NEXT YEAR's launch of the Tangula Express services from Beijing to Lhasa and Lijiang is the latest manifestation of a growing trend in railway operations around the world — the dedicated luxury train.
There are few major railways which do not host privately-owned luxury or charter trains in some form. These range from top-of-the-market rolling hotels such as the Royal Scotsman in the UK, or the Calgary-based Royal Canadian Pacific to simpler day excursions operated with former Pullman cars which fill a gap left by the withdrawal of most railways from the spot charter market.
Due to begin in spring 2008 the Tangula Express will operate on the Chinese Railways network under the management of Kempinski Hotels. Whilst the majority of today's luxury trains are promoted and marketed privately, most are operated under contract by their host railways. Elsewhere, some railways have ventured into the luxury market themselves, notably the Palace on Wheels and Deccan Odyssey run by Indian Railways in conjunction with the country's regional tourist authorities.
As trains that have to be dovetailed into the daily timetable, luxury trains and tourist charters inevitably require additional resources from the infrastructure provider or host operator. But many also generate a bigger income than the simple track access fee, perhaps from providing traction and crews, or maintenance of rolling stock. There are also unquantifiable benefits, such as giving the rail business a higher public profile or a perception of quality.
There are probably as many permutations of relationship between promoter, operator and infrastructure provider as there are luxury train operations. This article looks at the experiences of three of the leading companies offering bespoke trains, which provide a good cross-section of the range.
Three models
Longest in the field is Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Ltd, which began operating between London, Paris and Venezia in 1982. VSOE Chief Executive Nick Varian identifies three distinct types of operation:
- Day excursion. The simplest and most universally applicable is the out-and-back day trip. This is exemplified by VSOE's British Pullman and Northern Belle trains in the UK and the Hiram Bingham in Peru. Some trips incorporate an event or tourist destination; others simply give their passengers an opportunity to enjoy a three-course meal while watching the world go past the window.
- Great journeys. These take a particularly scenic or 'romantic' section of railway as the basis for a longer journey, with overnight accommodation provided on the train or in an hotel. Sleeping car services include the revamped Ghan and Indian Pacific in Australia and the shorter Orient Express routes in continental Europe. By contrast, the Rocky Mountaineer trains in British Columbia use hotels in Kamloops and Quesnel.
- Trains as a cruise. The ultimate luxury trains are effectively a re-invention of the maritime cruise, enabling their passengers to explore a country while enjoying the scenery. This makes the rail journey inherently more interesting than a cruise. The train is used as a mobile hotel, allowing the guests to reach remote places, perhaps in conjunction with a road excursion from a station. The increasing homogenisation of world cities, and port cities in particular, is giving trains an edge over cruises. Good examples of this approach include the VSOE's Eastern & Oriental, GW Travel's Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express launched in April 2007, the Deccan Odyssey and Rovos Rail cruises in South Africa.
Varian also divides the operating side of the luxury train business into three categories: infrastructure; train operations — traction, rolling stock and maintenance; and hotel services — the passenger-facing elements.
The progenitor and inspiration for private train operations, Georges Nagelmackers, who inaugurated the original Orient Express in 1883, set a pattern that has proved remarkably durable. He provided the train, and paid the host railways for a 'hook-and-pull' operation encompassing the provision of train paths, traction and operating services.
Looking at today's market, it is only in Peru that a private train operator has assumed responsibility for the provision of infrastructure. In partnership with Peruvian companies, Orient-Express Hotels holds a long-term concession from the state to operate two lines from Cuzco, to Machu Picchu and Puno, known as PeruRail. The concession agreement allowed 100% of the track access charges in the early years to be spent on bringing the infrastructure up to standard, later moving to a structure of stepped payments.
Operating in many different countries, VSOE has gained a wide experience of dealing with infrastructure providers, straddling the post-privatisation structure in Britain and the accounting separation of infrastructure and operations introduced elsewhere in the European Union countries. Varian recalls that considerable patience was needed to convince the Thai railway authorities of the feasibility of the Eastern & Oriental, which eventually required a change in the law.
Different tactics were required for old state monopolies in Europe where there were no commercial incentives to strike a deal, he says. 'I developed a new business technique, called begging, to overcome the reluctance of railway managers to take on something that would mean more work for them! Today a much more commercial attitude prevails, and having established an economic platform, we know what we can afford to pay.'
The President & CEO of Rocky Mountaineer Vacations, Peter Armstrong, says the main difficulty in Canada was overcoming the residual resistance of the freight railways to host passenger operations, a legacy of pre-VIA Rail days when Canadian National and Canadian Pacific had been obliged to run passenger trains at a loss. 'They were also concerned that I didn't come from a railway background, but I told them they would have to educate us in a lot of things, and they have! Squeezing us on to intensively used freight lines isn't always easy, but providing we leave and arrive at specified times and can slow down at scenic places for "Kodak moments", we're flexible on point-to-point timings and they can manoeuvre freight trains around us.'
Varian highlights the benefits of the partnership developed with Malayan Railway for the E&O, where VSOE pays KTMB the marginal economic cost of using the railway, plus the operating charges for drivers and train planning, and a marginal contribution to the infrastructure for the paths used. 'On top of the marginal cost, we pay them a proportion of our profit. Because their success is subject to ours, there is a strong incentive to correct any faults or problems.'
Train operations
Invariably private train companies specify and provide the rolling stock for their services. But who maintains it and who supplies the locomotives varies according to circumstance. It soon became apparent to VSOE that its fleet of historic carriages called for such specialist skills that it was better to develop in-house resources for maintenance — both above and below the solebar — or to use specialist contractors. In Britain all maintenance work must be validated by a Vehicle Acceptance Body, after which Network Rail accepts what has been signed off. In continental Europe, SNCF provides the regulatory control for VSOE's fleet.
Peter Armstrong thinks the RMV carriages are probably the most over-inspected units in Canada. 'Besides daily inspections by CP and CN, the Rail Safety Branch monitors our equipment and maintenance regime at least once a month, and we never know when they're coming. Our staff at the depot in Kamloops know the cars inside out, and technicians ride on the trains to feed back information about any defect and what work needs to be done. If we contracted out, I don't think we'd get that reliability or sense of ownership. The staff are proud of our cars and bring their kids down to see where they work.'
Unusually RMV also decided to buy its own locomotives and it now has a fleet of nine diesel locomotives in the company's own livery, although the drivers naturally are CN or CP crews. This decision was taken to remove any anxiety over the rostering of locomotives and to take responsibility for their reliability.
Hotel services
This area is the main forte of the private companies, providing a level of customer service to match the high standards expected of luxury operations. It is a labour-intensive business: GW Travel's Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express has more than 60 staff on board the 21 car train, drawn from a Russian Railways depot which also supplies crews for VIPs and foreign visitors. For its own operations, RMV has to supply 2?800 freshly-cooked à la carte meals each day.
In the 19 years since RMV began operations, Peter Armstrong believes standards of service have risen around the world, so passengers expect more. 'Guest service is the cornerstone of our business so it's important that we recruit employees who have extensive experience in providing spectacular guest service, rather than someone who is simply looking for a summer job. Training is a passion for us, as we constantly try to improve.
Varian stresses the almost vocational aspects of working on VSOE's trains. 'We've had a very good team from the beginning, and we have a very low turnover. Staff feel proud of their train and become emotionally involved in the theatrical aspects of service.'
Reflected glory
Although often a core business for their operators, luxury trains are never going to represent more than a small proportion of turnover for the host railways. Tim Littler, President of GW Travel, says the US$7m a year he pays to Russian Railways 'doesn't even amount to a rounding error in their accounts'.
Littler believes the value to RZD in hosting the Golden Eagle has to be seen in wider terms of prestige for the railway and the country. It may be an intangible and unquantifiable benefit, but these trains help to retain the romance of ?train travel and bolster its image. Staff, too, feel a sense of pride working with such trains.
Hard-nosed accountants may be sceptical about goodwill that cannot be measured, but it would be unrealistic to ignore the commercial advantage of the 'soft' perception of rail travel as an experience superior to air or road. At a time when security concerns and airport delays are seriously impacting on the perceived quality of air travel and congestion makes road journeys a time-wasting ordeal, rail travel is gradually winning back market share. Business and leisure travellers are increasingly in search of the qualities that these trains represent. Varian observes that after the E&O began running between Singapore and Bangkok, ridership of the ordinary service trains went up by 20%.
Good prospects for growth
Because the high prices charged for journeys on luxury trains make them — in many cases — a once-in-a-lifetime experience, up to 80% of passengers each year are new travellers. This calls for a sustained and long-term marketing effort. Publicity also relies heavily on word of mouth as the services become more established.
'We have to make sure that every aspect of the experience matches the scenery outside', says Peter Armstrong. 'Although the Asian market will become big, we don't want to go for volume; it wears out the equipment and staff, and we still want to be a tourist icon in 50 years.'
In some countries, the prospects for future luxury train operations rely on the support of the government's tourism-promotion arm, aligned with the perception by the railway administration of the value of such trains, in terms of marginal income and prestige. However, it seems that these bodies seldom talk to one another.
Though climate change is encouraging greater use of rail for leisure as well as business, Varian sees this as a double-edged sword. The difficulty of finding clear paths in an increasingly congested timetable may mean that — without a corresponding increase in capacity — more people travelling by train may push the private operators off busy routes.
With novelty still a key marketing factor, all three operators are looking for opportunities to expand. According to Tim Littler, a survey among cruise ship passengers suggested that almost half of the 6 million people per year who spend an average of $500 a night for such trips would be happy to take a train cruise. If only 2% of them did so, today's luxury trains would be swamped. ¦

At ESPC Lettings, we deal with landlords and buy-to-let investors on a daily basis. We always recommend that, as a landlord, you think about what type of tenant you want, you consider the location of your property and who it will appeal to, and think about the condition of the property.
Once you have decided on an area and you are searching for your property, always consider:
- The condition of the exterior.
- The condition of decor and fixtures. Is the property in good decorative order? If not, it is best to budget for this in advance?
- What will cost you money over time?
- Has the property been well maintained?
- Communal factors such as condition of the roof and stairwell.
Maximising your rent is achieved through the combination of:
- Decor that appeals to the widest possible market.

Infamous: Second Son's Delsin Rowe is Definitely a Seahawks Fan
As we all know, the protagonist of Infamous: Second Son, Delsin Rowe, lives and breaths in the city of Seattle, Washington. Even though he has powers and abilities that most of us would die for, he still does on occasion lead a somewhat normal life. Amidst all the monsters, the authorities breathing down his neck, and evil entities turning his life into a living hell, yes, even he has time for the most American of pastimes like a Hungry Man T.V. dinner on lazy Sundays, building anticipation for the new season of Game of Thrones, and most importantly, football.
Just like any other resident of Seattle who loves the Seahawks (outside of the those two cricket aficionados*groan* ), he loves to support his local NFL team. Sucker Punch recently revealed an in-game shot (above) of Delsin wearing a jacket vest with the number "12" on the back. Usually in football terms, the number 12 usually stands for the 12th person on a football team, and seeing as there are only 11 players on a team, the 12th spot is designated to the fans of the team (therefore the "12th" member). Who would've known…Rowe's gotta thing for football. So the next time you're sitting at CenturyLink Stadium and you see a flash of neon fireworks streaking across the field…you'll know who did it.

Is it good to keep secrets?
It might seem like an honour to be trusted with someone else's confidences, but keeping secrets can also weigh us down.
At any one time we keep around 17 secrets that people have confided in us, according to research by Dr Katie Greenaway from the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne.
But her studies also revealed that carefully guarding the secrets of others can take a toll.
"Secrecy really pervades all aspects of our lives. It's a big part of our work and personal lives," says Dr Greenaway.
What is a secret?
Secrets can be broadly described as:
- Big secrets that are more personal or likely to directly affect you, or someone close to you, such as a family secret.
- Little secrets that have little consequence if kept or told.
- Positive secrets like surprising upcoming events, proposals and pregnancies.
- Embarrassing secrets, where you fear social judgment if they were to be found out.
- Gossipy secrets that are usually rumour based, and may not be accurate.
The upside of keeping secrets
"There are upsides to secrecy. If someone confides secrets in us, it signals trust and intimacy and we end up feeling quite positively towards that person," says Dr Greenaway.
"Telling people intimate information is an intimacy building exercise.
"We make ourselves vulnerable and can increase social bonds.
"So people tell secrets to create a sense of social closeness, or sometimes they tell us secrets because they need to get information off their chest.
"Unburdening ourselves to others can be psychologically healthy."
- Candid relief: Why honesty really is the best policy
And the downside of secrets
But while being trusted with someone's secret can build bonds and make us feel valued, keeping that secret can become a burden that plays on our mind.
"We take it on as though it was as our own secret and as if we were keeping that information about ourselves," says Dr Greenaway.
"We feel burdened, the secret returns to our mind, we fixate on it and ruminate about it."
The research found people entrusted with secrets felt less happy, had less relationship satisfaction, felt weighed down and found tasks took more effort to complete.
Keeping the secret from people in our network can also be stressful.
- Chin wag: Can gossip be good for you?
Top tips to deal with secrets
- If you're told a secret, focus on the positives – someone trusts you enough to tell you that information.
- Figure out, with that person's permission and input, the best steps forward in dealing with that information.
- If you are going to confide a secret, think about it from the other person's perspective.
- Check they are ready and able to hear some information and to keep it confidential.

A team partially composed of ex-Bungie veterans brings its expertise to sidescrolling shooter Fallen Frontier.
Moonshot Games is using all of the techniques it learned through key staffers previously working on the Halo series to create a 2D Metroidvania-style title called Fallen Frontier. The studio showed off a playable demo of the game at PAX East 2011 which was basically a proof of concept, but already fun through engaging combat combined with multi-level platforming.
Fallen Frontier is a sidescrolling shooter set in a futuristic sci-fi universe where players use various types of weapons and abilities to make it through each level. The game's entirety can be experienced in two player co-op, so Moonshot engineer Michael Carriere joined me in my demo. While I took on the role of Fallen Frontier's jaded lawman, Carriere was playing as a mystery character. Details such as this character's identity and specifics on the story are still being kept under wraps.
Certain aspects of Halo, such as its regenerating health bar, are present in Fallen Frontier. Weapons feel familiar too, though they're used on a 2D plane. Moonshot was showing off an automatic rifle, a shotgun, and grenades, in addition to melee attacks and a grappling tool. You can use the grappling tool to swing across gaps, grab and pull enemies, or even latch onto your co-op partner to annoy him. Other abilities include a "shout" that repels enemies.
Rather than leading players down linear hallways, Fallen Frontier's environments feature many different levels of platforms. At the top of an area, hovering robots might fly in from above and attack you, while bipedal soldiers riddle you with bullets from below. The levels gave a hectic feeling to the game, and suited a co-op environment perfectly with both players able to take out different sets of enemies.
If you've never heard of "Metroidvania," the term refers to a game style that regularly improves its player's abilities so he can explore previously unreachable areas. For example, a player in such a game might find a pair of boots that enables him to perform a double jump, allowing him to save a cat he earlier saw stuck in a tree. Carriere said that there will be a system like this in place for Fallen Frontier, but it won't be too heavy handed.
You could compare Fallen Frontier to Shadow Complex, but the multi-tiered levels make its combat style totally different. In the future, Moonshot plans to add tons of different enemies (including jetpack types), more weapons, and the like, but is still searching for a publisher considering the game just hit the public eye. With the development pedigree in place at the studio, combined with a game that is pretty fun in an extremely early phase, I don't see how a publisher wouldn't want to pickup the game as a downloadable title and make some money. Ideally, Moonshot will release Fallen Frontier on the PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and the PlayStation Network when everything falls into place.

Kidepo Valley National park is found in Uganda, on the north eastern part near the border of South Sudan and Kenya. Its 1442 square kilometers in size dominated by 2750 meters of Mount Morungule and transected by the Kidepo and Narus Rivers. The few who make the long journey to the north through the wild frontier region of Karamoja would agree that it is also the most magnificent, for Kidepo ranks among Africa's finest wildernesses.
The World Travel Awards brand is recognized globally as the ultimate hallmark of industry excellence. The Awards were established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries.
Kidepo Valley National park was nominated in the Category of Africa's leading National park against the others which are Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana, Etosha National Park in Namibia, Kruger National Park in South Africa, Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and Serengeti National Park in Tanzania.
From Apoka in the heart of the park, a savannah landscape extends far beyond the gazetted area, towards horizons outlined by distant mountain ranges. During the dry season, the only permanent water in the park is found in wetlands and remnant pools in the broad Narus Valley near Apoka. These seasonal oases, combined with the open, savannah terrain, make the Narus Valley the park's prime game viewing location. A lot of activities can be done in Kidepo which include Birding, Hiking & Nature walks, Game drives, Cultural encounters and more.
World Travel Awards™ celebrates its 24th anniversary year in 2017. Its annual program is renowned as the most prestigious and comprehensive in the global industry. Each year World Travel Awards™ covers the globe with its Grand Tour – a series of regional gala ceremonies to recognize excellence within each continent, culminating in a Grand Final at the end of the year.

London Bridge attack
Unite against terrorism, racism, war and austerity
Kick out the Tory hypocrites
Paula Mitchell, London Socialist Party secretary
Another terrible attack in London. Two people stabbed to death, three more injured, and the attacker shot dead by the police. The Socialist Party completely condemns this horrific attack.
It took place on London Bridge, following the attack in the same area in 2017 in which eight people were killed.
In that year there were four terrorist attacks in London: at Westminster, on the Finsbury Park mosque and a partially-exploded bomb on the tube, as well as the London Bridge attack. In that year there was also the horrific Manchester atrocity.
This time it would appear to have been more targeted rather than an indiscriminate attack on the public. However, as is always the case, it is ordinary people who suffer, and it is ordinary members of the public and emergency service workers who showed great bravery in confronting the attacker and dealing with the situation.
The human solidarity expressed from people across London, the country and worldwide has nothing in common with the hypocritical reaction of Boris Johnson and other Tory government ministers.
Their policies create the conditions for such horrific acts and then they try to make political capital from them.
The political parties officially suspended campaigning in the general election but that didn't prevent Boris Johnson and the other parties of big business from attempting to use the attack to their advantage. Just a few short hours after the attack, every party pledged to increase police numbers.
The attacker was out of prison on licence following a conviction for terrorism. Boris Johnson tried to play the hard man saying he had "long argued that it is a mistake to allow serious and violent criminals to come out of prison early".
Chris Phillips, a former head of the UK National Counter Terrorism Security Office, has launched an attack on the criminal justice system, which he said needs to "look at itself".
But it is this Tory government, and the Tory-LibDem alliance before that, that 'talks tough' but has presided over cuts to every aspect of their justice system.
It's not just cuts of 20,000 police. The probation service was privatised and that has been such a disaster that even the Tories recognise it needs to be renationalised.
Cuts to the Ministry of Justice of 40% of its funding, among the deepest to government departments, have led to big delays and the closures of courts.
Conditions in prisons are catastrophic with overcrowding, 9,000 cuts in prison officers, and cuts to rehabilitation.
Incidences of self-harm in prisons have increased over 70% and attacks on staff have escalated.
Local councils, including Labour councils, have passed on Tory cuts to young offenders services and all youth services.
Working class people's access to justice has been devastated by the cut of £1 billion from legal aid.
The big business politicians may praise the firefighters and ambulance workers after attacks and disasters but when he was London mayor, Boris Johnson cut £29 million from the fire service in London in 2013, including the loss of ten fire stations, 14 fire engines and 552 firefighters.
In 2011 the Tory-LibDem coalition cuts meant 890 job cuts were proposed in London's ambulance service. Not to mention the meltdown in the NHS caused by cuts and privatisation, with a 100,000 national jobs shortage and £6 billion backlog for repairs and maintenance - and 78% of NHS staff feeling under too much pressure.
The Tories and the right-wing of Labour try to attack Corbyn over 'security' but it is the murderous foreign policy of Tory and Blair governments alike, especially in the Middle East, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, that have created a nightmare for the people of that region and have increased the likelihood of abhorrent terrorist attacks across the world, including in Britain. Those wars were opposed by the majority of the population, including Jeremy Corbyn.
In two weeks' time there is an opportunity to boot out these Tory hypocrites, the austerity pro-war capitalist politicians. But we must be aware that the majority of Labour MPs who get elected in December also have supported war and austerity, and are opposed to the socialist-leaning measures in Corbyn's programme.
We must resist any attempts to divide the working class along racist lines; and prepare for mass struggle to win the popular policies in Corbyn's manifesto.
Fight to end austerity and for a socialist world to end the wars, poverty, racism and terrorism that are created by capitalism.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.

Many people have asked what is the point of decorating the pockets in planners?
My answer?
They make fantastic inspiration boards! The minute you open your planner you can be immediately inspired! And inspiration brings motivation. Something you want when you're planning anything.
As I am using this A5 from The Lollipop Box as an inspiration project planner, I went all out and decorated the pockets. Yes it's a lot of faffing, but it's worth it. You can use up bits of ephemera, paperclips, stickers, cards, etc. Cut them up if you have to in order to give a bit of a background to one of your pockets.
Next I added a clear plastic wallet. I did have to re punch the holes for it to fit my planner as it was one from a two ring binder at Wilko's.
I reinforced the holes with beautiful glitter hole reinforcers...
Next, I added the month and week to view sheets from the Lollipop Box. Octobers colours just happen to match my lilac planner perfectly.
I found a task list from a previous box and clipped it to the plastic wallet. This meant I had my task to hand.
The planner itself is a lovely compact A5 and feels lovely to hold. Perfect for on the go! And it has two, yes TWO pen loops! The loop is magnetic and so very easy to open and close.
Look out for an upcoming video showing you how I actually use this planner.


text: American Association of School Administrators Releases Vision for a New and Improved Elementary and Secondary Education Act Written by eSchool News ARLINGTON, Va.–As Congress begins the reauthorization process for the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the American Association of School Administrators has released its 2007 Legislative Agenda. ESEA, currently known as No Child Left Behind, is the principal law that establishes federal funding and regulations for K-12 education. AASA´s Legislative Agenda outlines recommendations for a new and improved version of ESEA and calls for a fundamental change in the federal role in education. "AASA believes the federal government´s role in education is to help provide equal opportunity for each child, and to supplement and support, rather than dictate, state and local education efforts," said Bruce Hunter, AASA associate executive director for public policy. "AASA´s 2007 Legislative Agenda provides guidance on this and other key principles in the reauthorization of ESEA." AASA´s recommendations for the reauthorization of ESEA include: *Realign the federal role in education. The federal government should: ensure equal educational opportunity for each child by focusing on those students with the highest degrees of poverty; strengthen, not supplant, state and local efforts in education; keep an oversight role proportional to its financial contribution to local school districts; and coordinate among various federal programs such as health care and housing programs to better mitigate the effects of poverty that have a significant impact on student achievement. *Focus accountability under ESEA on students with the highest degrees of poverty. However, all students should still be assessed and student achievement data should still be disaggregated by subgroup. *Grant states the flexibility to use assessment and accountability systems that measure academic progress of individual students, including multiple measures. *Take into account the individual learning needs of each child when measuring achievement for special education students and English language learners. The progress of English language learners should be measured based on individual student needs and previous education experience with no arbitrary limitations. The progress of special education students should be measured based on individualized needs and conditions. *Broaden the definition of proficiency to include skills needed for students to be citizens in a global economy, including creative skills, collaborative skills and problem-solving skills, and continue to set standards at the state level. The AASA Legislative Agenda also provides recommendations on the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act, school-based Medicaid claiming, the Universal Children´s Health Insurance, child nutrition, the Higher Education Act, the E-Rate program, the Secure Rural Schools and Communities Self-Determination Act, school vouchers and school safety. MORE INFORMATION The Legislative Agenda is available online in the AASA Legislative Action Center at www.aasa.org/policy/content.cfm?ItemNumber=7537&token=49189&userID=16163&snItemNumber=7726. AASA´s public policy experts are available to discuss the proposed changes to ESEA. For more information, contact Bruce Hunter, associate executive director for public policy, at 703-875-0738 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or Mary Kusler, assistant director of government relations, at 703-875-0733 or firstname.lastname@example.com. ABOUT AASA AASA, founded in 1865, is the professional organization for more than 13,000 educational leaders across the United States. AASA´s mission is to support and develop effective school system leaders who are dedicated to the highest quality public education for all children. AASA´s major focus is standing up for public education. For more information, please visit www.aasa.org.

4 out of 4 stars
Share This Review
And Then I Met Margaret by Rob White is a nonfiction work that can best be described as a motivational memoir. White describes his start in a stereotypical small town where everybody follows tradition without question. Each child knows his destiny before he or she graduates high school. He goes on to describe his life and its lessons as he questions his fate and veers away from what is chosen for him. As his career grows and he becomes successful, Mr. White is faced with an ever-growing emptiness. He seeks out some of the most prolific life coaches. As he tries to find what he is missing, he comes to the realization that some of the best teachers are just average people that you encounter everyday.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Each chapter depicts an important lesson that the author learned that dispels the myth that he believes on the beginning page. The teachers that Robert encounters range from college janitors to school children. He talks of his experiences in humorous ways, such as referring to a petty candy crime as if it was the biggest robbery in the world. The individual in that story that helped him out made a lasting impression in him that ultimately changed his behavior. The humor in the story kept the readers attention while continuing to keep on track.
I did not notice any mistakes throughout this book. It seems professionally edited and is arranged expertly. The stories flow very well from one to the next. White does a great job at keeping the stories brisk while making sure the idea of the meetings pronounced. He includes enough detail while not making sure no unnecessary information is included. The chapters are not choppy like I thought the would be which was fantastic.
While each chapter highlights a different lesson that White was taught, I believe that the book itself has a lesson as well. His success was created along with un-fulfillment. The book showed me that everything comes at a price and in order to be truly happy, you must do what is right for you and not what others think is right for you.
There was not anything that I did not like about this book. The author does a great job at keeping the story flowing while making sure all the important information is included. The humor that he uses throughout the stories keeps the reader's attention while making sure that the morals of each chapter is impressed. I give And Then I Met Margaret by Rob White 4 out of 4 stars. It is a great motivational memoir that is sure to inspire anyone that feels like there is something missing in their lives. I highly recommend this book to everyone who feels like they are stuck in a rut.
And Then I Met Margaret

Abalone is a kind of mollusk commonly found off the coast of La Jolla. When La Jolla was a farming community in the late 19th and early 20th century, Abalone meat was used to fertilize the soil. The unique ear shaped shell has many uses. Abalone is commonly recognized as the shell used by some Native Americans as currency or as a bowl for burning sage. It was believed that the combined energies of abalone and sage would send their intended message to the heavens. Even today, people burn sage in Abalone as part of energy cleansing rituals.
Abalone is a very durable shell, and wearing abalone is thought to protect its wearer the same way the shell protects the iridescent inner layers used in these earrings. Abalone also brings with it the healing nature of the sea and is considered helpful for soothing emotional strife.

Ted, in his own words:
It was 2004 and I was a Grade 7 for years. After all, refereeing soccer was nothing more than a hobby and a way to spend time with my dad on weekends. A free Saturday, a State Cup qualifier at Lakewood Ranch and a phone call from Ken Miller's wife to her husband – or so the story goes – and all of a sudden I get an invite to Panama City for State Cup Final Four. I remember Bud Wandell telling me that he was starting to referee college soccer and he had to go to Orlando for a game. I thought, 'why would he ever drive all the way from Sarasota to Orlando to referee a soccer game?' No way I'm driving to Panama City for one. [It is 450 miles to drive from Sarasota to Panama City]. Yet, I did. And, well, it changed my life.
If there's one thing about this referee life, [it] is that everyone's path is different. There is no set framework. All you can do is be the best you can be every time you take the field and represent yourself in the best light off of it.
This is my 11th season as a professional referee, 4th year on the FIFA panel and God willing will reach my 100th whistle in the MLS in 2019. I've been on a World Cup Qualifier in Azteca, in a tournament in Portugal and took charge of China's most important domestic match in Shanghai in 2017. Good thing I drove to Panama City.
My wife referees a little bit too. Some of you might have met her – I hope you have, as she's such an amazing ambassador for the refereeing community. You need people like this in your refereeing career, so please go meet them, ask questions, pick their brains. There is no substitution for experience. I have my trusted group, and I wouldn't be successful without them.
There is nothing more important to me than family. Everything I do is for them, and last flight out / first flight in has always been my mantra. I'd challenge you to do the same. Spend more time with good people, because life is better that way. Give back to whomever and however you can.
On that note, I'll do my best to do just that this summer in Baton Rouge as I'll be instructing at Southern Regionals. Please say hi if we get to cross paths, and I'll leave you with what I tell Christina and my crews before matches: "Be Great!"

I don't really get the chance to see many commercials since I often watch TV using my DVR. I absolutely LOVED the M&M Superbowl commercial but I know have a new favorite. This weekend I was passing by the TV and saw this one and it laughed out loud!
LOL I love this commercial too and wish he would have taken that darn shirt off haha
Yeah, he should remain shirtless at all times.
Agreed! I also laugh at the Burger King Steven Tyler commercial when he has the drive thru head set on and wonders where the voice is coming from. Perfect fit to his personality.
All I got to say is, "Shirt off!" 🙂
Mmmmm David Beckham. *drool*
lol soo hot!
I liked that one, too.
Love those. I just love the Steven Tyler Burger King commercial, it cracks me up every time I see it!
Too funny!
LOL! I vote shirt off!

This is a great commercial. But I have to say I am loving the Honda commercial where the family sings Crazy Train by Ozzy.
I love that one too.

LOL — that one cracks me up too.
Haha I too love this commercial. I just wish it ended with his shirt off.

I'm not a fan of Burger King commercials normally, so when I saw this title, I just had to check it out. Very funny! Just one question: anyone really remember what it's for? HaHa
I love this commercial TOO, David Beckham is great!:)
That is a funny commercial. I am so glad they got rid of the king. I always thought he was scary.
The commercial is smartly made and is very exciting seeing David Beckham in it.

I remember my first visit to Hong Kong. A year into my new policy career I was greeted by my university colleague at the arrivals hall at the international terminal. Back then we thought nothing of taking the bus to take us from the airport to where he lived. It was a student apartment that he was able to get for me - $100 for the week. From that apartment at a dizzying height up in the hills, I called my partner back home, with what seemed to be a distant view of a bay dotted with tankers underneath greyish skies.

Comoros, a tiny, fragrant, post-colonial island nation off the east coast of continental Africa is famous for being the world's top producer of ylang-ylang and the world's second-largest producer of vanilla (Madagascar is the world's largest). Apart from being one of the world's largest producers of cloves, vanilla and ylang-ylang, used in top perfumeries, Comoros is also known for the world's most affordable citizenship-by-investment program.
Three of Comoros' major islands gained independence from France, its former colonial ruler in 1975. Mayotte, the fourth major island continues as French territory. With ties to Islam dating back to the 7th century, Comoros is majority Sunni Muslim and its official languages are French, Comorian and Arabic. Comoros has an abundance of natural wonders and white beaches unspoilt by comparatively few tourists visiting each year.

24 Saturday 24th September 2011
Well and truly on his search for life outside Berlin, I catch up with Apparat (AKA Sascha Ring) from the hotel lobby of a tour break. In Morocco. Without trying to make me too jealous, I learn in the first few minutes of our chat that he's taking a few days off to regroup before heading back to Europe for a series of post-festival dates and to promote his new record. Out today, The Devil's Walk is a melodic and dark take on the textured electronica we've come to expect from this prolific man. Whether working with the rest of the band in Apparat or branching out with Modeselektor as Moderat, there's always a bit of a surprise up his sleeve. And this time round, it's about discovering the joys of Mexico by motorbike and almost entirely re-writing the album before its release...
We heard about your motorbike retreat to Mexico with Joshua Eustis [of Telefon Tel Aviv] and a few others, to record the album. What inspired that choice?
I think I've always been into travelling. I couldn't for the first twelve years of my life since I was locked into a country but suddenly I realized how big and beautiful the world is. And Mexico... I've had a connection with Mexico for a long time: I played there for the first time eight years ago, made some cool friends and go back quite often. They also have an amazing music scene there.
The new limited edition pack for the album is out today. Since it's your fourth record now, how are you feeling in the lead-up to its release?
I'm more nervous than ever, really. Everything is new this time: the band, the label, more media interest but mainly the fact that I've never taken such a risk with a record. There's a lot of me in it. If some of the others were well-crafted and good-sounding, this one is definitely closer to my heart and it feels a bit like giving birth to something.
How much of what we hear on the record is from organic real instruments, and how much electronic? Since recording, how much do you think you've changed its sound?
Let's say eighty percent of the sounds are electronic. At some point [co-producer Patrick] Nackt and I went totally crazy and substituted every computer noise with a real one but in the end a lot of these were tweaked and made electronic again. The fact we were playing around with microphones is definitely the reason behind the dirtier sound of this record: there's a lot more hiss and hum on it. It was a bit like being a kid again; a very playful way of making music.
What would you say to people who claim you're mellowing out your sound and losing the techno edge?
I think that's been a long-term organic transition. It already started eight years ago when I recorded guitars and saxophoes for my second album but of course this time the change is more dramatic as I'm singing a lot and that always makes a big difference. The thing is, I never made a song for a purpose. I make music for myself. I don't wanna do the same thing twice.
I'd definitely understand if someone said they expected something else and they're disappointed but if someone says it sounds like "Coldplay trying to make IDM (intelligent dance music)" I think they should fuck off. I know what I'm doing cannot be loved by everyone but I also know that my work has a certain quality. It's a really good record. Maybe not for everyone though.
We all know about your musical links to Modeselektor. How did you meet and start working together? And any more Moderat work on the horizon?
We met about ten years ago, jammed together and even played some Moderat shows then, just in Berlin for our homies. It was cool. I miss the old days, the old Berlin. Anyway - we became friends and we always wanted to make an album together. It took us seven years. When Moderat was released we thought we'd tour for two months then start working on our own stuff again. Two months became two years and it was really hard for all of us to work on our own stuff again after we were done touring.
We'll definitely make another record but I don't wanna set a deadline for that. There's already enough music out there and I wanna wait until I really have something to say again.
How did you meet Anja Plaschg of Soap&Skin and get her onto 'Goodbye'? And why not use your own vocal (not that hers doesn't sound amazing)?
We've been friends for quite a while. I was working on this song idea called 'Cis' (most of my songs have a three-letter working title) and I think I recorded four different vocal melodies before I was ready to bury it with all the others that will never see the light of the day, but something about it kept me working on it.
This one night I had the idea, let's call it an enlightenment, to just erase all my vocals and send the song and the lyrics to Anja. She changed the lyrics to make it work from her perspective and basically recorded the vocals overnight. The next morning I had the song in my mailbox and she said "thank you for the inspiration". It was a perfect match. No "my manager will call your agent" shit. That's why I can totally love this song on this rather personal record, because I can still connect to it.
The Devil's Walk is out today (September 26, 2011) on Mute Records. See more about Apparat on his site, Facebook page and via his label.

Media regulator in Russia starts checking legality of BBC's operations
MOSCOW - Russia's media regulatοr said οn Friday it would carry out checks to determine if the BBC Wοrld News channel and BBC internet sites cοmplied with Russian law, a mοve it described as a respοnse to British pressure οn a Russian TV channel.
Roskomnadzοr, the regulatοr, said in a statement its checks were Russia's respοnse to a decisiοn by British media regulatοr Ofcοm, which οn Thursday said that Russian brοadcaster RT had brοken impartiality rules in some of its news and current affairs prοgrams.
"The results of our check will be annοunced separately," the Russian regulatοr said.
There was nο immediate cοmment frοm either the BBC οr Ofcοm.
Ofcοm said οn Thursday it was cοnsidering impοsing some kind of sanctiοn οn RT, which is financed by the Russian state. It took issue in particular with its cοverage of the pοisοning in Britain of fοrmer Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter.
Britain has accused agents wοrking fοr Russia's military intelligence agency, the GRU, of cοmmitting the crime, an allegatiοn Moscοw denies.
British Media Secretary Jeremy Wright also weighed in οn Thursday, saying what he called RT's mask as an impartial news prοvider was slipping.
RT rejected Ofcοm's findings, saying Ofcοm had ignοred its explanatiοns and nοt paid "due regard" to its rights.
Commenting οn the launch of the Russian investigatiοn οn Friday, Margarita Simοnyan, RT's editοr-in-chief, said οn Twitter that Ofcοm had hinted that it planned to strip her channel of its brοadcasting license in Britain.
" brave new wοrld," she wrοte.
"I assume they will nοw look to see if the BBC expresses alternative pοints of view. With a micrοscοpe."
Russian state media has criticized the BBC in recent days, accusing it of trying to falsely prοve that Moscοw was involved in whipping up street prοtests in France, a charge that Russia rejects.

Mizzou Forte makes melodies at Middlebush
The a capella ensemble covered songs by Lady GaGa, The Foo Fighters and Gwen Stefani.
Dec. 07, 2010
As the lights dimmed and talking ceased within Middlebush auditorium Friday, the audience settled in to witness the Mizzou Forte a cappella winter performance.
Mizzou Forte, MU's premier a cappella ensemble, covered a variety of songs and collaborations including music by Lady GaGa, The Foo Fighters, Sam Sparro, Gwen Stefani, MU tradition songs and one special original piece.
In between these songs, Mizzou Forte performed short entertainment skits called "In Between Acts." Most of the In Between Acts were pure entertainment and not limited to singing.
"It's just something to entertain the audience," Mizzou Forte President Chris Goers said. "It gives the people a chance to rest their voices for five minutes."
The song selection for the performance was a mixture of popular songs and the performers' favorite songs.
"(When we choose songs) we first throw some songs on a board," senior member Justin Short said. "Then we will narrow it down from there. Sometimes we vote or sometimes we will all just come to a consensus on a song. It's usually pretty unanimous."
Mizzou Forte tries to offer free music to the MU campus.
"Sometimes we charge, but since we get Middlebush for free, it's something that we can do is offer free music," Goers said. "So, sometimes our concerts aren't free but for the past couple of ones we have been able to do free concerts."
The group wants to better itself for future competition, concerts next semester, and even for itself.
"Some of the upperclassmen stated that this is the strongest we have been in a long time," freshman member Michael Scallorns said. "So, I expect us to do well in (future competitions), go onto different rounds and compete with more groups around the country."
Along with preparing for the International Championships of A Cappella, they plan to host more semester concerts, begin the process of making an album debut and manage song choices.
"We do have a couple of songs lined up for next semester," stated Short. "We will do the 'The Dog Days Are Over' by Florence and The Machine."
Mizzou Forte has many plans for the future.
"There have been talks of making a CD or doing a high school tour," Scallorns said.
Mizzou Forte is a dedicated and rigorous group, but it also has fun.
"Mizzou Forte is a collection of unique individuals that love music and I consider it a second family," Goers said. "Honestly, we are a tight knit group and everybody clicks really well. We are a family who loves to sing and that's what I like.

Becca Gallis poured in a career-high 30 points as the Monmouth women and Lake Forest each controlled large stretches of the game, but in the end the Foresters hung a 67-59 loss on the Scots, dropping Monmouth into a tie for second in the league with Lake Forest.
Leading 18-15 at the end of the first quarter, the Scots went cold in the second 10 minutes as Lake Forest raced out to a 39-23 halftime lead. The tables turned in the second half when Shayne Smith scored on the Scots' first possession and Gallis hit a jumper and a pair of free throws to close the gap to 39-29. Two Allie Meyers' free throws with five minutes left in the period began Monmouth's 15-2 run to close the gap to 46-45 entering the fourth quarter.
The Foresters opened the final frame with a four-point play and took a seven-point lead on another jumper on their first two possessions. The Scots stayed close, cutting the deficit to two at 57-55 on a Carley Turnbull bucket-and-one with 2:22 left to play. Lake Forest held off the Scots in the final minute with another four-point play and a 7-of-9 performance from the free throw line.
The Scots could climb back into a share of first place in the league Friday when they host league-leading Ripon in a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.
The Monmouth men took the lead for good midway through the first half, but had to withstand a furious second half by Lake Forest to post an 87-83 road win and move into a three-way tie for fourth place in the Midwest Conference.
The Scots improved to 5-1 in the month of January to move to 6-4 in the conference, tying Lake Forest and Lawrence for the final berth in next month's league championships. Monmouth hit 56 percent of their shots in the first half to lead 48-32 at the break, but the Foresters ramped up their offense in the second half as the Scots' shooting cooled.
Monmouth stretched the lead to 20 after the break, 54-34, on a pair of D.J. Swift 3-pointers in the first two minutes of the half. The lead grew to 21, at 62-41 when Trey Swearingen drained a three with 12:52 left. Lake Forest then chipped away, first trimming the hole to nine on a bucket-and-one with 5:59 left to make the Scots' lead 73-64. The Scots lead dwindled to 80-75 on another Forester bucket-and-one with 1:06 to play, but Monmouth went 7-of-8 from the free throw line in the final 63 seconds to hang on for the win.
Will Carius earned his first double-double since setting the program single-game scoring record on Jan. 2 with a 26-point, 10-rebound effort. Carius' night included a perfect 13-for-13 from the line. Swift dialed in 19 points while Justin Batterton added 16 and Tyler Houston chipped in 13.
Monmouth could continue their climb up the league ladder Friday when they host Ripon, currently No. 3 in the MWC standings. Tip off is set for 7:30 p.m.

Retrospective reserve is usually meant as the expected accumulated value at a given time of past premimums less benefits. With reference to multistate models, hoth the state of the policy at the time of valuation and its past story must be considered in calculating such expected value. Since it is unlikely that the retrospective reserve can be evaluated for any possible path of the risk, different definitious can be given according to the hypotheses on its story.
In this paper we firstly examine the main definitions of retrospective reserve given in the framework of multistate models. Then, we formulate a new definition which generalizes that given in conventional life insurance mathematics. Comparisons among the various definitions are proposed in some examples which, inter alias, show the different behaviour and magnitude of such reserves.

The aim of this paper is to summarize the historical development of the concept of a fuzzy preference structure and to present the resulting material in a logical manner. Roughly speaking, three phases can be distinguished. In the first phase, different proposais for constructing fuzzy strict preference and indifference relations emerge. In the second one, this construction is approached in an axiomatic way, by imposing couditions on the fuzzy strict preference, indifference and incomparability relations, leading to functional equations identifying suitabie strict preference, indifference and incomparability generators. Surprisingly, the detinition of a fuzzy preference structure was only given in the third phase, leading to the study of additive fuzzy preference structures. Combined with results from the axiomatic approach, this has linally led to the discovery of characterizable fuzzy preference structures.

Die optimale Aufteilung von Regalflächen zwischen konkurrierenden Produkten ist ein zentrales und regelmäßig wiederkehrendes Problem des Einzelhandels. Die für diesen Zweck zum Einsatz kommenden kommerziellen Software-Pakete basieren teilweise auf kennzahlengestützten Heuristiken und liefern Hilfestellungen bei der "manuellen" Optimierung verfügbarer Verkaufsflächen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird vor dem Hintergrund eines literaturbasierten Überblicks über bekannte Ansätze zur Regaloptimierung über die eigene Software REOP (REgalOPtimierung) berichtet, mit der mittels ganzzahliger, nichtlinearer Optimierung eine systematische Verbesserung der Regalflächennutzung unter Berücksichtigung von den Produktabverkauf beeinflussenden Erklärungsvariablen ermöglicht wird.

This essay suggests that law, economic thought and moral/religious values may be related in ways that condition how each functions. It sketches the potential value of investigating this triad by looking at two patterns of interaction and locating each in a specific narrative context taken from the development of competition law in Europe. In one, law functions as a transforming bridge between religious/moral values and economic thought, while in the other the three domains of thought and discourse combine to create structural synergies that dialectically influence each in return.

This study examines empirically the link between bank failures and statutorially created increases in the extent of federal deposit insurance coverage. The model includes such factors as the percentage of deposits at federally insured banks that was covered by federal deposit insurance (FDICOV), the tangible capital/asset ratio, the commercial bank cost of funds, and the prime rate of interest. Using cointegration techniques involving maximum eigenvalue, trace, and likelihood ratio tests, together with semi-annual data for 1965–91, the study reveals that the bank failure rate is cointegrated with FDICOV, the capital/asset ratio, and the commercial bank cost of funds. Accordingly, it is inferred that—consistent with previous studies—the system of federal deposit insurance very likely induced bank failures during the study period.

Can the reduction of working hours be a suitable policy instrument to reduce unemployment? The following article presents a model of the effects of such a reduction—without offsetting adjustments to wage rates—on unemployment in the context of growing real capital mobility between countries and discusses the consequences for economic policy.

Governments are beginning to fear that the establishment of the "information society" will cause their revenue from taxation to shrink: economic activities in the virtual world of the Internet could escape the application of value added tax. Are these fears justified? Would a "bit tax" solve the problem?
