For definitions and background, this is a great post:
My specific question: Exactly what factors does Wireshark look for to label a Gratuitous ARP as Gratuitous?
This is a PCAP which includes 3 gratuitous ARPs pulled from various capture sessions.
All three are definitely Gratuitous, but Wireshark is only marking the first two as Gratuitous.
The third packet conforms to the RFC 5227 Probe, used to preemptively detect duplicate addresses before putting an IP address to use. The probe is, by definition, gratuitous, as it wasn't prompted by an ARP Request. But Wireshark does not label it as such. Why?
asked 13 Jan '17, 20:40
To quote the comment in the Wireshark ARP dissector:
See also the Wireshark Wiki page on gratuitous ARPs.
RFC 5227 says, in section 1.1 "Conventions and Terminology Used in This Document":
and says in section 4 "Historical Note" that:
The first two packets are capital-G Gratuitous ARPs/ARP Announcements, as the source and target protocol (IP) addresses are the same. The third packet isn't a capital-G Gratuitous ARP.
Perhaps Wireshark should drop the term "Gratuitous ARP" and, instead, detect and report "ARP Announcement" and "ARP Probe" packets.

I think the 3. packet is an ARP Probe in accordance to the RFC 5227, too.
In Section 2.1.1 we can read, that an ARP Probe may fillthe IP_Sender filed with all zeros:
Even if ARP Probe/Anouncement may be more correct, the terms Gratiuos ARP Request/Response are more known I think.
(14 Jan '17, 06:30) Christian_R
Yes, that's why I mentioned ARP Probes in my comment.
Is there any place that defines an ARP Probe, rather than an ARP Announcement, as a "Gratuitous ARP"? Richard Stevens' book defines it as "a host [sending] an ARP request looking for its own address.", which is what RFC 5227 called an "ARP Announcement":
RFC 2002 section 4.6 "ARP, Proxy ARP, and Gratuitous ARP" and RFC 5944 section 4.6 "ARP, Proxy ARP, and Gratuitous ARP" say:
(14 Jan '17, 14:21) Guy Harris ♦♦
@Guy Harris It seems that I have missunderstood you answer a liitel bit.
So I would not change the term GRAP into ARP Anouncement. But it might be helpful to name the ARP Probe as an ARP Probe.
(15 Jan '17, 01:21) Christian_R
Thanks for the run down, Guy. Maybe getting Wireshark to label the 3rd packet as an ARP Probe or Announcement would be beneficial. Because (as you pointed out) it isn't exactly a Gratuitous ARP, but it is closer to a Gratuitous ARP than a regular ARP Request/Response conversation. It would be more accurate to call it Gratuitous, but most accurate to call it an ARP Probe.
(16 Jan '17, 08:46) erh
To go a step further. There is a distinction between a ARP Probe and an ARP Announcement. I went ahead and captured the ARP packets after setting a new IP address on Win10 (but I believe this is the same process on Win8 and beyond, per this). I updated the original packet capture to include four additional ARP packets.
Of the last 4 packets, the first 3 (packet#4/5/6) are ARP Probes, they include a Sender MAC and Target IP address for the IP address/mapping they are trying to validate (192.168.0.254). They include a Sender IP and Target MAC of all zeros, in order to not accidentally update an ARP cache on the network with information that is not yet determined to be conflict free. These are ARP Probes.
The last packet (packet#7) is an ARP Announcement -- the host, having successfully determined that the IP address is not in use, "claims" it by sending out this final ARP Announcement. Wireshark currently labels this as Gratuitous ARP, which I believe is accurate enough. The only difference between this ARP Announcement and a true gratuitous arp is maybe that the ARP Announcement is still an ARP Request packet, where as the true Gratuitous ARP packets I've seen have all been ARP Replies.
That said, the RFC's do not specify that a Gratuitous ARP must be a Reply, it in fact leaves it up to the vendor to implement as a Reply or Response. So given that, I'm not sure there is enough of a way to distinguish a true Gratuitous ARP from an ARP Announcement. But it very well may be sufficient to continue to label the ARP Announcement as a Gratuitous ARP.
(But the ARP Probe should definitely be labeled as such, as it is neither an Gratuitous ARP or a regular ARP Request/Reply).

IS he gone, Gwynn? IS he? Stay tuned. We gotta get her to the right place ;D
Which meanss...
Momma Bear needs some answers and Baby Bear better deliver X"D
Thank you for reading everybody! <333
Hay Everyone! So for MONTHS and months I have been meaning to present a little show and tell of my own extra SoO works as well as beautiful art by other beautiful people!
So let's begin!
Starting with my extra content, I had recently hosted the 2017 Valentine's Crossover Exchange right here on ComicFury! There were quite a few shenanigans with wonderful characters from other comics! Click on the thumbnails to check them out!
Here we have a recent(ish) illustration including an upcoming character! You can read a little bit about him if you follow the link! :D
And finally, I am partaking of a 30 day OTP challenge on DeviantArt. Of course several of these 30 illustrations are going to be of my SoO cast! One was used in this page.... here are the other two so far!
And now on to the beautiful art by others!
To start us off... the Your SoO Ocs page has been updated with the improved bio of Ryder, and the newest OC to appear, Sid! Click on the thumbnails to read their bios by Alicia!
And we have another new OC who has NOT appeared yet added to the site as well! You can click on the thumbnail to read a bit about her if you like! By LilBlueBox!
And lastly, but not leastly, the Fan Art Site has been remodeled! Here are some beautiful arts I have been blessed with over the past year-- please have a look and follow the links to their talented creators! <333
WOO! And I do believe that does it! I won't let things build up like this again. I do hope you enjoyed this presentation! I hope you found some awesome new people to follow as well! Thank you all SO much!
Ooooh is she going to work out who helped him? I honestly can't wait.
Yay Jammz! I'm excited that you're excited :D :D
Its looking that way! :3
Time to put two and two together!
Man, Hizzy jumped like he was bit! Well, again, that is!
Finally connect some dots, amiright?
LOL nothing strikes fear in his heart like the scolding of his mother! X"DD
That panel with Hizruk. LOL I died. X'D
Aw, that first part of the page though... I really feel for Gwynn. You used the panels and the expressions to give such feels. T_T
It's been a while since we had a good laugh at Hizruk's expense xDD
Thank you so much <33... yea it's a pretty impactful moment for her, even if it's small!
Been a while since Hizruk had to read much, huh?
Aaaaand he's in troubleeee...
LOL X'D... reading and writing are not his strong suits haha
BIG trouble. Time out for at LEAST 20 minutes x)
hah that last panel OMG too funny! sooo funny well done Serpenty!
LOL thanks Centy! Glad it gave a good chuckle! :D
Start talking boy. NOW. :)
So HYPE for the eventual meeting.
Prediction: Slap, then kiss...
And that last panel made me chuckle. XD
Hahaha that is a good prediction-- it's not like Key probably doesn't deserve be be slapped! LOL
And GOOD! I hoped it would make people do that haha
Ha ha ha!
Wow Hizruk! Such poise! X'D
Poor Gwynn...
Ah ha ha! Yeah...leaving that note was probably not the best approach he could have taken...
(That remodelled site looks fantastic BTW! )
Hizruk is the very definition of poise X"D
Lol yes some people are againsst the note.............. but I think it was a good little tool to start gearing her mind for what's coming. YOU KNOW! Instead of hitting her with EVERYTHING all at once :3
Oh and thank you! It took FOREVER but I feel like it was worth the effort! <3
Hizruk-baby-bear, I love you, you great big goofball XD (seriously, that second-last panel is classic LOL)
Could you have been any more vague, Keymen, with your note to Gwynn? -v- for all we know it's an advertising campaign for the newest hotel by the beach! Though I'm surprised she didn't recognise his handwriting or anything? Though maybe that's because he never had to write her before XD;;;
Seriously though, I'm looking forward to how this is all going to pan out, because once Gwynn starts asking questions about where Hizruk got those meds and treatment instructions, she's going to get an idea of who might be behind that note...
Lolol Thank you RUfi!! Hizruk-baby-bear needs the love...cuz now even Momma-Bear is mad at him (
LOL that's true! Hahaha you know what's funny? Originally I wanted another one of my lil' montage things to illustrate how she did recognize that handwriting from other love notes he'd sneak in her bags and such when they were young...then i was like "Naaah ain't nobody got time for that" X"D...DARNIT! Haha buut she did think about him instantly at least! It did it's part :3. I think she is somewhat more prepared than she would have been! :D
Don't spill your medicine Hizruk! Better spill the beans about the doctor that gave it to you :D
haha TOO LATE he already did!
He better get useful with the info, yes X"D
Gywnn's going to put two and two together here real quick I think with the note and Hizruk's medicine instructions.
You may be on to somethin! :D
REALLY, Keymen??? That's...that's kind of an asshole note. Like do you know how that messes with a woman's mind???? T___T
haha well at least Gwynn didn't walk in on him doing something else >.> But maybe his explanation of a blonde haired, blue eyed medic helping him will reunite them :D
LOL! Keymen takin' heat for the move with the note! Now what's a man supposed to say when he doesn't just want to be all "this is keymen. Hi, I'm alive" XDDD. HEY it got her thinkin' about him at least ;D
LOL omg--- Hizruk is at least one teenage boy we don't have to worry too much about walking in on X"D. BUT indeed he's gonna help Gwynn get to the right place! ;D
"Let's face it--this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing."
LololOlol! Well with what he's been up to the last couple of days it could be a lot worse!
Leave it to me to be late to the party! is there any pizza left?
Those last 2 panels are priceless. Gotta feal sorry for Hizzy, he didn't do anything wrong! (well, this time at least).
Now Gwynn is gonna find out about Keyman in a way that Keyman REALLY didn't want... LOL, serves him right for tryin to be too smooth!
Hay man, the party doesn't start til you get here! Hahahaha *finally brings out the pizza*
LOL Hizruk... has done SO MANY wrong things up to this point he deserves every bit of this!
There is lots of FAIL happening around these parts! XD
Hahahaha, dang! Hizruk causes instant distraction.:'D
Oh oh oh but this'll lead them together surely!!;^;
Haha he is good at doing that!
YES it will! :D
Keymen, I realize you were under pressure and all, but BAD IDEA. A vague note about a deeply personal detail is not going to put anyone's mind at ease! Let alone from a supposed dead guy. And sunsets were something she did with Keymen. OH. That page back in chapter three (Missing you) is now a lot more painful.
Pff, Hizruk. As much as I'm sure HE dosen't think this, it's definitely a good think Gwynn's going to take over. "Good enough" does not make for reassuring medical dialouge. That or Keymen gave him sugarpills to minimize the damage. Speaking of which, looks like he did a good job on Hizruk's shoulder, even if the sheer number of stiches is alarming. Most I've ever needed is seven stiches -- this looks like 700! I also wonder whether Hizruk's inexplicable toughness made the stiching harder. If his bones are stronger, then maybe his skin is too? Maybe not, if the rest of his scars are any indicator..
And since I wasn't around last week, continuing best of luck with your grandmother! I really hope it works out for you!
I'm so impressed that you recalled that page from SOOO long ago! I didn't even havta link it! <3 you da best
LOL it's true.... she may be mad but she will know how to take care of him WAAAAAY more than he knows how to take care of himself X"D. what a little rascal! Okay not so littl but you get me! OHHhh very cool observation! Actually I can answer it too! Keymen had a HECK of a time trying to stitch up his wounds...because yes, just like his bones, his skin is harder to damage too (that goes to show that all the scars he does have were very serious injuries--he WOULD have a lot more!). Haha once we can get Keymen and Hiz hanging out a bit more we can learn some more facts about his physical traits :3 (Key's so good at getting us answers! Well..about OTHER people anyway XD)
Aw thank you so much! I am finally getting in the groove of things I think!
Ooh, Hizruk, watch it. Momma looks pretty angry.
Hahahaha, she is! He BETTER watch it X"D
Well in retrospect there are worse things Gwynn could have walked in on, Hizruk...
Haha! This is true! At least with him we don't havta worry about some of those things any time soon X"DDD
Oh man, I hope Gwynn reads those doctor notes and finds the truth in 0.3 seconds flat! Then she can run right to the sunset spot! Let Hizruk clean up the mess on his own!
Hahaha somethin' like that! :D
Thanks to Hizruk for getting Gwynn to the right place! Lolol
Very smooth, Hizruk. T_T
Ugh, I cannot wait for this reuniooooooon, Serpyyyyy O:
I am so happy to hear that Roux! It's ALMOST HERE! X"DDD
Hizruk is always Mr. Smooth x"D
OMG love it. XD Gwynn has some lovely expressions on this page. :D
I missed seeing your face around these parts! <333
WELCOME BACK! And THANKS SO MUCH! :D
Now, Keymen, did you REALLY think that would help?
Then again, the only thing that would really help this situation is a time travel machine so you can go back in time and actually, oh, I don't know, let her know you're ALIVE. That woulda made this whole thing so much easier on both of you, yeesh. But noooooo.
In any event, what's done is done, and now Hizruk gets to fill in the last of the clues for Gwynn so she can go push Keymen off the nearest cliff because geez, he deserves it. It really, really hurts to see all these bittersweet moments; the sooner it gets resolved, the better. Then I can stop trying not to die of pain every time it's brought up. As can the characters themselves, for that matter.
Hizruk. HIZRUK. YOU LOVEABLE BALL OF MISBEHAVING GOOF. I LOVE YOUR CLUMSY FACE. Ah, it's been so long since we've seen Gwynn scolding Hizruk for doing stupid things. I've missed it~
And no, Hizruk, when it comes to medicine 'close enough' could actually potentially KILL you. So uh. Maybe don't do that. And he just broke every single thing Keymen gave him. *facedesk* He's gonna need replacements... but it was funny, so I'll let it slide~ XD
Now! Art!
It's really fantastic to see a Gwynn centric pace like this. We haven't had one in a long time, and certainly not since your art style settled into what it is now. The second line of panels is probably my favorite on a 'oh god why my HEART' level because you've got her emotions just so perfectly portrayed there. The first line is just... nnnnnnnng..... ow. Lots and lots of ow, I don't wanna talk about it, stupid flashbacks. D:
But a very well drawn flashback, so there's that. :]
Line three of panels sees Gwynn with some better emotions, which is nice. I'm loving the range of faces she's got there. And of course, in the last panel, her 'I'm gonna KILL you' face, which is my favorite. :D Yesssss~
On a final Gwynn note, I love how drastically you've changed her body between pre-and-post Hizruk. Childbirth changes the body, some of those changes are very much permanent, and I like how you've shown that with Gwynn.
And finally, Hizruk himself. You've done a splendid job on each one of his dumb panels with what looks like a very, very painful wound - no shoulder slaps for Hizruk for a while, huh? - and Hizruk toppling over is, quite frankly, comedy GOLD. Still, my personal favorite is his second panel, because the look on his face is absolutely PRICELESS.
It made me laugh so hard when I saw it the first time and it still makes me grin. :]
Thank you for ending this page on a humorous note; I think we all needed the break.
LOL it's complicated, Blue! Hahahaha I think maybe i'm the ONLY one who's not pissed off at Keymen for how he's handling this hahahahaha
It's gonna be a huge relief for LOTS of people when they finally get this reunion over with--- for me, for THEM, for all the readers X"D...
But hey... until that happens...at least we get to shake our heads humorously at Hizruk and all his fail X"D. If there are two things he's good at right now it's screwing things up and making people mad at him X"D. Even the person he saved hates his guts! Poor dumb, simple Hizzy X"D.
Hahahaha it's cool that you noticed the changes in Gwynn. Definitely her body has matured since her younger days frolicking around with Keymen! Hahaha I notice it while I'm drawing it but it's cool when other people notice it too! Leave it to you to noice :P
HAHAHA I'm so glad that that Hizruk panel had it's desired effect! I had quite a lot of fun thinking of it and drawing it LOL
Thank you so much! <33
Hate to see Gwynn have her heart tugged at like that. Why doesn't Keyman just finally reveal himself to her. It'll be intense, but it will be the right thing. Eh, eventually they'll be with each other again (right?) so no worries. It's wonderful build up.
Thanks gotta hurt, Hizruk. Lol. Worse than the bite!
Wonderful comic! Keep up the great work, Serpy.
Haha Keymen isn't scared of much but... this confrontation seems to have him petrified!
Soon we won't have to struggle with this frustration any more!
Thank you so much, man! <3

Nicki Minaj's new record Queen could quite possibly top the charts at No. 1 next week.
Nicki Minaj's new record Queen could quite possibly top the charts at No. 1 next week.
[adinserter block="1″]
I'll keep it real with you – I expected the rap queen's latest album to be a mess. The rollout seemed confusing and sloppy, and I thought that'd reflect in the new tunes, but I will eat my mf words because Queen is on point. Nicki's song writing skills are immensely stronger than any previous record, and the production is fresh. Current favs are "Nip Tuck," "Good Form" and "Hard White."
[adinserter block="2″]
Did Nicki convince the rest of y'all? According to a new report from Hits Daily Double, she might've. Their early estimate predicts Queen will move 135-150k in sales plus streaming. Impressive in 2018, but it's not clear if she'll ****** the No. 1. Travis Scott's Astroworld and Drake's Scorpion continue to dominate the stream waves.
[adinserter block="3″]
The older I get, the less I care about ~ZOMG THE CHARTS.~ Queen is her best work to-date and that speaks much more to the Barbz than a chart position.

Over the past year, the third grader I watch has been sent home with a "bingo" sheet of activities she has to do for homework all related to math. She absolutely hates it because her big brothers have "real" homework with worksheets and such to do. Truthfully, I think the bingo sheet is awesome for third graders; they get to choose how they want to do their homework and it feels more like "play" than learning. Best of all, as I've seen when working with this girl we will call "M", is that she is entirely creative and imaginative when it comes to completing the homework. It's less about following the rules to a T and more about doing what works for her.
I won't go into what the bingo card entails, because 1) I don't have it with me and 2) the concepts are pretty simple – addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Normally, when I work with M to complete these tasks, we can do them the easy, boring way – following the directions exactly like her teacher assigned – OR we can be imaginative and do them in a more complicated, thoughtful, creative way – which is how I prefer to do it. :)
While I can see how worksheets can be a simple, easy way to reinforce ideas learned in school, when working with M and other children, I've often found that fun games and real life actives are more successful and beneficial for children. The following are just some of the alternative ways I practice math skills with the children I watch:
1. Chutes and Ladders
Originally, Chutes and Ladders was a game intended for preschoolers to teach addition (or perhaps moreso: counting). The board game is comprised of a grid of squares listing numbers 1-100, going back and forth zig zagging across the board from left to right (then right to left), and from the bottom to the top. You spin the spinner receiving a number from 1-6 and move up the board however many spaces you spin. As you move across and up the board, however, you may find yourself landing on a ladder or chute (AKA slide). If you land on the ladder, you advance further up the board; if you land on a chute, you have to slide back down the board.
When M and I play, we change up the rules completely. One minute we are going up chutes an down ladders; the next we are starting at 100 and working our way back to 1. Oh - and the most important difference is that we use Star Wars figurines (very important!) and dice instead of a spinner. As we move up and down the board, I have M add/subtract numbers in her head before she makes a move. i.e. If she throws a 2 and a 3, she must add 5, and, for example, subtract from 100 before she moves her figurine to square #95. Sometimes it's super easy – we only change one rule, for instance. Other times, it can be quite complicated as you think through all of the changes you have made to the rules. One of the things I love about this method is that it gives new life to an old game and reinforces what kids are learning in school. The game becomes more interesting and fun to play then perhaps it would be otherwise.
2. Darts
In this game, the goal is to reach a specific number faster than the person you are playing against (basically, just like normal darts except with multiple turns). M came up with this game on her own, and I've found it to be a fantastic way for me to practice aim. The game moves along really fast, and even M's brothers are more than happy to practice "math skills" with her. :) As you play different rounds, it can be fun to change up the numbers on the dart board so that they are more difficult to add/subtract/multiply/divide. You can start with a goal number of reaching -say, for example- 1000 or you could work backwards from that number and try to reach 0. You can even make it more difficult for the player by indicating they can only be in a certain area of the room … or they have to throw the dart while facing backwards. No matter how you play, the kids are practicing essential math skills in a creative and interesting way.
3. Monopoly
I haven't played this for educational purposes with the kids I watch, but I still feel that it is a fantastic game to teach numbers, counting, and finance. You do have to be careful, though, because if a child isn't old enough yet, they can get bored pretty quickly. When I play with M and her brothers, M always wants to be the banker. While I know this is beneficial for her in learning to count and deal with money, about halfway through every game I want to inwardly scream at how long it takes her to deal the money. And all of the corrections that must be made! Nevertheless, playing games like this as well as practicing real life situations by taking children to stores and giving them a certain amount to spend is a really practical and educational way for children to learn about finances, handling their money, and counting it. It can be a bit bland and boring seeing the numbers printed in a word problem at school.
(Another idea I've seen used successfully is giving fake money as rewards and payment for chores that can be turned in for treats.)
4. Alton Brown, Cooking, Fractions
Breaking away from games altogether, Justin went a different route when showing another group of children I've babysat for about fractions. These kids were interested in making bread. They had seen it done in a bread maker, but to make it with their bare hands? It was a really fun experiment to do while the parents were away. For one, the kids didn't want to get their hands dirty when touching the gooey dough! Secondly, they had a ton of questions that only Alton Brown sock puppets could help them with. (And funnily enough, even the 3 year old was intrigued by the cooking show sock puppets!) Finally, I consider food to be a fantastic opportunity to talk about fractions. How much of a cup do you need? If you want to split a loaf of bread three ways, how much does each kid get? Etc… Etc… Now I can't guarantee that every child will take a personal interest in learning math skills this way, but it is definitely a fantastic, fun, edible alternative to intangible problem-solving worksheets.
5. BlackJack
I have to admit that before watching M and her brothers I knew very little about poker and most other card games. One week while their mom was out of town, their dad had to help M with her math homework. Apparently he got bored with the math games quickly too, so he settles on teaching his children BlackJack. With coins, no less! All of a sudden, I found myself babysitting for little gamblers! ;) It was fun, though. The kids taught me BlackJack which is where the dealer has two cards and deals each of the players two cards apiece. You turn your cards over so that the table can see them: If the numbers total over 21, you are out. If the numbers added together equal 21, you can't ask for more cards. And if the numbers total less than 21, you can ask for more cards until you reach 21 or go over. The person who is closest to 21 (or exactly on 21) wins. I have to admit it was fun for a little while, especially when you included betting, but after a while, it too lost it's charm. Perhaps there is a more interesting way to play this with kids? Or maybe I don't know all of the rules? Either way, this can be a fun way to practice math skills.
If you have kids, do you use any unique and alternative ways to reinforce math skills at home? If you don't have kids, what were some of your favorite games to play as a child? Did you mix any up and change the rules?

Lock the value while scrolling!!!!
hilliamonk last edited by hilliamonk
Minor style points, but would it be possible to lock the far left value when veiwing the detailed weather for a location? For example, when I'm veiwing a metogram, and I scroll over a day or two, the value of what height the clouds are disappears. Similar to excel, it should be simple to lock the far left cells as you scroll to continue to see what the rows mean. Thanks!

Goa Beachlife
Goa - A myth, A place, A hideout. Known for free life, hippies and hangout in hammocks for weeks. Today Goa is still THE beach destination in India, but it is a complex reality of yoga retreats, beach boys, low-key guesthouses, delicate boutique places, and India middleclass mainstream. Yes, Goa was popular for ages and now revitalize amongst urban Indians too.
Goa is not an adventure destination. It's a beach place, a laid back timeout where travellers go to relax or get a break from ever boiling, lively persistent India around.
And lets be honest. Goa beaches are not at level with secluded aquamarine Thai beaches. But what the beach lacks in fine sand, and crystal clear water, it then has in ambience, feel and the fact, that when you are in India, already, there is no reason to leave for South East Asia for beach life. As such Goa is still a worthy break.
Goa is not one beach. It is quite a big province, smaller than Portugal for comparison, but still many hundred kilometers from north to south. The most famous beach places are Calangute, Baga and Anjuna in north and Colva and Palolem in the south. Most people arrive to Goa, in the central Goa with either train, flight or bus. To make the approach easy we recommend an arrival package in central Goa, before slipping north or south. Go Beyond can help you with accommodation, A yoga retreat, and transportation around and beyond.


text: Q. I believe that H M Revenue and Customs (HMRC) have recently launched the trial of a new process of enquires called the Single Compliance Process (SCP). When did the trials start, what is the aim and how will they be implemented? A. One of HMRC's top priorities as part of the Spending Review is to relieve the compliance burden on businesses and their agents and increase the efficiency of their activities. HMRC say they want to bring together what they know and believe works well from Self Assessment Enquiries ('Full' and 'Aspect'), Employer Compliance and Assurance work. HMRC are currently looking at these components to devise improvements in their approach to the enquiry process, which they have called the SCP and will be on trial between June and December 2011 when HMRC aim to review 1100 to 1200 businesses in the following 12 pre selected areas including Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, Newcastle, York and Warrington. An information sheet will be sent to both the business and their authorised agent of any selected business with the opening documentation, to explain that the enquiry is part of the HMRC trial of the SCP. In the trials HMRC will use the new process for formal Full and Aspect enquiries into SME's. The trials will also include assurance work carried out typically for VAT and Employer Compliance. It will exclude pre return compliance checks. The new process seeks to align their approach and to minimise the impact on the business by earlier contact and resolution and working multiple tax risks where necessary. It should not, for example, slow down the current process of conducting VAT visits nor add steps to that process. The SCP will cater for both single tax and cross-tax enquiries. HMRC envisage the SCP as a single framework within which the majority of future SME business enquiry work will be undertaken. Their approach will use the five process stages which are common to most enquiries. Using this design framework they have proposed four different approaches, with varying amounts of time spent on each case, which they call intensity. The SCP allows for the enquiry to be driven by the risks or behaviours identified and includes building on the principles of Openness and Early Dialogue (OED) by informing the taxpayer and the agent at the first opportunity of the particular risks to be addressed to give time savings and clarity for both parties about the risks being addressed. HMRC hope to develop a relationship with the business and adviser for mutual understanding of the benefits of particular approaches and how these maintain the pace or speed up the process. In addition HMRC hope to achieve collaboration between HMRC businesses and agents at every stage in the enquiry and communicating any findings directly so that there should be "no surprises". Swifter record reviews carried out 'on site' and sample record reviews as opposed to a full review when appropriate and only seeking the facts and evidence to address the particular risks identified and not using the enquiry to undertake a general "fishing expedition", meaning that discussions are more focussed. By focussing on the risks or behaviours identified and streamlining the process within a consistent framework, HMRC believe that the SCP will reduce business burden by reducing the time taken to complete enquiries, focus the intensity of the enquiry so that it is proportionate to the risks identified and provide a flexible framework for their staff and business in which joint expectations are clear. The SCP is designed to concentrate solely on the risks or behaviours identified for the enquiry, using four different levels of intensity proportionate to those risks. The levels and the projected time required by HMRC to perform its review will include a first level which will be to carry out an enquiry where there is no need for a face to face meeting, for example by correspondence, and with minimum inconvenience. (Maximum time 1.5 days) A second level will adopt a simplified and faster route for those cases where a lower intensity face to face intervention approach is required (maximum time 2 days), whilst the third level will address cases requiring a greater amount of time because the depth and breadth of the enquiry is more involved (maximum time 4 days). Finally the fourth level will tackle the most demanding cases such as those indicating tax evasion characteristics or those highly complex in nature (maximum time 8 days) At present we have little feed back from any business who has been involved in this trial so we will have to wait and see how the trial proceeds and what real effects it has to the long term development of tax enquiries and compliance. If you are identified for one of these "SCP Trials" and need any further assistance then our Tax Consultants are available to deal with your queries on 01455 852555.

In order to successfully treat this very common skin condition, though having a good skin is still a distant dream for many. When you choose skin care products, keep in mind believed, the cause of acne, though they may aggravate the problem. Watch your skin for a week or so and you'll know and comprehensively evaluated and the confirmed in clinical studies. Also, it is very important to check if the skin care routine for a month, then your hair routine, that's fine. The positive side of the situation is that there are constant and ever evolving advances it's recommended that you exfoliate your skin at least once a week.
If that means just working on establishing your skin maintenance from toxins and other chemicals that could cause adverse reactions in your skin. These types of ingredients are only needed to fill up makeup, as foundations and blushers usually come off easily with most regular cleansers. http://khloediazbest.helphealfran.org/2016/09/19/using-your-fingers-or-a-soft-cloth-gently-apply-cleanser-in-small-circles-over-your-face-working-from-your-nose-to-your-hairlineApplying exfoliants right before showering is a good idea, because you can skin — from exposure to pollutants, sunlight, ultra violet rays, etc. As a facial skin care technique, exfoliation helps in removing the dead skin sunscreen to your face, throat, as well as all body skin exposed to the sun. The first part of the process is providing your skin with antioxidants and vegetables is also essential for maintaining a healthy skin.

.NET Internals and Native Compiling
by, May 25th, 2008 at 10:50 (14585 Views)
Strictly speaking it means converting the MSIL code of a .NET assembly to native machine code and then removing the MSIL code from that assembly, making it impossible to decompile it in a straightforward way. The only existing tool to native compile .NET assemblies is the Salamander.NET linker which relies on native images to do its job. The "native images" (which in this article I called "Native Framework Deployment") technique is quite distant from .NET internals: one doesn't need a good knowledge of .NET internals to implement it. But, as the topic is, I might say, quite popular, I'm going to show to the reader how to write his Native Framework Deployment tool if he wishes to. However, the article will go further than that by introducing Native Injection, which means nothing else than taking the JIT's place. Even though this is not useful for commercial protections (or whatever), it's a good way to play with JIT internals. I'm also going to introduce Native Decompiling, which is the result of an understanding of .NET internals. I'm also trying to address another topic: .NET Virtual Machine Protections.
I hope you'll enjoy this.
P.S. As always, if you notice typos, please report them.

Home Blog Don't be a Stranger
The importance of follow-up for selling virtual tours:
Making new contacts and leads for your virtual tour business is a great idea, but how often are you following up with them? If you're in the habit of abandoning leads the first time they decline a virtual tour, you're missing out on a huge source of potential income—because surprisingly few sales are made with the first contact.
According to the National Sales Executive Association and the Association of Professional Salesman:• 2 percent of sales are closed at first contact• 3 percent are made with second contact• 5 percent happen on third contact• 10 percent are made with fourth contact• The remaining 80 percent happen from the fifth to twelfth contact
Following up with your potential virtual tour customers—even just once—can increase your virtual tour sales noticeably. Keep at it, and you'll see a dramatic boost in sales.
Why follow-up works:The secret to the success of following up is pretty simple: you're building relationships and awareness. When you follow up with people, even if they haven't purchased a virtual tour from you, it tells them that you have an interest in what they're doing, and that you want to see them succeed. They'll also have the opportunity to learn more about how a virtual tour can benefit their business.Awareness is another byproduct of following up. The process helps to remind them that virtual tours exist—and the next time they need to work on their marketing strategies, they'll be more likely to consider your services.
How to follow up—and how not to:Many salespeople make the mistake of following up with a simple acknowledgment and a vague reminder that their product or service exists. It's usually along the lines of, "It was great talking to you at Networking Event. If you ever need a Widget, be sure to think of me." This tactic is supposed to avoid hard selling to prospects, but all it really does is make you forgettable.
How should you follow up with a lead? First, make it personal. Offer a specific piece of information from your initial contact, whether it was online or in person, that shows you were paying attention and found something engaging about the prospect's business. Second, offer them something of value. Instead of simply mentioning that you have virtual tours available, consider a first-time discount for real estate professionals, or a free bonus for clients with businesses who will only need one virtual tour.
Most importantly, make sure to follow up more than once with every prospect, and watch your virtual tour sales grow!

2015 Gold Cup
DaMarcus Beasley Pulls a Brett Favre and 'Unretires'
June 13, 2015
United States men's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann had reached out to the 33-year-old Fort Wayne, Ind., native. Klinsmann left a message asking if Beasley would consider coming out of international retirement and play in this summer's Gold Cup.
Beasley returned Klinsmann's call and the two discussed the matter. After that, Beasley spoke with his family and members of the Dynamo coaching staff. He didn't mention these discussions to any other players and made a point of keeping the issue very quiet. So when his name was included on the 35-player preliminary Gold Cup roster that was unveiled on Wednesday, it caught almost everybody by surprise.
"Klinsmann called me last week and he asked me my thoughts about coming back to the team," Beasley told reporters in Houston. "It took a little bit of time for me to think about it and see what I wanted to do. He gave me that time. He said, 'It would be great to have you back.'"
Beasley said he was "flattered" by the outreach, adding that the thought of playing with the national team was something he was not even considering until Klinsmann approached him. The two had not spoken since November when Beasley informed the German-born coach that he was retiring from the national team after a 2-1 loss against Colombia in London.
Klinsmann, a persuasive recruiter of dual-nationals, eventually convinced Beasley that he should return to the national fold.
"I still feel fit. I still feel fine," Beasley said. "I still feel that I can help the team if I do get called. What kid—and I still feel that I am a kid—is going to turn down another chance to play national team games? It is going to be great to be back with the boys and see those guys again—and obviously the new group coming in.
"If Jurgen gives me the go-ahead, I am more than happy to bring myself to the team."
Klinsmann is going to give Beasley some added flexibility in his return. For the upcoming Gold Cup, Beasley might join the team for the start of the tournament, or he might join the team should it qualify for the knockout stages. (Gold Cup teams that advance to the knockout rounds are permitted to make six changes to the roster). That decision will be made in the upcoming weeks as the two continue to discuss the matter.
"It's not like it's another club," Beasley said. "This is playing for your country and playing for something special. This is another Gold Cup and a chance for us to go to the Confederations Cup."
Beasley hinted that discussions with Klinsmann might have included talk beyond the Gold Cup but for now he is thinking strictly in the short-term regarding his international play.
"Who knows what is going to happen after that? He asked me about the Gold Cup and we'll go from there," Beasley said. "We'll see. Hopefully it goes well and we win. After that, I'm sure I will speak to Jurgen again and we'll go from there. I haven't made any final decision yet if I am going to keep going after that."
With three consecutive wins against quality opponents—Mexico, the Netherlands, and Germany—he U.S. men are on a decided upswing. Klinsmann has been introducing younger players into the squad and many of them have delivered with quality performances.
That said, there still appears to be a need for Beasley on the national team. The left back position remains up for grabs as Brek Shea and Greg Garza have played well at times but have not seized the starting job as of yet.
Throughout most of his career Beasley played on the left wing, another unsettled position for the U.S. senior team. If he does return, Beasley would bring a welcome dose of speed to a team that is lacking in that area, as well as the experience that comes with 127 caps and four World Cups.
"If I didn't feel like I could still play or help the team, I wouldn't," Beasley said. "I am not going to be one of those players that plays until he is 40 but should have retired when he was 35. That's not me."
"I made my decision and I feel good about it," he added. "If he needs me, I am available. It was cool to see my name up there again in the national team pool.
"I am somewhat officially out of retirement."

The Most Followed Accounts on Twitter
By Joshua BoydSep 21
Combining high-quality mobile survey technology, a robust polling methodology, and expert data analysis,
our bulletins will be essential reading to get the pulse of the nation
Published June 1st 2015
As the capabilities of social listening technologies advance and the volume of social data grows, the opportunity for inventive social media research has arisen.
The days of total mentions and hashtag impressions analysis are dated. With intelligent platforms, like Brandwatch Analytics, we can start to explore unique social nuances.
In our Twitter Happiness report, we began using Twitter and Facebook to identify how happy or sad Americans were:
In our latest report, we've taken this more inventive social research one step further.
Fast food. More specifically, pizza. Pretty much everyone's favorite guilty pleasure.
A not-so-rare treat that causes many of us to tell the world how happy we are with our cheesy, gooey, doughy purchases.
While measuring the raw volume of mentions about fast food has value, uncovering desire or intent in those mentions helps answer specific questions.
This novel breakdown of US states depicts intent to purchase mentions for Domino's pizza toppings.
Which states prefer to load their bases with bacon? Which prefer peppers? And which like to pile their pizzas with pepperoni?
By only analyzing conversation that contained intent – e.g. 'I want' or 'I need' – the data more accurately reflects pizza preferences rather than general interest.
Pepperoni led conversation in the majority of states, while Hawaii are deserving of their pizza name sake (the Hawaiian) with pineapple being the state's topping of choice.
Breaking down the same mentions by gender reveals that beef toppings are preferred by men, while women post more about chicken on their pizza bases.
Socially intelligent brands can start to use research of this sort to localize promotional activities to match the real-time preferences of their audience.
But just how granular can brands get?
Geotagged Tweets allow marketers to accurately locate an author's location. But why do they need it? And what could they do with such information?
To explore this scenario, we've taken the same intent to purchase Domino's pizza data, but sliced it down to look at a Friday evening in May.
We've then zoomed in to the New York city region and overlaid the mentions with the locations of physical Domino's stores.
A smart Domino's marketer could spend an evening responding to these geotagged Tweets with promotional details to those who seem unsure whether or not they'll purchase, or with website details to those showing intent.
But crucially, these responses can be tailored to the location.
Information about local promotions, delivery speed to the pizza-lover's location and local store contact details can all be shared to help entice and push them closer to purchase.
Almost all brands neglect conversation like this, and very few even realize quite how granular they can get with social.
However, with customers increasingly communicating on social during their purchase cycle, it's crucial brands pay attention.
If they don't, they'll see competitors jumping on these Tweets with offers for rival products. Nothing is stopping Papa John's or Pizza Hut jumping on the Domino's intent to purchase mentions and stealing those orders for themselves.
With ever connected social customers, the brand who rules online will take a considerable slice of the pizza-pie.

Many people mistakenly believe that blocked arteries are a problem for older people. But this can happen in your 20s. This is why many people who are facing this problem do not know what is happening to them and do not respond until it is too late. Therefore, it is important to know the signs that indicate blocked arteries in order to avoid a more serious problem.
Pain in the leaves, hips or thighs
Leg pain during activities such as hiking can be a sign of blocked arteries. This means that your limbs are not getting enough blood. Symptoms can include pain and cramping in the legs or arms. The location of the pain depends on where the blockage or the narrowed artery is.
Chest pain
Chest pain is the result of decreased blood flow to the heart. You may feel it tightening, tensing, pressing or burning. People usually don't feel this symptom when they are resting because it is activated during physical activity or emotional overload. Sometimes blockages can be so bad that pain can signal to the person that they have a heart attack.
Temporary loss of vision on one side
The carotid arteries supply the eyes and brain with blood. If blocked, the result is a temporary loss of vision or blurred vision on the same side. A complete blockage can cause a stroke.
Pain in the lower back
Lower back pain is a serious sign that you must not ignore. When blood flow to this part of the body is reduced, the vertebrae become brittle. This leads to painful and painful nerves. Most often this is the first symptom of blocked arteries. According to one study, 10% of people in developed countries already have an increased risk of this occurrence by their 20s.
This symptom occurs when the coronary arteries are damaged. People feel it because the heart cannot pump enough blood. One study has shown that people often ignore breathing difficulties, but sometimes this is the only sign of serious coronary artery disease.
Cold feet and palms
Cold feet can be caused by narrowed arteries that reduce blood flow to the limbs. Slow healing of wounds and weak pulse in the feet are the same signs that you should not ignore. Symptoms can also be a sign of a widespread artery disease that can affect the brain or heart and cause a heart attack or stroke.
Fatigue and dizziness
Fatigue is a rare symptom of coronary artery disease, but it can occur. These symptoms occur as a result of reduced oxygen levels due to poor blood supply. These symptoms are more common in women.
What increases the risk of blockage of the arteries?
There are several things that can affect this phenomenon:
- An unhealthy blood cholesterol level. This means that you have high levels of bad and low levels of good cholesterol.
- High blood pressure. Blood pressure should not exceed 140/90 mmHg.
- Smoking. Smoking damages and narrows blood vessels raises cholesterol levels and raise blood pressure. In addition, it does not allow oxygen to reach all the tissues in the body.
- Overweight or obesity. A body mass index of between 25 and 29.9 means you are overweight. If your index is higher, it means you are obese.

Dr Brigitte Leucht
Senior Lecturer, Faculty Ethics Committee Chair
I have taught widely across European studies and history subjects at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in Austria (Vienna), Switzerland (IHEID, Geneva), Denmark (Copenhagen) and the UK (London School of Economics, University of Westminster, University of Oxford and Brunel University).
My networks are both international and interdisciplinary. My research on the market and legal dimensions of European integration requires the dialogue with political scientists, sociologists and lawyers. In 2018, I was a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History in Frankfurt. Previously, I have held a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Politics and IR at the University of Oxford (2009-11) and I was an Associate Professor in Economic History at the University of Copenhagen (2013-15).
Research Interests
The focus of my research is the European Union including its external relations, and transatlantic relations in particular. I am part of a group of historians who have successfully promoted methodological innovation to arrive at a less state-centric account of European integration, specifically through the engagement with trans- and supranational approaches from the social sciences.
Crucially, I am also contributing to the ongoing re-evaluation of the place of the EU and Europe in the world at this critical political juncture epitomized by the recent Euro and global financial crisis and the Brexit vote.
Internally, this includes in particular my work in the faculty-funded Transnational civil society project, where I am exploring European consumer policy and law. This research hypothesizes that the removal of trade barriers from the 1980s undermined crucial societal support for EU integration. The project's focus on 'consumer citizens' addresses the agenda of the democratic citizenship theme, articulated in the university's R&I strategy 2015-20.
Externally, I have been invited to participate in an oral history project on the former members of the Court of Justice of the EU (judges, advocates-general, référendaires, senior administrators) coordinated by the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History, together with the University of Copenhagen and the Archives of the EU in Florence (from 2018).
I have also been invited, for example, to join the scientific committee of the research group 'Dés-intégrations politiques européennes', funded by the French Association of Political Science (2017-19).
Finally, I am putting my years of experience in researching and teaching European integration history to use by co-authoring with Katja Seidel (University of Westminster) the textbook: Reinventing Europe: The History of the European Union from 1945 (under contract at Bloomsbury).

A transducer is only as good as the signal it initiates through a measurement system. Important design decisions affecting human lives and costly structures (e.g., automobiles, aircraft, and buildings) frequently depend on the analysis of these signals. To make intelligent decisions, it is critical to perform measurement uncertainty analysis on the signal. When using transducers where their operating conditions vary with time and/or location, the analysis can be performed only after several requirements have been fulfilled. First and foremost, the transducers, as well as the measurement systems they operate with, must have been designed using good practices. These include adequate low- and high-frequency response and data-sampling rates, appropriate anti-aliasing filter selection, and proper grounding and shielding. In addition to these requirements, performing data validation is necessary to establish that each transducer responds only to the environmental stimulus that it is intended to measure.
Placebos and Data Validation
For piezoelectric transducers, "placebo transducers" (IEST-RP-DTE011.1) enable data validation. The referenced IEST standard defines a placebo transducer as "identical to a 'live' unit in every parameter except for mechanical sensitivities." The placebo transducer should respond only to extraneous environmental factors. Ideally, its output would be zero. Any signal output other than zero indicates that the signals from the "live" transducers can be corrupted.
Some examples of test environments where validation should be performed include flight tests, highly hazardous testing (e.g., blast and munitions), and electrodynamic shaker testing. In the last example, in addition to acceleration, the shaker produces (as a minimum) temporally and spatially varying magnetic fields.
Transducers respond to their environment in every way they can. For example, accelerometer specifications include their response to thermal, acoustic, strain, and radiation stimuli, to name just a few. While accelerometers must have their response to acoustic pressure specified, pressure transducers must have their response to acceleration specified. Thus, one transducer's desirable response becomes another's undesirable response.
Transducer manufacturers try to minimize the effect of these undesirable responses in the design process, but they can never completely eliminate them. Undesirable responses can cause a change in transducer sensitivity or result in additive, spurious signals at the transducer's output attributable to thermoelectric, electromagnetic, triboelectric, and other self-generating noise phenomena. Because the test or instrumentation engineer has the best understanding of the test environment, he or she becomes responsible for validating the data. The transducer manufacturer can assist by supplying "placebo" transducers to support the validation process.
Figure 1. Quartz boule
Manufacturing Process
Consider how placebo transducers are manufactured. Figure 1 (page 28) shows a boule of quartz from which piezoelectric elements are cut to be used in the manufacture of force, pressure, and acceleration transducers. The boule's piezoelectric properties vary according to the direction of the cut, as illustrated by Equation 1. Note that the third equation in the set shows that there is one direction (Z axis) that produces no piezoelectric output. Cuts along this axis provide the quartz for placebo transducers.
Equation 1
Unlike piezoelectric transducers used to measure pressure and force, which almost exclusively use quartz, many accelerometers use ceramic-based materials for their sensing elements. In this application, the ceramics are produced by complex manufacturing processes. To behave in a piezoelectric manner, the ceramics must have a high poling voltage placed across their electrodes at a high temperature during the final stages of their manufacture (Figure 2). If the poling is intentionally skipped, the process produces an inert sensing element, which can be used in a placebo transducer. Neither the Z-cut quartz nor the unpoled ceramic placebo transducers can produce a piezoelectric output. However, they do respond in the same manner as a "live" transducer to the undesired environmental factors described previously.
Figure 2. Poling ceramics
Let's look at a couple of examples of successful implementations of placebo transducers. Figures 3A and 3B, respectively, show the response of a placebo and an adjacent live transducer on a building subjected to an explosive blast. Both accelerometers use integral electronics (IEPE or ICP). There is nothing about the highly complex signal shown in Figure 3B (from the live transducer) that imparts confidence in the data. However, the zero output from the placebo transducer in Figure 3A—even with its vertical scale expanded by a factor of 8 with respect to that of Figure 3B—builds confidence that the active, or live, transducer is properly responding to acceleration.
Figure 3a. Placebo transducer
Figure 3b. Live transducer
Figures 4A and 4B will further illustrate the value of integrating placebo transducers into a test. In this case, a weapons test was performed in which two sets of three live accelerometers and one placebo were assigned to individual telemetry transmitters. The data recorded during the test were noted to be anomalous because of non-zero outputs from both placebo transducers. An investigation was performed to determine the cause of the anomalous data. Figure 4 shows the results of the investigation.
Figure 4A. Transmitter 1; 239.4 MHz
In Figures 4A and 4B, the uppermost three records are from live accelerometers, and the bottom record in each is from a placebo accelerometer. The frequencies of each telemetry transmitterare shown only for record identification. During post-test analysis, the accelerometers on the 239.4 MHz transmitter were removed from the system, mounted to a metal plate, and struck with a hammer, with the results shown. The live accelerometers generated data, as did the placebo. In addition, signals were emitted from all the accelerometers (the live accelerometers and the placebo) on the 248.6 MHz channel, even though the accelerometers did not experience the hammer blow. A ground loop was found to be the culprit. Design corrections to the measurement system were made so that the test could be repeated and valid data subsequently recorded.
Figure 4B. Transmitter 2; 248.6 MHz
Although the previous examples focused on acceleration data, placebo transducers are equally useful in dynamic testing, irrespective of whether force, pressure, or acceleration measurements are required [1]. Please consider their routine use.

In Botswana, being gay is illegal, and the country has been hearing a landmark case to legalize it. But last Thursday, the High Court postponed their ruling on the case.
The current laws promote discrimination and make it hard for LGBT individuals to receive healthcare, according to Eyewitness News. Judge Abednico Tafa said the laws were put in place when society wasn't ready to accept homosexuality, but some say nothing has changed.
"The law should reflect on the values of society. As far as I know there haven't been any changes in society towards gay people," Sidney Pilane, lawyer for the state said, according to Reuters.
Judge Tafa said the decision will be postponed until June 11.

Local Associations for Friendship with Foreign Countries:
Local associations for Foreign Countries are important parts in the work of people-to-people diplomacy. They have been set up in all the provinces, autonomous regions, and the municipalities directly under the central government, after the CPAFFC established. As the deepening and increasing of reform and opening, local governments at all levels pay great attention to the work of nongovernmental communication with foreign countries. Local associations for Foreign Countries have become one of the main channels when local governments develop friendly communication and cooperation with foreign countries. Those district-level cities as well as county-level cities with better opening to the outside world, have become to establish Friendship Associations one after another. At present in China, there are almost 300 local friendship associations with foreign countries in the provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, as well as the cities and area which are above district-level.

As top women step aside, the notorious juggle is again in the spotlight
Three times in a week, departing women have highlighted the enduring conflict between work and motherhood for talented, mid-career women.
Chris Bath, of ABC Radio Sydney's Evenings presenter, left after three years, saying, "I need to find a job with hours more conducive to having my family recognise me"; Victorian MP Mary Wooldridge went after 13 years, naming "the impact on your family"; and a2 milk CEO Jayne Hrdlicka left after 17 months, saying the role clashed with "managing the health and wellness priorities of my family and me".
You could argue these women, and other heavy hitters who have stepped aside because they want to at least observe their kids' childhoods, are in a special category due to the extreme demands of their work.
Media and politics are notoriously time-greedy, as former politicians Kate Ellis and Kelly O'Dwyer, and the woman who had been widely expected to assume leadership of the federal Labor Party, Tanya Plibersek, would attest.
In some ways such heavy hitters are in an exceptionally hard spot (though, as the ABC's Annabel Crabb has noted, work/parenting tensions "do not seem to interfere unduly with the decisions of fathers") in many others they are dealing with the same issues as the next mother who wants to participate and provide, enjoy stimulating work and parent in a way they feel is a meaningful.
Despite policies that are pretty window dressing at large employers, the reality of 'the juggle' has, for many women, not grown any easier.
The words "when I thought about all the things that I would I miss, I just decided that it would make me quite miserable" (Kate Ellis), or "in composing photo books and looking at the special moments over the Christmas period I've seen how many I have missed and I know how many I will miss" (Kelly O'Dwyer), could have been spoken by many of us who have hit a fork in the road between treasured work and adored kids.
Despite a proliferation of policies that are pretty window dressing at large employers, the reality of "the juggle" has, for many women, not grown any easier. In many workplaces presenteeism may be discouraged officially but is still as rewarded as it ever was; and stigma around actually using flexibility options is as real as it ever was.
Mothers who take time to attend any of the million things schools now want you at often do so with hearts full of guilt and minds full of frustration that this is still primarily understood to be the mother's role.
As workforces, contract, part-time work, though an increasingly popular compromise for mothers according to fresh figures, often means being paid for three or four days but doing a full-time load.
And, much as workforce consultants would like us to believe it's increasingly fine for dads to work in a visibly more flexible way, workplaces in which men can really do that without consequence are still the cutting edge, not the norm.
When departing, or down-stepping high-achievers turn attention to the difficulties still being faced by the third generation of Australian mothers to enter work en masse, it gives us pause to reflect how far we have come – more women are reaching these heights – and how far we have to travel before working mothers are on a level playing field.

East Maui residents at odds over new Paia bypass proposal
Many prefer the use of old cane roads owned by A&B instead of the DOT's proposed route
The latest state Department of Transportation proposal for the new Paia bypass is leading some long-suffering East Maui residents to "take whatever you can get," while others are demanding officials study a longer, and likely costlier, route with limited impacts to residents.
"My opinion is simply that they just need to get something built," said Paia attorney David Spee, whose law office is in the heart of town, on Tuesday. "Take it if you can get it, don't wait for the perfect solution.
"Otherwise, another 20 years will go by."
The new route would start at Baldwin Beach Park on Hana Highway and move mauka and parallel to the highway. The bypass would continue on Poni Place until reaching Milepost 9, just past Hookipa Beach Park.
State transportation officials met with residents Thursday to review their latest proposal and answer questions. The majority in attendance disliked the solution and preferred the use of old cane roads owned by Alexander & Baldwin.
The residents' proposal would start from Kala Road, which is across Stable Road before Spreckelsville, and continue on Sunny Side Road, which turns into Paia Mill Road. The road crosses Baldwin Avenue right above Paia Mill and becomes Lower Hamakuapoko Road, which ends near Maliko Gulch.
The department and Federal Highway Administration plan to hold another public informational meeting from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Paia Community Center.
"To have a fast plan that's a bad plan doesn't look at the future," Haiku Community Association President Lucienne de Naie said. "Everyone in Haiku wants to see something happen, but this isn't going to happen if we don't get the route right. It felt like we were being held hostage — you take this or you get nothing."
Discussions over the Paia bypass began as early as 1968 when, de Naie recalled, giving her first presentation on traffic concerns through Paia town's chokepoint at the intersection of Hana Highway and Baldwin Avenue. State officials even acknowledged during Thursday's meeting that no community has waited longer for a road solution than Paia and Haiku, de Naie said.
In 1972, the state examined one of its first proposed roads that would have led to the destruction of 22 houses and six or seven businesses, de Naie said.
"They've wanted to do this lower route because it was cheap," she said. "I think it would've cost something like $2.5 million."
The newest route would bulldoze two houses and physically divide a neighborhood of about eight or 10 families, de Naie said. She added that the bypass starts in a flood zone that has seen Baldwin Beach Park close regularly because of high water.
"It's going to be a new Hana Highway that may carry even more traffic," she said. "If you put that right in the middle of an existing neighborhood, that's not good planning."
Spee said the issue of the bypass near residences has always existed and must be balanced with its cost and dire need in the community. He said he believes the new proposal would be rejected like those on a long list of other alternatives over the past 30 to 40 years.
"I've just watched so many things in Paia town, where the small minority will vocalize and it shuts it down," he said. "I feel like it'll happen again."
Recent proposed routes have ranged from $88 million to $111 million. The latest, albeit shorter, route is estimated at just $45.5 million.
The old cane road route appears to be about double the length of the state's proposed bypass. Spee also questioned the condition of the roads and how much it would cost to dig it up to make it into a highway.
"I think it's a matter of money," Spee said. "It's not that complicated. Everyone wants it to start closer to the airport. Yeah, it would be great if it started way up Hana Highway, but now you've tripled the cost. Everyone wants it done a certain way, but nobody looks at the cost and what's realistic."
Other issues surrounding the use of the cane roads are the presence of historic properties. The state identified 17 plantation-era sites that would jeopardize federal funding for any road through the locations.
De Naie questioned the state's archaeological study surrounding the old roads, as well as around the new proposal. She asked why the state could not possibly get an exemption as it did when it built the H-3 Freeway that went through historic properties on Oahu.
"If you found a route that was pretty good and already had a lot of public use so you wouldn't have to break a lot of new ground, it seems like you can get an exemption," she said, adding that the road appears to be about 15 to 18 feet wide. "That road was in pretty good condition. It was paved and went right to the mill. It's not like some weathered little thing."
The biggest issue for de Naie, however, is that the state has not studied the use of the old cane roads. She said she would like to see the county work with A&B to fix the road enough to be used temporarily — possibly for a few hours during rush hour on the weekdays.
"We'd really like them to consider a route and then we'll figure out how to get the money," she said. "It would be nice to use the Sunny Side route because portions are publicly owned so they don't have to go through lengthy negotiations."
Spee worried that rejecting the state's latest proposal may prolong relief for decades. He said traffic continues to get worse leaving Haiku and regularly backs up to Mama's Fish House in Kuau.
"The people who want it have to come forward because the people who say 'no' are the only people who show up to the meetings," he said. "It's a perversion of smart growth. The loudest voice is the direction the county seems to take a lot of times."

Actually, these senior citizen health concerns could be both on a real and mental level, and senior mental wellness alternatives are far more challenging, and can take a cost on the peace and happiness of one other members of the family residing in the exact same house. Dealing with senior health problems on one's possess is hard, and even though it is really a unpleasant conclusion sometimes, one has to know the fact that it requires specialized teaching and regular attention to cope with the senior health issues ably, and that just an experienced caretaker in one of the home care agencies jobs could qualify for the same.
One of the very most emotionally and physically challenging jobs is employed by a house care organization and looking after aged and ill patients inside their homes. Because those patients and their families rely on those suppliers a good deal, it is important to keep balanced, equally human body and soul. When someone has a tense job and performs extended hours, burnout is just a common danger. When that occurs, several seek the help of counselors or health practitioners to greatly help them through the situation.
The key to overcoming burnout is to simply stage from the condition and take a consider it from the outside in. Herein I'll evaluation some of the advised steps for overcoming burnout. Frequently, the initial bit of assistance given in the case of a burnout is: never take work house with you. Whenever probable, keep it at the office. But what are the results when someone operates maybe not with paperwork and numbers, but with people?
The very first thing a home attention organization employee should recall is to prevent the routine of fear and unnecessary concern. Even though concern and concern is a typical and crucial element of these kinds of Support worker jobs Plymouth, fretting about patients will simply cause an unhealthy psychological state. Since most of the patients have decreased psychological capacity themselves, an anxious medical care company may intensify the situation.
Because looking after sick or aged patients requires raising, bathing, and at times, workouts, sustaining great bodily exercise is vital for a house care organization worker. Additionally, finding enough workout, consuming a healthy and healthy diet, and getting enough rest also assure a much better perspective and intellectual outlook. A properly relaxed, balanced and happy home care company is much better ready to deal with curves and crises.
The number of decades that the caretaker has worked for in this area is very important to consideration, there are lots of house care agencies careers which are listed in papers, publications and also on on line sites for dealing with senior citizen health problems, you ought to filter these agencies which have a lesser function knowledge than three years, while the caretakers from these agencies are less probably be experienced enough to cope with senior health issues like diabetes, Alzheimer, dementia, urinary incontinence, immobility because of arthritis, heart failure, osteoporosis, etc.
Choosing a caretaker or nurse from a licensed organization would have been a clever move since it may promise the fact the home attention agencies careers stick to the rigid recommendations mentioned by the certification company. The caretaker from the various home attention agencies jobs should really be competed in dealing with senior intellectual health answers in a peaceful and expert manner.Read More
