More great news about the Stitching Our Stories Project! The short films from last year's participants will be screened at the Luang Prabang Film Festival. The film, which was edited by local Hmong film students, will be shown at 11:00 AM at the LPFF Visitor Center from 7 – 10 December. On Wednesday, 11 December, there will be a special presentation by the SoS filmmakers, subjects, and film editors at the Luang Prabang Film Festival. The film assembles four documentary shorts shot by the projects' filmmakers Bao Song, Pasong Lee, Sia Yao, and Ma Ying. These examine the intricate artistry of Hmong batik and embroidery and the complex and often challenging roles of the medicine women and shamans who care for the bodies and spirits of their communities. More details on that event here.
The Stitching Our Stories project, a partnership with PhotoForward, is currently in the middle of its second phase...
Whilst mass tourism to Thailand is one of the mainstays of the Kingdom's economy, individuals and small groups who are keen to promote responsible, sustainable tourism in the country are starting to offer experiences to the increasing number of visitors who want their holiday to make a difference.
At Gecko Villa a fully catered private pool villa set on working rice paddies in Udon Thani province, a warm welcome is extended to visitors who wish to get off the beaten track and immerse themselves in a resolutely authentic region of Thailand. Here, a natural symbiosis exists, whereby:
- Guests enjoy unusual, fun & experiential holidays, and direct interaction with the locals, and
- The local community benefits directly via the creation of sustainable local employment, funding to protect its eco-systems, and the preservation and promotion of its culture.
Making Responsible Tourism Fun
The small scale of Gecko Villa ensures...
I recently completed a Site Preservation and Tourism plan for Areni-1 Cave in Southeastern Armenia. Although difficult to photograph, the site is incredible and filled with loads of artifacts including:
The world's earliest known leather shoe (3500 BCE)
The world's earliest known wine-making facility (4000 BCE)
Wine press for stomping grapes, fermentation and storage vessels, drinking cups, withered grape vines, skins, and seeds
Perhaps the earliest existence of domesticated grapes
Seeds from more than 30 types of fruit including grape seeds and vines of the species Vitis vinifera
Earliest known human brain
Array of culturally diverse pottery
Copper Age artifacts dating as far back as 4000 BCE including knives, picks and beads
Dating for metallurgy has gone back 1,000 years because of discoveries made at Areni-1 Cave
Baskets, ropes, reeds, textiles, dried fruit and dozens of cereal species
Medieval cloth
Armenia is a beautiful country, with stunning scenery that changes from...
We're four weeks into the second year of Stitching Our Stories! We have expanded to include women from other ethnic groups like Kmhmu, Tai Lue, Tai Dam, and Phunoi and have started the Stitching Our Stories scholarship and internship programme. The work of the participants of years one and two will be featured in a community-curated exhibition on "childhood" opening in September 2014. Some of the young women's work will also be showcased at the United Nations Annual Commission on the Status of Women in March 2014 in New York City.
This project has garnered a lot of interest recently for its commitment to ensuring the voices of ethnic women are heard, providing educational enrichment opportunities to women and children, and helping to encourage ethnic pride among minorities. If you would like to support this project, our partner, PhotoForward, has just launched a crowd-funding campaign on RocketHub and some of...

Throughout Europe the 'Natura 2000' network of protected areas, created with the aim of conserving natural habitats, flora and fauna and in particular wild birds, is considered a blessing: Natura 2000 areas constitute an institutional, legal and funding framework which helps local communities and local governments attain a high standard of living through environmental and cultural conservation using democratic methods and without depending on the intentions and plans of central governments.
Two other useful methodologies/tools are the White Paper on European Governance (2001) and Local Agenda 21, which when combined with a well-functioning Natura 2000 area which has a managing body and a management plan they can bring sustainability and success to local communities. The White Paper on European Governance proposes the following key principles: Openness, Participation, Accountability, Effectiveness and Coherence. Local Agenda 21, a horizontal management system, which is followed by 90% of western European municipalities, offers information, communication and...
The UNWTO this year has picked "Tourism and Water" as the theme of the World Tourism Day. Should they/we be celebrating? While access to clean water and sanitation is not a given for over a billion people in the global south, northern multinationals, use vast amounts of water (private swimming pools, golf courses) often in semi-arid and arid areas, to pamper their affluent guests in luxury resorts / enclaves for the rich that displace vulnerable communities and destroy coastal ecosystems.
General annual "parental-advisory" type calls on holiday-makers to voluntarily "minimize" or, worse, "offset" their water use are hypocritical and simply do not work. Can private water offset projects, even technologically-novel ones such as those producing water from air humidity, replace a government's responsibility to provide water and sanitation to all inhabitants in a general, permanent and not sporadic manner (i.e. one village has water due to the benevolence of private benefactors, 10...
Ban Tale Nok village, one of the longest running villages to work with Andaman Discoveries, recently received an interactive guide training to renew and revamp their skills. There was a mix between old guides and students that are interested in developing guide skills to help the community based tourism group in their village. The guides were given tips on how to better interact and convey information to the guests staying in their village so that everybody has a meaningful and hands on experience. They practiced this by running through situations and sample tours, giving feedback to each other in areas that could be strengthened. Andaman Discoveries staff and Intern Uzma Daraman were there to facilitate and help build the capacity of the village guides. With rejuvenated and newly trained guides, Ban Talae Nok continues to be a wonderful village to visit that will truly leave you with a sense of the...

Hillary is just a pig, a dirty, nasty, vile person. The less I see of her the better I feel.
So how many bodies would it take for this person (and I use the term loosely) to show up on a Sunday show? 5, 6, 7 . . . how many? And to think we will now have to deal with her running for president. After eight years of obama I can not stand the thought of her and bill back in our house.
Hitlery also didn´t mind doing the Sunday shows to remark about The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy when Bill was....well, you remember.
of course
On Sunday mornings in my opinion she spends it looking for missing FBI files and Vince Foster memorabilia.
Don´t we still run the house ?Call her back.It shouldn´t be over ´til we say it´s over.She is still the SOS.
#6 really? do we run the House?
Too busy going to church. /s
When Hillary was asked if she woke up cranky. she replied, "No, I let Huma sleep."

1. Are there "secrets" as to getting the aircraft to re-base? I've only been able to do it a couple of times but I'm not sure why it worked.
2. Even when I've got it re-based, I can not figure out how to engage the aircraft in combat, either to attack enemy units or to sweep the skies to enemy aircraft. I see the button for the aircraft and have tried clicking on them but haven't had much success.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Do you remember that ongoing tax case that Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana were the subject of? Just to refresh your mind, in April last year the design duo were cleared of all charges of criminal tax evasion but today the story resurfaced and there's a twist. According to Reuters, the designers will be forced to stand trial after all.
'Milan judge Giuseppe Gennari gave the green light for prosecutors to bring the fashion duo to court over allegations of tax evasion totalling around 1 billion euros ($1.25 billion),' the title revealed. Gabbana took to Twitter on Friday writing, 'Everyone knows that we haven't done anything.'

The UHP says the crash happened after a rear-end collision pushed the victim's vehicle into oncoming traffic on State Road 36 where a head-on collision took place.
The victims were later identified as 49-year-old Slaone F. Ackman and 29-year-old Trista S. Ackman, from Salt Lake City. Both women were pronounced dead at the scene.
The UHP said that the driver of a third vehicle thought to be involved in the crash left the scene.
On Wednesday morning, the UHP indicated that the driver of the vehicle that left the scene contacted the authorities late Tuesday night.
The UHP did not indicate what role the drive may have played in the crash, which was still under investigation, and that no charges had yet been filed.

Master IBM's Breakthrough DAD Process Framework for Succeeding with Agile in Large, Complex, Mission-Critical IT Projects
It is widely recognized that moving from traditional to agile approaches to build software solutions is a critical source of competitive advantage. Mainstream agile approaches that are indeed suitable for small projects require significant tailoring for larger, complex enterprise projects. In Disciplined Agile Delivery, Scott W. Ambler and Mark Lines introduce IBM's breakthrough Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework, which describes how to do this tailoring. DAD applies a more disciplined approach to agile development by acknowledging and dealing with the realities and complexities of a portfolio of interdependent program initiatives.
Ambler and Lines show how to extend Scrum with supplementary agile and lean strategies from Agile Modeling (AM), Extreme Programming (XP), Kanban, Unified Process (UP), and other proven methods to provide a hybrid approach that is adaptable to your organization's unique needs. They candidly describe what practices work best, why they work, what the trade-offs are, and when to consider alternatives, all within the context of your situation.
Disciplined Agile Delivery addresses agile practices across the entire lifecycle, from requirements, architecture, and development to delivery and governance. The authors show how these best-practice techniques fit together in an end-to-end process for successfully delivering large, complex systems--from project initiation through delivery.
Coverage includes
Scaling agile for mission-critical enterprise endeavors
Avoiding mistakes that drive poorly run agile projects to chaos
Effectively initiating an agile project
Transitioning as an individual to agile
Incrementally building consumable solutions
Deploying agile solutions into complex production environments
Leveraging DevOps, architecture, and other enterprise disciplines
Adapting your governance strategy for agile projects
Based on facts, research, and extensive experience, this book will be an indispensable resource for every enterprise software leader and practitioner--whether they're seeking to optimize their existing agile/Scrum process or improve the agility of an iterative process.
Average Rating: Based on 6 Ratings
"Agile for teams up to 25,000-the definitive guide" - by ChrisFCarroll on 15-APR-2013
Reviewer Rating:
Scott Ambler has been working on Agile methodologies since about the time the agile manifesto was published. He was chief methodologist at IBM/Rational during the period that IBM/Rational defined their "agile@scale" approach.
Many organisations struggle to evolve their own way of scaling agile, often by modifying xp or scrum. But other agile methodologies already address issues of larger scale agile, notably the Unified Process derived approaches openUP and agileUP. Beyond that, Ambler & Lines identify the scaling factors you need to consider; not only team size but also geographic distribution and factors relating to risk, governance and complexity.
The book is straightforward and logical. If you must co-ordinate more than one agile team, it represents the authoritative guide on the issues you face and how to address them.

Local Search SEO: Discover the top ranking factors that determine success in local search with Google, Bing, and Yahoo. For businesses with a local or regional presence, there's huge upside in optimizing your site for local search, and it's a safe bet most of your competitors aren't doing it right.

This is my own take on the Marvel universe, taking place after the Avengers movie, but not any of the Phase 2 movies.
That battle, all those years ago…. That was the end of the world. This. This is the new world.
The battle of New York was the turning point in the history of the world. Not only were superheroes fully introduced into the world, but also supervillains. Some showed their colors soon after the great battle, others waited patiently; waiting for the right time to strike. The year is 2022, a whole decade after the formation of the assembly of The Avengers. Much has happened since then, more superheroes have surfaced, some of them making their own teams and groups to fend off the rising villains. Since then, crime has lowered by a great amount. The most of it being stopped by the Avengers; The Earth's Mightiest Heroes, they have kept the world safe, but have slowly been faltering. The world has moved on, and although greatly appreciated, they are being left behind. Suddenly, the earth is under a new threat, and the most frightening thing out it is that no one knows what it is. Multiple attacks around the world have been recorded, and have been reported as "To chaotic to be organized." Without need in the past couple years, the Avengers has been disbanded. They need to assemble once more. From the start of the announcement, Steve Rodgers knew that this was going to be a bad idea for all of them. Although usually being the counterpart in this situation, Tony agreed with him. Bruce had gone off to do better things with his newly found free time, Thor was much too busy with having to rule over Asguard, Hawkeye and Black Widow left the team, seeing that they were only human compared to the others. Steve took the free time to fully adjust to living in the modern age, where he couldn't before due to having to work and train all of the time. Tony and Pepper were running Stark industries, but had offered to help the next group of avengers.
The original team agreed to assemble once more, to find the next group that would take their place, the Next avengers.
So I understand that a lot of you have been waiting all day for me to get the OOC up and running. Just a couple of rules to go through, and a couple of rules in relation to the Characters that you guys have already seem to have made.
- Standard rules apply, but the punishment will be associated with what you have done, not just one universal punishment to go with everything.
- Respect the other RPers that are also participating in this, it's simple.
- If you want to discuss something relating to the overall plot, please contact me about it, and I'll discuss it with my Co-GMs.
- Collab posts are welcomed, but please don't have every other post be a collab. (IE the use of titanpad, or things relative.)
- Please allow two to three posts to pass before you post again, this is mainly just so that no one rushes ahead.

text: Home Politics Charlie Rangel Wants One More Round The Harlem Congressman -- and sometimes chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee -- says he has unfinished business; the challengers say it's time to step down. By: E.R. Shipp Posted: May 28 2010 5:49 PM 0 Charles Rangel , the more-or-less former chair of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, says that he is seeking reelection to a 21st term. This is despite the ethical investigations that led him to leave a perch from which his Harlem constituents and others expected him to achieve so much - and despite a growing field of dreamers who want to replace him. Nearing 80, he is clearly a lion in winter with younger members of the pride nipping at his heels. "The reality is that people are saying that it is time to turn the page for a new chapter in political leadership in northern Manhattan," says Adam Clayton Powell IV, son of the legendary Harlem Congressman that Rangel himself ousted forty years ago. "Everyone knows that change is coming. The question is when and the question is who." Powell is one of several politicians seeking the seat Rangel has held since 1971. Another would-be challenger, a former aide, says Rangel is merely "a talking suit" doing little for the people of New York's 15th Congressional District, which now extends well beyond Harlem's borders to include predominantly white and Hispanic neighborhoods. "He wants one more go around, then he'll retire. I think it's unfair to put your district behind your own personal ego," says Vince M. Morgan. "This seat belongs to the people. It does not belong to Charlie Rangel." About a half dozen people are now declaring themselves candidates- though they don't have to make anything official until July. All are campaigning on variations of the question: Why is Charlie running? To that,Rangel says: "If I didn't run, the question would be 'Why aren't you running?' I'm running because I think I have a job to do, a job to complete." Still, Rangel expects to return to the chairman's status as soon as the ethical committee completes its work. "If I was exonerated tomorrow, I'd be the chairman the day after." He says he is still working closely with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and even with President Obama on legislative matters. "I don't think I have any problems at all with the President," he says. Though he was once a fixture on Sunday morning news programs, he is now something of an invisible man. He says he does not have to do TV to be effective. Powell, a 10-year veteran of the New York state legislature who is leaving his seat to run for Congress, says that Rangel, a man he respects, doesn't believe he needs to do much campaigning because his name is enough. Powell plans to meet commuters during morning and afternoon rush hours at subway stations, seniors during the lunch hour, and anyone else he can by knocking on doors in the evenings. That's Mondays through Fridays after the legislative session ends in late June. "On Saturdays we're going to walk the streets. On Sundays I may take the day off after a couple of churches." Back in the district, Rangel says, people are telling him that they need him now more than ever. Morgan, a high school dropout who earned his GED and several college degrees before becoming a banker, says Rangel isn't hearing what people in the district are saying. The unemployment rate in Harlem over the past 40 years is still at least twice the rest of the city. More than 120,000 people over the age of 25 have no high school diplomas, have not earned GEDs and have very limited prospects in the legitimate job market. He claims small businesses are not in the loop even with the Obama administration's efforts. "This is what Charlie has fallen down on," Morgan says. "I haven't seen a strategic plan." Michel Faulkner, pastor of a 60-member congregation in Harlem, says, "As a community, we deserve better." So far, he is the lone Republican in the field of dreamers looking to replace Rangel. Faulkner played briefly for the New York Jets before earning a masters degree in education and career counseling and turning to his ministry full time. "It's a complicated mess we have," he says, with neither Democrats nor Republicans delivering to blacks and Latinos in the district. He can be independent, he says, because "my loyalty is to my God and my country." Rangel, a high school dropout who turned his life around, is a normally jovial guy, but really chuckles when he hears that the putative candidates are saying he needs to get out of their way. He said as much more than 40 years ago when he challenged the legendary Adam Clayton Powell Jr. - a powerful legislator in the 1950s and 1960s who was also a notorious bon vivant, loved ladies and spent much time in the Caribbean while serving as pastor of the renowned Abyssinian Baptist Church. Powell died in 1972. "There should always be people who are ambitious and who would want to serve," he says. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Sail-World.com : Superior Jetties creates curvaceous concept at RPAYC
Superior Jetties creates curvaceous concept at RPAYC
'Close to 50m in length, the pontoon is a custom design of Superior Jetties' Super Elite system and has been installed as a service wharf.'
Superior Jetties
Superior Jetties recently installed a new curved pontoon at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club (RPAYC) in Pittwater, Sydney.
Close to 50m in length, the pontoon is a custom design of Superior Jetties' Super Elite system and has been installed as a service wharf – allowing club members and the public to access the restaurant, chandlery and clubhouse from the water.
RPAYC facilities manager Dave Randall said the pontoon was a welcome addition to the club's docking facilities.
'The previous service pontoon was pretty well past its use-by date,' Mr Randall said.
'Superior Jetties did a fantastic job customising the pontoon to fit both the space available and the club's specific needs.
'It's given the club more flexibility as we can get boats around the back of it now… for example, we had around 25 Etchells moored there during the recent state regatta.'
Superior Jetties project manager Matthew Browning said it was a good challenge to build a custom pontoon with such a distinctive curve.
'The final concept meant creating 12 individually-designed sections to be connected together,' Mr Browning said.
'The benefit of our Super Elite system is that it can be expanded in sections… all we had to do was design the exact angle of each section to make-up the overall pontoon curve.
superior rpayc 3 -
Superior Jetties?nid=93181
'The modular aspect was important as the club wants to extend the pontoon all the way across to connect with the A-arm in the future… so we'll be able to add sections as required and it should end up as a very cool S-shape.'
The five-sided concrete floatation with polyethylene base, along with the 125mm-thick concrete deck, gives the whole structure a very solid mass which makes it reassuringly stable which is important with a higher level of use.
Mr Browning said it was important to have high-level products on display for local marina managers to inspect at a time when the Sydney market was becoming more active.
To inspect Superior Jetties' curved Super Elite pontoon at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club contact the club or Superior Jetties to arrange an appointment.

Well forget tax hikes in the new year is the bigger worry the 77000.
Hi everybody got David -- welcome to Forbes on FOX let's go -- focus where did Steve Forbes.
Rick younger Elizabeth MacDonald rich car guard Morgan -- and Victoria -- now -- a lot of silly things but there -- some really.
Important rules and regs that are going to affect a lot of small businesses in America right.
Boy you're right about that David you should look at four areas one is financial regulations.
Which makes it's still hard for small businesses to get loans you have the health care regulations that you mentioned obamacare is adding.
Cost burdens everywhere you look behind every nook and cranny.
You have environmental regulations that's a hole I area that's killing small businesses particularly where I live in California California farmers are getting.
Groaned at the expense of protection of certain insects and then you have labor regulations last year we saw the national their little -- -- labor relations board to war against Boeing's so.
He added -- a lot but adds a lot of uncertainty and it paralyzes new hiring.
Now Rick -- the president claims that he speaks for small businesses but aren't the small businesses.
The ones who were particularly hard hit by always -- rates actually now -- I'm always amazed some people say that I was a small businessman for a very long time.
Am I gotta tell you -- you know I had the same hassles everybody has but there was never regulations I said boy if we could just get rid of that regulation.
I'd be making a lot more money -- David let me point this out as you set.
A lot of things were talking about here our state based silly laws are not silly -- but they don't have an impact on the economy.
The reality is because last year was an election here we actually have a very small number.
Our regulations that are hitting us as well you'll bring up an -- -- back is which is that that the president's new list of regulations which are the 77000.
Were issued on the Friday before Christmas interesting -- to that try to get buried in the holidays right.
Yeah -- -- release of between April and October but they buried it in the dead of night and you know these proposed new rules -- -- cost economy 128 billion dollars that's one estimate out there you know even Russia's Tsar Nicholas said.
You know what my I don't ruled Russia my is my bureaucrats -- -- little -- -- is -- that's we have.
Going on in this country rich her cart has it right.
We've got bureaucrats justifying their own existence by creating new rules and what happens with small businesses we talked to a lot of -- talk to them they got to hire their own bureaucrats to do with the governor.
And -- so Morgan -- seem access for all these new rules you need new administrators knew bureaucrats news ours we don't need anymore those doing.
Hey maybe it adds jobs but actually I think it's really important to -- the point that.
Regulations are necessary -- something even governor Romney -- in the first presidential debate.
And for -- poorly written regulation we actually have some that are very smartly written especially on the state level as far as what's rolling out this here.
Case in point Oregon is coming out with a lot that makes employers not discriminate discriminate against unemployed applicants it's very important especially with long term unemployed.
We've seen a lot of discrimination -- that's actually good for.
For -- -- you can always justify things I -- government bureaucrats are great just -- but the bottom line is that regulations.
Or tax on business are they not they are indeed David and people who love regulations always make it a choice between.
Anarchy and regulations.
It isn't regulations cost us economy one point 75 trillion dollars a year.
A lot of them optionally unnecessary.
And in terms of job creation.
Having -- -- -- midsize bank had to hire a thousand people for compliance that -- hundreds -- -- loan officers one reason -- small and medium -- businesses are struggling.
So regulations are -- pure and simple Victoria the president claims that he's for small business the president claims that he's for more jobs and get.
He comes out with a basket full of regulations that may hurt job creation.
Absolutely because each regulation is a hidden cost of doing business.
It and and rich put it the right way from the beginning.
Which is that these small businesses have to then go out and hire someone to keep track.
Of all these regulations and that's hiring that isn't going toward productivity towards growing their businesses and growing the economy.
So it's sneaky stuff you know where you see it.
Really really wreak Havoc as -- -- university systems we're now you've got.
For every one -- you've got.
More than or at least one administrator that wasn't the case forty years ago -- and we should nobody's going well we've got regulations to keep up with.
That's true there are regular but rich you are right parents talk about you but you've made a lifetime of studying the way business works in -- about you actually hear people complaining saying it.
It's gonna prevent me from hiring more people because -- have to deal always he -- Really you're right about that not so much and Silicon Valley because if you deal in bits and -- if you're what I call an algorithmic business.
You make software.
You escape -- regulatory detection apparatus.
And the problem is is that you know the companies that actually make.
And -- things and use energy and extract things from the ground.
Farmers manufacturers.
-- urged.
You know those that companies that constitute the bulk of the economy.
Those are the ones are really hit it's fine if you're making you know applications for the iPhone or you're doing algorithms for trading on Wall Street then you're not.
It's so much so so Rick the kind of business you do you were small businessman a small business -- but the fact is is that.
The folks who actually make things were more in the intellectual property round where you're not actually it's fascinating which just said I think -- world to that story is the reason we have regulations and it's the people who were in the position to do harm.
To their customers to the environment to whoever.
That are the ones who won the padding regulations why.
Because before they had the regulations they.
We're doing harm you know that I illicit we're all for rules that protect the public safety we get that but we've got -- congress the senate is breaking its own rules by not.
Passing a budget in the last three years so that's the issue and -- is is that.
The reason we're seeing is is not a lack of rules that the shortage of enforcement we're creating rules.
And credit -- is not the same as making people or the government or the economy more effective.
No Margaret Thatcher had a right -- she sent to one conservative backed venture.
The trouble with huge John as you spy doesn't reach your brain so -- -- is bureaucrats are making rules to justify their own existence and then justify more bureaucrats well I think.
These roles that integrate plug it organized you shaking your head but it is true having brought up a -- -- Italian a very often these bureaucracies look for ways to replicate themselves to make sure that they have job protection later rot.
I am sorry but making it illegal to sell you cigarettes to children and it is -- is a right -- -- regulation that's rolling out this here.
I don't see how that is a bureaucrat looking to make -- -- -- -- we're not talking -- -- that -- not thought about those rules were talking about things like health reform.
Which is its own many government until he's out here no we're not we're talking about the states have to make -- -- rules and force the government's rules about health reform.
And it's really ad hoc rule making on the fly that small businesses are gonna have to -- Steve Forbes it in the in just the last ninety days according to the website the federal government has issued more than 5500.
New regulatory proposals you can cherry pick and find some good ones in there.
But 5500.
New regulatory proposals and all of those might require some.
Paperwork and a part of businesses.
Yes it is a burden David and the fact matter is bureaucracies love to expand -- British historian once noted when the British navy declined and sides after World War I.
The agency running that may be increased in size so the navy got smaller but the bureaucracy got bigger -- -- -- your -- government yeah have you ever seen a regulation that that was not necessary or that was just I'm sort of make work for now I'm sure that -- -- but I can tell you were talking about banks.
These are people who have built a business over the years with tiny tiny tiny print -- rip people off I am not sorry that they're having to hire a lot of compliance people.
Because they now have to be honest when -- It assumes that the regulators inside the beltway are smarter then that whiz kids in -- worked out Wall Street having -- sometimes the regulators are about two or three steps behind the people they're trying to regulate.
Well and end and -- want to talk about.
The banks.
I mean the regulator that's one of the most have been historically one of the most heavily regulated industries.
And yet it was the cause of our financial crisis that it was in no small part because those banks were regulated.
Into making.
Very risky loans ever so hard and it's almost like yeah yeah.
That's lower regulation a broad view of what is what is the morals in this turnout for -- -- -- -- or more concern now compliance and creating new things as -- -- -- coming -- that.

Self-Care DIY: A How-To Just for You
Community organizer and yoga instructor Kim Crosby give us the much-needed lowdown on self-care.
Self-care is the act of intentionally and unintentionally engaging in thoughts and actions that have positive and affirming impacts on our mind, body and spirit. It looks different for everyone based on preference, culture and lived experience. It can change depending on our ages, our location, even the season. Self-care is one of the most valuable activities that we can engage in. It keeps us resilient and able to take care of others in a world that is hard on us.
As folks who are living at the intersections of many different experiences of oppression — queer, trans, gender non-conforming, people of colour, disabilities, class — self-care is more than just a practice, it is an act of resistance.
The rate of substance abuse in our communities is often very high and there are complex reasons behind this that include needing to cope through unreasonable circumstances. I do want to be clear that there is no shame in 'coping'. Drugs and alcohol can be used in ways that are empowering and in ways that are disempowering. As a community, we have to be careful not to pass judgment on the ways in which we take care of ourselves and manage our trauma. We need to be supportive of each other to make decisions for ourselves in ways that are affirming as opposed to believing that we can or should be making decisions for each other.
We need to be able to create more spaces to learn about each other's stories and work together in order to address the systems of advantage that shame genderqueer folks when they go see a doctor, the same system that doesn't include education for and by First Nations people in our curriculum and the same system that disproportionately incarcerates people of color. We have to recognize that responses to this sick system can range from anger to suicide and when there are negative consequences it is not the fault of those who have been victimized by it, it's is not that we are not strong enough, but rather that we have been strong for too long.
We need to be proud that we got up in the morning, proud when we take a self-care day to stay home from work, proud when you supported a friend and proud when you recognized your boundaries and knew that you couldn't support a single person. Self-care is a process that is affected by everything around us, it looks more like a wavy line as opposed to a straight line.
It is from this place of affirmation of our intrinsic value, it is from a place of acknowledging that as author, teacher and feminist, Alexis Pauline Gumbs says, "you don't have to do nothing to be loved" that I want us to reconsider self-care. These divisions are for the most part arbitrary and things that are under the 'mind' category could just as easily fall under the 'body' category and the all flow between each other.
For me, self-care is a way to transform my entire experience of life. Time passes by much more slowly, my gaze turns from outwards to inwards, and I am able to identify the standards I need others to meet when they want to express care.
We should start devoting time to take care of ourselves as young as possible, regardless of the resources we have access to. As a yoga teacher, I always remind my students that sometimes all we have is our breath. Meaning, sometimes, we might not have money or space, we might have too much work and not enough time, but we can definitely take deep breaths. Even the most simple of actions can be self-care.
Feel free to organize and plan out your self-care strategies in whatever way feels right.

Business and IT alignment should be the major driver for your IT-strategy and you major IT-initiatives. But there is still the "T" in "IT": Information Technology requires special attention. Maintaining an application's lifecycle includes regular upgrades of enhancements from the package provider, as well extensively considered decisions, for the upgrade at the end of an application's life. All applications in your portfolio must stay manageable, secure, compliant and performing.
How BearingPoint brings value
Operation and optimization of major ERP systems should be basic tools of trade of IT operators or administrators. Using a group of unbiased experts to find pitfalls, gaps or optimization potential can increase acceptance and secure the investments into your ERP. The more complex the system landscape becomes, the more risky changes on the basis levels of the IT systems become. Experience and excellence in these tasks is indispensable here.
If you're not sure whether to really maintain a current watch list of technology innovations or what is worth to assess in more detail, just delegate this to technology experts like us who quickly filter out the important trends for you and assist you in decision making.
