The State's Vol. III: The Social Olfactory is launched today at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, India. In Dubai, copies are sold at Traffic. Stockists are at Doha, Lisbon, London, Singapore, Chicago, Madrid, New York, and Paris.
My story, "The Proustian Phenomenon," touches on my absolute disgust for the dog-eating population of the Philippines, my unpopular views on college frats as "fancily-named-by-misappropriating-Greek-letters brotherhood," and other sniff-tastic things. There's also the memory of sex incited by the scent of lemongrass, of grief by mothballs.
Here are some of the shots I pilfered from the social media accounts of The State's editors.
This is my first inclusion in a Dubai-based publication, so I'm really quite thrilled. The picture of Dubai I have in mind has always been the riveting architecture, like the iconic Palm Islands and the city's skyscrapers.
Adam David's grassroots micropress is also set to launch a doomsday-themed anthology entitled Thursday Never Coming Back. Here's the awesome DFW-inspired cover.

Did you notice what what said?
The wheelchair and the other guests.
The fellow, a nice guy himself, given permission started leading us over to the elevator while saying "I can take you all down." I stayed put. He looked back at me questioningly. I said, "I'm not sure what I am supposed to do?" He explained that the elevator would take us down. I said, "But what am I supposed to do? Wait here?"
He was lost.
"Well, you're taking the wheelchair and the other guests. What about me? Do I wait here?"
Realization dawns on his face.
"No, no, he meant that all of you could come down."
"But he said, 'the wheelchair and other guests.'"
He was pretty quick on his feet, "Well, that's what he said, I said we could all go down together." He's right, he did say that. We went down.
We went down.
Not "the wheelchair and other guests."
This doesn't happen often, but when it does it irks me. I feel invisiblized, which is a word that doesn't exist but it should, people with disabilities and those in other minorities will understand it's meaning instinctively.
"Petty and over concerned with language from people who don't mean anything by it." I know that's what will be said. But the fact that you don't place meaning on your words doesn't mean it's not there. Ever think of that?

Best Dogs for Kids
Mutts or Blends
In the animal welfare movement, some advocates are replacing the word "mutt" with "blends" or "mixed breeds." "All come with positives and negatives," says Diana M. Knight, VMD, at South Orange Animal Hospital in South Orange, New Jersey. "And many people believe that mutts are hardier because of their lower incidence of genetic disease. What it comes down to when finding the perfect pet for your family is your lifestyle."
Golden Retrievers
Golden retrievers are laid back and tolerant of tail and ear pulling by small children. "As with any dog, children should be supervised by an adult," says Dr. Knight. "These dogs need active families. Otherwise, they will get into mischief."
Before you start looking for a specific breed, think about your family's lifestyle. Are you active or is an evening sitting on the couch watching a movie more your speed? Boxers are quite active, friendly, and good with kids.
Doberman Pinschers
"I've seen many Doberman pinschers in my practice that are loyal and incredibly protective of kids," says Dr. Knight. "They aren't as friendly with outsiders, though. They also require exercise."
Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers
These extremely playful and energetic dogs are wonderful companions for active families. Many of these dogs remain energetic throughout their entire lives. They also get along well with other dogs and are completely devoted to their owners.
Standard poodles (those are the larger ones) and the miniatures (medium size) are quite intelligent and are eager to please. Despite their elegant looks, they make great watchdogs. Plus, they have hair, not fur, which makes them appropriate for families dealing with allergies.
Portuguese Water Dogs
This breed became popular after President Obama received one for his family. These fun-loving dogs are great with children, and because they have hair, not fur, they are great dogs for people with allergies. Portuguese water dogs are quite affectionate and active. They need a lot of exercise and mental stimulation.
Shetland Sheepdogs
Also known as shelties, these herding dogs are smart and easy to train. They love being a part of a family, "and while they are great dogs, they need to have tasks to occupy their minds and tire them out," says Dr. Knight. "They also like to be heard, so they tend to bark."
Great Danes
Often called "gentle giants," Great Danes are good dogs for children. Because of their size, Great Danes need to be exercised — but after that, many of these dogs enjoy sitting next to you on the sofa.
Boston Terriers
These small, sturdy dogs are well mannered and good around children. The caveat here is that they need a fair amount of mental and physical exercise. Like most intelligent dogs, Boston terriers can get into trouble if left alone. However, with plenty of attention and exercise, they are extremely playful and loyal.

After another season in which NBA stars took nights off to rest during nationally televised games, the NBA made several changes to their schedule in an effort to give players more rest in between games.
Prior to the changes, many pointed to stars in previous generations who never took games off just to rest. Others, like Bill Simmons, argued that today's game is a lot more taxing on the body for a number of reasons.
No matter the reason or the merits for most, for LeBron James, it seems like he has earned an occasional night off. James is only 32, and yet he has already surpassed Michael Jordan in terms of minutes played in their entire careers, including the playoffs. James entered the 2017-18 season at 50,399 minutes played, nearly 2,000 more than MJ's entire career.
Of course, James started his career at a younger age and Jordan had already retired once by age 32. However, those factors may also explain why Jordan was still able to play all 82 regular-season games into his mid-30s.

On paper, the new Ferrari GTC4Lusso takes everything you might have loved about the FF and makes it better. Even though Ferrari calls it a new model, technically, it's still an upgraded version.
On the other hand, it's hard to ignore the fact that so many things are new with this car, from the updated design and tech features, to the more powerful V12 and the newly-developed rear-wheel steering system.
We've already ran through the numbers in the opening image above, so you might say that Ferrari did as much as they could have done while updating the FF, without stepping on the F12's toes. Nevertheless, the GTC4Lusso stands on its own, especially when you factor in the 4RM-S (four-wheel drive and steering) system, which also comes with electronic E-Diff and SCM-E dampers.
Inside, it's almost like you're looking at a new Ferrari built from the ground up. The Dual Cockpit architecture might not be to everyone's taste, so be sure to let us know if you'd like your passengers being constantly up to date with what you're doing behind the wheel. Also, do you think you might get distracted by all those instruments on your right at night time?
Ferrari also launched a new 10.25-inch HD touchscreen which is sure to be appreciated, along with a more compact steering wheel, thanks to a smaller air bag, while the integrated controls are claimed to be more ergonomic.
All that said, which one do you prefer?

* TV series on Mecca siege and public apology spark rare debate
* Powerful crown prince has vowed to revive "moderate Islam"
* Some scholars say official narrative is rewrite of history
By Stephen Kalin
RIYADH, May 12 (Reuters) - The Islamist takeover of Mecca's Grand Mosque in 1979 has been turned into a television drama, spotlighting a controversial narrative Saudi Arabia is using to support social changes once deemed un-Islamic.
A trailer for "Al-Asouf", meaning "winds of change" in Arabic, features explosions and firefights inside the holiest site in Islam, which Juhayman al-Otaybi and his radical followers occupied for two weeks.
The insurrection sent the kingdom in a more conservative direction as its rulers sought to appease hardliners by ceding control over schools, courts and social issues. Morality police enforced modesty and prayer times while banning music and gender-mixing.
Forty years on, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has pledged to revive "moderate Islam", curbing the morality police and lifting a cinema ban.
He blames Saudi Arabia losing its way on the 1979 uprising and the rise of the Sahwa revivalist movement, which criticised the ruling family for corruption, social liberalisation and working with the West.
While some scholars criticise that portrayal as a rewriting of history which overlooks the government's involvement, many Saudis who bristle at the ultra-conservative clergy welcomed it.
Alongside Al-Asouf, which debuted last week, a former Sahwa leader's televised recantation has sparked a rare national discussion about religion and politics.
"I apologise to Saudi society in the name of the Sahwa, those present and absent. I hope they accept this apology," said the preacher, Ayed al-Garni.
"I am now with the moderate, centrist Islam open to the world, which Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has called for. That is our true religion."
Garni, with 19 million Twitter followers, was banned from preaching in the 1990s and arrested over his views, but later adopted pro-government stances.
He joins a growing list of clerics who have reneged on hardline positions as Prince Mohammed arrests critics of his push to liberalise society.
In 2017, the kingdom's top clerical body endorsed ending a ban on women driving which they had justified for decades.
Adel al-Kalbani, a former imam of Mecca's Grand Mosque who has long criticised singing, was present in January when the state announced new entertainment offerings, and appears at card game tournaments which hardliners consider illicit.
In March, Kalbani also retracted his position that Shi'ite Muslims are infidels.
Garni's comments were broadly welcomed, but in a population mostly born after 1979, many Saudis resent how religion has been used to keep them from having fun.
"This apology of yours is not enough, because the price was steep," tweeted actor Nasser al-Gassabi, the star of Al-Asouf.
A young Saudi agreed, calling it "too little, too late".
Over nighttime meals during the fasting month of Ramadan and under the Twitter hashtag "Remind generations of the Sahwa's deeds", Saudis recounted prohibitions imposed by clerics, both state-linked and nominally independent. Under Prince Mohammed, many edicts have been reversed.
"Apologising means turning a page on this experience and not returning to it," tweeted university professor Abdelsalam al-Wail. "It differs from abandoning a sinking ship."
Faisal Abbas, editor in chief of English-language newspaper Arab News, wrote that Garni's remarks came "nowhere close to undoing the harm" and should be the start of "a necessary course correction".
Some urged humility. "Today the Sahwa got off their (high) horse," tweeted novelist Badria al-Beshr, calling on people to carry forward reforms instead of attacking the group.
Others highlighted the state's historical role in empowering clerics it now suppresses. One tweet showed a 1981 speech by the late King Fahd, who was then crown prince, saying: "The Sahwa is not a danger to anyone nor a threat to any society..."

2009 Mazda CX-9 Reviews and Ratings
Utility 4D Touring AWD
Expert Reviews
The Mazda CX-9 is a swift and stylish alternative to a mid-size SUV or a minivan. It's called a crossover vehicle, meaning it combines the cargo capacity of an SUV with the fuel economy, ride quality, and handling of a car.
The CX-9 can carry seven six-footers, thanks to a third-row seat designed with adults in mind. The surroundings are handsome. We found it's easy for a 5-foot, 6-inch woman to climb into the CX-9. Yet the seating position is high enough that the driver looks over at, not up to, drivers in big SUVs. The CX-9 is available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, providing a nice option for those who worry about snowy travel in hilly areas. Properly equipped, the CX-9 is rated to tow up to 3500 pounds.
What sets the CX-9 apart are its sporty looks and the road manners to back them up. The CX-9 responds quickly to driver input, feeling surprisingly enthusiastic about travel on a serpentine two-lane. Performance is provided by a 3.7-liter V6 engine delivering 273 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. This refined, 24-valve power plant was designed by Ford and is built in Ohio before being shipped to Japan where the CX-9 is assembled. It works with an impressive six-speed, Japanese-made automatic transmission that can be shifted manually if the driver is interested in some frisky motoring.
Safety has not been forgotten, either; in fact, kudos to Mazda for equipping even the least-expensive CX-9 model with electronic stability control (which help the driver maintain control on slippery surfaces), roll stability control, and air curtains, which provide head protection in a side-impact crash. The CX-9 has received the U.S. government's highest possible ratings (five stars) in frontal and side impact crashes, and four-star ratings for rollover resistance.
The Mazda CX-9 was introduced as a 2007 model. For 2009, the Blind Spot Monitoring system, which alerts the driver to vehicles lurking in those hard-to-see, over-the-shoulder locations, comes standard on CX-9 Grand Touring models. All 2009 models come with a trip computer and Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone operation.
All Mazda vehicles come with a roadside assistance program, which operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, throughout the United States and Canada.
The 2009 Mazda CX-9 comes in three trim levels. Each is available in either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive ($1,400).
The base-level Sport ($29,820) comes with three-zone automatic climate control, AM/FM/CD audio with auxiliary input jack, power windows, power door locks, remote/keyless entry, cruise control, telescope-tilt steering wheel, variable-speed wipers, rear-window wiper; cloth upholstery, six-way manual adjusting driver's seat, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. New for 2009 are a trip computer and Bluetooth connectivity for cell phones. Buyers can also now add a package ($490) that includes heated front seats and outside mirrors, plus power adjustment for the driver's seat.
Touring ($31,715) adds leather upholstery, power and heated front seats, heated outside mirrors, automatic headlamps, and storage and cupholders in the second-row center armrest. The Touring Assistance Package ($2,517) adds DVD navigation, Smart Card advanced entry and starting system, a rearview camera, a power liftgate, and, new for 2009, Bluetooth streaming audio.
Grand Touring ($33,805) adds more deluxe trim inside and out, plus turn signals integrated into the side mirrors, high-intensity discharge (HID) headlights, fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, memory for the driver's seat, security system with advanced keyless entry Smart Card, and 20-inch aluminum wheels. An auto-dimming inside mirror with garage door opener has been added to the list for 2009. So has Blind Spot Monitoring. (Both were optional last year.) The Grand Touring Assistance Package ($2,300) adds navigation, a rearview camera, power liftgate, and Bluetooth streaming audio.
In order to buy either Assistance Package, buyers must also choose a rear-seat entertainment/Bose audio package ($2,760), which is available on Touring and Grand Touring only; or a moonroof/Bose audio package ($1,960) that is available on the Sport model as well. Both now include Sirius Satellite Radio with a six-month subscription. A towing package ($525) for Grand Touring FWD only boosts trailer capacity from 2,000 pounds to 3,500. For all models, Mazda lists more than a dozen dealer-installed accessories, including Sirius Satellite Radio ($430); remote-engine start ($350); and a retractable cargo cover ($205).
Standard safety features include electronic stability control with roll stability control and traction control, anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist, side air curtains, front-seat-mounted side-impact air bags, and of course the required dual frontal air bags. Air curtains are low-pressure airbags that come down from the ceiling to cover the side windows in all three rows. The idea is to provide head protection in a side-impact crash. Studies and crash tests have shown such head protection can significantly improve the chance of surviving side-impact crashes, which are particularly deadly because there is so little metal to protect the occupants of the vehicle being struck. The air bags mounted in the front seats are designed to provide chest protection in a side-impact crash. Optional all-wheel drive adds a measure of driving safety in slippery conditions.
The Mazda CX-9 is presented as a substitute for a sport utility vehicle or a minivan, and Mazda has made sure it looks like neither.
It's worth noting the CX-9 is not a longer version of the five-seat CX-7. The mechanical underpinnings are different and the structures of the two vehicles are not related.
The Mazda CX-9 shares its basic structure with the five-passenger Ford Edge, although the Mazda is longer, by 2 inches of wheelbase and 14 inches overall. In fact, the CX-9 is the largest Mazda ever. Its overall length of almost 200 inches makes it nearly a foot longer than the Toyota Highlander or Nissan Murano. What is perhaps most surprising about the CX-9 is that it doesn't look big from the outside.
The CX-9's nose features a huge Mazda insignia and prominent, flared fenders that lead a character line heading back and slightly upward just below the windows. The roof arches, crests and then slides back and down. One surprise is a pronounced bulge in the tailgate, like an old-fashioned bustle. It is a neat trick that adds a little extra storage capacity.
Safety researchers say the strength of the vehicle's body is also crucial in providing protection in a side-impact crash. Mazda took this into consideration, providing B-pillars that are extra wide and strong. (The B-pillar is the second roof pillar back from the windshield, which uses the A-pillar.)
One finds a series of surprises upon first entering the Mazda CX-9. The first is that it is so easy to climb into the front seats. The second is that one sits as high as in most SUVs, enjoying a good look down the road. The third is the amount of room inside.
Carrying seven people means two up front, three in the second row and two in the hind quarters. One tester, at 6 feet 4 inches, could be comfortable in the driver's seat, then move back to the second row and still find enough legroom. That second row, incidentally, is split 60/40, and either side moves fore and aft almost five inches. That allows a nice amount of flexibility in carrying people and cargo of different sizes. The comments above regarding legroom apply with the seat set halfway through its range.
Then, without moving the second-row seat, we climbed into the third row and found adequate head and legroom there, too. To get to the third row one grabs a handle built into the top of the second-row seat and pulls. That releases the seat and slides it forward. The opening is smallish, in part because the wheel arch intrudes. But with a wiggle and a twist an adult can reach the third row without a severe loss of dignity.
Buyers have a choice of black or beige upholstery, and the latter made the interior seem brighter and roomier. The look is upscale, and nothing about it says boring family transportation.
Up front all the driving controls are simple and easy to use. There is a small storage bin between the front seats and relatively thin storage compartments on the front doors.
Mazda says there is 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space with the third row upright. That's not much more than the trunk of a mid-size sedan, and to use it all would require piling luggage up to the roof, blocking the rearward view. Nevertheless 17.2 cubic feet gives the CX-9 a significant advantage over, say, the Toyota Highlander, which has 10.3 cubic feet behind its third row, and 2.5 inches less legroom in the third row. To carry more stuff and fewer people, the Mazda's third row ( a 50/50 split) can be lowered by pulling a strap. Gravity does the work. With both sides down the result is 48.4 cubic feet of space. Getting the seat back up requires pulling the same strap, something my 5-foot 6-inch wife found easy to do.
The second row can also be folded down easily. However, it doesn't create a completely flat cargo area. There is a slight uphill slant.
One thing the very tall person (6-foot 4-inch, in my case) will quickly learn is that the tailgate when open does not have a 6-foot 4-inch clearance. There is nothing like a good rap on the forehead to brighten the day.
Mazda's place within the Ford Motor Company family is to provide the sporty vehicles, those with the zoom-zoom, as Mazda likes to say. That's easy to do with a two-seater like the MX-5 roadster, but it becomes a challenge with a seven-passenger vehicle that weighs over 4,500 pounds in its all-wheel-drive version. Still, it is a challenge that Mazda engineers have met quite nicely, based on the Touring models we drove, one with front-wheel drive and the other with all-wheel drive.
The CX-9 comes with a 3.7-liter V6 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. It's rated at 273 horsepower. The torque curve surges from 3000 to 6000 rpm and peaks with 270 pound-feet at 4500 rpm. Best of all, the CX-9 runs on 87-octane regular unleaded gas, despite a sporty compression ratio of 10.3:1. The 60-degree V6 is state-of-the-art throughout, featuring a die-cast aluminum block with cast-in iron cylinder liners and aluminum heads for minimal weight. The valve train includes chain-driven dual overhead camshafts operating four valves-per-cylinder through easily adjusted bucket tappets. Intake valve timing is variable.
The CX-9 is surprisingly fun to drive for a large vehicle with so much weight up front. That is no small accomplishment for such a large, practical package. The price for the responsive handling, however, is a relatively stiff ride on anything but a smooth surface. The passengers will just have to suffer quietly while Mom or Dad has fun at the wheel. Meanwhile, the CX-9 felt strong and tight on rough roads, refusing to quiver even when striking potholes.
For the driver who wants to be a bit more involved, on mountain roads, for example, the transmission shift lever can be moved to one side, which then allows the driver to manually shift gears by tapping the lever. It is a system that works well with the transmission-control computer doing a good job of blending the upshifts and downshifts to avoid any jerks or stumbles.
Fussy drivers might notice a difference in steering feel between the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models. The steering in our AWD test vehicle had a feel that could be called rubbery, weakening the connection between the vehicle and the driver. The steering on our FWD model was much better. The steering is tuned a bit differently on FWD and AWD chassis.
One downside of the front-drive model is what is called torque steer: Push hard on the gas pedal, and the steering wheel tugs to one side as the front wheels scramble for traction. This requires the driver to make minor steering corrections to keep the CX-9 going straight. (This is with the gas pedal slammed down, so it may not even be noticeable in most situations.) Torque steer is eliminated in the all-wheel-drive models because some of the power is being sent to the rear, reducing the demand on the front tires.
The AWD model sends most of the power to the front wheels in normal driving. But under hard acceleration, or if the front wheels begin to slip, as much as 50 percent of that power can be sent to the rear wheels. It is an automatic system and does not require the driver to do anything.
The CX-9 has anti-lock brakes to help in an emergency. We found the brake pedal felt slightly soft but overall feedback was reassuring, and it was easy to trim a little or a lot of speed.
The Blind Spot Monitoring system monitors both rear corners of the CX-9 while underway and notifies the driver of vehicles in the detection areas by illuminating the BSM warning light located in the appropriate side mirror. Additionally, the light flashes and a beeper sounds if the driver signals a turn into the path of a detected vehicle.
The Mazda CX-9 is an impressively well-rounded package offering practicality, good standard safety equipment, and style. It's enjoyable to drive, offering sporting road manners, though with a stiffer ride.

So here's something new for you to ignore, like, hate, comment, or fall asleep at your keyboard to.
or http://www.urban-rivals.com/presets/?id_preset=2676609&list in case i got it wrong the first time.. it has been a while
IM_Nem8 Titan Immortality Tuesday 29/10/2013, 16:31
I've been passed 1400 a couple times in my career, and it probably would be more if I wasn't in college right now lol
But getting to the topic, I see that once you get passed 1300, you have to stick to the deck you know all of your weaknesses, and how to minimize and maintain them. A certain level of luck comes into play (in terms of your star count vs your opponent's star count), but for the most part any hand should be able to defend and at least force a tie. Just don't always go for the obvious moves; if you have a big hitter and he has DR soa and sob present, it's probably best to just take the dr and use the least amount of resources.
In terms of deck ideas, there's too many different ways to go about this. My first time ever making 1400 was with True Ninja Cats , I wanted to have two 5* and I just got tsubame. But now with so many bans, and different clan types, I've gotten there with just three solid 4* and mono decks (sentinel, rescue, and jungo). I don't think deck construction has anything to do with getting up the ranks, like it's previously been said, it really just comes down to skill at these levels of play. You have to have good judgment, and knowledge of the clan(s) you're up against. Also, pay attention to the player (national origin and level), you might run into him again

Well life here has been very interesting as it has in many areas of the province in the last week.
Last weekend started with really hot humid weather which resulted in thunderstorms Friday, Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Tornados were spotted and hit some people's homes. Gratitude to God that we are safe, feeling for those who came out of the storms with loss.
Every night we sat up in the wee hours of the morning watching the rain pound down, hail (2 nights) and wind blow.
As farmers we sit there in awe and a realization hits that what you have worked on all spring and part of summer could just be wiped out in a matter of minutes. Thunderstorms for me show me the majesty of God. The constant thunder and lightning one night was just amazing. WOW!
Our crops were okay, a couple got mildly hit, but nothing as serious as some of our neighbors. So again, we are thankful that God spared our crops and yet feel for the ones whose crops were destroyed.
Our phone was down until later on Wednesday. It was interesting not having contact via phone and internet. We had our cell phone on, but not many people know that number. Guess what was one of the first phone calls we got when we were back on the line? A credit card company trying to sign us up. Didn't miss that part!
And to top everything off....I left our camera out in the rain. We had some family fun on Sunday playing outside and I was taking some great pictures and put it down, we went to have our campfire, and I didn't bring the camera with me. We cleaned up, went in, went to bed. In the morning Megan asked me, "Mom, did you bring the camera in?" Oh man! So the camera is in the fix it shop! Thankfully they can fix it but it will be a couple of weeks before we get it back. Just in time for us to go on holidays! Oh well at least we have a video camera!!
We have been planning to go on holidays. We wanted to get our first cut of alfalfa done. We got about half of it baled but when we were just about ready to bale the second half we got rain and rain and rain. So today, the weather and the forcast looked nice, the sun was shining so Mark and Josh went out there to get what hay wasn't drenched with puddles, and guess what??? It started raining!!!
So as you can see the last few days have been a test, ups and downs. But in the end it is all just stuff. We have God's love and enduring promises, we have our loved ones. Life is amazing! God is amazing!
Here are some family pictures 'before' I left the camera in the rain!
Go Nate Go!
You're never too cool to play croquet!
Pausing for a photo
There's always time to pet a kitty!
Who can resist those eyes!?!

Students to confront a free market
Australia's peak university group says it's just a matter of time before student fees are deregulated - but how much more students should be charged required careful limits.
Universities Australia chair Professor Glyn Davis delivered a National Press Club address in which he said this year's historic deregulation of university places would also inevitably lead to some universities collapsing or amalgamating.
At a two-day Canberra conference attracting academics and vice-chancellors from around the country, Professor Davis said the market would fundamentally reshape the way universities functioned over the coming years.
''From now on universities must compete directly for students. Should they fail to attract sufficient load, amalgamation or closure must follow,'' he said.
While this year has seen a record half a million students enrol in higher education - ''indeed almost every candidate who applied anywhere in Australia was offered a chance to study''- Professor Davis warned that ''for individual institutions to go on growing at this rate, they must win students from each other.''
''Australia's universities have been set on the path to fierce competition … The competition, already vigorous, will be unremitting.''
With the federal government under pressure to fund this new expansion, Professor Davis said the next logical step of deregulation would be to examine price controls on course fees.
But he said Australia was asking for more private contribution to degree costs from students than just about any OECD nation.
The current fee regime was ''irrational'' and based on historic decisions by successive governments. The recent Lomax-Smith base funding review has recommended halving the fees of students in law, accounting and economics students while doubling science degree fees, but the government has yet to make its response.
Professor Davis said the issue needed to be addressed as it left Australia in a bizarre conundrum, in which student places were fully deregulated, yet student fees were strictly controlled by government.
Describing the system as ''the love child of Milton Friedman and Vladimir Lenin'', Professor Davis' preference was that fees would be deregulated - with ''adequate constraints on ceilings, equity and sensible regulation''.
''If we are to have an open market, then universities must be able to compete, at least to a reasonable extent, on price.''
He noted the personal income gain by a university graduate compared with a year 12 graduate was $1.5 million.
The community needed to consider ''how much can you ask of students'' and ''how many benefits flow to society'' once a student graduates.
Meanwhile, the conference heard the federal government is likely to shift its focus for university funding to completions rather than enrolments.
Tertiary Education Minister Chris Evans responded to research this week showing university entrance scores are the lowest in the nation's history.
Senator Evans said the notion that opening up access would result in lower quality university education was insulting to universities and insulting to students, but he agreed there would need to be more support for those students.
''I'm looking to refocus funding on completions rather than just commencement to make sure the signals to the sector are strong that the purpose of these reforms is to produce graduates not to produce enrolments.''

Lord Carter might have wanted us to start with the communications infrastructure – how fibre-optic cables are the railways of our own industrial revolution or something – but we should really begin with the winners and losers.
The losers from today's Digital Britain 240-page document and 77 proposals are the existing public service broadcasters. And the biggest loser, without doubt, is the BBC. The government – a Labour government let's remember – is suggesting that for the first time ever the TV licence fee will be diverted away from the corporation.
Even Carter, who takes pleasure in the media's parochial obsession with the BBC, admitted it was a "big decision". And it was. The corporation's director-general, Mark Thompson, is unlikely to gain any solace from the idea of a big public consultation coming to his aid. It really won't matter how many people say they love the BBC and want to fund it in Carter's world. All the consultation will do is play around the edges – perhaps making a direct link between the profits of BBC Worldwide and the provision of local news in some kind of "foundation", for example, to be administered by the BBC Trust. But that's it. If they're lucky.
Thompson could claim that the corporation has kept Channel 4's hands off BBC Worldwide and its lucrative overseas rights for sparkly dance shows – but even here, there is a catch. BBC Worldwide could, after all, become a significant global rights business for Britain. Therefore, and I quote from the summary of the report: "restricting it to a narrow supporting role to the BBC would be a missed opportunity".
There are also further warnings. The 3.5% of the BBC licence fee that equates to the £130m currently used for the digital help scheme will become a contestible fund that could fund a whole range of struggling areas such as local news and children's TV. But that could come from a reduced licence fee in the future. So basically: enjoy the £3.6bn this year, guys, because it's never going to be this big again.
As for Channel 4, all that posturing, all those documents, all that corporate grief – for what? A tighter remit. There is the same amount of money, just more things to spend it on. At the end of a nine-month consultation the state-owned, ad-funded broadcaster is back exactly where the consultants found it – still trying to come up with a commercial plan that meets BBC Worldwide's agreement, while Five, and others, salivate in the wings. In fact, the government's specific statement on state aid yesterday means that it is unlikely to countenance a trip to Brussels on behalf of those in Horseferry Road.
By leaving Channel 4 in limbo, did Carter and the government bottle it? Having slapped this idea of a contestable funding mechanism on the BBC, Carter and his team lost the will to make them do a deal with Andy Duncan. They were left offering a pat on the back if – and it's a big if – the two sides manage to come up with a deal before, well, the summer.
The biggest winner has to be Carter's alma mater, Ofcom. Leave aside the poisoned chalice that is the new remit to police illegal downloaders (and that really could turn into a bitter pill) and Ofcom is left looking like a much more powerful organisation. I lost track of the number of times the report suggests "giving" Ofcom this or making it do that.
As well as taking a bigger role in the provision of local news and regulating mergers, Ofcom will carry out a review of the whole communications industry every two years, bringing it closer to lording it over the BBC – as well as everyone else – than ever before. On the downside, Carter said that he could imagine those clever former colleagues of his could do that without any additional resources at all – although of course he won't be there to say no to more resources after this summer. And if he does end up on the other side of the fence at a commercial organisation, he can only hope the regulator will remember today's largesse. As expected, ITV and Five have been given carte blanche to jettison all those annoying public service obligations. But then we knew that they would.
Local news organisations will also benefit from government help, an idea that has proved controversial in some quarters – largely local newspaper groups that have benefited from fat margins for many years and now see no way out but even more mergers – but the funds will be there if they are willing to take them.
Whatever else, Bill Bush's quip that rarely have so many queued for so little on the way into Carter's presentation was ill-founded. There's a lot there and we'll be debating and discussing it for months to come. The question is how much of it will be implemented in the dying days of an administration. Cameron's Tories have hardly sounded pro-BBC to date.
Carter started his presentation to the press yesterday by saying there would be prizes for those of us who found real errors as opposed to typos. Apart from lobbing a £6-a-year tax on us all in the depths of a recession, can anyone find any more? The prize for the best answer is as yet undecided – but don't hold your breath for a well-paid job at the BBC.

Maymo the dog is less bark and more bite when it comes to taking down an inflatable shark
We all can't be as crafty as Ian Ziering.
Not only has the former 90210 star landed at the helm of a career-catapulting franchise like SyFy's Sharknado, but his character in the tongue-in-cheek thriller, Fin Shepard, comes up with the most magnificent way to bring down the weather system spewing sharks in the sequel, Sharknado: The Second One, which aired on Wednesday: He throws a tank of Freon inside of it and when a shark swallows him whole he chainsaws his way out. Pure genius.
Maymo the dog takes a much more minimalist approach when he finds a Sharknado (aka a shark balloon) floating around his living room.
First, he scopes out the scene, seemingly trying to figure out what exactly it's going to take to fin-ish the replica of the ocean's most feared predator.
Next thing we know, Maymo quite literally jumps the shark and the marine mammal is, well, shark fin toast.

Signed into law on July 1, Nigeria's Pension Reform Act 2014 requires private sector employees, under certain conditions, to participate in a new compulsory contributory pension scheme. With higher rates and a broader scope for participation under the Scheme, international assignees to/from Nigeria and their employers will see increased pension-related costs and administrative burdens.
Private sector employees, under certain conditions, will be required to participate in a new Nigerian compulsory contributory pension scheme, under the terms of a new law.
On 1 July 2014, Nigeria's President signed the Pension Reform Act 2014 ("PRA 2014" or the "Act") into law.1 PRA 2014, which repeals the Pension Reform Act No 2 of 2004, governs and regulates the administration of the new contributory pension scheme ("the Scheme") in Nigeria.
This Flash International Executive Alert provides a brief summary of some of the key provisions contained in the version of the Act signed by the President.
Now Nigerian employees, whether in the private or public sector, will have the framework and means to save in preparation for their retirement and receive adequate retirement benefits as and when due. The Act takes a stronger stance (as compared with the rules under the Pension Reform Act No. 2 of 2004) to protect the participants under the scheme and ensure enough funds are available for them at retirement.
This new statute means, however, that there will be new fiscal and administrative responsibilities on the part of employers in terms of proper documentation, payroll deductions, remittances, etc., as well as new costs tied to employment. Employees participating in the scheme will also see their disposable incomes affected once their contributions, effected through payroll deductions, kick in.
International assignees to/from Nigeria and their employers who are subject to these rules will see their pension-related costs go up. The minimum rate of pension contribution under the previous rules was 15 percent (with employee and employer contributing 7.5 percent each); now, under the new rules the rate is set at a minimum of 18 percent (with contributions from employee and employer rising to 8 percent and 10 percent respectively).
The version of the Act signed by the President does not provide a commencement date. In such a situation, and pending the possible proposal of a commencement date by the Pension Commission, the date of presidential assent (i.e.,1 July 2014) should be assumed to be the commencement date.
The newly enacted Pension Reform Act, 2014, repeals a 2004 law, and provides for the following (in summary):
1 For more information on the new pension reform law, see the website for the National Pension Commission: http://www.pencom.gov.ng/.
For a more complete examination of the Act, see "The Pension Reform Act 2014" (July 2014), published by KPMG Advisory Services in Nigeria, a member firm of KPMG International.

Volunteer Midwifery Placements in Ghana
- Placement location: Cape Coast, Dodowa
- Role: To work alongside local midwives and gain valuable work experience
- Type of placements: Hospitals and clinics

- What's not included? Flights, visa costs, spending money
- Length of placement: From 2 weeks
- Start dates: Flexible
Volunteering as a Midwife in Ghana will provide you with invaluable experience in the midwifery field. Midwifery techniques are likely to be different from what you are used to and you will learn a lot about how midwives work in Ghana. You will find yourself coming into contact with pregnant women experiencing complications that you are not used to in Europe and North America. These include malaria and typhoid. You will find this experience challenging but rewarding.
Midwifery volunteers work in Cape Coast at the main regional hospital. It is one of the more modern hospitals in Ghana, with a wide range of departments and a large amount of new equipment. When you first arrive at the hospital you will discuss your work schedule with the Projects Abroad co-ordinator and the placement supervisor, who will be a member of the hospital staff. You will take on the role of an intern, shadowing and learning form hospital midwives. Your qualifications and experience will determine how much responsibility you can take on in the hospital.
There is also the opportunity to work in the town of Dodowa. Volunteers with no medical experience will be placed in Dodowa, as there is more supervision and instruction for those who are there on an observational and learning basis. Volunteers with medical experience, but who are not fully qualified may be based at either location.
While volunteering in Ghana you will live with local host-families. As one of our most popular destinations, there will always be a large Projects Abroad volunteer community for you to meet up with outside of working hours.
You can read more detailed information about the aims of the project in our Ghana Medicine & Healthcare Management Plan.

Happy clients say:
I'm now leading the way I always envisioned, because of the tools I learned from working with you. My team has gelled and I'm confident in their ability to handle our high-stakes projects while I'm out on leave. I even look forward to our staff meetings! Before, I was too polite and the team suffered. I used to worry about my every move and what people thought. Now I'm confident and don't let bad behavior or my own frustration prevail! I also own more of the conversation with my boss and take the initiative with my peers in my areas of expertise – even though I'm the youngest leader. You coaching me has benefitted them in ways they'll never know!
Your keen and supportive conversation has shifted mountains for me! I moved from feeling alone and sorry for myself to ignited and inspired – you are incredible at doing this! Your ability to see what's needed to be said in the moment not only provided deep insight but I am now in action and miles away from the struggles I felt. Instead of pity for myself and 'being stuck' I'm determined to fail quickly and not make it mean anything about who I am or my abilities. ~ C.M.
Susana's coaching has hugely impacted me in my own experience of clarity and authenticity, and amplified my ability to make the impact and create the results I want. She is highly intuitive, graceful in her skills and has a depth of experience, perspective and context to bring to the coaching situation. I highly recommend her as your coach to be better positioned to get the results you care about and are committed to. ~Primitivo Rojas-Cheatham
Susana's experience enables her to get to the root of the matter quicklywithout you feeling shoved or pushed. She demonstrates superb listening and empathy skills to support your work. And she is clear that it is the client's work. I was so happy that she followed up in a timely manner — that helped me keep myself accountable as well. ~Jillian Gonzales
Susana is very knowledgeable, compassionate and works from a social justice lens. She is also embodied, which I loved. After working with her, I felt connected to myself, in my body and able to access more of myself. I was able to write a compassionate and fierce email that was eventually received really well! ~Laura H.
Susana's ability to explore one's perspective and shift focus with resonant metaphors to gain deeper clarity through the call, along with key action questions left me with more value in 30 minutes than other coaching processes I've tried. Thank you Susana! You are an ignited leader, supporter and perspective clarifier. I'm making rapid shifts from your process and am now focused on the questions I want to answer in my life. ~Chris Montoya
Recommended! Susana was really personable and professional. She validated my insights and concerns, and was sure I left our conversation with some clear action items. She helped me articulate my concerns in a way that will help me communicate more effectively with my teammates, and identify some next steps that make me feel like my project is more manageable. I no longer feel as isolated knowing she is there to support me and I feel tremendous relief in the clarity I got from our short conversation. ~Nancy Loso
I enjoyed the ease of connection, the depth reached within a short period of time, the open and non-judgemental curiosity, the sense of empowerment I have from very tangible and relevant action steps. The reflections helped me to see my situation from a higher perspective, not from within my own experience. I have more understanding and empathy for myself, and am more accepting that what I am experiencing is valid and will pass. I am also feeling inspired to be more proactive and take things into my own hands where I have been giving power away. ~Kerstin G.
I felt well listened to and inspired by Susana's reflections on my current situation and my desires for the future. I appreciate her intuitive, thoughtful and open nature. I look forward to her accompaniment in my process of creating the work life I envision! ~Sue Kuyper
You brought me back to what's important in a nice way. You listened, were curious, and were there with me the whole time. I was mostly judging myself, but I didn't feel judgment from you. You're calm but energetic — a great balance!

A Certified Professional Coach
I am a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) through Leadership that Works' Accredited Coach Training Program and an Associate Certified Coach (ACC), credentialed by the International Coach Federation (ICF). According to the 2017 ICF Global Consumer Awareness Study, clients who worked with an ICF Credential-holder were more likely to be satisfied with their coaching experience and recommend coaching to others, and 83% of coaching clients reported that it was important for coaches to hold a credential. Leadership That Works' Coaching for Transformation program was an excellent fit for me, since it's the only major coach training program that includes diversity and social change in its curriculum and core values. Discerning clients prefer to work with CPCs because we undergo extensive training and evaluation to be certified, and are held to the professional standards of the International Coach Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics. I'm also an active member of the ICF. Finally, I'm a licensed practitioner/coach in PRINT®, a breakthrough model of human motivation and behavior that was developed by The Paul Hertz Group. PRINT® is the best tool I've found to help clients understand what they truly want and why, identify their core strengths and weaknesses, and take action to create situations where they thrive.
Diversity and Leadership Coaching in Organizations
I'm the rare coach that does diversity and leadership coaching. I specialize in equipping managers to be more effective leading "diverse" reports and teams, and communicating effectively across differences. I'm also skilled at facilitating excellence and effectiveness in those leading D&I (diversity and inclusiveness) efforts in their organizations, and also in employees or managers who are members of historically marginalized groups like women, people of color and younger professionals. Not only am I a Certified Professional Coach I've been there — I've lead teams of diverse individuals myself, and headed the D&I initiative at a major state organization. Read my bio for more information about my background related to diversity and leadership coaching.

Somalia: Legal rights
(measure: points; Source: The World Bank)
* indicates monthly or quarterly data series
Somalia: Index of legal rights for creditors and borrowers (0 = weak to 12 = strong): For that indicator, The World Bank provides data for Somalia from 2015 to 2018. The average value for Somalia during that period was 0 points with a minimum of 0 points in 2015 and a maximum of 0 points in 2015. See the global rankings for that indicator or use the country comparator to compare trends over time.

The index of legal right for creditors and borrowers in Somalia ranges from 0 (no rights) to 10 (strong rights). Stronger legal rights such as efficient bankruptcy procedures, rules for financial disclosure, clear property rights, etc. facilitate lending.
Definition: Strength of legal rights index measures the degree to which collateral and bankruptcy laws protect the rights of borrowers and lenders and thus facilitate lending. The index ranges from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating that these laws are better designed to expand access to credit.
