An article in the New York Times reports on how the recent upheavals in the Middle East and northern Africa changed the role of higher education in the region, creating a greater need for engaging with institutions outside the region, standardizing curriculums, and finding alternative sources of financing. In an interview with the reporter at the World Innovation Summit for Education in Qatar, Rajika Bhandari, deputy vice president of research and evaluation at the Institute of International Education, said: "It is likely that the Arab Spring will certainly affect the governance system of higher education, probably in the direction of more independence, participation, and partnerships."
The article specifically addresses a research report that IIE produced, with support from Carnegie Corporation of New York and in partnership with the Lebanese Association of Educational Studies (LAES), entitled: "Classifying Higher Education Institutions in the Middle East and North Africa: A Pilot Study." The first of its kind, the two-year study aims to develop a classification model for higher education institutions in the region and features research on 300 higher education institutions in Lebanon, Jordan, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. "There is no standardized framework for understanding the region's institutions," Bhandari notes. "Having more comparable information like this will lead to a deeper understanding of the wide range of institutions in the Arab world and how they must be financed and supported." A draft version of the report will be available at www.iie.org/research on November 15, to be followed by a printed version of the final report.

An article in Inside Higher Ed examines a new report released by the American Council on Education entitled, "Strength through Leadership: U.S. Higher Education in the 21st Century." This report, the result of an 18-month study by college and university presidents, "urges American colleges and universities to be more strategic about how they view international efforts, to recognize that the growth of higher education opportunities in the rest of the world challenges historic U.S. dominance in some areas, and offers a draft set of principles to guide American colleges' efforts."

For its Fall 2011 issue on innovation in international education, the IIENetworker staff interviewed Dr. Ángel Cabrera, president of Thunderbird School of Global Management. Dr. Cabrera is a world-renowned global leader and management educator whose work and expertise has been recognized and tapped by top international organizations. The World Economic Forum named Dr. Cabrera a "Global Leader for Tomorrow" in 2002 and chairman of the Global Agenda Council for promoting entrepreneurship in 2008. In 2007, the United Nations asked him to chair the international taskforce that developed the "Principles for Responsible Management Education," a voluntary framework to promote global corporate citizenship.
In the interview, Dr. Cabrera talks about the role that business education plays in educating global citizens, how institutions with limited resources can expand access to international opportunities, and how internationalization efforts can serve institutions, faculty, and students.

An article in the Chronicle of Higher Education discusses the author's experience attending and preparing for sessions at the World Innovation Summit for Education in Doha. This summit brought together a wide range of participants from around the globe, mixing those interested in primary and secondary education with those interested in higher education. "Allan E. Goodman, president of the Institute of International Education, the U.S.-based nonprofit organization that is one of the WISE partners, said the conference serves a real need. 'The higher-education sectors in a lot of countries can be very isolated,' he said. Conference participants discover that 'something that can be done in Colombia can also be done in Cambodia.'"

An op-ed on the Association of International Education Administrator's (AIEA) website by William B. Lacy, Vice Provost of University Outreach and International Programs at the University of California, Davis, recounts the impact and importance of international exchange programs on the 50th anniversary of the Fulbright-Hays Act, which authorized the Exchange Visitor Program (EVP). As Lacy remarks, the EVP, which is administered by the U.S. Department of State, continues to be relevant by helping to build international bridges, equip students with greater cultural understanding, and provide "opportunities for international participants to experience America and get to know Americans in a diverse range of ways."

Increasing Effectiveness of the Community College Financial Model: A Global Perspective for the Global Economy depicts the challenges and responses of community college financing in an era where funding has declined. The theoretically-based chapters highlight issues of leadership, governance, and financing models for institutional change. The case studies profile success stories from community colleges around the world.
Edited by Stewart Sutin, Daniel Derrico, Rosalind Latiner Raby, and Edward Valeau, this book appeals to community college stakeholders and those interested in and committed to strengthening and sustaining the financial conditions of community colleges and their global counterparts. It offers new perspectives about ways that community colleges can and do develop cultures of financial self-reliance in an era of declining government appropriations and worries about affordable tuition for students. Moreover, this is one of the few books dedicated to the topic of community college finance and is the first book that examines this issue in a variety of community college global counterparts around the world.

So I'm going to have a go at trying something new: regular, small pieces of new art.
Something all the way scratch to finish…
Because it's good to actually finish things.
I'm writing a graphic novel script right now, which is taking a while and doesn't have any visual excitement about it… Yet.
(It occurred to me that this might seem like some kind of New Year Resolution, but it's actually just complete coincidence.)
Full disclosure: I'm going to base these on the role-playing game I'm running right now, because it doesn't just come out of my head, but the heads of the people around me too. Group exercise!
The game is AEG's Samurai-themed RPG 'The Legend of the Five Rings' RPG, Fourth Edition. (The Fifth Edition of the "L5R" RPG has just come out from Fantasy Flight Games, but the game started just before the print versions were available, so we skipped it for now.)
By default, the game happens in a Fantasy / Far-Eastern fiction trope mishmash, but I'm running it in a more grounded way, leaning a bit more towards a historical bent with no big magical spells, people transcending to godhood all the time and anything like that.
The system is great at fielding all kinds of different player characters and one thing that really sets it apart is that players can choose to be 'Courtier' characters, so all of their skills are to do with influencing other high-ranking nobility, politicking, intrigue, one-upmanship in the social order and chicanery. No other game the vintage of "L5R" gets this kind of role-playing, character development and plot-focused storytelling running quite so quickly and easily.
The working title of this little series is 'The Samurai Tragedy of Bayushi Castle'. Here's the first one.

The Cameroonian-born artist went to the US at the age of 10. He had to learn English, considering he arrived only speaking French and his native Bamoun. Years of hard work later, he is now a top-name contender. He released his debut album Nothing Sounds The Same in 2015.

Does Hobo Make a Good Beard Oil & Balm?
Hobo has done a great job of getting some of the best ingredients that you would want in a oil & balm without the greasy side effect that you can sometimes get from mixing oils. Like any product that contains jojoba and almond oil you can guarantee that you will love the way your beard feels after the first time you oil up. While they lack the extensive selection that some of the other top companies have don't let that scare you away, it's been my experience that sometimes the quality gets lost when a company's pure focus is increasing the quantity of products so they appeal to a larger market.
Bundle Your Beard Products
With one of the least expensive bundle/holiday packs you can appreciate the fact that they
don't up charge you per product when you buy one of their bulk packs. As you learned in our article on beard oil for hair growth a bundle pack is a perfect solution for anyone wanting to create a face that is ripe for growing the best beard on the block. Especially with the quality of ingredients that Hobo puts into each of their products.

Flunk For Sleepyheads Only
Published Feb 01, 2003This Norwegian trio, fronted by Anja Oyen Vister wants this to be a cool, atmospheric chill-out album with the inspired swan-song vocals of Vister. The trouble is that it is another stab at a well-trodden genre, which is doubly worsened by Vister's uncanny vocal resemblance to Björk, without any of Björk's innovations as a producer. A few tracks start out promisingly enough, such as their cover of New Order's "Blue Monday," or the melancholy-tinged sarangi sample endlessly looping in "Indian Rope Trick," but the overall mood is so well catered for "sleepyheads" that it is basically repetitious and unimaginative. Another one for the bargain bins. (Guidance)

Pathways to Vitality
with Jackie Bensinger, L.Ac.
Scheduled on
|1:30 pm
|2:00 pm
Tagged as: Pathways to Vitality
Jackie has had a family acupuncture practice in San Diego for nearly 25 years. She has dedicated her life to healing work and educating folks about how natural and western medicine can work together for the best result for the patient. After graduating from acupuncture school, she apprenticed with a Taiwanese master of acupuncture for eight years gaining graduate studies in acupuncture, herbal medicine, Qigong and Feng Shui. In addition to her degree in Chinese medicine she has a B.A. and two years toward a M.A. in the arts plus certifications in Reiki healing and Qigong. Although Jackie lives in the city of San Diego she is at heart a country girl from a small town from Southwest Virginia with a big message and passion about the power of natural medicine.
Jackie's practice includes Chinese herbal medicine, anti-oxident supplements, medical Qigong treatments and the use of the Class I medical device call the Bemer, best known for increasing small vessel blood flow. Her specialties encompass the treatment of pain, immune and stress-related disorders, and female and male infertility.
Ms. Bensinger's treatment style is a body, mind, spirit approach that is personalized for every patient. Jackie likes to quantify the condition (pain, anxiety, sleep disorders, or whatever the treatment is addressing) in order to clearly communicate the number of treatments needed to resolve the condition. As the condition improves, the number of treatments reduce from twice a week to weekly to every other week, etc. At this point, a "tune up" once a month is suggested.
In addition, Jackie does Feng Shui consultations for the home and office which may correlate with health issues. She holds events in her office at the equinoxes and solstices teaching about the meaning of the seasonal changes. At these events and nationally she has taught Feng Shui, Qigong, meditation and tips on staying healthy using the anti-inflammatory diet and Chinese medicine.
Jackie has appeared on local television on several occasions speaking about the value of Chinese medicine, had her own radio show called "Pathways to Vitality" and hosted a local internet radio show about health and healing. She edited an acupuncture textbook and has written several articles on how Chinese medicine addresses specific conditions.
For more information, visit her website or Facebook page.

Yuvraj Singh's Wife Hazel Keech Reveals His "Biggest Drawback"
British-Mauritian model Hazel Keech tied the knot with Yuvraj Singh on November 30, 2016.
Hazel Keech revealed the "biggest drawback" of her husband and Indian cricket team all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. The British-Mauritian model made the stunning revelation about Yuvraj during an interview with television presenter Gaurav Kapur on popular YouTube show Miss Field. Hazel said the Indian cricketer never bad-mouths anyone. "He (Yuvraj) never bad-mouths anyone, and that's one of the things I love about him, but it's also one of his drawbacks," Keech said. She married Yuvraj on November 30, 2016, and since then, has been spotted supporting him from the stands during the Indian Premier League (IPL). Last season, Yuvraj represented the Preity Zinta-owned Kings XI Punjab.
Explaining why she feels so, Keech said, "He sees the best in everybody, but he doesn't necessarily always see the reality in them. He's just got a really good heart."
Keech also opened up about the early troubles she faced with Yuvraj, precisely when he had resumed international cricket.
"We got married, and he had already started playing for the Indian team. So he had got picked for India again. We got married, had a honeymoon and boom...he was gone. And then, I really didn't see him for months," she said.
Yuvraj made his last appearance on the international circuit against the Windies on June 30, 2017 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
The 36-year-old has played 40 Tests, 304 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 58 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) for India.
In the longest format of the game, Yuvraj has amassed 1,900 runs at an average of 33.92. He averages 36.55 in ODIs and a little over 28 in T20Is.

AI and Machine Learning: Empowering FCMs to Boost Operating Efficiency
Financial firms are toeing the waters of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) with focused initiatives to enhance operations and make more informed decisions. Some of the largest financial institutions in the U.S. are using AI to execute some trades and apply the technology toward detecting fraud. The ability to use this emerging technology to solve for specific issues is part of what makes it compelling and why startups with targeted-use applications are proliferating.
While the technology promises to provide data-driven insights into the processes that run your business and lead to lower costs, better risk controls and more efficient operations, it is not expected to give rise to an enterprise-wide revolution so much as an evolution. Quietly and gradually, application by application, AI and ML are expected to turn today's higher cost and labor-intensive tasks into machine-based activities, freeing up staff for more client-facing activity.
Defining Terms: The Difference Between AI and ML
AI and ML are not one and the same. AI applications attempt to process language, understand complex data sets, and then synthesize the analysis into conclusions—much like humans do. As a result, AI is being applied to more cognitive tasks. For instance, it is being used to make chatbots more helpful and the information they communicate more personalized.
ML is a close cousin, but more analytical. Its best use is in sifting through immense amounts of data, seeking complex patterns and any gaps or deviations from standards. ML programs help with predictability and classification tasks, making it more appropriate for back- and middle-office activities.
Both AI and ML are iterative in that these applications learn from experience. Self-coding learners that they are, they improve on their own, as experience in a task accumulates. As such, they require minimal additional new coding and continually update themselves, minimizing the disruption and costs associated with upgrading. AI and ML applications are essentially their own latest version.
What the Technology Can Do
While companies and external investors are making investments in AI, more dollars have been flowing toward the development of ML applications. According to a 2016 McKinsey Global Institute Study, 60 percent of the $8 to $12 billion in AI funding went specifically into ML due to the quicker coding capability.
Where financial service applications are concerned, many of the applications that have emerged so far are focused on trading. For example, they seek to enhance the information available to traders, improve the efficiency of execution and post-trade processing, and strengthen the protections against misconduct. These ML applications are essentially tools that enhance the work humans do by empowering them with better information.
Accordingly, the types of back-office tasks that the technology is expected to enhance, speed up, and eventually take over include:
- Document scanning and the parsing of the content each piece contains for use by other programs.
- Spotting errors, fraud and deviations from policy faster so preventive actions may be taken or noncompliant violations can be investigated, reported, and addressed sooner.
- Improving the confidence level of counterparties to a transaction through quicker verification and confirmation.
- Optimizing processing, authorizing, and identifying the need for margin calls.
- Providing ongoing, real-time information regarding a firm's capital on-hand and the accurate segregation of client funds from their firm funds.
- Risk assessment across a firm's entire exposure.
What the technology can't do is overcome bad data. The same problem that undermines less powerful technology still holds true—bad data in leads to bad data out. Ensuring the quality of the inputs is even more vital to the effectiveness of AI and ML-based programs and apps, since the technology is constantly building on its "knowledge base."
The technology is also susceptible to an added complication: programming biases. If it isn't monitored, it can inadvertently pursue a biased learning pattern that could lead to poor decision-making. Guarding against that is where humans come in.
Upgrading the Trade Settlement Process
While ML might be applied to speed up the way trades are executed, confirmed and settled, its best use is likely to be in exception processing. Instead of having middle-office employees go through the labor-intensive process of identifying the reasons behind a trade being rejected, then investigating, confirming and fixing the trade, ML applications may be able to take over error resolution.
ML can also be used to analyze historical data on failed trades to understand the causes and learn to identify the underlying factors for quicker intervention and possibly even prevention. This would not only reduce exceptions and their related costs, it could eventually do so before a client's account, a firm's trading limit, or the clearing firm's capital position are impacted.
Better Compliance
Across the industry, AI and ML technology that helps enforce regulations and keeps firms compliant is also receiving attention and investment. These applications have the potential to sort through vast amounts of data looking for patterns that can flag instances of noncompliance—intentional and unintentional. This would result in quicker action on both the part of firms and their regulators.
A Disruption for the Bottom Line
For FCMs and securities firms, making better use of data is the promise of this emerging technology. More than decreasing the uncertainty systemic to trade execution, it can empower you to make better informed decisions about your capital needs and operations. In that sense, AI and ML applications could be well-timed solutions for the problems your firm faces today.

'...and while we are at it can we stop the stigma'

Christmas in the afternoon
Dear Diary,
It's Christmas. My parents are quite happy right now, my mum is happy with the gift, my dad with the olive branch. We are waiting for a couple of people to come over, Eileen's husband and my brother. Eileen's husband is a bit insufferable, not least because I think he killed his family with his attitude, my brother's balding head depresses me as a spectre of what is to come.
Last year, Eileen and her husband were here, they were pretty sad as it was the second year without their son. Now for Joffrey, its the first year wtihout his wife. Christmas is supposed to be a happy time. I'll try to remember that. My brother is quite happy, he has a great girlfriend and she's really fun and although sometimes quiet, she is caring and sweet and great with kids, something that's useful when she has her own nieces. Bro moved in with her earlier this year and his new business is going fairly well. It's nice that he's sorted out his job situation: by becoming his own boss!
and what about me? That's always the qeustion when I'm around my successful friends. What about me? I don't really know to be honest. I wish I could do more with my life. I'm doing a lot and maybe I could do more, but I do think I'm pushing myself harder than most people do. The reality is, I'm not the one with the mortgage, girlfriend or successful career and they are. Good for them, I just wish I had something going like that. I guess I am jealous. I'm not going to drink today. My misery deserves to be acknowledged to its full and to a sober degree, no overemphasis with alcohol and likewise, no ignoring my problems through alcohol.
Mum's got the turkey in the oven, dad's doing phone calls. I'm on the computer. Maybe one day I'll think of days like these fondly. For now, I'm hoping of a better tomorrow. Maybe I should just enjoy that I'm still in my 20s!
Monday, December 24, 2012
I'm reading through my book review book and it has been thought provoking in a variety of ways. Not least thinking about Nietzsche. I am reminded of something Laura said to me once. Laura said that there are lots of bad memories sure, but we can make new memories. I was thinking about this beccause perhaps there's another way of looking at the past. Maybe we can revise our beliefs about the past. See such beliefs in a context of other things going on.
In that way perhaps its not so dire. In that way its perhaps not so shit.
I'm thinking about Adora, the girl I broke up with. I feel like such a cunt right now. I feel sorry for her, Adora had two disabled parents and I realised how she held everything up in her family. I also realise how I loved her. I never told her, there was no need. It still would need to end.
Had a fight with dad earlier. It's coloured my sensibilities right now. It lingers like a bad sore. I hate what he is making me. I hate what this situation is making me. I'm trying my best to oppose it, but the stupour, the air around me brings me down. I just want to escape.
say less and listen more.
I had a realisation at the gym today.
I don't have the courage to challenge myself. Often I speak about values. I speak of values that people should uphold, and implicitly those are the values which I hold myself up to, and often of times I think that I uphold to about 70% of it, sometimes 90% of it. I was pushing myself at the gym today, but I realised my limitations. Realising said limitiations became a troubling thing for me.
I think the saying goes: you can dish it out but you can't take it.
I pushed myself but I ran out of steam. I've been pushing myself for the past week that the days have a different kind of meaning to me. Pushing my body at the gym intensively has made me think a little about the ways in which I don't push myself, I've been thinking a bit more about my flaws.I have quite a few of them. Perhaps I should just say less and listen more. Perhaps there are analgoues of this: play less and practice more. Write less and read more. stay upright more and lay down more.

a 'something's gotta give' day
Dear Diary.
I'm feeling tired as fuck. Lots of family related shit yesterday. Lots of gym this week. I had 1 class, a badminton session and 3 training days with my friend. I also sent off stuff on ebay, did christmas shopping, applied to a few jobs, got an interview invitation, started on my book review and trying to get it all under my belt without sweating too much.
Today is one of those 'something's gotta give' moments. I'm so fucking tired, I feel so damned drained. My most immediate feeling and desire is to crawl into bed, close my eyes and just be with my thoughts, be with my fatigue. A few things have been on my mind lately.
- Thinking about Autism. I've heard a lot of people say to me that they think I have autism, now I usually reply that I haven't and that I've been checked by an educational psychologist. But it worries me that despite being assessed people still think I have autism because of the way I behave
- Thinking about identity. Lately I've been thinking about my dad and the ethnic-cultural community that we belong to. My dad has said many things to the effect that the culture that he once knew growing up is all but gone, and its making me think about my cultural identity. I can identify with the present and there are lots of things that can form a cultural identity, and my cultural identity. But I do feel like there are things which ...are being erased about me, as if I'm the last of my kind or of a declining number. The generation of my grandparents (even though both are death) from my father's side were migrants to Africa, as they migrated their children (my dad's generation) lost a big part of their indian identity and what remains is fragmentary and incomplete. When my dad migrated to England he abandoned a lot of his African identity and the indian part even less of a flicker of presence. It makes me a bit sad thinking about the african indians who have less to identify with culturally. It makes me feel sad as i am a descendant of one of them.
- Another thing: every day that passes I feel a little bit of me dies. Like a hair from my youth falls and eventually I will be a bald husk.
This week has been busy. I've been resilient and I've pushed myself in unusual and difficult ways. I feel that observing a day of rest might actually be helpful for me. Especially in the run up to Christmas.

christmas cheer.
Dear Diary,
at the moment I'm about to head off and get some christmas shopping done as well as sending off some items on Ebay that I've sold. I think one was an unused Christmas present and the other is a shirt belonging to my brother that he won't notice has gone, since he hasn't lived here for 5 years or so.
So, now I'm not triggering just keeping active, walking around a lot. Christmas was going to be a quiet one, however, i do think it will be quiet, but not as quiet as I think it was going to be. Lots going on still. I think I have enough to get on with today. More than enough.
No time to dither. Today was surprisingly easy to get out of bed. I wish I knew why. Maybe it's the christmas cheer. One of my oldest friends is coming back to london, and I'm kind of excited about that too.
Onwards. Upwards? We'll see.

Nothing like 2am thoughts on sunday morning.
Dear Diary,
So Adora and I have sort of broken up. I guess it's for the better. She's kind of doing the backhanded compliment-insult thing now. I guess I deserve that. I'm not really as shaken by it. I guess the saying is: easy come easy go...
So I have been involved in another writing project. That's kind of nice. I have a lot more free time now that work is finished. That's also nice. I've been archiving for most of tonight. Also doing a touch of catch up, but not enough.
I was thinking about something on the tube the other day. I've been on the tube a lot this week due to work, and I was quite upset. I think I was visibly upset as well. I was thinking about the past and whether I have truly let go of what happened. Am I able to let go? or is that still a problem of mine? I'm able to let go of Adora without too much problem, although maybe that's because I never was in a position to let go of hr in the first place.
I can let go of the past. Focus on the now. Yes its shit, just get on with it. That's the way of the Ashkani in the X-Men universe. Accept that things are shit and get on with it. I like that that rhymes.Also, I'm playing Halo 4 a lot. I am kind of excited about Christmas. Actually, I'm exctied about playing halo and meeting friends.
On another front: I've done 2 fitness sessions this week. Garden will count for 3. I've met the minimum. Perhaps this is the only week in the bloody year (probably) in which I've met my quotas!

got to be hard on her.
Dear Diary
The window is open, its quite cold but I find the fresh, crisp winter air a form of satisfaction. Christmas is coming and perhaps this is one of the years (except for maybe 2 years ago) where I am least bothered about it, or at least, right now I'm not so bothered. Christmas is a time for whatever Cliff Richard said it was time for, which I suppose means its a time to be exceptional as a human being.
Exceptional is everything I'm not. I feel like a de-powered mutant after Marvel's M-Day. I used to have powers and now they are gone. I am thinking a fair bit lately about the past, and its a sign things aren't so good in my head. A few days ago I started to think really strange things, which is a sign in my head that things aren't so good right now. Adora is talking about suicide all the time and constantly telling me how she thinks she is pregnant, but she also had sex with a lot of other men. Adora is also suicidal and telling me about it a lot. I can't save her and I shouldn't if I tried. If its suicide its her choice. I'm not going to let Marie's mistake fool me again. I have a lot at stake right now.
Adora has been so difficult lately. I said that she should get professional help, find a GP, get a pregnancy test. Then she seems to retreat and say things like 'well I'm going to die anyway so there's no point' or 'there is x, y, z, barrier'. Then I tell her, 'there was x,y,z barrier and you were aware of this last month, I told you that you need to do a,b,c, for it', and she still hasn't. I really can't get to her. I'm trying. I'm not going to try anymore. I can't cope with her anymore. I can't cope with how difficult she is. Maybe I should break up with her. I feel like such a bastard. I have my own problems now. I have to get out of my fucking parents' place and move into my own home and make a life for myself. I need to do a PhD and find a form of self-worth. I need to be more than I am right now. I need to stop being a fucking loser.I know how it happens with girls like Adora. They want so much attention and want so much but give nothing back. They want someone to hear their woes and be woeful with them but it doesn't help her, it doesn't make her better, she just enjoys being in the depression and until she realises that she needs to change her thinking, any time I give her that supplies that fantasy for her will not help her. I'm being hard, but this cost me my masters 5 years ago. Never again. NEVER AGAIN. I'm screaming inside with a solitary face.
So, what can I say of my life? I started performing again this year, and not much on the work front. I think I managed about 12 interviews this year. Which is kinda nice. I have little to say that is a joy or crowning achievement in my life. I'm working tonight, hopefully getting a taxi home and I'd really like to be in a better off position next year than I was last year.
Here's to hoping, but now, off to do soemthing about it. I told maddy that I won't message her until tomorrow. I told her politely, that I have lots to do today.
dreams of unsuccess
weird dream last night.
I was in the job centre, but it was the physical building of my student union from uni days. and this job centre officer kept telling us 'do you want to get on with your life? do you want to get out of limbo and get on track with everyone else?' and she was shouting at a big group of people, however itwas the physical appearance of my boss at work.
I know dreams don't make sense, but symbolisms are powerful. I also remember being among successful friends and being reminded how different I am because I'm unsuccessful.

I quite like mondays
Dear Diary,
Not been posting much. I will talk about some happy things. I've bought another xbox, thought I might have some fun for Xmas. I'm also bidding on a TV from Ebay. I hope that the xbox will work. Also I'm looking forward to Christmas, spending more than I should. I got over a big amount of my backlog in terms of my reading list and some of the metatask stuff. However I now have a lot to do when I get home later. I have work later, I should leave the house in 30 mins actually. I have badminton on Tuesday, Garden xmas drinks on Tues evening, work on Weds, Drinks with friend on Thurs, Work on Fri. Probably other stuff and something on Saturday. Lots of my week has been defined for me already.
On balance, and here's the negative, its the only week I'm working until about late January. Which isn't good. I have to find alternative measures for income. Ebay perhaps? Need to find a job. I've been applyign a little bit. I applied to that job that a friend suggested. Also thinking of PhD applications. Lots on the menu this week. However now, I'm going to shave, put a shirt on, some deoderant and put on my face for work.

I bought a Gilet at Primark on Monday. I hate primark, because everything is cheap and numerous. That's not the kind of message we should give to the future, of a time when consumption was high and workers were probably oppressed in order to make these cheap clothes. Also I find high street fashion a double edged sword. I like some high street looks and I always want to keep modern, but some things are too edgy and hipster for me.
I never thought I'd say this but when I bought the Gilet I felt I had entered a new realm of style and a new era of style in my life. It really fit me, the wooly jumper and the Gilet. It reminded me of the jumper my sister gave me in the winter of 2005-2006, which I wore all the time and because it was so different to what I normally wore I felt it defined a new era in my sartorial life, it was a start, it led to my other rituals of cord trousers and black shirt, but that wasn't yet to come by 2007-2008. Perhaps this gilet will give me a new way to think about how I present myself in clothes.
Also I'm reminded of something ugly. Those fucking Jack Wills toffs in my classes as an undergraduate, with their 'yahh' toff accents and their nonchalance of priviledge. They were the darlings of middle england who weren't quite good enough for cambridge, just do a little work and they will get their firsts and work in Goldman sachs. I'm reminded of them because they used to wear those fucking Gilets in lectures and seminars all the time. Now I feel like it has come to the high street the poor plebians can pretend to be like them all false aspirational with a warm midsection and cold arms.
Fuck you gilet, for being so warm, fuck you primark, for having occaisional clothes that I actually like.

!!!! On this day (2007; 2012).
was Marie's birthday. I remember that day vividly. I had a lovely pair of levi's cords that tore up and I had to walk home holding up my trousers because the buckle that holds it up broke.
5 years on. I'm sending off an item that i sold on ebay. I've bought a book at trader prices that I saw on FRONT magazine, I'm about to put my coppers into my bank balance and I'm tempted to cancel my trip to the gym today in order to make time for a family friend's 50th birthday. He's a good member of the family. Also there's a lot of christmas drinks coming up. There's one for the garden, there's one for the group associated with the garden; there's one for work; and there's a second one for work. I feel like I have people who know me and see me in a way I don't see myself. I guess you could say I've settled into a life.Maybe that's a good thing.
Enough reflecting. I'm off to the post office.
Saturday, December 1, 2012
Dear Diary,
Days are shorter, junk food is more accessible and I'm feeling a bit shit. Hardly done anything today. Exhausted. Off to a gig later today.

DALLAS – When it comes to family planning and pregnancy-related decisions such as breastfeeding and medication management, patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) receive a wide variety of advice, guidance, and engagement from their health care providers, results from a single-center survey demonstrated.
"We want our patients to feel comfortable when they come to us in their 20s or 30s and they get diagnosed, they're scared, and it's all new to them," one of the study authors, Casey E. Engel said in an interview at the meeting held by the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis. "We want them to know that family planning is something to consider and that they can proceed with having a family with our help and guidance."
In an effort to collect patient-experience data around family planning, pregnancy, and breastfeeding post-MS diagnosis, Ms. Engel and senior author Myla D. Goldman, MD, mailed a survey to 1,000 women with confirmed MS diagnosis who had received care at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. The researchers reported findings from 173 respondents, of whom 70% were receiving specialty care for MS. Most of the survey participants (137) did not become pregnant following their diagnosis, while 36 did.
Of the 137 respondents who did not become pregnant following diagnosis, 22 (16%) indicated that their decision was driven by MS-related concerns, including MS worsening with pregnancy (64%), ability to care for child secondary to MS (46%), lack of knowledge about options for pregnancy and MS (18%), passing MS onto child (18%), and stopping disease-modifying therapy (DMT) to attempt pregnancy (9%).
Of the 36 women who had a pregnancy following diagnosis, 20% reported postpartum depression or anxiety, higher than the national average of 10%-15%. In addition, 79% reported not being on DMT at the time of conception, 9% were on either glatiramer acetate injection or interferon beta-1a at time of conception, and 3% were on fingolimod (Gilenya) at time of conception. The majority reported receiving inconsistent advice about when to discontinue DMT before attempting pregnancy (a range from 0 to 6 months).
"It's also noteworthy that 20% took a year to achieve pregnancy," said Dr. Goldman, a neurologist who directs the university's MS clinic. "If these women stop [their DMT] 6 months in advance and they take a year to achieve pregnancy, that's 18 months without therapeutic coverage. That's a concern to bring to light."
Breastfeeding was reported in 71% of mothers in postdiagnosis pregnancy with a range between 1 week and 10 months, driven in part by variable guidelines regarding DMT reinitiation. In the meantime, respondents who did not breastfeed made this decision due to fear of relapse, glucocorticoids, or desire to reinitiate medication.
"Though our study was limited by low survey response, we hope that our work may highlight the difficulty our patients face and foster discussions within the MS community around these issues to improve the individual patient experience," the researchers wrote in their poster.
Ms. Engel worked on the study while an undergraduate at the University of Virginia. The study was supported by the ziMS Foundation.

This book is about development and measuring development progress. While precise definitions may vary, development is, at heart, a process of building wealth, the produced, natural, human, and institutional capital which is the source of income and wellbeing. ... Exibir mais + A key finding is that it is intangible wealth, human and institutional capital, which dominates the wealth of all countries, rising as a share of the total as countries climb the development ladder. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides the big picture of changes in wealth by income group and geographic region, with a focus on natural capital because it is especially important for low-income developing countries. The second part presents case studies that illustrate particular aspects of wealth accounting, including accounting for climate change, the role of intangible capital in growth and development, measuring human capital, and the use of wealth accounting to improve transparency and governance in resource-rich economies. The final chapter reports on the implementation of wealth accounting by countries. The appendixes provide the full wealth accounts for individual countries and for aggregations by income group and geographic region. Exibir menos -

India is experiencing a period of high economic growth and rapid social and demographic change. There is increasing concern about the manner in which this transformation is impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. ... Exibir mais + While the Government of India has taken significant measures to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS, much remains to be done. Given the complexity of the challenge, an effective response requires the engagement of all sectors. The private sector, alongside other stakeholders, can play an important part not only by contributing to the efforts for HIV/AIDS prevention and the reduction of stigma and discrimination, but also for the care, support and treatment of Persons Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA). The report presents challenges, good practices and success stories about how Informational Technology (IT) companies in India are addressing the issues of HIV/AIDS. It demonstrates the mounting will and commitment of IT leaders to respond to the epidemic. The IT industry in India is young in terms of both its stage of development and the age of its workforce which averages 18-35 years. Reflecting the composition of the sector, the report documents the experiences not only of large companies in India's IT sector, but also of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Each company has used different approaches to address HIV/AIDS among its workforce including community outreach activities. By capturing these companies' experiences, the report seeks to foster a more active response to HIV/AIDS from India's IT community and to encourage new partnerships to leverage the goodwill and competencies of this sector.

In May 2007, Helen Keller International (HKI) announced a new $2.7 million multi-partner public-private initiative to produce vitamin A-fortified cooking oil (oil) in eight countries in West Africa. ... Exibir mais + These eight countries- Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo-comprised the West African Monetary Union. The program was dubbed 'faire tache d'huile,' literally similar to a 'snow ball effect' in French, used figuratively to express the scope and outcomes of this multi-country, multi-partnership approach to vitamin A fortification of cooking oil in the West Africa Region. The successful implementation of this cooking oil initiative catalyzed a similar regional initiative on micronutrient fortification of cereal flour, with the two regional initiatives declared at the Clinton global initiative as 'fortify West Africa.' This case describes the faire tache d'huile initiative with a particular focus on the coordination issues involved and the conditions under which such a public-private partnership is likely to succeed (in this case addressing a pressing public health challenge).

This book seeks to contribute to the sharing of knowledge between Brazil, India, and South Africa, three of the largest emerging economies today. ... Exibir mais + By assessing and comparing the investment climate in each, the authors seek to profile concrete steps that countries can take to improve the business environment. The authors focus particularly on identifying the commonalities and differences both within and among the three countries and attempt to highlight examples where policy makers will be able to drawn on the lessons from their own reform experiences and those of their counterparts in other core emerging markets. The book is organized as follows: (1) Provides a brief overview of the investment climate in each of the three countries, highlighting the key constraints identified by the national business communities, and explains the underlying concepts of the investment climate assessments and doing business indicators. (2) Examines the macroeconomic performance of Brazil, India, and South Africa and shows how the three countries perform with regard to taxation and foreign trade and exchange. (3) Reviews key microeconomic regulations, such as rules regarding the entry and exit of firms and labor regulations, and assesses the enforcement of contracts and regulations.

It was early November 2007, and Anurada Narasimhan, Britannia's category manager, headed down the hall to meet with Neeraj Chandra, vice president of marketing, sales, and innovation, and PP Roy, head of Research and Development (R&D). ... Exibir mais + Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Vinita Bali was leaving to attend a World Bank Institute sponsored conference in Washington, D.C., in a few hours and putting the final touches to her presentation on Britannia's food fortification efforts. Britannia had partnered with the Naandi foundation to bring iron-fortified biscuits to 150,000 children in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh through Naandi midday meal program. Naandi also continued to search for other sustainable ways to provide critically needed nutrients to India's poorest children. The biscuits had been a popular addition to the noontime meal, but they had to be purchased and distributed alongside the cooked meal. It was expensive and added an extra step; was there a way to fortify the more elemental ingredients in the lunch meals? In India's wheat-eating regions, iron fortification had made significant strides; rice, however, was difficult to fortify effectively. Those parts of India that relied on rice for a major portion of their diet risked falling further behind in terms of nutrition through fortification efforts. Exibir menos -

Corruption is an impediment to growth and poverty reduction. As the authors in this issue of Development Outreach well document, corruption limits opportunities, creates inefficiencies and forms additional barriers to the smooth delivery of services. ... Exibir mais + Crucially, from the perspective of the World Bank Group, corruption cumulatively undermines progress towards achieving development objectives, not least as its impact is most adversely felt by the world's poor. The World Bank has taken a clear public stance-based on exhaustive research-to seek ways to combat corruption. To this end we do and must work together with other international organizations, governments, civil society groups, and the private sector. As noted by World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, the private sector worldwide is one of the most important partners in this process and, without the active engagement of business, progress will be limited. This newsletter includes some of the following headings: introduction; why should business care; corruption affects everyone and exists all over the world; capacity of government to regulate is key; so, what is being done; action by individual firms; collective action and the role of associations; industry-wide efforts also hold promise; global standards can be effective at producing peer pressure to reform; the World Bank's contribution; increased attention to its own loan portfolio; the power of data and benchmarking; embedding governance and anti-corruption at the heart of country strategy; powerful diagnosis and analytical tools help guide actions at the country level; affecting both the demand and supply side of good governance; multi-stakeholder partnerships are a complex and nuanced undertaking.

The three Central American countries examined in this study suffered violent internal conflicts during the 1980s but faced the 1990s largely at peace and with a renewed sense of hope. ... Exibir mais + As in most post-conflict societies peace brings not just a cessation of hostilities, but also the opportunity for transformation, especially in terms of addressing the root causes of the conflict and building a better future for the next generation. The immediate post-conflict period offers a window of opportunity, often brief however, to undertake these transformations by adopting bold and longer-term reform processes. Transforming as well as rebuilding education systems is often at the center of post-conflict reconciliation and reconstruction agendas. The motivation for this study was to try to understand why some post-conflict countries are more successful than others in seizing this opportunity. Although the conflicts in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua had different manifestations and resolutions, the fact that the three embarked on post-conflict education reform programs with varying degrees of success offered an excellent opportunity to contrast and to try to learn from their experiences. The first section of the report examines the impact of the conflicts on the education systems of each country. The second section looks at these countries' education reforms in the post-conflict period. Section three provides a brief assessment of the impact to date of the reforms, including the unfinished agendas. The last section concludes with some proposed lessons that would be applicable to any country embarking on a comprehensive education reform process, but especially so for post-conflict societies.

Lonchin Suguna
Central Leather Research Institute, India
Title: Wound healing potential of a biodegradable film from pullulan in rats
Lonchin Suguna has completed her Ph.D. at the age of 27 years from University of Madras. She did her postdoctoral studies at ETH-Zentrum, Zurich, Switzerland. She is working as a Scientist in the Department of Biochemistry, Central Leather Research Institute, a Governmental organization in India. She has published more than 48 papers in reputed journals and serving as a reviewer for 12 journals and Editorial board member for 4 journals. She has received Mr. VV Swaminathan Diamond Jubilee Research Endowment award for the outstanding contribution in the scientific evaluation of medicinal properties of plants, by Indian Association of Biomedical Scientists, 2012 (Gold Medal).
The aim of this study was to develop a biodegradable film from pullulan and investigate its efficacy for wound healing. Many biomaterials like collagen fibrin, chitosan etc have been used in the form of films to enhance wound healing. In this study, biocompatible, biodegradable films were made from a biopolymer, pullulan and used to augment wound healing. A 2cm2 excision wound was made on the back of rats and the effectiveness of pullulan scaffolds on excision wounds was investigated by measuring different biochemical, biophysical and histological analyses. The mechanical properties like tensile strength, elongation at break were found to be increased in the wounds treated with pullulan films when compared to controls. Biochemical parameters like collagen, uronic acid and hexosamine were also observed to be increased in the granulation tissues of pullulan treated rats as compared to controls. Rate of contraction was found to be significantly increased. Epithelialization period was remarkably reduced from 22 days (control) to 11 days (treated). The adhesive property of the film was studied by assessing the rejoining of incision edges (3 cm long, not stitched). It was interesting to observe that the incisions treated with pullulan films healed within 6 days whereas the control wounds took more than 12 days. The tensile strength of the treated wounds was also significantly increased. Thus, our results strongly support that pullulan films could be used as a better wound dressing for both incision and excision wounds.

40th Anniversary of Penny Dean's EC Record
Forty years ago today, Penny Dean swam the English Channel in 7:42, becoming the first person to go under 8:00 and breaking the overall record by over an hour. Her record stood for 16 years. Only two people have held the overall record longer than that: Matthew Webb and Georges Michel, who set the record in 1926. Michel's time spanned WWII, i.e. six years during which there were no swims at all (according to https://www.dover.uk.com/channel-swimming/swims). If you subtract those six years—and who wouldn't want to do that—Penny's overall record stood longer than anyone's except for Webb's.
Chad Hundeby, whom Penny had trained, finally broke her record in 1994. Not until 2006, when Yvetta Hlaváčová went 7:25, did a woman swim faster than Penny. By then, Penny's women's record had stood for 28 years.
<°))̂)̖)>< ><((̗(̂(°>
I tried to keep up with Penny once. I had the luck and privilege to train on a team with her during the summers of 1977 and '78. I never understood how she could be so fast. I mean, she's all of 5'2"—I had her by a whole two inches—and she's certainly no hulk. So I decided one morning, just before we set off on a 15-mile workout, to try to keep up.
Big mistake—as big a mistake as, say, challenging Lebron to a shoot-off or trying to out-sing Adele. It ended up being the only workout in those two summers that I didn't finish. I stayed close for a couple of miles but had to sprint to do it. That left me, with most of the workout still to go, barely able to breathe. I limped along for as long as I could but threw in the beach towel with three miles left. I never tried to keep up with Penny again.
