Next generation air traffic management to be examined by aviation safety experts
|World Aviation Safety Summit 2019
|Streamline Marketing Group
|Event Date
|Press Release Date
- World Aviation Safety Summit to analyse airspace designs and ATC security's impact on safety
- How to handle complex geopolitical environments to also be a key focus at the Summit
Improvements to air traffic management (ATM) and airspace design will be critical points of debate at the fifth edition of the World Aviation Safety Summit (WASS), to be held in Dubai this April. Next generation ATM technology will be analysed, as well as airspace design planning and how to minimise unstable runway approaches.
This topic is of significant concern to GCC aviation leaders who have for a long time debated improving airspace collaboration across governments to reduce congestion and ultimately improve safety. It was recently announced that a centralised air traffic management system in the GCC had reached a very advanced stage, according to the Director General of UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA). It is expected that this will be improve access, collaboration and safety across the region.
Industry experts will discuss air traffic control (ATC) security and resilience, avoidance of Airprox incidents on international routes, as well as how to enhance crew and ATC communication.
The Summit will also include topics from flight over conflict zones and threats of terrorist activities to safety monitoring and measurement, each with contributions from leading experts in the fields and an assessment of the international best practices being applied.
With increased instability and the existing armed conflicts around the world, the effects on civilian aviation security have been a notable public interest topic. Security experts and policy-makers will consider related topics during the 'overflight and handling a complex geopolitical environment' on day one of the conference. In particular, they will address safety risk assessment for overflight of militant areas and zones, with many airlines no longer flying over conflict hot spots following a number of incidents over recent years. The panel will also provide up-to-date insights concerning coordination of safety information around war zones and increasing threats of terrorist activities.
The Summits Association Partner IATA said "Air Traffic Management (ATM) is a key component and critical enabler to the growth of international air transport.
Fragmented ATC operating standards create challenges in meeting the need for increased capacity and growth of air traffic. Improvements in military/civil cooperation and partnerships to address the use of military designated airspace for civil operations (when not utilised by the military) will assist States to further mitigate overcapacity and associated safety related concerns, whilst at the same time providing for positive economic growth. To be completely effective, it is also imperative that airport development aligns with the airspace efficiency".
Inflight tracking is also another pertinent topic to be discussed, with a dedicated panel at the close of day two. Specific areas of attention include the implementation of continuous air tracking systems that could provide real-time locations of airborne vehicles from departure to destination. While disappearances are an incredibly rare occurrence nowadays, a number of high-profile incidents have highlighted the need for improved inflight tracking technologies.
Other panels focus on management of staff, dealing with such matters as creating a safety culture within aviation organisations, including applying effective safety training management and programmes. Fatigue management and flight time limitations are also important issues for all airlines, and will be discussed alongside pilot fitness, crew health and other factors to reduce human error in aviation.
H.E. Mohammed Abdulla Ahli, Director General at the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority said: "With our growing presence on the global aviation scene and solid status as an international aviation hub, we are committed to improving safety standards across the sector. As the sector and industry continue to grow, so too do the number of safety factors that need to be taken into account, and that's why this year we are discussing such a broad range of topics. The fifth World Aviation Safety Summit will advance local, regional and international understandings of some of the most pressing issues facing carriers today, as well as providing cutting-edge and innovative response to current challenges."
Nick Webb, Managing Partner at Streamline Marketing Group, the event organisers, said: "The aviation and aerospace sector in the UAE continues to demonstrate terrific growth, and was recently estimated to account for 750,000 jobs by 2020. Safety is a huge part of that, and represents a foundation for all other aviation activities. As such, the World Aviation Safety Summit will provide a sound platform for the ongoing discussions of these crucial issues, and contribute to maintaining Dubai's leading position at the helm of the industry."
WASS will be held on April 11 and 12 at the InterContinental Dubai Festival City. Hosted by the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), the annual conference provides a platform for policy-makers, business leaders and experts in fields related to aviation safety to discuss contemporary issues facing the sector and industry.

Unusual Cutting Garden Options
While flipping through the Johnny's Seeds catalog this spring, I noticed 'Black Tip' wheat and thought it looked interesting. Definitely an unusual item for the cutting garden, which is something I'm always looking for.
I'm hoping I will have enough from one seed packet to make a wreath for the house. So far it's growing nicely and fattening up well. I'm really interested to see the color in the final seed heads. If I don't have enough for a wreath, I think they will look lovely in a vase. Overall, this is a winner for a cutting garden in my book.
Have you grown any unusual cutting garden items?Filed under Around the Garden | Comment (1)
One Comment to "Unusual Cutting Garden Options"
Your flowers are beautiful and even though I do make bouquets, I'm with you…I'd rather observe them in the garden! Actually though, with alot of flowers, the more you cut, the more they will keep producing and not go to seed.
As for an unusual garden option for the vase…I like my purple fountain grass for the late summer, early fall bouquet. The uncut plumes tend to fan out and sway beautifully in a breeze. :)
Another very cool option is branches of crocosmia when it loses it's flowers and forms little seed heads in rows along the stem…

Bitcoin popularity 'boosted by euro'
You may not have heard of it, but Bitcoin is currently the best-performing currency in the world and the first to be traded online without any kind of central bank or institutional supervision.
One Bitcoin is now is currently worth more than $70 (£46). About a week ago, it was worth some $45, a record high since it was first invented in 2009.
Its value has been driven up by the debt crisis in Cyprus, where banks have been shut for more than a week. There are about 10 million Bitcoins in circulation right now and that by mid 2030 there will be about 25 million.
Bitcoin's founders say the currency will change the world. Meanwhile critics say it is being used to buy drugs online, and get rich quick.
For more on this debate and what Bitcoin means to Asian markets, the BBC spoke to Emmanuel Daniel from The Asian Banker.

How credible are research analyses put forth by brokerage houses and independent analysts? Are they trying to unfairly manipulate sentiment in favour of a particular stock? Is it possible you may be taken for a ride by the research analyst?
In order to root out any foul play arising out of conflict of interest and make the market a safer place for investors, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is planning to rein in research analysts. It has floated a 'consultation paper on proposed regulation of research analysts'.
The proposed regulations require research analysts to seek prior approval from Sebi to operate in India. They are also required to make disclosures such as valuation methods, compensation received from other activities and present or past relationship with a company on which it has published research reports. Further, they have to maintain records of research reports, recommendations provided, whether written or oral, and rationale for arriving at the conclusions.
Besides, they cannot take a call which is contrary to the recommendations within 30 days before and five days after the publication of a research report. They cannot publish about or recommend securities of a company whose securities they have dealt in or traded within the previous 30 days.
Independent research analysts, intermediaries which employ research analysts and issues research reports, as also research analysts giving recommendations in the TV channels, newspapers and websites will come under the proposed regulations.
Investment advisers, asset management companies, proxy advisory service providers and fund managers of alternative investment funds engaged in research services to their unit holders will not come under these regulations. Media and online bloggers are also out of the ambit of these regulations.
Commenting on the additional costs that research analysts will have to spend to remain Sebi-compliant, Rahul Goel, CEO of Equity Master, says, "For us there is no issue of compliance costs at all. As long as a regulation is constructive and helps protect the investor, and at the same time promotes the interest of the sector, we are all for it."

Most of the people who get a car booked for rentals, do it right at the airport. While this may be the easiest route, this is also an expensive way to get car rentals. The car rental services available at airports are always more expensive than others which are available within the city. So it is better to book you car from services in the city rather than getting it from the airport itself. This way you can save a considerable amount of money on your travel.
Other important point which is ignored by most travelers is to get the information regarding all the hidden charges which might be included with the booking. A lot of companies keep a low amount as minimum fare but charge you in other ways which sums up to be a high total. You might be looking for the cheapest service available but that is possible only if you have exact information about the charges. So it is always good to inquire about any hidden charges at the time of booking your car. The best way to do this is to call up the rental services and find out about their rate plans. Then you can choose the best one for yourself.
Another good tip to save money on car rentals is choosing the car that suits you the best. If you are traveling alone then a small car may be your best choice but if you are traveling with family or carry a lot of luggage then a SUV or a large sedan would work out as the best option for you. Getting the right car is important here. If you are traveling in or around Bristol then you can choose between lots of good Bristol car rental services.

Remember back in September, when webOS "sort of" clicked past the 5,000 app mark? The "sort of" was because that number included unofficial and off market apps, like the stuff in the Beta catalogs or available via homebrew repositories. In other words, it was flubbing the numbers a bit.
Just shy of three months later, webOS has now passed 5,000 apps, no flubbing required.
For the numbers geeks: as of October, iOS had around 300,000 applications, while the Android Market was at around 100,000. Since launching in October (2 months ago), Windows Phone 7 has climbed from 0 to roughly 4,800 applications, while it's taken Palm nearly a full year to climb from 1,000 to 5,000.

When the Whitaker family approached me about an opportunity to give back during her Serengeti Family Safari I was happy to help. What transpired turned into one of the best fairy tale charity stories I've had the privilege of being a part of during my career. A real organic outpouring of community spirit inspired by one family's generosity and desire to directly improve the lives of others.
When a family or group of travelers is interested in making a charitable donation in Tanzania, we often set up a visit to a rural school district. However, the Whitaker family was traveling over the Christmas holiday time period when many of the schools are closed and the children are at home. Through a local colleague we found Elias Japhet and the Pambazuko Orphanage, which he and his wife have been running in the small agricultural town of Mto Wa Mbu near Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Since 2008 they have taken in 16 children, ages 8 to 17, and have been raising them as their own. After communicating with Elias, it was clear that they needed more than the average assistance of school supplies, clothing, or sports equipment. They were in desperate need of a vehicle which they could use to get the kids around town, pick up groceries, and in dire times, get to the local hospital. A van I thought, "What a tall order!"
What happened from there was purely due to the efforts of the Whitaker family. After putting them in touch with Elias they began communicating back and forth and sharing photos of each other's family. Through the Whitakers' determination and generosity they were able to raise the money through their own network of friends and family back home in Seattle in order to make the Pambazuko Orphanage's dream a reality. On Dec 28th they met with their Tanzanian pen pals and delivered one of the best Christmas presents of all time, as Bob Barker would say, "A Brand New CAR"!!
"Dancing, laughing, jumping here and there was the things covered around our ground yesterday. It was so awesome that Whitaker's family was able to visit our home. We had a great time for sure, their kids Anna and Isaac got a chance to play American hand ball with all my sixteen kids, and we all got to know each other. We all had Irish potatoes mixed with cucumber soup . They took a lot of pictures with the van as well. Three hours they spent with us was like one second. Their desire was fulfilled indeed, and we got a Christmas GIFT from friends all over the world who donated the van, it was very generous from the heart."
And that my friends, is the power of travel!
Keeping it wild,
Jeff Stivers

Load testing software is a type of software that tests a software or web application by implementing user load on it. It mimics user load/requests on software by implementing a large quantity of simultaneous connection or access requests on the tested software or applications.
Load testing software is also known as stress testing software.
Load testing software primarily tests a software's robustness or availability under normal to extreme operational conditions. Load testing helps in evaluating the limit or capacity of the software until which it can provide normal services without being burdened under user/processes load.
The load testing software exhibits or applies logical user load on the software—implying the same number of input/output or other user requests as in a real-world environment. The testing process starts with applying a load equal to that of a few users and gradually increasing the number of user requests. The resultant data also helps in identifying the number of simultaneous users a website or software can handle.

On Friday's episode of Shark Tank, ToyMail presented their newest device. The Talkie is a voice messaging toy that allows for kids to record and play messages from trusted contacts.
What was different was that ToyMail had been a recipient of the Alexa Fund, a $100M fund setup by Amazon to help companies either integrate Alexa products or innovate around the service.
It was revealed on Shark Tank that ToyMail had raised $500,000 from Amazon and that it was intending to add Alexa Voice Service to its products. This is likely the case with other hardware makers that had been investments of the Alexa Fund.
However, there are a few additional questions that could be raised by Talkie's AVS integration:
With Talkie, the company's founder had mentioned future voice interaction and it's possible that Lex could be a good fit for building this. Amazon's investment might help keep Talkie in AWS.

India and Pakistan have begun talks on an unprecedented opening of their disputed Kashmir border to ease the flow of aid to victims of the South Asia earthquake.
Foreign Ministry officials from the two sides met in Islamabad on Saturday to work out an agreement allowing Kashmiris to cross the heavily militarised Line of Control, the cease-fire line that divides the disputed Himalayan region.
Arriving in Pakistan late on Friday, the head of the Indian delegation, Dilip Sinha, told reporters that the atmosphere between the two countries was positive and that "we hope to have useful talks."
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam also expressed optimism, saying she hoped the two sides would reach an agreement ending what she called "procedural difficulties" preventing cross border travel.
Since Pakistan's President General Pervez Musharraf first suggested allowing Kashmiris to help each other recover from the massive earthquake, both governments have shown a willingness to open the border, but have failed to iron out differences in their proposals over how to do it.
Crossing the land border in Kashmir was forbidden for 58 years until Pakistan and India agreed to open a twice-monthly bus service earlier this year.
Pakistani proposal
Pakistan has proposed that the de facto border dividing Kashmir, over which India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars, could be opened in five places.
However, an agreement in principle has been hampered by a disagreement over details.
India wants to open three relief stations so villagers on the Pakistani side do not have to go far to reach safety.
Both India and Pakistan have been criticised for politicising the disaster, and political analysts say the talks are likely to result in only limited crossings for stranded villagers.
Helicopters are a vital lifeline to
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry has proposed that relief goods could be received by both sides at the five points it had identified, but added that it was more important that Kashmiris could visit their kin on the other side.
Indian defence sources have said there will have to be some agreement on identity verification to prevent crossings by Pakistan-backed militants fighting Indian rule in Kashmir.
Pakistan is accepting aid from India, which said it had offered $25 million, but has refused to let Indian troops join the rescue work on Pakistani soil.
The talks could yet delay over issues including what kind of documentation people would need to cross the border, as well as disagreement over the means for distributing aid.
With many roads blocked by landslides, the massive UN-led relief effort has relied heavily on helicopters.
But Pakistan has told New Delhi it would accept Indian helicopters only without crews – a proposal rejected by India.
UN appeals
The United Nations is warning that its helicopters ferrying desperately needed food, tents and medicine will be grounded within a week unless donors make good on pledges of hundreds of millions of dollars.
"The situation is quite grim. With the money we have already, and much of it obtained from our own internal emergency reserves, we can keep the helicopters running for one week," said Michael Jones of the UN World Food Programme in Islamabad.
Thousands of victims are still turning up each day at makeshift clinics, suffering increasingly from diseases such as scabies, diarrhea and pneumonia.
Winter is expected within weeks, adding to hardships facing survivors who lack shelter and a food supplies. Pakistani meteorologists are forecasting a much harsher than normal winter in the high Himalayan mountains.
Average temperatures would also be a few degrees below normal, at times dipping as low as minus 20 Celsius (minus 4 Fahrenheit), Mohammed Hanif at the Pakistan Meteorological Department said.
The official toll from the quake in Pakistan rose on Friday to 56,000, although local officials put the number at about 78,000.
Another 1350 people died in Indian-held Kashmir.
Meanwhile, another aftershock measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale struck the area early on Saturday.
It was the largest of 30 aftershocks in the previous 24 hours and may have caused minor damage in the worst affected areas like Muzaffarabad, seismological department head Qamaruz Zaman told AFP.
More than 1000 aftershocks have jolted the area since the massive 7.6 magnitude earthquake devastated Kashmir on 8 October.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the latest tremor.

The Ghost of Education Future
Queue the scary music, chains, and misty fog, this is a look at education in the future, ooooooo spooky! In this final post we will examine where our students and teachers will be at in 30 years if we continue with the trends as they are right now.
Enter 2047
With the current path we are on in education and with the pendulum of change continuing to swing in one direction, towards the over standardization of schools, we are looking at some dire consequences for our inability to humanize education. Students in 2016 are often treated by the state simply as a number that grows or does not grow. If this continues into the future our education system will not sustain itself.
Classrooms and Teachers
As we look in on schools in 2047 we find a dark, desolate wasteland. Public brick and mortar schools barely exist anymore, most kids who are able to get the computing power and technology in their home have opted for online charters schools or even private online programs. These online schools and programs are designed for one thing and one thing alone, to raise test scores in literacy and math. The schools that do exist in the flesh serve mostly students in poverty or recent immigrants. Teachers serve in a diminished role as once the online curriculum is set there is little personal tailoring that goes into the actual school year. Teachers don't even grade, as all assignments are sent through the computerized grading system where an analytics program can break down their writing and decide if it meets the standard or not. Everything is standardized.
Many parents, uncomfortable with the idea leaving their children at home to learn alone, drop their kids off at sterile computer centers that seem more like a hospital than a school. At these centers there are "teachers" who babysit a room of 150 students ensuring that they are diligently working on their online studies. Make no mistake, these adults in the room are only there to crack the whip, making barely minimum wage and with no teaching degree required. However, the government loves this model because it is cheap, efficient, and most importantly, everything is standardized.
Extracurriculars and Elective Classes
Organized school sports, music, and fine arts programs, along with film, theatre, and physical education classes are no longer connected with the school. If a student wants to partake in any of these extracurricular activities they must join outside of school, usually for a hefty fee. Families with the money are willing to pay for at least some of these extracurriculars, but in communities in poverty the kids simply must find other ways of getting to experience sports, music, and art. Usually these students will turn to crime, mischief, or watching TV on the couch to fill the free time. Without being taught movement skills in PE and without sports, childhood obesity shoots through the roof (yes even higher).
School Lunches
With budget cuts and emphasis on making everything in education being cheaper, schools no longer feed any kids but those who are extremely poor. Any student who does not meet the threshold for free lunch must bring their own, there is no more hot lunch, not that the food quality would make anyone want to pay money for it. The lunch menu for the poor students consists of outsourced fast food. Students who eat school lunches during this time are told that they are eating nutritional foods that meet the minimum dietary restrictions. These restrictions, however, have been altered by government paid dieticians so that the cafeterias can serve pizza and call it a vegetable or can serve a hamburger with ketchup and call it a fruit. Again we see the standardization of schools creeping into every aspect of education, and again it disproportionally affects the students living in poverty.
The Budget
With most of the country shifting to online schools the budget has been cut dramatically. School districts no longer have to employ teachers, janitors, coaches, or even principals. The only costs are renting out the computer centers so that students without computers at home can "go to school," and paying for the online curriculum that the students work in all day. These curriculum come from all of the major textbook companies, districts pay for them and then must pay again whenever a new version or edition comes out. Companies guarantee that students will grow but it is no surprise that they do when the text book companies are the ones grading the student's work.
The Online Curriculum
While each company does create its own curriculum designed to teach students, they all are in essence the same. Students are delivered information that is heavy in math, reading, and writing skills and very light in humanities (geography, history, etc.) and sciences. In fact you could argue that the science and humanities lessons were essentially English lessons designed to teach technical writing and non-fiction reading. There is very little character and all assignments get submitted via computer for grading. Students are graded only based on whether they met the standard, there is no longer consideration for where a student started and finished or whether that student was in need of special education services. The argument for this in 2047 is that even though the students have different needs the standards do not change and we must teach the standards!
The Graduates
When a student graduates from school in 2047 they may or may not have the skills needed to survive and thrive in the real world. The online programs push students through; they only make money if students advance so in the computer algorithms, eventually, every student will demonstrate the ability to meet the standard regardless of their ability to reproduce the skill. Many students who want to attend college can only do so after taking remedial classes because the online classes really don't encourage long-term learning but rather short-term memorization.
The real problem with graduates from this future education system is that they completely and utterly lack the ability to communicate and problem solve. Everything in their online curriculum was individualized and tailored to the student, in the real world the student must adapt and tailor themselves to the challenges they face. Graduates from these charter and online schools cannot take what they learned in one area and apply it to another; there is no critical thinking. But they sure can pass that standardized test!
With students from America not being able to adapt or interact with others, companies start importing people who can adapt and have good interpersonal skills to fill positions in the USA. Many graduates try to get jobs doing manual labor but, unfortunately, they have no skills in working with their hands because they were not able to take any classes that didn't require a keyboard, so that option is out. Without sports or PE, health deteriorates quickly in these graduates because they don't know how to exercise or eat healthful food. With many of the graduates working at jobs with no benefits and being unhealthy we see even more of the cost of healthcare pushed onto the taxpayers. Depression goes up as more and more graduates from the standardized curriculum find themselves without the skills needed to survive in an un-standardized world.
Back to 2016
While dramatic and a bit over the top this tale does demonstrate a need for the pendulum to swing back towards the middle. Testing and some form of standardization are necessary to hold schools, teachers, and students accountable. However, when we try to standardize everything we get robots that are not really educated but can regurgitate information. The ideal graduate from the American education system should not be identical to any other graduate. We need come up with a way to value and promote skills other than the three R's (reading, writing, and arithmetic). The three R's are simply a means to an end, yes, reading, writing, and math skills are essential, however if we do not teach the application of these skills outside of class we lose the real learning.
A Look Back to Move Forward
In the first post in this three part series we looked at education in the 1960's. I believe that by going back to this time period while applying principles from 2016 we can create students who are resilient problem solvers, ready to take on any challenge.
Curriculum Changes
Like schools from the 60's we should offer a more robust curriculum starting in elementary school, not just secondary school. Students should be able to have a choice from many electives that are hands on such as woodshop, auto-shop, photography, film as literature, website design, and many, many more. Very few students have had their fires sparked by Geometry 101, but many fires have been started in woodworking where the skills of geometry are applied to the real world. So often on all of the social media platforms teachers post the quote, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." This quote, by William Butler Yeats, is the exact opposite of standards based education, when we teach only to meet standards we are just filling a bucket. Sometimes more is needed.
In addition to adding electives back in and focusing less on the 3R's, we also need, desperately, to focus on health. Students need to be taught about nutrition from the day they enter kindergarten until the day they leave for college. Why? Because habits built in nutrition early are habits that will stick with students for life. In the end, it is more important for a student to leave high school being able to cook a healthy meal for his/her family than it is to be able to identify the theme in Hatchet, or the ability to find the area of a triangle. Along with nutrition comes exercise. PE should be required for all students every day of the year, PE also should consist of fairly rigorous exercise because kids need to actually get moving, not just learn about games or how to move. Our priorities need to return to raising students who have skills to survive and make happiness for themselves in the world.
Extracurricular Changes
Students today do not take pride in their schools in the same way that they did in the past. Much of this apathy comes from a lack of extracurricular activities and options. Back in the day (1960's) there were a plethora of clubs and teams that could be joined in both middle and high school. These clubs or teams created a community of students gathered around one interest, leading, often times, to a spark of passion. This passion ended up creating school pride, football players wanted their school's football team to be the best, kids in drama wanted to represent their school with a fabulous play, and students in the band wanted to play their best! Students did this because their performance reflected not only them as an individual but the school as a whole. This created a common thread between all extracurriculars, that thread is pride. Today the extracurricular activities are taking a backseat to improving test scores and standardizing the student experience. As detailed in The Ghost of Christmas Present, some districts are even getting rid of middle school sports all together. If we want kids to take pride on their state tests then we need them to feel a sense of pride and connection to the school. Connections to a school are built via passion, and passion is formed from an intrinsic love of something, for some it is sports, for others art, and still others theatre or music. When these programs are cut we also cut the passion out of school. Never, ever, has a student felt connected to their school solely because the school's test scores were high, there is always another factor in school pride.
The Bottom Line
Many of the problems outlined above come from an over-standarization of the education system. This viewpoint that we can isolate all problems, create standards, meet standards, and move on, is a business mindset. Education, today, is treated like a business, however instead of the currency being dollars the currency is student test scores. We trade student test scores for federal funding. The problem with the education-as-a-business model is that education is not a business. You cannot take one model and apply it universally, there are too many nuances between schools and school districts to attempt to standardized the whole process.
At the end of the day, we should be educating the whole student and judging our success or failure based on the types of students being produced. Standardized tests scores still would likely increase under a whole student model but the focus would not be on raising score specifically because test scores are just a snap shot of a student's ability in one subject at one point in time. We need to ask what our goal is. To raise test scores? Or to raise students? It is time that we focus on raising students not test scores.

The lack of student connection to school is a huge issue. So many students lack the drive and ownership of their own learning because they have no sense of pride or school community. Due to high stakes testing, our students have lost so much that makes them well rounded humans. I'm still hopeful that this will change in my teaching career and for my own kids.

The Best (and Worst) Types of Girlfriends

Because no one ever got sexy by accident.
By Eugene S. Robinson
You have sexy questions? Eugene has sexy answers. Write. Now: firstname.lastname@example.com
Having a Ball
EUGENE, SIR: My girlfriend likes to play with my testicles when we're messing around. Her favorite thing in the world is to have them in her mouth. Just writing what I just wrote makes me uncomfortable. It does not give me so much pleasure outside of the obvious pleasure it gives her, but I'm slightly ticklish and they're delicate enough that this just panics me. I've mentioned this before and she has mentioned that they don't seem to bother me when I am playing football, which is true. But this is very different. She says exes of hers haven't had this problem. Making me want to ask if there is much variation in testicle sensitivity? —Russell
Dear Nuggets: If there is a change in how sensitive your testicles are, this could be the canary in the testicular coal mine and should be looked into, as it could be the sign of symptoms much more serious. And yes: I did just say "canary in the testicular coal mine." However, it sounds like you're not having pain or irregular sensitivity issues but more that you're just uneasy about testicle play. Could be trust issues, I don't know. A good shrink would tell you to breathe deeply and relax a bit. I'm no shrink so I'll just say, if you trust her enough to let her mouth near the rest of your privates, you should start trying to relax through this too. Who knows? You might like it.
Pictures Imperfect
EUGENE, SIR: My ex keeps pictures of her exes. Not pictures of them windsurfing or at Thanksgiving dinner or something like that. Pictures of penis. She had asked me to fix her computer once and while using some global search term for something I was trying to install, I found a few penis pictures. I'd have said that these were just generic porn or something that she had accidentally downloaded were it not for his smiling face and a date and time stamp that suggested it was sent the week before. I'm a little pissed off, but I know she's not cheating, so maybe I should just let this slide? Anyway, if I didn't, how would you think it would most make sense to bring this up? —Elvis
Dear Mr. Magoo: While I know, I know, there's that whole expression about fire and smoke existing in near proximity to each other, I think I should say here in her defense that the presence of penis pics does not actually indicate the lurking presence of penis. Or rather: Since the path of the righteous woman is beset on all sides with all manner of willing penis, there's no reason why this penis should prove much more nettlesome than any other penis. Even if it is attached to a smiling ex with a fondness for mailing out pics that might explain why this man is smiling. And, yes, I know I just used the word "penis" five times — six if you count this most recent one.
And for the hat trick: penis.
Anyway, him sending them could be reflexive. It's cyberflashing that could mean no more or less than "Hey, remember when we used to do this and it was cute and funny and not at all creepy and douchey?" OR it could mean when you were dutifully working away on her computer she was revisiting olden times in the only way she knows how: with a marked appreciation for penis. Specifically, his.
So should you let it slide? Providing she really did give you the computer to work on? No. But how would I bring this up? Well, this is very different from how YOU should bring this up. But using his pics as her laptop wallpaper might be a nice way to break the conversational ice. Not so passive-aggressive as it is aggressive-aggressive, this opening gambit then allows you to "act" reasonable when discussing how genitalia pic exchanges — while not a BIG deal, unless they are — might be construed as a sign that your relationship is shifting into open waters. If she agrees, you know your course. If she doesn't? Well, then you're stuck in the uncomfortable position of having to believe someone who your gut is telling you to not believe.
Proceed with caution, whichever way you go.

Whereas the strong , powerful winds dominated the first days of section D, extremely hot desert temperatures permeated our bodies the second half. Mother Nature sharing some of those elements that make up her essence.
Poodle Dog Brush appeared in force. This poisonous plant seems to thrive in burn areas. Because this section was dominated by old burns, the trails were over run by Poodle Dog. A friend of ours shared photos of the rash he received from the dreaded dog . He hiked the PCT when it wasn't a well known plant, not more than a very few years ago . The rash more painful. , more intense than any poison oak.
The mental and physical agony of trying to avoid the dog got quite overwhelming as in some areas the brush was so dense on the trail that you couldn't be sure you were avoiding it. We actually did some road walk detours just to avoid the dog.
Because of the road walk around the Station Fire of a couple of years ago , that claimed too many fire fighters lives, we walked through an old prison that had been evacuated during the fire. The dog grew quite large and out of control in that area . It was quite frightening…and a little spooky. We camped a little below it.
The long road walk was contemplative.I walked alone and absorbed the intensity of the burn. Thinking a lot about life, about new growth , about how life is constantly in motion, constantly in a state of flux. The beautiful old growth trees destroyed by the Station Fire. Destroyed by man . It made my heart sad. But, as I looked closer I could see the new growth and I thought as I do of my own life, of change , of new growth and once again I expressed my gratitude to the natural world for reminding me that life is about change, and once that awareness can be embraced, life and all it's mysteries can indeed be understood in a brighter light.
The trail is constantly changing. Around each bend, if I stay in the moment I acknowledge the changing landscapes , the wildflowers , the rock formations , the variations in the clouds….
Water is continually in our thoughts. The mileage for the day is centered around water access. It will continue to be a challenge until the Sierras , which will be in about 200 miles. …
Challenges arise from within and from outside of myself. If it isn't the mind doubting myself, such as glancing up after 17 miles or so and around each bend is what seems to be a never ending winding uphill and my mind over and over resisting and going against the natural flow, then it is the body with its aches and pains , some momentarily , others longer lasting. But, every morning arising to do it all again , with eagerness and curiosity about what the day may bring.
Wandering along throughout the day my mind quiets, these are the moments I most enjoy. But then, there are those times when I am in deeper thought, such as the question , what makes a perfect life ?
I realize it's not perfection as we envision perfection . A perfect life is a life full of imperfection, for without imperfection how could we possibly feel all of life's ups and downs. I love this. I love that life is this way .
We are at the Saufleys in Agua Dulce. I was looking forward to meeting the premier trail angel , Donna Saufley. To my dismay she is out of town this weekend. However , we were re – united with some friends we had met earlier on the trail. It was good to hang out with them, drink a couple beers, laugh a couple laughs, enjoy the friendships!!! They are however off again this morning . They are fast. I will miss the Colonel, Beowolf, Monsoon and Williewha… I hope to cross their paths again.
Today will be a day of rest. A day to organize and plan the next 200 miles.
The elements that make up my life, appear daily on the trail . Gentle and sometimes not so gentle reminders about what this thing called life is all about. Feeling such gratitude .
With love ,
I walk on.

Do salaries reflect how society values an individual? Athletes are clearly overpaid in today's society. Is this the athlete's fault though?
There are men and women who risk their lives everyday and receive a salary hardly comparable to that of an athlete. This is the case because fans are willing to buy tickets to games and buy products endorsed by athletes. The reason for these outrageous salaries lies within each and every person who contributes in paying large amounts to support our professional athletes.
Today, athletes find themselves to be above the law. We can hardly blame the athletes for this though. We let them get away with whatever they choose, because we want them back on the field performing how they are used to performing. If they are punished, it is only a short amount of time. This is unfair.
It is your everyday American who complains constantly that athletes are overpaid, yet they are the same ones who pay hundreds if dollars to watch them play in their games.
The truth is, why shouldn't they accept all of the money they are offered? They are just taking what is handed to them. No crime there.
The work your average American does for
Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees became the highest paid baseball player by signing a contract for a 10 yr. deal paying $252 million.
Our country is completely overrated. America has the armed services hopping from country to country protecting our nation as a whole, doctors curing the sick, and policemen and firemen saving lives on a daily basis. With that in mind, picture those athletes getting paid millions to play a silly game.
What happened to rewarding those who benefit society? Athletes do not help society in any way, so why do they deserve...

Evergreen Happy Village has been specifically designed to provide a continuum of care that is responsive to our residents needs as they evolve from low-level care to high-level care. This is known as aging-in-place.
This ability to transition seamlessly to an increased level of care provision enables residents and their families to plan well in advance while ensuring the least amount of disruption is experienced by residents. Residents can usually remain in the same environment with the key change being the increased level of care provided.
How does the transition of care requirements occur?
Evergreen Happy Village's core focus of paying constant attention to resident health and wellbeing enables our well trained staff to efficiently identify when residents begin to experience difficulty in performing everyday tasks.
Our staff will discuss these observations with both the resident and their family members, ensuring due care is paid to do so compassionately and objectively, understanding that realisation and acknowledgement of decreasing capabilities is usually a very sensitive subject for most residents.
As part of our mission to ensure all residents enjoy their daily lives in an elegant, civilised manner, we treat all residents as individuals . Our carers and nursing staff are trained in the behaviours of effective listening and empathy to ensure we maintain the confidence and trust of all residents. It is through these skills that we are able to work effectively with residents' families to make the transition from low-level care to high-level care as smooth as possible for our aging-in-place residents.

I Killed My Uncle Because He Tried To Assault Me – 21-Year-Old Suspect Tells Police (Photo)
- Updated: October 30, 2017
A 21-year-old woman, Tina Sunday, who was arrested in Enugu state for allegedly clubbing her uncle to death with a stone has revealed the reason why she killed the man.
According to a statement by the spokesperson of the police in the state, Ebere Amaraizu, Ms. Sunday revealed that she killed her uncle when he tried to $exually assault her.
Speaking further on Thursday, the police spokersperson said the suspect from Ikot Udobang Ukanafon in Akwa Ibom State was living with the now deceased uncle at Ezilo street axis of Independence layout, Enugu before the incident.
Ms. Sunday, according to the spokesperson, alleged that she killed the 48 years old uncle, Friday Mathew, in self defence as he is fond of making $exual advances to her which she never liked.
"She further disclosed that on that fateful day at about 8.30pm in the night when she was lying down while expecting the deceased 10 year old son by name Thankgod Friday whom she had sent to go and buy sugar for her, that the uncle believing her to be sleeping, tried to have carnal knowledge of her which caused her to wake up forcefully and in a bid to save herself from the mess of the uncle, kicked him on his groin," the spokesman said.
"This angered the uncle who became violent and in the ensuing struggle, she headed for a stone near the door which she used in hitting his cheek," he added.
The uncle consequently became unconscious and later died.
"Really it was not my intention to kill him as I never intended to do so. Although he has disturbed me $exually severally," the suspect was quoted as saying.
The police gathered that shortly after, the son of the deceased came back to meet the lifeless body of his father. But he was allegedly warned by the suspect not to shout in order not to attract attention and her eventual arrest.
She also allegedly promised the young boy to take care of him. She immediately locked up the house, went away with the boy and dropped him at one of their aunty's place and disappeared, the police said.
"When the police operatives of the New Haven Division of the Enugu state command got the report, they swung into action swiftly and tracked the fleeing suspect," the spokesperson said.
Mr. Amaraizu said the suspect is now regretting her act and begging for forgiveness as she never intended to kill the uncle.

MicroBrands are market based algorithms that can be easily created, accessed, distributed and analyzed to solve a microsegmented problem, such as Brand Originality, Brand Mission, Brand Journey, Brand Authenticity and Brand Destiny.
MicroClusters are Permanent or Temporary Autonomous Ecosystems diverse in function, structure, work arrangements, and value creation/capture.
MicroPlatforms can monetize human effort and consumer assets on a new arbitrage between the practices adopted by these platform companies and new Network Effects based demand side problem-resolution processes, with new rules by which new customers, new communities, new workers, and new markets opens the way for radical changes in how we work, live, socialize, create value in the economy, and compete for the resulting profits.
Microbrand economy
MicroBrand Originality
As MicroMarkets reshape our lives, they're also introducing new problems. MicroBrand Originality is essential to outgrow these tensions and set up the MicroMarkets for long-term success.
MicroBrand Mission
The mission of the MicroBrand should go beyond the marketplace, establishing real markets where supply and demand dictates pricing dynamically, creating Maximum Value through discovery and efficiency for all.
MicroBrand Journey
On the Growth Markets where originality is the experience looked upon, the MicroBrand should pursue to build networks, ones where people can compare and contrast similar, but not the same , services along multiple dimensions of quality. Creating enduring partnerships the MicroBrand can also minimize risk.
MicroBrand Authenticity
It's necessary for the MicroBrand to put fairness over short-term profit. The benefit of being fair to both sides of the micromarket is that people are more likely to love and respect the authenticity of a MicroBrand that doesn't starve their buyers and suppliers for a quarter's profit.
MicroBrand Destiny
Algorithms that create, manage and analyze MicroBrands does not replace human leadership. "We often think that algorithms can replace leaders. But the truth is the opposite. Algorithms make leaders more necessary. Micromarkets need leaders who can make sure that the algorithm is not only a machine that grinds up human potential but also a ladder that offers people ways up."

Earlier this week, I came across this article by David Murrow which discusses why young men seemed to have abandoned the church. As the mother of a five-year-old son, I spend a LOT of time thinking about how I want my son to grow up, how I hope to share my faith and what kind of history I want him to have when he leaves home to make his own life. The idea that something is 'chasing' young men away from the faith piques my curiosity. Along with several other issues, Murrow lays the responsibility for this phenomenon at the feet of female youth leaders and the accompanying tenor of their groups which, he says, alienate young men and Sunday school programs whose design either ignores or oppresses boys' inherent make-up.
Murrow says that Sunday school systems are geared toward girls/women in that they require verbal, social interaction in which girls usually excel and boys sometimes don't . He says that the system itself is hostile to how boys learn… Hmmmm- as a homeschooler, this sounds familiar…
Sunday schools ARE systems based on government school models. Children are separated from their parents, age-graded, and are set homogenized tasks that are generally acknowledged by some outward reward like stickers or points. Now, I think there are some very nice things that children can learn in Sunday schools, but as a homeschooler, I have a hard time defending a system that is not Biblical (there are no Sunday schools in Scripture) and is based on a system that I believe is inherently flawed.
Sunday schools do not personalize a discipleship program geared toward each boys' unique abilities and interests, just as government schools don't personalize the academic education of their students. Why would we expect a system that doesn't work on even an academic level to have deep impact on a spiritual level? Just because Christian materials are used and people of honorable intent do the teaching doesn't mean there will be significant differences in outcome. If the best students are generally held back by the lowest common denominator in public school, doesn't it stand to reason that the same thing would happen in any public school based educational system? Sunday schools don't encourage kids to excel or to explore deeply as God leads. That's just not how the curriculum is designed.
Murrow goes on to say that women-led youth groups which focus on feelings, emotion, and expression alienate young men. Whether women should be teaching or in leadership positions over young men is a different post entirely (lol!), but the idea is the same as it is in Sunday school: where is this kind of discipleship- this kind of spiritual training- found in Scripture? It's NOT. There is no such thing as youth culture in scripture. The Bible doesn't cast young people as a strange breed of human, separate from the main body of believers (or unbelievers) and needing special (and often ridiculous, twaddley, insulting) programs to introduce them to Christ.
So how *are* boys and young men designed to hear and respond to God?
C'mon, homeschoolers- we know this, right?
God designed people to learn in *families*. Children learn how to be fully socialized, integrated adults (of each gender) by modeling their behavior and ideas after their parents and the other trusted adults in their intimate family circle. For a Christian family, the child is introduced to Jesus through family-based evangelism, that is, the parents/adults model a relationship with God and encourage the child to make a decision to follow Jesus for himself. The actual relationship is between God & the child (oh, how like dear Charlotte's assertion that the teacher must not interfere with the young student's interaction with an author's great thoughts!).
Boys learn to be men by watching their fathers, uncles, brothers and trusted family friends being men. By being *with* their adult male family as they minister, study, fellowship and lead at home, in the church and in the wider community. This is how God designed human beings to learn and is fully supported by those Deuteronomy 6 verses we Christian homeschoolers love so much.
Imagine a church in which every boy is personally discipled by his father (or a primary surrogate if his father is not present for any reason) and several other strong Christian men. The young man ministers along-side his father when his father responds to some need in the Body, he has continuous opportunity to discuss personal issues with his mentors and to receive guidance from them, and he has authentic relationships with these mentors so that his true personality, gifts, weaknesses and callings are apparent to them. He can't hide or be polite- they KNOW him and they love him. As this young man grows and becomes a man himself, he is accepted as an equal- fully integrated within the Body as an adult member.
Young men aren't abandoning the church/faith because they don't like talking in Sunday school, or because youth group worship songs are too sappy or because they don't get their flesh tickled enough by the girls at church- young men are abandoning the church because the church is utilizing non-Biblical methods of instruction. The problem isn't that the church doesn't understand 'maleness', the problem is that the church doesn't understand God's design for family-centered discipleship and, therefore, young men haven't been taught how to BE men in the church.
If we want to see young men staying in church and influencing the Body in wonderful ways, we have to make sure families worship and learn together so young men know how to BE the church as they come to maturity. We have to return to New Testament styles of worship and discipleship and we have to recognize that God's design for family is perfect for bringing children up into Him…

Why is there no optimizer available for the Euro Tour ?
There hasn't been enough action in the Euro tour tourneys to warrant the investment at this point. You're the first user to ask for it. However, we'll be revamping the optimizer end of year and can look at adding in Euro.
Thank you for the response.
