"NABFINS is an initiative of NABARD born out of serious concerns about the practices of NBFC MFIs in the mid-2000. Entrusted with the responsibility of promoting microfinance sector besides scaling up SHG-Bank Linkage NABARD thought it fit to form a Micro Finance institution on a pilot basis with the objective of developing it as a model NBFC in the country which will facilitate setting up of bench marks and standards for the MFI sector. In particular, NABFINS objective was to ensure that the various maladies found in the NBFC MFI sector such as lack of transparency in accounting and disclosure, high transaction cost, lack of diversification in products, increased rates of interest, coercive collection practices etc. are sought to be eliminated by establishing a fair and transparent Micro Finance Institution."

Not so much a beach review, but a bar review – Coalcliff Beach's world famous bar: The Bombie Bar. The 4th 'beach' of Christmas?
A beach bar with the BEST ocean view in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD.
An outdoor bar, atop the Coalcliff surf life saving club, nestled between cliff and coastline.
I first ventured to this magical place in April 2016. I saw my friend band, Brother B, literally rock the socks of the Sunday afternoon Bombie Bar patrons. And yes, while Brother B's music was sweet, it was THAT view, the sea air and the salt that peppered the breeze that I will never forget.
Alas the Bombie Bar has since fallen on troubled times. Noise complaints has seen the South Coast live music venue future in limbo – presently no 2017 Bombie Bar gigs are in the pipeline.
And that my friends is a shame. A real shame.
What is better that a salt water swim, sunshine, a beer and live music as the sun goes down on a Sunday afternoon?
Hopefully my the time the 2017 Twelve Beaches of Christmas Campaign rolls around the Bombie Bar is back, and I might get to review that strip of coast to a soundtrack of hip hop, folk or blues.

A 10 week discipleship course to help Christians grasp the truth of who they are in Christ, sort out personal and spiritual issues and become more fruitful in their discipleship. This is a great course for both new and old Christians. The group goes away for a weekend at the end of the course. Sometimes Christians can be spiritually stuck, expending a lot of energy but getting nowhere fast. Some are painfully aware of their struggles and yearn to be free from the guilt, shame, anxiety, fear, abuse and addictions that are suffocating their souls. It is easy to accept as normal a subnormal life in Christ, where faith is lived out on Sunday mornings but is largely irrelevant the rest of the week.
There is a weekend away from Plymouth to give people opportunity and more time for further ministry.

we went, H and I (who was off school, sick, but was so enthusiastic about what we were to do that he wanted to come) and made the first fire of the year. He was not impressed in the end "Fail, fail" (too much newspaper and dried, old weeds and not enough big sticks) but it went better than last time's when everything was so damp.
I planted out the red onions which have been sitting on a windowsill, in their toilet roll pots of compost, growing unspeakably fast as if they needed to reach the sun by Easter. In between the rows, I planted carrot seed, as advised by YouTube star, Claire's allotments. The carrot flies hate the smell of onions and vice versa is the reasoning behind it. There's not going to be any flies though if the rain doesn't arrive and nothing has moisture in its stalks in order to poke up through the soil. I just had a bit of water left in some buckets that had melted snow in to water the seeds; the water doesn't get switched on until sometime in mid-late April. The council assumes it'll rain before then, well this ain't Sheffield, it rains as often as it snows: very occasionally!
S's work experience has been a positive thing. He's not had to make tea for everyone nor clean the loos and best of all, not been left to twiddle his thumbs as they have had lots of relevant things for his abilities. Who wouldn't like to press those beepy scanners and announce you owe 26 kronor in fines? I think a major 'learning attainment' is an increase in confidence. They had to arrange everything themselves, and S, mashaAllah did all the approaching and talking. Many of his friends ended up in relative's businesses. He would've liked something relevant to his possible future as a Doctor, but Hospitals couldn't provide anything, nor the Chemists, but this is understandable. Funnily, shops have restrictions on under 18's handling payments at the tills, but this doesn't seem to be an issue at the library. I suppose £50 fines or £25 on photocopies would just not happen!
He has his last work experience day tomorrow. It's zoomed past. In fact he was ill on Monday, the day his teacher had come to 'inspect'. S had diligently tried to inform the library staff of his illness, and they finally answered the phone by about 1:30 pm. I was considering walking down there and telling them. Somehow perversely, it's reminding me of the time I was in the doctor's trying to book an appointment, and was told I had to phone their booking line. I would've phoned them, there and then, glaring at them in front of me as they answered my call, if I'd have enough money on my mobile phone.
Anyhow, they're quite laid-back down the library, and S would like to work there as a summer job. Abundant computers (plus, maybe, the presence of books) does make it an attractive workplace for a teenage boy.
He served our neighbour yesterday and now we know he's the man to ask about Apple computers as he purchased all the back issues of the relevant magazine.

Skip to comments.Wanted: New Conservative Fighters
Posted on 12/15/2018 6:29:02 AM PST by Kaslin
Let me be blunt. Its obvious to me that the political right needs a fighting forcean organized ground level force built for the political conflicts of the 21st century. Politics has become a contact sport. This force must be unlike many GOP political figures who want to avoid contact and seem obsessed with being admired by the left and the editorial boards of the New York Times and CNN, rather than pushing back against the people seeking to destroy them. Who was it that said, you cant fix stupid?
The left aided by the liberal media has declared war on conservatives. They have declared war on cops, the Constitution, the rule of law, due process, religion, and free speech. To counter this, we need political street fighters, brawlers to help President Trump push back against the swamp, the deep state, never-Trumpers on the right, and the Washington establishment. Currently, Trump has to rely on a group of your grandfathers Republicans who mistakenly believe that you can compromise with the left or that you can win at political warfare from inside the safe space of a think tank, a TV studio, or from a DC cocktail party.
Traditional GOP politicians and elites do not realize that going forward into the 2020 elections the tactics they are currently using that had previously worked to win elections have become obsolete and ineffective at countering the guerrilla-type warfare tactics of the Democrat Party and the American left.
Somebody needs to tell these Republican intellectual elites that the other side is shooting at us figuratively and literally as in the case of Congressman Steve Scalise. In this new age of political warfare, they have allowed the left to dictate the rules of engagement. In turn, the left has turned politics into the art of lying. They control the language that can be used and thus control the narrative. Anyone who thinks the left will play fair or use traditional methods to win debates or elections is dangerously naïve. These political ambushes are the metaphorical equivalent of a roadside IED. Often you wont know the lefts blast is coming until its too late in the election cycle when their eleventh-hour surprise smears or outright lies appear. Recall when former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney didnt pay his taxes for ten years. After the election when Reid was confronted about the outright lie he smugly responded, It worked didnt it?
Everyone should be awake to the predictable left. Their opposition research digs deep into a GOP candidates past, finding some innocuous clumsy statement, photo or connection even if it was decades ago and smears them with it as if it happened yesterday. They recently did it to Cindy Hyde-Smith in her U.S. Senate race as the Democrats engaged in their insidious game of identity politics.
Who is behind this? A few culprits are Media Matters, American Bridge, CREW and Shareblue. These are subversive leftist groups running a well-funded and organized Trump resistance movement. They are purveyors of misinformation and propaganda. They have made it clear that elections no longer matter unless they win. When they lose, they demand recounts, claim voter suppression and suspicious uncounted ballots will magically appear. Media Matters operative David Brock said in a confidential memo that, We will fight every day. Were going to resist the normalization of Donald Trump. Were going to contest every effort. In a training manual, Shareblue proclaimed that Trump allies would be forced to step down or change course due to news pushed by Shareblue. They organize boycotts and threaten corporations into not doing business with conservative groups. They conduct training courses on how to write letters and flood newspaper publishers to stop counterview op-eds from being published in liberal publications. They attack conservatives on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter and flood their administrators with complaints to get them shut down or suspended.
These are the leftist bullies that can at a moment's notice summon a mob of people to show up and raise hell. They were behind the smearing of Justice Brett Kavanaugh. They were the ones who were pounding on the doors of the U.S. Supreme Court trying to storm the gates. They engage in political violence, throw out false allegations of sexual assault or harassment, and race baiting along with other types of physical threats, physical violence, and property damage. They are undoubtedly behind the assaults against Republican elected officials and White House staff in public places like restaurants or at their homes.
These leftist groups are a formidable foe that the conservative side currently has no response. We need infrastructure, and we need to mobilize it quickly. I want to be clear. I do not advocate for violence, but I do advocate for more effective counter-tactics than the weak-kneed ones currently deployed.
This new conservative fighter has to rid themselves of their self-righteousness about the kind of tactics they will have to use to take on the lefts machine. For instance, taking the high road is an ineffective tactic against this foe as merely is expressing outrage. Proving that we are better than they are is useless. Besides, I already know I am better and dont have to prove that to anybody. This new political fighter has to be able to fight through whatever the left throws at them and not flinch, apologize, grovel or abandon a conservative or GOP candidate after an opposition research sneak attack. Think Trump supporter. They have to snicker at being called racist, homophobe, misogynist, lslamaphobe, and fight on. In other words, when the left metaphorically throws rocks, the new conservative fighter has to be willing to pick up those rocks and throw them back. If you need an example just watch how President Trump fearlessly takes on the left.
Many on the conservative side do not have the stomach for this. My response is then get used to losing elections. Get used to gun confiscation. Get used to government control over every aspect of your life. Get ready for totalitarian fascism. You can stop it. If you dare to change tactics and move to the front.
. ..was unaware of this information about Bevin. Thanks.
So true, but we are at the point where we are going to have to decide to live on our feet or die on our knees as serfs to the ever more Leftist totalitarianism.
For this to work, we need a conservative billionaire who can fund a handful of groups to get this started.
I would leave my job and organize a group if someone could take care of me financially.
I would start by scouring Free Republic and find the best writers, thinkers and activists. Bring them into the fold and ensure that their livelihood is secure.
Build them into an internet fighting force to strike at the socialist leaders on a daily basis and divide their people against each other (use #MeToo to create division) (use their jokes about homosexuals in the past to divide them).
We could destroy this, but it needs to be properly funded so the leaders can build a model that generates revenue and can become self sustaining while taking the fight to them.
I am not talking about a counter-strike force that reacts....but one that acts and cuts their leadership (elected or unelected) out from under them.
"Who is behind this? A few culprits are Media Matters, American Bridge, CREW and Shareblue. These are subversive leftist groups running a well-funded and organized Trump resistance movement. They are purveyors of misinformation and propaganda. They have made it clear that elections no longer matter unless they win.

Sheriff Clarke is a regular on AM1301 WIBA, which is my local Conservative AM radio station. (Dan Conry, Rush, Hannity - for only an hour - and Vicki McKenna. You can find them on I Heart Radio. A really terrific line-up!)
He was pounding this home the other day, and while many of us agree with him, sadly, he's not going to gain any traction with the failing, complicit GOPe.
Left & Right are in this TOGETHER, versus 'We The People.'
Thank Goodness we have PDJT slowing our demise, and he has made great strides, but unless we can thin out the RINOs and elect even more Patriots, I fear we are doomed.
"A Republic, Madam. If you can keep it." ~ Benjamin Franklin
"What if you have a job and a family to support? Are we supposed to charge ahead while they get us fired and then go work flipping burgers while fighting the left?"
What's the alternative?
. .get used to losing elections. Get used to gun confiscation. Get used to government control over every aspect of your life. Get ready for totalitarian fascism.
I would say, we have no choice.
Correction: AM 1310!
Well, I do what I can without attracting attention.
Last line of the Declaration Of Independence reads, "we mutually pledge to each other our lives,our fortunes, and our SACRED HONOR". Can we do any less?
"Let me be blunt." Sheriff David Clarke
That's an attention-getter!
You nailed it. My thought for years......... and an accurate observation of the past........
there is danger of becoming them if you use the same tactics
Same means, different ends.
The major definition of conservatism IS respect for law, life and people. One we start acting like them, we become them.
Having said that, I applaud Trump. But Trump is a results oriented person, his focus is on the goal. Once we focus on the method, we are lost....................................
Law enforcers and judges are supposed to handle that, but they've chosen a side, and it's not ours.
Kinda reminds me of professional wrestling.
That is absolute bull shit
You would one of those huddled on the arena floor cringing at the coming assault of the hungry lions
There are plenty of retired or returning conservatives who could man a phone bank ready to "politely scream" at any school principle who advocates for LGBT causes or other stupid public school policy. Get to the leaders in public schools. They are one of the biggest causes of Western Civilization's demise. They've been at it for decades.
All we have to do is tell it like it is. Don't even need to use Bible verses.
How do you think we won WWI and WWII? Making nice with our enemies?
That is the way. There are times when quietly doing GOP opposition research in Democrat-run courthouses, I was helped by government employees who whispered things I should know and places I should look, or shoved notes into my hand, or even put entire files before me.
The newly created Republican Party that altered America began in the 1850s with a surge of strong local candidates and had the backing of the leading publisher of the time, Horace Greeley.
The Founding Fathers were comfortably middle class or wealthy, and were much younger than today's would-be revolutionaries. They had the backing of financiers like Haym Solomon, and foreign governments like France, Netherlands and Spain.
Doesn't look like either of those situations these days, with everyone addicted to federal deficit spending.

Enjoy the video below and let's take a look at what you can do to stand out from your competition after.
[youtube id="r-77ec8oCls" mode="normal" align="center" autoplay="no"]
OK, so now you know what most agents are doing, and as an expert real estate virtual assistant I have to tell you it's not pretty. So the question is: how can you make your marketing stand out? Here is a list of what your clients want to hear when looking for a real estate agent.
- They want to know what you will do to sell their home.
- They want to know what you have sold in the past and how long it took.

It's really that simple. They want and need to know what you will do to help them meet their goal of buying or selling a home. When you focus on the benefits for your potential buyers and sellers in your marketing you will see a vast improvement over what you have been seeing.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Animals "do the locomotion" every day, whether it's walking down the hall to get some coffee or darting up a tree to avoid a predator. And until now, scientists believed the inner workings of movement were pretty much the same -- the nerves send a message to the muscles and there is motion.
But in a first-of-its-kind study on wild green anole lizards, biologists at the University of California, Riverside have discovered that the link between muscle function and movement is a lot more complicated than anyone realized.
"We were trying to understand how animals move in trees; how muscle, in general, deals with something as complex as climbing a tree, with its horizontal and vertical inclines, the tiny little branches and the upright trunks," said Kathleen Foster, a Ph.D. student in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology, who performed the study. "We were expecting to find that as the movements were changing, the muscles would be generating those changes; we'd just show that and move on. Instead, we saw there isn't always this tight relationship between activity in the muscles and the movement we're seeing. Now we have new questions about how animals work."
"No one has ever looked at this before," said Timothy Higham, an assistant professor of biology and Foster's graduate adviser. "A lot of people study anoles and a lot of people remove muscles and study them in a lab, as opposed to measuring the muscles in the animal as it's moving. Our work brings the lab into the forest, and it can help us answer questions about how these animals are doing what they're doing and why they're so diverse."
Foster and Higham's findings were published March 12 in the British biology journal, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, a journal from the same publisher that featured papers by Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin.
In their study, "Context-dependent changes in motor control and kinematics during locomotion: modulation and decoupling," Foster surgically inserted electrodes into the forelimbs and hind limbs of seven male green anole lizards. She then tracked the lizard movements on a flat and 90-degree incline and a broad and narrow perch, using high-speed video to record movements and electromyography to monitor electrical activity in the muscles.
"We expected to see a one-to-one correlation between the muscle activity and movements because motion is generally driven by muscles," Higham said, "but as we changed the structure of their habitat and they changed their motions, we were surprised to find very few accompanying changes in muscle activity."
For instance, the researchers found that while the lizard movements changed considerably when they were running along narrow perches (compared to broad perches), there were few significant changes in muscle activity. And when the lizards were running up an incline, they noted more changes in muscle activity than movement.
"This generally means we can't understand what the muscles are doing just by what we see," Higham said. "We also found that variability in muscle activity differed between the treatments, raising another question: Does variability in muscle activity reflect a preferred way of moving or just reflect what they've always done? This has unearthed a lot of questions about ecology, evolution, how parts of animals evolve and how they respond to their environment."
Though these 2-inch-long green anoles weigh just 5 grams -- about the same as a U.S. nickel -- their muscles work the same way as every other vertebrate.
"This means what we learn from studying their muscle function could well apply to a variety of fields," Foster said.
The study's findings also raise new questions in ecomorphology -- how habitat and environment affect an organism's anatomy. The study found that muscle activity in the green anoles was most consistent on broad, vertical surfaces, such as tree trunks, "suggesting that, despite being classified as a trunk-crown ecomorph, this species may prefer trunks," Foster said.
The study has implications also for people who design artificial limbs or robots.
"Clearly, locomotion is not as simple as we thought it was," Foster said. "This decoupling -- big changes in movement without corresponding changes in muscle activity -- suggests there are other important factors going on and we need to better understand them if we want to reproduce these movements in prosthetics or robotics."
Funding for the study was provided by a postgraduate scholarship to Foster from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada; and a grant to Higham from the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Thorite, (Th,U)SiO4, is a rare nesosilicate of thorium that crystallizes in the tetragonal system and is isomorphous with zircon. It is the most common mineral of thorium and is nearly always strongly radioactive. It was named in 1829 to reflect its thorium content.
Specimens of thorite generally come from igneous pegmatites and volcanic extrusive rocks, hydrothermal veins and contact metamorphic rocks. It is also known to occur as small grains in detrital sands. Crystals are rare, but when found can produce nicely shaped short prismatic crystals with pyramidal terminations.
Thorite is currently an important ore of uranium. A variety of thorite, often called "uranothorite", is particularly rich in uranium and has been a viable uranium ore at Bancroft in Ontario, Canada. Other varieties of thorite include "orangite", an orange variety, and "calciothorite", an impure variety with trace amounts of calcium.
Thorite is commonly metamict and hydrated, making it optically isotropic and amorphous. Owing to differences in composition, the specific gravity varies from 4.4 to 6.6 g/cm3. Hardness is 4.5 and the luster is vitreous or resinous. The color is normally black, but also brownish black, orange, yellowish-orange and dark green.
Because thorite is highly radioactive, specimens are often metamict. This is a condition found in radioactive minerals that results from the destructive effects of its own radiation on its crystal lattice. The effect can destroy a crystal lattice completely while leaving the outward appearance unchanged.

Jim Carrey's God-like comedy Bruce Almighty, ahem, deified the odds over the four-day Memorial Day weekend by crushing the all-powerful Matrix Reloaded. Bruce debuted at No. 1 with a miraculous $86.4 million, the best non-sequel comedy opening in history and a personal best for Carrey. That pushed Matrix to No. 2 with $45.6 million a steep 60 percent decline from its huge opening weekend haul. (Again, I blame that painfully drawn-out Zion dance sequence.) Rounding out the top five: Daddy Day Care (No. 3 with $18 million), X2: X-Men United (No. 4 with $13 million) and the new Michael Douglas-Albert Brooks comedy The In-Laws (No. 5 with $9.1 million).

Wolverine Isn't Asking the Right Question
By Ben Kayser, Associate Editor, with Tom Snyder, Editor
THE WOLVERINE is the sixth film in the X-MEN franchise, and, sadly, it's the least redeeming movie of the series. In it, we see the evils that come from an Eastern, Buddhist worldview, including the weak moral code that comes with it. Wolverine, whose real name is Logan, struggles with the fact that his physical body keeps healing itself, making his body virtually immortal. Already having lived for more than 150 years, Logan has seen loved ones come and go, including the latest love of his life, Jean Grey. All he wishes now is that he could live a normal life.
This aspect of Logan's immortality is the main theme of the movie THE WOLVERINE. Yashida, a wealthy Japanese capitalist who's dying, offers to give Logan the opportunity to transfer his immortality to him.
Why is it that humans have the desire to live forever? In THE WOLVERINE, the answer is clear. According to Yashida's Buddhist worldview, he has no eternal soul that will live on after he dies. To avoid reincarnating as a different person, his greed drives him to seek eternal life on earth. His earthly body is all he has to live for, and he has dedicated his whole life to living forever.
What he fails to understand, or chooses to reject, is that everyone will already live forever.
Thus, the real question that Logan and Yashida should be asking is, Will people live happily ever after in Heaven or painfully forever in Hell?
In THE WOLVERINE movie, it is said that eternity is a curse. This is one of the movie's truest statements. These characters that live a life apart from Jesus are living an eternal curse. Thankfully, however, Jesus Christ has broken the curse, IF we choose to believe and trust in Him and Him alone. Then, we can live immortally and eternally with Him in Heaven.
Non-Christians often challenge believers to tell them why a loving God would send people to Hell. What they fail to consider, however, is that the only people who go to Hell are those who truly want to be there, those who reject Jesus and those refuse to go to the Heaven that Jesus Christ created for them.
Living with an immortal physical body, without any fellowship with the Son of God who created that body for you and died for your sins, can indeed be a kind of living Hell. What the characters in THE WOLVERINE truly need and truly want is fellowship with the One True God. Without that, we have nothing.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
– The Bible, Revelation 21:4.

93.7 FM WEEI host Mike Mutnansky gave Metro his take on the rankings of the Top 12 Boston sports teams of the past 12 years. You can listen to Mut on pre, post and in-game broadcasts for Red Sox baseball on the WEEI Red Sox Radio Network.
Which team was ranked too low and why?
Holy moly. Did Matt Burke sleep through the Patriots 2001 season? They won with a Year 2 Tom Brady. Beat the unbeatable Steelers on the road, then the Greatest Show on Turf … ON TURF in the Super Bowl. And it started a dynasty. Way too low at No. 8.
Which team was ranked too high and why?
The 2007 Red Sox. I'd have them behind the 2013 Red Sox team. Last year's turnaround from 2012 was something.
Which team was snubbed from landing in the top 12?
That 2008 Red Sox team would be a tough team for me to leave out. A Josh Beckett injury away from getting back to the World Series.

This video is from Shimoga, a city in the state of Karnataka, India. The motorcyclist got his head cracked open and as far as I can see, there's no brain in the cavity. That he wasn't wearing a safety helmet is pretty clear, but how he came by this skull crack I do not know. He may have ran into another vehicle, but I think it's more probable that he was knocked off the bike and had his head run over.
There was always somebody stuffing their head in front of the camera filming this video. Brutal footage otherwise. Props to Best Gore member the_dude for the hook up:

This study thrashes out some of the visualisation and computational challenges encountered in the field of neuroscience. With the intention to address such computational challenges; we recognised the particular significance of the iterative solvers and parallel algorithms on Multi-Core parallel computing atmosphere. In order to detect tumour cells, 2D and 3D Partial Differential Equations (PDE) are considered and compared by using Multi-Core parallel computing atmosphere with visualisation, communication and data analysis. The performance analysis of Multi-Core computing is presented in provisions of speedup, efficiency, effectiveness and temporal performance where the use of 2D and 3D PDEs and parallel algorithms was found to give in remarkable results.

Does anyone have the marathon thirty hour course Introduction to Lightwave by Splinegod Larry Schultz ? I'll be honest and say I have asked some individual members but no one seems to know. Even if someone does a "Yes, I've got it but I'm not selling it to you" I would still be happy it is not lost to history.
The reason I ask about this specific course is because I was recently lucky enough to obtain a Lightwave haul from Ebay Germany with LW editions going back from version 5, plus some training materials (pic !). Some of these items still look good today, and included was the full Professional Character Series by Larry Schultz (original discs personally issued), and I became much more intrigued by the past and wanting to see the Introduction to Lightwave course. I admit it is not essential per se, but I am planning to soon lock myself away from humanity for a little while and go on a Lightwave bender to crack some things, and Splinegod's material is still excellent (in my view).
On that note, can someone clear up a little mystery for me. Who is the strange space lizard (?) sometimes seen on the old Courses pages ? Where does he feature ?
I appreciate there may be some other considerations here, so I would deal with payment(s) however any owner felt was the best way. Many thanks.

Earth Protectors
Indigenous Resistance meets Mur Movement
The Saami of Sápmi (a vast arctic region stretching over Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia) are the only indigenous people left in Europe and they have been fighting against the destruction of their homeland and culture for centuries. Today they´re still under attack by ruthless extractivist corporations and governments. Aslak Holmberg, activist and member of the Saami Parliament from Njuorggán, will share some of the rich experience of indigenous resistance with workshop participants. Members of the movement to stop the construction of Murkraftwerk, the hydro-electric power plant in the heart of Graz, will share some of their recent experience.
Which strategies and tactics can be successful in David versus Goliath struggles? What can activists from Graz learn from indigenous movements? How can new people join the fight against the destructive forces within our city?

The Failure of Input-based Schooling Policies
NBER Working Paper No. 9040
In an effort to improve the quality of schools, governments around the world have dramatically increased the resources devoted to them. By concentrating on inputs and ignoring the incentives within schools, the resources have yielded little in the way of general improvement in student achievement. This paper provides a review of the United States and international evidence on the effectiveness of such input policies. It then contrasts the impact of resources with that of variations in teacher quality that are not systematically related to school resources. Finally, alternative performance incentive policies are described.

Cornish pasties
|3 tsp
|Baking powder
|4 cups
|1 pinch
|100 g
|1¾ cups
|Waxy potatoes
|250 g
|Beef sirloin
|1 to taste
|Salt & freshly ground pepper
Egg glaze
- To make the pastry, place the flour, baking powder, salt and butter in a bowl. Using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre of the mixture. Add the milk to the well and mix until the mixture forms a firm but pliable dough.
- To make the filling, place the cubed steak, peeled and cubed potatoes and diced onion in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to 5mm thick. Using a small plate as a guide, cut out four circles. Place a mound of the filling in the centre of each circle. Dampen round the edge of the pastry with a little of the egg glaze.
- Fold over the pastry to cover the filling, forming a half-moon shape. Crimp the edges to secure the filling. Make a small slit in the pastries to let out steam.
- Place pastries on a lightly greased baking tray and brush with egg glaze to coat. Bake in an oven heated to 200 degC for 40 minutes or until the undersides turn brown and crisp.

North Korea has carried out a third nuclear test in defiance of United Nations warnings.
The move prompted criticism from its sole major ally, China, and condemnation around the world.
The North Korean news agency said the underground test used a smaller, lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force than before.
Observers say it could take North Korea closer to building a war-head small enough to arm a long-range missile.

I've been seeing pumpkin recipes on Pinterest for over a month now. I'm not sure why, but I've chosen to resist it. "It's too dang early!" But not anymore...
See also: - Iced Coffee All Day, Every Day - Thanks to Pinterest - Whipping Up that Bourbon Chocolate Milkshake from Pinterest - Ward Off Halloween Candy with These Vegan, No-Bake Almond Butter Bars
Nothing says fall like a pumpkin latte -- but just a few days in, and you're feeling the pinch of too many stops at the drive-thru Starbucks.
Pin-up Girl is here to the rescue.
In my usual manner of failing to plan ahead I set out to make my first pumpkin latte without having read the recipe thoroughly. Naturally, the recipe calls for pumpkin pie spice and I didn't have it. Luckily, I had previously pinned a DIY homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe to one of my boards. I've said it once and I'll say it again - Pinterest always knows what you're looking for before you're even looking for it.
Turns out, I had all of the things to make the DIY homemade pumpkin pie spice recipe.
Ingredients: 2 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Measure all spices into a jar. Seal with the lid and shake to combine. Measures 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice.
Now for the good stuff - Pumpkin Spice Latte by Averie Cooks.
Ingredients: 1. Coffee (a pot, a cup, in whatever fashion and however you prefer making your coffee. The stronger the better) I used 4 tablespoons of coffee to 1 cup of water brewed in a french press.
2 . Pumpkin Milk 1 c milk (I used almond milk but use any kind you want -- from half and half to rice milk) 1/4 heaping cup pumpkin puree (more if you really love pumpkin) 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice blend, or to taste 1 tsp cinnamon, or to taste 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 tbsp brown sugar, or to taste
Combine the pumpkin milk ingredients in a blender (what I used) or by hand.
3. Pour 1 cup of brewed coffee into a mug and pour half of the pumpkin milk mixture over the top of the coffee and enjoy.
Results: I liked this recipe because the spices really come through, but if you're not accustomed to it, it may take some getting used to. The original author says, "The spices will not "blend" or entirely dissolve. This is to be expected and normal. If this bothers you, this may not the recipe for you and you may want to experiment with other recipes or techniques."
The only downside I found to this recipe is that it only makes enough for two drinks. While I love making things fresh, I don't always have the time. So I decided to explore another recipe that would make enough for more than just two.
This pumpkin spice latte recipe comes from a blog called Portuguese Girl Cooks. The recipe makes enough for 12 drinks! That's what I'm talkin' about.
2/3 cup agave 1 cup water 6 tablespoon pure pumpkin puree 2 cinnamon sticks 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon cloves
*Because of my experience with the previous recipe, I chose to combine the ingredients in a blender first because it breaks up the pumpkin much faster than a whisk.
In a small saucepan, combine the agave, water, pumpkin puree, and spices, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and heat the syrup for about 5 additional minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and allow to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
The recipe says to line a jar with cheesecloth, and pour the syrup through but I didn't find that necessary after having blended it. You will probably end up with some pumpkin that doesn't go through the cloth, and that's okay. Just give it a little squeeze to get out the rest of the syrup and then discard.
Store the syrup in the fridge up to 1 month. (We'll finish it waaaay before the month is up, right?)
For the latte:
Again, make coffee in whatever manner you prefer. I used 4 tablespoons to 1 cup water in a french press.

Add 2 tablespoons syrup and desired amount of steamed or warmed milk to your prepared coffee.
I skipped the milk part and added the syrup to a cold-brewed iced coffee. It's not a latte, but it's darn good.
Happy pumpkin season!

Rustic bridal session at the White Sparrow Barn
I have been dying to shoot at the White Sparrow Barn in Quinlan, TX. So bad. And finally it happened. And it's as amazing as everyone has said. The light in there is insane! Shelley decided it would make the perfect backdrop for her bridal portraits. She and her fiancé were planning a Mexico destination wedding, so she wanted to take her portraits locally. Shelley has impeccable style….choosing a Vera Wang dress from Warren Barron called "Manuela". Her dress was perfect at White Sparrow Barn. Adri with Moss Floral created the most beautiful organic and colorful bouquet, which complimented Shelley's gown perfectly! Such rich tones of purples and pinks really translated well onto Fuji film too! Being a Dallas film wedding photographer, I absolutely love shooting fine art weddings full of rich details. Stay tuned for their wedding post on the blog here soon too! Their destination wedding in Playa del Carmen was perfection!

Do you love your life? That's a tough question to answer, I know. In fact, the 2017 Harris Poll Survey of American Happinesss found that just one in three people are happy with their lives. Look, it's okay to have bad days—we all do. With social media around, it's easy to compare your life to the edited version of someone else's. And yes, that means sometimes we really do just need a duvet day. But it's not all bad—there's joy to be found in the tiniest moments. In fact, that's a small part of loving your life and feeling happier. Below, find three tips that will help you love your life today and right now. We found them on Lululemon's website whilst hunting down the perfect pair of leggings (the Align Pant, $98, in case you were wondering).
Be Present
It's so easy to get caught up in on what your life could be like if you were x, y or z. If you're always focused on tomorrow, you can miss the beauty of today. Laura Sugden writes, "If your favourite song comes on the radio while you're getting ready, savour it. … Pay attention. Maybe notice if someone [near you] would appreciate your seat. It will take you around three seconds to do it, but you'll treasure that moment. That connection of kindness could be the one highlight of your morning, or it could be one of a thousand highlights. The point is, you need to give yourself chance to see those highlights. Call it being present, call it mindfulness, call it Dave—it works."
Not sure how to live more mindfully? These two books should help you get started.
A practical guide to finding happiness every day.
This little book shares 40 ways to be more mindful every day.
Don't Talk Down to Yourself
A big part of self-care is addressing our internal dialogue. According to the law of attraction, your thoughts are connected to how you feel, and how you feel is connected to what you do. Positive thoughts will spark a cycle of positivity. If your inner voice is negative, it's unlikely you'll reach the goals you set for yourself. If you tell yourself you're not good enough, those dreams are likely to move further and further away. Which is why it's time to flip the script and recite the following mantras:
I am enough.
I am capable.
I am deserving.
"Where negative self-talkers are generally more pessimistic, positive self-talkers are proven to benefit from longer life spans, better immune systems, cope better under stress and enjoy better physical health," Sugden reflects.
Sweat Yourself Happy
We all know that exercise releases endorphins that make us happy, but so often we view exercise as a chore. Hate the gym? Why spend money on a membership? Instead, try out Zumba or a yoga class. Trampolining and climbing are fun options. How about stand-up paddle-boarding or Go Ape? Or if those sound too outdoorsy, what about cranking up your favourite tunes and dancing around in your living room?
According to psychologist Shawn Achor, completing 10 minutes of exercise a day trains your brain to think that your behaviour matters and that you can make a difference in your life.

I shall admit that I was pretty amazed to see Nokia Lumia in hands of Jenifer Lopez in her new video song "Live it Up". The display of the Windows phone was just stunning in the song where they displayed a bold Windows Phone styled SMS conversation between Jennifer Lopez and her fellow artist Pitbull. This is the most notable example of Windows phone publicity while there are Android based phones and Apple's iPhone as competitors. Microsoft claims that new Nokia Lumia is better than iPhone and better than Android powered phones. Still in the competition, Windows phones have not lost style and liking among users. Now there are many free and paid security solutions for Android and iPhone, have we any security solution for family and kids on Windows phone?
Computer system security and stability also depends on: "how strong is your backup system"? We are going to share a freeware that protects Windows PC data by providing you powerful backup management tools. A good backup manager should be able to take data backup on demand, take scheduled backups, create disk image, clone hard drives, encrypt backup data, compress backup data and create rescue data backup disk in case of emergency.

TSgt. Winfield "Bing" Wood's combat mission record shows the paratrooper and supply missions during D-Day and also the later Operation Market Garden mission on 17 September 1944.
In 1944 Bing was assigned to the 61st Troop Carrier Squadron in Saltby, England. After his squadron received a new C-47 Skytrain, he named it "Turf & Sport Special" after his favorite horse-racing magazine. With Bing as the aerial engineer, "Turf & Sport" dropped 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers and supplies on 5 June 1944 in support of Operation Neptune, commonly known as D-Day. Bing and his airplane also flew missions in support of Operation Market Garden.
"Turf & Sport Special" has been part of the museum's aircraft collection since 1986.

Dog Urban Mushing Becoming More Popular
Southern California. Known for its warm beaches, tan people, palm trees, and mushing. Yes, urban mushing, that is. It is also called dog scootering. Basically, it's mushing minus the snow.
Dogs are strapped into harnesses and leashes are tethered to a non-motorized scooter just below the handlebars. The owner stands on a platform. The scooters, which cost $200 to $700, are equipped with brakes and knobby tires that ride over the trail's rocks and potholes more like a mountain bike than a sled over snow.
For owners, they say scootering is a chance to bond with their dogs. For some dogs, it is quite an adjustment from sleeping on the couch to urban mushing.
Members of Dogs Across America, a national scootering group founded in 2005, say their membership rolls have increased particularly in Texas, Washington and California.
From Yahoo News:
A recent outing of the Southern California Working Snow Dogs included huskies, malamutes, dobermans and a dalmatian — many of which had never put paw to snow. Other scootering groups boast photos of more unexpected breeds, including standard poodles.
The Southern California group, which started in 2005, has about 240 members, about 50 of whom show up most weekends to traverse Fairview Park in Costa Mesa, about 40 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
"They're basically in the den waiting to go hunt. They want to start running and hunting," said urban musher Rob Fuechtenicht. "When you hook them to the scooter, you're riding behind them and they're in this doggy nirvana kind of stage.

EHEDG is the most influential European network in the area of food safety. The principal goal of EHEDG is the promotion of quality and safe food by improving hygienic engineering and design in all aspects of food manufacture. Established in 1989, it represents a consortium of equipment manufacturers, food industries, food producers, research and education institutions, as well as public health authorities that has an aim to promote food hygiene during its production, packaging and distribution.
EHEDG actively supports European legislation, which requires that handling, preparation processing and packaging of food is done hygienically using hygienic machinery and in hygienic premises (EC Directive 2006/42/EC for Machinery, EN 1672-2 and EN ISO 14159 Hygiene requirement).
The equipment manufacturers and users are responsible to implement these requirements and EHEDG provides them guidance on the essential hygienic design standards in compliance with national and international legislation.
But food safety does not end at the borders of Europe. That's why EHEDG actively promotes global harmonization of guidelines and standards. The US-based organizations NSF and 3-A have agreed to co-operate in the development of EHEDG Guidelines and in turn, EHEDG cooperates in the development of 3-A and NSF standards.

The US-based organisations NSF and 3-A have agreed to co-operate in the development of EHEDG Guidelines and in turn, EHEDG co-operates in the development of 3-A and NSF standards.
The main objective of EHEDG is to promote food safety by improving hygienic engineering and design in all aspects of food production.
EHEDG provides practical management of hygienic engineering aspects of the safe and quality food production. Founded in 1989, a consortium of manufacturers of equipment, producers of food products, researchers and educational institutions and public health authorities aimed to promote food hygiene in the production and packaging.
EHEDG actively supports the legislation under which requests handling, preparation, processing and packaging of food must be carried out hygienically, using machinery and hygienic sanitary facilities (EC Directive 98/37/EC, EN 1672-2 and EN ISO 14159).
EHEDG focus on engineering in food production, particularly:
- Equipment and building design as well as cleanabillity
- Equipment and building installation
- Industrial services, equipment and utilities
- Maintenance of assets
The Guidelines development is the responsibility of EHEDG working groups, distributed in following clusters:
- Equipment and Components
- Principles
- Processing Services and Materials
- Training and Education
Until now, experts in the EHEDG subgroups drafted and published more than 40 Guidelines which are regularly updated. In the meantime, the guideline series is enriched with few new titles and themes. EHEDG Guidelines have special value to customers because:
- there is a collection of experts knowledge
- theory is put into practice, supplemented by practical oriented training modules
- they have been translated into various languages and used worldwide
All these events are actually places for meeting of all EHEDG members with representatives from industries and governments of many countries, particularly in terms of hygienic engineering.
Whenever possible, workshops and business meetings are organized for:
- Exchange of knowledge and networking
- Creation and following innovations, new trends and developments
- Dissemination of guidelines
- Improving the quality of training
EHEDG Training courses are especially designed for food industry trainers who want to gain deeper understanding of hygienic engineering and design, as well as their application. They are relevant to technologists, personnel responsible for quality assurance, and engineers working on the equipment development and sale. Trainings have a balance between theoretical and practical part, and basically represent the use of EHEDG Trainer's Toolbox. Made with the European Commission support, these teaching aids include most modern academic engineering applications, supplemented with: paintings, drawings, animations and videos.
EHEDG can approve the use of the certification logo on equipment or products which are in conformity with the EHEDG criteria.
Certification of equipment manufacturers and suppliers and food producers made by the EHEDG authorized institutions as follows:
With approval of the EHEDG authorized organizations which are in compliance with the EHEDG criteria. In certain cases approval may be given only after testing laboratories accredited by a notified body, using EHEDG test methods.
By supplying hygienically designed equipment although acquires will need to perform validation that equipment is adequate for the intended purpose
To apply for evaluation and / or testing of equipment or products for certification, you should contact one of the authorized EHEDG institutions. The addresses of these organizations and the list of certified products / components are published on the EHEDG website.

The Delhi High Court today closed the contempt proceedings against the Directorate of Education (DoE) while lauding its efforts for providing on its website all data pertaining to facilities for disabled kids in private unaided schools.
A bench of justices S Ravindra Bhat and R K Gauba while appreciating the efforts of the DoE also observed that it could have done so much earlier.
The order was passed after DoE submitted before the court that it has inspected 351 private unaided schools in the capital and of these 231 were found to have facilities to cater to children with special needs (CWSN).
It also told the bench that the details of the facilities available in the 231 schools have been uploaded on its website www.Edudel.Nic.In and are easily accessible from a scroll running on the left side of the site.
While closing the contempt proceedings, the bench listed the matter on February 25 to examine the issue of admission process of disabled kids and how it can be monitored by the nodal agencies set up by DoE.
The submissions by DoE came pursuant to the court's directions to it to give on its website "zone-wise" details of private unaided schools which could cater to the requirement of CWSN in the 2015-16 academic year.
It had also directed DoE to inspect the schools and verify the information given by them.
The court was hearing a contempt plea filed by Pramod Arora, through senior advocate Kirti Uppal and advocate Anshumaan Sahni, alleging that the court's May 7, 2014, order to reserve seats for CWSN in schools that can cater to them has not been complied with.
Arora, father of a differently-abled child, had initially challenged the Lieutenant Governor's nursery admission guidelines which clubbed CWSN with children belonging economically weaker section (EWS) category.
Pursuant to this, the high court had held that the clubbing of CWSN with EWS for nursery admissions was illegal.

It is safe to go watch a live soccer game in Paraguay?
I saw that soccer is the national sport of Paraguay. It is safe to go watch a live game?
2 Answers
Lonnie, it is pretty safe, though you should know that preferencias are the best place in the stadium where most "easy going" fans go. Maybe try not wearing an Olimpia shirt or a Cerro shirt when those two play ;) about 9 years agoAnswered by CFKB via Ask a Nomad iPad app
It's pretty safe as long as you don't wear any of the local teams t-shirts... buy tickets to either platea or preferencias and you'll be ok. The best matches are always played at Estadio Defensores del Chaco... I'd recommend you to go when Paraguay's team's playing, rather than one of the local teams... the international matches are far more interesting and safer to be at about 9 years agoAnswered by MiaT. via Ask a Nomad iPad app

It's a day ending in -day, which means it is time for another Jeff Gundlach fire sermon, as transcribed by Reuters. And while in his most recent address to the mortals the new bond king from DoubleLine focused on tremors in the bond market, predicting that "credit fund bankruptcies are coming," and that "the VIX needs to surge above 40 before a bottom can be made in the high-yield junk bond market", today he focused on a topic we have been covering all day, namely the collapse of faith in central bankers and the ascent of gold as a preferred asset class to paper money and bank deposits.
In his latest communication with the outside world, Gundlach said that gold prices are likely to reach $1400 an ounce "as investors lose faith in central banks", Reuters reported.
"The evidence that negative rates are harmful and not helpful has piled up to the point that the 'In Central Banks We Trust' mantra has finally been laid bare as a hoax," Gundlach said.
Well, yes, even Bloomberg finally admitted it.
But the question is why does Gundlach see gold rising to only $1400. After all if, as JPM calculated the ECB, BOJ and Fed will cut rates to as low at -4.5%, then gold - as the only form of currency that will remain in physical form and is not taxable (at least until the government confiscates it) - will end up far, far higher than just $1,400, which is less than 15% from the current price.
Indeed, if the Chinese population decides to reallocate just a tiny fraction of their $25 trillion in deposits away from cash and into gold ahead of the inevitable massive Chinese devaluation, the question is how many zeroes Gundlach's forecast will be off by.
Anyway, back to Gundlach who said that negative rates are highly correlated with equities, particularly with banks and financials. Their stocks have come under severe selling pressure as negative rates would hurt their balance sheets.
"What's scaring people is the '12 rate hikes in three years' in the dots. When are they going to change the dots? They are still there," Gundlach said about the Fed's dot plot.
He repeeated that "the market is going to humiliate the Fed. It's bizarro to have rate hike projections while at the same time, Yellen is talking about negative rates. What a mess."
Gundlach's predictive track record speaks for itself: last year, Gundlach correctly predicted that oil prices would plunge, junk bonds would live up to their name and China's slowing economy would pressure emerging markets. In 2014, Gundlach correctly also forecast U.S. Treasury yields would fall, not rise as many others had expected.
"The Fed raising rates in this environment is unthinkable," Gundlach said. Gundlach also told Reuters that he purchased more Puerto Rico general obligation bonds at around 70 cents on the dollar. He added: "You make money on the short side. The market is moving too fast for the Fed to keep up."
Or, if one wants to avoid the threat of idiotic short squeezes driven by idiotic headlines such as the recurring "OPEC is cutting production" hoax (note: the Saudis aren't cutting anything until the US shale sector lies in a rubble of chapter 11s and 7s), one can just buy gold.
Yes, the BIS will do its best to slam it down with naked shorting, but that only provides lower entry points to accumulate positions in a commodity which as even the Amazon Post's Keynesian lackey correctly put it, is "a bet that the people in charge don't know what they're doing."
If by now it is not clear that the people in charge are idiots - and the US 2016 presidential race should have sealed it - it never will be.
