Reapit has launched a platform, cloud infrastructure and marketplace called Foundations which aims to provide "all the PropTech solutions" for agencies' existing activities and future growth.
In front of 400 attendees in London - including a string of estate agencies, PropTech firms and portals Rightmove and Zoopla - senior Reapit figures said the new offering was in response to demands from agencies and IT developers to integrate with the company's software, and to build upon the existing service with their own bespoke solutions.
Chief executive Gary Barker told the audience that Reapit was becoming the first property CRM to open its platform and customer base to third party development, but that this was not 'PropTech just for the sake of it' - instead it was solving problems that agents and other industry figures had themselves identified.
He said agents typically use 15 to 20 pieces of software meaning 15 to 20 individual logins: instead, he said he wanted 15 apps which would be easier to use and manage.
Central to the new service is the app marketplace which will see customers have tested and approved apps offered to them.
"All apps built into Foundations share an integrated, secure data and identity management model for advanced security and easy integration. Apps published on the App Marketplace will contain ready-to-use functionality, enterprise-grade reliability and meet full compliance. There will be zero maintenance costs for customers, and upgrades will be rolled out on an automated basis" said a statement from the firm.
There will also be a portal facility, allowing PropTech developers to build apps using their preferred tools, languages and frameworks, and publish them to the marketplace, thus giving access to Reapit's customer base of over 40,000 users worldwide.
Barker said: "We're trying to empower more people with our technology" in such a way that it would "take away the manual grunt work' for agents, as there's now so much admin and it's only going to get more and more."
Agents attending the launch event included Acorn, Arun Estates, Chestertons, Countrywide, Connells, LSL, Keller Williams, Leaders Romans and Savills.

It is often quite hard to distinguish between scope and linkage, and the roles they play. This article focuses on scope and linkage, and how they are used in C language.
Note: All C programs have been compiled on 64 bit GCC 4.9.2. Also, the terms "identifier" and "name" have been used interchangeably in this article.
- Scope : Scope of an identifier is the part of the program where the identifier may directly be accessible. In C, all identifiers are lexically (or statically) scoped.
- Linkage : Linkage describes how names can or can not refer to the same entity throughout the whole program or one single translation unit.
The above sounds similar to Scope, but it is not so. To understand what the above means, let us dig deeper into the compilation process.
- Translation Unit : A translation unit is a file containing source code, header files and other dependencies. All of these sources are grouped together in a file for they are used to produce one single executable object. It is important to link the sources together in a meaningful way. For example, the compiler should know that
printfdefinition lies in
stdioheader file.
In C and C++, a program that consists of multiple source code files is compiled one at a time. Until the compilation process, a variable can be described by it's scope. It is only when the linking process starts, that linkage property comes into play. Thus, scope is a property handled by compiler, whereas linkage is a property handled by linker.
The Linker links the resources together in the linking stage of compilation process. The Linker is a program that takes multiple machine code files as input, and produces an executable object code. It resolves symbols (i.e, fetches definition of symbols such as "+" etc..) and arranges objects in address space.
Linkage is a property that describes how variables should be linked by the linker. Should a variable be available for another file to use? Should a variable be used only in the file declared? Both are decided by linkage.
Linkage thus allows you to couple names together on a per file basis, scope determines visibility of those names.
There are 2 types of linkage:
- Internal Linkage: An identifier implementing internal linkage is not accessible outside the translation unit it is declared in. Any identifier within the unit can access an identifier having internal linkage. It is implemented by the keyword
static. An internally linked identifier is stored in initialized or uninitialized segment of RAM. (note:
staticalso has a meaning in reference to scope, but that is not discussed here).
Some Examples:
// C code to illustrate Internal Linkage
#include <stdio.h>
animals = 8;
i = 5;
"%d %d"
, i, animals);
The above code implements static linkage on identifier
animals. Consider
Feed.cppis located in the same translation unit.
// C code to illustrate Internal Linkage
#include <stdio.h>
animals = 2;
, animals);
On compiling Animals.cpp first and then Feed.cpp, we get
Output : 5 8 2
Now, consider that Feed.cpp is located in a different translation unit. It will compile and run as above only if we use
#include "Animals.cpp".
Consider Wash.cpp located in a 3rd translation unit.
// C code to illustrate Internal Linkage
#include <stdio.h>
#include "animal.cpp" // note that animal is included.
"\n having fun washing!"
animals = 10;
, animals);
On compiling, we get:
Output : 5 8 having fun washing! 10
There are 3 translation units (Animals, Feed, Wash) which are using
This leads us to conclude that each translation unit accesses it's own copy of
animals. That is why we have
animals= 8 for
animals= 2 for
animals= 10 for
Wash.cpp. A file. This behavior eats up memory and decreases performance.
Another property of internal linkage is that it is only implemented when the variable has global scope, and all constants are by default internally linked.
Usage : As we know, an internally linked variable is passed by copy. Thus, if a header file has a function
fun1()and the source code in which it is included in also has
fun1()but with a different definition, then the 2 functions will not clash with each other. Thus, we commonly use internal linkage to hide translation-unit-local helper functions from the global scope. For example, we might include a header file that contains a method to read input from the user, in a file that may describe another method to read input from the user. Both of these functions are independent of each other when linked.
External Linkage: An identifier implementing external linkage is visible to every translation unit. Externally linked identifiers are shared between translation units and are considered to be located at the outermost level of the program. In practice, this means that you must define an identifier in a place which is visible to all, such that it has only one visible definition. It is the default linkage for globally scoped variables and functions. Thus, all instances of a particular identifier with external linkage refer to the same identifier in the program. The keyword
externimplements external linkage.
When we use the keyword
extern, we tell the linker to look for the definition elsewhere. Thus, the declaration of an externally linked identifier does not take up any space.
Externidentifiers are generally stored in initialized/uninitialized or text segment of RAM.
Please do go through Understanding extern keyword in C before proceeding to the following examples.
It is possible to use an
externvariable in a local scope. This shall further outline the differences between linkage and scope. Consider the following code:
// C code to illustrate External Linkage
#include <stdio.h>
// line 1
c = b;
// error
Error: 'b' was not declared in this scope
Explanation : The variable
bhas local scope in the function
foo, even though it is an
externvariable. Note that compilation takes place before linking; i.e scope is a concept that can be used only during compile phase. After the program is compiled there is no such concept as "scope of variable".
During compilation, scope of
bis considered. It has local scope in
foo(). When the compiler sees the
externdeclaration, it trusts that there is a definition of
bsomewhere and lets the linker handle the rest.
However, the same compiler will go through the
bar()function and try to find variable
b. Since
bhas been declared
extern, it has not been given memory yet by the compiler; it does not exist yet. The compiler will let the linker find the definition of
bin the translation unit, and then the linker will assign
bthe value specified in definition. It is only then that
bwill exist and be assigned memory. However, since there is no declaration given at compile time within the scope of
bar(), or even in global scope, the compiler complains with the error above.
Given that it is the compiler's job to make sure that all variables are used within their scopes, it complains when it sees
bar(), when
bhas been declared in
foo()'s scope. The compiler will stop compiling and the program will not be passed to the linker.
We can fix the program by declaring
bas a global variable, by moving line 1 to before
foo's definition.
Let us look at another example
// C code to illustrate External Linkage
#include <stdio.h>
x = 10;
z = 5;
// line 2
"%d %d %d"
, x, y, z);
y = 2;chevron_rightfilter_none
Output: 10 2 5
We can explain the output by observing behaviour of external linkage. We define 2 variables
zin global scope. By default, both of them have external linkage. Now, when we declare
extern, we tell the compiler that there exists a
ywith some definition within the same translation unit. Note that this is during the compile time phase, where the compiler trusts the
externkeyword and compiles the rest of the program. The next line,
extern int zhas no effect on
z, as
zis externally linked by default when we declared it as a global variable outside the program. When we encounter
printfline, the compiler sees 3 variables, all 3 having been declared before, and all 3 being used within their scopes (in the
printffunction). The program thus compiles successfully, even though the compiler does not know the definition of
The next phase is linking. The linker goes through the compiled code and finds
zfirst. As they are global variables, they are externally linked by default. The linker then updates value of
zthroughout the entire translation unit as 10 and 5. If there are any references to
zin any other file in the translation unit, they are set to 10 and 5.
Now, the linker comes to
extern int yand tries to find any definition of
ywithin the translation unit. It looks through every file in the translation unit to find definition of
y. If it does not find any definition, a linker error will be thrown. In our program, we have given the definition outside
main(), which has already been compiled for us. Thus, the linker finds that definition and updates

【Sustainable Development】Transition: Considering Change from and Ecological Engineering Perspective
Dharma Drum College invited Prof. Edwin Herricks of the Deaprtment of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to give a lecture entitled "Transition: Considering Change from and Ecological Engineering Perspective" on August 22, 2011.
Prof. Herricks is an internationally renowned ecological engineering scholar. His expertises are ecology, stream and wetland habitat restoration, systems analysis of man-nature interaction, and engineering designs that can minimize impact to the environment and ecology.
Prof. Herricks first illustrated the trend and necessity of ecological engineering by presenting a number of existing cases of environmental change. Then he focused on how to evaluate various engineering measures that take the whole ecosystem into consideration.
Prof. Herricks used a dose-response curve from toxicology to demonstrate how ecological health is measured. However, he pointed out that the accuracy of data and information to construct such curves is possibly the greatest issue. Because of the data is not independent of human dimensions and will always be subject to human flaws in analysis and interpretation. Nevertheless, the theory of "dose - response relationship" is one of the reasons why ecological engineering is necessary to replace the traditional engineering thinkings.
Prof. Herricks further defined maintaining ecological health as "services to ensure sustainability of all species in the ecosystems" We all know this service is "limited". When human beings consume natural resources without self-control and exceed the capacity of natural recovery, we will face unexpected consequences from environmental disasters. Prof. Herricks showed pictures from damages caused by Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan and the recent earthquake/ tsunami/ nuclear disaster in Japan as the examples. This kind of rare-occurring but catastrophic environmental disasters will be the most difficult problem facing current scientists and engineers.
Prof. Herricks ended his talk to say that ecosystems require different types of transition. Considering ecosystem constraints, we can transition from traditional engineering to more ecology-friendly engineering practices by understanding the causes and effects. Ecosystem is complex. We must continue to assess how our actions fit in the long history of our environment. He looks forward to the thinking and actions of mutual respect between man and nature, and expects them to bring satisfactory results to environmental sustainability.

When the bid for hosting the Expo 2020 Dubai succeeded, there were widespread celebrations in the city. Schools were given a holiday, a national holiday was declared, and the Burj Khalifa became a spectacle as there were fireworks on display. It was like a grand celebration all over the city. The ruler of the city promised that they will 'astonish the world'. And now, all the world's eyes are on Dubai to fulfill their promise, and knowing how Dubai likes to do things in a grand fashion, this just might be the greatest World Expo so far.
1.So, what really is the World Exposition?
This is the place where all nations of the world gather to showcase their achievements. This results in a world-class gathering in harmony, exchanging their achievements that can be used and adapted to develop industry, technology, agriculture, etc. The World Expo has a rich history. It was born from the French tradition of holding national exhibitions. The first world's exposition/fair was the one held in Hyde Park, London, in the year 1951. It was popularly known as 'The Great Exhibition' and had a huge impact on the economy of the nation. This sparked off many such exhibitions where trade was the main feature. This was the time of the industrial revolution. and such exhibitions benefitted all the participating nations. Back then, it was more commonly known as World Fair.
But from the year 1939 to 1987, the main feature was changed to cultural exchange. The main goal was to push innovation through cultural exchange. Previously, the exhibitions were named as 'Fair' but now the makers started using the word 'Exposition'. The cultural exchange was also a good move as most nations decided to work towards a better future. There was a lot of development in science and technology during this era. This development also became the platform for future technologies. One can also contribute to this by playing a part in the worldwide globalization movement.
Then from 1988 to the current year, the main focus of World Expo was to build a national image. This is also an important aspect, as a strong image will result in investments by the international community. Therefore, all the World Expositions have now become a place to display national pride. Countries even began to invest millions in their pavilions. This trend is continuing, and the World Expo has now become an international spectacle of the highest quality and stature. Hosts countries also make a lot of revenue, but the biggest advantage is the fame they get for a hosting this extravaganza. So, this Expo 2020 is expected to be of great advantage to Dubai.
Expo 2020 Dubai will be hosted in an area that covers a massive 1083 acres (438 Hectares). This area lies equidistant from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, which means it is also easily accessible for people living in Abu Dhabi. Hotels in Dubai are expected to be full, so, people who are staying in hotels in Abu Dhabi can also easily reach the venue of the expo. Inside will be three large pavilions, each built according to a theme, and one of the main themes of the design is Al Wasl, which means 'the connection'. Through the theme 'Connecting minds, creating the future', there will be a sharp focus on pushing innovation, creativity, and collaboration in the Middle East, African and South Asian countries, along with the rest of the world. There will be more than 180 countries of the world participating, and the whole expo promises to be a spectacle like no other.
Dubai is a city of grandeur. It is one of the most developed and luxurious cities in the world and is considered by many to be the best city in the world. Therefore, there are huge expectations now that they have won the bid to host Expo 2020. We all know the grand manner in which they organize the Dubai Shopping Festival each year. We also know that they are famous for architectural marvels like the world's tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa, or the world's only 7-star hotel, Burj Al Arab. Dubai is also home to the largest gathering of man-made islands, the Palm Islands. Therefore, the onus is on this city to deliver the biggest and best World Expo so far.
Dubai was awarded this honor by the Bureau International des Expositions in the year 2013. They have had ample time to begin preparations. Dubai started work on the world's largest Solar Power Plant, which will be ready before Expo 2020 Dubai. This will be one of the main features. Dubai also has started a Happiness Agenda that promises to make Dubai the happiest city by 2020. This agenda has 16 programs that are further divided into 82 projects. This is guaranteed to improve the happiness index of Dubai. The rulers of the city and the government also are doing their best to make Expo 2020 Dubai the best expo yet.

If you are interested in a trade or are a budding businessman, or just a tourist who wants to experience the sheer grandeur of Expo 2020 Dubai, start planning your trip here. Though 2020 may seem far away, the time will fly by. By then, Dubai will also be ready with many more world-class attractions and shopping opportunities to keep you happy. Here's looking forward to an amazing Expo 2020 Dubai.

The Go-Giver Influencer is a story about two young, ambitious businesspeople- Gillian Waters, the chief buyer for Smith & Banks, a midsized company that operates a national chain of pet accessory stores; and Jackson Hill, the founder of Angels Clothed in Fur, a small but growing manufacturer of all-natural pet foods.
Each has something the other wants. To Jackson, Smith & Banks represents the possibility of reaching more animals with his products--if he can negotiate terms and conditions that will protect his company's integrity. To Gillian, Angels Clothed in Fur could give her company a distinctive, uniquely high-quality line that will help them stand out from their competitors--if Angels Clothed in Fur can be persuaded to give them an exclusive.
At first, the negotiations are adversarial and frustrating. Then, coincidentally, Gillian and Jackson each encounter a mysterious yet kindly mentor. Over the next week, while neither one realizes the other is doing the same, both Gillian and Jackson learn the heart of their mentor's philosophy- The Five Secrets of Ultimate Influence.
The story ends in a way that surprises everyone -- and with lessons we can all apply to our efforts to influence and persuade others.
Bob Burg and John David Mann are the coauthors of The Go-Giver, Go-Givers Sell More, and The Go-Giver Leader. A former top sales professional, Burg is a sought-after conference speaker and the author of Endless Referrals. Mann is the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Flash Foresight, The Red Circle, and Among Heroes.
"This may be the most important Go-Giver book yet--and in today's polarized world, it could not be more timely." --Marshall Goldsmith, author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There "The Go-Giver Influencer is a brilliant and insightful book that teaches us how to see things from the other person's point of view and add value to their life while honoring our own. Remarkable!" --Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and Raving Fans
"As with The Go-Giver, I was sucked in and touched from the first page. This book is such a wonderful guide for those who truly care about adding value to the world! I had tears in my eyes at the end--and came away equipped with five powerful keys to being a more effective influencer." --Tiffany Hendra, star of The Real Housewives of Dallas
"Having the ability to influence others is a privilege that far exceeds any negotiation strategy or tactic. This wonderful book gives you the roadmap and the tools to make this happen!" --Stephen M. R. Covey, author of The Speed of Trust and coauthor of Smart Trust
"In a world that has become increasingly fractured and adversarial, Burg and Mann have given us a delightful story that also serves as a guidebook for creating common ground, reconciliation, and genuine influence." --Jon Gordon, author of The Energy Bus and The Carpenter
"The Go-Giver Influencer is a game-changer. Its principles apply whether you're a business executive, sales professional, entrepreneur, volunteer, parent, or student. The entire Go-Giver series should have a place on everyone's desk and be reread periodically to remind ourselves that there is a better way to connect in both our business and personal lives." --Nikki Woods, CEO of Nikki Woods Media
"More than ever, we need to bring people together in a world that's emotionally falling apart at the seams. That's why The Go-Giver Influencer is a must-read for you and your team. In this page-turner, Bob Burg and John David Mann share a story that will shift your perspective on what it takes today to be a highly influential leader." -- Tim Sanders, author of Love Is the Killer App
"A timely reminder that influence depends less on what we get from others and more on what we give to others." --Adam Grant, author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B with Sheryl Sandberg
"The Go-Giver Influencer is a simple story about two people struggling through a business negotiation, yet it is also a great deal more than that. It may just be the book that teaches us how to listen and talk to each other again." --David Bach, author of The Automatic Millionaire and Smart Women Finish Rich
"Filled with profoundly simple insights you can put into immediate action, The Go-Giver Influencer is a magical look at how you can transcend the win/lose mindset to find a powerful third way. Thank you, Burg and Mann, for yet another Go-Giver book that helps us see the ordinary in extraordinary new ways. I will be sharing this book with everyone in my company!" --Traci Fenton, founder and CEO of WorldBlu

"A must-read! The Go-Giver Influencer is a winner's strategy." --Molly W. Fletcher, legendary sports agent, author of A Winner's Guide to Negotiating, and CEO of The Molly Fletcher Company
"Bob Burg and John David Mann have hit it out of the park again. The Go-Giver Influencer enriches and extends the seminal ideas of their previous works to creating harmony in an increasingly polarized world and win-win outcomes in your personal and professional lives. This book will sit beside Dale Carnegie's timeless How to Win Friends and Influence People on the short shelf of classic must-read success titles." --Adam Robinson, cofounder of The Princeton Review and author of An Invitation to the Great Game
"Don't be fooled by this story's simplicity: Bob and John have given us a sophisticated blueprint for masterful negotiation. Not the tired old strong-arm tactics you've read before, but genuine negotiation, the kind that helps you reach your goals and makes the world a better place in the process." --Brandon Webb, former Navy SEAL, CEO of Hurricane Media Group and coauthor of The Red Circle and Total Focus
"Forget about influence as a process of simply getting your name, products, and services in front of as many people as you can. As the authors powerfully demonstrate, genuine influence is the fine art of building trust, creating win-win scenarios, and providing first-class value. I LOVE this book!" --Libby Gill, author of You Unstuck, executive coach, former SVP at Universal Studios Television, former VP at Sony Pictures Television and Turner Broadcasting
"The wisdom in The Go Giver Influencer sneaks up on you and, in the end, changes you. I loved the book and am the better for having read it." --Dan Rockwell, publisher of the Leadership Freak blog
"A wonderful story that shows why being kind, considerate, and respectful is not only the right way to be, but also the most influential, persuasive, and successful way to be, as well.

This entertaining parable reveals step-by-step how you can add value to every conversation you have, while achieving the greatest results for everyone involved." --Sharon Lechter, author of Think and Grow Rich for Women and coauthor of Outwitting the Devil and Rich Dad Poor Dad
"This is more than just another book about influence, it's the owners manual. If influence is like the Force in Star Wars, then Bob Burg and John David Mann are twin Yodas. You know how people say, 'If you read only one book this year..."? I'm saying, if you read only one book this decade, let it be this one." --Duane Cummings, CEO of Leadercast
"The next installment in the Go-Giver series, and the best yet. Burg and Mann deliver a brilliant book on how to expand your influence." --Randy Gage, author of Risky Is the New Safe and Mad Genius
"A beautiful and compelling story about the power of making a difference versus making a point. Bob Burg and John David Mann show how we can find the collaborative space in any discussion or debate, even when we can't see one. In a world where the spoken word is too often used to vilify and defeat, this book brings us back to how we can take two differing perspectives and weave them into a tremendous thread that actually binds us closer together." --Tracey C. Jones, president of Tremendous Leadership
"If you do any type of selling, negotiating, delivering or receiving feedback--which is all of us--this book will immediately make your life better and your relationships more fruitful. An absolute gem of a read!" --Rory Vaden, cofounder of Southwestern Consulting and author of Take the Stairs
"Bob Burg and John David Mann know what many people don't: that the most effective negotiation isn't about intimidation, it's about listening." --Sheryl O'Loughlin, CEO of REBBL, former CEO of Clif Bar and cofounder of Plum, Inc.
"A wise and effective book. I will apply the lessons to my life." --Kamal Ravikant, author of Rebirth and Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It

Its wisdom will stay with you long after you finish." --Skip Prichard, president and CEO of OCLC, Inc., blogger at skipprichard.com, and author of The Book of Mistakes
"This small book contains big, life-changing, career-changing ideas. You'll approach colleagues, friends, and even adversaries with a whole new lens. If you want to influence others with ease and grace, read it tonight, implement it tomorrow morning." --Lisa Earle McLeod, author of Selling with Noble Purpose
"Compelling reading for anyone who seeks to influence without manipulation and negotiate with integrity. The Go-Giver Influencer is as much a philosophy for living as it is for conducting business with honor and ethics. It will make you rethink everything you've learned about negotiation and influence, and help you to be better at both." --Gary Pittard, author of Why Winners Win and CEO of Pittard Real Estate Training
"Who do you want to be in the world? The Go-Giver Influencer shows us the path forward to become wiser, smarter, and more humane leaders, at a time when that's needed more than ever." --Dorie Clark, author of Entrepreneurial You and adjunct professor at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business
"A brilliant book that will help you influence and impact with the best." --Robin Sharma, author of The Leader Who Had No Title and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari
"If we are paying attention, mentors will show up (with perfect timing). Sometimes they appear as people, helping us simplify what feels complicated ... 'untying the knots.' Sometimes these mentors are wrapped in a powerful story; they 'mentor the multitudes.' Bob Burg and John David Mann, you've done it again! Reading this book is like unwrapping a lovely gift." --Dondi Scumaci, author of Designed for Success and Career Moves
"Leaders looking to improve their negotiation and communication skills will find very helpful insights in The Go-Giver Influencer." --Douglas Conant, founder & CEO of ConantLeadership, chairman of Kellogg Executive Leadership Institute at Northwestern University, former CEO of Campbell Soup Company, former Chairman of Avon Products
"Burg and Mann have done it again. In an age where climbers are clamoring to become influencers, this book sums up what that really means and how to (and how not to) achieve it. Here are just three gems on replay in my head and heart right now: (1) master your emotions, don't let your feelings fool or control you; (2) manipulation is never the way; (3) genuine influence will come when you are motivated not by gaining influence yourself but by others' needs and want. This book is perfectly on time!" --Carrie Wilkerson, author of The Barefoot Executive

NTUC's Seed Institute, which trains early childhood educators, on Thursday became the first Continuing Education and Training (CET) centre in the early childhood sector to attain the National CET Institute (NCI) status.
The NCI status is conferred by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency to CET centres which demonstrate the highest quality training for workers. NTUC's Seed Institute is the fourth of 46 CET centres to attain the NCI status since 2009. The other three are in the food and beverage, retail, and tourism industries.
"This achievement... will spur us to do even more, to bring the early childhood sector to even greater heights," said Seed Institute academic director Ho Yin Fong at an event on Thursday.
It was also announced on Thursday that Seed Institute will roll out a new Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) training course in early May. This new course is aimed at educators who work with children aged two months to three years.

When you practice martial arts, you do a lot of things that are absolutely alright for training or in a fighting competition. The problem is, when you do something on the training, you get used to it. And when you are in a fight for self defense, you do that exact thing, not realizing that could put you in a vulnerable position.
You always stand in a fighting stance to fight. You and your opponent stand face to face, bow, and when your teacher says, fight, the fight begins. Now when you feel you are going to be attacked outside on the street, what are you going to do? Take your position, stand in a fighting stance, knee bend, keep your hands up with a fist.
If you stand in a fighting stance, you are giving the obvious signal that you want to fight to solve that, talking part is over, let's fight and finish it once and for all. Seeing this, if that guy calls his friends and other people, the situation can change in a minute. Now the fighting stance that is very useful can put you in a vulnerable position.
In a street fight, don't give any signal to your attackers that you are ready to fight and take them down. Instead, try to talk to him, calm him down and at the same time, be prepared to defend and counter-attack.
Your moves should be based on the situation you are in. Every situation is different. What I'm saying here, it can work in a particular situation, but it might not work in another situation. You have to decide based on your observation.
If you see the guy keeps attacking people in front of you, and you are going to be next. Then don't wait for him to attack you. When he is about to attack you, attack him first. This is something that he might not expect. You can make your move to defend yourself. You can call the police and ask for you.
Put reasonable force to counter-attack. If a guy is showing off and says he is going to punch you, maybe he does not mean to hurt you pretty bad, don't just strike him and hurt him pretty bad. Instead, you can lock him or put him in a position where he cannot attack you anymore.
In a street fight, never underestimate the attacker. You just don't know what he is capable of doing. If you see a big guy, that means he is a tough fighter, and if that guy is not big in size, he is not a good fight, it does not work like that in a street fight. So be ready and don't underestimate your opponent.
Hope you will find this useful for self defense. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post. If you like martial arts and want to learn more about it, you can check out some of my recent posts.

OOFh that sucks. I dont like seeing stuff like that. Best thing to do is just go out and get another frame. Dont think about it you will only stress out.
GEEZ I have never broken more than a hanger on my rides. Last night was the maiden vorage on the MT. Was cruising down a flat section and a tree branch reached out of the woods and cloth lined me. Put new pedals on my bike and had the wrong adjustment and had a hard time clipping out. 5 or 6 tipovers on that.
Prior to this the worst I'd broken was a spoke (or two, or three, or..)
At least you'll get your chance to build up a bike almost from scratch.

Are registration and accreditation the same thing?
Registration doesn't replace accreditation. All practising BACP members must be registered, or working towards registration. See Registered membership.
Do I have to be a BACP member to apply for accreditation?
Yes - only registered members of BACP are eligible to apply for accreditation.
Can I apply for accreditation before I register?
No - you'll need to become a registered member before you can apply for accreditation. You must also be in practice, seeing at least one client a month, and be receiving contracted supervision.
Do I need to complete an accredited course to apply for accreditation?
No, you don't need to complete an accredited course to apply for individual accreditation. See Accredited membership.
What's the difference between accreditation and a BACP accredited course?
Accredited membership is the next step for registered members who have been in practice for at least three years. Gaining accreditation demonstrates to clients and employers that you have achieved high standards of knowledge, experience and development.
An accredited course is a training course for prospective counsellors and psychotherapists that has been assessed by BACP to ensure that it guarantees a standard of training accepted for BACP membership and registration. See Course accreditation.
The accreditation process
How long does it take to process my application?
When you send us your application, we'll email you to confirm that we've received it. We then send all the paperwork to an external assessor for marking. This process takes around five months as our assessors also have their own professional work to do.
I've been deferred. Is there any help available?
You'll find information on the Apply for accreditation page to help those who've been unsuccessful with their first application. The resubmission guide will hopefully answer all your queries.
Do you have any tips to help me with my accreditation application?
You'll find our top tips on making a successful application on the Apply for accreditation page.
Are there any workshops I can attend in my area?
Unfortunately, we don't run any workshops you can attend in person, but you can watch our online workshop which we hope you'll find useful.
Accredited members
When will I get my accreditation certificate and authentication letter?
When you first become accredited, we'll notify you by post as soon as it's confirmed that your application has been successful.
You can log in and download your accreditation certificate from your account on this website. Your certificate will be updated every year when you renew to confirm your continued accreditation. This certificate replaces the letter of authentication you may have received previously.
I used to receive my accreditation renewal by post. How do I renew now?
You'll no longer receive the accreditation paperwork in the post to complete and return. We now process all renewals online. So you'll need to log into your account and click on the renew now button. This will be shown from 60 days before your renewal date to 31 days after.
Even if you pay by direct debit, you'll need to follow this process as you must sign the terms and conditions. The Accreditation statement is now included in the Register terms and conditions.
Are accreditation and membership renewed at the same time?
Yes. When you renew online, you will complete all the declarations and terms and conditions at the same time.

Madhyaloka (मध्यलोक).—The middle world (madhya-loka), a rather circular body, consists of numerous concentric dvīpas or island continents with intervening oceans separating any two of them. In its center is the Mount Meru, golden and surrounded by the Jambūdvīpa, the latter being encircled by the lavaṇoda ocean. Then comes the dhātaki-khaṇḍa-dvīpa and the vāruṇīvara-samudra, the kṣīravara and the kṣīroda, the ghṛtavara and the ghṛtoda, the ikṣuvara and the ikṣuvaroda, the nandīśvara and the nandīśvaroda. Human beings are found only in the first two dvīpas and the first half of the third one. At the end of countless continents and oceans is the great ocean known as the Svayambhuramaṇa.Source: Shodhganga: A cultural study on the jain western Indian illustrated manuscripts
Madhyaloka (मध्यलोक).—Madhya-loka or the "middle world" is horizontal and always shown is full face-like a disk or plate or an immense cymbal or denoted by the central parts of the man's abdomen where human beings live.
The middle world (madhya-loka) is the only one of the three worlds where it is possible for men to be born, Even there, rebirth and death are restricted to a relatively small area.Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 3: The Lower and middle worlds

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 'self-reliance') and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

Review: The Audit, Norwich Arts Centre
PUBLISHED: 07:47 22 March 2018 | UPDATED: 07:47 22 March 2018
Adam York Gregory
Eve Stebbing is intrigued, but not moved, by a play exploring the 2008 financial crash.
Ever since the crash of 2008, there has been a sense of worry. Just what is happening to our money? When we invest it in banks, there are now supposed to be mechanisms in place which mean they cannot gamble it, or use it as a way to buy bad debts.
But have things really changed, or are we still propping up the same flawed system that is bound to fail at some moment or another and drag us all under?
These questions, and others of a similar ilk, are raised by The Audit. A stock-taking exercise, which reminds us of the realities of where our money goes, and what happens when what we invest in goes wrong.
It's a highly informative show which expounds the vagaries of globalisation and its associated corruption. It also advocates a kind of quiet revolution engaged in by every community, however small. If enough people make a stand, finally things will change.
The problem is, that despite riveting performances from Rachel Baynton and Gillian Lees, and an exquisitely-written script by Andrew Westerside, this work does not constitute a sufficient cri du coeur to set a revolution in motion. Not even in the confines of the Arts Centre.
And the reason for this is Eva. Eva, who lives in Iceland, is the central character of the piece. We join her in 2008 just at the point of the crash. We are informed that a wave is coming that is bound to engulf her, and after hearing the details of her country's appalling financial situation, we wait for the crest to fall.
But the trouble is, it doesn't. Things don't seem to change for her very much, even after her family has faced ruin and revolution.
Robbing the play of its drama perhaps makes it true to life, but draws its power.
Still this is a great summary of a time that should not be forgotten, a salutary lesson for our uncertain future.

Home > Travel in Greece > Chios
Chios (Xios) island is a relatively large island in the East Aegean sea, situated very close to the western shore of Turkey. It is famous for the production of "masticha (mastixa)", and historically known for a great massacre of islanders during the war of independence. A not trustworthy tradition says that the poet Homer was born in this island. The photo above is particular building decoration of Pirgí.
During the summer time, there are two ferries a day from Pireas, both operated by the NEL Line. One is called Mytilene and, departing from Pireas at 19:00, arrives at Chios Town at 03:30 (22.50euro), from Chios, departing at 22:00 arrives at Pireas at 06:00 (23.50euro), there is, however, small difference of departure time according to day of the week. The other ferry is called Kenderis, and takes as little as half that time, but the ticket price is double. Both Mytilene and Kenderis continue to Mytilene after Chios. There is also ferry connection from Thessaloniki, and flight connections. (This information is of the summer of 2005).
From 1346 to 1566 Chios was ruled by the Giustiniani family, originally from Genoa. There are still traces of Italian influence in various part of the island. Historically the Chians have been famous for being good sailors. It is said that Christopher Columbus, Genoese citizen, visited the Chios before departure for the New World to learn about the navigation technique, that he was really a Chian, or that some of his sailors were from Chios.
There are public bus services to most of the major tourist attractions (except the Nea Moni). For the convenience it is also possible to buy organized tours. For information, these are the programmes organised by Kanaris Tours (1 Omirou Street, tel. 22710-42490; 12 Aegeou Avenue, tel. 22710-21463). The programmes and the prices of the summer 2005. Most of the tours include a couple of hours to stay on beach. The tours are accompanied by English speaking guide depending on the number of participants, so ask ahead.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley intends on Tuesday to introduce a resolution calling for an impeachment inquiry into Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a move that is meeting resistance from her own party.
"Sexual predators do not deserve a seat on the nation's highest court."
—Rep. Ayanna Pressley
In a statement to Boston's WBUR Monday, Pressley, a Democrat from the Massachusetts city's 1st District, emphasized her concerns for the victims of the justice's alleged high school and college sexual assaults.
"I believe Christine Blasey Ford," said Pressley. "I believe Deborah Ramirez. It is our responsibility to collectively affirm the dignity and humanity of survivors."
The 3-paragraph resolution was posted online Monday night by Boston.com reporter Nik DeCosta-Klipa.
.@AyannaPressley plans to introduce a resolution tomorrow calling for the House Judiciary Committee to launch an "impeachment inquiry" of Brett Kavanaugh following the NYT's reporting over the weekend pic.twitter.com/VqKycrIFMu— Nik DeCosta-Klipa (@NikDeCostaKlipa) September 16, 2019
The resolution comes just days after an explosive report from The New York Times revealed that accusations from Ramirez that Kavanaugh harassed her during their time at Yale, sticking his penis at her, were backed up by other witnesses but that the F.B.I. did not investigate the matter. On Monday, the Times further reported that Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) had also reached out to the F.B.I. on Ramirez's alllegations, only to be similarly rebuffed.
"The revelations today confirm what we already knew," Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, tweeted Sunday. "During his hearing, Kavanaugh faced credible accusations and likely lied to Congress. I support any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold him accountable."
The reporting indicates that Kavanaugh perjured himself during his hearing testimony before the narrow 50-48 confirmation vote that gave him one of the court's nine seats.
"Sexual predators do not deserve a seat on the nation's highest court and Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation process set a dangerous precedent," Pressley told WBUR. "We must demand justice for survivors and hold Kavanaugh accountable for his actions."

An impeachment inquiry into Kavanaugh, however, presents difficulty for advocates of such an approach in the reluctance from Democratic leaders to take action against the court.
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said in a Monday Politico article on the split in the party over impeaching Kavanaugh that Pressley and others advocating for holding the judge accountable for perjuring himself during his confirmation need to "get real."
"We've got to get beyond this 'impeachment is the answer to every problem,'" said Durbin. It's not realistic."
Durbin was joined in his resistance to taking any action over Kavanaugh's likely perjury by fellow Democratic Sens. Patrick Leahey (Vt.) and Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) as well as House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).
"During his hearing, Kavanaugh faced credible accusations and likely lied to Congress. I support any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold him accountable."
—Sen. Bernie Sanders
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) told Politico she supports Pressley's efforts to hold the justice accountable.
"I'm pretty sure Jerry Nadler cares if somebody, particularly somebody is getting a lifetime appointment, whether that person lied to Congress," said Hirono. "I hope he'll change his mind."
That point was echoed by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), who is running for her party's nomination for president. But, Harris said, given the lack of action from the Senate on President Donald Trump's misbehavior, she's not holding her breath.
"If you gauge what the United States Senate has done to the current leadership, it has been coddling and frankly not holding it to account, this administration, on a number of levels," Harris told NPR. "But it doesn't mean that those of us who have a responsibility to act shouldn't act."

Chicago's Rise in Violence Hurting City's Small Businesses
In 2016, Chicago had its deadliest year in decades. With 762 murders, families were upended and communities devastated.
Besides a tragic human toll, a far less traumatizing, but still damaging, byproduct of the violence is the erosion of businesses in neighborhoods wracked by violence.
Continue Reading Below
Stretches of boarded up shops line thoroughfares and once booming retail epicenters are shells of their glory days. Poverty, depopulation and political neglect have played a role in suppressed development.
But another part of the equation, especially in recent years, is violence.
"To what degree violence has played a part in areas struggling to attract growth is hard to say," said Alden Loury, director of research with the Metropolitan Planning Council, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that promotes growth. "But it is not a stretch to say that violence played a factor."
The violence ravaging Chicago's west and south sides – the more affluent sections of the northside and along Lake Michigan have been largely untouched – is also hurting neighborhood business sectors.
It continues to disrupt areas like Washington Park, where local soul food staple Ms. Lee's Good Food is surrounded by shuttered storefronts. Lee Hogan, the owner and namesake of the restaurant, said she looks out the window at newly renovated building with a row of storefronts that never reopened. The convenience store next to her closed about six months ago.
"There are very few businesses around here now," Hogan said. "There are properties vacant all over the place."
Her customers are mostly from outside the neighborhood. They drive in and take their orders home. While Hogan says the young people have respected her space, there were four shootings within a five block radius of her store in the last five months. So when the "L" train was undergoing renovations and customers couldn't park in front of her store, she felt a financial hit.
"In a neighborhood like this, people don't feel comfortable walking a block or so," she said.
The violence impacting local commerce in Chicago has forced small business owners to join forces to have a chance at survival.
Rickey Sanders, treasurer of Austin's African-American Business Networking association and owner of Rick's Devine Catering, is a pastor who has held prayer circles on the streets and prefers to talk to loiterers rather than call the cops. When those techniques fail, he turns to fellow entrepreneurs for help.
"We see people hanging out, we say something. We ask them to leave. If they don't, we all call the police," he said, adding that 40 businesses flooding the police switchboard get results. "Those types of things have to happen. We can't be afraid of them. What am I going to do? Leave my business?"
Communities have been mobilizing to curb violence and revitalize their neighborhoods, with mixed results. One example of some success lies in Englewood, routinely named as one of Chicago's most violent neighborhoods. Just last year, the neighborhood welcomed a Whole Foods, Chipotle and Starbucks into a retail plaza.
The lure is a huge win for an area that was once a booming shopping mecca but has suffered a painful and drawn out economic decline punctuated with a startling population loss. West 63rd street and South Halstead, where the new plaza is located, was one of the largest retail areas outside of the loop, Chicago's central business district.
Other neighborhoods like Washington Park have long tried to revitalize but haven't had the success that Englewood seems to be having. Englewood's economy has been helped by Kennedy-King College, which opened its doors in 2007.
Leon Walker, managing partner of DL3 Realty, the development company that was a part of a group that brought in new businesses to Englewood, said the school has helped attract businesses.
"We need a lot more," Walker said of investment to filter across the entire area of Englewood enough to touch other communities. That includes building good schools and giving people a reason to settle in the neighborhood. "This one [development] is not a panacea, it's a start, a movement to revitalize that community."
As much hope as the new businesses infuse into the community, challenges remain. About two months before Whole Foods' opening, there were four gunshot victims – two of whom died – within a few blocks of the store.
"There were certainly question marks [from Whole Foods] about the amount of violence that occurs in Englewood," said Perry Gunn, executive director of Teamwork Englewood, a local group devoted to revitalizing the community." They were willing to take a risk because of the overall needs."
Still, the arrival has created something of a ripple effect. The neighborhood of Pullman, for example, is now the site of a Whole Foods Distribution center. New businesses are looking to set up shop in Englewood, Gunn said. Whole Foods has already started partnering with the community, helping to create $40,000 in grants for small business owners looking to set up shop in the community.
"You bring something like Whole Foods and people start to feel like there's some hope," Gunn said. "Then you start to see a change in the attitude that there's a possibility to do something different."

Projects and Stories
SunShot Solar In Your Community Challenge
Increasing access to solar energy for all Oregonians.
The Challenge
In 2017, Sustainable Northwest and local partners were awarded seed funding and an opportunity to compete in the U.S. Department of Energy's SunShot: Solar In Your Community Challenge. The goal of the challenge is to rapidly increase access to solar energy, particularly for low and middle income communities.
Sustainable Northwest leads a growing coalition of rural Oregon municipal and nonprofit entities, collectively known as Making Energy Work for Rural Oregon. To compete in the challenge, we partnered with nonprofit and municipal partners in three counties: Lake County, Douglas County, and Hood River County.
We are very proud of our progress and the exceptional work of our dedicated partners.
Solar for all
Whether it's creating local jobs, harnessing home grown energy or advancing climate solutions, we believe the benefits of solar energy should be made available to everyone. That's why we're working to bring innovative solar solutions, such as community solar and cooperative models, to communities across Oregon. Our team set out to pilot, refine, and replicate community-financed solar energy on local public facilities such as schools, churches, and libraries.
Completed projects
As a result of the SunShot Challenge, the team completed a total of 120kW of solar on four separate nonprofit facilities in three rural Oregon counties. The solar installations resulted in utility bill reductions between 10-50% for an average of 20% bill savings. The average installed cost of the systems came to $2.90/W across an average installation size of 30kW.
Hood River Public Works (30kW): This facility serves the entire city of Hood River, population 7,702, whose transportation services promote public health and safety. Installed in August 2017, this SunShot project was the first renewable energy cooperative-funded project in the state of Oregon. Funding for the project came from an Energy Trust of Oregon incentive and an Oregon Clean Power Cooperative loan.
"This is about more than just clean energy, it's about investing in your community. People are interested in alternatives to Wall Street, looking for ways to put their money to work closer to home." Dan Orzech, SunShot partner and General Manager of the Oregon Clean Power
The Oregon Clean Power Cooperative was enabled through SB 1520. It passed in 2014, and allows Oregonians to form cooperatives to finance renewable energy projects without having to file securities registration with the SEC. The bill extended the state's cooperative exemption to renewable energy cooperatives, an extension of a law that already existed for agriculture, fisheries, and mobile home parks.
"By investing in community solar, the city can help create new jobs, increase tax revenue, while lowering the city's energy costs and carbon output," said Mark Lago, City Public Works Director.
Hood River County Health Department (24.5kW): This facility serves all of Hood River County, population 23,377, whose services support full-time residents, visitors and seasonal residents, providing a variety of health services to low-income families with an emphasis on reaching multi-lingual families where English is the second language. Funding for this project came from a Pacific Power Blue Sky grant.
Our team will work with the County in 2019 to ensure they are successful in financing storage and highlight the importance solar + storage can play in resilience planning. Hood River County declared three natural emergencies in 2017: a damaging ice storm; an oil train explosion; and a human-caused megafire in the Columbia Gorge, all effectively shutting down Interstate 84 – the primary transit corridor serving the Columbia Gorge and Hood River. These events were not only dangerous and life-threatening for residents and neighboring communities, but costly as well.
Lake County Library (22kW): Libraries are a cornerstone for rural communities, serving as a gathering place for community events, a supplemental resource for young students, and a gateway to the rest of the world through high speed internet. The Lakeview Library is no different in this rural and isolated county in southern Oregon, receiving over 20,000 annual visitors with a county population of just 7,800. Funding for this project came from a Pacific Power Blue Sky grant and the Oregon Clean Power Cooperative.
"The team made the complicated process of designing the project and installing so easy on the library, returning valuable tax dollars to library services for many years to come." Amy Hutchinson, Lakeview Library Director
Saving Grace Animal Shelter (43kW): Saving Grace, a non-profit that provides a unique niche operating as the county's only full-service animal shelter, has performed over 7,300 surgeries and saved over 30,000 animals since their doors opened in 2002. Funding for this project came from a Pacific Power Blue Sky grant.
"Throughout the lifetime of the equipment, solar PV will allow Saving Grace to better absorb cost increases and continue to improve the quality of care for the animals who look to us for their very futures." Link to real-time production information.
Next Steps
In addition to the projects summarized above, our team has 15 additional projects in the pipeline in varying stages of project readiness, many with feasibility and site drawings completed or underway. This includes a food pantry, a rural volunteer fire station, a regional conservation organization, a veteran assistance facility, a middle school, a senior center, a church, and a community college.
In addition to installing net-metered solar on four public facilities, the team went to work identifying at least one community solar location in each county. The Oregon Community Solar Program was enabled through legislation passed in 2016, but has undergone an extensive two-year rulemaking process at the Public Utility Commission and has not yet launched. Given program delays, our team moved forward completing site assessments for several potential locations, and are poised to pursue project development at sites in each of our partner counties from 2019 to 2020.

Economics Trips to LSE
Students from years 9 and 10 have been learning about the ins and outs of life at Russell Group universities on trips to the London School of Economics this week.
A group of 23 Year 10 students travelled to Holborn with Ms Ingr on Tuesday afternoon for a seminar at the world-famous institution, exploring aspects of higher education that they might not have considered.
The group looked at a selection of courses on offer at UK universities and took some time to think about which subjects they might be best suited for. They also had the opportunity to interrogate current LSE students about their experiences of studying in central London.
More than just thinking about the academic side of life after school, the group considered other essential facets of independence, such as money management. They played a Monopoly-esque game developed by LSE entitled Freshers Fortunes, which helped them understand just how big a bite certain activities will take from a budget.
After a quick tour of the site the students headed back to BDA, armed with some essential knowledge for when it comes to making the big decisions that lie ahead. Year 9 enjoyed their trip to LSE on Friday afternoon.

Product Description
Angelique Rose Hip Oil is the finest moisturizer in history. Get ready to shed that dry look for a soft, younger look that speaks to all who meet you. Rosa Angelica works in stages. First stage is a moisturizing, the second stage is beautiful smooth soft complexion with color tone and freshness of youth. Your skin will feel like dew and will not feel like anything you have tries before. You skin feels as though it can breath and that is exactly what it is doing.
This is not normal oil in any sense of the word, 80% is made of very small molecules of essential fatty acids which bond well with water. The water is the moisture the Rosa Angelica is the bond for that water. Experiment with water; the ratio of water to our Rose Hip Seed oil can be very high. Always feel free to place water on the skin.
"I am the person that used Rosa Angelica on the right side of my face for forty days to see if I could really see a difference. It became obvious to me and everyone who looked at me. It did make a difference. I am fifty eight years old and have spent 24 hours a day for all of those years growing old. Now I am spending 15 minutes a day to help me stay young. Joyce Ware, Mentor, Ohio
"I have been using Rosa Angelica for approximately 3 months, my skin looks better and healthier than it ever has. I am 38 years old and people are starting to tell me that I look younger and my skin glows. Thanks again for such a great product. Deborah Cranston, Canton, Ohio.
"I had stretch marks on both legs from childbirth, now I have a really hard time trying to find where they are to put more on so they will be completely gone. I also had a burn on my wrist from my oven. Well guess what, it's almost gone too. I'm just amazed at the results I've seen. In the winter my cheeks are so dry they burn like a sunburn. So far this winter not one time have my cheeks burned from the cold weather. Even the little crows feet around my eyes have vanished. I don't think anything compares to Rosa Angelica. Mrs. Kandi Hasher, Diamond, Ohio

When the screen is brightened, it turns bright red. When the screen is blue, it turns purple. When the screen is yellow, it turns orange. How to set the screen greatly affects the color viewing, so the color difference problem does not retreat.
