Value price this. Part V.
There's more commentary--to your right and below--including Allison Shields', and her fine post "Even More Talk About Pricing". WAC?'s continuing take: billing by the hour for our firm--which depends on repeat business from publicly-traded clients we have represented in many cases for decades--is not a broken system for us. When it breaks, or if the markets change, we'll fix it. In the meantime, we know lots of ethical, forward-thinking, ultra-competent lawyers who provide value for GCs the "old way". And let us change the subject. If you want to improve things, work to: (1)eliminate contingent fee agreements (the greatest anti-client device ever), (2) replace the popular election of state judges (an embarrassing, medieval travesty) with a merit-based selection system, and (3) make the lawyers and all staff in your shop profoundly and religiously client-focused. Further, please oh please work (4) to take the emphasis off "lawyer comforts" like (a) "professionalism"; it encourages lawyer clubbiness and compromises clients by, for examples, taking emphasis off procedural rules when you really need them, and turning local litigation counsels into wimps who won't go to bat for clients. And (b) "work-life balance". Yeah, practicing law is hard.

About Billy, if you give him a computer, he probably won't care what Alison does. He'll be too busy making inappropriate posts and very little else.
Another Hazelnut project? Yes please! Looking forward to this one.
What a fun challenge! Looking forward to seeing all the kids, and who fathers them. Good luck!
All of the kids are so cute. The first photo of Alison flirting with Jon was too funny. His face was priceless
I'm not sure why, but the sprinklers coming on gave me the giggles.
Oh, the sim paparazzi...they are mysterious and quite annoying. How they get their scoops, I have no idea
Fantastic progress, how's Billy dealing with all the kids that clearly aren't his?
Love the name of the cat!
Yeah, and most naming themes don't have much for letters like X. Not even weird names most of the time.
I've had some luck getting sims back to the surface by inviting them over and asking them to play chess. They've come up and sat down at the table.
I can definitely see your point about running into issues with the name themes. I use regular names for my domination dynasty and I go in alphabetical order. Q? U? X? Umm, not much there that I like, thank you very much.
A dude alien and a dude genie? Lucky roll of the dice there!
I find it pretty easy to tell the aliens apart by sex due to how wildly different the male and female bodyshapes are, but all of my aliens tend to be elderly women so congrats on getting something different!

ROCKFORD — A new report recommends that the city establish stronger ties with neighborhood residents, bankers, nonprofits and the Winnebago County Treasurer's Office to more quickly clean up blighted and abandoned homes and properties.
Blighted and vacant homes and abandoned properties have long been a drag on Rockford neighborhoods, and Mayor Larry Morrissey's administration this year enlisted the help of the Center for Community Progress, a nonprofit based in Washington, D.C., that advises cities about how to turn vacant spaces into vibrant places.
The city applied for and won a competitive grant to tap the group's expertise, and representatives from the organization visited Rockford between March and September, researched local and state laws and interviewed dozens of stakeholders to understand how the city is attacking neighborhood blight and what it could do better.
The group set its sights on the worst of Rockford's 70,000 parcels: homes that have no occupant, according to the U.S. Postal Service; structures where city water service has been shut off for six months or more; properties with delinquent 2015 property taxes; and parcels with one or more open code violations.
The study found that 201 properties in Rockford met all of the criteria, and they're concentrated in the city's southwest, southeast and northwest quadrants.
"There's no silver bullet to the code enforcement problems we face as a community," said Todd Cagnoni, the city's director of community and economic development. "The report does validate the good work we've done related to problem properties and mechanisms we've put in place. There's a slew of strategies that the report recommends the city act upon and, hopefully, we can soon see some good results."
The report offers several suggestions for altering the tax sale process overseen by a trustee designated by Winnebago County. When a property is tax delinquent, a sale is held allowing people to buy unpaid property taxes as an investment or as a means of acquiring the property. A property owner has three years to pay off the delinquent taxes sold to a buyer, and the buyer can charge up to 18 percent interest. If the owner doesn't pay the delinquent taxes after three years, the tax buyer can take title to the property.
Tax sales held by the county every year routinely attract real estate investment companies that buy delinquent taxes in the hope that they'll turn a profit when the owner pays them the unpaid taxes, plus interest. The result? For some, the tax sale becomes a speculative, moneymaking game that has little do with rebuilding neighborhoods. If the property owner doesn't pay the delinquent taxes, the tax buyer may let his or her interest in the property lapse, which can put the parcel right back into the pool of delinquent tax properties subject to the next tax sale.
The Center for Community Progress report suggests that the city work with the county to give priority to buyers who intend to buy and use a delinquent property in a manner that's consistent with the needs of the neighborhood.
"We don't want to interfere with the private market," Cagnoni said. "So when the tax sale process is working and these properties are returning to the private market we don't want to interrupt that. What we're concerned about are the properties that are not returning to the private market and continue to deteriorate over a period of years. In those cases, the city and county need to interject ourselves."
Since its founding in 2010, the Center for Community Progress has provided technical assistance to more than 200 communities across 30 states.
"Rockford has the strong leadership necessary to bring real, positive change to the city's vacant, abandoned properties," said Tamar Shapiro, president and CEO of the Center for Community Progress. "It's our hope that the guidance provided through this technical assistance scholarship will help bring that change to fruition, improving quality of life for the city's residents."

Work Skills Needs and Job Performance of Graduates of Blocklaying and Concreting Works Trade of Technical Colleges for Employment in South-South Niger
Abstract—This study identified the work skills required by technical college graduates in blocklaying and concreting works trade as a means to mitigate the current graduate unemployment in South-South Nigeria using descriptive survey research design. Two research questions guided the study. The study sample consisted of 258 blocklaying and concreting work graduates. A 92 competency item questionnaire developed from literature reviewed was used for data collection. Three experts face validated the instrument. Cronbach Alpha was used to test the reliability of the instrument which yielded a reliability coefficient of .83. Data collected were analyzed using weighted mean and improvement need index. The findings revealed that blocklaying and concreting works graduates needed training in 75 out of the 85 competency items identified in this study; and that the technical college graduates could not perform the competency items to the level needed in blocklaying and concreting works. It was recommended that government should provide adequate training facilities at the technical colleges in order to address work skills the graduates were deficient in; the identified skills where graduates of technical colleges performed poorly should be packaged and used for remedial training programme to remedy the competencies in which blocklaying and concreting works graduates need improvement since they exhibited low level of job performance.Index Terms—work skills, job performance, graduates, blocklaying and concreting, employment

The Two Big Reason That Digital Transformations Fail
by: Mike Sutcliff, Raghav Narsalay, & Aarohi Sen.
from: Harvard Business Review, September-October 2019
Why do digital-transformation efforts fail at so many companies? A timely assessment from the Harvard Business Review tackles this thorny problem.
Plenty of cash is flowing into digital initiatives at large, industrial companies. The executives Accenture surveyed recently at 1,350 of these businesses globally reported investments in digital reinvention totaling more than $100 billion between 2016 and 2018.
The problem is that the expected results often fail to materialize. Most of the leaders Accenture surveyed in companies representing 17 countries and 13 industries reported poor returns on their digital investments. As Mike Sutcliff, Raghav Narsalay, & Aarohi Sen of Accenture Consulting explain in the September October 2019 Harvard Business Review; the primary reason is unsuccessful efforts to scale digital innovations beyond early pilot work.
Consider one sportswear brand that bet big on customization. This company spent heavily on robotics, machine learning, and 3D printing at a new manufacturing plant. It wanted to give customers the option of ordering personalized athletic shoes and getting them fast. Leadership hoped for a win that would fuel transformation across its other manufacturing locations. But operations and new technologies never meshed, and rapid production proved to be illusory. After three years, the company shut down the facility.
What's keeping companies from scaling pilots successfully? And what are the companies that are experiencing better returns on digital investments doing differently than the rest? To answer these questions, the authors asked the executives in the study to tell them in detail about their returns on digital investment (or RODI). Then, the authors looked at how well companies across the sample had scaled projects from the proof-of-concept stage. When the authors mapped those two critical parameters—higher-than-average returns and more successful scaling—they saw that 22 percent of the sample had demonstrated both.
The authors then dove deeper into that group to learn what they did differently. They focused on what survey respondents overall had identified as their top challenges and how companies in the leader group had dealt with...

Today is Word Braille Day. Coinciding with the birthday of Braille inventor, Louis Braille, the day recognises the important role the reading and writing system continues to play in providing independence for blind and low vision people.
In honour of the day we asked Chantelle Griffiths, Braille Awareness Coordinator and member at the Blind Foundation, to give us some insight into the impact braille has had on her life. Her are her words…
It is often said that necessity is the mother of invention, and both necessity and invention can come from the most unexpected of circumstances.
As the festive season draws to a close, we here in New Zealand enjoy the long-awaited summer with friends and family. I sit with a good book in the shade, marvelling at how necessity and invention culminated in a revolutionary idea that changed the lives of vision-impaired people like me around the world over 200 years ago. It enables me to enjoy the latest bestseller at the same time as my sighted peers. To you, this may not sound like a big thing. But to me, it means everything.
The 4th of January marks the birthday of Louis Braille, born in Coupvray, France in 1809. After a childhood accident left him blind in both eyes, he began studying at the Royal institute for Blind Youth in Paris at age 10. At the time, the only way for a blind person to read by touch was via embossed print letters, created by pressing wire into paper. This made it impossible for a blind student to write independently, and to have books produced in this way was costly and impractical.
The young Louis seized upon a system of dashes and dots that could be read by touch called Night Writing, created for the military by Charles Barbier. He immediately saw it as a more effective way for a blind person to read, and at the age of 15, developed his own system using a simplified version of only six dots. He reasoned that each character could be easily deciphered under a fingertip, and it was an instant success among his peers. He also created a system of musical notation using the same six dots.
There was much resistance to the new system among staff at the Institute, where Louis himself had been a teacher for many years. And it was not until 1854, two years after his death, that it became formally adopted by the school and more widely recognised as an acceptable method of literacy for blind people.
As I run my fingers over the words of my book, I think of how the necessity, in Louis's mind, was the need for blind people to communicate independently via the written word. Through his thirst for knowledge, he recognised that for a blind person to communicate on an equal footing with their sighted peers, reading and writing needed to be easy, efficient and practical. An equivalent to, yet separate from, the printed alphabet. Using the invention that resulted, a simple system of six small dots, for the first time, blind people would have equal access to literacy and numeracy in a way never seen before, creating opportunities for full participation in education, employment and life.
I think of how attitudes have changed in the years since, as braille has been considered the primary literacy medium for blind and vision-impaired people for many years now. It offers access to the written word in a way that parallels print for a sighted reader, providing literacy in a world where audio is often seen as the default way for a blind person to access information.
It makes me sad to know that Louis Braille did not live to see his system adopted as the primary literacy medium for the blind and vision-impaired in nearly every country, providing a way for them to read and write in nearly every known language from Albanian to Zulu. But what makes me sadder still is that, because of the rise in technology which relies on speech output as its main interface and the often prohibitive cost of modern braille devices, the use of braille is rapidly declining. As is the understanding of how important basic literacy skills are for the vision-impaired.
To me, it's not just about consuming information quickly and efficiently. It's about setting up our children and ourselves for success in a visual world. In a lifetime of living and working within the blindness community, I have never heard a parent argue that their sighted child should not learn to read because computers can read for them. Yet I hear this on a regular basis in a community in which braille literacy was once treasured and passed down to generations of blind students as a matter of course.
However, I also recognise that this is only part of the problem. The larger issue is awareness and education; how important it is for blind and vision-impaired people and their families to understand that braille literacy opens doors to countless opportunities in life. Studies show a vision-impaired person who reads braille has increased chances of success in employment and education. Braille readers are able to take advantage of accessibility initiatives like elevator buttons with braille and tactile signs in the community. And for the bookworms like me, reading remains a rich source of education and entertainment.
It's also up to the braille readers among us to demonstrate how braille is used every day. For everything from labelling spices and canned foods, to reading to children, playing games and delivering speeches. Musicians have equal participation in musical activities because they can independently learn to play a piece without hearing it first. Churchgoers can read the Bible and follow along in their songbooks with others in the congregation. Parents can follow a recipe to prepare nourishing food for their families, and children can succeed at school on their own merit in the same way as their peers, without constant help or supervision from support staff. Braille has kept me in meaningful employment since I left school, and even though I may not always choose to use it in every situation, I know I have the ability to independently read and write whenever and wherever I choose.
Therefore, instead of mourning the decline of braille and listening to a talking book, I choose to celebrate this historic birthday by using braille in every way I can think of. Whether it's composing an email on my iPhone with a braille display, labelling a newly planted herb in my container garden or simply by reading everything I can get my hands on. Literally. This is how I choose to celebrate the birth of a man who changed forever the landscape of what it means to be vision-impaired, as I feel that using the six-dot system he created and which bears his name – the simple, practical, portable system that allows blind and vision-impaired people to have true literacy – is the most fitting way to celebrate.
There is a quote by Jim Fiebig that comes to mind as my fingers skim across the page. Transmitting concepts, images and emotions to me through words that were meant to be read. "There is a wonder in reading braille that the sighted will never know: To touch words and have them touch you back." I will be forever thankful to those who chose to give me independence through braille literacy as a child. I will be forever grateful for the folk who work tirelessly to make content accessible for the vision-impaired. And I will be forever indebted to Louis Braille, the man who touched the world with his genius, and my life with his legacy.

November is Remembrance Month when we celebrate specific feasts around the theme of death:
1st November – All Saints, when we remember all the saints who do not have their own day on the calendar. These are the saints known to all of us but who might never be known to the world.
All Souls: 2nd November and all throughout the month, we remember our beloved dead, to pray that they are on their way to heaven, and to know that the whole Church prays with us. We also remember those who have no one left to pray for them and those who have died alone, unknown to anyone.
God of the living and the dead,
of the visible and the invisible,
of the seen and the unseen;
bless all, everywhere and in everytime.
For no one and no thing is beyond your generous love.

Man dies after stabbing in Bristol
BRISTOL -- Bristol police say they have a man in custody in connection with an early morning fatal stabbing.
Officers were called to a house on Lincoln Street at about 3:30 a.m. Friday and found a man who had been stabbed. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Another man was taken into custody. Police haven't released the names of the victim and suspect.
The victim's uncle told WTNH-TV that his nephew apparently went to the house to tell people at a party to turn down their loud music. Neighbors say loud parties often are held at the house.
Police didn't immediately confirm the uncle's comments.

Customize Note Printing
pranaman replied to pranaman's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)Just returning to this, as I am still noticing when I print notes with tables, the text is center aligned. On the screen, it is top aligned. I've confirmed it in the note settings: Cell Alignment/Align Content to Top. How can I have the text actually print top aligned?
getting the hang of that. i see there's a method to the madness.
We have the same feature. Doesn't seem to show which stack it's in though afaik.
Thanks, I just switched it.
I found it. I created a 'Notebook Stack', I think. It was under one of those. Though I knew the Notebook name, I didn't see a way to find out which "Stack" it was in. Found it through trial and error. Isn't a way that EN informs us which Stacks that Notebooks are in?
I see what it is. There are "stacks" in the W10 app/program (when did all programs become apps btw?), which allows a tree-like hierarchy, like in File Explorer or Finder. This does not exist in the web version, as far as I can tell.
I scanned a bunch of business cards a while ago. While I don't have that service right now, and I can find cards, and I can search for that notebook, I don't see a business card folder in my Notebook list. Isn't there supposed to be one?
@PinkElephant, thanks, I found it and sent them a tweet-ticket. No, I created the notebooks in the W10 app/client. I also use the iPhone app. They're not appearing in either. Yes, there notes are in each. 2 in one and 12 in the other. @CalS, thanks. I am just using one account.
no news on this?
Notebook Missing
pranaman posted a topic in General Technical IssuesI created 2 notebooks named Food For Standard Job Ideas I see them in the web version, but not in the W10 app. There may be more. Why is this and how can I get them back in the W10 app/desktop version?

pranaman replied to pranaman's topic in Evernote for Windows Issues (Versions 6.25.1 and under)"File - Print Preview or Ctrl+Shift+P for print preview" - thanks for that, however, when clicked, or if I press Ctrl+Shift+P, I am getting a Save As dialogue box. I think it's a bug/glitch. new issue/2nd bug - I created a new test note with some columns, saved it as pdf. My previous note was saved instead. Managed save it correctly and create a pdf showing the vertical centering. How it looks is how it's been printing so far. side note - I am using an old Vaio. It installed EN for Vaio. stuff.pdf
Hi, Using Windows 7 and 10 computers. I have some questions on printing. When I go to print, I do not see a print preview. Also, my notes with multiple columns look like they get centered vertically. I'd rather they stay flush to the top, just like they are on my screen. Is there a print preview? Is there a way to have notes with multiple columns not get vertically centered when printed?
EN on MacBook Pro Snow Leopard
pranaman replied to pranaman's topic in Evernote for Mac Issues (Versions 7.14 and under)Thanks, I updated to 10.11, so I could move my photos from my iPhone to my MBP. I am using that version of EN, will probably update soon to a newer one.

Multi-strategy private equity firm Siguler Guff & Company, which along with its affiliates has over $10 billion of assets under management, has closed its new commingled or pooled fund Siguler Guff BRIC Opportunities Fund III, LP (BRIC III) at around $650 million, as per a company statement. Siguler Guff manages funds of funds across strategies like distressed investments, real estate, small buyout besides direct investment funds in Russia.
BRIC III seeks to assemble a diversified portfolio of investments and co-investments in the emerging markets, with a primary focus on Brazil, Russia, India and China. It is a little over a quarter less than its predecessor BRIC II under which it raised $893 million in August 2007. The first fund in the series BRIC had raised $610 million in April 2005.
Siguler Guff said it has also closed three emerging markets-focused separate accounts during BRIC III fundraising.
Siguler Guff has been investing in the emerging markets since the early 1990s and in 1995 became the first US PE firm to invest in Russia. In 2005 it became the first private equity firm to raise a multi-manager fund targeting the BRIC economies and a year later became the first BRIC private equity fund of funds manager to establish an office in China.
"We look forward to continuing to use our extensive experience in these regions to create value for our clients," said Drew Guff, MD and founding partner of Siguler Guff.
"We seek to invest opportunistically within the emerging markets by exploiting areas of inefficiency and leveraging the high-growth characteristics of these regions," said Ralph Jaeger, MD and portfolio manager of the firm's emerging markets funds.
New York-headquartered Siguler Guff is involved in three lines of business: multi-manager funds, direct investment funds and separate accounts.
Siguler Guff has invested in over 380 private equity funds though its funds. The firm, which also provides discretionary private equity advisory services through Siguler Guff Advisers, has offices in Boston, Chicago, Moscow, Shanghai and So Paulo, and a local affiliate office in Mumbai.
In India, Siguler Guff has invested in several home-grown private equity funds besides direct investments in unlisted private sector lender Catholic Syrian Bank and gold loan retailer Manappuram Finance.
Last year, Praneet Singh, who headed Mumbai office of Siguler Guff, moved to New York to help the firm expand its investments in emerging market private equity funds. Singh, a managing director with the multi-strategy private equity firm, continues to manage the India investments of the firm. He is a member of the investment committees for the BRIC Opportunities Funds.

The new year and decade just started and I am excited to announce that publication of a pre-print that introduces Z-Curve.2.0 (Bartoš & Schimmack, 2020; Preprint). The ms. "Z-Curve.2.0: Estimating Replication Rates and Discovery Rates" is the product of a nearly year-long collaboration with František Bartoš.
Last year, František emailed me to introduce a new way of estimating z-curves finite mixture models with an EM-algorithm. We started working together on evaluating the density approach from Brunner & Schimmack (2019) and the EM algorithm. In the end, the EM algorithm performs a bit better although the density approach leaves some wiggle room to improve coverage for confidence intervals. Both methods produce useful estimates and confidence intervals with good coverage.
The collaboration with František was amazing and provides another example of the power of social media. Not only does it allow fast exchange of ideas, it also makes it possible to collaborate with people you might never meet otherwise. Just like I met Rickard Carlsson in person only several years after we became Facebook friends and started a journal together, I still have to meet František in person (hopefully this year).
František also created an R-package for z-curve ( Z-Curve Package ). We are pleased to make this package publicly available. Please try it out and give feedback so that we can improve it before František submits it to the R-team as an official package that can be downloaded.
Here is the abstract of the ms. and a figure that was created with the zcurve package.
This article introduces z-curve.2.0 as a method that estimates the expected replication rate and the expected discovery rate based on the test-statistics of studies selected for significance. Z-curve.2.0 extends the work by Brunner and Schimmack (2019) in several ways. First, we show that a new estimation method using expectation-maximization outperforms the kernel-density approach of z-curve.1.0. Second, we examine the coverage of bootstrapped confidence intervals to provide information about the uncertainty in z-curve estimates. Third, we extended z-curve to estimate the number of all studies that were conducted, including studies with non-significant results that may not have been reported, solely on the basis of significant results. This allows us to estimate the expected discovery rate (EDR); that is, the percentage of significant results that were obtained in all studies. EDR can be used to assess the size of the file-drawer, estimate the maximum number of false positive results, and may provide a better estimate of the success rate in actual replication studies than the expected replication rate because exact replications are impossible.
Keywords: Power estimation, Post-hoc power analysis, Publication bias, Expectancy Maximization, Z-curve, Replicability, Meta-Science, Expected Replication Rate, Expected Discovery Rate, False Discovery Rate, File-Drawer
Example -Figure created with graph.zcurve package.
Data are original test-statistics of 90 studies with good replication studies from the Open Science Collaboration(OSC) rep. project (OSC, 2015). Publication bias is indicated by the observed discovery rate (85/90 = 94% significant results) when the z-curve estimate of the expected discovery rate is only 39%. The expected replication rate of 62% successful replications is based on the assumption that studies can be replicated exactly. However, with contextual sensitivity, the expected discovery rate is a better estimate of the success rate in replication studies and it is more in line with the actual success rate (well, failure rate, really) in the OSC project.

"David & Jamie Yvinec-Dunlop have presented an outstanding and comprehensive text here which should act as an excellent study guide and support text for all faithful and diligent seekers after Truth.
Firstly in 'Part I – Topical Studies' the authors give very helpful verse by verse biblical answers to many important questions of faith and godly living. In the short essays in Part II, the authors expound on a number of issues that they see as core, and give much greater detail, with good breadth and scholarly support.
I found their essay on the 'Basic Guidelines for Sabbath Observance' to be an excellent introduction to Gentile believers new to Sabbath observance. While giving good explanations of the biblical mandates involved in the weekly observance of Shabbat (the Sabbath), their suggested approaches for day to day activities are most helpful and biblically authoritative, while still maintaining a considerate, and amenable teaching that is not dogmatic and restrictive, and therefore counter-productive.
When David & Jamie Yvinec-Dunlop state the maxim in their introduction that "The glories of the Bible are not discovered without diligent search.", it is clear that they speak from the heart, and from a life of serious diligence and faith that has led them to live these truths they expound upon.
While I found some of the issues presented not to carry the same weight in terms of teaching on day to day living as the sections on the Sabbath and the 'Life of the Believer', overall this book is an excellent resource for all who desire to be part of God's Kingdom.
And while there are some doctrinal positions that I would disagree with and dispute, there is so much more here that I fully embrace and that is central, in my opinion, to the life of a true believer in the God of Israel and in Yeshua HaMashiach.
I therefore most heartily endorse this book and recommend it as an important addition to your bookshelf and as an important reference for personal study and growth."

Show What You Can Do
Show what you can do with your strengths and skills. The process of discovering yourself can be so amazing and enlightening that you want to share your list of strengths and skills on your social media profile, website, and networking tagline whether it is written or spoken.
Just like a bowl of cherries, your abilities are so amazing that you want them to shine! Show your strengths in your passionate voice, your enthusiastic body language, and your face that lights up. Then tell your audience what you can do for them.
Five keys to giving your audience what they want:
Wrap up your business package or working skills in a delectable package that your listener can't resist. Your tagline should be short and succinct--tapping into a feeling--something to entice your typical audience. Say something meaningful to you, then listen to the needs of your audience and focus on the pieces of your business/career package that would most interest them. While most people--including myself--find this pie enticing, we each have unique Tastebuds.
We are all unique with our own needs. When sharing your business or career, start with your strengths as a business person, add your business or skills package, and then show your audience how you can meet their needs. If pie isn't working, then add ice cream or try a carrot.

The Peoples Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (PAFD) public meeting hosted by Oromo Student Union and Ogaden Community in Germany was held on 9th of April 2016 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
It was attended by two Executive committee members of PAFD, human rights advocators, invited guests, Veteran members of successful liberation movement, representatives of youths and Women and generally by the peoples and nations of member organisations of PAFD.
On this meeting, paper was presented by the officials of PAFD on the current political situation in the Horn of Africa with special emphasis on Ethiopia. The objectives of the PAFD were also explained. The atrocious nature of EPRDF across the empire, images and videos of the ongoing protest and public resistance from Oromia have been presented.

The jobs report makes the final quarter of 2008 either the worst since World War II or the seventh worse.
In terms of number of jobs lost, it ranks No. 1, with 1,531,000 jobs vanishing. The old high was the first quarter of 1958, when 1,087,000 jobs were lost. The first quarter of 1975 was the only other period in which a million jobs vanished.
The economy is much bigger than it was then, of course, so it may be fairer to look at percentage changes. In that, the quarter is No. 7.
Here are the top 10
1. First quarter, 1958, down 2.07%
2. First quarter, 1949, down 1.75%
3. Fourth quarter, 1953, down 1.32%
4. First quarter, 1975, down 1.30%
5. Fourth quarter, 1974, down 1.22%
6. Fourth quarter, 1949, down 1.13%
7. Fourth quarter 2008, down 1.12%
8. First quarter, 1954, down 1.09%
9. Fourth quarter, 1957, down 1.03%
10. Second quarter, 1980, down 0.98%
During the quarter, governments actually added workers. Private sector employment was down 1,550,000, or 1.35%. That is a record for private sector jobs lost, but it ranks as only the 10th-worst quarter in percentage terms.
Addendum: Some have asked why the 1940s and 1950s are so prominent on the list. One answer is that recessions then tended to lead to very large manufacturing layoffs, but those workers knew they would be recalled sooner or later.
