Mr Anokye (middle) addressing the press conference
The Central Regional Manager of Road Safety Commission (NRSC) has disclosed that a total of 136 people died through road accidents in the region whilst 1,149 sustained various degrees of injuries in 788 reported road crashes involving 1,168 vehicles in 2016.
According to him the death toll was an increase of 6.5 percent over the 2015 figure of 128 deaths, which also witnessed 843 injuries.
He attributed the main cause of such road crashes in the region to human error comprising tyre burst, disregard for road signs and markings, fatigue driving, speeding leading to wrongful overtaking among others.
"It is especially during the last quarter of the year that drivers abuse road traffic regulations with impunity," he added
Mr Anokye revealed this during a press conference held at Cape Coast on Tuesday.
He hinted that 20% of the accident in 2016 occurred in December and had affected the gains made so far.
Mr Anokye said most of the accident occurred in the last quarter of 2016 and the first two weeks of 2017 and his outfit had been worried.
He underscored the need for Police Administration to revert to their earlier circular and bring back the motor traffic police for their routine traffic checks on the roads.
"For their absence, drivers have taken to misbehaving recklessly on the roads thereby causing preventable crashes, without effective enforcement of road safety regulations, road safety education and publicity would be meaningless," he stated.
The NRSC Central Regional Manager also said that most of the accident recorded in the region involved Sprinter buses and therefore advocated the implementation of speed limit especially on the Sprinter commercial buses, adding it would help monitor the speeds driven by drivers of such buses.
The Regional Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) of the Ghana Police Service, ASP Emmanuel Ofori hinted that his outfit was committed in collaborating with other stakeholders to bring sanity on the nation's roads.
He appealed to drivers to take road traffic regulations seriously to avoid the unnecessary carnage on the roads promising that his outfit was determined to enforce all rules on road safety.

It's unfortunate that one of the most widely held stocks in the U.S. has proved to be such a frustrating investment. After "skyrocketing" to nearly $3.50 per share back in early October, Lucent's
A buck and a quarter won't even buy you a Big Mac these days, but it represents a 35% drop from Lucent's October high. If you've held the stock since the bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2000, you've parted ways with roughly 98% of your money. Meanwhile, the stock looks cheap at about 12 times earnings, and it's about to be acquired by archrival Alcatel
Well . not just yet. Not surprisingly, Lucent warned that sales and earnings would come in below expectations for the third quarter in a row. It blamed slower sales of North American wireless equipment, which is supposed to be THE growth avenue for Lucent as compared to its stodgier wireline business. Certain analysts attributed the weakness to customers such as Verizon
Investors have waited patiently for things to turn around at Lucent. Though sales growth finally returned to positive levels in 2004 -- after four disastrous years that almost threw the company into bankruptcy -- consistent profitability has continued to elude the former Bell Labs. Management finally gave up on going it alone; its merger with Alcatel is expected to close by the end of the year. More bullish investors expect the combination to cut costs by eliminating overlapping administrative and corporate functions. They hope the resulting company will be better able to deal with a smaller, more consolidated customer base that's looking to cut its own costs as growth in traditional wireline markets matures.
You would think that telecom equipment providers such as Lucent, Nortel
Whatever the case, shares of Lucent remain in the cellar, and they could be due for an upward swing. Current shareholders can only hope that the newly formed Alcatel/Lucent combination will be more successful than its individual components were. The industry continues to wallow in its sad state, but things have to improve at some point -- don't they?
AT&T was a former Motley Fool Stock Advisor pick.
Fool contributor Ryan Fuhrmann is long shares of Lucent and Nortel but has no financial interest in any other company mentioned. The Fool has an ironclad disclosure policy. Feel free to email him with feedback or to discuss any companies mentioned further.

Vango - contact!?
Found 17th Mar 2010
I want to call Vango (tents, rucksacs, sleeping bags etc etc) but both the numbers on the website are answered by a voicemail that states they can only deal with Australian Ugg Boot queries (??) and to call 0845 404 0506 with any other query. The problem is that that number is Consumer Direct, the government helpline for consumer issues. They can't tell me if there's a problem with Vango so I don't really know where to go now. There is an option to email Vango but I'm worried/curious now as to whether Vango have problems and my main concern is whether my Vango tent guarentee is worth anything. I would appreciate any help/knowledge. Thanks Sarah.

All gifts, big and small, help Athabasca University. What is important is your support, not the size of your gift. When you give, you join proud alumni and friends of the university who share your commitment and enthusiasm for AU.Top
Your gift will have the greatest impact when you dedicate it to one of the areas of greatest need as determined by Athabasca University. We have identified a number of priority initiatives that are critical to our students and the university. That said, if you have a particular area of interest, we would be happy to work with you to direct your gift accordingly.
Athabasca University is a registered non-profit organization; therefore, gifts to the university are tax deductible. When you give, we will mail you a charitable donation tax receipt that you can use for income tax purposes. Our charitable registration number is 10673 5830 RR0001. There are some instances, such as sponsorships, where gifts do not quality for a tax deduction. We will advise you of this when we discuss your gift.
We must abide by Canada Revenue Agency guidelines that state: "Tax-deductible gifts must be postmarked on or before December 31st of any given year to qualify for a tax-deductible receipt for that year."
Yes. If both you and your spouse/partner are filing claims, either of you can use a tax receipt, regardless of the name on the receipt itself.
Securities and mutual fund and trust units traded on the major Canadian and U.S. stock exchanges may be donated by transferring ownership directly to the university. You do not need to sell the securities before donating them, offering significant tax advantages. You can instruct your broker to transfer securities electronically to the university's broker or re-register the securities in the university's name and provide us with the stock certificate (electronic transfer is recommended). A tax receipt will be issued for the closing value of the securities on the day they become the property of AU. They will be sold by AU, and you may direct the proceeds of the sale to a particular project. To discuss a donation of shares, please contact us.
Contributions to Athabasca University are tax deductible against Canadian source income. If you live abroad, and you will be filing a tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency, use your AU tax receipt on your claim. It is always a good idea to check with your financial and legal advisors to get a complete list of your options. For more information, please visit the Canada Revenue Agency website or contact us.
We strive to ensure that donor records are accurate. If the information on your receipt is incorrect, please contact Beverley Watters, Manager of Fund Development and Services, at email@example.com or 403-294-7322. We will be pleased issue you a corrected receipt.
We issue one receipt per calendar year. This reduces administrative costs and eliminates the need for you to keep track of monthly receipts. A receipt for your total yearly gift will be sent to you in January of the following year and each January thereafter, or in the month following your final payment.
Gifts made through payroll deductions will be reflected on your T4 slip. No receipts will be issued as you can use your T4 in the same fashion as a charitable donation receipt. If you are making continuous gifts through payroll deductions, our records will reflect that you are making an ongoing pledge to Athabasca University.
When making a pledge, our office records your payment schedule according to your wishes. We send payment reminders before your scheduled payment is due. If we do not hear from you within 60 days, we will send a follow-up reminder. After 120 days, we will assume you would like your pledge deactivated. Pledges can be reactivated at any time.
Some companies offer a matching gift program to their employees, retirees or directors. If you work for a company that has a matching gift program, please ask your human resources office for a matching gift form. Submit the completed form with a copy of your receipt to our office, and your company will match your gift to Athabasca University. If you are not sure whether your employer matches gifts, we would be pleased to obtain this information on your behalf.
We can accommodate your request. We are proud to recognize the generosity of our donors through published donor lists (print and online) and donor recognition events. If you would prefer to (a) not have your name published with regard to a specific gift; (b) not have your name published with regard to any gifts, or (c) not be invited to donor recognition events, please contact Beverley Watters, Manager of Fund Development and Services, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 403-294-7322.
Yes. Anonymous donors must provide personal information for tax purposes, but that information will remain confidential within the Development and External Relations Office. In all university and public announcements, the gift(s) will be labelled 'anonymous' if requested by the donor.
Yes. There are numerous projects and programs that would welcome your support. The university has identified a number of funding priorities. If you have a particular area of interest and would like to discuss it supporting it, please contact us.
Yes. Scholarships and bursaries may be named in honour of individuals and organizations. Our experts work closely with the Student Awards Office to discuss options for every donor and to prepare the terms and conditions for both annual and endowed awards. For more information on scholarship or bursary opportunities, please contact the Development and Excternal Relations Office at email@example.com or call 403-294-7322.
If your gift is a named scholarship, fellowship or prize, you can find out the name of the award recipient. We will also be pleased to send you a copy of Athabasca University Scholarships and Awards Guide so that you can see how your award is listed.

To donate RRSP or RRIF accumulations, you should make a provision in your will for the same amount to be bequeathed to the university. In this way, the tax payable on the RRSP/RRIF will be at least partially offset by the benefits of the charitable donation receipt issued by the university to your estate. For a compete overview of options, contact us.
A gift of life insurance can be made to the university by transferring ownership of an existing policy or purchasing a new one. In order to be recognized as a charitable gift for tax purposes, Athabasca University must be designated as both the policy's owner and beneficiary.

The donor may determine with the university the purpose the proceeds of the policy will eventually support. To discuss options, please contact us.
Real estate, special collections, books, works of art, antiquities, equipment and professional services are all welcomed gifts to Athabasca University. Some gifts will be accepted as is and some will be sold with the proceeds from the sale used in a manner of your choosing. Many of these items are tax deductible based on the appraised value of the gift-in-kind. Please contact one of our development professionals to discuss the gift-in-kind you would like to make.
Please notify us when:
While AU accepts a wide array of cash and in-kind gifts, the Board of Governors reserves the right to accept or decline any gift. The Board's primary concerns are to ensure that all gifts are appropriate to the university, that they are receipted according to Canada Revenue Agency regulations and that the university can adequately and appropriately serve the donor's intent. If you have a question about the nature or designation of your gift, please contact us.

On June 26, 2017, the Supreme Court granted certiorari on an issue that has long divided the federal courts: whether a whistleblower is entitled to protection from retaliation for blowing the whistle internally even if he or she doesn't report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Supreme Court granted certiorari of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision in Somers v. Digital Realty Trust Inc. et al. which upheld the ability to bring anti-retaliation claims by a whistleblower who did not make a report to the SEC. The Ninth Circuit's decision held that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act's (Dodd-Frank) "anti-retaliation provision unambiguously and expressly protects from retaliation all those who report to the SEC and who report internally" (emphasis added).
However, many courts have found that these provisions are anything but "unambiguous." In his dissent in the Somers case, the Ninth Circuit's Judge John B. Owens recognized (and came out on the opposite side of) the ongoing circuit split regarding this interpretation of Dodd-Frank.
The circuit split stems from interpretation of Section 21F(h)(1)(A)(iii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), as promulgated under Dodd-Frank. This provision prohibits employers from retaliating against "whistleblowers" for, inter alia, "making disclosures that are required or protected under" the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbanes-Oxley), the Exchange Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1513(e), "and any other law, rule, or regulation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission."1 Among other laws, rules and regulations, several provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley require or protect reporting of alleged securities violations internally, without regard to further reporting to the SEC.2
At the same time, Section 21F(a)(6) of the Exchange Act limits the definition of "whistleblower" to "any individual who provides . . . information relating to a violation of the securities laws to the Commission."3 In reading this definition of "whistleblower" together with Dodd-Frank's anti-retaliation provision, both of which were specifically enacted by the same legislation, some courts have held that so-called internal whistleblowers (who never report to the SEC) are out of luck.
In 2013, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Asadi v. GE Energy USA LLC held that the "plain language and structure of the whistleblower-protection provision . . . unambiguously requires individuals to provide information relating to a violation of the securities laws to the SEC to qualify for protection from retaliation." Two years later, a divided panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Berman v. Neo@Ogilvy held the opposite. Acknowledging the "tension between" Dodd-Frank's definition of "whistleblower" and its anti-retaliation provision, which "renders section 21F as a whole sufficiently ambiguous," the Second Circuit held that the court would defer to the SEC's reasonable interpretation of the applicable statutes.
Less than two months ago, the SEC filed an Amicus Brief in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals addressing this very issue. It is the SEC's position, in keeping with its own Rule 21F-2(b)(1), that whistleblower anti-retaliation protections "extend to any individual who engages in the whistleblowing activities described in Section 21F(h)(1)(A) [of the Exchange Act], irrespective of whether the individual makes a separate report to the Commission."See Brief of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Amicus Curiae in Support of the Appellant and Reversal of the District Court, Verfuerth v. Orion Energy Sys., Inc., No. 16-3502 (7th Cir. May 5, 2017). It has urged deference to its interpretation of the relevant statutes, arguing that protecting internal reporters from retaliation is important to its enforcement efforts. The SEC therefore submitted a brief in support of the appellant in Verfuerth v. Orion Energy Sys., Inc., whose whistleblower retaliation claim under Sarbanes-Oxley had been summarily dismissed by the Eastern District of Wisconsin because he blew the whistle internally rather than to the SEC. The District Court had concluded that "[s]imply telling a person he might be committing fraud is not whistleblowing."4
With the Supreme Court set to rule on this issue, whistleblowers and companies will soon have much-needed clarity on the scope of the applicable anti-retaliation protections should employees choose to make an internal report before reaching out to the authorities.

Conservatives attend Charlton NHS Consultation
Local Conservatives attend Charlton NHS Consultation
by Thomas Turrell
On Monday 3rd December, Deputy Chairman of Greenwich Conservatives, Thomas Turrell and Gemma Robinson attended the consultation meeting on South London NHS trust's proposals from the Special Administrator. The Trust Special Administrator was called in July 2012 following the news it was losing £1 million pounds every day. This dramatic overspending could not go on. The meeting was held at Charlton Athletics Football ground, the Valley.
The meeting began with a video outlining the major changes to the South London NHS. The video explained that as the NHS works as a unit and not a collection of NHS Trusts, therefore the changes to the South London Trust affected not just the Boroughs of Bromley, Bexley and Greenwich but also the Boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham and the roles of hospital across these areas change.
Residents in the room quickly raised their concerns with the proposed closures of Lewisham A&E and possible closure of Lewisham Maternity unit. Although the consultation was for the local residents of Charlton, Greenwich and Woolwich the residents were concerned that new flow of patients from Lewisham A&E to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich and whether this would add strain and stress to the staff. The Administrator said he understood the concern but was confident the new model would avoid any strain on the local NHS, he referred to the Video about the roles of all hospitals across the six boroughs will be changing.
Thomas, a Former NHS public Governor said "to me the problem with the old trust was that the public were not able to be engaged and the Trust was not held to account" and asked the Administrator "Is there any plan to have publically elected Council of Governors in the new trust to hold the new board to account?." The Administrator replied saying he fully agreed with Thomas on the accountability front, saying he has a Chief Executive of an NHS Trust without Foundation Trust Status (like South London Trust, so had no Governors nor members) and of a Foundation Trust and found himself more accountable and more connected with the public at the Foundation Trust as all FT's are required to have members and a Council of Governors. In answer to the question the administrator said there were no plans to recommend the new trust ne a Foundation Trust but all NHS trusts are supposed to aim for FT status, so in the long term he would hope to see a membership based and Council of Governors established.
At the end Gemma spoke to the administrator and raised to the important issue of public awareness, Gemma highlighted that the consultation was not very well publicised and therefore in future would it be possible for the administrator to put leaflets around the local area telling them of the changes. The Administrator agreed to put out more correspondence around the final changes to ensure the public is fully informed of changes!

New Delhi: Celebrated Pakistani humanitarian Abdul Sattar Edhi, founder and head of Edhi foundation that looked after Geeta, on Tuesday declined Prime Minister Narendra Modi's donation of Rs 1 crore to his charity.
"Abdul Sattar Edhi has thanked Mr Modi and politely declined to accept his announced financial help," Edhi Foundation Spokesman Anwar Kazmi said.
Modi on Monday announced the contribution to the charity after the return of hearing and speech impaired girl Geeta to India.
"What the Edhi family has done is too priceless to be measured but I am happy to announce a contribution of Rs. 1 crore to their foundation," Modi tweeted on Monday.
The Prime Minister also thanked the Edhi family, whom he described as "apostles of kindness and compassion" for taking care of Geeta, a PMO release said.
Complimenting Bilqis Bano Edhi, co-founder of the foundation and wife of Abdul Sattar, he said, "I don't think any amount of words is enough to thank the Edhi family for taking care of Geeta with love and affection for so many years."
PM Modi yesterday met Geeta when she returned to India, after spending more than a decade in Pakistan, under care of Edhi Foundation.
"Welcome back home, Geeta. It is truly wonderful to have you back home. Was truly a delight to spend time with you today. All of India will take care of you," Modi said and assured that every effort would be made to trace her family as she embraced him warmly.
Upon learning that Bilqis was born in Junagadh's Bantwa area in Gujarat, the Prime Minister invited her to visit Junagadh along with her family.
External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who was present on the occasion, also complimented Bilqis and the Edhi Foundation for the love and affection that they have showered on Geeta.

Ferrari chooses Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres as sole fitment on its 458 Speciale
Michelin has been selected as the exclusive worldwide supplier of tyres for the new Ferrari 458 Speciale.
The simultaneous co-development of the tyre and car, using both simulated and track tests, led to very high levels of performance in three specific areas that were identified prior to the start of the project: faster dry lap times, consistent performance lap after lap and optimal grip on wet roads. In short, the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyre is an integral part of the new Ferrari 458 Speciale and a key component in giving it its exceptional performance.
The new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyre with its five high-tech features
The tread compound
Produced with the same tools used to manufacture race tyres, the tread compound of the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 integrates Bi-Compound technology. The outer rubber has been specially designed to deliver outstanding dry grip on curves, especially in tight corners, while the inner part of the tread uses rubber made with a more rigid elastomer to ensure precise steering.
An aramid fibre belt
The main feature of the belt made with aramid, a high-density fibre, is its heightened tensile strength. This composite is both light and highly resistant; in fact, it is five times stronger than steel at an equivalent weight. The tyre's footprint remains constant as centrifugal growth of the tyre is effectively controlled, even at very high speeds.
The Track Variable Contact Patch 3.0®
This innovation optimizes pressure in the tyre's contact patch so that a constant and optimum amount of rubber is always in contact with the track, thereby ensuring superior grip in both long and fast, and tight corners.
A new bead area
The bead area is 10 per cent wider than that of a traditional sports tyre. It is strengthened with a high
modulus rubber compound that increases the tyre's lateral stiffness and delivers sporty
responsiveness as well as precise steering.
Velvet sidewalls for clearer markings
The Michelin Velvet Technology® creates contrast on certain sections of the outer sidewall using micro-geometry techniques that absorb light. The geometry of the texture thus generated allows technicians to vary the contrast and create shades of black that have the look of velvet and make the sidewall markings much more visible.
The very high performance levels of the new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 are made possible due to the considerable resources that Michelin invests in its research and development activities – around €600 million per year. This means that the Group's products do not only perform in one or two specific areas, but in all areas and this is what is known as 'Michelin Total Performance'.
Tyre sizes for the new Ferrari 458 Speciale:

Fylingdales fire site regeneration project, N. Yorks.
LocationCounty: North Yorkshire
Nearest town or settlement: Ravenscar
Contact detailsContact name: Rachel Pickering
Email: email@example.com
Tel: 01439 770657
Website: Aerial survey of Fylingdales moor fire site on English Heritage website
Project description
Following a severe heath fire on 600 acres of moorland in September 2003 the project objectives were:
Using seed collected and sourced from nearby moors, and Agrostis castellana (a cultivar suited to very acid soils) as a 'nurse grass' volunteers and NYMNP staff took part in the practical restoration work.
The 2003 fire on Fylingdales Moor highlighted how devastating wildfires can be, as it burnt the vegetation and top layer of soils from a 250 ha area of SSSI moorland. After the £135,000 partnership restoration project, managed by the Authority, the moor is recovering well and has largely revegetated, protecting the thousands of archaeological features which where uncovered by the fire. A report on the archaeology is available from the National Park Authority.

A smartphone compatible training device that claims to help cyclists avoid overtraining has been launched in the UK.
The £225 CHECK is a user-operated device that sends a low voltage current through the muscles and nerves and measures the intensity and delay of the returning signal. It is similar technology to that used in TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units, which are often used to treat pain.
The CHECK system synchronises with a user's smartphone and after a 30-second reading, displays a Training Readiness score. This, say the developers, is an indication of the body's state of repair and whether it is advisable to carry on training or have a rest.
It will also give a recommendation for an upcoming training session's intensity based on the rate of recovery.
It banks data to create a long-term training profile which, claim the developers, will help users avoid overtraining and its associated pitfalls such as injury and excessive fatigue.
The CHECK smartphone app is compatible with Android 4.0-4.2 and iPhone 4s, 5, 5c/s along with iPad3 and Mini.
Suunto – also a Finnish company – incorporated an overtraining avoidance programme into its previous generation of T-series watches. Dubbed Training Effect, it assessed physical effort during a session which allowed users to dose their effort to avoid going too deep unnecessarily.
CHECK is a device that is aimed at preventing you from overtraining

Attending: Bill Kurtz, Roger Lane, Kathi Cambiano, Joel Parker, Sonia Dyer, Loyd Monaco, Bill Muncasy, Alex Morgan
Called to order at 10:40AM
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as published.
Roger passed out the Treasurer's Report.
April 5 & 6 is our target date for the spring show at Peterson. Bill K to coordinate.
Bill K reports that for the first 6 months of 2014 we will be put by Prusch in the Meeting Hall building (the one with the kitchen). Joel was approached by a boy scout leader this morning asking how do they rent the multicultural room.
Per Bill we still haven't received the Buchser custodian bill ($320) from the spring show.
Bill has received a bill from Peterson for the fall show ($400 for custodians and $500 for room rental), so we owe the Santa Clara Unified School Dist $900. Roger gave Bill a check to give them.
Discussion of having a field trip next spring to UC-Davis. Roger will discuss possible dates for next spring, before the weather gets hot, with Earnesto Sandoval. The Monterey Bay Club would be invited to join us. Loyd will get in touch with Earnesto to give him a heads up and make sure it's ok with him.
Program Schedule: Nov 3 Trip to Mexico Brian Kemble, Sat. Dec 7 party. We need to book speakers/activities for next year. We'll probably have in January Russell Wagner on Aeoniums of the Canary Islands. Kathi suggests a hypertufa demo in the warmer months. Carl Fredricks is a possibility. Loyd suggests a program on dealing with pests. Feb meeting is usually short because of the Super Bowl. Sonia suggests having Kim Manfredi give another session on pottery making. Loyd will contact her. For the Holiday function plant exchange, Loyd proposes we put the donor's name on a tag for each plant to move things along more quickly.
Minishow – Kathi reports some items were missing from after the last minishow when she had to leave early (signs, beginner's luck entries,etc). Loyd to doublecheck. Kathi needs a partner to help her with the minishow and cover occasions when she can't be there. There was agreement that we need more member-participation in general instead of having the same set of 6 or 7 people trying to do everything and ending up burned out.
Donation in Frank Bloss' memory. Loyd broached with Naomi. Naomi's family is looking into getting a bench at the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum, that we might contribute to. Naomi to get back with Loyd.
Loyd would like the club to have team tee shirts and caps. Kathi and Sandy Carter have a computer file of the club logo. Kathi will send a copy to Loyd for follow up.
Show and sale. Roger volunteered to put together a checklist of things that have to get done to have a successful show. We will then review/discuss/expand and think of which members would be appropriate to approach about taking ownership. Loyd expressed frustration about getting a printable copy of the postcard mailing list from the previous holder. Multiple copies should be held (at least by the secretary and president) of critical documents in a readable format like .doc. MSP. Bill M recommends that vendors be given a 75/25 split, due to the lack of assistance from club membership in unloading and loading plants and rising costs. Loyd would like to call a special board meeting soon to just discuss the show issues and we agreed that this will be a good idea. Loyd to coordinate.
A motion was made to have all organization records in the possession of the secretary and president. The motion was seconded and passed.
Adjourned at 11:55AM.

Iphone pics from a night out last Saturday. I try not to take my camera out anymore as I always loose it, get excited and leave it on a table to go and talk to someone I haven't seen in ages. I wore an Amy Childs collection from Lipsy dress. It's my current fave. Her collection is actually pretty fab and I'd love to own every single dress. You can check the collection out here. More outfit pics to follow later on in the week.

We have a SCD 2 table PARTY_ID_HIST. It has a surrogate key named Party_sk based on the source system primary key party_id_num. Due to some code issue the table has been populated repeating values and values pre-fixed with 0 for column party_id_num. Due to this there are new surrogate key values generated for column party_sk.
Party_sk Party_id_num
1 12345
2 12345
3 12345
4 012345
5 012345
I have been told to remove duplicate entries. There are two challenges:
1. I dont to delete duplicate entries while maintaining historical record of SCD 2. That means if there are new surrogate keys generated due to change in some other attributes, those records should not be removed.
2. What to do with wrong Party_sk column which have been populated in other tables?
Hi Singh,
First thing is job security. Take back up always.
You have not told about the SCD 2 , whether it is flag, version, start date end date or a combination of these. Sample data ??????
Once you have a backup, you can do whatever you want.
Anyone who has performed data reconciliation on SCD 2 as mentioned in the title post?

If there's a virtue to stocks with low single-digit P/E's, it's this -- Korean steel giant and Motley Fool Income Investor recommendation POSCO
It was a rough quarter. Sales were down more than 7%, operating income dropped almost 33%, and net income fell by about 68%. That bottom-line number was especially ugly; POSCO delivered about $391 million in net income vs. the average analyst expectation of $646 million.
The culprits in the quarter aren't too exotic or difficult to find. China has been aggressively ramping up steel production, lowering prices for Asian steel by about a third in 2005. As a result, POSCO recently had to take double-digit price cuts on many product lines.
On the other side of the ledger, production costs are much higher this year. Coking coal (a.k.a., met coal) prices have more than doubled, and iron ore prices were more than 70% higher in 2005. No wonder, then, that many major steel companies are hard at work developing captive supplies of ore and coal.
Things will likely get worse for POSCO before they get better. Companies like BHPBilliton
I wouldn't call POSCO my No. 1 or No. 2 idea in steel today, but it's a very strong company with a near-monopoly in the Korean market -- a big producer of steel-using goods like appliances, cars, and ships. What's more, the company is expanding into higher value-added products and gaining more control over its power and raw material needs. And it provides a nice little dividend, to boot. All in all, I'd say it's still a stock worth holding.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was the chairman of Creating Committee who took obligations as well as sent the constitution of India to the Setting Up on Fourth of November in 1947 however it took years to get imposed on 26th of January in 1950 to honour the promise of PURNA SWARAJ".
Since on the very same day in 1950 it was stated as Sovereign Democratic Republic, India commemorates Republic Day on 26th of January. In the National funding, a salute of 21 weapons is offered to the Indian National Flag and after that National Anthem is sung.
At now, a legal holiday is proclaimed by the Indian Federal government. Due to the fact that India ended up being republic from British Rule, it is the day of much value for every Indian person. We are on a regular basis commemorating the Republic Day of India because 1950 as on 26th of January in 1950 India constitution came into pressure.
National awards (Maha Veer Chakra, Ashok Chakra, Param Veer Chakra, Veer Chakra) and valor medals are likewise dispersed at this particular day to the soldiers of militaries, common people and also trainees from the institution.

ABBYY FineReader Engine
Powerful OCR SDK to integrate ABBYY's state-of-the-art document OCR, ICR, OMR, OBR, document imaging and PDF conversion technologies into various applications for server, desktop, mobile, MFP or other devices.
After the documents are recognized you need to save the recognized data.
ABBYY FlexiCapture Engine allows you to export all relevant data into backend applications and converts analysed documents into searchable PDF or PDF/A for archiving purposes. Data Capture technologies export data to structured formats (XML, CSV) or other storage location. Sometimes the images of the original documents are also saved.
With ABBYY FlexiCapture Engine developers can benefit from the following enhanced export capabilities:
Redaction means preserving confidential or sensitive data. Developers can:
It is possible to set up Document Templates in a way to change the look of images for each export destination by redacting certain fields on the image.
Document image files are usually very large due to the background, which is often makes up to 90% of the file size. The background may, however, be unnecessary in the resulting document. It is the text and pictures that are important.
The MRC compression technology allows locating the color background and deleting it or compressing to a high degree. This leaves text and pictures against a white background contributing to smaller file size.
Picture objects (diagrams, graphs, logos, photos, drawings, stamps, signatures, etc.) are also slightly compressed, but only to an extent that doesn't lower the quality.
The MRC technology analyzes the outlines of similar characters in the document, creates an average character template and uses it instead of a character itself. This leads to better readability, because some of the text defects are corrected, and the character outlines become more precise.
As a result, you get a smaller image which looks even better than before. The resulting document will have an unobtrusive bland background with fine text and pictures.
This "reconstruction" of the document can be useful when you have to deal with low quality images due to: bad lighting, out-of-focus photo, incorrect scanning/photo parameters, dark uncoated paper, or document dilapidation.
All this results in the image having a dark background with additional textures. The text appears blurred and difficult to read.
The MRC technology allows for better document appearance and up to 8-10 smaller file size than JPEG.
Name the resulting files according to your business needs.
When setting up Document Templates developers may add as much parameters and index field values to their export files naming scheme as they need. New options provide more flexibility and an extensive choice of tags:
Export Settings - Naming Schema: Custom > Edit > Export File Destination - Naming Schema > Add Tag

Directors: Rui Maio | Tânia Rodrigues | Pedro Pinto Marques
Pancreatic cancer is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death, but its incidence has increased so much that it is expected to be the second leading cause of death by 2030, immediately behind lung cancer.
Surgery is currently the only potentially curative therapeutic option. However, at the time of diagnosis, only about 20% of tumors are considered resectable. A better understanding of tumor biology, early diagnosis, and use of neoadjuvant therapy, are ways to change this scenario.
Surgical outcomes (particularly in terms of complications, hospitalization time, postoperative morbidity and mortality), rate of survival and utilized resources are closely related to volume, so treatment of these patients is only recommended in specialized centers that perform at least 20 pancreatic resections per year.
The Pancreatic Cancer session addresses the most current topics related to this pathology:
- Understanding of tumor biology and diagnosis and therapeutic orientation of premalignant lesions
- Personalized therapy in pancreatic cancer
- How to improve results in resectable pancreatic cancer
- What are the challenges in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer
- What is the state of the art in pancreatic surgery
These topics will be presented and discussed by a panel of national and foreign specialists with a recognized reputation in the treatment of this disease.

Twenty -two. That is how many American service members and veterans take their lives every single day. Twenty-two.
My son lost another comrade today. He posted his farewell on Facebook and by the time the authorities got there, he was dead. A young man, serving our country, took his own life, like so many before him. Caleb came to me terribly upset moments ago. We shed tears together. He said, "You couldn't tell he was sad, he was always so happy".
That is how depression works. The world sees a person that is all right. Everything seems fine in their lives, but depression lies. It says, "Everything is wrong, you are worthless, you are insignificant". Depression lies. Even when you do great things and succeed and earn accolades, it is there whispering in your ear…"you are worthless, the world is a bad place, you will never be successful, everyone is better off without you"… And the circle of negative thoughts and even suicide begin to turn once more.
I know, I have depression and some days I have to go to my husband and tell him that it's not a good day, sometimes, he sees it when I don't say anything and he helps me through. I am lucky that my husband and children are supportive and that I have good medical care. I'm lucky that I can talk to them whenever I need them and they help me fight the darkness.
I didn't know this young man. I haven't known any of the men that have killed themselves that have personally served with Caleb. That number is six. Caleb served for six years, that is one member of the Air Force each year of his service that took his own life. With all of the care out there, the resources for veterans and our men and women serving in the armed forces, this should not happen. I am heartbroken. I am heartbroken for his mom and dad, friends, and family. I am heartbroken for my military family.
If you are suffering, you are not alone. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! It is not weakness to ask for help, it is not weakness to fight the demon of depression! It is a battle and you are strong. You have gotten this far. Please call The Veterans Crisis Line at 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, if you are serving or have served. Or text, 838255. Someone is there to talk to you and help you.
If you are not a service member, then please help out by joining The Mission 22 Team. Help spread the word and help our service members. They serve us, it is the least that we can do.

Haha...alhamdulillah...i have already given a birth to a baby girl safely and sound..despite all the healthy issue i faced during pregnancy period..i guess some of you might read it...if any la..now i m back to blog again...
Before i totally forget the details i will blog about the trip that i called it semi euro or quater euro ...whatever i call it...
So me and my hubby thought it would be great to visit some of the country on the way back for good from UK.
Before that we try to 'khatam' london visit before we headed to Paris.
From Wales we just rented a car from enterprise and choose to return it in London since we used the public transport to mingle around the city..the best way to mingle around London is to used public transportation...their transportation can be reliable and efficient!!
Bare in mind if you would like to rent a car , better make it an early booking..the price is cheaper..and of course if you choose the manual car..far cheaper than the auto car.
This traveling period is act in Jan 2016..is like a year been past..but i dont want to miss to blog about it,
From London airbnb house we just book a taxi to go to the station called St.Pancras...
there is a lot of route to go almost anywhere in Euro...make sure you come early before your call time.
Oh before that..we used some of the websites to compare the air tickets.such as kayak.com and Skyscanner .com.. but because we decide it too late so my advice is better plan it earlier so you might be lucky if you can get a cheaper price.
We decide to ride by the train from London-Paris.reason being is to experience it and..it is just for an hour plus ride..and during that time the cost for four of us is cheaper by using the train.It is a fun ride.we dont even realise the travelling hour and found out that we already reach the Paris train station.
Hey where is the undersea tunnel.?..tak sempat tidur pun...
The best part is the kids under 4 can travel for free!!given that they will be sitting on your lap ok..:)
The price is changing so just have alook at the website for your chosen date or look for a deal that they might have.
This is the websiteEurostar to buy or check your ticket.
We have to handle the luggage by ourself so make sure you bring luggage no. that you can manage..we just decide to bring 2 luggages...ha...see the picture...my husband la ni....Be extra carefull when youre at the station. First, because you are first timer,you might look like a blur person :)
Second, if you are with the kids you might be busy checking the no.of your luggage and kids. Third someone will approach you to grab a taxi so you might be not in a ready and conscious sitution yet. Once everything cleared you may be headed to the exit door and que for a taxi or if you already have somebody to pick you up..just go ahead.. Air bnb in Paris

I was in Paris with the beautiful skincare brand Darphin the other week and decided that instead of having a blissful, baby-free lie-in at the hotel (Le Meurice), I'd set my alarm for 6am and get some filming done. What a berk. As it turned out, it didn't get light enough outside for me to film in my room until about 7.30am so I sort of pottered about reading the copy of Grazia I nicked from the Eurostar lounge and cursing myself for being such a work-obsessed twit.
By the time the light was okay near the window I only had around half an hour to do my filming and so the any makeup I did needed to be quick and easy. It had been a sticky 31 degrees outside in Paris the day before and so it also had to be makeup that would hold in place and not slide about. I went for my trusted favourite, foundation-wise – the Perfection Lumiere Velvet from Chanel – and kept everything pretty simple. A bit of bronzer, something shady on the eyes and a posh nude lipstick.
You can see the full process, including room service interruption (for your information, I had a fresh fruit platter, a yoghurt, a pastries basket, an orange juice and poached eggs on toast with a side of bacon – the baby-to-be made me do it) in the video below or by clicking here. I've listed the products used at the bottom of the page – I must do a standalone review for the new Bourjois concealer because it really is tip-top.

Ten days after the sack of Jim Obazee the erstwhile executive secretary of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, the mood across a section of Nigeria's Christendom would appear far from assuaged; never mind that the 'cheeky fellow' who dared the 'church' establishment has been taken out; it seems there can be no appeasement – not after that sensational 'stepping down' by Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, the revered leader of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, from the office of General Overseer in the early hours of January 7 – until all his acts in office are undone.
Clearly, if the boundless triumphalism and backslapping that greeted the news of his forced exit any reflection of the new-found power of a wing of Christendom, it would hardly surprise if the institution which deigns to entrench the culture of corporate governance into all facets of the nation's public life is dismantled brick by brick.
At least, that much was said by Musa Asake, the cleric who currently doubles as the General Secretary of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in his first reaction to the sack last week.
"The sack of Jim is good riddance to bad rubbish. Anybody that wants to fight the church will find himself where he does not want.
"Jim got to the position by the grace of God but set out to probe and destroy the church of God. I spoke with him several times on this issue but he wouldn't listen. He was going to take the church to what is worse than Armageddon".
"That code should be thrown out completely because government should not interfere with the church. The church is a no-go zone for the government. Doing that has serious implications. If they attempt it, it will lead to confusion in the nation."
The code in question of course is the National Code of Corporate Governance 2016 issued by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria effective October 17, 2016. A three-part code covering the private, public and the not-for-profit sectors, it advertises its intentions as: "to develop the principles and practices of Corporate Governance applicable in Nigeria. Whereas the Code of Corporate Governance for the Private Sector is mandatory; that for Not-for-Profit entities is governed by the rule of "Comply or Justify non-compliance"; while that of the Public Sector is said to be awaiting executive directive from the Federal Government.
That regulation designed to entrench corporate governance in the nation's public life has now been "suspended".
Beyond what is now falsely presented as Jim Obazee versus The Church, or even FRC versus The Church; it is doubtful that many Nigerians can claim to understand what the issues at the heart of the brouhaha are. Simply because a section of the church is currently leading the charge, I have struggled to understand the basis of the unhelpful posturing which suggests that corporate governance is not just as an alien concept but a needless intrusion into the sacred terrain. Aside having no basis either in the scriptures, church traditions, or even recent church history, one only needs to refer at the template put in place by the early church to cast out any doubts about what ought to be the position of the church in the face of the raging contentions.
By the way, didn't Apostle Paul say that the righteousness of the believer should surpass those of the Pharisees, the keepers of the law?
Taking the story as told in the book of Acts of Apostles Chapter 6: 1-4 as guide, it is clear that the early church not only anticipated the complexity that would inevitably attend to the quantum growth in the church, they actually left us a handy template to follow. I quote the entire four verses of chapter 6: 1 About this time, when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenists made a complaint against the Hebrews: in the daily distribution their own widows were being overlooked. 2 So the Twelve called a full meeting of the disciples and addressed them, 'It would not be right for us to neglect the word of God so as to give out food; 3 you, brothers, must select from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, filled with the Spirit and with wisdom, to whom we can hand over this duty. 4 We ourselves will continue to devote ourselves to prayer and to the service of the word.'
Will the above not pass for a clear delineation of the priesthood from the mundane routines of administration? While that is self-regulation at its best, is there anything in the tradition and practices of the more established churches that suggest the kind of separation between the church and the state as being canvased by some?
Not in the age of terrorism and certainly not in an age of world without borders can that be contemplated. Certainly not when the churches are registered under the Corporate and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) – a factor that comes with its own obligations; not when the draw huge pool of funds from the public much of which are deployed not necessarily for not-for-profit ends.
Of course, I understand some of the anger about 'term limits' for General Overseers – a provision that is at best superfluous. Apart from the "comply or justify' rule which render it nugatory, a careful reading of Section 9.2 which says "In the case of religious or cultural organisations, nothing in this code is intended to change the spiritual leadership and responsibilities of Founders, General Overseers, Pastors, Imams and Muslim Clerics, Presidents, Bishops, Apostles, Prophets, etc. which are distinguishable from purely corporate governance and management responsibilities and accountabilities of the entities" –should ordinarily dispel any fears about the intention of the regulation.
But then, this is Nigeria, a country where matters of faith are hardly amenable to reason.
Thank God Pastor Adeboye has taught by his force of personal example, not just the duty of obedience to the law, he has by so doing, displayed those virtues that sets him apart as a leader among leaders. It is something that the Nigerian church should be justly proud. In the long run, the Nigerian church can only be better for it.
Finally, I recall a book I read several years ago with the title – The man who could do no wrong written by an American Televangelist Charles E. Blair. To those canvassing the argument that matters of the church are best left for the celestial plane, it comes highly recommended. It is an account of a tragic but nonetheless riveting life story of a man who transformed Denver's Calvary Temple into one of the largest non-denominational churches and presided over its growth for 50 years only to sink into the abyss after running foul of the law. I also invite them to take out time to read the story of the South Korean pastor, David Yonggi Cho, founder of the world's largest Pentecostal congregation sentenced to three years in prison (suspended) for embezzling 13 billion won (US$12 million) in church funds.
You want to know my takeaway in all of these? First, is that neither the FRC nor its disgraced executive secretary is the awaited anti-Christ. Second is that the Nigerian church will be better served by greater openness and transparency. I speak here of the institution to which I am privileged to belong – by Grace.
Not the anti-Christ

"We have already contracted with Gemmi to help us with our next project."
"Through the entire project, Gemmi Construction exceeded my expectations. They provided us guidance as to how to enhance the project and a helping hand to stay on budget. When you think about having contractors in your house (maybe 8-10 hours daily) for 5 to 8 months, the dust, the noise, the disruption of routine and then think of a compatible contractor who communicates at all levels, who you can trust — think Gemmi Construction and at the end of the project you will know you made the right choice. I know I did."
Jacquie F. Lewis
Solebury, PA
"In 2005, we engaged Gemmi construction to put an addition on our house. One of our primary concerns was that the addition didn't look like 'an addition', and it blended in with the original house. The best compliment we get from our friends is 'where's the addition'!! In 2008, we decided to totally remodel our kitchen. We didn't even think about calling anyone else but Gemmi. I can't say enough good things about the quality of the work Gemmi has done for us. They are friendly, flexible and dependable. If a third project comes along, they will be the ones we call!!"
Scott Powell
Buckingham, PA
"John obviously saw it all in his mind's eye, and provided us the details we needed. Then the Gemmi crew came in, and Matt, Ron and the other guys on the team could not have been more professional and personable. We have already contracted with Gemmi to help us with our next project — we wouldn't think of using anyone else."
The Ross Family
Buckingham, PA
"I cannot say enough good things about Gemmi Construction. John and Lizie are a delight to work with, and their crew is unsurpassed. I had heard so many horror stories about kitchen renovations, and I can honestly say that I was sorry to see the Gemmi crew leave (especially Matt)! And it took precisely two months from the start of construction to the day they finished. Professional, efficient, with an extraordinary attention to detail. Any one who decides to go with Gemmi will not be disappointed."
Amanda Buschi
Doylestown, PA
"We had our very own Project Manager who was available to us all day, every day. As a matter of fact, he called me at the end of each day to apprise me of the progress made and what to expect the following day. He also would get back to me with answers to my many questions within minutes. In addition, I either texted or spoke with John whenever I needed him. Although we had many subcontracters working with us, all had the Gemmi work ethic — arrive on time, respect the premises, work hard and mitigate any potential upsets as quickly as possible. If you are looking for quality beyond compare, elite service, and a feeling of respect for your time, finances and space, then we highly recommend Gemmi Construction."
Pamela and Gene Alpin
Doylestown, PA
"With Dawn being a manager of a doctor's office and me being a Journeyman Tool & Diemaker, we greatly appreciate the craftsmanship and attention to detail that you not only exude but is also exhibited by all of your employees and additionally by the choice of your recommended sub-contractors."

Laura Gies just send me these nice little wordclouds that so neatly illustrate my blog from yesterday. The first one is a cloud capturing the essence of Obama's January 2010 State of the Union Address.
This one relates to Barroso's speech at the European Parliament last week.
Of course, I take them as confirmations of yesterday's blog 😉

A personal experience of open-air theatre
by Karen Westropp, Yourstage Course Administrator
One of the most anticipated days in the school calendar when I was at Tring Park Arts Educational School was the end of year Founders Day where we performed for parents in the Elizabethan gardens of the school. A huge undertaking for all those concerned from timetabling rehearsals through summer rain to choreographing dance pieces to fill the enormous space of the lawn. In preparation, at the start of the summer term one of our lessons each week would be to 'thread the wings'. This would mean we spend just over an hour a week threading cuttings from the gardens into mesh fences to produce the wings for the performers to wait behind until their entrance and I remember we'd always try and leave subtle holes so we would be able to peer out and spot our parents on the day.
As you can imagine things often didn't run smoothly, which is the same in all live theatre and certainly adds to the element of excitement both on and off stage. For our performance we had no staging other than the 'hedge' wings so we'd be dancing directly on the lawn – not very easy and I'm amazed there weren't more injuries. We also had no head mics for the actors so would have one cast off stage on microphones while the second cast, performed on stage by miming!
People have delighted in watching and performing in outdoor theatre for thousands of years. This archived Guardian article sums up some of the reasons why outdoor theatre is so special.
Taking your children to see some outdoor theatre could be a wonderful thing to do this summer. Here's a selection of what's on offer:
Regents Park Open Air Theatre are putting on Oliver Twist from 17th July – 5th August for ages 6+ https://openairtheatre.com/production/oliver-twist-created-for-everyone-aged-six-and-over
Much Ado About Nothing will be on at Shakespeare's Globe from Friday 14th July throughout the summer http://www.shakespearesglobe.com/theatre/whats-on/globe-theatre/much-ado-about-nothing-2017
And closer to home, The brilliant Sixteen Feet have the Jungle Book for ages 3+ locally at Walpole Park, Ealing from 18th – 21st August http://www.sixteenfeet.co.uk/portfolio/the-jungle-book/
Yourstage Drama will be concentrating the great British tradition of outdoor theatre. We are offering two weeks of holiday courses this year, with the first one running from Monday 31st July – 4th August being themed 'A Festival of Outdoor Theatre,' with a final day performance on the outdoor stage in the beautiful grounds of St Augustine's.
It will be great to see how all the children enjoy the freedom that comes from performing outside with the new friends that they will have made from participating in the course. Every new experience brings heightened confidence in a child.
