Expanding the Scope of SHRM and HR in South Africa
The process model of strategic HR change (SHRC) in multinational enterprises identifies key factors that lead to successful change outcomes. The three major stages in the SHRC process include, habitualization (conception of the need for change and new programs), objectification (transition) and sedimentation (emergence of new strategic direction and discourse)
A study was conducted to view the influence of knowledge transfer and subsidiary absorptive capacity (employees' ability and knowledge) in multinational corporations (MNCs). It found that the greater the absorptive capacity of an employee, the higher the level of knowledge transfer.
The transfer of HR practices to MNC units are influenced by, implementation, internalisation and integration. Because HR practices is a social process the outcomes are influenced by governance mechanisms used by the MNC, characteristics of the subsidiary HR system, the social relationship between the subsidiary and the MNC headquarters and the transfer approach taken by managers at headquarters.
A few factors have been identified, that can lead to a more likeliness of firms adoption SHRM in emerging economies, which include firms that are more market oriented, have competent HRM professionals and top management that put a higher priority on HRM. Other possible factors include the national environment (extent of unionization and sector characteristics, technological sophistication), legitimizing driver (use of international consultants), organisational culture, humanistic goal priorities.
It is important to look at all the factors that determine a multinational corporate strategy because it can have an influence on the approach and competitive advantage. The determents include level of abstraction (level at which HR strategy is focused example recommendations, policies, operational-level procedures), scope (Extent of HRM practices dealt within the HR strategy example focus of 2/3 key areas versus a comprehensive list of practices), business model, impact of national culture on the business model and the role of an MNE's on organisation culture in directing and controlling affiliates.
Certain SHRM practices can influence product/service, performance and financial, the rest of the paragraph shows which HR practices influence what. Training, participation, reoriented appraisals and internal career opportunities affects both product/service performance and financial performance. Employment security and job descriptions contribute uniquely to product/service performance and profit sharing contribute uniquely to financial performance.
The context for designing SHRM systems and assessing SHRM performance becomes more varied and more complicated as the scope of SHRM broaden. Therefore in order to design effective SHRM policies and practices organisational differences as well as culture and economic systems differences needs to be taken into account.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.

I can't tell you how excited I was to get approved for a copy of This Fallen Prey! I love Kelley Armstrong's Casey Duncan series! Final Siege promises action, suspense, and a second chance romance. I hope I love it! I really enjoyed Lauren Smith's A Gentleman Never Surrenders so when A Scottish Lord For Christmas popped up I couldn't resist. I read MK Schiller's A Girl by Any Other Name some time ago and loved it, so I'm hoping Kiss the Sky is good. It sounds adventurous and suspenseful, climbing K2 while trying to evade a killer.

I love Robyn Carr and her Sullivan Crossing series has a special place in my heart since it's set in a sort of backpacker's stopping place between the Continental Divide Trail and the Colorado Trail for "thru hikers". I can also add to this list with books that don't have a cover yet, but I'd kind of like to wait until my adds have covers. :)
I started up on Justified again this week and I still hate Raylen's ex-wife, but damn, its good! I watched Beautiful Creatures today and actually loved it! I read the first and second book about a million years ago (more like 2011) and didn't remember much about the book, but the movie was very atmospheric and the cast was excellent! I doubt there's a 2nd movie since this one was made in 2013. That's unfortunate.
I have been soooo busy with real life lately! I didn't have a turkey dinner until last night and my husband and I worked our asses off to make it happen. I'm still so tired, but it was fabulous and I'm high off the carbs! Thanksgiving weekend I was hard at work renovating our family's vacation home in Central California. It's been a long time coming and a lot of hard work. Glad it's done, but seriously, I'm tired! I barely made it out of my PJ's today and I've only been reading or lounging at the TV! I'm happy in my new occupation as a vegetable today. :)

our BEES
We care for approximately 600 hives of bees, all located around Eugene, Oregon. The hives are separated into small groups of 20 - 36 hives that live together in one 'bee yard'. The bees are separated like this because, just like any other animal, they need enough food to feed their local population. Eight hundred hives of bees all placed in one spot would have a hard time finding enough nectar and pollen to feed themselves during foraging season. We don't own all the yards that host our bees. In fact, most of the yards belong to friends or neighbors who want to host some bees to pollinate their garden or orchard. If you live within 30 minutes of Eugene, Oregon, outside of city limits and would like to host some Queen's Bounty bees, please let us know via our Contact Form.

108 Days
I also received two books in the mail. One was Carol Marine's fabulous new book, Daily Painting - Paint Small and Often to Become a More Creative, Productive and Sucessful Artist. What a great title! It's full of wonderful stuff to delve into; beautifully designed and of course filled with her work and I'm sure will be inspirational throughout the winter. The other book was The Journal of Eugene Delecroix, which also looks to be inspirational and fun to dip into.
Carol's book is especially timely. I've been immersed in developing my online courses and spending soooo much time on the computer getting up to speed with Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. I like working on the computer so although this project entails long concentrated days of work, I'm comfortable with it. But I don't want to lose sight of just why I'm developing these courses and how I accumulated the content over the years; many years in front of an easel making stuff. Developing these courses is demanding but feels rewarding and timely.
Last week I made a commitment to begin a project along side the online courses. I'm impulsed to create and have decided to do a piece of art every day for 108 days. One hundred and eight is a sacred number and I wish these small pieces to be a gift of commitment. They might be only a tiny thumbnail sketch, a drawing, a collage, or perhaps a finished painting or maybe photograph. It doesn't matter. I just want to stay connected to the process of art making. Thinking ahead to what it might feel like 108 days from now, it feels rich and sweet and comforting. Giving myself the latitude to have it be just about anything, no pressure, just a sense of doing outside myself.
I invited a couple of my students to join me. You can too. It would be great to have the company of fellow artists and see what we come up with, don't you think? It will be March 11th in 108 days.
6 comments:
I've been trying to complete one painting every weekend and so far so good. I'm also a High School Art teacher during the day. I've been drawn to a lot of art journals lately and was thinking I should be working in my sketchbook daily as an example to my students. With that said... I'll join you in your creating art daily for 108 days.ReplyDelete
Karen, The Adventurous Art TeacherReplies
Hi Karen,Delete
Yay!! Please pass this on to friends. Let's get something started!
I'm in! Was thinking I'd wait 'til after the holidays to start something like this, but why wait? Now is as good as anytime - especially since it can include finishing a piece, photography, thumbnails, or anything creative. I work best with a deadline, and a daily deadline is truly motivating! Thanks for the nudge Marla.ReplyDelete
Great idea, Marla! Count me in! This could not have come at a better time for me - I'm in a bit of a slump and have not posted in a while. BTW, I have followed your work since I first saw your 100 variations in The Pastel Journal back in 2009. I still refer to it when I need inspiration!ReplyDelete
.."a gift of commitment".. how wonderful Marla! I'm in too! I'm still on a high from your workshop here in Cape Breton last month, which inspired me to create a series of little value and colour exercises for myself. Committing to 108 daily paintings is the icing on the cake! Thanks Marla.ReplyDelete
I think that is great. I so admire pastel artists. you obviously inspired Karen (adventurous art teacher) who mentioned you in her last post. Keep it up.ReplyDelete

Responding to demand in the rapidly growing protein bar category, Bonk Breaker announces the company's third flavor in their Protein Bar lineup, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip. The new flavor embodies the Bonk Breaker whole foods philosophy of baking simple, high quality, real food ingredients into great tasting bars that provide both a delicious snack or meal replacement and a competitive edge. It's joins Peanut Butter & Jelly and Almond Cherry Chunk in the Protein Bar lineup.
"We've seen huge demand for our protein bar products since introducing the first two flavors, Peanut Butter & Jelly and Almond Cherry Chunk," said Bonk Breaker co-CEO and founder Jason Winn. "For the third addition to the high protein bar family we went for a classic favorite - Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip - and spent a year perfecting the flavor profile and ingredients. We were committed to maintaining a clean ingredient list of real food that tastes great, which differentiates the Bonk Breaker Protein line from other protein bars on the market."
"Our customers have been asking for a protein bar that tastes like a Bonk Breaker® and Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip is a testament to our success in the protein bar category. We've avoided that chalky, engineered, unappealing taste that's all too common in most protein bars. And we've done it with 10 simple, delicious, real food ingredients-ingredients that are easy to digest and that you recognize."
Bonk Breaker High Protein Bars serve as perfect post-workout protein replenishment-essential for aiding muscle growth and recovery-or as an ideal meal replacement for anyone on the go.
The 62 gram bar has 13 grams of protein from brown rice protein and nuts. The bars offer a 2:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein, helping to restore depleted carbohydrate glycogen stores after exercise. Like all Bonk Breaker bars, the new flavor is gluten and dairy free.
Bonk Breaker is the official nutrition bar of Ironman.

Arakeane exploits the diversity of his religious, sexual, and spiritual background to bring a unique mix of talent to the pagan community.

The Sound and the Fury
Reading good books could be the best thing to do for many people in their free time, and if you are among the book enthusiasts, stick close and read on about William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. The first thing you need to know is that this book falls in the category of Southern Gothic genre. The novel was released in 1929 and its story line follows different narrative styles, among which the stream of consciousness seems to be the most frequently used technique. The book didn't gain an immediate success, and it was the year of 1931 that made this novel successful, when the author published the sixth book in number.
The Sound and the Fury's action takes place in an imaginary place, which is the Yoknapatawpha County. The story line follows the life of the Compson family, which is part of the Southern aristocratic class. The author aims to reflect these people's thoughts and personal fears regarding the time contexts they were living. The action is set after the Civil War, when most aristocrats lost property and, implicitly, social status.
The novel is divided in four sections which present the thoughts of the three Compson brothers which are Benjamin Compson, Quentin Compson and Jason Campson; the last section brings to attention Dilsey, who is the devoted "negro" of the family and the one raising the kids. The story presents the life of the Compons following the four different voices of the characters that depict events from their personal point of view. Benjy represents the severely retarded man, Quentin is the young intellectual who attends Harvard and Jason is the farmer worker. They all are concerned with their sister's attitude and behavior, as she gives them affection when they are little, but shifts to behave promiscuously later on. Caddy gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, whom she names Quentin. As she doesn't want to reveal the identity of the baby's father, her brother Quentin tells everyone in the family that he is the father of his sister's child. Caddy marries a banker, whom she lies that he is the father of her baby, and when Herbert Head finds out that Caddy's child is not his, he divorces her and takes back his promise to Jason to hire him in the bank. Quentin comes to commit suicide after being accepted to Harvard and Caddy is disowned by the family.
To conclude with, The Sound and the Fury presents the decline of a wealthy family which tell their stories separately and including the thoughts of the author.

This teacher sheet will provide some background information on the experiment along with the answers to the pre- and post-lab questions the students will receive.
The Five-Minute Ice Cream experiment introduces students to the science behind making ice cream and how substances can change from liquid to solid. Students follow a recipe and step-by-step instructions as laid out in the Amazing (Mostly) Edible Science book to make the ice cream. The student activity sheet asks some hypothetical questions on what would happen if they leave out a step and helps students learn why certain ingredients and steps are necessary for the experiment to be successful. Depending on the class size and flavoring you would like to use, you can adjust the ingredients accordingly. The students can have fun with the shaking step and this step can be passed around to different students. The three main components of ice cream are cream, ice, and air. The ice that surrounds the cream freezes the water in the cream and the shaking introduces air. One of the pre-lab questions touches on how ice, the solid form of water, is also a crystal and that water is less dense in its solid form due to the air pockets. The shaking step breaks the ice crystals into smaller pieces and introduces air so that the cream can flow through these pockets to give ice cream its solid yet creamy texture.
What are the three main components of ice cream? Which property of the ice cream does each contribute to?
Which ingredient forms crystals? How did the crystals form?
The water in the cream freezes into ice crystals due to the ice in the larger bag.
Which state of water, liquid or solid, is less dense (meaning it can float)? Why do you think that is?
The state of water that is less dense is the solid form. This is because as water freezes into ice, air pockets form thus allowing ice to float in water.
What is the importance of adding the salt to the bag of ice?
The salt is added to the ice bag since melted salt water is colder than solid ice water. This helps to freeze the ice cream.
In your own words, explain what is happening to the ice cream ingredients as they are being shaken.
See if they can take what they have learned about this process and explain it in their own words.
What is the importance of shaking the bag? What would happen to the state of the ice cream if you left out the shaking step?
As the ice cream freezes and forms ice crystals, the shaking breaks up the crystals into smaller pieces and introduces air into the mix so the ice cream becomes more smooth than icy. If you did not shake the bag, the ice cream would not become as solid.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FQ3ih0MoEThis is the song from the new album which hits me hardest on first listen. To me it sounds like something like a missing link in between Isn't Anything and Loveless. The raw guitar is very prominent here, the riff is massive and very heavy. And at the same time the feedback and the tremolo mutates this tightly woven texture of guitar noise into a flying carpet taking off for the sweet, heavenly tunes of outer space. Where indie rock meets heavy metal meets dream pop. All this does not sound very new but it sounds like MBV in top form and that's much more than I ever expected.

the more, the deeper i listen to this, the more i am floored. this is mbv grand cru, here they have perfected their sound shaping. this may well be the best thing they have ever done. how well this (kind of cheap) siren sound works here, it really transports the listener through a wormhole into another world. and bilinda's vocals are phantastic as well of course. and the ripe tune is like an old vintage porto who has lost all the colour and most of the sugar to become pure essence. what do you think?

i haven't listened to "in another way" yet, i am just rectifying that. most of it is quite different from the classical mbv sound, not sure if it is better. it's quite exciting, that's for sure. the bagpipe sound is a little off-putting (cheesy) but still it's good.

"only tomorrow" is really striking, especially in sequence, because "she found now" sounds pretty much like a Loveless outtake to me - or continuing along in that vein, anyway. But "only tomorrow" feels like it brings back some of the isn't anything bite/snarl - in the drums, in the rhythmic movement - and the opening onto that low solo, pretty unexpected register there, graduating into that siren - the song has a lot more development than I generally associate with MBV.

some more on this truly exceptional song:
- with 6 minutes 22 seconds it's the longest track of the album- and i think it is the most varied one as well, there is so much happening here, there are at least four distinct parts.- i can't decide which is my favourite bit- either the minute in between 1'30" and 2'30" where the guitar crumbles to pieces in distortion. it unveils a beauty behind the superficial beauty of the riff, something deeper, this may sound pathetic but i think it is the beauty of destruction or maybe of metamorphosis, it's extremely powerful- or the fourth part starting at about 3'30'' where a second (in comparison to the fuzzy one almost acoustic sounding) guitar appears with a new sweet and totally existential melancholic tune, that's it, BLISS- actually in those 382 seconds you could fit a lifetime, right now if someone said i had 382 secs to live i would put my ear plugs on and hit play on this song- when i try to listen to the whole album in the original sequencing i always want to go back to song 2, i have difficulties not to skip back, that's something that didn't happen to loveless

isn't the best about this song and the rest of the album that it catapults us back in the early nineties when loveless was released and it changed our way of listening to music? there is this strong nostalgic factor when i listen to mbv. the happiness that they have finally succeeded in making another album. and an album which is on par with loveless. it doesn't sound like an album made last year, it sounds like mid nineties. and that is even greater as most of the music i love has been made around 1990. but the way they use guitar distortion on this song seems new for them. they exchanged the uniform melodic hoover in reverse gear sound for the guitar distortion which seems to blast into all directions. there is something happening on this somg which didn't happen in mbv's music before. i wrote it upthread, i think i'd call it the beauty of destruction, or maybe less dramatic, the beauty of dissolution.

lovely is not an adjective i would associate with this song. the guitar sound is abrasive, the riff is grim and relentless. bilinda butcher's elf-like singing though is a very nice contrast here. it is like heaven juxtaposed to the hell of the raw, distorted guitar.
concerning the sequencing to me it also seems strange to put the ultimate, outstanding song at the second place, it overshadows the rest of the album. loveless for me had the peak in the middle, "when you sleep". for others the closer "soon" was the climax.
actually the pf review of this track is the most interesting i have read about it yet, it does not succeed in explaining all the magic of it. the sentence about bilinda butchers's voice morphing into an ascending quasar comes close though. that is when the siren comes in in between the different song parts.

Has anyone typed about the lead guitar melody that comes in for the last half of the track, though?
It's that element of this song that really makes it special for me, in terms of how that guitar line threads through the chords that the tune has been cycling through the whole time, but puts things all slightly askew, too, somehow. Really beautiful/catchy melodic soloing.

In other words, what Alex was getting at with
"the fourth part starting at about 3'30'' where a second (in comparison to the fuzzy one almost acoustic sounding) guitar appears with a new sweet and totally existential melancholic tune, that's it, BLISS"
― BISH HOOS aka the teendrimer (Craig D.), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 01:24 (five years ago) Permalink
this is still the song i have listened to most this year, i love to hear it in the airplane on the one hour flight from berlin to frankfurt and back. how the fuzzy guitar tone turns into this extraterrestrian beauty of a melody still leaves me completely speechless. it's like a mosaic broken into millions of pieces which are brought back into their original position by a miracle and the fragmented piece is even more beautiful than the original oeuvre.
here is what kevin shields had to say about the song in an interview with pf:
In putting out the new record, do you feel like it allowed you to move forward as a musician?Definitely. It closed a loop in time; it resolved or something. "Only Tomorrow," the vocal melodies, even though I didn't record them on tape, I always had those melodies in my head, changing and shifting a bit over time. But they were something that always stayed with me. And I always had something in the back of my head to finish that. But I always thought I should record a proper new record first and stick that on there.
somehow it makes sense that this song was a tune in his head for a long time before it finally was recorded. actually i am quite astonished that he was able to transfer this amazing music from his head onto record.

The way that women's bodies
are viewed as commodities changing as the current fashion trend
dictates. The number of eating disorders, the huge diet industry
and even larger beauty industry as women fight to be something that they
can never achieve. Why are most corporate CEO's men, most
managers--why are women still not given equal pay in the land of the
free and the home of the brave? I am not saying that some Islamic
countries are not full of problems but let's not close our eyes to the
problems of the western world.
The fact that women are used in advertising is not a denigration of
women. Women are beautiful and they attract the attention. So their
image is used to attract the attention. This in no ways denigrates
women. It just proves that they are more attractive than men and that is
something to be proud of. Flowers are used for decoration and to
beautify the ambiance. Does that mean that flowers are of no value on
their own? Jewels and Beautiful
precious stones are used for adornment and attract the attention, does
this indicate that Jewels are cheap? It is a pity that in Islam
the beauty is considered to be a shame that must be concealed.
Also men try to dress up, shave and be seen nicely.
Does this lower their status? Are sloppy ugly men more respected than
well trimmed clean-shaven handsome men? Why then you believe beautiful
attractive women are not respected? This is an absurdity. There are many
women who are extremely attractive and well dressed who are in key
positions in politics, in business and in professional life as doctors,
engineers, lawyers, scientists, news anchors and producers, etc. that
demand respect by their personality. Who said a woman should hide her
beauty in a baggy cloth to be respected? This is nonsense and the
opposite is true. Women who dress up in Islamic hijab are often seen as
ignorant fanatics and potential terrorists. Who would respect a woman
who has no respect for herself? A woman who believes in Muhammad must
agree that she is deficient in intelligence as the Prophet reiterated.
She must agree that she is inferior to men as Quran says and that she
deserves to be punished and beaten by her husband. How can anyone
respect a woman who has such low self esteem?
I recall in old books usually the publisher used to
insert a page of typos that the reader had to correct before reading the
book. Once I questioned a Muslim who was defending circumcision to
explain whether in his view God has make a mistake in the design of
human genitals that he is asking people to correct it. Despite my
repeated insistence this gentleman did not answer my question. I ask you
a similar question, "Do you believe beauty is something shameful that
need to be covered? If so why God created it?
Islam's values are very twisted. Muslims despise beauty but they
praise violence against women In fact Muhammad prescribes domestic
violence as a legitimate form of conflict resolution. (See Q.4:34).
In this verse Muhammad says men are superior to women and they have the
right to scourge their wives. In Islam it is a shame for a woman to
speak with a man alone but according to Quran it is okay to attack a
non-Muslim nation capture the married women and rape them. (Q.4:3)
Islam prescribes hijab for Muslim woman and rape of non-Muslim women.
Does any sane person accept this kind of morality?
Islam prescribes hijab for Muslim woman and rape of non-Muslim women.
Does any sane person accept this kind of morality?
Do you know wherefrom the injunction of veiling in
Islam come from? It comes from the fact that Muhammad in his old age
accumulated a harem of a score of teenagers who where the most beautiful
women around. He knew that if young men lay eyes on his gorgeous wives
they would desire them. That is why he ordered them to cover themselves.
Muhammad was a narcissist jealous man. He was sick. Is it fair that
millions of women suffer under the veil because they follow a mentally
sick man? Muhammad's jealousy is clear from his possessiveness. He
prohibited his teenager wives to remarry even after his death. This is
the sign of his psychological disturbance. Muhammad was a narcissist.
As for the problem of eating disorder, please know
that the solution to this problem is not hijab.
You complained "Why are most corporate CEOs
men". Know that in the secular societies of the West, there is nothing
that stop a woman to become a CEO. As a matter of fact the number of
women in top positions is on the rise. But look at Islamic countries
where Sharia is practiced. Tell me how many women are in top positions
there? It seems that you deliberately have closed your eyes least you
see the truth and wake up from your slumber.
If all this humiliation that Muhammad has bestowed upon women is to your
liking, you have found the right religion. There is no other religion,
Philosophy or ideology today that disgraces women more than Islam. As
for me I want to create a world where men and women are equal and that
is possible only in a secular and democratic society not in a religious
Why hide this much beauty? What is so shameful about God's handiwork
that has to be covered?

FRSC partners ICPC on driver's licence issuance as FG extends expiration period to 5 years
In order to ease the problems being encountered by Nigerian motorists in the process of renewing their driving license every three years, the Corps Marshal, Federal Road Safety Corps, Mr. Boboye Oyeyemi said the Federal Government has approved the production of another National Driver's Licence that will have a five-year expiry period.
Speaking with motoring journalists in Lagos, Oyeyemi said the decision to have the five-year driving licence was taken by the Joint Tax Board at its 134th meeting held recently in Kano, which was presided over by the Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service, Babatunde Fowler.
Before now, the driving licence had a three-year terminal date after which motorists were expected to renew the document.
Oyeyemi, however, said the three-year driving licence would not be jettisoned, adding that it would exist side by side with the new one.
He said, with the new five-year driving licence, motorists would have the option of going for that or the three-year licence.
Quoting from a communiqué issued by the JTB after the meeting, the corps marshal said, "The board has approved an optional validity period for driving licence of three and five years at different costs to provide more efficient an effective service delivery to its customers."
According to him, while the three-year licence will cost N6,000, motorists are to pay N10,000 for the five-year document, stressing that the cost has not been increased.
The FRSC boss stressed that any new applicant for any of the two driving licences would have to go to an approved driving school for training to qualify for a licence to drive.
Another decision, he said, taken at the JTB meeting was the production period for vehicle number plate, which the FRSC would henceforth complete in five working days.
Oyeyemi also cleared the air on the recent court pronouncement on the speed limiter, noting that it only declared that the corps should not fix the gadget's price or market it but it could enforce the use of device in commercial vehicles.
"I've never spoken about prices and marketing since the speed limiting device campaign started. We're not involved in that. Ours is the enforcement of the device. We're only concerned about what can bring down road crashes," he said.
He expressed satisfaction with the success so far recorded with the speed limiting device and commended various transport groups and firms that had bought into the idea.
For instances, he said a number of transport companies had purchased vehicles affixed with the speed limiting device now being deployed in long distance routes.
According to him, following the directive by the National Automotive Design and Development Council to motoring firms to start fixing the speed limiter device in all the vehicles being produced in the country, many of them have started complying.
Meanwhile, in its determination to restore sanity in the issuance of the National Driver's Licence and make the operation corrupt-free, the FRSC has announced its readiness to partner the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, (ICPC).
The FRSC Corps Marshal made this known when he paid a visit to the ICPC Headquarters Abuja.
The Chairman of ICPC, Ekpo Nta described FRSC as an exemplary organisation whose activities have impacted positively on the image of the country, stating that if there was any organisation in the country that he would recommend for international accolade for what is good in Nigeria, it would be the FRSC.
Nta commended the Corps for its efforts in mobilising members of the public for road safety campaign through its Special Marshal initiative and enjoined all patriotic Nigerians to join in the task of making the nation's roads safer.
On the restoration of sanity in the issuance of the driver's licence, the ICPC Chairman gave kudos to the FRSC for its initiative in reforming the licensing system of the country, pointing out that with its reciprocity status, it would be an embarrassment to the country if the driver's licences issued in the country and presented to foreign countries are found to be fake.
This, he said, makes it imperative that relevant stakeholders should work together to ensure that the integrity of the system is protected and those that engage in parallel production or tout in the documents are identified and punished accordingly.
"Nigerian Driver's licence has reciprocal status with other foreign countries. It will therefore, embarrass the country, if fake licences are allowed to be presented to reciprocal countries as the genuine licences produced in the country," he stated.
"The Driver's licence is also an identity document that many people rely on to transact business. We would therefore, work with the FRSC to ensure that those that engage in parallel production or tout in the documents are identified and punished," he further stated.
In his remarks, the Corps Marshal thanked the Chairman of the ICPC for his interest in matters of road safety as demonstrated by his long standing association with the FRSC as a member of the Special Marshal.
He further stated that he decided to visit the ICPC in order to share ideas of road safety with the Management of the Commission and to solicit the support of the Commission in ensuring the restoration of sanity in the issuance of the licensing system of the country.
The Corps Marshal pointed out that he is determined to leave a legacy of corrupt-free organisation for the Corps and would work hard to sustain its positive image through various policies and programmes including the inauguration of the FRSC Antic-Corruption Committee.
Oyeyemi expressed dismay at the practice of some people who continue to patronise touts or rely on third party to obtain fake licences at ridiculously high prices against the N6,350 that has been set by the Joint Tax Board (JTB) for the acquisition of the licences.
Calling on the ICPC to collaborate with the FRSC in sanitising the system by detecting the fraudsters and bringing them to book, Oyeyemi also solicited the support of the ICPC in monitoring the operations of his men on patrol.
According to him, as an organisation that is built on integrity, FRSC does not condone any form of corrupt practice and any of his men found to be engaged in act of corruption would not be given cover.
The Corps Marshal assured the ICPC Chairman that the doors of the FRSC will remain open for the success of the partnership including the utilisation of the platforms of its Academy and Training School to build the capacity of the staff of the two agencies in order for them to operate on the same level for the restoration of sanity in the operations of the Corps and the licensing system of the country.

Sanga gets something to cheer about, finally
With the Maximum City and its outskirts, including what was originally planned to be the new business district, waking to an overcast skies, most fans in Mumbai were in a picnic mood. Amol Karhadkar reports. Live score | Local tunescricket Updated: May 17, 2011 01:31 IST
Hindustan Times
With the Maximum City and its outskirts, including what was originally planned to be the new business district, waking to an overcast skies, most fans in Mumbai were in a picnic mood.
However, the Pune Warriors India appeared in no mood for a happy outing. In fact, the gloomy surroundings seemed to have cast a shadow on their performance in the last two matches and they were back to square one.
A six-wicket defeat to the Deccan Chargers meant the Warriors, who had registered back-to-back victories after suffering seven humiliating losses before Monday's game, would join the Chargers, Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals with no more hopes of making it to the four-team play-offs, with two league matches remaining.
With the overcast conditions, it wasn't a surprise that Kumar Sangakkara chose to bowl on a surface at the Dr DY Patil Sports Stadium that offered a lot to the seamers in the earlier five matches. The Warriors, on the other hand, had replaced left-arm pacer Shrikant Wagh with seasoned domestic batsman Mithun Manhas, extending their already lengthy batting line-up.
However, the inclusion of an extra specialist batsman did not help the Warriors' cause as all their batsmen tried extravagant shots, perhaps hoping that the one coming after him will do the job. The only genuine dismissal among the Warriors batsman was that of Manhas, who was bowled off the first ball he faced - a googly by Amit Mishra that pitched outside off and crashed into the middle stump.
Had it not been for Mitchell Marsh's lusty blows towards the end, the Warriors would have struggled to cross the 120-run mark. However, a total of 136 for nine was always going to be difficult to defend. And considering the fact that they were a bowler short, early wickets were a must for the Warriors to stay alive in the tournament.
But that wasn't to be. Shikhar Dhawan and Sunny Sohal's 67-run partnership for the opening wicket meant that the Chargers were going to emerge as the spoilers for the newbies.
Even though Sangakkara couldn't stay on till the winning run was scored, the victory came as a perfect farewell gift from the Chargers' skipper to the team owners and from the team to their skipper, who will join Sri Lanka in England.

No. 15 The Cherry Orchard
Visited on 3/3/11. The Cherry Orchard is named after Russian playright Anton Chekov's famous tragedy, which he wrote while staying here in the summer of 1896. Not really. I guess it's probably called the Cherry Orchard because it used to be next to a Cherry Orchard. Now it isn't. Anyhow, this famous local pub in many ways still represents what a proper pub should aspire to. Yes, it does food but only early in the day. At night it's the sole preserve of beer drinkers and is still a focal point of the community. Three ales are normally available (Theakston's bitter, Deuchar's IPA and a guest) and whilst they are sometimes of variable quality, on this particular evening all three were spot on. It's a shame the mild has recently been moved from cask to keg though. All in all, this is a great pub - the only downside being the faint whiff of decay in the air due to the high average age of the regulars.

All of the rabbis of Madison, Wisconsin's liberal Jewish movements (Reform, Reconstructionist, Conservative) signed on to the letter below.
Dear Rabbinic Colleagues and Friends,
Many of you have been watching what is going on in our beloved city of Madison, Wisconsin. As rabbis who live and work in Madison, we wanted to share with you some reflections on recent events.
This is an extraordinary time in Madison. We have never seen anything like it. The sheer number of people who have come to protest, testify, or attend vigils at the State Capitol is unbelievable. Through sunshine and freezing rain, we have been shocked at how long people have sustained this engagement. The overwhelming number of protesters has been respectful, peaceful, and well, downright friendly (this is the Midwest, after all!). The energy inside the Capitol rotunda is astounding. It has brought tears to our eyes to watch young people become so passionate about these issues, even sleeping there throughout the night. We have heard some grumbling about the school closures, but there could be no better civics lesson than watching strangers – young and old, workers and professors, from small towns and big cities, all holding hands all around the perimeter of the Capitol and chanting, "This is what democracy looks like."
We have been very focused on the local level, but we understand that this is a national issue. The stakes are very high. They are so high because our very communities are at risk. Contrary to many news reports, this is not about greedy labor unions. If Governor Walker's bill passes, it will destroy local economies throughout the state – and drastically reduce the quality of our public schools, universities, nursing homes, child care centers, and hospitals. Through its devastating changes to Medicaid it will jeopardize the health and well-being of the mentally ill, disabled, elderly, and poor. This will affect each of us personally and professionally, and it will spread to other states as well. Sadly, our children's future is on the line, and Governor Walker has tried to prevent any public discussion or debate on these issues.
As rabbis we find this an affront to our values – the Jewish mandate to protect workers, as well as the poor and needy among us. It is an affront to our deep value for education, for supporting women's rights, and for creating sustainable communities. And it is an affront to our belief that these issues should be debated openly and fairly under public scrutiny.
We humbly share the attached resources that we have compiled in the hopes that we can renew our commitment to social justice for all members of our society. What is happening in Wisconsin will likely spread to other states, and we hope that you will discuss these issues in your communities.
The organization that has been coordinating the interfaith religious response in Madison is the Interfaith Coalition for Worker Justice of South Central Wisconsin. Their members are a combination of grassroots activists, clergy, laity, congregations, community organizations, and labor unions. If you would like to support their work, please visit http://www.workerjustice.org. The issue of cuts to health care coverage for low income Wisconsin residents is also at stake. To read more about this or to support these efforts, please visit Save Badger Care, http://www.savebadgercare.org.

The Pros and Cons of Partnerships
Partnerships allow you a variety of options to obtain initial funding, flexibility of taxation purposes and partnership structures to fit your unique circumstances. There are drawbacks, however. Certain partnership structures result in the potential for personal liability, partnerships may be terminated upon death or the departure of a partner, and it may be difficult to transfer ownership.
Due to the wide range of partnerships that could be formed, we cannot provide one flat rate. For example, a basic partnership with two individuals will have a significantly different cost than a limited partnership with three hundred partners. Once we determine what your goal is, we will quote you a fee.
Should you require additional services once your partnership is formed, Vandenack Weaver will provide a quote prior to starting any work. Additional services could include Minute Books, Registration of Trade Name, Registration of Trademark, Company Policies and Procedures, and many others.

San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District (APCD)
Grants to San Luis Obispo County, California school districts to replace and retrofit old, high-emitting school buses. Funding is intended to reduce emissions from public school buses by switching to new, low-emitting buses, or by retrofitting them with diesel emission control systems. Additionally, funding may be used for natural gas fuel tank replacements and refueling infrastructure maintenance.
Each school district that completes the application process and has eligible buses will be ranked in accordance with the following criteria:
1. First priority will be given to retrofit projects. These projects are most cost-effective making the available funding dollars go further.
2. Once all retrofit projects have been funded, then the oldest buses (1993 and older) and dirtiest buses (two stroke engines) will be selected for replacement.
3. The high usage buses will also be given priority.
4. Special consideration will also be given to districts interested in utilizing alternative fuel buses or are currently utilizing alternative fuel buses and need funding for CNG tank replacement or infrastructure upgrades.
GrantWatch ID#: 136935
Bus Replacement: Up to $165,000 ($140,000 LESBP cap + $25,000 AB 923 match) for the cost of the new replacement school bus. The cost cap is applicable to the cost of the replacement school bus only, including tax. Funding for infrastructure to support alternative fueled and hybrid-electric school buses are available in addition to the cost cap.
Bus Retrofit: Each bus may be eligible for up to $20,000 to cover the cost of the retrofit, necessary data logging and installation. Within the $20,000 retrofit funding cap funding may be allocated for infrastructure (such as additional electrical outlets) needed to accommodate active retrofit devices. This funding is separate from the $2,500 allocation for diesel particulate filter maintenance.
Fuel Tank Replacement: Each bus may be eligible for up to $20,000.
Funding to pay for improvements of deteriorating compressed natural gas fueling dispensers operated by public school districts may only request one-time funding amounts not to exceed $500 per dispenser.
The term of the Grant Agreement will be five (5) years from the date that the new school bus or other grant-funded equipment is put into service.
Public school districts that own their ow buses are eligible to receive funding; this also includes Joint Power Authorities (JPAs) formed by several public school districts where the JPA holds ownership of the school buses.
School transportation contractors are not eligible to apply for school bus replacement funding. Also, school buses purchased by non-profit agencies, private schools, and other private companies are not eligible for funding.
Eligibility for bus replacement:

Buy an LG, They Said; They're Great, They Said.
This is the story of a very-stressed-out lady who bought a new and relatively expensive front-loading LG washing machine and dryer to replace those that drowned in Katrina (she also bought the pedestals to raise them a foot off the ground, for obvious reasons). The lady moved back into her half-rebuilt house at the beginning of August. She was happy with her new LG washer: it was quiet, it had pretty lights and bells (no whistles, just bells), and it washed the clothes nicely.
Two weeks later, it quit working.
The lady—her stress level rising—calls LG. They say they'll send a repairman.
They don't.
The lady calls LG again and gets the local number for the repairman. But all she can get is his answering machine. Stress level rising ever higher, she makes numerous more calls to LG. Finally, five days later, the repairman calls. He does not come out to actually LOOK at the machine, but simply makes his diagnosis over the phone and says, "I'll have to order a part." "And when will that be in?" "I'll call you."
He does not call.
To cut a boring story short, it seems LG won't send parts to the repairman because he hasn't paid for past parts. The repairman says he won't pay for past parts because LG hasn't paid him for past warranty work. Yo! People! If you don't like each other, get a divorce. But fix my #@$% washing machine!
Flash forward to the one-year anniversary of Katrina. The lady— stress level ever rising—is drowning in dirty laundry (which is admittedly better than drowning in dirty water). Not only does she have the clothes, towels, and sheets from the past two and a half weeks, but she would really like to be washing all the bedding, towels, clothes, etc. that survived the hurricane and can't be used or put away until cleaned. Her last telephone call—when she burst into tears—seems to have stirred someone to action. The repairman (with the part!) arrives. He replaces the control panel. (Repairman: "It's sure hot in here." Lady: "That's because the new air conditioner is broken." Repairman: "Want we should fix the AC? We do AC work too." Lady: "That's OK; just fix the washer.")
The new part is installed. The repairman quickly flips through the programs; bells and lights flash. The repairman leaves. The lady selects a load of wash from the numerous piles littering the house. She turns on the washer and goes to sit back at her computer (with a portable fan—see reference to air conditioner above). Ten minutes later, the washing machine's bells and lights start flashing and ringing.
And it quits working.

It seems like it's impossible to get competent help these days, or even to buy parts that work. We bought Lana a computer desk from Wal-mart last night, got it home only to find that one of the boards was cracked in two. We returned it for another, and got this one almost together before we found that the holes for the drawers were machined wrong. It's usuable so we're keeping it. I don't have the energy for anything else.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
