So, I have been invited to join Perpetua as she and other bloggers take on some of the more controversial issues of parenting in Controversundays. I have always been more apt to shy away from conflict rather than stepping up to the plate, even when I feel strongly about something. This is because I am a very delicate flower. But, becoming a mother has emboldened me, forced me to come to terms with my flaws, and try to become a better person. You could argue that I shouldn't have needed to give birth to a child before trying to become a better person, but DON'T! Lest I wilt. Remember? Delicate flower. Get it? Okay, moving on.
This week's topic is on other people's children. She left it pretty open, so I'm going to focus on discipline. What is our role? Do we discipline them? If so, where is the line? I love this topic because, as someone who has extensive experience caring for other people's children, it has come up A LOT.
I got a job at a private school as a teacher's aide when I was eighteen. I had always dreamed of working with kids, especially little kids, so I was really excited. I had visions of running reading groups, passing out snack (because in elementary school, you eat "snack". Not "snacks" or even "a snack". Just "snack"). These dreams would eventually come true. But, part of my job description also included yard duty. And, as soon as they handed me that walkie-talkie and whistle? I was TOTALLY drunk with power. Oh, how I loved bossing those kids around! I became a total hard-ass, and it was not uncommon to find at least half a dozen timed-out kids pouting and scowling in my general direction when you visited the playground under my jurisdiction. Don't, however, assume that I was some kind of nursery school nazi. The kids loved me. I played with them, made silly jokes, fixed their ponytails, and held their little hands on the way to the nurse's office for Band-Aids. But, when they misbehaved, I was a force to be reckoned with.
I've always been a bit of a stickler for rules. I rarely break them myself, (a personality trait which has earned me much scorn and derision from my friends)so it is not surprising that I have always had pretty strong opinions about how kids should be disciplined. And worse, I was also sure that if I were in charge, those kids screaming in the toy store or throwing food at the restaurant would be in check so fast, it would make their bratty heads spin. And, even though I'm not there yet, having Charlotte has definitely made me more sympathetic. She may not be old enough to talk back or defy me, but I know it's coming. There were so many opinions I had about parenting that I recanted upon becoming a parent myself, and I think that has made me more cautious about judging. Of course, there are exceptions: there are many things I see that are just WRONG, and although I have never been the variety of person who actually approaches people, it is difficult to refrain when I see parents with an utter disregard for the safety and health of their children (and others).
Having said all that, I do think there is something to be said for what I will call "community parenting". Did I make that up? Or is that a thing? What I mean by this is that if I send Charlotte to play at a friend's house, I want her to fear that child's mother as much as she fears me. Did I say "fear"? LOVE! I meant "love"! I want her to respect other adults and to know that there are consequences for her behavior WHEREVER she goes. So, that means Grandma can and should put her in a time out. Her aunts and babysitters should feel free to take a toy away from her if she isn't sharing it, and so on. Sure, there is a limit to what I expect others to enforce. After all, it is mine and Chris's job to discipline her, primarily. But, I am also a big believer that anyone who is a part of her life will influence her, and I want it to be for the good. It won't always be easy to see others be stern with her; I have already been known to bristle at the suggestion that Charlotte "needs to learn" this or that. I know as much as I want to guide her with a firm hand, I also LOVE to indulge her. And so will everyone else. Just as long as she doesn't become a tyrant the second she leaves our house, I'll be happy.
I think maybe we all get carried away with the not judging, not butting in thing, and are too scared to speak up when other people's kids are terrorizing our homes, our kids, our pets, our sanity. When I was child-free, I adored parents who were conscious of what their kids touched, said, or asked for, and gently reminded them to behave, and it was even more refreshing when they didn't mind me chiming in with an admonition for their kids if something escaped their radar. Watching my nieces has always been a pleasure because they are delightful girls (most of the time), but also because my brother and sister-in-law encourage the adults in their children's lives to aid in the discipline. And so when my middle niece was in her terrible two's and heaving herself onto the floor amidst shrieking and violent kicking because I would not let her "make dishes" (a term she used to describe her version of washing all the plastic dishes in the sink) for another five minutes, I had recourse to put her in her room until she calmed down, rather than feeling pressured to indulge her when she looked seriously into my eyes and said through sobs, "I. WANT. TO. MAKE. DISHES!". And, I truly believe these girls are as polite and respectful as they are because of this shrewd move on their parents' part.
So, that's my take on it. Don't go grabbing candy bars out of a stranger's hand just as they are about to appease their bratty child with it. Don't yell at a mom who is choosing to ignore her child's screaming so as not to give in to his whim (Yes, it is a public place. But if she buys him that toy, he'll be encouraged to do even worse next time, so suck it up and be glad she is at least TRYING not to raise a future delinquent). But, if your friend's kids are walking on your couch, tell them to get off! And if their mom doesn't like it, too bad. It's your house. Your rules.

I am nothing if not astute.
It has been said, 'that Jon, he's astute'. It is among the kinder things that I have been called.
I have noticed that Christmas is almost upon us and this has put me in mind to write a Christmas-related story. But what type of story should I write? It would seem that there should be snow, and children, perhaps some presents, or a snowman. How about a snowman with presents? Should Father Christmas feature, or Santa? Should the story be saccharine sweet, or bitter with a surprisingly upbeat ending?
I thought about famous Christmas stories and two immediately sprang to mind. The Snowman, by Raymond Briggs: a classic of children's literature, a firm favourite in many people's minds. Or is it? Do people remember the book, or the animated film? I do not believe that it matters; at the heart of both lies the same story and that is what has captured readers' imaginations for the last 35 years.
The second is a little older. A Christmas Carol, by – well, you know who it's by. Published in 1843, it had a significant head start over The Snowman, although it is worth noting that The Muppet Christmas Carol did not arrive until 1992, some 10 years after the animated film of The Snowman. Draw your own conclusions from that.
The Snowman is uplifting, with a sombre ending. A Christmas Carol is a darker tale, with redemption in the final pages. Two different approaches to telling a Christmas story, but both have darkness and light. Why is it that we like our Christmas time to be tinged with a little darkness, something a little downbeat? Is this, I wonder, what I should be aiming for with my Christmas story?
And what of the other tales? There will be a long list, although not as long as the one Father Christmas holds in his hand on Christmas Eve – who has been good and who has been bad? – and this list will hold all of the Christmas stories that I haven't read, or I have read and forgotten. I should probably go back and read them as well. But there is no time – there is never enough time – and so I should probably just get on with writing my story.
But what are your favourite Christmas stories? Remembered from childhood or discovered as a grown-up, which are the tales that you come back to year after year?

College and Degree: Iowa State University, Undergraduate Degree in Finance in 2002; Miami University (OH), Graduate Degree in Sport Studies in 2005.
Work Experience: 1 year at Accenture, a world-wide consulting firm; 11 years at Miami University (OH), Volunteer Hockey Coach, Assistant Director of Corporate Relations, Assistant Athletic Director for Administration, Associate Athletic Director for External Relations, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Finance and Administration.
One Way to Improve College Hockey: Grow the number of institutions sponsoring Division-I hockey.
The Toughest Part of My Job: I have some of my most challenging days when we need to review a case for possible supplemental discipline and then ultimately suspending the player. We want to do what's right for player safety and the integrity of the game but going through the process and making a decision can be very difficult.
Favorite Hockey Memories: Attending two Frozen Fours with Miami and being a part of a National Championship game; participating in the boys' state high school hockey tournament.
In Five Words or Less, Minnesota Hockey Culture Is: Best Community-Based Model in the U.S. (Editor's note: that's seven words but we'll let it slide).

One Way to Improve College Hockey: Shorten the entire men's college hockey season, but allow all institutions to play games during the holiday breaks. With the length of the season—not the number of games, but months—we run the risk of appearing lost at times with all the other sporting activities that college hockey is competing against for fan, sponsor and media interest.
The Toughest Part of My Job: Making decisions on most every facet of our changing and growing business, while balancing the needs of many different stakeholders.
Favorite Hockey Memories: Becoming WCHA Commissioner with my father, Norb, in attendance. He passed away in May of 2015 at the age of 95, but was present for the press conference on April 8, 2014. Also the Minnesota Wild-Mighty Ducks playoff series in 2003 as I had worked for both teams and working with the late and legendary head coach Herb Brooks at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

LOS ANGELES — The difference in Ben Johnson is as plain as the mouth on his face.
During the years when his speed left the world gaping as he climbed to the top of Mt. Olympus, Johnson nearly always scowled or frowned in public. He seemed perpetually suspicious and angry, carrying a chip as big as Carl Lewis on his shoulder, allowing himself to be cornered by a world he could otherwise outrun.

Home :: Fire Alarm Systems :: Combined Sounder/Beacons
It is a good idea to fit both auditory and visual methods of raising the alarm in an emergency. That way, you haven't got to worry about the warning going unnoticed, regardless of what work everyone is carrying out.
But the combined sounder and beacons units are an effective method for doing this. As both parts are incorporated into one device, they only need one installation point, reducing the cost and time of fitted them. Plus, they'll look a lot less obtrusive as well.
In situations like factories, where noise levels are high and it is commonplace to head ear protection, these are a great answer. Their bright beacons will mean they always get seen, and loud sounder, with volume and tone control, should have no difficulty being heard either.
|Would you like to have one of our certified BAFE service technicians visit your premises or site to commission your new fire extinguishers for the Fire Regulations?
The cost to visit is £25.97 + vat (£31.16 inc vat) with each extinguisher at £6.00 + vat (£7.20 inc vat).
Optionally, the cost to commission and install (fix to the wall) is £13.00 + vat (£15.60 inc vat). Our technician will place them on stands at no charge if you have purchased these
Please note a £10 + vat (£12 inc vat) surcharge will be added for all London postcodes

Reframing the messages you tell yourself may improve your success rate.
"I feel fat everyday."
I hear this a lot when I first start working with clients. Truthfully, this is where a lot of women hang out, starting their days by opening up their closets only to stare at clothes that make them feel less than satisfied with themselves — because every pair of pants or blouse is uncomfortable to wear and reminds them that they are not where they want to be:
I want to confident in my body and my clothes. I want to feel at peace and alive. But I can't seem to make it more than one day on my eating plan. I know WHAT I need to do, I just seem to refuse to do it. And I don't know why. More than anything, I want to be motivated to take care of myself, to be happy to choose healthy foods, and for it to be easy to say no to a fourth (and third and second) helping.
On the surface it seems so simple, right? Eat these foods, do these workouts, and bingo, you get the body you see in the magazines and The Biggest Loser "after" show. Everybody else seems to be able to do it, so why can't you?
When you hit this wall of resistance around making the healthy choices that are going to take you in the direction of what you crave for your body and your life, it can feel hopeless, overwhelming, and lonely.
I know because I have been there. I used to feel this exact same way.
I've worn jeans that are two sizes too small because I didn't want to buy the bigger size, even though they cut into my legs and it was painful to sit. At the end of every day, I couldn't WAIT to get out of my jeans and into my sweatpants so I could breathe!
I remember crying on the phone to my college boyfriend because I just couldn't figure out why I was self-sabotaging every diet I went on. (Side note, now THAT'S a fun conversation for a 20-year-old guy). As you might guess, he was clueless on what to say to "fix it" on that topic!
So why is it so difficult to get on track with eating healthy and get motivated to work out? Furthermore, why is it so difficult to stay on track once you get going?
The truth is, there are two reasons.
Number one: Temptation is everywhere, and it's easy to get stuck in the mindset that eating healthy and working out sucks because it's hard and uncomfortable.
Turn on the TV and 90 percent of the food-related commercials are for pepperoni pizza with cheese so gooey it stretches across the screen and charbroiled burgers that look so amazing you can practically smell them.
Of course you are going to crave this stuff: We are programmed to!
Number two: You're disconnected from YOU. You have a hardline to what your boss, your spouse, your kids, your family, the media say — what evvvverybody else is telling you that you should be doing. But you rarely check in and/or listen to the wisdom that comes from within.
When you turn off the TV, close the magazine, turn down the volume on everybody else's opinions, and start spending more time focused on taking care of yourself and your needs, those cravings begin to wane.
When you stop finishing all of your self-care wish-list sentences with "but I don't have time because [EXCUSE GOES HERE]," then you open yourself up to allowing the healthier habits, ideas, and inspiration in.
Eating healthy and working out doesn't have to be a chore. It's a chore because that's how you've viewed it up until now.
Combine that with the stress you are under and the fact that food is an easy thing to reach for when you want fast comfort, and it's no wonder that you have a hard time sticking to any type of healthy plan.
So here is one simple thing you can start doing right now to get out of your rut and get pointed in the direction of achieving the goals you are after:
For more on how changing your mindset can improve success rate, read "Mindset"
Take 5 deep breaths, and then reframe. Remind yourself that things are not as bad as they seem. Remind yourself that you are actually pretty healthy. You have a lot of positive things going for you in your life. Make a list of those things.
Reframe your relationship with healthy food. You don't have to eat spinach salads with bland dressing or grilled chicken and steamed broccoli in order to be healthy. Choose meal options that are nourishing and tasty, too.
I am a big fan of ranch dressing, so my go to favorite dressing is Bolthouse Farms Ranch. No, not every ingredient in it is a whole food, and yeah, it comes in a bottle. But I love it and I really look forward to eating salads with my Bolthouse Ranch.
Reframe your relationship with exercise. Let it be easy. The true benefit of exercise is that it gets you breathing. Your cells need oxygen and when you're sitting at the office all day, you're probably breathing pretty shallowly. So rather than forcing yourself to do exercise that you hate, why not just get up and move in ways that make you feel good in your body? Focus on breathing deeply as you do it.
Try a new workout class. Go for a girl-talk-walk with a good friend to catch up, rather than chatting over drinks or dinner (hit the gym and talk on the treadmill if it's too cold to do this outside).
Make your healthy lifestyle fit you. Don't think you have to change everything overnight. Take one baby step today and then another tomorrow until one day you wake up and instead of your first thought being, "I feel fat," it's instead, "I feel pretty darn good."
Awareness is the first step. You see your unhealthy habits clear as day. Yeah, you may be struggling with what to do about it, but so what? You're aware. Give yourself a big hug because you ARE on the right track.
Lots of people go their whole lives never even questioning what they are doing or why. You are tuning in to both, and you're ready.
We don't make the decision to change until it's more uncomfortable to continue doing what we're doing than it is to do something different. You're uncomfortable. That's a good thing. Use that momentum to your benefit.
If this resonates with you and you want more, check out my free video series, The Secret to ROCKIN' Your Dream Body For Life, where I take you by the hand and show you my process for going from "diet living" to real living while getting the body of your dreams.

How we behave and work is heavily influenced by the workspace we occupy. It plays a major role in our creative performance and psychological well-being. Because we may spend years working by the same desk in same room, it's only logical to optimize and organize that space as much as humanly possible. In workspace organization even making the decision of organizing your workspace is a giant step towards a healthy and productive lifestyle.
When designing your own workspace favor rounded and curved furniture over straight-edged and sharp. This kind of environment is linked with positive emotion, which in turn leads to productivity and creativity. This, also, allows you to move freely around the office, achieving maximum efficiency.
One of the simplest ways to boost up creativity is choosing the correct lighting scheme and color for your office. It is ideal to install a lighting system that has changeable brightness and hues, because different light levels and colors have different psychological effects on our minds. Matching light with the type of work really helps with focusing on a given task. Exposing your eyes to green and blue hues has an effect of boosting your work performance. Exposure to red boosts performance on tasks that require focus and attention to detail. High light levels are linked with evaluative thinking, while dimmer environments boost your creativity because it encourages freedom. It is also said that purple is closely tied with procrastination.
Another factor that plays a role in workplace efficiency is the ceiling height. High ceilings generate a feeling of freedom and abstract thinking. This, of course, is something not as easily influenced as other interior design elements. Speaking of preset design elements, the view plays a big role too. A gaze into nature can fill your brain with creative juices, but that's not a luxury everyone can afford. Don't worry, if you can't get a majestic view, pick an office that has the shortest stroll to the park.
It's a good idea to decorate your workspace with some green life. Add some green to the office with small plants and shrubbery. It is said that plants have a subliminal effect of reducing stress levels (let's be honest, the workplace isn't always the most stress-free place in the world).
Childish and messy look for creative thinking
If you ever saw a major IT company's workspace online, you can probably recall a playful theme throughout the interior design of the space. Bookcases, shelves and tables scatter around, achieving a messy look, seemingly on purpose. That's because it is on purpose. A playful setting can wake up our inner child and force us to come up with solution by thinking outside of the box. These designs tend to be colorful with the material of choice oftentimes being plastic. This is because plastic can bend, simulating a mind that bends to complete a difficult task or puzzle.
Based on these facts, it's pretty obvious that our work productivity is deeply tied in with our surroundings. So encourage yourself to think outside the box and enjoy a truly stress free work environment.

Kishore Gupta was far & away the most professional & thoughtful guide we had during our trip to India. From responsiveness to email inquiries to arranging a driver to scheduling a tour plan that both suited our schedules and covered all our requested sites, no detail was overlooked for our stay. Mr. Gupta even kindly waited in line in the early morning hours to pick up our tickets to the Taj Mahal, ensuring that we both got the choicest entrance time *and* could sleep a bit longer–such a treat! His knowledge of the tourist sites was deep & insightful, and all of our questions were answered with considerate patience. I cannot recommend his services enough. Thank you for an unforgettable stay in Agra!
We were in Agra earlier this month and are so thankful we were able to book Kishore as our guide! He arranged a car and driver for us and set our 2-day itinerary from train pick-up to drop-off. It was very easy and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We saw the main sites without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Kishore is great about providing enough info that you appreciate a place but not so much that you don't get to actually see the site (a problem we've had other places). Oh, and he's very good about getting tickets so you don't have to stand in huge lines. 5 stars 🙂

The thief
This is the list so far:
* 1 kg packet of sultanas
* tub of apricot jam
* 1/4 packet of grated cheese
* the sugar bowl
So far, he only takes one thing at a time. And none of these items have been eaten, just stockpiled. Does he know something I don't?

He could be attempting Orange Cream Pancakes (http://www.blogenium.com/2012/05/20/how-to-prepare-orange-cream-pancakes/) and be slightly confused about the different types of cheese. Is he allowed a hotplate in his room?

Didn't think of that. I've just rushed to check that our electric frypan is still in the cupboard. So far so good.

It's getting worse. This morning he took a container of cook popcorn, a packet of dried apricots and a packet of prunes. All at once. Maybe he's missing some fibre in his diet?

Have you confronted him? What did he say?
- June 23, 2012 at 8:31 PM
- Deb said...
He giggles. Very cute. But it's worn off on his mum and his dad. So this afternoon when the sugar bowl went missing again there were some firm words and a reminder to the behind.

Well, at least he didn't draw in library books...
... three days in a row!?!?!

One of the most exciting areas of make believe computing is the mythical tablet PC. Apple has been rumored to be developing a tablet PC whilst Microsoft is supposedly developing a Tablet/booklet PC.
Now OLPC, the project that designs low cost computers for kids in developing companies, has stepped into the arena not once but twice. First with a Booklet style, dual screen, tablet PC and now, after canning that idea, an ultra thin tablet screen with thumb/finger ring grip that supposedly will retail for around US$75.00 (pictured). The device is also rumored to include a digital camera on the back
What caught my eye about this device is the image on the right. Nothing particularly revolutionary here but for some reason I'd never considered a touch screen, full size, keyboard before. It's not a new idea by any means and I have seen it on other touch screen devices (like mobile phones) - just never linked the idea to tablet PC computing.
The concept gives me some confidence that maybe tablet PC's will catch on since, those who like their keyboards, can still have that interface option without having to attach an actual keyboard to the device. That is, assuming anyone other than Amazon and their Kindle device, actually releases something that looks like a tablet PC.
The only other thing that struck me about OLPC's concept images is that their device looks way too thin. It's described as being about the thickness of an Apple iPhone but I'm not convinced it would stand up to daily mobile use.
This is all moot though. It seems anyone can create a few concept images and announce a proposed tablet PC for release err... some time in the future.
Hopefully someone will go to the next level soon and actually release something. In the meantime why not enjoy a few more concept images of OLPC's device below.

The two preeminent super PACs supporting Dr. Ben Carson's 2016 campaign are coming together.
In a joint announcement, Our Children's Future PAC (OCF) and the 2016 Committee, the two largest outside groups backing Carson, said they are joining forces to back the former neurosurgeon.
"This coordination between The 2016 Committee and Our Children's Future will play a key role in promoting Dr. Carson's final run to the White House," OCF head Jeff Reeter said in a statement. "With the increased visibility and energy provided by Our Children's Future, The 2016 Committee's already powerful militia will grow into an extremely strong army for Dr. Carson's advancement."
The announcement comes the same morning as a new Quinnipiac poll shows Carson now leading in with 28 percent support over Donald Trump's 20 percent, who had been leading in the Hawkeye State since July. Carson is second in the Washington Examiner's latest presidential power rankings.
While Carson's campaign itself has become a fundraising dynamo in recent months, his super PACs have not reached the fundraising stratosphere of Jeb Bush's Right To Rise PAC and groups supporting Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com


text: [Federal Register Volume 64, Number 18 (Thursday, January 28, 1999)] [Notices] [Pages 4488-4490] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-2020] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Highway Administration National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Ocular-based Measures of Driver Alertness; Notice of Conference and Request for Submissions AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT. ACTION: Notice of conference and request for submissions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This notice is both an invitation to participate in a conference addressing ocular-based measures of driver alertness and a request for submissions to be presented/demonstrated at the conference. The conference is being sponsored by the FHWA's Office of Motor Carriers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Office of Vehicle Safety Research (formerly, the Office of Crash Avoidance). The purpose of the conference is to (1) share recent FHWA/NHTSA findings regarding the validity of eye-based measures of driver alertness, (2) share recent FHWA and NHTSA technology developments in this area, (3) identify and provide information about other Research and Technology (R&T) studies relevant to in-vehicle alertness monitoring, (4) review the overall state-of-the-art of in- vehicle alertness monitoring, (5) review concepts for feedback of alertness information to drivers and other proposed features of the driver-vehicle interface, and (6) review concepts for the successful and user-acceptable introduction of in-vehicle alertness monitoring systems to commercial motor carrier fleets. DATES: The conference will be held on April 26-27, 1999. Each day's session will begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Papers and technology demonstration proposals/abstracts must be received on or before March 1, 1999. ADDRESSES: The conference will be held at the Hyatt-Dulles Hotel, 2300 Dulles Corner Boulevard, Herndon, Virginia. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For conference information and to obtain [[Page 4489]] registration materials, contact Ms. Annette Smith, Portfolio Management Group, Ltd., 8513 Ashwood Drive, Capitol Heights, MD 20743; Telephone: (301) 499-4936; FAX: (301) 499-1405; E-mail: [email protected]. Paper and technology demonstration proposals should be submitted to Robert J. Carroll, Office of Motor Carrier Research and Standards (HCS-30), Federal Highway Administration, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590; Telephone: (202) 366-9109; FAX: (202) 366-8842; E-mail: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: From 1997-1998, the Intelligent Transportation Systems/Commercial Vehicle Operations Division of the FHWA's Office of Motor Carriers funded a program, which was managed by the NHTSA's Office of Crash Avoidance Research, to study competing fatigue detection technologies. Under the program, the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) conducted laboratory experiments to evaluate the validity, sensitivity, and reliability of selected personal (psychophysiological) fatigue-detection devices and measures. The study evaluated eye closure measures such as PERCLOS, a measure of eyelid droop identified in earlier NHTSA research as being a promising index of fatigue. PERCLOS is defined as the percent of time eyelids are closed 80% or more--a measure found to be significantly correlated with driver fatigue. Other psychophysiological measures assessed included two eye-blink measures, two electroencephalograph (EEG) measures, and a head movement detector. All measures had some validity, but the results corroborated most strongly the validity of PERCLOS. The final report, ``Evaluation of Techniques for Ocular Measurement,'' DOT-HS-808 762, is available through the National Technical Information Service, telephone (703) 605-6000 or (800) 553-6847. The FHWA and the NHTSA believe that the PERCLOS measure is one of the most promising known real-time indicators of driver alertness for in-vehicle systems. Laboratory-based studies of the driver-vehicle interface for a PERCLOS-based in-vehicle alertness monitoring system are currently underway. This Intelligent Vehicle Initiative (IVI)-funded project is being managed by the NHTSA's Office of Crash Avoidance Research and is a follow-up to the PERCLOS validation study. Under the program, UPENN is conducting laboratory experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of various potential elements of the driver-vehicle interface (DVI) of in-vehicle CMV driver alertness monitoring devices. Also, under this program, Carnegie Mellon Research Institute has developed, and is testing, a new camera and related software that can monitor and analyze a driver's PERCLOS in real-time. Other DVI components to be assessed include real-time gauges, informational alarms/warnings, and alerting stimuli. The study will make recommendations regarding optimal DVI design elements for CMV driver alertness monitors. This new study will be completed in the Spring of 1999 and reported at the conference. This technical conference/workshop is planned to discuss recent scientific validation findings regarding PERCLOS and other eye activity measures as metrics of alertness, and the status of efforts to develop in-vehicle sensors to continuously measure PERCLOS as an indicator of driver alertness (i.e., develop an ``alertometer''). The conference will also address the potential and appropriate uses of ``alertometer'' data and ways to ensure the active participation and acceptance of drivers and management in the use of such technologies. Since the PERCLOS measure will likely be a key metric employed in any operational test of alertness monitoring technology, the workshop will also provide an update of the FHWA's plans for implementing the IVI operational tests, as described above. Due to limited seating, early registration is encouraged. The registration fee is $150. The registration fee for full-time students is $100. Those registering before March 1, 1999 may pay an early registration fee of $100 ($75 for full-time students). Full refund of registration fees will be made for cancellations received by April 15, 1999. Refunds of 75 percent of the registration fee will be made for cancellation notices received after April 15, 1999. Persons interested in attending, presenting papers, and/or demonstrating relevant technologies are invited to obtain registration materials and submit papers or technology demonstration proposals, in accordance with the criteria set forth below. To be accepted for presentation, papers proposing methods of alertness measurement should describe how the measure/method meets one of the following three criteria for continuous, in-vehicle driver alertness monitoring, regardless of the technology used: (1) Provide continuous, in-vehicle driver-alertness monitoring, using the PERCLOS measure. (2) Be highly correlated with the PERCLOS. (3) Have gone through a validation process similar to the PERCLOS validation. Technologies proposed for demonstration at the conference will be evaluated with respect to their validity in measuring driver alertness, their reliability/durability for in-vehicle operation, and their current or potential cost of production and integration in vehicle operations. Interested parties are instructed to request a registration packet and submit a 300-500 word abstract, describing the paper or technology demonstration proposed for presentation at the conference. The abstracts related to technology demonstrations should include a description of the technology, including its major components, functional basis (i.e., what it measures), how it is installed in a vehicle (and/or worn by operators), what kind of feedback it provides to drivers, evidence of validity (e.g., correlation with performance on vigilance or alertness-related tasks), operational reliability/ durability, unobtrusiveness/acceptability, and affordability (or potential affordability following further development). Empirical data on device validity (i.e., evidence that it is accurately measuring alertness as measured by some independent criterion which is a known valid measure of alertness, such as the psychological vigilance test) is particularly important. The FHWA and NHTSA will select or invite presentations and demonstrations for the conference, based upon these criteria. Submitters are instructed not to submit any confidential or proprietary data on device design or performance. The outcomes of this conference are expected to be (1) greater public awareness of recent FHWA/NHTSA findings with respect to the validity of eye-based measures of driver alertness and related technology developments in this area, (2) the identification of other research and technology studies relevant to in-vehicle alertness monitoring, (3) a review of the overall state-of-the-art of in-vehicle alertness monitoring, (4) a review of concepts for providing feedback of alertness information to drivers, as well as other proposed features of the driver-vehicle interface, and (5) a review of concepts for successful and user-acceptable introduction of in-vehicle alertness monitoring to commercial motor carrier fleets. The FHWA does not believe the outcomes of this conference will impact the agency's on- going rulemaking addressing its prescriptive hours-of-service rules.

The Performance Institute, a think tank in performance measurement for government, announced the appointment on Thursday of Alma Cole as a 2014 performance fellow.
Cole served as the chief systems security officer for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which is part of the DHS. PI named Cole its cybersecurity fellow.
"Given our dependence on technology at no time has cybersecurity been more important or more in the headlines; however, organizations continue to struggle to understand and manage cyber risk," Cole said. "The dynamic nature of cyber threats and vulnerabilities require ongoing adaptation of defenses. The best of breed technologies should be combined with processes and procedures which are optimized for each individual organization so that cyber risk management activities are integrated into the lifeblood of the organization."
PI said its fellows are meant to provide thought leadership, strategic direction and hands-on experience to expand the work of the institute. The think tank seeks to advance its mission to meet the critical issues and challenges that face organizations and governments.
"Mr. Cole supports and participates in the Council on Cyber Security," Bruce Anich, the executive director for PI, said. "He is a key participant on the panel that was responsible for updating the Critical Security Controls and helped to facilitate sessions with The Performance Institute. We at PI are extremely excited to have Mr. Cole help us support the use of the Critical Security Controls as a framework profile to support organizations that are adopting the National Institute of Standards and Technology Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity."

1.1 Please identify the scope of claims that may be brought in your jurisdiction for breach of competition law.
A wide range of claims may be brought for breach of competition law under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) ("Act"). They include:
(a) "Cartel conduct", of which there are four types:
(i) price-fixing;
(ii) restricting outputs in the production and supply chain;
(iii) allocating customers, suppliers or territories (market sharing); and
(iv) bid-rigging.
(b) Contracts, arrangements and understandings (not necessarily between competitors) that have the purpose, effect or likely effect of substantially lessening competition in a market.
(c) "Price signalling" – although this currently applies only to the banking sector.
(d) "Secondary boycotts", which involve, among other elements, two or more persons acting in concert to hinder or prevent the supply of goods or services.
(e) "Misuse of market power" – a firm with a substantial degree of market power taking advantage of that power for the purpose of eliminating, deterring or substantially damaging a competitor.
(f) "Predatory pricing" – supplying goods or services for a sustained period at a price that is less than the "relevant cost" to the supplier in order to eliminate, deter or substantially damage a competitor.
(g) "Exclusive dealing", which covers certain types of restrictions on the supplier or acquirer of goods or services – such as not supplying/acquiring goods or services to/from others or to particular places – and which is prohibited if it has the purpose, effect or likely effect of substantially lessening competition.
(h) "Third line forcing", which involves a supplier supplying or offering to supply goods or services on the condition that the acquirer also acquires other goods or services from an unrelated third party.
(i) "Resale price maintenance", which involves a supplier attempting to induce an acquirer not to resupply the suppliers' goods or services for less than a price specified by the supplier.
(j) Mergers and acquisitions (of shares or assets) with the effect or likely effect of substantially lessening competition.
Some exceptions to these prohibitions are discussed in question 5.1. Cartel conduct can be prosecuted as either a criminal offence or a civil contravention. The other prohibitions are civil. However, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission ("ACCC"), which is the government competition regulator, can seek pecuniary penalties for civil contraventions (see question 3.1).
In addition, the Act includes regimes for:
(a) access to essential facilities;
(b) the energy industry;
(c) industry codes — which are in place for the franchising, horticulture, food and grocery, and oil industries;
(d) the telecommunications industry;
(e) international liner cargo shipping; and
(f) prices surveillance.
An explanation of those regimes is beyond the scope of this chapter.
There is also a common law doctrine that a contractual restraint of trade is void unless it is reasonable in the parties' interests and in the public interest (Buckley v Tutty (1971) 125 CLR 353). This doctrine is commonly invoked in cases concerning the validity of postemployment contractual restraints, and is also beyond the scope of this chapter.
1.2 What is the legal basis for bringing an action for breach of competition law?
The ACCC and private parties may apply to the court under Part VI of the Act for various remedies (see question 3.1).
1.3 Is the legal basis for competition law claims derived from international, national or regional law?
The Act is a statute passed by the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. Due to constitutional limitations on the Commonwealth Parliament's legislative power, the State Parliaments have all legislated to give the main competition law part of the Act a broader application, thus creating the "Competition Code".
1.4 Are there specialist courts in your jurisdiction to which competition law cases are assigned?
The Federal Court of Australia has jurisdiction to hear competition matters under the Act. The Federal Court's work is organised by reference to nine National Practice Areas, one of which is "Economic Regulator, Competition and Access" and currently has 23 judges.
An accused being criminally prosecuted for cartel conduct has a constitutional right to a jury trial.
The Federal Magistrates Court (a lower federal court) has only limited jurisdiction to hear competition law cases and is not considered further in this chapter.
The Australian Competition Tribunal ("Tribunal") is a specialist tribunal. It can authorise a proposed acquisition of shares or assets that would otherwise breach the Act if the acquisition would result in a public benefit such that the acquisition should be allowed. The Tribunal can also review the ACCC's decisions whether to authorise certain anticompetitive conduct.
1.5 Who has standing to bring an action for breach of competition law and what are the available mechanisms for multiple claimants? For instance, is there a possibility of collective claims, class actions, actions by representative bodies or any other form of public interest litigation? If collective claims or class actions are permitted, are these permitted on an "opt-in" or "opt-out" basis?
Standing depends on the particular penalties or remedies being sought:
(a) Criminal prosecutions for cartel conduct are carried out by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions ("DPP") in conjunction with the ACCC.
(b) Only the ACCC can seek a pecuniary penalty for civil contraventions.
(c) The ACCC or any person may apply for an injunction, except only the ACCC can do so to restrain an anticompetitive merger or acquisition.
(d) The ACCC or any other person may apply for a divestiture order in respect of an anticompetitive merger or acquisition.
(e) Damages can be claimed by any person who suffered loss or damage as a result of the breach.
(f) The ACCC and/or the DPP can apply for:
(i) a "non-punitive order";
(ii) an "adverse publicity order"; and/or
(iii) an order disqualifying a person from managing corporations.
(g) A wide range of compensation orders may also be sought:
(i) by a person who suffers (or is likely to suffer) loss or damage; or
(ii) by the ACCC on behalf of one or more such persons (with their prior written consent).
These remedies are explained in question 3.1.
Class actions (officially, "representative proceedings") may be brought under Part IVA of the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 (Cth). This requires at least seven persons who have claims that are against the same person, arise out of the same or similar circumstances and give rise to a substantial common issue of law or fact. One person may commence a representative proceeding on behalf of others – even without obtaining their consent – but they have a right to opt-out.
1.6 What jurisdictional factors will determine whether a court is entitled to take on a competition law claim?
The Act applies to conduct that occurs within Australia. It also applies to conduct that occurs outside Australia committed by a body corporate incorporated or carrying on business in Australia, or by an Australian citizen or resident.
Further, there are specific provisions concerning misuse of market power in a "trans-Tasman" (Australia and/or New Zealand) market and mergers and acquisitions that occur outside Australia, but affect competition in Australia.
The prohibitions on exclusive dealing (including third line forcing) and resale price maintenance also extend to conduct that occurs outside Australia in relation to the supply of goods or services within Australia.
1.7 Does your jurisdiction have a reputation for attracting claimants or, on the contrary, defendant applications to seize jurisdiction, and if so, why?
At present, it is difficult to see any such trend. The Act has recently been applied to cartel conduct occurring (at least partly) outside Australia: Air New Zealand Ltd v ACCC [2017] HCA 21. Also, Australia is an attractive destination for class actions, but to date these have mainly been in the nature of claims about securities and other investments.
1.8 Is the judicial process adversarial or inquisitorial?
The judicial process is adversarial but the Federal Court has broad case management powers.

Hello Hong Kong ! Jul '13
So If you have seen previous posts, you know that I made a "blink and miss" visit to Macau city in May 2013 to attend a wedding. The reason the trip was a short one besides the considerable travel time , was that we were heading back to Hong Kong in a month's time for a wedding within our family.
My mother-in-law grew up in Hong Kong, and most of her family still resides there. So Hong Kong it was for a 10 day vacation, inclusive of a 2 day Chinese wedding festivity.
Travel: Cathay Pacific offers one of the easiest non-stop flights to get to Hong Kong from the Middle East (GCC) and has quite comfortable aircrafts.
Now since this was my first trip to Hong Kong, my family made a special effort in terms of sight-seeing,eateries,shopping etc.
1) The Peak : If you want to get fabulous, mind-boggling views of this beautiful modern city, make your way to the peak. The Victoria Peak offers stunning panoramic views of Hong Kong and leaves you mesmerised. There are lots of excursions on offer to have the perfect "Peak" experience. Hiking trails, trams that will give you spectacular views and the illusion of a slanted city,or just driving up to the Peak by Taxi/Cab and enjoying the restaurants, coffee shops and shopping all encompassed in a complex at the very top .Not one to miss !
2) Landmark Mall (Central Hong Kong) and Elements Mall : Growing up in Dubai as a 90's child, you tend to get a bit big-headed about the infrastructure and how spectacular all these huge malls are etc etc. Hong Kong's infrastructure and the sheer size and complexity of its structures and malls , that were built wayy before the world knew what "Dubai" was will plant your feet firmly back into the ground. The Landmark Mall in Central Hong Kong and Elements in the Kowloon side are both monstrosities with every kind of shop you might want all under one roof. A shopper's paradise, enough to leave even the most relentless person tired and make the pickiest shopper , grab a few things.
Landmark Mall ( Central Hong Kong)
Elements Mall ( Kowloon)
3) Tsim Sha Tsui: Situated in Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui is a bustling area with streets packed with shops and restaurants. None of the high-end brand business. But for those who love exploring a culture and their tit-bits by roaming the streets and discovering, this is the perfect place for you. Some great street-side shopping and street food while roaming around this area.Also the streets lead up to a beautiful promenade with spectacular views of the city skyline at night.
4) Repulse Bay: After all the city life and hustle- bustle you might crave some picturesque quiet and this is when you should head to one of the more naturally beautiful parts of Hong-Kong. With stunning views and a scenic drive, on roads woven through the mountains, Repulse bay is a great retreat from the city and also offers a nice stretch of beach, for enthusiasts.
5) Lang Kwai Fong: Like any other commercial city, the night life in Hong Kong is booming, and to enjoy it,there is no better place to head to than Lang Kwai Fong. Overflowing with clubs,lounges,pubs and bars,all plush with different tunes bursting through a unique ambience/setting. Lang Kwai Fong has a night-life experience for everyone.
1) Yum Cha ( Afternoon Tea) at Lei Garden: Yum Cha is a Chinese tradition, where the family gets together for Dim-Sims and tea in the afternoon, usually on a weekend. Our choice of of restaurant was Lei Garden, located at the Elements Mall (Kowloon),with a mind-boggling variety of authentic dim-sums and other treats the Yum Cha experience at Lei Garden was a memorable one.
2)Gai Mei Bao (Cocktail Bun) at Maxim's : The Chinese are very popular for their breads both sweet and savoury, and one that stole my heart and had me gorging on it at least twice a day was the famous "Gai Mei Bao" , a soft delicious bread with a sweet buttery coconut concoction in the centre, had me wanting it for breakfast and evening tea non-stop for 10 days. Of course if sweet isn't your thing there are several other options at this amazing bakery, and there is a Maxim's branch within your reach at any populated area in Hong Kong. Must Try !
1) Citygate Outlet Mall: By now you probably know that one of the pleasures of my travels are my shopping expeditions, and locating outlet malls in a nation known for their love of brands was icing on the cake. So unfortunately, for me I was massively let down by the Citygate Outlet Mall which is a good couple of hours away from Kowloon (where I was staying). Although the mall is well built and spacious, it lacks most high – end designers ( Which is the whole point of an outlet mall) and even the selected choice of stores, won't leave you with that smug satisfactory feeling of having saved a fortune, or landed an amazing deal. This one was a miss for me.
Due to the lack of time and probably just having a lazy/good time. We missed going to two places that I have been assured are worth your time and money.
Disneyland – Hong Kong: This is a no-brainer for a fun filled day at a theme park, however, having visited Orlando (2012) , Disneyland was not my to-visit list for the Hong Kong trip.
Tian Tan Buddha: This enormous beautiful statue of the Big Buddha has thousands of tourists visiting each year. One of the largest structures of the Big Buddha ever built in bronze, and can actually be seen from miles away ! Some say even from Macau on a clear day !

Unfortunately on my trip to Hong Kong, food was a big let down. Hopefully next time Maxim's bakery will come to my rescue! On your next trip you must visit the Giant Buddha, you won't regret it 🙂
Omg, I so want to visit Hong Kong now, the pictures are great, thank you x

A pregnant woman who was being stabbed Friday when a Watauga police officer shot her assailant in the head is improving, and her unborn child should be OK. But the man who stabbed her died Friday night, an official said.
"The suspect was declared dead around 10 p.m.," Watauga police Sgt. Jason Babcock said.
The Tarrant County medical examiner's office had not listed the man's name Saturday evening.
The pregnant woman appears to be improving at John Peter Smith Hospital, Babcock said.
"Doctors feared she might lose her arm, but they seem to have saved it," he said.
A second female victim was treated for stab wounds and was released Friday from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.
The unidentified officer who responded to the call about 1:20 p.m. in the 6400 block of Patsy Lane has been with the Watauga Police Department about two years.
He is in his 40s and this is his first job as a police officer. He remains on routine administrative leave while Texas Rangers investigate the shooting is investigated. However, preliminary investigation indicates that he acted properly, Babcock said.
"From all appearances he handled himself quite well," Babcock said. "We're fortunate that he was so close and his response was so quick."
The officer was just blocks away when he received the call. He arrived to find one woman on the ground and another being stabbed. He fired one shot from about 10 feet away, hitting the suspect in the head, Babcock said.
"The officer's actions are still being looked into, but it looks liike it was something he had to do," Babcock said. "It looks like he may have saved three lives with one shot."
Police still don't know why the man attacked the women, but Babcock said the pregnant woman was the man's girlfriend.
"I don't know the details of their relationship, but there was some sort of trouble," Babcock said. "We're still investigating what led to the attack."
Both women and the suspect are young adults, and at least one of the women lived in the house on Patsy Lane. One of the women called 911.

Can't Buy Me Love Takes Giant Leap To Number 1
Written By: Anthony|
May 21, 2013|
Posted In:
By the end of March,1964 Beatle records were ubiquitous. Can't Buy Me Love topped the charts at number one. Also in the top 5 were Twist and Shout; She loves You; I Want to Hold Your Hand; Please Please Me. All in all the Beatles had a total of 14 songs in the top 100. This surpassed Elvis Presleys' feat of 9 concurrent songs by one artist on the top 100, which occurred on December 19,1956.
In addition to the five aforementioned songs at the top, the other Beatle songs in the top 100 were, Do You Want To Know A Secret; I Saw Here Standing There; You Can't Do That; All My Loving; From Me To you; Thank You Girl; There's a Place; Roll Over Beethoven and Love Me Do.
Can't Buy Me Love also set a record for the longest leap to number one. The song debuted at number 27, then ascended to number one the following week. This was the biggest leap to number one in the history of pop music at the time. Can't Buy me Love became the 3rd consecutive number one for The Beatles, immediately following I Want to Hold Your Hand and She Loves You. Yet again The Beatles broke another Elvis Presley record. Elvis had 2 consecutive number one records the second half of 1956, with Don't Be Cruel/ Hound Dog and Love Me Tender.
At This time in pop culture the conditions were exactly right for The Beatles. Because of their phenomenal success, all the previous record companies who owned the rights to Beatle songs reissued their catalog, thus creating a perfect storm for Beatlemania. Consequently Can't Buy Me Love became the song with the largest advanced orders of any single at the time. The song had international advanced sales of 2,100,000 copies.

Pipeline report should show probability * value amount vs full value in report.
