Young Women as Job Creators
"Young Women as Job Creators" provides talented young women finishing their University studies with assistance to become successful businesswomen.
The "Young Women as Job Creators" project was officially launched on the 30th of April 2013 in Barcelona, after the endorsement of the 43 Member States of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM).
It promotes self-employment and entrepreneurship among young women university students who are about to graduate from a university in Jordan, Morocco, Palestine and Spain, and who have an interest in starting their own business. The project is based in the organization of Women Entrepreneurship Days (WEDs), a series of seminars which provide the participants with specific training and coaching to create new businesses.
In 2013 the project informed, motivated and trained at about 800 young women from 32 participating universities to become future successful businesswomen and employers.
On the 15th of January 2014, AFAEMME and the Union for the Mediterranean signed a Global Project Memorandum in order to ensure the project's replication to additional countries and universities in the Euro-Mediterranean region in an effort to further promote women entrepreneurship and contribute to the development of sustainable economies based on private initiative, quality education and gender equality.
The second phase of the project, set to take place in 2014, will be held in Albania, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Palestine, Spain and Tunisia. The third phase will be held in the seven countries of the second phase and in Algeria, Croatia, Lebanon and Turkey.
Once the project's three phases will be concluded, a total of 11 countries and more than 2.500 young women will have participated in the programme.
More information about the project and promoter can be found at the official site of the project.
About the promoter and partner institutions
"Young Women as Job Creators" is promoted by the Association of Organisations of Mediterranean Businesswomen, AFAEMME, a European and Mediterranean platform of projects on gender equality and business, promoting equality at work and lobbying to enhance women's legal, social and professional status. AFAEMME was founded in 2002 in Barcelona, Spain, and it gathers 41 organizations from 22 countries from the Mediterranean basin.

Will Tassal (ASX: TGR) boost dividends, or use strong cashflow to boost the business?
Tassal has had a remarkable year. The shareprice increased over 2013 from $1.43 to $3.30, an increase of 130%. Profit after tax and dividends over FY 2013 were up over 18%, despite revenue being flat. This was mainly because of the significant reduction in borrowings. A few years ago borrowings were over 60%, with the funds used to develop the salmon farm at Macquarie Harbour in western Tasmania. At the beginning of FY 2013, borrowings were an already respectable 25% of equity and reduced over the year to 18%.
There were a number of successes for the company. Warmer summer sea temperatures on the west coast had been threatening growth of fish for harvest, but the company overcame this with a revised harvest regime. At the same time, the sales and marketing emphasis changed from international sales to domestic sales. This was highly successful, with Tassal being credited with increasing the domestic per-person consumption of salmon. Demand now outstrips supply and Tassal is the main producer. Couple this with the better terms of trade from the falling dollar which has increased the price of international salmon, mainly from Scandinavia, Tassal is now in an enviable position.
With a PE of just 14.2 and a dividend yield of 3% (just 40% of earnings) there would appear to be room for an increase in the dividend. Cashflow is even greater than earnings, with a cashflow yield in the latest year of 10.8% on current prices.
However, a new growth in business size is projected. Tassal has been granted an increase in harvest limit from 1.4M fish to 2.1M fish. To what extent this will be covered by the current rate of cashflow is not clear. Capital expenditure to fill the gap will cut in from the 2015 financial year, with resulting increase in borrowing. Dividends may be held back to pay off the borrowings, as had been done in the past.
For an agricultural company there are always risks. Disease in their farmed fish has been conrolled well, though new threats are always possible. Domestic consumption of salmon seems likely to increase, if recent trends are indication, but this is not guaranteed. Likewise, the exchange rate movement has been in Tassal's favour, but this is also not guaranteed to continue.
There may be risks, but there is also the possibility of improved pricing and the option to start international sales again. Medium term, the size of the business in projected to increase by 50%, with a subsequent increase in earnings from 2020 onwards. Overall, we see good value in this company now, with the possibility of even better times to come.

In order to analyze Mullins's doctrine of original sin, the author will provide a summary of Mullin's overall argument. The summary will be followed by a critique of the premises upon which the overall argument is built. The components of the doctrine are found within his systematic theology in various places.
This paper tells that several factors weaken Mullins's discussion of the doctrine of original sin. First, because components of his doctrine are scattered throughout Christian Religion, the overall flow of his argument is difficult to trace. In fact, one first encounter his claim that the sinful tendencies inherited from Adam are worthy of condemnation in the final section of his chapter on sin.

The Associated Press tweeted a tweet with the hashtag #StandWithWendy Friday evening. The hashtag is considered advocacy in support of Wendy Davis, the Texas state Democrat who famously filibustered the Texas bill that made abortions illegal after the unborn child was older then 20 weeks.
The AP claimed that, "This was an attempt to get more attention for the tweet, but it clearly violates AP policies on steering clear of opinion or advocacy."
It is funny, though, how these media mistakes only ever seem to benefit the left.

Music & Drama
God-honoring worship is something we strive for. Many church members get involved in our music and drama ministry. Some play their instruments. Some are vocalists. Others get involved in drama. These volunteers are an important part of the ministry of Lighthouse Bible Church, using their talents and gifts to glorify God.
The usher team at Lighthouse Bible Church fills an important role. They are involved in directing attendees to their seats, ensuring the safety of the building during services, guiding traffic, helping visitors, answering questions, providing direction, and generally ensuring that the service can proceed problem-free.

I wanted to share a recipe that I recently tried, after the lovely people at Stoves Kitchen asked me to recreate one of their festive recipes. I could have opted for a lighter soup, but being the winter season and the season for indulgence and winter flavours, I decided on cooking Glynn Purnell's Roast Pork Belly with Shrimp and Apple. I love pork belly so this was an immediate choice. Pork belly is an economical family favourite, readily available from butchers and supermarkets. I've never had pork belly with shrimp, it never crossed my mind to combine pork with shrimp, an ultimate twist on the surf and turf. The oven does the majority of the work in this dish, which is perfect if you don't want to be hovering over the stove. Also the delicate flavours that come through to the melt in your mouth pork belly and the light crunch of the prawns is a wonderful combination. I served this wonderful dish with crispy roast potatoes and green beans.
Take a look on their site, there are such a wonderful and diverse range of recipes from our well loved and trusted chefs and have a #StovesChristmas.
- 1/2 boneless pork belly
- Salt and black pepper
- 1/2 shallot, finely diced
- 2 tbsp baby capers
- 100ml apple juice
- 1 large English Bramley apple, diced
- 500g shrimps , peeled and blanched (I used prawns)
- 1/2 tbsp chopped sage
- 1 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley
- Splash of cream
- Knob of butter
Pre-heat oven to 190°C.
Place the pork on a roasting rack, stab all over with a roasting fork. Put salt and black pepper over the pork.
Cook for 2 hours, leave to rest.
Add the shallot to the juices in the tray over heat, and when soft add the capers and apple juice and reduce.
Add apple, shrimps, chopped herbs, splash of cream and knob of butter.
Carve the pork then serve the shrimp stew all over the pork. Eat with a dollop of mash or crispy summer cabbage.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
I am a full-bore, hard-core, no-holds-barred election nerd. I have voted in every single election since I was eligible to vote, I hosted our 2014 midterms open thread (as you may recall), and every year my house plays host to a bitchin' election party. (Now that it's not the polling place and we're allowed to be as partisan as we please.)
I'm actually one of those people who gets excited about the midterms, which many people view kind of apathetically, but this year's were particularly notable. Many people regard the midterms of a President's second term as a sort of referendum on how things are going, and if the fact that we collectively elected a GOP Congress is any sign, people are pissed at the Democrats.
But the thing is, honestly, voters are pissed at everyone. The economy still sucks, we're still at war, despite some gains we don't really seem to be progressing socially, Congress and the White House can't seem to play nice (and that's not going to get better), and everything kind of feels like it's in the toilet right now, honestly. Which is not a great way to set up for an election, since voters are pretty much guaranteed to vote their guts, instead of their heads.
And when voters make decisions based on short-term gratification and immediate needs, you get totally wonky, confusing results, which is exactly what happened on Tuesday night, when voters approved a ton of progressive stuff (minimum wage laws! marijuana!) spanked down some regressive nonsense (personhood!), yet still managed to elect a bunch of Republicans. In some cases, they actually elected Republicans who had opposed the very same issues they were supporting. Like, Ima let you finish, bro, but you do realize how logically inconsistent this is, right?
Or is it?
So the good news, in terms of what happened on a state level, is that a number of states passed progressive ballot initiatives, including my personal favorite, minimum wage hikes across the nation. Apparently people are tired of living below the poverty line and working six million jobs. Who knew.
Colorado and North Dakota both said "no thanks" to personhood, and personally, if I were voting in Colorado, I would be tired enough of this issue coming up on the ballot that I'd propose a constitutional amendment to bar it from ever being discussed again.
A bunch of states (and DC) said yes to the devil's weed, if you're into that kind of thing, and we upped the representation of ladies in Congress, which is pretty great.
There were some definite misses. Alabama is apparently deeply worried about sharia mysteriously being imposed on its residents while its guns are taken away, so it voted overwhelmingly against "foreign law" and pro-gun. Arkansas decided to cling to its weird alcohol laws. Montana voted to end same-day voter registration, and abortion restrictions squeaked by in Tennessee.
But overall, the tenor of the states in terms of how people were voting on a local, immediate, personal level tended towards the liberal. (My own county, being the sort of place that it is, of course had a fracking ban on the ballot, which of course passed by nearly 70%.)
But here's the thing. All of these issues had two important characteristics: They provided immediate benefits, and they represented increases in personal freedoms. This is important, because this is exactly what many GOP candidates were promising. Republican voters were already pretty on-board with the plan, and so were some Democrats who felt frustrated with the somewhat rudderless direction of their party (for the record, if you're wondering, I'm registered nonpartisan, and couldn't give a fig for either party, I think they're all a bunch of weasels).
Point being, though, is that Democrats made a number of promises that involved ominous vague things like spending money, and possibly increasing regulations, and perhaps disrupting the general order of things. Republicans, by and large, promised two things: They wouldn't cost us money (in fact, in some cases, they would free us of the tyranny of the tax system and its unreasonable demands for funds to pay for things like schools and firefighters) and they would basically leave us alone.
For people who want to keep their money and be left alone, it's pretty hard to see where the disadvantage is here. The larger picture, of course, is that when you want liberal things -- like, say, higher minimum wages, or the ability for children to go to school and actually get an education, or for people to show up when your house is burning down, or access to, like, hospitals -- you kind of have to pay for them. That's the tradeoff we all make, socially.
"This is why we can't have nice things," as the Internet likes to say, and fundamentally, money is behind the reasons we can't have nice things. As a nation, we really hate spending money, our money in particular, and thus we end up voting really paradoxically in situations like this, because while our hearts are liberal, our hands are greedy capitalist pigs desperate to hold on to their tax dollars.
So it's easy to vote locally on issues that don't directly affect our wallets; smacking down yet another annoying attempt at a personhood amendment doesn't actually result in any major net changes to our economic situation. Likewise, legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana doesn't seem to have any immediate economic costs. Raising the minimum wage, obviously, benefits low-wage workers.
But on a federal level, electing people who promise to do things that will cost money, even if those things sound appealing, is not really something that voters want to go for. Which is how you end up with situations like this year, where Republicans beat out Democrats even in some surprising places, and why some races were extremely tight -- I'm looking at you, Scott Walker. Clearly not everyone in the country thinks in immediate and limited terms when it comes to money and elections, but enough people think that way that it made the difference this time around.
This election really highlighted the need for Democrats to organize and communicate more effectively if they want to capture voters who are undecided, but it also highlighted the need for people to get out and, pardon my French, fucking vote. Voter turnout this year was absolutely abysmal, in part because so many people feel so jaded by, done with, and burned by politics. Turnout hovered around 30-35% (and seriously, go check that article out, it has graphs and everything), and that's just for registered voters; some 70 million people who are eligible aren't registered, which, don't even talk to me. Do not even. And I get it. Politics is really not much of a fiesta these days.
But here's the thing: Politics, like a box of chocolates, always turns up a few specimens that just aren't very good. So you just eat them and move on, because if you don't, your entire kitchen will be overrun with ants.
What happened this year is something we brought upon ourselves as a collective, and if we don't get it together in 2016, it's going to happen again. Between now and then, we need to do a number of things, but the most important, in no particular order, are:
1) Get people to register to vote already. I don't care which way people vote, they should be registered. Additionally, people need to remember to update their voter registrations when they move.
2) Get people to commit to voting, and create incentives for doing so. Some friends of mine and I are starting an informal pact with each other where everyone has to chip in $50 and whoever doesn't vote in 2016 has to pay double, with the resulting pool of funds being invested in the charities of the voters' choice. Given that we're pretty much all election nerds, it's probable that few people will be paying the punishment, but it's a good example of a way to commit among friends.
3) Facilitate the ability to vote so that every voter who wants to play a role in the democratic process instead of whining incessantly about social problems while doing nothing to fix them can actually vote -- that means demolishing voter ID laws, making polling places accessible, protecting early and absentee voting, defending same-day voter registration, and ensuring by every means possible that every vote will be received and counted.
Is voting the only way to make a difference? No, of course not. But participation in the electoral process is still important, as illustrated by what happened on Tuesday. We're going to be reaping what we just sowed for a good long while, because while many of us passed liberalized laws, all of us will be living under a conservative Congress that can't wait to start cutting social services, rolling back progressive legislation, and being a big ole pain in the President's patootie.
Not all of us voted for that, but it's what we got anyway.
Now, let's all go have a good hard bitter misandrist laugh at Scott Brown, who bears the delightful distinction of having had his arse handed to him by not one but two ladies in two different states, and then let's get to work. Because I don't know about you, but if we end up with a Republican controlled Executive and Legislative in 2016, I will flip a table, and my wrists are too feeble for that.
P.S. It's the Democratic Party, not the Democrat Party, and Hillary Clinton, not Hilary Clinton. Stop being brats, Republicans.

World number one Jason Day confessed he considered quitting golf shortly before making his Masters bow five years ago.
Jason Day has revealed he considered quitting golf ahead of the 2011 Masters.
The 28-year-old Australian vaulted himself to the top of the world rankings this weekend by winning the WGC-Dell Match Play, his second consecutive victory.
Day admitted he almost walked away from the sport five years prior, but was persuaded to continue by his team amid a struggle for form ahead of his first visit to Augusta National.
"I felt like quitting the game before that week. I was having the worst time on the golf course," he said in an interview on Golf Channel.
"I was going to quit the game, then my team talked me into playing.
"I was going to not play that week and take time off."
Day ended the 2011 Masters joint-second with Adam Scott, two shots adrift of winner Charl Schwartzel.
The 28-year-old has won six out of his last 13 events and is being tipped to challenge at Augusta National in April, but is expected to face stiff competition from Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy.

I can't believe this year will mean I've been a mum for 9 years. I've raised a little tiny baby into a beautiful little person. Wait, what? I look at Isabelle and I see a reflection of myself and David, what we have created. And then I see so much more than we could have ever imagined.
I see this amazingly talented young girl. No longer a little girl, she's sort of in between being little and not so little. She's always been this bouncing bright light that never tires, always wanting to please, always always seeing those rainbows and having that innocence I want to preserve forever.
Isabelle. She can sleep through a hurricane and eat her way through a family pack of weetabix in a week. For someone so tiny she's a powerhouse. She's also the most care free person I know. If I could see into the future I'd see her with a backpack across her tanned toned shoulders, hair pulled up in a whispy bun, an assortment of clothes that on the shelf have no style or purpose but on her look amazingly cool, as she travels across the globe picking up stories and creating her own. Whether she does this or not doesn't matter, I know she will be happy and follow her wild heart.
She currently works her perfect little peachy butt off hurtling down the track in her elite tumbling squad which she has only been apart of 9 months and yet the skills she has accomplished are those worth several years of training. I squirm behind parted fingers as she leaps into the air and does some crazy hands free round off followed by 6 flicks and lands perfectly. Or sometimes doesnt. Sometimes she gets hurt and that motherly instinct to rush to her and wrap her in bubble wrap is overpowering. She's pushed hard and sometimes that's tough on her, but she's always determined to go back the next session and nail it. When she's not training what feels like every spare hour of the week she's trying flicks and whips on the trampoline or cartwheeling from A to B, inside, outside, in the shops, it doesn't matter where. She's always on the move. And yet this bustling busy bee can sit for hours beautifully and patiently, intricately colouring in those relaxing colouring books you find on most shelves with such calm and serenity it's hard to imagine it's the same person (me and Eloise attempt this and get bored after 5 minutes).
It saddens me in one way that I see the future when I look at her, I see her beauty and her spirit. I know us mums say it so often but sometimes I just want to freeze time. I feel I need a little more time with these few precious years while she is still my little girl and needs me. With my other two dividing my attention Isabelle has wistfully carried on growing and becoming this person and I look up and suddenly see her. I see the demands I ask of her, I hear myself telling her to grow up. And then when I have time to reflect I take it all back. I want to just pull her close to me on my knee and give her the biggest cuddle I can possibly give and breathe her all in. My amazing little girl who just makes me swell with love, pride and joy. I didn't know it was possible to love so hard until I had children. Even on those days when it's all a bit crap they are my light.
Isabelle will always be a bright spirit, whatever she decides to do in life I know she will find love and happiness as it just follows her in a glittery cloud.
Happiest of birthdays to date I hope, with a lifetime more to follow ❤

INTEREST RATES ON 52-WEEK Treasury bills rose in Thursday`s auction. The Treasury Department sold $9.8 billion in the bills, out of bids of $36.8 billion, at an average discount rate of 5.47 percent, up from 5.33 percent at the last auction on Aug. 28. The discount rate understates the actual return to investors -- 5.79 percent with a $10,000 bill selling for $9,446.90.
THE CONSTITUTIONALITY of the way the Federal Reserve system regulates the nation`s money supply was upheld by a federal judge in Washington. Sen. John Melcher, D-Mont., challenged the make-up of the membership of the policy- making Federal Open Market Committee because Congress does not get to vote on the appointment of five of its 12 members. Melcher argued that Congress violated the Constitution when it gave authority to make important government policy to private citizens whose fitness was not approved by the executive or legislative branches. But U.S. District Judge Harold H. Greene said, ``Congress has employed its undoubted power to regulate the banking industry and the nation`s money supply by a system that is in part private, although it also includes significant avenues for decisive governmental influence. . . . While the composition of the Federal Open Market Committee may be unusual, it is not unconstitutional.``
THE NATION`S 1,000 LARGEST manufacturers have cut back on their plans to invest in new plant and equipment for the second consecutive quarter, a report from the Conference Board said Thursday in New York. Capital appropriations by these companies fell sharply to $18.8 billion in the second quarter of this year, down 20 percent from the first quarter. Appropriations during the first half of 1986 were 27 percent below the first half of last year, the business research organization said. The decline in spending plans is widespread, extending beyond the large petroleum industry. The report said appropriations by non-petroleum manufacturers are down 20 percent from year-ago levels. Actual capital spending by the country`s largest manufacturers during the first half of 1986 was 4 percent below 1985`s historically high figures.

Motion to Increase the Maximum Number of Directors
A call for nominations of PSF directors was issued, to the PSF-members, PSF-volunteers, and python-announce lists, and to the PSF blog (http://pyfound.blogspot.com/2006/12/call-for-nominations-of-psf-directors.html). We had a good response, with 4 new candidates stepping forward, in addition to the 8 incumbents. We have a total of 12 candidates for Director this year, but currently the Board is limited to 8 Directors. As Tim Peters put it, "the bigger the board, the more gets done."
This motion aims to increase the limit on the number of Directors going forward. We learned in the past that it's better to expand the Board than to miss out on offers of help. This does not mean that all candidates for Director will automatically be elected; this year's Directors will be decided in the election below.
The motion:
WHEREAS it is recognized that it is beneficial to the Foundation to have a large number of active Directors, be it
RESOLVED, that the PSF Board be increased to a maximum of twelve (12) Directors.
Please vote (check one) [ ] For [ ] Against [ ] Abstain
To pass, the motion must receive more "For" votes than "Against" votes.
Election of a New Board of Directors
There are 12 candidates for a total of either 12 or 8 Director positions, depending on the outcome of the vote on the motion above. Since the outcome will not be known until the members' meeting, please vote on both possibilities:
- 12 Director positions (if the motion above passes). Vote "Yes" for a maximum of 12 candidates below in column "A".
- 8 Director positions (if the motion above fails to pass). Vote "Yes" for a maximum of 8 candidates below in column "B".
To be elected, a nominee must receive more "Yes" votes than "No" votes.
Please vote to accept as Director (check one of "Yes", "No", or "Abstain" for each nominee in each of columns "A" and "B"):
|A: Check Max. 12 "Yes"
|B: Check Max. 8 "Yes"

So last week I bit the bullet so to speak and spent a little more then I wanted to get myself a cintiq. Figured if I wanted to advance my art skills I would need to start working digitally. I've had doc show me how his worked and always was impressed by how much easier it made things. Well I picked it up last night and with docs help had it up and running with only a few hiccups.( like forgetting to plug in the USB and wondering why the pen wouldn't work)
So the question I have for any of you art types out there are what are some good tips / programs to use with this thing? I'm pretty much the newb when it comes to using it. Currently I have docs ancient copy of paintshop and a full version of twisted brush. Was considering trying a trial version of photoshop to see if it had tools more in line with how I think it should work. Both of the programs I mentioned have various things about them I really like, but I'm having trouble with one because I need to reverse or reassign a function but seem to be unable to do it how I think it should be. Could very well be a me thing.
Any input will be welcome. I have a cintiq 27qhd touch. (Loving the hand commands btw)
While I'm not an artist, I hear a number of the illustrator types that I watch say good things about Paint Tool SAI.
I hope you enjoy your new toy!

Work on the iconic Boots Motel along Route 66 continues as the owners work toward having the motel designated as a national historic site.
Roof work was done this week on the motel, which was a stop for many tourists traveling along Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles. Workers also plan to replicate the original sign and neon lighting.
Co-owner Debye Harvey said Thursday that restoring the original flat roofline the motel had when it opened in 1939 will allow her to apply for the National Register of Historic Places.
She and her sister, Priscilla Bledsaw, bought the Boots Motel nearly two years ago, after it had been used for years as rental property. They have restored five rooms and last summer started opening them to Route 66 travelers who wanted to recreate the 1940s experience.
A $12,000 grant from the National Park Service's Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program is paying about half of the project costs. The remainder will come from the owners, donations and a preservation award from the Route 66 Association of Missouri.
Harvey said the National Park Service had extended the deadline for the project, which the owners hope will be complete in three weeks.
The motel didn't have many guests over the winter, Harvey said, but business is improving.
"We already have more reservations right now than we did for all the last three months."
She said the motel is fully booked for the first two nights of the Route 66 festival, which is scheduled for Aug. 1-3 in Joplin.
