When making a payment, have you gotten used to some lagtime
between the transaction and the money clearing your
account? This will be going away – for example, if you pay your
cable bill by telephone in the morning, the funds could be
cleared from your account before 5:00 P.M. the same day.
On September 15, the Federal Reserve will start processing sameday
ACH (Automated Clearing House) payments. This is an
option that allows funds to move more quickly than in the past,
further modernizing current payment systems. Retailers can
opt to convert the checks you write to ACH by using the same
system that is used for bill payments. Payments you schedule
via websites, telephone or mobile apps where you provide your
account number could be affected by this change.
Don't Assume Funds Will Clear the Day After PurchaseHabits can be hard to break. Get in the habit now of planning
for funds to clear at the time you check out.
Check Your Share Draft BalanceKeeping a low balance can have a negative impact in the event
a same-day ACH payment overdraws your account and incurs
a fee. Even with courtesy pay or overdraft protection, keeping
your account balance at a level that supports your spending is
the best way to keep your account in the green.
Ask Questions
We are here to help! Leading up to and after this change occurs,
watch your statements for additional announcements. And

Animal Earth: New Photos Exploring the Diversity of the World's Most Obscure Species
We've all grown up learning about familiar animals like fish, tigers, elephants and bears, but this new book from Ross Piper takes the opposite approach: exploring the diversity in size, shape and color of the world's most obscure and rarely seen organisms. With photography from Alexander Semenov, Arthur Anker, and other animal specialists and researchers, the 320-page Animal Earth promises to open your eyes to a variety of truly bizarre species from deepest oceans and the most adverse climates. The book is set to be published mid-November from Thames & Hudson.

Listen to Ed Sheeran Adorably Read the Weather Report
In the UK, the weather is cloudy with a chance of ginger.
Singer Ed Sheeran co-hosted Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 show Tuesday morning when his BFF (but notgf) Taylor Swift came on as a guest. And his crowning moment came when the singer got to read the weather report, fulfilling an Ed Sheeran weatherman fantasy we never knew we had.
"The weather outside is brisk — if you walk out you will get very, very pink cheeks, um, very quickly," Ed Sheeran said, hopefully while blushing.
He continued, "You will need some lip balm because your lips will dry, and that will happen. Also there is a chance that you will step in a puddle today so please do not wear slippers outside."
Ed, where were you during the polar vortex? You would have made things so much more pleasant!

My name is Darren Morrison and I am the Leadership Coordinator for a non-profit Christian ministry called Mission Possible. Mission Possible has a total of eight schools and churches in Haiti and the Dominican Republic with nearly 2,500 students. Our goal is to equip the next generation of Christ centered leaders in these two countries. We see poor education, corrupt leaders, and extreme poverty, but Mission Possible wants to be a beacon of hope in a dark place. The students at our schools receive a nutritious lunch each day, medical care, an excellent education, Christian discipleship, and leadership skills. We are a hand up, not a handout organization so we believe that to be sustainable and not create dependency, the students must have some buy in even if it is just a small fee and uniform. This also means we don't hand out gifts, money, and other resources to the students. Our field staff are all Haitian nationals and receive continuing education, seminars, and leadership training to make sure they are well equipped for their positions. My role, as you probably guessed, is in the leadership and development area of the ministry. I help develop our leadership curriculum, organize our strategic plan, and teach seminars on leadership and unity to our staff/students. I feel extremely blessed and thankful to be in this role.
With this position at Mission Possible, I must raise my support. This is why I created this blog; to create an easy way for individuals to give and to welcome new donors too. I also want to use this blog to keep my current donors and prayer warriors informed about my work and share what God is teaching me regarding leadership. Click Blog Posts to read my most recent blogs. Click My Support if you would like to support my work at MP. Click Fundraising if you would like to support our leadership development at MP.

You can also subscribe to my blog to receive e-mail notifications of future blog posts on the right side of the page too. Thanks for your help, leave a comment so I know you were here. God Bless!

Year In Provence
Jane Stephenson
Having just returned from a year in Provence many people have asked me what do I miss about France now that I am back, and what did I miss about Ireland while I was away. So I decided to write down my reflections on my experience of living in both cultures.
The main thing I absolutely LOVED about France was the respect for women, and particularly older women. In Ireland older women are often invisible, to men and younger women. As an older women I have often had the experience of being 'tolerated' when talking to a male professional, tradesperson, shop assistant or just about anyone, rather than respected. This is particularly true when in the company of a man. This was demonstrated clearly to me last summer in Dublin when I went into my local wine shop to buy wine with my partner. He picked up a cigar while I looked at the wine. The proprietor came up and greeted him warmly, insisted on showing him some recommended wines whilst completely ignoring me. Needless to say I left the shop without purchasing anything.
In France when we met any man, whether a professional, garage mechanic, tradesperson, gardener in ANY situation, even when my partner was doing the talking and questioning, I was ALWAYS included and respected. Eye contact was maintained with both of us - in fact at times so much so that I felt my partner was being excluded! It was a a delicious feeling to be such an integral part of anyconversation and one I had not felt since I was young and attractive. The respect for women is innate in French culture, and now that Macron is in power with his beautiful wife, older women are more respected than ever!
By contrast I missed the easy chat in Ireland, you can talk to anyone whereas the French, like the English, need to be introduced. Once there is an introduction they are warm and friendly but there is nothing like being able to go up to a complete stranger and just chat! I was on the beach in Brittas Bay at the weekend (another plus, deserted beaches!) and started talking to a fellow swimmer. We talked about swimming, the weather and then went on personal experiences and it was wonderful to be able to get to know a total stranger in such an easy exchange. In the same way motorists in Ireland will often wave and smile at each other whereas this just does not happen in France. French drivers are reserved and aloof in their cars, perhaps it is because they need all their concentration to approach roundabouts at full tilt with horns blaring!
Dogs are welcomed everywhere in France, you will often see dogs under the tables in restaurants. They are well behaved and quiet, as are children accompanying their parents. This is in stark contrast to Ireland where dogs are strictly not allowed in restaurants butchildren are allowed to run riot!
My year in Provence was magical, I made many friends (though not many French ones), improved my French and enjoyed the glorious weather and long hikes up above Monaco. The vegetables and fruit were full of flavour – and decomposed the next day as they were meant to. Bread and cheese and excellent red wine all contributed to a wonderful gastronomic experience (and a few extra pounds). I love France, the French, the language, their way of life, their culture but, all in all, there is no place like home and, returning to this soggy little island I felt I BELONGED and it is this sense of belonging that defines home for me.

Getting the Details Right
Yesterday I attended a signing by Jacqueline Davies for her new middle-grade novel, The Lemonade War. Some other writing-group friends and I prevailed on Jackie to do a second reading even after most young customers had disappeared and the chairs were cleared away. Coming home, I got to thinking about the challenge finding the details of everyday life for kids today.
The Lemonade War was inspired by a lemonade-selling rivalry between two of Jackie's own kids. During the reading, she mentioned how a passing episode that ends poorly for a bike helmet had really happened as well. She even named the perpetrator (so, kid, don't think you're getting away with anything; the grown-ups are onto you).
One of the novels I'm now writing is like Jackie's: set in the contemporary world that its young readers are supposed to recognize as their own. But I don't have kids, so not only am I not forced to know all about today's middle-school society, but I'm somewhat stymied at finding out the gloomy details.
Keeping up with technology is relatively easy because it's so new and obvious. I can pick up that some kids have cell phones and others want them, that the oral report is being replaced by the Powerpoint presentation, and so on.
But what about the minor but telling details of wardrobe? I must take care not to dress my young characters the way I dressed at their age. When I was a boy, all boys' socks were white, tubular, long enough to cover the calf, and striped at the top. The big choice was red stripes or blue stripes or, like the young gentleman to the left, a snazzy combination of both. As for shorts, they were short--hence the name.
Now boys' shorts are actually Capri pants, with extra pockets (for what?), and boys' socks have shrunk to hide inside shoes. Back in my youth, we had little socks, too, but they had pompoms at the back, and only girls wore them. (There does seem to be a conservation law at work here, though. Boys in shorts still bare the same amount of leg; it's just moved ten inches closer to the ground.)
So my hero wears little socks, and when his jeans get wet in the rain, they'll slap coldly against his shins. And he'll have to wear a bike helmet, right? My generation thought those were a good idea--in theory. Now kids actually seem to wear them.
Wrist bands? I grabbed that detail for another character when I met debut novelist Karen Day's son and realized he had more rubber on his arms than my old car had on its tires. Flip-flops? In my youth, kids didn't walk around in flip-flops unless they were actually in Hawaii or carrying a surfboard, but they seem ubiquitous now--and will no doubt spread further as the climate warms. But what other crucial details am I missing?

Guess what Sephora is carrying now??? Aerin fragrances! I am so excited, and you all should be too, because they are such elegant and lovely perfumes. These fragrances were curated by the Aerin brand founder, Aerin Lauder; who if you didn't already know, is the granddaughter of Estée Lauder. I am so in love with her designs. She does some amazing jewelry and even home decor and lighting. You should definitely take a peek at her official website.
Now back to the matter at hand. Something to love about these fragrances other than the fragrance itself, is the bottles. I love the bottle design and presentation. They remind me of Jo Malone bottles, and anything reminiscent of Jo Malone is always a good thing. All of the bottles are a 1.7 oz. size, which takes the guesswork out of which size to order. They are also the same price which is $110. Yes that is steep, but let me be the first to tell you, these fragrances are extremely long-lasting. Some more than others of course, but you will not be disappointed with the longevity.
This fragrance is really the reason why I am writing this post. If you love Jasmine, you will love this fragrance. I have smelled so many other representations of Jasmine in the past, and no other has come close to smelling like pure unadulterated Jasmine as this one. When it comes to floral based fragrances it has to be soft and non cloying. I love Gardenia and white flowers, but in perfumes they tend to come on too strong or are very generic smelling. This smells like someone took a handful of fresh picked Jasmine and pressed the oils out right under your nose! I cannot say enough about it, it's just so beautiful.
This one to me does not smell like pure Lilac, but it still smells lovely. You also get some other floral and green notes. Certainly one of the more longer lasting ones in the collection.
This one has pretty strong sillage as well. It is very musky yet creamy. A very warm scent, but not too sweet as some Amber based fragrances tend to be.
I would describe this as an indecent Rose! The addition of Cognac and ripe berries make this fragrance a not so typical floral. It is sweet, but not overly so. Very feminine and unique.
This is indeed a white floral. Heady but not overpowering. It is soft and fresh with a hint of an aquatic note. Very pretty. I wouldn't say this is a true Gardenia smell, but it comes pretty close.
This one I haven't actually smelled, but I am hoping to get my hands on a sample.
This is the other one that I have not been able to smell, but it is described as a watery green fragrance. I am not so keen on green fragrances, although I love Clinique Calyx.
Have you tried any Aerin fragrances before? Which is your favorite?

(For this past program, we offer two options for purchase: a Homestudy (DVD and written materials) or written materials alone.)
Attorneys, industry executives, regulatory and governmental officials and others involved with new wireless and mobile communication services
The wireless ecosystem now offers customers a full range of communications and information services, ranging from traditional voice and messaging to Internet browsing, video, specialized content, location-based applications, and mobile wallets.
Every day new legal and regulatory issues arise from a continuing proliferation of devices and services. Attorneys working with clients in the wireless industry need to understand how spectrum is being used, how to navigate contending IP claims, how to negotiate deals between applications developers, carriers and device manufacturers, and how to address consumer user concerns that now extend beyond basic consumer protection matters to issues of privacy and security.
This is your chance to interact with and learn from transactional, litigation, and regulatory lawyers, as well as investment bankers, investors and industry executives and consultants, as they address the legal, business and regulatory issues of this rapidly expanding industry.

The campaign, by agency Blue Chip, will be promoted through TV and radio advertising, social media activity, extensive point of sale and a dedicated website, and run across more than 1,900 of Spar's UK stores.
Product coupons will be sent to mobile winners immediately, using digital voucher partner i-movo. Free products and money-off coupons will run across dozens of products including Cadbury's Fingers, Alberto Balsam shampoo, Oreo cone ice-cream, Malibu and Tropicana juice. Every day for six weeks, a draw will determine the winner of the daily iPad Air top prize.
The target profile of 18- to 44-year olds follows research conducted on behalf of Spar, which revealed that, although Spar has high recognition and loyalty from older shoppers, there is scope for significant growth in other areas.
Andy Burt, Spar UK's marketing manager, said: "This is an exciting time for Spar as it is important that we engage with a younger audience. The deployment of mobile vouchers enables us to ensure that we have a secure method of rewarding our customers.
"Real-time reporting also allows us to manage the performance during the campaign. We are confident that the drive will increase footfall into our stores over the coming weeks."

Letters to the Editor
Bring statue back
It continues to mystify as to why Joe Paterno's statue has not been returned to Beaver Stadium.
The NCAA restored the coach's victory total, the full allotment of scholarships and decreed the team eligible for bowl game participation.
So, what's the holdup? Is it money? Let Rodney Erickson chip in. After all, the trustees witlessly and unnecessarily gave him a $100,000 "departure bonus" and he was one of those who signed off on the removal of the statue in the first place.
The university continues to thumb its nose at the 177,000 worldwide members of its alumni association, loyal football fans and faithful donors. (Donations would increase by untold amounts the minute the Paterno statue was put back, a matter obviously too complicated for those in power to understand.)

Fast, simple, paperless: 60 percent of customers register their grid connection with E.ON online
At E.ON's regional utilities Avacon, Bayernwerk, E.DIS and Hansewerk, paper battles have long become a thing of the past. Last year nearly 60 percent of all new power generation plants feeding into the grid were registered online.
For the past year, customers and installation companies have been able to complete the entire process from registration to commissioning of a photovoltaic system quickly, easily and without any paperwork. Since the launch of the online portals, a total of 24,000 transactions have already been processed digitally in Germany. Applications made via a portal are forwarded to a registered installation company which will then make the connection. More than 14,000 installation companies in the network areas of the four regional utilities have already registered with the online portals as recognized and certified service providers.
In addition to commissioning systems, the installation companies can also arrange online for meters to be installed or replaced. Guides explaining how to complete the forms and easy ways of transferring customer data have proven very helpful, as have functions such as the temporary storage of customer orders and a comprehensive status overview of all orders received.
In addition to faster order processing, the online portals offer high user-friendliness and permanent accessibility. Customers and installation companies can apply for the registration and commissioning of grid connections and generation facilities on the companies' websites.
This press release may contain forward-looking statements based on current assumptions and forecasts made by E.ON Group Management and other information currently available to E.ON. Various known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors could lead to material differences between the actual future results, financial situation, development or performance of the company and the estimates given here. E.ON SE does not intend, and does not assume any liability whatsoever, to update these forward-looking statements or to align them to future events or developments.

The reason for my glut of plant facts is that last week ThinkWall was helping Funny How Flowers Do That with a promotional event for the Dutch Flower Council. We were giving away bunches of freshly cut flowers in exchange for tweets and photos of said flowers posted online with the hashtag #FavouriteFlower. The event ran over 3 days and was a great success, lots of people came, many a flower brightened many a day and all the offices in the surrounding area were filled with sneezing as anyone with hay fever was taken completely off guard by the sudden chemical assault.
This idea of giving something away in exchange for a tweet is not new. Marc Jacobs did a similar thing at its pop up store in New York last month whilst, in 2012, Kelloggs' attempt to promote its cereal ended in disaster after hundreds of tweets saying that 'some people are standing on a street corner handing out small bags of special k' unfortunately led to a SWAT team turning up (italics added for emphasis, also I made that last bit up).
There has always been a lot of debate about the value of social media chatter. Since company ROI has always and continues to be measured in shiny shiny gold, any expense that cannot be easily tracked, measured and valued tends to anger the dragons/accountants that sit in the cave/finance dept on a pile of treasure/the event budget.
It may go against the traditional and intrinsic idea of business to trade something valuable (flowers are not cheap) for something as ostensibly free as a tweet. However, the original idea that social media marketing should be free is now long gone due to the fact that so much content now floods onto our screens, competing for our attention, any content, no matter how creative, will be lost in the deluge unless it pays to be promoted during the marketing campaign.
The purpose of social media has always been to connect people and spread conversations and ideas, that is its currency. Although there are now ways of using analytics to track people's movements from when they see your advert to when/if they buy, they are currently the preserve of companies able to spend thousands a month on social media activities.
What is also true is that, most of the time, people will not buy directly after seeing an advert, but may well come back to it weeks or months later. Comparing swapping six petunias for a tweet to company sales two months later is like blaming the fact that you did not get your mum a nice bunch of dahlias for Mothers Day for the reason that, two months later, she 'accidentally' put a red shirt in with your white washing and now you look like candy floss. There may well have been a link between the two and you may have thought you saw her laughing, but you'll never be able to establish direct causation.

The SNP said this year's rebellion by Tory MPs on reform of the House of Lords was confirmation that "Westminster cannot be trusted on constitutional reform". The only way Scots can ensure that the unelected Upper House has no say on Scottish affairs, they say, is to vote Yes to independence in 2014. Oh, and don't listen to all those promises from David Cameron and Alistair Darling that, if Scots are good boys and girls and vote No, Holyrood will be given more tax raising powers and many other goodies. Like Lords reform, this is destined for the long grass of legislative oblivion.
However, it's not entirely true to say that Westminster can't be trusted to deliver constitutional reform – it delivered the Scottish Parliament after all, and has recently passed the Scotland Bill giving Holyrood a share of income taxes, though few economists seem to think this scheme is workable. And with a bit of imagination in Westminster about the Lords, and its place in the shifting sands of the Union, they might be able to kill two constitutional birds with one stone: salvage the UK and give the Upper House a real role in life as an elected Senate.
The problem with the half-way house proposals for reforming the Lords is that no one can work up much enthusiasm for it, not least the voters who find it about as interesting as land reform in Nagorno-Karabakh. The bill, now stalled, provides for an 80% elected Lords with members being elected for 15 year terms. The idea is that this gives the Lords a degree of democratic legitimacy without turning it into a rival to the House of Commons. The Lords would remain a revising chamber of wise and experienced grey heads who would politely censure the Commons that its legislative efforts are mince and need to be re-thought. Like the Dangerous Dogs Act or Tony Blair's attempts to abolish habeas corpus.
But Tory rebels like Jesse Norman say that this is what the present House of Lords does rather well, so why fix what's broken? As well as a club for the descendants of robber barons the Lords has, in recent years, become a last resting place for former government ministers who are appointed peers by the government of the day. Surely these silverbacks are ideal material for the Lords. Elected peers would be drawn from the same gene pool as current Labour and Tory MPs – in other words, inexperienced and ambitious political obsessives out to make a name for themselves.
There's something in this argument of course. Peers like Lord Steel, the former presiding officer of the Scottish parliament, certainly make a valuable contribution to British public life. However, this ignores the vast majority of peers who have only become members of parliament through an accident of birth. The fact that the government is able to let in a few of its favoured sons as a reward for loyal service is hardly justification for retaining the hereditary principle in a 21st century parliament. Democracy has its faults – not least the calibre of people who put themselves up for election – but it is, as Churchill noted, the worst form of government apart from all the others. Really, you cannot justify an unelected chamber on the grounds that the public cannot be trusted to elect sensible representatives.
There is unarguably a role for an upper house or revising chamber. But there is an equally obvious role too, it seems to me, for a legislative body that reflects and represents the changing character of the British Isles. The UK is no longer a unitary state. The Scottish parliament has begun a process that will inexorably lead to the United Kingdom becoming a multinational confederation with increasingly powerful regional parliaments demanding and getting control of their own affairs. The problem that remains is what to do at the centre.
Discussion of reforming Westminster to take account of devolution is generally silenced by Unionists who say: "federalism and division of power is all very well, but you can't have a federation when England, the largest partner in the UK, doesn't want one". Well, perhaps England could now be persuaded. Most English voters, and many English MPs, already regard the House of Commons as essentially an English Parliament and increasingly resent Scottish MPs having a say on English health reform and university tuition fees when English MPs have no corresponding say on such issues in Scotland.
The rational solution is surely to turn the new House of Lords into a Senate elected largely on a regional basis to reflect the new constitutional reality. I've been punting this idea around for some time and I've yet to hear a sensible argument why it shouldn't work. If a Senate works in America, Australia and a host of countries, why not here? Even the SNP might be persuaded, ultimately, to participate. They realise that, after independence, there will be many issues of shared concern to Scotland and England, not least matters of currency and interest rates if Scotland keeps the pound. Alex Salmond has even talked of a "new UK". Well, an autonomous Scotland could have the option of representation in a federal upper house in Westminster, which could also act as a revising chamber for Holyrood.
This is a real cake-and-eat-it solution to the West Lothian Question and many other convoluted constitutional queries no one's thought up a name for yet. You could give the Scots as much independence as they want – which is more than they have now but not full separation – and keep the Union together. It would breathe life into the moribund United Kingdom. The Upper House would be given a proper job, a real role in life. And not just a reason for scrapping in the dorm.

Quantum Javascript Bug
So I've got some js I've written to update a couple of
<select> lists in a form, and it was all working fine for me (under Safari.) John happened to mention it wasn't working for him under Firefox, so I fired up Firefox and took a look. Could reproduce it perfectly, changing the first popup was populating the second one, but then wasn't selecting the right value from the list.
Having no idea what was happened I figured I'd enable firebug and watch it execute to figure out what was happening. Enabled firebug, reloaded the page, selected from the first popup… and voila! It updated the second one and selected the correct row! WTF!!!
Turned firebug off and it didn't work, turned it back on and it worked. Figured it might be something buggy in the Firefox 3.0.5 js runtime, so I grabbed a copy of the new beta 3.5 and tried it in there—still failed to update the page as it should.
Then started poking around the javascript code, the function that was seemingly failing to run was being triggered by a setTimeout() call set to 1 second. We figured it might be the timing causing it, so started playing around with the time, tried anything from ½ a second up to 4 seconds but still no joy in firefox with firebug turned off.
Then John went looking for the javascript errors in firefox (with firebug off) and discovered that it was throwing an error because
window.console didn't exist. All of a sudden it made perfect sense! Safari has
window.console.log() for writing to the console log, as does firebug. But of course firefox without firebug doesn't!
So the function was just exiting on that error. It was very weird initially to have it work perfectly as soon as the developer tools were enabled!

COMMERCE CITY — For 15 years, the Rapids played in the MLS pack, pushing toward the league's elite for a chance at a championship.
For the first time Saturday, Colorado lined up as the chased. The MLS champion Rapids opened their season with the "defending" tag, dispatching the expansion Portland Timbers 3-1.
But if the Rapids are to stay atop the MLS table, they'll do it with the same look from the last go-round. Colorado's starting lineup Saturday night was unchanged from the look that won the title in November.
"We have an advantage, being the unit we have," Colorado striker Omar Cummings said. "It's a benefit for us to have the same team we had that worked so well last year."
Fortunately for the Rapids, that lineup picked up where it left off, feeding off a top-side tandem of Cummings and Conor Casey that was the best duo in the league a year ago, and looks to be among the best again. They combined for a goal, two assists and two other good looks at scores.
Cummings was sensational in the first half. In the eighth minute, he weaseled out of a trap at the corner flag, strong-arming through two defenders for a break down the endline. His low cross deflected out for a wide-open Jeff Larentowicz goal.
And Cummings' unassisted goal in the 29th minute, after he sneaked behind the defense, shot, then stole a rebound from Portland goalkeeper Adin Brown for a score, made him the first player in MLS history to tally a goal in four consecutive season- opening games.
"We have our strengths," Cummings said. "We're gonna play the way we play. And we're gonna keep doing it until it breaks."
MLS champs rarely repeat — only D.C. United in 1996-97 and Houston in 2006-07 have won consecutively in the 15-year history of the league. That leaves the Rapids a tall task, one they ably responded to in their opener.
Colorado has just two losses in its past 11 regular-season games. And the Rapids have tallied at least three goals in six of their past eight regular-season home games.
"Early in a season, it's important to find that rhythm," Colorado coach Gary Smith said. "Are they at the same level they were at in the Cup final? No. But we'll improve."
Colorado went through pains to keep its lineup intact between seasons, losing defender Anthony Wallace in the MLS expansion draft, only to reel him right back from Portland in a trade for cash.
"We'll continue to play the way we do with the team we have," Smith said. "We have enough quality in our group to open some tight doors this season."

Christmas came early for Gogo Elizabeth Dlamini of Mhlabubovu yesterday as she received a brand new 2 bedroom house courtesy of the Sincephetelo Motor Vehicle Accidents Fund (SMVAF) and His Majesty's Correctional Services.
This was after the two entities joined forces to build the elderly Dlamini a house through the facilitation of Lobamba Lomdzala Member of Parliament Marwick Khumalo, whose jurisdiction Dlamini falls under.
Khumalo, when making his remarks said that Gogo Elizabeth had long been living at the constituency premises, since her stick and mud house had been deteriorating and would fall to the ground anytime soon hence she feared for her life.
"When Gogo Dlamini came and told us about her plight, we surveyed the place and indeed saw that Dlamini was in dire need of proper accommodation. Given her age and that she falls under our constituency, we approached partners who could assist us making Dlamini's dream a reality and today we are witnessing the handover of a new home thanks to the joint venture between Sincephetelo MVA Fund and the Correctional Services," he said.
Khumalo added that the Fund offered the building materials to erect the house, whilst the Correctional Services offered the skilled labour to build the house from the ground until its completion.
SMVAF Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Helmon Vilakati when addressing the gathering said that the organisation was glad to play an assistive role through its Corporate Social Investment (CSI) policy, especially where the elderly are concerned.
"We all know that His Majesty's Government takes care of the elderly and we are humbled to be assisting government in their role of caring for them. We know that the elderly possess knowledge that money cannot buy and it is therefore important that we take care of them as they hold all the information on the history of our nation," he said.
Vilakati then handed over some food items to Gogo Dlamini and wished her well as she moved into her new house.
His Majesty's Correctional Services Commissioner Phindile Dlamini, who represented Commissioner General Mzuthini Ntshangase, said that they were also grateful to play a contributing role in the lives of the elderly in the nation.
"We would like to thank the Lobamba Lomdzala Inkhundla for approaching us. Part of our mandate through our rehabilitative process as an organisation is to upskill our inmates with skills that may assist them find employment once they have been freed from the correctional centre. Initiatives such as these assist our inmates acquire the necessary hands on experience and we would like to urge organisations and companies to make use of our students once they have been released back into society as they will have obtained all the necessary experience," she said.

Our family is at the center of our personal universe. Most people would do almost anything for the sake of their family. That includes protecting them from known dangers and harm. This becomes increasing difficult, at times, because we live in an open society where we share the same public places as violent criminals like at shopping centers.

This workshop offers opportunities to learn about and explore professional development tools and resources developed by a community of practice, SALTISE (Supporting Active Learning & Technological Innovation in Studies of Education). Growing out of a consortium between faculty at five Quebec post-secondary educational institutions, SALTISE has been expanding its value to the larger educational community by focusing its efforts on fostering sustainable research-practice partnerships, alongside building capacity of the community itself. In doing so, it has brought instructors and professional development staff together with educational researchers and designers to develop a curated collection of resources grounded in both learning principles and authentic implementations of evidence-based pedagogical practices. The goal of the workshop is to explore how these new types of resources can play a central role as boundary objects that afford more effective conversations between practitioners and researchers alike. We will discuss how such efforts by the SALTISE community might become part of the re-imagining of professional development as well as reflect on the processes involved in designing these resources themselves.
With Elizabeth (Liz) Charles, Dawson College, Montreal.

State officials believe the rest of the old Platte River bridge south of Fremont will be gone within the next month, and the remaining lanes of the new bridge will open next spring.
"I'm pleased to report that the U.S. Highway 77 Platte River bridge expansion and improvement project continues to move toward full completion," State Sen. Charlie Janssen said in an email to the Tribune.
"The lead contractor finished the temporary platform that will be used to remove the remainder of the former Platte River bridge. Removal is expected to be finished by early December," Janssen wrote.
"The tangent section of the temporary bridge is out there," said Micky Jacobs, project manager for the Nebraska Department of Roads. "They still have to put what are called 'finger bridges' out to facilitate the removal of the existing piers. There are five existing piers that still need to be removed."
Work was under way on one of the finger bridges on Monday.
"That will facilitate the removal of two of the four remaining girders. Then they'll work on removal of two piers," he said.
Those finger bridges will then be removed and others will be installed to allow removal of the last two girders.
Due to environmental regulations, workers have to be out of the water by Feb. 1, but Jacobs anticipates being finished in the river well ahead of that.
"They're working 50 hours a week. ... I myself personally believe, at the rate they're going now, we're looking at the middle of December, they'll be completely out of the water and hauling the bridges to another project," he said.
Work began a year ago to remove the south half of the Motter Memorial Bridge using a temporary bridge stretching about halfway across the river. Temporary bridges are allowed to go only 800 feet from either bank at a time in order to keep the other half of the river open.
"Last year the difficulty was that a huge amount of water came in," Jacobs said. "There was a bunch of rain in Colorado, and the southern channel of the Platte sent us a lot of water. This year we have the usual fluctuations associated with the Platte River, but it hasn't caused any issues with the contractor."
Concrete work, meanwhile, is moving right along, Jacobs said.
"I would say we're looking at about Oct. 20 they should be done with the concrete work and ready for the asphalt shoulder," he said.
"I know people are going to get disappointed when they see the concrete and the shoulder done, but it doesn't look like we'll be able to open any additional lanes this year, primarily due to the temperatures that are going to come in with the season," he said. "The striping is very temperature sensitive ... that is going to be the controlling factor.
"Plus," he added, "we've got some grading to do, which can't get started until the temporary bridge is totally removed (after the old bridge has been removed). When the temporary bridge is out, then the grader can come in and start shaping the north bank. We have to build a detention cell there for the contaminants that come off the bridge deck and things like that, but if the ground's frozen they can't grade, so that might take into next year also."
The two northbound lanes of the new bridge opened to two-way traffic in July 2013. Officials anticipate the remaining lanes opening next spring.
"The Nebraska Department of Roads informs me that completion of the entire project is expected by mid to late May," Janssen said. "This is welcome news as it would mean the project will finish eight months ahead of schedule."
"Our project completion date, by plan, was Jan. 31, 2016," Jacobs said. "Right now we have 92 percent by dollar value of the project done with only 69 percent of the time used. We're doing pretty good."
Workers will move the "taper" section from the Boulevard Avenue intersection further south to reopen the intersection as soon as possible, Jacobs said.
"We're going to move that out onto the project so people have four lanes all the way up to Boulevard Avenue," he explained. "People have been really tolerant with us there, because we had to close that intersection off and we had to prohibit some turns just for public safety. We want to get that intersection opened as badly as anybody, so as soon as we can we're going to move that lane closure.
"People will see some action on the bridge itself in the next couple weeks," Jacobs said.
The Roads Department's bridge division and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are using a section of the bridge as a "test plot" for different kinds of deck overlays.
There is also a Saunders County project going on nearby to repair County Road Y/Riverview Road from just west of U.S. 77 for two miles west to the Whitetail Run golf course.
While the county project and bridge work are not directly related, Jacobs warned motorists to be cautious in the area.
"It is going to be congested there. If people can use a little extra care coming through there, we always appreciate that," he said.
Cramer and Associates Inc. of Grimes, Iowa, is the contractor for the project, which began in November 2010.

While might be extremely popular at this time, don't forget ignore another plentiful fall crop: sweet taters. These giant veggies consist of Vit A and fiber and also have a large number of uses, so yams quality recipes ought to be in your radar. Because of their starchy, easy-to-work-with texture, sweet taters could be converted into fritters which make for any satisfying dinner.
Should you not have oat flour available, grind 3/4 cup folded oats inside a mixer or blender until they achieve a flour-like consistency. When the flour is created, measure again to be certain you've 1/2 cup from the flour.
The Greek yogurt aioli is optional, however the sourness from the yogurt nicely balances the sweet tastes from the taters and red-colored pepper. The patties may also be converted into hamburgers if one makes them big enough. Give a wholegrain bun and you're ready for any fall cookout.
Makes about 12 fritters
1 large yams
1/2 red-colored bell pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup oat flour
1 teaspoon Italian spice blend
1 clove minced garlic clove
1 individual-sized container of non-body fat plain Greek yogurt
1 bunch cilantro
1/2 lime
Pierce the yams having a fork and microwave for 5 minutes, or until soft. As the yams is cooking, food process or blend the red-colored pepper until it forms small pieces. Don't over blend, or it is liquid. When the yams is completed, scoop the insides right into a bowl and mash it. Add some diced pepper, oat flour, and Italian seasoning. Mix well.
Turn the stove to medium warmth and coat a pan with non-stick spray. Scoop out tablespoon- or palm-sized levels of the fritter mixture (for the way large you would like them) and flatten into patties. Prepare the patties for around 5 minutes on every side, or until browned.
To help make the Greek yogurt sauce, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic clove, and juice from half the lime. Mince your preferred quantity of cilantro and stir in to the mixture. Serve using the fritters.

About- Objectives
The overall objective of CRISP is to enhance existing security evaluation and certification schemes by offering an innovative evaluation methodology that integrates the security, trust, efficiency and freedom infringement assessment dimensions. The proposed scheme will be based on a taxonomy encompassing a variety of security products and services across applications. It will take into account the varying roles of a diverse stakeholder community including manufacturers, regulatory and certification bodies, data protection authorities and end users and engage with each group to gather insights to help avoid acceptance problems that challenge current schemes.
In relation to this overall objective CRISP will:
- Create a taxonomy of security products and systems, concepts of operations, application areas, performance and set out criteria for comparing security products and systems.
- Provide an historical perspective on security standards and certification in Europe and analyse the state of the art in security standards, certification and accreditation at the Member State, regional and international level.
- Identify and determine the role of different stakeholders, gauge their views on the challenges affecting security certification and determine requirements for a harmonised EU-wide approach.
- Examine the core dimensions (such as security, trust, efficiency, freedom infringement) of security product certification and present the requirements for enhancing existing evaluation and certification schemes.
- Present a certification methodology, policy and procedures for security products, test-drive, evaluate and refine it.
- Present a roadmap for adopting the proposed certification scheme and work towards enhancing acceptance of the new certification measures.

Livestock transactions and movements
Why do we need to record livestock movements?
Recording livestock movements ensures treatments and exposure to food safety hazards are traceable. If a food safety issue occurs and livestock are not fully traceable, the source of the problem may be impossible to identify. All livestock needs to be fully traceable to allow a fast and efficient response. This will minimise any potential harm to people or animals, and protect the reputation of Australian red meat. Our customers expect our product to be fully traceable.
How can producers meet this LPA requirement?
To comply with this requirement regarding livestock transactions and movements, livestock owners must:
- Record all livestock purchases and sales
- Keep copies of all LPA NVDs
- Record the vendor's name, address and PIC for all introduced livestock
- Record livestock details/description
- Keep records of animals purchased while within a withholding period (WHP)/export slaughter interval (ESI)
- When moving livestock between two or more of their own properties complete an LPA NVD if those properties have separate PICs
- Regularly review the checklist
What must be done with regard to NLIS?
The NLIS is Australia's system for identification and traceability of livestock. Together with the LPA program and LPA NVDs, it forms part of Australia's red meat integrity system. It enables cattle, sheep and goats to be traced from property of birth to slaughter for:
- Biosecurity
- Meat safety
- Product integrity
- Market access
All livestock movements onto or off a PIC must be recorded on the NLIS database in accordance with NLIS requirements. Established to enhance our ability to track livestock during disease and food incidents, NLIS provides the information that maximises market access for Australian red meat globally.

Another fun night filled with intensive giggles and tears. Okay fine, I was the only emotional one with tears but yeah you get the drill. *embarrassed* Went there straight after work and ingeniously kept my favourite co-ord in the car to change because I didn't want to show up as dull as a dishwasher.
Had dinner in Koh Sa Mui @ Gamuda Walk. Ordered basil fried rice alongside with a cup of hot lemongrass drink and dang was it delicious! I haven't tasted Thai food this Thai since my previous trip to Thailand. Priced at RM15.80 before tax and would definitely recommend to anyone who loves authentic Thai food.
We unintentionally dressed in matchy-matchy outfits which could totally pull off as another Pre-Hen's night or a casual spring wedding. Goodness gracious. It wasn't an easy night because we had to fake laugh, pose for 3 cameras whilst finding our own slimming angle to hide the food baby. Come on ladies, you know that's a challenge! Funny how it has only been 2 weeks since I've met them and is already eagerly waiting for the next meet up like a giraffe.
Thank you for reading and Happy Friday! :)

Eli Lilly outlines financials, has 70 drugs in R&D
(7:00 AM ET) TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Eli Lilly & Co., LLY, +0.76% the Indianapolis health-care firm, said on Thursday that consistent with its estimates, it expects to post at least $3 billion of net income and at least $20 billion of revenue a year from 2011 through 2014, "with a return to growth after 2014 fueled by new-product launches." Looking at 2011, a survey of analysts by FactSet Research estimates $4.72 billion of profit on $23.44 billion of revenue. Earnings per share should drop in 2012 from 2011, increase in 2013 and then drop again in 2014, Lilly said. At a New York meeting with investors, Lilly plans to say that its research-and-development pipeline includes 70 medicines, including 33 in Phases II and III trials. Lilly expects at least 10 potential new medications in Phase III trials by the end of 2011.

Barry Callebaut revenue up 1.6%, volume up 7.3%
(1:44 AM ET) TEL AVIV (MarketWatch) -- Barry Callebaut AG BYCBF, +2.65% (CH:BARN), the Zurich chocolate producer, reported on Thursday that fiscal nine-month revenue rose 1.6% as it shipped 7.3% more chocolate products.

Volume reached 1.05 million metric tons from 975,000. Emerging markets and what Callebaut calls cocoa products for strategic partners led the growth. The strategic-partner segment involves Callebaut selling semi-finished products like cocoa powder, liquor, butter and beans to key customers under long-term outsourcing and partnership accords. Looking ahead, the company expects prices for raw materials, particularly cocoa, sugar and milk powder, "will remain volatile and at high levels." And despite the economic uncertainties of rising inflation in emerging markets, Europe's debt crisis and the approaching end of the U.S. monetary-easing program, the company expects the world chocolate market to grow more than 2%.

Promise Despite Overreach in Marshall Islands v. United States
Katherine Maddox Davis | 30 Emory Int'l L. Rev. 2063 (2016)
When it comes to accountability for treaty obligations, the International Court of Justice has not proved as impactful as its founders hoped. Given that shortcoming, domestic courts' role in determining treaty obligations is critical. This Essay contends that treaty parties may have hope in federal court for declaratory relief regarding American treaty obligations. The inspiration comes from Marshall Islands v. United States, currently before the Ninth Circuit. The Marshall Islands sued the United States for breach of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty Article VI, requesting declaratory and injunctive relief. This Essay deconstructs the Marshall Islands' strategy, pronounces its impending demise, and reimagines how the strategy could succeed if limited to declaratory relief. When a treaty party sufficiently pleads injury-in-fact in a proper venue, the Essay posits that redress, political question, and non-self-executing treaty status may not bar a declaratory judgment.Read more »
The First Amendment and the Claim That Muslim Emigrants Be Denied Entrance into the United States
Vincent J. Samar | 30 Emory Int'l L. Rev. 2092 (2016)
Professor Vincent J. Samar examines whether the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prevents the United States government from denying people entry into the United States based on religion alone in light of recent terrorist attacks around the world. Specifically, Professor Samar evaluates the practical implications of the present claim that potential Muslim emigrants into the United States can be denied entry based on religion alone. The Essay considers the United States' obligations under international human rights law to protect both the freedom of immigration and the freedom of religion, as well as the United States' compelling interest to protect national security. Professor Samar concludes that such a policy cannot be justified under the First Amendment Establishment Clause, as well the United States' expressed international commitments to preserving international human rights.Read more »
Economists as Arbitrators
J. Gregory Sidak | 30 Emory Int'l L. Rev. 2105 (2016)
In this Essay, J. Gregory Sidak examines the use of economists as arbitrators or tribunal-appointed neutral experts in international arbitration in effort to raise the standard of party-expert testimony and expedite the determination of quantum. Mr. Sidak argues that either approach would expedite arbitration by causing parties to submit more realistic estimates of quantum and to explain in a more systematic and helpful manner the robustness of those estimates and the assumptions underlying them. Gregory Sidak draw insights from his experience as a court-appointed neutral economic expert on damages for Judge Richard Posner in two patent litigations. Sidak concludes that both the selection of an arbitrator with economic expertise and the tribunal's appointment of a neutral economic expert would create greater benefits than costs for the parties to the arbitration.Read more »
Did Israel Violate International Humanitarian Law During Operation Protective Edge?
Pat Andriola | 30 Emory Int'l L. Rev. 2001 (2015)
In this essay, Pat Andriola addresses the legality of Israel's Operation Protective Edge launched against Hamas in the Gaza territory in the summer of 2014. The essay analyzes whether the legal action taken by Israel comports with customary international humanitarian law, specifically, the principles of distinction and proportionality, and whether there is in fact international law governing Israel's actions and use of force. Pat Andriola concludes that Israel's actions were governed by international law, as evident by Israel's attempts to warn civilians of incoming attacks. The essay continues to conclude that Israel most likely did not comply with the proportionality requirement, as the threat of Israeli deaths as a result of the Hamas rocket attacks was relatively minor.Read more »
Enhanced Interrogation, the Report on Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation, and the Return of Kriegsraison
Benjamin Farley | 30 Emory Int'l L. Rev. 2019 (2015)
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence released the Report on Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation in December 2014 detailing the use of enhanced interrogation techniques by the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Defenders of enhanced interrogation often justify the use of such techniques based on military necessity and efficacy. In this essay, Benjamin Farley argues that by relying on military necessity, defenders of enhanced interrogation techniques are actually relying on kriegsraison - a long-discredited military doctrine that holds that the laws of war may be overcome in the face of extreme danger or simply to achieve the object of the war. The essay examines the clear and continuing rejection of kriegsraison at international law and traces the development of arguments justifying enhanced interrogation. Benjamin Farley urges for the rejection of any arguments based upon the doctrine of kriegsraison and upon using torture as an effective means of warfare.Read more »
Reaffirming the Role of Human Rights in a Time of "Global" Armed Conflict
Jonathan Horowitz | 30 Emory Int'l L. Rev. 2041 (2015)
Jonathan Horowitz reviews the notion that there can be a "global" non-international armed conflict ("global NIAC") under international law in which an enemy fighter could be targeted by the state that is the victim of an attack by non-state actors anywhere he or she travels in the world. The essay highlights several consequences of recognizing such a global NIAC, including incidental civilian harm and destruction of civilian property, to conclude that the very existence of a global NIAC violates international law, particularly as it pertains to the rights of the territorial state. As a result, states subjects to attack must rely upon international law concepts other than a global NIAC to justify their extraterritorial use of force. The essay details several alternative legal avenues that would be permissible under international law that states may use to defend themselves from violent non-state groups.Read more »
