Thanks for the amazing giveaway. Though I have an embarrassing confession. I accidentally pressed 'enter' when I was only half-way through filling-out the form. I entered again. So you'll have to separate forms filled out by me. Sorry. Total accident. So you know, delete the incomplete one? Sorry again.

The Class by Laurent Cantet at Sunday BC, on Sunday 24th of January 2016 [fr]
Do not miss screening of the widely-acclaimed movie The Class, winner of the Palme D'or at Cannes in 2008, programmed in the framework of Sunday BC (Broadway Circuit's BC Sunday program shows classic films every weekend) this Sunday 24th of January.
The Class by Robin Campillo and Laurent Cantet, 2008.
Francois and his fellow teachers prepare for a new year at a high school in a tough neighborhood. Armed with the best intentions, they brace themselves to not let discouragement stop them from trying to give the best education to their students. Cultures and attitudes often clash in the classroom, a microcosm of contemporary France. As amusing and inspiring as the teenaged students can be, their difficult behavior can still jeopardize any teacher's enthusiasm for the low-paying job. Francois insists on an atmosphere of respect and diligence. Neither stuffy nor severe, his extravagant frankness often takes the students by surprise. But his classroom ethics are put to the test when his students begin to challenge his methods...
One movie, one book
The Class is a 2008 French drama film directed by Laurent Cantet. Its original French title is Entre les murs, which translates literally to "Between the walls" or "Within the walls". It is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by François Bégaudeau. The novel is a semi-autobiographical account of Bégaudeau's experiences as a French language and literature teacher in a middle school in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, particularly illuminating his struggles with "problem children" Esmerelda (Esmeralda Ouertani), Khoumba (Rachel Regulier), and Souleymane (Franck Keïta). The film stars Bégaudeau himself in the role of the teacher.

The every-day afternoon tea table is familiar to everyone; there is not the slightest difference in its service whether in the tiny bandbox house of the newest bride, or in the drawing-room of Mrs. Worldly of Great Estates, except that in the little house the tray is brought in by a woman—often a picture in appearance and appointment—instead of a butler with one or two footmen in his wake. In either case a table is placed in front of the hostess. A tea-table is usually of the drop-leaf variety because it is more easily moved than a solid one. There are really no "correct" dimensions; any small table is suitable. It ought not to be so high that the hostess seems submerged behind it, nor so small as to be overhung by the tea tray and easily knocked over. It is usually between 24 and 26 inches wide and from 27 to 36 inches long, or it may be oval or oblong. A double-decked table that has its second deck above the main table is not good because the tea tray perched on the upper deck is neither graceful nor convenient. In proper serving, not only of tea but of cold drinks of all sorts, even where a quantity of bottles, pitchers and glasses need space, everything should be brought on a tray and not trundled in on a tea-wagon!
A cloth must always be first placed on the table, before putting down the tray. The tea cloth may be a yard, a yard and a half, or two yards square. It may barely cover the table, or it may hang half a yard over each edge. A yard and a quarter is the average size. A tea cloth can be colored, but the conventional one is of white linen, with little or much white needlework or lace, or both.
On this is put a tray big enough to hold everything except the plates of food. The tray may be a massive silver one that requires a footman with strong arms to lift it, or it may be of Sheffield or merely of effectively lacquered tin. In any case, on it should be: a kettle which ought to be already boiling, with a spirit lamp under it, an empty tea-pot, a caddy of tea, a tea strainer and slop bowl, cream pitcher and sugar bowl, and, on a glass dish, lemon in slices. A pile of cups and saucers and a stack of little tea plates, all to match, with a napkin (about 12 inches square, hemstitched or edged to match the tea cloth) folded on each of the plates, like the filling of a layer cake, complete the paraphernalia. Each plate is lifted off with its own napkin. Then on the tea-table, back of the tray, or on the shelves of a separate "curate," a stand made of three small shelves, each just big enough for one good-sized plate, are always two, usually three, varieties of cake and hot breads.

Going freelance in training or HR – how much to charge
With organisations laying staff off, HR and training are no exception to potential job losses. This leaves many to think about going freelance. Knowing how much to charge is one challenge. Often people in the consulting and freelance world undervalue their services, and equally, purchasers are increasingly unrealistic about what they expect to pay.
Some time ago I was asked to present to a local CIPD group about 'going freelance' and in the course of that preparation, it highlighted some important facts that all freelancers should be aware of.
When setting your daily rate, you need to look at the wider picture rather than just a recovery of your 'old salary'
Let's do some simple maths…
There are 52 weeks a year – you will want 3-4 weeks leave – that leaves 48 working weeks.
You need to account for admin – tax returns, marketing etc, this will leave you with 2-3 days to work a week – so that is 48*3= 144 working days. Marketing effort should not be underestimated – this included all unpaid time doing proposals, visits etc.
Now – rather than charge 'by the hour' and all of the timekeeping required to prove it – charge by the 1/2 or full day. Your market space and the way you deliver your services will dictate if this is possible or not.
So if you want an income of UP TO:
- 100k – that is 100,000/144 or 695 a day
- 50k – 350 a day
- 25k – that is 175 a day
If you are going to charge by the hour, remember that you need to cover other time you cannot sell – for example, a one-hour meeting means you cannot sell that day as a full day. Also invoicing for 1 hour of work takes the same effort as invoicing to 10 days.. so the cost of that must be taken into account.
Hourly charging
If you are looking to do hourly advice/ guidance, then charge for a package – say 50 hours over a year and invoice monthly. then all you need to do is keep a record of time used. The client can always add time if they need it. This is better for you and them in terms of cash-flow. professionals will charge upwards of £100 (UKP) per hour – this is only £800 per day – don't undercut too much (putting the competition into a war on price will just undermine the industry and make your business unsustainable – look what happened in the IT training sector – encourage people to buy on quality and service) – value yourself and what you can offer.
You get the idea – remember of course that you will now need to pay for any training you need, equipment, internet connections etc – so these can easily mount up – do not undersell your self – set your price and be proud of it!

Alteration Training is a quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Abhuki at the Faregyl Inn or Athragar at the Chorrol Mages Guild offer this quest, with an Alteration skill of 70 or more.
For this quest the Hero must breathe underwater for six minutes (three hours game time). Since Argonians can breathe underwater, they get this training for free. Spells or potions of Water Breathing or permanent Water Breathing items such as Fin Gleam helm or the ring from the quest "Go Fish" can help with this quest.
|Journal Entry
To learn more about Alteration, I must find Tooth-in-the-Sea, who lives north of Bravil, near Niben Bay.
Tooth-in-the-Sea has told me I must prove myself; I need to meet him out in Niben Bay during the day.
I must remain with Tooth-in-the-Sea for three consecutive hours if I am to prove myself worthy of his training.
Tooth-in-the-Sea has agreed to teach me what he knows about Alteration magic.
Tooth-in-the-Sea is dead, making it impossible to further my training in the skill of Alteration.

For an unforgettable golf experience, the Mabel Lake Golf and Country Club adjacent to the resort offers a challenge for all skill levels. Designed by renowned course architect Les Furber, this par 36, regulation size 9 hole golf course boasts 4 sets of tees with fairways winding through mature forests, expansive transition areas, rock walls, challenging ponds and paved cart trails surrounded by a picturesque mountain range.
Now take a look at the challenging, picturesque and unique golf holes waiting to be played, or book your Tee Time online!
Hole 1
Our opening par 5 will challenge and impress you as you begin your journey around Mabel Lake Golf and Country Club. This hole demands a well placed tee shot up the left side of the fairway opening you up for your second shot around the dog leg to a sloping fairway.
As you approach the green be sure to take enough club to find the proper tier on this double green. Smile and pat yourself on the back if you have avoided the large greenside bunker and the right side as it is one of Mabel Lake's smallest hazards.
Hole 2
This mid-length par 4 is a visual illusion as you stand on the second tee box. This sharp dog-leg right features an expansive transition area all the way up the right hand side. Aim your tee ball left of the 150 yard marker or the white house through the fairway.
For your approach take an extra club into the green but beware of the out of bounds over the back cart path.
Hole 3
One of our many signature holes. Take a club off the tee that will leave your favourite yardage to our elevated green. Avoid BC's largest bunker on the right side of the tee. An extra club is a good idea.
A friendly drop area is located at the green for any golfer whose ball should find the environmental area. No entry is permitted.
Hole 4
The shortest but most demanding of the par 3's. If the pin is in the back take an extra club. Any missed shot will funnel off the hill and down to the hole.
A drop area is there for anyone who misses and ends up in the environmental area to the right.
Hole 5
This "L" Shaped par 5 is the biggest risk reward hole on the golf course. The longer hitter may be tempted to cut the corner but out of bounds left and the largest waste bunker in BC through the fairway may make you think twice.
A smart shot out to the 250 yd. stick gives the golfer a clear view down to the green.
Hole 6
Be mindful of the pin on this hole as the right club choice to each different pin position is imperative. Avoid the deep waste bunker on the right.
Good news!! After a bad hole, the concession (refreshing beverages etc.) is right behind the green.
Hole 7
A tight fairway landing area between two transition areas will require an accurate tee shot. A short second will place you on the challenging double green.
Hole 8
A precise tee shot will be a must to avoid the transition area and forest surrounding the putting surface.
Hole 9
Take your pick as this is another signature hole. This finishing hole demands a long straight tee shot to a rolling fairway. A smart lay-up to avoid both of the ponds is a must.
If your ball finds the green before it finds the water, smile and wave to the patrons on the patio.

His supplication when he was aggrieved
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah! Look at me attentively with the eyes, which never sleep, and
help me with the power, which is never subdued, and forgive me by
Your Grace. O Lord! When You are my hope I can never be destroyed.
O Lord! You are far greater and above to the one whom I fear, I seek
success from Allah and I turn through the means of Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.) the messenger of Allah (peace be on him and his progeny). O
the sufficient and the protector of Prophet Ibrahim and O the one to save
Moosa from the clutches of PHAROH, save me from these problems.
Allah is my nourisher and I do not ascribe a partner to Him. Sufficient is
He as a nourisher for all other nourishers, the Creator for all the
creations and the one to stop from prohibited things. Allah is sufficient
except Whom there no God and one on Whom I rely. He is the Lord of
the great throne.

Your goal is to guide your 'box' from start-point to end-point. The catch? You can only move in the four cardinal directions and you will only be stopped once striking an object. Don't worry, none of the other objects move or can hurt you, but that will hardly make your job any easier. As pure puzzle solving game with 30 levels, this one isn't the most innovative game you'll play this week, but it could very well be one of the most mind-bending.

Business Models of Non-Profit Organizations
Business model is a concept that has attracted attention of late. A business model is composed of an offering model (target market, value proposition, channel, customer bonding strategy and revenue model) and an operating model (value chain, resources and processes, complementors, configuration and cost).
Today it is no longer adequate for a functional manager to be a specialist. He/she must understand the bigger picture: both the offering and the operating model of the business model concept. The offering model is where revenues can be sourced while the operating model is where activities and infrastructures will result in cost. An organization simply needs to view these framework via these two lenses when they want to increase profit and growth for their firm.
In 2004, former Johnson & Johnson ASEAN president Ding Salvador and myself launched the Markprof Foundation Inc. We wanted to do our share in training future marketing leaders of the Philippines. We wanted to introduce our own methodologies and systems borne out of our personal experiences and form an exclusive networking club in marketing with like-minded individuals. We also wanted to give equal chance to outstanding student leaders whose parents did not have the means to enroll them in expensive upscale schools, with Markprof acting as a resume equalizer.
The result is the annual search and the seven-weekend training bootcamp for the Top 25 Marketing Management Trainees of the Philippines. We celebrated its tenth anniversary last December 7, 2013, when the latest batch graduated at the new Globe Towers at BGC. To date, Markprof has graduated some 250 alumni now spread in different companies like Unilever, Nestle, Globe, Del Monte, Glaxo, Nielsen, McCann, Nielsen, Splash, P&G, J&J, Boston Consulting Group and many more – not just in the Philippines but in many companies in Asia. Indeed, the network has grown and continues to grow.
Initially funded with a joint P1 million donation from Ding Salvador and my company, Mansmith and Fielders Inc., and supported with major corporate donors, the revenue and operating models have since been innovated on as some of our young alumni took over the board some years ago. Today, the main revenue source of Markprof, the first and only alumni-run volunteer training organization in marketing, is from the Markprof Godparents Program where busy marketing executives who can not actively be involved donate P8,000 each to help fund the annual program. Thanks to the magic of social media like Facebook, it makes fundraising a lot easier, clear results are shared faster for better appreciation of sponsors and benefactors, on the benefits of supporting the training of the country's next batch of marketing leaders.
The operating cost of Markprof, on the other hand, has been revised with the enthusiastic inclusion of corporate knowledge partners who host one of seven Saturday training sessions of Markprof. This move also helps these knowledge partners increase their company awareness as an ideal employer among the 25 outstanding graduating students who are screened by over 100 marketing practitioners from some 700 applicants yearly – a win-win approach for both parties.
With the latest events in Philippine politics, particularly the pork barrel scam as well as the typhoon disasters that have made companies apportion their donations budget to relief and rehabilitation efforts, NGOs and other non-profit organization will clearly be more challenged in their fundraising efforts.
Foster (et.al 2009) noted how "nonprofit leaders are much more sophisticated about creating programs than they are about funding their organizations…. The nonprofit world rarely engages in equally clear and succinct conversations about an organization's long- term funding strategy. That is because the different types of funding that fuel nonprofits have never been clearly defined." Foster's research revealed that the biggest (or more successful) non profit groups in the US have developed the capability to target a specific source of funding that is considered a "good match" between the organization and the partner company.
Clearly, like-minded individuals in the marketing industry have seen and appreciated the benefits of training future leaders and this has sustained Markprof for a decade, hopefully with enough momentum to spare, for yet another ten (or more) years.

My friend Wendy, owner of CIO Services, used to do a lot of tech support. Although she now focuses more on consulting, writing and speaking, she told me about an old tagline that always generated business.
"When you're ready to throw your computer out the window - give me a call."
It's funny. It's memorable. And it captures the common pain of computer frustration. Think about it: How many people have, at one point, wanted to throw their computer out the window?
Wendy told me that people ALWAYS called back after she said that tagline. And although tech support wasn't exactly the main part of her businesses, it certainly helped open the door! (Or window, as it were.)
Here's a great article from Ibiz Tips about taglines and personal branding.

"The choice must be yours . . ."
"Alice, you cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours, because when you step out to face that creature, you will step out alone." - The White Queen
- Alice in Wonderland
When I first saw this film, this scene stood out to me above all others. For years I put pressure on myself, believing that the pressure was from the people around me, but it wasn't. People don't make choices for you. You make the choice yourself. And if you believe that people control you, then you allow them to do so. I have put pressure on myself for too long, and I have not listened to my own heart. I have avoided those important questions : "Who are you?" and "What do you want?".
But it's time to stop avoiding this. It's time to face my own Jabberwocky and make my decision. I will take one step forward, and I will start making my own decisions.
I need to breakaway from the nest. I need to start paying attention to my own heart, and I need to start going after my dream, instead of just talking about it.
No one can help me make these decisions, because these decisions don't affect them. Only I can do this, because when I face my own Jabberwocky, I will face it alone. It's time to be brave, and make the decison instead of run from it.

The Wanderer
Step by step
I make my journey
to where . . .
I do not know.
Through trial and error
grief and wrath
in sunshine,
ice and snow.
Each memory
a delicate moment.
Each mystery
a climb.
Through the everyday,
the good and bad
I try
to take my time.
New victories.
New losses.
By facing fears
and shame.
I tread on the path,
the rocky road
to explore the world
and discover my own name.
Some seed I plant
will surely grow
while others
wither and die.
Cage or desert,
hill or mountain,
all I can do is try.
Will I find
where I belong,
and the purpose
I was made?
Learn my craft,
hone my skill
and become
master in my trade?
As I seek
more than I know,
a wandering
I will go.

Who you are
I found this on tumblr and it wouldn't leave my mind.
We take what speaks to us in the world, and it becomes a small piece of who we are. The stories you love echo through you. The music you love inspires you. What you like, even if a million people also like it, says something about what you stand for, what you appreciate and what you want to offer the world. This is why learning about who you are is important. This is how you choose who you are. You decide what speaks to you, and what you wish to be a part of. You decide what you believe and what you say. This is why all the things you love are so important, because they are connected to your core values and your personality.
I guess it's a late revelation, but I always believed that the self was one set thing you had to find. Now I know that you don't find yourself, you create yourself.
This is why self discovery is the key part of stories.

I meet a really cool guy tonight who talked about how he traveled the world for a year. He went to Thailand, Portugal, Europe and went an entire year without really having a place to stay. Listening to him talk about his experiences, how he learned the languages and adapted to the different cultures was really inspiring.
There's something about wandering, being free to roam where you will, to go to the places you want to go and not be tied down to anytthing. It's an appealing idea to backpack accross Europe, and go out there, experiencing new things and meeting people from around the world.
Exploring new places and meeting new people sounds like a wonderful thing to do for a year. Who knows what could happen. Each person you'd meet would teach you something new. Each day would be an adventure with stories to share.
So wanderlust has hit me, and who knows what I will do this year to cure it.

One step
Pinocchio wished
on a bright blue star.
Snow White dreamed
of a prince near or far.
Belle longed for
adventure far away.
Jasmine wanted
an escape from the every day.
It starts with a step.
One act of the heart.
One step
is all it takes
to begin a story.

Enchanted Grounds
So, I decided to get out of the house today and focus on writing, which persuaded me to actually start being productive for a change. The place I chose to go was Enchanted Grounds. My Dad told me about this place, but I have never been.
Enchanted Grounds is a game store and a coffee shop. Here there are a lot of tables for people playing Dungeons and Dragons, card games and other exciting things. There were a few people just sitting by themselves, with their laptop and a coffee.
The store itself is very cool. They sell many different kinds of games, and Doctor Who, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings merchandise.
This place actually reminds me a little of my Uncle Huey's old comic shop, where we would walk in and be surrounded by Marvel characters and pokemon cards.
It's a nice hangout for people who want to get away, and they even have a bookshelf with a book exchange where you take a book and leave a book. Many of the books on the shelf were by David Eddings and Terry Brooks.
I ordered a Peppermint Chai and found a spot, close to the books and the window. The barista came around and offered me a free doughnut with bacon wrapped in chocolate. The regulars are very animated, and talking about the Muppets, The Hobbit and how many times one guy visits this place. Apparently it's a joke that creates a burble of laughter among the group that sits next to the Japanese rice paper screen and across from the book exchange bookshelf.
So I think I've found the perfect place to write on weekdays. After work, I'm going to start coming here and working on a chapter for my novel. I will also recommend their black and white doughnut, which I got to sample for free.
If you'd like to check this place out, here's their website:

The Journey
There is never a wrong time
to leave it all behind.
To find your courage
and discover your strength.
To walk your own path
no matter its length.
Be the one
who rises above
the naysayers,
the bullies,
the hypocrites,
and the jerks
Don't bully yourself.
Appreciate the quirks.
Accept your good.
Accept your bad.
Allow yourself to be happy.
Allow yourself to be sad.
It's human to want.
It's human to fear.
It's human to get the hell out of here.
It's a declaration
and a pact with yourself.
Stop ignoring
those dreams you put on the shelf.
What's holding you back?
Can you answer this true?
You know that it's all about
how you treat you.
Don't wait.
Don't just wish.
Get out there
Follow your bliss.
This year has only just begun.
Stop waiting for life.
Journey and have fun.
Who knows what you'll learn.
Who knows where you'll go.
But if you never try,
then you will never know.

Heartsong: "Let it go" from Frozen
"The past is in the past."
This song is so inspiring to me. If there's one thing I want to accomplish this year, it is letting go of the past. I'm not that shy and lonely teenager anymore. I'm not that misunderstood twenty year old either. I have grown into a much stronger person, and the only thing holding me back now is myself.

Prompt: My ten favorite scents or smells
1. Roses- they remind me of my grandmother, and of course Beauty and the Beast.
2. Rain- the smell of rain always inspires me for some reason.
3. Chocolate- this one is obvious.
4. Chai tea- another obvious one.
5. Cherry Blossoms- subtle yet perfect.

7. Pine trees- reminds me of hiking and camping in the mountains.
8. Spear mint- I blame the CSAP.
9. Lavender- a calming scent.

Keep Moving Forward
So I found this jem on Pinterest, and it relates to a conversation that Dad and I had about the difference between successful people, and people. Ultimately, sucessful people press on, even after rejection. When they are tired, when they are stressed and when they are on the brink of giving up, they don't let those things stop them from pursuing their dreams. They press on, and continue to work, even if they aren't satisfied with what they have.
They are constantly in motion. One step at a time, they climb that towering mountain, and before you know it, they are there, standing at the peak and smiling at their accomplishment.
This is what I aspire to be. If I have any resolution this year, it is to be constantly moving forward. No more drama. No more excuses. No more laziness.
My resolution this year and maybe every year after that is to keep moving forward. To press on, even after a rejection letter. To keep working, even when I want to give up. To write and write and write.
But more than that. I want to live. To surround myself with positive and encourgaing people. To avoid negativity and anyone who talks down on me.
I'm going to focus on one goal, and that goal will be completed by the end of this year. One goal. One Year. One simple step forward.
My New Year's Resolution
This song. Everything about it speaks to me right now. I've kind of put my wants and needs on the back burner. Now it's time to step it up. I'm going to go after that dream. I'm going to work toward it, even when I'm tired and depressed. I will not give up on my dream, and I won't let fear control my life. I'm going to live my life. Starting now!

Many existing methods for the recovery of optical parameters from turbid materials rely on the diffusion approximation, which does not permit the recovery of the degree of anisotropy in the scattering phase function. These methods also make the explicit assumption that light is normally incident at the top surface of the material. We demonstrate a steady-state imaging technique that uses nonnormally incident light to determine anisotropy parameter g by fitting Monte Carlo simulation results to high dynamic range images of the intensity profiles of samples. The proposed method is simpler than existing methods and does not rely on thin samples to produce reasonable results.

The epic of the Tea Horse Road, one of the longest trade routes of the Ancient World, was inspired by this particular tea from the southern part of Yunnan known as Xishuangbanna.
Even within Yunnan's regional cuisine, famous enough in China for there tobe Yunnanese restaurants in the major cities, Naxi cuisine is a notable high point. While the more esoteric dishes, such as Fried Dragonfly (油炸蜻蜓if you really want to order them by showing these Chinese characters to the restaurant owner) are an acquired taste, the staples of Naxi cooking are understandably popular: cured ham, potatoes and mushrooms. Here is a starter kit for beginning your Lijiang culinary experiments.
Pipa Pork, Zhubiao rou (猪膘肉)
Pork is the basic meat for the Naxi, and this speciality begins with a whole salted pig. Named after the Pipa (a plucked string instrument with a fretted fingerboard, like a lute) because of its shape, the salted and air-dried pork can last upto ten years, deboned and stuffed with salt, spices and various other condiments, it is served in slices, which though fatty are not greasy. Another kind off dried pork is Three River Ham (三江火腿).
Chickpea Jelly, Jidou Liangfen (鸡豆凉粉)
A savoury bean jelly served with a spicy sauce, cold in summer and hot in winter. Liangfen (literally 'cold powder') is the general Chinese name for starch jelly, and the most typical Naxi speciality is Jidou Liangfen, made from chickpeas. The greenish grey colour may at first sight seem a little less than appetizing if you're unfamiliar with this dish, but once you've vaulted that small hurdle, you'll be rewarded with a fine savoury flavour, packed with umami.
Steamed Matsutake, Niang Song Rong (酿松茸)
Yunnan as a whole is a paradise for mushroom lovers, and the most popular local Naxi varieties are matsutake, termitomyces and sorel. Matsutake, juicy, aromatic and chewy, is the most expensive (anywhere, for that matter) and appears in the market from June to November. The season for termitomyces, sweet, fresh and tender, is available around July and August, while morel, from the forests between 2,000m and 3,000m, is picked in late spring and early autumn, and is usually stuffed with meat and be streamed or boiled with chicken and duck.
White Potato Pancakes, Yangyu Baba Baba is the Tibetan flat bread, but this Lijiang version is made from white potatoes, and traditionally a harvest food. Very simple, but filling and delicious, it's a mixture of mashed potato, slightly salted and spiced, and deep-fried.

After stricter protocols were implemented in conducting exams in Bihar, less than half the Class X students have managed scrape through. Around 15.47 lakh students appeared for the centrally-administered exams this year. While more than half of them failed, which is a drop of more than 28% from last year, only 10.86% managed to get first division marks. Last year, more than a fifth of the students had passed with first division marks in Bihar.
Noted photographer and founder of the Delhi Photo Festival lost his pet dog in April. But with the help of social media and alert neighbours, he was able to find the dog in 33 days, in a forgotten area half-an-hour away from his home. The dog, Thumki, now safe and sound, has lost some weight but is now happily reunited with the family.
Bishop Jacob Muricken, of Pala diocese of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Kerala, has decided to donate his kidney to 30-year-old Hindu man Sooraj Sudhakaran, who has been undergoing dialysis for over a year after both his kidneys failed. Taking a cue from Pope Francis, Muricken wants to ensure that the year 2016 will be a 'Year of Mercy'.

A major fire at an ammunition depot in Pulgaon, Maharashtra killed over 17 and injured 19. Two officers and 15 Defence Security Corps jawans were among those killed in the fire. The fire broke out on Monday night at the Central Ammunition Depot at Pulgaon, some 110 kms from Nagpur.
England's Alastair Cook broke Indian cricket star Sachin Tendulkar's record by being the youngest batsman to score over 10,000 Test runs. The England captain became just the 12th batsman -- and the only one still playing Tests -- in history to reach the landmark when the left-handed opener clipped Nuwan Pradeep for four through mid-wicket.
The Global Slavery Index by human rights organisation Walk Free Foundation released a study revealing that India has the largest population of modern slaves in the world with more than 18 million people trapped as bonded labourers, forced beggars, sex workers and child soldiers. The report says that the number was 1.4% of India's population, the fourth highest among 167 countries with the largest proportion of slaves.

The government is planning to deliver holy Gangajal (water from the river Ganges) at peoples' doorstep, using the Indian Postal Service. According to cabinet minster Ravi Shankar Prasad they are keen to 'address the cultural under-pinnings of India'. The Gangajal will be delivered via post, and there are plans to collaborate with popular e-commerce websites for the same.
After the debacle with the Bajrang Dal practicing the 'shooting down' of masked dummies, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad held a 'self-defence' camp for women in Varanasi. The 100-odd women participated were given martial arts well as weapons training.
In a shocking case, the Mumbai police on Monday arrested an elderly man for allegedly throwing off his three-year-old grandson from the six-floor balcony of his flat. The child was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead by doctors. Reportedly the grandfather had a fight with his daughter-in-law about not giving him food on time.
India's outreach to African countries needs to go beyond tokenism. The protest by African envoys must serve as a call to action, write Persis Taraporevala and Rohit Negi in The Hindu. "Expounding slogans of shared histories from Bandung are far easier than creating structures that support the everyday lives of migrants and Indians, given the social frictions that typify globalising cities. The current pledges of support require extensive work on the ground and in terms of policy to ensure that the ideas stated by the government go beyond tokenism," they say.
The reasons for India's growing health problems are both resource-related and systemic, says an editorial in Mint. "The biggest reason for the slow improvement in health parameters in the country, however, is the huge out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure incurred by Indian households. Private expenditure on health also includes insurance, donations and direct service payments by corporations. In India, 85.9% of private expenditure on health is OOP. The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, 2014, aims to redress this by expanding the health insurance cover—currently, only 17% of the total population—but its effectiveness remains to be seen," it says.
By scrapping the poll notification for two Assembly constituencies in Tamil Nadu, Aravakurichi and Thanjavur, where money and gifts had been distributed to voters by candidates and members of the two major parties, the AIADMK and the DMK, the Election Commission probably hoped to at least partially redeem its image as a tough, no-nonsense institution, that is both independent and powerful, says an editorial in The Hindu. "In doing so, the EC underlined its independence and authority and signalled that it would not be cowed down by political pressure. In taking on the Governor for his overreach and refusing to quietly acquiesce in this matter, the EC deserves to be commended," it said.

During a recent conversation it was brought to my attention that parents aren't necessarily the pillars of child bearing promotional efforts. In fact, we tend to be quite the opposite. This observation was no doubt made by a non-parent friend who would like to preserve her chances of actually bearing children one day and apparently we, her parent friends, aren't helping the cause with all our complaining. My friend is by all means right. Parents complain A LOT. But how else are you supposed to survive the time you spend with your children (which in my case is like 99% of my time), if you can't blow a little steam when you're with your adult friends? No parent, or at least none I know, is going to sit on their child's play-mat and bitch to their kid about how little time they have to themselves as they play with a choo-choo train or sing along with the Mickey Mouse "Hot Dog Dance". Quite honestly, when you're with the little terror you don't think about anything but preventing the next face plant into the cold tile floor. And that's the thing, it's when you finally do by some miracle get away for an adult dinner out that it hits you…Holy shit, I can't remember the last time I had dinner without Baby Beethoven in the background…let the parental flood gates open…bless the non-parental souls that are with you.
Granted, this dawning truth is not an excuse to use your poor childless friends as verbal punching bags. If anything, we parents should restrain ourselves and let them live on with their fantasies of one day bearing rosy-cheeked, powder-smelling bundles of joy. Buuuuuut…forgive me if I think that giving other childless adults a fair warning about what they're getting themselves into isn't such a bad thing. That's why the oh so subtle "Must be nice…" is nonchalantly thrown in to the conversation when things like going to the gym past 6am, watching an R rated movie, or dare I even mention it…Happy Hour…is spoken of. But can you blame us? I haven't gone to the bathroom with the door shut in 8 months, much less had time to "spend a night in with a book and a glass of wine" *cue photo of bubble bath, vino, and book* These facebook statuses make me want to drive over and drop my child right into the bathtub with the bearer of such good fortune. Tilly loves the water; she'd be great company!
Ok, back to my friend and her annoyance at our constant bitching. The truth is, we will never stop doing it. The reason behind this is that until you actually have children you won't realize how unprepared you actually were to have them. No matter how ready you think you may be, it is impossible to actually fathom how drastically your life changes from one day to the next. With that said if you were to offer me my old life back at this very moment I wouldn't take it. I wouldn't even consider it. Babies are exhausting, emotionally and physically. But they truly are the most amazing experience in the world. If any able-minded adult were to sit down and analyze what having children means, they wouldn't do it. That's why you just have to take the plunge. Sorry currently baby-less, happy hour going friends, but one day you too will find yourselves at a dinner table venting about your mini-mes and all the things you once did. It just is what it is…and when that day comes, you'll understand. Until then, drink until 4am and be merry!

Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers
May 20–Sep 12, 2010
Yves Klein's Untitled Anthropometry, 1960, from the Hirshhorn's collection
May 20 to September 12, 2010
One of the last century's most influential artists, Yves Klein (French, b. Nice, 1928; d. Paris, 1962) took the European art scene by storm in a prolific career that lasted only from 1954 to 1962, when he suffered a heart attack at the age of 34. Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers is the first major retrospective of the artist's work in the United States in nearly 30 years. The exhibition will include examples from all of Klein's major series, including his Anthropometries, Cosmogonies, fire paintings, planetary reliefs, and blue monochromes, as well as selections of his lesser-known gold and pink monochromes, body and sponge reliefs, "air architecture," and immaterial works. The installation will also foreground the artist's process and conceptual projects through a range of ephemera, including sketches, photographs, letters, and writings.
Yves Klein created what he considered his first artwork when he signed the sky above Nice in 1947, making his earliest attempt to capture the immaterial. Klein was an innovator who embraced painting, sculpture, performance, photography, music, theater, film, architecture, and theoretical writing. Self-identified as "the painter of space," he sought to achieve immaterial spirituality through pure color (primarily an ultramarine blue of his own invention—International Klein Blue). The artist's diverse body of work represents a pivotal transition from modern art's concern with the material object to contemporary notions of the conceptual nature of art and is informed by Klein's study of the mystical sect Rosicrucianism, philosophical and poetic investigations of space and science, and the practice of Judo.
The exhibition is co-organized by the Hirshhorn and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and is co-curated by Hirshhorn deputy director and chief curator Kerry Brougher and Philippe Vergne, director of Dia Art Foundation.
Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers is co-organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN.

Yves Klein Leaps into Facebook and Twitter
For this first US retrospective in nearly thirty years of one of the twentieth century's most influential artists, whose work marks a pivotal transition between modern art's concern with the material object and contemporary notions of the conceptual natural of art, we felt it was essential not only to present Klein as the maker of beautiful objects, but also as a thinker, a philosopher who paved the way for future generations of artists. His body of work was diverse and moved beyond traditional media like painting and sculpture to include performance, photography, music, architecture, and theoretical writing as well as plans for projects in theater, dance, and cinema. He may also have been one of the first artists consciously to blur the lines between his work and life, between painting and performance, between object and idea, even between being an artist and a magician. Therefore, it is necessary not only to create an exhibition of his physical works, which are numerous and exist in a variety of forms, but to present the full range of his creative endeavor and to resurrect the artist himself by allowing him to tell his own story.
Therefore, as we approach the opening of the exhibition, we wanted to try an experiment, to have the artist himself introduce the show and present to viewers the range of his projects and the scope of what they will experience in the exhibition itself. Each day, a different aspect of Klein's remarkably prolific, yet dramatically short career (which ended at the age of 34 when he died of a heart attack) will take center stage, presented through quotes, photos, video and audio recordings that let Klein himself explain his goals, process, artworks, and projects to the audience. Thus, Klein will live through Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and the Hirshhorn's website, truly providing him the chance to, as he expressed a desire to do, "to realize in my own creations that 'transparence,' that immeasurable 'void' in which lives the permanent and absolute spirit freed of all dimensions."

Yves Klein mobile application available
The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden announces the release of a mobile application for Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers, the first major retrospective of the artist's work in the United States in nearly 30 years. This is the first mobile application offered to the public by a Smithsonian art museum, representing a commitment to technology that enriches the experience of visitors on- and off-site.
The Klein application is available in the iTunes App Store for download globally at a price of $.99 until June 21; $1.99 thereafter. It provides users with a full overview of the exhibition, highlighting images of selected artworks alongside video and quotes from the artist himself, giving insight into Klein's concepts and process. The application is accessible here: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yves-klein-with-void-full/id373760860?mt=8.
"We launched the Yves Klein iPhone application to give our visitors, and art fans globally, an interactive way to experience this one-of-a-kind exhibition," said Richard Koshalek, director of the museum. "The distribution of our application allows people around the world to engage with the Yves Klein show through their smartphones."
Using Toura for its iPhone application demonstrates the Hirshhorn's ongoing commitment to educating and empowering a global audience in an increasingly information-driven culture. With Toura's application technology, the museum will be able to offer smartphone tours for additional exhibitions in the future. Upon the successful launch of this iPhone app, the Hirshhorn, in conjunction with Toura, will make the application available on other platforms and via other sellers, including Google's Android Marketplace.

eBay's Take on Going Green
Earth Day's fast approaching and people who are not ordinarily interested in green purchases and alternatives might be looking into the possibility. The ever popular eBay is one possible venue for various purchases and luckily, the company has long since established its green movement.
Back in 2007, the pioneering 40 eBay employees started its Green Team; an organization within company that has grown to become 1,000 members strong lately. This same team is responsible for the eBay online look book containing various products for sale which are deemed eco-friendly in one way or another. You can even search for products to buy that will benefit environmental charities. But besides the products for sale, there are tips on how to buy green for those not quite well-versed on the subject.
Of course most of what the team stands for is already actually what the essence of eBay is (provide a means for people to buy pre-used goods, and helping to keep stuff out of landfills and prolonging still usable materials), but the project is promising in its own right. After all, it promotes buying green even more and encourages people to make more eco-friendly choices.

In April of this year, Prince William, Prince Harry, and Kate Middleton had a candid conversation about the impact of Princess Diana's death on her two sons. The royal trio was campaigning for Heads Together, an initiative that seeks to combat the stigma against mental health. And during their discussion, both princes acknowledged that they had bottled up their sadness over their mother's untimely death.
"Harry and I over the years have not talked enough about our mother, you know," William said.
The prince has continued on his campaign to shatter the silence that surrounds trauma and other mental health issues. In a newly-published interview with GQ, William opened up about the void that Diana's absence has left.
"I would like to have had her advice," the prince said. "I would love her to have met Catherine and to have seen the children grow up. It makes me sad that she won't, that they will never know her."
"I am in a better place about it than I have been for a long time, where I can talk about her more openly, talk about her more honestly," William added, "and I can remember her better, and publicly talk about her better."

HighlightsReykjavik | Northern Lights | Golden Circle | Hvolsvollur Valley| Thingvellir National Park | Gullfoss Waterfall | Skógafoss waterfall | Reynisdrangar | Reynisfjara beach | Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon | Skaftafell National Park | Vatnajokull ice cap | Blue Lagoon | Silfra Fissure snorkelling
Description of Northern Lights tour in IcelandThis six day, small group Northern Lights tour in Iceland is a wonderful combination of some of the classic geological and natural wonders that the country has to offer, but also getting right out there into wilderness to up your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
Iceland really is a country that beckons adventure, with hot springs, volcanic lagoons, such as the famous Blue Lagoon, glacial lagoons like Jokulsarlon, where icebergs calve into the bluish white abyss. And of course waterfalls, including the famous Gulfoss which tumbles 32m into Hvitargljufur Gorge. And is just one of the stops on the countrys famous Golden Circle.
As well as the Golden Circle, we get a chance to hike on Vatnajokull, Europes largest ice cap, which has thirty glaciers flowing off it. We dont do things in a really strenuous way on this trip so dont worry if hiking isnt your thing, you can take a shorter walk if you prefer. We also have a day to enjoy the capital city, of course, now considered one of Europes coolest places to visit. Whats coolest in our books, however, is seeing the Aurora Borealis do her beautiful thing and we will endeavour to take you to the best spots possible, depending on weather conditions, so that you too can experience this natural wonder.

Small group adventureWhat is a small group adventure?
It's a great way to travel! Whether you are travelling on your own, with a partner or with friends, a small group trip is a fantastic way to see the world. You'll travel on a fixed itinerary that has been designed to help you discover the best of region. From the known highlights, the hidden gems that you won't find in the guidebooks.
Itineraries run on set departure dates, accompanied every step of the way by an English speaking local group leader. You chose the itinerary and the date that suits you best and you book on.
Why travel on a small group adventure?
Small groups allow us to explore where larger tour groups can't. Our maximum group size of 16 travellers allows us to use local transport to get from A to B, to visit rural villages, spend time with the locals and even stay at a local home overnight, and it allows us to give our travellers genuine, real life experiences of the countries we are visiting; what you'll be doing and how you'll travel depends entirely on your chosen itinerary.
Is an adventure right for me?
The word adventure means something different to everyone, and our range of trips reflects that. Whether you want to explore local markets, visit out of the way temples and meet local people or go on an early morning safari drive searching for the 'big five', we'll have a trip for you. If you are looking for a physical challenge such trekking the Kokoda Track or summiting Kilimanjaro, we can help with that too.
So what can I expect on this trip?
This is a classic style of small group adventure. You'll find your trip combines a good mix of included activities and free time, with some meals included as per your itinerary. We don't want you to feel chaperoned, it's your holiday not ours. Your group leader will be on hand to assist with organising anything you might wish to do in your free time, but how you spend it is up to you. Anything listed as included in your itinerary will be included in trip price; whereas anything listed as optional will be at an additional cost should you wish to take part.
These trips are great value, including things that you would struggle to organise independently, such as a night at a homestay in a remote village, or local guides around a remote place of interest. Transport will be a combination of private vehicle and public transport, whichever is the most appropriate for the route we are travelling; this might include train, plane, camel, tuk tuk, bicycle, boat
On a majority of these trips you'll stay in 2-3 star accommodation, locally owned and reflective of the region you are travelling through. All solo travellers will be automatically roomed on a twin share basis with another group member of the same sex, unless you opt to pay for your own room at time of booking. There are no compulsory single supplements for solo travellers willing to share. Single rooms aren't available on camping trips, and you will be expected to help out with camp tasks such as setting up and breaking down your camp.
Can I book my flights with you?
Yes! We are a fully ATOL bonded tour operator meaning that we can book flights from the UK as part of your holiday package. Just ask us for a quote including flights when you make your enquiry.
Responsible tourism
Northern Lights tour in Iceland
Carbon reduction
Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.
Accommodation and meals: Our small group size allows us to stay in small family-run guesthouses in Hvolsvöllur and Höfn that cannot benefit from coach tours and other mass tourism due to their limited size.
We are a big supporter of the protection of endangered species around the world. Although a global ban on commercial whaling came into effect in 1986, approximately 1,000 whales are still being killed every year, with Iceland being one country to defy the ban. We encourage our travelers to avoid purchasing whale-based dishes or souvenirs to discourage fueling this trade.
Community: Our local Icelandic Tour Leader will share insights into local customs and traditions and if youre lucky, they may treat you to a rendition of popular folk songs.
Group size: This small group tour has a maximum of 12 participants, meaning that we have a low impact on the communities we visit and are able to ensure that we do not disrupt or lead to the displacement of local people as far as possible.
Activity: Tourism is booming in Iceland and this tour actively encourages travelers to chat with local guesthouse owners and other travelers and to purchase local Icelandic produce, gifts and crafts.
UK office: It all starts at home so we have first worked at reducing our carbon footprint in our UK offices. Through energy conservation measures and recycling policies, we are proud to be actively reducing the waste produced and our impact on the environment. We support various projects all over the world to try and give something back to the places we visit.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> true definition of a transaction
Does the definition of a transaction vary depending on technology? The high level definition is basically a 'single unit of work'. However, in oracle a transaction is a commit, in J2EE EJB world a transaction can include an in memory change to a variable, in sql server, i think selects are included in the definition of a transaction. I heard a guy on the radio who claims to run a company that 'implemented one the highest transaction data warehouses in the world'. To me that is an oxymoron. By definition data warehouses are read mostly, with period data loads.
has anyone else noticed this? any comments?
