Iraq Diary, Day 1: Fighting incursions by fanatics tooth and nail
Eisa Ali is a correspondent at RT UK bureau in London. He is also a political analyst with a focus on Iraq, Lebanon & Syria. He studied Law & Marketing at university before becoming a documentary film maker, journalist and writer. His writing has appeared on Antiwar.com, Informed Comment & Digital Resistance and he has appeared on the BBC, Press TV, and Etejah English as an analyst and commentator.
During the journey from the airport, I'm struck by how relaxed the atmosphere is amongst Iraqis considering the heavy fighting that was occurring just outside Baghdad in the city of Ramadi (The key city is located 110 km (70 miles) west of the Iraqi capital, fell to ISIS forces on Sunday after government troops pulled out of a military base on the west side of the city).
The drive from the airport to our hotel is punctuated by checkpoint stops but the soldiers are courteous and helpful and all-in-all the journey is quick and easy. As we wind through the early morning traffic, a bus carrying school children pulls up next to us. The girls aboard are all cramming in some last minute revision as they prepare for end-of-year exams. As far as they're concerned, life goes on as normal; despite the fact genocidal ISIS fighters sit just 30 miles outside the city.
Iraq is a country which has experienced war after war for the last four decades, if not longer. The barbaric sanctions imposed by the US killed at least 500,000 Iraqi children alone (the number of excess deaths resulting from the Gulf War and its aftermath until 1998 was estimated between 400,000 and 500,000, according to a report by Mohamed M. Ali, John Blacker and Gareth Jones for the World Health Organization.)
And when former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was asked in an interview by 60 Minutes if she thought the death of thousands of children was worth getting America's old ally, Saddam Hussein, out of power, she infamously replied, "I think this is a very hard choice, but we think the price is worth it."
Despite it all, the inhabitants of Iraq have built up a sort of immunity to the endless calamities that have befallen this land. They have a sense of pride in their own identity as Iraqis and their resilience is manifest through their gallows sense of humor.
Two days before I arrived, ISIS took over the provincial government buildings in downtown Ramadi, in Anbar Province. Anbar sits just to the West of the capital Baghdad and is the largest of Iraq's provinces. Most of it is controlled by ISIS, although much of the region is made up of uninhabited expanses of desert.
As I begin writing this, news starts to filter through that ISIS has also taken over the Anbar Operations Command center in Ramadi. Soldiers and Hashd Al Shaabi volunteers (the young men who answered Ayatollah Sistani's call to take up arms against ISIS last summer) that I spoke to in Baghdad are seething with anger.
For months, Baghdad's government has been holding back on sending in the cavalry, under pressure not just from Sunni politicians who don't want to see ISIS defeated, but from the US too. Prime Minister Abadi announced on Sunday, however, that the Hashd should start preparing to go to Anbar. They, for their part, are chomping at the bit. They kept stressing to me how this fight isn't just for Iraq but for the whole world.
Baghdad itself is well protected. The sense of panic which followed the ISIS takeover of Mosul has largely subsided. Should ISIS try to move on the capital, they'd likely be cut to ribbons, even if the fall of Ramadi appears to offer them a clear run at the capital (the reality is that it simply isn't as straightforward as that).
There are tens of thousands of soldiers on the streets and perhaps even more of the Hashd volunteers. The best, or worst, that ISIS has been able to do thus far in Baghdad is send intermittent car bombs into the capital to murder civilians. In recent weeks, an increasing number of these bombs have made their way into the city. Locals say ISIS have infiltrated by blending in with the estimated 100,000 internally displaced people fleeing the Ramadi fighting.
But Baghdad isn't Ramadi, nor is it Mosul. Thus far, ISIS has only taken and held areas with majority Sunni populations, mainly through massacring local Sunnis who resist them and terrifying others into submission.
The reaction of Iraq's Sunnis to ISIS has been patchy to say the least. In many parts of the country, thousands of Sunni tribesmen stood and fought ISIS, most notably in Tikrit and Diyala. In other parts, however, ISIS forces were aided by collusion. But Baghdad's inhabitants include millions of Shia Muslims who make up the majority and have been marked out for extermination by ISIS. They'll fight any attempted incursion by the fanatics tooth and nail.

NTFS Permissions are pretty cool when it comes to stuff like this. Basically you go into advanced and say for example you set up a group called generalusers that are not allowed to create the folders in that top level. You add them to the advanced list with the subfolders only class with standard read/write EXCEPT delete (make it unchecked) (so they can't delete that folder). Then you add the same group again with folders and files and set to read only.

ACA Reporting Deadlines for Year-End 2016
Posted on December 06, 2016
Here's the bad news first: the 2009 ACA transition reliefs are ending. As you may know, these reliefs were available in two forms. First, reporting deadlines were generous to allow companies plenty of time. Second, the law exempted businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Both of these allowances are ending this year, and employers, especially small ones, must be sharp and act fast to avoid substantial penalties. The good news is that we now have the inaugural ACA reporting season successfully under our belts and are ready to tackle what's next!
The new deadlines are as follows:
Employers must provide Forms 1095-B and 1095-C to employees by March 2, 2017. The forms must indicate month-by-month coverage provided through December 2016. Of course, coverage must be compliant with the essential coverage requirements.
Paper forms 1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C and 1095-C are due to the IRS by February 28, 2017. Electronic forms 1094-B, 1095-B, 1094-C and 1095-C are due to the IRS by March 31, 2017. A company with 250 or more employees must file the forms electronically.
Employers, of any size, that sponsored a self-insured health plan providing minimum essential coverage must distribute Form 1095-B to enrolled employees and file Form 1095-B with the IRS, showing health plan enrollment.
Avoiding the Two Types of Penalties for Non-Compliance
Penalties imposed by the IRS on a non-compliant business are triggered when full-time employees who were not covered seek subsidized coverage through the ACA's public exchanges. You can avoid penalties by making sure you do not fall into either of these penalty categories. The two types of penalties are (penalties are not deductible):
Penalty A - No Coverage. This penalty applies to companies who have failed to offer medical coverage to at least 95% of their full-time equivalent employees (and their dependents) for each month of the year (not averaged through the year). Some companies run a risk here due to erroneous interpretation of "full-time equivalent employee." Contingent workforces such as seasonal, contractual, or variable-hour employees, mergers or acquisitions, multiple locations, or labor from staffing firms may all affect your company's "full-time equivalent" count.
Penalty B - Deficient Coverage. Plans offered which do not meet the requirements of affordability, and minimum value will draw a penalty as well. A premium can be no more than 9.66% of the employee's household income to be considered "affordable". Minimum value means the plan covers 60% or more of an employee's medical expenses.
A Note about the Shared Responsibility Mandate
The phase-in period of the ACA's shared responsibility mandate—also known as "play or pay"—ends this year. From now on, all organizations with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees must offer adequate insurance to at least 95 percent of their full-time employees to avoid penalties.
Assess Your Risk
Do you have adequate staffing and IT capability to handle the calculating, documenting, and reporting necessary for ACA compliance? Are you sure you understand what constitutes a full-time employee and what factors might affect your count? If you are unclear on any of these factors, don't wait another day to call us.

There is also a thermal switch on the radiator. When the temperature gets high enough, this switch will send negative current to the fan. It is usually a large, brass with two wires going into it. Jump these two wires together on the bike side, with the key on, if the fan starts to spin, the thermal switch is bad.
If the fan does not come the thermal switch is ok. Your fan motor may be bad. The fan motor has two wires, one positive and one negative. Using jumper clips, supply positive to the positive wire & negative to the other, from your bike's battery. If the fan starts to spin, the motor is good.
Both the thermal switch and the fan motor are not inexpensive items to replace. Check the online microfiche for part numbers.
In the above schematic the item number 5 is the Fan Motor Assembly part number 19030-MAA-023. Item number 34 is the Thermo Switch Assembly, part number 37760-MT2-003.
You can also search the internet, check eBay or with local salvage yards for your part.
Search eBay & online salvage yards.
If the fan motor tests good, but it still will not function properly, please do not take the short cut that many shade tree mechanics with a cooling fan problem do, that is wiring the fan directly to the key switch.
When the fan is connected directly to the ignition switch it will run the entire time the bike is running. While this is ok to get you home once, it is not a long term fix. The fan running constantly puts stress on your battery, alternator and electrical system. This just sets you up for a breakdown.

A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Red Willow Fathomless. A Russian stout of 9.4% abv. I only had a half!
Come On You Hatters!
Low consumption week
Dorset Brewing -- Portland Porter
Cottage Brewing -- Dragon Slayer
Fullers -- Olivers Island *
Fullers -- Wild River * (3PT)
BOTW goes to Fullers Olivers Island ,a very drinkable low ABV golden ale and just the perfect pint when walking into a pub with a thirst to slake from The White Horse,Hertford.
Next week going to sample output from Howling Hops.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
Half decent this week,
Darkstar Hophead* 3.8%
Darkstar American Pale Ale* 4.7%
Goffs Lancer 3.8%
Fullers Olivers Island*3.8%
Bradfield Farmers Blonde 4.0%
Dorset Fool Hardy* 4.4%
Greyhawk Skipton Blonde*4.0%
Green Jack Albion Mild 3.8%
Ilkley Mary Jane * 3.5%
Jarrow Shipwright Blonde* 4.3%
Otley American Pale Ale * 4.3%
Little Beer Little Haka * 3.5%
Bridestone Galaxy 4.2%
Bristol Beer Factory Bitter Kiwi * 5.0%
Elland Brambling Cross* 3.9%
Wild Weather Mudslinger (Jack Daniels Barrel Aged)* 5.5%
Siren Craft Life is a Peach*6.2% (keg)
Binghams Vanilla Stout* 5.0%
A lot of very good cask beers there but the final beer of the week (Life Is A Peach) took the prize, enjoyed in the Nags Head, nearly everything about it was good,name, temperature, carbonation and taste,just the price was the only fly in the ointment,£2.30 a half, but that's Craft Beer, it was worth it.
Last edited by Mobyduck; 04-05-2015 at 20:07. Reason: Totally forgot about the Stout, probably due to 6.2% peaches.
"Everybody's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer."
A small but varied selection :-
Goacher's Real Mild Ale 3.4%*
Arundel Black Stallion 3.7%
Portobello Spring Ale 4.2%
Oakham Citra 4.2%*
Shepherd Neame Early Bird 4.3%
Fyne Ales Hurricane Jack 4.4%*
Hook Norton Old Hooky 4.6%*
Dark Star American Pale Ale 4.7%
Titanic Nautical Mild 4.8%*
Wold Top Wold Gold 4.8%
Beartown Blackbear 5.0%
Adnams / Sixpoint Meke It Rain 5.0%*
Thornbridge Jaipur IPA 5.9%*
Maxim Maximus 6.0%
Saltaire Stateside IPA 6.0%
It's between the Jaipur and the Oakham Citra but as I've never tried the Oakham beer in anything like top condition before (and not in Spoons either) the Citra gets it. It was discounted 10p to £3.15 in the excellent Maidstone Flowerpot.
BOTW Oakham Citra
Not a bad week, veering more towards the pint drinking, rather than the half sampling end of the spectrum.
Gadds - No3.
Kelham Island - Gentlemen Death.*
Salamander - My Muse.
Loddon - Gorgeous George.
Ilkley - Ruby Jane.*
Mallinsons - Ella.*
Fernandes - Octohop.*
Fernandes - Jackdaw Mild.*
Ilkley - Lotus IPA.*
Fernandes - Morse.
A very close call between the Octohop and the Ella, with the latter just shading it. With it being Mallinsons, you won't be surprised to hear it's pale and hoppy with a hint of spice.
'And where he supped the past lived still. And where he sipped the glass brimmed full' John Barleycorn, Carol Ann Duffy.
Vocation Chop & Change Centennial 4.6% tried all night on Tuesday in the Baum.
This one is going to be a changing beer, hence the name. The next version will have different hops & ABV.
Vocation is a new brewery set up by the guy who used to own Blue Monkey.
You can tell as well as the beer is excellent.
He sold Blue Monkey last year and moved North. But soon set up another brewery after deciding that it was his vocation. (See what he did there)
He claims that the brewery is in Hebden Bridge, but as it's in Cragg Vale, just across from Little Valley brewery it's really in Mytholmroyd.

Last year, we tried something a little bit different as Visit Hendricks County considered ways to promote our incredible small businesses and the one-of-a-kind gift ideas that can be found in them. This led us to create a holiday gift guide.
Needless to say, our efforts to encourage visitors to come here and residents to shop local over the holidays proved to be a resounding success not because of anything we did necessarily but because of the amazing finds we uncovered.
So, we are doing it again, but we are seeking the help of our readers, including local business owners, residents and visitors to provide recommendations of what kinds of gift ideas that are unique to Hendricks County should be featured this upcoming holiday season.
Last year, we showcased experiences at Sky Zone, Splash Island and even Cookies and Canvas at Frazee Gardens; handmade products such as purses made from recycled cowboy boots, cuff links made from recycled bullets and cutting boards made from various woods; and even locally produced products like fruit cake, craft beer and honey.
The fact remains that we didn't even scratch the surface of the amazing finds out there that are sure to be discovered this holiday season. We know because we heard from business owners who asked us why some of their products weren't featured, and frankly because even some of the unique things we found last year simply didn't make the cut.
So that is where all of you come in. We are requesting gift idea submissions now through Oct. 27 for inclusion in our holiday promotion. There truly is nothing too big or small.
We just ask that the gift comes from a brick and mortar store in Hendricks County with consistent store hours; that it is somewhat if not completely unique to Hendricks County; and that you provide us with some details like where it can be found and a brief description of it.
The best part is those products or services that make it into our holiday gift guide promotion will see air time on Indy Style TV as well as many other advertising channels. During the holiday season, that can be worth its weight in gold especially for our small businesses as many last year can attest.
For more information or to submit a gift idea, visit our website today. Need inspirations? Let our 2014 Holiday Gift Guide help you. And let me be the first to wish you Happy Holidays!

How do you make a Hello Kitty Cake ?
Hello Kitty is a fictional character that was created in 1974. It is a Japanese white cat inspired character with a red bow that today represents a whole franchise. Its cute design made it super popular all over the world. Today there are entire stores that are dedicated to Hello Kitty products. The products include clothes, bags, shoes, stationary items, make up and perfume in addition to edible products. Although the character was originally designed as a toy for young children, today the franchise represents a whole industry that is all made possible by the creation of this lovable character. The Cake is a popular cake design because it is simple and beautiful. The character is equally liked by girls and boys and this is one of the reasons why it is so popular to order a Cake on different occasions. Many children love to have a Cake on their birthdays. Of course, you can order a cake from a caterer in any design you need, but if you want to save money and perhaps have some quality time with your kids then you make the cake yourself. In this article we will explain the steps to how to make a Hello Kitty Cake at your home.
What are the steps to make a Hello Kitty Cake ?
The Hello Kity Cake is very easy and fast to make if you have the right tools and ingredients. All you need is any basic cake of any flavor that you prefer, some fondant that has to be prepared and left to rest for 8 hours before use, and a few simple decorations. You don't have to make the fondant yourself. You can easily buy some white fondant and some food coloring and you will be good to go.
- Prepare the fondant needed for the Hello Kitty Cake. It can be bought at the local store. You need to buy white, pink, yellow and black fondant. If you don't have colored fondant available, you can easily add some food coloring.
- Roll the fondant in your hands until it is smooth. Use a fondant smoother to make one side of the fondant flat. This is will be the belly side of the cat.
- Roll 2 small parts of the white fondant for the character's legs.
- Use a small round piping tip to cut the white polka dots that will make up for the character's dress. In order to stick the white polka dots to the pink body you need to wet their back with water and attach them to the body.
- Shape the arms with a pointy end for the thumb. Again wet them to attach them to the character's body.
- You can add a small piece of pink fondant for the sleeve of the Hello Kitty.
- The head of Hello Kitty is larger than its body and this is one of the reasons it is super cute. Roll a large part of fondant into an oval shape. Make sure that it is larger than the body. Use your hand and your fondant smoother to make the white fondant piece and oval flat shape.
- Use your hands to make two pointy ends. These will be the ears of the kitty.
- Set 3 skewers and trim them to a length so that 1/3 third of the skewer is in the body and two thirds are in the head in order to keep the head stable and secured on the body.
- The base of the figure will be later attached to a cake that has been previously covered with icing or frosting. The shape will be stable once you insert the skewers into the base of the cake.
- Use a fondant mold to create a flower for the head. Or use the bow mold to create a pink bow for the head.
- Use yellow and black fondant to create the nose and the eyes.
- It is very important to let the head dry for 2 days before attaching it to the body because it is quite heavy and if it is not fully dry it will fall down.
- Lower the head to the body and make sure that the contact points in the body are wet so that the head will stick.
- Add the signature black whiskers and then let the figure dry for a week in a cold dark place before attaching it. You can easily attach the figure to a cake or a cupcake.

Our students are unique. They come to VSB looking for professional growth, personal development, and to challenge those around them to become stronger business leaders. If you're looking to be in an environment where you are expected to engage, to collaborate, and to question traditional ways of doing business, then you could be a good fit for the online MSA.

So I know it's been a while since I've done a book review!
I've made a list of all the books I've read while I've not been blogging, and I'm starting from the top, so some of these books I'm reviewing in the next few weeks have been read a few months ago but I'm going to try and catch up. Although with the speed I read that might be difficult.
I'm also on Good Reads now, so if anybody else is on there you can find my profile here, and if you are too let me know and I'll give you a follow.
Today I'm reviewing a book I read way back in October 2016. "Now that you're gone" by Julie Corben
"Isla's brother, an ex-Marine and private investigator, has just been found drowned in the River Clyde. The coroner declares it an accidental death. The police are happy to close the case. But Isla is convinced he was murdered. Determined to find out what really happened the night Dougie died, and what he was doing in Glasgow, she starts looking into his unsolved cases. What she finds will put her in grave danger and force her to question everything she thought she knew about those closest to her . . ." (blurb taken from Amazon)
The first thing I thought about this book is that Isla seems such an unlikely character to be involved in a story line like this. She's a single mum of two, with a fairly normal job, and a normal day to day life. I think this is what makes the story so interesting, Isla isn't extraordinary in anyway, just a regular person reacting to grief and motivated by her loss. The flash backs in the story are a nice touch and show how close Isla was to her brother Dougie. The book is written in first person, so you get a really good feel for the character as a person, and see all these secrets unravelling and what kind of effect that has first hand. There were lots of really good twists and turns in this book, and the ending is a totally surprise. If you're looking for something to keep you turning pages, I'd recommend this!
As always let me know if you've read this book and any recommendation you have!

Hogs and Kisses Cookies
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I love you all so much that I wanted to send you some "Hogs and Kisses." So without further ado Meet Porky and Petunia. They were inspired from some clip art I saw on Pinterest. I could not wait to make them. I fell in love as soon as I saw the clip art. I knew Hogs and Kisses Cookies were going to be among my favorite Valentine's Day cookies!
I know these Hogs and Kisses are a little bit late for Valentine's Day, but you can make them any old day of the week for the one's you love. They will taste just as good if you make them on March 24th as they do on Valentine's Day.
Supplies for Hogs and Kisses Cookies:
Light Pink Icing –15 Second Icing
Medium Pink Icing
Bunny Rabbit Cookie Cutter
Black Food Gel Color or a black food safe marker
Food safe Marker to draw the pigs ears onto the cookies (A light color will work best)
Paint brush
Royal Icing Apple Blossom Flower for Petunia's hair- or pick your favorite flower from this list of tutorials.
I wasn't sure what cookie cutter I needed to use to make these hog cookies, but when I started looking I found exactly what I was looking for. I knew this little rabbit cutter could be stretched to make some cute pigs. It worked like a charm. If you don't have this cutter and would like to purchase it, you can find it here.
Here is a link to a good sugar cookie recipe, chocolate roll out cookie recipe ,or even a gingerbread cookie recipe. Here is a royal icing recipe or a recipe for a half a batch of royal icing just for you.
I made some extra rabbits and I am glad I did. For some reason, as I tried to freehand the ears, I kept messing up. After messing up two of them I finally got smart and started drawing them with the food safe marker. If you want to draw the pattern on first, try to use a light color of marker like a yellow or orange so the marker won't bleed into the icing.
Once you draw the ears, outline the little pigs. Then, flood the body and let it dry for about 10 minutes before you do the arms and legs. This will help to give the limbs separation.
Next, pipe a pink oval for the nose and add two small oval dots with the different color of pink icing. If you don't want to make two different colors of icing you can wait for the nose to dry and color two small ovals with a pink food safe marker. Let the cookie dry for a few hours before you add the final touches.
Next, mix a small amount of black food gel with a small amount of water. Then, paint the ends of the feet and hands.
Use a smaller detail brush to paint the eyes on Porky. Do the same thing for Petunia only add a few eyelashes.
Next, add the mouth and glue Petunia's flower on her head.
If you want to see a short love story for Valentine's Day, watch the "Hogs and Kisses" video. If you watch it, you will see how Porky and Petunia met.
I think these would be a good set of cookies to take to a BBQ. You could even add a little scarf around Porky's neck.
Petunia looks like she is already ready for a BBQ or maybe even a Luau Party! Just imagine her in a grass skirt and bikini top! LOL
Don't they make a cute couple? I can feel the love from the "Hogs and Kisses Cookies." Can you?
More cute Valentine's Day Cookies and Treats:
I love you Watts

Heart Cookies with Ribbon Roses

This article was first published in FARMONLINE on Monday the 22nd of September 2014.
THE most complex issues can often be made simple by applying good public policy principles. The current debate over the regulation of bulk grain ports is a timely example.
First, markets work best and most efficiently in the absence of government interference, but where there is market failure - like the inevitable consequences of unchecked monopoly power - they work most efficiently if the government intervenes to prevent market power abuse.
Second, the regulatory response should be as 'light touch' as is possible - just enough to address the imperfections of the market without creating other inefficiencies by placing too great a regulatory burden on the entities which operate in the market.
Third, its best to ensure government intervention is well targeted to prevent unintended consequences. Exceptions to the rule and possible exemptions should be sought where appropriate so as not to capture parts of the market unaffected by the market failure being addressed.
Finally, if the market is young, any potential for future maturity should be recognised, and provisions made for an easy path to a less regulated environment.
This was the former Labor governments plan for the ports used to export the nations wheat after the Wheat-for-Weapons scandal and the dismantling of the single desk.
Our 2008 legislation recognised the monopoly of companies which market wheat and own the ports, and the risk they would use their ownership of the ports to deny the entry of competitors in grains marketing. That would be a bad thing for the sector, growers and our economy.
But the legislation also recognised that, over time, new port facilities would emerge, reducing the monopoly of the older players and triggering a three-stage approach to promoting competition.
Stage one (2008-2014) involved curtailing the power of the monopolists by forcing them to provide legally enforceable undertakings on port access and other matters to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The second stage (2014-2019) was to be a period in which the market was subject to a prescribed port code of conduct established under the Competition and Consumer Act.
The code was to set rules for behaviour, disclosure, mediation and dispute resolution.
The third stage was to be the dawn of a totally deregulated environment, one in which many more players in a much more mature and competitive market would be subject only to the general pro-competition provisions of the Competition and Consumer Act, as is the case in most markets.
A decade seemed to be more than enough time to allow the market to grow and mature.
Under these arrangements, port operators would have had a capacity to apply to the ACCC for an exemption from the code on the basis a port zone already had sufficient competition to guarantee fair dealings in the absence of a code.
This makes sense: why burden the market and its players with regulation where the market works fine without it?
We have faith in the ACCCs ability to make such decisions, in the same way we trust it to accept undertakings under the current regime.
But now the Abbott government wants to change our legislated plans.
First, the government wants to remove the certainty we provided on deregulation by removing the five-year sunset clause on the code. It seems the sector will remain subject to the whims of the Minister of the day.
Second, the government wants to leave it to Barnaby Joyce to decide who will be covered by the code and who wont be. Indeed, Barnaby thinks the largest vertically integrated player in the market, and the market where there are least players, should be exempt from the code because it is a co-operative.
I doubt the ACCC would see this as a reason to grant an exemption.
This is an extraordinary proposition. It raises the spectre of a code covering all the players on the east coast where there are more players and more competition, but potentially covering no players on the west coast where there are less players and less competition.
This of course is the government's political fix - providing east coast Coalition MPs and Senators the ongoing regulation they yearn, and effectively delivering west coast MPs and Senators the de-regulated environment they seek. It's a plan for the party room, not one for the national interest.
The wheat industry is critical to the Australian economy, annually earning around $6 billion in foreign exchange and meeting our domestic consumption needs.
Developing the most efficient market and supply chain is critical for our international competitiveness and grower returns.
Labor wants to work with the government to ensure the regulatory regime is effective, that the sector has certainty, and there is a clear and timely path to full deregulation.
In this space last week Senator David Leyonhjelm was threatening to use a disallowance motion to scuttle the governments poorly constructed plan.
Disallowance is a poor solution because it will leave us with the current regime despite a changing and maturing market.
But arguably that would be better than a new market distorting regime which suits almost no-one.
Its over to you Barnaby, the clock is ticking!

We're doing a K12 (free, online public school) sort of deal with Henry and Spencer this year. I'm way excited about it, and so are they. All the curriculum, books, manipulative math stuff, etc came on Spencer's birthday, and it took until yesterday to get it all organized.
And what else was there to do but START? It's sitting the shelves, they were dying to crack into it, and really, I need to use whatever enthusiasm I can squeeze out them!
Today was, therefore, our first official day of school.
I intended to take pictures, I really did, but it was a bit chaotic of day with lots of things mixed into our school day, and so at the very end of the day, I remembered pictures and then Spencer was much too busy jumping on the trampoline to be bothered.
So this is what I got:
I am the mother of a FIRST GRADER and a Kindergartener. I am overwhelmed with the duties ahead in the next year. There is a lot we're hoping to accomplish. And with two little brothers who are NOT keen to be ignored while I work through math with their big brothers, a baby girl coming any day who will be equally (if not more!) demanding of time and attention, I'm praying for help to make sure everyone gets what they need.
Because NEED runs rampant around here.
But I'm also grateful for the opportunity. Last year was... in a word... wonderful. I feel super confident in where the boys are as they start the year. We're ready to tackle new challenges, continue learning, yadayadayada.
It's pretty great.

We are in a unique place and time when what you need to separate your business from the competition is a good communication strategy.
There is no denying social media and the digital revolution have changed the way you interact with your consumers.
Good communication now comes with a strategy. Social connection and digital customer service are positioning tactics. Content and engagement are new forms of currency.

It's not easy. It does take work. BUT, you CAN take on the big guy and claim your fair share.
Let's begin with understanding ...
Good communicators have one thing in common:
they communicate with their audience where they are right now.
To do this, you need to know WHO you're speaking to — their values, desires, dreams — HOW they want to hear your message, and WHAT moves them to action.
The good news is, you already have everything you need to get started. You just need to become MINDFUL of what you already know. You need to discover how to express the passion and knowledge you have in a way your customers will relate to and be motivated to share.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR098000.001.5 gone this time! Warner slashes at a length delivery, slicing under the ball and sending it looping towards mid off ... where the fielder charges in and holds a good, sliding catch. Two ducks in two games for Warner 3/11013210176.924.3 edged and gone! Wade charged the bowler and slashed at a length delivery, but didn't factor in the extra bounce and could only send a healthy edge through to Kuhn. This is turning into a bit of a top-order wobble now 17/226233422113.049.1 well-caught by Kuhn! Marsh aimed to heave Theron's first delivery over midwicket but sliced under the ball. The swirling chance came down somewhere near backward point, where Kuhn had charged and called for it. There's a slight delay as the umpire checks for the no-ball, and though it's very tight the delivery is legitimate and Marsh is on his way. That's put a dent in Australia's fightback 50/31214291085.7110.3 big wicket for South Africa! Hussey has picked out long on...used his feet to Botha but didn't quite get the connection and was a well-judged catch near the boundary 65/439263241150.0016.4 football meets cricket! Excellent skills from Parnell in his follow through. Marsh got an inside edge into his pads which bobbled down by his feet. White called for the single, but Parnell sprinted from his follow through and kicked the ball into the stumps 106/6981400112.5013.5 another goes and Tsotsobe deserved that. Smith tries to work a slower ball off-cutter to the leg side and gets a leading edge to cover for a simple catch 87/519.6 finally on target. A yorker extracts off stump as Marsh tries to guide it through the off side but not after some significant damage was done 147/833600100.0017.5 slashes outside off stump and gets a thin edge through to the keeper. Australia just can't build momentum in this innings.

He swished across the line at the delivery but looked back to see his off stump pegged back. This is going to be a tricky chase for South Africa ... 5/124223811109.098.2 but he's gone now! There'll be no match-saving innings from Smith. He tried to nudge this into the leg side but got a thick leading edge that flew back at Hussey, who made no mistake. South Africa are in some serious bother now. Time for a Parnell special? 48/43.1 chopped on! Ingram tried to seize on a touch of width from Cummins but this time he played over the top of it, and the inside edge cannoned into his stumps. South Africa wobble ... 18/2044000.003.5 quality cricket from Australia. A searing Cummins delivery finds a thick edge, and David Hussey tumbles to his right at a wide slip to cling onto the chance. The 'wrong' Hussey? Perhaps not. South Africa are really struggling, and Smith now has a chance to go from zero to hero ... 18/334284031121.4213.6 that could be the game!

In November 2010, a few friends decided that they wanted to help out over the Christmas period by serving in a soup kitchen or something similar. One of the friends (a very good cook!) came up with the idea of providing a three course meal of our own and inviting people along, aiming at the homeless, single parent and low income families... feedmk was born!
Realising that we only had 6 weeks to find a venue, get presents (we wanted to give all adults and children a gift), arrange cutlery, plates, music, and advertising, oh and decide on a menu! time was against us.
After all pulling together we were all set and the day finally arrived, we are pleased to say it was a great success!
It was clear after that one event and from speaking to our guests that Milton Keynes needed something to help pull the community together, hopefully feedmk will do that. More

50 States - California - Los Angeles
LA also has beautiful beaches and the funky side show that is Venice Beach about any time of day.
Even the streets are famous. On Rodeo Drive there is the Beverley Wilshire where Pretty Woman took place and the Whiskey on Sunset Strip where about everything has happened.
I can see why people love LA.
Update: I haven't been back to LA since that trip in 2003 but I've been to lots of other places in California since then. See my comment below for links ot other photos.

I'm that rarity of the first few post-war generations, a second generation Angeleno (on my father's side anyway). I spent the first 35 years of my life in the San Gabriel Valley and the beaches of La Jolla. I find that I have almost no affection for the place. I was last there in early 2003, and I hated every minute of it. Can't explain why. The weather was gorgeous, but even from the airplane, seeing sites that should have filled me with nostalgia, just made me want to go home to Germany.
I suppose it's a nice place to visit, but it's amazing how run down a lot of the things people want to see are. The corner of Hollywood and Vine is practically a slum. The Hollywood sign is best seen from a distance. Disneyland will require you to take out a mortgage on your house. I dunno.
Of course, there's a lot more to California then just the two metropolitan hubs of LA and SF. If you get the chance, you should also spend some time in the Mojave, the gold country, and way up in the northeast corner of the state are the fascinating Lava Beds National Monument and Lassen National Forest. I like the Lava Beds more, since it has a lot fewer visitors.

These two posts really just reflect my first two trips to California in 2002 and 2003. On the LA trip we also spent a few days in San Diego and drove through Orange County along the coast.
Work takes me to San Jose a lot so I've spent a lot more time in Silicon Valley than anywhere else in California. I've used there as a kicking off point to go to Santa Cruz and Muir Woods as well as into San Francisco.

San Francisco and Muir Woods
Two months ago I took a tour of Death Valley and you can't get more un-LA than there.

The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana is an Additional Central Assistance (ACA) scheme for agriculture and allied sectors, and was approved on 16 August 2007, with an envisaged outlay of Rs. 25,000 crores during the Eleventh Five Year Plan. By ensuring holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors, the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana aimed at contributing an achievement of 4 per cent annual growth in the agriculture sector during the Eleventh Plan period. The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana is the biggest scheme in the agriculture sector which aims at incentivising States to increase outlays for agriculture and allied sectors. The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana provides considerable flexibility to State Governments, and incentivises them to spend more on agriculture on the basis of district and State agriculture plans prepared with the participation of the local people. State and district plans under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana are prepared based on the resources available under all State and Central schemes. The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana funds provide substantial scaling up for specific programmes in the agricultural sector. The scheme is also being used to fill gaps under other schemes and programmes to synergise investments to raise the growth rate of agriculture. Implementation of the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana suggests that States have been taking up a wide range of projects across the agricultural and allied sectors, and that there are a couple of flagship projects with significant visibility in the States. However, the focus on integrating available resources from other schemes and selecting projects based on their growth potential is still to become fully evident. While 17 States have prepared State Agriculture Plans(SAPs), most others are in the process of completing their SAPs.
- To incentivise the States to increase their investment in agriculture and allied sectors.
- To provide flexibility and autonomy to the States in planning and executing programmes for agriculture.
- To ensure the preparation of agriculture plans for the districts and States.
- To achieve the goal of reducing the yield gaps in important crops.
- To maximise returns to the farmers.
- To address the agriculture and allied sectors in an integrated manner.
Basic Features
- It is a State plan scheme.
- The eligibility of a State for the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana is contingent upon the State to maintain or increase the State plan expenditure for agricultural and allied sectors.
- The preparation of the district and State agriculture plans is mandatory.
- The pattern of funding is 100 per cent Central Government grant.
- It integrates agriculture and allied sectors comprehensively.
- It gives high levels of flexibility to the States.
- Projects with definite time lines are highly encouraged.
Focus Areas
- Integrated development of food crops, including coarse cereals, minor millets and pulses.
- Agriculture mechanisation.
- Soil health and productivity.
- Development of rain fed farming systems.
- Integrated pest management.
- Market infrastructure.
- Horticulture.
- Organic and bio fertilisers.
The budget for the year 2011-2012 was Rs. 7860 crores which has been increased to Rs. 9217 crores for the period of 2012-2013 to provide the States with more flexibility and bigger financial support.
Problems and Challenges
The scheme was introduced to help the agricultural sector in increasing its pace of production and help in building the nation. But the scheme has come under a lot of criticism on various aspects. The amount allotted for the scheme has not reached the allotted areas and has gone into the dumps of corruption in many of the States including Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. New technologies were to be implemented for agricultural purposes but the technologies have not been implemented in most of the States with full effect. Farmers were supposed to be provided with adequate amounts for the yields, but till date complete adequacy in providing good amounts to the farmers has not been attained. Officials were vested with the responsibility of distributing pamphlets related to usage of fertilisers and other chemicals in fields but no pamphlets were distributed in the villages. The officials were also supposed to undertake 18 programmes in a month to teach the farmers different aspects of agriculture but no such arrangements have been made in many of the States. There is a sort of 'organised loot' which is carried out in the name of this project. Strict action is of utmost importance to stop this loot and allow proper implementation of the scheme for the benefit of the farmers and the country.

Yoga Teacher Training Forum
Yoga Instructors: Would you like to network with fellow teachers worldwide? Here is a resource to find answers for every possible question regarding continuing education, improving your classes, student safety and much more.
April 27, 2015
I just started yoga teacher training. I am one week into the training and feel I have made a huge mistake. Yoga has always been my source of refuge and solace and now I am feeling anxious and full of anxiety. The reason I started the training was because my yoga practice suffered when six months ago I moved far away from any yoga studios. The fitness center where I live could not find a yoga teacher and I thought I will teach yoga. Now I realize I don't think I want to teach yoga I want to practice yoga. Can anyone give any advice.

You will be a passenger of a flight of approximately one hour, above one of the most beautiful regions of France; and will also be day team members for the implementation of the hot-air balloon: equipment of the nacelle, the assembly of the burner, the inflating of the envelope...
Holder of a professional certificate of airline company, we thus have the structure to assure you flights in complete safety
Four passengers can take place in the nacelle with the pilot
The price rate is decreasing as you are 2, 3 or 4 persons and we also plan a special family price.
Note from now on that the flights can be made either in the morning at the time of the sunrise, or in the evening, this to avoid the upward movements of the air, due to the ground warmed by the sun.

Pros & Cons of Organ & Body Donation
Sometimes the only cure for someone suffering and dying is to receive a new organ. Hearts, livers, lungs, skin, corneas and other organs are harvested from those who have just passed away. Those vital organs are put into the bodies of the living. Nearly 100,000 people are waiting for organs in the U.S. Many will perish before they get one. Many will get a second chance at life.
Many people have reservations about organ donation 1. The main concerns swirl around the treatment of the body and any religious restrictions.
A Profundity of "Pros"
The pros of organ donation are obvious: Someone who will surely die receives a new organ and has a chance at life 1. Under some circumstances, one death might result in the continued life of several people. Depending on the conditions at death and the proximity to a major medical center, many organs could be harvested from the same body.
Sometimes relatives of the donor feel that if the organs go into young, deserving people, then their loss was not in vain. They believe that some good came from a tragic situation. Often an exchange of letters is possible between the organ recipient and the family of the donor. Donor families take some consolation in knowing that some part of their loved one continues in life.
Donating the Whole Body
If someone donates his body, it is usually used by medical students to practice surgical techniques. The "pros" here are that the young doctors need to become as proficient as possible in the techniques used to save other's lives. Working with cadavers is an invaluable experience in their medical training. There are no adequate simulations of a human cadaver.
Considering a "Con"
Most religions now allow organ donation, so that is no long a "con. 1"
Families might be confused by the fact that donor bodies are often kept on life support while the tissues are removed. Surgeons do not remove any tissues unless the person is brain dead, but they sometimes put the body on a ventilator to keep the heart pumping fresh blood into the tissues to keep them alive long enough to harvest. This is not the same as life, but there is a moment when the ventilator is removed and the heart stops.
One "con" might be that the donor does not usually get to choose who the organs go to, and perhaps an organ will go to someone of a different faith, political viewpoint or temperament than the donor. The donor has to believe that all life is sacred and that anyone who receives the "ultimate gift" of a donor organ will be grateful and be imbued with a sense of gratitude and a desire to pay it forward.
The Downside of Whole Body Donation
For the sensitive donor, there are some "cons" to body donation. The fact is that the body is kept for more time than when only donating organs. It might be in the facility for days or weeks. The body may be in an operating theater and viewed by many people. The use of the body does not directly save anyone's life, but aids in training doctors to save lives.
Movies have made us believe that cadavers are misused by medical students for practical jokes. While it can't be said this has never happened, most institutions have procedures in place to guard against this, and most medical students are serious and simply don't have the time to fool around with cadavers.
Note that while medical students quickly develop a utilitarian attitude toward the cadavers, an individual might have a strong emotional reaction to a cadaver, especially if the donor's body reminds the student of someone she knows.
Living Donors
It is possible to donate organs while you are still alive. Living people can donate a kidney, portions of the liver, lung, pancreas and intestines, as well as blood, and go on to live healthy lives. Most often it is relatives who do living tissue donation. It is possible, however, to register for completely humanitarian reasons and give organs to a stranger. Some illegal organ trafficking does occur; the World Health Organization estimates that as many as one-fifth of kidney donations may not be legitimately acquired 3.
Sign the Card
Anyone can become an organ donor. All that is necessary is to sign a card (see Organdonor.gov). You can register directly with the donor registry or sign the back of your driver's license. Children must have their parents' consent to become an organ donor. Even people who are sick may have some organs to offer to someone who needs them, or they may donate their bodies in entirety.
