Family Centered Treatment® (FCT) is a comprehensive service offered by Ireland Home Based Services in Regions 8, 10, 13 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. FCT was developed as a model of treatment for use in the provision of family preservation services. FCT is a best practice and evidence-based model of home based treatment that was developed by practitioners over a 20 year period. As a family systems model, FCT works toward sustained behavioral change for the family by restructuring critical areas of family functioning. FCT gives meaning to family members' perceptions, motivates them to action, and provides a method for functional behavioral change. Ireland Home Based Services specializes in Family Centered Treatment® for families experiencing difficulties associated with: Child abuse, neglect, family conflict, juvenile delinquency, and child or parental developmental disabilities and/or mental health problems.
Who is appropriate for FCT?Families who are maintained through preservation services or reunified as part of an identified permanency plan.
- Families for which there is a clear reunification plan for the child(ren) to return to the home within 30 days.
- Families seeking alternatives to residential placement for behavioral/emotional management.
- Families facing the removal of children from the home.
Juvenile Probation
- Cases in which family system changes are needed to address behaviors by utilizing parental involvement.
- "Repeat" families
- Families needing multiple services
- Families with domestic violence issues
- Families facing the removal of children from the home
What does FCT entail? What does it look like? How does it work?FCT is an intensive comprehensive service requiring at least 2 multi-hour family sessions a week that occurs in four phases over 6 months. FCT focuses on the underlying systemic issues and behavioral patterns of the entire family. FCT is family centered and genuinely strength-based. FCT goes beyond behavioral compliance and ensures sustained behavioral changes through value integration. While most services discharge at the first sign of progress, FCT leverages this important time in treatment to further practice new behaviors and lead the family to adopt a new status quo.
The 4 Phases of Family Centered TreatmentJoining– Month 1 During this phase the clinician engages the family and gains acceptance and trust. The Family Centered Evaluation is utilized to determine areas of family functioning that need adjustment. Restructuring—Months 2-4 The clinician directs the family in ways to alter ineffective behavioral patterns among family members. This process includes techniques to modify the crisis cycle to more effective and adaptive patterns of family functioning. Families practice suggestions in our presence so we can keep them on track or adjust as needed so they learn new skills. Trauma narratives may be used to help some family's process the emotional blocks that prevent them from moving forward in treatment. Valuing Changes—Month 5 Families begin to use new skills every day, even when clinician is out of the home; can handle more complex situations without needing assistance from clinician. Families begin to internalize or make the changes on their own, so they last. Clinician challenges the intent and reason for the behavioral changes that the family has made. Family members integrate new behaviors into their personal value system Generalization—Month 6 Families are prepared with a plan to keep moving forward and are more than ready to do it without help from their clinician.
FCT works to help families be able to:
- Achieve daily tasks and problem solve.
- Use clear and direct communication to say what they mean to the person that needs to hear it.
- Have parents reclaim their role as heads of the household, while children's roles reflect their developmental level.
- Express emotions with appropriate timing and intensity.
- Maintain healthy boundaries while meeting each other's needs.
- Set behavior expectations with appropriate rewards and consequences.

Wii U Evolution
Nintendo showed off its controller for its next system, the Wii U, at E3. The controller with its own user interface. The player can play the game directly on the controller which has a 6.2 inch touch screen. This allows the player to interact with the game very much like people are interacting more and more often with the world around them, through a mobile device.
Nintendo looked at how people are increasingly interacting with the world through tablets and smart phones and applied it directly to its next system. What will this bring to gaming? What does interacting with the real world through mobile devices bring? With mobile devices people are interacting with the world less directly and are missing out on reality. Whereas this controller will have you looking at the big screen less often. I like mobile devices. They do let you get more out of reality, I think, as long as you don't let them take over you or cause you to walk into fountains. I for one don't want this issue with the new Wii U controller, having Mario falling down holes or Link running into Baddies all the time.
What do you think about the Wii u controller? Yea or Nay?
Is it truly 1984?
In 1984, Apple had a commercial played at the Super bowl that made commercial history.
Years later, at the Super bowl, this Motorola Xoom commercial makes obvious reference to the 1984 commercial. While its awesome I can't say I'm going to go out and get a Xoom. I kinda still want an ipad, even if that will leave me in the sea of sameness that is 1984. And too bad Motorola isn't the only company making digs at Apple commercials right now. Tmobile got there first with the I'm a mac and pc campaign they've been on.
How do you like this Motorola commercial? Thing Apple turned into the bad guys from 1984 with its dominance over the mp3 and tablet markets? In 1984 Apple was the challenger that brought change to the market. Today who doesn't refer to an mp3 as an ipod? Or refers to a tablet as an ipad? Is it truly 1984 and can Motorola do what Apple did in 1984?

For couples divorcing while they're at or near retirement age, finances can more complicated than most. As a result, the American Institute of CPAs conducted a study to find out who manages money better after a later-in-life divorce: women or men?
Financial planners were surveyed and indicated that their female clients make better choices and improve their spending habits than their male counterparts. For example, the survey indicates that women are twice as likely to try to find a job and increase retirement savings.
Noting the importance of taking a long-term look at personal finances is the best approach a later-in-life divorce, the planners also say that there are other things that couples can do, too. These include the following preparations.
- Understanding how to manage personal finances.
- Understanding long-term financial planning consequences.
- Understanding the tax implications of a divorce settlement.
Worried you can't take this on while you're still emotional fragile? A great family lawyer will walk you through all these steps from start to finish. They may even suggest a few extra steps you can take now to make your life less stressful, such as updating your will or trust, increasing retirement savings and creating a prenuptial agreement if you choose to give marriage another go.
Before, during and after a divorce, managing finances and sticking to a budget are major priorities for both sides. There are dozens of decisions to be made about who gets what and how much, and by the time it's all said and done, it may seem like your life is turned upside down. Retaining a dedicated law firm can make that entire process much easier.

A team of scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has published their latest research results in Cancer Cell, showing that circulating tumor cells spread ovarian cancer through the bloodstream, homing in on a sheath of abdominal fatty tissue, the omentum, where it can grow and metastasize to other organs.
The researchers used a parabiosis mouse model, where two mice are joined at the skin from hip to shoulder, sharing blood supply but not lymphatic vessels. Ovarian cancer cells were then injected in the host mouse with metastasis found in the omenta of all host mice, whereas in the guest mice, metastatic cells and tumors were first found in the omentum before spreading to other organs.
"This was the most convincing way to prove that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play a role in metastasis," said first author Sunila Pradeep, Ph.D., instructor of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine.
So far, ovarian cancer has been thought mainly to spread through direct surface contact with neighboring organs in the abdominal cavity. "However, it also metastasizes to more distant organs such as the liver and spleen, which seems to indicate arrival through the bloodstream," said senior author Anil Sood, M.D., professor of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine and Cancer Biology, who has an appointment in Cancer Biology and holds the Betty Ann Asche Murray Distinguished Professorship in Ovarian Cancer Research.
Gene expression between the original ovarian cancer cell line and its metastatic version found in the omentum was compared and expression of HER3, a receptor tyrosine-protein kinase, was highly elevated and activated. Its ligand, NRG1, was abundantly expressed on the metastatic cells, revealing ErbB3- NRG1 axis as the dominant pathway responsible for hematogenous omental metastasis. Blocking NRG1 with siRNA in mice with ovarian cancer significantly reduced metastasis since "the NRG1 ligand expressed in the omentum attracts HER3-positive CTCs," Sood said.
Furthermore, the majority (>95%) of CTCs recovered from mice with metastatic ovarian cancer were HER3-positive, correlating with a higher tumor burden and shorter survival, with HER3 depletion resulting in impaired omenal metastasis.
The high levels of expression of HER3 in these cells make it a potential biomarker with possible therapeutic options in designing alternative strategies for prevention and treatment of ovarian cancer metastasis.
"The CTCs are not just a correlation, they seem to have a functionally important role in metastasis," Sood said. Though ovarian tumor cells are found abundantly in the blood vessels of the omentum and CTCs are present in ovarian cancer patients, the role and importance of CTCs was not well understood.
The researchers also analyzed samples from 11 ovarian cancer patients, with the majority of the cells proving to be HER3 positive. In a group of 217 advanced-stage patients, lower HER3 expression correlated with improved overall survival of 4.9 years compared to 3.15 years for high-HER3 tumors.
HER3 expression was significantly correlated with advanced-stage disease at diagnosis and its expression was shown to be higher in human stage 3 and 4 tumors compared to stage 1 and 2 tumors.
Future studies from the team will aim to understand how to intervene in this cancer-spreading process and to further explore routes into drug development.
With HER3 possible becoming a biomarker for occurrence in women at high-risk of developing ovarian cancer, maintaining an anti-HER3 therapy after treatment could prevent metastasis to the omentum. With this prospective in mind, clinical trials are already under way for pertuzumab, an antibody that blocks HER3 family member HER2, to understand if it could actually hinder both proteins in ovarian and breast cancer.

Instagram presently reigns as one of the most famous apps used by everyone especially the teens.
So, what exactly is Instagram? Instagram is a social imaging site, a network of connected active users who chat and share by posting photos. The name is a cross between "instant", meaning instant instantaneous, and "gram", meaning "drawn" like in a picture.
The application is of course free, it very well may be downloaded on any device and it enables users to modify their pictures utilizing filters before publishing them in their feeds.
Everybody loves Instagram particularly teens. It can't be denied that to them, "Instagram is life!".
The application is a habit they would prefer not to kick. Some may end up devoured by Netflix or Facebook, however, the genuine trap is Instagram. With artsy photos, fun filters, and selfies, it's easy to tell how teens get silly addicted, in spite of those annoying Instagram glitches.
So why are teenagers so addicted to Instagram?
The answer is more intricate than you might think. It is concluded in a recent study released in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that taking photos of a specific occasion can really influence the individual to recollect the occasion more, hence making them more joyful if the occasion was an amusing one.
Having a photograph to glance back at as a souvenir of a particular time makes the temporal lobes of the brain to activate, helping to recall the memory. Those who took photographs of different experiences detailed an inclination to re-enjoy and feel the same feelings as back when the picture was taken, regardless of how important or unimportant the occasion was.
We check Instagram continually for two other enormous reasons: to check what number of preferences/remarks we are getting on our photographs and additionally staying aware of every other person inspired by a paranoid fear of passing up a great opportunity. After the greater part of the diligent work somebody had put into making a photograph, it is satisfying to get likes after likes for it.
When somebody gets a like, it discharges the serotonin molecule in their brain, which is otherwise called the "upbeat compound". The habit likewise originates from the way that clients would prefer not to pass up what different clients are doing. As a general rule, individuals don't have to see another selfie of a young lady with idealizing cosmetics or yet another photograph of somebody's puppy, yet the sentiment of being tuned in is compelling.
Likewise, with around 544 million posts per day teens can never get bored with Instagram. There is continually something fresh to look into, particularly with the search they follow.
What do Parents of these Teens Need to Know?
As with all social media networks available on the Web today, parents should take time to monitor their teen's online activity, yet their most powerful weapon is a conversation. They'll need to explain to their daughters and sons the threats related to social media sharing, that it is their obligation as a parent to monitor their online activity and explain the real reason why they have to monitor to prevent offense and trust issues. They need to educate their children about the threats of online addiction as well.
To those parents with a teen who is obsessed with social media, Instagram in particular, that doesn't essentially mean they are being destructively influenced. There is no need to confiscate gadgets, as it may only create gaps and grave familial conflicts. The best thing to do is to boost teens to have a healthy relationship with their devices and be responsible when using them.

There's a few secrets to creating the Best Spaghetti Bolognese recipe and here I'll show you exactly what they are! A delicious and easy bolognese that your family are going to fall in love with.
Spaghetti Bolognese – the ultimate comfort food. The comfiest of comfort food if you will, and literally my favourite home cooked meal of all time. With so many different recipes out there it's difficult to know what's truly good advice. The beauty of this dish is there really isn't a right or wrong way to make it. Having said that, I'm here today to present my argument for the BEST way to make it! So strap yourselves in and unbuckle those eating pants, cause things are about to get tasty..
So, the best spaghetti bolognese you say?
*drunk stranger heckles from back row*
Yeah, I kinda guess so.. For me and my family anyway. A recipe I've been making for too long I care to remember and one I hold close to my dear bacon wrapped heart. One I'm now super duper excited to be sharing with ya'll!
Now, time for the important stuff. What makes this spaghetti bolognese recipe different from the rest?
*stranger heckles considerably louder*
Okay let's grab that bottle and put it to good use.
Tips for the Best Spaghetti Bolognese
- Red Wine – Yep, you guessed it. My first absolute must ingredient is red wine in a bolognese. Adding a good glug of red wine to a bolognese gives a gorgeous depth of flavour. That and beef & red wine are a match made in heaven.
- Bacon – A guy with a blog called 'Don't Go Bacon My Heart' adding bacon to a bolognese, who'd have thought!? But all jokes aside bacon in a bolognese is an absolute must. It adds a smoky twang to the bolognese and also plays off the beef nicely. Pork and beef is often a combo of meats that go neatly together, just like making meatballs. The bacon also adds a second layer of texture which compliments the ground beef.
- Time – If you ignore the wine and bacon, for heavens sake please don't ignore this tip. Ever been rushing around trying to cook a quick bolognese, serving it on the spaghetti and BAM. It's sat in a pool of watery tomato juice. Oh and the meat is pretty rough too. Yep, we've all been there. The key to a delicious bolognese is allowing the mince to simmer for up to an hour. This not only allows the beef to soak up all those gorgeous flavours, but keeps it mouthwateringly tender. As there is a fair load of tomato in this recipe it's crucial to allow the bolognese to naturally thicken.
And those my friends, are 3 tips that will totally change up your bolognese game!
Alongside red wine, bacon and time, there's a couple of other goodies that fit perfectly.
I love throwing in some sun dried tomatoes. Apart from the fact I'm mildly addicted to these things in pretty much every context, I feel they really champion the tomato flavour shining through this dish and add another dynamic to the texture.
A big handful of fresh basil and a couple dashes of worcestershire sauce don't go amiss.
And finally a big hello to our good friend Parmesan as well.
Because is a spaghetti bolognese a spaghetti bolognese without a bucket of parmesan plonked on top?
As a whole this recipe couldn't be easier to make. Because in my eyes the best bolognese is an easy bolognese.
It's far too often you see recipes tarting about with this recipe when it's really not needed. Like has anybody really got the time to hunt down Veal or roast some tomatoes? Nope. A spaghetti bolognese is renowned for being a no fuss simple dinner and that's how I like it to remain.
The only hard part is trying not to nibble away at the entire bowl before it's served.
All in all there's just a few tips and tricks to creating the perfect spaghetti bolognese. Is this a traditional spaghetti bolognese recipe? Potentially not. However it is a delicious and easy spaghetti bolognese recipe that your family are absolutely going to fall in love with!
Okay let's wrap this up, I'm hungry.

Rarified Books
Just back from a week at the California Rare Books School at UCLA, I have been thinking about the love of books. I have been thinking about the physical beauty of the object itself, about the pleasure we get when we hold in our hands a rough cloth binding or matte paperback or even a dogeared old bestseller we bought third- or fourth-hand at Half Price Books.
Rare Books School cultivates, among other things, a love for the material book. At CRBS you can learn to identify printing presses and types, lithographs and woodcuts, vellum bindings and aluminum inlays and firebrands burned into the paper edges of old books. David Szewczyk, one of the co-insructors for History of the Book in Latin America, brought a suitcase full of books from Philadelphia and so I had the opportunity to hold what is known (inaccurately) as a "rice paper" book: a book printed on native fibers in the Phillipines. I held, and there was something sacred in holding, announcements printed in seventeenth century Peru and catechisms "en lengua mexicana" from early colonial Mexico.
David Szewczyk's collection was a special privilege: most of the books I saw in California were untouchable. At the Huntington the pages were turned for us by the estimable Stephen Tabor; at the Getty, the librarians who turned the pages wore gloves. These books are so precious they cannot be touched. They are, for the most part, accessible to the public, and yet they are hidden behind walls and under glass. No longer books, they have been turned into artifacts, and the places that hold them are not libraries but museums.
These early printed books carry a wealth of scholarly potential. But one does not read them for pleasure alone.
Except you can, now. At the Internet Archive, a project that both aggregates digital facsimiles of old books and actively archives the internet itself, you can view the four extant pages of the Manual de Adultos, the first known book printed in Mexico (Juan Pablos, 1540). The site also features my favorite early printed book, the Arte de la Lengua Aymara*. Printed by Jesuit monks at Juli (Peru) in the seventeenth century, the book presents what one bibliographer calls a "first-class mystery": the monks had no legal right to have a printing press at Juli at all. Speculation suggests that they bribed a printer in Lima (Francisco del Canto) for the use of his name in order to evade the inquisition.
For those interested in early Mexican printing, the Primeros Libros project, run by Texas A&M in collaboration with several other important libraries in the US and Mexico, has digitized early Mexican printed books. Their collection includes books printed by Juan Pablos (the first printer in Mexico); Antonio de Espinosa (the first talented printer in Mexico); Luis Ocharte (prosecuted by the Inquisition for "lutheran sentiments"); and Antonio Ricardo (later to become the first printer in Peru). Their interface is beautiful and easy to use — almost like reading a book.
I am conflicted about digitization. It reduces the beauty of the object and the 'rarity' of these old books. But it gives us access to books we could never, otherwise, read.
*NB: One problem with the labyrinth of digitization: I'm not sure that this is the correct link. I had read about the "vocabulario de la lengua aymara" printed in Juli, but archives.org shows that title printed in Lima and this "arte…" printed in Juli. The title page is absent from the facsimile linked here, so I cannot confirm its accuracy.

Joining VeloClub not only supports the work we do, there are some fantastic benefits:
by Matt de Neef
March 18, 2014
In this morning's edition of the Rocacorba Daily news digest: Cavendish and Petacchi go 1-2 at Tirreno-Adriatico; Horner quits Tirreno-Adriatico with achilles tendinitis; Betancur targeting white jersey at Le Tour; Paolo Bettini working hard to build Team Alonso; Cycling can reduce your flu risk – study; Caught on camera – motorist hits a cyclist; What not to do as a spectator at a bike race; "The Little Things"; Ride to School Day tomorrow.
Mark Cavendish took a comfortable victory in stage 6 of Tirreno-Adriatico last night to set up an Omega Pharma-QuickStep 1-2 on the stage and notch up his second win of the year.
Cavendish was given a perfect lead-out by his team and when he crossed the line he did so more than five bike lengths clear of his teammate Alessandro Petacchi in second. Cannondale's Peter Sagan was third.
"We had all the big motors in the last four kilometers," said Cavendish. "Tony (Martin) just went on the front with no one to match us.
"Then Kwiato (Kwiatkowski) went and took us into the last kilometer. it was down to Matteo (Trentin), (Mark) Renshaw, (Alessandro) Petacchi, and myself.
"I knew when Renshaw went with about 600 meters to go, I knew it would be hard for anyone to pass because we were going that fast. We were doing more than 1000 watts for the last 600 meters. It was like doing a sprint."
A four-rider break of Peter Kennaugh (Sky), Steve Morabito (BMC), Jack Bauer (Garmin-Sharp) and Cesare Benedetti (NetApp-Endura) was caught in the closing kilometres before Philippe Gilbert (BMC) launched a solo attack. But Gilbert was caught, setting up a sprint finish which Omega Pharma-QuickStep executed perfectly.
Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) finished in the main bunch, six seconds behind the lead group of 12 riders, and holds on to his overall lead of 2:08 going into the final stage ITT tonight.
"It was a perfect scenario for us. We were hoping that the sprinters's teams would take the reigns of the pack and as Kittel was dropped, they were all eager to work in the front so we didn't have to," said Tinkoff-Saxo sporting director Philippe Mauduit.
"Now, we're only one stage away from the overall win and let's face it, it looks pretty promising with a two minute lead to Quintana.
"But history shows that many unforeseen things can happen during a time trial and we're not celebrating until Alberto crosses the finish line tomorrow."

Chris Horner (Lampre-Merida) abandoned Tirreno-Adriatico before last night's sixth stage after suffering from tendinitis in his Achilles tendon.
Horner was 11th on the general classification after five stages, a little more than three minutes behind Contador.
"Horner is suffering from tendinitis at the left Achilles tendon," team doctor Beltemacchi Matteo said in a press release. "As jointly agreed, in order to avoid a worsening of the situation, Chris will quit the race."
Leaving T/A with a sore Achilles. First time here in 1998 four more times after that, and I have never left in one piece.

A few days after becoming the first Colombian to win Paris-Nice, Carlos Betancur (Ag2r) has set his sights on the Ardennes Classics and his debut Tour de France, where he's hoping to win the best young rider classification.
Betancur won the best young rider classification at last year's Giro d'Italia after an entertaining tussle with Rafal Majka but this year's he's aiming for the French Grand Tour.
"I've done the Giro d'Italia twice; it's an important and hard race, but it's every rider's wish to go to the Tour because that's where you graduate", Betancur said. "The white jersey is a dream and I'm going to work very hard to get it."
Betancur is currently tied with Simon Gerrans at the top of the UCI individual rankings with his two stage victories and overall win at Paris-Nice adding to his stage and overall win at Haut Var a few weeks ago.
The Colombian will go into the Ardennes Classics as one of the favourites, after finishing third at Fleche Wallonne and fourth at Liege-Bastogne-Liege last year, and showing he's in good form early in 2014.

Preparations for Fernando Alonso's new cycling team appear to be continuing apace with Paolo Bettini, who's expected to take on a managerial role at the new team, seen at Tirreno-Adriatico speaking to riders.
Bettini reportedly spoke at length with Peter Sagan, and also crossed paths with Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) and stage 2 winner Matteo Pelucchi (IAM Cycling).
"I'm working but I'm also saying hello to lots of friends," Bettini told journalists. "We're busy working because January 1st is getting close. We're working on what is a great project. I'm discovering more about it every day," Bettini said.
"I can't say much more. It'll be Fernando who'll do the talking. I've got to focus on getting the work done. He'll give more details when it's the right moment."
"We will announce the sponsor shortly," Bettini told journalists. "It's only a matter of days. They have to finalise some of the details but before the big classics, you should know everything."
The team's sponsor is rumoured to be coming from the Middle East, possibly from Dubai.

A new survey from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine suggests that two and a half hours of vigorous cycling a week cuts the risk of catching the flu by around 10%.
The findings come from the research organisation's online flu study, Flusurvey, and suggest that gentle cycling has little effect — the activity needs to be strenuous enough to make you sweat or breathe hard.
Dr Alma Adler, research fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: "We're really interested in the preliminary findings around fitness activity and flu-like illness, as exercise is something that everyone can do to reduce your chance of having flu.
"We need to treat this result cautiously as these are preliminary findings, however they are consistent with findings for other conditions and really show the health benefits of exercise."

With the Australian cycling community focused on the crash in Sydney on the weekend, a video has surfaced of another incident up in Brisbane.
According to the Courier Mail, the rider "escaped with a sore neck, hips, elbows and cuts and bruises."
The person who posted the video on YouTube, Andrew Ison, told the Courier that the driver of the white car was doing a head-check to change lanes when the impact occurred.
According to the Courier Mail "no charges have been laid against the female driver of the car, but investigations are continuing."
Click here to read the full article at the Courier Mail but it's probably best to avoid the comments section.
Team Sky has released a handful of short films showing some of the "little things" they do as a team that have helped "Team Sky become one of the best". Here's one of the videos:
The remaining videos can be found here, at road.cc.
The stats are pretty damning: back in the 1970s as much as 80% of all school children rode or walked to school. Nowadays it's down around 20%. There's little doubt that keeping kids healthy and active is good for them and for society more generally and this is the thought behind Ride to School Day.

And finally this morning, here are a few things you might have missed yesterday at CyclingTips:

Even Fake Law Enforcement Agencies Can Get Weapons of War for 'Policing'
It appears all law enforcement — even a "fictitious federal agency" — can get federally supplied weapons of war, with quite literally, no questions asked.
We learned this a few days ago when the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a troubling assessment of the Department of Defense 1033 program. The 1033 program gives federal, state, and local law enforcement surplus military weapons and equipment for use in routine policing. The 1033 program is the poster-child of federal programs responsible for the militarization of U.S. police.
GAO indicated that the Defense Department does not verify the identification of individuals picking up military weapons through 1033. And GAO found that the Pentagon does not verify the quantity of military weapons transferred through 1033. GAO said Defense "lacks reasonable assurance that it has the ability to prevent, detect, and respond to potential fraud and minimize associated security risks."
And just how did GAO reach this conclusion? GAO posed as a fake federal law enforcement agency and secured military weapons through 1033. They sought $1.2 million worth of rifles, pipe bomb equipment, and night vision googles. And they got them. "It was like getting stuff off of eBay," according to GAO staff.
The ACLU criticized the 1033 program in its 2014 report, "War Comes Home: The Excessive Militarization of American Policing." And in Ferguson, Missouri, in the aftermath of the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, the world got to see for itself just what is wrong with militarized policing. Those protesting Brown's death were met with armored vehicles, shotguns, rifles, tear gas, and rubber bullets. Veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars expressed horror that they, while on active duty overseas, were less heavily armed and combative than the local police in Ferguson.
Then President Barack Obama was troubled too. He issued Executive Order 13688 in January 2015 to put necessary oversight and protocols in place around law enforcement use of military weapons doled out by the federal government. Certain weapons, like bayonets and tanks, would become prohibited, and other equipment, like Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs) and drones, would be subject to tighter controls that included training supervision, evaluation, and auditing. To do this, E.O. 13688 created an interagency working group that included the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security — the primary federal providers of military weapons and equipment to law enforcement.
At a minimum, the working group was supposed to ensure that the agencies giving out these military-grade weapons were talking to one another. But at a September 2014 congressional hearing on federal militarization programs, officials from Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security admitted that they had never met before. This meant that the Pentagon could provide an MRAP to a police department subjected to Department of Justice complaints of police misconduct.
But what this GAO report reveals is that Defense may not only be out of touch with Justice, but with the very law enforcement agencies that it's lending military weapons to. Just what has the Department of Defense and the interagency working group been doing for the last two years? The oversight and protocols – were those fake too?
Honestly, you can't make this stuff up, which is frightening since President Trump doesn't believe the program needs any oversight at all
During the campaign, Trump promised to repeal Executive Order 13688. Not to be outdone, the House voted earlier this month to prioritize the 1033 program for border enforcement. So instead of trying to fix 1033 as GAO indicates is necessary, it's likely the White House and Congress will allow this program to go further off the rails.
This morning, a House Armed Services subcommittee will convene a hearing to examine the GAO report. After the latest debacle, let's hope Congress has the sense to rein the 1033 program in by enacting the Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act, which eliminates the federal gifting of MRAPs and grenades to police once and for all. State and local communities must also take control over the weapons of war coming to their towns, just as we are asking them to take control of surveillance. If your police department wants an MRAP, you and your neighbors should decide — no one else.
"night vision googles"???

it seems the only reason for local police to have military style weapons is to use it on its citizens, right? although I remember a bank robbery in CA, where the robbers had such weapons, and cops had to "borrow" weapons from gun shop
- reply
- July 27, 2017
That was the North Hollywood Shootout. The LAPD were out gunned by the bank robbers and had to run to B&B to borrow guns so they could get back in the fight. What is kept from the public is how a liberal socialist judge gave the felons back their illegal full-auto AK's. The judge illegally trafficked in illegal weapons to known criminals and then had the files sealed so as to keep all the BS from the public. There is a film '44 minutes' about the shootout on you tube.
There are many different taxpayer paid for items through this program and not just firearms.

Militarization of our police force aside, what's to stop a terrorist group from setting up a "law enforcement" front and funnel equipment for use against our troops.

It's possible the GAO availed itself of means not available to non-government actors, such as being able to set up phoney .gov email addresses and websites. If so, it would be premature to worry about non-governmental actors being able to do what the GAO did, or that the DoD hands out equipment to just anyone. But it's still pretty frightening that anything that passes the most cursory examination of being an actual government agency can get military hardware, with almost no questions asked (such as "can you demonstrate an actual need for this kit?")
- July 28, 2017
It is equally possible that terrorists, foreign or domestic, could avail themselves of the same means that the GAO did.

thanks for share..its so interesting

- July 27, 2017
The other side of this story is that although we know there is plenty of fraud, waste and abuse across the federal government, at least there are attempts to identify these issues and fix them. It is probably only a drop in the bucket, though...
- reply
- July 28, 2017
Did you miss the part where Trump has vowed to ignore the issues identified and quite possibly, along with Congress, actually double down on the militarization instead? Combined with his recent speech to law enforcement where he encouraged needless brutality, I can't see this being anything but destructive to civility and the rule of law. Trump is not only adding to the foundation of a police state but ensuring that they are armed to the gills as well. Our towns and cities will basically be under military occupation, except in name. And with much less training and restraint unfortunately.

New Release: The Barren
Posted Aug 24 2017
Vala Yarlen is one of the Barren—an infertile female sent to live with the others of her kind, on the fringes of Kelderan society. General Thorin Jarrell's father was one of the greatest Kelderan enemies—the Brevkan. Each is an outcast in their own way and neither expected to find someone to love. However, when they're thrown together on a colony transport ship to Jasvar, they start to wonder if maybe they can find it after all.
The Barren is just over 75,000 words with a happy ending. Click your vendor of choice:

A system for the automatic production of controlled index terms is presented using linguistically-motivated techniques. This includes a finite-state part of speech tagger, a derivational morphological processor for analysis and generation, and a unificationbased shallow-level parser using transformational rules over syntactic patterns. The contribution of this research is the successful combination of parsing over a seed term list coupled with derivational morphology to achieve greater coverage of multi-word terms for indexing and retrieval. ...

Rapid and inexpensive techniques for automatic transcription of speech have the potential to dramatically expand the types of content to which information retrieval techniques can be productively applied, but limitations in accuracy and robustness must be overcome before that promise can be fully realized. Combining retrieval results from systems built on various errorful representations of the same collection offers some potential to address these challenges.

In order to get a clearer picture of language teaching and, consequently, of how to avoid bored and boring teachers, let's address a list of the services teachers should provide. Traditionally, language teachers trained and checked six core competences: vocabulary, understanding of speech, production of speech, reading, writing, and grammar. As we have seen in the Words chapter, vocabulary training is inherently a lonely job because nobody except yourself can transfer thousands of words into your brain.

The National Conference is emerging as a modern African form of government restructuring. It is closely modeled on village consensus politics. Under the silk cotton tree in the center of the village, every Elder in turn takes the Word and has his say. Each Elder carefully repeats the points he agrees with from previous speeches, then adds certain aspects that will be taken up and repeated in their turn. So finally the Chief interprets consensus. This is the decision of the village... It is slow but it works. Robert Lacville Guardian Weekly, October 27, 1991 At a recent...

This paper pinpoints some of the problems faced when a computer text production model (COMMENTATOR) is to produce spontaneous speech, in speech. This paper discusses some of the problems in the light of the computer model of verbal production presented £n Sigurd (1982), Fornell (1983). For experimental purposes a simple speech synthesis device (VOTRAX) has been used. The Problem of producing naturally sounding utterances is also met in text-to-speech systems (see e.g. Carlson & Granstr~m, 1978). ...

To respond to an utterance, a listener must interpret what others have said and why they have said it. Misunderstandings occur when agents differ in their beliefs about what has been said or why. Our work combines intentional and social accounts of discourse, unifying theories of speech act production, interpretation, and the repair of misunderstandings.

In a country like the US, That is founded upon competitions and capitalism, producing clever television advertisements is the only way to keep up with a company's competitors. If this means that false information must be presented by doctors, athletes, or celebrities to promote a product, then so be it. The US believes in freedom of speech, and the first amendment certainly protects the company's right to advertise in a testimonial fashion.

The characteristics of a speech signal that are exploited for various applications of speech signal processing to be discussed later in this section on speech processing (e.g., coding, recognition, etc.) arise from the properties and constraints of the human vocal apparatus. It is, therefore, useful in the design of such applications to have some familiarity with the process of speech generation by humans.

Communication is the key to success in any business. Whether you are trying to sell a product, answer a query or complaint or convince your colleagues to adopt a certain course of action, good communication often means the difference between success and failure. At best, imprecise language, clumsy sentences or long-winded 'waffle', whether in speech or writing, will give a poor impression of you or your business; at worst, what you are trying to say will be misunderstood or ignored.

Places to Visit in (or near) Naga City
It's summer again! Time to escape to paradise and get those oh-so-fashionable tan lines. The urban setting has its numerous appeals, I'll grant you that. But come summer, there's nothing more wonderful than the feeling of the sun on your face and the sand between your toes. And may we be so bold as to say that this time of the year belongs to Naga City. 😉
If you're looking for places to visit in Naga City or places to visit near Naga City, you've come to the right place! Cam Sur has a lot to offer whether you're a nature lover, an adventure junkie, or a hopeless romantic planning a glorious getaway.
There are a lot of awesome tourist spots in the Philippines but Cam Sur is where you can actually be one with nature at its full, raw, least altered majesty. The locals are friendly, the beaches less crowded, and the food is great. Moraville Restaurant's Eat All You Can Buffet features authentic Bicolano dishes from laing to Bicol express!
IMHO, the following are some of the best places to visit in Naga City/ best places to visit near Naga City.
- Caramoan
This is perhaps one of the most popular places to visit near Naga City.
From Naga City, drive to Sabang Port. This drive will take you 1 hour and 30 minutes. You have to wake up really early to catch the passenger boat which will take you to Guijalo Port. The first trip is at 5:30 in the morning and the last trip is at 1 o'clock pm. Take note that there's a boat that sails every hour. The boat ride is pretty cheap and it will take you a couple of hours to get to Caramoan.
Of course, you'll have to do some pre-planning regarding your accommodations/island-hopping packages in Caramoan. All the islands are unique and beautiful in their own way but I highly recommend Matukad Island. The quality of the beach is fine, white, and powdery. If this isn't heaven, what is?
Other islands to explore:
Lahos Island
Honongan beach
Basud beach
Manlawi Sandbar (another personal favorite)
Cotivas Island
Bag-ing beach
Sabitang Laya
Gota beach
The Caramoan islands are exceptional because apart from the immaculate waters, you get to marvel at the gorgeous rock formations. But perhaps the true appeal of Caramoan is that it's devoid of large-scale developments and thus, it's able to retain its unspoiled state.
Whichever you choose to visit, you'll want to look for an accommodation in Naga City.
Whether you're a solo traveler or travelling as a family, Moraville Hotel and Restaurant can provide you with rooms that are comfortable and affordable, perfect for budget travelers.
Moraville Hotel and Restaurant is right at the heart of Naga City, within walking distance from drug stores, restaurants and fast foods, convenience stores, and grocery stores. So if you need to grab some sunscreen, food, umbrellas, swimsuit, or whatever it is that you need before going off on your island adventure, you can easily get it.
Moraville Hotel and Restaurant is also one tricycle ride away (5 minutes) from SM Naga City and the bus station. Its strategic location provides you with easy access to various modes of public transportation.
Travelling to Naga City by plane? Don't worry, we'll pick you up. Moraville Hotel and Restaurant offers free shuttle service from the Pili Airport to the hotel and vice versa!
- Aguirangan
If you're a little pressed for time (or energy or budget) or if you just want a whole-day swim as opposed to an overnight excursion, then we suggest the Aguirangan Island.
Found along the Lagonoy Gulf, the Aguirangan Island is a 1.5 hectare of immaculate beach surrounded by crystal waters. If you choose to visit Caramoan, you'll see this along the way. Because of the shorter boat ride, this is more ideal if you got kids traveling with you.
Just don't expect hotels and restaurants and bathrooms! In fact, you won't find any stores on the island. The Aguirangan Island continues to be one of the best places to visit in Naga City/ places to visit near Naga City because it enables you to enjoy the island at its virgin state. So if you're game, feel free to bring your portable cooker, your own baon, and do ihaw-ihaw on the island.
Another wonderful thing about this island is that you'll get an awesome view of the perfect cone-shaped Mayon Volcano on a sunny day. This is also one of the best-known diving spots in Cam Sur.
If you live outside Bicol and plan to see only the Aguirangan Island, then you should definitely seek accommodation in Naga City.
If you're traveling to Naga City by car, check in at Moraville Motorlodge where you can get a safe parking space for your vehicle and a comfortable and affordable room for yourself.
- Panicuason Hot Spring Resort
If you're not so keen on the idea of an island adventure or if you're travelling with kids or elders, then you may wish to visit the Hot Spring Resort in Panicuason instead. It's just a 30 minutes ride away from Naga City.
There are lots of cool places to visit in Naga City/ places to visit near Naga City but this local gem is right on top of the list. The place has improved a great deal over the years and now it attracts adventure junkies with its wall climbing, rappelling, and 200 meters and 100 meters zip line. During the exhilarating ride, you'll get to enjoy a wonderful view of Mt. Isarog in its wild tropical perfection.
The natural warm water heals the body but the lush green surroundings purify the soul. It's a really great place to bond with nature and the entrance fee is cheap as chips.
This is a great place to visit with your family. Contact Moraville Hotel and Restaurant to know more about budget-friendly family rooms.
- Malabsay Falls
Fancy hiking to Malabsay falls? If you're a nature lover thirsting for cool water and soothing green vistas, check this place out. Located at the foot of Mt. Isarog, this local treasure is certainly one of the places to visit in Naga City/ places to visit near Naga City.
If you're a solo traveler, contact Moraville Hotel and Restaurant to know more about budget-friendly single rooms.
This tourist attraction is roughly 40 minutes away from Moraville Hotel and Restaurant.
If you want to engage in water sports or maybe just go for a dip, one of the recommended places to visit in Naga City/ places to visit near Naga City is the Camarines Sur Watersports Complex. It's ideal for tourists of all ages and especially popular among wakeboarders!
Like most famous tourist attractions in Naga City, this man-made attraction is only a few minutes ride away from Moraville Hotel and Restaurant.
Book your ticket, make your reservations, and don't forget your sunscreen. You know where you need to be this summer! 😉

Fighting global inequality with Islamic finance
A January 2017 report issued by Oxfam found that the eight richest individuals in the world have a net wealth of $426 billion–equivalent to the total amount of wealth held by the poorest 50% of the global population (some 3.7 billion people). That same report found that the world's 10 largest corporations together have revenue greater than that of the 180 poorest countries combined. Not included in the report is the similarly deplorable statistic that nearly 25% of the 1.6 billion Muslims globally live in extreme poverty.
While tools like zakat — which requires Muslims to give 2.5% of their wealth each year to help those in need — are vital in the struggle to mitigate the effects of inequality, we can sometimes overlook the potential of faith-based solutions to address the root causes of inequality as well. One of the most significant of these causes — the lack of financial inclusion — can be effectively addressed through access to Islamic banking.
Only 10-15% of adults in Muslim-majority countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Central, South, and Southeast Asia have bank accounts. Greater access to formal financial services like Islamic banking could help alleviate the structural poverty in these regions and close the gap between rich and poor by offering sustainable financing solutions. Islamic banking institutions, also known as participation banks, adhere to the principles of profit- and loss-sharing and avoid interest-based lending, while also setting aside a certain amount of funding to serve the communities in which they operate.
Principles of economic fairness date back thousands of years, but modern manifestations of Islamic banking can be traced to the 1960s. Multilateral institutions and politicians, however, have only recently begun to harness Islamic banking's potential in the struggle for financial inclusion.
The government of Morocco provides the latest example of a country advancing Islamic banking to promote access to finance and financial products for its citizens. In January 2017, Bank al Maghrib (BAM), the nation's central bank, announced that it had approved five requests to open Islamic banks in Morocco. The regulatory approvals concern the three major Moroccan banks: Attijariwafa Bank, BMCE of Africa, and Banque Centrale Populaire, and two smaller lenders, Credit Agricole and Credit Immobilier et Hotelier.
This announcement was the culmination of a government campaign launched years earlier to push Islamic banking solutions with the goal of boosting financial inclusion.
According to Thomson Reuters, the number of Moroccans with bank accounts and access to financing has increased rapidly in recent years, from 50% in 2010 to 65% 2015, representing one of the highest levels on the continent. Building on this growth, BAM is reportedly working with the Ministry of Economy and Finance to further expand opportunities to marginalized communities with the creation of a three-year comprehensive financial inclusion strategy. They hope to leverage Islamic banking to transition the remainder of the unbanked population to the customer ranks in order to give them faith-appropriate tools necessary for empowerment and social mobility.
From the UK to Malaysia, the Moroccan example is being replicated around the world as policymakers begin to recognize the potential for faith-based solutions to attack the root causes of inequality and underdevelopment. But more work is needed. It will take extra commitment from market participants and political actors alike to advocate for sustainable responses to a world that permits increasing inequality, disproportionately enriching a handful of financial elites. The ethics of an Islamic economy should be part of that response.
Jamal Barmil is vice president at Azzad Asset Management, a socially responsible registered investment advisor located in Falls Church, Virginia. Although Azzad is a registered investment advisor and not an Islamic bank, the firm regularly invests in Islamic banking products to earn a competitive, socially responsible return for clients.

Thank You
As some people journey through life, they leave footprints wherever they go. Footprints of kindness and love, courage and compassion, humor and inspiration, joy and faith. Even when they're gone, we can still look back and clearly see the trail they left behind. A trail bright with hope that invites us to follow.
We want to thank everyone who have kept us in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of losing our son Ryan Paavola. Thanks to those who brought food, sent flowers, cards, memorials, and helped with yard work and for just being there for us. Words cannot begin to express our gratitude. Ryan will be missed but will live on forever in our hearts.

Genetic engineering not the solution to hunger in Africa
Tuesday March 30 2010
Genetic engineering is a technology in search of a problem; a product in search of a market. This should be foremost in the minds of civil society leaders, farmers and politicians attending the "Innovation and partnerships to realise Africa's rice potential" conference in Mali this week.
Lobbyists from the genetic engineering (GE) industry are offering Africa a stark choice between hunger and GE crops. This is a false choice. Hunger can be avoided without growing and eating GE crops.
Ecological farming which nurtures our soils, cultivates diversity and supplies our families with safe and nutritious food, is the only way to address effectively the serious triple crises of food security, water scarcity and climate change.
Is ecological farming an utopian pipe dream? No. Backed by Unep and the UN Agriculture Assessment, the benefits of ecological farming systems are well known and documented by a substantial and growing band of scientists. They agree on the benefits of supporting local farmers and farm workers to promote systems that minimise dependency on external inputs like artificial pesticides and fertilizers.
The so-called 'green revolution' brought about an age in which the massive use of fertilizers and pesticides and 'modified' seeds have destroyed soils, put small farmers out of business and concentrated power over our food production into a handful of agro-multinationals. It has reduced diversity and increased vulnerability to threats such as climate change.
Now the same agro-multinationals want to promote their latest 'technofix' product, genetically engineered crops.
Current GE crops are heavily dependent on the continued use of large amounts of agrochemicals. GE crops are designed by predatory multinationals prepared to sue farmers for storing seeds from one harvest to plant for the next. Many governments are allowing corporations to patent seeds, helping them to prevent farmers from planting saved seeds, a fundamental right which is the basis of the livelihoods of millions of small farmers.
GE crops are not the solution to hunger in Africa, nor in the rest of the world. Take India for example, which has followed the 'green revolution' model for over five decades. Hunger has not been banished. India is still home to some 214 hundred million hungry people. World hunger cannot be solved just by increasing food production. In the US, 49 million people, including 17 million children, do not have access to a secure food supply.
Scientists have confirmed that GE crops do not necessarily produce higher yields than natural varieties. According to a report entitled 'Failure to Yield' published by the US-based Union of Concerned Scientists, after more than 15 years of GE crops production in the US there has been no increase in crop yields.
Africans know better than most that climate change is real, that it is a huge threat that is happening now. We can adapt to change climate and help mitigating its impacts, again with simple ecological farming practices: protecting crop and seed diversity, and changing grazing systems.
The GE industry's claims about 'climate-friendly' crops means more fertilizers, corporate control over seeds and a vast reduction in seed diversity. Rather than nurture our threatened soils and seeds the industry would like us to soak them in agrochemicals in order to allow GE crops to grow.
Africa can find at home all it needs to create 21st century ecological farming systems, systems which mean less hunger and a more resilient environment in the face of climate change.

text: Hi, A few days back I fell down with my Desire in my pocket(little electrocution was involved ). I don't think there was direct impact on the phone and all the hardware seemed fine but I got an error that there was no Sim in phone and also 'Sd card removed, insert SD card'. I restarted the phone a few times and the sim started working again and after a few tries so did the SD card but the problem with SD card continued. It worked sometimes after a few restarts but mostly it was removed. I checked the Sim and SD card in other phones and both work fine. Today I tried again to get the SD card working and restarted the phone but this time I got the 'No Sim' error again and it has not changed after many restarts and battery pulls. i tried other Sim and SD card in my phone but they also don't work. I think it is a software issue and i need to restore factory defaults on the phone but I want to backup my phone data. I have synced with Outlook but also want to save my sms messages and other data if possible. Is there anything I can try to fix this or backup my phone data on PC other than Outlook?
