Slander Campaign against Hizb ut Tahrir
At a time that the Muslims of Pakistan already possess strong awareness of Hizb ut Tahrir and its methodology, the regime is busy undermining itself by persisting in the style of lies and allegations against Hizb ut Tahrir. On 2nd March 2017, the Daily "Aaj" of Peshawar published a typical government agencies' report, devoid of any journalistic ethics, alleging the arrest of four activists of Hizb ut Tahrir, whilst distributing leaflets and further claiming that weapons were recovered from them. Such lies only harm the regime itself as the Muslims of Pakistan are well aware that Hizb ut Tahrir strictly adheres to the Methodology of RasulAllah ﷺ in its march to restore Islam to governing the affairs of Muslims. They know well that Hizb ut Tahrir confines itself political and intellectual actions only and adheres strictly to the forbidding by RasulAllah ﷺ of resorting to arms to establish Islam as an authority and state.
As for the regime maligning the Hizb by saying that it would change its methodology through frustration and desperation, it is well known that Hizb ut Tahrir strictly adheres to Islam in all its stances and its shebaab have endured severe torture and embraced martyrdom for decades throughout the Muslim World, without disobeying Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger ﷺ. As for frustration and desperation, it best describes the state of Pakistan's rulers themselves, who deploy slander now even though such slander failed when Hizb ut Tahrir was far less well-known and respected. Indeed, frustration and desperation at the sight of the Khilafah's impending return has paralyzed the regime's ability to reason, for its slander only serves to expose itself further before the aware within the people of power.
Yes, it is expected that the wicked regime, rebellious against Allah سبحانه وتعالى and His Messenger ﷺ, would slander the Khilafah project and its advocates. However, it is regrettable that some elements of media would assist the regime in its sin, whilst the rest of the media does not hold them to account for deviating from the Truth. Indeed, the least of accounting would be to insist that if such elements cannot speak good of the Khilafah project, they can at least not speak ill of it. RasulAllah ﷺ said,
«مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ»
"Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him speak good or keep quiet." [Muslim and Bukhari]
A better level of accounting is to insist that such reports from the wicked government are verified with Hizb ut Tahrir itself, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى said,
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ
"O you who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, verify the truth, lest you harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what you have done."
(Surah al-Hujaraat 49:6)
And the best of the accounting is to insist that such elements should repent and seek expiation of their sin by printing this clarification prominently and assisting Hizb ut Tahrir in its exposing the regime and its crimes against Islam and Muslims from now on.

Stuart Pearce allegedly killed his wife and three children in Adelaide and now police want the public's help in tracking down one of South Australia's most wanted fugitives.
There has been no trace of Pearce since the 1991 house fire that killed Meredith Pearce and their children Adam, 11, Travis, nine, and two-year-old Kerry.
Another sibling, then aged eight, was sleeping over at a friend's house the night of the murders.
Despite a $1 million reward for information, no one has seen Pearce in 25 years.
Brevet Sergeant Bob Sharpe says there is a great deal of evidence to suggest Pearce was responsible for the death of his wife and children.
"Whether he's been able to go into hiding for so many years or whether he's taken his own life when he's realised what he's done are the two more likely options police have to consider," Bvt Sgt Sharpe said on Sunday.
Bvt Sgt Sharpe said police gave some credence to sightings in Mt Gambier early in the inquiry by people who knew Pearce, although he was not located.
"It would be very difficult for someone to live off the grid for this length of time - we have his fingerprints plus a DNA profile and he's the subject of an Interpol red notice but he hasn't come to our attention," he said.
"My feeling is that he's committed this terrible act, tried to shift blame on to someone else by deliberately dumping his car in a particular location, but when that hasn't worked he's taken his own life and we just haven't found his body yet."
Pearce, who would now be 59, had several distinctive tattoos, including a naked woman with a rose on her back on his upper right arm, and a red and green rose over a Maltese Cross on his lower left leg, but it's possible he's had them removed or altered.

These series, which are apparently taken from science fiction, one day, will become reality. Intelligence is one of them, because implanted chips in people are little by little taken place in our bodies. You know: animals where the first with a chip implanted for knowing who their owners are and with their entire health card saved (nothing more than information stocked in) even there are some prototypes for human beings to control health.
So, the TV Series Intelligence shows us Gabriel Vaughn with a super-computer chip in his brain which can enter into the globalized information grid. Evidently that only he can access to such amount of data for security purposes to protect US against enemies. Here, it appears a hacker enemy figure too, who tries to hack the chip and penetrate into the Gabriel's brain to confuse or trap him. It is incredible too how he is capable to enter in a past action, stop the time, analyze the situation and be able to take conclusions about what happened.
If taken from fiction to reality, it would be a very powerful weapon against unsolved crimes or political fiddles.

A fantastic setting requires vivid and specific description; while characters may lose touch with their reality, the storyteller can't. A toneless, inexact language is incapable of creating landscape, meaningful relationship, or credible event. And the vitality of characters in a semi-historical, semi-fanciful setting depends on lively, plausible representation of what they do and how they speak. The impairment of the characters' memory in this book may justify the aimlessness of their behavior and the flat, dull quality of the dialogue, but then how is it that Axl never, ever, not once, forgets to address his wife as "princess"? I came to wish very much that he would.Oh dear. Still, I don't suppose Kazuo's agent will be that bothered.
This is part of an ongoing debate about whether those literary chaps who win awards like the Booker are massive, humourless snobs. Some of them certainly aren't. The late Iain M. Banks wrote science fiction as seriously and as intelligently as he wrote mainstream novels about modern British life. Banks was someone who loved the genre, had extensive knowledge of it, and was often nominated for its various awards. He was not a literary snob, though many of his reviewers and interviewers were.
At the opposite end of the spectrum we find Michel Faber, whose Under the Skin (recently filmed to general bafflement) is a well-written but nonetheless bad book. It has nothing new, interesting, or amusing to say about its 'aliens among us' theme. All the science fiction ingredients in Faber's book are as old as the hills and have been done better. But his literary reputation allows him to deliver stale tropes up to an audience who know nothing of sf and can be tricked into believing he is being daring and profound in abandoning all that silly Star Wars paraphernalia in favour of (supposedly) gritty social comment. It's a rather shabby trick, for my money.
Both these examples are outside the scope of this blog, but I had to mention them because I'm a bit annoyed. Mainstream authors also dabble in ghost stories, of course, and do the Paver-Ishiguro trick there. 'Oh, look, I'm bringing my profound literary sensibility to trashy genre fiction to adorn it. I know, I know, but I'm a generous soul.' The result tends to be forgettable because the author is not a lover of the ghost story and knows little about how it works. They're just visiting to get a bit of local colour from their inferiors without becoming involved or, you know, knowledgeable. They are, in fact, slumming.
History buffs may recall that slumming was fashionable in the Jazz Age. It involved Bright Young Things in the Evelyn Waugh mould going to poor areas and partying with the plebs. 'Oh, what thin children! And such darling rickets!' It's never died out, not really, but has arguably become a global trend. The central premise of slumming is that one does not seek to live like these people. One seeks to enjoy one's privilege by visiting them, sampling their frightfully colourful lifestyle, then going home with a few trinkets and a nasty rash. In literature, as in life, it is not an especially nice thing to do.
This is in marked contrast to the work of the late Kingsley Amis, a great anti-slummer who didn't dabble in genre fiction so much as make a systematic contribution to it in his middle years. Having established himself as a comic novelist in the Fifties he found himself losing traction when the late Sixties began to swing. So he wrote entertaining novels that took him outside his 'comfort zone'. He wrote a traditional detective story, a James Bond novel, a science fiction tale of alternate history (which contains a respectful nod to Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle), a futuristic tale of England invaded, and a ghost story - The Green Man.
Amis respected genre for what it is - a different way of writing about the world and our place in it. His knowledge of ghost stories, science fiction, thrillers etc meant that he was well aware of the achievements of very good genre writers of his day - M.R. James, John Dickson Carr, Frederick Pohl etc. He took his lead from them, and as a result his genre books are still eminently readable. Well, the ones I've read are. I admit some of them continue to elude me, even after all these years. But I keep looking, because I'm sure the game is worth the candle. In forty or fifty years time, will people be seeking out the literary slummers?

Obama doesn't care about black people
At her town hall meeting, Waters questioned why Obama hasn't gone to any black neighborhoods during his bus tour."We don't know what the strategy is. We don't know why on this trip that he's in the United States now, he's not in any black communities," she said.

Family Matters says: your attitude can improve them even more.
In psychological studies, the age gap between siblings is very important and is used to explain many behaviors and relationships (can you imagine yourself lying on the shrink's sofa and complaining about your brother who came into your life too early and took all the attention away from you?).
One of the most important subjects, which was part of every year of my Special Education studies, was Child Development. To be able to understand kids who were different, we had to learn what the norm was and the reasons for the differences. The family dynamic and age gap between siblings was a factor in every case study. Over time, I got a feeling that by focusing on this, we gave people a good excuse to have problems.
There were points in my life when I could imagine myself lying on that sofa and talking about my own sister, but not the sister born 3 years after me (who became my best friend when I was 16), but about my older sister who was the smarter, the best, the successful and boy did I hate her for it.
Someone once asked me about the right age gap between kids and I said there was not such a thing as the right age gap and that there are many factors that determine what is right for each parent. I still think so!
In a research published by the Journal of Family Psychology, Dr. Laurie Kramer, professor of applied family studies at the University of Illinois, followed 28 sibling pairs from the age of 4 to adolescence and found that "a child's socialization with friends before the arrival of a sibling can predict a more positive relationship between the siblings".
I was happy to read about this research because it added another factor to the dilemma of the right age – the social factor.
It sounds like the right age gap and social skills are not really connected, when in fact they are. Getting along with a sibling requires good social skills that young kids staying at home with mother all day (even if she is the best in the world) cannot acquire (and no, going once a week to a play group or to a swimming class is not enough to establish social skills).
In the first year of schooling, every teacher can tell the difference between kids who have spent most of their days with mommy and kids who have attended any structured education system (day care or similar). The differences in their social skills are so obvious that the teacher could tell you if the kid has attended a full time program, 2-3 days a week or only 1 day.
Social skills are part of every child's emotional intelligence. If kids form these skills before they have to deal with the arrival of a sibling, they are more likely to succeed in that relationship. As in many other areas, practice makes perfect (OK, it makes a lot better). Kids with good friends are equipped with a better attitude towards caring, sharing, compromising and not being the center of the attention.
If you observe families around you, many of the conflicts between siblings are presented by parents as an age gap problem, when in fact the kids' social skills, the parents' belief system and circumstances are more likely to affect the relationship.
You can only control the age gap between your kids when you make the decision to have them (that is if you make the choice…). Sometimes, even making a choice does not work the way you want it to. I am a good example (well, actually a sad example) of not being able to control the timing of kids, because nature/God had other plans.
What you can control is your attitude as a parent towards the right age gap. The right attitude is to make the best of every age gap. If your kids are close in age, focus on the benefits of being close in age. If your kids are far apart in age, focus on the benefits of having a large gap. This attitude will have a positive influence on their relationship, no matter when they were born.
You might not be able to control the age gap, so control your focus!

Im Informator-Stil werden auf 455 Seiten so ziemlich alle wichtigen Bauernendspiele präsentiert. Ein wirklich umfassendes Nachschlagewerk, welches Wissen vermittelt, dass man selbst mit den gängigen Endspieltabellen nicht zu Gesicht bekommt. Gerade für Fernschachspieler ein Pflichtkauf. Daumen hoch
Encyclopaedia of Chess Endings
ECE I - Pawn Endings, 2nd edition
by Alexander Matanovic (Editor)
Publisher: Chess Informant, 2012
Edition: Hardcover
1901: Examples
Pages: 455
Language: Symbols
Magic pawn endings
At the beginning of the 1980s, the Chess Informant publishing house started one of the greatest publishing ventures in chess history. In 1982 the first volume of Encyclopedia of Chess endgames was published (Pawn endgames).
Another 4 volumes swiftly follows, in total containing over 9.000 endgame examples! This is the most comprehensive reference work on the endgame and, of course, it's no coincidence that EVERY new book on the endgame refers to it.
The names of the contributors speak about the quality of this edition: including WCCs Botvinnik, Karpov and Kasparov… The first edition of Pawn endgames was sold out relatively quickly (10.000 copies!) and since then readers have not been able to get this important edition.
Chess Informant publishing house has decided to cheer up its readers: The second revised edition of PAWN ENDGAMES is finally published!
The contributors of the first edition were: (editorial board) GM Aleksandar Matanovic and a large number of eminent contributors: multiple WCC and expert in the endgame Botvinnik Mikail, expert in the endgame Averbakh Yuri, Huebner Robert, Hort Vlastimil, Miles Anthony, Minev Nikola, Parma Bruno, Uhlmann Wolfgang and Unzicker Wolfgang.
These names alone are sufficient to assess the true value of this book. The second edition is not only reprinted but has been considerably revised: about 300 examples have been added from modern practice. Also, some examples that contained errors or omissions have been corrected.
Because of its simplicity and systematic approach the book is useful for advanced players and for those who want to become familiar with the basics of endgames. It's especially interesting for coaches.
The examples are given in Chess Informant's system and can be easily found. All the examples are annotated according to Chess Informant's system. In the future we expect the second edition of Rook endgames to be published, so that readers will be able to get all 5 volumes of this famous work.

Scripture: Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls 18 Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. Habakkuk 3:17-18 (NKJV)
Observation: In a ringing climax to the book, Habakkuk announces that though all the natural means of sustenance should fail, he will rejoice in God anyway, even as Paul did while awaiting a decision in a Roman jail cell (Phil. 4:4). Evidently, this is due to a continuous trust in God, regardless of external circumstances, an attitude which Habakkuk needs right now as he contemplates Babylon's impending judgment upon Judah. Likewise, our relationship with the Lord should not be dependent on what is happening in our lives at any given moment. [Andrews Study Bible Notes. 2010 (J. L. Dybdahl, Ed.). Berrien Springs, MI: Andrews University Press.]
Application: We find the response of Job to all his problems admirable. How could anyone loose all his/her possessions, all his/her children, and ultimately his/her health and yet not get angry or complain? Would we blame anyone for feeling despondent in such situation? Would we be shocked if they expressed their disdain, their frustration, their hopelessness? In fact, I think we would be more surprised if they didn't!
The opposite of Job would be someone who is not able to accept their circumstances and lives in a world of denial. Studies have shown that people facing terminal disease go through several stages, with the first one being denial. The initial shock of receiving such unexpected news leads people to deny that it is really happening. "Surely the reports are wrong." "There must be a mistake." "This cannot possibly be happening to me."
Habakkuk is not going through denial about what he's going through. What he's doing is recognizing all that is happening to him but not allowing it to shake his faith in God. He is able to maintain that positive attitude because he has seen how God has blessed him in the past. He chooses to focus on the good things and not simply give up by looking only at all the bad things.
Everyone of us will face challenging circumstances in our life at some point or another. It may be the loss of a job, losing money in a promising investment, the tragic and early death of a child or another loved one, a terminal disease diagnosed with no symptoms present or with no previous family genetic connection. It would be normal for us to have a time of denial, but we cannot remain there. When we put it all into perspective – the fact that God promises us eternal life, a family reunion from which we'll never part, and that He will take care of us, His children, we can then share the positive, grateful attitude of Job and of Habakkuk.
A Prayer You May Say: Father, thank You for all you have done for us in the past. When things don't go well and the pain we experience seems unbearable please remind us of all those blessings so we lift our heads up and have the positive attitude which will help us get out of the pit of despair.

22-year-old male presented with a comminuted Schatzker type II fracture of right leg. X-ray examination revealed 2 large fragments and several small fragments.
Using an anterolateral approach, the lateral fragment was rotated to open the fracture, fragments elevated and held with temporary K-wires. The joint was visualised through submeniscal approach. 7cc genex paste was implanted and lateral fragment closed with a clamp and 2 partially threaded 6.5mm cancellous screws, placed subchondrally just below the elevated intra-articular segment. Locking plate and a combination of locking and non-locking screws were placed.
At 15 months' follow-up the fracture had healed with complete absorption of genex. The knee was stable, with a range of motion of 0–130°. Patient reported normal function with occasional clicking and aching at the end of the day, with some discomfort at lateral joint line.
Note: See genex page for regulatory statements.

Socca: the chickpea pancake invading every vegan blogger's kitchen. The gals at Pure 2 Raw first introduced me and many others to the garbanzo beany heavenliness, but since then, I've seen socca cropping up on a vast majority of my RSS feeds from YumUniverse's Sweet and Savory Pumpkin Socca to The Vegan Chickpea's Socca with Shallots and Onions to Sketch-Free Vegan Eating's Green Pea Alfredo Socca Pizza to xGFx's Socca Pizza with Kale and Red Onions to…the list continues on (and you can see how enthusiastic about discovering new socca recipes! We're all one in the same, we vegan bloggers).
The bottom line? Nobody doesn't like socca. And this time, a vastly healthier food can use that catchy slogan! (A certain woman's white bread, anyone?) Lately, I've been experimenting with different methods, cooking times, and fillings for socca and so far, I prefer the "frittata" method (rather, the aptly named "soccattata"), introduced by Olives for Dinner: caramelize onions, saute in a mix of other veggies, pour into a circular baking dish coated in olive oil, add the chickpea flour batter, and bake for 20 minutes at 400°F. Obviously, this non-recipe allows for a ridiculous amount of variation, perfectly suited to fit almost anyone's specifit tastes. A tiny fraction of the endless possibilities for socca mix-ins:
- Spinach and cherry tomatoes.
- Finely chopped broccoli and lemon zest.
- Kale, garlic, raisins, and pine nuts.
- Shredded brussels sprouts.
- Quinoa or any other grain.
- Sweet potato/pumpkin puree and tahini. (Inspired by my latest culinary epiphany.)
Last night, a socca craving bombarded me. I spotted a head of Peacock broccoli first in the refrigerator but, upon careful consideration, couldn't select a vegetable with a complementing flavor to accompany the little crucifer. The carrots then spoke to me: "Grate us along with a parsnip and caramelize us with the onions!" How could I say no to their adorable beta-caroteniness? The socca that ensued amalgamated as a sweet, succulent, wonderfully autumnal dish and the addition of thyme would only intensify its already tantalizing flavors. (Unfortunately, I discovered an empty thyme jar in my pantry while concocting this recipe…I guess I'll just have to make it again! Darn.)
Carrot-Parsnip Soccattata (Gluten Free, Nut Free, Soy Free)
Serves 1-4.
- 1 cup garbanzo bean flour
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1/2 small onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 medium parsnip, grated
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme, optional
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for about 10 minutes, then turn down the heat to its lowest setting and allow the onions to caramelize for 15-30 minutes, without stirring, until golden brown but not burnt.
Meanwhile, whisk the garbanzo bean flour and water together in a bowl and set aside.
When the onions have sufficiently caramelized, turn up the heat to medium and add the grated carrots, parsnips, and thyme if using. Saute for 10-20 minutes or until lightly browned and fairly juicy.
Pour the remaining 2 tsp olive oil into a 9-inch round baking dish. Layer the carrot-parsnip-onion mixture on the bottom and pour the chickpea batter on top. Slide into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Recipe submitted to Wellness Weekend.
Meal Checklist: Protein—chickpea flour. Whole Grain—none. (As I've mentioned before, I don't feel the need to serve a whole grain when devouring an entire pan of socca.) Vegetables—onions, carrots, parsnips. Leafy Green—side of Peacock broccoli.
Local Ingredients: Rosso Milano onions and Peacock broccoli from Jones Valley Farm, carrots from JenEhr Family Farm, parsnips from Driftless Organics.
Comment Provoking Questions: Have you jumped onto the socca bandwagon? (Because if you haven't, you would truly enrich your life by doing so.) If so, what is your favorite socca recipe? Do you like to add veggies/grains/herbs straight to the batter or pile them on top like a pizza?
Until next time, Ali.

A downloadable tool for Windows
pixra is a 256-colour graphics editor I made for the Raspberry Pi. It works quite well on there. But it works quite well elsewhere, too. Like my laptop, for instance!
It lets you:
- Draw things!
- Pick colours!
- Change the colour palette!
- Zoom in! And out! Wow!
- Read 256-colour uncompressed tga files!
- Write 256-colour uncompressed tga files!
- Make new 256-colour uncompressed tga files!
- Box select!
- Set the grid really easily!
- Copy! Paste! Also cut!
- Undo! Also redo because that's useful!
- Flood fill! Aren't you glad this has undo?
And all really smoothly and quickly! Wow, it lets you make things!
Here's a video showing you how it's done: http://youtu.be/xv9PFjF4VVc
pixra has been confirmed to run on these platforms:
- FreeBSD amd64
- GNU/Linux armv6 (Raspi!)
- Windows 8 (thanks oranebeast)
The Windows version should work, but I haven't confirmed if it actually works on Windows, because I don't have Windows. (EDIT: Some Windows user confirmed it runs on Windows.) If you have Windows, get the Windows version. If you don't have Windows, there's source code in the Windows version. Windows.
And of course, the latest source code is here: https://github.com/fanzyflani/pixra
- Added a "I am using this particular colour" indicator at the suggestion of oranebeast.
- Fixed the issue where rect fills didn't add a step to the undo stack.
Does it work? Yes.
Do you actually use this? Yes.
Why should I use this instead of, say, GIMP? Yes.
Erm, I mean...
If you're trying to edit images on a Raspberry Pi, using GIMP is a terrible idea. Try it yourself. Yeah, massive delay between drawing something and it actually being put on the image.
If you're making 256-colour images, you may find this easier for at least some of your stuff - it's designed for 256-colour stuff.
If you're trying to make a NES-like* game, pixra would be a very wise choice! If you're making low-resolution pixel sprites, chances are you won't even get near the 256-colour limit, so it's great for that, too!
(*even if it wouldn't have a chance of running on a NES without severely hampering everything, and if this sounds familiar, it's because it's the norm)
Of course, I tend to use GIMP to take screenshots and crop images, because I haven't implemented resizing yet.
And if you're planning on editing photos... don't bother with this tool. It's not made for that.
Will it ever support hi-colour / truecolour images? No. This isn't designed for that.
Will it ever run in anything other than 16bpp? No. This has to be fast on a Raspberry Pi. At least it dithers.
I am open to suggestions! Please use this and let me know what it needs, and I'll see if I can chuck it in. Thanks.
Donations are much appreciated. But of course, if you want it for free, go ahead, stick a 0 in that box.

The pound has dropped ten percent. The FTSE fell by 500 points. Worse still, the Bank of England has issued a statement to encourage calm. What now for Brexit?
The pound has dropped 10%. The FTSE fell by 500 points. Worse still, the Bank of England has issued a statement trying to bring some calm to the markets.
These are the immediate consequences of the British public roundly voting to leave the European Union. The much-feared 'Brexit' that analysts have worried over for months, defied the 'experts' and will ultimately see Britain leave the EU.
Global markets though are also reeling in shock
The Nikkei has fallen to its weakest point since 2014. The price of crude has dropped by 6%. Most other key bourses are down: Australia, Korea and Singapore all report losses.
The immediate effects of the fallout from Brexit will be felt in the financial markets. But it won't be long before the broader economy is contaminated with uncertainty. As Sophie Dyer wrote yesterday, the unstable future is likely to create new costs for business. In our latest risk report, no surveyed company was seriously worried about the effect of Britain leaving the EU. It seems they, and many other organisations, have been caught out.
The Prime Minister has resigned, vowing to leave in October. David Cameron has left his successor to activate article 50, that starts the two-year cycle to formally eject the UK from the EU. During this period, the continual uncertainty will undeniably dull economic activity. In the longer term, the UK has potentially resigned itself to lower growth, inflationary pressures and the prospects of capital flight.
Beyond the troubled British shores, years of debate, uncertainty and introspection will consume European public policy. Immediately, analysts will ask who is next? Italy? Denmark? The Netherlands?
Although the referendum was designed to resolve the uncertainty within the UK, it has only served to amplify ambiguity for businesses in Europe. Countries that were once keen proponents of continental togetherness are now fuelling centrifugal forces as a wave of nationalism galvanises EU politics.
Unfortunately, the discussion across the continent (and noticeably within the British referendum) has grown toxic. Received opinion almost invariably critiques the EU. It is a truism that the union is inefficient, over-regulated and ineffectual. The opposite case is never made, and so it is never considered. Given that this distant trans-national body is far from most people's concerns, it seems unlikely that any politician is going to win votes by being pro-EU in the immediate future.
Eurosceptism will continue to erode the integrity of the EU for the foreseeable future and consequently, the economic order that it brought will begin to slacken for businesses across the continent.
A deeper issue relates to the fabric of Western democracy. Frank Fields, a prominent UK MP, has described Brexit as a working class "revolt against globalisation". Unleashing this angry force onto the political debate will have untold ramifications.
It seems that the structures that have framed economies within the West is undergoing an intense examination. It is likely that the Europe of the future will be subject to radical constitutional changes, economic disorder and regulatory risk. Ironically, the impulse to remove unnecessary red tape, may entangle businesses in a greater number of regulations as they trade between increasingly disparate countries within Europe.
In terms of the day-to-day management of business, the prospect for managers has become cloudier. The number of orders made is likely to drop and we may see increasing number of suppliers facing cash flow or other trading issues. The regulatory environment will become more unstable. The economic sentiment of most economies will grow more pessimistic.
It's probably not best to panic quite yet though. You may need to reserve you emotional energies for greater anxieties for the economic disorders that are yet to come.

Not all subjects taught in school are as cut-and-dried like math or history. Nonetheless, some of these more abstract subjects, particularly social skills, are crucial for both academic and social success. One such skill is empathy, the ability to both understand and share the feelings of others. In an article posted this month in Edutopia, authors Dr. Donna Wilson and Marcus Conyers discuss the importance empathy and proven strategies to teach the skill.
"Empathy has the capacity to transform individual lives for the better while helping to bring about positive social change in schools and communities worldwide."
Psychologists break empathy down to two main categories: affective empathy and cognitive empathy. Affective empathy, or shared emotional response, is the kind experienced when someone shares another's emotions (E.g. Jumping up and down and clapping when someone else scores a goal or crying when someone on screen experiences a heartbreak); whereas, cognitive empathy, also known as perspective taking, comes about when one has the ability to see the situation from another's viewpoint.
In order to teach both affective and cognitive empathy, Wilson and Conyers recommend teachers follow four proven strategies.
In this method, teachers lead by example by being positive while learning and showing care for others' feelings, which leads to the children to "mirror optimistic and confident learning behaviors." We use a similar method to teach empathy through visuals called VideoModeling!
Teaching Point of View
A different point of view may often be the reason for an argument. Use real life examples of how having a different point of view was the reason behind a disagreement you have had. If you prefer to not share personal stories, try using others stories or techniques to emphasize the point, such as an exercise using the numbers 6 and 9.
First, have students look at the number 6 and then the number 9. Explain to students that the idea for this exercise came from an old Middle Eastern legend in which two princes were at war for many years. One prince looked at the image on the table and said it was a 6, while the other prince said it was a 9. For years the battle raged, and then one day when the princes were seated at the table a young boy turned the tablecloth around, and for the first time, they could see the other's point of view. The war came to an end, and the princes became firm friends.
Follow up with a discussion as to why it is important to recognize that others may have different perspective and that could be the source of the disagreement. This is a common method used in our conflict resolution materials!
Using Literature to Teach Different Perspectives
Much of what children's literature can be used to learn how perspectives can differ. One great example is the story of "The Three Little Pigs."
"We sympathize with the pigs because we see the wolf as a ravenous villain, but is it possible to see the story from the wolf's point of view? That's exactly what Jon Scieszka undertakes in his book The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. In this humorous retelling, the wolf didn't huff and puff to blow the pigs' houses down; instead he suffered from a terrible allergy and, when stopping by to borrow a cup of sugar, accidentally blew the houses down with a big and powerful sneeze."
Empathy is all about listening
A challenging, yet fundamental aspect of empathy is to be an effective listener. Marcus and Conyers have developed a clever strategy to help students devote their full attention to others: the HEAR strategy.
Halt: stop whatever you are doing and thinking to "free your mind" and focus on speaker.
Engage: Focus on whoever is speaking and even add a physical component (e.g. head tilt towards them) to show them how you are "engaged solely in listening."
Anticipate: Look ahead to what speaker will say and "acknowledge that you will likely learn something new and interesting" which will make you more interested in what they have to say.
Replay: analyze and rephrase what has been said in your mind or aloud to help understand the speaker's message
As students learn to be more empathetic, it is important that they are mindful of their own thoughts, feelings, and capability to understand and share those other others. Such metacognitive awareness makes students "more effective at taking another's perspective throughout [their] lives." Ultimately, the more empathetic student finds more opportunities for both academic and social success since when they are both comfortable and aware of themselves, they can focus on others and the situation at hand.
The child who is 'left behind' most is the one who leaves school without transition readiness.
Dr. James Stanfield, Ed.D.

Here are our ground rules:
- We invite candidates or surrogates to speak at our meetings starting in September 2019. Our meetings are on the third Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm in the Theater Room of the Moore Center on State Street in Ellsworth. The December 2019 "meeting" is reserved for a holiday party.
- Candidates must reserve a speaking slot in advance by making a request to email@example.com.
- Remarks are limited to 6 minutes for all offices except U. S. Senate. Candidates for U. S. Senate in 2020 may speak for 15 minutes, with one candidate per meeting.
- In contested primaries, we will likely host a joint appearance of candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for the same office. These will be just before such primaries.
- After Democratic nominations are settled, we expect to invite Democratic nominees back for an additional appearance before the 2020 general election.

Estimating Your Solar Needs!
By The Petite Plantation - March 07, 2016
Currently, we are apartment dwellers and are using this time to research and plan our build. One of the things in our plan is to be off the grid with solar energy. So, the first thing we did to estimate how many solar panels we would need or how much energy our home will consume, we made a list of what uses energy and how much it uses in a day, like our lights and devices.
Here is what we will have powered in our 16'x20' cabin:
Bathroom Light (2 LED bulbs)Kitchen Light (3 LED bulbs)
Loft Light (1 LED bulb)
Living Room Light (3 LED bulbs)
Outdoor Lighting (3 LED bulbs)
Each of our LED light bulbs uses 3 watts or less (we already have them and are using them in our apartment to save on our electric bill, they are to replace halogen bulbs with two prongs) so if we assume all 12 lights run for 9 hours a day, we would require 324 watts of energy per day (12 bulbs x 3 watts x 9 hours). We realize that we will not have all our lights on for 9 hours everyday, especially in summer when the sun doesn't set until 9 pm but in the winter the sun sets closer to 4:30 pm.. You can see why we averaged this out.
2 Tablets charged once daily 60 watts
Laptop charged once daily 80 watts
To estimate what our devices use in a day, we are going to assume we charge everything once a day. Now, we don't own a television, a DVD player, have home internet or a game console and we are doubtful we will have to charge everything, everyday, but we want to over estimate and have extra power rather than the alternative. We found this article, which with some fancy math, René came up with 152 watts per day to charge each device. According to the Forbes article, the iPhone has a 1440 mAh battery or about 6 watts. So if an iPad's battery is 6930 mAh, it would require just under 30 watts. Ta-dah!
We plan to do the majority of our cooking on a hot wood stove during winter, or a BBQ and solar over during the summer. Occasionally, like on summer rainy days when we don't dare to BBQ, we will have a one burner induction portable cooktop. If the cook top uses 1500 watts on high in an hour and we only use it for 20 minutes, we can estimate it would use 500W once a day.
Refrigerator 269kWh
We found a small under the counter fridge, 4.4 cubic feet, that the Energy Guide claims uses 269kWh a year. So 269 divided by 365 is 0.74 kWh per day. Mulitply that by 1000 and we get 740 watts per day.
The final tally!
324 watts a day for Lights
152 watts for electronic Devices
1240 watts for Food
1716 watts of energy will be used each day in our cabin. So, if we have a 500W solar panel system, here in New Brunswick, we would require 3.5 hours of full sun for optimal power generation each day. We found a great deal on a 400W Solar Panel Kit to get us started and we can add more panels as we need them
Clearly this is all an estimation and we are not mathematicians or solar gurus but this is how we calculated it all. Of course, we will want to ensure we have enough battery storage to get us through a couple cloudy days in a row or maybe even add a small windmill! Let us know your thoughts!

Fox released the first look at its upcoming reality show, "I Wanna Marry Harry."
In case you hadn't heard about it, the series dupes 12 American women into believing they're competing to date Britain's Prince Harry.
Also read: 'Boom'! Fox's Explosive Series Sparks Internal Strife Over New Reality Chief (Exclusive)
Though just a short 30-second clip, it's pretty illuminating on several levels. First, it seems unbelievable that these young women actually believe that Prince Harry would do a reality show. To give the producers some credit, they seem to go to great lengths to make it convincing.
Second, Fox isn't shying away from comparisons to its former age of schlocky reality shows. It boldly gestures in the trailer toward "Joe Millionaire," its 2003 show that deceived women into believing they were dating a millionaire when in fact he was a construction worker.
Also read: Fox Orders Deceptive Dating Series With Prince Harry Look-Alike Bachelor
"Joe Millionaire" was a huge hit for Fox. Its finale was watched by 34.6 million people. And clearly, Fox needs to reinvigorate its reality slate.

Last Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas
June 17, 2016|Posted in: Momme
Comments Off on Last Minute Father's Day Gift Ideas
Father's Day Gifts can be tricky ones. Sometimes just thinking about it can bring on a sense of anxiety, until you realize – it's ON SUNDAY and you don't have anything!!! Deep breath – here are some last minute ideas for hubs, and for the other fathers you want to honor and celebrate.
- A Wallet. Yes I know, it sounds so cliche to give them a wallet. But think about it, they are thrown, tossed and dropped many times and are usually on the brink of falling apart. So when daddy is sleeping, check out their wallet and see if a new one is needed. Macy's or other department stores usually have a really great (and reasonably priced) selection.
- A Massage. Doesn't this sound nice? An amazing day at the spa getting your stress rubbed, steamed, and soaked away. Just think about how much daddy would love something like this too. Most of these can be purchased online. So just print, and put it in a card. Can't afford one? Make a nice relaxing environment after the kids go down and give him a nice looooong massage yourself!
- A Race Car Shirt. This one seems a little weird, I know. But hear me out on this one. Do you ever witness the kids jumping and walking on daddy's back? I know I do. A shirt like this with cars racing on his back not only give him a chance to rest (because, they don't rest, right?) but the feeling of cars racing up and down the back can give a nice massage. This picture is from My Shirt Shack on Etsy, but you can find them everywhere.
- Let Them Sleep. Aaahhh the days of being able to just sleep in and get out of bed whenever seem so far away. Give that special daddy a day to sleep in.
- An Experience. Some dad's like to sleep, and others like to experience something. So take a look at his hobbies, and see if that's something he wants to do. From a day on the golf course, skydiving, a fitness class, hiking, etc.
- Make is Sentimental. From foot print picture frames, to home made cards, sometimes keeping it sentimental can be especially amazing. Pinterest can be your best friend here to give you some ideas.
- Chocolate Bags. Sweet tooth anyone? I have to admit this is tough to get through if you're a chocoholic like me. If you have more than one dad to think about (i.e. amazing uncles and grand father's) a DIY present can be the way to go. Check out the bags I did for last year's father's day. I bought a 10 pack of bags from Target, and a sheet of patterned paper that looked like a pattern of a tie. I then cut out a tie-looking shape, glued it on the bag and made what you see in the picture below. THEN – I stuffed them with chocolate!
Wishing you and yours a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

What's that on the tarmac?
All I wanted to was to not have to listen to power wheels running in the driveway tonight. So I had a bright idea to take the boys to the KC Aviation Center to watch 'panes' take off. I scored some dinner…that came with toys…(that was foreshadowing).
The boys were so excited. So excited that they chucked their spy toy discs (who was the genius who invented projectiles for kids meals?) on the tarmac. THE TARMAC. Granted, the planes are tiny toothpicks with wings but still. That's gotta be against FAA regs to have small, red plastic discs out there. So 'magically', we watched the planes go to sleep and snuck out of there.
Tomorrow, we are driving power wheels. Again.

Detroit Mercy Homecoming an overwhelming success
University of Detroit Mercy Homecoming 2017 was an overwhelming success as students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members gathered for two memorable days of fun.
"I think we generated a great deal of enthusiasm and energy for the campus," said Detroit Mercy Director Alumni Relations Peggy Pattison. "Everyone who came thought it was a fabulous day.
"There was something for everyone, and we really highlighted that University of Detroit Mercy can shine and is a viable part of this community. I was very overjoyed with the responses, the momentum and the energy we felt on campus."
Attendance increased 50 percent from last year with more than 1,500 people attending the various events over the two days.
"If there was one common thread, people liked the look of campus," Pattison said. "They liked seeing a lot of activity and having the energy on campus."
Some alumni returned to campus for the first time in years for Homecoming and enjoyed being back at their alma mater.
"This is the first time I've been back," said Frelisa Walker '93. "I wanted my daughter to see it because I'm planning on having her attend because it's such a great school. I like being back on campus and all the great memories I had here."
Saturday's events kicked off with the Detroit Decades Dash 5K/Family Fun Run. More than 160 participants enjoyed the course and took part in the 1970s themed costume contest. Congratulations to Jaime Miettinen and Dash Dobar, winners of the overall 5K, and to Pamela Lumetta and Timothy Ponkowski, winners in the master's division of the Dash!
"It was great, I like how well organized it was," Detroit Mercy Dental student Sergio Elias said of the race. "I've never been through the neighborhood, so it was nice to see the houses around here. I enjoyed going through the campus, too. I don't spend too much time on this campus because I'm at the Corktown one. It was nice."
The Uptown Bike Ride was another popular event for alumni and students. Alumnus Tom Page '71, '76 lead the tour, which went through the neighborhoods surrounding the McNichols Campus.
"It was great to go through the neighborhoods," said Toni Henry '16. "It was great to see the students getting out into the neighborhood. I don't think a lot of students have the opportunity to do so. I would encourage students to regularly get into the neighborhoods and I think biking gives them the opportunity to do so.
"I'm really glad to see four bikes were donated to the school. Hopefully that can expand and we can get students to support businesses on the Avenue of Fashion and get off campus."
The Tug-of-War drew a big crowd with various student organizations, alumni and even the Jesuits competing for the coveted trophy. But in the end, the Indian Student Association took home the prize!
"I enjoyed the competition," said Nursing senior Justin Fields, whose Sigma Pi team finished as the runner's up. "I thought it came down to the wire. It was super difficult and super competitive. I enjoyed the participation from all the organizations on campus, especially the Jesuits. I enjoyed watching them, and they did very well.
"I thought Homecoming overall was very well organized," Fields added. "I enjoyed that they brought some new things, including the beer tent. I thought there was a really good student turnout at the event. It brought more to life to campus and I like that."
Plans have already begun for Detroit Mercy Homecoming 2018, and Pattison expects the event to continue to grow each year.
"This is still in its infancy," Pattison said. "I would encourage people to keep their eyes open for next year's information, and make it a point to come down next year because it's just going to be bigger and better.
"The one thing I'm most encouraged about for next year is I already have groups of alumni that are starting to talk to their friends from that group to do a get-together next year for that group. So we've already started the momentum for next year. I would encourage everyone to keep driving that momentum."

As my kids are getting older, they have many more questions about Santa, his elves, and the most important question on their little minds … how does he even get in the house?!? So to give the holidays a more official feel, I thought some Santa's Special Delivery Gift Tags from the North Pole would be a fun surprise!
I designed these gift tags for Design Dazzle's Christmas Wonderful series. Not only are these gift tags great for kids, but they are also fun for adults too. Wouldn't these be hilarious to give to your spouse, friends and co-workers who made the "Naughty" list?
These couldn't be any easier to put together!
You just need some white cardstock, scissors, a marker, a single hole punch, Adobe Reader (for those fillable fields)*, and a color printer. A home printer works just fine for these!
For some families Santa may come to visit on different days, so you have total control over the date as well as the name fields. Just type in the date and the name of the recipient on each tag, and then print on your home printer. Use scissors to cut out each tag, punch a hole, and mark your check boxes whether they were "Naughty" or "Nice" and how Santa delivered the gift.
Then simply tie on to a package with the twine or ribbon of your choice for a fun gift from Santa! I just used red baker's twine here.
Ready to get started?
First, download your FREE Santa's Special Delivery Gift Tags and save to your desktop. Do not try to edit the fields in your browser. Then open the PDF file in Adobe Reader, which is a free program already on most computers. Type in the name and date in each tag. Print on cardstock, trim and spread some Christmas magic!*
Readers requested a version that allows you to edit the tag number too, so Santa's Special Delivery Gift Tags Version 2 allows you to edit those fields. Same tags, just allows you to change the numbers in case Santa brings more than one gift for your kiddos.
Please note: This design is lovingly shared for free for personal use so parents can create some Christmas magic for their children. Unfortunately, many people think it is OK to print these and sell them to others, or to copy this design and sell it. It isn't. I shouldn't have to say this, but this design is registered and protected by copyright, which means it is illegal to sell them on Etsy/eBay/Facebook/at craft fairs/etc., or to copy this design in any way. Please don't take advantage of this kindness intended to bring joy to children and respect our copyright so we can keep sharing! xoxo
* Troubleshooting help: If you are having trouble with your fillable fields (deleting or adding text), please make sure that you are not trying to edit the fields in your browser or are in Preview (for Mac users). Download the PDF to your computer first, and then you can type into the fields. If you have downloaded to your computer and the font is changing to something else or acting wonky, please update your computer to the most current (and free) version of Adobe Reader and follow the instructions to execute the new update/download. Old versions may cause problems.
Definitely head over to Design Dazzle and check out all of the other fun Christmas Wonderful crafts, free printables, and DIYs for more Christmas inspiration! Toni has gathered an amazing group of talented bloggers who are sharing creative ideas you won't want to miss! Check out this Christmas Activity Placemat I made for the series last year.
Merry Christmas!

Lysandre (Flashfire 90)
Lysandre (Japanese: フラダリ Fleur-de-lis) is a Supporter card. It was first released as part of the Flashfire expansion.
Card text
Release information
This card was included as both a Regular card and a Full Art card in the English Flashfire expansion, first released in the Japanese Wild Blaze expansion. Both prints feature artwork by Ken Sugimori. The Regular print was later reprinted in the Japanese M Charizard-EX Mega Battle Deck, M Rayquaza-EX Mega Battle Deck, M Master Deck Build Box Power Style and M Master Deck Build Box Speed Style (released August 7, 2015), the English Ancient Origins expansion, and in the Japanese BREAK Starter Pack. A Mirror Reverse Holofoil version of the Regular print was included in the Premium Champion Pack in Japan. The Regular print was reprinted in the Japanese Premium Trainer Box during the Sun & Moon Era. This print uses the XY Era Trainer card layout instead of the Sun & Moon Era layout. The Japanese The Best of XY subset and Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Premium Trainer Box later reprinted the Regular print and also used the old layout.
This card's effect matches that of Gust of Wind, a card previously released in the Base Set, as well as the Black & White Series print of Pokémon Catcher. However, Gust of Wind is not a Supporter card, meaning that that card can be played more than once per turn.
Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare and the primary antagonist of Pokémon X and Y.
|This article is part of Project TCG, a Bulbapedia project that aims to report on every aspect of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has said that smart syringes, which break after a single injection, should be used for every procedure in as little as five years. These medical devices would prevent the two million people who are currently injured each year as a result of reusing syringes.
Although, like most safety devices they are more expensive to manufacturer, the WHO states that it is a much cheaper option in the long term as it will prevent healthcare organisations having to spend funds on treating diseases caused by bloodborne pathogens.
Every year, more than 16 billion injections are administered annually, with normal syringes allowing for multiple uses, leaving it to the responsibility of the caregiver to know to dispose of them after every use.
However, smart devices restrict the plunger being pulled back after an injection or retract the needle, meaning it can only be used once.
Dr Selma Khamassi, the head of the WHO team for injection safety, told BBC News: "This will hopefully help eliminate the 1.7 million new hepatitis B cases, the 300,000 hepatitis C cases and the 35,000 HIV cases every year, and all those we don't have figures for, such as Ebola and Marburg."
Current syringes cost between two cents (1.3p) and four cents to develop, while smart devices cost between four and six cents. However, the WHO says this increase is "small" and these instruments offer the most cost-effective way to treat global disease.
Dr Khamassi added: "Injection safety is, I think, the most cost-effective way to prevent all these diseases.
"If we compare the price of most expensive syringes to the cost of treatment for an HIV case, or a hep C case, there is no comparison."
It is hoped that sheathed needles would prevent healthcare workers from accidentally injuring themselves, which would stop another crisis from happening like the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
