CHICAGO: With Pakistan continuing to send mixed signals about whether and when it would reopen supply routes to NATO, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta plans to meet tomorrow with representatives of five countries who make the so-called Northern Routes into and out of Afghanistan possible.
The U.S. recently won permission from the Northern Route countries to send non-lethal gear as well as wheeled armored vehicles to enter and leave Afghanistan. However, weapons must still be flown and that would include heavy weapons such as tanks. But the Pakistani routes carried about two-thirds of NATO equipment, clearly demonstrating their shorter distance.
"We will certainly use the northern routes for the removal of equipment from Afghanistan over time. It's too early to determine the precise nature of equipment that may be exfiltrated through the north," the senior defense official said.
As the U.S. plans to withdraw 23,000 troops by October — and many more after that since most troops but Special Operations are due to be gone by 2014 — the question of how to move the enormous amounts of equipment they depend on grows increasingly important.
Right now, the northern routes pose several formidable obstacles. They are long and transit a host of countries and a variety of transport systems — roads, rails and ships — depending on which route you're taking. Each country's customs and security officials, of course, add to the possibility of delays and corruption.
High-level negotiations are under way, I understand, to get approval for NATO to move lethal equipment through the land routes but officials will not discuss them. Russia allows the overflight of lethal equipment but will not allow the equipment to travel on its roads or rails.
I conducted a series of interviews several weeks ago with experts on Pakistan and on logistics about this issue. One of those experts, who helped plan our withdrawal from Iraq and is now working with the State Department in Afghanistan, believes "the Russians are going to get a lot of leverage out of it."
Ray Schaible, vice president of operational logistics at the respected not-for-profit LMI (formerly the Logistics Management Institute) says that the withdrawal from Afghanistan may help reshape the Silk Road, which the transit routes travel for much of their length. "Even after the war ends this has potential implications for Russia and the old Silk Road," he said.
But in the meantime many obstacles loom beyond the complications of moving trucks from one rail system to another or transiting remote border areas. All vehicles must undergo agricultural inspection, Schaible notes. "That's a key issue," he said. During the withdrawal from Iraq we used modern facilities in Iraq that made the task relatively painless and speedy. Those facilities do not exist in the countries we will transit.
Schaible said "negotiations going on right now to get third countries to accept equipment not cleaned and washed," but that may take considerable time and diplomatic finesse. In the meantime, we thank the Russians and their neighbors and press on.

Pro-Social Gaming For the Win!
Posted on January 22, 2018
This is going to sound like I'm just talking about Overwatch again, but this time it goes to the very heart of what Game Truck Australia is all about.
The Overwatch League may be only in its infancy, but it attracted over 10 million viewers in its first week and has already sparked some controversy. Last week xQc, a fan favourite from Dallas Fuel, was suspended by the League for four games and fined $2000 for homophobic remarks made on his own stream. His team supported the suspension and extended it for the rest of stage one, indicating their support of the action. While the comments themselves don't bear repeating here, what made them worse was that they were levelled against a player from another team who is openly gay.
This is a pretty big move, no doubt. Blizzard and the League are clearly making an example of this incident and showing that no tolerance will be shown for abusive or bullying behaviour. At the same time this feeds into a culture which thrives on drama and controversy, and no doubt lots of fans would see this punishment as heavy-handed, overreaching, or an example of censorship (which it isn't). For my money I think they have done absolutely the right thing in their quest to create an open, inclusive, and positive League.
But there is some important context here. While video game culture, like any subculture, is broad, diverse, and dynamic, there is no doubt that it has been associated with some extremely anti-social behaviour: at its worst, serious bullying and harrassment of women and minorities. In an excellent book covering these issues, Leena van Deventer and Dan Golding analyse this anti-social behaviour and what might be done about it.
The basic point here is that anti-social behaviour is just not on, but we also need to recognise, celebrate and encourage examples of pro-social gaming behaviour everywhere we can. For example, the CheckPoint project seeks to improve mental health through video games; the Child's Play Charity raises funds for children's health welfare and have raised over $44 million since 2003, and the Gamers Outreach Foundation seeks to improve lives through the power of play. You don't have to look very hard to find stories like this one, where Sean Dench avoided a life of violence and prison through building on his passion for Street Fighter and becoming a world-renowned eSports star.
This prosocial approach to gaming is exactly what Game Truck Australia is all about – we always have the 'best party ever!', but within boundaries. Of course friendly competition in some games is just part of what it's about, but in the Truck we always emphasise sharing, cooperation, and building rather than destruction. We recognise that age-appropriate gaming is essential, and cater every party to the age and stage of the kids who are in the truck, and if we need to get consent for kids under 15 to play M and M15+ games, we do that so that all parents ave their views and preferences about game content respected. In our discussions and blog posts we always try to raise awareness of the diversity of games out there and create conversations between gamers and others (often their parents!).
Most importantly, at the beginning of every party we establish one firm ground rule: no griefing. Kids have a go at defining what that means but we then explain it as anything that ruins someone else's fun: as long as everyone has a great time, everyone is happy. The good news is that we almost never have to moderate bad behaviour in the Truck: when kids are respected and trusted to do the right thing, they generally do (although they will sometimes play at reporting griefing).
Of course this isn't going to change the world, but we hope that this establishes for a good number of kids a positive and prosocial experience of gaming that is fun, engaging, but most importantly respectful. It's a huge honour to run a business that has the potential to have an impact in this way. This is both modelling and an experience that hopes to slowly contribute to a culture where video games are just a normal part of a life that is positive and respectful, and makes the very best of the amazing technology and game design that we have in front of us.

Quickly entering documents with iPads
Previously, giant copiers were hauled into the reception area from elsewhere at CELOP—borrowed from faculty busy preparing class materials for the new semester—so that staff could copy the required immigration documents from incoming students. They stood in long lines and took several minutes each to copy all of the necessary paperwork.
For incoming students, completing the required paperwork is paramount. From Homeland Security's Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) I-901 Form and Customs and Border Protection's I-94 arrival and departure records to copies of passports and even bank guarantee statements, students can be responsible for up to six individual documents. Anywhere from five to eight copies of all the various documents for various agencies are required per student for entry to the university, totalling almost 4,500 pages collected, sorted and stored every semester. At the end of the flurry of paperwork, students receive a testing room number for evaluating current English skills.
The new system provides a valuable service to students. Staff use iPads running the FileMaker Go client and the CNS barcode app. They operate from several iPads at the central admissions desk or rove wirelessly through the throngs of arriving international students, scanning in images of the students' documents. The scanned documents are tagged with the student's university ID number, which associates them with the correct FileMaker record. Documents can be accessed immediately from Mac or Windows computers running FileMaker Pro.

Dear Belove one
Based on your profile, l am happy to request for your assistance because I beleive that you are not going to betrayed the trust which I am going to lay on you Dear Beloved i pray all is well with you and Other members of your family.
My name is Nancy 18 years old and the only daughter of my late parents Mr.and Mrs Dawson, My father was a highly reputable busnness magnet-(a cocoa merchant) who operated in the capital of Ivory coast during his days. It is sad to say that he passed away mysteriously in France during one of his business trips abroad on 12th.November 2005.Though his sudden death was linked or rather suspected to have been masterminded by an uncle of his who travelled with him at that time, but God knows the truth!
My mother died when I was just 6 years old, and since then my father took me so special. Before the death of my Father on November 12th 2005 he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told her that he has the sum of (USD$7.5 000 000) Seven Milion five hundred thousand dollars left in a Bank here in abidjan, for security reasons, he told the secretary that I should contact the Bank for them to know me as his next of kin wich I have did as he instructed,
He also told the secretary that I should not let any of his relations to know about this because he was killed by them and if they know about it, that they will do nothing but to kill me in other to take hold of every thing, He told her that I should seek for a foriegn partner abroad who will help me to transfer the funds and also travel with him or her in other to continue my Live and Education and also to start a Bussines relationship with the person whom can take cear of me in the fucture,
My dear, this is why I have come in contact with you in order to help me transfer the money and send it direct to your country and also to make an arrangement for me on how I will come over to your country in other to continue my Live and Education and also to go into bussines relationship with you hence I am still a child and I dont know any thing about bussines,
I am just 18years old and a university undergraduate and really don't know what to do. this is because I have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in Ivory coast. The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life, My dear, I am in a sincere desire of your humble assistance in this regards and your suggestions and ideas will be highly regarded.
Now permit me to ask these few questions:
1. Can I completely trust you?
2.Can you accept me as your own blood Sister (Or Doughter)?
3.What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you?
Consider this and get back to me as soon as possible with your full assurance that you will not disapoint me in this issue so that i can give you the contact of the Bank where my late Father deposited the money for you to contact them on how the money will be retreived from their custody and transfer to you in your country,
Thank you so much for your understanding and may almighty God bless you and your Family to the Glory of God Almighty,
My sincere regards,
Miss Nancy

Since I am nothing if not a last minute gal, here is something I made this week. I had hoped to lure the kids into making one, too, having this fantasy of making a big collection of them. However, they thought it was cool, but cool for me to have done, not for them. Perhaps your children are less feral?
This was the genesis of the idea- a nightlight cord set all wired up and ready to go at the craft store. It was about three bucks.
Here is the how to section- find a box, cut it to look like this, sort of, unless you have better ideas, which you surely might! As you can see by the cat below, no level of ineptitude is too great. After this I spray painted it black and then glued in yellow copy paper to cover the windows and doors. Then I hacked a hole in the back the size of the night light bulb, ad there you have it! Happy Halloween!

Metal Punching
Punching in metal fabrication is the process of using a machine to press a shape through a sheet of metal and into a die to create that shape in the metal. This is most commonly done by use of a turret, a computer numerical controlled machine that houses tools and their corresponding dies in a revolving indexed turret. These machines use hydraulic, pneumatic, or electrical power to press the shape with enough force to cut the metal.
A misconception about punching is that the shape does the cutting, when in fact the shape presses the material into a die that cuts the metal. The die is also given a tolerance that is measured in thousands of an inch.
Punching can be better understand as pressing the material against a die with a huge force,this force pushes the material into the die and shears off the waste material.

Want to do your part for the environment? National Water Week runs from Saturday 20 October to Sunday 28 October 2012 and Bunnings is encouraging customers to reduce water use around the home and garden.
Bunnings National Watering Buyer, Darren Cox, provides his expert advice on saving water around the home this warm season.
1. Use water wisely and save wherever possible.Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, using a watering can when caring for plants and putting a bucket in the shower and sink to capture any wasted water, which can then be used in the garden.
2. Invest in water saving products. This ensures you maximise water use while keeping costs down. Installing a water saving showerhead or tap not only saves water but also reduces water bill costs.
3. As the weather starts to warm, don't run your sprinklers over time. Get in touch with your local council for more information regarding sprinkler use guidelines. Invest in water-saving products such as tap timers which effectively monitor water usage and trigger adaptors which prevent leaks and drips.
4. Use water saving products when gardening, such as water storage crystals, water saving mulch and soil saturator. These products help the garden by improving soil quality and water retention. It's important to ensure the garden is receiving the right amount of nurture and nutrients, to assist optimum growth of plants and flowers.

For U.S. Mint, cloud computing security transparency effort pays off
U.S. Mint CISO Chris Carpenter said his cloud provider wasn't ready for either his security questions or to share continuous monitoring and log data.
TORONTO – For the United States Mint, its effort to gain insight into the systems and processes that secure its SaaS ecommerce system proved to be a worthwhile investment of time and resources. According to its chief information security officer, however, it faced a tough battle dealing with the resistance from its cloud provider.
Be prepared for resistance and unprepared -ness, because they aren't always prepared for these kinds of questions and requests.
Chris Carpenter, CISO, U.S. Mint
Speaking to attendees at the 2012 SecTor security conference, U.S. Mint CISO Chris Carpenter said he insisted on understanding how his organization's SaaS application was being secured, from system architecture to firewalls and how the provider conducts security internally and externally.
However, he was shocked when his inquiry to the provider was met with the response, "No one has ever asked us that before."
Carpenter quizzed the firm during the Cloud contract negotiation on how it vets its employees, its security controls, its corporate policies, how often it conducts penetration testing, and its incident response plan. Seeking to improve his provider's cloud computing security transparency, he requested to visit the security operations center and forced the firm to provide an example of how it responded to an incident.
"There was tap dancing and delays," by the provider, Carpenter said. "Be prepared for resistance and unpreparedness, because they aren't always prepared for these kinds of questions and requests."
Case in point: Carpenter said his request for continuous monitoring and access to firewall, Web server and database logs specific to the Mint's SaaS application was met with resistance. The cloud provider, recognizing his insistence, eventually created a portal to the information and built the requirement into the contract.
"Cloud providers don't really give you specific logs for your stuff, but your data is there, so you've got to ask for it," Carpenter said. "Down the road, we want it to be a steady stream into our IDSes."
In seeking cloud transparency, it doesn't hurt to ask
IT security pros have been seeking increased transparency from cloud providers, but industry analysts say they often don't have the bargaining power to demand it. Carpenter acknowledges that the cloud provider was eager to sign a contract with the U.S. Mint. The Mint had more than $700 million in sales in 2011, Carpenter said, and would have been its first government client. The U.S. Mint manufactures all of the coins circulating as legal government tender in the United States.
Carpenter, a former pen tester at Fairfax, Va.-based ManTech, joined the U.S. Mint in 2011, and said he was immediately thrust into contract negotiations with the cloud provider, which he declined to name. The Mint's ecommerce system was aging and plans had already been in place to overhaul or replace it. Managed hosting, he added, was seen as a way to reduce costs and transfer risk, while admitting a better scenario would have been to be involved in the project prior to selecting the vendor.
Carpenter urged attendees to ask for their cloud providers' report on compliance or RoC, system security plans and testing results before signing a contract.
Carpenter urged CISOs to conduct aggressive pen testing. A cloud provider may say it runs a Nessus scans, he said, but organizations should do their own intensive testing. Carpenter negotiated external and internal pen testing into his agreement with the provider.
"If you can demonstrate that you have a credible testing program," Carpenter said, "they'll let you in."
Carpenter said the way in which the cloud provider conducted incident response was also initially unclear. The firm reported no incidents, which Carpenter said was clearly an omission.
"As for specific incidents and results," Carpenter said. "You want to see an incident and how they handled it."
SLAs must have incentives for the cloud provider
The U.S. Mint negotiating team clarified incident response notification times in its service level agreement, but more importantly, according to Carpenter, the team inserted language into the service level agreement (SLA) stating that the more features the cloud provider offers, the more money it will make.
"You've got to understand the true impact, or lack of impact of SLAs," Carpenter said. "You have to have an incentive or hold a carrot out so they work hard for you."
The SLA had an escape plan in place in the event that the relationship soured. The Mint got a data escrow vendor to hold its data, which Carpenter said also required extensive research. The Mint's goal was to keep any credit card data out of its data center, eliminating the need to manage the PCI DSS compliance program.
Despite having been more than a year since contract negotiations began, the system is not yet live, Carpenter said. Fortunately, he added, security is not a factor; the implementation has been paused while the cloud provider meets technical requirements on the functional side.

Thanks to Sue Marshall for another picture from the threatened Radford Bridge Road Allotments in Wollaton :
It's a view of Mistletoe (Viscum album) growing on an apple tree. Apple is one of the most common hosts for this hemiparasite, which has green leaves so it can photosynthesise, but takes other nutrients from the host. The plant is also the source of both the common and scientific names of the Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus), one of the main distributors of the plant's berries.
There is an excellent comprehensive source of information about Mistletoe HERE.

Google Video Revokes DRM: Purchased Videos are Gone
I got the strangest e-mail from Google Video just now. Seems they're doing away with their download-to-own/download-to-rent programs, so everything I've purchased will from now on be inaccessible. It's a DRM nightmare come true!
See, when Google Video first launched, in the course of writing a review of it for PC Magazine I purchased and downloaded a Kelly Clarkson video for $1.99. I "bought" it with the understanding that I "owned" it; as in, "this video file now belongs to me because I purchased it." Guess I should've expensed it after all!
As a consolation for taking away something that I owned (what we call "stealing," in common parlance), Google's giving me $2 to use in my next Google Checkout purchase. Is Google exercising eminent domain on my purchased media files?
Luckily, I only had the one video, and it's not something I've watched since I did the review a year and a half ago. So Google's decision doesn't really affect me at all, but it's the principle of the thing: if Google Video can do this, what other online music/video store purchases are susceptible to being "turned off"?

I want new links to open in main window and not open a new browser or tab. What happened to the "open new links in..." option?
And when you right click on a link, the only options are "open link in new tab" or "open link in new window". I want to open the link in the same tab, I don't need 16 tabs opened at the same time.

Is there any reason that you need to right-click to open a link in the same tab?
Just left-click on links if you want them to open in the current tab.
The option is still there as long as you left click. Go into your firefox menu and click options and then go to the tabs section - it should be the first option. You can set it to open in current tab, new tab or new window. Also Tab Mix Plus is an addon that allows you to customize further settings regarding how tabs open
Yes, it should be the first option but it is not, look: I am using 22.0.
You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow pref.
- 1:current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
To clarify - are you trying to force links that normally open in a new window (via JavaScript or the HTML TARGET attribute) to open in the current tab instead?
I fixed this problem. It was pretty easy. First, in the address bar, type in " about:config " . When it asks if you are sure about making changes & it may void the warranty, click "yes--I promise I'll be careful" or something along those lines. (I heard there is no warranty, & it's just a joke)
Once you get to the new screen, find " browser.link.open_newwindow " You will see the # 3 on the same line. Change that value to 1.
Wah-la! :)

fjrigjwwe9r1ContentsResources:HeaderExample:Construct Quadrilateral given 2 Adjacent Sides
Six different types of quadrilaterals
Edges and Vertices
In Euclidean plane
geometry, a quadrilateral is a polygon with four sides (or 'edges') and four vertices or corners.
Sometimes, the term quadrangle is
used, by analogy with triangle,
and sometimes tetragon for consistency with pentagon (5-sided), hexagon (6-sided) and so on. The word quadrilateral is made of the words quad (meaning "four") and lateral (meaning "of sides").
Quadrilaterals are simple (not self-intersecting) or complex (self-intersecting), also called
crossed. Simple quadrilaterals are either convex or concave.
The interior angles of a simple quadrilateral add up to
360 degrees of arc.

(Our solved example in mathguru.com also uses the below concept.
This is our own explanation, it is not taken from Wikipedia.)
To construct a quadrilateral
when 2 adjacent sides( x units, y units) and 3 angles(say 105, 105, 60) are
• Draw a line segment MO = x units
• Make an angle of 105at O
• With O as the centre and radius y units, we mark an arc on the
ray OX
• Make an angle of 105at R
• Make an angle of 60at M
• Mark the point of intersection at R
• MORE is the required Quadrilateral

Bath House holds, among other things, a sauna, which in turn provides heat and hot water for two generous washrooms. As in the Japanese bath houses you use pallet, washcloth and buckets of hot water. There are also three solar heated showers …
The bath house is built in standing timber as old stave churches but with a tin roof and modern solar cells that drives the water pump and solar shower.
Outside there are two wood fired hot tubs – here one can philosophize until late into the night under the gazing stars.
There are also two urine separated toilets and a utility room.
| Linda's privy
Every house in Sjögetorp has its own story – so does this privy, built by two passersby German hiking journeymen: Linda, carpentry and Maxi who is a potter.
First, they dug up the clay from the pond, mixed it with straw and made their own air dried bricks. Linda built a small traditional (german) timber-framed house and signed it finally with a heart shaped lime leaf instead of the traditional heart :)
It is a urine separated toilet.
Tin Castle
the ideal place for weddings, conferences etc…

Proceeding from 8 Do's & Don'ts of Reporting Car Accidents to Insurers (Pt. 1), here, we'll continue highlighting what you should and shouldn't do when dealing with insurance companies for auto accident claims.
DO provide your insurer with copies of photos/other evidence you have related to the collision – If you were able to do things like take photos of the aftermath of the traffic accident, collect contact/insurance info from other involved drivers, etc., then good job – and be prepared to provide this info (or copies of it) to your insurer when reporting the collision. Providing such info/evidence up front can help facilitate the investigation of your claim, potentially helping you get compensation faster.
To protect your claim and yourself as this process moves towards a resolution, keep copies of everything you receive, and keep a detailed log of your phone conversations with insurers (noting the date, time and duration of calls, as well as who you spoke to and the topic of your conversation). Keeping such details can be invaluable later if insurers try to undervalue or wrongfully deny your claim.
Here's what you should avoid doing when reporting car accidents to insurers:
So, if an insurance agent asks you to make an official statement and you are not prepared to do this, simply don't do it. While you can always make an official statement later, you cannot take back a statement already freely given; what's more, if you end up saying the wrong things in your statement because you simply aren't prepared, you could end up giving insurers enough leverage to reduce or deny your payout.

Then, I shower. Get dressed. Put on my make up. Fix my hair or at the very least put it up in a ponytail. Get the kids breakfast ready. Wake the kids, eat breakfast with them, and spend a little time
So can anyone tell me WHY, on that tenth day, things do not go as planned? The tenth day (which was TODAY, by the way) is the day I try valiantly to sleep as late as my children. It's never successful, especially lately, but I do try. I skip the normal (ie, hygienic) parts of my morning such as showering or brushing my teeth. I throw sweat pants on under the t-shirt that I slept in, still have yesterday's eye makeup running down my cheeks, and my hair is sticking out everywhere. I wake the kids just a few minutes after I get out of bed, throw granola bars at them, and then I drive my kids to school so as not to face anyone. Yes, I know our country is paying through the nose for gasoline and driving my kids one hundred yards to school is ridiculous, but I do it on those occasional mornings. I put on my sunglasses, smile and wave gamely to the crossing guards, and get the hell back home before anyone notices (not that they care, but before they notice) how truly awful I look.
So WHY, I ask again, is it THOSE mornings, (THIS morning, to be exact) when I arrive back home three minutes later, hair askew, pajama top still on, and wearing house-slippers, that my daughter calls to tell me she left her glasses at home and can I please bring them back to the school???

I've always been a fan of dark meat chicken or turkey and usually have a good supply of chicken thighs in my freezer (thank you Costco). I made this sauce one night to cover my thighs (I can't believe I just told you that. LOL).
This recipe will quickly add lots of zip and zing to your poultry no matter if you're serving breasts, thighs, legs or wings. So if you want to slather this sauce on your breasts one day, who am I to stop you!?! LOL
8-10 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 limes juiced, plus the zest from one (always zest prior to juicing)
2 tablespoons sriracha (found in the ethnic aisle of the grocery store)
-Layer the chicken in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
-Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl.
-Brush the sauce over the chicken breast and allow to sit for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
-Preheat your over to 350 degrees
-Meanwhile, add the remaining sauce to a small saucepan and allow it boil and thicken and reduce by half (approximately 7-10 minutes)
-Place the marinated chicken in the oven for 20 minutes.
-Remove the chicken from the oven and brush with the remainder of the thickened sauce.
-Place the chicken back into the oven and continue to cook for an additional 20 minutes (or until the thighs reach an internal temperature of 180 degrees.)
-Remove from the oven, cover and allow to sit for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
The result will be a sweet, spicy, sticky and tangy chicken that will overwhelm your taste buds with it's deliciousness and make you giddy with delight. Well, at least that's how we felt. HAHA!
I served my chicken with some roasted butternut squash and sunflower seeds. It went together perfectly and was just right for a cool Autumn evening!
I hope you've enjoyed this recipe and will let me know your thoughts. As always I appreciate your visit to my Kudos Kitchen! You're always welcome so pull up a chair and sit a spell. Dinner will be ready in no time!
Until we eat again,

That title doesn't even make sense. Oh well. I couldn't think of any witty card puns you see. But... I have been inspired to make cards - you know, greeting cards, blank on teh inside, for farewelling and hello-ing. Pictures below are for a little run of about 5 I did. Used nice pigment ink, waterprrof, fade proof black rollerball nibbed ink pen, and then watercolour. Fine cartridge. Cut them out and glued onto textured heavier weight watercolour card.

The Worksheet Dilemma: Benefits of Play-Based Curricula. It was three o'clock and preschool was over for the day. Four-year-old Jamaica, her arms full of papers, called out to her mom. Jamaica's mother smiled and asked, "What's all this? Your school work?" Jamaica nodded and handed the papers to her mother. Jamaica had spent a large part of the afternoon in her seat, pencil in hand, filling out worksheets. On one she had drawn lines from the letter "A" to the picture of an apple; from the letter "P" to the pear; and from the letter "O" to the orange. On another sheet she made her pencil go from the dot on the top line to the dot on the bottom line, thus making the lower-case letter "l." Jamaica's lines were a bit shaky, and her teacher had written, "You can do better" on the page. Jamaica's mother was concerned when she saw the comment and worried that her daughter was not performing well. In truth, Jamaica's work was fine. Her teacher's expectations were the problem.

Investor Refresher: The Basics of Increasing Commercial Tenant Satisfaction and Retention1 Comment
By: Jeff Adams, Vice President, JLL
Building ownership and management is a business. Thus, losing tenants, like clients, can directly impact your ultimate sucess.
It can take two years to regain lost income if a single tenant leaves according to our study, The Cost of Losing a Tenant. You must also account for construction costs and the absence of rent during leasing downtime.
As a landlord, it's important to maintain a healthy portfolio of consistent, long-term tenants. To increase tenant retention and earn a consistent profit, you should put a strategic action plan in place to maintain current tenants. Through strategic management, the ultimate goal is to achieve building-wide tenant satisfaction.
Why? According to a survey done by Kingsley Associates, the likelihood of lease renewal is tripled when tenants are sufficiently satisfied with management.
Here's how you can increase your chances of maintaining tenants and winning new ones.
Boost Tenant Satisfaction With a Tenant Management Program
The key to a successful management program is strategic communication. Make the management team available to tenants, and respond quickly to problems or questions.
First, get to know your tenant's business. Understand what amenities help them run their businesses more efficiently. Start by asking yourself (and them):
- How does their space contribute to their brand?
- Do they require special technology?
- Do they hold large meetings on a daily basis?
- Are they likely to expand?
- How do they communicate best?
Once you have a pulse on your tenant's business goals and needs, create a suitable program to streamline ongoing communications.
You can begin by hosting annual property management meetings to obtain direct feedback on what your tenants like, dislike and address any specific issues. But, you and your management staff shouldn't solely rely on annual meetings. Consider the following strategies to keep communication a regular occurrence in your property:
- Publishing monthly or quarterly building newsletters.
- Send weekly, bi-weekly or monthly email blasts to tenants to inform them of updates, changes or events.
- Survey tenants on prospective capital improvements or amenity adjustments to the building.
But, to create a comprehensive program, you should strive to increase engagement and let your tenants know they are top of mind. Consider hosting engaging tenant-related events like food and beverage events, annual holiday parties, or hosting watch parties for major sports events in the building's lobbies, or tenant lounges.
Ask the Right Questions and Prepare a Solution
As workplace design continues to evolve, the most important questions for property managers and leasing agents should focus on how the tenant's existing space is working for them. The space they chose five, seven or especially 10 years ago may not be ideal for their needs today.
Most landlords already have an understanding of the needs related to current day amenities and building deficiencies. But, if you don't know what tenants need within their individual space, it's likely they're already looking elsewhere.
With meaningful suggestions in hand, take action.
A timely follow-up to a tenant's question or problem can have a major impact on whether or not they renew their lease. Tenants will remember the effort you put forth to address their concerns quickly when it comes time for a renewal discussion.
Measure Program Results
It's crucial to benchmark tenant happiness and retention prior to launching your management program. Every six months evaluate the impact that you have made.
One way to do this is with a survey measuring tenant satisfaction. Don't simply ask for yes or no answers related to happiness. Elicit valuable feedback by asking open-ended questions, and questions with scaled answers (e.g. "On a scale of 1-10 …").
You should also monitor your tenant retention, and ask for feedback from tenants who decide to leave. The feedback from unsatisfied or former tenants can help guide you in the direction you need to take in the future.
Offer Incentives
Depending on the strength of your market and flexibility of your client, incentives can be a great way to give your tenant satisfaction ratings and extra boost. Tenants will likely appreciate the perks and extras they receive, and they can be a great way to differentiate your property from others.
If your budget and location allow it, consider implementing one of the following building-related incentives:
- Tenant lounges
- Outdoor plazas or rooftop decks
- Community conference rooms
- Fitness facilities
- Attached parking garages
- Onsite restaurants
- Dry cleaning pick-up and drop-off
- Car washing services
Or opt for one of these premises-related incentives:
- Offer free rent and / or early beneficial occupancy.
- Turn-key construction for tenants that want to agree on a floor plan, then move in on a predetermined date.
- Tenant improvement allowances for tenants that want to control their own construction process.
- Complete selective or total demolition of obsolete layouts in existing vacancies prior to tenant construction work.
With regular communication and timely solutions to their challenges, happy tenants will likely remain. This will increase the value of your property and maintain consistent returns.

From: John Stracke <email@example.com> Consider what happens if you need to create a resource with a particular body and some particular properties. If you don't have lock-nulls (or transactions), then you do PUT, LOCK, PROPPATCH, UNLOCK Actually, since you don't know whether or not something is there already, you'd always first try the LOCK. If the LOCK fails (because there is no resource there to LOCK), you do a PUT (with an empty body) followed by a LOCK. So what you do is: LOCK (if fail because no resource there, then PUT null-body; LOCK) PUT; PROPATCH; UNLOCK So all LOCK-NULL buys you is the avoidance of the extra PUT/LOCK in case there is no resource there yet. (or maybe skip the LOCK/UNLOCK, since it's only protecting one operation). Even if you just did a single operation, you still want the LOCK/UNLOCK to prevent another (locking) client from performing its edits using the state of the resource prior to your operation (i.e. you don't want to "lose" your operation). If you and somebody else are trying to create it at the same time, then you could get PUT1, PUT2, PROPPATCH2, PROPPATCH1, resulting in resource whose properties don't match its body. With lock-null, you can do LOCK, PUT, PROPPATCH, UNLOCK. Without lock null resources, you still wrap LOCK/UNLOCK around your sequence of operations. The only difference is that if your LOCK fails because there is no resource to LOCK, you issue a PUT with an empty body, followed by a retry of the LOCK. Note: If someone gets in ahead of you and locks the dummy resource you just created, that's no different than someone getting their lock-null LOCK request in ahead of you. Note 2: Hopefully there are some GET's and PROPFIND's mixed in with those PUT's and PROPPATCH's, or else you're going to lose the previous updates, whether or not you use LOCK's.

Do It Yourself: How To Pour Concrete
Long-lasting, versatile, and economical, done right a new patio can be a beautiful rendition to your property. No matter the design, or the project placement, a concrete patio can provide a fun area to enjoy the outdoors and add a prominent feature to your landscape.
Before we tackle how to pour concrete, we must take the initiative to understand the fundamentals behind our material.
Grasping the core basis of our materials is what will pave the roadway for a successful project.
In its initial state, concrete is a blend of paste, aggregates, and rocks. Through hydration, this adhesive material will harden and gain the capacity to develop the proper framework for our concrete project.
Being able to manipulate a chemical reaction is a remarkable trait. When newly mixed, it is plastic and malleable, vigorous and durable when hardened. Economical. Versatile. Durable. Building materials available. Regardless of your skill level, developing a sidewalk, patio, or floor with concrete blends can be achieved successfully.

- African EduWeek Empowers Teachers & Students in July 2015
African EduWeek returns to Johannesburg in July with more of the latest classroom technology and teacher development
"Our core focus will always be the teacher in the classroom"
SABC Education African EduWeek is back from 1-2 July in a new venue, with more free-to-attend educational training and development for teachers, a futuristic look at teaching and even more suppliers with the latest classroom technology and services.
"Last year the event underwent a huge transformation to a more expo-focused gathering", Tanya Jackman, event director of the annual SABC Education African EduWeek. "But we want continue to challenge ourselves and our teachers, making sure we bring them content that is relevant for today's educators, including the latest classroom technology, free edu-theatre talks and workshops and the opportunity to engage with educational peers and experts from across the globe." The conference and exhibition is taking place from 1-2 July this year at the new and larger venue of Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand.
"The move to Gallagher enables us to offer our teachers, experts and exhibitors so many more opportunities", says Tanya. "The 165% increase in visitors last year with 2436 teachers and education experts attending the expo and conference, gave us the stamp of approval that we are meeting the needs of the education sector. This year we are expecting in excess of 4000 education professionals and more than 150 local and international exhibitors will showcase their products and solutions, compared to last year's 90."
The African EduWeek exhibition will feature products and services for the education sector in areas that include basic education, IT, higher education, inclusive education, science and maths, safety and security, sustainability and energy efficiency and school supplies and stationery.
"We want to continue to empower our educators"
"Our core focus will always be the teacher in the classroom", says African EduWeek's Tanya Jackman, "wherever this is or whatever form this classroom may take. Our conference and workshops will therefore be free to attend this year. We want to continue to empower our educators to go back to their schools with new ideas, insight and confidence to face the daily challenges at school, whether it is about teaching skills, social problems impacting learners' performance or using e-learning tools and educational technology."
Last year, African EduWeek signed an exclusive media partnership with SABC Education which Tanya Jackman says "truly enabled us to take the event to the next level, enabling us to reach our target audience in the farthest corners of the country, through its radio, TV and online outreach. We will also welcome back our large international Chinese pavilion. Last year, we celebrated Chinese-South African educational and trade exchange with a special China Day at the event by the CEIEC or the China Educational Instrument & Equipment Corporation, a major supplier of educational and scientific equipment. CEIEC were very pleased to meet so many high-level stakeholders in South Africa's education sector and will be returning with an even larger presence on the exhibition floor in July."
E-Tech – in African context
New at this year's African EduWeek is the co-located, paid for, E-Tech Africa conference, specifically focused on all things technology in education. "Our programme is beyond exciting", says Tanya, "as we look at the importance of technology innovation in the classroom, especially in African context. We have local and global experts, ready to show us the future of learning. During the opening session, South Africa's own Foundation for Space Development will unveil a helium balloon release into the earth's stratosphere, we will virtually visit various classrooms in the UK, South Africa and the United States and we will get a sneak preview into the classroom of the future!"
More E-Tech Africa programme highlights include:
- Technology innovation and development in Africa
– Graham Brown-Martin, renowned speaker on technology and education and the founder of Learning Without Frontiers (LWF)
- Smart computing, enabling people of all ages to explore computing
– Graham Schwikkard, raspberrypi
- The exploration of 3D printing
– Jared De Waal, Business Manager, Solid Edge Technology
- The importance of implementing coding into the curriculum
– Camile Agon, Programme Manager, Breteau Foundation

In many cases dog bites take place when a victim is legally present in the dog owner's premises – examples are guests, friends, newspaper delivery man, mail carrier, a repairman or a service provider of some kind. It doesn't matter if the victim is a child or an adult, if the attacking dog has a past history of being vicious or if it is its first time.
The liability laws regarding dog attacks are strict and you can initiate legal action against a dog owner if you were attacked and injured by his/her unrestrained canine because of no fault of yours.
How to initiate legal action?
First of all, you need to talk to and obtain counsel from reputable and capable compensation lawyers who are experienced in handling cases like these. Next you have to establish the dog's ownership in order to bring the dog owner to book.
Although medical attention and intervention is a top priority in case of a dog attack, you should not forget to take photographs of your injuries, the scene, the attacking dog and other kinds of proofs that can help substantiate your claim. Eyewitness statements are equally important.
You need to talk at length with your compensation lawyers if the dog owner is covered by insurance (though many insurance providers refuse to offer coverage to the dangerous breeds mentioned above).
Insurance adjustors may use any statement given by you against you for denying your dog attack claims and hence you should consult Compensation Lawyers gather all the necessary evidence before proceeding aggressively to claim damages for your personal injuries, psychological scars and medical expenses.
Mind you, your case will be dismissed if you intentionally tried to provoke the dog or were on the premises unlawfully.

I'm sitting here watching the most recent version of the Cinderella story. I have to say it is both beautiful and heart wrenching.
I always knew that Cinderella lost her parents. I always knew that her stepmother was mean and her stepsisters were a bit nasty but wow! This movie brings so much perspective to the reality of dear Ella's plight as an orphaned girl left in the selfish and neglectful care of people who neither wanted her nor deserved her.
There's a scene where she is thoroughly exhausted and broken. Tears streaming down her face, she leaves her house to ride her horse. She comes across a stag and although she is in the depths of heartache she shows great compassion. As her mother told her in her dying days: "Have courage and be kind".
And so she finds courage despite her difficult circumstances and she shows kindness to her evil stepmother, her stepsisters, a frightened stag, even little mice. In her darkest moment, she still shows kindness to an absentminded old woman.
My dad's birthday was Wednesday October 14th. He passed away nearly 5 years ago. In my heart I hold many memories. Some are so precious. Some are painful.
On his best days, my father knew no stranger and his deep belly laugh would turn heads.
Sadly on his darkest days, the very ones deserving of his greatest kindness were often the recipients of words and actions that cut deep leaving scars that continue to seek healing.
For me, it has been a constant battle to wade through the realities of my dad's mental illness and the very real hurts that I experienced.
On the day my father passed away, my mom found a handwritten note posted in the bathroom with a quote from one of his favorite movies: "I choose to be pleasant".
I may not have been able to fully experience on earth the daddy I hoped to have but I know that he wanted to be that person.
I can choose to be bitter or choose to honor the beauty that was his laugh, and hold with great fondness our mutual affection for Boston Creme Donuts and treasure his Donald Duck impression that would have kept my kids in stitches for days on end.
Life, indeed, is not always easy. And we all have a past that may not be as beautiful as we would care to admit.
The future, however, is full of promise…full of the most wonderful possibilities. I can love my children with reckless abandonment, I can join my husband on this grand adventure of marriage, I can suck the marrow out of every sunrise and sunset and have the courage to be the woman God has called me to be.
And that's beautiful.

ITER is an international fusion reactor which is being constructed under the collaborative efforts of seven participating countries namely European Union, United States of America, Russia, Japan, Korea, China and India. The main objective of ITER is to demonstrate the scientific and technical feasibility of a controlled fusion reaction by producing about 500MWth of fusion power by Deuterium - Tritium Plasma at Cadarache, France.
The Indian scope of the project is being accomplished through ITER India, Institute for Plasma Research (IPR), an autonomous institute under Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India. ITER-India has entrusted TCE the responsibility for detailed engineering of the project for Component Cooling Water System (CCWS), Chilled Water System (CHWS) and Heat Rejection System (HRS).
A team from Tata Consulting Engineers is currently working on these assignments. For the systems engineered by Tata Consulting Engineers, the scope of work ranges from design basis report and system optimization to tender specifications. It also includes Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Inspectability analysis (RAMI) and Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality analysis (FMECA).
Electric power system comprises components and systems like Generators, transformers, transmission lines and distribution networks, each of which is liable to be affected by insulation failure, due to over voltage or over load. They may also fail under normal service conditions owing to aging or poor quality of material or of manufacturing process. The conductors comprising the transmission and distribution network are also exposed to the elements like lightning, rain, wind, snow etc. which can cause short circuit faults or otherwise damage supporting structures. Insulation failure due to any of these causes lead to trip outs and other disturbances which at times be severe enough to culminate in wide spread power outages or black outs.
Project features:
Simultaneous development of Underground Coal Mines and Aerotropolis
The Project area hosts a number of regionally persistent coal seams having substantial reserves and also rich in Coal Bed Methane (CBM).
Tata Consulting Engineers conducted various technological investigations to assess the possibilities for simultaneous development of BAPL Project, underground mining of coal and plan of exploitation of CBM. Tata Consulting Engineers carried out the studies in the following three stages:
Impact assessment
Preparing a mining plan and Detailed Project Report for Underground mining with zero subsidence at surface
Approach to exploit CBM potential within the BAPL project area from outside the BAPL area.
On the basis of TCE investigations, the BAPL Project was given 'green signal' by the West Bengal State Government in consultation with Ministry of Coal (MoC) and Ministry of Aviaion (MoA).
A World Bank funded initiative, the West Bengal Pollution Control Board appointed Tata Consulting Engineers a sector study of sponge iron (SI) industry in West Bengal in 2012-13.
The Challenge
The principal alternative route in iron making is Direct Reduction of Iron (DRI) by use of coal. The sponge iron sector is characterized by operators ranging from small scale capacity of maximum 50 or 100 tpd units to large scale enterprises of about 500 TPD. The process is dependent on sized iron ore and non-coking coal of 25% ash content.
Due to the scarcity of such non-coking coal with 25% ash content the industry depends on high ash coal which results in inferior product quality as well as poor environmental compliance.
Assignment Scope
Tata Consulting Engineers was entrusted with the assessment of Environmental pollution impact of sponge iron units in West Bengal vis-à-vis the rest of India and suggest clean technology options.
This includes scope for use of clean coal bed methane (CBM), which is available in Eastern coal fields and use in direct reduction substituting coal partially in 60 sponge iron (SI) units across West Bengal. This would ultimately lead to a path for future technology transformation to gas based reduction with CBM. About 10 (ten) SI units has been visited for monitoring the emissions and assessing the status of environmental management and overall nearly sixty (60) Units surveyed in five (5) districts of West Bengal.
The Study Report aims at facilitating capacity build up of Environmental Compliance Assistance Centre (ECAC), an independent Centre presently under WBPCB in achieving environmental compliance and directing the policy decision makers and industry stakeholders for a re-positioning of this industry sector throughout India in the years ahead.
Value Additions
Tata Consulting Engineers carried out the studies from the environmental, commercial and technological angle and put forth recommended solution such as Tunnel Kiln technology, coal quality management, etc. The assessment report and recommendations are expected to benefit the state of West Bengal and the sponge iron industry sector here.

IT-enabled drafting for ITI Students
Employability for students in the ITI courses
Program execution:
Independent program conducted by TCE employees
Computer aided design (CAD) and mechanical drafting are entry level skills that are core to our design engineering services. Several technical institutes in India have the draftsman trade in their curriculum. These courses are taken up by youngsters who cannot afford regular skill building programs. However these trades do not involve computer and IT applications. This skill gap which makes the youngsters enrolled in the government-supported ITI programs more employable is met with our unique Draftsman Design Application course as a CSR & Affirmative Action initiative.
TCEndeavour's Affirmative Action program to provide education and employability is designed to impart practical knowledge in TCE's core expertise. This program will help increase employability of SC/ST students with requisite qualifications. The plan is to provide training in IT drafting applications for 2nd year SC/ST students in the ITI draftsman trade. The program comprises three levels of training – Basic, Advanced & Specialist with a certification at the end of each level.
The pilot program is presently running in Bangalore and Chennai as a series of weekend courses. The TCEndeavour Champs
Volunteered to serve as Trainers. The students found the program extremely relevant as the training filled a skill gap in their regular ITI program. The students in Bangalore requested a fast-track course and completed the basic program in time for their ITI campus job interview schedules. The basic course covers the basics in AUTOCAD drafting application. This will provide students an edge over others in the campus recruitments.
The advanced course entails detailed application orientation that will help students qualify for apprenticeships in the industry. The specialist programs will involve training in piping, electrical and aspects of detailed design engineering. Students will be provided a certificate once they complete and qualify at each phase of the program. The basic course for the students in the pilot program is complete and some students found placements in the industry. The program will be extended to other locations in a phased manner.

Get in the Room with People Like That
|Yoshihara Sensei - Ryushin Shouchi Ryu
I think one reason the true masters of the martial arts convey a unique power is their integrity. To stay with a path that is composed of hard work, pain, humility and very little financial gain takes a special character. Even if that character isn't present at the start, it often emerges over the decades required to understand and internalize the principles of legitimate heritage martial arts. You have to be in it for its own sake. If you get a little money or fame doing it that's nice, but at its core the thing you love is the thing itself, and that shines through when it's true.
