Lectio Divina
"And should I not have concern for the great city of Ninevah, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left—and also many animals?" ~God, Jonah 4:11
The key to understanding the little book of Jonah is in the final chapter. Jonah ran from God not because he feared the people of Ninevah, but because he feared that God would forgive them!
God asks Jonah to go and preach to his enemies. Ninevah was one of the principle cities of Assyria, Israel's feared enemy to the north (who would in fact invade in 722). God's request was rather like being asked to play for the team you hate in order to help them win. As Jonah prefers the Assyrians not repent, he boards a ship heading in the opposite direction. God, of course, pursues him, and the prophet eventually repents and promises to preach to the Assyrians. His anger and bitterness run deep though. In a twist of irony, the preacher who was shown grace is angry when God shows grace to Ninevah.
Jonah is really the story of an angry, bitter preacher. He wants to preach angry tirades and watch the wrath of God fall on his enemies! For all of Jonah's complaining and anger, however, he is correct that God is merciful and gracious. God loves the world—Israelites, Assyrians, Egyptians, and Edomites. He wants all to come to repentance so that none perish. His heart beats for this world.
Jonah was a bitter, narrow-minded preacher who got more upset over the loss of his little shade tree than he did over the potential destruction of a city full of men, women, and children. How about you? What is your attitude toward the lost world around you? Do you love only "God's people," the chosen ones? Or do you long to see the people of this world come to a place of repentance and experience the same grace you have been given. Why should we withhold grace from others when we have been freely given the grace of God ourselves?
Lectio Divina is written by F. Lionel Young III, who serves as the senior pastor of Calvary Church in Valparaiso, Indiana. He is the author of A New Kind of Missionary, a popular introduction to global Christianity.

Our analysis is based on comparing Safety Insurance Group, Inc. with the following peers – Progressive Corporation, Allstate Corporation, Mercury General Corporation, Infinity Property and Casualty Corporation and American International Group, Inc. (PGR-US, ALL-US, MCY-US, IPCC-US and AIG-US).
Safety Insurance Group, Inc.'s dividend yield is 3.12 percent and its dividend payout is 66.35 percent. This compares to a peer median dividend yield of 2.12 percent and a payout level of 58.96 percent. This type of dividend performance might make it a good stock for dividend investors. However, the company's relatively low dividend quality score of 25 out of a possible score of 100 raises questions on the sustainability of its robust payout ratio.
Dividend Quality Overview
- Over the last twelve months (prior to March 31, 2017), SAFT-US paid a low quality dividend, which represents a yield of 4.16% at the current price.
- Dividend quality trend has not been consistent over the last five years. Dividends were paid during each of these years — of these 3 were high quality and 2 were low quality.
- The ending cash balance is less than the last full year dividend payment and cannot be relied on to cushion any significant reduction of cash flows in the future.
Quadrant label definitions. Hover to know more
Dividend Coverage
Over the last twelve months (prior to March 31, 2017), SAFT-US paid a low quality dividend.
The source of the company's cash to support the dividend paid over the last twelve months is operating cash flow (coverage of 2.31x), investing cash flow (coverage of -1.39x), issuance cash flow (coverage of 0x) and twelve-month prior cash (coverage of 0.85x), for a total dividend coverage of 1.76x.
These coverage ratio factors imply that the firm had to dip into the beginning cash balance to pay the dividend, which suggests a low dividend quality.

The editors set out to create "a 'Volume IF for practitioners in intensive care" and, in large measure, succeed. This wide-ranging, multiauthored book is a by product of a critical care symposium sponsored by the Department of Surgery at the University of Michigan in May 1984 and is impressive, not in least part in that it appeared in print in August, a scant 2 months after the symposium. Although the contributors are largely from departments of surgery, several sections are written by physiologists, internists, engineers, and physicians with a biomedical engineering and legal/ethical orientation, a multidisciplinary approach recognizing that notions

The connections between outlining and design are quite evident. It is even proper and correct to say that when one outlines, they are designing a story, novel, article, etc. With it being such an apt description of the process one is left wondering how one could implement design methods into plotting. That is what I've discovered with design thinking. It is a variation to a similar theme that will get you designing your work differently.
What Is Design Thinking?
According to Creativityatwork.com, design thinking is "a methodology used by designers to solve complex problems, and find desirable solutions for clients," and "Design Thinkingdraws upon logic, imagination, intuition, and systemic reasoning, to explore possibilities of what could be—and to create desired outcomes that benefit the end user (the customer)."
Even in its own definition it parallels the outlining process. That's because writersare designing when they plan. They are actively solving…

Festival Dates: March 9 – 18, 2018
Festival Director: Jaie Laplante
Opening Night Film: Tully, USA & Israel, 2018, directed by Jason Reitman
Awards Night Film: Holy Goalie (Que baje Dios y lo vea) , Spain, 2018, directed by Curro Velázquez
Poster Art: Jim Morin's delightfully barbed creations have skewered contemporary issues over four decades. For the 2018 Miami Film Festival poster, his tongue-in-cheek work is open to a plethora of interpretations, from environmental through escapism and many more on either side of those debates. My favorite? Miamians fondly embrace the often wacky hijinks that come with living in our tropical paradise – and for me, Morin's 2018 poster encourages us to think of Miami life as if we were living in our own movie.

I've googled and searched the wiki quite a bit but haven't found any comprehensive summaries of the things that were discussed about 1.5 at Minecon. The videos that covered the event are online, but they're over an hour long each... Are there any existing summaries out there that anyone knows of, that lists everything that was discussed/announced about 1.5? i.e the changes that are known to be coming, the things the devs said regarding people's questions during the Q&A session, etc?

This is the best moist Chocolate Loaf Cake I have ever made. A bold but true statement I knows. It took me rather unawares……….
I love researching for this blog. I love pouring over cook books, discovering simple delicious recipes and I LOVE eating all my experiments of course, well most of them………. I only write the recipes here that really, really float my boat and I feel passionately about. I could shout very loudly about all of them but this one I would run naked through Sainsburys for……..
It is DIVINE. It's simplicity in making only adds to it's stupendous qualities. Damp and so deeply chocolatey you can't believe it only contains cocoa. It just can't be………
I first made it at the weekend when the P.T.A put out a distress call for Cakes and Biscuits for the local village fete. NO one had donated a single crumb. How awful I thought, imagining crestfallen P.T.A mums standing around a packet of store bought Garibaldis all day.
That's not going to even raise enough for a Pritt Stick. So at 6 a.m the next morn I found myself answering that call to arms in my very unattractive pyjamas (my top has shrunk….yeah right).
I knew exactly what I wanted to bake. I couldn't muster up the energy or enthusiasm for a sandwich cake. I get stressed about all the levelness involved if it's for public consumption.
I needed something super reliable and no nonsense. A builders answer to a Victoria Sandwich if you like. I also wanted a bit of a WOW factor. You know what the school gates can be like……
So I came up with this dark beauty of a Chocolate Loaf Cake and I think it is in my top three of favourite family recipes…… ALREADY.
It was taken in part from Nigella's Quadruple Chocolate Loaf and tinkered with to suit what I had in my fridge and the needs of my P.T.A ego.
The original used dark chocolate chips but as I usually do I substituted milk chocolate instead. I used Green & Black's Baking Milk Chocolate and it kept it's chunkiness in baking just brilliantly. I cut up a bar into 1/2 cm pieces.
I felt my anxiety hit espresso levels on an empty stomach when I saw how thin the batter was. WTF I thought as I literally poured it into the loaf tin…….Garibaldis it is then.
But it was like something from the movies. It actually rose and not only level with the tin, it rose craggily higher, resembling something from the Brecon Beacons as I pulled it excitedly from the oven.
Gosh it was weighty too. Not only did it look like a brick it felt like one too. I could feel all the moistness from that liquid batter hanging on in there.
Oh and the smell. I felt like I was in the Von Trapp family as the children came down the stairs one by one bleary eyed and asking what the delicious smell was…..I just knew the day was going to be a good one………Climb every Chocolate Loaf Mountain.
Nigella recommends a chocolate syrup for the crowning glory. That sounded too low on the visual aspect scale. I was needing to compete with candyfloss and giant dummies remember. So I whipped up some real chocolate buttercream and slathered it on good and thick.
The real problem was by now I had become aware just what I had created and the realisation that I was going to have to part with it hit me hard………I seriously thought about buying some Garibaldis instead but that would be very bad sharing……….
I dutifully delivered this damp chocolate beauty and it was received with suitable P.T.A reverence and I came away proud of my sharing and, moreover, intent on baking another that very same day. I simply couldn't not.
Again the anxiety levels rose as I slipped it into the oven and watched, hopeful once more for craggy peaks. She did not disappoint. What an absolute goer.
After another jolly good slicking of chocolate icing I was finally, finally able to sink my gnashers into this Chocolate Loaf. I just knew it was going to be good but I really did not expect it to be as good as it was. It was one of the best chocolate cakes I have ever eaten.
It is a deeply chocolatey cake, darkly damp, positively moist in fact and studded with milk chocolate pieces. The chocolate icing elevates it all to another level too and it will be my chocolate cake go to forever more.
So EASY to make and it keeps brilliantly. In fact I think it even gets better the longer it lasts. I just finished the last piece off this morning (Wednesday) and I made it Sunday and it was still completely and utterly LUSH.
Chocolate Loaf Recipe
I use a paper loaf tin liner and bake in a loaf tin that is a 3 lb tin measuring 24 cm long, 13 cm wide and 7 cm high. It is a lot of cake.
You can make this in a free standing mixer. Repeat the steps as if you were using the food processor but be very careful when mixing in the hot water. Start on the lowest speed until it is safe to speed it up without the water splashing over the bowl.
I have made this with plain flour too and added 3 tsp of baking powder.
This stores extremely well in any air tight container and will freeze beautifully if double wrapped in cling film and then silver foil. Thaw for 4 hours at room temperature on a wire rack. Then unwrap and frost as normal. You can do the same with individual slices. Obviously they will take less time to thaw.
Chocolate Loaf Cake
This Chocolate Loaf Cake is a deeply chocolatey cake, darkly damp and studded with delicious milk chocolate. The chocolate icing elevates it all to another level too and it will be my chocolate cake go to forever more.
- 225 grams self raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 300 grams caster sugar
- 175 grams unsalted butter soft
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 80 mls buttermilk
- 50 grams cocoa
- 2 large eggs
- 125 mls boiling water
- 100 grams milk chocolate chips
Chocolate Icing
- 100 grams unslated butter
- 150 grams icing sugar
- 100 grams dark chocolate melted
Pre heat the Oven to 170 C - Gas Mark 3 - 325 F
By far the easiest way to make this cake is to do so in a food processor. Put all the cake ingredients apart from the water and chocolate chips, into your food processor and whizz well to combine.
Tip the just boiled water down the funnel and whizz again until the mix is a liquid batter. You need to scrape the bowl down with a spatula before whizzing again.
Take the blade out of the bowl and loosely mix in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into a 3lb lined loaf tin. I use paper liners.
Bake for 50/60 mins and check that an inserted skewer comes out mostly clean. The loaf will be split and domed. Think Brecon Beacons darling.
Wash out the food processor and put all the icing ingredients in before whizzing together for ultimate chocolate pleasure.
Allow the cake to cool. I take it out of it's tin and put it on a wire rack to hasten the cooling.
Slather on the chocolate icing when completely cool.
Apply to Very Proud of Herself Face.
Recipe Notes
Keep the Milk Chocolate Chips chunky so they don't melt in the batter. I use Green and Black's Cooking Milk Chocolate. It's perfect because it is a thick bar. The chocolate chips that you buy in a bag will just melt into the batter.
This Cake keeps ecstatically well in a cake dome or air tight container. I mentioned above how I think it may actually get better for it. I have kept it for four days so far and it was just as good as the first day.
It does freeze well too. Wrap in a double layer of clingfilm and then foil once completely cool. Freeze for up to 3 months. Obviously without the Icing.....

In California, Canada, and the European Union, the demand for lower CI biofuels is set to rise for at least the next decade. Other market could adopt similar policies. To date, the focus has largely been on renewable diesel fuel. However, as the policies move forward, market constraints are almost certain to develop and require both industry and policy adjustments. How will these low CI policy goals be met? Will other countries follow? What are the challenges and opportunities for market participants in a falling CI world?

I was born and raised in Quezon City, Philippines. I've since lived in 3 countries, the Philippines, the US, Canada; always leaving and arriving the day before my birthday.

Adrian and Ayin from my practice marriage and Alexander with my lifelong marriage.
Growing up I preferred Nancy Drew books over Barbie dolls.

I can only hope that some of the pain and grief is eased thru blogging. And, that sharing my trials can somehow comfort families who are going thru what my family and I went thru. My story isn't a bed of roses nor is it forever treading water. It is a story of faith and perseverance.

Don't discard the leafy green tops when you buy a bunch of beets from the farmers market. Instead, use them to make pesto. Beet greens are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins and iron. This recipe comes to us from the Oldways Whole Grains Council, courtesy of Kelly Toups.
Serves 4
- 1 large zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
- 1/2 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
- 1 bunch beet greens, washed thoroughly (can substitute with 1 ½ cups spinach)
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 8 oz whole grain pasta, cooked according to package instructions
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Preheat oven to 425F.
Season zucchini slices with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and roast for 25 minutes.
While the zucchini is cooking, add walnuts to a high powered blender or food processor, and pulse until it reaches a fine meal.
Add the beet greens, garlic, basil, lemon juice & zest, half of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and pulse until the mixture begins to combine (you may need to pause and scrape down the sides).
Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil and blend until well combined.
In a large bowl, toss cooked pasta with the zucchini, chickpeas, tomatoes, and pesto sauce.

Our KX mid tower is well equipped and offers an attractive price-performance-ratio.
The KX is a functional, elegant, as well as inexpensive standard mid tower. Two external 5.25 bays for the installation of an optical drive are available. At the top of the front, the I/O-panel is located, which offers 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x USB 2.0, as well as HD-audio-connectors. Appropriate peripheral devices can be connected quickly and easily from the front. The lower part of the front is dominated by the colored MESH-elements, which allow for a very effective cooling of the HDDs and the installed hardware. The ODD quick locks are either in red, green, blue, orange, or white, depending on the model.
The Power- and HDD-LED are located in the red strip at the top of the front. The Power-Button is located to the right of the USB connectors. A storage compartment is located in the front of the top cover. You can store and charge smartphones or MP3 players, using the easily available USB ports. The compartment can also be used for external hard drives or digital cameras.
The chassis of the KX is made from steel and is carefully painted matte black. The case is characterized by a valent processed steel chassis - carefully folded and deburred edges protect against cuts when installing the hardware.
Internally, the KX offers a HDD cage for two 3.5 inch drives. Another 3.5 inch drive can be mounted beneath the 5.25 inch bay. A dedicated 2.5 inch mounting space is located on the HDD wall of the case. Another 2.5 inch drive can be mounted on top of the 3.5 inch cage. The drives are secured with screws.
The KX features a ventilation system suited for this price level. Included is a rear mounted 120 mm fan, which helps removing the heat from the inside of the case. Another 120 mm fan can be mounted behind the front cover. The side panel offers two additional mounting spaces for 120 mm fans. The cooling performance of existing VGA cards and CPU coolers can be improved and optimized by installing fans in the side panel.
Due to the supply of fresh air via an optional mounted 120 mm front fan and the removal of the heated air through the pre-installed 120 mm fan at the back, a very effective ventilation system can be implemented, to which the air holes in the left side panel of the tower contribute considerably.
The KX is designed for all conventional ATX power supplies. The PSU is installed at the top of the rear panel. Seven PCI expansion slots are available at the back of the case. ATX and Micro ATX motherboards can be installed in the case.

text: Share: Comments Print January 15, 2015 at 2:06 PM Bills to raise minimum wage, require paid sick days introduced in Olympia Posted by Walker Orenstein OLYMPIA — Washington already has the highest minimum wage of any state in the country, but a packed hearing room at the Capitol was filled with supporters of a new minimum-wage bill saying it's just not high enough. "Income inequality is as bad as it has been since my grandmother was a small girl in 1929," said Rep. Jessyn Farrell, D-Seattle. "We know that we can do better than that." The bills sponsored by state Sen. Pramila Jayapal, D-Seattle, and Farrell would increase the hourly wage to $12 over the course of four years, starting in 2016. The current minimum wage in Washington is $9.47 per hour. The Seattle City Council and voters in SeaTac have already approved increases to $15 an hour. A long row of lawmakers stood behind speakers to illustrate the support for the measure. Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, was lauded for stepping across the aisle, as was Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, who is sponsoring another bill introduced by the group to set a minimum of paid sick days. Farrell said legislative action was the best way to approach the problem rather than a ballot measure. Almost 40 representatives have voiced approval for the minimum-wage bill. "We wanted to introduce it early so that we can have time to have a good dialogue with folks on both sides of the aisle," Farrell said. "There's no doubt there's a lot of momentum on this issue." A similar bill last year to increase the minimum wage to $12 an hour, phased in over three years, was never put to a vote in the House.

Inland Empire 's Ivan Preciado Creates Street Art Mural to Raise Health Awareness
Filed under: Visual Design
September 25, 2017
Ivan Preciado, who is working toward a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design at The Art Institute of California—Inland Empire, a campus of Argosy University, recently created a street art mural to raise awareness for mental and physical health.
Preciado has helped to create many murals, events, and projects in the Inland Empire region. He's been recognized the murals he created for the The Hard Rock Hotel, Wix, NBC Universal, Melrose Elementary School, many California breweries, and the City of San Francisco.
Preciado has also painted murals for The Art Institute of California—Inland Empire and The Art Institute of California—Orange County.
The University of Redlands, which created the initiative for raise awareness for mental and physical health, approached Preciado and asked him to work on a campaign that will spark the interest of students across Southern California. The piece was inspired by mental health and represents the releasing of toxic habits or causes that are harming physically.
Applications are being distributed to area schools so that the piece may travel and remain at a school for a specific period of time to raise awareness through each campus. It will move from school to school for 11 months, finishing on the University of Redlands campus.

Portakabin welcomes Wayne Cole to its leadership group as Head of Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
HSE continues to take precedence with the offsite specialist, with this new appointment bringing a new and innovative perspective to continuing the highest of standards.
Portakabin, the UK's market leader in offsite construction has appointed Wayne Cole as its new Head of Health, Safety and Environment. Wayne joins to deliver a world-class system for HSE across the company's European businesses in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
Amanda Stainton, HR Director for Portakabin comments: "We are taking a proactive approach to HSE with our people. While we already enjoy a positive HSE culture within the business, we want to pre-empt challenges and offer our employees innovative tools and processes."
Wayne comments: "Portakabin and I have the same aspirations; my will and desire to create a consistent culture of HSE is matched equally by their long term business goals. Ultimately, I'm responsible for achieving those goals as we move towards a more consistent approach across our European business."
He adds: "As HSE professionals, we need to be harder on ourselves; we have to strive to be right the first time and challenge each other to deliver better. Technology is offering more opportunities than ever meaning we can start to adapt methods of best practice to deliver better results. With Portakabin, I have the opportunity to engineer out the risk in many of the processes we use every day and deliver better buildings by doing so.

Derrick Rose's rape trial got underway in a Los Angeles courtroom Tuesday, and he was halfway across the country saying he planned to win the lawsuit.
Rose told reporters in Houston before the Knicks' 130-103 exhibition loss to the Rockets that he didn't settle the case, which seeks $21 million, because he looks forward to telling his version of the events.
"That's one of the reasons why I wanted to take it to court, because I didn't want to settle," Rose said. "I don't feel like I did anything wrong. If I go up there and just tell my side of the story, I think I'll be all right."
A lawyer for the ex-girlfriend who claims Rose and two friends gang raped her while she was incapacitated cried foul in court, saying Rose had violated the order of silence his own lawyer had sought to quiet the parties out of the courtroom.
Jury selection resumes Wednesday. No jurors were seated Tuesday.
SIMMONS HAS SURGERY The Philadelphia 76ers said that the No. 1 overall pick draft Ben Simmons had surgery to repair a broken bone in his right foot. Team officials said the surgery had taken place in New York. There was no timetable yet for Simmons's return.
SPARKS 95, SKY 75 Candace Parker scored 29 points as the Los Angeles Sparks beat the Chicago Sky in Rosemont, Illl., to advance to the W.N.B.A. finals.
Kristi Toliver added 21 points and Nneka Ogwumike had 17 points and 9 rebounds for the Sparks, who led by as many as 28 and won the semifinal series, 3-1. They will face the defending champion Minnesota Lynx in a best-of-five series for the league title.
Lester to Start Playoffs for Cubs
Jon Lester will start the Chicago Cubs' playoff opener. Manager Joe Maddon announced that he was going with Lester over Kyle Hendricks and the 2015 National League Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta in Game 1 of a division series against the Mets or the San Francisco Giants. The series opens at Wrigley Field on Friday, with the Cubs' sights set on their first World Series title since 1908.
Lester (19-5) was second in the majors to Hendricks with a 2.44 E.R.A. Hendricks (16-8, 2.13) will start Game 2 at home on Saturday. Arrieta (18-8, 3.10) will pitch Game 3 on the road, with John Lackey (11-8, 3.35) starting Game 4 if necessary.
Baylor's Title IX Official Resigns
The Title IX coordinator for Baylor has resigned over a disagreement in her role overseeing changes at the university after claims it mishandled sexual assault cases.
The university said in a statement that the coordinator, Patty Crawford, was "disappointed" in her role enacting recommendations by the law firm Pepper Hamilton. The firm determined that the university had mishandled rape allegations for years and that the football program operated as it if were above the rules.
Crawford was proud of what had been accomplished early on but was "also profoundly troubled by what she views as Baylor's efforts to impede her ability to fully perform her Title IX responsibilities," her lawyer, Rogge Dunn of Dallas, said in a statement.
KANSAS LINEMAN RETIRES Jordan Shelley-Smith, an offensive lineman for Kansas, has decided to retire from football because of repeated concussions. He is the second player in the Big 12 to make that decision this week, after Oklahoma linebacker Tay Evans called it quits on Monday.
Shelley-Smith had played few snaps after sustaining a concussion before the season. He also missed three games last season after sustaining a concussion against Oklahoma State.
New Charges Against Marinovich
Todd Marinovich, a former quarterback for the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles Raiders, is facing new drug charges after he was accused of trying to enter a stranger's home naked.
Prosecutors filed misdemeanor charges accusing Marinovich, 47, of trespassing, public nudity and possessing methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
The authorities said that Marinovich, who has struggled with drug problems, tried to open the sliding glass door of a home in Irvine, Calif., in August. The authorities said he left a bag containing meth, marijuana, drug gear, his wallet and his driver's license on a nearby hiking trail.
Nadal Breezes in Beijing
Rafael Nadal barreled through his opening match of the China Open as he sought to redeem his injury-blighted season with a strong run in Beijing. Nadal dropped just two games to the 39th-ranked Paolo Lorenzi, beating him by 6-1, 6-1 to reach the round of 16. Andy Murray, the top seed, booked his place in the second round with a 6-2, 7-5 win over Andreas Seppi.
Final Mission for Arnie's Army
Above from left, Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson and Phil Mickelson were among those at a service for Arnold Palmer on Tuesday in Palmer's hometown, Latrobe, Pa. Nearly 1,000 golf dignitaries from around the world attended the service, at the basilica at St. Vincent College, and about 4,000 others watched from across the college. Palmer's family had held a private funeral Thursday, but had asked that a public service be held after the Ryder Cup so no one would be left out in remembering Palmer, who died on Sept. 25 at 87.

Free evening parking will also be available in the Paul Street car park on these days from 6.30pm to midnight.
On-Street Parking
Commuters are also reminded that on-street parking is free of charge every Sunday.
The Lord Mayor, Councillor Catherine Clancy said "I am delighted with this initiative. I hope that the people of Cork will avail of this very welcome and insightful offer of free parking in light of what the city centre, businesses and residents have endured in the past couple of days"
Mr Tim Lucey, City Manager said "This further initiative to assist business in the city centre is further evidence of the City Councils strong commitment to creating favourable conditions for both business owners and customers to enjoy the diverse range of offerings across retailing, leisure and hospitality on offer in the city centre. The Councils soon to be published City Centre Strategy will also provide further opportunity for the Council and the many stakeholders in the city centre to work in partnership in furthering the conditions required to secure and build on the ongoing attractiveness and wellbeing of the city centre. I encourage people to avail of this free parking and come in to the city to support the businesses in the city who have showed great resilience in recent days and ensured the city is open for business as usual"

Hitler in 1941
On December 11, 1941, Adolf Hitler spoke to the Reichstag on the just-signed declaration of war against the U.S. The speech is almost fantastically long (over 9500 words in the English translation; probably somewhat over an hour of rapid speech), and I am discussing only a small part of it here.
What caught my eye was Mr. Hitler's attack on Franklin Roosevelt. He begins:
And yet there is something in common between us. Roosevelt took over a State in a very poor economic condition, and I took over a Reich faced with complete ruin, also thanks to Democracy. In the U.S.A. there were 13,000,000 unemployed, and in Germany 7,000,000 part-time workers. The finances of both States were in a bad way, and ordinary economic life could scarcely be maintained. A development then started in the U.S.A. and in the German Reich which will make it easy for posterity to pass a verdict on the correctness of the theories.
Note that Germany was "faced with complete ruin", but at least it did not have "unemployed". Of course, we know whose recovery effort will be more praised:
While an unprecedented revival of economic life, culture and art took place in Germany under National Socialist leadership within the space of a few years, President Roosevelt did not succeed in bringing about even the slightest improvements in his own country. And yet this work must have been much easier in the U.S.A. where there live scarcely 15 persons on a square kilometer, as against 140 in Germany. If such a country does not succeed in assuring economic prosperity, this must be a result either of the bad faith of its leaders in power, or of a total inefficiency on the part of the leading men. In scarcely five years, economic problems had been solved in Germany and unemployment had been overcome. During the same period, President Roosevelt had increased the State Debt of his country to an enormous extent, had decreased the value of the dollar, had brought about a further disintegration of economic life, without diminishing the unemployment figures. All this is not surprising if one bears in mind that the men he had called to support him, or rather, the men who had called him, belonged to the Jewish element, whose interests are all for disintegration and never for order. While speculation was being fought in National Socialist Germany, it thrived astoundingly under the Roosevelt regime.
[Emphasis mine.] Notice the emphasis on population density, and the assumption that land is wealth, which fits with the lebensraum policy. I am curious as to whether the section in boldface was a rhetorical trick for emphasis, or a simple slip of the tongue -- accidental singlethink, so to speak. The criticism of Jews and of "speculation", to the extent that it has any meaning, is probably best interpreted as an accusation that the New Deal was too corrupt and too capitalistic.
Roosevelt's New Deal legislation was all wrong: it was actually the biggest failure ever experienced by one man. There can be no doubt that a continuation of this economic policy would have done [in] this President in peace time, in spite of all his dialectical skill. In a European State he would surely have come eventually before a State Court on a charge of deliberate waste of the national wealth; and he would have scarcely escaped at the hands of a Civil Court, on a charge of criminal business methods.The characterization of the U.S. as a semi-criminal hinterland, explicit here, still informs the perceptions of many Europeans; even their ambassadors.
This fact was realized and fully appreciated also by many Americans including some of high standing. A threatening opposition was gathering over the head of this man. He guessed that the only salvation for him lay in diverting public attention from home to foreign policy. It is interesting to study in this connection the reports of the Polish Envoy in Washington, Potocki. He repeatedly points out that Roosevelt was fully aware of the danger threatening the card castle of his economic system with collapse, and that he was therefore urgently in need of a diversion in foreign policy. He was strengthened in this resolve by the Jews around him. Their Old Testament thirst for revenge thought to see in the U.S.A. an instrument for preparing a second "Purim" for the European nations which were becoming increasingly anti-Semitic. The full diabolical meanness of Jewry rallied round this man, and he stretched out his hands.We often employ this kind of rhetoric ourselves, directed at today's Arab dictatorships. (Well, minus the bit about the Jews.) It is almost surreal to see the direction so strikingly reversed.
Thus began the increasing efforts of the American President to create conflicts, to do everything to prevent conflicts from being peacefully solved. For years this man harboured one desire -- that a conflict should break out somewhere in the world. The most convenient place would be in Europe, where American economy could be committed to the cause of one of the belligerents in such a way that a political interconnection of interests would arise calculated slowly to bring America nearer such a conflict. This would thereby divert public interest from bankrupt economic policy at home towards foreign problems.Not just any war would do; it was necessary that England be "one of the belligerents." You would think the English would be rather upset with Mr. Roosevelt, who by this reasoning wasted their empire and their soldiery for domestic political gain. If only they had known who their real enemy was, they wouldn't have been so hard on Germany.
I have never been more glad that history is written by the winners.

The evolution of the "harvest machinery" : why capture capacity has continued to expand in Norwegian fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005)
Controlling the expansion of capture capacity has been a major challenge for the fisheries management systems around the North Atlantic. Despite focused attempts to reduce this capacity in recent years in different jurisdictions, it has continued to expand. This chapter uses a case study of changes in Norwegian fisheries to help explain why this has happened. The article supports the replacement of ...

This course provides an excellent and comprehensive introduction to Investment Management in an impressive timescale. Learners can feel the tangible benefit and knowledge of this course once they have taken it. Honour Tracks are an excellent way to challenge yourself to the core if you don't have a statistical background or a strong financial knowledge. I genuinely enjoyed the lectures and how the materials were distributed in an equal and light manner starting from knowing investor's types, how to allocate asset portfolios, types of investment techniques, and ending with how to choose your fund manager. My favourite parts was the least likely: the exams and quizzes parts. These were built in a way that educates and challenge to resolve and learn, but designed to be impossible. A profound pedagogical approach even in the quizzes and honour tracks. This course deserves nothing but the best rating. I recommend wholeheartedly.

SoundInSight is a spin-off company of the University of Twente. It focuses on the development of technical solutions to assist acoustic engineers to gain insight in their acoustic challenges and to solve them fast and efficiently.
SoundInSight develops state of the art acoustic measuring methods and equipment. Its first product, the SonoCat, measures sound absorption, sound intensity/power and sound transmission of any material on site. With the use of the SonoCat, you don't need to bring the material to the laboratory. Nor do you need to use an impedance tube, alpha-cabin or other measurement equipment that only determines the absorption coefficient for normal incident plane or spherical waves. The SonoCat can measure the effective absorption coefficient for complex shaped surfaces and can always be used, even for the most complex sound fields.
But that's not all. Based on the same patented method, SonoCat can also measure acoustic transmission and acoustic power. It can even work as a directional microphone. The SonoCat is currently available in small quantities. Full market introduction is estimated to take place in Q3, 2015.Visit website

Sonography uses high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to provide crucial medical insights. Cardiovascular sonographers specialize in the action of the heart (echocardiography). Sonographers operate ultrasound equipment to produce and record images of the motion, shape, and composition of blood, linings, and organ tissues to look for anomalies such as masses or fluid accumulations. They observe and care for patients throughout examinations to ensure their safety and comfort, then they provide sonogram images and oral or written summary of technical findings to physicians for use in a medical diagnosis.

When it comes to home decor, we can learn a lot from the French. Their effortless sophistication and eye-pleasing aesthetics makes a lot of us yearn for a slice of their style in our own properties. So, what's the secret? To find out how you can give your pad a little "je ne sais quoi" of its own, keep reading.
Don't be afraid to make statement
You only need to look at the Eiffel Tower to see that the French aren't afraid to make a statement – and neither should you be, particularly when it comes to picking out furniture. Instead of opting for pieces with clean, straight lines, go for furnishings with more character. For example, in your bedroom, why not opt for a French-inspired bed? As furniture specialists Crown French Furniture point out, this style of bed is perfect for adding a touch of glamour and elegance to your sleep space. Keep an eye out for intricately detailed pieces with carved edges and quilted headboards to get your look just right.
Stick with neutrals
When it comes to French-approved decor, bold, garish hues are a huge no-no. It's all about creating a calming environment, so stick with a neutral colour palette instead. For example, shades such as pure white or creamy vanilla are perfect to use as base colour. However, if you want to add a little personality to your spaces, you could also introduce a hint of colour into the mix, such as soothing grey, cool blue and warm beige. There are a variety of ways to incorporate your chosen colour throughout your home. For instance, you could go for a painted feature wall or add accessories in your chosen hue.
Keep it classy
From the clothes they wear to the delicacies they eat, there's no denying that the French know how to keep things classy. Their oh-so chic outlook on life is something that all of us could take note of – especially when it comes to decorating. For example, when you're picking out soft furnishings, forget bold, wacky prints and choose designs with subtle, sweet details instead. From intricately patterned rugs to lace-trimmed cushions, there are a whole host of gorgeous, French-inspired accessories you could include in your home.
Giving your property a little "ooh la la" doesn't have to be difficult, especially if you keep these three decor tips and tricks in mind.

Wildlife and Game Parks
Elephants passing in slow, stately groups, lions lazing under a tree in the noonday heat, shaggy mountain gorillas feeding in a clearing in the rain forest—these images instantly suggest Africa, which is famous around the world for the amount and variety of its wildlife. Yet the rapid growth of Africa's human population, accompanied by the use of ever more land for farming and other human activities, threatens many individual species and the future of Africa's wildlife in general.
African nations are working to protect their natural heritage by developing wildlife management plans and by setting land aside as national parks and game preserves. The most successful conservation efforts will probably be those that recognize the needs and desires of the African people as well as the need to protect animals.
African Mammals
Africa is home to an astonishing variety of mammals. The continent's herbivores, or plant-eating animals, range from elephants, rhinoceroses, and hippopotamuses to hoofed mammals, such as the giraffe and the African buffalo. Vast herds of grazing animals, such as zebras and wildebeests, roam the open plains and savannas. Africa's many varieties of antelope include the hartebeest, gnu or wildebeest, dik-dik, gazelle, impala, springbok, oryx, reedbuck, and eland, the largest antelope.
More than 60 species of carnivores, or flesh-eating mammals, prey on the herbivores and sometimes on smaller and weaker carnivores. In addition to hunting live animals, the carnivores devour carcasses. Africa is home to three kinds of large cats—lions, leopards, and cheetahs—and smaller felines such as the serval and wildcat. Wild dogs, jackals, foxes, hyenas, civets, and weasels are also predators.
Forty-five species of monkeys and two species of great apes, the chimpanzee and the gorilla, live in Africa. The continent also has many species of lemurs, small animals that belong to the primate family, like monkeys and apes. Most lemurs live in trees and are nocturnal, or active at night, although a few are active by day. The island of MADAGASCAR has the largest variety of lemurs in the world.
Some of the mammals that live in Africa are found nowhere else in the world. These include giraffes, hippopotamuses, jumping hares, and the long-snouted, insect-eating tenrecs of Madagascar. Another animal unique to Africa is the aardvark, a large nocturnal animal with a piglike body, long tail, rabbitlike ears, and a long snout. The aardvark rips open termite nests with its sharp claws, then uses its sticky almost one-footlong tongue to lap up the insects inside.
Bird, Reptile, and Marine Life
Nearly 2,000 species of birds spend at least part of each year in Africa. In addition to varieties of hawks, eagles, owls, larks, kingfishers, and other birds found elsewhere in the world, several bird species are native only to Africa. These include the ostrich, Africa's largest bird; the hammerkop, which resembles a heron; and touracos, birds with brightly colored feathers. Several species of small, drab birds are called honey guides because people follow them to honeybee nests.
A great many reptiles and amphibians creep, slither, or hop along Africa's varied terrain. Reptiles include lizards, tortoises, crocodiles, and many types of snakes. Some snakes, such as the mamba and the Egyptian cobra, are venomous enough to be dangerous to humans. Boa constrictors and iguanas live only on Madagascar. Among Africa's amphibians are various salamanders and frogs, including the bizarre hairy frog of CAMEROON.
Of the almost countless species of insects in Africa, several are regarded as pests. Locusts devour crops and other vegetation; mosquitoes carry malaria; and tsetse flies carry trypanosomiasis, or sleeping sickness, a disease that harms both humans and livestock. Other African insects include various species of large butterflies, dung beetles, stick insects that resemble twigs or leaves, driver or safari ants that travel in huge columns, and termites that cooperate to build tall earthen mounds. Spiders are plentiful everywhere.
A wide variety of marine life exists off the coasts of Africa, and the continent has more kinds of freshwater fish than any other—about 2,000 species. Some freshwater creatures are ancient varieties that have changed little over millions of years, such as lungfish, lobefins, and reedfish, which can breathe air. Certain types of African catfish not only breathe air but also move across land during rainy weather. Lake Nyasa alone has about 160 species of fish found nowhere else in the world. The waters of southern and eastern Africa harbor the coelacanth, an ancient form of fish thought to have been extinct for over 60 million years until one was caught in 1938. Other coelacanths have been discovered more recently.
Wildlife Preservation
Wildlife numbers have fallen in Africa since the widespread introduction of firearms in the mid-1800s. At first European hunters and colonists slaughtered large numbers of animals. However the greatest decline has come since the 1940s, due to hunting and habitat destruction by Africans. Some species have been affected more severely than others. The number of African elephants dropped from about two million in the early 1970s to around 600,000 by 1990, mainly as a result of illegal hunting for their ivory tusks. Rhinoceros and gorilla populations were dramatically reduced and the animals became endangered species. In the 1990s experts named Cameroon, CONGO (KINSHASA), and Madagascar as the countries in which wildlife species are most threatened.
Most African nations have taken steps to protect and preserve wildlife. One problem is that different countries disagree about how best to deal with the situation. Countries in northeastern and eastern Africa, for example, support a total ban on the IVORY TRADE to protect elephants, while those in southern Africa want a regulated ivory trade to continue.
Game Parks
Many African governments have established national parks and wildlife preserves, or game parks, as wilderness areas to be protected from human development. Colonial authorities in the early 1900s created the first parks to provide a safe haven for wildlife, a base for scientific study, and educational and recreational opportunities for both local people and visitors. The oldest of these is SOUTH AFRICA's Kruger National Park.
Africa's protected areas and parks vary greatly in number, size, and quality from country to country. Eastern and southern Africa are particularly well known for their wildlife parks. Tsavo in KENYA and Serengeti in TANZANIA are among the continent's largest and most famous parks. MALAWI, NAMIBIA, ZAMBIA, and ZIMBABWE also boast impressive preserves. However, few countries in western Africa have significant parks.
Several countries of northern Africa, including SUDAN, ALGERIA, MOROCCO, TUNISIA, EGYPT, and MAURITANIA, participated in international talks about preserving wildlife in the 1990s. Since then, they have begun setting aside new protected areas, developing training programs for park managers, and launching efforts to protect certain species, such as endangered seals. Government programs in Morocco have saved the macaco, or Barbary ape, from extinction in the forests of the Middle Atlas mountain range.
Not all of Africa's wildlife parks offer the same level of protection to animals and their habitats. Some governments have completely banned human presence or activity in parks, moving people away from homes that lie within park boundaries. In Tanzania alone, more than 50,000 people have been relocated from parks. Other governments allow people to live in protected areas, but prohibit the use of resources, such as firewood or pasture, inside the parks. Some preserves are designed for multiple use.
In addition to setting aside land, wildlife management in Africa includes efforts to preserve genetic diversity, which means keeping a wide variety of animals in populations large enough to reproduce healthy young. To accomplish this, authorities and park managers work to protect the ECOSYSTEMS in which plants and animals flourish. Although many of Africa's parks are in savannas and rain forests, new parks have been designed to protect areas such as mangrove swamps, deserts, and lakes.
Increasingly, governments and conservation experts are trying to balance the interests of animals and humans. They recognize that Africans will be more likely to protect wildlife if they see the economic benefits of preservation. TOURISM is one source of benefits. However, while wildlife tourism produces significant income for Africans in a few areas, in most regions much of the profit goes to overseas tour operators. Wildlife managers are seeking ways to share that profit with local Africans. At Amboseli National Park in Kenya, people who traditionally used the parkland have been granted a share of the park's profit. Such systems may help stop illegal hunting and farming on park lands.

As it seeks to decrease its non-office property holdings, Chicago-based Trizec Properties Inc. on Thursday said it sold a retail and entertainment development in Pasadena, Calif., for $113.5 million.
Trizec unloads Calif. complex
Ohio-based Developers Diversified Realty Corp., in partnership with New York-based Lehman Bros., bought the 565,000-square-foot development of retail stores, restaurants and condominiums.
In a statement, Trizec President and CEO Timothy Callahan said the sale of Paseo Colorado, which the company spent $90 million to develop in late 2001, is "consistent with Trizec's strategy to focus on its core office business."
The company has paid a heavy price for some misadventures outside the office market. Chief among them is its $540-million investment in a Hollywood shopping and entertainment project that includes the Kodak Theatre, home of the Academy Awards. A slump in tourism contributed to the project's disappointing returns, and Trizec has written down the value of its investment to $198 million (Crain's, Jan. 6).
Another thorn in its side is the Desert Passage shopping mall, built next to the Aladdin Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The project was hurt by the Aladdin's bankruptcy, and Trizec has written down its original $290 million investment to $207 million.
The company aims to sell both properties, but must wait until their finances are more stable, analysts say.
The No. 2 U.S. office real estate investment trust, which recently relocated its headquarters to Chicago from New York, owns and manages 72 office properties totaling 49 million square feet. Its local holdings include the 110-story Sears Tower.
Shares of Trizec were down 39 cents, or 3.8%, to $9.66 in midday trading Thursday.

Just read Mrs Laidlaw's Event Horizon. Congratulations. Clever to use the black hole both as symbol of terminal hopelessness and as a relativistic justification for the time-reversed narrative. I have long been an advocate for imagining time-reversals as a consciousness-raising exercise. I suppose this was stimulated when people began to be able to run films backwards (and probably to be able to do the same with early piano rolls and phonographs). Cocteau used it very effectively in a short sequence in one of his films, I don't personally know any earlier example, but have not looked. before this recent age, where technologies have actually allowed time-reversed perceptions of events and processes, perhaps musicians were best-placed to imagine backwards flow of time, since musical notation allows scanning with almost equal ease in either temporal direction. Reading a narrative backwards is much more cumbersome, and breaks down within sentences, which must be read forwards due to syntactical restraints on comprehension. whilst in London I had for a while the use of a 4-track recording studio which allowed reversal. music sounds odd to our ears because of the reversed note envelopes, but leaving that aside what struck me was the way Bach sounded quite similar in either direction. Mozart, on the other hand, becomes very angst-ridden and emotionally unresolved. this prompted unwritten speculations on some tenuous link between musical aesthetics and the second law of thermodynamics. I leave aside the most interesting side of all this, i.e. life, death, consciousness, the nature of time, the unknown "Kantian" substrate of the sensuous universe. I shall also leave aside the emotional content, although i suppose a crucial critical inquiry would be how this narrative technique conditions the reader's perception of the brutality Mrs L experiences at the hands of her violent (Scots) patriarchetypes, Mr R and Mr L. to conclude, despite the brevity of this response, I know it is sometimes encouraging when others take a relatively enlightened interest in one's creative work, so I felt it worth taking the time to use a little more than the customary 140 characters to respond to your prize-winning short story. I wish you all the best with your future narrative explorations/constructions.
