In the same time-frame but a different context, Alberto Cottica's resignation post talks of the difficult interface between bureaucracies and networks.
"Kublai's story seems to be representative of a tough problem in public policy: administrations find it hard to manage the interface with the online communities they collaborate with – even if they originate them ." He talks of the mismatch between Weber bureaucracies and web-based networks.
This mismatch is usefully seen within the Cynefin framework as the need to move between the complicated domain and the complex domain.
Lee Clarke discusses the interface in 'Worst Cases'. He doesn't use Cynefin, but the mapping is pretty clear:
"Concentrated, high-technology systems are more prone to catastrophic failures than others. Charles Perrow's book 'Normal Accidents' shows that many of our most dangerous technologies actually require centralized organizations to function properly. Nuclear power plants, for example, simply can't be run by anything other than a highly secretive bureaucracy that's utterly dependent on expert knowledge. That's fine when everything is going well, but when things start to go badly people in highly centralized organizations have a hard time recovering from cascading failures, they have a hard time learning from their mistakes, and society has a hard time looking inside of them to regulate them properly.
An estimated five hundred thousand people left Manhattan on 9/11 in one of the largest water-borne evacuations in history. How did that happen? Barges, fishing boats, pleasure boats, ferries, all manner of watercraft carried people to safety. It wasn't driven by an official plan. No one was in charge. Ordinary people, though terrified, boarded the vessels in an orderly way.As a rescue system, it was flexible, decentralized, and massively effective.
What does this mean we ought to do? It means we should eschew the centralization of disaster resources in large bureaucracies. Such centralization actually increases vulnerabilities, because centralization is more likely to create systems that don't fail gracefully. It means officials should see the public as an asset in disaster planning and response, rather than as a hindrance. People can generally handle bad news if they believe they are being dealt with honestly and with fealty. It means that local citizens groups should be involved in setting policies. Above all, it means that important choices should be made in a more open and transparent manner. This will necessarily entail inefficiencies and irrationalities, but that is of little consequence in the larger scheme of things.
I'm recommending that we foster preemptive resilience. "
Amanda Ripley has stressed the value of some training for the ordinary citizen rather than putting all training effort into specialist emergency services.
Another viewpoint, compatible with Cynefin, is the Competing Values Framework. Value Based Management.net gives a good summary .
Competing values and reforming public management (.pdf) by the Work Foundation introduces the Competing Values Framework (with some unnecessary modification) in a public management context and has a helpful discussion of UK public sector reforms using the framework.
The government-network interface is between the inward-looking control oriented Internal Process values and the outward-looking adhocracy of Open Systems. These fundamentally different value sets are at the root of issues around 'Big Society' and much else.
Several of the Fukushima resources have been built using social networking technology aimed at supporting people during a crisis. For example, a general site for people developing crisis-related internet resources is http://www.crisismappers.net/ and Google have developed http://www.google.com/crisisresponse/ . Example sites related to crowdsourcing Fukushima-related information include:
- Radiation readings on maps: http://community.pachube.com/node/611 and http://japan.failedrobot.com/ and http://www.rdtn.org/ http://www.alttokyo.com/tokyo-radiation-2/ and http://www.ustream.tv/channel/geiger-counter-tokyo and http://radiationnetwork.com/ .
- Wikis http://wiki.crisiscommons.org/wiki/Honshu_Quake and http://jpquake.wikispaces.com/ .
- A portal http://tasukeaijapan.jp/.
Optimistic update: There have always been government hierarchies with operating procedures that can cope with complexity. For example.
If you think that reporting during incidents should be left to 'professionals' and crowdsourcing might be irresponsible, try this.
Second optimistic update: the story of safecast is well worth reading.
Patrice Cloutier has a good piece called Capability Based Planning: the Canadian perspective and my reaction.
Great graphic from Gerald Baron. (Click on it to see it properly).
And last of all as usual, the end-user. Chief Bill Boyd has an excellent blog.

If you haven't been, they're in Lowell, MA in the historic mill district. Their building is a treasure of a place, and huge! It's now home to dozens of artist studios, a musicians' studio and music school, a restaurant, their entire company, a yarn shop, and more. This is several city blocks' worth of interconnected real estate with an 1890's feeling. Really amazing. Their "Hub Mills" yarn shop is chock full of their yarns as well as several other very high-end brands making for shopper heaven. I particularly loved the cashmere display with 6 shelves of cubbies! I could have died happy just with the shopping.
On to the office of Betsy Perry, the President and sole owner of CEY. She is a cheerfully dynamic woman, and welcomed me warmly into her office. Her office has huge windows original to the historic building forming one wall, making for a spacious, naturally lit workspace. Well-placed industrial antiques and turn-of-the-century knitting accessories gave the otherwise efficient room a clear personality and purpose. We visited about Lowell and her company for a few minutes before getting down to work.
I showed some sketches of patterns for their recently-added Verde Collection of eco-friendly yarns, and Betsy was very supportive. We decided to work on a project together with a long ramp-up period. And then it happened.
Judy, an employee charged with trunk show and designer management responsibilities, brought in the fall color cards for Woodland and Chesapeake (limited color cards below). OMG! Woodland is a DK wool with nettles, a natural moth and bug retardant. It's soft with a slight halo, and a faintly marled color absorption. It comes in cozy, cottage-y colors that are heavenly. Chesapeake is a worsted 50/50 blend of cotton and merino in richly saturated colors with a distinct marle. With its high cotton content, it exhibits excellent stitch definition.

It's an abundance of riches to have so many exciting yarns in wonderful colors at hand. Where to start? After some deliberation I realized I can start anywhere. It's all that good.

A captive insurance company, or just "Captive", is formed by a business owner to insure the risks of affiliated businesses. A Captive lets a business manage its risks while at the same time potentially providing a lot of benefits, such as cash flow, access to the reinsurance market, risk retention and management, estate planning benefits and more.
The premiums received by the Captive are invested and not "lost" as if they were paid to an unrelated insurer. The premiums accumulate over time and are available to pay for business risk losses which are self-insured, thereby avoiding a negative impact to the business's bottom line.
Captives provide an opportunity to insure against risks that are generally self-insured, uninsurable or too difficult to insure due to the lack of coverage available in the commercial market or the high cost. With a Captive, self-insured risk can be converted into tax-deductible premiums that are paid into a privately held and licensed insurance company. Risks can now be addressed with this pre-tax nest cash you're holding on to. It's important that a client realize that the Captive is a licensed insurance company and that claims have to be expected. Thus, commercial insurance must be maintained for certain risks the Captive should not insure because the possibility of catastrophic loss is too high, or the number and types of claims pose a significant risk.
While Captives provide a great amount of benefits, there are a lot of things to consider before going down that road: The appropriate type of Captive, the appropriate jurisdiction, size and much more, not to mention the licenses, new bank accounts, and other regulatory and legal procedures involved.
Fortunately, Garza & Harris are experts when it comes to implementing captive insurance companies and positioning them to make the most out of your pre-tax dollars, plus keeping more money in your pocket. We'll take care of the whole time-sensitive process, and dive into deep analysis in order to choose and customize the right Captive for you.
Captive insurance companies provide many business and tax planning opportunities, including the ability to obtain commercially unavailable or commercially unaffordable risks and an income tax deduction for premiums paid. Despite the benefits of creating a Captive insurance company, it's important to recognize the risks and responsibilities that accompany them. A refusal to follow the requirements in creating a Captive would be a costly mistake. Although you'll incur administrative costs in the implementation and maintenance of a Captive, its substantial benefits outweigh those costs. Plus, Captives can be an invaluable tool for business and estate planning. A profitable Captive can even transfer wealth to future generations where a trust for the benefit of the client's spouse or descendants owns the Captive.

Lister Concept Could be the Next Big Hypercar
In the 1950s, if you wanted to go fast on a racetrack, you raced a Lister. The racing firm and its legendary Lister-Jaguars took wins from the big boys like true underdogs and captivated sports car racing for nearly a decade.Then the small company shut its doors for many years, emerging once again in 1995 and, most recently, for a second time late last year to release its limited run "Knobbly." But it looks like Lister is planning on sticking around – there's a new hypercar coming. RELATED: Check out photos of the legendary 1959 Lister Chevrolet
And this is it, at least in its early stages. The reborn Lister Motor Company has announced plans to hitch up in the low-volume hypercar business with this new eponymous concept. As you can tell, it's a long way off from a finished product, which is why the firm is looking for investors to turn this 200 mph dream into reality.
"We are currently seeking external investors that have the desire to join us on what promises to be an incredible journey, because if we proceed with our ambitious plans, it is fundamental that the entire project is sufficiently resourced in order to deliver a serious, world-beating new product."
PHOTOS: The Rezvani Beast hypercar is an Ariel Atom in a Tuxedo
Lawrence Whittaker, managing director of Lister Cars, confirmed that the new hypercar would cost somewhere in the region of £2 million ($3.2 million), which is frankly a lot of money for a car that isn't a Ferrari, McLaren, Pagani, or any other high-dollar exotic.
Then again, tiny upstarts like Rezvani and Trion are giving it a try, so why not a heritage racer like Lister? In its first year back from the grave, Lister's sales have already grossed over $4.8 million on its retro-racing "Knobbly" anniversary car (seen above). That ought to help front the bills for a little while.

Assessment of hydration status is complex and difficult to achieve. Few assessment methods have been validated to accurately measure the fluid compartments in the body, but they have little application in practice. Different techniques have been developed to determine hydration status for the use in clinical settings, but their diagnostic accuracy remains questionable. Since many experts argue that there is no 'gold-standard' technique and one can never be achieved, this paper describes both, the benefits and limitations of the available methods and their usability in assessing hydration status of the elderly.

Canada's government is clearly uninterested in finding innovative solutions to gun violence. Check out this article originally posted on the CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/gun-violence-1.4641769
The federal government has finally accepted what cities have been complaining about for years: we're not doing enough to tackle gun violence.
Last month, Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale convened a summit on gun and gang violence — bringing together law enforcement, medical professionals, gun control and gun rights activists, Indigenous communities and community activists — all in hopes of finding innovative ways to reduce gun violence.
But when the government introduced Bill C-71, which amends the Firearms Act to enhance background checks, record-keeping and changes the ways the RCMP can classify firearms, it became abundantly clear that the government has again decided to rest on its law enforcement-heavy laurels. It's doing the same thing as always, and hoping for better results.

Darlington Civic Theatre is a beautiful Edwardian building with a magical history, and so it was excellent news for the town when in March 2016 it received a £4.5m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for renovations, improvement and expansion. The theatre has now rebranded as Darlington Hippodrome – as it was originally called – and will be a tremendous asset to the town. Tarnside supported the dynamic team at 'the Hipp' as they planned and undertook trust and foundation applications, and secured the support of key people locally.

How to Do the Full Boat Pose in Yoga
Explore this Article Performing the Pose Modifying the Pose Questions & Answers Related Articles References
There are 11 references cited in this article, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
Full Boat Pose (navasana in Sanskrit) is a great yoga pose for strengthening the abdominal and hip muscles. It is a challenging pose but also a beneficial one, because it builds core strength, stability, and awareness of posture.[1] There are several modifications and variations that can help you work up to the full pose over time.
Part 1
Performing the Pose
1Sit on your yoga mat with your legs straight out in front of you. Be sure you have left at least a foot or two of space behind you. Balance your weight between your sitting bones and your tailbone.[2]
2Press your hands on the floor just behind your hips, leaning slightly back.[3] Flex your feet toward your body. Lift your sternum, and don't round your back.
3Bend your knees while exhaling. Lift your legs so that your thighs are at about a 45 degree angle to the floor. Lean back so that your torso, too, is at about a 45 degree angle to the floor. The angle between your torso and your legs will be about 90 degrees. Straighten your legs slowly, taking the bend out of the knees to the degree that is possible for you. [4]
4Stretch your arms along your legs, parallel to the floor. Reach out through your fingers. If you can't do this, hold on to your thighs or rest your hands lightly on the floor by your hips.
5Remain in the pose, breathing steadily, for between ten second and one minute. Don't strain yourself by trying to stay in the pose for too long; stop before you are unable to maintain good form. Try staying in the pose for 1-2 full breaths at first, slowly working up to ten breaths.
6Come out of the pose with control. Lower your legs slowly to the ground and return to a sitting position. Use your hands on the floor for extra support.
Part 2
Modifying the Pose
1Keep your knees bent with your shins parallel to the floor. This is known as "Half Boat Pose," and makes your abdominal, hip, and thigh muscles do somewhat less work. Keep your back straight, just as in Full Boat Pose.
- This may be an appropriate modification during pregnancy.[7]
2Do Boat Pose with a partner. Sit across from your partner, face to face. You should both have your knees bent and your feet resting flat on the floor. Then, rock back on your hips so that your upper body is leaning back slightly and your core is engaged, and wait for your partner to do the same. You and your partner will now both straighten your legs and lift them at a 45° angle so that your feet are touching sole to sole. Reach out and grab hold of each other's wrists for support.[8]
- This partner pose is a great way to strengthen your core and legs.
3Use a strap if you find it difficult to straighten your legs. Loop the strap around the soles of your feet and hold the ends in your hands. Keep the strap taut as you push your feet firmly against it.[9]
4Rest the back of your head against a wall. Performing this pose near a wall on which you can rest your head may make it easier to practice this pose if you have a sensitive neck.[10]
5Clasp your hands behind your head. Lower your torso and your legs, so that the angle between them is about 45 degrees. This is known as "Low Boat Pose."
EXPERT TIPEllen East
- Try alternating, slowly and with control, between Full and Low Boat Poses, without bringing either your feet or your back fully to the ground. Do this 8-10 times for an excellent, dynamic core workout.[11]
Yoga Studio Owner & Instructor
Ellen East, yoga instructor, tells us: "You can also try "row boat" by coming into half boat, then bringing your knees into your chest and pushing them out again. Repeat 10 times for a great ab workout."
Community Q&A
QuestionHow long does it take to achieve boat pose?E MediCommunity AnswerIt depends on how flexible you are. Work up to everything you try, and remember everyone is different. Always stretch before trying anything, and keep in mind you might not be able to do it straight away. Certain moves allow you to do a certain pose and ease you into it. This is a great thing to try as you also learn new poses.
QuestionIs this particularly difficult for women with curved buttocks?Community AnswerNo, not at all! You just have to work hard and get your body adjusted to the position.
- Get advice from your yoga teacher or doctor before trying this pose while pregnant or if you have a neck injury.
- If you feel sharp pain or sudden shortness of breath, come out of the pose. Boat Pose should be challenging and tiring, but not painful or overwhelming.

Traditional answer sheet evaluation process has many activities to be completed in order to declare result. Checkout below steps to simplify answer script evaluation.
Here is short video about Onscreen Marking System
1.Collection of Physical Answer Sheets at Central Location
Examination is conducted across multiple locations. All the physical copies of the answer sheet should be collected at the secure central location for further processing.
2.Masking of Student Identity/ Roll No/ Name from Answer Sheet
Examination Answer sheets should be masked before further processing. Identity of the student should be hidden from the examiner to allow fair evaluation.
In traditional process each answer sheet first page content is added with some white paper masking to hide roll no and other details of the student.
In some of the cases universities have also started using answer sheet with bar codes printed on it. Bar code number is matched with student roll no to avoid identity of the student being disclosed.
3.Inviting Examiners for Answersheet Checking
Examiners are invited at the secure location to evaluate answer sheets. Manual process involves logistical activities and cost of travel of the examiners at the central location.
Examiners are supposed to complete answer sheet evaluation process in certain time-frame. Due to lack of process and analytics, it is difficult to check progress of the answer sheet evaluation.
Software technology can help to eliminate such steps. Onscreen evaluation can eliminate examiner travelling to the central location. Onscreen evaluation can be enabled on certain IP addresses so that examiners can check answer sheets from their home/ institute.
4.Re-masking Answer sheets for Moderation Process
After first level of answer sheet evaluation, there is need of moderation process.
Certain percentage of answer sheets are re evaluated by the moderator. So masking of the annotations for physical copy of the answer sheet should be done. It is manual process where person need to hide marks assigned by the first examiner.
Technology like Onscreen Evaluation can help eliminate this process. During onscreen evaluation, student details and mark annotations are automatically masked during moderation process.
5.First Level Moderation
Moderator need to re evaluate answer sheet. After re evaluation, as per rules and regulations of the university, maximum score of the 2 evaluations can be considered as final marks obtained by the student.
Using Onscreen Evaluation is is easy to monitor and assign final marks as software can automatically define rules related to moderation and final score calculations.
6.Second Level Moderation if Needed
Certain percentage of answer sheets can be kept for second level moderation. In such case remasking of the answer sheet is to be done to mask marks allotted by first examiner and first moderator.
Onscreen evaluation process can easily mask such entries without any need of manual masking process.
7.Result Compilation
Each examiner is supposed to calculate total marks obtained by the candidate. All the criteria related to compulsory questions, optional questions.
Onscreen evaluation system is able to compile result automatically. Manual calculations are prevented so it results in accuracy in result calculations.
8.Result Feeding in the Software System
After manual process of answer sheet checking is completed, all the marks for each subject/ Roll No/ Students should be entered in the system.
Onscreen evaluation process has result module which can generate result in excel instantly. It can be feed in any software system for mark-sheet printing activity.
9.Student Request for Scan Copy of checked Answer Sheet
Student has authority/ right to ask for scan copy of the checked answer sheet.
In traditional process someone need to get physical copy of the answer sheet, scan and photocopy it and then it is issued to the student. It involves manual work and many logistical activities.
Onscreen Evaluation can simplify it so that student request can be managed using software.
Student would get link to view evaluated answer sheet. This link would be active for specific time duration for viewing. Entire activity and cost of scanning, handling physical answer sheet can be eliminated.

At its Unpacked event today in New York City, Samsung announced Samsung Pay will launch in the U.S. on Sept. 28, and the mobile payment feature is already signed on to join the Visa Digital Enablement Program (VDEP).
The program enables issuers and technology companies to access the Visa Token Service (VTS), which Samsung will use to offer secure mobile payments to Visa cardholders, the company said in a statement.
"Samsung Pay is now one more way consumers can make secure payments based on tokens – technology that is quickly becoming the standard for safe mobile payments," Jim McCarthy, Executive Vice President of Innovation and Strategic Partnerships at Visa, said in a company release. "Similar to how Samsung Pay is reaching mass merchant acceptance on Day 1, VDEP is making it easy and cost-effective for payment providers, financial institutions and technology companies like Samsung to take full advantage of token technology and bring secure mobile payments to consumers everywhere."
Visa is using its VDEP and VTS technologies and programs to help its clients and partners manage the increasing shift from plastic to digital within the payments industry.
VDEP is designed to provide access to Visa's secure token technology, which supports a turn-key commercial framework without pass through fees and the need for complex contractual agreements and integrations.
For each and every new token requester that wants access to Visa and its 14,000 FI members and their billions of accountholders, McCarthy told MPD CEO Karen Webster in a recent interview that VDEP provides a consistent, universal framework to leverage. FIs and other payments service providers no longer need to negotiate individual agreements with each other.
Not only will that simplify and accelerate mobile and digital commerce for players like Samsung Pay, McCarthy said, but it will benefit the hundreds of innovators that want to bind payments credentials to any device connected to the Internet – cars, wearables, appliances, clothing, you name it — to solve a problem for a consumer and a merchant.
By becoming a part of VDEP, Samsung will position itself to be able to scale its mobile payment offering and ultimately ensure Samsung Pay is available to consumers around the world, Visa confirmed.
"As we launch Samsung Pay, we are proud to have Visa as a Day 1 partner," said InJong Rhee, EVP of Samsung Electronics, Global Head of Samsung Pay. "Visa Digital Enablement Program allows financial institutions to easily offer Samsung Pay, a secure and easy-to-use mobile payment service that can be used to make purchases nearly anywhere cards are accepted."
Latest Insights:
Our data and analytics team has developed a number of creative methodologies and frameworks that measure and benchmark the innovation that's reshaping the payments and commerce ecosystem. In the December 2019 Mobile Card App Adoption Study, PYMNTS surveyed 2,000 U.S. consumers for a reveal of the four most compelling features apps must have to engage users and drive greater adoption.

Early promise fades as Wexford bow out
GAA Eirgrid Leinster U-20 Football Championship Round Three: Dublin 1-15 Wexford 0-11
First-half promise faded rapidly at Innovate Wexford Park on Saturday when the county Under-20 footballers departed from the inaugural Eirgrid Leinster championship after their second loss in three games.
Dublin preserved their one hundred per cent Group 1 record by comfortably outscoring the home side by 1-10 to 0-3 when wind assisted in the second-half, and that ensured a pre-knockout exit for Wexford who needed a victory themselves and a favourable outcome elsewhere to stay in the hunt.
With Westmeath beating Longford by 1-16 to 1-10 at the same time, it meant that scoring difference would have applied if the young Slaneysiders had triumphed and forced a three-way tie on four points apiece.
As it transpired though, calculators weren't required as the Dubs advanced straight to the last four on six points, while Westmeath's haul of four granted them a quarter-final berth.
While there was justifiable anger and frustration over Wexford being denied the services of Senior-tied trio Eoin Porter, Barry O'Connor and Martin O'Connor, in hindsight the big regret will be the very slow start in Mullingar in round one when the visitors fought back from a 1-10 to 1-2 interval deficit but ultimately came up short by 2-12 to 1-12.
As well as those three big guns, the losers were without injured duo Peter Barry and Sam Wall, plus Luke Sinnott who had featured in the previous two rounds.
They did quite well though after captain Darragh Lyons won the toss and opted to avail of the wind first, even if their half-time lead of 0-8 to 0-5 didn't look sufficient.
And there was no denying the stand-out moment of that opening period, as it was provided by very promising goalkeeper Ivan Meegan in the 27th minute.
Not alone did he get on the scoresheet for the third game running, but he was also the leading marksman overall for the losers with four points.
And, to the best of my knowledge, I think he became the first Wexford netminder ever to score from play in any code when he played a one-two with a defender close to his own goal leading up to half-time before embarking on a long solo down the middle of the field.
As he approached the 45-metre line at the town end, he wrong-footed the nearest Dublin challenger before taking aim with that accurate left foot of his and planted a sublime point that energised the small crowd.
That brilliant piece of individual flair pushed Wexford clear by 0-8 to 0-4, with a James Doran free leaving Dublin one goal in arrears at half-time.
Midfielder Richie Waters had kicked the first two points, both created by Jamie Myler, in the fourth and tenth minutes, with Dan O'Brien and Cormac Howley on target for Dublin in between.
Kyle Firman converted from long range after Darragh Lyons broke the kick-out following the second score from Waters, before Ronan Devereux picked out Seán Nolan to make it 4-2 in the twelfth minute.
Ross McGarry pulled one back before Cathal Devereux kicked a fine brace of points off his left peg, and a booming free off the ground from just inside the 65-metre line by Ivan Meegan stretched the advantage to 7-3.
McGarry again responded for Dublin, and we were then treated to that Meegan magic from play before he drilled another free to the right of the posts for one of Wexford's six wides before the break.
The visitors didn't waste any time in pushing on with the wind in their favour on the re-start, and they were level by the 37th minute after points from captain Seán Bugler, a fine solo effort by wing-back Seán Farrelly, and a low shot by James Doran that clipped the heels of a colleague on its way over the bar.
Cormac Howley quickly gave them the lead for the first time, but there was some relief from the pressure in the 40th minute when Meegan converted a free after a foul on Richie Waters (0-9 each).
A Donal Ryan mark from the kick-out started a move that featured Seán Bugler and Ciarán Smith before Ross McGarry was pulled down by Meegan, but Dan O'Brien wasted the penalty by firing high and over the bar.
The miss offered hope to Wexford, although Meegan drove their sole second-half wide from a 50-metre free before a strong Dylan Furlong run ended with substitute John Dunne feeding Kyle Firman to kick the leveller (0-10 each).
Dublin didn't help themselves with a second-half wide count of nine, and 14 in all, but they pounced for the game's big score in the 47th minute after pushing up to force an error from a Wexford kick-out.
Dan O'Brien and James Doran combined before Ross McGarry palmed the ball to the net, and Wexford were outscored by 0-5 to 0-1 from that stage onwards.
Lively substitute Tom Keane pointed three times in eight minutes before Meegan kicked what amounted to a consolation from a free.
And he showed his shot-stopping capabilities in added time, making two excellent saves from Ciarán Archer and Keane to keep the Dubs' winning margin down as Keane and Doran added late points.
A speculative effort from Jamie Myler was comfortably saved by David O'Hanlon at the death and, with just one point scored from play in the second-half, Wexford's early promise didn't last the course to the frustration of their hard-working young backroom team.

I'm still trying to reduce stash which includes getting rid of smaller remnants of fabric. You know, when you cut the piece you intended to make, and are left with a piece that is too big to throw away but to small to sew the same thing again? Those. I had some irregular pieces of stripey jersey left and remembered seeing a stripey shrug on some goth fashion blog. So I made one for myself using the instructions from NatronundSoda (sorry German instruction):
Now the leftovers were even smaller. But I was keen on not giving up and Neisella gave the final idea on what to do with the rest: A jersey miniskirt! The back is about 3cm longer than the front (something that HandM designers tend to forget, my butt is bigger than my front) otherwise the pattern is a simple rectangle. And I'm not making Beetlejuice references, although the fabric might scream for it! ^^

Australia coach Eddie Jones tonight praised his men for a defensive performance that put New Zealand under the kind of pressure they have not been used to in this tournament.
The Wallabies took the initiative from the off and, after hitting New Zealand with a sucker punch when the All Blacks could have taken the lead, hardly allowed the tournament favourites a sniff.
It was a performance that ensured Australia became the first nation, never mind first defending champions, ever to appear in consecutive World Cup finals.
"Our defence in the World Cup has been pretty good. We managed to foil their go-forward runners and I am reasonably pleased with the defence," said Jones.
"We played well tonight. Every individual played well, we put the bits and pieces together to beat a very good New Zealand side.
"The guys implemented the gameplan very well, they made adjustments, they made decisions and credit to the players for playing a great game."
Jones has born the brunt of media criticism that grew as the tournament went on, but he always said the Wallabies were moving in the right direction.
Tonight, with the way his men executed the gameplan, Jones was delighted to see the progress being made is tangible.
"We played well. We have got some space for improvement. Next week we will need to improve," he said.
"We have been really happy with the preparation. I said all along we were moving in the right direction."
Jones also paid tribute to the All Blacks, who will return home to a furore after a second straight World Cup semi-final defeat.
But they are Tri-Nations champions, Bledisloe Cup holders and Jones believes they have set the mark for all other teams over the last six months.
"We have learnt a lot from New Zealand this year," he said.
"New Zealand set the standard for world rugby. They played with width rhythm, tempo.
"The scoreboard this season still reads 2-1. We were good enough tonight, but don't lose sight of the fact that New Zealand have set the standards."
Fly-half Stephen Larkham, who was singled out for praise by Jones for tactical decisions, said: "We identified they might be weak up the middle. We made less errors than in previous weeks and we just want to keep on improving."
Of his fly-half, Jones said: "I thought Stevie was absolutely outstanding. He read their defensive patterns very well and shifted the ball wide very well. That's probably his best World Cup performance."
Stirling Mortlock enjoyed a storming game before leaving the field with cramps that were down to a lack of game-time following the shoulder surgery that kept him out of the Tri-Nations.
"Tonight he showed the running skill that has made him such a good player," said Jones.
Wallaby prop Ben Darwin, who was stretchered from the field after being caught in a collapsed scrum, has recovered full movement of his limbs but has been taken to a Sydney hospital for precautionary X-rays.
The Wallabies totted up a lengthy injury toll during the game, with Mortlock, Gregan, Sharpe and Brendan Cannon all in the wars.
It was too early for Jones to tell the extent of most of the knocks.
"At this stage we are a little unaware of how we are placed injury-wise," he said.
New Zealand coach John Mitchell insisted his team were not "chokers" after they had blown their World Cup dream once more, and vowed not to resign.
He said: "We didn't choke at all. That's just a bit of a buzz-word that goes around. We just got beaten by the better team. They won the inches and were forceful in the breakdown. Our execution was poor and we did not deserve victory.
"I'm very disappointed but the effort we put in was huge, things didn't go for us. But these things can happen in a career and we've got to get over it.
"We tried to come back but our execution of skill in the carry and the tackle was not good. A lot of slow ball ends up being no ball. We were stopped from playing and you've got to give Australia credit for that."
Mortlock put the Aussies on the way with a runaway 80-metres touchdown after he had intercepted a wild pass from New Zealand fly-half Carlos Spencer.
All Blacks captain Reuben Thorne responded with a try but Elton Flatley's five penalty goals and a conversion saw Australia comfortably home.
There was no sign, however, of Mitchell contemplating life without the All Blacks.
"I love coaching. They are a fantastic group and there is no hint of me handing in my resignation or anything like that," he said.
"That's up to my employers and the person they want to take New Zealand rugby forward in 2004. I'm accountable for this team and that performance. There are no excuses. We didn't get it right tonight. I feel sorry for the fans in New Zealand but we feel twice as bad."
Scrum-half Justin Marshall sustained a damaged rib cartilage and Kees Meeuws a calf injury and both are out of the third place play-off on Thursday.
Mitchell, however, insisted his side will prepare properly for what is a largely meaningless match.
"It's part of this tournament and we have got to get over this disappointment," said Mitchell. "Our attitude will have to be 100% on Thursday."

I have decided to write this blog post,because I am getting pretty much fed up with explaining things to people about how my situation is and defending my choices and actions. Really..
If you have been giving this link by me,there is a reasonably large chance that I think it was easier for you to read this, rather than once again type everything out. However, there is also the chance that I just wanted to share you with this because I value your opinion, or you are a friend. And of course there is my score of normal blog readers.
Since I do not want to end up with Repetitive Strain Injury or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and hate repeating myself, please allow me to explain how this all works and fits together:
Our infrastructure may be somewhat different than what you are used to. You may find this silly, covalent, but the truth of the matter is, the situation is how it is and while perhaps this may change in the nearby future, right now that is not an option. So your opinion about this is duly noted and filed away with the same due care and attention that I plan to give it. In case you need a clue; this means pretty much none whatsoever.
So let me explain how the typical British infrastructure with regards to telephone line works:
Anything inside the home, is my problem. This starts at what is called the master box, which is where the telephone line from the outside terminates inside of house.
The whole infrastructure belongs to British Telecom (or BT for short and from here on out). This is due to historical reasons. Now when the market opened BT needed to split this off and leashed the actual care and maintenance to their subsidiary called BT OpenReach. Pretty much de facto, they own the telephone poles, the lines, the switches and the exchanges and the land those exchanges are standing on.
BT OpenReach has to allow others access to their infrastructure to have a fair market and with this I mean other telephone companies and Internet service and access providers. However we are not allowed (by law) to mess with the outside phone lines or the master-control box.
For this an BT OpenReach engineer needs to be booked, and they are ferociously expensive. You are talking roughly about £ 130,- as a call out charge and about £ 60-70,- for the first hour. And they prefer tea and biscuits.
So for those saying that it should be fixed sooner; unless you are willing to pay me the money to get a BT OpenReach engineer out, per directly with priority; please understand this:
At the moment, my ISP is asking me to perform some rudimentary test because we need to find out where exactly the problem is. This is in some ways hindered by the fact that a large part of my wiring is either seriously out of date (you are talking about 20+ years old and for those in the know, I have an LTJ 2/1A master control box instead of NTE5) and possibly illegally placed to boot.
Add to that that the line is laying across a neighbours roof. There is a very large chance an OpenReach engineer will take one look at it and decide that this is not correct and rewires the whole lot and charge me for the privilege of doing so. Which in turn means that I need to rewire half of my telephone lines.
Considering the economic climate (it is now officially called a triple dip recession), I hope you really do not mind that I first try and exhaust all the possible tests my ISP gives me before I get to the point of shelling out the money. Again, if you are not paying for this, you get your opinion but that is about all.
For those saying that I need to actually demand my money back, I think the old Internet adage really applies: IANAL (I am not a lawyer), but some people really say I should be one and could be a good one; so let me explain a little bit how Terms of Services (TOS from here on) in these cases are usually worded.
It is not a stretch of the imagination that; that the TOS has something among the lines that creates the obligation of the ISP to provide me with an Internet connection. Now considering that most of the time I actually get an IPv4 route-able Internet address I am sure that their lawyers could be argue the case that that part of their obligation is fulfilled and that while they had hoped to give me a faster speed over my line, they are not contractually obliged to do so and as things stand it is a best effort only. The only thing my contract actually says that I am allowed unlimited usage, without a fair usage policy. There is nothing saying that that unlimited means I have to have a serious fast speed.
Then there is of course the argument that I should just change Internet providers. Sadly, most of us here are tied in 12 or 24 month contracts initially. This is so the Internet providers can ensure that they have a reasonable return on investment in what by no doubt is a highly competitive market. Yes, you can get rolling contracts that are month by month but the downside is you pay for that (ie the monthly fee is much higher). Plus my ISP allows me to make world wide calls for pretty much next to nothing. And that is something that most other providers don't offer. So changing the service is really not an option at this point.
So yes, my Internet is extremely slow. Yes it is extremely annoying. Yes, I wish it was fixed and, yes I am taking steps to fix the situation. But those steps take time and money.
So please bear with me and please excuse this rant, it's just been one of these days but sometimes I get tired of typing the same thing over and over and over and over again. And you should all know me, if my Internet was fixed I would be the first to scream out in pleasure so you all could hear.
Please excuse my rant posting …
regular blogging shall now commence

Obamas First Foreign Policy Challenge: Create New International Standards to Resolve The Israeli-Palestinian Dispute
"For where no law is, there is no transgression" —Romans 4:15
President Obama's most immediate foreign policy challenge is to determine how to deal with the recent Israeli action in Gaza, and with the broader conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians. Israel's partial-withdrawal from Gaza appears to have been timed to coincide with President Obama's inauguration, rather than to answer any of Israel's security concerns. Clear international standards for resolving intra-state group conflicts are required if the longest-standing problem in the Middle East is ever to be resolved.
The continued ethnic violence within Israeli jurisdiction begs the question: what exactly is the status of Palestinians who reside within so-called Occupied Palestinian Territories? Numerous international legal instruments have recognized the right of the Palestinians to self-determination. However, despite the publication of President Bush's so-called Road Map for Peace, there remains ambiguity about the procedure by which Palestinians may obtain self-determination. The delay in implementing the Road Map has contributed to the cycle of Hamas-sponsored rocket attacks against Israel, and the retaliatory Israeli invasion of Gaza, which has produced yet another round of violence.
While the application of international law is no panacea, nor an excuse for unlimited intrusion into a state's sovereignty, what is beyond doubt is that the uncertain legal status of Palestinian residents makes continued violence in Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem likely. The Israeli attack on Gaza is an example of what happens in the absence of an international forum that can assist states to implement their human rights obligations.
A brief review of history helps us to understand the confusing legal status of the Palestinians. Israel was established shortly after the end of the Second World War, with the support of the victorious Western Allies, as well as a majority the United Nations' (UN) General Assembly, which in its Resolution 181 proposed a partition plan for the region. Currently, the "Quartet" (Russia, the U.S., the European Union, and the UN) plays an important mediating role for the area.
Early international efforts in the region proposed that Jews and Palestinians live together within a single state called Palestine. For example, the 1917 Declaration by the British Foreign Secretary and former Prime Minister Arthur Balfour, together with the Mandate for Palestine (24 July 1922), envisaged both groups being placed under the jurisdiction of a single state. It was not until 1937 that a British Royal Commission of Inquiry (the Peel Commission) concluded that it was necessary to sunder Jews and Palestinians into separate states. This was deemed necessary to prevent Palestinian opposition to the increasing Jewish migration from igniting inter-group violence. UN Resolution 181 (1947) authorized a partition of the region into separate Jewish (Israel) and Arab (Palestine) states. Partition, or the so-called "two-state solution," remains the goal of multiple UN Resolutions (181, 242, 338, & 3236), as well as the Camp David Accords (1978), the Oslo Accords (1993), and the current Road map for Peace.
Unfortunately, international law has failed to establish a procedure for qualified groups to pursue statehood. Although the UN Charter and two international human rights treaties provide for the right to self-determination, no international remedy exists to realize such claims. Peoples that exist under alien domination are trapped within what human rights jurists describe as the "iron cage" of the domestic state laws which subjugate them. A central idea of human rights is that individuals should have the ability to appeal to a regional or international adjudication body for relief denied them by their host states. The lack of such a remedy, combined with the failure of current international initiatives, has stalled the realization of Palestinian statehood.
Enhancing the jurisdiction of treaty monitoring bodies such as the UN Human Rights Committee (HRC) will help states to understand their treaty obligations with regard to internal groups that jurists term "peoples" and, therefore, qualified for self-determination. This is because adjudicative procedures offered by the HRC help ensure protection for ethnic, religious, national, and linguistic groups. At this time, the HRC does not take up claims for self-determination.
Thus far, nations have achieved statehood in only carefully prescribed situations. Some examples include European states created out of empires controlled by defeated Central and Axis powers after WWI and WWII; the grant of independence to the African, Asian, and Caribbean colonies by the European powers ending the colonial era in the decades after WWII; the emergence of independent states from long-standing federations after 1990, 15 in the case of the Soviet Union in 1990-1991, and six in the case of Yugoslavia; and UN-supervised paths to independence for subjugated provinces, namely East Timor (formerly part of Indonesia) in 2002 and Kosovo (formerly part of Serbia) in 2008.
The Palestinians' current legal existence is statu nascedi, meaning that they are at the beginning of a process that is leading to statehood. However, self-determination is not necessarily co-terminus with statehood, and may be achieved through a variety of means that protect group autonomy. The preferred type of self-determination, i.e. autonomy or statehood, is a question decided by the group itself. Palestinians can realize their right to self-determination in either of the single-state or two-state forms.
The plan to disassociate Israelis and Palestinians into separate states raises another theoretical question, namely, should international bodies incorporate new states based upon the national, ethnic, religious, or linguistic identity of a single group?
The classic formula of nationalism, to make "every nation a state and every state a nation," results in what the Minorities Section Director of the League of Nations, P. de Arcarate, described as an international "crisis." This is because the world contains 3,000-8,000 ethnic groups living in 192 UN member-states. How do international organizations go about determining which of these human communities are deserving of statehood?
The League of Nations' Mandate for Palestine proposed that Israelis and Palestinians live together within a single, bi-national state. The Mandate established a Jewish national home located within Palestine with self-governing institutions while guaranteeing the civil, political, and cultural rights of Palestinians, as well as other minority groups. Moreover, even in present-day Israel, Arabic is an official language alongside Hebrew, bearing testimony to the state's bi-national character. However, the Mandate's single-state solution never received much support from Israelis or Palestinians, and now languishes in obscurity in most of the international discourse.
Given the historic failures of partition, it is surprising that most Israelis and most Palestinians prefer separation over integration. For example, the partition of India (Hindu) to create Pakistan (Islamic) produced inter-group violence which continues to this day. Witness the recent terror attacks in Mumbai.
Furthermore, a partition of the region will be no simple matter, given the dispersion of Israelis within Occupied Palestinian Territory. Although Israel withdrew from its settlements in Gaza several years ago, it has long encouraged settlement in both the West Bank and East Jerusalem. We must remember that Palestinians reside in non-contiguous areas, namely, the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem. As a result, Israelis and Palestinians are inter-dispersed, creating an obstacle to partition and separation.
Resolution of the Middle East conflict necessarily requires that international and regional powers complete the process that began with the post-WWII establishment of Israel. That is, a political framework must be created either for Israelis and Palestinians to live together, or to separate them. The lack of an international forum that could oversee this process has prevented the creation of a Palestinian state. Clearly, both Israelis and Palestinians are unable to resolve the conflict in the absence of international participation.
The international Quartet has an obligation to assist the Palestinians to realize their right to self-determination in a responsible fashion, by creating such a forum. It is to be hoped that President Obama will encourage new international standards on self-determination that will assist Israelis and Palestinians to recognize each other in an atmosphere characterized by what legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin describes as equal concern and respect.

Frederick Douglass, John Brown, and the Virtues of ImpracticalityBy NOEL IGNATIEV
DEC 19-JAN 20 | Field Notes
In a lengthy review in the New Yorker of David W. Blights recent book, Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom,1 Adam Gopnik calls Douglass the progenitor of the pragmatic-progressive strain in American thought that led to Martin Luther King and Barack Obama.2 Douglass is an attractive figure, and it is easy to understand why he fills the need of American mainstream thought for a Black political hero now that George Washington Carver (the one Black figure in the textbooks when I went to grade school) no longer serves. But the notion of pragmatic progressive suggests an alternative tradition, which we might call impractical revolutionary. Nat Turner, John Brown, and Malcolm X come to mind as exemplars.

Fascia Iliaca Blocks for older people with hip fracture
To develop a toolkit of resources facilitating Fascia Ilaica Block (FIB) as a method of pain management in hip fracture.
- To assist in the practical application of effective pain management as referred to in the Minimum Standards for Hip Fracture;
- To reduce the harm arising from overuse of opiate medications;
- To provide a method of implementing application of the procedure.
A toolkit including guide, video, implementation approach, and audit tool has been developed and implemented at St Vincent's Hospital and modified for statewide implementation at sites where there is sufficient local governance to support such a procedure and approach.
The objectives of the toolkit are to:
- To provide the tools and resources to enable the use of fascia iliaca block (FIB) as an analgesic option for patients with acute hip fracture.
- To ensure patients with suspected or confirmed acute hip fracture are provided with safe and effective pre-operative pain relief.
The material is located on the ACI website at: http://www.aci.health.nsw.gov.au/resources/aged-health/hip-fracture/fascia-iliaca-block
St Vincent's Hospital Pain Service had begun a process of using FIBs as the preferred method of pain management for older people admitted with suspected or confirmed hip fractures to minimise the incidence of delirium and harm before and after surgery.
Many supporting tools and resources were developed as part of this project. St Vincent's Hospital approached the ACI as it felt that there was relevance to other hospitals wishing to pursue this technique, and duplication of effort would be avoided if the materials were supported through an ACI process.
A Steering Committee was convened and has overseen the development of the resources to ensure alignment with evidence, current practice, variation in service design and staffing, and applicability across the state. A statewide consultation process has been undertaken and documents have now been finalised on the ACI website. A feedback sheet is included in the toolkit facilitating ongoing modification and review.
