National Curriculum for England
Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) - Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) is a highly reputable membership organization that, in the UK, requires schools to have been inspected by an independent agency (usually ISI, aside from Ofsted reports) as a condition of membership. In the case of schools outside of the UK, member schools are required to have been inspected by a legitimate inspectorate or accreditation organisation (ie ISI, CIS etc) or to have been inspected by a trained inspector (ISI-trained or Ofsted-trained). Although attentive readers will know we are often skeptical of so-called "Ofsted-trained inspectors" (since outside of the UK there is no guarantee the person under contract has any such qualifications) or their reports (which- no matter how expert and well-trained the inspector, other countries are not required by law to keep in the original form, and schools may feel perfectly free to delete unattractive sections or add in glowing bits about themselves), we do believe one can rely on both inspectors and reports in this case (and in the school's less likely inclination to corrupt said reports), because IAPS eyeballs the reports themselves as part of that condition for membership. If the report does not pass muster or no inspection report exists, IAPS conduct their own thorough Diagnostic Review Visit (largely with ISI-trained inspectors), and that report then goes before the IAPS Membership committee for approval. Therefore schools coming out the other side can be said to have been well and properly inspected. IAPS "is also seeking to agree arrangements for regular re-inspections, so that it can ensure accreditation standards are maintained on an on-going basis". This should ensure schools keep their socks up to stay in IAPS' good books.

text: AFP - Saturday, June 23 02:50 pm LONDON (AFP) - Baby Autumn Brown has a name to live up - in fact she has over 25 of them. Her full name, which left register office staff in Perton, Wolverhampton reeling is: Autumn Sullivan Corbett Fitzsimmons Jeffries Hart Burns Johnson Willard Dempsey Tunney Schmeling Sharkey Carnera Baer Braddock Louis Charles Walcott Marciano Patterson Johansson Liston Clay Frazier Foreman Brown. Maria told the city's Express and Star: "The whole thing came about because both my mum and dad are obsessed with boxing and have a bit of a daft sense of humour. "When I was young I couldn't ever remember my name. It took me to the age of 10 to memorise it all." The 33-year-old mother added: "I'm hoping Autumn has a good sense of humour with her name. It's never done me any harm though." (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20070623/tod-lifestyle-britain-names-7f81b96.html)

GPS Tracker mistaken for Explosive Device
Not all flashing lights and batter packs end up being an explosive device. In this article from WSBT in Elkhart, IN an evacuation due to a bomb scare took place when an employee from an industrial supply company mistook a GPS tracker that is used for shipments. The employee saw the package had a battery pack and blinking lights so he sprung into action and threw it in a nearby ditch. This story has light humor but the employee should have just left it alone and notified the proper authorities after evacuating the area. read the full story here

Maybe if I post from iPad it will let me. Hihi!! Love you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha! Yaaaaaaay. LOVE ya!Delete
My guess is that simply recalling things you are happy about frequently has about the same effect as recalling things you are grateful for. I'm surprised none of those studies you cited attempted to disprove that. After all, things people are grateful for are often things that people are happy about and it's absolutely intuitive that if you recall things you're happy about a lot you'll be a happier person. If, however, they were indeed able to show that recalling things we're grateful for is more helpful than merely recalling things we are happy about, that would be a pretty significant discovery.ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha. Yeah, I was also thinking about that as I was clearly writing a list of things that made me feel happy (not necessarily grateful).Delete
I do think they use "happy about" and "grateful for" interchangeably. The main idea, as I interpret it, is to actually write those down so you have a record of how great life is. (Because I, at least, lose sight of that when going through a rough patch.)

Celebration time after the Jacksonville Armada salvaged a draw from the jaws of defeat Wednesday?
Not for head coach Mark Lowry.
Shaky shooting early means finishes that are too close for comfort.
"I feel like it every game," Lowry said. "We do everything right, but we don't score goals."
The Armada coach sees an area for improvement, a big one, as the club prepares for its North American Soccer League spring season finale Saturday night against the Indy Eleven in Indianapolis.
Ranked third in the NASL, Jacksonville's attack is dominating games of late. It's just not winning them.
"We definitely think we should've won the last two games," forward Derek Gebhard said regarding the Armada's draws with Puerto Rico FC during the past week.
The Armada held overwhelming possession edges in both meetings, 66 percent last Saturday and 62 percent Wednesday, and outshot their foes 12-5 in the more recent clash.
But they came back with just two draws instead of two wins.
"If we don't capitalize on our chances in the areas that we get into, that's what's going to happen," Lowry said.
That breeds its own concerns.
With goals in short supply, he's concerned that the team might start pressing too hard. Lowry said he saw signs of that on Wednesday from players like top-scoring midfielder Zach Steinberger, who hasn't scored since May 28.
"He's trying to make something happen, maybe a little bit too much, and overdoing it at times," Lowry said. "But you can't knock his effort, and his work rate's tremendous."
In the last month, the Armada's actual scoring feats have been reduced to a one-man band. Apart from Gebhard, no other Armada player has scored for exactly 400 minutes.
That goal occurred in the Armada's last trip to the Midwest, a 4-1 road rout of Indy on June 10 that ranks as the highest-scoring road victory in franchise history.
"We're not going in there with any misconceptions that the same thing will happen that happened last time," Steinberger said.
After starting the year with a seemingly interminable string of six draws, Indy is unbeaten in its last four games.
They've picked up the pace behind one player who doesn't struggle to find the net: striker Justin Braun, who ranks third in the NASL with seven goals.
Once the final whistle blows Saturday, the Armada players might be able to get their scoring woes out of their system. They'll have about four days of free time before returning to train for the NASL fall season, which starts on July 30.
"It's very much needed, I think, for everyone involved, even the coaching staff," Steinberger said. "It's good to get away, take a couple of days and spend time with family."

Colorado Springs, Colorado (PRWEB) July 07, 2015
Fagor Automation, an international strategic partner of Diversified Machine Systems (DMS), a designer and manufacturer of 3 & 5 Axis CNC Routers and Large Format Machining Centers, announces new upgrades to the Fagor 8055 control system.
Now, DMS customers with existing Fagor 8055 Plus Systems can improve their CNC performance and Turbo Charge their ROI by upgrading to the new Fagor 8055 Power CPU System. These upgrades improve overall performance and finish quality, while reducing required cycle time in most of the applications.
The new Fagor 8055 Power CPU System increases block processing speed and offers advanced block look-ahead functions that are far superior to those on the older system. One of the exceptional upgrade features is the Advanced Jerk Control Mode. This function creates a smooth and gradual acceleration, as opposed to sudden speed changes, which leads to machine stress and mechanical vibrations. With the latest in advanced tuning algorithms, customers can boost machining productivity considerably, resulting in faster cycle times and better part finish. The enhanced user interface incorporates a new ergonomic screen layout and color design that utilizes softer pastel colors, which helps visual fatigue and improves operator concentration.

The DOD's Modus Operandi (M.O.) – Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC
The DOD lied to the public and local, state, and federal regulators and congress; withheld records; covered-up deaths that were the result of the contamination at Camp Lejeune; and forced the ATSDR to suppress information about the contamination, health problems, and deaths which were the direct result of the contamination at Camp Lejeune. The sad thing is this happened at almost every one of the 148 DOD facilities that are or were Superfund Sites.

Central Government shifts for a strong Centre-State bondage.
The Central government has announced its agenda of a strong and efficient "Cooperative federalism." The Centre's net tax receipts would go up by Rs.1,78,000 crore in 2015-16. This will be more than 45% than the financial year. The Fourteenth finance commission (FFC) headed by Y.V.Reddy recommended for 42% share to states in the division of centre's net taxes. This is a shift from a grant-based central government to devolution-based one. This would bring a new importance to states to improve their state's finances and would lead for a better growth; this decision made many Telanganites and the people of Telangana a relief.

Orange County Support for Proposition 15 California Fair Elections Act
by Chris Prevatt •
Since 2000, over $1 billion has been raised by California politicians, buying special interests unprecedented access but shutting out the rest of us. That's why polls show nearly three out of four voters want to change the way elections in California are financed. "The California Fair Elections Act will be a big win for California's citizens,†said Irvine Mayor Pro Tem Larry Agran. "In the seven states that have fair elections systems, legislators were able to pass good laws to benefit their constituents instead of spending half their time raising money for the next campaign. The California Fair Elections Act will put Sacramento back to work for California.â€

Since late March (2014) I've been talking to this girl (sort of new). We met through mutual friends, but we don't know how we even started talking to each other. Everything was going well, almost perfect. We talked everyday but never really met up one on one (date). But around early May, we hung out one on one before she went on vacation out of the country for about ~month. While she was out of the country we still kept in touch everyday. Once she came back (early June) we started hanging out more and going on dates (1-2 times a week). Everything was going picture perfect, we talked everyday and both of us knew we were interested in each other. We tried to keep all of this on the DL from our mutual friends, not that we were hiding anything but we both just thought if they find out they find out, we don't need to tell them. So everything was going great until the end of June, when we had sort of a serious talk about what's going on between us. We both agreed that we were "dating" (getting to know each other) but not in a relationship (boyfriend/girlfriend). After that talk, she brought up that one of our mutual friends wanted to talk to her about me. This mutual friend of ours has known me for about ~6 years and has seen what I'm like in my last relationship (about 3 years ago). It wasn't the best of me, I was stressed and not happy in that relationship hence why the worst of me came out. And the girl I'm talking to knew this about me, but as people are finding out about us they kept wanting to meet up with her about talk to her about me. So around the end of June, we had a talk and she said we should stop talking for a while, stop what is/was happening and just be friends for now. She said she wants to know me from a "friend perspective" first since we weren't really friends to start out with. But I told her the best was the know if the person you see in front of you is the real me you need to spend you know one on one time but she just went on sa
Continue to pursue her? Don't give up? Confused? Don't really know what to do here?
saying that she shouldn't be talking/dating someone right now because she has goals that she wanted to achieve. But my thing is, why even start if you knew this already? We still talk (every other day or so, maybe less)... what should I do?

The Wachowski siblings will forever be known for redefining science fiction with the first Matrix movie (and somewhat the less than satisfying sequels). However, some of their recent movies have been so ambitious that it sets their fans up for disappointment. This happens to many revolutionary directors. After all George Lucas gave us the original Star Wars films, but he also gave us the Star Wars prequels. Ridley Scott gave us Alien, but he also gave us Prometheus. The Wachowski's have been trying bold new science fiction ideas that have fallen flat. Cloud Atlas is an example of a great idea that was not well received. Honestly Cloud Atlas was a beautiful, we made (and well edited) film, that doesn't get its due credit. Hopefully they can get back to the basics with their upcoming Sense8 TV show for Netflix. This is an original film, so let's give them credit for being original in a world filled with nothing but sequels and remakes. But with Jupiter Ascending, they clearly dropped the ball.
The film is about normal everyday immigrant Jupiter Jones. Jupiter wakes up everyday hating her life, but how full and boring it is. She spends her days waking up early to go to work cleaning up houses in Chicago as a maid and is completely boring. On the other side of the galaxy, there is the House of Abrasax, a royal family that own planets for the purpose of "harvesting" them (and killing millions of the planets inhabitants) to produce a youth serum that is the rarest commodity in the universe, and therefore the biggest industry. Slowly it is revealed that Jupiter is a genetic match for the matriarch of the family who has died. Within the galactic culture, if someone has the same genes as a royal, they are the reincarnation of that royal. Basically Jupiter is the reincarnation of the queen of earth.
This doesn't sit well with the 3 siblings of the House of Abrasax. They each want Earth because of the economic value of the planet and the financial gain they will have when it will be harvested/destroyed. Each of the siblings needs Jupiter to sign over rights to earth, so they each try to get to her. Each of the siblings deploys their own resources to get Jupiter.
Enter Caine Wise (played by Channing Tatum), a "genetic splice" half-albino and with both wolf and human DNA who goes to track her on earth. He is an ex-military warrior, who serves as her protector during the events of the film. Throughout the film, he has these "space boots," and a laser shield which he uses on multiple occasions to help Jupiter get out of different perils. He is assisted (sometimes) by Stinger Apini (played by Sean Bean) who served in the military with Caine, and is now exiled to earth.
As Jupiter is finally kidnapped and sent across the galaxy, it's up to Caine to save the day. During that time, Jupiter is courted by each of the siblings. Through that exposition, she learns that she is the queen of earth. One sibling Kalique Abrasax tries to court her through friendship. The other Titus Abrasax tries to court her through marriage (even though she's supposed to be his mother reincarnated). The third will stop at nothing to kill her to gain his inheritance back. It becomes a race to save Jupiter from these three siblings. By the end of the film, Jupiter understands her importance in the universe, the audience gets their climactic battle, and then the Earth is saved.
What Worked:
Once again, this is an original idea. The movie worked very well in the concept of "world building." Jupiter is essentially the audience. She is thrown into a world where humans exist throughout the galaxy. This is also a world where humans are "spliced" with other animals and exhibit characteristics of those animals. In addition to Channing Tatum's "wolf boy," there are characters spliced with deer, bees, and many others. The bad guy's armies consist of talking dragons, and there are also E.T. type aliens also. At first this seems "weird," but after both Jupiter and the audience get past that fact, it works for the movie.
The idea that humans are not only on Earth is another interesting topic. This worked very well in the Stargate television series: the idea that humans have been "seeded" throughout the galaxy is always an interesting concept. This movie takes the idea, and spins it on its head. Humans were created, only to be recycled after 10,000 years to become a youth serum commodity that the super rich can enjoy.
As always the Wachowskis are on top of their game when it comes to special effects. The CGI and action is impressive, and it's a beautifully shot film. The final climax of the film redeems some of its shortfalls because it works well. The dragon army and cyborgs are believable, so the special effects budget was worth the effort.
What Didn't Work:
Once complaint is that the movie will have a moment or two of pretty good action, and then the story comes to a grinding halt, so that Jupiter (the audience) can get a massive exposition dump. In a movie with such spectacle, to then spend 20 minutes of talking can suck the life out of the film. This would have been better served if the audience was treated to some sort of flashback to explain the importance of the industry (perhaps to show a world that was destroyed and then harvested for the serum) as well as the genetic reincarnation, as opposed to explaining it in a boring fashion.
Bees can detect royalty. That's probably one of the worst explanations as to why Jupiter was queen. So would the Queen of England not get stung by bees?!? It just made no sense to include that in the movie.
It's hard to believe that Eddie Redmayne might get the Oscar for Best Actor this year for The Theory of Everything after seeing this movie. He plays the eldest sibling Balem Abrasax. One moment his character speaks in whispers (where you can't understand him in a Godfather style) and without a beat screams at the top of his lungs. Not since Gary Oldman in The Fifth Element has an actor needed to dial it down in regards to chewing up the scenery. There were times where audience members actually jumped when he screamed at the top of his lungs out of nowhere, when the scene didn't call for it. It made some audience members actually chuckle.
Speaking of funny: there was no comedy in the film. This film was in bad need of a balance of serious to funny. It needed a moment or two to lighten it up, and there was no comedy at all. The moments where it tried a joke or two, it fell flat. Jupiter's family bickering at the dinner table did not work in the movie at all.
For all the world building the movie tried to do, it did little for character development. There's probably going to be a Director's Cut on the DVD/Blu Ray release that'll have an hour of additional footage, it almost has to. The movie feels like there are chunks missing. For example, the first sibling that Jupiter meets completely disappears from the movie without ever resolving that conflict, as well as the second sibling. Speaking of the second sibling, it got real weird when he wanted to marry his reincarnated mother for the purpose of securing the rights of work in a real Game of Thrones incenstual way.
Jupiter was miscast. Mila Kunis is probably a great actress, but she seemed to be phoning it in. The movie might have worked better if there was a difference and stronger actress in the role. For what it's worth, Channing Tatum did a pretty good job playing the Han Solo character, as did Sean bean. However Jupiter pretty much just played the "damsel in distress" role. Even when it was her time to act like "the queen" and embrace her role in the universe, it fell flat.
Overall, this was a valiant effort on the part of the Wachowskis. But this is a movie that can wait for Redbox or when it shows up on cable tv.

The Bible and the Future by Anthony Hoekema
Anthony Hoekema's trilogy of theology books: Created in God's Image, Saved by Grace, and The Bible and the Future rank as some of the most important books I've ever read. Over the past three years I've slowly read all of them. In many respects they are not easy reads, I mean, it took me three years! However, Hoekema's depth of knowledge and even-mindedness is so enthralling that they are not "hard reads" either. They are life-changing books. And The Bible and the Future is no exception.
Hoekema's The Bible and the Future is broken into two main sections: Inaugurated Eschatology and Future Eschatology. In the former section Hoekema explains (most notably) the concepts of the Kingdom of God and the "here and not yet." Regardless of one's eschatological leanings, grasping these concepts is necessary for a proper understanding of the entire Bible. In the beginning of section two, Hoekema discusses more specific end-time subjects such as: death, immortality, the expectation of the second coming, the signs of the times. As Hoekema moves towards the latter third of the book, he then introduces the all-important discussion of differing millennial viewpoints. Hoekema is an amillennialist. He throughly explains this position and defends it against other positions (most notably against dispensational premillennialism). And it is this amillennial explanation and defense that comprises the last several chapters of the book.
Having read The Bible and the Future, I'm convinced that a balanced amillennialist viewpoint does more justice to the Biblical record than any other view. However, I also understand the underpinnings of the other millennial viewpoints more thoroughly than I used to. Disagree with Hoekema? Fine! But you should still read this book because it will make you a better (read more Biblical) premillennialist or postmillennialist. Finally, if you've ever doubted the reliability of many of the popular end-time books in your local Christian bookstore, then you should definitely check out the balanced exegesis of Anthony Hoekema.

All 16 players were enrolled into schools with their school fees and daily clothing requirements covered by Volkswagen AG for a 3 year period. The initial concept was to enroll all the children in one school; however due to location, age and family requests the children were enrolled at Prince Edward School (one boy), Admiral Tait (two boys), Allan Wilson Technical School (one boy) and Churchill School (12 boys). The aim of the program is to give all the children equal opportunities, developing them not only as football players but also as educated young men. The children have made good progress in their new schools, in spite of the fact that the education standards have been much higher than many of the rural schools they attended previously If you are interested in supporting the Volkswagen Junior Masters scholarship program through the donation of funds, clothes, and sporting goods, please contact Ingo Boehm on firstname.lastname@example.com for further information on how you can improve the boy's daily lives.

Previously on Survivor, there are three idols, some thought Jessica was a threat, Taylor blew up Adam's secret advantage, but due in part to his food theft, Taylor was voted out.
So when I think about these last two episodes, I think I need to consider them in parts. First, why did Chris lose? The answer is simple enough: He was outplayed by Jessica and to a lesser extent, David. Having both those two target him made it difficult for him to find out the truth, that he was also a target. That assumption, that he was safe, was his biggest mistake.
The first hour of the episode had a delightfully cut together sequence of people discussing Jay's idol that was the first of many fun moments. Chris even played it well here, as did Hannah, pretending they hadn't already heard about the idol. But Jay played it even better, correctly realizing at Tribal Council that he wasn't really a target due to the not-really-faked animosity.
Sure, the plan, to get him paranoid, was a good one, but they didn't really do it well. It's a tough balance, but it's hard to control that many people to lie about it. There was also a clear delineation of what Hannah would call "trust clusters," which led to another cute moment when she giggled at Jeff Probst using her invented term. There was a little seed of a Hannah/Ken connection, which hasn't yet paid off, so we'll see on that one.
At this point the first "cluster" was Chris, Bret, Sunday, and Jay while the other side had Jessica, Adam, Hannah, Zeke, Ken, and Will. In there were other sub-alliances of Chris/Bret/Sunday, Hannah/Zeke/Adam, and Jessica/Ken/Dave with a few other floating tendrils. Of course, the Chris one ended and Zeke eventually switched things up.
The episode also showed two serious emotional scenes, one from Adam about his mother, and the other from Dave about his "journey." It's one good way to make sure we care about all these people. Another note was that several people were noting that Zeke was playing the best, yet these people were not in the Chris/Bret/Sunday cluster. Which led to how things shook up next.
Survivor: Ponderosa 3
– Watch what happens when the latest cast-off from Survivor: Millennials Vs. Gen X heads to Ponderosa to join the rest of the jury and reflect on their experience.
The second hour got even crazier, so I'll first answer this question: Why did Jessica lose? Two mistakes, really. She put herself at risk by drawing rocks instead of voting out Hannah, sure, but the other mistake was letting Adam convince Dave to put his idol on Ken. That's harder, but they fell for Sunday's ploy. It was a great move on her part, if she came up with it. If she did, it's the first great move she's done.
Bret and Zeke bonded strongly because of their connection, which I'd suspect helped keep Bret on Zeke's side against Dave later. The super clear alliance lines then shone through. On one side was Bret, Sunday, Will, Jay, and Zeke. Will and Jay are tenuous but still together, Bret/Sunday is rock solid, and Zeke/Bret is a new strong force. On the other side is Ken, Jessica, Adam, Hannah, and David. The Ken/Jessica bond was strong, and Adam/Hannah became stronger after she turned on Zeke. Dave's complicated though.
I was honestly surprised by how Hannah correctly realized Zeke no longer trusted her because she seemed to mishandle their interaction. But instead both were true: she messed up but she also realized it. That's a good arc potentially. Although right now Dave and Zeke seem to be at the center of the power plays, with a bit of "Hannah calls some shots" in there too. But really, everyone was playing to some extent, which is always great.
The jury is also a really interesting mix of people, although it is sad that yet another woman left the game. Yeah, she wasn't a target in this vote, but Hannah was, so … I don't know. I want to see the finale with different players where the winner isn't clear, so that they have to work to win at the end. Right now there aren't any bad players, only a few that aren't playing as strategically complex.
So I think we're on track for a good resolution. Both hours were a lot of fun, and Jay squeaked by both times while holding on to his idol, while Dave wasted his. Nobody knows about Adam's idol, and only Ken knows about the legacy advantage. So more twists can be anticipated.
Next time, David gets hope from Will, and a loved ones visit flips the game.

Beauty & Style
Easy-Wearable Eye Makeup Tutorial
Shy to using bright colors on your eyelids? Browns and golds are the way to go! Learning how to create a neutral eye makeup can come in handy when you're not sure what look to pair your outfit with. Neutral bronze and gold's are a perfect combination of hues for a very wearable look. I love creating this look since it can be worn for just about every occasion.
What you will need:
- Essence Eyeshadow base
- MUA Heaven & Earth Eyeshadow Palette
- Color Studio Professional Eye Ink in Earthen Roots
- Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo in Bold Gold
- Catrice Maximum Resist Volume Mascara
- Essence Gel Liner in Midnight in Paris
- Flat Eyeshadow Brush
- Fluffy Blending Brush
Start off by prepping your eyelid with an eyeshadow base, this helps to prevent the eyeshadow from creasing and to brighten up the eyelid.
First we are going to apply a cream eyeshadow in gold all over the lid; this will allow the gold eyeshadow to look vibrant.
Using a Flat Eyeshadow Brush, take a gold eyeshadow and apply it on top of the cream eyeshadow. This should be applied all over the lid in a pressing motion with the brush for proper application of your eyeshadow.
Taking a shimmery vanilla eyeshadow, apply this on the inner corner of the eyes and under the brow bone. This will help to brighten up the eyes and give them a larger appearance.
Using a Matte Brown eyeshadow, apply this on the outer crease with a Fluffy Blending Brush. You want to use a blending brush for this part since you want the dark eyeshadow to not look harsh but to help create depth to your look. Since we used shimmery eyeshadows all over the lid, the matte will help to darken the look.
Last you want to curl your lashes, apply mascara and a black eyeliner.
The final look!
A very easy neutral eye makeup look created using just a few products. If you want to purchase any of the mentioned products you can visit your local Super Market or shop online at Just4girls.pk or BeautyArena.pk.

Collaborative Democracy in the White House
If you have been following the White House's groundbreaking Open Government Initiative over the past few weeks, you'll be aware already that Debategraph has been mapping the proposals emerging from the Open Government Brainstorming sessions on Participation, Transparency and Collaboration.
The Open Government Initiative moved into the third, and most significant, Drafting phase today—and we're delighted to note that the White House's Open Government team has entrusted this vital phase to our favourite wiki team at MixedInk (who, if you haven't discovered them yet, offer a truly innovative and powerful approach to the task of collaborative writing, which is ready to be applied in multiple contexts).
The initial Open Government Brainstorming and Discussion phases have been stimulating and generative, but the real collaborative work, the real collaborative responsibility, and the real collaborative opportunity lie in the next phase of synthesis.
So get writing!
…and, to help you on your way, here's the combined Debategraph of the redacted proposals from the three brainstorming sessions:
Dissecting the G-20 Communiqué
So what are we to make of the G20 Communiqué?
As part of The Independent's visual mapping of the London Summit, we have broken down the G20 communiqué into an interactive visual graph, that lets you comment on and rate each of the major points.
…and we want to know what you think about the measures proposed.
So, start exploring the interactive graph below—by clicking on the spheres—and log-in to tell us if you're feeling quantitatively eased or squeezed.

Cries of the Dead II
By PaBurke
Cross: BtVS/Firefly
Disclaimer: Not mine, especially not the poem. That's Emily Dickenson's.
Spoiler: Just after the movie. Sequel to 'Cries of the Dead.' This was one of the last stories that I thought I'd be continuing.
Word Count: 1300
"Mal," Simon caught up with the captain just outside of the kitchen and then led them both away.
Mal worried a bit. Simon wanted to talk to him privately. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I hope." At Mal's glare, Simon corrected himself. "I think. I… just want to be prepared. I was wondering if we could do another hospital job."
"Why?" They had kept to the safer jobs since everyone had found out about the new baby, but they sure could use the cash of a med-vault job. Was it worth the risk?
"St. Gabriel's is on the nearest Core planet and they have the best neo-natal facility in the 'Verse. We could stop, get some meds to sell and stock up on OB/GYN meds and I could download all of their research." Simon looked flustered. "I want to be prepared for anything."
Simon was exhibiting more fear and uncertainty now than when someone was bleeding. "I'll talk to Zoë about it."
Simon's eyes bulged. "Don't tell her that I'm worried."
Mal snorted. "You also want to restock on River's meds."
"Of course. That was going to be on the list. Some day, I'd like to rescan River's brain to see if my theories of healing are true, but now is not that time."
"'Sides, I need my pilot driving the ambulance."
Wash watched River do his job. She was a genius, but he wanted to help. He noticed little things that could be improved. Then River fixed the timing coil and the paint job of the junkyard ambulance and Wash was feeling useless. Kaylee put together the engines with her normal faultless instinct. He watched as Simon coached Zoë and Mal on the medical terms that they might or might not need. Wash had missed this entertainment last time. Oh, he had known that Zoë had been beyond frustrated, but she was determined. He loved watching the lessons. She wasn't about to let a little morning sickness slow her down for the last job she'd pull before the baby was born.
Wash had a little talk with the unborn baby. He asked his Lit'l Lamb to be gentle on her momma. Anything to make Zoë's life easier. Wash wasn't sure if the Lit'l Lamb understood, but the morning sickness eased.
Buffy wasn't around much. She seemed to be following Jayne around, whispering in his ear. It was then that Wash found out that Jayne had betrayed them last time. He hoped that Mal knew. He listened as Jayne practically begged to be the one put under, to be one of the ones unconscious, vulnerable. Jayne felt guilty and he didn't want anyone and especially not Mal to not trust him.
River said that Jayne should be put under and then he could protect Simon when they woke up. River knew and with the way that Simon nodded in agreement, the doctor knew too. They had forgiven Jayne. Was Wash the only one who was just now finding out about Jayne's involvement in the Ariel debacle? No. Zoë and Kaylee were looking confused.
Buffy insisted that they ride the ambulance with the crew doing the job. Wash really didn't want to distract River from piloting, but Buffy said that it would be good. When they landed, Zoë and Mal pulled the gurneys of Jayne and Simon into the hospital. They pushed right next to an older man that reminded Wash of Shepherd Book. It was more than his coloring and stature that was similar, it was the way that he held his body and the knowing look in his eyes. Wash wondered why Mal and Zoë ignored him.
Then Buffy walked up to the man. "Hey Gabe."
"Slayer. It's been a while." They clasped forearms like warrior-allies. Gabe looked at Wash. "Who's this?"
"Wash. He's married to one of the crew. Wash, this is a friend and the resident ghost of the hospital, Gabe."
Wash shook hands with the man. He wondered how many ghosts were there and did Buffy know all of them?
"We've got work to do," Buffy reminded them.
Gabe nodded. "I'll show you where Wash can stand to disrupt the computers as your doc hacks the system. A ghost would cause enough problems that would be a priority and an obvious problem for those monitoring the system."
Wash followed the two other ghosts to a computer interface.
"Just stick your hand in there and move it around every once in a while," Gabe instructed.
Wash obeyed. Then Gabe and Buffy started walking away. "Where are you going?" he called after them.
Buffy walked backwards as she answered. "We're going to cause problems to protect the others. I'll be back for you when it's time to go."
Mal had no idea why this job seemed to be charmed when every other job fell apart at the seams. They were in and no one had questioned them beyond what they had prepared for. This time they did have to use some of the vocabulary that Simon had drilled into their heads again. Mal knew then that this was a higher class of hospital than the one in Ariel. River had been muttering about Simon belonging here and Mal couldn't argue. Simon offered the same excellent quality of care whether in a hospital, a whorehouse, or on Serenity. Mal had done the smart thing in giving the Tam siblings a refuge, way back when.
Another door malfunctioned behind them, blocking them from anyone who gave them a second look.
Seriously, this job was going too smoothly.
He and Zoë turned right and then made two lefts. The med-vault was right in front of them. This time their ID cards scanned right in. No need for the ID that Mal had lifted off some doctor on their way. The empty gurneys were quickly filled of all the medicines Mal and Zoë had written down. Two short minutes later, they were steering the gurneys out of the hospital and to the waiting ambulance. River was there, which was even better.
She was sad, but she speaking to Kaylee waiting back at the ship. River had promised to do so when she agreed to the job. They couldn't afford for River to go off the rails when she was alone… and their ride out.
It seemed like River was quoting something. "We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess – in the Ring – We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain – We passed the Setting Sun – Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses' Heads Were toward Eternity -"
"River?" Mal asked.
She wasn't done. "We slowly drove – He knew no haste And I had put away My Labor and my leisure too, For His Civility."
Zoë glanced at him. "Simon and Jayne are on their way," she reported.
River started up the engine, murmuring all the while. "Because I could not stop for Death – He kindly stopped for me -"
Mal grabbed the crazy girl's shoulder. "River, you need to concentrate. You need to fly all of us out of here."
Simon and Jayne jumped aboard. No one was following. Still River waited. Mal was milliseconds from pushing the girl out of the pilot's seat.
"River," Simon pleaded. His voice jolted her.
The girl lifted off. Her serious disposition blurred with a smile. "The Carriage held but just Ourselves – And Immortality." She didn't quote anymore and she flew back to Serenity as smoothly as if it were Wash driving.
Mal figured that she had finished her poem.
River patted his arm when they landed. "All aboard, capt'n."
"Then get us into atmo."
She nodded, still muttering softly.
Mal and the rest of the crew breathed a sigh of relief when the Black surrounded them once again.

Satellite service providers must bring sophisticated networking capabilities to the customer end site to meet rising customer expectations. Enterprise requirements might include running multi-tenant networks, terminating Layer 2 services, routing for disaster recovery, and providing sophisticated data and network management.
iDirect's X7-EC embedded computing remote allows service providers to achieve all these activities through the ability to deploy Cisco IOS® software at the network edge.
The Cisco 5921 Embedded Services Router (ESR) supports enterprise routing protocols for advanced end point management across an iDirect Evolution® Layer 2 over Satellite (L2oS) network. It's equivalent to placing a Cisco routing box at the customer premise to create a natural demarcation for managed services.
The service provider is able to reinforce their VSAT networks with the same global-standards, exceptional reliability and security they find in terrestrial networks. And as satellite plays an increasingly important role in enabling the Internet of Things (IoT) across the globe, the introduction of the Cisco 5921 ESR to the VSAT market brings an effective solution for managing all end points across the VSAT network.
"iDirect is offering the Cisco 5921 ESR as one of the first deliverables of our partnership as a Cisco Solution Technology Integrator (STI). As the satellite industry continues to adopt industry networking standards and support seamless services end-to-end, this combination of our iDirect X7 Remote with a Cisco Router in a single box satisfies demand for more capabilities at customer sites in a cost-effective, highly efficient manner," says Eric Watko Vice President, Integrated Solutions and Space Systems, iDirect.
The Cisco 5921 ESR is available in two varieties: Enterprise Base and Advanced Enterprise.
- Enterprise Base includes standard capabilities such as RIP, RIPv2, OSPF, BGP, traffic QoS, management services, NAT to PAT, and DHCP.
- Advanced Enterprise expands features with items such as IPv6, secure connectivity, IPsec, SSL/TLS, Call Manager, and a Firewall.
To learn more about the two varieties contact your Sales representative.

This crossbreed vehicle has a gas consumption of 1L/100 kilometers so that it is the most fuel successful hybrid electric Per internal combustion engine mix car. The XL1 might be highly energy efficient nevertheless its design still causes it to be practical for day to day use. The design can be aerodynamic and stylish. Waiting on only 1,156mm tall, the XL1 is only as high as the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. The wing kind doors give it the sportier look and still supplies a large entry as well as exit space since they extend far in the roof. One of the reasons why the XL1 is so gasoline efficient is because it features a total weight of only 795kgs. The weight of the car is broken down the following: 227kg for the entire drive product; 153 kg for the operating gear; 80 kilograms for the equipment; A hundred and five kg for the power system and 230 kilograms for the body, mentorship doors and front wind screen.
