Corruption worsens in world's conflict areas, 2013 survey finds
Where there is trouble, opportunity for corruption inevitably follows.
Some of the world's most tumultuous countries suffered setbacks this year in the fight against corruption, with civil war-torn Syria among the pack of nations increasingly at the mercy of bribe-takers and influence-peddlers, Transparency International reported Tuesday in its annual corruption survey.
Spain, Greece and Slovenia, where the turmoil has mostly been financial, also saw their good governance rankings slide in 2013.
Notable in the Corruption Perceptions Index 2013 was how little improvement was recorded in even the most open and law-abiding countries. Only two states -- Denmark and New Zealand -- scored in the top 10 percentiles on the 100-point index. The two countries at opposite ends of the world tied for first place with scores of 91, each up 1 point from 2012.
The bottom rung of this year's index was stubbornly unreformed, with Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia each matching last year's three-way tie for the most corrupt government with 8-point ratings.
Also unchanged from last year was the United States' 19th-place ranking with a score of 73, as well as China's showing in 80th place, though its score of 40 was a point higher than in 2012.
The assessments of public-sector corruption for each country are based on review of independent experts from 112 institutions, Transparency International explained in its report on methodology.
More than two-thirds of the 177 countries evaluated scored less than 50, agency chairwoman Huguette Labelle noted.
This year's index "demonstrates that all countries still face the threat of corruption at all levels of government, from the issuing of local permits to the enforcement of laws and regulations," said Labelle, a retired Canadian civil servant and former University of Ottawa chancellor.
By way of example, the Berlin-based corruption watchdogs cited an interview with a 33-year-old citizen of Yemen who was forced to pay police in the capital, Sana, $1,200 to investigate the robbery of his electronics shop of $15,000 worth of merchandise. In one of the poorest countries in the world, the bribe was equivalent to more than half of Yemenis' per capita GDP, according to the CIA World Factbook.
Yemen ranked 167th in this year's index with its score of 18, down 5 points and 11 places from its 2012 ranking.
Syria suffered the most dramatic setback this year, falling 24 places from a year earlier to 168th place. An intractable civil war that has killed an estimated 120,000 since March 2011 has obliterated normal government functions and fostered black markets and cronyism under the authoritarian government of President Bashar Assad.
Libya, also engulfed in sectarian and political conflict, saw its standing in the corruption index worsen this year, sliding from 160th place to 172nd.
Regionally, the European Union and Western European states collectively had the best showing, with only 23% of countries scoring below 50 points. By contrast, sub-Saharan Africa had 90% of its countries below 50, with Botswana leading the continent with its 30th place ranking and 64 points.

How the Insta360 Titan allowed an amateur developer to recreate 'Let's Make a Deal' in VR.
If you were lucky enough to stop by E3 2019 this year, you may have come across a line of people waiting to check out a small booth set up by CBS and Insta360. There, players could step into an interactive VR experience based on the popular game show 'Let's Make a Deal' and compete in a game of "CarPong" for the chance at winning some sweet prizes, including Insta360 cameras, t-shirts, even a few Oculus Quest's.
What you may not have realized, however, was that the entire VR experience was built in the span of just six months by a first-time developer.
VR Producer Jersey Feimster, the amateur developer responsible for the experience, was able to produce a functioning game so quickly by incorporating 360-degree video into the experience as a substitute for a hand-crafted VR environment. Using the Insta360 Titan, the companies recently released 11K cinematic 360-degree camera, Feimster—who also happens to play one of the zany mascots on the show—filmed the 'Let's Make a Deal' audience for one minute before having them stand up.
Feimster then began building the interactive portion of the experience, using this high-quality HD 360-degree footage to create the skybox/world in which the player inhabits.
"Six months ago, I had the idea of bringing a live studio audience to your living room/office," said Feimster in an interview. "I found out it had never been done before and was told it couldn't be done. So, I taught myself Unity late at night after my son and wife went to bed. Nighttime became YouTube university time. I did my first tutorial and then I was on to learning what a skybox was. I asked a ton of people all over the internet for help and got to a place where I needed some help from others. I called in for help and we made a great demo game."
As 360-degree video continues to progress, its appeal as a game development tool will only increase; especially with the recent advancements in 3D depth-mapping technology, which allows players to physically walk around 360-degree scenes with six degrees-of-freedom.
"The reaction has been unreal. This is a fun game, I could play it for hours. Even gamers that don't enjoy VR have loved playing it. When some of the large game companies are pitching you on how they can use your game, it's an amazing feeling. I'm so proud of my team for putting our E3 booth together in a short amount of time."

Thins morning I got a a very moving email from a colleague. With his permission, I have posted it here.
I have not been in practice as long as Dr. Palmer has, but I do see amazing improvement in patients who particiapte in vision therapy. It is wonderful to see that these stories last a lifetime....
Nathan Bonilla-Warford, OD
Bright Eyes Family Vision Care
Located in the Westchase area of Tampa.
You never know how something you do today will affect someone in the future, so here's what happened to me today.
I joined my uncle's established Optometry practice 28 years ago. I was fresh out of the New England College of Optometry in Boston and embraced much of the Vision Therapy and functional vision foundation for vision taught by Mitch Scheiman, O.D. As the newbie in the office, I had a lot more free time than my uncle, so I took on some VT patients.
I remember one patient particularly well. She was a 9th grader who had been placed in special ed classes because of her poor school performance. Both of her patients came in with her explaining that they knew she was a bright girl, but had some problems. They had been to physicians, psychologists, and ophthalmologists to identify and solve her academic performance issues. No one was able to help her with her problems. I was their last hope.
She was not a good student and had been placed in a secretarial program. Her typing (remember typewriters?) was particularly bad. She told me that she couldn't keep her eyes on the material without losing her place. What was interesting was that she had terrific visual acuity and was not nearsighted or farsighted, and so every other examiner told her parents that she was fine. I went looking for the needle in the haystack and found that while no particular set of measurements was significantly out of expected ranges, everything was borderline. She was a Vision Therapy candidate... I thought... perhaps. It was worth a try.
I don't recall exactly what we did 28 years ago, but her parents did the exercises with her every night. She began to show improvement and was moved out of special ed. By graduation time, she was an honor student. I followed her for a few years after that. She said when ever she felt the strain coming back, she would go back to "our" exercises and the problem would disappear.
She stopped in today after about 15 years away. She's 41, has graduated from college, works with computers, and is married with a family. As we were reminiscing, she mentioned that during college, she had to write about someone who had the most impact on her life. She wrote about me! I was speechless (and I am the endless talker). It just took my breath away.
Nowadays she does wear reading glasses, but she is nothing like the special ed ninth grader whose parents worried so much about her future.
If you ever wonder what you are doing here on Earth, I got an answer today.

Relationship levels dating r
Although we want our relationships to final a lifetime, it is very important know when to stay and when it is time to leave the connection. If you are courting and determine to decide to solely seeing one another, it is important to spell out what does that first stage of dedication mean to you?
Relationships should inspire both individuals to be the best versions of themselves they are often — each for themselves and for his or her partners. Most of us really feel that if we are single, we shouldn't truly join with anybody — as a result of we're not alleged to; we're single. Then we discover someone, fall in love and don't want to leave her or him for a second.
Teenagers and younger adults with Down syndrome often categorical interest in courting, marriage and parenthood. They may be anticipated to experience typical adolescent modifications in mood and outlook. Stereotyped gender roles have generally reinforced both instrumental traits or expressive traits based on a person's sex identification.
It's not unusual these days to listen to singles say wistfully that they'd similar to to fulfill someone in real life. Holly Wood, who wrote her Harvard sociology dissertation last year on singles' behaviors on courting sites and courting apps, heard a lot of these ugly tales too.
In fact, a lack of passion might result in boredom or dissatisfaction. Instead, many individuals benefit from the thrill of occasional passion of their relationship but could take solace in the safety of a love that is extra steady. While companionate love can also exist in shut relationships with friends and family members, passionate love is often tied to sexuality current in romantic relationships.
If you revisit the problem, it was never resolved in the first place. You'll each make loads of mistakes, and you'll both do plenty of great issues. Nothing will even out, in fact, but the ensuing happiness of letting issues go is much better than any completely balanced scorecard. If you went on several dates with this particular person, you introduce them to your folks. I mean, you're relationship them so why not introduce them to your friends.
Cross-cultural information reveals that the reproductive success of girls is tied to their youth and bodily attractiveness such as the pre-industrial Sami the place the most reproductively successful women have been 15 years youthful than their man. One examine masking 37 cultures showed that, on average, a lady was 2.5 years younger than her male companion, with the age difference in Nigeria and Zambia being at the far excessive of 6.5 to 7.5 years. The greater the National Health Index of a country, the more had been the feminized faces most popular over the masculinized faces. Among the international locations surveyed, Japan had the best femininity desire and Nepal had the bottom femininity preference.
She wrote in a weblog publish on Psychology Today how there shall be instances where it feels like you and your companion reside separate lives, and these lulls are normal. But for those in lengthy-time period relationships, it can be hard to work out if you should name it a day or robust it out. When you've got been collectively a long time, you are comfortable and familiar with each other, and letting go could seem more and more difficult.
Among the Karen folks in Burma and Thailand, women are anticipated to write love poetry and give items to win over the man.[citation needed] Since dating could be annoying, there's the possibility of humor to try to reduce tensions. Historically, marriages in most societies were arranged by parents and older relations with the objective not being love but legacy and "financial stability and political alliances", in accordance with anthropologists.
And so we maintain sacking our lovers and blowing up relationships all in pursuit of this idea of affection which actually has no foundation in actuality. Sometimes pessimism, a sure diploma of pessimism is usually a pal of love. Once we settle for that truly it's actually very onerous for individuals to be one other means, we're typically readier. We simply need folks to have the ability to explain their imperfections to us in good time, earlier than they've hurt us an excessive amount of with them, and with a certain degree of humility. It's essential to acknowledge when relationship issues are at the base of sexual problems and to concentrate on the underlying relationship when that's what's actually needed.

Gentle (g soft)
"We must be gentle, now we are gentlemen."—Shakespeare: Winter's Tale, v. 2.
The gentle craft. The gentleman's trade, so called from the romance of Prince Crispin, who is said to have made shoes. It is rather remarkable that the "gentle craft" should be closely connected with our snob (q.v.).

Wisest of the Twelve Wise Masters, in huge folios sang and laughed."

New York: Global stocks shot higher on Friday following a strong US jobs report and dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on the prospects for higher interest rates.
Those back-to-back market-friendly developments helped US and European stock bourses surge higher and set aside for now nervousness over trade wars, a US government shutdown and a slowing economy that have pressured stocks for most of the last month.
"A solid set of job numbers and some comfortable words from the chairman of the Federal Reserve have been just the ticket to get markets into bullish mode," said Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at online trading platform IG.
The Dow finished up 3.3 percent, or nearly 750 points, to end the week at 23,433.16, more than making up for the 2.8 percent slide on Thursday amid worries over slowing growth.
Bourses in Paris, Frankfurt and London all surged at least two percent, also boosted in part by the US momentum.
Earlier, Japan's Nikkei had slumped 2.3 percent, due in part due to a strengthening yen, which advanced further on the US currency following Powell's dovish commentary.
The losses in the Japan also followed Thursday's grim Wall Street session, which saw major indices end down more than two percent after Apple slashed its revenue forecast on weak demand in China and a US report showed manufacturing activity slumping to a two-year low.
– Dovish tone –
Employment data showed the US added 312,000 jobs in December, much above analyst expectations, strengthening the case of those who have argued that markets have overreacted to signs that US growth may have peaked.
Stocks rallied further after Fed Chair Jerome Powell told a gathering of economists that the US central bank had no "pre-set" plan for interest rates and was carefully monitoring economic conditions.
"Markets are expressing concerns about global growth in particular and trade negotiations," Powell said.
"We're listening with — sensitively to the message that markets are sending and we'll be taking those downside risks into account as we make policy going forward."
Powell "said exactly what the markets wanted to hear," said Gregori Volokhine of Meeschaert Financial Services. "He will adapt to economic conditions and could provide support if it's needed."
But Jason Schenker of Prestige Economics suggested the Fed could still take a hard line.
"Despite this dovish tone, we are skeptical," Schenker said in a note. "The Fed has willfully ignored trade and interest rate risks while talking a hawkish game."
Many analysts are girding for a rocky year for markets, owing to the US-China trade war and other unresolved matters, including a government shutdown fight in Washington that President Donald Trump warned Friday could last years as he battles for funding for a border wall with Mexico.
Stocks could be further pressured when companies report quarterly earnings later this month, according to DataTrek Research Co-Founder Nicholas Colas.
"The upcoming earnings season will likely see managements reset 2019 earnings expectations to something close to flat versus 2018," said Colas in note on Friday, adding that stocks could push higher in the year even if January is a month of losses
Analysts have also warned that increased gloom in financial and business circles could have a self-fulfilling nature.
A report Friday from JPMorgan Chase said trends in financial markets suggest investors have priced in around a 60 percent chance of a recession, while economists have put the odds of a recession within one year at around 40 percent.

When it comes to building birdhouses, there are just a few rules to follow: The projects should be simple, fun and quick to build. And the finished result should easily attract your flying friends. Birdhouses You Can Build in a Day is filled with 51 complete plans for projects that meet all of these requirements–a rare find in the crowded world of birdhouse books.
Meticulously researched, Birdhouses You Can Build in a Day is written for people who really like both building and watching birds. Each project is designed to attract a particular species (though some of them will attract several species). But that doesn't mean the projects are boring. The 12 authors of this book came up with clever and playful designs that are both a delight to build and effective shelters for birds, bats and butterflies.
The plans for the adobe house are designed to attract the ash-throated flycatcher, a bird that frequents mesquite and cactus thickets. The project–which is surprisingly easy to build–is also easy to finish with sawdust and paint. Instant adobe!
Or take a look at the pagoda designed for the Japanese white-eye, a Hawaiian bird with an Asian name. Even if you don't live in
The format of Birdhouses You Can Build in a Day is excellent. Many birdhouse-building experiences begin with our children, who want some time in the shop and to work with their hands. You (or the kids) can page through the book and choose a house or bird that suits your fancy –almost every project includes a picture of the bird it is designed for, plus some interesting facts about its behavior or habitat.
Then, with a project selected, you're ready to go to work. A complete cutting list tells you the exact size of all the parts needed to build the project, and the construction drawings show you how it will go together. If there are any tricky construction steps, the author includes photos that will walk you through that phase of the project.
There are also instructions on finishing the project, how to place the house and information on if you need to provide nesting material (usually the sawdust you just made!) to give the bird a head start.
While some woodworkers will roll their eyes at the prospect of building a birdhouse, that's not going to happen with Birdhouses You Can Build in a Day. The authors have cleverly inserted some interesting lessons for beginning and intermediate woodworkers. Some of these projects offer a great opportunity to try out a new skill with very little risk of failure.
For example, some of the projects have roofs that involve compound miters. You can learn clever and accurate ways to cut and assemble them using basic tools (a miter saw) and even more basic clamping methods (masking tape). Make a couple of these assemblies and you'll start adding compound miters to your next furniture project.
Or have you ever wondered how to make a bowl without a lathe' One birdfeeder project shows you how to make a nice shallow birdbath or feeder using some basic power tools and clamps. It's a great trick.
Of course, the greatest reward with this book is the final result: A big smile on the face of your partner in the shop, a nice place for some birds to live and the years of enjoyment your loved ones will get from watching the birds use your project.

Teachers, we really are our own worst enemies.
We could have the greatest, most incredible, lesson that connects to kids' prior experiences and interests, builds up a sense of fun and excitement, is perfectly (and actually) differentiated to allow every student to learn, has so many lightbulb moments happening that you might be tricked into thinking an Ibiza strobe light has somehow made its way into your classroom…all capped off with that ever elusive reflection that goes the full 360 degrees as students reference your clearly delivered learning intention from the beginning.
#micdrop #nailedit #dustyourshouldersoff
Oh, God. Then the 'Then' kicks in.
Then we focus on the one minuscule thing we possibly, maybe, slightly missed. Or didn't expertly nail as much as all the other aspects of our lesson, morning or whole day.
Why do we always do this to ourselves?
Now, I know within Australian society there very much is this 'Tall Poppy Sydrome' that can prevent people from aspiring or seeking to stand proud of something.
Though, I can't help but think that when our ancestors first started putting our other ancestors back into their figurative boxes, it was because they were trying to knock the cockiness and arrogance out of people.
When did we get to a point where we can't celebrate and acknowledge that something went really well for us?
I just went to feel proud and I think I might have vomited in my mouth a little.
Just this week I was speaking with one of my team members about her class. We were chatting about the shift she has been seeing in her room. Her kids have suddenly been showing an amazing ability to independently manage themselves within their reading block… after she spent two terms constantly investing
some a huge amount of energy, time and effort to set up these expectations.
It was the half a second pause after she said the words "manage themselves" that I saw the 'Teacher Grimace' emerge on my teammate's face.
You know that grimace. It's the shift from a grin that usually befalls a teacher as a tiny moment from a lesson or discussion crosses our mind. A student briefly not listening, us responding to a student calling out, not waiting a full two seconds before asking for a response…or, OR, having our reading session go 7 minutes over our expected time.
It's 10:07am and I'm only just about move into Writing…what the hell am I doing?!
There it was, this HUGE milestone of teaching right there in front of both my teammate and I. Ready to be acknowledged and celebrated…when it was all too quickly burned up with a sudden statement:
"Yeah, but there's this one person who still just isn't getting the routine as much as the others."
(Re-read that sentence. The kid gets the routine and still follows it at times, just not as well as the other TWENTY FOUR students who are all doing it.)
Why is it that so many of us, as teachers, always get drawn back into only seeing those things we may have missed or not demonstrated as well as we hoped for?
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for learning by doing, using mistakes for learning and investing time, effort and repeated practise to improve.
However, I equally believe in coming from a strength base. Knowing the skills, knowledge, understandings and dispositions we are strong in using, modelling and teaching to others.
It was at this point that I couldn't help myself. I had to jump in…
Me: "So, all the other kids are following the routine?"
Legendary Teammate: "..Yeah"
Me: "24 kids are all following the routine and actually know what they're doing?"
Legendary Teammate: "…Yeah"
Me: "That is amazing! That is awesome – you must be so pumped!"
Legendary Teammate: [Cue slightly stifled smile breaking out]
Yes, we aren't perfect and we never will be. Ever.
But, at some point every day you do something really well. Something great. Something incredible. Something amazing. Something inspiring.
Every day.
And do you know what is even better to realise? So does your colleague next door or down the corridor.
It's about time we start to make time to remember those minuscule, little, large or GIGANTIC moments of success or strength that happen in our classrooms.
It can be daunting to fight that weird voice that can sometimes be in our head telling us not to share something we are proud of, but like Dr Maya Angelou said, courage starts with small steps.
Share one thing you believe went well in a lesson…to yourself.
Then build it up.
Keep looking for those quick wins or small victories you may have noticed for your colleague. Simply tell what you saw, heard or noticed. If they do what a lot of us do and try to downplay it, or find a negative, just restate what you saw, heard or notice, throw two thumbs up and a smile.
(Then leave, walk away, or just continue talking about the next topic. Don't stand there with the thumbs still up, smiling. People will find this weird.)
Forget the tall poppies, let's help each other grow proud ones.

I applied the PLT profiler on this program (and including an inlined copy of the md5 library so the profiler could look through it.) The dominating factor here is the 32-bit word arithmetic within the loop in step4 of the md5 algorithm. A good third or so of the total runtime appears to be spent doing "word+=!", one of the private functions in the module that simulates a 32-bit word arithmetic operation. So the slowness you're seeing isn't really your code at all: it has more to do with the implementation of md5.ss in the standard library. > The Java version is a bit more verbose, so it spends a bit more > printing. I *guess* that could partially account for why it is slower. > (?!) No, it's not a verbosity issue. I can easily write a verbose program that's dog slow. *grin* But I don't think people have really stressed the standard library's md5.ss in such a way that warranted looking at its performance more closely. You've highlighted that the performance might need to be tuned up a bit, so maybe someone can take a look to see if it's possible to make the word arithmetic faster. Still, since you're getting good results with the other md5 library binding, maybe you can just stick with that one for now.

KSU seeks to foster a proactive climate of care that can only be achieved through cooperative input from the entire community. Through identification, we can connect concerns with the resources to succeed and hopefully...
Possessing computer skills and feeling comfortable online does not necessarily ensure your success in an online course. A common theme in online courses is self-discipline and persistence. At 肉肉传媒 State, we are committed to helping our online students achieving their academic best.
What are the benefits of online learning?
Online learning provides considerable freedom, allowing students to often choose when and where they'll participate in class activities.
Students will have the same kinds of deadlines and structured responsibilities of a face-to-face class. In other words, flexibility must be balanced by responsibility. Like a face-to-face course, online courses require assignments be completed by due dates, your attendance (via logins to your course), involvement in online discussions, and sometimes group collaboration. Most students enjoy the active learning that online classes involve.
What are the challenges of online learning?
Self-motivation and discipline are required to succeed in distance learning courses. For many, distance learning offers access to education not previously available. It also provides a solution to flexibility needs, work and travel responsibilities, and family challenges.
A successful experience in distance learning requires a basic familiarity with technology. Resources are available for students through University Information Technology Services for those interested in distance learning, but in need of a technology refresher. It is also strongly recommended that students have ready access to a computer or laptop with a high-speed Internet access, such as DSL or cable broadband. Online courses will require students to download and access course materials. Online learning success depends on preparation, motivation, dedication, and planning.
What equipment and technology will I need to be successful at online learning?
Online learners will need a computer, Internet access, basic software (such as Microsoft Office Suite, Windows Media Player, Quicktime movie player, anti-virus protection and a compatible browser), and auxiliary equipment (such as a webcam and microphone headset for video-based communication). Of course, technology needs will vary by course. But this list applies to the majority of courses.

Microsoft is certainly not shy about updating the software that powers its Xbox 360. They've even gone so far as to completely change the interface that gamers find themselves living in when using their game console, adding new features and changing how the whole experience works. They've even been known to add or alter features that are a little more obscure, too.
It appears this was the case with the latest Xbox 360 Dashboard update. Not content with all the well documented features, Microsoft also added on less well publicized feature that could prove to be a real boon for some. So much so, we're surprised it hasn't been mentioned before now.
Anyone who uses a USB storage device as a memory card on their Xbox 360 will be interested to know that they can now use larger, higher capacity devices without their console moaning about it. Previously, the storage limit was set at 16GB, but post-update, the Xbox 360 now supports storage devices up to and including 32GB. While 64GB would certainly be nice, we're not going to complain!
The ability to use external, USB storage devices to save game data and profiles is a great way of taking your Xbox 360 presence with you, meaning you're never tied to one machine. If you've got one Xbox 360 in your man cave and another under the TV in your main living space, then using a USB storage device means you'll have minimum problems when you're kicked off the main TV by your wife the next time X-Factor is on! C'mon, we've all been there!
Other well known additions in the latest Xbox 360 update include a version of Internet Explorer 10 and a simplified version of the existing Metro interface. All in, the update is an impressive one that adds another lick of paint to an already slick interface, while adding features along the way. Not bad for a machine that's getting a little long in the tooth, but continues to do the business in the fun department.
Now, can we have the next Xbox confirmed soon please, Mr. Ballmer?

Research from the American Psychological Association, the Journal of Family Psychology and Science Daily presents alarming and definitive evidence that the majority of married men will cheat on their wives. The rates of divorce are just as alarming. The research indicates that 30 – 60% of all married individuals will engage in infidelity; that nearly 50% of all marriages end in divorce; that long-term monogamy is difficult to achieve; and that 50 – 70% of men will cheat on their wives. Research also suggests that men are less likely to leave their wives when they are cheating, so they cheat and make every attempt to remain in the comfort of the covenant relationship. Media has capitalized on this data and made sure that all marketing efforts for men have some level of sexually seductive suggestions that lure men into the one thing that research shows they like the most, other women.
With those kinds of percentages, infidelity is more like a pandemic, than it is a sinus infection. For black men, who want to live their lives with integrity and be black and married with kids, it is, at best, scary to know that the possibility of cheating is so close to him. So, to help both men and women understand infidelity and figure out how they should address it in their relationship, I have chosen to do with infidelity what medicine has done with prostate cancer and hypertension; prevent it. In order to win this battle in your relationship, you must work proactively.
So, rather than writing about the signs of cheating or why men cheat; I wanted to take the research at face value and take responsibility for the risk I believe myself and all other men face, the risk of infidelity.
Here are a few things we know about cheating and what we can do to prevent it:
1. The younger the man is when he gets married the greater the possibility is that he will cheat
Young men should ensure that they are in healthy mentoring relationships with other men who can help them process through feelings and situations that could lead to them cheating. At some level, all men should have other faithful men in their life that can help them process through difficult times.
2. True signs of infidelity are often seen in retrospect
Signs of cheating normally show up as little inclinations with limited certainty. But are later made very clear, after the cheating has already occurred. Couples rarely talk about feelings of cheating because they don't feel safe enough. I mean, most men would never say, "Baby, I'm feeling like having sex with the secretary. Can you help me?" And most women could not handle a conversation like that anyway. But, more mature couples understand that life brings temptations and they attempt to talk about them and get through them together.
3. It is emotionally possible to have feelings for more than one person.
The reality of relationships is that it is very possible to have feelings for more than one person at the same time. It is difficult to manage a secretly intimate relationship with another person, but it is possible. Women should realize that it is possible for their husband to have feelings for another person and not think that just because he loves her "so much" that it could never happen. Couples have to be able to talk about this possibility and have an emergency plan to handle it if it does happen. Marriage is no fairy tale.
4. Attractiveness plays a major role in who men cheat with.
Men should take responsibility for knowing what kind of women are their "type". They should avoid every situation where a woman of their "type" is involved. Don't hire, don't hang out with, don't spend alone time with, don't friend on Facebook, call… … guess you get the point. Acting like your wife is the only woman you could ever be attracted to is a sure set up.
5. Cheating is highly predicated on opportunity.
Cheating's best friend is opportunity. Men who cheat spend a tremendous amount of time and effort planning their opportunities to cheat. If you have ever had a fleeting moment in your alone travel that made you feel like doing something wrong, then stop traveling alone. Monitor how you plan your schedule and make sure that you don't plan opportunities for yourself to fall.
6. Sexual desire and satisfaction impact cheating.
Make sure that you're not only having sex, but you are having good and satisfying sex with your partner. Match each other's sex drive and sexual satisfaction level. Remember that masturbation will eventually decrease intimacy and lower sexual intimacy with your partner, so use that energy with your partner. Talk about your sexual experience; what could be better and what was right on point.
7. Men with Avoidant or Dismissive Attachment Styles are more likely to cheat.
Men who avoid confrontation and don't like talking about problems are at a higher risk of cheating. These men are sometimes uncomfortable with intimacy and have a difficult time emotionally expressing themselves. Men need to force themselves to have intimate conversations with their wife and be vulnerable. At the same time, women need to help men feel like they can talk about "anything".
8. Couples that are afraid to tell the truth and talk about their problems are at greater risk of infidelity.
Men who have a hard time talking about general problems, such as finances and family issues will have a more difficult time talking about their infidelity. Men who lie about little things will obviously lie about adultery. Men need to take risk to tell the truth about things they feel may make their wives upset. The better they get at telling the truth about little things, the more confident they will be at talking about and telling the truth about the big things.
9. Men who have had multiple sex partners and or a family history of men who have cheated are at greater risk.
Men need to realize that there are some women and people in their lives that are due their forgiveness. Men should take responsibility for their past sexual relationships and vow to sexual purity with one woman. Even when the woman they love is not the woman they want to have sex with; they should restrain themselves and make love to their wife "on purpose".
10. The role of faith has an impact, but faith alone does not lower the probability of a man cheating.
Men need a greater reason than their relationship with God to keep them from cheating. Often Christian men minimize the possibility of them ever cheating, even in the face of so many Christian men that have already fallen victim to infidelity. Men need to make a decision to "die with integrity." Cheating is not about heaven or hell. It is really only about your reputation on earth and your legacy to your family. Men have to have a natural reason not to cheat. "Dying with integrity" is one of a man's best reasons to be faithful.
BMWK – do you think that you and your spouse could work through the warning signs of infidelity in order to prevent it? Could you be open and honest enough with each other to address some of the risks mentioned above and work through them in order to prevent infidelity?

I plan on using Ra3 main processor, however the home is massive and requires 3 additional repeaters. There is no Ra3 repeater correct? I will only use Type-A devices around the main processor and Type-X devices around the Ra2 Aux Repeaters. The home is in stud framing currently, I want to make sure I get the correct wires to the Aux repeater locations. I have home run 18/4 and cat6 to each repeater location, I have 2 questions:
1. How do the Aux repeaters connect to the Ra3 main processor? I need a hard wired connection.
2. Are the Aux repeaters daisy chained? Can I not wire all of them back to the main repeater?

IACLE Contact Lens Course
The IACLE Contact Lens Course latest version is ICLC2020
Thanks to the support of our editors and IACLE's Education Team, from 2020 our contact lens course will be reviewed every 2 years. Initially available in full in English, ICLC2020 will be translated into additional languages.
How to access the ICLC
ICLC2020, previous versions and translations are all accessed via IACLETOP.
About ICLC
The IACLE Contact Lens Course (ICLC) is the longest established, most valued and most important of IACLE's teaching resources, and is used by IACLE members in educational institutions worldwide.
The ICLC covers all aspects of contact lens education – from the anatomy of the cornea to the business of contact lens practice. It provides educators with the materials needed to teach a high-quality contact lens course, and is also suitable for students and practitioners.
The original ICLC (print and DVD rom versions) was converted to PowerPoint in 2013 and remains available as a student aid/textbook in the Free Resources section of the website.
In 2015, the 10-module ICLC underwent a comprehensive reorganization and update by the world's leading experts to keep pace with developments in the contact lens field. ICLC2015 (formerly known as the New ICLC), with six modules and 33 lectures in PowerPoint format, is available in Chinese (Simplified), Korean and Spanish. Some lectures have also been translated into non-core languages: French and Italian.
ICLC2020, and also translations of the 2015 version (ICLC2015), are available exclusively to members via IACLETOP. If you would like access to these courses and qualify to join IACLE, please apply for membership.
What our members say about the ICLC
'Trying to keep abreast of new developments in such a rapidly changing field as contact lenses is very tough. Many textbooks are out of date almost as soon as they are published, and trying to find one resource that covers all the essentials is almost impossible. The IACLE Contact Lens Course is a 'one-stop shop' that covers every relevant aspect of modern contact lens practice in a thorough, easily readable manner. I highly recommend ICLC2020 to students and experienced practitioners looking for an up-to-date and comprehensive resource on contact lenses'.Professor Lyndon Jones, University of Waterloo, Canada
A sample lecture from the ICLC2020, E2 Fitting Scleral Lenses is free to download
Course Content
Lectures: A series of text, diagrammatic, picture, and/or video slides arranged logically to lead the 'student' (student, educator, or practitioner) to a greater understanding of the lecture topic by presenting the underlying principles sequentially. Most slides are accompanied by explanations and relevant references in PowerPoint's Notes panel. In some lectures, Appendices that detail related but not necessarily mainstream information, are hot-linked within a slide. A related hot-link in the Appendix returns the user to the originating slide.
- The PowerPoint format enables the educator to create a lecture, a whole subject, or a whole curriculum, easily and flexibly
- Most educators will find that the New ICLC covers all aspects of the contact lens curriculum and more
- Many presentations will be selected modules and lectures from the New ICLC as few contact lens courses can accommodate all the material it offers
- Educators can select the topics required for course, institution, or country requirements. Enables the delivery of a contact lens course at a level appropriate to local needs
- The use of an electronic format and a single source (IACLE) means that files can be updated or corrected relatively easily and frequently, all at no cost and minimal inconvenience to end users

In recent months we have seen how coronavirus has altered the traditional working model of many companies. We can always talk about Google, Microsoft or similar examples of companies that were already very advanced in teleworking.
But, in this blog, we will focus on generally non-tech companies that in many cases were moderately prepared for this new work scenario and in others have had to quickly adapt technologically via a digital transformation with a significant risk to productivity
"A study published by EAE Business School relating to the impact of coronavirus indicates that, in April, teleworking in Spanish companies grew by 88% compared to 4% before the pandemic" (source: El País newspaper). If we look at this data and consider the future evolution of the virus until there's a cure, it is safe to say that teleworking is here to stay and therefore requires a future model for implementing it that ensures productivity is not affected.
Teleworking brings a range of benefits
- A reduction in travel and pollution
- Savings in company and employee costs
- More flexibility in work organization
- Greater autonomy for the employee
- Opportunity to recruit and use talent from anywhere
Obviously, for teleworking to be feasible, the job role/activity must allow it, the employee must be capable of understanding and adapting to a new situation with the necessary motivation, and the right technology tools (hardware and software) must be available. Above all, the company must encourage improvement in all internal communications processes.
Technological teleworking requirements
- High-quality internet access with QoS mechanisms on shared networks
- Collaboration tools (like MS Teams, Slack, etc.)
- Virtual desktops, IP video conferencing systems
- Security mechanisms
- Remote support and assistance
Of these, all are relevant to a remote worker's success, but particularly worrisome for companies is the issue of security – since not only the person carrying out their tasks can be affected, but the whole organization. And keeping workers outside a controlled office environment requires exceptional measures because while the tools for connectivity are relatively easy to obtain and deploy, productivity can plummet due to a lack of corporate security protocols.
What weaknesses are common in teleworking?
1. Physical security of company devices
Laptops, tablets and mobile devices may hold large amounts of confidential corporate information, and all these devices are highly susceptible to theft or loss in shared or public workspaces. Data protection mechanisms such as hard disk encryption, USB token or even secure password policies at startup are simple proposals available to all corporate IT departments.
2. Access to company networks
Most people use the internet to connect to company resources without conducting a basic vulnerability audit in their own connection environment.
The common resource is the Wi-Fi connection; open networks should be avoided wherever possible and an encrypted VPN should always be used for teleworking.
If the teleworker is using a device that does not belong to the company (as in the case of BYODs), security can be greatly increased by adding a remote desktop solution to the VPN, since this ensures that applications that have not passed the company's security department criteria are not used.
When you cannot use the home network for teleworking, or any other network deemed a safe alternative, a 4G or 5G mobile data network should be used. By default, this type of network has several security measures to protect information going to and from the device, making it a reliable communication channel.
3. Software tools
It is obviously important here to allow access to email and permit the use of collaborative tools and cloud services while protecting our system against cyber attacks using antimalware, firewalls or antivirus solutions.
The use of virtual machines in the work device can be considered as a potential solution. This keeps the employee in a controlled environment and limits the exposure of the company network to the home environment. Although this solution is somewhat more complex to configure and deploy, it could provide a higher level of security long term.
4. Social engineering attacks
Here we are mainly talking about emails and URLs to unsafe websites that allow malicious software (malware) to enter the device or steal potentially confidential information (phishing).
Any workstation requiring access to information on the internet outside the VPN must be protected from the user visiting unsafe webpages. Web-filtering solutions have been developed with dictionary-based corporate policies that will only allow connection to sites that do not present a documented potential danger.
By using the simple rules mentioned above, you can avoid the kinds of menacing developments arising from security problems. Almost all ICT solution providers have a product portfolio that allows them to deliver key-in-hand solutions to companies, to be able to offer a reliable, safe service that does not affect productivity.
Teldat, specialized in manufacturing access equipment, can offer its customers a range of connection packages that are secure and easy to deploy for users. The product range also features content filtering solutions with configurable policies that enable teleworkers to access only those sites their company deems safe.

Sometimes you don't really need these pointless pre-joke sentences.
Here's my report on a new series of wines inspired by NHL teams:
Anaheim Ducks wine: Strong notes of citrus. Makes you really dizzy.
Los Angeles Kings wine: I thought this was going to be good but I ended up sending it back. It was all corky.
San Jose Sharks wine: Starts off fresh and bold but ends on a bitter note.
Toronto Maple Leafs wine: Franzia boxed wine. Popular but awful.
Winnipeg Jets wine: Tastes like a bus. Frozen solid.
Pittsburgh Penguins wine: This wine would be really good if the grapes weren't always damaged.
Detroit Red Wings wine: Tastes like, and is, malt liquor.
Vancouver Canucks whine: "We're not even tough why do people hate us?"
Boston Bruins wine: Sold in a solid gold bottle, tastes like piss and glory, and is called "Hubris."
New York Islanders wine: I didn't get a chance to try this one because Rick DiPietro broke all the bottles.
Ottawa Senators wine: Voted "Best Wine in the World" by the Ottawa Senators Winemaker's Association.
Nashville Predators wine: Strong notes of country spices, fried chicken and gravy.
New Jersey Devils wine: It tastes pretty good I guess but it costs $1000 a bottle.
Dallas Stars wine: I hate this wine.
Minnesota Wild wine: For this wine they don't press the grapes, they just wait and allow them to regress to the mean.
Washington Capitals wine: The key flavor in this Russian wine falls flat. The result is disastrous.
Florida Panthers wine: The flavor is a strange mixture of cinnamon, asparagus, strawberries, and old car tires. Somehow, it tastes great.
Buffalo Sabres wine: This wine doesn't age well, and has gotten very bitter since its peak in 1999.
Montreal Canadiens wine: A distinctive mixture of citrus and sweet flavors with a strong aroma, this wine - I'm sorry, I won't get a chance to complete this joke. I've just been informed that I've been traded to Matchsticks and Gasoline.
Edmonton Oilers wine: Far too immature to be taken seriously.
Columbus Blue Jackets wine: Tastes like shit.
