When Jupiter conjuncts, sextiles, or trines your natal Venus, your love nature is stimulated. This transit is likely to bring someone new into your life! Jupiter is the planet of abundance, good luck, and optimism.
Jupiter thus expands your love sector during this time and increases your opportunities for romance. During this period, you are more optimistic and hopeful when it comes to matters of the heart. You are sociable, affectionate and loving.
People take notice of your open, positive nature. This is often the time when you meet someone new, or increase your dating opportunities. This is also a time where you will have many invites to social gatherings, which increases your chances of gaining admirers.
You may find you attract people of different ethnic backgrounds during this time. In fact, during this transit, you are the life of the party!
I met the love of my life when Jupiter transited conjunct my natal Venus. My ex-boyfriend met me when Jupiter was conjunct his Venus and sextile my Venus. One of my best friends met her current boyfriend when Jupiter was trine her Venus. I could go on, but you get the picture.
During a square and opposition between transiting Jupiter and your natal Venus, your love nature is expanded. However, this transit can indicate that you may take foolish risks in love.
You may tend to promise more than you can deliver to your partner, which can ultimately lead to disappointment on their part. Alternately, you may have unrealistic expectations from your partner, which can lead towards disappointment on your part.
The danger of over-doing, over-spending and over-indulging is likely with this transit. In fact, this transit can indicate weight gain and financial irresponsibility, so be careful!
While Jupiter transits, on their own, do not necessarily indicate the beginning of a long-term, life changing romance, it can indicate a positive time for dating and creating new social connections. Another possible interpretation for this transit is that either you or your partner may feel the need for increased freedom from your relationship.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 1st house, you are likely to experience increased confidence and popularity. You feel attractive and "in the spotlight." Hard transits can indicate an overbearing attitude.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 2nd house, you may experience financial success. Hard transits can indicate significant financial gains or losses. Be careful with reckless spending.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 3rd house, your relationships with relatives may improved. In addition, your communication and thinking processes may be more optimistic and expansive.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 4th house, your home life and relationship with your parents is improved. You may re-decorate your home at this time.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 5th house, your social and romantic life will improve during this time. You may meet someone new. The hard transits indicate an unstable romantic life, and partners who promise more than they can deliver. Beware of an inflated ego at this time.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 6th house, you may become increasingly focused on your work and health. You may take on a new diet or exercise regimen. Health and work are positive at this time.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 7th house, a new relationship may enter your life, or your current relationship will be strengthened. If this is a hard aspect, your partner may desire more freedom, or may become overbearing.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 8th house, sexual opportunities may pop up! Beware of overspending. This transit can also indicate a sudden windfall.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 9th house, you may have the opportunity for travel or higher learning. If this is a hard aspect, you may experience a crisis of faith, or become part of an extreme religious group. Watch out for the tendency of appearing "holier than thou" to others.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 10th house, changes to your career or social status are likely to improve. You may receive a promotion during this time. Hard aspects indicate a time where you promise too much to your superiors. Obstacles to success may manifest during this time.
If Venus rules, or is situated in your 11th house, your social circle is likely to expand. Invitations to parties and social events occur during this time.
If the Sun rules, or is situated in your 12th house, you may experience an increased need for solitude. This is a great time to get in touch with your inner self. A trip to a spiritual place (ashram, yoga retreat) are favored at this time.

OPAL: East Dunbartonshire Information Line.
OPAL is a free information and advice servive for all adults (16+) in East Dunbartonshire. It is a single point of contact for anyone that might need additional care or support and is an additional route to independent advocacy.
OPAL can help with a wide range of things, from applying for Benefits through to finding a plumber. All of the OPAL Advisers work in East Dunbartonshire, they know the local area, they know the local services, and they can help you to find the help you need as quickly and simply as possible.
When you call OPAL, the phone is answered by a person and not a machine. Your OPAL Adviser is quite happy to give you their name, they will discuss the issues with you, and if they don't know the answer they will go and find out, and then call you back.
Anything you tell the OPAL Advisers will be kept strictly confidential. We will not share your information with anyone else unless you specifically ask us to. OPAL is a free service – all you have to pay for is a local telephone call.
You can call OPAL on 0141 438 2347
You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the OPAL website here.
OPAL is a co-operative venture between Ceartas, East Dunbartonshire CAB and Carers Link.
Thank you for your support at the last meeting. It's great having somebody independent in my corner: not sure what I would have done or where I would be otherwise.
I can pick up the phone and advocacy support is always there, ready to listen and help me understand things better.
It's really nice to know that someone is listening to me and taking me seriously. Other people seem to think that my problems are trivial and aren't worth bothering about, but that is not true. My Advocacy Worker helped me to make my point in such a way that I couldn't be ignored, and now things are starting to improve as a result.
Absolutely thrilled with the service. I wish my family all stayed in East Dunbartonshire and could access it!
I didn't know that there was anything I could do about my situation, let alone that I had options. I feel so much better knowing that I can turn to Ceartas for information when I need it.
When I call Ceartas everyone is always so kind and helpful. They are all a really good group of people.
Thank you for your prompt and informative reply. It's appreciated more than you will know.
I am usually apprehensive about contacting organisations in fear of being passed pillar to post. I was delighted when I contacted Ceartas: although I didn't need advocacy, you talked me through local services that I needed.
It's a really tricky role you've had in this case but you've done so effectively.
After waiting months, you got the ball rolling with a number of things and for that I thank you.
I live quite a long distance away from my sister. When she needed to get some more support in place for her dementia, the information about local services and support that you were able to give me was invaluable. I can't thank you enough.
Even a ten minute chat on the phone made me feel so much better. I was becoming frustrated and annoyed at not getting what I needed from services, but talking to my Advocacy Worker kept me grounded and stopped me from losing the rag with anyone.
Thanks so much, this is almost a miracle! Can you do anything for Partick Thistle while you're at it?
Thanks for discussing things and then sending us some information in the post: we have now started the Power of Attorney process.
There is always someone there at Ceartas for me, no matter who takes the call.
I felt like I was facing a brick wall until I started receiving support and information from Ceartas. The outcome of that has led to a much better relationship with the rest of the family, and now we are all pulling in the same direction.

On January 25, 2018, AEN hosted, together with the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, a Symposium on Free Speech and Campus Violence and Disruption, in Chicago, IL. The symposium focused on a number of timely issues relating to free speech on campus.
The first panel, "What Type of Forum is a University? What is the Scope of Permissible Time, Place and Manner Regulation?" was moderated by Mark Yudof of AEN and featured Professor Heidi Kitrosser of the University of Minnesota Law School, Dan Sharphorn of the University of Texas, and Provost Jonathan Holloway of Northwestern University. The panelists discussed the role of the university in promoting free speech, and examined the complexities of involved in determining appropriate regulations of speech.
The second panel, "Campus Speech and Disruption," was moderated by Sam Tenenbaum of the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, Professor Sheldon Nahmod of the Chicago Kent School of Law, Ken Waltzer of AEN, and Mike Atkins of AEN. The panelists discussed issues such as the "heckler's veto," the historical, sociological, and structural reasons for increased disruptions on campus, and the importance of establishing clear codes of conduct.
The third panel, "Campus Speech and Violence," was also moderated by Sam Tenenbaum and featured Mark Yudof, Mark Rotenberg of Hillel International, and Professor Charles Lipson of the University of Chicago. The panelists discussed ways to balance promoting robust debates and a diversity of opinion with the need to consider public safety, as well as the challenge of determining the limits of free speech.
The fourth and final panel, "Free Speech, Hate and Campus Climate," was moderated by Ken Waltzer and featured Professor Geoffrey Stone of the University of Chicago, President Tim Killeen of the University of Illinois, Chancellor Richard Herman of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Emily Briskman of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago, and Professor Jide Nzelibe of the Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. The panelists described how their own institutions addressed the issues of defending free speech, responding to disturbances, and disciplining disruptors, and discussed how free speech was key to improving civic engagement, protecting minority groups, advancing social movements.
Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio delivered a keynote address, in which he emphasized the centrality of freedom of speech, expression, and intellectual inquiry to the purpose of the university.
A full agenda for the symposium can be viewed here. Photos from the event can be viewed here.

To borrow a phrase from Goldilocks, New York's approach to hydraulic fracturing for natural gas buried deep in the Marcellus Shale has never been "just right."
To environmentalists, it looks as if the state is rushing headlong toward approving the controversial gas drilling technique. To landowners and industry people, it looks as if the state is taking far too long — four years and counting — to vet the process and let the gas boom begin. The truth may lie somewhere in the middle.
At times, the administration of Gov. Andrew Cuomo has appeared to want to encourage high-volume hydraulic fracturing — the process whereby millions of gallons of water and chemicals are pumped deep underground to fracture shale rock and tap the natural gas trapped inside. The administration floated a trial balloon over the summer suggesting drilling could be tried in a few Southern Tier counties eager to allow it, as a demonstration project. Negative public reaction promptly shot down the idea.
Lately, the Cuomo administration seems to be in slowdown mode.
Two weeks ago, Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens decided to enlist the state Department of Health to study the public health impacts of hydrofracking. That will further delay a decision. Cuomo, in Syracuse Tuesday, said the state's strategy was built to withstand a court challenge.
Then over the weekend, the DEC said it was likely to miss a Nov. 29 deadline for finalizing drilling regulations, a process separate from the environmental impact assessment. There may need to be another public hearing, and more delay.
Meanwhile, nine months after the public comment period closed, the agency is still combing through more than 80,000 comments on the latest iteration of its draft Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement, SGEIS for short.
Some of those comments criticized the SGEIS for failing to address some of the public health concerns raised by hydrofracking, including effects on drinking water supplies and air quality. Martens correctly determined these areas needed more study. Critics who see the Cuomo administration tilted toward approving hydrofracking wanted an independent review from outside experts, but Martens is right that government is responsible for safeguarding public health, and it should not delegate its authority. That said, the health department should conduct its review in an open and transparent manner. Its findings must be above reproach.
Cuomo has insisted all along that he would not be hurried into a decision on hydrofracking. "Let the science determine the outcome" has been his motto. But as we've seen with evolution and climate change, scientific consensus doesn't end the argument. Whenever the state renders a decision, and whatever it decides, lawsuits are sure to bloom.
Meanwhile, here's another Goldilocks question: At what point does the state's a cautious, measured approach become a stall?

The following are my top ten Fintech predictions for the coming year. While 2016 has been a momentous period in Fintech innovation there is more to come.
10 – Sensors
Internet of Things (IoT), Wearables, Smart Home and Connected Car will bring massive change to the Fintech industry forever. From Home Improvement Financing enabled by leveraging data from Smart Home sensors to Insure-As-You-Drive insurance leveraging real-time driving (human) and traveling (Autonomous) behavior.
These unique datasets will bring a whole new set of innovation and the next wave of Fintech startups.
Think it is farfetched? You are wrong. It's just around the corner
9 – The End of Privacy
The death of privacy is upon us – sorry for the news flash. We don't need to look too far to get a glimpse of the future. To receive a microloan in China, you need your photo, personal email credentials and your last 60 days of mobile call logs. Yes, reading your personal email and verifying whether you are in contact with references you listed is essential to access liquidity. We treasure privacy in the West, however, that thin veil of our concept of privacy is already being shattered. Everyone has a beacon tied to themselves at all times. Check your pocket.
8 – Mobile Everything
Speaking of that beacon, having a mobile device, GPS or wearable that follows you around will become a requirement for insurance, credit and payments. The mobile device will be required as the basis for Continuous-Authentication-As-A-Service for all forms of financial transaction. You insurance app will start telling you … "You are entering a high-risk area…". Exit or press a button to up your insurance coverage.
7 – Rebirth of Trust
The rebirth of trust is upon us with the advent of distributed ledger. Many issues such as fraud, verification of true ownership, clearance of multi-party transactions and chain-of-events are easily solvable. Insiders have been calling the distributed database, "The New Internet".
For my marketplace lending friends… can we not solve the "Stacking" issues now with distributed databases?
6 – Shared Risk
As the genre of Insurtech grows, there will be an explosion of shared risk platforms where people find likeminded folks to insurance each other in the forms of Micro Insurance. A dollar a day could provide coverage for many of life's little inconveniences.
One of the hallmarks of shared risk platforms is that when there is a claimless cycle, the affinity group will receive their premium back. I predict a complete disruption of the existing insurance agencies.
5 – Vertical Integration, Not Consolidation
Marketplace Lending, Insurance Platforms, Payment Systems are not going to gobble up smaller competitors. Instead, these firms will be looking for opportunities for vertical integration.
What if LendingClub and LendingTree merged? Lemonade and Ripple? Nest and Greensky, Metromile and Waze…?
I see a slew of vertical data integration as a catalyst for further Fintech innovation.
4 – Credit Everywhere and the Death of FICO
The age of going to a bank or submitting an online application to leverage your assets is a thing of the past.
Leveraging FICO or credit scores to extend credit might be too simplistic. The amount of data Snap Inc. has (Social, Mobile, Behavioral) plus SnapCash as the fundamental pieces to extend credit for specific uses will be the future.
LendingClub and Facebook are definitely competition for the same eyeballs. Creditors should turn themselves into "APIs" and vertically integrate themselves into every social media platform to extend credit.
(My platform FluidFi.com has dozens of lending related APIs that could easily become SnapCredit.)
3 – Make Room For Generation Z and Generation Alpha
Generation Z is now the biggest population cohort in the United States (70 Million+). Outpacing millennials, Gen Zers are born from 1993 to 2008. They are graduating from college as we speak. There are by the way 20 million university students in American and 4 million + are going into the college education system every year.
Gen Z will not live, spend and borrow the same way as their parents (aging Gen Xers). Generation Alphas are getting their first with the iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watches as we speak.
Their concept of credit, wealth management, and living habits will be dramatically different than how we look at currency and leverage today.
Get ready for the most connected generation of people that will be your customers this year.
2 – Digital Democracy (RegTech? Not Really)
We all know our government agencies, regulatory bodies and laws that govern finance were written over a hundred years ago. Most of the laws were written to protect consumers from the greed of the private sector. However, these laws are prohibitive to innovation. The current state of US securities law, for example, still prevents most individuals from making investments in the name of investor protection.
However, with information, data, DIY Platforms, consumers have more data than ever to make an informed decision. It is increasingly difficult for a Wealth Manager, Investment Advisor to steer consumers into ill-fitting products. The platforms with the most transparent set of insight for their consumers will win in FinTech.
1 – "What's Your Advantage?"
Major platforms that do not have any advantage will disappear in a spectacular way in 2017. Those with a single product, a single marketing channel, data and businesses processes that are easily replicable will vaporize in 2017.
Any feedback?
Timothy Li is founder and CEO of Kuber Financial. He has over 12 years of experience in Finance, Technology, Risk Management and is passionate about changing the finance and banking landscape. Li is also the creator of Fluid App, the next generation of credit products for Generation Z and co-founder and President of P2P Protect, a company that offers P2P insurance products in the US.

Indian's unaccounted wealth abroad estimated at $216-490 bn: Studies
Unaccounted wealth outside the country held by Indian's was estimated in the range of USD 216.48 billion to USD 490 billion over various periods between 1980 and 2010, according to three separate studies conducted by three premier institutes — National Institute of Public Policy and Finance (NIPFP), National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), and National Institute of Financial Management (NIFM).
The studies conducted by the three institutes have found that the sectors where unaccounted income is found to be the highest included real estate, mining, pharmaceuticals, pan masala, gutkha, tobacco, bullion, commodity, film, and education, said a report of the standing committee on finance tabled in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
There are no reliable estimates of black money generation or accumulation, neither is there an accurate well-accepted methodology for making such estimations, according to the committee's report, titled 'Status of Unaccounted Income/Wealth Both Inside and Outside the Country — A Critical Analysis'.
"All estimates depend upon the underlying assumptions made and the sophistication of adjustments incorporated. Among the estimates made so far, there is no uniformity, or consensus about the best methodology or approach to be used for this purpose," it said.
As per the report, the NCAER study said that unaccounted wealth accumulated outside India is estimated to exist between USD 384 billion and USD 490 billion during the 1980-2010 period.
The NIFM said that the results of estimation suggest that total illicit outflow at the current value (including opportunity cost) from India in the reform period (1990-2008) stands at ₹9,41,837 crore (USD 216.48 billion). Illicit outflows from the country are estimated on an average at 10 per cent of the estimated unaccounted income. The NIPFP said that during 1997-2009, illicit financial outflows have been in the range of 0.2 per cent to 7.4 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP).
In March 2011, NIPFP, NCAER, and NIFM were asked by the finance ministry to conduct studies to assess and survey unaccounted income and wealth both inside and outside the country. "It appears that the reliable estimation of unaccounted income and wealth inside and outside the country is a difficult task, this inference is validated by the widely varying estimates of the unaccounted income arrived at by these three institutes."
"The Chief Economic Adviser has opined that there is no scope for arriving at a common estimate of unaccounted income by combining estimates from the three reports (studies)," the parliamentary panel's report said. The panel, headed by M Veerappa Moily, had submitted its report to the Lok Sabha Speaker on March 28, well before the dissolution of the 16th Lok Sabha. Following the general elections, 17th Lok Sabha has been constituted.
The committee also noted that as only a "limited number of stakeholders" could be examined by it, owing to the paucity of time, "this report might be considered as a preliminary report", pending examination of other witnesses including non-official witnesses or experts on the subject, and after evidence replies of the finance ministry which are awaited.
"In the meantime, the Committee would expect the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue) to continue their efforts with greater vigour to unearth and bring to book unaccounted income/wealth both within and outside the country including follow-up action on the seven reports of the special investigation team (SIT) constituted on black money as well as the three study reports on estimation of unaccounted money," it said.
The committee, the report added, would thus expect more fruitful outcomes on this count, both in terms of much wider tax base as well as actual tax yield. In the context, it also desires that the long-delayed direct tax code should also be finalised at the earliest and reintroduced in the Parliament with a view to simplify and rationalise the direct tax laws in the country.

Strapless Heart Rate Monitors have greatly increased in popularity as the technology has improved. This is not only because they are proven to be ECG accurate, they are also easy to use, comfortable to wear and give you the freedom to check your heart rate at any time, not just during exercise.
You see, a strapless heart rate monitor comes with a distinct advantage over a heart rate monitor requiring a chest strap – you guessed it, no strap.
Both types of heart rate monitors have their advantages and the discussion below will hopefully help you in understanding the advantages of Strapless Heart Rate Monitors and therefore enable you to choose the right type of watch to help in your quest for health and fitness.
How A Heart Rate Monitor Works
A heart rate monitor with a strap works by having the strap transmitter around your chest. This strap has the sensor that picks up the electrical activity of your heart and sends the heart rate to the watch, via a radio signal, where it is displayed. Because the strap has constant contact with your chest wall this gives you a continuous measure of your heart rate, which is updated every 5-10 seconds.
A strapless heart rate monitor works in a very similar way to a heart rate monitor with a strap.
It uses a sensor which is, in this case, in the back plate of the watch and another sensor in the buttons or metal plate on the face of the watch. The electrical activity of the heart is detected through the sensor in the back of the watch worn on the wrist. Finger touch to the sensor on the face of the watch completes the electrical loop and allows the watch to display your heart rate in beats per minute.
This advanced digital processing technology has been developed in Silicon Valley, California. For the heart rate monitor to work you simply press one or two finger's down on the face of the watch and have the back plate on your wrist – your heart rate at the time will be displayed for the duration of time you hold your finger(s) to the sensor. If you kept your fingers on the watch the heart rate display is continuous which is useful in monitoring recovery rate after an exercise effort such as sprints.
Main Advantage Of Strapless Heart Rate Monitor
The main advantage of a Strapless Heart Rate Monitor is that it can be worn all day – after all, it's just like a watch. In fact it is a high performance sports watch with loads of fitness and health tools depending on the model you choose.
You'll find that one of the big rewards is being able to take your heart rate at random times during the day – it really gives you a good sense of your heart rate under normal and more stressful conditions.
Heart rate monitors with straps tend to be worn only during exercise as the strap can be restrictive, uncomfortable and fairly noticeable under clothes.
A heart rate monitor with a strap takes your heart rate continuously – thus providing data continuously on your display. This is great for activities such as bike riding when it is difficult and dangerous to hold the fingers of one hand onto the sensor of the watch.
Loads Of Data From Aussie Fit Sport Heart Rate Monitor
The Strapless Heart Rate Monitor is perfect for people who need to know their heart rate at any given time, and can be used for activities such as swimming, sprinting, walking, running or stationary bike riding where a heart rate rate is taken after a sprint, lap or during a walk or run. And depending on the model the amount of data available can tell you your highest and lowest heart rate and percentage of maximum heart rate.
Another fantastic benefit of the Strapless Heart Rate Monitors is that they are usually significantly cheaper to initially purchase and also to have battery changes. Battery changes can be performed by most jewelers.
All in all both types of monitors are great motivational tools helping you to set targets and keep focused on your goals. They both work well in providing accurate heart rate monitoring. The type of monitor you should get depends on the type of exercise you're doing and what sort of information you need and your personal preference to wearing a strap transmitter or not.

Why Catalans want to decide on their future in a referendum
By Isaac Salvatierra, Ricard Marfà, Idoia Longan
On 9 November, Catalonia made a new peaceful, civic protest to claim its right to decide its political future, against the Spanish Government's blockade.
Cristina Calderer
2,3 million Catalans took part on a symbolic vote to claim its right to decide on its political future.
81% of participants voted Yes to independence. Those in favour of Catalonia becoming a state within Spain (federal option) were 10% of votes. Finally, 4,5% voted in favor of making no changes to the current situation, wanting Catalonia to remain an autonomous region within Spain.
Do you want Catalonia to become a state?
If so,
Do you want that state to be independent?
On the 12th of December 2013, a majority of Catalan political forces, grouped together dubbed as the pro-sovereignty block, agree to hold a consultative poll on the 9th of November 2014.
Pere Virgili
"Something as complex and emotional as national identity cannot be reduced to a purely legal issue"
"Spain's leaders need to show some unwonted statesmanship by making a vote possible"
"This is a political problem that requires a negotiated solution"
"Catalonia and Spain are moving apart at a fast pace, and very little is being done to bring them back together"
"It is a game of chicken' between Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and Catalan leader Artur Mas"
"Rajoy appears to hope that Spain's slow economic recovery will make the problem go away"
CNN / al-jazeera / ARABASSAS / France24 / V7 / La Sexta / BBC / TVE / The Guardian. Per marta masedeu
In June 2010 the Spanish Constitutional Court cut back the Statute of Autonomy, Catalonia's basic institutional regulation which the Catalans had voted on in a referendum after an agreement with the Spanish state that broadened and safeguarded Catalan powers. Since then, the Catalans have taken to the streets in ever larger numbers to demonstrate.
Cristina Calderer
A turning point was the 11th of September 2012. More than a million people took part in a demonstration in the centre of Barcelona and most of them demanded independence.
Celia Atset
The 11th of September 2013. Inspired by the Baltic Way in 1989, the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (Catalan National Assembly), called for a giant human chain extending from north to south through the country.
Santi Iglesias
The 11th of September 2014. Multitudes of Catalans made up the shape of a V (for vote and victory) in a mosaic that filled two of Barcelona's main thoroughfares: the Diagonal and the Gran Via.
Manolo Garcia
Unlike Scotland, the Catalan process is driven by the people. Mass mobilization has forced political parties to take a stand and demand a referendum. The consultation has the support of the President of the Generalitat and a majority in the Catalan Parliament.
Cristina Calderer
CiU (Convergence and Union) ran in the 2010 elections on a proposal of a fiscal agreement with Madrid. After Rajoy's rejection of the proposal and the massive pro-sovereignty demonstration in 2012, Mas gave over his entire political project to the defence of the right to decide and to a yes vote on the question of independence.
A renovated ERC under Junqueras has brought together the traditional independence movement with a new and wider population of sympathisers who are unhappy with government cuts. This republican party has given parliamentary support to Mas without actually entering the government. That has allowed them to conserve their hopes for future electoral success. Opinion polls suggest that ERC would win the next Parliamentary elections.
His green leftwing party, which is in broad disagreement with the policies of Mas's government, has given their unconditional support to the Catalan people's right to decide, despite internal divisions on the issue of independence. Herrera will vote yes-no, while co-leader Dolors Camats will vote yes-yes.
CUP first entered the Catalan parliament in 2012 with three deputies. Fernàndez's charisma and the recent battle between CiU and ERC over the prospect of early elections have cast this assembly-based movement, which emerged from the ranks of the pro-independence left, in the role of mediators.
The PSC (Catalan Socialist Party) once united the working class politics of Spanish migrants with the Catalan left wing. Thirty-five years later, under pressure because of the independence process and smarting from the effects of the wave of competing left wing options, the party has lost much of its institutional power. Catalan socialists have sought to create a third way, lying between the unionist and pro-independence options. Iceta is in favour of a federal reform of the Spanish constitution but differentiates himself from the Spanish socialist party by calling for a legal consultation held with the agreement of the Spanish government.
Sánchez-Camacho is competing with Albert Rivera (see below) to win the vote of those who wish to continue being part of Spain. She supports the recentralising measures promoted by President Rajoy while defending improved financing for Catalonia.
Ciutadans's growth was fed by people's disenchantment with the PSC and the PP in the Barcelona metropolitan area, thanks in part to the support of Spanish media. Their main rallying points are the Catalan education model and the pro-sovereignty process.
Convergencia's Christian democratic partners vacillate between the co-federal agreement defended by their chairman and the unabashed pro-independence stance professed by their younger leaders. Duran is one of the leading proponents of the so called third way lying between the pro-independence and unionist blocks and he counts on the support of business owners with interests in Madrid and media groups.
The traditional pro-independence movement, fragmented into many often conflicting currents, was finally able to close old wounds and create a new movement with wide popular support which has mobilized thousands of people and kept up a constant pressure on politicians.
An historical entity that has defended Catalan identity and language from the attempts at uniformity of the Spanish state, especially during the Franco dictatorship, Òmnium Cultural has opted for a yes-yes vot and placed their nationwide organisational structure at the service of the referendum process.
Proposal of the new Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia
30th of September 2005
votes in favour: 120
votes against: 15
Article 1: Catalonia is a nation
Declaration of Sovereignty and the Right to Decide of the Catalan People
23rd of January 2013
votes in favour: 85
votes against: 41

"In accordance with the majority will as expressed democratically by the people of Catalonia, the Parliament of Catalonia agrees to initiate a process to exert the right to decide in order for the citizens of Catalonia to decide their collective political future"
Resolution on the right to decide
13th of March 2013
votes in favour: 104
votes against: 27
abstentions: 3
"To initiate negotiations with the Spanish government in order to facilitate the holding of a consultation with Catalan citizens on their future"
The Spanish government, appealing to the Spanish constitution, does not recognise Catalonia as a political subject and refuses to recognise its right to self-determination. Despite its international impact, the European Commission considers this to be an internal affair of a member state and avoids adopting an official position on the issue.
P.Hanna / Reuters
25th of March 2014
"Only the Spanish people is sovereign in an exclusive and indivisible way. No fraction of this population can be considered sovereign".
An extract from the sentence
"The Constitution is based on the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation and any attempt to dissolve it is radically contrary to the Constitution"
Mariano Rajoy, President of the Spanish Government
8th of April 2014
"It is impossible to give the Catalan parliament what it is asking for because the constitution does not allow it"
Mariano Rajoy, President of the Spanish Government
"A unilateral declaration of independence will condemn Catalonia to wander through space without recognition for ever"
José Manuel García-Margallo, Minister of Foreign Affairs
29th of September 2014
"All resolutions and orders dictated in the application of the impugnated normative and decree under appeal are hereby suspended"
An extract from the sentence
"Our interest is to make Catalan students more Spanish to make them proud of being both Catalan and Spanish"
José Ignacio Wert, Minister of Education
4th of November 2014
"Suspending all the challenged acts and other actions in preparation of a consultation or those related to it"
An extract from the sentence
For decades, Catalonia has attempted to transform Spain without success. The crisis has accentuated the economic suffocation that the state has inflicted on one of its economic engines. The fiscal deficit -the difference between what it sends to and what it receives from the central government has been one of the rallying points of Catalan civil society. The mutilation of the Catalan Statute of Autonomy, the opposition to the referendum and the attacks on Catalan language and culture have served to accelerate this disaffection.
Centre d'Estudis d'Opinió (2006-2014)
President Mas' goal is to use the unofficial consultation on 9-N to offer to the Spanish president, Mariano Rajoy, the chance to negotiate a proper referendum on the independence of Catalonia, like the one which took place in Scotlamd.
Both Mas and Junqueras agree that independence has to be proclaimed in the next Parliament, but they have different views on how and when this proclamation should take place.

Huntington's Disease is an inherited "autosomal dominant" disorder. This means each child of a
parent with H.D. has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. It is a progressive neurologic illness that results in problems that typically start between age 30 and 55.
These problems consist of 3 main groups of symptoms.
1) Motor Dysfunction
This is usually manifest by involuntary
movements. Early on these may be very minor twitches, of outstretched fingers, or fleeting movements of the muscles of facial expression. Over time these
movements slowly become more dramatic and start to interfere with normal coordination. People will complain of increasing clumsiness, muscle jerking, dropping things, slurred speech and swallowing difficulties. This can unfortunately progress to a degree where the affected individual becomes dependent on others for care. This collection of symptoms does not occur in all cases, with some developing stiffness and slowing of movement. The latter pattern is called the Westphal Variant and is more common in young onset cases.
2) Emotional Symptoms
This can precede, coincide with, or follow
the onset of the movement disorder. The changes may be very subtle, early on in the illness but can be severe. There may be depression, manic behavior, irritability, loss of insight, and
judgment. People may become more withdrawn or isolated. There may be an inability to control the emotions. Some become uninhibited. There is a increased risk of suicide if these problems are not
identified and treated.
3) Cognitive Dysfunction
Memory problems can precede, coincide
with, or follow the onset of
the movement disorder. Like the other features of Huntington's this comes on very slowly, with perhaps just a minor reduction in concentration initially. Over time the problems increase. There is a slowing of thought, loss of attentiveness, and decision making becomes more difficult. Complicated tasks (multitasking) become no longer possible, or lead to increasing stress. Calculation abilities start to fail. Memory for recent events becomes increasingly impaired. Affected people may eventually need help to manage their personal affairs.
The disorder progresses differently from
one individual to the next. Typically within an average of 10 years of onset of symptoms, affected individuals will be dependent on others for care.
The cause is known to be an inherited
defect resulting in a failure of nerve cell survival mechanisms. The genetic defect has been identified, and can now be identified in a blood test to confirm the diagnosis (DNA analysis). The abnormal gene results in the
excess production of a protein that has been labeled "Huntingtin". Researchers have identified this protein and are now identifying the mechanism with which it kills nerve cells. Experimental studies are currently ongoing to attempt to stop Huntingtin's production or stop its effects on nerve cells.
There currently is no known treatment to
prevent or slow down the progression of Huntington's Disease. The currently available treatments are symptomatic. There are medications that can help reduce the involuntary movements, and control
the psychiatric manifestations of the illness no medication has yet proven to improve memory or cognitive function but many studies are ongoing.
Genetic Counseling:
As this illness runs in families there are
many implications regarding being tested to find out if you have the gene even prior to symptoms developing. This testing is available but should be offered only with a genetic consultation to determine
if there are any expected risks when providing this information. Testing in individuals under age 18 without symptoms is not offered in Canada.
Medication Options:
A variety of medications can be used to
help settle the movement disorder. Treatment needs to proceed with caution. Frequently
treatment settles chorea but the functional status of the patient is worsened. Medications that can settle the chorea include; Tetrabenazine, Risrerdal, Olanzepine, Amantadine. Valproic acid can help myoclonic movements. Dopamine antagonists such as Trilafon (perphenazine) and Haldol are recommended only for severe cases in which the previously mentioned medications fail.
There are effective treatments for the
majority of the personality changes that can occur (depression, sleep disorders, anxiety etc.). Psychoactive drugs of a variety of types may be useful depending on the type of psychosocial
problems encountered.
Unfortunately there is no available
treatment for the memory disorder seen with this condition, and adjustments in the patient's life must be made, as required including the provision of additional care or changing accommodation to a safe
environment to assist in their ability to cope despite these changes.
Planning for the future, and caregiver assistance is of extreme importance in the management of this condition.

Evaluation Support Scotland have just published Principles for Positive Partnership; guidance on relationships between Scottish Government grant makers and third sector grantholders. They were developed by a facilitated working group that brought together expert representatives from Scottish Government and voluntary sector organisations. Sally Dyson, SCVO's Head of Digital and Programmes, was part of the working group.
The document provides practical guidance to help Scottish Government grantholders and grant managers achieve positive funding relationships, and if problems arise, how to tackle them. Although focused on Scottish Government grants, the principles laid out in the document are transferable to many funding relationships.
So, what are the key elements for successful relationships? Evaluation Support Scotland has identified the Three P's:
- Purpose: be clear about the outcomes the grant is contributing to and the gap that the third sector organisation is filling
- Processes: keep the paperwork simple and ask funded organisations to measure what's within their control
- People: good funding is about good relationships
Things to keep in mind:
- Remember, both grant managers and grantholders want to achieve positive outcomes for the people of Scotland.
- Good funding is about good relationships built on trust which take time to build. Be open when communicating and don't be afraid to ask for help.
- Not everything goes to plan and that's ok! Tell the grant manager before it gets too serious and use times when it didn't go well as a chance to learn and improve.
Whether you have a Scottish Government grant or funding from another source, do have a read of the full guidance and use it to guide your funding relationships.

What sort of help does our service provide?
ABEL evolved from a campaign pressure group founded by parents in 1997, who at the time were experiencing first-hand the devastating effects bullying behaviour can have on a child and their family.
Parents worked voluntarily to increase awareness of bullying issues and provided a voice for families who were concerned about bullying behaviour in schools, community establishments and the wider community. Through their work and funding from The Big Lottery ABEL began its journey as a voluntary Organisation.
ABEL now provides essential support for children, young people and their families in East Lothian so that they don't have to suffer the devastating effects of bullying behaviour in silence. Our one to one work not only supports the young person but when appropriate we work with parents as well to help them support their child.
We work closely with schools and other professionals in East Lothian to meet the needs of the people we are working with. As time and resources allow we also deliver bespoke workshops, group work and training to help compliment the one to one work we do. When available, we train volunteers who then co-facilitate workshops with a member of the ABEL team.

After the second week of the NFL season, the Bears are even. They won 30-12. They lost 30-13. One at home. One on the road. A push if you ask me. And not a bad two-game stretch to push. But Sunday's loss in New Orleans was an eye opener that should put elements of this ballclub on notice. I will now complain about three areas of the football team we've all been complaining about forever and try to offer solutions.
I'm sure many people out there want to crucify the Bears o-line after the 6 sack, 378 hit performance Sunday but I'm not going there. How does a Bears team in a close game for three quarters only rush the ball 11 times? How does a Bears team knowing (and we ALL knew!) the Saints would blitz heavily not compensate for that blitz by loading up the line and protecting? You might want to crucify them but from watching the game I wouldn't be sure whom to actually crucify. Webb was outgunned a few times but for the most part the defender in the backfield beat no one at all and rushed unabated to #6.
It seems to me that once Martz gets some offensive success he assumes every one of his players is a Pro Bowler and subsequently the Bears are harassed by an opponent with an actual game plan.
Solution: PROTECT THE QUARTERBACK! It really is not that hard. Line up with two tights. That means using only two receivers but if your entire passing game is dumping the ball off to the back, who cares? This offense does nothing, achieves nothing, goes nowhere if the quarterback does not have time to throw the ball. Run the ball more than 11 times. Establish the damn run. And when you're asking the quarterback to throw, protect him.
Is it possible the absence of Roy Williams and Earl Bennett leaves this receiving corps looking, well, like this? Is Devin Hester really ineffective if he doesn't catch the ball behind the line of scrimmage? Are we really in the place where we're relying on Dane Sanzenbacher to catch big third down tosses late? Can no wide receiver run a crossing route anymore?
Solution: A lot of this goes back to point one. If you don't block for the quarterback, you can't connect passes to wide receivers. But didn't we go through this every-route-more-than-ten-yards thing last year? Didn't the Bears start having a major of their success a year ago when the routes were reduced and the quarterback's drops were shortened? Didn't we f'n do this already?
Nope. The Bears will not win football games anytime Chris Conte and Major Wright are paired together at the back of the defense. Ditto if Craig Steltz is in there for either.
Solution: There isn't one. Just get Chris Harris healthy. We've all known for months the Bears had no depth at safety and Sunday they paid for it. CH and Meriweather need to be the starters. And they need to be out there. Jerry can draft all the shitty white safeties he wants it doesn't mean any of them can play professional football.
OVERALL: Bad game. And when you play this poorly against a good team, you're going to lose. Get it fixed and get ready. Because goddamnit, it's Packer Week.

The Quartz quarry in the village Novoselivka little-known but still interesting where Mining Processing Plant produces quartz sand is one of the most beautiful places in the Kharkiv region. It would seem that strange to be normal career. In fact, than try to describe it - it is easier to see once.

This incredibly beautiful place immense amount of sand and that gives it the beauty inherent in all quarries - turquoise hue lake, swim in it, of course not, but then neglected many prohibitions. But now, a year later, it could be a private security on that territory that could drive out you from the territory, However why do not enjoy the beauty of quarry?

Many businesses are wary of healthcare reform because of the challenges it presents. Yet healthcare reform also offers opportunity. In this presentation, speaker David Cutler highlights areas of underexploited value in healthcare, including chronic care management, administrative simplification, and care coordination. He shows the public and private sector opportunities associated with each of these areas and how smart businesses can take advantage of them. He also highlights the effects current public policies will have on business.
Building on his phenomenal academic career and extensive experience in healthcare policy, speaker David Cutler presents a feasible, sustainable plan for healthcare reform in the United States. He focuses on value creation—taking an expensive healthcare system that is haphazard in quality and focusing on enhancing its value—and shows how this can be achieved through several key changes, including improving the information flow in healthcare; aligning compensation systems so they reward better care, not just more care; and stressing organizational structures that lead to improved performance. An architect of the Obama plan for healthcare, Dr. Cutler shows how public and private policies can further the value proposition in healthcare.
