By PSXHAX on Sep 2, 2017: #1Following their PS4 Multi CoD Tool, PlayStation 4 developer @MODDEDWARFARE shared a console tools overview on his YouTube Channel with help from @XeXSolutions (YouTube) on their latest PS4 AIO Mod Tool for 1.76 jailbroken console owners.
Download: PS4-AIO-Setup.exe (39.1 MB) / PS4-AIO-Portable.zip (38.7 MB) / PS4-AIO_1.1.0.exe (37.5 MB) / PS4-AIO Portable_1.1.0.zip (37.0 MB) / PS4 AIO v1.3.0 Update
To quote from MODDED_WARFARE on NGU: PS4-AIO Release
I have been working on this tool with XexSolutions on and off for the past 2 weeks and feel like its time to release it. The tool combines all the tools I have made for 1.76 PS4's in the past into one tool along with some new stuff. Listed below is everything you can find in this tool.
Console Tools
Peek Poke Tool
- Payload Injector
- Mod Menu Injector
- FTP Browser
- Package Merging Tool
- UI Editor
Advanced Warfare/Ghosts Mods
- Peek and Poke Memory
- Dump Window to file
- Dump Selection to file
- Copy Selection of Bytes
- Search for sequence of bytes
- Search for string
- API Selector
- Auto Update peeked memory - PS4ME only
This is basically the same mods I released in my PS4 Multi-Cod Tool however I have added some extra options into the Advanced Warfare tool like, Player Speed, Radar and Jump Height and have added an option into both mod tools that allow you to switch between the base version of the games or the latest game update version. So for Ghosts you can switch the tool to support either 1.00 or 1.20 and for AW you can switch from 1.00 to 1.23.
Use the code execution feature in the webkit playground to inject a payload. The tool has some preset payloads for you to inject. You can add more by adding a payload to the payloads folder. You can select the custom payload option to inject a payload from any location on your computer.
You can also switch from .bin to .elf payloads using the elf loader in the webkit playground. There is also an option to change IP on the payload which is for payloads where you need to enter your IP in a hex editor. If you enable this option it will swap out the IP for you automatically.
Mod Menu Injector
Use the code execution feature in the webkit playground to inject a mod menu. You can use this feature to inject 2Much4u's GTA-V Azura Menu and Far Cry menu's.
Package Merging Utility
Use this to merge multi part package files into one package file. This will allow you to install the package in the package manager. You can use this for things like large game updates and store downloaded games and apps.
UI Editor
Use this tool to swap out your home screen images and inject an FTP payload before using. Click connect and it will load all the home screen images. Swap out the ones you want by right clicking an image and selecting replace image or select the image to replace and drag n drop a new image from the computer on top. You can also extract an image to the PC by right clicking and selecting extract image or drag n drop the image to the PC.
FTP Browser
Use this to browse your PS4's hard drive through FTP. Inject an FTP Payload before using. You can extract files from PS4 to PC and import files from PC to PS4. You can also double click a file to open it on your PC.
Peek Poke Tool
Select which API you want to use and inject the payload. Then click connect once on the game and select the module to attach to and click attach. Enter a base address to read and length of bytes to read and click peek. You can edit directly in the hex viewer and click poke to apply changes.
Inject the RTE Payload in the bottom right, then click connect on the Ghosts or AW tool once you're on the game. Once in a match select which game update version your game is running on then click fetch clients to load all the player names into the list. Click on a client and select a mod to enable which will enable that mod for the person you select.
Credit to the people who made the payloads and API's that come with the tool.
If anyone would like to add there own tools into PS4-AIO PM me. I will add it to the tool and add you to the credits.
PS4-AIO Mod Tool Release + Console Tools Overview
Also to keep an eye on is the PS4 MacOS / iOS User RTE PS4 tools and API by MarentDev on Github.

ZCCM-IH fails to produce financial report for this year
The Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines-Investment Holdings (ZCCM-IH) has failed for the first time to produce its state o accounts for March 31, this year due to non availability of information from investor companies, according to the company secretary's office Friday.
But then the Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE) has since ordered the state holding company for the mining industry to publish an interim financial report as it awaits the publication of a consolidated one.
Company secretary Mr Chabby Chabala admitted that ZCCM-IH could not produce consolidated statement of accounts on the due date last March and regretted that this had to be so due to some problems which beset the company, not least lack of information from the investor firms.
"We regret the delay but this had to do with the non availability of information and data from the investor firms," Chabala said. At the same time he explained that an insufficient board of directors also contributed to the delay.
Explaining the circumstances further the ZCCM-IH chief legal advisor said delayed receipt of information from the investor firms on their state of financial accounts made it difficult for the accounting staff to compile and publish the final financial report on time.
"Delay of financial statements from the investor firms made it difficult or the accounting staff to come up with the final and consolidated statement of account," Chabala stated.
Again an insufficiently constituted board of directors where only two are in office after the membership f the other five had expired in July this year meant no-one could fully sanction the audit exercise to come up with the final financial report.
However Chabala expects government to appoint five more directors to fully constitute the board of directors this month-end and the consolidated statement of account to be out on October 31, this year.

Spotify's Amy Vale on defining career success.
Martin Bean CBE
Leading RMIT
What are your initial impressions of RMIT?
I'm only a few weeks in and we're on a fast track to build the new Strategic Plan. My initial impressions are: remarkable institution, inspiring students, incredible research and infrastructure.
I knew RMIT when I grew up [near Melbourne] – it was synonymous with edgy, industry engagement, solving practical problems, equipping students to get jobs, celebrating diversity, being courageous about focusing on areas of excellence in technology and design.
I'm so thrilled that that's the RMIT I found. I'm also struck how global RMIT has now become. It's so clear that in addition to having the same core values, RMIT has multiplied it impact many times over by taking the best of Melbourne and broadcasting it around the world.
What is your message to alumni at this early stage?
It's important for us to make sure that RMIT continues to be a distinctive, successful, innovative university in Australia and around the world.
To our alumni, that gives you something that you can be proud of, but also something that I hope continues to add value to you, in your life and in your career. We will do everything we can to make sure you continue to feel very proud of the institution that you graduated from.
As we go through our strategic planning, there will be lots of opportunities for you to contribute to help shape the next chapter of RMIT. I encourage you to contribute, because you will always be part of our community and family and you have a vested interest in making sure RMIT continues to go from strength to strength. I can't wait to hear what you've got to say.
What is the role of the Vice-Chancellor and what do you enjoy most about the job?
On paper, the role of Vice-Chancellor and President would be like that of a chief executive officer. But the role of a Vice-Chancellor is more than that: it's chief cheerleader, chief speech giver, you are the face and representation to major stakeholders, whether that's governance, private sector donors or alumni.
There's an expectation that you are fostering a community of scholars that is designed to be a check and balance in society. Universities are the creatures that are designed to ask the tough questions of our communities and our nations on the global stage, to make sure that people think deeply around the opportunities and issues that we face.
To a large degree they are also a major engine of innovation, economic development and growth. Without universities and tertiary education giving people the ability to develop skills and competencies, it's very difficult to have economic development.
For me personally, what I love is putting the students and the student experience at the middle of everything we do. For me there's nothing more energising than being able to get out and work with our students, making a difference in their lives, seeing our alumni go on and do breathtakingly successful and innovative things. That's what fuels me.
You previously worked at Microsoft, where you became General Manager of the Worldwide Education Products Group. What were your biggest learning experiences there?
Microsoft is interesting because it teaches you a number of really defined competencies and ways of working.
Number one is evidence-based decision making. You can have a brilliant idea, but you've got to be prepared to go away and put together the evidence and a compelling argument. You can do too much of that, you can get into evidence paralysis, but it's always important to have the courage to find the evidence to support what you're doing.
Number two is a concept which Microsoft called strategy review; don't just build a strategy – make sure that you have a structured process for reviewing progress and looking at what's changed in the external and internal environment. The courage to say, "Look, we thought it was going to end up this way, but it hasn't." And then to refresh it – invest more in some things, pull back from other things, change some things.
The third is – if you want to keep innovating in a large organisation with mature practices, you have to find safe spaces to invest for innovation to take place. Otherwise all of the systems and processes aren't necessarily geared towards stirring innovation and entrepreneurialism.
You need a rapid incubation area where you can invest for innovation and let things go. In those spaces, you can have a much higher risk tolerance, and you can do that because it's contained, you haven't put the whole institution on the line. That's where a lot of organisations go wrong, especially in hard economic times, is that they don't look for those safe places where they can invest.
How did you manage the transition from a corporate environment to an academic one when you were appointed Vice-Chancellor of the Open University UK (OU)?
The main thing is you've got to make sure – whenever you move countries, cultures or sectors – to suspend judgement and leave it at the door. You've got to really be prepared not to come in with a mindset that the corporate sector is "right" or that you should shape the academic world according to that. That's how you fail.
I just spent four weeks having more than 200 conversations at RMIT to understand it before I would even dream of having opinions.
Why did you create a platform for massive online open courses (MOOCs) in the UK and what was the result?
2012 became the year of the MOOC. In the blink of an eye, 18 of the top 20 ranked North American institutions started giving away their courses for free.
It became world news. It was a phenomenon. For those of us that had been involved in open education for a while and scaling through technology, it was clear that the disruption was not so much for the OU, but it was an absolute challenge for the traditional universities. Working with other universities in the UK, with the full support of the UK government, the OU took the lead to create FutureLearn [a platform for MOOCs].
The thing I'm most proud of – in addition to giving people all over the world access to brilliant universities and brilliant university courses – is that it's also helping those universities innovate and think differently around the provision of their core courses.
And that was what I learned at Microsoft – we found a safe place to rapidly incubate, do thing differently, do it together as a sector and then figure out how to use that information to help us improve our core teaching and learning.
Do you still need mentors once you reach senior management?
I think everybody, no matter how senior they are, needs to have people that you can turn to where you can go for honest objective feedback that you know will be delivered with a good heart and care – it's invaluable. It doesn't matter what position you hold or how much you're paid or where you live, human beings are human beings. We're inherently social creatures – that's why so much teaching is now around that shared experience.
So the adage – it's lonely at the top – it can be lonely at the top if you don't have people to turn to and just say, what do you think? Am I doing this the right way? Why do you think this is happening?
In modern management speak, we often think a mentor has to be a very formal thing through a formal process. The mentors in my life have never been that, and I've had many. Sometimes it's only when you look back that you realise that someone was a mentor, and that's okay.
I would encourage anybody to think about where you are in your career right now and think, who would be good to have a cup of coffee with every now and again, just to chat? Look for someone who just simply wants to give you time and energy to give you the straight scoop.
How do you define success?
When I'm doing career planning or mentoring someone, I spend a lot of time on this question. I try to get them to focus on their retirement party – where will you be, what will you have been doing, who will be in the room, what will be said about you? Deep down most people know that, they're just not used to being able to say it out loud.
I think I've been pretty true to myself all the way through my career. Success for me is being challenged in my role, being able to add real value, and having that as a shared experience.
For me success isn't an individual thing; the great joy I get is about the team. Sitting on the shelf in my office here, I've got photos of teams that go back in my career. The reason those photos are there is that they give me great joy. When I see those photos, it triggers for me moments of great success and that fuels me.
Ultimately for me, if you get the balance right with the things you do for work and the people that you love, and everybody comes along for the ride, and it works out for the best, that for me is success.
In a leadership role, how do you manage setbacks and build resilience?
You've got to have resilience. I get resilience from knowing that every decision that I make, everything that I do, I do for the right reason. Therefore, if others want to critique it, that's fine, feedback is really good and it's important that you're open to feedback and your organisation is reflective of feedback.
But the way I personally steel myself or build resilience is to just replay the movie in mind, and if I can satisfy myself, and colleagues can satisfy themselves that we did it for the right reasons, at the right time with the information we had available, then onward and upward.
So making decisions based on values?
Yes. Values are really important. And it's hard because there are times when values really get tested. Because sometimes there's the expedient, easier or less risky way forward. But inside you know it's not the right way forward. And often it takes an incredible amount of courage to do what's right.
I think that's why it's important having values, not just organisational values, but your own values, the way you want to live your life. These are incredible gifts to be the custodians of remarkable institutions for a short period of time. RMIT has been around since 1887. I will have the pleasure and responsibility of leading it for a very small piece of its future. It's important I recognise that, and realise that it's not about me, it's about the institution.
What are the personal values that drive you?
Everybody describes me as Mr-glass-half-full. One of my values is that there's no point identifying a problem unless you're willing to point out a potential solution. You have to learn from mistakes but that's more about gathering evidence. I am all about looking forward and problem solving.
I believe that it is important that you are upfront and open and transparent with people. You don't do any good by trying to sugar-coat things or speak in convoluted ways.
I have a very strong streak of egalitarianism. I think a human being is a human being, I don't care what they do, where they grew up, they are a human being and that moment that I am with them, I am going to enjoy it, and I'm going to treat them the same as I would treat anybody else. If you live your life that way, my goodness you'll have a remarkable time.
I'm also deeply committed to my family and making sure I play my role as a spouse in the household and as an involved father. I recognise that ultimately, my kids are my legacy.

Let's make a resolution this year to ALWAYS look CLASSY.
2018- A new year, A new beginning, A new you, A new FASHIONISTA in you!!!
As we let go of the beautiful 2017, We are entering into 2018. Let's make this year an year of Fashion. A year which will showcase all the new trends, new styles and craze for the fashion. Fashion is something that comes from within. Take a scarf, style it in 10 different ways and you would be able to build your own platform of Fashion. Let's curry up our style for 2018. Enter the new year with some new ways of styling things.
Ask yourself how you want to be dressed up? Don't copy those old ways of wearing your outfit.
Recently Shraddha Kapoor styled her skirt in a different way. That is exactly how you style in your own unique way.
Here are some tips on how to curry up your style in 2018,
-Shirtdress- Isn't it great when you get to have 2 different styles from 1 shirt? Earlier people use to wear the shirt with the jeans but these days people have started wearing shirtdress. Here, they make the shirt as a dress. These are mostly worn by people who like to wear loose clothes. Go grab the style before it becomes too common.
-Over knee platform boots- Boots are something that defines the winter for women. Gone are the days when you had to wear the normal boots. Over knee platform boots helps you style in a unique way. These can be worn with shorts as well, that's the major advantage of them. You don't always need jeans during winter. Get the over knee platform boots and wear those summer shorts with them. It's time to curry up your style this 2018.
-Accessories for ear- If you are the kind of person who loves accessories then you must try different types of ear accessories. Most people wear hand accessories or earrings. But, do try these ear accessories that would make you look different from the crowd.
-Carry the scarf in 12 ways- Do you just buy a scarf and carry it in the simplest way? Or do you use it to style yourself in 8-9 different looks? A scarf can be worn in many ways. Each way gives you a different look. Do different types of looks with different colors of scarfs and you would be all set to rock the party!!!
-The new nail art- Go get yourself the new nail art that is trending. Make your nails look more pretty by doing something creative on them.

04 The Secret
One of the Free kindle books available on amazon. It is story which tells The Secret is truly the most outstanding book to date that we have published. I am so pleased that Rhonda Byrne was able to bring together this life-changing information so masterfully. She first did it for the movie of the same name that she produced, which has been a phenomenon in its own right.
She then added, in only ones month's time, incredible additional content to the transcript of the film that brings even more clarity to the reader. This is absolutely a book that people from all walks of life can read and then "get" the concept of The Secret. It allows them to then take it and apply it to their lives.

Rhonda Byrne is dedicated to maintaining the integrity of The Secret and to making sure that now, finally, the whole world knows about The Secret.

Imagination amplifies and colors every other element of genius, and unlocks our potential for understanding and ability.
It's no coincidence that geniuses not only dare to dream of the impossible for their work, but do the same for their lives. They're audacious enough to think that they're not just ordinary players.
Few stories better illustrate this better than the life of the father of the modern world, a man of legendary imaginative power and wonder: Nikola Tesla.
In this book, you'll be taken on a whirlwind journey through Tesla's life and work, and not only learn about the successes and mistakes of one of history's greatest inventors, but also how to look at the world in a different, more imaginative way.

Aware that the Ayodhya royal trio are in exile he flies to Dandakaranya in the Lankan military aircraft, the Pushpak Vimaan. His mission? To capture the Vishnu.
For far will Raavan go to seek revenge?
Read this timeless tale to find out.
As the preview doesn't revealed much of the story structure, it is hard to say anything about the upcoming book. All I can predict is that the story will remain repetitive but will reveal more of the secrets as compared to Sita: warrior of Mithila. Amish Tripathi will meet everyone expectations for sure. Let's wait for the best book in this series.
07 World War one
One of the Free kindle books available on amazon. It is the story which tells World War One was one of the bloodiest wars in modern history. At its end, it had claimed over seventeen million lives.
It led to the collapse of nations, the abdication of monarchies and ended empires. Entire divisions of men perished in the pursuit of mere miles of uninhabitable wasteland––towns were pulverized and millions displaced. It became a horrendous war of attrition, each side competing to kill as many of their foe as possible.
Inside you will read about…
✓ 1914 – Blood Is Spilled
✓ 1915 – The Dawn Of The Industrialized War
✓ 1916 – Unrelenting Bloodshed
✓ 1917 – Revolution, Revelation and Catastrophe
✓ 1918 – The Great War At An End
It became the first industrialized war in history and introduced revolutionary technology into the fray. The Airplane, the Tank and the Machine Gun first saw action collectively during the conflict. It was also the first war in which poison gas was used to choke young men out of their trenches.
This book is a timeline account of the important events that shaped the First World War. It details the events and causes that led the world to war. This book covers the milestone moments, important battles, and how the outcome changed the world forever.
08 Secret Of the Himalayan Treasure
One of the Free kindle books available on amazon. It is the story of THE OLDEST SECRET SOCIETY OF INDIA. THE GREATEST TREASURE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND. THE MOST EPIC MYSTERY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.
When the richest man of India confesses to being part of a secret society in a live press conference; chaos ensues. His daughter Aanya Vashishtha takes the help of Aarav Kohrrathi, a brilliant but egoistic treasure hunter and his friend Rehann to solve the mystery of The Ring of the Seven. a society of influential men who are tasked to protect the greatest treasure in history.
What starts off as a quest to uncover her father's secret leads them to something bigger which they themselves couldn't have fathomed. They take help from her father's associate, Shayna Maheshwari, a billionaire banker and someone herself involved with the secret, as they progress towards a treasure hidden somewhere in the Himalayas.
They brave bullets, puzzles, deadly chases, cult of assassins, and betrayal as their quest takes them across the length and breadth of South Asia; from the bustling metropolises of Mumbai and Delhi to the ancient temples of Nepal; from the serene beaches of Sri Lanka to the towering mountains of the Himalayas.
They try to uncover a set of secret books of ancient wisdom, which are believed to reveal the map of the treasure, and strive to discover the identities of the masters of The Ring of the Seven to solve the penultimate mystery.
In a tale of love and loss, logic and emotions, religion and history, action and adventure, and the trial of a few good men against the most powerful organization in the history of mankind; will Aarav and his companions be able to uncover the secret of the Himalayan Treasure?
09 The three Musketeers
One of the Free kindle books available on amazon. This swashbuckling classic is set in Louis XIII's France at the same time as Descartes' wanderings took him in 1627 to La Rochelle, whose Huguenot occupants were being besieged by Cardinal Richelieu. Dumas's cardinal, one of the book's many real-life characters, is simultaneously laying devilish plans to be rid of d'Artagnan and his fellow musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis. I'd forgotten how complex the plot is, how relentless the action (you can't cut to the chase the whole thing is one long desperate chase on horseback, in postilions, aboard ships) and how outrageous the characters. There's no grey in Dumas's novels, especially where women are concerned.
The goodies, such as saintly Constance Bonacieux with whom our brave, penniless, honourable, hot-headed young hero from Gascony, d'Artagnan, is in love are purest snowy white. The baddies, represented by beautiful, treacherous Milady de Winter, once bigamously married to Athos and now working as a spy for Richelieu, make Madame Defarge look as dangerous as Miss Muffet. Sue Arnold, The Guardian

While not many New Yorkers know it, the High Line might still be a diamond in the rough without the Tiffany & Co. Foundation, which donated piles of time and money to bring the city's elevated park to fruition. So it's no surprise that NYC Mayor Bloomberg personally attended the ceremony to dedicate one of the park's most-loved features - the overlook - to the Foundation this morning. The newly-named Tiffany & Co. Foundation overlook is located at the southern end of the park and its glass-encased structure provides a stellar look at the High Line's structural framework, as well as views of Greenwich Village, the Meatpacking District, and the Hudson River.
Without the Tiffany & Co Foundation, there might not have been a High Line park. The foundation has been instrumental in helping Friends of the High Line raise the necessary funds not only to refurbish the original rail line but also to maintain it. In 2007, they also gave a generous gift that helped fund construction of the Chelsea Grasslands between West 18th and West 20th Streets.
Michael J. Kowalski, Chairman and CEO of Tiffany & Co.; Fernanda M. Kellogg, Chair of The Tiffany & Co. Foundation; and Anisa Kamadoli Costa, President of the Foundation, along with Friends of the High Line Co-Founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond all joined the Mayor for the cutting and naming ceremony of one of the park's most distinctive features.

Once inside, you don't need to insert the key into the ignition slot to start the car and drive off. Yes, you'll look like James Bond with this feature, but this feature isn't really a deal breaker. It's good to have, but not really worth the steep premium that most car makers charge for it.
Automatic climate control
Here is another feature that's meant to make people lazier. A regular air conditioning system works quite well, and keeps the driver alert. An automatic climate control reduces work for the driver, but adds a lot of complexity and cost. This is one feature that most cars can do without, and you won't even realize what you're missing. So there, automatic climate control automatically goes to the "not really necessary" list.
Automatic headlamps
How much effort does it take to flick on the headlamps when it gets dark? Well, some people think that it's too much effort. Manufacturers are only willing to play ball by adding automatic headlamps to the equation, and of course charge a pretty packet for it. An automatic headlamp adds complexity for a function that can easily be achieved manually. And it's more expensive to fix when broken.
India isn't Europe, and pollution levels in some of the bigger cities are among the highest in the world. We have the sun out for most parts of the year, and for the most time, it's uncomfortably hot. So, why have a sunroof at all? For people to hang out of it, and generally make a mess of the feature. This added complication will set you back by a few tens of thousand, and in some cases a couple of lakhs.
Beige interiors
Beige interiors add premiumness to a car. There's no denying this but in India, beige interiors also add a component of extra maintenance. Beige interiors aren't suitable for dusty and grime climes, in other words, India. Beige interiors get soiled very easily and maintaining them is a pain for most people who prefer to take care of their cars themselves. This feature is best avoided.

Zhang Haidi
The model status of Zhang Haidi (张海迪, Shandong Province, 1955), widely publicized in print and in propaganda posters from 1983 on, is an interesting one. Zhang Haidi, also known as Ling Ling, became a paraplegic at the age of five following four operations for the removal of tumors in her spine. When she received news that her illness was incurable, she was reported to have attempted to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills, an action usually considered as a betrayal of the revolution and as evidence of discontent with socialism and therefore as the act of a coward. She never went to school, but through diligent self-study, she learned to read books on politics, literature and medical science. She also learned foreign languages, including English, Japanese and German. She did not only function as a model because of her intellectual accomplishments or her devotion to serving others, but also because "... In Lei Feng, Chinese youths had to reach for communism. In Zhang Haidi, communism reaches for Chinese youths."
Her depicting that 'a cripple' could still function normally in Chinese society and even contribute to its modernization, was also clearly intended for all those who had been maimed and crippled during China's 'punitive expedition' against its southern neighbor Vietnam in 1979. The attention suddenly given to invalids even might be linked to Deng Xiaoping's son, Deng Pufang, who gained national prominence in the 1980s. Pufang ended up in a wheelchair as a result of a fall (or a push) from a sixth-floor window when he was subjected to Red Guard interrogations in August 1968, during the Cultural Revolution. As the Chairman of the Kanghua Foundation for the Disabled, he later was accused of shady business practices and embezzlement, and was forced to step down in the late 1980s.
Persons like Zhang Haidi did not necessarily have to be martyrs for the revolutionary cause or pay with their lives in order to attain model status, although this did help. They simply were visualized in their 'daily' activities, which were clearly designed to make the population feel proud of being a woman, or a Chinese.
Over the years, Zhang Haidi's shining example ceased to be held up, although she continued to play an advisory role in politics. As a member of consecutive sessions of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Consultative Conference (CPPCC), she remains an advocate for the rights of the disabled and for the improvement and accessiblity of public facilities for them. In 2001, Zhang, an avid internet surfer, was invited to act as the headmaster of China's first on-line school. China Central Television (CCTV) devoted a program to Zhang during the marking of the May Fourth Movement in 2002. Aside from her duties as headmaster, Zhang has become a writer and translates foreign literature with her husband.

My name is Joshua O'Neil and I was diagnosed with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID) in February 2006 at the age of fourteen. Finding out that you have a life altering immune deficiency is scary at any age especially in your young teens. However, I was lucky enough to have an amazing family unit who supported me through all of my home training and helped me to become independent when doing infusions at home. The team at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford were also excellent.
I attended Swansea University studying American Studies and History from 2010-2014, part of the degree course included an intercalary study abroad year in the United States. Initially I thought what a fantastic opportunity, it will be like living in an American film. However, what was explained to everyone was the need to be well organised and the need to plan! I remember thinking 'I would love to go, but…'. The word 'but' has continued to crop up throughout my life since 2009, initially I would love to go to Swansea University 'but' how will I cope living so far away from my family and without the team at the John Radcliffe being so close by, as they have been since I was fourteen?
I quickly settled in Swansea and found a couple of close friends who would sit with me whilst doing my infusion, friends who took an interest in the condition. Worst case scenario if anything was to go wrong I was only three hours away from home! I'd never been to America before and to say I was a little apprehensive is an understatement. I found out in December 2011 that I was attending the University of South Carolina. I immediately told the clinic nurses at the John Radcliff and Dr. Patel who liaised with a specialist in South Carolina, just in case I required any help whilst I was there.
So it came to booking flights, not ordinarily a stressful experience, however, trying to find an airline, which would take my blood product (Baxter Subcuvia) on board, whilst having to be refrigerated during transport, proved to be difficult. After many expensive calls to America I was set on flying with Delta Airlines, who allowed the product to be refrigerated on board. I also purchased a second bag of luggage to transport my needles and other essential products. Whilst still in the UK I liaised with my study abroad co-ordinator in South Carolina who allowed me to purchase a mini fridge – like the majority of American things this fridge was not mini for just $25. That was the transport and storage of my blood products whilst living in University halls sorted. When I arrived I went to the university clinic to pick up a sharps container, the nurses there were lovely and it was never a problem dropping off a container and picking up a new one!
I did an infusion just before I travelled to America, so that I had an extra couple of days to get to know people who I knew would be alien to my condition. However I couldn't have asked for three better housemates. All three were more than happy to sit with me whilst watching a film or just 'chilling out'. They never judged and were willing to go the extra mile to help me with any aspect of my condition and settling into American life, and without them the experience of doing infusions in America would definitely have not been so easy.

CDnow's Country/Folk section!
July 14, 1921. A jury found Messrs. Sacco and Vanzetti guilty of the South Braintree murders on the following evidence: Factory-window witnesses, who had previously identified other Italians as participants in the crime, swore that Messrs. Sacco and Vanzetti were the killers. But, twenty Italians said they had purchased eels from Mr. Vanzetti at the hour of the crime, and the Italian consul in Boston swore that Mr. Sacco had been in his presence at that time. However, the police who arrested them swore that they had drawn guns. This was interpreted as "evidence of guilt." The jury was asked to do its duty as "did our boys in France" -- an effective plea, considering the fact that Messrs. Sacco and Vanzetti were pacifists as well as radicals.
1921-1927. Motions for a new trial were repeatedly turned down while radicals flung bombs at many a U.S. embassy, while liberals such as Anatole France, Romain Rolland, Henri Barbusse, Fritz Kreisler, Albert Einstein protested against the injustice being done to the fish peddler and the shoemaker.
Last week in a Dedham courtroom, there was a scene, wherein seven years of emotion simmered and boiled over. The Supreme Court of Massachusetts had finally and flatly rejected evidence for a new trial on the grounds that there had not been a "failure of justice." Justice Webster Thayer, clad in black robes, with a face as still and as pallid as an ancient cameo, entered the courtroom to sentence Messrs. Sacco and Vanzetti to the electric chair. Bluecoats fingered sawed-off shotguns. Secret service agents with crimson rosettes in their lapels posed as Reds. Women sobbed. The clerk dropped: "Nicola Sacco, have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you?"
In the prisoners' box a clean-shaven Italian, with a high forehead and a son named Dante, stood up:
"Yes, sir, I, I am not an orator," said Nicola Sacco. "It is not very familiar with me, the English language... I never know, never heard, even read in history anything so cruel as this court... My comrade, the kind man, the kind man to all the children, you sentence him two times... and you know he is innocent... I forgot one thing which my comrade remember me. As I said before, Judge Thayer know all my life, and he know that I am never guilty, never -- not yesterday, nor today, not forever."The clerk droned again: "Bartolomeo Vanzetti, have you anything to say...?" The fish peddler was an orator:
"Yes, what I say is that I am innocent... I have never stole, never killed, never spilled blood... but I have struggled all my life, since I began to reason, to eliminate crime from the earth...
I would not wish to a dog, or to a snake, to the most low and misfortune creature of the earth -- I would not wish to any of them what I have had to suffer for things that I am not guilty of... I am suffering because I am a radical, and indeed, I am a radical; I have suffered because I was an Italian, and indeed I am an Italian... but I am so convinced to be right that you could execute me two times and if I could be re-born two other time, I would live again to do what I have done already. I have finished; thank you."
The year is nineteen and twenty, kind friends,
And the great World's War we have won.
Old Kaiser Bill, we've beat him once again
In the smoke of the cannon and the gun.
Old von Hindenburg and his Royal German Army,
They are tramps in tatters and in rags.
Uncle Sammy has tied every nation in this world
In his long old leather money bags.
Wilson caught a trip and a train into Paris,
Meetin' Lloyd George and Mr. Clemenceau.
They said to Mr. Wilson, "We've staked all of our claims,
There is nothing else for you."
"I plowed more lands, I built bigger fact'ries,
An' I stopped Hindenburg in his tracks.
You thank the Yanks by claimin' all the lands,
But you still owe your money to my bank."
"Keep sending your ships across these waters;
We'll borrow all the money you can lend.
We must buy new clothes, new plows, and fact'ries,
And we need golden dollars for to spend."
Ever' dollar in the world, well, it rolled and it rolled,
And it rolled into Uncle Sammy's door.
A few got richer, and richer, and richer,
But the poor folks kept but gettin' poor.
Well, the workers in the world did fight a revolution
To chase out the gamblers from their land.
Farmers, an' peasants, an' workers in the city
Fought together on their five-year plans.
The soul and the spirit of the workers' revolution
Spread across ever' nation in this world;
From Italy to China, to Europe and to India,
An' the blood of the workers it did spill.
This spirit split the wind to Boston, Massachussetts,
With Coolidge on the Governor's chair.
Troopers an' soldiers, the guards and the spies
Fought the workers that brought the spirit there.
Sacco and Vanzetti had preached to the workers,
They was carried up to Old Judge Thayer.
They was charged with killin' the payroll guards,
And they died in the Charlestown chair.
Well, the world shook harder on the night they died,
Than 'twas shaken by that great World War.
More millions did march for Sacco and Vanzetti
Than did march for the great war lords.
Well, the peasants, the farmers, the towns and the cities,
An' the hills and the valleys they did ring.
Hindenburg an' Wilson, an' Harding, Hoover, Coolidge,
Never heard this many voices sing.
The zigzag lightning, the rumbles of the thunder,
And the singing of the clouds blowing by,
The flood and the storm for Sacco and Vanzetti
Caused the rich man to pull his hair and cry.

Strengthening Individual Responsibility in Banking
Commenting on the publication today of the PRA's Supervisory Statement SS28/15 on Strengthening Individual Responsibility in Banking, as well as its Policy Statement PS16/15, and on the FCA's final rules and consultation paper CP15-22 on the same subject, Simon Lewis, Chief Executive of AFME, said:
"AFME has consistently expressed its support for measures designed to continue the improvement of culture and ethics in the financial markets, including the FCA/PRA proposals to strengthen bankers' individual responsibilities.
"We welcome the fact that the regulators have accepted a substantial number of the points we have made in earlier consultations. But a number of key points have not been taken on board. In particular, it is questionable whether the allocation of individual responsibilities is both proportionate, and also accurately reflects the way in which large international banking groups are governed.
"We still await the detailed proposals relating to foreign banks' UK branches, and the proposed further consultations on various important matters, including regulatory references, which have come out of the Fair & Effective Markets Review.
"All this will take time, and the current planned implementation programme is now even more challenging than previously. We would urge the regulators to continue to work together, and with banks, to establish final fair and effective rules in good time, so as to enable all staff to undergo the appropriate training and be clear as to their responsibilities. 7 March 2016 may no longer be a realistic commencement date for this key new regime."

A 30-year-old man has been banned from East Grinstead for two years after a string of offences and anti-social behaviour including a theft from a tip jar, police have said.
Callum Vincent Parker, from Boulthurst Way in Oxted, Surrey, was arrested on Thursday May 14 following a theft from a staff tip jar in Cafe Nero, High Street, East Grinstead, on May 7.
Parker was subsequently charged and pleaded guilty to the offence at the South East Surrey Magistrates' Court in Redhill on Friday May 15.
He was also charged and pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis.
The court heard that this was the fourth time Parker had visited East Grinstead town centre to commit crime and his convictions included fraud and handling stolen goods in April 2013 and thefts of charity boxes from Greggs the Bakers, New York Coffee Club and Cafe Nero in August 2014
Sergeant Graeme Prentice applied for a Criminal Behaviour Order under the Anti-social behaviour, crime and policing act 2014 which would prohibit Parker from entering East Grinstead town centre and surrounding area for a period of two years.
Parker pleaded guilty and accepted the order which came into effect on Friday May 15.
Sgt Prentice said: "Parker does not have any links to East Grinstead and the only times he is associated with the area is when he was committing crime here. His behaviour is regarded an anti-social and we believe he would continue to commit crime in the town unless he was banned."

Publication Date : 29-07-2015
The government of the United Arab Emirates has ordered the release from prison of 15 Filipinos and 834 people of different nationalities, the Department of Foreign Affairs announced on Wednesday.
The Filipino prisoners were among those pardoned by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ruler of Abu Dhabi recently as the Arabian Peninsula nation celebrated the holy month of Ramadan.
"I wish to thank the UAE government for releasing the 15 Filipinos from Abu Dhabi jails," Philippine Ambassador to the UAE Grace Relucio Princesa said in a statement.
"We have spoken to some of those who were released during our regular weekly jail visits, and all they wished then was to be able to be with their loved ones again in the Philippines," the Filipino envoy said.
"I am sure they are very grateful for having been given a new opportunity to start again," she said.
The Philippine embassy in UAE, a home to nearly 1 million Filipinos continues to remind its nationals across the Emirates to respect the nation's laws, as well as their culture and tradition.
It has supported recently the publication of a guidebook for overseas Filipinos in the UAE, in addition to hosting legal aid and seminars in the embassy on a regular basis.
A guidebook titled "Essential OFW Guide to the UAE" written by lawyer Barney Almazar and published by the Philippine Embassy in UAE was recently formally launched at the DFA headquarters.
The book given for free was seen as a remedy for most woes of the OFWs in UAE who get into trouble because of money, drugs and alcohol, illegal recruitment and possession of fake documents. SM

When determining the best homeowner's insurance company, there are loads of various factors that can weigh into the equation. For instance, many new householders assume that owners' insurance covers home systems like heating and air or different major appliances. Most owners are very conscientious and reliable people who would possibly by no means have dreamed they would ever be compelled to use for top risk residence insurance coverage or be faced with skyrocketing residence insurance premiums. It affords all kinds of discounts from new-house and multiple policies to a worth break for policyholders 45 or older.
• Start by doing what insurers explicitly give discounts for. Inflation Guard Endorsement Allows your insurance coverage company to mechanically change your policy restrict. Solely the best insurance coverage companies in Florida like ours have this observe. Currently, the company has its licensed areas in 46 states, and gives excellent service. Regardless of whether or not you reside in Selma or every other a part of Alabama, owners insurance is among the most necessary insurance policies you would ever own.
They also provide further protection choices that provide extra flexibility in the individual's coverage. Renters insurance like homeowners insurance coverage policies, the situation, age, kind and quality of construction of your property are significant components in determining your insurance premium month-to-month cost. Additionally they present prime notch customer service so their policyholders get the very best value for their premiums and rates.
Submitting a number of claims may even lead to your coverage being cancelled.
There is no such thing as a one-dimension-matches-all residence insurance coverage policy in Calgary Your home is as unique as you are – with possessions, features and value that are not the same as a good friend, household or neighbour. Insurance protection will start from the time your payment is obtained by the insurer. The bottom stage of insurance insurance policies, HO-0 is restricted safety that covers harm attributable to fireplace, smoke, explosions, lightning, windstorms, hail, civil unrest and automobiles. Which means it covers both injury to your property and your legal responsibility or legal responsibility for any injuries and property injury you or members of your loved ones trigger to other individuals.
Otherwise, you can buy flood insurance by means of The common federal flood insurance coverage premium in 2018 is $1,062, in line with the most recent figures The policy covers damage for up to $250,000. It's also the only company that provides discounts for signing up earlier than your current coverage expires and a reduction for brand new customers through the first two years they're insured. It permits you to choose the quantity of contents and renovation protection, which suggests you will solely pay for the coverage you need.
Insurance companies typically provide multiple reductions to lower the price of your premium. Some product issuers might provide merchandise or provide services by means of multiple brands, related companies or different labelling arrangements. Only current customers of the insurers on our lists have been surveyed, and the survey was not open to the general public on the web site. The decrease an insurance coverage company's ranking, the less financially safe it's, the better threat there is that it could possibly be unable to pay on customers' claims, and the less seemingly it will be well-liked by prospects.
If your home is in a excessive-risk space, you may possible have to acquire flood protection through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Location is likely one of the largest elements that impacts your owners insurance charges. While householders can buy this protection, which incorporates all perils in the HO-2, the remainder of the rental must have separate protection via the householders' affiliation.
Nonetheless, the amount of mould coverage often is capped at around $10,000. One method is by precise money value, this coverage pays value of replacing property minus its physical deprecation.

Looking backward...
History of My Hobby
Chemistry is still my favorite science, although it came rather later in high school. Three decades ago, I left
the subject with organic chemistry and the third edition of Morrison and Boyd. Over the past decade, I've gone back
to that tome, intending to get the subject down once and for all, so I can move onto phylsical chemistry and biochemistry.
I will be adding an essay on chapter 37 of that book, which is the ling between organic chemistry and biological chemistry.
My Background
I might also use this page to describe my own personal history regarding my hobby. For example, if I'm describing solving
problems, I might mention how I first became interested in chemistry and how I acquired my skill.

Artificial Diamonds Mod 1.12.2/1.11.2 for Minecraft adds into the game a new yet familiar material: the man-made diamonds.
The mod author has said that although he plays a lot of technology and machinery mods, he is very lazy to dig ore, and of course if he does not dig the ore he will not have the resources to use. Digging ores that are easy to find is okay, but for a lazy player, finding diamonds will not be easy, so that Artificial Diamonds mod was born.
Artificial diamonds can be crafted using the following recipe:
The special feature is that artificial diamonds can be used for crafting in the same way as normal diamonds (Ore Dictionary features). The color of the equipment made from artificial diamonds is naturally green like real diamond, not worry about being rated as "fake".

Workplace Communication: The Magic Formula For Working With Bullies and "Know It Alls" At Work
One of the most irritating aspects of workplace politics is trying to communicate and convince employees or co-workers who take a Macho attitude. Everyone knows how hard it is to develop and share ideas with someone who knows it all or has to be at the center of attention.
How many times have major decisions been made to assuage someone's ego or to prevent someone from losing face? Just listen to media interviews. When the interviewer asks if someone was surprised by the turn of events, rarely if ever will the person admit to being surprised. That would be saying that they did not already know everything there is to know.
All of us become Macho at times. Notice your reaction when one of your parents tells you what to do!
To make sure that even someone who has become Macho will consider your ideas, you could use the Macho Test as an editing technique. While I have formalized the Macho Test, you probably have already done something like this yourself to make sure your important messages get through to your employees or co-workers.
Before you speak or write, ask yourself have you stated or implied the following:
If any of the above are stated or implied, it does not pass the Macho Test! You may wish to rephrase as follows:
You probably already know exactly who the Machos are in your work life. From my years helping people solve communication problems, I have learned that most of the effort is in getting someone into a mental and emotional state of openness, where they will be able to hear what I am saying. When we are successful at getting people to listen and take us seriously, it is because we have pried open enough mental space in the other person for our words to go in. Don't believe me? Try it out for yourself. Once your communications pass the Macho Test, your employees and coworkers who you're addressing will stop being Macho and become more willing to participate in the free flow of ideas.

Vladimir Gorbunov - entrepreneur that has made Russian business believe in local outsourcing, and turned freelance workers into a never-ending source ofwork-from-home employees.
Crooked mirrors, swings, comfy sofas, an enchanting fluffy cat and chinchillas in a cage make the office of Russian start-up Workle seem like a friend's apartment. But don't mind the atmosphere – this is a place of blood, sweat and tears. Granted, nobody looks especially upset. Workle's founder, Vladimir Gorbunov, is a man quite literally possessed by his project and he has passed on his passion for his work to his employees.
"I only work on those projects that do not yet exist, but should. I'm not interested in other kinds of projects," Gorbunov explains. It is this kind of tunnel vision that has helped Gorbunov's company grow from an idea into a business currently worth more than $30 million.

It's nighttime in the City That Never Sleeps. We're having expensive drinks in the Blue Room bar and there's a buzz in the room — a TV star and his Broadway star spouse just sat down at the opposite booth.
But I'm not buzzing. I'm listening to the voices I'm hearing from the other room.
Dorothy Parker says, succinctly, "Brevity is the soul of lingerie," then shouts "Don't look at me in that tone of voice!"
She's speaking to Robert Benchley, who raises his eyebrow and comments wryly, "Drawing on my fine command of the language, I said nothing."
S.J. Perelman has fallen asleep but now awakens to declare, "Love is not the dying moan of a distant violin. It's the triumphant twang of a bedspring."
James Thurber summarizes the proceedings with "Early to rise and early to bed makes a man healthy, wealthy, and dead."
Yes, I'm in my element. Yes, this feels like home. Yes, I'm at the Algonquin Hotel. Yes, the ghosts of the Round Table are glad I'm here tonight — tonight, when everyone's ogling a TV star and a Broadway star, when no one sees their shimmering ghosts and no one hears their witty murmurs….No one, that is, of course, but me.

Home Truths: Anina Malherbe-Lan
Posted: 03 July 2017
In our #HLBWissue – on shelves and online now – we explore the home of Dr Michael Lan and Anina Malherbe-Lan. Old blends wonderfully with the new in their 160-year-old Victorian home, situated in the heart of Cape Town. It's a renovation packed with personal appeal, French-Asian influences and lashings of luxury. Tour their home on page 48 of the magazine and get to know its co-owner Anina Malherbe a little better below. The thing I love most about what I do for a living is that it doesn't feel like a job – it just comes naturally. It also allows me to use my left and right brain equally, and there is never a dull moment. When you deal with people, high-profile brands, and the media, you've got to think on your feet, and that's what I do best. My earliest memory of beautiful interior design is my own room while growing up. I started decorating my bedroom from as early as five years old. I used to change it at least once every season – I would stick colourful pieces of paper on my wall, change my dolls' dresses to match the season's trends and display different props and ornaments on my book shelves. One season it was pink and lilac, the next season was neon orange and green, and the next – my all time favourite – black and white. It kept me busy for hours at a time, and drove my parents crazy. My personal style is very dramatic. I dislike anything that's boring. I can do 'classic', but only with a touch of drama and glamour thrown in. My favourite local product designer is GOET for its simplicity, quality, and international appeal. My best place for inspiration is a good book store with the latest international magazines. I'm currently reading David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants [Little, Brown and Company] by Malcolm Gladwell. And I'm listening to Carla Bruni. My favourite go-to comfort food is Peking duck. Favourite restaurants include Indochine at Delaire Graff Estate in Stellenbosch, Marble in Rosebank, Joburg, and Villa 47 in Cape Town, which is a few hundred metres from my office and a great lunchtime meeting spot. My best winter indulgence is cozying up with my husband in front of our fireplace with a large mug of hot chocolate. I always have to travel with my antioxidants, and protein whey powder for healthy travel snacking. One country I've travelled to that I will never forget is Russia. The people are fascinating. Moscow, especially, has a sense of danger and unbridled opulence about it. Maybe I read too many Russian spy novels as a teenager, but Moscow has a way of making you feel alive. My next dream holiday destination is Vietnam, for its simplicity, and 'back to basics' appeal. I desperately need a break from the electronics that rule my everyday life. If money were no object, I'd treat myself to a private island and private jet for regular weekend getaways. When I was younger, I used to think that I was an artist. But when I hit my mid-twenties, I realised I was much more. I realised I was an entrepreneur and businesswoman, who happened to be creative. All I need to make me happy is good conversation and a glass of champagne. I'm at my most creative when I'm out in nature. Either walking in the mountains or along the beach. Nature has a way of clearing my mind of all the daily clutter and making space for fresh ideas.
