There is a distinctive difference between playing a political leader in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti and attempting to get the group to hear him out in Bihar. Hotshot Ajay Devgan learnt this the most difficult way possible, when on Friday a chappal was heaved at Devgn's parade as it advances toward a political rally in Lakhisarai. On Friday Devgan had been welcomed to the state by the BJP for a four-town visit in Parbatta, Jhajha, Lakhisarai and Rajauli.
The eager crowd got fretful and crazy at the rally in Lakhisarai. Devgn fled the rally without making his practiced speech. Later flew back to Mumbai on a chopper very soon. A BJP source said,
"It was wrong of them to ask Ajay to campaign for the Bihar elections. Ajay is not an orator. Nor is he comfortable with public interaction.What does he know about Bihar's politics? One can't just persuade stars to stand up and recommend candidates like that. It is unfair to them."
One thing can be said without a doubt, we won't see Devgn in Bihar sooner rather than future unless his friend Prakash Jha welcomes him to shoot for Raajneeti 2. Also, that is impossible on the grounds that Jha never shoots any of his Bihar movies in the state. More than any other person, he knows how uncontrollably excited swarms can get in inside of Bihar.

(KSBW) One of the busiest restaurants on Old Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, California has offended some parents when it posted a sign prohibiting strollers, high chairs, booster seats, loud kids, and crying babies.
The signs at Old Fisherman's Grotto also say that if children or babies make loud noises, they will be asked to leave.
By banning strollers, high chairs, and booster seats, babies would have a very tough time at Old Fisherman's Grotto.
The restaurant's owner, Chris Shake, said if customers don't like the rules, they can go somewhere else for dinner.
Shake added that he isn't backing down.
"If a place has the rules, that's what the rules are," Shake said. "You go in and abide by the rules or you find a place more suitable for you."

There is little in life as satisfying as a good blade. Knives are some of are simplest but most effective tools. Here we will outline the best tactical knives, both fixed blades and folders, out there.
Here is what you should consider at a minimum when evaluating what blade is the best tactical knife for your needs:
Blade Size
Consider what size blade you need. If you are in a defensive situation, you will have to consider what type of training you have and what you are comfortable with. Will you be slashing, piercing, or both? Also, what will you enemy be wearing? If they have body armor you may need a larger knife.
Typically, small tactical knives are generally between four to six inches. Anything larger will extend your reach, which will help in a defensive situation.
Knife (and Sheath) Weight
Consider how you'll use your knife. As they say, ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain. Truly consider how you will use the blade and how much you are willing to carry.
As a general rule, it is not a bad idea to start on the inexpensive side of the spectrum. That is not to say that they should be low quality, since there are a ton of knives that represent great value on the market today. Many times, more expense does not equate to more capability, and your understanding of what is best for your situation may evolve over time.
Best Fixed Blade Tactical Knives
When size and weight aren't factors, fixed blade knives are a great option. They are incredibly strong, with most having a full tang construction that has one piece of steel go from the tip of the blade all the way down to the hilt. They are also fast to employ in a combat situation since opening the knife is not required.
Ka-Bar USMC Fighting Knife
This has to kick off the list. This USA made knife is incredibly high quality and has a proven history. The Ka-Bar is an amazing practical general purpose design. The 7″ blade is great for most tasks that you encounter in a tactical environment (fighting, utility, field craft, etc). The blade thickness is perfect for providing adequate strength and cutting capability. Speaking of cutting capability, the blade comes out of the box incredibly sharp with a 20 degree grind. The blade follows through the handle with a full tang. The Ka-Bar is constructed with 1095 Cro-van steel. This steel is battle proven in the field and a fine steel that combines strength with an edge that is easy to sharpen. It is not the most rust resistant steel on the market, so keep it oiled and it will serve you well.
The blade itself is 7 inches long and the shape of is perfect for utility tasks, and obviously combat, which is the primary purpose of this knife. The Ka-Bar is also great at survival, but was not purpose made for it. Meaning, it will probably serve you well, but will not have as thick of a spine for batoning as some bushcraft blades. That tradeoff though still gives you a plenty tough knife with longer reach for the same weight. The 11.2 ounces this knife weighs is very efficient for all this knife can do.
The stacked leather handle has become iconic. However, depending on what your needs are it may not be what you are looking for. This is especially true if you are planning to use this blade around salt water or even prolonged periods in fresh water. The Kraton handle options are fantastic if you want an option that has a stickier grip and won't retain water. Either option is fantastic, but be advised on the differences so that you can make the best decision for you.
The only thing we don't like about this knife is the sheath. It is leather, which has a classic look. However, it feels outdated if you are planning to employ this knife in a modern tactical role. If you're going to place this on an tactical vest, rucksack, or some other system, consider the Ka-Bar made hard plastic sheath.
This knife might be the most iconic knife in the world, and it has earned that reputation being used by American forces since 1942. For the person looking for a tactical knife that is proven and will last generations, you won't find a better knife than this Ka-Bar.

Gerber Mark II
You probably recognize this blade, and that is for good reason. This dagger is legendary. This is a no holds barred combat knife. It is less than ideal as a survival knife, utility knife, and field knife. However, it is a kick ass combat knife. If you're looking for a big blade that doesn't weigh too much and feels balanced and is purpose built as a combat knife, this proven design is one to consider.
The knife is constructed of 420HC steel with a black oxide coating. The dual blade is purpose built for a piercing thrusting motion, so though this is sometimes marketed as a hunting or survival knife, in reality it is purely a tactical blade. But it is damn good as a tactical blade. If you want a more utilitarian blade, look to the Ka-Bar for a more practical choice. The Mark II's 6.6 inch blade features a double serration, which brings the total length of the knife to 11.6 inches.
The aluminum handle has a hilt that can be used to strike an enemy if you want a non-lethal option. The weight of this knife is 8 ounces, which is light for the reach of the knife. This knife comes with a ballistic nylon sheath, and there are aftermarket sheaths available. The sheath is nylon with a plastic insert and uses snap closures. The die cast aluminum handle is comfortable with plenty of room for a solid grip, and the knife is very comfortable and balanced in hand.
The Mark II also comes with a lifetime warranty from Gerber. Overall, if you want a legendary knife made in the USA for a purely defensive situation, this could be a great option.

Spyderco Fred Perrin Street Bowie
At a mere 6 ounces, this is a lot of knife. The versatility of this knife is really the underlying factor of it's success. The knife is made of Japanese VG-10 steel and is full flat ground. That combination results in a blade that holds an edge exceptionally well. This bowie shaped blade is really useful for utility tasks and as a defensive blade. The black finish on the Street Bowie looks great to boot, and the bowie design always looks good.
The ergonomics of the knife are very nice, with a large index finger choil and jimping on the back of the spine to really keep your hand in place. The knife is not quite full tang, but at about 3/4 tang, it is plenty strong. The handle is injection molded FRN with Keaton rubber inserts.
The polymer sheath that comes with the knife is great. Polymer, unlike leather or nylon, does not weigh significantly more when wet and is often lighter in general.
The thin profile of this blade lends itself to the person that values lightweight blades for agility.
Check Price on Amazon
Cold Steel Kobun
This blade is a hardcore tactical knife and is a great value for the price. It weighs in at 6.8 ounces including the sheath. This lightweight tanto is made of Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel. The blade length is 5.5 inches, bringing the overall knife length to just shy of 10 inches.
The knife has a full tang, but the handle is somewhat thin to save on weight. That isn't to imply that the knife is not tough, just a consideration in how you will use this knife. Make no mistake, it it a combat knife in close quarters, and it is perfect for that role. The handle is Kraton which is grippy enough and features a lanyard hole toward the end of the handle, which is about 4.5 inches long and affords a comfortable grip.
The sheath is a thermal molded plastic that Cold Steel calls Secure-Ex and allows for good retention, even if you carry the knife vertically.
This doesn't have the reach of some of the larger blades, but it is incredible light for people looking for a lightweight defensive knife. Cold Steel excels at making quality blades affordable and the AUS 8A blade here does the job just as reliably as knives that cost ten times as much. If you're on a budget but are looking for a quality knife that you can stake your life on, look at this tanto.

SOG Agency
Inspired by the Randall Model 1, this knife takes it cues from the Vietnam era and has become an icon unlike any other knife out there. It is a no apologies fighting knife that has beautiful proportions. The blade is very fast and balanced in your hand.
Like the other purpose built tactical knives on this list, this blade has the ability to reach out with a 7.5 inch blade on a knife that is about 1 foot long in total. It is also light at 9.6 ounces. The blade is hollow ground and made of AUS 8 steel, which is a proven steel in military blades.
The close quarter combat proven knife features a stacked leather washer handle that is epoxied. It also comes with a sheath equipped with a sharpening stone. The blade comes in your choice of satin or black titanium nitride finish. SOG also is a reliable brand that backs this blade with a lifetime warranty.
This knife is beautifully designed and has an amazingly rich history of being used by Special Forces and Navy SEALs.

Gerber StrongArm
The Gerber StrongArm is a great utility knife. Gerber has a long line of tactical and survival knives, and this is the latest in that evolution. The StrongArm uses 420HC as its blade steel covered by a diamond like coating to reduce glare and has a handle that is glass-filled nylon with a rubber overmold. The blade is 4.8 inches long and the overall measurement of the knife is 9.8 inches. The knife is a very reasonable 7.2 ounces, or 10.9 ounces when you factor in the sheath.
The sheath is modular strap-together sheath system and can be mounted vertically on MOLLE, horizontally on a belt, or in drop-leg fashion. The knife is made in the United States and comes in black and coyote, and offers straight edge or with serrations as options. The spine of the knife is sharp and works well. The rubber handle keeps a great grip, even with gloves. The steel could be better, but not at this price point. Overall, it is an outstanding value for a US produced knife.
The striking pommel at the base of the handle also has a hole for a lanyard, and could be effective at breaking surfaces in rescue missions or non-lethal strikes.
This US made combat and survival knife is a bargain for all the features you get with it, and it is little wonder it is currently so popular with troops across the globe. Gerber has a long history of making great blades, and they have made another in the StrongArm.

Best Folding Tactical Knives
Sometimes a fixed blade is not an option due to local laws, size constraints, or practicality. In those instances, there are reliable folders out there that have earned a reputation as reliable tactical knives.
Spyderco Paramilitary 2
The Spyderco ParaMilitary2 is one of the best folding tactical knives out there. The CPM S30V steel is great, and comes razor sharp out of the box. This knife is on the smaller size, but in hand it feels very capable. The blade is full flat ground and keeps an edge for a long period of time under normal use.
The overall length is about 8.3 inches in length, with a 3.4 inch blade. The blade is tapered with a very fine point for precision cutting, but Spyderco measures the blade thickness at .141 of an inch, or 3.5 mm. The blade is easy to deploy with a thumb hole that can be flicked open. The hole is large enough to accommodate gloved hands as well, which is a plus if you are a soldier in the field. The bushing pivot system is adjustable so that you can make deployment and blade retention exactly how you like it.
Closing the knife is also easy. Spyderco uses a compression lock on the PM2, which is located on the back of the handle. This is convenient and Spyderco argues safer, as you do not need to manipulate a safety feature in front of the blade where the edge closes.
The finger choil and jimping really make this knife ergonomic and feel very solid in your hand. There is even a thumb ramp on the spine of the blade to brace your thumb against for a solid grip. And speaking of grip, the G-10 scales on the ParaMilitary 2 is aggressive and will let you keep a firm grasp on the blade even with wet hands. The handle also has a clip that is four way adjustable. That is, you can put the clip on either side of the knife and opt for tip up or tip down carry. The handle also features a lanyard hole so that you can attach paracord or something similar to your preference.
The Spyderco is great and offers so much in a relatively small package. The knife weighs 3.9 ounces, and it is a challenge to find a more capable knife under 4 ounces. In fact, the steel liners have been milled to save unnecessary weight in the handle while keeping the knife exceedingly strong.
This knife is perfect for people looking for a lightweight knife that will handle everyday utility tasks and function as a tactical defensive blade if necessary. This knife is made in Golden, Colorado and backed by responsive customer service.
Check Price on Amazon
Benchmade Contego
The Contego folder is a tactical knife through and through. This knife was designed by Warren Osborne and made with CPM M4 steel. This steel is not stainless, but thankfully it is coated to cut down on corrosion.
This is the hardest blade steel Benchmade offers in a big knife. The handles are an aggressively textured G10 handle texture and a glass breaker on the pommel. The knife packs a big blade at 3.98 inches, and an overall length of 9.28 inches. The Contego is definitely not small and weighs 5.92 ounces.
The reverse tanto blade shape is aggressive but practical due to the elongated belly. Benchmade's AXIS lock system has been around a long time and gained quite a loyal following, so the lockup is secure and reliable.

Kershaw Ken Onion Blur
Designed by legendary knife maker Ken Onion, the Blur looks great. It is a large to medium sized knife that could be carried everyday (and often times is) but can easily fill a tactical role if the need calls for it.
The Trac-Tec inlay makes it easy to keep a grip on the6061-T6 anodized aluminum handle. Ken Onion does a great job with all his designs of finding ergonomically pleasing ways to fill the hands. This knife is no exception.
- Speed safe opener; Liner lock locking system
- Steel: Sandvik 14C28N, DLC coating
- Blade Length: 3 3/8 inches; Closed Length: 4 1/2 inches; Weight: 4 ounces
- Tip up or tip down pocket clip; Made in the USA

Ontario Rat Model 1
The Rat Model 1 is absolutely a wonderful value. When you first come into contact with an Ontario Rat 1, you will undoubtably think this knife costs more than it actually does. The quality of the knife is incredibly high, and it is finished nicely. This knife weighs 5 ounces, and is 4.5 inches closed and 8.5 inches when open.
The blade shape is very practical, and can be used as a defensive knife and a utility knife thanks to the blade shape. The blade itself is AUS-8 steel and comes in plain edge and combo edges. The knife comes with a liner lock with stainless steel handle liners.
Another great feature about the Rat 1 is because it is so popular, there are multiple coloration options, blade material options, blade coating options, and handle material options to choose from. If you are on a budget or just getting into knives and need a blade capable of doing anything for an incredible price, you can not fail by picking up a Rat Model 1.

Columbia River Knife and Tool M16-14ZLEK
This knife incorporates several useful tools in one package. This is our favorite option from CRKT's popular M16 line. It is the same AUS 8 steel with a black titanium nitride finish that the other knives in the line have, but it also features a tungsten carbide window breaker and a seat belt cutter that is worked in on the Carson designed flipper.
The knife is a generous size for a folder, coming in with a 9.25 inches overall length. Length is 3.75 inches on the tanto style hollow grind blade. The edge also features triple point serrations. The M16 uses a stainless steel locking mechanism that CRKT calls AutoLAWKS is easy to manipulate with one hand and feels robust enough to treat this folder like a fixed blade. Adding to that, the flipper doubles as a blade guard, which is a huge benefit for a tactical knife to make sure your hand does not slip onto the blade when making a thrusting motion.
The knife is robust, and weighs in at 6.2 ounces. The handles are constructed with glass filled nylon and features 420J2 stainless steel liners and solid glass filled nylon back spacers make this knife exceedingly sturdy. If you are looking for an all out tactical knife that has other tools necessary to break glass or cut seatbelts, look at this M16. Further, this knife is quite a value for offering all those capabilities in a very well thought-out design.

A former lawyer's analysis of the decision:
So that's the first pass here. It's hard to disagree with the arbitrator's finding of some violation. It's clear that the obstruction evidence presented by Major League Baseball was not terribly persuasive to him, as it amounted to only 12 games on top of the 150-game suspension. Finally, it's clear to me that the 150-game suspension was based on, at the very least, a unique interpretation of the Joint Drug Agreement.
I believe, ultimately, that Major League Baseball will win the lawsuit A-Rod filed today as his best arguments are one of interpretation of the Joint Drug Agreement, and that is not enough to cause a court to overturn an arbitration. But I do believe that the arbitrator's interpretation of the JDA was unsound and that the result — suspending Alex Rodriguez for a long time — was the tail that wagged the dog of his legal interpretation. That's what Major League Baseball wanted. It's what the arbitrator felt he should get. And he found a way to make it happen.
A way I do not believe anyone else ever considered before. Or, for that matter, should have.

The History of Hotel & Restaurant Management
Travelers throughout the world have always sought hospitable places to rest and eat. Although modern hotels feature conveniences such as televisions, en-suite showers and minibars, they fulfill the same purpose as ancient inns and boarding houses. The history of hotel and restaurant management goes back many years but has always involved the essential concept of hospitality. The term "hospitality" derives from "hospice," meaning a place of rest for travelers and pilgrims.
Inns for Travelers
From the beginning of the 17th century, enterprising individuals built and developed inns across America to serve the needs of pioneers traveling across the country. These inns initially offered only basic facilities, but then as competition grew, they began providing more extensive services for those prepared to pay more.
Modern Hotels
Modern hotels, built with the sole purpose of providing hotel accommodation, launched in American cities at the end of the 18th century. New York's first hotel, the City Hotel, opened in 1792. At the beginning of the 19th century, America's first five-star hotel, the Tremont House in Boston, began welcoming guests. Single or double rooms, featuring lockable doors, washing bowls and free soap, appealed to wealthy travelers. Many famous hotels, such as the Waldorf Astoria, opened in the 1920s. Over the course of the 20th century, business organizations and corporations took over ownership and management of most of the large hotels in the country. Hotel management training courses were originally broad based, but have evolved over the years to offer more specialized courses for students who plan to work in one of the many spheres of hospitality management.
Originally, simple taverns for travelers served a limited range of food and drinks in basic surroundings. In 1670, the first American coffeehouse opened in Boston, and served nonalcoholic drinks to customers. During the 19th century, an increasing number of restaurants opened across the United States in both cities and towns. Restaurateurs welcomed the wide availability of commercially frozen food during the 1950s, and this led to more affordable menus. The 1970s heralded the opening of fast food franchises, still popular today. The skills of restaurant managers have changed over the years, and most restaurant chains and franchises now run their own training programs.
In the Middle Ages, European monasteries and abbeys first opened their doors to offer hospitality to travelers. Over time, business people took over the management of many of these inns. During the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution heralded the opening of hotels in Europe's major cities. The owners of many of these hotels aimed to attract wealthy travelers by building intricate and ornate buildings. Throughout the 20th century, hotels sprang up across Europe in mountain and resort regions. The European hospitality industry is a growing industry and encourages its managers to develop an international approach to hotel and restaurant management.

Car Accident Leaves Mom in Jail, Child in Hospital
Eastman, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A car accident out of Dodge County leaves a mom jailed and her young daughter hospitalized. This was the result of the child abduction alert from Thursday in which lasted two hours. The four-year-old child was under DFCS custody in Sumter, Georgia. How she was placed in her mother's care is still unknown. The child was flown to the Medical Center of Central Georgia with a skull fracture. She was listed in stable condition as of Friday according to 41NBC. There is one more victim, a man, which was named in the accident. He is still in critical condition. The mother is facing possible kidnapping charges.

There's ONE assumption I'm going to make about your life in the city or town that you live and work in: You have a daily schedule that you adhere to, and while you are chasing your dream, you are also juggling a full life around it. That may mean going to a building to work your 9-5, or attending classes at your school, or even adhering to other frequent commitments that cause you to run all over the place. All of these actions AND places have identities specific to you. For example, your office can become a place of non-stop work and subsequent stress, and that's how you FEEL there. Also, your school can become a place of fun and socializing which can make it impossible to focus or be overtly serious there. Although these are just basic examples, one key to successfully chasing your dream is FINDING YOUR PRODUCTIVE PLACE.
Here is the ORIGINAL PLEDGE POST: http://www.thisisyourconscience.com/2012/08/tiyc-presents-the-52-week-pledge-i-challenge-you-to-get-closer-to-your-dreams/
So many people really think that all they need to do is go to the library, put their head down and bang out all their work and they will be GOOD. But the truth is, that specific library or libraries in general may NOT be YOUR productive place, which means you are effectively just wasting your time. The trick to getting things done, starts with finding the right PLACE to be focused on getting things done.
If there is one thing I've personally learned from working from home, it's that your home can be the WORST place to try and be productive. If you have a lot of people coming and going, or constantly bugging you, you will never find that lucid mind-state needed to give your goals the adequate energy and focus required to complete them. Also, your home has a FEEL already [all of ours do] and if that FEEL is not conducive to a clear and open thought-process, you are in A LOT of trouble. I knew my house had too many distractions and just an overall VIBE of procrastination to it, so I had to find a PRODUCTIVE PLACE.
For me personally, I found solace in a coffee shop near my house that is virtually empty during the day, has a good wifi connection and has employees not constantly badgering me to keep buying stuff. THIS has become my PRODUCTIVE PLACE. I encourage EVERYONE to find one, because when you do it limits the amount of actual time you need to commit to your goals, because your energy is so focused it streamlines your work. I encourage you all to think outside of the box when finding your productive place, because it is SO crucial to find somewhere where your mind is free to work at its best, or no matter HOW much time you put aside, you will ALWAYS
struggle to be productive.
Stay focused.
This Is Your Conscience

THE squash fraternity of Fiji is mourning the loss of former national champion Warren Yee.
Yee passed away at the CWM Hospital on Wednesday night after losing the battle against brain tumour.
The former Fiji Squash Association president was a renowned player and coach and also won the 2007 South Pacific Games gold medal.
He is survived by his daughter Alison Yee who said Warren wanted to play at the Pacific Games in Papua New Guinea next year.
"Before he got sick, he was talking about the Pacific Games and wanted to go as a coach but then when he started playing again, he wanted to go as a player," she said.
"But know that he is no more, I want to go in his place as a player to carry his legacy."
She said her father was her main source of inspiration and his passing would motivate her to become a better player.
Alison thanked the squash community for their support.
"They were there at the hospital before and after his passing. They have been really supportive.
"They even agreed to pay for hospital and funeral costs and we really appreciate their gesture."
The funeral will be held tomorrow.

TV appearance sparks row between diver's mum and swimming boss
10/01/2013 - 12:59:40Back to Sport Home
Tom Daley's mother has hit back at criticism of her son by British Swimming chief David Sparkes in a long letter published by the Daily Mail.
Sparkes this week questioned Daley's decision to front the television show Splash!, which aired for the first time last weekend, as an unnecessary distraction to his training.
Debbie Daley today responded angrily in a 1,600-word letter in which she claimed Sparkes – who has publicly criticised Daley before – could have lost his job had it not been for her 18-year-old son's bronze medal on the 10 metre platform at the London Olympics.
Britain failed to hit their medal targets in the Aquatics Centre, prompting a review into performances, with Daley winning their only diving medal.
"As far as I'm aware, Tom was one of the few major success stories for British Swimming this summer... and possibly one of the athletes that helped you retain your job," Mrs Daley wrote, addressing Sparkes.
"Others say that your performance was the worst of any CEO in British sport. Surely you should be thanking Tom and showing your support and gratitude?"
Mrs Daley also alleged her son had been demotivated by Sparkes' leadership and that he had not spoken to Tom since requesting he attend the opening of a sports park in Loughborough 18 months ago.
"I find it incredible that you want to criticise him so publicly, when he does so much for your organisation and for sport in the UK – and worse, you do it by giving your opinion without any thought," she said.
"You did not speak to Tom – or his agent – first. Is this a good way for a CEO to operate?
"It's also baffling that you openly criticise Tom when you yourself have called in special favours for Tom to make appearances (such as that eight-hour trip to Loughborough in 2011 when I last saw you).
"A leader should motivate his team, not make them think: 'Why do I bother?' Did you speak out to protect your UK Sport funding and be seen to do the right thing for them? Well, if UK Sport want to demotivate the key person in a sport, carry on David. Good work.
"While you may want Tom to do more training, I would like you to do leadership, media and motivation courses."
Immediately after winning his first Olympic medal in London, Daley dedicated it to his late father, Robert, who died after a six-year battle with brain cancer aged 40 in May 2011.
Robert Daley had been a constant at poolside during his son's career and had pledged to live long enough to see Tom compete at the Olympics.
"My bond with my son has always been strong but Rob was Tom's rock, friend and role model," Mrs Daley added.
"He would be spitting mad if he had read your media attacks on him over the past 12 months and would have given you a franker view than mine."
British Swimming did not want to directly respond to Mrs Daley's comments but did say they would "continue to work with Daley's family, agent and coach in ensuring he achieves his goals and potential".

The Public Schoolhouse Assessment FY 2013, the first report in Rhode Island of its kind, includes data and information on each of the 276 public-school buildings in Rhode Island, as well as recommendations on financing, savings, and efficiencies.
It is essential that every school building in Rhode Island must be a safe and secure environment for teaching and learning, said Governor Chafee. While we face a formidable challenge because of the aging infrastructure of many of our school buildings, our communities can also take advantage of resources and ideas that will save taxpayer dollars in the long run. The report we are releasing today contains many key recommendations, and we will work to help our school leaders make wise decisions about school facilities.
The detailed report we are releasing today will be a valuable tool for all of our communities to use as they make decisions about maintaining, repairing, or replacing aging school buildings, said Eva-Marie Mancuso, Chair of the Board of Education. We will do all that we can to help our local communities invest their resources wisely as they work to provide high-quality, energy-efficient school buildings for our teachers and students.
At present, according to the report, 68 Rhode Island school buildings are already in good condition and another 137 are in generally good condition. There are 39 schools rated in fair to poor condition and 14 schools in poor condition.
Most of the school buildings in Rhode Island (70 percent) were built between 1928 and 1978. The oldest school building in the state is the Alan Shawn Feinstein School in Central Falls (1861), and the newest is the Archie Cole Middle School, in East Greenwich (2011).
At RIDE, we are committed to ensuring that the State of Rhode Island and all local school departments invest taxpayer dollars wisely and efficiently, said Commissioner Gist. Our School Construction Regulations set high standards for quality, safety, and efficiency, which has led both to better school buildings and to taxpayer savings. I am pleased to say that as we have achieved these savings we have also ensured that all approved projects save energy, conserve natural resources, meet contemporary requirements for technology, and are easy to maintain.
The R.I. Department of Education (RIDE) has worked closely with all school districts during the process of approval of plans for school construction. Through this process and by adhering to the 2007 School Construction Regulations, which require efficiencies and energy conservation for all new construction and major renovations, RIDE and the school districts have reduced the average annual cost of approved construction projects from $182.7 million per year (between 1998 and 2007) to $74.8 million per year (prior to the 2009 moratorium on most construction). RIDE estimates that projects approved since 2007 have saved school districts about $90 million because of efficiencies in design, construction, and programming.
Districts receive state reimbursement for a portion of the cost of approved construction and renovation projects. The reimbursement rate varies, based on the poverty level of the community, and ranges from a minimum of 35 percent to a current maximum of 93 percent.
The report on school buildings is available on the RIDE website, at: http://www.ride.ri.gov/Finance/Funding/construction/default.aspx

Last month, State Education Commissioner John B. King Jr. joined parents, educators, and residents for a forum at Myers Middle School on the topic of testing and Common Core implementation. I wanted to share with you a letter I received from a parent in the Albany public schools.
Kristin Bonds, a parent who has children enrolled in the Albany city school district, wrote a letter to Commissioner King that captures several issues. Here is the letter in full:
Commissioner King:
Thank you for the opportunity to speak. My name is Kristin Bonds. I am a parent of three children who go to two wonderful Albany public schools – the Montessori Magnet School and this fine school, the Stephen and Harriet Myers Middle School. My husband and I choose these schools because they provide our children with a great education. We believe in public education because it is fundamental to the success of our society.
I am also a teacher at Schenectady High School. I want to respectfully tell you about damaging changes I have seen in the past few years as both a parent and a teacher in two local urban districts.
- I see larger classes;
- I see less money for supplies;
- I see fewer teachers and fewer class offerings;
- I see more administrators;
- I see unbelievable time, money and energy put into the new teacher evaluation system, APPR – the scores of which are highly flawed statewide;
- I see our Albany school district divided over charter schools. We want to be united in the mission of educating the children in this city, but we are forced to fight over charter schools because we can't bear to see any more programs taken away from our children due to our tax dollars being unfairly used to support the charter institutions;
- And now I see my own children taking test after test to the point of absurdity
Commissioner, I feel the need to tell you these things because there is a perception that you are disconnected from the realities our children face daily.
I would like to also offer some solutions to the challenges that public schools, especially urban public schools, face.
Please stop forcing districts to divert money to APPR, charter schools, and excessive administrative mandates.
Instead I recommend that we focus our limited resources on strategies that we know benefit students – like smaller classes, more academic supports, and community outreach that will engage more families and will result in more academic success.
Provide proper training to teachers in new strategies, like common core.
And finally, work with, and not against parents and teachers. We are willing to work very hard for our kids and our communities.
Kristin Bonds

Hi Arne, I tried some time ago to use FSO DBUS with QT-4.5, as i'm a new comer to qt, i've learned the basics with their online doc[1] and tutorials[2] and did googling a lot! Then i took a look at telepathy as a serious QT/DBUS real-life example. I tried to use their (telepathy) dbus proxy generator, but finally i gave up more by lack of time. The FSO XML specs has to be enhanced to ease the work of the generator... Anyway i will have to go back to this in few month as we will use FSO DBUS interface likely with QT in some incoming project within my company. If you find anything interesting about QT/DBUS/FSO, please share it! Have fun!

'I can't stop crying after my break up...'
I was in a relationship with a married man for the last two years and broke up with him recently...
Dear Diana,
I was in a relationship with a married man for the last two years and broke up with him recently. We met during a travel and tourism conference and we started hanging out after work. As we were working in the same field, we had lots to talk about. Initially, our meetings were work related, but I found myself extremely comfortable in his company. Gradually one thing led to another and he demanded sex. I then realised that he wanted to be in a relationship with me to satisfy his physical urges. He would disregard my feelings and whenever I would not give in to his demands, he would get angry and not talk to me. Then again he would be return. Last week, I decided to end the relationship with him. But I can't seem to stop crying. Was I in love with him? I miss him and want to be with him. I really do not know how to forget him. Ever since I told him that I wanted to end the relationship, he has stopped talking to me.
– Saiyami

Dear Saiyami,
You need to give yourself time to heal your broken heart. It will take a while. You cannot overcome it in a week or two, but it will happen. If you keep brooding about what happened and thinking about the time he spent with you, it will make it even more difficult for you to move on. You need to keep yourself busy at work so that you have no time to harbour any such thoughts. Immerse yourself in some creative pursuits. Let the man remain your past. He was having an extra marital affair. Things could have been chaotic had his wife and other family members got to know the truth. Before things got messier, you took a stand and walked out of the relationship. You miss him because he gave you attention. If you think about it logically and not with your heart, you will see you made a wise decision. Tough choice, but the right one.
Diana will solve it!
Write to Diana at firstname.lastname@example.com, or fax her on 24112009. You can also post letters to Dear Diana, Mid Day, Peninsula Centre, Dr S S Rao Road, opp Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Parel, Mumbai 400012

I'm just going by the release notes for the X3L drivers. V7.3.6 specifically notes the addition of Mavericks support. Can't explain why Mavericks sees your X3L at v7.2.9, but I expect its operation is problematic - else why would the 7.3.6 notes say what they say?

Coral Cabana, in the Coral Hammock Community is a gorgeous three bedroom, three bath townhome with over 2,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor living space. A tranquil pool view can be easily appreciated by relaxing on either the upper or lower balcony.
Coral Cabana was newly decorated in 2013 and offered at a terrific price for a winning combination and a great way to indulge in all that Key West has to offer. The kitchen furnishing were just updated in 2015. This home has three full bedrooms each with t.v.'s , as well as three full bathrooms and is offered at a terrific price for a winning combination and a great way to indulge in all that Key West has to offer.
Comfortably sleeps 6 - 8 people so it is ideal for a families traveling with seniors or couples traveling together.
The Master Suite is a king with en suite bathroom with a conventional tub/shower combination. The 1st floor bedroom has a queen size bed & full bathroom with tiled shower. The 2nd floor bedroom has two twin size beds (which can be doubled to create a King size bed) and a full en suite bathroom with soaking tub and separate shower. And there is also a queen size sleeper sofa.
With its gated entryway and lush landscaped grounds this home boasts panoramic tropical garden views and a convenient pool side location. The resort sized heated swimming pool invites you to soak up the sun while enjoying our island's warm breeze.
The Key West Golf Course is just a stone's throw away. For the boaters out there, Coral Cabana is also centrally located to 3 different marinas.
Everything was exactly as described- clean, nicely decorated, roomy and very comfortable for our group of 6 adults. Kitchen was very well stocked with whatever was needed whether we were cooking meals, heading out for the day, snacking on the back deck or hanging by the pool. Brian let us know once we arrived in KW that we could get in early, providing all instructions for getting through the gate and inside easily. It was Christmas week and there was even some festive decorations throughout the main living space to help with the holiday spirit! At first i was a little worried being a bit away on Stock Island but we rented a car for the first time in KW and explored areas that we didn't know existed, including Hurricane Hole and The Key West Golf Club. All in all we had an amazing week and look forward to our next trip!
Very clean and plenty of room. Great location.
We were a group of 8 - 2 adults, 3 17-year-old boys, and 3 17-year-old girls. We stayed for 5 days. We were a little tight. 6 would have been more comfortable. The place was clean, well decorated, and in good condition. Parking was convenient and always available right in front of the unit. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils, dishes, etc. It has a Keurig (yay), and there were some pods available. However, there were only 3 trash bags and 3 dishwashing pods, so we ran out before we left, and there is no maid service during the stay for it to be refilled. We also had to buy more paper towels and toilet paper (8 people . . .).
If you want to walk to a nearby restaurant or CVS, you need to take the pool/gate key - otherwise, you cannot get out of or back in the complex. I learned this the hard way. I can see not getting back in, but I was surprised I couldn't get out of the complex without it.
The king sized bed was not comfortable. Both my husband and I had trouble sleeping on it, and we can normally sleep on anything.
There is an upstairs porch as well as one downstairs. I spent time on both, and even in August, was comfortable with all of the foliage and the fan. The unit is well located in the complex, close to the pool, but not on top of it, so it is not distracting.
I would definitely stay here again, but probably not with a group of 8 and would sleep on one of the other beds.
The condo was absolutely gorgeous and in a great location. Everything was clean and there were lots of things that made our trip easier - beach towels, paper goods and washer and dryer. Our location near the pool and club house were ideal. Brian, the property manager, was extremely helpful, even checking on us about what time we would arrive. Air conditioning was at a comfortable temperature at time of arrival. He even left lights and TV on for us as he knew we would be arriving soon after our last contact. Being a group of ladies, we appreciated being in a gated community. Don't hesitate on this one!
We really enjoyed staying here. We were welcomed and well taken care of through our entire stay. Upon entering the condo we found a big welcome basket full of goodies from the owners. So nice and yummy! Brian was such a pleasure to work with. Very helpful and knowledgeable. We used the concierge service and was given great info on all the things we had interest in.
The house itself was clean, very roomy and decorated nicely. The kitchen was furnished with anything you could want. They also had a closet filled with pool/beach toys and games.
we grilled out on the huge gas grill on the back porch. Such a nice addition. Another plus is that it backed up to the pool area.
We didn't have any problems and hated to leave. I would recommend this to everyone! I hope we are able to make it back soon.
Thanks, Brian for making our stay a great one!
Coral Cabana was a beautiful home. We arrived a few hours ahead of the four o'clock check in and the unit was already cleaned and prepped.. we didn't do much cooking but the kitchen was well appointed and came with some staples, salt , pepper, spices paper towels, dish and dishwasher soap. Bathrooms were all good sized and very clean with plenty of towels and soaps provided. The only negative I would mention is that the ceiling fan in the downstairs bedroom was inoperable, not a big deal though.
Close to some small stores and hurricane hole marina, the area was very quiet, and seemed to be very family oriented.
Would definitely stay again.
Avoid the crowds and noise, this is a peaceful, private and gated community, minutes from all Key West has to offer.

LoveLinks Online
Looking for love online? Cupid Media own a number of dating sites under the LoveLinks brand.
The three LoveLinks dating sites are:
So what are the sites like, and who can benefit from these sites? Here's more information about the LoveLinks group of dating sites.
All the LoveLinks dating sites are pretty much identical in terms of features and their look and feel. Each site appeals to a different set of men and women. Here's a look at each site in turn.
Chinese LoveLinks
I really like Chinese LoveLinks – I've been a Platinum member for a year and I've actually met quite a few Chinese women with profiles on the site. I think this is one of the very the best sites for finding Asian brides online.
China has a vast population and the choice of woman on this site is simply staggering. There are also plenty of women from other countries. Hong Kong is well represented, although HK Cupid is a Cupid Media run site just for the Hong Kong dating scene.
Finding a Chinese wife is often complicated due to the fact that so few Chinese women speak any English. However, on this LoveLinks site you'll find more English speaking women than on any other site. All of the women I've met through this site have spoken pretty good English. They've also been well educated (every girl has been University educated) and were pretty darned smart.
The best alternative to Chinese LoveLinks is China Love Match. The quality of lady on China Love Match is staggering, but there aren't quite so many women to choose from.
Thai LoveLinks
I guess Thai LoveLinks and its sister site Filipino Cupid (formerly Filipina Heart) are the most Asian mail order bride type of dating site.
However, don't just think that the women on Thai LoveLinks are poor and uneducated Thai women who speak no English. Cupid Media advertise their sites on the Internet throughout Asia, and they've been very effective in signing up millions of smart and sophisticated Asian women. I know, because I've dated them!
Thai LoveLinks has a huge choice of Thai men and women to choose from. Of course the site is especially popular with Western men seeking Thai brides.
By the way, Thai LoveLinks has a very similar sounding competitor site called Thai LoveLines. This is also a Thai dating site, and quite a good one at that. But it's not Thai LoveLinks, and has no association with Thai LoveLinks!
Singapore LoveLinks
Singapore LoveLinks is aimed at the singles dating scene in Singapore. Singapore is one of the wealthiest cities in Asia, so it's not exactly a place where you'd look for an Asian mail order bride. So this site is much more popular with young singles who live in Singapore or who have a personal connection to the city state.
There are plenty of ethnically Chinese men and women on Singapore LoveLinks. There are also a wide range of other nationalities as you might expect given Singapore's role as a multi-cultural global city.
I think if you're just interested in finding a Chinese bride from any country then Chinese LoveLinks is the better site to use. I counted 73 Singaporean women between the ages of 27 and 37 with active profiles when I searched for them on Chinese LoveLinks. That's not a huge number, but if you add in all the Chinese women in Hong Kong and of course the People's Republic then you'll not run out of potential dates any time soon.
The downside to the LoveLinks sites is that they're as popular with scammers as they are with good and honest people. Scammers are common on these sites, so you need to be careful who you chat to. Personally I've avoided a lot of the LoveLinks scams by blocking chat sessions and not replying to anyone outside my chosen age range. Of course I'm not stupid enough to send money to somebody I've met on the Internet – that's the best way to avoid a nasty romance scam!
So if you're interested in finding a Thai or Chinese bride, then Thai LoveLinks and Chinese LoveLinks are well worth joining. Both sites offer completely free membership if you just want to browse profiles. If you think a Thai or Chinese wife is what's missing in your life then simply join for a month or two then you can chat to as many women as you can handle!
Singapore LoveLinks is worth a look if you're living in Singapore and want to find some local people to hook up with.

text: I have recently been told to eat no wheat. Easy to say. I'm not a cook. I would like to eat sandwiches (bagels, english muffins). Where can I find a 'wheat-free' bread recipe? I've read about flax seed and a few other wheat-free flours. Is there a conversion chart? I've also read that one shouldn't expect wheat flour consistency in the dough or the finished product. I can deal with it. Also, can any recipe be used in a bread machine or are they (bread machines) not a good idea? It's a little exciting, thinking about baking my own bread. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate any info.

The incredible journey I went on this summer offered me the chance to meet some amazing people.
One man in particular, Chris Strub of #TeamStrub has really taken it to a new level.
Chris and I met as we were both on our 50 & 48 State road trips. We connected over social media and talked about driving to Hays, Kansas to meet. But that would have been 500+ miles out of our way. We passed.
Luckily, we were able to meet later in Pittsburg. Chris at this point was 75% done with his 100 day trip to volunteer at 50+ youth organizations in every state. We wanted to meet as we were probably the only 2 people who could relate to what the other was doing. The quest. The hard work. The long hours driving. Not knowing where you would sleep that night.
We had a great time at dinner etc, but it was the fact we both got to share in each other's experience that made it special. I helped Chris dig up invasive trees at Pittsburg's Frick Park as part of his project with Pittsburgh Parks. What a workout!
Chris was able to join me in the Tesla to help tell his story that you can watch below:
After getting back to our "normal" lives, Chris reached out to me, asking for me to join him at Periscope Summit in San Fransisco. Periscope is a powerful new interactive live streaming app. It was January 14-17, a trip neither of us could really afford after our summer trips. He ended up flying to Phoenix and, surprise surprise, we road tripped in the Tesla all the way up to San Fransisco.
He blew my mind many times, but two in particular stand out.
First, Chris gave his Periscope Summit speech the way HE thought he should give it, all risks of looking foolish be damned. This is even after some people he really respected advised against it.
His idea was to ask people in the audience to further his cause of helping youth organizations by teaching those orgs how to use the power of Periscope to tell their story. He brought with him 12 of the organizations T-shirts from his summer trip. Chris wanted to give the T-shirts out to those in the audience who said "Yes, I will help." The first downside was the logistics of taking up most of his speaking time handing out shirts versus telling his story. Then there was the real risk of others not wanting to get involved in someone else's project. It was a BIG ask.
I was in the room where it went down as I held Chris's phone in the first row to live stream it for his audience.
It didn't look good from the start.
Unfortunately, Chris's talk was not labeled on the program, so unless you already knew his story there was no reason to go. Also, he was up against 2 other sessions with very well known Periscopers.
Rather than the 500+ people Chris deserved to be giving his talk to, there were literally about 12 people in the room. Talk about deflating. I was really wondering if Chris was going to stick to his plan. I know this isn't what he expected. Oh, and the audio didn't work for his video he was going to show. Did he let this deter him?
Hell to the NO.
Chris forged forward, with a passionate speech. So much so that nearly everyone in the room walked out with a shirt and a mission.
Un-freaking-believable. If you didn't walk out without the goosebumps or a tear in your eye, you might be a robot.
It's too bad more people didn't see it, but the small crowd would tell you Chris brought it just as hard – no matter what.
Incredibly, this was just a warm up for the greatest moment at Periscope Summit 2016.
Before the Summit, Chris befriended Piano man Dotan Negrin better know as @PianoAround and his girlfriend @FallonAshlee on Periscope even before they met in real life. Dotan doesn't just play the piano. He quit his job 5 years ago and has traveled to over 20 countries with the same piano, making people happy all over the world one performance at a time.
Dotan and Fallon drove their piano from NY to San Fransisco to give a performance on the big stage at 8:30 on Saturday night. Similar to Chris's disappointing crowd for his speech, it wasn't to be. There was a "scheduling glitch" of sorts. I don't know the details, but the bottom line his performance was canceled or postponed or whatever.
Did I mention they drove a van from NY to California to perform at the Summit?
A lot of people were rightfully angry. Chris would have none of it. Rather than complain, Chris and Fallon were determined to make it a positive. And ohhh did they ever.
The only place they would allow the piano was a tiny room that looked like a storage room with extra chairs etc. Are you kidding me?
It didn't matter.
The concert would go on. Soon, with Chris rallying the troops, the room was filling with people. Some of the biggest Periscopers started streaming it live. More and more crowded into the room, with thousands more watching around the world. Dotan started playing and was soon joined by some great singers, a sax player and even some beat box rappers. The room had that rare feeling that something special was happening and everyone knew it.
Then between a song, Chris grabbed control of the situation. He yelled out across the room, and explained that everyone Periscoping was to follow his lead. Everyone was to end their own stream and instruct their followers to jump on Dotan's stream so that he would get all the love on his stream. Chris wanted all the attention to go to Dotan.
Chris being Chris… shining the light on someone else:
Here's just one of the live Periscope sessions that captured the moment as it happened.
Is passion.
Is leadership.
That is turning a bad situation into an unforgettable one no one in the room will ever forget.
Thank you Chris, for making me attend and showing me what's possible with this new technology. And showing this slightly older guy that these darn Millennials are not all entitled slackers, but an impressive group of powerful leaders.
7 things I learned from Chris and the Periscope Summit in general
- Take a risk.
- Believe in YOUR vision.
- Leave it all on the table. Don't hold back.
- Give, and give, and give some more.
- Live streaming isn't about just showing people a sunset. It's about connecting with people. The relationships you can form through live streaming are real and very powerful. By networking, even in the comments with other commenters you can connect with others around the world. I was blown away at how excited people were to meet other Scopers they had never met in real life before.
- To get the most out of live streaming you have to not only broadcast, but watch and support other broadcasters. Share the great things you see with your followers. Yes, it's basic social media 101, but sometimes we forget the simplest things.
- I believe using Periscope makes you a better person, and makes the world a better place. I know it sounds corny, but it's true. It forces you to become a better speaker. Forces you to give value – if you are going to grow your audience, you have to. It reinforces good behavior and punishes the bad.
Needless to say, follow #TeamStrub on Periscope, SnapChat, Twitter, and everywhere else at @ChrisStrub. I'm excited to see what he does next…
You've set the bar high Chris. Keep on pushing.

From Chronicle Staff Writer Susan Slusser
I haven't seen much of Michael Wuertz, the right-handed reliever the A's obtained today from the Cubs, so I called an advance scout for a National League team who I knew would have seen Wuertz often
The scout tells me that Wuertz is a lot like Kiko Calero – "sliders and more sliders" – but he throws harder, 92 mph or so. The scout said Wuertz wound up in Lou Piniella's doghouse for some reason, and that's a tough place to escape from. So it's a move that should benefit Wuertz a lot, and the scout said, "When he's right, he's very tough on right-handers. He's a lot like Russ Springer was three years ago."
Wuertz, 30, is probably a 6th, 7th-inning guy, with newly signed Springer as a right-handed set-up man. While Springer wasn't signed because of Andrew Brown's recent season-ending surgery (the A's were talking to Springer before they knew of Brown's health problems), Wuertz does add some much needed depth in middle relief now that Brown is out of the picture.
The A's traded outfielder Richie Robnett and infielder Justin Sellers for Wuertz. Robnett, a first-round pick in 2004, had fallen behind several other outfielders in the last few years, in large part because of injuries. Sellers is a super defensive player who could be an asset if he can improve offensively.
I'm told the A's had talked about Wuertz with the Cubs several time before, so they have liked him for a while. He's out of options, but will be under club control for three years.
Oakland still might add a left-hander to the bullpen in the next week and a half. The team sent a representative to Andrew Sisco's recent workout, and Sisco, at 26, might fit what the A's are trying to do right now more than someone such as Ron Villone, who is 39 and who might not be looking for just an invite to big-league camp. Sisco – who is 6-foot-10 and 270 pounds – is coming off Tommy John surgery and might not be big-league ready until late in the season.

ELIZABETH JACKSON: Domestic violence is a serious problem for a number of Australia's Melanesian neighbours.
In Solomon Islands, World Vision and the local Anglican Church, the Church of Melanesia, are working together to try to address the issue.
Our Pacific Correspondent, Sean Dorney, prepared this report.
SEAN DORNEY: The statistics on abuse in the home in Solomon Islands are frightening.
KOISAU SADE: Two out of three women or girls, roughly 64 per cent, have experienced physical violence or sexual violence or both at some stage in their lifetime from an intimate partner.
SEAN DORNEY: Koisau Sade is a Gender Advisor with World Vision in Solomon Islands. World Vision is supporting the only women's shelter in the Solomons, which is run by the remarkable Sister Doreen from the Church of Melanesia.
SISTER DOREEN: Some have been through sexual abuse for a long, long time. I can tell some at the age of eight and that has been going on until they were 19. So you can imagine the trauma they have been through. But coming here they have slowly come back to normal because we were able to listen to them. And this is a safe place away from violence.
SEAN DORNEY: Some in the Solomons have quoted passages from the Bible to argue that men are the rightful heads of the household and that wives should be submissive to their husbands. But there's an effort now by the Church of Melanesia, supported by World Vision, to teach a different lesson.
The program, called Channels of Hope, is using the New Testament to combat domestic violence in a country where 95% of the population are Christians. The head of World Vision Australia, Tim Costello, has just attended a workshop in Honiara with the Archbishop of the Church of Melanesia and eight of his bishops.
TIM COSTELLO: When there is still up to 65 per cent of women reporting violence from intimate personal relationships, this is a major issue. And it's a major issue of addressing the culture that says, you know, "The boss man can discipline his wife even by beating her".
DAVID VANAGI: The workshop is an eye opener to us. Because in our mission we try to look after the victims of domestic violence. That's why we have this Christian Care Centre.
SEAN DORNEY: The Church of Melanesia's Archbishop David Vanagi.
DAVID VANAGI: In the rural areas, the women and children are victims of this but they keep quiet. They feel that if they come out with what they experience, then probably they'll be intimidated. So the church here in Solomon Islands, we have a structure from here in Honiara down to the villages. So we must use that structure to get this message down to the people.
SEAN DORNEY: One of the facilitators of the Workshop was Maclean Dlodlo, an Advisor on Faith and Gender in Development.
MACLEAN DLODLO: You would find that in many places where we have gone, people have actually said that, "We do what we do because even scripture agrees with the way that we handle ourselves as men and how we ought to relate with women".
By doing various sets of exercises, and that are very interactive, we come to a place where church leaders begin to notice that actually the teachings of the scriptures are such that the intent of God was to have men and women relate as equals.
SEAN DORNEY: Tim Costello says there's an economic lesson too.
TIM COSTELLO: To really beat poverty, you need women to be empowered. We know for every dollar a woman earns, 90 cents will flow to the children, for the benefit of the family. For every dollar a man earns only 40 cents will flow to the benefit of the children and the family.
Empowering women, letting them have equality in business, in the say over the family budget, is really important to defeating poverty. Violence that says to women, "You're just a servant; you don't have power; you don't have a say," is actually entrenching poverty.
SEAN DORNEY: At the Women's Shelter in Honiara Sister Doreen says many of the children who accompany their mothers are traumatised. She tells the story of how shocked she was when a five-year-old boy at the shelter threatened to burn it down.
SISTER DOREEN: He took a knife and a match and said, "Get out from the house! I'm going to burn the house now!" And I was standing there and I said, "A child!" You know, all he has seen, and all the time he has been through a lot of violence. And I was trying to ring the police, pretending, and then he stopped.
And I said to him, "You know, violence is not allowed here. If it continues I'm going to ring the police." And you know what he said to me? "Why won't you ring the police when Dad bashes Mum?"
ELIZABETH JACKSON: Sister Doreen, who runs the only Solomon Islands women's shelter, ending that report from Sean Dorney.
The full story...

Mr. Choo had sold his stake in his brand and the business way back in 2001. And exactly ten years later Tamara Mellon, the other co-founder of the brand and the brain behind the business is set to stand down from her position in the company. Jimmy Choo, the entire business along with the brand was sold to Labelux, the luxury firm, five months ago. At the time of the sale it was announced that Ms Mellon would stay back in a creative consultancy role along with the top management team.
In hindsight the arrangement seems to be temporary till the Jimmy Choo brand was integrated with the new company. The announcement, however has taken everyone by surprise and has raised more than a few eye brows in the industry. Labelux claims that the separation has been amicable and that Mellon who is basically an entrepreneur would go on to new things. As recently as last week Tamara Mellon was full of the coffee table book to be released, 15 Years of Jimmy Choo to celebrate fifteen years of the brand and its successful journey.
Labelux who has invested £525.5million to buy out Jimmy Cho apparently, has other plans for the brand and the industry experts feel that Jimmy Choo Ltd will witness a dramatic change of direction as part of a conglomerate. The brand could go totally mainstream and open up to a new set of followers in a more accessible sector of the market.Fashion observers will be waiting in earnest to see which way Jimmy Choo Ltd will swing. Watch this space for further developments with the luxury brand.

05/13/2014 04:17 PMPosted by BorI don't like having nameplates shown out-of-combat, because they add a hell of a lot of clutter -- yet they're invaluably useful in-combat (to the point of practically being mandatory in some encounters). If the dev team is dead-set on this change, can we at least have a built-in toggle for showing in-combat, hiding out-of-combat?
05/16/2014 04:49 AMPosted by Robut will this change have a significant impact on Tidyplates Threatplates?
No. Even downloaded it and tested it on the PTR to confirm.Specifically the functions that change a mob's nameplate color based on threat, that overlay a custom design to distinguish your current target, that allow for custom nameplate styles to specifically named mobs, or that change a player's nameplate color based on class?
None of that is being affected. Even the ability to scale individual nameplates based on threat is not being affected.
Things that are still fine after 5.4.8:
- adding stuff to nameplates (HHtD, PlateBuffs)
- changing the look of nameplates (Tidyplates, Aloft)
- turning nameplates on at the start of combat and off at the end (with proper events)
Things that are not working after 5.4.8:
- addons changing the listed default settings during combat, like which nameplate sets are shown
- addons using this loophole to choose what to cast and when
