I just wanted to know if using the extended property OSTagName was an issue? So that the rendered HTML is more semantic and better for SEO.
H2 example:Just leaving it to render (without the extended property)would give the output as a <span>inside a parent <div> any styling would be done using the Heading2 class. But wouldn't it be better to use the extended property and actually get out systems to render the element in the DOM as a h2 ? We could still use the class but it would render as an actual h2 element..
I was having a discussion with a Dev and they didn't think this should be used and just left? Personally as a designer , I don't see the problem and will be better for accessibility and following better web standards.
***I've tried posting the weekend (under my personal account) but my post keeps getting closed for some reason***
Hi Neil,
I'm going a bit meta here, but what do you mean with your posts "getting closed"? On the forum, there's no such "Close post" function, the most we can do is marking a post as the "Solution".
Weirdly this morning and over the weekend, i was getting a 'This post has been closed' purple error pop up when trying to access the post. Now it seems not to be happening.
Ok, thanks, I'll pass it along. It's a bug that's been popping up now and then.
I thought i was going mad... =)
Any feedback on my question would be greatly appreciated
Well, I must admit I didn't know the "OSTagName" extended property before, but I could give my $0.02:
Hope this helps :).
Yes it was only to get the rendered html tags to generate the actual <h2>, <section> tags etc rather that just a <div> etc
Better for accessibility, SEO and web standards
Well, there's nothing holding you back to use them, but just realize they cost extra effort, and are not used that much in the OutSystems ecosystem.

How To Feel Less Stressed On Election Day
We're nearly there. The election is in its last hours, and we've got to find a way to stay strong. It ain't over till it's over, but in the morass of media onslaughts, constant polls, threats, scandals, misery, social media insanity, and other various demonstrations of the most contentious and brutal election in American history, we all feel a little delicate. If even Kate McKinnon and Alec Baldwin can't keep up the facade of nastiness for satire on Saturday Night Live, those of us dealing with election anxiety are understandably allowed to be fatigued. A survey conducted by the American Psychological Association in October showed that 52 percent of Americans say that the election is "a very or somewhat significant" source of stress in their lives, and 56 of millennials say the same. So how can we take care of ourselves with so little time to go?
I'm presuming you have voted or made arrangements to vote before polls close. Let me repeat: I'm presuming you've voted or made arrangements to vote. If not, that's your choice — though I would remind you that the ability for women to vote in this country was established through decades of political struggle, and was in jeopardy for women of color for decades after the 19th Amendment was passed thanks to restrictive Jim Crow laws — so the least you could do for all the people who were knocked around, terrorized, arrested and punished is actually use the privilege they fought for. Your heard me, young lady. (Men: same to you.)
Beyond voting, though, you've got a right to some election day self-care. Here's how to keep yourself sane and safe until the results are announced, and in the aftermath.
Stay Off Social Media And Avoid Last-Minute Fights
Seriously. It will not help you now. If you're trying to convince the last few dregs of people on your list to vote for somebody else, or to quit being undecided, you may want to use your energy on better things. (If you're actively working for a campaign or getting out the vote with phone calls, this point doesn't apply to you.) Social media has been recognized by scientists for its tendency to increase stress, and Election Day is no exception.
Recognize your own weariness, connect to your fear and rage and anger, and try to take care of yourself. You may well be completely right, but if you really want to convince anybody without dragging yourself through the exhausting muck of another argument with Aunt Susan about The Wall, leave one last "THIS IS WHAT I THINK" post, and log off conclusively until the results are in.
Consider Staying Off All Media And Just Checking Push Notifications
Will watching the rolling polls coming in as results start to pop up across the nation's electoral colleges make you feel better? Probably not. You'll likely watch them anyway with the grim fascination of an engaged citizen who wants to know whether to start looking at emigration to Canada early. But right now, before all the votes have been cast, the media isn't going to help you (well, perhaps with the exception of this article, that is). If anything has been demonstrated by this election, it's that the polls can be the most terrifying thing short of a blood-stained child-ghost crawling in your window at midnight on Halloween.
The candidates aren't saying anything new; this is the point where they consolidate their messages and reinforce their voting bases. And while it may seem like there's a lot of news to contend with right now, chances are the media won't say anything that's actually new until the results are all in. If the FBI decides to throw in another bombshell now, you'll likely hear someone mention it IRL before you check your feed. Vote-counting hasn't commenced yet; you can't do anything to control the outcome; so get outside and go get an ice cream. If you're really anxious about being out of the loop, sign up for push notification alerts on a news app, and don't check the rest.
Make Plans Beyond Election Day
The world will not, as far as we know, end on November 9. Nobody has yet threatened to start nuclear war if a particular candidate wins (though I fancy that the stock markets will not be greatly pleased if Trump romps to victory). Either way, there will be consequences, and the nation will have to cope with them; and you, shining glimmering star of citizenship that you are, will have a life to get on with. The psychology of short-term goals has been discovered to be very important for happiness in general, and that's particularly crucial when the near future is so stressful. Make plans for Thursday, for Friday, for a week from now. Fix a point on the horizon that goes beyond the One Day To End Them All, and work towards that.
(Note: If one of your plans is "create violent riot if the result isn't what I want," don't do that. That is not self-care. That is also not particularly good for the democratic process in general.)
Give Yourself Permission To Escape
Now, if there were ever a time for it, is the time for fiction. The idea that literary fiction improves empathy may have recently been debunked, but one of the most effective ways to comprehend and understand this bizarre political situation is to look for it in the pages of the make-believe and see how things work out. Dystopias like The Handmaid's Tale or Brave New World will at least give you something interesting to use in comparison at cocktail parties in the future. Get into fantasy, where tyrants are clearly tyrannical and good guys clearly good; seek an antidote to the current political swamp with the clear lines of heroines and climactic battles. Hell, just do a bit of daydreaming; Psychology Today enumerates its psychological benefits at length, including the fact that it helps us defend our sense of self.
History is also an excellent place to go when you're in need of a bit of perspective. If you want some more empowering fare, you could check out The History Of Woman Suffrage by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other American suffragettes, Ida B Wells' The Light Of Truth, or even She-Wolves: The Women Who Ruled England Before Elizabeth for a perspective on centuries of serious women in power.
Know Your Game Plan For Both Outcomes, Then Try To Forget It
If your preferred candidate wins, what will you do? If they lose, what are your options? Set out your plan now so that it doesn't send you into a spiral of panic on the day itself. Then, file that plan away for later use and go do something else. If it will help you feel more in control, look up how to talk to your local politicians in Congress once they've been elected; collect some like-minded friends for a come-down brunch or dinner; buy some commiserating or celebratory treats.
Then get out of the house, go to the movies, get some sunshine and exercise, eat properly, and generally focus on the business of being a functional human being. The election will not go completely haywire if you're not there to watch it maniacally unfold in its last day, inch by desperate inch, towards the finish line. Research has indicated that self-compassionate people, who are very good at self-care, may be more likely to use distraction to cope with problems that cannot possibly be changed by their own intervention (i.e. a national election).
The exception to this is if you witness any attempt at voter intimidation or suppression at your local voting center. Call Election Protection and/or your local FBI field office to report any witnessed anomalies. And let's all hope that 2016 calms down after November 8.

A Simple Plan For Investigating Fulfillment

It's energy that will make or break the BRICs
The future of the world economy (including the global energy market) depends increasingly on how the partnership of the BRIC countries will develop. Of course Brazil, Russia, India and China hardly form a natural 'bloc', yet the BRIC acronym has acted to some extent as a self-fulfilling prophecy, corralling the four emerging economies into an uneasy alliance. But how far this partnership can go, depends more than anything else on the energy relations between the four countries, argues Matthew Hulbert. It is ultimately how they will play out their energy interests that will come to define - or destroy - BRIC relations.
|BRIC leaders Manmohan Singh (I), Dmitry Medvedev (R), Hu Jintao (C) and Dilma Rousseff (B)
On the face of it, the BRICs provide a perfect division of labour in the energy sector. Russia and Brazil are or will be key exporters, while China and India are the consummate consumers.
For Eurasia the logical tie up is obvious: Russia should become the hydrocarbon provider of choice for China. Brazil as the new energy giant of Latin America should also be well placed to feed Asian markets above and beyond the Western hemisphere.
On the demand side, China and India would clearly benefit from a cohesive Asian voice. The potential for a BRIC energy partnership is thus enormous. Russia and Brazil pump it up, India and China provide the receipts.
So much for the theory. The only problem is that no common BRIC vision exists on the energy front. Quite the reverse.
Take Russia and China first. Despite Russia's need to develop her East Siberian reserves and for China to import vast amounts of Russian hydrocarbons, Moscow and Beijing have found it impossible so far to strike credible agreements on gas volumes and price. Beijing has been far busier opening up new supply routes in Central Asia, trying to increase its influence in the region and reducing Russian clout. Prolific Middle Eastern and Australian supplies are also helping Beijing to drive a hard Russian bargain. Moscow has responded by dropping hints about LNG options for its Eastern fields to leapfrog Chinese markets. No one is fooled – China holds the arbitrage aces over Russia for now.
Brazil has played with a straighter energy bat, attracting considerable international investment into its pre-salt deepwater finds. But as the race for the Latin America crown heats up, expect resource nationalism to rise and strategic control of resources to tighten. Brazil might even go for OPEC membership, particularly if it is squeezed too hard by consumers.
For their part India and China are engaged in a hostile upstream battle to gain strategic ascendency in the 'Chindia' game. Delhi hasn't been able to claim many serious upstream stakes, as the Chinese have been snapping up concessions and equity deals far beyond India's reach. This while Indian import dependency is considerably worse than China's in percentage terms, which explains why the Singh government is giving serious thought to setting up a $280 billion fund to win upstream deals. Far from cutting India some energy slack, China is increasing its maritime presence in the Indian Ocean – the strategic resonance of which has not been lost on Delhi, which is all too aware that any land-based pipelines into India would need to traverse geopolitically vexed Afghan and Pakistani terrain.
The bottom line: BRIC supply isn't being calibrated to BRIC demand.
Energy-based cement
None of this would really matter, except that energy is pivotal to BRIC ascendancy. Everyone knows that since the BRICs were invented by Goldman Sachs economist Jim O'Neill, in 2001, they have been little
|The bottom line: BRIC supply isn't being calibrated to BRIC demand
Such an approach was all good and well for the first decade of the century, but with the Eurozone in a state of crisis and the US economy in similarly bad shape, the real question for the BRICs (and indeed the G20) is whether they are willing to step up a gear. Are they able and willing to define new rules of economic and political governance, or are they going to play out time and merely act as a hedge to the increasingly dysfunctional and discredited G7 way of (un)doing business?
If the BRICs want to get serious, then energy will be a core factor driving economic and political linkages across the respective capitals. Energy is not just one potential policy area where BRIC cooperation could be made to work, but arguably an essential component for mutual political gains and economic growth. Russia's structural hydrocarbon dependence means effective export strategies to the East are crucial to its international standing, and never more so than now, with internal political cracks appearing in Moscow. Brazil will need to use its resource (oil and biomass) endowments wisely if it's to become a global player. And irrespective of unconventional resources popping up in China and India, both nations need to import vast amounts of oil and gas to maintain domestic growth and enhance their international status.
True BRIC believers will no doubt point out that Brazilian and Russian supplies will inexorably lean towards Asian demand under the iron law of market fundamentals. That maybe so in the long run, but whether a BRIC bloc is still standing by that time, could well depend on reaching timely political accommodation on the energy front. The longer the BRICs go without energy-based cement to shore up political foundations, the larger the BRIC cracks will become. If they want to become a serious political entity, the BRICs will need to act with strategic purpose on the energy front.
Two-way street
All sides of the BRIC equation undoubtedly need to be factored into the energy debate, but China is the King on the BRIC energy board. China's energy footprint is truly global, its demand is enormous, and – not unimportantly – Beijing still has to work out what to do with its US$3 trillion reserves to kick its dollar addiction. It could do worse than channel more cash into BRIC markets with energy as the primary vehicle.
Yet BRIC ascendency will not happen if it is not a two-way street. Beijing will have to give India more room to sign concessions (and even joint ventures) to defuse tensions in the Indian Ocean. In turn,
|If the BRICs want to get serious, then energy will be a core factor driving economic and political linkages across the respective capitals
On the supply side, continued investment in Brazilian blocs from China would help to keep Brasilia in the BRIC game. China has already sunk $10billion into Petrobas. Making sure Brazil keeps a keener focus on BRIC designs rather than Venezuelan distractions will be a critical part of tying the Brazilian government into Chinese designs. The fact that there is already talk of an IBSA grouping along democratic lines (spanning India, Brazil and South Africa) rather than hardnosed interests, shows that Brazilian allegiance and acquiescence to BRIC (i.e. Chinese) ambitions is by no means a given.
But the real supply side clincher would be for Beijing to hardwire Russia into its supply mix. Swap agreements could be the key to resolving the current pricing disputes between the two nations, given Chinese oil majors' desire for equity stakes and Russia's clear need to make Eastern export strategies a runner. The positive side effect for China would be to reduce bilateral Moscow-Beijing tensions in Central Asia. From a BRIC perspective, status quo politics and security should be the overriding Sino-Soviet interest in the Stans, not fighting each other for strategic control over natural resources. The sooner Russia and China do serious energy business, the quicker Central Asian tensions will abate. India could then pick up any excess hydrocarbon supplies from Eurasia without treading on Chinese toes. Beijing would also be free to drive a harder bargain with other hydrocarbon providers once Russia is firmly on the books.
Risks for Europe
|Chinese paramilitary officer guards the Chinese-Russian border (Feng Li/Getty Images)
Where does all this leave Europe? BRIC growth might help to pull Europe out of the debt-ridden gutter to some degree, but from an energy perspective, it also creates major risks. The core European concern is that if Russia and China strike serious agreements on gas, then the potential for Russia to lord it over its traditional European demand base is obvious. Talking to Beijing about cohesive supply
|The core European concern is that if Russia and China strike serious agreements on gas, then the potential for Russia to lord it over its traditional European demand base is obvious
In any case, whether or not BRICs will ever form a more perfect union, there can be little doubt that emerging markets will increasingly define and redefine Europe's geopolitical, geo-economic and energy role in the world.The question for Europe is not so much what form this will take, but how to navigate a process already in motion.

Related: Terry de Havilland
I get massive shoe envy. Particularly when I'm on my luxury travels and want some fabulous shoes to complete an outfit then see THE perfect pair, only on someone else. This is the case with those gorgeous 70s block heel shoes we see today worn by the likes of Kate Moss, Cara Delevingne, Rita Ora, Jessie J, Lady GaGa and amongst others. Well, now I've figured out their secret; Terry de Havilland London Shoes. I need look no further!
Behind the Terry de Havilland Brand
The Terry de Havilland name has a fascinating history which dates back over 50 years. It was started in London's East end by bespoke shoemaker Terry de Havilland. Their huge breakthrough came in the late 60s when the then editor of Queen magazine, Annie Treherne, featured their iconic 70s block heel shoes in the magazine. Understandably considering what an awe-inspiring shoe this is, they were an instant smash hit. The shoe has continued to define and inspire trends in the fashion industry for the next decade and beyond.
Terry de Havilland himself was given a Lifetime Achievement award by the fashion industry in 2011 in recognition of his huge contribution. As well as being in shops, many of the iconic block heel shoe designs from the 70's are displayed in design museums around the world. The most famous being the iconic Margaux wedge, designed in 1973; it is a design classic and remains a popular star of the collection to this day.
Terry de Havilland Shoes Today
Lucky for us, the brand continues to thrive in the cutthroat world of fashion. Stocked throughout the world in some of the best luxury stores, it's the go-to range for head-turning shoes that add an extra dash of sass to an outfit.
For the classic jaw-dropping heels that MAKE your evening look, choose from a huge array of platform heels, stilettos, and wedges, all designed to impress and stand out. It's not just night time either, for a quirky and original look every day, there is a great range of trainers and flats too. And in the chillier months, their bold and beautiful boots complete any outfit.
The New Collection
The New Collection features stunning snakeskin prints, chic rose gold in a reassuringly-on-brand hit of glitter and the 80s is bought bang up to date with electric pink and turquoise Bowie-esque killer heels. The snakeskin numbers, which are actually python, come in the iconic block heel styles, as well as a very comfortable flat mule that loses no style-points despite its low height and are another favourite among the A-listers. The "Daisy Gold" which comes in metallic gold and faux snake leather is probably my favourite but it's very hard to choose just one! For hot summer nights, I've got my eye on the Ava Rose Gold; a glittered fabric and metallic leather shoe that stands at an impressive 11cm with a peep toe and delicate, slingback heel strap it's perfect for my luxury travels this season.

Life insurance, although not a pleasant thought for anyone, is necessary to see your family through your passing and beyond. Remember these tips so you can pick the right plan for life insurance.
Make sure you have adequate coverage when buying life insurance, enough to take care of your loved ones. You'll need your life insurance payment to be enough to take care of funeral costs, any outstanding debts, and school costs for your children.
You may find that life insurance premiums will be higher if your hobbies are high risk activities such as skydiving or drag car racing. There are also certain occupations which could be the cause of these higher quotes. Race car driving or being a helicopter pilot are risky professions, and insurance companies will charge more because of this.
When shopping for a life insurance policy, it is often best to stick with large companies that have a stellar reputation. An inexpensive policy through a firm with a poor reputation will not provide much security if they cannot pay out your policy in the event something happens.
Personal Information
When you seek online information regarding life insurance, remember to safeguard your personal information. Often, scammers set up fake life-insurance sites to gain access to people's personal information. The only information necessary to obtain an insurance quote would be your zip code.
Life insurance is a key part of financial planning if you have any loved ones who need your income for their support. Should you pass away, a life insurance policy can enable your spouse to pay off the mortgage or provide your children with a college education.
You can notice a difference in premiums of 40% from one company to another. Use a multi-quote website to browse quotes from multiple insurers in real time. Make sure the site takes your medical history into account, though.
Purchase additional life insurance for family members to save more money. By shopping carefully, you may find some policies that give you more coverage for less money, which can be good for your family financially.
When it is possible you should pay your premium yearly and not monthly. A good way to save money is paying the annual premium.
When researching life insurance policies, it is wise to do your own homework so that you understand the products, but it's also smart to cover all your bases by speaking with a professional. A professional will have a more accurate idea of what features and options will work for you; he or she can also answer any questions that you may have.
It may be tempting to take your savings out of a whole life policy, but this is almost never a good idea. There are many people today who are opting to terminate their insurance policies for cash. This is a waste of money and time. There are many other options.
Because this is so crucial to them, you should know all the relevant information so that you are able to select the right policy. Use the advice from the above article.
Many people want to find out more about [cb_profit_poster clickbank], but they don't know where to start. Luckily, you will be able to find all the information you need right here. Apply the data that you take in from this article to real life.

A list of potential celebrity endorsers given to campaign donors leaked to Nashville newspaper the Tennessean last week.
Among the 194 names: will.i.am and Black Eyed Peas bandmate Fergie, Arcade Fire, India.Arie, Sara Bareilles, Jay-Z, Counting Crows, Josh Groban, Alicia Keys, Jamie Foxx, John Legend, Adam Levine, Ricky Martin and Chris Cornell, as well as Hollywood and political heavyweights ranging from George Clooney to Emanuel Rahm.
Several artists have said they want no part of it, with Lady Antebellum's publicist telling Entertainment Weekly, "The members of Lady Antebellum did not submit their name for inclusion on the surrogate list for Obama's campaign… The band has never commented on their political affiliations nor do they plan to in the future." The Band Perry also announced that they hadn't made an endorsement.
"This was a wish list of people and groups who may be asked to participate in a campaign event," campaign spokesperson Addie Whisenant told the Tennessean. "Not everyone on this list has been contact or agreed to help the campaign."

Eight Hour Day
This is probably just what the software industry needs right now.
.comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}
bad timing :-)
By 4:18 pm, at
I think we not only need an eight-hour day but also a four-day week. What if we earn less? We will pollute less and maybe end up spending more time with loved ones and be happier... I see no point in working more to earn more, faster and then before we know it, our most important years of our life are over...

Long time no hear! It's good to see that you still make a post every now and then! I've decided to be more regular with my blog, figured it's one of the best ways to excecise my mind....! How was Rajasthan? I was there about 8-9 years ago and spent a night in the desert at Jaisalmer....divine experience!
Havnt read from you for quite some time now...
Renu: Why?
CV: What a profound thought. I trust that myself. I just came back from a short business trip to Finland and was amazed at how chilled out things are out there. People aren't stressed and they are not in a perennial hurry all the time like us. Definitely something we could learn.
Yeah...long time!
Scars: Welcome to the group (of people who have spent a night in the desert under the stars). Yes, I havent been regular with the blog recently and I have no excuses, really. I hope to get back into the groove soon though.
Kamana: YES!! I should be blogging about Finland soon. LOL, lets see when I get down to actually doing it. How are you though? Getting anxious thinking of the monsoons in Mumbai now? :P
8 hour day seems too long.. right?

If there's a celebrity bandwagon worth jumping on, it's that of Lupita Nyong'o. The Oscar-winning actress is the kind young, stunningly beautiful intellectual that America has needed to fall in love with for a long time. Remember the days when people like Truman Capote and Gore Vidal were held up alongside the most glittering famous figures? Seeing Nyong'o gracing television screens and magazine pages gives me hope that it's possible to return to a glorification of the smart along with the beautiful.
No, Nyong'o isn't an author. Her background is all drama.* But, unlike the norm in our current celebrity culture, she does not tuck her intellectual side away for the camera. Fans are falling all over themselves to see and listen to an accomplished, gorgeous black woman, and so far (though I live in a bubble) I have yet to hear anyone use degradation-laced accolades such as "articulate" when referring to her.
If you haven't fallen in love with Nyong'o yet (I think you must be crazy!), here is a video that may melt your reserve--especially if you were ever a young girl who thought that beauty was an unattainable lifesaver in an ocean of insecurity. This is Nyong'o speaking at Essence Magazine's Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon, where she was given the Best Breakthrough Performance Award. Get a tissue before you watch.

Key Note Address by Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong, Honorable Minister for Plantation Industries & Commodities, Government of Malaysia at Globoil India on 14th September, 2017
Mr Atul Chaturvedi
President, Solvent Extractor's Association, India
Mr. Jesus Silveyra
Joint Secretary, Govt. of Argentina
Mr Sandeep Bajoria- Chairman Globoil Managing Committee, Mr Kailash Singh and of course Dr Mehta
Honoured Guests, Distinguished Speakers, Members of the Press, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Namaste, a warm welcome, and a very good morning to everyone.
It is indeed an honour for me to be invited to speak at the 21st edition of the Globoil India. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SEA) for the invitation and please allow me to also congratulate you for successfully organising this event for the last 20 years.
2. I have been informed that today's event is attended by more than 1,500 participants from across the globe, with 100 companies exhibiting their products and services, and 40 speakers will be deliberating on various subject matters. This event establishes India's role and position as an integral component and an important global market for trade, manufacturing and utilization of vegetable oils and fats, more so the growing importance of palm oil in meeting the rising demand from the Indian consumers, trade and industry.
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
3. India's emergence as one of the world's biggest economic power house is reflected in its projected household spending exceeding US$300 billion by year 2020. With a large population of 1.3 billion, India has over the years become an important oils and fats market. Since oils and fats are an important component of the human diet, any increase in population density globally and changing consumer habits will lead to a higher demand and consumption of oils and fats. This is further fuelled by the rising income and expanding urbanization in India. India consumes more than 23 million tonnes of oils and fats or 11% of the total consumed globally. This makes India the largest importer of oils and fats, accounting for 18% of the total world's import of all oils and fats.
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
4. India is an important trading partner for Malaysia. In 2016, exports of Malaysian products into India accounted for 32.01 billion Ringgit (USD 7.60 Billion), making India the fifth largest trading partner for Malaysia. Malaysia's imports from India is rather diversified, and includes meat and meat products, sugar, rice, wheat, fresh vegetables and fruits, cotton yarn, iron, steel and metals, fabrics, machinery and instruments, electronic goods.
5. India, on the other hand, imports crude petroleum and petroleum products, palm oil products, electrical and electronic goods, wood products and chemicals products from Malaysia. Among all these imports, palm oil is the main commodity that plays a significant role in the trade between both countries. In 2016, the export value of palm oil and palm-based products to India was 3.13 million tonnes valued at around at US$2 billion. However, today we see challenges in maintaining Malaysian market share in India, especially with the recent changes in the duty structures of imported edible oils announced by the Government of India. However, Malaysia will continue to work closely with our Indian counterparts to invigorate new trade and business opportunities in the palm oil sector covering both the food and non-food sectors.
6. In terms of production, palm oil is the largest vegetable oil produced globally, accounting for 29% or approximately 59 million tonnes of the total oils and fats output of 204.6 million tonnes in 2016. In terms of global trade of edible oils, palm oil accounted for 55% or 43.7 million tonnes of the total 80 million tonnes of oils and fats exports in 2016. The palm oil industry has become the backbone of the agriculture sector in Malaysia. It has been recognised by the World Bank as a vehicle to alleviate rural poverty and provides employment opportunities to more than 2 million people, including 650,000 smallholders in Malaysia. Last year, the total output of crude palm oil from Malaysia stood at 17.3 million tonnes or 29.4% of the global palm oil production.
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
7. The development of the palm oil industry is not without its challenges. The cultivation of oil palm has been subjected to various unjustified claims from environmental organisations and consumer advocacy groups who claim that it contributes to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and destroys critical habitat for endangered species. It is vital to understand that there are many drivers of deforestation. For example, the Union of Concerned Scientists have established that livestock and soya are the major contributors of deforestation.
8. It is important to note that in the case of Malaysia, only 5.74 million ha is planted with oil palm accounting for 17.4% of Malaysia's total land area. Malaysia continues to maintain a forest cover of 55.2% unlike most developed nations, who cannot claim similar forest cover in their own backyards. Despite these challenges, the Malaysian palm oil industry will continue to work to enhance its sustainability credentials by proving its commitment towards sustainable development of the sector. The industry's well established track record is a proof that the palm oil industry has and will continue to focus on environmental protection.
9. To meet consumer demand for certified and sustainable palm oil (CSPO), Malaysia has established the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) scheme which will be made mandatory by 2019 for players in the industry. This will ensure that the smallholders can also participate in a certification scheme and find new export markets for their oil in future. The Malaysian Government's commitment towards sustainability is well reflected by the recent incentive of USD30 million provided for oil palm smallholders to enable them to obtain the Malaysian Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) certification. I look forward to working with my counterpart here in India to ensure MSPO is recognised by the Government of India so that you can also contribute towards sourcing and promoting sustainable palm oil from Malaysia.
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
10. This year, marks 100 years of Malaysian palm oil since its first commercial planting in 1917. It has been an incredible journey not only for the industry but also for the country. These achievement is also a testimony of the good relationship forged between Malaysian and Indian companies such as Tata, Birla and the Allana Group in establishing palm oil refineries in Malaysia during the early days. I would like to thank the Government of India and the Indian companies as this journey would not have been possible without the support and goodwill of important trade partners like India. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the Malaysian palm oil industry values its partnership with India and I am optimistic that this good relations will continue to prosper. After all, we share similar goals in sustainable agriculture that can reduce poverty, provide a better standard of living and a sustainable income for our framers.
11. Once again, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Solvent Extractors Association for inviting me to this event. I trust all delegates will benefit from the many papers that will be presented and the deliberations that will take place at this conference.
Thank you.
Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities
14 September 2017

Frostbite Round blows away the Christmas cobwebs.
Members braved a grey and chilly afternoon to blow away the Christmas cobwebs last Friday (28th Dec) with a Frostbite round at our regular outdoor shooting venue in Cambridge.
Everyone was pleased to re-fuel and warm up with hot chocolate and a mince pie at half time which also meant they could catch up with friends and find out what Archery related goodies Father Christmas had been leaving in stockings.
Check out pictures of the event here.

We're feeling ambitious at Lift after a much-needed holiday, and we are passing on the professional energy with an issue all about work. Admittedly, its not the most exciting-sounding theme. But we think we've put together some pretty good information for students who are now realising they might need to get a job if they want to make it through the year without going broke (page 4).
While we don't encourage our readers to follow the trend, we also sent a reporter out to investigate prostitution among Cambodian students and why it is happening (page 6).
You will find Kounila Keo's column about how we can eliminate poverty, some of the best comics from the 24-hour draw event held in Phnom Penh last weekend and a mini-bio on the young man on his way to becoming the first Cambodian-born F1 champion. You also get a post-Pchum Ben double dose of advice, some tips from an organisation at home and an inspiring email from a student abroad.

Listen to this article
In 55 minutes, this deadpan satire packs in more information than the back page of a pharmaceutical advert. We learn that in Scientology, a sect founded in the 1950s by L. Ron Hubbard, the path to enlightenment includes states of increasingly heightened awareness – Pre-Clear, Clear, and Operating Thetan – and that an OT can control matter, energy, space, time, thought and life.
But were this off-Broadway revival, concocted by Les Freres Corbusier (Alex Timbers and Kyle Jarrow), merely a lampoon of the religion of Tom Cruise and John Travolta, it would be a mere exercise in obviousness. The duo's Hell House, which sent up the scare tactics of some literalist Christians, suffered from just that shooting-fish-in-a-barrel strategy.
What makes Scientology engaging is its format: a school Nativity play. In a season groaning with Messiahs and Grinches, this chronicle with music figuratively speaking plucks the kids from the holiday audience and places them on stage. Their leader is a girl performer, Elizabeth Lynn, who plays a lisping narrator angel, imparting Hubbard's journey from hack science fiction writer to charismatic peddler of a self-help technique that excoriates psychiatry while borrowing from Freud.
Everyone else in this all-children cast vies with little Miss Lynn for worst-acting honours; the chances that any of them will one day triumph as Hamlet or Cleopatra seems as remote as the likelihood of meeting an authentic Thetan at the supermarket.
But if they were talented – if they had learnt how to stay in character and not constantly scan the audience, as if in search of a reassuring smile from Mum – they wouldn't make Pageant such a lark. The show, which amused me quite a bit more than South Park's Scientology send-up, "Trapped in the Closet", is a reminder of how amateur acting, like kids' football, can convey considerably more charm than the grown-up kind.

Long-tongued nectar bat
|Long-tongued nectar bat
|Pregnant individual in the Philippines
|in the Philippines
|Scientific classification
M. minimus
|Binomial name
|Macroglossus minimus
(É. Geoffroy, 1810)
|Geographic range of M. minimus
The long-tongued nectar bat (Macroglossus minimus), also known as the northern blossom bat, honey nectar bat,[2] least blossom-bat,[3] dagger-toothed long-nosed fruit bat,[1] and lesser long-tongued fruit bat,[1] is a species of megabat. M. minimus is one of the smallest species in the family Pteropodidae, with an average length of 60–85 mm. It has a reddish-brown colouring with relatively long hair compared to the other species. The hair on the abdomen is a lighter colour, and a dark brown stripe runs bilaterally down the top of the head and back.
M. minimus represents about 14% of the total fruit bats.[citation needed] Its wide geographical range includes Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, southern Philippines, Java, Borneo, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and northern Australia. In Borneo, it had been recorded from Kota Kinabalu, Sepilok, Sukau, and Tawau in Sabah; Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei; Bario, Niah and Bako in Sarawak; Gunung Kenepi, Kutai, and Sungai Tengah in Kalimantan.[4]
M. minimus has not been recorded in flocks, which suggest they live in small group or alone. It feeds on nectar and pollen, which it can obtain from mangroves and banana flowers in Malaysia.[4] Ecologically, the long-tongued nectar bat plays a major role as pollinator of many trees, including the families Bignoniaceae, Bombacaceae, Leguminosae, Musaceae, Myrtaceae, and Sonneratiaceae in peninsular Malaysia.[5] M. minimus has been recorded at elevations up to 1000 m near coastal mangroves,[6] in dipterocarp forests, and in lower montane forests.[4]
Of total captures, males constituted 53% and females 47%. About 77% were adults.
Sexually active males have enlarged testes, and polyestrous females have a breeding period of 140 to 160 days. Estimates for the gestation period for M. minimus is approximately 120 days (± 10 days), lactation occurs for 60 to 70 days.[7] In Negros Island, Philippines, females studies produced two or three young per year.[8] The species reproduces aseasonally (throughout the year) and synchronously in response to food abundance.[7][8][9][10]
External measurements[edit]
For young bats, the forearm grows at 0.24 mm per day and weight is gained at gain 0.07 g per day. A free-flying immature bat has an forearm length 35.2 mm and weighs around 8.6 g.[9] The length of the head and body in adults is 60–85 mm (with the head being 26–28 mm in length), the length of the forearm is 40–43 mm, and the weight is 12–18 g.[11] It is shorter and lighter than Macroglossus sobrinus.[6]

There are so many quotes from this book that have I've written down, but I narrowed it down to two to share with you. They are both related to motherhood.
"If I had begun in earnest to serve God when I was as young as these children are, how many wrong habits I should have avoided; habits that entangle me now as in so many nets." (p.50)This quote also has some Charlotte Mason (CM) undertones, with the reference of habits. But it's so true! We are creatures of habit and I believe wholeheartedly that it's our job as parents to do our best in training our children up in good habits. And of those habits, what's more important than training our children to think of God with love?
It reminds me of a couple of quotes by CM:
"The poor man endures anguish, is torn asunder in the process of recovery which his parents might have spared him had they trained the early shoots which should develop by-and-by into the character of their child." (Volume 1, p.104)
The child "depends upon his parents; it rests with them to initiate the thoughts he shall think, the desires he shall cherish, the feelings he shall allow...from this initiation will result in habits of thought and feeling which govern the man--his character." (Volume 1, p.111)These quotes are talking more about the character of a person, but I think they apply just as much to training our children in faith and loving and serving God. Of course, we can't control every thought and decision our children make, but we can do our very best to train up our children, knowing that God is faithful in our efforts.
Oh what a task we have!
Oh yeah, I have another quote!
"A young girls' mother is her natural refuge in any perplexity." p.42This reminds me of how much of an influence I have on my two girls; how they look up to me and admire me. How I hope to be to them what my own mother is to me - she is my best friend (besides my husband, of course, ha). I can go to her with anything and she will listen and love me and provide wisdom.
What do you think? I love to read your comments!

Attached is a drawing of Uranus I made last night. It took me a little while to find the planet amongst the stars of Pisces. In fact, I overlooked the planet in the view finder as seemed to be brighter than previously, this may well be due to me being more dark adapted.
Conditions were only average, and I alternated between x250 and x312. I had the impression of a brighter EZ, and probably a darker greyish region below it, but with these powers it is hard to be certain of anything.

Columbia museum lands major exhibition
The Columbia Museum of Art will announce a major exhibition of centuries-old landscape masterworks today.
"Nature and the Grand American Vision: Masterpieces of the Hudson River School Painters" - part of "Sharing a National Treasure," the New-York Historical Society's traveling exhibition program - will open at the Columbia Museum in November 2011.
The 45 paintings represent the best of a 19th-century New York art movement. That movement's coterie of artists, dubbed the Hudson River School because of their studies and reflections on nature around the river, gave voice to the American landscape.
Their work captured what America looked like, their attention to minute details of nature very similar to the vicarious eye Ansel Adams used to photograph the American West. The paintings suggest an ever-shifting balance between humanity and nature, development versus preservation.
Linda S. Ferber, a senior art historian at the New-York Historical Society and the exhibition's curator, refers to the artists' study of nature as visual poetry.
"It's also a style or a vision," she said. "It was the mainstream way of looking at and thinking about and interpreting the American landscape."
"Nature and the Grand American Vision" will travel to only four museums, including the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth, Texas; the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass.; and the new Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Ark. Columbia will be the exhibit's the third stop.
The collection is touring while the New-York Historical Society's galleries are renovated.
A piece by S.C. native Louis Remy Mignot is featured in the show. Mignot's "The Harvest Moon" is a colorful delight of early-evening quiet. The centerpiece of the exhibition, in scale and significance, is the five-painting series "The Course of Empire," Cole's dialogue on humanity's effect on nature.

Brian Atwood is a former model turned shoe designer. He designed shoes for Versace for five years before starting his own brand in 2001. He quickly gained success, and patronage from the stars including famous names like Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman. Brian Atwood's shoes are incredibly sexy, and in 2003 he was awarded the Swarovski Perry Ellis award for Accessory Design by the CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America). Brian's shoe designs have clearly been influenced by his experience as a model. The curve of the heels, the glorious textures, the exquisite styling and the impossibly high heels make his designs, in my view, fall into the category of "taxi shoes". That is, you only go out in them if you are being transported to and from the venue in a taxi. However, if you hold your head high and strut your stuff along the red carpet and you will look magnificent in these beauties.
Statement Brian Atwood details include concealed platform soles and spiky heels to make your legs look as though they go on forever, yet the platform sole keeps the shoes wearable. Thus they have become very popular with celebrities including Rachel Bilson, Selena Gomez, Freida Pinto, Eva Longoria and many more.
The Outnet have a small collection of Brian Atwood shoes at reduced prices. They are based in the UK but offer worldwide delivery.

Just starting your taxes? Here are 8 last-minute tax tips for insurance agents
If you're like many Americans (1 in 3, to be exact), you're likely putting off submitting your taxes until the last two weeks before the April 18 deadline. Some may call it procrastination; others prefer to call it "working under pressure."
However you choose to define waiting until the eleventh hour, help ease last minute scrambling with these eight last-minute tax tips for insurance agents:
1. Locate and compile all required documents. Dig through that pile of mail, file folders, and desk drawers to locate all of the following forms:
- W-2s—from your employer(s)
- 1099s—for independent contractors
- 1099-INT—for interest earned on things like a savings account
- 1098—for mortgage interest statement on a home loan
- Receipts—from any business, healthcare, and education purchases or payments
2. Make a deduction checklist. It's tempting to try to remember deductions off the top of your head when in a rush to file your return. That's why we're adding this as the second of our last-minute tax tips for insurance agents. Writing them down in advance will help you avoid overlooking anything that could result in a write-off.
One commonly overlooked deduction?
"Don't forget mileage," advises Irina Kranz, Arrowhead's director of financial planning and licensed CPA. "Consider the difference between IRS-allowable mileage rate versus actual expenses for vehicle use. If the vehicle is used primarily for business, you may want to deduct actual expenses. Consult your tax professional for advice."
It's also important to determine how you'd like to spread out your deductions.
"What's deductible this year alone versus spreading out the deduction among future years as a depreciable expense can greatly impact your decision for software as well as tangible assets purchase decisions," Kranz added. "There may be bonus depreciation deductions available this year. Consult your tax professional for more information."
3. Turn losses into wins. When itemizing deductions, don't forget to include realized capital losses, such as stocks sold for less than the price you bought them, mortgage or home equity loan interest, student loan interest, and business loans or lines of credit interest—all of which are deductible to varying degrees.
4. Contribute to an IRA or HSA. Contributions to an IRA or HSA are both tax-deferred and tax deductible, and you have until April 17 to make a contribution that counts towards this year's taxes.
5. Avoid last minute mistakes. It's easy to make rookie mistakes when in a hurry, but even the smallest of errors can result in a filing delay. Be sure to look your return over for simple math errors, incorrectly entered addresses or social security numbers, and to ensure you signed on all the dotted lines.
6. Watch out for scammers. Tax season brings all kinds of shady characters out of the woodwork who grow increasingly more clever in their schemes. Check out some of the most common tax scams this season below, and make sure you're protected with a free 24/7 credit monitoring service and making a point of not giving out any personal financial information to just anyone.
7. File online. Using an online tax service is faster than trying to book a last-minute appointment with your accountant who is likely fielding other last-minute appointments from other people in your same position. Filing online allows you to do so quickly last minute—and could possibly result in a faster refund as well.
8. Request an extension. About eight million Americans file for a tax extension each year. If you happen to fall into that category this season, use Form 4868 available on the IRS website. Extensions are generally granted automatically, and you do not need to explain the reason behind your request. The one requirement is that you request by no later than midnight on April 18. To be clear, requesting an extension is not requesting an extension of time to pay taxes, so be sure to pay as much as possible of your owed balance.
No matter your reason for procrastinating—ahem, "working under pressure"—April taxes don't need to bring May tears. Use these last-minute tax tips for insurance agents to prepare as much as possible within the available timeframe to avoid seasonal panic. Then sit back and welcome spring (and hopefully a nice return as well!)
Top 2018 Tax Scams
1. Phone scams: Anyone who calls you claiming to be the IRS is not. The IRS will never call, text, or email you out of the blue nor ask you to wire cash, provide bank information or threaten to arrest or deport you. Feel free to simply hang up if you receive a call like this.
2. Phishing: The latest twist this season consists of unexpected refunds deposited into your bank account using your stolen information. They will contact you pretending to be the IRS, requesting you return the erroneously deposited refund. Another email scheme is thieves posing as your bank, requesting you provide your account passwords.
3. Shady tax preparers: Most are honest; a few are not. If a tax preparer bases their fee on your refund amount, encourages you to take illegitimate tax breaks, or under-reports your income…take your business elsewhere.
4. Fake charities: Some groups asking for money operate under names that are similar to well-known charities. Ask for the group's employer ID number and enter it into the IRS Exempt Organizations check to verify qualified charities.
5. Identity theft: The good news is that tax-related identity theft is one the decline. The bad news is it still poses a substantial risk. Thieves will file in your name and claim your refund. Educate yourself on scams and never give personal information to untrustworthy sources.

Channel Insider's mission is to provide guidance and intelligence to the community, and we're proud to partner with CompTIA on the Vanguard initiative to provide deeper insights and analysis," said Lawrence M. Walsh, vice president and group publisher of Channel Insider.
The Channel Vanguard Council is the continuation of a longstanding partnership between Channel Insider and CompTIA, the leading international association of solution and service providers. Channel Insider and CompTIA recently completed a joint survey of opportunities in security products and services, and collaborated on the development of this year's Breakaway conference.
Channel Insider and CompTIA struck upon the idea for the Channel Vanguard Council as a means to collaborate on rapidly changing market conditions and the desires of CompTIA members to become more engaged in the community.
"We are gratified by the response in the last several months from channel executives looking for ways to get more engaged with CompTIA. The Channel Vanguard Council provides a home for those individuals who want to help shape the future of CompTIA and the overall channel community.

At the pelletising plant and i'm having a problem on the Kiln, especially when the load is increased. My question is what is the required speed if the tonnages are increased, this happen in a weeks time that caused the kiln to drift. The were damages incurred on the seal of the kiln and this created a down time on our production.
Axial travel of the kiln is caused by roller skew. Usually, for a fixed positive skew of the rollers, the kiln has a tendency to travel uphill with an increase of either or both kiln loading and speed of rotation. The roller skewing should be set to float the kiln at maximum speed and feed rate. Floating means moving gently between the thrust rollers. This is usually a very temporary, transient condition. As far as the speed and loading relationship is concerned I cannot be specific about that since I am not familiar with your process. One common practice, as in cement kilns for example, is to tie speed and feed rates together; as the feed is increased so is the speed. This results in a constant bed depth no matter what feed rate prevails. Other processes follow other conventions and so end up with different bed depths as the feed and or speed is changed.

Primal Bacon Chicken Liver Pâté
Pâté makes for a nice autumnal spread, doesn't it? Root vegetables to serve it with (instead of the usual bread), herbs, and mushrooms combine for a festive seasonal look. In addition to being pretty, pâté keeps well and wins convenience points: just slice it when you get home from work and voilà! You've pretty much got a chic, extremely nutrient-dense version of meatloaf.
Lastly, this is a one-pot meal (well, it's a one pot and a food processor meal), which I love. It's so relaxing to add the ingredients in intervals with only a bit of stirring every once in a while to keep the bacon from spitting and the onions from burning.
Primal Bacon Chicken Liver Pâté
Coarsely ground and rustic, this Primal pâté features chicken liver, bacon, mushrooms and herbs.
- 1/2 lb bacon
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 lb chicken livers
- 1/2 lb mushrooms (I used a combination of oyster and chanterelle mushrooms)
- 12 tbsp grass-fed butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Leaves from 1/2 bunch parsley
- Parsley and mushrooms for garnish
- Carrot slices for serving
- Roughly chop the bacon and fry in a large skillet over medium heat until lightly browned.
- Coarsely chop the onion and garlic, add to the bacon and cook until the onions are softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Chop the mushrooms and add to the bacon mixture, then add the chicken livers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they're cooked through but still slightly pink inside, 8 to 10 minutes.
- As the livers cook, add the butter, a few tablespoons at a time.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and season the livers with the salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cool enough to handle.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse 3 to 4 times, just until a coarse paste is achieved. Stir in the parsley.
- Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and scrape the chicken liver mixture into the pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the butter solidifies, at least several hours and preferably overnight.
- Turn the pâté out onto a serving plate, distribute the parsley leaves and mushrooms over the top, and serve chilled with carrot slices.

Can you do this with other kinds of liver? Grass fed beef or pork for instance?

I think it might work, but those taste far more strongly of liver. At least, in my opinion. If you prefer those, go for it!

really easy and it tastes delicious. The livers were not overpowering which was nice. I would never have thought to add mushrooms. I made this dairy free by using a dairy free spread and it worked well. Thanks for the recipe.

Human predicament is marked by ignorance (avidya), desire and aversion. How do we who are Brahman fail to know what we are? People are ignorant of their true identity as Brahman. We fail to understand our true nature. We are driven by desire for that which promises to fulfill the needs of our body and mind. Without liberating knowledge human behavior is much like animal behavior - being driven by instinctual desires and aversions. Ignorance prevents us from understanding the fix we are in. Suffering is caused by desire and ignorance. The ignorant man when consumed by longing regards desire as a friend; only after he experiences the suffering that is the inevitable effect of desire does he come to see that his pain was caused by his longing.
Thinking about sense objects will attach you to sense-objects.
Grow attached and you become addicted.
Thwart your addiction; it turns to anger.
Be angry and you confuse your mind.
Confuse your mind, you forget the lesson of experience.
Forget experience, you lose discrimination.
Lose discrimination, and you miss life's only purpose.
Bhagavad Gita
When things don't seem to be going well in our lives, we can redirect the flow of our karma. One recommendation is to participate in a ritual.
Rituals are performed with focused attention and the exact correct pronunciation of the mantra that matches the mental energy you are wanting to experience. In the Vedic tradition, thought energy is considered very powerful when it is focused intently.
Preparation: Gather a few people together at noon, the time of the most natural light. Sit quietly in a circle, focusing the breath. Release distractions on the exhale and focus on strength and centeredness on the inhale.
Manifestation: Light a white candle in the center of the circle stating the intention: to promote healing on the planet for the good of all sentient beings. The facilitator leads the group through a guided meditation in which each member becomes filled with light. Let the light expand and fill the circle, and then speak the names of anyone who needs a healing, imagining them in the center of the light circle. Once completed raise your arms and send healing energy into the universe asking that it may be used where it can be of service. Close by giving thanks.

Our Spying-Industrial Complex Needs To Be Reviewed
January 10, 2017 - The Daily Caller
Here is what we learned about this administration in the wake of purported Russian "phishing" of Clinton Campaign Manager John Podesta's email. Valuable DNC secrets were protected by an elaborate set of fail-safe passwords, namely "password." This followed years of high-level DNC meetings where attendees openly discussed their mothers' maiden names, the names of their first pets, and their favorite movies on their Facebook pages.The hacking of government computers has been going on for years. CIA Director Brennan's AOL account was hacked. Twelve federal agencies, including the White House, IRS, State Department and Defense Department, have been hacked just since 2009. To Obama, apparently this was no biggie.But if a hacker hacks DNC political hack John Podesta's Gmail account, then President Obama orders a very public investigation. If you cyber-attack government, that is OK and you get a stern warning to "Cut it out."Keep in mind, the DNC is a private organization; all of the twelve hacks mentioned above are our government. So hack our government and you get told by Obama to "Cut it out." Monkey with his political machine? Sanctions!The ever-petulant Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats. Trump is not even president yet, and he's already getting foreigners out of America. He has declared himself the best president-elect - ever!In essence, getting the intelligence agencies to doctor the Benghazi report - and arguably Bush's team spinning yellowcake and WMD stories in Iraq - show how partisan these agencies have become. Some intelligence group changed the talking points on Benghazi to blame a YouTube video so it didn't hurt Obama leading up to his re-election in November of 2012.The real lesson learned in the intelligence communities' intel report sweepstakes was to please the president when he asked them to look into this. They knew what he wanted them to say.In areas the feds do control, the IRS leaked Trump's tax returns. "Access Hollywood" tapes were disseminated without his permission but there was no interest in pursuing any investigation, because those incursions hurt their opponent.I'm walking a narrow plank here and might get arrested next week for questioning these clandestine agencies, but we should determine if we have too many of them. What's worth stealing from our government? You look at Joe Biden and cannot imagine someone wanting to know what he knows.A two-year investigation by The Washington Post, published in 2010, discovered a "Top Secret America hidden from public view and lacking in thorough oversight. After nine years of unprecedented spending and growth, the result is that the system put in place to keep the United States safe is so massive that its effectiveness is impossible to determine."The investigation's other findings included:

Acumen Fund and WaterHealth International: The Role of Venture Philanthropy
Acumen Fund was founded in 2001 to provide modest amounts of capital, together with business expertise, to help build thriving enterprises that would serve large numbers of poor people. In 2004, Acumen Fund invested in the Series B round of WaterHealth International (WHI), a company that was developing approaches for providing clean water to the poor worldwide. In 2006, WHI planned to launch a major initiative in India. It also planned a new round of fundraising to support the company's continued growth. The case provides background information on venture philanthropy, and on Acumen Fund. It also describes the problems associated with safe drinking water in developing countries, and WHI's approach to addressing those problems.
