Opportunities >20110602-ACP-Thematic-Observatory
After the conceptualization phase, the Internet Components of COM4DEV have been tendered out and are being developed.
In parallel, technical assistance to ACP Intermediary Organizations and Regional Organizations is being deployed to enable these organizations improve their capacity to apply and use ICT and best practices in their operations, and to enhance their knowledge and understanding of private sector development issues in order to better address them.
As part of the knowledge centre, a set of seven observatories will be put in place: one per ACP region (The Caribbean, West Africa, Central Africa, Eastern Africa, Southern Africa and the Pacific) and a pan ACP + EU one.
Observatories are a crucial component of the Knowledge Centre that will produce and disseminate information and indicators, helping the business community and investors in getting an up to date vision of business conditions in ACP countries.
They have a double objective:
Pacific Region countries
2.3.3. Target groups
Intermediary Organisations and other COM4DEV members, Economic Communities of the Pacific Region
2.3.4. Specific activities
The Consultant will undertake the following tasks:
1. The Consultant and/or the Management Team Member will be expected to attend the briefing and the debriefing meetings at the Commission's offices in Brussels.
2. Through (telephone) interviews and discussions with IOs and other COM4DEV members, beneficiaries and the private sector identify and validate thematic and sector-related issues of importance to the COM4DEV community in the Pacific Region. Possibility of travel for direct contact and meetings to verify capacities could be envisaged.
3. Formalize these expressions of interest/concerns and produce blogs/wikis/podcasts capable of generating responses and comments from stakeholders for posting on the PROINVEST e-platform/observatory
4. Train, mentor and motivate relevant staff of IOs and other COM4DEV members in the Region to independently identify, formalize and validate important thematic and sector-related issues of concern to them, produce the relevant content and publish these on the PROINVEST e-platform/observatory as blogs/wikis/podcasts
5. Edit initial blogs/wikis produced by IOs and other COM4DEV members with the aim of gradually integrating up to date information about sectors/topics brought in by people interested in these topics thus ultimately ensuring that the wikis/blogs assume the prominent role of educating and disseminating relevant and useful information among the COM4DEV community in the Pacific Region
6. Ensure that the information/communications officer(s) of the main regional Economic Communities are fully integrated in this assignment, by sharing with them all content produced and by involving them as much as possible in the production and dissemination of such content.
7. Organise two training workshops for two different sets of trainees, one IO identified to continue to function as Moderator, will participate in both training sessions (see below).
8. Any other activities that would seek to enhance the achievement of the key objectives of the assignment.
These activities will be carried out in close collaboration with the EC, COM4DEV team and the PRO€INVEST regional coordinators.
The Consultant must also observe the latest visibility guidelines concerning acknowledgement of EC financing of the project.
The consultant is expected to start the production on the basis of results already achieved in the programme or with other donors so to materialise existing knowledge.

Facilitated communication (FC) remains controversial and continues to have more detractors than enthusiasts. Yet this fascinating energetic relationship between the facilitator and the nonverbal autistic person is a mysterious, misunderstood connection that has benefits beyond mere communication. FC is a complicated process with many interesting components that demand open dialogue and further investigation. As a seasoned facilitator and energy worker with a deep interest in and appreciation for the autistic individuals I work with, I want to generate much more interest in the open discussion and study of this anomaly.
In FC, the facilitator provides hand or arm support to the nonverbal autistic person as he types. Once provided with this support, the autistic individual suddenly demonstrates previously unseen areas of competence. It is a startling phenomenon that leaves both parents and caregivers spellbound. Most proponents of the process suggest that the facilitator provides both motor and emotional support. They insist that the information being typed is coming solely from the typist himself. By contrast, detractors say that the information is coming from the facilitator, who unknowingly moves the typist's hand to the appropriate letters. On the other hand, when the typist strikes the keys without physical support, many consider him to be doing so independently. Neither proponents nor detractors of the process address the fact that the facilitator is still sitting next to the person typing, usually with an intense focus on the keyboard, and that without the facilitator's presence and focus, the typist loses his train of thought. The question is: why is the facilitator's presence and focus necessary? How does it help the typist maintain his train of thought? Some suggest that it has to do with emotional support. I do not pretend to know why it helps, but I do know that it should not be ignored.
My theory is that FC has an energetic component. I suggest that the typist synchronizes his brainwave rhythms with those of the facilitator. As he does this, the typist appears to become more balanced, organized and grounded than he was before establishing a resonance. The relationship can be compared to coupled oscillators, which begin moving in unison after a certain amount of time. A different analogy is that of binaural beats, two separate sounds that form a new frequency produced from the combination of the two. An EEG hookup between the facilitator and typist could prove if this hypothesis has merit.
I also suggest that the dynamic link between the facilitator and typist is similar to that which occurs between an energy healer and patient. The healer emanates a high vibration. In response, the patient raises his own vibrational frequency to match the healer's and in the process heals himself. In facilitation, I feel the typist and facilitator are also matching vibrational frequencies. But in this case, I suspect that it's the typist who is lowering his frequency to meet or blend with the facilitator's brainwave and body rhythms. In doing so, he both establishes and amplifies a telepathic resonance.
This synchronization of brain waves and bodily rhythms would explain the changes in focus and behavior of the nonverbal typist engaged in FC. Establishing a telepathic resonance is a vital part of the process. Once the typist and facilitator synchronize, the facilitator can encourage the connection by systematically slowing down his brain waves and bodily rhythms. The facilitator's relaxed, compassionate intention and focus support the typist in producing longer, slower brain waves, closer to the earth's vibration.
For example, I had lunch today with a severely autistic friend who was very excitable and disorganized. As we sat down at the table in the restaurant, she began to screech and throw her arms around. I sat across from her and encouraged her to put her feet on top of mine. In the process, we formed a resonance. I did this by initially matching her excitement and then lowering my energy by making my mind go blank and just feeling calming energy waves cascading down my spine. Within a few minutes, she was calm, balanced and organized enough to eat. If she had not responded, I would have taken her for a walk. The purpose would have been be to get her back in sync with my brain waves and body rhythm so she could relax. When asked about the process, she typed the following, with facilitated support: "It helps me feel very grounded and safe, like head is more connected to my body."
The so-called independent autistic typist needs a more energetic focus than the one who is given physical assistance. The facilitator's focus allows the typist's brain waves to slow down. Because of this synchronizing effect, the disorganized system of the typist becomes balanced. This energetic relationship and syncing of brain waves can support multiple areas of learning, not just dialogue. Motor planning activities and adaptive daily living skills can be more effectively learned when the facilitator and the unorganized system of the autistic person align. The autistic person feels safer and more balanced, grounded and protected by his partner than he does when he is energetically on his own.
Dr. John Zimmerman, founder and president of the former Bio-Electro-Magnetics Institute in Reno, Nevada, was cited in Life Technology News (2008) as reporting that spiritual, psychic and energy healers of all types worldwide usually connect with the Schumann Resonance, or 7.8-8 Hz alpha rhythm. The right and left hemispheres of their brains are therefore balanced. During the process of healing, the patient's brain waves also go into alpha and are phase-synchronized with the healer's balanced brain waves, thereby linking the patient with the pulses of the earth's magnetic field.
I suggest that the facilitator, like the spiritual, psychic or energy healer, may also be connecting with the Schumann Resonance. By matching the facilitator's brainwave frequency, the typist likewise goes into the alpha state, which assists him in balancing the right and left hemispheres of his brain. The facilitator grounds the typist by linking him to the magnetic field of the earth's vibration, which in turn makes him more comfortable. This process can be encouraged through taking walks in nature, spending time at the beach or listening to ocean waves, other sounds from nature or recordings of the Schumann Resonance. All these grounding activities help produce longer, slower brainwave patterns.
Both belief in the process and actual aptitude differ among facilitators with regard to their couplings with typists. This is evident in the fact that the communicative output between different facilitators and the same typist can differ.
In Life Technology News (2008), researcher Maxwell Cade discovered while using a computerized EEG power spectrum analyzer that unique complex brainwave patterns found only in advanced spiritual and energy healers became prominent in the brain waves of patients during the healing process.
It is my belief that facilitators may be receiving these complex brain wave patterns from the typist once they have learned to remove their mental limitations and truly listen. In my own experience, these complex wave patterns have resulted in enhanced spiritual and interdimensional communication and perception. In other words, the facilitator's perspective begins to expand through close contact and telepathic merging with the autistic individual. This aligning with complex wave patterns differs from using FC to slow down the autistic person's brain waves in order to increase his bodily balance. Both are significant and can be practiced either by themselves or simultaneously depending on the facilitator's interest, understanding and aptitude. Perhaps these complex brain waves could be identified by the above-mentioned EEG power spectrum analyzer, thereby helping us to understand the frequently reported mystical aspects of the FC process.
The extent of the typist's ability to communicate is dependent on the facilitator's knowledge base and vocabulary. For example, by pairing the typist with a good facilitator who is also a mathematician, the typist would be likely to manifest competence in mathematics. On the other hand, when paired with a facilitator with limited mathematical understanding, the typist is unable to perform at the same mathematical level. Does this imply that the facilitator's lack of knowledge creates a handicap? And does this interference affect the synchronization of brain waves and prevent the typist from continuing? An EEG of both the facilitator and the typist could help us understand the effect of interference.
During FC, the typist can be very suggestible. The facilitator needs to be aware of this possibility and treat sensitive information accordingly.
I have barely touched on the energetics of FC. Rapid Prompting Method (RPM) and facilitated communication share the same telepathic and energetic component. With regard to this, there is much to dissect and explore on a deeper level. Until then, I suggest that the facilitator listen intently, focus on the task at hand, expect competence from the autistic individual, let go of limiting beliefs, and in the process watch the person he is serving become happier and more balanced. It is best to not worry about the source of the communication, meaning whether the information is being accessed from the facilitator or the autistic partner. That varies and changes for a multitude of reasons, and it's this that desperately needs more open dialogue and study.

by Single Not Desperate
There is nothing sexier than a single Dad. Even sexier is a single Dad that has custody of his child. I am infatuated with the man that spends his day around the schedule of his child. And I'm dating this guy!
I connected with Mr. Mom on Match.com. His first few messages to me had me smitten. He told me that he put his daughter first, so our dates would have to be planned with her schedule in mind. That totally worked for me because I'm a single parent too!
On our first date we never stopped talking. We talked about our lives, our work and we also talked about our children. It was magic!
What I like about him most is he is an evolved man. He actually likes women. I know, that sounds funny, huh? It's true though. Some men only like women for a few reasons; sex, food, and having children. Other than those reasons, they think women are expendable and interchangeable. It's a machismo attitude and it's one I can live without. Finding an evolved man is a real plus and there are plenty of them out there these days.
Our date was dinner and then drinks at another location. It was nice to be able to change the venue to a place more relaxed for the close of the evening. Like I said, we never stopped talking. That was a clear indication to me that this date was one that was working and going in a good direction.
At the end of the date he got kind of shy. Do we shake hands now that we've shared so much? Do we hug? Do we kiss? I broke the ice by making a joke about kissing and he was quick to tell me that he really wanted to kiss me. So he did. It wasn't a French kiss, but I definitely see a French kiss in the future with this date.
He sent me a text the next morning. He said he had a great time getting to know me. Then he wrote that he was getting a sitter for Friday. Could we go out again?
What do you think I texted back?
Oh yeah!

The banking and finance sector speeds up digitalisation
In 2012, the proportion of electronic registrations in the Register of Mortgaged Movable Property was about 20%, with almost 490,000 documents being processed.
Electronic case processing is expected to increase by a further 20% in 2013.
The Register of Mortgaged Movable Property's systems are ready to receive and process a large amount of electronic documents, but, so far, the increase in the use of electronic documents has been slower than we expected. This applies in particular to the processing of loans, which accounts for a large part of the workload of the Register of Mortgaged Movable Property.
The banking and finance sector is working hard to speed up its electronic processing, both in relation to the taking out and cancelling of loans. Among other things, work has been initiated to amend the Enforcement of Claims Act so that physical and electronic signatures will have equal status. As soon as this is in place, there will be a substantial increase in the number of electronic documents submitted for processing by the Register of Mortgaged Movable Property.

Tonight Andi was coloring in her new princess coloring book. She got really excited, and told me that she knew how to write her name. I expected to look over and she some scribbled lines, which is what she had been doing until now. This is what she wrote in her book:
The "d" needs a little work, but she sure did write her own name. She did it on a few pages because she was so excited that she could do it.
First she's drawing people, now she's writing. My little girl is growing up. Holy cow I feel old.

Time travel stories are one of the great staples of science fiction. The problem with time travel is that it is obviously impossible, because time only goes one way, and because it involves so many paradoxes, and because if it was possible, someone would already have invented it by now and come to visit us. So to make a convincing story you have to come up with a way around the impossibility so it becomes believable.
Does Salvador Dali's famous painting The Persistence of Memory symbolises the end of Time as we know it?
A lot of time travel stories are problem-solving mysteries, a bit like detective stories. Others focus on different aspects, and thus you can have time travel comedies, adventure stories, horror stories, and pretty much any other kind of story.
The concept of time travel may go back several centuries – it really depends how you define time travel – but H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, first published in 1895, is probably the historical gold standard for time travel fiction. Apart from being a great story, with lots of sense-of-wonder, endless possibilities, sociological insights, creepy horror implications, etc., it has one thing all the others do not: originality, in that it was the first story to use an actual time machine.
I'm not saying that originality is everything, but it is a lot, and the more originality, the better. Of course The Time Machine is not wholly original; in fact, it was based on an earlier short story by Wells called "The Chronic Argonuats" (1888). After all, originality is a relative term. No story is wholly original, nor can it be completely unoriginal (unless it is 100% plagiarized, in which case it is not an unoriginal story, just a copy of an original one).
But why is the machine part so important? Because a machine is a form of technology, and thus it makes it easier to classify the story as science fiction. Although I actually believe that time travel is fantasy, but we won't go into that now.
For those who have not read The Time Machine or seen the movies, it (obviously) concerns a man who has built a time machine, which he uses to travel to the far future, specifically to the year 802,701, a time when the human race has evolved into two separate species. The intellectuals have become the beautiful but rather useless Eloi, and the workers have turned into the Morlocks, a nasty, brutish race with even nastier, more brutish habits. Highly recommended.
A quick trip to Wikipedia will reveal that there were also 2 movies plus 2 TV versions, and IMDb refers to something from Bollywood. I prefer the 1960 movie, which is a bit closer to the original book, although the special effects (which won the Oscar for best effects) are really bad by today's standards – which is not a comment on the film but on the amazing progress of special effects over the last 50 years.
Incidentally, Wikipedia also reveals that Wells was beaten by a writer named Edward Page Mitchell, who published a story called "The Clock That Went Backward" (1881), in which two men are briefly transported back to the 16th century due to a backward-running clock.
It's not a bad story, and quite readable still, but is it a time travel story? It all depends on your definition.
I think my favorite time travel story is "Thus We Frustrate Charlemagne" by R.A. Lafferty (1967).
*** Spoiler Alert!***
If you want to read this story before I spoil it for you, you can click on this link. On the other hand, you might prefer to keep reading, as Lafferty's writing may take a bit of getting used to. The term most commonly used to describe him is "mad", and the second most common word is possibly "genius". But you might benefit from a couple of hints if you are not familiar with his style and crazy thought processes.
The story concerns a "Ktistek machine" (a rather bizarre and highly eccentric type of computer) and a matching group of highly eccentric geniuses, who attempt to demonstrate the reality of time travel – and simultaneously brighten up the so-called "dark ages" – by killing off a traitor named Gano. (All of their interventions consist of killing somebody.) Meanwhile, they all gather around a relevant section of a history book and prepare to watch the words change before their eyes.
R.A. Lafferty
The experiment works brilliantly, and the Earth is changed into a virtual paradise. But the problem – and the point of the story – is that nobody notices anything change. They are convinced that the experiment was a failure. So they try again – and again – and end up almost destroying the world. But in the end they are all convinced that the experiment was a failure because nothing has changed.
Lafferty's story is a triumph of paradox over perception. The experimenters' nightmare comes true, beyond their wildest dreams, but no one realizes it.
Another problem with time travel stories is that there are so many of them, it's hard to keep up. I am yet to read many of them, including Connie Willis's recent works, The Doomsday Book, Blackout and All Clear, all of which form about two thirds of her Oxford Time Travel series.
Another problem with time travel is that it is very difficult to illustrate. This is why I have all these stupid pictures of broken clocks!

text: To celebrate the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice yesterday, LEGO posted the above image on their social media sites to promote the movie as well as the sets that go along with it. The image basically recreates one of the official posters for the movie in LEGO minifigure form and it looks awesome. I wish this was one of the posters that LEGO gives out as a promotion but it doesn't look like there will be one but you can download a high-quality version that you can print out and hang up.

Hello everybody,
I am kelly, 30 years old and was finally diagnosed with fibro last year after years in and out of hospital for tests. Once lupus, reumatoid arthritis and other things had been ruled out, a specialist did the test for fibro involving touching specific parts of the body and i was finally diagnosed.
it felt like a weight had been lifted after all the years. It is hard living with fibro, i always say i have bad days and worse days there are no good days as im in pain 24/7. friends and family dont understand why i had to leave my job or why it has taken me 8 years to do my degree, or 3 years to learn to drive- it is easy for them as they dont have the physical pain or the trouble remembering things it really afects every aspect of your life,
sometimes i cant string a sentance together and people look at you like you are stupid or on drugs. I have to write everything down in several diffeent places just to remmeber basic things, i have to count tablets out so that i do not double dose or underdose. at times it makes you feel a failure when you see your peers in a career, getting married and having kids when i struggle to get out of bed each morning.
On top of this i have other health problems also- menieres disease which causes hearing problems, tinnitus, vertigo etc, asthma, and anemia. My sister is constantly putting me down and belittling me when all i do is the best i can and persevere with things even if it takes longer than other people i have a determination that one day i will get there. I used to think i was just thick for failing exams but now know it was because my memory would go blank and couldnt retain information.
I am getting good marks in my degree now and in two years will graduate. its frustrating that i cannot work at a normal pace or things take a lot longer but you just have to carry on. would be interesting so see how other people manage and the symptoms you experience. ttfn

Press Release - People Before Profit - Dec 8th 2017
Richard Boyd Barrett TD, has condemned the government with the support of Fianna Fail for tabling a Dail motion this Thursday for Ireland to join the EU PESCO agreement on advanced military and defence cooperation.
Deputy Boyd Barrett, who is a member of the Dail Business committee, will strongly protest at the attempt to table and vote on this motion this Thursday despite the fact that this was not agreed at last weeks Business Committee.
Deputy Boyd Barrett said: It looks like there may be collusion between Fine Gael and Fianna Fail to ram through the decision to join PESCO and that it is a supremely cynical move to dramatically increase arms spending and erode Irish military neutrality, without any public debate, using the cover of the current Brexit drama.
Deputy Boyd Barrett pointed out that the PESCO agreement requires participating member states to regularly increase defence budgets and increase the share of expenditure allocated to defence research and technology with a view to reaching 2% of total spending.
Richard Boyd Barrett said, This would mean a dramatic increase in Irish Defence spending from the current level of 0.5% (900 million) to close to 4 billion annually. This would commit Ireland to taking billions away from solving the current housing and health emergencies to spend on weapons. Its absolutely outrageous that this is being done without any serious public debate whatsoever.
It really looks like the government may have done a cynical deal with the EU that, in exchange for European support on the Brexit negotiations, Ireland will sign up to a deal that involves us in a plan to advance the project of a European Army, increasing arms expenditure and significantly strengthening the European Military Industrial Complex.
A quadrupling of Irish arms expenditure from 0.5% to 2% is every bit as economically and socially significant and damaging as the potential estimated impact of Brexit, yet while there is wall to wall debate about Brexit, there is no public or media discussion about PESCO and the government are trying to ram it through without anyone noticing.
We need to ring the alarm bells about PESCO urgently and I would appeal to the media also to start shining a spotlight on this hugely significant and disgraceful move.


text: Drunk Beyoncé Speaks Divorce Rumours With Husband Jay-Z At Kelly Rowland's 35th Birthday Party Team Curtains March 4, 2016 Everything seems amazing and beautiful when you see the view in rose colored glasses, but take them off! The world's top power couple, Mr and Mrs. Carter has been surrounded with divorce rumors again. And that rumor was recently substantiated by Queen B herself at Kelly Rowland's 35th birthday party. "From the moment she arrived, Beyonce started downing cocktails — it was clear something was bothering her," a source told In Touch of the 34-year-old superstar, who was drowning her sorrows at pal Kelly Rowland's 35th birthday bash on Feb. 20 at the Sunset Tower in L.A. "She took off her wedding ring, held it in the air and told everyone that this would be one of the last times they would see it because she was ending her marriage, Friends and family tried to calm her down." claimed the source. As RadarOnline reported, tensions have been high between Jay Z, 46, and Beyonce, and the two have been rumored to be on the verge of divorce for quite some time now Compounding the tensions, Jay-Z is currently embroiled in a paternity battle with 22-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite, who claims the rapper is his father. However, in an effort to control the volatile situation at the party, Tina Knowles pulled her daughter aside and tried to talk some sense into her. "After their chat, Beyonce announced to everyone that she was only joking and blamed it on the alcohol," said the source. All these rumours seem false, as the couple recently made appearances at Clippers game, also taking Blue Ivy to Giggles N' Hugs in California. Beyoncé and Hubby Jay-z @ Clippers Basketball Game Beyoncé and Jay Z were "engaged, clapping and having fun," a source told, adding that Blue Ivy was "having a blast doing all the activities." Beyoncé and Jay-z took daughter Blue Ivy to Giggle N'Hugs On the verge of divorcing you said? Not really sure!

...if the Church of England played a more prominent role in national life; would like to see the Conservative Party disbanded because there's nothing remotely conservative about it; believes Tony Blair is more left wing than Jeremy Corbyn; feels that Mrs. Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were vastly over-rated; and is convinced that any liberalisation of the drug laws would open the gates of hell.
I find myself in agreement with Hitchens much of the time (he's for the King James Bible, despises the EU, and loathes political correctness) but I rarely read or listen to him, because I find his brand of fervent pessimism (he describes himself as Britain's obituarist) unappealing. I don't mind being told that the country is going to hell in a handcart - in many ways, it evidently is - but when this observation leads to the conclusion that there's nothing much we can do about it, I tend to lose interest. A prediction of Armageddon should always be followed by "unless...". Of course, if it prefaces a proposal for some totalitarian system leading to an earthly Utopia, forget it. But if it's followed by some practical suggestion that might slow our downward spiral into an earthly hell, or might even, you know, improve things a bit, then I'm happy to listen.
I don't want to hearing soothing lies - I'm not a frightened infant convinced there's a monster in the bedroom cupboard, or some febrile member of the snowflake generation terrified at the prospect of hearing an opinion that doesn't accord with my ridiculous worldview. I also despise what Roger Scruton terms "unscrupulous optimists" - i.e. those who advocate replacing what just about works with some brand new, untested arrangement which might very well ruin lives, but would allow them to feel morally superior to the scheme's sensible opponents. Just as I don't enjoy films or books whose central message is "life is shit, and then you die" but which don't offer any hint as to how, in that case, to avoid despair, so I don't respond well to political commentators who (as Hitchens seems to do) tell us that things won't get any better until we've departed this vale of tears. In every office I've worked in, and on every team I've been part of, there was always someone who delighted in pointing out problems, without feeling the need to present any potential solutions. They served a purpose, true - but I never considered them "brave" or "unflinching". I just wanted to strangle them.
I'm not saying Hitchens P. is quite that bad - but reading his stuff often feels like watching a film in which, inevitably, the hero dies and the villain triumphs. Listening to him the other day, I couldn't help agreeing with Anthony Howard, who wrote of him: "the old revolutionary socialist has lost nothing of his passion and indignation as the years have passed us all by. It is merely the convictions that have changed, not the fervour and fanaticism with which they continue to be held." If that sounds like exaggeration, consider the fact that, despite wanting Britain out of the EU, Hitchens refused to vote in the referendum because he considers referenda to be undemocratic, and he didn't believe Michael Gove and Boris Johnson are genuine Brexiteers!
What I suspect sets Hitchens apart from most others on the Right - and from most of the rest of humanity - is that he doesn't seem to require the solace of earthly hope. A relatively late convert to Christianity, he seems to have put all his hopey eggs into the basket marked "Afterlife". In addition (and I may very well be doing him a disservice here), he doesn't seem to understand why the vast majority of us - believers and non-believers - are rather partial to a bit of hope, and why we would most likely sink into despair without it. I suspect that's why Delingpole told Hitchens during their chat that he wouldn't much like to share a foxhole with him: partly it's because Hitchens has shown himself willing to throw fellow conservatives under a bus when the fancy takes him (Delingpole has been subjected to this treatment), but also, I imagine, it's because Hitchens almost seems to revel in his conviction that the country is doomed - which I imagine would strike most of us as rather ghoulish.
On the surface, the late Christopher Hitchens would appear to have been his brother's opposite - a booze-guzzling, heavy-smoking, left-wing atheist v. an abstemious, non-smoking, right-wing Christian. But, apart from a trenchant, provocative and effective way of expressing himself (and the fact that, as with his brother, I agreed with much of what he said), Hitchens C seems to have shared at least one other trait with his younger brother. Christopher's atheism was fanatical - he wrote a book called God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - not because he had battled against the lure of faith, but because he didn't feel the need for it, and couldn't understand why almost every other human being did. This incomprehension - this mind-blindness regarding one of humanity's defining impulses - meant that the nature and quality of his arguments against religious belief (as opposed to his attacks on specific religions) were no better than those one might expect from a fairly bright fifth former. Hitchens P might not need - or understand - the solace offered by political hope, and Hitchens C seems not have needed - or understood - the solace offered by religion. Me, I'm partial to a bit of both.
Am I being unfair to Peter Hitchens? Here's the Delingpole podcast - you decide:
I'll end with a slight digression. I've stated more than once that the only political discussions that interest me these days are between genuine right-wingers and genuine conservatives. That's probably because there an almost total lack of the sort of nauseating virtue-signalling and knee-jerk name-calling that left-wingers routinely resort to when they're losing an argument (i.e. most of the time). It's also because people on the Right are usually more interested in devising ways of making people's lives a bit better than in pushing ruinously expensive policies which obviously wouldn't work, but which allow leftists to paint their political opponents as uncaring, uncompassionate monsters. Finally, my inner conservative and inner right-winger are constantly arguing with each other - but they quit their squabbling when they hear the same argument taking place out there in the real world!

Homeostasis is an essential property of all living organisms by keeping the internal environments of organisms and cells at approximately constant levels despite influences and perturbations from the internal or external environment. How organisms and cells can achieve such a robust internal stability is presently not thoroughly understood.
To get a better understanding of the nature of homeostatic mechanisms, Oleg Agafonov in his PhD combined thesis methods from molecular biology, chemical kinetics and cybernetics. One particularly intriguing question is whether cells may maintain an internal homeostasis under oscillatory signalling conditions, for example during oscillatory calcium signalling. By applying mathematical models it was found that certain oscillatory systems are indeed capable to keep the average level of a controlled component at a given set-point.
Furthermore, it was shown that the frequency of such biological oscillators can be kept robustly at a certain value. Another question addressed in this PhD work was how plants and fungi can homeostatically regulate essential nutrients, such as iron and nitrate and how homeostasis in general appears to be related to growth. Mathematical models were developed, which show how controlled and uncontrolled growth can occur. The occurrence of uncontrolled growth appears to be of particular interest, because the appearance of uncontrolled growth in cancer cells is still not well understood.
About the PhD candidate
Oleg Agafonov is 30 years old, with a Master of Science degree in Applied and Commercial Biotechnology from Hedmark University College, Norway.
The PhD project is entitled "Homeostasis and Adaptation: From Stationary Conditions to Oscillations and Growth". The work was conducted at the Centre for Organelle Research in cooperation with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, both at the University of Stavanger.

Bell agrees to open a portal to the Demon World Acropolis, but Wolf kicks Staz in before she's finished, and Staz ends up in her apartment. After taking showers, Staz tells Bell the story of how his brother Braz T. Vlad performed endless deadly experiments on him as a child, culminating in shooting him in the heart with a magic bullet that sealed his powers. Bell, attracted to men more powerful than her, wants Staz to make his brother remove the seal.
Meanwhile, Wolf and Mamejirou look after Fuyumi, but when she exhibits acute leprosy and starts to turn transparent, Wolf speeds her to a demon physician Frankenstein. After Bell drops Staz off outside the base of the Acropolis, he's promptly ambushed by his little sister Liz T. Vlad, who throws him into her jail. He presses the "Challenge" button in his cell, and he's sent to a room where Liz presents him with two powerful zombies he must defeat to be released.
You can't say Blood Lad offers you great bang for the buck, as quite a bit goes on, some new foes are introduced, and everyone is given something to do in this episode. We also liked the seamless blending of casually hanging out with more serious themes. About those foes; they're technically Staz's family, but they no longer acknowledge him as blood. Hell, Staz can't even get near the castle, as his sister is determined to destroy him. While that's going on, Wolf is babysitting Fuyumi, unaware that she needs regular infusions of Staz's blood to stay solid.
When Staz and Bell and Wolf and Fuyumi split off, you get the feeling they're pairing up, too. After all, Bell is well aware Staz is more powerful and less stupid than he lets on, and gains a lot of sympathy for him after hearing his harrowing tale. Wolf also seems to be into Fuyumi, and you have to wonder that whatever Frankenstein cooks up to halt her vanishing will clash with the original purpose of Staz's quest: find out from Braz how to resurrect her.
Rating: 8 (Great)
Stray Observations:
- As proponents of the inclusion of people of all shapes and sizes in anime, we're pleased with the fact that the two female leads aren't model-thin, but have some curves on them, which Bell is certainly not afraid to flaunt.
- Even Bell is a little disappointed in herself for only falling for guy who can kick her ass, or in Staz's case, have the potential to
- Always go out for sushi before starting a quest to revive a human and unlock one's latent powers.
- When her mask is on, Liz makes the exact same Darth Vader breathing sound.
- An assist to Staz's prisonmates, who throw pretty much every prisonmate cliche at Staz before he peaces-out with the red button.
- Google translates Liz and Braz's last name as "Vlad" and Charlie's as "Blood", so we're sticking with those for the time being. It makes sense he'd change his name when he ran away.

Johnson Umax told his victims he was a mortgage adviser and would be able to buy a house for them, but never fulfilled his promise or returned their deposit money.
The married 32-year-old from Chelmsford built romantic relationships with two of the victims, even telling one they would move in together in the property.
Each of his victims had loaned him money, believing he would use it to help them get a mortgage. However, it appears that the victims have lost all the cash Umax took.
Essex Police confirmed to Mortgage Solutions that he had no assets to seize and therefore no Proceeds of Crime hearing will take place.
Relationship lies
Umax started a relationship with the first victim in February 2013 after they met through an online dating site.
When she told him she wanted to buy a house, he claimed he had a mortgage company and she agreed to give him a deposit, eventually taking a total of £30,000.
He met the second victim in November 2013 and they later began a relationship.
When she told him she wanted to buy a property, he claimed he would buy a house for her and sell it at auction for a profit, then use the money to buy another house for them to live in together.
Umax also convinced her to finance a car for him.
However, the victim then discovered that, alongside taking the money from her and not buying a house at auction as promised, he was also married.
Umax promised to repay the £40,054 he had taken from her but never did.
Before discovering his deception, the second victim had recommended Umax to one of her colleagues, who was also looking to get a mortgage.
He took more than £40,000 from her between July 2014 and August 2015, but never repaid it and lied that he had bought a property on her behalf.
'Confidence trickster'
When interviewed by police, Umax claimed he had not obtained the money fraudulently, but that he had been in relationships with the three victims and they had offered to help him financially because he was in debt.
But the court heard this was not true, and he was never in a relationship with the third victim.
As a result he was convicted of three counts of fraud by false representation yesterday following a two-week trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, and was remanded in custody before sentencing on 24 May.
Detective Constable Chris Sedgwick, of Braintree, CID, said Umax was a confidence trickster and fraudster who manipulated his victims with promises and lies.
"He claimed he could help them get a mortgage, but had no ability to do this, and he had no regard for their personal circumstances," he said.
"He lied and cheated in a calculated way to extract as much money from his victims, all of whom are hard-working nurses.
"He has shown no remorse for stealing their entire savings and putting them into further debt.
"Hopefully this conviction will show him and others that if you commit crime we will continue to pursue you to get justice for the victims," he added.

Features to consider when selecting a weed wacker
The width of the trimmer
The width of the path trimmed by the trimmer matters. A small width means you will spend longer time to complete the job while a wider path means the job will be completed faster.
2-in-1 trimmer
The advantage of a 2-in-1 weed wacker is that it can perform both trimming and edging at the same time. The speed at which you complete trimming jobs is considerably increased.
Battery life
You don't want to keep recharging the battery after a short time. Consider buying a trimmer/edger that uses two batteries to increase the working time.
Just like any other electronic or equipment, the warranty is a priority. Equipment with 1-year warranty is better.
J-handle, adjustable shaft, and ergonomic design
These three features make the trimmer easy to ease. Buying equipment with at least two of the features will guarantee you comfortable trimming.
So what constitutes the best weed wacker? First, it needs to be 2-in-1 capable of completing both trimming and edging jobs. The width of the path mowed need to be large (17" is better). Most of the weed wackers are cordless. The cord can seriously limit your trimming range, so it is a great idea for manufacturers to entirely get rid of it. Lack of the cord means the equipment has to be powered by a battery. A weed wacker that comes with two batteries is preferable. One battery can be in use while the other is on charge. This gives you longer trimming and edging time.

Parents trying to convince their children to eat more vegetables might use a persuasive strategy they haven't yet attempted: grilling veggies on the barbecue. Sometimes it seems that everything tastes better when it's cooked outside with equipment from a supplier such as Paradise Grills Direct. This particular manufacturer is a favorite of many consumers since the equipment can be personalized for a custom order, and it's made in the USA.
Kids are likely to think it's fun to eat dinner outside on a regular basis. Parents might offer the reward of dinner on the patio or deck if the youngsters agree to eat a specified amount of veggies. If the kids are old enough, they can help cook those nutritious foods, which is likely to make a child more interested in eating them. Children who are at the age where they can read fairly well might be encouraged to look through barbecue recipe books or online and find vegetable dishes to cook on the grill. When it comes to paradise grills Houston residents are able to create their own design for an outdoor kitchen and build their dream backyard space.
Parents will probably find that they are eating healthier meals when they begin grilling vegetables regularly. Although barbecuing can be a very healthy way to cook as opposed to methods such as deep frying, the activity tends to focus heavily on meat. A standard meal might consist of a steak or a couple of pork chops along with a small side salad. In contrast, meals such as shish kabobs or sauteed salmon with asparagus and mushrooms, cooked in foil, can be a delightful change of pace. Shish kabobs in particular are kid-friendly since they are fun to cook and very tasty. The children can choose which meats and veggies they want to include, giving them a sense of free will in the activity. Parents also might persuade the kids to add one piece of a vegetable that's unfamiliar, thus succeeding in getting them to try something new. Children also tend to love eating corn on the cob, which is easy to barbecue and can be included with a grilled hamburger or hot dog dinner.

More crap.
There're reports right now of more bombs in London. They seem to have been largely unsuccesful, and no casualties are reported as of yet. Again--and keep in mind, this is two weeks after the last attacks--the bombs affected three tube stations and one bus.
The police are apparently chasing someone near one of the universities hospitals, so maybe they'll bust someone on this shit. They are, however, also investigating one of the sites in biohazard suits, or similar, apparently out of some fear of a chemical agent.
This isn't even being considered, according to BBC, a major incident by the police. But still. More crap is not a good thing. I have to admit, I was hoping--lulled into thinking, in just two weeks--that the bombs from two weeks ago would be a one-time event, that it'd be a while, at least, until something else happened.
Anyways. I'm fine. Was at New Statesman at the time, and am sticking around here I think until everything's cleared up.
Yesterday, I was really excited looking at places to live here. Now... I'm not saying I'm changing my mind. I'm not. But I'm much less excited about it all.

Story has the power to change hearts and minds, and as a result story has the power to change the world. Have you ever sat down to plot a novel and come up with nothing you or anyone else would want to read? I have! Artificial plot structures do little to help writers get to the heart of their stories. A story is more than plot. It's more than a series of causal events. And it's so much more than writing well. Having a mastery of grammar and spelling, and even having a poet's command of lyrical language, doesn't necessarily mean your stories will captivate readers. In "Getting to the Heart of Your Story" we'll explore how to get to the core of what you're trying to say and how to ratchet up the tension that pulls readers forward.
Don't forget to bring a laptop or writing pad.

A message from Stephen Cabrol, owner / director of Riko UK Ltd.
I am sure we could all have a very long discussion about this, but the bottom line is that we have all played a part in 'creating' the world we now live in and trade in.
We have all enjoyed access to produce and products from across the world. Just as many of us have enjoyed 'low cost travel' to all parts of the world. It is unquestionable that the ease of both Global trade and Global travel have helped bring all nations of the world closer together.
However, everything comes at a price and the speed at which COVID 19 has spread is one such price, as is the damage we are inflicting on the world we all live on. It is now time for the individual to stop 'passing the buck' and instead acknowledge that we all share the responsibility.
When we come out the other side of this terrible event, then perhaps we will all have had time to reflect. And hopefully we will all consider the consequences of our previous actions. We all have a responsibility to start undoing the damage we have done to each other and the world we all share.
In the meantime, thank you to all our customers and suppliers that are following the recommended procedures whilst trying to continue trading and keeping the UK economy running. Riko are doing the same, and as long as possible, we will continue to make every effort to fulfil customers' orders for products and parts. However, we are all experiencing, or likely to experience, 'changes' in staff levels. Please take this into consideration.
Very little 'machinery' is now made in the UK. One of the results of this is that genuine 'UK' produced products are few and far between. Even if something has a 'Made in UK' sticker on it you can pretty much guarantee that a sizeable amount of the components will have been imported. We are therefore at the mercy of both the UK policies and the country of origin.
Machinery arriving and leaving Riko is sprayed with Anigene HLD4V, which destroys Bacteria, Fungi, Mycobacteria Viruses and Spores.
Items in stock: As long as transport companies are still making collections & deliveries then we will process orders and dispatch them. However, customers have to accept that the recommendations and regulations can change hour by hour. If the government introduces further restrictions it will no doubt make deliveries more problematic or may even prevent the delivery of items. Therefore, once the goods have been collected from Riko we are unable to guarantee the delivery will reach the destination in any specific time frame.
Items not in stock: As long as the supplying factory remains open, we will continue to place both stock orders and 'urgent' orders with. As long as transport companies and couriers are still making collections & deliveries then products and parts should still reach us and our customers. However, we remain at the mercy of both the UK policies and the country of origin.
For both stock & non stock items there may be only 24 hours delay. But it may well be longer, a lot longer if everything is shut down for 12+ weeks! Please only place orders if you are prepared to accept this.
