Is really Unemployment is a reason to join terrorism or an excuse??
For the first Time I totally disagree with the facts by TED. How come we can give unemployment the reason of Terrorism. Charles Kingsley Once Tod that "NO-ONE KNOWS WHAT HE CAN DO, UNTIL HE TRIES"
I mean in today's era of high end needs and technology,it true that unemployment is growing fast and people are getting frustrated but terrorism is definitely not an option. Terrorism is not just a phenomena, its the sick mindset, its like a mental disease,
Nothing can justify of be a reason for terrorism. and even if Unemployment is somehow linked to it, the How can we justify the people with much higher paid salary and have so much riches, and still promoting terror.?????
Closing Statement from Irfan Noori
I am really thankful to all of you for sharing your intellect with me
this conversation, some how Inspires me doing what is being needed in today's era
The best enlightenment with the word TERRORISM
I just use to see its one aspect only
now i can see its diversification.
I thank you all for your support.

Nov 22 2013: Desperate people turn to desperate measures.
- +3
Unemployment is one of the things that drive people desperate. By itself, it likely won't be enough, but in combination with other things...
Nov 23 2013: I agree Nadav....desperate people turn to desperate measures. Unemployment alone does not create terrorists, and that is demonstrated by the fact that there are a lot of unemployed people in our world who are not terrorists. Combined with other factors, poverty can, and apparently does contribute to terrorism when there are other factors as well.
Here is a TED talk about the schools for terrorists, and some of the reasons that terrorism continues.
Irfan Noori
Nov 23 2013: If the Poverty + Unemployment + illiteracy + other factors are the reasons for terrorist activities or anti social activities, then, Dear Colleen, can you please Explain me the facts of Promoting crime by corporate and privileged, or the case of Shoplifting by Rich Kids, or exploitation of staff , or sexual harassment of an employee by the Bosses????

Nov 23 2013: Your topic question Dear Irfan, is..."Is really Unemployment is a reason to join terrorism or an excuse??"
No, in my perception, unemployment is not a reason to join terrorism, and it could be a contributing factor, along with other factors, as I wrote in my previous comment.
Are you now suggesting that " the facts of Promoting crime by corporate and privileged, or the case of Shoplifting by Rich Kids, or exploitation of staff , or sexual harassment of an employee by the Bosses" are related to terrorism? I do not understand what you would like me to explain Dear Irfan.Nov 23 2013: These are the sorts of examples which we see in our day to day life.
And my basic point is Howcome we can use Unemployment as a agent to terrorism even as contributing factor.
We've seen or heard or read once that the Terrorist brainwash the kids or spy or people, so I am asking those who are funding for their so called great cause, the ammunition, the camps, the foods, the mobilities, They are for sure rich, powerful. So!! how are they get involve, as they are the main mastermind behind terror activities, hey are the one who are mileading people, they are difinately not unemployed, (though they do target unemployed & poor people) And THEY ARE THE REAL TERRORIST, AND THEY CANT BE GIVEN THE FACTOR LIKE POVERTY OR UNEMPLOYMENT.
Nov 23 2013: You are not boring Irfan. I am trying my best to understand your question/concern. From what I know about terrorism, which is probably not very much, there are contributing factors, one of which might be, in some situations, unemployment.
I agree with you that those who may be funding terrorism are as much at fault as anyone else, and that is one of the contributing factors. Terrorism probably couldn't continue if it was not funded.Nov 24 2013: Irfan, It would appear that the issue here is the word terrorism. Terrorism has no set or accepted definition. It is usually applied to a non-government group opposing political philosophies or practices. The use of extreme force is always a tool used in control. If I go into your community and killer the leader, his family, his dog, and burn his house .... I then hold up his head at a assembly of all residents .... I have your full attention and fear will keep me in line.
Both sides of any conflict point the finger at the other and call them terrorists.
Instead of saying unemployed could you substitute the word poor. If I am rich and support the cause ... I can buy a man to fight for little money ... families are paid for their children to become suicide bombers ...
India is a country of much political strife and in my opinion much political corruption .... there appears to be the very rich and the very poor with few in the middle .... are these the conditions that you are referring to?
I attempted to cover two or three bases with examples to better understand your question .... are any of them close?
I wish you well. Bob.

Nov 28 2013: I think it's important to differentiate between a reason and an excuse. Poverty/unemployment may be a reason someone engages in terrorism, but it's not an excuse for it.

I personally liken terrorists to american gang culture more than anything else. In both cases you have older men recruiting younger, disaffected youth to a cause. These leaders target youths who are troubled and vulnerable and offer them something they don't have currently: Belonging, purpose, money, power, hope for a better future for themselves. Those things are surprisingly powerful motivators for young individuals who feel disenfranchised and powerless.
Personally, I think fighting poverty and providing educational opportunities is the best way to fight terrorism. Blowing up things just creates martyrs.
Nov 28 2013: 'I think it's important to differentiate between a reason and an excuse'
To some extend I think so too, yet can both be kept separate since we know that behavior is subjected to conditioning? And don't we often use the concept of 'mitigating circumstances' to take this former separation into consideration by a broader view on cause and effect relations?
And to whom applies this form of 'false' excuse which you introduced? To 'a' terrorist, whose circumstances may have caused his/her behavior, or to 'a' society which allowed those circumstances to develop in the first place? Or for both parties involved?
And aren't 'belonging, purpose, money, power, hope for a better future' the very same desires our official armies target in young people to make them join forces and to even face all consequences in our interest? And don't we often find 'lower class' people as first line bullet catcher in our 'official' conflicts?
And does the concept of 'excuse' really applies to acts of terrorism? Or do we have 'just' reasons on one and not accepted and/or denied justifications on the other side? Does a terrorist need an excuse to do what he/she does? Or does he/she rather have reasons?
You said, that 'blowing up things just creates martyrs' and thats what it does in my view too, yet doesn't it takes living people to bring and keep this elevated status alive and this in accordance to their believes or views of the world? If this was the case, what I think it is, then, is there any 'neutral' education which could alter those believes and views into less violent behavior? Isn't any education biased in someones fashion, even ours?
One may not need to read and write to wear a bomb-jacket and to use it, yet would those skills be able to prevent such usage?
I may be terribly wrong here, yet terrorism seems to me to be of reactive nature, which rises the question what and who caused this reaction in the first place and which part concerning 'guilt' is actually reserved to whom?
Sarah T
Nov 28 2013: A lot of good observations and questions. I hope I have space to respond!
- 0
I think that mitigating circumstance need to be weighted against the crime committed. Does willfully joining a movement to escape hardship really mitigate murder? It is not the same as say, child soldiers who are kidnapped and forced to murder under threat of violence of death. I think that in the case of terrorism hardships are a reason people choose to participate, but it doesn't necessarily mitigate their acts.
Whether something is an excuse or a reason is completely subjective. Criminals always have reasons for what they've done, but to others those reasons are often viewed as excuses. I think people have a hard accepting that a reason is not necessarily an excuse. When it comes to crime I think it is easier for people to believe that criminals always do things simply because they want to do them, or because they enjoy it. Sometimes a reason is just a reason, not an effort to deflect responsibility. I liken it to James's "Varities of Religious Experience" - the experience is real to the person who says they experienced it. It matters little what anyone else thinks.
I completely agree that the tactics for recruitment in the military are very much the same. It is something I found troublesome for a long time. For many reasons.
When I said education I meant general education. Not any sort of anti-terrorism education, just access to education. Math, science, literature, history. Learning doesn't just fill your head with facts, it gives you skills to think critically, to reason things out on your own, and things that can be helpful in employment.
I think the reactive part comes from the leadership who are reacting to various things. They sell a message of someone to blame for their circumstances and an opportunity to right it. You can see this same thing in American politics today in my opinion. Or even in Nazi Germany. It is a popular, and unfortunately, successful means of inciting hate.Nov 29 2013: Yet doesn't our legal system already distinguish between several definitions of murder?
I am no jurisconsult, yet naive enough to claim a more generalized definition, by taking another persons life against his/her explicit will. Whereas 'mitigating circumstances' then and only opens wide and changing fields of how to deal with it.
Looking from its result, does it really make a difference when a solider kills an enemy 'legally'? Or a policeman a bank robber? If so, wouldn't the simple act of not accepting 'terrorism' as a legal tactics of asymmetric warfare be a complete 'game' changer? And whose 'side' is to come to decide on this? The 'stronger' one, or those, larger in numbers? It seems as subjective as you named excuse and reason to be, or even worse, if not unfair, as of course 'we' would choose whatever makes 'our' interest succeed. Is this why Justicia is depict blindfolded, as otherwise she would actually see what 'we' are asking her to judge? :o)
I may be totally naive again, yet I believe, that any individual, which grew up loved and cared for and which doesn't suffer from mental illness will have no other need but to be forced into it by external circumstances, to take another persons life. And if that was true, what I think it is, the concept of complicity becomes of high importance and this even for whole societies.
If I take a look at what caused terrorism to the individual freedom of US citizen within the last decade, I honestly question if general education really does create what you assume, at least when horribly generalized. From those terrorists standpoint, their tactics certainly did succeed.
I may be mistaken again, yet terrorist leaders doesn't seem to me to be low educated, on the contrary, as it takes a lot of knowledge and skills to take on an enemy which is way more powerful in terms of resources and military equipment, than when both sides would be equal on those.
And did education hinder the irrational arms race during the cold war?
Sarah T
Nov 29 2013: I can only speak to the US court system, and while in some cases mitigating factors are allowed if they are considered relevant to the case. And there in lies the question, what mitigates murder? There really is no clear answer as every set of circumstances is different. Here is an interesting case in point: http://www.justiceharvard.org/resources/the-queen-vs-dudley-and-stephens-1884-the-lifeboat-case/
- 0
As a society, or species really, we have always allowed for exceptions in cases of murder. They vary from place to place. In the US insanity, crimes of passion, self defense, and sometimes juvenile offenses are considered as mitigating circumstances. In some middle eastern countries, honor killing are acceptable. Some countries of have the death penalty, and others do not.
Personally, I would agree with your assessment that a person (barring mental illness or other factors of force) has no ethical reason for killing another human. But that is only my opinion.
I don't think terrorist leaders are low educated individuals, but their recruits often are. Just as some gang leaders in the united states are actually college educated. Education makes it harder to be lead. It makes it easier to see when you are being used. And it provides access to better opportunities than terrorism.
Was the cold war really something the individual citizens chose? Or was is chosen for them by their leaders who have their own interests? I fear we're heading down a rabbit hole here, but for how long does an elected government really represent the people? Once they have power and control - who really makes the choices?Nov 29 2013: I agree with what you say where the reactive part comes from in the blame-game, yet what frightens me is the fact, that nations even bend their whole legal system in order to match their 'temporary' interests. Nazi Germany to me is the worst example on this, in which even laws against Jews were not only officially introduced yet also acted and judged upon. What if not this misuse of 'justice' generates as much cover for individual misbehavior and perverts? And the educational level at average in those days has been pretty high in my country. So how do we detect this form of misuse today?
Guantanamo Bay, and other more 'secret jails' to me are no good signs for a legal system to be of healthy nature. It hasn't been this way before, yet does those means justify or sell the original ideals of freedom and democracy?
I condemn any form of violence and murder yet it becomes more and more difficult for me to believe, that 'my side' is the one who is doing things right. Not legally, as this is just based on definitions, but morally, which could be based on more valuable constants, such as human rights, which 'we' seem to violate in our interest in many other countries ...
Difficult topic indeed.Nov 29 2013: I don't believe you managed to make me read that, as I usually fall asleep over such artificially awkward forms of languages, or curse like a sailor when I have no choice but to read through... even in my native language. ;o) And although I cursed a bit, and slept a bit, the case itself, once extracted, became pretty clear to my sense of justice. Intentional murder it was, which it would not have been, if all would have freely agreed to draw lots.
But I do not agree with the official explanation of the judgment, and the chosen death penalty rendered the death of the boy even more pointless at the end.
Yet doesn't the fact that exceptions in case of murder vary in place and time is what makes justice vulnerable against official misuse? And if its about terrorism, which usually is of political motivation, doesn't this fact alone renders all judges of a given society against which terror is used, biased in their opinion by definition?
How can a judge, who is an integrated part of the very society a terrorist group opposes against, be neutral in the sake of justice? I personally think, no involved judge can, which makes me believe, that in terms of terrorism, only an international court was able to provide the most neutral environment in which such cases should be dealt with.
'Education makes it harder to be lead.'
I agree with that, yet this is usually a two-edged sword, as in return it encourages any ruling class to use dirty tricks and misinformation to get educated societies to move in their direction. And I would be happy if you could prove me wrong on that.
Maybe I don't fear rabbit holes as much as I fear unnoticed manipulation, which, unfortunately, seems to spread more vividly today than ever.
In any true democracy, there can not be any 'own interest' of their elected leaders, which is a contradiction in itself. And regarding the irrational arms-race, it usually helps to follow the money to find those in whose interest this was. No majority, I suppose.Nov 27 2013: I am believing that only lazy loser may call him self jobless. In any society at any time if you want (just want) you can find a job and can find money to live. Unemployment can never be an excuse to become a bloody murderer! As about terrorism, this is just an instrument in the hands of modern dirty politicians. No more, no less.

Nov 24 2013: It seems you are not familiar with the relativistic aspect of the term 'terrorism' and that it is a strategy, a tactic, which can only be used, yet never joined.
- +1
Try to join a 'castling' in chess and you may know what I mean and it may also become clear, that the calling for 'war on terror' is not just plain stupid, yet also draws strong correlations to fight windmills and the mindset it takes for such a venture... :o)
To what terrorists are you specifically referring to? And why as terrorists and not as freedom fighters, as which they can also be seen, depending from which side of the barricade you are looking from?
Did you know that members of the French Resistance were seen as terrorists in Nazi Germany at that time of German occupation of France? And do you think that Nazi Germany was right in naming them as such?
To think of just one reason as the source of resistance, or terrorism is quite naive I would say, yet blends nicely in the overall simplification about it.
Any resistance I know of has a reason to use asymmetric warfare strategies to get their goals realized and as soon as you call someone a terrorist, yet don't know about his/hers original reasons and goals, you can be very certain about the fact, that you yourself have been manipulated by 'your' side (including media & government).
I am pretty surprised how little people actually know about a specific 'terror' and about the 'other story' of those who use this strategy, as to understand a conflict, how can they ever side when they know only one side of the coin?
What if 'we' are part of the reason for 'their' resistance?
And isn't it interesting, that comparable levels of terror and brutal violence of drug cartels in Mexico and/or Honduras is not coined the same way? Maybe because there is less political motivation involved to use the term terrorists?
So we may start asking those we call terrorists, why they do what they do, and maybe this understanding becomes then part of solutions?
Nov 24 2013: Explaining your point is good.
To elaborate I'd like to remind you about Nelson Mandela
He was assumed and treated as terrorist and later he was awarded Noble prize for peace for the same.......
So let us acquire real definition of Terrorism::
Going Against the government rules of Protesting for freedom.... I simply don't considering it as terrorism
making these cause as a mere excuse and then creating fear among innocent rather to government.... Is it really justified
Secondly, i am well aware of chess and castling, so can you please tell me to save the game is their any provision to go off the board or moving a rook diagonally, making a knight to step back, or bishop straight???
same is with the life, we've to see the limitations and value them...
Nov 24 2013: Is collateral damage justifiable? I think, it isn't, yet seems widely tolerated amongst the 'good guys' and their crusade for 'humanity' ... aka resources ...
Terror as strategy is currently not available in international chess rules and one of the reasons may well be, that this war game is plain symmetric - at least at its beginning.
Also the definition of 'innocents' has always been difficult at times of war and many civilians have been and will be directly targeted by regular soldiers. May this be to destroy the general moral (which usually doesn't work, on the contrary) or because military targets are embedded within civil infrastructure, which they usually are.
From a humanistic standpoint it doesn't make any difference if a civilian dies by a suicide bomb attack, or because the GPS coordinates of his place of death got coincidentally close to a cruise missile 'surgery' attack. The result is the same, and both could be named terror.
To what specific terror are you referring to?Nov 29 2013: Not both could be, indeed both are the forms of terror,
and terror in global scenario can not be limited by some specification,
In my perception. Terrorism can not be tagged solely to one end, it is joined and interconnected with both ends.
U've some differences the fight in between yourself, why the hell there are innocent like on stake, it doesn't matter to me that the source of death is by some shithead suicide bomber or by the most pathetic drones, it should and must be limited to their entity and compulsory out of bound from the innocent lives.Nov 24 2013: I agree that terrorism seems to be a mind set, an internal condition. Some people just tend to blame others for their misfortunes and get angry. This behavior can be seen everywhere - road rage, bullying, etc. One can say that unemployment makes such people angrier, but so does a traffic jam or a long line in a grocery store.
If you heat a dynamite stick, it can blow up. So, yes, there seem to be a link between the heat and the explosion. But dynamite can blow up also in the absense of heat. And other substances can explode as well. The business of finding "root causes" of things can be tricky.
Here is a talk that, I think, addresses this "reductionist" approach quite well in a different context.
Mark Kurtz
Nov 23 2013: I suggest unemployment is not the main reason for terrorism; it is political, as most of what I've heard is the terrorists consider themselves as freedom fighters. They want control of a country or region and maybe they have their theories of how to better manage or constitute a country.

I do believe unemployment is a major factor for crime, as people turn to stealing as a part time job. Idle time can lead to lowering of self esteem leading to psychological issues. Stresses lead to conflicts and deteriorating relationships; murders increase and prisons become overcrowded. Continuing unemployment robs people of their ability to sustain their families and many turn to alcohol and drugs to deaden realities and hope.
Unfair unemployment and unequal access to resources and services are factors in the mid-east. It seems far better for everyone concerned to compromise and try to resolve issues peacefully than to be recalcitrant and stubbornly attempt resolution with proven unproductive violent methods. All sides are contributing to the maintenance of continuing conflict. Eventually, if no compromise is possible, one side losses and the other vanquishes.
Can't say more because I'm not there to experience first hand.
Opinion only.
Nov 23 2013: That's not entirely correct.
Being miserable is one of the things that drive people to extreme acts like terror. In a society with decent standards of living, the only people who engage in things like terror and murder are the mentally ill, and the odd psychopath. Few and far apart, statistically speaking.
In a society which isn't quite so prosperous on the other hand, things are different. People have less to loose, and more to be upset about. Depression is more common (especially helpful for recruiting suicide bombers--where you and I would recommend a therapist, they recommend an explosive vest), and aid to families post mortem has greater economic significance.
It doesn't help that many terror groups also double as militias, and in more lawless regions, militias are effectively the ruling class. In that scenario, joining a terrorist group raises one's standards of living. Some people join for political, religious or ideological reasons, true, but many others join out of more rationally self motivated reasons.
Unemployment isn't the only cause of poor quality of life, but its certainly a factor. A content populace does not turn to terror for the same reasons they do not revolt. It takes misery for it to truly catch on--otherwise, the terrorists remain as small fringe groups that are quickly eradicated, or simply never grow influential enough to cause real harm (statistically speaking--every death is a tragedy, but it takes a little more than that to make an impact on something the size of a nation).
Nov 23 2013: Thank you Nadav. I left my wording open to other possibilities.Nov 29 2013: Yes, I think so. It could be one reason to make people hate the world.Nov 28 2013: I believe unemployment is not a reason for terrorism. The Gaza strip has a population of 1.6 million with a 40%unemployment rate. Also, the question of education, an article in the New York Times indicate that the majority of the terrorists that attacked Western targets were college educated. I believe some had jobs also.
Nov 29 2013: The Gaza strip is lousy with terrorists, actually. In addition to several smaller jihadist groups, Hamas, the biggest of the terrorist/militia organizations in the area actually serves as a government in addition to its terrorist activities.
The primary difference in origins between the terrorist/militia hybrid and the small cells of terrorists operating mostly on their own in western countries is primarily in education and standards of living. Where standards of living are high, only the odd group of nut jobs turns to terror, which is why the number of terrorists in such regions is quite low.
In regions where the populace is poorly educated and standards of living are low, the terrorist groups often grow big enough to become major political and military movements, containing many rational and in many ways normal people in numbers far greater than can be supported by the "odd nut job" demographic. This is where we get groups like Hezbollah or the Taliban, that simply don't develop where quality of life is high.

Nov 26 2013: Let's looked at Al Qaeda, with its originator Usama Bin Laden. Bin Laden, of course, is universally recognized as the ultimate terrorist and he is definitely not unemployed or poor. Even the suicide bombers recruited and trained by the Al Qaeda organization are not necessarily unemployed or poor. Some of them are probably lured by cash rewards, but many of them are too young or are not laid off by employers ( they are either never worked, or are employed when they join the Al Qaeda.) The basic premise for the terrorist intention is usually the discontent to the society as a whole or to a part of it.I would say that the majority of these feelings are not necessarily related to personal conditions such as unemployment or poverty. Furthermore, the terrorists executing these atrocities are the foot soldiers of Bin Laden or his deputies. Bin Laden himself, the one who is ultimately responsible for, or ordered, the terrorist attack, is never hateful to the rich people (he actually was one of them), rather, he is generally against the decaying western civilization or infidels according to Islam religion. On the other hand, vast majority of the poor or unemployed usually use rioting or protesting as an expression of their anger or dissatisfaction. So I am not quite sure there is any definite relationship between the unemployment and terrorism.

As to the question of mass slaughter of a particular ethnic group is concerned, I don't see there is any qualitative difference between the mass killing of Jews by Hitler, or mass killing of Chinese by Chairman Mao or the accumulative killing, by Al Qaeda, Harqqani or Omar of Taliban among the Muslims themselves..Nov 26 2013: Nothing can justify terrorism, but no one can keep person in despair from their desperate effort to survive. Of course, there are another way to overcome devastating situations but we should not neglect that terrorism is somehow linked with unemployment. Just like Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, some people commit crime to survive or, at least, to support their family. However, this is not the problem of justification because people who commit a terror hardly put their purposes on terror itself but financial aid from their commander - Al Qaeda, for instance. Encourgement to young people who tries to find hope with new perspectives is needed, not a criticism to terrorists who chose to change their life with money.
bart hsi
Nov 25 2013: Irfan, I agree with you that terrorism is most likely linked to sick or abnormal mindset, and unemployment happens to be linked with terrorism by some marginal or indirect effect. For example, Adolf Hitler certainly could be classified as a terrorist, because he killed lot of Jews who never make or declare war on him or Germany. He may say that he was acting for the mass of unemployed German workers' welfare, but even that couldn't be justified for the mass murder of all the Jews whether they were the exploiters of the economy in Germany or not. Of course his stated reason was the purification of the Aryan race. Therefore most of the terrorism acts always use the unemployment or poverty as the excuse for terrorist behavior.
- 0
Now let's turn on the government policy on welfare for the poor, especially those who are helpless because they are orphaned, abandoned or incapable of work, or temporarily out of work because of the shutdown of his/her workplace. I am all for the safety-net welfare for these people by the government. However, the unemployed, in desperation, usually would try to steal or pilfer food or other necessities, but rarely resort to killng innocent people. In my opinion, we should separate the terrorist mentality from the minor criminal act for survival by the unemployed. An unemployed could be acting like a terrorist, but that should be a coincidence, rather than a one-to-one linkage of the cause-and-effect certainty. Of course, the reverse cause-effect could likely be true that the terrorist behavior of an employee is more likely to be fired from his/her job, and then s/he turned around and committed mass murder in his/her former workplace due to his abnormal hatred mentality.
Nov 25 2013: Terror is use of fear induced by violence to achieve a political end.
The holocaust isn't an act of terror, its an act of genocide. Two very different things.
If you look at where most major terrorist groups reside nowadays, you'll find them in places like Somalia, Palestine, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Chechnya. You'll notice that the common denominator between them is that those are areas with very poor standards of living (one of the causes of which is unemployment).
Most of them are driven to it by desperation as opposed to mental illness. Otherwise, those organizations would have remained very small and a lot less substantial--there aren't that many violent mentally ill people in the population, percentage wise.Nov 23 2013: Please, lets not dwell to much on the behaviour, it tends to blurry most peoples perception of individuals. Behaviour is part of the problem, but not the main source. Truth of the matter is, all behavioural violence is born out of some sort of deprivation. Majority of violent offenders have themselves been victims of their own attempted murders, sexual abuse, torment, or inhuman living conditions. These people have simply not been given an adequate environment to develop in, and as a result the development of the brain and mind is maladaptive. This is the true essence of human behaviour and human development, i suggest you start hear to answer some of the other related issues such as unemployment's impact on human health.
Nov 23 2013: If it totally depends upon the development of mind, then how can we justify the anti social activities of the privileged ones, the ones about whom Keith W Henline mentioned in his comment
Nov 23 2013: The privileged ones are not as privileged as you think, they may have more material possessions, but their interpersonal relationships and subjective experiences are just as skewed. Proximal abandonment, which is the term used to describe someone being physically present, but emotionally absent, I think would be the best example to describe the parenting environment and the type of relative deprivation people (especially young) of all classes regardless of material wealth are subject to, some more than others.
This would explain why even children of wealthy families go down the wrong paths, even their emotional needs where not met adequately as children and/or adolescence.Nov 23 2013: Makes sense to me and the Ted Talk is not the only place I've heard this.
In this context I remember an old story about an American whaling ship and a few IRA exiles in Austrailia. The Americans rescued them and took them to Boston Where they soon had jobs and lost all interest in the movement.
Heck, they might have just as well stayed in Australia. Jobs and just as nice. So much for revolution and a full stomach. Doesn't happen.

Anarchy 101: How The Left Embraces Chaos
Good summary of the war in Wisconsin: "EAGnews.org has produced an exclusive video report disclosing who and what were behind the massive demonstrations, the occupation of the Capitol in Madison, and extreme tactics employed to stop Walker's reforms from being enacted.
Titled "Anarchy 101: How Wisconsin's Left Embraces Chaos," the report takes us through the protests, legal challenges and subsequent recall efforts of 2011 and 2012. It features Brett Healy and Brian Fraley of the MacIver Institute, Collin Roth of Media Trackers, an unidentified citizen journalist on the ground for many of the protests, and State Sen. Alberta Darling, a target of death threats, intimidation tactics, and a failed recall attempt last year.
It also features two teachers, including Kenosha's Kristi Lacroix, and a school board member who would not be silenced by the radicals' intimidation tactics and spoke to EAGnews about the benefits of Scott Walker's reforms.

Business Type: Auto Repairs and Service
Green Automotive
Green Automotive, owned by Joey and Jamie Green, is located at 302 Doss Avenue in Lafayette. The business is located across from Key Park, behind Lafayette Missionary Baptist Church.
Joey graduated from Nashville Auto Diesel College and went to work immediately. He worked out of the area and wanted to work closer to his home in Lafayette so, after much thought, he decided to open his own shop and see where it took him. Green Automotive opened in a rented location in June 2008 and remained in the same location until October 2011. Joey feels he has been very blessed for his business to grow as much as it has over the past four years.
In 2009 he was able to bring in an employee, his cousin Tobias Green, who wanted desperately to work close to home after working outside of Macon County for five years. In 2011 he was able to add a second employee, his brother Jeffrey Green, who had also worked outside the county for many years.
Green Automotive has allowed customers another option in Lafayette and surrounding counties while providing three local men the opportunity to work in their own community.
The business purchased their current location in 2011 in order to have the ability to grow as needed. Since moving to this location they have added an office to the original structure. Joey hopes to start construction on an addition to the work space in the near future.
Green Automotive handles minor to major engine repairs from gasoline to diesel engines. They can do anything from changing your windshield wipers to a complete overhaul of your engine.
Joey would like to thank everyone for their continued support and ask them to remember Green Automotive when in need of a mechanic.
Contact Green Automotive at 688-3859 during normal business hours Monday-Friday 8 am -5 pm.

Interpretive Handbook
81793 :
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Urea is the final degradation product of protein and amino acid metabolism. In protein catabolism the proteins are broken down to amino acids and deaminated. The ammonia formed in this process is synthesized to urea in the liver. This is the most important catabolic pathway for eliminating excess nitrogen in the human body.
Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) may be due to prerenal causes (cardiac decompensation, water depletion due to decreased intake and excessive loss, increased protein catabolism, and high protein diet), renal causes (acute glomerulonephritis, chronic nephritis, polycystic kidney disease, nephrosclerosis, and tubular necrosis) and postrenal causes (eg, all types of obstruction of the urinary tract, such as stones, enlarged prostate gland, tumors).
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
The determination of serum blood urea nitrogen currently is the most widely used screening test for the evaluation of kidney function. The test is frequently requested along with the serum creatinine test since simultaneous determination of these 2 compounds appears to aid in the differential diagnosis of prerenal, renal and postrenal hyperuremia.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) determinations are considerably less sensitive than BUN clearance (and creatinine clearance) tests, and levels may not be abnormal until the BUN clearance has diminished to <50%. Clinicians frequently calculate a convenient relationship, the urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio: serum bun in mg/dL/serum creatinine in mg/dL. For a normal individual on a normal diet, the reference interval for the ratio ranges between 12 and 20, with most individuals being between 12 and 16. Significantly lower ratios denote acute tubular necrosis, low protein intake, starvation or severe liver disease. High ratios with normal creatinine levels may be noted with catabolic states of tissue breakdown, prerenal azotemia, high protein intake, etc. High ratios associated with high creatinine concentrations may denote either postrenal obstruction or prerenal azotemia superimposed on renal disease. Because of the variability of both the BUN and creatinine assays, the ratio is only a rough guide to the nature of the underlying abnormality. Its magnitude is not tightly regulated in health or disease and should not be considered an exact quantity.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Pet Cod Liver Oil (16 fluid ounce size) - Wild Arctic Cod Liver Oil
Note: Product is contained in a box which includes a measured dropper for ease of use and application accuracy.
Traditionally, Norwegians have used cod liver oil for its nourishing and healthful benefits. It is an ideal source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, as well as naturally occurring vitamin A. Nordic Naturals Pet Cod Liver Oil continues this tradition by providing your dog and cat patients and companions with these same important nutrients.
Nordic Naturals' Pet Cod Liver Oil is derived exclusively from wild Arctic cod (Skrei), from the Norwegian Sea off the Lofoten Islands near Bodø, Norway. Due to the seasonal variations of food supply for wild Arctic cod, the amount of vitamin A will fluctuate with each batch. Please refer to the product label for the current amount of vitamin A in the product.
The omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) found in fish oil support:
Vitamin A Essentials
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble and essential vitamin in the diets of dogs and cats, and is found naturally in cod liver oil. Vitamin A is important for normal vision, immune function, fetal development, growth, and cellular differentiation (important for maintaining healthy skin cells, corneal cells, and other cells lining the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and reproductive tracts).

"I wasn't being punished," says Aaron Neville, speaking, oddly enough, of the childhood times when he was being punished.
"I mean, they thought they were punishing me, and I was standing in the corner," he says. "But I wasn't being punished, because I had a song in my head."
Neville is 72 now. He's kept songs in his head the whole time, and he's put some in our heads, as well. He's applied his butterfly falsetto to smash hits "Tell It Like It Is," "Don't Know Much," "Everybody Plays the Fool" and many more, including stellar work with The Neville Brothers and a Grammy for his 1990s duet with Trisha Yearwood on "I Fall to Pieces," a song made famous by Patsy Cline.
"I love country music," says Neville, who cracked country music's top 40 with his 1993 version of George Jones' "The Grand Tour."
"I like the old stuff, mostly, like Hank Williams and George Jones. When you hear George Jones sing, he makes you feel his heart and soul."

Ok, whoever is watching The Walking Dead series on season 5 knows that [ SPOILER ABOUT TV SHOW ] Hershel gets a big chomp out of his leg by a zombie ( yes, he bites it off with his big teeths ) inside the jail compound and after some time, Rick cuts it off like you can do it with Lee in the game when his arm gets bitten.
Now the big mistake the writers did and expected much of the players not to notice.
Hershel survives and do not turn. Lee survives but gets all the symptoms of turning, all the same that Duck had before turning as dying as well.
Well, Iam expecting good theories because I was really puzzled by this.

In previous page we have mentioned some very important tips that you should follow before proceeding towards installation of XXME1 Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread for Galaxy Pocket S5300. Now in this page we summed up a detail step-by-step instruction or guide on how to update Galaxy Pocket S5300 to Android 2.3.6 XXME1. If you already used ODIN to install firmware then it should be easy for you but for others we have a simple guide below.
Remember, it's very important for you to follow everything that we mentioned below to successfully update your Galaxy Pocket S5300 to XXME1 Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread firmware.
Things Your Should Note:
- After installation of this official firmware you will lose all additional customization that you may have on your device including root, custom recovery (CWM recovery, TWRP Recovery etc.), custom ROM (CM10.1, Paranoid Android, Slim Bean, Liquid Smooth etc.) and MODs. You can always root your device later by following this tutorial: How To Root Galaxy Pocket S5300 XXME1 Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread Firmware. To unroot your device just install any official firmware again.
- Again this tutorial and firmware we mentioned is only for Galaxy Pocket S5300. So, please don't try it in any other Android device.
- As this is official firmware, it won't void your warranty if you install it.
- Another thing you should note, extract downloaded archive only once and not twice otherwise you won't get desired files but files that not required to complete this manual firmware installation process. The file with .tar.md5 extension is only the required file and all other files are optional. That's why you won't always get other mentioned file such as modem, csc or pit file after extracting.
- ODIN is designed to work on Windows OS. If you use Linux OS (such as Ubuntu) or Mac OS then use CrossOver Utility to run ODIN in your OS.
- It's essential to run ODIN as Administrator if your OS have that option. To do so, you should right click on odin.exe file first then click on 'Run as administrator' from context menu. Windows XP or lower don't require this.
Complete Installation Tutorial Of XXME1 Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread Official Firmware
Step 1: Download Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread XXME1 for Galaxy Pocket S5300 and Odin 3.07 in your computer.
Step 2: Extract Firmware zip file at a convenient location in your desktop; you should get a .tar.md5 file and some other files (optional).
Step 3: Now extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.07.exe as well as few other files.
Step 4: Now turn off your phone and wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off. Then put your Galaxy Pocket S5300 in Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down + Home + Power button together until you see a construction Android robot in phone screen. Press Volume Up button again to enter into Download Mode.
Step 5: Now run Odin3 v3.07.exe that you get in Step 3 as an Administrator because Admin privileges is required to complete this installation process smoothly.
Step 6: Now it's time to connect your Galaxy Pocket S5300 with your PC using USB cable. Do it and you will see a message under Odin's message box in the bottom left saying "Added!!". If you don't get it then you should try another USB port (try USB port located in back of your desktop PC cabinet). However, if this still can't solve your issue then you should reinstall USB driver for your device. Nevertheless, if you successfully see the "Added!!" message in Odin then you are ready to go in next step. You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
Step 7: Select these files from S5300XXME1 folder that you get in Step 2 in Odin at respective buttons:
- Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar.md5 file here with *code* appearing in its name (required)
- Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (add it if you only have it in your extracted firmware folder)
- Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (add it if you only have it in your extracted firmware folder)
- Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. (add it if you only have it in your extracted firmware folder)
Step 8: In Odin window, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are only two that are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only when you added a .pit file (see Step 7.4) in ODIN.
Step 9: To make flashing safe for you double check everything that we mentioned in Step 7 and Step 8 above. Now, once you are ready, hit the START button to begin the flashing process.
Step 10: Once installation is done, your phone will reboot automatically and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can then safely unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
That's it! Your Galaxy Pocket S5300 should now run on Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread build XXME1. Go to Settings > About phone to verify this firmware update.
Quick Note:
- Sometime Galaxy Pocket S5300 stuck at boot animation or Samsung logo after Step 10. If its happen to you then go to recovery mode (press and hold the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons together) and perform Wipe data/Factory Reset as well as Wipe Cache Partition before selecting reboot system now function. In recovery mode you can use Volume keys to navigate between options and Power key to select an option. Please note, performing wiping function will erase your phone data that stored in internal memory.
If you face any problem then feel free to drop a comment below and we will try our level best to solve it out as soon as possible.

Grande Champagne
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Raymond Ragnaud - Folle Blanche -2002-Grande Champagne-
This fine and elegant "eau-de-vie" is produced from a rare and old grape variety "the Folle Blanche".Learn More
The "Folle Blanche" is the original cognac grape variety, abandoned after the attack of phylloxera in the late nineteenth century.
The "Folle Blanche" gives incredibly elegant, delicate and perfumed cognacs.Excl. Tax: €62.50 Incl. Tax: €75.00

After Des Moines Register Watchdog Reporter Lee Rood wrote an investigative piece in 2010 on unpaid court debts, she was contacted by Afton Care Center Board President Steve Kline, who was miffed by unpaid restitution from Hammond, who was charged in July 1996 with first-degree theft, to which he later pleaded guilty.
Hammond's first-degree theft charge was reduced to third-degree theft and he was given probation, as long as he continued to pay the requested restitution of $38,400.
After Kline contacted Rood, she investigated further and published a story in the Register on April 28, which stated Hammond had "paid nowhere near that amount" of $38,400.
"The Afton Care Center's case was based on the fact that, as their accountant, he was doing the IRS tax return and things," said Arnold O. "Skip" Kenyon, who is the attorney for the Afton Care Center. "They (Afton Care Center) gave him the money to pay for those things, and those things did not get paid."
Kenyon said the shortage of cash flow was discovered when the United States Internal Revenue Service placed a lien against the Afton Care Center for lack of payment.
Hammond's story
In a Creston News Advertiser interview Wednesday, Hammond said he opened a trust account in December 1979, out of which he paid payroll taxes on behalf of his clients. When those payments began to bounce, he realized some of his clients wrote "bad checks" to reimburse the account.
"I left the account open for three more months hoping the businesses would make good," said Hammond. "They did not."
Hammond said he purchased the accounting firm in January 1980. To make the transition smooth for his clients, he used the same procedures as his predecessor.
By doing so, Hammond feels he got the short end of the stick.
On April 29, the day after Rood's article featuring Hammond ran in the Des Moines Register, Hammond — upset by the article — contacted Rood to let her know his debt had been paid in full.
Allison Danilovich at the Union County Clerk's office said Hammond made a cash payment that morning of $36,237.50 in restitution and fees, which covered his criminal judgment, and he also received credit toward a civil judgment, which stemmed from the same charges.
The only problem now, a civil judgment entered on Aug. 4, 1998, remains open because of unpaid interest of more than $25,000, based on the original criminal judgment amount of $38,400 accruing interest at 7.37 percent since it was filed.
"I don't think he knows," said Danilovich.
According to Kenyon, part of what happened was a change in the state's collection unit.
Danilovich said collection laws changed approximately three years ago, adopting a more aggressive approach to collections in order to collect revenue more efficiently for the state.
Because of this change, the responsibility of collections moved from the hands of the county attorney to the state of Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance.
"They add 10 percent," said the Danilovich. "After a year at the (state) collectors, they (the state) sends it to Linebarger (a treasury collection agency), and they add 25 percent."
According to Kenyon, Hammond was paying just enough while on probation to keep out of prison, which Danilovich said was $100 a month. He stopped paying that in May 2012 after he made a $25 payment to reinstate his vehicle registration.
With Hammond not making his monthly payments, the Afton Care Center was also not receiving restitution.
Kenyon said his staff have tried for years to collect from Hammond but "he never seemed to have it."
"Magically, when the Register showed up, he (Hammond) showed up with cash at the clerk's office. I mean cash, $36,000, cash," said Kenyon.
Kenyon said he has tried many things on behalf of the Afton Care Center to garnish wages or bank accounts, but those accounts were not viable.
"We've levied on bank accounts," said Kenyon. "Every year or two we would give it another shot. And we did it again this year and came up empty."
Kenyon said, because this is an attempt to collect money on a civil judgment, it is not the same as a criminal judgment, where Hammond would be breaking probation or face jail time.
As of today, restitution has been paid, however, interest and fees remain.
"For now, a lien will stay out there for 20 years," said Kenyon. "If we can ever find him with some money in his hands, we can take it."

Comments On Feb 18, 2015:The video for this product shows them using only an arousal spray can to clean the box then it being wiped with a paper towel. Who does that? I had concerns if it would not keep water out when cleaning with a hose. It worked great. It has no tabs to line up on the air box but on a modern KTM it is pretty much a no brainer if you have it on right or not. Item allows lots of access to the area so you can get a soapy cloth in the box and get it really clean. I then hosed it out with a garden hose. Not one drop made it past the cover. The exhaust plug is kind of a joke but at the price is pretty much an extra "free" item anyway.

Should We bring laws to protect morality in online games.Because I think the online games are spreading negative emotions and even crime.
Without laws,there'll be no restrict.There are lots of bad things in online games,I'll take one little thing for example.I've seen so many high level players kill low level players.It's just like an adult kicking pupils.In real life,this tough guy will be put into jail.But in games,what he did is permitted.So as many other bad things,like cheating.Games are more and more like real life.The difference is there's laws in real life.If there's no restrict in online games,those bad behavior will be indulged.And I believe that will cause problems not only in games but also in real life,because games do affect our life.More and more people spend more time in online games.It's just like their second life.And living a second life with no restrict every day.I do believe there's something will go wrong sometime.

Sep 25 2012: This is the computer-based evolution of the same uestion that arose from the Television-based revolution. "Are our children being ruined by all the violence and sex they see on TV?"
- +2
I've been alive since 1954. Seen a lot of TV and played a lot of computer games. I've never raped or killed a fellow human being just because I watched TV or played computer games.
The emphasis should be on making sure the individual human being can separate fantasy from reality. If they can't, they will make bad decisions. Regardless of what type of legislation you try to impose.
What's the old saying? "You can't legislate against stupidity." Nor ignorance.Oct 5 2012: Legislation to prevent immoral acts within virtual worlds. No. It's mostly because of the fact that games actually police themselves. For your first example, high level characters killing low level characters so they can't progress or killing quest givers so that, again, other players can't progress. Yes, that does happen. But there are also entire guilds on each server dedicated to fighting the people who play to ruin other people's play experience. In the case of your argument that people aren't punished for bad behavior, like cheating, that is entirely wrong in itself as players can get temporarily or possibly even permanently banned from servers and/or the game itself depending on the severity of the breach in rules and frequency, if it's a minor offense. So are you also going to legislate and punish high level players protecting the lower level players and the game company itself for policing its own product?
Oct 9 2012: That's a great point.I just thought we should do something when I see those crime.Some people just cheat or steal money in game and sell it in the official market or underground with real dollars.It looks like they are allowed to do so.
Oct 9 2012: Enough complaints or getting caught in the act and players actually do get punished. There are consequences, some of which people take away the person's ability to play. Some people still feel it's worth the risk. Unfortunately, in that regard, games actually completely match reality.
Oct 9 2012: I have another question,I just got it from your idea.What if the game company steal our money by useing its game rules.They can change them anytime they want.Several days ago,someone's real dollars are gone,and the company just said "It's the internet,not us cause the problem".

Sep 24 2012: Morality should not be legislated in a civilized country, ethics should, but there is nothing unethical about being a d*ck in some video game. Governments have bigger priorities.
- +1
Sep 25 2012: Yes,I agree with you that morality should not be legislated in a civilized country.I don't take online games just as games,it's like a small society.This is the place with no rules and it should be civilized to narrow the gap between the games and the civilized real life.We don't take it s serious because we thought it's just a game.But I know that many people play more than 5 hours everyday,some even more than their working time.Games do affect their life.We can't force them not to play,but we can built a better environment at least.Maybe laws is not the proper word.I guess game rules sounds better.Sep 25 2012: Did you worked in Chengdu, China this year?
Sep 30 2012: So you suggest legislation to include theft of ingame, paid currency to be a crime? A good idea, but terribly difficult to implement. Then again I'm principally against ingame currency which can be bought and sold, officially or not.
- 0
Oct 9 2012: As a gameplayer,I agree with you that ingame currency can not be bought and sold, officially or not.But the situation is the opposite.There has been a huge market which is full of crime.I just thought we should do something.
Sep 29 2012: Terrible suggestion. Should we do the same to other forms of art? Film? Paintings? Sculpture? Literature? Music? Theatre?
- 0
You figure it out.
Sep 30 2012: As I see, they are quite different.And it may be wrong to do this in other areas doesn't mean it won't be right to do the same in online games.If we looking into history,actually we did something about games.There are some rules about games.We can't rule every single step of people's actions,but we should do something at basic level.I know someone living on cheating and stealing money from other players in the online games.They are having a great time because there's no rules and even no evidence in the online games.
Oct 5 2012: There are multiple rules and lots of evidence in the online games. Enough complaints are made and guess what, the employees of the company that act as the "game masters" end up checking it out because it's all just code. If you know how to read the code, you know what to look for.
Oct 9 2012: As far as the "game masters" can do,they just give you a copy of your equipments,not give them back.They can't give back your money ingame.And the theft just need to creat a new account and do it all over again.All these things we are talking about is just "1" and "0".But when it is connected with real dollars in the offical market.Everything is different.

Different systems in different countries resulted in information confusion at Simoldes Plasticos By consolidating its group activities with IBS Enterprise Financials
With IBS Enterprise in place, Pedro Pinho, IT Director, Simoldes Plasticos confirms how the company sees a much better picture of its business.
Simoldes Plasticos is one of the world's leading developers and suppliers of injected plastic moldings for the automotive industry. It's one of two divisions of the Simoldes Group – the other division, Simoldes Tools, makes the molds. With three factories in Portugal, two in Brazil as well as one in France and Poland, Simoldes Plasticos offers a service to the world's global motor manufacturers.
But this, says Pedro Pinho, IT Director at the company's headquarters in Oliveira de Azemeis in northern Portugal, was part of the problem. "Since 2000 we have had very strong business growth which has our revenue rise to 260 million Euros," he says. "We began to expand all over the world and we had a strong strategy for selling. But that created an information problem. We had a lot of information, all based on different systems, and the linking all of this information was very time consuming." For example, they might have a project using factories in Portugal and Poland, and perhaps subcontracting as well. "It was hard to control efficiency and the total process," says Pinho.
The issue didn't affect the quality of their products or their logistics, but it did affect their internal control structures, so they began looking for a solution which they could use all over the world says Pinho, adding: "We wanted a standard vision, to be able to consolidate and control all group activity." After looking at a number of software suppliers to find the right solution, they chose IBS Enterprise Financials. IBS held appeal since Simoldes had been working with the company for ten years and IBS was also clearly able to provide solutions all over the world.
But an important point for Simoldes was that the software was easy to use and install. "We looked at software which was more complex," Pinho recalls, "but we would have needed more people in project management. We didn't want a big key user team; we wanted straight-forward applications." They set up a small team to work with IBS to define the core model and that core model worked everywhere. "Configuration was not so drastic," says Pinho. "We didn't have to adapt the software – we only had to configure it – and we took a bit longer over the configuration to make operations easier." IBS designed special sub-projects and interfaced the system with Simoldes' production and logistics software.
The system is centralized at the company's headquarters in Portugal, where there is still some fine-tuning going on. Simoldes' main partner has been the IBS office in Portugal, but other IBS offices were involved in supporting the installation in other countries. Roll out throughout Europe took just over a year and two factories in Brazil will follow next. A little extra time was required for the roll out in Poland, due to different legal requirements, but that was anticipated. "The main issue was not with the software but with changing the procedures in the accounting areas," says Pinho. "People who work with accounts traditionally like using paper, but eventually they took to the software because of its ease of use and functionality."
Simoldes has also implemented IBS Corporate Data Maintenance (CDM) software. This solution integrates and coordinates the flow of business information between Simoldes' different units and legal entities helping the company achieve substantial savings and benefits.
Company-wide collaboration and sharing of data helps improve the use of resources through aggregating and automating company processes. With IBS CDM, Simoldes has taken steps to achieve online control of its total enterprise finances – a must in today's economy.
"Because we have a structure that is based on headquarters and then we have plants all over the world, IBS CDM allows us to control and to define things in headquarters and then to propagate this information to all the plants, so it's making our job much easier" states Pinho.
But the important thing is that Simoldes has got what it wanted: prompt figures from all of its facilities in a simple, compatible format which allows for accurate decision making. "We now have more transparency in our business and we can take decisions faster," Pinho explains. "We get on-time reports with all the information we need, and that gives us tight control over costs and inefficiencies. Top management can see things very clearly and promptly. The software provides us with the truth to go after costs."
He says that it is difficult to determine a clear return on investment in money terms just yet. "It's the transparency which is important. But we are already seeing costs dropping and are well below budget." The automotive component business is a tough one, and now Simoldes can go to customers with up-to-date information. "We need real-time figures when we go to clients to talk about prices," Pinho points out. "There is continuous pressure for cost reduction, and we now have the figures to put forward with our case."
The ten year relationship with IBS has provided Simoldes with a business partner that has all the necessary tools for supporting the company's business. "Our relationship with IBS is running very smoothly and we get a quick response. It's all working very well from our point of view," concludes Pinho.

On Friday a murder of Noisy Minor birds started fighting outside my office window. The end result was one of them went down my fireplace chimney.
I pulled the chinamens hat off but he was right down the bottom. I dropped a rope down to him and tied it off. A few hours later he was out.
Today I had to make a grate to stop this from happening again.
The flue is all stainless steel so I made the grate out of the same material.
I did this by eye so it is off a little but I am good with it as I hope never to see it again. I do not like being on the roof.

That should keep the big guys out. Around here I get cow birds in the stove usually in the fall. I've never done anything to keep them out I just practise "catch and release". Time will tell if those horizontal "perches" will keep everything out or you end up with smaller captives. If you do perhaps vertical bars even if they don't reach the rain cap would discourage the birds. Good luck with it and I hope you don't have to go back onto the roof.---Meltedmetal
The ring I made is 6" diameter and the round bars are 1/4".
So the gaps are only an inch.
This is the first time this has happened in twenty years so hopefully it will be that long again.
After I installed it I started to think that now there is some sort of a platform may be the birds might build a nest on the grate. I sure hope that does not happen. The Noisy Minor birds are from India not native to Australia but they are still protected here so we have to practice catch and release as well.

That will stop the big ones but for my corn stove I ended up using 1/2 in hardware wire (screen door material). I would put that on top of what you made(which looks very nice by the way). I used to get sparrows in the stove all the time along with nests in the top of the pipe.Who do you call when the lawmakers ignore the law?

Thanks for the kind words
We have never had a bird problem before living in suburbia. We only see magpies, kookaburra and butcher birds which are all bigger than noisy minor birds and a lot smarter.
