Step 6With your selections ready, click on the "confirm transfers." You must then select 11 players for your starting line-up. Players can only be used in their normal position.

Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!
Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .

Monteleone's Cocktail Bar is Back in Town
Starting on January 25th, if you're going to be in the New Orleans area, make sure to check out the newly reopened Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone. Hotel Monteleone is maybe the iconic hotel of the Bourbon Street area, and the reopened bar is being celebrated with quiet the kickoff event. Starting the six month countdown to the Tales of the Cocktail festival, the reopening will feature special previews of the coming 10th anniversary event, including the festival's first book, Tales of the Cocktail from A to Z. Not only that, the world-record centerpiece by bead artist Stephan Wanger will be on display and you can view the fine artwork while sipping from your very own complimentary Old Fashioned. Continue the festivities with a performance by Robin Barnes.
Alongside the reopening, Hotel Monteleone has announced the coming year's regular performers, always free at the Carousel Bar whether you're staying at the hotel or just in the area. Joining Robin Barnes will be the Luther Kent Quartet, Eudora Evans & Band, the George French Jazz Quartet, and legacy showing Lena Prima, daughter of the Monteleone regular, Louis Prima, in the sixties. While other hotels might give you similar luxury, none will be closer to the Jazz culture at the heart of New Orleans than the Hotel Monteleone.

In Updating the Liturgy, the Bishops Had You in Mind
Change Happens. Ready or not! So it's a good idea to get ready. On Sunday, November 27, 2011—the First Sunday of Advent—the Catholic Church will implement changes to the Roman Missal, the book containing the prayers of the Mass. Several times in the past few years, it has been my privilege to report from the scene at the Fall General Assembly of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Race to the Top
It's time to stop just talking about education reform and start actually doing it. It's time to make education America's national mission.
– President Barack Obama,
November 4, 2009
Race to the Top Coalition Files New Legislation
The Coalition is pleased to announce that An Act to Further Narrow the Achievement Gap has been filed in both the House and the Senate. These bills are very similar to the bills that the Coalition filed two years ago.
With a new legislative session, a new Governor and a new Senate President, we are excited and optimistic about the prospects of a renewed conversation about education reform, one where the Coalition's goal of closing the achievement gap in Massachusetts and improving outcomes for every student in the Commonwealth's public schools is once again an important part of the agenda on Beacon Hill.

Closing the Achievement Gap in Massachusetts
The Race to the Top Coalition is a diverse group of business, community, civic and education leaders dedicated to closing the achievement gap in Massachusetts and improving outcomes for every student in the Commonwealth's public schools.
The original coalition, convened in 2009, played a key role in passing An Act Relevant to the Achievement Gap, signed into law by Governor Deval Patrick in 2010—and was central to winning $250 million in Race to the Top stimulus funds from the federal government, placing first among all states in the country.
Today, the Coalition is focused on passing An Act to Further Narrow the Achievement Gap, which will eliminate the current cap on public charter schools, intervene in many more underperforming schools and promote other crucial innovations that will help to close the achievement gap in Massachusetts.

Ephraim in the wilderness is a phrase used in the New Testament Gospel of John (11:54) used to refer to a town. According to the narrative, Jesus retired to the Ephraim with his disciples after he had raised Lazarus, and when the priests were conspiring against him. It lay in the wild, uncultivated hill-country to the north-east of Jerusalem, between the central towns and the Jordan valley.

8:25 PM-I am getting an image of a little girl running through the forest like she is really scared and in the background I see a little cottage that is made completely out of wood. And this little girl that I am seeing is coming across to me as little red riding hood. My impression is that this is a fictional story, however, it is based on shreds of truth that the author is pulling from his own life. I also feel that the character in the story is either based on his daughter as a child or a granddaughter, and that is who he used as his inspiration. But as far as Anastasia being a real person I think no, but she was just merely and inspired character based upon the authors daughter or grandchild. I think I answered the question.
Q-What percentage of truth do you get vs fiction on this character?
A-25% truth, and that 25% truth is what inspired the 75% fiction.
Q-Is there anything else? A-No

From the book series 'Ringing Cedars of Russia' by Vladimir Megre, about a girl named Anastacia living in the Siberian forest, is Anastacia a real girl or fictional? (There has been controversy about this) If she does still live in the forest with her grandparents, is she safe and still carrying out her great work? Thank you!!

Primal Success at 60
new posts
Please "Like" my new Facebook page that focuses on Peak Performance in Fitness, Nutrition, Business and Sport Science - It's part of our social networking campaign to introduce people to a better blueprint for success in life - Thanks!
Interesting talk on one of the most basic Primal activities - Running. In this Podcast you will find out our about :
1. How gait can be analyzed with video and accelrometry.
2. That not all running shoes are built for function.
3. Is barefoot running beneficial?
4. Sustainable fitness lifestyle and realistic applications of running styles
Peak Performance Observational Gait of Running with David Brennan MS Oklahoma University Human Performance lab - Peak Performance Radio
Don't forget to build playful periods into your fitness training. At one time, maybe many years ago if you're my age, we didn't count sets or reps or worry about how many times we ran around the yard. We just did it. We ran and played and explored and jumped and threw and came in when it was dark. We simply played, and as we played we learned to use our bodies and grew stronger and better each time we did a new activity. This mindlessness, scientifically called the flow state by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in 1975, describes a mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in an activity. Athletes speak about rare, career defining moments where they were "in the zone" and it is this that they are referring to.
Think outside the box. Do a "Tough Mudder" (toughmudder.com). Create teams and have a tug of war Saturday. Organize a pick up road hockey game. Adding programs like Primal Move (primalmove.com) and MovNat (movant.com) will be sure to inject some fun and variety into your normal fitness routines.

Time for a personal update on this Paleo Journey! I've been sticking to an old school body building type of routine for 3 months now and maintaining daily carb intakes between 75 and 150 gms per day. I've been eating more Primal than Paleo recently adding in some Greek yogurt, raw milk cheeses and goats milk cheese crumbles on my salads. The seasonal fruit season has passed and now we will be focusing on fall vegetables and making some hearty Paleo soups and stews. So far I've gained about 12 lbs of muscle and kept my body-fat under 11% (went from 165 to 177 lbs). I've equaled many strength PRs that I had not been able to do since my 20s and it's been very gratifying. (315 lb squat, 380 lbs. dead-lift, 255 lb bench press. Also now doing sets of pull-ups and dips with a 45 lb. plate) As mentioned in previous posts I've also added in some yoga (my biggest challenge) and meditation for a more holistic approach. Still sprint once or twice a week as well. Getting a little bored so I'm thinking about taking a month or two off from this routine and trying something new. Might jump into a CrossFit box or do some MovNat and body weight types of training. I'll keep everyone posted. Wishing everyone much success on their personal journey's to better health!Last edited by canuck416; 09-21-2013, 02:17 PM.

This is a tutorial by Continuum, found at NMA. Hello, Since FO's engine doesn't support anti-aliasing, we can "cheat" this ugly limitation and disable AA only on outer edges.
We must render the scene twice: with AA and without AA (of course every render must have the same size, camera position, etc.). I used FO's blue, transparent color as environmental map.
1) Copy and paste AA to noAA Wink Next you must make a selection on noAA layer (in this case Background):
2) Switch to AA layer and Expand the selection by one pixel (or Contract by one if you selected inverse):
You should get something like this:
3) Simply delete selection on AA layer:
4) Final "composition":
Now it's time to convert image to FO's palette before conversion to FRM.
Image --> Mode --> Indexed color --> select "Custom..." in the "Palette" field --> Load... (you must load FO's palette. Color table you'll find in Frame Animator - default.act). Next you must change "Dither" from None to Diffusion. Save the image.
Good conversion:
Bad conversion:
You can also apply noise filter on bigger "surfaces" for better conversion (test at NMA). On the smaller ones you don't noticed any differences, I guess...

Fellow editors,
I would very much like to have the relatives list in character infoboxes only contain relatives that ARE featured in the God of War Universe,
and that DO have a page of their own. This not only saves space, but confines the God of War Wiki to its own mythology and universe,
which is, in my eyes, still the right thing to do.
That's why we have the "In Greek Mythology" sections in character pages, to divert from the GoW Universe.
Other than that section, and perhaps "Trivia", I don't believe there should be any references to Greek Mythology whatsoever.

Greetings from San Francisco! I've arrived safe and sound in the Bay Area, and have received warm hospitality from my lovely hosts. While you're reading this I'll be immersed in the proceedings of the American Academy of Religion's Annual Meeting, but yesterday I had some unstructured time, so I thought I'd spend it by visiting the legendary Fields Book Store, a vital outlet for metaphysical and esoteric material since 1932. Braving the BART and buses, and with the help of some kind elderly ladies, I soon arrived at my destination.David Wiegleb, current owner of Fields, who I've interviewed via email for a variety of stories over the years, was gracious and open about the challenges … [Read more...]

10 Star development completed with Formcraft
A young man had a dream to build a special multi-unit development on a tight battle-axe block in Lathlain and went about designing a building of exceptional thermal and strength performance.
The over-riding driver for the project was to have a residence that would achieve 10 star rating. When 10 star performance rating is achieved, it is deemed that the building will not require any mechanical cooling or heating and therefore be a comfortable living environment; no matter what the external temperatures.
Formcraft was approached to provide technical information at the design stage. FormPro 220 walls were selected which achieves an insulation rating of R3.5 (over 6 times better than conventional double brick walls).
The FormPro and FormDeck systems were selected and Formcraft contracted to supply and install all structural components, including footings & ground floor slabs. The speed of construction was a critical advantage for the builder who had experienced cost blow-outs in scaffolding and other site hire items on previous sites.
Formcraft, with its exceptionally lightweight forms, can start installing wall forms the day after a slab is poured, concrete curing times do not slow the Formcraft building process.
Another advantage realised at Lathlain was by using reinforced concrete beams, the engineers required no steel lintels over window openings and some of the upstairs walls were employed as upturned beams, giving the engineers ability to span much larger areas & canter-lever distances without incurring additional structural costs.
Formcraft WA products and systems have been independently tested to comply and exceed all applicable Australian Standards.
Formcraft has a strong R&D focus and has successfully commercialized Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) systems used to form super structures that are fast track, pre-finished, insulated and cost-effective.Learn more

DESIGNED TO SELL specialises exclusively in sales with interior design aimed at selling properties. A property enhanced with strategically placed furniture and art has an instant appeal to home buyers. The correct use of colour and design can invoke a response from purchasers when simply viewed over the internet. We create our interiors with promotional photography in mind.
Our properties have an overwhelming impression of space and light and are tailored to a wide demographic. Everything is essential; the overall look is minimalist without being obvious. Quality furniture, luxurious fabrics and original art works placed creatively, produce a desirable original interior that will highlight the individual features of each room.
Our success rate is remarkable; properties selling before auction and above the estimate have become normal occurrences. In this lack lustre market we are now a necessity rather than an option.
The properties we have styled range from old Victorian to very modern, huge 6 bedroom mansions to one room studio apartments. Over the last few years we have installed properties in the following suburbs: Richmond, Toorak, Armadale, Malvern, St Kilda, East St Kilda, Elwood, South Yarra, Camberwell, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Brighton, Coburg, Glen Iris, Essendon, Cremorne, Kew, Caulfield, Balaclava, Port Melbourne, South Melbourne, Albert Park.

For exploring the idea of gender and politics in her dramaturgy I have selected plays "Top Girls" (1982), "Cloud Nine" (1979), and "Blue Heart" (1997). Caryl Churchill brilliantly initiated a theatre practice which is based on feminist reading of theories of Bertolt Brecht and radical experimentation. Brecht underlined the role that theatre could play for offering possibilities and generating political consciousness which in turn will lead to social change. He has laid substantial emphasis on constructing in drama a socialist paradigm; a paradigm that evokes the revolutionary idea that a given state of affairs can be altered, if willed. Brecht's three concepts: Alienation effect, historicization, and the gestus when applied to feminist school of understanding, illuminate the reflection of gender in contemporary society.

what are the ports that need to be opened so that the Spiceworks server in the internal network can authenticate with the the proxy in the dmz
This topic was created during version 5.2.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.
4 Replies
Nov 3, 2011 at 6:41 UTC
Going to send you to the following guide and look at step 12
That link can provide the ports SpiceWorks uses. Now if you are looking to get SpiceWorks to go out to the web through a proxy you would just need to setup the proxy within SpiceWorks
You can access this by going to settings, and then scroll down and click on advanced and international settings. Inside there you can setup your proxy.
Hope this helps!
Nov 4, 2011 at 8:10 UTC
Thanks jay,
I have done the proxy settings before. But the problem is that as the proxy server is dmz and the main collector is in the internal network, when i try to save the proxy settings it says that the test failed. So I am not getting what mistakes i am making. The ports 80, 443, 8080 (on which proxy is runnig) are all open on firewall.
Nov 4, 2011 at 8:41 UTC
I would suggest contacting support directly then at email@example.com
Include a link to this thread and as much detail as you can. They should be able to determine the issue from your log files.
Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Platform as a service (PaaS) is gaining a lot of traction in the enterprise IT world, and you have likely heard about some of the big names like Google App Engine, Amazon AWS Elastic Beanstalk and Microsoft Azure, but there are also some open source competitors, such as OpenStack, that are worth noting. Since we have already covered OpenStack quite a bit, here are four other open source cloud platforms you might not know.
1. Cloud Foundry – From the marriage of EMC and VMware came a company called Pivotal, and that company introduced an open source cloud platform called Cloud Foundry. Designed to be scalable and work well with virtualized environments, Cloud Foundry's foundation is backed by some pretty big names, including IBM, Symantec and SAP.
2. OpenShift – This open hybrid cloud application platform is Red Hat's answer to PaaS. It automates provisioning, is scalable and runs well with a variety of different databases and programming languages. It is designed to run on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and comes with the many features you would expect from this long-trusted commercial Linux provider.
3. AppScale – Designed to be an open source alternative to Google App Engine, AppScale provides you with the easy application deployment you need while also opening it up for free development. Because it is modeled after the Google App Engine API, it is compatible with it and should run any GAE app.
4. tsuru – In the spirit of traditional open source development, we have to mention at least one of the smaller startups. tsuru, with a lowercase "t", is designed to be fast and easy to deploy. It is also extensible and can run on a variety of operating systems.
All of these cloud platforms are free and open source, meaning you can download, modify and even create your own cloud business with them. Some of the companies above also offer commercial cloud services using their technology if you need it. With all of their features and enterprise support, they are sure to give proprietary cloud platforms plenty of competition.

Foreclosures Level 2007
January 16, 2012 by staff
Foreclosures Level 2007, Foreclosure filings fell to their lowest level since 2007 nationwide last year as processing issues stalled many from completion.
Foreclosure filings dropped 34% nationwide and by 26% in Michigan in 2011 compared with 2010, according to data released Thursday by RealtyTrac, an Irvine, Calif.-based foreclosure website.
As a result of Robo-signing and other documentation issues, foreclosure processing has been delayed and it now takes 14% longer to complete a foreclosure, RealtyTrac said. In Michigan, the foreclosure process now takes an average of 283 days, up nearly 37% from 207 days a year ago.
In Michigan, delays were experienced after the state appeals court ruled in April that MERS, or Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, could not foreclose on behalf of lenders by advertisement. That ruling was reversed by the Michigan Supreme Court in November.
That means 2012 is expected to be another bumpy year in foreclosures as processing issues clear up and lenders are able to process more quickly.
The number of properties with foreclosure filings in Michigan last year was 100,248, down 26.22% from 2010. That represents 2.21% of all housing units in Michigan.
Macomb County showed the biggest decline in metro Detroit in 2011 with 10,694 properties with foreclosure filings, a 33.6% drop from 2010. Wayne County filings were down 29% to 25,996 and Oakland County filings dropped 32% to 13,903.
In December, Michigan had the third-highest foreclosure rate with one filing for every 346 households. That compares with one filing for every 634 households in the U.S., RealtyTrac said.
The 13,128 foreclosure filings last month in Michigan include 4,494 notices of default, 4,776 sheriff sales and 3,858 bank repossessions.
Tricia Raymond, a foreclosure specialist with Keller Williams in Troy, said that though there has been a lull in foreclosure listings, more are expected this year.
"If it was really dried up and there weren't any more out there looming and people weren't still losing their houses, then we would be increasing in value," she said. "Everyone knows things aren't stable yet, and more foreclosures are coming."
Raymond said she listed four foreclosures for sale last week and received several offers on each. Lenders have continued to release foreclosures slowly on the market, and there's still a large shadow inventory of homes that have been repossessed but not listed for sale.
New home building has been stalled in Michigan for the past six years as the foreclosure epidemic and falling demand has made building new homes largely unnecessary.
That has created what Bob Filka, CEO of the Michigan Association of Home Builders, calls "a shortage of quality housing" in the state. That, coupled with falling foreclosures, is a small good sign, he said.

Hair pieces aren't just for celebrities—luscious locks are also cheap for the general public. Extensions and wigs get along in different materials, from synthetic blends to 100 percent human hair. Although both synthetic hair and anthropogenic hair pieces offers fair hairstyle options, they are very different, from styling options to price.
1. Maintenance
Human hair pieces acts honest like normal humane capillaceous would, which path its hairstyle will fall in the rainy and humidity. Synthetic hair is pre-set, and will hold jump to the weather. A synthetic hairpiece container blend in with your character hair, but person hair will look more natural, reflecting light just like your normal hair. It also feels more natural, synthetic thatch feels like a doll's hair.
2. Styling
You can change the style about human hair pieces, especially tresses pieces for women, anthropomorphous coif ponytail hairpieces can be used with heat-styling tools, such since thump dryers and curling irons, but that's generally not recommended for synthetic hair. Synthetic crinosity will usually melt when exposed to heat—so take pains around grills and ovens, too—but some blends are safe for heat styling. Be sure to check that you are getting one that works with heat styling if that's a priority for you.
3. Coloring
Human hair pieces can be dyed, nonetheless most human hair pieces for women have already been color treated and it is not recommended to color them again. Dyeing could compromise the state of ponytail hairpieces and possibly leave it brittle and damaged. Synthetic ponytail hairpieces cannot be colored, as the chemicals would cost irreparable damage. If you demise want to change the color of your hair, buy synthetic hair in different shades.
4. Life
Human hair pieces will last approximately half a year by accepted hair care, but synthetic hair only lasts one or bisected months. If you are looking for pilosism pieces for women to wear every day for a long period of time, human hair may be a better option. If you are looking for a hairpiece for a one-night affair or even for just a few weeks, synthetic hair is imaginably the avenue to go.
5. Considerations
Prices for hairpieces vary depending on whether you purchase clip-in extensions, a toupee or have extensions weaved into your hair at a salon. Clip-ins couple to your crown in a section of hair underneath the top layer, and can be bought inexpensively at Adonis copiosity shops and even some drugstores. The evaluate of a full hairpiece will depend on the length, style also texture concerning the hair. The longer the hair, the more it will cost—a custom-made, human hair wig can cost several thousand dollars.
Having extensions weaved into your hair by a professional can cost less than a wig, but more than do-it-yourself extensions, of course. Installing hair extensions is a time-intensive procedure, plus will take three to five hours. You must purchase the hair and pay to allow it put in. If you're looking for a salon to professionally tie in your extensions, be prepared to spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on the initial weave also updates.
No matter what type of hairpiece you choose, human pilous is mainly more expensive than synthetic hair. Also there are cheaper human hair pieces on the market, but most acquire been color-processed and the cuticle has been stripped. You get what you pay for with human besides synthetic hair.

This IDC study examines the market for digital transformation professional services, which is forecast to grow rapidly (with a CAGR of 16.5%, this market is expected to reach $218 billion by 2020)."Projected spending growth in the digital transformation professional services has levelled off slightly compared with last year," says Gard Little, research director, Digital Transformation Professional Services Research. "In 2016, our discussions with clients, and the implementation providers they work with, highlighted the daunting nature of actually trying to change business processes and peoples' behavior-related projects in each of the four major subsegments of cloud, analytics, mobile, and social. However, almost all agree that more intense industry competition plus the availability of new and more mature technology offers will drive slight increases in related professional services spending growth over the forecast period."

Arevik, Armenian
Palm Sunday, April 5th, 2009 "We have put our trust in the living God" (1 Tim. 4, 10)
Dinner and Bonfire After the solemnities, it was time to move to the less formal part of the celebrations, and all were looking forward to it. Moving to the school building, the Principal of the school had graciously put the school area at the disposal of the organizers. Dinner has been prepared there previously, and now it was served for all those present. The Student youth group served the dinner. Their stomachs full, their souls glowing from the celebrations, they lit a huge bonfire to expel the growing chill of the evening air from their bodies. Around the fire, some danced, others talked and shared their experiences, bonding and getting into the spirit of it all, till 11:00 pm when the embers started cooling and the eyes started drooping. The buses dutifully returned all to their respective homes, except those from Georgia, who had the good fortune to be billeted by some warm hearted local families.
The Play: "The Ten Virgins" In order to bring the Bible to life for the current day youth, several themes from the Bible have been chosen and a playwright, Mr. Arthur Edar, has been commissioned to write plays about them. He has already written plays about "The Conversion of Zakkeus", "The Ten Virgins" (invited to the wedding), and still waiting to see the light of day are the themes of "The visit of the Magi", "Searching for the Cross", "The Call of Samuel" and "David's Sin".A group of university students from Arevik chose to perform the play of "The Ten Virgins" which was so well received by the audience that the Youth from Georgia invited the "actors" to go and present it in their own villages.
It was a difficult task for many, but some were filled enough with the Spirit to come forward and give their own testimony to their faith. It is expected, and we pray, that the Spirit will be active in the lives of these youth so they can be moved to give such testimonies more readily in the future.
There are no Catholic Youth Groups in our parishes. With this experience, it became apparent to many that there was a great need to form such groups, and many registered their names and expressed an interest in being active in creating such groups in their own respective parishes.
To conclude the celebrations, tea and coffee were served and the Youth, filled with the fruits of the Spirit, and enriched by their human encounters, renewed by connecting to the Divine, were then bused back to their own villages in order to pass on what they received at this special gathering.

The Guest
One of this fall's most-anticipated films, The Guest stars Dan Stevens ("Downton Abbey") as a recently discharged soldier who visits a family to fulfill a promise made to a fallen comrade. At first, he seems like the model man in uniform – a polite, soft-spoken veteran blessed with All-American good looks. However, after a mysterious and sinister chain of events, the family realizes that he may not be everything he claims to be. The Guest is a smart, action-packed thriller like nothing you've ever seen before.
Out now. The Guest.
Anthony Anderson stars in this hilarious new sitcom as a wealthy black advertising executive living in the suburbs who is worried that his four young kids are forgetting their black heritage, particularly when son Andre starts going by "Andy" at school and insists on having a bar mitzvah. Co-starring the brilliant Laurence Fishburne as Anderson's old-school father, this ambitious series about race in America hopes to humorously discover how we balance individuality, cultural identity, and assimilation.
Premiering September 24 on ABC.
Songs of Innocence by Jhené Aiko
For over a decade, Los Angeles singer and songwriter Jhené Aiko has skirted the periphery of R&B stardom. Having sang vocal tracks for everyone from Kendrick Lamar to Drake, Aiko is about to turn into a full-fledged star. Her incredibly heartfelt and soulful debut album is filled with melodious songs about sadness and heartbreak. The very core of Souled Out is Aiko's unabashed sensitivity. In a climate where everyone seems out for conquest, coolness, or ironic rebellion, it's refreshing to hear someone sing simply of love and heartbreak. This is songwriting at its finest.

How To Build A Girl by Caitlin Moran
Caitlin Moran's hilarious new novel is about an uncool girl who decides to reinvent herself as a rock critic and make her way to London. The NYT describes it as the British version of "Almost Famous" except delivered from a female perspective and set in the early 1990s. Moran, a hugely popular British columnist for The Times of London, has often been compared to Tina Fey and Lena Dunham. This semi-autobiographical sexual coming-of-age story reveals a hint of Amy Winehouse and early Roseanne Barr as well. Brilliant, twisted, and hilarious.

Long term plans or goal can be met with the help of political dynasties. When a government official is to plan something which could need a lot of time to establish, a lot of people will not believe that those plans will happen because someone else would just replace that official and the plans will be gone. But with political dynasties, those plans are ensured to be established as it will be passed on from generations to generations of that family who are part of political dynasties.
A good leader is not made, it is molded. If an individual is born with parents who are politicians, there is a great tendency he will be a good leader himself, for me, it's all about training, a good tree will bare a good seed. Going back to the points made by other people, that WE, as voters, have the power to elect and select these "GOOD TREES" to lead a certain area to success...
We, citizens, should know that there will be no political dynasty if we know what is the right thing to do and who is the right one to vote. We know that citizens in the Philippines have the right to choose their right leader because of the fact that we are in a democratic country.
It is the people who will vote for whoever they want may it be a politician affiliated with another politician. How do you exactly "prohibit" political dynasty? By not allowing them to run just because they are related to another politician? That is now depriving them (the politician) of their right to run for election!
A child reared in a political dynasty can see the workings of politics in an early age. He/she can learn from his/her parents simply by observing, and after distinguishing what is right from what is wrong, that child can become a good politician, that has learned from the mistakes of his/her parents.
We all have the power to keep a politician in the post. And so they are given a term to prove their worth and realize their promises. In our case, our local government have proven more than we expected them to be. Vote buyers will never know if you don't vote them. Just accept their money haha.
A Political dynasty like any other corporation has a boss and relatives of the boss, the line of thought is pretty much the same, if an individual in a particular political party has conflicting views he should go and make his own political party. Now what happens in a Political dynasty, the only flaw in political dynasties is that there is little meritocracy.!!
In the Philippines it is obvious that our government dint do well enough in improving the country. That only means that people who are in position does not have a good governance so why continue it by electing the son daughters and etc. of the current politician. Lets take for example binay who has a SALN of 100 000 thousand in late 1980's which gone up 100 billion last 2014. How ?. Come??
Families protect each other which therefore protects corrupt practices. As in business monopolies in politics are very dangerous and detrimental in society. No one family should take hold over an entire province or city. Genuine opposition should always be present as there are always at least 2 sides to one coin.
Because there are the appropriate person should be there in the position not only the family of a certain person! According to the constitution Article ii section 26 under constitution of 1987.Because there are the appropriate person should be there in the position not only the family of a certain person! According to the constitution Article ii section 26 under constitution of 1987.
Political dynasty is not inherently a good thing. It is often accompanied by picturesque formalities and steeped in custom and tradition but the root of it is the inherited power which the recipients may or may not be able to use responsibly. England has shown us the crown can surrender the power of the monarchy while maintaining most of the pageantry. Dynasties can do the same if it applies but politically they are a weakness.
Political dynasties in American politics aren't necessarily a good thing. George W. Bush decided to finish what his father started by starting the Iraq War. The Bush family has known the Saudi royal family for three generations going back to George H.W. Bush's father. The Kennedy legacy continues for a fourth generation as a new bunch of Kennedy kids are old enough to enter politics. Political dynasties aren't necessarily good things as policies can get old and stale rather than having them change with the times.
Political Dynasty is not good because it is very likely to form a dictatorship , like Naziz in Germany , etc.Also sometimes people do not get their personal rights too, as the ruling government is political dynasty . The people are not allowed to elect their representatives who would run the government ,like India and many other countries. No one is allowed to take part in politics as in the political dynasty it is already decided the member or the son of the person ruling will the next head of the government . I"m not saying that the requests of the people are not being fulfilled but very less likely to be fulfilled. At last I would like to say a very common thing that this type of government will be nudge in increasing corruption.

I've come to realize that the biggest downside to using a discount brokerage is that there really is no personal relationship. Despite the fact that I belong to the "Platinum Group" and have my own "team" at E*Trade (NASDAQ:ETFC) that sense of comfort really doesn't exist.
Nameless, faceless and anonymous. Sounds more like the basics of many street corner transactions for the fix of your choice. My broker may as well be named "John Doe" and I'm "Mr. Smith." Bid, ask, slam and bam and we're done with it.
Back in the old days it was easy. Now I really don't know to whom I should have sent a gift in thanks for not receiving anywhere near the allocation I had requested in the recent Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) IPO.
It's absolutely amazing how quickly the disappointment of receiving a decreased allocation was replaced by a sense of elation, even while watching losses on the allocated shares mount. Talk about conflicting emotions.
Yet, I still sit here with shares, as we approach that one month anniversary and have yet to treat it like the rest of my stable, sitting around in a big Panama hat with a boa feather, while happily writing call options. Not really enough shares to warrant selling calls and no real compelling reason to purchase additional shares to create an economy of scale necessary to make the option sale process a potentially profitable one.
Although you can get approximately a net 7% premium for selling an in the money July 2012 contract at the moment, I feel that pair trading Barclays Volatility ETN (NYSEARCA:VXX) and Direxion Bull (NYSEARCA:FAS) is actually less risky. Those "black hole zombie ETNs" have greater transparency than Facebook at the moment. That's a bad thing.
As we receive seemingly conflicting information regarding the efficacy of Facebook's ad platform, this time a bit more positive news coming from COMSCORE (OTCPK:SCOR), we also hear of the urgent need for Facebook to formulate a means to monetize its mobile application.
The trend is clear. iPads, Droids and iPhones all have untethered us from the laptop, which barely just finished untehering us from the PC. In turn, the PC untethered some of us from a closet full of shirts with front pockets in which we could keep our index cards or Treos.
Even codgers like me have apps plastered all over their smart phone and are continually plugged in to everyone and everything. Yesterday, I was very pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to resolve the short time my 3G connection wasn't functioning, because I would likely have started going through some horrific kind of withdrawal if it persisted.
I'm a reasonably anti-social sort so the outage really wasn't that onerous. I can't imagine what someone that lives life through their internet connection proxy would have gone through.
With all of the nonsense about Zuckerberg being on his honeymoon munching in a McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) with his new wife, while shares plummeted we lost sight of something.
Yesterday, Jim Cramer on CNBC stated what we all know to be true, but still was a brave thing to say. He stated that Steve Jobs, founder and late leader of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) had disdain for shareholders. They were long down on his list of priorities. For all of the talk that Zuckerberg is the next Jobs, its hard to yet see the same kind of vision and sustained execution. But what is clear is that Zuckerberg probably doesn't care terribly much about the shares or the shareholders, by extension. I don't think that it's disdain, however. His primary focus continues to be singular and that is the ideal of connecting the world. He has to be admired for that utopian vision, in that communication is the key to conflict resolution. Of course, by the same token, he has to be criticized for his choice of meals while in one of the world's greatest gastronomical centers.
Zuckerberg, unlike Jobs, has an "adult" in charge of the business aspects and the demands of Wall Street and institutional investors, so he's free to do other things while the world is moving on without him.
The problem is though that the stock price does matter. It matters to many more people than the 500 or so before the IPO.
It is now part of our investing DNA and it is part of nearly every conversation for the past month. It's also been the cause of tremendous wealth destruction and terribly embarrassing to its lead underwriter, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and the NASDAQ exchange (NASDAQ:NDAQ).
Today, I came to a realization.
As Facebook considers the mechanism by which it will be able to monetize their mobile app, why do I need to cede my phone's limited real estate and memory to a Facebook app? Of course, I still don't understand why anyone would pay for a virtual hoe in FarmVille, but they do, only in decreasing numbers as shareholders of Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA) will increasingly attest.
As we become a society defined by our social media connections, there is no shortage of social media mobile applications that allow you to tap into your Facebook account with a simple finger poke, swipe or gesture. APIs can be a two way cutting sword.
I'm certain that someone will quickly point out the functionality that I'm giving up by not having the native application, but look at me and look at the growing demographic that is using Facebook. It's no longer the hip and tech savvy crowd. It's me and my tech savviness from 30 years ago doesn't translate in a very linear way to the many possibilities offered in today's applications.
As Facebook talks about even opening the program to those below the age of 13, good luck with converting those ad clicks with sales and premium ad rates.
The one time core demographic is less and less addicted to their Facebook accounts, status and friends. If your mother and kid sister are constantly plugged in, it's not likely to be a "must go and click ads" kind of place for people with discretionary time and money.
With my realization came action. I removed my Facebook app this afternoon and have perfected the swipe to the right on one of my still existing phone apps.
We haven't heard much from Zuckerberg in the past month. I doubt that the rumor that I'm starting right now that Zynga is developing a game called "RomeVille" that allows players to purchase the musical instrument of their choice, as well as various flame accelerants while the town goes ablaze, is true.
In the meantime, Facebook is showing a trend upward, yet still placing it far from that IPO price. Its cash cow Zynga is imploding.
Although we are used to thinking in terms of economic cycles, I wonder whether we, as a society and culture, are also tiring of the openness and ease of connectivity? Whereas we once feared the idea of "Big Brother" as portrayed by Orwell, we have all actually enabled the loss of privacy by allowing everything about ourselves to become public.
Having done so may have been as bad as bringing Facebook public, as an already mature enterprise and with nowhere to go, but down. Not only in share price, but also in the eyes of its users.
Perhaps the cycle now dictates a return to personal boundaries and maybe even longer hems.
No, wait. Keep the hems and pull the blinds
