For the past few years I have followed the struggle of the people of Malamulele to be granted their own municipality with great interest. The documentation that the Malamulele leadership has produced to justify the granting of a municipality is cogent and formidable. It is indeed an impressive scholarly piece of work. It is compelling and should convince anyone about the dire need to grant the status of a municipality.
Last week the Municipal Demarcation Board produced a 130-page document to rebut the submission of the Malamulele people. The final verdict is that in terms of the current law Malamulele does not satisfy the requirements to be granted the status of a municipality separate from Thulamela. I have not read the entire report but it is clear that it is a meticulously crafted report and the final word on the matter. South Africa is a constitutional democracy and all citizens are entitled to rights contained in the constitution. So the meticulous report of the Demarcation Board goes head to head with the formidable input of the people of Malamulele.
Unless I misunderstand the law, the report of the Demarcation Board's word on the matter is final. Even the national minister of Local government has explained that the Demarcation Board has the final word. What the Board is saying is that the law has a set criteria that determines demarcation and that the submission by the Malamulele people does not meet the criteria. This is critical because the Board concerns itself mostly with the law and the criteria while the Malamulele input is based on service delivery and tribal affiliation.
In my view it is time that the leaders of Malamulele reviewed the situation in the best interests of the community. Leaders who take their people on any form of mass action and protest must understand their responsibility. Somebody, or a group of people, always initiate mass action to address an issue that worries or negatively affects the community. The community itself is mobilized by a particular leadership. This leadership has a great responsibility to the community.
Critical to the leadership of Malamulele is making a distinction between strategy and tactics. The TOTAL SHUTDOWN programme of the leadership of Malamulele needs to be interrogated. Is it a strategy or a tactic? As an outsider it does not look like the community, following its leadership, is seriously considering the question of strategy and tactics in their struggle. However, this is a matter for the leadership rather than the community. The masses will always be ready to follow the leadership.
There is a disturbing development in South Africa whereby communities dissatisfied with government delivery of services resorts to bringing education to a standstill so as to attract the attention of government and the nation. This is emotional blackmail of the worst kind. But let's pause for a while and ask a simple question: whose children are being sacrificed in these situations?
It is not the children of the government whose education is being put on hold. It is the children of Malamulele that are now losing a whole month of education and its dire consequences. They will lag behind all other children in Limpopo and in South Africa and they will not get the grades required to qualify for university admission. It is these learners and their parents who will be the ultimate losers.
When the Malamulele mass action dust is settled, it will be everyone for himself and herself and the leaders will go on with their lives. The community will feel betrayed when they look at their children and compare them with the children of the leaders who are most probably affected by the current mayhem. Fingers will be pointed at the leaders by disillusioned community members when they finally realize that the game is over.
It is therefore important for the leaders to honestly face the reality confronting Malamulele and their mass action. The leaders must convene a proper and sober community meeting and explain the ruling of the Demarcation Board as is and explaion to the community that they have reached the end of the road. In the same way that the leaders convened the first meeting to put the matter of a municipality on the community agenda, they must persuade the community to end the mass action. This advice for tactical retreat and review the matter in light of the current report by the Demarcation Board. This is revolutionary honesty. The leadership must renew their mandate if the mass action is to continue.
It is in this context that the government of Limpopo should also demonstrate some leadership. The cries of the people of Malamulele must be given due attention. The allegations that service delivery seems to be confined to the Venda-speaking areas of Thulamela should not be dismissed but taken seriously by the provincial government. A serious investigation must be instituted and a mechanism developed to ensure that all groupings in Thulamela are treated equally. An honest evaluation and assessment of where most services are going is an absolute imperative and the Premier of the province must be seen to be leading in this regard to give the people of Malamulele hope for the future.
The danger of continuing the TOTAL SHUTDOWN at this stage is that the unity of the community is going to be eroded with time as ordinary people get tired of the struggle and have a sense of the futility of the mass action. It is always better to call off mass action when there is still unity of purpose than to wait for mass action fatique to set in. Accusations and counter accusations become the order of the day when mass action has been overdone and there are no prospects of victory. It is time for the Malamulele leadership to lead or else the consequences, to quote an unfortunate phrase, "are too ghastly to contemplate."

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) is pleased to announce that the Post Release Test for AMS/3.8, an update to the securities market trading system, has been completed successfully, paving the way for the system to be rolled out in advance of the start of trading tomorrow (Monday) morning.
The upgrade will increase the securities market's efficiency and transparency and pave the way for future growth. It will increase the trading system's processing capacity over the current capacity by about 10-fold to 30,000 orders per second, scalable to 150,000 orders per second, and reduce latency to 2 milliseconds on an average trading day, about 70 times faster than present and better than the project target of 9 milliseconds at 30,000 orders per second.
Market transparency will also be improved as AMS/3.8 will display the 10 best price levels compared to the five best price levels in AMS/3.5. In addition, the market data broadcast rate will be doubled from 1,000 to 2,000 stock page updates per second and some legacy system functions will be streamlined to improve Exchange Participants' (EPs) operational efficiency.
HKEx would like to thank EPs and Information Vendors for their cooperation and participation in various market rehearsals and other preparation work for the rollout of AMS/3.8.
As a prudent measure, a comprehensive contingency plan is in place should AMS/3.8 not perform as anticipated. The plan includes a two-week stabilisation period from 5 to 16 December during which fallback procedures will be in place to allow HKEx to return to AMS/3.5, the trading system prior to the upgrade, in the unlikely event it needs to do so.
The system fallback is expected to take approximately three hours. Trading will resume on the same day if 15 minutes or more of continuous trading can be conducted following the resumption of trading and before the end of the trading day. Trading will resume on AMS/3.5 the following trading day should the fallback announcement be made any time after 12:45 pm.
Trading in stock options and stock futures will also be suspended when trading in the securities market is halted. Trading in stock index futures and options market will continue according to the markets' usual timetable despite the trading suspension in the securities market.
The public will be informed when such contingency procedures have to be activated.
Note: AMS, the Automatic Order Matching and Execution System, is the trading system for HKEx's securities market.

Elites Endanger Humanity's Position Atop The Food Chain
For years, enemies of mankind such as Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin have duped the American people into believing we have nothing to fear from allowing megafauna to trundle unimpeded across the face of the continent.
On these propaganda pieces disguised as informative educational programming, we are told that alligators and black bears wouldn't harm a hair on a human head.
However, three deaths at the mouths of ravenous reptiles and the report of a child being mauled to death by a black bear makes you stop and wonder if the wrong people weren't eaten for the sake of the gene pool.
The next time citizens hear of pleas by environmentalists to reintroduce extinct species, they would do well to think back to the tragedy befalling these individuals and their families.
And this will likely become a more prominent issue in the years ahead. With the advent of sciences on par with something out of Jurassic Park, we are talking about more than a stray pack of wolves here and there.
According to one Reuters news story published in August 2005, suggestions are being made to reintroduce elephants and large cats such as lions and cheetahs to the North American continent since it is claimed such creatures roamed the countryside over 10,0000 years ago.
Couple this with the desire to conjure mammoths and sabretooth tigers from hypergenetic witchcraft, and we could have a real nightmare on our hands.
Those worshipping the creation rather than the creator will argue that in all these instances sounding like episodes of the Fox Network's "When Animals Attack", the human victims were at fault for intruding on the territory of the predator in question, and since naturalistic evolution teaches we are no better than the animals, these victims got what they deserved.
But frankly, where are humans suppose to live and if we are to be denied firearms if the gun control lobby has its way, how will we be allowed to defend ourselves?
By unleashing wild animals in the areas beyond designated human sanctuaries (a nice euphemism for relocation compounds), the government will not have to round people up or even offer them much of a payment for their property. The unprotected will be scratching at the door to get on the inside.
Already it is pretty much against the law to protect your loved ones and property from these creatures to which the elites have abdicated humanity's rightful place at the top of the food chain.
In East Manatee, Florida, a retired lady marine was cited for hunting without a license for shooting an alligator when the ravenous reptile lunged through her doggie door on her patio in an attempt to make a quick snack of her golden retriever.
Those promoting evolution and other heresies about nature claim they advocate an equality of species.
However, unless they plan to bring up the trespassing gator on charges as well, what is really being implemented is a systematized human inferiority where we will not only be denied the right to live where we want but also the right to protect ourselves as well.
Had the gator lunged at the presidential pooch, the Secret Service detail would no doubt made quick work of the scaly assassin. If we are to maintain the perception that in the American system that there are no aristocrats or nobility, on what grounds can we deny the average citizen the same right to protect life and property?
In the NBC drama "Surface", the giant monsters prowling the depths of the sea turned out not to be creatures from outer space but rather produced in a laboratory, it was alluded to as the season drew towards its conclusion, for the purposes of a systematic campaign of depopulation where the elites would eventually emerge from their undersea bunker to reclaim a new Eden.
If people do not awaken soon, they might very well find their property, their freedom, and even their very children on the menu of the inaugural feast of the New World Order.

I spent the whole morning packing to move out of the dorm that day. Then we had breakfast at the Harkness Commons. A cup of coffee with a bagel for me, and Noe had apple for breakfast. I then spent the whole morning chatting and exchanging pictures with the Wikipedian (Nicholas and Dror). The participants from india and nepal planned to go to New York by bus together, before going home to their respective countries. While I was chatting, Noe was playing and running around the Harkness Common. He was quite excited with the architecture of the place, with a lot of ramps and staircases. Great design by Walter Gropius. Also, I distributed gifts to the conference committee members as tokens of appreciation.
I then checked out of the dorm and spent the rest of the morning in the Harkness Commons. I had to make a phone call to Singapore because there had been a problem with my credit card, and it was a pain in the ass because I had to waste my time debating with the DBS Bank customer service.
In the mean time, Noe enjoyed himself running around, playing piano, and trying to impress women. He played with astudent of occupational therapy. He is really quick in making new friends! After that, we had lunch at the Harknes Commons cafetaria: cheeseburger (freshly grilled), onion rings, and salad. Noe only wanted to eat onion rings.
After lunch we needed to check into our next hostel in Fenway Area. The lady from the coffee stall in the Commons helped me with booking the taxi. Just before the taxi came, I rushed to buy some souvenir from Harvard coop. Then we drove to Fenway hostel.
The hostel in Fenway is basically one of Boston University's dorm which is converted into hostel only during summers. It was just like a hotel: a high rise building with private rooms, with private bathroom in each rooms, and fully air conditioned. It seemed dusty but acceptable. The mattress was a bit high so I needed to pull it down so that it became safe for Noe to sleep. Then I took a nap for a while. When I woke up, I realized that it was almost 3pm. I pondered a bit on whether I should go out again, because I felt a bit tired with all the packing, dragging and pulling the luggage. But then again, I wont be going back to Boston anymore, at least not in the near future. So I dragged myself out of the bed and put Noe into the stroller and hit the road.
Our next stop was Boston Childrens Museum. I was running all the way to the Museum because we needed to arrive there far before 5pm when the Museum closes. And Catherine Wilbur told me that the museum is really big, one day is not enough to explore everything. So we checked in at around 3.20 and I was so mad to myself that we shouldve arrived much much earlier. We went straight to playspace which caters children below 3 years old. Noe was so excited, he played with other kids, played with the train, went into the pretend-car. He felt so much at home and relaxed with many kids of his age around him. I took a lot of pictures here, but I accidentally formatted the CF card, so I lost every photos.
The Playspace closes at 4.30, so we spent the rest of the opening hours exploring other parts of the museum. The next exhibit was Boats Afloats, where kids could explore everything about water. Noe was so excited playing with fountains, putting the Styrofoam pieces to observe the flow. Then we went to Airplay, where Noe could experiment making music out of different kinds of props. He was really really amazed and happy. Toobad, the Museum closes at 5pm. We should really come back to this place when we return to Boston. The museum is exciting not only for kids but also for adults! Too bad it is currently being renovated, so the giant milk bottle was removed from the frontyard temporarily.
We then continued to go to Boston Common. To safe money, we decided to just walk from Childrens Museum to the Common through Downtown Crossing. The city was pretty walkable, but sometimes too windy. It was so windy that Noes stroller would shift by itself at a speed of 1 meter per minute, so I had to work harder in pushing it. Near Otis Street Noe was crying so I had to stop to breastfeed him in a small park in Otis Street / Summer Street intersection for a while. He was calm after that and we continued walking.
The Downtown Crossing is a pedestrianised street with direct access to the high density highrise buildings (office-mixed use) adjacent to it. Well, not really pedestrianised, but vehicular traffic is discouraged in the area by using rough granite cobblestone paving and allowing activities to spillover to the streets. At the ground floor, there are accesses to shops in the building, roadside stalls selling newspaper, food and fruits, as well as link to the rapid transit station, and the pedestrianised street ends with Boston Common at the Northwest side. With such combination, it is no wonder that this area developed into one of the most vibrant place in Boston. I could see people busking and even people doing anti-war demonstration here.
Walking from the dense Downtown Crossing, we were greeted with a green sight of the Boston Common (which is a public park) at the end of Park Street.
The park was bustling with activities, different people doing different things from a family doing picnic to lovers kissing each other. By the time we arrived in the Common, Noe fell asleep in the stroller, probably due to the breeze.
So I sat on the bench by the swimming pool / water fountain area. Some kids sprayed water towards me but I dont mind, it was refreshing for me to be a bit damp. Then we continued walking towards the frog pond and monument, and passed by an open space which is being prepared for a free concert.
We continued to walk to the Public Garden, which is, of course also, a public park. This garden is actually a manicured public park, which is different from Boston Common (not a garden, just a simple park). Activities in the garden are more limited, you are not allowed to step into the grass patch in most areas. But I saw two muslim ladies doing afternoon prayer in this garden (Thats the liberal US, everybody is minding their own business, and many Muslims take refuge in it).
I saw a lot of ducks and squirrels here. We took photos at the duckling sculpture here. In the mean time. Noe stayed asleep.
We had to meet Nial Djuliarso in Berklee Performance Center a 7.30 and we were still in the Public Park at 6pm. Iwas pondering whether I should take the T train, but then I decided to just continue walking, since the weather was really nice and breezy. We continued to walk along Boylston street, where I took a lot a photos of the urban elements. I had a cup of coffee to wake me up. In the mean time, Noe stayed asleep. We continued to walk along Boylston, passing by John Hancock, Trinity Church, Copley, Prudential, Hynes Convention Center, and finally Berklee College of Music. When we arrived there, Noe woke up.
We immediately caught up with Nial and continued to have dinner in Wendys hamburger (the only decent option nearby, seemingly).
The concert started at 730, and Noe was really excited and clapping his hands just like an adult audience. It was opened with the summer school choir singing three songs, the first one was a jazz song with doowub doowub, then Say a little pray and closed with 521600 minutes (Seasons of Love) from Rent. The rest of the concert was showing the musical theater summer school student, and I couldnt recall the song title, but those students rocked!
After the concert, we went back to Wendys so that Othman could have dinner.
Then we went back to Berklee because both Othman and Nial needed to practice. Nial told me that he wanted to practice more classical pieces to improve his sight reading. Heck, I thought I was too stuck onto reading music and unable to improvise jazz, and this guy, and expert in improvisation, wants to read music? Indeed Nial is really humble about his talent and ability.
To return to the hotel, I decided to walk, because I was too dreaded by the fact that I had to carry the stroller hundreds of steps down to the platform of Hynes T Train station. At least, if I walk two miles to the hotel it would be on a level ground and I would be able to just push strollers. We got back to the hotel exhausted, took a shower, and slept.

The best laid schemes o' mice an' men Gang aft a-gley
Yesterday, (January 5th, 2013) we were scheduled to fly out of London to head back home to Moscow. Our flight was booked for 12:25pm from Heathrow 1, so we had made the effort to book a hotel nearby to allow easy access to the airport to return rental car, claim VAT rebates, check-in and have a leisurely time get through customs, have a look through Duty Free and get a feed before boarding plane.
Our plan was to leave our hotel at 9:00am for 15 min drive to rental depot, followed by 15 min bus ride to airport, so set the alarm on my phone for 7:00am just to make sure we would be ready. Well, in what we should have taken as a sign for all else to follow that day, the alarm didn't go off, so we awoke about 7:50am hurriedly showered, dressed, packed and loaded overloaded rental car, managing to pull out of hotel as planned at 9:00am. Before leaving I checked with receptionist if the Hertz depot I had plugged into my Nokia Drive GPS was the one at the airport and she confirmed that it was, so off we went on the 15 minute drive to the airport, unfortunately it was the wrong bloody depot, so they gave me the correct details and we set out on another 15 minute drive to the right location, finally finding it but being so rushed to catch the shuttle to the airport that we didn't have time to query all the extra charges on our rental contract which I am sure were paid for at the time of booking, will need to follow that one up when I have had a chance to check bank statements.
Anyway, we get to the airport fine and in time to check-in so get all that sorted and head through customs where we are told we can sort out our VAT refunds. Jimmy and I head off to the customs office with a wad of receipts and forms from various purchases over the last 2 weeks, (testament to the lack of sightseeing we got to do….) only to be met by some increasingly grumpy woman customs official who tells us we actually need to show her the goods we are claiming VAT back on and that by stamping our forms she is breaking the law, but given that we are like so many other tourists who don't understand the system and we speak English, she will do it, but don't expect to get away with it next time. After receiving the precious stamps on our forms we then need to proceed to the refund agent, who will pay you the money due but take a fee from it (this is after the amount you are due has had a processing fee deducted by some other company overseeing the paperwork at the retailer's end….). So money in hand we were ready to sort out last of duty free shopping and get something to eat before finding out which gate our dodgy little Russian airline would be departing from. Seems the incoming flight must have been delayed so our gate was unknown till shortly before our scheduled departure time. Once it was flashed onto the screen we headed off to our gate only to know be told that they still had to clean and refuel our plane, so time for a coffee.
Angela's boss had booked the flight, so now seems obvious he booked the cheapest service he could have on Transaero, which seems to fly a fleet of old planes probably acquired after they had exceeded their safe life on other airlines. On our flight to England there was no in-flight entertainment, but in a step up this flight had an in-flight movie, not the on-demand at your seat system you get more frequently these days, but the old screen on the front bulkhead system where the picture quality was scratchy at best. The aircrew handed out earplugs to listen to the movie with, but alas they didn't fit into the designated holes in the armrests… On the plus side they do provide an in-flight meal, although the quality leaves a lot to be desired, over-cooked chicken and rice, a slice of almost stale bread and some other bits and pieces…..
Seems we were to hit Moscow Domededovo Airport along with some fresh snow as the airport was blanketed in snow and after landing we followed a tractor with snow blade on it clearing a path for us to get to our unloading area, which happened to be in the middle of the tarmac, so down the stairs into the snow, onto a bus and off to the terminal. We are greeted in customs by a young customs officer who would have been right at home in the Soviet era, while she is probably in her 20's and reasonably attractive she failed to smile even while the girl in the seat beside her was saying stuff to her and giggling while she went about her job. After making sure that we all matched our photos we were let through once again into the Fatherland, without so much as an "enjoy your time here" or hint of a smile. Next is that chaotic baggage hall, which seems even busier this time, grab our bags and head straight for the exit.
We had a taxi arranged for us and while Angela and Molly waited in the warmth of the airport, Jimmy and I searched the carpark area for the right taxi, armed with the car details and number plate we spent about 15 – 20 mins searching before finally finding the right car and confirming with him that we were his passengers, back to grab the bags and off home, looking forward to being able to spread out and sleep in our own beds. We arrive at our apartment around 11:00pm and drag all our bags up to our floor, only to find we can't unlock our apartment door, couldn't even get the key into the hole. Hell what are we to do ? By now both of our phones have run out of credit so can't call anyone who can help and Angela's phone which has a local Sim, which we could recharge at the local supermarket is almost out of power also, so we head down stairs to ask the concierge for some help, well she can't speak English and I can't speak Russian, so that is fruitless. She does in her wisdom decide to come up and see what it is that is the problem and then we head back down to her office, where she brings out a book of all the apartment owners with their contact details and shows me, but our landlord can't speak English and our means of communication is through his grand-daughter whose phone number we have, but can't convince the concierge to ring her for us. Now stuck for options at around midnight, I run over the road to our local supermarket in the hope that the 24 Yaca sign really does mean 24 hours, as they have a recharge booth for paying your phone account, luckily they are still open and I can get some more credit on Angela's phone allowing me to call the landlord's grand-daughter and explain to her our situation, luckily she is out and about and can get to us in about 1 hours time. In the process of trying to get through to her I ask the concierge to plug the charger cord in somewhere in her office to give me enough power to make the call, in the process knocking her cup of water all over her desk, which I am sure made her even happier that us dumb kiwis had returned. Anyway the landlord's grand-daughter finally arrives and I take her up to our apartment having worked out what has actually happened.
It seems that while we were away, as it was the end of the month, our landlord called in to get our water meter readings, in the process of locking up he locked both of our exterior locks, the first lock sends some bolts horizontally into the door jambs while the second lock sends some bolts vertically into the door head and floor and at the same time sliding a metal plate past the key hole of the first lock making it impossible to put anything into the lock. We hadn't been using the second lock as the key got stuck in the lock on the inside and couldn't get it out so have just been using the top lock which is how the house was locked when we left. We took with us my set of keys, missing the key to the second lock as it was jammed in the inside key hole and gave Angela's full set of keys to one of her workmates in case we needed them to get in for any reason.
Anyway, our apartment was duly unlocked we dragged all our bags in and the landlord's grand-daughter left locking the door to the lift well behind her. After moving all the bags in side and wanting to make sure we had our set of keys handy I asked Angela where she had put them, oh oh, they must be in her bag which she can't find, so thinks she must have left it on the sofa in the foyer, PANIC stations, we are now locked into a building which we have absolutely no way of getting out of. I try to turn her phone on and call Sofia again, but it is taking a long time to restart, finally I get through to her and luckily she had been phoning her mother to tell her everything was OK with the apartment and hadn't left the building yet, she comes back up and lets us out of the building, so I can go and search for the missing bag which I can't find. In typical Russian mentality their first thoughts are that it has been stolen and that we will need to sort out new locks, etc, so I tell her that it will turn up and borrow her keys for the night till we can find ours. Angela in the meantime has found her bag, but not the keys so goes down and has a hunt through the foyer finding them down the side of the sofa, so now we are reunited with our keys, have access to our apartment and can get in and out of it once again, so given that it is now around 2:00am us and the poor concierge lady can get some much needed sleep.
We won't forget that day for a while……

Slider Tab.
I ordered the ostrich leather case in purple, with a detachable strap. I absolutely love it! Quality leather; excellent workmanship in stitching. I really happy with the choice I made. I love the feel of the leather and the color. Nice, pretty leather case for my iPhone 6s Plus. I seriously thinking of ordering another case, in a different color. I love it just that much.
Love my new iphone case. I ordered mine to fit my new iphone including the thin leather case I purchased with my phone. I also asked that there be no tab closure. It fits perfectly and is snug enough where it won't slip out by accident but also easy to remove when I want to answer my phone. Very nice and slim so it slides nicely into my purse..not bulky at all. The leather is a nice rich purple and it is made very well. Very happy with it.

"After numerous conversation with Loreen Playford aka, K9 Pet Chef and certified nutritionist about my Boston Terrier's food allergy issues which were causing ear infections and anal gland problems, she recommended I try her breed specific Boston Terrier recipe. I thought what a small investment compared to the amount I have paid in vet bills for my dogs allergy causing issues. I was surprised that the ingredients needed for the recipe were actually cheaper than what I was paying for the process dog food I was using. It has been a month now on the K9 pet chef recipe and everything is better than I expected, I have seen a great change in my dogs demeanor, he seems more calm and very happy and he loves the food as well as no scratching, no itching and no visits to the vet. Thank you Loreen you have changed our lives for the better!"
Thank you!

Mullingar Camino Walk 2015
On Saturday last the 22km walk from Fore Abbey to Mullingar Cathedral took place. On behalf of the organizers and the walkers, Fr Michael wishes to thank all who helped make the day such a success. There was a huge sense of goodwill displayed across the communities of North Westmeath.
We would like to express thanks to all those who opened their homes and provided hospitality to the walkers. The bells ringing out across Fore and Collinstown, the warmth of the welcome at the stops at Clondelever, Loughegar School, Scally's Forge and by the retailers en route up to the Cathedral was outstanding. We express gratitude to the local authority, media and the Gardai for their support.
Thanks to all the stewards and the people who left out water, seats and sweets en route helping the walkers get home and adding to the enjoyment of the day. A special mention goes to those who guided the visually impaired on the day.
A six minute video of the pilgrim walk is available on the parish website for sharing on the social media #MullingarMonks.

Corinne Maier's tongue-in-cheek book Bonjour Paresse, or Hello Laziness, has earned her a disciplinary hearing.
Hello Laziness or "the art of doing the least work possible for your employer" was written as a comic antidote to all the "how to succeed" management books.
But sadly, Ms Maier's bosses haven't seen the funny side.
She is an economic advisor at the French state-owned electricity board (EDF), which is currently facing partial privatisation - to make it more efficient.
Insulting consultants
EDF bosses seem to feel the book reflects badly on them, though the company is never mentioned by name.
But it was Ms Maier's advice to readers that probably stung the most: "You don't have much to lose if you don't do much at work," she wrote, telling readers to choose the most useless sort of job - become a consultant, an expert or an adviser.
Ms Maier isn't sure what to expect at her disciplinary hearing on 17 August.
But when it happens, she'll almost certainly arrive with a bulging bundle of files under her arm - the best way, she says, to avoid questions from your boss about what exactly it is you have been doing all day.

Kanat Khussainov
Rule 432. General Offenses
It shall be an offense:
G. to prearrange the execution of transactions in Exchange products for the purpose of transferring equity between accounts;
Pursuant to an offer of settlement that Kanat Khussainov ("Khussainov") presented at a hearing on July 16, 2015, in which Khussainov neither admitted nor denied the findings or the rule violations upon which the penalty is based, a Panel of the CBOT Business Conduct Committee ("Panel") found that between May 27, 2014 and May 30, 2014, Khussainov executed twenty-three round turn transactions, across all four CME Group Exchanges. The first sixteen round turn transactions transferred $7,049.00 to an account owned by Khussainov from a second account owned by Khussainov's employer. The remaining seven round turn transactions transferred $4,018.75 from Khussainov's account back into Khussainov's employer's account. The net result of the aforementioned transactions was the transfer of $3,030.25 to Khussainov's account from his employer's account.
The Panel found that as a result of the foregoing, Khussainov violated Exchange Rule 432.G.
In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel ordered Khussainov to pay a fine to the Exchange in the amount of $5,000. The Panel also suspended Khussainov from all membership privileges and direct or indirect access to any trading floor or electronic trading or clearing platform owned or operated by CME Group Inc., including Globex, for a period of 10 business days. The suspension will run from July 20, 2015 to July 31, 2015. In imposing this sanction the Panel considered the fact that Khussainov repaid his employer the net $3,030.25 he transferred.

All the news that fits the print
I wanted to thank the many of you that enjoyed my latest literary offering, the continuing stories from the little town of Clarkdale, CA, the at least one time "
Pistachio Capitol of the World.
" As they like to say down at Big Chief High School,
"Clarkdale, where our nuts are bigger."
Thanks to those of you who weren't absolutely crazy about it either, really weren't too many of you. I plan on looking a little closer at the little town the native's call "Stumpville" in the months ahead and bring you little snatches of the goings on around the fair berg.
For now the story is off the web, we'll let it incubate for a while and season up some.
Thanks again for checking in!

Here is rookie wide receiver Jarius Wright, who has not been active in a game this season …
On whether he is champing at the bit to play: "I just know whenever they call my number, whenever they call my name, I'll be ready to play. I've come a long way mentally. I think I have developed a lot. There's still some (things) mentally I can develop, but I think that's only going to come by playing and getting those reps. I'm 85 to 90 percent a different player since the beginning of the season. Seeing defenses and seeing the way guys move definitely has helped me get more comfortable, even though it is from the sideline."
On being inactive in the Vikings' first eight games: "I just wake up each Sunday morning and hope I'm active. My day is coming. I really believe that. I'm going to wait patiently."

Hey, guys. I'm back with another new book you can buy. Go figure, huh?
Wyrmspire is the second volume in the Realm Keepers series. If you don't know what that is, you probably haven't read my blog. Like, ever. Realm Keepers is my current epic fantasy series, written for teens and up, that's co-authored with fellow indie author and life partner Z. C. Bolger (kidding about the life partner part—OR AM I?)
Okay, so this is normally the part where I'd tell you all the awesome stuff you get for pre-ordering. But I'm not going to do that, because it's already on the pre-order website. Similarly, I'm not going to tell you how pre-orders are only around for a limited time, so BUY NOW, BUY NOW, BUY NOW! Like I'm some douchey online marketer that David W. Wright wishes he could slaughter painfully.
All I want to tell you about this book is that the Realm Keepers series is, seriously, pretty kick-ass. It has characters that you will love spending time with. If you don't believe me, go check out the reviews section of the first book in the series, Midrealm. There, you'll hear from other people who have already bought and read the book. I don't want to sell you on anything. I just want you to listen to other people who have already read it.
Listen, every once in a while, we all just want to sit back, relax and spend our time with a good book. We want to have fun adventures in another world that we can only find on the printed page. And we want to experience things, do things, that we can never do in this boring, hum-drum life of ours.
That's exactly why I'm writing Realm Keepers.
So, I hope you'll check the book out and maybe even consider pre-ordering it. Check out the website for all the awesome reasons why you should. And check out those reviews for other people vouching for it.
See you again in a few weeks.

The PHAUCET (Pipe Hole And Universal Crown Evaluation Tool) program for furrow irrigators is a proven tool that can be used to reduce the amount of irrigation water applied to row crops. However, because of the urgency to conserve water in the Mississippi Delta, it probably isn't being used enough, especially since various sources tout water savings of 20-25% when it is used.
The majority of irrigated soybeans in the Midsouth receive supplemental water through gated poly pipe. The PHAUCET program is designed for use with this delivery system to uniformly water fields with uneven row lengths by calculating the proper hole size for each watered furrow.
The following are presentations that introduce and describe the PHAUCET program.
MSU turns PHAUCET on for Delta soybeans by Rebekah Ray
Improving furrow irrigation with help of "PHAUCET" computer program by Phil Tacker and Steve Stevens
Implementation of PHAUCET computer program as BMP for improving furrow irrigation by Phil Tacker
PHAUCET by John Hester.
The PHAUCET program along with an operation guide can be downloaded from the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta Water Management District's website. Slide presentations that provide detailed information about the program and its use are also available on their website. The program can also be downloaded from the Delta F.A.R.M. website.
The MSPB is committed to reducing the amount of irrigation water applied to soybeans in order to reduce and eventually stop the decline in the Delta alluvial aquifer level.
To accomplish this, all MSPB members who furrow irrigate soybeans have made a commitment to use PHAUCET on 100% of their approximately 18,000 irrigated soybean acres in 2014.
For effect, I repeat this: All MSPB members who furrow irrigate soybeans have made a commitment to use PHAUCET on 100% of their approximately 18,000 irrigated soybean acres in 2014.
By making this commitment, the Board members are being proactive in underlining their personal commitment to water conservation in Mississippi.
Next week, I will report on other Mississippi agricultural groups who are also making this commitment by pledging to use management tools that are proven to reduce the amount of irrigation water applied to other crops.

Hand-stitched celebrations in northeast Pennsylvania.
I couldn't be happier to have worked with Candice and her Patchwork Planning team for my wedding. From our first meeting I knew she was going to be just as passionate about the vision for our wedding as I was. I looked into day-of wedding coordination because, knowing my type-A personality, I knew I wanted to be very involved and do the vast majority of planning and details myself. I also knew that I would need someone I could trust to take over on the wedding day itself so that I could actually enjoy all of the work I had put in to organizing the day. Our reception happened on my family's farm so we had far more to organize and bring in to the space than a wedding at an established site. Candice was such a help with finding vendors that would make the space exactly what we needed. All of my questions were answered quickly. Creative ideas were offered. Problems that were encountered throughout the year, month, week, and day were solved. We had the wedding of our dreams. It would never have come together without Candice's excellent skills. I have no reservations about recommending Patchwork Planning to any couple planning any size or type of wedding.
Candice and her 'wedding posse' as we called them, were terrific. We hired Patchwork Planning to assist with the day-of coordination of our wedding. I was most concerned about the rehearsal, organizing the ceremony and the flow of the reception. Candice eased my mind through it all. She is very timely in answering any and all questions, is very organized and professional, and is also sweet and easy to work with. If you are on the fence at all- just hire them! IT'S SO WORTH IT!Having a small wedding at an unconventional venue made wedding planning a challenge. Candice helped me get through it all and provided me with a personal coordinator assistant by my side on the wedding day. They eased my mind, kept us on track and dealt with any issues before I even knew what was happening.My husband and I had the time of our lives and Candice was there every step of the way. They jumped at the opportunity to assist with everything and stayed until the very end of the night to help wrap up all the details. We are so grateful to Patchwork Planning for helping us celebrate our special day without worry!

At first, the photo series titled Frozenscapes by Gary Jensen could easily be mistaken for the landscapes of Alaska or other cold climate country. Full of spectacular icy scenes, each image looks like it captures a remote cave of some sort. In reality, they were shot in Chicago, Illinois, at the Fulton Market Cold Storage Company.
Growing over a period of 13 to 16 years in the decommisioned cold storage facility, these ice formations can be likened to glaciers and ice bergs. Frozenscapes by Gary Jensen was specially commissioned to document the manmade wonders. It is interesting to note the contrast between the slick ice and the rusty industrial backdrop. As though frozen in time, the Fulton Market facility had lain in waiting to be discovered. Jensen did so heartedly.

My initial training in molecular microbiology was followed by a stint at the University of California, Berkeley working on the pathogenesis of TB. I returned to London for my doctorate studies, again on TB but from a combined bioinformatics/wet-lab angle. I was awarded my PhD in 2008 from the University of London. I then undertook post doctoral research at Pfizer in Sandwich, Kent in the bioinformatics department seconded to the anti-viral research unit. Latterly I have focused on the biology of human disease and I am currently in the epigenetics group of Neusentis in Cambridge, UK. I'm interested in all things cool in molecular biology, epigenetics, bioinformatics and where they cross over. You can find me on twitter and at bioinpharmatics.com

It's yet another day in Florida when Mother Nature ushered in the rain. But lucky for the Dew Tour BMX Vert Finals, the Amway arena is indoor, nice and spacious with really high ceilings. That's a good thing, because you need high ceilings for Vert, especially when Jamie Bestwick is riding. How high he airs is unreal–plain and simple.
But enough about Florida, let's cut to the chase: Jamie Bestwick took first. In doing so, he won the Dew Cup in Vert for the fifth year in a row, and became the first person to sweep all the stops in a season. It's almost pointless to go into great detail describing his style, his arsenal of wild maneuvers, and how high he can blast. You really have to see him live and in-person. It's pure spectacle.
Jamie Bestwick Super Indian
Concentrating on his first run, Jamie fired out an Indian air seat grab, floated a couple extended tuck no-handers, connected downside whips higher than some people can air, and somehow managed to pull off an alley-oop downside whip over the channel. Jamie floated the downside whip so far that it almost ejected him off the ramp after landing. But with a little bit of finesse, he took control and remained afloat to finish his run with a foot-plant flair. There was no need for him to put too much effort into his second run–his first sealed the deal.
Coming in second today was Chad Kagy, who also took over second place in the overall standings. The guy is a variation wizard. He conjured up endless wild moves beginning with a super-man seat grab over the channel, perfect flair-whips, absolutely amazing inverts, x-up nac-nacs, and the virtually impossible superman seat-grab bar spin. For some riders, this variation would take years to attempt. Kagy, however, does it every time. His first run was a charm. His second run, not so much after a double whip gone awry. With 326 total points for the year, Kagy just barely edged above Steven McCann in the overall standings, who came in third with 322 points.
Stevie had come in third at every stop so far this year, but today, that spot on the podium went to Kevin Robinson. K-Rob has his runs down pat giving each wall got a dose of something—an alley-oop 270, an alley-oop flat spin, a perfectly stretched super-man, an amazing opposite no-handed flair over the channel gap, and to top things off, Robinson threw in some back to back flairs. A solid first run for sure, but his bail on a flat spin 540 cut his second run a bit short. With 278 total points, Kevin Robinson ended up in fourth.
Honorable mentions? Let's go with Steve McCann to start. Landing fourth place in today's finals, McCann pulled two flawless runs including a no-handed 540, a perfect superman seat grab, and a bar-spin to whip at some serious heightt–consistent and dialed.
Jimmy Walker (sixth place) was, as usual, all over the ramp. His banger for the day came in the form of a 900—his first ever. Looping out on first attempt, his second run couldn't have been any more perfect. Congrats to him on overcoming that demon.
Fransisco "Coco" Zurita (fifth) and Vince Byron (ninth) were at it again with plenty of new school flair. Coco's ridiculously high airs to late inverts are simply amazing.
And lastly, serious props go out to Australia's Tim Wood. Tim went down from a back tire hang up on a 900 attempt, and despite hitting hard enough to eventually need seven stitches in his chin, he recovered almost immediately and came back for his second run. The trick to this was Tim simply getting up after the fall. And to boot, he finished his second run throwing down a cache of goodies.

Dodge announced this morning that it'll be bringing refreshed 2015 Charger and Challenger models to the 2014 New York Auto Show next week.
The Challenger will get a new powertrain combo, which we're hoping is the 640-horsepower Hellcat V8. And the Charger "receives a full-body makeover with nearly every single body panel being resculpted," according to a Dodge press release.
If you're keen to get your hands on some serious American muscle sooner than 2015, Dodge has you covered there, too.
2014 Dodge Charger and Challenger are getting the "Scat Pack". American muscle has never been so scatty … OK I don't know what that means. But it gets the people going, let's say.
And get them going it should. The Scat Packs for Dodge's infamous Charger and Challenger are an industry-first performance upgrade set for the 5.7-liter HEMI V8.
The Scat Packs come in three flavors. Scat Pack 1 – at $2,195 – includes a Mopar cold air intake, Mopar cat-back exhaust, Stage 1 performance PCM, Mopar low restriction oil filter, and two Scat Pack 1 stage kit hard badges. And for just shy of $2,200, how much extra scat – er, I mean power – do you get? A whopping 18 horsepower and 18 pound-feet of torque. Wow!
Scat Pack 2, which runs at $1,895 – in addition to the $2,195 with Stage 1 – includes Mopar performance camshaft kit: includes camshaft, tiebars, heavy-duty pushrods and gaskets, Stage 2 performance PCM, and two Scat Pack 2 stage kit hard badges. Scat 2 adds 30 ponies over stock.
Last but lost least is Scat Pack 3. Totaling $4,995, muscle-obsessed owners get a Mopar performance CNC ported cylinder heads, Mopar hi-flow headers, Mopar hi-flow catalysts, Stage 3 performance PCM, and two Scat Pack 3 stage kit hard badges. For nearly five grand, what kind of extra power are we looking at? 58 hp and 47 lb-ft. Yeah.
While these packs won't affect your warranty, I feel like these upgrades don't quite seem worth the coin. If you're interested, though, the Scat Packs will be available at your local Dodge dealers in the Spring.
We'll be in the Big Apple next week at 2014 New York Auto Show with live coverage. So be sure to check back for our first-look video on the 2015 Dodges and much more.

Reviewed by Brianna L. (age 10)
This book is funny and it really makes me laugh. The reason it makes me laugh is because of all the crazy words and the things they say in this book. It even sometimes makes me laugh out loud when I'm reading it at home by myself and sometimes when I read it to my parents. It is so good! I wish I could read it a million times. After I'm done reading it I would like to read it again. Those are my thoughts and feelings about this book.
I recommend this book to people who love comedy and good exciting books.This book also connects to my family because sometimes my brother acts crazy like Fudge. My favorite character was Fudge because he is so wild, crazy and funny. I like that. I felt good also while reading this wonderful book. It's the best!
