The government is considering exempting investors from tax on capital gains accrued when they exit a startup, in a bid to attract more funds into the sector.
The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is weighing two alternatives to deliver this incentive — one, a blanket exemption, and two, a conditional exemption based on funds redeployed. The latter would be on lines of the benefits offered to nascent firms in the UK.
"We want to recommend that they should be exempt from capital gains while exiting," an official told ET, adding that DPIIT is yet to make this recommendation to the revenue department. DPIIT will moot the idea when the new government takes over. The final budget for FY20 is likely early in July.
After giving investors and entrepreneurs relief from the so-called angel tax, the government now wants to encourage startups and is examining regulatory issues, including taxation, which need to be eased.
At present, startups get two sets of exemptions related to capital gains tax. Under Section 54 GB of the Income Tax Act, they get exemption from tax on capital gains arising from sale of a residential house or plot if the amount of net consideration is invested in equity shares of an eligible startup for purchase of a specified asset.
Further, Section 54 EE of the Finance Act, 2016, provides for exemption of tax on capital gains arising out of transfer of long term capital assets — not exceeding `50 lakh in a financial year — invested in a fund notified by the central government.
These benefits provide relief to those who liquidate personal assets to fund their startups while the next set of incentives under consideration seeks to encourage all investments in startups.
"It is difficult to exempt investors on the basis of income, but we can make them capital gains tax exempt on exit if they invest in our startups," said the official. "We are also thinking whether this clause should be limited to Indian investors or (include) everyone, along with the conditions of exemption, such as redeployment."
Experts and startups have lauded the idea. "In the UK, such angel investments get tax breaks if they replough them into startups. This helps minimise fraud and more capital gets deployed," said an industry watcher.
As per Sachin Taparia, chairman, LocalCircles, the government can give a window of around two years for them to reinvest in the startup ecosystem.

A bigger budget for a smaller, more ambitious EU.
That is the political math of the European Commission's proposal on Wednesday for a roughly €1.279 trillion spending plan for 2021 to 2027.
The proposal, unveiled in the European Parliament by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Budget Commissioner Günther Oettinger, will pose an even greater test of unity for the EU27 than the tense negotiations with the U.K. over its departure.
In squeezing and pushing not only to fill the roughly €13 billion annual hole that will be left by Brexit, but also to ramp up spending on new priorities, the Commission has set forth an initial list of winners and losers who will spend the next two years or more fighting bitterly to shape the final outcome.
For the wealthier northerners, most vocally the thrifty Dutch, Brussels is stretching the post-Brexit checkbook too far. The Eastern Europeans — the Hungarians and Poles above all — won't take kindly to the barely concealed plans to punish them over alleged backsliding on democracy. The southerners will like the extra funding for border control to handle the migration crisis. Big Pharma will like increased spending on research. Farmers won't be happy to see their subsidies go down.
Ultimately, the decision lies with the 27 leaders on the European Council, who in traditional fashion are expected to eventually negotiate through the night, with an array of last-minute buy-offs, compromises and concessions needed to secure a unanimous vote.
The financial blueprint unveiled by the Commission, called the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF), smashes through the previous budget cap of 1 percent of the bloc's gross national income (GNI), and seeks to push overall spending to 1.114 percent — even as the bloc loses Britain's sizeable net contribution to EU coffers.
"The new budget framework … will decide the future of our Europe of 27 and will determine our legacy to forthcoming generations," Juncker said. "The level of the budget is not without consequence. It is directly linked to our ambitions."
Juncker insisted that the Commission has exercised restraint, by rigorously reviewing all existing programs for cuts and not simply putting forward the entire EU's wish list, which he said would have been rejected out of hand by all 27 EU countries and most members of the European Parliament.

Help: Bluetooth speaker cutting of first few words
#1 ApK 03-04-2019, 03:43 PM
I've discovered a weird issue recently, trying to listen to audiobooks from my phone on any of a variety of portable, battery powered, waterproof Bluetooth speakers (shower speakers...).
On several speaker, from dollar-store specials to moderately expensive Altec Lansings and others, and using several playback programs from (e.g. Audible, Listen) I get the same problem:
This first few words spoken after any silence longer than a fraction of a second get lost. It's as if the amplifier goes to sleep for power-savings after half a second with no audio, and then takes half a second or so kick in again.
In fact, I suspect that is exactly what's happening.
I have no issue playing the same content via Bluetooth on my Echo devices or my stereo system (all of which are mains-powered and therefore, as I suspect, power-saving is not as aggressive), nor does it happen on any of my Bluetooth headphones, which have batteries, but perhaps because they don't need to drive a large speaker, also don't use the same sort of aggressive power savings?
Any one seeing similar issues? Any thoughts or solutions?
#2 haertig 03-06-2019, 01:48 AM
At the beginning of your post you mentioned that this affects many different connected Bluetooth devices (speakers). The common item was apparently your phone that was playing the audiobook. This would lead me to believe that it was something on your phone that was causing the problem. But later in your post you mention that you do not see the problem on several other bluetooth devices.
What you need to do is isolate if the problem is in your phone, or in the connected bluetooth devices. One way to begin this investigation is to ask a friend to use their phone to try to play audiobooks on your problem bluetooth devices.
You are trying to see if the problem is following your devices, or your phone. Note that you should only change one parameter at a time, because if you change multiple things between tests, you don't know which thing caused the problem. So when testing with your friends phone it would be best to install the exact same audiobook player app and play the exact same audiobook. This implies that if your phone is Android, find a friend with a phone that runs Android too.
You also need to identify all the components that you want to isolate (test). i.e., what could potentially be the cause of the problem? A few things come immediately to mind: it could be your bluetooth speaker(s), it could be your phone, it could be the app you're running on your phone, it could be the specific audiobook you are playing, it could be a power saving setting as you mentioned. Those are off the top of my head, there could be other possible culprits. You should try to identify all the potential culprits and then do some testing my changing
only one possible culprit at a time
. Don't take short cuts and skip tests, and don't rule out things based on a hunch, don't indict something based on a hunch - you must test and prove/disprove specific things.
This is basic scientific "design of experiments".
FWIW, I have never seen a power saving setting, even an aggressive one, that would cut power in the "fraction of a second" that you are reporting. And you say you are seeing this on multiple different Bluetooth devices. As I said above, you don't want to rule this out without testing to prove/disprove, but I propose that you do not have multiple devices (I assume different brands, models, etc.) that were
designed by brain-damaged engineers who kick in power saving in a fraction of a second. That makes absolutely zero engineering sense.
You also mentioned "recently" in your post. I'm assuming this means that your same problem devices
used to work OK
but now they don't. If this is indeed true, then that makes the aggressive power saving theory even more unbelievable. Multiple different devices all went bad at the same time? That's not terribly plausible.
If I were to hazard an engineering "guess", I'd say this is probably an issue with your phone. Or the app you are using on the phone. Or something in the OS of the phone.
Making it harder to diagnose is that it is most likely an intermittent problem. e.g., the Echo devices that you say are working fine today may not be working fine tomorrow. You just haven't seen that happen ...
. It may work for a while, then not work for a while, and it's somewhat random bad luck for a device to be connected when it stops working, since that device then gets blamed.
I believe you may be chasing intermittentcy at this point, and that is preventing you from getting reliable test results. Note that with intermittent problems, testing something only once may not be enough. It is possible, quite likely actually, that you may need to test and re-test the same potential culprit over and over to get a reliable result. I would first try re-running all the tests you've done thus far
from a friends phone
. My hunch is that this testing with a different phone might shed a little light on the subject. But you never know, the testing is still required - my hunch is only a hunch, it holds no value when compared to actual testing.
#3 ApK 03-06-2019, 12:50 PM
Hey, haertig,
Good troubleshooting plan, indeed.
What I was hoping for was for multiple people to chime in with "Oh yeah, I had that exact same issue, and it turned out to be {x...whatever}!" which would have short-circuited the need for all the testing.
I'll mention a few items before I go off and get all methodical on it:
1. "Recently" referred to the fact that this problem started with recently purchased, current model devices, which fed my suspicion that it might be related to a new Bluetooth version, which I though perhaps implements some power management older devices and mains power devices don't. Just speculation.
2. Thankfully, there's nothing intermittent. On the devices it happens on, it happens all the time, on the other devices it never happens. Completely reproducible.
3. I've tried with several apps and different content. Results are consistent.
If no one posts a magic bullet for me, I'll continue to test as you advise over the weekend. Fortunately in my household I have several phones to try, including another specimen of a phone like mine.
#4 haertig 03-06-2019, 06:40 PM
You've got a weird one there, that's for sure.
It sounds like you have done your due diligence in testing so far. Sometimes that is difficult to tell reading a post on the internet, so I apologize if I came down as preachy. When reading a post, you just never know if someone knows what they're doing technically or if they don't. So I usually start at the beginning, with the basics. Turns out you had already covered those.
I would be interested to hear what comes of trying this with a different broadcasting device (phone). Since you have tested various apps and various audiobooks and verified repeatable results, there's not a whole lot left in the "common element" area to test (of course, I could be overlooking something!) Your phone is a common element, as is it's OS, as is it's hardware Bluetooth implementation, as is it's Bluetooth version, as are any software config/settings you have in place.
What do you bet - if you simply reboot your phone, the problem will go away, and you'll never figure out what caused it. That's the kind of luck I have. Then five years from now the problem will reappear, and if you're like me, you'll have forgotten that you had the same problem years in the past, you'll do a Google search, and you'll find your own original post here on MobileRead in the Google hits! Don't laugh - that has actually happened to me. I got really excited once because it looked like I had found someone who was experiencing my exact same problem. But that poster was ME, a few years back! Talk about feeling like an idiot...

Where the World Ends
Geraldine McCaughrean
Based on a true story from the wildest and most remote of the Scottish Isles and on events which took place nearly 300 years ago, Geraldine McCaughrean brings to life the characters from a very alien time and place so wonderfully that we instantly empathise and become engrossed in their ordeal.
A party of nine boys and three men is set ashore on an isolated rock stack half a day's sea crossing from St Kilda. They are to collect the seabirds and eggs for the annual harvest which is essential for the islanders' survival. But the boat for their return home never comes. As the weeks and months go by somehow the party survive, showing incredible fortitude but accidents, betrayal and the terrifying weather make it the most traumatic ordeal. Eventually a boat arrives but why did no-one from St Kilda rescue them? How will the boys be affected after they return home? Where the World Ends is a tragic but beautiful and original novel from a brilliant storyteller – it will move you deeply.
Winner of the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2018 and the Independent Bookshop Week Award 2018, and shortlisted for the UKLA 2018 Book Award, Where the World Ends is a great read with engaging characters and a gripping plot – perfect for readers age 10+.

It was a perfect choice when members of People Power Party picked an old hand in politics with bruises and scars, Samak Sundaravej, to lead what is promising to become a dreadful and probably violent political vendetta.
Sopon Ongkara
The Nation
Published on August 26, 2007
Samak wasted no time and left no doubt in peoples' minds when he declared that he would serve as a "political nominee" for Thaksin Shinawatra, now seeking exile in London and branded a fugitive criminal with at least two arrest warrants issued by the Criminal Court.
Interestingly, an editorial in The Nation defended Samak's right to participate in politics, contradicting Sopon's anti-democratic tendencies to disenfranchise and incriminate anybody associated with Thaksin.
Samak in politics is everything but harmonious and courteous. His mouth serves as his most fearsome weapon, though at times self-destructive - as seen from the decline and eventual demise of his Prachakorn Thai Party.
I am suprised Sopon doesn't embrace this; stylistically,they are both two peas in a pod.
The way he displayed his confrontational political style amidst thunderous applause from party members, Samak was back to his original form - combative, abrasive and spoiling for any kind of a fight.
"You hit me, and I hit back. It will be just like that," he declared.
This might be refreshing, if it is done within the auspices of the law.
Samak's words represented a complete disregard for more than 10 hours spent by the Constitution Tribunal in describing how Thaksin, his family members and cronies had inflicted severe damage on the country through various means such as massive corruption, abuse of power and other misdeeds.
Soponism 1: What does Samak wanting to fight back have to do with Thaksin's crimes?
In a nutshell, Samak is ready and willing to serve the accused, who he considers a victim of a coup and undemocratic process. The 72-year-old veteran must have forgotten that back in 1976 he was a shining star in a regime serving as a product of a coup as well.
It looks like Samak is a beneficiary of two coups. Thanks Sopon for point out the bleeding obvious.
What he intends to achieve can foretell what is to come - before or after the general elections expected late this year: political turbulence if not violence arising from confrontation and power play.
Soponism 2: Write so badly that the audience has no idea what the hell he is talking about.
As a tough fighter, Samak does not care much about the ways and means he chooses to win over opponents. His long years in gutter politics, including the period of horror and terror, serve as a strong testimony to this.
Again, stating the bleeding obvious.
His re-emergence proves again that in politics there is life after death. It must have been a very seductive offer from the fugitive criminal in London to draw Samak out of his twilight and down time to try another comeback, this time armed with a huge war chest.
What war chest? Politicians are supposed to declare their campaign funds; ironically, a worthless paper like The Nation won't ever publish any reports about campaign financing.
Samak would love to fight with big money, as a man with nothing to lose. It serves many purposes. His combative style can draw the bad light away from Thaksin, while showing that he, Samak, is not washed up or can be counted out.
It would not be far off the mark to say that Thaksin and his cronies will dump billions of baht for Samak and the People Power Party to win the upcoming election. The large campaign funds will be just small change compared with the massive assets Thaksin owns, frozen here or stashed abroad.
Soponism 3: Always over-estimate the power of Thaksin's wealth on Thai politics. Soponism 4: Never document with facts how Thaksin's wealth affects Thai politics.
Yet Samak still faces formidable obstacles to political grandeur. He is waiting for the judgement of the Appeals Court after receiving a two-year jail term, without suspended sentence, in a libel case filed by a former deputy governor of Bangkok.
He has been engulfed by scandals related to the expensive procurement of fire-fighting vehicles and suspected corruption in a garbage-disposal project. These charges could derail his plan to serve as Thaksin's nominee in political victory and settling of scores.
With the junta chosen investigative committees going after Thaksin's family, allies and friends, Samak's 9th life might be short-lived.
His strong weapon, his oratorical skills and combative style, are also a weak point. Samak is not a man who wants a compromise, unless he is put in a tight spot or faces the risk of jail terms. He has escaped possible imprisonment through pleas and charm to soften the hearts of his plaintiffs.
But certainly not this time, if the Appeals Court upholds the ruling, because the plaintiff is affiliated with the Democrat Party, his arch-rival, if not permanent enemy.
Sopon's writing is so horrible and the syntax convoluted, I don't know if I can follow this. Is he saying that Sopon won't win on appeal because the plaintiffs are Democrats?
Our politics from now on will not be far away from the gutter, surely more colourful and dreadful, with promise of turbulence and money dumping. Ex-Thai Rak Thai Party members, now split into many groups as unbranded nominees of Thaksin, can regroup to reclaim power.
Soponism 6: I agree with this Soponism.
This is not sheer pessimism. The lack of a stable political situation before or after the election will be due mainly to the unfinished business, or unfulfilled missions, on the part of the coup-makers and the Surayud government.
Soponism 6: Sopon blames the junta for not destroying Thaksin, and that is why we are in this mess.
The failure to carry out political reforms and national restructuring to lay down the proper groundwork for reconstruction of democracy underscores the belief that we are still far from political maturity.
Soponism 7: Huh? Dude, an entire constitution was re-written by his beloved junta in the name of political reform and national restructuring.
If big money prevails, preceding instability, then rumours of a coup and scenes of troops and battle tanks on the city streets are always a distinct possibility.
And so it ends with more horrible writing and convoluted syntax.

A reader commented on this blog yesterday and spoke so eloquently about having ADHD that it inspired me to revisit the "realization" phase of ADHD discovery.
When Driz was reading in my blog about Acedia, the phrase they used was, " … a dreadful feeling of recognition."
I remember that
Oh how I remember that. Just reading Driz' words gave me shivers.
I remember suddenly feeling like I was looking at photos of the first fossils of me discovered thousands of years in the future, long after I'd been a primitive entity, aimlessly roaming the earth, trying to figure out who and what I was.
It is possibly not unlike the feeling of a person who was adopted discovering their family for the first time.
And the shivers?
They still happen when I realize how much of my life went by with me not knowing what the hell was going on with me.
Well, that's not quite true, I knew what was going on, mostly, but I didn't know why some of it happened, and I didn't know that it wasn't the same for others, and I didn't know that I couldn't change the parts I knew were different.
Can't change?
It's a matter of perspective. I can change how I deal with and how I approach situations, but I can't change who I am.
The perspective is all in the knowing. You see, having ADHD and knowing it means that I, and Driz, and the rest of us, can appreciate the differences and the needs and the reactions and the approaches and all of it.
And that means we can learn how to deal with ourselves, how to make our lives work.
Knowledge is power
It is half of a toolbox full of tools.
And the other half of that toolbox we fill up with coping mechanisms that we make or discover on our own.
But we make and discover those tools much more easily when we know more about what we are dealing with.
Driz also said:
"Months after the lightbulb went on I'm still discovering ways in which it's been impacting me all along."
That's a good thing, Driz.
We've got a lot of catching up to do, let's not ever quit examining the impact of our disorder on our lives.
And let's not ever quit sharing what we've learned as we go. Our friends, our family, and our children, our friend's children, our nieces and nephews can all benefit from our understanding.
As well …
Every person we come in contact with will benefit from our being better people.
Understanding ADHD for us is a win/win situation.
Those around us get our best, and we thrive.
So when you discover another little bit of yourself hidden in the rubble and wreckage of the life you were holding together until the bomb of discovery went off, pick it up, dust it off, and say to yourself … "There you are."

Well that escalated quickly…Posted: July 11, 2014 Filed under: benefits, disability, PIP | Tags: atos, benefits, disability, pip 2 Comments
It's that time again…my six month PIP-iversary! And what did I get as a kind gift?
An ATOS assessment. On Monday morning.
To explain: I called the lovely DWP this morning as my application has now passed the golden 26 week mark and I was finally allowed to talk about it to another person!
"Hmmm" she said, "we sent your application to ATOS in February, you've not heard anything?"
"No" said I.
"Ah" she said. "Do you want to call them and see what's going on?"
"Not especially" I thought. "Yes" I said. She gave me a phone number, so I called ATOS.
Who had a cancellation for 9am, Monday morning. Hurrah! Oh god…
So, now I have my ATOS assessment for my PIP application. Have roped my mum along into being my transport plus an "advocate" while I'm in the appointment – I need someone else to remember stuff for me. Ideally I'd take my husband but in this instance he would not be a good person to take. Why?
Because he uses a wheelchair, and I can't turn up to my PIP assessment with someone who is more disabled than I am. ATOS are famed for making ridiculous assumptions, and seeing me as the "less worse off" one would not count in my favour. So, no husband on this one.
So that's the situation. Seems to have gone from standstill to full throttle in the space of no time at all. I have, at least, got the very good guidance notes from Benefits and Work so I will study them this weekend, and revise for my assessment.

Below we try to answer questions that might arise outside the content of other pages. Please contact us with any questions that remain unanswered.
- What's the difference between membership OPT-In Dental Advantage and in OPT-In Dental Laboratory Cooperative?
The OPT-In Dental Laboratory Cooperative is a separate entity, comprised of independently owned laboratories of 20 technicians or fewer. They have all the benefits of and are included in the membership of OPT-In Dental Advantage, plus, marketing to dentists through monthly national emailed Clinical Updates Newsletters, and national print ad campaigns. They also have a private internet forum, and receive ongoing business training, as desired. Membership benefits in OPT-In Dental Advantage includes the same group purchasing and webinar privileges, plus lab name and website recognition in our two websites. Ten nonthly CE webinars for doctors and technicians are presented annually by our co-directors of education, Peter Pizzi and Dr. David Hornbrook for both memberships.
- Why do I need to have a business license?
An area for improvement is the legitimizing of the dental laboratory industry as the true profession it is. We want to see laboratory owners and technicians receive full respect for their knowledge and talent, and be able to assure patients that their laboratory partner is a serious contributor to their care.
- Why are their different dues levels?
We believe in inclusion, and, each of us contributing at the level to which the industry has benefited us. We believe that is the fairest approach possible, for all lab sizes.
- Is membership mainly for high fee labs and dentists?
Not at all. Because the majority of clinical fees have pressured the majority of lab fees it is very important to have every level and type of lab represented. Besides, this is about supporting laboratory customers and our collective future in patient care, nothing else.
- Why do we have to take business CE?
We are competing with very business astute individuals and their companies. If we are to compete at the highest levels, we need to sharpen our business skills. There is simply no way to easily continue doing things the way we have always done them. We know that from materials. Now we have to apply that same kind of thinking to the business decisions we make.
- Why don't you just work with the small lab group?
The challenges we are facing today are far broader than lab size. If we are to effectively mount a competitive effort, we need all serious members of the dental laboratory industry involved and supporting private practice. The same is true for practitioners.
- Will my lab receive dentist referrals?
Every laboratory member of OPT-In Dental Advantage will have their laboratory information and website listed in two websites. It is very possible you will receive inquiries from dentists viewing your information. We also suggest your laboratory take a high profile position in your region as a supporter of private practice, a very strong statement about your conviction to supporting nearby practices.

I can't even begin to tell you how high I jumped when that damn bag moved the first time I saw Audition. I know it scares most people, but for some reason...I yelped something fierce.
09) SHUT UP LINDA!!: Evil Dead
I hate creepy laughter. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. If I'm ever in a dark room and I hear that manic laughter, there's a good chance I will flip shit and run as fast as I can towards the exit.
08)THEY'RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU: Carrie
It wasn't even so much that she was wreaking havok on the prom as it was the vocal overlaps from her mother, teachers, and classmates that did it in for me.
07)CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO DIE: Opera
Argento is a sick puppy, you know that? Everyone knows that I'm a major wimp when it comes to any form of eye trauma, so this entire scene gives me the heebie jeebies and makes my hair stand on end.
06)SPILL YOUR GUTS: City of the Living Dead
Fulci isn't far behind when it comes to being truly demented in the head. COTLD has plenty of death scenes to make me feel uneasy, but the most famous is still the one that gets me.
05)THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS: The Children
I'm a sucker for killer kids. I love children to the point of no return and when I see them turning on people...I can't handle it. I really can't. This one has a scene in particular involving a sled and a gardening tool. Jesus. H. Macy.
04)BUT...I THREW THAT...WAIT...: The Changeling
The real kicker in this one for me is obviously the ghost in the water, but this scene comes awfully close in making my heart skip a few beats.
03)EVERYTHING FLOATS DOWN HERE: Stephen King's "IT"
I hate clowns. HATE. Clowns. That's all that needs to be said.
02)IT'S A KIDS SHOW...WTF: Are you Afraid of the Dark
I don't care that it isn't a movie, and I don't care that it isn't all that scary. When I was a little kid, I was absolutely FLOORED by this television show, but that opening sequence gave me nightmares. I can't explain why, but it did. Even to this day the sound of the theme song triggers the slightest bit of fear within me. Make fun of me all you want, I know.
01)I'LL JUST BE DIRTY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE KTHNX: Psycho
Of course the granddaddy of all horrifying death scenes had to top this list. There's a genuinely horrifying thought about showering in places other than my home. I still check shower curtains and lock doors in hotels...just in case.

Rhea has a sweet little profile…
But today the action was by the scratching post as it gave something to dig at while going for the toy.
Davout had some other fun tonight…he came into Anna's room and hung out alone with her for a few minutes while I was downstairs giving Rhea her medicine. No drama resulted and Anna did not run and hide.

When it was her turn, she carried the entire toy off.

In a series of workshops, organized by Partos, Wilde Ganzen and CIVICUS, and facilitated by The Spindle, front running organizations have been looking at the complexity of power in partnership relations and the opportunities and blockages to shift the power. One of the ideas that came up in a July Workshop that included Southern-based organizations, was to develop an instrument to make power visible and address it adequately.
Since then The Spindle Shift-the-Power lab was formed where a prototype of such a practical instrument is being developed based on the research, tools and best practices earlier gathered by the group of frontrunners. The tool focuses on the relation between Northern NGOs, Southern-based NGOs/partners, and community-based organizations. A first prototype will soon be available for testing.
The instrument is developed against the backdrop of new partnerships being formed for the Power of Voices Program by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A unique opportunity to test it, learn and develop it further! Based on the first prototype we are confident that the tool can contribute to achieving inclusive and power balanced strategic partnerships in which decision making is a joint responsibility.
Are you interested to join The Spindle Shift the Power Lab and contribute to the development of this tool based on your experiences? Join The Spindle Shift-the-Power Lab!
Are you in the process of (re-) forming a partnership with civil society partners in the Global South and interested to test the tool, together with your partners? Or would you like more information first? Please contact Anne-Marie Heemskerk at amh@ partos.nl
Also: The Spindle organizes, at the Partos Innovation Festival a workshop titled Inclusive Civil Society Partnerships where we will look at underlying patterns and the deeper causes of power and exclusion in development partnerships with the help of an organization constellation.
You may also be interested to read the report of the latest Partos Learning Meet Up for the Strategic Partnerships on the new roles and partnerships in international advocacy (10/09/2019) that also touched on the shifting of power.

myopia is a disease. it can be a blessing and simultaneously a curse, if you will. i don't mean what my eyes can do (i'm a prime candidate for corrective eye surgery, actually). i'm talking about worldview perspective, or the lack thereof. i'm still here with mine. i'm not sure there are too many other ways to say it. i believe that love must fuel change. when i change myself, it is out of love — i cast away old things. i cast away negativity. i cast away damaging things to improve myself. to me, change outside of ourselves should be fueled by the same feelings of love. there is no other way. what could be greater than love?
i'm tired of this shit.

what could be greater than love?
word is bond.
my latest blog entry made me realize that if i don't change, as you said, i'm not dealing with love in all the ways i've claimed to have in my past lives.
so i THANK YOU for this…i needed this, sister. and today? i smile because of you and your friendship!

The LSQC SHS community held its own Christmas party as one last December 21, 2018 at the HS Grounds.
Spearheaded by the SHS LLEAP Executive Council of the Executive Board of Officers, the SHS community gathered together to celebrate the Christmas party this year together as one family. The party was also attended by the high school administrators and SHS faculty.
The program was marked with a raffle, games involving the faculty and the highlighted first-ever Pasiklaban 2019 which was a showdown of production numbers among the different committees of both SHS LLEAP organizations Integrated Math, Science and Technology Guild and General Academics Society.
Despite the limited time and rigorous academic load, students were able to take time out to conceptualize and prepare for the competition coming up with commendable performances in the end.
The first ever winners of the first edition were as follows:
Champion: Marketing, Publications and Documentation Committee of IMS Guild
First-runner up: Marketing, Publications and Documentation Committee of Gen Ad Soc
Second-runner up: Membership and Secretariat Committee of IMS Guild
Accdg. to Asst. Principal for SHS Marvin De Pano, the holding of the SHS One Family Christmas Party marks the beginning of an annual tradition for the SHS that hopefully will be looked forward to by the SHS students with the annual Pasiklaban and other activities.
Pasiklaban winners received cash and goods for prizes.
The party ended with the short congratulatory message and Christmas greeting of LSQC School Principal Maria Corazon Yap.

It seems like I write one of these daily, but No On 1/Protect Maine Equality has again had to refute false claims made in an ad released by Yes On 1. I assume this ad that was posted on Stand For Marriage Maine today is the one they reference in this release. Don't be fooled by fear. Read No On 1's reply below. Be an active involved parent and you never have to be afraid of what is going on in your child's education.
The NO on 1 campaign today charged that the new political ad opposing Maine's equality law not only restates a claim that educators, lawyers and Maine newspapers have rejected as false and misleading, but uses an activist to portray the role of a public school teacher. The NO on 1 campaign also noted that the political ad is an exact replica of the $2 million ad campaign launched to pass Proposition 8 in California last fall.
The teacher in the latest Maine ad is, in fact, the state director of Concerned Women for America. In addition, Charla Bansley the featured and identified "Ellsworth teacher" does not teach in the public schools, but in a private, Christian school, the Calvery Chapel Christian School.
Bansley has a long history of activism from opposing stem cell research to characterizing marriage equality supporters as "forces of evil." She has also opposed diversity training, tolerance classes and anti-harassment programs in the Maine schools, and has been a featured spokesperson in anti-marriage events, including the recent closed rally with national spokespeople this month in the Augusta Civic Center.
"Concerned Women for America has long opposed any measure of fairness or decency when it comes to gay and lesbian Americans," said Jesse Connolly, NO on 1's campaign manager. "They oppose anti-bullying measures in schools and diversity training when, in fact, public schools are simply ensuring an environment where all kids can be safe and can thrive.
"These are extreme views in any context and we believe that Maine voters will see through this cast of characters and focus on the real issue of treating all Maine families with dignity and respect," Connolly added.
The NO on 1 campaign noted that the Bangor Daily News and the Lewiston Sun Journal have each editorialized against the false claims that Maine's marriage equality law would impact anything in the public schools.
The Journal wrote on Sept. 18: "Will same sex marriage be taught in schools, if it becomes legal in Maine? No – nothing in law or curriculum mandates any Maine student be taught about marriage, same-sex or otherwise."
Also on Sept. 18, the Bangor Daily News editorialized that ". . .the claim by repeal proponents is that schools would be forced to teach 'gay sex education.' It is baseless and betrays an ignorance about education."
The NO on 1 campaign also refers the press and public to a memorandum explicitly refuting the claims about education issued Sept. 18th and signed by Maine Senate President Hannah Pingree, former Maine Attorneys General Steve Rowe and James Tierney, House Chair of Appropriations and Financial Affairs Committee Rep. Emily Cain, University of Maine School of Law Dean Peter Pitegoff* and University of Maine School of Law Prof. David P. Cluchey*.
"The fact that the Yes campaign would literally repackage the same ad their California consultants used in California is a testament to the national outsiders pushing their agenda on the voters of Maine," added Connolly. "This is nothing more than a tired national playbook concocted by California political consultants and the national groups that pay their way."

Altered Portraits, artwork by Monica Estabrook in the Armstron...
The McLean County Arts Center presents the exhibition Altered Portraits, artwork by Monica Estabrook in the Armstrong Gallery March 4 – April 16, 2016. Monica Estabrook, artist and art educator, shifted from teaching elementary students to high school students a few years ago. Her photographic series Altered Portraits became a method for her to create open more communication with her students and break down some barriers. Photographed on a white background, each teenager stands in black and white alone on a blank canvas. Estabrook then presents the student with the printed portrait allowing them a week to alter it in any way they desire and with any media.The results create a powerful dialog between representation and teenage identity. Estabrook states, "When photographing subjects, photographers typically have the final say on the portrayal of the subject; thus, the subject relinquishes control. My intent was to have them regain control by being more than just a subject." Through paint, pen, collage, text, cutting and sewing, each student alters what the camera and Estabrook have seen to how they wish to be perceived. Allowing their intellect, emotion, and psyche to become visible, the subject allows us to see beyond the clothes and skin of a teenager. Monica Estabrook teaches art at Bloomington High School. She earned a bachelors degree in art history and a Master of Arts in Teaching, K-12 art education, from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, as well as a MFA in photography from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.This exhibition was generously sponsored by INSIGHT CPAs and FINANCIALPosted by McLean County Arts Center on Friday, March 11, 2016

Punter Nick Murphy Named One of 10 Finalists for the Ray Guy Award
Nov. 13, 2000
AUGUSTA, Ga. TEMPE, Ariz. - Junior punter Nick Murphy has been named one of 10 finalists for the inaugural Ray Guy Award which recognizes the nation's top punter.
Forty players were on the preseason watch list for the award, and the 10 finalists were chosen based on their overall statistics and contribution to the team with emphasis placed on net average, number inside the 20-yard line, percentage of total punts inside the 20, average return yardage and percent not returned.
Murphy is fourth in the Pac-10 Conference with an average of 40.6 yards per punt this season (72 punts for 2,920 yards). He has had 24 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, including 13 inside the 10. Earlier this season, he set Arizona State's school records for punts and punting average in a single game with 12 for 514 yards (42.8 yards per punt) vs. Washington and was named Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week following ASU's season-opening win over San Diego State with five of his punts in that game downed inside the 5-yard line.
Presented by the Greater Augusta (Georgia) Sports Council, the Ray Guy Award will be presented to Dec. 7, 2000 as part of the Home Depot College Football Award Show live on ESPN from Orlando, Fla. The winner will display leadership, self-discipline, and have a significant positive impact on the team's success.
The selection committee will announce the three finalists Nov. 30. The Sports Awards Gala evening will follow on Dec. 12 in Augusta. The award is named after Ray Guy who attended the University of Southern Mississippi and was drafted in the first round by the Oakland Raiders. Ray Guy was an integral part of the Raider's successful years between 1973-1986.

In this part of the Harper's Magazine article, "Undoing Bush," Dean Baker tells us that one of George's "economic calamities" isn't entirely his fault. He inherited an overvalued dollar, which has made American goods uncompetitive abroad, and hasn't done nearly enough to solve the problem which has led to the growth in the trade deficit and to losses of manufacturing jobs. Baker points to the housing bubble as another "economic calamity," owing in part to historically low interest rates.
How can Bush's successor solve these problems? Unfortunately, a slow fix will only make the problem worse as new home buyers add their expectations to the bubble. The same is true for fixing the value of the dollar which, if it were to decline slowly, would keep interest rates (which have moved higher, exacerbating the housing problem) too high. In the case of housing, Baker suggests both talking the bubble down (warning new buyers that at unrealistic prices their investments are risky) and regulating risky mortgage products. (It isn't clear that these steps will be necessary, given what is already happening in the housing market.) In the case of the dollar, a public commitment to seeking a lower value by a specific date will prompt the market to follow suit.
Baker also believes that the Federal Reserve Board should be forced to concern themselves with more than just inflation, that they should take steps to avoid the formation of future bubbles. Lastly, the Bush tax cuts need to be rolled back. That, combined with an end to the war expenses, will go a long way toward eliminating deficits and relieving that pressure on the economy.
Something Baker doesn't talk about is the growing gap between rich and poor, and the risks that the inequitible health care system puts on the poor. With downward pressure on wages, this is another vulnerable aspect of the economy the next President will have to address.

So I'm now back on the mainland having finished my 2-week stint helping with Project Puffin's post-season and closed down the island for the winter. While I was sad to watch that magnificent, magical island disappearing into the mist, I admit I'm now gleefully reveling in the forested landscape that was lacking on that treeless island. But to live fully immersed in nature, I felt truly at home. That a 66-acre slab of rock set out in the Atlantic can hold such a rich diversity of life and that I had it just about completely to myself is an experience that I will treasure forever into my future. This being my fourth time waving goodbye to Seal as the boat motors us back to the mainland, as I've said to myself every time before, I said it again, I'll see you again.
What was especially thrilling and a new experience for me was to be invited by explore.org to do a live chat from Seal about the puffin season, my work with the project, and to answer questions from the passionate and enthusiastic viewers who watch the Seal Island puffin cams which transmit live-feed during the nesting season various views on the island where the birds like to congregate, or "loaf" as well as a front row seat in the burrow of one of the hundreds of puffins that nest between the boulders around the island's northern shoreline.
While answering questions, I touch on the island research and it's importance in having amassed some four decades of science: monitoring of the birds, collecting data on productivity, banding terns, puffins and guillemots and carrying out feeding studies to see what forage fish the birds are bringing in to feed their young throughout the nesting season. This ultimately gives us an idea of how the birds are surviving in the face of human influence and how they might be affected by climate change.
So I invite you to sit back and watch a very enthusiastic talk by your very own @stacebird as I talk about an island I adore and a project that gives me great hope for the future and pride and joy to have gotten all the opportunities to be a part of.
