Poll: is the BBC biased against Scotland?
An activist group has divided opinion by crowdfunding to place billboards accusing the BBC of anti-Scottish bias. What do you think?
Is the BBC biased against Scotland?

An activists' crowdfunding campaign has raised more than £8000 to place a series of billboards across the country "exposing" what it says is BBC bias against Scotland.
Inform Scotland, a nationalist group, says the corporation misreports what happens in the country as a means of blocking the independence movement.
The anti-BBC campaign springs from events during the 2014 indyref, which saw demonstrations outside the BBC HQ in Glasgow, which demanded the sacking of journalists.
The BBC itself has stringently denied it is biased, and many in the independence movement have distanced themselves from the Inform Scotland stunt, saying it harms the cause.
However, among some nationalist circles the idea has gained favour, especially on social media where an active community vigorously attacks what it calls the MSM - the mainstream media.
That's why we're asking: what do you think? Is the BBC biased against Scotland?
Vote now and get the debate going by leaving a comment!

The reason the BBC is unable to remedy the problem is that it refuses to acknowledge that anything is amiss.

Why is the BBC not exposing Westminster's lies about Rangers taxes?
1st November 2016 by Malcolm J Hall
What they do is very subtle so most don't recognise the numerous things that is fed to us.

If they claim they arent biased...then are they going to dismiss the quantitative data collected by professor Robertson? Q.Why are there more academics trying to influence the public on the BBC who are pro Union than there are academics who are able to voice the benefits of an Independent Scotland?
1st November 2016 by Kate Shillibeer
I absolutely know that the BBC are biased and misrepresent our country and it's people. They are a disgrace.

The recently made documentary 'London Calling' will leave you in no doubt about the monumental bias of the BBC against Scotland on every level. It's high time Scotland had its own public broadcaster like other countries. Everything we see and hear on the BBC is controlled by London and manipulated by Westminster.

The BBC sports programme recently of Scotland v England at Rugby, was a perfect example of bias. The commentary and panel, consisted of an English presenter, 2 ex English players, 1 ex Irish and 1 ex Scottish player. This was at Murrayfield too! During the game, the commentator mentioned the word 'we' numerous times, referring to England. There was a reference to English footballers being world class, and then it was all about England having an off day. Should be renamed the English Broadcasting Corporation

Over the last 4 years I have never watched BBC news in Scotland because it does not report what is actually happening in Scotland and has nothing positive to say about Scotland.

7.5: Coarse Grain Simulations of Membranes
- Page ID
- 17564
An abbreviated history of coarse graining methods
During the late 1960s at the dawn of Levinthal's paradox, understanding the mechanism of protein folding became a critical area of study. This was likely the primary driving force for the coarse grained method in order to capture the phenomenon of the entire protein folding process. It was Levitt and Warshel who were the first people to successfully accomplish this during their work in the early 1970s. Their coarse graining method, published in 1975, modeled the small, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor protein using pseudoatoms at the alpha carbon positions; the model reduced the degrees of freedom to one which described rotation along the central pseudobond for the three consecutive alpha carbon atoms; the force field used was described by the Lennard Jones potential; and Brownian Dynamics was used as the sampling scheme. The pioneering work substantiated but fell short of describing the packing and pair-wise interactions of side chains that are integral driving forces for obtaining specific folded structures. Just a year later, Levitt proposed an improved model accounting for side chain orientation and since then the method of coarse graining has only continued to progress in accuracy and expand to other biomolecules like nucleic acids, carbohydrates, water and lipids. The development of this inaugural coarse grained model has led to the many advancements in the method that exist in the current state of the art as it has become a crucial computational modeling tool for simulating meso-scale biological phenomena.2,6,10
Coarse grained simulation basics:
Capturing the time and length scale of biological processes using computational methods remains a challenge for molecular modeling as resolution is limited to the order of less than 100 ns and 10 nm in all-atom detail. Coarse graining reduces the degrees of freedom of the system to achieve greater size and time scales at the expense of molecular detail to simulate biological processes currently inaccessible to all atom models. In addition to increasing the spatiotemporal limitations of all-atom molecular dynamics simulations, coarse graining is advantageous because it enables high throughput studies that systematically explore thousands of state conditions in parallel; it reveals which details are essential to reproduce higher resolution results which provides insight on the biological driving forces at play; it smoothes the potential energy landscape of the system allowing for a computationally inexpensive testing of novel biophysical pathways.3
A complete coarse grained (CG) model accomplishes the following: (1) it must represent the atomistic model as simplified CG "beads" that encapsulate a desired approximation of a group of atoms and (2) it must have a set of potentials called a force field that describe how the beads interact with one another.
(1) Atom mapping
Mapping is the first step to coarse graining and largely determines the accuracy, efficiency and transferability of the model.11 Since coarse graining relies on utilizing only essential degrees of freedom it is important to assess which are necessary to obtain the desired resolution for a biologically relevant representation of the system or phenomenon. There are two common methods of atom mapping used to coarse grain a system: shape and "residue" based.
- Shape based: uses the highest level of simplification in order to model large scale motions therefore the least amount of beads as possible. Two CG beads represent each lipid bilayer leaflet, one for the head and one for the tail group, which are connected by a harmonic potential and the top and bottom leaflet interact via Lennard-Jones and Coulomb potentials. The shape-based CG lipid model allows for simulations of molecular dynamics on the order of hundreds of microseconds and beyond.19
- Residue based: uses the strategy of making a cluster of connected heavy atoms the unit particle in which approximately 10-20 covalently bound atoms are mapped into one CG bead. While resulting in an inevitable loss of detail, this permits a longer timestep and thereby produces higher computational efficiency than united atom models. It is typical to use this family of methods when a 1-2 order of magnitude speed up from an all-atom simulation is desired.21
In addition to the resolution (amount of CG beads) used to represent a group of atoms, it is important to consider the placement of the CG beads with respect to the atomic structure. It is typical for small molecules like lipids to be locationally mapped using chemical intuition in which a CG site is used for each functional group in a molecule.5
(2) Force field building
It is a continual challenge to develop accurate and transferrable CG force fields. The typical way to construct a CG simulation force field is using either the bottom up (structure based coarse graining) force matching of top down (thermodynamic based coarse graining) free energy based approach.
Bottom-up/Structure-based: uses effective interaction based on reference all-atom simulations. Common systematic methods include inverse Monte Carlo, iterative Boltzmann inversion and Force Matching aka variational fitting (IMC, IBI and FM).3 The IBI method utilizes a radial distribution function (RDF) from atomistic simulations to calculate a CG RDF function and iteratively improve the CG pair potential in reference to all atom pair potentials. The equation used to improve upon the CG pair potential for this iterative method is6:
\[u_{i+1}^{\mathrm{CG}}(r) \cong u_{i}^{\mathrm{CG}}(r)-k_{\mathrm{B}} T \ln \left(\frac{\rho_{l}^{\mathrm{CG}}(r)}{\rho^{\mathrm{Larget}}(r)}\right)\]
Here, ��, is the RDF and, u, is the effective pair potential derived from the potential of mean force calculation. Essentially the equation states the a guess is input for the initial RDF and this is iterated numerous times until the value converges on the target RDF. Iteration continue until convergence on a unique pair potential for a given radial distribution is achieved within an acceptable error. Similarly, the IMC method utilizes the RDF as the target property to approximate a coarse grained Hamiltonian for the system but unlike the IBI method it explicitly handles the CG force field parameters by solving a series of linear equations at each iterative step to reach successful convergence.6 Voth's multi-scale coarse grained (MS-CG) model described briefly is representative of the force matching method and utilizes a system of linear equations to find the least squares fit of sampled configurations from an atomistic simulation to optimize the CG force field.1,4 Inverse Monte Carlo differs from this because it is an exact Newton method and tries to fit the exact reference value versus the natural log whereas force matching extracts an optimal potential from large conformational data produced by ab initio calculations.
Top-down/Thermodynamics-based: uses analytical interaction potentials and is parameterized in an iterative procedure that aims to reproduce thermodynamic properties from experimental data, which typically results in a more easily transferable force field.3 The Martini force field is a commonly used example of the top-down method in which bonded interactions are specified by potential energy functions but is unique in its description of non bonded interactions.1 The intermolecular structure and thermodynamics of the target system depends on the non bonded interaction modeled using the Lennard-Jones potential and the parameters are chosen to reproduce specific experimental measurements, i.e. bulk density, free energy of hydration, vapor pressure, etc.12
Most CG force fields rely on a combinations of the two methods to optimize accuracy and transferability. Though not exhaustive the table below from Bradley et al. provides an excellent summary of force field construction types and their applicability.1
Key Methods
Key Target Data
Structure matching, energy matching, Boltzmann inversion, reverse Monte Carlo
Density distributions, interfacial tension, area per lipid, bending modulus, area compressibility modulus, lipid order parameters
Bottom up force matching, variational optimization, hybrid analytic-systematic CG, screened electrostatics
Atomistic site to site radial distribution functions, density distributions, bending and area compressibility moduli, lipid diffusion rates
Top down energy matching, potential of mean force between phases, bilayer stress profile, free energy of lipid desorption or flip-flop, short range electrostatics
Free energy of hydration and vaporization, partitioning free energies, surface and interfacial tension, density distributions, bending modulus, area per lipid
Force fields transform the biological systems flat conformational space into an extremely rugged surface. Sampling schemes allow for the surface to be traversed in search of desired system conformations. The two most commonly used schemes used in CG modeling are molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC). MD schemes generate new conformations utilizing classical mechanics described by Newton's equations of motion. Using this method, a trajectory is produced which describes the time evolution of the system and allows for the assessment of time dependent observables. MC schemes traverse the conformational space in a completely time independent manner that provides a random sample of conformations coming from the desired distribution, typically Boltzmann (this linked page goes more in depth on this sampling method: Monte carlo for Biomembranes). This method uses unphysical jumps in space to allow for escape from local energy minima and is an entirely statistics based algorithm.6
Coarse graining for membranes
While a single lipid molecule itself is relatively small, only about 100 atoms, the bulk properties of a lipid bilayer depends on the collective behavior of hundreds to thousands of individual lipids rendering atomistic models extremely computationally expensive. Real biological membranes are heterogeneous and contain multiscale properties with the typical membrane being on the macroscopic scale--microns and microseconds--which is currently inaccessible to atomic resolution molecular dynamics simulations.8
Given that water is an essential component of biological systems and typically comprising more than 80% of the system's total particles it is necessary to reproduce both its structure and phase transitions to create a relevant and accurate coarse-grained model.3,11 The dynamic effects of water on biological systems arise from its hydrogen bonding, polarity and geometry which can not be fully captured using the CG method therefore the model must be parameterized to reproduce the desired macroscopic property.18 CG methods employ several different mapping and parameterization techniques that produce the following three categories of models: (1) implicit, (2) explicit and (3) polarizable.1
- The two typical strategies to account for water implicitly are by adjusting the non-bonded interactions between non-water molecules or adding a force field term that accounts for the hydrophobic effect using DeBye-Huckel theory of Generalized-Born models, which is based on modeling the solute as a set of spheres whose internal dielectric constant differs from the external solvent.3
- The two parameterization types for the explicit representation of a water molecule as a van der waals particle use either structure or thermodynamic methods. Structure based methods typically use a 1:1 molecule:bead ratio and are constructed from atomistic water simulations using IBI or FM. Thermodynamics based water models are parameterized by fitting to macroscopic experimental results (like density, diffusion rate, surface tension, etc.3) and use various mapping ratios.3,18
- Explicit water models lack charges which prevents them from screening electrostatics which is remedied by polarizable models. This is accomplished by incorporating charged pseudo particles controlled by an angle potential that allows for mimicking of water's electrostatic screening due to its polarizability.17 The molecule: bead mapping varies from a 4:1 rigid V-shape, A 1:1 induced point dipole, or the 11:4 tetrahedrally coordinated water model, for instances.3
In coarse grained models the observables from atomistic models are often defined by analogy and result in what is known as the representability problem.20 Practically, this means that the questions asked dictate which CG model is appropriate to use. In order to choose the right model for each problem, it is necessary to understand the applicability and limitations of your model.3 While numerous coarse grained lipid models exist some successful, commonly used coarse grained lipid models include3: (1) Klein9 (2) Martini12 (3) ELBA7 (4) Voth8 (5) Smit's DPD13
- A pioneering model that constructs a CG forcefield from all atom simulation data studying a dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) membrane. While structurally accurate it has limited transferability that has since been improved upon by incorporating both top down and bottom up parameterization. The introductory model linked each of the 13 CG beads using harmonic bond and quartic angle potentials fitted to the atomistic simulation while non-bonded interactions were represented by radial distribution functions and refined with IBI. Recent applications of the model have extended the applicability to different molecular structures and environmental conditions.16
- This model was originally developed for lipids and is purposefully simplistic using minimal parameters and a few standard interaction potential in an effort to be versatile in its applications while maintaining accuracy. It uses a 4:1 atom:bead mapping with a fixed bead size with 18 different polarity/charge group types. Bonds and angles are described by harmonic potentials and VdW and electrostatics are described using shifted potentials. The model parameters are tuned to match structural and thermodynamic data from experimental and simulated systems. Applications are vast and range from raft domain formation to membrane tethers.
- An electrostatics based CG lipid force field that focuses on lipid water interactions designed for multiscale applicability. Each water molecule is represented by a Lennard-Jones soft soft sphere with a point dipole and the CG lipid beads incorporate electrostatics as explicit point charges or point dipoles with a relative dielectric constant of 1. The model was parameterized for bulk, liquid phase water and is particularly applicable for modeling lipid phase behavior and the movement of drugs and other molecules across lipids bilayers.
- Voth and colleagues have developed multiple CG lipid models that like the Klein model use a force field derived from all atom simulations termed a multiscale CG forcefield (MS-CG) that instead contains an analytical and systematic component that utilize force matching vs average structural properties. Their methods employ a range of atom mapping from an aggressive CG with a single bead to represent an entire lipid used to simulate very large systems8 to the typical 13-15 CG beads per lipid; model dependent treatments of electrostatic interactions and water representations, either explicit or implicit. Their models have been used to model several lipids like DMPC, DOPC, DOPE and cholesterol membranes and has been used to study a variety of biological phenomena including liposome (~200nm) self assembly and the phase behavior of binary mixed membranes.15
- This lipid model utilizes the soft repulsive forces used in dissipative particle dynamics that replace the Lennard-Jones potential to study the DMPC bilayer. The DPD repulsion parameter was determined using prior related DPD studies; their atom mapping consisted of a model comprising a lipid head group of 3 hydrophilic beads and the remaining 10 beads comprising 2 hydrophobic tails; and their model has been shown to describe multicomponent bilayer behavior with accuracy and speed.

Moral bankruptcyRobodebt stemmed from the false ideological division between the deserving and undeserving poor, but the government still clings to moralistic language
Film & Television
Superheroes on TV
In the current cultural landscape, the superhero is starting to resemble an invasive species. Nurtured in the expressive panels of vintage comic books, it spread to the American cinema at the turn of this century, swiftly becoming the dominant strain of the Hollywood blockbuster. Now the superhero, a creation of mythic deliverance and pop art tragedy, has reached television, potentially leaving viewers with cape fear.
Will the medium succumb? Based on The Defenders, a new series streaming on Netflix that consolidates four unnaturally powered individuals into a heroic quartet, hopefully not. The show is dedicated and satisfying, but predominantly in the most predictable sense. Pursuing differing strands of a secret society's conspiracy, there are ructions when the various lone wolves become aware of each other, there are setbacks that force them to question their individual self-belief, and their last stand is a battle against the odds. The superhero's boilerplate moral stance – with great power comes great responsibility – is even wheeled out.
The series is a culmination of a strategy hatched in 2015 by Netflix and Marvel, the leading repository of superhero intellectual property, which began with the introduction of Daredevil, a superhero drama about Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer by day who becomes a masked vigilante at night thanks to his enhanced four remaining senses. That was followed by costume-free seasons of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter), fellow New Yorkers who respectively possess superhuman strength and unbreakable skin, before the release earlier this year of Iron Fist, an origin tale for Danny Rand (Finn Jones), a billionaire orphan bestowed with mystical martial arts skills.
If the tactic of deploying one superhero after another into a shared screen realm, complete with interlocking supporting players, sounds familiar it's because Marvel did exactly the same with the first wave of their movies; starting in 2008, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger were the foundation stones for 2012's climactic team-up The Avengers. Duplicating that structure isn't just imitative, it exposes The Defenders to comparisons – budget, reach, technical expertise – the show can't benefit from.
What superheroes on television do have a surplus of, compared with the cinema, is time. In storytelling terms, the typical superhero film is the equivalent of a modern supply chain: last minute and expedient, as new characters, spin-offs and sequels are dropped into the unending narrative. The eight episodes of The Defenders run to approximately seven hours – which is more than long enough for the great Sigourney Weaver to persuade you that her arch-villain, Alexandra, is the epitome of timeless malevolence – yet too often the plotting feels truncated and traditional.
Combining the four characters is more likely to reduce their distinct elements than it is to illuminate them in new ways. Consider Jessica Jones: her standalone season established the character, for all her physical strength, as a survivor of rape and psychological abuse. Her tormentor, Kilgrave (former Doctor Who David Tennant), could control anyone he spoke to, and in the grotesque name of love he had previously made Jessica both his weapon and his slave before she escaped. Jessica Jones creator Melissa Rosenberg and Ritter, who invested the character with a roiling self-loathing, made a drama about a self-denying superhero with post-traumatic stress disorder who refused to heal herself.
In The Defenders, which was created and run by Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez, who previously oversaw the second season of Daredevil, the leather-jacket-clad Jessica is often hungover and nearly always sardonic. "These names are killing me," she sighs after learning about a succession of ancient orders – the Hand, commanded by Alexandra, and their opponents the Chaste – whose feud is now her problem. But the rawness of her own series, where Jessica embodied a woman who can never feel safe, has here hardened into faint scar tissue and mordant flourishes.
Marvel's headline movie superheroes are currently all white men (diversity is further down the release schedule), but the television series allowed for genuine representation. The African-American Luke Cage, whose beautiful, invulnerable black skin is a riposte to America's racial enmity, has a telling line when he confronts Danny Rand, whose wealthy vigilante pose includes a private jet and the easy presumption of power. "I know privilege when I see it," Luke says, and for a moment secret societies give way to a society addressing its age-old secrets.
That's the best blow The Defenders lands. Elsewhere there's a preponderance of hand-to-hand combat, choreographed with wire work, ninja accessories and platoons of faceless goons. The fighting is physically athletic but visually contained. There's a thrilling moment in the third episode where the camera trails one combatant down a hallway and the frame erupts without warning when Luke Cage calmly smashes through a boundary wall, but the direction is mostly workmanlike. Just by blocking the leads with some imagination and briefly utilising starkly expressive lighting, German director Uta Briesewitz makes the fifth instalment stand out.
There's a kick in the otherworldly intensity of the Black Sky (Elodie Yung), the assassin controlled by Alexandra, and if nothing else I appreciated that the Hand's scheme relies on the petulant missteps of Danny Rand, a character who previously made Iron Fist a dreary washout. The Defenders averages out this superhero squad, so that Jessica Jones and Luke Cage lose their distinct edges, but Matt Murdock and Danny Rand are improved. That reversion to the mean encapsulates the lack of ambition on offer. The show is a summation of the pre-existing strands, which is why you're better off watching Jessica Jones and Luke Cage in their individual complexity.
Superheroes will continue to circulate through television as new streaming services increase the demand for content, but they're unlikely to conquer it. In the cinema, superheroes are given digital spectacle to enliven the genre's archetypes, but without those hard-drive heroics those same outlines lack compelling drama. Superheroes pooling their powers is a comic-book staple, but in a television year headlined by Twin Peaks, The Handmaid's Tale and Atlanta, migrating that approach demands a more radical, revelatory technique.

Testimonial from Philip Houbler
The purpose of this communication is to comment on your superb staff. I have recently had the experience of purchasing two units in your Heritage Isle development. My first exposure to Tiffany Homes came in the form of Ms. Lynda Plummer, your resident sales associate. As a retired luxury automobile dealer with over 35 years of dealing with the public, I can only say what a delight she is and, over the past year what a professional, excellent and knowledgeable representative of Tiffany Homes she has repeatedly demonstrated to be.
As I labored through the construction phases of my two units on Carambola Circle, I had the good fortune to have the patient assistance of Ms. Ann Marie Reilly to guide me through the confusing labyrinth of upgrade options, colors, designs and other decorative decisions. As you well know these items are the key ingredients which turn "just a house" into a warm and comfortable home. Likewise, I feel compelled to comment on your general construction foreman, Mr. Craig Allebaugh. Craig is a master juggler who, by force of his management skills alone, seems always to be able to prevent crystal balls from crashing to the earth while simultaneously orchestrating a complex symphony of materials availability and subcontractor scheduling. To his credit, through it all, he still somehow manages to maintain his availability and a pleasant composure to your clients. He is a master of diplomacy, tact and expertise especially in explaining the nuisances, adjustments and foibles which inevitably occur during construction. He clearly is an invaluable asset to your team.
My bottom line to you is simple. I am firmly convinced that the outstanding reputation of Tiffany Homes is a reflection of your caring, professional personnel who meet and shepherd your clients in such outstanding fashion. In these days where Customer Service Indices (CSI's) determine so much of our success and determine the roadmap for growth, I suggest that Tiffany Homes would be hard-pressed to acquire additional representation the likes of these three employees. I am confident that if those of your organization whom I have not met mirror the standards of those with whom I have enjoyed this year-long association, Tiffany Construction and Development Corporation can have nothing but explosive success in its future.

text: Can human rights courts use the concept of human dignity to address environmental threats to human rights? Düwell has recently argued that if we take human dignity to be the normative core of human rights, then the human rights regime ought to change in response to changing threats to dignity. 1 Düwell reasons that in an era of climate change and scarce resources, 'taking dignity seriously' necessitates the development of human rights to respond to these new threats. 2 Looking at the practice of human rights courts, this article asks what taking human dignity seriously entails and whether a human dignity approach to environmental cases results in better environmental outcomes in the field of human rights law.

The First Second
What makes an organization viable for human life? Does there exist a small number of organizational variables that have to be within acceptable range for an organization to support life? If they exist when do the values of those variables get set? And once set can they be changed?
"Everything should be made as simple as possible but no simpler."
Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
The universe does not have to be the way it is. There are a small number of variables that should their values have come out differently, we would not be here and life as we know it would not be possible. Life exists in the universe because there are values in place for certain fundamental constants that allow for matter to achieve high levels of organization. This led to the creation of stars and galaxies and other structures that permeate the universe. Other variables allow for stars to burn at a rate that allows them to be around long enough for life to develop and for carbon, what life as we know it is based upon, to be found in abundance. Life and our universe are interconnected but it did not need to be that way, the values of the constants did not need to be exactly as they are. Why are they so? The simple answer is that it is the way it is because we are here to measure it. There could have been an infinite number of universes before ours and there could be an infinite number of universes after ours is done or according to M-theory, there could be an infinite number of parallel universes to ours currently in existence. The reason why we are in possibly the one universe that supports life is because we are here in the first place to ask the question, and we would not be able to ask the question in any other universe that did not support life – this notion is called Anthropic principles.
"Nature does nothing in vain, and more is in vain when less will serve."
Sir Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727)
The constants, the values that those critical variables adopted were determined within the first fraction of a fraction of a second that this universe existed. At the very beginning of our time, our universe, a course was set. This course determined whether the possibility existed that we would be here now. If the numbers had not come out the way they did, I would not be sitting here writing this and you would not be reading it. In fact, there would in all likelihood be no life anywhere in this universe. The moment of origination was critical.
"Behind it all is surely an idea so simple, so beautiful, that when we grasp it – in a decade, a century, or a millennium – we will all say to each other, how could it have been otherwise? How could we have been so stupid for so long?"
John Archibald Wheeler (1911-2008)
What about organizational life? Can we draw a parallel to life in the universe or are humans and our societies more complex than the universe? Does there exist a relatively small number of variables or factors that creates conditions within an organization, allowing employees to flourish, possibly according to Maslow to self-actualize? And when do these variables become part of the fabric of the organizational universe?
Each organization has a unique history, a unique story about its origins. Within a fairly short time span of its origins the initial culture of the organization may be set, not necessarily in stone, but in fairly strong stuff never-the-less. I am constantly amazed at how in high turnover organizations the cultures can be as robust as they are, resistant to movement in one direction or the other, even though they constantly fill with new people.
If you asked me to define the initial variables that determine whether an organization can support life I would choose the following:
- A clear and compelling Message regarding what the organization is about, what it stands for, what it hopes to accomplish and knowledge of how each individual can support that Message in a meaningful fashion
- Performance enablement – the organization providing what you need to accomplish your tasks in a way of which you can be proud and alignment of the Performance expectations to the Message, as well as:
- Working for a management team that is effective and puts sensible business processes in place and positions itself well within its markets
- A sense of Future – compelling reasons to stick around including:
- Fair and respectful treatment – you get out what you consider to be fair for what you put in, covering pay, benefits, recognition, rewards and advancement as well as being treated in a respectful and dignified fashion
- The ability to stay current in your skills or to develop new skills
I think the leadership of an organization needs to make up its mind regarding how they will operate against these variables during the initial formulation of the organization. While I do believe these variables can change, they are much more difficult to change later on in the organizational life-cycle than if they are set up appropriately at the beginning. The moment of origination is critical.
"What can be done with fewer assumptions is done in vain with more."
William of Ockham (1285-1349)

Facebook revives 'View As Public' profile feature
Facebook revives 'View As Public' profile feature. Facebook has announced two new changes on its platform. The first change is bringing back of Facebook View as a Public feature. From this feature, users can preview their profile in a way that looks like the general public.
In addition, the company has also added the Edit Public Details option to the profile.
Today, we're making it easier for people to manage their publicly visible information on Facebook with two updates: (1) we're bringing back the "View As Public" feature and (2) we're adding an "Edit Public Details" button directly to profiles. pic.twitter.com/zI5bVwodjp
— Facebook (@facebook) May 14, 2019
As per Facebook :From this feature, users will be able to quickly change their profile details.
View As Public Features have ended in 2018.
As indicated by Facebook's "We have finished our security survey and are re-empowering the form of the 'View As' component. That gives individuals a chance to perceive what their profile resembles to individuals they aren't companions with on Facebook.
Facebook revives : The capacity to rapidly check and alter what data is openly accessible could likewise help in case of different glitches – like the time a bug set 14 million clients' profiles to open. The progressions additionally line up with Facebook's ongoing accentuation on its "what's to come is private" mantra.
As a result , facebook is reestablishing the alternative for clients to see their profile from the point of view of somebody they aren't companions with, just as making it simpler for clients to oversee what data does or doesn't get showed on the open confronting adaptation of their profiles.
So , the news was declared in a tweet today after Facebook had crippled the alternative back in September 2018 . Because of a noteworthy security defect that enabled an aggressor to take get to tokens for more than 50 million records by abusing a related component that would enable you to perceive what a Facebook profile would resemble to a particular client.

This bust in Ashbourne Park is to one of the towns most famous daughters, Catherine Mumford, otherwise Catherine Booth.
She was born in Ashbourne in 1829 on the Sturston Rd where a plaque on the house marks the event. Her father, John Mumford, was a carriage maker and an occasional lay preacher. Later the family moved to Lincoln.
In 1851, she met William Booth. They were married on 16 July 1855 at Stockwell Green Congregational Church in London. In 1865 they began the East London Christian Mission which in 1878 was re-named The Salvation Army. She became known as the 'Mother of The Salvation Army'.
Catherine Booth died at home, Crossley House in Clacton on Sea in 1890. William Booth died in 1912. They are interred together in Abney Park Cemetery, London.
The bust was unveiled in Ashbourne on Easter Sunday 1962 by two of her granddaughters. It had been created by the Morris Art Bronze Foundry of London who had made full length figures of them in 1929.
A walk around the heritage sites of Ashbourne can be found in the Ashbourne Treasures Town Heritage Trail, available from the Ashbourne Visitor Information Centre in Town Hall Yard on the Market Place.

Banks and exchange offices are easy to find, especially on the main streets of Ben Yehuda, Allenby and Dizengoff. Most cash machines accept foreign cards and automatically switch to English on the instructions screen. At some machines (called "caspomats" in Israel) you can even withdraw foreign currencies. You will always be asked if you accept a small processing fee for withdrawing cash using a foreign card. Israeli banks have varied but limited hours and charge a higher commission than money changers. The best solution is probably to use cash machines. Travellers cheques are to be avoided since they are next to impossible to use and banks charge high transaction fees. Never change money on the street, you're sure to be ripped off.

Last Man Standing is coming back to television thanks to a social media campaign by loyal fans, and the stars of the series showed their gratitude in a new video.
In a new video released to promote the FOX show, Allen directly thanks the fans who pushed to bring it back to TV.
Allen, who plays Mike Baxter in the show, said that "the fanbase, without any jokes, was startling," in the video.
Nancy Travis, who plays the Baxter family matriarch Vanessa, said the fans were "very vocal and very active" in ensuring the show's return.
Chad Miller worked to organize the show's supporters in signing petitions, leading the largest Facebook group that lobbied for the return of Last Man Standing.
"When the show was originally canceled, I was angry," said Miller. "I felt like I needed to get my voice out there."
Miller was able to meet several of the show's stars, including Allen, who thanked the super-fan for "all [he] did" to bring the show back.
"We feel like this is the fans' victory really, that we get to come back, and so, we thank you," Travis also said in the video.
ABC canceled Last Man Standing in 2017, and after the aforementioned social media campaign by fans of the show, it was revived by Fox earlier this year. The first episode of the new season will air on September 28th.
"They heard all your voices people!! LMS just might be a reality. Keep it up. Who wants more LastManStanding ?" Allen tweeted, thanking the fans, in May.
They heard all your voices people!! LMS just might be a reality. Keep it up. Who wants more #LastManStanding ?
— Tim Allen (@ofctimallen) May 3, 2018
The 65-year-old actor has spoken out about intolerance towards conservatives in Hollywood before.
In 2017, Allen told Jimmy Kimmel, "You've gotta be real careful around here. You get beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes."
He also compared Hollywood intolerance to something out of Germany in the 1930s.
"This is like '30s Germany. I don't know what happened. If you're not part of the group, 'you know what we believe is right,' I go, 'Well, I might have a problem with that,'" he said.
He also sounded off on the firing off Roseanne Barr, saying, "Whatever got in her head isn't the Roseanne I know. It's a very icy time."
"I've been a comedian for 38 years and I've never seen it, like Lenny Bruce said at the Purple Onion, 'we've gone backwards.' There are things you can't say. There are things you shouldn't say. Who makes up these rules? And as a stand-up comic, it's a dangerous position to be in because I like pushing buttons. It's unfortunate," he told Entertainment Weekly.

Showmances start to blossom tonight! Julie Chen said so, so you know it's the truth. I'm pretty sure one of the showmances has to involve David, as he isn't about to let his extremely poofy hair go to waste.
Sidebar: McCrae looks better dripping wet after being splattered with paint than he does dry and fluffy, honestly. That hair really isn't working for him, Secret Tech Giant or whatever the hell he is. I really can't imagine he's simply a pizza guy.
We pick up where we left off, with the hamsters consoling themselves over all the mean stuff Julie Chen revealed to them. Those darn "Big Brother" twists! Amanda is freaked out about the MVP's secret powers. Aaryn, however, is a glass half full person and thinks it's an awesome idea, as she's expecting to win MVP. I guess Amanda isn't feeling that confident. McCrae is sad, because thinks he might be getting a lot of blood on his hands as HOH and won't even get what he wants. Gosh, being HOH has no upside to it except a nice bedroom, good snacks and lots of people kissing your ass! Andy thinks this MVP twist makes it, like, so much harder!
Seriously, though, I am hopeful that the MVP twist will add a level of complication and intrigue to a show that has become a little too predictable. I mean, I don't consider Zingbot sufficiently twisty, do you?
Jeremy thinks America is going to vote for girls, because everyone votes for girls. Everyone likes girls! Really, Jeremy? Jeremy decides this just means he has to charm all of the pretty women in the house, darn it. Well, at least we know Jeremy has a plan beyond secret alliances with everyone on the show, which seems flawed to say the least.
The gals gather in the bathroom and do what girls do in the bathroom — talk about boys. Well, sometimes. Anyway, Kaitln thinks it would break her heart to have to put anyone on the block as HOH. Then, Jessie admits she's into Nick. Like, OMG, the gals are going to have to have code names for the boys so no one knows they're talking about them! This seems to be mostly Jessie's idea, because Jessie is seemingly 14. Nick is Manhattan, then Big. Yes, Big. Jeremy is the Sailor, and David is Ken, as in Ken doll.
Time to see McCrae's HOH room! I will say, it is nice this season. GinaMarie thinks it's like a New Jersey club! McCrae is blown away, because he gets to play with the remote! I'm not making that up, mind you — he actually say this. And he says (again, not making this up, either) he has fishes to look at! Maybe he really is a pizza guy.
Everyone for some reason starts making fun of Rachel, which is semi-revelent and easy, because she's not there. McCrae is encouraged to repeat Rachel's best line, "Floaters get a life vest!" which everyone has on their minds simply because Julie Chen slipped it into their brain pans. Elissa plucks her eyelashes. She's really scared, because she knows she looks and talks just like Rachel. Yeah, this "secret" isn't staying under wraps for another minute, I think.
Jeremy and Nick plot in the backyard. Nick thinks Howard is trustworthy. And Spence is also honest and not out for the kill. What about an alliance, Nick asks. Jeremy nods. What a good idea! And how convenient that Nick wants to create a slightly larger alliance around the alliance Jeremy already has! Whee!
Finally, Nick suggests McCrae? Jeremy loves this! Final five! But wait! Jeremy points out they might need a girl. Nick disagrees, saying, girls are all floaters.
Let's pause for a moment here. Girls. Are. All. Floaters.
I'm not sure who I'm voting for going forward, but I think Nick just dropped pretty low on my list. I think Aaryn is actually a strong physical competitor, and if we also look at the history of the show, I think Rachel (yes, let's go back to Rachel, the ghost of this season) managed to stay afloat to the finish long after her boyfriend was sent packing. Some girls may be floaters, true, but all?
Anyway, Nick gets to work putting this "alliance" into place. He recruits Spence. He's down with it! Gee, Howard's down with it, too! Doesn't Nick think this is awfully easy? It's finally time to get McCrae on board, at least when he's done shimmying in an odd way for the cameras.
Nick suggests an alliance, and McCrae wants to guess who's already on board. He guesses Howard, Jeremy, Nick, himself, and… darn it, stumped! Spencer, Nick says. He's good people! He has a beard! And a penis! Boys rule! Let's call ourselves the Moving Company! Because "The Electric Company" is a show for kids!
Despite the lack of estrogen, McCrae thinks this is a good offer, one he shouldn't refuse. And… he probably saw the guys plotting before Nick came up, so he's just happy to be included in something he knows is already happening. Howard, Jeremy and Spence then drop in to seal the deal. Jeremy is flabbergasted the talent in the room! Nick says final five, man!
Now that they have an alliance, who shall they pick off first? Nick says they have to watch out for David. And his hair. McCrae thinks he should put up two girls. Or maybe David and a girl, the guys suggest. McCrae is in a powerhouse alliance of five. He's so happy!
And… it's time for showmance! David is totally feeling Aaryn. They cuddle in a hammock together. She tells him he might need to save her. It's a win-win for her, because he's strong and very handsome. She promises never to put him up, and he promises back. David is in it for the showmance, and, as he admits, she's way smarter than he is. Okay, backtrack for a second: David said he isn't really on the show for the money, but a showmance? Seriously? He can't find girls to date without going on a TV show?
You know who isn't in a showmance, but who really wants to be? Jessie! Jessie likes Nick and Jeremy! Who should she cuddle with? They're totally flirty with her! Really? I don't get that at ALL. Amanda feels that being trapped in a house with Jessie is like being trapped with a teen girl who's at a Justin Bieber concert. Jessie thinks she has more of a shot with these guys than she actually does. All Amanda wants to do is slap her in the face. Yeah, I will not cry when Jessie goes home, which could be sooner rather than later if Amanda has anything to do with it.
Ah, the truth about Elissa has hit the fan! Everyone but everyone is suspicious, and finally Judd tells McCrae flat out Elissa is Rachel's sister. David is the only hamster who isn't wowed by this bombshell, as he doesn't know who Rachel is. David is serious about just going on "Big Brother" for a showmance, clearly.
Time for the Have/Have Not competition. The hamsters split into three teams of five — the red, the blue and the yellow. They will be playing Cooler and the Gang. Get it? That would be totally funny if it was 1980!
Anyway, the hamsters must get across a lake in an inner tube, dive into another little lake and retrieve one can of soda, get back across the lake, then put the soda on a plank of wood being balanced by ropes held by four teammates. If the pyramid of cans falls, the team must start over.
Howard pretty much ruins the red team's chances when he seems incapable of getting across the lake, then Judd sucks just as much. While they have a shot at making second place after David knocks over the cans for the yellow team (a screw-up that's largely forgiven because he can make it across the lake so quickly in that inner tube), they have no chance. Blue Team wins, Yellow Team is safe, and Red Team will be the Have Nots for the week. David is just excited that Aaryn jumps into his arms after they come in second.
So, what's the Have Not room like? As nice as the HOH room, the Have Not room sucks a lot. I mean, a lot. Instead of cots, they get airplane seats. Coach airplane seats which do no recline. This is SO MEAN I can't quite get over it. No one on the red team (which includes Andy and Helen) is sleeping for a week.
But it's soon time to move on from Have Notsville — because it's time for the hamsters to begin scheming in smallish groups. Amanda and Kaitlin agree that Candice is beyond weird and for whatever reason wouldn't follow orders when it came to balancing the little plank of wood during the Have/Have Not challenge. Another name to come up is Judd, and finally Jessie is added to the bottom of the list. McCrae nods but says nothing.
Time for you to vote at home! What should the Have Nots eat next week? The choices are:
– bologna and blue cheese.
– oysters and okra
– liver and lima beans
The first choice doesn't sound that bad, really. Better than prison food, honestly.
The scheming continues Amanda tells McCrae to put up Jessie, in part because everyone hates her and also because she's jealous of her ass. Seriously, she says that. Elissa visits McCrae and reveals her secret, which everyone and their dog already knows. Aaryn and David and Jessie talk to McCrae and suggest he put up Ellissa and Helen. So, I guess that's an alliance? Or maybe Jessie just tagged along. I don't get the sense anyone wants to align with Jessie.
Finally, Nick pulls McCrae aside. Nick wants McCrae to nominate girls, but in a pinch David would be okay. McCrae is thinking about nominating Elissa, even though as a super fan he thinks it's kinda cool to have a sibling of a former winner in the house. I don't really think Elissa's connection to Rachel means she has any kind of edge. Even though Rachel won, her teammates hated her. She scraped through by the skin of her teeth, if I recall, and finally everyone had to give her props for playing tough and not being a floater. But that's hardly a strategy that can be replicated.
Time for nominations ceremony!
The first key is… Nick
Second key is… Jeremy
Third key is… David
Fourth key is Aaryn
Fifth key is… Kaitlin
Sixth key is… GinaMarie
Seventh key is… Elissa
Eighth key is… Helen
Ninth key is…Amanda
Tenth key is… Andy
Eleventh key is… Howard
Twelfth key is… Spencer
Thirteenth key is… Judd
That means Jessie and Candice are nominated for eviction. The nomination ceremony is adjourned.
Neither of these choices are unexpected, honestly. Even for us as viewers, we can't say either Candice or Jessie have emerged as particularly likable (Candice is okay, but Jessie makes me want to pull my hair out by the roots) or seem like big threats. They're not even much fun in the interview room. Still, I suspect the person who'll actually go home will be whoever is nominated by the MVP. If the MVP is smart, he or she will pick a big dog to take out early (Jeremy comes to mind) and, if the hamsters are smart and can come together (with the exception of the Moving Company alliance), the game could change dramatically.
The two hamsters on the block are pissed, of course. Jessie thinks she'll win POV and come after McCrae. Candice is weepy and ready to fight. McCrae didn't want to make any enemies this week, so he hopes the MVP will do the dirty work. I hope so, too!
What did you think of this episode? Who do you think is going home? Do you think the MVP will change the game, and who would you (or will you) vote for to be the MVP?

Apart from families, memories, Ireland and a host of other things, The Gathering is about child abuse. There is nothing in the blurb that even mentions this and I feel in the light of recent disclosures and the extent of institutionalised abuse that this is very telling.
The book is about the knowing, the guilt, the suspicion and the total destruction of the child and perhaps all those who knew and, either were too young to know what they knew, or denied it.
It seems with Rotherham in the news so dramatically that we are all guilty of silence. A culture of silence when no one would believe you if you said the word aloud or accused the favourite uncle, brother, father, grandfather, step father, or even friend of the family.
The prevalence of paedophilia feels like the fall of the Roman Empire. Those last days of debauchery when the worst of the worst of people's nature was allowed to let rip. Perhaps a penchant for sex with children is part of some people's nature and as difficult to renounce as over eating or over drinking but that does not make it OK or mean that control cannot be exercised. I think I'd be with Nancy Reagan on this – Just say no.

text: The idea appeared uncomplicated to me since the definition of feminism is the conviction that men and women ought to have equal rights and openings. It is the idea of political, financial and social uniformity of the genders. Be that as it may, research and my daily observations have made one thing clear to me: feminism has turned into a disagreeable term and individuals are opting not to distinguish as feminists because the beliefs of such individuals are seen as "forceful", "against men" and "ugly".Lamentably, there will always be individuals who detest the term but my message for them is: it isn't the terminology that is vital, it's the notion and aspiration behind it. I believe it is right that a woman is paid and regarded the same as her male comparable. I believe it is right that a woman ought to have the capacity to settle on her own choices. I believe it is right that a woman ought to be associated with the arrangements and choices that will influence her life. And I believe it is right that socially, a woman ought to be given an indistinguishable regard from a man. I believe these rights are human rights, yet still, not a single nation on the planet can say that they have accomplished complete gender equality.Unfortunately, men don't have the benefit of fairness either. Men are made delicate and unconfident by a contorted perfect of what forms male success. We as a society don't often discuss that men are confined by gender stereotypes, yet all it takes is one close look to see that they also are. If men were to be liberated, things would change for women as a characteristic outcome. If men didn't feel the need to be belligerent in order to succeed, women wouldn't feel pressured to be compliant.Every human being should be able to be sensitive without being judged. Every human being should feel free to be strong and independent too. It is time we begin viewing each other as equals and it is time we begin defining each other not by what we are not, but by what we are.Everyone needs to understand this so that women and young girls are never again subject to prejudice and also so that men and boys have the ability to be sensitive and human too. We must reclaim the parts that our society has surrendered over the centuries because gender equality is not a woman's fight, it is a human fight.In the event that we do nothing, it will take nearly eighty years or almost three generations for a woman to be paid the same as her male counterpart. Almost sixteen-million girls will be married off in the next 17 years as children. And at our current rates, it won't be until the year 2086 before all young rural African girls can receive a secondary education.It is not enough to simply talk about equality. We must fight for what we believe in. Venture forward, make your presence known and let us fight together.

The last two days were full of interesting things, that I didn't even have the time to myself.
As you already know, I went to debate on Monday, which by the way sucked. We lost. I couldn't even believe it, since the four of us were ok. And only the last two from the other team did good. They didn't break all our points, and well, it wet pretty bad. I felt guilty, but then again, I did my best. Somehow I think I am losing the grip. Before I'd be in full kick, but this time, I just felt as if I did a workout, and that was it.
After that, I went straight home, packed and went to Himmafushi. It's been a year since I last went there. Right after we set foot in the island, we went swimming, and took some photos. I wasn't in most of them, since I was the photographer. sucks! We ate, played, and it was so much fun. An Aunt in law, my aunt, two cousins, twins, Muntha and me had the times of our lives. Then we had pizza, and went for walks.
I came back yesterday around 3, and then went to another cousin's place for tea. Also went to FMC to find it closed. After all that fun, I eventually forgot it was a national holiday. Blimey!
And today, it's back to college again. Six hours of lectures, here I come!
How was your holiday?
PS, Thanks to the debate, I now know who from my class are real friends and who are not. I don't know what to feel!

Looking at Sixth Form options? Want to …
Play professional cricket, but don't want to miss out on qualifications along the way?
Build a career in cricket coaching, sports science, psychology, management or teaching?
Go into a sports related business using your cricket and entrepreneurial skills?
Or simply want to develop your cricket skills whilst getting your academic qualifications?
Working in partnership with Sussex Cricket, the Aldridge Cricket Academy (ACA) gives male and female cricketers the chance to develop sporting talent and academic qualifications together, rather than having to choose between the two.
Students at the Aldridge Cricket Academy combine their sixth form studies at Brighton Aldridge Community Academy with an intensive cricket development programme. Now in the fifth year it's a unique programme for both boys and girls in the state sector locally.
Building on the success of our sixth form provision, we are now extending our partnership with Sussex Cricket to launch the BACA Junior Cricket Pathway for Years 7 – 9 male and female cricketers.
We offer students outstanding facilities and coaching, unique in the state-sector locally.
- Premier league ground and home of Sussex Women's Cricket
- £2m indoor cricket centre with three full run-up length lanes
- ECB Level 3 & 4 Coaching Team providing 1:1 coaching and strength & conditioning
- Overseas tours
In February 2015 students undertook their first tour, to South Africa. ACA student Tara Norris, who participated in the England Woman's U-19 pace bowling camp in South Africa just before this tour, said "I learnt to make the most of every opportunity and to be pushed outside my comfort zone as great things happened when I did this."
The squad toured Dubai in 2017 and Sri Lanka in 2019.
ACA student Matt Graves, who completed his studies at the academy in July 2018, posted on Twitter about his experience with the ACA: "A big thank you to the the coaches and staff at the at the Aldridge Cricket Academy for the most amazing two years. Not only am I a better cricketer but I'm also a better person. it's a fantastic programme with some amazing people. Thank you ."
The Sir Rod Aldridge Cricket Centre, which features three lanes of cricket nets with full run ups was opened by former England Captain Charlotte Edwards in June 2016. In November 2017 an MCC Foundation Hub was launched at the Cricket Centre.
Following on from Tara Norris' selection in 2016 Will Sheffield became the first boy from the Aldridge Cricket Academy to be accepted to Sussex County Cricket's Academy in 2017, and was selected for the first team squad for the opening fixture in 2018. In April 2019 Will signed professional forms with Sussex.
In July 2018 former ACA student Liam O'Brien was selected and starred for England in the Vitality IT20 Physical Disability Tri-Series campaign, scoring 60 and taking 2-31 with the ball on debut v. Pakistan.
"The cricket facilities and programmes at Brighton Aldridge Community Academy are outstanding."
Rob Andrew, Chief Executive, Sussex Cricket

Question about Chevrolet Silverado
Posted by sandovst on
SOURCE: Vapor lock
Hi, replace gas cap.....
Posted on Aug 24, 2008
SOURCE: i have a 2003 kia sorento ex. When the return line
If you take the fuel return line off and it starts, it should spray some fuel out of the fitting the line slips onto. If not, you are either pulling the vaccum line or the pressure regulator is bad, or you could have a fuel pump going bad. One way to check the regulator is to apply vacuum to the port on the regulator and turn the key to "run" not start. With vacuum applied, fuel should run out of the return line fitting. If not, bad regulator or weak pump, maybey even a clogged fuel filter. If so, vacuum leak or blocked hose. Let me know if this helps :)

SOURCE: how to change a starter on 1984 chevy c10 with a
First disconnect the power cable from the battery. If your starter has a mounting bracket on the nose undo that nut first ( some have, some don't). Undo the nut that holds the battery cable to the starter and remove the wires ( count them so you know how many go back on). Under the truck you have to remove the inspection cover from the front of the transmission next to the motor. Undo the 2 bolts on the bottom of the starter. When these come out the starter will drop so be prepared because you still have 1 wire attached. Ease the starter down and remove the small wire from the inside of the solenoid and take the starter out with you. When you get the rebuilt starter from the autoparts store make sure you get a new solenoid. An old solenoid and a new starter is kind of like recycling used toilet paper, possible but not worth the trouble. It goes back in the reverse of taking it out.
BE CAREFUL putting the small wire back on the new solenoid. It has to be tight but you can easily strip it if you get carried away with it. If by chance that happens just double nut it with the nut from the old one and you'll be okay. Hope this helps.
