I have in the past written about our natural talent in finger-pointing. It's been two years since I wrote that article and it's clear that nothing has changed.
Last month the hanging bridge at Kuala Dipang collapsed even though it was a newly-constructed bridge. Within hours, the body of a girl was found. Eventually 3 children died in that tragedy. It was mentioned that the outing was made compulsory, so one has to wonder if the parents of these kids could do very much to stop their children from joining the camp.
So who's at fault here?
Are the parents at fault? Surely they can't be responsible, since all they did was to obey the wishes of the authority wanting so much to promote their 1Malaysia thing? Besides, if it's true that the school made it a compulsory activity, then it would have been even harder for the parents to deny their permissions?
Is the Government at fault? Well, maybe not directly. But surely there must have been an authority that's responsible for the safety of the bridge? Did anyone check the construction specifications before approving the use of the bridge?
Are the teachers responsible? Would it have been any difference if, for example, they had limited the number of students to, say, 20 crossing the bridge at any one time?
Maybe the contractor who built the bridge did not build it to specifications? Somehow it was built understrength?
A lot of questions to be answered, and of course all the parties involved are now working very, very hard to point fingers at each other. However, it seems that the Deputy Prime Minister had recently acknowledged that the recent collapse of the bridge "may have been caused by its flawed construction."
In the following weeks, I'm sure many more excuses will surface, but during dinner shortly ago, I was discussing about this case with Mia. She said her mom is blaming the children themselves. Apparently, it's been reported that the children were playing and jumping on the bridge on that fateful day, and that had caused it to collapse.
I said so what if the kids were playing and jumping on the bridge? If the contractor who constructed the bridge had any brains at all, he would have anticipated the possibility of kids playing and jumping on the bridge. That bridge shouldn't have collapsed merely because the kids were playing on it.
If the bridge was built to a strength of a limited loading capacity, then the contractor owed the duty to notify the people who're using the bridge. For example, a huge, clear signboard showing the loading capacitysay, "ONLY 10 PEOPLE ON BRIDGE AT A TIME", y'know, something like what see in the lifts. It's not mentioned if there was such a signboard there, and if there was, then why weren't the treachers heeding such notice?
Kids being what they are, is it really unforeseeable that they would play while crossing the bridge? In fact, I think it is unforeseeable that they won't! I'm surprised that my mother-in-law is psychoed into believing that it's the kids' fault for the tragedy.
Anyway, I'm eagerly waiting for the final outcome of the investigation. I want to know when and if the guilty party has been identified, what will be done about it.

Vinny Lingham is Clear About Bitcoin: "I don't think we see $20k for a while"
Significant part of crypto community, still cannot recover from the fall of the cryptocurrency, the rate of which is still in a red zone. According to the CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin, at the moment of writing the article, is set on at $3 747 per coin and still falling. But some representatives of crypto community have their own view about the situation on the market and predict their own price of Bitcoin. Vinny Lingham, an Internet entrepreneur, Co-founder and CEO of Civic, has answered to a few question of The Coin Shark, to clarify the situation on the market: Hello, Vinny. What do you think, will Bitcoin be able to overcome the $20 thousand mark next year? I took a $20k bet with Ronnie Moas in Vegas, last month. He predicted $28k by EOY 2019. I disagreed. I don't think we see $20k for a while, at the very least 2020, but possibly even 2021. In your opinion, what is the problem with cryptocurrency at the moment? There is too much hype, and not enough substance, as well as too much focus on the technology and not enough focus on the business or consumer value add. Can Ethereum become the leader in 2019? It is possible, but unlikely unless they can fix the scaling issues and deal with the lack of consensus within their community.

Ame-Comi Girls 5
This continues to be a pleasant romp by Palmiotti, Gray, and a team of artists. In this installment, we are introduced to this universe's version of Hawkgirl, complete with origin. I really like this female-centric take on the DCU, but wish it had been done with more realistic art. Still, it's a decent comic for kids of all ages.
The Movement 3
The plot thickens a bit in Gail Simone's politically charged comic and Freddie Williams II's art continues to do the job, complementing the gritty story. The story centers around a corrupt city and I'm still not sure what to think of it. I don't have enough invested in the characters yet, appealing as they might be. And I'm not fond of rats or mice, so having a character who surrounds himself with them just gives me the creeps.
I also contributed to the Indiegogo project Grayson: Earth One, which is a very cool reworking of Nightwing's origin that assumes Dick was never taken in by Batman and had to fend for himself. I saw the first episode and it was rather well done, with appealing actors. Give it a look and contribute because I want to see more episodes.

Truth OR Myth- Historical Files- The Klingon Empire – Pt 1
Hello and welcome to Truth or Myth. In today's episode, we take a look at the historical event that shaped the Klingon Empire from early history until the events of Star Trek: Discovery…
One of the most iconic and recognized alien races created for Star Trek, the Klingons would go through many transformations, both culturally and personality wise before becoming the race so many admired and respected in the TNG Era.
Like humanity, early Klingon history is filled with myths and fairy tales, though fairy tales doesn't aptly describe Klingon History that well…
Though it's unknown if a Klingon Bible exists it is believed by most Klingons that Kortar and his mate slew the gods that had created them and started the Klingon Race in a place called Qui'Tu, loosely translated to the Garden of Eden in human terms.
Sometime around the 9th Century AD, a tyrannical dictator sent an army to confront the Klingon Messiah Kahless the Unforgettable and huge battle was fought in the Great Hall of the Klingon Empire. Kahless and his mate the Lady Lukara won the battle and shortly after began the greatest romance ever recorded in Klingon lore. In fact, so great was the influence of this romance that every subsequent marriage would be based upon it.
Kahless killed Molar in single combat at the river Skral using the first Bat'leth he himself had fashioned. A Bat'leth which would become knowns as the sword of Kahless.
After Molars defeat, his temples were either abandoned or built over… But Molar's followers would continue to exist well into the 23rd century, has become a small religion by the period.
And because of Molars defeat, Kahless and Lukara would rule the Klingon Empire as it's first emperors. Even engaging and winning a war against the Fek'Ihri.
Kahless, though a mere commoner was loved by his people and considered the measuring stick of the Klingon culture. All actions would be subsequently compared to his. He was a powerful ruler, but also a wise one creating and establishing the basis for the Klingon Code of Honor which is still practiced into the 24th Century.
Kahless would unite the great Houses of Qo'noS and then after a long reign, spoke to his people, pointed at a star and said he was off to Sto'vo'kor. The Star he pointed at would later become Boreth, a very important Klingon Religious Colony.
Around the 14th Century, the Klingon Empire was invaded by an Enemy known as the Hor'q. And although they didn't remain on the planet long they DID steal The Sword of Kahless along with many other culturally significant artefacts from the Klingon Empire.
At one point, during the second dynasty, Emperor Reclaw and all the members of the imperial family were put to death. During the next decade, the Klingon Empire was ruled by a democratically elected government that produced several notable reforms.
But soon the Empire would revert back to its imperial system and a new dynasty, the 3rd dynasty was put in place where the titles and names of the original imperial family were given to a new group of Klingons to give the illusion on an unbroken succession.
Sometime after 1947, the Klingons achieved warp drive and by the year 2152 most Klingon Vessels were capable of a maximum speed of warp factor 6.
In the year 2016, the Vulcan Species made first contact with the Klingon Empire, having crossed into Klingon Space near H'atoria, the Klingons immediately destroyed the ship. The Vulcans, not wanting to make the same mistake twice, would from then on immediately fire upon any Klingon vessel the encountered until formal diplomatic relations were established. This became known as the Vulcan Hello in the TOS era of Star Trek. basically, violence is a language in which the Klingons understood and respected.
By the mid 21st Century the last of the Klingon Emperors died and the Klingon Government switched to Chancellorship that ruled with a Klingon High Council.
By the 22nd century, the Klingon Empire had become a major power in the Alpha Quadrant. Having created the Klingon Imperial Fleet to oversee their own Territory and protect it from outsiders.
In 2133, while searching for new territory to conquer, a Klingon ship ventured into the Delphic Expanse. When the ship re-emerged from the anomaly, the Entire crew had been anatomically inverted yet still alive, shortly thereafter the Klingon High Council forbade any and all ships from entering the Expanse.
In the early 2150s, the Klingon Empire was on the verge of civil war. But when a single Klingon crashed his ship in Broken bow Indiana, and the first human starship, the Enterprise, returned that Klingon home unharmed, the civil war was averted.
This civil war had been engineered by a faction in the Suliban Hierarchy called the Kobal. And encoded in the DNA of that Klingon Warrior was proof of the plans to destabilize the Empire.
This first contact with humans though would establish a pattern of misunderstandings between the 2 races. The Klingon Empire would see humanity, and later the Federation, as a threat to its cultural identity. Seeing one race after another becoming a part of the stellar alliance an becoming, in their opinion, diluted to believe in human-centric values.
In 2154, the Human crisis would come to a head when it was discovered that humanity had created augments. Genetically Engineered, superior humans that could out strength and outwit a Klingon crew quite easily. This would then lead to the Empire experimenting itself with augmenting Klingon Officers, an experiment which would have lasting consequences for the Empire.
Very quickly, the Klingon's inferior medical sciences division would accidentally create a virus that would infect a large number of Klingons in the empire. Instead of creating augmented Klingons, the disease would, in fact, create Klingons which appeared and acted more like a human being.
Instead for turning these human-Klingon hybrids away though, or exterminating them, the Klingon Empire would embrace them and use them to their advantage against humanity itself.
Shortly after this incident, the Klingon Empire went into a century-long period of isolation, having very few encounters with humanity let alone any alpha quadrant species outside of their territory.
Around 2245 the Klingons began to appear a bit more frequently. Relations had by this point deteriorated to the point where both the Federation and The Empire were in a constant state of unremitting hostility leading to the inconclusive battle of Donatu V and the Klingon terror raid of Doctari Alpha.
But by 2256, the 24 Great Houses of the Klingon Empire were engaged in open warfare upon each other. Each house attempting to show how much better it was then other houses. But it was in that year that T'Kuvma, a Klingon with a noble heritage, would attempt to unite the Great houses and destroy the Federation once and for all…

You can learn a lot about writing from author interviews like this. Especially if you've read and reviewed the book carefully. Rita Williams-Garcia's novel for young readers really intrigued me. Historical fiction at its very best. So to read how she used her research to fill in the pieces, just enough to give the book its flavor yet not overwhelm, check that great post over at Story Sleuths, which is a blog worth following if you've ever wondered just how writers put their thoughts together.
Here's a bit of my take on the novel.
Rita Williams-Garcia's knowledge of the period is extensive. Her ability to describe this remarkable time and place (1968 Oakland, California) so that young readers understand the circumstances surrounding the Black Panthers and the American political climate is pitch perfect. Her child-friendly references— from President Kennedy to Cassius Clay to Mighty Mouse— make the story wondrous. This is historical fiction at its very best.
You can read more of what I had to say by following this link to my review in the Christian Science Monitor or to Joyce Moyer Hostetter's blog about history and how the stories are told.

Malappuram: When Neeraj Bal hits the Carnatic note with perfection or does a magical bowing on the violin, his cerebral palsy-affected elder brother breaks into a rapturous applause in his own way.
Aditya Bal will always be in the front row to encourage his brother whenever Neeraj, who came first in violin and Carnatic music competitions in the District School Art fest, performs on the stage.
It was Aditya, a degree student of the Kozhikode Government College, who introduced his brother into the world of music. Native of Kakkanchery in Malappuram district, they went to noted musician Kaithapram Vishwanathan in Kozhikode to practise music therapy as a healing technique for Aditya's medical condition. Later, Neeraj got hooked on to music and started learning violin and Carnatic music.
This is the third time Neeraj, a Class 11 student of St Paul's English Medium School at Thenjipalam, had topped the district in violin competition. He also came up trumps twice in Carnatic music at the district level. Neeraj has also secured 'A' grade in State School Art fest.

World Architecture Day 2014
The theme of 2014 World Architecture Day, October 6, will be "Healthy Cities, Happy Cities."
The International Union of Architects invites its members to organise special activities linked to the event, which will celebrate the role architects and architecture play in the vitality of the urban setting and in the well-being of its inhabitants.
How can architects design and construct "healthy" spaces, facilities, housing and urban landscapes which foster happiness, health and quality of life for city-dwellers?
By what means are architects able to bring life to cities, to infuse them with energy, to insure their viability, to anticipate and heal disorders, to forestall disintegration and to accompany their harmonious development?
Responsible architectural design has spotlighted the role of the architect as an obligation to design a sustainable environment by means of an ethical professional practice in the areas of energy, implementation and materials.

Injured dance instructor gets back on her feet

Former Union Minister Yashwant Sinha and BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha on Tuesday called on fasting Patidar agitation leader Hardik Patel and said that they will take his agitation over the demand for reservation for Patels and farm debt waiver to the national level.On Energy Minister Saurabh Patel's remarks that Hardik's indefinite fast was backed by the opposition Congress and that the state was doing its best for the Patel community and farmers, Shatrughan Sinha said that all political parties were supporting the fasting leader."The whole country is moved by Hardik's fast, except the governments at the Centre and the state," Yashwant Sinha told reporters. Yashwant Sinha resigned from the BJP in April.Both leaders said they had extended support to Hardik on his demands."The farmers issues raised by Hardik are not confined to Gujarat but are relevant to the whole country. Farmers are in deep distress and the situation requires a permanent solution. I appeal to everyone, including the opposition, to raise the issues of farmers across the country," Yashwant Sinha said.
Rubbishing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claims that Gujarat was a model state, Shatrughan Sinha said there was nothing like a Gujarat model. "The Gujarat model has failed. Now, you are not going to get bonus (in 2019 elections)," he said.According to medical reports, Hardik has lost around 20kg ever since he began his fast 11 days ago and his condition continues to deteriorate.Meanwhile, Gujarat's six religious organisations of the Patels discussed the issues arising out of Hardik's agitation and offered to mediate or help him end his fast. Their leaders later in the evening rushed to state capital Gandhinagar for a meeting with BJP Ministers from the community to discuss the situation.

I had planned to cook something new yesterday. I looked up the recipe, bought the ingredients but it did not happen. Most days with my toddler are good ones; yesterday was not. So, we had something easy for dinner and postponed the new food till tonight.
Tonight we had Chermoula Barramundi. I don't cook alot of fish. I know that I should eat it more often, it is just that I didn't grow up eating fish and it is not somthing that springs to mind when I am looking for a dinner option. And the recipe said pan fried… but when I looked there is not much oil in it at all so I thought I would give it a go. I adapted the recipe from one I saw in a magazine called Australian Healthy Food Guide which is a monthly magazine that I have just started buying. I like the look of it – some articles, a good number of healthy recipes and not all that expensive.
Chermoula is a marinade used in Morrocan cooking, usually for seafood and fish. Barramundi is an Australian fish. It is a firm white fish which can be substituted with bream, cod, flounder, kingfish, ling, perch, pike, snapper, shark, hake, whiting for roughly the same kJ intake.
I did like this meal. I served the fish with some lowfat oven bake potato wedges and a salad. The fish tasted nice and it was a light meal. I would cook this again.
4 x 150g Barramundi fillet (or other firm white fish fillet)
1 tbs olive oil
1/3 cup finely chopped coriander (cilantro)
1 tbs lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tbs white wine vinegar
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
Chermoula marinade:
Combine the coriander (cilantro), lemon juice, garlic, white wine vinegar, sweet paprika, ground cumin and half the olive oil. Spread the marinade onto the fish. Cover and refrigerate for an hour.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Cook the fish for 2 minutes on each side, or till cooked through.
Serve with salad.
Serves 4.
Nutritional info(per serve – without including any additional salad): 820kJ, 7 g fat, 1 g carb, 38 g protein

We are looking for an enthusiastic science, mathematics or engineering graduate to join us as a Software Test Engineer. You will help to ensure that the software we create and deliver to our clients is of the highest quality and meets their needs. The knowledge you have gained during your studies will help you to understand our clients' needs and what they are trying to achieve.
Prior testing experience is not expected, but you should be naturally methodical with a very keen eye for detail. You should also enjoy using new software and exploring its capabilities, noticing where it is deficient and could be made better.
The Role
You will be involved in all aspects of testing throughout the project lifecycle, from initial development testing through to final acceptance by the client. Your responsibilities will include:
• Collaborating with developers to identify and resolve software defects.
• Working with project teams to produce test plans and scripts.
• Reviewing software applications during development to confirm that all requirements have been met.
• Working with clients as they test and accept Tessella applications, advising and assisting as necessary.
• Building strong relationships, communicating and collaborating with clients and colleagues.
This is an exciting opportunity to be involved with many of Tessella's projects. You will further your own skills and experience by gaining exposure to the wide variety of clients we work with and the broad range of sectors we operate in. There may be opportunities to travel around our UK and European offices to support remote project teams directly.
During your career at Tessella, you will learn and develop your skills, but before you join us you should have:
• BSc (min 2.1), MSc or PhD in science, mathematics or engineering.
• A methodical approach to investigation and problem solving with a keen eye for detail.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate clearly with clients and colleagues from all backgrounds, with detail and precision.
• The eagerness and capacity to quickly learn new domains and technologies.
• Test automation is a growing part of ensuring software quality so, whilst not essential for the role, a good grounding in one of our core development languages would be an advantage: JavaScript, Java, Python, C, C#, C++, R, Matlab.
Career Development and Training
As well as a competitive salary and benefits package, we offer an industry-leading training package. All staff receive an annual training allowance of 150 hours, which can be used to learn new technical and soft skills, often leading to recognised professional qualifications. As a Graduate Software Test Engineer your Career Development Plan will include International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB®) training.
Our Culture and Benefits
We are proud of our culture, where a positive attitude, supportive colleagues and commitment to continuous learning are all valued. The wellbeing and engagement of all staff is our priority and we work in a collaborative, cooperative environment with a good work-life balance. We offer an excellent salary and benefits package including a profit-sharing scheme, non-contributory pension, relocation assistance and a range of flexible benefits, which staff can tailor to fit their needs. We also support flexible working requests where possible.
About Tessella
Tessella is the Analytics World Class Centre of the Altran Group, a global leader in innovation and high-tech engineering consulting. We are leaders in the field of data science and analytics and we have developed a reputation for helping clients solve their most complex technical challenges by unlocking the power of their data, enabling them to make better-informed business decisions.
Our work is at the cutting-edge of high-tech R&D and our projects are varied and rewarding. For example, in pharmaceutical companies we solve computational problems for chemists at the early stages of drug discovery and development, allowing them to get a head start when they begin their experiments in the lab, ultimately getting drugs to market faster. We help consumer goods companies model and simulate new product ideas and perform data analysis to improve their processes. We also support oil and gas engineers with the computational challenges of exploration and production, from reservoir modelling to writing control systems. In space and defence, we have written algorithms and solved complex mathematical problems to control satellites and radar systems.

Self-funding provides a flexible and affordable way to provide quality health care benefits to your employees, allowing you to track just how much you're spending in claims each month, and giving to complete access to the information you need whenever you need it.
Rather than paying a fixed annual premium regardless of the number of claims filed, you pay claims as they are incurred. This means you can invest your money into your employees rather than your insurance company.
Traditional insurance plans collect your premiums and pool them in a reserve where the money can be used to pay for employee claims. This means, you could be pooling money that may never be used. Self-funding protects you from paying a fixed monthly premium and keeps the cash flow under your roof, not going to your insurance company.
With self-funding, you can design your health benefit plan to meet the unique needs of your employees. Also, Self-funded plans are exempt from state insurance laws that typically mandate certain benefits for insured plans.
Because you can see exactly how much you spend each month, you can make changes to your plan to better manage your costs while maximizing the efficiency of your benefits. Self-funded plan designs can include strategies to monitor utilization, steer care to discounted provider arrangements, and assure appropriateness of care, all of which encourage wellness and provide incentives for wise utilization of care.
We provide convenient, secure access to all the information needed to manage a self-funded plan effectively. Authorized individuals of a self-funded employer receive confidential monthly reports, and everyone covered under the plan has secure online access to timely benefit-related information. Our website offers both our client employers and the covered members enrolled in their plans comprehensive access to their health plan information 24 hours a day, seven days a week. On our website you will find information on eligibility, claims payments, and much more.

By Susana Mozo ( Global SaaS Client Manager)
Our company meets goals, bumps up sales and projects multiply. This is fantastic news! Obviously this isn't just a matter of getting on with work; to develop their business, companies need to recruit the best talent. So it's time to hire. But have we thought about what we want from a recruitment process?
- A new workforce.
- To get the best professionals in the labour market.
- To get the best talent as well as reliable recruitment information to bring in outstanding hires that allow us to pull off our mission successfully and to be able to set up continuous improvement processes based on objective data that's easy to analyse and track.
If this were a multiple test question in a questionnaire in a "Recruitment 101" course, we'd be pretty sure that the right option would be "C". However, everything will depend on the state of maturity in our organization, on the analysis that we can do on the data stored, and also on the feedback from the information gathered about the on-going processes.
If we are at the initial stage, our prime goal will simply be to reach option "B": to get the best professionals in the labour market. But let's not kid ourselves. It is not an easy goal and harder still, if we don't have enough information. Using intuition and experience, we can infer certain conclusions on how to obtain information, such as: portals from where I get more candidates or profiles that best fit our corporate structure and culture. Needless to say, these intuitions belong to the people making the inferences and vanish when these leave the company.
If we are a part of a mature organization and have the resources needed, we can, and must, go a little further. For this, it's essential to have a technology tool available that helps us to store and analyse data to get the right information. What indicators should this measure?
- It must really understand how we source candidates
- What is the rate for new candidates by process type?
- What is the rate for existing candidates who fit in my database by process type?
- Origin of the source for obtaining candidates.
- Where do the candidates who fit our offers come from?
- We need to find out where we get the most qualified candidates from, which ones pass the preliminary filters, which ones reach the end of the process, and of course, which ones are finally hired. We don't need to receive hundreds of CVs, just the ones that fit the requirements for the vacancy.
- Average duration in candidate selection processes: where do our recruitment processes get stuck? In what phases do we take the longest? Do we lack recruiters and need the help of external recruitment companies for the preliminary phase? Are our managers so busy that we need to fine-tune screening so that the process does not go on for months? Maybe we need to include extra evidence that will allow us to better assess the candidates, before involving other departments inside our company. To obtain this information, we need to be able to track our candidate selection processes. If we can't, this won't be doable.
- Success rate: as in, how many offers do we send and how many are accepted? If the acceptance rate is low, maybe we aren't doing this well and we should review the target audience of our processes, as well as the compensation we offer. If the rate of aborted processes is high, perhaps we aren't really screening properly or we aren't pitching the vacancy properly.
- Process cost: how much does it cost us to select a candidate and how are these costs split, for example: job boards, external recruitment companies, internal recruiters, and time spent by our management, etc.
- Time spent in the job: a clear way to know if we have really been successful with recruiting a candidate is to find out the length of time the employee remains in the job. Logically, this KPI's value will depend on the job type and the investment that we make in both the recruitment process and in the training required for upskilling the employee to perform new functions. Selecting the wrong candidate can be very costly, not just due to the consequences of the candidate's poor or negative performance, but also to triggering at the organizational level, many hidden costs in recruitment, training and missed opportunities.
All these KPIs are very interesting, but to get them we need information and that's only possible to access, if we have structured data correctly. For this, the best solution is to have a technology tool for recruitment to help us to do the process and record our recruitment activities. However, for this to be successful it will be necessary to feed it and that in itself is an investment. The more thorough we are at recording such data, the more information we will get, and the greater the control we will have over our internal processes, because as Sir Francis Bacon once said, "information is power" and in the personnel recruitment field, this is a well-established fact.

QWhat health implications could rise due to exam pressure and how can it affect the mentality of young children?
Exams and their aftermath affect children in different ways. While some children thrive, some appear to suffer. Children with an anxious temperament are likely to anticipate and worry about the worst outcomes at an exam. Worry itself can affect the ability to concentrate and make studying even more difficult. Others with obsessive temperaments will sometimes try to get perfect results. As they have a tendency to avoid things they can't do perfectly, this may lead to an avoidance of exams and school if they feel they cannot achieve what they want.
It has now been shown that chronic stress can affect the developing brain and alter our responses in adult life. The neural circuits that deal with stress are known to change with chronic stress. This can lead to a poorly regulated stress response system later life. Exam stress can also be considered chronic stress for some, as there is a long drawn out period of preparation and anticipation before the exam itself.
QHow can parents help their children overcome such exam stress?
While exams are important, in the real world, resilience or the ability to overcome difficulties is more crucial. To be resilient, children need to feel secure in their attachment to their parents. Thus, children should feel that their parents are happy with them and will support them no matter what their outcome at the exam!
Parents can also help by teaching their children important skills in planning and organisation. Having other things going on in your child's life is also important, so that the consequences of exams are not the only thing in their world.
It is a good practice to be available to talk to your child at an emotional level. This is so that when they do feel stressed, they will be able to communicate this with you. All too often, we see that children are unable to communicate and internalise their distress, becoming sad, angry, withdrawn and even developing symptoms like headaches.
Finally as Donald Winicott, a famous child psychoanalyst said, what a child needs is not a perfect parent but a parent who is good enough. In today's unforgiving world of exams, it is necessary to be forgiving of both yourself and your child.
Booruwa Thursday, 23 February 2017 10:46 PM
Feel sorry for kids in this generation. Our outdated education system is failing our youth. Exams add needless stress because our exams are designed to fail as many students as possible due to restricted entry to state universities. Many students do not even have text books beyond AL's. Even University libraries and labs are ill equipped.

A Vassal of the Monarch
Fallo Swordsferret last edited by
Name: Aníbal Sebastián Heliodoro Delvalle
Species: Common Genet
Gender: Male
Age: 36 seasons
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 157 Lbs
Personality: Aníbal cuts the figure of a perfect gentleman, and as a knight in the service of the Castilian crown he is at no liberty to behave in any other manner but that of a chivalrous champion. Bolstered by the blessings of the current monarch, and emboldened by the apparent glory of his mission, he is as fearless as they come. His list of priorities is no longer than his pinky thumb, and while they are few, in his mind the magnitude of each one constitutes fanatical devotion. First on the list is the Queen, followed shortly by Country, Duty hot on their heels with Personal Endeavors lagging behind like the fatty in a marathon.
Being a civilized beast of a morally and ethically pure nation, it is only fitting for him to be as agreeable and diplomatic as possible, especially in the situations where he is regarded as the foreigner. In all his dealings in Mossflower, with goodbeast and vermin alike, he behaves in a civil manner, talking slow and deliberately to cancel out his debilitating thick accent. If negotiations are not going as planned he may just switch into a dialect that is more familiar with the natives, with his honed blade playing the role of the stylus, and their life fluid that of ink.
Cruelty of any sort, when not endorsed by the ruling powers of his budding nation, greatly perturbs Aníbal, to the point where he takes immediate and precise action. Typically resulting in severe bodily harm to the abuser, chastening of the abused, ending with Aníbal uttering a few curses in his native tongue whilst he attempts to slip away unnoticed. In all 20 seasons he has spent in military service, never once has he struck an unarmed beast. Instead, if it is entirely necessary that he eliminates one whose life must end, he promptly supplies his opponent with a blade. He makes it a point to abscond from killing any who he perceives as weaker, and will dispatch these lesser foes with stunning blows to the head, utilizing his upper body strength and his swords pommel stone. Laying his hands on women and children is out of the question, his moral code bars him from any acts of aggression towards those deserving of love and protection.
He takes great personal pride in his status as First Lieutenant of the 1st Frontier Espadachines Brigade, stationed at the border of the jointly owned Castille-Leon territory, acting as a buffer between teeming hordes of Moorish savages and the last refuge from the constantly shifting political squabbles of the other neighboring kingdoms. It is in this role he has seen fit to fabricate many tactics that by modern standards would be deemed unethical. He is as cunning as he appears polite, and on more than one occasion has he tricked the Saracens into entering the gates of his beloved fortress, retinue in tow, before slaughtering them with a well-planned ambush.
He is single-minded, with dogged determination to accomplish any task The Lady wishes of him, however menial or capricious. This undying loyalty has been endowed upon others who have saved his life, or done him a great service. Be thankful if you have been given to pleasure to watch this imposing creature kneel before you with his helmeted head bowed humbly, clasping your paw in two of his as he recites the vow of life-long fealty. It is a rare sight to see, and you will have been the third beast to pay witness to spectacle.
Although he appears reserved, an unbridled ambition bubbles up from the fierce furnace of his soul from time and again, revealing his far uglier side. This has led many to believe him to be a greedy, cold and empty hearted radical extremist, which he is indeed.
Strengths: His shrewd eyes have served to divine the next strike of the Moorish raiders on more than one occasion, and though they were as unpredictable as the swirling sands they sought refuge in, Aníbal was always there to meet them in the embrace of death. Thus, too have his keen optics gifted him with the foresight to analysis his opponents' movements, allowing him to respond in kind with a deft swipe of his trusty blade or to defect away.
His physical strength is not to be scoffed at, a hardened veteran of an impossible war does not reach such a state without much sacrifice, and one of the first to go was his penchant for laziness. With the many drills occupying his time, the iron armor draped over his shoulders, and the high protein diet of flesh and lactose products of unknown origin, it is no wonder how he became so brawny. Not enough to strike awe or to give pause, but enough to come out of a struggle victorious, the head of his vanquished challenger clenched in a mail fist.
His unwillingness to surrender despite overwhelming odds has been most beneficial for him, not only in terms of climbing the military's complex and shoddy social/promotional ladder, but also in garnering him a reputation amongst the easterling barbarians as a force to be reckoned with, belying his outward civility and subtle charm. Though the Spanish identity has yet to be forged, he had the makings of a true Spanish conquistador.
His fierce and unquestionable loyalty has gained him much loyalty in return, from countrymen and soldiers of fortune alike, particularly the Barbary corsairs the monarchy conscripts to replace the depleting number of patriots in the National Guard. Unlike the other commanders, he treats these vile scums as if they were his very own soldiers, with care and consideration.
Weaknesses: His chivalry has proved time and time again to be his undoing, with a majority of the beasts he chooses to spare either attempting to strike a blow just as he turns his back, or leaving and returning with a newly formed invasion force. On one occasion he nearly had his cashmere tail lopped off by a disgruntled hamster clad in indigo robes, which Aníbal accented with a lovely crimson hue shortly after.
His pride has also proven to lead to squabbles amongst his fellow officers, officers who have a better social standing and resolute grasps on the day to day socio-political minutia provided by the comingling of nobility and military personnel. It is in this way he has managed to alienate himself from any who may prove essential to his survival in the corrupted hierarchy, leaving him to his own devices, not an asset in sight.
His ambition, as mentioned above.
Unfortunately, despite being a reasonably intelligent beast, his tongue is unaccustomed to the gothic tongue spoken in Mossflower, leaving him with an atrociously thick accent. To many beasts' ears it is unintelligible at best. Naturally, he is easily misunderstood by others and either casually ignored or silenced by a chorus of jeering laughter and mimicry.
His voice, too, has been the source of much ridicule in his life. A bass, raspy voice with distinct nasal qualities, excessive rolling of the 'r's and a noticeable lisp have made him the target of belittlement. Volume control is also a problem of his, not only because of the clunky armor he dons, but because he cannot differentiate between his inside or outside voice. Typically, he blends the two into a horrid cacophony of awkward vowel sounds and unnecessary upward or downward inflection without heeding the listener's body language.
Habits: He always gives him opponent, regardless of his current physical condition or theirs, the chance to surrender and leave with their body intact. This is more courtesy than any others may show, and if they refuse and Aníbal eagerly obliges. Bowing and paw-kissing have become integral parts of Aníbal's daily induction and socialization. Whenever a maiden is introduced to him, he offers his upturned palm, brings her hand to his mouth, and plants a light peck upon the back. This has earned him a slap once or twice in recent years, because no woman appreciates unwarranted displays of affection, however tame they may be.
Proclaiming his full name in all its glory whilst initiating a bow is also common, along with listing any relevant family members his memory can dreg up to accent his introduction. It puffs up his ego, and gives him the appearance of inflated importance. Before a change, he will roar the name of his country's patron saint 'Santiago de Compostella', meant to strike fear and intimidation in the hearts of his Saracen foes.
Twisting his whiskers has become a fan favorite, and idle hands really have become a plaything, because he cannot help but run them through his tail fur when no beast is about. He prides himself on his tail; the less-developed vanity within him draws any attention to the twitching appendage behind him.
Drilling has become an intricate part of his daily life, and every day he attempts to reserve at least 2 hours of training time, and thus far the payoff has been exponential increase in stamina and performance.
Physical Description: Aníbal is a Genet of slightly above average height for his species, with decent musculature and even distribution of fat and excess skin where applicable. His pelt is an exotic spotted print akin to a leopard, a hypnotic pattern of mismatched black splotches encompassed by pale yellow rings and a light grey filler coat bearing a slight yellowish green tinge travels from the base of his skull, down his elegantly curving neck to his plump rump. His most defining feature, if choosing between his swan's neck and his bizarre banded tail, his tail wins hands down. Stretching far behind him at nearly twice his body length is an amazing display of animal adaptability and beauty; his glamorous tail of consecutive white and black bands of cashmere fur, ending in a jet black tip that twitches lazily when idle. A very expressive tail indeed, known for a variety of displays. Frizzing, erecting or slouching, twisting in the wind like a windsock, the list goes on.
A creamy eggshell colored underbelly bisects him from his lower jaw to his pelvis, spreading to the round of his ribs on both sides, and then etching down in a triangulated movement of jagged edges. A pair of large, swooping ears black-tipped wreath his narrow face, which is as mutely colored as the rest of him and bedecked in zig-zagging black lines. His sleek facial features include two large, pale green eyes whose pupils are wreathed in that brownish gold layer iron deposits tend to form, his ears with inquisitive tufts of off-white fur peering out of them, and lastly a brown-speckled black nose at the very end of his drawn snout. His paws, which have smote many a worthy adversary, were the same off-white as his underbelly and marred with lines as well. Aníbal is quite the attractive specimen, who possesses good proportions.
Clothing entails several articles, mainly his civilian garb first. A simple tunic of woven fibers suffices, with a dreary brown coloration and lacking any defining features. A pair of trousers from the same material with a rope belt serve best to hide him from the world. A pair of wooden-soled shoes clings to his feet.
Military regalia are an entirely different story. He trades his modest tunic for that made of multiple heavy layers of tightly woven cotton mesh that wraps about his torso from front to back with flaps for rear and frontal extremities, secured by a broad leather waist belt with a large hoop buckle of burnished bronze. Pair of white, paned hose with ornately puffing fabric in a plethora of colors at the thighs serves as covering. The predominant coloration of his bizarre, yet customary legwear being a mauve base, crimson cross-woven with strips of maroon with a few trace threads of silver. Breeches, too, are a necessary article of clothing, although more for modesty than anything else. To complete his bizarre appearance, a ruff of plain fabric adorns his neck.
A steel breastplate bearing the cross of Santiago as a large, gold-plated centerpiece that encompassed nearly the entire piece resides on his chest. A simple backplate attached via a system of leather straps to the breastplate possesses no embellishments. A set of highly-polished tassets is latched upon his breastplate, along with some steel grieves and small gleaming spaulders increase the probability of protection while enhancing mobility. Atop his head, the venerable comb morion rests, affixed to it with ginger care being a large eagle's ventral feather, a mottled brown denoting that of a predator. Mail gauntlets bastardized by thick mauve canvas and studded with lead on the knuckles protect his paws, which in their vice-like grasp bear a deadly combination.
In his left hand gripped tight is a side sword of unparalleled beauty, shining white in its clarity and sharpness, a perfectly round sample of Lapis lazuli reinforced by a steel cage serves as the pommel stone, with more used to accent the remainder of the hilt and hand guard, coated too in leather from an unknown rodent. A gift from the monarch herself, the blade's shine comes from the amalgamation technique used to smelt and purify the steel, whist the brilliant blue stone was retrieved from barter between Aníbal and one of the easterling warlords. Its simple scabbard hangs from his right him, attached by a ring to a thin belt encompassing his waist. In his right paw, a simple wooden buckler with a cast-iron end cap protruding from its center, extra stability and durability is added by the rounded bands of iron riveted on, encompassing the entire shield. Sheltering his feet from the many dangers awaiting them is a pair of all-purpose boots, with a ridged steel toe to defend from minor thrusts or crushing attacks.
A large burlap backpack with simple, crudely sewn aesthetics is draped over his shoulders, filled with miscellaneous paraphernalia. A small tent, a coarse fleece blanket, some flint, a journal to keep record of his travels in the foreign land, his civilian clothing and a whet stone all call this multi-purpose bag home.
Family Overview: The story of his birth is not one befitting a soldier of his supposed acclaim, and in lieu of this has it been swept under the rug by Aníbal. Even the country's census taker is in the dark in regards to his origins. It is a known fact that in order to excel in a region that demands of you blood that is undiluted by the vile peasantry of the surfs, when that thin, unremarkable blood is flowing in your veins that you must put aside any petty code of honor and lie. Aníbal did exceedingly well at climbing the social ladder, but as he learned later, it doesn't take much to be booted off your hard-won rung either.
In a wharf town north west of the citadel he called home, a lowly merchant by the name of Sebastián Delvalle anxiously paced across the hardwood floors that pooled across the communal birth sanitarium's foyer, his boots clomping incessantly as wood met wood at a brisk pace that nearly drove the poor nun cleric to tears. Beyond the threshold of the large, mahogany double doors was a chamber filled with bustling nuns, hard at work as they transferred blood-soaked towels to a large black barrel bearing the sickly sweet scent of putrefying bodily fluids. One with a stony face and clenched jaw brought a large, brass water basin, whilst another clasped a heap of swaddling clothes in her wizened hands. The fruit of their labor had been a gurgling babe that squealed for its mother who laid prone mere feet away, her chest heaving gently. Their attempts to salvage both mother and baby were successful; however the mother was extremely weak after her ordeal, and needed rest.
The door gently peeked open, and Sebastián whirled upon the wooden creak just as a petite paw urged him to enter. Anxiety gripped him, yet he obeyed the command so without a second though. Brushing the mousemaid aside with a flick of his fingers, he turned his head away from the offended creature to find himself gazing in awe at his infant son. Son! A proud son wrapped in layers of scratchy cloth, fast asleep in his weary mother's arms. Lizeth Heliodoro gazed up at her gaping husband with a thin-lipped smile on her speckled features, clutching her babe in the fashion only a mother could. A daughter of one of the many merchant clans about the city, she was betrothed to Sebastián in hopes that the wedding would bind the two separate clans in a profitable merger that would lead them into the next century as the most powerful organization in all of Leon.
But, in the three years they spent in the bonds of holy matrimony, love had bloomed from the original shallow intent. Though the pain of her labor had not yet subsided, she could not contain her elation. Her boy was the spitting image of his father, with his mother's fur, imagine that! A warm, slightly damp paw enveloped hers with a reassuring squeeze; her husband had made his way to her side in silent stupefaction.
"What shall we name him, mi amor?" She whispered, azure eyes dilated and half lidded from her struggle met his sharply focused chocolate brown orbs, her voice still managed to exude that smoky Latin tone that had drawn the affection of her Basque mate. "Aníbal."
She passed in her sleep shortly after this; a complication with her bleeding had prevented her from recovering.
NOTE: This is very much a work in progress, and is subject to change at any moment.

President Park Geun-hye met with UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova at Cheong Wa Dae today.
During their meeting, they discussed the importance of the success of the World Education Forum and the World Water Forum to be held in 2015 as well as ways to promote cooperation in connection with efforts to inscribe female divers of Jeju Island on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and include the 1983 Korean TV program aimed at reuniting separated families and related archives in the Memory of the World Register.
President Park expressed appreciation to UNESCO for everything it has done to help the Republic of Korea's nation-building efforts. She continued to say that she was pleased to confer the Order of Diplomatic Service Merit, Gwanghwa Medal, on Director-General Bokova in recognition of UNESCO`s contributions. The President went on to pledge that Korea would return the help it had received by sharing its know-how with developing countries as a partner for cooperation. Notably, she unveiled Korea's intent to expand its funds-in-trust and contribute to the international community by playing a more active role in setting the post-2015 development agenda.
President Park emphasized that education is the main key to the implementation of strategies for welfare and growth. In this connection, the President added that she would look into the possibility of Korea's joining the group of Member State Champions for the UN-led Global Education First Initiative.
In response, the Director-General first expressed her appreciation for the decoration and emphatically said that the creativity President Park highlighted at the World Economic Forum in Davos corresponds with the ideals UNESCO is pursuing. Noting that the World Education Forum 2015 is a crucial gathering to set the vision for education for the coming decades, the Director-General underscored that Seoul is an ideal venue given President Park's leadership and vision as well as Korea's track record in assistance to African countries.
On the topic of cultural heritage, President Park said she was pleased at the recent inscription of kimjang, the making and sharing of kimchi, on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. She also said that she hoped UNESCO would look further into inscribing other items from Korea on its lists, including pungmulnori (farmers' music and dance) and Jeju female divers as well as the 1983 Korean TV program aimed at reuniting separated families and related archives and the mountain fortress of Namhansanseong. The President next proceeded to explain her intention to create an international peace park at the DMZ. Noting UNESCO's extensive contributions to promoting a culture of peace around the world, she said she hoped the organization would take a special interest in the project.

Director-General Bokova replied by noting that Korea is a case in point of a country that has successfully risen out of war and poverty. On the strength of its soft power in particular, added Ms Bokova, Korea would play an important role in enhancing peace around the world, and UNESCO would offer its active cooperation to this end. She continued by saying that UNESCO is working actively for the protection of Korea's cultural heritage and would continue to do so in the future and assured the President of UNESCO's cooperation for the success of the 2015 World Water Forum and the World Education Forum.

Because of social media, our media consumption behaviour changes significantly, especially millennials, whose interest is hugely driven by amazing visual content. As copy writers (we somehow are all copywriters on social), we definitely want to avoid the TL;DR (Too Long, Didn't Read) situation.
Copy now has become an enhancer – a critical element that helps enhance our visual story telling, i.e. visual content is king but copy provides the context, which however will be omitted if it cannot be consumed within secs. A poor lengthy copy makes people lose interest, causing us missing the chance to communicate the story and more importantly it diminishes the value of the visual content at the same time.
So let's keep this in mind – 'SCR'…'Short Copy Rocks'.

As I've stated before, a lot of people cannot physically and mentally handle working a full time job AND going to school full time. As a result, choosing between an education and being able to take care of yourself, financially.
The people that choose to get an education, often find themselves in a place that causes depression, anxiety, and constantly asking themselves if they made the right decision.
As if that stress wasn't enough, assignments, midterms, exams, and finals all pile up at once, and it makes the experience of going to school a grim one.
Those folks will probably experience one of these throughout their schooling:
- Those who think asking for help shows signs of weakness and it hurts their pride.
- Those who are afraid of rejection, so they sit and wallow about the fact that they are poor and don't do anything to fix it.
- Those who want to ask someone for help, but aren't sure how to go about asking respectfully.
If you identify with one of these three descriptions, I promise, you will not be drowning in debt forever.
There are simple ways to go about asking for help, without making you or the other person uncomfortable.
Our friends at eHowwrote up an article which perfectly describes the appropriate process of asking someone for financial help in four easy steps.
- Make sure you clearly state the reason why you REALLY need the money. Whether it be for rent, paying off your car, or simply to live off of until you get your feet on the ground, people and businesses will get a better understanding of how much you need the money.
- Remember that not everyone you go to will be able to help you, so don't let your current financial situation make you an angry person. Staying humble, being appreciative for even listening to your story, and not making people feel bad for you will help you out in the long run.
- Being able to explain that you have a plan to change how you're currently living is something that people will not only respect, but they will also see that you're going in one direction, and that's up!
- This might be the most important step in the process. Express to them how thankful you are they want to and are willing to help you. Even if they can't help, the fact that they want to is something to be grateful for. Sending thank you notes is ALWAYS a simple and nice way to make people know that you do care about them.
Please, don't be afraid to ask for help. It could come from someone you least expect!

With an incredible past, the Bass Rock has played a key role throughout the history of Scotland. A religious retreat during the early years of Christianity. A fortress and prison in the age of the Covenanters and Jacobites. A strategic stronghold during the times of the Scottish and English wars. Notably it has been owned by the Hamilton-Dalrymple family for the last 300 years.
Visible from road or sea this iconic landmark on the outer edge of the Firth of Forth is simply breath-taking as it gleams in the summer sun.
Approaching the rock, you realise the dazzling white covering this Rock is not guano but a hub of life, as over 150,000 gannets occupy virtually every suitable nesting site.
The airspace is alive as they soar overhead; some just swirling in extending columns using the thermals, others with offerings of seaweed or plastic, even netting hanging from their bill for their continuous nest building. Your senses are bombarded with the sights, the sound, and the very distinctive 'eau de gannet'. Shags, Guillemot, Razorbill, Kittiwake and the occasional Puffin also share the niches and cliffs during breeding time.
