St Kilda:
St Kilda is an inner suburb (neighbourhood) of the metropolitan area of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 6 km south-east of Melbourne's Central Business District. Its local government area is the City of Port Phillip. At the 2011 Census, St Kilda had a population of 17,795.
St Kilda was named after a schooner, Lady of St Kilda (which moored at the main beach for much of 1841) by Charles La Trobe, and the ship's master and early settler Lieutenant James Ross Lawrence.
During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, St Kilda became a favoured suburb of Melbourne's elite, and many palatial mansions were constructed along its hills and waterfront. Shortly after the turn of the 20th century, St Kilda served a similar function for Melburnians as did Coney Island to the residents of New York City and its history draws an interesting parallel.Densely populated postwar St Kilda became Melbourne's red-light district, home to low-cost rooming houses. Since the late 1960s, St Kilda has become known for its culture of bohemianism and as home to many prominent artists, musicians and subcultures, including punk[4] and LGBT[citation needed]. While some of these groups still maintain a presence in St Kilda, in recent years the district has experienced rapid gentrification pushing many lower socio-economic groups out to other areas.
St Kilda is home to many of Melbourne's famous visitor attractions including Luna Park, the Esplanade Hotel, Acland Street and Fitzroy Street. It is home to St Kilda Beach, Melbourne's most famous beach, several renowned theatres and several of Melbourne's big events and festivals.

"There are thoughts which are prayers.
There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul it on its knees."
-Victor Hugo
I sometimes wish I was Catholic. In a Jewish service, when something really important is being said, we stand rather than kneel. But there are times when kneeling is the only thing that feels appropriate; where the sheer weight of your prayers feels as though it will drive you into the ground.
I'm on the brink of possibly achieving something I've waited many years for: A job that would merge my professional experience with my much-loved freelance work. The possibility of this job even arising was slim – due to the very focused nature of my freelance work, there is only one company in the US I could work for and merge these two things.
Yesterday I had a talk with the owner of the company. He wants me to fly out to meet him next week. And to raise the bar, the firm is located in one of the few places I know that is probably urban enough for me and rural enough for my husband.
It all sounds wonderful. Except (1) we haven't discussed salary at all, not even in a vague range and he has no idea what I currently make. And as this job isn't posted anywhere, I can't rely on an ad or online blurb. Honestly, that isn't really the issue right now. If we get to the point of an offer and it's too little, than the path is clear.
The real issue is this. My only clear chance for IVF is to stay in NYS and wait for the budget to be signed so that the IVF grant funds are released. There is little to no chance of us ever affording it any other way and as I'll be 43 in August, it's now or never.
It's possible that the firm's insurance covers infertility (and I've asked the one person I know there to look into it for me). But the clinics there have horrible success rates with women over 40. So my next hope would have to be that (1) they have insurance that covers IVF that (2) my current clinic accepts and that (3) they'd be understanding enough to give me the time to come back here for the cycle.
That's a lot of ifs.
When I look back on my life, I see a number of things I've lost: relationships, jobs, people, apartments, etc….and more often than not, I see why not having those things made my life better in some ways. Two years ago, for instance, I lost a job that I desperately needed (and in some ways wanted) through a series of miscommunications on the part of the company's HR department. The next month I found the job I'm currently in, which I love, which paid more and which as given me a million more perks of all kinds.
I usually believe that things work out for the best. I just don't understand why they have to be so difficult in the meantime. I've had a fair amount of success with just leaping and expecting the net to appear. But this feels like too much of a choice at the moment – as if I'm being asked to select the course for the rest of my life and I'm just not ready to think that I can't have a job that I love, somewhere that my husband and I both like, with a child. My thoughts are prayers and I wait to see if they'll be answered.

I designed the outfit myself and although I was very apprehensive on wearing white, I think they outfit turned out perfect! I had kundan (mirrored stones) work done on the border and every time I wear this outfit, people literally stop me to ask me where I got it from.
It's definitely something very different. Nowadays we are lucky that in Pakistani fashion you can wear anything you want, as everything is in style; from long shirts to short, from loose pants to skinny.
We would love to hear about some of your creations!

Why hassle with getting your garments dry wiped clean when you'll be able to simply put on the dry cleansing bag?
Back in February, Moschino debuted a trash-inspired assortment that incorporated a get dressed that appears like a clear garment bag. Now, that cheeky get dressed is at the retail marketplace and can also be yours for a modest $736.
The "cape sheer overlay dress" is produced from polyester, in line with its product list at U.Okay. type store Browns. The "plastic bag" of the get dressed is outlined with "Free pick up and delivery" textual content down the entrance and "We ♥ our customers" is outlined around the paper-look neckline.
The get dressed retails for $736 on Browns, which ships globally. It doesn't include a slip, on the other hand, so layering is a will have to if you happen to don't wish to divulge all.
Here's what it seems like by itself, and the way Moschino despatched it down the runway.

Sex trafficking, sex exploitation, modern-day slavery…are the latest "buzz" words often used by advocates, government officials and media. If you say these buzz words to someone, it may instill a sense of anger and disgust towards the perpetrators, compassion towards the victims, a desire for justice, the impetus to learn more…
But when the term prostitution is used, there may be a completely different reaction – a reaction of complacency, disgust towards the prostitutes themselves, the rationale that individuals made a voluntary choice to engage in prostitution, the notion that a victim does not exist in prostitution…
In actuality, we are of the view that sex trafficking and sex exploitation are unequivocally linked to the oldest form of oppression in the world – Prostitution.
Prostitution is at the core of modern-day sex slavery. It provides the fuel for the supply and demand of sex tourism, sex trafficking, sexual exploitation and sex bondage/slavery.
ALL human life is precious and valuable, no matter what race, gender, age, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, etc…
It is time for a paradigm shift in society's perception and views towards those who find themselves destitute in prostitution.
It is a time where we promote human sustainability equally – to all and for all.
We are at a critical point in Canada where our own Prostitution Laws are "held hostage", if you will, by a constitutional challenge. Learn more about Prostitution and Prostitution in Canada in our Prostitution – Towards a Paradigm Shift section, from our At a Glance section and in our Resources section.
Together, we are the change.
Together, are moving towards a paradigm shift in the way Prostitution is perceived by many.
Together, we will lift up those who have fallen victim to sexual oppression towards liberty and equality.

Dalai Lama with Marco Pannella
Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama.
Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso' (born Llhamo Döndrub (Tibetan: ལ; Wylie: Lha-mo Don-'grub) 6 July 1935 in Qinghai [1]), is the 14th and current Dalai Lama.[2] The Dalai Lama is a revered spiritual leader among Tibetans and exerts a powerful influence over the the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism. He is head of the Tibetan Government in Exile in Dharamsala, India[3][4][5] A Nobel Peace Prize laureate, he is also the world's best-known Buddhist monk.
Gyatso was the fifth of 16 children born to a farming family in the village of Taktser, Qinghai province [1] where he learned the Amdo dialect of Tibetan as his first language.[6][7] He was proclaimed the tulku (rebirth) of the thirteenth Dalai Lama two years after he was born. On 17 November 1950, at the age of fifteen, he was enthroned as Tibet's Dalai Lama, thus becoming Tibet's most important political ruler. This occurred only one month after the People's Liberation Army's invasion of Tibet.
After initially ratifying, under military pressure, the 1951 Seventeen Point Agreement, he left Tibet for India following the failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959. In India he was active in establishing the Tibetan Government in Exile and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.[8]
Tenzin Gyatso is described as a "charismatic" figure[6][9] and noted public speaker. He is the first Dalai Lama to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Tibetan Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989,[6][10] honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.[11] (from wikipedia)
Marco Pannella
Pannella was born at Teramo (Abruzzi) from an Italian father and a Swiss mother on May 2, 1930. He is member of the European Parliament and President of the Nonviolent Radical Party.
At the age of 20, Marco Pannella was a national representative at the university level for the Italian Liberal Party (PLI), member of the student association Unione goliardica Italiana (UGI) and at 23 he was President of the Unione nazionale degli studenti, UNURI (National Union of Students).
At 24 he promoted the foundation of the Partito Radicale (hereinafter the "Radical Party"). From 1960 to 1963, he was in Paris as a correspondent of the Italian newspaper "Il Giorno". In his political career, Mr. Pannella co-founded a series of organizations such as the Italian league for divorce, the League for objection of conscience, the League for the abrogation of the Agreement between the Catholic Church and the Italian State (Concordato), the Centre of legal initiative "Pietro Calamandrei", as well as the Italian Association for Demographic Education (AIED). He has been at the forefront of the promotion important reforms regarding narcotics, facing incarceration on various occasions for his civil disobediences. He played a prominent role in the pro-choice movement in Italy that led to the legalization of abortion in the early 1980s. He also promoted actions to grant electoral rights for Italians aged 18.
Engaged in the defence of civil rights in Eastern European countries, in 1968, he was arrested in Sofia for having distributed leaflets against the Communist regime. He is one of the first promoters and founders of the "Green" and "ecologist" political movements in Europe.
Over the years, he has been engaged in Italy in the defence of civil rights as well as against the public financing of political parties and against corruption of Italian politics. Since the 1970s, Mr. Pannella has promoted a series of referendums on themes ranging from social to political issues, in particular on those relating to the legality of the State, the rule of law and to the administration of justice.
Throughout the 1980s, he promoted international anti-prohibitionist campaigns on drugs and was one of the founders of the Radical Antiprohibitionist Coordination (CORA) and of the International Antiprohibitionist League.
A believer in Gandhian nonviolence, Mr. Pannella has carried out several hunger strikes in Italy and elsewhere to defend civil rights and to end extermination through starvation the world over. Pannella is currently on a hunger stike, to protest against the death penalty. His strike was set off by the hanging of Saddam Hussein[1].
A disciple of Altiero Spinelli and Ernesto Rossi, Mr. Pannella was one of the first European Federalists and fought, through nonviolent means, for the creation of the European Union.
He was elected Secretary of the Radical Party in November 1981 and remained in office until November 1983. At the RP Congress in Budapest in 1989, he launched the creation of the Transnational Radical Party of which he became president of the Federal Council on that occasion.
He is honorary President of the Party of the Rom (ROI) in the Czech Republic and he is also honorary member of the Socialist Slovene Youth. The Jewish National Fund (Hebrew: קרן קימת לישראל, Keren Kayemet LeYisrael) dedicated him a reforestation area in the desert of Negev in Israel. (from Wikipedia)

I'd been hoping all week that I was going to be rested and ready to return and unfortunately, it wasn't to this AM when I started feeling "better". It was -2 today and felt like -12, so you know what that means…. I'd be spending today's run with my BF the treadmill and honestly after not running for almost a full week, I was totally ok with that.
My plan was to hit up Target for some groceries and then hop over to the gym because they are literally across the highway from one another. So I pulled myself together and headed to Target to get some groceries. As soon as I walk in I hear this guy behind me saying hello to everyone. At first I thought he worked there, but he wasn't in the Target-Khaki and Red. But I heard him saying "hello" to literally everyone he saw, he even would go out of his way to say hello to some people. I was totally weirded out by the situation. I was like, "wtf is happening? what is he doing?" So I made sure to stay many paces behind him because I didn't know his next move and I wanted to be on the safe side. One customer asked a worker about him and they said " oh he is fine, he comes in about once a week and says hello to everyone". I could see that I was not alone in being weirded out. I let him disappear from sight and finished my shopping. I headed over to my gym, got ready and hopped on my treadmill. I was super siked to finally get something in… when I seen him stopping by machines and those lifting weights to say "hello". My anxiety shot through the roof, because I thought I had successfully dodged a bullet. There was no hiding in bedding or in the toy isle, it was going to happen, he had already spotted me…and I was going to have to say hello back. And about 1.5 miles in he forced me to make eye contact and said hello. I'm not a horrible person so of course I said hello back but it just really through me off. And like Target people were kind of wierded out by him. He's not aggressive and I guess he really is just a nice, happy person. My coach told me to do 4-6 miles and not to go any faster that 8 minute pace and I was more than happy to oblige because after not running all week 4 miles felt.like.hell. But it's done and it's a step in the right direction…. I hope.
On my drive home, I got to thinking about what my problem was with this poor guy?! He was doing nothing wrong, just being friendly and the world (including myself) was completely freaked out by him. Has our society really come to this?! Where saying hello makes you a "weirdo"?! As I write this, I feel like a horrible person. Maybe we could all learn something from the guy who wears rose colored glasses and says hello to everyone they meet. Maybe the world would be a better place if we were all willing to simply say hello… I think that maybe somewhere in the middle is good…. I kind of hope I run into him again, I know that next time I definitely won't run and hide in the doll isle and maybe, just maybe I will say hello first.
Sunday is long run day and Super Bowl Sunday….What are you doing for the Super Bowl?!
How do you come back and recover from the flu?

"Last year if we had failures it tended to collapse the tyre on to the rim so it still didn't look good. This year we are seeing the tread coming away so visually it looks rubbish. I don't like that."We're looking at it and seeing if there are things we can do to eliminate it."Pirelli has already been attacked this season for introducing new compounds that wear and lose performance quickly, the idea being to increase the number of pit stops to liven up the on-track action..However there have been a number of failures, including one sudden deflation that led to Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton collecting a penalty in Bahrain for an unscheduled gearbox change."The tyre was still inflated from what I could see," said Hembery of the latest incident. "The structure didn't give way and that's what we've seen in a few other cases, that the tread is overheating and coming away."

I bought this bling bracelet from H&M and shared it in my last blog. I wanted to recreate the colours on my nails.
It was kinda hard for me to recreate it on my nails since I didn't want to just use blings on my nails. I just wanted the colour. I also had a little amount of time to think of an idea to draw on my nails since I had an exam the day after. Heres what I came up with:
Colours you'll need:
Dark blue
Start of with painting your nails with the blue polish.
Dip a nail art brush (I bought mine from an arts and crafts store; size 00) in a purple polish and feather some lines upwards, make sure you don't cover the whole nail.
Then do the same with the green. Just make sure you don't hide the purple.
I did the opposite on my ring finger.
Add few randomly placed orange dots in your nails and that's it!
Don't forget to add a top coat!
Tip: coat your brush with vaseline to protect it from the nail polish.
I hope you liked it! I'll try to come up with a nail art tutorial each month, but I cant promise anything thoughh.

Pop punk band The Ataris will no longer be playing any Hits & Pits festival dates in Austrailia. Frontman Kris Roe's fear of flying is reportedly to blame for the cancellations. The band has not made a statement but their promoter Tom had this to say on their behalf.
"re: The Ataris in Australia
I don't particularly feel comfortable speaking for the band right now, but someones gotta say something. Point blank. The Ataris will not be performing on any dates of the Hits & Pits Festival 2.0 in Australia. I realize the rumors will start to swirl so here are the simple facts. Fact #1. It's very known amongst Ataris fans that Kristopher Roe of The Ataris has an extreme fear of flying. Fact #2. On Sunday night, his original flight out of LAX had engine failure and needed to return to LAX- everyone was safe. Fact #3. I have three members of The Ataris that are in Australia right now and we're working to get them home. Fact #4. Kristopher did not get on another plane to Australia.
Rumors are gonna fly, but at least above are things we can't debate right now. Here's the thing, and I wanted to be 100% clear, this has nothing to do with The Hits & Pits Festival… or their staff. In fact, I'm shocked at how calm Ben Neilson has been in trying to help us resolve this situation and also in regards to keeping the other three guys comfortable out there. For those that don't know, when touring Australia you fly show to show. Hits & Pits had arranged a way where Kris and the guys could travel show to show w/o getting on planes. Just unfortunately, now it's not happening. I realize fans are gonna be upset… but we're not taking this lightly. Lets all get home— we'll have our conversations— and then we'll figure out the best way to move forward.
That's it.
-the guy that books the shows"
The Ataris have previously announced plans to release a new record called "The Graveyard of the Atlantic", but no further information has been provided.

Proceedings PaperAnswer to the dynamic (fretting effect) and static (oxide) behavior of electric contact surfaces: based on a five-year infrared thermographic study
|Member Price
|Non-Member Price
Paper Abstract
This paper describes the results of a five-year study carried out in 38 power substations (230, 115, 34.5 and 13.8 Kv), located in the Western power electric system of CADAFE (Venezuela's national Electric Utility). A total of 154 hot spots were found between 1980 and 1982, a time span considered a reliable source of information in connection with methodology, term and results. The distribution of hot spots found during those years was 77, 33 and 44. The reduction of the spot/substation parameter was found to be 4.1, 3.3 and 3.1, respectively. Every item detected could have been the cause of major interruptions, locally and regionally, or even the system's blackout. The methodology used to determine the major concentration of findings and their location on the equipment, followed the sequence of Pareto's Diagram and Ishikawa's Graphic. Based on the results of the study whose results are presented here, a lubricant and compound-aid connector for Al-Al and bimetallic electric connections was formulated, developed, manufactured, tested (at IREQ laboratories) and traded (CONECTECH CAC- 01). To date, the whole process represents 12 years of work. The connector's behavior and reliability are being tested throughout Venezuela's national electric system (responsible for the supply of around 50,000 Gwh/year) with the use of 12 Tons of CONECTECH CAC-01.

Drug testing by employers in Idaho is governed by these state rules.
The Idaho Private Employer Alcohol and Drug-Free Workplace Act establishes voluntary drug and alcohol testing guidelines for private employers, although the state of Idaho and its political subdivisions may also conduct drug and alcohol testing of employees under the law.
It is lawful for a private employer to test employees or prospective employees for the presence of drugs or alcohol as a condition of hiring or continued employment, provided the testing requirements and procedures are in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
For each policy of worker's compensation insurance issued or renewed in Idaho, a reduction in the premium for the policy may be granted if the insurer determines the insured has established and maintains an alcohol and drug-free workplace program that complies with the requirements of the Idaho Private Employer Alcohol and Drug-Free Workplace Act.
Any testing for the presence of drugs or alcohol by a private employer must be carried out within the terms of a written policy that has been communicated to affected employees, and is available for review by prospective employees.
The private employer must list the types of tests an employee may be subject to in its written policy, which may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Report Child Abuse
Call Child Helpline at
or email us / call us for support at
We find the programme very very useful because it kind of broke a lot of myths. Also, probably helped children clarify doubts they had in their minds. These workshops opened the minds of the teachers and they also realised that it was important for them to discuss it in class if there is an issue, rather than not answer the queries of the children.
Its our responsibility to provide a secure environment for our children and understand the difference between unsafe and safe touch. As parents our role does not end in deciding what they want to study or what they want to do.
Child molestation and sexual abuse is a serious societal malice today because unless we protect our children and give them a life they deserve, we will be destroying our society.
There is a deep concern for child safety and there is a need for people to work on setting up child health and safety standards so that there will be a code by which it will be measured and a code by which they could follow and set in place processes so they reduce any adverse impact it will have on children.
Enfold has been consistently working with all these groups to ensure that children are safe from sexual Abuse. We have to break the silence to stop the violence and that?s exactly what Enfold is doing.

Can We Build Indoor 'Vertical Farms' Near The World's Major Cities? (vox.com) 255
The plants receive no sunlight, just light from hanging LED lamps. There are thousands of infrared cameras and sensors covering everything, taking fine measurements of temperature, moisture, and plant growth; the data is used by agronomists and artificial intelligence nerds to fine-tune the system... There are virtually no pests in a controlled indoor environment, so Plenty doesn't have to use any pesticides or herbicides; it gets by with a few ladybugs... Relative to conventional agriculture, Plenty says that it can get as much as 350 times the produce out of a given acre of land, using 1 percent as much water.
Though it may use less water and power, to be competitive with traditional farms companies like Plenty will also have to be "even better at reducing the need for human planters and harvesters," the article warns.
"In other words, to compete, it's going to have to create as few jobs as possible."

Sulu's First Lady Nurunisah Tan gives Vitamin A to a child as Dr Farah Omar, the provincial health officer, looks on during a medical mission in the town of Patikul. US and Philippine troops begin a two-week medical and humanitarian mission in Sulu province, Philippine Army commander Maj. Gen. Ruben Rafael says Saturday, February 16, 2008. (Mindanao Examiner Photo)
SULU, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / Feb. 16, 2008) – Filipino and American soldiers have began a joint medical mission on a remote Muslim island off Sulu province ahead of a larger outreach mission in Mindanao in southern Philippines, officials said Saturday.
More two dozen soldiers from both countries and local dentists and dozens of volunteer health workers also helped in the medical mission. More than 1,000 people in Siasi town benefited from the humanitarian mission. It is part of the Balikatan 2008, which means "shoulder-to-shoulder," an annual Philippine and US bilateral military humanitarian assistance and training activity.
About 600 US troops will work with civilian authorities and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in various humanitarian projects that include free medical, dental and veterinary care in Sulu province and also in other parts of Mindanao where there are large Muslim communities.
The soldiers will also build schools and other community infrastructures in those areas.
"The medical mission in Siasi is successful and is only one of many that Philippine and US troops will undertake together with local health workers and government agencies in the coming days. We are happy with the result of the medical outreach in Siasi," Philippine Army Major General Ruben Rafael, commander of the Joint Task Force Comet in Sulu province, told the Mindanao Examiner.
He said the town's mayor Arthur Muksan led local officials in welcoming the soldiers and others involved in the medical mission. "The support of the locals is overwhelming,' Rafael said.
He said more than 500 people were given medical attention and treatment in Siasi, including some 200 children, many of them suffering from respiratory diseases. They also conducted dental and minor surgeries on some 150 villagers and ophthalmology services to over 150 people in the area.
The two-week joint RP-US humanitarian and medical missions will formally begin on Monday.
Sulu Governor Sakur Tan said the humanitarian mission will help many poor families in the province. "These humanitarian undertakings will help a lot of people and we are supporting these efforts and we appreciate what the United States is doing in Sulu," he said.
US Ambassador Kristie Kenney said the humanitarian assistance and training activities enable the soldiers to get to know each other, train together, and provide assistance in communities where the need is greatest.
"True to the meaning of the word Balikatan, Americans and Filipinos are shouldering the load together to help the greatest possible number of people in need," she said.
While US and Filipino troops focus on humanitarian activities in Sulu and Mindanao, others participating in the Balikatan 2008 will conduct combined staff exercises and field training in Luzon and Palawan islands to improve contingency planning and strengthen maritime security.
Balikatan 2008 will be the 24th annual event of its kind held under the auspices of the Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) and Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA).
In 2006, the United States Navy hospital ship Mercy had treated more than 60,000 mostly poor Filipino patients in separate medical missions in Sulu, Basilan and Tawi-Tawi islands, including Zamboanga City, as part of the Project Bayanihan.
It was also in 2002 that the U.S. committed 1,300 troops, mostly Special Forces, to the Philippines under the Joint Special Operations Task Force–Philippines (JSOTF-P) and $93 million in military aid to assist the Arroyo government defeat the local terror group called the Abu Sayyaf in the so-called "Operation Enduring Freedom–Philippines".
The codename was originally from the "Operation Enduring Freedom", the official name used by the US government for its military response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States. It was previously planned to have been called "Operation Infinite Justice."
Operation Enduring Freedom–Philippines was later renamed "Oplan: Balikatan". The US troops provided anti-terrorism trainings and supplied intelligence to the Philippine military from 2002 up to now that led to the killings of many known Abu Sayyaf leaders, including its chieftain Khadaffy Janjalani in 2006.
Philippine and U.S. authorities linked the Abu Sayyaf to the spate of bombings in Mindanao and Sulu, including executions of civilians and kidnappings for ransom to raise fund and support its terror campaign.
The Abu Sayyaf, which means "Bearer of the Sword", has pillaged small towns, bombed passenger ships, commuter buses, Catholic churches and public places, including malls and department stores and killed hundreds of innocent people since the time it was founded in the early 1990s.

Roasted Sweet Potato Red Wine Risotto
(Recipe by Miranda Mowbray, Biting Life)
Ingredients (serves four):
1 small onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
canola oil
1 1/2 cups uncooked arborio rice
1/2 cup red wine (optional)
2-3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 extra large sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
cayenne pepper
1/4 cup fat-free half and half
2 cups spinach, de-stemmed and chopped
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 425˚.
Sauté onions and garlic with canola oil in sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Meanwhile, toss sweet potato with olive oil, salt, pepper, a dash of cayenne pepper, and paprika.
Pour sweet potato onto a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until fully-cooked and crispy on the outside.
Add arborio rice and red wine to the onion mixture; stir to combine (if omitting the wine, add 1/2 cup chicken stock).
When the rice has mostly absorbed the wine, add 2/3 cup chicken stock; stir.
Add more chicken stock once the rice has absorbed the liquid. Keep occasionally adding chicken stock and stirring, until almost fully cooked (will take about 25 minutes).
Meanwhile, once sweet potato is done, remove from oven and put into a blender/food processor.
Combine sweet potato with half and half until a thick sauce is made.
When the rice is almost done cooking, add the sweet potato sauce and let the risotto absorb some of it.
When the rice is fully cooked, turn off heat and stir in the spinach and cheese until the cheese is melted.
Add more spices, if necessary.

I have been asked by many a students about what is the best method to choose marketing management research topics. In my opinion, there is no right or wrong when it comes to choosing the best possible topic for your marketing dissertation. A method that works for you may not work for the others.
And therefore it is vitally important to focus on finding the topic rather than winning about the method of finding. On the internet, if you use the right keyword terms in Google and other search engines, you can find long list of current and interesting dissertation topics in marketing.
However, the choice of best research topics in marketing depends on many other factors such as your academic level, the background and research area of your supervisor, and the type of research you wish to base your dissertation on. Most undergraduate students choose a research question that is not too hard to address.
Graduate or Master's students on the other hand have to choose a topic that results in adding value to the existing literature. If you are a graduate student then before doing anything else you should determine your own preferred area of study and then identify some research gaps to fill through your research project.
Similarly, the background and expertise of your supervisor should never be overlooked. You should visit your university's website and then search for your supervisor's profile. Scan through the profile to identify their research interests and the research projects they have completed individually or as a member of research group. Make sure to base your topic on the research interests of your supervisor so they can provide you the best possible guidance throughout the dissertation writing process. Relevant and manageable research topics for phd in marketing management can be even harder to find because it is important to make sure that the chosen topic in neither too broad or too narrow for the researcher.
Finally, the type of research you wish to carry out also contribute toward the dissertation topic selection. If you intend to conduct primary research as part of your dissertation project then you should clearly identity the gap in available knowledge and then try to fill that gap using the results you obtain from empirical data. On the other hand, secondary research based dissertations generally make use of the existing literature and therefore the research topic should be closely similar to the existing literature.

After skipping out on a New Year's Eve gig back in '08, Ne-Yo now owes a Baltimore club promoter an apology that's worth $196,000.
Remember that New Year's Eve gig Ne-Yo was supposed to perform at back in 2008, but decided to just skip out on it? The problem is, contracts were in place, as well as a $95,000 deposit shelled out to him. Ne-Yo kept the deposit, and was a no-show for the event. This past Tuesday, a judge ordered him to pay up:
Anne Arundel County Circuit Judge Philip Caroom ordered the payment Tuesday after a four-day trial in late July and early August.
Promoter Kenyohn Clark sued Ne-Yo, whose real name is Shaffer Smith, and Maryland-based promoter Mike Esterman. The judge ruled in favor of Clark, who claimed that Esterman misled him and failed to return a $95,000 deposit.
Court documents show Ne-Yo testified at trial that he knew in his "heart of hearts" that the deposit should have been returned to Clark.

The morning was colder than the day before but the sun still shone as we watched the kayakers float away from the beach. Kirstin and I, our driver Bern, the German and the Tahitian where the only ones left, the others opting to pay extra to ride upon the waves to another Coromandel highlight: Cathedral Cove.
It was a long walk to the cove, a forty minute hike up and down through the bush and a WWI memorial forest to the coast. The sun moved in and out from beneath the clouds as the gravel of the path crunched beneath our feet. We strode mostly in silence, the German struggling to make conversation with his limited English.
Tourists began to pop up around us the closer we got, and when we finally made it down to the beach, they littered the sand with their cameras and hiking boots. Kristen and I took off our shoes and wondered through the cave and past the monstrous stones that dominated the shore. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian had capitalized on the natural beauty of this landscape, furthering the impression that New Zealand lives just outside of reality, a place so stunning that it bleeds into the realm of fantasy. It's easy to see why…
My feet chilled in the cold sand as the violently bright sun peaked through the clouds and the sea splashed upon the shore. I spent a while trying to capture the beauty of those blues and the tans, before I ended up sitting upon a rock, playing with the sand and watching the ocean glimmer in the light. My mind drifted upon those waters and I quickly lost track of time.
Somehow we all came together again and collectively, wordlessly agreed to go. After the steep trek back, we picked up the kayakers from the other beach and zoomed into town to grab some lunch. It was fish and chips again, this time at a roadside stand in the darkening sky. The wind was picking up and clouds were rolling in, but Bern had promised two more memorable sights.
It was getting quite chilly by the time we arrived at Waiau Falls. In the end, only two of us were brave enough to jump into the near-polar waters: one of the French and the Tahitian. They both cried out in shock when they leaped in, inciting laughter from the rest of our group and the few other tourists that stood on the rocks surrounding the waterfall. Bern tried to get more of us to go in, but there was no way we were going to join the now shivering jumpers. We were all quick to hop back into the bus.
"Are we going to see the pigs now?" Kirsten asked once we got rolling.
The day before, Bern has described, in detail, the "pig man" that lives alongside one of the country roads in Coromandel. Like an old lady feeding stray cats, this man, Stu, cares for hundreds of wild pigs on a field next to the forest. Stu himself lives in a shack and survives on the government dole while he dutifully looks out for his squeaky little friends, feeding them donated food scraps and love.
Desperate to hold a piglet, Kirsten and the French girls were eager to meet this Stu and his swine. So we drove up to his lot on the side of the road and encountered roosters and pigs roaming around moldering cars and rusting farm equipment. A barefoot man in a baggy, patched jumper, the famed Stu greeted us with a smile and a wave. For a moment, we all just stood there, unable to register the crowd of animals parading around the greenery and urban decay. It was such an odd sight in the middle of the beauty of Coromandel, almost unreal. Yet somehow it seemed fitting in a strangely fantastical way.
Kirsten squealed when a litter of piglets ran across our vision and soon we had ducked underneath the wire fence to get a better look. The French girls and a few of the others meandered about, chatting with Stu, taking selfies with pigs, and chasing after piglets.
Clouds capped off the sunlight as I did my own exploring, hoping to capture the peculiar essence of the place with my camera. A male pig came up to me during the course of my photo sojourn. He even lay down at my feet and rubbed my leg like a cat, begging to be pet. I laughed, stroked his course fur, and watched as Kirsten squealed again when she and the others finally got to hold piglet. The only thing that tore Kirsten away was the rain that started to drip from the sky.
All we had left now was to start the journey back to Auckland. But before we did, Bern made one last stop. Up upon the top of a hill, overlooking the stormy Coromandel on the right and the intensely sunny Hauraki Gulf on the left, we paused to take pictures and spot the Auckland SkyTower off in the hazy distance. Once again the fantastic beauty of the landscape hit me as our collection of international travelers took our group photo. I turned to Kirsten. This was the last time we would be traveling together in New Zealand. It all didn't seem quiet real.

Justine, after 5 months...
Wow, I've been stitching this daily for 5 months!! I'm a slow, inefficient stitcher, and it's a big chart ... but I'm making progress! I absolutely love this pattern.
I do regret, though, sticking with linen floss for the blue color. My only option was a light baby blue, and I know it would look better with something like a deep turquoise. Oh, well, c'est la vie!

7: Masculine Influence – A painful awakening; release of old ways & ideas that no longer serve; moving toward higher goals
Beginning a path to recovering your inner fire & restoration of creative drive. This is a good week for material pursuits as they are likely to be rewarding. Finding emotional stability in family & community; letting the purity your insight guide you. Someone is using their intellectual powers with cruel intentions, perhaps against you. The feminine influence shows a return to reality & taking steps to reclaim truth. The masculine influence is similar to the feminine, but is more painful of a turning point to move toward greater meaning.
The Devil: Temptation
Temptation & false relationships. Solutions turn sour. Bad outcomes are probable. Feeling of hopelessness pervading everything. Many difficulties arise & are welcome as challenges at first. Chained to hollow pain & pleasure.

Dealing with these guys (and gals) has always been a big problem – for me, and lots of other people.
I was just talking to a young man. whose mother is going through a severe mental crisis – and not the first one. He was not coping with this very well – and didn't seem to realize that his mother had severe mental and emotional problems.
When dealing with this problem, the first step, and the hardest – is recognizing that the problem exists. That there are bad people – and they are often in positions of power. Mothers, fathers. and heads of states, for example. And some people can be a mixture of good and bad – depending on the situation. They all want to stay in power.
To cope with this, every one of us has to rely on his own resources. That fortunately for us – are built into us from an early age. We all have bullshit detectors in our guts, that work fairly well. All we have to do is pay attention to them.
But, as Karl Popper has pointed out, Philosophers such as Plato want us to ignore our gut responses, and rely on abstract reasoning. Not a good solution either. We need all our resources, and we have to use them together.
This is hard, when you need a job, and the people who have these jobs – are not the best of people. I couldn't cope with this, and I don't know anyone who has.

But Dr. King is just so slimming!
Ehhhhh, I guess this means we've finally reached racial harmony when capitalism will try to thoughtlessly gobble up anybody's legacy?
If you'll notice the advertisement above, a Laguna Beach surf shop had a Martin Luther King Jr. Day sale where everything black was 20% off. Now it's okay to sell stupid crap on Washington/Lincoln's birthdays because, hey, who the fuck knows who those guys were, but MLK? And everything black? Something tells me having your head slammed into sand over and over again as you surf does not breed the most attuned sense of racial awareness.
I also think it's pretty darn funny that the name of the sale is "Respect" as the promotion itself is pretty crude.
Perhaps were MLK French ("I have a dream zat my four leettle cheeldren will one day leeve in a nation where zey are guaranteed 7 weeks paid vacation!) and wearing all black anyway, this wouldn't have been so ill-advised. See this is why they need more Black people in surfing….

A New Way to Shoot

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

New photography teacher, Mrs. Fisher, has put a spin on the art science of taking photos. For the first two weeks of school, she has instructed her students not just how to use a camera, but how to make one.
With the help of a template, students were given pieces of cardboard, a box cutting knife, black electrical tape, and a single piece of foil to fashion a light-proof box that could be utilized as a manual camera.
"Photography is a very simple concept. If we start with a lot of expensive equipment and fancy lenses, we lose the idea of how light is actually working and affecting things. I wanted to go back to super basic so we remember what's the simple concept of photography and how light is working," explained Mrs. Fisher.
To take photos with these handmade cameras, students use photo paper as they would to develop film from a film camera. After light exposure through a small pinhole in the box, the photo can be developed in the darkroom through the same process after one would develop a picture from film.
"I think [taking pictures with the cardboard camera] is really fun because it's a good way to learn how cameras actually work, even though it is kind of hard and takes a good amount of work," said Drew McGinty ('18).
This project has put a profound twist on taking photos and seems to be changing the perspectives of many students in how they view the art of photography.
"Building the box camera correctly was much harder than I expected. It takes a lot of time and effort, but it really makes you appreciate the creative process," stated Trevor Wallace ('18).
Through completing this project Mrs. Fisher encourages her students to "keep it simple, keep it real, and to keep looking around at the world."

We all take photos at some point in our lives. A casual selfie, a scenic view or maybe the occasional family photo.
What constantly plagues these wonderful photos we all take is glare and reflection. Be if from a pair of eyeglasses, a pair of drinking glasses, a mirror or a window between you and your subject, glare and reflection seems to find its way into even the most perfectly lit pictures.
A team at MIT has managed to modify a Kinect, a 3D sensor that uses multiple cameras to capture movement for gameplay and recreation, created by Microsoft for the Xbox and Windows PC's, to reduce and even eliminate glare in photos.

VoIP is voice over internet protocol. It is a technology that you can use telephone calls through internet rather than the traditional telephone call. It is a solver for you who have office or offices that needs telephone call for daily deal. We all know that the bill of the telephone can be so much expensive. With hosted VoIP you can even decrease your expanses. It is a technology era where all the things use internet starting from messaging, calling, shopping and anything that cannot be mentioned. Of course it gives positive effect. But, you need to be careful and consider few things before you go on hosted voIP solutions.
Internet is really closed and correlated with the network. This network means the server or router, your computer connection and switches. You have to make sure that everything runs well to avoid reducing quality in taking calls through hosted VoIP. Reviewing the bandwidth and the ability in downloading and uploading is the next important thing to deal with. Because your office needs are not only calling; sending email and downloading attachment are also as important as the others, good and stable internet connection is urgently needed.
You might think that VoIP is inexpensive, but the lowest price doesn't give good services. It is a whole the world formula that you need to pay more to get more. It is also applied for provider. Choose the trustworthy and credible provider which is famous with their services and product. You can pick the middle one if you don't like the prestigious because of expensive cost. Yet, the important thing, don't take the lowest price. Before choosing the provider, you need to review their features and services through presentation. They will be pleased to be asked presenting their services. Don't be doubt to ask something which is unclear.

Crack Development in Ternary Mix Concrete Utilizing Various Saw Depths (TR-587)
Project Status
Start Date: 03/01/2008
End Date: 02/28/2009
Principal Investigator(s)
- Wang Kejin (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Iowa Department of Transportation
- Iowa Highway Research Board
- Tech transfer summary: Effects of Early Entry Sawing on PCC Cracking (Feb 2009)
- Report: Crack Development in Ternary Mix Concrete Utilizing Various Saw Depths (Feb 2009)
About the Research
Early entry sawing applies sawing earlier and more shallowly than conventional sawing and is believed to increase sawing productivity and reduce the cost of the joint sawing operations. However, some early entry sawing joints (transverse joints) in Iowa were found to experience delayed cracking, sometimes up to 30 days. A concern is whether early entry sawing can lead to late-age random cracking. The present study investigated the effects of different sawing methods on random cracking in portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. The approach was to assess the cracking potential at sawing joints by measuring the strain development of the concrete at the joints using concrete embedment strain gages. Ten joints were made with the early entry sawing method to a depth of 1.5 in., and two strain gages were installed in each of the joints. Another ten joints were made with the conventional sawing method, five of which were sawed to a depth of one-third of the pavement thickness (3.3 in.), and the other five of which were sawed to a depth of one-quarter of the pavement thickness (2.5 in.). One strain gage was installed in each joint made using conventional sawing. In total, 30 strain gages were installed in 20 joints. The results from the present study indicate that all 30 joints cracked within 25 days after paving, though most joints made using early entry sawing cracked later than the joints made using conventional sawing. No random cracking was observed in the early entry sawing test sections two months after construction. Additionally, it was found that the strain gages used were capable of monitoring the deformations at the joints. The joint crack times (or crack initiation time) measured by the strain gages were generally consistent with the visual observations.

How to Make Glass Floating Wall Shelves How to Make Glass Floating Wall Shelves
Glass floating wall shelves are an ideal feature for the bathroom or kitchen. These attractive shelves appear to be touching the wall without any support. They can actually hold a great deal of weight, despite their looks.
Step 1 - Get the Glass
For this project, you will need to buy some specially created tempered glass panels. These panels should be custom made to perfectly fit the place you want them. You cannot cut or shape tempered glass once it has been made, so they will need to be an exact match from the moment they arrive. Tempered glass is stronger and more shatter-resistant than normal glass, so it is ideal for floating wall shelves.
Step 2 - Prepare the Wall
Once the glass has arrived, you can begin the preparations for fitting it to the wall. Some glass floating shelves are actually slotted into the wall. If you would like to do it this way, you will need to carve out a small area where each shelf will be positioned.
The simpler way to hang your shelves is with a cleat. Get a cleat of the right size for your shelf, and fit one to the wall with screws or nails and your drill. If you wish to install heavy objects on your glass, you should consider putting your shelves into a corner, where two lines of cleats can support the glass. Add several screws to the outside of your cleat.
Step 3 - Hanging the Glass
Apply a layer of glue to the back of the glass. You can then add a piece of thin wooden doweling if you prefer. If you are hanging your shelves in a bathroom or kitchen, you will need to ensure that the glue you use is water-resistant; otherwise it may come away after installation and allow the shelves to collapse.
After the glue has dried, you can make a few small holes along the dowel. These holes should correspond with the screws fitted into the cleat. Add another layer of glue to the wood and push this onto the screws supported by the cleat. Hold the shelf in place for several minutes, until the glue has solidified. (If you cannot hold it for that long, support the shelf with books or something similar.) Once the glue is dry, you can add more support to the shelf by placing a wooden block at the bottom of each shelf.

to the Knitting Ministry at my church to give to someone who is in need of comfort. I hope that they get a lift from the bright blue color. The crocheted loops on the bottom edge were much easier than I thought they would be and went very quickly. It was hard to get a good picture of the shawl. Maybe I should have made someone wear it and taken their picture in it.
I started a new knitting project, a Sari Silk scarf. I am making up the pattern as I go along and I tried to add some lace elements but you can't see them so I think that I am going to stick with a simple pattern and let the colors come alive. I plan on a long, relatively narrow (6 inches) scarf with fringe on the ends.
I also got yarn and a pattern in the mail from the Plimoth Plantation. I had signed up to be a volunteer knitter before Christmas and I got my yarn and glove pattern in the mail today. Now all I have to do is locate two sets of size two double pointed needles -- either that or finish my Bartholomew's Tantalizing Socks and take the needles from that project.

O.k. I've recently really got into logging into computers from other computers. I'm easily impressed but it means that you don't need to move keyboards or monitors – which is nice when you have limited amount of space. If you had a wireless connection you might not even need wires. I have a feeling that all this is what shrinks call displacement activity….
Anyway to remotely log into a Windows XP Professional box. Right Click on the "My Computer" icon and select the "Remote Tab" from then you follow a tedious list of menus to set the thing up.
Then if that works you can log in remotely….

Birthdays are amazing times! Since having cancer 3 years ago, I have really come to appreciate birthdays. What a wonderful way to mark the passage of another year filled with living! And this past year has been a good one – the kids have amazed me with their physical and intellectual growth, we have started decorating the house in a way that reflects who we are, I have spent time working on my physical fitness, and I have a great DH (you truly are great Dan!). I have enjoyed the company of kith and kin, and many online friends.
I received lots of wonderful thoughtful presents this year! We had a delicious supper out at a local pizza place that we had not tried before. I had the most amazing spinach and feta calzone. When we came home there was a wonderful cake that DH and the kids had specially made at Crazy Cakes! DH and the kids gave me A Gathering of Lace (which has so many gorgeous shawl patterns I don't know which to start first), the new Tolkein book, gorgeous purple laceweight yarn from Uruguay, and a Waterlily silk in Antique Rose!
I also belong to a birthday exchange within a Yahoo group – and I received some amazing gifts! This package arrived from Patti – she sent some Blue Moon Socks That Rock sock yarn and it is absolutely gorgeous! I cannot wait to try it on the wood sock needles she sent – and look at that sock pattern! Wow! Patti also stitched a beautiful scissors keep and included the blue scissors – and I do love blue 🙂 Add in some rubber ends for knitting needles and I am just tickled pink! Patti and I had been talking about the Blue Moon yarns earlier this year and I am so happy to have a skein in hand!! Thanks Patti 🙂
And this amazing package came from Britt! I absolutely adore the needlecase – and the heart and flower pins and scissors that she included! Britt sent along two charts with loads of hearts that I cannot wait to stitch, loads of lovely Zweigart belfast linens, a stitcher's note pad and cards. I think I have been truly spoiled. Thanks so much Britt!
I had the pleasure of talking with my good friend Cindy, my mom and one of my brother's yesterday as well, and had many emails. What more could anyone want than to be remembered and thought of on their birthday! Thanks again everyone!

Let it go. No need for drawing out something that clearly cannot be fixed or repaired. You can't put band aids or tape over something forever. Eventually whatever you are trying to hold together is going to fall apart. That goes for life and electronics.
Sometimes relationships; whether friendships, family ties, or romantic relationship, are not meant to last. I once read something that said people come into your life for a reason, season, or a lifetime. Sometimes those reasons are to help you grow, help you get through something, or to provide you with something good and long lasting. You never know why a person came into your life until they are gone. So enjoy the time you have with them, learn and grow because in the end you will figure out why that person came into your life.
Like Joel Olsteen said, once that person is gone, let them go because God placed them there to serve a purpose. Once that purpose has been served and the person is gone, don't try to chase them or bring them back. You have to just let it go. If a person comes into your life for a reason or season, don't try to make them a lifetimer. Sometime a person might come into your life and cause you pain or heart ache, but you cannot be discouraged, you have to learn from that person and move forward with those new life lessons. No one has life figured out, but every day is a new experience and an opportunity to live and learn, try to squeeze some laughing in too. Cheers to ending old relationships and to the beginning of good, new long lasting relationships!
Below is the Reason, Season, and Lifetime piece that I would like to share with you.
Reason, Season and Lifetime
People always come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.
When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
or to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they just walk away.
Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON,
it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
And like Spring turns to Summer and Summer to Fall,
the season eventually ends.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway);
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas in your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being part of my life.

This study demonstrates a novel tunable grating based on a stressed liquid crystal (SLC) film. This device can be modulated by shearing a length or applying an AC voltage to tune the intensity and polarization of diffracted beams. The device capable of tuning the intensity and/or polarization of diffracted beams is essential to various optical systems. Thus, SLC gratings have potential for practical applications.

Over the last few months, I have seen bottle caps used in crafts quite a bit. I wasn't quite sure how I would use them, but I decided to get some this past weekend. As soon as I had some in my hand, inspiration hit. Make them into checkers:
I still had the pirate paper left over from the bookmark, so I decided to punch out small circles focusing on getting the skull and swords in each one. I then mounted the smaller circles on red paper circles to make them the right size to fit the top of the bottle caps. Figuring out what to use for the opposing person's checkers had me a bit stumped until I found the shiny gold paper in my stash – doubloons. For them, I punched circles to fit the bottle caps and then punched textured rings for around the outside of the "coins".
Here is a more detailed photo of the checkers themselves:
I still had one more obstacle to overcome. What family doesn't own a checkerboard? Apparently, mine! So, I did what any good crafter would do and made my own using a 12×12 piece of cardboard as a base. I cut 1 1/2 squares in black and white and set to work. Luckily, I realized the checkerboard issue over the weekend, so I worked on that during all of the Super Bowl pre-game hype and could focus on the checkers today.
So, who wants to play?

The TUC has warned that if the next government doesn't act, UK wage growth will remain at the bottom of the league.
Counting from 2008 to 2018, the TUC's analysis puts the UK at No. 30 in a table of 32 OECD countries, with wage growth sitting at -6.8% and outstripped only by Italy on -7.3% and Greece on -25.2%.
The table is topped by Poland with 24.5% wage growth, followed by the Slovak Republic on 20.4% and Sweden on 18.7%.
The table confirms that, conversely to most other advanced economies, UK workers will suffer a fall in real wages in both 2017 and '18 of -0.5%.
Real wage growth across other countries will increase by an average of 2.6%.
The reduction by the end of 2018 means that real wages will be 6.8% lower than they were in 2007, before the financial crisis.
In their March forecast, the Office for Budgetary Responsibility show UK real wages rising over the same period by 0.6%, in contrast to the decline on the basis of the OECD forecast. The latest ONS real average weekly earnings figures for February 2017 show a -0.4% decline on the year (on the single month measure).
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady said: "British workers have endured the longest pay squeeze since Victorian times. And now even more pain is on the horizon.
"Britain badly needs a pay rise – and all the political parties must explain in their manifestos how they will boost living standards across the UK.
"A good start would be to scrap the unfair pay restrictions on public servants. It is disgraceful in the world's sixth richest economy that nurses have to use food banks to get by."Tuesday, 16 May 2017
