Auto buyers beware of potential vehicles that were in flood waters
Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the resulting flooding have caused catastrophic levels of damage. Experts at CarTalk.com have determined that any vehicle where floodwater that rose above its floor is considered "totaled". According to the Federal Trade Commission , "a salvage title means the vehicle was declared a total loss by an insurance company because of a serious accident or some other problems".

"The S-Class embodies the 'Essence of Luxury' of Mercedes-Benz like no other model series and will complement Oman Air's renowned high standards and award winning service. I look forward to a close working relationship with Oman Air through this luxurious service to their customers."

The credit bubble's collapse in 2008 showed that such fears were well-founded—but geographically misplaced. Instead, it was the unmanaged debt of mature economies that led to a global financial crisis, and continues to hamper the global economy today, write Richard Dobbs, Susan Lund and Anu Madgavkar in Mint. How mature economies manage their debt overhang will determine the pace of global growth in the years ahead. In the past, a perennial fear in the global financial system was that an emerging market nation would crumble under unsupportable debt and spark a contagious financial crisis. The credit bubble's collapse in 2008 showed that such fears were well-founded—but geographically misplaced. Instead, it was the unmanaged debt of mature economies that led to a global financial crisis, and continues to hamper the global economy today. In the next few years, how successfully the largest mature economies address their debt overhangs will determine the pace of global economic growth. Some of these countries face debt ratios of 300-500% of gross domestic product (GDP) (compared with 122% for India). They must carefully reduce this debt without choking off recovery and global demand. Thus far, they have been spared the forced deleveraging that many developing economies have experienced in the aftermath of debt crises—rapid contraction in bank lending driven by acute funding and capital shortages cutting off investment and growth. The euro zone crisis serves as a reminder of such risk. Even controlled deleveraging can dampen growth, which is why the rest of the world should pay close attention to large mature economies such as the US and the UK. In our research into relevant historical deleveraging episodes, e.g., the cases of Sweden and Finland in the 1990s, deleveraging has proceeded in two phases. In the first, the private sector (households, corporations and financial institutions) reduces debt, but consumption and investment are slow and GDP growth is low or negative—typically raising government deficits. In the second phase, GDP growth rebounds and governments begin the long process of paying off their debt. Tracking how mature economies are deleveraging, will give business leaders in India insight into where and when growth is likely to accelerate. Of the 10 largest mature economies, we found that the US has made the greatest progress in private sector deleveraging. Household debts, the largest category in the US, have fallen by more than half a trillion dollars, thanks largely to defaults on mortgages and consumer loans. The ratio of household debt to income has fallen by 15 percentage points, leaving US households with perhaps two years or less of debt reduction ahead. Households in the UK and Spain have made less progress and may face many years of paying down debt. But household debt is only one metric to watch. In Spain, for example, it may be more useful to watch the corporate sector. Spain's non-financial corporations have a ratio of debt to national income that is 20% higher than in France or the UK and three times that of German firms. Those debt loads may inhibit the ability of Spanish companies to invest and generate new growth. The historic episodes in Sweden and Finland show six markers that countries are ready for the second phase of deleveraging: the banking system is stable and banks are lending; there is a credible plan to reduce government debt; structural reforms are in place; exports are rising; private investment is recovering; and housing is stable. Today, no country has reached all six. The US has neither adopted a long-term plan to address government debt, nor has its housing market stabilized; home prices continue to fall in some regions and housing starts are one-third of their long-term average. The UK has a debt plan and a healthier housing market, but has yet to see non-financial corporations begin to invest in expansion. In Sweden and Finland, structural reforms were critical to unleashing growth. Both countries joined the European Union in 1995, which helped attract new domestic and foreign investment and set the stage for stronger export growth. Sweden enacted a variety of reforms in retail and banking to make those sectors more competitive. Today's deleveraging economies have similar opportunities. The US, for example, can attract more foreign investment by speeding up regulatory processes and can raise its export volume by making it easier for tourists and foreign students to enter. For emerging economy globalizers doing business in today's deleveraging economies, the watchword is patience. The path from excessive debt to robust growth is a long one with many twists along the way. Overall, one should expect restrained demand in the next few years; when consumers do open their wallets, they will use more cash and less credit and will seek value products. There will be pressure on margins in consumer and business-to-business sectors, so now is a good time to raise the bar on productivity. Finally, remember that it is often in times of slow growth that market leadership changes—the companies that invest ahead of robust demand materializing can capture share. Richard Dobbs, Susan Lund and Anu Madgavkar : Dobbs is director of the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), McKinsey's business and economics research arm, and a director of McKinsey based in Seoul; Lund is director of research and a Washington, D.C., partner at MGI; and Madgavkar is senior fellow with MGI leading MGI teams based in India.

Day two of the first Formula One tests of the 2011 season saw Timo Glock back in the 2010 VR-01 car in Valencia today. The German driver and the team were able to carry on testing the new Pirelli tyres and continue working through the programme of 2011 systems evaluation.
Timo Glock completed his first 34 laps of the season. Tomorrow he will be back at the wheel of the car during the third and final day of tests in a warm and sunny Valencia. It will also be the last day with the VR-01 car, as the new MVR-02 car will be presented next Monday in London and will be ready for the second test of the season in Jerez.
Timo Glock
"It was good to be in the car again after a winter preparing myself for a new season which I am really looking forward to. These first tests are going to be useful as we continue getting to grips with the new Pirelli tyres. Despite not being able to complete as many laps as we would have liked, it has been a very interesting day for me and the team and I can't wait to jump in the car again tomorrow and carry on working hard in preparation for the new season ahead."
John Booth, Team Principal
"It has been another interesting day for the team in Valencia and we are getting very useful information. It's good to see Timo back in the car again. We had some minor hydraulic problems, but the team is working very hard and is ready for tomorrow's last day of tests in Valencia."

What will the next generation of clients expect from wealth managers? How will the industry bring in new talent? Here, Greg Fleming, president of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, talks about these issues and how his firm is addressing them and preparing for the future.
This interview is a sneak-peek at our November special report, State of Wealth Management. On Wall Street interviewed the industry's top executives for this deep look at the wirehouses and regional broker-dealers. Check out this upcoming report to see more of our interview with Fleming and other industry leaders.
How are millennial clients different than previous generations?
Digital is very important there. And this time is different.
In fact, there is some research to suggest that 1985 is a marker. Before 1985, human beings didnt function as differently from previous generations. But people born after 1985 were born into a world that is very technology-driven. We as the purveyors of wealth management need to be very aware of that. It has to shape the way that we approach them.
If you look at surveys of millennials, they are much more comfortable interacting on a digital basis for lots of things in their lives rather than face-to-face. You just need to know some millennials to know this. They text each other while in the same room.
This is even different than the industrial revolution. When my father, who is now 81, talks about how things, when he was a boy, were different than when I was boy it took almost 50 years to have that dramatic difference, to say, "Wow, you listened to the radio when I watch TV?"
Now you can have one generation [go by] and say, Wow, you didnt have cell phones in the mid 90s? Its not like a 50-year gap. So the degree of change is dramatic.
Were very cognizant of this and were preparing for it. We believe firmly and staunchly in advice for the overriding number of people, and we think that will be true, 20, 30 and even 40 years from now, particularly for those who have a lot of money to manage. But that doesnt mean that we will stand in the way of digital evolution.
Even wealthy, high-end clients are going to want the firm to be technologically state-of-the-art. Were aware of that and intent on offering that.
Is the industry attracting enough young talent into the business?
I am not convinced, and Im not sure how available this information is, but this notion that advisors are older than average has been out there a long time. I dont think the average age of advisors is much higher than it was in 2000.
Having said that, I did just give you the argument that I believe there is a compression in the time frames of what is happening. Millennials have grown up very differently than any other generation. So it is very important that organizations like ours adapt to that and hire advisors who understand that.
We want to have a good representation of millennials and younger advisors in our ranks. Because of that, we continue to have a financial advisor training program. Its a big program. Right now we bring in about 900 new advisors. Its expensive for us to do that. Its time consuming for managers. And it has to be strategically important if you want to have it and maintain it.
One of the reasons we do have it is because its important to attracting, developing and investing in advisors that are ultimately, generationally additive to what we already have.
On Wall Street estimates that Morgan has recruited advisors managing nearly $8 billion in assets including two of the largest moves of the year. To what do you attribute your recruiting successes?
Recruiting is an important part of what we do because it can be invigorating in a branch. In particular, if there is an advisor or team that wants to be part of what we are building, we are interested in that. But we think we have the best advisors, and we certainly have scale at about 16,000 advisors. Recruiting is important, but its not the top priority.
We want our branch managers focused first and foremost on helping the financial advisors they have, helping them partner, helping them serve their clients more effectively, on streamlining decision making to help foster that entrepreneurial culture those are our priorities. And I convey that all the time around the organization.
Recruiting fills in around that. We do bring in advisors and teams. We like the ones who have been in one place for a long time, who say, We agree, your model is different and we can thrive in that model. I believe that in the final analysis that is why we are successful recruiting.
How is the industry changing?
One of the changes over the last decade or so that exists both at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and at many of our large competitors, is the migration of advice-giving from just the asset side of the clients balance sheet to the liability side as well.
If you go back to a pre-2004 timeframe, just to go back only ten years, the business was still a primarily transactional business as prosecuted by most financial advisors on behalf of clients. The advisory side of the business in terms of the clients assets was fairly embryonic; since then there has been enormous growth.
Our fee-based assets at Morgan Stanley exceed $750 billion, and that is up from a much smaller number several years ago. That is true across the industry. Youve had the explosion of fee-based assets for financial advisors on behalf of their clients.
More recently youve had a significant growth of advising clients on the liability side of the balance sheet: mortgage products, securities based loans for high net worth clients, tailored lending, and theres been tremendous growth in that both at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and across the industry as a whole. In fact, within many wealth management businesses is embedded a big bank.
We carry the cash balance for many of our clients and those deposits add up to about $130 billion dollars. The best thing we can do with those balances is to lend them back to clients, in the form a loan or tailored loan against certain types of collateral. And weve been very focused on developing that business and have done so.
What's the future like for Morgan?
From the standpoint of the business itself, we recently passed a milestone of $2 trillion in assets under management for our clients. We were pleased with that because it is a lot of money and says a lot about how much confidence our clients have in us. We want to continue to build that and grow that. We think that over the next five years or so, that number could be $3 trillion.
We are also focused on building our bank. We have a lot of capacity to lend to our clients. We want to continue to build up the size of the business. Over time we think we can continue to make it bigger.
Lastly, the connectivity between wealth management and the other parts of Morgan Stanley has been dramatically enhanced over the last couple years. But we think we can do a lot more there. My partner in the institutional side of the firm, Colm Kelleher, and I work very well together. We set in place a culture and a set of priorities that everybody is on board with. The notion that we work together wherever it makes sense to serve the client is ensconced throughout the firm.
Were taking advantage of the scale and risk management and the things that the institutional side of firm does very well. Were bringing more and a broader set of products to our clients. We think we can continue to do more connecting the different businesses of the firm.

Sanford Health set out to provide its clinicians with actionable information from its growing database of patient data. On its journey, the organization prioritized and rapidly executed on a comprehensive data warehouse strategy as well as strict data governance. Early projects leveraging predictive algorithms within machine learning environments revealed the importance of a control group to account for the "regression to the mean." Moreover, these projects validated the need to rapidly sidestep the noise of predictive analytics for the precision of prescriptive analytics. This webinar will provide a detailed discussion of the types of information that can reliably be shared with clinicians through the application of risk scoring, control groups, machine learning and prescriptive analytics.

Sign Up for the Free CRM
You can have up to 4 members on a team for free and each additional member is only $10 per month. It will take us up to 24 hours to manually add the new members to your account. You can watch the video to see and how sign the procedure works or just follow these steps. It is really easy so let's get started. First go ahead and click on to the CRM tab on the menu. If you are a registered member with a password and login just login. If you are not a registered member do not register it will happen automatically when you sign up for a new team. On the "Welcome to Setup Sales Opportunity for Teams panel click" the "Create Team" button. Here you can Name your team. After naming the team you will select the number of users Up to four are free. Once the number is selected your will need to fill out the First Name, last and email for each team member. We suggest that you allow as few admin(s) as possible and if only one person who administers the site is best. Once this step is complete each member will receive an email with a password. Return to the site and using your CRM.
Getting you contacts imported is easy in the Free CRM with Sales Opportunity by GregMedia, Inc. You have your choice of entering each contact individually or upload a whole list using our contact info template. Either way you can upload your contacts easily and accurately.
You are on the home page of the CRM. Click on the Company button and that will take you to the contact Management Panel. In order to insert a contact manually simply click on the green plus sign button that says "add company". A form will appear to be filled out with the contact information. The only fields that are not mandatory are: Street address 2, phone 2, Fax, and Mobile. Address notes needs to have something in it. I use this as my first call or the prospect's industry. Company type is: "Lead", "Prospect" or "Account". The most common definition for the 3 company types are a "Lead" is a company that has not been contacted, a "Prospect" is one that has been contacted and an "Account" is a company that has bought. This distinction is important because in many sales organizations once a sales person sells to a company that company becomes there account and they get credit for any return business. If you do not have a particular piece of information required by the form just put in something fictitious. If you don't have the email for example put in firstname.lastname@example.com or anything which complies with the email format.
If you have a list of "Prospects" or "Accounts" that you want to import the process is simple. Click on the "Contact Info Template" which will down load an excel template. Make sure that you fill all the mandatory fields which are indicated on the excel spread sheet. Once the spread sheet is finished save it as a .xls not a .xlsx which is the newest format. We chose the older format so that those that had an older version of Excel could still upload their contacts. Choose the company type, "All types", " Leads ", "Prospects ", or " Accounts". Select the file from your local machine by using the "Browse" button click on the "Import to Database" button and you are finished. You will see a confirming statement.
The Admin Tools For the CRM by Greg Media allow the admin to manage and customize the CRM to best fit your own organization's needs. Adding and removing users is easy and every team can have up to 4 members for free. Manage lead sources allows you to know which marketing campaigns are working and which are not. It works by labeling each opportunity with a lead source such as Google, cold calling or particular trade show. After a period of time it will be easy to analysis the numbers and see which marketing campaigns are working and which are not. As administrator of the CRM you can also manage the steps of the sales process. The default setting are "The 5 steps of the sales call", that I train with. You can watch the video series under the tab of "sales training." As admin you can also check out the team members results and see where they are in the sales process with their prospects. These tools make administering the CRM from GregMedia, Inc. easy.
Here is where you create an "Opportunity", which is defined as; actions taken by a sales profession to procure the purchase of a particular product or service to an account or prospects. Really it means trying to sell something to someone. The opportunity is where you log and plan your sales activity. The best way to do this is to have a single entity for each sales process. An opportunity is tied to one contact. So next to the contact there is a red link "Create" and click on it to create the opportunity. You will see the name of the company and the contact the opportunity will be attached to. Usually you need to leave this alone. If you need to change the contact it can be done here. You will need to name the opportunity, I usually use the name of the Company. Sales Rep, that would be the person who is logged in at the time so there is no reason to change that. Lead Source which will be covered more extensively in the Admin tutorial. For now, just push the arrow on the drop down and select the correct source of the lead which could be a trade show or a particular marketing campaign, etc. Status is usually left open. Opportunity Value is where you forecast the amount of the potential sale. Confidence in closing is just asking for a percent you will close a deal that has the same characteristics. Use the calendar utility to estimate when you plan to sell to this contact and close the opportunity. Quote /Proposal and contract agreement allow you to upload into the system any document that you may want to refer to later. In the details field you can put any notes that help with connecting to the contact. These as are all the fields are mandatory except for those that are there for uploading documents. Once you have completed this form click on save opportunity. You now have a saved opportunity which you see on the dash board under recent opportunities and obviously when you click the "opportunities" badge.

By Andrew Morrison, senior vice president, Managed Print Services Business, Xerox
When the much anticipated next generation iPhone 5 arrived, Apple reportedly sold more than five million phones over its debut weekend. Were you one of the lucky five million to cash in on the latest trend? Keeping pace with the latest and greatest is not only important to individuals, but to businesses as well. And leading brands like Apple recognize that they must be one step ahead of what consumers think they need.
We feel the same way – especially when it comes to managed print services (MPS).
The IDC Worldwide and U.S. Managed Print Services and Basic Print Services (BPS) 2012-2016 Forecast and Analysis reports that MPS and BPS is projected to grow from $26.2 billion in 2011 to $47.0 billion by 2016.[1] That means it's more important than ever for Xerox to keep pace with this rapidly growing space.
To meet the growing demands of our customers and partners, we needed a faster way to capture and analyze data to continue to deliver innovative, customized MPS strategies businesses of all sizes. We recently selected Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) to support our network of cloud-based MPS delivery centers around the world, and speed up the connection between data servers and the more than one million Xerox and non-Xerox print devices we manage. As a result, customers experience a faster, more reliable delivery of MPS applications and we stay ahead of their needs by using the data we collect to continually recommend new ways to simplify the way they work with both paper and digital documents.
While some are fortunate enough to get their hands on the latest gadgets, our customers cannot rely simply on luck to keep pace with their competitors. Xerox is committed to developing technology based on where our customers are headed and where we see the market progressing. And that's not luck; that's innovation.
Andrew leads the expansion and evolution of Xerox's market-leading MPS portfolio.

VMM-to-SystemC Communication Using the TLI
Posted by John Aynsley on March 22nd, 2011
John Aynsley, CTO, Doulos
I have said several times on this blog that the presence of TLM-2.0 features in VMM 1.2 should ease the task of communicating between a SystemVerilog test bench and a SystemC reference model. Now, at last, let's see how to do this – using the VCS TLI or Transaction Level Interface from Synopsys.
The parts of the TLI in question are the VCS TLI Adapters between SystemVerilog and SystemC. These adapters exploit the TLM-2.0-inspired features introduced into VMM 1.2 on the SystemVerilog side and the OSCI TLM-2.0 standard itself on the SystemC side in order to pass transactions between the two language domains within a VCS simulation run. The TLI Adapters do not provide a completely general solution out-of-the-box for passing transactions between languages in that they are restricted to passing TLM-2.0 generic payload transactions (as discussed in a previous blog post). However, the Adapters can be extended by the user with a little work.
Clearly, the VCS TLI solution will only be of interest to VCS users. As an alternative to the VCS TLI, it is possible to pass transactions between SystemVerilog and SystemC using the SystemVerilog DPI as described in SystemVerilog Meets C++: Re-use of Existing C/C++ Models Just Got Easier, and the Accellera VIP Technical Subcommittee are discussing a proposal to add a similar capability to UVM.
If you want to pass user-defined transactions between SystemVerilog and SystemC you are going to have to jump through some hoops, whether you choose to use the VCS TLI or the DPI. However, for the TLM-2.0 generic payload, the VCS TLI provides a simple ready-to-use solution. Let's see how it works.
The TLI Adapters are provided as part of VCS. All you have to do is to include the appropriate file headers in your source code on both the SystemVerilog and SystemC sides, as shown on the diagram. The adapters themselves get compiled and instantiated automatically. The SystemVerilog side needs to use the VMM TLM ports, exports, or channels (as described in previous blog posts). The SystemC side needs to use the standard TLM-2.0 sockets. You then need to add a few extra lines of code on each side to bind the two sets of sockets together, and the TLI Adapters take care of the rest.
From the point of view of the source code, the adapter is invisible apart from the presence of the header files. Each binding needs to be identified by giving it a name, with identical names being used on the SystemVerilog and SystemC sides to tie the two sets of ports or sockets together. Here is a trivial example:
// SystemVerilog
`include "tli_sv_bindings.sv"
vmm_tlm_b_transport_port #(my_xactor, vmm_tlm_generic_payload) m_b_port;
tli_tlm_bind(m_xactor.m_b_port, vmm_tlm::TLM_BLOCKING_EXPORT, "abc");
// SystemC
#include "tli_sc_bindings.h"
tlm_utils::simple_target_socket<scmod> targ_socket_lt;
tli_tlm_bind_target (m_scmod->targ_socket_lt, LT, "abc", true);
Note that the same name "abc" has been used on both the SystemVerilog and SystemC sides to tie the two ports/sockets together. On the SystemVerilog side we can now construct transactions and send them out through the TLM port:
// SystemVerilog
tx = new;
assert( tx.randomize() with { m_command != 2; } );
m_b_port.b_transport(tx, delay);
On the SystemC side, we receive the incoming transaction:
// SystemC
void scmod::b_transport(tlm::tlm_generic_payload& tx, sc_time& delay) {
The TLI Adapter takes care of converting the generic payload transaction from SystemVerilog to SystemC, and also takes care of the synchronization between the two languages. The VCS TLI provides a great ready-made solution for this particular use case. In the next blog post I will look at the VCS TLI support for various TLM modeling styles.

Some race horses staying in a stable. One of them starts to boast about his track record. "In the last 15 races, I've won 8 of them!"
Another horse breaks in, "Well in the last 27 races, I've won 19!!"
"Oh that's good, but in the last 36 races, I've won 28!" , says another, flicking his tail.
At this point, they notice that a greyhound dog has been sitting there listening. "I don't mean to boast," says the greyhound, "but in my last 90 races, I've won 88 of them!"
The horses are clearly amazed. "Wow!" says one, after a hushed silence. "A talking dog.
Why is horse racing so romantic?
Because the
horse hugs the rails, the jockey puts his arms around the
horse and
you can kiss your money goodbye!
A blonde tries to go horseback riding even though she has had no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and the horse immediately springs into action. It gallops along at a steady rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to lose her grip and starts to slide in the saddle. In terror, she grabs for the mane but can't seem to get firm grip.
She tries to throw her arms around the horses neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to it's slipping rider. Unfortunately, the Blondes foot has become entangled in the stirrup. She is now at the mercy of the hooves as her head is struck against the ground over and over again.
As her head is battered against the ground she is moments away from losing consciousness when, to her great fortune, the Woolworths Manager sees her and unplugs the horse.
Three race horse were boasting one day
First one said"I have won 20 races out of 30"
Second one said"That's nothing!!! , I have won 25 out of 30"
Third one said"Both of you are losers. I have won 28 out of 30"
A dog who was listening to the conversation said that it was nothing and he had won all 30 races he raced in.
This surprised all the 3 horses
First one said that the dog was amazing.
Second horse said that this dog can be easily sold for a million $.
Third one said "Yes, he can talk."
David Beckham decides to go horse riding. Although he has had no previous experience he skilfully mounts the horse and appears incomplete command of the situation as the horse gallops along at a steady pace, Victoria admiringly watching her husband.
After a short time David becomes a little casual and he begins to lose his grip in the saddle, he panics and grabs the horse round the neck shouting for it to stop.
Victoria starts to scream and shout for someone to help her husband as David has by this time slipped completely out of the saddle and is only saved from hitting the ground by the fact that he still has a grip on the horse's neck.
David decides that his best chance is to leap away from the horse, but his foot has become entangled in one of the stirrups. As the horse gallops along David's head is banging on the ground and he is slipping into unconsciousness.
Victoria is now frantic and screams and screams for help!! Hearing her screams, the Tesco Security Guard comes out of the store and unplugs the horse!

We have some questions in our minds. Is education a necessity or a Luxury? Why is education important? What happens if we are not educated? Here, a little attempt has been made to answer such questions.
What is Education?
We shape plants by cultivation and we shape Men by Education. Education is not for studying and grabbing good results at schools and colleges. Education is a medium to discover what we do not know and enhance our level of knowledge. Education gives us the ability to draw a line between the right and the wrong and the good and the Evil. An individual becomes excellent in nature by education. Education not only excels human beings but also enables them to work for the excellence of their societies. Life is a never-ending process. Reproduction and Nutrition are essential for physical life and Education is a necessity for social life. Education transforms human life.
What Did Great Men Say About 'Education'?
Albert Einstein said - "Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learnt in School "
Mahatma Gandhi Said – "Literacy in itself is no education. Literacy is not the end or even the beginning. By education, I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man-body, mind and the spirit"
Aristotle Said – "The Roots of Education are Bitter, But the Fruit is Sweet".
John Dewey said – "Education is not preparation for life, Education is Life itself"
Malcolm X Said – "Education is the Passport to the Future, for Tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it Today"
William S Burroughs Said – "The Aim of Education is the Knowledge of Values, but Not of Facts".
Education … Education is the only way for the human beings to grab the opportunity to change the society they live in. Education is nothing but imparting higher values, good behaviour and the best attitudes in people. These values and attitudes help the people to live in their society with harmony. Education is not an activity that may be started at some point in the childhood and be stopped at some point on attaining adulthood.
Education is a continuous process of knowing and learning from the birth to the death. Some people feel that education is for the sake of finding a good job to earn their living. This is completely a wrong notion. Education gives us an opportunity to build constructive and positive human relationships. Education imparts the quality of forgiveness and the ability to accept the God and His Creation.
We cannot rule out the fact the human beings are the only creatures equipped with the capacity to reason. Education always reminds a person that he is a part of the society and also reminds that the person has to strive for the excellence of the society. Education can be a driving force to transform the society. Educated people are supposed to throw away all the evils of the society. They should think of the downtrodden and underprivileged people of the society and take necessary action to redeem from such social evils. They should shed light on the people who live in the social darkness.
We must agree that education drives us towards civilisation. Education makes us philanthropists. Above all, education makes us Humans with Humanity. Any society whether is underdeveloped or developed should make education its backbone. Education brings perfection to Human beings as Humanity as well. Education helps human beings know about their society, their fellow living beings, their environment, and their co-creatures. Education makes human beings excellent in their nature. Education drives human beings from innocence to wisdom. Education drives human beings from barbarism to civilisation. Education drives the man from selfishness to philanthropy.
Education prepares children to become their own masters. Education makes the conscience active and the conscience always keeps them in good thoughts. Education is a necessary activity without which there is no possibility for cooperation in the process of Humanisation. Education motivates the people to develop social and human qualities. When we are educating someone, then we are teaching them to live in their own world and inculcating a quality of letting others live with them in peaceful and harmonious conditions.
Educating is nothing but imparting the qualities of thinking with reason. Education makes the people know about their duties and responsibilities. Education makes them follow their own religion. Education makes the people moral and intellectual. Education gives rebirth to the people. Getting education is nothing but having a superior life. Education should be available to all citizens of the society irrespective of the caste, creed, religion, or nationality.
Education drives us to explore the causes of all the evils of the society. Education helps us understand the need and importance of being educated. Education aims at the rapid progress of humanity in human beings. Education makes people empathetic. Education helps and supports an individual to build his own society and humanity. Education gives people confidence. Confidence makes people do miracles. Education helps us to get respect from their co-citizens. Education helps an individual to have a prosperous and satisfied life. Education also helps us get a job with a handsome salary.
Importance of Girl Education
The high focus should be put on girl education. A girl plays many crucial roles in the society. A girl acts as a daughter and later on acts as a wife and as a mother. The role of mother is very crucial in designing the lives of human beings. Mother is the architect of the future of every human being. Mother is the first teacher. She puts the best impressions into the gentle minds of the children. Mother is the first guide for every individual. If mothers are educated, the entire family will be educated. If the mother is educated, she can give a healthy and wealthy future to her children. If all the mothers in a society are educated, that society will become Utopia. It is a highly wrong notion that women are meant for education. Unfortunately, in this robotic era, many people feel that it is getting difficult to get the girls married if the girls are educated. Keeping the girls away from education is a barbaric and sinful act.
Why Is Education Important for Children?
Education is highly necessary for children. Governments are running many welfare programs for improving literacy rates. Literacy is different from education. Literates can write and read. But the children who are educated are able to understand the society. They are able to assess the standards of the society they live in by comparing to other developed societies and communities. The future of any nation is vested on the shoulders of Today's children. The children must be driven towards getting higher education and make their lives independent. Every parent should make their children educated. They must sacrifice anything for the education of their children if need be. Children who are given the opportunity for education will dream of their future. Children from the underprivileged and downtrodden societies must be given higher priority as far as the education is concerned. Education is the only panacea for all the social evils of the society.
Importance of Moral and Ethical Education
Morality and Ethics are the base of the human life and the society. A person who is highly educated but is without having morals and ethics will be a great disaster for the society. A scientist who knows the formula of an atom bomb and without the knowledge of morals, ethics and human sentiments, may not hesitate to use the bomb for no reason. Such knowledge is devastating and destructive. Human beings must live and let others live along with them. People must have some kind of attachment to themselves and with the society. There are many pieces of evidence of killing co-students and teachers at some schools and colleges in the developed countries. This clearly indicates that focus is not given to the moral education on par with the science education. Morality teaches the responsibility towards the fellowmen. Morality teaches how to behave with the fellowmen. Morality teaches how to have a harmonious and peaceful life. Morality teaches sympathy. Morality teaches how to share and receive different feelings and emotions. Morality teaches how to respond and react to different situations we face in our lives. Hence, teaching morality and ethics to children is highly necessary. The governments should start thinking to make moral education as a compulsory subject of study at schools and colleges.

State legislators just can't seem to break their nasty habit of relying on gimmicks to plug the hole in the state budget. They've been burned so many times you'd think they wouldn't even think of plundering the Energy Conservation Fund that was created in 1998 as part of the state's massive electricity deregulation law.
But not only are lawmakers thinking about it, they're strongly considering a proposal to siphon $1 million a month from the conservation fund and use the money to help pay the state's electric bills. The total raid on the fund would amount to nearly $30 million through June 2005.

Information security management
Information Security is about ensuring that stakeholders have confidence and trust in the University's ability to manage and protect the information it collects and holds - including academic records, curriculum information, student credit card details, research and development output and university financials. Loss of that confidence and trust will have a major impact on the University's operations.
Properly managing and securing information is a complex process that requires input and support from almost everyone with access to any UQ information or information system. Because of the broad involvement of all levels of the organisation, to be effective, the information security management programme must have the real and visible support of Executive Management. The Queensland Government has defined the standard requirements applicable to all governmental and semi-governmental entities for securing organisational information; this is contained in Queensland Government Information Standard 18: Information Security. The University of Queensland is required to comply with the principles contained in IS18 for effective information security management.
The standard defines security based on 10 principles that cover many aspects of security, from traditional physical and document security to information technology controls, and are applicable to all departments in the University. To be effective, implementation of these principles needs to be lead by management, and one of the principles specifically describes the role of management in achieving this. See the links below for more information about IS18.

pastel and wax oil pastel on paper
40 3/4 x 36 inches
The 'traces' are made on grey paper from either a rubbing of the surface of the paintings in progress or from beneath the works on paper. These works are a way to capture the stages, ideas and poetics that surface and are then subsumed in the development of works, and to assert momentary flashes of visibility within dense aggregations of time. – Jessica Dickinson
By way of painting, drawing, and abstraction, artist Jessica Dickinson explores the breakdown of binary structures that question inside and outside, subject and object, and suspension and closure. Her work gradually reveals a field of optical and poetic subtleties that give the viewer an opportunity for individual discovery. Dickinson was born in Minnesota and lives and works in Brooklyn. Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Frieze Art Fair, Frame; Brooklyn Fire Proof project space; Bas Fisher Invitational Miami; and Maisterra Valbuena Galería, Madrid. Dickinson has recently participated in group exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, and Providence.

In Seattle, prices aren't dropping because sellers are not dropping their prices. Not much of anything is moving right now in the Seattle market. Sellers have been able to wait it out so far, but it remains to be seen just how much longer they can, or will, continue to wait. One thing is certain, though: The market is not as great here as the national media make it seem.
The previous record for the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller year-over-year index for the top 10 metropolitan areas, set in April 1991, was 6.3 percent. Homeowners and investors can remind themselves that home prices recovered from that previous low and they will eventually recover from this one as well. What we don't know is how low prices are going to go, or how long it will take to recover.
At this time, investors would be wise to focus on cash flow, not appreciation. Properties that provide cash flow are much more likely to retain their values. Once the market turns around, investors can look at getting back into more speculative plays.

Things got pretty serious. My mother had been insisting I accompany on her morning jogs and on these past two days I finally gave in. Which meant waking up at 5 am in the morning. No, it isn't as fun as it sounds. Turns out a lot of moving is involved and the morning air hurts my face. Later, in another twist of events a cool/casual visit to the dentist turned important as I was prescribed an immediate root canal(operation?). So by the time I got out with a swollen lip and a numb tongue and had to make my way through a couple of busy Guwahati streets I was feeling almost heroic. That is till my BBC app showed the selfies of two Brazilian fugitives on the run talking about their escape on Facebook.
How to while away some holidays
Wow. It's been a while since I came back to this site and the 25 year old me would not have OKed the domain name nor the old posts written years back. I am out of ideas at the moment (on vacation at home after three semesters of grad school) but I am going to take some time out from doing nothing to maintaining some sort of a journal for the future me to judge.
I spent most of today's morning finishing this book with my mother sitting next to me adorably sending out text messages wishing people for the new year. I spent the good part of the rest of my day with my sister trying to complete our goal of finishing Brooklyn Nine- Nine's seasons on Netflix within the next couple of days. I am not sure I even like the show anymore, just the goal seems too important to let go of now. Had to negotiate between the both of us as to who would go downstairs to spend time with the family during the course of the day but all is good as Season 3 seems reachable by tonight. Then cruised through the evening with some canine canoodling, some post-rock and more videos.
I should really get some work done(or anything at all) before I go back to Bloomington but for now the Internet wins.
There were disagreements,
And bitter words spoken for the umpteenth time
But then it will all be washed away
Because there is talk amongst the clouds tonight.

John McCain appeared on Meet the Press today with Tom Brokaw and declared that he was not yet finished and that this race was going to be very close and that he would emerge the victor. Certainly that's possible and surely the race will tighten over the last days. But I couldn't help but notice the place from which McCain mounted his most recent last stand - Waterloo. Iowa, not Belgium, but sometimes this campaign feels like an elaborate joke.

The first time I heard his name, I knew something was going to happen between us.
I had been in my new home of Watsonville for about four hours and was enjoying my first chavella with my new house mate Bryan. A chavella is a Mexican drink made from beer, clam juice, wine and tomato juice garnished with shrimp. Yes, they are amazing and one of my favorite first memories of home.
He looks down at his phone and laughs. "It's already started," he says.
"What's stared?" I ask.
"The questions. My friend Sante just sent me a text: 'Quit holding out on us. Is she cute?' "
I laugh. Not that this guy wondered that. I get it. I'm new and that's interesting. What I'm laughing at is that I just took the "red-eye" Greyhound bus up from L.A. I'm feeling pretty gritty. I need a few more showers and nights of sleep before I could pass as cute, as far as I'm concerned. But still, Bryan snaps a photo and sends it to his friend.
Since this was in my man-eating phase, I'm pretty sure that the something that would happen between us would be that we'd go on a few dates, I'd keep my walls up while he fell for me and then I would stomp all over his heart. It was pretty much my M.O. at the time, and though I'm not proud of it, I broke quite a few guys' hearts.
I met Sante a few days later when Bryan invited me to lunch with a few of his coworkers. They were going to Phil's in Moss Landing, which is this fish joint that's basically an overpriced tourist trap, but everybody's been there. And Bryan figured I should probably check it off my list.
We arrived and ordered at the counter. I got fish and chips. Some of the other guys order lobster and appetizers. I sit down and am formally introduced to Sante for the first time. He's sitting across the table from me. Not directly across from me, thank goodness.
I'm having a hard time looking at him, which is weird for me, because I have what some people call a staring problem. And generally when I find someone attractive (which I definitely felt with him), I have a habit of boring a hole into them, kind of fixating on them.
It's kind of creepy actually. And it's not just men but women and animals too. If I think you're attractive, I just enjoy looking at you. I catch myself and have to remind myself that when I'm on the opposite end of this exchange, I get very annoyed.
At any rate, I'm having a hard time looking at this terribly attractive man, so I distract myself with the conversation at hand, which, as it always does with these guys, is completely inappropriate and I'm laughing out loud on several occasions. After an hour of boisterous exchange, we all pile into cars and head back to Watsonville.
There's something that happens to you when you move to a new place (at least for me) in that you kind of forget that you're going to see people again. At first you just feel like you're on perpetual vacation and that you'll be getting on a plane any moment and won't ever see someone again.
I felt that way about Sante after that day. Well, it was nice to meet him, but I guess things weren't supposed to happen between us. Like that one exchange was the only chance I had to get his phone number and get to know him.
So imagine my surprise when a few weeks later we meet again at the dirt track races. It was dirty, loud, we'd smuggled some whiskey into the stands and things were promising to be loads of fun. There were about twelve of us, most everyone from Bryan's workplace.
Sante came to the track on his motorcycle, which to me was a HUGE deal because aside from moving across the continent, I had one goal that summer: Get on a motorcycle.
Now this goal was looking like it wasn't going to happen, mostly because I didn't know anyone with a motorcycle in California. So when I saw Sante with the bike, my first thought was about meeting my goal, which if you know anything about me, is kind of a driving factor. I love goals.
Never mind the fact that he's in this motorcycle jacket looking all sexy. Never mind that for whatever reason, I'm a bit tongue-tied around him. And never mind that I could barely look at him. All of that left my head with the sight of knocking that off my list.
"Ooooo could you take me on a ride?" I asked.
"Yeah, we could probably do that," he replied.
I put his phone number into my phone and ask how to spell his name. And then I ask his last name. It's a habit from having multiple people in my phone with the same name. It's frustrating. Plus, I like to know people's last names.
This exchange takes place in front of everyone and somebody gives me a hard time about asking about a last name.
"What? You think you're going to meet another Sante?"
Looking back on this, I smile at those words. Another Sante? Impossible. This guy is one in a gazillion.
Before we go on the motorcycle ride, Sante and I meet at the beach with a few friends. We're chatting and he says everything I'm about to say. I'm not kidding.
I'm about to bring up Curb Your Enthusiasm and he brings it up. Are you serious? It's maddening! I'm desperately trying to not be one of those "Oh, me too" girls, but he's making it next to impossible because we have so much in common.
He drives me home and lets me smoke in his car. For some reason this is a big deal for me. He doesn't smoke. Smoking is not at all OK, but he's just so nonjudgmental about it. This I like, of course.
I bring up the motorcycle ride again and he's a little vague about it. I implore him, letting him know how important it is to me, especially because it is one of my goals. He smiles and says he won't bail on me because it would be so mean.
"It'd be like saying to a puppy: 'You wanna go for a ride?' and then walking away."
That's right folks. One of us supposed to be a dog in this situation. I am. I am the dog.
But it's hard to be offended when the analogy is just so good. It's the writer in me.
It took a few more weeks, but we did finally go on that ride. And then we hung out after the races one night. We kissed that night, but I didn't want to get involved with my housemate's friend, which he didn't quite understand.
"Who do you date then?" he asked me later, when I explained it more. And I had no answer. Or rather, I didn't want to tell him my answer.
I had spent all my time dating guys that didn't match me. And didn't match my criteria for a man. A while before I met Sante, I wrote a list of all the characteristics I'd like my man to have.
At that point, I wasn't looking for a boyfriend, but after swarms of alcoholic, drug addict and suspected murderer types, it seemed like a good idea to have something to strive for as opposed to settle for. Gotta have goals, right? Plus I met a really great guy while in the middle of my heart-breaking and a little light went on. Even though he wasn't the right one, he had the recipe. Smart. Driven. He made me want to be better, and I liked that.
Sante matched my recipe. Smart. Ambitious. Funny. Good looking. Likes mushrooms and onions. Wants to be healthy. Cares about the environment. Cares about politics without being a zealot. Loves to be outside. Likes me for me. Active. Likes to travel. Doesn't want kids. Open minded. Kind.
There's more on the list, but really, I got pretty specific. And he matched. And that was a little scary at first, I guess, because I wasn't looking for a boyfriend. But really, did I think I was going to find another Sante?
I remember the night I realized it. Sante and I had had one of our first actual dates. But he was more leery of us as a couple than I was. I mean, c'mon, I was a self-proclaimed man-eater and a bit wild. I don't blame him.
I was out with some friends and Sante was out of town. There was this dude chatting with me who was hitting on me pretty hard. He was cute and kinda interesting, so I was having fun with it, flirting.
But after awhile, I caught myself thinking This isn't going to go anywhere. Why would I date this guy if it might mess things up with Sante. He's so not worth it.
Plus this dude spoke with a French accent, which meant I couldn't take him seriously at all. All I could think of was the French chef from The Little Mermaid.
Man eater tamed.
After dating for a few months it became clear that he had things I didn't even think to put on the list. That is the best part.
I love that he loves the moon as much as me. I adore that he will cheer with me for the chipmunks crossing the street. He takes me camping in the mountains all the time. He loves to kiss me (His coworkers asked if we had a quota to fill each day when they saw us say good bye one morning). He has a motorcycle. We like the same kind of beer. He doesn't eat dairy: I'm allergic and he's intolerant. Match made in heaven?
It was two years ago we started dating and thirty years ago Sante was born. I'm so happy for his existence. It's one of my favorite birthdays to celebrate. Sante makes me want to be a better human being, which is one of the most important qualities you can have in a friend or mate.

No, he's actually on his way to becoming a pharmacist, but the Padres' Kevin Kouzmanoff had a day that came close to being as notable as the only game Ron Wright played in. Ron Wright grounded into a triple play, a double, and struck out in his only three major league plate appearances. A stat worth noting, he grounded into this triple play three at-bats into his career, the lowest total in history. He was then sent down and never returned to the bigs. He is now pursuing a more academic future in pharmacy school. Kouzmanoff was close to matching this feat though, grounding into a 5-4-3 triple play (my goodness he is slow), a double play, and making four other outs, giving him an 0-6 performance. 9 outs came from Kouzmanoff's bat. That's one go around through Cleveland's lineup (Tigers 4th place and climbing…).
San Diego did manage to win the game 7-3 in 13 innings. Kouzmanoff had a suck day, but he's having a (slightly) above average season at a .268 BA with 8 home runs. Awful K/BB ratio (.15) though. San Diego still got the best of the deal with the Indians that sent 2B Josh Barfield (lost the job to Asdrubal Cabrera) and P Andrew Brown, who is putting up real solid numbers in a relief role in Oakland (2.45 ERA, 18.3 IP). Still, advantage goes to San Diego.

Older women more at risk of heart disease than men
In decades past older men were at greater risk for heart disease, but now women in their later years appear to be worse off, according to researchers.A study by researchers at the University of Southern California and the UCLA found that women in their 60s have as many risk factors for heart disease as men, and by age 70 have more.
High-risk blood pressure increased in women participants in the study but decreased in men. Also, more women than men studied had high C-Reactive Protein (in elevated levels the protein has been shown to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease). This risk factor appears to be associated with increased use of hormone-replacement therapy among women, said Eileen Crimmins, the study's author and professor in USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology.
The study report is published in the current issue of the Journal of Women's Health.

President Obama paid a visit to Wall Street to warn financiers that he does not intend to pass up the opportunity to overhaul the financial industry.
Marking the one-year anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Obama told the financiers in attendance at his speech at Federal Hall that they would not be allowed to go back to their old ways.
Unfortunately there are some in the financial industry who are misreading this moment, he said. Instead of learning the lessons of Lehman and the crises from which were still recovering, theyre choosing to ignore those lessons. I'm convinced they do so not just at their own peril, but at our nation's. So I want everybody here to hear my words: We will not go back to the days of reckless behavior and unchecked excess that was at the heart of this crisis, where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses. Those on Wall Street cannot resume taking risks without regard for consequences, and expect that next time, American taxpayers will be there to break their fall.
Obama said the financial industry needs strong rules of the road to follow. Those apparently involve the multipart legislation for overhauling financial regulations that the Treasury Department transmitted to Congress before last months recess. Among the goals are oversight of the over-the-counter derivatives market and the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency and a systemic risk regulator.
Accountants are likely to play a major part in implementing whatever rules of the road ultimately get passed by Congress and put in place by the various agencies. They will be the ones auditing the financial statements and doing the taxes, as well as making sure that sound risk management strategies and compliance policies are in place at financial companies that are all too ready to take enormous risks with other peoples money.

Maturing Toward Wholeness in the Inner Life
New Life Comes Forth from Death:
It Is No Longer I Who Live, But Christ Who Lives in Me
Foundational in Jesus' teaching: to access the new life he offers, I must first allow God to put my old self-life to death. The cross must precede the resurrection. Grasping on to my own damaged life only leads me deeper into despair. Laying it down in order to receive a new, Christ-life leads to pure joy.

City expected to issue info on paper plant
According to Mayor Tom Stinebaugh, a news release will be issued at this evening's meeting of the Wapakoneta City Council concerning the new Pratt Industries paper mill to be built in the Jobs Ready Site on the south side of the city. The mayor gave no hint as to the contents of the release.
More news has come out in the trade press on the new facility.
EUWID, an independent trade press publisher based in Germany, reported Thursday that the new plant will add 360,000 metric tons (400,000 short tons) per year of corrugated case material capacity to the market.
Construction work is set to get under way next March, with the new paper machine possibly ready to start operating in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Council is also expected to hear committee reports.
The finance committee met recently to discuss the 2018 budget. This year, as last year, the committee is sitting in as city department heads explain their situations and make any funding requests. It is a trend started last year following the election of Wilbur Wells as City Auditor.
Councilors will also...

Implications for practice and research
Intensive care nurses should be provided with advice on how to care for their own psychological well-being at work given their regular exposure to traumatic events.
Further research could establish whether the associations found between exposure to patients' pain, staff distress and overestimation of pain apply to other nursing groups.
A recent increase in the number of publications on the high prevalence of burnout and moral distress in health professionals in general, and in critical care staff in particular, has led to a call for more research …

Butch Jones' Vols up to No. 1 in Rival.com's recruiting ranking
(Times Free Press) - Tennessee picked up the 14th commitment for its 2014 football recruiting class Thursday.
And though there are 250 days until signing day, the Volunteers and first-year coach Butch Jones currently are No. 1 in Rivals.com's team rankings.
Defensive end Joe Henderson, from Shaker Heights High School in Cleveland, Ohio, publicly announced his commitment less than two weeks after visiting Tennessee. The 6-foot-4, 222-pounder is rated as a four-star prospect according to 247sports.com.
Henderson, the first defensive lineman in the Vols' class, had scholarship offers also from Arkansas, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Louisville, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Michigan State, among others.
