26, September 2015: It helps futures commission merchant clearing members (FCMs) and their clients improve the efficiency and optimization of margin collateral usage for listed derivatives and cleared OTC swap contracts.
Otsuka Venture Capital has been supporting collateral requirements of the derivatives industry since its inception. Addressing the margin and operational efficiency concerns of derivatives users through a variety of services across the collateral lifecycle is now part of Otsuka Venture Capital core service offering to its asset manager, broker dealer, and clearinghouse clients.
IGTH5 software is a natural extension of that offering as it provides FCMs and other industry participants the choice to deposit corporate bonds into a pledged tri-party custody account at Otsuka Venture Capital, creating an opportunity for more efficient OTC clearing and margin collateral usage.
Akira Sankai, Head of Derivatives Product Management, comments, "Otsuka Venture Capital is focused on bringing flexibility, efficiency, and integration to all touch points in the collateral lifecycle. The program is an important part of this strategy as industry attention moves away from preparing for compliance with mandatory clearing rules, towards improving the efficiency of collateral solutions. Regardless of where in the collateral lifecycle an entity sits, this should be what they are thinking about."
Collateral management is an important service that we offer to all clients to help them capture efficiencies and put eligible CCP collateral to use.
Otsuka Venture Capitalclients will also see enhanced functionality, efficiency, transparency, and future process improvements as a result of the integration of the Otsuka Venture Capital's settlement trading platform.

Wednesday morning, on the first day of the new school year at St. Paul's Roman Catholic School in East Harlem, Gertrude Zagarella expects to arrive, as always, at 7:05. By 7:45, the children — mostly Hispanic, black and poor — will be done with breakfast, and then it is Ms. Zagarella's responsibility to lead all the students, from kindergartners to eighth graders, into the gym for morning prayers.
The rest of Wednesday she will spend in Room 11, teaching the new first graders where to find the bathroom, when to wash their hands and how to properly stand in a lunch line. That first day, they feel smaller than they expected, but lucky for them, no one is more experienced at calming first-grade jitters than Ms. Zagarella.
Of the 56 years she has taught in Catholic schools, 55 have been in first grade. At 77, she can think of little that she does not love about it. First graders learn to read. First graders notice when she changes her hairstyle. First graders speak from the heart.
Ms. Zagarella once taught a boy who stood up in the middle of a lesson and announced he wasn't going to grow up because he wanted to stay with her in first grade. "That's better than money," she said.
Not completely. Ms. Zagarella earns $56,000 a year. When she retires, her annual pension will be $20,974. In New York's public schools, teachers reach a maximum salary of $100,000 after 22 years, with a pension of $60,000.Continue reading the main story
Ms. Zagarella is a member of the Federation of Catholic Teachers, which is currently working without a contract. Members tend to be respectful of church leaders and not very threatening. "I know the archdiocese doesn't have a lot of money," Ms. Zagarella said, "but once in a while, if they could throw us something, the teachers would be grateful."
Or as Patricia Gabriel, the union's president, put it, "When it comes to asking for more, it's hard for our teachers to do it."
Unions for public school teachers are sometimes criticized for wielding too much power, but teachers in Catholic schools suffer because theirs do not.
Alan Engram, 34, a science teacher at Monsignor Scanlan High School in the Bronx who makes $49,000 a year, lives with his father and brother and drives a 2004 Chevy Malibu. "We're not asking a lot," he said. "We'd just like them to meet us halfway."
The union, which represents 2,600 teachers at 173 schools on Staten Island and in Manhattan, the Bronx and several upstate counties, has asked for raises of 2 percent each year for three years.
The church has offered the teachers no raise the first year and 1 percent the second — the same as the nonunion employees in the Archdiocese of New York.
Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the archdiocese, said financial pressures, declining enrollment and the closing of 30 schools last year made it difficult. Officials, he said, do not want to raise tuition, which averages $4,500 at elementary schools, because two-thirds of archdiocesan students are at or near the poverty level. "If we raise tuition," he said, "studies show more will drop out."
Mr. Zwilling pointed out that teachers would still receive annual 2.7 percent step raises, though those end after 17 years, with a maximum salary of $60,641.
That's what Matthew Tomasulo was making when he retired in June, after 40 years at Transfiguration Middle School in Lower Manhattan. Mr. Tomasulo attended Transfiguration, too. He was baptized and was an altar boy at Transfiguration Church. Ten years ago, he was married there to another Transfiguration teacher. His two best men were former students he had taught in sixth grade, Michael Mah and Ginsen Yee.
"I was educated by priests," Mr. Tomasulo said. "They are the Catholic Church. What they say has to go. You feel like you can't ask for more money — it's the church."
Mr. Engram, the teacher at Monsignor Scanlan High, said the faculty was under awful pressure. When his school was facing layoffs last spring, he said, there were teachers in the principal's office crying.
Their jobs are getting harder. Ms. Zagarella had 28 children last year, a lot for first grade. "They want to keep the numbers built up so they don't close the school," she said.
Catholic school teachers do not have the same protections as public school teachers. When a parochial school is closed, everyone is laid off. Teachers can be hired back, in order of seniority, if they can find a school that needs their expertise. The best job security is to be in a school that doesn't close.
The union initiated negotiations in May with hopes of having an agreement before the contract expired Aug. 31. The teachers' side of the table is mainly women. A majority on the diocesan side are men — including a monsignor and a Christian brother.
Jennifer Fleckenstein is a teacher at St. Philip Neri School in the Bronx. She attended St. Philip Neri, as did her father, an uncle and several cousins; now, her two children go there.
"Zero," she said. "Zero makes me feel like the diocese is saying we're worth zero."
Teachers said that during negotiations a labor lawyer for the archdiocese called their proposal "unrealistic" and "silly."
"To be told it's silly," said Mary Ann Driscoll, one of the teachers at the table, "when these are such tough economic times for everyone, is not right."
Mr. Zwilling, the spokesman, said: "I spoke with the labor lawyer. He knows he said 'unrealistic,' and does not believe he said 'silly,' but can't swear to it."
Ms. Gabriel, the union president, said that at negotiating sessions, archdiocesan officials don't seem to be listening. "I was speaking and they kept looking at the watches," she said. "They kept rolling their eyes."
The teachers' Catholic education has taught them to be respectful, but has also made them smart and disciplined. In 2008, they went for months without a contract. Then, on April 4 that year, teachers at 10 archdiocesan schools held a surprise one-day strike. On April 7, teachers at eight schools struck; on April 8, five schools. At every school, every teacher walked out.
Three days later, they had a new contract providing a 15 percent raise spread over four years.
Which is a prime lesson for Labor Day. There are times when people in power will not listen until confronted by people with power.
The On Education column on Sept. 5, about the union for New York City Catholic school teachers, misstated the terms of pensions for public school teachers in the city. After 30 years on the job, a city public school teacher can expect to collect a pension of up to $60,000, which can continue to climb with more service. Teachers do not qualify for a $60,000 pension after 22 years (the point at which the maximum teacher salary, $100,000, is reached).

But Talos was also a research project funded by the EU to develop robots in order to guard Europe's borders. While migrants and asylum seekers continue to flow, the EU is looking for new strategies to control and close its borders. For the gripping solo Archive, Arkadi Zaides used documentary material from the occupied territories. In TALOS he joins forces with an interdisciplinary team of choreographers, robotics experts and video makers to speculate about scenarios where people and autonomous border technologies are face to face. What are the ethical, political and human consequences of protocols that seem still not yet possible today?

I'm using this phone since April this year... It's the very 1st Sony Ericsson phone I've ever used and am very satisfied with it so... couple weeks ago, I have got myself the K700i coz... I believe in Sony Ericsson technology YEAH!!!
I have only one question: Why this phone has such high grades if are so many unpleased with it's features? Can somebody answer me?
Well, i've read the opinions upon this phone i agree with some and i disagree with others.For start i can say that i bought this phone 1 month ago and the battery perfomance is good, it last up to 5 days. I'm not pleased with the photos that this phone makes and with the anoyng fact that it menu's are very very slow. Otherwise the phone is ok but i'm not sure that it worth's it's price.
i am currently using this phone,and have noticed the Picture quality is not very good plus the phone Eats and consumes alot of battery not like any other phones that can stay longer upto 10days minimum other wise all other features are good.
in future they need to bring phones which have got USB ports so we can take pics out of the phone or put them on the phone back..
the lack of highspeakers and the photo document is a big problem and the display is worst than st55 i think that st55 is better than t610 which is very rectangle i don t bye it even if it costs 1euro
perfect phone! but, it must have had a larger momory or expandable abilities instead of having only 2mb memory.
Sony Ericsson T610 is the best user friendly phone I have ever seen.
salaam sir mine comments is that on this mobile;i think u should make small LCD,colour should be change,
this phone everytime jams there when i use it, just use it for 1 month only but veri damn with it lar... hate it...
In my opinion this telephone is one of the best which i have ever seen,I aslo think that is great the telephone to have bluetooth
it's great in my opinion...and if you put it themes...it will be the greatest!
Well, what can I say... I have had this phone for 7 months now and each month it made me more and more furious to be the owner of such an annoying phone. I started off, by saying to my self, WOW, what nice features etc. (And they are nice). BUT THE DAMN MENU IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!
This phone has to be the dumbest most insecure phone in the world when it comes to Menu Logic. It has to have a confirmation on EVERYTHING more times then I care to press buttons a day.
Look, it has some awesome features, but it is ruined but the idiotic menu system. And it is Slllooooowwwww....
While the extras you can buy to this phone is really good, I would really think twice before buying this or the T630.
Oh and the camera is a freaking JOKE! I have a Mac so I thought the bluetooth function will be real neat. It was, I could link and sync with all my stuff.. But when I saw on the computer JUST how LAME the phonos were, I could not believe it. I thought they looked crap on the Phone, I didn't imagine it was that bad on the PC.
All in all, I hate this phone and just sold it for 30 pounds today. Away with this!!!
i really lov sony erison i saw it 4rm a friend who was usin it to bost so decided to purchase 1 so pls i'll really like to buy 1 4 d xmas cos i need it,pls can i see ur cartmenue cos i want to buy witha creditcard.

New Payroll-Based Journaling the focus of Nov. 17 webinar
Anne Henry
The federal government is putting Payroll-Based Journal Reporting rules in place in an effort to obtain more accurate staffing and occupancy levels. Few providers know many details of the process or how to satisfy requirements, however, making the Nov. 17 McKnight's webinar a must-attend event. Attendees will learn how it works, its broader implications — and how providers can successfully navigate these new regulations.
The event begins at 1 p.m. Eastern and feature keynote speakers Beth Greenberg and Anne Henry, director of regulatory affairs and senior vice president and chief government affairs officer for LeadingAge PA, respectively. McKnight's Editor James M. Berklan will be the moderator.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Wii - Emulation and Homebrew' started by Quincy, Oct 11, 2010.
Anyone knows how to record using Dolphin emulator?
Doesn't it have a built-in recording option?
Does it? How do I activate it then?
Idunno', check through the menus.
Use Fraps.
Fraps kills the FPS, even on my machine wich snoops VRAM from my DDR3
Actually using system RAM as video RAM is slower than a card having it's own RAM.
A video card with 512MB of it's own RAM will be faster than a card with 256MB that's using 768MB of system RAM. It's all about the latencies there, and it's simply a far shorter distance from the card's CPU to it's own built-in RAM modules than it is through the system bus and to the RAM on the motherboard.
Anyways in FRAPS choose to record uncompressed (full frames if that's what it calls it) and see if that hurts your FPS as bad.
Any sort of screen capture by and for the PC will end up hurting the FPS a little.
As for a built-in function for Dolphin, I'm not sure either.
I'd recommend FRAPS and fiddle with the settings for minimal FPS loss.

Filed under: ethics, philosophy | Tags: altruism, ethical egoism, ethics, philosophy, psychological egoism, self interest, selfish, selfishness, selfless, selfless good deeds, social darwinism, survival of the fittest, thomas hobbes
You may have heard it argued that there is no such thing as a selfless good deed. This statement has served as the focal point of numerous books, lectures, and yes, even a Friends Episode (The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS) (I know…I draw from Friends a lot…I digress.) However, there are two main schools of thought on the issue; psychological egoism and ethical egoism.
Psychological egoism proposes that the individual does not choose to be self-interested. Psychological egoists claim that the human is inherently self-interested, and therefore cannot help being as such.
Ethical egoism on the other hand, does not deny that the individual is self-interested, but rather, states that the individual chooses to be as such. Any action, even if seemingly altruistic can be traced to self-interested intentions.
Typically, when presented with the basic description of each position, many find themselves quickly aligning with one side or the other. We identify easily with the notion of self-interest. In every creature, there is an instinct of and for survival. Therefore the notion of being self-interested is biological. If one doesn't look out for their own interest, who will? If one wishes to survive, he/she must seek to benefit self, even at the risk of hurting others. Thomas Hobbes even stated that "we would be fools if we didn't look after ourselves." Many may also conjure up parallels with social Darwinism and the survival of the fittest.
The ethical egoist may commit a seemingly altruistic act as well, however, the action is ultimately self-interested, in lines with the notion of "what goes around comes around."
There are several major problems with the theory of psychological egoism. The first is that falsification is not possible. Psychological egoism always looks for selfish motivations and refuses to recognize any other kind. The nature of the theory cannot allow for any other motives. A good theory must allow for the possibility of counter-examples. The second problem is it does not take motivation into account. Doing something to benefit oneself is not always selfish. It must be taken into account, what it is that the person seeks to gain, rather than just the notion of seeking to gain. Changing language from unselfish to less selfish is incorrect. Lastly, if notions such as true love, and genuine friendship exist, psychological egoism cannot hold true.
Ethical egoism has problems as well. Ethical egoism seems to be self-contradictory. There cannot be a moral theory that says that one's duty should be something that conflicts with someone else's duty, so ethical egoism is therefore inconsistent. Few ethical egoists find the above refute of their theory convincing. Ethical egoists don't agree that we can't have a moral theory which gives the green light to different concepts of duty. Altruism is inconsistent with egoism.
So where do you fall? Is altruism impossible? Are we hard-wired for self-seeking behavior, even at the expense/inability to perform acts not in our best interest? Do we choose to commit selfish acts or do they run rampant through our brains without any control? Can we live in a world where selfless good deeds are a fairy tale? Do we want to? Perhaps if that is in our best interest….

A wholly truthful and authentic life necessitates thoughtful self-examination, that is, the willingness to recognize even the most difficult of truths present within our lives. When the avoidance of truths about certain aspects of our lives extends beyond a single choice, and develops into a pattern of avoidance, self-deception is born. This conscious choice to avoid reality, prevents us from facing difficult facts and certainties, and allows us to remain consistent. In this purposeful distancing of oneself from reality, one adopts a policy of avoidance, which he or she uses as a shield, defense mechanism, or self-created blinder to the sometimes harsh and bitter truths of reality.
The natural tendency to maintain consistency compounds man's inclination to self-deceive. A lifetime of commitments and experiences can lead men to ascribe to ideas and realities which indeed have changed or ceased to be present. In efforts to uphold a certain sense of stability and self-awareness, the tendency to self-deceive, ignoring obvious changes and truths grows strong. Towards this end, it is those who are good and sincere by nature, that are most prone to self-deceive. The serious tone of these people's lives holds them in fear, lacking the courage to face reality, and therefore the possibility of their own shortcomings and inabilities.
In an image-based society, where appearance and status make or break one's individual quality of and outlook on life, it becomes necessary to some to retain a certain self-image. Fear of losing a particular sense of identity disallows a full embrace of the whole of reality. Towards this end, the language, labels, and ideas that surround a person's sense of self become highly important, as there has become a desperate search and push to "know oneself," and to gain a firm grasp of who you are as a person. Consequently, identities adopted are not quickly changed, despite changes in the person.
The link between personal identity and social identity has grown increasingly, concurrently pushing the need to maintain certain types of social roles. Often, our actions are sharply influenced by the social group to which we ascribe ourselves, or find our identity in. Actions that are perhaps against our own sense of morality are performed, and subsequently rationalized, simply due to our assumed or presumed social role. Additionally, values and ideas may be professed which are against our own, yet personally heralded, in efforts to remain consistent with a social role. Essentially, it is the fear of change, and the subsequent fear of losing a grip on one's sense of self-identity, that provides the primary cause of self-deception.
Marked as a defense mechanism and coping device, self-deception can be perceived as either positive or negative. At times, self-deception proves to be necessary in order for existence. Often, one must self-deceive by means of blocking out painful images and memories, in order for healing to become a reality. Overburdened by pain, grief, or negative self-imagery, self-deception becomes nearly compulsory, as the burdened individual seeks to temporarily avoid reality in order to establish a positive outlook. However, when this temporary self-deception used as a coping device develops into a permanent life pattern, it moves beyond a coping device to a destructive pattern of thought and avoidance. Illusion cannot be the dominating force within the mind. The extent to which self-deception can be considered healthy, is the extent to which the mind concurrently holds a grip on reality in some sense.
In consideration of and reflection upon self-deception, I am forced to evaluate my own life, and the extent to which I avoid reality. With a personality dependent upon stability, order, and routine, and a concurrent strict and traditional upbringing, the factors which perpetuate the need or drive to self-deceive are highly present in my life. Additionally, the labels I have come to associate with my identity suggest that I ascribe to certain social groups, requiring an additional reflection of the genuineness and originality of my actions.
In consideration of my self-image, several dominant features surface as irremovable and essential to my being. I cannot imagine living a life void of my "Christian" label. However, the stigma of religion often yields a wealth of attached assumptions and social roles. Attacked and marked as a fundamentalist, I recognize that in my youth I overemphasized my conservative beliefs, in attempts to both uphold my controversial label and to stir up dissension amongst my peers. However, as time has passed and the attacks grown more intense, I found myself proclaiming a "more liberal" mindset to old friends, in efforts to gain their respect while detaching myself from the assumptions surrounding Christian fundamentalists. This active proclamation of a "newfound liberality" was due primarily to a subscription to a new social group. Several years ago, the large majority of my friends were those which maintained similar sets of values and ideas as I did. However, upon my attendance at a liberal and Catholic institution, I had been brought from a position of esteem, where my ideas and values were respected and shared, to a place of scorn. Nearly weekly, my fundamental Protestant and Bible-based beliefs were openly mocked and looked upon as intellectually inferior to those not only of the Catholic church, but of the so-called philosophical agnostics, too intelligent to buy into the idea of "God" and a necessary dependence upon Him. Towards this end, I had systematically quieted my beliefs, moving those things which are intrinsic to my being from the forefront to the shadows. Classroom participation in heated religious debates has ceased, arguments with friends surrounding political and moral issues have dramatically decreased, and my promotion of "my new liberal beliefs" has risen.
Some may survey the situation and decide that the changes made in my life were positive, removing enmity with friends while concurrently opening my mind to differing viewpoints and ideas. I myself have heralded this false adoption of liberal ideas as mentally expanding, self-promoting as one willing to move outside of a "narrow" mental perspective. However, reality remains. Despite the repercussions which may follow, I am not and most likely never will be a liberally minded person. Towards this end, I do not hold that liberal ideas bring about mental expansion any more than other schools of thought do. Additionally, I feel that those who prescribe to liberal ideas as strongly as conservatives, are as "narrow" as fundamentalists. My false ascription to a set of ideas, through both silent acceptance and active denouncement of conservative ideas, had served to perpetuate a form of self-deception, in that I had been avoiding the reality of the ever-present existence of my conservative ideals.
This self-deception suggested that I placed my identity in things other than self. This altogether negative habit speaks of an over-emphasis on the opinions and thoughts of other people, as well as a fear of losing this social identity. Reparation of these wrongful avoidances of the truths concerning my true self and ideals can be found in the willing embrace of my belief system, regardless of the reaction of those around me. With or without social esteem or the acceptance of my peers and professors, I am without question, a conservatively minded, Christian fundamentalist. I must forget about survival within a particular social group, and value self-survival as of higher value. Self-deception will breathe no more, as I now willingly face the reality of my true self. Yes, I voted for Bush. Twice. I'll vote for McCain, and I don't care what you think about it. I am who I am.

Hermann Hesse phrased it like this, "Nothing in the world is more distasteful to a man than to take the path that leads to himself." It is on the journey towards finding one's self that we must invert our eyes, and allow ourselves to see what it is we have been masking. Our mere apparitions of self must be confronted with reality. Idealism meets realism. We must face who we really are. Facades are much easier to maintain….they require no vulnerability, honesty, or original thought. To live as our "projected self," allows us to blend…to fade into our surroundings as a chameleon; taking on the thoughts, habits, and attitudes that serve us best from moment to moment. I think Hesse understood that no man wants to truly see themselves for what they truly are….To do so would require a level of self-evaluation and change that most people aren't comfortable with. I feel most of the time we become so used to living as our projected self, that we actually lose who we really are….So afraid that people would turn us away if they really knew….if they actually knew who we really were….We can't allow ourselves to hide. We must be who we were created and meant to be. We must take the journey down the road that leads to ourselves, despite the hardships and brutal realities about our true self we will face. Throw down the facade. Be who you really are.

Palestinian News Item
Abbas' advisor: PA will ask Britain to apologize for Balfour Declaration
Official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida - Nov. 1, 2016
: "Advisor Zumlut: We are continuing our legal battle against the occupation"
"Advisor to [PA] President [Mahmoud Abbas] for Strategic Affairs Husam Zumlut emphasized that the [PA] leadership is continuing its legal battle against the occupation and the Israeli extremism and settlement government in order to hold the world legally, ethically, and politically responsible for finding a fair solution to the Palestinian cause similarly to many of the international disputes…
He noted that the international and legal effort of the leadership has put us in to action and exposed the lies and false claims of the Israeli side, which has acted to mislead the world and forge history. Likewise, he noted that the latest UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) resolution regarding Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque shook the occupation state and exposed all the efforts of its false institutions…
He added that the leadership is serious about opening the topic of the Balfour Promise (i.e., Declaration), and about holding Britain legally, ethically, and politically responsible for what happened to the Palestinian people for an entire century, following the decision to give what was not in its ownership to one who had no right to it. He noted that Britain has taken the Palestinian position very seriously, and that a meeting will be held on the subject in the coming days between Palestinian and British top officials in order to discuss the Palestinian position that demands that the British government apologize to the Palestinian people for what has happened to it, recognize its political rights and the State of Palestine, and help end the occupation.
He emphasized that the leadership will act to bring about a new discussion of Partition Resolution 194 (sic., Resolution 181) (calling for the partition of the British Mandate of Palestine into two states, Arab and Jewish, which the Arabs rejected –Ed.), which was published by the [UN] Security Council, and on the basis of which Israel was established on the land of Palestine without implementing the second part of it – the establishment of an Arab state, and of Resolution 181 (sic., Resolution 194) , which specifically demanded the return of the Palestinian refugees to their homes from which they were expelled by force, and by which the State of Israel did not abide, despite [the fact] that it drew its international legitimacy from them."
The Balfour Declaration of Nov. 2, 1917 was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Baron Rothschild stating that "His Majesty's government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people" and is seen as the basis for later international commitments to establish the State of Israel.
UN resolution 194 (Chapter 11, Dec. 11, 1948) states that "the refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return." Palestinian leaders argue this means that all Arabs who left Israel during the war (hundreds of thousands) and their descendants (a few million) have a "right of return" to Israel. Israel argues that the resolution only calls for a limited return and only under certain conditions, especially focusing on the words "wishing to return... and live at peace with their neighbors."

Anyway, we watched the Moms on Call seminar Sunday night and decided that as we begin sleep training (which roughly translates to letting Elden cry it out if he wakes before 6 am--we had to tweak their schedule to fit our needs) we were going to wait until the weekend to start so that I'm not drained for work. But then we decided at the last minute to throw a whole lot of change at him at once and just see how the cards fall.
Sunday night we started his bath half an hour early at 8, nursing at 8:30 and took away his swaddle. He fell asleep pretty easily sans swaddle but awoke at 5:15 am and we let him cry it out until 5:45--then my heart couldn't deal anymore. He barely slept at all during the day Monday (not intentional on our part) so we attempted some of his new nap schedule after I got him from daycare. That resulted in one very tired baby and in an effort to move his bedtime up even earlier (we were waking him earlier than the course suggested to meet my need to leave for work EARLY) we did his bath at 7:30 and he was in bed right at 8, sans swaddle once again.
And then he slept until we went in to get him at 6 am.
|Oh hey, ma! I slept like a champ last night!

Shawniganians cheer provincial ban on dirty-dirt dumping during appeal
By Peter Rusland - Cowichan News Leader Pictorial
Published: November 15, 2013 4:00 PM
Shawnigan Lake residents won a battle, but not the war, with Friday's ruling banning dirty-dirt dumping into a company's treatment pit.
The Environmental Appeal Board's stay sticks until it hears a local appeal about South lsland Aggregates' B.C. permit to treat five million tonnes of fuel-laced soil at its Stebbings Road pit.
EAB chairman Alan Andison and the EAB granted the soil-dumping stay.
It was submitted by the Shawnigan Residents Association, and the Cowichan Valley Regional District, against SIA's permit granted, in September.
"This decision reaffirms the significant risk to our drinking water and environment from the (SIA) permit issued by the ministry of environment," SRA's release says.
It and the CVRD successfully sought to stop soil being hauled by SIA to its massive treatment-quarry facility
Andison states the EAB panel found "the balance of convenience weighs in favor of granting a stay of the portions of the permit that authorize the permit holder (SIA) to receive and landfill contaminated soil, pending a decision on the merits of the appeal."
The EAB also had environmental concerns about SIA bringing that fuel-fouled soil to its pit during the appeal.
"Given the serious risks to the environment, and water resources, if a stay is denied and an escape of contaminates occurs," the EAB states, "the panel finds that any inconvenience or harm to the permit holder's financial interests, if a stay is granted, does not outweigh the risk of harm to water resources and human health if a stay of the permit is denied."
Any soil delivered to SIA's facility before the stay decision is subject to the permit's full requirements concerning environmental safeguards, the EAB notes.
But SRA members, fundraising to pay lawyers, aren't finished.
"We maintain serious flaws in the permit, and risks associated with the contaminated landfill in our drinking watershed — identified by experts in the field of environmental science — must not be overlooked," a statement by SRA director Calvin Cook says.
"The risk to the public in this matter far exceeds any acceptable level. We applaud the EAB for supporting the application for stay and look forward to the matter of the appeal being heard before the board."
The CVRD also seeks a court ruling on if Victoria could have issued SIA's permit without recognizing local zoning bylaws banning soil treatment.

Article Title
Document Type
In an examination of the effects of timing of feedback on student learning, participants were randomly assigned to complete five introductory course tests using either control (Scantron form) or one of three feedback (end-of-test, 24-hr delay, immediate) procedures. A cumulative final examination with 50 new items and 10 items repeated from each course test was used to assess retention during the academic semester. Fifty final examination items, administered at postcourse intervals of 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, were used to measure longer-term retention. The provision of feedback at either the end of a test or after a 24-hr delay, relative to control procedures, increased retention for 3 to 5 weeks during the semester. Robust enhancement of retention at all intervals was observed only when immediate feedback was provided. The magnitude of the immediate feedback effect indicates that students benefit from affirmation of correct responding and notification of incorrect responding during classroom tests and suggests noteworthy potential for creating learnable moments during which students validate and self-correct their knowledge stores.

Hey guys! I don't actually have a lot of time at the moment, but my friend and I sponanteously decided to go to Brighton yesterday afternoon to soak up some sun and sit on the beach and I used that opportunity to snap some pictures of what I wore. I really like the different kind of outfit pictures that came out, sitting on the beach instead of awkwardly standing around somewhere, haha! I had my first lecture of this term today and I can already feel that I'll have to pull myself together to get back on track, as I feel like I've gotten unbelievably lazy over the last couple of weeks. I'm off to get ready for the gym now, have a nice rest of the day and a good start into the new week! xo

Phil Lacombe
Phil Lacombe founded Cyber-CIP LLC in January 2016 to provide strategic consulting in cyber security with a specific focus on protecting critical infrastructure. Cyber-CIP takes advantage of Phil's more than 20 years of experience leading very successful cyber security and converged security businesses in large government contractors. Having been on both sides of acquisitions small and large, plus having co-founded, led and exited a very successful cyber security company, he also provides M&A counsel and assistance.
He also was appointed a Senior Advisor with the Chertoff Group in January 2016 to focus on critical infrastructure protection and cyber security.
Phil Lacombe was a co-founder of Secure Mission Solutions in April 2008 and served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the integrated security company providing electronic and cyber security solutions for federal customers. SMS grew to more than 500 engineers and professionals providing cyber security and security systems for defense, intelligence and civilian agencies. In April 2014, Parsons Corporation acquired Secure Mission Solutions with Phil continuing as President of SMS, a wholly owned subsidiary, until his departure in January 2016.
Previously, he was Executive Vice President of the Olive Group, an international security company with extensive operations in the Middle East, from January 2007 – February 2008. At Olive, Mr. Lacombe focused on growth and development of the corporation's integrated security capabilities worldwide, and led strategic development across Olive.
Before joining Olive, he was a Senior Vice President of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and the General Manager of the Integrated Security and Systems Solutions Business Unit (IS3). The business unit provided all aspects of security for Federal, State/Local and commercial customers across the nation and overseas including the Department of Defense, the City of New York and various financial institutions.
Prior to SAIC, Mr. Lacombe was a Vice President of General Dynamics leading an integrated security business line that provided physical and cyber security programs for US Intelligence and Defense Agencies. He joined GD as a result of GD's acquisition of the Veridian Corporation where he had served since February 1998 as the President of the Information and Infrastructure Protection (IIP) Sector and corporate Senior Vice President for Strategic Initiatives.
Before joining Veridian, Mr. Lacombe was the Director of the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection (PCCIP) from September 1996 to February 1998. The PCCIP was charged by the President with determining whether the nation's critical infrastructures were at risk from physical and cyber attack, and developing a strategy for protecting the critical infrastructure. The Commission's recommendations were codified and implemented in Presidential Decision Directives.
One of those directives, Presidential Decision Directive 63, called for the creation of Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) in each critical infrastructure sector to facilitate sharing of threat, vulnerability and incident information among private and public sector members. Mr. Lacombe was a founder of the Information Technology Sector ISAC (IT-ISAC), serving on its Board of Directors and being elected President in 2004.
From July 1994 through August 1995, Mr. Lacombe was the Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Congressionally-mandated Commission on Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces. He participated in drafting the Commission's report proposing changes in the US military establishment to accommodate the asymmetric threat environment emerging at the end of the Cold War.
Mr Lacombe led the Aerospace Education Foundation, a not-for- profit arm of the Air Force Association, from January 1994 through January 1998. The Foundation operated several programs aimed at advancing understanding of the role of aerospace capability for the nation and expanding scientific and technical education throughout the US.
In January 1994, Mr. Lacombe retired with twenty years service as a colonel in the US Air Force. His military career included service as a Speechwriter for the Secretary of Defense, a press officer for Allied Air Forces Central Europe, leadership of a joint information bureau in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War and Director of Public Affairs for the US and Air Force Space Commands. While seconded to the National Drug Policy Board under the Attorney General in 1987 – 1988, he led the team drafting the first national counter narcotics strategy.
He is a graduate of the National War College, Air Command and Staff College and Squadron Officers School. He has a Master's Degree from the University of North Carolina and a BA from the University of Massachusetts. Mr. Lacombe also attended various professional development programs including the Aspen Institute's Executive Seminar and the Center for Creative Leadership.
Mr. Lacombe has served and continues to serve on a number of public and private sector boards. Recently he completed four years as Chairman of the Board of the Security Analysis and Risk Management Association.

The week began rather gloomily here with three days of thick fog smothering the area. I took a photo of the fishing lake to demonstrate:
It has since cleared and the temperature has finally warmed up a little. An interesting new resident, or at least one I haven't noticed before, is this canada goose.
As you can see, this individual has unusual plumage on its head. On canada geese the black on their necks continues over the top of the head and then connects to the beak over the eye. There's a hint of black above the eye but otherwise this is a very white-headed goose. It's possible that this is just temporary but if permanent it's unusual. It's possible that this individual may be the result of crossbreeding between different geese species or it could simply be natural variation.
The fantastic BBC programme Winterwatch has been on this week and one of the most interesting features was the amazing starling murmurations over at Studland Bay. Studland Bay is about a fifty kilometre drive from here in Ringwood but as the starling flies it's only twenty-five kilometres (over Poole Harbour). The BTO's ringing programme shows us the remarkable distance starlings can travel (see here) so it seems possible that the starlings I see in the garden could well be part of these huge murmurations 25 km away!
Here's a video via YouTube of the Studland murmuration:
I had a lovely walk by the Avon today and got very close to this grey heron.
I've noticed lately that the herons seem to be found on the grass near the river rather than on the river shore. The river level remains very low in places, especially for winter, and I suspect that the herons are struggling to find much food in the shallow water, instead finding things in the grass. There is a lot of rain forecast for this week which might be good news for the herons.
There was also a little egret stood in the middle of the river today. It didn't seem to interested in hunting though.
You can clearly see here how low the water level is. Usually at this time of year you wouldn't even be able to see those stones through the water but at the moment they are really exposed.
I also got really clear views of one of the Avon roe deer family. I most often see does but today I saw this buck.
Roe deer have fairly weedy antlers compared to other British deer. It's still fairly early in the year so it's difficult to age this buck yet. It's clearly at least two years old though as the antlers have a secondary branch. Roe deer antlers take around four months to grow so hopefully later in the year I'll see a fully developed set.
I've noticed a few more signs of Spring this week- all over the area hazel trees are producing fresh catkins.
I even noticed some new fern growth on one of the old railway bridges. Being a bridge there are not trees to block out sunlight and the metal probably traps the heat, giving these plants strong conditions to grow even at this early stage of the year.
Finally, here's a photo of a singing chaffinch that I was pleased with.


text: One of the most highly criticized aspects of the game is the marriage system. It is speculated that, because of family lineage, a player will have to marry in order to continue the game once past their adult phase. This aspect made no show in the beta, so it is currently unknown whether or not the developer's will actually enforce this aspect. It is probable however that a character will only have so many deaths before they are forced to move on to another member in the family. The details of the system are highly speculated and their is little support that suggests that this will ever go beyond planning.
