WARNINGS that public cuts to the tune of millions of pounds will drive residents into deeper poverty have been dismissed.
Portsmouth City Council agreed upon a programme to slash £13.1m from its budget next year at a meeting yesterday.
The move is being made due to cuts in government funding.
It means the termination of free public swimming for pensioners and teenagers, cuts to Dial-a-Ride and £5m savings in the adult social care service will now go ahead, as will a range of other cost-cutting measures.
Steve Bonner, vice-chairman of Portsmouth Pensioners' Association, warned the cuts hit residents over 70 hard and would 'lock them up in their homes'.
Karen Silman, who has had MS for 10 years, made a plea for the council to not drop Pete's Airlink as the operator for Dial-a-Ride. Instead it was agreed a not-for-profit group would pick it up.
Union members staged a demo before the meeting.
Kelly Tomlinson, community co-ordinator for the Unite union, said: 'A lot of people are already relying on food banks so further cuts to public services will drive people into poverty even more.'
Jon Woods, of Portsmouth Trades' Council, warned employees were already being run 'ragged' in their jobs.
The Tory administration wants to freeze council tax for another year and a £500,000 pot of cash is being set aside for the voluntary sector to tap into.
The cost of keeping alive the city's counselling service will be met by Portsmouth Clinical Commissioning Group and a dedicated city clean team will be formed.
But the Lib Dems believed the cuts were cruel.
Cllr Gerald Vernon-Jackson, Lib Dem group leader, 'This is a budget that no-one could be proud of. It is a budget to attack the most vulnerable in the city.'
The group suggested cutting senior management posts from six to three and bringing in staff parking charges, netting £190,200 a year, or trimming back on the middle management tier across services – including education and health.
It was suggested there be a 25 per cent cut in councillors' special responsibility allowance, the removal of one of the cabinet members and the re-introduction of Southsea's MB and MC parking zones.
But the ideas were thrown out by parties and branded unrealistic.
Cllr Donna Jones, Tory council leader, said: 'It's high risk. Children would end up having adverse health problems and we would end up with a dirty city.'
Row reignited over public spending at Pyramids Centre
LABOUR councillors suggested a hike in council tax to help raise cash for public services.
The city group put forward an alternative budget proposing an increase of 1.95 per cent next year, meaning £12.5m worth of savings could be made next year instead of £13.1m.
Councillor John Ferrett, Labour group leader, also criticised the former Lib Dem council for entering into an agreement to continue providing funds to The Pyramids Centre.
'Since April 2011, while undergoing these cuts imposed by central government, taxpayers have wasted £6m on the Pyramids,' Cllr Ferrett said.
'This is no more than an obscene misuse of public and a sham.'
Lib Dem councillor Matthew Winnington said the proposals were 'disgraceful' and 'cutting' to hard-up residents.
Labour also called for a 20 per cent reduction in councillor allowances and the removal of two cabinet members.
But the amendments fell down as no-one aside from Labour voted for it.
While Ukip did not offer an alternative budget solution, the group criticised the government's level of foreign spending.
Cllr Colin Galloway, Ukip group leader, said: '£55m a day to be a member of the Europe club hardly seems value for money.'

Government defense contractor
ASTi is integrating its Simulated Environment for Realistic ATC (SERA) product into a pilot training system for a major government defense contractor. SERA is ASTi's response to the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO's) recommendation that flight simulators provide a Simulated Air Traffic Control Environment (SATCE) system. SERA provides this full flight military simulator with an immersive air traffic control (ATC) environment and voice interactions with controllers, ground crew, and other entities.
The challenge requirements are listed in blue; ASTi's applicable components are
Provide a SATCE solution with distinct speech from ATC and pilots on other aircraft.
During a training scenario, the customer's communication environment is sterile: only students and instructors talk on the airways. To increase realism, the program needs a rich radio environment that generates unique voices for every entity.
SERA creates dozens of different entities in the simulated world, from various ATC to commercial aircraft flying around the airspace. Each entity sounds like a different person, supplying contextually accurate chatter to the environment.
Provide a developed speech technology that seamlessly understands and responds to students without getting stuck.
Many SATCE solutions suffer from faulty speech recognition. During flights, they get stuck in error loops that constantly prompt the student to repeat his or her response. Instead of a training enhancement, the technology becomes a frustrating distraction.
ASTi provides top-notch speech recognition and synthetic speech for training applications. We've conducted extensive development and testing to ensure that SERA's speech recognition does not hinder training. SERA carefully listens to and interprets student responses, providing prompt and contextually accurate answers. As a result, students can focus on the training, not the technology.
Create repeatable diversions and events during a flight, allowing students to target specific weaknesses.
SERA allows instructors to plan out scenario events and diversions (e.g., runway incursions) before the flight begins. If the student goes off course, SERA uses the latest artificial intelligence technology to react and correct the error, just like real ATC.
Furnish accurate airport and navigation data that does not interfere with testing and certification.
Customers across programs share the benefit of new airports and data refinement. ASTi regularly updates SERA's data package every 28 days, ensuring information is always correct. SERA also uses the same data packages as the Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File (DAFIF) and Aeronautical Radio, Incorporated (ARINC) 424 specifications. As a result, SERA's updates do not interfere with the customer's testing and certification processes.
Assimilate SERA into the customer's existing simulator without significant development or configuration.
SERA works with a variety of simulators and can drive image generators in multiple formats, including Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS) and Common Image Generator Interface (CIGI). The host system and instructor operator station can communicate with SERA's public API. As a result, systems like traffic collision avoidance systems (TCAS) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) can understand SERA entities. Administrators and instructors can easily configure and manage these settings in the SERA web interface. Contact ASTi to learn more about custom integration options.

Did you know?
- Veteran's Day always falls on November 11th, no exceptions.
- In 1918, World War I ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when an armistice was signed declaring the "war to end all wars" was finally over.
- The next year on November 11th, the U.S. called the day "Armistice Day" in memory of all the men and women who served in WWI.
- Congress changed the name to Veterans Day in 1954.
- Veterans Day is a legal holiday in the U.S. to honor all who have served in the nation's armed forces.
Take A Moment To Thank A Veteran
When you see someone in a uniform
Someone who serves us all,
Doing military duty,
Answering their country's call,
Take a moment to thank them
For protecting what you hold dear;
Tell them you are proud of them;
Make it very clear.
Just tap them on the shoulder,
Give a smile, and say,
"Thanks for what you're doing;
To keep us safe in the USA!"

I was born in Halifax on June 18, 1941. My father was Leo William Connors, born on May 19, 1907 (d. 1980) and my mother was Elsie Margaret Harris, born on June 4, 1908 (d. 2004).
As you can see, my father was 10 and my mother was nine when the Halifax Explosion occurred.
My mother told me that she was in Grade 4 at the Catholic school. They had just had morning prayers and finished singing God save the King, when two girls from the north end arrived late, saying that a ship was on fire in the harbour.
Immediately after, the school was shaken by a large explosion. The windows of the classroom blew in, and a girl behind my mother was struck by a hanging flower pot and badly cut.
The nun attempted to lead the class out by the fire escape, but it had collapsed, so they went downstairs. The large oak main doors had blown in, and although the nuns attempted to organize the students outside, everyone took off for home.
She remembered the eerie silence as she raced home. Once there, at 172 Creighton Street, she found her mother (Hannah Calloway Harris) and her grandmother (Jane McGowan Calloway) hiding in the basement. They wanted her to go upstairs to fetch blankets, but she was too scared.
Her older sister, Hilda (1902-1999) arrived home, followed by her father (Richard Vinecove Harris) who had been looking for his daughters. He worked as a machinist at the dockyards.
Richard had several brothers and cousins, so the front door and windows that were broken were quickly boarded up. My mother said that they spent the winter living in the large back kitchen.
Years later, when the old horse barn was torn down, a large piece of twisted metal was found embedded in the roof.
My father was late for school that day. He lived on Birmingham Street. His father had been wounded earlier in 1917 and was in hospital in Scotland. His mother had three children, aged 2, 6 and 10.
She was a very nervous person and when Dad returned to see what had happened at home, he found her kneeling and screaming on the street, clutching the youngest.
She later was placed in the provincial home in Dartmouth and died the following year. The children were placed in the Catholic orphanage.
My father, who always looked for ways to earn money for his mother, went to the Western Union office to see if any telegrams needed to be delivered. He was paid a penny for a delivery.
That day, he tried to enter the north end but was turned back by the military, who had the area blocked off. He did say that he saw a wagon with bodies being carted away.
My mother told me that about 10 days after the Explosion, she was out shopping with her mother when they ran into a woman whom her mother knew.
The lady was still looking for the body of her oldest son who had turned 16 that fateful day. He had a job at the sugar refinery. She had packed him a lunch and kissed him goodbye and never saw him again. She had visited all the morgues, but never found his body.

By Jan Lopatka
PRAGUE (Reuters) - Ultimately Czech President Milos Zeman couldn't quite beat the parliamentary arithmetic, but he still emerged on Wednesday with the upper hand over old political rivals in his remarkable comeback from the wilderness.
While his prime minister lost a confidence motion, Zeman blithely told parliament before it had even voted that he would stay for some time - "even if you put me on the rack".
On the way to Wednesday's vote, the veteran left-winger pulled off a coup by persuading the Social Democrats - the party he fell out with a decade ago - to back the cabinet that he installed in June without consulting the parties.
In the end the votes of the Social Democratic Party (CSSD) did not save Prime Minister Jiri Rusnok, a close Zeman ally, from failing his first parliamentary test. But the vote also sowed divisions in the center-right, which makes early elections look more likely - as Zeman favors - in the absence of a stable majority that could claim the right to form a cabinet.
And the CSSD's reversal of its original opposition to the cabinet illustrates how Zeman, 68, has turned his fortunes around and is accumulating power that previous Czech presidents never held.
Zeman led the same Social Democrats in government as prime minister from 1998 to 2002, but he eventually left the country's largest center-left party after its leadership sank his first run for the presidency in 2003.
After a lost decade, he emerged from forced retirement to win the job he coveted in January this year in the Czech Republic's first direct presidential election - previous heads of state had been chosen by parliament.
Since then Zeman has been turning the largely ceremonial presidency into a center of power, sidelining parliament and the main political parties.
Commentators and opponents accuse him of flouting democratic conventions. But Zeman, an economic forecaster by training who draws his support from poorer Czechs beyond the capital Prague, has dismissed what he calls "media criticism of jealous fools".
Zeman has made the most of his powers since a center-right coalition fell in June over a scandal involving police charges of bribery and illegal snooping, and his action has been popular with voters angered by years of austerity and corruption.
Rusnok's cabinet has cleared out dozens of government and state officials before facing the confidence vote, drawing accusations that it was exceeding its mandate.
Zeman, who constitutionally has the power to appoint prime ministers, appears to have a limited regard for the will of parliament. Even before the vote, he said Rusnok would stay during police investigations into links between politicians and businessmen that contributed to the last government's demise.
"I have been assured this investigation will be concluded in several weeks and, I can assure you, even if you put me on the rack I will not make a second attempt (to form a cabinet) during those several weeks," he told parliament.
Supporters say Zeman has brought energy to the presidency, even though his predecessors - former anti-communist playwright Vaclav Havel and eurosceptic conservative Vaclav Klaus - carried weight at home and were widely known abroad.
"The Czech political scene was used to presidents who were just laying wreaths," said Jaroslav Foldyna, a Zeman supporter in the Social Democratic Party. "He has no further political ambitions, nothing to lose, and decided to sort things out."
Zeman doesn't fit the template of the polished, media-friendly modern politician. He is a burly, sausage-loving, heavy smoker who makes no secret of his liking for a drink, though after a recent diagnosis of diabetes the health minister says he needs to cut down on both tobacco and alcohol. He is quick to remind people that Winston Churchill, too, was a drinker, while Adolf Hitler was teetotal.
Zeman also makes no secret of his scorn for his critics, taking a particularly dim view of journalists. He has referred to the news media as a "cesspool" and "islands of negative deviation".
All this translates into an effective common touch, enough to draw 2.7 million votes, or 55 percent of the total, in the January election.
Zeman's circle includes former Communist officials and businessmen, including the head of a Czech unit of Russian oil firm Lukoil. During the presidential campaign, he appealed to nationalism and anti-German feelings still harbored by some Czechs more than six decades after the Nazi occupation.
Zeman studied economics and joined the Communist Party in the late 1960s as the ruling party was trying to push a liberal line. Months later the "Prague Spring" was crushed by a 1968 Soviet-led invasion, and, like many reform-minded members, he was purged from the party a couple of years later.
After the fall of communism in 1989, Zeman joined the newly recreated CSSD and nine years later led it in a minority government under a power-sharing deal with his chief opponent - and later president - Vaclav Klaus.
His government won credit for privatizing banks to foreign owners, forming a sound base for the financial system. However, critics say the power-sharing deal allowed a flourishing of corruption, which remains a major problem despite the Czech Republic's reforms and entry into the European Union in 2004.
In foreign policy, Zeman is a European federalist and wants the country to join the euro, but also has a soft spot for Russia.
Zeman spent much of his lost decade at his weekend house, although his continuing influence among Social Democrats and disdain for those who had scotched his presidential hopes, sowed divisions in the party that have still not healed.
In 2009, his disciples formed the "Citizens' Rights Party - The Zemanites" which carried him to the presidency. He has repaid their support, handing party officials and sympathizers spots in the presidential administration and cabinet.
"Zeman is behaving the way he has always known. He has power and knows how to use it: offer some of it to his allies and kick his enemies to the ground. He knows nothing else," wrote columnist Jindrich Sidlo.

According to scientists a glass of salted water has a very positive effect on the human body. Salted water helps in detoxification and self regeneration of your body. Drinking salted water each morning is a long practice in India and the Western world rejects this idea on the assumption that it's harmful to the human body. "The catch" is that water should be with natural unrefined salt, a pure sea salt. In this case, its healthy effect is guaranteed.
These are just some of the many benefits of drinking salted water as: balancing the blood sugar, strengthens the bones, regulates metabolism, strengthens immunity, strengthens the hormonal balance, has a good effect on varicose veins and many more. A glass of salted water has a nutritional value and it is rich in minerals, which the body quickly recognizes and binds them to itself.
Positive ions from the salt are associated with the negative ions of water molecules, and vice versa. The result is a new structure that the body absorbs great. Water is now not just a pure water, and salt is not only a salt. The combination is a balm for your health. All you need to do is to take a clear glass of lukewarm water and put in it one teaspoon of pure sea salt.
Here are amazing health benefits of drink a glass of salted water every morning:
1. Hydration
Nutritionist Matt Stone points out that if you drink only water for hydration of the body, you can overdo it, so the body becomes too full with fluid. Instead of pure water, it is advised to drink exactly this salted water, once a day.

Well, this hasn't been the best week in the history of weeks. It's been pretty tough, actually, but I won't get into everything here. Despite it all, I've still managed to scrounge up some favorites for you!
The Nightingale: I mentioned last week that The Nightingale was book No. 26 of 2017. I finished it on Wednesday, and I couldn't put it down for the entire second half of the book. It was dark and devastating and gritty and real, and I really enjoyed it. It's not an uplifting book — it did cause me to have a nightmare that I had been shot several times, but that's neither here nor there. We see all the time novels written about the heroic men of bygone wars, but this book celebrates the women, telling stories — based on real events! — that I had never heard before. It was remarkable.
Watching movies: I don't know who I've turned into, but I've watched five movies in the last week, which is totally unlike me. I tend to stick to TV shows, but for whatever reason I've found myself clicking onto longer features this week. Last Friday, I started off with What If, starring Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan (loved it). On Saturday, I got up early and saw The Big Sick (starring Kumail Nanjiani and Zoe Kazan) in an early bird feature at the movie theatre (REALLY loved it). Sunday, I watch To The Bone on Netflix, featuring Lily Collins as a young woman fighting an eating disorder (sad, but in a beautiful way, and ended on a positive note). I finally watched Moonlight on either Monday or Tuesday (it's finally out on Amazon Prime). After the Oscar buzz, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I thought it was excellent, if understated. Finally, last night I started watching Oh, Hello on Broadway (Nick Kroll and John Mulaney), but I couldn't get all the way through it. I heard good things, but I thought it was… kinda dumb? Sorry, not sorry.
Skinny Pop: I forgot how much I loved this stuff. After a vacation full of treats, I'm trying to eat cleaner, but I'd really been missing my salty snacks. Enter White Cheddar Skinny Pop, which does the job with zero guilt.
This personality-type + dog matcher article: So if there are two things I find extremely interesting, they are understanding my personality type (INFP-T! aka "The Mediator") and puppies. I follow multiple Twitter and Instagram accounts dedicated to cute dogs (corgis especially), and forward the best posts on to Kyle. When I stumbled upon this helpful little article, I couldn't have been more delighted. Turns out, as an INFP I match best with a Tibetan Terrier (apparently that's a breed??). But Kyle, who is also on the corgi train with me, got matched up with our dream pup as an ESFP (Entertainer) — it's fate! According to the article:
"Just look at their constantly smiling faces: Corgis are the life of the party, and they're always ready to play. They're so playful, in fact, that they often have trouble focusing on one task at a time."
Pretty accurate. Also: destiny!
This video: OK, this is actually work related, but it was probably the highlight of my work week. The department that I'm in has been working really hard to get this story told, and the end result is absolutely phenomenal. I handle PR for this team, so I was very close to this story from its inception. If nothing else, watch just the first two minutes. You'll suddenly find yourself interested in fencing! It's epic.
That's all for this week. I'm looking forward to this weekend with a good run on Saturday and a little bit of a crazy Sunday with two family parties to attend. I hope your weekend is excellent!
What are your Friday Favorites?
Any exciting plans for the weekend?
Have you read any good books lately?

How important is it to publish during your time at medical school?
Caroline replies . . .
In professional life—whether as a doctor or a psychologist—it is vital that you are clear about the limits of your knowledge. So when this question landed in my inbox, although I had a few thoughts, I wanted to garner the opinion of an academic clinician who would have a much more nuanced understanding of the key issues.
The old adage "if you want to get something done, ask a busy person" came to mind, so I emailed Jeremy Levy, consultant nephrologist, director of clinical academic training for Imperial College Academic Health science centre and clinical lead for Health Education North West London (among many other responsibilities). As expected—he came up trumps.
The first point that Professor Levy made was that if students want to apply for the academic foundation programme they will need evidence of academic excellence. Obviously degree class and academic prizes in

Who are the players that have extreme Acceleration
And who are the players that have extreme pace?
( for those that don't know the difference, Pace is the maximum speed a player can get up to while acceleration is the time it takes to reach maximum speed)
In my opinion, Theo Walcott is a player that has 10/10 Acceleration, while his pace is like 8.5/10
Thierry Henry had 9/10 Acceleration, but had 10/10 pace.
Marc Overmars had 8/10 acceleration, but his pace was 10/10. <- he would get up to the maximum speed in couple seconds, but when he was off, he was like Speedy Gonzales... nobody is catching him, or even keeping up with him.
Give some opinions, especially on Theo Walcott, and then post some examples.

As measured by the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS), the national employment rate for youth aged 18-28 years old remained constant at 53.2% for 2017Q4. This rate contrasted sharply with the overall employment rate, which improved by a full percentage point to 73.3%. Based on Harambee's data, we expected to see a seasonal increase in the QLFS employment rate, driven by temporary hiring in retail. However, the overall increase in employment for 2017Q4 was driven by other sectors, including community and social services, manufacturing and agriculture. It is likely that older, more skilled or more experienced employees are favoured by these sectors, which is why the overall employment rate increased but youth employment at the national level did not.
Harambee uses real-time data to calculate an employment rate among the young people it serves. Harambee's overall employment rate is lower than that of the QLFS (although the trends are similar) because we focus on marginalised youth in particular, who tend to face higher structural barriers to employment.
The employment rate among Harambee candidates increased slightly in the fourth quarter, but not nearly as much as the rate increased in 2016Q4 or in 2015Q4. In other words, the Harambee employment rate remained in line with the QLFS employment rate, on a declining annual average trend. We expect the employment rate to decline slightly again in 2018Q1.
Harambee believes that inclusive solutions to increase youth employment are possible, and we will continue to share our knowledge to develop these solutions further.
401 435 learners passed South Africa's 2017 secondary school exit exam (Matric). Congratulations to all of you from Harambee, this is a great achievement! However many of 2017's graduates will face difficult employment prospects ahead. This Breaking Barriers outlines some of the challenges facing youth who are transitioning from school to work, or from "learning to earning".
** Youth includes all 18-28 years old
*** Note: Harambee employment rate is much lower than the national employment rate as Harambee does not include the informal sector and specifically targets low-income urban youth excluded from the formal economy.

This year I feel exalted to take part in such marvelous weddings. This in particular on a peculiar day.
I am following my daily routine: wake up, coffee, shower, brush my teeth, prep the camera bag and cross check my to do list. Everything is in place. Now I am driving to my destination, one moment humming the other singing out loud. Depending on the song. I am so excited. And nervous as well. Now I am shaking hands with the bride and groom, and mom and dad, sis and toddler.
Now I reach down in my camera bag, choose my lens, point and shoot. This is, I guess, what every photographer knows is part of the process. I have had enough photo sessions to know what I am doing. And I did know what I was doing. But my hands were shaking and my heart was beating fast. Just like the day my children were born. Especially my daughter. Our midwife was stuck in traffic, so she dictated on the phone what I had to do to help deliver the baby. So I knew exactly what to do. But I was too excited. Because this is a special moment. And it is something that won't ever happen again. Not under these same circumstances.
But the bride and groom have chosen me. For whatever reason. I was there responsible to capture their memories of this unique day.
So passed the sweat and shivers, my brain clicked and took over. And then everything felt like meeting a friend after many years, carrying our last conversation forward where we left it.
I liked this wedding very much. One of my favorite moments was the bus! It was an old bus during the German Democratic Republic (GDR). It was all cleaned up and it felt like traveling back in time! It was a fun ride and it was most certain fun to capture these moments on it.

President Obama made a big splash some months back when he announced his intention to appoint a cyber-security czar whose mission would be to protect federal government systems from the seemingly constant hacking attacks that originate from discontented homegrown hackers and/or foreign governments who are less than friendly to the United States.
At that time, I pointed to the appalling lack of detail in the White House's security plans, yet I hoped that someone would step up and start filling in the gaps. Sadly, that has not happened, as demonstrated by a recent Associated Press item.
Specifically, AP notes that in the six months since the announcement, the administration has struggled to find a suitable candidate who would be willing to take on this task. It seems that finding a person with the required political and technological skills, and a strong reputation in the technology community is very difficult.
Why should this be? According to AP, several experts who agreed to describe the private selection process on condition of anonymity said that National Security Adviser James Jones, National Economic Council Director Larry Summers and White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel have conflicting views of the job.
Not good, yet not insurmountable. But there is more.
While industry executives say the job must be rooted in the White House in order to have any power, some in Congress worry that the job would be beyond their control, says AP.
Definitely a potential political quagmire, but again, is it really impossible? My gut tells me that there is something else that is scaring away qualified candidates like a great white shark in the local swimming pool.
While the organizational and political problems are all too real, it is also obvious that taking the cybersecurity czar job is a lose-lose situation. That is because whoever takes on this role will be charged with completely protecting federal systems from dangerous intrusions—a task that is virtually impossible in today's interconnected world.
To those of us who are familiar with technology, the above facts are no surprise. Illegal intrusions into federal systems, including those at the Pentagon, have been widely publicized. The bad guys have been a step ahead of the good guys in the cyber-wars for years now, and many experts privately admit that while we may win some battles and lessen the tide of cyber-crime, the overall war will drag on.
The problem is that the President has, with bombastic rhetoric, made this a test of his effectiveness, apparently without anyone advising him about the realities of cyber-crime. The other problem is that since the White House's cybersecurity plan contains little detail, no one really knows what will constitute good performance in the czar's job. If you're a security expert, why volunteer to be the scapegoat for a promise that can never be kept? And why pick up that football when you can't find the goalposts, much less the end zone?
I'm sure all this and more occurred to Melissa Hathaway when she resigned from her role as acting senior director for cyberspace at the National Security Council just a couple of weeks ago. Others who have been wooed for this spot are doubtlessly aware of the same pitfalls.
Signing on to fight the war against cyber-crime is one thing. Signing up to fulfill a politician's unrealistic expectations is another, because any failure—and who really knows what constitutes failure here?—will be pinned to the chest of the unfortunate individual who takes the czar's post.
It would have been a different story if the President had presented a realistic picture of the threat we face, and the extent to which we can be effective against it. As it is, however, the cybersecurity czar position has turned into the hottest of potatoes—and no one wants to get burned.

Wood products and other forestry products saw the highest increase of 21.6 per cent, climbing to a total of $2.7 billion during the period. The export value of cash crops rose just 9.1 per cent to $8.9 billion, while seafood saw an increase of 6.5 per cent to a value of $3.4 billion.
Surging export volumes drove the increases, since the prices of many products have fallen from the same period a year ago, noted the director of the ministry's information and statistics centre, Nguyen Viet Chien.
In the first seven months, rubber exports shot up by 26.7 per cent in volume to 468,000 tonnes, even as export value fell 12.5 per cent to $1.4 million, he said.
During the period, rubber export volumes to China rose 21 per cent, while rubber exports to Taiwan rose 51.4 per cent. Exports to Malaysia tripled in volume, while volumes shipped to India increased by six times.
Wood products exports managed to increase by 22.4 per cent in value in the first seven months to $2.6 billion despite technical barriers in export markets, high input cost and low competitiveness, said Chien.
Among cash crops, pepper saw a hike in export value but a decline in volume since the average export price for pepper rose 26.4 per cent, reaching $6,814 per tonne. Pepper exports therefore rose by 20.3 per cent in value to $546 million but dropped by 3.2 per cent in volume to 80,000 tonnes. The major export market for Vietnamese pepper continued to be the US, accounting for 13.3 per cent of total export volume, followed by Germany and the United Arab Emirates.
Cashews, coffee and tea all posted increase in both volume and value. Cashew exports jumped by 36.5 per cent in volume to 120,000 tonnes and by 19.2 per cent in value to $828 million.
The average price for Vietnamese coffee in the first seven months rose 4.4 per cent to $2,100 per tonne. Coffee exports increased by 31.6 per cent in volume during the period to 1.2 million tonnes and by 25.4 per cent in value to $2.5 billion. Coffee exporters were expecting to achieve a record export value of $4 billion this year against $2.7 billion last year, Chien said.
Germany provided the largest market for Vietnamese coffee, accounting for 12.9 per cent of export value, followed closely by the US, with 12.4 per cent.
During the first seven months, tea exports rose by 5.9 per cent in volume to 73,000 tonnes and by 4.2 per cent in value to $108 million.
Rice exports fell by both volume and export value, seeing a year-on-year decline of 2 per cent in volume to 4.6 million tonnes and a decline of 8.7 per cent in value to $2.1 billion. The average export price also dropped by 6.6 per cent to $458 per tonne. — VNS

Readers of a certain age will remember the popular British children's TV hand puppet Edd the Duck, whose amusing but ultimately pointless quacking entertained young minds after school. Today's Prime Minister's Questions saw Ed Miliband prove that the conviction of the PM's former Director of Communications Andy Coulson was not so much about phone hacking but rather a chance for some similarly lame Edd the Duck quacking.
Proceedings were kicked off by Damian Collins (Con, Folkestone and Hythe) who was a member of the committee that initially investigated phone hacking. He pointed out that Coulson has lied to his committee about his involvement in phone hacking and called for "redress of grievance for the victims" whilst "maintaining a free press". Cameron took the opportunity to repeat his apology of yesterday before Ed the (lame) duck quacked one off.
He started by claiming that Coulson "brought disgrace to Downing Street" and asked what actions the Prime Minister took after the Guardian exposed phone hacking "on an industrial scale". Cameron came back by pointing out that he accepted assurances that had also satisfied police. He also read a section of Leveson saying that he was not warned by the Guardian and another that made clear he was "not to blame" for Coulson's actions.
What followed was a whole raft of quackers questions about issues covered in the inquiry that exonerated the Prime Minister. What action did he take when he was warned by the Deputy Prime Minister? What actions did he take when the New York Times talked about phone hacking? Why wasn't Coulson vetted more vigorously when he was given the job in number ten? Did any Civil Servants raise concerns about him hiring Andy Coulson?
Quack, quack, quack…
The Prime Minister batted each one off with ease by pointing out that this had all been investigated, and Ed the (lame) Duck had supported the inquiry. Conservative MPs shouted "weak" at Ed, leading Speaker Bercow to come to his friend's defence.
Cameron then suggested that Ed was just disappointed that the eight month long inquiry that cost £5m had not come up with the result he had wanted. Barbecued duck anyone?
Backbench contributions came from Nigel Evans (Con, Ribble Valley) who proved he remains a major force in the House of Commons chamber by an asking for the house to "never ever underestimate the value of our armed forces". Guy Opperman (Con, Hexham) demanded fairer funding for schools in Northumberland.
Ronnie Campbell (Lab, Blyth) and Yasmin Qureshi (Lab, Bolton South-East) both repeated questions already asked by Ed the (lame) Duck. They had clearly misread the briefing, and were despatched with even more ease than their leader had been.
Overall: Edd the Duck was a popular character for many children, but what amuses young minds does not cut the mustard in the adult world. Today his broom cupboard is closed down and the quacking hand puppet has now been retired and almost forgotten. After this performance it's clear Ed the (lame) Duck Miliband is soon to follow his namesake.
Speaker Bercow was unbearable, with a number of interruptions and a long winded statement on whether the issue of Andy Coulson could be discussed at all. Will he ever miss an opportunity to muscle in on an important occasion?
Cameron: 3
Miliband: 0
Bercow: -100

No matter who you are, you most likely have a love of music. You have your own, personal taste, and songs that you would prefer to listen to over others. However, with many genres and songs that fill the world, know that not all would be suitable for your big day.
You will want to ensure that your guests have a fantastic time dancing at your big day! Therefore, the music you choose is crucial to represent the right atmosphere.
We understand what it takes to create a fantastic ambiance through music! That's why, here at Philadelphia String Quartet, we have gathered some genres that you should avoid playing on your wedding day. If you are curious to learn what these genres are, be sure to continue reading to discover more:
· Don't rock too hard. Rock is great to play within a wedding, as it can amp up the dance floor. However, heavy metal should be avoided. Loud, screeching noise accompanied by vocal screaming is not an ideal sound for such a romantic and celebratory occasion.
· Be cautious of lyrics. Hip hop and rap are loved by many. You can discover a variety of songs that would be ideal to play within your wedding throughout this genre, but you must be mindful of the lyrics. You will most likely have children and grandparents attending your wedding, who would certainly not appreciate foul language or lyrics that showcase negativity or profanity.
· Don't keep it too slow. Your wedding day is all about romance! While slow songs are great to dance to, they are not ideal for keeping your wedding guests on the dance floor. Some may not have a partner to dance with, and slow sounds can provide too calm of an atmosphere for your reception. Consider playing slow songs now and again, but the majority of your music should be upbeat and festive.
Book Philadelphia String Quartet for Your Wedding
Dancing is such a wonderful way to celebrate your nuptials! These are just some of the genres that you should avoid playing on your big day. If you are ready to hire a Philadelphia wedding band, please feel free to contact us here at Philadelphia String Quartet. We would be honored with the opportunity to provide your Philadelphia, Pennsylvania wedding with festive music.
