LONDON--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Technavio's latest market research report on the global optical pulse sensor market provides an analysis of the most important trends expected to impact the market outlook from 2018-2022. Technavio defines an emerging trend as a factor that has the potential to significantly impact the market and contribute to its growth or decline.
According to Technavio analysts, the global optical pulse sensor market will grow at a CAGR of over 11% during the forecast period. The rising adoption of wearable devices is a major factor driving the market's growth.
The smart bands market in APAC is growing because of the proliferation of low-cost smart bands in this region and a decline in their ASPs. The increasing disposable income and internet penetration are persuading the smart band vendors to tap the growth potential of the market in the region. The vendors are concentrating on developing countries to expand their revenue and market base. The ASP of these devices is expected to decline further during the forecast period, making them attractive for price-sensitive consumers.

In this report, Technavio highlights the increasing popularity of diagnostic wearable devices as one of the key emerging trends driving the global optical pulse sensor market:
Increasing popularity of diagnostic wearable devices
The diagnostic wearable medical devices play an essential role in monitoring a range of medical conditions such as hypertension, blood glucose levels, heart rate, body temperature, daily activities, and sleep patterns. Advances in some diagnostic wearable medical devices have led to an increased number of individuals using these devices. The integration of information technology in most of the diagnostic wearable medical devices is increasing. The automated generation of medical records in the digital format (electronic health record) has driven the demand for advanced devices. The increase in the use of diagnostic wearable medical devices for regular personal health monitoring is expected to fuel the growth of the global optical pulse sensor market. Besides, with many potential players entering this industry, the competition is gradually increasing.
The substantial decline in the ASP of smart wearable devices in developed countries between 2012 and 2015 has led to its increased adoption rates among consumers. Initially, the adoption of wearable healthcare devices was confined to developed countries. But, the decline in ASP has positively affected consumers in developing countries. The vendors are shifting their focus toward developing countries to boost their revenue and expand their consumer base as these devices have become affordable to price-sensitive consumers. Thus, the decline in ASP has increased the adoption of advanced wearables and has led to the generation of large volumes of digital health data.
"The decline in the prices of smart wearable devices will reduce the price of heart rate monitoring devices. This will increase the demand for such devices in developing countries such as India and China where the awareness about these products is high, but the affordability is low. Thus, the increased popularity of wearable devices to monitor health is an emerging trend, which is expected to drive the growth of the wearable devices market during the forecast period. This will fuel the demand for optical pulse sensors," says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on sensors.

Passion Fruit Cupcakes with a Curd Core
These are my favourite cupcakes ever. They are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Much like a lemon cake they are indulgent and yet not sickly. They also really do look stunning on a plate.
What you'll need
115g Butter
115g Caster Sugar
115g Self Raising Flour
2 Eggs
60ml Passion Fruit Juice
10ml Lemon Juice
2 Eggs
100g Caster Sugar
100g Butter
150g Butter
260g Icing Sugar
2 Tbsp Passion Fruit Juice
One Passion Fruit of Pulp to Decorate
- Begin by preparing the Curd. In a heat proof bowl beat the Eggs and Sugar until lightly foamy. Add the juices and beat again.
- Bring a pan of water to a simmer. Place the bowl over the top (ensuring it doesnt touch the water).
- Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken. It should coat the back of your spoon when it is done. Remove it from the heat and whisk in the Butter in small cubes, one at a time.
- Allow to cool with cling on the top to prevent a skin from forming.
- Now make the Cakes. Preheat the Oven to 180°C.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the Eggs, and then sift the Flour and fold it into the mix.
- Pour the mix into 12 cupcake cases and bake for 10-15mins or until golden and springy.
- Make the Frosting by beating the Icing Sugar and Butter together until light and fluffy, then add the juice whisk until combined.
- To assemble the Cupcakes, cut the centre of the cakes out with a knife, approximately the size of a cherry tomato.
- Pour the Curd into this hole.
- Pipe or smear with a mini spatular the frosting on the top.
- Finish with a sprinkle of Passion fruit pulp.
Oh! These cupcakes looks stunningly delicious. I'm definitely trying this at home. Wonderful recipe! Kisses,

This is so pretty! Bet it tastes amazing as well
Passion fruit is a great idea for flavor since it's not often used. I like the idea of adding curd to the inside, it's a nice twist to a traditional cupcake.
Hi Peony! Thank you so much for sharing this. .. I'm terrible with instructions and do better with visual especially when I don't cook on a regular basis. Do you think you could do a video of how to make these goodies? I really want to eat one 🙂

Join Tim Grey for an in-depth discussion in this video Assigning star ratings to photos, part of Lightroom 5: 1 Organizing Your Photos.
One of the options for identifying favorite photos in Lightroom that seems to be most popular among photographers, is the use of star ratings. Star ratings have the advantage of being relatively self explanatory. A one star rating would be assigned to an image that is perhaps not your best image, and a five star rating that would be assigned to an image that is clearly one of your very best. I recommend, however, that you consider a slight variation on this approach when assigning star ratings. Let's take a look at the basic concept of applying star ratings first.
Generally speaking, if you're going to use star ratings for identifying your favorite images, I recommend that you evaluate all of your images, and so, in this case, I'm browsing one folder full of images. And I would then want to start with my very first image. So I'll scroll to the far left on the film strip, for example, and click on the thumbnail for my first photo. There are a variety of ways you can assign star ratings to an image. With an image selected, you can go to the Photo menu and then choose Set Rating, followed by None, one star, two stars, three stars, and so on.
All the way up to five stars. You can also decrease the rating by one star, or increase the rating by one star for the current image. And, of course, we have keyboard shortcuts available as well. You can press 0 to remove the star rating, 1 for one star, 2 for two stars and so on. All the way up to five stars. And you can use the left square bracket and right square bracket keys to decrease or increase the rating. The same options are available by right-clicking on the image and then choosing Set Rating followed by the desired option.
And, if you have the star rating option available on the toolbar, you can simply click the number of stars for the rating you'd like to assign. To add the star rating option to the toolbar, simply click the pop-up at the far right of the toolbar. And then chose Rating from the pop-up menu. In most cases though, I'll work with keyboard shortcuts and so I'll start off by selecting my first image, assigning a star rating with the number on the keyboard and then using the left and right arrow keys as needed to navigate among the images. I mentioned previously that most photographers seem to think of a one star rating as being the rating for a bad image.
But I recommend taking a slightly different approach, because after all, if an image is really bad, is it worth assigning a star rating to that image, versus just leaving it alone? So instead, when I'm evaluating my images, I'll use a one star rating to indicate an image that I think I might use for some purpose. In other words, a reasonably good image that I'd like to keep. In fact, the first time I evaluate my images, I'll only utilize a one star rating. So, I'll assign one star, in this case by pressing the number 1 on the keyboard, for an image that I'd like to keep or that I think I might work with.
I'll then press the right arrow button on the keyboard to move to the next image and decide whether or not I'm going to assign a star rating to that image. In this case, I like this image so I'll press 1 to assign a one star rating, but this image I don't really care for and so I'll just skip it without assigning a star rating. I'll continue in this way, assigning a one star rating to any image that I think I'd like to keep or put to use for some purpose. Once I've gone through all of my images in this manner, then I'll let the images sit. In other words, I want to separate myself from the emotional response of capturing these photos.
When I initially captured this image, for example, of a whale's tail, I was every excited that a whale was so close to the boat. And yet, in retrospect I don't really think that the image is all that great. At the time I felt like it was a wonderful image because I had just had this incredible experience. By taking this approach of assigning a one star rating to images that you like and leaving no rating for images that you don't necessarily care for, you have the opportunity then to separate out the emotional element of reviewing the photos.
A little bit later you can come back and review the images again. So I'll go back to the first image for example, and now I might upgrade the rating from a one star rating up to perhaps a two or three star rating. In other words, if I really like an image it might get as high as a three star rating. I'll save the four and five star rating options for later in my work flow, after I've had a chance to review the image, perhaps to apply some adjustments to the image, and maybe even after I've shared the images with others and gotten some feedback.
So, after waiting a while and letting the emotion of the experience subside a little bit, I can go back through my images and any of the one star images, I might upgrade to a two or three star rating. For example, this image I think is kind of nice, so maybe I'll give it a two star rating. And this image I like as well. I'll upgrade that to a two star rating. And this image is kind of nice. Maybe I will even give this one a three star rating. The point is that I'm taking a measured approach to assigning those star ratings to my images. Working with one star initially, then possibly upgrading some of these images to a two or three star rating, and saving the four and five star ratings for later in my work flow, after I've had a chance to work with the image a little bit more.
The underlying point is that while star ratings are relatively straightforward, you do have some flexibility in terms of how you put them to use. And I encourage you to give some thought to your use of star ratings if you're going to utilize them to for keeping your images organized.

May, 2008 Contest: When you walk through the front door, how does your home make you feel?
Congratulations to our contest winner!
Kathryn Baur of Brooklyn, NY
After renting apartments for 17 years, I just purchased a 650 square foot condo, with a small terrace and a roof deck. I moved in on February 29th. I can see a tiny sliver of the NY harbor, with the Staten Island ferry moving back and forth and the planes far away, taking off from Newark Airport.
I got rid of a lot of stuff before I moved. (You put something out on the street, you go brush your teeth, you come back, and it's gone.)
I planned out where everything was going to fit, and I still got rid of a few things after I moved in. Now, when I walk in the front door, and there is space around me, and light and air, and the things that I love, I feel wonderful. Happy, free, relaxed. It's like I can finally, fully exhale.

Mental illness is the No. 1 cause of disabilities among young people across the globe, a study from the World Health Organization has confirmed.
Not only is it the largest cause of disabilities, it comprises about 45% of the "disease burden" that people ages 10 to 24 have. And people ages 10 to 24 compose 27% of the world's population.
The study, released June 8, showed that major depression, alcoholism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder constitute nearly half of the diseases in this age group. Most of the illness occurs beginning during the late teenage years and early 20s.
So why on Earth isn't this taken more seriously?

'Live From Mount Sinai'
Jewish educator Amichai Lau-Lavie has invented an interactive method of teaching the Torah using songs and theater. It has been a great success among American Jews, but will it be received as well by Israelis?
"Torah service is a disservice," says Amichai Lau-Lavie, moving easily between the rhyming discourse of hip-hop and advertising slogans, between biblical quotations and academic reflections, as he discusses his current project: finding a way to engage Israelis with the texts of the Bible. "I should have gone into advertising," he says, "but my customers are not buying something - they're getting something."
Lau-Lavie is one of a select group of Jerusalem Fellows - who are "changing the definition of what it means to be a Jewish educator," according to Abigail Dauber Sterne, an official at the Mandel Leadership Institute, which sponsors the fellows enterprise.
Combining Jewish studies with theater and entrepreneurship, Lau-Lavie (who is the nephew of former chief rabbi Israel Meir Lau and son of former Israeli diplomat Naphtali Lau-Lavie), defies easy definitions. Educated at the Har Etzion Yeshiva and the Shalom Hartman Institute, he seeks to challenge the status quo of Orthodoxy, while celebrating what he calls the "oldest continual tribal storytelling tradition": the weekly reading of the Torah portion.
Reclaiming a ritual that has become, in his words, "so boring no one wants to go near it," through music, audience participation and performance art, Lau-Lavie's method - "Storahtelling" - revives the ancient role of interpreter in the synagogue, "translating" the texts into contemporary discourse. Although he has met substantial success in overcoming the apathy of American Jews [one of his best-known characters is the rebbetzin Hadassah Gross, whom he has portrayed in drag at numerous venues around North America], Lau-Lavie knows his program cannot simply be duplicated in Israel. "This will be a year of experimentation," he says. "I don't have an answer yet."
While American Jews may need an English translation to be able to relate better to the biblical Hebrew of the text, Lau-Lavie recognizes that in Israel, "the Hebrew already exists in the ear, and the 'translation' needs to be deeper." An additional, more serious obstacle is perhaps the antagonism that he perceives secular Israelis feel toward the religious establishment. Unlike many of their American counterparts, most non-Orthodox Israelis do not attend weekly services or even belong to a synagogue.
"Ezra and Nehemia invented a custom of telling a story, they came to the audience, they introduced Torah reading on market days," he says, asking, "Where is the new marketplace? Where do people gather? Is it on YouTube?"
An energetic and creative thinker, Lau-Lavie is pursuing the answer to these questions in several different ways. In addition to the year-long study program at the Mandel Institute, designed to offer leaders in the Jewish community an opportunity to pursue their work and to acquire the necessary critical philosophical skills to develop their ideas conceptually, Lau-Lavie has already brought his Shabbat Storahtelling to two Israeli communities: Kol Haneshama Synagogue for Progressive Judaism, in Jerusalem, and the nondenominational Beit Tefilah Israeli congregation in Tel Aviv. Of the two, the progressive Kol Haneshama more closely resembles a Reform American congregation, while Beit Tefilah is clearly a contemporary local product.
Joining the Beit Tefilah community for a recent Shabbat retreat in Neve Shalom, the Arab-Jewish community outside Jerusalem, Lau-Lavie immediately established a connection with the children, improvising a collaborative Storahtelling program. Standing barefoot on a rug, wrapped in a tallit (prayer shawl), he led the youngsters in a raucous rendition of the Hebrew children's song "Yonatan Hakatan," to accompany the story of Elisha Ben Abuya (scholar of the first century C.E.), which they enacted as a prelude to the week's Torah reading.
'Open your hearts'
"Turn off your cell phones, open your hearts and fasten your seatbelts," he proclaimed, inviting the participants to join him for a story brought to them "live from Mt. Sinai."
Lau-Lavie seemed to be ready to do whatever it takes: setting up a folding table for the Torah, cavorting with the children, coaxing a laugh from the adults - all with the goal of bringing people closer to the Torah. Dedicating the first aliyah (blessing over the reading of the Torah portion) to all those who wish to become more involved in social issues and volunteer activities in the coming year, he added, "If I don't see everyone in the room coming up here, it will be worrying."
Acting as a mediator between the text and the community gathered around him, never veering too far from one or the other, Lau-Lavie explicated each verse without imposing any interpretation on it. "I don't come with a specific viewpoint," he explained. "Once I take a particular stand, I've closed the door."
It is not surprising that the group was receptive to this style of Torah reading. Beit Tefilah is an egalitarian community that incorporates music and audience participation in its services, and encourages initiative and creativity. Yet, several aspects of Lau-Lavie's approach did not suit the participants, says Esteban Gottfried, Beit Tefilah's general director and co-founder, citing as an example the reading of each verse with its translation in contemporary Hebrew immediately afterward, rather than discussing the portion as a whole.
One way Lau-Lavie intends to improve the "fit" between his method and the different people he works with is by training so-called "mavens," who will then return to their congregations to lead Storahtelling there. Such workshops have already been held in the U.S., where several Storahtelling communities have developed. At the Kol Haneshama congregation this year, Lau-Lavie will be conducting his 12-step "Torah Rehab" program, to train people whom he hopes will bring his Storahtelling methods to a wider audience in community centers, theaters and other nontraditional venues for Jewish learning in Israel.
Room for creativity
Aware of the inherent danger that, because of its mode of dissemination, the Storahtelling method might lose sight of the texts it seeks to interpret, Lau-Lavie chooses the participants very carefully. During the course of the workshop, he transmits an explicitly defined method while always leaving room for creativity and simultaneously maintaining the connection to the Torah's narrative.
The desire to overcome apathy and antagonism and involve people in the Torah is balanced by a deep respect for the text. Indeed, Lau-Lavie believes one should "open the questions, let it happen, then close it up," and declares: "Let us remember what the Torah says." Always returning to the source, he is careful to maintain the distinction between his dramatic, provocative and often amusing "translation," and the Torah itself.
Critical of what he calls the "conscious illiteracy" he discerns among Israelis, Lau-Lavie would prefer to see "an informed conversation based on knowledge ... I don't care if you are religious. I want you to be an aware person, an aware citizen who needs to come to terms with reality."
That reality includes the effects that biblical texts have on everyday life in Israel, whether or not people are religious. For example, shmita (the "sabbatical" of the land, which lies fallow every seven years), conversion and dialogue with the Palestinians, are all issues affected by a relationship to the text, Lau-Lavie believes.
While he approaches Storahtelling as a way to spur discussion, he admits that he does at times differ from the Scripture. "I am against the death sentence," he explains, "and there is a death sentence handed down in the Bible every 15 minutes. I have an argument with the Torah on this matter, but I argue based on knowledge."
Rather than shutting the sacred away behind a glass, he insists that his approach enables people to open themselves up to the text and to make it a relevant part of their lives.
While some may view his ideas with suspicion, Lau-Lavie does not see a contradiction between the humor and theatricality he brings to the Torah reading, and respect for the text. Quoting Psalm 119, "Your Torah has been my delight," he says he feels that people have a "deep yearning for this play."

"Awareness is our true self; it's what we are. So we don't have to try to develop awareness; we simply need to notice how we block awareness, with our thoughts, our fantasies, our opinions, and our judgments. We're either in awareness, which is our natural state, or we're doing something else. The mark of mature students is that most of the time, they don't do something else. They're just here, living their life. Nothing special." ― Charlotte Joko Beck

Google Unsure About User Editing
One area Google's search algorithm doesn't really consider at the moment is user opinions of its results. With other Web 2.0 products that soley rely on user feedback (StumbleUpon, Digg, etc), Google at present relies on mathematical formulas and its PageRank alogrithm to chose the position for its results.
However, recently they have been testing user feedback with select groups and with the data they have collected, considering whether to push this live across its search engine. What that will mean is that users will be able to comment, report links and – the most interesting of all – re-rank and remove search engine results. What implications this could have is anyones guess, with the key concern is whether or not certain individuals will be taking advantage of this and actively hurting competitors results. Matt Cutts, a Google Enginee, commented that "I'm very excited by it and I hope that it does work out," (source).
It will prove very interesting if Google does choose to implement this across their search engines around the world and definitely move their engine to the next level.

Kuala Lumpur Nightlife - Best Nightclubs and Bars in KL (2018)
By Thibaud (Jakarta100bars) →
I would not recommend going to KL specifically for partying, but if you happen to be in town, there are enough good venues to have fun. The following review will guide you to the best bars and nightclubs in the city as of late 2016. Comments, criticism and questions are much welcome, just write them below at the end of the article. KL Nightlife Nightlife in Kuala Lumpur has a poor reputation as Malaysia is considered one of the most conservative countries in Asia. Authorities often cancel high-profile concerts due to religious and cultural issues, such as Beyonce in 2007 or Ke$ha in 2013. Lady Gaga is banned from performing as well. More recently, Islamist militants protested against the venue of Elton John because he was homosexual and Selena Gomez for being "too sexy". The government is actually rather hypocrite. While flirting with Islamists, the current prime minister, Najib Razak is also the grand-son of the cofounder of Genting Berhad, one of the larges

Bits from the Branches
New York
These are the kinds of stories we remind ourselves of when we find it tough to hand out tracts: Gregory Furman reports, One Saturday after services at my congregation, a gentleman named Anatoly approached me and said, 'You don't remember me but about two years ago during the summer you were handing out pamphlets on the boardwalk here in Brighton Beach. When I took one you asked who I thought Jesus was.' Apparently Anatoly didn't answer me at the time but simply walked away. However, later on he read the tract and thus began his encounter with Jesus. Now, here at Congregation Beth Israel, Anatoly has come to faith in Jesus. He wanted to thank Jews for Jesus and me for being there and helping him begin his adventure with Jesus."
Tel Aviv
And just when you think you've heard it all…Valerie Bouaziz reports, "I was calling Jewish people who have agreed to hear more from us when I reached Shoshanna. She was in a hurry but stayed on the line with me for 15 minutes. She told me that Jesus was the son of aliens! I had never heard this before! I pointed out that aliens are not mentioned in the Tanach (Old Testament) and there is no proof or facts about aliens. Then I reminded her that we humans are made according to God's image; we can't be aliens because God is not an alien. I told her to look again at the book of Genesis. She seemed thoughtful, and promised to read the book of Genesis and think about it. Please pray for God to open Shoshanna's eyes and heart."
Montreal outpost
Karl deSouza reports, "I was on a sortie (defined earlier) at Concordia University in Montreal when I saw someone I knew. Daniel (not his real name) is an observant Jew who had contacted us through our website about a year ago. He was curious about Jesus and I met with him while I was in Montreal on a visit. When I returned to Toronto, we had a few Bible studies together over the phone. However, Daniel soon stopped contact with me. Now I am back and settled in Montreal, and was pleasantly surprised to see Daniel at Concordia. He agreed to meet me at a local cafT where I learned that he'd become scared as we studied the Bible together, and turned to his rabbi who dissuaded him from further meetings with me. Once again, I opened up some Messianic passages to point Daniel to Jesus. He looked over the texts and said he needed to see them in Hebrew. I haven't heard from him since. Please pray that God would show Daniel the truth of His Word, and melt away his fears concerning Jesus."
Maxim Ammosov reports, "In late December, Mira and I went to a public Hanukkah candle-lighting at one of Moscow's central squares, close to the Kremlin. As we handed out our broadsides to the Jewish people who were gathering for a ceremony, I saw two young men in conversation. I wanted to go speak to them but we were already standing closer to the event than the authorities wanted, and doing quite well there. If we got any closer and people complained, we could be driven away.
Nevertheless, one of the young men came to me and asked what I was handing out. To my surprise, he seemed quite interested. He said that he had finished his rabbinical training at yeshiva, but he was very curious about the Messianic point of view. It turned out that Dovid is well acquainted with one of the Moscow Messianic congregations. When I asked if he thought Jesus was the Messiah, he answered that the question required additional investigation. He seemed sincere and willingly gave me his contact information so that we could meet and discuss the Messiahship of Jesus. Praise God! Please pray for the salvation of Dovid."

Elliot wave theorists are pointing towards a Dow collapse, with the indice falling below 1000 by 2016, according to MarketWatch.
Elliot wave theory utilizes "Fibonacci time relationships" to judge the the future movements of the market. The Elliot Wave Financial Forecast is known for being distinctly hyper-bearish.
This bearish stance has not always been a success, but over the past three years watchers gained 5.25% while the annualized return on the Wilshire 5000 was a negative 8.12%.

Marks Men. An Interview With Ivan Chermayeff, Tom Geismar, and Sagi Haviv
In Identify, celebrated designers Tom Geismar and Ivan Chermayeff, and partner, rising star Sagi Haviv (called a "logo prodigy" by The New Yorker) open up their studio for the first time in the firm's 55-year history and reveal the creative process that lead to the firm's iconic visual identities, from the oldest (Chase Bank and Mobil Oil in the 1960s) to the more recent (Armani Exchange and the Library of Congress in the 2000s).
The team demonstrates how their approach to design has remained unaltered by cultural and technological change and is in fact more successful than ever in today's online and digital applications, due to the powerful simplicity that is the hallmark of the firm's work.
A showcase of some of the world's most famous and enduring trademarks, an account of how they came to be, and an unprecented insider's peek into a legendary branding and graphic design firm. Identify: Basic Principles of Identity Design in the Iconic Trademarks of Chermayeff & Geismar unveils the thinking and the process behind identity design that works.
"Chermayeff & Geismar, one of America's most historic design firms, has touched so many businesses and institutions with its signature brand of graphic modernism that New York's streetscape wouldn't be as vibrant had it never formed over 50 years ago. It is impossible to walk down a midtown Manhattan sidewalk without seeing its logos, posters, shopping bags, and other commercial and cultural brand identities, like Chase Bank and Mobil Oil. Along with hundreds of other familiar graphic marks, the firm's individual and collective contributions are indelible signposts — some are even landmarks."
–Steven Heller
"The firm of Chermayeff & Geismar has created some of the most memorable logos in the history of graphic design, including the NBC Peacock, Chase Bank's Blue Octagon, and (literally) hundreds of others. This book reveals the history and process of creating many of the world's most iconic marks."

Kris Humphries' Ex-GF Myla Sinanaj Promoting Her Kim K Style Sex Tape
Just because you sort of look like Kim Kardashian and you slept with her ex-husband, doesn't necessarily mean you are going to make millions of dollars if you make a sex tape like her.
But, that is Myla Sinanaj hopes happens after she shot a scene with Vivid videos.
Myla tells TMZ, "I may not like Kim, but she was smart and she's sexy and I look a lot like her so why not make a tape and make millions and get a reality show?"
Myla fully admits she shot the skin flick for Vivid porn studio — which even hired a Kris Humphries look-alike to bang her silly — saying, " I had a blast that weekend with someone I was attracted to and had chemistry with."
When the tape is released I'll be sure to tell you how to watch it………for free.

This short film documents the impact that supremacist parading has on just one small community. The period in question was largely in the 1990's but unfortunately, supremacist parading by sectarian 'Loyal Orders' are still a constant for communities such as the Short Strand, Ardoyne, Carrick Hill and elsewhere where local people are regularly beaten off the streets for having the temerity to protest against bigotry, hatred and fascism.

25th anniversary commemoration of the death of Miriam Daly, at her graveside, Swords, County Dublin, 25 June 2005. Address by James DalyPosted in Miriam Daly on December 23, 2013 by The Plough & The Stars
At commemorations like this in earlier years, while the struggle continued, we could think in terms of the nobility of the cause transcending the horror of Miriam's death, and I could quote James Connolly's last message to his wife, "Hasn't it been a good life, Lily, and isn't this a good end?" But lately the cause for which she was tragically martyred has slithered down into slapstick comedy, farce and low buffoonery. Trimble with impunity calls Republicans dogs and pigs. War criminal Blair backs Paisley's theocratic demand that since Republicans have sinned in public they must repent in public. That from an alumnus of Bob Jones University, whose president's wife, Mrs Bob Jones III, asked for her opinion on something, stated "Good book says wife don't have opinion, husband head of household have opinions".
But this is not a case of harmless mud wrestling — entertaining, colourful folklore. Murderous buffoons are not confined to the six counties. George W. Bush launched his first presidential campaign from Bob Jones University. And in the six counties, to use an animal metaphor which doesn't degrade the user, the fox has been put in charge of the chicken coop. Paisley, the master of destruction, the organiser of chaos, has got rid one by one of every previous leader of unionism, O'Neill, Chichester-Clarke, Faulkner, Molyneux and Trimble. His next target is the Parades Commission. When UDA banners are forced by the PSNI/RUC through Catholic areas like Ardoyne, murder is not far behind. Under that threat, the parades commission, if it still exists by then, could well allow the Orange Order to march down Garvaghy Road next year.
This year, on the 25th anniversary of Miriam's death I feel there is at least one thing I can do, and that is to restate an important message she never tired of repeating. It was: to beware of and shun so-called "conflict resolution", the alleged academic discipline which is in fact an imperialist confidence trick.
The conflict resolution agenda requires the obliteration of the obvious truth about the nature of the struggle. This has been distorted to such an extent that the inheritors of the 1912 loyalists' successful threat of civil war in Britain, which was supported by British imperialist finance capitalism, the inheritors of the Curragh mutiny, and of the running of the Larne guns — never decommissioned — by all of which the six county territory was secured, are universally, and without argument from Sinn Fein, accepted as the arbiters of when a decontaminated Sinn Fein can be judged to have become "democratic". On John Hume's side of the conflict the dispute is said *not* to be about territory but about minds and hearts. There is no such illusion on the other side. The issue of territory has been won and ceded in advance.
Some republican publications which are ostensibly in opposition to Sinn Fein show that they are in fact following a similar politics when they invite unionists to use their pages to exhort the IRA to decommission, and when they say that there is nothing wrong with the Orange Order as long as its marches are within "its own" areas.
The Irish people were victims ground down in the end by many years not only of the relentless use in the foreground of the stick of repression, but also of the indefatigable use in the background of the carrot of conflict resolution. The fact that the conflict resolution approach was involved is emerging into the daylight now. It resulted in the majority of the Irish people's being not only coerced but also tricked into voting yes in a referendum giving up for nothing the principle of national liberation which had been enshrined in articles 2 and 3 of the southern constitution, and into capitulating to John Hume's politics.
Miriam had total clarity about the imperialist use of conflict resolution in Ireland. I will try to briefly restate her message here — in my opinion, that specific part of her anti-imperialist message which brought about her death.
Unlike the aims of conflict resolution, Miriam's aim was the Irish Republican Socialist one embodied in the demands drafted by Seamus Costello for the Broad Front document and agreed at the IRSP's first conference. They included:
Number 6. That the Irish anti-imperialist front rejects a federal solution and the continued existence of two separate states in the six and 26 counties as a denial of the right of the Irish people to sovereignty and recognises the only alternative as being the creation of a 32 County Democratic Republic with a secular constitution.
Number 7. That the Irish anti-imperialist front demands the convening of an all Ireland constitutional conference representative of all shades of political opinion in Ireland for the purpose of discussing a Democratic and secular constitution which would become effective immediately following a total British military and political withdrawal from Ireland.
Seamus always stressed the presence here of two points of principle: first that the British would be excluded from such a constitutional conference; and second that the British must actually withdraw; perfidious Albion must not merely state an intention to withdraw, as they did in the declaration which John Hume later obtained — with the rider of course that they would stay as long as the unionists wanted them to; which is till kingdom come. His rejection of the two state or federal "solution" went with his rejection of that (Belfast) ring-road socialism which was always acceptable to practitioners of conflict resolution.
Miriam became aware as early as 1972 of what she called a plague of locusts, of people — often on first name terms with British and American ministers and officials — who appeared variously as academics, social workers, journalists etc. They were all equally anxious to divert the Irish national liberation struggle away from anti-imperialist national and class analysis, and from political demands on an all Ireland basis, and to redirect it into the management of what was described, to Miriam's fury, as an ethnic struggle in the six counties between Irish Catholic nationalists and British Protestant unionists.
Unlike Seamus Costello's projected constitutional conference, conflict resolution meetings must necessarily be chaired by representatives of the imperialists in the guise of honest brokers. But they cannot allow any consideration of history or of colonialism. They insist on formal neutrality (though of course there cannot be real neutrality) not only from the chair but from the participants, and they do not allow discussion of anything in terms of moral categories such as justice or oppression. Republicans must put themselves on a par with loyalist rapists and sexual mutilators, and those who throw urine over eight-year-old girls trying to go to school.
The aim of conflict resolution is not justice but the ending of "disturbance of the peace" in the form of resistance to the status quo. Its method is cynical bargaining in relation to relative strengths and threats. Since it is accepted that the conflict is within the six counties, the alternative to submission by the nationalists would clearly be, on the part of the unionists who are stronger and more ruthless, a violence unlimited to the point of psychosis — a violence like that of the Israelis against the Palestinians, as the Israeli flags flying in loyalist areas make abundantly clear. Therefore the British must remain to placate the unionists and thus protect the nationalists.
Here today we remember Seamus's and Miriam's heroic attempt to prevent that outcome, and we face the tasks left to us by those who did not take their road.

The Irish Republican Socialist Movement 1974 and Onwards! by Alex McGuiganPosted in activism, IRSM on December 15, 2013 by The Plough & The Stars
Like all truly revolutionary movements, the Irish Republic Socialist Movement are realists, as Marx and Engels stated in the Communist Manifesto:
"this fight is sometime hidden and sometimes open."
But while tactics change, principles never will. The Irish Workers' Republic, envisioned and fought for by Connolly a century ago was carried on by Seamus Costello, Ronnie Bunting, Ta Power and Gino Gallagher, to name but a few. Observers of Irish politics over the decades have testified to Seamus Costello, the IRSM's co-founder, fortitude and brilliance. A little bit of Seamus Costello's vision has been within the integral psyche of "Irps" past and present. No-one has ever claimed that the road to a Workers' Republic would be an easy one in any national liberation struggle for a socialist state, as VI Lenin confirmed in his theses "One Step Forward, Two Steps Back" after all to quote Connolly:
"Our demands most moderate are, We only want the earth!"
The imperialists, the super-rich, the corporations, our own native Gombeen Capitalists and the owners of fabulous privilege will not give up their control of the means of production and exchange easily. However, with Capitalism as a socio-economic system in freefall globally, just as Feudalism before it, prior to bourgeois revolutions (which were far from seamless) the parting words of Herr Marx and Engels in the Communist Manifesto ring as true today in the ears of the unemployed worker as it did in those who worked in the 'satanic mills' who felt the first hope of scientific socialism as a means to change the inequities of society:
"The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win! Working Men of All Countries, Unite!"
Costello whose views are well documented also realised that reformists, opportunists and usurpers of the Connollyite vision would, in tandem with the imperialists, seek to silence the exponents of such an aim that threatened the status quo and correctly identified that:
"Any revolutionary movement that cannot defend its own membership, and cannot demonstrate its capability of defending its own membership, goes out of business anyway. We are in business as a serious revolutionary organisation and we are not going to be put out of business by anybody. The IRSP is organised and it is here to stay."
These prophetic words are as accurate today as when he stated them in 1975. The IRSM's resilience has proven that for 39 years as we adapt, strategize and grow. Naysayers, begrudgers and opportunists should take note.

The Irish Republican Socialist Party – Connolly's Ideological Heirs by Alex McGuiganPosted in IRSM, James Connolly on December 15, 2013 by The Plough & The Stars
Irish Republican Socialism as a distinct movement embodied by the Irish Republican Socialist Movement has been, since it's inception in 1974, the most progressive force in Republican politics. Until the splintering of traditional Republicanism post-Good Friday Agreement (GFA) and post-PIRA ceasefires, it was the single principled voice of Republican Socialism in Ireland.
Unlike every single one of the present day myriad of anti-GFA Irish Republican groups, parties and 'societies' who are all derivatives of the Provisional movement, the IRSP 'tendency' first emerged as the most revolutionary section within the Officials.
The IRSP's key ideologues, such as Costello, Bunting and Power stood head and shoulders above the one dimensional Nationalist/Defenderist leaders of the nascent Provisionals like O'Bradaigh, MacStiofain and McKee. Likewise, the IRSP were an uncomfortable reminder to the stageists, reformists and 'ring-road' socialists of the Official Republican Movement.
The IRSP's primary premise has always been that the class struggle and the national struggle are inseparable, in keeping with Connolly's maxim:
"the cause of labour is the cause of Ireland, the cause of Ireland is the cause of labour" (Workers Republic,8 April, 1916).
In present day Ireland, with the near Pythonesque fracturing of the Provisonals grassroots into a plethora of often personality-led 'super-provo' entities, which seem to multiply in number almost weekly, it is not surprising that political opportunists have sought to adapt the mantle of 'Republican Socialism.' Thankfully, their concept of 'Republican Socialism' is more often than not a backwards glance towards a vague notion that 'Socialism is a good idea' but as with all one-dimensional Republicans, there is always the proviso that 'labour must wait!'
Nevertheless, the reality is that the political waters of Irish Republicanism are heavily populated with groups offering 'radical' politics masquerading as a generic 'Republican Socialism' . For the IRSP to survive intact, retain it's distinct identity, prosper and not become a bit-part player in the post-ceasefire alphabet soup of so-called 'dissidents' it's Republican and Socialist politics, in equal magnitude, is it's ultimate salvation. At no time in the past has Republican Socialism sought or felt the need to 'out-Provo' the Provisionals and likewise it would be folly to ever attempt to 'out-super-Provo' the 'super-Provos!' Thats not to say that there are not many issues that the IRSP can share a platform with fellow Republicans on and it would be equal folly to imitate an 'ourselves alone' attitude, which conversely, is still a key tenet and hangover of many anti-GFA parties/groups. Sadly, in practice, history has proven that many of these traditionalist groups retain their previous movement's 'undermine and absorb' attitude towards the IRSP while conversely devoting considerable time and resources to attacking their former, now fully 'respectable' comrades in the Provisional movement who are making constitutional hay while the sun shines administering British rule in the north east of Ireland.
In the present political climate, where the cyclic use of armed struggle is not at present a viable option, socialist revolutionaries who view national liberation and the establishment of an Irish Workers' Republic as symbiotic, will gravitate towards Irish Republican Socialism's politics . One dimensional 'Republicans/Nationalists' will gravitate towards the super-Provo group that makes the biggest bang; have supposedly the strongest smell of cordite about them; have the 'greenest' flag and shout the loudest about post-86 or post-97 'Shinner heresy'.
The revolutionary socialism of Marx, Connolly, Costello, Bunting and Power defined the 'Irps' in the past and it is surely their ideological anchor for the future. As a simple analogy, many groups now carry the Starry Plough flag, invariably as just another 'Republican' symbol amongst many, but the Irish Republican Socialist Party are the only party to give the 'plough', the revolutionary flag of the Irish proletariat, it's prominent and proper place, side-by-side with the Red flag, the symbol of international Socialism. The following prophetic words of Connolly's nascent Republican Socialism have always been the IRSM's de facto mission statement:
.If you remove the English army to-morrow and hoist the green flag over Dublin Castle, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic your efforts would be in vain.
England would still rule you. She would rule you through her capitalists, through her landlords, through her financiers, through the whole array of commercial and individualist institutions she has planted in this country and watered with the tears of our mothers and the blood of our martyrs" (James Connolly)
Adherence to this principle will never change.
INLA Vol Joe Craven 30th Anniversary Commemoration – Bawnmore Saturday 7th DecemberPosted in Commemoration, Joe Craven on December 2, 2013 by The Plough & The Stars
The Joe Craven 30th Anniversary commemoration will be held this Saturday in Bawnmore, starts 1.45pm Sharp!
All members are asked to take note of the memo sent today by the secretary of the Ard Comhairle
The commemoration will be reported in IRSP News.
Volunteer Joe Craven – Fallen Comrade of the IRSM from IRSP.ie
Aged 25, Joe Craven was assassinated by a UVF gunman (claimed under the cover Protestant Action Force) who opened fire from a motorcycle, killing him and wounding his two brothers as they walked to a labour exchange.
At his funeral, the priest refused to accompany the coffin to Milltown where the INLA were to provide military honours. The RUC moved in, trying to prevent the display of a black beret and gloves atop the coffin outside the Craven home, and clashes occurred between the mourners and the RUC. The family refused to bring the coffin out until the security forces moved back. When they finally did move away, the coffin was brought back out and the RUC surged back, and two men were arrested in the subsequent scuffle.
The coffin was eventually carried away by mourners with the beret, gloves and the Starry Plough on top.

Different type of office furniture and modes of purchasing
Furniture for office differs a lot. It depends up on type of business and office. Normally all the companies and business have officials furniture which are same type like chairs, work place tables and sofas in reception. Some companies like software industries will prefer to have separate cabin like structure rather than dividing them in rooms. But some business like mobile service center will have single work table that runs in the side of the hall with separate chairs and partition for the engineers to sit and work. So officials furniture differs based on the nature of the business and will be unique for some of the business.
So whenever you need to buy the furniture for the office first you need to understand the need and who is going to use that. Either you can contact the dealer in your city who may be a specialist in dealing with officials furniture or any local dealer who is famous. As the alternative you can also look to buy the furniture in online shopping website also if they offer good discount. But when you going to use it for official purpose you need to be certain that it is of high quality and will have long life as the people who use them may not handle in the same way we use the furniture in home or for personal use. So it has to be high quality and has the capacity to withstand for long time. If you need to do repair any furniture there will be lot of technician available in town to do that. They will come to your office on stipulated day and will check any issues in chairs or sofas and will fix it. In fact, there are people who offer annual maintenance contract for this service. Once you go for annual contract, they will visit the office periodically and will check all the chairs for any problem or malfunctioning and will fix them. You do not need to call the people every time to fix it. It will be good to have that kind f contract as it will save money in long run.

Documentation:Learner Centered Teaching
What does learner centered mean?
Being learner entered in your teaching, basically represents a shift in thinking away from "what will I teach" to "how will students learn?"
Maryellen Weimer, professor and author of Learner Centered Teaching - 5 Key Changes to Practice suggests that being learner-centered means: Being learner-centered focuses attention squarely on learning: what the student is learning, how the student is learning, the conditions under which the student is learning, whether the student is retaining and applying the learning, and how current learning positions the student for future learning.[1]
Weiner suggests that when the shift occurs from what will I teach to what will students learn, 5 additional shifts need to happen:
- Balance of power: social justice role in education students need more opportunities to challenge dominant myths and power structures and not just be socialized into the dominant ideals of the institution. Friere was influential. Shared power means negotiating that role in the classroom and being clear about intentions.
- Function of content: content is the means to knowledge and understanding not the end. Constructivism suggests that students can be provided the tools and guided in the process of discovering meaning for themselves.
- Role of Instructor: as a guide and curator rather than the arbiter of all knowledge.
- Responsibility for learning: as students take more responsibility for their earning and outcomes - they often need specific instruction and support for becoming self directed in their learning - this falls to the instructor.
- Assessment: Role and function of assessment is to support learning. The who, how and why of assessment needs to be aligned with course goals and learning needs.
The core of a good learning environment
From a learner's perspective, there are some basic requirements for an effective learning environment that go beyond academic considerations and get to the core of the learning experience: belonging, relevance/authentic work, honouring diversity of experience. These appear (under slightly different terms) in a recent project to explore the link between student wellness and teaching practices at UBC.New Directions in Open Education, educator and technologist Mike Caulfield[2] identified the "human core of open" as serving these three important needs. I suspect any great learning environment attends to these.
Have any of you ever walked into a class or signed into a learning environment and thought - "wait, what am I doing here?"
- At those times, is there anything that happened to change your mind - something instructor, other learners did?
- Recent well-being study at UBC finds that belonging and community are key aspects of student well being and there are many ways to address belonging in the learning environment - learn names, having students work in study groups, etc.
- Feeling of "not belonging" can be even more of a barrier for socially stigmatized "minority" students. Article in Science in 2011 that reported that when a program related to social belonging was introduced to college freshman - it made a huge impact on the GPAs of African American students - over 3 years - effectively cutting the acheivment gap by half - in addition to improving overall health and well being of that group. Reference: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/331/6023/1447.full
Implications for teaching:
- modify and customize course readings and materials
- documenting shared fears/hopes - what are you most afraid of? what are you most looking forward to?
- sense of place: where did you come from?
- learning circles or study groups that work together during the term.
Work that means something. Often this means something that students produce for an authentic audience - beyond the instructor.
- UBC examples: Wikipedia projects: to enhance, improve or add to the articles available on topics such as Canadian literature, Spanish literature, Food Science or Women Artists. More relevant than a term paper to many students and makes an authentic contribution to the body of knowledge available on a topic.
Implications for teaching:
- space for students to create real things for authentic audiences (open publishing, use of open data, building, contributing, remixing)
- work on real problems/challenges in the world
- link course goals to big ideas, challenges and broader context
Diversity of Experience
- Unique perspectives contribute to the learning environment in any class. Capitalize on that
Implications for teaching:
- acknowledging diversity of student strengths and knowledge requires an "ecosystem of many explanations, not just the "textbook" explanation" (Caulfield).

Accelerated Reader Test
Click Here to take a test. . .
Accelerated Reader (AR) is software for primary and secondary schools used for monitoring the practice of reading. The AR software tool assesses a student's reading level, suggests titles of books at that level, and then assess whether a student has completed reading the book by asking a series of questions. The software provides information to students regarding reading rates, amount of reading, and other factors related to reading.
There are three steps to using Accelerated Reader. First, students choose and read a fiction or non-fiction book, textbook, or magazine. Teachers monitor the reading. Second, students take a quiz. Teachers can create their own quizzes. Third, the teacher receives information that is intended to assist, motivate reading, monitor progress, and target instruction. Reports regarding reading level and comprehension skills are available through the software.[1]
Accelerated Reader tests are administered only by Mr. Dekleva at the Yale Library during school hours. Tests may be taken in the morning (from 7:15am to 8:05am), during English class (if the teacher allows) and afterschool (between 2:30pm-3:30pm).
