Now a 20-something gun slinging City professional, I grew up in the beautiful Cheshire on the edge of the Peak District, as one of four (2 sisters and 1 brother) with two gorgeous labs and a pet ferret. Dad taught us all to shoot and fish from a young age and encouraged us to engage and get passionate about all things country. I took a few years of getting settled in my career and then was ready to reconnect with my country roots.
However, getting back into shooting and fieldsports proved difficult in The Big Smoke until, one day, I stumbled across a ladies shooting club – The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club – I found my way back in to reconnect and have never looked back since!
I started writing this blog for two reasons. The first is that people seem interested (or bemused) at my contrast of city girl by profession but country girl by passion, so I thought I would shed some light on how you can stay involved in your fieldsports if you are based in London. Secondly, I want to pass on the knowledge, inspiration and titbits I have picked up along the way.

Santorum: Let's get rid of CMS
During a January interview on CNN, Santorum said he would welcome the growth of private sector health plans that would compete with Medicare.
"You want to get rid of this — of CMS [the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services], where government basically micromanages all healthcare through Medicare and Medicaid," he said.
Santorum said Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-WI) proposal to convert Medicare to a voucher system is similar to what many seniors now experience when they purchase policies sold by private insurance companies to fill "gaps" in their Medicare coverage.

This is my DIY nail polish rack. After I finished it my roommate told me it looked like it got ran over by a truck, but I beg to differ. Maybe a bicycle or one of those tiny smart cars, definitely not a truck though.
I am probably going to have to find some other storage method soon though. I can't fit anymore, but I can't bring myself to put them in drawers.
I used this tutorial to make it. It was fairly simple if you aren't terrible at cutting straight lines with an exacto knife, like myself.

Naturalico Firming Cellulite Cream
with Caffeine & Retinol
This firming cream is top notch. We got some for a family member who has had
surgery, and the insurance didn't cover the cosmetic portion of the surgery… so they were left with
excess skin that sags. We have looked for years for a product that would help
to make them feel better about herself.
So from the moment that we received this firming cream, she began to use it.
She put it on twice a day, every single day. We watched every day.
She was VERY excited each day to see even some slight results.
After 2 weeks, she began to see a NOTICEABLE change. The skin has firmed on her arms much more
than it ever was. She used to complain about the horrible "bye bye" arms that she had. That has lessened so much
that she actually is EXCITED to wear short sleeve shirts and blouses!
I am so pleased with this little jar, that I have told everyone that I come across.
Highly recommend. It's a great product!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

What exactly is microinsurance and how might it be the answer to insurance industry? Microinsurance are products that offer coverage to low-income households. A microinsurance plan provides protection to individuals who have little savings, and is tailored specifically for lower valued assets and compensation for illness, injury, or death. The current market size in the United States is over $1 trillion, and insurance companies still make customers pay toward deductibles that they might never use. It seems as though the game is changing as millennials are making their way into the market place. Insurance companies might have the answer if they utilize microinsurance policies.
As of recently, the Sequoia Capital firm invested in Lemonade, which is startup company focused on bringing peer to peer insurance to the public. Similarly, Felicis Ventures backed up Metromile, which allows drivers to only pay insurance for the coverage they need, rather than paying for a 6-month policy they might not use. If a person only drives their vehicle a limited number of miles per week, is really necessary to force them to pay hundreds of dollars for insurance? This is exactly the reason why microinsurance policies might be a better option. Instead of paying a monthly amount for health insurance, why not allow customers to pay a microinsurance policy for the times they have to actually go to the doctor.
Microinsurance available to customers and businesses would allow both to pick and offer the right amount of financial protection for the shortest period of time. Opendoor is a great company that has changed the way we buy and sell homes. The company will purchase your home instantly over the internet, allowing the consumer to close in just three short days. In addition, Opendoor will handle the escrow process for you, which can be a headache for many when trying to sell your home. The company Oscar provides users with quick and easy healthcare insurance options through the click of button on your mobile phone. You can see that technology and innovation are changing, and insurance companies need to be willing to change too. In fact Accenture found that 78 percent of customers would actually be willing to share personal information with insurance companies if they provided an incentive in return. This incentive could be lower premiums or faster claim settlements, but there has to be something in it for the customer.
Insurance companies might think it is hard to develop microinsurance policies as they have to keep policies regulated. Legally, insurance companies are required to maintain statutory reserves. The longer an exposure period, the larger a reserve must be. However, with microinsurance, exposure periods actually focus on short-term events, like a yearly doctor check up, and reduces exposure. In reducing exposure, you limit the need for additional reserves.
Do you think microinsurance is something the United States will see more of in the future and is it worth it? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Farm Safety-Net Payments Through the First Three Years of the 2014 Farm Bill, CRS Report
Earlier this month, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a report titled, "Farm Safety-Net Payments Under the 2014 Farm Bill: Comparison by Program Crop," which stated in part that, "Through the first three years of the 2014 farm bill (2014 through 2016), USDA has spent over $38 billion on commodity-specific farm program outlays. Annually, commodity-specific outlays are estimated at $12.7 billion per year, including $7.5 billion for CCC [Commodity Credit Corporation] programs and $5.2 billion in FCIC [Federal Crop Insurance Corporation] crop insurance premium subsidies." Today's update focuses on several highlights of the CRS report.

Current Research
My second monograph, Between the Wires: The Janowska Camp and the Holocaust in Lviv, focuses on the Janowska concentration camp in Lviv, Ukraine from 1941-1944. This camp represents a special combination of slave labor camp, transit camp, and extermination center. I am interested in several important aspects of the camp beyond bringing its story to a larger audience. First, what is the significance of the hybrid functions of the camp in the larger story of the Holocaust? Second, given that the remains of the camp is off limits today, what can a spatial examination of survivor testimony, contemporary documents, and maps tell us about life and death in the camp? I have already conducted two research trips to Germany and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and have compiled a significant amount of survivor memoirs and testimony, court documents, Soviet reports, and other materials. The camp offers a unique glimpse into the confluence of extermination and labor policy, survival strategies, and judicial and testimonial memory of both perpetrators and survivors all in the context of a multi-ethnic city of Poles, Jews, and Ukrainians which experienced both Soviet and Nazi occupation. As a result, I am writing a complex, interdisciplinary, integrated history combining perpetrator, victim, and bystander perspectives.
In connection with this project, I am working on a GIS-project mapping the camp and the ghetto in Lwow with the assistance of the UVA Scholars Lab. This project uses as its starting point information from ghetto work cards, artwork, photographs, and contemporary maps. I have also prepared a digital visualization of one prisoner's artwork in the camp.

We are all used to seeing lists like these - most popular/ best-selling/ most loved/ most donated to charity/ most borrowed from the library etc. etc. But the word "influential" interested me. According to this prize, an influential book is one that has "impacted, shaped or changed readers' lives". Can you think of a novel that has done this for you? I find it hard to think of one that has shaped or changed by life, although there are many books that have impacted me - haunted me for days or weeks (or more) after I've read them. On this blog I've run a blog series on "The Book..." - guest posts on books that have impacted the reader, from Roger Red Hat to The Great Divorce (click on 'The Book' tag below to see all the posts).
As a writer, influence is a different matter. In any art form, people talk about an artist's influences as something that can be seen through their work. It has become a cliche now for authors to say they don't want to be "the next JK Rowling/Iain Banks/Stephen King/whoever", they want to be the first one of themselves. I think it's obvious enough that we all want to be good writers in our own right, and not seen as jumping on any stylistic bandwagon. But that doesn't mean it's bad to be influenced by great writers. It's OK for political writers to be influenced by Orwell, or fantasy writers to adopt a flippant tone reminiscent of Terry Pratchett, so long as it's not an imitation.
So, are you influenced in your writing? I don't think I have any particular authors that have a deep impact on my (current!) style, but I have conciously tried to learn from published authors when it comes to certain aspects of my writing: the stark, brilliant descriptive power of John Steinbeck; the poetic prose of Gabriel Garcia Marquez; the gripping familiarity of Lionel Shriver; the suspense of Gillian Flynn. I wouldn't say any of that is obvious in my writing yet though!
So, back to the list of influential women writers. I have read the 13 green ones on the list and loved most of them. How about you? Am I missing out on the books I haven't read yet?
- To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
- The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
- Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
- Harry Potter - JK Rowling
- Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

You've been warned: Stop asking Ben Affleck about Batman!
In a red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star said the constant Batman questions are a "pain in the ass," especially because they overshadow his current project, Live by Night.
"Oh my God, it's such a pain in the ass," Ben said in the clip posted to Twitter. "It's, like, every time I mention Batman it gets this huge click bait. And when I was doing this movie [Live by Night], it took me two years to get it together, but no one ever asked me 'Where is Live by Night?'"
He continued, "They ask me, 'Batman, Batman, Batman.' Batman is coming along. It's going to be great. We're going to make something really special. We're going to take the time to make it right. We're going to do it good. We're going to do it the right way and the fans are going to love it."
It's clearly a sore spot for the actor, because he basically said the exact same thing during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week.
"I'm gonna direct the next Batman. We're working on it," he revealed to host Jimmy, but then groused, "It's one of those things that's really frustrating because, like with Live by Night, it took me a year and a half to write it and get it ready and I worked really hard. It's just nobody gave a sh*t. No one was like 'Where's Live by Night!? But with Batman, I keep getting the, like, 'Where's the f***ing Batman?!' and I'm, like, 'Bro, I'm workin,' give me a second!"
Speaking of Live by Night, it follows an outlaw during Prohibition-era America who finds himself in deep trouble after double-crossing a dangerous mob boss. It's currently playing across North America. ~Shelby Morton
What do you think — is Ben justified or should he just stop complaining? Tell us below!
We feel for you, @BenAffleck– and that sounds absolutely perfect. Take all the time in the world you need to get the #Batman movie right! pic.twitter.com/2X33gEDi64

For the first time in history Swedish fighter jets touched down on Estonian ground on 2 October 2014. Together with Finnish jets the two large Scandinavian countries started a series of air combat training with the NATO air forces of Estland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Canada and Germany. Base of operations for it all: Ämari Airbase in Estonia, which until February this year was not taken much seriously. That has all changed after Russia sent military forces into the Crimean Peninsula and Eastern Ukraine.
During the exercise the participating countries will train on intercepting other aircraft. A trick that not only NATO, Sweden and Finland, but also Russia is doing a lot these days. A Flygvapnet S 102B Korpen (Swedish Air Force Electronic Signals gathering version of the Gulfstream IVS) was almost body checked recently in international airspace over the Baltic Sea by a heavily armed Russian Su-27 Flanker fighter launched from Kaliningrad. This Russian enclave is squeezed between Lithuania and Poland. The news and photos taken by the Swedish signal intelligence organisation personnel on board the S 102B was first published by Swedish quality newspaper Svenska Dagbladet on Thursday 1 October 2014.
Officially the training from Ämari is more peaceful and aimed at intercepting an aircraft with which radio contact has been lost. Part of the scenario is that the four Swedish JAS 39C Gripen fighters and at least a pair of Finnish F-18s make the first interception and then transfer the responsibility to NATO's Baltic Air Policing (BAP). During the exercise the BAP is provided by a pair of Portuguese Air Force F-16s, a pair of Royal Canadian Air Force CF-188s and up to four German Air Force EF2000s. A single Estonian L-410 transport aircraft is the "catch" during the exercise, which has given its crew excellent photo opportunities of the intercepting fighter aircraft.
The Luftwaffe Eurofighters are temporarily based in Estonia for the BAP mission, while the RCAF Hornets and Força Aérea Portuguesa Fighting Falcons flew over from their BAP base in Lithuania for the duration of the exercise. All fighters, including the Swedish Gripens return to their forward operation bases or homebases after the day's exercise to join the action again the next day. For the Swedes that means RTB Ronneby, near the main naval base of Karlskrona in the southeast of the country.

EU #telecoms: What's a stronger word for 'disappointment'?
EENA's reaction to the publication of the #telecoms proposal by the European Commission.
14 September 2016 – The European Commission unveiled today its proposal for the update of the telecommunications framework legislation.
Its lack of ambition is disappointing. The unmotivated provisions on emergency services in the proposal (Article 102) neither benefit from today's technologies nor address today's problems.
Close to nothing is done to tackle the problem of emergency caller location from mobiles (75% of total emergency calls). But emergency services access from Over-the-Top services, or OTTs, (e.g. Skype Out) has a central role, although it represents an insignificant proportion. This shows how the European Commission focuses where it is not needed, while neglecting real access to emergency services problems.
Where are we?
In many countries, accuracy for emergency calls from mobiles is on average 2 km; in others it is received by fax after 28 minutes. GNSS data, including Galileo, should be utilised. Advanced Mobile Location (AML), deployed in Estonia and the UK, uses both GNSS and Wi-Fi. Google enabled AML on all Android phones globally and it is a shame the European Commission does not benefit from this.
What does the proposal add?
The need to use GNSS and Wi-Fi data to improve caller location is only mentioned in a non-binding way.
What is the minimum Europeans should expect?
Handset-derived information is recognised as a valuable tool but the proposal does not benefit from such technologies. Caller location, one of the main problems of emergency services, is treated as secondary. The use of GNSS data and Wi-Fi should be a clear legislative obligation.
Where are we?
Nice, Paris, Brussels... The list could go on. We need an EU-wide public warning system notifying Europeans on their mobile phones about ongoing/upcoming disasters and threats.
What does the proposal add?
Despite the well-known security threats and ever-likely disasters, the European Commission does not proceed with any provision on an EU-wide public warning mechanism.
What is the minimum Europeans should expect?
Legislation should include the intent of the EU to establish a pan-European public warning mechanism as soon as possible. Such a system should allow Europeans to be notified directly on their mobile phone.
Where are we?
EU legislation states that disabled users should enjoy equal access to that of other end-users. But means of accessing emergency services are insufficient, or, in some Member States non-existent.
What does the proposal add?
No important additions are made.
What is the minimum Europeans should expect?
Provisions on accessibility are encouraging but the updated legislation should consider the implementation failures of the past and push towards real equal access.
Where are we?
EU law mandates countries to ensure citizens are adequately informed about 112. But 25 years after its establishment, 112 is unknown by the majority of Europeans as the European emergency number.
What does the proposal add?
No important additions are made.
What is the minimum Europeans should expect?
Abstract terms, such as "adequately informed" create obstacles to implementation. Legislation should provide clear guidelines and objectives. Moreover, the European Commission should allow for awareness to be actively undertaken by the EU institutions.
So what are we left with?
The telecommunications legislation is an opportunity for the EU to show added-value to Europeans' safety. But emergency access is largely left untouched, with significant problems remaining unaddressed.
EENA will continue to push hard for emergency access improvement to benefit citizens' interests. We remain available to contribute any way we can towards that goal.

|Who can I ask if I need more information?
The responsible persons at the German National Library can be contacted via the following e-mail address for all organisational, technical and content related questions: email@example.com
|What other practical experiences are there regarding allocation, administration and registration of Persistent Identifiers?
The discussion list email@example.com provides a forum for the exchange of information and experiences with other institutions using Persistent Identifiers. At the same time this is intended to facilitate a discussion of this subject on a theoretical level. Please find information on subscribing in the Mailing list.
|What are the advantages of Persistent Identifiers?
Persistent Identifiers can replace URLs in catalogues or other reference systems or they can be used as stable references in documents themselves. The maintenance involved in updating references is thereby reduced. Digital publications have globally unique identifiers, with which they can be more reliably cited.
|To what can URNs administered at the German National Library assigned?
URNs from the namespace "nbn:de" are currently assigned for the following types of document:
|How is a URN constructed?
URNs comprise several hierarchically constructed components. These are the namespace (Namespace, NID) which is itself composed of severalSubnamespaces, SNID, such as for example "URN:NID:SNID-NISS".
|What is the structure of the URNs administered at the German National Library?
URNs administered at the German National Library have the following general structure:
urn:nbn:de:[designations of library association]:[official notation of university libraries]-[unique production number][check digit]
URNs are assigned with the following structure for libraries outside a library consortium:
urn:nbn:de:[four digit numeric code]-[unique number][check digit]
|Where can I get information to test the application of URNs?
|Can URNs be entered directly into a browser's address line?
|What is the procedure for allocating URNs for online thesis and dissertations?
If you are already registered to report online thesis and dissertations at the German National Library, then you are simultaneously registered for the URN procedure as well. You will then receive a URN sub-namespace, starting with "urn:nbn:de" from the German National Library. For this please contact the responsible persons at the German National Library via e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. This will mean you can allocate URNs and report them to the German National Library. You can find introductory information on this by consulting Uniform Resource Name (URN) administration and organisation for university libraries.
|What steps are required to register URNs at the German National Library?
The established registration process for online thesis and dissertations has been extended to cover the initial registration of URNs. This means that URNs can be registered at the German National Library via the existing transfer interfaces , along with metadata in METADISS format This specifically affects the following points:
More detailed information can be found at FAQ document "Archiving online academic publications at the German National Library" and under the point "Deutsche Nationalbibliothek".
|How long does it take to register a URN?
The German National Library first processes the online thesis and dissertations and then registers the URNs with a delay of 1 to 2 hours.
|How can URNs for online thesis and dissertations be retrospectively assigned?
A web form can be used for subsequent registration of dissertations which are already archived at the German National Library. This form is available in the restricted access area.
In the case of large scale multiple registrations, interested parties will be sent a file containing all the information required (IDN and URL of the university library) in a fixed format. URNs assigned subsequently must be added to these details. The file is then sent back to the German National Library. A comparison is then made with the catalogue of the German National Library every six months (in June and December) so that additional work is minimised. If you are interested in this you can contact the responsible persons via e-mail email@example.com. You will then receive detailed information and examples.
For users of OPUS there is script available to automatically generate URNs retrospectively and to capture this information in OPUS. This is located on the internal OPUS software site, ready to be downloaded.
|What is the procedure for allocating URNs for networked publications?
If you are registered to report networked publications to the German National Library, then you are simultaneously also registered to process URNs. You will use the same verification details. You will then receive a URN sub-namespace. The relevant staff member within the German National Library will allocate this. You can contact the responsible person at firstname.lastname@example.com. The next step is to allocate a complete URN and to register the networked publication using the interactive registration form at the German National Library. The URN will then be automatically registered.
|How are URNs structured?
URNs are structured in accordance with guidelines in the URN strategy at the German National Library.
|How are URNs for networked publications reported to the German National Library?
An interactive registration form is available for
networked publications that have already been registered at the German National Library. There you can enter the URN
and the associated URL.
|How quickly are URNs for networked publications registered?
URNs for networked publications are slightly delayed (up to a maximum of two hours) after the catalogue record has been created.
|What points must be noted in order to allocate URNs for an entire document server?
URN assignment is linked to requirements such as secure archiving, aspects of long-term archiving and the requirement to update URLs. These can be consulted in the URN strategy at the German National Library. Criteria for authorised document servers are taken from the DINI Certification. If an institution meets these conditions, then a URN sub-namespace will be allocated by the German National Library. If these conditions are not adhered to, then the resolver's error messages will be referred to the institution responsible for the URN sub-namespace.
|What steps are required to assign URNs for an entire document server?
|How are URNs for an entire document server reported to the German National Library?
Comprehensive transfer interface details can be found at Service.
|What happens if duplicate URNs are accidentally allocated?
The German National Library performs a check for duplicate entires before a URN is registered. If an error message is generated, then the URN will not be registered. The institution concerned will be notified.
|What transfer methods are there for registering URNs at the German National Library?
The German National Library is able to receive data created as part of the URN management process in various ways. You can then choose whichever method can best be integrated into your institution's existing workflow.
|How is the last part of a URN, the "NISS", formed?
The NISS element can consist of a running number, a unique production number or a combination of a date and a
running number. Alpha-numeric acronyms are also possible. No set number of characaters needs to be specified
as this can be expanded as necessary.
|How is the URN check digit created?
The URN check digit refers to the "urn:nbn:de:[...]" character string and is added immediately following the last character of the URN. The aim of this is to validate the character string.
The URN check digit can be calculated using a web form. A Perl script can also be supplied on request which will calculate check digits automatically.
You will find a verbal desrciption of the check digit algorithm here.
|How are URNs updated if they are subsequently changed?
|How can stable links be created in an online catalogue?
The URN can be displayed as a clickable link in an online catalogue as follows:
|How are URNs captured in bibliographic descriptions
and how are they delivered via other data services of the German National Library?
From 1 August 2004, Persistent Identifiers will be tranferred to MAB as follows:
(see MAB documentation)
URNs will currently be indexed in the form "urn:nbn:de:gbv:089-3321752945" in
series H (Online thesis and dissertations) and series A (Publications from publishing houses) of the
German National Bibliography.
|How are DOIs handled?
Whenever networked publications with DOIs are registered at the German National Library, then the DOI can be captured in MAB field 552 of the bibliographic description (see MAB documentation) and thus be supplied via bibliographic data services.

Youth injuries are frightening to everyone for a variety of reasons. From a parent's perspective, knowing that your child hurt is reason enough to pull them out of any sport for the rest of their lives. Your kids – and possibly their coach – worry that they may never be able to play again.
Thankfully, our body has strong muscles and bones that make us able to re-cooperate with a little rest; or with more extreme cases, some physical therapy. While allowing your child to play a sport has its potential risks, here are some very common injuries that can arise from intramural and team sports.
Sprains & Strains
Many people can get the two of these injuries confused, but they are actually quite different. Sprains are ligament injuries that prevent excessive movement of the joints. Ankle sprains are quite common in sports like soccer, while wrist sprains can occur in football, basketball, and tennis
Strains can injure muscles or tendons. Due to the fact that we are dealing with bundles of cells that produce movement – muscles – and tissue that cushions the bones – tendons – most parts of the body are susceptible to injury.
Growth Plate Injury
The growth plate is an area in children and adolescents that holds developing tissue. When growth is complete, the tissue replaces solid bone. Long bones can include the hands and fingers, the forearms the legs, and the feet. These bone injuries are serious and should be consulted with an orthopedic surgeon.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
Hairline fractures and tendinitis are painful injuries related to stress. It's important to know that these injuries may not always show up on hospital scans while they are still discomforting. Thankfully, a pack of ice and compression will relieve this pain quicker. In the most extreme cases, athletes need crutches, immobilization, and physical therapy.
Keeping kids active is extremely important to us. One thing to remember is that injuries should be reported as soon as they happen. Let us help you get back on the field as soon as possible. Contact us for more information on sports injuries and treatments today.

Heart of Earth
Every picture tells a story.
This is a story of nature, time, a clash of cultures, and the heart. This is one of the few remaining Indian burial mounds in St. Paul's Mounds Park. I was there one afternoon to learn about sacred sites in the Twin Cities from the Dakota perspective. As a photographer, I noticed the soft golden light. I saw the single crow in the tree. I was drawn to the curve of the hill, the lines in the shadows, the natural beauty before me. But my heart was drawn to the story of this place.
At one time there were perhaps hundreds of burial mounds in this area. They were removed in the 1800s to make way for development, excavated for archaeological study, desecrated, robbed of artifacts and bones. The six remaining mounds sit high above the river valley, where the view is breathtaking. Below the mounds at Bruce Vento Wildlife Sanctuary, there is a cave that the Dakota call Wakan Tipi. It is also known as Carver's Cave. There are ancient petroglyphs on the walls that you can still see, though the entrance is barricaded with a gate. A spring sacred to the Dakota flows from that cave and was visited by pregnant women. It represents birth. Up above at the mounds, we have the representation of death. If you consider the Dakota worldview that we come from the earth, our Mother, and are eventually returned to the earth when we die, you can see the cycle of life in this geographic location.
Knowing the story, I see more in this photograph. The mound looks to me like a pregnant belly. The shadows of branches are arteries. The earth is living, breathing, constantly growing and changing. I am reminded again that we are connected to each other and to everything around us. I ask myself what I can do to make those connections positive and meaningful. I can start by sharing the story.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is planning to allow mutual funds, banks and insurance companies to participate in commodity derivatives market said Sebi chairman UK Sinha on Friday.
Sinha said after the merger of the Forward Markets Commission (FMC) with Sebi on September 28, 2015, the market watchdog has taken several steps to ensure proper risk management and improved surveillance for the commodity markets.
"If we look at background in which all of this has happened, our first priority had been and will continue to ensure that there is very active surveillance and the risk management system on the commodity side as robust and as strong as Sebi has been developed on the security side, " said Sinha.
The fraud at the National Spot Exchange Ltd prompted Centre to merge the FMC with Sebi to improve regulation of the commodity market. Since the merger, Sebi has tightened surveillance mechanisms and introduced a slew of norms to deepen the market.
Earlier this week, Sebi allowed trading options on the commodity derivatives exchanges. Before this Sebi introduced several new concepts to deal with the risk prevalent in the commodities market. Some of them include– enhancement in initial margins to have better risk coverage, concentration margins on big positions and tools for handling default such as liquidation in normal market and auction of positions.
"We will go for cautious development in the commodity derivatives market and the caution that we are exercising is primarily to align the system on the commodity derivatives side to those on the equities side," said Sinha.
Sebi has laid down elaborate guidelines for 'minimum standards' and 'governance' to improve the standards of warehouses and develop the warehousing sector said Sinha. Earlier this year, the regulator had constituted an Advisory Committee, headed by Prof. Ramesh Chand, Member of NITI Aayog, to discuss most important issues of the commodities market such as improving hedgers participation, improving liquidity of the contracts, having objectives criteria for introducing new commodities to the futures trading, improving price polling mechanism and bringing new participants, institutional as well as non-institutional to the market.
Apart from announcements of the commodity issues, the regulator on Friday said that it was prepared for severe market volatility at all times.
"In addition, Sebi is in continuous dialogue with the exchanges. For example since yesterday (Thursday) morning we were constantly monitoring the fact whether there were any chances of default across the market-place or not, whether positions were heavily loaded (skewed) or not which could eventually lead to a default. Alerting markets and keeping communication lines open on a continuous basis with the markets is an exercise we do routinely when such situations arise," said, Rajeev Kumar Agarwal, Whole-Time Member of Sebi.

So I've had this Deviant Art account for 7 years and never uploaded into it! So finally got a start on putting up some images today. A lot of what I uploaded linked to other current galleries on my website, or Flickr. Didn't want to over load my DA section with every little piece of crap I have saved!
Obviously from here on out, I'm not going to be doing massive uploads like the dump today. I should be keeping up with new pieces day by day now. Been at it for a while now, so it's getting late. Cutting out of here and will write more tomorrow!

COMPANY: Microsoft Bing | ROLE: UX and Framework designer | YEAR: 2013-2014
When a user searches for "What is Tom Cruise's height?" or "What's the weather in Seattle?" Bing uses its huge repository of data to find the answer to a user's question, without the user having to search for it. This engine powers not only Bing.com but Windows 10 Smart Search. This called for a need for a design system that could accommodate different data types and scale to different sizes, depending on the device and the context.
The Back Story
Bing had six answer templates for the desktop experience and six for the mobile experience. The templates were inflexible and the design was outdated. Because different answer types require different needs, the templates were rarely used. Everyone started to create custom designs for desktop and mobile, and eventually, the experience became confusing and disjointed.
Upending how templates worked
I designed a new system that replaced templates with common modular components. These components allowed designers to swap out parts of the answer with different components, allowing for more flexibility but still maintaining a cohesive design across all answers. This example shows that the answer uses the same top component but different supplementary components.
Answers on Bing can appear in three different areas on the desktop: at the top of the search results, in the autosuggest The system defined how answers would scale on different parts of the page.
Here's an example of the weather answer scaling across the different parts of the page.
Here are some example of new components that I created.
I also designed a system that would scale answers to iPhone, Windows Phone and Windows Smart Search

These are thick times for basketball at Mansfield Timberview.
A UIL boys state championship this weekend would be the only way to top the Timberview girls runner-up finish, after the Wolves lost a heartbreaker to Canyon 47-45 on Saturday at the Alamodome in the Class 5A final.
"It makes it a special year to have such talented, excellent basketball squads at the same time," said girls coach Kit Martin, who is also the school's athletic coordinator. "No doubt, we respect and support each other. We would have loved a double state title year, but I'll settle for one gold and one silver."
In recent years, the opportunity to send both basketball teams to state has presented itself more frequently than one might think.
Last season, San Antonio-area school Cibolo Steele sent its boys and girls teams to the 6A state semifinals, but neither advanced to the final. In 2012-13, the Brock girls won the 2A championship, while the boys finished in second place.
A boys state title for Timberview (30-7) would be the first in school history. The Wolves' only other state tourney appearance came in 2009, when they lost to eventual Class 4A state champion Houston Yates in the semifinals.
But first, Timberview, which was ranked No. 7 in the final Texas Association of Basketball Coaches 5A poll, will have to get through No. 25 Corpus Christi Veterans Memorial (31-6) in the semifinals on Thursday. Memorial features a full complement of shooters and a strong junior class that includes a 6-7 presence inside in forward Will Chayer.
Memorial and Timberview do have a common opponent this year, despite the 409 miles that separate the schools. Memorial lost 63-61 to Mansfield Summit in the Spring Creek Barbeque Invitational tournament in early December. Timberview beat Summit by an average of 16.5 points in two district games.
"They're darn good," Timberview coach Duane Gregory said of Memorial. "But our guys have been tested before this season, and hopefully that will be evident this weekend."
For much of his core group, when Gregory says tested, he means for three seasons now. While seniors Tim Johnson and Williams Owens lead the way, juniors Chris Mullins and Isaac Likekele have played varsity ball for Gregory since their freshman year.
"The biggest thing it's given them is the great chemistry they play with, and understanding how to play the game the right way," Gregory said. "Here at Timberview, we don't care how old you are. If you're physically and mentally ready to play at a higher level, get ready. This group showed us they were ready, and now they're seasoned."
Youth limited Timberview's run two years ago to a first-round loss to Dallas South Oak Cliff. With Thomas added to the varsity backcourt last year, the Wolves reached the Region II semifinals.
Timberview topped its biggest hurdle to date in a 45-44 win over No. 3 Waxahachie in the Region II final. The Wolves went 0-2 in District 10-5A play against the Indians.

"To have both teams go to the state tournament, that's something the school is really fired up about," Gregory said. "We anticipate a lot of support in San Antonio, just like the girls got, but we'll make some of our own noise, too."

A man who was attacked in a savage revenge beating after he dared to confront a teenager vandalising his home has died, almost a year after the incident.
Derek Wildeman, 42, stormed outside to confront a 13-year-old boy after yobs tried to set fire to a boarded up window at his terraced home.
But he paid a tragic price after the lad went home and told local 'hardman' Steven Quigley, 31, who reacted with fury and recruited his uncle to avenge the "slight".
After telling the boy he was going to smash Mr Wildeman's "head in", Quigley put on a black hat and black gloves, took the teenager with him and at 2am clambered through the victim's window.
Mr Wildeman- who had learning difficulties - came face to face with Quigley and was immediately punched to the floor before being repeatedly battered about the head and body.
He was so badly injured in the thrashing he was left in coma with multiple fractures to the head and face and needed complex surgery.
Yesterday police said that he has now died, a year after the attack on February 24, 2013.
For the last year he had been unable to eat, drink, speak or do anything for himself and required 24-hour nursing care.
Quigley is currently serving life in prison after he admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
His uncle Gary, 43, pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm and was jailed for 20 months.
Police said discussions will now take place with the CPS to decide if any further charges will be brought.
After the pair were jailed in October last year Mr Wildeman's mother Isabelle, 65, said: "Steven Quigley is not safe to be on the streets for what he did to my son. Derek is now effectively a cabbage and it makes me so sad.
"What can you say about what's happened? I think it's disgusting. How can anybody do something like that?
"I can't come to terms with what has happened to my son. I am at the hospital every day and have been since he was admitted. Steven Quigley effectively killed him in all but name."
Quigley must serve a minimum of six years before being considered for release. He will remain on licence for the rest of his life.
The court heard he had a string of previous convictions for violence including assault, harassment and criminal damage.

Mini Bucket Bag (Champagne)
Designer: MISCHA
$169.00 $239.00
Free Shipping within Singapore.
Founded in 2004 as a passion project, MISCHA embodies the personal style and sensibilities of its founder and creative director, Michelle Lai. Bridging the world of fashion and lifestyle, and inspired by the intrepid spirit of the women of today, MISCHA embraces both modern and classical perspectives in its design philosophy, centred around simple, timeless creations. The brand is best known for its iconic hexagon print tote bags and accessories, becoming a travel and style essential for the global citizen.
Like many things in life, Michelle's journey with MISCHA has been a serendipitous one and not without a spark of madness. Her interest in fashion started at a very young age. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Michelle was particularly close to her grandmother, a skillful seamstress who ensured the women of the household were always impeccably dressed. This attention to detail and hands on approach was to become the basis of Michelle's artistic endeavours.
After gaining a degree in Biomedical Sciences at Kings College London, Michelle began a career in education. However, it was not long before her passion for travel, art and creative pursuits lead her in a new direction. In 2004 Michelle debuted her maiden collection of hand-stitched vintage Japanese obi clutches. They quickly gained a cult following and MISCHA was launched in 2008. In search for a way to make her mark, Michelle created The Travel Series in 2010, the first collection to feature the brand's signature hexagon print.
Michelle has featured in Forbes as "one of Asia's handbag brands to have successfully gone global." She has also been interviewed by Harper's Bazaar, People Style Magazine and Cosmopolitan, among other notable magazines. Michelle has a long standing commitment to empowering women, expressed through her work with The Women's Foundation and charities supporting girls education. Michelle was invited to be a speaker at TEDx Youth Hong Kong in 2013 and was featured in Star World TV's Inspiring Women special for International Women's Day in 2014.
"My goal is to create a global lifestyle brand for women who are confident with their own personal style and to become a contemporary classic."

Which does your state prefer you focus on: efficiency or effectiveness? Or perhaps both are equally important. No matter the answer, this question poses a challenge for IT leaders who work in university systems across the country.
Efficiency typically comes from a more centralized university system, while effectiveness typically comes from a decentralized system. But both efficiency and effectiveness are important, particularly as states are now increasingly looking for students to graduate faster and be better prepared to contribute to society.
And that causes a dilemma that university systems struggle to solve.
In Nevada, "We have made a conscious decision to be more centralized, because it's been a circus," said Steven Zink, vice chancellor for information technology at the Nevada System of Higher Education.
In Nevada, higher education is moving to a common system in the cloud for applications, enrollment, registration and financial aid that's scheduled to go live in October 2016.
Leaders in the system also established common data definitions and centralized purchasing. After all, it's tough to figure out student graduation rates when everyone across the system has a different idea of what that data should look like. And when states tie graduation rates to funding, the stakes are even higher, making good data an imperative.
On the flip side, Maryland has tried three different approaches since the mid '90s. When the University System of Maryland was highly centralized, it was efficient, but not effective. Now the system has implemented a different approach that swung the other direction, according to Donald Z. Spicer, associate vice chancellor for information technology and CIO at the University System of Maryland.
"The state set us up to be highly decentralized, and then year after year, they say, 'Why aren't you more efficient?'"
This is one of the major challenges facing university systems today, and higher education leaders are still trying to figure out how to deal with it. As Zink says, "It's a really delicate balance."

"Reading with the Angels" is a reading program that was the inspiration of retired teacher Kate Capion and Fur Angels founder Martha Hall.
The therapy dogs are the ideal audience, providing a positive, non-intimidating and fun environment to a child who is just learning to read and struggling with new words. The dogs don't tease or rush the child as they read a story aloud at their own speed and proficiency. Instead of getting flustered or embarrassed, the children read aloud with focus and confidence. Their fear is soon replaced by self-esteem and determination.The reading program has been a motivator to encourage better reading skills and self confidence in children.
The members of the "Fur Angels" who participate in this program must first go through extra training and be qualified to help with reading. Members are supervised at all times in the schools and libraries.
Those interested in learning more about the work of the "Fur Angels" may visit the group's website at www.thefurangels.org or email at: firstname.lastname@example.com
