Project name: Unlocking the potential for business and social innovation in the Danube region by equipping young people with new generation skills
Programme priority: Innovative and socially responsible Danube region
Programme priority specific objective: Increase competences for business and social innovation
Lead partner: Local Government and Municipality of District 11 of Budapest, Újbuda
Duration: 01.2017 – 06.2019
Open official project website.
Young generations have the potential to be pro-active engines of innovation and become change-makers in their local communities. However, 62% of young people in Central and Eastern Europe are not interested in starting their own business, whereas one in five would like to, but consider it too difficult. This weak entrepreneurial culture and missing innovation management capacities are recognized as a key challenge in the Danube Region. Unlocking youth's unexploited potential starts at local level by developing their skills and competences and creating an enabling environment to help them become their ideas grow their innovative ideas into ventures with high social added value, potentially taken up by the private & public sectors transnationally.
The project will upgrade existing cooperation mechanisms between its key target group of quadruple helix actors including local municipalities, as facilitators, along with organisations representing local youth, education, and the business sector to create innovative local support schemes going beyond existing fragmented initiatives taking the form of INNOVATION LABS joined in a transnational network. Interweaving innovation and youth entrepreneurship support will contribute to bridging the gap between education and new generation skills needed for navigating in the changing world of work. Through organic, community based learning programs – DYNAMIC LEARNING PACKAGE, this novel support scheme will reach out to the youth, in particular young people (aged 15-29) in transition from education to the labour market, faced with major career decisions, who are motivated, but inadequately skilled to generate new ideas and take the first steps towards socially responsible, transformative entrepreneurship.
This youth focussed innovation support process will ultimately lead to better economic performance, lower brain drain and have a positive impact on the quality of the local working/living environment.

To me, looking at child prisoners in Israel was a way of looking at the political situation there from a new angle.
To do that meant getting unprecedented access to the Al-Aqsa Brigade and the Israeli military courts where children are held in shackles. Even when we flew out, we didn't know if we were going to get access or not. But there was no way we were going to secretly film. We could have gone in there posing as charity workers, but that's not fair on Israel, and is just not the way to do it.
It was about relationship building and reassuring the Israeli authorities. Right up to the 11th hour, we still didn't know if we were guaranteed access, but we had to reassure them that it would be a thorough, impartial look at how the conflict is affecting the children. The negotiations were in London, and then we went out there to film for three weeks.
I'm used to going undercover, and the difficulty with this was that I had to be completely honest about what I was doing, and that's why it took so long.
I went on a hostile-environment training course before I went out, and everything I learned I put into practice in the first 20 minutes of filming. We went to the West Bank to film children throwing stones at the armed trucks, which happens every Friday afternoon after prayers. It's a ridiculous game of cat and mouse: What can a stone do to an armoured truck? But each side provokes the other.
What we didn't realise was that a number of child prisoners were being released that day.
The crowd of children was unusually large and there was a very heavy IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) presence.
It soon became clear that the IDF didn't want us to film, and one of the soldiers started firing rubber bullets at us. He fired twice and that was clearly a warning to get out. But we didn't; we carried on filming and tracked down the kids who had been injured.
You need to play each side up on their own concerns. With the Israelis, I promised I would show why it's necessary to imprison Palestinian children. With the Palestinians, I had to promise I would show what effect the Israeli occupation was having on their children, and that's exactly what I did.
Both sides were happy with the result. It's one of those films where the viewer makes up their own mind.

The Heuristic Program Checking tool generates warning messages for dubious programming constructs and violation of naming conventions for an ECLiPSe source module or file. It is loaded as follows:
:- lib(lint).
The heuristic rules currently enforced are based on the style guide of Appendix E. These rules are somewhat limited in scope. The library is distributed as source and serves to provide a framework for the addition of a more comprehensive set of rules that are tailored to each individual developer.
Consider the following typographic mistakes in the n-queens example:
queen(Data, Out) :- qperm(Datas, Out), safe(Out). n0diag([], _, _).
The tool is invoked using the lint/1 predicate with the source file specified as an atom or string:
?- lint(queen). --- File /tmp/queen.ecl, line 4: Singleton variables: [Data, Datas] --- File /tmp/queen.ecl, line 22: Questionable predicate name: n0diag Yes (0.01s cpu)
The checker identifies Data and Datas as being singleton variables and is dubious of the n0diag predicate name. Both are the result of programmer error, Datas should read Data and n0diag as nodiag. The lint/2 predicate allows a list of options to be specified that turn on and off the heuristic rules.

What is the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme?
The Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme, or ESOS, is a new, mandatory energy assessment and efficiency scheme in the UK that implements parts of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU). ESOS requires participants to carry out energy savings assessments every four years that audit energy used by their buildings, industrial processes and transport, as applicable, in order to identify cost-effective energy saving measures. The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change expects about 9,400 participants in the first phase of the scheme, which ends in 2015. Thereafter, ESOS will run in four-year phases.
ESOS is not exclusive of, and may overlap with, other notable energy use/greenhouse gas reduction schemes in the UK, in particular the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, Climate Change Agreements and the EU Emissions Trading System. Broadly speaking, ESOS places a greater emphasis on the identification of energy saving opportunities than these other schemes. In addition, the energy use covered by ESOS is likely to be broader than these schemes for many participants.
Who is Caught by the Scheme?
ESOS will apply to all entities that are "large undertakings." Large undertakings are, among others, corporate bodies or partnerships organised in the UK and carrying on trade or business that either:
- employ at least 250 people; or
- have an annual turnover over €50 million AND an annual balance sheet over €43 million.
For the first phase, these are measured during the financial year ending at, or in the 12 months immediately preceding, 31 December 2014, which is known as the "qualification date."
Owners, managers and partners count as employees for purposes of assessing whether an undertaking exceeds the 250 people threshold. There are additional rules about how to count employees in light of changes to headcount during the financial year.
Corporate Groups
Corporate groups must comply with ESOS if at least one UK group member meets the definition of a large undertaking. In this event, the entire UK operations of the corporate group will be required to participate (the energy usage of overseas undertakings in a group is outside scope). To determine the extent of a participant's corporate group for ESOS, companies must apply the UK Companies Act 2006 definitions of parent undertaking and subsidiary undertaking to the participant's corporate structure.
The default expectation is that the highest partner undertaking organised in the UK will take the lead responsibility for compliance on the group's behalf. However, ESOS allows flexibility for group members to "disaggregate," meaning that, for example, subsidiaries may participate in ESOS separately from other members of the wider corporate group. Participants must notify the Environment Agency, the regulator that administers ESOS, of any disaggregation when they notify of compliance with the scheme.
Changes in Organisational Structure and Their Impact on Qualification for the Scheme
Any organisation that qualifies for ESOS on the qualification date (31 December 2014 for the first phase) will need to comply with ESOS, including organisations that qualify via their group on the qualification date but leave this group prior to the compliance date (which, as explained below, is 5 December 2015 for the first phase). Such an undertaking, or group thereof, can do this in any one of the following ways:
- Agreeing in writing with its previous highest parent that it will participate in ESOS along with this previous group.
- Agreeing in writing with its new highest parent that it will participate in ESOS as part of its new group.
- Participating separately from either its previous or new group and notifying the Environment Agency of its compliance independently.
What Must Group Companies Do if They are Required to Participate in ESOS?
Measure Their Total Energy Consumption
ESOS participants are required to measure their total energy consumption across any 12-month period of their choice that overlaps with the qualification date, which for the first phase is 31 December 2014. This is known as the "reference period." ESOS's scope covers energy consumed in all of the following - depending on certain criteria:
- buildings
- industrial processes
- transport
There are detailed rules about what participants must consider as part of their energy consumption. In general terms, energy that is supplied to and consumed by the participants is in scope. Energy includes combustible fuels, heat, renewable energy and electricity.
Changes in Organisational Structure and Their Impact on Measuring Total Energy Consumption
The energy use in the reference period from assets or activities that are sold or discontinued by a participant group after the qualification date (31 December 2014 for the first phase) but before the compliance date (5 December 2015 for the first phase) does not need to be included in the group's total energy consumption.
Similarly, the energy use in the reference period of assets or activities purchased or commenced after the qualification date but before the compliance date does not need to be included in the group's total energy consumption.
Identify Their Areas of Significant Energy Consumption, which will be Subject to a New ESOS Audit Unless Exempted
Within a phase, all areas of a participant group's "significant" energy consumption must be covered either by (i) an energy audit commissioned specifically for ESOS or (ii) an alternative route to compliance. In this regard, significant means the energy use that accounts for at least 90% of the group's total energy consumption.
There are four alternative routes to compliance. As long as 90% of a participant group's total energy consumption is covered, the group can use a mix of approaches to achieve ESOS compliance:
- Energy management systems certified under ISO 50001
- "Display Energy Certificates" and accompanying advisory reports
- "Green Deal" assessments
- Energy audits undertaken during the audit period under other schemes, such as the Carbon Trust Standard or Logistics Carbon Reduction Scheme, as long as those audits meet the minimum standards of an ESOS audit
There are detailed requirements on what ESOS audits must contain. Broadly, they must be based on 12 months' verifiable data, analyse the group's energy consumption and efficiency, and identify energy saving opportunities.
Appoint a Lead Assessor to Carry Out, Oversee or Approve the Energy Audit(s)
The participant group must appoint a "lead assessor" to carry out, oversee or approve an energy audit commissioned for ESOS compliance. Lead assessors can also review audits carried out pursuant to the alternate routes to compliance, in order to confirm they meet the minimum ESOS standards.
Lead assessors may be either in-house experts or external consultants, as long as they are members of professional registers approved by the Environment Agency.
Report ESOS Compliance to the Environment Agency
The participant group must notify the Environment Agency that it has completed the required ESOS assessment on or before the "compliance date," which for the first phase is 5 December 2015. The notification is done on a prescribed form. There is no pre-registration of qualification required under ESOS.
The participant group must keep internal records of how it has complied with ESOS in an evidence pack, although there is no set format for this.
What Happens if a Company Does not Comply?
The relevant regulator, including the Environment Agency, is empowered to issue enforcement notices and civil sanctions (including civil penalties) to non-complying ESOS participants. The regulator will also be empowered to publicly name non-compliant entities on its website and describe the nature of the breach and the amount of penalty imposed on them.

'Dancing With the Stars'' Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 'I Don't Regret' Talking Back to Judges (Video)
Maksim Chmerkovskiy has no plans to apologize after telling off the Dancing With the Stars judges on Monday's show.
"The last time I apologized was to my grandma when she was dying with cancer," the pro said on Good Morning America Wednesday morning. "I definitely have nothing to apologize to Len. Certainly not to Carrie Ann. She can make all those faces she wants."
PHOTOS: 'Dancing With the Stars' Season 13: Rehearsals
Continued Chmerkovskiy, "I love the show. I love the fans. I love every aspect of it, the whole idea that came out behind [me saying it was] my show, I feel like it's my family, my home.
"One thing I'm not going to embrace is pointing fingers and disrespectful remarks," continued Chmerkovskiy, referring to Goodman telling his partner Hope Solo that she'd had her worst week on the show on Monday. "Why are judges allowed to compare us to animals and point their fingers and we can't say we're work and show our opinion?"
Chmerkovskiy says that fellow pro Lacey Schwimmer has "been very supportive" as has Tony Dovolani. "To be quite frank, I don't really think about everyone else's opinions. I do know some others voiced opinions to be on the judge's side. They're entitled to their own."

Chmerkovskiy continued, "I had a long conversation with my dad and I don't regret anything. That's why I think I'm misunderstood in this situation. Everyone is waiting for me to bow my head and plead for forgiveness. I have nothing to apologize for. I'm in the business because I love it. I can't really lose with remarks like this.
"Guys, it's really simple," continued Chmerkovskiy, who is originally from Ukraine. "Seventeen years ago I was given an opportunity to live in a country where I can actually exercise my freedom of speech. What people don't know is where I grew up, it wasn't possible. I'm a winner. There's nothing that can bring me down."

The Thoughts Of Foolishness
In contrast to heavenly wisdom, worldly wisdom exalts self, focuses on the present, trusts the flesh, and relies only on what it can see or do for itself.
King James Bible Study - Help in the Time of Need
The Issue:
The Basic Truths Of Life!
Everyone that ever walked on this planet must come to terms in this life with some basic TRUTHS. These will be the basic truths that no one can argue with, if they are sane. Of course, if you believe what God says in His Own BOOK about you, then you will have no problem with accepting these basic truths.
1. The Brevity Of Life
"For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." (James 4:14b) Our life is brief! like a vapor, or like smoke. "Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?" (Job 7:1) He is born, and then he will die! This is certain! (The exception being Enoch and Elijah, and also, those believers in Jesus Christ who are alive when He comes for His Church.)
2. The Brevity Of Your Remembrance
You will soon be forgotten. A man is remembered only a little while, and then he is forgotten. "He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness." (Job 7:10 & 10:20-22)
3. The Sureness Of Trouble
Life is bale full of troubles. I have also found this very true!!! "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not." (Job 14:1).
4. The Verity Of The White Throne Judgment
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). You will not miss this one unless YOU ARE HID in the CLEFT OF THE ROCK!
5. The Eternality And The Finality Of What You Do With Jesus Christ:
We will all be held accountable over this issue. It is a hard fact of life, my friend. Now will you take God's offer of eternal life ... purchased by His Son ... for all those who will put their trust in Him ... a thumbs down? You will everlastingly suffer the consequences!
6. That Men Never Learn From History
We learn from History That Men Never Learn From History! It is a heart problem! Men refuse to learn the "lessons" afforded by the light of HISTORY: the recorded historical events which occurred as fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Now, these are the basic truths with which we all must deal with one way or another!
7. What Should You Do?
"But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:
that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"; [Romans 10:8-13]
Believe The BOOK!
The King James Bible
This is God's Holy WORD to you and I! Do you believe it? The A.V.1611 (or The King James Bible) is God's word PRESERVED in the English language for you and me. It came from the English Reformation. This Bible declares that: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." [2 Timothy 3:16] God's inspired word is preserved in the A.V.1611. The word "preserved" means maintained inspiration. "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in the furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." [Psalm 12:6-7] "PRESERVE." .
Home In The Hills:
[Or New Jerusalem]
Everybody is going home someday. Everybody is going to their LONG HOME. When you die, you are going to go to your "long home" whether, it be in "Heaven" or in "Hell". Do you realize that truth? "Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:" [Ecclesiastes 12:5].

The Thoughts Of Foolishness
Daryl R. Coats 2005
"Looking for that blessed hope," (Titus 2:11-14)
"The thought of foolishness is sin: ..."(Proverbs 24:9).
THE BIBLE says that God "created all things" for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). For that reason, God's book instructs men "how ye ought to walk and to please God" (1 Thessalonians 4:1). Because it is impossible to please Him without faith (Hebrews 11:6), God designed His book so that faith comes from hearing it (Romans 10:17). When Christians believe, trust, and obey that book, God works in them "to will and to do his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13).
Because God wants His people to "do his pleasure" (Ezra 10:11), there is no room in believers' lives for foolishness. Because foolishness is a sin (Psalm 69:5; 2 Samuel 24:10; Numbers 12:11; 1 Samuel 13:13; Mark 7:21-23)—and because He takes no pleasure in wickedness (Psalm 5:4)—God "hath no pleasure in fools" (Ecclesiastes 5:4). Because foolishness perverts the way of God (Proverbs 19:3), the Lord warns His people that even "The thought of foolishness is sin: ...."
"The Thought of Foolishness"God defines foolishness as "the wisdom of this world":
"... the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God" (1 Corinthians 3:19).
In contrast to heavenly wisdom (James 3:14-17; 1 Corinthians 2:6-7), worldly wisdom exalts self, focuses on the present, trusts the flesh, and relies only on what it can see or do for itself. Although the schools, cultures, governments, religions, and media of this world endorse and promote it, the "wisdom of this world" is nothing but foolishness (Romans 1:22; 1 Corinthians 1:20).
God says that man thinks in his heart (Hebrews 4:12; Matthew 9:4; Proverbs 23:7; Isaiah 10:7). The "thought of foolishness," therefore, is a heart problem. God also says that as a man "thinketh in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). Because his thoughts control him, any man who thinks a "thought of foolishness" must therefore be a fool. The "thought of foolishness," then, must be the way that a fool thinks in his heart.
How a Fool ThinksThe Bible explains how a fool thinks in his heart:
"THE fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. ..." (Psalm 14:1 and 53:1).
"... God is not in all his thoughts" (Psalm 10:4).
A fool thinks in a way that ignores and thus denies the existence of God (Romans 1:21-22), refusing to receive the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:14). His consequent actions acknowledge God no more than do those of an animal (Psalm 73:22). That means, of course, that a man doesn't have to be an "atheist" to think like one, because any thought that does not include God is an atheistic one!
Jesus told a parable about a rich man whose plans for the future did not include God. For that reason, God called that man a fool.
"But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul is required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God" (Luke 12:20).
Foolish BelieversSadly, foolish thoughts are not limited to unbelievers, being found also in the hearts of carnal believers who displease God because they live and work in the flesh instead of in the Spirit (Galatians 3:1-3; Romans 8:8). After His resurrection, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to two disciples as they walked to Emmaus. These two men were disciples, yet in their hearts they ignored what God Himself had said in the scriptures and engaged instead in human reasoning (Luke 24:15). In His rebuke, the Lord called those disciples fools.
"Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?" (Luke 24:25-26).
Foolish believers are not limited to the New Testament. When attacked by king Baasha, king Asa never considered God as a source of help, trusting instead in the king of Syria:
"... thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, ... Herein thou hast done foolishly: ..." (2 Chronicles 16:7, 9).
Asa would have saved himself much grief had he paid attention to what his predecessor Solomon wrote: "He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered" (Proverbs 28:26).
Even a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14) can yield to the thought of foolishness. In 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21, Satan provoked David to number Israel. God never commanded any king of Israel to number his subjects that way—and in Exodus 30:11-12 He warned Moses that if such a numbering wasn't accompanied by a ransom, the Lord would strike Israel with a plague. When men keep numbers, they usually do so for pride ("Look how many ...!"), for tyrannical control ("What is your social security number?"), or for confidence in fleshly might ("In time of battle, I can depend on this many fighting men!"). As he aged and and no longer had the physical strength to battle giants (2 Samuel 21:15-22), David apparently weakened spiritually and decided to trust in the numerical strength of Israel's fighters instead of in the strength of the God Who in time past had delivered him from wild beasts and a giant. David himself recognized that this trust in the flesh was foolish:
"And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the Lord, I have sinned greatly ... I have done very foolishly" (2 Samuel 24:10).
When hidden in believers' hearts (Psalm 119:11), God's word reminds them that God is trustworthy—and it smites them and pricks their conscience if they sin foolishly. When people (even believers) deliberately ignore (and thus disobey) the words of God, they show themselves as practical atheists at heart and therefore fools (Matthew 7:26) who question God instead of fear Him—and who think that they are smarter and more righteous than He (Job 35:2).
Overcoming the Thought of FoolishnessFoolishness violates God's purpose for our lives. Believers are commanded to stand for the Lord (Ephesians 6:13), yet God warns that fools "shall not stand" in His sight (Psalm 5:5). If your "Christian life" is in a shambles as a result of foolish thinking, the Bible tells you how to overcome the sinful thought of foolishness.
First, you need to realize that God knows your thoughts (Psalm 94:11; 1 Corinthians 3:20). (You might fool others—you might even fool yourself—but you don't fool Him.) Through His words God can expose the true character of your thoughts—if you desire that He do so (Hebrews 4:12; Psalm 139:23).
Second, after the word of God has revealed any foolish thoughts in your heart, you need to repent of them and forsake them: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: ..." (Isaiah 55:7). Third, after you've forsaken the foolish thoughts, God will establish your thoughts properly as you labor for Him and commit your works to him (Proverbs 16:3). Fourth, as you labor you must capture every thought that comes into your mind and bring it under Christ's control (2 Corinthians 2:5). Finally, do what is right, walking "circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise" (Ephesians 5:15).

You can check the whole Look worn in my last story about the fashion Brand "Bluecollarwhitecollar". You will find the links bellow. Hope you have fun while shopping. When we were exploring the neighborhood of Woodstock, which is also a must, I felt so comfy in this outfit. You'll find incredible street art throughout the area of Woodstock.

Nothing better then a timeless and classy shirt. Hi there, Today I used a slogan of one of my favs fashion brands in Cape Town, which classy shirt I wore once in Woodstock. Woodstock has been the epicenter for street art and it's truly a place to get inspired as you can see at the photos. I would like to introduce the fashion brand, called Bluecollarwhitecollar, because for me this brand is so inspiring and cool. This Label has a few stores in Capetown. We found one of these stores downtown next to the Longstreet. As a fashion stylist and dress maker I was really thrilled to discover a shop like this. They create garments mostly shirts and tees with a retro-classic twist for everyone to look stylish in. A big reason why I really like this brand is that everything is produced in old scholl, traditional factories in Cape Town. I could linger

9th August 2K8, Saturday – 10:33+pm.
Right now, my front teeth and gum is painful. It has been hurting for 3 days now. Whenever I drink or eat something, the sharp pain strikes and I go "O~~wie~." <τ_τ>lll (Cries)
Incidentally, Mira who is in another state — is suffering of teeth and gum pain too!
But she said hers feel more like a new teeth is growing out where as mine is just painful when in contact with liquid. Could it be Mira is bearing a wisdom tooth?
Whatever it is … I hope both of our teeth will recover soon. It will totally suck if we have to wear dentures now! <`A´>/
Each time I feel a slight pain in my teeth or gums, I'll start to panic and being the typical me — my imaginations will grow wild and keep me worrying for days to months.
Sometimes in my sleep, I dream one-by-one of my teeth starts to dangle off and drop — leaving my tongue rubbing against nothing else but my sore gums.
"Eeeewww…", I know that.
I wonder if you get that sort of dreams too! <≥A≤>/
But honestly, its very frightening even to just imagine such a crisis happens to you! <u__u,>
(Sigh) How I wish I had taken care of my teeth when I was young… <u_u> *Tears*
What a stupid lamb I was… <-__->lll
Therefore this goes to say — Everyone…. Please take care of your teeth~!
This is all from Ms.Aya~♥ \<^ε^>/
I know its unnecessary to post this entry but I just don't want to leave this blog dead. Mira has no time to update so — sheep has to be the annoying pest here… Understand? (Laughs)
Very well!
Good night and sleep tight~☆!
PS: Anyone watching the Olympics 2008? Well — I'm supporting USA~☆!
What about you? <.__.>{?]

Death Is For Other People
My work in progress is going well since I first wrote about it last week. It's now sitting at a little over 11,000 words with still some more to go.
Interestingly, I've written the beginning and part of the middle, but last time I sat down to write I skipped ahead and wrote the end. That isn't something I normally do, but I knew exactly how I wanted to write it, plus I wanted a break from the part I was currently writing. Next thing I knew I'd finished it, so now I have to go back and fill in the missing bits.
I'm still unsure about a title for this one. I mentioned last week it started life as "25 Ways to Die When You're Immortal" but now it doesn't really suit (because apart from anything else the main character doesn't die 25 times). As such, I've been tossing up a few others and so far I have:
- Death Is For Other People
- The Eternals
- Nine Lives
- Billy and the Cloneasaurus – (Not really. That scene from The Simpsons popped into my head while I was writing this.)
Getting back on track though I suspect the final story will come in around 15,000 words or so based on what I estimate I still have left to write. Here's a little taste of the opening. As always, this is presented in its unedited form so may contain typos, grammatical issues, and is subject to change in the final release.
They say nobody remembers being born, and nobody remembers dying.
I do.
When I was born the first thing I remembered was dying.
Through every life I've led since I've been haunted by the words he said when he cursed me. The apology, whispered to me in such sorrow.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry…"
Those words, forever echoing in my mind as I move through the ages. Following me like a specter through time.
I'm thinking I should have the draft ready for review within the next two weeks if all things go to plan.
In FTW news, I've begun receiving notes back from my beta readers. I'm busy reviewing their feedback and making adjustments/corrections as necessary so a release date keeps getting closer and closer. If all goes to plan I'd like to release it within the next week or two, so be sure to keep an eye on my blog for the announcement.
Other Ideas
From an ideas point of view I've had a productive week. I've got the bones of two new stories roughed out, both set in worlds I've already written. The first is a sequel to Finsbury Park which came to me one evening after dinner, and the other is a sequel to Storm View which came to me while I was mowing the lawn on the weekend. They're both in their infancy so I won't say any more about them for now, but over the coming weeks and months they'll pop up again in my blog.
So I'm happy about that. I've now got about half a dozen ideas in the backlog waiting for my attention, so I won't be short of things to do for a long time yet.
Have Shovel – Will Bury
And finally a quick piece of good news about Have Shovel – Will Bury. It received its first review on Amazon in the last week. A short but sweet 4-star rating by a gentleman named Clint, who wrote:
"Good fun, short story read. Perfect on a long flight."
Thanks Clint! It means a lot to me when people take the time to leave a review.
That's all for this week!

Fox Sports Reporter Emily Austen Fired After 'Insensitive Comments' About Race | Bleacher Report
Fox Sports cut ties with Tampa Bay Rays and Orlando Magic sideline reporter Emily Austen after she made "insensitive comments" on a Facebook live stream with Barstool Sports, per Tom Jones of the Tampa Bay Times.
Austen called Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love "a little bitch" several times, noted she "didn't even know Mexicans were that smart" and said the "Chinese guy is always the smartest guy in math class."
It's 2016 and this stuff just keeps happening.
Welfare for those who are truly needy is called a safety net.
Welfare for others needs to be strictly challenged and controlled.
Welfare should not be a lifestyle choice.
Try restating this, except semi-intelligibly this time.That reflects nonsense over 'welfare dependency', rather than genuine concern over poverty

There are many thermometers used in the food industry including Digital food meat thermometers, Dial thermometers and some other mentioned above.
What is a kitchen thermometer?
Kitchen thermometer is basically meat food thermometer which you can use in your kitchen easily that's why some people has confused this term of kitchen thermometer. Although, there may be a significance difference between open door BBQ thermometer and kitchen thermometer but in most of the cases we can use single thermometer on both places i.e in outdoors and in kitchen as well.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 46857
Display too large
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:34:21 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010622
Description of problem:
During both the expert & graphic modes of install the window is
always too large for the screen therefore the buttons are missing.
This is on a AMD 450 using a ATI|3D Rage Pro AGP with 8meg and a
Hitachi Elite 611 (17") monitor.
The card gets recogined correctly as a ATI Mach64 8meg. and the
looking at the info logged on one of the consoles it says
'can't probe monitor' 16 Depth 800x600, which appears fine.
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot off of cdrom
Additional info:
This does not just apply to this beta, it has gone on for a
couple of past installs. I have been meaning to enter this bug
before. I can use the text mode however.
This defect considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.
Is this just during install, or does it occur after install when running
XFree86 also? I need to know exactly when this occurs. The specific screen
it first occurs on would be a starter.
I will need an XFree86 log to examine. The installer XFree86 log is
/var/log/XFree86.9.log after an install. Please attach it. It sounds like
X cannot perform a DDC probe on your monitor for some reason.
Any additional info you can provide would also help.
Created attachment 23630 [details]
Install Log For Beta1- Beta Hardware description #19
I think this was an operator errror. This machine normally runs another
copy of redhat which was working just fine for another user.
But I just reset the X/Y size for the monitor and reloaded and it worked
fine of course.
Of course this message 'can't probe monitor' is something I don't think
I have ever seen for this monitor.
If your monitor is not DDC probeable (Plug'n'play) then you'll get that
message. Do you have a CD or floppy that came with it? If you do can
you look on it, and make a zipfile of any .inf files found? I might
be able to add autoprobing if the monitor supports it. The Windows .inf
files contain the needed info. If you find it and attach, please reopen
the bug.
Like I said before this was just a stupid operator error, once I
went back and tried another install this time setting the X/Y settings
using the monitor controls it has worked just fine.
Also this is a 17" Hitatchi 611 which is in the database, that is
why I questioned the 'can't probe monitor' message, but like you
say maybe this monitor is not plug & play.
Anyway you can close this bug.
Yep, ok thanks.

Rail Franchise – Welsh Government Consultation
As you may know, the Wales & Borders rail franchise is due for renewal in 2018, and Welsh Government has opened a consultation on the area, seeking views on the franchise's potential future direction. Although currently jointly managed by WG and the DfT, the area is due to be devolved wholly to WG in the coming months.
As one of the core elements to our transport system, it is key that we input directly on this for the region.
With that in mind, the Business Council will be submitting a response to the consultation document in the coming weeks.
We would ask all Members, if they could review the attached consultation document / response form, and feedback any points they would like incorporated to the regional response.
Consultation Document Response Form
If Members could send any input to us, by latest the 7th of March, this then gives time for the regional private sector response to be pulled together and submitted, ahead of the close deadline from WG.
This input forms part of our broader work on transport, currently underway. Fuller updates will be given on this, at the next Business Council meeting on the 10th March.
Any questions at all, please let us know.
Best Regards,
Ashley Rogers
North Wales Business Council

In a recent interview to The New Minute, Sivakarthikeyan has talked about stalking in his film and apparently, the actor's view has pissed off feminists that they filed an online petition and trending a tag #BoycottRemo on Twitter.
"We have a long weekend coming up with a cluster of movies releasing, including the heavily-promoted "Remo," starring Sivakarthikeyan.
The movie's cast and crew have been flooding the press with interviews dwelling mainly on how much expense and effort have gone into making the hero appear realistic onscreen as a woman, yet the makers seem to have given very little thought to how they romanticize and normalize stalking (and deception) of women.
A recent interview with The News Minute shows that actor Sivakarthikeyan doesn't understand what stalking is or how it adversely affects the life of women who are stalked. Film after film, he has played the 'hero' continuously pursuing and harassing the object of his 'love' and yet he seems pretty sure that he is "not putting forth any wrong messages or ideas."
He claims validity for stalking as a longstanding trope in Tamil films and at the same time, evades the question, saying that he doesn't consider what he does onscreen as 'stalking'! His logic is that stalking is OK because, despite pursuing a woman everywhere, he would "ultimately marry her unfailingly."
We only need to recall that the killers of Francina (Tuticorin), Dhanya (Coimbatore) and Karuna (Delhi) also demanded exactly the same from the women they stalked! His idea that his characters represent "pure" love without "any other intentions" and his failure to understand the notion of a woman's consent is extremely troubling.
Exactly what gives these men the authority to make decisions for another woman on her life choices? It is high time both Tamil filmmakers and audience learnt that stalking is a serious criminal offence under IPC sec. 354D. Period.Please let actor Sivakarthikeyan know that he cannot get away with this dangerous trend in every film, especially when he clearly admits in the same interview that he is extremely popular with children. We cannot let his greed for profit poison the minds of our younger generation.
(Please note: The film carries a 'U' certificate.) Tell him in no uncertain terms that we will #BoycottRemo for promoting stalking as acceptable and fun. We have just one more day to act and convey our protest. We do not believe in bans and extrajudicial censorship, but we can take a stand by refusing to pay and watch movies that encourage the toxic culture of stalking.
Let the filmmakers know why we are keeping away from Remo. Tweet right NOW to Sivakarthikeyan that we're #CallingOutStalking by clicking here: http://ctt.ec/_a87t ", posted the petitioner.
Let's hope people stop taking films seriously and do useful things to the society.

Julia Donaldson, Children's Laureate and author of The Gruffalo.
When Julia Donaldson's picture book, The Gruffalo entered the European Children's world in 1999, long before the current huggable monster craze, I was given a copy by a young mother who had just returned from England. Her children loved the brand new book, which quickly became a best seller in Europe. Since then the book has sold over 10.5 million copies worldwide, has been translated into more than 30 languages and published in 42 countries.
Through the years, I have followed The Gruffalo's journey from picture book character, to theatre production, to the BBC movie, nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Animated Film in 2010. I observed how a loveable monster became a superstar and how it's creator Julia Donaldson became the most successful children's author in Europe. In June 2011, she was appointed Children's Laureate, to celebrate her outstanding achievements.
At a party in London, I spoke to Julia Donaldson and we planned an interview to hear about her interesting life from song and dance performer, to television songwriter, to playwright, to renowned children's author. She was delighted to be invited into Dream Jam World to share her story and belief that the arts are a gateway to literacy. For the next two years as Children's Laureate, she will have her chance to bridge the two worlds, linking books with drama and music.
Julia is engaging, witty and very funny. She is passionate about each of her characters and having written 157 books she exudes a lot of passion. She and her husband Malcolm often perform songs about her stories and one can sense the beautiful connection the two of them have. They have had their share of tragedy as well (their son Hamish died in 2003) but her amazing sense of optimism leaves one feeling quite hopeful. Perhaps that is the magic of her writing and the ingredient that has led to a fairy tale career.
Julia Donaldson grew up in Hampstead, England. As a young girl she felt that she had a special connection with nature.
The Borrowers by Mary Norton and a special poetry gift from Julia's father influenced her as a writer.
Young Julia Donaldson grew up with a love of classical music.
Music was and continues to be important to Julia.
Music brought Julia and her husband Malcolm together.
Julia got her professional start writing songs for the BBC.
Reminiscing about her early years with Malcolm.
"A Squash and a Squeeze," was originally written as a song for the BBC and became Julia's first published book.
"The Gruffalo"
"The Gruffalo" becomes a movie!
"Room on the Broom"
"Tyrannosaurus Drip," "The Troll," and "What the Ladybird Heard."
"Stick Man" and "Taby McTat."
"Running on the Cracks," a young adult novel by Julia Donaldson.
Julia wrote a new story for a competition in search of an unpublished illustrator.
Julia is a patron of the nonprofit organization Artlink Central.
Julia continues to have a deep connection to nature.
What Julia Donaldson is most proud of.
What does the future hold for Julia Donaldson?

Grading Criteria and Total Components of a Grade
Each student will be graded by earning points for class participation, for assignments, and for the final examination. Grades will be posted in the Moodle 'Grades' area so that you can check on your progress throughout the course. Grades will be assigned as follows:
97 - 100 points = A+
93 - 96 points = A
90 - 92 points = A-
87 - 89 points = B+
83 - 86 points = B
80 - 82 points = B-
77 - 79 points = C+
73 - 76 points = C
70 - 72 points = C-
65 - 69 points = D
Less than 65 points = Fail
Points will be distributed as follows:
Participation in class discussions: 30 points possible
Students should participate in class discussion by posting their comments or questions and by responding to at least one other classmate each week. The instructor expects each student to contribute at least two thoughtful, quality postings per week (including the response to a classmate). Just logging on and reading other people's postings is not considered participation, nor is mere agreement with others' postings.
Quality of postings is more important than their sheer frequency, length or grammatical form. Quality includes, but is not limited to:
- commentary on the lecture for the current topic;
- detailed sharing of a student's experience or research relative to the week's topic;
- opinions on the topic that are backed with compelling facts and reasoning;
- raising questions that help the class better understand the topic, particularly by proposing; and explaining implications that might have been overlooked in the lecture, or in previous discussion.
Quality participation also means conveying your experience, research, opinions, questions or commentary in a professional manner. Disagreements among discussion participants are expected and often valuable, but they should be expressed tactfully, not in a confrontational tone.
Assignments: 50 points possible
Points per assignment are listed in the Course Schedule, below.
Assignment instructions will be added to the end of each lecture. Completed assignments should be posted in the Discussions topic set up by the instructor for that week's assignment(s), as described in the assignment instructions. Please do not send completed assignments to the instructor's email box. Use either html (save as web page) or rtf (save as rich text format) as the format for your completed assignments.
Late assignments will automatically have one point subtracted for each day late, unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor for late submission due to extenuating circumstances.
Final project: 20 points possible
The Final Project will be a mini manual. It will require that you use all the skills learned during the course. Email your final project to the instructor privately using WebCT email by the due date listed in the Course Schedule. No exceptions.
Final grade in class
Your unofficial grade in the class will available to you no later than one week after the class ends, either posted in the 'Grades' area on your course site or emailed to you directly from the instructor. Your official final grade will be sent to you via 'snail mail'.
Extra-credit: The instructor may offer opportunities for extra-credit points. Participation in extra-credit opportunities is strictly optional.
Feedback Schedule
The instructor will provide feedback and points on graded assignments within one week of the due date for that work, unless otherwise noted in the assignment instructions. Late submissions may take longer. Feedback and points for each assignment will either be posted online via the "My Grades" area, or emailed to you directly by the instructor.
The instructor does not normally participate in real-time chat discussions, but students are welcome to use this feature on their own.
The instructor normally logs onto the course discussion forums at least once daily, Monday through Friday. Exceptions are the instructor's travel or sick days, which may be posted as an announcement on the Homepage.
The instructor's office hours are anytime Monday through Friday via her Moodle email.
