What is TheNextTask.com?
TheNextTask.com is a browser hijacker that entered your computer without your explicit permission. It must have been attached to some free software that you installed, and you did not notice it. You need to learn how to correctly install freeware because otherwise, you will end up with unwanted items all the time.
Hijackers are not malicious but they are not harmless. They will not harm your computer directly but they will try to redirect you to sponsored pages so that income can be made. Essentially, TheNextTask.com will take over your browser, make changes and then try to redirect you. The worrying thing about redirects is that you could be led to dangerous web pages where malware may be lurking. The hijacker will not be beneficial to you in any way. We strongly suggest you uninstall TheNextTask.com.
Why delete TheNextTask.com?
Most commonly, users infect their computers with browser hijackers when they install freeware. You should be aware that a lot of items, such as browser hijackers and adware, may be added to freeware. You can stop them from installing along with the software if you use Advanced or Custom settings during installation. Default settings do not show you any added items and if there are any, you automatically give them permission to install by choosing those settings. In Advanced, you need to uncheck all the boxes of added items and you can proceed to install the freeware. Now that you understand how sneakily it tries to enter your computer, we suggest you remove TheNextTask.com.
TheNextTask.com will alter your browser's settings and set its domain as your homepage, new tabs and search engine. All leading browsers will be affected so it does not matter which browser you use. It should also be noted that these changes were carried out without your permission and you will not be able to undo the modifications until you delete TheNextTask.com. You will be provided with a search engine which we do not recommend using as it will provide sponsored pages. The main goal of a browser hijacker is to redirect you to those sites so that it can generate income so the search engine results will be filled with sponsored content. What you should look out for, however, is malicious pages. The hijacker does not care where you get redirected to so you could end up on some really questionable pages where malware may be lurking. If you do not want to end up with a serious malware infection, you need to uninstall TheNextTask.com immediately.

What a great idea. It's so important to respect people's creativity. I've had my work blatantly copied and it's rather frustrating to say the least. I must check out Kal's blog :)ReplyDelete
Great post, and very ironic because I just posted an MA poem on my blog.ReplyDelete
I agree completely that an artists work needs to be respected and credited... and I don't want to put a *but* in there, however, there are so many images on the internet that even the most honest people with the best of intentions are sometimes unable to credit properly... unless of course they come right from the source!
I pull the majority of my images from WeHeartIt to create collages, and I credit that. BUT, where images those are pulled from... sadly, I do not know. :(
Of course if someone is stealing images and claiming them as their own, that is completely tragic and unacceptable.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Anna. And enjoy Fathers Day with the Hubs and Little Guy!
OneCraftyfox - So very true and I agree completely...sadly there is a but...BUT...if we all know better..than maybe we will all do better? No?ReplyDelete
Thank you for viewing my blog...I enjoy reading your comments and hope you come back and visit again soon :)

Quest text[edit]
Sadie tells you, I have heard that the roads of the island are more dangerous than ever. Many of them are overrun by the same undead that attacked the village. So our supply routes are limited. And now we're losing supply wagons to the beetles hidden in the tall grasses and on the beaches of the island. I need you to assist me with a critical mission.
Sadie tells you, We need to assess the danger posed to the roads and beaches and to the island's residents. I need you to team up with others and coordinate your attacks. You've recently earned a new ability, Coordianted Bolt. Use it and kill at least 10 of these beetles. We'll see if that helps. Now go, and may the hand of Merrasat guide and protect you!

I spent my day yesterday on a train, however it was supposed to be spent in Vienna. I woke up at 6 to catch the 7:40 train after breakfast with my dad, and bought my ticket, then found out that the direct train to Wien Westbahnhof was cancelled. Fab. I decided to go the alternate route and take the Munich train, get off at Rosenheim, switch trains, take the train to Salzburg, once again switch trains, and be on my way to Vienna.
I got off at Rosenheim and learned that the next train to Salzburg wasn't actually going all the way to Salzburg. So I waited one hour to get on the next Salzburg train. When my hour was up, I saw that the timetable said that this train wasn't going to Salzburg as well. So I went to the information desk, because quite honestly, I was just puzzled and wanted to know how to get to Vienna before it was dark out. It was about 10 am at this point. I asked the Information Desk man if he spoke English (nein) and then attempted to ask when the next train to Salzburg was… Turns out, all trains were canceled to Salzburg. Again, fab.
I asked him the easiest way to get to Vienna. He laughed in my face. Frustrated, I bought a ticket back home, to Kufstein. I had spent about 100 euros on train tickets at this point, and was so frustrated that I couldn't even get to Vienna. At 11:17 am, I arrived in Kufstein and asked the Information desk man if it was possible in ANY way to get to Veinna. He directed me to Worgl, where I would be able to catch the next train straight to Wien. The train was leaving at 11:19, and the second I stepped onto the train, we started moving. I was relieved. At least one thing was going right for me!!!
I switched trains at Worgl and was so pleased with my change in luck. … but then, my sudden strike of good luck ended, and the train was delayed… I spent 6 and a half hours on that train, and didn't arrive until about 6 pm… Turns out, the reason for my delay was that the Syrian Refugees were crowding up the region, trying to make new homes or get to Austria, Germany, or Sweden, which were providing help and support for them.
I didn't expect to see the refugees first hand, but the second I stepped off the train in Vienna, I was hit with such a poignant scene of families huddled together, trying to fend off the cold, just hundreds of people sitting and waiting for who knows what for who knows how long. It was hard to believe that these people were considered the lucky ones. I didn't mind the delay anymore. My problems seemed so insignificant to the hardships they had been through and were still enduring.
I found out the next, and last train back to Kufstein was at 7:30, so I rushed into the city and saw as much as I possibly could, which honestly wasn't much. I saved a lot to come back to. I just got the smallest taste of Wien, which made me so hungry to see everything the city had to offer. I'll have to go back another time. On the way back, my train was also delayed, also due to the Syrian Refugees, and I ended up missing my connecting train to Kufstein. The next train leaving was at 5:55 am…. I had arrived at 1:35am. So I curled up in my down jacket and scarf in the train station, and decided to spend the night there.
Well, I didn't really have another choice.
It was a very cold and uncomfortable night to say the least, but all I kept thinking when I wanted to complain was how this was a regular night for some of those families. I got home at around 6:50 am, just 30 minutes shy of traveling for 24 hours. Some may see my time as a day wasted, a day stuck on trains and seeing nothing, but for me, although it was not the most pleasant of days, it was a day full of seeing how interconnected the world was. It was a lesson in compassion and connection, a day very well spent.

Launch of CEPA's Latest Flagship Publication Ghana Economic Review and Outlook, 2012 and A Companion Volume: The State of the Ghanaian Economy Marking the First Full Year in the Oil Era"
DATE: Tuesday 29th November 2011 TIME: 9.00 a.m. prompt
Venue: British Council Hall, Liberia Road, Accra
This is the seventeenth edition of CEPA's annual flagship publication on the state of the Ghanaian economy — "Ghana's Economic Review and Outlook" — since the maiden edition was first launched in 1996. It offers an in-depth assessment of the macroeconomic policies and outcomes from 2010 to 2011 and the outlook for the near term.
The period under review marks the first full year in the oil era — an important landmark in the economic history of Ghana. Commercial production of oil started in earnest in November 2010. However, it is 2011 that marks the entry by Ghana into the oil era. With that Ghana, for the first time, would now be a player in three key international commodity markets — gold, cocoa, and oil.
The coming into the oil era is a blessing on the economy, in the sense that the core commodity terms of trade — measured by movements in the international prices of cocoa, gold, and oil — will now become benign than before if the prices of all three export commodities rise, since Ghana no longer feels the full adverse impact of oil prices because of its new status as oil producer.
As Ghana takes on the additional role of oil producer, two important tasks emerge. The first is how to effectively absorb the foreign exchange resources in order to address infrastructural deficiencies and institutional weaknesses in the economy. This is what is needed to promote accelerated growth and job creation.
The second task relates to the effective management of the foreign exchange resources in order to avoid the so-called 'Dutch Disease'. Experiences elsewhere have shown that the discovery of oil does not always come as a blessing to a country. The oil boom can move productive resources — labour, land, and capital — away from the non-oil sector and into the oil sector, thereby causing production declines in the non-oil sector. The foreign exchange earnings from the export of oil could also lead to severe loss in international price competitiveness of goods produced in Ghana. Profits become squeezed, and in some cases production becomes totally unprofitable, causing enterprises to shut down with loss of jobs. Such loss of price competitiveness in international trade in the non-oil sector is the so-called 'Dutch Disease'. Foreign exchange earnings could also provide the resources to import items that compete with those produced domestically to make up for domestic production shortfalls. In this way, we become oblivious to the incipient collapse of some sectors — low productivity areas in agriculture and manufacturing.
Oil resources could also substitute for concessional loans from development partners. Thus, unless fiscal discipline, in terms of domestic tax revenue mobilization and effective public expenditure management is enhanced, oil revenue would allow the perpetuation of unproductive practices that do not promote accelerated growth and job creation. It is this fiscal discipline, supported by strengthened institutions for good economic management and governance, law and order, and justice that would make the oil a blessing to the Ghanaian people. With that, Ghanaians can have legitimate hope that the oil wealth will be translated into growth, jobs, and development for all.
In addition to assessing developments in the implementation of the annual budget and fiscal operations, the Bank of Ghana's inflation targeting regime, interest rates, and credit conditions in the banking system, and external trade and payments, this flagship publication provides an appraisal of the financial health of the economy and developments in the domestic bonds market.
Two documents — the Main Report and a companion volume — would be available for sale at the launch at the following prices:
• Ghana Economic Review and Outlook, 2012 — GH¢10.00; and
• Companion Volume: The State of the Ghanaian Economy — GH¢3.00

Jay Z and Fat Joe have finally collaborated.
The headline here for a lot of sites is that Jay addresses Lemonade on this remix. If you're a fan of New York hip-hop though, the real headline is Jay and Fat Joe finally collaborating after an, at this point, decades long cold (or lukewarm) war.
In one article I read, Joe attributed the beef to his loyalty to his friendship with Nas when the Takeover/Ether situation happened. But if you've really followed the NY Hip-Hop scene you know this is a beef that goes back to alleged skirmishes with Big Pun when Pun was (quite literally) terrorizing the city's rap scene. The 'beef' spilled over into the EBC Tourney, nightclubs, etc, etc. Joe siding with Nas was the obvious result.
But all that said, the reality is, Jay's had a lot of these kind of disagreements with folks. Jaz-O, Foxy, Beanie, even Dame. The difference with Fat Joe is that there was no previous relationship between the two and that Fat Joe is a true contemporary of Jay's – maybe not as far as money or records sold – but definitely when it comes to longevity, relevance, and respect in the often fickle and hard-to-please New York Hip-Hop scene. These are two of the only guys to come out during the 88-96 golden age and maintain a certain measure of relevance more than 20 years later. I'm happy to see these two New York titans finally rep together. I also love how Bleek is always the guy facilitating Jay's communication with certain rappers.
It's interesting how folks always want to squash beefs with Hov. In my mind, it's a testament to moving through your peer circles and spheres of influence with a consistency of message and purpose that renders you, to a certain degree, above the fray. You don't have beef with people, people have beef with you. And eventually, they get beyond their beef. Sometimes it's because you've amassed so much power influence that people just want to align themselves with you. Other times it's because people realize they were being petty, or shortsighted.
Either way, I've always admired, from a distance, Hov's ability to get people to fall in line without actually having to do much. He just keeps being the same old Hov and people just keep realizing that it's kinda pointless to beef with someone who's not beefing with you. The notable exception in all this is Nas. Jay's always had a weird man-crush on Nas. He seeks Nas' affirmation and regards Nas in a way that differs from everyone else I've seen or read about him dealing with. Someone needs to write the book on those two. They're like Ellison and Wright or maybe Wright and Baldwin in a lot of ways. I'm rambling now, but this stuff matters to me for reasons I don't feel like explaining.
I guess what I'm saying is, when someone has beef with you, but you don't really have beef with them, sometimes your only option is to stay low and keep firing.

The Great Baker-Hamilton
By Matt Taibbi
In private, some members of the Iraq Study Group have expressed concern that they could find themselves in not-quite-open confrontation with Mr. Bush. "He's a true believer," one participant in the group's debates said. "Finessing the differences is not going to be easy."
--David Sanger, The New York Times, "Idea of Rapid Withdrawal From Iraq Seems to Fade," Dec. 1.
What a fiasco this whole Baker-Hamilton episode is, with all its attendant leaks and media manipulations -- a veritable symphony of Typical Washington Bullshit. It has all the hallmarks of the pusillanimous, cover-your-ass mentality that rules our nation's capital, where all problems are political problems and actual real emergencies never make it to the desk of anyone who matters.
The Baker-Hamilton commission, also known as the Iraq Study Group, is due to release its long-awaited recommendations this Wednesday, but the overall gist of the panel's labors was obvious way back in March, when President Bush first appointed the panel. Baker-Hamilton from the very start was a classic bullshit-cloud in the proud tradition of those damnable congressional "studies" we hear about from time to time, in which "bipartisan panels" are convened to much fanfare and packed off to the wilds of suburban Virginia for years of intellectually masturbatory activity -- the usual solution, whenever House or Senate leaders are faced with a genuinely thorny political issue that offers no easy or obvious solutions, i.e. a problem that can't be simply blamed on one or the other political party, but which needs actual fixing.
Whenever one of those issues pops up, Washington politicians generally find themselves at a loss. They don't know what to do. For the vast majority of these buffoons, their expertise lies elsewhere. These guys know how to spread their legs for campaign contributors, raid the budget for redundant public works projects and worm their way onto the six o'clock news wearing a hardhat or a Cubs cap -- but the average elected official knows very little about actually solving real political problems, because in most cases that's not what got him elected.
The successful politician today is the one who can best convert the agendas of his campaign contributors into politically saleable policies. That's the business of government today; both the legislative and the executive branch are mainly engaged in searching out and finding the acceptable mean between voter sentiment and financial interest. It's sort of an ongoing math problem -- figuring out how many voters you can afford to fuck every four years, or how much money you should be extracting, and from which sponsors, for each rape of your constituents.
That kind of negotiation, Washingtonians are great at. But there's no upside to taking on difficult problems for most politicians, who a) usually don't give a shit anyway, since there are few problems outside of anthrax-infected envelopes that actually affect a Washington politician's life, and b) have few institutional remedies for effectively addressing problems even if they were so inclined, since so many backs need to be scratched en route to taking action.
And so, when faced with an unsolvable or seemingly unsolvable political conundrum, most politicians feel there's only one thing to do. You appear onstage with your rival party's leader, embrace him, announce that you're going to find a "bipartisan" solution together, and then nominate a panel of rotting political corpses who will spend 18 months, a few dozen million dollars, many thousands of taxpayer-funded air miles, and about 130,000 pages of impossibly verbose text finding a way for both parties to successfully take the fork in the road and blow off the entire issue, whatever it was.
It's important, when you nominate your panel, to dig up the oldest, saggiest, rubberiest, most used-up political whores on the Eastern seaboard to take up your cause. That way, you can be sure that the panel will know its place and not address any extraneous issues in its inquiry -- like, for instance, whose fault a certain war is, or whether the whole idea of a "War on Terrorism" needs to be rethought, or whether the idea of preemptive defense as a general strategy is viable at all, or whether previously unthinkable solutions may now have to be countenanced, or whether there is anyone currently in a position of responsibility who perhaps should immediately be removed from office and hung by his balls. Your panel should contain people who are not experts or interested parties in the relevant field (since experts or interested parties might be tempted to come up with real, i.e. politically dangerous solutions), but it should contain people who are recognizable political celebrities whose names will lend weight to your whole enterprise, although not for any logical reason.
Baker-Hamilton was a classic whore-panel in every sense. None were Middle East experts. None had logged serious time in Iraq, before or after the invasion. All of them had influential friends on both sides of the aisle all over Washington, parties in the future they wanted to keep getting invites to, ambitions yet to be realized. You could assign Jim Baker, Lee Hamilton, Sandra Day O'Connor and Vernon Jordan, Jr. to take on virtually any problem and feel very confident that between the four of them, they would find a way to avoid the ugly heart of any serious political dilemma. If the missiles were on the way, and nuclear Armageddon was just seconds off, those four fossils would find a way to issue a recommendation whose headline talking points would be something like "heightened caution," dialogue with Sweden, and a 14 percent increase in future funding for the Air Force.
Hence the conclusions of the Baker-Hamilton report were predetermined virtually from the start. We could all have expected that the group's only unequivocal conclusions would restate the obvious -- that we need an eventual withdrawal of troops, that there needs to be more "robust regional diplomacy," that Iraqi forces need to assume more of the security burden, and that there will be no hope of a political solution without some cooperation from Syria and Iran. Duh! Because the really thorny questions are the specifics: when do we leave, and, more importantly, what do we offer Iran and Syria in return for their cooperation, what horrifying inevitable humiliation will we be prepared to suffer at their hands, and what form will talks with those gloating countries take?
Baker-Hamilton blew off those questions, and it's no wonder, because no one in Washington wants to deal with them. The Republicans don't want to agree to a withdrawal timetable because it's an admission of defeat and policy failure, while the Democrats don't want to be the first to call for a withdrawal because they're afraid of being pilloried in the next election season for a lack of toughness. Both sides are afraid of being responsible for a civil war bloodbath if the U.S. troops pull out, and neither side wants to be the first to suggest taking the humiliating step of inviting Syria or Iran to the negotiating table with anything like equal status.
Baker-Hamilton takes all of this into account, offering no concrete or controversial suggestions that would bind either party to unpopular action in the near future. In essence, all Baker-Hamilton accomplished was a very vague admission that Bush's Iraq adventure is somehow irrevocably fucked and that we have to get our troops out of that country as soon as possible, a conclusion that was obvious to the entire world two long years ago. But even this pathetically timid intellectual assertion was deemed too controversial to risk unveiling before the 2006 midterm elections, and it's obvious now that both parties have decided to wait until 2008 to deal with the more important questions of "when" and "how."
In the midst of all of the recent fanfare about Baker-Hamilton, some of the actual actors in the Iraq disaster have been using the media to similarly absolve themselves of any responsibility to act. We started to see this happening on November 15, when Michael Gordon of The New York Times (who seems to be spending a lot of time fellating intelligence officials lately) ran a ponderous "news analysis" suggesting that a rapid withdrawal might not be the best idea (Get Out Now? Not So Fast, Some Experts Say," Nov. 15). In this piece, a host of military and intelligence officials argued vociferously that America's problems in Iraq stemmed from not having enough troops, and that an early withdrawal would accelerate the country's decline into civil war. Among the voices quoted in Gordon's piece is former CIA analyst Ken Pollack, who as Jeff Cohen noted was one of the chief pom-pom wavers for the war before the invasion and one of the many experts who insisted that Iraq possessed WMDs. Gordon conveniently left Pollack's record on that score out of the article.
Pollack and other officials like former Central Command head Anthony Zinni furthermore argue in the Gordon piece that what is needed now is an increase in troops in the next six months to "regain momentum" as part of a broader effort to stabilize Iraq.
A few weeks later, Gordon ran another piece (Bush Adviser's Memo Cites Doubts About Iraqi Leader," Nov. 29) which contained a leak of a memo by National Security Adviser Stephen J. Hadley which basically expressed doubts that Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki is capable of doing much of anything to control sectarian violence in Iraq.
The gist of both of these Gordon pieces is obvious: the military wants it known that it isn't responsible for any of America's problems in Iraq, and that the real problem is that Bush failed to set up an effective political context for the military to work within.
With the military inundating the newspapers with leaks that basically pass the buck for the Iraq disaster to the diplomats and the politicians, the Bush administration still refusing to publicly face reality, and the politicians outside the administration hiding behind a Baker-Hamilton report that shelves any meaningful decisions until some undetermined date far into the future (while being careful to avoid "not-so-open" confrontations with the president), the Iraq catastrophe can now be safely perpetuated ad nauseum -- and the only people who will suffer for it will be people who don't matter in Washington, i.e. the soldiers and the Iraqi people.
We may soon have to face this fact: With the midterm elections over, and George Bush already a lame duck, the Iraq war is no longer an urgent problem to anyone on the Hill who matters. The Democrats are in no hurry to end things because it will benefit them if Iraq is still a mess in '08; just as they did this fall, they'll bitch about the war without explicitly promising to end it at any particular time. George Bush has already run his last campaign and he's not about to voluntarily fuck up his legacy with a premature surrender or a humiliating concession to Syria or Iran. At least publicly, John McCain is going to head into '08 siding with those in the military who believe the problem is a lack of troops.
For the Iraq disaster to end, someone among these actors is going to have to make a difficult decision -- admit defeat, invite a bloody civil war, lose face before a pair of rogue terror-supporting states -- and it's obvious that none of them is ever going to do that, not until there's absolutely no choice.
The Baker-Hamilton report is being praised for its cautious, sensible, bipartisan approach to the Iraq problem (Time magazine even called it "genius") but actually all it is a tacit recognition of this pass-the-buck dynamic in Washington. Because there is currently no way to even think about ending the actual problem without someone in Washington having to eat a very big bucket of shit, both sides have agreed, in the spirit of so-called bipartisan cooperation, to avoid thinking about ending the problem in the immediate future. Instead, the official policy in the meantime, bet on it, will end up being some version of a three-pronged strategy that involves 1) staying the course or even increasing the amount of troops temporarily 2) seeing what happens in '08, and 3) revisiting the issue after we see who wins the White House two years from now.
Baker-Hamilton wasn't about finding solutions to the Iraq problem. It was about finding viable political solutions to the Iraq problem. Since there are none, it punted the problem to the next administration. Maybe the war will be real to those folks and they'll actually do something. Don't hold your breath.

- Synopsis
- Tinnitus retraining therapy is Pawel J. Jastreboff's clinical implementation of his neurophysiological model of tinnitus, which conceptualizes tinnitus as a neural signal that can have varying effects on the central nervous system. Otolaryngologists explain how to counsel patients to use it, covering the neural and learning principles, assessment, and treatment. Suggestions for initial and follow-up interviews, and patient take-home reminders are also provided. Any clinician can conduct the counseling, but audiologists tend to have the optimal background and equipment. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)

The allure of a merger brings with it visions of expanded market share, reduced operating costs, enhanced niche practice areas, and many other benefits. But, to achieve a truly successful merger requires a vetting process that does not permit gaps that often occur in decisive areas. When thinking about a merger, play it "SAF."
Strategize Your Merger Plan
Before moving forward, lay out your reasons for the merger. Fresh blood for the organization? Revitalizing a niche? Regional growth? Set up teams with defined responsibilities. Your internal merger team will evaluate the possibilities, identify merger candidates, and whittle them down to the prime merger choices. A team from management should then review the recommendations of the merger team. For a dispassionate perspective, choose outside advisors to perform the due diligence.
Adaptability — Do They Fit Into Your Culture?
Poor cultural adaptability has dissolved many mergers and made others very unpleasant unions. With their sights on the prime candidates, your merger team should perform a cultural analysis. What is the work environment like? Are there different practices under one roof or is there a single, firmwide mentality. Get a reading on operating and administrative decision-making policies. What decisions are made by consensus and what come under the rule of the executive committee? Look at the candidate's executive team and determine who will join the combined organization. Gauge the reliability of their internal controls — practices, supervision, and training. Examine the policy for taking on a case or client and include a look at their engagement letters and conflict checks. At the very crucial partner level, what are the requirements for partnership entry, compensation methods, and capital requirements and funding? These are only a few of the areas that can highlight the stress points in blending your cultures.
Financial Obligations That May Be Off Your Radar
In the mass of financial information to consider in a merger, some obligations are not so apparent. If you're considering keeping a candidate's office, play out the cost to rebrand the location, from creating new signage to the stationery. Determine if there are any unresolved malpractice or other litigations and assess the likelihood of the cost to your firm and damage to your reputation. See if the candidate's loans are recourse or nonrecourse — your partners will likely not want to contend with being held personally liable for the debt in recourse loans. There may be other red flags in the firm's borrowing. Has it taken out loans to pay employees, fund case costs, or cover existing debt?

I get this question all the time and have for last several years. So much and, with so much confusion, I felt I had to write about it to give a better explanation to those inquiring minds that want to know. It's expected from those that don't know me or just meeting me initially, and we all ask this question of most we meet for first time at some point. I also know the majority of those that have known me for a long time are still very confused and don't want to sound "dumb" or inattentive if they were to ask me. Read more

The Office for National Statistics has today released its "Vital Statistics" report for 2015. It records that 777,165 babies were born in the UK in 2015. With 602,000 people dying, the "natural increase" in the UK's population (excluding migration) was 175,000 people.
This number of births puts our current total fertility rate (TFR) at 1.8. TFR is the average number of children a woman of childbearing age would be expected to have in the UK at current birth rates. A TFR of 2.1 is considered the "replacement rate" at which numbers of births and deaths will balance out in time. The UK's TFR has not been above 2.1 since 1972 but "population momentum" and net immigration have led to a population increase of nearly 10 million people since then.
Population momentum arises because the number of women of child-bearing age in the population reflects the higher birth rates of previous generations – as there are more of them, they produce more babies overall, even though the number of births per woman has fallen. Only when TFR has been at replacement rate for decades in a stable population do the numbers of births and deaths actually become equal. This is why further reducing the size of families is still required to limit population growth. The 2015 TFR for the UK is also higher than it was at any point between 1992 and 2005.
The UK's death rate (number of deaths per 1,000 people) has fallen from 12.1 in 1972 to 9.3 in 2015. In addition to birth rates and migration, death rates are the third factor in determining population.
Global picture
The UK's total fertility rate is significantly below the global average of 2.5. According to the United Nations Population Fund, the country with the highest TFR is Niger, at 7.5, while Portugal's TFR is 1.2 and Italy's 1.5. Global average TFR has been falling since the 1960s but in the least developed countries, remains almost double the replacement rate at 4.0. Disturbingly, in some African countries the reduction in fertility appears to be stalling.
While the total fertility rates of developed nations are far below those in many developing nations, the environmental impact of each individual in high-consuming richer countries is far greater. A UK citizen is responsible for 40 times the CO2 emissions of a person from Sierra Leone. In emissions terms, the 777,000 little Britons born last year are equivalent to more than 30 million babies there.

Richmond 2030 will have 852,159 more people
Where Will U.S. Population Growth Occur? A Glimpse at 2020 and 2030 predicts that the Richmond metro area will grow by 852,159 between now and 2030:
Figure [2020 and 2030 Population-Table 2] reveals that Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Dallas, MSAs lead the pack in our 2030 population growth forecasts (versus 2013) on an absolute level, while Walla Walla, WA; Hinesville, GA; and Carson City, WV, show the strongest percentage growth through 2030. Combined, the top 10 percentage growth markets are expected to add only 1.5 million new people through 2030, while the top 10 absolute growth markets will increase in population by 13.5 million on an aggregate basis through 2030.
Of those, Richmond (68.4%), Atlanta (45.6%), and San Antonio (36%) have the highest projected percentage growth over the 17-year period. The aggregate sample population (212.6 million) in our statistical analysis represents about 67.3% of the total 2013 population of 316.1 million. We project that the sample urban population will experience a net increase of 61.5 million people, or about 29%, by 2030.

text: Fiona is a wonderful, skilled, compassionate, clear-sighted coach. I was looking for a health coach to help me through a difficult transition and was drawn to her for her multi-disciplinary background and the rigor of the coaching training program from which she graduated. Plus I loved her voice! As a medical professional myself, I wanted someone who wouldn't be thrown by my situation and who could appreciate my experiences from an insiders perspective as I navigated a pretty challenging time. Fiona came through for me in a big way, helping find the ease and confidence I needed to make some necessary choices and move into my next chapter with less stress, more optimism, and more clarity. If I could put her in my pocket and keep her with me for life I would.

Devil Does Exist 1
June 28, 2012
Mitsuba Takanashi – CMX – 2005 – 11 volumes
So old! I'm dipping back into the CMX vault and going with a devil theme tonight. More shoujo, this time very stylish and very 90s.
The plot to this series is so tired it's almost fresh again. A tired plot isn't necessarily a bad thing, since in shoujo romance it's the characters that make or break the series. But man. This series.
Kayano badly wants to confess to the boy she likes. She writes him a note and everything. But she botches the hand-off, and gives it to the school's troublemaker, Takeru, instead. Kayano is terrified of Takeru, who begins to bully and blackmail her over the note. And just when she thinks she has washed her hands of Takeru for good, turns out her mother is remarrying, and it's Takeru's father. So the two move in together. Not awkward at all. But just as things begin going good between Kayano and her crush, she realizes… well, she may have feelings for Takeru.
There's more than a few ancient plot devices at work here. But the characters are fun, and the true charm in The Devil Does Exist is the art. Kayano and Takeru attend a school with no uniform, something so unusual that the only other series I can think of that does this is Paradise Kiss. Just as Ai Yazawa does for that series, Takanashi takes full advantage of the uniform-free atmosphere here to dress the characters in some truly funky clothes. They aren't even all that painfully 90s, there's some really impressive styles at work here. Even better, Takanashi is a good enough artist that she varies the hairstyles as much as she does the outfits, and you can still tell the characters apart. Impressive!
Honestly, other than the fact I'm in the mood for a series like this, the first volume doesn't have much that makes it stand out among the dozens of other series I've read with the same plot devices. But I have the whole thing (thank you, used book store I work at!), so I'm going to read it all. I'm hoping the characters develop and things get interesting from here. Even if they don't, I'm a fan of shoujo manga, so this is still a decent read, and the funky art makes it worthwhile.

Ohhh!! Have you not read this series before? Gahh, I love it so much, cliché plot devices and all, years after having finished it. It's so good, and jam-packed with drama, and the artwork…!!! The later volumes are even prettier. I always felt a little sad that Crimson Hero was about athletes, because they didn't focus much on fashion like the characters in this series.
Lovely Complex also has a uniform-optional school (I remember watching one episode of the anime and being SO disappointed that it kept all the characters in uniform). It's not quite as over-the-top as Devil and ParaKiss, but I always liked the fashion in it.

Mobiasbanca – leader in stability, with the lowest non-performing loan index
on the organization of the debate "Moldova's relations with its development partners following the electoral system change". Developing Political Culture through Public Debates". Public debates series held by the news agency IPN in its conference room with the support of the German Foundation "Hanns Seidel"
Held on 7 August 2017, Debate 75 brought together Vitalie Gamurari, Democratic Party spokesperson; Valeriu Ghileţchi, president of the European People's Party Group; Alexandru Bujorean, vice president of the Liberal Democratic Party; Igor Grosu, secretary of PAS Party; Igor Boțan, director of ADEPT, the Project's standing expert.
This topic was chosen because the electoral system change has been for many the most important subject on the public agenda, and will continue to remain so for many months. Both the proponents and opponents of the change seem to agree that the July 20 vote has been a turning point in the country's modern history. But it also marked if not a turning point, then certainly a period of uncertainty in Moldova's relations with its development partners, the European Union and the United States in particular. This was reflected specifically in the public statements issued on this occasion by various institutions representing Moldova's development partners, where the words 'concerned' and 'puzzled' were not the most critical ones.
The selection of speakers allowed us to evaluate, in a calm, balanced and professional manner, the impact that the electoral system change may have on the Moldova-EU and Moldova-US relations, discuss potential developments, and see what there is to do to avoid further worsening of relations.
Astfel, the standing expert of IPN's project Igor Botan, director of the Association for Participatory Democracy, made reference to the statements of Federica Mogherini and Johannes Hahn, who said that the Republic of Moldova, when it changed the electoral system, practically fully ignored the recommendations of the Venice Commission. "The Republic of Moldova signed with the EU that plan of action that specified that the European Union in the democratic processes will have the Venice Commission and the OSCE as partners or landmarks. After the Association Agreement was signed, this approach remained standing, logical and legal, while the Republic of Moldova, according to European officials as well, fully ignored those recommendations. This is how our relations with the main development partner – the European Union – are characterized," stated Igor Botan.
Vitalie Gamurari, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Moldova, said the bill to amend the electoral system was drafted based on the recommendations of the Venice Commission. The opportuneness of changing the electoral system was the only element discussed and the people's opinion was taken into account here. The PDM collected 850,000 signatures from people who were for introducing the uninominal voting system. The mixed-member electoral system was the result of a dialogue and a compromise reached in Parliament, while the rule of democracy says the legislature has the right to pronounce on this.
Vitalie Gamurari noted the proposal to change the electoral system was submitted by the PDM and also by others in 2013 and was supported also by the extraparliamentary parties and by representatives of civil society. When the proposal was drafted, all the procedures were respected and unprecedentedly broad debates were staged. The relations between Moldova and the development partners haven't worsened, but there is probably a break or a small misunderstanding. The PDM wants a dialogue with the development partners to explain how things stand in fact and the relations will definitely improve since autumn.
Alexandru Bujorean, deputy chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova, said the relations with the development partners definitely worsened with the change in the electoral system and the PLDM is concerned about the situation in which Moldova found itself after the adoption of this system that is designed to keep particular parties in power. "The PLDM is a member of the family of the European People's Party, which has the largest group in the European Parliament, and the statements made this party and European officials were rather harsh. These condemned the actions of the ruling alliance and the decision to amend the electoral system," he stated.
The Lib-Dem reminded the statements made by the EPP and ALDE, whereby the European institutions were requested to assess the decline in the rule of law and democratic standards in the Republic of Moldova, to stop any financing, to apply the strictest conditionality to any future financial assistance and to re-evaluate the Association Agreement as soon as possible. All these requests are catastrophic for the Republic of Moldova. "Regrettably, the representatives of the PDM and PSRM do not have the slightest idea as to the effort made by the PLDM at internal and foreign levels for this agreement to be signed and then ratified. Hard work was done and if this agreement is re-evaluated the ordinary people will be affected first of all," stated Alexandru Bujorean.
Valeriu Giletski, leader of the parliamentary group of the European People's Party of Moldova, said the relations between the Moldovan authorities and the development partners develop in a normal political framework. Evidently, the adoption of the mixed system generated a more critical reaction on the part of the European bodies, but there is nothing grave here. Greater communication is needed to convince the development partners that the electoral system change didn't affect the democratic principles and the rule of law.
"Our relations with the European partners develop in a free, democratic way and in normal conditions. We earlier had situations when we had critical opinions on the part of the Europeans. They should evidently be analyzed, but it is also important for them to hear our voice – why did we do what we did? That's why I do not make a drama of this critical reaction of the European institutions," stated Valeriu Giletski.
Igor Grosu, secretary general of the Party "Action and Solidarity", said the Republic of Moldova turned from a success story into a headache and a big disappointment for the development partners. This should be said honestly and the defective communication or its absence should not be invoked as the communication is very good and the partners realize things well.
According to the PAS secretary, the relations worsened because the European partners understood that the Government of Moldova tried to mislead the development partners with lists of laws and mechanisms and was for now successful. "But the Europeans understood it clearly that beyond the negotiated laws, there is also the notion of rule of law and there are captured institutions. These problems are daily faced by the people," he stated.
Igor Grosu considers the Republic of Moldova will encounter difficulties in restoring this confidence because Moldova is not the center of universe and the EU has also other problems, conflicts and more problematic states, such as Ukraine, Syria and Turkey. According to him, the promoters of the idea modified the electoral system to make sure that they will keep power, to the detriment of the people's welfare.
