Pity Germany
Germany gets a lot of criticism these days. That is the price of success and economic health. Critics thinks you should be doing things better – even if what you are doing is much better than whatever everybody else is doing.
The New York Times economics correspondent Neil Irwin has argued: "Europe has been forced to fix its internal imbalances.... largely [by forcing] steep cuts in wages and benefits on the southern European countries so that they can regain competitiveness against Germany.
But there's an easier way (or what should be an easier way). Middle-income German workers could be paid more. They could use those higher salaries to consume more, whether German-made widgets, vacations in Greece or Spanish wine. That would mean lower trade surpluses for Germany, lower trade deficits for Southern Europe, and less German savings being recycled into Greek or Spanish debt. Higher incomes for working-class Germans would mean a more prosperous, financially stable Europe — and it wouldn't be too shabby for German workers, either.
Reuters reported: "Germany should pursue reforms to narrow the social divide in employment and pave the way for more sustainable growth, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said on Tuesday. Europe's biggest economy has proved resilient amid global financial turmoil and the euro zone debt crisis, and German unemployment stands at post-unification lows even as job losses mount elsewhere in Europe." OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria declared: "Germany is doing very well, but our aim is to make sure that everybody is on board.
The same day, "German Chancellor Merkel hosted a star-studded group of A-listers on Tuesday in Berlin. The meeting in the Chancellery included the heads of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), more commonly called the 'club of rich countries'; the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the International Labor Organization (ILO)," reported DW.com. In their post-meeting press release, the world leaders declared that it was their goal "to improve living conditions for all people worldwide and to protect the natural resource base and the Earth's systems … also for future generations."
Meanwhile, there has been an increasing chorus over the last year about whether Germany is spending enough to replace its aging infrastructure. Last June, Der Spiegel reported: "From the outside, Germany appears to have a robust economy. But a new study by a leading economic institute reveals that the country is investing far too little in infrastructure and its future, effectively saving itself to death....Germans save more money than most living in the industrialized world, but they invest very little in their future, making them much weaker economically than leading politicians realize. But according to a new study by the German Institute of Economic Research (DIW), Germany is saving itself to death. One area in serious need of investment is the country's roadway system."
So under the new economics, German thrift is bad. Perhaps a little more thrift around the world would have saved the world from the great Recession of 2008.

In Utah, A Tough Year for the Overdog
Bob Bennett's defeat in last Saturday's Republican primary might be the beginning of a national trend.
In the early 1990s, when incumbent members of Congress long thought to hold safe seats suddenly found themselves in political trouble over tax increases and the House bank, a Washington lobbyist friend lamented to me, "This is a tough year for the overdog." The same can be said, and perhaps with more emphasis, about election year 2010.
Case in point: Bob Bennett of Utah. Mr. Bennett, who has served three terms in the Senate, was just denied a place on the primary ballot by the state GOP convention in Salt Lake City....

Earlier today I visited the Falls of Braan at Ossian's Hall near Dunkeld in central Scotland.
Ossian's Hall comprised part of a 'finger' of landscaped, natural garden which in turn was part of the nearby Atholl Estates. This was intended for high status entertainment during the 18th century.
The approach to the Hall is via a trail through a large grove of Douglas Firs which was planted in 1920. The trees originate in North America and will probably last another 300-400 years.
The river hurtles through the dark and deep chasm then under the highly picturesque bridge (c.1770) which crosses the river then runs black and silent into a pool on the edges of which grows one of the tallest trees in Britain, a Douglas Fir with a height of about 200ft. Salmon are found in the pool but they have difficulty moving upstream through the falls.
Ossian's Hall sits forty feet above the bottom of the waterfall and was constructed (1758) in such a manner, that the visitor, approaching the cascade, is entirely ignorant of the waterfall, it being concealed by the walls of the Hall. In its original design, the visitor would undergo a series of "experiences", firstly a painting of Ossian, the last of his race, blind from age, lamenting to Malvina the death of his son Oscar:-
"Darkness comes on my soul, O fair daughter of Toscar!
I behold not the form of my son at Carun,
Nor the figure of Oscar on Crona
The rustling winds have carried him far away
And the heart of his father is sad.
But lead me, O Malvina! to the sound of my Woods,
To the roar of my mountain streams.
Let the chase be heard on Crono;
Let me think on the days of other years.
And bring me the harp, O maid,
That I may touch it when the light of my soul shall rise.
Be thou near to learn the song:
Future times will hear of me!
The sons of the feeble hereafter will lift the voice on Cona
And, looking up to the rocks, say, 'here Ossian dwelt!"
Then the visitor was presented by a loud noise, and the whole foaming cataract before him/her was reflected in several (20?) mirrors, and roaring with the noise of the thunder:-
"A gay saloon, with waters dancing
Upon the sight wherever glancing;
One loud cascade in front, and lo!
A thousand like it, white as snow,
Stream on the walls, and torrents foam
As active round the hollow dome.
Illusive cataracts! of their terrors
Not stripped nor voiceless in the mirrors;
That catch the pageant from the flood,
Thundering a-down a rocky wood,
Strange scene! fantastic and uneasy
As ever made a maniac dizzy.
When disenchanted from the mood
That loves on sullen thoughts to broad."
The Hall interior was decorated with finely executed Arabesques which captured visitors attention. It was originally decorated by a Mr.Stewart of London, a native of the Strath (region) in which the Hall is placed.
Video clip of Falls and Hall interior.
In 1860 the Hall was blown up by local rioters. The mirrors were shattered but not replaced and remained in situ until the 1920s. The Hall was in danger of collapse in 1944 when heritage organisation, The National Trust for Scotland acquired the property. It was then rebuilt using a design by Basil Spence (architect). Another rebuild was undertaken in 2006 with aim of retaining the original series of experiences. Doors reinstated and also the mirrors; the latter using polished stainless steel. Reinstated Hall interior can be seen in video clip featuring in this post (above).

Youth ask: 'Why are a bunch of old men banning shisha?'
Thursday January 4 2018
Kenya has now joined Rwanda and Tanzania in East Africa in banning the smoking of water-pipe tobacco, popularly known as shisha (or sheesha).
If one keeps to the purist tradition, shisha tobacco is mixed with molasses or honey and, unlike the tobacco cigarettes that contain industrial chemicals and artificial additives, it's made of only natural substances.
Its champions say that makes it relatively "safe".
However, the authorities say that the only thing safe about shisha is the hookah through which it is smoked; otherwise, it is a dangerous concoction that is full of full of all sorts of addictive drugs that is taking our youth straight to hell.
They are, probably, right.
The ban, not surprisingly, has been ridiculed on youth-dominated social media with many saying it is the least of Kenya's problems.
Perhaps one of the bigger problems with the shisha bans we are seeing in East Africa is the policy incoherence associated with them. Unless you totally ban tobacco and smoking, it doesn't make sense to ban shisha, which is still used by fewer people than smoke cigarettes.
The health authorities also say shisha is a conduit for alcohol abuse, which it might be. However, alcohol is only controlled, not banned.
This suggests that the reasons given for the bans are a red herring. The bigger problem with sisha seems to be rather simple, really: It is a strange creature that does not lend itself to being taxed either as a drink, cigarette or food. Secondly, because it is communal recreation, people get their fix for a far lower cost than they would from smoking, say, a pipe or cigarette.
That effectively ends up taking money away from tobacco companies, which remain among the biggest taxpayers despite all the opprobrium they have received in recent years.
Beyond the concerns about health, then, there is a need to understand the social meaning of shisha in East Africa today.
Originating in India in the 15th Century, shisha snaked its way into the Middle East and became the fashionable fix for the Ottoman empire elite before making its way into North Africa.
Street coffee culture
My first encounter with shisha was on the streets of Cairo many years ago as a journalist. I wrote about it then as intricately linked to the street coffee culture. It had a proletarian tinge to it and was democratic in the sense that there was quite some degree of freedom in discussing politics in President Hosni Mubarak's illiberal times.
It took nearly 15 years before I saw a hookah in our neck of the woods, outside the east African coast and some Somali communities. It became mainstream as a result of globalisation. For a while, it was consumed in parties by expatriates and African hipsters.
In the post-Cold War era, as Africa opened up and the economies of the Gulf (especially the United Arab Emirates and Qatar) modernised, and thousands of Africans travelled back and forth as traders, and as many stayed there to work, what might be called an "Oriental-Arabisation" of Sub-Saharan Africa culture took off.
It took many forms, including the displacement of the past big shop owned by an Asian family to small kiosks or stalls owned by the rising class of African small-scale business women in the big towns.
This coincided with the rise of sports pubs, driven by the explosion of the popularity of European football leagues, a boom in Africa's youthful population and new forms of social organising made possible by the internet and the mobile phone.
Shisha has become the glue that holds Africa's millennials together, the pool in which they drown the angst of their age. But also, it is important in a time of globalisation as, perhaps, the one strong trend that did not have its roots in the West.
None of this is to say the devil does not live in shisha. Rather, that banning it is ineffective and will only drive it underground and make it more fashionable as a counter-culture and counter-establishment indulgence.
The young people probably think that fellows who smoked cigarettes, stole their parents' gin and stuffed themselves with LSDs have, in a fit of midlife jealousy, taken away their favourite object of benign sin.
A better path might be to regulate and licence shisha. We might not see it yet but I think there surely must be something good from having such diverse groups of young people gathering around hookahs.

PAST and present members of Wicklow Community Games came together in the Powerscourt Arms Hotel last week to honour Lily Kavanagh for a life-time of service.
2017 is the Community Games jubilee year and, to mark the occasion, a Golden Volunteer from each county was selected. Not only was Lily picked as Wicklow's Golden Volunteer, she was also voted by the pubic as the overall volunteer of the year for all of Ireland.
Wicklow County Board organised a party in recognition of Lily's dedication to the games having been one of four people who started the games 46 years ago. She is still actively involved and holds the position of Life President.
Chairman Michael Kenny said: ' This is not a day for speeches but a celebration of the life of Lily Kavanagh who has dedicated her time to the children and the good of Community Games.'
On behalf of the county board, Michael presented Lily with a beautiful memory book of pictures. Deputy Pat Casey presented her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, while Health Minister, Simon Harris took time out from his busy schedule to pass on his congratulations to Lily in person.
Guests were reminded on years gone by thanks to a memory board decorated with old photographs, press clippings and PRO books from different eras.
Lily's 90th birthday takes place on October 29 so she also received a birthday cake along with a message book.
Lily said she was truly honoured to see many old friends present especially James O'Reilly of Arklow, who has been battling illness, and his wife Sadie, who have given a lifetime to Community Games.
Phyllis Farrell, the county PRO, said she was delighted to be part of this special day and wanted to thank the Kavanagh family along with members of Wicklow County Board, Michael Kenny, Mary Brett Kelly, Fiona Shannon, Margret Reid, Breda Reid, Maura Reid and Ellen Nolan, who all helped organise the day.

I think that by now everybody with a television has seen the Go Sober advert by McMillan.
It starts jauntily by saying that man has been drinking since the dawn of time and since the day after he's been having hangovers. It then goes on to try and persuade people to stop drinking for a whole month and fill the time with something else. Watch it now.
When I first saw it I thought I was in a televised meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and that I was listening to the story of that one person who can't believe that they have a problem. It was painful to watch.
It's an advert that appears to be aimed at people with an alcohol problem yet it is aimed at the whole population.
The idea behind Go Sober is that you stop drinking and somehow raise money for McMillan. You can do it in teams and get on a leaderboard on the website that's dedicated to Go Sober and you can even aim for a place as the top fundraiser.
All well and good you may think but, there is always a but.
McMillan are a charity that provides care and support for people with cancer. They do a fantastic job and need funding as Government funding is in an ever increasing downward spiral.
However, over drinking can cause or enhance the chance of having SEVEN different types of cancer. If you are a regular drinker (and Go Sober presumes you are) then you are risk from or have an enhanced risk from
- breast cancer
- laryngeal (voice box) cancer
- liver cancer
- mouth cancer
- oesophagel (food pipe) cancer
- pharyngeal (upper throat) cancer
- bowel cancer
That is, not to put to fine a point on it, a shit load of cancer.
To put it simply, McMillan want you to raise money for the care you may have to have when/if you succumb to cancer that was caused by your alcohol consumption
"Thinking of taking on Go Sober? Wondering if you've got the willpower to see it through? For so many Brits, the prospect of a dry thirty-one day stretch can seem as gruelling as any marathon. Psychologist Sarah Gibson shares a few tips to help you rise to the challenge."
The above paragraph from the Go Sober website is very telling as is the fact that I could only find a single sentence about getting help if you find out you need it because your drinking is so out of control but the only sign post is to your doctor. Many people with an alcohol problem will only talk to their doctor as a last resort.
I'm sure that McMillan will get a ton of money to go towards their valuable work but hey, do a little bit at least towards alcohol awareness and where to get help. I don't think that there's many alcoholics that are sober today because of a fundraising campaign for a cancer charity.

|Situated on 152 acres of magnificent gardens and grounds just 15 minutes from downtown Indianapolis, the IMA is home to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Oldfields?Lilly House & Gardens and the future Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park. According to an article in the IndyStar.com (see below), "Flowers, shrubs and about five-dozen Red Sunset maple trees have all been planted atop a massive underground parking garage.
City officials hope the rooftop can help inspire a larger movement toward more environmentally friendly building practices in Indianapolis as part of Mayor Bart Peterson's pledge to push a "sustainable" city agenda." The excess water from the roof is funneled to a nearby wetland area. Deputy Mayor Steve Campbell says Indianapolis plans to further develop its own green plan, including more greenroofs.
|AN ebuild article from November, 2006 states "At the IMA's parking garage, about 60 Red Sunset maple trees are rooted in 4 feet of Haydite, a heat-expanded shale that is lightweight and porous. It is mixed with sand and bark mulch, but no dirt.
The IMA's underground parking garage and roof-planting project accomplished several goals, Zelonis said. An aboveground garage would have interfered with the views of the main museum building and surrounding landscapes. With the more expensive, below-ground structure, the museum was able to address parking and aesthetic concerns, he said."

WARNING: Visitors should be aware that this website includes images and names of deceased people that may cause sadness or distress to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Message from the Director of the National Museum of Australia
Welcome. On behalf of the National Museum of Australia, I would like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples of the Australian Capital Territory on whose land our institution is located. I also acknowledge and thank Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities around the country for working with us to share their stories.
In 2012, the National Museum of Australia will undergo significant change. A renovation and expansion of our current café area in the Great Hall will create a waterfront dining experience for visitors and free up the Great Hall to become a Large Object Display zone. This will present us with the opportunity to display some of the larger items within the Museum's collections such as the 1936 Percival Gull monoplane and the 1925 Fowler Steam Road Locomotive. Our working theme for this zone is 'Travelling through Country', and the space will encourage visitors to journey through the objects, and then enter the galleries.
Concept development for the renovation and refreshment of the Gallery of First Australians is also underway. Although there have been many small changes in the Gallery, this is the first time that curators will be able to revisit the overall vision for the Gallery of First Australians since the Museum opened in 2001. We are excited about representing the contemporary experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians within the revamped galleries. The Museum has also been busy creating more opportunities for digital interface through our website. We have upgraded the website and are working to upload content from our exhibitions, research and collections for greater access by our national and international audience.
This year also sees a changing of the guard with the appointment of Alisa Duff as the new Head of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Program. Alisa takes over from Michael Pickering, who has moved to head up the new Curatorial and Research unit. I am delighted to welcome Alisa back to the National Museum again.
We're excited about these developments and the progress that the National Museum of Australia is making, and invite you to come with us on this journey.
Andrew Sayers AM

The Sassi di Matera
Matera, the European Capital of Culture 2019
By Patrizio Roversi
One of the aspect that always strikes tourists in Basilicata (or Lucania) is the hospitality of the Lucanians, the locals: it's simply overwhelming, devoted, full of nuances and attentions, always stimulating.
Christ Stopped at Eboli
In the emblem of Matera there is an ox with a sheaf of wheat in the mouth. The breeding is one of the most important traditions in Basilicata. It has determined, and still determins, not only the landscape, but also the economy and the socio-economical relations. Matera has been nominated as European Capital of Culture 2019, but its cultural roots definitely lies on the agriculture: it is thanks to its peasant culture if Matera is what it is today. Originally, the famous Sassi di Matera were peasants' houses and barns for the livestock. If you want to know more about it, go and read the book 'Christ Stopped at Eboli' by Carlo Levi, or go and see his paintings. Levi was a doctor, an artist and anti-fascist intellectual, who was sent in internal exile in Lucania in 1935, and wrote a passionate description of the local peasant culture, telling about the misery of the labourers. In 1979 they also released a film based on the book.
From Shame to Pride: the Sassi
In 1948 Palmiro Togliatti and Alcide de Gasperi unfolded the scandal of the Sassi di Matera, highlighting the fact that people were living in unsustainable conditions. Their motto was "Matera shame of Italy". In 1952 a law ensured that the 15.000 inhabitants of the Sassi had to be evacuated and collocated the in new quarters. Luckily, the best architects of the time worked hard to construe new houses that, in some way, respected the lifestyle of Matera-peasants, using the typical material that gives the Sassi their beautiful colour: the tuff. So that Matera is beautiful in its suburbs too. The Sassi had been abandoned until 1986, when another law promoted their retrieval, a retrieval that is still somehow ongoing. In 1993 Matera became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Thanks to the beauty of the landscape, to the courage of its inhabitants and the retrieval of its identity (both urban and cultural), Matera is now a symbol of a South that does not give up. Actually, if we look at its history, we'll find out that all this is not news: in 1514 the people of Matera made a revolution and killed the despotic Count Tramontano. And during the II World War Matera was the first city in the South to rebel against the Germans, who the 21st of September 1943 massacred 15 innocent hostages: amongst the new houses there is a stone that commemorates the place in which the Nazis blew up a building where they were held; and, if I'm not wrong, the stadium also is called "XXI September". And this is the spirit you capture today in Matera, now that the city is living a magic moment, full with palpable excitement thanks to the nomination as European Capital of Culture. This is what you capture while talking to the locals, walking through Piazza Vittorio Veneto or visiting the many monuments this city offers, from the Palombaro to Sant'Agostino, but even just walking into a shop or visiting a farm.

The train
Matera today goes fast like a train, it hasn't miss the chance to develop, but still… it doesn't have an actual railway! If you come from the Tyrrhenian coastline, the train from Naples will stop at Ferrandina, which is 37 kilometres and 200 meters far from Matera. If you come from the Adriatic coastline and from Bari there is a small-gauge train, very picturesque but very uncomfortable too, and also suspended on Sundays. There are just buses left. So nowadays there is still a long way to go to reach Matera. If Carlo Levi returned to the world he would surely write "A poor Christ has to stop in Ferrandina".
On the one hand it must be said that the isolation and the fact that Matera has never been a wealthy place, preserved it from mass tourism and from the attention of the organised crime which are all the rage in the neighbouring regions, and so made it the paradise that it is today, though the price to pay was high. It took a lot of passion and identity pride to get back on top. But now comes the fun part: now the Sassi have been recovered, but what will they become? Just hotels and shops for tourists? Will it become a beautiful, but fake, village, as many other in Italy? Luckily, 5.000 locals will go back to inhabit the Sassi.

text: After hours of exploring in search of the amnesiac girl the remaining party members stumble wearily onto the elven encampment, and are quickly surrounded by armed elven guards. After a brief negotiation between Mauryn Del Ver and the native elves, they are escorted to the outpost's matriarch, Elde. To the great relief of the party, the amnesiac girl is summoned and presented unharmed by Merdarion, an elf introduced to the party as a representative of the Order of the Stars. Elde questioned the party as to their identities, and the story of Solovey and Adrian is told. Merdarion speaks on behalf of the Order, which he explains is an organization of elven sorcerers and druids who work to destroy "unnatural" menaces to elvenkind. He says that the Order is aware of the outbreak of the cult of Falconcrest, and that it corresponds to an increased instance of lizardfolk attacks and strange gatherings and rituals being performed. The elves wish the party to investigate a local ruin, a massive stone ziggurat which had, over centuries of abandonment, become overgrown with vines and half-sunken into the mire of the swamp. This place was a major center of occult activity among the lizardfolk, and the Order wished to act on the possibility that it was related to the occult violence in Falconcrest. In exchange, they offered to protect the amnesiac girl from harm, and work a cleansing ritual on her to try and recover some of her memory. The party, hoping to appease the elven captors and reasoning that information the girl's memories could contain was worth the risk to themselves, set off with a company of elven warriors towards the ziggurat, into the lizardfolk-infested swamps beyond the forest stronghold.

There is no question about it – alumni definitely come out for Homecoming. All day Saturday the College was teeming with hundreds of past, present and possibly future Lions. Events on Friday and Sunday rounded out a weekend of reunions and celebration.
"I love visiting the campus and seeing how it's changed since we graduated," Stacy Foster, class of 2002, said.
Tailgating in the parking lots began as early as 9 a.m. and continued into the late afternoon. The bleachers were packed during the first half of the big game, but spectators steadily filtered out during the second half, even though the game went into overtime. It was evident that those who attended the festivities were most interested in catching up with old acquaintances and drinking lots of beer.
According to the alumni of a former fraternity at the College, Homecoming is the only opportunity they have to get together and have a good time.
Tailgaters grilled food under tents with coolers of beer and stereos blasted music at high volume. Students and alums played intense games of beer pong and ring toss between the parked cars. Others chose to have football catches.
There was a strong feeling of camaraderie in the air throughout the day, with many happy reunions and the occasional playful scuffle breaking out between friends.
"(My favorite part of Homecoming) is running into people I haven't seen since freshman year," Mark Calaguio, class of 2004, said.
One alum summed up his feelings about the day in an amusing way when he commented to his friend, "I feel very old and very drunk."
With such a high level of commotion and excitement, many were surprised at the minimal amount of intervention from Campus Police. Their relaxed presence seemed to be at odds with the recently heightened penalties for underage drinking on campus. According to Tracy Vargo-Boehm, class of 2002, the police were much stricter during past Homecomings.
"Usually they kick you out by halftime, but the game's over and we're still here," Vargo-Boehm said.
For the youngsters in attendance, inflatable moon bounces were set up on the lawn by Lot 4.
After the game, alums congregated in the Brower Student Center Atrium, the Rathskellar and outside in the "beer garden" for the Alumni Happy Hour, part of the 1970s-themed "Brower Power" party. The event celebrated the building's 30th anniversary with hit songs from the '70s.
Reunion tables were set up throughout the atrium for numerous student organizations. These included the Student Government Association, College Union Board, Group Student Development Services, Student Finance Board, Black Student Union, Leadership Development Program, WTSR, The African-American and Latino Alumni Network and alumni from the business, law and justice, nursing and music programs.
Other Homecoming events included an alumni-exclusive luncheon with College President R. Barbara Gitenstein and former presidents Harold Eickhoff and Clayton Brower on Saturday, and the College Athletics Annual 5K Walk-Run around campus on Sunday.

Appointment with GP this morning as my breathing is worse than when I was diagnosed in July. Switched me from Symbicort 200/6 to Seretide 250. She said I should not be displaying these symptoms at this early stage - FEV1 73%. Had 2 chest x rays which are clear. Blood tests clear. No sign of chest infection. Still awaiting appointment with Consultant which she is going to chase up. I guess I will have CT scan. I go to PR class now.
My breathing is like - when I walk from one side of room to other, I am gasping.
I have been off work since July and handing in sick certs. First time in all my 40+ years of working I have ever put in sick certs. Wonder how long GP will give me them for and should I just call it a day and quit the job that I have been in for many many years? How would that leave me benefit wise?
I thought I was doing good taking my assortment of different Vitamins i.e. Multi vitamin, NAC, Vit D3 5000iu but she said not to take the Vit D3 as can cause more harm than good. I seem to be taking 3 steps forward and 6 back.

Yeshivat Hesder of Upper Nazereth - ישיבת ההסדר נצרת עלית
One of the primary criteria for determining which programs and initiatives the IIF will choose to help fund is the strategic or ripple effect significance of a particular project. We favor those where relatively modest levels of financial support can have outsized impact.The Yeshivat Hesder of Upper Nazareth is a great example of the potential for such beneficial ripple effect in a development town facing the most daunting social and demographic challenges.

Only a parent can understand the frustration of other parents when their child is attacked by cyber-bullies. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that there is an increasing awareness about this problem. More and more schools, parents, teachers, and legislators are now aware of this problem. It is no longer a "closet" problem, if you will, writes Uma Gupta. The bad news is that we don't have solutions. Perfect solutions or even imperfect solutions are still in the making. But one thing Dr. Gupta says does not work and that is remaining silent when you are under attack. "You must speak up. You must make your voice be heard. And you must make it loud and clear that you will not be bullied."

Home ownership
An overview of UK-wide affordable home ownership schemes is available on the government's Own Your Home website.
First time buyers looking to buy a home in London can access properties and resources through the Mayor's First Steps programme.
There are three main options available to applicants:
Shared Ownership – or 'part buy part rent' as it's often known - means buying a new or existing property from a housing association. You purchase a minimum of 25% of the property then pay rent on the remaining share.
Rent to Save - you can rent a property while saving for a deposit through our Rent to Save scheme. You can rent for up to five years, but at any point during the tenancy you can purchase on shared ownership or shared equity terms.
Help to Buy - you purchase a minimum of 80% of the property with a mortgage and a deposit. You need to be able to raise a minimum deposit equivalent to 5% of the value of the property.

No shortage of storylines ahead of College Football Playoff championship game
The College Football Playoff championship game features the likes of two very different programs. The Alabama Crimson Tide is so used to playing in games like these that it's a surprise when Nick Saban isn't playing for a title. Clemson, on the other hand, is playing for its first national title since 1981, and coach Dabo Swinney has Alabama ties that run deep. Let's take a look at some of the most important storylines ahead of Monday night's game.
Dabo Swinney was raised on Alabama football:
It's true — Swinney's hometown is Pelham, Ala. — which is just 62 short miles from Tuscaloosa. Swinney grew up worshipping houndstooth and Bear Bryant. He would end up walking on the football team and earned himself a football scholarship that allowed him to play from 1990-92. Swinney began his coaching career at Alabama in 1996 as a full-time assistant under former Crimson Tide head coach Gene Stallings.
This isn't Alabama's first rodeo:
Alabama has been in this position before. Monday night's game marks the fourth time since January of 2010 that the Tide is playing for a national title. And if Alabama wins on Monday, it'll give the program its 15th national title — the most of any FBS program in the country. Clemson, on the other hand, hasn't been in this position since 1981 — Clemson won the national championship that year under head coach Danny Ford. The Tigers beat Nebraska, 22-15, that year in the 1982 Orange Bowl.
Clemson's Deshaun Watson might be the x-factor to defeat Alabama:
Alabama, especially Nick Saban-coached Alabama teams, is notorious for struggling against dual-threat quarterbacks. Some of the most successful include Auburn's Cam Newton in 2010, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel in 2012, Dak Prescott in 2014 and Tennessee's Joshua Dobbs this season. All four of those guys averaged 291 yards combined rushing and passing. Watson enters Monday night's game having thrown for 3,699 yards and 31 touchdowns along with 1,032 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.
Alabama's defense might go down as the greatest ever:
Heading into Monday night's showdown in Glendale, Ariz., Alabama's defense ranked first in the country in scoring and rushing defense, second in total defense, and fourth in passing efficiency defense. The unit has 50 sacks on the season — first in the country — along with 70 quarterback hurries. One of the most menacing qualities about the unit's defense is the defensive line, which has helped the Tide to hold its opponents to an average of 71 yards per game on the ground.

Not yet finished with a 12-story, $1 billion building project begun in 2004, UK HealthCare on Thursday announced plans for another 12-story tower to replace Good Samaritan Hospital.
The budget for the first tower project has grown from about $400 million to $1 billion, and the completion date has changed from 2009 to beyond 2021. It is now about two-thirds complete, UK HealthCare spokeswoman Kristi Lopez said.
Under the plan announced Thursday, UK HealthCare will knock down part of South Limestone's Good Samaritan, which it purchased in 2007; renovate the remaining space for offices, and build another 12-story tower for patients adjacent to UK Chandler Medical Center.
There was no budget or time line presented for the Good Sam replacement project when the announcement was made during the retreat of the Health Care Committee of the UK Board of Trustees.
Dr. Michael Karpf, vice president for health affairs, said the long-term plan has always been to move patients out of Good Samaritan because the building is outdated and unable to handle the technological needs of a modern hospital. Good Samaritan has 220 beds.
The construction is necessary, although building a hospital in sequential pieces is unusual, Karpf said. He tells people who ask if construction at UK will ever end that the answer is no, he said.
In addition to the hospital building project, UK HealthCare announced a dramatic shift toward expanding outpatient services. It wants to move away from generating the bulk of its revenue from the most complex cases, Karpf said.
Focusing on generating revenue from the sickest patients -- UK health officials call this group the "sweet spot" because it represent the highest level of per patient revenue -- has long been a priority.
The "sweet spot" group is about 5 percent of the total patients served by UK.
But times have changed. Nationally, 85 percent of hospital revenue in the 1990s came from inpatient services. Now, he said, only 40 percent comes from that area.
UK still depends on inpatient services for 68 percent of its revenue, he said, because it lags the national trend of focusing on outpatient services, a shift supported by many tenets of the Affordable Care Act, Josh Lee of Deloitte Consulting said.
This shift comes just three months after UK won state approval to add 120 beds to create a 954-bed campus.
UK HealthCare chief financial officer Murray Clark said UK still needed those beds because of a larger-than-projected influx of patients over the past 10 years. Plus, he said, the state-of-the-art facilities are needed to provide comprehensive care to the 5 percent of patients in the "sweet spot."

Condor Digester is a sewer and septic system treatment solution that has been produced and distributed for over 25 years to chemically 'pre-digest' organic wastes and maintain a healthy, odor free environment in septic tanks, vault toilets, sludge pits, hog farms and sewage treatment facilities.
Condor Digester is a sulfonated petroleum product ("sulfonated" means it is blended with a mild acid so that it consumes dead proteins) that is used for the deodorization and digestion of organic solid wastes.
How It Works
The application of Condor Digester breaks out oxygen molecules from water in huge quantities. Once oxygen is available, aerobic bacteria ("good" bacteria) begin to grow and multiply at incredible rates. These "good" bacteria produce enzymes which then break down solid wastes and anaerobic bacteria (these are the "bad" bacteria that produce the bad smells). Once broken down, the good (aerobic) bacteria consume the remains of the bad (anaerobic) bacteria. With all of this newfound energy, the good (aerobic) bacteria now produce more enzymes, which further break down bad bacteria…and so on. Once started, this chain reaction feeds itself and expands exponentially. As an added bonus, the only by-products of this intense activity are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Regarding Safety
Since anything placed in a septic system or sewage treatment facility will ultimately end up in the soil or adjacent water, it is important to understand the potential impact on our environment, including critical watersheds. As a responsible company, Earth Science Products has submitted Condor Digester to dozens of agencies for batteries of tests over the years. All of the testing has served to confirm two facts:
- Condor Digester is an extremely effective degrader of waste build-up and odor controller
- Condor Digester produces no harmful by-products as a result of its function
A partial listing of these agencies and their analysis of Condor Digester…
Studies conducted by Logan A. Norris PhD, Director of Forest Sciences Laboratory, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon, U.S.A.
Officials of the U.S. Forestry service have determined that Condor Digester presents no environmental problems. In fact, Condor Digester has been cleared for use on the Bull Run watershed, which serves drinking water to the entire city of Portland, Oregon, U.S.A., the 25th largest city in the United States.
Based on scientific studies performed by the U.S.A. Forest Department, and the Oregon Department of Transportation, Condor Digester proved to be an extremely effective method of reducing waste build-up and odor control in safety rest area buildings and corresponding drain fields. In the study produced by the Materials and Research Section of the Oregon Department of Transportation, it was noted that during the test period the response of the drain field to the septic tank effluent was "excellent". During the test period, the system would normally have been pumped 2 to 3 times but, because of the use of Condor Digester, was only pumped once. This represents a reduction in the pumpable solids of up to 70%. From an economic standpoint, it was stated that the use of Condor Digester was economically cost effective because it alleviates the necessity of periodic rodding and occasional building of new drain fields.
Lieutenant Colonel Jon C. Hill, Inspector-Instructor, United States Marine Corps, submitted a recommendation to the Commandant of the Marine Corps in Washington, D.C. to use Condor Digester in the field to provide the Marine Corps with a substantially better procedure than is presently available for treatment of human waste, grease, fats and cooking oils in field kitchens and messes. LtCol Hill felt the flies that move from the 'heads' (field restroom facilities) to the food preparation and eating areas spread disease and are a constant concern. The present method of burning the human waste generated from a field 'head' produces horrific odors and a burn threat to Marines. LtCol Hill felt that the use of Condor Digester is an effective means to eradicate these problems, thereby increasing the general health and well-being of the armed forces.
The California State University at Fresno, California, U.S.A., School of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, conducted tests of Condor Digester for the purpose of controlling and enhancing the air quality of the Swine Unit of the University. After extensive testing, Mr. Kevin M. Schreder, a swine technician, concluded:
The air quality is considerably better and more pleasant when treated with Condor Digester. Secondly, by having an improvement in the air quality, this would then help reduce the incidence of Atrophic Rhinitis. Atrophic Rhinitis is a minor disease in hogs that is a disturbance of the nasal passages, which can lead to other health disease. By breathing better air, it would help reduce the incidence or severity of Atrophic vaccines, medications and feed costs caused by retarded growth. Finally, a third benefit would be the water savings and cost, which over a long period of time could be dramatic.
These are just a few examples of the uses and benefits of using Condor Digester to alleviate the problems associated with proper treatment and disposal of solid wastes. Additional agencies that have used and trusted Condor Digester also include:
U.S.A. Government Service Award
U.S.A. Contract To Supply The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
U.S.A. Marine Corps
U.S.A. Park Service
Bureau of Indian Affairs
U.S.A. Embassy Corps
