What are the job prospects for professionals such as physicians and lawyers and architects? In a detailed forecast covering more than 500 occupations during the period 1996 through 2006, U.S. Labor Department economists say employment prospects for professionals are mixed.
In general, job growth in many of the traditional professions is forecast to exceed the projected 14 percent growth in overall employment.
For example, employment is forecast to increase 19 percent for lawyers, 21 percent for physicians and 20 percent for architects. But few professions are expected to experience anywhere near the 50 percent to 118 percent growth rates forecast for certain computer and health-care specialties.
And there are many professionals, including dentists and psychologists, who are likely to find job growth slower than in most other occupations.
Long-range employment projections are made every two years by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and have long been a vital reference for vocational guidance counselors.
The varied outlooks for the professions partly reflect demographic and technological changes. For example, projected growth in the high school- and college-age population is expected to lead to above-average growth in jobs for high school teachers (up 22 percent) and college faculty (19 percent).
But slow growth in the 5 year- to 13-year-old age group is expected to result in below-average employment growth of 10 percent for school teachers.
In other cases, employment prospects reflect restructuring trends in business. For instance, employment of executives, administrators and managers is expected to increase 17 percent _ significantly slower than the 28 percent rate in the previous decade.

This summer has basically flashed in front of my eyes. It feels like I've just been working, swimming, reading, writing, sleeping, eating (way too much!), or spending time with family. I have two weeks until school starts. Can I get my summer back, please? Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it overall, I just wish I had more summer for myself.
On the subject of school, I have already purchased my books for the Fall. Anyone interested in the cost of said books? $500. Thank goodness I am getting financial aid or I couldn't afford to put a pinky toe into college. Ah, the woes of broke college kids. Regardless of how much the books were, I am both excited and nervous to begin classes. I'm still considered a Junior, but I'm crossing my fingers and really am confident that after this semester is over I'll be a Senior. Whoop whoop! I'll end my school rant here for now and gush more once I have begun.
August also is my birth month…which I know I've brought up on more than one occasion. I feel indifferent toward the age I'll be at this point. Either way, I'm growing old and growing up (only a little on the latter!). I have already decided what I'm going to get as a birthday present for myself. I can't say what it is yet, or I'll ruin it for everyone! I am really excited for it, I've already told my parents and sister what it is, they think it's great.
By August 16th (my first day of class), I will do three different things on my blog. One, post how my first day of back to class goes; two, make a list of the books I read this summer; and three, tell everyone how far along I got on writing my book this summer. Until then, I will try to keep the updates coming. I regret to say that I will most likely be posting less frequently with school beginning, but I promise not to abandon my blog.
Enjoy what's left of your summer!

So when was the last time you stepped into a branch of your local bank to do your banking business? I think there are many people out there that will say, "I can't remember the last time I NEEDED to go to the bank". So the real question is: Why is this so? Well, for starters, more and more banks, credit unions and financial institutions have created apps for their customers. These apps are so high tech that it virtually eliminates the need for bank customers to ever have to step into a branch to do a transaction. Are you scratching your head yet and trying to remember the last time you were in your bank? Well, take a look at this chart which may help answer some of our questions as to why you haven't seen the inside the bank lately.
So, as you can see from the chart above, unless you are having some sort of banking issue, there has been a serious decline in the amount of bank transactions that are completed within your banking branches. So if the transaction volume within the branches is declining, then where is it going and more importantly WHY? Well, there are a lot of reasons that can answer this question, and one of them is that people are using their internet banking accounts and their mobile banking apps to complete all different kinds of banking transactions. Another reason that is playing a significant role in the decline of branch transactions is the increase in social media users. Matt Von Hoven shows us the State of Social Media in 5 Charts and one of these charts shows the increase in social media users over the years.
Many of you may now be thinking, "Well, banking and social media are two completely different things. So, how can they be related?" If you are thinking this, you are absolutely correct, but social media is the reason for many changes in the business world; which includes banking. Social media started out as a platform for people to connect in real time, but throughout the years it has become so much more. Social media has taught people to expect real time responses, so when it comes to banking (and many other industries) they have had to change their customer service strategies. The last thing a bank wants is for their customers to be posting their bad experience all over social media for everyone to see. I just plain looks BAD for any company.
Now we know that banks are changing their customer service strategies because of social media, but another way social media has changed the banking industry is in their marketing strategies. It is 2017, so if you are bank or work for bank and you are not using social media as a way to advertise and market the business and its products and services; this is a very good time to start considering it. First, it's CHEAP! Banks and other companies don't have to worry about the high costs of developing an ad and paying high ad costs. You can just simple create a post (you might want to add a few flashy colors and things to draw in the customers) and with a simple click of a button, you have sent off some advertising to your customers. Believe me, there are also many tools available to help companies create these flashy posts as well, so don't worry! Another reason banks might consider social media as a new marketing strategy is because you can reach a lot of people in a short period of time. As we saw earlier, the amount of people using some sort of social media account is growing every year, so if there are so many people using social media, it would be crazy not to use it as a channel to market the business.
Overall, we have found that less and less people are using physical branch locations to conduct their banking business because of the increased use of internet banking accounts and mobile banking applications. We have also found that social media, although it seems like it should have nothing to do with banking, has played a serious role in some major changes in the banking world. Banks have had to change their customer service strategies to better meet the needs of their customers ,and they have also had to change their marketing strategies as well. These are just a few of the changes in the banking industry, amongst the many, that social media has influenced.
So, have you thought about it yet? Have you been banking on the inside or the outside? Stay tuned for my next blog!

It Is An Understanding of What We Have Come Into When We Have Come Into Christ (continued)
A Spirit of Rebelliousness (continued)
You see, there is all the difference between our possessiveness, "our" possessiveness, and having what the Lord wants, and having it with all our hearts; what a difference! Now you see, the rift, the rift came that way: possessiveness to have. Adam was told by this evil one, that he could have, he could have it. He could have it if he liked to act independently on his own, out from himself. In his own right and by his own initiative, he could have it in himself and not have it by dependence upon God. That is the suggestion: 'You can have it.' 'You can be as God,' said satan; that is, 'you can be self-sufficient, self-inclusive, you can have it.'
Adam fell to it, and we fell in him, and that is in us. More or less in everyone there is that thing, that evil thing: possessiveness to have, to govern, to control, to master, to be on top of a thing, to make it serve us. It is as great a peril and temptation in Christian work as it is anywhere. And it can be found in any relationship. I dare not analyze this, but if I were to, you would see it. You would see it: how there is in this human nature that which must control things, manipulate things, somehow or other work round to get what is wanted - anything. And this is possessiveness, to get it into our power. That is devilish and satanic, if it is motivated by "self". You see the difference?
Taking Israel as an illustration, rather anticipating things, Israel was called to possess the land of promise, but they could never possess the land of promise until they had gone through the Jordan. And the Jordan was the type of the Cross where the possessiveness of satan was slain, and now it was the possessiveness of God. You see, it was so. Have I not made that clear? It was not whether I want this, whether I am going to have this; that does not come into the picture at all. It is, does the Lord want this? Whatever it costs me, the Lord fills the picture! That is the only ground of real possession, if the Lord wants it! The Lord: the right kind of laying hold, if the Lord wants it.
Well, I have spent a lot of time on that, but it is something to be taken account of. It is a very serious thing, but the Lord deals with us faithfully. Oh, that He might show us the meaning of delays, of unnecessary delays; of the loss that we suffer and His work suffers, simply because we would take it into our own hands and make it ours. No, dear friends, everything that we have in Christ has got to be His. It is the Lord's; not ours.
So we wee in all this rift its nature, a basic perversion: A basic perversion of mind, of mentality, of mindedness. A basic perversion of will to have, to possess, to decide - all perverted. And when that happened the Glory departed from man. The Glory was withdrawn and put into reserve until such time as that was dealt with and the Glory could come back. That introduces, of course, the whole meaning of the Cross; to get rid of the thing which destroys and sets aside the Glory; all the thing which put the Glory away, to deal with them, and to make way for the return of the Glory. Well, that is anticipating things, but that is the meaning.
And now this is a statement of facts. From that point, we come on to the Divine reaction to this situation which has arisen, this that we have called the rift. The Divine reaction, and although I would like to go on for another hour with this, I am not going further than to just intimate it and leave it. What I have called the forward thrust of the Will. It is a new idea that has come into my head and I like it: the forward thrust of the Will. The Will, the big Will, the capital Will, the forward thrust; at that point God said "No" to this rift and God took action to see that the Will was not frustrated, that the Will was not set aside. That the Will, "the mystery of His Will" (Ephesians 1:9), should not be defeated. He took action. The Will thrust forward.

We both loved "Casino Royale" and we both were bored with "Quantum of Solace." We talked about what makes one good and one bad.
"Quantum" is all action. There is a story and it would be a good one if the movie just gave us time to breath and take it in. It's about oil, water, corrupt governments, money, CIA coups, a secret organization and revenge, always a good motivator for movie character. By the time the movie was over, I felt only a little bit less empty than why I saw it in 2008 in theaters.
"Casino Royale" was more of a thriller than an action movie, and hopefully the new one will stick with that. It gave us a torture scene that made every male in the audience cringe in pain, attack Bond's favorite gadget.
The movies get rid of the crazy plans for world domination with the silly lairs and names and create a world where men want money more than anything else. Bond doesn't say all of his catch phrases and we haven't gotten Miss Moneypenny and Q, who both will be in "Skyfall." I think what Quantum was missing was a villain who actually was a character and not a generic action film villain. Javier Barden, who played "Anton Chigurh," one of the best movie villains, and he got the oscar for that performance in "No Country for Old Men" might be able to bring some personality to the next Bond film. Hopefully, I will feel shaken (with excitement) and not stirred (with anger) at "Skyfall."

"may the Lord give you wisdom
and understanding"
1 Chronicles 22:12
A few weeks ago, I read an article about Horatio Nelson, the British naval hero. But it wasn't just an article about his many and impressive victories at sea. Have you ever read something that has been written to correct something else, and you were kinda confused, because you had never read the original, incorrect version? That's what happened to me as I read this article.
I know the highlights of Nelson's life, and I've seen the statue in Trafalgar Square, in London. But I really didn't know anything about his personal life. He was married to Frances "Fanny" nee Nisbet in 1787, and he remained married until his death in the Battle of Trafalgar, in 1805.
But eleven years after his wedding, he began an affair with a woman named Emma Hamilton, and that relationship, too, lasted until his death.
I don't think that it's a very big secret that he was having an affair; nor was it at the time. I suppose in the eyes of the British it doesn't take away from his naval heroics, which are undeniable. And I suppose there are many who chalk such indiscretions up to "boys will be boys" or something like that. Which is a terrible excuse, but we won't go into that.
But apparently the other reason why his lack of marital integrity was forgiven was that his wife was widely seen as being at fault for the affair. Says author Colin White: "Frances Nelson almost without exception was demonized for the breakdown of the marriage. She was said to be incompatible with him: cold, whining..."
Not that that's an excuse, but we won't go into that.
At any rate, this has been the prevailing view of Lady Nelson, until recently. In 2002, several dozen letters were discovered in a private collection. They were letters from Frances, Emma, and Nelson to a friend of Nelson's, Alexander Davison. Frances felt Davison was a confidant, and so she felt free to express her feelings of love for her husband, and her concern for his reputation, despite his infidelity.
Of course, I haven't read the letters, but apparently the more one reads of Frances' heart, the more one can appreciate her innocence, and her forgiving heart. And though Fanny Nelson's reputation did not suffer during her life ~ she continued to be accepted in "polite society" despite her husband's well-known infidelity ~ the opinions formed of her after her death might have been different if people had known more about her feelings, her actions, and her intentions.
As I say, it was an article that sought to change some people's opinions of Fanny Nelson, but as I had no opinion of her to begin with, I came at it from a slightly different place. What stuck out to me was the idea of finding something out later. Of learning something, but not having all the facts, and then how it changes things when you learn them later.
This intrigues me about the Bible, too. Though we can learn from any reading of the Bible, the details matter. The details can give us more. Knowing about the church in Galatia will help us understand why Paul wrote what he did to them. Knowing how Jacob obtained Esau's birthright will help us understand the animosity in later interactions between them. Knowing chronology and geography and history will round out the lessons we learn in Scripture.
For instance, read Job 38:22-23, in which God says to Job, "Have you seen the treasury of hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?"
Now read Joshua 10:11 ~ "It happened, as the men of Gilgal fled before Israel... that the Lord cast down large hailstones from heaven... There were more who died from the hailstones than the children of Israel killed with the sword."
It opens up Scripture to see how God brought to reality what He said He would. Or see how one section illustrates another. It's about how much there is to understand about a given situation, and how much more there is to know.
Seek. Ask. Knock.
~ "He opened their understanding,
that they might comprehend the Scriptures" ~
Luke 24:45

Manchester United Gets Closer to Title
Manchester United beat Charlton 4-1 on Ruud van Nistelrooy's hat-trick Saturday to close in on its eighth English Premier League championship in 11 years.
United, which has won eight of nine games, will clinch the title if defending champion Arsenal fails to beat Leeds on Sunday.
United is 24-5-8 for 80 points with one game left, while Arsenal is 21-5-9 for 72 points with three games left, including Sunday's. Each victory is worth 3 points; a tie is worth 1.
"We're staying focused on the last game, and we're not celebrating any kind of title today," said van Nistelrooy, who has scored in nine straight games.
He scored in the 32nd, 37th and 53rd minutes Saturday, raising his league-leading total to 24 goals. United's other goal came in the 11th minute when David Beckham's kick was deflected in by defender Chris Powell.
In other games, third-place Newcastle clinched a Champions League berth with a 1-0 victory over Birmingham, West Ham edged Chelsea 1-0, Bolton tied Southampton 0-0, and Manchester City beat Liverpool 2-1 on two goals by Nicolas Anelka.
Aston Villa dealt Sunderland its 14th straight loss 1-0, Fulham defeated Everton 2-0, Blackburn tied West Bromwich Albion 1-1, and Middlesbrough topped Tottenham 5-1.

Buy Facebook fans and you will see a significant rise in your business. More and more businesses are realizing the power of Facebook in terms of marketing and earning money. And the fastest method this is to add targeted website visitors to your Facebook fans page using a reputable business that offers this service.
Buy Fans Fast
When you buys fans using a professional provider the very first thing you will need to do is choose the number of fans you want to add to your Facebook account. There are lots of services that offer a range of fan packages beginning with 1 thousands to over a million. There are millions of people using Facebook, perhaps the Queen of England, that services have no short way to obtain fans that will be interested in your services.
Once you find the proper company to do business with its super easy to buy fans. Many organisations just ask for your page URL and the variety of fan request you are seeking. Make sure that the company you might be working with can guarantee that they will indeed deliver the requested add up to your fans for your page. Also make certain that these fan requests result from english speaking real individuals and not some generated software.
If you make the decision to buy Facebook fans, don't just purchase from the first site the truth is making you an offer. Ensure you do some research before giving out your payment information. Ask question, find out if they have any testimonials from satisfied customers. Read their policies and procedures and make sure they have a Q and A section that you can scan over. Also ensure that the company you are working together with has a guarantee of some type.
To save money you might want to obtain a company that offers non-targeted fans. For me these fans are merely as good and targeted fans and price a lot less. In addition these fans are simpler to find and delivery is really a lot quicker than targeted fans. And so the bottom line is if you're looking to develop your business and make more money, buying Facebook fans may be the way to go.

which one would you choose and why?
Polynesian Luau or Hoop Dee Doo Revenue
Hoop Dee Doo
It was so good I would do it every trip.
Luau was a one time thing
Same here. We love the Hoop Dee Do. I wasn't thrill with the Laua maybe because i been to serval in Hawaii.
Definately Hoop De Doo- the Luau is just so-so.
Another vote for HDD. We would see it every trip too if we could. We love it!:wub:
I vote for HDD. I have done both and the Luau was just ok. I would say if you want to try it once to say I have been there and done it,then go for it. But, in my opinion,HDD is a blast and has great food.
I have to say the same as above. The Luau was a really lovely first time experience for us and we thoroughly enjoyed it, but we were quite taken aback at what a 'short' evening it was and we also felt as others have expressed that once done there is no rush to do it again. Whereas the HDD is such fun every time.
We haven't done the Luau yet, but had read some of the same sentiments here about it. We did Hoop-de-doo in '05 and it was fantastic. I'd vote for HDD as well!
No contest. HDDR. All you can eat fried chicken, yummy ribs, homeade bread and butter, and delicious strawberry shortcake. Wine and beer and all soft drinks included. The show is funny and entertaining for all ages babies to seniors. Lots of audience participation. It is a foot stompin', hand clappin', gut bustin' good time. The luau? Mediocre food. Hokey performance of hula, the only good thing was the fire twirler whose part was much to short. My kids kept asking "is it over yet?" We have to do HDDR every trip, the kids insist on it. We started going when the oldest was 5. Now they are 9,13, and 18.
Another vote for Hoop Dee Doo!!! It's an awesome show, SOOOO much fun, and the fried chicken is good.
HDD, which I have heard nothing but glowing reviews about.
The luau was a significant disappointment. SIGNIFICANT. Bored performers, so-so food, and ahuge rush to eat and get out, since we were at the first seating.
Hoop Dee Doo for sure. I could not stop laughing during it. The Luao is not worth the money in my book.
Another vote for HDDR. We have done both, and was not impressed with the luau. We do go almost every trip to HDDR though. It is a lot of fun and relaxing.
Wow. How often do you see a 100% rating on anything Disney here?
HDD because I'm corny like that. :laugh:
I have not done the Luau, but this past trip we decided to do the Hoop-de-do and we did not care for that at all! Kind of cheesy, (IMHO) but not in the good Disney way!
I have not heard too much good of teh Luau either!
When are you going? I have heard Mickey's Back Yard BBQ is a lot of fun!!!

RTR football squad will have new experience this fall
August 23, 2017
By Jim Kopel
Tribute Sports
The 2017 RTR Football Team will be doing something quite different this coming season. They will be playing a nine-man schedule as the result of lower numbers out for the sport. This nine-man schedule of games will be played for at least two seasons.
Head Coach Josh Fredrickson, along with assistants Ted Kern, Kent Mikkelsen, Granger Maranell and Darren Baartman, will try to make sure there are only nine men on the field at any given time.
The Knights will try to improve on a record of 3-6 from last year, which were the first wins for the Knights in four years. The key losses from last year are Tate Thooft and Jayden Strand.

So I'm sitting here watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother. Season 2. Episode 16. Titled, appropriately, Stuff.
I had to giggle to myself while watching it. The premise of this episode, at least the Ted & Robin part, is that Ted has all of this stuff from ex-girlfriends still in his home. Robin has issue with this. It doesn't start that way. It starts that they're trying to find a way to discuss past relationships, then it goes too far as Ted takes it too casual. And then comes the STUFF.
It's everywhere. Ted sees no problem with it, Robin has issue. When it's brought up for debate, the men agree with Ted, the ladies with Robin.
And it got me to thinking, and realizing, that I also have an issue with "the stuff". Robin would talk about how she could no longer just see these as things, she saw the former girlfriend and then compared herself to this girl.
I laughed. I thought to myself "Are women really this crazy about the stuff left behind?" And then I stopped laughing. I started realizing, yes. Yes we are.
I started remembering things from my relationship with Mr. Chocolate. Like the blanket that his ex-girlfriend made him in college, almost 10 years ago. I refused to use it. I'd rather freeze than sit under that blanket. Or the cd that another girl gave him, nope, wouldn't listen to it.
What's even worse, it was exactly like Robin said on HIMYM. Those items put images of the past women in my head. I started comparing myself to them. They made me insecure. Why does he still have these? Does he still love them? Are they better than me?
Does that make me crazy? Territorial? Insecure?
No, it makes me normal.
And if you have those thoughts or feelings, its ok. You're normal too. (As long as you don't let them control you. If you become so insecure that these items start to interfere with your relationship or well being, that's a whole different story. And sister, you need to talk to someone.)
Still having those items does not mean that he was still in love with the women from his past. It means that he enjoys that CD. That the blanket served a purpose. But he was also allowing new stuff into his home. My stuff. Things he'll look back at and remember the times we had (like the paint colors on your house, have fun explaining that one buddy!)
Having something from your ex in your home is ok. We all take things away from past relationships; we all leave things behind also. Some of these things are physical items, like the books sitting on my bookshelf. And some are emotional. You just have to know which ones to put on display and which ones to hide away.

Set to release their new full-length, 'Starless', on January 29th via Metal Blade Records, Germany's Ketzer has just launched a new track, 'When Milk Runs Dry', via Metal Hammer. To hear the latest from the five-piece, head over here!
For another preview of 'Starless', be sure to check out the album's title track here, where the record can also be pre-ordered in exclusive bundles.
Ketzer (German for "heretic") spent two months in the studio during the summer of 2015, recording their third album, 'Starless'. From sounds of raging fury, to the echoes of calm and cleansing waves, 'Starless' is a record that will take you on a journey that is unexpected, yet familiar at the same time. Thematically, the band explores the idea of religion v. reality-- is there a truth in between? Ketzer explains, "Centuries ago, humankind looked up into the star-filled night skies, questioning the universe and their lives within it. In order to find answers, mythology was born. But religion and myths cannot connect to the world we live in today. They have blinded the night skies - hence, we have become 'starless'."
Starless track-listing:
1. Starless
2. When Milk Runs Dry
3. Godface
4. Count To Ten
5. The Hunger
6. White Eyes
7. Shaman's Dance
8. Silence And Sound
9. Earthborn
10. Limbo
Ketzer line-up:
Gerrit - Vocals
Marius - Guitars
Chris - Guitars
David - Bass

|Elder Lacey and others at the Montevideo Temple
March 2, 2013
Dear Family,
The mission is the best.
This week we were able to see miracles. First off we found a family that I already love. They live in La Coranilla which is a beach town about half an hour away. We contacted their 24 year old son named Marcos about a month ago but we couldn't get a hold of him on his cell phone so we lost contact with him. The other day I called the zone leaders to verify with them but they didn't answer which is strange. I was just sitting there and I had the thought to call Marcos again. I called and he answered! We went out to his house and we found his whole family there! They are 6 in total and they are the best people ever! We have only had 2 charlas so far but they are reading and praying so I know that they will get an answer to their prayers and become converted to this gospel. They are really sincere and they want to study and ask questions about everything so it might take them a little longer to get baptized because we barely got through a quarter of a lesson in an hour because they liked to ask questions and analyze everything haha! The sad part is that I am pretty sure that I am leaving Chuy this change so I won't be able to be here for their baptisms but we will see.
The next miracle was that we are reactivating this family. About 3 weeks ago we went by this family and they told us that they are never coming back to church ever again and I believed them. They kind of ran us out of their house and I just felt horrible afterwards. The other day Elder Rae felt like we should go visit them just to see how they are doing. (They live out in the boondocks by the way) I thought he was crazy! haha but we went out and everything changed. The members are helping them out and they said that they prayed and decided to change their ways. They were so happy when we went over. I couldn't believe the difference in their home and in their attitudes. We are now helping them to prepare their 9 year old daughter to be baptized. I had lost hope in them and I thought they would never change. Everyone can change! This gospel is for everyone and Jesus Christ will always have his hand extended to help us. An investigator told us the other day that humans can't change. They follow their nature and do what ever they think is good. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is centered around us changing. When we are truly repentant we want to change our desires and we don't want to sin anymore. I learned a valuable lesson, that is, to never lose hope on anyone. Everyone can change.
Everyday we see wickedness in the streets and darkness in peoples eyes.... I am so grateful for the Gospel and the "fast moving train of righteousness" that we have to combat this darkness. I have seen people's eyes change. I have seen the hand of God remove the darkness and wickedness surrounding a person and make that person into a disciple of Jesus Christ, full of light.
Well, we better go get to work so that Chuy won't turn out like Sodom and Gomorrah haha! We better go make sure that there are at least a few righteous people here.
I love you guys!
Elder Lacey
PS I did get the banner! I love it! I got everything but I haven't opened 2 of the packages yet. I am saving them for my B day :) Thanks for everything!

CLARK FREEPORT -- Clark Development Corporation (CDC) President and Chief Executive Officer Noel Manankil said the state-run corporation supports the ideals of the Magalang business leaders in making the town more progressive.
Manankil issued the statement, as he presented the ongoing developments inside Clark Freeport during the fourth induction of officers and member of the Magalang Business Council Inc. (MBCI) at the Pagcor, Balibago in Angeles City recently.
Manankil said CDC is supportive of the business group who congregated to make the business climate of the town conducive to investors.
Manankil was the guest speaker during the fourth induction ceremonies of the business group in Magalang.
The MBCI was organized in 2014 to advocate for a well-rounded business climate within the jurisdiction of Magalang town. Its ideals are similar with the vision of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and industry (PCCI) and Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (Pamcham).
Manankil expressed hopes that the development in Clark will spill over to nearby towns including Magalang, Manankil said.
Roger Santos, president of the RS Construction Development based in Magalang town, was inducted president of the more than 60 members of the MBCI.
Other MBCI officers include Samuel Chan, chairman; Ignacio Morales, vice president; Lenadro Suing, Secretary, Primo Lacson, treasurer; Allan Magat, auditor; and Felicito Bautista, public relations officer.
The business club's directors are Irineo Alvaro Jr., Ruel Bathan, Benedicto Calaguas, Fernando Chan, Avelino David, Peter Dizon, Trinidad Gonzales, Roy Kempis, Richard Luciano, and Ruben Miranda.
Manankil expressed gratitude to the officers and members of MBCI and to Mayor Malou Lacson for giving him a chance to present the master plan for the Freeport.

Digital Activism
Preparing Youth for Online Civic, Political ActionMonday, April 30, 2018 Comment
The internet is where many young people get their news and express their own perspectives on civic and political issues. So, how can educators prepare them to be heard in an informed and impactful way in today's digital age? Several new Teaching Channel videos provide some great ideas and examples of what's possible. For example, in one video, featuring a lesson on creating digital stories, students in high school English teacher Janelle Bence's class, share what they learn from the lesson. One of the students says: "This generation is just a techie generation, you know? Including
Educating for Democracy: What We Can DoMonday, January 08, 2018 Comment
Teresa Chin works with youth in downtown Oakland, Calif. at Youth Radio — a media production company driven by young people. One thing she works with youth on is the development of first-person commentaries. She wants them to learn how to draw on their life experiences in order to share their perspective on a societal issue with a broad audience. As Teresa explains, "Commentaries are a really powerful tool for civic engagement. Your story is how you can get people to build empathy and understanding." Here is a video of how Teresa does this as well
How Young Activists Deploy Digital Tools for Social ChangeMonday, September 25, 2017 Comment
Nabela Noor, a young American Muslim Youtube personality, was born of Bangladeshi parents and had developed a large following based on her make-up tutorials and fashion advice. Frustrated by what she saw as Islamaphobic discourse in American society, intensified by Donald Trump's candidacy for president, she recorded and shared with her followers a powerful statement, "Dear America." Speaking directly to the camera, the 22 year old describes herself as "an American through and through" who is also a Muslim, shared the ways her schoolmates responded differently to her after 9/11, and discussed the chilling climate her
Critical Civic Innovation in Action via PhotoVoiceThursday, December 08, 2016 Comment
In the wake of last month's election, many Americans of all backgrounds are fearful about the direction in which the U.S. will be heading under President-elect Trump in areas ranging from education and healthcare to immigration and LGBTQ rights. This fear is accompanied by shock among some about the ability of so many of this country's voters to explicitly or implicitly support xenophobia, racism, and misogyny. But, to many members of underprivileged communities whose histories are marked by oppression and marginalization, shock is the province of the (racially) privileged who are having their vision of America and
Toward a Pedagogy of Repair and CareThursday, November 24, 2016 Comment
Note: This is the introduction to a four-part mini-series that looks at a growing dissonance between the politics that we espouse in our classes and the realities that our students observe in their everyday practices. The impetus for this series emerges from the fact that while in class, the young scholars I work with struggle to engage with politics of care, life, and dignity. They experience in their digital zeitgeist an emerging culture of abrasive, brutal, and abusive language and behavior that negates their intellectual engagements. Beginning with setting up the context in this first post,
Watchworthy Wednesday: Letters for the 45th PresidentWednesday, November 16, 2016 Comment
Gun control, immigration, education, abortion and police brutality are among the top issues that young people care about and want President-elect Donald J. Trump to care about, too. As part of the Letters to the Next President 2.0 project, students, ranging in age from 13 to 18, from across the country wrote letters expressing their views on myriad issues. Nearly 12,000 letters were penned online. The following are a few excerpts: "Gun violence across America has been getting progressively worse, and something needs to be done in attempt to resolve this crisis. Given the violent world we live
Watchworthy Wednesday: How to Make Digital Civic ChangeWednesday, November 02, 2016 Comment
The Youth and Participatory Politics Research Network has debuted a new website, featuring its "Action Frame" — 10 questions designed to guide young people on how to make civic change in this digital age. From the website: Sixties activists insisted the personal is political. Change-makers in the digital age get that idea, and one-up it with another rallying cry: the political is social and cultural. Your platforms and digital strategies need to make this principle count, so that you, your peers, and your audiences engage each other, and the allies you all want, in high-quality, equitable,
Anything but Beautiful and Maidenlike: The Online Civic Engagement of Brazilian WomenMonday, July 18, 2016 Comment
In 2010, we Brazilians elected our first female president. Dilma Rousseff was re-elected in 2014. Today, she awaits her impeachment trial by the Senate as Vice President Michel Temer assumes her duties. Since Temer took over as interim president in mid-May, he has made unpopular decisions that are impacting the way people react to his new government. During his first days in office, Temer eliminated nine ministries, including the Ministry of Culture. He also put an end to the Union General Control, the institution responsible for overseeing and making transparent the government's public accounts. And, he replaced all of Rousseff's
Watchworthy Wednesday: Protego — An Orlando Call to ActionWednesday, June 22, 2016 Comment
Just days before a gunman killed 49 people in a crowded nightclub in Orlando, Fla., the Harry Potter Alliance launched its "Protego" campaign, which aims to make the world a safer place for the transgender community. The Pulse nightclub shooting, the 11-year-old nonprofit HPA notes, was a hate crime that "sits at the intersection of many forms of oppression." In author J.K. Rowling's books, the heroes fight against injustice and the HPA wants people to do that in real life. "Protego is the HPA's first ever transgender rights and safe spaces campaign, named after the shield charm used in the Harry

"States are certain loci of power, but the state is not all there is of power. The state is not always the nation-state…So, already the term state can be dissociated from the term 'nation' and the two can be cobbled together through a hyphen, but what work does the hyphen do? Does the hyphen finesse the relation that needs to be done? Does it mark a certain soldiering that has taken place historically? Does it suggest a fallibility at the heart of the relation?" — Judith Butler and Gayatri Chakravarti Spivak, authors of Who Sings the Nation-State? The

I love my annual girls' weekend. My best friends and I really only see each other once a year. Every year we go to the North Georgia Mountains and rent a cabin. We do nothing all weekend! LOL We may or may not even get out of our pjs. This weekend we did come off the mountain once to go get ice cream at Sweet Treats. It was fabulous as always. We watched movies, I read 2 books, Nat and Nicol were knitting, and the best part was just sitting around talking. I really miss doing that with my best friends.
I had a great time, but it's good to be back home with Michael and the kids. I missed them.
Here is a picture of our view.

Jose Mourinho was asked about facing a Tottenham side lacking Harry Kane and he reeled off a list of his own injured players.
Mourinho named a team featuring three centre-halves to play against strikerless Tottenham and reacted spikily when Sky Sports interviewer Geoff Shreeves asked about him about Kane's absence.
"We have no Zlatan, no Pogba, no Fellaini, no Marcos Rojo, no Michael Carrick, so don't speak to me about Harry Kane," said Mourinho.
"Ask Mauricio how you approach the game without Pogba, Carrick, Rojo, Ibra, Fellaini. Did you ask that question?"
Although Manchester United are clearly missing Pogba, Zlatan was replaced in the summer by £75m Romelu Lukaku, while the other three players are not first-team starters.
Remember that it was Mourinho who said earlier this month: "I never speak about injuries.
"Other managers, they cry, they cry, they cry when some player is injured. I don't cry.
"I think the way to do it is to ignore the players that are injured, is to focus on the players that are available. It is to give confidence to the players that are available."

dog, final goodbye, grief, irish setter, pet burial, pet loss, pet owners, pets
Today, we marked the anniversary of our sweet Susie going to the Bridge by performing a little burial ceremony in our backyard, where we laid her ashes to final rest.
Susie left us on June 2nd last year, but knowing that we wouldn't be in the same house for much longer and not wanting to leave her grave site behind, we opted for her body being cremated. It was a strange year for me as I kept the urn with her ashes in our house, than moved it with us to South Dakota, and then kept it in the new house until weather and soil conditions permitted a proper burial. I felt that I didn't have a complete closure, and to be honest, toting the beloved pet's ashes around seemed quite strange, too.
Susie was my little friend from way back when it was "just us girls," always loving, always by my side, making a cross-country trek with me from Alaska to Kansas, weathering the Kansas tornado-producing storms with me, both of us trembling with fear. I adopted Susie when she was already in the "matronly" stage of her life, approximately 8 or 9 years old according to our vet's best guess, and I was blessed to have her for almost 6 years. She was a joyful little creature, sweet and loving, and with a special measure of that Irish Setter character and spirit. She was my little sweetheart ('mo chroi' in Irish Gaelic), and I often told her that and hoped she would somehow understand. And she did… She seemed to know with all her old, frail being, up to the last moment of her life, how much she was loved.
Saying a little prayer at her burial today and thanking G-d for providing a companionship of such a sweet little creature went a long way to bring closure. We laid her ashes to rest in the shade, between a rose bush and a tree frequented by squirrels and birds. May the shamrocks fall softly, Susie mo chroi, cuisle mo chroi!

Additionally, section 303 of the Social Security Protection Act of 2004 (SSPA), Public Law 108-203, directs the Commissioner to carry out a 5-year nationwide demonstration project that extends the fee withholding and direct payment procedures that apply to attorneys under titles II and XVI of the Act to non-attorney representatives who meet certain prerequisites. This demonstration project commenced on February 28, 2005. Therefore, SSA is now paying directly to attorneys and non-attorney participants in the direct payment demonstration project fees we approve for administrative services, and to attorneys fees Federal courts approve for services before the courts.
The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA), Public Law 104-134, mandates that each federal agency require persons "doing business with that agency" to provide the agency with his or her taxpayer identification number (TIN). 31 U.S.C. 7701. Under the DCIA, a person is considered to be doing business with an agency if the person is assessed a fee by the agency. Because SSA is required by sections 206(d) and 1631(d)(2)(C) of the Act to assess a fee on attorneys and eligible non-attorneys each time that SSA directly pays representational fees to them, SSA is doing business with representatives whom we directly pay. The DCIA also requires that, when a federal agency disburses money, it must include the TIN on each certified voucher submitted to a disbursing official. For individuals, the TIN is generally the SSN. 26 U.S.C. 6109. This means that, when SSA certifies for direct payment or directly pays a fee to a representative, SSA must include the representative's SSN on the payment voucher it submits to the Department of the Treasury. Accordingly, to comply with the DCIA's requirement that we obtain an SSN from each representative to whom we directly pay a fee and provide that SSN on each payment voucher to the Department of the Treasury, when a claimant has appointed a representative on January 1, 2007 or later, or when a Federal court has approved a fee on January 1, 2007 or later, SSA requires that the representative provide his or her SSN to SSA before SSA implements a favorable administrative determination or decision or before SSA acts on a Federal court's fee approval, as a condition for SSA to directly pay a fee or a portion of the fee to the representative from a claimant's past-due benefits.
Pursuant to sections 6041(a) and 6045(f) of the IRC, as implemented by 26 CFR 1.6041-1, SSA is required to issue a Form 1099-MISC to each representative who receives, by direct payment from SSA, aggregate fees of $600 or more in a calendar year. Per section 6109 of the IRC, each representative must provide SSA with his or her TIN. Generally, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-9 is used to obtain the TIN. However, as allowed by the IRS, SSA is developing a substitute form, Form SSA-1699, Request for Appointed Representative's Start Printed Page 58044Direct Payment Information, to obtain the representative's SSN and other information we need to issue Forms 1099-MISC. We published a Federal Register notice of our intent to establish both the SSA-1699 and the SSA-1695, which is discussed below. See 71 FR 38681-38683, July 7, 2006.
The one-time submission of the SSA-1699 is the first step in a two-step registration process that a representative must complete in order to receive direct fee payment in a specific claim. We are providing an electronic means by which representatives may complete and submit the SSA-1699 via our Internet Web site. The second step requires that a representative provide SSA with his or her SSN in each instance of representation (i.e., each time the representative is appointed to represent a claimant before SSA or, if an attorney did not register when the claim was pending before the Commissioner, each time a Federal court approves a fee) by submitting the Form SSA-1695, Identifying Information for Possible Direct Payment of Authorized Fees. The first step in the registration process, the one-time submission of the SSA-1699, begins with publication of this notice. The second step, submission of the SSA-1695, will begin in November of 2006. We will provide further information about the required forms, and the application developed to enable completion and submission of the SSA-1699 electronically via the Internet, on the Representing Claimants Web site on Social Security Online (http://www.socialsecurity.gov/representation).
If a representative does not provide SSA with his or her SSN by completing both steps in the registration process as described above, SSA will not make direct fee payment to the representative, even if the representative is an attorney or a participant in the non-attorney direct payment demonstration project.

1. To make money:
This one seems to be the main reason for the creation of music videos. The music video is basically a promotion for the song, the artist and the album, because all three are represented in the video. Creating a music video increases the target audience's chance of hearing the song, and so increases the chance of the target audience buying the song. This means that the company makes more profit, which is of vital importance to the record company.
2. To give a deeper meaning to the song:
A music video can help to give a deeper meaning to the song, especially if they have confusing lyrics. Conceptual videos usually do this the most. Symbols shown in the video can reflect and complement the lyrics, which can help the audience to understand the message of the song. If someone doesn't understand a song, they might not like it; having a music video give it more meaning or to help the audience understand it may actually sway a person's opinion on it.
3. To entertain:
This is the purpose of nearly all media. The audience watches music videos, films, TV etc. to be entertained. They want to escape for a little while in the reality of whatever they are watching. However, it would be quite naive to assume that this is the main reason for the creation of music videos. There are artists who make music just for the love of it; however, it is also a job, and therefore they need to make money.
I'm very cynical and can link all three to making money, so I am going to say the main reason behind the creation of music videos is money and profit. The music industry is a business like any other and it needs to make a profit to continue. A music video is just a medium to advertise a product.

A day that falls apart and comes together again. I fell asleep before I heard the news. Heard the phone clunking over and over in the night. Then I knew why the twitterverse was mad tweeting. Osama Bin Laden dead.
Dealing with that and a busted molar crown and remembering I have to move the car and just when its almost over with moving time the street cleaner comes and I lose my spot and then I get trapped behind a garbage truck and any chance of finding a spot is lost. Imus strangely reserved. The ABC guys who come later gloat. What a weird convergence with Holocaust Remembrance Day.
I need to head to the dental clinic but we have to get ready for the Three Graces Theatre Company. I'm buying toilet seats, one junior, one regular, hand cleanser dispenser, toilet paper, paper towels. Arcadia looking for the good deals. Danielle has made chocolate chip muffins. Wish I could eat. Arcadia brought bagels. Steven has arrived and has gone to work on the toilet seats. Outside Warner Brothers and the crew for Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close is setting up for their shoot, spilling over onto our steps. We sign our contract with them.
Over bagels and muffins, speculation. Arcadia reports Hugo has all kinds of serious questions. Suspicions. Obama's faltering Presidency. Full Islamic burial at sea?! Questions. And underneath it all, memories. Feelings. Like I always say, more than one thing true at a time.
I can't rejoice at a death. Though I understand the need for catharsis. For years, Kate gathered folks on our steps to ring bells every time the death penalty was carried out anywhere in the US. Arthur and other homeless guys joined us. We rang against execution.
So how could I celebrate Osama's execution? The feelings of that day, the tension, the hyper reality, sunshine, the waiting. Our night at Ground Zero. The faces of workers in that night long procession passing through our food lines. The angry debates at Union Square. The ubiquitous pictures of missing people. The signs, our grief is not a call for revenge...Waiting for the next shoe to drop. Feeling connected to every other city that had ever experienced what we had avoided up until now. (Well, except for the South.) The exhaustion and exhiliration of time outside of time.
Osama bin Laden as icon, totem, symbol. What do we do now that he is dead? Ends nothing, except his life. Resolves nothing. The 9-11 deaths amazingly few in comparison to the deaths of civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq. At our hands. Our creation of Osama in the waning days of the Cold War. No struggle here ended. Osama increasingly a footnote to history as people throughout the Middle East rise up to claim their own destiny. With their own hands. Don't need us, thank you very much. No families brought to closure, loved ones still dead. The late Stalin era sound (and being) of homeland security. And yet I understand what brought people to celebrate in Times Square, at Ground Zero.It began with us, let it end with us. Not football. Not reality TV show. No greatness in finding him after almost ten years. Osama is dead.
Can't be seen at the clinic until 6. Back at the church, Tom has come over to check in. The stage manager has arrived. We're holding our breath. He's very happy. He gets McAlpin ready for rehearsal. Somewhere in this day, someone stole Danielle's wallet and camera. From her bag. Sorry that is still our reality. I'm heading back to the clinic. And Osama bin Laden is still dead.

Awe crap, woke up at 5 am, checked the flows on the Yuba, they dropped again another 200 cfs. My first thought was that SUCKS. So now what? What is the new game plan, do I fish the same way I did yesterday? What runs do I fish differently? Man I need some coffee! Now that's better. I tied up some more rubber legs and red copper johns, all though I only had enough brown chenille for three rubber legs, so I then tied up some rubber legs using variegated brown and green chenille. Good call the fish were all over them.
I met my clients Bruce and Jason for a half day trip at 10:30. Bruce has been a great client over the years, he all ways brings some one new. Jason is pretty green to fly fishing, so I spent a lot of time teaching Jason. Unfortunately Jason did not catch any fish but he learned a bunch. We fished nymphs all day. Bruce hooked up on nine fish, Jason had a couple of nice fish come up to some dries, but pulled the fly away both times. It was a great day the flows did not seem to affect the fishing to much. All though we caught smaller fish or just landed the smaller ones.

Many times I am asked how I can sell some of the things that we do.....well....I WANT TO EAT!...LOL!! I must admit every once in awhile we find something that tugs at my heart and I have a hard time giving it up...just happened this week. We had two wonderful olde cast iron and wood stools....most likely from an ice cream parlor or tavern. They fastened to the floor with 4 screws.... the seat even spun around..Most likely late 1800's or very early 1900.. I loved them and what great plant stands they would have made. The seat was small..only the size of a dinner plate. I wish I had gotten a picture...oh well....they both found great homes so I should just let it go. Maybe tomorrow Tony will get something more special and my "longing" will be gone. I will tell you that I CAN keep anything I want ( I am married to Mr. Nice Guy) and many times I do !!! (big smile) !!!
On a happier note...it was good to be busy the past two days....as business has been "iffy" these past two weeks ! So I should just stop whining and put that smile back on my face....!!!

Improve Your Health And Life Through Greater FitnessYour body should never be taken for granted. The more you take care of it, the better and longer it will work right for you. Recommended Online site out 3 to 5 times a week, for about 60 minutes. This will keep you energized throughout the day, and help you keep in good physical shape.
When doing crunches, be careful not to strain your neck. If how to boost collagen x stain put your tongue to the roof of your mouth while doing them, this can actually help to properly align your head and neck. Experts disagree on whether this helps on a physical or physiological level. Either way, it does seem to lessen neck strain.
Exercising increases the oxygen to the brain. Studies have proven that incorporating an exercise program to your daily routine will decrease the chance of getting dementia in up to 60% in older adults. Exercising releases proteins that strengthens the brain's neurons and cells which is directly related to memory and learning.
Make sure you make every effort to do as much exercise as you can throughout the day. It can be something like choosing to ride your bicycle to work instead of driving if you live close enough. You can also try to park a couple blocks away from work or the store to give you more walking time throughout the day, every little effort helps.
3 Ways to Lose Weight Without Starving and Working Out
How we'd all love the excess inches on our waist to go away all by themselves... Breathing The main rule of breathing gymnastics is that you should breathe in and out not with your chest but with your stomach. A thin waist, ripped abs, strong abdominal muscles — everything's possible if you do the whole set of breathing exercises. 3 Ways to Lose Weight Without Starving and Working Out
You can intensify your workouts and make them more effective by practicing controlled breathing. When you are doing abdominal exercises, exhale forcefully once your shoulders are as high as they go. Deep exhaling contractions cause your abs to work harder.
If you are embarking on a new fitness regimen, then a good pair of shoes should top the list of necessary equipment. Your shoes provide a foundation for your workout. They cushion and support your foot and help you get the most out of whichever exercise you choose to do.
The intensity an individual puts into their own exercise activities will determine how effective they are at increasing fitness. The more one pushes their body during exercise the more it will grow. One needs to give a hundred percent to truly test themselves and challenge their bodies limits, expanding them at the same time.
If your workout program includes separate exercises for individual body and muscle groups, try this trick: After completing each set, take anywhere from twenty seconds to half a minute to stretch and flex the muscle you just targeted. Doing so may actually increase the strength of the muscle as much as 20 percent!
By changing what you think about, in terms of how to accomplish this exercise, during chin-ups, you can actually make them seem much easier to do. Generally, you would think about how you need to lift yourself up over the bar. Instead of doing that, try thinking about trying to pull your elbows downward.
Do not regularly use a weight training belt when lifting weights. With continued, regular use, wearing a weight belt will hinder muscle growth and weaken your lower back and abdominal muscles. Only wear your weight training belt when attempting max lifts such as deadlifts, squats, and overhead presses.
Everyone wants to run further and further each time they get on the treadmill or go for a run. Some people extend their legs so they get less of a strain. If you want a better workout, you should increase the speed of your steps and not your stride.
When exercising frequently, it is important to give the body breaks to rebuild the damaged muscles. If not, the body will not have time to grow. If one wants to take breaks while still being able to exercise, it can be done by alternating the muscle groups that one exercises. This will allow for the best of both worlds.
If you are one of the many people who sit at a desk all day, using a recumbent or regular bike for your workout may not be your best bet. Instead, try http://blogs.rediff.com/sharen154una/2017/03/20/altering-your-unhealthy-ways-is-not-as-difficult-as-you-believe/ like running or soccer that gets you into an upright position and stretches out your muscles. Working out in a different position than you are accustomed to prevents the aches and pains that result from being in the same position all day.
As stated before, being fit is not as difficult to achieve as many people perceive it to be. Using the proper fitness techniques, like the ones found in the article above, anyone with no previous fitness experience can become fit and healthy and start seeing results in no time at all.

A minimum wage is not only a prerequisite for social justice but also a means of spurring economic growth, according to a new UNCTAD report, writes Nesma Nowar
Over the past decade, the global economy has been changing in ways that have prompted individual countries, whether developed or developing, to change their economic priorities and policies.
With the global economy slowing down after the financial crisis of 2008, it has also become obvious that economies overly dependent on exports to support growth need to reconsider their strategies.
Developing countries and economies in transition need to move towards more balanced growth and to give a greater role to domestic demand in order to push their economic growth, rather than simply adopting export-oriented strategies.
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's (UNCTAD) Trade and Development Report 2013, entitled "Adjusting to the Changing Dynamics of the World Economy" and released last week, reflects such new priorities.
The report cautions that a prolonged period of slow growth in developed countries will mean continued sluggish growth in their imports, something that should urge policy-makers elsewhere to reconsider development strategies overly dependent on exports.
Instead, the report says, development strategies should place a greater emphasis on encouraging local demand by pushing up wages.
"In order to encourage domestic demand, this requires increasing the purchasing power of low and middle-income families who spend larger shares of their incomes on consumption," said Mahmoud Al-Khafif, an UNCTAD representative, in a press conference launching the report last week in Cairo.
"This in turn would require setting a minimum wage and enacting progressive tax policies in a bid to integrate such income groups into the production process," he added.
The report argues that prior to the financial crisis in 2008, buoyant consumer demand in some developed countries enabled the rapid growth of manufactured exports from industrialising and developing countries, which in turn provided opportunities for primary commodity exports from other developing countries.
This boom seemed to vindicate the idea of developing and transitional economies adopting an export-oriented growth model. However, such a model is no longer viable in the current context of slow growth in the developed economies, the report warns.
To address the prospect of a prolonged period of considerably slower export growth, policy-makers need to give greater weight to domestic demand, it says.
Gouda Abdel-Khalek, a professor of economics at Cairo University and a former Egyptian minister of supply and domestic trade, said that the report showed that the future outlook for exports was not promising, meaning that Egypt should reconsider its export-support programme and export destinations in the light of the current economic slowdown in Europe, Egypt's largest trading partner.
Egypt allocated LE4 billion in the 2013/2014 budget to supporting export-oriented industries. This allocation, almost the same level as that of the previous year, has stirred a lot of reservations as it has been directed towards a few well-established exporters rather than to small manufacturers.
Abdel-Khalek echoed the UNCTAD view by saying that it was important to spur domestic consumption by setting fair wages, "which emphasises the importance of the social dimension for a healthy transitional period in Egypt." He added that a large chunk of the government's stimulus plan should be directed towards revisiting minimum wages.
The government is considering raising the minimum wage from its current level of LE700 to a new level ranging from between LE800 to LE1,000 a month.
The report also argues that in attempting to spur productive investment, developing countries and economies in transition should adopt a cautious and selective approach towards foreign capital flows, which may be needed for financing imports of inputs and capital goods, but have a tendency to create macroeconomic instability, currency appreciation, and recurrent boom-and-bust financial episodes.
It says that a large proportion of foreign capital inflows can be used simply to finance consumption or speculative financial investments that can give rise to asset price bubbles, lead to currency appreciation, and make domestic financial systems more fragile.
The subsequent drying up or reversal of inflows exerts pressure on countries' balance of payments and on public and private-sector financing. "It's time for Egypt to impose regulations on foreign capital flows because some are beneficial while others are harmful," Abdel-Khalek commented.
The report says that what matters for developing countries is not simply access to external financing, but also control over how that financing is used. It calls on developing countries to rely increasingly on domestic sources of finance, the most important of which are profits and bank credits.
Economic policies should aim at encouraging the domestic investment of profits and at influencing the behaviour of the banking system so that it more consistently allocates credit to productive economic activities that will lead to job creation, sustained economic growth, and less vulnerability to global economic shifts.
In order to achieve a healthy economy, better regulation of the financial system is needed, the report says, adding that this requires aiming at both monetary and financial stability and at orienting the financial sector towards serving the real economy through restructuring the financial system, especially banking.
Such restructuring could include a larger and more active role for central banks, development banks, and specialised credit institutions.
"Monetary policy should play an active role in development policies, and it's high time that the Central Bank of Egypt began to play a development role," Al-Khafif noted.
The UNCTAD report says that central banks should enlarge their mandates and play a much more engaged role in stimulating investment through credit policy.
"Central banks should support maturity transformation in the banking system and encourage, or oblige, banks to provide more lending for the financing of productive investment," the report says.

Sometimes, just sometimes, I think it's pretty easy being a guy. You know, keeping it all cool, no intense feelings or emotions, not taking much crap or caution. I mean they can walk through fire and rain, and still come out with the same expression on their faces, and with nothing much to say.
A girl on the other hand, lets just say we are quite a handful. I constantly find the need to think too much about something, read too much into everything and go around worrying nonstop about nothing. But I can't help it, I'm a girl.
Boys let it go and block away the archives they wanna take less care of. And they do it with so much ease. It's like pie, or falling off a log; Easy. And sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I would say the same to us girls. I think we hold on too long, we carry around too much and we never know when to let go. It's harder to get over things, to walk away, to trust, to believe, to not worry, to not think, to leave it at that. We don't know how to have faith in something and stay that way. We find it hard to believe and keep it that way. We constantly need reassurance and a reminder of what is. Sometimes it's even hard for us to see what is. We can't help it, that's what makes us girls.
Don't I just hate it when I start becoming almost paranoid and start to read too much into everything. Just because of one thing, one issue. It could be a thought, it could be what somebody said, it could be a place, it could be a guy. Don't I loath the moment when I can't control my every move, thoughts or emotions. Don't you just abhor the thought of trying too much to prove so little? It's like a sixth sense of some sort, it's like we cant help it. I guess it's because we are girls.
You wonder why we are moody? You wonder why we talk too much? (oh this one I like!). You wonder why we see a lot into things? You wonder why we got killer instincts? Why we take forever to decide? Why we don't stick to it even after we do? Why we don't know what we want, at the same time want exactly what we want? Why we sometimes ask for too much? Why we sometimes take things too seriously? Why we fall off too easily..Why we fall in so blindly..Why we care too much..Why we just want to be..There's only one good answer to all this; we are girls. It's in our DNA.
We don't know how to act like we don't care. We don't have the power to stop what we can hardly bare. We constantly do what we do, because it's what we find ourselves doing. Whether it's fair or not fair, whether it's conventional or irrational. We can be clumsy, we can be dumb sometimes, we can be lied to easily, we can be hard on others unintentionally. We are indecisive, we can be possessive, and we definitely can be incitive. Just don't take it personally, we are just girls.
So maybe sometimes, just sometimes, it sucks being a girl. But it is what it is.
P.s: It's completely normal and definitely legal

Climax's CEO Karl Jeffrey and head of production Simon Gardner have been talking to Develop about the decision to drastically downsize their studio.
"After we sold Climax Racing in 2006, we had a whole new philosophy," revealed Jeffrey. "You know the old multi-studio British developer model where everything is heavy iron and scale is all-important? Well, we'd come to the realisation that scale is meaningless without quality, and we'd prefer to make a smaller number of very good games."
