The Dementia Support Service provides face-to-face support to people living with dementia and their carers through the provision of information, counselling and support delivered at the local level.
The role of the service is to provide information and support for individuals or groups, to help them to access the range of relevant services and resources currently available in the community.
One-on-one support for the person with dementia and his or her carer may include providing skills to assist with:
- Finding which community services and resources are available.
- Providing information and greater understanding about dementia, which will assist the carer in undertaking the day-to-day role of caring for a person living with dementia.
- Finding solutions for coping with the behaviour that may occur.
- Directly referring to specialist services if required.
The key outcome of the Dementia Support Service is to help people with dementia to live independently at home with improved quality of life, and to reduce the risk of premature admission to long term residential care.
The Service works together with Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) funded service providers to build a sustainable network of dementia specific expertise to meet the needs of people with dementia, their carers and significant others.
The Dementia Advisory Service supports CHSP service providers across Queensland to further develop their skills in dementia care.
The Service supports the development of knowledge and skills of both paid and volunteer workers who provide CHSP funded services for eligible people.
Support for the service provider may include providing skills to
assist with:
- Access to information, education and training services to build on the skill and knowledge of existing service providers.
- Access to assistance with assessment and client care coordination in collaboration with the primary service provider.
- Establishing referral pathways and linkages with general practitioners, acute services, community based services and specialist services.
- Access to other resources, e.g. websites.
- Building the ability of the care workers to problem-solve and understand behaviours associated with dementia.

Online Trading Academy graduates know that their trading decisions should be based on price action and volume. Technical indicators are very popular in the trading community but need to be used only as an odds enhancers. It is important to remember that an odds enhancer is used to increase the probability of a trade working out, not to signal the entrance to a trade itself. You should still execute trades based on price analysis and supply and demand levels. Whenever I start to discuss technical indicators, everyone always asks me what my favorite one is. I never get bored from watching the disappointment on their faces when I answer, "Price!"
The truth is, all indicators are built on past price and relationships to that price with volume included on some. If you understand the mechanics of the indicator, then you know how it is likely to read Price movement and when the indicator will give signals by simply reading price on a chart. When you can do this, then you will be ahead of those who are relying on an indicator to render a buy or sell signal prior to acting. Indicators can be helpful when used properly. Since the buy or sell signals usually appear late, we must observe the behavior of the indicator and take our signals from changes in that behavior.
Enter divergence. Divergence is when the indicator is not exhibiting the same characteristics as the price of the security. When prices rise, you should be seeing higher highs and higher lows for the uptrend in price. You should also be seeing higher highs being made in the indicators. The opposite is true when in a downtrend, lower lows in price and the indicator. There are two types of divergence, positive and negative. Positive divergence typically signals the pause or end of a downtrend. In positive divergence, the price of the security makes lower lows and lower highs, a downtrend. However, the indicator makes the same lows or possibly higher lows.
The divergence of the indicator shows that even though prices are continuing in the trend, they are doing so with less momentum and are unlikely to continue without a pause, correction or even a reversal. This is shown in the following chart with positive divergence in the Stochastics.
Negative divergence typically signals the end, pause or correction of an uptrend. It occurs when prices are making higher highs and higher lows (an uptrend), but the indicator makes similar or lower highs. This lack of momentum being demonstrated by price and reflected in the indicator is a signal of weakness of the trend. Be watchful for reversal signals in this environment.
A trader can use technical indicators, but you want to be sure to use them properly. Relying on them to signal your entry or exit to trades could lead to disaster. Looking for divergence to confirm your trade that was based on price action is the best way. Learn how to read price correctly by joining one of our courses today.

FTheory: Black Holes and Mergers in Theories Beyond General Relativity
Main Content
In order to test general relativity in the dynamical strong-field regime, we would like to have predictions of gravitational waves from black hole mergers in beyond-GR theories. This is complicated by the fact that most "corrections" lack a well-posed initial value formulation. Nonetheless by using the decoupling limit (motivated by the EFT paradigm) we have a well-posed system and thus can simulate black holes and binary mergers for certain theories. We focus on dynamical Chern-Simons gravity (dCS) though our methods are generic, and thus applicable to a broad class of theories. These are the first simulations of black hole binaries in dCS and indeed any beyond-GR theory (save for scalar-tensor theory).

Rory D'Arcy knows a thing or two about nurturing communities. He has served as the Principal of St. Oliver's National School in Killarney, Co. Kerry, for the past 14 years, and in that time, has seen its student population grow from 410 to over 780. With 45 nationalities, an integrated special needs unit, and over 60 pupils from the Traveller community, it is one of Ireland's most diverse primary schools, as well as one of the largest. True to its size and shape, St. Oliver's is a hub for the larger Killarney community, with extracurricular activities filling the halls and buildings of the school every day of the week. A leader in inclusive, empathic education, it was selected as one of the first schools in Ireland to join the Ashoka Changemaker Schools network in 2014.
Rory also serves on the Board of Trustees of Muckross House, a historical and educational landmark situated in Killarney National Park, which will host the Changemaker Education European Summit in October 2016. We sat down with Rory in July to learn more about the history of this important institution, as well as his philosophy for the future of education in Killarney, Ireland, and beyond.
The following interview has been edited for clarity and length.
Can you explain a bit about the history of Muckross House and the National Park that surrounds it?
The early history of the house is somewhat dark. The Herbert family, who came from Wales to mine copper in Killarney, built Muckross House in the 1840s during the height of the Irish famine. At the time it must have been so far removed from the devastation that was happening all over the country, particularly in Kerry.
Decades later, William Bowers Bourn II, a wealthy American mining magnate who owned the Empire goldmine in California, bought Muckross House and 10,000 acres of land as a wedding present for his daughter Maud, in 1910. She and her husband arrived at the estate and they found it in a deplorable state, having been uninhabited for 30 or 40 years. Maud set about restoring the cottages; she was very popular [and known for] her kindness. She contracted pneumonia and died, leaving her family heartbroken. Her father, William, was a friend of American President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had started the national parks movement in the United States. Bourn decided to gift the whole house and all of the estate to the Irish State for nothing, in 1932, in memory of Maud.
For 30 years, the State did nothing with Muckross House and it fell into disrepair. In 1962 a Board of Trustees came together and worked in partnership with the State to open it to the public. Currently, the estate of Muckross House, Gardens and Farms are run jointly by the State and by the Board of Trustees, of which I am a member. Today, there are several traditional businesses on the premises, such as the farms, woollen weavers, a bookbinder, a pottery shop and a library. The money that we raise is then reinvested back into Muckross and the Killarney National Park, which surrounds it.
Tell us a bit about how it links to the community of Killarney and the upcoming European Changemaker Schools Summit.
It's a very interesting year that the Changemaker Education Summit is coming to Muckross, because of the 100th anniversary of the [Easter Rising, a significant date in the celebration of Irish independence]. The people who led the Rising in general were involved in education on all levels. It's only right the conference will be looking at what we are doing well and what can we learn from each other in terms of education. The fact that Muckross House was never harmed during [the period of political unrest in Northern Ireland, known as 'the Troubles'] and it was never attacked speaks to the love that the people of Killarney have for the house.
Muckross can be used to not only enhance the educational lives of the children in Kerry but also on a broader European level. To have a summit like this come to us is really exciting because it fits in with the history. The last private owner, William Bourn, gave the estate away for nothing, because he wanted to see it used for the education of the people of Ireland. It is now being used to mould, shape and influence education across Europe, carrying on his legacy. There's an old tradition of great thinking in places of great beauty. The Greeks did it always. Beauty should be used as an inspiration.
Killarney is special because has this concentrated spirit of Irishness that it proudly wears, while also showing this international face and changing global dynamic. How does it balance its strong Irish identity with this international movement?
I think there are three interesting things about people from Killarney that make this work. There's a self confidence, a belief in their own abilities. That comes from producing a product of the highest standard in terms of tourism. The second thing is their practicality. During the 1930s in the last great recession, the people of Killarney built a golf club, a race course and a town hall. They have a can-do attitude. The third thing is they have a genuine interest in people. I think those three elements have made the integration of people from foreign backgrounds easier than it would be in some other rural towns. It would be hugely ironic if a town noted around the world for its welcome wasn't welcoming to the very people living in the town.
The people who come here come to work. In hotels or factories, there is a practical reason why they are there. The vast majority of people who come to my school, their parents are working [in and around Killarney's flourishing tourist industry.]
I'd love to hear a little bit about St. Oliver's and your experience working in the school. Can you give us a sense of how it fits within the larger community of Killarney?
Our school, St. Oliver's, is the largest of the 8 national schools in Killarney. We have 783 pupils, 54 teachers and 20 classroom assistants. The school is a mixed Catholic school, with children who come to us at the age of 4 or 5, staying with us up until the age of 12 or 13. We also have a community preschool with a further 66 children, so it's a very busy place.
Our aim is to ensure each child who leaves us is different: each of the pupils we produce is special in their own way. One of my jobs is to make sure that happens. The children experience different forms of teaching, types of teachers with different interests, as they travel up through the school. We also have the largest concentration of children with special needs in the country, with 11 resource teachers employed in school.
People would say there are all types different nationalities represented at the school, but that is something we are quite proud of. I have always put forth the idea that if you come to our school, your child's friends won't all be named Sean and Mary, they will be Sari and Ahmed. People associate that with our school and we're very proud of that. Last year we received a yellow flag for celebrating cultural diversity. We have all sorts of initiatives: music, art and drama days, intercultural days. Everyday when you open the newspaper, it becomes abundantly clear this is the way we should be educating our children.
St. Olivers has a large fish tank in the middle of the school with a different fish for every nationality represented in the school. The students did a gorgeous presentation where they had signs of every language spoken by students in the school. They were sharing stories and doing skits. It really came alive and you can see the changing demographics of Ireland.
There is a progressive agenda that likes to tout the "new face of Ireland" image, and we fit quite neatly into that. But I find that attitude almost prejudicial, because it reduces this rich diversity to a few token nationalities. The children don't really care that there are 45 nationalities at the school. To them it's as irrelevant as the color of your hair. Our attitude towards this has evolved. Children are moving ahead of us and we need to follow them in that league. My thinking is moving on in terms of how we perceive and define ourselves.
A teacher who had been teaching in the school for quite a long time came to me after there was a tragedy that had recently happened somewhere in the world. The teacher went in that morning asking the children to pray and three of them went over to the corner and knelt down at the window. Nobody said anything or even batted an eyelid. The teacher came to me and said, "Are we not a Catholic school? Is this allowed?" I said not only is this allowed, this is exactly what I want to see happen. Children's faith and ethnicity are there to be celebrated, not as a mark of difference. The children really don't see it.
Can you explain your practice of "educational bartering?"
Our school is open 7 days a week; [the buildings and rooms are occupied even when school isn't in session.] I use a bartering system because I'm more interested in people's services than their money. Everything from gymnastic coaches, CoderDojo, occupational therapists—no one gives me money for the use of the school. They give their services. The whole idea of educational barter is a very interesting one because you can get a lot more.
I feel that schools should not just be professionally based, with just children and teachers. We should think of the school as a campus, geographically based. I would like to see occupational therapists and speech therapists on site, community welfare officers, school completion programmes, all based around the school community. In developing such a campus, people get to know each other. A lot of problems can be solved by making connections with people.
Can you tell us about some of the other inclusive practices that you promote within your school?
In relation to people seeking asylum, the Direct Provision model where we have people waiting for their applications to be processed for a length of time is always something I felt very strongly about. We've had people in the system there for up to 10 years waiting for their application to be processed. We've always tried to find ways we could support people in that provision as a school community.
Recently I was struck by the power of food. One of our intercultural days some years ago, people prepared food and I watched the way people interacted around food. They were more relaxed, happy, easy. I'm working with KASI, the Kerry Asylum Seekers Initiative, and we opened a restaurant staffed by volunteers and members of the community who are seeking asylum. The restaurant feeds 75 people a day, at 4 Euro for a meal. The menus are fantastic and it gives people an opportunity to meet the children, to be part of the school community.
At the summit, there will be lots of space for sharing ideas with other Changemaker Principals. This fits into a larger European conversation about how to integrate asylum seekers and refugees. That often comes up in conversations with Changemaker Schools Principals. They are dynamic thinkers who are never just satisfied with an innovative curriculum. They think beyond that to what the school could become.
Exactly. At the moment, in this country we are fascinated by business models being applied to schools, but the truth is that businesses could learn a lot from schools. It should be a symbiotic relationship where we learn from one another. It's important to see the big picture and not be pigeonholed. I shouldn't see myself as the principal of a school and just that.
I am also very conscious of the wonderful work of our teachers in welcoming children and helping each child celebrate their unique talents, heritage and potential. I do believe there is a need for more Renaissance thinking among educators. I come from a generation where everybody is a something: "If you're a teacher you teach, if you're an artist, you're an artist - but don't confuse the two." People are put in a box. By contrast, people like Ashoka Fellows are really Renaissance thinkers. They look at applying their skills to whatever area has a need.

A year ago this time, the board at Sweet Briar College was secretly planning to shut down the school, convinced the women's college could not survive in today's world.
Now, here's the new president at Sweet Briar, touring the country, and soon the world, telling a remarkable story about why the school is not just surviving, but perhaps even flourishing.
The saga of how Sweet Briar alumnae rallied to save their school — raising $30 million in 100 days and, just as importantly, waging a legal fight that resulted in a dramatic victory in the Virginia Supreme Court — has been told before.
Sweet Briar President Phil Stone went before the Salem Rotary last week to tell the rest of the story.
Even after the legal settlement last June that resulted in an agreement that the old board would quit and a new board, picked by the Saving Sweet Briar alumnae group, would take over, the outgoing regime did not go gently.
The previous administration was reluctant to share information, for one thing, so even though it was clear Stone would be the new president, he had little to go on as he prepared to take office.
When he arrived on campus on the evening of July 2, he discovered the outgoing regime had fired almost everyone. The old board had insisted the school would close on June 30, so, by golly, even though a settlement had been reached, the school still sent out an e-mail notifying all but a few people that their employment ended that date and cleared out their computer passwords.
Stone — who had spent 16 years as president of Bridgewater College before retiring to practice law with his children — is a courtly man, perhaps the living embodiment of a Virginia gentleman.
He was, perhaps, not feeling so gentlemanly when he learned what the outgoing administrators had done. "It was absolutely gratuitous," he told the Salem Rotary. "Absolutely unnecessary. I could not believe people would be treated that way."
One of his first duties was to re-hire faculty and staff. That was one of the easier tasks — although at one point he was writing up contracts himself because there was no one else to do it. Stone took office on July 4th weekend. On the first business day following the holiday, he had a lot of phone calls to make.
To the accrediting agency. How much money did the school have?, the agency asked. Stone had no idea — there was no staff there to tell him, and no records available.
To the commissioner of the Salem-based Old Dominion Athletic Conference, where the conversation went something like this:
We're still in the ODAC, right?
Sure. How many teams will you have?
I don't know.
How many players do you have?
I don't know.
If it seems a miracle the school got saved, it seems an equal miracle that it re-opened on time — with all its programs, and its sports teams, intact.
Since then, there have been more such miracles — or maybe they're not miracles, at all.
Sweet Briar's enrollment had been declining, one of the things that led the old board to call it quits. Now enrollment is increasing. Most schools see enrollment drop from fall semester to spring semester — some students always drop out. Sweet Briar, though, has seen an increase — with 31 students transferring in, 20 of them former students who had gone elsewhere for the fall but now want to return "home."
Even better, the school just logged a record number of applications (more than 1,300), thanks to an energetic alumnae recruiting effort, and something the school curiously didn't have before — a full-time admissions director who doesn't have to do that job and another one at the same time.
Sweet Briar won't know what the yield on those applications will be until the spring. There's always the danger the number is a mirage — it's easy these days for students to click a button on the "common app" and apply to multiple colleges at once. Still, Stone points out, it's better to have a record number of applications than to not have a record number.
Later this month, Stone leaves on a recruiting trip to China — in an effort to boost the school's international enrollment. At Hollins University, nearly 6 percent of the students are international. At Randolph College, the figure is 10 percent. At Mount Holyoke, it's 24 percent.
At Sweet Briar right now, it's one. Not percent. One student — a Chinese woman who originally found the college on her own, through an Internet search. She's helped make a recruiting video that will be shown to prospective students in China.
During question time at the Salem Rotary, Stone was asked what happened to Sweet Briar. His theory is the old board simply gave up. He had been on accrediting teams that had looked at the school's finances in the recent past — and never found a hint of trouble.
He pointed out that on the day Sweet Briar "closed," its $72 million endowment was still bigger than many colleges its size — though the board had been unwisely spending it down at a rate of up to 9 percent a year because expenses were simply too high. Stone has worked on cutting costs.
Now, here's the most amazing thing of all. Under his tenure, Sweet Briar hasn't spent any of its endowment. None. Not the $16 million in restricted funds that Attorney General Mark Herring released as part of the settlement, and not any of the unrestricted portion of the endowment. "I'm telling you those are miracles," Stone says.
And, he says, all bills have been paid on time. It's becoming even clearer now: Sweet Briar was only in trouble because its old board stopped trying. Stone may have been easing into semi-retirement last year this time, now he's working full-time and more in a way that the previous regime clearly had not.
In one of those first chaotic days at Sweet Briar, a graduate from Charlottesville sent him a necktie — pink-and-green, the school's colors. He now owns twelve of them, and is never seen in public without one. At his Salem appearance, maybe a half dozen alumnae showed up — all in their pink-and-green. After his talk, they queued up to shake his hand, give him a hug, and their thanks.
Nobody pressed a check into his hand, but one Salem businessman did take him aside to talk about a possible internship program at his engineering firm. For a school that likes to talk up its engineering program — Sweet Briar is one of just two women's colleges to offer an engineering degree — that's just as good as money in the bank.

Residency Rejection
Peter Slapnicher
I'm getting a little concerned that I might not line up a residency for the next year, and I really think they help me focus and get work done. Ucross has rejected me. Perhaps, if this is the case, I will drive to a different city and squat in an abandoned building for a couple weeks next fall. Basically the same thing, right?

Paul Edward Hope and Josh Thelin in Cymbeline
Photo by: Marcus Geldud
Reviewed by Cindy Pierre
Folding Chair Classical Theatre's production of Cymbeline is a wonderful romp into British history and a razzle-dazzle display of acting talent. It follows the story of Posthumus Leonatus (Paul Edward Hope), a man with questionable pedigree, and his troubled, secret marriage to Imogen (Lisa Blankenship), King Cymbeline's (Gowan Campbell) daughter. It's been called both a tragedy and a romance, but in the hands of the cast, it's nothing short of an incredible feat in skill and entertainment. A six-person ensemble plays 25 roles, with nothing but acting chops and limited costumes to distinguish one from the other. Like Folding Chair's previous productions, Cymbeline is boldly performed in plain clothes and simple props, leaving the focus on the words, the performance, and Marcus Geduld's spearheading direction, which turns the text into a passionate animal.
Newcomer Josh Thelin, who plays four roles, stands out in the company. His Cloten is wildly emotive, a geyser of passion, hubris, and tomfoolery. One particularly vivid scene has him prancing around in leopard-skin undies as he commands a flamboyant servant (Hope) to give him a hilariously conceived butt massage.
Thelin may stand out, but almost everyone in the cast is a triumph, even when their voices dip beneath the hum of the air conditioner. Only Karen Ogle's Queen needs some help, for she plays the part in the same manner that she plays Cadwal, Cymbeline's long-lost son. The tiara she wears isn't enough to make her regal: whereas the rest of the cast do well without full costume, a stiff one with boning could have helped to improve Ogle's posture and movement.
The music, which fits the swelling and contracting of the circumstances, could've used some stiffening too: it is too grand for the show's aesthetics. Then again, from Hope's great fight choreography to the acting and the directing, everything is grand. Fresh, gutsy, and exciting, Cymbeline is, like Our Country's Good earlier this year, another jewel in Folding Chair's crown.

Recently I have come to appreciate that a pattern I'll call "dual channeling" is emerging as a way to address a wide set of scenarios involving large files and workflows with file processing. The Dual Channeling pattern is a variation of the well known enterprise integration pattern "Claim Check". Recently we helped a customer architect and implement a Dual Channel solution.
Businesses in domains like media/digital media, telco, printing and financial services often require large documents/files to be processed to complete a specific business function. The large file is passed through a series of steps (a workflow). The workflow adjusts to specific document types, clients or jobs. Moving the file in entirety through the workflow steps (which can be many) generally proves to be an inefficient way to manage the workflow. It creates a lot of traffic in the network and increases the time it takes to complete the workflow.
The Dual Channel solution avoids this constant shipping of data by introducing two channels, one to carry the actual file and another one to carry the metadata about the file. Many steps in the workflow can then take advantage of a light-weight message with the file metadata to make the decisions and route the workflow. Workflow activities/steps can still call processes that require file processing but in this case, instead of passing the actual file, messages can pass (as part of the metadata) a reference/pointer of the file to the process.
To start off the dual-channel pattern, file pre-processing extracts appropriate metadata and ensures clear file identification.
Of course, the Dual Channel pattern can be implemented with the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The WSO2 ESB acts as a File Transfer Gateway and a Metadata Exchange in this scenario. WSO2 Business Process Server (BPS) can be used to implement the workflows using WS-BPEL. BPEL creation by process designers is simplified with the graphical editor supported by WSO2 Carbon Studio.
Business process might need to execute rules to fulfill the workflow activities – and in this case the WSO2 Business Rules Server (BRS) is an ideal solution – either as a separate instance or as a feature inside either the WSO2 ESB (where rules are applied to the metadata channel) or WSO2 BPS (where the rules are part of the workflow). Enterprise deployment requirements, high-availability and scalability can be achieved by deploying the WSO2 products in cluster mode using WSO2 Carbon Clustering.
With this pattern, large and complex file processing is more efficient and rapid than ever. As the scope and scale of data explodes in the enterprise, I'm sure more and more enterprise architects will give this pattern a prominent place in their architecture toolbox. I hope it proves useful in yours.

Dems brace for more 2010 fallout
House Democrats watched the election results come in from Massachusetts with a sense of impending doom for their agenda — and panic for their vulnerable freshmen.
"I feel sorry for them," Rep. Allen Boyd (D-Fla.) said of his most junior colleagues. "It's like they walked in and got hit upside the head with a big jackhammer."
Story Continued Below
Moderate Democrats have grown increasingly anxious over the past few months, watching nervously as Democratic incumbents in swing districts announced retirements, as one of their own switched parties, as Republicans scored some recruiting coups and as Democrats lost key gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey.
But nothing set the alarms bells ringing quite like Scott Brown's come-from-behind victory over Martha Coakley in Massachusetts — and with it the loss of not just Ted Kennedy's Senate seat but also their party's 60-vote supermajority in the upper chamber.
Kennedy's son, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-R.I.) said Democrats have to understand that they've entered a different era — and that they can't just assume that voters will be with them.
"It's like in Roman times, they'd be trotted out to the coliseum and the lions would be brought out," Kennedy said Tuesday night. "I mean, they're wanting blood and they're not getting it so they want to protest. And, you know, you can't blame them. But frankly, the fact is we inherited this mess, and it's becoming ours."
Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan said he hoped Tuesday night's election would be a "wake-up call" for his party.
"People weren't aware of the type of anxiety that was out there in 1994, but I think everyone is aware of it now," he said.
Top Democrats say they would not be surprised if, in the wake of Tuesday's special election, a few more of their members decide to retire rather than face tough reelection fights in the coming months.
"It's possible there could be a few more Democratic and a few Republican retirements," said Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, noting that he doesn't anticipate "any surge like we saw in 1994."
Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.) was keeping his options open Tuesday night, saying that he would not commit to running for reelection just yet.
"When I do make an announcement — and I never make them this early — no one is going to be surprised at what I have to say," he said. "It will be later."
Other candidates stressed how the campaigns they're running are different than Coakley's failed bid.
Rep. Paul Hodes, who is running for Senate in New Hampshire, noted that he's been campaigning aggressively on the ground and reaching out to independent voters — things Coakley stands accused of not doing — and he pointed to his recent pledge to stop requesting earmarks as evidence that he's committed to fiscal responsibility and changing the ways of Washington.

Evaluation body finds no world-standard private university in Sindh
Karachi: The Sindh government's Charter Inspection and Evaluation Committee (CIEC) on Thursday presented its third biennial report (2006-2008) to Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad, and informed him that it had rated nine private universities and degree-awarding institutions "five-star" and 12 "four-star".
None of the 21 private sector educational institutions inspected and evaluated by the CIEC could prove to be a world-class institution deserving the "seven-star" title, the highest ranking set by the CIEC.
The report was presented to the governor by CIEC Chairman Dr S. M. Qureshi, who called on Dr Ishratul Ibad, who is also the patron of the chartered universities and degree-awarding institutions in the private sector, along with vice-chancellors of major public sector universities in Sindh.
The report highlights the role and achievements of the CIEC during the period, besides observations and recommendations.
The report states that during 2006-2008, only a few deserving institutions of higher education in the private sector were recommended for grant of charter as per the guidelines of the Sindh government while all the already chartered institutions generally improved their overall performance and quality of education in accordance with the advice and recommendations of the CIEC.
These institutions are contributing significantly to the socio-economic development of the province in particular and the country in general, the report adds.
The governor appreciated that in the last six years (2002 to 2008) the number of students at undergraduate and post-graduate levels in these institutions had almost doubled, (the number stands at 43,485) whereas the number of PhD-qualified teachers had increased six times. The student-teacher ratio had also greatly improved, he noted. Dr Ibad observed that most of these institutions had access to the HEC Digital Library and the stock of books and journals in their own libraries had increased manifold. Moreover, classrooms and laboratories had generally improved with the latest equipment and increased in number. The built-up area of the institutions had more than doubled with improvement in other required physical facilities.
Dr Qureshi informed the governor that CIEC inspected 21 chartered institutions, evaluated their standards and allocated grades. He said that nine universities and degree-awarding institutions were rated "five-star" and 12 "four-star". The five-star institutions are Hamdard University, Iqra University, Mohammad Ali Jinnah University, Sir Syed University, Ziauddin University, Institute of Business Management, Indus Valley School of Design and Architecture, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology and the Textile Institute of Pakistan.
The institutions rated four-star are Baqai Medical University, Greenwich University, Isra University, Jinnah University for Women, Preston University, Dadabhoy Institute of Higher Education, Indus Institute of Higher Education, Institute of Business and Technology, Karachi Institute of Economics and Technology, Khadim Ali Shah Bukhari Institute of Technology, Newport Institute of Communication and Economics and the Preston Institute of Management, Sciences and Technology.
The governor was told that The University of East, which had started functioning recently, would be inspected and considered for rating in the next round. The CIEC sets a "two-star" rating for an institution that fulfils the minimum requirements for accreditation. A world-class/standard institution is rated "seven-star". The current evaluation of the institutions is based upon the cumulative assessment by CIEC members, experts, employers and the institutions themselves.
The evaluation/grading indicates that generally all the chartered institutions have now risen much above the minimum required threshold/level. All these institutions impart good quality education and excel in different disciplines.
Encouraging sponsors
The governor directed the CIEC chairman to ensure that genuine sponsoring NGOs are encouraged with possible incentives for the establishment of more high-standard private universities and degree-awarding institutions in the province. He said the existing institutions should be extended all possible financial and professional assistance for improving their performance and quality of education.
The CIEC chairman thanked the governor for the guidance and necessary support extended by him and also appreciated the support and assistance provided by the governor's secretariat and the provincial education and literacy department.
He expressed the hope that with increasing pace of development of the chartered institutions, the recommendations made in the CIEC report would help improve the access, quality and relevance of higher education in the private sector.
The governor also appreciated the efforts made by the CIEC chairman and his team in bringing about improvement in the overall performance of the private educational institutions and quality of education. He commended the cooperation extended by the HEC in this regard.
Adviser to the Governor Abdul Wahab Shaikh, Sindh University Vice-Chancellor Mazharul Haq Siddiqui, Karachi University Vice-Chancellor Dr Pirzada Qasim Raza Siddiqui, Sindh Agriculture University Vice-Chancellor Dr A.Q. Mughal, and Dow University of Health Sciences Vice-Chancellor Dr Masood Hameed Khan exchanged views with the governor.
Acting Secretary of the Education and Literacy Department Dr Riaz Memon, HEC representative Dr Viqaruddin and Special Secretary to the Governor for Higher Education Aftab Lodhi were also present. Dawn

USDA says more than 72,000 tons of ag commodities ($100-million value) will be allocated under USDA's McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program for fiscal year 2009 to assist children, women, and school communities in 15 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
"The McGovern-Dole program has touched the lives of millions of the world's children, providing nutritious meals so that they can focus on their studies, not their hunger," USDA Secretary Ed Schafer says.
The allocation will feed nearly 500,000 children in new programs in three developing countries in addition to recent allocations to more than 3 million children in 12 countries. The program helps support education, child development and food security in low-income, food-deficit countries committed to universal education. To date, the McGovern-Dole program has provided meals to more than 22 million children in 41 countries and boosted school attendance by an estimated 14% overall, and by 17% for girls.

Make your Website SEO friendly
Optimizing a website for any search engine requires having a solid strategy.
There are a lot of techniques that a website owner can use to have the best website that is ranked on the first page of the world's most popular search engines, like Google, Yahoo!, or Bing. Luckily the internet is flooded with information from basic to professional level on how to make your website SEO friendly.
SEO Techniques
SEO techniques or tools available for business to use are innumerable. The business just needs to find the one that will work for the businesses online presence. Not all information that is found on the internet is information that is true or beneficial for the company's future. The same goes for SEO techniques that are found on the internet or are practised by SEO agencies.
White Hat and Black Hat SEO
In general, there are usually two ways of doing something, the good way and the bad way. The same applies for SEO. There are two SEO terminologies used for the good way – the white hat SEO technique, and the bad way, black hat SEO technique.
White Hat SEO
White hat SEO plays by the book. It is prone to follow the rules and policies set out by search engines. A white hat technique or strategy centres itself around the audience and not the search engine. For instance, a website that may be considered to have used white hat techniques has relevant content on the website and focuses on organic ranking. Having keywords, backlinks, link building, are some of the key things that are focused on in improving a business's SEO. A white hat technique has a constructive result on the website and poses fewer risks.
Black Hat SEO
Notorious for making money and having short term benefits, a black hat SEO technique is riskier because it has the potential to compromise the businesses website. A black hat technique is basically the opposite of a white hat technique. With a black hat SEO technique, focus is shifted from the audience to search engines. Such a technique throws caution to the wind and disobeys rules set out by search engines.
A website that is or has used this technique is riddled with keyword stuffing, invisible text, adding keywords that aren't specific to the webpage or swapping a page after it has been ranked by a search engine. A website that uses the black hat technique isn't really interested in the long term functionality of the website on search engines. The risk of a black hat SEO technique being used is very high as it is possible for the website to be banned.
Every business that wants a good online presence will employ white hat techniques. SEO white hat techniques have a benefit of creating a good online reputation for the firm, in the long term. A white hat technique is calculated and well thought out. On the other hand, a black hat technique is reckless and can ultimately destroy the reputation of the business, in the long run. Website owners should check for themselves if the firm they hired to SEO their website is using the good way or the bad way.

These are the types of people that I get email from.
It was raining very hard today. Here, take a look:
I'm watching Deep Space 9. I've watched 3 episodes so far, and will likely watch 4 more before I go to sleep. Season 4 comes out tomorrow.
I was talking to Swac today at Max and Ermas, and told him that life has gotten boring… and it has. The routine no longer interests me.. it's really just keeping me busy. As it is now, there are really only 3 things keeping me going:
- Work: The new version of the Bible Gateway. I've been working on it for quite some time, and it's getting closer to becoming a reality. Am I excited about it? eh.. Kind of.. in that "please just be over and done with already so I can go back to sleep" kind of way. There's a lot of new things that we're trying out with this project, and so there's a decent amount of nervousness on my part… for all I know, it could just blow up in my face. Anyway, that being said, this is something I've been working on since the very beginning, and so I've got a vested interest in it not sucking. So it's fairly simple: I want it to be done, and I want it to not suck.
- TV/Movies: I love mass media.. and lately, I've been watching lot of TV late at night. DS9, Scrubs, Family Guy, Sportscenter. Yada Yada Yada. I enjoy watching TV/Movies more than sleep.
- Hope. I'm a dumbass.
I decided I needed a challenge, so I'm trying to learn to play November Rain on the guitar. Turns out, so far, it's hard.

Poll: Adding Lava & Obsidian Creations to my Website
Cindy Lou Who 2
I am slowly adding more items to my website shop, including some pieces made with real lava & snowflake obsidian, both products of volcanic activity. To me, that seems like a geology geek thing, so my inclination is to put them all in the Science Geek Gifts section, but they would also be a good fit for Natural & Raw Stones. What do you think?
You can respond in the comments, or take my poll on Twitter or Google Plus. Thanks!

Niners offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye speaks with the media every Thursday. Today, he let it be known exactly where he stands as it pertains to the question about the 49ers' quarterback of the future.
Raye has been very impressed with Alex Smith's play in the 4 ½ games in which he has been the starter. "The quarterback play has been very good and at times it has even titled toward being outstanding," Raye said.
Raye was very impressed with how Smith played in the second half of Sunday's game against the Packers. The only issues Raye brought up when speaking about Smith were his need to put it all together for a complete game and continuing to build his confidence.
Q: It sounds as if you think Alex is on the fast track to being a really good player in this league. Is that accurate?
Raye: "I think he has demonstrated . . . what you have to understand if you go back and look film of the development of some of the outstanding quarterbacks in this league . . . he's in his fourth or fifth year with a two-year hiatus in which he didn't play at all. He's had four or five different systems, but he demonstrates in portions of games . . . you don't find many quarterbacks who throw three touchdown passes in the second halves of games, be it from behind or be it in the lead. If you do that, you do it. It has nothing to do with the score or the other team or the opponent and whether they're playing bend-don't-break. Once you do that, you do it. And he has demonstrated on several occasions that he's capable of scoring points.
"So, I'd say, yeah, he's well on his way. His maturity and all the other things fit together to play the position – he's tough enough; he has escapability; he kept a play alive in the third quarter and got a first down with his legs running the ball. He has all those things. It's his confidence that we're continuing to expand to let him be the best he can be. Whether that will be in the upper echelon in the NFL, I don't know. But he certainly has a chance to be good enough."
Q: In the second half against the Packers, the thing they were looking to avoid most where the big plays. But he hit passes down the field to Michael Crabtree and
Raye: "I think they were trying not to give up the strike over the top ball, but became vulnerable to the deep ball with the style of secondary coverage they were playing. Then, they had to shift gears and try to pressure him and see if they could get the ball to come out quicker to negate Vernon Davis' speed and Crabtree's vertical (routes) up the field. When they tried to pressure him, he hit them. When they tried to defend, he hit him. So then they got to a point where it was mix the pressure and mix the coverage and he was still able to move the ball. The last score we went in on with 5:48 left in the game, they were in a different mode in their boundary because they hadn't figured out a way to curtail what he was doing."
* * *
On the surface, this looks like it could be a really bad year to head into the offseason looking for a quick fix at quarterback. Because of the expected uncapped year, only unsigned players with six years of service would be eligible for unrestricted free agency. That list of potential free agents includes no current starting quarterbacks: Chad Pennington, Rex Grossman, Kyle Boller, David Carr, Daunte Culpepper, A.J. Feeley, Josh McCown, Chris Redman, Brian St. Pierre, Charlie Batch and Mark Brunell.
And there is no buzz yet about a college quarterback who has distinguished himself above the rest.
So the best thing for the future of the 49ers is that Jimmy Raye is correct in saying Alex Smith "has a chance to be good enough."

Hopgood's Foodliner 416.533.2723 hopgoodsfoodliner.com closed Tues & Wed
Geoff Hopgood's restaurant is Canadian to its core. A fresh, simple and honest food menu varies weekly depending on availability and imagination. The two dining areas are small, cute but utilitarian; an old school '70s mom-and-pop diner modernized. The music brings one back while the food spins one forward. Servers are passionate.
The menu has so many great choices it's bloody hard to decide. Daily specials that caught my eye are the fresh spot prawn's grilled-to-order and seasoned with lemon and fresh parsley, and a massive Rockefeller style Atlantic surf clam. Next, smoked Mackerel is outstanding served on house-made oatcakes with crème fresh and aromatic fennel – flavours work together marvelously. Lamb heart tartare is delicate and seasoned with crispy caramelized cauliflower, sliced olives, fried cream and served alongside crisp house-made crostini. The hot crab dip (inspired by mom) was a recipe the chef had grown up with and decided to include on the menu for good reason – it's one of the best in the city. Citrus, herbs and fresh crab jump out on the palette, and served with Triscuit crackers that's so charming it's endearing.
The cocktail list is consistent with the latest trend. Scottish Breakfast (Te Bheag Scotch Whiskey, Petro Ximenez sherry, orange bitters) is a silky and smooth – liquid love. And the Blue Mountain Pinot Gris 2010 from Okanagan Falls is lovely, refreshing and floral. The only misstep is the HF Bloody Mary, a house made tomato mix so thick it could double as cold soup; additionally it's over seasoned and heavy with horseradish, topped off with a raw spot prawn and pickled pepperoncini.

Scamwatch is calling on businesses to urgently review how they verify and pay accounts and invoices as reports of business email scams continue to grow.
ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard says there's a very sophisticated scam in play.
She says scams occur when a hacker gains access to a business's email accounts, or 'spoof' a business's email so their emails appear to come from the company.
"The hacker then sends emails to customers claiming that the business's banking details have changed and that future invoices should be paid to a new account."
"These emails look legitimate as they come from one of a business's official email accounts. Payments then start to flow into the hacker's account."
In other variations of the scam, the hacker will send an email internally to a business's accounts team, pretending to be the CEO, asking for funds to be urgently transferred to an off-shore account. Hackers can also request salary or rental payments be directed to a new account.
"Scamwatch has even received reports of the hackers intercepting house deposits that have been sent to conveyancers, real estate agents or law firms."
"It's a scam that targets all kinds of businesses, including charities and local sporting clubs. There is a misconception these scams target just small business; however, the largest amount of reports and losses came from medium sized businesses, including one that lost more than $300,000."
Businesses have reported losses to these scams totalling $2.8 million to Scamwatch in 2018. The average loss is nearly $30,000.
Ms Rickard says effective management procedures go a long way towards preventing scams and calls on all businesses to be aware these scams exist and to alert staff to the potential for scams as well."
"They should consider a multi-person approval process for transactions over a certain dollar threshold and keep their IT security up-to-date with anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a good firewall."
"Businesses should also check directly with their supplier if they notice a change in account details. It's vital a business don't do this just by return email or using other contact details provided.

Established vineyards in Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties statistically range from $30,000-$70,000 per acre in value. However, transactions in the "sweet spots" of top AVAs such as Willow Creek and Santa Rita Hills are seeing values in the $100,000 range per acre.
Jenny Heinzen Real Estate represented a highly successful local wine producer in the strategic purchase of Kiler Canyon Vineyards. The esteemed site features 25 acres of ultra-premium vineyard on Arbor and Kiler Canyon Roads in the Willow Creek AVA of Paso Robles, CA.

Meizu M3 Note Review: An iPhone doppelgänger at best
Since the M3 Note only has a single button for all it's navigation, to access recent apps, you have to swipe up from the bottom of the screen. While it's a gesture you'll need a couple of days to get used to, it's the only feature on the Meizu M3 Note that you'd miss when switching to a different device.tech Updated: Jan 11, 2017 20:03 IST
"Hey, that looks like my phone," said an iPhone 6s owner on spotting the Meizu M3 Note.
She was quite certain it was an iPhone until she picked it up, because it's definitely thicker and feels less solid than the Apple flagship. However, in the department of looks, the Meizu M3 Note nails the iPhone look-alike contest. So, while the Meizu M3 Note takes inspiration from Apple's flagship in terms of looks, it remains a bit thick and heavy like the usual Android smartphones in terms of the feel. Which is quite acceptable for the price (Rs 9,999), considering it's a fifth of the premium iOS device.
The Meizu M3 Note has a single oval button under the screen just like the circular one on iPhones. It doubles up as a touch 'back button' and physical 'home button'. There's also an embedded fingerprint sensor that lets you unlock the phone without having to enter a pass- word.
While iOS makes the back button obsolete with software tweaks, Android still depends on it quite a bit. In fact, on the upcoming Android N update, the recent button can also be used to switch into a multi-window mode. Even 'Now on Tap' that scans the entire screen to give related Google Search results is accessed by long pressing the home button, which might be an hurdle for Meizu smartphones to get an update. Because the functions of the home and back keys depend heavily on the only oval button under the screen of a Meizu M3 Note. Tapping on it is registered as 'back' and pressing it takes you to the home screen.
Since the M3 Note only has a single button for all it's navigation, to access recent apps, you have to swipe up from the bottom of the screen. While it's a gesture you'll need a couple of days to get used to, it's the only feature on the Meizu M3 Note that you'd miss when switching to a different device. This way of accessing the recent apps starts to feel natural and makes sense too.
The Fyme OS on M3 Note, while clean, is also a bit laggy. All these software tweaks to make
it functional with a single button under the screen take its toll on the smartphone. Over long periods of use, the speed at which apps loads tends to get slower, and slower till you give up on the device's ability to be your daily driver. But the battery on this smartphone is no disappointment. The 4,1000 mAh backup on this phone keeps the phone going through the day and beyond.
While the camera takes forever to load, it does capture surprisingly good pictures for the price. This makes the Meizu M3 Note for just Rs 9,999 a decent device overall. The Meizu M3 Note is the phone for you if you really want an iPhone 6 or 6s doppelgänger.
However, if you want a smartphone with a more reliable performance and more assurance to an Android N upgrade, get your hands on a Lenovo K4 Note, Redmi Note 3 or even the LeeCo 2.

Snow is such an incredibly fun activity for kids. As a parent, it's easy to get wrapped up in the hassle of dressing kids for snow. In order to avoid the desire to slip into PJs and watch the snow from the window sill, I like to look at the snow through the eyes of a child. Here are a few fun ways to spice up the activity, with no shovel or corn-cob pipe required.
Dress the Part
The simple act of dressing for a snowy excursion can be exciting for all ages. Let your child help you assemble the clothing items and then talk about the body parts they cover. Go slowly to demonstrate how to put on hats, mittens and boots. Before long, your child will do the job herself. Montessori lessons encourage teaching young children to put on their jackets by laying them on the floor upside down. Kids reach their arms through both sleeves and pull the jacket overhead. Although 1 year olds make great un-zipperers, the skills of fastening and buttoning generally improve around 2 to 3.
Fast Track
Follow the Leader is a terrific game for the snow because it is easy to see how each footstep forms the track. Vary the speed of your steps or the size of your gait. Even if they don't catch on right away, kids will enjoy following the path you create. An older child can form large shapes in the snow from tracks. Another great way to train balance is to let kids follow your tracks. Who didn't love stomping in Dad's HUGE footsteps as a kid?
Weather Chat
The best way to learn about the weather is to talk about it. Animate the conversation with shivers and let your kid know, "Brrrr, it's freezing cold!" Are the snowflakes heavy? Is the sun out? Does the snow feel wet as it melts?
Sit On It
Last, but not least, snowpants are mandatory for toddlers because they just want to get down into the snow. Your adventurous tot can roll around, make a snow angel, or fall over. Watch the kids stretch to get back up unassisted. If they're bundled as snuggly as Randy from "A Christmas Story," they may need help. Otherwise, most kids will enjoy the challenge of learning to maneuver in the super snow suit.

When someone asks Ifemelu, the intelligent and witty protagonist of Americanah, about the book she is reading, she thinks, "Why did people ask 'What is it about?' as if a novel had to be about only one thing." - Jenny Shank
I first officially heard Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche on what I usually hear all things wonderful, NPR in my car after a long day at school. She was discussing her novel Americanah while joking with the interviewer about American Literature. I was enchanted by her voice and the intelligence that weighed heavily through her words even while joking. I downloaded Americanah on my Audible app that same week and since then my world has been changed forever.
If you're familiar with the song "Flawless" by Beyoncé then you too have heard Adiche's voice. Beyonce sampled Adiche's 2013 Tedx Talk titled, "We should all be feminists", using her opinion on gender roles to introduce the hit on the her 2013 surprise album release.
Americanah is an experience of race, education, personal struggles, observations, and love through the life of Ifemelu, a young Nigerian woman who emigrates to the U.S. to continue her education.
I'm currently listening to this novel for the second time. What I love about listening to Americanah, other than the convenience of an audiobook, is the beautiful African accent of narrator Adjoa Andoh. She embodies every character through her tone and energy, painting the already colorful novel with another layer of character. I highly recommend this book!

Blowing bubbles in the Carina Nebula
The image shows the effects of massive star formation – powerful stellar winds and radiation have carved pillars and bubbles in dense clouds of gas and dust.
Giant bubbles, towering pillars and cascading clouds of dust and gas fill the star-forming nursery of the Carina Nebula seen here in a stunning new view from Herschel to launch ESA Space Science's image of the week feature.
The Carina Nebula is some 7500 lightyears from Earth and hosts some of the most massive and luminous stars in our Galaxy, including double-star system eta Carinae, which boasts over 100 times the mass of our Sun.
The total amount of gas and dust traced by ESA's Herschel space observatory in this image is equivalent to some 650 000 Suns. Including warmer gas not well traced by Herschel, the total mass may be as high as 900 000 Suns.
Surrounding pillars of gas and dust point towards the bright central region of nebulosity – home to eta Carinae and numerous other massive stars.
The pillars are carved by intense stellar winds and radiation blasted out by these stars, eating away at the surrounding material.
Above and to the left is a chaotic web of bubbles and broken bubble arcs molded by individual regions of star formation that have swept up shells of dense clouds around them.
At top right is the Gum 31 nebula, which has blown a giant bubble out of the surrounding dense clouds thanks to winds and radiation emitted by the young stellar cluster NGC 3324 that sits at its heart.
The image covers approximately 2.3 x 2.3 degrees of the Carina Nebula complex and was mapped using Herschel instruments PACS and SPIRE at wavelengths of 70, 160, and 250 microns, corresponding to the blue, green, and red channels, respectively. North is to the upper left and east is to the lower left.
