Free higher education is certainly a laudable idea, but at the moment the country cannot afford it.
How many first world countries have free education? If, as now proposed, funds are taken from other departments, they will all have serious sustainability problems next year, leading to near collapse of the infrastructure.
The big question is, however, where will funds come from after the first year? This seems not to have been addressed. Free higher education, at the moment is like putting the cart before the horse – where are the newly educated going to find employment?
It would make sense to first stimulate the economy and thereby create a demand for jobs.

The Chocolate Tree: A Natural History of Cacao
University Press of Florida, 2007 - History - 218 pages
"Young's readers will thank him for making life a bit more pleasant, both by improving the production of chocolate and by providing such entertaining reading."--The Sciences "Informative, valuable, and original."--Quarterly Review of Biology "Young has new and important things to say about the ecology and biology of cacao."--Times Higher Educational Supplement "Engaging."--Booklist Young provides an overview of the fascinating natural and human history of one of the world's most intriguing commodities: chocolate. Cultivated for over 1,000 years in Latin America and the starting point for millions of tons of chocolate annually consumed worldwide, cacao beans have been used for beverages, as currency, and for regional trade. After the Spanish brought the delectable secret of the cacao tree back to Europe in the late 16th century, its seeds created and fed an insatiable worldwide appetite for chocolate. The Chocolate Tree chronicles the natural and cultural history of Theobroma cacao and explores its ecological niche. Tracing cacao's journey out of the rain forest, into pre-Columbian gardens, and then onto plantations adjacent to rain forests, Young describes the production of this essential crop, the environmental price of Europeanized cultivation, and ways that current reclamation efforts for New World rain forests can improve the natural ecology of the cacao tree. Amid encounters with sloths, toucans, butterflies, giant tarantula hawk wasps, and other creatures found in cacao groves, Young identifies a tiny fly that provides a vital link between the chocolate tree and its original rain forest habitat. This discovery leads him to conclude that cacao trees in cultivation today may have lost their original insect pollinators due to the plant's long history of agricultural manipulation. In addition to basic natural history of the cacao tree and the relationship between cacao production systems and the preservation of the rain forest, Young also presents a history of the use of cacao, from the archaeological evidence of Mesoamerica to contemporary evidence of the relationship between chocolate consumption and mental and physical health. A rich concoction of cultural and natural history, archaeological evidence, botanical research, environmental activism, and lush descriptions of a contemporary adventurer's encounters with tropical wonders, The Chocolate Tree offers an appreciation of the plant and the environment that provide us with this Mayan "food of the gods."

here to help
whether you're home or away, you can always have peace of mind.
here's just one example of a vivint customer who's using his system to stay safe while on the move:
"i had vivint install an alarm system in my home a few years back. at first i was skeptical and really didn't want the system, but i went ahead and got it installed. shortly after, i got a job that requires me to work overseas. because i live by myself, it meant that my home would be vacant every other month. at that point, the system gave me peace of mind while i was away. today, however, as far as i am concerned, the system has just paid for itself tenfold."
"i am currently out of the country for work. this morning, i received an email from vivint that my glass break detector went off at 2:50 a.m. vivint tried to contact me via telephone, and when i didn't answer they dispatched the rcmp to my house. the police walked around the premise and found that someone broke the window on my garage door so they could gain entry. the would-be thieves did get away, but they weren't able to get into the house thanks to vivint."
"no matter where you are—working, shopping, enjoying the holidays, or even sleeping for that matter—vivint is there to protect your home and valuables 24×7."

text: The recent global financial mess -- from Icelandic banks and foreclosed homes in Vegas to credit crunches and mega-bucks corporate bailouts -- is hardly the stuff of entertainment. But Charles Ferguson's Oscar-nominated documentary is a surprisingly engaging, two-hour financial horror show. Ferguson marshals a huge amount of information into a cogent timeline, refocusing viewers on three main points to illustrate here: what led to the crisis; how it unfolded and which warnings went missed; and how, having dodged a bullet, not much of what went wrong has been reformed. Inside Job tells its story primarily through talking heads, but Ferguson has a gift for piecing together a compelling indictment. Much of the material will be familiar to those who have been following this story, but the problem is so complex that every recitation helps. And among the film's better payoffs: the all-too-cozy alliance between government, the financial industry and academic economists, many of whom provided the imprimatur for a decade of increasingly risky capitalism. And unlike the slick-suited gods of Wall Street and career politicians, these academic superstars don't hold up well to Ferguson's cross-examinations. Post-crisis, it's cold comfort, but satisfying all the same to see some folks behind the mess squirm under the hot lights. Destinta Bridgeville and North Versailles, Galleria 6

Aggro to turn to silence
BYRON BAY Football Club wants to take action to prevent potentially aggressive behaviour by some parents as part of soccer's wider problems with crowd control.
The club is hoping to introduce a Silent Saturday or Silent Weekend policy next year to stop parents and coaches distracting junior players from enjoying games.
Club president Richard Ray said it was hoped the move would "help the few parents and coaches who feel they must provide constant direction realise that kids can play very well with limited instruction".
Mr Ray said the idea was to "eliminate the ever-increasing questioning of referees by coaches and parents".
Abuse of referees is an issue at all levels of the game, with security often required to escort match officials from A-League venues.
The Western Sydney Wanderers, despite a great debut season, have had problems with crowd violence and there is sometimes trouble when cross-town rivals Victory and Heart clash in Melbourne.
Byron Bay FC's Silent Sat- urday is likely to be a talking point at the club's 50th anniversary dinner on Saturday.
"This takes the pressure off the players and gives them an opportunity for a more positive environment," Mr Ray said.
Initially the concept will be adopted for the juniors from Grade 6 to Grade 16, but the principle should equally apply to the seniors.
The idea needs to be approved by the club's executive committee "but to be successful it must be whole- heartedly embraced by the coaches and managers".
"Coaches and parents will always see more than players do, so it requires patience and self-discipline not to say what you think they should be doing," Mr Ray said.
"We expect coaches and parents to let our kids explore their potential by making their own choices on the field instead of being told what to do throughout a game. We want our players to be free to set their own level of competition rather than play to our expectations."
The club will take the initiative to Football Far North Coast and hope it will be embraced by the association.

Face Time: Nonprofit employee talks about sustainability
Mon., Aug. 30, 2010
Mariah Rose McKay is one of the coordinators of Sustainable September Spokane, a monthlong effort to encourage people to explore ways to live cleaner and work smarter.
McKay, 26, is an employee at Spokane nonprofit Community-Minded Enterprises. The group hosted the first Sustainable September Spokane a year ago.
Q. How do you explain sustainable activities?
A. Sustainability is essentially the ability for a community to remain vibrant and maintain a quality of life. If there was a nuclear meltdown around us and we were not contaminated, would we be able to maintain our existence to the quality level we currently enjoy?
Q. What's the goal of the month of events?
A. When people discuss the sustainability movement, it's an abstract concept that takes some thought to wrap one's head around.
So how do you talk about that in a concrete way with the public at large? How can you present a cross-section of all the work already going on, in the Inland Northwest, to build a world that is more healthy, more environmentally intact? This (month of events) is the answer to that. It's a showcase and public education effort.
Q. What's different this year from last year?
A. Instead of creating a laundry list of events, we've created eight tracks for eight topic areas. Each track is a semi-self-contained topic (such as local food, building and landscaping, or health and well being). Each topic has a volunteer committee with a track leader. And each committee has created a featured event and supporting events.
Q. How many public events are there?
A. More than 100.
Q. Where can we find that calendar?
A. It's all at >sustainableseptemberspokane.org. The calendar color-codes the eight different tracks. … And the committees are still adding events. They're looking for more partners in the community who would be a good fit and want to add more events to our calendar.
Q. If you're a busy parent or active person, which events might be of interest?
A. I'd recommend the Main Street Fair, on Sept. 11. It's a great way to have access to lots of kid activities and free giveaways. It's a good way to learn about a lot of different organizations.
Another is the Spokane River Cleanup on Sept. 25 (starting at 9 a.m.). It's popular and fun. It's become the Bloomsday of environmental events. For instance it has a weirdest-junk contest for pulling things out of the river.
Q. Are the events free?
A. Many are free. Others have to have tickets purchased in advance. All that information can be found on our website. One event (in the Local Food track) is the Trezzi Farm "Ethics of Eating" dinner on Sept. 9. That costs $35.
Q. Will there be another Sustainable September next year?
A. There definitely will be. Despite the tightness of resources these days, this work is of the utmost importance and needs to continue to happen in one way or another.

Trending last month was a photo of Kristen Wiig at the premiere of the Ghostbusters movie. What made the photograph so compelling was not the talented actress but rather the beaming faces of her fans. Specifically, two young girls decked out in the movie's signature canvas jumpsuits. "This Ghostbusters premiere photo shows why representation matters," declared a BuzzFeed post. Indeed, enthusiasm over that photo seems to be rooted in feminism. Facebook and Twitter users praised Hollywood for finally producing movies with strong female protagonists. The impact from the movie was nearly instant. As seen in the photo, young girls were quick to admire the power and autonomy demonstrated by Wiig in the action-packed adventure movie. The young fans seemed eager to mimic a stronger persona than the mainstreamed helpless princess.
Why in the world am I talking about a Ghostbusters movie in a blog written for a women's professional group? I bring up the movie premiere photo because representation does matter, not just in Hollywood, but also (especially) in the workplace. However, in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) industries, women are being underrepresented. The disparity is significant; women make up less than 30% if the workforce in STEM industries. The gender disparity is even greater for C-suite positions (i.e. CEO, CFO, COO, etc.). Similarly, women make up just a third of legal professionals in the United States. In private law firms, less than 22% of partners are women. If seeing is believing then how can we expect women to feel empowered to become the next environmental leaders with the gender gap?
"Women make up less than 30% if the workforce in STEM industries...[and] just a third of legal professionals"
Here is the kicker - The Journal of Psychological Science found that the root cause of the gender gap in STEM industries is the lack of female role models. A role model allows women starting out in the field to aspire to C-suite positions. Furthermore, female executives demonstrate the skills and personality traits needed to become a successful leader. For women working at companies where every C-Suite member has a Y chromosome, such attributes can be an enigma.
Representation can be tackled at an institutional level but organizations in the environmental field need to make diversity in their leadership structure a priority. This may mean different things for different organizations. Diversity strategies include updating hiring policies to ensure more women are joining the organization and ensuring women are included in training opportunities. For all organizations, any existing discriminatory attitudes towards female executives need to end. Bottom line is that C-Suites membership needs to include men AND women. "Should we really change company policies in the name of ethics?" you ask, "we are trying to make a profit after all..." Short answer: yes. Longer answer: yes AND practices to elevate women into leadership positions are not only ethical but also improve the bottom line. A global survey of 22,000 companies conducted by the Peterson Institute for International Economics found that companies that went from having no women in C-suite positions to having women make up 30% of C-suite positions increased their profitability by an average of 15%.
Companies that went from having no women in C-suite positions to having women make up 30% of C-suite positions increased their profitability by an average of 15%.
Feel like you would rather watch paint dry than wait for any instructional changes on diversity? Stay away from those paint VOCs (we are environmentally conscious too, after all) because you do not have to wait. The issue of representation can also be tackled at the group and individual level. Empower your female co-workers by complementing their leadership skills and help that friend you met at the last WIE event to proof-read her resume. Also, an excellent way to promote female empowerment in this industry is via mentorships. WIE has developed a mentorship program which connects senior female environmental professionals with women starting out in the field. If you are interested in being a mentor or a mentee, please contact email@example.com.

Curious as to what other endurance athletes eat? Find out what elite distance runner, Olympic Trialist, and EnduroPacks ambassador, Tina Muir eats in a regular day!

Bree had a breakout season in 2014 with a number of top 10 and podium finishes including an overall win at Ironman Canade-Whistler, Ironman New Zealand (4th place), Ironman Texas (4th Place), Ironman Hawaii 70.3 (2nd place), Ironman World Championship (16th place), and Ironman Western Australia (6th place) to cap off her season. To stay healthy and race at a high level, Bree implemented a strict program which includes a healthy diet, proper rest, and EnduroPacks daily system of vitamins and minerals, to keep her healthy and performing at peak levels.
She's the very girl that finished college with a job offer to teach in Hawaii and another to teach in Costa Rica. With a coin in her hand, heads Hawaii and tails Costa Rica, she gave it a flip. Two weeks later she landed in Hawaii and never looked back. She writes down goals & dreams, then chases them heart first until she lands amongst them, often falling on her face, somewhere between waiting patiently and determination. Bree's dad once told her (before she won Ironman Louisville), "Country girls are made the strongest, remember that".
In Hawaii she was encouraged to take up running, which soon led her to join Kona Aquatics, buy a bike, and triathlon. Watching the 2003 Hawaii Ironman run through her back yard, another dream was written, "I have to do Ironman." And so she did. In her first Ironman (2007) she not only won her 25-29 age-group, she set the amateur record! That very day changed her entire life. The mother of 2 year old Kainoa and 3rd grade teacher, would be trading in all her chalk and stickers for the opportunity to live out a dream. 2008 began Bree's journey as Hawaii's female professional triathlete.
Currently Bree is taking a one-month break, prescribed by her coach, James Cotter, to help her recover before ramping back up for the 2015 season. Bree plans to incorporate EnduroPacks daily system of sports nutrition into her offseason training regimen to help her recover properly from her training and keep her healthy.
We're very pleased and honored to have Bree joining our team in 2015! You can read more about Bree on her personal blog at http://www.hibreewee.com.
In 2014 Thomas raced in over 20 events, ranging from duathlons to full-ironman distance races. Thomas stays healthy by implementing a strict program which includes a healthy diet, proper rest, and EnduroPacks daily system of vitamins and minerals, to keep him healthy and performing at peak levels.
Thomas Gerlach grew up in Madison, Wisconsin playing team sports and running circles around the other kids when it came to aerobic activity. He found the sport of triathlon after suffering an overuse injury due to his heavy focus on running marathons during college. His first triathlon race was in 2006 and every year since then he has been one of the most active racers and always try to have some fun and smile while I am out there competing. Since turning pro in 2011, he has a total of 7 professional podium finishes, including fifth overall in the Challenge Atlantic City Ironman, second overall in the 2014 Ironman Louisville, and third overall in the 2014 Ironman Silverman 70.3, among others.
Thomas plans to incorporate EnduroPacks daily system of sports nutrition into his offseason training regimen to help him recover properly from his training and stay healthy.
We're very pleased and honored to have Thomas joining our team in 2015! You can read more about Thomas on his personal blog at www.thomasgerlach.com.

We are sharing an article written by Tina Muir, Elite Distance Runner for Saucony Hurricanes Racing Team, and former Olympic Trialist in the 10k meters. Tina writes numerous training and nutrition articles on her blog "Fuel Your Future With Tina".
With my MBA out of the way, I finally have time to dedicate some of my brain power to informative posts; I thought it would be good to do a series featuring what I consider the not so "secrets" of my success. Many of you may already do some, or all of these, but if not, they are the "little things" that make a BIG difference and hopefully help you become your best. If you missed the first post, you can read about the Importance of Keeping a Training Log.
Today I would like to focus on one of the nemeses (yep, I really did just use Merriam- Webster to make sure that was the plural of the word) of marathon training; strides.
In college, I loved doing strides. Okay, love may be a little strong, but I used to feel powerful and fast striding up and down the turf, mostly thanks to the other speed work that complemented my 5k/10k training. Strides gave me a pop in my step, which always led to a fast last lap to surprise even myself as I crossed the finish line.
However, now I am slow...well, slow compared to 4:45 mile speed in college, lacking the kick I had in the "good old days". Now, strides hurt. They feel awkward, and all my muscles scream out in discomfort as they wonder why they could suddenly be expected to move so fast after over an hour of going a comfortable pace?
Whatever distance you are training for, be it 5k, 10k, half marathon or marathon training, strides should become an essential part of your routine before every workout, and another 2-3 times after recovery runs. In case I am not enough motivation for you, American Record Holder Molly Huddle runs 6 strides after every recovery run, "I'll try to focus on knee lift and getting a quicker and lighter turnover than during the easy run". Running Times also backs her up stating that strides allow you to improve coordination between the nervous system and the muscles.
So what are good strides?
Within 5-10 minutes of finishing your easy/recovery runs, you should find a flat stretch 60-100m long. A track is ideal, as you can measure out the distance.
Running significantly faster than you have been for the rest of your run, but not all out, you should open up your running stride, pumping your arms, and focusing on your form. You should get up to 80-85% of your maximum speed by the middle of the stride, before slowing down again. It may feel a little uncomfortable at first, and I usually notice my hamstrings do not enjoy the first few. It will get better!
Give yourself 30-90 seconds recovery before running back.
Complete 4-6 strides, and then follow your usual post run routine.
And here is another one coming back
Running strides after recovery runs will help your body to get used to a different speed, so you can not only finish a race faster, but your body is better prepared to handle pace changes during a race.
Strides should also be completed before a workout to fire up your fast twitch muscles to simulate a race as you run race/workout pace for a few seconds. If 6x100m is too many, try doing just 2 or 4-6 shorter strides. I usually do 4; then give myself 2-3 minutes for my heart rate to come down a little, before starting the workout.
The start of a race is always fast, and you always want to finish a race fast, so why not train your body ahead of time so you can run your best on the day it matters.
You can follow Tina on Twitter-@tinamuir, Instagram -tinamuir88, Pinterest-tinamuir88 or her blog www.tinamuir.com, and cheer her on during her upcoming races, including the Brooklyn Half Marathon on May 17th.

WhiteSpace Marketing were approached by the founders of Blow Inn to create a brand that was classy and strong, with a flash of sass. Using black and rich gold, the brand was developed and rolled out to a full online booking system website, custom designed mobile website, and other stunning printed collateral. Blew them away.
Using the sharp curves of the gold pattern on black throughout the salon, and on the service menu, business cards, press advertising etc meant that the branding cut through and people quickly learnt to recognise and remember their style.

Why Music?
"I would teach children music, physics and philosophy; but more importantly music; for in the patterns of music and all the arts, are the keys to learning". – Plato
1. Accelerates brain development
Research has found that playing an instrument accesses many areas of the brain. A musicians brain is known to communicate across both hemispheres efficiently and coherently through a network of connected neural pathways more efficiently than non instrumental players. Accessing many parts of the brain leads to development in other areas as well as music, such as literacy, numeracy, communication, movement, emotional intelligence, sensitivity to sound and coordination.
In other words, developing musical ability, develops ability in all other areas.
2. Develops and deepens listening.
Listening is required to become an effective communicator, to follow instructions and to participate effectively in learning. Children develop the ability to listen to the quality and tone of sounds and and the inner effects it has on the child - how it makes them think feel, experience.
This opens the door to develop ability to listen and check in with their inner world increasing emotional awareness and tuning into their own inner desires.
3. Increases focus, attention span and memory.
Lessons are designed for focus, attention and memory to grow in incremental steps. In the early childhood program, this is achieved by having many short musical activities to move with the childs attention, in individual lessons, the lessons length will grow with the childs ability. What starts at a 5 minute lesson, will eventually grow to a 30 minute lesson where the child will be able to sit and focus for the entire time. Memory is developed through repeated listening of repertoire at home, it not unusual for a toddler to be able to sing advanced violin pieces that their older sibling may be learning. Children who learn Suzuki music have outstanding memory ability!
4. Provides the foundation for numeracy and Literacy.
In music notation you will find fractions, additions, a certain number of beats per bar and a rhythm that must equal the time signature. Rhythm develops speech patterns, changes in pitch assists in determining phenoms in language, as well as listening, vocalisation, sequencing and the list goes on. A complicated process when broken down and fortunately children learn it all through music without knowing it! Magic!
5. Fosters confidence and leadership
In a pressure free respectful environment children are able to learn at their own pace. Children THRIVE in this environment! Able to learn at their own pace allows for children to find their feet to stand tall on their own - they find joy in leading and performing. Thinking forward to the future, this increases their self confidence to say yes to leadership roles, public speaking, expressing their opinion, performing and making confident decisions.
6. unity, tolerance and harmony through experience.
Music is something to be shared and to experience with others. Children learn to listen and play with one another and experience the feeling of being apart of something bigger when everyone plays together. This is the magic that nourishes children's hearts, dipping them into acceptance, tolerance and oneness. You may have experienced a similar feeling at a concert, festival or footy game when everyone may have cheered or sung along together at the same time. A wonderful experience that lifts everyone up!
7. Develops ability to persevere
To play an instrument is an ability that is developed over time. It is not something that can be picked up twice a month and expect results. This is an important experience for children who live in todays instant gratification world who will learn that ability is developed incrementally day by day. Anyone can have wonderful ability in any area if they persevere and practice each day and stick with it even through the challenging times. To learn to persevere is to develop the ability to set and attain goals in life.
8. Develops the ability to see beauty in the world.
Children learn to experience music deeply beyond listening with their ears, towards feeling the music within their heart. This grows the ability to recognise and be aware of the beauty within music, consequently, these children grow the ability to recognise and be aware of beauty in their own surroundings.
Dr Suzuki believed he could feel the essence of the child by listening to the quality and feeling of their tone. It takes great the ability to see beauty in the world, sensitivity and strength of character to produce beautiful tone.
"Beautiful Tone, Beautiful Heart" -Dr Suzuki
9. Fosters skills for positive relationships
Music is one of the few extra curricular activities where children will have the one teacher over many years. This provides a unique opportunity to experience a non relational adult, week after week, who with positive regard treats the child with respect, bucket loads of patience and is there just for the child with no distraction. Imagine the accumulative positive effects this modelling will have on the child year after year in their own future relationships!
Remember that in any extra curricular activity your child does, it is the teacher who has the most impact on the child, rather than the activity itself. So listen to your gut and choose your teacher wisely.
10. Gross and Fine Motor skill development.
In early childhood music lessons children learn gross motor skills through observing the older children in the lesson, walk, crawl, jump etc, through following actions, and the hand eye coordination involved in rolling a ball or bringing a mallet to the instrument. In Instrumental learning children develop a strong core providing the foundation for their posture and muscle tone endurance. Fine motor skills are developed through finger play, playing instruments as well as navigating props. In instrumental learning, finger movements are refined to create beautiful tone.
11. Above all Music Creates a love of learning
In an environment that is calm, free from pressure, involves group experiences and moves at the child's own pace; the child feels respected, proud of each step, motivated and ultimately enjoys learning. This nurtures a love and joy in learning that spreads beyond music making and lasts a life time!

We go truffle hunting with the Provence region's best trufficulteur at the start of the season. We arrive at the door of the region's largest trufficulteur, a business that started 3 generations ago. In the vastness of land (some 15 ha), the trufficulteur and his 2 dogs harvest the largest lot in the region. A truffle farmer recently murdered a burglar at his farm, we're told. In a competitive industry, stories of dog poisoning to sabotage competing farmer's work are also rampant. The trufficulteur tells us his grandfather started preparing the land for 10 years, before truffles can be harvested. Here, you'll find a species of oak trees that are best for truffles to grow under.
It's a little early in the Autumn season, so there aren't too many big finds. But here's a good start. The winter truffles are the highest valued crop, selling at Eur1000 per kg last year. The best time to harvest them is when the weather is very cold – Jan/ Feb onwards.
Here's what we've heard from the locals – mafia-like truffle thieves have broken down walls and entire homes to steal fridge-full loads of truffles from farmers.

Yana Van Den Herrewegen
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is an acquired form of focal epilepsy often caused by an initial traumatic event. In one-third of patients the available anti-seizure drugs (ASDs), mainly focusing on neuronal targets, do not adequately control seizures and therefore innovative treatment options are necessary. I study the role of astrocyte signaling in TLE, by using a chemogenetic approach to induce an astrocyte-specific expression of genetically engineered receptors (DREADDs) in a model for TLE. This allows us to selectively modulate astrocyte signaling and to study its effect on the recurrence of spontaneous seizures and the associated comorbidities in this mouse model.

GLEN ROSE, Texas - Family members are asking for prayers for a North Texas toddler who was seriously burned when her mother placed her in an oven.
The girl's mother, 35-year-old Tasha Hatcher, was arrested Thursday in Glen Rose and is now charged with injury to a child.
The Somervell County sheriff said Hatcher told deputies she put the 2-year-old in the oven. The sheriff did not elaborate on why.
we have decided not to show the girl's face. She is being treated at Parkland Hospital with second and third degree burns across 60 percent of her body, according to family members.
A friend, who asked that FOX 4 not use her name, said many in Glen Rose are shocked. Hatcher appeared to be an attentive and loving mother, the friend said.
A spokesperson for Child Protective Services confirmed the agency has taken custody of the girl. Her uncle said he and other relatives are not allowed to have any contact with her during the investigation.
Hatcher is being held on $300,000 bond.

'Unemployed demonised, victimised and have had their social welfare cut'
Alleged 'one of two companies behind Turas Nua – a body appointed by the Department of Social Protection to deliver JobPath services – has been accused of fraud in the operation of similar schemes in Britain.'
Sligo News File
The Dail has been told that some 140,000 unemployed people have been "turned into opportunities for profit for private companies."
TD Paul Murphy has also said that Working Links, one of two companies behind Turas Nua – a body appointed by the Department of Social Protection to deliver JobPath services – has been accused of fraud in the operation of similar schemes in Britain.
Murphy said, "Under the guise of labour activation measures pushed by Fine Gael and Labour, unemployed people have been demonised, victimised and have had their social welfare cut, all in the service of constructing a republic of precarity which drives people into the kind of low-paid precarious work which has become widespread.
"One in four workers are now in part-time employment, 30% of workers are low-paid and 8% of workers have hours which change from week to week or from month to month. The result is a complete lack of stability and security and people being unable to plan their lives. They are existing instead of living."
"The counterpart to that precarious unemployment is," he said, precarious unemployment in the JobPath machine. Some 140,000 unemployed people have been turned into opportunities for profit for private companies. In the process and without significant debate, the provision of social welfare has been partially privatised.
"I have spoken to a number of people who have been through JobPath. They say that they are not given any real training and they are just supervised while looking for jobs on a computer, which means that it is pointless travel for many. They describe it as demeaning, patronising and infantilising. The threat of having their social welfare cut by more than €40 hangs over all of their interactions with these private companies, which would leave people trying to survive on €150 or less a week.
"Since JobPath was introduced, the number of people who have had these so-called penalty rates applied has increased from 5,000 in 2015 to 16,000 last year. That is in one year alone. Some 6,500 JobPath participants have had their dole cut. On the other hand, €84 million of public money has been paid to just two companies, SeeTec and Turas Nua. They get money each time someone signs a personal progression plan and they get paid job sustainment fees. Both SeeTec and Working Links, which is one of two companies behind Turas Nua, have been accused of fraud in the operation of similar schemes in Britain. Last October in the Dáil, Deputy Catherine Murphy raised a very serious case of fraud by SeeTec in Ireland.
"All of that has been justified up until now on the false basis that the system works and gets people into employment. That has now been completely exposed by the Government's own figures which came out three weeks ago. Only 18% of those who engage in JobPath end up in full-time employment. Some €84 million has been given to
these private companies to get people jobs which they would have got themselves.
"Will the Taoiseach now read the writing on the wall for JobPath? Will he agree that the scheme needs to be scrapped and that instead of handing money over to private companies, he should invest in proper education and training and in real jobs for unemployed people?"
Describing welfare fraud as "very real," the Taoiseach said, "It is a real problem in this country and in every western society. Even if we take the lowest estimate of the scale of welfare fraud in this country, it is about €40 million a year. That is a lot of money in my view. Let us not forget that people who engage in welfare fraud are not the poor and vulnerable. They are people who are pretending to be poor and vulnerable. They are people who are working and claiming."
Deputy Mattie McGrath: "What about these companies?"
Taoiseach: The Taoiseach: They are people who are working, not paying their taxes on that work, and also claiming welfare at the same time. I do not believe that is defensible or acceptable. There are people who are pretending to have a disability they do not have or pretending to care for someone for whom they are not caring. People are claiming to be somebody they are not to claim pensions for people who are long dead. It really disappoints me to hear left-wing politicians in this country constantly defending fraudsters as though they are entitled to the benefits that they are stealing. They are not."
Deputy Pearse Doherty: "Fine Gael was the party that was caught out."
Taoiseach: It is absolutely the work of this Government—–
Deputy Mattie McGrath: "Turas Nua is a sham."
The Taoiseach: "—–to prevent and crack down on welfare fraud in any way we can. One only needs to look at the court reports every other day to see the detail of some of those cases and what people have been doing to defraud our system. The reason we cracked down on welfare fraud is not ideological. The reason is that fraud is wrong, whether it is tax fraud or welfare fraud, and we act against it. In doing so, we ensure that the welfare budget is protected for those who are entitled to it, including our pensioners, people with disabilities, carers, the unemployed, lone parents, blind people, widows and others. As a result we have been able to increase in two budgets in a row the State pension, payments to carers, payments to people with disabilities and payments to people who are unemployed. It is Government policy to crack down on welfare
fraud in order to protect the welfare budget for those who need and deserve it, particularly pensioners, the disabled, carers and people who are unemployed.
Deputy Mattie McGrath: "And to be nice to the bankers."
The Taoiseach: I am very disappointed to hear politicians on the left continuously equivocating on this issue and not condemning welfare fraud. I note that the Deputy did not do so on this occasion…."
Deputy Paul Murphy: "It is like Deputy Enda Kenny is back. The Taoiseach managed not to answer the question at all. Instead he attacked something which I did not say and then went on an ideological attack about Venezuela. I think he might have even referenced Colombia and Greece."
The Taoiseach: "Colombia is where the refugees are."
Deputy Paul Murphy: "Let us go back to the question. The question is on the Government's JobPath scheme, which has failed in its stated aim of getting jobs for people. That is what the facts now demonstrate. Only 18% of participants get jobs, which is no higher than the rate for people who do not have access to JobPath. These companies have been accused of fraud in Britain. What is the Taoiseach doing to make sure that they are not engaged in fraud here? To deal with the curveball which the Taoiseach has thrown,
which is that he will stand over and double down on his rhetoric about welfare fraud, the Taoiseach gave the figure of €40 million two minutes ago, but his advertising campaign said €500 million. Which is it? Who is engaged in fraud here?
Deputy Mattie McGrath: "It is the spin machine."
Deputy Paul Murphy: "The Taoiseach is engaged in fraud against unemployed people and is using public money to demonise them in order to drive precarious employment. He is continuing in that same Thatcherite vein here. Will he please answer the question asked in respect of JobPath?"
The Taoiseach: "I said that even the lowest estimate is €40 million. I note the Deputy has not refuted that.
Deputy Eoin Ó Broin: "What is the actual figure?"
The Taoiseach: "The figure of €500 million was what it said on the tin, that is fraud and control. Fraud and control. They are two different things."
Deputy Pearse Doherty: "It was the Department's Brexit bus."
The Taoiseach said if participants felt that they were not getting a proper service from JobPath, "they can make a complaint directly to the company. If they are not satisfied with the response, they can go to the Department and make a complaint through its procedures."
Deputy Mattie McGrath: "They would be wasting their time."

Continuing with my day-to-day diary account of my 1978 Cross America Run for the Jimmy Fund from June 11, 1978, to August 29, 1978, a total distance of 3,452 miles averaging 45 miles a day, done 40-years ago to the day. I'm enjoying reading these cards that I mailed home every day as I haven't read them in 40 years! Below is what I wrote on these cards each day.
Day 43 — July 23, 1978
Miles run = 47.1.
Finish location – Exeter, NE.
Comments: "Actually stayed in Friend, Nebraska today. Thought of all you guys as I entered this city. Found out that another kid from Mass is running across the US and stayed at this very motel...unreal!"
Day 44 — July 24, 1978
Miles run = 48.5.
Finish location – Lincoln, NE.
Comments: "Got interviewed at press conference today. UPI, radio stations, tv, newspapers. Mayor of Lincoln gave me the key to the city and invited me back next year to run in the annual Lincoln, Neb. Marathon...that's all I need now!"
Day 45 — July 25, 1978
Miles run = 45.2.
Finish location – Plattsmouth, NE.
Comments: "Our last city in Nebraska. Will be crossing the Missouri River tomorrow and in our 7th state – Iowa. Got interviewed by local newspaper again. Hope all these newspapers send copies home so I can show all of you!"
Day 46 — July 26, 1978
Miles run = 47.1.
Finish location – Red Oak, IA.
Comments: "Stayed on a farm today. A couple saw me running and invited us to stay with them on their farm. They had 20 cats, 5 dogs, 3 goats, 3 pigs, 1 pony, 1 rooster, 2 kids and 100 acres of corn in the back yard!! It was nice but I think I was too tired to fully appreciate their hospitality. Anyway, nice to get into another state!"
Day 47 — July 27, 1978
Miles run = 47.0.
Finish location – Creston, IA.
Comments: "Iowa is a tough state to run in. The roads are narrow and no shoulders on the roads. People are actually trying to run me over and one truck opened up its door to try to hit me...unreal. Just have to accept it though. It's not just putting one foot in front of the other, that's for sure. Miss you all."

High-flying romance in an uplifting debut from Eithne Shortall
Love in Row 27 brings the First Dates formula to the skies
Eithne Shortall: her fiction is written with humour and levity
Book Title:
Love in Row 27
Eithne Shortall
Guideline Price:
Try as we might to be open-minded, reviewers can be human too and find ourselves pre-judging a book by its cover. So it was with the loveheart graphic on the front of Eithne Shortall's debut Love in Row 27, and the declaration by the author on her Twitter page that her first book is intended to offer a comfort blanket to readers.
The gods of contemporary women's fiction got their own back later that evening with a bout of food poisoning. Over the next few days of recovery, Shortall's charming debut did indeed provide the proverbial blanket with her story of an airline check-in attendant in her late twenties who plays cupid to unsuspecting flyers.
The hallmarks of a classic romance are given a 21st century makeover in Shortall's novel. After moving home to London following the break-up of a relationship in Berlin, Cora Hendricks looks to distract herself from her own heartache by matchmaking at the Aer Lingus desk in Heathrow Airport. "Heathrow's answer to David Attenborough" uses social media to screen her specimens and her efforts result in an entertaining mix of hits and misses that successfully transfers the First Dates formula to the skies.
Array of perspectives
The assortment of characters in such a scenario is key to sustaining interest. Shortall picks wisely, offering an array of different perspectives: Nancy Moone, Cora's in-flight helper, is an ambitious woman who belies the trolley dolly stereotype; her gay American colleague George resents Cora's matchmaking as he can't find love himself; frequent flier Ingrid and her love of clichés is written with great comic timing; a world weary teacher tries to control a bunch of hormonal teenagers en route to Newgrange; a pompous lawyer lectures a young girl flying back to Ireland after an abortion and fails to notice her pain; and even the couple towards the end of the novel – Leonora and Jeffrey – who initially feel like two ticks in the diversity boxes of age and race, both deliver interesting views on life after the death of a spouse and the frustrations of being mollycoddled by their adult children.
Shortall has her finger on the pulse, as is to be expected for a journalist
This theme of the circle of life is made beautifully clear by Shortall through Cora's personal circumstances, where her beloved mother Sheila moves from the early stages of Alzheimer's to needing full-time care. The subplot of Sheila's deterioration is poignantly related and adds weight to the lighter fare. A vivid scene at Cora's sister's house for Sheila's birthday shows the devastating effects of losing someone while they remain physically the same.
Other thought-provoking ideas touched on in the novel include racism in cartoons, the marriage referendum in Ireland and the public's fascination with weight and cookery programmes. Shortall has her finger on the pulse, as is to be expected for a journalist. The Dublin-born author studied journalism at Dublin City University and has lived in London, France and America. Now based in Dublin, she is chief arts writer for the Sunday Times Ireland.
Shortall's fiction is written with humour and levity. Cora's friend Nancy has a particularly wry outlook on life, growing up in a household where her brothers' achievements overshadowed her own: "When your mam keeps calling to tell you how skinny your pregnant sister-in-law is, which by the way was an unhinged thing to be proud of". The details of the air hostess world also provide comedy, from how the crew deal with unruly passengers, to the ins-and-outs of the job: "They were out of Touche Eclat. Again".
The initial chapters have the genre's tendency to bucket dump information on characters from an omniscient perspective, and it's spelled out one too many times that Cora is hiding from her own life with her matchmaking, but these quibbles fade amid colourful scenes and dialogue that hits the mark, particularly with the mismatches in the air.
Potential suitors
But no romance novel is successful without the heroine's own compelling amorous entanglements and resolution. Cora is likeable and well-drawn, with her descent into obsession with the matchmaking highlighted by her no-nonsense Irish flatmate Róisín: "The passengers are total strangers and you're verging on stalker". Cora's former relationship with Friedrich – a misunderstood German musician that will have readers themselves swearing off romance – is vividly rendered: "He had woken her up to see what she was dreaming about. It was a particular affront to Friedrich when she slept and he did not, like she was keeping some experience from him".
As Cora gets over him, there are potential suitors such as the handsome airport security guard, but readers will spot the Darcy dynamic with a frequent flying passenger long before Cora herself does. Although obvious, it feels vibrant and modern, a Dublin doctor with "the three P's – pride, pedantry, and pompous taste in films". Love in Row 27 is an uplifting novel that wraps you in its clutches. Emergency exit initial disdain, shamefaced.

A market as large as Russia couldn't be replaced, but there are many indications that Egypt is currently the key market for Polish apples. This has been confirmed by export data for the last few years made available by the Chief Inspectorate of Plant Health and Seed Inspection, reports the Association of Polish Fruit Growers.
"In 2017, we started our first activities on the Egyptian market in the framework of the campaign 'It's time for apples from Europe', and we hoped for such an effect. Above all, we expected to find a market that would allow us to replace at least over ten percent of the lost Russian market. The success of our campaign is now becoming irrefutable. By mid-December, almost 64 thousand tons of apples had been shipped from our country to Egypt, while in 2016 this figure stood below the 33 thousand tons. Over the two years of our campaign activities, exports have consequently doubled. In the past, about 700,000 tons were exported to Russia when the fruit was in season," said representatives of the Association.
As we read on the website of the Association of Polish Fruit Growers, for many people this market seems still distant today, but as it turns out, each barrier can be effectively overcome. "Activities have been and will continue to be implemented until mid-2019 as part of the campaign entitled 'It's time for apples from Europe.' This is allowing representatives of producer groups and trade companies to participate in trade fairs and events like Food Africa, the largest trade fair organized in Africa. During three days, they held several hundred conversations, the vast majority of which ended with the arrangement of deliveries or the signing of contracts," they say.
"I am very happy with our participation in Food Africa. This is a very fruitful event in every respect. Egypt is a very promising market to which our company has been shipping apples for a long time. Polish apples are of excellent quality and in no way inferior to the French or Italian. They do have a unique sweet and sour taste; however, this doesn't bother Egyptian consumers, because they are open to new flavors," says Arek Gaik, president of Grupa Gaik Sp. z o. o.

text: Went out to run to the store this evening and..... click. click. click. Solenoid engages, but the motor will not turn over. Whacked the starter with a hammer a few times - nothing. Starter finally gave up the ghost. This has been creeping up for a few weeks. Every once in a while it'll happen, but give it a thump and it'll turn over. Not tonight I'm afraid. I broke out the jack at 2032 and was putting the tools away at 2052. Whopping 20 minutes to change the starter. I love old cars sometimes. On the topic of starters for these redblocks, I've been using the smaller 740/940 Bosch starter. They are permanent magnet with a gear reduction. It has threaded ears that makes them a snap to change (not that it's a common occurrence however). They are just more compact and weigh less. I conveniently had a spare, but I think that I'll have my old one remanufactured locally so I have another ready spare.

A great recipe to try with your young uns. You can make up the dough and let them play with it to thier heart's content
Minutes to Prepare: 30
Minutes to Cook: 20
Number of Servings: 8
- few drops of cooking oil for greasing
- 350g (11 1/2 oz) strong white flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3g (1/2 sachet) fast-action dried yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 200ml (7 fl oz) preboiled warm water

2. Sift the flour and salt in a mixing bowl and add the yeast, vegetable oil and water. Mix everything together with the wooden spoon, then put your hands into the bowl and draw the mixture together into a firm dough.
3. If the mixture is too dry to come together, add a little more water. If the mixture is too sticky and sticks to your hands, add some more flour.
4. Sprinkle flour over the work surface and tip the dough on to it. Have your child knead the dough by pushing, folding and turning it. You can be brutal with it; the more work, the better. Knead it for at least 5 minutes.
5. Break the dough into 8 equal pieces and knead into balls. Make a pointy snout at one end of each ball and place on the baking sheet. Leave plenty of space between the rolls as they will double in size. Help you child to make the prickles by snipping into the dough with the tips of scissors. Press halves of currants into the dough for eyes.

And such a freedom I enjoy
When you're deaf to the sounds you trust
If that was all you've got my friend... oh no
Then set yourself to disappoint
No picture dump this time, sorry! xD
When I left for Japan one and a half months ago, I made a huge mistake. I did not pack any of my dolls. And I basically regretted that the moment I closed the door behind me. I kept stalking the second hand marketplaces of Den of Angels and Dollicted, not really intending to buy anything (honestly), when I stumbled upon a Magic Time Rain. He was up for sale for a pretty good price and I kept debating whether I should snatch him up or not. End of story: he arrived today xD.
His previous owner was incredibly nice during our conversation and even allowed me a 2 month layaway. Turned out I didn't need it, tho, because I was able to land a job for 10k yen, yosh! (That's roughly 70euros, which was like almost half of his price x'D.)
He came in an m&m's box x'D...
That's what was inside x3! The super pretty Magic Time pouch, some goodies and a cute note!
Close-up of the goodies x3! He comes with interchangeable ears, elf and human ones x3! His previous owner also sent some cute, tiny ram's horns! They're adorable, but sadly they don't fit his character. But I'm pretty sure I'll find someone to wear them when I get back home xD. ALSO lots of cute stickers and scrapbooking materials, thank you x3!
Now to the main part xD. I had to carefully wiggle him out of the pouch lol. First look at his pretteh face x3!
Unfortunately, one of his eyelashes had become loose, so I took them off alltogether. It's okay, tho, because he shall be getting a brand new face-up when I return to Germany x3! He also came with pretty blue eyes! I didn't plan for him to have blue ones, but they kind of suit him so they will stay for now xD.
Adjusted his eyes and put the elf ears in, omg! I love those ears x3! They're so cute!
Pretty face is pretty.
Then I wigged and dressed him (god, I've missed that part, seriously). The wig was a mess and took a bit of work, but since it's the only one I've got here it'll have to be enough for now xD.
I kind of like his look, even though it's just thrown together bits and pieces from Dolly Teria xD. His style is casual punk. (Still working on that, tho xD)
Earrrrs~ x3!
He's chilling on my desk now. It's so nice to have a doll sitting next to me again, I've seriously missed that so much. /giant dork
His name is Eilonwyn and yes, I totally did steal that from Black Cauldron's princess Eilonwy (they don't have anything in common at all, tho xD I just love the name). He, however, doesn't like the name, so he goes by Wyn. He doesn't exactly get along with people, but that's a different story for another time xD. Anyways, I'm glad to have him here x3.

Ex Machina is one of my favorite films, and I'm always trying to find new ways to view and analyze it. The film has been categorized into genres such as sci-fi, drama, and psychological thriller, but I believe it could also be categorized as a neo-noir film.
A neo-noir is a film that utilizes many aspects of classic film noir, but it places those aspects into an updated context. Some of the elements present in noir include femme fatales, crime, and paranoia. Drive (2011) and The Dark Knight (2008) are both examples of neo-noir.
Caleb exemplifies the typical classic noir protagonist. He investigates the circumstances of Ava's creation and imprisonment, representing the theme of paranoia. In a position of desperation, he tries to figure out the correct moral path to choose. He views Ava as a damsel in distress, someone in need of saving. This makes Ava the femme fatale. Her morality remains ambiguous throughout the film, and she acts as a sort of love interest for Caleb. She utilizes her sexuality in order to gain power over him. She double crosses him, which is the main trait of a femme fatale.
The difference with this femme fatale among others is rather than being driven by hate or evil, she is driven by a need to survive. Additionally, rather than dying or having a tragic end, her character is the sole one to survive, leaving Caleb to die. Rather than depicting the typical gender anxieties present in classic noir and subtextually placing women as being disobedient to dominant males, this film is a tale of female empowerment.
The lighting in the film is also reminiscent of classic noir. Often dark and full of shadows, it sometimes resembles the techniques of German expressionism. There are odd angles shown, attempting to help disorient the viewer, aiding the underlying theme of ambiguity and deceit.
Ex Machina conforms closely to noir structure, but it reinvents the characters and subtext pretty radically. Full of ulterior motives, moral ambiguity, and eroticism, this film is a dreamlike, technological spin on classic film noir.

Scoil Aonghusa pupils are celebrating reading, books, authors and illustrators as part of World Book Day 2016. Pupils from Juniors Infants to Sixth Class have been coming together this week to appreciate reading and the benefits it brings them. Reading is very important to children, developing their mind, their imagination and ability to discover new things. Words that are read, written or spoken are the building blocks of life. The pupils will be receiving book tokens this week to go and buy their favourite book. Philips Bookshop in Mallow is holding a competition for all those children that redeem their tokens on World Book Day.
Book report by Dylan Matthews, 4th Class
Title: NO GUN FOR ASMIR
Author: Christobel Mattingley
Pupils choice rating: 4/5
Quick summary:
It was about a boy called Asmir and he was from Sarajevo and he moved to Vienna. He and his family were going to Vienna for a new start because it was 1993 and the Bosnian war was raging. His father Muris was a lawyer and he sent the rest of the family away in the middle of the night and he said he would meet them there in a month's time. Asmir's aunt told them they could catch a plane to Vienna because she lived there. They lived there until the war ended, sadly Asmir's father passed away as a casualty of the war.
Who is your favourite character and why?
Asmir was my favourite character because he was so brave minding his mother and younger brother.
What is the best part of the book and why?
When the family arrived in Vienna and were finally able to start again.
Would you recommend this to a friend?
Yes, it is better suited to senior classes as it is very sad story.
World Book Day takes place on Thursday 3rd of March. Each child in our school will receive a book voucher which can be used to purchase books at a discounted price in selected bookstores. Please shop local and support our local bookstores.
