Bad day for seedsMUMBAI, APRIL 1 .

Crime & Courts
At least 10 students arrested after fights at Harding High in Charlotte
At least 10 students were arrested Friday after two fights that might have been gang-related at Harding High School in west Charlotte.
The first fight happened just before lunchtime when a student was struck in the eye and needed medical attention, sources told WBTV, the Observer's news partner.
At least nine students were arrested after the fight, officials said.
The second fight happened later in the afternoon in the school parking lot. One student was arrested.
School officials said Harding went on lockdown at 10:45 a.m. because of the first fight. The lockdown was lifted at 11:15 a.m., but the school remained on a partial lockdown for the rest of the day.
Extra security will be present at the school on Monday, and students involved in the fights will be disciplined, officials said.

It's raining here in New York (not just water, but lots and lots of work projects) so I have to keep this Friday ShareDay post brief.
The big news this week (other than the Netflix debacle, which the NYT's David Pogue brilliantly dissected) was facebook's "improvements" – not only the changes to the current UI but the planned unveiling of "Timeline" and more. Clearly it's a strong play.. but will it work>? We'll put a pin in all that and come back to it when we've all had a chance to play with it.

Doc: Is cataract surgery safe for a 95-year-old?
Dear Dr. Roach: I'm 95 years old and was wondering if it would be advisable to have cataract surgery at my age. I had a cataract removed from my left eye, and it was very successful. My eye doctor said I have a condition known as pseudoexfoliation in my right eye, in addition to the cataract.
Dear S.D.: Surgery shouldn't be undertaken lightly at any age, and especially not for people who are among our oldest. However, cataract surgery is one that has a very good record, even among quite elderly people. In a 2014 study of cataract surgery in over 200 people 90 years or older, 80 percent had good improvement in their vision.
If your overall health is good for 95 and the cataract is significantly affecting you, it is reasonable to consider. Pseudoexfoliation, a condition of deposition of fibers on internal structures of the eye, does make cataract surgery more difficult, but only your surgeon can give you a personalized assessment of your potential for complications in surgery.
Dear Dr. Roach: Is viral meningitis deadly?
Dear B.R.: Meningitis, infection of the lining of the brain, is feared because when it is caused by bacteria, in can be fatal, sometimes within hours. Vaccines have helped reduce mortality from bacterial meningitis.
Viral meningitis, sometimes called aseptic meningitis, along with other kinds of nonbacterial meningitis, is much less worrisome and is usually not fatal. However, it often is not clear from the clinical presentation alone.
For this reason, a rapid evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid, from a lumbar puncture ("spinal tap") needs to be done. Frequently, treatment for bacterial meningitis is begun immediately, and stopped after 48 hours or so if the results show it is viral meningitis.
The most common viruses to cause meningitis are enteroviruses (especially in the spring and fall), but herpesviruses, HIV and mumps virus also can cause meningitis. When the virus (especially Herpes simplex) infects not just the meninges, but the brain itself, it is called encephalitis or meningoencephalitis, and that is very dangerous.
Herpes meningitis and meningoencephalitis are treated by antiviral drugs.
Dear Dr. Roach: I was reading a column of yours this week, talking about food and the possible dangers of plastic. I wonder about medicine and vitamins that are placed in plastic capsules and swallowed? How safe can that be?
Dear J.J.: I have been surprised by how many people have questions about the safety of plastics in food and medicine.
As for your question about the capsules themselves, although they look like plastic, they usually are made from gelatin (animal protein) or plant polysaccharides. They are absorbable by the body.
As for the plastic bottles or blister packs the capsules are packaged in, you needn't worry; they are safe for storing food.

Lucile got her first kiss tonight./
Written on top of page: Lucile got her first kiss tonight.
Sun. Mar. 16, 1941
Dear Diary,
What a day! This morning Lucile told me that Wayne & Leigh were up there after grange and stayed until 2:00. Genny said that they thought they were going to have company for breakfast but they did manage to get away just before they cut the first grapefruit. I wasn't quite sure then that they had been there.
They wanted us to go tonight with them. I finally thought an excuse up and before I even got a chance to spring it, just that they wanted us to go, Mom looked relieved and said that it was too slushy to walk over to Cornwalls.
So I got ready and began to think they weren't coming. I got madder and madder. Then there was a knock at the door and then it was only Oliver Amesburry after milk. Then I just let him out and there stood Leigh. So I went. We went and then there were no seats so they put chairs in the middle aisle. So there we sat
____________ ________________
Seat |L| |me| seat_____
|W| |Lucille.|
I'll tell what happened later. I've go to go to school
I'm not sure that I entirely like the way we were sitting on the way back. It took matters just a little too far but I don't know. At least he's a perfect gentleman.
I have his ring now. Mine too!
Well, this is some time later. Perhaps I'll be more sane now.
We had got seated nicely when they began to take a roll-call of churches. They called Richburg first and we stood up. (All of us.) Then they called the rest. He didn't call West Clarksville. Then he asked us if there was anyone who hadn't stood. That Leslie Richmond, he's an usher, said that those two girls in the center isle [sic] hadn't stood. Mr. Shreckingross said, "How about it Miss Cady?" I said, "Why, we stood up."
Then they asked the choir, it was up front, to sing. It did but first Mr. Abbey made us come up front. Everyone laughed. It was awful.
Boy Lucile got some looks during church tonight. I don't think she saw them.
We came out and found it snowing hard. It was terrible driving. We even had to stop occasionally. We came home by Obi, the Haskill, and Little Genesee. It was only because we had to see if Pat had found a way home from Genessee. He had!
We went up around by Jones'. We got up to Corbins and Wayne stopped. We'd been teasing him about her. We stayed for some time. Then we took Lucile home and came on down.
Just after we had got into the car at West Clarksville Leigh said, "Want a good ring?," and gave me his. I didn't even offer him mine. I was mad!
I left my Bible in the car.
I'd better quit.

Write up on ServeUp from student leader, Heather:
"I can say with 100% certainty that it was the absolute best week of my entire life.
I convinced four of my sorority sisters to go on ServeUp and that it is the best way to spend spring break. My sisters opened up and we talked about deeper personal brokenness that we have faced in our lives and where we see God fitting into that picture, but also how we can fit into God's greater plans. I have been transformed by God's love and I wanted to share that with them; I wanted the same healing and fulfillment for them. At the end of the week we were able to make commitments for our return to campus and also for the rest of our lives. One of my friends had been skeptical about faith and God and at the end of the week she decided to commit to seeing what Christianity could look like for her and to continue learning back on campus. Two other group members decided to recommit to Jesus. I cried so many happy tears during the week because I saw God working in my sisters and felt His love pouring into them."
Write up from Heather's sorority sister, Celine:
"Going on Serve Up was one of the best decisions that I have made in my college career. I sit here thinking about that trip and wondering how one week can change me so much as a person. I really wasn't sure what to expect and was quite nervous. But I can say now, I'm so happy that I did. There is nothing like the feeling of God's love that I experienced during ServeUp."
Heather and Celine are students and the University of Connecticut.

Suspicious consumers boost bank complaints figures
The rise of savvy shoppers in the UK has put banks under pressure to improve their products and services.
Recent research from the Banking Code Standards Board has shown a 50% increase in complaints against high street banks, showing consumers are prepared to speak out about supposed unfair treatment from their banks. Stuart Glendinning, director at price comparison site, moneysupermarket.com, says the increase in complaints is significant, with most concerning interest rates and penalty charges.
"Though consumers may consider these unfair," he continues, "they have not themselves increased to such a degree – it is worth looking at what might have prompted this sudden upsurge."
According to Glendinning, the proliferation of comparison sites and best buy tables available to consumers is part of the reason, as they promote a greater awareness of what products are available in the market. He explains: "They not only aid people when they want to make a financial purchase by allowing them to compare the market, but also fulfil another important role by allowing existing customers, who don't necessarily want to switch, to check how good a deal they are already receiving."
Another piece of research, this time from Moneyfacts.co.uk, has found that 46% of consumers don't trust their bank. A further 58% of respondents think branch-based banking will completely disappear in the future.
Emma Butler, editor at Moneyfacts.co.uk, says: "This percentage of consumers not trusting their bank is unsurprising – it is not often that banks get positive PR. However, the reasons behind this lack of trust may be concerning. With people increasingly voicing their dissatisfaction, banks are being forced to make changes to the way in which they work."
Butler cites Lloyds' recent decision to introduce instant interest payments on deposited cheques as a prime example of these changes. She also says consumers' belief that branch banking will disappear could be down to the level of closures already announced in recent years or the increasing popularity of alternative routes, such as the internet or telephone banking.
But, whatever the reason, Glendinning issues a stark warning for the banking sector: "What is clear is that the banks need to be careful because customers are becoming more savvy in terms of shopping around and/or complaining. Gone are the days when banks could get away with offering unattractive terms."

Why has obesity and heart ailments become this sort of a large issue? Although the stats are apparent, men and women still refuse to alter their existence kinds.
Taking in balanced foods may perhaps become a struggle, specifically when there are so numerous rapid foods places to eat all over the place we flip. Normally men and women make excuses like they will not have time to get balanced foods, it is really not that accessible, or that they will not know how to prepare it. Having said that, there are just as numerous supermarkets that inventory contemporary make as there are rapid foods outlets, so accessibility is a weak justification.
The amount at which obesity in young children is growing is additional stunning than that in adults. But what is the root of this dilemma. One simply cannot definitely blame the young children as they study from their moms and dads. Kids are additional possible to eat unhealthy foods if their moms and dads do.
The advantages of ingesting a balanced food plan include residing a for a longer period existence, sensation happier, getting vitality, pounds decline, and a balanced physical appearance. Processed foods decrease the top quality of our lives, so ingesting balanced foods signifies we can better combat ailments and live for a longer period.

Eggs and entire wheat bread or bran muffins is additional filling. Taking in cereals or oatmeal is also better than ingesting a fatty breakfast or even no breakfast.
For the duration of the working day you want to eat meals that have loads of starch because they have electricity. Breads, cereals, rice, potatoes and pasta will do the trick on the other hand, remain within the limitations. Do not more than eat just eat ample to maintain your electricity.
You really should also check out to eat as significantly fruits and vegetables as possible all over the working day. One really should at minimum pack in five portions. Stay away from ingesting a large amount of meats alternatively pick out fish as a balanced alternative.

Good news, all you weirdo Frisco dwellers (and yes, we know you hate it when people say "Frisco"–that's why we keep doing it): There are still some badges left for the 20th annual Noise Pop Festival that will get you into Bimbo's 365 Club on Feb. 21st to see the Flaming Lips perform their 1999 classic album The Soft Bulletin in its entirety. And while not quite as weird as a 24-hour song encased in a human skull, The Soft Bulletin is an undisputed psych-rock masterpiece that should make for a pretty fascinating live listening experience. Even those stingy bastards at Pitchfork gave it a perfect 10.0 rating.
For those of you not familiar with Noise Pop: It's sort of San Francisco's version of the much more crowded and over-commercialized South by Southwest, a festival that's spread out into venues all over the city instead of some dusty park with overpriced food vendors. Now in its 20th year, the 2012 edition of Noise Pop also features TWBITW favorites Die Antwoord along with such less weird but undeniably awesome acts as Sleigh Bells, Built to Spill, Atlas Sound, Matthew Dear and Archers of Loaf. Last we checked, $200 badges are still available that will get you into the entire festival, including the Lips. The whole thing lasts Feb. 21-26. If you decide to skip the Lips, the whole thing will only set you back $150–but why would you want to do that?
Jake and I will most likely not be there, sadly, because we're broke as fuck. Unless we can convince them to let us in free and "report" on the whole thing. Isn't that what all the other music blogs do?
We'll play this post out with "Waitin' for a Superman," one of our favorite Soft Bulletin tracks. It's gettin' heavy!

Women and Goodbyes and Purposeful Relationships
At the risk of sounding incredibly cheesy, there's just something about the bonds between women. It doesn't matter if it's mother and daughter, sisters, friends, co-workers; when women find commonality and spend time together then the world is a better place. There is more laughter, more smiles, more things get done, and life seems a bit more doable.
I remember the moment I really owned this concept. It appeared in a goodbye.
The last night of my freshman year of college was over. It was the morning after, Chrestman second floor north was a deserted wasteland of empty dorm rooms, and our cars were packed to the brim with dirty laundry and mementos of a year well spent. We had foolishly stayed up all night long reminiscing and eating cheese out of a can, had scratched our names in the closet for future generations to find, and there wasn't anything left but to say good-bye and leave.
So we stalled.
But, eventually, we had to say goodbye. It was only for a few months, but it felt like we were going to be parted for eternity. Who was going to IM me from next door? Who was I going to walk to the cafeteria with so I didn't have to eat alone? Who was I going to prank like it was my job?
What was I going to do without them?
It all felt so deeply final. Here I had found my proverbial life soul mates, and now I was going to have to say goodbye.
Besides proving that I erred on the dramatic as a nineteen year old, looking back I know why I had "all the feels" that day. I had truly bonded with these women. We had lived inseparably for a year, and it had made a huge impact on my life.
In saying goodbye I felt the depth of what they meant to me (and, praise Jesus, still do), and I wanted to grasp it for as long and as deep as I possibly could.
And isn't that what true friendship and communion with other women is really all about? Finding that moment that you don't want to say goodbye.
There's an importance in those relationships that is easy to skip over or take for granted. Luckily, I was reminded of that depth while studying Titus chapter two.
We know Paul had taken time to communicate to Titus some directives he needed to pass on to groups within the church in Crete. And there are a couple of verses dedicated to women - specifically in verses 3-4.
While I read, I got the feeling that Titus was supposed to remind the women of Crete that their relationships with each other were purposeful. He saw the opportunity for them to use their love in friendship to push one another in their pursuit of a godly life that honors the Lord.
I thought this was interesting because he didn't have to tell the women to be in relationship with other women - basically, Paul and Titus knew that was already happening. That's how women have always worked, even in Biblical times. We find each other, and we hold on. His reminders to women weren't about finding relationships but about godly purpose within relationships that already exist.
And, I began to wonder if that was a needful reminder for the church in Crete, what does that mean for us today?
So, I took a closer look at those verses directed to women specifically:
"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled." Titus 2:3-4
Those are some pretty specific instructions. When I dug a bit deeper, I learned a little bit more about what Paul meant:
- Reverent in their behavior - respectful, devoted
- Not malicious gossips - not slanderers or one who falsely accuses and divides people without reason
- Not enslaved to too much wine - not bound to / under direction of / obedient to
- Teaching what is good - with words and actions
- That they may encourage/train the young women
- Encourage to be sensible - discreet, has a sound mind, limits own freedom and ability with proper thinking, demonstrates self government with proper restraint on all passions and desires, one who voluntarily places limitations on their own freedom
- Encourage to be pure - chaste, freedom from defilements or impurities
- Encouraged to be workers at home - hard workers, set an example and do your job well, have a good work ethic
- Encouraged to be kind - good, benevolent, profitable, useful, doer of good, friend
None of these mandates from Titus would be new to the believer in Crete or to us. But what is new is the context - instructions in the context of relationship. Older and younger women living life together, helping each other to pursue holiness. It translates to a purposeful relationship - one that leads by example and offers accountability.
While we've been reading and studying Titus, the idea of influence has to be at the forefront of our minds. And since we are women and are already in relationship with numerous other women, then the next step is to take a good strong look at how we are using our influence.
- Are we different from what the world teaches women should be - petty, materialistic, catty, gossipy, two-faced, simple-minded, wishy-washy?
- Are we leading by example as women of Christ so that our sisters in Christ can emulate our behavior?
- Are we surrounding ourselves with women who can offer true accountability and call us out if we need it?
- Are we humble enough to listen?
There are so many women who have such a profound impact on my life - women who I hold close and to whom I never want to say goodbye. These women laugh with me, they walk with me through hard times, they learn God's Word with me, they point out my moments of compromise, they teach me so many things by just living lives that honor our Lord, and I am better because of them.
My deepest desire and hope is they can say the same things about me.
Another desire I have is that you have the same hope within your relationships. Just like Titus spent time admonishing the women in Crete, let me admonish you - choose to see purpose in your relationships, specifically with women. You will always be an older woman to someone and a younger woman to someone else. Live life together and pursue holiness together. It may change everything.
Let's live so that it's so very hard to say goodbye.
Amy Bufkin has loved Jesus for as long as she can remember. Even though she basically lived at her local church growing up, her faith and relationship with The Lord was incredibly shallow until her early twenties. It was then Amy learned how to study her Bible, began to truly commune with God, and her shallow faith began to deepen as she got to know her Lord and Savior. Now her passion is to communicate the same truths that changed her life to young women in as many ways as possible. You can find her on Instagram | Facebook

Successful organizations have learned how to engage everybody in improvement and innovation. That's easier said than done when leaders and change agents have bad habits, including pushing change on others, from the top down or from a position of expertise. Having the "right" solution to a problem or the "right" strategy for an organization means nothing if you can't get alignment and buy-in from others. In this keynote, Mark Graban shares personal stories and practical strategies for shifting your approach to change, combining proven methods used in multiple industries.
Leaders are often caught between being short on time and having to make accurate assessments of performance. By using simple statistical methods, we can avoid overreacting to every up and down in our performance measures, though, saving time and reducing frustration by not asking for "special cause" explanations for data points that are essentially noise in the system. Mark Graban will share expert tactics for shifting leadership focus from the old standby of drilling into random metrics to instead using data points correctly to systematically improve overall performance for the long term.
Webinar examples of this type of talk for healthcare and a broader "Lean" audience
As health systems are focusing more on a balanced set of improvement metrics from the front line to the boardroom, it's important that "data-driven" decision making is based on a statistically-valid view of performance metrics. Without the skills and mindsets discussed in this talk, leaders at all levels risk creating waste that's caused by overreacting to every fluctuation in performance. This talk describes a practical methodology for evaluating performance measures that allows organizations to ask the right questions and to focus on improvement in a way that best improves outcomes.
Leading healthcare organizations are discovering the benefits of engaging all staff members and clinicians in ongoing quality and process improvement efforts. Some organizations are saving millions each year based on the small ideas implemented by staff and managers. But, it sounds easier than it really is. In this talk, Mark Graban describes key principles, the mechanics of a working Kaizen approach, and the important role and behaviors required of leaders at all levels.
Versions of this talk include short overviews, half-day interactive workshops, and longer working sessions that help you start creating a culture of continuous improvement – today.
How does Lean help hospitals? Lean helps your leaders and staff work together to improve patient safety and quality, reduce waiting times, reduce cost, and more! In this talk, Mark Graban provides an engaging overview of the Lean methodology and its powerful applications in various healthcare settings. Moving beyond mere tools, Graban's talk illustrates the foundations of Lean as a management system and an organizational culture, using examples and lessons learned from his own work and leading hospitals around the world.
This talk can be anything from a one-hour overview, a longer in-depth session, or a facilitated discussion with senior leaders that helps clarify your organization's plan and progress.
"Lean" is a holistic approach to quality and process improvement. Lean combines tools with a management system, all built on a consistent philosophy. In a Lean environment, we're driven to focus on the customer and the things that matter most. In hospitals, that includes patient safety, patient flow, and patient satisfaction. How can we reduce risk and harms, reduce delays, and reduce annoyances that lead to low marks from patients? We can do so, in part, by engaging everybody in the improvement process.
In an era of value-based purchasing, readmission rate penalties, and HCAHPS scores factoring into reimbursement, focusing on the patient leads to better financial performance. Through Lean, lower costs are an end result of doing everything else well… putting the patient first. In this talk, Mark Graban will explain these principles, share examples, and facilitate discussions that will make this all very practical for you.
As organizations progress with Lean, it's natural for them to shift from just implementing a few tools and completing a few projects. The best Lean organizations have embraced "Lean thinking" and that includes the key mindsets that shape our culture and drive the behaviors that create change and sustain excellence.
In this talk, Mark Graban shares key Lean mindsets, pairing the important conceptual background of Lean with real-world stories that bring these principles to life, vividly contrasting traditional healthcare thinking with Lean thinking. Using the mindsets explained in this talk will increase your chances for success, speeding up your Lean journey.
This talk can be tailored to your particular hospital or medical specialty, with examples that will be relevant and engaging.
Healthcare professionals often say things like "we don't want assembly line medicine" or "we can't turn our hospital into a factory." What fears are behind those statements? Do people in health care picture factories as cold, robotic, frantic, unthinking workplaces?
Actually, a Lean factory is one where employees always have the supplies, equipment, and time needed to do their job the right way, safely, every time. A Lean factory is one where employees quickly speak up when they see a problem (or even when they make a mistake) and managers run to help. A Lean factory is a more humanistic environment that produces better quality, lower cost, and happier employees. The same can be true in healthcare!
In this keynote, Mark Graban talks about the culture and characteristics of Lean factories, giving examples of how patients and staff members would be better off with the adoption of the Lean culture and management system – to help hospitals be the highest quality and most caring environments, as well as being more satisfying workplaces for all.
You want to be "Lean," not "lame," right? In this engaging talk, Mark shares stories and examples that illustrate the difference between true Lean management practices and methods that engage employees, as opposed to those that are, instead, "L.A.M.E." The acronym that Mark coined, which stands for "Lean As Misguidedly Executed," is meant to describe practices that might sound "Lean," but actually anger and alienate employees, customers, or shareholders. This keynote will help you prevent repeating some of the painful and expensive mistakes made by others.
How often do we hear phrases like "If only people would just do what they're told" and "They're being resistant to change?" Organizations with better quality and higher levels of performance make the shift from a culture of compliance to a culture of continuous improvement.
Learn how to start or sustain this culture change through the proven methods shared in Mark Graban's talk. Using real-life examples, Mark shares practical approaches for changing the way you lead to engage everybody in ongoing and sustainable continuous improvement. The talk also introduces some innovation mindsets and tactics from a surprising place: clinical counseling and addiction therapy. This "Motivational Interviewing" approach has helped Toyota and other companies realize that "resistance to change" is actually a natural part of the change process. What might appear to be "resistance" should be the start of a conversation about change, not the end.
The suggestion box is dead — but long live improvement! Today's leading businesses are engaging employees in a different style of improvement called Kaizen. In this talk, you will learn proven improvement methods and the leadership styles and behaviors that support them. In a Kaizen culture, you don't have to force people to improve – they willingly participate. Employees, customers, and the business all win. Let Mark Graban show you how.
What's Your Problem? Important Ideas for Better Problem Solving
What's your problem? Sometimes that problem includes not understanding your problem well to begin with.
In the Lean management methodology, people often talk about root cause problem solving, including simple and proven methods like "the 5 whys." Before asking "why?" it's critically important to accurately and precisely define your problem. Tips like these, illustrated by examples from multiple organizations, will help your leaders and staff become better problem solvers, which means your organization will be more successful.
In this presentation, Mark Graban raises serious points in a humorous way. Why do healthcare organizations so frequently rely on posted signs, warnings and "be careful" exhortations with staff members? Mark presents a practical taxonomy of these signs and leads a discussion about alternative approaches that identify the root causes and truly help prevent these problems that harm patients or staff far too often.
"Mark was a very charismatic and professional speaker. He engaged with the attendees outside of his session. He related his personal stories to our attendees industry really well."

Thailand itself has a GST known as VAT (Value Added Tax) Quite similar to our GST. But there are exceptions.
According to here
VAT does not includes
- Small entrepreneur whose annual turnover is less than 1.2 Million Baht;
- Sales and import of unprocessed agricultural products and related goods such as fertilizers, animal feeds, pesticides, etc.;
- Sales and import of newspapers, magazines, and textbooks;
- Certain basic services such as;
transportation - domestic transportation and international transportation by way of land,
Healthcare services provided by government and private hospitals as well as clinics,v
Educational services provided by government and private schools and other recognized educational institutions,
Professional services - Medical and auditing services, lawyer services in court and other similar professional services that have laws regulating such professions,
Renting of immovable properties.
- Cultural services such as amateur sports, services of libraries, musuems, zoos;
- Services in the nature of employment of labour, research and technical services and services of public entertainers;
- Goods exempted from import duties under the Industrial Estate law imported into an Export Processing Zones (EPZs) and under Chapter 4 of the Customs Tafiff Act;
- Imported goods that are kept under the supervision of the Customs Department which will be re-exported and be entitled to a refund for import duties; and
- Other services such as religious and charitable services, services of government agencies and local authorities.
I really really like point number 4. No tax for medical and educational services. I had paid my hospital bills for my baby here and wife's grandpa. NO VAT. If the list could include utility such as Water and Electricity, its even better.
In short, if the gahmen really want to help the poor or the whole Singapore population, strip GST from utility bills, transportation, medical and education services. You can still raise the 2% GST and forget about the help package as promised. The people will be grateful, I too will vote for PAP if that happens(though I doubt so they will do it) :)

Since I was a young boy, a certain place has not only held a special place in my heart but maintained a constant pull at my soul. Nestled in the Southern Appalachians, it straddles two states along high peaks which tower over the landscape interspersed with coves and valleys. Wildlife thrives in this unspoiled wilderness found within just a few hours of most of the East Coast. I have considered it my second home throughout my life. Now as a parent, I have shared it with my own kids in the hope they might one day do the same.
In these pages, you will find memories of this place written so they may endure indefinitely. Here you will find stories of wildlife, backwoods trails, quiet moments, and humorous escapades. Explore cabins and high peaks or stand eagerly in anticipation of the perfect picture.
This place of which I speak is one of the most visited national parks in the country, but most people only give it a cursory drive through so they can say they have been there. I hope this book results in your decision to take the extra time to stop your car, enjoy, and create memories of your own. Maybe it will trigger your own memories from earlier days temporarily forgotten by the passage of time.
After it rains or sometimes at dusk or dawn, thick smoke-like vapor clings to the ridges and valleys here. The Cherokee referred to this area as Shaconage or "place of blue smoke". Fall in love, as I have, with this land Under the Smoke – the Great Smoky Mountains.
To our Lord and God,
for creating such beautiful places for us,
for blessing my life to experience what I have,
for the gift of writing,
for through Him all things are possible,
To Aimee,
my wonderful wife,
my soul mate and companion,
for believing in me so I could once again believe in myself,
for showing me my own dreams are worthwhile,
for sharing the passion of the outdoors,
for wanting to see just beyond the next ridge,
for loving what we discovered together,
To my parents,
for sharing this place and giving me
the chance to make it part of my life,
To ALL my kids, blood or otherwise,
for they are all part of me and part of my life,
for without ya'll many of these memories would not exist,
nor would the chance of others yet to come,
To all my grandchildren,
whom I have yet to share this with fully,
To my closest friends who have always been there for me,
for sticking with me through it all,
for your love, guidance, patience, and faith in me,
for never holding back and for always being honest with your opinions,
each of you are family as well…

Ad spending to grow at 8.4% in 2018 in India: Zenith report3 min read . Updated: 04 Dec 2017, 01:31 AM IST
Advertising expenditure in India which will be led by TV growth is expected to reach Rs58,422 crore next year, says the media agency's report
Advertising expenditure in India which will be led by TV growth is expected to reach Rs58,422 crore next year, says the media agency's report
Advertisement spending in India is expected to grow 8.4% in 2018, led by growth in television ads, Publicis Groupe-run media agency Zenith forecasted.
Advertising expenditure in India is expected to reach Rs58,422 crore next year, the agency said. The estimated growth rate for 2018 is about three percentage points lower than the 11.2% forecast for 2017, when ad spending was estimated to touch Rs54,344 crore.
The media agency on Monday released its Advertising Expenditure Forecast report, stating that 2017 will close at Rs53,918 crore, registering a slightly slower pace of growth on account of demonetization introduced in November 2016. Internet ads will account for 11.6% of the spending this year.
India is one of the few large markets where all traditional media platforms will grow, the report said. Television advertising is expected to grow 9%, radio 10%, and print, cinema and outdoor at 5% each. Calling India a leading digital market, the report said internet advertising will grow at 20.4% in 2018 and internet will account for 15.4% of total ad spends in the country by 2020.
"Growing internet penetration accelerated by operators such as Jio will significantly enhance digital ad spends in India and give access to previously untapped markets," said Tanmay Mohanty, group chief executive, Zenith India.
"India has seen some fluidity in overall ad-expenditure but remains one of the fastest growing advertising markets globally. With the dust settling down on demonetization and goods and services tax (GST), we expect a measured recovery on ad spends. Consumer confidence is on the rise. In 2018, mobile handsets, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), automobiles, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), travel and tourism and political ads will drive up the pace of ad spends."
According to the report, India occupies the fourth spot in the top 10 contributors to global ad spend growth between 2017 and 2020 along with other markets such as the US, China, Indonesia, the UK and Japan. It also figures in 'Rising Markets' along with China, Indonesia, Brazil and Russia, which are expected to contribute 33% of new ad spend over the next three years.
The report predicts that global ad expenditure will grow at 4.1% to hit $578 billion by the end of 2018. The forecast is down by 0.1 percentage point from the forecast published in September after small downgrades in North America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific, and upgrades in Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe. The findings further state that advertising expenditure will grow more slowly than the global economy as a whole till 2020.
"The numbers are ballpark and there's no reason to believe that it won't hold up. Google has declared Rs7,208.9 crore turnover in India for the year ended March 2017. This is a pretty big number by the dominant player in digital advertising landscape in India, which also has other players like Facebook and Twitter further growing the market.
The digital ad spend will only soar further as internet adoption grows owing to cheaper data and smartphones. While the report states that the television is still the biggest medium in terms of ad spend, I believe digital will definitely overtake print and pose a serious challenge to television by 2020. With the onset of over the top (OTT) players like Netflix and data becoming cheaper, appointment viewing is becoming restricted, at least in urban India, except for sports matches and award shows.
TV, as a medium, is evolving and consumers want on-demand entertainment, fuelling the growth of players like Amazon Prime and Hotstar. Therefore, digital is where the consumer is moving and ad spends have to follow them as well," said Amardeep Singh, chief executive, Interactive Avenues, an IPG Group owned digital marketing agency.

A pedantic correction. The first sentence of this piece is factually incorrect. The study conducted by Barnett et al (2012) (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0140673612602402) included 1,751,841 individuals, almost half of the quoted figure of "over three million people".
This is no way detracts from the argument of the editorial, nor the validity of Barnett et al's findings.

Models for integrated care have been increasing in prominence in healthcare organisations worldwide as they hold great opportunity for the delivery of seamless, efficient and effective "patient care" whilst at the same time controlling expenditure, enhancing communication and optimizing consumer participation. Integral and built into effective provision of integrated services is a robust and agile information technology platform, able to host numerous cycles of improvement innovation that helps to create learning health systems.
As Oliver correctly points out, it is no longer best practice to continue on the current path of reflexive and incident initiated patient care provided in silos – for reasons of increasing healthcare expenditure, health care wastage, patient outcome and patient experience. In addition, opportunities for converting data to knowledge and research abound within integrated service models of care.
Strategies for the future in many organisations should include provision of truly integrated care. With an ageing population with significant comorbidities, health needs are no longer related to single organ systems and require complex solutions. These must incorporate strategies of prevention and healthy lifestyle promotion, consideration of the social determinants of health, care delivery within the patient's home and community and outside the walls of large hospitals as well as smoothing the road at the end of life. By using predictive analytics and incorporating best practice and a process of constant improvement, healthcare needs to evolve to being sustainable yet better, safer and smarter care for all.

I believe that this company is really a worthy place in the market. All pretty good work, and brings good money. Even a novice would be quite simple to work with this broker as for me.
Although a new entrant to the binary options industry, ExpertOption is fast becoming a well known brand among the binary options trading community. While the services offered by ExpertOption are available on other binary platforms, they have managed to differentiate themselves by providing their traders with the ability to conduct social trading. This makes ExpertOption one of the handfuls of new binary brokers that is able to provide social trading to their clients. Social trading has in fact been around for a few years among spot forex brokers. But this form of trading is a new concept for binary options traders as it was only recently that the platform providers and brokers have decided to incorporate social trading onto their trading platforms.
ExpertOption is regulated by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission, an agency that was established in 1993. This small island has become increasingly popular among forex and binary options broker to locate their operations, due to the numerous tax benefits Vanuatu has to offer. For example, companies established on Vanuatu do not have to pay any income tax or capital gain tax.
In addition to the regulatory oversight provided by VFSC, the Russian Financial Market Relations Regulation Center (FMRRC) also supervises ExpertOption. This is an independent organization that monitors and regulates the financial services industry in order to ensure that its members maintain the quality of the services they provide. Its key objectives are to provide traders with maximum security as well as to provide its members with compliance certification.

As 2016 comes to a close, there is no doubt that this year was difficult for many in the LGBTQ and allied community. After a year of such celebration and momentous progress in 2015, 2016 was a shocking wake-up call to many about the realities that LGBTQ people face. From the rise in anti-LGBTQ legislation to the horrific shooting at Pulse, from the incidents of anti-transgender violence to the election of a presidential ticket that threatened to undermine equality and justice, we know that our job is more important now than ever before.
However, through these difficult times, we witnessed countless moments of inspiration. Throughout the year, time and time again, we saw people stand up and do what was right. Whether they were celebrities, politicians, a friend or just an acquaintance, we saw people stand up for equality and inspire us all. Their stories made us cry, gave us hope and reminded us that love will conquer hate.
On June 12, our world was turned upside down. A horrific shooting at Pulse, an LGBTQ nightclub in Orlando, shook the nation to its core. Forty-nine innocent LGBTQ people and allies, mostly young and Latinx, were taken from their friends, families and our community far too soon.
As we learned the names and stories of the 49 individuals who died in the tragedy, we also heard incredible stories about the heroes who helped save the lives of countless survivors of the attack. We heard about a war veteran who led dozens to safety, a man who silenced a fellow club-goer so the shooter would not hear her screams, and a mom who pushed her son out of harm's way so that he would live.
As memorials and tributes were held around the country, 49 celebrities worked with HRC and Emmy Award-winning Ryan Murphy and Ned Martel to share personal stories about each victim.
In the following months, we heard more and more detailed stories about survivors, the victims and their families.
In September, Pulse shooting survivor Brandon Wolf took over HRC's Twitter handle to talk about the loss of his friend, Drew Leinonen, and the need to end gun and hate violence in America.
Hey Twitter. I'm @BrandonJWolf, a @pulseorlando shooting survivor here for a #HRCTwitterTakeover to talk about my friend Drew & gun violence pic.twitter.com/Zna8LFr8MG

We were brought to tears when Ellen DeGeneres and Katy Perry surprised Tony Marrero, another survivor of the Pulse shooting.

We celebrated when Zumba instructor Angel Colon took his first steps after suffering multiple gunshot wounds and a broken leg during the Pulse shooting.
"Yay!" indeed! Congratulations to #Pulse survivor, Angel Colon. Your determination inspires us all! #SundayFeels https://t.co/zTLG9a7dQc
— HumanRightsCampaign (@HRC) August 28, 2016
HRC also had the opportunity to meet and hear from Christine Leinonen, the mother of Christopher "Drew" Leinonen — a young man shot and killed along with his boyfriend, Juan Guerrero, at Pulse. Her resilience has been astounding, publicly sharing love and support for her son while tears stream down her face.
"Christopher was a proud gay man," she said at HRC's National Dinner. "And I couldn't have loved him more."
While it is still so difficult to grapple with the reality that so many people were targeted and killed because of who they are and whom they love, these inspirational stories and people kept our hearts full. Their determination and willpower will continue to motivate us into 2017 and beyond. Thank you to those survivors, families, loved one, friends and allies who rallied after Pulse to share the victims' stories. We will continue to fight for full equality in their honor.
Follow along with HRC's blog in the coming days as we recognize the people who inspired us and gave us hope, courage and strength in 2016.

Dear Cantor Matt,
My daughter is not a great Hebrew reader, so I asked our cantor to help her out with her haftarah by giving her a transliterated, sounded-out copy in English. He said that it's against his policy to do that, and that she has to make her way through the Hebrew. Why?
— Wants to buy a vowel
Dear Vowel,
This is a tough one. At first glance, it seems needlessly harsh to make your daughter suffer through all the Hebrew reading, which is obviously a struggle for her. Why not, as you logically ask, provide her with a copy of her haftarah and other prayers using transliteration? That way, she can concentrate on learning the proper melodies and strive for perfect accuracy. She will sound great, and best of all, no one in the congregation will have any idea what piece of paper she's reading. Hebrew is Hebrew, and it will sound just fine to anyone listening. Right?
Ah, but there is the problem, and I think it's what your cantor is trying to communicate. It feels like your daughter is merely memorizing some lines for a play if she does away with all the Hebrew text and simply sounds out some English syllables.
This reminds me of a movie where the action hero finds himself in another country and conveniently speaks the native language. It must have been hard for the actor, who in real life doesn't speak that language, to learn his lines. He might have worked with a language coach to get the accent just right, and he most likely memorized a bunch of lines that sounded like nonsense to him but make sense to someone who's fluent. But in the end, he's just an actor playing a part and reciting a bunch of dialogue that he doesn't understand.
If your daughter reads her Hebrew "lines" from a transliterated "script," isn't that sort of the same thing?
Of course, we know that the average bar or bat mitzvah kid doesn't speak Hebrew and has no idea what most of the words mean, no matter how they're written out. But the act of writing them down in English is creating one more step away from the words' and the ritual's true meaning. I would much prefer to hear your daughter struggle a little through the Hebrew reading, mistakes and all, than to hear a flawless performance of the same words sounded out using English letters.
Furthermore, would you believe that it might be more difficult for your daughter to decipher the transliteration than to simply decode the Hebrew?
Because the English will be transliterated with strangely spelled syllables strung together, kids often have a lot of trouble pronouncing those words correctly. Sometimes, a student, while practicing at home, writes down a lot of the words with English letters, and then uses those notes to help him sing the haftarah — in effect, providing for himself what you want your cantor to give to your daughter. And in my office, when a kid does that, I still hear him struggling and trying to figure out what he wrote. So, I cover up his markings and say: "Just use the Hebrew." Most of the time, it sounds better!
It's never a problem to sound out the occasional Hebrew word. And obviously, I'm painting with broad strokes. This answer might not apply if there's a significant learning disability or other important issue that's involved.
Yet, if this is not the issue, trust your cantor. Chances are, he's got a good read on reading.
Cantor Matt Axelrod (Congregation Beth Israel, Scotch Plains, NJ) is the author of "Surviving Your Bar/Bat Mitzvah: The Ultimate Insider's Guide." He's always happy to hear from you and he might answer your question in a future column. You can email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A day of celebration and dedication to the heroes and survivors of 9/11 is suddenly disrupted by a long-planned terrorist attack.
From the tumultuous battlefields of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi deserts to the unsuspecting shores of the United States, Tommy Anderson brings to life an unsettling account of what could actually happen when thousands of sleeping warriors infiltrate the very fabric of American military and public safety agencies.
Fueled by increasing acts of seemingly unrelated terrorism by ISIS militants, and unfettered over a couple decades of political unpreparedness, the Haboob Wind furiously builds to a suspenseful, violent climax. Don't miss the page-turning, twist of events as three retired war buddies join forces to battle the storm.

I wanted to find a way to emphasize bread in the microwave lacks a crispy, brown crust, but still be edible.
After searching the Internet, I found one on allrecipes website.
We were surprised how well it rose in the microwave after 1 minute on 50% power. It rested for 10 minutes after the 1 minute cook time. We went through this process twice before it doubled in size.
Here is the dough doubled in size ready for microwave cooking.
Here is the microwave bread recipe we tried in Foods 2.We decided to make it with melted, cooled butter and a cinnamon sugar mixture to make it cinnamon swirl.
Here's what it looked like after microwaving for only 5 minutes and resting 5 minutes. It was a nice soft texture that was not doughy, which surprised us all.
Like I said earlier, it tasted like fresh bread without the crusty brown exterior.
We are trying the bread maker recipes next. We've got our eye on a Hawaiian bread machine recipe to compare with the microwave bread.

This question already has an answer here:
- What are bitcoin "confirmations"? 2 answers
I have a hard time understanding the meaning of below sentence:
"To confirm within 48 blocks, a transaction fee of 1 satoshi/byte is required."
I have 2 questions here:
1) Does this mean that the first confirmation of the transaction will probably happen within attachment of the next 48 blocks?
2) As soon as the first confirmation is received, is it guaranteed that this confirmation will increment with all future block attachment (which is every 10 mins)?

Memories of taking Marissa and Matt to Dr. Seuss at the Children's Museum and McDonalds; memories of dancing to Beastie Boys with Ben and Kaisha; memories of Kyle and Anna blowing their juice on my patio (pic on facebook). i guess this internet thing is pretty cool when it comes to things like these. =0) xoxoxo

April's multi-state Mega Millions jackpot reached a world-record payout of $540 million. That means the odds of winning were one te 176 million. According to Match.com, one te five relationships starts online. According to eHarmony, their webpagina is responsible for almost Five procent of marriages ter the U.S. It sounds like finding the man of your wishes online is much more realistic than winning a gigantic lottery jackpot.
But like the lottery, just because you play doesn't mean you're going to win. That's why you have to take advantage of the instruments you are given to find a successful relationship via online dating. Ladies, here are a few foolproof tips to help get the odds on your side and find Mr. Right.
1. Be on the lookout.
Just because you join an online dating webpagina and pay the monthly membership, doesn't mean the man of your fantasies is going to literally fall te your poetslap. You have to be active. Regularly browse through the profiles, response messages ter your inbox te a prompt manor, and don't flake out when a boy wants to meet ter person.
Two. Be thorough.
Consider your online dating profile like your resume. You wouldn't submit a half-completed resume if you were serious about finding a job, so why skimp on your profile? Reaction every field — even if that means writing "N/A" — and be thorough.
"Online dating is a bit like playing the lottery,
except the odds are much more te your atención to
find true love than win a half-billion dollars."
Three. Take advantage.
Not of other people but of the devices that are suggested through many online dating memberships. The legit sites usually suggest online contraptions like pro advice, guides to dating and relationship statistics. You're already paying for the service, so why not utilize it?
Four. Increase your chances.
There are dozens of dating sites geared toward specific types of people or lifestyles. If you will only date a fellow Christian, then join a Christian dating webpagina. If you only want to meet fellow single parents, then join a webpagina tailored to that. Be specific and you will have fewer profiles to sift through.
Online dating is a bit like playing the lottery, except the odds are much more ter your atención to find true love than win a half-billion dollars. Just recall to take advantage of the instruments available to you. Be thorough, be specific and do your homework. Just spil Ralph Waldo Emerson merienda said, "People only see what they are ready to see."

NETS Celebration – Slay Your Giants
Jill gives an inspiring message to NETS trainees as they go out from Pierrepont, exhorting and encouraging them to 'slay their giants'. Jill believes that its time for those who think they are the most unlikely to stand up and raise their voice in the world. The world is desperately in need of Godly leaders, followers and disciples of Jesus Christ to raise their voices and declare out the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
When it comes to the obstacles and giants that we will surely have to face, we can take great courage from the story of David & Goliath. Whether David was aware of it or not, God had been preparing David for the task ahead as he looked after his sheep in the wilderness. David rose to the challenge and without fear, he defeated Goliath, stunning both the nation of Israel and the Philistines with his faith and his courage.

Chwee Kueh Deconstructed
So one Sunday morning, I decided it was a fun experiment to try and conjure up images of warm hawker Tiong Bahru days and make Chwee Kueh.
Or not. The thing about using a recipe found on Pinterest isn't the most fail proof. The pictures look great and recipe simple enough. Except, making Chwee Kueh is actually a delicate art. They are lying when they say it is easy. Don't believe it.
I found said recipe and followed it to the T and instead of Kueh, i ended up with... glue.
It does look Instagram worthy and some have commented it looks quite the deconstructed south east asian water cake.
My good friend who is also a foodie sent me this recipe instead and it made so much more sense. I hate it when recipe over simplify it. The key word here is reduce. Which is where the kung fu of a cook comes in.
What contributed to my disaster is probably,
1. Did not use a whisk to combine the rice flour mixture. Which should have been the case.
2. The boiling water should be added to the rice flour mixture and slowly brought to the boil instead of the other way round as described by the earlier recipe.
3. The final mixture consistency needs to be the result of a reduction.
4. And finally, I used a ramikin instead of the metal cup molds. I knew it probably might not work as well but who has chwee kueh molds lying around? And in the deep south east of America, the only way to get them is through eBay shipped from China... which takes forever and a month.
But hey... pictures look great. Probably should have just chucked them in the bin instead of eating them cos I had the runs. all. freaking. day. Now I know that undercooked Chwee Kueh is bad for you. Now you know. Say no to Cui Kueh!
So ok, if you wanna have a hand at trying your own - go to this recipe. I have yet to venture again, and when I do, I will update this post with my hopefully improved results.

highlights and main attractions of kanha national park
Kanha National Park came into being on 1st June1955 and has become one of the finest tiger reserves in the whole of India. Its 940 square kilometre area is made up of two districts, forming a horseshoe shape in the state of Madhya Pradesh, 100 miles southeast of Jabalpur. The topography features rolling grasslands and bamboo forests, divided by meandering streams to create dramatic natural splendour.
These beautiful landscapes were the inspiration behind the original Jungle Book by Kipling, and play home to a huge diversity of wildlife.
