The Redemptorists at St. Peter the Apostle Church/Shrine of St. John Neumann were honored to welcome Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput as the celebrant of the 12:15 p.m. Mass on Neumann's feast day, January 5. In recent years, the archbishops of Philadelphia have made it a custom to celebrate Mass at the Shrine on that day in honor of Neumann's status as the fourth bishop of that diocese.
Archbishop Chaput has visited the Shrine several times, including on the day of his appointment to Philadelphia and during a visit from the archbishop of Prague, Czech Republic.

Inside the Panthers
Will Michael Oher still be a Panther for training camp? 'We'll have 90 on the roster'
Carolina Panthers' last day of minicamp
Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Michael Oher never made it to the practice field during this week's three-day minicamp, and it seems increasingly likely his time with the Panthers is nearing an end.
Oher reported to minicamp Tuesday and met with team doctors, but he was never spotted anywhere near the field. He remains in the concussion protocol nearly nine months after first reporting symptoms last September.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera shed little light on Oher's situation, saying he had not spoken to him this week.
"They're taking care of it," Rivera said.
It was unclear whether Rivera was referring to the doctors, the front office or some combination.
Asked if he expected to have Oher in training camp next month, Rivera said: "We're going to go into training camp with the guys that we have. We'll have 90 on the roster and we'll be ready to go with those guys."
Oher had broken off communications with the Panthers' front office before flying to Charlotte this week. General manager Dave Gettleman had gone to Nashville in early May for a lunch meeting with Oher, who spent most of the offseason there.
Oher posted – and then deleted – an Instagram photo last week of 10 prescription pill bottles with the caption: "All for the brain smh (shaking my head)."
Oher signed a three-year, $21.6 million extension last June after he started every game at left tackle during the Panthers' Super Bowl season of 2015.
The Panthers would save $4.5 million against the salary cap by cutting Oher, who would likely qualify for $1.1 million to $1.2 million per year under the NFL's injury protection benefit.
Oher also faces a July 21 trial for allegedly assaulting an Uber driver in Nashville.

Fight voter-suppressing Crosscheck at the Supreme Court
This petition had 58 supporters
The fight against Crosscheck begins with the obvious, that cheating in elections has painful consequences. Currently, as citizens have witnessed, the new president, Donald Trump --
-- supports Steve Bannon and his shocking headline, "Hoist it high and proud," praising the killing of blacks in Charleston, South Carolina
-- vows to murder the families and children of terrorist suspects
-- accuses 2.9 million Americans of committing a crime by voting for Hillary Clinton
-- accuses millions of undocumented Mexicans of being murderers and rapists
-- assaults for five years President Barack Obama on the birther issue
-- invites the assassination of Hillary Clinton with "Let's see what happens to her. Take their guns away, okay? It would be very dangerous"
-- vows to reinstate torture "a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding" in violation of international law
-- imposes a gag order on the Environmental Protection Agency that stops all new EPA webpage content, press releases, and social media posts, and freezes any grants that deal with climate change and other environmental issues
-- promotes Steve Bannon to a full member of the National Security Council, a position that out-ranks both the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Director of National Intelligence, who are demoted to part-time members
-- imposes a ban on seven Muslim-majority countries from which no immigrant has committed a terrorist act in the United States since 9/11, but imposes no ban on Saudi Arabia and three other countries, the origins of 19 terrorists who attacked on 9/11, countries where Trump also holds multi-million dollar hotel licensing deals
-- accuses 17 U.S. intelligence agencies of falsehood in Russia's hacking of the United States elections
-- attacks U.S. intelligence agencies for acting like Nazi Germany, in the (unproven) leaking of a dossier given to the FBI by Senator John McCain, alleging Russia possesses a damaging video of Trump meeting with prostitutes at a Moscow hotel
The lessons we draw continue to grow worse and worse.
But the truly painful reality is this:
Greg Palast reports a Republican system, called Crosscheck (at http://www.gregpalast.com/election-stolen-heres/), has purged --
-- 449,922 voters in Michigan, where the Trump victory margin was 13,107
-- 270,824 voters in Arizona, where the Trump victory margin was 85,257
-- 589,393 voters in North Carolina, where the Trump victory margin was 177,008
-- in a total of 28 states, Crosscheck has removed 1.1 million voters, most of these black and Hispanic
This occurrence, leading to the unwarranted term of a president such as Trump, is where we must take a stand. Immediately, please present the citizens' case against Crosscheck, and a stolen America, before the Supreme Court.

Sai Dharam Tej made an impressive debut with Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitam and followed it up with movies like Subramanyam For Sale and Supreme.
He became minimum guarantee hero in the mid table and looked promising enough to make it to the next league. However, he lost the plot with some terrible decisions that resulted in horrendous flops.
Films like Thikka, Winner and Nakshatram dented his image as well as market share to a great extent that it has shown great impact on his previous film Jawaan that struggled to make a mark at the box office.
Sai Dharam Tej lost his grip at the time when the mid table got super hot with actors like Nani, Varun Tej, Sharwanand and Vijay Deverakonda scoring blockbusters.
SDT is currently under tremendous pressure to put an end to his flop streak. His upcoming film Intelligent has a dependable VV Vinayak at the helm.
However, nothing about the film is really making an impression to create curiosity among the film buffs. Poor quality promos and weak audio isn't helping its cause. Moreover it is clashing with Tholi Prema and Gayatri that are making buzz with their promos.
Megastar's nephew cannot afford fifth flop in a row for sure. He is in dire need of a success and a flop now could affect the business of his upcoming films.
SDT is giving his best to make sure that intelligent appeal to the masses. He took a long break from Karunakaran's film shoot for the pre and post release promotions of Intelligent.

Why Glu Mobile, GoPro, and Apple are Surging
The Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen more than 24 points as of 11:35 a.m. EDT. Among active tech stocks, Glu Mobile led the way higher, while GoPro continued to rally after entering the market on Thursday. Apple also rose slightly early in the session.
Glu Mobile rises after upgrade
Glu Mobile rose more than 6.5% early in the session after Benchmark raised its rating on the stock from hold to buy. Benchmark cited positive trends in the mobile-gaming space and some success specific to Glu Mobile's products. The analyst believes shares could be worth as much as $5.60 -- a premium of more than 15% from current levels.
Glu Mobile is a developer and publisher of mobile games. Its game portfolio includes more than a dozen titles across iPad, iPhone, and Android devices. It doesn't have anything as well-known as Candy Crush Saga or Angry Birds, but the company is a small cap with a valuation just short of $400 million.
One trend that could benefit Glu Mobile in the near term is the growing expansion of Internet-connected, video game-capable set-top boxes. The Amazon.com Fire TV, released in April, lets users play mobile games on their TV. Later this fall, TVs and set-top boxes powered by Android TV will hit the market; all will be capable of playing Android games.
GoPro continues its post-IPO surge
GoPro was up 28% in early trading. Factoring in today's move, GoPro is not too far from doubling its IPO offering price of $24 per share.
There wasn't any news specific to GoPro's rally on Friday, but investors obviously continued to be intrigued by the prospect of owning shares of the camera company. Unlike other recent IPOs, GoPro is actually profitable and sells a tangible product -- its digital cameras have seen rapid growth in recent years. About three-quarters of the 8.5 million cameras it has sold in its history were sold in the last two years.
Still, at current levels, investors may be skeptical. Although GoPro has seen rapid earnings growth on a year-over-year basis, there are some signs that this trend is beginning to falter. Last quarter, GoPro's revenue actually contracted compared to the first quarter of 2013. GoPro blamed its supply chain, but the company must continue its growth to justify its valuation.
Wal-Mart lowers the price of Apple's iPhone
Apple shares rose a bit more than 0.6% early in Friday's session. This came after Wal-Mart slashed the price of the iPhone 5S from $199 to $99 on contract, and cut the price of the iPhone 5C from $99 to $29.
This could be a ploy on Wal-Mart's part aimed at taking share of the smartphone market from other retailers -- consumers who come in to purchase Apple's iPhone may be more likely to buy other, higher-margin products, including accessories. Or it could be a sign that Apple's hotly anticipated iPhone 6 is nearing its debut. If past years are any indication, Apple will launch the iPhone 6 in September.
If the widespread reports of a larger screen are true, Apple's iPhone 6 could be the best-selling iPhone in the company's history.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Business Network of Jewelers
12 Jul
Social networks are popping up all over the place these days. So, far I've joined a few, but honestly, I have yet to really immerse myself in any of them because, (a) I don't have the time, and (b) I honestly just don't get them. If I have one more weird old man wanting to be "my friend," I'm going to scream!
So, this new fashion related network I recently heard about claims that they are not a social network but rather a Business network. We'll see. It does sound interesting and could hold some career hope for those in the jewelry business. I kind of like the idea of a network of jewelry designers and jewelry lovers working together. Well, you decide. Is it a social network or something else?
Here are some details from their press release:
The Fashion Industry Network (www.FashionIndustryNetwork.com) is a business networking community designed for the fashion industry. The network allows individuals the opportunity to develop personal profiles to highlight their professional experience in the fashion industry. After profiles are created, members may freely join groups that pertain to their area of expertise. For example, if the member is a "pattern maker" they will join the Pattern Making Group. As pattern making can be considered a function of design, a pattern maker would also be welcome in the Design Group if they were so inclined. In addition, they may wish to enter into discussions with people in the Clothing Manufacturing Group.
Members are permitted to join groups in which they have direct personal expertise or simply a very strong interest in the groups topic of discussion. The idea is for both industry veterans and new members of the industry to converse and share ideas. It is a wonderful place for members of the industry to learn from one another. One member may lend assistance regarding the proper method for fusing a lapel. Another member may have experience with printing t-shirts by using cut panels. As the membership grows, more shared knowledge will be available to all.
The network is an excellent structure for open communication. Viewers may post comments or questions in the general forums, or they can post topical messages in a specific group. Members may also have discussions with one another on their personal profile pages. In addition, if the member wishes to ask another member a question in private, they can send an e-mail message.
The network has several predefined "groups" and new groups can be added based on suggestions from the sites members. The only requirement of the network, is that the discussions stay on topic. Any topic relevant to fashion, textiles, or related fields are welcome. For an example of a "related field", the site allows jewelry designers, hair stylists, makeup artists etc. In fact, the site allows groups to develop regarding warehousing, custom brokerage, import & export etc. Certainly, the fashion industry would not function with out warehousing and distribution. Therefore, if you work in a clothing warehouse you are certainly welcome to post your views. Essentially, any business function that is directly relevant to the fashion industry or textile industry is welcome at the Fashion Industry Network.
The primary goal of the network is to bring together members of the fashion industry in a friendly setting so that they that they can have open dialog regarding business matters. This site is not a "social" network. The site is a "business" network. Although you will find a friendly and sociable community, the primary function is to meet business contacts and discuss relevant business topics.

In this post OHMA student Alissa Funderburk (2017-2018) introduces the second Future Voices Fellow, Desmond Austin Miller. Alissa recently conducted a one-on-one interview with Desmond to learn more about her classmate's life, education, work, and research interests.
Where do you belong? What is your place? How is space fragmented? Who determines what space belongs to whom? These are the types of questions that weave through the systemic issues of our city, and the history of this country. These are also questions that Oral History masters students Lynn Lewis and Demond Austin Miller are currently asking. From manifest destiny to displacement, erasure, gentrification, and homelessness, "belonging" is a word that resonates with both Lynn and Desmond as they discuss their academic interests and the work they have done.
Desmond Austin Miller was chosen as a Future Voices Fellow for the 2017-2018 academic year based on his exceptional potential to contribute to the development of the field of oral history. Another promising individual whose proposed work contributes to the Columbia Center for Oral History Research mission of documenting the central issues and conflicts of our times, Desmond, like Lynn, has worked closely with homeless people in his city.
Desmond joins the 2017 OHMA cohort as a recent graduate of Lafayette College where he majored in Anthropology & Sociology with a minor in Africana Studies. As a Posse Scholar, Desmond was part of an exceptional group of students that further developed his appreciation for community and intergenerational support, caring for one another.
During his time at Lafayette, Desmond noticed the economic influence of the college on the surrounding city. "Columbia kinda sits up on a big hill, but so does Lafayette," he explains. "Imagine if Columbia sat on a hill so big that it was looking over all of the city, that's kind of like what Lafayette is. We're on this huge, steep, you know, mountain and you just look right down at the city, at the city, at Easton." According to Desmond, this positioning allows for students to be "disjointed from the goings on" and "ignorant of the school's economic force." The college is well endowed, and Desmond recalls how Lafayette is "the driving force economically in Easton and the Lehigh valley" so much so that the school received government funding even when the city's last public library couldn't afford to open back up. Interest in this type of power dynamic is just a small part of the motivation for Desmond's academic studies.
As a native of Washington D.C., Desmond spent his summers in the District working in various spheres of the non-profit scene in education administration and homeless advocacy. One of the projects he has dedicated much of his time to is Street Sense, a D.C.-based 16-page bi-weekly street newspaper that raises public awareness of homelessness and poverty in the city and creates economic opportunities for people experiencing homelessness.
Desmond's interest in the field of oral history comes from multiple interactions and experiences in recent years. Learning about the Western Apache from Keith H. Basso's Wisdom Sits in Places, being introduced to the co-director of OHMA and her research on Lower East Side squatters, working in an oral history archive, and a journalism internship at American University, all helped to prepare and guide him to this program. "I knew that I wanted to do something related to storytelling and story making, or recording in some way," he recalls. "Everyday I'm getting up and I'm just thinking how fortunate I am that they kinda saw in me something. They saw something that they said they want someone like that here."
Desmond hopes to further explore his research interests in human rights activism, homelessness, power, race, and other topics at Columbia through the methodological lens of oral history because he sees it as an interdisciplinary field that mixes ethnography, anthropology, social justice and journalism. Currently his work investigates the effects of gentrification in New York City, with special attention to the historical and personal significance of places to the people who inhabit them. In his opinion, every place has a story, whether it's an institution or the block somebody raised their kids on. He sees an obvious connection between the growing visibility of gentrification and the longtime issue of homelessness. "It's like unacceptable to me. I just, I still, I'll never understand how we can live in the most opulent society to ever exist in the history of our planet, of human civilization and still have this as a problem. Or how other things can so easily distract from that problem."

Assam Health & Education Minister denies allegations of Saradha Group.
Guwahati: On Friday, Assam Health and Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma denied the allegations Saradha Group chief Sudipta Sen made against him in a letter to the CBI and said he intended to send him a legal notice.
In his letter to the CBI, had accused Sarma of 'cheating' him and said he had been defrauded of not less than Rs 3 crore by the minister, whose office executives had signed vouchers for the payments.
Sarma said that "I have gone through the copy of Sen's letter to the CBI, where he had not only said that I have 'cheated' him, but my office executives had accepted money from the company after signing 'vouchers'. First of all, I do not have any office executive working under me; and I have only personal secretaries (PS). I have asked all of them whether they have signed any document and taken money from Saradha, and all of them have said no."
The minister said that "I have not authorised anyone to sign on my behalf. If somebody had signed on my behalf and taken money, I must know the identity of those persons. I am planning to send a legal notice to Sen, seeking from him the names of those persons who had taken money from the company by signing vouchers."
On Thursday, an RTI activist in Assam and Team Anna member Akhil Gogoi takes out a rally against the Saradha Group, and hundreds of people, comprising agents, depositors and employees of deposit collecting companies joined the rally.
The rallyists also demanded the arrest of Sarma and elimination of his properties, in view of his alleged role in the scam.

So you are finally here. The moment of truth. Today is the day your divorce becomes final. It's an emotional time for you. My goal is too alleviate some of those concerns by letting you know what to expect at your final hearing. The scenario I'm going to describe is what happens at an uncontested divorce hearing in Connecticut, where the parties have come to an agreement on all issues. Prior to the hearing you want to make sure that all of your paperwork has been completed, that you have come to an agreement, and that agreement has been put in writing, reviewed and signed by you and your spouse (That's where a mediator like me comes in). Next you will need to schedule your hearing with the court. Some courts have different schedules, such as designated days when they schedule their uncontested divorce hearings so check with your court in advance.
At the day of your hearing you are expected to have everything completed in advance. If you need something signed, or a form filed out, the court has a Court Service Center, manned by a clerk who can assist you. You want to get to the courtroom as early as possible for your allotted time, and check in with the courtroom clerk to let them know you are there and ready. This is important, especially if they take the cases on a first come first served basis. It's likely that you and your spouse wont be the only people in the courtroom. There may be other couples getting divorced, or other court matters that have to be handled, so don't be alarmed.
Your case will be called, then you and any attorneys representing you will leave the gallery where the public sits and sit at separate tables. You, and or, your attorneys will announce who your are giving your name and address for the court record. The plaintiff (whoever filed the divorce) will be asked a series of questions by your attorney, or by the judge if you don't have an attorney. The purpose of these questions is to make sure that certain information gets on the record (date of the marriage, children, whether someone wants to go back to their maiden name). You will be asked if the marriage has broken down "irretrievably" which just means that the marriage is over with no hope of you both getting back together. Your attorney or the judge if you are self represented will ask you about the agreement, whether you have read it and whether you believe it is fair and equitable. Then it's your spouse's turn to identify himself or herself, get asked some questions, and also be asked about the agreement, and whether its fair and equitable. The judge will make some statements and announce that you are divorced, and that's it. Not including the time you are waiting to be called, the whole process takes between 10-20 minutes. After the hearing you can request a copy of your divorce decree from the clerk's office for a fee.
At Success Mediation we not only prepare you for the divorce hearing by helping you resolve your disputes, and preparing all documentation needed, but we also help you understand what to expect before, at the final hearing, and prepare you for your life post divorce. Visit our website at gladstonelegal.net or give us a call so we can help you find a better way to get through your divorce or any of your family law needs.

By Laurie Marsden
Last year, I think everyone was concerned about the election of our current president. Not only did we not get our first female president, but we got a man who's talk, rhetoric and history with women was a throwback from some Madmen episode. I think his blatant disrespect for women, and minorities, the disabled and immigrants as well as his bullying, was just too much for a lot of people to tolerate. And so we marched. And we marched again at airports and we protested over proposed changes to immigration, and then we went to Congress and we protested over health care.
"We the people" have found our voice and are understanding the fragile and sacred nature of a constitutional representative democracy. And we are fighting for it. And I am proud of that.
But there is one thing that stands out for me, that I personally am so, so thankful for. And that is that women have found their voice. That women have let go of their fear and spoken their truth. What has been the truth? That workplaces aren't always fair, that sexual pressure and favors and expectations of men in power have limited women, ruined careers, taken away advancement and sometimes even limited a woman's ability to put food on the table for her family. Women in all industries have dealt with this culture of objectification, power and control. This pay for play attitude.
As a therapist for 20 years, I have witnessed the terrible damage of oppression, of rape, assault and abuse.
But I say — we say — no more. We are going to create a world where women can walk down the street without being harassed, where they can study in universities, be on Olympic sports teams and rise in their professions without some person drunk on his power interfering with their success. On Facebook alone the #metoo was used by more that 4.7 million people in 12 million posts during the first 24 hours! And with that, our silence was forever broken.
I posted with #metoo. I only posted a few of my stories, but there are many. I admit before I pushed that "post" button I was nervous, scared. I was coming out and disclosing painful memories of disempowerment and career injuring episodes that happened because I wouldn't sleep with someone… But I took courage from all the women who were coming out. We are strong when we stand together. And we have seen the result. We were heard!! Believed! And change and retribution happened quickly to a variety of perpetrators.
I know the great men and women here today are here because they believe a better more equal society is not only possible, but necessary. Women have so much to offer… and I am so happy and so grateful that because of activism like this and movements like this, that my daughter will be able to offer her gifts to this world without having to give up her dignity, or be shamed, or be pressured, or be fired or not hired due to some insidious and repressive expectation.
And let me say, that it is so good to see so many men here again this year. I know good men have been equally appalled at the stories that have come out this year. And that they too look at their sons and daughters and want a better world. Men, teach your sons to have good character and to respect women, and minorities, and immigrants and not to bully. Gals, you too need to raise your boys to be respectful and fair and raise your girls to expect to be respected. And to use their voice if they are not.
We have power here in helping create a future that men and women can be proud of. One that is inclusive, fair, based on merit and dignity.
Contrary to some people who oppose these types of rallies, no one is saying that women are better than men. But men are also not better than women. We are different and with mutual respect we can come together to make the world better.
As Carole Gilligan wrote in 1982, women have a different voice, we come from a different perspective, one of connection and consideration for the other. And yet we have historically been seen and judged through a male dominated lens, one that values a world view and a system that has been made and shaped by men. In her letter to readers in 1993 Carol said "To have a voice is to be human, to have something to say is to be a person. But speaking depends on listening and being heard. It is an intensely relational act."
I stand here today grateful that we are being listened to and that we are listening to each other. Thank you for being here today, for listening to me. And for using your voice to let people know that you stand for unity and equality.

Hello. My name is John and i study Electrical/Computer engineering. I am working on a project that consists of a user interface VI that communicates with a web page. ( locally ). Look at the attached image for my project structure. My issue is this : The project runs correctly ( i start the web service(this is on debug server port 8001): startup VI that is basically the User Interface pops-up. I right click on the "index.html" to get the URL and open it with a browser. any changes i make with my UI are visible on the browser. So , all cool so far) When i try to build either a standalone application ( .exe ) or an installer it just doesn't work. I open the index.html with browser(on port 8080, also tried 8002(see attached image)) ( general style with css is visible, so it means that index.html opened) but nothing is updated. ( i send images/audio) This is the first time i need to build a standalone application so i guess i didn't build it correctly. Also as for the installer , if i understand correctly i need to first build an exe(that has the web service included) , and then include it in the installer ? I attach some more images where i show the build specification options. Could you please walk me through ? What source files do i need to include etc. Thank you in advance.

In tough times, many businesses think they cannot afford to offer work-life balance programs. Experts and leading businesses think they can't afford not to. Such programs improve morale and productivity in a workforce - particularly important when staff are unsettled by a reduction in numbers or reduced working hours. Even workforces unaffected by the squeeze benefit.
ConnectEast, the owner, builder and operator of Melbourne's newest toll road, EastLink, assumed its staff was happy when it surveyed them two years ago. It had the fast-growing, optimistic culture of a start-up, combined with the momentum of meeting construction targets early. But when it conducted a "vertical-slice" survey of its staff, it found a staggering 86 per cent were unhappy with their work-life balance.
"As a greenfield organisation, we had attracted a lot of people with different experiences so we leveraged off that - asked them what had worked for them at other organisations," ConnectEast group human resources manager Michael Werle says.
The resulting suite of policies includes 12 weeks' paid parental leave, time-in-lieu, job sharing and shift-swapping, a 48-52 scheme (staff apply for four weeks of unpaid leave and annualise the impact on their salary) and support for corporate staff who need to work from home.
There is a progressive range of leave entitlements, including for emergency services, blood donation, ceremonial reasons and a community day (interested staff recently spent a workday planting trees along the Mullum Mullum Creek, near the tollway). A sick leave bank, in which healthy staff can donate excess leave to seriously ill colleagues, is also being considered.
Take-up of the provisions has been widespread. "New things always come up - people offer suggestions," Werle says. "We're keen to build work-life goals into individual performance arrangements to try and promote that in the business."
The turnaround in staff satisfaction has been dramatic. In a recent survey of staff by HR consultancy Hewitt Associates, 77 per cent said their work-life balance was good and 85 per cent said policies made the work environment positive. Unplanned absences, which are costly and disruptive for business, are down to 4.6 days per person a year (half the workplace average). Attrition at the organisation's 24-hour, seven-days-a-week contact centre, which expects high turnover because of an often young and mobile workforce, is about half the industry average at 18.8 per cent.
Two years ago, ConnectEast advertised for an accountant and received four applicants, Werle says. In July, it did so again and received more than 300 - a result of its reputation as a progressive employer, not just the downturn, he insists. In June, the organisation was recognised as a fair and flexible employer by the Victorian government.
Investors are also pleased. "At the annual general meetings, unitholders ask questions about the organisation and always seem to be pleased to know that they've invested in a good employer," Werle says. "We've worked at building employment brand and reputation."
Receptionist Lisa Latham, for example, went on maternity leave in August last year and returned part-time in May. "ConnectEast was keen to have me back, so I told them the hours I wanted to work and they worked around that," she says. Another part-timer who could fit around Latham's hours was hired.
At many companies, there can be a gap between rhetoric and reality as HR policies are embraced less enthusiastically by line managers. However, the ConnectEast program is underpinned by a culture of trust and managers who themselves take advantage of the flexibility, Werle says. "People are astute. They know what they need to do from a personal and work perspective."
What the experts say
Barbara Holmes is the founder and director of one of Australia's longest-running dedicated consultancies, Managing Work-Life Balance International. Law firms, food manufacturers and health-care providers are among the businesses that use her advice and programs.
01 Understand what employees need to manage their work-life balance and be productive. It's about needs, not wants.
02 Focus on mutual responsibility - the needs of the employees, the business and the teams in which they work.
03 Clarifying these priorities will help introduce strategies, programs and policies that give the best return on investment.
04 Educate managers so they have the skills to handle both getting the job done and giving staff the flexibility they need.
05 Implementing a program provides bottom-line results: staff's improved ability to balance work and life, particularly through flexible work, increases employee job satisfaction and discretionary effort, and reduces absenteeism and staff turnover.
06 Use the downturn and any staff reduction to focus on job essentials and get rid of some of the busy-work. Can jobs be redesigned? Is technology being used to its best advantage?

I answered this some other articles.why do all these governments and banks want gold? Back-up my ally. The same reason you in order to be taking time right now to become proficient with these markets. Is actually no still time – even so, not much.
Let me work from an example out of my own life. I thought i was looking to buy a good investment and decided real estate was the ideal solution. I knew a real estate developer who appeared to be very successful and who was ready for capital to expand his website. After we had a handshake deal for me to dollars on his company, but before we had signed any legal papers, I got a call from him that some land became available near a very low price because of foreclosure, nevertheless the deal required immediate action. I loaned him what was if you a big amount of income without proper legal documents. To cut short a very long and very painful story of mounting legal fees and disappointments, I never saw my money as before.
Fourthly, check the development logistics. You may have found a proficient developer and then a perfectly priced Austin TX Housing.

Section 8 - The Book of Glue
"You don't want to be done too quick, and it helps to be the right temperature."
Chapter 1 - Glues
Glues come in different colors, chemicals, dry times, cure times, lifespans, capsules, tube styles, resistance to extreme temps, and costs. I have rigged highlines, or I should say "tried", where the glue in bolts (that somebody else installed) literally were sitting in a pile of goo because it never mixed right and therefore never hardened. What if someone rigged an anchor that was "partially" cured and therefore looked cured… until they took a whipper and they all come out? So let's all take a minute to understand the chemistry involved in making the best bond possible.
The colors are just a manufactures choice more than anything. I love the wonderful qualities of the Hilti 500 V3, but it is red, very red, and that's not very nature friendly. However, in UV light over time, it does change to a dull brown. Other glues come in a grey and brown and everything in between.
The chemicals that make up rock hard glue are a resin and hardener. Resin bases fall into one of the following categories: epoxy, epoxy-acrylate, vinylester, and polyester. Epoxies have 4x the bond as polyester, are stronger, are not porous like polyester and therefore last decades longer. The epoxies do take a little longer to cure but like cement, it cures harder if it dries slowly. Polyesters don't last as long and are weaker, but you get instant gratification.... OK, like a 20 minute gratification. Polyester is too weak and has too short of a life span to be used as "permanent" anchor that holds your life and others. Vinylester and epoxy-acrylate is a middle ground between strength, cure temps and times, and costs. It is "good enough" for a highline anchor but not as good as epoxy. However, if you are in a coastal area, or an area known for SCC (Stress Corrosion Cracking), epoxy is critical to use.
Dry times
Dry times or gel times are the amount of time you can spend installing the bolt before you risk damaging the bond. If you yank on a bolt that is half cured, you could damage that bond significantly. An epoxy that takes 6 hours to cure, lets you play with it for around 30 minutes, but a polyester that takes 20 minutes to cure gives you about a minute or two to get that bolt in.
Cure times
It's important to know your cure times because it matters! Don't highline on bolts that "look" cured. Follow the specs so you don't die. This is very temperature based. The colder it is, the longer it takes.
Lifespans or shelf life all depend on constant room temperature in a dark closet and can vary as short as 9 months like Liquid Roc 300 (a polyester) to 18 months, or even as long as 24 months like most epoxies.
These look like big pills that you would stick up your ass, but unless you want to shit again, I wouldn't do that. They are a more convenient method as you "just" put the capsule in the bolt hole and hammer in your bolt, BUT you can do this wrong a lot easier than when using a tube style. They come in both hammer and screw styles, and it is important to read the installation section below before using them!
Tube styles
Tube style or cartridge style are either a single tube that fits most standard caulk guns (check this first as a trip was ruined because the plunger didn't fit!) or a double tube that requires a very special dispenser tool. Some come battery powered if you like it fancy.
Curing really depends on temperature. For example: some epoxies like Simpson XP require a minimum of 50F (10C) for 3 days which can be unrealistic in the mountains but others can cure as low as 14F (-10C) in half a day. And, did you know some glues can even lose strength AFTER they are cured if exposed to really extreme temps? If an area gets too hot like the desert, it can drastically reduce the strength of some glues. In fact, a heat gun is one trick to removing glue ins. However, is 75% of the strength of a quality epoxy really a concern since it is so overkill? And do you plan on desert highlining when it is 110F? Know your area, and know your glue.
Epoxy cures slower, but that is one reason it is stronger… a lot stronger than polyester. Vinylester and Epoxy-acrylate is in between but epoxy always stands above them all.
Money is often a factor for the bolter. To spend almost $60 on just glue and buy special dispensers for $163 like Hilti's setup, could make a highliner cry, but then again, this could be an anchor that could last for 100 years if done right. Or you can buy something in the $20 range for an 8 bolt anchor that doesn't require special tools. However, if money is a deal breaker for you… should you really be installing anchors that hundreds of people will risk their lives on? Get your dispensers used on ebay, ask your buddies that will highline with you on those bolts to help chip in $20 each, and you can have something you are proud of when you are done.

Color: Purple
2 year shelf life
Long term loading
Available in 11.2oz dual cylinder at $19.25 each (and 16.9oz and 47.3oz)

½" threaded rod in a ⅝" hole at 4" embedment at 4000psi concrete (see page 15 of tech sheet)
=6,295lbf tension
=8,505lbf sheer
Opinion: This seems to be the go-to glue for climbers probably because it cures in 15 minutes but it isn't as good as their epoxy. You may not die using this but the epoxy is going to give better, long term results. However, this wins the "bang for your buck" award.
Powers Pure110+
Color: Gray
9oz costs $23.88
Available in 9oz single tube and 21oz dual cartridge
Installable at 14F to 104F (-10C to 40C)
It maintains 100% at 110F (41C)
18 month shelf life
Hole can be submerged in water
Cures at 41F (5C) in 48 hours
Cures at 68F (20C) in 8 hours
Cures at 104F (40C) in 4 hours
½" threaded rod in a ⅝" hole at 4" embedment at 4000psi concrete (see page 11 of tech sheet)
7,590lbf tension & 9,165lbf sheer
Opinion: This is a great option for hot environments as it holds 100% strength at 110F but it does NOT cure in cold conditions, it takes 2 days when it is a bit chilly outside. It also is quite a bit more money. There are not many places to buy it.
Liquid Roc 700
Color: gray

18 month shelf life
10oz costs $34.25 and also comes in 28oz
Cures at 14F (-10C) in 15 hours
Cures at 59F (15C) in 1 hour
Cures at 86F (30C) in 20 minutes
½" rod in 9/16" hole at 4.5" embedment at 4000psi concrete has a WLL of
5,439lbf Tension
4,674lbf Shear
Opinion: This is the best performing glue for really cold conditions. A bit pricey but is strong and drys fast. If I was installing glue ins in 14F, I would just use Powers AC100+ Gold.
Liquid Roc 500
Amine base epoxy
Color: Gray

24 month shelf life
Long term loading
8.5oz costs $19.86
Cures at 80F (26C) in 6 hours
Cures at 60F (15C) in 24 hours
Don't use below 40F (4C)
⅜" rod in a ½" hole at 4.5" embedment at 4000psi concrete
=9,540lbf tension
=5,810lbf sheer
Opinion: A comparable epoxy to Hilti 500 V3. This won't cure below 40F but it is less than half the price. It is also 20% cheaper than Set XP and drys twice as fast as it. It also fits a standard single cartridge dispenser.
Liquid Roc 300
Polyester resin base
28F minimum
9 month shelf life
Short term loading
28oz double cartridge at $23.65 (no single tubes)
Cures at 80F in 30min

Cures at 28F in 4 hours
⅜" rod in a ½" hole at 4.5" embedment at 4000psi concrete
=5,920lbf tension
=6,133lbf sheer
Opinion: This is the kind that comes in capsules. This only comes in a dual cartridge requiring a special dispenser. If you are going to buy something in a cartridge, buy an epoxy as it is stronger and longer lasting. You can wait a couple hours to make an anchor last 40 years longer (I pulled that number out of my ass but it is that huge of a difference in longevity).
Bolt-Products Epoxy Acrylate
Epoxy Acrylate
400ml (13.5oz) costs €15,60
Dispenser available on website
Opinion: They say it is a healthy balance between long term and price. But they don't have any specs and you should really know those before installing any type of glue.
Liquid Roc 300 Hammer Capsule
For short term loading only
10 Pack costs $29.69 (be sure to check the size you need first)
Cure in 10min at 68F
Cures in 1 hour at 32F
23F is as low as you can go
Only use square cut end on threaded rod
½" hole with ⅜" rod like fixes rates at 4,320lbf to 6120lbf tension or 3,983 shear
Opinion: The numbers sound good, the cure time is appealing, but this is polyester and so it isn't as good as epoxy. Also, not all glue in bolts have a blunt end so they wouldn't be able to be used on this. I DON'T RECOMMEND.
Liquid Roc 300 Capsule (spin install)
For short term loading only
10 pack costs $27.50 (be sure to check the size you need first)
Cure in 10min at 68F
Cures in 1 hour at 32F
23F is as low as you can go
Pointed rod is critical
Specs require mechanical spinning
½" hole with ⅜" rod like fixes rates at 4,320lbf to 6120lbf tension or 3,983 shear
Opinion: This is the same thing as above, but the spin part of the install cannot be properly achieved without attaching the bolt to the drill and spinning it. I DON'T RECOMMEND.
Petzl Capsules
Ampoule Bat'Inox for 14mm Petzl Bat'Inox
Ampoule Collinox for 10mm Petzl Collinox
Polyester resin base
3 year guarantee
Break tip with hammer, "twist bolt in 10x minimum"
I don't know if hole needs to be dry
Cures at 20C in 40min
Cures at 10C in 1 hour
Cures at -5C in 10 hours
UIAA rated for 15kn tension and 25kn sheer
Opinion: I don't believe hand twisting these is sufficient so I cannot recommend them. It is also a substandard glue compared to epoxy.
Powers Hammer Capsule
Epoxy Acrylate Resin
Costs $22.04 for box of 10
Shelf life 2years
Hole can be damp but no standing water or frost
Cures at 68F in 1hour
Cures at 50F in 2hour
Cures at 32F in 5hours
½" diameter 4 ¼" embedment in 4,000 PSI concrete
= 10,240lbf Tension
= 10,720lbf Shear
Opinion: If you are going to use a capsule, this seems to be a good one. Doesn't require mechanical spinning, it is a form of epoxy, dries quick enough and is a good price.
Powers Chem-Stud
Ester Based Resin
Costs $3.06 each for ⅝"
Shelf life 2years
Bolt is required to have an angled end and specs require a rotary hammer drill to spin bolt so it mixes properly
Hole can be damp but no standing water or frost
Cures at 68F in 20min
Cures at 50F in 30min
Cures at 14F in 10hours
½" diameter 4 ¼" embedment in 4,000 PSI concrete
= 12,680lbf Tension
= 11,655lbf Shear
Opinion: I don't believe hand twisting these is sufficient so I cannot recommend them. It is also a substandard glue compared to epoxy.
Cartridges: If you want an high quality epoxy that isn't temperature sensitive and dries quickly, Hilti 500 V3 is your answer. If you want a good enough vinylester that is a user friendly, cost effective product, then Powers AC100+ Gold is your answer. Don't use polyester. It is porous, less strong, and won't last as long. If you want to highline immediately, use removables; then before you leave, install the glue ins.
Capsules: Without testing the screw in style, I CANNOT recommend any of them. Those should not be "hand twisted" but rather attached to hammer and rotated... a lot! The Powers Hammer Capsule is impressive though. Dries fast enough, is strong and is cheap. Be careful what bolts you use on them, they can't be angled at the bottom. Maybe the ends can be cut so they are flat if you are going to use Fixe or Petzl?
***NOTE: Fixe sells Power's Acrylic 286mm glue but there is no information on it. and I can't find it anywhere else on the internet. Slack Tech sells "Powers Acrylic" but their image is the AC100+ Gold that is vinylester.
***NOTE: I spent a long time combing through the strengths of these glues above. All companies have a rubber ruler which I'm sure engineers can all jack off to, but one company's standards don't match another's. It is really hard to compare apples with apples on strength, WLL and MBS. Just keep in mind, epoxy is going to be A LOT stronger than polyester.

Don't you hate it when you forget a face?
Spare a thought for the 1.5 million people in the UK suffering from developmental prosopagnosia - facial blindness. In its most acute form, they're unable to recognise their friends, their family… even their own reflection.
Dr Rachel Bennetts, psychology lecturer at Brunel University, specialises in researching facial processing disorders. In this fascinating interview with Olly, she explains what life is like for those who can't follow the narrative of TV shows or recognise their colleagues - and why their brain is letting them down.
Elsewhere this week, Ollie Peart tests out the latest home fitness trends in the Zeitgeist, including yoga-training app Asana Rebel, and on-demand fitness class Fiit. Plus, he updates us on his attempt to reach Christmas No.1. Can he get a record label to release 'The Sounds Of Christmas' in time for the festive charts?
Meanwhile, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox - fresh from handcuffing herself to a shower in the interests of bodily pleasure - considers a question of self-exhibitionism from a Mannfan who loves to share nudie pics. What are the risks he exposes himself to when he, um, exposes himself? And is there a safer way to get a thrill than using sites like Tumblr and Temporarily Exposed?
Finally, our record of the week comes from new girlband 303, and their track Whisper:

While your early morning is the tiniest snippet of your day, one could argue that that tiny snippet can make or break you. What you do in the early morning hours sets you up for the entire day ahead. People are fond of saying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I would say your morning routine is the most important endeavor of the day. Setting up a morning ritual that creates positivity, gratitude, and high vibrations can be the difference between having a great day or having an off day. It is like calibrating yourself for optimal performance.
The early morning is a great time for self-care practices that often get bumped off the calendar because you get busy later in the day. Instead of leaving self-care to the very end, do it right away in the morning. That's right, set your alarm a tad earlier than usual and get up without pushing the snooze button. Not a morning person? I thought I wasn't either. It turns out, I get my best writing done early in the morning. Get up and get going for yourself. Show up for you!
One valuable key to successful morning rituals is to leave the electronics off. Yep. No social media, news, email, or podcasts until after your ritual is completed. Does your morning routine involve reading the newspaper over coffee? Be aware of how that makes you feel. Does the news stress you out or make you feel helpless? If it does, save reading the newspaper for later in the morning. Maybe choose to journal or read a personal development book instead.
An effective morning routine is uplifting, grounding, empowering, or energizing. It fills your cup. What that means is up to you. Here are some ideas that you can use to create a positive morning:
- Journalling – Use the time while your coffee is brewing to freely write about your thoughts, goals, or desires. Try not to put limits or have expectations. Just see where your writing takes you.
- Gratitude practice – I personally do this one before I get out of bed in the morning. I think of at least three things I am grateful for. The key here is to let these things in so they can really fill you up. It is very hard to be negative when you are grateful.
- Coffee or tea and quiet reflection – I mindfully make my Bulletproof coffee every morning and then sit down to write. I have a friend who has her coffee in her sunroom while watching the sun come up. Taking time out to sit and think in peace is so rare and wonderful these days. You have to try it.
- Meditation – Morning is an excellent time to meditate. Most people find that their mind is quietest before the day has had a chance to bust in and play tricks. It is a fantastic time to get grounded. Never tried meditation? Head over to my meditation page or try one of the many meditation apps on the market.
- Exercise – Many people like to exercise early in the morning. If you have a tendency to get booked up later in the day and avoid exercising, the morning is an ideal time. I like to do some gentle movements early in the morning, like yoga, then I walk my child to school later in the morning. It's great to get the blood flowing and you feel like you've accomplished something.
These ideas are only a start. I know some people who have extensive morning rituals that involve tea ceremonies, tonics, juices, beauty routines, you name it! As long as the routine puts you into a positive mindset, I don't think you can go wrong. Come up with your own ideas to make your morning ritual epic!

The Future of Food
Looking 30 Years into the Future
Where will our food come from? Demographics and geography make this an increasingly difficult question to answer.
The world's population has exploded in the last two centuries, from one billion to the current figure of more than seven billion. Although the rate of increase is slowing, the absolute numbers are still sobering: the UN expects the number of people on this planet to surpass nine billion by 2050.
By then, we will need 50% more food than we do now. The current food production system cannot meet this demand in a sustainable way. Not only is there little spare arable land, developed nations are projected to actually lose 50 million hectares in the next three decades. That's enough farmland to cover all of Spain.
The consequences are stark. Ninety per cent of the required increase in crop production would need to come from improved yields and more intensive use of land. The resulting effects on freshwater supply and greenhouse gas emissions will be similarly drastic.
Focus on Fisheries
If we are to arrest the deterioration of our natural environment, the reliance on agriculture cannot continue. The alternative lies in the oceans, which cover two-thirds of the earth's surface. Sourcing proteins from the sea is more efficient than terrestrial methods and releases less greenhouse gases. And the beauty is that fish stocks are a renewable resource... if we manage them sensibly.
However this is not happening in many parts of the world. Witness the catastrophic decline in catches in Europe, North America and Africa. Closer to Hong Kong, over-fishing in the South China Sea has resulted in fish stocks being reduced by 70-95% compared with the 1950s.
Much of the reason is due to a lack of oversight by governments. Where national maritime regulation has been applied rigorously, the results have been astounding. New Zealand has led the way with its strict quota system, which has led to a flourishing fishing industry, as well as healthy fish stocks.
In principle, aquaculture should also offer a solution. But as always, the devil is in the details. Just as with bad management of wild fisheries, bad fish-farming practices can have serious detrimental effects.
That's not to say the situation is hopeless; far from it. However, the point is any solution must be carefully considered, given the scale and complexity of the problem.
For more on this topic, have a look at our posts on aquaculture and wild fisheries.

Protection for Somali children with new vaccine against deadly disease
Joint Press Release: The Federal Government of Somalia/Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance/ United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO)
MOGADISHU 16 November 2015 – The Somali authorities have launched a new polio vaccine aimed at ensuring that Somalia remains free of polio – fifteen months after the last confirmed case was detected.
With the introduction of new polio vaccine, Somalia is implementing another milestone activity needed to take the country forward towards the goal of polio eradication.
An outbreak of polio which began in Somalia in May 2013 led to 199 people, mostly children, being affected by the incurable disease. The last case was reported on 11 August 2014 and last month it was officially announced that the outbreak was over.
The President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud, took part in the launch ceremony at Villa Somalia, Mogadishu on 15 November.
"The new vaccine is key to protecting children from polio," said Hawa Hassan Mohamed, the Minister for Health for the Somali Federal Government. "We are willing to work with all our partners to ensure that we do not see a return of this incurable disease that has devastated so many young lives."
More than 450,000 Somali children born each year should receive one dose of the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), as part of the routine immunization programme. Children under one year of age will continue to receive three doses of the oral polio vaccine as part of routine immunization. When they receive their third dose of the orally administered vaccine, they will also be given a single dose of the new injectable vaccine.
"The new vaccine is key to protecting children from polio and ensuring that we do not see a return of this incurable disease that has devastated so many young lives," said Steven Lauwerier, UNICEF Somalia Representative. "UNICEF is committed to ensuring that Somali children receive the maximum protection and are given all life-saving vaccinations on time. Continued efforts and collaboration among all partners and communities will strengthen routine immunization and ensure this takes place. "
The introduction of IPV into the routine immunisation schedule is part of a worldwide roll-out of the vaccine across 126 countries – the largest and fastest globally coordinated vaccine introduction project in history. It is funded as part of the budget of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), and support is channeled through Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, WHO and UNICEF.
Following the start of the polio outbreak in May 2013, more than 35 supplementary immunization campaigns using 62 million doses of the OPV vaccine, targeting children under five years of age, were implemented across Somalia. Several of these campaigns, run by the Somali health authorities, with the support of World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) have targeted children under 10 years of age and adults. The campaigns are continuing to ensure the outbreak does not return.
"It is critical that families ensure their children have all the routine immunizations as well as the supplementary campaigns," said Dr Popal, World Health Organisation Representative in Somalia. "IPV together with OPV will help keep Somali children safe from polio."
The universal introduction of IPV is part of the Polio Eradication and Endgame Strategic Plan 2013-2018. It contributes to the eradication of polio and secures the gains made against the disease through stronger immunization systems, so that all children in all countries have access to vaccines. While Somalia had the last reported case in Africa in 2014, regions are only certified to have eradicated polio if no cases of the wild poliovirus are reported for three successive years in any of the countries.
