My child does not want therapy.
When parents first meet a counselor or therapist to talk about their child, they are often concerned that their child will not want therapy, or would not be willing to come in to talk. I typically do tell them that indeed for therapy to work it is important that the person engaged in it wants to come, is engaged in the process. This is the case for adults as well as for children. My first job as a therapist whether I am working with an adult or a child is to explore whether there is a demand for help. Sometimes the adult is sent by a concerned spouse, but is not suffering himself. Sometimes a child is brought in by concerned parents, but the child is not suffering himself. In those cases it might be better to work with the concerned spouses, or with the concerned parents. It might take some time to explore whether the child wants to come.
Just the child saying he or she does not want to come is of course not enough of a reason as the child does not know what he is refusing. It will be important for the child to say this in the presence of the consulting room, after the experience. Sometimes a child just tells his parents that he does not want to come, but actually engages in the process and tells the therapist session after session that he wants to come back. If that is the case, it is something that needs to be explored. It is important that the decision to start or not start the treatment is something that is expressed in the treatment room, by the child himself, and not through a parent.
Parents might be hesitant of their child wanting to come to treatment because they think of therapy as a way 'talking about feelings.' Although treatment can certainly include talking about feelings it is not only that, and it is much more in the work with children. The child will typically come to the treatment with the idea that the therapist is a figure like a teacher or a doctor, a parent: an authority figure. It might take several sessions for the child to explore the possibilities and nature of the therapeutic space: a space where you can say whatever comes to your mind without getting in trouble, a space where you do not 'have' to do anything.
As an example of this I can mention a child that came in pouting, feeling he had been forced to come to see me. He did not want to come and talk to me. He had spent the whole session with his head on his arm, pretending he was sleeping, and eventually even falling asleep. He was refusing my presence. Or was he. At one point I peeked under his arm, met his gaze, waved at him, and he waved back and smiled. At the end of the session, in which I had been talking about what his parents told me about him, I told him I would like to see him again (even though he did not do anything!) He responded to my surprise that he wanted to meet me again the next week. A session were apparently little happens can be very important, and actually can mean a lot!

Hate crime app reminder for residents
Residents are being reminded that help is available to report and tackle hate crime in the county.
A year ago, the Safer Northumberland Partnership launched a new mobile phone application to raise awareness of this sometimes hidden offence.
Available for iPhone and android phones, it includes information on how to deal with the traumatic effect of such crimes, why it happens, how to report it and where to seek help and support.
With hate crime thought to be widely under-reported nationally, the app allows individuals to report instances wherever and whenever they feel safe.
The Safer Northumberland Partnership includes Northumberland County Council, Northumbria Police, Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service, Northumbria Probation Service and Northumberland Clinical Commissioning Group, as well as other partner organisations.
Its chairman, Coun Liz Simpson, said: "As a council, we are united in our approach that all hate crime is totally unacceptable and we take a zero tolerance approach to it.
"We also want as many people as possible to be aware that help is available.
"This app provides a wealth of information and support options at the touch of a button and hopefully encourages people to speak out about any issues they are facing.
"It is just one of our approaches to this issue, as we have also run numerous training sessions for groups throughout the county to raise awareness of hate crime as well as workshops with schools during anti-bullying week."
The application can be downloaded for Apple and Android phones by searching for 'Hate Crime 4' through the App Store or Google Play store.

Earlier this year we reported that Fruitvale Station and Creed director Ryan Coogler was being pursued by Marvel Studios to direct the upcoming Black Panther film. We later heard from sources that the talks had cooled down. It seems that the success of Creed has sparked up things up again as BMD's Devin Faraci is now reporting that sources have confirmed to him that the director is back in negotiations to direct the 2018 release for Marvel Studios. The film, which will star Chadwick Boseman and be written by Joe Robert Cole, is currently set to hit theaters on February 16, 2018. Let us know your thoughts on the possibility of Coogler directing in the commments section below.
UPDATE: It has now been confirmed by TheWrap, Variety & The Hollywood Reporter that Coogler is indeed in negotiations with Marvel to direct the film for the studio.

The Massachusetts-bred rockers will close out the 19th annual festival, which will return to Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut for four nights of music from Thursday, July 31 to Sunday, August 3.
Dispatch will join fellow headliners John Fogerty and Widespread Panic. The band's last offering of all new material was 2012's Circles Around The Sun. Released in August of 2012, it followed their triumphant reunion in 2011 after a seven-year hiatus. Dispatch's fifth studio effort and first since 2000's Who Are We Living For? was was produced by Peter Katis (Interpol, The National). Last summer, they released a live album called Ain't No Trip to Cleveland Vol. 1, which featured selections from performances since their reunion.
Along with the new headliners, Allen Stone, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Stanley Jordan and Banooba have been added to the 2014 Gathering of the Vibes lineup. Other highlights on tap for this year's festival include Umphrey's McGee, moe., Rodrigo y Gabriela, Ziggy Marley, Maceo Parker, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Slightly Stoopid and Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue.

Festival favorites Keller Williams, Jeff Austin of Yonder Mountain String Band and Reed Mathis of Tea Leaf Green are teaming up as "Grateful Grass", while Grateful Dead percussionists and current Rhythm Devils leaders Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will join forces with The Disco Biscuits for a set.
On Friday night, Lotus will deliver a special tribute to the Talking Heads. The band described their "Lotus: Talking Heads Deconstructed" set in a press release by saying they would be "exploring the intersections between the music of Lotus and Talking Heads, rock and dance, and old and new."
This year's Gathering of the Vibes festival will also feature returning favorites Dark Star Orchestra, Strangefolk, Dumpstaphunk, Umphrey's McGee, moe., Ryan Montbleau, Deep Banana Blackout, Kung Fu, and beloved Master of Ceremonies Wavy Gravy.

Golden Agri-Resources - Not So Golden For Now
- Weaker palm oil prices.
- Weaker downstream margins.
- Weaker IDR.
Net loss of US$39m in 2Q18
- Golden Agri-Resources (GAR) reported a 5.9% y-o-y rise in revenue to US$1.86b but saw a net loss of US$39.2m in 2Q18, bringing 1H18 net loss to US$27.2m, lower than ours and the street's full year expectations; we were forecasting full year net profit of US$134m while Bloomberg consensus was US$156m.
- Gross profit margin was weak at 11.8% in 2Q18 vs. 13.7% in 1Q18 and 14.6% in 2Q17; performance was impacted by weaker palm oil prices and downstream margins. Below the gross profit line, Golden Agri-Resources also sustained foreign exchange loss of US$22.2m in 2Q18 with the depreciation of the IDR against the USD, which is not surprising as highlighted by our earlier report, "Golden Agri-Resources - Dim near term outlook | SGinvestors.io".
- Golden Agri-Resources's reported underlying profit was US$17m in 2Q18 and US$41m in 1H18.
~ SGinvestors.io ~ Where SG investors share
Lower CPO prices
- The main contributor to EBITDA was plantations and palm oil mills at US$197m (-19% y-o-y) in 1H18, followed by palm and laurics at US$45m.
- Oilseeds saw an EBITDA loss of US$4.5m in 1H18. Under plantations and palm oil mills, fresh fruit bunch and palm product output for 1H18 were lower at 4.6m tonnes and 1.3m tonnes respectively, affected by the biological slowdown (tree stress) after the high production in 2017 following the recovery from El Nino. The average international CPO (FOB Belawan) price for 1H18 was also lower at US$632/tonne vs. US$702/tonne in 1H17.
- For palm and laurics, EBITDA was 43% lower y-o-y as CPO market prices were affected by governments' intervention in commodity markets, such as India and Malaysia, as well as US-China trade tensions. This was coupled with untimely purchase of feedstock. Finally, the oilseeds segment was affected by lower volume and higher input prices.
Lower Fair Value of S$0.26
- Though production is expected to increase going forward, palm oil prices remain weak. Over the longer term, we would also monitor Golden Agri-Resources' replanting programme with its ageing plantations.
- With the weaker-than-expected results, we lower our estimates and as such as our fair value drops from S$0.30 to S$0.26, based on 17.5x FY19F earnings.

Your shopping basket is empty.
Shop Gift Bags From 75p!
Yankee Candle Store at Clintons
Is your flame dancing? When a flame flickers too much; it can produce unwanted smoke which can be caused by:
To ensure a clean burn, extinguish your candle using a candle snuffer, trim the wick to 3mm using a wick trimmer and finally make sure it isn't in direct line of any air currents – then simply relight and enjoy.
To prevent tunnelling and memory rings; the first burn of your candle is the most important!
To ensure you get an even and clean burn throughout your candle's life - burn your candle for 30 minutes for every 1cm in diameter, so for example a large jar is approximately 8cm in diameter, so we would recommend to burn it for at least 4 hours to ensure the first layer of wax melts to the edge of the candle before you extinguish it.
If the wax is not allowed to melt to the edge; the candle will create a memory ring around the wick and it can then tunnel. You can support the burn of your candle with the use of a illumalids which helps to steady the flame and keep in the heat, encouraging an even burn.
When there is approximately 1cm of wax remaining at the bottom of your jar candle, we recommend this is where you should discontinue its use as the flame nears the base of the glass it can get very hot – by doing this you will avoid possible heat damage that can be caused to surfaces or the container.
Candles are a fantastic source of creating the right mood! For a really dramatic effect; gather three or more candles in varying heights and/or forms in the centre of your table for a beautiful and dramatic display. You can also influence the height of a candle through jar candle holders.
When using sampler votive candles, for the most effective burn it's best to select a holder that mimics the size and shape of the candle. There's a huge collection of votive holders to choose from to suit any décor and can be found in store and online.
Our small Sampler Votive Candles are called Samplers because they're a great way to sample and experiment with new or different fragrances – with a huge range of sampler fragrances available, you'd definitely find something to your taste. Alternatively, if you prefer a flameless fragrance with a powerful throw, our selection of tarts wax melts are another way in which to experiment with new fragrances in your home.
These small but powerful forms also provide an opportunity to experiment with fragrance mixology where you can create your own unique fragrance just for you by using complimentary fragrances together.

Best anti-spanking resources
Plain Talk About Spanking
This great resource prepared by Project No Spank summarizes a variety of research on the harmful effects of spanking. It starts with a great explanation of why "I was spanked and I turned out okay" isn't a good reason to hit your kids. It then goes on to present a list of facts about spanking, including:
- The lasting effect of spanking
- Lost trust
- Neglect is not the only alternative to spanking (I wrote more about this in my Discipline Spectrum post)
- Link between spousal abuse and spanking
- Escalation from small tap for big behavioural problem to routine abuse
- Link between spanking and sexual molestation and sexual development
- Physical dangers of hitting the buttocks and the hands
- Dangers of shaking
- Link between spanking and poor performance at school
- Link between spanking and smoking, drinking and drugs
- Link between spanking and criminal behaviour
- Link between spanking and prejudice
- Link between spanking and brain development
- Spanking at school
It then includes a series of quotes from experts about spanking and has links to a number of articles that they have written on the topic too. That is followed by these questions and answers:
Q: What do virtually all juvenile delinquents have in common?
A: They have been raised by spankers.
Q: What was a common feature of the childhoods of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein and Charles Manson?
A: Each one was relentlessly, severely, physically punished.
Q: What do most prisoners on death row have in common?
A: Plenty of spankings during childhood.
Q: What do rapists, arsonists, terrorists, torturers, serial killers, mass murderers, suicide bombers, kidnappers, snipers, assassins, muggers, vandals, spouse batterers and stalkers have in common?
A: Violent upbringing.
Q: Which child is destined never to join the company of felons?
A: One who is raised in a nurturing, attentive, supportive, non-spanking family.
Q: To turn a friendly puppy into a vicious guard dog, what must you do to it?
A: Restrict its movement and beat it often.
Finally, the document ends with information on what you can do to help (spread the word!) and some additional resources for further study.
Dr. Sears on Spanking
The AskDrSears Web site has a great article on spanking that includes reasons not to hit your child, admonitions of parents who spank, and signs you need professional help about discipline. The reasons not to hit your child (explained in more detail in the article) are:
- Hitting Models Hitting
- Hitting Devalues the Child
- Hitting Devalues the Parent
- Hitting May Lead to Abuse (my personal opinion is that it is abuse)
- Hitting Does Not Improve Behaviour
- Hitting is Actually Not Biblical
- Hitting Promotes Anger in Parents and Children
- Hitting Brings Back Bed Memories
- Abusive Hitting Has Bad Long-Term Effects
- Abusive Hitting has Bad Long
- Spanking Does Not Work
Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child: Negative Effects of Spanking and Some Healthy Alternatives
This Mothering Magazine article exclaims shock at the fact that in 2000, 61 percent of parents claimed to spank their children. It links the need to spank children with wildly inaccurate understanding of what age appropriate behaviour is. The parents that spanked often felt that a 6 month old child could be "spoiled" and had other inappropriate expectations of their children. It then explains some of the problems with spanking (similar to those raised in the other articles) and then goes on to explain healthier alternatives to spanking.
Spare the Rod, Why You Shouldn't Hit Your Kids
This article by Alan Kazdin uses a great analogy. I'll let it speak for itself:
The science also shows that corporal punishment is like smoking: It's a rare human being who can refrain from stepping up from a mild, relatively harmless dose to an excessive and harmful one. Three cigarettes a month won't hurt you much, and a little smack on the behind once a month won't harm your child. But who smokes three cigarettes a month? To call corporal punishment addictive would be imprecise, but there's a strong natural tendency to escalate the frequency and severity of punishment. More than one-third of all parents who start out with relatively mild punishments end up crossing the line drawn by the state to define child abuse: hitting with an object, harsh and cruel hitting, and so on. Children, endowed with wonderful flexibility and ability to learn, typically adapt to punishment faster than parents can escalate it, which helps encourage a little hitting to lead to a lot of hitting. And, like frequent smoking, frequent corporal punishment has serious, well-proven bad effects.
The article also talks about the ill-effects of spanking and raises the point that scientists that have done this research have not been as vocal about it as proponents of spanking have been. Also parents often see the temporary compliance that results from spanking as a sign of "success", not realizing that this short-term gain has lots of long-term negative consequences (again, the reason we need to focus on long-term parenting versus short-term parenting).
The article also talks about the fact that 91 countries have banned corporal punishment in schools and 23 have banned spanking everywhere, including in the home and another 20, including Canada, are considering bans. It talks about the fact that the United Nations has set 2009 as a goal date for eliminating violence against children (that's next year!).
I hope you enjoy the articles and find a gently convincing way to share them with people that might be persuaded that spanking is not the best option for disciplining their children. Please pass the word along!

As you might have seen earlier this week, we published the first part of this series and talked about three global payments success stories: Octopus card system from Hong Kong, IMPS (Immediate Payment Service) from India and Suica/FeliCa from Japan. Today, we will look at three more payments success stories: one from the Scandinavian countries, one from Africa and another one from G3 Immediate Payments (Singapore).
In this two-part series, we will talk about payment systems that have been extremely successful in various parts of the world. The metrics we have taken are that of scale and impact. One or more of the following factors can be seen as common threads across the success stories:
1. Fundamentals are important: Merchant acceptance and adoption is important if you want to succeed. Can you lower the interchange fees?
2. Real-time payments, not just faster payments. A truly interconnected system; most countries are now looking for such payment systems.
3. Consumer adoption: NFC growth in the Scandinavian region and Japan took place because of the focus on consumer education, availability of compatible devices, acceptance infrastructure and integration of loyalty & reward points.
4. Collaboration: Meaningful ways of working together.
Denmark, Norway and Sweden have been pretty successful in payments innovation. There are some fundamental reasons for it:
Internet penetration: In Sweden, 94% of the population has access to the Internet. Across the world, the highest Internet penetration is found in Nordic countries. Sweden, Norway and Iceland are the top three countries where Internet penetration is found to be the highest.
Mobile penetration: The mobile penetration in Sweden is 150%.
Mobile internet penetration: The mobile Internet penetration in Sweden is 93%, which probably also means heavy usage of Internet and connected apps on mobile devices.
There are no adoption issues and it's a norm to use mobiles for transit tickets, buying online or paying at stores. This trend also reflects the initial work done in educating customers.
Examples of Telecom-Led Programs: Swedish mobile phone operators Telia, Tele2 & Telenor jointly started a service in 2013 called WyWallet—their own payment system—which opened the gates for 97% of Swedish mobile phone users to pay for goods at participating businesses.
Examples of Third Party-Led Programs: Swedish mobile payment specialist, Seamless, has done a lot of good work in partnership with various banks in the region. SEQR added NFC tag-based payments in April 2013. In 2011, Seamless announced that its transaction switch does over 2.4 billion transactions per year at over 525,000 point-of-sale systems. Its transaction fees are much lower than for card payments. SEQR halves the transaction costs compared with the costs for card payments.
The m-pesa mobile service was launched in March 2007 by Safaricom Limited. This made Kenya the first country in the world to implement a successful mobile money transfer service.
- The service currently has 13 million active monthly users representing nearly 50% of all Safaricom subscribers.
- According to reports by Safaricom, transactions valued at 87% of Kenya's GDP passed through m-pesa last year.
- Mobile - Enabling Technologies money also constitutes a very big part of Safaricom's annual revenues which grossed $333.73 million over the last year, largely through fees.
- In May 2015, the company announced $320 million in annual profit, which has gone up by 38% from last year. While voice still remained the leading source of income for the company, m-pesa rang in a 23% growth with data seeing a 59% increase. Of the three players in the segment (Telkom Kenya, Airtel and Safaricom), only Safaricom has constantly reported profits.
Giro 3 G3 Immediate Payments is an initiative from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The Universal Payments G3 Gateway solution ensures that banks can offer real-time and bulk payments to their customers as a part of the G3 initiative.
It offers a complete transaction payments switching solution, including:
- Direct debit and direct credit payments processing.
- Interbank funds transfers.
- Acquiring transactions from different sources such as specialized security and payments devices.
- Host system integration (e.g. DDA host, Internet banking, settlement system, fraud and AML, etc.).
- A fully PCI DSS-compliant solution.
In 2009, some 84.3 million eGIRO transactions were processed, up from 81.6 million in 2008.
The value processed was SGD 218 billion, up from SGD 213 billion in 2008.
Success factors
- The G3 solution enables rapid message customization through configuration with no application programming required.
- The gateway can implement any payment message format and any mix of security methods.
- Real-time bulk payments.

Yesterday I drove out to east Olympia to pick up our package of bees from the Olympia bee club people. This is a tiny part of the order of bee packages they made this year. They arrived from California Friday night. Each package has three pounds of bees, a can of syrup and a queen in a cage.
Mark Savage gave a few demonstrations on how to hive the bee package, how to release the queen from her cage, how to place her in the hive, and how to install the feeder.
Then I signed out my three pound box of Italians and brought them home in my little Toyota. The bee club people brushed off all the hitch hikers, so I didn't get stung while driving.
I was told to wait for "15 minutes of sunshine" to install the package. In Olympia, we cram in a lot when we get "15 minutes of sunshine." It was raining on and off much of the afternoon. So we spent our time fussing with the hive until it was in its Final, Most Perfect resting place. Bees don't like it if you move their hive around. They are very good navigators, but they depend on you to leave things in the same place. The clouds broke for a minute, so we suited up and carried the bees out.
As much as I wanted to hurry and get them in the hive, I was mesmerized by the package of bees. There they were, our girls, all in one box, for the last time ever. Once we open the box, it will never be the same. It's one of those "no turning back now" moments.
I used my hive tool to pry the syrup can out of the package. Please feel free to admire my vegan cowgirl boots. I covered the whole with a paint sample sheet to encourage the bees to stay in the box.
I pulled the queen cage out. It was totally covered in bees like a magical ball of bees. This is testament to the power of her scent. These bees don't even know this queen, but they love her so much. I gently brushed them away and they started flying around.
And then, there she was, Her Royal Highness. She's going to determine everything about our hive, so I hope she's a good queen. Levi said, in hushed tones, "She's beautiful."
There's a cork in the queen cage, which is pretty easy to pull out with a screw. Just take care not to screw the screw into the queen. Then you replace the cork with a candy plug or a mini marshmallow. Mark Savage told the newbees that he recommends putting a small nail through the candy plug and roughing up the edge of it just to give the bees something good to hold onto and make it easier to chew through. They have to get through this to release their queen. This is supposed to give them enough time to get to know her before they are in physical contact, so they won't harm her.
We nestled the queen cage in between two frames, and carefully, gently, with excruciating slowness and delicacy, rolled the box on top. I had to make some adjustments after this photo was taken. The queen cage should be directly underneath the hole in the box. The bees in the box think, "Hrmm, there is food, there is a queen, there is comb down there… what am i doing in this box!?" Then they move into the hive and start the business of running a hive. Hopefully!
Then, we put the second box over the whole contraption and closed it up. We're supposed to leave it for 24 hours, then go back to see if the queen has been released yet, shake out the bee box and remove the syrup feeder. It is really hard to wait to check on them, but we're distracting ourselves with all the other work we need to do on our microfarm. So cross your fingers for our little bee colony. We will report back as soon as we have more news. My hope is that Levi will come up with a phenomenal name for the queen. I'm also accepting suggestions of names for her – you know, the "too weird to name your baby" names are perfect for queen bees.

Violence Mars APC Presidential Rally In Ogun
Violence Mars APC Presidential Rally In Ogun
The presidential rally of All Progressives Congress (APC) held on Monday in Abeokuta, the Ogun state was disrupted as hoodlums suspected to be working for a certain opposition political party disrupted the event.
It was observed that the hoodlums successfully chased away supporters of the APC governorship candidate in the state, Dapo Abiodun before laying siege at the main bowl of the M.K.O Abiola International Stadium, venue of the rally, chanting the anti-Abiodun's slogans.
Not even the presence of President Muhammadu Buhari, who was already seated would deter the hoodlums who threatened further attacks on the dignitaries seated with the president at the podium.
The hoodlums however, hurled abuses on the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, shouting "thief, thief, theif" and eventually stoned him before ending his address.
The political thugs also displayed conspicuously, the banner of a rival political party, Allied People's Movement (APM) at the event before Governor Amosun called them to order.
The development also forced the state governor, Ibikunle Amosun to plead with the hoodlums believed to be loyalists of the governorship candidate of APM, Hon. Abdulkabir Adekunle Akinlade not to disgrace him before president.
When the situation became tensed, twice the President Buhari's security attaché had to encircle the president in order to protect him from being harmed by the sticks, sachets of nylon water and other dangerous objects which the hoodlums threw at the podium where the president and other dignitaries were seated.
The programme however, came to an abrupt end when President Buhari raised the hand of the APC governorship candidate in the state, Dapo Abiodun up and the hoodlums threw plastics of bottled-water at him, thereby forcing the president to abruptly end his address.
Outside the stadium, the convoy of APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and that of the former Osun state governor, Rauf Aregbesola were also stoned with sticks and sachets of nylon water.
Earlier in his speech, governor Amosun had charged his supporters to ensure that they cast their votes for President Buhari this coming Saturday, while they cast their votes for another candidate of their choice during the gubernatorial election coming on 2nd March, 2019.
Amosun's statement however, appeared to have boosted the ego of the hoodlums and other supporters into taking the action which they did.
But responding to Amosun's statement, former governor Aregbesola had warned Amosun and his supporters to desist from act of hypocrisy regarding the gubernatorial election in the state.
Meanwhile, in the mêlée that ensured outside the main bowl of the M.K.O. Abiola International Stadium, scores of people suspected to be loyalists of Dapo Abiodun were injured, while the former state Commissioner for Forestry, Kola Lawal who is now contesting the House of Representatives of the Yewa South/Ipokia Federal Constituency on the platform of APM was also allegedly macheted.
But speaking earlier in his address, President Muhammad Buhari had promised that his administration would focus on security, economy and fight against corruption if re-elected for another term of four years.
The president said: "I am here specifically to thank you for coming out in your numbers despite the weather, to see and listen to us. I will like to remind you in 2015 our party, the all progressives congress made different promise and undertaking security, economy and fighting corruption.
"Where ever i go I try to update Nigerians on our performance for the past three and half years, the people of the north eastern Nigeria are the one mostly affected then by insecurity.
"Boko Haram has visually degraded the whole region, the problem in the north west and North Central is about the stagnant farmers which is under control".
"On the economy we are lucky, the last three seasons, there's a lot of rains which the government has try to provide fertilizer and reduce the price it used to be. We have now achieve food security Lagos, ogun, kebbi, ebonyi, jigawa are among the states who are doing well in producing rice, we are visually self -sufficient in rice.
"When we talk about infrastructure, we are building road, rails and power, you will be the witnesses by the time we complete the next four years.
"I admit you to practice your civic right to come out next Saturday and on the 2nd of March to choose whoever you like across the parties".
"This is your right so there is no problem about it, I have no problem about it and you shouldn't have problems about it"

One of the first things you learn as a parent of a child with special needs is that you need to advocate for your child. As much as the school districts and professionals are there to help you along the way, you-the parent, know your child better than anyone else. You are just as an important member of that PPT team as the special education teacher, the speech pathologist, and the physical therapist, etc.
There are steps you can take to be a good advocate for your child in and out of the school setting:

We've worked with many successful partners who attribute some of the strength in their partnership to time spent in social activities as they got to know each other: golfing, biking, weekend travel with spouses. Yet we continue to see partners seeking mediation who had terrific social relationships but have profound problems in their business partnership.
New research by Noam Wasserman at Harvard Business School, as well as internal research done at Google, shows that having strong social bonds is not a predictor of how well work teams perform. In research focused specifically on entrepreneurial partnerships, those formed based on social ties scored lowest in partnership stability.
It's true that spending time in a social situation with those you do not know well can help you see red flags about how they might behave in work situations, but nothing replaces actually working together for predicting strong long-term partnerships. In fact, the strong social compatibility you have with friends and family may be counterproductive when it comes to forming a partnership. The Harvard team found that the hierarchy of relationships that form the most stable partnerships is:
- Work relationships
- Strangers/acquaintances
- Families/ friends
Of course, this is the opposite of the order that many people seek their business partners. It is natural to look first to family and friends, people you are already comfortable with and have some level of trust. Unfortunately this often means there are preconceived notions about how work relationships will play out that are not tested, or even very deeply discussed, before launching the business.
This may also be why partnership among strangers and acquaintances have greater stability. Online services like CoFoundersLab make it easier to find strangers who fit the business needs of your company. These types of pairings can lead to more due diligence in testing the partnership fit since there are fewer assumptions and no pre-existing relationship to worry about damaging by having open and thorough conversations about expectations.
If you want to do something fun outside of the office to test or strengthen your partnership the most beneficial bonding is trying something that is new for everyone. There is neuroscience research showing that these types of activities activate different parts of your brain and help you look at even very familiar things (and people) in new ways.
While it is never a bad idea to spend quality time with a partner or prospective partner outside of the office, enjoying golf, biking, skiing or any fun experience together, it's important to know that even if you get along brilliantly while doing so, it may not translate to success in your partnership.

Today is a very special day for two reasons. Chad and I are celebrating three married years together! I am so grateful to have found a man who loves the Lord and seeks His will, a man who encourages and supports me, and a man who makes me laugh. I love you, Chad.
Today also marks baby girl's halfway point; 20 weeks! The miracle of life is so overwhelming. Just a couple of weeks ago we watched our baby girl squirm about on the ultrasound and-as I type this-I can feel her movements in my belly. Maybe we're going to be meeting a rising soccer star?! I simply cannot wait to meet her. However, I did recently receive some great advice from a brand new mother of two last night:
slow down and enjoy the moment your child is in before it is gone.
I'll try so hard not to wish away the next 20 weeks and enjoy being pregnant. Baby girl will arrive soon enough.

Junk joules
Published 9 October 1999
From Louis Balazs, Purdue University
Robert Matthews mentions Roger Penrose's mad-scientist proposal to extract

(28 August, p 24).
The hole would eat up the junk and hurl
the empty skip back out again with more energy than it had before.
Unfortunately, the closest such hole is likely to be too far away to be

Greek Handball Federation unsuccessful in its bid to overturn decision by Disciplinary Commission at Women's 17 EHF Championship
Appeal by Greek Handball Federation rejected
Following the decision to expel the Greek national team from the Women's 17 EHF Championship, an appeal was lodged by the Greek Handball Federation.
After due consideration of all aspects of the case, including a statement from the Greek Handball Federation, the event's Jury Commission upheld the decision of the Disciplinary Commission.
The Greek team will therefore play no further part in the event in FYR Macedonia and its fine of €25.000 was confirmed.

Information about Schengen Visa Countries
26 countries in total form the Schengen Area by entering into a mutual agreement to allow the free movement of all Schengen nationals, remove internal borders and strengthen the external ones. 22 of those countries are European Union members, while other the other 4 are part of the EFTA (European Free Trade Association).
Besides the 26 member countries in the Schengen Zone, three microstates are also a part of this area. A Schengen visa also grants entry to the following microstates:
- The Vatican
- Monaco
- San Marino
Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, and Cyprus are part of the European Union but do not form part of the Schengen Agreement. You will find detailed information regarding the short-term visas for each of these countries below.
Following is a list of the Schengen member states that will require non-European nationals, who currently do not need a short-term entry visa, to apply for an ETIAS travel authorization, should they travel to any of the ETIAS countries listed below:
These are the following countries that will require a valid ETIAS upon arrival
Currently, there are 22 European countries that form part of the Schengen Area:
Non-EU Member States:
Micro-States de facto part of Schengen Area:
- Monaco
- San Marino
- Vatican City
- EU Schengen Area
- Non-Schengen EU States
- Non-EU Schengen States
Apart from those 26 Schengen states, there are 6 non-Schengen European Union members:
United Kingdom and Northern Ireland
Most nationals from visa-exempt Schengen Area countries can also enter the United Kingdom without the need to previously make a visa application. Such countries are:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Citizens from the countries listed above do not require a visa when traveling to the United Kingdom for a short-term stay of a maximum of 90 days.
Even though no previous visa application is required, travelers should be able to provide proof of sufficient financial means or an official current residential address document at the passport control check. Following is a list of the types of documents that will allow the border control officers to better determine the traveler's eligibility to cross the British border:
- A bank statement or an official letter from the applicant's employer with proof of earnings will help prove the traveler's financial situation and ability to support themselves while in the U.K.
- Proof of legal residence such as residential card or a bill with the traveler's name and address clearly visible
- Proof of employment or ongoing studies
- Travelers who are under 18 years of age are advised to provide a birth certificate, as well as a letter from their parents, confirming the reason for the trip such as living arrangements and financial situation. A copy of the parent's passports may be required
These are the general border crossing regulations for citizens of visa-exempt countries. Similar type of proof is asked of standard visa applicants for the U.K.
Republic of Ireland
The Republic of Ireland is still not part of the Schengen Area. However, there is a rather large number of countries whose citizens can enter Ireland without having to apply for a visa. These countries are:
- United States
- Canada
- Argentina
- Brasil
- Taiwan
- South Korea
- Japan, and more.
Although citizens from the countries mentioned above currently do not need a visa to travel to Ireland, it is very probable that in the near future that will change and they will require an ETIAS visa waiver to cross Ireland's border. To learn more about the visa regime in Ireland, visit the official Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade's website.
Similar to the rest of countries on this list, Romania is not yet part of the Schengen Area. However, Romania is a member of the European Union. The Romanian Government has decided to authorize foreign nationals who have a Schengen visa to enter Romania for a short-term stay, as long as they have they meet all of the requirements.
U.S. citizens do not require a visa to enter Romania for a period of up to 90 days, every 180 days (6 months). However, once the ETIAS application is implemented and operational, this will change and citizens from countries that currently do not need a visa to enter Romania, including the U.S., will need to apply for an ETIAS.
On January 25, 2012, the Bulgarian Government decided that all Schengen visa holders may enter and exit Bulgaria freely. However, there are a few requirements to be followed:
- Third country nationals must carry a valid Schengen visa
- The number of entries and time they may remain in Bulgaria may not exceed that of the Schengen visa
- Those who have exceeded the number of entries and/or days to remain within the Schengen Area stated in their Schengen visa will not be allowed in Bulgaria with that same visa
- A valid short-term national visa for Ireland, the U.K., Cyprus, Romania or Croatia will not allow its holder to enter Bulgaria
Once the ETIAS travel authorization system is implemented all citizens from the 60 countries, including the U.S., who currently do not need a visa for Bulgaria, will be required to complete an ETIAS online application.
Croatia is one of the few countries that does not require visas from the U.S., Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and EU nationals even before joining the European Union in 2013. Currently there are over 50 other countries that can enter and exit Croatia without a visa, but because Croatia is part of the ETIAS agreement, this will soon change, and citizens from the visa waiver countries will need to apply for an ETIAS travel authorization.
Cyprus, similar to the rest of the countries in the non-Schengen European list, does not require citizens from over 50 different countries to apply for a visa before their trip to any of the Schengen member states. However, this is about to change and soon they will also require an ETIAS authorization from all visitors.
There are 4 Non-EU Schengen States:
There are 3 countries that are not part of the Schengen Area or the European Union but have opened their borders to Schengen members:
- Monaco
- San Marino
- Vatican City
Types of Schengen Visa
A Schengen Visa, issued by any of the Schengen member states, authorizes its holders to travel freely and cross the internal borders of any EU Schengen countries. It also grants the right to enter all the EFTA Schengen countries. The European Union member countries that are not part of the Schengen countries also grant a visa-free entry to third country nationals, as long as they hold a valid Schengen visa and the non-Schengen European country has a visa waiver agreement with that given country (refer to the information per country above). Тhere are 3 types of Schengen visas:
The Uniform Schengen Visa, issued by one of the Schengen Area member countries, permits residence in the desired Schengen country for a maximum of 90 days, during a period of 180 days from the initial entry date. The USV can also be used as a transit visa.
There are 3 subcategories of the Uniform Schengen Visa:
a) Single-entry visa: This Uniform Schengen Visa allows its holder to enter a Schengen country once for a limited period of time. After the foreign visitor exits the country, the visa expires automatically.
b) Double-entry visa: The regulations mentioned above apply to the double-entry visa, as well. The only difference is that a double-entry visa holder can enter a Schengen member state twice. After the second exit (second crossing of an external Schengen border), the visa expires automatically.
c) Multiple-entry visa: Holders of a multiple-entry visa can enter and exit the Schengen member states any number of times during the validity period of the visa. However, their stay may not exceed 90 days for every 6 months, starting from the entry date.
2. Limited Territorial Validity Visa (LTV)
Holders of the LTV may only enter the Schengen member country that has issued the visa. They will not be able to enter any other Schengen countries, unless previously authorized during the visa application process. Holders of an LTV Visa cannot enter, nor transit to any other country except the one that issued the visa.
National Visas are granted to individuals who will be studying, working or permanently residing in any of the Schengen Area countries. Under normal circumstances, the National Visa is a single-entry visa for a limited period, which would cover the exact purpose of the applicant's visa request, be it employment or education related.
Following are the requirements to apply for a multi-entry National Visa:
- An official document, confirming the international educational program with a maximum of 1 year right to remain.
- The candidate is applying for pedagogical work at a higher research or educational center.
- The applicant is a professional who is traveling to Europe due to his/hers proficiency in sports, art or any other profession, related to sharing expertise.
- An emergency prevents the individual from returning to his home country and is required to remain in the Schengen Area for a specific period of time.
Requirements for Schengen Tourist Visa
Following is a guide on the general requirements for a Schengen Visa. However, it is advisable to consult the local embassy/consulate for further information regarding each application, as well as where the Schengen visa interview will take place.
- Complete and sign the ETIAS application form.
- Attach a recent passport-style photo that shows a full, clear, and front view of your face with a white or off-white background.
- The passenger's passport along with photocopies of all previous Schengen visas. The passport must have at least 2 blank pages and be valid for a minimum of 3 months, prior to departure.
- Round trip reservations such as hotel/room/flight bookings, together with their identifying reservation numbers. The flight information must clearly indicate the traveler's entry and exit dates from the Schengen Area.
- Travel health insurance, covering the whole travel period within the Schengen member states.
- Proof of sufficient financial means to support oneself during the trip.

I have to confess that I have been known to obsess over a recipe. And this one became a big-time obsession. I tinkered with this over an entire summer, working to find just the right proportion of whipped egg white, cream, and the best kind of chocolate to use, to create a dessert that is at once creamy, fragrant, full-flavored and, well, unforgettable. And of course it can also be made in the spring, fall, and winter! This dessert differs from a classic chocolate mousse in which would contain egg yolks as well as whites. The proof is in the pudding, as they say, and I have literally seen guests scraping the serving bowl clean. I consider this success!
8 to 12 servings
A sifter; a 6-quart (6 l) metal bowl; a heavy-duty mixer fitted with a whisk; a 1 1/2-quart (1.5 l) saucepan; an attractive 2-quart (2 l) serving bowl.
10 ounces (300 g) 70% bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (see Notes)
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon Homemade Vanilla Extract (recipe on page 439 of My Master Recipes or pure vanilla extract
2 cups (500 ml) heavy cream
3 large egg whites, free-range and organic, at room temperature (see Notes)
1 cup (120 g) confectioners' sugar, sifted
In our tests, we found best results with Lindt Excellence 70%, a chocolate, which is readily available at supermarkets. Be cautious about using just any chocolate; in chocolate with less than 70% cacao the final result will not always be firm enough.
1. Place the chocolate in the metal bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and vanilla extract.
2. In the saucepan, bring the cream just to a simmer over moderate heat. Pour the hot cream into the bowl with the chocolate, and, working rapidly, mix with a wooden spoon to melt the chocolate until you have a smooth and glossy texture, about 2 minutes. Let cool.
3. In the bowl of the mixer, whisk the egg whites at highest speed until frothy, about 10 seconds. Continue whisking until soft peaks form, about 1 minute more. Add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk at highest speed until satiny and stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes more. The mixture should be airy, glossy, and stiff like a meringue.
4. Add about one-quarter of the egg white mixture to the cooled chocolate mixture to lighten it. Whisk gently until no streaks of white remain. Spoon the rest of the egg white mixture on top of the mixture in the bowl. Fold in the whipped egg white by hand: Using the edge of the spatula or a large metal spoon, cut through the two mixtures until you reach the bottom, then draw the spoon along the bottom of the bowl. Turn your wrist to bring the spoon up the side of the bowl, lightly bringing the chocolate mixture from the bottom to the top. As you do so, turn the bowl about 45 degrees, lightly overturning the spoon to fold the chocolate on top of the egg whites. Turning the bowl as you fold will incorporate the mixtures more efficiently. Continue cutting into the mixture and folding until just incorporated.
5. Pour the mixture into the serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 6 hours or up to 1 week. The dessert will be firmer than a mousse but not as firm as a cake or brownie. Scoop into ice cream bowls with an ice-cream scoop or large, rounded spoon. Serve chilled.
Raw eggs are used in this preparation. Consuming raw eggs may increase the risk of foodborne illness. Raw eggs should be avoided by the very young and the very old, pregnant women, and anyone with a compromised immune system.
Mix about 1/2 cup (60 g) of chocolate cacao nibs into the chocolate mixture before folding, and/or sprinkle the top of the satin with cacao nibs at serving time.
This dessert can be prepared up to 1 week in advance, covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated.

Well the holidays were long but summer was certainly brief. To compound the fact that summer is over aside from the grey skies and the rain, some of the shops are making room for the "C" word already. Frankly the "C" word should be banned until 1st December, four months of it is just too much and by the time we get there it is no longer special. Moan moan.
So to bring a bit of sunshine back into our lives and to forget the "C" word here is one of my all time favourite piano concertos - Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No 2 Op 102, it is heavenly from start to finish and if you don't know it you are in for a real treat. It is very different from some of the composers earlier works in that it is full of optimism and a sense of freedom that followed the death of the Russian dictator - Stalin. The beautiful second movement with it's lyrical lines and soulful sound is altogether more akin to the music of Rachmaninov.
Piano Concerto No 2 was one of the last works that Shostakovich wrote for his children. It was written in 1957 as a birthday gift for his 19 year old son Maxim who then gave it it's first performance. It is one of the composers more light hearted works, full of energy avoiding some of the more traditional virtuosity possibly to show off his son's particular talents. It was on the strength of this work that Maxim gained entrance to the Moscow Conservatoire.
Shostakovich was one of the last composers who was both traditionalist and modern. He had a difficult life and worked almost entirely under the influence of the Stalin communist regime in the form of intellectual slavery. Terrified he would end up in the labour camps, he felt under pressure to compose music to please the regime which he endeavoured to do with varying success up until the death of Stalin in 1953, at which point the artistic freeze began to thaw. However the stress took it's toll and in 1966 he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition at which point his music became more morose and morbid and he died in August 1975 aged 69.
Also on this recording is Concerto No 1 in C minor for piano, trumpet and strings. At the time of writing this work he told a friend that he was thinking of giving up composing and returning to his career as a concert pianist. Fortunately the concerto was a huge success when he played it at the premier in 1933. It came at the right time and got the composer back on track with the communist regime. Although it came twenty years before the second piano concerto, it is much more modern sounding. The work started as a trumpet concerto but as time went on became a piano concerto, although the trumpet is still prominent.
This is an all Russian partnership of this magnificent piano concerto by Dimitri Shostakovich with conductor Valery Gergiev and pianist Denis Matsuev and in my view is a great recording. Watch Matsuev play the second movement conducted by Gergiev on youTube.
