2016's Nuclear Security Index
There is no room for complacency on nuclear security.
US President Barack Obama took office with a vision for a world free of the threat of nuclear weapons. Curiously, in his final State of the Union address on Jan. 13, with the exception of the Iran deal, he failed to mention nuclear issues. Yet while he may not have succeeded in the vision of a world free of nuclear weapons, he did initiate and will preside over the final nuclear security summit whereby all the world's leaders with relevant nuclear programs signed on to the agenda of securing all civilian nuclear materials and facilities. The first summit was held in Washington in April 2010 and the final one will be held there this year.
In this endeavour, too, NGOs have been active, with the most prominent being the Washington-based Nuclear Threat Initiative. (Disclosure: The Asia-Pacific Leadership Network, of which professor Chung-in Moon from Yonsei University in Seoul and I are the co-convenors, is supported by NTI). Founded in 2001 by philanthropist businessman Ted Turner and former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn, NTI is actively engaged in shaping, developing and implementing nuclear security programs. In 2008, in partnership with others and collaboration wit the IAEA, NTI helped to set up the World Institute for Nuclear Security in Vienna. With over 3,000 members from 115 countries, WINS brings together those responsible for looking after nuclear security to swap ideas, share best practices and exchange lessons learned. Last year NTI also helped set up the IAEA-administered, low-enriched uranium international nuclear fuel bank in Kazakhstan to facilitate the peaceful use of nuclear energy with minimal proliferation threats.
The flagship NTI publication is the biennial Nuclear Security Index, the third edition of which was published Jan. 14 in Washington. Prepared jointly by NTI and the Economist Intelligence Unit with the mission of developing global standards and best practices for securing all nuclear materials, the release of all three has been widely covered by the global media.
The 2016 index tells us a lot that is interesting. Australia maintains its overall top ranking among the world's 24 states with weapons-useable nuclear materials, but it is joined by six other states with a perfect score of 100. Of the 24, four became parties to key international agreements related to nuclear materials security during the biennium, six made new voluntary commitments (such as contributing to the IAEA Nuclear Security Fund), and eight passed or updated laws and regulations on cybersecurity.
Japan is assessed as the most improved state, bettering its score by 27 from two years ago to join the group at the top with perfect scores. Among nuclear-armed states, France, the U.S. and the United Kingdom score the highest while the U.S., India, Russia and the U.K. are the most improved.
Rankings aside, on the upside, 12 countries decreased their quantities of weapons-usable nuclear materials over the four-year period measured by the index, and Uzbekistan removed all of its weapons-usable nuclear material. On the downside, no improvements have been made in the core protection and control measures assessed by the NTI Index.
More worrying, the current global system for securing nuclear materials has major gaps that prevent it from being comprehensive and effective: no common set of international standards and best practices exists, there is no mechanism for holding states with lax security accountable, and the legal foundation for securing materials is neither complete nor universally observed.
Most worrying, as my center reported in our own state of play on nuclear weapons last year, 83 percent of all fissile stocks are military materials and thus remain outside existing international security mechanisms. Moreover, participation in international peer review — a very effective tool for improving performance and building confidence in others about the integrity of a state's security remains — limited: only 16 of the 24 states with weapons-usable nuclear materials have had a nuclear security peer review in the past five years, and seven have never had one.
An act of sabotage against a nuclear facility could result in a significant radiological release, similar in scale to the release when a tsunami hit the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011. The 2016 index for the first time assesses nuclear security conditions related to the protection of nuclear facilities against acts of sabotage for 45 countries with nuclear power plants or research reactors.
The index finds troubling shortfalls in how well countries are protecting nuclear facilities against sabotage and the emerging threat of cyberattacks. Twenty states lack even basic requirements to protect nuclear facilities from cyberattacks and score zero. Too many countries remain unprepared to deal with cyberattacks that might lead to sabotage.
Overly-sensitive governments will attack the messenger with full "Yes Minister-style" efforts to belittle and discredit the index and NTI, casting aspersions on methodology, motives, bias, data reliability, etc. But sensible states will make full use of the NTI Nuclear Security Index as a global benchmark against which to track and improve their own record.

Kolkata, March 17:
Taking cognizance of the gang rape of a septuagenarian nun in Nadia district, the West Bengal Human Rights Commission has sought a report from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), an official said on Tuesday.
In an incident that has caused revulsion in the state and beyond, the nun was brutalised by a gang of bandits inside the Convent of Jesus and Mary in Ranaghat, some 80 km from Kolkata on Saturday.
"The commission has taken cognizance and directed the Additional Director General (Criminal Investigation Department) Rajeev Kumar and Nadia Superintendent of Police Arnab Ghosh to submit a report at the earliest," a commission official told IANS.
"After studying the report, the commission will make its recommendations," added the official.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, too, has expressed concern over the Ranaghat gang rape as well as the vandalisation of a church in Haryana, and sought a report on these incidents.
"PMO has asked for immediate report on facts and action taken regarding the incidents in Haryana and West Bengal," the PMO tweeted on Tuesday.
While the police have detained 10 people, their failure to arrests the culprits yet has created a furore among Ranaghat locals, who on Monday blocked the convoy of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. She had gone there to meet the survivor, now admitted to a hospital.
The demonstrators demanded a CBI probe into the matter, drawing angry reactions from Banerjee. She blamed the opposition, including the BJP, for politicising the incident.

#TeamFaryal: 5 reasons why Amir Khan is the epitome of 'bad guys'
Amir Khan and Faryal Makhdoom have certainly been Pakistan's most interesting couple since they got together. Whether it is through their Snapchat feed or their Instagram posts, we have all witnessed the couple's memories together.
Somehow it feels like their history of social media spats is almost as long as the history of their relationship. While many celebrities keep their personal lives far away from social media, Amir and Faryal are constantly seen addressing personal matters or doing their dirty laundry in the public eye.
Some call it a PR tactic, others call it stupidity. At the end of the day, their drama makes excellent celebrity gossip, and everyone loves gossip when it isn't about them.
Lately, however, following their relationship drama has revealed ugly truths about Amir that leave only one obvious conclusion – he doesn't seem like a great guy. Wondering why? Well, have a look at the evidence:
1. Their marriage was plagued by his cheating rumours
There was no shortage of cheating rumours during their relationship, but interestingly, these rumours were always about Amir. The allegations of infidelity against him kept piling up, including a sex scandal after a video of him was uploaded to a pornographic website. Faryal herself accused Amir of cheating:
2. People may call Faryal an attention seeker, but it is Amir who aired their dirty laundry in public
A few months ago, the couple broke the internet by spilling all their dirty secrets during a Twitter feud.
Amir is the one who started the Twitter rant, with a tweet declaring that the couple have decided to part ways. After reading his tweet, we thought (and hoped) that that is probably the end of it, but we couldn't have been more wrong.
So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.
— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) August 4, 2017
However, Amir did not stop tweeting. In the tweets that followed, he accused Faryal of cheating on him, going as far as posting a Snapchat conversation screenshot claiming that his wife had an extra-marital affair with another boxer, Anthony Joshua.
Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer 🙄 @anthonyfjoshua pic.twitter.com/1GBAQnvzMC
— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) August 4, 2017
Mans like Joshua can have my left overs!
— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) August 4, 2017
First, the screenshot that Amir posted gave away nothing; we don't understand what he thought it was going to accomplish. Perhaps he was aware that his male privilege would automatically make Faryal seem like a home-wrecker in the eyes of the public. After a while, he posted another tweet, apologising for his misunderstanding of Faryal and Anthony. This incident, however, made it clear exactly how immature Amir is; to point fingers at his wife and accuse another man publically without confirming the news first.
After all this time, after all the scandals and the leaked sex tapes, Faryal stood by her husband; her personal choice and we respect that. But Amir has no right to call his wife a cheating gold digger when that man has no honest bone in his body. All those alleged sex scandals weren't alleged after all, because Faryal finally broke her silence on Twitter, though she later deleted them, showing a sense of decency which Amir clearly lacks.
All of this just makes him seem petty as well as a cheater. We don't know whether Faryal cheated or not, but we do know that coming from him, this moral awakening seems a tad hypocritical.
Faryal definitely comes out looking like the more mature one, which, looking at Amir, doesn't seem hard to do.
3. Posted videos of himself with other women… days after confirming the split
Amir announced the end of his marriage, and not even a week later was seen partying with an unknown woman. He's free to do as he wants, of course, but it makes his accusations towards his wife feel like the pot calling the kettle black.
When called out for it, his response was to blame Faryal for "drawing him into it".
4. He ignored her public apology, and tweeted some more
After all the drama, it was revealed that Faryal was pregnant with the couple's second child, after which she attempted reconciliation and apologised for her behaviour.
Amir, however, took to Twitter to end things. He didn't even delete his tweets, unlike Faryal who deleted hers. Harsh.
We have to think about our daughter Lamaisah who I will always be there for. I wish Faryal all the very best for the future
— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) September 21, 2017
Unfortunately it didn't work out between Me and Faryal and we are still going ahead with the divorce. We are in good talking terms.
— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) September 21, 2017
5. 'My wife has turned into Kylie Jenner'
This is just the icing on top of everything else Amir has done to make him seem like the bad guy.
He was allegedly talking to a teacher named Sophie and sending her sleazy texts and calling her late at night. She claims that Amir told her that he left his wife because she had become obsessed with plastic surgery. He allegedly said that no man would want a one-night stand with her now.
To say such horrible things about a woman, and that too his own wife, is absolutely disgraceful. They will soon have two children together, who will one day grow up to see their father saying horrible things about their own mother.
It is absolutely disgusting that not only has he tried to slander her reputation, but also publicly ignored and humiliated her, and has also apparently admitted that the real reason was as shallow as we now realise Amir actually is.
The media has, more often than not, taken Amir's side, making his actions seem justified. We're not saying she's perfect, but the slut-shaming, the hypocritical behaviour, all of it definitely makes Amir the worse one out of the two. If he's really as bad as he seems, we're honestly glad Faryal doesn't have to put up with him anymore.
More power to you, girl!

learning to ride a bike
I've mentioned a couple times that I'm planning to do my first triathlon in August. (Technically, my second. I did an 'indoor tri' at the Y and–spoiler alert–I finished far and away on top.) I swam up through highschool (and have tried to stay in the pool on a *fairly* regular basis since then), I teach cycle at the Y, and I run regularly. For awhile now I've felt like doing a tri would be a no-brainer, I simply haven't ever felt like it was ever a good time to start training. I'm not sure what it is about this summer, but THIS SUMMER I feel the need to do a triathlon. Continue reading "learning to ride a bike"

When Uber and Lyft first began to launch commercial ridehailing services approximately six years ago, policymakers and planners were unprepared for how these services would transform transportation in cities.
To address a number of issues, including, primarily, concerns of whether for-hire vehicle (FHV) drivers are still able to earn a decent wage and the growth in urban congestion, last week the New York City Council voted to cap the number of for-hire vehicles from services like Uber. A key question is whether a cap was the most appropriate policy for New York City, and more broadly, whether other cities should consider hard limits on the number of ridehailing vehicles.
Many urban planners and transportation economists tend to agree that there are other, more effective solutions to help steer cities towards safer, cleaner, and efficient streets than hard caps on vehicles.
As a former transportation research scientist at Stanford and UC Davis, last year I produced the first independent, national research report on the impacts of ridehailing services on public transit and vehicle ownership. This study, based on representative data gathered over the course of two years in major U.S. metropolitan regions, including New York City, Boston, San Francisco and others, found that ridehailing services have mixed results on vehicle ownership and public transit.
One of the most widely-cited statistics from this 2017 research study was that 60% of people said that if services like Uber or Lyft weren't available, they would have taken public transit, biked, walked, or not made the trip at all. However, in the original study, we noted that between 49% to 61% of trips might have been made via more sustainable options. (The upper bound is based on weighted data where responses from those who use Uber and Lyft services frequently are proportionally weighted more.)
The upper bound of the first national study has been re-cited in a new report. However, there are several nuanced findings from the original work that cities and policymakers should take careful note of as they consider whether and how to regulate ridehailing services going forward:
So how can cities most effectively manage and integrate new private mobility solutions?
It is up to transportation policymakers and planners to chart a course for the future of transportation that is safer, cleaner, and equitable. This starts by making tough decisions that prioritize space-efficient, lower-carbon transportation alternatives. Solo drivers with no passengers (ridehailing or not) should pay more for hogging streets. Similarly, public transit vehicles and micro-mobility services should be rewarded with dedicated lanes for moving people more efficiently.
We can't view ridehailing or other private mobility services as a silver bullet to all of our transportation woes, but we should also be careful not to stomp out innovation just because it challenges the status quo.

Maleficent's Cloak
Interweave SKU: EP10357
Maleficent, the evil villain in Sleeping Beauty, is horrifyingly beautiful, in the way evil presents its illusion until it is unmasked. Her cloak is a powerful part of her presence, sweeping and undulating around her. With a dropped-stitch wave pattern, this cloak emulates that sinister quality. Knitted from wrist to neck for each side, the wrap includes garter-stitch ridges for a series of flattering vertical lines. The ribbed double collar sweeps up and back in an elegant fold around the V-neck. With elements of fantasy and everyday life, this piece combines the spectacular with the practical to create a beautiful garment. (Interweave)
Finished Size: About 54" wide from cuff to cuff and 44" long at center back.
Yarn: Classic Elite Liberty Wool (100% washable wool; 122 yd [112 m]/1-3/4 oz [50 g]): # 7827 wine, 28
Needles: Cloak-size 7 (4.5 mm): 24" circular (cir). Collar-size 5 (3.75 mm): 24" cir. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Markers (m); waste yarn; spare needle, size 7 (4.5 mm) or smaller; tapestry needle.

The following statement was agreed by the elected PCS Left Unity National Committee.
Comrades will be aware that Jeremy Hunt intends to impose new contracts on junior doctors. PCS members are all too well aware of this and previous government's attitude to the imposition in changes to our own terms and conditions such as pensions, the compensation scheme etc. So we should have every sympathy with the doctors and their fight to protect the NHS, their terms and conditions and the excessive hours culture that many of our members now face.
Left Unity unequivocally calls on comrades to support the doctor's dispute anyway they can. By attending picket lines, encouraging branches to do the same and also inviting them to speak at local left unity meetings.
There is also a mode; motion that comrades can download and use during this years AGM season.
Their fight is our fight and Hunt needs to be shown that the public, trade unions and the whole country are behind their fight.
The following motion for PCS Annual Delegate Conference is a draft PCS activists and branches can use or build on at their branch AGMs.
Doctors Dispute/NHS
Junior doctors are fighting to defend their conditions of work, but also for patient safety and the future of the NHS. NHS workers' struggles are a vital part of defending the health service from the Tories' accelerating cuts, marketisation and privatisation.
Conference believe the junior doctors' dispute – together with student nurses' and other student health workers' fight to save their bursaries, and the return of the NHS Bill to Parliament in March – gives us an opportunity to step up our role in the fight to save the NHS.
Conference agrees:
• To support the junior doctors and student nurses by making links locally, visiting picket lines and inviting them to meetings.
• That we continue to oppose the privatisation and marketisation of the NHS and support the rebuilding of a comprehensive, well-funded, publicly-owned and run NHS.
We also instruct the NEC to campaign in the TUC and along with other unions for a national demonstration in support of these struggles, and to save and rebuild the NHS as a comprehensive public service.

Unusual Article Uncovers the Deceptive Practices of Low Cost Automation
The Death of Low Cost Automation
The integration of internet application or any bright phone application is extremely elaborate and technical as compare to android application. In the last analysis, designing a healthcare facility infrastructure for the 21st century is about optimizing system integration and flexibility to make sure that the facility will continue being a fully functioning organism later on. Home automation permits you to devote quality time with your family members and earn life generally, comfortable and relaxing. It is an advanced technology that can make your day to day life very comfortable and provide convenience at your fingertips. Electronic design automation software was developed to deal with this matter.
Here's What I Know About Low Cost Automation
Later on, the maturation of the IoT marketplace will inevitably bring more compatible and reasonably priced consumer products which will be available to more people. Basically, Bespoke Software development delivers software that is made in compliance with the particular customer's needs. It addresses the maturation of new technology in the sphere of aviation, space and defense systems. Effective management of email messages is a vital bit of suitable records management, since they frequently store important company info and communications. Therefore, it can be said that nursing informatics specialists are the very best project managers since they're the link between the nursing procedure and project management practice.
What to Expect From Low Cost Automation?
The solution ought to be scalable, to enable it to grow with your organization. The organization will direct you in your house automation project from the beginning to the finish.

So, it has been almost a YEAR since I updated this blog. That is silly. I suppose I havent had anything to write about/havent needed the catharsis that blog writing offers. I am not saying the last year hasn't had its rough points but all in all, I have had a wonderful year. I met a man (woo hoo), got myself an amazing job (after a bit of unemployment) and have moved out of London after 8 years!
I am a happy happy lady and to top it all off, I managed to introduce my mum to Shikamana School in Kenya. The next post will outline more on this but I wanted to give you a bit of an update on my life!
Much Love

The Lord of Spells often appeared as an elderly man with a long, white beard garbed in antique clothes and wielding a gem-topped staff. He often came across as crotchety and cantankerous, even to other gods and was somewhat misunderstood. His dry wit and unending devotion to the pursuit of the arcane rubbed others the wrong way.[5]
In life, and beyond, Azuth maintained a dynamic relationship with his divine superior Mystra; having served as her Chosen,[14] her subordinate and her lover.[5]
Divine RealmEdit
Azuth's divine realm, located on Buxenus, the second layer of Arcadia in the Great Wheel cosmology, was also called Azuth.[6]
The clergy of Azuth were collectively known as the Magistrati and included wizards, monks and clerics within their ranks. They preferred to maintain their temples within large cities, align themselves with powerful magical guilds and act as a sort of magical administration, to facilitate communication between spellcasters and enforce the Magebond.[15]
Among the highest order of Azuth's followers were a group of arcane paragons known as the Favored. These heralds of magical development furthered the channeling of the Weave by formulating arcane processes, a process viewed as the apex of magical science among the faithful.[15]
The church of Azuth were widely viewed as archaic in their tradition, pedantic in their debates, and oblivious to the real-world problems within the Realms. They often possessed a moral neutrality that garnered an unfavorable opinion by the average layperson.[15]
- Loomwarden: A stern sect of the church of Azuth that was distrusting of sorcerers and the more chaotic nature of Mystra's power. They were particularly influential in cities like Halarahh and Bezantur.[15]
- Spellsavants: This tolerant order of mages urged for cooperation between all practitioners of the arcane and idealized the cumulative efforts of humanity as a whole to push the boundaries of magical knowledge.[15]
Relationships Edit
Azuth was served by the deities Velsharoon and Savras, the latter with which he maintained a complex relationship, having kept the Lord of Divination as prisoner for many years.[5] He also call Deneir, Oghma and Leira as allies of his,[6] and had a close relationship with Anastra Syluné Silverhand.[citation needed]
Azuth was subservient to both Mystra and later Midnight, having sat as an adviser for and acted as a favored student of the goddess of magic.[5] On one occasion he was asked by the goddess to subtly manipulate the wizard Flamsterd.[citation needed]
While his relationship with the first Mystra was one of deep mutual affection, he took a more paternal stance with her later incarnation - guiding her through a difficult time of acclimatization to her role.[6] Although he was one of Mystra's lovers,[5] he was in love with one of her Chosen, Alvaerele Tasundrym, having protected her from danger.[16]
Records of Azuth's life as a mortal were virtually non-existent and Azuth himself did not deign to answer questions regarding the topic, therefore, most of what was known of Azuth's life was legend.[17]
As a mortal man, Azuth was hungry for power, and in his search for it he studied several lost empires in the hope of finding forgotten magical secrets. Eventually his dedication lead to him being granted the title of Magister, the first of his kind, recognized by Mystra as her most promising mortal pupil.[14] At some point, Azuth believed himself no longer worthy of being called Magister, and so Mystra turned him instead to one of her Chosen.[18]
During or shortly after the Dawn Cataclysm, in his bid for divinity, Azuth sought to steal a portion of the demigod Savras' power in a gambit that ultimately failed. This led to a protracted series of battles between Azuth and Savras, culminating in a duel that shattered a mountain and created a deep lake.[14] Azuth was successful and managed to imprison the deity Savras within a staff he had created, the Scepter of Savras. And thus, with the help of Mystra who had now become his lover, Azuth finally ascended to divine status.
Azuth lost the staff, but Syluné Silverhand found it and returned it to him[14][19], whereupon Azuth began to feel guilty for imprisoning Savras and, after the Time of Troubles, freed him from his imprisonment in exchange for a pledge of fealty.
The destruction of Dweomerheart sent the dying Azuth into Asmodeus's domain of Nessus. Although many people believed the archdevil killed Azuth and consumed his divine essence to attain godhood,[7] in fact Asmodeus fused with Azuth, and both gods coexisted since then in the same body.[20] Most of the time Asmodeus overpowered Azuth, using his divine powers while the God of Wizards was in a dormant state.[21] But in a rare few occasions Azuth was able to gain dominion of their shared body, and many denizens of the Nine Hells believed Asmodeus had become mad due to his strange behavior.[22]
The Second SunderingEdit
In 1486 DR, Azuth had regained most of his strength and was able to choose Ilstan Nyaril as his Chosen.[23] Asmodeus and Azuth began to struggle for dominion over their shared body and the hierarchy of the Nine Hells was jeopardized because of that.[20][22] Ilstan and Farideh, one of the Chosen of Asmodeus, devised a plan to separate both gods and avoid a potential devil invasion to all the multiverse.[21] They contacted the god Enlil through his Chosen, Kepeshkmolik Dumuzi, and Asmodeus agreed to release Azuth from his body and to resurrect the Untherite god Nanna-Sin as a non-god immortal and in exchange Enlil allowed Asmodeus to consume Nanna-Sin's divine spark to become a god unto himself.[24] In a ritual performed in Djerad Thymar amid the First Tymanther-Unther War, on Hammer 10 of 1487 DR, Ilstan sacrificed his life to allow Azuth become an individual god once more.[25]
After the Second Sundering ended, Azuth returned to the Faerûnian pantheon.[1][13]

Christmas Message from Cllr Tony Berry, Leader Cotswold District Council
Release date: 15 December 2018
Christmas has come early for me this year! 11th December precisely when I was elected as leader of Cotswold District Council, taking over from Cllr Mark Annett who stepped down in late September for health reasons. Mark did a brilliant job considering his battle against a significant bout of illness, and I would like to thank him for his contribution. I am delighted to report that he is continues to get better whilst still doing good work as a ward councillor.
Like Mark and his predecessor Cllr Lynden Stowe, I will strive to ensure that people across the District continue to benefit from a wide and expanding range of services that are excellent value for money, whilst maintaining a strong overall financial position.
Together with Cheltenham Borough Council, Forest of Dean and West Oxfordshire District Council, we are beginning to appreciate the advantages of co-owing the Publica Group. Most of the employees from the four partner councils transferred into this not-for-profit company just over a year ago and it is well on course to deliver even better services for local residents, whilst identifying continuing savings of over the next ten years of operation. One of the biggest plus points of this way of working is that CDC retains its independence and controls service standards, as well as being responsible for the strategy, policy and decision making for the District. The future looks very bright with Publica - all the major service areas will soon be undergoing a redesign to align more closely with customer needs, and employees will be able to harness new digital technology that improves interaction with the public at any time and in any place.
Looking back over 2018, I take pride in some of the Council's major achievements. We have made further progress on many flood alleviation projects in the District and I am pleased to tell you that we delivered 247 affordable homes during 2017/18, comfortably ahead of our goal of delivering a minimum of 150. Another tremendous milestone was that our Local Plan was adopted this year and that progress is continuing on plans for a multi-storey car park at the Waterloo in Cirencester together with a joint review of the Town Centre being carried out jointly with Cirencester Town Council.
The phenomenal success of our jointly owned environmental company Ubico Ltd continues to be a source of great pride. Yet again, thanks to the efforts of our residents, we continued to achieve very high levels of recycling (almost 60%% of all household waste is recycled, reused or composted). With Christmas just around the corner, we are urging residents to support the current seasonal campaign which encourages a wider range of 'recycling, reuse and reduce' initiatives.
This is only the tip of the iceberg - please visit our website www.cotswold.gov.uk to find out more about our achievements, including our Review of the Year for 2017/18.
Finally, on behalf of everyone at the Council, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I( would also like to thank the staff at Publica and Ubico for working so hard this year to deliver such good results for the Council.
Cllr Tony 'Blue' Berry
Leader Cotswold District Council

Keep Your Edge
Investing in your employees also means investing in a strong compensation strategy. It's difficult to overstate just how critical this is to your ability to build and maintain a skilled and motivated workforce and achieve organizational success.
Your compensation strategy should encompass strategic guidelines and tactical policies that define compensation management and outline how you execute your plan.
The true ROI of a strong compensation strategy includes higher retention, positive employee engagement, and greater productivity.
The right compensation tool will support those strategies and policies and help talent management leaders tap into, multiply, and measure that ROI.
Total compensation includes everything a company provides employees in exchange for work—direct compensation (i.e., merit and bonus pay, incentives, and stock grants), benefits, and company perks.
The way employees and organizations view total compensation and its significance differs.
Employees report benefits as the third-highest factor contributing to their job satisfaction and performance. Although held in such high regard, a meager 20% of employers say merit-based pay is effective at driving higher levels of individual performance.
The gap between these views has led to dramatic shifts in compensation strategies.
Compounded by transformations in job seeker and employee priorities, these trends have reinforced the need for a strong compensation strategy and streamlined solution.
Most enterprise organizations use one of three solutions to plan and track total compensation:
The features, functionalities, and benefits of these tools vary considerably. Interpreting these differences and prioritizing which elements impact your organization's success will help you select a solution.
Many companies rely on spreadsheet templates to manage their compensation process.
In 2017, the number of organizations that reported they use spreadsheets increased from 35% to 40%. While offering ample user manipulation, spreadsheets can put organizations at an increased risk for costly dangers like
Using spreadsheets as a compensation management tool likely won't scale as your business and employee size grows. And given that labor is a significant portion of operating costs across most industries, companies cannot afford to take unnecessary risks.
Compensation leaders must consider these risks when evaluating compensation management tools, as they can significantly undermine the implementation of their compensation strategy.
Hear what PeopleFluent's Tom Sykes and Ventana Research's Steve Goldberg have to say about the challenges of compensation management and predictions for 2019 in the excerpt below.
Webinar: Compensation 2019 and Beyond [beginning at 13:45]
While HCM solutions typically offer talent management modules—like a compensation module—they aren't the primary focus or revenue generator for HCM vendors. Because of this, these solutions are often lightweight, lacking the functionality required to handle the demands of enterprise compensation planning.
For instance, most HCM modules struggle to manage the complexities involved in incentive planning. Nor can they handle unique approval workflows for different compensation components (also known as alternate hierarchies).
For enterprise organizations, this means manual workarounds, which compromises efficiency, security, and the overall effectiveness of their compensation strategy.
Prior to the early 2000s, the trend in enterprise HR was to consolidate HR solutions with a single provider.
Today, that trend toward vendor consolidation is reversing.
Faced with changing market conditions, workforce expectations, and technology advances, enterprise organizations are realizing the benefits of a best-of-breed solution.
As a stand-alone solution, best-of-breed software like PeopleFluent Compensation enables organizations to tackle end-to-end compensation planning and execution by
Based on your research, your team's next step is to compare the pros and cons of each tool, aligning their strengths with your compensation strategy and processes, as well as your business objectives.
With these factors in mind, you can develop questions to guide your assessment.
Among these considerations, greater administrative efficiency, strategy alignment, and total ROI are the leading factors for many enterprise organizations.
Armed with that knowledge, what comes next?
Selecting the right tool for your organization is a complex process. To help simplify your analysis, the relative strengths and weaknesses of each of these common compensation solutions can be categorized as follows:
Your Guide to Comparing Compensation Management Tools
As organizations become more nimble and teams more collaborative, the functionalities and capabilities of an organization's compensation management solution will need to evolve at pace.
Armed with an understanding of what spreadsheets, HCM modules, and best-of-breed software can offer, HR leaders can weigh the benefits, risks, and overall costs of each tool and determine the best solution available.
The compensation solution you settle on should maximize your strategy, enabling your organization to attract, retain, and develop top talent.

We each have little moments in time; little things that may have seemed insignificant at the time but in reality – altered our lives completely. Or, they may have been more obvious events that were so drastic and dramatic, such as the attacks on 9/11, that we knew instantly our lives would never be the same. THIN THREADS: REAL STORIES OF LIFE CHANGING MOMENTS by Stacey Battat is a collection of short stories of life changing moments.
Here you will find more than 50 stories of life changing events and how they affected those involved. You will run an emotional gamut as some will make you laugh, some will bring back memories and others may cause you to water up. But all of these stories will show you that life is forever changing and marches on and it is up to us to adjust to it.
The cover of the book shows two trails in the forest; one appears well traveled, the other less so. That's really a good analogy of life changing moments. Often they are about the choices we make and which path we choose to follow. At other times, life seems pre-determined and there is no alternate path, we must simply forge ahead.
There is such a variety of stories here, there is surely something that will resonate well with every reader. This book is the first in a series of stories of life changing moments. It was a pleasure to read and I will definitely add some of the others in this series to my reading list.

The growth lever that is marketing and creativity.
Andrew Baxter has been successfully leading major professional services firms for well over a decade. This included time as the CEO at Ogilvy which saw the agency create iconic campaigns such as AAMI's "Rhonda and Ketut" and Coca-Cola's "Share a Coke". He is a sought-after speaker on Marketing and Communications, and in 2017 was awarded the Australian Marketing Institute's Sir Charles McGrath Award for his significant contribution to the field of Marketing.
This, along with 30 plus years' experience as a non-Executive Director, has proven Andrew to be a strong strategic thinker who drives growth in his own and his clients' businesses. He's a respected leader of teams, and a trusted advisor to Boards, CEO's, CMO's and CIO's.
Current Work
Media: Andrew has been the marketing columnist for The Australian for six years, and in 2016 he was one of LinkedIn's Top 40 Australian influencers and recognised by Campaign magazine as one of the Top 5 Agency Leaders in Australia & NZ.
Consultancy: Andrew has been appointed as the Senior Advisor to KPMG's entrepreneurial Customer, Brand and Marketing Advisory business, as well as a Senior Advisor to Australia's largest Private Equity fund, BGH Capital.
Board Appointments: Andrew holds Non-Executive Director roles at Australian Pork, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and within Indigenous Business Australia. He is also Chair of not-for-profits the Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation, and Deakin Business School.
Education: Andrew is an Adjunct Professor of Marketing at the University of Sydney. He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and a Fellow of the Australian Marketing Institute, and holds a Bachelor of Business in Marketing from Monash University.
Previous experience
Andrew has worked with the executive teams of many of Australia's largest companies and brands, across a multitude of industries including retail, packaged goods, sports and entertainment, automotive, banking and finance, gaming, tourism and travel, fast food, oil and mining, fashion, health, education and government. He has been particularly sought for his experience in branding, marketing and digital transformation, communications, data, IPO's, China cross-border, and customer experience.
Andrew was the CEO behind a plethora of highly successful marketing campaigns. His time leading Ogilvy saw the agency create highly successful campaigns for Coca-Cola and AAMI as well as the marketing strategy and campaigns to re-launch the Bank of Melbourne and promote the MYER IPO. More recently, as CEO of Publicis, the agency led the strategy behind Sanofi's cross-border business into China, as well as global campaigns for Tiger Beer that saw it become the fastest growing brand in Heineken's portfolio.
Talking Points
Ideation, innovation and creativity, all closely intertwined, all highly subjective, and all without a guarantee of success. Yet close to 80 per cent of senior business leaders rank innovation as among the top three priorities at their company. So how do marketers maximise their efforts around ideation, innovation and creativity? By getting the most diverse minds they can around the table providing unique perspectives, creating new ideas and building on the thoughts of others. With his wealth of marketing knowledge Andrew shares his insights on innovation and what marketers can gain from diversifying their teams.
Diversity - The Key to Great Ideation and Creativity
Diversity - The Key to Great Ideation and Creativity
Creativity is an art. And art evokes emotion, good and bad. The good is uplifting, positive and powerful. The bad makes you turn away. The great marketers have always known how to use creativity as an art for good. But it's a subjective area that's not well understood by many senior leaders, who seek more science and more certainty. Yet every day, those same senior leaders, as consumers, react emotionally to the creativity they see. Creative work, as a means of marketing, persuades them to buy one product or service over another. And that's because 95% of purchasing decisions are made not rationally, but from our unconscious minds and our intuition.
The Power of Advertising
The Power of Advertising
In this presentation, Andrew takes you behind the scenes of two famous campaigns, AAMI's "Rhonda & Ketut" and Coca-Cola's "Share a Coke", to show what makes a good campaign work, and explain why over 70 per cent of famous ads like these are effective in driving topline sales.
12 Marketing Matters that Matter
12 Marketing Matters that Matter
Through his Board roles, his successful tenures leading both Ogilvy and Publicis, and now as the Senior Advisor at KPMG, Andrew meets with over 50 CEO's and 100 CMO's each year, giving him a unique perspective on the marketing matters that matter. There are twelve marketing and communications topics that Andrew is being regularly asked about in 2018. Some are new, but some are marketing fundamentals that are in danger of being forgotten or ignored. Essential and engaging this keynote explores the fundamentals of marketing and gives meaningful advice on how to tackle today's marketing challenges.
Brand Reputation
Brand Reputation
Without the customer there is no business so when a customer goes looking for a brand, they go to the one that they can trust. It's Brand Reputation which is the driving force of customer choice. There is a finite amount of bad experiences that a customer can have before they take their business elsewhere and a finite amount until company gets left by the wayside. The modern company needs to build rapport and trust in order to survive and thrive. Having been instrumental in some of the most successful marketing schemes in recent memory, Andrew knows what it takes too build this reputation and his advice on brand reputation and what it means to truly put the customer first are invaluable.
There has been a sliding-door moment in the past decade, as brands have wanted to become more like people, and people have wanted to become more like brands. While companies have thrived by taking on the values and traits we admire in people, people have likewise gained success by understanding classic brand theory. From Jamie Oliver and Kevin Rudd to Qantas and Australia Post, this keynote examines the four key pillars that make a brand successful and what people and brands can learn from each other.
Why Brands Want to be Like People and People Want to be Like Brands
Why Brands Want to be Like People and People Want to be Like Brands
Every single time a customer comes into contact with your brand it is an opportunity to either win them over or to lose them. In today's digitally charged marketing world, the new term is Customer Experience, or CX. Companies have spent millions designing the ideal customer experience online, but there's a focus being lost in this new digital push, interactions that are human to human. More and more, businesses are not serving their customers directly, at a detriment to their own success.
Customer Service - When Did it Become Ok to Not Focus on Your Customer?
Customer Service - When Did it Become Ok to Not Focus on Your Customer?
Drawing upon his years of marketing experience, Andrew points out the problems with the digital customer service and explores what it means to provide an effective and personable customer experience.

FLYNN, Patrick 1820-1912
Posted By: Tammy (email)
Date: 4/3/2017 at 08:42:13
Death of Patrick Flynn
Patrick Flynn died at his home in this city Saturday afternoon, Oct. 5, at 3:30, at the advanced age of 92 years lacking ten days. Mr. Flynn had been feeble for a number of years, but on the Monday before his death was taken with broncho-asthma and pneumonia and was unable to combat the disease.
Patrick Flynn was born in Thurles, county of Tiperary, Ireland, on Oct. 15, 1820, and came to America in the fall of 1847, living at Buffalo and Albany, New York, for a time, when he went to Ohio. In May, 1853, he was married to Miss Mary Quinn, and to this union were born eight sons and one daughter, all of whom are living except the daughter, Mrs. Anna Flynn-Doorley, who died about seven years ago. The sons are T. D. of Sioux City; J. L. of Rothsay, Minn.; Richard, of New Hartford, Iowa; M. P., E. J., M. F., P. W. and J. E., all of Buffalo Center.
Mr. Flynn came to Iowa in 1857 settling first in Dubuque, and the following year went to Waterloo and engaged in railroad building as contractor, until 1863 when he took up farming which pursuit he followed until old age called a halt. In the spring of 1869 the deceased moved to Grundy county and rented a farm and the following year bought the place of 200 acres and continued to reside upon it till about five years ago, when he came to Buffalo Center and made his home with his sons. His wife preceded him to the great beyond having died in July, 1888.
The remains were taken to New Hartford, accompanied by the sons residing here and where they were met by the other sons. The funeral services were held at St. Mary's Catholic church, conducted by Rev. P. J. Hogan, a long time friend, and were largely attended by old neighbors and friends, and afterwards were laid to rest by the side of his wife in the church cemetery adjoining the old farm which for so many years was his home. Six of the sons served as pall bearers and tenderly consigned the remains of a loving father to their final resting place.--Buffalo Center Tribune.

I am the Light. You are the Light. Everything there is is made of Light. What is this Light? From my experience of being in my Light Body and functioning as such, I have discovered that I am made from what is known as the Primordial Light. The Primordial Light is the most basic of Light energy that always was, is and will be. It contains awareness, infinite intelligence, Love, creativity and consciousness. This is what humans and everything else is made of. What is the point of telling you this?
The importance and significance of this is that since the Primordial Light is what we, as humans and everything else is made of, we also contain awareness, infinite intelligence, Love, creativity and consciousness. This Primordial Light is what we are functioning right now as the aspects listed above, so that means you, as a human, are functioning as those aspects right now and you can communicate with those aspects in everything. If you can communicate with yourself, your body and the body of everything in Creation, you can use Creation to either your benefit or to your detriment. Yes, you, human being, have the power to use nature to your benefit or detriment. You are not living in a chaotic, uncontrollable world. This existence, this world is at your beck and call.
You just don't believe you have this power and that you are the Primordial Light because you have been brainwashed to believe you are nothing by religion and society that wants total control over you. You, human being, are not dirty, nothing, born in original sin. It's a lie. You are born from Primordial Light and you have the power of this Light. I say again, YOU HAVE THE POWER OF THIS PRIMORDIAL LIGHT!!!
Go and activate this Primordial Light that you are within yourself now and the world will be at your beck and call. I know this from experience. I do this now. My Primordial Light is on. Yours can be too.

Half fetus, half child

Half-fetus, half-child
Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director
In one of his few remarks during the two hours of arguments in the
Supreme Court today about partial-birth abortion, Justice Scalia responded
to Justice Stevens' assertion that we should say "fetus" rather than
child.. Justice Scalia said, "half-fetus, half-child."
The point was clear. This is not simply about abortion. This is a
hijacking of the delivery process for the purpose of killing the child. This
is infanticide. I don't know why Justice Scalia was otherwise so quiet,
and Justice Alito completely silent during the arguments, but I know
one reason I would be. The barbarity of partial-birth abortion is so
self-evidently wrong that it is beyond dispute, beyond discussion, that it
should not be legal in our country - or anywhere else, for that matter.
Silence in this matter speaks volumes.
In the course of the two hours of oral arguments, the Court considered
three key reasons why abortion advocates want the Court to strike down
the Federal ban on partial-birth abortion: a) the ban lacks a health
exception; b) the ban is too broad, that is, by its wording it actually
bans most if not all second and third trimester D&E (dismemberment)
abortions rather than just partial-birth abortion, and c) the ban is vague,
and because the language is not clear and specific enough, doctors
won't know if it really applies to them.
Having listened carefully to the oral arguments and having read all the
briefs, I don't think the abortion advocates made their case, and I
don't think a majority of the Justices think they did either.
One of the most important admissions made in the arguments by the
pro-abortion side was that we really have no measurements about what kind of
a health need is met by partial-birth abortion. Their key argument,
after all, is that the procedure must be allowed for the sake of women's
health. They admitted that the Court could ban this procedure if its
health advantages were minimal rather than significant, yet they could not
establish, by statistical measurement, the assertion that the health
advantages of partial-birth abortion are significant.
In regard to safety, one of the key questions from Chief Justice
Roberts was that if, as the abortionists claim, partial-birth abortion is
safer because it requires fewer insertions of instruments into the woman's
body, why would it not then also follow that the safest method is live
birth altogether, with the killing of the child outside the womb? The
pro-abortion side did not have an answer to that specific question,
which proves the point that Congress and the Bush Administration make,
namely, that this procedure must be banned so that society has a clear
barrier against infanticide.
Isn't it just amazing that in our highest court in this great nation,
this debate occurred today about the legality of "dismemberment" and
"pulling the arms and legs off" a child. In the end, it's not a matter of
which version of killing should be used. It's a matter of stopping the
killing altogether.
Please pray for the repose of her soul.

If I were looking for evidence that SOMETHING will befall this country soon, this would be plenty -- a reminder that we are committing worse barbarities every day than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
How many acts of sodomy, blasphemy, baby killing, injustice, as well as hundreds and thousands of other sins -- are committed every day?
All the while, the number of reverent Masses, which incline Our Lord to mercy, are decreasing every day.

Please pray for Bishop Richard Williamson, a noble prelate and hand-picked successor of Archbishop Lefebvre whose Catholic wisdom and zeal for the truth have inspired many Traditional Catholics.
On October 23, 2012, the good Bishop was cast out of the SSPX, where he had labored tirelessly for 36 years.
His continued membership in the neo-SSPX would have made a premature union with Rome more difficult.
He is committed to defending Catholic Tradition in all its purity in the SSPX Resistance, as the
true successor
of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, continuing the fight the SSPX once fought.

The sex-crazed Pope
Pope John XII (c.930-964) became pope in 955 through the help of his father, Alberic II of Spoleto. At a very young age, John XII was not exactly up to par with his holy job. His worldly desires got the better of him.

From Chester, PA to Newark, DE, to the world, SAP — an acronym for Sound of A Pioneer — invites listeners back to lyricism.
If previously unaware, his music is rooted in Philadelphia, PA, where he produced for underground artists such as Joey Jihad, NH, Reed Dollaz, and even a young Meek Mill. That was just the beginning. As far as producing, you can now find the artist, born Johnathan King, on a range of hits from artists like: Game, Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, Freddie Gibbs, Tyga, Mac Miller, ScHoolboy Q, Kendrick Lamar, and a, now, more established Meek Mill — to name a few. While slowly but surely elevating his status in music, SAP's on his sophomore mixtape. It's titled, The Invite.
We caught up with SAP and asked him a variety of questions as both a producer and lyricist. Each answer is inspiring, and his lyrical influences are truly apparent when it comes to his witty wordplay. Check it out.
Influences. Who are (some of) your influences as far as production?
Man, it changes, it varies from legends to new guys you know what I'm sayin'? Like, you got, of course, Timbaland; my favorite, Pharrell, I love Danjahands, and Just Blaze. Everybody that's great.
What about as a lyricist? Who's your inspiration in that aspect?
Kanye's my favorite rapper. Definitely um – just people that really were just making jams man, like people – of course I like Jay Z. People like Kanye, people who have fun with their lyrics and just make jams– like Redman and Method Man.
Explain your grind. Where did it originate as far as beats and then also as a lyricist?
It's random – as far as writing raps for my beats because making beats is actually the thing that's really rolling for me right now. I'll make a bunch of beats, come across some that I'll just play around with. But then it'll be some beats where I'm really like "yo, this beat is for me." I usually don't keep my best beats, I use the ones that just fit me best.
So according to your bio on the web, your first big beat placement was Meek Mill's "In My Bag." What's the story behind having an artist like Meek use one of your beats early on?
Joey Jihad was the first guy that really gave me my real start. He was like the first rapper that actually had fans – like thousands of fans – on my beats. I produced on his mixtape when I was a junior in high school. I did like five beats on that joint. One in particular was "Boss Man"
– Ha! I remember "Boss Man." That's not too long after Meek and Joey were going at each other on tapes.
That's why that record was so big, people remember they were beefing and then they got in the studio together and made the song. But, I remember Meek just hit me up one day on Myspace. He was like "yo, I need some beats." He sent me his number and I hit him with a few joints – maybe like four beats. Out of those four he chose two and "In My Bag" was one an "I'm Not a Rapper" was the other. Then after that, that was it for me, man. It was like everybody around here kind of knew what was going on. That was one of those situations where – no matter how big anything gets, I'm always going to appreciate that moment. That started everything. It's unreal – I was in high school when I did that record.
Now, what about the grind as a lyricist?
I think anybody in the music, whether you're a manager, or anything, you try to write at least one rap. So, I just used to play around with it and I ended up finding my lane. As my beats got out there, I just started playing around with it, recording little verses here and there. A good friend of mine, his name is Shizz Nitty, he was like, "Yo, keep going at that, man. You got something." So, over the past few years, I've probably been rapping seriously for about 2-3 years. It's been progressing naturally. I'll go into the studio and just write to different beats. It's really a learning experience, I'm nowhere near the steps I'm at in the production game. I'm still learning as far as lyrics go.
That's amazing because I hear the foundation, the influences that you mentioned earlier and it shines. Nowadays, you have a lot of people trying too hard.
Yeah, definitely. That's what I'm saying; my rap (style) is simple. I might hit people with a few different things. Like, I might do wordplay with certain stuff, but by I'm not trying to be Eminem… It can be super simple but also super clever.
Like Kanye's "Mayonnaise colored Benz, I push Miracle Whips."
Exactly. Simple lyrics, but the line was so creative.
What's your relationship with Cool & Dre, and how did that come about?
A homie of mine, DJ Young Legend – from Philly, reached out to me like "Yo, I know a few people. Do you mind if I send them some of your videos?" He had YouTube videos of me making beats. He sent the videos to Cool & Dre and then the next thing you know I heard back from him a few days later. He was like "Yo, I think Cool & Dre want to sign you, like mess with you." Days go by, and after a night of grinding, I woke up to a ton of missed calls from Legend. So I called him back and he called Cool on three-way. He was like "Yo man, me and Dre just did this deal with Cash Money and we're doing our own production team. We need a squad to help out with the production. We want you to get down with the team. So I flew out to Miami and we made a production deal happen and it's been history ever since. They taught me so much, man. They're my big bros. I definitely couldn't thank them enough for that. The got me my first real commercial single, Game's Celebration. After that I got on Tyga's album and things started rolling.
So, is there anyone that you'd like to collaborate with?
My dream is to get that respect in the music business and as an artist and be like Pharrell and make a project I really want to make. Like, how he did "Frontin'" with Hov. Whether it's Raphael Saadiq on the hook of something, Redman and Method Man on something and have the record switch up with a hidden track with the whole State Property on it, but I just plan to work with everybody that I really like, who I was influenced by.
