Scrap sanctions targets and keep the bottom rung
There are a lot of things in the Scottish Labour manifesto which Calton does not agree with, however, scrapping benefit sanctions targets is one policy he can wholeheartedly support. It is totally iniquitous to set sanctions targets for job centre staff when they are supposed to be helping folk into work. It is a system open to abuse and is one of the reasons for the rise in foodbanks we have seen recently. There is nothing wrong with sanctions for those who are claiming jobseekers allowance while having no intention of looking for work. Such people are actually a tiny minority. What is wrong is sanctioning people who genuinely want to find work for things like not turning up to the job centre because they were at a job interview! The success or otherwise of job centres should not be measured by the number of sanctions they dish out but by the number of people they help back into work, and by "work" Calton means a proper job with a decent number of hours and job security, not a zero hours contract. Job centres also need to end the practice of pushing the unemployed into self-employment when they don't actually have a viable business plan which will earn them a sufficient income. Starting your own business is not an easy route out of unemployment, as many failed entrepreneurs can testify. It is not for the faint-hearted and what bothers Calton about all the calls for a higher minimum wage from Labour and other parties is that, if implemented, it could well either discourage employers from taking on more staff or put them out of business altogether. We need to be making it easier for businesses to employ people, not harder because, at the end of the day, if we knock out the bottom rung of the employment ladder (ie minimum wage jobs), we will consign ever more people to endless unemployment and that is not a good thing for any of us.

Stephen Gray premiered his "Flying Boy" experiment in London during 1730. This image—a plate from a German-language text—depicts how an 8-year-old boy was suspended across a swing supported by silk ropes. With a negative electrical charge applied to his face and hands, the child was able to "magically" attract lightweight objects such as gold leaf and feathers. At the time, no one understood why this phenomenon could occur. Image online, courtesy Interactive Architecture.
Putting together a demonstration, to display the phenomenon of moving electricity, Stephen Gray fashioned a swing supported by silk ropes. He would employ the swing in a kind of "magic show."
Using a young boy, lying horizontally across the swing, Gray had the child charge his hands with static electricity. The boy then placed his static-electrically charged hands over pieces of gold leaf and feathers. As if by magic, the young demonstrator attracted the gold leaf and feathers to his hands.
It was another amazing experiment which fascinated observers. Gray had discovered important concepts about electricity:
This was a crucial distinction. Insulators keep electricity from leaking, an important fact even in today's world.
Gray's work led to other questions.
In the town of Leiden (Leyden), The Netherlands—sometime between 1745-1746—a Professor named Pieter van Musschenbroek invented a way to test those (and other) questions.

An old joke says:
Heaven is where the cooks are French, the police are British, the mechanics are German, the lovers are Italian and everything is organized by the Swiss.
Hell is where the cooks are British, the police are German, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and everything is organized by the Italians.
(And, by the way, do you know what they say about Czechs? Nothing. Because nobody outside Central Europe actually knows who Czechs are.)
Let's break such national stereotypes and prejudices! And let's do it in a funny, entertaining and interactive way in a friendly atmosphere with your new mates from all over the world!
Every Wednesday evening you'll have an opportunity to get to know new countries with their cultures, the habits of their lovely people, perhaps their food or beverages. Besides all, you'll have a unique chance to prove that your country is the best and that it's worth visiting (or moving to)!
The way you choose to present your country is totally up to you. The point is to show the others where you come from and make them feel like they're a part of the presented country. Please make sure your presentation won't have more than 20 minutes, we are here not for geography studies.
Why would you like to do that?
• Firstly, we are sure that you would like to amaze your friends with an interesting trivia that they can't google or find in books.
• Secondly, we know that you are eager to get to know how they dine or dress up or party on other continents.
Having these in mind, we can guarantee you 90 minutes of fun, laughter and interesting stuff.
And the best thing – to motivate you to really pull this off, we prepared a prize for the group with the best country presentation! The best group will get a 50l of BEER (for a quality beer pong game or just host the others on another "friendly evening").
We start with the presentation of the Czech Republic in September. And in the following week, the first countries will present.
You will be reminded several times, but please, countries supposed to present on this day, make sure that you're ready.
Take your ESNcard with you (to not to pay an entrance fee) and bring some friends (even without the ESNcard they can participate in country presentations, just for a small entrance fee of 20 CZK).
In order to get refunded for the shopping after your Country Presentation, come to our office with the receipt (no later than 2 weeks after your presentation) or contact our treasurer at firstname.lastname@example.com and make an appointment.

Before I came home, I emailed a friend to say I was coming into town and ask if she was busy this past weekend. She emailed back to say, "Yes, I am busy, and now you're busy too." She took me to a couple of really cool events, one of which I plan to write about more. At both events, there were plenty of people I didn't know, and she was very gracious about introducing me to her friends and colleagues, but she kept saying, "This is my friend Holly, from Pennsylvania." And I would have to say, "No, I'm not FROM Pennsylvania; I just live there right now. I'm FROM Arizona--Thatcher, Arizona, to be exact."
I realize this isn't a big deal to everyone, but it's a big deal to me. In a way that is deeply important, I really truly am FROM and OF the Southwest. I was born in Arizona and raised Mormon at a time when Mormonism was still in many regards a regional religion, and my sense of self is thoroughly tied up with a sense of place, as well as a sense of community and spirituality that derives quite specifically and literally from the place I was taught to call both "zion" and "home." It MATTERED that I was not only born in Arizona, but born in Arizona because my ancestors walked the distance from Illinois to Utah, then headed south for various reasons. Frankly, it matters to me still.
So to introduce me to people by saying that I'm FROM some place without no real mountains to speak of and a great lake and lots of rivers instead of pervasive and profound aridity is akin to introducing me as "Heidi" or "Heather," both of which I get called from time to time: even though you can see how people make that mistake, it's just not right, and it's annoying to have to correct someone on this.
And then there was what happened when I asked other people where they were from.
I realize I'm being proprietary and finicky, but really, is it so hard to understand what it means to say you are FROM somewhere? I asked one woman, "So, where are you from?" and she answered, "Here."
"Cool," I said. "What part of the valley did you grow up in?"
"Oh, I grew up in Chicago," she said. "But I've lived here for twelve years, and that qualifies me as a native."
"Actually, no, it doesn't," I said. "Three of my four grandparents were born in Arizona before it became a state, and they lived here their whole lives. Spending twelve years here doesn't make you a native when there are people who are born here and die here 80 years later."
She was miffed by my response, and while I can see why, I also think I'm right. And I don't see what's so hard about saying, "I grew up in Chicago, but I've been here for 12 years and I really love it--it felt like home as soon as I got here." OK, it involves more words than just answering "here" when someone asks where you're from, but it's A) more accurate and B) more informative.
My brother-in-law was born and raised in Gilbert, which when he lived there was a farming town but is now on of the fastest growing areas of the valley. He has a job that involves meeting a lot of people, most of whom are shocked to realize that someone in his late 30s could actually have grown up in the Valley of the Sun. It's true that natives of a certain age and generation are relatively rare, which is one more reason we prize our status and grow resentful when others usurp it.
And I also realize that although *I* might be a native, my race is not, and that white western culture has imposed a way of living on the southwest that isn't the least bit sustainable or wise. One reason I have always preferred to Tucson to Phoenix is that Tucson has always had less water to irrigate with, so it's more deserty--people in Tucson just couldn't manage the lawns people in Phoenix could, so Phoenix has always felt to me even more artificial and fated to die a miserable death than Tucson does.
I wish people wouldn't move here if they aren't really willing to deal with what living in the desert involves. Living here doesn't just mean that you don't have to own a coat; it means you can't use a lot of water. But swimming pools and golf courses abound, and increase.
I hope someday to move back here, and I hope that when I do, it still feels like home.

Fishing opportunities for 2017 – Policy statement
Ministers will hold an exchange of views on the Commission's communication on EU fisheries tabled earlier this month in view of the end-of-year decision on fishing opportunities for 2017.
Many EU sea basins are showing encouraging signs. In the last decade the EU has been reducing fishing pressure and stocks are generally in better shape now than they were ten years ago. The Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic Sea are progressing well in the direction of Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) – meaning that fish stocks are fished at an optimal level allowing them to regenerate, and the multiannual plans and the landing obligation are now going to help this process even further. All the more reason to set fishing limits for 2017 with a view to achieving MSY already in the same year. For stocks where there is no MSY indicator, the limits proposed will be in line with the scientific advice provided by ICES. For data-poor stocks without quantitative advice, the precautionary approach will be applied.
External fishing fleets – Proposal for a new Regulation
The Council will be seeking a general approach on the Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament on the sustainable management of external fishing fleets, (repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1006/2008). This proposal by the Commission aims at setting new governance standards in the management and control of external fleets.
Mediterranean fisheries and 2016 GFCM Annual Session
Commissioner Vella will report to ministers on the outcome of the 40th annual session of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, and on his initiative on sustainable Mediterranean fisheries. This year's GFCM meeting adopted a number of ambitious measures to support the recovery of fish stocks and the protection of vulnerable habitats in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The Commissioner will also recall his initiative to bring the Mediterranean onto a path of sustainability by creating a new political momentum and engaging with key stakeholders around the Mediterranean. He will engage with ministers to keep up the pace, as the priority now is to take concrete action so that this sea basin can continue to ensure the livelihood and prosperity of its coastal communities.

Every moment of our lives is an iceberg. The moment we call "now" is just the tip of things, the short sliver visible of all those other moments that have led to it. The rest lay drowned in the past, out of sight, out of mind. Only upon close inspection does the magnitude of "now" really slam into us.
My "Titanic moment" was my sixteenth birthday, February 12, 1987. It had been a good day, I suppose. It was a weekday, so I spent it in school. Afterward, it was dinner at my favorite restaurant with my family: Mom, Dad, and my brother, Dana.
Dana was in grad school on the other side of the state, in Philadelphia. I practically idolized him. He was smart, funny, and always treated me like his equal, despite me being seven years younger. And he'd do anything for me, including ditching two important days of classes.
After dinner, it was cake and ice cream back at home. And presents. Mom, as usual, had gotten me a new dress and shoes. Dad bought me a new stereo, complete with one of them newfangled compact disc players. And, of course, Dana got me some CDs.
Dana helped me set up the stereo in my room, and we sat there on my bed, listening to Duran Duran. And even though it was more than two decades ago, I remember our conversation like it happened yesterday.
"Sweet Sixteen," he said in that teasing, older brother kind of way. I rolled my eyes and told him to shut up. "And no girlfriend to share it with?" That's how close we were. He knew of my attraction to girls. He'd never judged me, and was totally accepting of it. Of me.
I just shook my head and said, "I wish."
Our hometown was small. The population was of European descent and not much else. Two thousand people, the vast majority of which were conservative. Not the freaky, wingnut, gun-fetish variety, but the old-fashioned, family-centric, God-fearing variety. Still, despite the outward friendliness, it was clear that certain people weren't treated with the same amount of Christian love. Anyone of non-hetero inclination was deep in the closet. No one I knew of was "out." AIDS was still "the homosexual disease," and "gay" and "lesbian" were insults, not attributes. Non-heterosexuality was regarded as just as much of a mutation as those other, more flamboyant, examples on the nightly news.
Dana gave me a reassuring hug. "Someday," he said. He was always telling me how much more open-minded the college environment was, and I was so looking forward to actual communities made up of those who wouldn't condemn me.
Then Dana stopped smiling and said, "Dinah… there's something I need to tell you. But you have to promise not to let Mom and Dad find out I told you."
"Okay," I said, frowning. I was used to this weird family trait. Any non-vital news that might upset someone was glossed over or kept quiet altogether. Our last surviving grandparent died when I was in third grade. But I didn't find out his death was a suicide until I was thirteen, and that was by overhearing a conversation not meant for my ears. I found it insulting that our parents often thought I shouldn't know something or other, but history had taught me to be more concerned than angry.
Dana got all serious and stood up from my bed and paced. I didn't think people actually did that, except in movies. But there he was. Pacing. I would have laughed, had it not been for the look on his face.
Finally, he stopped and leaned against my dresser, not looking at me. His voice was barely audible. "You're not the only one in the family who has a secret."
I was stunned. What secret could he have that Mom and Dad wouldn't want me to know about? My mind raced, trying to figure it out before he told me. I knew he wasn't gay. He'd had a girlfriend up until about six months before, when she tore his heart out. And I knew of one other girl he'd "gone all the way" with. Bisexual, maybe? I offered this as my guess.
"Bigger," he said softly.
"Bigger" meant "worse." And there were only two things worse than being gay, as far as our folks were concerned. One of these things, Dana had already owned up to, years before.
I'm eight years old. I'm supposed to be playing in my room before going to bed, but I'm crouching at the top of the stairs, eavesdropping on the conversation below. It goes more or less like this:
Our father says, "Seems pretty odd that you only get sick on Sunday mornings, but feel better once the rest of us return from church."
There's only silence in response. I can picture Dana shrugging his shoulders.
Our mother says, "Don't you like going to church anymore?"
"I've never liked going to church," my brother says in the semi-whine that all teenagers seem to share.
"Son," Dad says, "you'll find there are lots of things in life that we need to do, even though we don't like to."
"I know… but going to church isn't one of them."
"Bite your tongue!" our mother hisses.
"But I don't believe that stuff!"
There's another silence, during which I imagine my parents are staring at Dana in shock. I know I'm stunned by his words.
Mother breaks the silence. "What do you mean?"
"I mean I don't believe in God. God's every bit as imaginary as Santa Claus!"
Now I'm aghast. I wait for Mom or Dad to refute him, to confirm that God and Santa are just as real as anyone.
"Richard, our son's going to hell."
"Now, Margaret…"
"Like you didn't already think I was going there, anyway," Dana sneers. I have no idea what he means, but don't have time to think about it before Dad speaks again.
"Son, I know you think you know better than everyone else. But that sort of arrogance will cause you nothing but trouble. Now, we'll hear no more of this talk."
"Especially around your sister!" Mom says. "She believes every word you say, so don't you let her hear that you've forsaken the Lord! And she still believes in Santa Claus, so keep your nasty mouth shut about that, too."
And there it is, from my mother's own lips: confirmation that Santa is just a figment of someone's imagination. The rest of the conversation is lost to me, as I shuffle back to my room. But resuming my pretend life with Barbie and the Rockers has no appeal for me. I look down at my dolls, in the little wooden house Santa had…
Santa hadn't brought me this dollhouse. Santa wasn't real. My dad, though, was quite real. And I'd seen him make things with his tools in the garage. He'd made Mom those pretty planter boxes for outside her windows. He'd made the bookshelves in Dana's room. I look at the wooden house again with fresh eyes.
So if Santa wasn't real… then neither was the Easter Bunny. Or the Tooth Fairy. So what about God? Was Dana right about that? I shake my head. I'd pretty much always equated Santa Claus and God. If Santa wasn't all-knowing, I couldn't figure out how else he could have the naughty or nice list. But only God knew everything, I was told in Sunday School.
By the time Mom comes to tuck me into bed, I, too, am an atheist.
Eight years later, on that very same bed, I stared at my brother, finally seeing the rest of the iceberg. I know now what Dana had meant, all those years ago, by the going to hell comment. It's the other thing "bigger" than being gay.
My heart almost burst as I blurted it out. "You're a mutant?"
He winced at the word. "Meta. I'm a meta."
I was glad I was sitting down, or I might have fallen to the floor. I couldn't believe it. I didn't believe it. "Show me!" I pleaded.
"Not so loud!" he said, and then I remembered the promise he'd asked of me. Our parents never had anything nice to say about metahumans. Not even the ones who clearly deserved to have nice things said about them.
Dana glanced at my dresser. Then, right before my eyes, my lip balm tube floated up into the air and over to me. When it dropped into my hand, I about peed myself. It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. There was, despite Dana's concerns, a hint of pride on his face. Pretty cool, huh?
Without thinking, I said, "Yeah!"
It was only after I'd replied that I realized his lips hadn't moved. I'd heard his voice inside my head. And I boggled again. Telekinesis and telepathy! Dana had struck the mutant gene jackpot, as far as I was concerned.
Lucky bastard.

There is much disagreement about when super-powered metahumans began to appear. Most scientists believe the first births were in the '40s, perhaps the '30s, although there is a small (but vocal) minority claiming they have always been among us. Certainly, by the time I entered the world in 1971, metahumans were firmly in the public eye.
And they weren't just in the press, but in popular culture. Comic books had long detailed the exploits of super-powered, costumed folk doing heroic or nefarious deeds, dressed in bright costumes and sporting outlandish names. They were entertaining, I suppose, despite the silly and unrealistic dialogue. But when you could see the real thing on television, why would you buy hand-drawn fiction? Regardless, in a case of life imitating art, the media began attaching colorful names to different metahumans. And eventually, the government got involved, as it always does.
Whatever the timeline, the conservative estimate is that one out of every hundred thousand births will be a metahuman.
Now, mutations happen all the time, the vast majority of which are utterly benign. In many cases, without examining one's DNA, it would be impossible to tell there was even a mutation there. Other mutations are simply what we call "birth defects" or "congenital abnormalities." And many of these are innocuous. A common one is crooked pinky fingers, where the tips angle toward the ring fingers, after the outermost knuckle. Clinodactyly, it's called. About ten percent of the population has this, to one degree or another.
Other mutations are far more severe. Muscular dystrophy, for example, is the result of a mutation. And of course, some mutations are fatal, either before birth or at an early age.
But a small percentage of mutations are helpful. That's what drives evolution: mutations that allow us to adapt to our environment, giving us a better chance at survival. One example is a community of people in Italy who are seemingly immune to atherosclerosis, amazingly enough. This has been traced to a genetic mutation of a particular ancestor, who was even identified. Another example is that some people have a genetic mutation that makes them highly resistant to contracting HIV.
As beneficial as both of these mutations are, they're subtle and passive. But there are other mutations whose benefits are more blatant. There are instances of individuals who are unable to feel pain or are seemingly immune to extremes of hot or cold or even electric shock. Conversely, there are some who can generate heat, or manipulate magnetic fields. There are some blind persons who can use echolocation to "see." There are some whose "super" brains are capable of accessing much more information than the average person's, including some with "perfect" visual memory. There are those whose reflexes are abnormally fast and accurate and others whose muscles seem to remain undamaged from normal usage, enabling them to continue working or running essentially until they pass out from lack of sleep. Then again, there are those who don't seem to need sleep.
The average human would regard these as superhuman abilities, but the mutations themselves are still what we consider normal. Rare, of course, and undeniably interesting. But still "normal."
However, "meta mutations," as they've come to be called, make these remarkable abilities look positively mundane, and have thrown long-held scientific beliefs into chaos.
And as happens whenever such disruption to what is "known" occurs, research exploded in many scientific fields. When a human being can do things that should be utterly impossible, we have no choice but to either prove it's done with smoke and mirrors, or consider that maybe the laws of physics have more loopholes than we thought.
Oddly enough, despite all we've learned, all we can actually demonstrate, there are plenty of people in the world who still insist that it's all fake. I assume these are the same people who deny that we've set foot on the moon or claim the Holocaust never happened. To these people, the scientists who've made the breakthroughs in the past decade or so in discovering how metahuman abilities work are all conspirators, fleecing the public for reasons I can't even begin to imagine. I'm just not that paranoid.
But then, I suppose it's fair to say I'm biased.
* * *
Most kids develop a fixation with something by the age of ten. For my brother, it had been dinosaurs. I'm told that, at ten, he could recite a ridiculous number of facts about countless Cretaceous creatures, in much the same way that our father could rattle off endless sports statistics or our mother could quote lengthy passages of scripture, verbatim.
And me? By the time I was eleven, I could name probably a hundred of the known metas in America and list their metahuman abilities. I could tell you which metas composed any given team. Metas ranked right up there with movie stars and musicians, in the eyes of the public.
Well, most of the public, anyway. There were always people who didn't think too highly of musicians or movie stars and for those folks, metas were maybe the lowest of the low. Among those with this attitude was our mother.
Father's attitude was that they were all attention-seeking grandstanders, not deserving of respect, let alone adulation. Mother, on the other hand, regarded them as abominations. She ignored the idea that this was the next stage in human evolution because, religious fundamentalist that she is, she didn't accept the truth of evolution.
But at least they were realistic about our exposure to them. They recognized the fact that, if we weren't watching the metas on TV, we'd find out about them in other ways. Schools talked about them, after all. The whole field of biology was under the microscope, so to speak, and teachers lectured excitedly on the ideas behind human-to-metahuman evolution. By the last quarter of the twentieth century, it was flat-out impossible to ignore the metahuman contingent and its effect on society, though many wished otherwise.
The metas' effect on me was profound. I wanted more than anything to be one of them, much as kids a decade before might have dreamed of becoming astronauts. I dreamed about it while sleeping and fantasized about it during school. I tore off Barbie's clothes and painted a costume on her, hiding it again under her outfit. And of course, I put on a domino mask, tied a towel around my neck as a cape, and pinned a big letter "D" to my chest. I tried to put a matching cape on our dog, so he could be my sidekick, but he would have none of it. And always, I was imagining what abilities I might have, once puberty had its way with me. I guess you could say I was single-minded about the future. Or at least, my future.
The day I began my first period was a day of high excitement for me. After the initial panic, of course. No matter how much you prepare for it, you're never quite ready to see blood on your underpants for the first time.
For a month, I woke up eagerly, expecting to feel different, with whatever changes were happening inside me. I'd read the interviews with other metas. I knew that the changes took different forms and felt differently from one meta to another. I didn't know what to expect… just that something would be different.
Even though I didn't feel at all out of the norm, I tried to do things. I would concentrate until I gave myself a headache, trying to make my hands burst into flame, or to levitate off the ground. At least I had sense enough not to jump out of my second-story bedroom window, trying to fly.
But I finally had to admit, with the heaviest of hearts, that puberty had come and gone, and I was still just plain old Dinah Geof-Craigs, girl geek. More specifically, I was an aimless girl geek. So certain had I been that I'd develop superhuman abilities that I never gave a moment's thought to anything else I might want to do with my life. I was not only single-minded, but short-sighted.
As one might expect, my education wasn't of high importance to me. Oh, I got decent grades. But I wasn't the whiz kid Dana had been when he'd graced those halls of middle education, seven years earlier, and my teachers never failed to remind me of this little bit of trivia whenever I'd barely get a "B" on a quiz.
Despite this, I loved school. It was my social outlet. I relished the life of a teenage girl, even though I wasn't a member of the popular crowd. It didn't matter. Even unpopular girls could engage in the same mindless idiocy as the cool kids. We gossiped, shared makeup, traded clothing, and generally behaved like the superficial, material girls we were.
And that's how it was for me, up until Dana's confession. It seemed so wonderful at the time, that my awesome brother was even more awesome. But slowly, the wound his admission inflicted became more evident.
The iceberg tore a gaping hole in me. Only it wasn't cold seawater that came rushing in. It was something much more vile.
* * *
I wonder, sometimes, about the perceptiveness of parents. Teenagers, I think, typically assume their parents are clueless to the point of being socially embarrassing. I know I certainly held that opinion of mine, and they did little to prove me wrong. Mother's attitude toward anything outside the status quo bothered me immensely, as did my father's passivity. Even when he disagreed with her, he rarely spoke up.
I've never been able to understand how anyone could have a real understanding of the world, of people, and still hold closed-minded opinions toward those who, for example, didn't believe in God, who were attracted to the same gender, or had a genetic mutation that they certainly couldn't do anything about.
Yet, in retrospect, I wonder if my parents didn't know me better than I'd thought they did. Maybe their reasons for demanding that Dana not tell me about his mutation weren't just the same old reasons. Maybe it was because they knew how I'd really react.
Yes, at first, I was thrilled. I wanted to brag to all my friends about Dana's abilities. I didn't, of course. I knew what repercussions a public "outing" could have for him. But after a time, this filial pride was replaced by something I'd never felt before: sibling envy.
As much as I'd always loved and admired him, I'd never felt envy, because he always made me feel so good about myself. But our closeness was disrupted by the physical distance of him being away at college, which inevitably led to a growing emotional distance. As the years progressed, he came home on weekends less frequently, and even took summer classes some years.
I missed him. He'd always been my best friend, and now that I knew of his abilities, I wanted him around even more. I wanted to watch him float things around. Hell, I wanted him to float me around. I wanted him to read other peoples' minds and use his telepathic "inside voice" to tell me what they were thinking. Every time he "spoke" in my mind, I got a thrill. I figured if I couldn't be a meta, myself, I at least wanted to be one vicariously through him.
But he was two hundred miles away.
I'm sure this distance contributed to my feelings, but I'm not sure things would have been much different if he'd still lived at home. The truth is, I'd been so obsessed with metahumans, so convinced that I was going to be one, that it probably bordered on psychosis. When puberty came and went and I wasn't gifted with superhuman abilities, I was devastated. But I accepted it. What other choice did I have?
But there he was, with his abilities. Him. Not me.
But the worst part was that he didn't even seem happy to have his abilities. He just kept going to school, working toward his Ph.D. It was the height of insult, really. Given how rare meta-mutations are, we certainly had no reason to expect that our little town would produce one. And how ironic was it that the one who'd gained abilities was someone who didn't particularly care to have them?
And my envy grew to resentment.
I didn't understand. Didn't he want to be famous? Didn't he want to be on the cover of Supers magazine? Featured on Biography? Didn't he want to be a member of The Liberty League, or any of the other teams of metahumans? Didn't he want to be loved by the masses?
I couldn't imagine anyone would not want these things. Being famous was what I craved more than anything. And I began to view it as a cosmic injustice that he'd been graced with abilities that he didn't want and wouldn't use, while I was denied exactly the same thing, when it's what I most wanted in life.
Did I ever confront him about this? Sort of. Once. On one of his visits home, I casually mentioned my envy. His reaction? "It's not worth feeling envious, Dinah. Believe me… It's not all you think it is."
When I asked why he felt that way, he waved it off and wouldn't discuss it any further. I was hurt that he treated it – treated me – so dismissively. It was adding insult to injury, as the saying goes.
If I'd been a believer, I would have been supremely pissed at God. But I wasn't. So instead, I turned my resentment and anger to Dana. I was no longer bothered by the distance separating us. Not seeing him made it easier to maintain the negative feelings.
I suppose one good thing did come of this. I stopped being aimless. I knew what I was going to do with my life. I knew enough about biology to know that we had the ability to induce mutations. So it seemed only reasonable to believe that we could induce meta-mutations.
My goal in life now was to become a brilliant geneticist, to study human to metahuman evolution, and to find a way to induce meta-mutation. In myself.
My brother might not want the fame, the glory, the adoration… but I did.
And I was damn well going to have it.

Continuing our series of articles concerning proposed practices while working with the Java programming language, we are going to talk about String performance tuning. We will focus on how to handle String creation, String alteration and String matching operations efficiently.
Furthermore we will provide our own implementations of the most commonly used algorithms for Exact String Matching. Many of these algorithms can achieve far more superior performance compared to the naive approach for exact String matching available with the Java Development Kit.
This article concludes with a performance comparison between the aforementioned Exact String Matching algorithms.

GE Donates $1.1 Million to Sandy Relief Effort in Struggling Region
Thousands of volunteers have fanned out this weekend across towns and neighborhoods still reeling from damage caused by Hurricane Sandy. In Brooklyn's Red Hook, for example, New Yorkers and visitors hauled out debris from flooded basements and handed out blankets and warm clothes from church steps and garages. At shelters in Park Slope, locals were helping the ill and the elderly with basic human necessities such as using the bathroom and brushing the teeth. In Coney Island, teams of volunteers carried food and water to residents stranded in high rise buildings still without power. Sandy's victims need all the help they can get. According to the latest estimates, more than 1.3 million homes and business along the East Coast are still without electricity.
GE and its employees have been helping out, too. GE Foundation gave $1 million to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund and another $100,000 to the United Way of America for local community needs. The company will also match in full employee donations to the American Red Cross and other disaster relief organizations. GE volunteers have also reached out to local non-profits to help on the ground.
"While state and local governments as well as relief organization are still in the middle of determining the exact needs as a result of Hurricane Sandy, we have employees, customers and neighbors who have lost or damaged homes, or who are still living without power," said Bob Corcoran, vice president of GE Foundation. "Through our partner relief organizations, GE can help those in need in the aftermath and we will."
In addition to the Sandy relief donations, the GE Foundation supports disaster relief through a $1 million grant to the American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program. The money helps the Red Cross mount an immediate response to any disaster and help people who are affected by it. GE also helps local communities through more than $8 million in contributions to 500 United Way organizations throughout the United States and in other countries.
Friends in Need: Hundreds of volunteers traveled to Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood to help clearing out flooded basements and handing out water, food, and warm clothing.

Ashlin Schultz, a Hampton Girl Scout, has earned the Girl Scout Silver Award, the second highest honor and achievement a girl can earn in Girl Scouting. Ashlin is currently an eighth grader at the Spratley Gifted Center.
For her project, Ashlin worked with The Cat Corner, a nonprofit, no-kill shelter in Hampton. Ashlin refurbished the bench that sits on the porch of The Cat Corner by peeling off the old paint, filling in the cracks, sanding the wood, adding a coat of primer and adding a fresh coat of paint. Ashlin painted cats and the organization's name on the bench before securing it back in place at The Cat Corner. She also worked with a Girl Scout troop and taught the girls how to make cat toys, which they donated to The Cat Corner.
Ashlin also interviewed a volunteer at The Cat Corner and put together a video about what people should do if they encounter a stray cat, the importance of spaying and neutering cats and how people can adopt a cat from or volunteer with The Cat Corner. In order to share the information with a wide audience, Ashlin placed her video online for anyone to view.
The Girl Scout Silver Award is the top award that middle school age Girl Scouts can earn. To earn the award, girls have to identify a need in the community and carry out a Take Action project to address the matter through leadership work.

Test Cricket: Australia V. England at Sydney
The English batsmen are at the crease against Australia in the first Test of the Bodyline series.
It's a glorious Australian summer's day and the capacity crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground is enjoying the spectacle and the sunshine. It's the first Test of the 1932-33 tour of Australia and the English batsmen, including Herbert Sutcliffe and Robert Wyatt, are facing some stiff bowling from Clarence Grimmet and Lisle Nagel. Australian hopes and spirits would have been high at this point. Little did they know that they were to be part of probably the most famous/infamous sporting contest the cricketing world has ever seen: the Bodyline series. But this was yet to come.
With Australia's leading batsman Bradman not taking part in the first Test, England got the series off to a flying start, with Larwood the star player, taking 10 wickets for 124 runs.

Rainbow Dreams Trust
• We are a Cape Town based not for profit organisation working together with disadvantaged South African youth for a better future
• Every project we undertake focuses not only on immediate need, but also looks ahead to the future impact of our intervention
• We believe that in order for positive sustainable change to be made, our disadvantaged youth need to have the confidence and positive self image necessary to set and reach goals and hence follow their dreams
• We provide support to our youth on this journey, as they navigate through the many dangers and traps inherent in their environment
Breaking Walls
Breaking Walls 2018 Cape Town "Inclusive City" will bring together 24 young people from Rainbow Dreams Trust, Groenvlie High School. Through creating Art together, these new Breaking Walls artists will learn about themselves and unfamiliar youth cultures, enabling them to see that they are not alone and to leave prejudices behind.
Breaking Walls is a writing theatre project, which focuses on young people having their voices heard, how do we create a better world. A world where racism, intolerance, discrimination and hate are things of the past. Instead a world of love and acceptance, of all religious affiliations, race, gender preferences, a world united with no form of discrimination. Rainbow Dreams Trust has partnered with the Breaking Walls project for the past five years. We are inspired by the phenomenal results we have seen in the collective voices of youth, addressing problems the world faces today. After attending the yearly International 14 day Breaking Walls projects, hosted in various overseas countries, Rainbow Dreams Trust decided to bring this much needed project, home to our diverse Cape Town youth.
We now hold an annual Breaking Walls workshop in Cape Town from 3rd to 7th October at a campsite in Noordhoek.
13 students from Groenvlei and Hout Bay high schools, will work together with 11 of our Rainbow Dreams Trust, township youth club members. At this five day workshop, the 25 students will work, sleep. eat together, learn about each other's cultures, share the problems and issues they all face in their different communities and work together to find solutions. Communicating, it is inspiring to work with these young creative minds and to witness the powerful transformation of three such different communities now bonded together through mutual understanding.
The students then return to their own communities with a greater understanding and acceptance of each other's differences and go forward to spread the word of acceptance and the need for unity, so powerful.

The effect of continuing professional education on health care outcomes: Lessons for dementia care
Publication Date
Publication Details
Rampatige, R., Dunt, D., Doyle, C. J, Day, S. & van Dort, P. (2009). The effect of continuing professional education on health care outcomes: Lessons for dementia care. International Psychogeriatrics,21(S1), S34-S43. United Kingdom: International Psychogeriatrics. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1017/S1041610209008746
Background: This review presents an overview of the published literature on the effectiveness of continuing professional education (CPE), which includes continuing medical education (CME) of different health care professionals in healthcare settings, for improving patient management and patient outcomes. This review summarizes key articles published on the subject, including those relating to dementia care. Methods: A literature search was carried out using the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database, Cochrane database and Eric databases. Results: Studies on CPE generally provide conflicting evidence on their effectiveness in bringing about a change in professional practices and healthcare outcomes. However interactive, multifaceted interventions, and interventions with repeated inputs appear more effective in bringing about positive changes than traditional non-interactive techniques. There are relatively few studies specifically concerning CPE and dementia care. Conclusion: This review shows that CPE in dementia care needs to be targeted carefully. Much can be learnt from examining education approaches in the wider professional and medical education literature.

Delivery: 7-10 working days
This useful native shrub gives a superb autumn show, perfect for an informal hedge, when the leaves turn a brilliant red matched only by the brightness of the red winter stems.
Prune hard each spring to produce the best winter stems. Hedges within gardens create a softer, more wildlife friendly boundary and can provide a great seasonal display of flowers, berries and autumn colour.
Even a small hedge can create your own little wildlife habitat. They can be close clipped or left a bit wilder, a mix of native varieties will give different periods of interest and a good nesting and winter food source for birds.
Planting distances vary from 30-60cm/1-2ft depending on the variety and the size of hedge required.
For a denser hedge plant a staggered double row with 38cm/15in between rows and 45cm/18ins between plants. All our hedging will be delivered as bare rooted bundles, with approximate height of up to 100cm/3.5ft depending on the variety.
Plant size is approximately 45-60cm on arrival.
A key part of my newly planted native english hedgerow
slow delivery so these plants arrived in poor condition but are picking up
Hedges in gardens are much nicer to look at than a wooden fence, they create a softer more wildlife friendly boundary and depending on variety they can provide a great seasonal display of flowers, berries and autumn colour. Hedging is also great for wildlife
Advice on how to plant bare roots.
Our products are all grown with the utmost care and to high standards of quality. We regularly check our nursery stock to determine exactly when they will be at the optimum time for despatch.
We despatch our fresh, nursery-grown live plants (including vegetables, trees and flowers) when they are at a stage of growth ready for you, the customer, to plant on at home.
The delivery period shown on your order confirmation indicates when you can expect to receive your order and we will endeavour to despatch your plants in this period within 7-14 days

Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
MB ChB, FRCS (T&O)
Some of the principal treatments carried out by Mrs Lisa Leonard at Spire include:
Hand and Wrist Surgery: Orthopaedic surgery: Wrist surgery, Hand Surgery.
I was born in Leicestershire and have lived in most areas of the country over the years. I trained at Cambridge University and then in Birmingham, Newcastle, Swindon, Bath, Oxford and Seattle. During my clinical training I was awarded a research fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons allowing me to undertake a year of full time research culminating in the award of an MSc in Orthopaedic Engineering from Cardiff University.
My MSc thesis concerned the kinematics of wrist replacement surgery. I obtained the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons with a special interest in Orthopaedic and Trauma surgery in 2004 and then went on to further subspecialty training in Hand Surgery in Oxford and Trauma Surgery in Seattle. After six months as a locum consultant in Reading I took up post in Brighton in July 2006.
Since working in Brighton, I have helped to introduce an electronic system to manage trauma services and has re-organised hand trauma provision to provide a consultant led service to patients across the region. The recently-launched Sussex Hand Surgery website provides patient centred information on all aspects of the care that I, and my other hand surgery colleagues, undertake.
