Co-op Group announces sweeping reforms
The Co-op has unveiled radical reforms to the way it is managed following a series of financial problems at the group.
It will cut the number of board members from 18 to 11 and create a board of directors who have qualifications suited to running the business.
Members will be given one vote apiece.
The Co-op, the country's oldest and biggest mutual organisation, lost £2.5bn last year following a massive loss at the Co-operative Bank.
A review of the way the business was run was carried out earlier this year by Lord Myners, who called the group "manifestly dysfunctional" and recommended a major shake-up.
Euan Sutherland, who resigned as chief executive of the Co-op Group in March after 10 months in the job, said the organisation in its then form was "ungovernable".
Traditionally, directors were Co-op members, who did not necessarily have any relevant experience. They have included a retired teacher and a plasterer.
The organisation's eight million members did not have a direct vote, but elected officials to vote on their behalf.
The Co-op's members voted to introduce sweeping changes at a special meeting earlier this year.
The board will in future have a majority of independent directors - including an independent chairman and five independent non-executive directors. However, the board will have three positions for member-nominated directors, contrary to Lord Myners' recommendations.
The new rules will also protect against de-mutualisation.
Ursula Lidbetter, chair of the Co-operative Group, said: "These governance reforms represent the final crucial step in delivering the necessary change to restore the group and return it to health.
"This has been a process built on co-operation, focusing above all on creating a society where every member has a voice in shaping the group's future."
The Co-op Group began as a small shop in Lancashire and has woven its way into British communities. There is a Co-op food store in every UK postal district and its businesses range from food retailing to funeral parlours.
In 2013, the Co-operative Bank was found to have a £1.5bn gap in its finances and the Co-op Group then had to relinquish control of the bank as part of the subsequent rescue package.
The Co-op Group has also been selling off parts of the business in order to reduce debt.
This week it sold its farms business for £249m to health charity the Wellcome Trust, and last month it agreed to sell its 774-strong pharmacy chain for £620m to Bestway Group.


text: This 334ha cattle farm is situated approximately 30km from Lydenburg on the Lydenburg-Machadodorp road (24km tarred road and 6km dirt road). The house is a typical comfortable farmhouse with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, lounge and dining area and a country kitchen. A storeroom as well as a laundry complete the homestead whilst staff quarters are situated in close proximity to the house. There are 3 fountains on the farm and all water applications are gravity fed. There are nine dams of various sizes that are mostly seasonally fed and authorisation has been obtained for extensions and modification to the existing dams as well as the construction of new dams. The farm reaches into the high ground of the Kwena Basin with vistas over the valley and the Steenkamps Mountains beyond. Herds of wild Kudu roam the farm and up to 20 Kudu have been spotted in the more remote part of the farm. One of these areas, where cool spring waters flow freely, has aptly been named as the 'Kudu Crèche' – an area where newly born offspring are nursed. A network of approximately 8km of roads, accessible by 4x4 vehicles, takes one to these remote mountainous areas. Numerous water points have been established throughout the farm, allowing cattle and game easy access to water, enabling the farm a capacity of roughly 2-3 ha per animal. There are at present approximately 100 head of cattle on the farm.

When Hard Work Pays Off
Lonnie Rashid Lynn Jr.—better known as the rapper Common—may still have a residence in Brooklyn, but he's totally gone Hollywood. This week, the 36-year-old Kanye West crony follows up his supporting role in American Gangster with a turn as a wise assassin alongside Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman in Wanted, loosely based on the Matrixy comic-book miniseries. Even more impressive: His new album, Invincible Summer, arrives in July; he'll costar with Christian Bale in 2009's Terminator 4; and he has been cast as Green Lantern in a live-action adaptation of DC Comics' Justice League of America. We spoke to Common as he was cruising around Los Angeles, dishing out driving directions.

Has anybody noticed the pricing models that companies use when selling Open Source Software and Free Software? After looking around at Best Buy, I became convinced that some of the Linux distributions were being sold by a company's finance department -- not by anyone who cares about the Free Software spirit.
Convinced that this was merely a problem with Best Buy, who was selling Red Hat Linux 6.1 for $79.95, I went to the source of this issue, Red Hat's online store, and found that they did indeed sell it for $79.95. This, as was confirmed by many people I have talked to, is absolutely incredible, not to mention insane. Granted, they also sell a $29.99 version and a $149.99 version that are the "base" and the "professional" versions, respectively. 150 bucks for a Linux distribution largely based on Free Software? Why would anyone want to spend more for an operating system than they would for Windows, especially one that is supposedly free?
Is there an alternative to this madness? Many, many alternatives exist to this problem. The first, which I don't suggest for anyone except users of broadband technology, is to download Red Hat Linux off of the 'net. This can take quite a long time, as anyone who has been involved with Linux before it was mass-produced can testify to. Another alternative is to buy the $29.99 version or to buy a book bundle, which does not include the phone support that the higher levels include. The third major alternative is my personal favorite: don't use Red Hat Linux.
Well, unfortunately, the last alternative can be quite hard to accomplish. Red Hat Linux seems to be everywhere that computers are sold, and all the other distributions seem to be hard to find. Debian, my personal favorite GNU/Linux distribution, did not have commercial backing until recently. This unfortunately means that you cannot find it in stores, except with book bundles, which I have only seen at one major bookstore near where I live.
This should be changing soon, as VA Linux Systems, O'Reilly Associates and SGI have announced that they are going to support the Debian Project by sponsoring the introduction of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system to major retail stores. This, with a rumored suggested introduction price of $29.99, is truly the way that GNU/Linux was meant to be: just enough to cover manufacturing and shipping costs, with all profit made from sales of it going to Software in the Public Interest, a non-profit organization for Open Source projects including Debian.
Maybe I am over-reacting about Red Hat and their pricing models, but I don't think so. Charging $79.99 or $149.99 for a piece of software is something that Microsoft would do, but not something that a Free Software supporter would do.

Shakeout of High Ranking Military Leaders-Truth!
Shakeout of High Ranking Military Leaders-Truth!
Summary of eRumor:This is a forwarded email that contains an ABC report that alleged of a shakeout of military generals and admirals.
The Truth:There was a report on October 11, 2013 by ABC's Martha Raddatz of a major shakeout of military leaders owing to ethic policy violations or lack of leadership. The report was introduced by Dianne Sawyer. Click here for the article.
Another version of this eRumor contained a long list put together by Major General Paul Vallely. We found articles posted on his website that said President Obama was purging the military – 197 officers in 5 Years. Click here for original articles.
Some versions of this eRumor alleged that General Carter Ham was fired and they are unproven. Ham retired from the Army in 2013. On October 31, 2012, a little over a month after the attack on the U.S. Embassy facility in Benghazi, the Department of Defense released a statement that said General Carter Ham was retiring after President Obama nominated Army General David M. Rodriguez to succeed him as leader of Africom. Rodriguez was approved by the U.S. Senate for the post in March 2013 and one month later General Ham officially retired. TruthorFiction.Com reported his replacement in November 2012. Click for report.
Not all the firings were directly done by President Obama as some versions of this eRumor may allege. Major General Ralph Baker was relieved of his post on April 4, 2013 by General Carter Ham owing to alcohol and sexual misconduct charges. This according to a April 5, 2013 article by Military.Com.
General Bryan Roberts was suspended for adultery and a physical altercation with according to a May 22, 2013 article by USA Today. Roberts's case remains under investigation.
The Department of Defense has posted an ethics guidance page on the Internet with resources for military conduct. Click here for Ethic Guidance.
Posted 11/07/13 Updated 03/11/14
A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:
Purge of Military Commanders?
On October 12, 2013, ABC's Dianne Sawyer brought us a video of a 9th, yes 9th, General fired from the military this week. It's even reaching some of the more liberal stations and begging them to ask the question, "What is going on?" It seems President Obama is preparing what he calls "my military" for his version of the final solution. With all the documentation we have, it looks as though he is purging the military for the next step.
We have now seen this official President Obama temper-tantrum in action this week. But is it a temper-tantrum or is there a method to his madness?
We have been warned by a Pentagon Official to expect radical changes. You heard of our dire warnings of Chinese Economists planning to foreclose and forming the TPP Treaty that could set a global economy in motion. We have the very real possibility of 16 U.S. States being shut-down and handed over due to debt in this mess. We even have a CIA whistle blower warning us that President Obama wants to radically take over power. People are crying out, where is our military in this mess?
Well, there seems to be some very credible evidence that since last year and through this year that there has been a "litmus test" given to American Military Officers. The Main point of that test, "Would you fire on an American Citizen?" If you say no, then as Donald Trump would say, "Your fired!" Since the beginning of the year these retired officers have come forward with ""President Obama is preparing for war against the U.S. ". We even know Dr. Garrow and others confirmed this litmus test.
Then we have heard President Obama himself talk about "My Military".
And this isn't all. This strange chain of firings from the Military is so bizarre and so unheard of that even Dianne Sawyer of ABC news reached out to cover it when the 9th, yes 9th, Military Commanding Officer was relieved of duty in less than a year. This doesn't include the long list last year, this is just the nine individuals this year alone.
General Carter Hamm, United States Army-Served as head of the United States African Command. Was in charge of the US African command during the fateful night of September 11, 2012 when the lives of four American citizens was taken in the Embassy in Benghazi . Hamm was extremely critical of our Commander and Chief and stated he lied about not having reinforcements in the area on that night. Hamm "resigned and retired" on April of 2013.
Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette/ United States Navy-Commander of Carrier Strike Group Three. His most recent activity served as Deputy Commander of the US Naval Forces, US Central Command. He was in charge of Air Craft Carriers in the Mediterranean Sea the night of September 11, 2012. He testified before the hearing committee and said that there may not have been time to get the flight crews there but left the door open on if told when the events took place if that he could have had the aircraft launched upon cross-examination by Rep. Tray Gowdey. Recently fired from the Administrative post and relieved of Duty by the Obama Administration for "utterance of a racial slur".
Major General Ralph Baker, United States Army- Major General Baker served as the Commander of the Joint Task Force-Horn at Camp Lamar , Djibouti , Africa . Was also involved in some aspect with the incident September 11, 2012, being under the African Command. Had said he believed attack helicopters could have made it in time. Relieved of command and fired for groping a civilian (no assault charges or sexual misconduct charges filed with JAG)
Brigadier General Bryan Roberts, United States Army-General Roberts took command of Fort Jackson in 2011. Was considered a rising star in his field. He served in Iraq during his service as the Commanding Officer of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, and was the Deputy Commanding General of the United States Army Recruiting Command, Fort Knox , KY. Relieved of Duty and Fired for Adultery. While this is still on the books in the United States Code of Military Justice, it has rarely been used since President Bill Clinton's indiscretions.
Major General Gregg A. Sturdevant, United States Marine Corps-Director of Strategic Planning and Policy of for the United States Pacific Command and Commander of the aviation wing at Camp Bastion , Afghanistan . Highly decorated soldier with two Naval and Marine Commendations and two Naval and Marine Good Conduct medals. He also has an Air Medal with a gold star. He served honorably and distinctively. He had asked about supplies to his command. He was one of two commanding officers suddenly relieved of command and fired from the military for failure of proper force protection.
Major General Charles M.M. Gurganus, United States Marine Corps- Regional Commander in the Southwest and I Marine Expeditionary Force (a forward or frontal division) in Afghanistan. Also Highly decorated with a Defense Superior Service Medal, two Legion of Merritt w/Valor, and three Meritorious Service Commendations. Major General C.M.M. Gurganus had questioned the use of Afghanistan patrols along side American patrols after two officers were executed at their desk and a platoon was lead into an ambush on the front lines. Was the other commander relieved of duty for failure of proper force protection.
Lieutenant General David Holmes Huntoon Jr, United States Army-Served as the 58th Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY. He had graduated from the same academy in 1973 and had served in Senior Planning and Education Services through the majority of his career. He was "censored" for "an investigation" into an "improper relationship" according to The Department of Defense. Nothing was released to the nature of the improper relationship. Nothing was even mentioned if an actual investigation even took place.
Vice Admiral Tim Giardina, United States Navy-Deputy Commander of the United States Strategic Command. Commander of the Submarine Group Trident, Submarine Group 9 and Submarine Group 10, where every single one of the 18 Nuclear Submarines with Nuclear Trident Missiles of those three groups were in his command. This commander earned six Legions of Merit, Two Meritorious Service Medals, two Joint Service Commendation Medals, and several other medals, ribbons and decorations in his illustrious career. He was removed from service and fired from the military for the charge of using counterfeit poker chips (not making that up).
Last on the list, Major General Michael Carry, United States Air Force-Commander 20th Air Force in charge of 9,600 people and 450 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) at three operational wings and served in both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He was Fired October 11, 2013, for "Personal Misbehavior" is what was told to ABC News. He and Giardina were both the two top Commanders over the United States Nuclear Arsenal before their dismissal within 48 hours of each other.
As ABC News reports, this is an extremely alarming rate and
one of the biggest and fastest purges of military personnel ever recorded. It apparently is such a shock at the rate even for a long time veteran of reporting the news as Dianne Sawyer, because at one point she gets heated saying two Commanders of the Nuclear Command.
You don't put people who are not very intelligent and without a squeaky clean record over that area of the Military. It is enough to make the hardest and staunchest of supporters as the ABC news crew to pause and ask themselves, "what step is he planning?"
Another version:
Major General Paul Vallely (Ret):

Since Barack Obama has been in the White House, high ranking military officers have been removed from their positions at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented. Things have gotten so bad that a number of retired generals are publicly speaking out about the 'purg' of the U.S. military that they believe is taking place. As you will see below, dozens of highly decorated military leaders have been dismissed from their positions over the past few years. So why is this happening? What is going on right now is absolutely crazy especially during a time of peace. Is there a deliberate attempt to reshape the military and remove those who don't adhere to the proper 'viewpoints' ? Does someone out there feel a need to get officers that won't cooperate out of the way?
Throughout world history, whatever comes next after a military purge is never good.
If this continues, what is the U.S. military going to look like in a few years?
Perhaps you are reading this and you think that 'purge' is too strong a word for what is taking place. Well, justconsider the following quotes from some very highly decorated retired officers:
-Retired Army Major General Paul Vallely: The White House protects their own. That's why they stalled on the investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. He's intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.
-Retired Army Major General Patrick Brady: There is no doubt he (Obama) is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with him.
-Retired Army Lt. General William G. Jerry Boykin: Over the past three years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be relieved of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause.
-Retired Navy Captain Joseph John: I believe there are more than 137 officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports so they will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply to certain views.
A Pentagon official who asked to remain nameless because they were not authorized to speak on the matter said even young officers, down through the ranks have been told not to talk about Obama or the politics of the White House. They are purging everyone and if you want to keep your job just keep your mouth shut. Now this trend appears to be accelerating.
General Vallely's comment:
Absolutely every communist regime on the planet did this as soon as they got in power. I am surprised this communist traitor with his feet up on our furniture in the white house hasn't done this until now!
I am doing my part. How about forwarding this.
(General Paul Vallely)

Jim Belushi to Play Taran Killam's Father in Showtime Comedy
Jim Belushi is headed to Showtime.
The premium cable network has cast the former According to Jim star opposite Taran Killam in Jason Katims' upcoming comedy Mating. Written and created by The Americans' Stu Zicherman, the comedic anthology explores modern dating, with each season focusing on a different protagonist's journey.
The first season will center on Jay, a newly divorced guy played by Killam. After marrying young, he now finds himself unprepared for the world of dating and hooking up. Belushi will portray Jay's father and business partner, Paul.
Zicherman will pen the script and executive produce alongside Katims and his Universal Television-based True Jack Productions head Michelle Lee. The project was first put in development in August 2014. Showtime boarded the comedy as a co-production with Universal Television after ordering the pilot.
Belushi was recently seen on the small screen in HBO's Show Me a Hero, and has roles in the the upcoming dramas Good Girls Revolt and Twin Peaks. He's repped by ICM Partners and Brillstein.

text: I thought I would share some very greedy for colour snippets from the garden. The persimmons have been tremendous this year and so plentiful and we can eat oodles and still have a tree festooned with orange balls. Couldn't resist sneaking in one of the General Galliani roses as well - the most prolific bloomer I have ever come across.

The new delisting norms, which require the participation of at least 25 per cent of public shareholders for the process to be successful, will ensure that promoters make a "very honest attempt" to reach out to investors, Sebi chief U K Sinha said on Saturday.
Ruling out any possibility of having a re-look at the new delisting norms that were approved by the Sebi board earlier this week, Sinha said the regulations would help address irregularities in the whole process.
"My feeling is that it will incentivise, it will force the promoters to make a very honest attempt to reach out to shareholders. I am sure if they do that some of them will succeed," Sinha told reporters in New Delhi.
When asked whether there would be a re-look at the new norms on 25 per cent public shareholding tendering in a delisting process, as there is a perception it would adversely impact delisting activities, Sinha said, "not at all".
Delisting would be considered successful only if at least 25 per cent of the public shareholders participated in the reverse book building process, as per the new norms of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).
The 25 per cent public shareholding that have to be tendered in a delisting process has to be in demat form.
Sinha said there are stories that some of the people were trying to have side deal with promoters if they wanted the delisting to succeed.
"On the other side, there were instances where promoters were able to corner some shares through their friendly shareholders or friendly intermediaries and even with two shareholders, five or ten shareholders in a company, where there were thousands of investors, they were able to do it," he said.
Sinha was speaking to reporters after inaugurating Bombay Stock Exchange's (BSE) new investor service centre in New Delhi.
There have also been instances when only two shareholders have been able to tender the shareholding and the delisting have succeeded.
"I think it is a fraud. If you have hundreds of thousands of shareholders, and just two of them come together and the shares get delisted, it is definitely against the interests of vast majority, super majority of shareholders," Sinha said.
Acknowledging that there was a defect in Sebi regulations efforts have been made to control the irregularities.
"One irregularity was on the side of certain smart investors who were cornering shares prior to or immediately after the announcement and they were able to dictate the price because our price fixation mechanism was, if I can say, defective. We have corrected that now," the Sebi chief said.
On when the new norms would be effective, Sinha said it would not take too much time.
"Normally it takes about a couple of months for our regulations finally drafted and vetted," he added.

Day Students
Day students play a full role in life at Wanganui Collegiate - the only difference is that they don't have a pillow!
Day students contribute fully to all that Wanganui Collegiate School has to offer, from the excellent academic education to sport, music, drama and extra-curricular activities. Day students are welcomed to Collegiate and benefit from the seven-day programme of teaching and activity that has been developed as part of our provision as a leading New Zealand boarding school.
This is so much more than what is available at a traditional day school, where the school day is limited and generally only five days a week. At Collegiate, students have roll call in their Houses each morning, and leave at the end of each full and active day to return to their families, many choosing to stay and complete prep on site.
Each day student becomes a member of one of the boarding Houses so they play a full part in school life. They can also stay for the night if they want to through our casual boarding option. Under the Enrolment scheme with the Ministry of Education, our day student numbers are capped at 150.

Ocean Finance
Web design and UX design
During my time at 'Think Money Group', I worked on the Ocean Finance team. Ocean Finance mainly focuses on the sale of bad credit credit cards, but it also offers life insurance, personal loans, home owner loans, mortgages and gadget insurance.
A/B test examples
I was involved with conducting A/B tests (split tests) for Ocean Finance and its varying products. Comparing the data of two versions of a webpage allowed for a data driven approach to design changes. The goal was to increase conversion from one stage of a journey to another and ultimately increase sales of a particular product. See below a few examples of tests that where conducted.
We saw a lot of users quickly leaving the form page of the Credit Card journey even though they had engaged with the call to action on the previous landing page. There could be many reasons for this but as a test, we created an 'exit intent' pop up modal which would appear once the user had attempted to leave the browser window. This test proved to have a negative effect on keeping customers engaged with the form.

This month MoneyChords.com is spotlighting our favorite Ohio songwriter, LF Lavery's (pictured above) song Clearwater Dreaming. This song should be required on every Clearwater Beach bar band's playlist. You can almost hear the steel drums and feel the white sand between your toes. Below are the lyrics as sung on the mp3 below.
LF Lavery explains how the song came about this way: "Basically, with a bad illness forcing me to winter in Clearwater Beach for the past several years, I picked a guitar back up after about a 40 year hiatus. My wife went back and forth to Ohio so I spent a good deal of time alone. With my surfing and water sking days over, I began writing some music again after 40 years. In this song, the people and the places are real and I tried to in some way capture the laid back pace and rhythm of the local scene rather than "helter skelter" goings on of the tourists and spring breakers. At 61 years of age, it never ceases to amaze me how some songs seem to write themselves. Clearwater Dreaming is such a song. A simple progression and sensory stimulation of the local people and places made it virtually flow on to the notebook."
The sun will shine tomorrow morning,
Like it tried to do today,
And the rain that gave no warning,
Will be gone and far away,
But tonight down at Pier 60,
That's where everybody comes,
To drink those Margaritas,
Watch the Gulf swallow the sun.
Here on the white sands,
Across from the bay,
I'll be Clearwater Dreaming,
Half a block from Mandalay.
Captain Bill and his sweet Linda,
Sailed in just on time,
To meet Sheryl and Jerry,
At the bar they call Scene Of the Crime.
And the lights from the hi-rise,
Shine like diamonds on the beach,
They remind me of her eyes,
And they're just as out of reach.
And there on the white sands,
Just across from the bay,
I'll be Clearwater Dreaming,
Half a block from Mandalay.
Night breeze moves the palm trees,
Darkness cools the air,
As I look through the moonlight,
I think I see you there.
But it's all in my mind,
I'm as wrong as I can be,
Cause I've known for a long time,
You can't see a memory.
And here on the white sands,
Just across from the bay,
I'll be Clearwater Dreaming,
Half a block from Mandalay,
Half a block from Mandalay.

Nikolai Semyonovich Golovanov
(21 January 1891 – 28 August 1953)
He conducted the premiere performances of a number of works, among them Nikolai Myaskovsky's sixth symphony in May 1924, and recorded operas and concert works by Glazunov, Mussorgsky and Liszt among others. Golovanov held some of the highest musical positions in the USSR, including an extensive association with the Bolshoi Opera. In her autobiography, Galina Vishnevskaya terms him the theater's chief conductor, and tells of his dismissal from the Bolshoi and his death - which she attributed to the humiliation of the experience of losing this position. It has been reported that Golovanov's firing was the result of Stalin's displeasure at Golovanov's having tried to use a Jewish singer, Mark Reizen, in the title role of Tsar Boris Godunov in his recording of Mussorgsky's opera. Golovanov actually did record the opera with Reizen as Boris, but later remade Reizen's part with another Boris, Alexander Pirogov. Golovanov's recorded output was substantial and quite individual in interpretive approach. In his discography we find all but one of the Liszt tone poems, the complete Scriabin symphonies and Piano Concerto, Tchaikovsky's 1st and 6th symphonies, as well as shorter works, Beethoven's 1st Symphony, Violin Concerto and Triple Concerto, Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade and his operas Sadko and Christmas Eve, Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov and Pictures at an Exhibition, Rachmaninoff's 2nd and 3rd symphonies, plus the opera Aleko and other compositions, Glazunov's 5th, 6th and 7th symphonies, and scores by Grieg, Mozart and others. Based upon the evidence of his recordings, Golovanov's characteristic performance mode was full-blooded and nearly vehement in tone, with a powerful, almost overloaded sense of sonority, and extreme flexibility in matters of tempo, phrasing and dynamics. Golovanov was also a composer; his works include the opera "Princess Yurata", symphonies, two symphonic poems, orchestral suites, overtures on Russian themes, over 200 Romances, arrangements of folk songs, and a number of choral religious works. He was a well-regarded piano accompanist in the early years of his career. He was married to the soprano Antonina Nezhdanova.

Tonight on "90210," Annie + Jasper, Silver moves in with Jackie, Ade blows it with Navid and Harry calls Debbie "Kelly." OOPS.
Kelly, Silver & Jackie
Silver has to tell Kelly about Jackie's cancer. Kelly balks at first, not wanting to get sucked back into Jackie's life and drama. Silver goes to see Jackie and finds out she's got about three months left. Jackie asks Silver to move in with her for the time being.
Kelly goes to see Jackie and tells her about Silver being bipolar and how good they're doing and that Jackie should leave Silver alone. Silver is mad about Kelly's meddling and they fight and Silver eventually goes over to Jackie's house to move in.
Annie & Jasper
Romance is a-brewing and Annie's sex-photo-taking booty call Mark is actually a bit jealous. Also, what's with the Columbine joke? It's like they thought if they dug back 10 1/2 years it wouldn't be distasteful. What, they didn't feel they could use "Virginia Tech?" Ugh.
Anyway, Mark asks Annie to hang out with him and SHOCKINGLY she turns down the creepy dude who took a picture of her boobs. He then tells her that Jasper is a psycho who pulled a knife on someone and she should stay away, so Annie gives Jasper the cold shoulder. Et tu, Outcast Annie?
She then thanks Mark for warning her about Jasper, he apologizes to her again and she agrees to hang out with him. Oh gross. He took a topless photo of you, ANNIE! So naturally she goes to the beach with him, he tries to take things too far and Jasper saves her. Oh this is so vintage 90210, I love it! But Annie is an idiot, just for the record. Not only for messing around with skeazy Mark but also for getting involved with the NEPHEW OF THE MAN SHE RAN OVER.
Jasper takes Annie home and tells her the knife story isn't true. She tells him she's no longer scared off and appears to move in for a kiss. Later, we see Jasper use a knife to mark up and blow a tire out of Mark's car.
Jen & Naomi
While riding horses, Jen asks for $100,000 for a lawyer to get money from her French husband. Naomi is all,"No way, you signed a prenup and someone needs to be responsible with money," so Jen is total bitch to her because that's how she rolls. Break a leg, Jen's horse.
Jen makes up with Naomi, telling her she's moving out temporarily. It's
another ploy by masterful Jen to make Naomi feel sorry for her. Sigh.
Offfff course Naomi writes her a big fat check and offff course Jen
uses the money to buy a big expensive racehorse. When she reveals "Continental Accent" to Naomi, Naomi looks less than thrilled but Jen says it was a gift.
Ryan & Harry
Jen also manages to be a bitch to Ryan about dating other people and what not, though he's clearly fallen for her. Gross, Ryan. Speaking of gross, Principal Harry wants to go out for "frosties" with Ryan. Oh dear. They go to a bar and a cute girl chats up Ryan, telling him if his "friend" leaves he can join her and her girlfriends.
Um, maybe it's just me (and no offense to Eggold) but I'd take Rob Estes over Ryan Eggold every day of the week and twice on Sundays. It goes all the way back to "Silk Stalkings," baby. They get drunk and Harry won't stop blathering on about his family problems, it's hilarious. Then the bartender slips Ryan her number. Who died and made him Brad Pitt? When he gets home all drunk, Harry has trouble making his hangover cure in the kitchen so Debbie helps him and when she hands it to him, he says, "Thank you, Kelly." OOPS.
Navid & Adrianna
Ade breaks up with Navid before the opening credits roll. Ouch. Navid cries (almost literally) to Dixon and Liam when they hang out at the Boys-Only-No-Girls-Allowed Clubhouse and Ade moves right on to making out with Teddy. Of course, Teddy doesn't want a relationship with Ade and she runs off, realizing she made a huge mistake. Of course, Navid has turned to his new BFF Teddy for advice and knows what happened between them and he won't take Ade back.
We see only about 5 seconds of them this weekend, but what we do see is Dixon going over to Sasha's house for a little sumpin-sumpin.
Next Tuesday is the Halloween episode! Do you suppose there will be an attempted rape like on the original?

Since I work with struggling readers, I always like to find non fiction text that these lower readers can read on their own, find engaging, and that will teach them something new.
From Good Reads:
Gum has been around for centuries. The ancient Greeks chewed sap from mastic trees. The American Indians chewed spruce resin. Men in top hats and women in puffy dresses chewed gum to cure things like stomachaches. Gum wasn't that exciting. But what if gum chewers could blow bubbles while chewing it? In the late 1920s a factory in Philadelphia was working on a top secret project. Month after month the workers experimented with different ingredients and formulas. And month after month all they had to show for their hard work was a big sticky mess. Would there be no bubble gum? Sometimes the best inventions come from the most unexpected places...Full of fun historical facts, Pop! is the true story of how bubble gum was invented.

|Need Help??
So again, since you didn't answer my question...
What problem are you currently facing that having an agreed-upon name for some code (as if that could happen) would solve it?
I just don't get it. I've never stood around and said to myself "if only I could describe this code..." or even more unlikely, been with another Perl coder staring at code saying "if only we could describe this code...".
It's just not a problem for us. In what way is it a problem for you, and what assistance are you actually asking for? And what would you do with the response?
In fact, give it a try. Post some code to SOPW, and say "I need help to describe this code". Watch for all the puzzled responses.

Hi everyone,
New to the site and finding it a very informative place.
I am going to Turkey at the end of October and I would like to have Ivy vines and leaves done all the way up both legs and both arms. I have tried to find someone closer to home to do it but not having any luck, now with my holiday (a surprise from my partner) I have no time to have it done when I get back so thought it would be nice to have it done while on holiday.
I know I will find a million henna stalls offering stencils (and possibly lots of black evil paste!) but because its a big job I need an artist able to do it well and know I wont end up scarred. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.

This week was NAPLAN. For those who live in the world outside of nationwide standardised testing, NAPLAN is the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy. Australian students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sat through 5 tests over 3 days. According to the body that organises the testing, ACARA, "NAPLAN tests the sorts of skills that are essential for every child to progress through school and life, such as reading, writing, spelling and numeracy."
Now, I must be up front in my belief about NAPLAN: I don't hold it in particularly high regard. While I understand its use in making broad comparisons across schools, states and school systems, due to the way it has developed the testing places unnecessary strain on individual students. Media hype has confused the purpose of NAPLAN, portraying it as a summative rather than formative assessment. These tests are not ends in themselves; they should not be used to denigrate schools or to make claims about what some educators are failing to do for their students. Rather, these tests should be used by states, schools and other educators to examine the learning that is taking place within their locus of control.
If a school finds that its students have excelled in a particular skill, then it should celebrate that success and be proud of what it is achieving. If, on the other hand, results show that students have been broadly unable to apply another skill, then it is indicative of what more needs to be done, of an area of learning that may have been neglected. But since learning does not end with NAPLAN, such results should only be used to provide direction in further teaching and learning, not to indicate failure.
What would be serious is if over time, the testing shows a school/state to be continually performing poorly on the same skills; that is to say, if they have not learned from prior mistakes. And that is what we should all pay attention to.

In context:
… We refuse to recognize that everything better is purchased at the price of something worse; that, for example, the hope of greater freedom is canceled out by increased enslavement to the state, not to speak of the terrible perils to which the most brilliant discoveries of science expose us. The less we understand of what our fathers and forefathers sought, the less we understand ourselves, and thus we help with all our might to rob the individual of his roots and his guiding instincts, so that he becomes a particle in the mass, ruled only by what Nietzsche called the spirit of gravity.
Reforms by advances, that is, by new methods or gadgets, are of course impressive at first, but in the long run they are dubious and in any case dearly paid for. They by no means increase the contentment or happiness of people on the whole. Mostly, they are deceptive sweetenings of existence, like speedier communications which unpleasantly accelerate the tempo of life and leave us with less time than ever before. Omnis festinatio ex parte diaboli est—all haste is of the devil, as the old masters used to say.

Here is die news for May 15th. Troops of the Tenth Army in Italy have continued their valiant defence of southern Italy, aided by loyal Italian forces. Our troops are described as using the terrain to their fullest advantage, with casualties to the invaders estimated to be very heavy.
|Italian armor in German Service
Troops around the town of Cassino have successfully completed their withdrawal to the Hitler Line. Infantry forces, fighting from prepared positions and backed by units of the Herman Goering panzer division, have inflicted heavy casualties on large enemy infantry formations. In addition, local counterattacks have prevented enemy forces from attempting any pursuit.
|US Infantry stymied by Herman Göring Defenders
Further west, the defenders of the Garigliano River have completed a tactical redeployment in the face of heavy enemy pressure. Despite numerous assaults, the defenders of the river were able to move to better positions virtually unhindered, backed by heavy tank formations. In addition, reinforcements recently arrived have ensured that the invaders have been unable to gain any advantage from the small amount of land they have gained.
In a communique from Army Group C headquarters, Field Marshal Kesselring praised the defenders of Italy, saying that "their defiance inspires us all." He also acknowledged the magnificent efforts of loyal Italians fighting to preserve their country. He described the recent fighting as representing a "defensive victory."

Gauteng has been hardest hit by the petrol strike as Ceppwawu members downed tools three weeks ago.
Sapia's (S A Petroleum Industry Association) spokesperson Abafani Tshifularo said they have managed to clear areas that were no go zones as a result of the strike, with the help of police.
We have managed to catch up on supply of fuel from depots to fuel stations.— Abafani Tshifularo, Sapia
We don't have a full staff compliment... this is more evident in Gauteng and where certain grades of fuel are not available, motorists will get 93 instead of 95.— Abafani Tshifularo, Sapia
The strike resolution is in the hands of the National Petroleum Employers Association representing our interests and they are best placed to find a solution with the unions.— Abafani Tshifularo, Sapia

How to teach essay writing in a foreign language
Speaking, writing, listening and reading are the most essential skills one must possess to be able to advance in a foreign language. Among those, writing is probably the one which requires the most effort, knowledge and skills. When it comes to foreign language teaching, you will probably notice that some students love to write essays and papers, while some despise it. Nevertheless, writing is surely one of the best ways to test or prove real skills and ability of maneuvering in a language. The teacher's job is to bring out the best in every student, enabling them to reach their full potential and the best possible level of foreign language knowledge, and that also applies to writing.
Grammar, spelling and punctuation
Most foreign language teachers think that lessons they covered in grammar are sufficient when it comes to essay writing. When writing, teachers should encourage using more complex structures, such as passive, conditionals, a variety of tenses etc. When grading essays, you should also mind that grammar, vocabulary and the essay in whole (clarity of ideas, sentence 'flow') should be looked at separately. Also, a very important thing your students should know is how to tackle the most common problem in learning a foreign language: avoiding certain grammatic structures and choosing a simplified version of what they were going to say. You should encourage them to try and use some of those structures, even if they get it wrong — practice makes perfect!
Before starting an essay writing class, you should cover extensive vocabulary related to the topic you're about to assign. That way, students can have a better grip of what they're writing about, thus becoming more able to write a high quality essay or paper.
Linking words
A lesson on common linking words can be very productive, not only for writing, but all levels of language knowledge. If a student possesses great knowledge of linking words, they can organize their thoughts and ideas faster and more clearly, not only in writing, but also in speaking (conversating). Introduce your students to common linking words like firstly, secondly, however, also, yet etc. and you will see a great improvement in the way the form thoughts in the language they are learning. Once covered, a great way to practice linking words is to solve exercises which include word gaps. These kinds of tasks require a student to choose a best appropriate linking word based on the context of the entire sentence.
Arguments and ideas
A common mistake students make when writing is that they write directly on paper, without a draft. Make sure all of your students, before writing an essay, form a concept. A concept is not a draft, rather it's just a sketch covering all basic ideas in bullet points. Students often think that developing a concept is unnecessary, yet if they try it only once, they will learn how it can make their writing faster and smarter. Also, if your students are writing pro and con essays, make sure that beforehand they come up with a list of top pro and con arguments which they will include in the final version of the essay.

'Boro and Lachtain's have Leinster glory on the agenda
THE Dicksboro camogie girls will have Leinster glory in mind this weekend when they play the queens of Laois, Harps of Durrow in the Leinster intermediate final in Palmerstown.
Following the euphoria of their dramatic last gasp injury-time victory over Tullaroan in the county final, it will be back to business for Dicksboro in Leinster. They travelled to Dublin to face Lucan Sarsfields in the semi-final, and won by 3-10 to 1-9. They led by 2-5 to 1-4 at the interval with the goals from Niamh O'Donoghue and Orla Hanrick.
O'Donoghue and Hanrick also pointed during the opening-half with Jenny Dillon also finding the range. A scrambled goal in the second half sent the 'Boro on their way. Niamh O'Donoghue added four further points to stretch the advantage. O'Donoghue was top scorer with 1-6 (0-3 frees).
Harps are seasoned campaigner and they have been fantastic for camogie in Laois. They achieved a hat-trick of All-Irelands from 2006 to 2008 before their adventure ended when defeated by 3-10 to 0-16 by St Anne's in the All-Ireland semi-final in 2009.
The Leinster intermediate championship was run for the first time last year. Harps won it by overcoming near neighbours, a youthful and brave Lisdowney by 0-12 to 1-7 in Durrow.
Bruising encounter
Harps eventually contested the All-Ireland club final in March, but they lost to Eoghan Rua, Derry by 3-8 to 2-3.
The Laois champions made it six in-a-row by winning a hard fought county final against Camross by 0-10 to 1-4, before negotiating a bruising encounter against Bunclody (1-9 to 1-7) in the Leinster semi-final last weekend.
Those results suggest that Harps are not the formidable force they once were. Nevertheless, they are a powerful, physically strong outfit with experience in abundance.
Denise Quigley and Catriona Phelan are commanding figures in defence. The Dicksboro forwards who have been in devastating goal scoring form all year, won't find goals easy to come by.
The Mahonys' Elaine, Aine and Louise are experienced players who have been great servants to the Durrow club.
Dicksboro have scored 29 goals in their seven competitive matches this year – over four goals on average a game – and in all their games, they haven't tallied less than three goals.
If a similar outcome transpires this weekend, provincial glory will be theirs.
There is a feeling that this may be the only chance that the 'Boro girls might get at winning a Leinster title. Certainly for the likes of the older players Jenny Dillon, Anne-Marie Hoyne and team captain Emer Tynan, this is a golden opportunity.
Harps have the experience, but the 'Boro are younger and fresher. They may be significant factors. Also, there is a hunger and determination to win a Leinster title, and that may prove to be the difference.
Lachtain's in Leinster
St Lachtain's (Freshford) won five Leinster titles in succession from 2003-2007, and they will be attempting to get back into the Leinster senior final for the first time since 2008 when they face Wexford champions, Oulart the Ballagh in the semi-final this weekend.
The Northerners regained the Kilkenny title in emphatic fashion, destroying Windgap and Mullinavat in the semi-final and final respectively. There is plenty of experience still involved. All have been through the mill at Leinster and All-Ireland level. They will be quietly confident of reaching the final.
Oulart are the defending Leinster champions. They easily defeated Rathnure in the county final, 3-10- to 1-6. It was their third championship win in succession. They are also attempting to win their third Leinster title in succession.
However, All-Ireland glory has eluded them. In the 2009 All-Ireland semi-final against Cashel they were defeated by 1-14 to 2-7.
Last February they were undone at the semi-final stage by eventual All-Ireland champions Killimor (0-9 to 0-8). Oulart are a serious outfit. They have Wexford inter-county senior stars and All-Stars, the Leacy sisters and prolific forward Ursula Jacob in their ranks.
For Lachtain's, players like Gillian-Dillon-Maher, Imelda Kennedy, the Connery sisters Aine and Sinead, the Fizpatrick sisters Eileen, Aoife and Lydia – who haven't won a Leinster senior championship medal – as well as Anne Dalton and Deirdre Delaney are a formidable opposition for anyone. They defeated Oulart in a challenge six weeks ago, although the Wexford girls were without their inter-county stars.
A number of the Oulart girls have been involved non-stop with club and county over the last three years, but there is still a hunger, determination, eagerness and freshness about their play. Unquestionably it will be a tough ask, but the Freshford girls have made a habit of winning.

Let's try! I can't ask friends I had before and after my discovery for Lolita, so I have to write about my personal feelings now.
(1) coordinating
When I choose my clothes, I think about balancing out the colors for example. I think I didn't do this before that much. Also choosing accessory. Before, I just wore my necklace I wore everyday and the same watch and rings and now I have a s**tload of accessory for every color xD
(2) more friends
I don't want to say that I have many close friends but I found the best through Lolita. My most beloved people except from my BF and family are also from the Lolita community ♥ Lolita made me more outgoing and open for new acquaintances.
(3) spening money on clothes
Okay, this might be obvious. I spend muuuuch more money than before because Lolita can be an expensive hobby if you are a shopaholic :D
(4) travelling
I'm travelling much more, only for Lolita events. Netherlands, Austria or England for example! I love to meet Lolitas from other countries I only knew from the web before.
(5) spending time on the internet
I want to be up to date, see the new releases and announcements for events, read other blogs and so on. So I spend much time online for reading and researching all this stuff. Of course I want to see the newest sales :D
Maybe Lolita had negative effects on my personality, I don't know. I'm no secret writer and I'm not a fan of bashing people, online nor offline. So it can't be that bad :D
Did Lolita change you? In which way? I want to know, so please write it in the comment box ^_^

"We began the adoption process a couple of years ago. We attended a weekend in Saint John to give us more information about the process and what was and was not available to us. It was a great weekend to get away, together and meet other couples that are looking at going through the same or similar process.
When we got the next large portion of paperwork we did what we thought was going to be the 'hard' stuff first to get it out of the way. Then we were left with what felt like a mountain of questions about who we were and where we were adopting from.
In New Brunswick we have to have the country decided on, and enrolled in a program before we can start our home-study. After looking at all the programs that we were not eligible for because of age or years of marriage requirements we started to wonder if this was really what God had in store for us. But we knew that He has the ultimate plan that maybe we cannot even see it yet.
After finding out that a program we were about to pursue was closed we were advised that there are two new programs that have opened up to us in NB the Congo seemed to be the one that was really calling out to us.
We wanted to adopt 2 at the same time if possible. It was a longing that we really never expected. But over the years have learned to follow God's will for our lives as He knows best. It was kinda funny, on the way to church one Sunday morning as we were driving down our road, I looked at my husband and said "Hunny I think we are to adopt 2 at the same time." He glanced over at me and said "I agree" It's really neat when God shares something with both of us at the same time.
So here we are on a road to adoption with the plans of adopting two little ones between the ages of 0-3yrs. It's a road that we are excited to travel, and a road that we will have many God stories to tell.
When we found out we couldn't have any Biological children I said to my Doctor with tears streaming down my face that if we are to travel down this road to help someone else, or learn something that we need to share with someone else it's all worth it. It will be all worth it when we are able to hold our two little ones in our arms. Oh I can only imagine that day.
We are finishing up our home-study, and working to pay off debt so that we can get our dossier ready.
Believing in Provision is the name of our Blog, based off of Phil 4:19 "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus". I prayed and prayed over what to call it, I believe that name is very fitting. We are waiting on God to provide the provisions for our adoption. If it's saving money and paying off debt that's great but we still need the rest of the funds.
As we embark on a journey like no other would you consider supporting us financially, or through prayer? Together we can see what God can do.
Daniel and Krista Nickerson
