Changing through the past few years the situation in the world has set new chellenges before the national security and brand new missions for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. These missions can be divided into four general categories:
1. Encountering threats to the security or interests of the Russian Federation.
2. National economy and policy interests.
3. Peacetime military operations.
4. Military force employment.
Priority of missions is normally formulated in keeping with the current situation and should provide for an adequate response of the Armed Forces to threats the most dangeruos of which have a complicated nature.
Containment of threats is meant to be ensured when:
A menacing evolution of international relations or an armed invasion into the territory of the Russian Federation and (or) its allies are timely identified;
Strategic nuclear force, assets and management are well-equipped, mobilized, maintained and kept ready to impair the enemy as necessary under any circumstances;
Forces and branches manpower is well-trained, equipped and ready for either mobilization or reaction at peacetime to be able respond to enemy`s local attack;
The national mobilization readiness is provided at high level to enable the economy to shift to wartime plans on short notice;
Local defence is properly organized.
Economy and policy interests of the Russian Federation include:
Safety of Russian citizens living or visiting the zones of armed conflicts or those of political or other instability;
Security of business of organizations incorporated under the law of the Russian Federation or representative bodies thereof;
National interests in inner waters, continental shelf, exclusive economic zones of the Russian Federation and World Ocean;
The Armed Forces multiscale operability in the areas of the Russian Federation`s vital interests determined by the President;
Information attack countermeasures.
Peacetime military operations include:
Operations held jointly with allied powers as envisaged by international treaties or other interstate agreements with the Russian Federation acting as a party thereto;
Combatting international terrorism, political extremism or separatism, preventing and fighting subversive destruction and terrorist attacks;
Partial or full strategic deployment, the nuclear deterrence force maintenance and employment;
The UN or the CIS-approved peacekeeping or peace re-enforcement operations within coalitions under the auspices of international organisations with Russia as a member thereto or on a temporary basis;
Operations ensuring martial law or state of emergency to one or several constituent entities of the Russian Federation following decisions by the top state authorities;
The Russian Federation state frontier air and underwater protection;
Operations ensuring sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council;
Natural calamity prevention and disaster response.
The military force shall be used to defend the safety of the Russian Federation.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are maintained to fight the enemy in case of armed confrontations which can be classified into:
A type of political, ethnic, religious, territorial and other dispute resolution. It is a kind of an armed confrontation when neither of sides launches war activities while both sides normally seek their internal goals. An armed conflict may follow escalation of an armed incident, a border conflict, war actions or other local armed confrontation where armed military personnel takes part.
An armed conflict may be of an international (two or more states involved) or an internal (interstate confrontation) nature.
A war of limited political goals between two or more states. The warfare is normally conducted within the borders of opposing sides. The sides are primarily focused on their internal goals (territory, economy, politics or others).
A local war is normally waged by task forces deployed in the zone of confrontation with possible increment through force projection, re-direction and partial strategic deployment.
A war of two or more states (group of states) all located within a region when national armed forces or coalitions are employed. The warfare, thereat, is confined by one region, adjacent waters and airspace. All sides seek vital military and political goals. A regional war requires full deployment of armed forces and economy trasformation, strengthning potentials of all sides. In cases when sides of confrontation (or their allies) possess nuclear weapons the regional war can potentially evolve into a nuclear warfare.
A war of coalitions or the most powerful nations of the world. It may be started as a result of a smaller scale war escalation when more nations from different parts of the world join the confrontation. In a large-scale war the opposing sides seek uncompromising military and political goals. It requires the full mobilization of war reserves and high morale of troops.
The Russian Defence is planned with due regard to available reserves and capabilities of the national Armed Forces. To that end, the Armed Forces are required to be interoperable with other troops, must be able to counter a threat and defeat the enemy, be capable and active at both defence and offence under any circumstances of warfare or weapons used, including modern and future weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation must also be capable to:
In peacetime and emergency: maintain strategic deterrence potential and keep the hiqh level of combat readiness, employ the constant readiness forces to perform two combat missions of any scale simultaneously, bring about on its own or participate international peacekeeping operations;
Facing a warfare threat: ensure strategic deployment, empede escalation using strategic deterrence forces and constant readiness forces.
Waging a war: counter enemy`s airspace attack using forces available, provide the full-scale strategic deployment, defend the nation against two local enemies simultaneously.

Will Our New Gods Repent and Seek Consent?
Let me be dramatic for a moment to consider the sacrilegious idea that celebrities have replaced our gods, at least for those of us who are more heathenistic. We idolize them, envy them, feel as though we know them.
The curtain is being dropped in Hollywood; first with Harvey Weinstein, then a steady dribble to incriminate seemingly all our idols. It seems that consent matters less than we imagined in the world of riches and fame, at least to those who have been around long enough to gain that corrupting power. If you're a mortal attempting to break into that top tier, Heracles-style, you'll have to put up with the old gods demanding, shall we say, a fee.
But it seems that the second, quieter Good Ol' Boys Club is slowly being disbanded.
Ask: Building Consent Culture, a collection of explorative essays about consent and it's importance, stresses that consent is absolutely mandatory. Unfortunately, consent is a concept lost on some people (not all of them rich and powerful, by the way), including those who we've awarded deity status. Books like Ask are hugely important in such a world.
It isn't difficult to believe that a mortal the likes of Brock Turner is a rapist. After all, he's human. Humans are tempted by evil all the time. Turner's evildoing is apropos of humanity's innumerable failings. But why is it that the same moral corruption that afflicts our everyday man pervades those we've placed so much more faith in?
Have we been betrayed by our own religion, our own lifestyle? We excused Zeus forcing himself on mortal women. Do we excuse Kevin Spacey groping young, vulnerable men? A god's power comes from the support of his followers and how we react to the abuse of power determines whether we undermine our religion or fuel its power.
It's these conundrums that are the exact reason that we need books like Ask. It's right there in the title; Building Consent Culture. We are a society that is lacking consent culture and it has spread throughout Hollywood like a disease. Our job now is to look at books like Ask and take its message to heart.
As reviewer Claire Foster notes in her review of Ask, many essays critique power structures that allow sexual assault to continue without consequence. Turning a keen eye to this particular issue is how we dismantle Hollywood's so called "Harvey-Weinstein Problem." (Although, if we are honest with ourselves, the problem did not start with Weinstein, he is simply the most infamous right now.)
Have our gods toppled from their pedestals? Is the teachings of Ask yanking them from their divine status? After all, it condemns these actions. No, say those who are desperately attempting to shove them back up onto their stone platforms while more and more revelations make that increasingly difficult (though not impossible). Let's not perform backflips to keep our gods above us; let them be knocked to their proper placement below us as those who harmed others. Am I harsh or, gods-forbid, falsely superior in putting those who have contributed to the arts, to culture, to a new wave of thinking below myself and others? Let's not kid ourselves; doing that is just building consent culture.
Now let's say that we all agree that consent is mandatory. Let's say we're all disgusted and horrified by the revelations washing through Hollywood, and we're vowing to protect our men and women from predators and those who think "no" is foreplay, from those who think drunkenness is an open invitation.
I would bet money that not everyone included transgender people in that protection. Which, if you think about it, is overlooking an enormous issue; "30 percent to 50 percent of transgender people experience intimate partner violence at some point in their lifetime" according to No More, an organization designed to stop sexual assault.
Which brings us to a second important book; I Am, Therefore, We Are is focusing the limelight on trans women's difficulties, like the sexual violence many experience in their lifetimes.
Why, with the overwhelming evidence that trans women need the same if not more protection from the, let's call it, anti-consent movement, do we ignore them?
There are a few trans women among the ranks of our new gods; Laverne Cox and Caitlyn Jenner come to mind. Are they adequately protected? Do we have a modern-day Heracles (preferably without the Hera-driven madness and wife/children slaughtering) to come to their rescue? For that matter, do they need him, or do they need us, their admirers to put our foot down?
We don't look at these women that appear on our screens as victims, potential or past. But I Am, Therefore, We Are proves otherwise. Maybe those in the limelight are not in harm's way but our lack of consent culture has endangered others, like those that appear in I Am.
Perhaps we should exchange our rose-colored glasses for crystal clear ones and look at celebrities for what they are: human. From now on, we should build consent culture, change our ideas of who needs protection, victim, not assaulter.
Let us not apply divinity to these all too imperfect mortals. Let us not hold their up their work as our religious texts.
Let us not do the same to our books, Ask and I Am. They should not be our new bibles, though their messages are important. Let us simply read them and gain knowledge and hopefully build a better understanding of consent and protection of those who may be susceptible to harm from those who refuse to learn the ways of a changing world.

I have seen this topic discussed many times, and I would like to share my own opinions. The following message is going toward players for the Empire and the Rebellion.
Okay, I know from personal experience that many squads are fighting at each other instead of working with each other, and there are some squads that are just... empty with no players filling in the roster. There are squads whose players may have had their differences with the Officers and/or Leaders, or they may not be getting along with each other or cooperating with each other right now, and that is how these squads normally start and then fall apart. We shouldn't be fighting at each other. This game is supposed to be fun. We are the Rebellion/Empire. We should be working together to defeat the imperial/rebel forces and stop the Galactic Empire/Rebel Alliance. People delete the game half the time because of these issues, along many other issues in the app itself. I believe these issues are pointless and should not even be happening. If these issues continue to happen, it'll make this game lose players, then, in some cases, lose players' love or interest in the "Star Wars" franchise, and then, God forbid, eventually allowing Disney to cancel this once fantastic game.
I said I, personally, have experienced all of these problems at once. Here's an example; my experience. I, myself, came from a Level 50 Squad, called Jedi501st, whose ex-Leaders became power-hungry tyrants. They kept getting ticked off about the losses of our wars in the squad, then they both quit. In my opinion, there is definitely a fine line between enjoying a game and then being addicted to winning. Then me and my buddies, downmachine67 and his wife, angel, got sick of it and left that once brilliant squad have made our way by trying to create our own squad called 1stJediOrder. That didn't work so well. That is an example of squads that are empty with no players filling in the roster. This frustrated angel, along with our problems from being in the old squad, which made her quit and delete the game. down still plays, though, don't worry, and they both still love "Star Wars". Then he and I decided on joining this squad called RebelForceOne, and it has grown bigger and stronger this past summer since we joined, and yes, we've had our ups and downs (such as the main three players who started RebelForceOne taking a break and passing the squad onto us, but they do still play every once in a while, though. They have families and jobs, and I, myself, have school.),and losses from a couple of wars, but the primary reason for that is for players not coordinating and communicating with the Officers and Leaders, or not showing up at all, because they're not loyal or active players. And some players we have had in the past say they'll show up for war, and then they don't. That is not how a team works. A squad is supposed to communicate, coordinate with each other, and work together. And when you say you'll show up for something, you show up.
So, please, after all of this rambling from me, all I am asking is to stop the hate, fighting, arguing, bickering, etc., and help out new players. Help out your squadmates. If you have bases on both sides, then help each other out on both sides. Help out other squads who are struggling. Help out other squads that are empty earn some loyal and active players. This is the only way this game can still be successful, other than glitches and other problems. We can do this, guys. We just have to work together.
I have a few inspirational speeches I'd like to share with you all. The first is from Season 3, Episode 11 of "The Clone Wars", titled "Pursuit of Peace" (opening narration: "Peace shattered! Once-promising negotiations between the Republic and the Separatists are now in shambles following a droid suicide bombing on the capital city planet of Coruscant. As fear and anger prevail, the Senate overwhelmingly passes a bill to deregulate the banks, opening a gateway to additional troops, and an increase in fighting...."), in which Padmé Amidala speaks out against the senate to remind them who they are fighting the clone wars for; the people who are suffering. This is the real turning point of "The Clone Wars" and the Prequel Trilogy. The second speech is from Season 1, Episode 13 of "Star Wars Rebels", titled "Call to Action" (episode description: "The Ghost crew, having proved effective in their strikes against the Empire, win the attention of a powerful new enemy"). Ezra's broadcast was a message of rebellion delivered shortly after the raid on the communications tower in the year 4 BBY. Inspired by his parents, Mira and Ephraim, Ezra Bridger's broadcast encouraged bravery against the Galactic Empire, calling for the galaxy to resist its oppressive rule. Bridger's message of rebellion was transmitted from the hacked Imperial Communications Center on the planet Lothal, and it was sent across the galaxy until the Communications Center was destroyed by the order of Imperial Governor Wilhuff Tarkin. The third one is from Season 3, Episode 18 of "Star Wars Rebels" (plot description: "The Ghost crew must escort Senator Mon Mothma, now wanted by the Empire, to a meeting that can change the galaxy."), in which Senator Mon Mothma resigns from the Senate because she spoke out against the Emperor, decides to fight and stop the Galactic Empire, and delivers a very inspirational speech that was witnessed by many people across the galaxy, and this is the real turning point for "Rebels", because the Rebellion was basically established after that speech. The fourth, and finally, the last one is a speech that I just ever so recently created using some quotes from "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and "Star Wars Battlefront II". I think that this message and these four speeches all tie in together and wrap up very nicely. Thank you for reading this, have a great day, and God bless.
"Teckla Minnau. Teckla is one of my aides. Like so many of the people that we tell ourselves we're here to serve, Teckla lives in a district that rarely has electricity and running water as a result of the war. Her children can now only bathe every two weeks, and they have no light in which to read or study at night. The Republic has always funded these basic services, but now there are those who would divert the money to the war with no thought for what the people need to survive. If not for people like Teckla and her children, who are we fighting for? My people, your people, all of our people-this war is meant to save them from suffering, not increase it. I support our brave soldiers, whether they come from the clone factories or from any of the thousands of systems loyal to the Republic, but if we continue to impoverish our people, it is not on the battlefield where Dooku will defeat us, but in our own homes. Therefore, it is our duty and our responsibility to preserve the lives of those around us by defeating this bill."
—Padmé Amidala to the Galactic Senate
"We have been called criminals, but we are not. We are rebels, fighting for the people, fighting for you. I'm not that old, but I remember a time when things were better on Lothal. Maybe not great, but never like this. See what the Empire has done to your lives, your families, and your freedom? It's only gonna get worse…unless we stand up and fight back. It won't be easy. There will be loss and sacrifice. But we can't back down just because we're afraid. That's when we need to stand the tallest. That's what my parents taught me. That's what my new family helped me remember. Stand up together. Because that's when we're strongest—as one."
—Ezra Bridger to the people of Lothal
"This is Senator Mon Mothma. I have been called a traitor for speaking out against a corrupt Galactic Senate. A Senate manipulated by the sinister tactics of the Emperor. For too long I have watched the heavy hand of the Empire strangle our liberties, stifling our freedoms in the name of ensuring our safety. No longer! Despite Imperial threats, despite the Emperor himself, I have no fear as I take new action. For I am not alone. Beginning today we stand together as allies. I hereby resign from the Senate to fight for you, not from the distant hall of politics but from the front lines. We will not rest until we bring an end to the Empire, until we restore our Republic! Are you with me?"
―Mon Mothma to the various rebel cells
If the Empire has this kind of power, what chance do we have? What chance do we have? The question is "what choice." Run, hide, plead for mercy, scatter your forces. You give way to an enemy this evil with this much power, then you condemn the galaxy to an eternity of submission. The time to fight is now! Saw Gerrera used to say one fighter with a sharp stick and nothing left to lose can take the day. They've no idea we're coming. They've no reason to expect us. If we can make it to the ground, we'll take the next chance. And the next. On and on until we win... or the chances are spent. We fight so others can live. And if we die, it better be for the same reason. We're going to win this war, not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love. Contact the Resistance. Tell them this is just the beginning. The First Order is still coming. But we have hope. Rebellions are built on hope. People like you are the reason hope can prevail. And hope is the reason we are going to win.
May the Force be with you.

ExxonMobil Targets Journalists and Activists After Climate Change Investigation
It's not the first time Exxon has aggressively reacted to criticism.

After an investigation found that ExxonMobil has been funding climate-denying organizations—despite the findings of its own scientists on climate change—the world's fourth-largest oil company is now going after the journalists who revealed it.
Evidence that ExxonMobil has been deliberately leading a campaign of misinformation about climate change for decades began cropping up after InsideClimate News, a Pulitzer Prize-winning publication, led an investigation into the company.
Shortly after the investigation was released, Exxon released a statement denouncing the reports, saying that the they "wrongly suggest definitive conclusions were reached decades ago by company researchers."
Exxon also called InsideClimate News an "anti-oil and gas activist organization," and claimed that that site and the Los Angeles Times, which also reported on the documents, "ignored evidence provided by the company" about climate change research.
Ken Cohen, ExxonMobil's vice president of public and government affairs queued up a series of tweets and sub-tweets and proceeded to blast them out at InsideClimate, political figures, journalists, and anyone who'd listen.
In response to Cohen's tweets, David Sassoon, InsideClimate's publisher, said that it was "Odd that he has only one thing to say, over and over, like a broken record."
"We are a news organization with a track record of excellence," Sassoon told Motherboard. "Facing a possible Department of Justice investigation, it's not prudent for Exxon to say otherwise, and mislead its own shareholders. They might be wrongly persuaded to discount the seriousness of what we have uncovered."
When asked about the particular journalists and activists Cohen was targeting on Twitter, Alan Jeffers, a media relations manager for Exxon, said that the company "doesn't have any comment on their motives."
It's not the first time Exxon has aggressively reacted to criticism.
"Regarding what InsideClimate News 'uncovered,' many of the documents were publicly available at our archives," Jeffers told Motherboard. "Our point is that they have deliberately cherry-picked statements, took others out of context and ignored other readily available statements demonstrating that our researchers recognized the developing nature of climate science at the time which, mirrored global understanding."
It's not the first time Exxon has reacted to criticism this way. In 2013, the company threatened one of the reporters that worked on the recent story with arrest after she entered an area where an Exxon pipeline had burst.
Exxon's own research, the recent investigation reports, shows that there was once a time when Exxon was one of the world's greatest authorities on the emerging issue of climate change.
In the 1970s and 1980s, ExxonMobil was conducting cutting-edge research on what scientists called "the greenhouse effect," and even concluded, way back in the summer of 1979, that action should be taken to stop climate change's cataclysmic effects. A company memo on the subject read:
The potential problem is great and urgent. Too little is known at this time to recommend a major U.S. or worldwide change in energy type usage but it is very clear that immediate research is necessary.
Then, all of a sudden, Exxon's leadership on climate change came to an abrupt end.
The investigation found that not only has Exxon known about fossil fuel's impact on anthropogenic climate change since the 1980s, it was in fact fueling doubt about the veracity of climate change for years, despite the conclusions of its own scientists.
The same investigation found that the company had reportedly funneled at least $16 million dollars into lobbying and advertising campaigns to cast doubt on the scientific evidence about climate change, going so far as to declare that "Victory will be achieved when average citizens 'understand' (recognize) uncertainties in climate science."

New Build Sustainable Housing, Gainsborough
Client: Longhurst & Havelok Homes in partnership with West Lindsey District Council
Completed: 2012
Budget: £1.2m
Allan Joyce Architects designed the award winning Cross Street Eco Town development, a series of sustainable new build two and three bedroom dwellings, ranging from 63 to 102m2. These are the first Code for Sustainable Homes (CfSH) Level 5 dwellings built for L&H Homes, and were only two credits off achieving Level 6.
The site was originally a car park owned by West Lindsey District Council (WLDC), who were a key partner in the realisation of the project. WLDC made the land available for development, contributed Section 106 funds for affordable housing, and along with financial support from the Department of Communities and Local Government, made the project possible. We worked with closely with WLDC to design a streetscape that reflected their regeneration aims for the area.
The houses use a variety of sustainable design techniques to reduce the energy consumption for the tenants. Structurally Insulated Panels, or SIPS, were used as part of the fabric first approach, which reduces construction times and site wastage as they are prefabricated off site, and achieve outstanding air tightness results. This combined with a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system (MVHR) ensures good air quality internally, without wasting heat when a window is opened to ventilate a room. Sustainable technologies, including fifty photovoltaic panels incorporated into the roof, along with rainwater harvesting, and triple glazed doors and windows, reduce carbon emissions and running costs. Every detail down to ensuring that all of the light bulbs were energy efficient was taken into account.
The development is special, as it is only one of eight projects to have secured two phases of funding to monitor in-use performance. The energy consumption results show that the houses are working well for the residents, who are seeing much lower household bills. The results gathered from the monitoring will go on to inform how to build better, more efficient buildings for tenants in the future.
The project also included the acquisition and sustainable refurbishment of an adjacent Victorian house, previously used as offices by WLDC, to provide two flats and a three storey family home. All walls were highly insulated to reduce heat loss, which achieved a better U-Value than current requirements for new properties. Windows and doors were replaced with new double glazed timber, in keeping with the original design of the building. Solar water heating has been fitted to the three storey home to further reduce the running costs for tenants.

Deals worth of billions of dollars have been struck between China and the United Kingdom. China and the UK reached 59 deals, including 28 in business, worth 60 billion US dollars.
Making global headlines is the Hinkley Point nuclear plant.
China's state-owned General Nuclear Corporation will take a one-third stake in the planned 28 billion-dollar plant.
They also agreed on construction of two other nuclear power stations, with one installed with the Chinese reactor called Hualong One.
High-speed rail is also a major area for investment. Britain opened the bidding for construction of its new high-speed rail links worth 18 billion dollars last month during Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's visit to China.
China's Central Bank has issued its first offshore Renminbi bond in London.
It's worth 5 billion yuan, or 800 million US dollars, with an interest rate of 3.1 percent, and falls due in 2016.
It's the first time a yuan denominated bond has been issued outside China, effectively a gesture to fortify London's role as a non-Asian yuan trading centre.
Other highlights include multiple infrastructure deals struck between the two countries. China already holds stakes in British infastructure, including two airports and North Sea oil projects.
And on Wedsnesday, the two countries signed a 500 million US dollar deal, encompassing film, television, music and advanced engineering.
They also signed deals on education, science research, and football training programs for Chinese schools. And a two-year multiple-entry UK visa for Chinese tourists will start next year.
Leaders are hoping to take that cooperation even further.

I feel like killing myself
Dear Pastor,
I am writing to you because I need help. I am lost, hopeless and all the other bad things you can think of.
I don't really have a lot of friends because of what I have seen friends do to my family.
Somehow, they still talk to these people like nothing ever happened. I don't trust them to tell them anything.
I don't know what a mother's love feels like nor a father's love. They show other people love. Some days I feel like ending my life because I know I don't deserve any of what they are doing to me.
I really admire how you are able to help people and touch other people's lives. I love your honesty. You just tell it like it is. I would love to talk to you one of these days. I am looking forward to it
Dear Hopeless,
I know your case is not hopeless. You did not give your age, but I guess that you are between 17 and 19 and struggling to find yourself. Similar to other of young people, you are experiencing bouts of depression. When things don't go right or go your way, you think nobody loves you, including your parents.
I have a message for you. You are not alone. What I want you to begin to do is love yourself. Think of yourself as number one. Nobody is better than you. Those who are criticising you are not better than you.
Perhaps they might be jealous of you. You see them as enemies, but they should not be seen in that manner. You should consider them as people who do not know better.
What I am trying to tell you is that you should change your attitude to life, in general. As I said earlier, consider yourself as number one. You are God's creation and God will bring you through every trial.
Perhaps your parents do not hug nor say they love you, but don't hold that against them. Their parents perhaps didn't tell them either, but that doesn't mean their parents did not love them that they do not love you. You now know, that when you have your own children, you should hug them and tell that you love them every day.

I started acquiring artworks for myself, when I was a student in NCAD and continued the habit after graduation, amassing quite a number of works in the process. I also ran out of wall space. I had long thought that it would be possible for an organization (with plenty of unadorned walls to fill), to build a good and interesting collection, without a large financial outlay, by choosing work carefully over a length of time, rather than all at once, from artists at the start of their careers.
In 1995, I heard that the new CEO of Guardian Insurance (now AXA) was interested in buying some pieces for the company. I approached him with my idea, which he liked. We established a few basic guidelines:
The principal ethos of the collection would be the encouragement of young artists in a practical way, by purchasing work early on in their careers, thus giving them a sale when it really mattered and boosting their self-confidence.
The work would mostly be sourced from college degree shows, first exhibitions and directly from the artist.
The first purchases for AXA, in 1995, were five paintings from students of the National College of Art and Design, at their Degree show. Over the years I added work in a variety of mediums and from a variety of different colleges, studios and galleries. As well as more traditional paintings, prints and drawings, there are videos, stone, slate and wood carvings, mixed media, and stitched pieces. For 12 years AXA sponsored a Drawing Prize at the RHA's Annual Exhibition; this helped to raise the profile of drawing as a medium in its own right, rather than as a study for a painting and the prize winning drawings were added to the collection.
Some of the artists whose work was acquired in the early days, such as James Hanley, Geraldine O'Neill, Remco de Fouw and Mark O'Kelly, found success rapidly. Others, whose work was acquired later, such as Taffina Flood, Patricia Burns, Bea Mc Mahon, Marcel Vidal and Sonia Shiels are now well established and are regular exhibiters in group and solo shows.
The 470 plus works in the AXA collection were purchased over a period of 21 years and represent a good cross section of the shifts and changes in the Irish art world during that time. All the work was bought from artists living, studying or exhibiting in Ireland.
Great credit is due to Gerard Healy, John O'Neill and Paul Moloney of AXA, who made the whole thing happen.

I consider, schooling is a kind of things which are being taken and adopted with most of the improper ideas. The essence of training and being educated is being nearly vanished from the hearts of the academics and from the minds of the scholars. The concept has been taken incorrect, fallacious enough to dilute the thoughts of students and blend it with the material things like 'solely good grades' (with no logic at all & even by the way cheating and copying) or the dreams of that prime-paying job even when you must do the mistaken things (like tax evasion and many others). If he reveals combat, the soldiers fireplace and he is a lifeless man; if he offers in, he degrades himself and he's no longer a man at all; shame and concern will break up up his character and make his inmost self fall to items. The business is performed with flying colors and by specialists: the 'psychological companies' weren't established yesterday; nor was brain-washing.
I really heard a republican level out something I've been saying for some time. Health care costs are ridiculous. He identified that back within the fifties and sixties over forty% of health care was paid out of pocket. An average office visit today, for a median 8 minute appointment, is $200; not counting lab work, and many others.. He claimed if health care prices were fairly set we wouldn't be having most of this hooplah we're experiencing. The problem stays that we, as residents, can not control these costs. The government can not, or won't, management those costs.

Czech Republic Plans To Combat Terrorism By Arming Its CitizensPosted: July 3, 2017 Filed under: Crime & Corruption, Global, Guns and Gadgets, Law & Justice, Mediasphere, Politics, Self Defense | Tags: Alphabet Inc., Anti-competitive practices, Comparison shopping website, Competition law, Czech Republic, European Commission, European Parliament, European Union, Google, Margrethe Vestager Leave a comment
Czech Republic Votes To Put Gun Rights In Constitution.
'In reaction to the recent increase of security threats'
Jacob Bojesson The lower house of the Czech parliament voted to put gun owners' rights in the constitution Wednesday, arguing it protects citizens from Islamist terrorists.
The European Commission passed stricter gun laws in December in response to a growing terror threat. The Czech Republic was one of three countries to oppose the changes, and it is now about to make it legal for citizens to use firearms to protect the security of the country.
"This constitutional bill is in reaction to the recent increase of security threats, especially the danger of violent acts such as isolated terrorist attacks … active attackers or other violent hybrid threats," a draft of the bill reads.
Critics argue the changes will never take effect as European Union directives overrule the proposed legislation.
"Putting it in the constitution is therefore nonsense," Jan Farský, the deputy mayor of Chovanec, told Hospodarske Noviny. Read the rest of this entry »
European Ruling against Apple and Ireland Vindicates BrexitPosted: August 30, 2016 Filed under: Economics, Global, Law & Justice, Think Tank | Tags: Apple Inc, Associated Press, Brussels, Competition law, Corporate tax, European Commission, European Union, Ireland, Margrethe Vestager, Tax 1 Comment
The European Union has shown itself to be a compulsory tax cartel.
Dan Sanchez writes: Taxation is bad enough: two consenting parties arrange a mutually-beneficial exchange, and an interloping third party demands a cut.
What compounded injustice then for a fourth party to enter the scene: a super-state/super-bandit who insists that the shakedown wasn't big enough. No, the victim must hand over more to the lesser thief, even against the recipient's will and in spite of his protest!
Thou Shalt Not… Not Steal
Ireland must join the rest of the Union in bleeding the private sector dry.
That is what happened today when the European Commission slapped Apple Inc. with a $14.5 billion bill for back taxes, ruling that Ireland had violated European Union rules by taxing the tech company at too low a rate.
[Read the full story here, at Foundation for Economic Education]
But the Irish government doesn't want the money! It had promised the low rates decades ago to entice Apple to set up and keep shop in Ireland, bringing the struggling country desperately needed jobs and economic growth. Irish officials are worried that if they renege on that deal, they will risk driving off the geese that lay the golden eggs: Apple, and other businesses as well.
But no, insists the European super-state: sustainably prudent parasitism is not an option. The Irish government must join the rest of the Union in recklessly bleeding its private sector hosts dry until the whole system collapses under its own dead weight. Read the rest of this entry »
Apple Stands Up to The Feds: Formally Appeals eBooks Antitrust Ruling, Asks for Monitor to be SuspendedPosted: February 26, 2014 Filed under: Law & Justice, U.S. News | Tags: Appeal, Apple, Competition law, Denise Cote, E-book, IBooks, United States Department of Justice Leave a comment
Apple has formally appealed the Department of Justice's ebooks antitrust case, via the Associated Press. Previously, Apple has only officially complained about the power of the appointed monitor — now they are asking for the entire case to be re-evaluated.
Apple said that the ruling is a "radical departure" from modern antitrust law.
Apple claims it was ignorant of any inter-publisher price fixing and that Apple setup iBooks through legal arrangements without knowledge of any behind-the-scenes collusion.
Judge appoints external monitor to ensure Apple complies with antitrust lawsPosted: October 17, 2013 Filed under: Law & Justice, Science & Technology | Tags: Apple, CNET, Competition law, Denise Cote, Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, Michael R. Bromwich, United States Attorney, United States Department of Justice Leave a comment
Yoni Heisler reports: This past July, US District Judge Denise Cotefound Apple guilty of colluding with book publishers in an effort to raise the price of e-books across the industry. Following that, the Department of Justice proposed a wide array of remedies to ensure that Apple wouldn't run afoul of antitrust laws in the future.
One of the proposed remedies called for the court to appoint an external monitor tasked with keeping an eye on Apple as to ensure that they comply with antitrust laws going forward. On Wednesday, Judge Cote appointed former Assistant US Attorney Michael Bromwich as that external monitor.
Bromwich was one of two names picked by the Justice Department as well as plaintiff states as part of last month's injunction ruling. As monitor, he'll work from inside Apple to maintain the company's compliance with US antitrust laws.
Bromwich filled a similar, independent monitor role within the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia a little more than a decade ago, and more recently served as part of US oversight on the oil industry.
Apple previously argued that an external monitor was wholly unnecessary, but ultimately failed to persuade Cote.
Bromwich will keep an eye on Apple's antitrust compliance for two years. Note that the two-year period is less than the five-year period initially proposed by the DOJ.
Lastly, Apple earlier this month filed a motion indicating that it plans to appeal Cote's ruling. Formal arguments on the matter, however, won't be submitted until early 2014.

Industry Leaders and Alumni Share Insight at Career Night
Bob Corcoran '94, vice president of quality at Merrimack Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, advises students during the networking portion of the Life Science Career Night at Olsen Hall.
By Ed Brennen
Empirical evidence is essential in science. And as 75 students discovered at the recent Life Science Career Night and Networking Session at Olsen Hall, empirical evidence is also essential in finding a rewarding job.
"You're going to find more value in ruling things out," said panelist and alum Dr. Chris Ianelli '89, founder and CEO of iSpecimen Inc., a supplier of clinical materials to research industries. "You're going to have to test and just keep readjusting. You'll realize very quickly if you don't like doing something. Move on from that and find something you do like. You're going to have to do it empirically."
Co-sponsored by the
Department of Biological Sciences
and the
Career Services and Cooperative Education Center
, the event provided students with an opportunity to hear from a dozen industry leaders — many of them alumni — from fields including pharmaceuticals, health care, biomedical sciences and biotechnology.
Following a panel discussion that included questions about everything from desired technical and interpersonal skills to interview techniques and résumé writing, students broke out into smaller networking sessions where they could meet one-on-one with the 13 invited experts.
"This is a good way to start building a foundation of what to expect for future interviews," said junior Tong Li, a biology major with a bioinformatics option. "It's helpful to try and understand what it's like to go into their professional fields."
Michael O'Leary, a first-year master's student in biological sciences, saw the event as a way to help navigate an upcoming career change.
"Right now I'm in food quality assurance and I do a lot of basic chemistry, but I want to try to get into more advanced science in pharmaceuticals," O'Leary said. "So I'm really trying to focus on getting some tips, network with people, and hopefully that will be the best thing for my career."
One year after attending the event as a College of Sciences senior about to hit the job market, Rachel Paquette '14 was back, this time as a panelist speaking about her research associate work at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
"I think having recent alumni on the panel speaks to you directly because they just graduated last year and you're going through the same process they just went through," said Paquette, who encouraged students to seize internship and co-op opportunities as a means of exploring different fields.
Paquette added that while some may believe this generation of college graduates just "assumes that we're going to get a job and assumes that we're going to be good at it," that doesn't hold true from her experience. "UMass Lowell tends to not really be like that," she said. "You learn to really work for what you want, and when you get there to work even harder to continue. I think that type of work ethic suits UMass Lowell."
Another recent alum, Heather Merhi '13, agreed. After earning her degree in biology with a concentration in ecology, Merhi landed a job as an energy analyst for Woodard & Curran, an Andover-based environmental engineering consulting firm that works with the university on climate and sustainability initiatives.
"They know how hard-working and driven UMass Lowell students are," said Merhi, who added that her career path was proof that a biology degree can provide a wealth of professional options. "Just having the skills and that kind of major will make you very marketable no matter what kind of field you try to enter."
Bob Corcoran '94, vice president of quality at Merrimack Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, was making his second panelist appearance. With his company of 300 continuing to grow, he said recruiting was on his agenda.
"It's nice to get back here," said Corcoran, who earned his master's in biological sciences from the College of Sciences. "The students are certainly well trained and the program is excellent. I know that for a fact because I came through it. It certainly prepares the students for the industry."
Other panelists included Maria Giovino-Doherty '89, quality systems manager at Provia Laboratories; Mike Morin '76, chief security officer at Onkaido; Andrew Sanginario '14, researcher at Pfizer Corp.; Lisa Thurston '96, '97, director of business development, sales and marketing at Base Pair Biotechnologies; and Martin Sanders, head of safety pharmacology at Vertex Pharmaceuticals.
Special guests included Brian Hagopian from the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering; Mary Ann Picard, associate director of the Massachusetts Medical Device Development Center; Theresa Singleton, principal scientific writer at Singleton Science; and Robert Swain, clinical research consultant.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby (or babies!)
During the period from birth until two years of age your baby will learn and develop at an incredible rate. Your baby will start this journey as an entirely dependent being and gradually develop into a little person with personality. This section provides brief advice on some of the key stages you will go through with your baby. Further advice can be sought from your Health Visiting Team.
What to expect from the Health Visiting service in the first two years
New birth visit
The health visitor will come to see you at home between 10 and 14 days after the birth of your baby. This will give you the opportunity to discuss your labour, birth and experiences so far as a parent. Your Health Visitor will be able to support you with advice on feeding and caring for your baby, as well as being able to sign post you to local support services for the early weeks of parenthood.
Postnatal visit
Your Health Visitor will come and see you again for your post natal review when your baby is about 6 to 8 weeks of age. At this visit you will be able to share your experiences of parenting and any questions you might have about your baby's health or development. Your Health Visitor will ask you about how you are feeling and whether you are experiencing any anxiety or low mood.
One year review
This health review is provided as part of the Healthy Child programme. The appointment is not a "test" but an opportunity to discuss your child's achievements as well as any areas where your child may not be developing as expected.
You will receive an Ages and Stages questionnaire with your appointment letter from your Health Visitor. Before your appointment have fun with your child trying the activities and make a note of what you see and anything that you would like to discuss at the appointment. Please complete as much as you are able. Do not worry if your child is unable to complete all the activities, we will go through this with you at your appointment.
Please bring your child's Personal Child's Health Record Book (Red Book) with you.
We are here to help if you are worried about your child's health or development at any age before they start school. Please contact your local health visiting team for advice and support.
Child Health Advice Clinics are held regularly in your area, no appointment is necessary. Many parents find the clinic an easy opportunity to talk to a member of the health visiting team about the things that are worrying them about their child's health or development. You can also have your child's growth reviewed and many clinics have a "self-weigh" facility if you just want to pop in and have no other concerns. Find details of your local child health advice clinic.
Health Visitor Advice Line: A member of your health visiting team is available Monday to Friday 9-5 for telephone enquiries/ advice.
We know that asking for help is not always easy, however mothers in Hampshire have told us: "That initial call is the hardest step to take... I felt so much better"

Matisse Christmas Piece set for Tate Modern Appearance
Date Posted: 18/12/13
Tate have chosen the run-up to Christmas to highlight the fact that Nuit de Noel - a stained glass window designed by Henri Matisse - along with the paper maquette he created for it, are set to be put on display alongside each other next year at the Tate Modern.
When Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs kicks off in April 2014, it will be the first time these have been shown in an exhibition in the UK.
The show, which will be in place at the gallery until September, before heading to New York City for a stint at the Museum of Modern Art, focuses on late works by the famed French artist.
Organisers say that, given how delicate the cut out paper works involved in the show are, they probably won't be shown together in the same way ever again.
Tate reports that Nuit de Noel came out of a Life magazine commission in the early 1950s. Matisse created a paper-based maquette, and this later went to a stained glass craftsman called Paul Bony, with the final 11 ft high window then being created.
Stays at London hotels could give you lots of time to see the Tate Modern and the city's other brilliant galleries.

Although this fabulous cocktail doesn't actually include real 24 karat gold, you could, if you wanted to, add some of the edible variety (that you can get at craft stores or online) to make this punch cocktail all the more glittery.
24k Gold Punch is one of those feel-good cocktails that you can whip up for a group gathering in minutes. It's easy to make and easy on the wallet as the ingredients are either things you already have on hand or can pick up for cheap at the grocery store.
Don't forget about your upcoming wedding or special event! Serving spiked punch is a clever, tasty way to insert a little alcohol to the party without breaking the bank!

I'm there for 'puppy pads' (though they're hardly puppies any more), and something else I was trying not to forget then and can't remember now…
So when I stepped into the only open register lane, I was not intending to catch the eye of a cute, new, coed register employee. I mean, this is the grocery store of yuppies, after all. The female employees are always, if nothing else, attractively kempt. We just quickly looked each other in the eyes and smiled, and she went back to the customer at hand.
I would have thought not much of it, except she was rather more business-like with this young man who was much closer to her age and 'hip' looking, as far as I knew. When I stepped up we both smiled again, and her eyes widened and lit up a bit.
Now stay with me, because I am not one to go around thinking of my awesomeness. Hardly. And I am old enough now to realize that these kinds of things often have far more going on in them than physical appearances, thankfully. This was certainly one of those cases. For I am certain she was responding to me radiating a certain energy in her own interpretive way, which really means she was attracted to my wife. ("That's hot!")
So let's back up. I come home from a usual ten hour workday to the little man showered and happily noodling on the computer, while Lisa is in the kitchen finishing up dinner. Timed so that it is warm and ready very soon after I come in. Life is good. No, wait. Life just got even better because she is in the gray tank-top that is just……yeah.
So we start bantering and flirting. Some clever nonsense that is just a prop for the real action that takes place unspoken. The chemistry and electricity that builds up and communicates across the non-void. Akin to the shiny metals of our periodic table, positive ions interlocked in a sea of flowing, shared electrons, we exist as shiny, charged 'points' in an ocean of…something.
You know something of what I'm talking about. Ever felt like someone is staring at you? Funny how you often turn your head to the exact location of the source. Ever play the game from the other end in a crowd of strangers? Focus on a person and think "look at me." There are things to be learned in that practice. There is more going on here than meets the eye.
Lisa and I… We eat, we flirt, we radiate. So when I head back out into the night in chivalrous fashion (which should help me end the night in a very happy fashion), I am glowing with the effects and affects of love, passion, giddiness, gratitude, and sexual tension. Weeeee!
Buzzing about in some big, bright, boring, suburban grocery store probably made me an easy target for an idle and perceptive young lady. But let me assure you I did what I usually do, pulling the energy back when it becomes personally palpable instead of trying to push karma with needless immediate opportunism. And these days, I consciously shut it down far more out of maturity than social anxiety. Still, once business had been transacted and while we said our polite social valedictions, we looked each other in the eyes again and slightly sparked the always present, tentacled flow of energy between us.
As I walked out to the car, I self-consciously smiled. "Ha! That was fun…and interesting…" I think I actually mumbled aloud. But the smile was indeed sheepish, as I know better than to start immediately writing in-house press. Even if I often forget that I am actually in my late 40s, instead of the late 30s mindset I seem to still default to. I laughed again when I saw my reflection in the rear-view mirror of the car. No, I certainly looked like someone whose face and clothes reflected a long day at work, and the scattered gray portions of my two-week-unshaven face reflected my real age, for sure.
I contemplated the larger context of all this as I drove. I opened back up and swam in the greater ocean of energy and microcosmic juices. Weeee! I smiled and stepped on the gas, getting my ass back into an intimate orbital position with my local source as soon as possible…

2 Stocks With Heavy Option Buying
09/13/2012 6:00 am EST
Focus: OPTIONS
Andrea Kramer and Karee Venema of Schaeffer's Trading Floor Blog highlight two companies that have recently attracted the attention of call buyers.
Two stocks have recently captured the attention of option traders.
First, call traders have converged on Legg Mason (LM) this week, with option bulls gambling on an extended uptrend for the stock. In afternoon trading on Tuesday alone, LM had seen more than 2,500 calls cross the tape—about 17 times its average intraday call volume, and more than double the number of LM puts exchanged.
On the collective radar is the January 2013 25 strike call, which accounted for more than 1,700 of the contracts traded. Ninety-nine percent of the LEAPS changed hands at the ask price, and volume exceeded open interest at the strike—home to just 175 contracts—pointing to "buy-to-open" activity.
By purchasing the calls to open, the traders are expecting LM to continue its ascent over the next few months. Specifically, the volume-weighted average price of the calls is $2.65, meaning the buyers will profit if LM scales the $27.65 level (strike plus premium paid) by January options expiration.
Here is a recent daily chart:
Today's appetite for calls runs counter to the growing trend seen on the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and Nasdaq OMX PHLX (PHLX). In fact, the stock's ten-day put-call volume ratio on the exchanges sits at 0.91—in the 70th percentile of its annual range. In other words, option buyers have scooped up LM puts over calls at a faster-than-usual clip during the past couple of weeks.
However, that skepticism isn't limited to the options pits. Short interest soared 23% during the past month, and now accounts for 6.2% of LM's total available float. At the stock's average daily trading volume, it would take nearly a week to repurchase all of these pessimistic positions. Likewise, just five of the 12 analysts following LM deem it worthy of a "buy" or better rating.
Traders and investors appear to be celebrating a management shake-up at the firm, which said Chief Executive and Chairman Mark R. Fetting will step down on October 1. Lead independent director W. Allen Reed will step into the role of non-executive chairman, while Joseph A. Sullivan, head of global distribution, will become interim chief executive.
Next: McDonald's|pagebreak|
Second, McDonald's Corp (MCD) option trading has jumped in volume.
Despite a less-than-enthusiastic 9% year-to-date deficit, options players have shown a distinct preference for calls over puts on MCD. Per data from the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and Nasdaq OMX PHLX (PHLX), traders have bought to open 226 calls for every 100 puts in the last 20 sessions.
The trend toward calls is being continued in today's trading. Approximately 20,000 calls have changed hands, representing more than twice the average daily volume for call options. As a point of comparison, around 11,000 puts have changed hands.\
Short-term speculators have set their sights on the October 95 strike call, which has seen more than 3,800 contracts traded. With volume outstripping open interest, and around three-quarters of these contracts going off at the ask price, we can safely assume that new bullish positions are being initiated here.
By buying to open the calls for a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $0.51, these speculators are expecting MCD to muscle its way above $95.51 (the strike plus the premium paid) by October expiration. This represents a 4.4% jump from its current perch. However, should MCD fail to cross this mark, the most the traders stand to lose is $0.51 per contract.
Here is a recent daily chart:
It seems speculators have been tending toward near-term calls for some time, as evidenced by the stock's declining Schaeffer's put-call open interest ratio (SOIR).
Since August 20, MCD's SOIR has fallen to 0.84 from 0.92, as call open interest among options expiring in the next three months has increased almost 30%. What's more, this current ratio ranks in the 26th percentile of its annual range, indicating short-term traders are more call-heavy than usual toward the equity.
Even more telling, the stock currently sports a front-month gamma-weighted SOIR of 0.55, showing that near-the-money call open interest almost doubles put open interest among options expiring over the next two weeks. Specifically, a heavy accumulation of call open interest currently resides at the overhead September 92.50 strike. MCD could meet options-related resistance as the nearly 15,300 contracts that rest here begin to unwind.
Additionally, the stock could encounter another overhead ceiling in the near term, this one of the technical variety. Although this morning's well-received same-store sales for August pushed MCD to $92.10—its highest intraday mark since July 20—the equity has pared its earlier gains.
The security is now facing off with its 120-day moving average—a trendline which has contained all daily closes since April 12.

On Oxygen's "I'm Having Their Baby" (Wed. at 10:00 p.m.), each week we meet a new mom faced with a terrible choice — place the baby she's carrying in the hopes he or she could have a better life, or try to raise the child with few resources and usually little support. That these women also face the condemnation of loved ones is just a given.
In this HitFix exclusive clip, Cathleen asks her mother to be with her when she has to hand off her son the the adoption professional. It's a request her mother doesn't take lightly, and the conversation that ensues isn't a pretty one. The milkshakes don't even help.
Will you be watching "I'm Having Their Baby"?

There's a lot I could say about me, who I am, what I've been through, but primarily, you really only care what I stand for. I stand for individuality, making games and freedom of speech. As for what I love doing? Making games, drawing art, writing, designing, creative activities of other sorts. I'm a creator, I create things. I would stand against those who would seek to stifle creativity, and support those who stand with it. It is our unique ability on this Earth as Humans to create new ideas. We shouldn't squander that!

Poggenpohl kitchens are so modern, so 'of the moment', that it comes as somewhat of a shock to discover that the company dates back to 1892.
December 19th, 2008
Perhaps less surprising is the fact that its founder, Friedemir Poggenpohl, was a German master cabinetmaker with a simple mission 'to improve the kitchen' – an aim that is as apparent in the company's products today as it wasover 110 years ago.
Just when you think the kitchen can't possibly be improved upon, or progressed, that is precisely what Poggenpohl does. In 1928, Poggenpohl introduced the Reform Kitchen with its connecting units and integrated storage space.
Then, in 1950, the Form 1000 was introduced. It was the first modern fitted kitchen, as we now know them. Poggenpohl worked closely with appliance manufacturers of the day to integrate its wall and base units with the early versions of must-have laboursaving devices for modern homeowners.
In 2005, PLUSMODO illustrated how Poggenpohl still dominates the kitchen industry through revolutionary design and product development. The result of a year-long collaboration with worldrenowned Spanish furniture designer Jorge Pensi, PLUSMODO meets his desire to create 'a poetic dialogue between display and concealment' by marrying open and closed functional areas.
Poggenpohl and Pensi believe that many of today's modern kitchen gadgets,china, glassware, saucepans and utensils, while still functional everyday objects, are themselves works of art and deserve to be seen in all their glory. Lighting has been used to subtly highlight design elements and display areas, while also providing optimal illumination for food preparation areas.
Clearly, PLUSMODO has struck a chord, receiving four awards, including theGood Design Award from the ChicagoAthenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, an iF product design award and a Red Dot design award.
"Poggenpohl has been at the forefront of kitchen design since the 19th century, ensuring the highest standards of fittings and construction, pioneering the use of new materials and technologies, and continually testing the boundaries of design to improve the kitchen."
