text:
The following Terms and Conditions of Service apply to all products and services provided by The Design Assassin.
All work is carried out by The Design Assassin on the understanding that the client has read and agreed to The Design Assassin's terms and conditions.
Copyright is retained by The Design Assassin on all design work including words, pictures, ideas, visuals and illustrations unless specifically released in writing and after all costs have been settled.
If a choice of designs or a number of concepts are presented, only one solution is deemed to be given by The Design Assassin as fulfilling the contract. All other designs and concepts remain the property of The Design Assassin, unless agreed in writing that this arrangement is otherwise.
Project Acceptance
Project acceptance shall occur upon clearance from the client, via written form – such as email or letter. For those projects involving quotations and estimates, The Design Assassin would provide the customer with a written estimate or quotation. The Terms and Conditions of which can be read on The Design Assassin's website. *Please note. Not all projects involve quotes and estimations. Given the nature of the jobs requested and undertaken, the bulk of the work I do involves pay by the hour at a set rate. These rates will be indicated prior to commencement of work.
A copy of the project brief or written estimate and/or quotation (where applicable) is to be signed and dated by the customer to indicate acceptance and should be returned to The Design Assassin. Alternatively, the client may send an official order in reply to the estimate or quotation which binds the client to accept The Design Assassin's terms and conditions. All green-lighted projects shall be subjected to the signing of a simple agreement or contract before work can begin. After some less than stellar experiences, this is to protect both parties and avoid confusion. No work on a project will commence until such documentation has been received by The Design Assassin.
Design Charges
Charges for design services to be provided by The Design Assassin, will be set out in the project brief order or the written estimate / quotation (if applicable) that is provided to the customer. At the time of the customer's signed acceptance of this estimate or quotation, indicating acceptance of the Terms & Conditions, a non-refundable deposit of either: a) a nominated amount for pay-by-the-hour assignments or b) 30-50% of the quoted fee will become immediately due. Work on the project will not commence until this amount has been received and cleared by The Design Assassin.
New clients are subject to the 50% down payment fee, whereas existing clients may have that fee reduced. For projects involving pay by the hour (as is most common) customers will be advised of the hourly rate and an agreed-upon down payment fee designated. Once again, work on the projects will not commence until the design assassin has received this amount.
Charges for Other Services
Charges for any additional services over and above the estimated design, such as sub-hires, software, outsourced needs, will become fully payable (100% of the quoted amount for such components) at the time of estimate or quotation acceptance.
Fixed costs shall be payable prior to commencement of the project when known. Variable/unknown cost (such as sub hires, outsourced services, hosting, domain registration and printing costs), should be payable as they occur or become known to The Design Assassin.
The Design Assassin realises that sometimes there are jobs that need urgent completion. In these instances we offer a Priority Service, which can be provided for an extra nominal fee. After hours, weekend and overnight work may also attract an extra surcharge.
The customer will be provided with an Approval Form/Email and Invoice prior to final publication. At this time the remainder of the amount due will become payable and the customer will also be required to sign and return the Approval Form/Email to The Design Assassin. Accounts which remain outstanding for 30 days after the date of invoice, will incur an extra charge of 10% per month of the outstanding amount, unless otherwise arranged and agreed to in writing, before that time elapses.
Any invoice or account more than 90 days outstanding, with no prior arrangement or contact will attract a 20% fee on the total outstanding amount.
Payments may be made by cash, bank cheque, or direct deposit (preferred method). For overseas customers International Money Order, International Bank Wire or previously agreed electronic funds transfer is acceptable. Contact The Design Assassin from more information, should you have any queries. All fees and charges associated with other payment options will be at the payee's expense.
Publication and/or release of work done by The Design Assassin on behalf of the client, may not take place before cleared funds have been received. This includes files, media, graphics, or going live with a website.
Returned cheques will incur an additional fee of $50 per returned cheque. The Design Assassin reserves the right to consider an account to be in default in the event of a returned cheque.
An account shall be considered default if it remains unpaid for 30 days from the date of invoice, or following a returned cheque*. The Design Assassin shall be considered entitled to remove The Design Assassin and/or the customer's material from any and all computer systems, until the amount due has been fully paid. This includes any and all unpaid monies due for services, including, but not limited to, hosting, domain registration, search engine submission, design and maintenance, sub-contractors, printers, photographers and libraries.
Removal of such materials does not relieve the customer of it's obligation to pay the due amount. Customers whose accounts become default agree to pay The Design Assassin reasonable legal expenses and third party collection agency fees in the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions.
*unless prior arrangements have been made and agreed to in writing by The Design Assassin, the client is responsible for contact and advanced communication to make such arrangements.
Copyrights and Trademarks
By supplying text, images and other data to The Design Assassin for inclusion in the customer's print material, website or other medium, the customer declares that it holds the appropriate copyright and/or trademark permissions. The ownership of such materials will remain with the customer, or rightful copyright or trademark owner.
Any artwork, images, or text supplied and/or designed by The Design Assassin on behalf of the customer, will remain the property of The Design Assassin and/or its suppliers.
The customer may request in writing from The Design Assassin, the necessary permission to use materials (for which The Design Assassin holds the copyright) in forms other than for which it was originally supplied, and The Design Assassin may, at our discretion, grant this. Such permission must be obtained in writing before we will allow any of the aforesaid artwork, images, text, or other data to be used.
By supplying images, text, or any other data to The Design Assassin, the customer grants The Design Assassin permission to use this material freely in the pursuit of the design.
Should The Design Assassin, or the customer supply an image, text, audio clip or any other file for use in a website, multimedia presentation, print item, exhibition, advertisement or any other medium believing it to be copyright and royalty free, which subsequently emerges to have such copyright or royalty usage limitations, the customer will agree to allow The Design Assassin to remove and/or replace the file on the site, according to copyright restrictions.
The customer agrees to fully indemnify and hold The Design Assassin free from harm in any and all claims resulting from the customer in not having obtained all the required copyright, and/or any other necessary permission.
The customer agrees that changes required over and above the estimated work or required to be carried out after acceptance of the draft design will be liable to a separate charge. Subsequent to the amount initially provided.
Projects that dramatically change from the original course are usually considered a new project and may be subject to a new or renewed agreement that appropriately covers the amendments, divergence or alterations.
The customer also agrees that The Design Assassin holds no responsibility for any amendments made by any third party; before, during or after a design is published. Fixing any loss of data caused by misuse or third parties, will also be billable at the nominated amount (usually the hourly rate).
Any design, copywriting, drawing, idea or code created for the customer by The Design Assassin, or any of its contractors, is licensed for use by the client on a one-time only basis (unless specified beforehand) and may not be modified, re-used, or re-distributed in any way or form without the express written consent of The Design Assassin and any of its relevant sub-contractors.
All design work – where there is a risk that another party may make a claim, should be registered by the client with the appropriate authorities prior to publishing, or first use or searches, and legal advice sought as to its use. The Design Assassin will not be held responsible for any and all damages resulting from such claims. The Design Assassin is not responsible for any loss, or consequential loss, non-delivery of products or services, of whatever cause. The customer agrees not to hold The Design Assassin responsible for any such loss or damage. Any claim against The Design Assassin shall be limited to the relevant fee(s) paid by the customer.
Image & Data Formats
The client agrees to The Design Assassin's definition of acceptable means of supplying data to the company. **See The Design Assassin's FAQ /Help Centre for more info on correctly supplying text, images and other content.
Text is to be supplied to The Design Assassin in electronic format as standard text (.txt), MS Word (.doc, .docx) on DVD (DVD+R, DVD-R), CD-ROM, or via e-mail. Alternative delivery methods also accepted include USB thumb drives, external hard drives (with USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 component). For digital delivery of files larger than 10 MB, you can send via the free online delivery utility You Send It: www.yousendit.com (limited to files of 25MB for free accounts – ZIP or RAR files if there are several), or use SugarSync: www.sugarsync.com or Dropbox: www.dropbox.com.
Images which are supplied in an electronic format are to be provided in a format as prescribed by The Design Assassin via the same methods listed above for delivery of text. Images must be of a quality suitable for required use (images not readily usable may incur charges for subsequent image processing), and The Design Assassin will not be held responsible for any image quality which the client later deems to be unacceptable where usable files have not been supplied. The Design Assassin cannot be held responsible for the quality of any images which the client wishes to be scanned from printed materials.
Additional expenses may be incurred for any necessary action, including, but not limited to, photography and art direction, photography searches, media conversion, digital image processing, or data entry services.
Design Project Duration
Any indication given by The Design Assassin of a design project's duration is to be considered by the customer to be an estimation. The Design Assassin cannot be held responsible for any project over-runs, whatever the cause. Estimated project duration should be deemed to be from the date that cleared funds are received by The Design Assassin for the initial payment or by date confirmed in writing by The Design Assassin.
Rights of Access for Website Construction
The client agrees to allow The Design Assassin all necessary access to website roots, computer systems and other locations, as required, in order to complete a website project and until all due funds are cleared, including the necessary read/write permissions, usernames and passwords. The customer also agrees to allow The Design Assassin access to any computer systems, usernames and passwords required to remove data and/or sites for failure to comply with these Terms and Conditions.
The customer agrees to supply The Design Assassin with all necessary materials and specs, electronic, or otherwise, required to create and complete the project, and to supply them in a timely manner according to the guidelines listed.
Where progress evaluations are required, the client agrees to respond in a timely manner or inform us of when they can respond. The Design Assassin will not be held responsible for any delays or issues that may arise out of failure to comply with timely responses.
Design Project Completion
The Design Assassin considers the design project complete upon receipt of the customer's signed Approval form/email. Later additional services such as printing, display panel production, film work, website uploading, publishing etc either contracted on the client's behalf constitute a separate project and can be treated as a separate charge.
Website Design Only
Once web design is complete, The Design Assassin will provide the customer with the opportunity to review the resulting work. The Design Assassin will make one set of minor changes at no extra cost within 14 days of the start of the late-stage review period, which must be received in writing. Minor changes include small textual changes, correction errors and small adjustments to placement of items on the page. It does not include changes to images, colour schemes, approved or any navigation features. Any minor changes can be notified to The Design Assassin by email or post.
The Design Assassin will consider that the client has accepted the original draft, if no notification of changes is received in writing from the customer, within 14 days of the start of the review period.
Hosting websites
The Design Assassin does not currently offer in-house hosting services. The Design Assassin can only suggest possible sub-contractors and does not guarantee continuous service and will accept no liability for loss of service or downtime whatever the cause. The Design Assassin may request that clients change the type of hosting account used if that account is deemed by The Design Assassin to be unacceptable because of poor service, lack of bandwidth, security issues or is in any other way insufficient to support the website. Fees due to the hosting organisation are the responsibility of the client and The Design Assassin is not liable for their payment.
Domain Registration
The Design Assassin cannot guarantee the availability of any domain name. Where The Design Assassin is to register a domain name on behalf of a client it will endeavour to do so but the client should not assume a successful registration. Common choices or common names may require an alternative option for example: "www.ebbonline.com" should "www.ebb.com" be taken. Customers are responsible for the ongoing costs of operating. If The Design Assassin is not required to webmaster the site, clients are responsible for ensuring all operating costs and details are kept up to date.
Search Engine Submission
Due to the infinite number of considerations that search engines use when determining a site's ranking, The Design Assassin cannot guarantee any particular placement. Acceptance by any search engine cannot be guaranteed and when a site is accepted, the time it takes to appear in search results varies from one search engine to another. Rankings will also vary as new sites are added.
Design Credits
The customer agrees to allow The Design Assassin to place a small credit on printed material exhibition displays, advertisements and/or a link to The Design Assassin's own website on the customer's website. This will usually be in the form of a small logo or unobtrusive line of text placed towards the bottom of the page.
The customer also agrees to allow The Design Assassin to place websites and other designs, along with a link to the client's site on The Design Assassin's own website for demonstration purposes and to use any designs in its own publicity or portfolio.
Rights of Refusal
The Design Assassin reserves the right to choose not to include in our work, any text, images or other data which it deems to be extremely immoral, offensive, obscene or illegal. All advertising material must conform to all standards laid down by all relevant advertising standards authorities. The Design Assassin also reserves the right to refuse to include submitted material without giving reason. Any images and/or data that The Design Assassin does include in all good faith, and then finds out that it contravenes these Terms and Conditions, the customer is obliged to allow The Design Assassin to remove the contravention without hindrance, or penalty. The Design Assassin is to be held in no way responsible for any such data being included.
Cancellation of orders may be made initially by contact through phone or e-mail, however, following this, The Design Assassin will need formal notification in writing to the company's postal address. The client will then be invoiced for all work completed over and above the non-refundable deposit that will have been made at the time of first ordering. The balance of monies due must be paid within 30 days. Please note: any cancellation which is not formally confirmed in writing and received by The Design Assassin within 14 days of such instruction being issued, will be liable for the full quoted cost of the project.
The Design Assassin makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, for any and all products and/or services that it supplies. The Design Assassin will not be held responsible for any and all damages resulting from products and/or services it supplies. The Design Assassin is not responsible for any loss, or consequential loss of data, or non-delivery of products or services, of whatever cause. While all reasonable steps are taken to investigate the materials we recommend, we accept no responsibility for the performance or quality of materials or any consequential loss arising from their failure. The customer agrees not to hold The Design Assassin responsible for any such loss or damage. Any claim against The Design Assassin shall be limited to the relevant fee(s) paid by the customer.
The Design Assassin reserves the right to use the services of sub-contractors, agents and suppliers and any work, content, services and usage is bound by their Terms and Conditions. The Design Assassin will not knowingly perform any actions to contravene these and the client also agrees to be so bound.
The Design Assassin and its clients agree to comply with Printers Terms and Conditions which include disclaimers for non-completion on time and the flexibility to supply quantities within 10% of the total ordered. The Design Assassin recommends that if an exact quantity is required, then 10% extra is added to the quantity and extra time made available should the job be delayed.
These Terms and Conditions supersede any previous Terms and Conditions distributed in any form. The Design Assassin reserves the right to change any rates and any of the Terms and Conditions at any time and without prior notice. For any additional requested changes that take place while rate changes have ensued, the client shall be notified.
Acceptance of Quotation and Terms and Conditions
The placement of an order for design, creative and/or any other services offered by The Design Assassin validated by the customer's signature on the estimate or quotation form/agreement by email, constitutes acceptance of the estimate or quotation, agreement to comply fully with all the Terms & Conditions, and forms a Contract for Business between the signatory and The Design Assassin.
Any further queries can be directed towards The Design Assassin by email or methods on the contact page.
And A Final Word On Spec Work
The Design Assassin provides a professional service and will accept jobs based solely on our own discretion. Whilst happy to undertake charitable work, we do not partake in spec work of any kind. The reason for this is that we realise that our work has value and that successful creative work is not merely guesswork, but involves understanding and collaboration between both client and designer to find the best solutions.
Creative and design work involves more than 'pressing magic buttons' and knowing about software. Being able to use Photoshop does not make one a designer. Excellent design takes great knowledge, technical skill, understanding of rights and copyrights, innovative talent and expertise in a vast range of areas. It also takes years of dedication and education.
Creative services are The Design Assassin's profession and livelihood, and as other business owners would respect, we are unable to simply give away our services for free. If you are seeking 'try before you buy' solutions then there are many amateur competitions and 'contest' options available on the internet. Just be aware that you get what you pay for if you choose to go down this path.

Buxtehude, an orderly collection of 'bricks and mortar',
straggled and stacked,
between the shores of 'the Este',
...a river, the size of the drain-water, from my bath-tub.
Buxtehude, far enough, in the north of Europe;
to evade summer's misquitos.
,.south enough, to avoid September-winters.
,..east enough, to slip the 'green-grass-tourist' of Amsterdam.
,...west enough, to side-step St. Pauli soccer-fans.
Buxtehude: 40,000 strong,..
enough space and 'potential',
....our 'theater', for the past week.
Hanging out, on the streets, as 'Performers',
folks get to know right away:
"..not from HERE,.....but öK.".
In other words: "INTERESTING!"
By the third day, we're hearing more storys,
then telling(!).
...and, we're seeing around a few corners,
we missed,
the first two days.
1540 to 1630,...no place to show up with your Cups & Balls(!).
21 'Zauberer',..put on trial(!).
In all honesty,
they weren't "Gazzo's producing Melons".
They were all,...WOMEN(!),..
trying to heal horses, cows,
...their husband's or children's wounds, ills, and sickness.
The cool thing about Buxtehude:
they've put up big brass plates,
on the City Hall(!),
listing the names, of the Ladys.
,..giving their dates of birth,
...and dates of demise.
AND, the City of Buxtehude,
and asks 'forgiveness'(!..!).
Cool enough, for me,..
to write about it,
..and pass it along.
If nothing else,
simply read the Lady's names,
one at a time.
Beautifull names,..
..for a moment,
in the flames and smoke of time,..
they are remembered.

I dialed the number, knowing I might be on the phone with a DirecTV customer service representative for a while. The power went out in three quick spurts the night before and I couldn't get past the blue screen on one of the televisions in my house.
The representative ran me through several lists she was reading from, including the infamous lines, "Are you sure everything is plugged in?" and "Can you check the cables please to make sure they are secure?"
"Everything is plugged in and it doesn't have anything to do with the cables," I said. "The power went out last night and now I can't get past the blue screen. I reset my other TV, and it's up and running again, but I can't figure this one out."
Once we got past the formalities, she had me try multiple other options, but none of them worked. The blue screen was winning. Finally, after maybe 30 or 40 minutes, she offered to send someone out to fix it, saying the service call would be free.
After we hung up, I disconnected the VCR from the set up since it was no longer needed anyway, and when I reconnected everything, the evil blue screen was gone. Even though the representative couldn't fix the problem while I was on the phone with her, I was impressed by her patience and determination to make sure I was able to get back up and running as soon as possible.
The next day, I had to call my phone/internet company because the power outage wiped out my wireless connection and I couldn't get it going again. I was on the phone for an hour with a customer service representative who again took me through the standard "Are you sure everything is plugged in" questions before deciding to help me set up the network from scratch. She too was patient and we got the network back up.
My problems weren't really problems as much as they were time drains, but dealing with two friendly customer service representatives whom I didn't have to battle made my life easier, and I was thankful for that.

Blueberry Cake Recipe with Almonds and Vanilla
Just imagine waking up to this Blueberry Cake? Yes Yes… I had it for breakfast. YUM YUM. I had so much that I could not stomach eating my poached eggs that were waiting for me.
With my husband out of the country, I had my friend Sarah over to keep me company on Saturday evening. We decided to spend it with nice glass of rose and some cooking.
I just had this new baking book sent over to me by Headline publishing to review. It is called Sesame and Spice and is a book about Jewish Baking. ( I will write a more detailed review about it later)
I gave Sarah the honour pick out the first recipe for us to recreate; and she choose this this Blueberry Cake with Almonds and Vanilla.
When I asked her why she picked this particular recipe she just said "It looks easy and yummy". And it was exactly that. I am the first to admit that I am more a cook than a baker.
But this recipe was very easy to follow. You can substitute the blueberries for any other fruit that is in season at the moment like apples, cherries, peaches or pears.
I love cake with fresh fruit and this cake is lovely and moist. According to Anne Shooter's (the author of the book) it has it origin in the Czech Republic. I also had similar variations of this cake in Germany.
Source: Sesame & Spice: Baking from the East End to the Middle East By Anne Shooters
- 115 g unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing)
- 115 g caster sugar
- 3 eggs, separated
- 2 table spoons milk or orange juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond essence
- grated zest of 1 lemon
- 125 plain flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 400 g blueberries, tossed
- 1 tbs plain flour
- 2 table spoons flaked almonds
- icing sugar for dusting
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Grease your cake tin (around 20 cm diameter) with butter.
- In a medium sized bowl cream the butter and sugar until thick and mousse-like.
- Add the egg yolks, one at a time, and then the milk/orange juice, vanilla extract, almon essence and lemon zest. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until stiff. Gently fold in the yolk mixture, sift the flour, add the salt and fold in gently.
- Carefully mix in the blueberries then our the mixture into the cake tin.
- Bake for about 35 minutes.
- Dust with some icing sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.

Try harder to clear assembler break points from C/C++ source
Currently if a break point set in the disassemble window does not match the start of a C/C++ line, you cannot clear it by clicking in the source image, despite the break appearing on the source line.
I would expect the act of clicking on a C/C++ line that shows a break point to clear the break, even if I had set it in the disassemble window. I know that this may be tricky, but if you can detect that that the line has an associated break, it should be possible to clear it.

It will be a mistake to approach today's connectivity options as a purely binary choice between wireless and fibre-optic fixed-line networks.
Both technologies are champions of ICT but contrary to how they are sometimes advertised, wireless and fibre are hardly in competition with each other. They cater to different markets and serve different needs, but they truly come into their own when they converge.
Two ways to connect
Wireless connectivity in the form of 4G LTE is a powerful force in the connectivity mix and its popularity continues to rise. It has already been successful in connecting consumers and businesses in far-flung locations, serving mobile workforces and providing businesses with a solid failover network. Quick installations and flexible and convenient deployment options make it an excellent last mile solution and add to its long list of inherent strengths. As wireless technology improves and speeds increase, its market share is sure to keep growing.
On the other hand, fibre networks deliver unrivalled speeds that allow a new level of performance for businesses, allowing them to embrace apps and services that were previously off-limits to them. The drawback is the expense and complexity of fibre installations. It means that buy-in is needed from as many consumers and businesses in an area as possible, limiting deployment to relatively high-density, high-income areas.
Plugging fibre coverage gaps with 4G
This results in large coverage gaps that fibre networks cannot feasibly service. This is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future for outlying areas. However, wireless connectivity is plugging these gaps and meeting high-speed broadband needs in outlying areas with affordable solutions.
The problem for wireless networks occurs when bandwidth demands increase because it causes the area covered by an individual cell to shrink. This means that more masts are required for speeds to remain optimal in the area, driving up costs for providers with additional installations and ongoing maintenance.
The perfect match – fibre to support wireless
The answer is in the merger of the two. Using fibre as a backbone network to connect cellphone towers directly is known as fibre backhauling. Traditionally, this load was carried by long-range microwave radio links, but fibre is now taking over and driving significantly greater performance. Wireless backhaul may be easier to deploy, but it's inherently slower, less efficient, and occupies spectrum that can be used for other purposes. However, it might still play a role as a temporary measure.
With the increased speeds afforded by a fibre backbone or core network, wireless connectivity becomes far more viable as a business connectivity solution without the heavier price tag of a direct fibre link. Larger businesses that opt for fibre are advised to have a wireless backup system to cover any possible downtime.
Partner with IS to offer the best of both
Fibre backhauling to support wireless networks will be increasingly indispensable as the number of mobile-first consumers and businesses in South Africa and the rest of the continent continue to multiply and the demands for bandwidth increases.
IS's carrier-grade infrastructure, with peering partnerships, ensures that we can deliver fast and reliable Internet access anywhere. Partnerships will be vital to meet future demands in South Africa and beyond, and there are myriad opportunities to offer wholesale connectivity solutions that perfectly match customers' needs – be they wireless or fibre.

UPHF-SFS-ASMCF statement on the closure of the Languages programme at the University of SunderlandClick here for the full letter
A one-day workshop organised by the Association of University Professors and Heads of French (AUPHF), co-sponsored by the Society for French Studies, on changing mindsets and rethinking the value of languages.For more information, click here.To sign up for the event, click here
As the Executive Committee of the Association of University Professors and Heads of French we are writing to express our dismay at the planned restructuring of Modern Languages provision at the University of Reading. We understand that the University is planning a merger between the Department of Modern Languages and European Studies (MLES) and the Institution Wide Language Programme (IWLP), resulting in cuts of between 8 and 13 staff FTEs across German, French, Spanish and Italian. Click here for the full letter
AUPHF, together with AHA, have issued a warning about the damaging effects of Brexit on Arts and Humanities disciplines in the UK.
Modern Languages: Most Modern Languages degrees currently involve a compulsory year abroad. Interruption to Erasmus+ student and staff mobility schemes will reduce the attractiveness of our programmes to UK and international students; jeopardise their intellectual and pedagogical coherence; and further accelerate the decline in the study of languages highlighted by the British Council, exacerbating the serious deficit in UK language skills. In creating a more hostile environment for EU language teachers in the UK it will cause a shortage of teachers. Almost everything we teach is about communication with, and openness to, European cultures, languages, history and peoples.
Click here for the full AHA statement: http://artsandhums.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Brexit-statement-final.pdf
As part of its commitment to supporting leadership across all areas of French Studies, the AUPHF is hosting a day-long workshop in Cardiff University on 24 March 2018. Leading in Difficult Times will explore the importance of advocacy for MFL at national level, the challenges and opportunities for promoting languages at institutional level, the experience of leading on an equality strategy, and the role and value of mentorship in leadership development.

AUPHF sponsored a four-nations discussion of Brexit and languages at the Society of French Studies conference in Durham in July 2017. Stephen Forcer from Birmingham University spoke about the context in English, Margaret Topping on Northern Ireland, Jim Simpson on Scotland and Claire Gorrara on Wales. All speakers highlighted the specifics of their national contexts, influenced by British and devolved educational policy towards languages and multilingualism. The debate following the presentations highlighted the different positions for modern languages within the primary and secondary school sectors across the 4 nations and their relationship to indigenous languages, where there was often investment and a national strategy. Debate focused on the importance for modern linguists of having access to key government policy makers responsible for language policy and the potential advantages of greater proximity for colleagues in devolved administrations. All speakers recognised the current uncertainty surrounding Brexit's impact on public understanding and appreciation of modern languages. Please click here for further information.

All color revolutions and regime change operations are paid for events.
None, I repeat, none of these people standing in city squares for weeks on end are doing it for free…and they are not doing it for the love of democracy, or the hate of corruption.
It's all staged, planned, and paid for. Vicky Nuland admitted that the US State Department sunk $5 billion into regime change in Ukraine (Google it). Soros has invested much more via NGOs to organise the Maidan (Google it).
In today's world, being a protestor is a part-time (sometimes full-time) job.
Send your CV to the CIA, US State Department, or in rare cases like yesterday's Ukraine parliament riot, oligarchs, like Ihor Kolomoisky, are getting in on the color revolution business. We guess you can send your CV to PrivatBank, which appears to handle all of Kolomoisky's 'other' activities.
Via Sputnik News Agency…
A video has appeared on the internet showing a group of people paying protesters money to demonstrate in front of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukrainian Parliament).
In addition to money being handed out, there were also t-shirts distributed with labels and logos, some of which read "Ukrop", website joinfo.ua reported.
The journalists also managed to film how the protestors who came to the building of the Ukrainian parliament were handed flags of the Kolomoisky-sponsored party.
Ihor Kolomoisky, the former governor of Dnipropetrovsk, is one of Ukraine's richest tycoons with a business empire that includes holdings in the energy, media, aviation, chemical and metalwork industries. Moreover, the notorious oligarch sponsors Azov radical battalion, which fights in Donbass. Media, including Western newspapers, have persistently published facts proving that the Azov battalion comprises far-right extremists.
According to some reports, the protesters received 50 hryvnia per hour for their presence at the demonstration.
Riots in front of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine in the center of Kiev began on August 31. The protesters tried to storm the parliament building, which is protected by the Special Forces. The protesters threw a grenade at the forces.
Some 100 people were wounded in the clashes. According to Internal Minister Arsen Avakov's adviser Anton Gerashenko, a National Guard soldier died from shrapnel wounds to the chest.

text: The City of Columbia Water and Light department came out this morning and installed the new solar meter. We were surprised because they have up to thirty days from the inspection and they are not known for being quick. We were definitely not complaining though and were thrilled that we were one step closer to functional. Then, the inspection happened this afternoon. When all was complete, the City of Columbia inspector flipped the switch and the solar panels are functional! In total today, we used 11 kilowatt hours. Since the solar panels were turned on at 2 pm, we produced 5 kilowatt hours. Considering those 5 kilowatt hours were in a 4-1/2 hour period, I think had the panels been on this morning, we most likely would have produced as much as we made. I love it!

From seed to blossom,
bathe in one's place in the sun,
to the sea and timeless sands
Orion awaits,
the plight of twenty one grams
A Tanka to express my version of a death poem, suggested to us by Gayle and Grace and over at dversepoets.com
Taking the ocean to this form of poetry--quite lovely.ReplyDelete
I really like the infusion of 21 grams. How very clever.. And with that Orion brightens,ReplyDelete
Ah.. the Soul of Stars
of human
You included so much; very impressive, reminding us that our little lives are but a blink in the vast schematic of things; reminds us to live joyfully in the Now,, walk your beach, talk to your moon, feed your crows. Smile.ReplyDelete
I did not know what the significance of twenty one grams was, so I googled it. (What on earth did we do before Google?) Thanks for making me look something up that I found it quite interesting to learn. But even before I looked up this significance of twenty one grams, I thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Peace, LindaReplyDelete
I had to look it up as well!Delete
That's a lifetime, from seed to blossom ~ I also love Orion awaiting Kathy ~
Thanks for a lovely jisei ~
The circle of life is so grand that we move from the earth, to the oceans and then onward to the heavens. Your tanka is so encompassing and I love that ending line. Thank you for joining in, Kathy.ReplyDelete
This is quite beautifulReplyDelete
I do wish I understood 21 grams...(explain?)....but the other lines do resonate clearly!ReplyDelete
Mary, Sherry explains the theory below;)Delete
I gather upon dying, a person weighs 21 grams less than when alive, a figure generally postulated to be the weight of the soul????? anyway, very original and intriguing, this poem. Thought-provoking too.ReplyDelete
I too had to check out the 21 grammes allusion - the so-called weight of the soul - but of course immeasurable...
Well, you certainly had all of us intrigued!
Interesting too, how much sea/ocean/beach imagery these death poems are invoking.
From seed to blossom is such a great way of looking at life. And Orion as the beacon of hope. Lovely!ReplyDelete
21 grams...very powerful.ReplyDelete
Incredible. So original this is! One has to wonder if it is the soul that weighs 21 grams and hence the body weighing less when the soul departs....so many thoughts in this one. I like Orion awaits.....don't know if you know this: the Japanese word for the Milky Way is amanogawa - River of Heaven or Celestial river.ReplyDelete
love the sky and sea reference - and sharing the 21 gramsReplyDelete
This is a bit different, and thought-provoking. I am fond of Orion and like that inclusion. :)ReplyDelete
quite lovely Kathy!...and a thankyou (shoutout) to Sherry Marr for helping me to understand the enigmatic final two words!ReplyDelete
ha - had to check out the 21 grams as well - i like how you connect it to the sea and timesless sands...ReplyDelete
All comments, constructive and otherwise, are welcome and appreciated here. Thank you to those who show an interest in my quirky style of writing, photography, painting, and presenting a feeling or thought and for stopping by A Dwelling by the Sea..

Seriously, the one to go for with music round here is Biroc.
I'm not about to reveal all about the guy here, but let's just say he's a total expert, and I've learnt a very great deal from him, as well as from the late B.
It was B and Biroc who put me onto Nono, Stockhausen, Schoenberg, etc. Serious music.

What is a Panet?
• The celestial object that revolves around the sun is called a planet.
• The planets were formed during the process of solar system formation, when clumps began to form in the disk of gas and dust.
• Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun.
• Less than half of the size of Earth, it is the second smallest planet in the solar system.
• Mercury has a very little atmosphere, and similar to the Moon, has a dusty surface covered with craters.
Figure 8: Mercury
• It takes only 88 days to orbit once around the sun, but then, each day on Mercury is as long as almost two months on the Earth.
• This is because it rotates very slowly on its own axis.
• This tiny planet does not have any rings or moons.
• NASA's latest mission to Mercury is called Messenger.
• The Messenger spacecraft entered Mercury's orbit in March 2011 and is sending back new pictures of the planet.
• Messenger is now moving with Mercury around the Sun.
• Venus is the brightest planet and is sometimes visible with the naked eye.
• The size of the planet is similar to Earth's, so Venus is sometimes called "Earth's twin".
• Venus is made up of almost the same type of materials as the Earth.
• Venus has volcanoes, mountains and sand, just like Earth.
Figure 9: Venus
• A thick layer of clouds around Venus causes it to appear bright white from the Earth.
• It reflects a lot of sunlight and that is why we see it as a bright dot in the sky.
• Like Mercury, it does not have any satellite.
• It takes about 224 days to travel once round the sun.
• Earth is the third planet from the sun, present in between Venus and Mars.
• It is a mid-sized planet, larger than Pluto, Mercury, Venus and Mars, and smaller than Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
• The Earth has one moon, which is approximately one-fourth the size of the planet itself.
Figure 10: Earth
• The orbit of the Earth is elliptical.
• It is a unique planet as it is the only known planet where life exists.
• About 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water and the temperature is moderate enough to support life.
• Moon is the Earth's only natural satellite.
• Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system, present in between Earth and Jupiter.
• It is known as the "Red Planet" due to its red colour.
• This colour is due to the layer of rusted iron dust.
• Mars is about half the size of Earth.
Figure 11: Mars
• A very thin layer of air covers the planet.
• Its atmosphere is thinner than the Earth's atmosphere, but it causes Mars to have weather, including clouds and dust storms.
• Its atmosphere has a lot of carbon dioxide and a small amount of oxygen and water vapour.
• Evidence suggests that on Mars' surface, there were rivers, streams, lakes, and even an ocean.
• As Mars' atmosphere slowly depleted into the outer space, the surface water evaporated permanently.
• Today the only water on Mars is either frozen in the polar caps or is present underground.
• Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.
• It is so huge that, about 1,300 Earths could fit inside the planet.
• Jupiter is a gas planet, which means that it is a giant cloud mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, held together by gravity.
Figure 12: Jupiter
• Because Jupiter is a gas planet, it has no real surface.
• The swirling gas clouds create a sort of weather that includes storms.
• The most well known of these storms is the Great Red Spot, which is visible in photographs of Jupiter.
• It has the largest number of satellites (more than 60) and takes about 12 years to orbit the sun.
• Saturn is the sixth planet in the solar system, present in between Jupiter and Uranus.
• Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system.
• Similar to Jupiter, it is also made up of gas, which makes it the lightest planet.
• Saturn is so light that it could float in water.
Figure 13: Saturn
• It takes about 29 1/2 years to finish one revolution around the sun.
• Saturn is well-known for its rings.
• These rings are formed by water, ice, and rocky particles with icy coatings.
• The rings are held in place around Saturn by the moons that also orbit this large planet.
• The gravity of these moons cause the gaps that are seen in between the rings.
• Uranus is the seventh planet in the solar system, present in between Saturn and Neptune.
• It is about four times the size of the Earth, but compared to its large neighbour- Saturn, Uranus appears very small.
• Like Saturn, Uranus is a gas planet and has rings, but it is different from the other gas planets.
Figure 13: Uranus
• It revolves around the sun once every 84 years.
• Uranus contains methane gas in addition to hydrogen and helium.
• This methane gas causes the planet to appear blue-green in colour.
• Uranus has 27 moons.
• Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun, present in between Uranus and Pluto.
• The distance between Neptune and the Sun averages almost 2.8 billion miles.
• Neptune completes an orbit around the Sun just once every 165 years, but it rotates approximately every 16 hours.
Figure 14: Neptune
• It is a stormy blue planet with a molten rock core.
• Around the core is a layer of very cold water, which moves gradually into a top layer which is made up of hydrogen, helium, and a small amount of methane.
• This methane gives the planet its blue colour.
• Like the other gas planets, Neptune has rings.
• Neptune's rings are made of small, dark clumps of rock.
• Neptune has 8 moons.

San Diego's SAIC Emerging as Key Player in Nation's Cyber-Security Battle
(Page 2 of 2)
me a new perspective on yesterday's disclosure by SAIC (the company also known as Science Applications International Corp.) that it had recently won a prime contract for $388 million from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide scientific, engineering, and technical services to support the NCS. The company describes NCS, or the National Communications System, as "a cornerstone of the country's ability to provide key communications services to support government functions during emergencies."
Yet Paller suggests that such disclosures represent only part of a cyber-security picture in which SAIC has emerged as the single most important player.
The SANS research director tells me the government has been hiring "thousands" of computer security experts to man the nation's cyber-ramparts. Paller says the key factor in recruiting cyber-warriors is in providing people with the necessary skills to understand and respond to sophisticated, persistent, and coordinated attacks on U.S. computer networks. The continuing government recruiting effort goes largely unseen, Paller says, because these jobs are classified.
And how does he know this? "We're helping with a big manpower study for the Center for Strategic and International Studies," Paller says. (The center, a bipartisan and non-profit government research and public policy organization, has been supporting the Commission on Cybersecurity for the 44th Presidency.)
To Paller, San Diego's SAIC "is the only major defense contractor that is able to deliver large numbers of people with advanced technical security skills. The military leaders know that in cyberspace, the only effective weapons are people with advanced technical skills, not packaged tools. That means the winning contractors will deliver people with proven skills in intrusion detection, forensics vulnerability analysis and exploit development, reverse engineering malware, advanced penetration testing—especially application penetration testing, perimeter leakage and protection, and similar skills."
And it's all happening behind the scenes.

Late November... the days are getting shorter, cold and grey, it rains a lot, and the sun can be rarely seen on the sky. A time of the year when most people prefer to stay inside and avoid contact with the outside world. Despite all of this, the end of autumn is still a great … Continue reading Late autumn stroll through Berlin
Category: Germany
Although mainly known as an economic powerhouse, Germany has quite an intriguing and tumultuous history. I've always enjoyed discovering the old parts of its cities (named altstadt), and wandering around for hours.
The Cologne Experience
I've been thinking of writing this post for some weeks now, and finally decided to give it a go. Why I did it? Because Cologne is such a tasteful place, where I enjoy spending time. Why I was in doubt? Because most of my interactions with the city are related to work. My usual travel … Continue reading The Cologne Experience
Bavarian winter tale
I like Germany. I like the culture, the society, the colorful cities, the Christmas customs, and many more. But I admit: I don't like the language, it's so freakin' hard and complicated to learn! Having these in mind, spending a few days in Bavaria, during the winter season, sounds like a good idea. Why? Well, … Continue reading Bavarian winter tale
