Global Vocational Skills (GVS) attends Centre for Vocational Education Research (CVER) Conference 2019
Global Vocational Skills (GVS) newest addition to the team, Adrian Daniels, Business Development Manager, attended the 2019 CVER Conference at London School of Economics (LSE), the fourth annual conference held at the LSE premises on Lincoln Fields.
Meanwhile, other talks dived into other topics, such as The Evaluation of Post- Compulsory Education Partners, where different educational pathways, such as FE and HE, for school leavers where evaluated. Andy Dickerson and Damon Morris from The University of Sheffield explored this matter further. They mentioned that Apprenticeship and Vocational Level 3 routes are very poorly predicted, whilst those that come through NVQ Level 3 pathways have a lower income and employability over A-level and HE routes. A suggestion was made that Parents' afternoons rather than Evenings could fit in better with work/life balance and even improve educational career outcomes for students moving forward.
Whilst some of the Education Economists held back their research from the public, one of the professors from Switzerland, Professor Dr. Uschi Backes-Gellner, was kind enough to publish his keynote paper from day one of the conference: Vocational Education and Training (VET) and innovation

How to make the right financial decisions
You probably make at least one financial decision every day, like buying a coffee out rather than making one at home. Or filling your car up at the most convenient, rather than cheapest, petrol station. Both of these have an impact on your finances.
Then there's the bigger decisions: should you trade that car (the one you've just filled up with petrol) in for a new one? Should you go abroad on holiday this year? Should you put more into your pension?
We've all got different levels of disposable income, different goals and different attitudes to spending. So while it's hard to define what makes a good financial decision, a sensible starting point is taking steps to avoid decisions you'll regret later.
1. Be realistic
Set yourself achievable goals and give yourself some leeway.
If you've decided to save monthly, for example, then set your goal within a range, such as £100-£300.
If you target a specific figure, like £200, but can only afford £100 one month, you might be tempted to skip that month's savings altogether. Remember, saving something each month is better than saving nothing.
Explore more: How to save money
2. Bring your goals to life
Setting tangible targets and keeping your financial goals front of mind can be a big motivator.
'Savings account' is not the most inspiring name. What's it actually for? Why are you saving in the first place? If it's for a holiday to Japan, try labelling your savings account 'JAPAN HOLIDAY'.
If you're saving for your child's education, try 'DAVID'S UNI FUND' (assuming your child's called David).
If your goal is to clear your debts, set yourself milestones where you can celebrate the progress you've made.
3. Decide on when, where and how
Deciding exactly when, where and how you'll make certain decisions can reduce the temptation to veer from the plan.
For example, if you've decided to put money into a savings account each month, will you do it:
- the same day you get paid, or the first day of each month?
- on your phone, laptop, or in branch?
- at home, at work, or on the train to work?
It can be the same when repaying debt. Decide exactly how you want to repay each month and set yourself rules around when, where and how you'll do it.
4. Automate your decisions
Taking the decision to set up a standing order prevents you having to make a fresh decision each month. Set it up so your savings or debt repayments are automatically deducted from your income.
This can help you work out how much you have 'free' to spend each month, safe in the knowledge you've already contributed to your goal. Not only may this help you meet your goal faster, it may remove any guilt you feel for spending on things you enjoy.
If you're an HSBC customer, you can also use tools like Balance After Bills on our mobile app. It accounts for your regular bills to let you know how much money you could have left to spend. This way you can avoid situations where you don't have enough to cover your electricity bill a few days before pay day.
5. Picture the alternatives
A common source of regret can be realising after an event that you could've done something differently. If you're serious about attaining your goals, think about specific ways things could go wrong and how you'll avoid them.
For example, if you're saving for a holiday tell yourself in advance: 'If I'm tempted to buy a new jacket I don't really need, I'll remind myself that I'll save the money for my holiday and stop browsing.'
6. Set up alerts
Being aware of your spending is the first step to controlling it and spend alerts are a great way to keep track.
Some apps will allow you to set a limit for your spending in different areas and then send you a notification if you're approaching or have gone over your limit.
Don't forget, everyone spends a little more than they mean to sometimes, and that's OK. But taking steps to avoid a regular sense of regret is a good way to start making better decisions.

SPAIN has put forward Galicia's Ribeira Sacra valley as its candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status in the current round of applications.
The Ministry of Culture's Council of Historical Heritage unanimously chose the valley, on the border of Galicia's Lugo and Orense provinces, as Spain's candidate for the status. It will be made a World Heritage Site in 2021 if UNESCO approves the bid.
Ramon Fernandez-Baca, a senior government heritage official, said the Ribeira Sacra was of great cultural value to Spain.
"It is a place of spirituality in the valleys of the Sil and Miño rivers," Fernandez-Baca said.
The Xunta de Galicia's Cultural Heritage spokesperson Maria del Carmen Martinez Insua said the Ribeira Sacra was a site of 'immense pride' for Galicia.
The Ribeira Sacra is believed to have got its name from the large numbers of monasteries built in the river valley.
The area is also known for its abundant ecosystem, wine produced their and the food and drink offering of towns along the valley.

A lawyer for the family of Sophie Toscan duPlantier has described the end of Ian Bailey's High Court action yesterday as an "important step".
Mr Bailey lost the civil action in which he claimed Gardaí conspired to implicate him in the murder of the French film producer.
Her death is also under investigation by French authorities, more than 18 years after her body was found in west Cork.
Lawyer Alain Spilliaert said the investigation there has been held up since last year, however he expects it will now resume.
"The judge should be able to make his last set of interviews during the next few weeks," he said.
"When he will notify to the parties at the end of his investigation, he will then send the file to the Paris prosecutor for review and advice, and then he will send his notification of decision.
"This should be taken by the end of this year."

Called, Anointed & Appointed ~ by Elaine Tavolacci, 1/17/20Posted: January 18, 2020 in Chosen, Precious jewels in HIS service
The LORD says, "Just as I have called David as a young shepherd boy to be a King, I have called you to be used in an extraordinary way."
There is a story in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 16 about the calling of King David.
The LORD told the Prophet Samuel to fill his horn with oil and go to anoint one of Jesse's sons to be the next King. Each one of Jesse's sons passed before Samuel.
The first one named Eliab passed before him. Samuel thought that surely he was the one to anoint because he considered his outward appearance.
But The LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For The LORD does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but The LORD looks at the heart."
Abinadab then passed before him. Abinadab had a son named Eleazar who was consecrated to guard the ark of the covenant in Abinadabs house after it was returned from Palistine captivity, (1 Samuel 7:1).
It remained in his house for twenty years. He then had Shammah pass before him. Shammah was the warrior who is credited with having single-highhandedly defeated the Philistine soldiers at a lentil patch. He may also be the man who defeated 600 men of the Philistines with an ox goad.
After each one of Jesse's seven sons passed before Samuel, he told Jesse that The LORD has not chosen any of them.
Samuel then asked if he had any other sons, Jesse said yes the youngest son who is tending the sheep. Samuel said, "Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives."
So he sent for David and brought in. David was ruddy with bright eyes and handsome features. When Samuel had seen David, The LORD said to him, "Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!"
Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of The LORD came upon David from that day forward.
In the same way, Jesus is anointing the next generation. Just as He passed Davids brothers up, He is also passing many others up to find the one who has a heart after Him.
He is not looking for someone who is brilliant or renowned, but He is searching for the one who spends time with Him in the secret place.
There are some who have been abused, used and rejected from their youth. To the world they are known as "Generation X" or "the Millennial's".
They are tenacious in faith, radical for Jesus and are ready to transform the world with the glory of God. He has a master plan for their lives and they are going to defeat their enemy with the same weapon that he used against them.
The LORD says, "Just as I have called David as a young shepherd boy to be a King, I have called you to be used in an extraordinary way.
Just as I anointed him and raised him up to be a mighty warrior, I also anoint you to be strong and very courageous.
There is no need to be fearful or fainthearted because you will minister in My Strength and Anointing. You will know the authority that I have placed on your life as I raise you up for the end times.
As the world looks at you and see's your faults and failures, I see you as the mighty warrior that I have created you to be.
Don't see yourself in defeat, neither see yourself as the person who you once were because I have created you to be a giant slayer.
You will arise and defeat the powers of the enemy because you have been called to greatness. You have been created for My end time plan.
Just as David confronted and killed Goliath, so shall you stand against the giants and conquer them. Just as David killed the lion and the bear, you are well able to overcome every obstacle and adversity that comes against you.
I will train your hands for war and your fingers for battle, an have gifted you and called you to do great exploits. I have created each one of you for a unique purpose and placed My anointing upon your lives.
I strategically designed each one of you to be different from the others. Don't try to emulate the calling of someone else, but imitate their life by following their blameless lifestyle and holy way of living as you clothe yourselves in robes of righteousness.
I have given you the personality and the temperament to be just as you are and to do all that you were called to do.
You are unique because you are not of this world but you have been set apart for such a time as this. You have been chosen for a particular assignment.
As you stay steadfast in your convictions and uncompromising in your walk with Me, I will visit you and speak to you.
As I anointed David, I now anoint you, saying 'Arise, anoint him, for this Is the one,'" says The LORD.
"But The LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For The LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but The LORD looks at the heart," 1 Samuel 16:7.
"And Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him. For we will not [e]sit down till he comes here." So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And The LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!" Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of The LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah," 1 Samuel 16:11-13.
Prayer of submission and activation: A Watchman's Petition – "Here I am LORD, Send Me!" – Tim Foster, 1-14-20Posted: January 16, 2020 in Chosen, Precious jewels in HIS service, Sanctified to carry God's Glory to the lost = modern Esther's 4:14
Jeremiah 31: 6For there shall be a day when watchmen will cry in the hill country of Ephraim: 'Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God.'"
Father in Heaven – As Isaiah heard Your calling "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" my response is the same as Isaiah's "Here am I. Send me!" [Insert Petitioner's Name Here]
As for the little boy, Samuel, You came and stood by him, calling, "Samuel! Samuel!"
Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening." – So it is with us LORD – your chosen vessels, we cry out to go and speak for you LORD – we desire to go and be the face of Jesus to those people who do not know Him or You – Father.
As You spoke to Moses on the mountain top, You instructed him and the Israelites to leave this place and go to the Land of Promise – You said that "Your presence will go with them, and You will give them peace." In the same way, we as your chosen vessels, pray that you would send us out into the harvest of the many and that Your presence will go with us and you will give us peace.
And with this assignment of leaving our worldly careers behind us and moving on with our Godly careers in your Kingdom – we call for the promises You made in Your Word for the super-natural giftings, blessings, and abilities – through the Power of Holy Spirit that resides in us.
Father – we come and petition to be sent out in the same way the Jesus sent out His twelve disciples where He instructed them to proclaim "The kingdom of heaven is at hand." And to "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons."
Father – we pray these words of Jesus apply to our mission where Jesus says in John 14:12-14 — 12 "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it."
We pray to "Let our light so shine before others, that they may see our good works which will glorify You, our Father, in heaven."
We continue to supplicate many more requests in the name of Jesus where He said in Matthew 7: 7-8 — 7"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened."
And with this, we humbly ask for the following:
• For unbelief to melt away in all of our interactions with others on the mission
• To have the courage that young David had when he faced Goliath – that nothing would ever inhibit or cause us to depart in fear – that NOTHING would stop us in delivering the message of the Mercy, Love and Forgiveness – the true message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
• To never let our fleshy pride get in our way so that we constantly put forth a "Christ – like" attitude of humility and selfless love in all that we do
• To NOT back down from any advisory in or out of the faith – to stand upon the true Word of God and not falter in any way by misrepresenting the Truth found in the God's Word
• To speak for the LORD – never from our fleshy selves – that in every situation, the words that come from our mouths would be identical to what our Lord – Jesus would say.
With all these things, we ask by the Power of Holy Spirit and in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach – Jesus the Christ, our LORD and SAVIOR – AMEN.

"Our KING comes riding the strength of His victory! All is set. All is ready. The Heavens are rending! Our KING approaches! He comes! He comes! And the strength of Heaven comes with Him! Though many are called, few are chosen; for the chosen are those who have answered His call. Are you one of them?"– Margaret Blake, 1/11/20Posted: January 12, 2020 in Bride of Jesus Instructions: An "Event" Approaches, Chosen, Hope in God as your shield from the enemy
Hello everyone! This morning, January 11, 2020, I received the following word and vision. Please take this word and vision to the Lord for confirmation.
Margaret Blake
I saw a horse; mighty white and muscular; fierce and majestic. It pawed the earth in battle readiness and upon its back sat JESUS, the ONE who is our LORD and our KING. He sat as one in the fullness of authority. In His right hand was a drawn sword. He turned and looked at the vast army of riders assembled behind Him; and I felt in my spirit the communication of His strength and power to those who rode with Him. The atmosphere was charged with anticipation of the forthcoming battle as His strength and power rippled through the horses like an enduring wave, while the faithful who sat upon these steeds of might, fixed their eyes upon their KING and set their faces like flint.
The gauntlet of The Lord has been thrown down! The sickle has been put to the harvest. The Lord is mounted and His riders with Him. The horses carry
the majesty of their KING and LORD in their stride. With great strength the Army of Heaven assembles. The dawning of the Day of the Lord has arrived!
The Lord turns and looks about Him with the greatness of the Son of the Most High GOD. His eyes flash the power of His intent and lays hold of the gaze of all who ride with Him. He is their Commander-in-Chief; the Son of GOD; The Lion of Judah! Those with Him, wearing white robes, sit also upon white horses; their numbers beyond the count of man. As one they ride with their KING, who wears draped upon His shoulders, a robe, dipped in blood,
red as crimson which flows out around Him. Upon His thigh is written KING of Kings and LORD of Lords. There is none like Him. The majesty of His
presence catches their breath as they fix their eyes upon Him!
Our LORD comes! Our KING comes riding the strength of His victory! His unsheathed sword flashes the power of Heaven, charging the atmosphere both in Heaven and on earth with battle worship and victory cries. Who is like unto our GOD! Who can stand against Him!
Love flows out of His great heart toward His people on earth, signalling to many Heaven's approach. The alarms are given; the warnings are released as His love fills His people on earth with His presence, and the power of His might strengthens our battle stance.
All is set. All is ready. The Heavens are rending! Our KING approaches! He comes! He comes! And the strength of Heaven comes with Him!
Though many are called, few are chosen; for the chosen are those who have answered His call. Are you one of them?
For the Lord God will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded:
therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be
1 Oh, that You would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains
might shake at Your presence,
2 as when the melting fire burns, as the fire causes the waters to boil,
to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble
at Your presence!
Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction
from the Almighty shall it come.
7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch
unto prayer.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and
if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the
gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the
sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the
keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

We have cooks ready in the following areas where we are specifically looking for Diners:
Aberuthven x 1
Auchterarder x 1 (not available until end of June)

Teresa Davies, the 'swinging vicar', says the church is too 'hung up' about sex. Ever since Dawn French burst on to television as the larger-than-life Vicar of Dibley, Church of England congregations have slowly become used to the idea of a new breed of women priests with a markedly different — and some would say commendably less stuffy — approach to the ministry. Her parishioners in Welton, Northamptonshire, were even prepared to make Christian allowance for the fact that she could be late for services and sometimes appeared so tipsy she had trouble standing unaided.

Love September and its vibe. It feels also in this month selection: an essential Toshifumi Hinata comp, new Mood Hut and Dazion's remix of 'Tikitaka', double-combo from Chillera and many more fantastic releases.
Toshifumi Hinata – Broken Belief [Music From Memory]
An essential release – Chee Shimizu selected ten tracks from Toshifumi Hinata's catalogue for this compilation on Amsterdam label. The vibe here really feels the same like on the earliest MFM records. Very dramatic, beautiful sounds, memorable pieces played in a lot of mixes by the likes Young Marco, Chris Kontos and many others, finally on one record. Love it!
CZ Wang & Neo Image – Just Off Wave / Open Mic Beat [Mood Hut]
The track of the summer 2019 with no doubt. Pender Street Steppers played the most memorable set of this year edition of Brave! Factory festival and this particular track was a pure magic.
Low Jack – Virgin Traf 22 / Grass 29 [Editions Gravats]
Pumping, tense 7″ – so much energy squeezed into these two short tracks. B-side is a fave.
Tamburá – Tikitaka Remixes [Kalahari Oyster Cult]
A hidden gem from 1994 is back in three reinterpretations, the Dazion remix is a massive hit, pure shamanizm.
Chillera – Pro Fun [Muscut]
The most touring underground Ukrainian band? Probably, yes! Muscut heavy-hitting trio is back with a fresh 10″
Mlin Patz – Sunlimit [Muscut]
This is "a solo project of Chillera band member Polina Matskevych (electric guitar), an outlet for her experiments with sound collages, field recordings and dub sound — all accompanied by a warm southern guitar sound."
Accident du Travail – live at Cafe OTO [vlek]
Melange, soothing sounds for a contemlative mood.
CEO Of Everything – Всего [Incompetence]
A conceptual and very solid project of Andrew Lee (Interchain, Obgon). Just read its description: "The first release contains 6 tracks, which are concise and abstract like electronic document circulation, unpredictable like unscheduled inspections, emotional like first meeting and long-awaited like a 13th salary. Surely, every each of them is a hit, which cannot be otherwise, as the success for the CEO is important in everything — both in business and in art."
Various Artists – Night City Life compiled by Ilan Pdahtzur [Spacetalk]
London-based digger Ilan compiled "a killer collection of 1980s synthesizer songs inspired by Ilan's admiration for the glow of London's late night skyline"
Fantastic Man – Solar Surfing [Kitjen]
Mic Newman is finally back in a fantastic shape: three fresh cuts, jumping and hypnotic. Can't stop dancing after it.
AIR LQD – Repeat Itself [Unknown Precept]
Belgian groove-maker brewed his second album of hard-hitting cold and minimal sounds. A monster!
Edit Service Special Delivery Vol 5 by Ólta Karawane
Russian edit specialists landed on a perfect label to show their craft.

The La`s
The La`s (Go!
Discs/London) (STAR)(STAR)(STAR)(STAR)
With a dozen great pop tunes in under 36 minutes, the La`s sound as though they couldn`t care less about the latest trend in England. The quartet`s thick Liverpudlian accents and roughly strummed acoustic guitars sound invitingly unscrubbed and raw. Songwriter Lee Mavers mixes Billy Bragg- style punk folk, early Fleetwood Mac-style blues, skiffles, dance-hall ditties and Merseybeat guitar jangle without strain or contrivance. His terse lyrics convey the restlessness and cynicism of English youth, but the rapture of his melodies provides a way out. Even the nearly 8-minute-long ''Lookin`
Glass'' doesn`t overstay its welcome, while ''There She Goes,'' ''Doledrum''
and the aptly titled ''Timeless Melody'' sound like minor classics. This is the kind of wonderful record Ray Davies and the Kinks were making in the late `60s, while the rest of the world was jumping on the acid-rock bandwagon. Similarly, Lee Mavers is following his heart while the rest of England is recycling house music. The Kinks fell into commercial decline while making the best albums of their lives. Let`s hope the La`s get what they deserve.

Girl in the mirror: the strange unravelling of Paris Jackson
Lawsuits, family rifts and an adolescence lived on Twitter: what's next for the King of Pop's daughter? By Will Pavia
Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are," a family lawyer said.
"It sounds more like a boy thing," an unnamed acquaintance suggested to a reporter from a New York tabloid newspaper. And according to her mother, she had "a lot going on". These were the various reactions to the news that Paris Jackson had attempted to take her own life.
Everyone agreed that it was not easy to be adolescent. She had exams to take, there was apparently some bullying at school and a disagreement at home about not being allowed to attend a Marilyn Manson concert. "That conversation escalated quickly," she wrote on Twitter on Tuesday evening, and then: "I wonder why tears are salty."
But above and beyond the

Canberra Pet Rescue needs your help to keep reaching wildlife and domestic animals in bushfire-affected zones
Volunteers from local charity Canberra Pet Rescue have been venturing deep into bushfire-affected areas to deliver pet food, stock feed and veterinary supplies to the owners of domestic animals, but also to wildlife.
They have so far delivered feed and supplies to Nerriga, Braidwood, Tallaganda, Charleys Forest, Araluen, Mongarlowe, Monga, Tomboye, Cobargo, Yowrie and Majors Creek.
They will continue to deliver to these areas as requested, and are now getting calls for help from the Snowy Monaro and Bega Valley districts.
But unless they can find dedicated, reliable 4WD transport, they won't be able to continue their work.
The group has also been ferrying in volunteer vets to treat sick and injured animals in bushfire areas, spokeswoman Carolyn Mueller said.
"Most of the pet owners and farmers we are helping have lost everything in the bushfires and are cut off from the shops and towns, so we are their only way to get access to pet food, feed and supplies," she said.
"The wildlife have no water or food sources, so we are working with communities to put out and refill water dishes and food. Again, we are their only source of water and food."
Canberra Pet Rescue, a small, registered charity, has now launched its own bushfire appeal to keep the aid getting through.
It has also asked if anyone in the community had lend it a 4WD vehicle to continue the work.
"With the support of the Rural Fire Service, the State Emergency Service and local police, we travel to a different area almost daily, using the volunteers' own 4WD vehicles, to deliver urgently needed animal food, supplies and veterinary services, at no cost," Ms Mueller said.
"Now that people are returning to work after the Christmas break, vehicles are often not available and the animals must wait yet longer for food, water and veterinary attention."
Ms Mueller said the group had deductible good recipient status with the Australian Tax Office and "100 per cent of money and products donated are going directly to the animals impacted by these bushfires".
"We are all volunteers and receive no government funding, relying solely on donations," she said.
The Canberra Pet Rescue animal Bushfire Appeal had by Thursday raised more than $28,000.
It says every $5000 provides more than seven tonnes of food for animals.
That could comprise more than six tonnes of hay for horses, goats, alpacas and other livestock; 600 kilograms of wildlife mix and more than 200 kilograms of food for cats, dogs, birds and poultry.
The group also accepts donations of pet food, bedding, natural materials to make joey pouches and veterinary supplies, all of which are stored in a temporary warehouse in Canberra.

Anticardiolipin Antibody Isotype Determination in Amniotic Fluid of Pregnant Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and/or Antiphospholipid Syndrome ()
Objective: To determine the levels and isotypes of aCl, as well as anti beta 2 glycoprotein 1 (antiβ2-GP1) antibodies in serum and amniotic fluid of pregnant patients with SLE and/or APLS, and healthy pregnant women serving as a control group. Material and Methods: We analyzed serum and amniotic fluid of pregnant patients with SLE and/or APLS, and of healthy pregnant women through ELISA. Results were compared using a Student's T test. Results: 6 of 13 patients (46.1%), 5 with SLE and one with primary APLS had antiphospholipid antibodies in amniotic fluid. Two patients had IgG aCl and 4 patients had antiβ2-GP1 (one of them also showing IgM) in amniotic fluid. In serum, 4 patients (30%) had antiphospholipid antibodies present (one IgG aCl and three anti β2-GP1) as opposed to none in the control group having antiphospholipid antibodies in amniotic fluid. Only one control had IgM aCl in serum. Antiβ2-GP1 in the amniotic fluid of patients showed a statistically significant value when compared to controls. Conclusion: aCl and antiβ2-GP1 may be present in the amniotic fluid of patients with and without a history of fetal loss. The presence of IgM aCl and antiβ2-GP1 in amniotic fluid suggests its localized production.

Feeling Insecure about the SECURE Act?
August 1, 2019 By Sage Advisory
by Andy Poreda, Research Analyst at Sage Advisory
After the SECURE Act passed quickly through the House of Representatives on May 23 with near-unanimous support, it has unfortunately stalled in the Senate. All signs point to Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as the likely culprit. Cruz has voiced frustration over certain provisions that were removed, such as allowing individuals to use tax-advantaged savings in 529 college accounts to pay for home-schooling expenses, apprenticeships, and other educational programs. However, these provisions were stealthily removed at the last minute from the final bill, causing outrage among certain politicians, including Senator Cruz. Another group that has voiced disapproval, and in some cases – extreme frustration, has been the financial services community.
One area of contention is the safe harbor component of the SECURE Act, which was designed to increase the availability of annuities for retirees. Currently, when a retirement plan sponsor selects an insurer to offer annuities to its retirees, the plan sponsor is on the hook for any liabilities associated with an insurer's inability to make guaranteed payments. Hence, many plan sponsors are reluctant to offer annuities at all, with only 12% providing annuities as a distribution option, according to a Callan 2019 Defined Contribution Trends Study. The SECURE Act's safe harbor rule essentially frees plan sponsors of this liability if they select insurers that meet certain guidelines. Many critics have argued this rule essentially grants insurers a license to run away with people's money. In their minds, annuity products are far too complex and costly, and therefore any benefit from the potential utility they could provide is completely eroded.
While we at Sage can understand this sentiment, we believe it's important to provide retirees with annuity options, especially deferred fixed income products such as a Qualified Longevity Annuity Contract. A recent Transamerica survey discovered that the average 60-year-old has only $172,000 saved in various retirement accounts. In today's low-interest-rate environment, $172,000 may not be enough to purchase an annuity that would provide a significant income stream, as $172,000 provides a 60-year-old female about $800 monthly in a single-life-only annuity policy. However, if that same woman withdrew the money from her 401(k) plan, she would likely run out of money sometime in her 80s, depending on the portfolio's allocation and returns. The Society of Actuaries predicts that men have a 20% chance of reaching age 90, while women have a 32% chance. Therefore, we must enable individuals to pool life longevity risk, and as it stands now, annuities are the only viable option to hedge against a longer life. Limiting them would be a huge mistake.
The other big topic that has negatively swayed public opinion on the SECURE Act is the elimination of the "stretch IRA" provision. Current estate planning laws allow for individuals to pass down IRA accounts to their beneficiaries, who can then continue to accrue tax-deferred returns while being required to take out only minor distributions over their lifetime. The SECURE Act forces non-spouse beneficiaries to withdraw all funds within a 10-year period (though minor beneficiaries get 10 years after turning 18). The SECURE Act's treatment of stretch IRAs would have resulted in a windfall of tax revenue that was intended to fund other SECURE Act measures; conversely, it would also adversely affect the wealthy – so it is no surprise that it is on the chopping block. President Obama unsuccessfully tried for years during his tenure to kill the policy, viewing it as a tax-break for the wealthy and their heirs. It's likely that many individuals have factored in the provision when making their estate-planning decisions, and no one likes it when someone changes the rules midway through a game.
Aside from the fairness issue, the retirement situation in the United States is so disastrous for millions of people that we need to find ways to set up the average American for financial success in retirement. Since 73% of inheritance gifts total less than $50,000 (with only 2% being greater than $1 million, according to the Federal Reserve Board's Survey of Consumer Finance), and because IRA accounts represent only a portion of inheritances, it is likely very few individuals will be severely impacted.
As might be expected, the bottom half of households ranked by wealth are only getting 3% of total inheritance transfers. These families represent those that are least set up for success financially in retirement, not the ones that are receiving large inheritances. Congress must attempt to be revenue-neutral on this bill and not add further to the national debt, so the IRA stretch provision ultimately seems like a reasonable casualty. Financial advisors will likely be able to help their clients adapt anyway, as there are other products readily available in estate planning. Life insurance products and charitable remainder trusts are also tax-deferred investments and may make more sense in the future depending on the situation. Changes in estate planning tactics will likely lead to Congress not fully realizing the anticipated $15.7 billion in tax revenue from elimination of the stretch IRA, but that will be an issue for them to figure out later when the dust settles.
According to the U.S. Government Accountability Office, 48% of Americans aged 55 and older have nothing saved for retirement. We are witnessing a crisis, and we need to act now. The SECURE Act may not be a panacea, but the myriad of benefits certainly outweighs the perceived negative effects. Hopefully the select few who still oppose the bill will try to instead focus on the positives, such as removing barriers for multi-employer 401(k) plans, implementing tax credits for small businesses to encourage 401(k) plan creation, and eliminating age limits on contributions to 401(k) accounts. The longer we wait, the more dire America's retirement picture will become.

From COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE #1590:
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
- Arthur C. Clarke
I always liked that
Arthur C. Clarke
quote, though I couldn't tell you where it's from if my life depended on it. I do recall I first saw it in an issue of
written by
Roy Thomas
from a plot by
Harlan Ellison
, a year or two before I met either of those fine gentlemen who were and remain inspirations to me in my own life and writings. Following my week of frustrating computer tribulations, which often found me staring in fear and dismay at an uncooperative device I understand as poorly as the ambitious Mickey Mouse understood his sorcerous master's powers, Clarke's assertion rings exceptionally true for me.
Sometimes, however, magic is just magic, wonderment sufficient unto itself. That's the overwhelming vibe I get from
Charles M. Schulz
; $28.95). Yes, of course, Schulz was a genius who brilliantly constructed a world as basic, complex, and fantastic as any real childhood could be. Yes, Fantagraphics poured its decades of experience producing outstanding works of comics art and commentary into what's arguably its finest publication ever. Yet, for all the obvious toil Schulz put into his groundbreaking comic strip and that Fantagraphics put into its presentation of that strip, this beautiful, beautiful book feels like magic. It practically glows as I hold it.
The heart and soul of this grand tome are the Peanuts strips. The half-century since their original appearances hasn't diminished their humor and their truth. I smiled at most of them and laughed at loud at many. As entertainment, thoughtful entertainment, they stand the test of time.
The comics fan in me was fascinated by the introduction of key characters and running gags. Schulz was a veritable master of time and space, his child stars aging at whatever pace best suited their usefulness to his comic strip.
THE COMPLETE PEANUTS would be a prized treasure if it did no more than collect Schulz's comic strips, but Fantagraphics did the artist and his work further honor by presenting them in as handsome a volume as I've ever seen and surrounding them with informative supplemental text.
Some have criticized this volume's cover as being too morose, but I thought designer
's choices of image and colors fit the "Charlie Brown angst" of the early 1950s. His front and end pages likewise captured the joys of childhood in the oft-colorless post-war America. Those were quietly happy times for our land, a fiery war behind us and a cold one only beginning.
Garrison Keillor
's introduction sets a loving and respectful tone. PEANUTS was warm-and-fuzzy good times, but it was a serious work as well. Keillor encourages us to appreciate both aspects of Schulz's genius.
The presentation of the strips is immaculate. Three dailies per 6-1/2" by 8" page, surrounded by enough empty space to allow a reader to focus on them one by one without losing the sense of flow from strip to strip.
Almost three hundred pages later, following the last strip of 1952, the supplemental material kicks in. David Michaelis, who is writing the first full-scale biography of Schulz contributes a fine essay on the artist's life and career.
We get a 1987 Schulz interview conducted by
Richard Marschall
Gary Groth
. The riveting discussion reveals a cantankerousness the cartoonist rarely displayed in public forums.
The volume concludes with a wonderfully obsessive index to the PEANUTS strips of 1950-1952. Want to read the ones involving comic books? You'll find them on pages 17, 21, 38, 91, 106, 122, 205, 252, 255, 260, and 265. It's a fun and useful feature.
In this corner of CBG, I rate review items on a scale of zero to five Tonys. That scale isn't big enough for what is perhaps the most significant publishing project in comicdom today. Joining an exceedingly select group of books, THE COMPLETE PEANUTS earns six Tonys. If you literally can only afford to spend thirty bucks on comics this month, this book is what you should spend it on. Then you should start saving for
the next volume
A different kind of magic informs
DC Comics
; $49.95). The hardcover collects the first 19 adventures of "Earth's First Spaceman," the legendary cosmic hero created by equally legendary editor
Julius Schwartz
, writer
Gardner Fox
, and pencillers
Mike Sekowsky
Carmine Infantino
. The magic is the magic of the imaginative concepts Schwartz and Fox brought to the stories - published from 1958 to 1960 - concepts translated from the sci-fi and fantasy pulps of earlier decades, but no less the fascinating for it.
Reviewing DC's archive editions is always a nostalgic delight. The formula plots I would find boring in comics created for today's market are charming diversions in these Adam Strange tales. True, these stories rarely varied from "Adam catches a teleportation beam to the distant planet Rann, finds the planet in peril, saves Rann, fades out before he and girlfriend Alanna can get too busy," but, even now, the thoughtful twists Schwartz and Fox worked into their formula strike me as exceedingly clever. Those gentlemen knew what they were doing.
Ride with me on the space waves of nostalgia...
Reading THE ADAM STRANGE ARCHIVES, I realize how few of these comic books I ever saw on a newsstand. DC's distribution was very good in my Cleveland neighborhood, so I have to assume the copies were snatched up quickly by other comic-book readers poaching in my hunting territory. The nerve of them.
MYSTERY IN SPACE #63 [November, 1960] was the first I recall seeing/buying and its "The Weapon That Swallowed Men" is one of the last tales in this first Adam Strange collection. The sparse cover depicting our hero being dissolved and sucked into an alien vacumn cleaner was too haunting to resist.
(The cover is misidentified as being drawn by
Gil Kane
and Joe Giella, as are several other covers in the volume. It's so clearly pencilled by Infantino that I'm embarrassed for my friends at DC, as well as thinking, not for the first time, that the company made a major mistake when it failed to retain the services of production manager
Bob Rozakis
, who'd have caught this error in a heartbeat. A fifty-dollar book like this deserves the very best at every stage of preparation.)
Infantino is rightfully thought of as THE Adam Strange artist, but there's no denying the raw energy of the Sekowsky-drawn tales. Had I seen these three issues of SHOWCASE, which is where Adam made his debut before headlining
, I would have ranged as far as my bicycle and my parents would have allowed in search of subsequent issues. Inexplicably, Sekowsky's biographical data is absent from the volume's "Contributors" pages.
The stories? The sci-fi ideas come fast and furious, many of them presaging characters and sequences from the super-hero titles for which the creators would be best known. Adam is as cool-headed as any hero, as observant as the Batman at his best, as brilliant as Doc Savage in turning the tales on the villains. And Strange's motives were very accessible to my younger self: his obvious love of adventure, his easy acceptance of his responsibility to help his fellow men, and his love for Alanna. By late 1960s, I had started to notice the cute blonde who'd moved to our parish from somewhere "down South" and the, ahem, rapidly developing charms of one of my other classmates at Sts. Phillip and James. I'd have jumped on a hundred teleportation beams to be their hero.
The "Zeta-beams" always hit Earth in the southern hemisphere. Doubtless Schwartz and Fox had some scientific reason for this, but it would have been worth doing just for the "cool" factor of seeing Adam in so many exotic regions of our own world. If I were writing Adam Strange stories today, and if he were still commuting to Rann, I'd probably make it a two-way commute with Alanna coming to visit him as well. In the DC Universe, well, at least in the DCU I knew and loved, there were wonders to be found and incredible perils to face in the lands beyond the United States. After Adam saved her on Rann, Alanna could save him right back on Earth.
One more quibble before I hand out the Tonys. The coloring on THE ADAM STRANGE ARCHIVES left a lot to be desired. Maybe DC was following the original colors - remember I never saw these stories in their original publications - but Adam's hair color, which I am fairly certain was blond, is an odd red-orange combination. There were also multiple hair and costume colors for Alanna, sometimes in the same story. As a firm believer that everything in a comic book should be in support of the story, I only notice the color when it is exceedingly good or excruciatingly bad. This volume's coloring isn't the latter, but it was "wrong" enough for me to notice it and be taken out of the stories, albeit momentarily. Again, I expect better from a fifty-dollar book.
THE ADAM STRANGE ARCHIVES: VOLUME 1 is great fun which suffers from editorial and production mistakes. The mistakes are why it's getting four-and-a-half Tonys and not the full five I really wanted to give it. Maybe Adam can figure out some clever way to fix such problems before his second volume is published.
Briefly noted:
; $2.25) is a heartwarming and heartbreaking done-in-one ish by writers
Fiona Avery
J. Michael Straczynski
with art by penciller
John Romita Jr.
and inker
Scott Hanna
. In "Vibes," the worlds at risk are more personal than life, the universe, and everything, which is a wonderful change-of-pace. The reunion of Peter and Mary Jane Parker is tested by her trip to Hollywood to read for a part and, I suspect, will be further tested by a decision she makes therein. On the spandex side of the issue, Spider-Man deals with a street crime and tries to achieve the best result he can from the situation. Both are moving sequences, both ring very true. I've been in the same position as MJ and made the same decision. I hope it works out better for her.
Were I one to quibble - heaven forbid - I might point out that Peter's opening speech, which might work wonderfully coming out of the mouth of a talented actor, falls very flat on the printed page. But I'm just so knocked out by the rest of the writing and the as-good artwork, that I'm barely going to mention that and get right to awarding AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #505 the full five Tonys.
The twists keep coming in AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #2 (Marvel; $2.99) by writers
Kurt Busiek
Fabian Nicieza
with art by
Barry Kitson
(breakdowns) and
Gary Erskine
(finishes). The Thunderbolts may (or may not) be working to protect the world. The Avengers may (or may not) be doing the right thing trying to stop said team of supposedly reformed villains. Two issues into this series and I'm not really sure who I should be rooting for and who I should trust. That's cool. On the down side, the pin-up-style cover is boring and the interior art was better when Kitson was doing full pencils. This one gets a very respectable four Tonys.
ADV Manga
; $9.99) completes the story of Japanese schoolgirl Nana Suzuki and her six magically-created doppelgangers. Writer Yasuhiro Imagawa and artist Azusa Kunihiro bring the comical tale to its close with heart and style, as Nana and her "sisters" face numerous challenges in their quest to get into the same high school as the boy they love.
ADV suggests SEVEN OF SEVEN for readers 13 and up, doubtless due to some of the salacious humor which pops up from time to time. I didn't find this any worse than what can be viewed on network TV during what was called "the family hour," so it's not an issue for me. However, parents should check out this and other manga before giving it to their kids or the friends of their kids. What flies in Japan might not fly in the United States.
With that caveat in place, I happily award SEVEN OF SEVEN the full five Tonys. It's a great series and I look forward to seeing the
anime on which it's based
The above column first appeared in COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE #1590 [May 7, 2004], which shipped April 19. The cover story reported on CBG's coming switch from a weekly newspaper to a monthly magazine. This should be old news to TOT readers as I devoted the
April 21st edition of the column
to this story.
The above column also marks the last time you'll see anything get SIX Tonys. I'll still be handing out "Tonys" here and in CBG, but, for design purposes, the monthly will be going with a scale of zero to five Tonys. The next item on my "things to do" list after sending this TOT off to Justin is to rework my ratings descriptions to fit the new scale.
CBG has also redesigned the floating Tony heads as part of its extreme magazine makeover. You'll see the new models for the first time in CBG #1595. I love them a whole bunch.
TOT will be adopting the same ratings scale I use for my CBG columns, but won't be using those new Tony heads. Instead, my hope is that some of the amazing artists who faithfully read this column will doodle their own version of my smiling/scowling continence and send said drawings to my in exchange for my admiration, gratitude, and willingness to plug your latest work or website.
You can draw a single Tony head...or you can draw a series of six Tony heads with expression denoting everything from the worst of the worst to the best of the best. Have at it!
I wrote my first column for the new CBG monthly last weekend and fiddled with it a bit more on Monday. I'm pleased the column retains the personality of the weekly columns.
The changes I've made to the column itself are so subtle most returning readers won't even notice them. The opening comments are going to be strictly comics-related, a concession to my going from 52 weekly columns to a mere 12 monthly ones.
I won't be reviewing periodical comics to any great extent in the new format. When I do, they will be first issues, story arcs, or comics available for ordering from their publishers. By way of example, I reviewed SHE-HULK #1 and #2 for the first monthly TIPS. Together, they represented the first issue of the revived title and a story arc. I also reviewed
#4 because it can be ordered from the
Dark Horse
Expect reviews of
graphic albums and novels
in the new monthly column...as well as hardcover and trade paperback collections...and comics-related
comics-related fanzines and websites
. My rule of thumb in reviewing things will be the easy availability of those things to my readers.
I will be doing some other writing for CBG, but exactly what isn't something which we can sit down and work out in the midst of wrapping up the weeklies and launching the monthly. Rest assured both the CBG crew and yours truly would like me to be as much a part of the new format as possible.
The CBG switch has had a domino effect on this online column, albeit a temporary one. Justin and I have been knocking ourselves out getting TOT to you on a nigh-daily basis, but we need to build up lead time to keep things running smoothly.
The best solution I could come up with was to go to an "every other day" schedule until I can start getting TOT to Justin a full week before it posts. That shouldn't take long, especially since I haven't yet sought or found work to replace the 40 weekly columns I won't be writing for CBG.
Thanks for your continued enthusiastic support of our efforts. I'll be back on Sunday with more stuff.

Burn your money before buying any comic receiving this rating. It doesn't *necessarily* mean there's absolutely nothing of value here - though it *could* - but whatever value it might possess shrinks into insignificance before its overall awfulness.
Buy something else. Maybe I found something which wasn't completely dreadful in the item, but not enough for me to recommend it when there are better comics available. I only want what's best for you, my children.
Basic judgment call. I found some value, but not enough to recommend it. My review should give you enough info to decide if you want to take a chance on it. Are you feeling lucky today, punk? Well, are you?
This denotes something I find perfectly respectable. There are better books out there, but I wouldn't regret buying this item. Based on my review, you should be able to determine if it's of interest to you. Let the Force guide you.
I recommend anything earning this rating. Unless you don't like the genre, subject matter, or past work of the creators, I believe you'll enjoy this item. Isn't it uncanny how I can look right into your soul that way?
Anything getting this rating is among the best comicdom has to offer. You should buy/read this, even if the genre/subject matter doesn't appeal to you. It's for your own good. Me, I live for comics and books this good...but not in a pathetic "Comic-Book Guy" sort of way.

According to Ku's note, the iPhone 2020 lineup will include three major changes: "(1) the all-new form factor design, (2) 5G support, and (3) camera function upgrades." Some of these changes, such as 5G support, were known. Earlier this year, Ko noted that Apple will offer 5G for all three major iPhone models next year, and that having something as vague as "upgrading camera functions" is practical for any iPhone version.
But the new design will be important because Apple has slowed dramatically from the rate at which new form factors are introduced. The company originally launched devices in the retail label cycle, with a major redesign for a year, followed by improvement of this design - the year "S" - the following year, but this pace has slowed recently. The design of the iPhone 6 lasted for four full years, appearing in the 6, 6 S, 7 and 8. The iPhone X design seems to be following this trend, heading into its third year with a similar iPhone 11 lineup expected to be announced this week.
The redesign details are expected to be slimmer, although an earlier report from Kuo indicates that Apple will adjust the screen sizes for the impressive OLED phones, down to a 5.4-inch panel (compared to the 5.8-inch iPhone XS) on the smaller screen. And the screen up to 6.7 inches on the largest (compared to 6.5 inches iPhone XS Max).
Another report from Bloomberg earlier this week claims that Apple will also introduce on-screen fingerprint technology for the iPhone 2020 as well as this feature will work in conjunction with the current Face Face scanning device for more protection.
