A slice of local and architectural history is on the market for $3.8 million. Sitting on 4.3 acres, the "Rothers Barrows" house at 52 Arreton Road is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the best central New Jersey examples of the Arts and Crafts style.
Current owners Scott and Jeri Schaefer purchased the home in 2000 for $2.55 million. They previously lived in a newly constructed home in West Windsor, but were enchanted by the 1919 house designed by Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre.
"We had always said that our dream home would be reminiscent of friends' homes who live in England in the countryside," Jeri Schaefer said. "My husband was taken with the architecture of the home. I was taken with the four acres of gardening that could be done."
Since then the Schaefers have been updating the six-bedroom house. The house previously operated on well water and septic and has since been connected to water and sewer lines. All the systems are modern, including expanded central air.
"It was a whole interior renovation, including new roof and new driveway," Schaefer said. "It was a labor of love that we undertook. It's a historic home and we wanted to keep in the style and intent of the architect."
Assisting in the redesign was the New York-based firm Marshall Watson Interiors. The attic was renovated into a gym and TV room, and the Schaefers constructed a new pool house. The property also features a tennis court and patio.
In keeping with the house's original style, the homeowners commissioned Doylestown-based Moravian Pottery & Tile Works to produce handmade tiles. Henry Chapman Mercer founded the pottery in 1898, and he also collaborated with house's architect. Today, Mercer's pottery is a "working museum" maintained by the Bucks County parks department.
The dining room floor has original Moravian tile and its design can be found at the museum. The Schaefers added Moravian tiles to various renovated rooms, including the kitchen, pool house, and the new wood ceiling of the foyer, which was featured in Woodworking Magazine.
The Moravian tile is just one component of Rothers Barrows' Arts and Craft style. The National Historic Register also notes the house's wrought iron hardware and carved dining room mantel — all incorporating pre-industrial handcrafted materials.
"The walls are two feet thick and made of stone and plaster. You really feel like you're living in a castle, one that is warm and comfortable," Schaefer said.
The house was once the centerpiece of a 117-acre equestrian estate owned by Donald G. Herring and his wife, Jessie Markham Herring. Herring graduated from Princeton University in 1907 and studied in Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He returned to Princeton to serve on the university faculty and coach football before returning to Europe in the Army Air Corps.
The house was built in 1919 after Herring returned home, and architect Wilson Eyre had designed a huge house triple the size of what was ultimately built. Horse breeding was centered in the northwest part of Princeton township then, and Herring built a show ring and 960-yard race track. The estate hosted horse shows, parties, and dances for the Stony Brook Hunt Club, whose members included the Pardee and Poe families.
However, financially impacted by the Great Depression, the Herrings sold Rothers Barrows 20 years after the house's completion. Edmund Cook's Holder Corporation acquired the property in 1949 and subdivided the current 4.4 acres from the rest of the estate.
The Schaefers have hosted a number of community organizations at their house, as well as Thanksgiving gatherings with 50 people.
"It's a lovely house to have a party, whether a casual party at the pool or something more formal," Schaefer said. "Guests can wander through French doors down to the sunken bluestone patio and onto the grounds, to the koi pond."
Schaefer is the executive director of the university's Princeton Internships in Civic Service program and she is a past board president of the Jewish Family & Children's Service of Greater Mercer County. Husband Scott works in finance and is the current president of the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Mercer.
With her two children are out of the house, Schaefer is looking to downsize, though having lived in the area for 30 years she is not sure about the next destination. "We travel a lot. We're looking to stay local and we haven't made a decision," Schaefer said. "It's been a big privilege to be able to caretake the house. We would love to see another family who will be interested in doing that as well."
Zoning Board update
Of the two applications before the Zoning Board November 9, one was withdrawn and the other rescheduled.
The withdrawn application involved the office building at 338 Nassau Street, currently owned by the estate of architect Michael Graves. Developer Bill King of King Interests at 219 Nassau, is the contract purchaser, and he had requested the removal of a Zoning Board condition requiring the restoration of two apartment units totaling 1,200 square feet.
The building at 338 Nassau was originally residential and the Zoning Board previously approved the property's conversion into a 3,000-square-foot office building with a small retail component, a Michael Graves gift shop. According to King's attorney, Chris Tarr, as part of past approvals the deed was amended to stipulate the restoration of two apartment units if the property was sold. King likes the current building's commercial use, which would be complicated by the restoration of two residential units.
The applicants withdrew their request in light of the Zoning Board's response at the October 26 meeting, but they indicated an alternative plan to expand the building as a means to fulfill the deed condition. The proposal would adhere to bulk regulations and include raising the roof and installing a rear addition composed of two residential units. The property is currently assessed at slightly more than $1 million.
The second application for 428 Mount Lucas Road was rescheduled to Wednesday, December 14. The applicant is seeking variances to tear down the ranch and build a new house on the one-acre property. David Lang of D&P Private Lending LCC purchased the property last April from Victoria Hellen Covert and the estate of Rene Kessler for $400,000.

Josh Beckett looks to be finally finding his old form. Last night, he brought a no-hitter into the seventh and secured a 10-5 win over the Tigers. Beckett did not give up an earned run, struck out 9, and walked 2.
More importantly, this all looks like it might be part of a trend. Beckett has now thrown 4 quality starts in a row. 4. Plus some. Read that bit again, then move on to the stat lines preceding last night's: 7 innings, 3 hits, 1 ER; before that, 8, 5, 0; before that, 7, 4, 2. If that paragraph doesn't warm your heart, then there's just no hope for you.
And Beckett's isn't just an individual performance. It comes at an important point for the Sox staff, a potential watershed. We're 1/3 of the way through the season and thus far the starters have been a big disappointment. But things are shaking up. Jon Lester has put together two good starts in his last three. Daisuke has squeaked out a solid win and a not-terrible loss. Brad Penny has continued his success and allowed the Sox, comforted by the resurgence of their ace, to shop Penny more aggressively. From below, Buchholz and Smoltz are both pushing their way up and could potentially provide a shot in the arm of a rotation that's already picking up steam. All in all, with a little distance, it looks like Josh Beckett is starting to do what we thought he would---put the staff on his shoulders and carry them towards collective success. Every five days, there he is, shouldering the burden, making it okay that Daisuke only goes 5 and that Penny might get bounced a little earlier than he'd like, partly for the win, partly to save his arm (for others?). A good situation.
And if all that doesn't do it for you, read Adam Kilgore's excellent piece in yesterday's Globe on the success of Junichi Tazawa in AA Portland. I'll give you just a taste: "He has 57 strike outs in 61 1/3 innings, far and away the most innings on the team."
So yes, I woke up happy this morning. Tied for 1st, with the staff starting to do what we thought it might. And Josh Beckett to thank.

Issue # 8 of 43
By: David LeClaire
Strengthening Your Emotional Bank Account
Imagine the concept of an emotional bank account in your relationship. Of course it doesn't actually exist in any physical sense, but it helps to understand why some issues that appear to be small become so large.
Brandon has $12 in his bank account, and writes a $25 cheque. Not only would his cheque bounce, but his bank would penalize him just short of asking for his first born child. His little $25 cheque creates a penalty of approximately $20 simply because there were not enough deposits to cover it.
Negative comments, comming home late, or not asking for your partner's input regarding an important decision may seem like small things but can certainly disintegrate the peace and start a battle when the emotional bank account between a couple is low. Little mistakes and other relatively minor bumps in the road to harmony for couples can be overcome much more easily when the account is full. The account is full when both partners feel connected, supported, loved, and appreciated.
Deposits are made when sweet things are done for each other. When we forgive someone easily and quickly. When we compromised or gave up what we wanted so our partner could have something they wanted. Deposits are made when we share intimacy and sincere affection and appreciation.
When the account is low, chances are very few deposits have been made. There is a tension in the relationship, similar to when you're broke and not sure where any new money might come from. Little things become big things and our patience grows thin.
Criticism, blame, or displays of disrespect are common withdrawals. When we fail to show acceptance, or consideration, or when we disregard our partner's needs and interests, we make withdrawals. When he fails to call, when she points out his weaknesses, when he makes fun of her in public, withdrawals are made.
When couples fight often, their emotional accounts are typically low. Little things set them off. By putting effort into making more deposits and strengthening the account, couples have more patience, become more willing to compromise, and forgive each other more easily. If, as a couple, you are experiencing conflict on a regular basis and seemingly little problems are constantly becoming big problems, it is time to look at the ratio of deposits to withdrawals.
This is not about keeping a ledger. The objective is not to destroy the spontaneity and friendliness of your actions. Don't try to keep a balance sheet. Just strive to make more and more daily deposits. Avoid making excuses or rationalizing inconsiderate or hostile actions by telling yourself you can afford a few withdrawals. Acknowledge withdrawals as such when you make one, and genuinely apologize.
Remember, it is irrelevant if you think the account is strong if your partner doesn't feel the same way.
There's no master account because each of us have our own perception. And there's no real way of reaching a safe balance. You don't become a billionaire to where your relationship can withstand any withdrawal. Things like adultery or abuse can wipe out years of savings and leave your emotional account bankrupt.
Keep no notes, hold no mental list. Just commit to making more and more deposits and creating a strong emotional connection between you. Share why you love each other and regularly acknowledge the contribution your partner is to your life. Make it fun if you can. Do it to be silly, to be a friend, or to be a caring partner.
Remember, underneath most conflict between couples there is someone who isn't feeling loved enough, respected, appreciated, understood, or listened to. You have the ability to avoid arguing about specifics and approach the real problem. The conflicts that arise from a low account means there are significant deficiencies in one or more of these areas, and by talking with your partner, you will know specifically where your efforts need to be directed.

Wael Jassar Deals With Failed Romance In His Latest Single
Sometimes I like Wael Jassar, and other times I love him. As he releases his new single, I cannot help but like the man who has been all over the media. The romance and blues singer returns with a new soft love song about having a hell of a time trying to forget an ex. This is not the firs time, an Arab singer has a conversation with his heart. But Wael plugs more passion to it, than others.
This is one of the few times Wael releases a Lebanese song, he really sounds like he is feeling the pain of the past. It's not east to get over a past love….but Arabs are a bit more dramatic about it than most folks around the world.

- About this book
Two systems of governance, capitalism and democracy, prevail in the world today. Operating in partly overlapping domains, these systems influence and transform each other, but the nature of this interaction is often misunderstood -- largely because capitalism has not been recognized as a system of governance. Rejecting the simple definition "capitalism = actions of firms in markets," Harvard's Bruce R. Scott offers instead a conception of capitalism as a three-level system akin to organized sports, in which games (markets) are conducted according to rules administered by referees (regulators), which in turn are shaped and directed by sports' governing bodies (political authorities).
Tracing the evolution of capitalism from a variety of perspectives, Scott shows how governance has always been key to the system. Historically, capitalism was not a natural outgrowth of trade; it could not have emerged without political authorization for the creation of markets for land, labor, and capital. Urgently needing funds for military defense, regimes ceded some power to a new class of economic actors, spelling out their rights and responsibilities with corporate charters. The United States Constitution was anomalous in reserving to individual states the power to grant such charters, with the result that states compete to offer firms the least regulation. The Constitution also gave exceptional powers to the Supreme Court, which has interpreted the Constitution as mandating laissez-faire policies.
It is impossible to adequately understand capitalism without understanding the role played by governance. This book challenges the notion of a "universal" model of capitalism, particularly one based on the US system, and illuminates the broader frameworks upon which markets depend.
- About the authors
Professor Bruce Scott spent his entire professional career at Harvard Business School, except for 5 years spent with an affiliated school in Switzerland. During that Swiss interval, in the 1960s, he researched the role of French national planning on its industrial sector. This research played a significant role in the subsequent decision by the French government to discontinue its "indicative planning" for industry. At the same time it also reoriented all his subsequent work to the study of economic governance and economic strategies of nations as contrasted with firms. The fruits of that new orientation were first published by Springer Verlag in 2009 as a monograph called The Concept of Capitalism, and subsequently in its entirety as a 700 page book, also by Springer, called Capitalism, its Origins and Evolution as a System of Governance. Professor Scott made an abbreviated presentation of his ideas on the relationship between capitalism and democracy in the nation building process in the Libyan context at a TEDX meeting in Tripoli in February, 2012, a presentation which was attended by the Deputy Prime Minister and a number of cabinet members and which was taped for reuse by the TED organization.
Professor Scott is scheduled to teach a full semester course called Capitalism as a System of Governance at Harvard Extension School beginning in January 2013 (http://www.extension.harvard.edu/courses/capitalism-system-governance) . A full description of the course is available through the Extension School, including day by day reading assignments and suggested study questions. The course is built around readings from two primary sources; Capitalism, by Professor Scott, and Why Nations Fail, by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson (published by Crown Business). The basic thesis of the course is that capitalism has emerged only where limited monarchy and the rule of law have already prevailed, and thus with generally inclusive and therefore egalitarian institutions. Thus capitalism seems to date to Venice circa 1200. The basically complementary thesis of Acemoglu and Robinson is that "extractive" institutions and oppressive governance have characterized the failures. Acemoglu and Robinson argue that the first notable example of inclusive and relatively egalitarian institutions dates to England and its "glorious revolution" of 1688-89, which paved the way for the industrial revolution and economic progress. Capitalism is not featured in their account.
- Reviews
Professor Scott presents the development of capitalism as a political process, the result of conflicts among social actors, with capitalists and government officials as the main actors. While focused on the United States, this book has the great merit of showing that American capitalism was a contingent and not inevitable outcome, and that different balances of forces and different circumstances created distinct varieties of capitalism in other countries and historical moments. This book's insights deserve careful consideration from historians, social scientists, and all those who address economic issues in the political realm.

WASHINGTON — Over six years of bitter disagreements about how to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, President Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel kept running into one central problem: The two leaders never described their ultimate goal in quite the same way.
Mr. Obama repeats a seemingly simple vow: On his watch, the United States will do whatever it takes to "prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon." Mr. Netanyahu uses a different measure, saying Iran must be stopped from getting the "capability" that would allow it to become a "threshold nuclear state."
In his speech to a joint meeting of Congress on Tuesday, Mr. Netanyahu took that argument to the next level, contending that any accord that leaves Iran's nuclear infrastructure in place "doesn't block Iran's path to the bomb, it paves Iran's path to the bomb."
With that claim, Mr. Netanyahu has widened a once-semantic difference into a strategic chasm. If Mr. Obama goes ahead with the deal now on the table, it threatens to imperil the American-Israeli relationship for years to come. If he does not, he may be passing up the most audacious diplomatic gamble by an American leader since President Richard M. Nixon's opening to China.
For years, Mr. Obama and Mr. Netanyahu avoided direct discussion of the philosophic and practical differences between an Iran on the verge of having the ultimate weapon and an Iran actually possessing it. "It's a distinction with a huge difference," said Robert Einhorn, who helped formulate the administration's Iran strategy at the State Department and enforced the sanctions that helped force Tehran into the difficult negotiations that followed. "It defines two different approaches to dealing with Iran that today may be fundamentally irreconcilable."
Now, after Tuesday's speech, Mr. Obama must address the argument of why he can live with an Iran only a year away from a nuclear weapon. He inched toward it on Tuesday when, speaking at length to reporters about Iran after Mr. Netanyahu made his case, the president argued that the prime minister had no better plan to offer.
"If we're successful in negotiating, then, in fact, this will be the best deal possible to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," Mr. Obama said. "Nothing else comes close. Sanctions won't do it. Even military action would not be as successful as the deal that we have put forward."
But as his dire pronouncements about the future made clear, Mr. Netanyahu has simplicity and recent history on his side.
The essence of his case is that the only way to make sure Iran never gets a bomb is to wipe out every enrichment plant and reactor it might use to get one. It is a maximalist position based on a belief that Iran's long history of nuclear deception means that any facilities left in place would eventually be put to use.
To bolster his case, Mr. Netanyahu invoked one of the great failures of American counterproliferation efforts: The diplomatic attempt under two presidents, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, to talk North Korea into restrictions to keep the regime from producing nuclear weapons. The North Koreans agreed to disable some of their facilities, but, when things went sour with the Obama administration, they rebuilt.
"Within a few years, it got the bomb," Mr. Netanyahu said.
The problem with the dismantle-it-all approach is that the Iranians have made clear they would never sign such a deal. For all the suspicions swirling around Iran's program, the country is a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, which Iran argues gives it a "right to enrich."
So Mr. Obama's strategy has been to buy as much time as possible, which has worked well with Iran for two decades. No nation has spent more years seemingly trying to build a weapon but failing to get there. American intelligence agencies say that is because Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has never made the "political decision" to build a bomb.
But that is only part of the answer. The United States and its allies have done their part to slow Iran's efforts, blocking the shipment of needed technology, imposing sanctions on the country's oil exports, slipping faulty parts into its supply chain and attacking the country's nuclear facilities with one of the most sophisticated cyberweapons ever developed.
Mr. Obama's approach is based in part on a bet that time remains on America's side. Eventually, the administration's thinking goes, the clerical government in Iran will fall or be eased from power, and a more progressive leadership will determine that Iran does not need a weapon.
But that puts an implicit gamble at the heart of the accord: that the long-awaited change will occur within 15 years, when the deal would expire and Iran would be free to build 180,000 advanced centrifuges that the supreme leader spoke about last summer. (If Iran had that many machines to enrich uranium — a big if — it would have the capacity to make a bomb's worth of uranium every week or so.)
It is a gamble Mr. Obama thinks is worth it — especially since the alternative, bombing the Iranian facilities, would set back Tehran's program by only three or four years and drive its efforts fully underground.
The Nuclear Talks With Iran, Explained
What the United States and Iran want out of discussions over Iran's nuclear development.
In Mr. Netanyahu's critique, however, the administration is allowing far too much equipment to stay in place. His argument is bolstered by the shifting numbers: Three years ago, the administration was talking about letting a few hundred centrifuges spin in a "pilot plant," essentially a face-saving token capability. Then the figure rose to 1,500. Now, 4,000 to 6,500 centrifuges are under consideration.
The narrative, fueled by Mr. Netanyahu, that the United States is making concession after concession stings Secretary of State John Kerry, who was negotiating the accord in Switzerland as the prime minister spoke. But Mr. Kerry has declined to discuss the prospective deal as clearly as Mr. Netanyahu did, citing the confidentiality of the talks. That secrecy is costing him support every day, in Congress and from his allies in the Persian Gulf.
In fact, a case can be made that the number of spinning centrifuges is only one factor affecting how long it would take Iran to get to a bomb. If Iran ships enough of its fuel out of the country, in a deal with Russia that has largely been struck, officials say, there would be precious little nuclear fuel to enrich.
If the remaining centrifuges are connected to one another in ways that can produce only reactor-grade uranium, it would essentially limit Iran's options — as long as inspectors were present every few days or weeks, so that they could raise the alarm if the machines were reconfigured to make bomb fuel.
Timeline on Iran's Nuclear Program
Whether Iran is racing toward nuclear weapon capabilities is one of the most contentious foreign-policy issues challenging the West.
But those arguments require some knowledge of the physics of enriching uranium, and they will be hashed out in an environment where politics, not engineering, will dominate the debate. Mr. Kerry says he is ready for that. "We're not about to jump into something we don't believe can get the job done," he said while traveling in Europe on Monday.
The key, he said, was "intrusive inspections" and "all the insights necessary to be able to know to a certainty that the program is, in fact, peaceful."
And there lies the problem for the White House. It is easy to make verification measures sound tough, but it is hard to enforce them. Dennis B. Ross, who worked for Mr. Obama from 2009 to 2011 and focused on Iran, wrote recently that the deal must have "anywhere, anytime access to all declared and undeclared facilities."
As part of Mr. Obama's selling of the agreement, Mr. Ross argued, he should specifically describe how the United States would respond to any race for the bomb, including the use of military force.
For his part, Mr. Obama says the use of force is implicit in a promise he made two years ago that "we've got Israel's back."
Mr. Netanyahu once pretended to welcome those words. His speech on Tuesday is testament to the fact that, rightly or wrongly, he no longer believes them.

Nile has been appointed by Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank as their partner to run the Innovation Lab within Studio B.
Studio B is a new type of banking store on Kensington High Street (which makes it worth visiting in itself, especially if you like playing with technology and drinking great coffee). It's an inspiring and exciting environment, closer to an Apple store than a traditional bank branch, and dedicated to positive disruption.
The Innovation Lab is a unique space inside the store where the general public, B customers, technology partners, experts and charities come together to design and create meaningful services that make everyday life better.
As the Innovation Lab Partner within Studio B, Nile will be planning, coordinating and facilitating innovation in the lab to lead the design process. We love undertaking focussed 5 to 10-day design sprints, they're fun and realise huge amounts of value in a very short space of time.
We'll be running two sprints per month on average, creating a body of ideas which customers of B will help us to iterate and develop into concepts the Bank can take forwards.
In short, we're working on ways to make it possible for the next generation of customers to shape the next generation of banking.
Our methodology is design thinking and creative strategy. The combination of collaborating with expert partners and the public and our team's collective experience of innovation and proposition development in a wide range of settings will spark exciting new ideas and prototypes. Our Lab team's collective experience in financial services, tech companies such as Apple and Google, and outside the sector- healthcare, utilities, public sector, FMCG and travel – means we can bring knowledge from all kinds of sources and cross-pollinate ideas.
Over the next 3 months, we're planning to bring you relevant updates on our work in the Studio B Lab, specifically to share what we're learning about establishing and developing a successful innovation lab over time.

Without him, I'm skeptical. This would be ideal but unfortunately I live on the real world. Im not 100% found of this lineup either but we cant say much if we dont have anything to judge, they never released a song after all. If they ever release anything and it sucks, Ill probably just quit GNR and be okay with the classics, cause I dont really expect the miracle of Izzy getting back and even if he gets back, theres no guarantee the material will br any better than what we would get from this lineup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So … was that a rhetorical question?
Apparently, 241 people involved with P2 didn't think so: turning out for a sold-out conference at the Sofitel in Montréal at the end of September. They came from across Canada and the US, and from Australia, France and Switzerland to discuss and come up with answers to that question and the sub-topics – Why should people care? How can we get more people to care? And What would happen if people stopped caring?
From the opening plenary, which featured a world café on the theme; through the sessions, which covered topics such as: engaging Indigenous communities, spicing up a P2 process with more exciting communications and putting P2 principles to work following the Lac Mégantic disaster; to the keynote speeches; the conference found answers to those questions and opened up new discussions.
There was a lot of knowledge being mobilized, so for those of you who missed it, we've posted the session presentations online, along with resources, slides and session descriptions. There are also the videos of our two keynote speakers, J-P Gladu of the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business and Dicki Chhoyang, formerly of the Central Tibetan Administration.
It was, in all, a Really Good Time: a chance to talk shop; see old friends again and meet new ones; and get refreshed while hanging out with people who "get" P2. And with it all happening in exciting, cosmopolitan Montréal, where things are always moving (except traffic on Sherbrooke Street), there was plenty to do during the "down-time".
Of course, none of this would have been possible without the volunteers: no fewer than 45 people worked on the Steering Committee, the Program Committee, the Comité Saint-Laurent, which was responsible for local, conference-related events, and helped out during the conference itself on the registration table and in other capacities. We are grateful to every one of them for the hours they put in.

The road out of Gold 2
The first game was just horrendous I was playing Thor and was just getting completely destroyed. The enemy Ullrand Mercury got super fed and I tried my best to just ult him on CD and try and set up for my team, but we had no damage and lost it hard. It could have been winnable if my adc and mid also built some physical protection I think. But we lost.
Then I had a pretty bad Sylvanus game, we got some good pressure in lane early. But after invading purple we got double killed by Izanami and after that she was able to just run through the game and we lost. My Neith had a pretty bad build as well IMO so that did not help us.
To finish off the losing spree I had to play mid (…

In 2008 and 2009 Reactor was involved in various activities in cooperation with NGOs from the region, with the aim of advocating for visa liberalization. As part of the activities, Reactor published a report in April 2009 before the final EC assessment about Macedonia's progress in fulfilling the objectives set down with the Visa Free Roadmap. This report brought to light new arguments in the Brussels debate on visa liberalization by presenting the benefits it will bring to both Macedonia and the EU
In March 2009, Samuel Zbogar, the Slovenian minister of Foreign Affairs, and Franco Frattini, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, sent a letter to their colleagues in the EU in which they emphasized the need for visa liberalization for the countries of the Western Balkans.
We cannot give up on our goal to spread democracy, peace, stability and prosperity to South-Eastern Europe. We must continue to work on the gradual accession of the Western Balkans to the Union. For this purpose, we need the support of the local pro-European and democratic governments, and our first step should be the adoption of urgent and specific measures which will help them continue their work on the European agenda, the letter states. It is precisely the visa liberalization expected in 2009 that can help towards the accomplishment of that goal.
And while in the coming period the EU will continue the debates on abolishing the visa regime for the countries of the Western Balkans, Macedonian citizens continue to be faced with the long and arduous process of applying for a visa, which seriously discourages travelling outside the country. Today, only 6% of the Macedonian population leaves the country to discover Europe. For a country candidate that aspires to become part of the European family and promote European values it is especially important for its citizens to be able to get the chance to experience directly what that Europe stands for. This particularly hits hard with the younger population, who, unlike the older generations, have felt the negative effects of the visa regime barrier.
In the report "Taking Down the Schengen Wall" REACTOR focuses on the existing visa regime, with arguments as to why this regime has proven so unsuccessful. In the words of a European Commission representative, wherever visa requirements or an effective visa policy make it hard to cross a border, the only ones than manage to get through are the smugglers. Tourists and businessmen do not bother to go to Europe because they are discouraged by the visa policy.
REACTOR argues that Macedonia should be awarded the abolition of the visa regime, as it is the leader in comparison to other countries in the region according to the European Commission assessment report of implementation of the roadmap for visa liberalization. What makes our report different from similar documents is that we also focus on such issues as the positive aspect of migration flow – a process that we show is advantageous for both the EU and Macedonia, despite numerous reports claiming otherwise. In addition, this report reveals why the current EU visa policy must be revised – which should be of particular interest in the future process of creating visa policy for the new EU neighbors.
In 2009, the European public was witness to the debates in the European Parliament that discussed, among other things, the future of the Balkans. For Macedonia, the European MPs recommended that a date be set by the end of the year for EU negotiations, as well as complete visa liberalization. In this respect, RECTOR fully supports the European Parliament's sentiment and we agree that Macedonia has rightfully earned its place on the EU White List, urging those responsible to take the arguments put out in this report in consideration when deciding on the Macedonia's European future.

When the CSA decided my ruined life was worth £75 …
What is life really like when they knock on your door? Here one man reveals his own traumatic story and how having the CSA in his life for almost two decades destroyed his health, left him in debt and drove him to the brink of suicide. Names have been changed to protect the identity of the child.
Stoke Station, Sunday 3pm, jet-lagged in the rain. A bad day to have to go into the office, particularly when the car's broken down…
I'd just got back from a business trip and my executive stress was about as sharp as my suit.
A slow train coming around the bend and it was already twenty minutes late, I can remember thinking, surely Richard Branson would have more fun with a Hornby Double "0" in his loft.
It seemed unbelievable that less than 24 hours had passed since I'd climbed into the Business Class section of a 707 in a heatwave that had Raleigh-Durham airport in meltdown. And now here I was …
The train crawled up to me with a kind of insolence and I embarked on a journey that was to change my life.
This creaking example of Mr Branson's finest – rickety-crap, rickety-crap – suddenly decided to make good time and we rocked and rolled in the direction of Birmingham. So, I decided to use the journey to sift through the week's-worth of mail that had gathered behind my door while I was away.
That first one was enough … I hadn't expected anything like this…
After all, Tallulah and I had an arrangement – and I'd stuck to it rigidly since before our daughter was born. I know we no longer saw eye-to-eye, but I didn't deserve this.
If it was true, then I realised, on that rickety train – and she realised in her little dormer bungalow in The Midlands – that life as I knew it was over. A typical male reaction, I know. Emotional. Beer and wine money gone. What'm I going to do? You can hear the wail of a man supposedly getting his just desserts, even though he'd been paying for his child way before she was born.
This letter arrived in a large buff envelope, like bills used to. But the clue was there, in the deadly black stamp on the flap, the ultra modern Department of Works and Pensions in Dudley, West Midlands – millions to operate and failing to meet its targets by millions too.
I slipped the rest of my mail back into my briefcase and read the impersonal computer-generated missive over and over again. And the same question kept going through my mind:
Why had she done this?
One thing was clear though, the CSA didn't care why she'd done it … all they wanted was my money and by the bucket load. I'd filled in the forms months ago, but I thought it was merely a formality. I was paying for my child, once the good burgers of the CSA understood that, they would simply tell me to carry on as I had been doing. A bit naive I know.
But surely, they had made some horrendous mistake. Foolish is the man who believes in fair play, however. No, it was there in bold black Helvetica letters on white paper – they had almost trebled my maintenance payments overnight and in doing so had put me more than £3,000 in arrears.
But what hurt most at that moment on the swaying, hissing train was the reason for it happening. My 'exotic' life-style. That's how Tallulah had described it – my 'exotic' life-style. Namely, my all-expenses-paid business trips abroad. I'd made four in the eighteen months we'd been apart. Somehow she'd known about them all.
But what she had never understood was that I was a very provincial morning newspaperman – not a media baron – and these trips were simply a perk of the job.
We split up two years after our child was born. In an attempt to treat our separation, at least, with a semblance of dignity we had worked out what I could afford to pay, taking into consideration the repayments on my £70,000 mortgage, bills and, not least, the £120 a week it cost me to travel to work.
The money we agreed worked out a little less than her ex-husband was paying for her first child, but he earned approximately £10,000 a year more than me. We also took into consideration her own income from her beauty products business and the fact that she was still able to – legally – claim substantial childcare and other benefits.
Midnight. Stoke Station in the rain. I finally found a taxi and made it home where I proceeded to do what men do. I got drunker than I'd been for months.
Welcome to my breakdown. I think it began the very next morning but took a few weeks to get a proper hold. That morning I woke up jet-lagged and with a hangover from hell. But what was worse was this feeling of floundering in a sea of anger and fear, this definitely wasn't alcoholic remorse, it went deeper, right down inside of me like my emotions had been poisoned.
Oh, I carried on for a while, repaired my car out of my almost depleted savings and started paying the CSA's demand. After that was paid along with my mortgage, my Council Tax, my water rates, a small loan, one credit card bill and my travel-to-work, I had less than £30 a week to live on. And there were obviously no benefits I could claim, it is decreed that single men must fend for themselves.
I also began a fruitless battle to get the CSA to see sense. But as far as they were concerned, they'd already seen it. As Helen at the CSA's headquarters told me:
"All we do is take away your pleasure money sir."
That particularly incensed me as I had heard through the same grapevine as Tallulah that she had just booked an all-inclusive break in Mexico. She had also bought a new car on the strength of her newfound wealth.
It's worth noting here that if I had had a child living with me, (Note: This part of the story was written in 2002) the CSA would have allowed me £26 a week for that child's upkeep before making their assessment. Why then did it cost so much a week for my share in the upkeep of our child?
I telephoned Dudley again and they told me to 'stop moaning and get on with my responsibilities'.
Oh, I carried on for a while, four months or so but my circumstances were dire. And as my bills became more and more foreboding, so did my mind. I was literally losing it. My doctor said it was understandable, losing my daughter, my partner and not knowing from month to month if I could pay all my bills.
On the surface, in the office, everything seemed to be the same well-oiled engine but I knew the timing had slipped. Everything was working – but firing in all the wrong places. I knew my job was suffering and to make matters worse we'd just got a new editor. How things seem to conspire.
The broom the new editor was sweeping with was certainly bigger than my by-now battered ego. In morning newspaper terms, it was the nights of the long knives. Like with a car that is going wrong, all I knew to do was switch off. Shut down, cut off the power.
I know now that I'd fallen into a panic that was to last for two years. Day in. Day out.
A year into this state of mind I was diagnosed with reactive depression, which didn't make me feel better at all. It started more warning bells sounding. I realised, at the moment of diagnosis, that I had been officially written off as suffering mental health problems and, as my doctor warned me, this would make it difficult for me to find work in the future. Nobody wants to employ the nutter, simple as that.
I began to see these problems as endless precipices yawning before me and it was so easy to step off any of them at any time. There is no doubt about it, there is an indefinable security in the bleakness at the bottom of any one of them. But long before this diagnosis, I'd given up on going to work and gone on the sick. You see, even though – before diagnosis – you don't know what you are suffering from but you do know you can't actually get up and go to work. There's somebody else in the office in your driver's seat. He looks like you, he might even still act a little like you. But you don't trust him.
And the new editor is sweeping cleaner and cleaner in ever decreasing circles around you. You know that this other person, the one in the driver's seat, won't open letters and refuses to answer the telephone. You are floundering in this cold, dank, dirty fog that has become your mind and this fool who is pretending to be you is sitting there blotting out the only chink of light.
After the diagnosis things took a turn for the worse. The company, understandably, saw it as a chance to get rid of me. Who can blame them? I hadn't been in for more than a year. So, I got a small pay-off and, because I'd just turned fifty, a paltry pension.
However, my income was deemed to be too great to qualify for housing benefit, council tax allowance or, indeed, free prescriptions for my anti-depressants. More rules you see.
I felt too poor by now to even self-medicate. To all intents and purposes, I was ruined. I was mentally ill and I couldn't afford to live.
That's when I started to take a look at my life and what it was actually worth. Not a great deal. I had become a bad debtor and, because of my illness, I could hardly think any more. But, with what little logic I did have left, I saw I could be far better off dead. I had insurances and an endowment that might pay off my mortgage. At least I could leave my children from my first marriage provided for – and I could set up a trust fund for my new daughter.
Welcome to my death wish…
It is documented that at least 100 men have taken their own lives as a direct result of the CSA getting their assessments wrong. NACSA, a small, but national, organisation fighting the CSA, publishes what it calls the Book of the Dead and says that the list will still grow despite the Government's claim to have introduced new and fairer assessments.
The dead road I chose was a slow one, maybe because I was secretly hoping for some kind of redemption along the way. I found the money to drink a lot more by stopping eating and other measures like not paying my bills. Funny thing, isn't it, that poor people can always find money for drink. Then, the irony of it, I discovered I couldn't drink myself to death – the hangovers hurt too much.
So I tried to become positive and look for help by researching men's groups. That's when I encountered the Achilles Heel of man-dom. Men themselves. There is no help for men, there is no support system, no real benefits, no sympathy. And it is our own fault. A clear case of man's inhumanity to man.
But we shouldn't complain, men normally simply accept it as the law of nature. Men accept that they are the hunters who gather and then are eventually gathered from. It's the way of the world.
Self-medication is very often all we have left and I had abortively been overdosing every day. In a haze of booze and insecurity I contacted the UK Men's Movement, a volatile organisation that is proud of its macho anger.
Because of my professional credentials I was put straight through to its chairman, a real Rambo of men's rights. His zealousness was admirable but he swamped my problems as he demanded that I put my talents to good use and co-ordinate a press campaign with him.
His parting growl of 'shit or get off the pot' summed him up.
Finally, I found NACSA and its little Book of the Dead. Forgive me if this brands me a male chauvinist pig but I was more than a little surprised to be contacted by a woman.
Now here is the First Lady of men's rights, a charming middle-aged mother who began campaigning after her new husband was almost ruined by the CSA.
She discovered immediately that the CSA had got my case wrong – and that they actually owed me money. There had been an horrendous mistake, like I'd told them two years ago. But they had denied it, threatened me, in my incapable state, with endless paperwork and adjudicators. They had almost killed me.
Now they were going to pay.
But there was a brick wall between me and the faceless operatives of the CSA. My head was no longer strong enough to batter it down. I wrote letter after letter, I made phone call after phone call, I demanded, I threatened and I sulked.
And months later I got a letter of apology from the CSA saying they would compensate me 'for inconvenience and error by the agency'. The cheque they enclosed for my reconstituted life was just £75. It didn't even take the top off my credit card bill.
Well, perhaps that should have been the end of my story. But it isn't.
I met a woman and just like in true romance, we had a lot in common, including the CSA.
She was about to loose her £250,000 home on the borders of Shropshire because her husband, a self-employed salesman who had run-off with his business partner, refused to contribute towards the upkeep of their two sons and their home.
Angelina was forlornly trying to meet the bills on her four-bed detached village property from the money she earned in a tiny stationery store. It was an uphill battle and eventually the bank decided to foreclose over debts from her husband's business which were secured against the home.
In despair, Angelina finally went back to the CSA, believing that they would get money from him so that she could service the debts until the house was sold.
Within a month the CSA unapologetically came back to her explaining that they had dropped the case because her husband was self-employed. It was too difficult, they said, for them to discover how much he earned.
The house was sold at a knockdown price and Angelina received state benefits of £85 a week to support herself and her sons who were in full-time education. Her ex has never contributed a penny and has never been approached again by the CSA.
Meanwhile, I was subject to regular investigations by social services and the CSA who have accused me of working as a part-time fireman, of buying and selling cars and of working markets with a friend of mine who suffers from diabetes and circulation problems and has rarely left his house in the last two years.
Well, am I just a whinging bloke who has shirked his responsibilities? Or am I, my ex, my daughter, my new partner, her sons – and ultimately the taxpayer – all victims of a bureaucratic steamroller which has for decades been allowed to rampage through the wasteland of broken relationships and flatten what little is left?
There is no stopping it when it starts rolling at you – you can fling everything it demands in its path, you can fill in the forms, show them your wage slips, reveal your bank account, details of your past and your future, the state of your health, the state of your mind, details of your new partner's earnings, her wage slips, bank accounts. But it won't stop them. Every move I make, every change in my circumstances, every penny I earn, I have to report to them so they can re-assess me. This could happen month-by-month.
Somebody who works for an employer dare not earn overtime – or get a second job – it cooks the books too much and takes too long to sort out. A week's overtime can have you paying at a new higher rate for months. And it is the devil's own job to get a refund.
The men's movement put it this way: "The practical effect of CSA harassment of fathers is that they eventually acquire an entirely new set of values that are utterly detrimental to the well-being of society. They go into the black economy, they fiddle the Social.
"Fathers who fight hardest for their kids often suffer the most psychologically, especially middle-class 'believers', the type who bought into the whole bourgeois ideal – they believe the system is there to help them. They soon finds out it isn't. Businessmen hide earnings. They lose the incentive.
"The working-class guy goes on the Social and works in the black economy. Wife, CSA and kid get nothing. This is what happens and it's to no one's benefit, not the State, the ex, the man, and definitely not the kids."
In fact it is now a far more dangerous organisation to become involved with. In the past one of the few ways to get the CSA off your back was to wait until your ex-partner came off benefits, then there was a chance that you and she would make a private agreement.
But because tax credits – the most predominantly claimed benefit – is not actually considered to be a benefit at all under the rules, most are now considered private clients and there is no escape.
NACSA said: "Nowadays, most parents with care want to involve the CSA because they know what damage they can do to their ex partner. It's not just a case of getting the ex off benefit – its getting her to agree to come out of the system.
"Under the old rules the mother's income would be included assuming she had sufficient to contribute. Under new rules, the mother's income is disregarded.
"See that's how it works – and fails. Women who are greedy and want to punish their ex have the weapon and ex-partners who are fighting tooth and nail to keep contact with their children, and would never dream of not paying towards them find it difficult. But just looking to be treated fairly. This is a Government-organised battle of the sexes."

It is by no means enough not to steal the property of others; you are in error if you keep to yourself the wealth which God has created for all. He who does not give to others what he possesses is a murderer, a killer; when he keeps for his own use what would provide for the poor, one can say that he is slaying all those who could have lived from his plenty; when we share with those who are suffering, we do not give what belongs to us, but what belongs to them. This is not an act of pity, but the payment of a debt. — Pope Gregory the Great (6th Century)

Greed and Selfishness
Famine, Affluence, and Morality
Peter Singer: "Famine, Affluence, and Morality"
A Brief for the Defense
by Jack Gilbert
Sorrow everywhere. Slaughter everywhere. If babies
are not starving someplace, they are starving
somewhere else. With flies in their nostrils.
But we enjoy our lives because that's what God wants.
Otherwise the mornings before summer dawn would not
be made so fine. The Bengal tiger would not
be fashioned so miraculously well. The poor women
at the fountain are laughing together between
the suffering they have known and the awfulness
in their future, smiling and laughing while somebody
in the village is very sick. There is laughter
every day in the terrible streets of Calcutta,
and the women laugh in the cages of Bombay.
If we deny our happiness, resist our satisfaction,
we lessen the importance of their deprivation.
We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure,
but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have
the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless
furnace of this world. To make injustice the only
measure of our attention is to praise the Devil.
If the locomotive of the Lord runs us down,
we should give thanks that the end had magnitude.
We must admit there will be music despite everything.
We stand at the prow again of a small ship
anchored late at night in the tiny port
looking over to the sleeping island: the waterfront
is three shuttered cafés and one naked light burning.
To hear the faint sound of oars in the silence as a rowboat
comes slowly out and then goes back is truly worth
all the years of sorrow that are to come.
Love Thy Neighbor
Love thy Neighbor – Christ's Answer to Religion
Love thy neighbor was, in part, Jesus' answer when the Pharisees, the chief religious sect of that day, asked Him about the greatest commandment in the Law (See Matthew 22:36-40). These religious leaders had made almost an art form of classifying all the various laws and giving them relative degrees of importance, so in asking Jesus this question, their aim was to test Him. His answer stunned them: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.
Everyone is Redeemed
Pope Francis rocked some religious and atheist minds today when he declared that everyone was redeemed through Jesus, including atheists.
During his homily at Wednesday Mass in Rome, Francis emphasized the importance of "doing good" as a principle that unites all humanity, and a "culture of encounter" to support peace.
"Today is [the feast of] Santa Rita, Patron Saint of impossible things – but this seems impossible: let us ask of her this grace, this grace that all, all, all people would do good and that we would encounter one another in this work, which is a work of creation, like the creation of the Father. A work of the family, because we are all children of God, all of us, all of us! And God loves us, all of us! May Santa Rita grant us this grace, which seems almost impossible. Amen."

We coordinate responses across sectors for a holistic approach to emerging infectious diseases and disease management.
A strong response starts with capacity building for governments, communities, universities, and regional professional networks.
Environmental changes, as well as economic and technological advancements, have changed how we interact with each other and our world, allowing infectious diseases to spread around the world at a much faster pace. As new diseases and disease variants capture headlines, we are increasingly aware of the risks created by the growing interconnectedness of the global health landscape.
Most emerging infectious diseases are transmitted to people by animals. Understanding these interactions allows us to better prepare for, monitor, and respond to diseases. We address these challenges at multiple levels, facilitating coordinated responses across sectors for a holistic approach to disease management and strengthening health systems resilience.
We apply a One Health approach linking animal, human and environmental health specialists to address zoonotic disease and other emerging health threats, including antimicrobial resistance.
A strong response starts with building the capacity of governments, communities, universities, and regional professional networks. For example, work with government partners to strengthen the national systems, policies and practices needed to formalize and institutionalize One Health. We also we build training curricula and instructional quality into programs for first-responders, support regional university-led One Health networks to strengthen public health epidemiology systems, and form cadres of public health professionals to address outbreaks. Communities and countries can most effectively mitigate the impact and spread of disease by collaborating across sectors to strengthen preparedness, surveillance, and response efforts in tandem.
