Over the past month several publications have put the spotlight on inequality and have fueled public debate about whether Australia is becoming a more or less equal society. Many of the debates we have been engaged with locally have been reflected in the content of and commentary on these reports. Outlined below are quotes from the reports about inequality that affirm the advocacy agenda we have adopted following our local analysis of disadvantage and costs of living. Insights in the reports below will be guiding ACTCOSS future priorities for advocacy on eliminating poverty and inequality.
The Transforming Australia: SDG Progress Report by the National Sustainable Development Council, August 2018
Findings on inequality: Almost every goal has at least one target where an important indicator is off track or will require a breakthrough to be achieved. These include the adequacy of Newstart welfare payments (SDG 1), obesity levels (SDG 2), domestic violence (SDG 5), energy and water affordability (SDGs 6 and 7), household debt, stagnant wages growth and underemployment (SDG 8), investment in research and development (SDG9), income inequality and distribution of wealth (SDG 10), housing affordability and homelessness (SDG 11), hazardous waste generation (SDG 12), greenhouse gas emissions (SDG 13), Great Barrier Reef hard coral cover (SDG 14), threatened species (SDG 15), sexual assault and prison population (SDG 16) and official development assistance (SDG 17).
Recommendations for action: We have a lot of work to do to promote prosperity and fight inequalities while protecting the planet.
Rising inequality? A stocktake of the evidence by the Productivity Commission, August 2018
Findings on inequality: About nine per cent of Australians (2.2 million people) experienced relative income poverty (income below 50 per cent of the median) in 2015‑16, with children and older people having the highest rates of relative income poverty. This rate has fluctuated over past two decades but not declined. Children, lone parents, those with a disability, the unemployed and Indigenous Australians are most at risk of multiple deprivation.
Many people who exit poverty re‑enter at a later date. Of those who were in income poverty in 2001, 30 per cent had returned to (or were still in) income poverty in 2016. People in poverty often experience more fluctuations in their incomes than others. Between 2006 and 2016, people below the poverty line experienced more than twice as much income volatility, year on year, as people above the poverty line…The prevalence of marginal social exclusion was relatively steady between 2006 and 2015, but deep social exclusion showed a small and sustained rise after 2012.
Recommendations for action: Growth and complementary improvements in skills and education policies will not be enough [to reduce inequality]. In some previous research, we found that needs in housing or health policies could better be fashioned to address more directly than today quite specific needs — what might be termed 'hand‑made' policy — as we look out towards a fourth decade of uninterrupted economic growth."
Inequality in Australia report, by ACOSS/UNSW Sydney, July 2018
Findings: Someone in the highest 20% of the income scale lives in a household with five times as much income as someone in the lowest 20% of the income scale. Even more extreme, someone in the highest 1% of the income scale lives in a household with an average weekly income that is 26 times the income of someone in the lowest 5% of the income scale.
To put it another way – someone in the highest 1% earns more in a fortnight than someone in the lowest 5% earns in an entire year.
Wealth inequality is more extreme: People in the highest 20% of the wealth scale hold nearly 2/3 of all wealth, while those in the lowest 50% hold only 18% of all wealth. The average wealth of a household in the wealthiest 20% is five times that of the middle 20% and almost a hundred times that of the lowest 20%.
When people with low incomes and wealth are left behind, they struggle to reach a socially acceptable living standard and to participate in society. This causes divisions in our society.
Too much inequality is also bad for the economy. When resources and power are concentrated in fewer hands, or people are too impoverished to participate effectively in the paid workforce, or acquire the skills to do so, economic growth is diminished.
Recommendations for action: tax, transfer, labour market and education policies can and must play a more effective role in reducing divisions in our community.

How I became interested in organic nutrition and holistic healing methods:
I have always been interested in being healthy, whether that be through food, exercise, or mental/emotional well-being, but my value and passion for organic nutrition and holistic healing methods arose from my time spent as a cancer caregiver.
In 2013, my mother—the person I loved most in the world—was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer. We had no warning signs and had no idea that she was sick until her doctor recommended she get an endoscopy due to heartburn and a sudden inability to swallow or keep food down. The endoscopy revealed a large tumor in the GI junction. We were devastated and terrified.
A later PET scan showed that the cancer had metastasized to her stomach, lungs, and lymph nodes, causing her to be immediately admitted to the hospital. During that first week on the oncology floor, we spoke with a registered dietitian who told my mother to "eat whatever she wanted" in addition to the liquid nutrition she would gain through a stomach tube. I instantly knew there was something wrong with that statement. My mom had been eating whatever she wanted, and it resulted in cancer. So I started to question . . . shouldn't nutrition be another weapon in our fight against cancer?

Fostering Interview
fostering, adoption & the future of our children
28th October 2018
Currently there are more Muslim children looked after by local authority's than there are Muslim foster carers in England. Muslim children in England are from the most diverse ethnic backgrounds.
On 28th October, Muslim Women of Merton (MWM) organized an insightful event to raise awareness of the importance of fostering and adoption by the community, covering essential topics around the Islamic perspective, real life stories, lack of Muslim and ethnically matched foster carers and understanding the process involved in fostering & adoption. The afternoon extensively covered what the Islamic opinion is on this issue and the imperative for the community to step up to the challenge and come forward to provide a loving home to a child in need.
As someone completely new to this subject, it was helpful to hear from a diverse range of speakers in the sector, who were kind enough to give their time and input. It was empowering to hear from speakers emphasizing on social cohesion and not letting the element of faith become a barrier in providing the love and support for children in the community who require it the most.
Mayor of Croydon, Speakers and MWM
The afternoon started with Nuzhat Ali, the Chair of MWM introducing the aims of the event, encouraging all the attendees to get involved in the discussion. From the start of the evening, it was clear that the objective of the event was to keep an open mind, engage with the speakers, and take back learning and awareness about this area which we can share within our community.
The highlights of the afternoon for me were hearing from Foster Carer Shabina at Merton Council and Mayor Bernadette Khan. Shabina spoke of her personal experience as a foster carer of over 30 children and Mayor Khan of shared some touching stories of her 3 decades of fostering over 300 year from diverse faiths and background, one of who in his 50's now decided to change his surname to Khan !
Roshilla Pillay Sr. Social worker at Merton Council provided some key insight into the process of fostering for potential carers, including the role of social workers in this area.
"As Muslim women, we are all very resilient, we all have such strength..I am here for a reason, I am part of this child's life" (Shabina, Foster Carer)
The event concluded with a positive interaction between guests and the organisations who work really hard in raising awareness on foster care, impacting positively on the lives of many vulnerable Children in the community. In current times of increase in the rise of islamophobia and a conflict of differing views, fostering presents a step forward in disseminating the importance of cohesive unity within the community and the power of diversity.

The action exerted on a bicycle by a rider is a machine-like system through which movement and travel is achieved. The dynamic between a bicycle and a bicyclist depends on movement, the architecture of the bike, the structure of the environment such as pavement, and the physiological structure of the body. In these papers, researchers study the mechanisms of the bicycle-to-rider interaction to examine aspects of bicycling such as velocity, acceleration, levels of bicycle control, limb positions, bicycle frame, tire and road quality as they affect movement, and more.

Pity the University of the Free State (UFS) vice-chancellor, Jonathan Jansen. In trying to chart the way forward in the Reitz Four saga, his every move is being criticised.
Jansen decided to drop disciplinary charges against the four — who had gone to great lengths to manufacture a racist video — in the interests of reconciliation. The four still face crimen injuria charges, which will be heard in February 2010. Howls of outrage greeted the move, with the Ministry of Higher Education saying the decision was insensitive and that it had not been consulted.
Meanwhile, the vice-chancellor received support from an unexpected quarter on Thursday in the form of African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL) president Julius Malema.
Malema said after meeting Jansen on Thursday that the vice-chancellor was "one of our own" and that he could not be fed to the enemy.
Malema said as a youth organisation, the ANCYL could not stand in the way of students who wanted to return to university, but disciplinary steps should then be taken against them.
"They must apologise and show remorse when they come back," said Malema.
He said the league agreed with Jansen that a Truth and Reconciliation Commission-like process should be instituted at the university.
Malema also said he agreed with Jansen that the institution was still racially divided.
This is a time for cool heads. Jansen — whatever your view on whether the students should have been invited back — has made titanic efforts to transform the university.
|Pravin Gordhan
New Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan was widely lauded by parties across the political spectrum this week for his positive budget.
|Thabo Meeko
ANCYL Free State leader Meeko said earlier this week that UFS vice-chancellor Jansen should be "shot like a criminal" for pardoning the four makers of a racist video.

One other thing that Special Needs Dobermans does- aside from raising tax deductible donations- is special auctions on Ebay to raise funds for individual dogs. I got some good news that Kane's first auction is up. Swing by and check it out and see what you think. Our family really has been blessed to come into contact with S.N.D. (Special Needs Dobermans).

Ignore for a second that this is possibly the second worst photo ever taken of me. Trust me, you don't want to see the worst. Regardless, this photo depicts my new workout. Just what is my new workout? It is quite simple. Attach a harness to the rear end of a 90lb dog, grab the handles, lift and carry for about 10-20 minutes 4 to 5 times a day.
Now unlike most workouts, hopefully the weight will decrease as he gets back some use of his legs. For now though it me holding 100% of the weight of his back half 99% of the time. (more…)
Good News: Donations to Help Kane are Now Tax DeductiblePosted: August 7, 2008 in health, life, my life

Well since I don't have much time to type, I have some petting and walking and bladder expressing to do, here is a bit are some pictures of the Kane man after he got home. BTW, if you think you can help us pay for Kane's surgery click on this link to find out more about how to give. Even if you can only give $5 or $10 it will mean a lot. We have already raised over $500 to go toward his medical costs- that means we've raised about 15% of the cost of his care and surgery. I would love to make it to $1,000.
Perhaps I should show you his little corner. Doctor's orders, he has to be kept in a small area to minimize movement.

Tags: answered prayer, dog, happiness, health, joy, kane, pet, prayer
Amazing news. Remember how yesterday I blogged about how Kane had lost deep pain sensation in one of his hind legs? Well one of Kane's doctors called this morning and she sounded absolutely giddy. Apparently this morning they took him out to pee and not only did he pee on his own, he was also able to stand up on his own. That means he has the ability to place weight on his back legs which is a tremendous jump since yesterday when he couldn't even feel deep pain. His progress is so significant that his doctor admitted that they were shocked by his rapid improvement in a single day's time. I am thankfully that the Lord has heard our prayers and answered my request that he would heal Kane in such a manner that his doctors would be amazed by his progress. The sound of the doctor's voice confirms that my (and our) prayer(s) were answered in a wonderful way. (more…)

I received a B.A in psychology from Sungkyunkwan University and a M.S in cognitive science from Seoul National University. I'm currently pursuing a PhD in brain and cognitive sciences at Seoul National University. I'm interested in social behavior and its neural underpinning, and my more specific research interests include prosocial behavior, interpersonal relationship, and implicit bias related to prejudice. I value an approach that can apply findings from these research areas to contemporary social issues.

Transfer students must submit official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended to the Judson University Registrar. Students transferring courses from institutions outside of the U.S. must submit an official World Evaluation Services (W.E.S.) or American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) evaluation.
Most college level courses earning a grade of C- or better will transfer from a regionally accredited college and/or university. Courses taken through an unaccredited college will be reviewed by the Registrar. Remedial courses and courses vocational or technical in nature will not transfer. The University reserves the right to accept only courses that are equivalent in content and objectives to those offered at Judson.
Grades for transfer courses are calculated in the summary GPA for determining qualification for graduation with honors, class rank, the honors programs, and athletic eligibility.
A minimum of 40 percent of major coursework must be completed at Judson.
A minimum of 40 percent of the major must be in courses at the 300 level or above.
Upon matriculation a transfer student has one semester to appeal any course evaluation. A written letter of appeal containing the course description and syllabi must be submitted to the Registrar.
An Applied Associate degree will not be applied as meeting General Education requirements.
Judson University is a participating institution in IAI. The IAI was designed to help Illinois college students transfer easily. All participating colleges and universities agreed to accept an IAI general education "package" for transfer students in place of the institution's own general education requirements. The IAI core must be completed by the time the student matriculates to Judson.
Students who transfer to Judson with an associate's in arts or sciences or bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher upon matriculation will be deemed to have completed lower division general education courses except when specific general education courses are stipulated by the major and/or professional certification requirements. Associate degree transfer students must complete one Old Testament Biblical studies class or one New Testament Biblical studies class, one upper division Biblical studies class, an upper division literature course, and GEN 401 The Good Life: Continuing the Conversation. Those who transfer to Judson with a bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university must complete one Biblical studies class, an upper division literature course and GEN 401 The Good Life: Continuing the Conversation
These agreements do not guarantee that a student who transfers to Judson with an associate's or bachelor's degree will graduate in two years. The student is responsible to work with their advisor in developing a graduation plan to meet all graduation requirements.
In addition to the IAI, Judson has established specific articulation agreements with several local institutions to help ensure a smooth transition for transfer students: BIR Training Center, College Consortium, Computer Systems Institute, Elgin Community College, Harper College, Kishwaukee College, McHenry County College, Rockford Career College, Rock Valley College and Waubonsee Community College.
Courses are offered based on the semester-hour system. Whenever students take courses at another university or college that is using the quarter-hour credit system, the following policy governs the number of credit hours that will transfer to Judson. Quarter hours convert to semester hours at the rate of 1 quarter hour = 2/3 semester hour. Multiply number of quarter hours by .67.
5 Quarter Hrs. = 3.35, 4 Quarter Hrs. = 2.68, 3 Quarter Hrs. = 2.01, 2 Quarter Hrs. = 1.34, 1 Quarter Hr. = .67.
A course from another university or college using the quarter-hour system may be approved to fulfill a general education requirement. However, students must be aware that the conversion formula may affect the student fulfilling the required 120 degree hours for the BA degree.

Bacon & Tomato Jam
Bacon & Tomato Jam
September 20, 2013
- Makes: Makes about 1 1/2 cups - enough for 4-6 sandwiches.
2 medium shallots or 1 small sweet onion, peeled and chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1/2-1 small apple, peeled and finely diced
1Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a rimmed sheet with foil or parchment.
2Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and lay them cut-side up on the baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and roast for an hour, until they start to shrivel and darken on the edges.
3In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, cook the bacon in a drizzle of oil until it's nicely browned. Set it aside on a plate, leaving the drippings.
4Cook the shallots or onion and garlic for a few minutes, until it softens. Add the basil and cook for another minute. Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for another minute (it will reduce immediately) and then stir in the apples, browning them a bit. Add the tomatoes and cook, breaking everything apart with a spoon (mostly the tomatoes) until it thickens. It won't take long.
5Season with salt and pepper and stir in the bacon. Keep cooking it, if you like, until it's thicker and softer, and try not to eat it all out of the pan as you go.

Help To Buy ISA
- Posted
- AuthorClaire Edwards
If you are a first time buyer and looking for help getting onto the property ladder, the Help to Buy ISA may be just what you are looking for.
Do I qualify?
The Help to Buy ISA scheme will reward first time buyers, who are saving for a deposit to purchase their first home in the UK. The ISA will be available from a number of banks and building societies and you will still earn interest on your share of the savings in the ISA.
The property you are purchasing must not cost more than £250,000 or £450,000 if the property is in London, and you need to be having a mortgage to qualify for the scheme.
How much will I need to save?
There is no minimum monthly deposit required to be paid in and you can save up to £200 a month. The government will contribute 25% to the amount saved, up to £50. You can deposit an initial sum of £1,000 which will also qualify for the bonus.
You will need to save a minimum of £1,600 in the ISA before buying your first home in order to use the bonus. The maximum contribution from the government is £3,000 per first time buyer, however you would have to save £12,000 in order to benefit from the maximum bonus.
How can I access the bonus?
You will have until 30th November 2019 to open a qualifying ISA and the property purchase must complete by 1st December 2030.
Your solicitor will need to request the bonus, which will be paid directly to them towards your deposit and cannot be transferred to you. If you do not buy a property then you will lose the bonus.
If you are looking to purchase your first home with the benefit of a help to buy ISA and you require further information, please feel free to contact JCP Solicitors who will be happy to assist.

Have you noticed unwanted or extra fullness beneath your chin?
This could be something you've had for many years, a few years or even something you're just now noticing. Medically, this is referred to as submental fullness or more commonly, a double chin.
More simply put, it's an accumulation of fat cells under the chin. The cause could be related to genetics, weight changes or simply enough, the natural aging process. Despite the cause, here at Eternal Dermatology, we have your solution. Kybella is the only injectable treatment that's FDA approved to destroy fat cells in the targeted area underneath the chin, with the goal of improving and further beautifying your profile. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. The injection will fully destroy the targeted fat cells underneath the chin. Once destruction occurs via the injection, these cells will no longer be able to harvest or accumulate fat, allowing no further treatment necessary once our desired goal is met.
The amount of injections necessary vary patient to patient and will be discussed and determined between you and Dr. Rodney, who is specifically Kybella-trained and will cater to your amount and distribution of submental fat and personal treatment goals. Each Kybella treatment will be given at least 1 month apart.
Ready to see if Kybella is for you? Call our office or schedule a consultation with Dr. Rodney today!

"Mum, I'm a vegan now!"
It's January and, at the time of writing, everyone is losing their s*** over sausage rolls. Yes, thanks to Veganuary – the annual attempt to get us to ditch dairy, meat and fish for a month (think Movember but with flares) – veganism is everywhere you look. And our kids are looking everywhere.
So what do you do if your kid decides to go vegan? Have a read of our guide to vegan kids.
Tempting though it is to sigh heavily and declare it another phase, this is one worth taking seriously as it's not going away. Veganism is becoming more and more mainstream, which means it's also becoming easier to manage.
Ask your kids if they know any celebrity vegans and the chances are they'll reel off a list of relevant sportspeople and kid-friendly singers: Ariana Grande, JME, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Serena and Venus Williams, Jermaine Defoe… Basically, it's not just Moby anymore.
Okay, veganism is finally cool. We get it. But how will they get enough protein and do they need to eat more Marmite (and other clichéd 'I've gone veggie, mum!' questions)?
The Vegan Society has a ton of useful info written according to the age of your child – download nutrition guides for 5-10 year olds and 11-18 year olds. Note: they do also make it clear that it's worth talking to a health professional about any major change to your diet, so we're saying the same.
Going vegan doesn't mean your kid will suddenly want to eat lentil rissoles instead of beans on toast (spoiler: beans on toast IS vegan!). It's now possible to do direct replacements for most favourite foods just with a bit of careful shopping.
Plenty of basics are vegan already (bread is one that people are sometimes surprised by), and there are loads of excellent social media accounts that exist solely to alert vegans to 'accidentally' vegan products. Plus it's easy to swap butter for margarine, Quorn for sausages/ham/nuggets etc, pizza without cheese, oat milk for cows' etc. We also hear apples are vegan – it's just not that big a deal!
Inevitably, the big supermarkets are all jumping on that cruelty-free bandwagon too, with major new ranges including M&S Plant Kitchen, Waitrose, Tesco Wicked Kitchen and Sainsbury's Love Your Veg! (try their sausages, they're disturbingly good) so expect ready meal replacements along the lines of mac and cheese, lasagne, pizza, meatballs and more.
Basically, don't freak out – there's no better time than 2019 to enjoy the choices available. And, to be honest, it's a change that wouldn't hurt applying to the whole of the family. We could ALL do reducing the amount of meat we consume, if not for health reasons then for environmental ones.
The reasons people – and thus your kids – give for going vegan are varied and personal. It's a trend, sure, but beyond that there are clear health and nutrition reasons, animal welfare issues as well as those environmental factors. Probably a good idea to chat to your kid about exactly why they're interested in going vegan – there will be different reasons and, hey, it could actually be an interesting conversation. Make sure they have access to decent off- and online resources so that they can read up on the issues that mean something to them. Why? To help get them prepared for the onslaught of questions that will inevitably come from well-meaning relatives, vegan-curious friends and vegan-bashers alike.
The main issue for parents is nutrition – these are kids, remember, and thus, we do worry about them just eating hash brown sandwiches. Aside from making sure they eat a good variety of fruit and veg, grains, beans, nuts and seeds, there are a few supplements worth taking for kids and adults going vegan. These include calcium, vitamins D and B12, iron, iodine, and Omega-3 fats, but quantities vary according to age, lifestyle and diet so this is where getting professional advice is essential.
So. Your kids is going vegan. Ask them why, make sure they're eating the right things, supplement that if you need and take an interest. See, it really isn't that weird after all. Although those sausage rolls are a bit strange…

Console gaming has gotten more and more popular, especially since the introduction of the original PlayStation in the mid/late '90s. But is the era of the console coming to a close? David Ferrigno, CEO of DISCover, believes that ease of use in modern PCs will eventually allow them to take over the living room, replacing consoles.
The question really should be "Are the days of PC gaming numbered?" Console gaming is extremely successful and growing.
if you compare console sales to pc sales or how many people own pc's to console pc wins its like one or more per home in the us
I myself believe that both PC gaming and console gaming will be the normal thing for quite a while. PC users = 200 Million or more while PS2 had 80 Mil and Xbx and GCB had about 40 million in the last generation. Now with the new consoles and Sony pushing their product to be more of a home entertainment device or computer system I believe that Console gaming might go head to head with PC gaming by 2030 if not before that. Mobile PC gaming is great and Vista's new Silver FREE PC to PC play Live service basically the same service PC users have had since they have had a PC for Computers can definately spur some popularity and start a new trend with Microsoft and Windows.
PC gaming will never die though. Its just something everyone has and loves. These new consoles are cheap as dirt compared to brand new PCs which is the only real reason why console gaming is so popular.
Have you forgotten about the next-gen consoles:
.Playstation 3
.Xbox 360
.Nintendo Wii
PC gaming is great but it gets boring,I'd rather play my dirt cheap,Playstation 3,Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.
Probably successful but not extremely successful considering its more like its dieing there's more gamers that play on game consoles than PC's but some of them still play both game consoles and PC's.

Another Crypto Exchange Confirms 51% Attack on Ethereum Classic
Crypto exchange Gate.io also detected a 51% attack on the Ethereum Classic blockchain. The attackers managed to double spend ETC coins worth more $271,000. Exchange promises to pay damages to customers.
At the end of last week, Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, said the blockchain Ethereum Classic had been suffered form 51% attack. Because of it, attackers were able to double spend ETC on more than $1.1 million.
Now another trading platform - Gate.io - also confirmed the attack. According to the exchange, early in the morning of January 7, attackers concluded a double spend of 54,200 ETC, which is about $271,500 at current prices. Employees immediately managed to determine something was wrong with these transactions and blocked them. But due to the 51% attack, the Ethereum Classic blockchain confirmed the transactions, and the attackers received the money.
Gate.io promises to reimburse all losses of customers. The exchange will also increase the minimum required amount of ETC transaction confirmations to 500, and introduce more stringent security measures.
In addition to Coinbase and Gate.io, a 51% attack on the Ethereum Classic blockchain was noticed by two Japanese crypto exchanges - bitFlyer and Coincheck. Also, the attack was confirmed by the Chinese research company Slow Mist.
The developers of Ethereum Classic drop the charges. According to them, the hashrate concentration in the system was due to the testing of new ASIC miners. But there was no 51% attack, as well as double spending of coins.

There are many great stories about genius musicians playing on street corners, unrecognized.
My takeaway from these stories is that many look, few see and fewer take notice.
There's a section of those who're walking who don't even realize their presence. Many look in that direction but their eyes likely glaze over. A few see that something is going on – maybe they even realize it is something good. But, the choice few dig deeper and take notice.
Great talent scouts learn to notice talent. Great leaders notice leadership and remember to call it out. Happy people learn to notice things they are grateful for.
We can, of course, be all these things. But, first, we must learn to see. And, once we learn to see, we must then learn to take notice.

A confidential briefing paper circulated within the UNHRC revealed that the United Nations is not willing to provide humanitarian assistance to the returning Rohingya Muslims, if they are interned in camps.
Instead, the UN has said it will only support resettlement on the condition that returnees are resettled into the "places of refugees' origin or choice".
The UN "will not provide individual assistance in situations of encampment, including in reception facilities or transit camps, unless they are clearly temporary in nature and used for the sole purpose of facilitating free movement to places of returnees' origin or choice," the paper, which was given to diplomats and other agencies as they were advised not to aid such camps, read.
The news comes as Myanmar announced plans to build housing in 42 sites across Rakhine.
The circulated document also outlines a serious risk posed to the returning population and stresses the need for returnees to return of their own accord.
Bangladesh and Myanmar agreed in late October to start providing repatriation for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya who fled the country last year to escape violence perpetrated by the state army.
Over 700,000 rohingya citizens fled Rakhine state during this pogrom and UN investigators has accused the military of harbouring "genocidal intent".
Myanmar has denied these claims and defended their army's action stating they were fighting terrorism. International aid organisations as well as the UN has stated it is unsafe for the muslim population to return.
Myanmar claims that the camps will provide temporary shelter for those returning before transitioning to more stable housing, but many Rohingya fear that these camps will become permanent and may restrict their movement.
UN backed camps have existed in Myanmar since 2012, when tens of thousands of Rohingya were forced into exile during a previous pogrom.
The camps established were in poor condition and residents were forbidden to leave whilst also stating that they would only be here temporarily. This violates international law leading the US State Department to demand the those returning "have freedom of movement and not be confined to camps".
Reuters notes that returnees would be permit to travel within Maungdaw town on the condition that they carried National Verification Cards, a situation which has faced a harsh backlash from the Rohingya community who view this form of identification as labelling them as foreigners.
Speaking on this issue the UNHCR Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, Volker Turk, said, "I think we are still not at that stage where the conditions are there that we would be able to facilitate or promote returns at this point in time […] if there are indeed people who want to return, we have to absolutely make sure that we are able to certify that they do this on (the basis of) a free and informed choice."

After ten years and millions of marriages, couples who met online are starting to divorce. Skeptics worry about the effect this will have on the online dating industry – some even want to blame them for the break-ups. But it seems like all the worry and blaming is a little silly. We all enter into situations as adults, and at the end of the day, no matter how you met your mate, you've got to have the relationship skills to make it work. It's that simple.
But, any seasoned dater knows, it is not that simple at all. Dating is complex. What we share, when we share it, and with whom are all key components of romantic success – on and off line. The Internet is just one added element, and with it comes both positives and negatives.
Online daters expect a little more from their perspective mates – sometimes too much more. Honesty is always the best policy – but is complete disclosure necessary before you've even had dinner? After all, whether you're in front of a computer or at a dinner table, we're all just human. Human nature dictates that most of us want to actually know (and trust!) a person before we start sharing our entire life stories!
There are various explanations for all the demanding online daters. Number one being misrepresentation – in picture and in words. Sure, meeting someone online poses a unique set of pitfalls. Without facial expression and tone of voice to accompany emails, daters are doing a lot of filling in the blanks. And it's easier to lie online than it is face to face – for some people. However, time has proven that deception exists regardless of the dating scenario. Is it the responsibility of the dating sites to make sure that you and the person you meet are 100% compatible? Such expectations assume there's even such a thing as 100% compatibility! Even the most loving spouses disagree sometimes. Thank goodness.
It's up to you
Like everything else in life, you have to take responsibility for your own happiness. There are no "givens." Since online daters are more likely to be looking for something serious, they're more likely to rush into things. But that doesn't make them any less liable for their own words, actions or relationships.
It doesn't matter whether you met through friends, in a bar, at the grocery store or online – the initial dating period is meant for getting to know each other and assessing compatibility as well as desire – both elements are equally important. The most compatible couple can encounter circumstances where one or the other partner loses the desire to proceed. That's just life.
Be real
Eventually, any relationship that's progressing has to move offline. Emails cannot take the place of face to face communication. No virtual reality is as good as the real thing. Expecting online dating to be foolproof is like expecting a magical answer to a mystery that has plagued man throughout history. Love is complicated. The best thing you can do as an online dater is take precautions.
Naturally, when choosing an online dating service, it's important to take into account your personal needs and interests. Likewise, when communicating with prospective mates, it's vital that you ask the important questions. If you suspect someone is lying, call them on it. Go with your gut. Even if this person seems like your perfect match, enter into things with open eyes! Only time will tell if the possibilities prove true. No website can promise you happily ever after – what they offer is an introduction to some possibilities.
Once you've entered the scene, don't take anything for granted. Don't expect that the dating site has covered ground for you (like making sure someone is emotionally available). No matter how tempting, don't assume from email messages that you've met your soulmate. Before actually taking things offline and testing a relationship's possibilities, the best you can expect is that you may be on your way to something – if you play your cards right. Remain honest and work together to develop a mutual trust – if the other person is truly committed – and if you're genuinely as committed as you think you are.

Where to Buy Vype E-Cigs and E-Liquids?
Tuesday, 11/12/2018
10 Motives E-Cigarettes Now Available on Vape Mountain
There's no longer any doubt that vaping is far safer than smoking cigarettes. 10 Motives have created a name for themselves as being extremely passionate about getting as many cigarette smokers as possible to give up tobacco for good, and they achieve this by developing truly state-of-the-art vaping products. Here at Vape Mountain we share their enthusiasm, which is why we've decided to stock a broad range of 10 Motives electronic cigarettes and refills.
The world of vaping can be intimidating at times, but luckily the bulky rigs and complicated designs of vaping rigs are quickly becoming a thing of the past. Vaping has progressed a long way over the years, and often the complex modded rigs that some vapers swear by have been outpaced by new technology, new ideas and new designs. Enter the MyBlu device and its sleek new approach to high performance vaping, proving that the best things really do come in small packages.
As more and more people start vaping, a new question has arisen: can you use a vaporiser on a plane? Find out with our informational guide to the dos and don'ts of using an e-cigarette at airports and on planes.
If you've been using a Vapourlites e-cigarette or e-liquid for a long time, you may have noticed that the branding has changed slightly. This is because, due to recent legislation surrounding e-cigarettes, Vapourlites have changed their name to Vapour. Read on to learn what this means for your favourite e-liquids.
Blu offer excellent-quality products that look and feel extremely elegant in design. If you're looking for a great deal on one of Blu's electronic cigarettes, this can take a huge amount of patience while you scour voucher code websites for an active offer. But there is an easy solution to finding a cheap Blu e-cigarette; read our blog to find out more.
It's the question that's on everyone's lips: who stocks Blu e-liquids? The answer? We do! Read on to find out what kind of flavours we offer and how inexpensive they are.
At Vape Mountain, we're always adding new flavours we think you'll love. We've recently added Blu's range of e-liquids, and we are now offering an introductory rate so you can save money on your new favourite e-juice. Read on to find out more about how much you can save and what Blu can offer you.
To give you a professional-level vape with none of the mess or fuss, the Logic Pro e-cigarette features a simple and satisfying design. Using a three-part design, the Logic Pro makes it incredibly easy for you to get a top-shelf vape every time. Check out our guide on how the Logic Pro works and how to refill them.
On 20th May 2016, the Tobacco Products Directive 2014/14/EU (TPD) came into force. Almost a year down the line, the effects of this legislation on the individual vaper and the industry as a whole are beginning to be felt. While this might seem confusing, there's no need to be alarmed – we've created this simple guide to the TPD legislation to keep you up to speed.
Whether you use e-liquid with your Vype eTank, caps with your Vype ePen or tips with your Vype eStick, you can now save money on your refills. At Vape Mountain we're able to offer some brilliant combo packs designed to save zero strength Vype users both time and money.
All major credit and debit cards accepted. Secure payment processing from SagePay and PayPal.
Lines open from 9.00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays and Christmas). Please leave us a message at all other times and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

A forum on South Whidbey will tackle the complex issues surrounding mental health and its treatment next week.
The forum, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Trinity Lutheran Church, is "mainly for education and to get rid of the stigma of mental illness," according to organizer Linda Plitkins.
"We need to start this discussion," Plitkins said.
The event will feature presentations from three guest speakers followed by a question and answer period. Kathy Chiles is a former project manager who will share her "journey from insanity and back" as detailed in her book "Pangaea: Confessions of an Erstwhile Mermaid."
Chiles, coordinator for the National Alliance on Mental Illness chapter in Snohomish County, had an extensive psychotic break, and was subsequently diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, a cross between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, according to her bio.
It's Plitkins' hope that the forum will start a community discussion about the island's mental health and potentially create a NAMI chapter locally.
"The idea is that we could get NAMI support here," Plitkins said. "We don't have a chapter of our own."
Two mental health professionals will also share their experiences and expertise.
Charlene Ray, a licensed independent clinical social worker, has been in practice as a therapist for 29 years. Ray specializes in non-traditional therapies like alchemical healing, guided imagery, voice dialogue and equine assisted psychotherapy.
Sheryl Larson is a master's level registered nurse who works with veterans suffering from PTSD and has six years experience in psychiatric nursing. She has worked "in diverse settings that include Washington State's largest setting for the treatment of mental illness, the state prison system," according to her bio.
"One in four Americans will experience some form of mental health issue in their lifetime," according to an event flyer. "Even more will have a family member or friend affected by mental health issues."
Pastor Elizabeth Felt will facilitate the event. The forum is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. Trinity Lutheran Church is at 18341 State Highway 525 in Freeland.

Hi Learner,
Robin Sharma is a renowned author & speaker in the field of success, motivation, inspiration etc. His books the Leader without a title is my all time favorite. I have a habit of regularly following him through his uploaded videos, tweets and through his blog. While surfing through his blog which is the ocean of happiness, achievement and success literature, I have found a treasure which is absolutely free and is a gift given by him to everyone i.e., Robin Sharma's Little black book to Stunning success.
As the name of the book suggests it is literally an awesome book to succeed in a stunning, spectacular way and to reach the goals that have been our companions and are tempting us till now & then to achieve them but we might have had some obstacles due to which we might have not reached them.
Sharma ji has given a wonderful picture of the important aspects in a fantastic way which are very refreshing & thought provoking. I will just pick some of the topics which have very much interested me in the book and which were my take away from the book in the post.
People who have achieved great success are not necessarily more skillful or intelligent than others. What separates them is their burning desire and thirst for knowledge. The more one knows, the more one achieves. – Robin Sharma
Why be great?
Our self esteem is powered by our self confidence, our confidence is powered by our self effort and diligence and that inturn is powered by our desire to be more in the sense greater than present in the all the ways.
Sharma has put forth a wonderful point about greatness & moreover why one should be great because (he says) living below our potential makes us unhappy, depletes our self esteem, confidence etc without them one cannot live peacefully.
Fail to win
Success is like a beautiful lover which may leaves at any time but failure is like our mother which teaches us some important lessons of Life.
Failing is dangerous as we have to withstand all the negative & silly talk which will be made on us and apart from those failing or falling in our journey causes pain to us. The fear of pain caused by failure is what stopping many people from even trying to win.
Robin ji says Unless we are ready to lose the sight of the shore we have know possibility of reaching the treasure land which we have been dreaming
And once we start trying new things we fail more than others isn't it a wonderful insight in keeping us going though we are failing in our journey and helping us in coming out from our cocoons (sorry) comfort zone to do more, be more & have more.
Problems are servants
Problems aren't funny, easy, enjoyable. .. instead they are horrible to both imagine & stay with but they might be opportunities in disguise that is appearing like a dagger being thrown at us but actually life is giving us a weapon to do more in an easy way or it is giving you a servant for helping you in your work because problems give us a lot of experience which might be difficult to obtain with success.
Robin ji says problems can be our loyal servants but only if we allow them to be I guess if we don't use them as servants they push their way to be our owners & make us their servants.
So, why not enjoy their servantship rather than their ownership
No try No Win
such a simple idea; If you don't try you won't win
Unless we have the courage to think & dream above & beyond our failures possibilities we can't win & unless we don't really try we cannot at all WIN
(You can find the free book link both above and below) I am telling you DON'T MISS IT… its awesome ..
Thanks for reading. Share your views & take away from black book to stunning success and the post content with me through comments, I would be very happy to hear. If you have enjoyed reading this post then share it with your buddies.
Bye… Take care…
I am Surya, began blogging to share my thoughts, which I feel are useful with the world as I do it with my friends.

Google has announced its annual Zeitgeist, a look at 2010 through the collective eyes of the world on the web. The 2010 Year-End Zeitgeist offers a unique perspective on the year's major events and hottest trends based on global searches, as well as searches conducted in Malaysia on google.com.my
When it comes to Malaysia's fascination with the Proton Inspira, not even Apple's iPad and the Greatest Show on Earth come close to the national car manufacturer's Mitsubishi Lancer lookalike, which was launched in November. The fastest rising searches of 2010 also showed Malaysians going online for a variety of reasons, from checking out Indonesian drama Benci Bilang Cinta and spending time interacting via Facebook to looking for the best deals in town on mudah.com.my and staying up-to-date with the latest news on Utusan. They also kept their reflexes sharp playing online games on Didi games and kept an eye out for singing teen sensation Justin Bieber.
He may not be well-known in most parts of the world, but local fans of Swedish/Lebanese singer Maher Zain ranked him ahead of Bieber and Indonesia's scandal-plagued Luna Maya on the fastest rising people list. David Villa, who scored five goals to help Spain win the 2010 World Cup, also proved a winner in the fastest rising World Cup players Top-10, pushing Argentina's Lionel Messi and Brazil's Ronaldinho to second and third place, respectively.
Bahasa Malaysia searches on google.com.my also proved extremely popular. For instance, searches for 'tokek' (tokay gecko) pushed the term to No.1 on the fastest rising local headlines list after news reports stated that its meat could fetch up to RM1million per kg in the overseas market and possibly be used as a cure for HIV/AIDS. Malaysians were also looking to enjoy financial freedom of the more regular variety, however, and placed 'how to start a business' at the top of their 'bagaimana...' fastest rising list.
On the local movie scene, a surprise in the form of romantic drama Dear John proved more popular that other bigger Hollywood offerings, but to no one's surprise, Endthiran, the biggest and most expensive Tamil movie ever, topped the fastest rising Indian movie list. Fans of Taiwanese drama Calling for Love also drove their favourite show to the head of the fastest rising Chinese search list in front of actresses Stephy and Ady as well as Chinese video hosting service Youku.

The Wilson County Fair is back, so mark your calendars for Aug. 17-25. Gates will open 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 17.
Ford and the Middle Tennessee Ford Dealers are the presenting sponsor of the 2018 Wilson County Fair. Ford has been the presenting sponsor for many years and fair officials appreciate all they do.
The Wilson County Fair will celebrate "mAGic Memories" with the addition of a new barn located between the Poultry Barn and the Fiddlers Grove Picnic Pavilion. Fair officials would like to thank Farm Credit Services Mid-America and Wilson County Promotions for funding the cost for this new barn. The barn will house old wagons and equipment. This has been a dream for many years and they are pleased to make this dream a reality with the help of many people.
There will be a committee formed to handle the items that will be housed in the new barn and to collect and write the stories that will go with each piece. There will be a dedication for this new addition on Friday night, Aug. 24, at 7:30 p.m.
When attendees go to the Fair this year, they will see new fencing at the Sparta Pike entrance, split rail fencing in Fiddlers Grove and the new barn area where there will be extra entertainment like storytelling and music throughout the Fair.
Much of the carnival midway has been resurfaced for the new carnival and the expansion of Kiddie Land where there will be more shade and benches for people to rest and visit.
The Fair also will be celebrating 100 Years of the John Deere Tractor. There are many activities planned for this celebration with the opening and closing parades, an exhibit of tractors since the 1920s and a fun day in the dirt, where people can drive a John Deere Tractor and try out some of the equipment on the last Saturday, Aug. 25.
Fair officials would also like to thank Tony Bates and Bates Ford for their sponsorship of two nights of concerts with the Jimmy Bowen Band opening for Ronnie Milsap on Monday night, Aug. 20, and Buddy Jewell opening for Confederate Railroad on Tuesday night, Aug. 21.
Concerts will be held in the large covered arena and there will be plenty of seating for everyone. Both concerts are included in the price of admission to the Fair.
Officials are excited and looking forward to everyone visiting the Fair. They know this is going to be a great Fair with so much to see and do, that it cannot all be seen one visit.

I saw this article posted a few times yesterday, including on Bella's facebook page and just had to comment about it.
In case you skip the article a quick summary:
A customer at an upscale restaurant in New York was shocked to find out that the sommelier had tasted his wine when he asked about it being flawed. It was unclear where the sommerlier tasted the wine. I thought most restaurants and their staff opened wine at the guests table and not before bringing the bottle out (and for good reason), but either way the somm tasted the wine and determined it was good. The customer, however, had been to the establishment the week before and had the same bottle of wine. He determined it was not of the same quality as the previous week. The restaurant said that they taste all bottles opened to ensure good quality wine. They think of it as a service to their guests.
Anyway, let's get to the meat and potatoes.
If I found out someone tasted my wine before or after bringing it to the table, I would be very upset. I understand the restaurant's reasoning of wanting to ensure quality, but communicate that to me. Don't just open my wine and take a sip. I think of that as quite rude. Now, if the sommelier had come to the table and said something like, "Would you like me to taste a small sip of your wine to ensure it's quality?", it would then be my option to say yes or no. But the way this article describes the process, it makes it sound like there's not a choice.
We are Americans after all, and choice is what we long for. We want a choice about everything, but I digress.
Many times in local eateries in Sonoma County (and some select other places), I bring a bottle of wine to dinner. Because I work in the industry it's much more cost effective for me to this. It also leaves me more money to expand upon the dinner options. In this case, I will sometimes (depending on the service) leave a small taste for the server or staff of the bottle I brought. But it's my choice. Sometimes, I don't. Usually it depends on how good the bottle is. There usually isn't leftover wine in my house.
But if I paid full price for a bottle in a restaurant, I feel like I should get the whole bottle. Every. Last. Drop.
If this experience happened to me, and I wasn't given an option, I likely wouldn't be visiting that restaurant again. In addition, if the bottle isn't opened at your table, send it back. There are no guarantees on what's in that bottle unless it is opened at your table. There's a story floating around out there about a restaurant that was busted for pouring "cheap" wine into a very expensive bottle over and over for a group of business people. Every time these folks ordered a bottle, a new one showed up – uncorked. Of course, the guests paid full price for all the bottles opened. Not okay. Not even funny.

Hi, I'm Rhonda!
I'm a serial Snapchatter, art addict, and amateur cat lady. I'm also a little bit crazy, but in a good way. My general philosophy in life is to live for yourself. Always be you, always be authentic, and never worry about what others think!
Some (very random) facts about me:• When I'm not busy creating wacky internet content, I work as the Creative Director for Houndstooth Media Group, a company that provides services including social media management, content creation, and website design & development.
• I went to college for 10 years but don't have a degree. Beacuse of this, I was officially declared a "non-traditional student".
• I'm really bad at throwing, catching, aiming, or pretty much anything else that requires coordination. So basically I suck at all sports.
• Also, I'm a terrible dancer.
• I sometimes speak in weird voices, and don't even realize I'm doing it until after it happens.
• My favorite snacks are pickles (preferably dill) and cottage cheese (always small curd).
Snapchat Content Creator
As a content creator, I find that Snapchat provides me with tools and opportunities thar are unlike any other social platform, which has set it apart as my favorite place to create.
My content includes weekly games, custom lenses created in Lens Studio, and lots of random, silly photos and videos. My Snapchat audience is highly engaged, and has come to expect high-quality, bright, funky, and sometimes bizarre content in my daily stories.
Snapchat Lenses
Snapchat's Lens Studio software offers a platform for anyone to create their own AR experiences. The software first became available in December 2017; shortly thereafter in February 2018 I made my first lens, and instantly became hooked on the whole new world of creative possibilities.
The Official Lens Creator (OLC) program recognizes and rewards the top, most prolific users of Lens Studio with additional support and opportunities.
I became a member of the OLC program in July 2018.
Gif Artist
