Building rapport in a street ethnography on men's sexual health in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Promoting sexual health is a challenging enterprise in Bangladesh and even more so when official health systems do not recognise existing community resources that might help address some of those challenges. In my doctoral research I set out to understand how majmawalas, street healers, provide a service to heterosexual men who have anxiety about sexual performance and sexual health, and how they might assist in promoting sexual health among men in Bangladesh. I took up this question based on the observation that majmawalas were already providing sexual health information and support to men in Bangladesh (Anam 2010). Together, their skills and their sociocultural positioning enabled them to talk with men about sexual health in a relatively straightforward, nonstigmatising manner, in street spaces that men could access easily both geographically and economically.
Following the street ethnographies of Duneier (2001) and Radice (2011), I knew that developing an open and trusting relationship with the majmawalas would be critically important. My previous research experience and Bangladeshi background were useful in establishing strong relationships, but it didn't make the task easy. Still, I knew that in the Bangladeshi context, becoming aponjon (the dearest one), someone who is not necessarily kin but a trusted friend, would smooth the way to such a relationship. This essay is about my journey to establish that kind of relationship with my interlocutors during my fieldwork in 2014–15.
Initially, none of the majmawalas were truly convinced about me and my research. I identified myself as a PhD student at an Australian university and as an academic staff member at one of the public universities in Bangladesh. But these roles positioned me as someone to be suspicious of, as none of the majmawalas had had previous experience with academics nor had any taken part in research. The whole idea of me and my study was a new phenomenon for them.
The majmawalas' businesses were on the street. Like other street vendors, they had no permanency, no certainty of their ability to occupy a space, and so they had to compete with many other vendors for both space and the attention of passers-by. Their everyday practices were thus a precarious undertaking, and a sometimes-stigmatised one, as well, which made them vulnerable to extortion from a variety of people. Police officers, local gangsters, and even journalists came to them regularly for money. The journalists demanded money in exchange for not publishing negative articles, such as columns questioning the efficacy of street medicine or suggesting that the government disallow street medicine. Not surprisingly, when I introduced my research to them, the majmawalas suspected that I was probably a 'journalist' only pretending to be a researcher, who would eventually ask for money. At that stage, they did not trust me, but they did allow me to observe their healing sessions and answered my questions.
One particular incident contributed to breaking the ice and helped me to receive a true welcome from the majmawalas. At one session, I was taking notes of a speech by a majmawala who I'll call Didar. Suddenly, a 'journalist' and his assistant came, and started filming the session without obtaining permission. When they had completed their filming, they approached Didar's assistant, and I drew close as well. They asked for money, and Didar's assistant suggested they wait until the end of the session and said he was not able to pay them anything. The journalist was angry and kept demanding money.
I intervened. First, I gave my identity and described the reason why I was staying in the area. Then, I asked for their identities, their reason for filming the session, and why they were demanding money. Initially, they did not believe me and thought I was a majma man; they even started asking me for money, too. I showed them my identity card and they realised that I was actually a university academic who was there for legitimate research purposes. They did not confirm any association with a particular newspaper or television channel, nor did they explain their reason for filming the session or for asking for money. When I started talking about the potential of majma street healing and requested that they consider covering the positive aspects of majmawalas in their news, they left. It was clear that their only purpose was extortion.
Didar's assistant and a few other people of the area observed this encounter, and Didar also saw the end of our interaction. This helped convince Didar that I was truly there for research purposes, and that I would not do any harm to them or their reputations. If necessary, in fact, I would raise my voice on their behalf. Didar told the story to other majmawalas in his circle, and good number of them started trusting me and my plan for research. This incident made me the majmawalas' aponjon, their dearest one. It opened the door for me to gain entry with a proper welcome into the majmawalas' community and made things much easier for me in the field.
My experience suggests that 'becoming aponjon' can establish a relationship that allows for the kind of trust necessary in sensitive research, such as researching precarious street healers and men's sexual health. 'Taking sides' (Armbruster and Laerke 2008) – raising my voice in support of the majmawalas – was crucial to gain their trust. This was not simply a 'strategic' decision to facilitate my fieldwork, but an ethical decision in line with my research goal of advocating for majmawalas to be included in the promotion of men's health services, particularly those related to sexual health.

From a technical/political perspective, Hillary Clinton gave a solid speech tonight. If you're a liberal who believes in the things Clinton and Obama do, and you were thinking of not voting for Obama simply because he's not Hillary Clinton, I'm sure you've now "seen the light".
With that said, it was really underhanded and distasteful for her to begin her attack on McCain with "Now, John McCain is my colleague and my friend; He has served our country with honor and courage". It's fine for you to criticize the candidate of the other party, but if you're going to rip into someone with claims that suggest he doesn't care about Americans in financial difficulty or women being discriminated against, cut the crap and avoid the niceties. Friends don't do that to friends.
Also, the whole tying McCain to Bush thing is getting really old. I'm sure millions of American will buy in to this distortion, but McCain's not Bush. He has his own record. Judge him for it and not someone else's. It's no more legitimate to claim that McCain would be four more years of Bush than it would be to say that Obama would be four years like the last two with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid while holding the reigns of Congress - the branch with an approval rating a full 12 points below Bush's. (Their 18% makes Bush's 30% look pretty darn good).
While I'm the tangent of Bush versus Reid/Pelosi, it's worth pointing out that the economy only got bad since they took control of Congress. For instance, here's a handy chart on gas prices:
But back on topic: Pelosi, Reid, and Bush aren't running for President. McCain and Obama are. Judge their records, plans, and promises, not those of people not running.

Log Horizon (記録の地平線 Kiroku no Chiheisen) is a small, but very powerful guild in Elder Tale that was formed after the Catastrophe. It is also the organizer of the Round Table Alliance and one of the alliance's 11 member guilds.
It was founded by Shiroe who, prior to the Catastrophe, had avoided joining any guilds despite numerous invitations and offers. After discovering that both Touya and Minori, along with 33 other beginners, were being enslaved by the Hamelin, he decided that the best way to help Touya and Minori as well as his friends Naotsugu, Akatsuki, and Nyanta in the post-catastrophe world was to form his own guild. With a small push from Nyanta, he founded Log Horizon with his former party members and new friends as co-founders.
After establishing the Round Table Alliance, both Touya and Minori joined Log Horizon, although they partied with Serara, Isuzu, and Rundelhaus Code during and after the Summer Training Camp. During the Return of the Goblin King event, however, Rundelhaus sacrificed himself to protect the party in exchange for his life. To prevent forever losing him, Shiroe created a contract with Rundelhaus to join the guild and to give him the Adventurer subclass forcefully, allowing him to resurrect at the Cathedral. Since Isuzu was close to Rundelhaus, she decided to join Log Horizon as well. Although Nyanta invited Serara to come along, she turned down the offer due to her strong commitment to Crescent Moon Alliance.
Later on, Shiroe and Naotsugu go to Susukino to employ Silver Sword's aid in completing a raid. They were accompanied by Demiqas and Tetora, an Adventurer from Minami who was sent on Kazuhiko's orders. Following the mission, Tetora decides to join Log Horizon as its Cleric.
Though Log Horizon has a relatively small number of members, half of them are veteran and experienced players, with three from the infamous Debauchery Tea Party: Shiroe, Naotsugu, and Nyanta. While Akatsuki had doubts about her own strength, her guild mates and powerful players like Soujiro Seta and Rieze have recognized her competence. Tetora was recommended to Shiroe by Kazuhiko and was very helpful during the raid in the Abyssal Shaft. Their true strength is their ability to work together along with Shiroe's extraordinary organization and impeccable planning abilities. By studying their opponents and predicting their actions Shiroe can maneuver his guild into a position of strength before their enemy even acts.
The guild also has tremendous political influence as the guild that was instrumental in forming the Round Table Alliance and a standing member of the alliance.
While low leveled, Touya, Minori, Rudy, and Isuzu are considered strong for players of their level, little doubt because of their cohesiveness.
There will be a total of 12 members in Log Horizon—one of each class.[1] As of volume 13, eleven of the twelve classes have been accounted for.
The guild members are effectively divided into two parts; senior members and junior members. The senior members are not ranked by membership seniority, but rather by experience in Elder Tale and their levels; this is why Tetora, who joined much later than the members in Touya's Party, is considered a senior member.
Guild Base
After purchasing the guild house building allowing him to form the Round Table Council, and disbanding Hamelin, Shiroe decided to purchase a brick building in the outskirt of Akihabara close to the north border of the city zone as their guild base. Half of the reasons is that he may be involved in a series of grand events and discussions in the near future, thereby needing a spacious, flexible building.
There are 6 floors and 1 basement level. According to the guild base map on the right-hand side, each area is allocated as the following:
- Bathroom
- Restroom
- Shiroe's room ("guild office")
- Nyanta's room
- Minori's room
- Touya's room
- Kitchen
- Dining room
- Wooden deck
- Naotsugu's room
- Akatsuki's room
- Isuzu's room
- Rundelhaus' room
- Laundry room
- Water tank
Isaac came to help Log Horizon clean the building by assigning summoners to conjure Undines and wash the first two floors (in anime, all floors are washed and the windows to the building destroyed). Marine Organization was hired to build stairs connecting between floors. The Roderick Firm was also hired to repair a water tank and install a running water system.
Chapter 84 of the web novel refers to Shiroe's room as the guild's office (執務室) but notes that this designation is somewhat of an exaggeration, since Log Horizon is a small guild. However, because of Shiroe's duties with the Round Table Alliance, people often consult him on business, and he uses the room to receive visitor and petitioners. He spends so much time in this room that the other Log Horizon members joke that he's a "shut-in" (引きこもり).[2]

North Yorkshire Turtle Dove Project
The beautiful Turtle Dove is our smallest European dove. This tiny power house of a bird flies 11,200 km to reach North Yorkshire from Mali in Africa each spring.
Unfortunately Turtle Doves are in big trouble; their population has declined in both the UK and Europe to such an extent there may now be fewer than 100 birds nesting in the whole of Yorkshire. Only 50 years ago it was classed as a fairly common bird.
Why are Turtle Doves in trouble?
Turtle Doves are no different from many other birds; they need food, shelter and water. However changes in land management practices means there are fewer places they can find the tiny native seeds they prefer to feed on. They like to nest in large scrubby hedges or young conifer plantations. Ponds are essential too; these provide a good supply of drinking water. Their decline may have been worsened by hunting in southern Europe as they migrate in spring.
The new North Yorkshire Turtle Dove Project funded by Heritage Lottery, North York Moors National Park, Forestry Commission and Howardian Hills AONB in partnership with RSPB, Scarborough Borough Council, and North and East Yorkshire Ecological Data Centre, aims to help these birds. It will focus on where Turtle Doves have been recorded recently, principally around the forests of the southern fringe of the North York Moors National Park.
What are the project aims?
- Provide advice, training, support and small-scale capital work.
- Train keen farmers about Turtle Dove conservation so that they can spread the word amongst the farming community.
- Recruit volunteers to conduct surveys.
- Deliver talks and guided walks for local residents, schools and community groups.
- Create publicity and display material at key locations such as the Sutton Bank National Park Centre and the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre.
How can you help?
If you have a farm or are in control of land, big or small and you have areas which could be managed to improve feeding and/or habitat we need to hear from you. Turtle Doves love feeding on native seed from autumn sown pollen and nectar mix, flower rich arable field margins or wild flower grasslands. Helping to increase these areas of habitat will also restore the vibrant colour to our local countryside.
We also would like to know about any sightings you have in or close to the National Park or Howardian Hills. If you see a Turtle Dove please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or phone Richard Baines, Turtle Dove Project Officer at the National Park office on 01439 772700.
For further information see our leaflet about Turtle Doves and the Project.

Chapter 385 – Aunt Jing
Faint puffs of steam rose from the pond. However, they were unable to mask the alluring and erotic scene before Mu Chen.
Discovering the gaze coming straight from Mu Chen, a crimson shadow surfaced on her white, lustrous face. With a wave of her jade-like hand, a pillar of water rushed out, spraying towards Mu Chen.
As the icy-cold water drenched his body, Mu Chen finally regained his clarity. Hastily turning his gaze away, he felt awkward and embarrassed, while not knowing what Ling Xi was planning to do.
"Enter the pond and absorb all the Spiritual Energy within."
Ling Xi tried her best to submerge all of her body within the pond. However, due to the water level being quite shallow, it was unable to cover the entirety of her body. Puffs of steam rose into the air, causing her cold and indifferent-looking face to appear a pinkish-red. Gently biting her lip, she said, "Also, please mind your eyes. If you dare to look at me, I'll expel you from here."
Immediately, Mu Chen nodded his head in succession, before proceeding to jump straight into the water. Upon feeling the water in the pond, amazement erupted within his eyes. He clearly felt the pure Spiritual Energy contained within the water.
These fluctuations were clearly the Spiritual Energy from Ling Xi. She had actually assimilated her Spiritual Energy into the pond for me to cultivate!
Mu Chen was baffled for a moment, while a slightly complicated expression appeared within his eyes. Looking at the beautiful figure that still appeared exquisite and lovable within the thick clouds of mist, the rather spectacular curves on her body continued to extend out.
"Why did you do this?" asked Mu Chen in a soft voice. What Ling Xi had done was simply using her Spiritual Energy and giving it to him. Although it would increase his cultivation speed, her cultivation would temporarily come to a standstill. Although it was just for a short period of time, was there anyone in the world that would do such a thing for a stranger?
Sitting within the pond, upon hearing Mu Chen's words, a blank expression appeared within Ling Xi's eyes. That's right. Why would I help Mu Chen to such a degree? And yet, why wasn't there the slightest bit of rejection to such a thought within the depths of her heart…?
"I also don't know… Perhaps, this is something that I ought to do."
In a soft voice, Ling Xi replied, "Although I've lost my memories, the feelings within the depths of my heart didn't disappear. With them, I can feel that it's quite good for me to do such a thing."
After remaining silent awhile, Mu Chen started to sit down within the pond, while mist sprayed across his face. After quite a while later, a faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "Elder…Sister Ling Xi. Can I address you this way?"
A tremble shook through Ling Xi's lovable body. Raising her beautiful eyes, she looked towards the handsome youth smiling radiantly across the pond. For a while, she was unable to say anything. Within her heart, surging feelings seemed to impact her spirit. This caused a warm and gentle feeling to surface within her quiet and cold heart.
Therefore, a faint smile surfaced on her beautiful face as she gave a gentle nod.
"Relax, Elder Sister Ling Xi. Although I don't know exactly what relation you have with my mum, you have to believe in me that I'll definitely help you regain your lost memories! Regardless of who it was who did that to you, I'll definitely help you!" Mu Chen spoke out resolutely and decisively, while a firm and bright light flashed within his eyes.
Looking blankly at the firm and resolute eyes of the youth in front of her, the warmness Ling Xi felt in her heart caused a sliver of warmth to appear within that frost-covered heart of hers. That was a feeling that had seemingly not appeared for a very, very long time, causing even her eyes to turn slightly red. Slightly tilting her head around and wiping her eyes with her hand, a gentle smile appeared on her face as she said, "That's good. I've now have a little brother. However, just firing off words isn't useful. As of now, you're too weak."
With a cheeky laugh, Mu Chen replied, "I'll try my best."
"Okay. You should start cultivating first," said Ling Xi with a faint smile.
Although he didn't know what this pond was, Mu Chen wasn't one bit affected. There were times when knowing such feelings within one's heart was enough. Speaking from one's mouth would instead make one appear hypocritical.
Therefore, gently nodding his head, he started to slowly close his eyes. The Great Pagoda Art within his body started to revolve, while black rays of brilliance extended from the surface of his body.
The water in the pond surged as if it possessed a conscious, and was rapidly gushing towards Mu Chen. As this happened, the black colour within the water endlessly continued to drill into Mu Chen's body.
All of this was the Spiritual Energy coming from Ling Xi.
This Spiritual Energy drilled straight into Mu Chen's body, instantly fusing within the Spiritual Energy within his body. At the instant when they fused together, abstruse black rays of brilliance erupted within his body. These black rays of brilliance irrigated throughout his body, flooding through every corner within.
The Spiritual Energy within his body started to increase at a furious rate!
Boundless Spiritual Energy rapidly revolved within his meridians. Continuing to pour endlessly into his aurasea, it was completely devoured by his Divine Soul sitting within with a single gulp. Black rays of light radiated from its entire body, appearing exceedingly abnormal and mysterious.
A feeling of his Spiritual Energy gradually growing more tyrannical rippled through Mu Chen's limbs and bones.
As Mu Chen sunk into the miraculous feeling of his Spiritual Energy growing stronger, the revolving speed of the Great Pagoda Art seemed to grow increasingly faster, greedily devouring the endless Spiritual Energy gushing into his body.
Within the pond, Ling Xi looked towards Mu Chen, who had entered a state of cultivation. Faintly curling up her slender legs and resting her snow-white chin on her knees, Spiritual Energy continued to erupt from her body. After assimilating into the water, it replenished that which had already been absorbed by Mu Chen.
As Spiritual Energy continued to flow out of her, Ling Xi could feel a faint feeling of weakness starting to erupt from the depths of her body. However, instead of stopping, wrapping her jade-like arms around her knees, a slightly vacant expression appeared within her beautiful eyes as she started to slowly close them.
A feeling of dizziness started to spread within Ling Xi's mind, Unknowingly, her consciousness started to gradually grow dark and dim.
Ling Xi's consciousness fluttered within the darkness, the feelings of helplessness caused her to feel afraid and frightened.
Within the darkness, there seemed to be fluctuations present, rippling out as they undulated. Faintly, there seemed to be some blurry pictures surfacing within her mind.
It was a stretch of bloody ruins, filled with the flames of war. A little girl, completely covered in dirt and grime, shivering as she curled up within the rubble within. Trembling and shivering, the neverending rain continued to pour down, causing her already weak and frail body to appear even more pitiful.
A stretch of dull-gray was already present within her eyes, while she was able to feel the encroachment of death. However, there wasn't much fear or dread within her. Although she was young, she had seen too much of the cruelty and indifference within the secular world. There was no one that cared, no one that liked her. Even if she was to disappear, it would not attract anyone's attention.
Ever since her birth till now, she had seemingly not felt a single sliver of warmth.
Her consciousness started to grow increasingly blurry. It seems that I'm about to die like this…
Unknowingly, the rain drops falling on her body had stopped. A figure seemed to appear before their eyes. Raising her head, she could faintly discern a gentle figure right in front of her.
The gentle figure extended her palms, rubbing Ling Xi's head. Under this gentle caressing, her originally cold and icy body unexpectedly started to warm up.
Within her blurry eyesight, she could feel this gentle figure giving her incomparable warmth, something that she had never felt before.
In the next moment, the gentle figure before her gently placed some food beside her. After rubbing her head once more, the figure rose up and walked off.
Looking at the figure gradually disappearing in the distance, a breath of courage that sprouted out from an unknown place erupted forth. Grabbing the food left for her, she stumbled and staggered, walking towards the direction the figure had walked to.
She continued walking, and walking. Time was not a concept to her now, continuing till all the energy within her body was drained. In the end, finally seeing the gentle figure that she couldn't seem to catch up to, her petite body finally collapsed.
Nevertheless, her body didn't hit the hard ground below, instead she landed within a warm and gentle embrace.
"Planning to follow me, little thing?" The gentle figure rubbed her head, while the voice ringing out was similarly warm and gentle.
"Em." Within her weakness, she tightly grabbed the sleeve of the lady, wanting to grab onto the last remnant of warm within her life.
"However, the place I'm going to is extremely dangerous. It's hard to predict whether it'll be fortunate or disastrous if you follow me…" After giving a gentle sigh, the gentle lady spoke out.
She drilled herself into the lady's bosom, greedily seeking the warmth within. For the sake of that warmth, she was willing to pay any price.
In the end, she followed the gentle lady and left.
"What's your name?"
"Ling…Ling Xi…"
"A really nice-sounding name."
"Really?…How should I call you…?"
"Okay, call me Aunt Jing." The gentle lady replied with a faint smile.
"Okay…Aunt Jing…"
"Come Ling Xi, I'll teach you how to cultivate… Firstly, you'll have to chose a Spiritual Art. Come, take a pick. These few are very formidable…"
"Okay. Let me see…is this alright?" Looking at the glowing scrolls before her eyes, radiating with astonishing brilliance, Ling Xi hesitated for quite a while. In the end, she looked towards the unassuming black scroll that was floating at a corner.
"Is there a problem? I can't choose it, Aunt Jing?"
"No…This martial art is split into two scrolls, Yin and Yang. The scroll before you is the Yin Scroll. I've left the Yang Scroll for my Little Mu'er. If you cultivate it, you'll suffer a lot in the future."
"Little Mu'er? Is that Aunt Jing's child?"
"Haha. That's right. He's a very cute little fellow, and is a little smaller than Ling Xi…"
Looking at the happy smile that had radiated from Aunt Jing's heart, a sour feeling erupted within her heart as she spoke out, "Then, why did Aunt Jing split up with him?"
Rubbing Ling Xi's head, Aunt Jing's expression turned into one of grief and dejection as she replied, "That's because I want to protect him…therefore, I can only leave him…"
Half-understanding Aunt Jing's words, Ling Xi nodded her head, and said, "Then, I'll cultivate in it."
"If you cultivate it, it'll bring a lot of trouble and danger for you…"
"I'm not afraid. Since Aunt Jing misses Little Mu'er that much, I'll cultivate in the same martial art. In the future, if I manage to find him, I'll bring him to see you." Ling Xi replied. As long as Aunt Jing became happy, she was willing to do anything.
Looking at the young and childish face of the little girl before her, the gentle lady gave a faint sigh. Raising her head to look towards a distant place in the endless horizon, that was a place she needed to returned to. A place that possessed strong power, and yet was extremely cold and heartless. Compared to that, she truly prefered staying in the small Northern Spiritual Realm. Her husband was there, with a little fellow that she was willing to give her all to…
Therefore, there were times that she had to make a choice. Due to that, for the sake of protecting that little fellow, even though she couldn't bear it, the only thing she could do was to leave.
Within the pond, Ling Xi's long eyelashes faintly trembled, Her eyes started to open, bit by bit, revealing the sparkling gem-like tears brimming within them. Gently wiping away the slashes of water on her face, she started muttering.
"Aunt Jing…"

|Lucene and remote index and java applet, with no java app server
|Mon, 10 Oct 2005 13:59:08 GMT
Here's my dilemma. For years, we have supplied paper documentation to our customers. Many pages of paper. All together, it makes a 3 foot stack when printed. Also for many years, customers have been asking for docs in electronic format, so, recently, I wrote some Perl scripts that convert our many legacy word perfect files into PDF format. (I shouldn't really call them legacy, as that is still what the documentation author writes in.) We generate some HTML pages as a wrapper, that break the 543 PDF files into different modules, and this gets placed on a section of our web site. The users can see the Module they want, and then grab an appropriate PDF for that module, and view it in their browser. Unfortunately, the names are things like MOD00_TBLS_FRMX.pgm.pdf, PGR254.S1.T33.pgm.pdf, etc. This is _somewhat_ transparent to we developers, but certainly doesn't make it easy for the end users to find the appropriate section of documentation that they want I would like to implement a search facility using Lucene, but I'm not sure of a few things. Given that I can generate the index here, at the same time I convert any changed WP files to PDF, and upload it to our web site, what then do I do with it. I don't see, from my interrupted attempts at perusing the Lucene docs, any functions for a Java applet to access an index that is on a remote site. We have no extra utilities available, such as a Java app server to run the search using RMI (I think I've read the Lucene docs enough to use the buzzword correctly. :-> ) It seems that I am going to have to write an applet that will download the index (2M, 1M zipped) to a users local hard drive, then use that index to find the appropriate PDF file, then download the PDF file, and start it in the users browser. I'm assuming a signed applet, since as far as I can tell from my reading, an unsigned applet won't let any write, or reads, to the local hard drive occur. Does this sound feasible? Would I be better off using Java app, and lava web start, to download a jarred index, and take it from there? I'm fishing for feasibility ideas right now, and any help will be greatly appreciated.

The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), in partnership with DHL, today (Thursday) publishes its latest Quarterly International Trade Outlook, which shows that confidence among exporters that their turnover will improve jumped in Q4 2016, ahead of further moves towards Brexit.
Although the number of businesses reporting that their export sales and orders would improve remained largely constant in the last quarter of 2016, businesses in both manufacturing and services are increasingly confident rolex replica that they will continue to improve turnover, and that profitability will increase or remain steady in the coming 12 months.
Anne White, Head of International Trade & Compliance, Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce Group commented: "The continued success of our International Trade services is evidenced by some statistics for 2016: £2.2bn of exports processed through the department, in 173 markets, 83 different industry sectors and 141 new clients. 2017 has made a flying start with the value of exports processed totalling over £85m.
"We have also recently launched our Global Membership offer which is designed to build awareness of the benefits of international trade and provide practical services for exporters and importers. The Global Membership provides cost effective, exclusive benefits and support for aspiring and established international businesses. Whether you are a member considering your first step into the global market place, or a foreign owned business looking to establish your first UK presence, the Global membership is there for you."
The BCC/DHL Trade Confidence Index, which measures the volume of trade documentation issued by accredited Chambers of Commerce, fell by 1.42% on the quarter – but remains nearly 5% up on the last quarter of 2015.
The results serve as a reminder that businesses are continuing to trade in spite of the uncertainty around Brexit. But to maintain this positivity, the government must focus on the fundamentals of the economy – helping exporters recruit to close a growing skills gap, and provide support for those seeking to navigate currency fluctuations.

STUDENT leaders and MPs today (Wednesday) attacked government plans for extra tuition fees.
Education Secretary Charles Clarke was publishing a White Paper on the future of higher education, with é3,000 top-up fees for university courses which could leave graduates with average é15,000 debts.
But, in a bid to placate angry Labour MPs, Mr Clarke was expected to announce that é1,000 grants for poorest students will be restored and top universities will have to prove they are recruiting less well-off students.
And the government is also expected to scrap "up-front fees", with repayments when students are working and earning at least é15,000 a year.
But the moves, which have split the Cabinet and are opposed by at least 100 MPs, were attacked today by former Labour minister Lord Hattersley as "idiotic" and by student leader Will Straw.
Mr Straw, who is president of the Oxford student union and son of Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, said that some students would be left with debts of é21,000 - and it would have an effect on the number of students who go to university.
Tory education spokesman Damian Green said the plan was a serious attack on academic freedom and basic fairness. "You'll get children who work hard and get good A-level grades, but who will then be told their face doesn't fit, perhaps because they went to the wrong school and they can't go to the university of their choice," he said. "It's monstrous."
Liberal Democrat Phil Willis said the government had broken countless promises and betrayed future generations of students.

By: Megan Makuck, Investor Advocacy Clinic Intern Fall 2017
The circumstances that create a need for Inherited IRAs are never ideal. However, as they inevitably come about, and because Inherited IRAs can be complex, it is important to have a general understanding of how they work and what your options are as a beneficiary to one.
Upon setting up a Traditional or a Roth IRA, the account holder designates one or more beneficiaries. When the IRA account holder passes away, the beneficiary inherits the IRA. Brokerage firms have a process in place for handling this, which typically starts with filling out a beneficiary claim form. Before the beneficiary makes any other decisions regarding the newly inherited IRA, he or she will want to read up on how Inherited IRAs operate. Brokerage firms can provide this information. Keep an eye out for the distribution rules and the consequences of withdrawing funds from an IRA. The IRS is a great source to learn about tax-related information, as it can get complicated.
As a beneficiary, the options available for inheriting an IRA depend heavily on whether the beneficiary is a spouse or non-spouse. When a spouse inherits the IRA, he or she has five options.
- The spouse can treat the inherited IRA as his or her own by opening a new IRA account with the beneficiary as the account holder.
- The spouse can roll the inherited IRA into his or her own current traditional IRA account or qualified employer plan.
- The spouse can keep the IRA as it is and remain as the beneficiary to the inherited IRA. This will require changing the title of the IRA to appropriately reflect this decision.
- The spouse can take a lump-sum distribution.
- The spouse can choose to not accept ownership of the IRA at all.
A non-spouse beneficiary has similar, but fewer, options than a spouse would have when inheriting an IRA.
- The non-spouse can open an Inherited IRA account and transfer the assets into that account.
- The non-spouse can take a lump-sum distribution. This option is the same as the one available to a spouse beneficiary.
- The non-spouse can choose to not accept ownership of the IRA at all just as a spouse can choose.
Inherited IRAs introduce new rules and requirements for taking out distributions, properly titling the IRA account when transferring, and choosing which funds to keep and which funds to sell. FINRA provides an Investor Alert outlining in more detail the landscape that surrounds Inherited IRAs and answering questions you may not have even known to ask.

The atmosphere is the body of air which surrounds our planet. Most of our atmosphere is located close to the earth's surface where it is most dense. The air of our planet is 78% nitrogen and just under 21% oxygen; the small amount remaining is composed of carbon dioxide and other gasses.It is a mixture of gases encircling the Earth and held by the Earth's gravity. This invisible mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide, and water vapor protects the planet from harmful radiation and makes life on it. (Atienza et al., 2012)
Atmosphere and Ecology
The atmosphere implies the protective blanket of gases, surrounding the earth:
(a) It sustains life on the earth.
(b) It saves it from the hostile environment of outer space. …show more content…
The Greenhouse Effect
Even though only a tiny amount of the gases in Earth's atmosphere are greenhouse gases, they have a huge effect on climate.There are several different types of greenhouse gases. The major ones are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. All of these have molecules with three or more atoms. The atoms are held together loosely enough that they vibrate when they absorb heat. Eventually, the vibrating molecule will release the radiation. The radiation will likely be absorbed by another greenhouse gas molecule. This process,

Alpha seven energy is an organization that shows no respect for new employees and only chokes them with work without any rest. Such organizations are a blot to the society where employees are not provided with adequate incentives that they deserve saying that it is just for the first 6 months, no wonder they consider providing it later too or these are just lame excuses to turn down the things employees actually deserve especially those employees who are dedicated to work for the organization.
One of my friends recently left working in this so called esteemed organization that is working to provide high-quality service to its clients. Although I respect the job they are doing, but the way they are treating their employees is nothing more than shameless acts of exploiting human resources. Being a human resource manager myself, I feel pity for new joiners getting a position in this firm. Working at your firm was the first job for my friend, and the experience he got is so negative, no one would have ever thought how ill-treated these people are.
I and even all my fellow friends had never imagined that a name as big as Alpha seven energy could behave so badly with its employees. You want all the work on time, and if someone is getting you work swiftly and never fails to come office on time and leave only after completing all the work, what else do you expect from one such employee? He was an intern in my firm and I know exactly how he handles work and has always been an all-rounder and perfectionist. I don't doubt his capabilities, but this thing that he is an incompetent person is not at all acceptable.
But now hearing to his inside stories leave us surprised because it just doesn't make sense and I would really like to ask the management of this organization, do you even consider your new joiners as Employees or are they some part-time workers for you? Even the HR manager directly rejected any kind of incentives and salaries were never paid on time, saying that this will continue for 6 months and then, everything will be fine. It's like a pressure test asking one to bear this harassment for 6 months and then, after that, when your patience has become tired of working too hard and giving up seems like a better option, you give a shock that you have been fired, reason being performance not up to the mark.
If this is the way you hire employees just so to take out work from them and fire them after 6 months, make all the things clear from the very beginning. This is not the way, I won't let you people go like that. Treat your employees like humans, they are serving your organization with full dedication, show some respect for them as well. They are investing their time and energy to complete the tasks that you all ask, and your attitude towards them is pathetic.
I literally feel sorry for all the employees and would really like to ask the CEO of this organization, what do you think are the real assets of your company? Your employees and not your clients. Because you may get a better client again but once you lose a good employee, you may never get that again. Clogging your employees with long hours of work and providing them nothing in return is so bad, no employee deserves it. If you want employees to stick around, you need to keep them happy and motivated and the best way is by providing them with relevant incentives that marks the good performance of the employee.
I still don't understand how can people be inhuman and behave like they have no humanity left. You have given a lesson to my friend and even other employees who probably should search for new avenues as well because they should not work for people like you. Even my friend never deserved to work for a firm like yours. I am happy too as he will no longer work for such insensitive people and will only get better opportunities in the future. You all will have to pay for what you did to play with his future. Even God will punish you in the worst way that will turn your life hell just the way you tried to make his life.
I really want that you feel exactly the same you made him feel because only then you will realize the true value of an amazing employee. I will never recommend anyone to join your organization. I hope people check the real genuine face that you have rather than the ones you have created through your fake reviews.

The bats always found us kids; they were drawn by the clouds of mosquitoes that were attracted to our sweaty, half-naked bodies. The bats would trail behind us in an undulating mass, ducking and diving through the inky sky, scooping great mouthfuls of bugs out of the air. Having never seen a vampire movie, or a giant flying fox (a bat indigenous to Indonesia with a wingspan of six feet), we had no cause for alarm. When, on occasion, one of the critters would suffer an in-flight collision, we would rush to the stunned creature's rescue, and wrap it up in cloth while we searched out insects to feed it. Sometimes, the injured bat would get angry, glaring and lunging at us and yapping in an indignant tone until we let it go; usually, though, the little bat would stare up at us from its swaddling, scared and quivering. After a few days, it might calm down enough to eat a cricket out of hand, smacking its tiny lips as if to say thank you as the legs disappeared down its throat.
With their wings folded, some bats resemble miniature bear cubs, tiny wolves, or furry little pigs; others have strange, flower-shaped noses and fan-shaped ears; but they all are warm-blooded, have fur, and suckle their young. Some are known to share food with hungry brethren, and to adopt orphans. In Bali, my friend had a bat that rode around in his shirt pocket and laughed.
Although I've yet to run into one on the street, there are 23 bat species native to California, 13 in the Bay Area. Among our residents is the Mexican free-tailed bat, which can fly up to two miles high to feed, or catch tailwinds and reach speeds of more than 60 miles per hour, and the pallid bat, which claims the scorpion and the centipede as delicacies. A small colony of either bat is a natural boon to farmers, ingesting several tons of insects each night. Paradoxically, bats are now endangered by the insecticides that are on and in the bugs they eat. Before man, the bat had no natural predator (numbers were controlled by low birth rate and mineral deficiencies). Now, it needs all the help it can get.
Dr. Scott Sims, D.V.M., operates a state-of-the-art equine surgery that sits on an idyllic five acres in Novato; the facility includes several stables and a fully padded knockout room outfitted with an electronic winch and self-draining floors. Sims is devoted to horses, but the Pegasus emblem that adorns the sign at the bottom of his driveway suggests his second passion: birds.
Stepping out of the morning drizzle into Sims' office, I am given a fierce looking-over by Maestro, a witty African gray parrot. Maestro hops off Sims' shoulder and tiptoes down the counter to give my lip a firm tug.
"Don't give him any fingers," warns the doctor. I follow Sims into the modest apartment attached to his front office and watch him put on his shoes. Maestro does some yoga positions and plays dead.
"I'll treat anything," Sims says, and he's not kidding. Sims even does surgery on wild bats. He may be the first vet to ever successfully repair a broken bat wing for release.
"I didn't really know anything about bats," Sims continues. "Pat just called me one day because she heard I worked on birds, and she had a bat with a broken wing." Pat is Patricia Winters, the education and rehabilitation director for the California Bat Conservation Fund, and a Novato resident who can be spotted tooling around in a white Honda Civic bearing the license plate "Bat Maam." Winters takes injured bats into her home, sometimes as many as 200 in a year, and restores them to health. With the help of Sims, even broken wings are no hindrance, even tiny broken wings.
"The smallest bat I've pinned," says Sims with no uncertain pride, "weighed 3 grams. It had a broken femur. Without my glasses, I couldn't even see the bones. The whole bat could have sat on a 50-cent piece."
Sims leads me back toward his office, and to the examination room, where two roosters await somewhat experimental de-crowing. (If it doesn't work, they're drumsticks.) Behind us, Maestro meows like a cat. (The bird will call Sims from the other room in the voice of his mother, his father, his receptionist, or his best friend.) As planned, Liz Cook from Sacramento Wildlife Care arrives with a small plastic container holding a female Mexican free-tailed bat that had a compound fracture five weeks before. The bat wakes slowly, stumbling around the white countertop on her folded wings, blinking in the bright light. (Bats are not blind.) Sims looks her over.
"She's a tub," he says, laughing and putting the mouse-sized face in a plastic sandwich bag attached to an anesthesia tank. "She'll never get off the ground with that weight. Eating must be good over at Wildlife Care." The little bat struggles, until her eyes close and her mottled belly rises and falls with deep breaths. She looks like a little bear. Sims spreads her wing.
"All the same bones as in the human hand," he says, looking over the leathery expanse with admiration. He places the small bat on a mammography machine and takes some much-magnified X-rays. The break is healing well, but Sims wants to wait before he removes the pin. Back in her carrying case, the little bat wakes slowly and hides herself between the folds of a towel.
"Some bats are shy, some are not," Patricia Winters says inside her cozy, one-room apartment on the top floor of a big white barn on Morningstar Farms. Clean, warm, bright, and sunny, Winters' apartment is the unlikely home of no fewer than 20 bats on any given day. Aside from the constant chirping of crickets and several rows of nondescript plastic cases covered in cloth baby diapers, you might never know.
As a child, Winters rescued a baby bat from a flea market in Riverside. It lived only a few years, but in that time it became an irreplaceable member of Winters' family. Years later, at the age of 46, Winters heard a lecture by bat expert Elizabeth Pearson. Winters volunteered and began working with Pearson in the field, eventually returning to school for her degree and a full-time job as an educator and rehabilitator.
Winters opens one of many large plastic boxes and pulls out Wolfman Jack, a nut-brown pallid bat with one wing shorter than the other.
"Wolfy can't fly," says Winters, holding the petite bat in her hand, "but he's talkative and happy." As if on command, Wolfy starts chortling and settles down to a smile that reveals two rows of tiny, pointed teeth. Winters offers Wolfy a cricket, which he contentedly munches while we talk. Pallid bats hunt on the ground, where they can be stomped by horses; they often land on people's porches to get out of the wind and are beaten with brooms. Wolfman Jack came in with a badly crushed and infected wing. Rather than amputate completely, Sims was able to save most of the wing above the wrist. Now, the 12-year-old male is an education bat. Winters tickles his feet, and Wolfy laughs, his big ears wobbling. Wolfy has a crush on Jennifer, but Jennifer, a hand-raised premature baby, is a bit stuck on herself: She flirts with Wolfy only to get his crickets, then storms off on her little wings. Recently, while on the set of The X-Files (along with 13 of Winters' other bats), Jennifer had refused to hang from the rafters, preferring, instead, to land on the face of the "scientist" body double to beg for cookies. Old habits die hard.
Winters wakes the matron Princess Tiffany, a velvety brown long-eared myotis who has been in the family for 13 years. Tiffany recently retired from the school circuit. Cream Puff, a silvery, slightly arthritic hoary bat, has also happily retired, but not before a scene-stealing performance on The X-Files.
"She was the only bat that stayed on her mark," laughs Winters. "As Jen was being peeled off the double's face, Cream Puff was just sitting there, good as could be."
I peer into a newly constructed flight cage in the corner of the clean, bright living room and just make out the shape of a small bat hanging upside down in the gloom. Until recently, there was no flight cage here, and the recovering bats had full range. While most of Winters' live-in characters -- those bats who appear in school lectures and in the rare television spot -- cannot fly for one reason or another, during the course of a year, Winters takes in, rehabilitates, and releases as many as 200 bats. This year, she released at least 50 infants back into the wild. High season in this apartment, before the flight cage, must have been outlandish.
"Yeah, I got a little tired of them strafing my potato salad," laughs Winters, who, aside from her penchant for bat-motif jewelry, appears to lead a pretty normal life with her furry companions. At least during daylight hours.
"If bats get fed regularly," explained Liz Cook, "they don't really care about flying much. As long as they have food, they're happy."
"I go through 20,000 mealworms and 2,000 crickets per month," assures Winters. "They like their mealworms." Jennifer finishes one off and licks her lips with an appreciative smack.
"They like their mealworms."

Thank you for highlighting and enlightening me at this session It opened up lots of questions but also gave me a great deal more answers. Quantifying some of the my intrinsic questions I have about certain aspects relating to this subject.

Hi, Tim.

Thanks, Julie Anne. I very much enjoyed your presentation style. I found the personal examples of dissociation you shared engrossing, and I went away with a much clearer understanding of some of the ways in which it can be triggered and experienced. I'm looking forward to your subsequent sessions. This was great value.

Valencia, Spain
Share |
I was born in Martin, a small city in the heart of Slovakia, but studied management in the capital. During the university I also spent a year in Vigo, Spain. After finishing my studies I lived for a few years in the north of Italy but moved back to Spain where I just love it. Especially here in Vale ncia I feel inspired by the country and the city, it's different shapes and atmosphere which make me create semi-abstract paintings in vibrant colors and metallic accents. Creating my artworks I use a spatula and pincels to apply acrylic on canvas.
Artwork is coming soon.

My emotional IQ is low when it comes to my own self-awareness. It's so easy for me to see what's truly bothering others, but when it comes to myself I'm clueless.
Anger and okayness are the only two, that's it. A few years ago I noticed most of my anger came from feeling sad and because I wasn't okay with feeling weak (sad) I easily shifted the vulnerability to anger and violence.
This felt like a massive breakthrough, except I wasn't necessarily doing anything to correct my bad habit with creating a ruckus. It was just easier to recognize I was actually feeling sad and trying to bury it by creating the ruckus (creating my own chaos).
One medium I've always felt able to express myself with is music. And whaddya know, the songs that spoke to me the most were the ones that could do the Emotional IQ talk for me. Did that make any sense? haha.
For example, Grey Street by Dave Matthews has been one of my favorite songs from the band for over a decade. I never thought much about why only focused on how it made me feel.
And for a better part of that decade, I was unconsciously belting out the lyrics that described me perfectly.
Oh, look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out onto Grey Street
She thinks, "Hey, how did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place"
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together – to grey
And it breaks her heart
[Verse 2]
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her it might
She says, "I pray
But they fall on deaf ears
Am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place?"
There's a loneliness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together – to grey
And it breaks her heart
[Verse 3]
There's a stranger speaks outside her door
Says, "Take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
It'd take the work out of the courage"
But she says, "Please
There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door
I live on the corner of Grey Street
And the end of the world"
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'd do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together – to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To grey
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is pay attention. You're smarter than you think.
Now to keep up with my promise to practice gratitude to fight my tendency to forbode joy: Currently feeling gratitude towards this protein bar tasting like a maple glazed donut, haha. What are you feeling gratitude towards? Let me know in the comment section, below.
I play better on Instagram than Facebook but regardless, be my friend online. RamblinRandol is my quest for true belonging.

Sadly, children in China are dying from Melamine-contaminated infant formula, the same ingredient that was found to have helped kill thousands of pets in the U.S. last year.
The scandal is growing as we are finding Melamine now on grocery shelves in the U.S.
Urge the Food and Drug Administration to stop the import of dairy ingredients from China until this situation is under control >>
We didn't learn our lesson last year and imported million of pounds of casein and other powdered milk proteins - ingredients that are used in many processed foods such as cookies and chocolates - from China.
And according to USDA figures, this year the U.S. has already imported 2 million pounds of casein and other powdered milk proteins from China. This includes 293,000 pounds that were imported in July, when some Chinese authorities were aware of the Melamine contamination yet failed to act!
While other countries are moving to ban the Chinese dairy products, the U.S. has not. With your help, we'll fix that. Keep deadly chemicals out of your food - tell the FDA to block dairy imports from China >>
With gratitude,
Robyn E.
