Material increases to our EPS f'csts and PT; maintaining OP rating
Flour Mills of Nigeria's (FMN) Q1 2018 (end-Jun) and Q4 2017(end-Mar) results came in ahead of our forecasts. In Q1 2018, the key driver behind the positive earnings surprise was solid topline growth of 25% y/y which completely offset significant increases in opex and interest expense.
In addition to the robust sales growth, fx related gains of N3.2bn on the other operating income line also contributed to the strong results. In contrast to Q4 2017 (end-Mar) when a pre-tax loss of –N6.6bn for the foods division constituted a drag on Group earnings, the division was the key earnings driver in Q1 2018, with PBT of N6.5bn or around 104% of Group PBT.
The gains by the foods business was partially offset by the pre-tax loss of – N1.7bn delivered by the agro-allied division – which was the major earnings driver in Q4 2017. Following the strong results in Q1 2018, we have increased our EPS forecasts by 13% on average over the 2017-19E period and our price target by 16% to N35.0.
On a relative basis, FMN shares are trading on a 2018E (end-Mar) P/E multiple of 8.3x for 51% EPS growth in 2018E. This is more compelling than the average P/E multiple of 36.4x for 21% EPS growth that our universe of consumer names is trading on. Our price target implies a potential upside of 21% from current levels. As such, we retain our Outperform rating on the shares.
Q1 PBT up by 6% y/y
FMN's Q1 2017 (end-Jun) PBT grew by a modest 6% y/y to N6.2bn, much slower than the 25% y/y growth reported on the topline. A combination of factors including a 124bp y/y contraction in gross margin to 11.6%, a 23% y/y rise in opex and a 74% y/y spike in net interest charges were the primary factors underpinning the subdued PBT growth relative to sales.
Further down the P&L, PAT declined by 3% y/y to 4.1bn mainly because of a 2.1x increase in minority interest to N490m. In Q4 2017 (end-Mar) FMN's PAT grew to N2.2bn from a post-tax loss of –N4.3bn in Q4 2016. Although Q4 sales grew by 71% y/y to N135bn, the firm reported a modest PBT of N179m.
The key factors underpinning the subdued PBT included a 153% y/y spike in interest expense, a 17% y/y rise in opex and a -279bp y/y contraction in gross margin to 9.8%. However, thanks to a tax credit of N1.3bn, and a positive result of N771m in other comprehensive income, PAT expanded to N2.2bn compared with a pretax loss of N4.3bn in Q4 2016.

Thoughts and stories that aim to inspire from Bunni Pounds. Former Candidate for Congress, Public Speaker, Political Consultant, and Fighter for Liberty. A little bit about me: I got a theology degree before I got a political science degree. I try to live life on purpose and love people!

The Lord is MY Shepherd (Enduring to the End - Part 3)
By Bunni Pounds
We skip right over Psalm 23 in our Bibles because we have read it so many times that we don't even think about the words anymore.
Regardless of the many pastors and spiritual leaders in our lives, there is really only one ultimate GOOD and perfect Shepherd of our lives.
If anyone tries to take that place in our hearts then we have to ask - why? Why are they trying to be the ultimate leader in our lives? Are they thirsty for control? Do they think we should serve them ultimately?
I led worship for over twenty years in multiple churches that we were placed in - always as a volunteer, never taking a paycheck for it.
One Sunday I told a pastor I served with that my mom was coming in from Indiana for just three days and that I would like the next Sunday off to spend some quality time with her. We lived in Dallas.
Instead of thanking me for everything I did as a worship leader and telling me that he wanted me to spend good time with my family and get some rest, he went in the opposite direction. Going into a story about Jesus when he was approached by the man who wanted to bury his father, but Jesus said something like - Who is your family? Let the dead bury the dead. Follow me. Your family are those who do the will of God.
He asked me what was more important to me - God or my physical family?
In that moment, he thought I should put him and his church in the ultimate place in my heart.
When we talk about "spiritual abuse", this is a perfect example of it. I hate to even use that term but unfortunately if you have been around the church for any length of time, you know it is real. It makes me sick that people would twist scripture or allow themselves to think that they can be the ultimate Shepherd in people's lives.
"The Lord is MY Shepherd - I shall not want."
My husband, Tim, as a young believer had a pastor tell him that serving at his church was more important on a Saturday night then going to his high school reunion. Tim doesn't remember for one moment what happened that night at church, but he does remember that he missed his 10 year high school reunion and he regrets it.
Don't ever let any leader, any church, or any movement take a place in your heart as an idol or you will be easily manipulated or swayed in the wrong direction.
We, as believers in Christ, are to honor our leaders and pastors and move together in unity in the churches and organizations that God places us in, but we cannot let even the best of leaders take the ultimate leadership over our hearts. Only Jesus should have that place. Jesus is our Good Shepherd.
If we keep the first place the first place, then when leaders disappoint us or go astray, we just keep moving forward because we are shepherded by the faithful and true Shepherd.
Our heavenly Father is the one who makes us "to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." (Psalm 23:2-3)
Jesus is the one who "anoints our heads with oil." He is the one who "prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies."
He is the Good Shepherd!
Read Psalm 23 again and ask God to give you fresh eyes to see His beautiful leadership in your life.
The pastor that I am referring to in this first story ultimately destroyed his church. He took on all the elders, wanting supreme control, causing them to resign. He become so full of anger and pride to a point where no one could work with him. He was a great preacher and a good worship leader but he tried to take the ultimate lead Shepherd place in people's hearts and it destroyed a very good church.
There is much spiritual abuse going on in the church even now where people get sideswiped and their souls get bruised with disappointments and moral failings by their leaders.
We are looking for strong fathers and mothers in the faith, real discipleship, true community and unconditional love, and we get shocked when the leaders we love and trust fall into lust, immortality or get so full of arrogance and pride that they won't listen to anyone else.
What do we do when that happens in our lives? How do we go on in the Body of Christ?
It is not easy. As I look back over my life in the church, I see a whole bunch of wreckage - people's lives destroyed by spiritual leaders.
When we started our house church that lasted over a decade, we started by inviting those wanderers, those people that had been sideswiped by the church over to our home. That mission lasted for ten years and many hearts were restored and healed, but the work is not over.
What do we do when we get knocked off the path by spiritual leaders - when we get so hurt and full of pain that we can't see the road ahead of us and we just want to get off the road?
The answer is in Psalm 23. The Lord is MY Shepherd.
We have to put our eyes back on Jesus - the true and faithful Shepherd of our souls. We have to cry out to Him for Him to heal our hearts and our souls and allow us to trust again.
The teacher-pastor in the second story about my husband's high school reunion turned out to be a closet homosexual who died of pneumonia via AIDS a year after he married us. No one knew and saw it. We had no idea and it destroyed our church when people found out.
As young believers that could have easily taken Tim and I out for the count. We could have stopped right there when right after our wedding, our church breaks up over this revelation. A spiritual teacher in our life who meant so much to us had a secret life.
What do we do in moments like those? We were 21 and 28.
Do we drop out of church forever? How do we ever trust again?
Do we then discount all of the amazing Biblical and sound teaching that we had just been given (for my husband it was three years of his life)?
Was all the words of affirmation that he spoke over our lives all lies too?
How did we not have discernment? How stupid could we be? Maybe we don't know God ourselves?
All of these are questions that go through your head when you experience something so traumatic.
When I look back over our life during that season now, I think about all the amazing Bible truths I learned about our connection to the people of Israel, praise and worship, the depths of Passover and the biblical feasts, and so much more.
We named our first son ISRAEL because we had been taught so much by this man concerning our connection as believers to the Jewish people that we loved the people of Israel.
In the end, we had to move forward - throwing out the bad and keeping the good of what we had been taught in that season. God's Word will not return void even when it comes through imperfect vessels.
In reality, all of us are imperfect as leaders and have blind spots somewhere. We shouldn't be in leadership if we have moral compromise, but even a leader who is trying to live out the Bible with a pure heart still will disappoint us at some point. No one is perfect because no one is the ultimate good and perfect Shepherd.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23:4-6)
Remember this is a promise today. If you have been sideswiped by leadership in your life.
Don't stop.
Don't quit.
Take this promise - Goodness and mercy is following you and you WILL DWELL in the house of the Lord FOREVER.
Run back to Jesus to heal your heart and tell Him all your disappointments and hurts. I can see Him pouring oil over your heart even now.
I have found that He is faithful to my heart. The Lord is MY Shepherd.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced that its Haven OnDemand cloud-based machine learning platform has exited beta and is now commercially available. Built on top of Microsoft Azure, the service includes about 60 APIs with machine learning capabilities for building data-rich applications.
HPE says the service is for both enterprise application development teams and startups. "Developers are good at what they do, but they are not statisticians and mathematicians," said Colin Mahony, senior VP and general manager for HPE Big Data. "They want us to take a lot of the statistics, heuristics, and machine learning, and build it into things that do advanced text analytics, or basic format conversion, facial detection, etc."
Haven OnDemand has a free tier, and paid plans start at $10 per month.

Specialist Certifier 4- COMPANY: Questions and Answers
by Bregs Blog admin team
Following on from our three widely-read Q+ A posts from a specialist certifiers (a registered engineer, architect and building surveyor) we received this contribution from a company who will be providing certifier services. As with previous posts these standard questions are the ones a client or design team would ask of any potential specialist Certifier. We recently invited submissions from surveyors, engineers and architects who intend to provide specialist certifier services for SI.9 to the construction industry. We think these four posts are very practical information for practitioners and consumers alike regarding anticipated duties and timescales, and consequent costs to design teams and clients of Building Control (Amendment) Regulation (SI.9 of 2014).
As this is an opinion piece, we do not endorse or recommend any practices, interpretations or duties in this post. Many thanks to Eóin Leonard of i3PT Certification for submitting this post
(email:email@example.com; W: www.i3pt.ie : www.i3pt.co.uk)
Specialist Certifier 3- COMPANY: Questions and Answers
What are your qualifications? BEng, CEng, MIE, MIFireE, MIEI, PMP, CDCDP : i3PT Certification are a multidisciplinary certification body with engineers and chartered engineers from M&E, Fire, Structural and Civil engineering backgrounds working on our team. We also hold Project Management, Data Centre-specific and other specialist qualifications within our team. While one individual signs as Assigned Certifier, our clients get the benefit of the full team.
Do you require a full design team to be appointed to projects for which you assume certifier roles? Yes, always. I3PT Certification are not a design team and as such remain fully impartial as Assigned Certifiers.
Do you have Professional Indemnity insurance, and if so to what level? Yes, insured to €20,000,000.00 for PII and can offer extended reporting periods for larger, higher consequence class projects.
Will you undertake roles of assigned and design certifier on projects? Yes, but demand has primarily been for Assigned Certification. i3PT Certification conducts design review against TGD Part B related systems irrespective of whether or not we are appointed as Design Certifier. We also sometimes require Peer Review or 3rd Party design review for critical building elements to ensure robustness.
What are your charges- is it lump sum or %? Charges are specific to each project, based on scale, complexity and risk. A lower value apartment block for example might be more onerous and time- consuming than a higher value industrial build. As such, percentages are difficult to rely on.
For typical house (120 sqm value €180k) what would a "normal" certifier service and charge be for design and assigned certifier role? I3PT Certification are not engaged in the one-off residential sector but we can offer quotations once applications are made via www.i3pt.ie
For typical house what level of inspection would you anticipate? Again, this would vary depending upon speed of build, complexity, materials used and the presence of qualified professionals in the team. It is important however to note that a good deal of the Assigned Certifiers work will take place off-site also and inspections only make up a percentage of the ultimate costs.
Do you have a breakdown for a typical house inspections vs administration? It would be close to 60:40 but I know of a project we have engaged in where it is 75:25. The greater the scale and complexity, the greater the number of inspections. The larger the team, the more coordination is involved. There are no set ratios.
What forms of appointment do you use? We have a tailored contract for Assigned Certifier appointments. It has been drafted specifically to cover the SI 9 requirements and offer optimal protection for our clients.
What level of information do you require from other professionals involved in projects? E.g. as-built drawings on completion etc? Our Quality Management System is quite detailed but as a minimum we require detailed drawings, specifications, program of works, inspection reports and ultimately Ancillary Certificates from all consultants and specialists.
Do you provide certification services for self-builders, owners without 3 years relevant contracting experience, or will you certify only CIRI registered contractors? We are not engaged in the one-off residential sector but we would be very unlikely to accept a self-build project if we were. A competent, experienced builder is central to the efficacy of BCAR.
Will you provide certification services for developers in the build for sale sector (i.e. employed by developer)? No.
Can you provide fire safety certificate and disabled access certificate services also? While we have the in-house expertise necessary and therefore could offer this, it would constitute a design service and as such would present a potential conflict of interest for a certification body. As such, this is not a service we currently offer.
Will you undertake certifier duties for self-builds? where the owner is not an established contractor, a building company or someone with 3 years relevant building experience? No
Can you undertake BER certificates? Not at this point in time.
Other information: i3PT Certification specialise in larger projects such as industrial, commercial, healthcare, education and large office builds. As a certification body we are 100% independent, as we do not offer design services and we are particularly well insured to deliver compliance on higher consequence class projects. We have our own proprietary cloud-based software for logging and tracking evidence of inspection during the construction project, CertCentral. Visit us at www.i3pt.ie

ASUS Eee PC may find it hard to dominate in 2008
by Tarinder Sandhu on 13 March 2008, 16:13

Now, ASUS has acknowledged that it will be utilising the low-power Intel Centrino Atom processor, in its Diamondville guise, as brains behind the outfit, replacing the incumbent Celeron and keeping costs down.
What's just as interesting is that the company expects the majority of projected Eee PC-based sales in 2008 - some 60 per cent, in fact - to be based on models shipping with Microsoft Windows XP operating system, with Linux-based operating systems making up the bulk of remaining sales.
ASUS is also bullish on the continued success of the nascent Eee PC line, indicating that it expects to ship some 5m units this year.
The original Eee PC was a success because it found a rather large niche in the market and exploited it fully. Second-generation models, kicking off with the Eee 900, starting at a projected £299, will do battle with a plethora of other Atom-powered 'netbooks' and entry-level laptops. Success isn't as easy to come by second time around.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 21 – As many as 7.4 million people have used the phase one and two of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Sungai Buloh-Kajang line since it began operating on Dec 16 last year. Chief executive officer of Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd Datuk Zohari Sulaiman said during this period, an average of about 100,000 commuters used the MRT each day on working days while on weekends, the number would rise to about 140,000.
This number of passengers is expected to increase during the 2017 SEA Games (KL2017) which is being held until Aug 30. "The station getting the most number of passengers is Bukit Bintang which takes people to the Kuala Lumpur Golden Triangle area where there are well-known shopping complexes like Pavilion and Lot 10," he told reporters after attending the Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kajang Utama (SMKKU) programme for Special Children.
Zohari said as the operator of the Light Rail Transit and MRT, Rapid Rail constantly held talks with the disabled persons associations and agencies in the effort to improve its facilities for them. "MRT is handicapped-friendly and we are always improving our facilities for them," he said. Commenting on the programme today, he said it gave the special needs students exposure to public transport.
"I hope they will use this service when they start working," he said. The programme involved about 120 special needs students of SMKKU who were given the chance to ride the MRT from the Kajang Station to the Merdeka Station and later taken on a visit to the National Museum and treated to a meal at the Sate Haji Samuri restaurant in Kajang. — Bernama

Client: Private Client
Architect: Tigg Coll Architects
The redevelopment of Elgin Cresent comprises of an extensive basement extension and lower floor refurbishment of a family townhouse in Notting Hill.
Designed by Tigg Coll Architects the brief was to excavate under the existing sizable house to increase the limited living spaces to give the kitchen/dining rooms more space and set a new reception, playroom, family room and gym below.
An additional guest suite has also been added at the front of the house. The proposed use of large internal lightwells allows natural daylight to filter right down into the new basement spaces, creating a series of stepped spaces which visually overlap and overlook across the 3 floors creating the feel of a lateral apartment.tigt

Once upon a time, a girl called Heide Hansen was born into a middle-class Munich family. She was destined to become a princess, married to Prince Godehard von Hohenzollern, whose family is linked to German kings and emperors.
But real life intruded upon her fairytale. The 14th-century Rhine River castle she and her husband inherited in 1988 threatened to ruin them – it was derelict and full of junk. Water had destroyed ceilings and wall panels. Trees were growing in through smashed windows. Selling the Hohenzollern family seat seemed the only option.
Instead, the Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern's appetite for classical music liberated them. Instead of selling the moated medieval pile on one of the most picturesque settings on the Middle Rhine, they devised a cultural and music program that indulged their passion while beginning to pay the bills.
They raised Castle Namedy's profile through cultural events such as the Andernacher Musiktage am Namedy, a chamber music festival that has as its patron the violin virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin, and in doing so attracted visitors and funding.
Heide's beloved Prince Godehard died suddenly in 2001, leaving the princess to manage the castle and business alone. Two-thirds of the castle still required renovation. Among many things, the heating, plumbing and electricity needed replacing. She accepted the challenge, proving that it isn't the name you carry that really matters, but the character you show.
The princess transformed her event business into a professional operation, adding weddings, conferences, and tours to the cultural program. Today, that program offers about 30 art events including jazz, classical music, theatre, readings, dance projects and fine art exhibitions.
And it's this resilient, down-to-earth woman we meet one luminous evening at Schloss Burg Namedy. Dressed informally in pants and sensible shoes, she welcomes us to her home with champagne and canapes. We've come to Namedy Castle and the 2000-year-old town of Andernach as part of a 15-day APT Magnificent Europe river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam.
The enchanting evening begins in the rose-swathed gardens as the sun mellows, continues as we explore the castle, including the red-walled baronial Knight's Hall, and ends with a three-course gala dinner and piano recital in the elegant Hall of Mirrors. It's a spectacular room of burnished panelling, parquetry floors, deep windows interspersed with mirrors with the grand piano as centrepiece.
Our dinner, which includes terrine with salmon and St Peter's fish and corn-fed chicken breast with tarragon, rosemary potatoes and seasonal vegetables is accompanied by a nice dry Grauburgunder, semi-dry riesling spatlese and cabernet sauvignon from Carl Finkenauer wines. The winery belongs to the husband of Princess Luise Dorothea, Prince Godehard's sister.
A highlight of this gala dinner – which ends with a perfect punctuation of coffee and delectable Goufrais pralines – is a performance by 25-year-old Galyna Gusachenko. The Ukrainian pianist, who trained in Moscow and Hamburg, has already been recognised with numerous international piano prizes. She is completing her Masters degree at Europe's largest music academy, The Cologne University of Music.
Her beautiful rendition of pieces by Bach and Saint-Saens, Vladimir Horowitz and Franz Liszt are a poignant reminder of Prince Godehard's passion. After clearing out and renovating the Hall of Mirrors, he was delighted to discover its acoustics were good enough to attract eminent performers.
It's a really fun night, made more enjoyable with the knowledge that the fairytale appears to have a happy ending.
This survival-of-the-fittest scenario is replicated in other countries, including England. The Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, for example, have managed to maintain their family estate, Chatsworth, which has been passed down through 16 generations of the Cavendish family. Thanks mainly to the iron will of the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, the 11th Duke's widow, Chatsworth House became one of the nation's most popular stately homes. When she and the Duke inherited the family seat, they faced a massive tax bill, but transformed the estate into an international business through sheer determination.
Back inside our German fairytale, Princess Heide calls her castle "a meeting place – or begegnung – of past, present and future" and our visit has introduced us to a slice of German history and resilience.

TATTLERS - GOSSIPERS - BUSYBODIES Author NOT NAMED - been in my files for a few decades (Keith Hunt) "Have you heard?" "Now let me tell you" - "You wouldn't believe it!" "Now, I don't mean this as gossip - but I feel you should know .... " Remember Me? My name is Gossip. I have no respect for Justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age. The more I am quoted the more I am believed. I flourish at every level of society. My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me because I have no name and no face. To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become. I am nobody's friend. Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never quite the same. I topple governments and wreck marriages. I ruin careers, cause sleepless nights, heartache and indigestion. I spawn suspicion and generate grief. I make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses. I am called Gossip. Office gossip. Shop gossip. Party gossip. I make headlines and headaches. Before you repeat a story ask yourself, Is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary? If not- SHUT UP. Author Unknown Gossip is an ancient pastime. Evidently gossiper, caused a lot of trouble as far back as the time of Moses, for he wrote: "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people" Lev.19:16). Solomon wrote, "A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter" (Prov. 11:13). Pick your friends - but not to pieces! More people are run down by gossip than by cars! It happens not only over the back fence and behind closed doors - but also by phone, fax, radio and television (yes, even in the news) - and certainly through the sensational scandal publications that regurgitate filth at check-out counters. Even those who normally do not gossip seem to get some kind of titillation from reading headlines of this or that politician, TV evangelist, movie star, or other victim of the latest garbage (which maybe bold-faced lies). Some of it may be based on truth - but is often distorted beyond recognition. For that matter, what right do we have to indulge in the moresls of same poor soul's mistakes - even if it is true (or part true)! Unfortunately, there must be a lucrative market for such human sludge - or these publishers of trash would soon close up shop. It has been said, "It is better to say a good thing about a bad fellow than to say a bad thing about a good fellow!" People claim to be Christians - yet gossip and tear others apart, blow up when things don't go their way?! Hold it! Who are they trying to kid? - their religion is vain! "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is actin. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this; to visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." (James 1:26-27). Why not reach out to someone less fortunate than you - help someone who is having problems? How about giving a hand to the neighbors down the street - the people whose kids are pests and their house ramshackle! Perhaps they live under difficult circumstances and there is e reason why they don't excel in living an orderly life. Your help and concern may be the little boost they need. It helps to know someone cares! That sure is better than "talking about them!" Gossip is often passed on by those who have nothing to do but sit around and talk about others. If one is busy doing and saying good and right things, there is little time to get into trouble. "And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not." (I Timothy 5:13). There is plenty to do. If your days aren't full in putting food on your table and keeping your own home in order - consider getting busy with activities that will lighten someone's load and make you feel better, too. Try same of these: Bake for a neighbor. Visit the sick or elderly -run some errands or help in the home. Visit or minister in a convalescent home. Take a bouquet to someone - or drop a note to one who may be having a "glad day" or a "bad day." Pickup your phone and just "check in" with a shut-in who rarely gets a call from someone who cares. Get involved in ministry - prayer, visitation, music, Christian education, youth work, secretarial duties, providing floral arrangements to beautify the sanctuary, Bible studios for your work place or neighborhood. The list is endless! You can't spell "brothers" and not spell "others." People who busy themselves with activities that bless (instead of hurt) other people will find life much more rewarding! "Give and it shall be given unto you!" Give of yourself and people will give you their appreciation and love. If you choose to live this kind of life - you won't be prey to falling into the bad company that lurks in a run-down place called "Gossip Town." Have you ever heard of Gossip Town? On the shores of Falsehood Bay, Where old Dame Rumor, with rustling gown, Is going the livelong day? It isn't far to Gossip Town For people who want to go; The idleness train will take you down In just an hour or so. The "Thoughtless Road" is the popular route, And most people go that way; But it's steep down-grade; if you don't lookout You will land in Falsehood Bay. You glide through the valley of Vicious Talk, And into the "Tunnel of Hate;" Then, crossing the "Add-To-Bridge," you walk Right into the City Gate. The principal street is called "They Say," And "I've Heard" is the public well, And the breezes that blow from Falsehood Bay Are laden with "don't you tell." In the midst of the town is "Tell Tale Park" You are never quite safe while there, For its owner is Madam Suspicious Remark Just back of the park is "Slanderer's Row;" Twas there that Good Name died, Pierced by a shaft from Jealousy's how, In the hands of Envious Pride. From Gossip Town, Peace long since fled, But Trouble and Grief and Woe And Sorrow and Care you'll meet instead, If you ever chance to go. Harvey M. Barr, "Out of my Treasure," College Press Joplin. MO. If we're Christlike - we won't gossip and criticize. We won't automatically think the worst, believe the dirt we hear. (If we knew the whole story, we may marvel that the object of attack could stand up under such circumstances.) Instead, let's go to our knees and pray for those whose lives are full of pain and hardship! That kind of prayer is most effective "in one's closet." It is self-righteous deception to pass along things that shouldn't be said, prefaced by: "I'm just telling you this because I want you to pray with me about this problem." Of course, it is good to "agree" in prayer, but, God is quite capable of answering our "confidential" prayers without muddying the water by involving a third party! Being a Christian should make us more aware of the fact that we ALL are only human and have faults. The only people who have a right to be fault-finders - are people who study earthquakes! What makes us think we have any less faults than the one we're slashing with our tongues? Are we hiding behind deadly nit-picking and criticism of others to cover up our own inadequacies and short-comings? The fires of hostility and fault-finding are often fanned more viciously toward those whose abilities and behavior actually surpass the gossipers. Some people are more comfortable around those whose short-comings are more obvious, yet seem to disdain those who live right. Paul said it well: "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted" (Gal.6:1). Some introspection and a little time on the knees is a good cure! "There is so much bad in the best of us And so much good in the worst of us That it doesn't behoove any of us To talk about the rest o us! - Unknown It has been said "You better be careful, your tongue is in a wet place and is apt to slip!" If you don't want to do the things that cause trouble (for you as well as others), it is easier not to participate in slander and gossip, than to unravel the mess once you open your mouth. I once heard it said, "You are master over your words until you speak them, then they are master over you." It is best to "Button Up Your Lips!" - If you heard a bit of gossip, Whether false or whether true, Be it of a friend or stranger, Let me tell you what to do. Button up your lips securely, Lest the tale you should repeat, And bring sorrow unto someone Whose life now is not too sweet. If you know of one who yielded To temptation long ago, But whose life has since been blameless, Let me tell you what to do. Button up your lips securely, His the secret: God alone Has the gift to sit in judgment, Treat it as to you, unknown. Sometimes life is filled with troubles, Oft its burdens are severe, Do not make it any harder By a careless word or sneer. Button up your lips securely 'Gainst the words that bring a tear, But be swift with words of comfort, Words of praise and words of cheer. Let's read John 8:3-11 To the ACCUSED: He asked, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?" Then He set her free from her load of bondage and guilt - "Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more." Instead of "talking about her" or "stoning her," He who loves sinners, but hates sin, showed forgiveness, love, acceptance, and mercy! - setting an example of the character which He desires to develop in us. Judge Gently Pray don't find fault with the man that limps, Or stumbles along the road, Unless you have worn the shoes he wears Or struggled beneath his load. There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt, Tho' hidden away from view, Or the burden he bears placed on your back Might cause you to stumble, too. Don't sneer at the man who's down today, Unless you have felt the blow That caused his fall or felt the shame That only the fallen know. You may be strong; but still the blows That were his, if dealt to you In the selfsame way at the selfsame time Might cause you to stagger, too. Don't be too harsh with the man that sins, Or pelt him with word or a stone, Unless you are sure - yes, double sure That you have no sine of your own. For you know perhaps if the tempter's voice Should whisper as soft to you As it did to him when he went astray It might cause you to falter, too. Author Unknown A headline in our local paper caught my eye: "Gossip: Once it gets rolling, it's tough to stop." The article reports that researchers have found why gossip tends to be so nasty: Negativism is in the very structure of gossip, and gossip is usually done in the absence of its target. Yes - it's so easy to say something negative behind someone's back when the facts can't be challenged! It is easy to pass off such things "just human nature." It is! - the CARNAL nature. It would behoove each of us to set a watch on our lips (and ears) lest we unwittingly become involved in what seems to "just come naturally!" And, instead of just passively standing by when we hear negative remarks - why not challenge them?! Whether true or not, same things are better unsaid and serve no purpose in being dished up as unsavory tidbits to whet the appetite of the unregenerate nature! If we keep our relationship right with God, the Holy Spirit will nudge us when we are "off limits!" Stopping rumors will save every one from getting dirt on them. The benefit to the victim is obvious - but the subtle defilement that comes to the gossiper and hearer also, tarnishes their character as well. Gossip is a losing game for everyone! ..............

Victoria's landmark human rights statute almost got run down by a taxi today:
TRANSPORT Minister Lynne Kosky says an insane killer's appeal to drive a taxi was one of her first briefs as transport minister. The minister announced a change in legislation this morning, after the Herald Sun revealed a tribunal decision to grant the man taxi accreditation, despite pleas from Victoria's Director of Public Transport to ban him from the roads. A furious Ms Kosky slammed a loophole that allowed the killer to drive a cab because his acquittal was based on an insanity plea. "If this man was found guilty he would not be allowed to drive a cab, whether he had been rehabilitated or not," Ms Kosky told 3AW radio. "If he had been found guilty of manslaughter he wouldn't be able to drive a cab whether he had been rehabilitated or not. "Because he was found not guilty by reason of mental insanity he's actually allowed.
You've got to hand it to those Hun copy writers. 'Insane killer' is a masterpiece of accuracy without precision.
This is, of course, the case I covered three days ago. It's rare for me to be ahead of the Hun. But, fortunately, the events didn't fit the scenario I painted a couple of weeks back:
[T]he Charter will only come under threat if it becomes a political football – in other words, if something jolts the public from its present mood of indifference and ignorance.
That's because Macnamara didn't apply the Charter (or at least said he didn't), though he certainly said that what he decided was compatible with the Charter, at least leaving open the possibility that alternative approaches wouldn't be.
VCAT and Macnamara were the subject of the usual diatribes from the Hun's readers (some of whom weirdly blamed Hulls too) and some not especially veiled criticism from Minister Kosky:
"I don't want to comment on VCAT how they've made this decision. But I'm really disappointed because the intent of the legislation is very clear. "It is about making sure that customers feel safe when they're in a cab." Ms Kosky said she had worked tirelessly to clean up the taxi industry and was incredibly upset a decision was taken that may have jeopardised passenegers. "It is about the perception of safety in our cabs," she said. "Cab drivers are often alone with individuals in the cabs. "People who drive cabs have a special responsibility and I've got a responsibility to give that certainty to the public that they can feel safe every time they pop into a cab."
That's a specific criticism of Macnamara's interpretation of the word 'comfort' in s164 of the Transport Act. He didn't use the interpretation mandate to reach that interpretation, but only because he felt it wasn't necessary. (His view – correct, in mine – is that 'comfort' actually referred to upholstery and the like. No smelly taxi drivers!)
Kosky's hasty announcement of legislation reforming the 'loophole' in the Transport Act that allowed XFJ to fully escape the scheme for limiting the registration of offenders seems like exactly the sort of 'tabloid-to-statute-book' legislation that is commonplace in NSW. Fortunately, it seems that the legislation has been long in the planning and, for that matter, it makes perfect sense to close this particular loophole (which caught people found insane after 1997 but not before.) But that change won't keep XFJ out of the taxi drivers' seat. It seems obvious that Macnamara would have applied this provision if necessary, which allows all killers, even the super-scary non-insane ones, to clean up drunken passengers' vomit with VCAT's permission:
169N(1) A person- (a) whose application for the issue or renewal of a driver accreditation is refused on a ground set out in section 169(2)(b) or (c); or (b) whose driver accreditation is cancelled under section 169E- may apply to VCAT for an order that the Director issue, renew or reinstate the driver accreditation (as the case may be).
(2) On an application under subsection (1) VCAT may by order direct the Director to- (a) issue a driver accreditation to the applicant; or (b) renew the driver accreditation of the applicant; or (c) reinstate the driver accreditation of the applicant.
(3) VCAT must not make an order under subsection (2) to issue, renew or reinstate an accreditation unless- (a) VCAT is satisfied of the matters set out in section 169(1)(b); and (b) the applicant has demonstrated that the issue, renewal or reinstatement is appropriate having regard to the public care objective.
Will Kosky be repealing 169N too? And will she be redefining 'comfort' in s164 to expressly include the feelings of taxi passengers (including prejudices against 'insane killers')?
The really interesting question is: what statutory reforms would have been on the agenda if Macnamara had relied on the Charter for his interpretation of 'conduct', or for his view that the decision needed to be made in XFJ's failure and without regard to the unfortunate prejudices of Melbournians? The Human Rights Law Resource Centre's latest newsletter, released today, argues that he should have applied the interpretation mandate:
[T]he better view of s 32(1) is that interpretation of a statutory provision compatibly with human rights should be considered in the first instance, rather than only after some ambiguity or prima facie incompatibility has been identified. The Charter seeks to 'establish a framework for the protection and promotion of human rights in Victoria'. The purpose of s 32 is to establish a requirement that statutory provisions be interpreted in a way that is compatible with human rights. Consistently with these purposes, the Charter-compatible interpretation should now be regarded as 'ordinary' and 'normal'.
I entirely agree with the HRLRC.
But, then, the headline would have been "Rights Charter Puts Insane Killer on the Streets". And, you'd have to wonder, which Minister would be expressing his disappointment in VCAT and in the drafting of his department's legislation? And what statutory provisions would be up for hurried loophole-closing reforms? If I was the Charter, I'd be buying a lottery ticket today. And if I was Rob Hulls, I'd be drafting a clear, compelling and firm defence of the Charter now, ready for the inevitable occasion when the Charter places the public in 'danger' and the Hun and the Charter have a head-on smash.
