Next Opportunity: Europe Interchange in Berlin, Germany (31 Mar 2020); Register here.
Overview: CDISC standards are open and freely available as published PDFs. While these PDFs are easily understood by people, they are not machine readable. To create standards-compliant databases, CDISC members historically have had to review PDF standards documents and extract metadata from their classes, domains, variables and terminologies by hand. These metadata then had to be processed for inclusion in each electronic system. To provide machine-readable standards to our members, CDISC created CDISC Library (formerly CDISC SHARE).
What is CDISC Library: Built on a technology stack based on linked data, CDISC Library includes a new application programming interface (API) and standards development tools. With the CDISC Library API, users have access to an expanded metadata model, more machine-readable CDISC standards and controlled terminology to facilitate their implementation. Software developers can access CDISC standards and controlled terminology to support tools that utilize the API.
What is the value of CDISC Library and to whom: By providing CDISC standards' metadata in a machine-readable format, your team members such as data managers, biostatisticians or data standards experts no longer have to hand extract standards for your databases, reports or other electronic systems, including your organization's own metadata repository. System architects and programmers can directly utilize machine-readable standards from CDISC Library to incorporate them into your databases and applications. Each of these roles can also utilize CDISC Library's "Diff" files that specify what has been added, removed or changed from one version of a standard to another to perform impact analyses before adopting standards' new versions. This saves substantial time and money, while increasing quality and consistency.
CDISC Library helps users find, understand and use rich metadata and controlled terminologies relevant to clinical and translational studies. It also helps improve integration and traceability of clinical data from protocol through analysis by implementing CDISC's interconnected, non-redundant standards. Using CDISC standards through CDISC Library also facilitates aggregation of data to gain new insights to inform the research process, and improves interoperability with healthcare by aligning research concepts with external healthcare concepts. CDISC Library helps realize the promise of defining data standards once so data can be reused many times for multiple research purposes.
Tutorial Description: This tutorial will provide background on metadata repositories (MDRs), demonstrate how standards are managed and published using CDISC Libraryand its ecosystem of supporting tools, and show how to access electronic standards content in CDISC Library.
Examples of how CDISC Library content has been used in third party systems
Attendees must bring their own laptop to connect to the Internet to explore content in CDISC Library Archives (formerly CDISC SHARE Exports) and use the CDISC Library Application Programming Interface (API). To participate in hands-on CDISC Library API activities, access to a text editor (Notepad will do) and a modern browser are minimum requirements.
Basic computer skills are required to use CDISC Library Archives and the CDISC Library API.

What is coming around the corner? New content theme! Why am I so excited about this? Because I have been working on this for a long time and it's finally a good time to begin to get it out there. It's an important subject to me because I see it often; people not taking care of their self. They may be tired, sick, depressed, give up, lost, or confused about the next season of their life. What follows is they neglect their own health.
It took me going through a health scare to wake me up and it's been on my heart to talk about his, but I hesitated. It is important to think about yourself, even if you are a mom, or wife, or business person, so many hats. We wear so many hats and it can be overwhelming. What usually happens is ...

~Taking Care Of My Health
I'm taking a little bit of a detour for a bit from my normal writing. Today I want to talk about health and healing.
I don't have the energy I used to and you'd think that sitting down to write isn't a big deal, but when you have a mild case of rheumatoid arthritis, it slows you down. I find that I want to take a lot of breaks and sometimes it will turn into a nap. That just messes up my day.
This is new to me. I usually can sit for hours caught up in writing. But now, it's all I can do to sit and write for a half hour.
Today had to be the worst. I wrote this in small increments of time, I'd write a sentence and lay down. I wrote another and got up so I wouldn't be tempted to go lay down. I wrote another ...

Goodbye, Dear Friend
It was bound to happen. I knew one day I was going to have to say goodbye to my trusted, green friend. My little green Kia. She was already a bit old when I bought her, but I bought her anyway. Like picking out the runt of the litter, I chose her.
I sold my beautiful car I had before her right after my divorce. I was angry, bitter, lost and I wanted a car that separated me from the past. Well, that is what I got in my new little Kia.
This little car has seen me through years of trials. Struggles, deep snow, thunder and rain so thick I had to pull over to let it subside before I resumed driving.
I had several trips moving my baggage and boxes of my belongings from one place to another. It went fr...

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation: the old is gone, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5;17
Isn't that exciting? I think it is. If you are like me and have made mistakes in any area and looking for a do-over, well, putting your life in Jesus' hands is the best start for change. We are re-created. New. Old junk is gone and we are forgiven!
For me, it was shedding off the old, negative, awful attitudes that hurt so many people in my life. Guilt, shame, self-condemnation I held inside thinking it was over for me. I lost my confidence. I lost most everything. But I tried to hide it. I tried to put on the face of strength. That doesn't work because it comes back to you. Once I truly ...

This is not the post I was intending to write, but, for now it's what I need to share.
Sometimes we need to just be quiet and listen in silence. There is much wisdom to be had in silence. Our immediate struggles and confusion can be solved in silence.
It's said that we have the answers inside of us, already. All we need to do is get still, quiet and out of our own way.
Confusion comes even when you are on the right track. It happens. We could be doing too much. We get so excited and want to keep going when we should stop, take a break, but we don't. We keep going until our mind plays tricks on us and then we get off course. For course correction, get quiet. Find peace and listen to that still small voice that will lead you back.
I did that. I w...

On 13 November 2015, Antoine Leiris's wife, Hélène, was killed, along with 88 other people at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris, when three men armed with guns and suicide bombs opened fire on the unsuspecting crowd at a rock concert. Three days later, Leiris, a young journalist, wrote an open letter on Facebook addressed to his wife's killers. Leiris refused to be cowed or to let his 17-month-old son's life be defined by Hélène's murder. He refused to let the killers have their way. 'For as long as he lives, this little boy will insult you with his happiness and freedom,' he wrote. Instantly, that short Facebook post caught fire. It was shared over two hundred thousand times and was reported on all over the world. In his beautiful and moving defiance of the terrorists who had killed his wife, Leiris became an international hero to everyone searching desperately for a way to deal with the horror of the attacks. You Will Not Have My Hate is an extraordinary and heartbreaking memoir about how Leiris, and his baby son Melvil, endured after Hélène's murder. With courage, moral acuity, and absolute emotional honesty, Leiris finds a way to answer the question, how can I go on? This is the rare and unforgettable testimony of a survivor, and a universal message of hope and resilience. Leiris is guiding star for us all in perilous times.
Azt hiszem, nincs olyan ember a világon, akit ne rázott volna meg az a rengeteg terrortámadás, ami az utóbbi időben történt. Én nem igazán követem a híreket, igyekszem elzárkózni a híradó, hírportálok és hasonlók elől, mert a legkisebb dologtól is képes vagyok pánikba esni, de az ilyen horderejű dolgok így is eljutnak hozzám. Így került a kezembe ez a könyv, ami iszonyatosan szomorú és gyönyörű volt egyben.
A könyv a párizsi terrortámadás egyik áldozatának, Héléne Leirisnek állít emléket, és a férje, Antoine gyászáról szól. Nagyon meghatott a könyv, mert abszolút bele tudtam élni magam Antoine érzéseibe, amelyeket a felesége halála után, egyedül maradva a kisfiával vetett papírra. Rettenetesen szomorú volt olvasni a sorait, ahogyan a felesége hiányával és hirtelen egyedüli szülővé válásával küzdött, és elképesztő volt a lelki erejéről olvasni, ahogyan még így is igyekezett racionálisan szemlélni a dolgokat és hogy nem hajlandó megadni azt a terroristáknak, amire vágynak, vagyis nem hajlandó gyűlölni őket. Tetszett, hogy a feleségét a Holdhoz hasonlítja, amely körül ő és Melvil, a kisfiuk keringenek, és ami nélkül nem tudja, mit kezdjenek magukkal. Szívbe markoló volt.
Kedvenc idézetek
"And suddenly, I am afraid. Afraid that I won't be able to meet people's expectations. Will I no longer have the right to lack courage? The right to feel angry. The right to be overwhelmed. The right to be tired. The right to drink too much and start smoking again. The right to see another woman, or not to see other women. The right not to love again, ever. Not to rebuild my life and not to want a new life. The right not to feel like playing, going to the park, telling a story. The right to make mistakes. The right to make bad decisions. The right to not have time. The right not to be present. The right not to be funny. The right to be cynical. The right to have bad days. The right to wake up late. The right to be late picking Melvil up from the day-care center. The right to mess up the "homemade" meals I try to make. The right not to be in a good mood. The right not to reveal everything. The right not to talk about it anymore. The right to be ordinary. The right to be afraid. The right not to know. The right not to want. The right not to be capable."
"She was summer. Warm, alive, sometimes crushed by an oppressive heat wave. Sometimes threatened by an evening storm. But a season of freedom. In summer, the nights are short. We feel like loving."
"Tomorrow, we will go to see his mother. This book is almost finished. It will not heal me. No one can be healed of death. All they can do is tame it. Death is a wild animal, sharp-fanged. I am just trying to build a cage to keep it locked in. It is there, beside me, drooling as it waits to devour me. The bars of the cage that protect me are made of paper. When I turn off the computer, the beast is released."
"I called him that night, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times. Probably while it was happening. Probably after. And when, at last, he picked up, I just wanted him to tell me that she was okay. That everything was okay. That she was with him. That maybe she was wounded, but she would survive. I wanted him to tell me that they'd been able to escape and run through the Parisian night. I imagined I could already hear the nervous laughter of two survivors. I waited for him to wake me from my nightmare."

ABN Amro makes record return to Dutch bourse
[THE HAGUE] Seven years after nationalisation, ABN Amro bounced back onto the stock market Friday with shares rising in what is seen as one of the biggest IPOs by a European lender since the financial crisis.
Top bank officials clapped and cheered at the Amsterdam stock exchange as the share price climbed steadily in early trading.
Chairman of the bank's board, Gerrit Zalm, rang the gong symbolically marking the start of trading.
"We are back, and that's great," he said, adding his bank was "solid, and offered an attractive yield." "The process has gone well," agreed Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, hailing the return to the market of the country's third largest bank.
It marks a new era for the institution after a troubled patch triggered by the 2008 crisis.
The Dutch government, which led the bailout during the tumult of the financial meltdown, is hoping to recoup some of the 22 billion euros (S$33.2 billion) spent propping up the bank.
Some two hours after opening 2.30 perc ent up at 18.18 per cent, shares consolidated early gains settling at around 18.36 euros, up some 3.44 per cent.
Initially, the price per share had been fixed at between 16 to 20 euros.
But ABN Amro said in a statement early Friday that the price had been set at 17.75 euros a share.
That will raise some 3.3 billion euros, the bank said in a joint statement with the state administrators of the offering, adding it priced ABN Amro's current value at 16.7 billion euros.
The government was monitoring carefully Friday's IPO, Mr Dijsselbloem said.
"Naturally we want to see a small upwards movement, so there is no disappointment. As you know we have another 80 per cent of the shares to sell," he added.
ABN Amro has confirmed that a further 3.0 per cent share is available and "can be exercised to cover over-allotments or short positions" if there is a high demand.
"It's a successful IPO," analyst Jos Versteeg, from the Dutch bank Theodoor Gilissen, told AFP.
"It has been properly handled. And it's a good price per share," he said, adding analysts did not see much room for big future price movement.
To avoid all the shares being snapped up by major investment funds and other institutional investors, ABN Amro held back 10 perc ent for individual buyers in the Netherlands.
Although the government has said the bailout cost it around 22 billion euros, its main audit body estimated the true price tag at about 32 billion euros, Dutch media has reported.
The Netherlands' third-largest bank behind ING and Rabobank, ABN Amro traces its roots back to the 19th century.
It was listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange before being bought in 2007 by a consortium consisting of Spanish lender Santander, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Belgian-Dutch outfit Fortis.
But the 71 billion-euro-deal, one of the largest in banking history, proved calamitous for the three buyers.
Royal Bank of Scotland is now 73 per cent owned by the British government after a £45.5 billion (S$98.3 billion) rescue in 2008.
Fortis was also dismantled during 2008 to avoid bankruptcy.
Its Dutch activities, including its share in ABN Amro, were bailed out by the Dutch government, which then merged it back into ABN Amro Bank, and it has held the reins ever since.
Today ABN Amro is largely a commercial bank focusing significantly on the highly competitive mortgage market.
Last week it trumpeted continuing good results, enjoying net profits of some 509 million euros for the third quarter, a 33 per cent year-on-year increase.
The IPO came as Europe's main stock markets rose at the start of trading Friday, with London's benchmark FTSE 100 index up 0.4 per cent to 6,355.14 points.

A one-day celebration of the intersections of LIGHT, SPACE and TECHNOLOGY
Thursday 7th February 2013.
Oslo LUX 2013 will feature a range of national and international artists, designers and architects: lighting designers, interaction designers, interactive architects, media artists, installation artists and creative technologists from around the world will be presenting the latest trends and discoveries in this rapidly developing field.
The full line-up will be announced shortly, but this year's presenters include Cinimod Studio's Dominic Harris, Evan Roth, Semiconductor, Ruairi Glynn, Squidsoup, and Cristobal Mendoza + Annica Cuppatelli.
LUX is a series of conferences and associated exhibitions that probe the boundaries of light, space and interaction. The events explore recent developments in art, design and architecture in this fascinating and evolving area.
(image: London Eye Mood Conductor, courtesy Cinimod Studios)
The first Oslo LUX took place in January 2011, and consisted of 10 speakers working with light, space and technology. About half of the speakers also presented work in an associated exhibition that took place at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. The format was then replicated in Wellington, New Zealand as WGTN LUX. Online details of the events at http://oslolux.no and http://lux.org.nz
Past events have been hugely enjoyable, informative and provocative, and so we are planning a slightly larger event this time – though still aiming to retain the intimacy of the original. Norway in February is cold but beautiful – we can promise a friendly and intimate atmosphere, and a memorable occasion.
Please subscribe here and also check out our Facebook page to get updates to the lineup of speakers and exhibited light-based artworks as more information becomes available.
A limited amount of earlybird tickets are available now at a discounted earlybird price. Note that at the last Oslo Lux tickets were sold out well in advance of the event, so book soon to avoid disappointment!

So I am tired today, but no other M.E. symptoms, I've been taking ME-Relief as normal, so why; is this normal?
There are many potential reasons, it's Tuesday and yesterday I played a fairly hard game of squash, I try and play twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, I also didn't sleep that well, was woken up and kept awake from about 04:00 Monday morning by the wind and Ruxley (black & white, pointer beagle cross) who was restless running up and down the stairs because of the wind.
After squash I emptied my car trailer of about 10 large (5 x 9ft & 4inches thick) sheets of polystyrene as I was collecting a fridge freezer and guttering that afternoon, in addition before I could empty the trailer I had to replace the battery in the ride on lawnmower, I use the mower to move the trailer round my land (seven acres) as it is muddy and I don't want to use my car and risk getting it stuck, I then had to fix the trailer, jockey wheel was loose and the lighting cable was broken.
I then drove to Whittlesey only 20 minutes away and loaded up the fridge freezer and guttering, then made tea for me, Libby and Sarah, returned home about nine that evening but didn't empty the trailer, had a drink and watched a bit of TV.
I then didn't sleep until after midnight on Monday, after playing squash my legs are often tense and I don't always find it easy to relax and get to sleep, particularly if I've subsequently had a fairly active day, a protein shake often helps with the tension in my leg muscles.
I woke up before seven but didn't rise until after eight. After breakfast I then emptied the trailer and dismantled a weight bench, I got for free off FreeCycle a few years ago and never really used it, but the metal square tubing and weights will hopefully be useful with other projects, specifically I need some weights on the front of my tractor, to keep it on the ground when lifting something heavy on the back.
So at age 53, 54 next month perhaps its not surprising I'm tired and has absolutely nothing to do with M.E.
Regardless of why I am tired today, with the help of ME-Relief and a good nights sleep, at least I know that tomorrow I will be fine again!
On this occasion M.E. appears to have nothing to do with me being tired.

Intelligent investing is really just stacking the odds in your favour. Here are five ways to do this:
1. Your margin of safety
The key to successful investing is to establish a margin of safety. The best way is to invest with a method. You might change your method according to the state of the market or prevailing investment trends but it is vital that when you make an investment you know why you are doing it.
2. Be mindful
No-one can predict the future path of the stock market but logic and past performance suggest the long-term trend is upwards. The trend, as they say, is your friend. However, be mindful that past performance is not a guarantee for future success.
3. Knowing what to buy, when to buy and when to sell
One of the hardest things in investment is knowing when to sell. It can be hard to hold on to an investment that has doubled or trebled in value and just as difficult to acknowledge a mistake and cut a loss. History shows that getting out of mistakes early and riding the winners is the way to success.
4. Challenge Mr Market
It is said you should view the market as you are a neurotic business partner. On some days your partner is on top of the world and offers you a high price to buy out your share of the business. On others, he is depressed and will take a low price for his own share. You should seek to buy in the market when it is most down and to look to offload your shares when it is most optimistic. This is difficult but essential.
5. Start straightaway
The key to investment success and the financial security is not asset allocation, share selection or the knowledge of high finance, but time. Don't let it slip away.

It's a legitimate question…do you lug your big DSLR camera around Disney World or not? Is it worth it?
I understand what's going through your mind…you want to be able to capture the perfect photos of your family while at the happiest place on earth but you don't want to be a pack mule the whole trip! …You're already bringing in so much stuff. I get it.
So here's the question; "Is it worth lugging your big camera around Disney World?"
For me (and probably for you as well) the answer is YES. …with a few exceptions.
To really capture those professional, personal, and quality images that just ooze nostalgia and emotion you really need a dslr. Now don't get me wrong, I've captured some pretty sweet images with my phone but overall the dslr will always outperform a phone camera. (so far.)
And yes, you can purchase the Memory Maker and allow the Disney photographers to capture your special moments. However…even though I do love Memory Maker they lack a personal touch and style you can only get from using your own nice camera.
My friend, Lynzi just returned from their Disney trip and after seeing my Disney pictures on Facebook said,
"I wish I would have taken my big camera on our last trip to Disneyland. I was so scared of it getting stolen. So I bought a nice point and shoot that could shoot in raw and on manual mode, but without the big sensor it just didn't produce good enough images. I really wish I had brought my big one."
Now that we know you should take your camera, let's go over the exceptions…
First of all…are you happy with your current level of expertise with your dslr? In other words, do you already know how to use your big camera to capture the kind of photos you like? I ask because if you aren't getting consistent quality photos with your dslr it's not worth lugging it around Disney World for a week. Your phone would be a better choice.
If you aren't at the level you want to be at but what to learn before you go on your trip, I would highly recommend taking this photography workshop. Even if you've tried and failed at photography before, THIS workshop will not let you down. It's been the 'aha' moment for thousands of beginning photographers.
Okay, so the other bit of information you need when deciding if it's worth bringing your big camera is to understand that there are specific moments and places that you will make good use out of it.
I want you to realize that you won't have to carry it around everywhere for the entire trip! (Find out what to DO with and how to handle your big camera while you're there, right here.)
There will be times when you will really need it to capture those iconic perfect Disney moments. And there are also times that you really have no need for it because your iPhone will capture the moment just perfectly.
So when are those times?
In my opinion, those times can all be found in one park…The Magic Kingdom.
Insiders Tip: I recommend going to the Magic Kingdom for at least 2 days of your vacation. Here's why.
I've taken my big camera to all the other parks and I'm here to tell you that the pictures you will treasure the most, are the ones you will get at the Magic Kingdom. I like the other photos, of course, but I'll be honest, I'm just as happy with my phone photos I've taken at the other parks as I am with my big camera pics.
So why haul it around when you really don't need to, right?
Here are the 9 most memorable moments in the Magic Kingdom
you will want to capture with your DSLR:
1| The Castle
I mean come on…everyone knows you need a castle shot (or 20!) of your kids, your whole family, you and your husband, etc.
For me, it was important to get a shot of my 3 kiddos in front of the castle without any other people in it. (I was asking for a miracle, I know.) But I just HAD to do it. And guess what…I did it! It worked.
My advice is to be patient. Go all the way up to the front of the castle and you just might find there really isn't that many people around. If there are, it's usually people just like you who are waiting to take a crowd-free shot.
It's customary to look around, see who is trying to get a picture, then wait patiently for them to finish. There are no actual lines per se, but people are good to recognize who's there first and who is next.
Here's my all-time favorite shot I've taken of them in front of the castle:
Photography Tip: Use a lens with a shallow depth of field (50mm f/1/8 is a great one!) to get the castle a little blurry as you focus on your subjects. It really gives it that dreamy, professional look. Need to figure out how to get a blurry background? Check this out.

Here's another one I love with Lily turning to look at the castle. (Using a lens with a shallow depth of field is so useful as it blurs out all the people in the background.)
2| The Fireworks
I'm one of those people who gets choked up every time I watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks show. The music, the words, the fireworks…it's the perfect blend of sentimentality and emotion.
Because we lived next door to Disney, I've seen the show in the park probably close to 50+ times and we could see the fireworks from our house every single night. But even seeing it that often, it still brought out emotion in me every single time.
I wanted to capture fireworks, of course, but it was more important to me to capture the emotion from my family as they WATCHED the fireworks.
Insiders Tip: Be ready with your camera for the last grand finale' and final seconds of the show… It's a doozy and always leaves the crowd speechless.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Are you ready? I'm going to tell you where our family's favorite spot to view the fireworks is. (I guess we're super good friends now.) It's such a great spot because you are situated right in the MIDDLE of all the action.
If you didn't already know, the fireworks are lit off in two locations. One, directly behind and to the sides of the castle. And two, about 2 miles back behind the park in the back lot of Disney Property.
When viewing the fireworks show from the front of the castle it just looks like everything is being lit off in the same place. Which is cool. It's definitely a good spot to view them.
However, it can be terribly crowded. …as in elbow to elbow crowded. So we found our spot behind the castle in between the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Enchanted Tales with Bell.
It's FAR less crowded. In fact, there is usually only a handful of people back there. And you literally feel like you're surrounded by fireworks!
And the cool thing is, you still get to see Fireworks being lit behind a castle…only the castle is The Beasts' Castle from Beauty and the Beast!
Photography Tip: Before the fireworks begin, get your camera settings locked in by taking several test shots. My go-to fireworks setting when I'm using my 30mm lens is ISO 100, f/1.6, 1/30th of a sec. Remember you are using a very slow shutter speed AND hand holding your camera so you will need to hold very steady.
3| Special Activities
If your kids plan on doing any of the extra activities like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, The Pirates League, or their first haircut at the Barbershop on Main Street…you will want your big camera with you.
This is a fun experience that can be captured to its fullest with your nice camera so be sure to capture all the special little details…from your child's expression to the interaction with the cast members.
Photography Tip: Because these experiences are inside, I recommend using a lens that will allow you to have a wide open aperture to allow more light. One of my favorite low-light photography lenses is the 50mm f.1.8 lens. Amazing price and performs so well.
4| Fun Little Hidden Places
I'm ready to share another secret… (because we're besties now, remember?)
There is a special little gem of a place, tucked away in Story Book Circus that I I randomly came across one day. It's an open circus tent right next to where the character meet and greet building is.
Here's the cool thing…under the tent they have tons of adorable chairs, props, etc. just sitting there!
No one was there. Not even a cast member. It was like our own little photo shoot just for us. Lily and I took advantage of it and played around and I took pictures as she did. I was so glad I had my DSLR with me.
I've always loved how the pictures turned out…
Photography Tip: To get those fun, natural shots it's important to let our kids be kids! I know how tempting it is to start trying to orchestrate the whole photo shoot but when you can dial it back a bit and let go, you will be pleasantly surprised at your results.
In this shoot with Lily, I gave her some queues like, "Go sit in your favorite chair." And then once she was in it I just let her enjoy herself while asking her to "look this way" every so often. Need some help with subject interaction? This awesome course dives deep into how to get those natural and effortless interactions with your subjects.
5| Fun Iconic Photo Ops Around the Park
Because it's the Magic Kingdom, there are so many fun photo ops all throughout the park. Just like when I stumbled onto that fun tent with cool chairs, I'm so glad I had my big camera for these other opportunities:
Playing at the Dumbo Splash Pad
On the Carousel
The Teacups
6| Disney After Dark
I absolutely love seeing the parks when there are hardly any people in them! I'm not quite sure why, but it's just fun. One of the ways you can do that is to stay in the park after it closes.
Just to ease your mind, I'm not breaking any rules here! (And neither will you!) All of the parks stay open for about an hour later than the posted closing time. All of the attractions close, however, the gift shops remain open and they allow you to meander through as everyone else usually hurries out.
For me, this is the perfect opportunity to take pictures of the Magic Kingdom without the crowds!
Insiders Tip: In the Magic Kingdom, they have what's called, "The Kiss Goodnight". This adorable and nostalgic little castle show takes place after the park closes and is such an incredible end to your day. It's also super fun to see the park when it's practically empty!
Photography Tip: Just like with fireworks, to get those awesome night time shots, I hand hold my camera (meaning I never use a tripod) and use a lens that will allow me to open it wide up. In all of these nighttime shots, I'm using my 30mm lens with an aperture of f/1.6. My shutter speed is very slow (1/40th of a sec.) so I am very careful to hold the camera as steady as possible.
Bonus Magical Memory Moments!
I stand by my decision to only lug your big camera around to the Magic Kingdom. However, I also suggest another place to use your big camera…your Disney Resort.
If you are staying on Disney property use your DSLR to capture all the fun memories and details at your resort. Better yet, plan a fun little photo shoot for your family at your resort… or any of the resorts!
Insider's Tip: You are totally allowed to visit any and all of the Disney Resorts. You don't have to be staying there to go in and check them out and look around. While we lived there that was one of our favorite things to do, besides going to the parks…explore all the Disney Resorts. We were able to get some fun pictures.
It's been said you only regret the photos that you don't take.
That's exactly how I feel about all of our photo memories now that we've moved away. I adore all the photos I was able to capture while we lived near Disney World. Now I just wish I snapped even more!
P.S. Now read about what to DO with your DSLR camera at Disney.

Construct Your Own Covered Bridge With Columbia-Mountour Visitors Bureau's Latest Puzzle
Nov 23, 2014 09:30AM
● By Erica Shames
The Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau is excited to announce the arrival of its fourth 500-piece Covered Bridge puzzle depicting a winter scene of the East and West Paden (Twin) Bridges. The Visitors Bureau is currently selling the puzzles for $12, tax included. A $2 donation from every puzzle sold will be made by the Bureau to the Columbia County Covered Bridge Association. Puzzles may be purchased at either Visitors Bureau Welcome Center (Columbia County: 121 Papermill Road, Bloomsburg; Montour County: 316 Mill Street, Danville). The Visitors Bureau will also have puzzles for sale at its booth at the Bloomsburg Fair located in the State & County Building, as well as the Covered Bridge and Arts Festival from October 2-5 inside Pavilion H at Knoebel's Amusement Resort. Limited quantities of 250 puzzles are available on a first come, first serve basis.
Covered Bridge Association President, Chris Young recommends "slowing down with a good cup of coffee on a cold winter day and putting together your Twin Bridges puzzle. As you reminisce about time gone by, know that the $2 you donated will ensure these bridges are here for future generations to enjoy." This puzzle is the fourth in the series produced by the Visitors Bureau. The first puzzle was a fall scene of the Twin Covered Bridges, the second of the Lawrence L. Knoebel Covered Bridge, and the third of the Keefer Mill Covered Bridge. The Visitors Bureau is running a special sale while supplies last, buy one of The Twin Covered Bridges puzzle and save $4 on the Keefer Mills Bridge puzzle. All three puzzles are on display at the Danville Welcome Center. The CMVB's puzzles have become a collector's item and make great Christmas gifts.
East and West Paden (The Twin Bridges) are located in Fishing Creek Township, Columbia County. The bridges can be found spanning Huntington Creek just east of Route 487 and east of Forks, off 1020. The Twin Bridges were constructed in 1884 by W.C. Pennington for $720. They were named after John Paden who operated a nearby sawmill. Twin Bridges County Park was created in 1963 when the new road (1020) bypassed the structures. The puzzle photo was taken by Linda Sones, the Visitors Bureau's Member Liaison.
The Columbia County Covered Bridge Association restores, preserves and advocates for the covered bridges of Columbia County for historical and recreational purposes. Their purpose is simple: recognize the historic importance of the covered bridges as a public treasure to be available to and enjoyed by the public, and the important part they play in tourism. This non-profit association protects all of our covered bridges not only for today, but also for future generations. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Association, either in time, materials or a monetary gift, may contact the Association President, Chris Young at 570-458-4290.
For more information about the Columbia-Montour Visitors Bureau, and all the things to see and do in the area, please visit www.iTourColumbiaMontour.com or like them on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/iTourCM.

2019 annual fistula camp
Vesicovaginal fistula, or VVF, is an abnormal fistulous tract extending between the bladder (vesica) and the vagina that allows the continuous involuntary discharge of urine into the vaginal vault.
over 40 women from different parts of the country have benefited from the hospital's annual Vesicovaginal fistula camp.
the camp is organised by a team from switzerland headed by Dr Verena in partnership with Bwindi Community Hospital to help women with challenges in passing out urine and waste as a result of child birth.

Despite accounting for a fifth of attacks on applications, awareness of remote and local file inclusion is worryingly low.
According to Imperva, local file inclusion (LFI) and remote file inclusion (RFI) attacks accounted for 21 per cent of all application attacks between June and November 2011 on 40 applications. The process allows an attacker to execute malicious code on a server to steal data.
Talking to SC Magazine, Imperva senior security strategist Noa Bar-Yosef said that with an RFI attack, the attacker uploads the malware to the server so it is an underlying application security threat, and this is prevalent as one of the top four techniques.
"This targets PHP applications which affect 77 per cent of websites, so the potential is massive. The TimThumb vulnerability was an RFI attack, and so was the attack on the military dating site. This shows that file inclusion attacks are one of the top techniques we have seen," she said.
She also said that RFI attacks are automated, with attackers using botnets to exploit vulnerabilities.
"SQL injection is the number-one way to attack applications to remove data, but we are seeing better techniques. An RFI attack can cause a crash, extract data and allow an attacker to take over a server. We saw an increase in the second half of 2011, and what is concerning is that this does not show up in the OWASP top ten attacks," Bar-Yosef said.
An LFI attack is conducted when a file is added locally by tricking the server into uploading a file, so rather than fetching the file, it is on there already (as opposed to an RFI, where you go to a remote server).
A simple method of infection is via a jpeg file that can have .TXT code and can infect an RFI vulnerability.
Asked how this can be blocked or avoided, Bar-Yosef cited the main areas of application security: to search for conversations on your security online; blacklist IP addresses you know to be bad; install a web application firewall; consider a vulnerability assessment tool where the data will feed into the firewall; and look to stop automated attacks.
She said: "Also fix your code as, ultimately, to be secure you have to be secure yourself."
Tal Be'ery, Imperva's senior web researcher, said: "LFI and RFI are popular attack vectors for hackers because they are less known and extremely powerful when successful. We observed that hacktivists and for-profit hackers utilised these techniques extensively in 2011, and we believe it is time for the security community to devote more attention to the issue."

Release Date: Sep 1, 2017
Record label: Virgin EMI
Genre(s): Pop/Rock
Jake Bugg's last album, On My One (2016),was an ill-advised bid to engage with a new crowd. The Nottingham singer's fourth set, recorded in Nashville, abandons the rapping and Kasabian-friendly rock in favour of dusty country-folk. Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys contributes to three tracks and Miley Cyrus's sister Noah duets on Waiting, but Bugg is most convincing when his guests take a back seat.
When he first made waves half a decade ago at 18, there was an air of novelty surrounding Jake Bugg, whose voice was stylishly worn-in without sounding as if he was a long-time chainsmoker. Bugg eventually broadened out his bluesy sound, even dabbling in Madchester-esque beats and poorly judged rap on his last album, On My One, backpedalling on comments he'd made rubbishing pop and hip-hop. Deviating from the formula didn't do him any favours, however, and his third record was his lowest charting to date.
Ever since Jake Bugg cast aside his co-writers and asserted full control over his music, he's struggled to find much to say with it. His 2012 debut might have had an assist from the bloke who wrote Snow Patrol's 'Run', but its tales of council-estate drudgery and the longing to escape it felt real; fast-forward to last year's 'On My One', however, and Bugg was grumbling about life on the road, the girls he left behind and making baffling excursions into hip-hop. At this stage in his career, having fulfilled every adolescent rock-star fantasy a po' boy from Nottingham could harbour, 'write what you know' may not be the soundest songwriterly advice..
he credits for Jake Bugg's fourth album Hearts That Strain talk a very good game. Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, with a large serving of Grammy-winning producers and backing musicians who worked with the likes of Elvis and Aretha Franklin, there's a lot of expectation on this record, especially in terms of Bugg's slowly declining record sales. However, the overriding impression of Hearts That Strain is very underwhelming. From a hope that Bugg might shake off the stereotypical Radio 2 artist niche he has come to settle in, it's very quickly apparent that this is not to be.

The simulation of beam propagation is used to examine the uncertainty inherent to the process of optical power measurement with a practical heterodyne receiver because of the presence of refractive turbulence. Phase-compensated heterodyne receivers offer the potential for overcoming the limitations imposed by the atmosphere by the partial correction of turbulence-induced wave-front phase aberrations. However, wave-front amplitude fluctuations can limit the compensation process and diminish the achievable heterodyne performance.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic schedule, when it is trusted the main disclosure of the Quran to the prophet Muhammad occurred.
To recognize this occasion, Muslims over the world watch a month of fasting amid sunlight hours.
Muslims must go without sustenance, drink, smoking and sex each day, and are just permitted to eat amid an early-morning dinner, suhur, and an evening supper, iftar.
Fasting amid Ramadan is the fourth of the five mainstays of Islam, the most essential of Muslim practices.
While fasting, Muslims additionally invest the energy concentrating their brains and exercises on petition and profound reflection, including more noteworthy investigation of the Quran.
In light of galactic diagrams, Ramadan could begin on Wednesday 16 May this year.
It will proceed for 30 days until Thursday 14 June.
This implies the main day of the following month, Shawwal, is relied upon to start on Friday 15 June.
The primary day of Shawwal likewise denotes the date of Eid al-Fitr, the celebration praising breaking the quick.
For what reason do the dates shift?
While the Gregorian logbook to a great extent utilized as a part of the western world depends on the sun, the Islamic timetable depends on the cycle of the moon.
Since the two logbooks don't adjust precisely, the Islamic dates move back by 11 days every year.
The Islamic schedule depends on the cycle of the moon
Ramadan was especially extreme in 2016 in light of the fact that it was in the period paving the way to - and including - the longest day of the year.
Since the quick happens from at a young hour toward the beginning of the day (two or three hours previously dawn) to nightfall, it has implied long stretches of around 19 hours without sustenance and drink.
In 2018 it wo exclude the longest day, yet it will even now cover a testing time of expanded sunlight hours.
As the Islamic dates move back through the Western timetable, Ramadan is set to start in April by 2020, in March by 2023 and in February by 2026.
That implies the every day hours of fasting will get shorter - offering some solace to the individuals who battle to abandon nourishment and drink for such long stretches.

We offer a modular training programme which introduces two break through developments in the field of personal development. The first one is a compelling new process for personal inner emotional clearing. The second one is an innovative model and tool for coaches, facilitators and helping professionals working with groups or one on one.
The quality of our living
There is nothing permanent except change.
The world is wobbly. The ice caps are melting, the seas are rising. There's a plastic island three times bigger than France in the Pacific. Political and ideological differences cause tension at home and across the world. Data breaches from major technology companies create worry. Terrorism. Refugees. Ineffective and corrupt governments. Extreme weather events. Water crises. Food crises. Economic downturns and contractions. Nothing is certain other than the levels of stress and anxiety are rising at a disturbing rate.
Pressure to perform in the workplace, at home, in the classroom; on the sports field. The need to relate well to co-workers, friends, family and loved ones result in levels of anxiety and stress that impact the quality of our living.
With all the thinking applied to the problems of the world, they should be solved. But they're still there. In order to tackle and transcend the problems of the world, we need to think less and feel more.
With all the thinking applied to the problems of the world, they should be solved. But they're still there. In order to tackle and transcend the problems of the world, we need to think less and feel more.
Making the world a better place
"When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves."
—Jack Kornfield
Not to feel more anxiety, more stress, more unhappiness. Not to find another way to numb or hide from the feelings. Instead, to feel connected by learning to turn down the volume and regulate difficult emotions. By being able to regulate our emotions and embrace our feelings we ultimately feel better and become fuller, more whole, human beings. As a result, we engage and connect more meaningfully with other human beings, our community, society, nature and the environment. And the world becomes a better place
Traditional interventions tend to focus on thinking and understanding emotions as a way to mitigate their effect. At 5th Place we've created a model, process and tool of how we structure, store, represent and regulate our inner feeling states. This tool and process is called Shape of Emotion. It is content-free, gentle, safe, easy to learn and use and quickly clears the effects of difficult emotions allowing for a return to a centred, resourceful state.
Dealing with stress and anxiety
"You cannot control the results, only your actions."
—Allan Lokos
Central to Shape of Emotion's application is to deal with the stress and anxiety that pervades our society. Around 20% of all South Africans will experience a depressive disorder at least once during their lifetime. Workplace stress, burnout and ill health costs the country around R40 billion annually. Shape of Emotion used strategically can make a sustainable difference
With Shape of Emotion, the volume of any difficult feeling (sadness, anxiety, etc) can be turned down, released and let go. It can also be used to amplify and turn up the volume on any positive feeling (joy, excitement and happiness). Shape of Emotion is used by people of all ages, gender and race. It can be used on its own, as a primary intervention or included as a complementary tool with other modalities and approaches.
It's always about you
Everything starts with you. If you do not attend to yourself first, you cannot attend to anyone else with the integrity, mindfulness and compassion that working with others calls for.
The learning journey starts with an inner, personal one on the Level 1 — Shape of Emotion Foundation course. Understanding what emotions and feelings are and the importance of self-work. Why dealing with your own difficult emotions and seeing them as gifts and opportunities is an imperative if any change is to be embarked on. Learning the process and then practicing it on yourself. This is the first step in the work.
Once you are proficient with Shape of Emotion for yourself on both difficult and positive feelings, you can continue to the next level to complete either one or both of the Level 2 courses on offer.
Level 2 — Apprentice explores using the tool in a group setting. Anyone who does group work, group coaching or counselling, including teachers who want to use it with their classes will find the Shape of Emotion group work a useful resource. The content-free nature of the process makes it particularly appropriate.
Level 2 - Artisan teaches how to incorporate Shape of Emotion as a tool or use it as a complete model in a one on one session. Many of our unresourceful behaviours and most of our repetitive triggers or hooks originate from our childhood. Clearing these past patterns is a specific focus of this level.
A key element of all the training is personal practice and practicum work. This is done after each course. Practicing the skill and reflecting on it as part of the learning process is required. We are aware that not everyone finds writing easy, so we accept a variety of options to consider: journaling, drawing, painting or other visual interpretation of reflections, even audio recording of thoughts.
Who will benefit from attending these workshops?
- Coaches, counsellors, therapists, caregivers, teachers, parents

Punchestown betting tips: Active Force, Buildmeupbuttercup and Gun Digger have Sunday shouts
Punchestown betting tips for January 13 on Horsebetting.com have Active Force down as the NAP of this seven-race card in Ireland in the 2m maiden hurdle. Buildmeupbuttercup, meanwhile, gets weight all-round, so she is the next best bet in the 2m Grade 2 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle. Gun Digger is a solid each-way bet for the Grade 3 novice chase over 2m 4f. For more on these horses, read our detailed Punchestown betting tips for January 13 below.
Smart bumper performer Active Force appeals on hurdles bow
Active Force switches to hurdles after putting in a string of fine efforts in bumpers, so looks the one to be on in the 2m maiden at Punchestown on Sunday (15:20). The Gigginstown House Stud owed gelding is trained by Noel Meade and also previously won an Irish point, keeping on best from the last to score by six lengths.
The son of Oscar will want further in time, but has run into some very useful sorts in bumpers progressing in four starts in that sphere. After finishing a close-up 3 1/2 lengths fourth to Alighted at Leopardstown last Christmas, Active Force chased home Willie Mullins mare Sancta Simona, who was subsequently bought by leading Irish owner JP McManus.
Bumper form strong
Although beaten 11 lengths, he pulled a further 17 lengths clear of the third horse home and the remainder in-behind were also well strung on. Active Force was also far from disgraced when a 12-length third after a break to Battleoverdoyen, who has since landed both his hurdles starts including the Grade 1 Lawlor's of Naas Novice Hurdle.
Such form commands Active Force respect in relation to this maiden, and his solid bumper career culminated in a deserved victory last time out where he made all at a steady pace over 2m 2f at Limerick. Connections quickly turn him out over hurdles on the back of that and he may take some stopping if allowed to dictate proceedings on the front end.
Everything looks in place for a big run, so – provided he copes with the large field – Active Force can take this en route to potentially bigger and better things. He thus rates the NAP of our Punchestown betting tips for January 13.

Buildmeupbuttercup the Moscow Flyer fancy
The feature race is the 2m Grade 2 Moscow Flyer Novice Hurdle (14:50), and Buildmeupbuttercup can capitalise on a handy sex allowance to give trainer Willie Mullins a sixth winner of this in the last seven seasons. This five-year-old daughter of Sixties Icon won a couple of bumpers when in the care of Mick Channon, and was then far from disgraced in the Grade 2 mares National Hunt Flat Race at Aintree last spring.
Although three subsequent runs on the level were fruitless, Buildmeupbuttercup was then sent to County Carlow handler Mullins and won on debut for him at Navan. That 2m maiden hurdle had 29 runners, but she led going best after two out and was driven clear on the run-in to score by half-a-length.
This demands more, but the same can be said for all of the six runners. The trip looks a little sharp for Swordsman, while fellow Gigginstown runners Jan Maat and Felix Desjy have questions to answer. Mullins' other mount Harrie is preferred by Ruby Walsh, but he's always been campaigned over further on bottomless ground.
As Buildmeupbuttercup is relatively unexposed compared to Jetez, who has had 10 hurdles starts to her one, she appeals as the type that acts on the forecast good going. We therefore put her up as the next best wager among our Punchestown betting tips for January 13.
Gun Digger a solid each-way bet
A Grade 3 novice chase over 2m 4f is the other top class event on the card (13:15), and Gun Digger looks a solid each-way bet in a competitive renewal. Although the Gordon Elliott trained seven-year-old is somewhat flattered by his margin of victory last time out due to fallers at the last, his jumping passed muster and he has a progressive profile over fences.
After finishing a three-length third to Dr Mikey on his chase bow at Gowran Park, he now meets the runner-up A Plus Tard on 2lb better terms. That gives Gun Digger every chance of running Henry De Bromhead's mare even closer in this. Both horses come here off the back of victories, yet there is a relatively large difference in price.
Gun Digger went on to chase home Chris's Dream at Navan, and then profited from Bacardys and another rival coming to grief at the final fence in a 2m 5f beginners event at Leopardstown's Christmas Festival. He could only capitalise on the situation, however, and deserves credit for improving with each outing.
There are a few with plenty of prove in this race too; stablemates Blow By Blow and Ben Dundee among them. Gun Digger is Jack Kennedy's chosen mount in this and, with the jockey on a 25 per cent strike rate in the last fortnight at the time of writing, he is thus an obvious each-way selection for these Punchestown betting tips for January 13.

I'll Do Your Meme… This Time
Now that I've been tagged by three separate people I'll give in and do the meme.
First one is:
"Here are the rules: reach for the nearest book and write the 5th sentence, plus the next two to five, on page 56." (I already did this on Facebook though).
"Whoever thought you'd read: "No famine in Ethiopia"? Now the bad news. That doesn't mean they're not starving. Hardly anyones got the cash for a mouldy banana." That's from 'AA Gill is away' by AA Gill.
Now I'm meant to do seven facts about myself. Which is difficult, because I don't like talking about myself.
1) In 12th grade, I was able to recite almost every line of dialogue from 'The Matrix' by heart. I lost track of how many times I've seen it years ago.
2) I have at least fifty t-shirts. (Just counted forty just on my shelf.)
3) One of the most impressive things a Rebbe ever said to me was this time in 9th grade when I spent recess explaining the plot of a certain video game and book series to a friend who was getting into it. I spent twenty minutes going through all these intricate plot and character details. When I finished I turned around and saw that the Rebbe had been listening to me the whole time. He said "so how come you can remember all that, but you have trouble with a daf gemora?"
4) Only about half the blog posts I think of ever get written, due to a combination of time, laziness, content concerns, and the fact that I have my best ideas on Friday night, which are usually lost to the ether by havdalah.
5) Cats love me.
6) My favorite childhood move was Aladdin.
7) I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you want to do it, tell 'em I sent you.
4 Responses to "I'll Do Your Meme… This Time"
Better than mine.
Cool that you got tripple tagged, glad you did it!
2- wow, that's a lot of t-shirts! I have like about 20, that I wear as PJ's
3- that is impressive, that goes along with my theory that really everyone is smart and everyone has brains, it's just that people channel it in different ways. Even the blonds have brains, they just use it for hair products and fashion like Legally Blond.
4- that makes sense. Friday night and Shabbos is when I think about stuff the most too, it's because there's no distractions.
7- I hope that's a video game?
4- Exactly like me. I have a bunch of half written posts. It's terribly annoying! And I also think of the best topics friday night!!
number 7 works for me… i hope you didnt copyright it.
enjoying your blog.

WYPR re-examines one of Chow's legacies – huge water tanks in city parks
Baltimore Brew's Mark Reutter discusses with Tom Pelton our coverage of DPW's disruption of two famous parks
Above: Mark Reutter has covered in depth the tank burial projects at Druid Hill Park (shown here) and Hanlon Park. (Tom Pelton)
Hanlon Park scoured by bulldozers as nearly 200 trees are ripped out. Druid Lake partially drained and temporarily dammed. Heavy equipment rumbling through two historic parks, all for the same end:
The burial of four massive underground water tanks.
Today WYPR 88.1FM took a look at one of the most controversial projects undertaken by Public Works Director Rudy Chow, who was pushed out of his position last week and will retire next February.
"This was [once] the most wooded area of the Ashburton Northwest Baltimore community," said The Brew's Mark Reutter, speaking with WYPR's Tom Pelton, as construction crews worked away behind them.
Holes the size of city blocks are now being excavated for tanks at Druid Hill Park and Hanlon Park to replace open drinking-water reservoirs and comply with EPA regulations.
But building the underground tanks weren't the only solution available to protect drinking water reservoirs from possible contamination by bird waste or other sources.
Relying on Reutter's extensive reporting, Pelton notes that the tanks are almost $200 million more expensive than another treatment process.
Both EPA and the Maryland Department of the Environment gave Baltimore permission in 2009 to use the cheaper and less disruptive ultraviolet (UV) disinfection alternative.
• The Druid Lake construction mess: It didn't have to be this way
• Ashburton residents revolt over tree clearing for water tank project
• DPW creates $100,000 position for outspoken critic
But after taking over as chief of the water bureau in 2010, Chow scrapped the approved plan and instead ordered the instillation of water tanks, Reutter explains.
Listen to the piece to hear how a DPW spokesman makes the case for the project ("These tanks will be the ultimate solution"), while a resident comes to a different conclusion ("No, it wasn't necessary"):
Baltimore paid almost $200 million too much for massive drinking water project (Tom Pelton, The Environment in Focus, aired 10/23/19)

-By SANJAY JHA
You have to just look a few centimeters above your regular vision when driving down , and you will see a galaxy of smart-suited oddballs interspersed with a few women in Prada-like executive dressing standing in a well choreographed semi-circle , looking down at you with the cocky condescension of experts who think they can predict the future. The big billboards have all been monopolized by urban corporate types distinctly uncomfortable in their studio attire. This is not a sophisticated soap opera in English, this is the promotional spree of our annual commercial circus; the budget.
The annual budget has become a profitable " event management concept" especially for business channels and pink dailies. Sure, a budget day is somewhat special, but the frenzy that is created is not in sync with the urgency of the issues at hand. A government essentially lays down it's long-term plans, and the budget is just an annual operating plan to review the financial implications of the capital and revenue earnings and expenses, and the surplus/deficit that it is likely to accrue. What is the big deal about it?
In the olden days with oppressive government and bureaucratic control, every step of liberalization or concession was indeed a headline item. But over the last 10 years, things have changed quite dramatically. Taxation, which draws maximum attention, has indeed already become indexed to international levels on both personal and corporate sides, besides the introduction of VAT. Of course, there is always need for simplification of norms, less paper-work, greater transparency , and additional reforms. Everyone is keen to see greater investment in education, health and infrastructure, besides rural development and employment schemes. But I wonder what earth-shaking denouement and revelation can we really expect from Pranab Babu tomorrow?
I was at a small corporate function a few days back, and in the absence of anything else to talk about, everyone had the same patented query; So what do you expect the budget to be like? The unanimous expectation was—-populist. In the business world of Armani suits, a pro-poor and aam aadmi budget is secretly sniggered at ; they make it appear as if it has come at the cost of their BSE stock price and net worth. But in the TV studios, they will all sound as if they have emerged as disciplined students of a no-nonsense headmaster , speaking the same lingo. It usually sounds like this " the budget addresses the long-term needs of the economy and the weaker sections of society , but they could have done more with reforms, particularly in infrastructure. The fiscal deficit, of course, continues to be a worry".
I don't exactly know what Pranab Babu has in mind, but I have a sneaking suspicion that one can anticipate , however, what the reactions to his budget will be.
