This year we have places available in our Reception class as well as a small number of places in some other year groups.
If you are interested in applying for a place please contact Mrs Bridewell in the School Office who would be happy to arrange a meeting with the Associate Headteacher together with a visit of the school.
Applications For Reception
Applications for entry to our Reception class for September 2018 opened on 1st September, 2017.
The school's Published Admission Number (PAN) for September 2018 will be 12.
By law a child does not have to start school until the term following their fifth birthday. However, most children start school in the September following their fourth birthday.
If your child was born between 1st September 2013 and 31st August 2014 they are due to start school in September 2018 and you will need to apply for a school place by noon on 15th January 2018. All children will be offered a full time place but, if you would prefer your child to attend part-time or to delay entry until later on in the academic year please contact the school directly to arrange this. All admissions are administered by the Local Authority.
You can apply by completing an application online or by completing a paper application form which is available from the school office.
On 18th April 2018 letters will be despatched to all parents who submitted a paper application form by the January deadline, offering a place at one school. If you have been refused a place at your preferred school you can appeal. Appeals will be heard late June/early July. If you applied online you will be able to log back onto the online system on national offer day to view the outcome of your application. You will require your username and password which was created at the time of the application. You will also receive confirmation of the offer by letter. 3rd May is the deadline for parents to accept the place they have been offered. If you do not respond by this date, Wiltshire Council will assume that you do not want the place and it will be offered to another applicant. 20th May - any spare places which have become available after 18th April will be offered.
Applications received after the January deadline will be considered after the first round and this means that the outcome of your application will not be determined until late June 2018 at the earliest.
Applications for all other year groups
If you wish to apply for a place in any year group other than Reception please contact the School Office initially to see if any places are available. If they are, we would be pleased to arrange a visit and you will then need to complete a separate admission application form through the Local Authority. There is no deadline for these applications. They are processed throughout the year by the Local Authority in the order in which they are received.

HONG KONG As the global market for initial public offerings withered last year amid political turmoil on both sides of the Atlantic, Asia fared relatively well thanks to a flood of new share listings from mainland China.
Total funds raised from first-time share sales declined 30.2% worldwide on the year to a four-year low of $135.62 billion in 2016, compared with a fall in Asia of 7.9% to $71.23 billion during the same period, data from Dealogic shows. While the number of deals slipped 12.3% on the year to 1,143 globally, the number of transactions rose 4.3% on the year in Asia to 703.
Buoying the Asian market was a flurry of listings in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, which together accounted for 63.7% of the funds raised in the region. State-owned Postal Savings Bank of China's $7.4 billion debut -- the world's biggest since Alibaba Group Holding's $25 billion flotation in New York in 2014 -- topped the global IPO table. Six of the largest 15 offerings were for Chinese concerns, including New York-listed ZTO Express, a Shanghai-based delivery company that works with big e-commerce players, such as Alibaba and JD.com.
Elsewhere in the region, Tokyo performed best despite having its worst year since 2013, raising a total of $9.6 billion, down 34% from the previous year. It hosted two of the largest 15 deals globally: the $4 billion sale of previously state-backed railway operator JR Kyushu and a $1.3 billion share issue by mobile messenger app developer LINE, which was also listed in New York. Both were priced at the top end of their marketed prices and saw first-day pops of 15% and 32%, respectively.
The IPO markets in most emerging economies were muted, except for India, which raked in $3.9 billion in 2016 against the backdrop of swifter regulatory approvals and strong foreign capital inflows. India's IPO market jumped 88.7% from the previous year in value terms.
The Philippines rebounded from the doldrums of the preceding two years. But even its biggest deal for 2016 and the third largest on record -- the $533 million flotation by the Philippine unit of Mexico's cement maker Cemex on June 30 -- saw its fundraising target slashed by more than a third in the aftermath of Britain's Brexit vote.
South Korea's performance was bolstered by Samsung BioLogics's $1.97 billion IPO in late October, as its affiliates struggled with product recalls and strikes.
In line with sluggish IPO markets elsewhere, Hong Kong, although it was the world's largest IPO market for the second year in a row, turned in its weakest performance in three years, raising 190.2 billion Hong Kong dollars ($24.5 billion) on the main board, down 26.6% on the year, according to accounting consultancy PwC.
The results would have been much more dismal had it not been for several huge trades by state-owned mainland financial services companies, frequently with the help of state-backed cornerstone investors. These investors generally agreed to a six-month lockup for sizable chunks of nominally public offerings. About 53% of the proceeds from Hong Kong's IPOs in 2016 were from such investors, up from 18% a decade ago, data from Dealogic shows.
State-owned China Life Insurance, for instance, helped China Resources Pharmaceutical Group, Cofco Meat Holdings and China Merchants Securities go public in Hong Kong this year. China Development Bank's leasing arm sold 79% of its $799 million share offering to six cornerstone investors. They were all priced at the low end of their indicative ranges, with share values rising little, if not slumping, on the first trading day.
"Having a huge percentage of an IPO transaction in cornerstone investments potentially distorts price discovery," Sally Wong, CEO of the Hong Kong Investment Funds Association, told the Nikkei Asian Review. Wong said the lockup also "created an overhang on the new listing," posing liquidity and turnover risks.
Other factors that threaten Hong Kong's IPO crown include liquidity flowing to the U.S. as interest rates rise, and lofty valuations offered by China's A-share market. Mainland city commercial banks, which have traditionally preferred to list in Hong Kong, are increasingly turning to the domestic market to shore up their books as their bad loans mount. The strategy was partly endorsed by Chinese regulators, who are keen to bolster an economy growing at its slowest pace in 25 years.
Many observers are placing their hopes on fintech unicorns such as Alipay operator Ant Financial and Ping An Insurance's online wealth management platform Lufax to list in Hong Kong. But the underdeveloped tech investment culture in Hong Kong might push these deals to New York, which offers dual-class share structures, that entrepreneurs like.
According to estimates by Renaissance Capital, New York is poised for an IPO boom of $30 billion to $50 billion in 2017. New York has reportedly gained the favor of China's third-biggest search engine, Sogou, Beijing-based microlender Qudian and China's first online-only nonlife insurer, Zhongan, for listings this year. Industrial analysts say the New York market bears watching.

This is it. It's all over. I'm officially a graduate. I'm no longer a student, I'm in the 'real world'. And I'm so excited.
Graduation day was amazing. Driving from London to Leicester at 10 am and getting to Leicester for 12. Then, I went to Queen's Hall to pick up my cap and gown and get my professional pictures taken. Then it was off to print off the tickets, sneak into the law marquee and get some free food and drinks and take what felt like two million pictures. Being there with my mum, dad, 2 aunties, uncle and my younger brother was amazing. I felt so proud of all that I'd achieved.
And then there was the ceremony, which lasted 2 hours. Hearing two alumni speeches and seeing them get their honouree degrees showed me how much can be achieved after I leave uni. It made me even more excited about the start of this new chapter in my life. Finishing university is not the end, just the beginning. And I can't wait to start my job in October and enjoy everything life has to throw at me. I still can't believe that I've graduated, that I'm no longer a student. I'm in the 'real world' now!!!

How do I tell a retailer or distributor where to order my books?
I've looked at the information provided in IngramSpark, and one thing that I've not found an adequate answer for which I find limiting is the ability to tell a shop or distributor "Here is where to go to order my books if you're interested in stocking them."
In a way it would be good to have a dedicated page to give to such shops that directs them to internal ordering page if they either got an account or prompts them to set up an account if they don't. For example, my imprint is 'Emerentsia Publications' so a page such as this would be as follows (basing this on the IngramSpark webpage):
www [dot] ingramspark [dot] com/ordering/emerentsia_publications
(I posted it purposely not as a web link so not to confuse people into thinking it's a real link, and this is just a suggestion.)
The idea here is that there's a dedicated section for this function. For example, this part of the website has /community/ as a dedicated section, so /ordering/ would act in a similar way.
It would use the primary imprint used in the account for this page (I would guess that additional imprints would require a request to be submitted).
The general idea is that I can reach out to shops with information about being an author and my imprint, and instead of having to go into a lengthy description of "this is how to order books" I just include the "ordering link" that then acts as a point of contact to get the shop, wholesaler, or distributor to make contact with Ingram to order my books. The benefit would come when a shop, wholesaler or distributor does not do business yet with Ingram, and this establishes a new client for Ingram in the process.
I know I could have emailed this idea to Ingram, but I only recently got this idea myself when I got asked by someone who refers to themselves as an "independent book shop" the question "How do I go about ordering your books from Ingram?" I didn't know what answer to give, so I started thinking about how I would want to tell them to order, thus this idea popped in my head.
It was just a day later when I got my invitation to participate in this community, so I decided to post the idea here as a point of discussion to see what other authors and/or publishers think of it.
Personally the provision of a link such as this would act in a very similar way as the 'Author Page' on Amazon does. In a way it should be feasible to construct something as a 'Publisher Page' to provide details of the Publisher, the books they've produced (as a list with a clickable link to a page that gives cover images, the blurb, list price, and the suggested ordering link above with one small addition which would be the SKU for the book in question). The Publisher Page would list the global ordering link btw. The Publisher Page could be shown as:
www [dot] ingramspark [dot] com/publisher/emerentsia_publications
Either of the suggestions is something I would like to see developed for 2018. I posted it here for comments from others who use this site (whether for or against).
5 comments
Is there a link somewhere on one of Ingram's websites that invites new retailers to open an account with them? That would be my first approach.
For retailers who don't want to sign up for whatever reason, do you have a page on your own website that has all the info about your books and how to order directly from you? I have an online bookstore and occasionally get retailer enquiries/purchase orders. Then I dropship the books from my IngramSpark account. I'd prefer they go through Ingram, but it's always good to offer an alternative.
@Michelle Lovi
I'm actually trying to set up a page on my website to provide accurate information for prospective book shops who may come across my website. I've learned from a podcast done by Joel Friedlander how important a media kit is. The "media kit for book stores" would have such ordering information. That's why I posted my comment here because wanted to know where and how Ingram Sparks provides the information that I, as a publisher, can give out so that a book store can get ordering my books immediately.
I'm in Sweden. It would be prohibitive expensive for me to do dropshipping, either from Ingram Spark to the store directly or with me effectively as a wholesaler. I've already looked at this option. The direct route of stores ordering using the 55% off list price is the best option. But to enable a company to order they need to be able to know where to go for such an order without them being delayed by searching for the information or me searching for it to give to them. That's essentially I'm asking for when asking for something like a link (akin to an affiliate link on Amazon) to place orders and regardless of whether they already order from Ingram Spark or not.
I give out a link out similar to what I gave at the end of my first post, if they're not signed up it redirects temporarily to sign up before taking back to my page, and if already a client it does it directly. It would list all current available books with an order button, they click the button, list how many copies they want, and the order goes to them. They pay Ingram Spark, I get my compensation 90 days later or whatever if the book sold and wasn't returned.
The benefit would be for a system like this is that it would boost my promotion capability on B2B level. I can email a potential client, and give a single line of contact to order books with, rather a half page of "this is how to order my books." This increases customer retention, it doesn't distract from the message (my books for sale), and it makes it easier for the sales copy to fall within the attention span of 30 seconds in which most people make up their mind whether to do business or not. It reduces the size of an email. It also pulls the focus back to the place where the books are ordered from, which is the Ingram ordering system.
With a second layer of integration I can do what you do and have a bookstore, but layer into that this secondary function. It could even be possible with tweaking to offer B2B clients to order books from my site at 55% off list price, but that all functions act to pipe the order to Ingram and that they then do the fulfillment.
But before any of this is remotely possible it needs to be that I can give a one line method of telling how to order as a time saving device.
You can refer them to Ingram Content Group directly. There is a link on Ingram's website that invites retailers (buyers and sellers), printers and manufacturers, to open an account with them. Once they sign up they have a number of ordering options available to them. For example: iPage, iSelect, etc. Here is the link where retailers can create an account to order books: https://www.ingramcontent.com/retailers/ordering

Bulgarian tenor Mihail Mihaylov graduated from the National Music Academy 'Prof. Pancho Vladigerov' in Sofia, where he studied under the guidance of Professor Ivanka Ninova. At the age of twenty-two, during his studies, he made his opera debut singing the part of Count Almaviva in Il barbiere di Siviglia. Following his graduation from the Academy, Mihaylov performed Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore, Beppe in Rita, Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor, Alfredo in La traviata, Duca di Mantova in Rigoletto, Fenton in Falstaff, Count Camille de Rosillon in Die lustige Witwe, at the most important Bulgarian opera houses as well as at the Macedonian Opera and Ballet in Skopje.

Vranesh was a female dragon bonded to Liandra, Princess of Caledor during the Time of Legends. [1]
A large dragon, her gleaming scales were flame-red in colour. [1]
Vranesh was distant kin to the mighty Draukhain and a dragon in her prime during the War of the Beard.
She died from her wounds after she and Liandra slew in battle Urislakh, the Bloodfang, a black dragon under the control of the dark elf sorceress Drutheira. [1]
Playful but savage with only a semi-respectful relationship with the truth, Vranesh was deeply bonded to and very fond of Liandra who she called feleth-amina – fire-child. [1]
|Forgive you? I do not forgive!

PHOTO: Jessica Lange for Marc Jacobs Beauty
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
While Marc Jacobs might have received some flak for hiring Miley Cyrus for its Spring 2014 ad campaign, the label will surely win those fans back (and then some!) with the announcement of their decision to hire Jessica Lange as the new face of Marc Jacobs Beauty.
The brand offered up a preview - shot by David Sims - in which Lange naturally pulls off the sultry-but-fierce look beneath some very noir-ish shadows. Even Jeurgen Teller couldn't resist photographing that face!

Kendall Jenner Looks Unrecognizable in Marc Jacobs Show
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models,
Makeup really can make all the difference - just as Kendall Jenner.
Sporting bleached brows and a short, brown wig, it was easy to miss the Keeping Up with the Kardashian star in the Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2014 show yesterday.
"I just recently turned 18, so this [Marc Jacobs show] is my big kick-off to start and grow my career. The New York fashion scene is crazy, madness, but I love the energy. I love everything about it - like the hair and makeup today, it's incredible. I've never had my eyebrows bleached; I don't even look like myself!" she told Into the Gloss.
Turning 18 also helped with the fact that she can now legally show a little more skin these days - which is exactly what she did on the Marc Jacobs runway, modeling a see-through v-neck top with cropped pants (NSFW photo after the jump).

Marc Jacobs to Sell Fragrance for Tweets
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Who needs cash when you have a Twitter account?
So says execs for the upcoming Marc Jacobs pop-up shop for New York Fashion Week, anyway. Appropriately titled the Daisy Marc Jacobs Tweet Shop, the company will offer visitors goods in exchange for Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook posts with the hashtag "#MJDaisyChain." So while it may be considered free by American monetary standards, the Marc Jacobs products will be paid for with social networking fare.
The shop - which will be open from February 7 to February 9 - comes complete with a lounge, a Daisy photo booth (for your Instagram, of course!), drinks, and Wi-Fi (naturally).
Additionally, "he most creative social media posts" will win Marc Jacobs accessories throughout the day. Sounds like a good deal for any fashionista!

Nicolas Ghesquière Is Louis Vuitton's New Artistic Director
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
And so the rumors are true: Nicolas Ghesquière is the next artistic director at Louis Vuitton.
The 42 year-old French designer will be taking over the reigns from Marc Jacobs, whose departure from the brand was in October - following the fashion house's Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Jacobs headed the brand for 16 years.
Ghesquière last served as the creative director for another major French fashion house: Balenciaga. Named the youngest creative director of the brand at the age of 25 (during the same year Jacobs took over at Louis Vuitton), Ghesquière left the brand after serving 15 years at his post over challenges with its parent company, Kering. "I began to feel as though I was sucked dry, like they wanted to steal my identity while trying to homogenize things," the French designer previously said.
Ghesquière's celebrity fans include the likes of Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Connelly.

New Marc Jacobs Ad Shocks, Humors
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Videos,
With fashion advertisements constantly pushing the boundries of what's acceptable to show to the public, it comes as no surprise that Marc Jacobs - a brand that has recently been slammed for portraying Dakota Fanning a la Lolita style in a fragrance ad - would come out with a sunglasses ad featuring a man who appears to be masturbating in public.
Seen above, the man - who was discovered to be an employee from the brand's retail store in SoHo - is initially seen from behind, making a movement with his right arm which indicates that he is pleasuring himself in the middle of a park. The ad then cuts to a frontal shot of him, and it is revealed that he is merely cleaning his sunglasses. Before leaving the frame of the shot, he gives the camera a wry smile.

Marc Jacobs: Working With Beckham Was Unexpected
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Marc Jacobs loved working with Victoria Beckham because no one expected it.
The Louis Vuitton designer cast the former Spice Girl in a campaign for his eponymous brand in 2008 and caused controversy with an advertisement which saw just her legs coming out of a shopping bag, but Marc revealed he chose her because it was so unexpected: "Victoria would never have been the type of person that I think anyone would have thought of as our customer. Victoria liked the idea very much and was totally into it so I said, 'Let's treat her like she's a kind of product.' Because she is, she's created herself... And the first image you saw was just her legs coming out of a shopping bag."

Louis Vuitton Named World's Most Valuable Luxury Brand
Louis Vuitton has been named the world's most valuable luxury brand.
The French fashion house - whose creative director is Marc Jacobs - took the title for a seventh consecutive year after being valued at $25.9 billion following a study based on analysis of company performance and consumer interviews conducted by global research company Millward Brown Optimor.
Louis Vuitton beat off competition from Hermes, which was second with $19.1 billion, and Swiss watchmakers Rolex were third with $7.17 billion.
"Luxury is seen as a good investment with people increasingly buying classic pieces rather than high fashion. Those who can afford it indulge, including young professionals who, increasingly unable to buy houses, are spending their disposable income on mid-tier luxury," Nick Cooper, managing director of Millward Brown Optimor, said in a statement.

Louis Vuitton to Collaborate with Yayoi Kusama
Louis Vuitton is to team up with Yayoi Kusama for a new collection.
Marc Jacobs, creative director of the French fashion house - which last worked with Yayoi in February when it offered her financial support for her collection at the Tate Modern - is looking forward to teaming up with the Japanese artist again for the range because he "admires" her "endless" energy: "Her energy is just endless. Through the painstaking sort of obsession in each of her canvasses and installations that she's created, you see this world that never ends. I guess that's what I admire and that's what I respond to in terms of feeling for her and for her work."

Louis Vuitton Merchandise Stolen
More than $400,000 worth of Louis Vuitton merchandise was stolen from Paris' Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport on Friday.
While the investigation into the heist is ongoing, it is believed a gang of masked thieves held the store's five members of staff hostage while they filled two waiting lorries with luxury goods manufactured by the French fashion house. No further details are yet known, but Parisian police are looking into the theft.
Earlier this month, Marc Jacobs claimed its entire Spring/Summer 2012 collection - made up of 46 looks - was stolen from a train in Paris during a routine transfer. An email to staff cancelling the fashion brand's press day in London read, "Dear all. The Marc Jacobs PR team is sorry to inform you that our press day tomorrow in the Marc Jacobs store is cancelled, due to the theft of the Spring/Summer 2012 collections during its transfer from Paris."
It is thought the collection was stolen in an attempt to counterfeit the samples rather than sell them on the black market.

Iraq Dinar and Chapter 7
A Change for the Iraqi Economy
A new chapter has begun for the once again completely sovereign nation of Iraq, as it was reclassified from Chapter 7 to Chapter 6 of the United Nation's charter. In effect, it is like someone being released from prison. All of his confiscated possessions will be returned to him, and he will once again have full control of his finances.
This could deliver a huge boost to the value of Iraq's currency, the dinar, with the return of billions of dollars worth of assets frozen shortly after its 1990 invasion of neighbour Kuwait.
But Iraq's release from political prison also opens it up to suits and claims of reparation against it. Out from under Chapter 7 restrictions, how will Iraq manage its affairs now? And what will this mean for its dinar?
A New Chapter
While Chapter 7 authorizes the UN to impose sanctions or use military force against a country that steps out of line, Chapter 6 allows a nation to handle disputes with other countries on its own through peaceful negotiation.
"Iraq can now have normal relations and sign all sorts of treaties with other countries of the world," Labeed Abbawy, Iraq's former deputy foreign minister, expressed his relief to the Kurdistan paper Rudaw. "We were not getting invitations from the international conferences and some countries would even deny visas to our Iraqi diplomats."
Only two issues still remain under Chapter 7: a ban on certain arms and the completion of reparation payments to Kuwait, with $11 billion outstanding of the original $52 billion owed.
All other sanctions and restrictions have been lifted. Iraq can rebuild its military. It can be party to political and trade treaties. It will control its oil revenues as its own government determines. It will even see the return of some $82 billion worth of frozen assets held in foreign banks since its invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
"The lifting of Chapter 7 against Iraq will enable it to regain independence in its oil policy, and Iraq again can become an important regional and international energy player," Dr. Rebawar Khinsi boasted his optimism to Rudaw.
Good times are indeed in Iraq's future, which should bode well for the dinar. But there are still a number of obstacles to clear out of the way.
Stability Issues
For the time being, the country is still being closely watched, like a released ex-convict under probation.
"Iraq will remain under observation and it has to respect the role of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)," Dindar Zebari, special representative of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in the UN clarified to Rudaw. "Iraq is still not a stable country so the UN delegation will keep its presence there."
Threatening Iraq's stability are a number of unresolved issues from its past. Rudaw reports that "minorities have been especially concerned, apprehensive that the Iraqi government - without a leash - could turn into yet another threat."
Haydar Mulla, an al-Iraqiya MP, although supportive of the chapter change, acknowledges "there are fears that lifting the restrictions will free the hands of the Iraqi government against the minorities."
Besides continued tensions among Iraq's disunited population, there are also a number of reparation claims to be settled after Saddam Hussein's dictatorial rampage. As Amir Hassan Fayaz, head of the political science department at Nahrein College, expressed to Rudaw, "Iraq will become a normal country again and will be dealt with as a sovereign state. Now all the countries that Iraq is indebted to can ask for payment."
The ex-convict is now going to be confronted by all the people he robbed and cheated, and there is no longer any Chapter 7 to protect him. The dinar can't pull its flying carpet trick just yet.
Effect on the Dinar
What the changing of the chapters does for Iraq is lift a multitude of restrictions. But the nation still needs to grow into those expanded boundaries. Just because you move a plant from a small pot to a large pot does not mean it will grow instantly.
There are three main economic benefits delivered by Chapter 6: a) the return of frozen assets; b) debt forgiveness; and c) full control of revenues. While the first two will have an immediate affect on the nation's financial circumstances, the third will take years to bear results.
- First, there is the return of $82 billion in frozen assets. Indeed, this will have an immediate effect on Iraq's balance sheet as soon as the funds are returned. Unfortunately, it will have a very small impact on the nation's financial position or its currency's value.
$82 billion is barely six months' worth of Iraq's annual GDP of $155 billion (CIA World Factbook). This is a "one-shot-deal", not a recurring revenue. It should boost the value of the dinar to a certain extent. But once it is factored in, it will have no further boosting effect.
- Next is the forgiveness of Iraq's debt by as much as 80%. With most of that forgiveness already applied between 2004 and 2010, the current remaining debt, as reported by the CIA World Factbook, is $50 billion. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari expects this to be completely paid off by 2015, making the nation debt free.
Though this is quite the achievement, it is another "one-shot-deal", not a recurring revenue. Its value is only 4 months' worth of GDP, spread out over the next 2 years, the effect of which should strengthen the IQD a little over time until 2015 and then stop.
- Finally, as the greatest benefit of the UN's decision, Iraq will be in full control of its oil revenues to spend as its elected governing bodies determine. Yet this does not result in an immediate increase in the nation's wealth. Rather, the immediate effect of taking control of its finances will likely result in a worse balance sheet over the shorter term.
While under Chapter 7, Iraq could do just two things with its oil revenues: pay reparations to Kuwait and invest in its reconstruction fund, which included upgrading infrastructure and expanding its oil production.
Under Chapter 6, however, Iraq will have to manage additional expenses. It must rebuild its military, not an inexpensive task in these modern times. It also needs to start dealing with the multitude of claims against it by nations and groups not yet compensated for Saddam's abuses against them.

Slow Evolution
Iraq's economy will grow. It will become wealthier, and the dinar will increase in value. But this will evolve slowly over time.
As Rudaw reports:
"According to Iraq's energy plan, oil exports are expected to reach 6 million barrels per day by 2017, elevating the federal budget to $216 billion, [and] 9 million barrels per day by 2020, raising the budget to $324 billion. In 2025, the federal budget will reach $432 billion, if Iraq succeeds to export 12 million barrels of oil per day."
Sounds like a great plan, and it will strengthen the IQD gradually over the next 12 years. But only when the Iraqi central bank finally decides to allow the currency to trade freely. As it is now, it just keeps returning to those same central bank-controlled rates.
The change from one UN chapter classification to another does only one thing: it puts sovereignty back into Iraq's hands. But the journey to prosperity and ultimately a strong currency depends on what that nation's government does with its new found freedom. Is it responsible enough? Is it capable enough? Is it united enough?
The future of the IQD depends on more than just a UN classification and the return of frozen assets. It depends on Iraq's patching up differences with its neighbors and unifying its own citizens, on its continued reconstruction and investment in its oil industry, and on its willingness to open the cage confining its currency to let it fly and trade freely in an open market.
Until these three things happen – unity, reconstruction, and free exchange – the IQD will have a heck of a time gaining any strength at all.
In the meantime, other markets that are fully united, fully built, and fully free are ready and waiting for our investments. And they will likely give us a better return over a shorter period of time.
June 27's news on the chapter change has had no impact on the IQD thus far, currently trading at 1162 per 1 USD, as it was then. (click chart to enlarge)

Showcases >> CRUISe Component Repository
Composition of Rich User Interface Services (CRUISe) is a challenging task: UI components and interaction metaphers are anything but uniform, personalisation and context awareness is missing in most toolkits, complex UI components are hard to encapsulate and their customisation takes a lot of effort. Therefore, the CRUISe idea is to treat UI elements as services and register them in a service registry which, incidentally, is a graphically and functionally modified variant of ConQo, the SPACE registry platform service. The CRUISe registry adds UI service ontologies, a new descriptive artefact type called UI Service Description Language (UISDL), functional subdomain browsing and full-text search.
The diagram below describes the basic functionality of CRUISe. It demonstrates especially how UI services can be connected to functional and data services to integrate them into flexible application and service ecosystems.

The scientists behind the Breakthrough Starshot mission are already fine-tuning the design for their nano-probes to increase the odds they'll survive the trip to Proxima Centauri b.
In a paper posted to the arXiv pre-print server last week, researchers lay out their latest calculations on the kinds of damage their scaled-down spacecraft could face as they speed toward the Alpha Centauri system at 20 percent of the speed of light.
The mission and the study have taken on greater importance, due to this week's announcement that a potentially habitable planet has been detected in orbit around Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf that's part of the star system. It's the star that's closest to our own solar system, lying only 4.2 light-years away.
In astronomical terms, Proxima Centauri is right next door. But in mission planning terms, it's far, far away. It would take tens of thousands of years for a conventional spacecraft to get there.
To reduce that time frame, Breakthrough Starshot has proposed sending bunches of lightweight electronic wafers, known as "Starchips." The Starchips would be accelerated to relativistic speeds by aiming powerful lasers at film-thin light sails that carry the probes along.
If the system works as the team hopes, the nano-probes could zoom through the Alpha Centauri system and beam back data roughly 20 years after they're launched.
That's a big "if." Loads of engineering challenges will have to be solved first. But Russian billionaire Yuri Milner's initial contribution of $100 million to the effort has gotten things going, and this month's paper addresses some of the challenges.
The researchers behind the paper include Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who chairs Breakthrough Starshot's advisory committee. Loeb and his colleagues say that shielding the nano-probes from interstellar particles of gas and dust will be a "critical challenge for the initiative."
Based on computer modeling, they say a grain of dust traveling at relativistic speeds could blast a crater in the surface of the spacecraft, and the heat of impact could melt or scramble additional bits of the material. Hitting heavy atoms of interstellar gas could be just as bad.
Fortunately, dust grains big enough to destroy the spacecraft completely are thought to be rare in the interstellar medium. "Their effect is likely to be unimportant," the researchers say. But to minimize the damage from dust and gas bombardment, the researchers recommend putting a thin graphite shield in front of the spacecraft.
They also recommend configuring the Starchips to look like needles, pointing in the direction of travel. That would minimize the exposure of the probes' electronics to the particle blast.
When the Breakthrough Starshot initiative was announced in April, Loeb and other advisers said it might take 20 years and billions of dollars to create the fleets of Starchips and light sails required for the mission, plus the battery of laser-equipped antennas to power them.
Assuming that the technology works, it'd take another 20 years or more for the trip, plus more than four years to hear back from the Alpha Centauri fly-by. Which means that under the most optimistic scenario, the payoff from the mission wouldn't come until around 2060.
And we're just talking about needle-sized probes here: This week, Science News' Tom Siegfried noted that a conventional spacecraft propelled by chemical rocket technology would take almost 80,000 years to reach Proxima Centauri. Solar sail propulsion wouldn't do that much better.
An experimental scheme known as near-light-speed particle propulsion, or NcPP, could cut that time to 4,000 to 9,000 years – but that's still a mind-bogglingly long time.
"Surely within 4,000 years somebody will invent a faster technology that could pass the alpha-decay craft and get to Proxima b first," Siegfried writes.
Let's just hope Zefram Cochrane gets that warp drive invented in time to attract notice from the Vulcans in 2063, as described in "Star Trek: First Contact."
In addition to Loeb, the authors of "The Interaction of Relativistic Spacecrafts With the Interstellar Medium" include Thiem Hoang, A. Lazarian and Blakesley Burkhart.

LSAT Kung Fu Blog / LSAT Kung Fu Blog
LSAT Kung Fu Blog
Well, the first week was interesting, and the second week was a weird series of adventures (well, that's a generous characterization. I started to catch a cold Friday of Week 1, and by Memorial Day, it had turned into a sinus infection. I went in to work Tuesday and got sent home. I stayed home Wednesday too, and Thursday decided I had to actually go to a doctor (ugh). Loaded up on antibiotics, and Friday I carpooled with the other 1L summer clerk to the firm's state main office for a day of training. That's the extent of the adventures; postnasal drip, a long road-trip and a Memorial Day at home sick. So really I totally lied about the adventure aspect of Week 2).
I'm working in a small public interest firm. One thing that's weird about this for me that may not be weird for you is that I've spent the last 10 years almost completely in charge of my own time (except when I taught live classes and had to be in the classroom at specified times; even then, though, I chose the class schedule). It's been a strange transition to office work.
I'll keep it short. I've been meaning to create a timeline to help you visualize how your LSAT prep should go. This week, after the end of the semester and before I start my summer job, seemed like the right time.
So I did. It's above.
First, know that it's intended as a rough guide to help you think about how to order your prep and roughly how much time to spend on each element of your prep. I didn't mean it as a prescription—you may spend more or less time on any single element of your practice if it makes you feel happier. However, it is a pretty close approximation of my recommendations to you. So, for example, you may want to do 6 or 7 timed practice exams instead of 5 as your test date approaches. Fine, but it's probably not best for your score to do 20 of those and not do any stop-time drills. In other words, as long as you're sticking relatively close to this timeline, I think you'll be doing good work.
Here's the idea: From the time you press "play" on your first Velocity video until test day comes (and you're ready for it!), your prep can fit into five main boxes. I recommend that you tackle those boxes in the following order:
Well, I wish I had used a more automated system for tracking my time this semester. I mean, like a spreadsheet. Instead I just kept notes like a dummy, which means I just spent several minutes adding up numbers in my head (faster than retyping them into a spreadsheet).
But enough about how big a dummy I am. Cut me some slack, man, is what I'm saying.
We spent 15 weeks in classes this semester at Mavis Staples (plus two weeks of finals, which I'll deal with separately at the end, and one week of spring break, which I've totally ignored for reporting purposes here).
Over those 15 weeks, I spent 169 hours in class. I missed a few classes this term; mostly while doing Mock Trial, but also one snow day and a random other class or two. Here, I am not recording all the hours that I was scheduled to be in class, but only the hours that my butt was actually in a seat.
And over those 15 weeks, I spent 62 hours reading in preparation for class. Here, I counted only time that I spent reading casebooks or doing other preparation for normal classes. In other words, this represents my total time commitment to class preparation. It's my study time allotment.
Well, last week was the last week of classes for my 1L year. As I write this, my first final (Contracts II) is tomorrow morning. Then I've got two days off, then my second final (Civ Pro II), then two more days off, and final three (Property) followed by two more days off, then the final final (Torts II) of my first year of law school.
I clearly remember the feeling I described as I approached my first set of law school finals: like we'd run off the cliff but hadn't started falling yet (to be fair, I mean, I'm old, but not so old that I cannot clearly remember something that happened fewer than five months ago).
Right now, the feeling is so different. Our final tomorrow is closed book, so I spent about two hours yesterday and so far two more today reviewing my notes and previous exams. I will probably do another hour this evening.
This is probably going to be a very short post. I'm in the last week of class (meaning next week finals start! IT FLEW BY), and I'm feeling lazy.
But I was thinking about the way I've read for class this semester, and how it's different from the way I read for class last semester, and especially different from the first half-ish of last semester.
As I wrote back then (a little bit here, and a little bit more here), I read for understanding. Thing is, I've decided now that I spent WAY too much time reading. I over-read like a boss. Now, to be clear, that method of reading is GREAT for learning. Making sure that I understood every difficult point before I moved on was a powerful strategy for gettin on top of the material.
There was just no need for me to do that much work. This semester, I've been doing the reading at a much higher-level skim. I am not trying to make myself understand every nuance. In fact, I'm applying almost exactly the strategies I use for the LSAT Reading Comp.
Last week was a big fundraising week for some scholarships at my law school (which hereafter I'll refer to as Mavis Staples School of Law because (1) REASONS and (2) I'm tired of calling it "my law school."). There was a silent auction for a couple of days; local businesses donated stuff and you could write down your bid. The highest bid got the stuff, and the money went to help fund the scholarship. There was a field day at the end of the week which sounded like it would be fun (sack races!), but it was on a Friday afternoon and as fun as sack races are (SUPER THE MOST FUN), I wanted to get home to the fam, so I didn't go to that.
On Thursday, there was also a live auction. For the live auction, professors donated what were essentially dinner dates, but for groups of students. A professor would agree to host 4 to 6 students at a local bar, for example, and would buy all the drinks and appetizers. Stuff like that. Students typically bid in groups, so they could split the donation. There were maybe a dozen such events auctioned off, and they went for $150—$250 each.
I thought I might not write a blog post this week. I don't know why I'm so tired, but I am! I think I haven't fully recovered from the extended Spring Break festivities/ongoing carnival of visitors (my wife and I took a weekend away, but we made what was in retrospect the mistake of driving nearly three hours to do it).
But then I just now finished writing a practice exam for Civ Pro, and I thought it would be useful to you to think about how you'll write your exams once you start law school. I won't use the essay I just wrote, because it hasn't been assessed by my professor. I think it's pretty OK, but you're not interested in my opinion here. Instead, I'll use a practice exam from Torts, which has been assessed, and for which I received full marks (10 out of possible 10).
I've pasted it below. As you read, notice three things:
Guys, law school is a roller coaster (well, an emotional roller coaster. Not a literal roller coaster) (But wouldn't that be great? I bet enrollments in law school would go THROUGH THE ROOF if they replaced classes with a literal roller coaster. Are you listening, Big Law School? This idea is now my copyright and you will owe me some of that sweet, sweet enrollment cash once you make the switch to a roller-coaster-based curriculum).
Emotionally, it seems like it might be an awful lot like the practice of law. I imagine that—particularly for a litigator—losing a case would be like a punch to the stomach (especially when you really believed you should have/were going to win), and winning probably feels like life just gave you a high-five. Law school is that way in my experience.
You say something dumb in class, and you wish you could crawl under your seat so that no one can see your shame.
Then you do something smart (maybe even by accident!) and you strut around campus like you're a dang superhero.
There are ups and downs, is what I'm saying. You know, like a roller coaster.
The thing is, with a roller coaster, you do not hop off during the down times (that would be very dangerous, among other reasons).
This past week, I accepted a summer position with a local public interest firm. It promises to be an immersive, hands-on experience in which I will be given considerable latitude in determining my range of responsibilities. I cannot practice law yet (most states have laws that will allow a law student to practice under the supervision of a licensed attorney, but in most cases—including my state—the student must have completed three or four semesters' worth of law school classes), but I can accompany lawyers to court, help write briefs, and do some of the work of an advocate. At my position in this firm, I'll be doing that work on behalf of people in my community who need representation but cannot afford to pay for it.
Part of the reason I got this job is my first semester grades. Part is my interview and the recommendations I got from my professors. Another part is my cover letter. Today, I thought I'd show you what my letter looked like, and discuss its relevant parts.
Here's the redacted letter I wrote:
Things to note about it:
The Bluebook, or as the French call it, the Bleubook (nope. Sorry I wrote that. I take it back, and please convey my condolences to the senses of humor I killed by typing it). Where was I? Oh, yeah:
You guys will learn to love the Bluebook.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . .
. . . [Deep breath, wipes eyes] . . .
No, I've got a grip now. I'm good. It's OK.
The legal Bluebook is the manual for proper legal citation. It is even less good than you're thinking right now. Because probably, you're thinking "Well, OK. I mean, I'm sure it's not riveting reading or anything, but it's just a set of rules for doing legal citation. What's the big deal?"

Every year brings a recent development for the mobile industry including its development in detailed. Each passing year has witnessed exponential development within the section of mobile users' activity. The unexpected increase admired for mobile phone handsets and utility; coupled with the present kind of mobile operating systems; has generated a corresponding give of mobile utility builders. Here is the estimate of mobile application progress scenario/development for the year upcoming.
Demand for Business Application
However, we now have witnessed a pointy progress in mobile gaming and social networking utility till date, the focal point in 2016 shall be on trade purposes. Several businessmen are now replying on their shrewd phones and other cell handsets to multitask, shop time, and lead less complicated life. Mobile application development is becoming critical business in these days, with patrons disturbing expanded functionalities and utilities.

This has been an exhausting two months, but two months filled with more joy and love than I could have ever imagined. We had visitors, we had our first 8 days without daddy, we dealt with sickness, reflux, allergies, and desperately trying to figure out what works best for us. There has been so much trial and error and I'd be lying if I said we have it all figured out. Let's be real, I'm just praying we're close.
My plan was to exclusively breastfeed until Kai turned at least 6 months. He's the best eater, but even still he has never seemed fully satisfied and as soon as his eyes would open he was screaming for food. We started supplementing one bottle every night once we got home from the hospital and that seemed to help, at least temporarily. After a couple weeks of formula before bed, he started throwing up excessively after feedings and he spit up all.day.long. Whenever we started to find a rhythm, something would change. I guess welcome to the life of having a (small) child… or so I've heard 😉
I thought I was tired before Gauge went to the field for eight days, but I quickly realized that was actually nothing. Being a single parent is no joke.
Kai and I had our first solo outing the morning after Gauge left. Guess where we went? Target. He slept the whole car ride, so I was confident that he'd stay asleep long enough for me to grab the items on my list and get the heck back to the car. No. No more than 5 minutes into our shopping trip and on an aisle in the complete opposite corner of the store from the fitting rooms, he woke up screaming. Refused his binky. Didn't care that I was holding him. Didn't realize that HE WAS OKAY. I silently panicked as I danced with him up and down the aisle while people walked by giving me pity stares and making comments about the "poor little thing…" OKAY YEAH AND HIS POOR MOM TOO LOL. I didn't know whether to run to the fitting rooms to feed him or give up & ditch the cart full of un-purchased items and run to the car.
I put him back in his seat, prayed, and we headed the long way to the fitting rooms. We cut through the baby department — I figured it wouldn't be too surprising or frowned upon to come across a screaming baby in the very section dedicated to babies.
I frantically asked the fitting room attendant if I could use one of their big rooms to feed my baby and she practically begged me to do so…what a kind, kind lady she was. After 45 minutes of feeding and a baby who still wasn't happy, I found myself on my knees in the fitting room, trying to hold Kai's binky in his mouth, rocking his carseat, and crying…actually we were both crying.
I felt drained and like a complete failure. It was near impossible to run a simple errand and I knew all too well that this wouldn't be the last time we were on our own in public. It was pretty much in that moment that I had to surrender and accept the fact that I couldn't keep up with him. Going out of the house was hit or miss…usually a complete miss. He was eating more than anyone I'd ever met and being on my own I wasn't able to eat, drink, or rest NEAR enough to keep up with his demand. I quickly weaned him off of breastmilk and he has been consistently (and happily) eating a bottle of 4-6 ounces per feeding.
I was heartbroken and admittedly cried myself to sleep two nights in a row after I made this choice because I felt so much guilt and pressure from the world to continue breastfeeding. And of course I thought about all of the mama's who aren't able to breastfeed, or whose babies are sick and can't — just like mine couldn't for the first two days of his life. I never want to take it for granted. Knowing that I was the only one who could feed this sweet boy brought me so much joy, but it was a job. A job that I was failing at and that just wasn't working for us. After switching to formula, we have the happiest baby & the most relieved mama. Now we can be in public…even when Baby K is awake!!! HALLELUJAH!
A few nights earlier my mom sent me a text with a song title and told me to listen to it when I got a chance… well that night in the bathroom, as Kai laid asleep by the door in his Dock-A-Tot (for the longest nap he'd taken in a week), I sat on the floor and listened to that song. "You Say" by Lauren Daigle. Wow. Just wow.
"I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say that I am Yours
And I believe, oh I believe
What You say of me
I believe
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity"
Tears streamed down my face and that song has pretty much been on repeat since that night. I had felt so defeated. I felt alone. I felt like an absolute failure of mom. And human. I questioned everything I was doing. But guess what? I AM HUMAN. YOU ARE HUMAN. These words don't just apply to the new mom who is struggling and trying to figure things out as she goes. These words are truth for YOU, too, in whatever tricky season of life you find yourself in.
In the last two weeks Kai has started to find his voice and smile when he's talked to. Gauge & I mock his voices and his responses are so funny. He squirms and kicks and has the craziest arms. I always joke that he'd be a much happier baby if he didn't have arms, because he constantly hits his binky out of his mouth and loses his mind every.single.time.
He loves bath time, every meal of the day — he's a champion eater & weighed 11.15 pounds at his 2 month check up today!!! He loves being held and swaddled and cuddled, despite what his dad thought before he was born 😉
We've finally been able to get into somewhat of a routine, so Gauge & I are at least able to differentiate between when he's tired or hungry. We've implemented sleep training techniques since Kai was about 3 weeks old, but because of the constant need to eat and this inconsistent lifestyle of ours, it didn't go as smoothly as we'd hoped. BUT, we are finally seeing so much progress and I believe we've found the "right" formula & what works best for us — after trying three different types. PRAISE!!! And he is putting himself to sleep most nights & for all naps!
During the day it's just the two of us, so we've gotten into our own routine. We watch Gilmore Girls, he helps me clean the house & prep dinner, we snuggle on the couch for at least one nap time, we take selfies, we have staring contests, we have tummy time — we also learned how to roll onto our back, but we're still a little unsure about it LOL, we walk to the mailbox, and we try to cross off all the things on mommy's to-do list! 🙂
Thank you for making me a mama two months ago, my sweetest little bubbaroo. You bring me so much joy & I love you more than you will ever know!

Style | Boilersuits aren't just for plumbers…
this post contains affiliate links
When I was a kid, my Dad used to work for British Gas, installing and repairing boilers. He wore a royal blue boilersuit to work every day. Covered in paint and plaster from decorating the house, he would heave this heavy piece of utility clothing on over his jeans and tshirt to work in.
It's a far cry from the modern boilersuits that are all over the high street at the moment. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw me wearing mine the other day. I got teased about sending me off to fix the heating – yeah yeah! It's fashion Dad!
So if you aren't wishing to decorate or fix the heating, but are really into comfy clothing, then the boilersuit should be making an appearance into your wardrobe. There are so many on the market at the moment, from zip up utility styles, denim numbers to soft belted linen ones.
Here are a few of my favourites from around the high street:
Clockwise from top left:
Utility cargo boilersuit – H&M – £17.99
Kin Utility Jumpsuit – John Lewis – £119
Belted jumpsuit – Cos – £89
Organic cotton workwear boilersuit – &otherstories – £89
Rust red denim boilersuit – Monki – £40
Very top image – denim workwear boilersuit – Toast – £195
Middle image – Belted jumpsuit – Cos – £89
More boilersuits I've discovered can be found here, and in my online shop.
So, will you be joining the boilersuit trend? I love it.

AGPrinz Titan The BeSharps Sunday 01/03/2015, 19:19
This card is literally one of the worst cards to play against in the entire game, for 2 stars. In fact, the whole vortex clan bonus really needs to be adjusted or banned, imo.
CyanYoshi Titan Visceral Expression Sunday 01/03/2015, 21:30
Because, the min is higher than freaks. If it was the freaks bonus, it would have be gone a while ago. Plus while I hate the vortex bonus in elo, sob can always fix this problem. And also, soa can fix your cyb problem(Even though you would use it against rahi sledon)
TheOPG Imperator Casual Grind Sunday 01/03/2015, 21:44
Because Vortex isn't too powerful (although its a bitch to play against if the other guy is crafty).
Sledon was indeed a bit much imo, and he's getting all the votes because A) he's a 5* and nobody bans 3 or below unless Saki and B) he was added later so banning him is a return to the status quo.
Sad Frog Imperator E X C A L I B U R Monday 02/03/2015, 04:29
Are you serious? Cyb Lhia's poison is very easy to play around. 4 is a high minimum and unless they draw into some DR you can almost always get them beneath 4 life for a win. Additionally, Vortex's damage tends to be high enough that you can't even get the full effect of her poison. C Wing, if played before the last round, effectively does nothing but gain a pill if he loses the round. His synergy with poison isn't as strong as actual damage reducers. She does 1 damage against SoA. Her bonus doesn't help her win. Easily dealt with if playing properly.
TheOPG Imperator Casual Grind Monday 02/03/2015, 04:39
Her bonus doesn't help her win, but it sure as shit makes her easier to pill against.
Sad Frog Imperator E X C A L I B U R Monday 02/03/2015, 04:40

It's never easy to play cyb..
Mainly coz the other vortex card will be Rahi Sledon..
Common Pilling Is 3-5 cyb if no soa...
If u out pill,it gets pill back and save on Sledon...
Else.. wait a turn for poison to do damage.. or 2 if cwing or dr is around..
and then nuke with Rahi in r3 or r4..
Again not to mention it's pill recovery.... easy dragging of game to 50-50
TheOPG Imperator Casual Grind Monday 02/03/2015, 05:00
I meant harder to pill against. I really need to get to sleep...
Sad Frog Imperator E X C A L I B U R Monday 02/03/2015, 05:02
So you're saying that Cyb Lhia is only hard to deal with when you draw a 5 star nuke? Literally every other strong 5 star card does that with a Vortex half. And yes, that will make some games unwinnable, but that's the nature of the game.
0 Arrogantaldo- Titan MICTLAN Monday 02/03/2015, 05:08
Yes.. 50-50s.. u said it.. nature of the current meta

Combat Commander is a series of games led by maps simulating the tactical infantry combat during the second World War. In this first volume, one player takes the role of the Axis (Germany) and the other player the role of the Allies (America or Russia). Players will act in one or more playing cards in their hand DESTINY in order to activate their units on the map to realize that various military activities. Players try to achieve victory by moving their combat units on the map to attack enemy units and occupy as many objectives as possible. The degree of success or failure of a player is measured by the pawns specific objectives of the scenario, the destruction of enemy units, and by friendly units out of the card edge of the opponent. Each time measurement of the game is divided into a variable number of player turn. At each turn, the sequence of play is fluid - the active player gives orders and the two players can take action - depending on the cards they have in hand. Events, good or bad, will occur at random intervals to add a bit of chaos and uncertainty to perfect plans that players will be defined.
Each hex of a Combat Commander map is about 30 meters from one side to another. Each tower is a complete player arbitrary segmentation of the passage of time, each able to game time is several minutes of real time. The units of the game are a single man for CHEFS, a team of five men, or a platoon of 10 men. Radios and small arms (at least those larger than a BAR, a rifle or shotgun) are represented by individual tokens.

Islamabad, 24th August, 2016: A roundtable on the "Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation: Nuclear Suppliers Group" was organized by the Centre for Pakistan and Gulf Studies (CPGS) hosting the two member Russian delegation headed by the Director, Centre for Energy and Security Studies (CENESS), Dr. Anton Khlopkov and Mr. Dmitry Konukhov, at the Pakistan Institute of Parliamentary Sevices (PIPS), today.
The discussion, widely attended by prominent policy makers, national legislators, practitioners and experts from various institutions including Ministry of Foreign Affairs, PNRA and PAEC was Chaired by the Former Chairman Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, Dr Ansar Parvez; speakers for the event were Dr Anton Khlopkov, (CENESS), Russian Federation, and Ambassador (R) Zamir Akram, Pakistan's Former Representative to the United Nations and Geneva. The speakers discussed the potential for civil nuclear cooperation between Pakistan and Russia. Pakistan's eligibility, application and entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was also debated. Senator Sehar Kamran (TI), President, CPGS, in her welcome remarks, stated that Pakistan has an advanced nuclear program. She said "Pakistan has the experience, expertise, credentials and immense untapped market potential, in addition to the manpower, infrastructure and ability necessary to supply NSG controlled items." Pakistan possesses every quality to render it an invaluable addition to the group, she added.
She further said, Pakistan has also made modest contributions to IAEA's activities by sharing its experience and providing services of experts in diverse technical areas such as nuclear radiation, transport and waste safety, nuclear security, application of nuclear technology in agriculture, medicine, industry and nuclear energy.
Participants opined that the real responsibility of maintaining regional stability falls on the United States since the policy of skewed support for "partners" is based around a strategy to contain China.
On principle, if an exemption can be made for India, it can certainly be made for Pakistan, they added.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is an intergovernmental international organization founded in Shanghai on June 15, 2001 by six countries – China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The six member states occupy territory that accounts for three-fifths of the Eurasian continent and have a population of 1.5 billion, a quarter of the world's population. In addition to the six member states, the SCO has two new acceding members, Indian and Pakistan, four observer nations, and six dialogue partners.
According to the SCO Charter and the Declaration on the Establishment of the SCO, the main purposes of SCO are: strengthening mutual trust and good-neighborliness and friendship among member states; developing their effective cooperation in political affairs, the economy and trade, science and technology, culture, education, energy, transportation, environmental protection and other fields; working together to maintain regional peace, security and stability; and promoting the creation of a new international political and economic order featuring democracy, justice and rationality.
The SCO abides by the following basic principles: adherence to the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations; respect for each other's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, mutual non-use or threat of use of force; equality among all member states; settlement of all questions through consultations; nonalignment and no directing against any other country or organization; opening to the outside world and willingness to carry out all forms of dialogues, exchanges and cooperation with other countries and relevant international or regional organizations.
The SCO stands for and acts on a new security concept anchored on mutual trust, disarmament and cooperative security; a new state-to-state relationship with partnership instead of alignment at its core, and a new model of regional cooperation featuring concerted efforts of countries of all sizes and mutually beneficial cooperation. In the course of development, a Shanghai spirit gradually took shape, a spirit characterized by mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, cooperation, respect for diversified civilizations and common development.
