text: The Japanese artistic collective Mé, familiar with installations playing with the instability of human perception, produces a destabilizing work, exhibited at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo until May 29. In a small room, a reproduction of the dark and disturbing ocean swell oscillates as light enters the room through the window at the back of the installation. Depending on the time of day, the agitation of the flow differs, as Ignant explains. Both an ode to the impetuous nature and an artistic translation of the powerful threat to the oceans, this work raises alarming themes, such as the melting of glaciers, sea pollution or access to drinkable water.

Nursing Home Arbitration Agreements
When the time comes for a loved one to go to a nursing home, it can be a very difficult process. Choosing the right facility with all of the amenities and services can be overwhelming. Once you've selected the facility you'll be facing a mountain of paperwork and legal forms to sign. One common legal form in a nursing home lease contract is an arbitration agreement.
In this arbitration agreement it usually states that if the resident or their family wants to pursue legal action against the nursing home, it must be done through a 3rd party arbitration instead of going to court.
The problem with using an arbitrator is their costs are far greater than the average court fees. A recent wrongful death case cost the plaintiff more than $30,000 in fees. Arbitrations are also often done behind closed doors and therefore do not get the same exposure public trials do.
To protect people from these outrageous fees, the federal government is looking at enforcing new laws that control the way nursing homes present arbitration agreements to residents.
The regulations would ensure residents fully understand the details of an arbitration agreement as well as prevent these agreements from being mandatory to obtain residency.
While many support this movement, more than 30 congressmen and 15 state attorney generals say this is not enough, and are pushing for a complete ban of arbitration agreements. There are more than 50 advocate groups that agree with the proposed ban.
Critics of the movement claim arbitration is a good option for everyone because it can render a faster decision than a court. They also point out that arbitration agreements are common in other medical situations such as surgeries.
If you need to take legal action against a nursing home for any kind of abuse or neglect call The Law Offices of Flint & Crawford. Whether a nursing home arbitration agreement was signed or not, you deserve compensation for the wrongs committed.

Many cases of chronic skin problems seem to be directly linked to diet. Whereas a healthy diet can benefit skin, some foods are believed to cause skin damage. What is the link between nutrition and skin? Erin Schumacher is a Certified Natural Health and Holistic Nutrition Practitioner. Thanks to her experience in natural health and skin conditions, she helps us to clarify the notion of a "healthy diet" and the connexion between skin and nutrition.
It is commonly said that one of the keys to healthy skin is a good diet. But healthy eating guidelines can be confusing. What is a healthy diet?
There is so much conflicting information out there in regards to being healthy. It's confusing! One day carbs are good for you, the next day they are the enemy.
Luckily there are some guidelines that never change in regards to a healthy diet. And a healthy diet that provides your body with a variety of vitamins and minerals is also the best for the skin.
Some things to consider/remember are:
Eat simply. A healthy diet is NOT counting calories. A healthy diet stays pretty consistent week by week. You want to focus the majority of your consumption on real foods. That means cutting out anything that comes from a box or a bag. Focus on local (when possible) and organic produce.
Eat whole, unprocessed foods, such as: fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. When eating meat, consume mostly fish and chicken. Reduce or eliminate the amount of red meat you consume.
It's best to remove sugary and caffeinated beverages and instead drink plenty of water. Caffeinated beverages can dehydrate the body. When you are dehydrated, it dries out your skin. When you have the right balance of water in your body, your skin will be soft and supple.
Also, eating good fats is really important to healthy skin. Instead of refined and processed vegetable oils, look towards avocados, coconut oil, and olive oil. These oils are not only good for your body but they are fantastic for your skin!
How does diet affect our skin?
It is said that a diet full of fried and fatty foods can lead to breakouts and problematic skin. This is true to an extent. There are a couple of things to remember in regards to the skin and how diet can affect it.
First of all, the skin is our largest organ of detoxification. If you're eating "conventional" foods that are full of pesticides and harmful chemicals, your body needs to detoxify these agents.
If not through the bowels, the body may choose to detoxify through the skin. The larger the amount of toxicity in the body, the greater the detoxification efforts through the skin will be.
Therefore, when possible, always buy organic produce. If organic is not available where you live, you can wash all your produce in certain fruit/vegetable washes that are helpful for removing chemical residues.
In addition, if one mainly eats foods that are full of rancid oils (as is the case in fried foods like french fries and potato chips) or foods that are so highly processed that the body doesn't know what to do with it (such as microwave dinners, preservative-full cookies, and hot dogs), it can lead to a detoxification process through the skin.
In addition, when a body is not receiving the spectrum of nutrients it needs (as is the case when one consumes the standard american diet (SAD) full of refined and processed foods) it can lead to skin issues such as eczema, acne, rashes and more.
To experience healthy and vibrant skin, eat from the rainbow!
Get a variety of different colored produce into your diet daily. Experiment with fruit and vegetable smoothies and juices to help increase the amount of produce you can eat (or drink) daily.
Eliminate the junk food snacks and replace them with nuts and seeds and minimally processed foods. To quote Michael Pollan:
If it comes from a plant, eat it. If it's made in a plant, don't."
Are there lots of skin problems that are linked to bad nutritional habits, food allergies or intolerances?
Depending on your unique food sensitivities/allergies/intolerances you can experience eczema, hives, rashes, dermatitis, and breakouts.
Food allergies are the number one cause of acne, and the worse the acne the more likely food allergies are involved. Eating a food to which the body is allergic leads to a continuous toxic reaction.
In such a case, the immune system fights the food as if it were an invading organism. This can cause inflammation in the skin (and many other conditions), as well as the need to eliminate the toxin.
The most common food allergies are usually related to soy, dairy and wheat. However, to each their own. We all have our own food sensitivities.
To find out if you have a food sensitivity, remove the food from your diet for a period of 7 to 14 days. Then slowly introduce that food product back in and notice your physical, emotional and mental reaction to the food.
In addition, it also is worth mentioning again that conventional (and refined) foods are loaded with pesticides and man-made chemicals that the body can react strongly to. You may think you are reacting to a certain food, when in fact you are reacting to a pesticide, food dye, or preservative such as benzoate or MSG.
How a food has been prepared, processed, handled and stored can cause an allergic reaction! Therefore, the simpler is better in regards to food consumption. And learning to read labels is another skill you may want to pick up. A good rule of thumb – if you cannot pronounce it, you shouldn't eat it.
Another thing to remember, food allergies also affect the immune system. Every time you eat a food that your body is sensitive to, it puts your entire system on red alert!
Continual stress on the immune system over time can lead to a variety of issues such as migraines, gas, bloating, mood swings, nervousness, sleeping problems, IBS, diarrhea, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and so much more!
All parts of our bodies are beautifully interconnected. Don't make the mistake in thinking that the digestive system is in any way separate from the rest of the body.
Do you think most people could heal their skin condition by following the right diet?
Yes, many of the cases of acne, for example, tend to clear themselves up when dairy and/or gluten is removed for good from the diet.
And as stated above, certain food allergies lead to a variety of skin conditions.
Therefore, if you work on eating a diet consisting of whole foods without pesticides and without chemical additives, you greatly reduce your exposure to potential food allergens.
What are the other important factors to look at?
A lot of times, we tend to focus too much on food in regards to health. This is understandable because food is the easiest variable to change. However, we also need to look at lifestyle factors.
Getting daily exercise is important to a healthy lymphatic system, which moves toxins out of our bodies. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.
A healthy functioning colon is important to clear skin and vibrant health. If you are having less than 2 to 3 bowel movements a day, something is wrong. Eat more fiber-rich foods and drink more water as a start to get the bowels moving.
A healthy gut (GI tract) filled with the correct balance of probiotics and bacteria is important to total-body healthy and radiant skin. Eat and drink probiotic rich foods like yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, and miso soup.
The amount of environmental toxins surrounding you can put added stress on your organs of detoxification leading to skin problems.
Look to eliminate as many "dirty" external factors as you can. Some studies have shown that the air we breathe inside our homes tends to be, on average, dirtier than the air outside our homes. This is true for those that live in cities, too!
Therefore, clean with environmentally friendly cleaning products that are not only good for the planet but good for your body and skin.
This also is the same in regards to whatever personal care products you are using on your skin. Everything that touches your skin is absorbed and must be filtered by the liver.
Therefore, if you are using makeup, lotion, shaving cream, etc that are full of toxic chemicals, it can lead to a variety of skin problems and health disorders.
Stress! Stress is the number one cause of disease in the developed world. In addition to leading to skin issues, it can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure and more! Ways to de-stress include: yoga, deep breathing, meditating, walking in nature, exercise, and anything else that helps you to calm down.

Senator the Hon. Mathias Cormann
Minister for Finance
Leader of the Government in the Senate
Senator for Western Australia
Date: Friday, 14 June 2019
Labor says it's eager to legislate income tax relief for low-income earners quickly. So are we. But there is no way the government will agree to split our income tax relief package. It was a firm election commitment and it is central to our plan for a stronger economy. Any attempt by the Senate to split the package would be rejected by the government in the House of Representatives.
So the way for Labor to help deliver income tax relief for low-income earners quickly is by voting for our entire package in the first week of next month.
Labor says it wants to see stronger wages growth. So do we.
Our plan for lower income taxes puts more money into workers' pockets and helps get more people into jobs by stimulating the economy.
Lower income taxes mean higher take-home pay and more money to spend in the economy.
We need a stronger economy to keep driving down unemployment and to underpin sustainable wage growth.
And why would Labor want to persist with a losing argument? Less than a month ago Australians voted in favour of our plan for income tax relief. They voted for aspiration and against the politics of envy, where Labor effectively sought to brand as the "top end of town" any worker earning more than $180,000 a year.
Labor has questioned why parliament should be asked to legislate now for tax relief starting in 2022 and 2024, given there would be at least one more election before then. That argument cuts both ways. With another election ahead, Labor has the opportunity to campaign again to convince voters to increase income taxes for those on the top marginal tax rate — if that remains ALP policy.
Our plan for lower income taxes is designed as a complete package to be implemented progressively across a seven-year period.
That is because we have several important priorities to accommodate at the same time.
We are committed to return the budget to surplus from 2019-20, and to keep it in the black across the whole medium term to 2029-30 and beyond.
We are committed to boosting funding for hospitals, schools, infrastructure and other essential services.
We have pledged to those on low and middle incomes that they will be given priority in tax relief.
And we are committed to simplifying our tax system and to address bracket creep, which is a brake on the economy and leaves households with less. Not dealing with bracket creep means more and more Australians get pushed into the higher income tax brackets merely through inflation.
The $180,000 income threshold for the top marginal tax rate has been in place since 2008. If it was indexed by the consumer price index since then, by 2024-25 the threshold would be above $254,000.
So our plan to deliver income tax relief for all is carefully calibrated and phased in across an extended period to ensure it is affordable within the budget and in the light of other important priorities.
We need to ensure that our tax policy settings provide the right incentive and reward for effort. That leads to stronger growth, which delivers the opportunity for low and middle-income earners to get ahead.
We have already legislated the abolition of the 37 per cent tax bracket, the lifting of the income threshold for the top marginal tax rate from $180,000 to $200,000 and adjustments to various other income thresholds.
Stages two and three of our income tax plan to be considered by parliament early next month will lift the top income threshold for the 19 per cent tax bracket to $45,000 and reduce the tax rate for those on incomes between $45,000 and $200,000 from 32.5 per cent to 30 per cent.
This means 94 per cent of workers will not pay more than 30 per cent tax on any of their income. This boosts the incentive and reward for effort while preserving a progressive tax system. Our top-income earners will continue to pay the same share of income tax revenue as they do now — about 60 per cent for our top 20 per cent of income earners.
The political reality is that across the board income tax relief — as important and necessary as it is for our economy — can only be secured as part of an overall package. To split this tax relief package — dealing with the lower income end only — would effectively mean giving up on tax relief for all other hardworking Australians.
If overall income tax relief cannot pass parliament as part of a package which prioritises lower income earners and was endorsed by Australians just a few weeks ago, when could it pass?
This opinion piece was published in The Australian on 14 June 2019.

To operate this service United Kingdom Loans receive commissions from Nouveau Finance Ltd. It is important to recognise that we are a broker not a lender.
A unique algorithm to match customers' requirements is submitted to a panel of lenders which is based on the application details, applicant preferences, and the lenders product, but does not include the commission paid by the lender to us. We therefore DO NOT charge our customers a fee for this service.
Unlike a short term loan the instalment loan product is usually a higher value loan typically £400 to £2000. The money is paid back over longer periods of between 3 and 18 months.
If you are over 18 years of age, are a UK resident, in employment and receive a regular wage paid into a UK bank account then you can apply for a loan. We cannot however guarantee you will be accepted.
You can apply 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If you are approved you will automatically be transferred to your individual lender's website to complete the process. You then sign your loan agreement online and receive the money direct from the lender into your bank account.
The rules and regulations that govern companies like ours state that we must show you the Annual Percentage Rate(APR) and these are calculated based on paying a fixed amount of interest annually. The shorter term loans are normally taken over a maximum term of 60 days and therefore the APR is not the best way to measure how competitive our rates are.
The loan repayments will be taken by direct debit on the same agreed date each month.
The length of time it takes to get paid will be based on the lender you have been matched with and the loan type you have applied for. If your bank does not support Faster Payments, in most cases the funds will be paid into your bank account the same day as approval.
Yes, when submitting your application you consent for our lenders to run a credit check.
Absolutely, many of our lenders will consider applicants with less than perfect credit histories.
It will be paid directly in to your bank account.
If you have any questions that weren't answered here please email email@example.com.
If you are struggling to repay the loan contact the lender in the first instance. They will be able to offer you support, help and advice around how to repay your debt. If you need the contact details of the lender you have entered into an agreement with contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
There are several, free debt and money management charities you can contact, including:

There are two ways that California parents may find themselves subject to the mandates of a child support plan: through their own work in the creation of a child support agreement or by order of a court. In either case a child support plan may carry the weight of judicial power once it is entered into the legal record and made binding on those a party to it. Once a plan has judicial authority it may be enforced through state-endorsed methods.
Child support enforcement tactics are important because they help ensure that children receive the financial assistance they deserve from their parents. Without enforcement options a parent may never feel compelled to send their monthly child support checks. The enforcement methods available through the state affect parents in different but important ways.
Certain enforcement tools have financial bearing on parents' well-being. The may involve intercepting tax returns or garnishing the parents' pay. Others may impact parents' rights and opportunities to work, such as the suspension of their driving privileges or the suspension of their professional licenses.
One of the most drastic enforcement tactics that may be used if a parent simply does not respond to other attempts is to issue a contempt of court warrant against the parent. When a person disobeys the terms of a judicial order they may be guilty of contempt and contempt charges can result in jail time for those who choose to avoid the responsibilities.
Child support enforcement in California can be tough on paying parents but is important to the children who depend on their parents for what they need. Getting child support paid can be difficult but individuals can utilize the help of family law attorneys to navigate the complicated world of having support payments paid.

Waiting is damn hard.
It's a season of life full of question marks, frustration, and the ultimate game of emotional tug-o-war.
It's not just seeing the fork in the road, it's standing there, smack dab in the middle, with your head ping-ponging from one side to the other, feet cemented to the ground. Waiting is ignoring the weighty sack strapped to your back, resisting its insistence to plop it down and get comfy. "Don't forget the sleeping bag and tent," it whispers. "You might as well make yourself at home and get used to the view."
There are many circumstances in life that require a delay in answers. It could be a medical diagnosis, adding a member to the family, a career change, a relationship on the rocks, or even the grieving process.
Waiting can feel so helpless. It's the place in life where more than anything we want to DO something. Craig Bruce (author) means well when he says "You usually have to wait for that which is worth waiting for." But you know what? While I'm waiting, I wanna punch that guy in the face. (Sorry, Bruce.)
These 3 tips might be a bit more constructive…
Waiting is one of the most difficult challenges we humans experience. It's NOT easy. But PRETENDING that it IS makes it that much more problematic. When we put up a front, we do a great disservice- to ourselves, to others, and to God. When we're not willing to sit in the weight (see what I did there? ;)) of our circumstances, we become inauthentic versions of ourselves. Brene Brown has this to say about vulnerability in her amazing book, Daring Greatly. "Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path." (Emphasis mine.)
Being authentic while waiting can open the door to courage and hope. And if we're being honest with one another, we need those things more than ever while enduring our emotional purgatory.
Getting real with our God is possibly the most powerful component to this waiting piece. He wants to know the REAL YOU, not a dressed-up version of you that talks sweet, proper, and calculated. Tell him that you want to punch Bruce! Cry out to Him in your frustration! Don't be afraid to show Him your flaws and faults. (Spoiler alert- He knows them already and loves you like crazy anyway.) When we stop putting on an act for our Savior, it brings us closer to Him. It's like any other relationship, right? The more free we are to be ourselves, the more loved and comforted we feel. Nothing helps the waiting game more than that.
Nothing can strip our identity more than staring at that giant fork in the road. Paralyzed, we have nothing else to do but to analyze and critique, plan and think. This internalizing may not seem as though it requires much energy, but it's the most exhausting process on the planet. The fatigue that comes from living in our heads can rob us of who we are. It can play mind games with our psyche and cause us to doubt our very core.
While you're waiting for your answer, be true to who you are. Do the things you love to do. Spend time with the people who KNOW and LOVE you. Focus on the activities that give you life, energy, and fill your soul.
Ultimately, give yourself some grace. We put so much pressure on ourselves in this phase of life to hurry up and have it all figured out. We judge ourselves when we're not on our A-game and guilt overcomes us when we're not living up to our own expectations. I love this quote by Stephanie Kline…
"Don't be so damn hard on yourself. Yeah, you screwed up. You're not perfect, fine. Learn from it. But don't punish yourself. Be kind to you, even when you screw up. You'll bounce back eventually. You'll make up for it."
"Being you" can mean allowing yourself a happy moment (or two or ten or twenty!); it can also mean allowing yourself to wallow. Be you and be KIND to you.
This is the hardest. It's so hard, in fact, you now probably want to punch ME.
I'm not suggesting that you paint pictures of rainbows and sprinkle fairy dust while prancing, but I do want you to take a deep breath.
Think back on a time in your past when you were told to WAIT. Recall how that situation resolved. It may not have turned out the way you wanted, but I am almost certain it had at least some positive outcomes. Perhaps it was even better than you hoped for? At the very least, you came out of that circumstance a stronger, wiser, and better person.
This is a great time to talk to friends and family who have seen hard times and made it through the other side. Let their testimonies bring you life and cling to the expectancy that someday your story will lift others up and bring them hope.
"I will declare your righteousness and your salvation every day, though I do not fully understand what the outcome will be." (Psalm 71:15)
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
Certainly these aren't the only things to do while you're waiting. If this wasn't enough of a "To Do" list for you, here are a few other valuable action steps to take…
- Dig into the Bible
- Put nutritious food in your body
- Incorporate intentional exercise into each day
- Journal your thoughts and feelings
- Keep an open mind
- Go to counseling
- Talk to a trusted friend
- Play worship/positive music in your home and in your car
- Laugh as much as possible
- Read for education and for leisure
- Practice deep breathing exercises
- Talk to Jesus all day
- Make sleep a priority
Friends, there is no right or wrong way to wait. I simply want to empower you to be as authentic as possible and to be kind to yourself along the way. Above all, take heart knowing that there is a good God who adores you and has amazing plans for your future.
Also, I love you and would be honored to pray for you.
Live Life on Purpose,

Buying an investment property can be a great way to add an extra source of income that can help you secure your financial future. Find out alternative ways to finance your investment property.
This week, we'd like to share a guest blog post about financing your real estate investment written by Accuplan Benefits Services.
Buying an investment property can be a great way to add an extra source of income that can help you secure your financial future. The rent checks that you receive each month can help you pay your student loans or give you extra money to put towards your retirement or other savings accounts. While there are many benefits to buying an income property, it may be difficult to get money from a bank or traditional lender, or maybe you just aren't interested in going the traditional route. So, what are some alternative options worth looking at?
Peer-to-Peer Lending
Peer-to-peer lending involves one individual who needs a loan and another individual or group of individuals who actually lend the money. In most cases, you are actually paying back the principal and interest to someone who may be trying to invest in real estate by funding your own investment. Interest rates may be comparable to or slightly higher than traditional mortgage rates for those with good credit and comparable to personal loans for those with average credit.
Self-Directed IRAs
A self-directed IRA allows you to essentially be the custodian of your own retirement account. It means that you get to choose what you invest in with only a few limits placed on you by the IRS (no antiques, collectibles, certain types of metal, etc.). If you want to invest in a rental property or even invest in a property to flip, you can do so with funds from your IRA, that you control. This may be the best option for those who are using real estate income to save for their retirement and don't need or want the profits today. If you have a self-directed 401K, you may be able to take out a loan for up to $50,000 to fund your next purchase, and interest rates on 401K loans can be as little as 2 percent.
Borrow From Hard Money Lenders
This may be the most expensive option available to those looking to finance the purchase of an investment property. However, it is also the loan with the shortest repayment term. Your goal is to find a property that is priced below market value, fix it and then rent or sell it as soon as possible.
If you decide to sell the property, you use the profits to repay your hard money lender and hopefully still have money left over for yourself. If you plan on renting the property, you get a mortgage after you fix it up and use the proceeds from the mortgage to pay the lender at the home's appraised value after it has been rehabbed.It is important that you repay your hard money as soon as possible as interest is charged daily. Ideally, you will have the loan repaid within 30-60 days. While this puts you on a relatively strict timetable, it may be what you need to stay focused and finish your home rehab or flip project. Investing in real estate can offer returns that are higher than those of stocks or bonds.
However, you may have to get creative when it comes to finding money to make those purchases. Fortunately, there are a variety of individual or institutional investors who are willing to step in and make sure you have the money you need to buy the property that you want.
This article was brought to you by Accuplan Benefits Services, an IRA administrator specializing in helping you invest outside the stock market, and into real estate, precious metals, or joint ventures, all with your IRA or 401K.

In this Web-exclusive piece, these five agency innovators (click here for full profiles) share additional thoughts on innovation and its importance in the PR industry.
Agency Innovators
Todd Defren,principal, Shift Communications
Judith Harrison, VP of HR for Constituency Management Group
Paul Rand, president and CEO, Zocalo Group
Sabrina Horn, president, The Horn Group
Peter Verrengia, president and senior partner, Communications Consulting Worldwide, Fleishman-Hillard
PRWeek: What companies do you think really demonstrate innovation from a communications standpoint? Why?
Todd Defren: This isn't because they don't exist, but I don't really have any examples off the top of my head. I see so many examples of missed opportunities that I focus on because, in my role, part of my job is to educate both clients and staff about how things could be done better.
This is an example of a missed opportunity: if you do a search on BMW, in the top Google search results is the Autoblog –which is a pretty well-read and influential blog. There is a forum on the Auto Blog just for people who want to talk about just BMWs, and they talk about BMWs every single day. For every 15 comments there are probably 1500 readers – just lurking and not posting. What a missed opportunity for BMW who had no one there to discuss, interact, and participate with these people who are clearly advocates for the brand. There are millions of examples where companies are missing that kind of opportunity.
Judith Harrison: The American Legacy Foundation has impressed me with its ability to connect with its target audience through its Truth campaign to prevent youth smoking. Their use of advertising, grassroots, and online marketing communicates with the youth audience in pitch-perfect tone and gives them the opportunity to own and spread the message. It has been cited repeatedly by young people I've interviewed as a great example of communications work.
Sabrina Horn: One is RightMedia – who is still a client of ours – but we're not doing very much work for them because they were bought by Yahoo. The second example is a venture capital firm, which traditionally you think is a more conservative, traditional entity. They are here in New York called Union Square Ventures. And they invest in predominantly Internet companies, and their Web site is a blog site. They actually advise their portfolio companies that they've invested in to not do any traditional PR at all – unless there is an acquisition and an attorney makes them write a press release. They recommend that all their portfolio companies do their marketing in the blogosphere and the Internet – through any medium other than traditional PR. That's really because they think that's the way things are going.
Paul Rand: One of the companies would be [Zocalo client] Beam Global Spirits and Wine. They've actually taken on a mission to be a company of brands people talk about. That they're actively going out of their way to go forward with a statement like that is compelling, and it's shaping the way the entire company goes to market. But it's not just about a marketing campaign. It's about the complete and total experience a consumer has with the Beam brands.
Peter Verrengia: I think that the companies that are most innovative today are the ones that are addressing very new territory. Their approach to communications isn't just promotional. They're describing a need and how they fit that need.
In biotech, in Web 2.0 companies, in a number of technology companies, there's a constant need to define the problem you're solving in concrete terms and then to find a solution. Sometimes the most innovative companies are not the most clever at packaging and entertaining. The innovation is helping people understand complex issues like global warming or why you should save for retirement, [etc].
So I think sometimes it's more categories than companies because some of the most complicated subjects require the most innovative approaches in order to stimulate the market.
PRWeek: What do you see as the challenges for the PR industry to be innovative? Is there something in particular that's holding it back?
Defren: I wouldn't want to give the PR industry no credit for not being innovative. I'd like to think our agency is a little more innovative than most, but a lot of guys and gals are embracing this as much as they can. I think one of the bigger challenges I've identified is it's tough for anyone who's been at a PR firm for any more than three years, even, to think about this as an opportunity to engage with anyone but the mainstream media.
Harrison: Forward-thinking agencies are embracing the challenges of innovation. We're adapting to consumer connectivity, the fragmenting of audiences, the multiplication of communications platforms, the growth of online influentials, and the atomization of media to help our clients thrive in an era of rapid change and unprecedented stakeholder demand for transparency and choice.
Horn: Change is hard. It is risky to bring on-board services, people, and new business models and to try and integrate it into an existing structure to create a new company, to evolve the business. It's risky because some clients may not want that. Sometimes it is easier to stick with what you have, but more and more I think that is a losing proposition – especially in the tech sector. Our clients love to know that they can get most of their marketing communications needs done with one agency rather than having to go to three or four of them. It may take you awhile to earn their trust. They may start out with PR, and then say, "Maybe you can refresh our Web site," and then that leads to a redesign. And then that leads to maybe an advertising campaign. It's not like they are going to sign up for everything right away.
Rand: This may or may not be a popular answer: There's no denying that TV commercials are losing their effectiveness, so ad agencies and other marketers are being forced to change, forced to find different revenue streams. [Conversely], in today's market, many PR agencies are finding that the market is coming to them — so they think they're doing everything right. But like ad agencies, if PR agencies don't evolve, they'll find that the market has moved beyond them.
Verrengia: One challenge is the definition of our role both inside the industry and by people who are users of PR services who are outside our industry. Sometimes because of the lack of the ability to measure our impact on the bottom line, we're treated as optional or something nice to have. That's a huge challenge, but one we're overcoming as the need for communications to affect business outcomes grows.
The second challenge is the increased demand for speed and transparency in the information that organizations provide both to their employees and outside audiences. This creates friction between people who manage risk in organizations and people who are trying to drive opportunity. PR has always operated at that intersection, but today that demand is higher and we have to make a more effective stronger case for our recommendations.
Third, a lot of PR people don't necessarily have the background or the mindset to allow themselves to take part in a management-level discussion that treats communications opportunities as business decisions. This is something that anyone can learn to do with some effort. It's really a question of seeing yourself as part of the business of an organization, not as a discipline that stands one step removed from the center of what drives organization results. [T]hat's an attitude problem and that's an experience problem.
PRWeek: Who do you consider to be innovative in the PR agency world? Why?
Defren: Edelman. But that's also the firm I look to the most for screwing things up. When I recently gave a presentation to my staff and I talked about some of the biggest faux paux in blogger relations so far – every single one was an Edelman one. And yet you need to give them credit: the reason they are screwing up so much is because they are trying so much. And I respect that more than I worry about the bungles because they'll get it right – they're smart people. I'd rather screw up like an Edelman and get better rather than keep taking the safe approach.
Horn: I think a lot of agencies are talking about doing this but aren't really doing it yet. And it's not easy – how do you add those capabilities? Do you buy another firm? Do you hire a couple of people and then grow a function organically? How do you integrate those new services with public relations and have integrated account teams? How do you train those people? We've been doing it now for three, going on four years. As a medium-sized firm, I don't know of any other agency that is doing what we're doing at the level that we are. That said, I know there are several larger agencies – but I don't know what the really have if you peel back the onion. But I know there are definitely those capabilities in larger agencies like Fleishman, or I presume within Edelman. I just don't know what they are so I'm not in a position to admire them. Like I said, I still think it's really early and whenever I go to these conferences or PR forums everybody is talking about it but they're not necessarily doing it.
Rand: Everybody has the potential of being an innovator. You just have to take the time to step back from the day-to-day grind and think about what's not being done as well as it could be.
Specifically, Ray Kotcher, CEO at Ketchum. He's very embracing of change, aggressively encourages innovation. He's made a formal corporate commitment to harness change.
Other than Ketchum, Waggener Edstrom is working hard at innovation. And John Bell [head of the global 360° digital influence team] at Ogilvy PR is bringing that organization forward, as is Idil Cakim [VP interactive media] at GolinHarris … Innovative efforts tend to focus in on a handful of people that pull the rest of the organization along.
Verrengia: Really it's the problems that stimulate innovation. If you look at companies that are in mobile marketing that are creating virtual communities, those are innovations that are forcing PR into new relationships with audiences. Although I think there are people who are really skillful in the PR world, I think the innovations that are affecting it most are happening outside of [the industry].

Odisha Sun Times Bureau
Cuttack, Aug 29:
Finally, the Archaeological Society of India (ASI) has admitted that not much progress has been made in the repair of the main structure of the Jagamohana, the prayer hall adjoining the sanctum sanctorum of Sri Jagannath temple, the 12th-century shrine in Odisha's holy town Puri.
The fact came to light from an affidavit submitted by the ASI in the Orissa High Court in connection with a case pertaining to repair of the fragile Jagamohana, revealed High Court sources.
Sources said the ASI has stated in the affidavit that while repair work of pillars of the main structure of the Jagamohana has been completed to some extent, the Sri Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) has been asked to provide required materials for repair of other pillars.
Further, the ASI has stated that it was yet to receive designs for some conservation work from IIT-Madras, the sources added.
The High Court has directed the SJTA, Puri Collector and the petitioner to apprise it through an affidavit whether the work completed so far was satisfactory or not and what other works were needed to be done.
On the other hand, the High Court has directed the ASI to submit an affidavit by when repair work would be completed.
The court has fixed September 14 as the next date of hearing on the matter.

Chipperfield In The Second World War – Pillbox
The alterations to the Dunny Lane road junction opposite Tower Hill Garage have revealed one of Chipperfield's best kept secrets. The removal of the hedge on the corner has exposed the WW2 pillbox which is now better camouflaged by the grass growing on the top of its once stark concrete roof than it was when built.
A network of 28,000 pillboxes of various sizes and designs was constructed at strategic sites in 1940 as part of Britain's defences against the threatened invasion by Germany. It is estimated that fewer than 6,000 exist today, so we have a national treasure.
A thickness of 30cms (12 inches) was the accepted minimum bulletproof standard for the concrete shell structure of this type of pillbox. The apertures, or embrasures, at the front of the pillbox were suitable for the firing of rifles or light machine guns.
The Home Guard regularly practised the use of firearms in the field behind Old Barn Cottage and there were soldiers camped in the woods on the Common, so there were trained men available to hold the fort in the pillbox.
Peter Dormer of Tower Hill, who played in the pillbox in the post war years, thinks that the entrance was at the back. Ron Whitbread, who walked past it every day on his way to and from the village school, cannot recall ever seeing it in use. Even when he was an Army Cadet and taking messages from the Home Guard to the ARP hut in Dunny Lane layby, there was never anyone in the pillbox.
So, like the circular concrete anti-tank traps piled up near 14 Dunny Lane, the pillbox
was there as a precautionary measure but fortunately never had to be used for real.

Workout with your dad this holiday at the 6th annual "Fit Fathers Day Celebration" in Downtown Silver Spring. Kristen gets a preview of the event with Founder/Nutrition & Fitness Technician Kimatni Rawlins and Pat Robinson of Pat The Roc Skills Academy. For more information about the event visit www.FitFathersDay.com
WUSA9: Start the Day in a Healthy Way at Fit Fathers Day
Fit Fathers Open Face Bean Tacos
Mother Earth needs love, respect and care to sustain vitality so let's begin by preparing meals that nourish and do not harm either her or us. For Meatless Monday we have prepared these ultra-fulfilling Open Face Bean Tacos using Gardein Beefless Ground crumbles. Trust us, you will want more after downing the first because this meal is so scrumptious.
Serves 5 with a 40-minute prep and cook time
- 1 pack of Gardein Beefless Ground
- ¼ onion
- ½ bell pepper (red, orange, yellow)
- 1 can of white cannellini beans
- ½ can of black beans
- Thyme, garlic salt
- ½ cup butternut squash
- ½ can of fire roasted crushed tomatoes
- ½ can of tomato sauce
- Choice of taco sauce
- 1 pack of artisan organic corn tortillas
- 3/4 cup of shredded cabbage
- 1 avocado
Start by mashing the white cannellini beans and season with thyme and garlic salt. Afterwards put to the side in a bowl. Next, sauté the butternut squash with the tomato sauce and crushed fire roasted tomatoes for 10 minutes. Simultaneously in another pan mix and cook (low heat) the Gardein Beefless Ground crumbles, black beans and diced onions for 10 minutes. Add taco seasoning and garlic salt. This will be the main filling for your open face tacos.
Then sauté the cabbage and peppers (cut in this strips). Warm the tortillas and spread with the mashed cannellini beans and then layer with the Gardein mixture. Lastly, top with the cabbage and peppers. Serve the avocado slices either on the side or also on top. Add your favorite taco sauce of choice and dig in!
Fit Fathers Mandarin Orange Chick'n Stir Fry
In honor of Earth Day and Meatless Monday we have prepared a special Fit Fathers stir fry using Gardein's Asian-inspired Crispy Chick'n Mandarin Orange pieces. The kids were in love with the new dish and the dads were equally elated to have prepared the simple but tasty vegan meal.
Serves 4 with a 20-minute prep and cook time
- 1 pack of Garden's Crispy Chick'n Mandarin Orange
- Handful of bean sprouts
- ¼ onion
- ½ bell pepper
- Tamari soy sauce
- 1 pack of riced cauliflower blend
Sauté the bean sprouts, peppers and onions with a few splashes of water and tamari soy sauce for 5 minutes. Add the mandarin chick'n and sauce packet to the veggie stir fry and continue cooking for 8 minutes. In a separate pan sauté the cauliflower rice for 5 minutes (we use a blend with sweet potatoes and kale from Cascadian Farm) while sprinkling with your season of choice. Lastly, combine the rice to the mandarin chick'n stir fry and serve with a few slices of avocado.
Fit Fathers "WONDER PARK" Power Lunch
In honor of Paramount's upcoming animation movie dubbed WONDER PARK, Fit Fathers has prepared the perfect power lunch if you were WONDERing what to pack your kids for an adventurous day. So, let us show you how to create lunch in a pinch!
Of course every child loves a classic bean burrito since they are filling and easy to hold and eat. Yet, we always ascertain that our recipe iterations are as healthy as possible to keep the young ones energized and alert.
The burrito features a whole grain wrap, organic black beans, brown rice, organic lettuce and tomatoes, a few onions and avocado slices. They will also want a sugar fix while running around the park so we blended a fruit smoothie to keep their clock ticking with natural sugars from a banana, blueberry, strawberry, mango and ice mix. Snacks include a trail mix for healthy fats, peanut butter crackers and one whole banana if they have room left. Water is to keep them hydrated and cool.
Check out the new trailer for Wonder Park HERE! and don't miss it in theatres March 15. Enjoy the grub!
Simple Avocado Toast by Fit Fathers
Try our simple, tasty and healthy lunch after an hour of cardio and strength training. Yes, of course it's vegan. We layered toasted double fiber whole grain bread with traditional hummus, organic avocados and slightly warmed organic tomatoes. The heat within the tomatoes helps release the antioxidant lycopene which in turn protects against prostate cancer in men. Season with a dash of black pepper, garlic powder and Himalayan pink salt.
The meal was served with a Japanese sweet potato and a medley of sautéed collard greens, spinach, kale, beets, onions and Shiitake mushrooms. So, this recipe covers each macronutrient including healthy fats, complex cards and plant-based proteins. Eat clean and enjoy!
Fit Fathers Rice, Beans & Spinach Medley
Here is one of Fit Fathers' simple but nutritional meals whipped up for lunch after today's cardio burn. Basically, we combined kidney beans, spinach and brown rice in a pan of light water and sautéed the ingredients (ten minutes) together with onions, flaxseeds and various seasonings including turmeric, garlic powder, nutritional yeast and vegit. Serve over toasted Ezekiel sprouted bread with sliced avocados and pair with steamed Japanese sweet potatoes to complete the mix of plant-based protein, complex carbs and healthy fats including the important omega 3.
Dully note to use canned low sodium kidney beans if you don't have time to soak and cook dried beans. Also, we keep a pot of steamed brown rice laying around in the rice cooker for impromptu meal ideas. Enjoy!
Dairy Does the Body Wrong
Please remember that dairy is not a health food people. It's also the byproduct of animal suffrage. Eat clean and stay compassionate.
Fit Fathers Fall Butternut Squash and Kale Soup
Eating clean is our daily theme. So before a 4-mile run we prepared this Fall Butternut Squash and Kale Soup and an organic Kale Salad with seasoned tofu chunks. The soup requires kale, potatoes, onions and butternut squash which you first sauté and season in a pot. Then add water and simmer until soft. Next pour the contents into your Vitamix for blending. Pour back into the pot and continue seasoning to your liking. There's nothing like healing foods that energize!
5 Reasons To Power Up With Plant-Based-Proteins
Around the world, most traditional diets are rooted in healthy plant-based meals. Just take a look at the Oldways Mediterranean, African, Asian, and Latin American Pyramids—all of them feature fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and legumes as their foundation. Yet today, plant-forward meals can raise a common concern among diners: is it possible to get enough protein on your plate without meat? The answer is a resounding yes!
The Kids Cook Monday: Cannellini Bean Veggie Meatballs
These meatless balls pair perfectly with pasta and are a fun alternative to regular meatballs. Cannellini beans and walnuts provide protein while shallots, garlic and fresh herbs pack in tons of flavor. This recipe comes to us from Maria of Hälsa Nutrition.
Serves 4-5
Cooking Tip of the Week: Keeping your hands wet will help to keep the veggie ball mixture from sticking to them. Try having a bowl of water nearby you can dip your hands into as needed! [Read more…]

Course ObjectiveImprove knowledge of the historical development of democracy and of
democratization in history. Improve understanding of differences between
classic, early modern and modern understandings of democracy.
Being able to critically reflect on normative thinking in academic and
political debates.
Being able to formulate an independent opinion on historical and
issues related to democracy.
Course ContentSince the end of the eighteenth century 'democracy' slowly but steadily
has become more popular. Democracy as a type of government and the word
'democracy' itself has by leaps and bounds found acceptance in many
parts of the world. Democracy has become the standard or the rule, while
other modes of government are considered deviations or exceptions.
How and why has this evolution occurred in Europe and in other parts of
the world? What sorts of changes or continuities can during this
prolonged evolution be discerned in the concept of 'democracy', and how
can we critically assess the dominant position of democracy? Answers to
these questions will be discussed by giving an overview of the
historical development of democracy since the time of the Athenian
democracy, the 'Atlantic Revolutions' of around 1800, and the rise, fall
and rise of democracy in the era around the World Wars. The history of
democracy will
be related to theories about democracy
and democratization. The main emphasis will be on the Western and
European history of democracy but guest lecturers will also discuss the
development of democracy from a global perspective.
Teaching MethodsLectures and discussion.
Method of AssessmentMidterm (25%) and final exam (75%).
Entry RequirementsFirst year completed.

Sharing information between government agencies about young people is essential to helping the agencies identify young people who are at risk of coming on to a benefit or remaining on a benefit long-term.
Although the number of new youth entrants to benefit each year is low, the most recent actuarial valuation shows that they account for a significant proportion of benefit liability over time. In fact, more than 70 per cent of the forward liability is in respect of people who first received a benefit before the age of 20. This indicates that many of these young people remain vulnerable to benefit dependency their whole lives.
Youth Service currently gets school leaver information from the Ministry of Education. They will soon get information from the Department of Corrections. This will help them identify young people who are at risk of coming on to a benefit or remaining on a benefit long-term.
The Youth Service is expanding to include 18 and 19 year olds. The current information sharing arrangements will need to adapt to this change.
Draft Approved Information Sharing Agreement (Word 89.25KB)
The Ministry is inviting submissions on the new information sharing agreement. We are considering views about the suitability of the information sharing agreement from:
The deadline for submissions is 6 May 2016.
Please send your submission to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you can't email it to us, you can mail a hard copy to:

Lady Gaga Steps Out In Bejewelled Body Suit.
She's known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to her outfit choices. But Lady Gaga appears to be running out of ideas on how to hit headlines with her ensembles, and instead took inspiration from another pop princess as she headed out after the American Music Awards on Sunday night. Gaga appeared to have taken some tips from Britney Spears' Toxic video as she sported a revealing, nude, bejewelled bodysuit to continue her celebrations after the ceremony at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.

And since then, my life has not been the same.The Nuts & Bolts Rally was founded by Pieter Andersen from Malmesbury. The Rally is an attempt to explore some of the 1 625 560km of unpaved roads on our beautiful continent whilst metaphorically illustrating the fight against cancer and how necessary a healthy, unwavering support system is.A total of 14 cars took part in the first event in 2014.Soaring popularityOver the last three years the rally has become so popular and successful that the organiser was forced to limit entries to a maximum of 100 people per trip.In June 2015, my friend Ben Wiggins and I purchased a 1984 Toyota Cressida with the intention of taking part in the 4th Nuts & Bolts Rally, from September 25-27. We managed to convince our wives that this was a splendid idea and, since the car cost us only R7200, they even agreed to join us on the trip.Essentially, it was all for a good cause. The Nuts & Bolts Rally is an initiative that raises money, amongst others, for the Love your Nuts project on testicular cancer awareness.We started by making a list of the repairs and improvements we wanted to do to the car, and we also jotted down the names of potential sponsors for this adventure of ours. On closer inspection of the car, by now nicknamed HMS (Her Majesty's Ship) Vaalkatryn, we realised that we might have bitten off a bit more than what we could chew. Assessing the damageThe damage and wear and tear caused to Vaalkatryn by its previous seven or so owners left us with a lot to do in a short time. Again we made a list this time of friends with the knowledge and skills to help us with the work that needed to be done. Of course they could not charge us for the work they were to do, as this was all for a good cause, remember? At this stage, both Ben and I had become pretty good negotiators/beggars.As the big day drew closer, the picture of the huge challenge we had created for ourselves, became a lot clearer. We spent long hours on the Vaalkatryn to get her as ready as can be for her maiden N&B voyage. Our typical evenings would by now, include a list of the things to do that evening, as well as a braai in the driveway, next to Vaalkatryn.At this time, the other competitors were doing very much the same as us, and the regular updates and pictures on the rally's WhatsApp group laid a foundation of excitement that I hadn't experienced for a very long time. We were counting the days, and the pressure we felt to get her to the starting line kept us awake for long hours.Before we knew it Saturday September 25th had arrived and we set off for Windmeul Kelder in Agter-Paarl, with a car heavily loaded with all the goods and consumables that our wives thought we needed for the four-day road trip. When we arrived at the start, most of the other teams were already there. The energy and anticipation felt were just about electrifying and overwhelming. Just before the start all the competitors got together for a group photo and a quick briefing and, after all the preparations, we were finally part of a convoy heading for Ceres via the Bainskloof Pass. Our toughness testedIn Ceres we filled up with fuel and headed to the R355 towards the De Mond campsite, where we were to spend the first night. As we got to the first gravel road, most of the teams stopped at a roadside picnic spot, for the first of the many roadside braais of the trip. The rest of the route was completed without any major incident, and this paved the way for the roadtrip of a lifetime. Tents were pitched at De Mond where, once again, everyone partook in a braai made with meat supplied by the organiser.Early the next morning and with very little sleep, all the teams got ready for possibly, the hardest day of the event. There was quiet anticipation in the air.The teams knew that it was the day we had to cross the Tankwa to Sutherland and conquer the mighty Ouberg Pass.We stopped on route at the Africa Burn tent site for a quick braai, after which everyone set off onto one of the toughest gravel roads for old cars. Just outside the Africa Burn site we had our first major breakdown, when an oil pipe on the gearbox burst. With assistance from Riaan van Wyk and Ruhan Fourie (Team R&R who was the eventual overall winner) in an immaculately restored Datsun 280zx, we got on the way again.About 20kms further down this unforgiving road, another one of the gearbox pipes burst, leaving us with no spare gearbox oil. Once again Team R&R came to the rescue, while some of the other teams went for a skinny-dip at a farm dam next to our unfortunate Vaalkatryn.We managed to get some oil from one of the rangers at the Tankwa Karoo National Park, but unfortunately he only had about half a litre of oil, so we decided to fill the gearbox with ordinary engine oil. Problems with all the carsAnyone that knows a little about cars will know that this is not the right thing to do, especially when you want to drive over the mighty Ouberg Pass with a 30 year-old automatic car that has seen better days.At the foot of the pass we caught up with some of the other crews that had encountered problems on their way up this majestic piece of landscape, used for years to trek livestock to lower lying areas, during the harsh Karoo winters. Approximately one third up the pass, the unavoidable happened, and our gearbox started slipping due to the foreign fluids we had fed it.Some of the other teams had also stopped along the same stretch of road with a variety of problems, and one of the biggest team efforts since the Great Trek, took shape right there on the Roggeveld mountains. It literally felt as if we were trekking 'barefoot' over the Drakensberg.All the teams pulled together now, to get all the cars to the other end of this major obstacle. Approximately three hours after we arrived at the foot of the pass we reached the top of this 23km brute, with a huge amount of blood, sweat and maybe even some tears spilt on our trail. What a feeling, when we pulled into the Verlatenkloof campsite for a very welcome potjiekos meal, prepared on a fire of course, by the owners Willie and Alta de Lange.It was here that the organiser, Pieter Andersen, told us of something he saw on this trip for the first time in his life: an enormous hearse piloted by Bokkie Swart and Erich Herbst coming up the Ouberg Pass, with guns blazing. In the early hours of the morning with tired bodies, we got to bed, but not before everyone had shared their version of the day's adventures. Soaking up the sceneryIn the morning, after a quick refill of the right fluids and fuel for HMS Vaalkatryn, we left Sutherland behind in the direction of Laingsburg, through the Moordenaars Karoo, a less known but beautiful part of the Karoo. This section of the rally was probably included for the competitors to recover from the previous days' battles.Well, as we settled in for the scenic drive on this winding road, we heard a loud bang followed by a very loud scraping noise coming from Vaalkatryn's underbelly. Team R&R had taken up their regular place behind us and saw it happen. By the expressions on their faces as we stopped, we knew that this was a serious one!HMS Vaalkatryn decided to get rid of her fuel tank, just filled to the brim with fuel, dumping it unceremoniously on the hard Karoo gravel road. A plan had to be made and, two hours later, we set off again with the fuel tank fastened to the spare wheel and the underside of the boot with tie straps. About 10km down the road we were welcomed by one of the other teams that had gone ahead to start a fire for yet another roadside braai; the best Karoo lamb on an open fire, in the heart of the Karoo…Priceless! Due to the loss of time we missed one of the other highlights of the event: most of the cars had fallen in behind the big hearse, driving slowly in the style of a funeral procession, through the town of Laingsburg, continuing then on towards Warmwaterberg Spa near Barrydale, for the night break. We arrived at the spa at 23h30 only to find the other teams very surprised to see us, having heard of our earlier troubles during the day. A fire was lit for a late supper and we pitched our tents for a well-deserved rest. Home stretchThe final day of the event broke with a nice fresh cold front and greeted us with much needed rain in the area. The remaining teams that were still in the event had a scrumptious, extended breakfast at Diesel and Crème in Barrydale, where we all reflected on the events of the past 3 days. By now this felt like a big family reunion, and I realised how friendships develop as you go through tough times together and help each other towards a common goal.We all set off on the way to our final destination, the Matroosberg Lodge, through the town of Touwsriver. Another beautiful road with yet another roadside braai on a dry river bed followed. The route was driven without major incident and for a change; Team R&R could also enjoy the journey without having to help us along the way.The day ended with a tremendous prize-giving function against the backdrop of the snow-covered Matroosberg range. The festivities continued into the early hours of the morning in the comfort and quietness of the snow falling on all the spent yet victorious vehicles. It is with great pride and a new-found emotion that I reflect on an event that made me realise what life is all about. The saying that a stranger is a friend that you haven't yet met springs to mind and I think of all the wonderful people we met on this epic event, all in the name of charity.

Ronald Page, a retired GM worker living in the Detroit area, took advantage of one hell of a computer glitch, after happening upon a cash machine that allowed him to make unlimited cash withdrawals.
How did he choose to handle the situation? He loaded up his pockets and went on a multi-casino gambling bender. Unfortunately for him, Mr. Page's luck ran out at the ATM; he lost all £1 million to the house.
Convicted of theft of bank funds totalling £1 million, Mr. Page now awaits sentencing scheduled for June 27. Local 10 reports that prosecutors have recommended a 15-month prison sentence because they believe "Page had a lapse of judgment and [Bank of America] the bank was at fault for allowing this to happen."
This seems rather lenient. The bank may have been at fault for its glitchy system, but Mr. Page made the choice to withdraw such a large sum of money. This may be a generalisation, but I'm going to wager a person knows whether they have £1 million in the bank, or whether they're withdrawing funds that do not actually exist.
He had an opportunity to commit a crime (theft of bank funds) and he took it. Why oh why is the prosecution laying blame on the bank's glitch?
I'm opening this up to the Court of Public Opinion. Who's at fault here? Is Mr. Page getting off easy? Discuss... [BusinessInsider via Local 10]

There are numerous kinds of landlord insurances on offer, which allow for protection of different kinds of buildings, and properties that are tied up in different kinds of tenancy agreements. Given that all properties and tenancy agreements are different, landlord insurances need to vary just as much. This is primarily because some landlords would otherwise have to be excessive amounts of cash for cover that isn't even required.
Usually, you will find a basic or 'standard' form of cover on offer from insurers. This standard option will be the simplest form of insurance, in comparison to the other kinds of cover that they have on offer. One particular benefit of choosing this kind of insurance is that the monthly payments aren't exactly massive, however, it must be considered that it won't always provide the best landlord insurance cover. This cover is likely only beneficial to those who have a tenancy agreement which involves the tenant taking more responsibility than is usual.
However, basic landlord insurance usually does cover the basics. Often it will include damage to fixtures and fittings that can easily become damaged during tenancy. If the property isn't furnished, then this is a good option too – as a basic insurance option will usually not offer you much cover for furnishings.
As well as this, more comprehensive kinds of cover will become available, like liability cover. Liability cover is a specialist form of insurance that allows you to be covered for any legal battles that may arrive, or legal obligations placed on you by your tenants.
By taking out a more comprehensive landlord cover, you will be ensuring that you will not experience huge financial difficulty in the future. It will essentially mean that risk is near non-existent. Make your decision wisely, with reference to landlord insurances. It could have a huge impact on your business in the future.

Discussion in 'General football forum' started by urban genie, 3 Sep 2019.
I'd prefer a Möbius strip, never liked beaches but enjoy heated discussions on postcolonialism.
When we are ignorant, we just rely on Murdoch media-driven lies and stereotypes.
Again you're talking complete shite.
Why do you think you know better about what women HAVE to wear in Qatar than someone that's lived here, with their wife, for seven years? You're on a hiding to nothing.
Out of interest because I have never been to Qatar , are they more tolerant to non Qataries than to thier own citizens ?
Their citizens are treated like Demi-Gods. There's only about 1/4m of them in a country where just shy of 3m people live.
They don't pay tax, don't pay gas, water or electric. Don't have to make mortgage payments of properties they buy to let out when it's unoccupied (helps keep rental prices high as you can buy 20 apartments and keep them all empty if you want). They have to be 51% equity holders in all businesses.
But they aren't allowed alcohol licenses to buy booze for their own home although they can drink in licensed establishments so long as they're not in national dress.
Cheers for that , I look forward to going to the world cup . The problem with how we see places is down to our media and piss poor understanding of other cultures/ beliefs
I actually looked up a couple of visitor websites to Qatar and they said most beaches are owned by the hotels and there you can go and wear a bikini. But on the public beaches ie not owned by the hotels you cannot.
They also said you shouldn't be showing your shoulders in public. Inside a night club is fine.
I checked 3 traveller sites who all said the same thing.
Trust me, they're wrong. These sites spout the same nonsense about the UAE.
I wish there was a dress code in the UK. Fucking sick off fat bastard, well any bloke who thinks it right to have no shirt on in bars or pubs. Sweaty tossers. Oh look at Mi body I have a tattoo. Fuck off you neanderthal chimp.
I plan to go to the Qatar World Cup. I've never been to one before and a bit of winter sun will be an added bonus
