Hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing and I wish I'd had a crystal ball on my trip to South Africa last summer; instead I was left feeling cheated following a conversation I had at a market stall.
You see, I'd gone to Victoria Street Market on a day trip to Durban to browse the fine wares, and I came across some beaded food nets; you know, the nets you put over dishes to keep the flies off.
They're a practical item and nicely made, and something that you can take home as gifts for family and friends.
I started the haggling process after being told that each net was r40 (just over £2) and asked the woman if I bought five of them, could I pay r100 (about r20 each – r100 in total – just over £5).
The haggle
She agreed and I was a happy customer. Then her boss came over and started to shout "No, no. That's not the price!"
There were two problems with this.
1. I only had r120 in my purse.
2. A few days earlier, I had actually picked up a huge table net for r21, so I was aware of the mark up.
Actually, there was the third problem of course – a deal is a deal and they shouldn't have retracted it in the first place.
But instead of re-haggling, I decided to walk away, hoping that they might just 'call me back' as most seem to do. They never did – and I just kept walking.
Playing on my mind
For days later, I regretted doing that. It played on my mind quite a lot – especially as it was nearing the end of the holiday and I still hadn't purchased gifts.
What eventually happened was that I couldn't find the nets anywhere I was staying (Scottburgh) and I ended up buying them from the airport on the way home – for five times the price!
So that's just one of my big holiday regrets – and it appears we all have them – from choosing a destination that was too 'British' and travelling with the in-laws, to failing to 'switch off' from work according to one report.
We all have holiday regrets
The survey (of 2,000 adults) revealed that more than a third have returned from a break abroad only to feel disappointment at what they did or didn't do.
For 14% of people the biggest reason for remorse was their own bad behaviour, while 24% regretted the location of their holiday.
Being too lazy to leave the resort to sightsee, sticking to known foods rather than trying local cuisine and being too scared to experiment with different activities also leaves Brits feeling dissatisfied with their overall experience.
Other holiday regrets include choosing a destination where there was literally nothing to do, and some wish they hadn't booked the cheapest hotel as they found they were stuck in the middle of nowhere.
As in my example, opting NOT to buy a souvenir and then wishing you had, along with forgetting to wear sun cream and drinking alcohol to excess were other reasons for disappointment.
Incredibly, 22% of those polled don't bother getting travel insurance when going on holiday and 61% don't think to get their vaccinations up-to-date.

text: The name "Flying Monkey" refers to the story of Hanuman in the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana. Hanuman symbolizes loving devotional service (Bhakti) to the Supreme. In one story, Hanuman went to a mountain on a mission for a medicinal herb growing there. Not sure which herb to get, but determined to bring the needed medicine, he picked up and carried the entire mountain! This story reminded Jon of the Bible verse Mathew 17:20. When we have faith, we can move mountains!

speaking so much easier.
Really. You should see the difference it makes in people with stage fright. When they know the words will do all the heavy lifting and take the audience to the right places, they can relax. And they do.
Speeches are so much better when the speaker doesn't step to the podium with a proverbial stick in their actual bum.

It goes without saying that the primary goal of a profit company is to increase the wealth of its shareholders, by paying dividends and causing the price of the company's shares to increase. The company's board is entrusted with managing the business and affairs of the company in the interests of the company's shareholders, as well as its wider stakeholders such as customers, suppliers, creditors, employees and the community. Therefore, to achieve the primary goal, the board must ensure that dividends are paid to the company's shareholders, but that in paying the dividends, such action will not adversely impact the price of the company's shares or the wider interests of the company's other stakeholders.
Every director (and prescribed officer) should be mindful to never turn a blind eye to any decision proposed to be made by the board, especially when it is endeavouring to carry forth the company's primary goal and, most importantly, even where such director's voting rights alone cannot change the outcome of the board's decision.
This article sets out at least one scenario where "turning a blind eye" has very dangerous consequences.
Hypothetical scenario
– A company's board of directors consists of three directors.
– Two of the three directors are the sole shareholders of the company.
– The two directors who are shareholders wish to declare and pay a distribution (a dividend).
– The third director, who is not a shareholder, does not believe that the company has sufficient funds to declare a distribution.
What should the third director do?
Applicable Law
Section 46(1) of Companies Act (71 of 2008) (the Act) provides that a company must not make any proposed distribution unless –
(1) (a) the distribution –
(i) is pursuant to an existing legal obligation of the company, or a court order; or
(ii) the board of the company, by resolution, has authorised the distribution;
(b) it reasonably appears that the company will satisfy the solvency and liquidity test immediately after completing the proposed distribution; and
(c) the board of the company, by resolution, has acknowledged that it has applied the solvency and liquidity test as set out in section 4, and reasonably concluded that the company will satisfy the solvency and liquidity test immediately after completing the proposed distribution.
Section 46(6) provides that a director of a company is liable to the extent set out in section 77(3)(e)(vi) if such director was (a) present at the meeting when the board approved such distribution, or participated in making a decision in terms of section 74; and (b) failed to vote against the distribution, despite knowing that the distribution was contrary to section 46.
Section 77(3)(e)(vi) holds a director liable for any loss, damages or costs sustained by the company as a direct or indirect consequence of the director having been present at a meeting, or participated in the making of a decision in terms of section 74, and failing to vote against a resolution approving a distribution, despite knowing that the distribution was contrary to section 46, subject to subsection 77(4).
Section 77(4)(a) limits the liability in terms of section 77(3)(e) and provides that such liability arises only if (i) immediately after making all of the distribution contemplated in a resolution in terms of section 46, the company does not satisfy the solvency and liquidity test; and (ii) it was unreasonable at the time of the decision to conclude that the company would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test after making the relevant distribution.
Section 77(4)(b) furthermore limits the liability of a director to the difference between (i) the amount by which the value of the distribution exceeded the amount that could have been distributed without causing the company to fail to satisfy the solvency and liquidity test and (ii) the amount recovered by the company from persons to whom the distribution was made.
On the assumption that the two directors who are also shareholders of the company vote in favour of the resolution to make the distribution and further resolve that the company satisfies the solvency and liquidity test, the third director (who does not verily believe that the company, after making the distribution, would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test) may take the following course of action:
- Director fails to vote against decision
If the third director was present at meeting where the board authorised the distribution, or participated in the making of the decision in terms of section 74, by turning a blind eye and not voting against such decision, that director can be held liable in terms of section 77(3)(e)(vi).
If, thereafter, the third director wishes to mitigate his/her position and escape liability, the third director would be able to apply to a court for an order setting aside the decision of the board in terms of section 77(5).
In terms of section 77(5)(b), the court may make (i) an order setting aside the decision in whole or in part, absolutely or conditionally; and (ii) any further order that is just and equitable in the circumstances, including an order (aa) to rectify the decision, reverse any transaction, or restore any consideration paid or benefit received by any person in terms of the decision of the board and (bb) requiring the company to indemnify any director who has been or may be held liable in terms of section 77, including indemnification for the costs of the proceedings under section 77(5).
- Director votes against the decision
If the third director votes against the decision, the director will not be held liable in terms of section 77(3)(e)(vi).
It is therefore of paramount importance that directors who find themselves in such situations ensure that, even where they are unable to sway the board against making such decisions, they should expressly vote against such decisions and ensure that their objections are duly recorded in the minutes of the meeting.
Rectifying the unauthorised distribution
If the distribution was authorised by the board and has not yet been paid to the shareholders, a director may in terms of section 20(4), apply to the High Court for an appropriate order restraining the company from doing anything inconsistent with the Act.
Alternatively, once the distribution has been paid, a director may either:
- in terms of section 165(2), serve a demand upon the company to commence legal proceedings in terms of section 77(5) (see above);
- in terms of section 165(6) (in exceptional circumstances), apply to a court for leave to bring proceedings in terms of section 77(5) in the name and on behalf of the company without first making a demand as contemplated in section 165(2), or without affording the company time to respond to the demand; or
- file a complaint in writing with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission in terms of section 168.
From the above analysis, it is clear that setting rules for and striking a balance between the often opposing interests of the board in its attempt to pay dividends and increase shareholder returns and the wider interests of the company's other stakeholders, was no doubt one of the hardest tasks of the drafters of the new the Act.
Having regard to the stringent rules in the Act regarding directors' duties and standards of conduct, a director can never be too careful in taking an active role in every decision of the board and never turning a blind eye to decisions which might not be in compliance with the Act, even where the board is achieving its primary goal.

Introduction: Chuckwagon Campfire Cooking Rack
Maybe you've seen those wrought-iron cooking setups that the cowboys use to hang their Dutch Ovens and other cast-iron over the camp fire. A search on the Internet will reveal that they tend to be a bit expensive if not outright obscene in terms of cost. Here's how to make one for less that $30 that will serve just as well as any on the market.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: The Parts
All you'll need is three 48-inch long x 1/2-inch black steel plumbing pipes from the hardware store. In addition, you'll need two T-connectors (3/4 inch by 3/4 inch by 1/2 inch), perhaps 4 cheap 5/16ths carabiners or S-hooks, and 2 lengths of 2-foot x 1/4 inch link chain. See the photograph that illustrates all of these components. Total cost for all of these was less than $30.
Step 2: Putting the Rack Together - the Rack
Nothing to it!... Just thread two of the pipes into the matching 1/2 inch inputs in the two "T' connectors.
Step 3: Putting the Rack Together - Bang Em in the Ground
Take the back of your axe or perhaps a heavy mallet and drive the pipes with their connectors into the ground about a foot. These obviously need to be spaced on either side of your intended campfire location and can't be farther apart than the length of the horizontal pipe (I used a 48 inch pipe but you can employ longer pipe if you like).
You'll notice that while the pipes are 1/2 inch in inner diameter, the straight-through inputs of the T-connectors are 3/4 inch in inner diameter. This allows the pipe to slide through the connector.
Step 4: Putting the Rack Together - the Hangers
Snap a carabiner or S-hook onto each end of the two lengths of chain.
Step 5: Putting the Rack Together - the Hangers
Slide one carabiner/chain end onto the pipe. Repeat for as many chain hangers as you've chosen to employ.
Step 6: Attach Your Ovens and Light the Fire!
Adjust the height as you deem necessary by passing the loose end of the chains through the pot bails and snapping the carabiner to the appropriate chain link. It's easy to modify the height of the pot above the fire and control temperatures as necessary! Enjoy! - "Outdoor Ed" Livesay

I have one of these but I'm afraid to drive the vertical supports into the ground with fear of breaking the connector. Has this ever happend or any suggestions?
Another suggestion is to add 't's and cross pipes to the bottoms of the uprights, then it could be used on grounds that are too soft to safely hold up or on areas that you cannot pound them in.
Nice setup, including all the added suggestions. One thing I would add is a pair of 1/2" pipe caps to the ends of the horizontal pipe. They would keep the pipe from sliding through the tee's and also help protect anyone brushing by too close.
Nice project! I'd like to reprint this article in Wood-Fired Magazine. Please contact me at email@example.com
Great Instructible!
One question though. I've cooked on an open pit like this several times before, and always on a 4' X 1' fire pit under 1/2" cold rolled fire irons. They always felt solid. My top bar will be 5' and I'm going to be hanging two 16" Dutch ovens and a couple coffee pots on the top bar. The DO's are around 40 lbs a piece when empty. How solid is the half inch pipe? I don't want to get everything going just to have it collapse in the fire. I was thinking of stepping up to 3/4" and 1" fittings.
Any thoughts?
Hmmm... Good question. Just to err on the safe side, I'd say that going to 3/4" pipe would certainly do the trick! Thanks! Ed
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for. I am trying out a one month project where all dinners will be cooked outside weather permitting. I am curious to see the cost savings over using my old indoor stove that cost a fortune to run. Plus I have a few garbage bins of scrape oak, pine and cherry to use up. This will save me a lot of money. Thanks
Thanks for this great Instructable! Just to let you know, I took advantage of the CC license and translated it in French, on an instructables-like website targeted at LARP players. So far we only got positive reactions :).
Oh, and did I say it ? Thanks again :)
It is a pretty nice oven rack for certain areas
- i see you pound the uprights about a foot in the ground.
For an all round oven rack - you could use the same priciple of screwing the piping together but go for an A-frame style on each end.
No pounding of the uprights in the ground and might be a bit more stable all round.
I'm just thinking of if it rains and the ground soaks and your pots/ovens are full - the wind starts blowing - pots / ovens start swinging - you may find your next meal on the ground being eaten by the critters.
Plus with an A-frame style you can go with lighter weight piping for the uprights.
another idea just looking at it - to prevent the pots chain from slipping you could use say 10" pieces of piping - with a coupler 1.5"nipple - then coupler then 10" piece and the same again to make up the horizontal support (top pipe) the nipple in the middel of the couplers would prevent the chain from slipping side to side or down the pipe - say if you tip the pot/oven to one side - like scooping out that last deliscious drop of campifire stew...?
just some thoughts... but nice job and one last question...
So... when is dinner being served?
Come on down... we'll drink breakfast together!
I really like this Instructable for a campfire cooking rack. Being able to take the whole thing apart to store it or transport it makes it even more appealing.
I also like the suggestion to add tee-connectors to the bottom of each leg. To avoid having to stake the connectors to the ground, though, you could run another length of pipe through each of the bottom tee-connectors to make the whole thing stable and free-standing.
Neat idea!
Step 3 - Perhaps putting a piece of wood on the pipe before whacking it with the back of an axe might be a tad safer for the metal. Black pipe tends to crack or shatter when struck repeatedly. If this critical point breaks we'd starve. ;)
Another thought - if you put Ts at the bottom of the vertical pipes you might not need to pound this in the ground. You could anchor the inverted Ts with a few stakes made out of rebar bent in a U shape.
This are great! You could also set two of these side by side and that way you could hang 4 pieces of chain to suspend a grill above the fire that you built right in the middle.
There's plenty of room to hang 4 medium pots on a single rack. By using a 6-foot piece of lateral pipe, more than enough room would exist.
You are correct. I should have said this would make it a great grill.
I did vote for your instructable.

Earning a living as a creative is difficult no matter what area of creative arts you pursue. My experiences with creatives have produced more heart-breaking stories of artists and others not value the artist's work more than, I believe, in any other profession. I have never gone to a grocery store and expected them to give me my food for free. I have never taken my car into the mechanic, called a plumber, electrician, or any service professional and expected them to do their work for free.

In popular thinking, "metal music" and "great lyrics" don't usually go hand-in-hand.
Heavy metal has a reputation for being all pomp, speed, all shred and very little else. But, behind the walls of guitars, wailing and fast tempo drumming, you'll often find some surprisingly sophisticated stanzas and sentiments.
Today I'm running through three of my all-time favourite metal lyrics, and why I rate them.
Recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing American acoustic guitarist, singer and songwriter, Tom Faulkner, perform in a small intimate venue in Texas. When Tom played and sang, angels and muses stopped to take notes. I closed my eyes and watched as his words and intricate strumming created memories not my own and awakened moments I never lived in vibrant color. Tom was good, very good. He was good at Folk. He was good at Blues. He was good at Cajun. He was good at Rock. Even folks without rhythm found rhythm and those without a song easily merged into his and claimed his tune as their own.
The holiday season is upon us again. As a result, you've probably been bombarded with Christmas music on the radio, on television and in shopping malls.
That's certainly been the case for me. And, so much exposure to Christmas music over the past few weeks has got me thinking: what makes a great Christmas lyric?
Sometimes, when writing a song, it's hard to find the exact word to convey what you're feeling.
For some, that means rifling through the rhyming dictionary. For others, it means going back and rejigging the lyric to change the meaning.

- buddha's hand
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
zest buddha's hand.
(i just cut off the zest in large chunks, but you could use a zester, i suppose.)
mix water, sugar, and zest in a pot.
simmer 10 minutes.
let steep for an hour or so.
(but don't leave it in too long.
i think i accidentally did,
and now my ice cream is not as awesome as it could be.
a little too zesty,
but in a bad way.)
add milk.
(my guess is you could add heavy cream too--
i didn't have any on hand,
so i didn't.
but i bet it would make it creamier.
and who doesn't want creamier ice cream?)
throw it in the ice cream maker.
and enjoy the idea of eating a frozen, creamy buddha's hand.

A double murder investigation has been launched after the deaths of two men who were found seriously injured in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Police were called at 1am to Montague Road, Leytonstone, northeast London.
They were alerted by ambulance services, who were treating two men, both believed to be in their twenties, who had been found in a vehicle.
An air ambulance was also dispatched to the scene, but paramedics could not save them.
A spokesperson for the London Ambulance Service said: 'Every effort was made to resuscitate the two men.
"Despite the best efforts they were pronounced dead at the scene."
An incident room has opened in Barking under Detective Chief Inspector Neil Attewell from the Homicide and Major Crime Command.
Police have appealed for anyone with information to come forward, and are working to inform the victims' next of kin.
A note on a bunch of flowers left at the scene said: "rip aaron, always in our hearts, miss you. From jordan & mum xxx".
Police refused to confirm reports that the men were shot, and said the cause of death was not immediately clear.
Post mortem examinations are being conducted on Saturday afternoon.

Social Life & Community Responsibility
Socialising, feeling part of our community and being happy is conducive to academic success. With this in mind, we have many events throughout the year but most especially at the start of term to try to achieve this. BBQs, restaurant outings for the whole Sixth Form, themed film nights, social evening events in Houses, Sixth Form Fancy Dress Party, Proms, Charity events, themed mufti days, Jazz Nights, Band Night, concerts, theatre trips, education talks and pamper evenings.
Our U6 finish off their time at Prior in style with the Grand Leavers' Dinner, Leavers' Concert and Palladian Ball in the Assembly Rooms in Bath.
As well as being happy, we set great store by nurturing a culture of responsibility and a sense of service, which contribute to our Sixth Formers becoming effective leaders. The fact that students look out for one another is immediately apparent as soon as you enter the school; kindness, self-respect and respect for others is instantly evident. This culture of concern is evident as Sixth Formers help junior pupils with both learning and adaptation to school life. Many of our Sixth Form are prefects for younger years, there are also opportunities to be part of the Paired Reading programme to lead discussions or debates.
Prior Concern is for many a highlight of the week; a chance for students to work in any number of local charitable projects including the homeless, nursery children and elderly. Eco-Prior acts to prevent climate change, works actively to conserve energy around the school and beyond and, of course, promotes the protection of the natural environment. Charities' Committee are hard-working members of the Sixth Form, aiming to make as much money as possible for the worthy causes voted for by the entire school. Charities' Week is a chance for each tutor group to compete to raise the most money; teachers getting sponged and cake sales are favourites.

Is Jesus The Son Of God?
This one of the sermons that was preached in the series we recently had-"Questions You Finally Have To Answer"
John 18:28-19:9- Jesus' conversation with Pilate about who He is
*The Facts
•Jesus was an actual person, who lived and died in the 1st century A.D. in Palestine
•Very soon after His death, His followers taught that He was the Messiah, that He died for mankind's sins, was the Son of God
Matthew 16:13-17-Peter's confession
Acts 10:36-40, 1 Cor. 15:3-8-"Christ died for our sins, seen by 500 people, by me"
1 John 4:9-10-"God sent Son into world, He loved us"
•The Movement started in Judea and radiated outwards
•Grew significantly
•Early followers paid a severe price for belief
*The Possible Explanation
•Jesus was a fraud-His followers constructed a myth that He was the Son of God
Fraud-no scandals connected with Him; what would be His motive? Unbelievers even refuse to speak ill of Him
Myth-not enough time and distance-teaching occurred right after His death and at the same place to people who knew Him
Acts 2:22-24-7 weeks after Jesus' death vs 32-38
Josephus-Antiquities (96 A.D.)-"Jesus, Pilate condemned Him to the cross, those that loved Him did not forsake Him, Christians today"
Pliny the Magistrate to Emperor Trajan (ruled from 98-116 A.D.)-Letter about how to judge Christians-"singing to Christ as God"
•30 years after Jesus died Romans, Mark, 1 Cor. written
Gospel of Thomas written 100-200 years after His death
•Why would followers do this? Not safe until 4th century
Son of God
•Earliest records attest to it (NT)-1000's of manuscripts
All 4 Gospels are harmonious, but individual
•Public miracles
Mohammad received his message in a cave, alone; Joseph Smith in the woods alone
•Resurrection-no one could produce the body-no explanation
•Prophesies-100's of years before His birth
*Summary-Evidence we have–
Abundant, contrary is weak-more theory than documents, have you investigated?
John 3:16-showed mercy but yet be just. 6:66-69-"To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."

In recent art world news, more than 85 works from Barney Ebsworth's art collection will be on the auction block in November at Christie's in New York. The late travel entrepreneur's collection is estimated at over $300 million. The auction house's fall auction will highlight American art featuring works by Edward Hopper, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning. According to Christie's, Ebsworth's art trove is regarded as the "greatest collection of American modernism ever to come to market."
Ebsworth, who passed away this past April, is from a generation whose art collections are coming to the art market among a significant shift in wealth dynamics. In a study by UBS Group AG, it was found that "[b]illionaires 70 or older will transfer $2.4 trillion to heirs and charities in the next 20 years." The Ebsworth collection is said to be at least the third significant estate sale scheduled for this upcoming fall auction season, among those assembled by the late food titan Harry "Hunk" Anderson and the late Museum of Modern Art trustee David Teiger.
Featured artist Hopper's well known "Chop Suey" (1929) painting portraying two women in a restaurant, is expected to sell for about $70 million, surpassing the artist's current auction record of $40.5 million set in 2013. De Kooning's "Women as Landscape" (1955) is estimated at $60 million, and Pollock's "Composition With Red Strokes" (1950) is estimated at $50 million.
It will be interesting to see if the above estimates of the featured works will be surpassed in the upcoming auction sale this November.

Three police officers and two suspected suicide bombers have been killed in twin blasts near a busy bus terminal in East Jakarta.
Five other police officers and five civilians were also wounded in the attack, which took place a few minutes apart at a bus stop near the Kampung Melayu terminal around 9pm on Wednesday night (6pm AEST).
National Police spokesman Setyo Wasisto told Fairfax Media that the explosions took place between the bus terminal toilet and the parking lot.
Images of bloodied body parts emerged as heavily armed police cordoned off the area.
Locals had been crowding onto the streets to watch a torch parade to celebrate the beginning of the month of Ramadan, which begins on Friday. Police were providing security for the parade.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack and the identities of the suspects have not been released.
Wasisto said the explosives appeared to have been packed into pressure cookers, Reuters reports.
A similar bomb was used in February in Bandung, a city 150km south-east of Jakarta, by a lone attacker who was killed by police. Authorities suspected that assailant of having links to a radical network sympathetic to ISIS.
In January 2016, a series of bombings and gun attacks killed four people, including one police officer, in the heart of Jakarta.
Indonesian authorities have attributed a sharp rise in the number of small-scale terror attacks in the nation to the influence of Islamic State.
Police had processed 170 alleged terrorists in 2016, up from 82 the previous year, national police chief Tito Karnavian reported.

My first impulse is to step back and let these poems speak for themselves, and they do, magnificently, but because promoting voices from my home town of Rockford, Illinois has become important to me, I'd like to add that I did a reading with Emily Sipiora, who was 17 years old at the time, and introduced her as "the best poet of this generation, which is my opinion then and now." That said, I will now stand back and let these poems speak for themself.
"Taking Xanax at IKEA with your extended family"
A plastic bonsai tree sits next to a real one in a display
wondering if it was really okay
to feel this different than its companion.
Real trees look healthier
& appearance is important!
The bark is clear and rugged,
matured and developed
but that medicated plastic tree
looks slimy and cheap
My body is just as bleak
full of tears, tar, & sleet
It's separated from me
& I'm hundreds of miles away
Underneath, the tree has no deep growth
it sits by itself–
wondering if anyone can tell the difference between itself
& a living, growing being.
Familiar thoughts of disappoint
& self loathing are rooted in me
These roots are strong and deep
& just like your dirty habits:
they will not break
& they won't go away.
I took my medicine with the pretending bonsai in hand
in the yard, it sits with the other trees
waiting for something that won't ever happen.
"Loft Party"
Sometimes, it's the way you style your hair
or your silhouette in a crowd of people.
It's a strange parallel
an eerie mirrored front
A smile that breaks my heart
because it reminds me of the start.
Alone in a crowd of people,
I felt salvaged in thinking
that someone so dead
was resembled by living.
Amorphous and poring
he is plucking strings
and picking through my records.
He is the thoughtful specter of a houseguest.
Always at my window perched
tapping and watching me sleep
I always see him between the trees
and at the corners of gas stations
he looks lost and disheveled
like god dropped him here
without a moment's notice.
He takes the thin, silver cord
that connects my body to this Earth
and frays it over and over
because his is already severed.
He caresses it like a noose
and it puts awful ideas inside of me.
I have wasted years
trying to understand what you say–
frankly, you sounded like a ghost
when you were alive.
Surely, it's better off this way.
There's always a draft in your place
cold empty air where you used to be.
There's a gap that you created
just to torment me.
"Sitting in the back of the classroom by yourself because really– who would
actually want to be your friend?"
I think I'm in a glass box
on Monday mornings, for show
and on Saturday nights to ridicule.
I have nothing more to do
than to bide my time
sleep until supper
and drive back home.
I haven't been to class in three months
but your sneer through the slip of a curtain
laughing and having fun without me
is just enough.
I've been trying to get myself out of my head
nothing seems to work,
I find myself in bed for days instead.
Finding the only comfort
in a little brown cat
that hops on my windowsill
I count the notches on her back.
One two three four
someone's given her a sour score.
Pussy and leaking, her flank lies flat
mewling at my window, a shoulder chipped at.
The window shows a sad little movie
of animal control rolling down the street.
I already know what's about to happen
I pray to the god I'm due to meet.
There is a terrified, inhumane noise.
I want to go back to object permanence
closing my eyes and pretending to sleep.
None of this is worth the shaky hands
and bitter burning in your throat
the little parts of giving up made me weak
just like the bits of viscera on my street.
Everything you touch,
and everyone you miss
kind thoughts and intentions
have always turned to shit.
I'm afraid of redemption,
because it means I'm first incorrect.
I'm bedridden by choice,
hiding, a wreck.
It's precious to love something
but that doesn't protect it.
If you need to ask yourself this question,
you probably should've left it.
it's better not to bother.
-Emily Sipiora

Because of a scarcity of resources, small audit functions face several risks, including the inability to meet expectations of the board and senior management, failure to achieve objectives, and lack of continuity. But they can develop strategies and use tools to overcome these obstacles, taking advantage of opportunities related to their size.
Internal auditors in small audit functions should identify departments in their organizations that can add value to internal audit and assist it in leveraging scarce resources — departments such as risk management; compliance; environment, health and safety; security; legal; IT; governance and strategy; resource planning; and quality assurance. Building long-lasting relationships with these areas allows internal audit to be aware of identified risks and understand the processes and controls put in place to mitigate such risks.
Involving experts from other departments on individual engagements brings expertise that internal auditors lack for a specific project (IT, legal, engineering, etc.) and provides the experts with insight about internal audit methods and the types of information internal auditors are looking for. The experts should be independent of the audited area, supervised, and approved financially by management to provide assistance.
Internal audit also may consider asking someone within the organization to review audit work — someone who has knowledge and experience, particularly in governance, risk management, and audit practices, such as a former internal auditor or an employee who is a member of an audit committee in another organization. Documentation of such reviews should be kept.
There also should be cooperation with external auditors, peer reviewers, hired consultants, and regulatory authorities. Even if internal audit work is not used by external auditors or consultants, the chief audit executive (CAE) should keep in touch with them to discuss risks and potential flaws in the system of internal controls, as well as best practices. Knowing the plans and areas to be covered by external reviewers, an internal audit function can reallocate resources to other risk areas. The function may benefit from the findings in those areas addressed by external stakeholders and reviewers when they are interpreted through the prism of the whole organization.
Leveraging the knowledge, experience, and best practices of industry peers and local IIA chapters also can help resolve complicated issues. Through interaction with such groups, internal auditors can get access to valuable resources, such as presentations and manuals, templates of audit programs, and other internal audit documentation.
It is important that the CAE carefully prioritize internal audit work by considering audit activities included in the annual audit plan, emerging high-risk and sensitive issues, urgency of requests, and availability of internal audit staff and staff within the audited area.
Limited time can be prioritized by using internal audit software and software used by other departments for data analysis and reporting, as well as templates developed for various tasks and procedures. This allows internal audit to spend more time solving complicated audit issues instead of performing manual routine tasks.
Flexibility can be increased by reserving time for consulting and investigative engagements and other activities not known in advance. Internal audit also could consider performing audit engagements in two stages: interim and final. During the interim stage, internal auditors perform a preliminary review of available information and systems and discuss questions and concerns with audit clients to learn about additional resource needs or how much unplanned time auditors may require during the final procedures. Practitioners then can provide some insight to clients about what to expect during the final audit stage and contribute to better management of the budget and uncertainty.
It also is important that internal auditors participate in meetings on strategic initiatives early on, which enables them to add greater value to governance processes, risk assessments, and internal control improvements. Auditors can prioritize their limited time by attending the most crucial meetings and rely on the review of the minutes from others.
If internal audit still cannot manage all the requests or does not have the expertise to address some of them, it should consider cosourcing. This is beneficial when specialized expertise or software is needed, but not available, in an organization; multiple requests have to be addressed urgently; the value expected from the project can be leveraged; and additional budget is available for hiring temporary employees. Interns or cooperative education students can perform less complicated tasks, especially during the busy season, or be involved in administrative tasks for the internal audit function, which can assist in managing a small budget. However, appropriate safeguards should be put in place when providing temporary employee access to internal audit information.
A CAE should be open and work closely with the board and senior management when analyzing the resource needs of the audit function so they understand the existing trade-off between the resources, internal audit objectives, and compliance with the requirements of The IIA's International Professional Practices Framework. If limited resources cause nonconformance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, the board and senior management should be informed and should agree to this outcome. It is crucial that an open discussion among the CAE, board, and senior management happens regularly as expectations and objectives change, which leads to changes in resourcing needs.
Maintaining continuous communication with various departments in an organization can be done through planning and close-out meetings during engagements, collecting feedback in surveys, and organizing workshops and other training. Investing time in continuous communication can pay off for internal audit in the long run.
Continuity, consistency, and quality of work can be difficult to maintain, especially if there's high employee turnover.The internal audit charter, policies, procedures, and manuals enable the function to comply with the Standards and improve consistency of audit work. The same is true for templates that are used during internal audit projects, management of the internal audit function, and reporting to the board and senior management. Well-organized records and information management assist in preserving these tools for continued use.
Another element of a continuity plan, as well as a requirement of the Standards, is the assessment of a quality assurance and improvement program (QAIP). A thorough QAIP reduces the risk of nonconformance with the Standards. To improve the QAIP, small internal audit functions can involve peer organizations to identify common flaws in it.
Activity calendars for each staff member that include important activities performed annually by each position and due dates (such as audit planning, QAIP, reporting to the board and senior management, etc.) also can be used. Such calendars will help provide directions for existing staff members, develop the expectations for newcomers, manage budgeted time, and monitor performance against targets.
Though an audit function may be small, it does not mean it cannot be effective. With the right tools and focus, small audit functions can meet the expectations of the board and senior management, achieve objectives, and maintain continuity. By setting realistic expectations and being flexible and efficient, small functions can be just as successful as their larger peers.

Mumbai crime: Jeweller cheated people of Rs 7 lakh with lure of gold loans
A 30-year-old man from Gujarat, who allegedly cheated more than 75 people in the city after enticing them with cheap gold loans, has been arrested
The accused had been absconding for the past few months after duping several people of an amount roughly totalling up to Rs 7 lakh. According to the police officials, the accused, identified as Ashok Murli Soni, owned a shop named Balaji Jewellers at Tulshedpada in Bhandup. An officer from Bhandup police station said, "Soni has been running a shop called Balaji for the last five years, but after cheating so many people, he escaped to Gujarat. After that an FIR was registered against the absconder."
The modus operandi opted by the accused was to tell people he was providing them mortgage loans at a lesser interest rate than other jewellers. But he would take advantage of the borrowers' neediness and give them sums of money way lesser in value than the weight of their yellow metal commanded. On the side, he also cheated people by telling them he would help them relieve the loans they had taken from other jewelers for a small fee. But he fled with all that money, without doing anything to pay off the people's debts.
The police officer said, "Soni started calling people in the area, saying that he was providing gold loans at cheaper interest rates. He also told them he knew the other jewellers they had taken loans from and could ask them to mitigate their debts, and for this, he was charging people money. After he managed to accumulate a large amount, he fled the city. A case has been registered at the police station."
Later, the police received information regarding his whereabouts and a team was dispatched to Gujarat. The officials nabbed him on December 24. As per the police, the accused has cheated people of a total of Rs 7 lakh. After his arrest, many other complainants have come forward citing that they had also been cheated by the accused. The cops they are expecting more such cases to emerge. Soni has been booked under section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the Indian Penal Code, and has been remanded in police custody.

Evaluation of indicators for desertification risk assessment in part of Thar Desert Region of Rajasthan using geospatial techniques

Click here to view fulltext PDF
Permanent link:
Desertification has emerged as a major economic, social and environmental problem in the western part of India. The best way of dealing with desertification is to take appropriate measures to arrest land degradation, especially in areas prone to desertification. This requires an early warning system for desertification based on scientific inputs. Hence, in the present study, an attempt has been made to develop a comprehensive model for the assessment of desertification risk in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, India, using 23 desertification indicators. Indicators including soil, climate, vegetation and socio-economic parameters were integrated into a GIS environment to get environmental sensitive areas (ESAs) to desertification. Desertification risk index (DRI) was calculated based on ESAs to desertification, the degree of land degradation and significant desertification indicators obtained from the stepwise multiple regression model. DRI was validated by using independent indicators such as soil organic matter content and cation exchange capacity. Multiple regression analysis shows that 16 indicators out of 23 were found to be significant for assessing desertification risk at a 99% confidence interval with $R^{2}$=0.83. The proposed methodology provides a series of effective indicators that would help to identify where desertification is a current or potential problem, and what could be the actions to alleviate the problem over time.

Request a March Recess Town Hall
🏛 This topic is archived
You're viewing a topic that isn't worth calling on anymore. It either passed, failled or is otherwise stuck and unlikely to move forward. If this information changes, we'll open this topic to calls again.
The Senate and House of Representatives are in congressional recess from March 18th-22nd. This time is allotted for members of Congress to work in their districts and engage with constituents they represent. It is also the perfect time for them to hold public town halls and hear the concerns of their constituents live and in person.
Your representatives work for you: you should have regular opportunities to discuss their positions, platforms, and how their legislative agendas will affect you and those close to you. Town halls are a critical tool for holding representatives accountable for their actions and ensuring that these men and women, who spend much of their time outside of their home states, are hearing the needs and concerns of their constituents in person.
Take the opportunity during this recess period to speak to your members of Congress. Attend a scheduled town hall, or if your congressional members refuse to hold a town hall, request an in-office meeting to discuss your concerns.
NOTE: Select a local office number to get the most up-to-date town hall schedule information.

About Us
My Place Germantown is a Pennsylvania not-for-profit with a mission to reduce homelessness in the Germantown section of Philadelphia by providing permanent supportive housing for disabled homeless individuals in a community-based setting.
Support Progression
Educator Mary Ellen Graham became involved in social work at an age when most people consider retirement. After volunteering at a homeless shelter, Graham was inspired to leave academia in order to serve the poor full-time. It was in 2007, while working as a case worker at St. Vincent DePaul's health care center, that the specific difficulties her middle-aged male clients faced gave birth to the idea of My Place Germantown.
Graham believed the poor conditions her clients were living in undermined the health center's work. "When the housing isn't stable, medical routines aren't consistent." She made it her mission to create housing that would be an appropriate option for these hard-to-place individuals.
After sharing her dream with fellow parishioners at Germantown's St. Vincent DePaul parish, Graham received an enthusiastic response. When St. Vincent's decided to sell its convent dating from the 1860's, and Community Ventures, a non-profit developer of low income housing agreed to partner as the developer, Graham was able to set about making the dream a reality. The location was perfect for her clients at the health care center who considered the neighborhood their home.
Germantown residents, however, were initially skeptical of the project and blocked the rezoning effort. Founding board member Tom Volkert, convinced of the value of the project to the community, agreed to chair a neighborhood advisory committee to involve and inform neighbors. Today, both MPG residents and neighbors have representation on the advisory committee.
In 2010, after a total renovation of the building, the first tenants began moving into the 12-unit residence. In order to qualify, each resident must meet two requirements: he must have a certifiable disability and have experienced a recent bout of homelessness. Two of the apartments are wheelchair-accessible while one has been retrofitted for the visually or hearing impaired. Each resident signs a lease and pays an affordable rent. Although the residents live independently, they benefit from support services and the presence of around-the-clock staff.
In anticipation of Mary Ellen Graham's retirement as Executive Director in 2015, a study was conducted to plan for the future of My Place Germantown. It was determined that forming a partnership with a larger organization with a compatible mission would be in the best interest of MPG. A service agreement was entered into with Horizon House to assume program and maintenance operations at the site, with the goal of eventual merger. MPG remains responsible for administering its HUD grant and raising the matching funds required by the grant.
MPG and Horizon House represent the best in human services and are both committed to constant assessment and improvement. This match for MPG promises to continue Graham's original mission of providing affordable housing and support services to a vulnerable population in a small community-based setting.

My Favorite Austin Photographers
It seems like I do more than enough self promotion on my blog, specifically about the kinds of photography that Austin Americana does and the kind of clients we work with. But what about other photographers here in Austin, Texas? Austin is full of fantastic and wonderful photographers who specialize in all kinds of photography, from weddings to landscapes. Central Texas has an enormous pool of talented artists who regularly display their work in galleries and on websites for public viewing and enjoyment. So in the spirit of sharing and promoting others work and talent, I'd like to tell my readers about some of the talented photographers I've worked with or admired here in Austin. Eight of the nine artists listed below are people I've been taught by, worked with and/or consider a good friend.
Peter Tsai, Austin Photographer: http://www.petertsaiphotography.com
I met Peter while taking a photography class through the University of Texas Informal Classes. He is a very talented and soft spoken individual who never ceases to amaze me with his creativity and ideas. A particular favorite of mine is his "b-boy" photography, capturing break dancing in a beautiful way.
Joseph Pettyjohn, Austin Photographer: www.pettyjohnphotography.com/
Joe has to be one of the most relaxed, laid back photographers I know. I learned about landscape photography from him years ago during a UT Class. He specializes in landscape photography and is rarely without one of his trademark hats.
Tim Babiak, Austin Photographer: www.exquisitephotoaustin.com/
Tim is an amazing portrait photographer who is overflowing with knowledge and information about portraiture. His photos are truly exquisite (like his business name) and his enthusiasm for photography is second to none. I have attended several of his Photography MeetUp groups which he graciously hosts and teaches at his home in Austin.
Carlos Austin, Austin Photographer: http://www.austinphotography.com
I probably know more about wedding photography because of Carlos than any other single source. Carlos is a 3rd generation Texas photographer who photographs portraits and weddings. He is a true professional and he is a very experienced photographer and planner.
John Langford, Austin Photographer: http://www.johnlangford.com/
John is a master portrait photographer who tells stories through a single photograph, which is an amazing talent. He has a magnetic personality that provokes brilliant responses from his clients who are photographed in his studio. He also brings a level of eccentricity to his work that is creative and has led him on a world-wide journey recently.
Jason Wang, Austin Photographer: http://jwangphotography.com
Jason is a very good friend of mine who also happens to be a talented and up-and-coming photographer. He is capable of shooting a studio portrait one day, sports action shots the next and then following up with beautiful macro-photos of insects. He photographed my family portrait and has shot next to me on several important photographic assignments.
Jamie Kovach, Austin Photographer: http://jamiekovach.com
Jamie is a true art photographer at heart. She photographed weddings with me and eventually photographed my wedding. She has a knack for capturing images in a surreal, yet simple way. She has now taken on a new challenge, pursuing a master's degree in fine arts photography – something that I have a sneaking suspicion she'll be very successful with.
Kirk Tuck, Austin Photographer: http://www.kirktuck.com/
Although I must admit I've never met Kirk, I thoroughly enjoy reading his Austin Photography Blog, where he frequently discusses new photographic products, lighting and puts a personal spin on all things photography. He is inspiring and talented and perhaps one day I'll have the opportunity to meet him.
Heather Wise, Austin Photographer: http://www.heatherwisephotography.com
Heather is a talented up-and-coming wedding photographer. She has worked with me on a number of weddings and bridal sessions. She is devoted to the trade of photography and has wonderful insight into her work and telling a wedding story.

*A Prometheus Award Best Novel Nominee*
"Daniel Suarez's hugely impressive Delta-v fuses the real world with sci-fi, giving the space genre a new boost and new hope."
—Tom Shippey, The Wall Street Journal
"Daniel Suarez has slowly gotten quite a reputation as a master of high-tech, sci-fi thrillers. Not only is Delta-v no exception, it very well may be his finest work to date… Throughout his career, Suarez has found consistent comparison to the late, great Michael Crichton. I can assuredly support that he is in a very small group of current writers who can carry that weighty mantle forward."
"A cut above most tech novels, Suarez's latest benefits from his attention to detail, which boosts the believability of his futuristic vision."
"A gripping and realistic near-future thriller."
"High finance and asteroid mining on the High Frontier—terrific!"
—Greg Bear, New York Times bestselling author
"Thoroughly researched and brilliantly written, Daniel Suarez integrates the technology, intrigue, chaos and the human drama of the next 'giant leap' with rare scientific and operational literacy. Haunting, bold and inspirational, this deep space tale resonates on every level. For me, a twenty-two year NASA veteran in direct mission support, Delta-v captures the very essence of exploration."
—James Logan, MD, former NASA Chief of Flight Medicine
More Praise for Daniel Suarez and His Novels
"Biopunk has been waiting for its William Gibson, to bring a whole new vision of the future as Mr. Gibson did for cyberpunk, and Daniel Suarez has done it. . . . Exhilarating, alarming—Daniel Suarez plays the two great thrills of sci-fi against each other, and not just for fun. He thinks this is coming, and he means it. Read it and wonder."
—The Wall Street Journal on Change Agent
"Terrifyingly plausible."
—Time on Change Agent
"The depth and sophistication of Suarez's dystopian world—not to mention his facility at making complex science intelligible to the nonexpert—rivals anything Michael Crichton ever did."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Change Agent
"The action scenes are plenty lively, [but] the best thing about the book is its depiction of a troublesome future in which people can change physical identities the way they change clothes. . . . A natural at making future shocks seem perfectly believable, Suarez delivers his most entertaining high-tech thriller yet."
—Kirkus Reviews on Change Agent
"The ultimate form of identity theft is just a genetic edit away in Suarez's newest fast-paced, speculative thriller. . . . Offer this to Michael Crichton and science-fiction-suspense fans."
—Booklist on Change Agent
"[Daniel Suarez] is the best author of tech fiction since Bruce Sterling and Neal Stephenson."
—John Robb, futurist and author of Brave New War
"Suarez is the Jules Verne of the digital age."
–Frank Schirrmacher, Author & Publisher of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ)
"[A] riveting debut."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Daemon
"This concluding volume crackles with electrifying action scenes and bristles with intriguing ideas about a frightening, near-future world. . . . The two books combined form the cyberthriller against which all others will be measured."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Freedom (TM)
"A terrifyingly real scenario."
—The Washington Post on Kill Decision
"Enthralling, convincing."
—Time on Influx
"So frightening, even the government has taken note."
—Entertainment Weekly on Influx
"A sinister, propulsive story . . . It raises the stakes to catastrophic levels."
—St. Petersburg Times on Influx
"Does for surfing the web what Jaws did for swimming in the ocean . . . both entertaining and credible."
—Chicago Sun-Times on Influx
"Ambitious . . . I came away from this novel with a . . . new fear of computer capability."
—New York Times bestselling author Robin Cook on Influx
"Fiendishly clever . . . an almost perfect guilty-pleasure novel."
—The Dallas Morning News on Influx
