but sir at the end of the day the notification issued by central government is the final one according to the article 299AA. and so,therefore what ever center had notified in the gazette of India is't that constitutional.ReplyDelete
In detail filly explained. Means a lot .Thank you Sir for your timely explanationReplyDelete
I don't agree with Mr katju.there is a saying in hindi worth mentioning here,Bhagwan ganje ko nakhun nahin deta.its will be very dangerous to give great powers to chief minister.the present tussle proves my point.delhi is capital city.the state govt should have only limited powers,or else it can cause great damage no matter if it's kejriwal or someone else.ReplyDelete
SO, If Delhi CM goes to the Court to nullify the latest circular(or in other words to prove his point that he can have his SAY in appointing Chief Secretary) , he will win ?ReplyDelete

IDEAL DEMOCRACY AND INDIAN CONSTITUTION FOR DELHI :ReplyDelete
1.It is well settled law by Supreme COURT :"Administrative instructions/ statutory rules can not supersede constitutional provisions. "
2. Supremacy of democracy to be ensured at all levels by all concerned.
3. Parliament and President of India have already admitted and treated Delhi as a "STATE"under Electricity Act, 2003 provides DERC, but for U.T.s, it is only JERC.SO, if there is elected govt. as per constitution ,then there is no question to still treat as U.T.
4. Lt. Governor is simply is the administrative HEAD but can not be the constitutional head on behalf of President.LG is not competent to exercise constitutional powers of President, however Chief Minister is the constitutional executive head even for Delhi and can not be overruled as par with Prime Minister.
5. When there is elected Government as per constitution & R.P.ACT, threre
should be state constitutional head i.e. Governor and not administrative head i.e. L.G.
6. It is evident as mentioned in the administrative notification issued by the MHA to allow openly to act as per his "DISCRETION" and not as per constitution .In constitution and in judicial jargon, there is no such power or word "DISCRETION ". DISCRETION amount to open 'Corruption & Abuse of Power'. It lacks transparency and unconstitutional and ultra wire ab initio. Above all, DISCRETION at every step is destroying our democracy and snake pit of corruption, nepotism, favoritism.
7.Our political masters and top babus to be our guiding stars, ideal, model and have humble leadership for welfare of the society and to be above all party politics showing that we all souls belong to one Godly family and for away from all "ISMs."
8. The current Delhi JUNG- CIVIL WAR clearly demonstrated publicly that our top babus are directly responsible and always keep in mind being public servant about SERVICE CONDUCT RULES and avoid to indulge for misconduct, unbecoming, indiscipline, disobedience, non cooperation, violent, political/outside influence and acting and operating against the duly elected government by the public and should have properly guided/ advised the Govt well in time to avoid such undemocratic and politically motivated attack on democracy and directly affecting public rights and justice under the constitution expecting from elected govt and not from an administrator, otherwise democracy is going to be totally dictatorship by one single undemocratic person just for political gains.Let us all of us join hands that public should not suffer at any cost due to political vendetta.
9. It is now well established from on going Delhi-Jung that is direct attack,mockery and
suffocation of democracy and fraud on public and constitution by Union of India with support by unbecoming and misconduct of top babus acting and operating against all democratic norms and trying to dictate the elected government-VOICE of PEOPLE just by 'DISCRETION' against ZERO CORRUPTION. JAGO. United Nations, Transoarecy International,UNCAC- United Nations Convention Against Corruption, Indian Prome minister, Delhi Chief Minister and public in general for ZERO CORRUPTION appears to be a 'DREAM'. Spirituality is the foundation for political transformation to have IDEAL DEMOCRACY i.e. GOLDEN AGE or RAMRAJYA- SATYUGA .Therefore, SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION is the call of time : Self Transformation,World Transformation ! Full Details on Google : MEHAR BHAI BLOGS
Unconstitutional Dual Governance in Delhi is public murder and fraud on constitution. Center / LG have made practically the duly elected govt to 'ZERO' where policemen and babus are above public elected representatives and made them also part of on going civil war due to 'Dirt Politics' encouraged indiscipline and misconduct by public servants. All over learned souls created confusion by using the word 'APPOINTMENT'. but the issue is for just interim work arrangements for few days to be called placement/ assignment by internal arrangements by the supervisors.So it is not a case of appointment. Under service jurisprudence, appointment is always made by the appointing authority in accordance with statutory rules/ recruitment rules. Here, President of India is the appointing authority but not LG.It is a clear case for Abuse of Power' by LG and illegal to pass IRREGULAR directions to the babus directly ignoring deliberately duly elected govt. and destroying democracy.Acting Chief Secretary is also violated CONDUCT Rules and acted against advice of immediate controlling authority and brought political influence publicly in her favor indulged in 'ISM' for personal gains.Above all ,as per CVC rules, vigilance clearance is must before such positions. It is doubtful whether LG has obtained vigilance clearance before issuing such hasty and unconstitutional orders posing as a dictator against advice of council of ministers violating Article 239 AA.It is also not clear as to why regular chief secretary has not made interim arrangements before proceeding on leave.Normally, such arrangements to be done in advance in public interest and it is no where laid down that govt. to be bound to take approval from LG/ President for such internal short period arrangements.Under Fundamental RULE 49 also at least 42 days days minimum limit for officiating appointments.Any how , due to 'Dirt Politics' poor public is suffering by misusing Constitution for selfish motives.IDEAL SOLUTION : either FULL STATEHOOD or U.T. as no third option or dual governance.Always constitutional crisis will continue especially when different political parties governments in center and state.GOD BLESS ALL , SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY !!! For ideal governce, follow laws of GOD- SPIRITUAL LAWS. Full details on Google : MEHAR BHAI BLOGSReplyDelete
HAPPY PUBLIC SERVICE DAY !!!ReplyDelete
Heartiest Congratulations !Excellent and Wonderful words of wisdom.Our leaders to be motivator and inspiration for others.Be Model ,Ideal and Humble leaders as Crown of servant's leadership.We call our selves as free but in real sense we are all slaves of our unlimited desires and all VIKARS. OUR 'BABU RAJ' are still in British Rule slavery.They do nothing except post office role, confined to A/Cs rooms only and in the real sense 'Kings of Kalyuga' and genesis of all scams. Full of corruption, nepotism,favoritism and abuse of power and corrupt babus are protecting the corrupts from top to bottom under the shelter of political masters.Deep rooted criminal conspiracy continues . CBI/SIT Probe for Delhi Electricity Ombudsman & DERC- full of corruption and guilty of serious recruitment scams since 2004. Let us make the dream of ZERO CORRUPTION - a reality and global model. All the BEST. GOD BLESS !!! Stop at once egoistic VIP culture and focus on original VIP culture i.e. VIP = VALUES INSPIRED PERSONALITY ! For all -Focus on SPIRITUAL REVOLUTION for greater transformation to Golden Age-SATYUGA

He did time as a James Brown impersonator, had stints of homelessness and was the subject of a biographical documentary; now Charles Bradley, on the heels of his 2013 release Victim of Love, plays Pittsburgh's First Night celebration. The now-65-year-old Bradley broke out in 2011 with his debut, No Time for Dreaming, on Daptone Records, which has a knack for finding underappreciated soul musicians and putting them in the limelight. Not unlike the man he once impersonated, Bradley is renowned for the physical endurance he demonstrates on stage, and the whole family can check him out tonight at the Highmark Stage, on Penn Avenue, Downtown. Andy Mulkerin 10:45 p.m. (First Night events run from 6 p.m. to after midnight.) Cultural District, Downtown. All-access buttons $8-10. All ages. 412-456-6666 or www.firstnightpgh.org
Was a time when the biggest ticket in town — for twentysomethings, and for teens who were getting away with a little something — was Rusted Root's annual New Year's Eve show. Those kids are grown up now, but Pittsburgh's biggest band of the '90s is back for another go this year. It's at the Rex Theater on the South Side, and the Root is joined by a couple other local bands: Bastard Bearded Irishmen and Derek Woodz Band. Let Glabicki, Berlin and company send you on your way into 2014. (Oh, and no teens sneaking into this one, please; it's 21 and over.) AM 9 p.m.1602 E. Carson St., South Side. $40. 412-381-6811 or www.rextheater.com
Here's yet another way to ring in the New Year: with a bunch of local bands and DJs at the Ultra Dive! Tonight, The Harlan Twins reprise a past role as Belvedere's New Year's Eve house band, and bring with them hard rockers Outsideinside and DJs Pandemic Pete and Nice Rec. It's sure to be a diverse assortment of music, and it's also the one night a year you can drink champagne at Belvedere's, so there's that. AM 9 p.m. 4016 Butler St., Lawrenceville. $10. 412-687-2555
Fuzzy, early-emo-sounding guitar rock started its comeback in 2013; Pity Sex showed up just in time. The Ann Arbor four-piece released its first full-length, Feast of Love, this summer on Run for Cover, recalling any number of punk and indie bands of the late '90s and early '00s — from Weston to I Hate Myself. The band starts its early-2014 run of shows with one tonight at the Smiling Moose. Self Defense Family, Lvl Up and Adventures open. AM 6:30 p.m. 1306 E. Carson St., South Side. $10. All ages. 412-431-4668 or www.smiling-moose.com

Having a strong CSR programme has become de riguer for any firm serious about business today. But there are so many good causes out there that it's hard to decide which one to support. Bearing in mind that cancer scares us all, while the plight of children afflicted by major diseases tugs at most people's heartstrings, we have found what we believe is one of the most worthy and well-run NPOs in Japan: The Tyler Foundation.
I must admit not really having known the full scope of this very active organisation, that helps children with cancer and their families, until I attended its Rhinestone Cowboy fundraiser in early October (see page 26). It was a marvelous evening organised by clearly dedicated people, many of them volunteers, and was a great balance of sad anecdotes, strong optimism and lots of fun.
If your firm is looking for a solid CSR partner, I strongly recommend you contact the people at The Tyler Foundation.
Our sincere thanks to Ambassador David Warren, who was very gracious to allow us into his residence at the British Embassy Tokyo to photograph him for the "My Day" column on page 22. He also gave me some valuable feedback: David was most impressed a few weeks ago to see BCCJ ACUMEN in the departure lounge of a major British carrier at London Heathrow Airport. Yes, we do have a significant overseas presence, at international airports and chambers of commerce in Asia, the Middle East and the UK, plus at a number of organisations directly involved in trade between Japan and the UK.
On behalf of Custom Media, I'd like to wish BCCJ Executive Director Ian de Stains a rapid and comfortable recovery from his recent heart surgery. We look forward to seeing him back at his office as soon as he is ready.

If in the next 48 hours or so you start experience network failure, don't worry because this is planned. In a report from RT (via NDTV), the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has announced that they will be carrying out maintenance work and change the cryptographic key that helps protect the Internet's DNS.
According to ICANN, they claim that this maintenance work is necessary especially in this day and age where we're seeing a rise in cyber attacks. In a statement made by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), it seems that not everyone will necessarily be affected by this, and that it will depend on your ISP and whether or not they've already prepared themselves.
The CRA says, "To further clarify, some internet users might be affected if their network operators or Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have not prepared for this change. However, this impact can be avoided by enabling the appropriate system security extensions." We can only assume that most ISPs should have already prepared themselves for this, but in the event you do experience network interruptions for certain websites or when making online transactions, fret not as it should all be done with in the next 48 hours, although we suppose if you can help it, maybe hold off on making any sensitive transactions until it has passed.

Sierra Leone U-20 team has qualified to the next stage of the 2018 FIFA women's qualifiers without kicking a ball after their Libyan counterpart withdrew from the competition.
According to Director of Competition, Sorie Ibrahim Sesay, said that the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) has officially informed the Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) confirming the withdrawal of the Libya female U-20 team.
He said that automatically qualifies the Sierra Leone women's U-20 team to the next round of the qualifiers. They will now face their Tunisian counterparts in the next round and play their first leg away at the Olympic Stadium in Rades, Tunisa, on the 14 September 2017 and the returning fixture will be played two weeks later in Sierra Leone.
Sorie said as a result of that the mission designated match official for the first leg in Tripoli and the Ivorians in Makeni for the return fixture originally scheduled for July 21 and August 5 2017, has been cancelled
The Coach, Victoria Conteh, said even though their Libyan counterparts have withdrawn they will still continue with their training and they will identify more players to beef the squad to face Tunisia.

There is sad news in the WoW community today. The longtime, invaluable auction house resource The Undermine Journal will be closing its doors at the end of July. The Journal cites ballooning server hosting costs as the culprit, and they just can't keep up. Since 2010, The Undermine Journal has been the place to go if you wanted to stay on top of auction house pricing--particularly for comparisons across different servers. The loss of this site is huge blow WoW players as a whole, but particularly for those who make a dedicated hobby out of playing the auction house.
There does remain some hope for The Journal's future, however. If they can find a new server host, it's possible that a revamped Undermine Journal will make an appearance in time for Warlords of Draenor. However, in their news announcement, they caution that if the expansion's launch comes and goes without The Undermine Journal's reappearance, it will likely be gone for good. They will do their best to keep a webpage in place in order to deliver updates on the situation.
From those of us at WoW Insider, we'd like to thank Erorus, the creator behind The Undermine Journal, for all his hard work and dedication to maintaining such a wonderful resource. We hope The Undermine Journal's absence is just a hiatus, but either way, we'll see you at Realm Pop.

Avant Calling
Blonde Redhead are chosen
By Linda Laban
JULY 17, 2000: For the past seven years, the NYC-based band Blonde Redhead have maintained a reasonably normal existence in the realm of indie rock, insofar as "normal" can apply to a Sonic Youth-inspired trio featuring Italian-born twin brothers on guitar and drums and a Japanese woman on guitar. They've received a degree of critical acclaim for the four CDs they've released on Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley's Smells Like Records label and Touch and Go; they've moved a modest number of units, and they've toured extensively, either playing small venues on their own or opening for similar-minded, avant-leaning indie bands like Fugazi and Unwound in larger clubs. Still, it's a surprise to find Blonde Redhead's name turning up on this season's summer shed circuit, on a tour has them as the opening act on the Red Hot Chili Peppers/Foo Fighters tour.
How did an art-damaged underground outfit like Blonde Redhead find itself in the company of two mainstream rock acts? The link is RHCP guitarist John Frusciante, who revealed his own fondness for the kind of fragile dissonance, fractured melodies, and abstract soundscapes on a pair of solo album he recorded while on hiatus from the Chili Peppers in the mid '90s. Frusciante happens to be friendly with Fugazi's Guy Picciotto, the producer of Blonde Redhead's new Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons (Touch and Go). And it was Frusciante who brought Blonde Redhead's name to the table when it was time to recruit an opening act for the band's summer tour.
"I think that Guy producing the record is how John got to listen to it," muses Blonde Redhead guitarist/vocalist Amedeo Pace in Italian-accented English when I reach him by phone. Gayle Fine at Q Prime, the Peppers' management company, confirms that it was Frusciante's idea: "It was absolutely a choice requested by John, and the other band members were all for it. They dig Blonde Redhead's music. And they like to tour with bands that they like and give those artists who may not be that well known the opportunity to expose their music to a broader audience."
Exposure to a broader audience comes at a good time for Blonde Redhead because, despite the cryptic title, Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons finds Amedeo Pace, his brother Simone (drums and keyboards), and Kazu Makino (vocals/guitar) playing down the more challenging aspects of their style in favor of more-accessible melodies and dreamier soundscapes. "It's very different from our other records," Amedeo admits. "I'm not saying it's more musical. That depends on how you hear the music. I can hear a lot of beauty in the craziest of our songs. But this one maybe has a kind of beauty that the people will be able to get right away."
The vocals on Melody remain as quirky as ever, with Amedeo's tenuous and occasionally irksome warble sharing the spotlight with Kazu's shrill, Ono-esque delivery. Both Amedeo and Kazu have developed a warmer, less standoffish tone, and they're becoming more comfortable at the microphone. Still, Amedeo admits that singing remains a challenge. "You put yourself in a situation where you are very vulnerable in front of other people. The ideas that you have, the things that you really love, you are presenting them to someone else and maybe he has a different idea to what you have, and that's hard."
Of course, the one band that Blonde Redhead have consistently been compared to since debuting as a quartet in 1993 -- Sonic Youth -- have never been accused of possessing great singers, at least not in any traditional sense. But the move from the dissonance of alternate-tuned guitars of their first few albums to more traditional melodic structure on Melody would seem to be a conscious attempt by Blonde Redhead to leave the Sonic Youth comparisons behind them. "They are such a great band that I'd rather be compared to them than someone else," Amedeo says. "But we are so different now."
Different, perhaps. But Blonde Redhead would still make a lot more sense as the opening act on a Sonic Youth tour than they do warming up arena-size crowds for Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers. And Amedeo is well aware that Blonde Redhead are going to stick out like a sore thumb. Indeed, he says, when Frusciante called about doing the tour, "I had some questions for him because I didn't want us to be in an uncomfortable situation. I've heard a lot of bands that open up for them sometimes are booed because everyone is waiting for the Chili Peppers to go on. It could be pretty discouraging. We thought about it for two or three weeks and decided it would be a good thing to try at least. I think we are now strong enough to take what's coming to us . . . unless it's a bottle or a shoe."

Billy Caldwell's case helped persuade the home secretary to change the law on the drug last year – but he now has just nine days' supply left.
The cannabis oil dramatically reduces Billy's seizures and gives him a much better quality of life, says his mother.
Charlotte Caldwell told Sky News that a world-renowned Great Ormond Street specialist has advised Billy's doctor to prescribe the medicine, but she has so far heard nothing back.
She says it is "unfair and cruel" and claims the same doctor is giving it to another child in Northern Ireland, and that another is getting it on the NHS in England.
Ms Caldwell, from County Tyrone, has paid for the drug privately before – but at more than £6,000 for three months' supply she simply can't afford it anymore.
"I'm a single mum with a special needs child and I don't have the money, I just can't do it," says Ms Caldwell.
"I'm frightened and extremely worried for Billy because it's almost like history repeating itself."
She told Sky News: "Billy is running out of time. We're heading to a crisis situation.
"I've tried to be dignified and work with doctors and give the doctor in Belfast all the evidence… I don't know what else I can do. We're on the countdown again."
Ms Caldwell is urging Health Secretary Matt Hancock and health bosses in Northern Ireland to meet her as the clock ticks on her son's supply.
The Department of Health has said it does not intervene in doctors' decisions and will consider the Great Ormond Street opinion when it gets a formal report.
Billy, 13, was getting cannabis oil through the public health system for over a year until May 2018, when his GP was ordered to stop.
The family went to Canada to get a supply but it was confiscated when they flew into Heathrow Airport.
After four days without the drug, Billy was rushed to hospital when his seizures "returned with a vengeance" and Ms Caldwell says she thought he might die.
The home secretary's intervention meant Billy and other children eventually got permission for the medication.
It also helped change the law, and in November 2018 specialist doctors were given the power to prescribe cannabis-based medicines.
However, patients say the NHS is reluctant to sign off on them, and some have been forced to go private or illegally grow their own supply.
Billy and his mother returned to see Canadian experts last winter after his "seizures started to break through" as he entered puberty.
He was put on a new cannabis medicine, but Ms Caldwell says they ended up "exiled" there after being warned she could be arrested.
"I got a call in Canada from a director of the Belfast trust telling me that Billy's doctor would not be supporting his new prescription, so it would be illegal for me to return to the UK with the prescription," says Ms Caldwell.
After months in the freezing Canadian winter, they were finally able to return in February after a doctor agreed to a private prescription.
Now, with the money for private treatment gone, Ms Caldwell says the family's specialist paediatric doctor is refusing to give them a fresh supply because of new guidelines and a lack of clinical data.
She says a referral to Professor Helen Cross at London's Great Ormond Street children's hospital three weeks ago was "amazing" and gave the family hope.
The expert recommended that Billy be given the medicine and Ms Caldwell is now desperately waiting to hear if her local specialist will take it on board.
"How come that other child is getting their medicine under the new guidelines and with no clinical trial data in Northern Ireland, by the same doctor?" says Ms Caldwell.
"I'm not attacking those families," she adds.
"I'm delighted they got their medicine after Billy got his, but how come we have a GP in England writing a prescription for medicinal cannabis for another child on the NHS."
"This is the little boy who changed the law… I am angry, I'm frustrated, I'm sad, I'm frightened, I'm worried. I'm totally at a loss."
Northern Ireland's Department of Health did not comment on Ms Caldwell's claims that another child was getting the medicine.
However, it said it had approved the medicine last year but that Billy's mother had "sought an alternative unlicensed cannabis-based product on a private basis".
"Any changes to clinical care are a matter first and foremost between the patient and the patient's clinician," said a spokesperson.
They said the department was aware of the second opinion from Great Ormond Street and that a formal report was "expected shortly" and would be "considered when received".

Even when married couples think childhood class differences are in the past, those factors shape how each spouse tackles tasks and allocates resources.
Racial attachments are understood to be socially constructed and endogenous to gender, socioeconomic, and religious identities. Yet we know surprisingly little about the effect of such identities on the particular racial labels that individuals self-select. In this article, I investigate how social identities shape the racial labels chosen by biracial individuals in the United States, a rapidly growing population who have multiple labeling options.
It is well known that family socioeconomic background influences childhood access to opportunities. Educational reforms that introduce new information about school quality may lead to increased inequality if families with more resources are better able to respond. However, these policies can also level the playing field for choice by equalizing disadvantaged families' access to information. This study assesses how a novel accountability system affected family enrollment decisions in the Chicago Public Schools by introducing new test performance information and consequences.
Adolescents from poor versus nonpoor neighborhoods are more likely to become obese during the transition to adulthood. It is unclear whether this pertains to all adolescents from poor neighborhoods or only those who remain in disadvantaged settings. Further, it is unknown how neighborhood poverty entries and exits are associated with obesity.
Though the concept of social justice is widely used in the social sciences, we know little about the amount of income inequality that is perceived as just and why perceptions vary across social contexts. In this paper, we argue the ways people define the causes of poverty are related to how they perceive and justify existing income inequality. We examine internal and external attributions of poverty using survey data from the 2006 International Social Justice Project (ISJP). We compare two culturally and structurally distinct regions—East and West Germany.
Numerous studies document that higher education is associated with a reduced likelihood of depression. The protective effects of higher education, however, are known to vary across population subgroups. This study tests competing theories for who is likely to obtain a greater protective benefit from a college degree against depression through an analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and recently developed methods for analyzing heterogeneous treatment effects involving the use of propensity scores.
Having more physical limitations predicts greater depressive symptoms. However, relatively few studies examine self-conceptions as potential explanations for this association. Using ordinary least squares regression on panel data collected in Miami-Dade County, Florida (2001 and 2004, N = 1,362), we examine the effect of functional limitations on five dimensions of the self: self-esteem, mastery, mattering, introspection, and emotional reliance.
To test the effect of ability grouping on grades and the attainment of higher education, this study examines a naturally occurring experiment—an admission reform that dramatically increased ability sorting between schools in the municipality of Stockholm. Following six cohorts of students (N = 79,020) from the age of 16 to 26, I find a mean effect close to zero and small positive and negative differentiating effects on grades.
How do undergraduates engage authority figures in college? Existing explanations predict class-based engagement strategies. Using in-depth interviews with 89 undergraduates at an elite university, I show how undergraduates with disparate precollege experiences differ in their orientations toward and strategies for engaging authority figures in college. Middle-class undergraduates report being at ease in interacting with authority figures and are proactive in doing so. Lower-income undergraduates, however, are split.
Sociologists of education have explored the relationship between students' postsecondary aspirations and their propensity to get "cooled out" in community colleges. However, researchers have directed little attention to students whose aspirations remain stable over long periods of time or to the different roles that college degree goals play in the lives of disadvantaged students. Using four waves of longitudinal interviews, I examine the reasons why low-income women hold steady to their aspirations for college degrees over a three-and-a-half-year period.

The 6 x 3.5m weaving that once proudly hung at the Gaelic Club… found a new beam to hang from and a new function as the sign for the inaugural event at 107 Redfern St… '72hrs of Art'.
The event saw around 750 folks come through the doors to check out the works in progress as well as the final exhibition. There was plenty of interactive activities as well as around 20 projects by invited local artists. Video games were designed and programmed, Put Put golf was played, paints were smeared, blocks were built and stitches were sewn. It was a dynamic 72hrs of art making!
Now it looks like the weaving is staying up for a while as general signage for the new space… so if you were once of the punters who wove at the Major Raiser event at the Gaelic Club… come check out your artwork hanging in a new space!
Keep your eye out for what 107 Projects is up to… 107 Redfern St is already making fun waves !

My special guest this week is author Suzy Henderson. Over to you, Suzy!
Thank you so much for hosting me here today, Adrian. It's a pleasure and I decided to talk a little about the idea behind my debut novel, The Beauty Shop.
About six years ago, I stumbled across the story of the Guinea Pig Club, and in that moment of discovery, I knew I had to write about it. People might wonder why it's so remarkable, after all, they were burned airmen who required medical care. But the hidden beauty is that they were far more than that to one man, a maverick plastic surgeon who cared for them all. It truly is an extraordinary tale and it is one that touches on themes such as beauty, identity and self-worth.
Archibald McIndoe was a New Zealander, and when he first arrived in England, British surgeons treated him as a colonial, something which irked him. Later, he would encounter disabled and disfigured Great War veterans begging in London or selling matchsticks or other wares just to get by. It was another shocking experience that stayed with him.
So, after he was appointed to run the burns unit at East Grinstead at the beginning of the war, he already had plans and ideas in mind. Once the first casualties began to arrive, he was shocked at the extent of the injuries; injuries that had never been seen before – but this was the war in the air, far more advanced warfare than had been seen during the last war. Young men, who just the day before had been glorious, handsome fly boys were burned beyond recognition, and some were suicidal. Fortunately, Archie had an agenda. He was determined these lads would not become social outcasts, and that they would live a whole life, have employment and the chance of marriage and children.
For Archie, it was a challenge, and he was a man who rose up and thrived from a challenge. His craft, which he had learned from his cousin, Sir Harold Delf Gillies, a plastic surgeon who had worked on the shattered faces of Great War veterans, was to be challenged tremendously and Archie became a leading innovator and pioneer in burns treatment.
One fine July day in 1941, a few of the lads from the ward decided to form a drinking club. They gave it a name and that was that. The treasurer was picked because he had his legs in plaster and therefore wouldn't be able to run off with any funds. The secretary was nominated because his hands were badly burned and bandaged, so he was unable to take any notes. Even in such adverse circumstances, their spirit and humour shone through.
Archie had his own ethos of care and that involved treating 'his boys' as he called them, normally. They weren't sick, and many of them had to endure multiple operations, becoming bored and frustrated while waiting between surgeries. Aware of this, Archie would arrange trips to the theatre in London, and he also encouraged them to go into the town of East Grinstead. Nurses were asked to be chaperones, and later, Archie recruited chorus girls from London's West End to volunteer for duty on his ward, and the lads enjoyed being seen out on the arm of a pretty girl. A few of the men married nurses from the ward. There was always a keg of beer on the ward and drinking, smoking, music and dancing was allowed all day long.
Archie would give talks whenever possible to the locals, informing them of his work at the hospital and educating them about burns treatment and the psychological implications. He often said, "Look them in the eye," and the locals quite literally took Archie's boys under their wing. They were very protective of them. Many would invite the lads back for tea, and some would hold house parties and dances. If you were lucky enough to be one of Archie's guinea pigs, then your social calendar was quite a busy one.
Resources for hospital care have always been tight but back in WW2, if Archie needed anything, he'd use his contacts and demand if necessary. He had his ways of extracting what he needed and asked many favours. Archie took the doctor-patient relationship in a whole new direction and considered the social and psychological problems these men endured. He would often ask friends and contacts about jobs for his boys. Quite simply, whatever they needed, Archie seemed to have a means of obtaining it or a solution. Have you ever heard of a doctor like him before? He joined the lads at the pub, drank with them, laughed with them, no doubt he even felt their pain.
He was rather more than a surgeon; he was a philanthropist until his early death in 1960. The club continues to this day, and of the original 649 members, 17 remain. The organization has served many of them and has helped those who needed it with things such as adaptations to their homes, buying suitable housing and establishing businesses. There is no club like it in the world, and I doubt there ever will be again. The price they paid to join was incredibly high, a price none of us would wish to pay.
The Beauty Shop by Suzy Henderson
England, 1942. After three years of WWII, Britain is showing the scars. But in this darkest of days, three lives intertwine, changing their destinies and those of many more.
Dr Archibald McIndoe, a New Zealand plastic surgeon with unorthodox methods, is on a mission to treat and rehabilitate badly burned airmen – their bodies and souls. With the camaraderie and support of the Guinea Pig Club, his boys battle to overcome disfigurement, pain, and prejudice to learn to live again.
John 'Mac' Mackenzie of the US Air Force is aware of the odds. He has one chance in five of surviving the war. Flying bombing missions through hell and back, he's fighting more than the Luftwaffe. Fear and doubt stalk him on the ground and in the air, and he's torn between his duty and his conscience.
Shy, decent and sensible Stella Charlton's future seems certain until war breaks out. As a new recruit to the WAAF, she meets an American pilot on New Year's Eve. After just one dance, she falls head over heels for the handsome airman. But when he survives a crash, she realises her own battle has only just begun.
Based on a true story, "The Beauty Shop" is a moving tale of love, compassion, and determination against a backdrop of wartime tragedy.

About Suzy
Suzy Henderson was born in the North of England, but a career in healthcare would eventually take her to rural Somerset. Years later, she decided to embark upon a degree in English Literature with The Open University.
That was the beginning of a new life journey, rekindling her love of writing and passion for history. With an obsession for military and aviation history, she began to write.
It was an old black and white photograph of her grandmother that caught Suzy's imagination many years ago. Her grandmother died in 1980 as did her tales of war as she never spoke of those times. When she decided to research her grandmother's war service in the WAAF, things spiralled from there. Stories came to light, little-known stories and tragedies and it is such discoveries that inform her writing.
Having relocated to the wilds of North Cumbria, she has the Pennines in sight and finally feels at home. Suzy is a member of the Historical Novel Society and the Romantic Novelists Association. "The Beauty Shop" is her debut novel and will be released 28th November 2016.

Child's Play
This story appears in the August 2007 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Imagine turning an idea you hatched during your morning shower into a $5 million business--in just three years. That is precisely how Don McNeill, the Wilmington, Delaware, inventor of You've Been Sentenced, conceived of his now wildly popular board game for kids ages 8 and up, which uses a deck of 540 pentagon-shaped cards to come up with ingenious and hilarious sentences.
"I started with an idea, one investor and $50,000, which was just enough to pay the bills," says McNeill, 43. "My daughter drew the prototype on her computer, and I called people I knew from a 20-year career selling commercial printing and gave them one-quarter of 1 percent of the company to help me produce the game."
It's a success story you can emulate. With the right idea, enough upfront cash and sufficient market research, it's possible to turn your dreams of entering the $22 billion toy industry into a viable career--and have fun doing it. But while brilliant ideas and cash are certainly paramount to success, toy industry insiders say it's the research that can make or break your toy empire. "The industry is strong, but you need to find holes in the marketplace and target them," says Chris Byrne, aka "The Toy Guy," an independent researcher and strategic marketing planner for the youth industry. "You also need to make sure that what you're planning to do is consistent with current trends and consumption patterns. For instance, right now the hottest toy trends are in electronics [like Nintendo DS, Webkinz and Wii], arts and crafts, and 'narrative' toys that expand a child's cognitive activity and inspire the imagination, so these are definitely areas you should explore. It's always easier to go in the direction of the market than to buck a trend."
That was the approach taken by Gwen Austin Yuffa, 36, the Denver inventor of RC Color Bug. Capitalizing on the hot market for radio-controlled products, she took a 10-year-old college project that was languishing in a box in her basement and transformed it into a ladybug-shaped, radio-controlled drawing implement for kids 4 and up. Even before its September 2007 launch, the product has already garnered orders of $300,000, against startup costs of more than $80,000 funded by angel investors. Color Bug was also one of just eight products recently featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show's annual "Next Big Idea" program, giving it priceless national exposure.
Get the Ball Rolling
Since hiring a credible market research firm can be quite pricey (upwards of $100,000, according to Byrne), most entrepreneurs undertake the task themselves. Visiting toy stores to see what is hot, talking to parents and kids, and joining organizations such as Toy Industry Association Inc. are good ways to touch base with what kids want and what parents want to buy.
Once you've identified a market, the next challenge is to produce a prototype you can shop around to test its marketability. Don't even think of trying to sell just an idea--buyers want to see the actual product to judge whether it has potential and to experience the fun factor firsthand. "Seeing a sketch on a napkin is not a good use of our time," says Ed Schmults, CEO of FAO Schwartz in New York City, which holds auditions for aspiring toy-makers several times a year. "We want inventors to come with a sample we can look at and play with. We need unique toys that are ready for production and retail shelves."
In fact, that's exactly how McNeill caught the FAO team's eye. In addition to challenging them to a few rounds of You've Been Sentenced at his audition, he trotted out another game, Twisted Fish, and the team decided to carry that one, too. "Talk about being on cloud nine. I walked out of there in tears," says McNeill.
While the toy audition is a great place to get an audience for your product, another way to get feedback--and orders--is to exhibit at an industry show like the American International Toy Fair in New York City. For the cost of a booth ($2,600 and up) and travel expenses, you're exposed to up to 12,000 buyers in four days. Armed with your proto-type, you'll have plenty of opportunities to dazzle buyers.
Coming up with that prototype and manufacturing a product to specification isn't as daunting a process as you might think. Many factories--some in the Far East--are quite capable of and willing to work with entrepreneurs. The biggest obstacles are usually distance and the time it takes to produce your toy, which is about 18 months to two years from concept to the retail shelf, according to Byrne.
Yuffa worked with her Chinese factory entirely by phone and e-mail but admits she found it difficult to find a company she could trust from so far away. Jim Glime, CEO of Jaag Plush in Madison Heights, Michigan, relied on contacts he acquired during a lengthy career with Kmart to scout out reputable manufacturers for the realistic North American wildlife toys he created, then took a trip to China to meet and interview factory owners and tour their facilities. "I was fortunate to have friends from the Kmart import department who retired to Hong Kong and helped me narrow down the field," says Glime, who expects 2007 sales of $4 million to $5 million. "But if you don't have contacts, visit the Hong Kong Trade Development Council website to find trade shows in China. The toy shows have tons of exhibitors with factories wanting to sell production time."
Different Paths
While many aspiring toy moguls see the industry as an opportunity to bring their imaginative ideas to life, others jump in without an original creation. There is yet another way to break into the business that does not require the considerable time and energy investment necessary to manufacture products to your specifications: You can become a toy retailer by purchasing products from wholesalers, then reselling them through your own website, through websites like eBay or through a brick-and-mortar store.
That's the route Pat Cuartero, 26, and Weber Hsu, 27, of YoYoNation.com, an online yo-yo seller, took to become toy tycoons, with projected 2007 sales of $1.1 million. Just two years ago, when the guys were assistant vice presidents on Wall Street, it occurred to Cuartero, who is a world yo-yo champion, that there wasn't a good source for the high-tech yo-yos he uses to impress judges and audiences. Starting their online business part time, the pair soon found themselves getting just one hour of sleep a night to keep up with orders. Within a year, they both quit their six-figure jobs to devote all their time to the New York City business.
Cuartero found product vendors by tapping into industry contacts he made while on the yo-yo competition circuit, but most new toy sellers have to find their products the old-fashioned way: through research and sales calls. Fortunately, toy fairs and the internet have made locating products easier.
What's more, you don't even necessarily have to stash your stock in a warehouse or your home or garage, as Cuartero and Hsu currently do. Depending on the type of toy you are selling, you may be able to enter into a drop-shipping agreement, where you take orders for the product and turn them over to the manufacturer, who in turn ships toys directly to the customers. As a drop-shipper, you will earn a percentage on each toy you sell--and all you need to do is write the order, process the payment and forward it to the manufacturer.
Internet sales portals such as YoYoNation.com are rapidly becoming the sales channels of choice for new toy sellers, especially since it can be very difficult to catch the eye of big-box retailers. With a minimal investment, it's possible to get a website up and running quickly, and such sales channels are no longer seen as the stepchildren of the retail industry.
"Wholesalers recognize that the internet gives you instant access to consumers around the world," Byrne says. "They'd rather have a big order from a retailer, but they realize that retail shelf space has been shrinking over the past seven to eight years. The internet really has leveled the playing field for new entrepreneurs."
No matter which avenue you take to toy stardom, entrepreneurs say that persistence is the key. Says Yuffa, "You need strong self-belief and the ability to accept criticism and not take no for an answer."
Keep It to Yourself
You've come up with a great idea--maybe even the next Pokémon or Tickle Me Elmo--and you're ready to create prototypes you can shop around. But should you be afraid that someone will steal your idea and run with it? Absolutely, says David K.S. Cornwell, director at intellectual property law firm Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox PLLC. "Infringement is more and more of an issue today, because once a product hits the shelves, it will be copied by competitors," he explains. "The number of toy patent infringement cases has skyrocketed in the past three to four years."
To protect yourself, Cornwell recommends obtaining a patent for your invention. A patent gives the inventor "the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention in the United States or importing the invention into the United States," according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. But this protection comes at a steep price. You can expect to pay $8,000 to $15,000 to get a case on file, then another $15,000 to $20,000 to obtain an allowed patent, Cornwell says. But if your toy takes off, there could be millions at stake, so it pays to consult a patent attorney early on. You can find a list of patent attorneys on the USPTO website.

Discover How to Become a Successful Exporter
When most Americans think of doing business with China, they think of outsourcing American manufacturing jobs. But that's not the big opportunity according to Mark Matsumoto. "Why buy from China when you can sell to China?"
Many small and mid-size businesses today are making jumbo profits by exporting products and services to China and other Asian Pacific markets. Thanks to modern technology, it's easier than you might think. According to Matsumoto, who has been doing it for 25 years, all you need is a smart phone and some common sense.
You can buy his book – Exporting in the Connected World – or you can hear it straight from the expert himself as Matsumoto is interviewed on this week's edition of Monday Morning Radio by host and reputation coach Dean Rotbart.
p.s. Do you remember when Roy H. Williams, the Wizard, and his co-author Michael Drew, talked about this very topic in their prescient 2012 bestseller, Pendulum?

Someone asks: "Why do we call today GOOD Friday rather than bad Friday…? Two thoughts occur…… I am struck re-reading John's account of the Passion with the simple starkness of the reply of Jesus to Pilate about being a king. Jesus says: "I have simply come to bear witness to truth."
Pilate betrays his own personal dissonance: "What is truth?"
Was Jesus crucified simply for refusing ever to deviate from what is true – whether truth underpinning authentic religious faith– or truth in a common humanity contrasted with sexual, racial or nationalistic divisiveness – or truth drawing together in love, come-what-may, our family and our friends?
A truly liberating question and vision! It is all-embracing. It encompasses an all embracing totality. We are here to bear witness to the truth: surely this says it all! But liberating though this is, we are immediately presented by it with the enduring dilemma –am I truthfully discerning today how I bear witness to what is true?
My second thought is borrowed – a post-concert poem:
"The Musician"
A memory of Kreisler once:
At some recital in this same city,
The seats all taken, I found myself pushed
On to the stage with a few others,
So near that I could see the toil
Of his face muscles, a pulse like a moth
Fluttering under the fine skin
And the indelible veins of his smooth brow.
I could see, too, the twitching of the fingers.
Caught temporarily in art's neurosis,
As we sat there or warmly applauded
This player who so beautifully suffered
For each of us upon his instrument.
So it must have been on Calvary
In the fiercer light of the thorns' halo:
The men standing by and that one figure,
The hands bleeding, the mind bruised but calm,
Making such music as lives still.
And no one daring to interrupt
Because it was himself that he played
And closer than all of them the God listened.
By R S Thomas
The following is a reflection by a literary critic. It points to parallels between the poem, the concert and Calvary and even risks a theological interpretation.
"This poem by the Welsh poet R. S. Thomas likens the Crucifixion to a violin concert by the celebrated German violinist Fritz Kreisler. The recital could occur in almost any city, be played by any great musician, and be witnessed by anyone arriving late and thus being thrust onto the stage to behold the agony that goes into the making of true beauty.
The scene is etched in purely naturalistic images: the jaw clenched tight with the intensity of performance; the pulse pumping at the throat like a trapped moth; the pressured veins bulging at the forehead as if penned with unfading ink; the fingers twitching frenetically with contorted energy. There's even the Freudian contention that true art is sublimated pain, a psychic unburdening, a redirection of unbearable guilt.
Yet there is the startling turn of the final stanza. That great beauty is born of great suffering is also the deepest Christian paradox. The cross was the stringed instrument upon which Christ himself was stretched taught. Instead of the bright stage lights, there is the fiercer and darker glow of the shameful thorns. In place of the fingers furiously pressing the strings, there are the grasping and bleeding hands. In lieu of the protruding veins and the quivering pulse, there is the bruised but calm head of Christ. No longer does he cry out his dereliction. He has made his final bow and uttered his Finitus est.
The differences are as stark as the likenesses. Whereas Kreisler's music ends with its performance, the music of the Cross lives on. The recital of our salvation was played on the instrument of Christ's very being—his life and his death. Jesus was not caught in a neurosis tamed by art; he was bound by the snares of our sin. Nor is his primary audience the Roman soldiers and the two thieves, nor is it the three Marys and the faithful John. More attentively than all of them, "the God" listened. This was no mere good man's death. This was God's own Son abandoned by God himself that he might make the redeeming music of our salvation."
My wish is to try to assimilate a little more fully the mystery of why we call today Good Friday.

Three months after their title-winning season came to an end, the honors continue to roll in for Ohio State football.
Sunday afternoon, running back Ezekiel Elliott was named as the winner of the AAU James E. Sullivan Award, one of the most prestigious honors in amateur sports. Elliott was one of 16 semifinalists for the 85th edition of the award, with former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota serving as the only other college football player up for the honor.
Here is the description of the award from the award itself:
Known as the "Oscar" of sports awards, and older than The Heisman, the AAU Sullivan Award honors the outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. It has been presented annually by the AAU since 1930 as a salute to founder and past president of the Amateur Athletic Union, and a pioneer in amateur sports, James E. Sullivan. Based on the qualities of leadership, character, sportsmanship, and the ideals of amateurism, the AAU Sullivan Award goes far beyond athletic accomplishments and honors those who have shown strong moral character.
Elliott is the second consecutive college football player to win the award as Penn State's John Urschel claimed last year's trophy. Elliott becomes the eighth college football player to claim the Sullivan, joining Urschel, joining Felix "Doc" Blanchard (Army, 1945), Arnold Tucker (Army, 1946), Charlie Ward (Florida State, 1993), Peyton Manning (Tennessee, 1997), Tim Tebow (Florida, 2007) and Andrew Rodriguez (Army, 2011) .
Other former winners include golfing great Bobby Jones (1930, first year of the award), track legend Wilma Rudolph (1960), swimmer Mark Spitz (1971), decathlete Bruce Jenner (1976) and swimmer Michael Phelps (2003).
UPDATED 4:54 p.m. ET: Below is a quote from Elliott sent out by OSU's sports information department.
"First and foremost I'd like to thank the AAU Sullivan Award for representing the outstanding amateur athlete for the past 85 years, and secondly I want to congratulate all the finalists. I feel somewhat undeserving of this award with all these great athletes up here and all their tremendous accomplishments. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to win an Olympic gold medal so I want to congratulate all for being here.
"I've got to thank my parents for pushing me to being the person I am. They demand excellence out of me and that drove me to be the person I am today.
"I also want to thank Ohio State University for this and for all the opportunities it has presented me. And I want to thank my coaches and my teammates for making this opportunity possible. Football is a team sport and I'm nothing without my boys around me. Thank you!"

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Home for Christmas (11/20/08)
TITLE: A Place for the Lonely
By Leah Nichols
But anywhere is better than home.
In her mind's eye she can see them gathering in the living room tonight, chatting about this and that, eating ham and scalloped potatoes, fudge and sugar cookies. Admiring the ornaments on the tree, singing carols around the piano, with the children running about as they impatiently wait for the Christmas story and their chance to open presents.
Not a soul will worry about the black sheep of the family.
This particular sheep will eat her frozen dinner in her drafty apartment, casually read through the magazine she picked up from the grocery store, and tuck herself under the covers, alone once again.
This morning he had left her, "Finally!" he said this time. This time, no red-rimmed eyes and tear-stained cheeks darken her face. No longer will she let emotions or hopelessness drag her into the depths of despair. She simply feels empty - void of emotion, void of hope.
There's no 'season of hope' for me this Christmas. There's not even a 'home for Christmas' for me. No one cares.
The lady at the front desk smiles at her, but she passes on without response. It's her job to smile.
The neighbors two doors down see her fumbling with keys in the hall and wish her a "Merry Christmas!" but her curt "Thank-you" silences any further conversation. I'm sure they mean well. I just don't see a need to make a big deal out of it.
No surprise to find a pile of junk mail on the floor behind the door, and the answering machine sitting silently on the counter. She collapses into the loveseat with exhaustion after the busy day at work. No cards, no packages, no messages. It's just as well; if anyone deserves to go unnoticed, it's me.
But quarter to eleven that evening finds her weeping softly in the dark living room, unmoved since first sitting down.
The soft ringing of bells drifts through the cracks in the rickety window. The church on the corner.
She knows they have an eleven o'clock Christmas Eve service. She has no reason to go. Of all the people in her life, she avoids Him the most. And for good reason – from the straight and narrow she has strayed innumerable times.
Yet something draws her to the ringing bells. Perhaps reflecting on pleasant memories from Christmas past, perhaps a need for something other than sitting in the darkened room, perhaps even her desperate loneliness. Something drives her to put on her jacket, slip out the back stairs, and step through puddles and the constant rain to the church on the corner.
She stares at the ancient doors, the crack in between glowing with the light of a thousand candles. Music floats in the air, one hundred voices in harmony. She pauses, hesitating. Haven't I blown all my chances?
But she has come this far, and returning to the lonely apartment weighs heavier on her than the idea of pressing through.
No disappointment greets her when she opens the door. Instead, a deep feeling of warmth – cheer, perhaps? – permeates her hungry soul. A massive organ pipes out the Christmas carol as the choir sings along. The harmonious melody washes over her, and without a second thought she softly joins in the chorus, "O come, let us adore Him!"
Gentle smiles radiate from the people in the pews, but she focuses her gaze on the center aisle. She walks slowly to the front of the church and takes a candle to light it. Once more, the hesitation threatens to pull her away, but this time she will not stop. I'm so tired of running.
She whispers, "God, can you take me back? Please?"
No answer booms out of the sky, but a gentle peace descends to her spirit. Calmly she lights the candle, places it in the center of the altar, and kneels down.
Perhaps she kneels for a minute, perhaps for an hour. Yet as she kneels, the healing comes, the loneliness fades.

To get good shots of animals and birds, you will have to learn to be quick in setting up and framing your shots. Waiting until you get out in the wilderness to learn these tricks is not a good idea. What I found to be very helpful was practicing on my cats and on birds in my yard or local parks. You learn to anticipate their behavior and react fast to get the good shots. Here are some tips on how to get the best shots of animals and birds in the wild.
Practice taking shots of moving targets. Learning how to pan moving targets will allow you to take dramatic photographs with a sense of speed.Keep your camera handy and set up for unexpected encounters. Make sure you have fully charged camera batteries and plenty of film or memory.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Brian Long, 42, was convicted Friday afternoon on two counts of lewd or lascivious molestation and sexual battery.
Long, retired from the U.S. Navy, was arrested in February 2011 based on evidence that he sexually abused young Jacksonville girl from June 2004 until November 2009. Prosecutors say the victim was under the age of 12 when the abuse started.
The victim told authorities that Long threatened if she did not behave he would tie her up in his bedroom. Police served a search warrant at Long's home and found cloth restraints attached to his bed.
"Justice has finally been served for the victim and her family. The victim was able to face her abuser in court today with support from her family as well as Bikers Against Child Abuse," said Assistant State Attorney Erin Wolfson.
Long faces life in prison. His sentencing date will be set on Sept. 10, 2012.

One more great post from Weston Hicks with Agenda Wise.com
Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin provided an example of why Republicans have been losing for so long today, when she dismissed Rick Perry in strong terms for his efforts to reform higher education in Texas.
Adjusted for inflation, tuition at The University of Texas has tripled in cost since 1986, with no corresponding improvement in services, and even less interest in the trend. Higher ed is the one sector in America that makes ballooning medical costs look tame.
The problem starts with a higher ed establishment that has virtually no meaningful accountability and transparency. Recent data in Texas, gotten from the higher ed establishment with great grumbling and difficulty, shows the 80-20 rule in full form at the University of Texas, with about 20% of the faculty carrying the load.
Even still, Rubin was more than ready to label reform efforts "crackpot", satisfied with false reports, being pushed by the higher ed establishment, that reformers have already decided how to fix the problem.
This is a lie. In her instinctive rush to throw in with the establishment, Rubin and the Washington Post perpetuated this myth.
In truth, preparations to examine teaching, research, and money-spending were all that was required for higher ed and friendly liberal media to settle into the high-pitched fear mongering that Rubin has now clumsily assisted.
In truth, our country is in desperate need of people with the courage to ask difficult questions about wasted money in government. Higher ed is a glaring example, and Texas forces, including the Governor, have challenged the status quo.
Rubin's scathing tweets followed a Washington Post article by Karen Tumulty, which was itself a regurgitation of talking points from Texas media sources, primarily the George Soros funded "Texas Tribune". Like the Tribune it seems the Washington Post can be counted on to reflexively protect liberal power.
However, Rubin, part of the "love me too" conservative crowd in D.C., gave us an example of why conservatives have managed to get routed despite enjoying popular majorities on virtually every political issue.

With respect for the editors who've contributed these pages, it's always been my belief that ethical decisions where good people disagree should be placed in the hands of the people who live with the consequences. No one could have more at stake in this request than these articles' subjects.That was my explanation for why I nominated Daniel Brandt's biography for deletion in June 2007, and it's a reasoning that drives a lot of my actions. I'm not big on paternalism.
Within the realm of reasonable choices, I look to the individuals who are most affected by the outcome. And as long as I saw a reasonable aspects to Mr. Brandt's position, I honored it. (Regular readers of this blog know why and when I changed my mind in his instance). I've also nominated several other living people's biographies for deletion on the same basis: can we make do without it, and does the subject want it gone?
That reasoning guides my actions in a lot of situations. And when editors come to me with a personal security concern I take that seriously. Most of all, when the concern is credible, I take that person's choices seriously. That individual knows their own life situation far better than I ever will and if there's a mistake to be made it ought to be their own as long as it doesn't hurt anyone but themselves. I won't cross the line of law or ethics in order to honor their wishes, but if the thing they choose to do falls within the realm of reason I won't presume to take the decision out of their hands. I may offer advice if they're willing to listen.

Originally a Spanish idea, liaison teams are being set up in hospitals to identify potential donors, and ask relatives to allow their organs to be donated.
UK Transplant, based in Bristol, says 30 teams are currently in place, including one at Bristol's Frenchay Hospital.
More than 100 hospitals in Spain run the scheme, and the country now carries out the highest number of transplants in the world.
Under the scheme, organs are referred to the central control room of the national transplant organisation and if there are no emergency cases, the hospital can use them on non-urgent cases.
Spanish experts have visited Bristol to help set up the scheme.
UK Transplant has recently called for more people to register as organ donors.
A survey showed that although many people support organ donation, less than one in six have actually joined the national register.

Owner in linked segments of a single run at speed dropping West Bowl of home hill 49'North Jan. 28, 2018.
This vid is near the bottom of the Main Bowl after I dropped behind and below Chair 2 down the last leg before flat tracking back to the lodge. Literally bottom of the hill and I had broken out of the shade of the ridge into bluebird sunshine sparkling flying powder with the sun behind me coming up above the ridge so all you see is my 'shadow' on the snow in front riding with powder blowing freaking everywhere. My partner DP over in the Islands really liked it.

Devon ke Dev Mahadev 29th May 2014 Written Episode Update
Devon ke Dev Mahadev 29th May 2014 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
There is a dwandyudhha between Kartikeya & Nandi in first round. 2nd round follows by Kartikeya fighting blind folded with Nandi. Mahadev asks him to depend on his other senses to know opponents attack. He wins that round by stopping Nandi's attack. Followed by a Sword fight with Ganesh. He wins in that too. Mahadev asks him to develop & practice new technoques of war. Kartikeya wants to practice with Nandi.
Ganesh asks Mahadev about a problem which may occur in future, he is sensing it strongly, who is he? He is Andhak's son, answeres Mahadev.
Andhak's son is doing tough penance standing on 1 feet, surrounded by fire. Naradji praises him for such a penanace. Brhmaji says he was under Daitya mata Diti's care. What he's grasped from her & what qualities of his father are dominating him is to be seen in nearest future. Mansa too is curious about everything. Brhmaji says, often parents answer their child's question with their limited knowledge. Mansa wants to find out her answers that's a good way of learning.
Mansa is grown up, is around 7 to 8 year old girl now. She is missing from Naag loka. Rishi Halahal is worried about her being at Mrityu loka. He prays to Mahahdev, till now he's been able to keep her calm. But her curiosity & reasoning may expose her as an unusual child to others & if she is not able to control her anger, that may be an additional problem.
Mansa is on Earth, she is standing at a crowd where people have gathered seeing a sadhu. He tells tehm to ask any question. He'll answer them as he is Trikal gyani. Also offer him gifts while asking questions. Do it soon as he has Lunch appointment with Brhmaji & after that he has to solve Suryadev's problem. People are impressed. Mansa comes foreword. Sadhu declares he'll answer her questions. She asks him what is the question she will be asking him. Sadhu gets angry. She says if you are Trikal gyani, you must answer that or accept you are a fake sadhu. He gets angry, convinces people to ask her to leave or theye will be calamity. Mansa gets angry but calms down remembering her father's advice of controlling her anger.
Brhmaji appears in front of Andhak's son. He wants to complete some unfinished tasks of past, so asks to be immortal. Brhmaji grants him boon of who ever he'll touch, can convert himself in that form. He wishs to learn weapons.
Precap: Brhmaji tells Mahadev Andha's son wants to be trained in war arts.
Mahadev has called Parvati, Ganesh, kartikeya, Nandi etc. Paravti asks the reason for calling them.
