Ben Aris in Moscow -
Kolya is back in Moscow to interview for jobs. A Russian national, he has just graduated from Liverpool University with a degree in business. He also has a long-standing interest in aviation software, and has even sold some of his own developed products to Russian carrier Transaero. So far Kolya has had eight interviews and received eight offers, despite the fact that he just scraped in with a "third" from Liverpool.
Apart from his obvious skill in programming (a sellable skill in any market), Kolya would struggle to get a job in the UK with that degree, even in a boom. God forbid he should go looking in Spain or Portugal right now, where youth unemployment is at 50% and students with a top qualification from Oxbridge would find the going tough.
Russia's economy is booming, even if its businessmen remain glum and nervous about the future thanks to the never-ending Eurozone crisis story. Unemployment is down to a historical low of 5.4% of the working population, which president Vladimir Putin pointed out at the St Petersburg forum in June means all the production capacity is being utilized.
The tight labour market is already sending wages up, which were rising by 14% at the end of the first quarter on an annualized basis. And this has fed through into rising consumer confidence and robust growth for retail borrowing, which was up a whopping 43% in May.
Indeed, the Kremlin released a whole bunch of economic data in early July that shows the economy is in robust health (for the moment). The windfall Reserve Fund was supposed to be emptied by the crisis by the end of 2010, but is now at just under RUB2 trillion ($60bn), whilst National Welfare Fund (used to support social spending) is brimming over at RUB2.8 trillion.
Russia's external debt has risen slightly, to $585bn, which sees it marginally above the country's gross international reserves of $513bn as of the end of June, but this just means that Russia can practically cover its debt dollar-for-dollar in liquid cash. By way of contrast, most Western economies have national debts of 100% of GDP - if not far in excess - these days. Meanwhile, even Russia's drastic capital outflow is finally slowing, and is expected to drop to $9.5bn in the second quarter, following a $43bn outflow in the first quarter.
All this has economists starting to ask if the economy is overheating. Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Russia Alexsei Ulyukaev says that consumer lending growth above 28% is a red flag for the economy, and Russia is well beyond that point. Analysts worry that the quality of loans is falling, which opens banks up to problems should another external shock emanate from Europe. However, nearly everyone agrees if this does happen the CBR has more than enough cash in reserve to prop the banks up and avoid a systemic financial crisis.
The black spot is in the corporate sector, where companies have already started to de-stock. One of the reasons the 2008 crisis was so painful was that companies were caught carrying high inventory to meet the burgeoning demand of a booming market. With the impact, they basically switched off their machines to save money, and sold that inventory instead.
The result was the economy came to a stand still literally overnight, resulting in contraction of over 7% in GDP in 2009. De-stocking took about six months to complete, after which companies had to turn their machines on again to meet new orders and the economy began to recover. This time round, fearing another (and possibility worse) meltdown in Europe, companies have already started de-stocking before the crisis has even appeared.
"As opposed to 2008, when strong consumption was accompanied by overheated industrial production growth, this year we see producers taking a much more cautious approach. In 2010-2011 the recovery of economic growth was 70% driven by stock building," said Natalia Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank. "However, starting in the fourth quarter of 2011, the Russian economy entered a de-stocking process. According to our estimates, in that quarter inventories contributed -0.2% to GDP growth and -0.4% in the first quarter of this year. This was the first sign that producers started to be cautious earlier than expected."
The horns of a dilemma
Russia finds itself in a strange position. Kolya's experience and the robust consumer demand means the economy is getting hot to the point where inflation is starting to rise. Price rises overshot the central bank's target of 4.1% last month, and left it struggling to keep inflation below last year's record low of 6.1%, as a weaker ruble stoked food costs and utility tariffs rose, economists in Moscow said. "What is surprising is how quickly headline inflation has reversed its deceleration," writes Alexander Morozov, chief economist at HSBC Holdings in Moscow. "The central bank's job of keeping inflation within its range is seen as 'mission impossible.'"
On the other hand, the behavior of companies suggests that the economy is slowing down. Industrial production in Russia took a nosedive in March (as it did in much of the rest of the world). This means the CBR should move to bolster confidence and encourage growth.
Put in simple terms the CBR sits on the horns of a dilemma. Should it increase interest rates to curb inflation and cool the economy; or ease monetary policy to encourage more investment and growth. The upshot is that the spread of growth forecasts for 2012 ranges far and wide, from 3% - 5%. When spreads on forecasts get this wide it means the experts are basically clueless about what will happen next.
To be fair, the current strong growth is fragile, particularly given the uncertainty over global oil prices. Current oil prices of around $100 are pumping money into the economy, which is feeding through to consumer demand. However, because of the lack of reforms and investment in Russia, if oil prices fall - and the government is adding a $60 scenario to its budget planning even though it's main assumption is for an average price of $115 for this year - then that would quickly take the wind out of the economy's sails. But that has always been Russia's problem.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation announced changes to a key intersection on the Lincoln-Harrison Neighborhood Greenway yesterday. They also announced a delay for the infamous traffic diverter planned at 50th and Lincoln.
The project to update and improve this route began late last summer. It was triggered by concerns that the amount of people driving on what is supposed to be a “low-stress, family-friendly, bike route” was too high. The high speeds of auto users also drew the attention of PBOT staff.
The intersection of 30th (where Lincoln becomes Harrison going west) is offset. As such, it has a wide profile that encourages speeding and unsafe driving behaviors. From the get-go, advocates urged PBOT to “square up” the corners to force people to make slower turns. There was also support to prevent people from turning onto Lincoln/Harrison from 30th in order to reduce the overall number of drivers on the greenway.
They new design prevents people from turning eastbound onto Lincoln from 30th or going straight from Harrison. Medians and plastic delineator wants on the southwest corner will slow down auto users while providing pass-through spaces for bicycle riders and walkers.
PBOT says this new design was created in response to community feedback and that it will, “further tighten the intersection and provide shorter crossings for pedestrians.”
At 50th and Lincoln, installation of diverters will be delayed due to the traffic management and paving plans of the contractor hired for a repaving project on 50th between Division and Hawthorne. PBOT wants to make sure any data they collect about traffic impacts due to the new diverter isn’t tainted by closures related to the repaving project. The diverters were initially slated to be installed on an interim basis this spring. Now PBOT says the construction will happen late summer with the permanent diverter to be built in spring of 2019.
In a statement about the delay, PBOT said they weren’t able to anticipate this conflict because they thought the paving project would work in sections and not have to close any lanes. Since a lane will be periodically closed, they felt it best to wait until after the paving project is completed. Learn more about the project on PBOT’s website.

Madagascar is a charming walk on the wild side, a warm, sprightly and imaginative computer-animated story that actually seems as if it's interested in entertaining rather than bludgeoning.

It doesn't waste time with over-the-top villains, epic showdowns and Very Important Lessons to learn. Unpretentious and lively, it just wants to have fun. And it does.
It's not as manic as many animated movies, not as intent on cramming pop-culture allusions and rapid-fire jokes into every scene. Its best jokes - and there are many good jokes - kind of come up on you sideways, like the four penguins who waddle in and steal the movie from their bigger, top-of-the-poster stars.
Madagascar is aimed at children more than adults, and I say that's about time. Still, there's plenty there for parents to enjoy as well; the humor is offbeat, the dialogue is clever and the characters (especially the supporting characters) are wacky and memorable.
Dreamworks' Madagascar isn't quite up to the level of the best of its competitors, Pixar. But it's a worthy companion to Dreamworks' Shrek movies and light years better than the studio's woeful Shark Tale.
Madagascar starts off well and keeps its zippy pace going all the way to the end. Watch for the Planet of the Apes spoof - it's priceless. And wait until the penguins finally get a look at Antarctica. It's as cleverly staged a gag as we've seen all year, at least.

Get ready to step back in time. Dinosaurs are taking over Dorney Park!
The rumble and roar of construction equipment is nothing compared to what's lurking in the Jurassic-themed exhibit.
Dinosaurs Alive! is Dorney Park's latest attraction. Workers are well ahead of schedule in installing the life-sized prehistoric reptiles.
As guests walk along more than 2,000 feet of paths, they'll get to see 37 different dinos!
"Ranging in size from some juvenile dinosaurs, who are about my size, all the way up to 40 feet tall," explained Jason McClure, Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom's general manager and vice president.
All of the animatronics are built to scale, and some of the dinos on the path are also interactive. Guests will get to control how they move their face, head, neck, body and tail!
The prehistoric giants roar, stomp and terrify, displaying what life was like when they walked the earth.
"The dinosaurs are grouped in scenes, so it's got an educational component," said McClure. "The scenes explain how the dinosaurs interacted with each other and how they turned into fossils."
Walking among the dinosaurs can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Near the end of the attraction, kids can even get hands on trying out their own fossil dig. Park officials said it's a very family oriented exhibit.
"When you get back into the wooded area you kind of even forget your at an amusement park anymore, it's a truly separate experience."
Dinosaurs Alive! will debut on April 28, which is opening day for the amusement park. Tickets will cost you $5 on top of regular park admission.

Sure, playing Call of Duty at home is fun – but have you ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a hotel with some of the world’s best equipment and a game at your fingertips?
Wonder no more! Trendy hotel brand W introduced its special Gaming Suite in November at its London branch, which has the distinction of being the first in the UK and combines “the sense of casual gaming with the luxury of world hospitality”: basically, W London has taken the position. Bandit suite and a whole load of hi-tech comforts.
With the election season now extended to July 31, now is the perfect time to pay a visit.
But is it the best place to play? I set out to find out.
The first thing that strikes you when you walk into the W London Gaming Suite is the sheer amount of hardware on display.
It is from the top in CyberPower PC game that downloads games in a thread. There’s also an Xbox Series X/S, though, weirdly no seats, making this feel like some kind of incomplete gaming setup.
The best feature, however, has to be the Samsung 55 “Oyssea Box”. With its huge, curved screen and insanely good graphics, it makes gaming — especially shooters — a dream. I don’t think I’ve ever done it that well, although the graphics for Halo or Call of Duty sometimes struggled to do justice to its immense size.
After all, a gamer — and especially an awesome streamer — has all of these things you need anyway, and then some.
Do you want a mic? This one illustrates it. There the lighting (and the camera) is arranged so that all the streams appear spectacular; The chair — a Secretlab TITAN Evo 2022, no less — feels like sitting on a cloud. Even the desk — a Large Metallic model from Secretlab can be adjusted for height and has a soft leather surface for your arms to rest on.
In terms of games, it is accompanied by a wide range of popular ones (think Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Fifa) but usefully, you can also request that they be joined prior to your arrival – or even by using the hotel. Xbox Game Pass when you come.
Are they washed away alone? The hotel’s WiFi didn’t quite keep up with online gaming speeds. Games like Halo’s struggled to make online players on the Xbox a significant amount of time — though, once the actual game was received, it wasn’t a problem.
It is a place
The Game Suite is located right in the heart of London – and when I say heart, I mean windows overlooking Leicester Square. It’s located in the LATRO W London Suite, which is pretty gorgeous: you can control the lighting and music from one of the many iPads, a huge bathroom, and a huge bed. The suite is divided into two, one side comprising the living area (and game set up) and the other, the bed.
W has also helpfully designed specific tables for those who are too deep into their game to want to leave their room. Entitled ‘Brain Boosters’, that’s quite accurate: the food offering (besides the standard dining/dining options) is gradually getting more trendy than the full on meals.
We went for a bunch of Bao Buns but, for the healthy conscious, there are Mana Lion’s mushroom drinks, cocoa granola bars, and sometimes balls (like some cocktails) to stick in. three chickens – and also, of course, good for boosting concentration.
Is the W Gaming Suite a fun way to spend a night or two? Absolutely. Even if you’re not a professional gamer, sitting in front of that huge screen, surrounded by a swirl of lights, makes you feel like royalty, like video game royalty.
The only drawback is perhaps the necessary cost. Is it worth going? With prices starting at £1500 a night, it’s unlikely if you live in London, especially considering a decent PC game will set you back significantly less. Plus, this is not the best place to bring friends: there are two Xbox controllers, but everything else is provided for one person, from the chair (one) to the big screen (also one).
But if you’re a fast streamer on the move — and you want to access the best gear while you’re on the go — then there’s no better place to be. Plus, did I mention the huge TV screen? That concession alone is almost worth the price.
More information about the W London Gaming Suite, including booking details, can be found here this.

CEO Marjin Dekkers will be leaving Bayer at the end of 2016, the company announced Tuesday.
"In line with his own wishes, the contract of Dr. Marijn Dekkers will be extended by just two years on expiration of the initial five-year period. Dekkers cited family reasons for extending his contract only until the end of 2016," the company said in a statement.
Dekkers, 56, joined Bayer in 2010 after serving as president and CEO of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
Bayer said to ensure continuity in key aspects of its future development, its Supervisory Board has appointed CFO Werner Baumann to serve as chief strategy and portfolio officer effective Oct. 1. Baumann's existing contract runs until Dec. 31, 2017.
Johannes Dietsch, senior Bayer representative and CFO for Greater China, will succeed Baumann as CFO. He will be appointed to Bayer's Board of Managers effective Sept. 1.
“We are pleased that Dr. Dekkers, under whose leadership Bayer has continued its very positive development, will remain with us for a further two years," Werner Wenning, chairman of the Supervisory Board said in a prepared statement. "At the same time, today’s resolutions lay the foundation for the sustained future development of our company and see us well placed in the long term in the areas of strategy and portfolio management."

North Shore railway station
Southbound view in April 2008, broad gauge platform on the left, standard gauge on the right
|Location||Station Street, North Shore
Great Southern Rail
|Distance||67.17 kilometres from Southern Cross|
|Platforms||3 (1 island, 1 side)|
|Fare zone||Myki Zone 3/4 Overlap|
|Website||Public Transport Victoria|
|Opened||15 April 1895|
Although some references say the station opened on 15 April 1895, an 1857 map shows a station named Cowies Creek on the current site, which by the 1880s was called North Shore. In 1909, the station was briefly renamed Corio, reverting back to North Shore in 1913. In the 1920s various other names, related to the industrial expansion in the area, were suggested for the station, including Jelbart, Pivot and Ford. In 1930, the Minister for Railways announced that the station's name would change to Pivot, but that was never carried out.
In the early 1950s, the station was reduced to being staffed by a caretaker, responsible to the stationmaster at Corio. In February 1959, the former single line was duplicated from North Geelong to Corio, and North Shore was re-built as an island platform, 200 metres to the north of the old station. The previous group of standard country railway buildings was replaced by a small wooden office and waiting room. After being damaged by fire in 1990, the building was replaced by two metal bus shelters.
In 1995, the Western standard gauge line was built to the western side of the station. It is used by freight trains to and from Adelaide, with a short platform provided for The Overland passenger service opening in May 1999.
In 2016, the station was embroiled in controversy as it was discovered that an amateur porn video was shot on location by two Geelong teenagers. The film entitled Trainline Tramp was discovered by line train operator V-line in November who swiftly condemned the behaviour in the strongest possible terms. The video remains live on pornographic video sharing website Pornhub.

I very much welcomed Jan Nielsen’s review of The Yorkshire Ripper Files: A Very British Crime Story (May SR).
It is a powerful film and pulls no punches as to how prejudice and ineptitude of the police, politicians and the media of the day were fundamental to Peter Sutcliffe’s success in evading arrest for so long.
The film rightly debunks the commonly held view that the serial killer was targeting sex workers out of some psychotic belief that God was directing him to do so. Instead what we see is that he aimed to abuse and kill women and that his targeting of prostitutes in the impoverished north was clinically cynical; they were the most vulnerable.
The documentary shows the towns Sutcliffe preyed on, once thriving manufacturing towns, now left decimated by the actions of a ruthless tory government, whose only advice to those left looking for work was to “get on your bikes” and leave.
Such areas would quickly become in the eyes of uncaring police, politicians and media, “problem communities” and “no go zones” frequented by crime, sleaze and untrustworthy peoples. Such attitudes all played a part in the investigation, such as when the police ignored important testimonies and witness descriptions by survivors. The consequence of this was that Sutcliffe was able to evade arrest for longer and kill more women.
Instead of protecting sex workers, the police and politicians’ response was to arrest them and thus drive the trade even further underground and make it more precarious.
Sutcliffe, like many other serial killers, went after those that were most vulnerable — abandoned people, society’s “rejects” who can’t go to the police or, if they do, won’t be taken seriously.
There are essential comparisons to be made here with abuse scandals such as Rochdale and Rotherham and questions to be asked about a society that fails to protect its vulnerable. It is a shame that our media decides instead to use such abuses to whip up racism and Islamophobia.
This makes The Yorkshire Ripper Files even more essential viewing.

The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
Brazil superstar Neymar has thrown his backing behind compatriot Richarlison in Friday’s newspapers.
The PSG ace told evertonfc.com that he intends to help the Everton forward “achieve his goals”, with the story also appearing in both the Liverpool Echo and Daily Mail.
Elsewhere, former Everton captain Kevin Ratcliffe tells the Echo that the Blues “have their identity back” and that skipper Phil Jagielka still has a role to play despite not starting in the team of late.
The local read also picks out five talking points from the season so far.
The secret behind Jordan Pickford’s penalty-saving heroics also features in the Echo, while in the Irish Independent, Republic of Ireland captain Seamus Coleman has told his teammates that their recent form must improve after their 0-0 draw with neighbours Northern Ireland on Thursday.

Many chiropractors focus on conditions originating from the spine. Many have become spine specialists dealing mostly with patients with neck and low back pain. What many chiropractors fail to address are conditions and dysfunction of the rest of the neuromusculoskeletal system apart from the spine. The objective at Myers Chiropractic & Functional Health is to treat the entire neuromuskuloskeletal system including the spine but also including joints, muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves from the rest of the body. In fact, a large majority of our cases involve injuries of the extremities and are not limited to just the spine.
The unique aspect of Myers Chropractic & Functional Health is our scientific philosophy and our comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of the entire neuromusculoskeletal system.
There are approximately 639 skeletal muscles in the human body. Nearly all movement in our bodies are influenced by muscles yet a medical specialty designated to muscle conditions and dysfunction does not exist. This is a void that Dr. Myers is attempting to fill. Active Release Technique® (A.R.T.®), Graston® Techniques, FAKTR Mehtod, Fascial Abrasion Techniques (Fat Tool) and Dry Needling is what will fill this void. Although we have many athletes that seek out our office because of the special focus we place on soft tissue injuries involving the entrie body, it is just as effective with non-sports related injuries like overuse repetitive injuries that occur at the workplace as well for prolonged sitting and stooping.
The neuromusculoskeletal system consists of three distinct yet intertwined systems. The philosophy at Myers Chiropractic & Functional Health is that all three parts are equally important, thus all three must be addressed in treatment. We believe that the combination of the chiropractic adjustment, myofascial release work, and rehabilitation is the most comprehensive system of treating conditions of the neuromusculoskeletal system.
During the initial phase of treatment Dr. Myers will take the time to teach his patients particular exercises, stretches or mobility movements to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of the treatments provided at our office.
After the patient's pain has been alleviated, it is important to rehabilitate the body or injured area. This is done to restore optimal functionng to the body and to prevent the issue from returning. A specific rehabilitation program, which will usually consist of stretches and strengthening exercises, will be tailored to each individual. Following the rehabilitation of an injury, not only will the physical aspects be improved, but also the mental, psychological, and sociological aspects of your life as well.
Myers Chiropractic offers several modalities to complement and enhance the treatment procedures listed above. These include: frequency specific microcurrent (FSM), ultrasound, interferential electrical muscle stimulation, intersegmental traction, mechanical traction, cervical traction, moist heat therapy, and cryotherapy.
Supplements are not only important in the healing process, but also in the prevention of disease. In principle, the goal of any holistic treatment approach is to support and strengthen your body so that it can manage on its own. In practice, however, there are several reasons why many people can benefit from a good quality, natural supplement. You may believe that if you eat a balanced diet that you should be getting all of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. This is often incorrect. You usually can't get everything from your food. Our Western diet consists of food that is overly processed, hormone-pumped, high in sugar, low in fiber, and lacking proper nutrition due to a depletion in nutrients in our agricultural soil.
You may not guess how much impact a trace mineral deficiency can have until you have started a supplement regimen, and find that you have more energy and awareness, as well as fewer aches and pains. Many people also benefit from supplements due to the stress of daily living. At the speed our lives move today, stress is a major factor in illness and fatigue. In fact, it has been reported that we have 500 times more stressors affecting us than our grandparents did. We can not manage this by diet alone, there needs to be some additional support.
Please note that there are thousands of supplements available, but not all of them are natural, of good quality, or easily absorbed by the human body. Some of the synthesized vitamins pass right through you with no benefit; others can even be toxic (even the "natural" ones: natural does not always mean "safe"). We carry only products that use high quality and pure ingredients manufactured with exceptionally strict standards.

WI Bow Hunter Bags a Buck Opening Week
Calvin Krusick had a nice surprise during the opening week of the Wisconsin bow season. Calvin is a friend of the team here at MorningMoss and is not usually known for his success rate when it comes to white tails. Usually, Calvin spends his time in a bow stand sleeping or snap chatting potential female suitors, but last week a deer that had some head gear walked by and to everyone’s surprise, he managed to put an arrow in it.
Shantytown, Wisconsin Buck Shot
All kidding aside, Calvin put down a nice buck in Shantytown, Wisconsin last week. The deer was a 10 pointer that Calvin has had trail camera photos of for a couple of years. He thinks that it’s a 3 year old and the deer taped out at 135 inches. It has an 18 1/2 inch spread and a nice big body on it.
Congrats Calvin and good luck the rest of the season. Be sure to send your trophy deer photos to us by submitting them to MorningMoss.

"Once Upon a Time" The Heart of the Truest Believer (TV Episode ) - IMDb
Really loved the idea of turning familiar fairy tales on their heads and putting own interpretations on them and the show early on clearly had clearly had a ball. Watched it without fail every time it came on and it was often a highlight of the week. Which was why it was sad when it ran out of ideas and lost its magic in the later seasons.
After the brilliant previous episode "Save Henry", one of the best episodes of Season 3 and even among the best 'Once Upon a Time' episodes or at least of the early seasons that had everything that makes 'Once Upon a Time' so addictive and what it stands for, "The New Neverland" is something of a disappointment.
Not a disappointment in that it's terrible, actually it's pretty decent.
It's disappointing in that after such brilliance in "Save Henry" it doesn't live up to as high a quality, among the season's lesser episodes for me and that it contains a few of the faults that can be present in 'Once Upon a Time' and generally what Season 3 had been generally good at not doing.
Starting with "The New Neverland's" issues, some will not be satisfied in that not much seems to have moved forward in both characterisation and storytelling, a notable exception being the whole stuff with Peter and Henry a shock when first introduced and it's developing nicely. There is not much new here and not many surprises, some of it reinforces what is already known for instance the Snow White, Charming and Regina plot line feels like it's going round in circlesmaking things feel somewhat predictable.
Once upon a time s03e10 online dating
Found also that there was an over-reliance on the flashbacks, which were significantly less interesting than the rest of the episode. The basic story though is dull and things feel somewhat repetitive.
My next complaint is going to seem to some people more like a nit-pick, but it is hard not to say anything when it is so distracting that it takes you out of the episode and jars with everything else. It may sound as if "The New Neverland" was bad. There were some not so good episodes especially "In the Name of the Brother" and "Tiny" and ones that should have been great but only decent.
The introductions of new characters and their stories had mixed success, mostly successful but there was sometimes a trying to do too much vibe.
There were also however some really interesting ideas and plot developments that actually progressed, cleverer connections between fairy tale flashbacks and Storybrooke plotting, efforts in giving more dimension to characters and forwarding their development and generally the writing and acting came on such a long way since 'Once Upon a Time' first started. Season 3's premiere "The Heart of the Truest Believer" doesn't do anything to waste what was set up before, the plotting and characters continue to forward in development and even with a lot going on and having a lot of elements and characters over-stuffing is far from an issue here.
The story is told in a way that's darkly twisted fresh and entertaining. And there is a very interesting, and not disrespectful considering the premise of the show, interpretation of Peter.
The Good Place season 3 episode When does the series return? - Mirror Online
This Peter is a darker, more manipulative but also conflicted, with questionable motivations but ones where it's not so hard seeing how he came to be that way, version, not the reasonably likeable and mischievous but flawed and cocky Peter Barrie imagined and that fans are used to. Other standouts are the opening with Emma here a likeable and relatable character, not the frustrating one from Season 2 and how Rumplestiltskin is used, always one of 'Once Upon a Time's' best characters but portraying him with not having not so obvious motivations and not being part of the group gave him a lot of distinction.
The existing characters have enough to do too and there is a lot going on but handled very neatly and not in a way that feels convoluted or like "too many cooks spoil the broth". The connections between fairy tale and reality and past and present continue to be neatly done and cohesive. Can't fault the acting, especially Robert Carlyle enjoying himself hugely as alwaysRobbie Kay and Jennifer Morrison with the best acting she did up to this point of 'Once Upon a Time', one feels sorry for Emma here and relates to her emotional situation.

Continue? Reforms haven't even begun yet
June 07, 2004
With Manmohan Singh taking over at the helm, a predictable chorus has erupted that this is a signal that the Congress intends to continue with the 'reforms' advocated by the outgoing Vajpayee government. This view is expressed with a sigh of relief usually, as if to suggest that there should be no fear of resurgent Left parties restraining the economic direction of the country too much. We have invested too much in the direction set by Vajpayee (and before that by Singh himself), this argument goes, and it is important that an economic course for which all parties have shown support shouldn't be altered. The reforms, we are told repeatedly and insistently, must continue.
Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything is to be read to the verdict of Elections 2004, it is precisely the opposite. Whatever label political parties may have attached to the dominant economic trend of the last decade -- liberalisation, globalisation, reforms, etc -- the voters have consistently given it the thumbs down. There is not a single political event in India since the IMF-enforced changes in policy that the people have rewarded unequivocally at the ballot box. If there is one thing that the current prime minister can be said to have in common with the outgoing government, it is this: in each case, their five-year stewardship of much-touted acceleration in the nation's economic prospects ended with a sudden brake applied by the people.
Whenever the people have had the opportunity to comment (electorally, that is) on the agenda brought before them, they have provided the same answer. No to the mindless destruction of national assets in the name of efficiency. No to the prioritisation that puts the wealth of a few before the livelihood of millions. No to distorted spending by the states and the Centre that has connected a small minority to the information economy and abandoned everyone else to Middle Age standards of health and income.
But of course, the problem is -- and has been for some years now -- that nobody really asked the people. Elections have become minor concessions to the Constitution, and their results do not actually separate one set of choices from another. This election struck a new low, even for parties that are exceptionally good at non-choices. One leader who didn't want to be the leader, but wouldn't say until the very last moment who she would handpick instead. And another leader who plainly wouldn't have lasted five years, but was also not going to say who might be riding on his coattails.
Everything has been globalised except our consent, George Monbiot points out in his provocative book The Age of Consent. Monbiot, a regular with The Guardian of the UK, argues that the economic and social order which now dictates so much of our existence has been completely monopolised by financial interests and their political henchmen everywhere. These profiteers, however, have carefully preserved a veneer of democracy around their agenda to give themselves the appearance of legitimacy. Indian elections were simply the latest cheerleading stop along this charade.
The irony is that in faraway Britain, Monbiot 'interpreted' the results in Andhra Pradesh as a public revolt against the economic agenda of the outgoing Naidu government, but in Andhra itself the incoming replacement was eager to reassure the world that it would continue precisely those policies, but adding a 'human touch.'
These convenient interpretations of the results are just that -- convenient, but nowhere near the truth. People don't want a 'human face' on these reforms -- it is noteworthy that no one ever bothers to say what s/he means by this, except in very vague and general terms -- and they certainly don't want current policies and processes to be tweaked to penetrate even deeper into the rural areas or among the urban poor.
Voters want this whole agenda cancelled, and they want genuine reforms to begin. They want governments to address the real concerns of the poor -- lack of access to credit, inadequate state support for basic needs, mounting unemployment, and continuing social shackles. And they want this to be done in a direct way, not as the indirect by-product in some shoddy economic theory from which even the little they now have appears to trickle away.
If 7 percent economic growth isn't enough to produce trickle-down effects fast enough to satisfy the voters, how much faster do you think the economy -- any economy -- can grow, if this is the route to prosperity we are set on? We must abandon the pursuit of indirect effects, ie, don't wait for investment in urban communities to drive limited local prosperity and thereafter lift social and economic standards more broadly. Instead, invest in the social objectives directly. Build schools, health centres, hospitals, and such in rural areas, and fund their staff.
The huge hit on the stock market is revealing; it shows as nothing else can to the investing classes how much of the economic 'growth' they take pride in is really a redistribution of wealth to the privileged. If 'reforms' are irreversible and necessary, why -- despite assurance of their continuation -- is there such panic? Dr Singh, if he plans to avoid a second drubbing of his economic policies in five years, would do well to sit down and ask himself: what have the people really said in this election?
Many of the pressing questions before the outgoing administration will remain before this one too. Is interlinking rivers finally, and mercifully, dead? Are WTO and domestic reforms in agriculture a priority? Is development funding going to further shrink as money is poured into building yet more weaponry that can never be used? Who are you going to hit with the 23rd nuclear weapon anyway?
Without real reforms, five years from now (if not sooner) the Congress will simply be at the receiving end of the same misinterpretations it now makes. Any attempt to put a human face on reforms that are nothing of that sort is more likely to result in another round of egg on its face. Honest reform must address the policies that lend themselves to change --embracing transparency in the use of public funds, investing meaningful oversight authority in regulatory agencies charged with protecting the environment, agriculture, and the nation's trading interests, setting benchmarks for State investments to lift socio-economic indicators, and accountability for failures. To blame failed outcomes on faulty implementation alone is to deliberately ignore that the people are dismayed by the policies themselves.
A last word for those who gained even more from these elections than the Congress, namely the Left parties. Their preference to stay outside the government and simply offer their support is abdication, plain and simple. In any election, people do not cast their ballot to only make sure that chosen leaders represent their interests. They also vote with the belief that those chosen by the process would be most accountable to them for representing those interests. A political party without any intention of joining a government it supports has no business running for office in the first place. Any genuine advocacy of its policies must include an earnest effort by the Left to administer them as well, not simply give itself the option to vote other people's choices up or down. That kind of irresponsibility is already well managed by the Congress and the BJP, and needs no further allies.


The gift will support the center's relocation from Suffolk University — where many of its programs have existed since its launch in 2000 — to the Boston College School of Law and will fund the center's operations when it opens there in the spring of 2015. The center, which focuses on public policy issues that affect Greater Boston and the state of Massachusetts, will house the Rappaport Fellows Program in Law and Public Policy, which provides summer internships to talented students from seven Greater Boston law schools, and the Rappaport Distinguished Public Policy Series, which will support scholarly research and host lectures, debates, and roundtable discussions. In addition, the gift, the largest in the 85-year history of BC Law, will support the Jerome Lyle Rappaport Visiting Professorship in Law and Public Policy.
"There is a critical need for serious discussion and study of law and public policy issues," said Boston College Law School dean Vincent Rougeau. "The center represents an extraordinary opportunity for Boston College and the Rappaport Foundation to work together to elevate our public discourse and to produce thoughtful, ethical, and innovative public servants for the commonwealth and the nation."
"The Rappaport Center is dedicated to change, and the way in which you achieve the maximum impact of change is by enabling emerging leaders to realize how effectively they can participate in policy and decision making," said Jerry Rappaport, who began his involvement in public policy while a student at Harvard College and Harvard Law School. "That was the beginning of our quest through the foundation, and it remains our hope for the future through our new association with BC Law."

You maybe aware that New Zealand is currently experiencing the effects of a global veterinarian shortage which is impacting all veterinary businesses including Vetora BOP. For us to continue to offer the best possible care for your pets, we need to look after our staff who are doing their best to look after you.
Provision of an on-call veterinarian after-hours emergency service for small animals is currently offered following a normal day’s work which in itself is demanding. If on-call, your vet will often receive multiple calls at any hour of the night and be expected to front up to work the next day ready to tackle any task that may come through the door. For us to continue to provide the best possible care for your pet, we need to ensure we also care for your vet.
This is proving a challenge with the current vet shortage, so we will be making changes to our Rotorua clinic opening hours, and to our Rotorua small animal after-hours service that we believe will provide you with a better standard of care overall.
As a result, we are extending our Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday Rotorua clinic hours, closing Sunday, and referring Rotorua small animal after-hours emergency calls to the Bay After Hours Veterinary Hospital based in Tauranga. Our Large Animal Farm service will continue to operate as normal.
Bay After Hours is a dedicated referral hospital with staff on-hand who are immediately available for weeknight and weekend small animal emergency veterinary services. With this specialist service for after-hours emergency calls, your pet will continue to receive the best care possible, whilst relieving our team of current demands.
Opening hours of Vetora BOP- Rotorua clinic effective from Saturday 14 May 2022.
Monday 8:00am to 5:30pm
Tuesday 8:00am to 7:00pm
Wednesday 8:00am to 5:30pm
Thursday 8:00am to 7:00pm
Friday 8:00am to 5:30pm
Saturday 9:00am to 3:00pm
After-hours emergency calls for small animals will now be served by;

Sugarcane farmers from the tarai who have not been paid by various sugar mills for their crops, stage a demonstration at New Baneshwar on Monday demanding government intevention. Monika Malla/Republica
KATHMANDU, Dec 31: Sugarcane farmers, who have not been paid by the sugar mills for their crops, are staging a sit-in in the capital since the past four days. However, neither the government nor the sugar mills have done anything to address their grievance.
Sugarcane farmers said the mills are yet to clear outstanding payments for the past five years amounting to Rs 1.33 billion. According to them, it is mainly six sugar mills that have been refusing to clear their dues.
The farmers have yet to recover Rs 420 million from Shree Ram Sugar Mills, Rs 400 million from Annapurna Sugar Mills, Rs 200 million from Mahalaxmi Sugar Mills, Rs 110 million from Bagmati Sugar Mills and Rs 100 million each from Indira Sugar Mills and Lumbini Sugar Mills, among others.
Ram Bilas Mahato, a farmer in his 70s, said he has not gotten full payment from Annapurna Sugar Mills since 2015/16. “I have bank loans worth millions and the bank has threatened to auction my property if I do not pay up,” he said.
Thirteen sugar mills are operating across the country. From time to time, the government has been directed the mills to pay the farmers on time, but to little effect. Although this year’s cane harvest season has already begun, the farmers have felt compelled to come all the way to the capital to pressure the government over their plight.
Hari Shyam Raya, secretary of the cane farmers’ action committee, said around 150 farmers are now in Kathmandu for their protest. According to him, Annapurna Sugar Mills has not paid the farmers for the past five years.
Raya said that last June the farmers staged a hunger strike in Sarlahi. “During multilateral talks in the presence of the chief district officer, the sugar mills agreed to clear their dues to farmers within one month,” he said. “But the mill owners have since been paying them peanuts and they stopped paying at all since the last two months.”
Raya said around 25,000 farmers are now left high and dry by the sugar mills. According to him, for the last two weeks they have been trying to get through to the mill owners including Rakesh Agrawal, director of Annapurna Sugar Mills, and Birendra Kanaudia, proprietor of Mahalaxmi Sugar Mills, but with no success. Last year, police arrested Agarwal from his residence at Tripureshwar, Kathmandu on the charge of not paying the sugarcane farmers.
Sugar mills for their part have long been blaming the import of cheaper sugar for their inability to pay the farmers on time. Sashi Kant Agrawal, president of the Sugar Producers Association, said that domestic sugar mills have piled up stocks of sugar as the market was flooded by imports from India and Pakistan two years ago. “Sugar mills have been unable to sell their stock and that has led to the delay in paying the farmers,” he said.
Cane farmers are on the war path but the government has not taken any firm measures to relieve their plight. Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development Ghanashyam Bhusal said at a function on Monday they are trying to contact the sugar mills. “However, they have not come into contact,” he said.
House panel tells govt to crack down on defaulting sugar mills
Parliament’s Industry, Commerce, Labor and Consumer Welfare Committee on Monday directed the government to help farmers get paid by the sugar mills.
The committee has also told the government to take stern action against defaulting mills.

BRUSSELS, May 2 2008 (IPS) - Collusion between European Union governments and a secret U.S. torture and kidnapping programme has damaged the EU’s efforts to promote human rights throughout the world, an internal paper drawn up by Brussels officials has admitted.
In 2001, the EU approved guidelines on how diplomats representing it should raise concern over the ill-treatment of detainees with the authorities in foreign countries. These guidelines stemmed from a stated commitment to “carry out systematic and sustained action in the fight against torture.”
A new EU assessment of how the guidelines are being applied acknowledges that some governments have accused the Union of double standards because some of its member states have been implicated in the so-called extraordinary rendition scheme operated by the Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S.
The internal paper, seen by IPS, recommends special efforts to “strengthen EU credibility”.
It says that “coherence needs to be assured” between the EU’s stance against torture during its foreign policy work and its own track record on protecting human rights within the Union’s own borders. “Full respect” for human rights should be guaranteed when formulating policies designed to fight terrorism, and expulsion of foreigners should not occur in cases where there is a likelihood they will be tortured, persecuted or murdered once they return to their home countries, the paper adds.
David Miliband, the British foreign secretary, confessed in February that two CIA planes used in the kidnapping and torture programme had landed in Diego Garcia, a British-controlled island in the Indian Ocean, in 2002. This was a reversal of previous denials by the London government that CIA flights had landed on British territory.
A 2007 report by an inquiry committee in the European Parliament concluded that at least 1,245 CIA flights passed through European airspace or stopped at the continent’s airports between the end of 2001 and the end of 2005.
Claude Moraes, a British Labour politician who sat on the Parliament’s committee, said that the result of the EU’s collusion with the CIA is “a credibility gap when we lecture other countries about torture.
“The allegations are not going away,” he added, referring to reports in late April that the British security service MI5 had “outsourced” torture of United Kingdom citizens to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI).
Several British nationals arrested in Pakistan have been quoted as saying they were severely beaten by ISI agents before being interrogated by men believed to work for MI5.
Chloe Davies from Reprieve, an organisation that has carried out detailed research into the CIA’s activities, said that Europe’s reputation as a defender of human rights has been tarnished.
“Little by little European powers’ collusion in the kidnap, rendition and torture of terrorist suspects is coming to light,” she said. “We now know that the CIA operated ‘black sites’ in Poland, Romania and apparently even on British territory in Diego Garcia.
“On many occasions CIA aircraft have been allowed to land on or cross European territory, en route to the kidnap and rendition of ghost prisoners to torture in secret prisons in countries like Syria, Jordan and Egypt. In addition European governments have allowed hundreds of prisoners to be ferried through their jurisdiction to illegal imprisonment, torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment in Guantanamo Bay (the U.S.-run camp in Cuba).”
The internal EU paper also recognises that there has been criticism of flaws in the EU rules aimed at preventing the export of equipment used for torture or the death penalty.
While these rules were introduced in 2005, a report by Amnesty International published last year found that loopholes in them meant that spiked batons known as ‘sting sticks’ used by the Chinese police and ‘hanging ropes’ used for executions in Sri Lanka, India, and Trinidad and Tobago could still be traded.
Since the Amnesty report was issued, the British government has undertaken to ban export of spiked batons and to work with other EU governments to curb the export of torture tools not explicitly covered by the 2005 rules. Amnesty had cited examples of British-made hanging ropes being used to execute prisoners in Trinidad and Tobago and of handcuffs engraved ‘made in England’ used to shackle detainees in Guantanamo Bay to walls and ceilings.

NUFDI is a non-profit, non-partisan organization made up of Iranian-Americans of all backgrounds dedicated to the cause of justice who closely follow events in their home country of Iran. Those events are defined by the Iranian people’s ongoing fight for justice, democracy, and equality. We view it as our responsibility to promote their demands for the same rights that we enjoy as American citizens.
The Iranian people’s movement is one which demands the fundamental right of free and fair elections and non-discrimination on the basis of gender, religion, sexual orientation, or economic or social status. It insists on the humane treatment of all prisoners, on due process of law, and on the rights of free speech, assembly, and religion. It rejects the regressive notion of both social and political separatism and Balkanization and it believes that this transition must be brought about through non-violence means as advocated by Prince Reza Pahlavi, the foremost and most consistent advocate of this cause. These are the values we have come to cherish as American citizens, and they are the same values the people of Iran seek to have for their own country.
To that end, NUFDI strives to empower Iranian-Americans to be a voice for those in Iran whose voices are silenced. By transmitting their stories, struggles, and aspirations to an American audience of policymakers, media, and concerned citizens, it is our hope that it may serve to better position our fellow Americans to understand and support the Iranian people as they fight to establish a free, democratic Iran.
NUFDI’s Core Values
- Dedication to Iran’s territorial integrity
- No war with Iran
- The right of Iranians to choose their political leaders and system via free and fair elections
- Humane treatment for and the immediate release of all prisoners of conscience
- Equality for every Iranian under the law regardless of gender, religion, sexual orientation, or economic status
- Freedom of speech, assembly, and religion
- Transparent and ethical governance
Our new logo is inspired by a bird in flight, a symbol of the Iranian people’s movement for liberation. The bird is also symbolic of our ancient heritage. Throughout Iranian history birds like the seemorgh, ghoghnoos, farvahar, and homa have represented our millenia-old civilization.
The logo also has its roots in the sun of Iran’s eternal lion and sun flag. Representing the sun that has always risen, and will again soon rise over Iran, the sun is a source of truth, justice, and light.

The Body that Casts Trippy Shadows
The Rev. Wiley Smith
Garments of skin, fire from heaven, water from a rock - some pretty funky stuff happened in the Old Testament - but these were all shadows being cast by one Body. Does God have/need a plan B? Was the all time plan "A" visible in the Garden of Eden? Am I a part of God's "A" plan? This breakaway session with Pr. Wiley James Smith will blow your mind as the pieces of the OT puzzle are assembled using the bloody cross as the lens that clarifies all theology.
Pastor Wiley Smith serves Christ the King Lutheran Church in Redlands, CA.
War In Heaven!
The Rev. Jeremy Rhode
"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought...and the dragon and his angels fought...so the great dragon was cast out...and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven: 'Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come ...'" (Revelation 12:7-12). What are angels? Who is Satan? What can we really know about the war in heaven? Many popular books and movies dabble with these themes, but this sectional will show you what Scripture actually teaches and it will give you the tools you need to separate the facts from the fiction.
Pastor Jeremy Rhode serves Faith Lutheran Church in Capistrano Beach, CA.
He Who Has Ears Let Him Hear...Because Everyone Else is Going to Hell
The Rev. Grant Knepper
The parables of Jesus are not cute little morality tales designed to tell you how to behave. They are subversive stories that that demand a response. Those who first heard them found their world views questioned and their very identities challenged because characters do not behave as they should, villains become heroes, heroes do not get the girl, and even God seems to act in strange ways. This breakaway will take a detailed and humorous look at selected parables and attempt to bridge the gap between what it meant to those who first heard them, and what it means to you.
Pastor Grant Knepper serves Zion Lutheran Church in Hillsboro, OR and is currently writing an STM thesis on the history of parable interpretation.

Mr. Stan Lemon
Have you ever wondered why the Church has seasons? Why is the season of Trinity green? Why do we celebrate Mary's conception after Christmas and before Jesus' death? Is Advent violet or blue?

So picking and knitting, it took me a while to figure out how to do it but I did it.(Yay me!) And i managed to knit a few rows till something went horribly wrong (how can you go wrong knitting garter stitches?!) that I thought I'd frog it and try again, but for some reason the yarn knotted in one of the stitches that i made the decision of cutting the yarn from the knot, and re knit the stitches that were there and managed to 'save' my knitting somehow...but the squares look rather...wonky yikes! Think the receiver will notice the wonky-ness in the squares?
Someone suggested i knit squares on the sides of the first 2 that I have knitted and that should straighten it out. What do you all think? Should I? Or would it be better to start all over again?
Apart from this WIP, I have also thought of my next project would you believe? LOL I mean, like, I haven't even finished this yet and already thoughts are pouring about what I should knit next. Does anyone else do that or am I just completely weird?
