PUBLISHED: 10:00 25 September 2018
"I think it's brilliant to have an awards ceremony that specifically recognises the incredible hairdressing talent in Essex."
A Hornchurch hair salon has been nominated for five regional awards.
Gfc hairdressing has a salon in Butts Green Road and the team are celebrating after being nominated for a record five categories at the annual Essex Salon Awards 2018, which are designed to highlight the success of the most creative, dynamic and innovative salons and hairdressers in the county.
The team has been shortlisted for: Best salon team, marketing trailblazer, best salon for bridal hair, most sustainable salon and creative image of the year for the second year in a row.
Now in their second year, the awards shine a spotlight on the hundreds of hairdressers who inspire and lead the way in hairdressing and the salons who deliver excellence in the county. Judged by a panel of industry leaders, the winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at Orsett Hall Hotel in November.
These five nominations surpass the four nods the salon achieved at the same ceremony last year and mark the gfc hairdressing team’s sixth finalist position in the past two months, after Paul Falltrick was shortlisted at the British Hairdressing Awards in the Eastern Hairdresser of the Year category. Paul is delighted with the news and said: “Wow! After achieving four nominations last year we are thrilled to have been named finalists in five categories in 2018.
“I think it’s brilliant to have an awards ceremony that specifically recognises the incredible hairdressing talent in Essex.
“We were incredibly proud to take home the creative image of the year award last year and we’d love to celebrate success again, therefore the team and all of our loyal clients will be keeping fingers, toes and everything crossed.”

3 June 2020 —The ‘Ah So’ Monk
There is an apocryphal tale about a woman dumping her baby on a Monk claiming that he was the father. The monk raised the child until the woman eventually returned and took the child way from the Monk. The Monk’s response on both occasions was ‘Ah So’.
Certainly an example of ‘GOING WITH THE FLOW’. How different it often is with us when low self esteem causes us to see ourselves as being treated unfairly causing us to feel angry at what we view as ‘being dumped upon’ and our response is to protect ourselves and fight back against the perceived injustice. How often do we feel the need to ‘stand up for ourselves’.?
I have refrained from writing about the events in America simply because I feel so much despair and sadness that so many years after the end of the 2nd World War people’s colour, race, religion etc is still an excuse to ostracise them and treat them differently. Whatever our race, colour, creed etc we are all human beings doing our best to live our lives and survive the circumstances in which we find ourselves, and yet that basic fact seems to be ignored.

Aghamore GAA Club was founded in 1889.
Their colours are white and red.
Aghamore is a Gaelic Football club.
My Gt. Grandfather, Patrick O'Rourke, played for Annagh Rovers, which was the first official football team in the parish of Aghamore, as did his younger brother Michael.. If anyone has a copy of the book 'The story of a rural Mayo GAA club, AGHAMORE 1889 - 2017', Michael is on the far left in the front row of the photograph on page 29. Apparently Michael was always known as 'Nace', I never knew this until I got a copy of the book. I wonder where the nickname originated?

Book Review: Baltasar and Blimunda by José Saramago
Baltasar is a soldier, returning to Portugal, after a war. Due to the war, he loses his left arm, and as he returns to Portugal, he meets Blimunda, a girl who can see inside people, as long as she has been fasting. They bump into a priest who is trying to invent an airship, but because the Inquisition is under way, as well as very conservative religious sensibilities, the airship construction project is done in secrecy, or else people would accuse them of heresy and they would be burned at the stake.
For quite some time, Baltasar and Blimunda become the priest's helpers in building the airship, and in the process, fall in love with each other. Soon though, the Inquisition catches up on them, and they use the now-built airship to escape. People see a flying object and attribute it to the Holy Spirit. Some years pass, however, and the priest finally dies, and Baltasar and Blimunda are the only ones left in the story. The story then turns into the construction of the Convent of Mafra, which is more or less a very tragic event. Baltasar finds work even though he only has one arm, but one day, he doesn't return, and Blimunda spends the next decade trying to find him, until she finds him about to be burned at the stake, presumably, for being a heretic.
As I said earlier, this is not the atheist Saramago that I loved. Sure, he has several passages that hint at his strong views later on, but perhaps because this is one of his earlier novels, that wasn't too strong yet. It is indeed apparent, but not as blunt as his later works. For that, I was a little disappointed, but at the same time, I also acknowledge the role of history here. Every exemplary writer needs to write not-so-exemplary works in order to reach excellence. And I only am critiquing it based on my own personal preferences. In other words, Baltasar and Blimunda might not be my most favorite work of his, but I can see why this book needs to be written.
Moving on to more positive aspects, I like the fact that Saramago was able to weave fiction and non-fiction in this book. Bartolomeu de Gusmão was apparently a real historical figure who pioneered the design of the airship, while Domenico Scarlatti was a well-known composer who apparently gave service to the Portuguese royalty. I never knew of Bartolomeu de Gusmão, while I didn't know that Domenico Scarlatti spent time in Portugal. In this respect, I loved the fact that I got to know more about these historical figures, and I am also amazed at the ease in which these historical figures entered and exited the narrative world that this book presented to the reader.
Overall, this is definitely a Saramago book, but probably not the first book I would recommend to anyone who would like to start reading his works. The narrative thread is meandering, and at times, were a little too much in digressive episodes. I was expecting this to be a book that centers on Baltasar and Blimunda as the central characters, but sometimes, it digresses too much on the building of the convent in Mafra. Though perhaps this is the fault of the translation of the title, as the original Portuguese title is Memorial do Convento, which makes it seem like the central or focal point of the novel is not these pair of humans, but the convent in Mafra which is being built. Anyway, to make it short, I just would like to say that I at times felt lost while reading this book. Or maybe it was the fault of the translator, as I am definitely more used to the translations of Margaret Jull Costa, and the edition I read was not translated by her. Oh well. Anyway, I still enjoyed this book, though not as much as the other novels I have read by Saramago. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Trump did not provide many specific details on his proposals during the campaign, but he has touched on a number of key topics.
Here is a review of where he stands on some of the biggest issues.
Trump was previously on the record as being pro-choice, but has maintained a pro-life position throughout his presidential campaign. The Republican nominee said during the primaries that there should be a punishment for women who have an abortion, but later said he meant that the doctor who performed the procedure should be penalized.
Trump said he would request a full review of the cyber security policy of the U.S.
Trump has said that he wants to give communities more options by supporting school choice programs and eliminating the Common Core standards.
Environment/Climate Change/Clean Energy
Trump wants to work with “clean coal” and refocus the EPA on clean air and drinking water.
Family Leave and Child Care
At the urging of his daughter Ivanka, Trump announced plans for maternity leave nationwide. Trump’s plan will offer 6 weeks paid maternity leave and various savings and tax-exempt accounts to help pay for child care.
Trump received the endorsement of the NRA and said he intends to protect the Second Amendment. He was also considering enforcing a "no fly, no buy" policy where people on the terror watch list would be unable to buy guns.
Trump said that he plans to immediately repeal Obamacare and replace it with an alternative, but did not give specifics.
Immigration and the Refugee Crisis
Trump has said that he wants to halt the influx of Syrian refugees entering the U.S. and has proposed what he calls "extreme vetting" for people wishing to immigrate into the country.
Trump repeatedly called himself “the law and order candidate” and stressed the importance of supporting police and law enforcement.
Syria and Defeating ISIS
Trump placed the blame for the development of ISIS on the Obama administration, and while he claimed to have a plan to defeat ISIS, he repeatedly said that he would not detail it publicly for fear of tipping off the enemy.
Trump opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal negotiated by the Obama administration, and opposes the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement, which was negotiated in the 1990s under George H. W. Bush and ratified by Bill Clinton.


No longer are low volume models enough for Maserati as there are now balance sheets to manage. That’s where the Levante S Q4 comes in and its main competition in the luxury SUV segment is the Porsche Cayenne.
Car And Driver contributor Josh Jacquot had a chance to test Maserati’s new SUV recently for a day or more. As with all SUVs, the Levante is a practical vehicle that was able to take on a load of kids and bicycles whilst providing its passengers with a “spleen-splitting ride in sport mode”. That may sound great on paper but the dampers in Sport mode are just too stiff for the roads of Michigan.
To make the ride more comfortable without compromising throttle response, drivers will need to decouple the powertrain from the stiffest damper setting. For an even higher level of ride customization, the standard computer-controlled air springs can be raised or lowered 3.4 inches.
Powering this SUV was a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine that’s producing 424 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system, the Levante’s power delivery may get a bit delayed if you catch the V-6 off-boost but that could remedied by manually operating the gearbox.
Overall, the Maserati Levante is an emotive vehicle whereas the Cayenne was called “antiseptic” by Jacquot.

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has said the attack of its Regional Governor for the South Charles Mchacha is a result of the escalating prices of goods and services in the country.
DPP spokesperson Shadreck Namalomba said this when condemning the assault of Mchacha.
Mchacha is allegedly to have been attacked by unknown people at Bvumbwe in Thyolo and is currently admitted at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH).
“The Democratic Progressive Party – DPP has learnt with great sadness the brutal attack on Honourable Charles Mchacha who is the party’s Regional Governor for the South. This brings to attention matters of security of citizens of this country. The DPP seeks a thorough investigation on this matter.
“We are also mindful of the harsh life Malawians are going through under the prevailing economic hardships under the MCP Government. The escalating prices of goods and services as a consequence of the worsening economic environment is driving Malawians into crime as desperation creeps in,” said Namalomba.
He added: “In the same breath, cognisant of the fact that Hon Mchacha is a political figure, we can not rule out an attack by his and DPP’s political enemies. As such the DPP expects a thorough investigation by our law-enforcing agencies on the matter.”
Namalomba has since asked Minister of Homeland Security to put matters of security of Malawians as a priority irrespective of one’s political affiliation.

Meta, earlier known as Facebook, has no plans to secure Messenger and Instagram with default end-to-end encryption until 2023. While the option does exist in both apps, it’s not enabled by default.
According to Antigone Davis, Meta’s global head of safety, the delay is caused by concerns about user safety. Meta doesn’t want the change to interfere with the platform’s ability to help stop criminal activities.
In a post on The Telegraph, Davis points out that once the change is implemented, the company will “use a combination of non-encrypted data across our apps, account information and reports from users” while assisting any public safety efforts carried out by law enforcement agencies.
Getting E2EE right?
Meta had earlier stated that E2EE (end-to-end encryption) would be available on Instagram and Messenger by default sometime in 2022. However, now Davis says that the company wants to get this right and hence the delay.
Another thing that can impede Meta’s plan of rolling out default E2EE is the UK’s Online Safety Bill which requires platforms to ensure that children are protected online and address abusive content.
Meta already has several safeguards for its users in place, including banning or blocking users that make far too many accounts or constantly message a large number of people they don’t know. According to Davis, “this technology is already in place, and we’re working to improve its effectiveness.”
He also pointed out the numerous already working safeguard tools for users, including the ability to block DMs based on whether or not they contain certain words specified by the user. Additionally, the company is also urging more users to report harmful messages, even giving them a prompt where they think there might be a problem.

This past Sunday, I had the honor of delivering the church sermon at First Unitarian of Albuquerque.
After the introduction, musicians Tom Wofford and Vance Bass did a stirring rendition of Stan Rogers’ 1979 song, “The Mary Ellen Carter.” The song is an inspirational hymn about triumphing over great odds. It tells the story of a heroic effort to salvage a sunken ship, the Mary Ellen Carter, by members of her former crew.
While the ship’s story is fictitious, the song’s refrain provides valuable life lessons in resiliency. “Rise again… rise again… turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain, and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.”
We ourselves can rise again in different ways: physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The foundation of chiropractic care has always been the relationship between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. The understanding of this relationship has become more and more sophisticated to such an extent that we now realize that the integrity of the human frame and it's ability to move as designed can have implications in pain perception, muscle control, coordination, sleep, internal organ function, and immune response. This book provides an in-depth review of the ways in which abnormal movement in the musculoskeletal system (particularly the spine) will result in altered nervous system function and the potential for poor health.

Prince George's County Assistant Police Chief Joseph D. Vasco Jr. yesterday branded as "at least 50 percent . . . inaccurate" a quote attributed to him in The Washington Post last year that suggests he thought it was proper for police to stage robberies in 1967 to catch suspects.
Vasco's comment came in a federal court trial here in which he is a defendant with two other county police officials in a $9 million civil rights lawsuit accusing them of setting up a series of so-called "death squad" robberies and burglaries in which two suspects were shot and killed by waiting police, a third was wounded and seven others arrested.
Barnet D. Skolnik, an attorney representing plaintiffs against the police, asked Vasco if he was accurately quoted in a July 28, 1982, Post article, noting that "the central allegation of this lawsuit is that you helped set up armed robberies by instructing informants to solicit others to commit the robberies."
The article quoted Vasco as saying, "You have to understand that these are the kind of things that were done. I mean, the kind of police work that was done 15 years ago in a different era, a different culture. There was nothing wrong with it then. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it now."
Vasco replied in court today, "At least 50 percent of what The Washington Post quoted me as saying is totally inaccurate."
Attorneys for Vasco immediately objected to Skolnik's reference to the Post article, noting that it is not clear from the context of the quote what specific "things" Vasco acknowledged doing as a police officer in 1967. Presiding Judge Herbert F. Murray agreed and ordered Skolnik to stop questioning Vasco about the quote.
The issue of which specific "things" Vasco may have been acknowledging is crucial to police lawyers in the trial. While they strongly deny the central accusation that Vasco and others instructed informers to recruit acquaintances for crimes, they have conceded related police actions, such as suggesting changes in time and location of planned crimes that informers tipped them to and providing "instrumentalities" for the crimes, such as a key to a store or a getaway car.
Police contend that changes in time and location are justified to minimize possible harm to innocent bystanders at stores staked out by undercover officers. Providing a car or a key is constitutionally permissible, they say, if the suspects are predisposed to commit the crime and planned it themselves.

“I like Jesus – but I don’t go to church.”
OK. Anyone who has been paying attention would be concerned. I’ve seen Christian communities I care about, approximately halve in numbers of people participating in the last fifteen years or so (a period in which the country’s population grew by 20%). The NZ Census figures on religious affiliation, released this week, present a similarly sobering reflection.
Does it matter? Church community involvement has, in the past, been the normal means for most to grow spiritually. I’ll return to that thought below. Let me brainstorm some of the causes of church attendance decline – add your ideas in the comments below. You may disagree with some particulars, some details I present. The devil, I suggest, in this case is not in the details. Any number of these causes work together to place us in the path of a perfect storm.
Our culture is commitment-apathetic. It is not commitment-phobic; commitment just isn’t something that even appears on the radar screen. People don’t join like they used to (from political parties through golf clubs to cycling clubs). That doesn’t mean they aren’t interested in politics, playing golf, or actually going cycling. Nor does not joining a church mean they aren’t interested in spirituality. Facebook understands the pulse of our culture by choosing to have a “like” button (you don’t “join” a page – you “like” it).
Analysis that the church is up against a group of young people that is individualist is unhelpful. The term connotes selfishness and self-centeredness. As pointed out, altruistic young people can see the individualistic-saving-from-God’s-wrath-and-hell, self-obsessed, club-survival-preoccupation of the church as being self-centered. Plank meet speck!
Gathering still happens in this culture. Young people still network and gather, it’s just not “every Friday night, from x to y time at z place” – it’s more gathering-by-texting…
Projecting the Census statistics has non-catholic Christianity selling off their last church building as a cafe about forty years from now.
Much of Protestantism is more precarious in our new context. If faith is focused around accepting Jesus into my heart, and the individual-with-the-Bible-alone as all that is needed for personal, spiritual growth, then such a paradigm has always struggled with why go to (belong to) church? “To hear great Bible teaching”, might have cut the mustard in a pre-TV, pre-internet age. But, hello, those days have gone!
“Pentecostal-type churches are still fine” is the cry. Yes, young people go to that type of church. Young people. One pastor of a huge church spoke to me after finally doing the stats. His congregants stayed on average for 18 months. It was an infatuation/falling-in-love-with-God experience for them. Great! Let me stress: there is nothing wrong with that stage in any relationship! Quite the opposite – it is a good thing. But (sorry – spoiler alert!) it doesn’t last. The “Pentecostal-type churches” often struggle to hold the average person through further stages of faith. Story number 2: people at the getting-married/having-young-families stage of their lives, in the largest church I know personally, look back at the massive late-teens group they once were part of there – and now they can count those people still remaining there, a decade or so later, on a hand or two.
My pastor friend also found that when people left – they don’t move to another denomination. They leave church. Spiritual but not religious – have you heard that phrase before? “Traditional” denominations may be great for the long haul – but they are often hopeless at providing the environment for the falling-in-love stage. And tell me, in our market-driven-approach-to-church, where is the cooperation that is providing a natural pathway for its young people from traditional-type-church to “Pentecostal-type churches”; or show me the one from there to traditional-type-church?!
There is little scholarly analysis in NZ. That would mean the Moa taking its head out of the sand and acknowledging there’s a problem. The refrain in the little scholarship that is done presents overseas statistics but there is always little to nothing to guesswork for New Zealand. Dr Kevin Ward gives short shrift to the idea that Evangelical/Pentecostal churches aren’t affected. Only 3.9% of people attending such churches come from no church background. The deck chairs are not just being rearranged, but we are watching them fall over the side of the Titanic, and they are not being replaced.
Running out of babushkas
A priest tried to console me when, longer ago, I saw much of this writing on the wall. He thought of his parish as a community of babushkas, and he assured me that as they died off there would always be new babushkas to take their place in the pews. I didn’t much believe him then. I certainly don’t believe him now. People joining church generally do so younger. It is not something older people suddenly take on without any previous church background. Certainly, if they have had Sunday School background, or church school, or similar, they may come back to it later. But check out Sunday School attendance now. Or point to the number of church schools being newly opened. Do the maths.
So if you want babushkas in the future, or young families, or post-midlifers, put energy into giving children a positive experience of church. Of church. They are not going to come back if their only experience is being siloed off to a room by themselves, separated from the experience of ordinary Christian worship, to colour inside the lines! They don’t want to come back to colour in. They can do that at home.
And open church schools. And staff them with 21st-century Christians. And train and form clergy. Properly.
Being church in the Internet Age
The church, generally, is still doing its mission and ministry in another country: the pre-internet country. Yes, there are still some people living in that country, but most now live in Internet Land. Everything, from movies, and newspapers, through shopping, to education, is metamorphosing what they do to live in this new land. But not the church.
Don’t tell me that human hunger for God, that our passion for spirituality and meaning, has lessened in the same measure as the graphs of church-affiliation and church-attendance declines. A church paradigm that sees belonging to church and participating in sacraments as central to growth in spirituality has a chance of surviving. A church paradigm that sees growth through getting good Bible teaching obviously won’t. And doesn’t deserve to. There’s lots of apps for that.
I think we need a new paradigm. One that takes seriously our new “like Jesus” culture, where we gather for more than just getting what you can download off the web or watch on YouTube, and where we are there together not just for ourselves, not just for growing the numbers in our group, but for genuine loving compassion and service for others. I don’t know what that will look like.
ps. If you really want to prevent young people looking at church with any seriousness, church leaders should spend all your time and energy arguing about something that stopped being an issue for the rest of society long before they were born, and that directly applies to about 5% or so of the population. Set up commissions, have meetings, consultations, and make discipline solely around that one so-last-millennium issue.
pps. For those not convinced of the networking power of the internet, one post I put up this week on my facebook page reached a quarter of a million people.
ppps. In many ways the above post follows my post from two days ago presenting the NZ Census figures on religious affiliation. Other places discussing these figures: here, here, and here (I have yet to be convinced of the thesis of this last post, both the statistics of the 1890s aberration, and the assumption that the slope starts there rather than that, if the stats are correct, the 1890s is a spike).

The paper presents a technique for the design of digital systems on the basis of reusable hardware templates, which are circuits with modifiable functionality that might be customized to satisfy requirements of target applications, such as a highly optimized implementation of the selected problem-specific operations. Reusability is provided at two levels that are the level of hardware circuits and the level of specifications. The paper demonstrates how hardware templates can be modeled in software and implemented in hardware.

Decision tree based uncertainty framework for water accounting
Water accounting is becoming a common term in water resources management, especially in Australia after the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) reached an intergovernmental agreement on the National Water Initiative (NWI) in 2004. Water accounting aims to provide a complete picture of water resources for a region over a reporting period. It provides quantitative information about all water resource components such as inflows, outflows, rainfall, evaporation, water use, surface water...[Show more]

Ireland’s Elan Corporation has agreed to pay a $15 million dollar civil penalty to settle a US Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into its accounting practices that has been hanging over its head for the past three years [[08/02/02b]].
Elan’s fortunes took a turn for the worse and its share price went into a tailspin back in 2002 when allegations surfaced that the company had reported favourable financial statements, but concealed certain information that meant its stock traded as high as $65 dollars [[07/02/02c]]. The firm teetered on the brink of bankruptcy as it faced the prospect of defaulting on millions of dollars worth of debt repayment [[27/06/03a]]. However, uUnder the agreement reached with the SEC, Elan has neither admitted nor denied the allegations.
The move had not been unexpected, as the company had revealed late last year that it was on the verge of settling the claims [[26/10/04a]]. The firm has already set aside a $55 million reserve to cover its liability in the case. The terms of the settlement remain subject to court approval, and could also see Elan stumping up $75 million – including $35 million to be paid by its insurers – to settle a plethora of class action lawsuits prompted by Elan’s 2002 share price collapse in the wake of the SEC investigation. A hearing has been scheduled for February 18, 2005, when the court will consider final approval of the settlement.
The firm is now looking to the future, and yesterday reiterated that it expected to return to profit by 2006 [[08/02/05a]]. Key to its turnaround is the multiple sclerosis offering, Tysabri (natalizumab), which is already exceeding expectations and looks set to become the market-leading MS treatment.

Let's play an interesting new game which the Howard County Board of Education is developing.
Here's the basic rule: Students shall not "harass, defame, intimidate, threaten, use profanity toward or engage in an act of violence directed against an individual or identifiable individuals based on that person's race, color, creed, religion, physical or mental disability, national origin, gender or sexual orientation." Violators can be punished, suspended or expelled.
Here's the game: try to figure out what violates the rule and what doesn't.
Suppose you call someone "a pig"? It sounds bad, but it looks OK under the rule because the word doesn't seem to have anything to do with "race, color, creed, religion, physical or mental disability, national origin, gender or sexual orientation."
But what if a boy calls a girl "a pig"? Would it make any difference if he called her "a sow"? Bzzzzz!!! Off to the principal's office. Suppose he calls her "a feminist pig"? Is that an impermissible insult or only the crude expression of a legitimate criticism? The rule has an earnest First Amendment exception for the "mere expression of views, no matter how unpopular or offensive." If you think "feminist pig" should be outlawed, would you also punish a girl who calls a boy "a male chauvinist pig"? Suppose you think she's right on?
Notice that if the boy calls the girl "a socialist pig," he hasn't violated the rule, even if he then breaks his baseball bat over her head. The rule doesn't prohibit partisan name-calling or even political violence. If she responds, "You Southerners are all pigs," she's OK too, because regional prejudices are not prohibited. He can respond with "Shut up, you fat pig," because it's open season on personal appearance. "All you poor people are pigs." It's OK. The rule doesn't prohibit economic prejudice, or even class warfare.
Try some racial insults. Suppose a big white fifth-grader grabs a little black third-grader at recess, calls him a simple [expletive deleted], and punches him in the nose. The bully has harassed, defamed, intimidated, threatened, used profanity and engaged in an act of violence. But as long as his choice of an [expletive deleted] is racially neutral, his conduct isn't a violation. Maybe he just wanted to steal the kid's candy bar.
Suppose, however, the white bully was wearing a Ku Klux Klan T-shirt and had a swastika carved on his shaved head? That might be enough to prove that he was guilty of racial bias.
But suppose the black boy responds by calling the bully a "white racist honky" and hits him back? Bzzzzz???
If the bully really was a racist, then the black boy wouldn't have "defamed" him under the Howard County rule because what the black boy said was true. Read the three pages of proposed regulations.
"Defamation" is defined as "false and unprivileged statements or representations about an individual or identifiable group of individuals that harm the reputation of the person by demeaning him or her in the estimation of the community or deterring third persons from associating with or dealing with him or her."
The black boy's lawyer can clear up everything by explaining that his client's statement was not only not "false" but also not "unprivileged." That term, whatever it means, is right there in the fine print.
Actually, the black kid would be guilty. You have to read these regulations carefully. Even if he hadn't "defamed" the white skinhead, he still "harassed" him because the regulations don't exclude accurate epithets from the definition of "harassment." It is defined as "actions or statements directed at an individual or identifiable individuals which are intended or which a reasonable person would understand are intended to ridicule or to demean the other or subject the other to contempt."
The rules and regulations are complicated. Maybe the Howard County schools should print them on little plastic cards which the children can carry around in their back pockets. Then, when Johnny and Jerry get into a schoolyard fight, they can stop, pull out their cards and make sure they only hurl approved insults at each other before they start swinging.
Even the principal author of the rules and regulations doesn't understand them. The associate superintendent who drafted them told a reporter that calling a girl a disgusting name like "dyke" would only violate the rule if the girl was a lesbian. Otherwise, it wouldn't.
Bzzzzz!!! He should re-read his own definitions. If you call a girl a "dyke," you've "defamed" her if she isn't a lesbian and "harassed" her if she is. But then what happens if the girl is only 8 years old and hasn't yet figured out her sexual orientation?
Here's an extra-credit question: What happens if you call someone a "homosexual"? Are you "defaming" a straight person and "harassing" a gay one? Will the Howard County schools officially proclaim that "homosexual" is a term which "demeans" people? Or will they officially declare that it doesn't? Think of all the fun they'll have explaining either position to outraged parents and gay-activist groups.
These speech codes are springing up all over the country. Many of them are disingenuous attempts to impose a "politically correct" ideological orthodoxy. But this one seems genuinely well-intentioned. In the last year, Howard County has suffered a series of ugly racial incidents which people of good will want to stop.
In the pursuit of that worthy goal, however, the school board members have lost their way. Maybe they should simply prohibit all defamation, harassment, threats and violence, regardless of motivation. That would at least get them out of the business of drawing lines between insults that are permissible and those that aren't. But then Johnny would violate a serious disciplinary rule every time he calls Jerry a "dumb-dumb" or a "poop-head" at recess.
The school board should drop the whole idea. No one can draft a sensible code that distinguishes between words and ideas that should be expressed and those that shouldn't. Rules should only try to regulate conduct. Otherwise, they deserve ridicule and contempt themselves.
Tim Baker writes a column on issues of city and state.

Enfamil Neuropro is a nutritional supplement that mimics breast milk and is backed by decades of research and clinical trials. Its formulation includes a unique blend of nutrients inspired by breast milk. It also contains MFGM, DHA, Arachidonic acid, and a protein blend modeled after breast milk.
Inspired by breast milk, Enfamil nutrition is based on multiple clinical studies and decades of research. It provides the perfect balance of nutrition and antioxidants to support the development of the brain and nervous system in children. And it is guaranteed to help your child grow up healthy and strong. It is also free from artificial additives, preservatives, and artificial colorings. This formula can be given to children as early as 3 months of age.
MFGM (milk fat globule membrane) is an essential component of breast milk and plays a role in brain development. It was previously found only in breast milk but has now been added to infant formulas. It also supports the immune system and promotes cognitive development. Both MFGM and DHA are clinically proven to help your child develop.
Enfamil NeuroPro is a 20-calorie per-fl-oz milk-based formula containing natural sources of omega-3 fatty acid (DHA) to help with cognitive development. Enfamil NeuroPro is a non-GMO, iron-fortified formula designed to nourish your child from birth through the first year.
MFGM supplements in infant formula have recently been introduced in several markets. While breastfed infants tend to have a higher intake of MFGM, bovine MFGM supplementation has shown promising effects on neurodevelopment. Although it is still too early to make a general recommendation, the benefits of MFGM supplementation in infant formulas are clear and backed by promising research.
The benefits of breast milk are widely acknowledged by experts. While it is best to feed your child breast milk, it is not always possible to express it to him or her. Therefore, you should consult with your pediatrician before feeding him or her with any form of infant formula.
Enfamil is a proven nutritional supplement for children with a proven track record. Based on the principles of breast milk, Enfamil is backed by decades of research and multiple clinical studies. This formula helps prevent developmental delays and supports cognitive development. It also has a long shelf life and can be safely given to children from the first day of life.
Enfamil NeuroPro is a formula for infants that contains MFGM and DHA. It is claimed to be more beneficial for cognitive development than other infant formulas. It is also recommended by pediatras. The ingredients in the formula are found nowhere else, so if you are wondering if the product is a good fit for your baby, it’s important to read the label.
A good source of omega-3 fatty acids is breast milk. Enfamil NeuroPro DHA is a milk-based formula that contains this fat-protein blend. It also contains lutein and vitamin E in ideal concentrations. The formula doesn’t contain palm olein oil, which is naturally found in breast milk. However, it is not known whether palm olein oil will affect your child’s development.
Enfamil NeuroPro is a clinically proven formula that provides complete nutrition for babies up to 12 months of age. It is made with an MFGM and DHA fat-protein blend, which helps to support cognitive development, much like breast milk. It also contains additional nutrients such as vitamins C and E, as well as selenium, which supports immune health. Enfamil NeuroPro also comes in an easy-to-grip 8-ounce bottle.
The fatty acid DHA is one of the most important nutrients for baby. It supports the development of the eyes and brain. The brain is developing at the fastest rate in the first year of life. A healthy diet during this crucial time will ensure a child has the best possible development.
Enfamil Neuropro is a milk-based formula with increased levels of DHA and arachidonic acid, two essential fatty acids for brain development. It also includes vitamin E and lutein. However, it does not include palm olein oil, which is present naturally in breast milk. It is thought to have no adverse effects on the developing brain of a baby.
Enfamil NeuroPro is made with a blend of proteins and fats that is easy to digest and based on a formula that mimics breast milk. The formula also includes DHA, MFGM, and ARA, which are naturally found in breast milk and support cognitive development. In addition, Enfamil NeuroPro contains prebiotics and omega-3 fatty acids.
Protein blend modeled after breast milk
Enfamil NeuroPro Infant is a 20-calorie, iron-fortified milk-based formula for babies. It contains a fat-protein blend modeled after breast milk, including MFGM and DHA. This fat-protein blend, which was previously only found in breast milk, is designed for babies’ growing brains. In a study, Enfamil found that Enfamil NeuroPro improved cognitive scores from the Bayley-III test when compared to a different formula that did not contain the protein blend.
This formula contains partially hydrolyzed proteins and milk fat globule membrane, which is found naturally in breast milk and is crucial to brain development. It also contains prebiotics, which can help your baby’s digestive system.
These prebiotics are non-GMO and gluten-free. The Enfamil Neuropro blend is slightly more expensive than most infant formulas, but it is a premium formula that will provide your child with the nutrients they need for good health.
Infant formula with easy-to-digest proteins is a good choice for babies with lactose intolerance, especially those who experience frequent spitting up. It is formulated to reduce gas, fussiness and crying. It also provides complete nutrition for the first 12 months of life. It contains the same vitamins and minerals that parents will find in breast milk.
Enfamil NeuroPro Infant is a milk-based formula that contains brain-building DHA, along with naturally occurring MFGM components derived from whey protein concentrate. It is also fortified with iron and has a proprietary blend of GOS and PDX. Enfamil NeuroPro is also formulated to mimic the nutritional profile of breast milk for optimal brain development.

The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of substance abuse services and a broad array of ancillary services (partial hospital, mental health counseling, psychiatric, medical, urgent care) for veterans admitted for outpatient substance abuse treatment. This study addressed limitations of prior work by examining a broad array of health services beyond substance abuse treatment, and demonstrating the incremental validity of combining the Addiction Severity Index (ASI) with demographic and clinical diagnostic information.
Subjects were 260 veterans, who were administered an ASI thru the Substance Abuse Clinic (SAC) of a major VA Medical Center. Data included demographics (e.g., age, sex, race), clinical diagnoses (mental health and medical) assessment data (e.g., ASI composite scores), as well as measures of six month health service utilization (e.g., outpatient substance abuse, mental health counseling, psychiatric medication management, partial hospitalization, medical outpatient services, and urgent care visits, overall service use).
Multivariate analyses (Tobit regression models) were conducted for each services outcome to examine the impact of adding ASI data to patient data (demographics, psychiatric and medical diagnoses). Compared to models with only patient data (as well as models with only ASI scores), full models containing both ASI scores and clinical showed marked increases in R2 for most services outcomes (substance abuse, mental health, partial hospital, medical, urgent care), although increases were minimal for psychiatric appointments and overall service use. ASI scales (e.g., psychiatric, medical) and medical diagnoses generally predicted service use (e.g., partial hospital, medical) in an expected manner, and a comorbid diagnosis of depression stood out as a predictor of overall services use.
Adding psychometric data (ASI scores) to demographics and clinical data improves the ability to predict an array of services utilization, and the results support the predictive validity of ASI scores for medical and intense partial hospital services.
This study demonstrates the utility of combining patient (demographics, clinical diagnoses) with ASI data to predict subsequent services use. Such an approach could be useful to the VA in conducting needs assessments and examining the effectiveness of care processes.

HCM CITY — Many unauthorised roadside markets continue to obstruct traffic in HCM City although Safety Traffic Year 2012 is under way around the country.

Most of these impromptu markets are in suburban areas in Districts 7, 9, Thu Duc, Tan Binh, Tan Phu, Go Vap, Binh Chanh, and Hoc Mon, which are densely populated by migrants coming from other provinces to work in industrial parks.
They spring up at 5pm, when the afternoon shift is over.
In front of the Linh Trung Export Processing Zones No.1 and 2 in Thu Duc District, for instance, hawkers selling food items like pork, beef, fish, and vegetables gather, displaying their goods on the roadside.
Scores of buyers congregate too, hindering the rush-hour traffic and ignoring the dangers it poses.
The worst traffic jams are caused on Huynh Tan Phat Street in front of the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone in District 7, the streets around Tan Tao IP in Binh Chanh District, and Road No. 80 around Vinh Loc IP in Binh Tan District.
In the city, Le Van Tho, Le Duc Tho, Thong Nhat, and Duong Quang Ham streets in Go Vap District and Mai Van Ninh Street in Tan Binh District are the worst affected.
Tran Trong Tuan, chairman of the Binh Chanh District People's Committee, said the roadside markets were causing traffic jams on Road No. 80 and Quach Dieu Street.
"Though there are many licensed traditional markets around the city, many people buy from these street vendors because it is much quicker and more convenient for them to buy something while sitting on their motorbikes," he said.
District and ward authorities have urged people to go to the traditional markets and imposed fines on vendors who displayed or sold their goods on the roadside, he added.
Nguyen Van Be, general director of the Linh Trung EPZs, said last year eight accidents were reported on the roads around the EPZs, which employ 92,000 workers.
Be said no effective measure has been taken by the city authorities to punish the vendors who cause severe traffic jams in front of Linh Trung EPZ No. 1.
To prevent these unauthorised markets from expanding or taking root, Thu Duc District authorities have warned away the hawkers and stopped issuing licences for fresh food stalls around traditional markets since the street vendors buy from them.
They have also speeded up construction of supermarkets and convenience stores selling essential goods in residential areas.
According to the city Department of Industry and Trade, it is a sign of success that authorities have been able to halve the number of unplanned markets in the city from a decade ago to just 160 now. — VNS

Stewed green cabbage is a rich and delicious side dish, ideal to be enjoyed hot and lightly sautéed during a cold late autumnal evening. Usually used to prepare sauerkraut, green cabbage proves to be a versatile and multi-faceted vegetable; for this recipe it is cut into thin strips, browned in a pan with bacon and onion and then gently stewed by gradually adding homemade vegetable broth. The final result will be a preparation with a pleasantly crunchy, fragrant and very tasty consistency, perfect to accompany a second course of white meat or red meat, or eggs. Also excellent as a light and well balanced main course to be served with slices of toasted bread. So let’s find out how to prepare it in the best way by following our recipe step by step.
Peel and cut the vegetables to make the broth (1).
Collect the vegetables in a pot with the parsley and a pinch of salt, then cover with water (2), put on the stove and cook for about 45-50 minutes.
