Graham Norton is sick of hearing about a potential Friends reunion. So sick of the chatter that he practically begged Jennifer Aniston to finally organize one, if only to finally shut fans up about it.
Aniston shared her idea of the perfect cast reunion while chatting with the British talk show host. Long story short: Don't hold your breath for one anytime soon.

"I say we wait until we're really much older, and be just Golden Friends because then you won't have the, 'Oh, look at Joey, look at what happened to them,'" she said.
Norton revealed that he also has his own idea for a reunion: "Just make it really grim and depressing and then no one will ever want to see it again," he joked. "It could be a series of funerals."

This week Dr. Mac explains why two displays are better than one; how to turn your iPad into an external monitor for your Mac; and why his iPad now goes everywhere his MacBook Air goes.
Scott Galloway, in a fascinating and informative presentation, asserts that it's fairly easy to grasp the basic message of Amazon, Facebook and Google. But when it comes to Apple, the argument is that Tim Cook, the superb operator, isn't a good storyteller. Worse, he says "What is Apple's mission? They don't have one that they can articulate." This blindness to Apple's charter from Steve Jobs is a mystery.
The increased use of wearables will naturally invite the monitoring of body chemistry. Just as we do for fitness now, there will be norms and goals. Along with that, in the tech industry's all too eager efforts to be of assistance, monitoring of blood chemistry won't be without helpful suggestions about what and what not to eat. It's coming soon.
Apple's Time Machine backup system was born in a time when Apple realized that customers weren't routinely backing up their Macs. So a simple, stopgap system, with some novel features, was devised for the novice user. Unfortunately, over the years, the app hasn't progressed and kept pace with modern user needs. Today, most every tech writer says: Use it, but don't trust it completely. This is unfortunate.
As Dr. Mac told you last week, he's been testing a 128GB iPad Pro with a new Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard and while it won’t replace his laptop, it has quickly become his iPad of choice for a variety of reasons (which you'll only discover if you read Dr. Mac's Rants & Raves Episode #161: Living with an iPad Pro.
Harvard University released a study on Monday titled Don't Panic: Making Progress on the "Going Dark" Debate. It might also have been titled Governments Shouldn't Freak Out about Encryption: The Internet of Things is a Surveillance Playground. Bryan Chaffin explains.
Apple has built what was a secret team to develop virtual reality technology, according to unnamed sources cited by The Financial Times of London. The team is comprised of hundreds of employees from a series of acquisitions in the virtual reality (VR) and augmented-reality (AR) space, as well as hires from outside of Apple. Bryan Chaffin wants to know what they're working on.
Dr. Mac has been testing a decked out 128GB iPad Pro with the new Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard for a couple of months and says it's cool, but not a laptop replacement for him. You'll only find out why if you read this week's episode (#160 in the long-running series) of Dr. Mac's Rants & Raves.
Google paid Apple as much as $1 billion just to be the default search engine in iOS in 2014. That number comes to us from court transcripts, as reported by Bloomberg, and it highlights the complicated relationship Apple and Google have.
In 2015, Apple released the new MacBook, the Apple Watch and the much anticipated iPad Pro. What will 2016 be like? Will there be unexpected, new products? John Martellaro thinks this will be a year of hardware and software consolidation and refinement.

The Harper government has a compulsive habit of introducing omnibus bills, splicing together important pieces of legislation with little or no connection to each other.
On Wednesday, Peter MacKay, the Minister of Justice, tabled a bill that was said to be primarily about cyberbullying. In fact, much of it has nothing to do with the subject.
Instead, a large portion of the imperfectly named Protecting Canadians from Online Crime Act is a new version of the so-called "lawful access" bill introduced by Vic Toews, the former minister of public safety, in early 2012. It was withdrawn in the face of widespread criticism. This latest piece of legislation is an improvement on Mr. Toews' effort, which went too far in permitting warrantless interceptions of electronic communications. An improvement, but still imperfect.
The goal is to update the Criminal Code's wiretapping provisions to cover modern electronic communications. In the 1970s, the time-honoured search-warrant procedure was used as the basis for what were then new rules on how and when police can listen in on or get information about your phone calls. They must apply to a judge for authorization, and the hurdle is high.
When it comes to wireless communications, however, police are currently able to get from wireless carriers pretty much all they ask for, thanks to what is known as the Solicitor-General's Enforcements Standards, built into the carriers' licences. That makes it too easy for the authorities to pry into what should be your confidential information.
Under current law, a wiretapping authorization will only be issued by a judge if police can show a "reasonable ground to believe that an offence has been or will be committed." But under Bill C-13, wireless wiretaps can be authorized on the looser standard of "reasonable ground to suspect."
Why not make police applications for a wireless wiretap clear the same, high legal hurdle as a traditional wiretap? And why is the government burying all of this inside an unrelated piece of legislation covering the highly emotional topic of cyberbullying? Parliament should be debating and voting on each measure separately, on its merits. Once again, the Conservative government is engaging in unnecessary legislative acrobatics. Time to cease and desist.

Privatization of telecommunications
Decree 2,338 of October 7 1997, published in the official gazette on October 8 1997, implements Law 9,472 of July 16 1997, which created a regulatory agency for the telecoms sector, the National Agency of Telecommunications (ANATEL) and paved the way for the privatization of the operating subsidiaries of the state-owned utility Telebrás.
As recently confirmed by minister Sérgio Motta, the government has decided to privatize the entire Telebrás system by the middle of next year. Subsidiaries to be privatized include those that will retain the existing concessions in relation to band A mobile phone services. The privatization model to be employed is expected to be announced soon.
In spite of the accumulated problems stemming from many years of inadequate investment, the 28 companies making up the Telebrás system now constitute one of the 20 largest operators in the world, and the largest in the southern hemisphere. Telebrás has more than 94% of the telephone exchanges, and more than 91% of all of the local phone lines in Brazil. The substructure of the interstate and international system for transmission with Telebrás consists of three domestic Brazilian satellites, five Instelsat satellites and one Inmarsat satellite.
Oil sector privatization
Law 9,478 of August 6 1997, published in the official gazette on August 7 1997, has repealed law 2,004 of October 3 1953, ending the state-controlled company Petrobrás's 44-year monopoly of the oil sector. The enactment of Law 9478/97 was only made possible after the Ninth Amendment to the Constitution was passed on November 9 1995 allowing the state to hire private sector companies for the drilling, refining, international marketing and transportation of oil, oil-based derivatives and natural gas.
The National Petroleum Agency (ANP) was created by Law 9478/97 as the sector regulator. Petrobrás is to transfer to ANP the information at present available on Brazilian sedimentary basins and the activities carried out by the recently defunct monopoly. Petrobrás will be granted temporary concessions in those areas already exploited. Concessions in the remaining areas will be privatized in accordance with Law 9478/97 and further regulation is expected to be issued shortly by ANP.
The previous prohibition on foreign participation in Petrobrás has been removed and the government has been allowed to sell its shares in Petrobrás provided it retains voting control.

My girl is 22 today Perfectly inspired challenge!
the human child revolts at picture taking and posting so I have to use my favourite fur child's birthday instead.
Thank you for the fun challenge! I chose Canada's 150th birthday.
I used the shape tool of a suitcase and modified it to make the cake layer shapes and then clipped paper to that. Applied gesso style to cake layers for texture. Candles are made from knitting needle element. Flame is made from leaf on shape Floral ornament1
My numbers are 1.5 inches tall in my 12x12 layout. I didn't have ANY birthday TLP stuff and I bought a kit thinking it was TOMORROW so that I could get the FWP birthday kit. DOH!!!!!!!! I made due with what I had.
A Happy Birthday! Challenge!...A Surprising Challenge!...I Don't Really Scrap Birthdays!...Can't Remember The Last Time I Had...But I Found A Very Old Photo Of Me,My Brother & My MOM!...The Photo Is Roughly 47 Years Old!...So Non-Digital! For Sure!...The Photo Was Pretty Bad!...It Took Me A Long Time To Get It To Look Any Semblance Of Good!...& I Say Only Good!...Not Much Better Than That!...But I Made A Nice Birthday Layout Around It!...Of Which I'm Very Happy About!...And At The Very Least...The Photo Makes Me Smile Every Time I Look At It!...
*For My Birthday Girl 5 Layout-I Used:
*Happy Birthday To Me-NBK Design
*Delightful Layered Torn Pieces -NBK Design
I did one for yesterday's release...duh moment, so redid another for today!
No BD celebrations in 2020 so I chose to wish the Lilypad a Happy Birthday.
I copied and pasted your multilingual birthday greetings into a layer above my paper and blended them in.
How convenient that my husband's birthday was yesterday.

- A small, one bedroom apartment in Sydney. That kind of money won’t get you too far in Australia’s most expensive city, but it’ll get you a room and maybe even a toilet, if you’re lucky. I would rather live in the Bentayga.
- A Patek Philippe Sky Chart Grand Complication watch. But then again, the Bentayga also comes with a Breitling clock as an option, all be it for an extra $300,000.
- Ten Tiffany & Co rings made from 18k gold and Marquise diamonds set in platinum. A car might be more practical, but then again, a diamond is a girl’s best friend, right?
- A month’s accommodation in the best room at Park Hyatt Sydney.
- Did you know that for around $150,000, you could own an acre of a private island in the Caribbean. Ok, so you won’t get the whole island for the price of the Bentayga, but you’ll get a few acres of it.
- Take your pick of any of the lux-brand handbags. Prada, Chloé, Louis Vuitton, eat your heart out. In fact, you could probably buy close to five of these bags.
- A room full of red roses. We’re past Valentine’s Day but it’s never too late to tell someone how much you love them, even if it does cost close to $400,000.
- Or you could just take all the money and disappear on a round-the-world trip…
Chances are if you’re looking to buy the most expensive SUV in the world, you probably already have most of these things. Either that or you’ve won the lotto and splurging up big, and we certainly approve.

RIM CEO Thorsten Heins has confirmed to German newspaper Die Welt that multiple options are on the table for the struggling platform and device manufacturer for it to shore up its short-term finances, including the sale of its hardware manufacturing division to other interested parties, as well as revisiting the possibility of licensing BB10 to third parties following an internal strategic review of operations expected to be completed before the launch of BB10 next month.
Below, the Heins quote from the newspaper on the possibility of selling the hardware division and licensing BB10 to third parties taken from the paper’s interview with the CEO, published earlier today:
“The main thing for now is to successfully introduce Blackberry 10. Then we’ll see”
The possibility of licensing BB10 to third party manufacturers is nothing new for RIM, as the company has consistently stated that it would be a serious possibility given the current weakness of its hardware sales, even in markets where the company still maintains a level of of strength, such as Southeast Asia, South Africa and Europe, given the gains in market share Android and iOS have made in those markets on the backs of Apple and Samsung respectively despite the popularity of the BlackBerry in those regions due to its messaging and email platforms.
RIM is expected to launch BB10 next week, first in a slate of media events starting in New York, with the official retail launches for the first hardware running the software expected next month. Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and AT&T have signed on to officially support and back BB10 with their respective launches of hardware expected between next month and March.

To Use or Not To Use Brazilian Blowout
If you haven’t heard, in September 2010 the Oregon Occupational Safety Health Administration (OR-OSHA) tested Brazilian Blowout and found it to contain excessive levels of Formaldehyde, known to be a carcinogen. Since one death was suspected (not proven) and many hairdresser complained of eye, skin irritations, nose bleeds and breathing difficulty, OSHA was taking these complaints seriously in finding formaldehyde levels in excess of 10%. Formaldehyde is only permitted in cosmetics at concentrations less than 0.2%.
Subsequently, Brazilian Blowout of California stated their product is formaldehyde-free, 100% safe, and contain no harsh chemicals. They claimed the OSHA tests were flawed and not valid. Now maybe their tests were flawed, but after numerous confirmations from independent scientists, Heath Canada (responsible for Canada’s heath policies) and the Federal Occupational Health Agency, testing concluded that their product had at least an 8% containment of formaldehyde. Additional testing by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) found carcinogen ingredients in hair straightening products such as Brazilian Blowout.
What makes Brazilian Blowout argument seem flimsy is that they refuse to release their product ingredient list and instead have released their Product Safety Data Sheet (PSDS). This PSDS is basically safety precautions and doesn’t list one product ingredient. Since it is pretty standard for hair products to release their ingredient list, relying on a “privileged and confidential company information” excuse seems more to be avoiding legality than anything else. To top that, Brazilian Blowout now has a Brazilian Blowout Zero which claims to be a plant-derivative based product with no formaldehyde. I give them credit for listing this product’s ingredients on the web page (Original BB still does not list ingredients), but what was wrong with the original 100% safe, and no harsh chemical version?
You be the judge for what you think is safe and trustworthy and I’ll continue to stay on the lookout for the most organic, natural and trusted brands in hair treatments and hair straightening.

Still Using Off-the-Shelf Beauty Products?
For one who hasn’t made the switch to true natural/organic hair and facial products, ET, Oprah, or The View aren’t going to be ranting about the ill effects of toxic chemical laced beauty products anytime soon. OK, for sanity sake, let’s say the beauty product manufacturers and their scientific hired guns speak some truth to their claims that the amounts of chemicals applied to your scalp and skin are so minuet, that they have no detrimental effects to your overall health. These are same guys and gals who were tight-lipped about tobacco, asbestos, dioxins, formaldehyde, acrylamides and artificial sweeteners to name a few. Their credibility combined with the EPA’s inability to test approximately 80 percent of all high production volume chemicals plus some of the testing results (showing tumors, cancers and rashes in rats and mice) do not give one peace of mind. I don’t know about you, but not feeling the warm and fuzzy here.
Above video offers good chemical for thought info, even with the MLM Xango product at the end.
Our bodies consist of approximately two-million pores with sweat glands. These pores are concentrated in the scalp and facial areas. Though the jury is still out on levels of skin absorption and if chemicals leaked into the bloodstream cause any immediate or long-term effects, one has to question their trust and confidence in the industries “it’s all good” mantra.
Since the average woman uses about twelve personal products a day (approx. 515 chemicals) and men about six a day, we are constantly exposing ourselves to a barrage of these chemicals, not to mention, our family’s level of exposure. The reason our chemically laced beauty products are not seen as a blatant “Oh my God” issue, is because this has to do with long-term effects on our immune system. We are dealing with an exposure to numerous toxic chemical every day. With this breakdown of our defense mechanisms, we become susceptible to the most common of aliments and diseases because of the state of our heath and our body’s imbalanced energy. This is not to say that our environment, genetics, and other habits such as poor diet, lack of sleep and exercise, state of mind and negative thoughts don’t contribute to a weak immune system, it just shows that personal toxic beauty products add to the problem.
First hand as a stylist and colorist, I experienced negative effects from toxic color dyes, hair sprays and shampoos. My symptoms were rashes, low energy and difficulty breathing which made me a true believer. Praise the organic!
OK, this video isn’t prefect, but it does stimulate thought. I’ve heard and seen the critiques that make some valid points in not having enough back-up support or that the video is scaring the public. That said, I think the critics miss the point.
Personal care products are not subject to FDA pre-market approval authority the way food and drugs are scrutinized. Additionally, the self-regulating body CIR (Cosmetic Ingredient Review) does not have a great record where they’ve reviewed only approximately 11% of personal care products over a thirty year period. Bottom line is if you have complete faith in the FDA and CIR looking out for your personal care product safety and health, good luck with that. But if your willing to take some of your own responsibility, do a little research, read labels, and use natural/organic ingredient products, you’ll have a better chance of avoiding the next carcinogen ingredient laced product announced on the six o’clock news.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p. The Redskins won a memorable and hard-fought contest, 17-14, against the Seahawks in Week 9. Washington overcame copious injuries that helped limit the Redskins to playing only 42 players out of their 46 allotted game day active roster spots. The defense held the Seattle offense scoreless on its first 10 possessions of the game, not surrendering any points until early in the fourth quarter.

A. It was the banks’ excessive risk-taking and failure which ultimately led to a huge state bailout (the cost of which we’re all still picking up), the credit crunch and associated recession, and collapse in tax revenues. Putting all our economic eggs in one deregulated financial services basket clearly didn’t work. We still need to learn important lessons from that.
But we’ve also seen the slowest pace of ‘recovery’ on record. I hope things are now finally picking up, but we should recognise that what Chancellor George Osborne did – a very sharp fiscal tightening in the context of strong economic headwinds – weighed heavily on growth, making it harder for the government to meet its own fiscal targets. Osborne’s whole narrative – that ultra-tight spending cuts were needed to avert a Greek-style bond market strike – was fiction. Rather, long-term interest rates remain low, and are really a reflection of ongoing economic weakness.
Q. The UK’s coalition Government says they’re only dealing with what they inherited. But is their dual policy of public sector cutbacks and long-term infrastructure investment going to work?
A. There’s no sustainable growth strategy from my point of view. Forget genuine rebalancing towards making things rather than consumer spending. What the government has done is to go back to the old strategy of stimulating a house price boom in the hope of boosting confidence and spending. That’s what helped get us into this mess, and isn’t going to lay a basis for sustainable growth, sadly.
In particular, that rebalancing isn’t going to happen automatically – we need a more active industrial strategy to push things along and actively support exporters. For example, small firms in some sectors could potentially access overseas markets but can’t gear up to do so because of banking system weaknesses (hence the need for a new state-backed business bank and more support for exporters).
Q. Regional development agencies like Advantage West Midlands (AWM) were axed by the coalition, with the vision that Local Enterprise Partnerships could do much better. What are the LEPs
in the Black Country, Coventry and Birmingham getting right and wrong?
A. What we actually saw with the abolition of RDAs was both a major cut in funding for regional development outside of London and a substantial recentralisation of powers to London – despite the language of ‘localism’. What’s on offer London (which kept its development agency) isn’t available elsewhere in England.
We effectively have two regions – London, and the rest. In different ways, both Birmingham and the Black Country LEPs are trying hard both to revitalise the advanced manufacturing base and to diversify the local economy. But this is one local economy and having two LEPs locally makes no sense at all. We’ve been left with a fragmented patchwork of LEPs, with insufficient powers and resources. Some will work, some won’t. At the very least, there’s a role for an ‘intermediate’ tier to join up the work of LEPs in areas like intelligence-gathering, cluster policy, innovation policy and accessing EU funding.
Q. Baron Heseltine excited many LEPs – especially Greater Birmingham and Solihull – about the possibility of a £70bn ‘single pot’ of devolved government funding. But only a fraction was offered
by the Chancellor. Is this enough to spark growth? And if not, what should happen next?
A. The ‘single pot’ that Osborne announced for 2015-16 was peanuts – just £2bn. This won’t make them the economic powerhouses we’d hoped for. Oddly, it might be a future Labour government that could be keener on implementing Heseltine’s ideas than a future Conservative one. Labour in particular is trying to figure out what to do with LEPs, recognising that it couldn’t – if elected – scrap them as the current government did with RDAs, as that would cause yet more chaos and alienate businesses which have put considerable time and effort into making a go of LEPs.
Vince Cable had warned that LEPs don’t have the capacity to handle big amounts of money. Yet this argument over a lack of democratic accountability shouldn’t be used to forestall broader devolution, especially to English cities – Birmingham and the Black Country included.
Look north and some interesting developments are emerging in the form of new ‘combined authorities’ built of cooperating councils, which have the legal footing to receive large amounts of public cash and which have some public accountability. It’s this model which could offer the potential for channelling public money down to a local level. That’s something West Midland councils could usefully look at.
Q. Despite the global recession, Jaguar Land Rover has helped to revive the Midlands automotive industry. How have they done it? And for how long can this continue?
A. Ultimately, it’s about making beautiful cars that people want to own and drive. What’s so positive about JLR’s recent bumper sales and profits is that the firm has done well in core markets like the Europe and US while expanding rapidly in emerging markets like China, now its biggest market, driven by its Range Rover and Land Rover brands. Jaguar, meanwhile, is doing much better than it was but still has key gaps in its range even after the launch of the fabulous F-type. It urgently needs a ‘baby Jag’ to compete head on with the BMW 3 series, for example. The hope is that this can become sustainable growth over the medium to long-term. It needs to be, as the firm faces significant, albeit manageable, challenges over the next few years. Firstly, the firm is small compared to key premium rivals such as BMW (which sells four or five times as many cars). Over the medium term JLR needs much bigger volumes to generate cash for new model development.
On this the firm’s going in the right direction, and has ambitious expansion plans. Secondly, under Tata ownership JLR has so far been able to ride on the back of huge investment by Ford in new platforms. The XF, XJ and Evoque were all basically built on Ford investment. From the F-Type onwards, JLR and Tata are effectively on their own. The strategy has to be built on big investment in new technologies and models, funded by big profits and continued growth. On this, prospects look good, barring another major economic and financial downturn, which tends to hit the premium sector hard. JLR can continue to grow the business significantly over the next decade, if it gets the cars right.
Q. What other business sectors are making a difference in the region? And which sectors are you
most worried about?
A. From serious games and creative industries, through tourism and business services, to advanced manufacturing, aerospace, biotech and green technologies, we have a much more diversified local economy. The low carbon technologies being developed here are being applied in different sectors and we see spill-overs between different sectors. Yet despite some recently positive signals, figures on manufacturing (key for exports) and the trade deficit both suggest that the much-hoped for rebalancing (to making things and exporting things) simply isn’t happening on any significant scale, and that this is impacting locally. In part it’s because manufacturing has been in the doldrums. The recent pick-up in the Manufacturing PMI suggests this sector may at last be pulling out of recession and could stop being a drag on growth. But leaving aside the recent – and remarkable – export successes of the automotive sector, what’s left of our wider manufacturing base simply doesn’t have the capacity to export out of trouble.
Q. What is the likely impact of the new high speed rail links for the Midlands?
A. The economic case for HS2 between London and Birmingham has been over-stated, as recent reports rightly indicate. But there is a good case for the long-distance London to the North high-speed line and, as it goes past Birmingham, we clearly want to be connected to it. So I’m in favour – but not necessarily for the reasons that the business community here put up about boosting local business.
I think the real benefit will come via linking to the airport and boosting the airport’s connectivity in the UK, while a longer runway boosts international connectivity.But HS2 is not enough if our creaking local infrastructure means it still takes an hour and half to get to Coventry from where I live, or a gruelling bus journey into Birmingham city centre. Our local infrastructure is holding things back. HS2 should be seen as part of a more general upgrading of our infrastructure – but also we need to make sure that local connectivity is improved.
Q. Can the Airports Commission be persuaded to make the West Midlands integral to the UK’s plans for coping with aviation growth? Or is a second runway for Birmingham Airport
a lost cause?
A. There’s a strong case to be made here and business leaders and politicians need to get behind it, given the links between the West Midlands and India and the Far East. Think of Tata with JLR and Shanghai Automotive with MG Motors, the extensive links between our local universities and those in China and the Far East. If we really want to export of way out of trouble we need to give local businesses a world-class infrastructure.
Q. What other major investment plans in the West Midlands should big businesses be focusing on?
A. This shift in economic growth and power to the emerging economies is the definitive economic trend of this century. We need to capitalise on it; if British-based firms don’t sell their goods and services there then firms from rival trading nations will do, as will rapidly-developing domestic firms in the likes of China and India keen to adopt western technologies and snap up Western brands. So we should be doing everything possible to encourage our firms to export.

Various government programs are in place to support the education sector. These programs aim to improve the quality of education and increase the effectiveness of education institutions. They also seek to increase the knowledge and skills of students, increase productivity, and improve the overall economic development of a country.
Assessment of learning, aptitudes and skills
Educators use a variety of assessment tools to evaluate student learning. These methods range from formal quizzes to informal questioning techniques. They also include the use of scoring guides and rubrics. A good assessment plan should include a statement of purpose, as well as a set of student learning outcomes.Formative and summative assessments are the two major types of educational assessment. In the formative phase, students take part in a number of activities designed to help them develop their critical thinking skills. These activities include group projects, presentations, and writing assignments. They are typically administered several times during an academic program.Summative assessment is the process by which students demonstrate what they have learned during a defined instructional period. In the case of AP classes, for example, students are required to conduct research, solve problems, and participate in leadership roles. The process is primarily a means for teachers to measure the effectiveness of their teaching.
Approaches to community mobilization
Whether it is an emergency response effort, an education campaign or other public health initiative, the involvement of the community is essential. These efforts are guided by a strategic plan that contains objectives, goals, and key indicators. It should also identify social and structural changes that are required for success.Strategies should be focused on strengthening local leadership, improving resource mobilization, and improving stakeholder participation. The evaluation of these efforts will help determine whether they are effective in addressing the challenges facing the community.Community mobilisation is a collaborative approach that aims to engage all members of the community. These stakeholders include community leaders, individuals, organizations, businesses, and government agencies. Each group has different capabilities and experiences. By engaging all stakeholders, the community identifies the problem, identifies resources, and identifies solutions. The community also evaluates the outcomes of these solutions.The evidence base for approaches to community mobilisation is mixed. Despite the lack of empirical evaluations, there are some studies that have found positive maternal health outcomes associated with community mobilisation.
Whether or not your local CMC is lucky enough to be part of the national treasure or not, the federal government has a vested interest in your educational experience. With that said, your CMC needs a plan to get you where you need to go. Luckily, the feds have a great web site to do just that, if you are willing to put in the time.There are many ways to get your CMC on the map. Among the best is to make a well thought out collection development policy. You need a strategy that is simple to understand, easy to implement and is aligned with your local goals and objectives. For example, if your CMC is tasked with promoting science, math, and reading in grades K to 12, you may want to focus on phonics and early literacy and math skills for younger students. Likewise, if you are tasked with fostering socialization and character building in grades 7 and 8, you may need to consider the use of humor and good manners.
Impact of child labor on productivity and socio-economic development
Despite the importance of child labour for achieving economic growth, there is little attention in the literature to its economic consequences. However, a multidimensional framework may help to address this. It can help to address issues related to global value chains, local livelihoods, and governance structures. It can also aid in the assessment of policy options to reduce child labor.Child labour is a social problem caused by poverty and inequalities. It disrupts human capital formation, negatively affects children’s health, and is a barrier to economic development. In addition, it can impede the education of the next generation.Child employment is the poor family’s enforced response to economic hardship. It provides a way to cope with periodic economic shocks. It may also lead to an increase in the need for child labour. It can also discourage the use of skill-oriented technologies, thus reducing the benefits of skilled labour.Economic growth can contribute to the reduction of child labour by inducing the spread of bank accounts, improving the functioning of banking infrastructure, and encouraging improvements in the credit market. It can also help to create a social safety net that provides insurance to vulnerable families.

The car radio has not changed much at all, so what we're doing with Tesla represents the future.
Google had used Lexus SUVs and even purpose-built vehicles by Roush Industries, and now it's discussing possible partnership with Ford for their self-driving cars. One might wonder why doesn't the company aim for the most talked about electric car brand of today? Tesla.
The Model S is Tesla's recent offering which comes with a hefty price tag of $70,000. This might be a reason why even though Google co-founders Sergey Brin & Larry Page once invested in the brand, producing Google Self-driving cars using Tesla might be deemed too expensive. But does the luxury car worth every penny?
Just recently, Spotify released a statement that they partnered with the premium electric car company especially its Model S. With this, owners of the Tesla Model S will have a Spotify Premium in-car access for free. As the company previously offered an in-car streaming music through Rdio which officially shut down operation Tuesday, Spotify secured a spot for their services.
It also has Autopilot feature which might be comparable to what Google Car offers.Tesla Model S owners in Europe, Australia, and Hong Kong can now have this voice-controlled access of Spotify Premium which the US will soon enough have as well. Car owners can now choose from more than 30-million songs which Spotify offers, ensuring a great music-filled ride.
Senior manager for Automotive Business Development at Spotify Jonathan Tarlton shared that their partnership with Tesla was developed for many months. "The car radio has not changed much at all, so what we're doing with Tesla represents the future," he said. "Tesla owners will be able to access a full premium experience, free from adverts." This access is only limited to accounts inside the Model S.
The Tesla Model S features a 17-inch touchscreen in its interior which will be where drivers can choose their Spotify preference. According to their website, said screen is "the gem of the interior...which is angled toward the driver and includes both day and night modes for better visibility without distraction. It puts rich content at your fingertips and provides mobile connectivity so you can easily find your destination, favorite song or a new restaurant."
Aside from great music experience, the car promises zero emission as it is made from advance electric power train and not having a gasoline internal combustion engine. It also has Autopilot feature which might be comparable to what Google Car offers. The Model S also has a 5-star rating in all categories of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) crash test ensuring you that you are beyond safe with this vehicle.
Owners of the Tesla Model S will have a Spotify Premium in-car access for free.
It certainly offers more than these features mentioned convincing everyone that with great price, comes great electric car! Tesla CEO and Product Architect Elon Musk also heads SpaceX which successfully made a history upright landing today. It seems Musk is making modern transportation milestone both in land and space with Tesla and SpaceX.

GM Racing has announced that their new line up of brushless motors are now available. Called the Brushless Pro, these new motors promise to have extremely high performance and high efficiency and are available in 5T, 7T, 8T, 9T and 12T. GM Racing are also releasing 2 new hard cased LiPo packs at the end of June.
GM Racing have announced that they have signed former European 1:12 On-road champion and multiple 1:10 Touring car vice European champion, Sakke Ahoniemi. The Corraly team driver will use the companys GM Genius Brushless speedo, GM brushless motors and GM VISCommander battery management system on up-coming races. He had this to say about the deal.
After a couple of months testing with GM brushless motors and speedo, I’m very convinced that GM is the right company to power up my Corally cars for best results. GM Genius Brushless speedo is amazingly good in all areas and GM brushless motors have good power, so I’m looking forward to next races.
Former European 1:10 Touring Car Champion, Jonas Kaerup, has made the change to GM racing. The Danish driver will be using the GM Genius Brushless speedo’s, GM’s EVO 3 brushless motors along with GM’s VISCommander battery management system. Furthermore his cars will sport Graupner’s receiver and servo’s.
Jonas comments on the change: ” I felt that the time for a change was right, now that Touring Car is entering a new era of brushless motors and 5 cells. I have signed a 2 year deal with GM/Graupner, and I am already impressed by how professionel they are. In my mind GM has one of the very best electronic speedcontrol systems in the world, as my German Corally Teammate Marc Fischer, has already shown on more occasions. I look really forward to racing for GM “.
A little piece, or perhaps a big piece, of news that we overlooked last week was the announcement that UK driver Chris Grainger has joined GM Racing. For brushless racing, the multiple British Champion will now power his Yokomo chassis with GM brushless controllers and motors, while for non brushless running he will continue with Team Checkpoint motors. Only last weekend Chris won the modified class at the opening round of the Schumacher BTCC championships, held at the Stafford track in the UK, which attracted a full entry of 120 racers.
More stuff from German company, GM Racing, with the release of new models to their range of Genius brushed / brushless speed controllers, namely the 50, 85 & 100. This new range features new software specially designed for model cars and boats, but also suitable for model aircraft and the Genius 85 and 100 sport a splashproof case, though only when used sensorless and as is the norm, the controller can automatically detect cell type, cell amount and motor type as well. Something to note is that Marc Fisher used a Genius 95 controller to win last months Snowbirds in 1/12th scale, so the pedigree is undeniable. Also available to compliment the GM Genius is this 2 line LCD screen programmer that allows you change the settings of the controller without the need for computer, something similar to what we saw from Quark.
More details can be found here (speedo) and here (programmer).
GM have released two new ranges of brushless motors for both competition and sport applications. First up is the new Evo3 competition motor which is a highly efficient, reliable and top end performance motor which is sensored for smooth and reactive control and which features multiple, extra-thick, windings together with an extremely low-loss design and sintered neodymium magnets to ensure enormous power and high efficiency. With the ability to adjust the sensor timing and the motors use of large cooling slots, you can really get the maximum from this motor. The Dr. Speed sport motor is similar to the Evo3 but is intended for sport applications, with both motors are available in a large number of winds and wind types.
More details can be found here (Evo3) and here (Dr. Speed).

Attempts are floundering to revive Idaho’s endangered woodland caribou, the rarest mammal in the lower 48 states, biologists say.
About 60 of the animals were transplanted from Canada into the Selkirk Mountains around Bonners Ferry and Priest Lake in 1987.
A recent survey of the herd shows only about 13 caribou remain in the 1,000 acres of protected habitat.
“The bottom line is the herd in the United States is not doing very well,” said Wayne Wakkinen, a research biologist for the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
At first biologists thought the caribou were migrating back into British Columbia. A herd of 39 animals there remains fairly strong.
By tracking some of the radio-collared caribou, Wakkinen said he discovered the animals in Idaho are not moving, but falling to predators like mountain lions.
Just three weeks ago, Wakkinen found a dead female caribou and her calf.
“The mountain lions are starting to ding away at the caribou and the mortality rate is exceeding the birth rate,” Wakkinen said.
That’s prompted the caribou recovery team to consider bringing another 60 to 75 animals in from British Columbia to bolster the dwindling herd.
This time the caribou would be relocated to the Washington side of the Selkirks.
“It’s too early to say the Idaho project didn’t work and why bother with saving the caribou,” said Suzanne Audet, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “It’s going to take a long time and some long-term management to get the herds back, just like it took a long time for them to become endangered.”
Biologists say the caribou need older forests to survive because in winter the higher canopies catch some of the snow and allow them to keep foraging closer to the ground. Years of logging and wildfires have destroyed some of that prime old growth habitat in Idaho.
“There is no quick fix. It’s going to take a long-term commitment, and one of my real concerns is if that commitment is there,” Wakkinen said. “Unless we can move the forest to an older-age structure, the future of the caribou doesn’t look good.”
The caribou habitat is now supporting an abundance of whitetail deer. The deer have drawn more mountain lions to the area, prompting more attacks on the caribou.
Wildlife officials did expand the mountain lion hunting season and have considered trapping and killing some of the big cats. But Wakkinen said that is not a good solution to the problem.
“Politically and socially it would be a hard sell to go in and kill a bunch of mountain lions,” he said. “The best thing to do is let the forest age.”
That could mean tougher restrictions on timber sales and cutbacks in recreational access to the Selkirks. That won’t sit well with loggers, snowmobilers or Boundary County residents.
Some complained last year when snowmobiles were banned from certain caribou wintering areas. A few years ago, a coalition of county residents even petitioned to have the caribou taken off the endangered species list.
“In light of a program that has not been a resounding success, some are saying if the area can’t support caribou let’s just forget about it,” Wakkinen said.
“But to me it’s an ethical question. Should we not care about a native species just because they get in our way? That may be the feeling on a local level, but I think the American public has decided as a whole that it’s worth the effort to have animals like the caribou.”
If the caribou recovery team does decide to transplant more animals into the Selkirks, Audet said it would not happen for at least a year. An environmental study would have to be done and public hearings held. Officials in British Columbia would also have to agree to give up some of its healthy herd.
“We think it’s an appropriate effort to pursue at this time, but there are still lots of hoops to go through,” Audet said.

Born-again Christians more likely to divorce than non-Christians, says study
And, according to the Barna Research Group, Baptists and Christians attending nondenominational churches are the most likely Christians to divorce. "While it may be alarming to discover that born again Christians are more likely than others to experience a divorce, that pattern has been in place for quite some time," says George Barna, "The high incidence of divorce within the Christian community challenges the idea that churches provide truly practical and life-changing support for marriages." Expect a flurry of commentary written about this study.
Did fanatics ruin Israel for other Christians?
Yesterday's USA Today suggests it's the case, but fails to note that tensions between Christians and Jews have some history in Jerusalem. "While most Christian pilgrims said they were treated well by ultra-Orthodox Jews, others complained that religious Jews mimicked their prayers, called them 'fanatics' and even cursed at them as they retraced the traditional steps of Jesus along Jerusalem's Via Delarosa [sic], or The Way of the Cross," the article states.
You can't step into the same stream twice
So goes an old saying. Nevertheless, Christians are arguing over no fewer than three sites claiming to be the place in the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized. ""We have no historical claim but still, we have the market for now," one site manager tells Canada's National Post.
Send back Cuban boy, says former NCC general secretary
Joan Brown-Campbell arrived in Cuba yesterday to meet with the father of the 6-year-old Cuban boy in the middle of a political tug-of-war. The NCC and Cuban Council of Churches are pushing for the child's return to Cuba. (See a related AP story)
Shakespeare's spiritual schizophrenia at Christmas
Two weeks ago, ChristianityToday.com looked at C.S. Lewis and Christmas. The newly launched Beliefnet.com goes further back and, in an article by Harvey Cox, looks at Christmas in Shakespeare's works.
Speaking of Harvey Cox …
The Harvard professor appeared New Year's Day on National Public Radio's Morning Edition to discuss the future of religion and spirituality in the United States, what the soul is, belief in good and evil, fundamentalism, his own prayers, and other such topics. (RealAudio player required.)
And speaking of Beliefnet …
It's been getting attention from the Associated Press, which compares its "nonsectarian" mission to "bring order to the chaos" to sites that "transmit one viewpoint" like ours. Gee, it's nice to be recognized.

Creating a new staircase within your home allows the design to have a certain flair and unique charm that can be restricted with a renovation project.Whether you want to provide a contrast to a rustic property or match the design of a modern self-build, our truly bespoke, design-driven staircases can become the focal point of your home. We aim to create light, space and an inspiring first impression with our designs.The majority of projects are completed in just 24 hours.Enquire Now
Our Recent Work
A BLANK CANVAS
Fitting a brand new staircase from scratch, rather than having a staircase renovation, is essentially like working with a blank canvas. The possibilities are endless.
You’re no longer limited to whether it remains open or closed, which way it faces or even where the staircase sits. If you have a picture in your mind of what your perfect staircase looks like, we can create it.
Creating a brand new bespoke staircase gives you the freedom to design something that meets the needs of the space it features in. Unlike a renovation, it allows you to control the smallest details, like gaps between the risers or using a mixture of materials.
Whether you choose a wood, glass or metal staircase, you can mix and match styles and finishes to complement or contrast with your décor, depending on the look that you want to achieve.
If you want to create more light and space, you can position your new staircase to do just that. Rather than walking into the house and seeing the back of a staircase, you can turn it around so that it becomes the focal point of your home. You can even move it to a completely different part of the house.
It’s also possible to combine a renovation and renewal in one project, we have worked on staircases where the higher section was renovated whilst the lower section became a completely new design and layout.
Whatever you have in mind, there is plenty of scope for innovative design within our company.


Buffalo Bills fans were discouraged on Saturday.
They were frustrated.
They were upset.
And that was before Saturday's preseason game at Ralph Wilson Stadium even started.
The latest fan backlash against the Bills had nothing to do with the team on the field, but rather had to do with what was happening outside in stadium parking lots.
The team introduced its new "Disney-style parking" at its two biggest lots on Saturday before the game with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which meant each vehicle was directed to park next to the one that entered the lot just before it.
The new rules are going to take some time to get used to -- and that's probably an understatement.
"I'm a season ticket holder for the worst team in the league," said Tamara King, 32, of Brantford, Ont. "I should be able to park where I want."
The problem is, drivers, like King, previously had been able to choose where to park. Fans had grown accustomed to rendezvousing with friends at their usual spots.
But now, if you're in stadium Lots 2 and 3, attendants will tell you where to park. And if you're not right on your friend's bumper, you may not be tailgating together. Or you'll be lugging your cooler to another part of the lot.
That's what happened with King and her husband, Rob.
They got separated from friends at the border, and didn't know about the new rules until they pulled into Lot 3 on Saturday afternoon.
"I will never park in a Bills parking lot again," said Rob King, 32. "Why don't they focus on putting a competitive team on the field instead of this?"
The experimental parking plan is part of this season's new driving rules designed to improve traffic flow and reduce conflicts between motorists and pedestrians.
Drivers often crossed paths with groups tossing a football around or setting up their tailgating parties in the lots, so the Bills organization wanted to diffuse some of that friction.
Presumably, the new system also will allow more vehicles into each lot, because there will be fewer large gaps between cars.
But based on interviews with nearly three dozen tailgaters, the Kings weren't the only frustrated fans in Lot 3.
"It's hard to meet up with your friends when they tell you where to park," said Ryan Smith, 31, of Buffalo.
"We're here for the tailgating and they're trying to take that away," added his friend, Chris Brown, 25, of Pendleton.
"It's causing more controversy because people are getting angry," said Brian Casillo, 28, of the Town of Tonawanda. "And this is a Kids Day crowd. Just wait."
The parking rule isn't the only change this season.
The stadium will become completely smoke-free this season. That obviously got approval from nonsmokers at the game on Saturday.
A short stretch west of Abbott Road, just outside the Orchard Park stadium, will be barricaded and closed off to vehicles starting five hours before every home game to reduce traffic congestion and improve pedestrian flow.
That change generally got a thumbs up from fans on Saturday, as well.
In June, the team announced that stadium parking lots will open four hours prior to kickoff, rather than five hours.
That got mixed reviews among the tailgaters.
But the new parking rules were obviously the biggest sore spot.
"What happens if you park next to people who smoke and you're not fans of that," said Fred Norris, 27, of South Buffalo. "Or what if you're next to fans from the other team?"
"We're going to go to a private lot where they'll let you park wherever -- and it's cheaper," said Jeff Urban, 29, of South Buffalo, referring to the $25 it cost to park in the Bills lot.
Some decided to withhold judgment.
It's an added inconvenience, but in the long run maybe it will work out, said Eleanor Garrett, of Welland, Ont.
"I got to be honest," added Garrett, a season ticket holder. "We went to New England three years ago and you parked where you were told to park and it worked fine."
Vaughn and Vivian Williams of Cheektowaga were among those tailgaters who didn't know about the change in parking rules until they arrived at the stadium on Saturday.
Vaughn Williams, 57, is hoping the Bills go back to the old parking rules once the organization sees how upset tailgaters were on Saturday.
Then again, Williams said, if the Bills have a good season, maybe fans won't really mind.

THE NHS did it, and now colleges may follow suit and look overseas for recruits to fill vacancies.
About 135,000 new college staff need to be recruited by 2010, according to Lifelong Learning UK (LLUK), the organisation responsible for developing the further education (FE) workforce. Growth in FE and an ageing workforce are key factors.
“We may have to look outside the European community. There may just not be the workforce available in these roles,” says David Hunter, the chief executive of LLUK, in The Times Educational Supplement (Jan 13). But Barry Lovejoy, the head of colleges at the lecturers’ union Natfhe, says that care must be taken not to damage education in poorer countries by inviting teachers to come and work in the UK.

SPIRIT ADRIFT announce their signing with Century Media Records
2019 was a banner year for SPIRIT ADRIFT. Their latest album “Divided By Darkness” made an undeniable impact on the landscape of heavy metal, placing high on nearly every major year-end list and receiving widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike. The band’s skyrocketing trajectory continues as they sign a deal that will see their next album released by Century Media Records outside North America, while 20 Buck Spin (who released “Divided By Darkness” and 2017’s highly-acclaimed “Curse Of Conception”) handling the domestic release.
SPIRIT ADRIFT began as an outlet for multi-instrumentalist Nate Garrett, who started the band in 2015 as a studio project encompassing his love for hard rock sensibilities and multiple strains of timeless heavy metal. With the addition of permanent drummer Marcus Bryant, the band started performing live in 2017 and swiftly became a force to be reckoned with.
With Divided By Darkness, SPIRIT ADRIFT honed their riff obsessions into a mastery of all things heavy, as Garrett further evolved as a songwriter and vocalist. The record united metal fans across the spectrum, garnering a range of stylistic comparisons from classics like Black Sabbath, Metallica, and Judas Priest to modern heavy hitters like Mastodon, The Sword, and Ghost.
In the live setting, SPIRIT ADRIFT have stunned audiences in the US and Europe, including multiple headlining tours and highly acclaimed sets at US rock festivals such as Migration Fest, Psycho Las Vegas, Northwest Terror Fest, Sacramento’s Aftershock, Thrasher Magazine’s “Death Match” series, and the Los Angeles edition of Decibel Magazine’s Metal and Beer Festival to close out 2019 (in addition to the East Coast installment of the fest back in 2018). European audiences will be able to catch the band this coming April and May as they offer direct support to fellow volume dealers, Corrosion of Conformity.
Check out their current video “Angel & Abyss”:
SPIRIT ADRIFT comment the signing to Century Media Records as follows:
“We’re thrilled about our new partnership with Century Media. Everyone we’ve dealt with at the label has been a pleasure to work with right out of the gate. We already feel a strong sense of mutual respect, and it’s clear the label and the band share a united vision for the future. 2020 will be a transformative period for SPIRIT ADRIFT, and Century Media is the perfect new partner to spread our music to as many people as possible. We say it every time, but we mean it every time: our new material is our strongest to date.
The songs we’ve been working on encapsulate each era of the band, while experimenting even further with the limits of what we can achieve. As always, we are pushing ourselves to explore fresh ideas without abandoning our identity. As always, we are pushing the limits of our playing abilities. And as always, you can expect the unexpected. Thank you all for the continued support, and we’ll see you soon.”
Philipp Schulte, Director Century Media Records Europe, comments:
“Welcome Spirit Adrift to Century Media Records! We are stoked to be working with America’s finest export of riff-driven, straight and melodic metal. The band’s current album “Divided by Darkness” is a shining example for timeless, heartfelt and honest music and justly earned them worldwide praise from fans and media. Now 2020 opens another chapter with the European tour with C.O.C. taking off this spring and new music at the horizon in the second half of the year. We’re happy to be part of SPIRIT ADRIFT’s journey. This is real US metal for the new decade!”
Re-issues of their records “Curse Of Conception” and “Divided By Darkness” will be released on April 24th via Century Media Records available as a ltd. Digipak and colored LP. 2020 also promises the band’s fourth full-length which will be released on Century Media in Europe and on 20 Buck Spin in North America.
SPIRIT ADRIFT will also accompany Corrosion Of Conformity on their tour across Europe in May 2020.

Justin Bieber Kicked out of the Club
Justin Bieber was kicked out of the night club after the cops found out that the club served him liquor and the club got a citation for that too. Bieber who is 19 was in the premises of a night club in Chicago and was allegedly having alcohol and as soon as the police came to know about him and his crew getting into the club they got notice and kicked him out.
The story goes down like this, Bieber and his bunch of loser fellas went into the Bodi night club past Tuesday and the club welcomed them and on top of that they served them alcohol on their order. The police picked the news and reached the spot and caught them bare handed, the club management was investigated and it was soon found that liquor was served breaking the under 21+ rule in absence of parent or guardian which in turn ended into a citation against them.
The ticket was issued by the police to Bodi Nightclub for admitting and knowingly having underage persons in the establishment and the fine is yet to be decided after the case is heard by the hearing officer after which they would be charged, but honestly cops should have beaten them first to give them a lesson of their lifetime but sadly, it didn't happen!

By David Alire Garcia
SALINITAS, El Salvador (Reuters) - Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc, the world's biggest fair-trade coffee buyer, expects to purchase about a fifth more coffee during the new fiscal year, up from 180 million pounds last year, said a top company buyer.
Green Mountain (GMCR) coffee buyer Stacy Bocscor said the spread of the fungus roya in Central America has yet to dent the company's buying habits, which are up more than seven fold from 25 million pounds sold in 2006.
"I believe we're looking at about 20 percent growth," Bocscor told Reuters on the sidelines of the Let's Talk Roya conference in Salinitas, El Salvador.
The worst outbreak of leaf rust fungus since it reached Central America in 1976 is ravaging the region's plantations, slashing output in 2012/13, and is likely to dog the region for several years.
Green Mountain, which makes the Keurig brewing system and the K-Cups that go with it, is the leader in the small-but-growing U.S. market for single-serve coffee.
Fair trade coffee that guarantees producers a higher price comprised about 55 million pounds of the coffee purchased by Green Mountain during the past fiscal year, which ended in September.
While a third of the company's fair-trade coffee last year was sourced from Central American farmers, Bocscor said it is too soon to know if the region's current 2013/2014 season will produce and sell the same volume as last season due to roya.
"We definitely have a lot of partners that are struggling with this, and we're struggling with them," she said.
Bocscor said Green Mountain, which started as a small Vermont coffee company, focuses on long-term contractual relationship with coffee farmers and cooperatives and is not inclined to walk away even as some of the producers that supply its coffee have been hit hard by roya.
"Why would I want to walk away from all that effort," she said, noting the more than 80 cooperatives across Central American and Mexico that provide the company's coffee. Some of these contractual relationships are more than two decades old.
"The last thing I want to do is start over," she said.
While many in the industry speculate that coffee from Brazil, the world's largest arabica producer, is being smuggled into Colombia where the government subsidizes coffee, Bocscor said she has yet to see any proof.
"There's no evidence from my supply chain that has happened," she said.
While roya, also known as coffee leaf rust, has prompted dire predictions of falling yields on low prices, Bocscor notes that the industry has a long history of overcoming difficulties.
"The industry has survived crisis after crisis for years, and we are still drinking coffee," she said. "If anything, it's a testament to how the coffee industry is a survivor."

US sanctions sale of missile, torpedoes worth $155 million to India
The Pentagon said that India will make use of the ‘enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats’ and to strengthen its defense.
The United States on Monday approved the sale of Harpoon air-launched missiles and lightweight torpedoes worth $155 million to India, PTI reported. President Donald Trump conveyed his determination to confirm the deal, following a request made by the Indian government to provide the two military hardware.
According to the Pentagon, the Harpoon missile system will be integrated into the P-8I aircraft to carry out anti-surface warfare missions in defense of critical sea lanes while enhancing interoperability with the United States and other allied forces. “India will use the enhanced capability as a deterrent to regional threats and to strengthen its homeland defense,” the Pentagon said.
The sale of ten AGM-84L Harpoon Block II air launched missiles is estimated to cost $92 million, while 16 MK 54 All Up Round Lightweight Torpedoes, and three MK 54 Exercise Torpedoes are estimated to cost $63 million, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in two separate notifications to the US Congress. While the Harpoon missiles will be manufactured by Boeing, the torpedoes would be supplied by Raytheon, the notification added.
The Pentagon said the proposed sale of military equipment will support US’ foreign policy and national security by helping to strengthen the strategic relationship it shares with India. “[It will] improve the security of a major defence partner, which continues to be an important force for political stability, peace, and economic progress in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia region,” it added.
The proposed defence support, however, will not alter the military balance in the region, the Pentagon assured India in both its notifications.

The small town Colorado girl who’s obsessed with home and everything that entails! I’m a creative, a decorator, a day dreamer, a huge fan of scones, and I’m passionate about loving where I live and making a home.
I’m back today to share our fall front porch! I’ve had so much fun pulling everything together, so it definitely deserves its own post!
Inspired by the great outdoors, I based our entire front porch off of all the cozy elements that really scream fall to me.
I took full advantage of our corn field and chopped down several stalks to display. I just love them!
And an extra big welcome sign is sure to make everyone feel welcomed, including me! I’ll share the tutorial later this week!
I added our chalkboard sign pole and just love how it looks!
And after rummaging through my parents farm, I’ve also found several other items, like the crate and wire basket. I pulled the gallon mason jars out of my grandma’s basement.
I love a cozy place to sit and I’m already taking advantage of this one!
Wood slabs are great for risers and they give that extra element of texture, which I really love.
Remember back when I shared our wheat harvest? Well, I grabbed some of that too… it’s perfect in the jars!
Pinecones made an appearance too!
And I also have an obsession with this black and gray plaid…
And sweater blankets…
And let’s add split firewood to my list of loves…
Now, as long as the wind doesn’t blow like crazy, this should last us until it’s time to decorate for Christmas…
Wait, did I just say Christmas? Oh goodness…
P.S. Don’t mind the wood glue that’s peeking out on the chairs… I didn’t notice it when I was editing the pictures… 😀
Linking up to:
Join me as I share several easy to implement ideas that will give your home a breath of fresh air and leave you feeling excited about the changes you see by the end of the week!
