The new Housing Secretary, Michael Gove, must remake the rental sector in a fairer and more stable form.
That’s the view of Baroness Alicia Kennedy, the director of the activists’ group Generation Rent.
Responding to news of his new appointment following the Cabinet reshuffle, the Baroness says: “Michael Gove inherits a housing market that is destroying voters’ faith in the system. A safe and stable home is the foundation of a successful life, but millions of people don’t have that, because their landlord doesn’t need a reason to evict them.
"Frequent unwanted moves in the private sector make it impossible for renters to settle down or save a deposit on their first home.
“Renters have been waiting nearly two and a half years for the government to fulfil its promise to end unfair evictions – getting older and seeing their dreams crumble in that time.
"To give renters control over their lives and a stake in their local communities, Mr Gove must seize this opportunity to remake the private rental market as a provider of long term homes.”
Earlier this week Generation Rent said it wanted the introduction of open ended secure tenancies, and the creation of a national register of landlords to raise standards.

My Lords, I thank the Minister for bringing forward today’s debate and for giving us the opportunity to celebrate International Women’s Day. It is humbling, as ever, to follow in the footsteps of such inspiring women on this important day. But in this august Chamber, which has seen debates on and the passage of many important Bills that further the cause of gender equality, it is perhaps time to recognise the limits of legislation in getting us where we need to be.
I say this on the 100th anniversary of the sex disqualification Act, which opened up the professions and universities to women. It was an essential step, but not nearly sufficient when it comes to true equality of opportunity across the gender divide. What we now see is a system where the letter of the law is gender neutral but, in practice, we are a long way from declaring victory. For a start, we cannot legislate away a sexist culture. The law protects us in extremis but not from everyday casual sexism. It happens to all of us. Only recently, as I insisted on a particular detail in a contract, my boss was asked, “How do you put up with her?” In a man, it is seen as attention to detail but in a woman, it is—what?—nagging or being bossy.
I have long argued against a narrow focus on quotas, preferring merit and persuasion, but the time has come to ask who is deciding the merit. We need to stop playing by male rules and unpick the male bias that pervades every aspect of our economy and society. The Hampton-Alexander review into improving gender balance in the FTSE leadership found that merit was coded “male”. Briefs to recruit people to senior positions are written for men. Concerns were often raised that women lacked City experience because they were less well-known on the networking circuit. Similarly, in a recent book called Invisible Women, it was found that everything from crash test dummies, to office heating settings, to medicine dosage, is all coded for men.
We now live in an age where female qualities are better understood and recognised. In the magnificently titled book Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?, the author highlights the bias towards confidence, and even self-absorption, as qualities. This blocks opportunities for women, and indeed for men who do not obviously exhibit those qualities.
The question is not whether male and female brains are different, but why society still insists on labelling male brains as better. My daughter, studying physics at university, was recently appalled at the treatment by male students of a top female lecturer. They repeatedly interrupted her, questioning her analysis and intelligence in a way they simply did not do with male professors. This is not an isolated incident. Studies show that students appear to evaluate women poorly simply because they are women.
Top companies know the benefits that ensue from more gender diversity, not least in financial performance, but despite some excellent progress there remains a profound sense of inertia. Indeed, the Hampton-Alexander review demonstrates that, even with the facts on superior performance and the prospect of more transparency and disclosure, listed companies can and do continue to resist change.
In a debate last year in this Chamber on women in public life, the noble Baroness, Lady Kennedy, made the point that we have tried to “make nice” and adjust our demands to the male norm, but it is time to structurally re-engineer our whole society. Only then will we be able to unpack inbuilt cultural gender bias that the law cannot reach. The noble Baroness’s speech resonated in so many ways. Countless times, I have been told not to make a fuss, but we need to be less complacent and continue to fight. She finished her remarks by calling for quotas and all-women shortlists. In the face of the evidence and the lack of progress, that is harder to resist. We need to stop messing around and take this agenda seriously. It is worth making a fuss. Until and unless we do so, women will be behind for another century, and that is simply unacceptable.

There is a lot of talk about coffee freshness and how it is directly affected by grinding. It's pretty common for customers to ask their local coffee shop for their whole bag of coffee. This is because some people don't have the luxury to have a coffee grinder at home.
Why do many people think grinding the whole bag of coffee is a mistake? And why do people think it's not the best way to have coffee at home?
Before talking about the effects of grinding your coffee too early, it is good to know a few facts about whole bean coffee first. Coffee doesn't retain its freshness for a long time, especially if it isn't placed in proper packaging and storage. Ideally, you want to consume your coffee one to three weeks after its roast date. Roasters have done the math and created profiles for coffees to reach their peak the moment you have them at home.
Now that you know a bit about coffee beans and its freshness, it's now time to discuss what grinding can do to your coffee:
It may compromise the characteristics and quality of your coffee
It is preferred that you grind your coffee before brewing because you're getting all the flavours trapped in the bean fresh and in high quality. When you grind all your coffee beans too early, you risk exposing your ground coffee to elements that quickly decrease the quality of your coffee.
If you're looking for fresh, vibrant, and a balanced cup of coffee at home, grinding your whole coffee bag may reduce the chances of you having that perfect cup.
It has a higher chance of getting destroyed by oxygen
When storing coffee, you should remember to place them in an air-tight container away from sunlight, heat, moisture, and air. When you grind your coffee, you are exposing them to too much oxygen.
Coffee and oxygen aren't great friends. Oxygen quickly decays and stales your coffee, making it lose its quality and flavours faster. What oxygen does is to break down the acids found in your coffee. These acids are huge factors that give your coffee aromas, tastes, and body. When you expose your coffee to air, especially when they're ground, you compromise the coffee's cell structure and lose its best characteristics.
This is one of the biggest reasons you shouldn't grind your coffee in big batches. It lessens the quality, and it doesn't give you the best-tasting coffee your taste buds deserve.
You'll only be getting convenience out of batch-grinding
Unfortunately, when your barista grinds your coffee, your coffee's quality timer has started to tick. Though placed in an air-tight container, the first layer of coffee from the opening has begun to lose its qualities.
Every time you get coffee ground, the faster the coffee in the container loses its characteristics. Because you're dealing with ground coffee, you expose them to different elements that they can absorb every time you open the container.
If you want to experience great cups of coffee, it is best to invest in a coffee grinder for you to use at home. There are high-quality coffee gear that is accessible to the public. You can even ask your local barista for some recommendations.
Although grinding a whole bag of coffee isn't entirely a mistake, you're just compromising the good qualities of your coffee. If you want to have better coffee at home, it's a good idea to get yourself a grinder that will help give you fresh coffee grounds. Better coffee starts with having a better understanding of how coffee reacts to all the elements; once you know this, you'll find better ways to make great coffee at home.
The Wood Roaster is a specialty coffee roaster in Marrickville, Sydney. We are a team of coffee experts who provide excellent quality coffee to our customers. We offer single-origin specialty coffee, blends, Nespresso compatible pods, and even coffee gear. Start having better coffee at home and check out our products!

EDITORIAL: Loopholes galore
All the faces of corruption should be unmasked and corrupt people must be mercilessly punished, and they should be socially despised too
The Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) nabs some people from time to time and files legal cases of corruption against them in the Special Court.
Some of the accused are convicted; others are cleared of the charges. Right now, the anti-graft agency has just filed cases against eight officials of Transport Management Office, Itahari, including three under-secretaries, on charges of revenue embezzlement. They faced action after a CIAA probe committee found that they had embezzled more than Rs.612 million in the past three years.
The accused had deposited just Rs.618 million as revenue collected in 2014-15, whereas the actual collection stood at Rs.657 million. The misappropriated amount rose sharply in the following year (2015-16) to Rs.256 million. The transport office collects vehicle tax and road maintenance tax and has to deposit all the revenue in the government’s bank accounts.
One also wonders at the actual scale and spread of corruption which can take innumerable forms when government servants do not hesitate to pocket even collected government revenue which is already in the record books.
Corruption is committed in purchases, in delivery of numerous kinds of services to the public, in awarding contracts and in certifying completion of contracted work, in giving privilege, incentives or tax waivers to businessmen and others, in under-invoicing and over-invoicing, in favouring people in appointments, lucrative postings, as well as promotion, in reducing tax or other liability, in clearing goods through the customs checkpoints, and in innumerable other areas of government jurisdiction.
Despite sporadic examples of CIAA action, corruption has not abated. Ever-growing corruption is shown in the annual reports of the Auditor’s General, among other things, as unsettled accounts amounting to many billions of rupees.
The country is still in the tight grip of the unholy alliance of business, politicians and bureaucrats. We can also find an indication of this in the fact that unless the autonomous CIAA acts, as in the recent case of tax waivers, including VAT, amounting to Rs.21 billion, government bosses hardly ever act against their erring subordinates.
Failure to take action against offenders or do one’s prescribed duty should also be punishable, which is not so in many cases in the country. Through that loophole, corrupt leaders and employees harass service seekers till they are driven to desperation to be ready to pay under the table.
The branches of the CIAA should be expanded together with the human and other resources, equipment and technology through which it can do its duty better. In the selection of most commissioners and the employees of the CIAA too, enough attention and rigour are not shown by the political leaders, leading to a perennially less effective CIAA.
There is no system by which the spending, bank accounts, other properties, and lifestyles of the holders of public office may be deeply investigated and action initiated against those who cannot prove their honesty. There is thus much virgin territory in corruption monitoring and prosecuting in the country which should be fully explored.
All the faces of corruption should be unmasked and corrupt people must be mercilessly punished, and they should be socially despised too.
Youngsters are easily lured to take narcotic drugs due to peer group influence, and it is very difficult to be free from drug abuse once they indulge in such practice.
In order to raise awareness among youths about the consequences of taking narcotic drugs in society and family, the Ministry of Home Affairs has launched a week long campaign urging the students and youth to avoid the use of illicit drugs that may be detrimental to their life if no cure is taken on time.
It is the family members who have to bear a huge burden to take care of their children.
Young people can be prevented from taking illicit drugs if the government agencies, drug dealers, society and parents keep vigil on the narcotic and illicit drugs being circulated in the market through a network. Home Ministry says that over 90,000 are addicted to illicit drugs across the country and, it is on the rise.
It cannot be controlled unless all come together to fight the illicit trade and trafficking of life threatening drugs. Awareness campaigns must be launched in schools and colleges where a large number of youth study.

Background: Dose calculation algorithms play a very important role in predicting the explicit dose distribution. We evaluated the percent depth dose (PDD), lateral depth dose profile, and surface dose volume histogram in inhomogeneous media using calculation algorithms and inhomogeneity correction methods. Materials and Methods: The homogeneous and inhomogeneous virtual slab phantoms used in this study were manufactured in the radiation treatment planning system to represent the air, lung, and bone density with planned radiation treatment of 6 MV photons, a field size of 10 × 10 cm2, and a source-to-surface distance of 100 cm. Results: The PDD of air density slab for the Acuros XB (AXB) algorithm was differed by an average of 20% in comparison with other algorithms. Rebuild up occurred in the region below the air density slab (10–10.6 cm) for the AXB algorithm. The lateral dose profiles for the air density slab showed relatively large differences (over 30%) in the field. There were large differences (20.0%–26.1%) at the second homogeneous–inhomogeneous junction (depth of 10 cm) in the field for all calculation methods. The surface dose volume histogram for the pencil beam algorithm showed a response that was approximately 4% lower than that for the AXB algorithm. Conclusion: The dose calculation uncertainties were shown to change at the interface between different densities and in varied densities using the dose calculation methods. In particular, the AXB algorithm showed large differences in and out of the field in inhomogeneous media.

This chocolate pancakes millefeuille is a real extravaganza, a showpiece as the finale to a special dinner or presented with candles as a birthday cake.
- 16 classic pancakes, cooked and cooled
For the chocolate sauce
- 250 g. dark chocolate, broken up
- 50 g. unsalted butter, diced
- 170 mL full-cream milk
- 50 mL Double cream
- 100 mL strong black coffee
- 50 g. Caster sugar
- To make the chocolate sauce, place the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water and gently melt it. Whisk in the butter, and once this has melted whisk in the milk, cream, coffee and sugar. Transfer the sauce to a cool bowl, cover the surface with clingfilm and set aside until required. It will firm up to the consistency of double cream as it cools.
- To assemble the pudding spread a little chocolate sauce on the base of a gratin dish, as wide as the pancakes, then layer the pancakes spreading each one with about 1½ tablespoons of the chocolate sauce. Expect this to ooze out into the bottom of the dish as you get higher. You should have about a third of the sauce left over at the end. Cover the chocolate pancakes stack with foil. You can prepare the pudding to this point several hours in advance, in which case set it aside somewhere cool.
- To serve it, heat the oven to 170°C, gas mark 3, and reheat the pudding for 20-25 minutes. In the meantime gently reheat the remaining chocolate sauce in a small saucepan. Remove the foil and coat the surface with the sauce, allowing it to run down the sides of the chocolate pancakes, and serve straightaway, cut into wedges like a cake.

What is a no fault Divorce?
By Sammi Lindop
The new Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 is due to come in force on 6 April 2022. This will introduce the new ‘no fault’ divorce making the divorce process less acrimonious and in turn, the aim is to make the process of sorting out associated matters such as finances and children much smoother for all involved.
What was the old law?
Until now, the only way to achieve a divorce unless parties have been separated for two years has been to cast blame upon your husband or wife either by applying for divorce based upon their unreasonable behaviour or adultery. In adultery cases there is the additional burden in that the respondent would have to sign a statement admitting the same.
What are the changes?
The new way of applying for a divorce will be much simpler. The party making the application will have to provide a statement setting out that the marriage has irretrievably broken down and confirm that there is no prospect of reconciliation. This statement will be conclusive evidence in support of the divorce. The court will then grant a divorce order based upon that application and accompanying statement.
This new act will also allow the parties to apply jointly which has never been allowed under current law. Therefore, amicable separations are more likely.
Another difference in the new law is that there will be no option for the respondent to defend the petition. The only option would be to dispute the divorce however there are limited options to be able to do this.
The process and timescales will remain very similar however, with some slight terminology changes. The middle stage of the divorce now known as Decree Nisi will become a Conditional Order and a Decree Absolute will become a Final Order. The Court have also expressed that email service of the divorce application is preferred, again making the process much easier and quicker than having to do this through the post.
In relation to costs, the Court fee payable to the Court is currently £593 and this will remain the same going forward.

Usually, for the best cost toward good re-finance, try to provides a premier credit history (over 700 is advisable). A card partnership could be way more versatile with borrowing standards than simply the higher participants.
Application and you can Fico scores
When you have one or more student loan and are lookin so you can consolidate them to your one to mortgage, an effective re-finance owing to a cards relationship is actually an alternative. Refinancing their finance due to a card connection can save you currency by possibly providing you with a lower life expectancy interest than you are currently expenses payday loan unlock weekend in Backyard Urban area Michigan.
You may have to submit an application for a good re-finance due to a card relationship really. Borrowing unions do not have as greater otherwise comprehensive regarding an enthusiastic on the internet visibility as numerous banking institutions manage, therefore the software techniques might need a bit more real papers more than digital apps.
Financial institutions may promote an effective preapproval otherwise calculator, so you can see rates before applying. Credit unions commonly as planning to fully grasp this alternative.
A loan re-finance shuts your totally new loans and situations you a completely this new promissory notice (an alternative financing that have the fresh loan and you may cost terms). A credit score assessment needs for it.
Again, credit unions tends to be more apt to simply accept all the way down fico scores so you’re able to qualify, even so they often still account for your debt-to-earnings proportion and you can monetary mode. You will need a good co-signer for the best cost.
Rates of interest
Rates can range out of just below step 3% to close so you’re able to 10%, that is essentially sometime less than financial institutions render to possess beginner mortgage combination and you will refinancing. Borrowing from the bank unions may offer interest rate decreases to own registration and for that have a current account with them. Enrolling in autopay to suit your monthly installments also can gain you a speeds avoidance within many borrowing from the bank unions.
This new apr (APR) shall be adjustable or repaired. An adjustable rates loan typically has a minimal interest levels, nevertheless these prices can move up through the years. A fixed-speed mortgage can be a great deal more steady since the rates will remain a similar for the whole name of your loan.
Benefits and drawbacks of Refinancing Having a cards Union
Credit unions will often have higher customer care and you will make an effort to capture care of their people. They are often quicker and more private than just large economic providers.
Again, borrowing from the bank unions aren’t-for-finances, as opposed to banking companies. All the people features a percentage, and therefore profits return to the participants, hence can save you money.
Fundamentally, borrowing from the bank unions could possibly offer reduced interest levels. There will always be less charges associated with refinancing than for-cash associations may charge.
- Customized procedures and you may strong customer support
- Versatile fees agreements
- Power to get rid of their co-signer more easily
- Straight down rates of interest
- Smaller technological an internet-based help
- So much more troublesome app techniques
- Registration conditions that would be difficult to fulfill
- Limitations to the number of financing which are refinanced
The little custom getting away from a card commitment tends to make the newest refinancing procedure move simpler. The firm is way more prepared to aid you and you will make it easier to reach your financial requirements than simply more substantial bank would.
Are Refinancing a good idea?
Refinancing your student loans as a result of a credit commitment will save you money. When you have a varying interest rate financing, it can be a good idea to re-finance into a fixed-price loan. It generates it better to funds, and it will keep your rates out of supposed too high.
Refinancing may reduce your payment from the stretching your loan timeline. This might not save eventually. For folks who extend your repayment months of 10 to 15 decades, you will see lower monthly premiums, but you will shell out significantly more focus through the years. Evaluate what exactly is most significant for you: all the way down monthly payments otherwise less of your budget given out along side lifetime of the financing.
For those who have government college loans, refinancing those people may cause you to eliminate particular gurus, including qualification for government mortgage forgiveness programs and you will money-passionate fees agreements. Check out just what possible advantages you could cure the means to access when the you refinance your own student loans, specifically if you enjoys government college loans consequently they are looking to re-finance courtesy a private financial, particularly a card union.
Borrowing unions is going to be a financial support whenever refinancing. Many borrowing unions are starting to help you lend, and may offer education loan refinancing in order to nonmembers also. It’s well worth your time and effort to incorporate them from the discussion when you are looking for refinancing the figuratively speaking.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, has told American interrogators that he first discussed the plot with Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in 1996.
In addition, he said, the original plan called for hijacking five commercial jets on each U.S. coast before it was modified several times, according to interrogation reports.
Mohammed also divulged that, in its final stages, the hijacking plan called for as many as 22 terrorists and four planes in a first wave, followed by a second wave of suicide hijackings that were to be aided possibly by Al Qaeda allies in southeast Asia, according to the reports.
Over time, bin Laden scrapped various parts of the Sept. 11 plan, including attacks on both coasts and hijacking or bombing some planes in East Asia, Mohammed is quoted as saying in reports that shed new light on the origins and evolution of the plot of Sept. 11, 2001.

Here’s the second part of a round-up of new things that I began earlier today, collecting some of the news and music I discovered over the last 24 hours that I thought would be worth your time, because they were worth mine.
Where Greater Men Have Fallen is the name of the new Primordial album, due for release by Metal Blade on November 25. The title track premiered previously, and a couple of days ago Stereogum premiered another song, “Come the Flood”. It’s powerfully heart-wrenching and melancholy in its atmosphere, driven at first by heavy, thumping drumbeats and a flowing curtain wall of guitars, and later by percussion that sounds like gunshots and a vital lead guitar melody. But at the center of the song is its most arresting feature — Nemtheanga’s high, soul-stirring, dramatic voice. Amazing.
Listen here (Primordial’s FB page is at this location):
Yesterday brought a flood of new music and announcements that peaked my interest. I didn’t have time to post about any of them yesterday, so I’ve got a lot to cover this morning. Which is why this round-up is divided into two parts, with the second one coming later on.
Wolfheart’s self-released 2013 debut album Winterborn was fantastic. It was exactly the balm needed to salve the wounds that Tuomas Saukkonen temporarily inflicted on fans when he folded all of his other projects (including Before the Dawn and Black Sun Aeon) to start fresh. Yesterday brought the announcement that Spinefarm Records has now signed Wolfheart and will be re-releasing Winterborn on February 3, 2015, with two additional bonus tracks — “Isolation” and “Into the Wild”. This will be the first physical edition of the album to be made available worldwide.
But even more exciting than that was the news that next year Spinefarm will also be releasing Wolfheart’s second album Shadow World, which the band is now in the process of completing. And here’s one more titillating tidbit of Wolfheart news from the same announcement:
Here are a few things that caught my eye yesterday.
There aren’t many bands that all the long-tenured writers at this site like, but West Virginia’s Byzantine are one of them. Their 2013 comeback album got loads of praise here and elsewhere, and so we were stoked to find out that the band had launched a crowd-funding campaign to help finance production of a new album — To Release Is To Resolve.
That campaign surpassed its goal (though contributions can still be made here, which will get you a pre-order of the album), and yesterday brought the announcement that the band have now finished recording all the music for the new record, with only Chris “OJ” Ojeda’s vocal tracking left to be done. But one thing will happen first — and that’s the second piece of Byzantine news we want to spread around: Beginning today, the band are embarking on a tour that will run through the end of October, with Thy Will Be Done and IKILLYA. The dates are after the jump…
I really, really, really want to go to Eistnaflug, and not simply because I can then say I’ve been to a festival named “flying testicles”. I’ve wanted to visit Iceland for a long time, and I’m wanting to visit even more now that the festival organizers have announced the three newest additions to the line-up:
This brings the number of confirmed bands to 15, and the lineup just keeps getting better and better.
I got carried away with a lot of rifftastic death metal malignancy in yesterday’s round-up’s, so I thought I’d move in more varied directions today. The following new and newish songs are among those I found in my trawling through the interhole yesterday, after siphoning off the effluent that would sicken you, plus one find by my comrade in arms Austin Weber. Prepare for brain spasms and spinal trauma.
I enjoyed the hell out of this Philadelphia band’s last release, the 2013 EP SolarBipolar (reviewed here). Just to give you a flavor of my reaction to it (and because if I don’t quote myself, who will?), here’s an excerpt from my review:
This is the kind of music that will give your neck muscles a real workout while dosing you with a narcotic addictiveness that will pull you back for another hit, and another. I know. I have plenty of other things to do, but I’ve been jamming this little three-song smasher over and over again.
As mentioned earlier today, I spent a chunk of time yesterday listening to new songs and found many to recommend. By happenstance, most of them were various flavors of death metal, so I altered the usual “Seen and Heard” title of these round-ups. And because I found so much new music I wanted to commend to your earholes, I divided it into two parts. Part One is here.
Necromutilator are a three-man band from Mantua, Italy, whose existence I discovered by browsing the Facebook page of Elektroplasma Musik, who will be distributing the band’s debut album on Terror From Hell Records. The debut album is entitled Eucharistic Mutilations, and the one song from it I’ve found so far on the web is “Fuck With Darkness”.
According to reports here and here, the 2015 edition of THE DECIBEL TOUR will include At the Gates, Converge, and Vallenfyre, plus one more band yet to be announced. This news was apparently divulged by Richard Christy on Saturday night on stage during the “Decibel Takes Manhattan” show, which featured Amon Amarth, Sabaton, and Vallenfyre.
I haven’t seen any more information than what is reported above, but this is exciting news. I’ll now have my fingers crossed, except for those rare occasions when I need those fingers for something else, that this thing will stop in Seattle.
That is all.
UPDATE: The tour schedule has now been announced. Here it is (I can un-cross my fingers):
I plowed through a lot of new songs yesterday and found a lot to like. Most of it happened to be death metal, though not quite all. So I decided to skip the “Seen and Heard” title for this round-up in favor of a more descriptive lead-in. Also, I found so much to recommend that I’ve divided the round-up into two parts. The second one will come a bit later today.
I loved this French band’s previous 2014 EP Deathmanicvs Revelation with an unholy love. I have little reason to doubt that I will experience similarly unnatural attractions to their new one, Interstellar Knowledge of the Purple Entity. Apart from my intense desire to obtain more knowledge about The Purple Entity (!), the advance song that became available for listening this weekend is like an aphrodisiac for the ears.
Here are a few items that caught my eye over the last 24 hours, partly because of the artwork, but in some cases also because of the accompanying news.
I’m going to put Hate in front of Behemoth for a change.
Thanks to a tip from Andy Synn I saw the announcement from earlier today by Poland’s Hate that they will be releasing a new album named Crusade: Zero on January 15, 2015, via Napalm Records. As usual, the album was recorded and mixed at Hertz Studio with the Wieslawski Brothers.
As I write this I am sitting on an airplane at about 40,000 feet somewhere over the Rocky Mountains. I am having to fly across the country because of my fucking day job, and once I get where I’m going, I will have to fucking work — pretty much day and night until I make it back to Seattle on Saturday night.
I tell you this not to pique your curiosity — because I can’t tell you what I’m doing, or I could, but would then have to kill you — but as an explanation of why there will be some scarcity in our posts between now and Sunday. Also, the “Seen and Heard” title is only half true:
The wi-fi on this plane isn’t good enough to let me stream music, so I actually haven’t heard anything — other than the guy sitting next to me snorting his phlegm every 10 minutes, the dude in front of me snoring, and the dull roar of the engines. Also, I have to fucking work on the plane beginning pretty damned soon.
Well, enough of my whining. Here are some things I’ve seen in my scampering through the inter hole this morning, and some things I would like to hear when I have the chance.

Observations of spontaneous kicking patterns in infants has presented valuable insight into their development. At times, these kicking patterns can detect potential developmental delays in at-risk infants to support diagnosis and intervention. However, the prevalence of developmental disabilities has increased and a protocol for early diagnosis is still not widely available outside of direct clinical observations. This paper presents a mobile application that aims at providing a cost-effective and prompt method for detecting atypical kicking patterns in at-risk infants. The Infant Smart-Mobile uses a virtual infant-activated mobile, coupled with wearable sensors for monitoring infant leg movements. Furthermore, to test the feasibility of the technology, the Infant Smart-Mobile is evaluated with respect to data collected from a robotic humanoid designed to simulate kicking in a manner similar to that of an infant with atypical motor behavior. Moreover, we compare atypical kicking patterns to that of a typical kick, and discuss the potential of the application to be used in clinical and home-based intervention protocols.

Role: The project consisted of three main counterparts. The first part involved the design of a physical baby mobile that would adjust speed based off of the kicking pattern of the infant. The second part consisted of the creation of a virtual mobile that simulated the physical baby mobile. The last counterpart involved the design of a wearable sensor that would gather raw data used by both the physical and virtual mobile. With this in mind, I designed and implemented the Virtual Infant Smart-Mobile application utilizing Unity3D. Additionally, using data analysis, I designed a kicking assessment algorithm that could control how the virtual mobile responded to various kicking patterns simulated by the Aldebaran NAO.

In a society grappling with the challenges of an aging population and diminishing birthrate, Japan faces the pressing issue of declining productivity. To address this concern, companies are increasingly focusing on “health and productivity management” initiatives to ensure the well-being of their employees and enhance their performance at work. A recent study conducted by the University of Tsukuba sheds light on the lifestyle habits that have a significant impact on work performance, with particular emphasis on the differences between genders.
Through a comprehensive multiple regression analysis involving data from 12,526 corporate employees across various age groups, researchers sought to delineate the relationship between 11 lifestyle habits (including smoking, exercise, diet, alcohol consumption, and sleep) and work performance, while considering the gender variable. Their findings, published in the Journal of Public Health, revealed a shared key factor that affected work performance in both men and women—insufficient sleep.
The study also unveiled gender-specific differences in lifestyle habits that influenced work performance. Among men, slow walking speed, current smoking, and skipping breakfast were associated with lower work performance. On the other hand, in women, fast eating speed emerged as an influential factor. These discrepancies highlight the need for tailored interventions and support measures that consider the unique challenges faced by each gender.
To promote improved work performance, the study suggests implementing health education programs and workplace interventions that focus on enhancing sleep quality, fostering exercise habits, and optimizing meal timing. By addressing these lifestyle habits, companies can take significant strides toward bolstering productivity and fostering the well-being of their employees.
Why is declining productivity a concern in Japan?
Japan is facing a decline in productivity due to a decreasing working-age population resulting from a lower birthrate and an increase in the aging population.
What are some factors that impact work performance?
The study identified several lifestyle habits that have an impact on work performance, including insufficient sleep, slow walking speed, current smoking, skipping breakfast (for men), and fast eating speed (for women).
What are the recommended interventions to enhance work performance?
The study suggests implementing health education programs and workplace interventions that focus on improving sleep quality, fostering exercise habits, and optimizing meal timing.
Why is gender-specific support important?
The study highlights the need for tailored interventions and support measures that consider the distinct challenges faced by each gender, acknowledging that certain lifestyle habits may have differing impacts on work performance in men and women.

What lights up Ken Mandelbaum, chairman, CEO, and principal of clothing brand Mandee, is creating products that help people flourish. Although this might not be the philosophical approach of many clothiers, as a member of the third generation of the Mandelbaum family to run Mandee, which operates under the umbrella of Big M, Inc., going at the business without this personal philosophy is not an option.
“There’s a privilege in being in business today where you can take a stand for something that’s important, like who you’re going to be in the world for yourself and for other people,” he said. “It’s not just about making money. It can be, but for us it’s not.”
The Mandee chain of stores caters to the trendy woman. The brand’s core customer base ranges from age 13 to 25, but Mandelbaum is quick to point out the company does not focus on age; it focuses on fit.
All Mandee clothes are junior cut, which is smaller in the hips and waist. The brand’s tops are cut young and trendy and fashioned in a similar style. Every product in Mandee stores, which can be found between Florida and Connecticut and as far west as Chicago, is designed to be coordinated with a focus on the core customer and her interests.
“We give customers a wide range of well-thought-out products so she knows when she is buying it in our stores, she is buying the right product,” said Mandelbaum. From earrings, lingerie, and eveningwear to casual clothing and shoes, products in the approximately 7,000-square-foot stores are designed to keep up with the fast-changing fashions inherent to a hip and trendy audience.
The very thing Mandee prides itself on is also its biggest challenge: keeping up with a trendy target audience. The company stays in touch through normal channels, such as social networks Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace; customer reviews; and in-store conversations.
“The most important thing is understanding our customers’ interests and offering her a venue where when she comes to our shop, she leaves thrilled with her buy,” said Mandelbaum. What that means to Mandelbaum and his team is that every interaction, from the time spent with Mandee employees to viewing the merchandise, is tailored as though it was meant just for her.
For more than 60 years, the Mandelbaum family has focused on understanding what its customers want and are interested in. For the Mandee brand, this translates into merchandising coordination that not only respects the customers’ time, but also illustrates her taste. “We want our customer to look in the store and say, ‘I love this and the way it’s coordinated,’” said Mandelbaum. “We help her make selections that facilitate her style intent.”
The company takes connecting with its customers one step further by polling them on what social issues matter most. It then researches local nonprofits and charities within those communities and contributes on behalf of its consumers.
Mandee also does runway shows, bringing in customers who want to get into modeling and teaching them how to walk a catwalk and model outfits. When photo shoots are involved, the company often uses the results in its media releases. The goal of these interactions, said Mandelbaum, is to create the kind of relationships with customers that go beyond what’s typical.
“We want to create the kind of relationship with our customer where we get to know what her needs are and she feels as though we’re a resource she can count on,” he said.
Stand and deliver
Always looking for ways to innovate, the Mandelbaum family has taken its customer coordination efforts one step further in a rebranding campaign. After spending time talking with its customers about the perfect in-store experience, the company set forth a plan to develop a store befitting the taste of a Mandee customer.
To start, in the fitting rooms of the Clifton store, the company installed large makeup mirrors with lighting that makes the shopper look the way she would in real life rather than under the glare of fluorescent lights, as is typical in most retail locations. There are seats outside the fitting rooms for friends who are waiting and offering opinions on outfits.
“We want to encourage friends to come with our customers, so the seats are comfortable and give enough room for people to work on their computers or talk on their cell phones while waiting for someone,” said Mandelbaum.
The wall behind the checkout stations changes color, and columns throughout the store are wrapped in white fabric that also changes color. The in-store lighting matches the overall vibrant mood that is supplemented by a rocking soundtrack and videos that get customers’ hips moving the moment they step in the store.
With the success of the first rebranded store, the company plans to open its second in a shopping center in Chicago. A few of the current Mandee locations will be remodeled, and several new stores with the new look and feel are in the works.
Mandelbaum said the company’s ability to continue growing comes down to its private company standing. Without the pressure to grow the top line and the bottom line for the sake of stock prices, he and his team are able to spend money on infrastructure and existing stores when it makes sense and open new stores when it’s more suitable.
“Right now, there are big opportunities to grow and open up new stores because of what’s happened in the retail business over the last year,” Mandelbaum said. “Each year stands on its own, depending on how we view the current conditions.”

Virginia's West Point School Board has fired a high school teacher following an ongoing transgender controversy issue at the school.
Peter Vlaming, a teacher within the school system for seven years, was fired from his position Thursday night after a five-and-a-half hour public hearing with the school board.
This issue came to a crux during a virtual reality exercise back in October, where Vlaming said he called out "don't let her walk into the wall" as the transgender student walked in that direction.
Vlaming claimed it was a slip of the tongue.
"I'm totally happy to use the new name," Vlaming said. "I'm happy to avoid female pronouns not to offend because I'm not here to provoke... but I can't refer to a female as a male, and a male as a female in good conscious and faith."
"That was in fact discriminatory because all the other students were being used pronouns, but this student was not being used pronouns," Superintendent Laura Abel testified.
Vlaming's attorney fought the superintendent's recommendation to dismiss the teacher based on claims of insubordination and repeated refusal to comply with directives made by West Point Public Schools administrators.
"Miracles can happen, but I was prepared that this might be the outcome," Vlaming said after the decision.

Crispy Fried ChickenFor extra-juicy--and flavorful--fried chicken, chef Rupam Bhagat of Dum in San Francisco marinates his meat using the traditional two-step tandoori process: He first lets the chicken sit in a blend of aromatic spices for 12 hours and then folds in yogurt that helps tenderize the meat and caramelize the crust when it's fried. Instead of deep-frying chicken in a vat of oil, Angie Mosier prefers pan-frying, which creates delightfully crunchy and moist chicken without requiring quite so much oil. To make this juicy and delectably crisp chicken, chef Thomas Keller soaks it in a lemony brine, then coats and fries it. Try pairing this fried chicken with a Prosecco from northern Italy, which has a soft fruitiness, like the citrusy NV Mionetto Brut. Or drink a crisp pilsner like the pleasantly bitter Victory Prima Pils or the more delicate Pilsner Urquell. This great fried chicken recipe can be baked up to three hours ahead and served at room temperature.

See the following links for the finding of High Priest Caiaphas burial site.
- John 18:14 AMP It was Caiaphas who had counseled the Jews that it was expedient and for their welfare that one man should die for (instead of, in behalf of) the people. [John 11:49, 50.]
In light of the prophecy of Caiaphas the high priest now turn your attention to the prophecies of Yeshua. Yeshua is both the Prophet that Moses said would come and the Word of God. But how could Yeshua be both that Prophet and be God incarnate in the flesh? When a prophet prophesies, he/she prophesies in the stead or behalf of God. Either God prophesies what God says or a prophet prophesies what God says. The Prophet that Moses said would be like him and would come, has the body of a prophet that carries or bears the prophesies in the flesh of his larynx and vocal chords. But that prophet does not have the soul of a prophet. The DIVINE WORD OF YHVH is in place of the soul of the prophet. The voice of phrophecy is from the prophet and the DIVINE WORD is the DIVINE PROPHECY. The DIVINE WORD prophesied using the INCARNATION of the flesh of the body of YESHUA. The indirect or passive prophecy of YESHUA is so much the prophecy of YESHUA as though it is not the direct DIVINE WORD OF YHVH prophesying. The direct prophecy of YHVH that prophesied was so much so as though it was not the indirect passive prophecy of YESHUA. The prophecy was almost indistinguishable, one from the other, in that it was in perfect unison. Hence, the DIVINE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY became PROPHECY SPOKEN IN THE FLESH OF THE PROPHET YESHUA.

Mark 13:1-2 NKJV Then as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said to Him, “Teacher, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! ” And Jesus answered and said to him, “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone shall be left upon another, that shall not be thrown down.”
John 2:18-22 AMP Then the Jews retorted, What sign can You show us, seeing You do these things? [What sign, miracle, token, indication can You give us as evidence that You have authority and are commissioned to act in this way?] Jesus answered them, Destroy (undo) this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again. Then the Jews replied, It took forty-six years to build this temple (sanctuary), and will You raise it up in three days? But He had spoken of the temple which was His body. When therefore He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this. And so they believed and trusted and relied on the Scripture and the word (message) Jesus had spoken.

Is that taking into account that I use a MiniDP>DVI connector, and then use a DVI>HDMI connector?
While we are on the subject of outputs. What is the outputs of the 13" MBP?
The most I can get is 1280x800 using my set up (and thats the res of the screen)

US homeland security chief says border crossings are down 50% since Title 42 expiration
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. border patrol agents have seen a 50% drop in the number of migrants crossing the border since the pandemic-era immigration policy known as Title 42 expired at midnight on Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on CNN's "State of the Union" program on Sunday.
"Over the past two days, the United States Border Patrol has experienced a 50% drop in the number of encounters versus what we were experiencing earlier in the week before Title 42 ended at midnight on Thursday," Mayorkas said.
"It is still early. We are in day three. But we have been planning for this transition for months and months."
Mayorkas said that U.S. Border Patrol agents had about 6,300 encounters with border-crossers on Friday and another 4,200 on Saturday, compared with more than 10,000 shortly before Title 42's expiration.

Im wondering if anyone has the pin out or a picture of which wires you tapped for the subwoofer LOC signal. I have found the factory amp and got my switched 12v got the JL amp installed and functioning, just no audio due to the LOC not connected. Ive been told its a DVC and that I need:
BROWN and PINK as +
LIGHT GREEN and LIGHT BLUE as -
Im just not soo sure which harness to look in. I have 2 plugs in the amp, one big one with a bunch of "thicker" wires and one closer to the rear or taillight thats small and has very small wire gauges.... Im not sure Im seeing the right colors in either.
Someone mentioned to me that speaker wires are "thicker" and can sometimes be twisted.
Any input would be great,

If you are considering liposuction to remove unwanted pockets of fat, you may have some well-meaning family members who warn you against the possible side effects and long recovery time associated with this procedure. Their worries are not unwarranted. However, liposuction has come a long way in recent years, and many of the risks that your family members are concerned about are no longer such a big deal. Here is a closer look at some of the advancements that have been made in liposuction procedures in order to make them safer and easier on the patient.
Improved local anesthetics
Several decades ago, if you wanted to undergo liposuction, your doctor would first put you under general anesthesia. In other words, you'd be completely under during the procedure. There are a lot of risks that go with general anesthesia. Some people wake up with nausea, and others have lasting side effects like headaches. Today, most liposuction procedures are performed under local anesthesia. This means that the area that your doctor is working on is numbed, but you remain awake throughout the process. Local anesthesia is a lot safer than general anesthesia. If you are nervous about the procedure, your doctor can prescribe a sedative for you to take prior to your appointment.
The devices that used to be used for liposuction we're about a half an inch in diameter. To accommodate these devices, your surgeon would have to make incisions that were about an inch long. Today, smaller tools are used for liposuction, and as a result, smaller incisions can be made. It takes a lot less time to heal a smaller incision. Plus, smaller incisions are less likely to become infected during your healing process.
Today, most liposuction devices first use ultrasound waves to break up the fat before it is sucked out from beneath your skin. This is a lot easier on your body than the old, mechanical process of physically breaking up the fat prior to suction. There is less damage to surrounding tissues with ultrasound technology. As a result, you will experience less pain and swelling following the liposuction, and you can return to work and your other obligations much sooner. Most patients only need a week or so off after liposuction. You may need slightly longer if you have liposuction performed on a large part of your body.
To learn more about liposuction, talk to a cosmetic surgeon in your area. Recent technology has greatly minimized the risks you think about when it comes to liposuction. The procedure may be safer and easier than you think.

These Famous Landmarks Photoshopped To Look Like The Zombie Apocalypse Are Chilling

In the first season of The Walking Dead, we got a good look at what Atlanta would look like in a zombie apocalypse.

For example, London's Houses of Parliament...

The majestic Taj Mahal...

New York's busy and vibrant Times Square...
...could end up a much more desolate place.
The beautiful Eiffel Tower in Paris...

What’s holding fast-growing Norwich back?
- Credit: copyright Archant Photographic 2
Norwich's poor transport and skills and housing shortages are being overlooked by Westminster because its economy continues to thrive.
The Centre for Cities – a respected think tank – said future growth could be thwarted and businesses could relocate if the government does not address the issues.
It found that national policy and debate has focused on the so-called 'northern powerhouse' and bigger 'core' cities, at the expense of the smaller fast-growing cities such as Norwich.
Chris Starkie, managing director of business and council-led New Anglia local enterprise partnership, said the report provided further evidence that government should not just focus on the big cities, but the crucial role that cities such as Norwich and Cambridge played in creating high value jobs and increasing productivity and growth for UK plc.
'The message is simple, invest in us and we will deliver,' he added.
But the government insisted it did recognise the vital role played by growing cities across the country in boosting growth, building new homes and creating a balanced economy, claiming 'city deals' in Norwich and Cambridge gave the cities the opportunity to identify the tools to drive economic growth.
'We are in active discussions with many places, including the growing cities highlighted in this report, about devolving the powers they need to build on their success.'
- 1 ‘Porn addict’ Norfolk doctor who secretly filmed women struck off
- 2 Rare insect spotted in Norfolk for first time in nearly 100 years
- 3 5 famous faces who were born in King's Lynn
- 4 Norwich street named one of the most beautiful in the world
- 5 Seven people arrested after 50 vehicles stopped by police at Thickthorn
- 6 Mystery of container ships at anchor off Suffolk coast solved
- 7 Woman’s death prompts ‘significant dangers’ warning over A11 cycle races
- 8 Norfolk fish and chip shop named one of the 10 best in the UK
- 9 Norfolk start-up taking on retail giant Amazon
- 10 Josh Martin heading for City exit
Leaders from Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire are currently locked in talks with the Treasury over a potential £1bn deal to hand over power, including over transport, housing and skills.
Alan Waters, leader of Norwich City Council, said he was pleased to see Norwich was being recognised as a prosperous city, with high levels of business entrepreneurialism and innovation, as well as being a great place to live and work.
'Against a backdrop of cuts enforced by national government, we are investing in the city by supporting local businesses to create well-paid jobs, promoting the living wage and building the infrastructure required to reduce inequality between different parts of the city.'
The report, which also looked in-depth at the challenges facing Cambridge, Oxford, Milton Keynes, and Swindon, found that workers in Norwich were more productive than the average and also contributed more to Treasury coffers per head than those in 'northern powerhouse' cities such as Manchester and Birmingham.
Norwich has an employment rate of 75.5pc, compared to the UK average of 73pc, and is also among the top UK cities for the number of patents granted locally, and its level of high-skilled private sector jobs.
But the report said housing was an increasing problem for the so-called 'fast growth cities', which was proving a major barrier to recruiting and retaining workers.
The think tank said the cities should be given more borrowing powers to allow them to provide more of the affordable housing they need.
Mr Waters said: 'A strong mixed housing tenure across the city is one of the key drivers of sustainable economic growth. The report highlights the need to build new council homes using income from council rents, which we have been doing in recent years to address the shortage of genuinely affordable housing in the city. Our ambitions to deliver on new council homes, a strong role in skills training and better transport links have formed a major part of devolution discussions with the government.'
The report also warns that government funding for transport infrastructure was too short term to enable the Fast Growth Cities to address this issue, and calls for longer-term funding commitments, like the ones available to northern powerhouse cities such as Manchester and Sheffield.
It said cities were facing skills shortages with Norwich recording a lower than average proportion of people with degree equivalent qualifications.
Alexandra Jones, chief executive of Centre for Cities, said: 'The government's devolution agenda has understandably focused on boosting growth in some of the UK's biggest city economies, many of which are punching below their weight economically. However, for the government to realise its ambitions of building a more productive and higher-wage economy across the country, it's crucial that it does not overlook the challenges facing Norwich and other 'fast growth' cities, which are among the most economically vibrant and innovative places in the UK.'
'For these cities to continue to grow, it's vital that they receive the kind of tailored policy support the government is putting in place for cities like Greater Manchester and Sheffield.
'It's also important that any devolution deals involving the 'fast growth' cities respond to the specific obstacles and opportunities they face. If they are included in wider regional deals, those agreements should retain a strong urban focus, to make the most of the economic characteristics and strengths of these cities. This should be a key consideration for the government as it extends its devolution agenda in the coming years.'

Funny Cards are our speciality at Scribbler and there’s never a wrong moment to send a funny card. Who hasn’t received a funny greeting card and bent over double with laughter? The thing about funny greeting cards is that you’ve probably been sent it by someone who knows you well and knows exactly which type of humorous cards you will like. If you like spoof humour they’ll probably get you a funny photo card, or some other humorous card. When you choose funny personalised cards the laughter gets even louder as you can use the cards to convey funny situations that you wouldn’t normally talk about.
We’ve been selling cards for over 30 years now and we like our cards humorous and on the funny side. and it still makes our day when we walk into one of our card shops to see someone laughing out loud at the funny greetings cards on the shelves, and we can only imagine the thousands of people sitting in front of their computers, giggling and snorting at some funny card that has caught their attention.
What do we look for in a funny greetings card? If you’re talking about funny cards for men then no doubt there will be some sort of naughty rude and funny caption that will get them going, but there are other types of humorous greeting cards that work just as well. Spoof humour of the sort that you find on a funny photo upload card can be hilarious. By inserting a rather embarrassing photo of someone you know into a completely bizarre situation such as a magazine cover, and then customising the captions so that the magazine is totally about them can get people in stitches of laughter and works very well as a humorous greeting card. Funny greetings cards can also be a bit less obvious: Some of the funny quotes for cards that are featured in our designs are poignant in a way that is also witty because they often ring so true.
Funny greeting card messages are very important because there’s no point in buying funny online greeting cards if you can’t think of any funny things to write in cards. Luckily, some of our are cards have witty quotes and sayings on the front so if you aren’t feeling creative today you can just pick one of these and the recipient will still think you are a comedy genius.
So what are you waiting for? Find a funny card that captures your imagination, have a proper belly laugh, and then use our amazing personalised funny cards to bring joy, laughter, and love to your friends and family. And remember, if you are laughing too much to go out and buy a stamp, Scribbler will send your funny cards UK or abroad so that you don’t even need to go to the post office!
