WHAT SHOULD A PARENT DO WHEN THEIR CHILD IS INJURED?
When a child is injured, the initial focus of all parents will be to do whatever they can to ensure that their child recovers as completely as possible from their injury.
WILL MY CHILD BE TRAUMATIZED IF WE BRING A LAWSUIT FOR THEIR INJURIES?
No. The laws have changed dramatically in recent years to protect child injury victims. Even in civil cases involving molestation, the identity of the child will be protected and the child will not be able to be cross-examined in the way people sometimes see on TV and in the movies. The parent or guardian for the purpose of the litigation will be more involved in the lawsuit, and the child will usually be able to live their normal life without the lawsuit interfering in any significant way.
WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS DIED DUE TO THE FAULT OF ANOTHER?
In this tragic situation, the parents, whether still living together or separated, each have a right to bring a lawsuit for their loss of comfort, society, and care of a child. Most parents feel a certain amount of empowerment from this type of lawsuit and it can help to deal with the overwhelming grief to know that some type of justice was attempted or done.
WHAT IF MY CHILD IS PARTIALLY AT FAULT FOR CAUSING THEIR INJURY OR DEATH, CAN I STILL SUE?
A person sues for serious personal injury even if they are partially at fault. As long as they can prove that one or more other parties are also at fault. The amount of a plaintiff’s recovery will be reduced by the amount of their fault.
WHAT IF THE DEFENDANT BLAMES US FOR CAUSING OUR CHILD’S INJURY OR DEATH?
It is true that if at all possible, the defense will attempt to blame the parents for injury or death to their child. This may occur in a case which the defense will attempt to claim that the parents should have supervised their child more closely and that supervision would have avoided an accident or sometimes a molestation.
WHAT DAMAGES ARE RECOVERABLE IN A CHILD INJURY OR DEATH CASE?
The survivors are entitled to the value of future monetary contributions from the decedent and the value of any personal service, advice, or training that would have probably been given if the decedent had lived. This is determined by projecting the amount of money the decedent would have earned in the future but for their death and subtracting from that the amount that the decedent would have “consumed” on their own expenses. The parents will have to establish that the child would likely have contributed to the injury.
HOW SOON MUST WE BRING A LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF OUR CHILD?
If your child is injured, you generally have until he or she is 18 to bring a case on behalf of your child, and once your child turns 18, they have an additional one year until their 19th birthday to bring a lawsuit. It is generally not a good idea to wait very long to bring a case because important evidence will be lost and the case of a younger child will be worth more than an older child who has generally recovered well from the injuries.
WILL MY CHILD’S INJURY OR DEATH CASE SETTLE OUT OF COURT?
Probably. Over 90 percent of child injury and death cases do settle at some time before trial.
DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY?
Except in cases of very minor injuries, you will probably want to hire an attorney to handle your child’s case. Any settlement involving a child’s case of more than $5,000 must be approved by the court, and attorneys will be able to help walk you through the process of having the guardian appointed and the settlement approved.

No job is big or small, is the collective reaction to the viral LinkedIn post, which is being lauded for highlighting the entrepreneurial spirit of Sharmishtha Ghosh. The Delhiite is operating a redhi (cart) in Gopi Nath Bazar, Delhi Cantonment.
The social media post — which got over 31,000 reactions and close to a thousand comments — mentions how Gosh is running a tea stall despite possessing a master’s degree. However, after visiting the location, the woman who who previously worked at the British Council, clarifies that she is “not a chaiwali, and this is not just a tea stall”.
“So the viral post is incorrect,” shares the 49-year-old, adding that the tea served at the stall is incidental to the cold weather in the Capital. “Our business is about providing healthy, home-cooked meals since I am extremely passionate about food. It is a small business, a food joint that we call Bhu Bhasha, the language of Mother Earth, which I started along with my business partner Bhavna Rao (46, who previously worked with an international airline), and my soul sister, Sadhana (32, who started as kitchen help at Ghosh’s home before becoming a partner),” elaborates Ghosh.
What started as a hobby, became a passion project for the three women, and is now operational from every Friday to Sunday. The stall has become the talking point among foodies since the ‘motivational’ post went viral. “The stall has gained so much popularity with people loving our food. Customers place orders even on the days we don’t open, and we do deliver,” smiles Ghosh.
The menu changes every day. For example, at present, among the many delectable dishes available are winter special savoury delights such as makke ki roti and sarson ka saag, aaloo tikki, and chana bhatura. Every weekend, loyalists flock to the redhi to relish these scrumptious home-made dishes. “We want to use this venture to encourage women to come out of the domestic sphere, and finally be paid for the labour they perform everyday but often don’t get recognised for,” shares Ghosh.
Ask about the post stating that her endeavour is just a step towards becoming the next big chai chain, and Ghosh clarifies, “This stall is about our love for food, and celebrates our prowess at cooking. We might just be the next big restaurateur, but it definitely won’t be a chain about tea.”

We recently shared the story of Grayson (read Deputy’s Son Raising Funds for Toys for St. Jude’s Kids), the son of a Deputy in Virginia who is raising funds and toys for St. Jude’s kids in honor of his friend Westin who died of cancer. Westin’s 10th birthday would have been this weekend – Saturday, July 12th.
In honor of Westin, a party was held on Saturday. Lots of toys were donated (pictured), with many more on their way. Covered Law Enforcement was honored to donate two police motorcycle ride-on toys to support Grayson’s efforts!
We congratulate and commend Grayson! He is going to reach his goal of $1,000 in toys donated by the end of this month. There’s still time to help. All of the information is in the previous post if you would like to make a donation or send a toy for St. Jude’s Kids.

Hi There! My name is Katie Duma and I’m a new cooking blogger here at the Times Union. You probably find yourself wondering who I am and how I will be contributing to the already awesome Recipe Box blog. Well, let me introduce myself a little bit.
I was born and raised in the Capital Region and this area is truly what I call home. I attended three local colleges over my educational career and have recently completed my master’s degree in Business. I have worked in the advertising department here at the Times Union for almost five years now as a Digital Media Coordinator. I am a vegetarian and have been for the last four years. I enjoy eating healthy for the most part; however I do indulge every now and then. While I am a vegetarian, I do cook non-vegetarian meals for my hubby who cringes at the thought of a meatless meal for dinner. I got married in 2010 to my husband and best friend and he has been very understanding as I learn to cook.
While my mother is an absolutely amazing cook; I find that cooking isn’t a skill that comes easy to me. You name the cooking mistake, and I have made it. I have overcooked, undercooked, spilled things, burnt things, and much much more in my cooking past. So what I would like to contribute to this blog is my tips for beginner chefs, appetizers, desserts, side dishes, recipe successes, recipe fails, make ahead meals, 5 ingredient meals, and both vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. I would like to do a feature each week that details a new recipe that I have tried and whether it was a Hit Or Miss.
I hope you will come along on this cooking adventure!

The Cork film studio behind Sgt Stubby: An Unlikely Hero, an animated production about a dog that became a first World War US army sergeant, is in talks for a debt-for-equity swap with its Irish and US financiers after box office sales in America disappointed.
Fun Academy Media Group, which produced the film last year featuring Helena Bonham Carter and Gérard Depardieu, is in talks to give investors shares in the Stubby The Movie Limited, the entity that controls worldwide rights.
The Cork film studio raised about €3 million from Irish investors and a further $5 million from film financiers in the US, but Stubby has not yet made enough cash to pay them back.
Accounts recently filed for Fun Academy say American box office revenues, which were supposed to cover all repayments to US investors, totalled just $4.2 million because "big studios' demand for screens" crimped Stubby's exposure.
It predicted, however, that international sales would be strong. The studio expects to make $1 million in 2019 from DVD sales, with a further $750,000 from a cable deal. The film is also being released in Spain, Portugal and France.
“This extra revenue is required to satisfy all debt obligations,” noted Fun Academy’s directors, before predicting a “100 per cent take up” of the Stubby The Movie debt-for-equity proposal.
Fun Academy group shares are not part of the equity swap proposal.

This was supposed to be my Veteran’s Day post. I got so distracted with all the things going on around here, that I completely forgot about it. We had a couple of family birthdays, an Explorer’s First Night presentation (more on this later), and to top it all off, it was SNOWING and I just had to have a fire and was hypnotized by the flames to the point of sleepiness and I haven’t gotten anything done the last few days. Anyway, that’s my sad story……………only a few more posts to go in my DIY 31 Day series! Stay tuned!
I love the way flags have become fashionable. They are all over Pintrest and there are endless ways to make or display own. I love the way these flags are all framed and hung together. They make a great presentation.
I started with some salvaged frames. I had a stack of them left over from another project. The birch veneer frames came with foam core which was already cut to size for each frame.
Just rub the polish on and blend it in with the foam applicator. You can build up several coats if you wish to achieve a darker color, but I only used one for my project.
I used the same finish on all four of the matching frames. Then I let them dry for 24 hours.
I used an old flag that had some frayed edges, and cut it into four parts. I chose to have only the stars in the first frame, and lined up the stripes to make the other 3 equal frames. I hot glued the flags on to the foam core, and put them in the frames. I love the way they look hung on the wall close together.
This is our Music Lounge. It’s where we keep all our musical supplies. Instruments, music, tuners and the like. It’s a place where our teenage boys can have jam sessions with their friends. Someday I hope to add some electric guitars and perhaps a set of drums.
I think the flags really an a very Bruce Springsteen-ish sort of vibe to the space. The pop of red really brightens up the room which is windowless and sometimes very dark. The red bamboo vases were purchased at a neighborhood garage sale for $2.00. I love it when good neighbors have garage sales!

Background: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) has become a popular method of gathering information about participants as they go about their daily lives. However, participant non-compliance, especially non-random compliance, in EMA is a concern. Better knowledge of the moment-to-moment factors that predict prompt non-response can inform the design of strategies to mitigate it.
Method: We used data from a general population young adult (n = 260) EMA study, 'decades-to-minutes' (D2M) and fitted dynamic structural equation models (DSEMs) to explore a range of candidate momentary predictors of missing the next prompt.
Results: We found that higher levels of stress, overall negative affect, and the specific negative affective state of 'upset' at a given prompt predicted a greater likelihood of missing the next prompt. However, no other specific affective states, alcohol use, experiencing social provocations nor aggressive behaviour predicted missing the next prompt.
Limitations: The primary limitation of the present study was a lack of information on predictors concurrent with missed prompts.
Conclusions: Findings point to the potential value of gathering information on momentary negative affect (especially feeling upset) and stress to help inform strategies that intervene to prevent application disengagement at optimal moments and to feed into strategies to mitigate bias due to non-random non-response in EMA studies.

text: Hi! I have for many years been attempting to seach out the natural parents/siblings of my Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Ann Myers. Born March 15, 1887 in New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas County, Ohio, the youngest of 8 children to a "Mrs. Myers" and "an Indian", Elizabeth (aka Lizzie) stated that she and her siblings who were "too young to go out on their own" were placed in an orphanage when their mother remarried a gentleman who did not want the responsibility of raising the children. Gramma stated that she went into the "orphanage" and the older girls went into the "Canton Girls Home" and the older boys went into the "Canton Boys Home". From what she described it sounds to me like she was actually referring to the Stark County FAIRMONT CHILDREN'S HOME which consisted of three different buildings ~ one for babies, one for boys and one for girls. Nonetheless, she remained in the orphanage until she was "adopted out" to a family by the name of Hiscox (Alfred and Frances)that lived in Medina County, Ohio. From the way she described the family setting I believe she was actually indentured out... . But anyway, I have never been able to locate either a birth certificate or adoption papers. Thus I am hoping that possibly her siblings may have passed down a similar story to their descendants and someone out there will recognize the names and places in Gramma's story. According to Gramma the family of origin originally consisted of four boys and four girls (including herself). Should any of this sound familiar, please feel free to e-mail me @ email@example.com. Thanks a lot ~ and good luck in your own search!

Sew What?'s Flickr gallery showcases prior designs. This year's Backdrop Artwork Concept and Design was created by Kenny Chesney and the creative team at Richards and Southern, Inc. Production Designer was Mike Swinford and Production Manager was Ed Wannebo.
The custom stage drape's dimensions were 43 feet high by almost 75 feet wide. A polyester poplin substrate was used for great color reactivity and durability. It is hamper friendly and tour ready.
Megan Duckett, owner of Sew What? Inc. and sister company, Rent What? Inc. say, "We built all the elements with longevity in mind and to keep performing, no matter how grueling the show schedule is."

Keurig coffee makers do a great job brewing black coffee at the push of a button. But sometimes you’re craving espresso. What to do? Before you head for your favorite coffee shop, we have a solution.
The good news is that your Keurig brewer can make something close to espresso! Here’s how to make espresso with Keurig coffee makers in 5 simple steps. Get ready for a delicious cup of strong coffee:
Does Keurig Make Espresso?
Before we jump into the recipe, we have an important question to answer: does Keurig make espresso? The answer is not really. Keurigs are designed to brew regular coffee, so you will only be able to approximate espresso. Espresso machines combine hot water and high pressure to produce espresso, and Keurig machines don’t use pressure.
Instead, we’re making small cups of concentrated coffee — which will taste somewhat like espresso. You’re unlikely to get a lot of crema, the distinctive foam that tops espresso shots, though you may see a little.
How to Make Espresso with Keurig:
1. Choose the right K-Cups.
If you want to approximate espresso, dark and strong K-Cups will work best. The classic espresso flavors are bold dark roasts, so we recommend choosing a delicious dark roast, like Rude Awakening’s chocolatey K-Cups. Need some recommendations? Choose from our list of the 10 best espresso K-Cups!
2. Use your machine’s smallest cup size.
The typical coffee-to-water ratio for espresso is 1:2, meaning that you use one part coffee for every two parts water. To approximate this, you’ll want to use your Keurig’s smallest possible amount of water. In our Keurig Mini, that means pouring 6 ounces of water into the reservoir. In other models, you can choose the smallest cup size button.
We recommend using a larger cup to catch the coffee. Espresso cups are cute, but they won’t work as well for a Keurig — you may get splashes or overflows. Once your coffee has brewed, you can pour it into an espresso cup.
4. Pour the coffee into espresso cups.
To really make your coffee feel like espresso, pour it into espresso cups. You won’t have a lot of crema, but the small cups will feel more like espresso.
5. Serve and enjoy!
We hope you enjoy your small cup of espresso-like coffee. It may not be real espresso, but it will still be delicious and caffeinated. What more do you need?
We hope this guide helps you learn how to make espresso with Keurig machines — or at least, how to approximate espresso. Single-serve Keurig machines excel at drip coffee, and you can make all kinds of tasty varieties with almost no effort or cleanup.
If you want espresso, you may want to consider the Keurig Rivo, which offers 15 bars of pressure. If you want to use a model you already have, you can make the strongest possible drip coffee as an espresso replacement. Either way, we know you’ll enjoy your morning cup of joe!

The title of the play (Love And Human Remains) by Brad Fraser, written in 1989 and currently running at The Gladstone, has the advantage of being brief. However, the original title, Unidentified Human Remains And The True Nature Of Love, seems closer to the themes and content of this work which helped expand the international reputation of this exceptional Canadian playwright. Thus, one wonders why author Brad Fraser discarded the original title at our present time, a title that brought his own book, part gory mystery thriller, part examination of the underlying violence implicit in the search for one’s identity in a constantly fluctuating urban environment, closer to the novel American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis.
In fact, the Canadian play preceded very closely the Easton novel that set off a movement of middle-class flashy style obsession with clothes and slick dressing and expensive tastes more interested in style than in substance, even if it accompanied senseless murder and cruel killing by a serial killer in Manhatten. This is touched upon very delicately by the Canadian author in a much less bloodthirsty and almost light-hearted manner.
No doubt, Fraser wanted to keep his distance from that too violent world of American Psycho bloodlust which was purely destructive. Thus he has created a character that links them both. The ever so slightly chilling but also playful psychic Dominatrix, Benita, complete with leathers and whips and vicious playthings, keeps us in that atmosphere of sex and drugs and psychic torment as she takes on the role of narrator, telling us about the evolution of David (the neurotic young man with his troubled family relationships), and his highly sexually repressed brother Bernie, caught in a trap between his straight life and his ‘other’ life. There is also David’s luscious blond female friend Cindy who brings him solace at tense moments when he isn’t trying to initiate the brazen and naive young Kane, who doesn’t know what he wants. Cindy is also a character trying to work out her own inner confusion with her friend Robert, just as insecure as the other individuals about his own sexual preferences tinged with misogyny and repressed anti-gay reactions that would seem to reveal a boiling stew of confusion in his own subconscious. They all move through the apartment like a series of different musical themes, creating harmony and disharmony among themselves, the chaotic image of a contemporary urban society coming to grips with all its inner tensions.
After those highly theatrical performances of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert, or La Cage Aux Folles or the foregrounding of RuPaul on TV which replace drag performances of all types, other forms of performances seek to naturalise a complex variety of sexual behaviours, something that comes through very well on more recent shows that suggest what Brad Fraser has already said is not new at all. In fact, his ideas appear rather dated, which is a shame.
What really appears most interesting is the way director Plante, set designer David Magladry, lighting designer Karl Wagner, sound designer Riley Stewart and costume designer Teal Cochrane have all concurred to navigate the creativity with the text as it is propelled into the site of a fast-paced choral performance, orchestrated impeccably by director Chantale Plante. Each group is set up on a different mini stage in its own fixed area as the voices follow the flow of repeated sounds in different contexts to give the impression that the words have changed meaning as they flow back and forth from each speaking group. At those impressive moments, the narrative between characters works well but then as the narrative breaks down, the poetic moments that make the words reconnect, fall in together and create ravishing poetry of speaking voices. One’s eyes and ears follow the voices around the stage, and the result is moments of multiple mini-concerts that flit from one space to another, filling the acting-space with spoken word performances creating much fun and joy with the harmony of sound and the disjointed nature of the meaning of the words. In that joyous movement of voices we hear and see Bradley Sykes as David whipping around with perfect poise as a former professional dancer by twisting his body with great talent, even though he seems to overact a good part of the time, trying to create a strong presence by exaggerating his facial expressions and his physical work which is not necessary because his character is already highly theatrical.
We liked the talented young Alex Henkelman with his sullen gaze and pouty realism that sets his own stage in the middle of the action; Alexander Lemours as Robert, and Kirby Naftel as Jerri, Candy’s friends from the gym, create perfect tension around Candy which fitted in with the movement of the whole.
The most impressive presence was clearly produced by Victoria Luloff as Candy, whose slight style of underacting brought much emotional strength to her role as the highly challenged young woman who can’t seem to find her own way in this carnival of desires. Not only is she stunning but she reveals a great sensibility on stage and should really go onto much greater things.
Karl Wagner’s perfectly selected lighting brings up mysterious spaces, as Riley Stewart’s sound design inscribes bits from operas which are perfectly suited to the orchestration of the collective event. Those moments were very moving!!
Toto Too did its best to navigate through what was essentially a most difficult text and the result was certainly worth the effort. All our congratulations to the whole team.

A police officer is south-central Iowa has only minor injuries after an usual and frightening incident during a traffic stop. The whole thing was captured on the dashboard camera inside Centerville Police Officer Jeremy Veach’s squad car.
Veach had pulled over an SUV late Wednesday night and went to talk with the driver when a large tree fell on top of him and the SUV. Veach was knocked to ground. Centerville Police Chief Tom Demry told the local newspaper, the Daily Iowegian, that Veach will be O.K. and he’s fortunate that the SUV took the brunt of the rotted-out tree.
The driver of the SUV suffered minor injuries. She had been pulled over because her headlights were not on. She was not issued a citation. Demry called it a “freak of nature” accident, as there were not strong winds in the area at the time.

What we call a culture represents society's values. It contains customs and mores, along with prescriptions for how we should best live our lives.
The therapy culture tells us the most therapeutic way to live, thus the way that would most fully enhance our mental health. Of course, it also promotes the interests of the therapy industry.
Other cultures might offer ways to achieve social harmony, thus the most harmonious social relationships.
One might imagine that the therapy culture also tries to encourage behaviors that would make for more harmonious relationships. For some therapists, that is surely the case. For others, those of a more dialectical bent, it is not.
Take the following piece of conventional therapeutic wisdom:
All couples fight. Some fight fair; others fight mean. Some fights contribute to a couple's conjugal bliss; others destroy it. A good fight shows mutual respect and caring. A bad fight is laced with ad hominem attacks, criticism, and disrespect.
Thus, your goal, if you want your marriage to follow the precepts of the therapy culture, you need to learn how to fight well.
Sounds about right, doesn't it? You can read a good article on it by Elizabeth Bernstein in the Wall Street Journal. Link here.
Bernstein's title says it all: "Fighting Happily Ever After."
As I was reading her article, I had a strange thought. Perhaps, therapists are actually encouraging people to settle disagreements by fighting and arguing.
If you have learned that all couples fight, are you also learning that it is normal and healthy to indulge an occasional fight? If you are not fighting from time to time, does that mean that your marriage is not normal? Does the absence of fights signify problems in your marriage?
Why, in other words, are therapists encouraging fights when it is more constructive and more caring and more respectful to sit down and negotiate differences?
As it happens, some of the tactics that therapists use-- you can find them in Bernstein's article-- to teach couples how to fight fairly do involve basic negotiation skills.
Still and all, it sounds to me like these therapists are assuming that couples always fight. They are also assuming that if these couples were left to their true impulses, they would engage in some rather nasty fights.
Thus, therapists are trying to control a wayward and hostile impulse, rather than teaching that it is more normal and more adult to negotiate differences.
Why else do couples fight? Perhaps they have learned, from the culture, that disagreements are a zero sum game, an interaction where one will win and the other will lose. If that is what they believe, then they will be compelled to fight.
Perhaps both members of the couple have learned from the culture that they are autonomous individuals whose needs must be fulfilled and whose emotions must be expressed. If so, then their disagreements will very often lead to nasty fights.
This to say that if you follow the values that the therapy culture says should govern your life, you are probably going to have far more fights than you need to. It is a good thing that this culture has devised ways to take some of the sting out of those fights, but that does not make it less complicit in this fight game.
Instead of teaching people how to fight fairly, why not teach them how to negotiate effectively, so that each person can walk away from the discussion satisfied that he or she has gained something. Perhaps not everything, certainly not nothing, but something.
Negotiation is an acquired skill. So is conflict avoidance. You might take a step in their direction by learning how to fight fairly, but it would certainly be better if you did not think that fighting were inevitable.
You cannot fight your way to happiness. A fair fight is better than a brawl, but not fighting is best of all.

Ileal blowout due to ileal atresia in a donor with twinto- twin transfusion after fetoscopic laser surgery
Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) occurs in 10% of monochorionic twin pregnancies, and can lead to a variety of complications due to imbalanced blood flow across placental vascular communications. In this report, we describe a case of intestinal injury in TTTS after fetoscopic laser ablation of the communicating vessels. Intestinal ischemic diseases have been reported in the recipient fetus after fetoscopic laser treatment in TTTS. In this report, we describe a unique case of ileal atresia in the donor twin.

Trade-war and Middle East tensions in focus, following massive week of economic data
A big-week in global financial markets ended on a slightly sour note last week, and sets-up a relatively a soft start to the new trading week, today.
Investors wary, following a big week in global markets
A big-week in global financial markets ended on a slightly sour note last week, and sets-up a relatively a soft start to the new trading week, today. It was truly a jam-packed week, the week just gone, and it had a little bit of everything for everybody. There was plenty on the monetary policy front, some juicy economic data, and several geopolitical problems are ratcheting up and threatening to undermine global economic activity. It’s creating a general wariness in the market right now. The appetite for risk is there, but it’s being shackled by numerous risks, right now.
Event risk in the week ahead less prominent than last
There’s far less high-impact on the economic calendar this week. A lot of the key data-points, though important, will be used to colour market participant’s understanding of current fundamentals, rather than outright re-shape them. A spate of central bankers, including Australia’s RBA Governor Philip Lowe, speak. And European PMI data – released tonight – and US Final GDP and PCE Inflation numbers will provide a health-check on global the global economy. Out of all of this, the central question remains: what’s the extent of this global slowdown, and how do central bankers plan to address it?
A disconnect still exists between the market and policymakers
As it pertains to the latter part of that question, markets are still being made to feel as though they’re being left rather high-and-dry. There appears a fundamental disconnect in how markets and policymakers see the world. Markets are crying out for easier monetary policy conditions; however, policymakers are clearly reluctant to dole-it-out. It hasn’t stopped investors pricing-in a very high-chance of aggressive interest rate cuts across the globe in the next 12 months. But there is a nagging concern that perhaps central bankers won’t come to rescue if the global economy rolls-over – or that if they do, it may come too late.
Central bankers can’t help but wait-and-see
The logic behind central bankers reluctance to the dovish forward guidance the market is looking for is that they wish to “keep some powder dry”. And that makes a great-deal of sense, in and of itself, especially when considering policymakers core problem right now. The greatest variable in the outlook for global growth is one that’s inherently unpredictable: the outlook for the US-China trade-war, and to a lesser extent, the myriad of other geopolitical risks threatening to derail the global economy. A response to these issues by nature can’t come in anticipation of their consequences. Hence, policy makers are somewhat forced to wait-and-see.
Investors remain highly sensitive to trade-war headlines
Investors tacitly understand this concept, partly explaining why markets remain so sensitive to fast-moving news and headlines. The dynamic was illustrated on Friday night, after reasonably benign US-China trade-war news knocked US stocks over, and sent traders running into safe-haven assets. The news: China has cancelled a farm-tour in the US, while US President Trump quashed suggestions the US and China could strike an interim trade-deal. Though barely more than headlines, those stories legged market sentiment to end the week last week. The S&P 500 gave up half-a-per-cent during Friday’s trade, as investors flocked back into government bonds, gold and the Yen in search for safety.
Tensions in the Middle East still growing
Heightening military tensions in the Middle East is also weighing on investor confidence, and that’s playing out in market pricing too. The bellicose rhetoric being fired between the US and Iran is only becoming more extreme, with the US reportedly moving military personnel into Saudi Arabia in anticipation of an outright conflict. Iran snapped back at the US’s aggression by threatening it would “destroy” any country that attacks it. An adequate “war-premium” is apparently still being priced into oil prices – and broader financial markets – as the potential for an economically disruptive war between the US and Iran grows increasingly likely.
The interest for Australian markets
As it applies to Australian markets to begin the week, and the pertinent indicators suggest trade should kick-off calmly. The ASX 200 ought to open roughly flat. The AUD is a skerrick higher, but this is after shedding 1.5% last week. Assuming global politics stays out of the headlines, in terms of local news, the commentariat will probably be fairly pre-occupied with speculation regarding next week’s RBA meeting this week. After last week’s weak jobs data and dovish RBA Minutes, the Aussie Dollar is finding itself sold-off, and stock markets are receiving a boost, as traders give an 80% chance of a rate cut next week.

Alex Chadsey (piano, keyboards, compositions); Farko Dosumov (electric bass, voice); Jeff "Bongo" Busch (drums & percussion)
Keyboard player Alex Chadsey was fluent in jazz and classical forms. He’d walked the usual, rigorous path of a conservatory-style music education. Then he wound up in Seattle, University of Michigan music degree in hand, not sure of what to do. The answer: Play in salsa bands, perfect his montuno, and learn how music creates community. Chadsey’s creative output changed dramatically, coming together in 2016 as a trio project Duende Libre. Their self-titled debut album (released May 5, 2017) distills years of performing, apprenticing with master musicians, and crafting originals that explore Latin elements in new contexts. The results are savvy and grooving, reflecting the Seattle scenes Chadsey inhabits and loves, where Uzbek bassists and Jamaican poets and border-crossing fandangos power musical visions. An inspired power trio, Duende Libre features longtime collaborators Alex Chadsey (piano/keyboards/compositions), Farko Dosumov (electric bass & voice) and Jeff “Bongo” Busch (drums & percussion). Duende Libre utilizes the American jazz tradition as a point of departure for daring explorations of traditional and classical music from the Americas, Europe & Africa, yielding catchy melodies, lush harmonies, and wholehearted groove. Their second album is due out this coming Spring.


Review: A Man along having a Woman (along with Another Woman) in ‘Lover for a Day’
Philippe Garrel’s “Lover for a Day” looks like a dream. A singular filmmaker, Mr. Garrel makes intensely personal films about love, family along with intimacy which are filled with romantic agonies along with beautiful faces made for close-ups. Often shot in luxuriant black along with white, these are movies to swoon over, though how long you do so in “Lover for a Day” depends on whether you find its ideas about love, faithfulness, men along with women charmingly old-fashioned, exasperatingly naïve or merely deterministic. As will be often the case with some other people’s reveries, you may not necessarily want to share in which one.
The story involves a neatly constructed triangle which will be almost parodically French, or perhaps just cinematically so: a 23-year-old woman, her doting father along with his 23-year-old live-in girlfriend. Shortly after the film opens, Jeanne (Esther Garrel, the director’s daughter), flees to her father’s apartment. Distraught along with nearly frantic, she broke with her boyfriend which very evening along with will be seeking refuge along with comfort in her father’s insouciantly bohemian digs. which’s a bit crowded, what with all the books along with his fresh girlfriend, although Gilles (Eric Caravaca) loves his daughter.
Gilles also loves Ariane (Louise Chevillote), one of his students. A philosophy professor, he teaches at a school with atmospherically peeling walls which are ideal settings for sexual assignations, as you discover within the two scenes which effectively bookend the movie. In between, a great deal happens, mostly on an intimate level in modest rooms. In bedrooms along with across tables, Jeanne, Ariane along with Gilles pour out their hearts along with reflect on love as they — word by word along with with discreet along with grand gestures — stake claims on one or another’s affections. Like chess pieces on a very modest board, Ariane along with Jeanne advance along with retreat, even as Gilles remains more or less in place.
“Lover for a Day” beguiles the eye. Shooting in 35-millimeter black-along with-white film, Mr. Garrel fills the wide screen having a ravishment of tones, by inkiest black to crystalline white along with every imaginable gray in between. There’s a deceptive casualness to his visuals. Every image looks harmonious without being fastidious, which means which you see the picture rather than the intention. Yet even when you see the thought behind his images, the gentle disorder of his characters’ lives, with their patched walls along with messes, creates an inviting informality which strengthens his realism. He’s a master of near-perfection, of dazzlingly lit along with shot wisps of hair along with tear-streaked cheeks.
Quite a few tears splash down in “Lover for a Day,” which tracks Jeanne after she moves in with Gilles along with Ariane. which’s a surprisingly smooth transition, or so the film insists. Mr. Garrel, who shares screenwriting credit with three others (including the veteran Jean-Claude Carrière), puts a lot of words into his characters mouths, not many of them persuasive. Soon after Jeanne arrives, she along with Ariane talk about love, breeze past the fact which they’re the same age along with quickly shift by the personal to the platitudinous. “You’ll get over which,” Ariane assures Jeanne about her breakup, “we always do.” When pressed on who she means, exactly, Ariane earnestly replies: “I mean every woman.”
The solemnity of which exchange — with its lilting piano chords along with the Raphaelite tranquillity of Ariane’s face — suggests which Mr. Garrel sincerely believes which about women, which would likely be fine if his characters were more convincingly individual. Yet even though each will be given a moment (a near-suicide, one affair along with then another), Jeanne, Ariane along with Gilles stick to a disappointingly familiar script. While Jeanne embraces her role as the dejected, apparently unconscious daughter with daddy issues, Ariane plays the part of the free-spirited object of a rather different kind of paternal desire. Gilles, meanwhile, settles into the role of the obliging patriarch who’s hot or warm as needed.
There are times when the characters — along with their director — surprise along with genuinely delight. In one heart-piercingly elegiac sequence, Jeanne along with Gilles head off together, leaving Ariane behind. As he does elsewhere within the film, Mr. Garrel introduces which interlude having a lovely piano flourish along having a few words by the intermittent narrator (Laetitia Spigarelli): “which evening, Gilles went out with his daughter.” The voice-over briefly suggests the start of a once-upon-a-time story, yet as Jeanne along with Gilles walk along with talk, the scene becomes something far more enchanting: two people whose unforced intimacy speaks to a bond which feels shaped by a shared history rather than clichés.

Deal-hungry Altice, which has built up a significant European cable-to-mobile business, made its second major foray into the US with an agreement to acquire Cablevision Systems for $17.7 billion including debt.
Combining Cablevision with Suddenlink, recently acquired by Altice for $9.1 billion, would make the fourth largest cable operator in the US.
Cablevision boasts a 65 per cent take up among its subscribers of triple play services, combining fixed telephony, TV and broadband. In markets such as France and Portugal, Altice has added mobile telephony to the mix. Interestingly, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal this summer, Altice’s founder, Patrick Drahi, said: “My vision is to do the same in the US, but bigger”, referring to quadplay packages, although it is unclear so far how he plans to add mobile services in the States.
Earlier this summer Altice launched a failed takeover bid for Time Warner Cable.
The deal values Cablevision, which has a market value of $7.9 billion, at $17.7 billion including debt.
Altice intends to finance the acquisition with $14.5 billion of new and existing debt at Cablevision, as well as $900 million in cash on hand at the cable operator, plus $3.3 billion of cash from Altice. Private equity firms BC Partners and CPP Investment Board have an option to buy up to 30 per cent of the equity of Cablevision.
Acquiring the US cable operator rebalances Altice’s revenue mix 70-30 in favour of fixed vs mobile, following previous purchases of France’s SFR and PT Portugal which had skewed it more towards the mobile business.

There are less than two months until the elections. The state of Florida is key to these elections and, especially, the Latino community. According to some studies, such as that of the Pew Research Center, it could also play a determining role.
That is why both the Democratic and Republican campaigns are holding various acts of support for their respective candidates, with the aim of persuading the vote of the Hispanic community in South Florida.
Both events were held with caravans. In the event supporting Joe Biden, the supporters carried signs saying that “Puerto Rico is not for sale”, referring to the information that appeared in recent weeks in which President Trump showed his interest in selling the Caribbean island after the passage Hurricane Maria three years ago.
The Trump support event was somewhat more patriotic, with people carrying American flags and caps bearing the popular slogan “Make America Great Again.” They consider that Joe Biden does not have a plan for the Hispanic community in the United States and point out that the current president has been “by our side.”

2011 Lincoln MKX Earns IIHS Top Safety Pick
"New Lincoln models feature some of the most innovative safety technologies, and we are delighted that all are now rated 'Top Safety Picks' by the IIHS," said Scott Tobin, director, Lincoln Product Development. "Prestige and safety go hand in hand, and this is proof that Lincoln offers safety as another compelling reason to buy."
The model comes with a solid unibody construction, which provides an energy-absorbing structure to help protect occupants. Bumper-to-bumper flow-through side rails, structural design and A-pillars are designed to better manage crash energy. Nearly half of the stiff shell is composed of high-strength steels, such as boron, for both increased strength and reduced weight.
“When a crash becomes unavoidable, MKX relies on an array of airbags and other technologies to help protect occupants. Two front second-generation airbags and two side airbags are joined by a Safety Canopy consisting of side-curtain airbags for two rows of passengers. The first row safety belts feature pretensioners and an energy management system with adjustable D-ring height in the first row,” Ford explains in a company statement.
The MKX joins the MKS, MKT and MKZ in the IIHS awarded vehicles circle. Recently, Lincoln received the highest score for long-term durability among all vehicle brands in the annual J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Vehicle Dependability Study. The MKX competes against the Audi Q5, Lexus RX and the Cadillac SRX.

Q & A with Fateme Banishoeib
Q. What inspired you to write FREEVOLUTION?
A. I focus on establishing and sustaining habits of wellbeing. On top of my list is self-reflection. I believe nobody has our answers. We have the path within ourselves. Our only job is to discover it, uncover it, and walk it. And this is the core, the soul of Freevolution. It is a practice I have done for myself since 2017. Every year, I focus daily on a word to live and breathe. In 2017, it was Freevolution. To me, it meant embodying and manifesting more freedom, love, and r-evolution in my life. After I have done the practice myself and re-discovered my strengths, dug deeper into my belief system, I wanted to make it accessible to others. I have shaped my own practice to provide guidance, inspiration, mantras for others to uncover their own wisdom and tap into their intuition. And Freevolution was born 😉
Q. You write about finding wholeness in accepting the light and the dark parts of oneself, tell us more about that journey of self-discovery.
A. Often we are drawn to think or associate shadows with dark and negative. I instead think that shadows are dark because they have not been illuminated yet by our attention and awareness. Our shadows are the parts we neglect for fear of being rejected, not loved, not accepted. They are the parts we carve out in order to fit in. We learn to be good from a young age to be accepted and loved. This desire of being good prevents us to embrace the shadows. Exploring our shadow side, however, gives us tremendous opportunities for growth and development. Carl Jung said, “I must have a shadow also if I am to be whole.” I believe what he meant was that we cannot truly know our light until we deal with the darkness of our shadow. The integration process requires us to embark on a journey inward to connect with our true and authentic self. This inner journey of self-discovery, I call the heroine’s journey, is a way to reclaim our personal power and inner freedom and thus to live with integrity. Integrity for me is feeling whole and complete. This inner work involves recognising and acknowledging the abandoned and disowned parts of ourselves to allow our inner light to embrace and heal them into wholeness. For me, it meant re-discovering poetry after I had abandoned it for decades. The power of poetry has been transformational for me. I had to learn how to integrate it back into my life. It was a process of rebirthing myself. I had to give birth to the shadows to be reborn. Exploring our shadow can lead to greater authenticity, creativity, energy, and personal awakening. My wish for us all is to have the courage to embrace the shadow.
Q. What inspired you to start ReNEW Business?
A. Business has become a metaphor for sacrifice and de-humanization. It is almost as if we are requested to sacrifice our humanity if we want to be employable. I believe actually the opposite. It is an old paradigm based on scarcity, fear, and trying to survive that we are now able to transform thanks to all the progress we have made in so many fields. ReNEW Business is inspired by my own desire to recast what we currently know about business and create a business model based on humane inclusion and integrated leadership that builds a resilient workforce poised to flourish instead of perishing in these volatile times.
Q. What has been the role of poetry in your business and in your life?
A. When I was a little girl, I did not keep a regular journal. Instead, I wrote in a lyrical style to avoid anyone, myself included, from understanding it. It was my own way of hiding from the world and at times from myself too. I hid to protect my truth from being misunderstood. Then growing up I was pushed to abandon it in favour of a more “logical” path. There was my corporate job, my academic life, the achiever, the doctor, and then there was poetry but never integrated. Until the poems from my childhood came back. They were a map for the light and shadow to integrate, to enter into a larger story. The story of understanding and creating that makes all of us human. My poems were my way to unlearn the story I had constructed and just be. Poetry for me is the measurement of the status of our humanity. Poetry supports our development by broadening our compassion. When embraced, it becomes how we grow out of aloneness into collectiveness. When we look at the future of business, we cannot consider technology as the extensions of our consciousness. If we want to use technology to serve all humankind, we need to bring poetry back and make it accessible to all. We need to be able to connect the rational and emotional and poetry is the bridge between the two. Adding poetry to business (to life) supports all of us to: attend our humanity; understand what moves inside and outside us; listen to the needs business tries to resolve and make meaning of the multitudes — the unique human facets we contain and the universal facets of a global world. Poetry is the transformative power of the substance we are made of. I invite you all to attend your own humanity and expand it through poetry as an act of self-leadership.
Q. What have you learned about leadership, entrepreneurship, and mentoring others?
A. I believe we are all leaders. The question then is: can we really dare to lead others without being able to follow our own SELF? It is time we acknowledge that there is no separation between leadership and followership; they are the two sides of the same coin that present a fullness — a whole picture perspective. We cannot be one without being the other if we want to be whole. I mentor and coach many people, executives, young entrepreneurs, writers, and I always tell them that they already know their path and have their own answers, I am there to ask different questions so that they can get unstuck or see a challenge from a different perspective. I had to learn on my own when I embarked on the journey of entrepreneurship that what we fear the most is actually our best friend and that is “failure.” If we spend too much time focusing on acceptance we become prey of perfectionism and never move into action. We limit ourselves by trying to avoid failure or mistakes. It is from them that we learn and the sooner we learn this lesson the faster we unlock our potential to do good things that serve others and not only ourselves.
Q. As a Founder and Creative, what advice would you give to other women who want to succeed in the workplace?
A. Many of my clients tell me: “I became the person I thought the world wanted me to be.” Usually, they do not tell me this with a smile on their faces… quite the opposite in fact. Of course, it is not all a lie. However, the reality is that we often cut off parts of our expression to fit the mould of what our companies, our society, our families, and even we ourselves think we should be. We think we need to look, act, be a certain way hoping we will belong. This belief, unfortunately, is taught more to women than men. We seek belonging, which is one of the basic human needs, but we actually achieve something quite different. We get to “fit in” and conform… we lose touch with the wholeness of who we really are.
I invite people to get to know themselves again. From the heart of who they truly are and desire, they can lead powerfully. When we lead from “playing a role” vs. being whole, it is unsustainable. We start feeling overwhelmed if not disengaged and risk to become disconnected from who we are and the purpose of our lives. The continuous and restless push of showing only our best selves can lead us to start losing sight of who we are, what our gifts are, and what lights us up. I instead believe in bringing our whole self to game and not just those facets that are rewarded.
Q. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
A. I enjoy travelling and discovering new places, cultures, habits. I am an avid reader who needs to move her body a lot. In fact, I run or hike daily, dance tango, and practice yoga.
Q. Are you working on any other books or projects currently?
A. I have several ongoing collaborations with other artists to create experiences that show how arts benefit the world of business… after all I call myself “business heARTist!” My desire is to create a community of business heartists who bring their arts as healing balm to the world of business. And I am writing a book on it as well… so stay tuned if you are curious to see what will unfold from this “crazy idea.”

The chief executive of a London care charity was unfairly dismissed by his organisation, an employment tribunal has found, although the judge raised concerns that some of his behaviour was “wholly inappropriate”.
Kevin Drugan, who was chief executive of Carers Lewisham until July 2018, won a case for unfair dismissal and breach of contract against the charity, according to court documents published yesterday.
But the tribunal concluded that Drugan was “a very significant contributor to his own dismissal”, and as a result cut the amount of compensation he may receive.
The hearing was delayed for more than four years, in part because of the coronavirus crisis.
Drugan brought the case for constructive unfair dismissal in October 2018, arguing that he resigned following conduct by the charity that constituted “a fundamental breach of his employment contract”, the court documents say. The charity then terminated Drugan’s employment during his notice period over allegations of gross misconduct.
The charity’s “finances were in a somewhat precarious state” in 2018, the judge said, and there had been disagreements between Drugan and some of his trustees over managing staff and expenditure.
The judge accepted evidence that one trustee had spoken “inappropriately” to Drugan, and noted that the chief executive and the board had clashed when Drugan planned to make a member of staff redundant only for the employee to be reinstated by trustees after appealing against the redundancy.
Drugan told the tribunal that “this decision, and the way that it had been implemented, had made his role as chief executive untenable, as it cut across his own strategy for bringing the organisation’s finances into a better position”.
But the tribunal concluded that the board’s decisions had been appropriate in this case.
It said: “A chief executive whose strategy and vision does not align with that of the board of an organisation may decide that the situation is untenable because he will not be able to work productively with a board whose vision differs radically from his own.
“But that does not by itself mean that there has been a repudiatory breach of the chief executive’s contract – far from it. A charity chief executive does not have a contractual right to agreement from the board of trustees about measures he chooses to adopt.
“A board of trustees is entitled to reach its own view of the course of action that will best serve the interests of the charity – and indeed they are under a duty as trustees to form that view independently of the wishes of the chief executive.”
The judge upheld Drugan’s claim for wrongful dismissal because the investigation into allegations that led trustees to terminate Drugan’s contract “did not in fact at any stage include a meeting with [Drugan] himself”.
This breached the charity’s disciplinary procedure, which “could not have been clearer on this point”, the tribunal found.
However, the judge described Drugan as “a very significant contributor to his own dismissal”, and referred to concerns raised inside the charity by whistleblowers worried about how the chief executive handled its finances.
The chief executive and the board had agreed “what were in effect financial subsidies” to Drugan following a cycling accident, according to tribunal documents. All parties expected that the money would be paid back once a separate personal injury claim had been settled.
But the judge’s conclusions said that Drugan “in my judgement made use of the [charity]’s finances in a way that was wholly inappropriate, effectively using his employer, a small and impecunious charity, as a banking facility”.
A report produced by the charity in June 2018 identified several financial issues, according to the tribunal documents, including payments to a gym and £5,000 in taxi bills.
The judge said: “It was in my view clearly improper for him to be, in effect, borrowing significant sums from his employer, without proper accountability and without a clear guarantee that he would eventually be in funds and able to pay it back.
“In a small charity such as [Carers Lewisham] the chief executive is relied upon to act with the highest standards of integrity, without the need for daily oversight and with an exceptionally high degree of trust placed in the occupant of the role by trustees.”
The judge added that, in his opinion, Drugan “exploited the management weaknesses of his employer to his own advantage and, whether or not he was technically dishonest, this was nevertheless wholly inappropriate conduct.
“None of the investigation into his conduct as regards the [charity]’s funds would have been necessary if he had not allowed this state of affairs to unfold”.
The tribunal therefore concluded that Drugan had made a “considerable contribution of 80 per cent” to his dismissal.
The judge said: “In other words, 80 per cent of the reason for the dismissal lay at the claimant’s own door as a result of his failure to observe proper boundaries between his personal finances and those of the [charity]. I fall short of saying 100 per cent because of the contribution made by the serious shortcomings in the procedure adopted by the trustees.”
The judge recommended that both the basic and compensatory awards to Drugan should subsequently be reduced by 80 per cent.
Carers Lewisham did not respond to a request for comment. Third Sector approached Drugan via his most recent employers, who passed on the query to him, but received no reply.

In a country bifurcated between two languages, Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko has decided to focus his country’s attention on yet a third—English. The new year marks the launch of a presidential decree defining 2016 as “The Year of English Language in Ukraine,” calling for a series of actions to promote English across social, political, and educational fronts. Beyond simply its linguistic purpose, the decree is strongly aligned with Ukraine’s post-Euromaidan efforts to forge a new identity and sunder its longstanding association with the Russian Federation.
The decree was signed by Poroshenko in mid-November 2015, although he had previously taken measures to emphasize the importance of English for Ukraine’s integration into the European community. In June, Poroshenko announced that mastery of the English language had to become a priority for state politicians. By October 1st, he had put his statement into action, making English proficiency a mandatory prerequisite for appointment to senior positions in the Ukrainian presidential administration. Poroshenko further accentuated his focus on the English language in an address at the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy’s 400th anniversary celebration, where he stated: “Mohyla pioneered two working languages—Ukrainian and English…I think it would be very good if in Ukraine, and not just at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, there appeared a second working language. And this language should rightly be English.”
Calling for Ukraine’s second working language to “rightly be English” is both deeply reformative and ambitious. Although Ukrainian is technically the country’s only official language, nearly 45 percent of Ukrainians use Russian in their daily lives. While this figure has likely shifted following the 2014 Euromaidan, which inspired a nationwide push to speak Ukrainian, Russian still dominates as Ukraine’s unofficial second working language, particularly in large cities and Ukraine’s east. In addition to fighting a linguistic shadow of the Soviet era, Ukraine lags behind its European neighbors in English proficiency, ranking 23rd of 27 European countries listed by the 2015 Education First English Proficiency Index (EF EPI).
Nevertheless, the 2015 EF EPI suggests Ukraine has made huge strides in its individual English proficiency trends since 2014. According to the Index, Ukraine was able to move up to a “Moderate Proficiency” rating from “Low Proficiency” in the span of a year. Furthermore, Ukraine has had the second largest increase in proficiency by a European nation, improving its score by 4.11 points.
“The Year of English Language in Ukraine” will likely continue this positive momentum in 2016. The decree seeks to invigorate English language learning primarily through supporting the national program “Go Global” and its multifaceted model for English instruction. Go Global characterizes itself as a “point of convergence of the president, the cabinet of ministers, embassies, cultural centers, language schools, and the public.” The organization aims to promote the study of foreign languages for social, political, and economic development in Ukraine. In addition to President Poroshenko, Go Global’s supporters include Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the British Council, and the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.
Go Global launched a national action plan called “Україна Speaking” (Ukraine Speaking), which intends to implement English language education through three strategic channels. The first targets the government, with the hope of creating a new generation of English-speaking government employees. By 2020, Go Global wants all of Ukraine’s Class A civil servants to speak at least one of the two official languages of the Council of Europe: English and French.
The second realm of Україна Speaking is directed at reforming foreign language studies in Ukrainian grade schools and higher education institutions to be compliant with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standards. This includes retesting foreign language teachers across Ukraine and implementing a series of nationwide summer language camps and linguistic “Olympiads” for students. The initiative also plans to promote English through films and television programs by broadcasting more content in English with subtitles instead of dubbing. This simple alteration in media adaptation has proven to be a highly effective step for many of Europe’s leaders in English proficiency. Finally, Go Global intends to attract native English speakers to teach in Ukraine by involving diaspora communities and simplifying the procedures for working in Ukraine.
This commitment to redefining Ukraine’s second working language in 2016 also creates a marked separation from Russia that is as much ideological and economic as it is linguistic. In an article discussing Go Global’s initiatives, Mustafa Nayyem, a Ukrainian journalist and member of parliament, characterized foreign languages as the “most important tool of integration into the European community.” Nayyem sees English as a way for Ukraine to free itself from an era of damaging association and identity with Russia. “Over the past decades, politicians have driven us into a banal conflict between the Ukrainian and Russian languages. I am convinced that the new generation of Ukrainians must get away from these humiliating comparisons that implicitly enforce an inferiority complex. It is time to move toward the big world in which language serves not only as a key in self-identification but also as a tool for acquiring knowledge and information.”
“This commitment to redefining Ukraine’s second working language in 2016 also creates a marked separation from Russia that is as much ideological and economic as it is linguistic.”
English language professor, Larisa Kalinina, of Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University, echoed this sentiment: “Ukraine’s students, particularly those who are not part of linguistic faculties, lose out a lot. We have university students across all disciplines of study that are brilliant but cannot communicate with peers and scholars from around the world. English breaks down these barriers and allows them to learn and contribute to their fields from within.”
Cultivating English as a second working language will strengthen Ukraine’s position in global discourse and will likely stimulate economic growth. Increased English proficiency will bolster Ukraine’s potential for international outsourcing, particularly in the IT sector, as well as encourage a rise in tourism and business opportunity. As the world’s primary international language, English will allow Ukraine to realize many of its developmental goals by increasing national and individual employability and connectivity to the rest of the world.
Ultimately, the initiatives encompassed in “The Year of English” demonstrate a deliberate effort to reimagine the future of Ukraine and take a step closer toward its European counterparts in 2016.

The League of Friends of Buckingham Hospital was formed in 1967 to save the Hospital from the threat of closure. It now works with the local community to support the Hospital’s patients and staff.
The League funds equipment and services at the Hospital which lie outside the stretched budget of the NHS but which benefit patients and help the dedicated staff in carrying out their duties. Day-to-day contribution includes a trolley of cakes and other treats for patients, a supply of fruit for the staff, daily newspapers, water dispensers, planting and maintenance of the Hospital gardens, maintenance of the Motability car provided by the League, Christmas gifts for patients and staff, and the annual Carol Concert given by the Lenborough Singers. But this is only a small part of the League’s work and examples of our major projects can be found here: Projects. And our up-to-date news can be found here: News
The League also helps to increase the public profile of the Hospital as an important and valued facility for Buckingham and the surrounding area by attending the North Buckinghamshire Primary Care Network meetings and the Clinical Commissioning Group locality meetings. At the moment, when plans are being made for a new state-of-the-art Health Hub – the Buckingham Healthcare Centre – on the Lace Hill development, the League is actively monitoring what effect these may have on Buckingham Hospital, the building itself, its outpatient services and the in-patient beds.
The League of Friends is a registered charity (No. 275888). Its trustees meet regularly to consider requests for funding and to keep abreast of developments in the local Health Service.
The League’s work is only funded by the generosity of local individuals and businesses. If you would like to join us in supporting Buckingham Hospital, please click here: Support us

My wife Carrie and I have a precious baby girl Maeve, who is 3 weeks old today! Both Carrie and I have been sketching Maeve when she holds relatively still (and I’ll post some more of those sketches soon) and we used a few of our sketches to create this birth announcement which we’ve mailed out to family and friends.
Above is the inside of the card. For mailing it’s folded vertically in the middle of the image above. I did the lettering by hand, and used a sketch from my Sketchbook No. 67. I think that the lettering turned out well. I actually did lay it out in pencil first – something that I don’t do all that often… but, hey, there’s only one time I’ll ever create a birth announcement for my first born, no?
Below is the back side (outside) of the card.
We’ve hand-written address in the bottom blank area, and affixed a stamp partially obscuring the stork image.
Here’s the back, right-side up, too. The image on the left was drawn by my wife Carrie Lincourt. The one on the right is mine.
I am pretty happy that we got these drawn, copied, addressed and mailed while Maeve is still a baby! It’s a little bit similar to birth announcements I did when my sister’s son Garrett and daughter Paige were born… at some point I will scan and post those and you can compare.
Both Carrie and I have been posting photos and tales of our baby daughter Maeve at my other blog The Periodic Fable.

CAG.468 Edward Ambrose, Cupid and Psyche, 1840, marble, 50 x 106 x 46 cm. Purchased, Mrs Bennet, 1920 (Gibson Bequest Fund).
Love is in the air with this WORK OF THE WEEK!
Cupid and Psyche (1840) by Edward Ambrose is a love letter in stone. Sculpted in marble, it presents a vision of perfect love frozen in time and is a scene derived from an ancient story in Metamorphoses by the North African writer Apuleius (c.124-c.170).
The love affair between Cupid, the son of Venus and Mars, and the mortal Psyche is one for the ages, albeit complicated by the involvement of the ancient gods.
As the tale goes, Venus (Aphrodite) resented Psyche as a rival to her own beauty so she cursed the love Psyche shared with Cupid (Eros) and was forbidden to look upon him. The artist selects the fateful instant in which Psyche breaks the rules and holds a lamp above Cupid, seeing him for the first time. Soon a drop of oil will fall onto Cupid’s shoulder and the beauty of the moment will be spoiled.
Fun Fact: In 1852, this sculpture was featured at the National Exhibition, Cork. As with the great Neoclassical sculptor Antonio Canova (1757-1822) before him, Edward Ambrose (1814-1890) was to make other works on the same theme: Psyche discovering Cupid and Cupid Raising Psyche from the Soporiphic Vision were both exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1858.
Acquired for the collection in 1920, Cupid and Psyche was among the first artworks purchased through the Gibson Bequest Fund.
Cupid and Psyche (1840) by Edward Ambrose is featured in RECASTING CANOVA in our Sculpture Galleries (Ground Floor).

text: Vladimir Putin is strictly against applying double standards in the fight against anti-terrorism, a RIA Novosti correspondent reports. The president announced during a press conference following Russian-Indian talks that "we are categorically against double standards" when combating international terrorism. "It means there are no good terrorists or bad terrorists," he said. This, continued the president, implies that people and organizations who wield weapons in order to solve political problems should be condemned, while the international community should fight them. The international community's efforts should be designed to eliminate any opportunity for the terrorists to achieve their goals, Putin observed. He also stressed that a policy of double standards could split the international coalition and so it should be avoided at all costs.
