Marie Joseph Henri Jean de Baroncelli, Xè Marquès de Javon (16è districte de París, 25 de març de 1914 - Montpeller, 31 de juliol de 1998) és un escriptor i crític de cinema francès. Dedicat a la crítica cinematogràfica al diari le Monde del 1953 al 1983.

Biografia
Nascut uns mesos abans de l'esclat de la Primera Guerra Mundial. A la mort del seu pare, el cineasta Jacques de Baroncelli, es convertiria en el Xè marquès de Baroncelli, [1] encara que el títol l'esmentava poc. La seva família provenia de la petita noblesa provençal amb orígens a la Toscana i havia prosperat gràcies al comerç durant el .

Va estudiar Dret i Humanitats al prestigiós École libre des sciences politiques (Sciences Po). Durant la dècada de 1940 va publicar diverses novel·les, inclosa Vingt-six hommes (1942) i Le disgracié (1946). Es va casar amb l'actriu de teatre Sophie Desmarets l'octubre de 1950 i la parella es va traslladar a una antiga granja que havia heretat al nord-oest de Montpeller, on durant els estius seguien un estil de vida de celebritats, amb festes freqüents. Tot i això, les gelades no estacionals del 1956 van arruïnar la collita del vi aquell any i es va haver de vendre gran part de les terres de conreu. Posteriorment continuaren venent terres, i la majoria de les 300 hectàrees havien estat venudes i desenvolupades per a habitatges a finals dels anys seixanta. Mentrestant, la filla de la parella, Caroline, va néixer el 1952.

Des del 1953 fins a 1983 va col·laborar regularment a Le Monde, proporcionant nombroses ressenyes de pel·lícules juntament amb entrevistes i articles d'investigació. Va formar part de diversos jurats de festivals de cinema (Berlín 1957, Canes 1958 i 1963, i Venècia 1961). En una etapa va ser membre del comitè organitzador del Festival Internacional de Cinema de Canes. També ha participat diverses vegades a la ràdio francesa sobre el programa d'art i de crítica "Le Masque et la Plume". Fou un dels primers col·laboradors de Libération, originalment un diari de la resistència, i membre fundador de l'Associació francesa dels cinemes d'art i d'assaig el 1955.

The ITU-EC Forum for Europe on "Accessible Europe: ICT for ALL" will take place in Vienna, Austria, from 12 to 14 December 2018. This regional event for Europe is being jointly organized by the Telecommunication Development Bureau (BDT) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and European Commission (EC), and hosted by United Nations Vienna.
Accessible Europe is held within the framework of the implementation of the Regional Initiative for Europe on Accessibility, affordability and skills development for all to ensure digital inclusion and sustainable development adopted by the World Telecommunication Development Conference 2017 and aiming at bridging the digital divide and equip all groups of society, including persons with disabilities and specific needs, to take advantage of ICT, by enabling capacity building in digital skills.
In the context of the above this Forum will focus on further promoting the development of accessibility in countries and institutions, through the effort and cooperation of stakeholders and sharing successful outcomes of projects and initiatives already implemented, in order to interchange resources and solutions and make Europe region a more inclusive society. Telecommunications and the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have vital importance for people's empowerment and in promoting accessibility policies. The event will highlight the relevance of joining efforts to remove barriers and enable human development and social inclusion of persons with disabilities and special needs and other groups of people with specific needs, either through cooperation, programs and projects development, and generate partnerships, and training.
In line with this, the ITU and EC have joined efforts to encourage Governments, industry, Academia and other stakeholders to promote ICT accessibility in order to create fair and equal opportunities for all people and support a regional development agenda by treating ICT accessibility for people with specific needs and in particular persons with disabilities, as a cross‐cutting development issue.
The organizers of the event are planning an effective integration of the participants in the activities of the programme.
The ITU Office for Europe is pleased to announce the Winners of the first Innovative Digital Solutions Competition for an Accessible Europe which was held by ITU in the realm of the co-organized ITU–EC regional forum Accessible Europe, hosted at UN Office Vienna, Austria.
We thank all submitting organizations and particularly our three winning project representatives who joined the Accessible Europe Forum and presented their innovations at the awards ceremony with reception at UN Vienna on December 13, 2018.

Q: OpenMDAOv1+: Is there a way to finite difference over a single variable in a component? I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but is there a way to finite difference over a single variable in a component that already provides the derivatives of all its other variables? The only way I can come up with is to hard code my own finite differenced gradient for the single variable within the component in question so that openmdao sees the result as a provided gradient.

A: You are right, that is the only way to do it right now. We have talked about adding an option to automatically fill in the missing derivatives with finite difference ones, but I think it will be a while before that is implemented.

Bob Marley's Legacy Part 1
Bob Marley the Great Posthumous Cultural Ambassador of Jamaica.
The Marley's signature sound has impacted generations internationally.
Marley is one of the greatest Cultural Ambassadors of Jamaica with a powerful and innovative signature sound.
Since Bob Marley's death on 11thMay 1981, he has become an international cultural and musical icon, representing the sunny island of Jamaica, through the Jamaican Tourist Board, with his classic song: "One Love", which is featured on media outlets across the globe in many different languages to promote the island as a holiday destination.
Marley's music has impacted on every cultural and ethnic group through his personal philosophy, which was based on human empowerment and emancipation from mental, physical and spiritual slavery. Economic empowerment was also part of his personal philosophy. He is a key figure in the Rastafarian religion which started in Jamaica.
Marley's musical compositions reflect the colours of the Jamaican national flag, black, gold and green. The black signifies strength, gold symbolises the sunshine and green is a reflection of the land. The people are strong and creative, with 76.3% black, 15.1% Afro- European, 3% East Indian and Afro-East Indian, 3.2 % white and finally 1.2% Chinese and Afro – Chinese. To honour his many achievements, the Jamaican Post Office decided to issue a Bob Marley commemorative stamp on 29th December 1982. Then, nearly 10 years after his death, the Jamaican government decided to commemorate his birthday by proclaiming a national holiday on 1st February 1990.
Before Marley and The Wailers developed their musical art form, they were influenced by early R&B classics recorded by legendary American artists such as Ray Charles, Sam Cooke and especially the Impressions, led at different times by Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler. The Impressions' flawless harmonies seem to have had considerable impact. The output from Motown recording studios in Detroit was another major influence in the development from ska-blue beat to rock steady and finally to full blown reggae, showing the same innovation and passionate approach that Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone exemplified and in the process creating a revolutionary sound that has made reggae commercially successful as an international musical art form.
This did not go unnoticed by music institutions such as the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), who conduct the Grammy Award programme in USA. The organisation has now created a Reggae Awards Category. It is interesting to see that Bob's son Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley received two Grammy awards for "Best Reggae Album" and "Best Urban/Alternative Performance" at the 48thannual Grammy Awards . Also Damian's mother is Cindy Breakspeare, Jamaica's former Miss World. Damian is continuing with his father's musical legacy with international success.

Different talents and viewpoints allow us to approach each project from its multiple dimensions. Interacting with each of them enables us to conduct an effective and high-standard process.
To manage all the dimensions implied in technology transfer is a highly dynamic process that encompasses unexpected changes of context. To adapt to them and navigate them successfully is vital for the subsistence of a project.
Motivation, the engine of knowledge, gives us experience and allows us to find new alternatives and possibilities, sometimes different from the ones envisioned when a technology first originated.
Each project requires different paths for its development. To create diverse strategies that allow the overcoming of obstacles and the implementation of a technology in a manner that is beneficial for all involved, is fundamental.

Mike Pence wants to have his cake and eat it too
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-largeUpdated: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 15:02:45 GMTSource: CNNDuring a CNN town hall on Wednesday night, Mike Pence was asked to reckon with his time serving as Donal
Updated: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 15:02:45 GMT
During a CNN town hall on Wednesday night, Mike Pence was asked to reckon with his time serving as Donald Trump's vice president.
Here's what he said: "Let me just say that it was a great honor for me to be a part of the Trump-Pence administration. ... But in the end, our administration did not end well."
Which is an interesting take!
What Pence is trying to do here is earn credit among Republicans for all of the time leading up to the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, but then sort of yada-yada away what happened that day and the days following it.
Which is impossible.
The events of January 6 color everything that came before them in the Trump administration. The countless lies, the weaponizing of grievance, the attempted use of government organs to settle personal vendettas -- all of it led up to that fateful day. Trump's actions (and Pence's inaction) created a toxic mixture that was unleashed.
What Pence is trying to do here is to carve out a spot for himself in the 2024 presidential race. He wants to run on the record of the Trump administration -- tax cuts, Supreme Court justices, etc. -- but distance himself from the president. He wants to offer Trumpism without Trump. The four years of what Trump did, minus what happened after the 2020 election.
Pence isn't the only one positioning himself that way. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has won praise among Republicans for offering many of the views of Trumpism -- particularly a resistance to so-called "woke" culture -- without the unpredictability of Trump. Mike Pompeo, who served as secretary of state during the Trump administration, seems to be positioning himself for a potential run on the muscular foreign policy trumpeted by, um, Trump, but without the tweets and the conspiracy theories.
The problem for Pence in this strategic distancing is that he was, quite literally, at Trump's side for the entirety of his term. Pence was often standing admiringly in the background while the then-president was signing a bill or giving a speech. Remember that in one Cabinet meeting in 2017, Pence praised Trump every 12 seconds for three minutes straight. That's hard to do!
In short: This is an "Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?" moment. Pence can't simply get credit for the good -- in the eyes of Republicans -- and be blameless for the bad. Yes, it's true that Pence resisted Trump's repeated pressure to ignore the electoral vote results. But it is also true that Pence stood silent as Trump repeatedly undermined norms that had governed the office of president for centuries.
You don't get to claim the positives of Trump without also owning the negatives. It's all part of the package -- unfortunately for Pence.

Amid intensifying shareholder pressure on companies to be more transparent about their political spending, Goldman Sachs has moved to prevent its shareholders from voting to force executives to disclose their efforts to influence politicians, according to corporate documents reviewed by International Business Times. The banking behemoth, which has been boosted by taxpayer-financed bailouts and has landed former executives in key government jobs, asked federal regulators to bless its attempt to block the initiative in a letter sent to the Securities and Exchange Commission — an agency now chaired by a former outside attorney for Goldman Sachs whose spouse also worked at the bank.
Goldman's request to the SEC comes in response to shareholders' proposed resolution to require the bank to release an annual report documenting the policies governing the company's lobbying, and disclosing all payments made by the company for direct and indirect lobbying of public officials.
Between 2010 and 2016, Goldman has spent more than $26 million on federal lobbying, on top of what it spent at the state level where "disclosure is uneven or absent," wrote the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), which represents more than 1,000 religious organizations and has spearheaded the resolution. The group also said the bank does not comprehensively disclose its memberships in and payments to powerful lobbying groups -- even as at least one of those groups has lobbied the National Economic Council headed by former Goldman president Gary Cohn.
On December 28, Goldman Managing Director Beverly O'Toole sent a letter to the SEC telling regulators that it planned to bar the resolution from appearing on its annual proxy statement -- a move that would prevent other Goldman shareholders from voting on the initiative. In asking the SEC to approve such a move, the bank argued that the company already discloses much of its lobbying. It also asserted that the initiative relates to lobbying expenditures that total less than 0.2 percent of the company's annual revenues -- or less than $15 million.
Citing an SEC rule governing what can and cannot be excluded from shareholder proxy statements, O'Toole concluded that "the small amount of expenditures, broadly defined, related to such (lobbying) activities underscores the lack of significance to the company when considered as compare to the standard" in the rule.
Goldman currently has policies in place that limit campaign contributions to an employee-funded Political Action Committee (PAC), according to a 2017 report on corporate political disclosures from the Center for Political Accountability and the Wharton School of Business. The report's authors also note that Goldman prohibited trade associations and 501(c)(4) nonprofits from using the company's payments on election spending. These rules, however, cover contributions to candidates and committees, not money spent on lobbying.
The resolution comes at a time when publicly traded Fortune 500 companies are under intensifying pressure to better disclose all of their political spending. More than 50 Fortune 250 companies have voted on shareholder resolutions regarding the disclosure of lobbying or political spending in 2017, although none have passed, according to Proxy Monitor, a group that tracks shareholder resolution votes. The SEC has also faced pressure to use its authority to require executives to tell shareholders about company spending on politics -- but the agency has argued that Congress has prevented it from acting.
The agency is currently lead by Jay Clayton, a Trump appointee who was previously a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell, which the New York Times said was Goldman Sachs' "go-to law firm for more than a century."
Earlier this year Republicans on Capitol Hill moved to make it more difficult for shareholders to file resolutions.
A provision in the House's wide-ranging Financial CHOICE Act, would change the eligibility requirements who could bring a shareholder resolutions to a vote. Under current law, a shareholder needs to control 1 percent of the company or own $2,000 worth of publicly traded stock to submit a resolution. But under the CHOICE Act, the $2,000 threshold would be eliminated, leaving just the 1 percent requirement. Under those proposed rules, Goldman Sachs shareholders would need to own nearly a billion dollars of the company to be eligible to bring a shareholder resolution. The legislation, which also would undue many of the regulations put in place by the 2010 Dodd-Frank legislative package, passed the House in June, but has not been voted on by the Senate.

Rocketown was established in 1994 by Michael W. Smith, the contemporary Christian music artist. The venue is a faith-based outreach center for youth, located in the core of downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The Rocketown staff and volunteers adopt a holistic approach to working with youth, and their services and programs aim to nurture the spirit, body, and mind. Rocketown engages youth with their attraction-based programs and facilities, such as their concert venues, live music, Sixth Avenue Skatepark, afterschool programs for creative arts and academic enrichment, and coffee and snack bar. Once youth have been engaged and are a part of the Rocketown scene, staff introduce them to programs such as the Family Dinner gatherings and the weekly Skate Church, which are more ministry-centered. The exciting and wholesome Rocketown environment is the ideal backdrop for the upcoming Animality concert!
About Animality
Since 2010, Nashville-based death metal act Animality have been paying their dues in the local hardcore game, playing gigs and composing gut-wrenching songs like there is no tomorrow. Animality create death metal that is as brutal as any old-school act, but they are ripping through the contemporary music scene with a fierce modern edge. The arrival of their album debut, Species, has earned a good number of enthusiastic reviews from acts such as Wretched and Enfold Darkness thanks to its unmatched brutality. Animality are all set to bring forth their sophomore album. They are an unstoppable beast of punishing force, and they are bringing the deadliest of death metal to Nashville and beyond. Animality consist of Alan Atkins and Brian Roberts, who both absolutely kill it on the guitar. James Blue holds up the heavy end with his bass, and Lucas McMillan slams down seemingly quantum hits on the drum kit. The band's newest member, Sam Schneider, spits manic vocal energy at the fore. These five death metal devotees bring a whole new kind of intensity to the world of metal. They are a part of countless soon-to-be-released efforts. As a whole, they are a kraken of ambition and doom who are set on taking the nation by storm.
Another sterling addition to Animality's upcoming show is The Human Condition. This group were formed late in 2011 – an event which signaled a new era in the Nashville metal scene. Rising from the ashes of the band Goodbye Apathy, an inexorable force was born, and it was called The Human Condition. Quickly and forcefully, they captured the ears, eyes, and black hearts of social network addicts and show-goers with their professional presentation and intelligent songwriting. They took the name "The Human Condition" in order to reference how every emotion, thought, and action is encompassed in this single driving force. The Human Condition is about the search for meaning. The band, true to their name, strive to instill this pursuit into each note and every lyric. They self-released their album debut, Death Blessings, in January of 2012. The record sparked their ascent from being well-respected hometown favorites to a regionally renowned live act as they left a lasting impression on every audience. In the summer of 2013, The Human Condition embarked on their very first full tour of North America. At the same time, this hard-working unit was preparing material to release as a sophomore full-length album. They hoped and dared to be originals amid the countless other aspiring metal acts – a challenge they were eager to face and determined to overcome. This challenge is one that The Human Condition have taken in stride, and they have their sights set on nothing less than becoming the future of metalcore in the United States. The Human Condition encapsulates the distinctive, inescapable, and powerful features of being alive. The term can be explained as the inherent aspect of humanity that is essential. It is not dependent on variables such as class, race, and gender. It points to such concerns as the inevitability of loneliness, the sense of curiosity, the urge for gratification, the meaning of life, and the anxiety that arises over the certainty of death. True Destroyer Clothing proudly endorses The Human Condition.
Rounding out the Rocketown billing are Thresholds, Play the Victim, and Glass Houses. Like Animality, Thresholds are based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are a hard-hitting and heavy progressive hardcore act with a metric tonne of potential. Stay tuned for their EP debut, Vendetta, on Amazon and iTunes. Play the Victim consist of vocalist Cannon Butcher, guitarist Chase Michael, guitarist Dave Lent, drummer Zane Schippers, and bassist Erik Georges. They are also based in Nashville, and they are dedicated to providing the best of metalcore. Glass Houses are another act not to miss.
Previous Hits
Animality have been given a warm endorsement from Chase York of Galactic Sound Federation. York was honored and privileged to see the gentlemen of Animality in concert a number of times, and he can honestly say that he enjoys their live show a little bit more each time he sees it. He praised their beautiful balance of brutal cut time drops with brilliant and flawlessly executed technicality. He would even go so far as to say that Animality create new kinds of atonal masterpieces. He likened the up-and-coming Nashville act to a modern day metal incarnation of Maurice Ravel.
Some of Animality's inspirations are The Faceless, Cannibal Corpse, Whitechapel, and The Black Dahlia Murder.
The Animality Concert Experience
Prepare yourself for one of the freshest death metal experiences in the local hardcore scene today. Animality deliver one of the most brutal, authentic, and inventive shows in Nashville, if not the entire Southern United States. With their perfect balance of technical prowess and charismatic showmanship, Animality bring a concert experience that you won't soon forget.

Databricks Adds $140 Million in Series D Funding to Accelerate Enterprise Analytics and AI
Databricks, founded by the team that created Apache Spark, has secured $140 million in a Series D funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz. The new funding brings Databricks' total capital raised to $247 million, and will accelerate the company's investment in making artificial intelligence (AI) achievable for enterprise organizations with its Unified Analytics Platform.
New Enterprise Associates, Battery Ventures, Future Fund Investment Co., A.Capital Partners, Geodesic Capital, and Green Bay Ventures also participated in this funding round.
According to Databricks, while many businesses are exploring how they can use AI for competitive advantage, very few are able to do so effectively today, since utilizing AI can be both complex and costly. With its Unified Analytics Platform, Databricks says it is helping to eliminate barriers to make data science and AI approachable for a broader audience.
Databricks plans to use this funding to increase product investment in its Unified Analytics Platform, which combines data science, data engineering and business; accelerate its global growth strategy; expand its markets through industry-specific solutions for industries such as healthcare & life sciences, financial services, government, and media & entertainment; and grow its engineering and customer success teams.

Artificial Intelligence Has a 1% Problem
There are plenty of pronouncements about artificial intelligence—both in terms of the miracles it can produce and the threat it poses to humanity. But according to Ali Ghodsi, co-founder and CEO of Databricks, there is actually a "1% problem" in that there are a handful of companies such as Google, Amazon, and a few others that are actually accomplishing their goals with it. AI has vast potential but some of the claims, as well as the fears, are overstated and a little premature right now, he contends.


When attorneys contract with appraisers to issue valuation opinions, there are 5 very important elements that the attorney must know and understand to ensure its proper and effective use. These may sound elementary, but I find that these elements are commonly misunderstood which can ultimately affect the transaction or the purpose of the appraisal.
The attorney, client, and appraiser need to have a clear understanding and agree on the actual subject of the appraisal.
Are we valuing a specific service? If so, is it clearly defined, detailed and documented?
Are we valuing a specific entity? If so, are we valuing the invested capital of a business or the net equity? Are we valuing a minority, fractional interest or one hundred percent?
Are we valuing medical equipment? What peripherals are included? Who delivers and installs?
Are we valuing an equipment lease rate? What is included? Do we have all the details?
Finally, the valuation date needs to be clearly understood among the parties. The purpose of the appraisal will have the most bearing on this element.
If the attorney, client, and appraiser all have a clear understanding of these five elements and assumptions, then this will reduce compliance risk and ensure the appraisal is being properly used.

In publishing news this week, we take a deep dive into the story of a first novel, Fishboy, to see how a debut novelist was being marketed and promoted by a big press circa 1994. The New York Times did a multi-part series on the book's launch, providing a step-by-step look at how author Mark Richard tried to sell the book, and himself, to the reading public.
We've also got video game news, font news (the birth of Comic Sans!), and for 90s Movie Club Mike is revisiting Reality Bites and wondering how Gen X was somehow erased from the public consciousness.


Snack and beverage company Mondelez Philippines asked the government to conduct more studies on the proposed tax rates on sugar-sweetened beverages.
"We are not against taxation. We want to pay our own share of tax. What we are against is the way the bill is drafted. We feel that the tax is premature in the sense that not enough discussion has happened," Mondelez Philippines country head Ashish Pisharodi said, referring to House Bill No. 5636 which was passed by the House of Representatives.
Mondelez, which produces powdered juice drink under the Tang brand, also called on the government to conduct a study that would provide data supporting its claim that sugar was a cause of obesity among Filipinos.
Pisharodi said the bill, which would impose an extra P10 or P20 per liter tax on all SSBs on top of all other existing taxes such as VAT, would make the cost of SSBs beyond the reach of consumers in the D and E income segments.
Mondelez head for corporate and government affairs Shanahan Chua said the bill would impose P10-per-liter tax on beverages using local sugar and P20 per liter on imported juices, ready-to-drink beverages and softdrinks.
Chan said this would mean that a sachet of Tang juice costing about P9 to P10 per pack to produce a liter of juice would cost P30 per sachet under the proposed measure.
"This will be awful for us since we import our Tang products from Thailand. It will affect sales and market share in as much as all SSB manufacturers will suffer the same as us," Chua said.
He said the Beverage Industry Association of the Philippines, which Mondelez is a member of, was talking the Senate committee on ways and means to allow taxation on SBBs be based on sugar content, instead of volume.
"We urge to government to take a step back and continue the dialog with us. But if they're looking at imposing the tax on their own timeline, I think the Senate position is a better alternative" he said.


The city served as the ruling center of the Ganja Beylerbey under the Safavids in the 1700s and the capital of the short-lived Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1918. Ganja handed the baton over to Baku in the 20th century, however, given the importance of the oil industry. The city, which is divided by the River Ganja, was called Elizavetpol under the Russian Empire and Kirovabad during the Soviet period.
The city center is 8 km from Ganja Airport and cannot be reached by public transport.
No taxi companies operate from the airport to the city center. However, you can bargain with the unofficial taxi drivers at the airport and get to the city center for around AZN 5-7 (manats).


In short, there's a lot going on. From an international perspective, a lot of what's happened is down to the reversal in the strength of the US dollar resulting from a U-turn in Federal Reserve interest rate policy. This was borne of an overly hawkish Fed outlook not shared by the bond markets. Something had to give one way or another. The turn in the dollar immediately alleviated the pressure on US dollar indebted emerging and Asian markets, which had struggled last year, but shifted the problem to Europe and Japan, both of whom seek a weaker currency to stimulate their economies. This feels like a currency war, albeit a cold one. We haven't really seen the central banks gloves come off yet. But there are straws in the wind warning us that negative interest rates and QE have further to go. The UK is, of course, in the same boat as everyone else except with the additional uncertainty of the Brexit debate which has seen Sterling weaken this year as the polling drew closer to 50/50. From a Sterling perspective, the US dollar has strengthened which is great for a lot of the FTSE100 but hampers the domestic economy where things could and should be a lot brighter than they are. The picture is one of economics mixed up with politics and unpredictable central bank policy which made the first quarter a difficult, almost impossible, one to invest and position for.
As President Obama got up to poke a finger in the eye of the Brexit campaign last weekend, the word was that he was going to utter only a few well chosen words to help convince undecided Brits that they would all be better off staying "In" when they vote in the EU referendum on 23rd June. As it was he spoke for over 10 minutes and appeared to do a proper job for Project Fear. His use of the phrase "back of the queue" instead of the American word "line" with reference to a future trade pact was a nice one for the conspiracy theorists seeing the hand of Prime Minister Cameron in the writing of the speech. We have no reason to doubt his sincerity but whether or not this was true, it appeared to have the desired effect for David Cameron by turning the tide of opinion with polls and bookmakers showing a swing back towards the UK remaining in the EU.
When the currency markets opened on Monday, the "Obama bounce" lifted Sterling from $1.43 against the US dollar and by day three was well on its way to $1.46 with similar gains against the Euro. This in turn had a profound effect on the FTSE 100 Index containing as it does a number of companies who make their profits abroad and, therefore, in foreign currencies. Indeed, 70% of the FTSE100 constituent profits are in US dollars alone and so, rather predictably, shares in those companies were sold heavily. Mining, which was recovering on the back of China not looking quite as bad as originally feared, got hit. Oil stocks would normally have been taken to the woodshed along with mining but, despite a comical OPEC meeting where nothing was agreed let alone production cuts, the oil price just seems to want to go higher now that everyone is waking up to what oil rig closures mean in the longer term.
This is one reason the FTSE100 has beaten the FTSE250 index of mid-sized companies but the sustained outperformance from mid-February is also indicative of the way stock markets incline more towards big caps during periods of volatility and uncertainty. With so much hinging on Brexit or central bank policy, and with the behind the doors decision making it difficult to analyse, we expect uncertainty to linger a while yet because the situation in less of an investment decision than it is a gamble. So while we are asking whether there is something more fundamental going on to explain the shift from mid to large cap, the case for selling out of mid-caps has not been made, in our view. We believe the merits of staying invested in stock picking investments in equities are sufficient to retain long term successful investments but will, as we have before, made shorter term opportunistic investments, where appropriate, in large caps where the short term flows are more evident.
With so much going on in global stock and bond markets this year and, from an investment perspective, you would think it would've been quite easy to be on the wrong side of Obama's utterances and the effect it had on Sterling, shares and bonds. But we find that thanks to the strategies that we invest in, very few fund managers owned many shares in those sectors that fell hard.
The reason is that it's been a tough quarter for a majority of fund managers running what, to their minds, are perfectly sensible investment strategies with portfolios of shares in well-researched, well-run companies with sustainable profit growth. By and large, this approach has not included shares in companies exposed to emerging markets, oil and mining. Emerging markets are typically saddled with US dollar debt and so struggle to finance it when the US dollar is strong. The collapse in the price of oil did it for shares in the energy sector worldwide and mining has been out of favour owing to the slowdown in demand from China.
All of this changed when the Federal Reserve did a U-turn on their 2016 outlook for interest rates, abandoning their objective of four hikes throughout 2016. In a way, considering stock markets ended 2015 in fine fettle, further hikes seemed reasonable given the US economic data was all broadly pointing in the right direction. Even the side issue of a lack of inflation could be conveniently dismissed as a result of falling oil prices. But the Fed's four hikes forecast seemed more than a bit punchy and the bond markets didn't bite. At best they priced for two hikes and, at times, nothing at all until 2017, which was a brave call. After all, they do say "Don't fight the Fed". However, this battle was won by markets and as the Fed retreated from the notion of a return to normality via a nicely scripted series of well-flagged interest rate hikes, the US dollar fell. The reversal of the US dollar also coincided with signs of a turn in the slowing Chinese economy. Emerging markets also stormed back at the expense of Europe and Japan where markets were waiting patiently for their central banks to ease further. Such are the far reaching effects of a change in Fed policy. And so January in particular was a bad month for anyone invested with a cautiously optimistic portfolio having taken the central banks broadly at their word yet still cognisant of the risks of investing in risky markets.
The chances of the UK leaving the EU have faded in just a few days and the partisan points scoring carries on in what is proving to be a rather unelevated debate full of sneering, smears and half-truths. It's well within the capability of some members of the Brexit debate to conjure up an articulate and compelling reason why the UK would be better off going it alone. But one gets the feeling that they lack the firepower and media presence to overcome the Government's position and their basic assertion one's personal finances would be worse off out of Europe because the word "uncertainty" is repeated continually in a way that conflates the word with job prospects. Why put one's job on the line in the name of democracy and sovereignty, or any number of the bigger issues, when the status quo, with all of its faults is at least known. The silent masses may come out far stronger than polls suggest, as they did for the Scottish referendum and the general election (it's amazing the same polls are still worthy of newsprint) but if this week's move in the FTSE and Sterling is telling us anything, it looks like the UK will vote for nurse for fear of something worse.
There are several factors influencing inflation, or the lack of it, and the fall in the price of oil is again the culprit partly to blame. Leaving aside whether cheaper petrol represents inflation of a good kind or bad, the headline figures do influence bonds and we had expected inflation figures to start picking up in the US and UK thanks to the mathematical base effect of the big fall in 2014 falling out of the year-on-year figures. However, the second lurch down from October last year put paid to that and we will have to wait a while to get this free boost to the headline figures even if oil prices continue to rise at the pace they have been over the last few weeks. Regarding UK, we believe a vote to stay in the EU would, amongst other things, strengthen Sterling, limit inflation from imported goods and give the Bank of England enough elbow room to raise rates by 0.25% at year end. In the US, a June hike is now on the table and one suspects that it has to be June or nothing because a September hike would be perilously close to the US Presidential election.
During periods of relative calm, the fortunes of oil have in the past been largely influenced by fluctuations in the US dollar. This makes sense because, apart from the occasional geopolitical effort to price in Euros, it is priced in US dollars the world over. The health of the global economy also has an effect on demand. But the biggest shock to markets was the collapse in oil prices since the summer of 2014 resulting from excess capacity and over supply. Although most developed countries strip out oil from their core inflation figures, it's not hard to imagine how a 75% drop in the price of oil to below $27 a barrel can ultimately lead to lower goods prices. Of course, this does wonderful things for the cash in the consumer's pocket and you would think the markets would see that as a good thing for consumption and the economy as a whole. However, economists largely brushed this notion aside and the greater concern of falling oil being a bad omen for global demand prevailed instead. As oil sank below $30, some of the City's most respected institutions, who shall remain nameless, threw in the towel forecasting $20 oil by year end. Of course, this didn't happen and we are now looking at $47 and daily increases. Our energy purchase in more adventurous portfolios has risen significantly and other TAM portfolios participate through the rise in FTSE ETFs whose performance is driven indirectly through the large exposure to oil and gas. Again, a bit like the financial, mining and retail sectors, the oil sector is one area of the market where the problems, whilst legion, are at least well understood and one doesn't have to believe that oil will return to $100 a barrel for shares in the sector, some of which were undeniably priced for failure, to stage a major rally. But it has been a volatile round trip and the fact that the price action in oil went against the direction of other economic indicators, confounded economists and traders alike.
When the Federal Reserve finally hiked rates at the end of 2015, it was tempting to believe that the merry dance between the central bank and the markets and the whole will-they-won't-they had come to an end and we could all get back to the business of investment rather than speculation. Unfortunately, whilst the Fed wrote a script, the main actors didn't follow it and the U-turn, when it came, was both confusing and annoying not just for markets but for the central banks in Europe and Japan who, it seems, were relying on a stronger US dollar to give them a chance to stimulate their own economies with currency weakness.
In amongst all of this were the usual list of dreads like China, Middle East, South America, Grexit, oil and other commodities plus a raft of new ones in the shape of the US election and Brexit. Any market be it stocks, bonds, property and currencies are driven by fundamentals that can be reasonably forecast. Other factors, like close referendums, elections and central bank policy are prone to the relative unpredictability of human decision making and overall sentiment which can at times remain irrational longer than rational investors can stay with losing trades.
For this reason, we believe it is important to run well diversified portfolios across asset classes in shares, bonds cash and property as well as specific strategies that aim to achieve modest returns with minimal risk. In our strategic deliberations our emphasis today is on avoiding investing in areas which appear calm but have the capacity for significant loss and where the outcome is almost impossible to predict.
In doing so we aim to continue to deliver steady investment returns but by taking less risk than the markets and so avoid a financial and emotional roller coaster of volatile returns.

A good friend is a person whom you can rely on to be there in your time of need. A good friend listens to your problems and cares about what you are going through. They have a sort of sympathetic understanding for your troubles, and joy when the Lord blesses you with good things! A good friend prays for you. A good friend feels your burdens, and offers help when possible. A good friend will also check in with you sometimes to see how you are doing. A good friend truly cares for you. They rejoice with you when you rejoice, and weep with you when you weep (Romans 12:15). A good friend encourages you in the Lord, and reminds you of God's goodness.
Some times, the Lord places such wonderful friends such as these in our lives. Thank Him when He does! And also, be a good friend back.
Are you a good friend to other Christian women the Lord has placed in your life? Do you offer kind words and encouragement? Do you pray for the Christian women you know? Do you help when it is possible for you to do so? We should be a good friend to others when we can.
Are we good friends to our children? Do we smile at them and speak to them kindly? Of course, we are the authority, but that does not mean we are not also there to listen to our children to hear what they are going through. Especially as our children grow older, we need to be good friends to them (while still maintaining rules in the home). When I say we should be good friends to our children, I mean we give them love and support, and a listening ear, when it is appropriate (not when little children are trying to get out of their chores) *smiles*.
Lastly (but not least), are we good friends to our husbands? Are we supportive and encouraging to them? Do we truly seek to help them by being wonderful homemakers and wives, and mothers to their children? Do we have sympathetic understanding for what they face every day in the working world, and the pressures they battle? Are we their biggest fans and support? A good man is capable of much more when he has his loving wife cheering him on.
I hope we can show love and kindness to those around us, as we remember all that our Lord and Saviour has done for us.

Rachel Geman in Law360 About Ways New House Age Bias Bill May Change Workplace Discrimination Cases
Published On: June 28th, 2021Categories: Employment Law, Firm News
Since the Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act cleared the House in January 2021, Law360 (subscription) has published a feature including commentary from some of the nation's top employment attorneys on how the bill could significantly change the way workplace discrimination cases are handled. If enacted, the bill would amend civil rights laws to treat age-related employment claims the same as complaints related to race, gender and other categories protected by separate statutes, and would impose a much lighter standard of proof on employees.
"Causation standards sound highly technical, but are important in practice — especially in the real world context of employment relationships," said Lieff Cabraser partner Rachel Geman, who specializes in employment law.
"The development (driven by a series of judicial decisions) of different causation standards under different anti-discrimination law runs the risk of confusion in the courts," noted Geman. "The legislature has rightly stepped in."

Mississippi Republicans say they'll vote for Cindy Hyde-Smith, albeit reluctantly
By Kathryn Watson
November 27, 2018 / 11:41 AM / CBS News
Trump rallies in Mississippi
Trump holds 2 rallies in Mississippi for GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith 02:06
GULFPORT, MISS—Republicans in Mississippi may not be in love with Cindy Hyde-Smith, who was appointed to the Senate earlier this year after longtime Sen. Thad Cochran retired due to health issues.
But many say they're voting for her anyway in Tuesday's runoff election, which is happening because neither candidate got 50 percent of the vote on November 6th. And the simplest, most common reason why they support her? "She's a Republican, I guess," said Jerry Smith, a grandfather and longtime Mississippi resident.
Like a lot of Mississippi Republicans, Smith seems willing to forgive the senator for some of the eyebrow-raising remarks she's made in recent weeks. "I think it's been overblown," Smith said over a simmering plate of Chinese food at the Edgewater Mall in Biloxi,. "But I ask myself sometimes, which are the two of the least evil — which of the two are the least evil. I'm voting for Smith. I just think she's the less of the two evils."
The race between Hyde-Smith, who is hoping to keep the seat away from Democrat Mike Espy, has garnered plenty of national attention. Hyde-Smith remarked that she would go to a "public hanging," a comment she said was made in jest and eventually apologized for. Democrats said the remark had racial overtones and harkened back to a darker chapter in Mississippi history, especially since Espy would be the state's first African-American senator since Reconstruction.
Republicans here describe the comments in softer terms. And they also object to the negative ads inundating their television screens weeks after most of the country's midterm races were decided.
Mississippi special election between Cindy Hyde-Smith and Mike Espy: What to know
"I'll vote for Mrs. Smith you know, because being a Republican," said Betty Lechman, a Biloxi-area resident of five decades, at the Edgewater Mall food court table where she and her friends meet every day of the week except Sundays, which are reserved for church.
"But like I said, neither one of them, I wish I had somebody else to vote for. But it's not going to happen," Lechman added. "All the mud-slinging. I don't like mud-slinging and both of them are doing that."
Her friend, Marion Cranmer, also a retired longtime Mississippi resident, agreed.
"There's been too much mud-slinging," Cranmer said, frustrated. "You just wonder sometimes what you hear about her whether some of it's not true. But, it just kind of puts you on the fence. I don't like either one of them."
As of Monday, Cranmer wasn't sure if she'd be voting. But, "if you don't vote for her, it's a vote for him," she added.
Republicans tend to think Hyde-Smith didn't mean what she said and reject the idea that the comment had racial overtones. "I don't think she should have said what she said about the hanging" — but she didn't mean to say it, and it's been misconstrued, Smith added.
Hyde-Smith is favored to win in a state that voted for Mr. Trump over her by 18 points. Mr. Trump held a festive, Christmas-themed rally for Hyde-Smith in Biloxi Monday night, and a rally earlier that day for her in Tupelo, 300 miles to the north.
"If you let Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer win the Mississippi Senate seat, they will try to erase all of our gains, reverse all of our progress and impose -- you know this -- they want to impose their extreme job-killing agenda. And I just set — you just set — your all time record in Mississippi for jobs," Mr. Trump told his supporters Monday night.
But Republicans CBS News spoke with were much more likely to be there to support the president than Hyde-Smith, although some acknowledged that her winning will help his agenda. With Democrats taking back the House in January, national Republicans have argued that it's crucial to expand the GOP's Senate majority.
While Mississippi is a solidly Republican state, special elections are notoriously hard to predict as they tend to have low turnout. And sure enough, Tuesday's runoff election isn't on everyone's radar here.
"There's an election tomorrow?" one student at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College said.
Students at the college had seen some of the attack ads against Hyde-Smith — but they couldn't say much about what Espy, a Secretary of Agriculture under President Clinton, stands for.
"I've never really hard anything about Mike Espy," said 19-year-old Marjorie Lam, a biology student at the community college.
"I've never heard a negative ad, I've never heard a positive ad," she said of him.
Dianne Swennumson and her husband have supported Republicans in the past but say they're appalled by Mr. Trump's rhetoric and behavior. Swennumson was always planning to vote for Espy, but felt more certain about her decision after Hyde-Smith's "public hanging" comment.
"So insensitive. So insensitive," she said at a McDonald's in Biloxi. "Up until that point I thought well maybe — maybe I could at least be accepting. I was going to vote for Mike Espy anyway."
"I grew up here in Jim Crow era…I experienced Jim Crow which you just wouldn't believe," she added.
She isn't optimistic about Espy's chances, but she's voting for him.
"I think he has a chance but I think this is Mississippi," Swennumson said. "I wish we could be like Alabama who had enough with Roy Moore, you know. I really didn't think that was going to happen but it did, and it could be."
"I'll be totally shocked if Espy wins," she added.

For a recent event I hosted, we made white and gold streamer chandeliers from hula hoops. They were hung over our craft booth, and everyone loved them! The great thing about this hula hoop chandelier is that you can use different materials like long, thin pieces of patterned fabric, or even lace, to achieve so many looks.
In addition, instead of using a hula hoop, you can use a smaller circular object to make a nursery mobile.
Step 1: The hula hoop that we found was super colorful! In order to cover it up, we wrapped the hoop in white duct tape.
Step 2: Cut large pieces from your roll of streamers. You can make them however long you would like—ours were about six feet. In order to cover the entire hula hoop, depending on size, it takes quite a lot of strips. We recommend taking some time at the start to just cut all of your pieces before tying them on.
Step 3: Place the top of your piece of streamer under the hula hoop.
Step 4: You are then going to tie the streamer onto the hoop like you are tying your shoelaces. However, you can stop after the first cross-under and pulling-tight.
Step 5: Continue tying your streamers on until your hoop is entirely covered. To spice it up, you may also add gold thin streamers like we did!
You're done! As you can see in the left image, this is how we used our chandeliers. We are so happy with how they turned out.

House select committee begins taking over January 6 investigation from other committee
That includes interviews with key figures related to that day that were already scheduled to meet with other committees but were postponed.
"The Select Committee will, as part of its ongoing comprehensive investigation mandated by House Resolution 503, conduct interviews related to January 6th and the events leading up to it. The Committee will announce additional actions and scheduling details at the appropriate time," an aide to the select committee told CNN on background.
The move is not uncommon. Newly formed House select committees set up for a specific purpose often consolidate the work of established committees. A similar situation occurred during the Benghazi probe and in the investigation into former President Donald Trump's tax returns.
According to multiple sources familiar with the process, all House committees are deferring to and sharing info with the new select committee on matters related to January 6.
One source with direct knowledge of the decision confirmed that among the interviews postponed in other committees were a series of meetings with former members of the Trump Justice Department scheduled to appear before the House Oversight Committee. Politico was the first to report of the decision for Oversight to hand the interviews off to the Select Committee. Among those coming for scheduled for interviews this week were former Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and his former deputy Richard Donoghue, CNN reported previously.
The decision came abruptly, just a day after Oversight conducted an interview with another Justice official, Patrick Hovakimian. Hovakimian had written a draft resignation letter accusing the former president of using the Justice Department to advance election fraud claims, which he intended to release if Trump fired the attorney general.
In a statement to CNN, the House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat from New York, did not specifically confirm the decision to hand off her committee's work to the select committee, but vowed to support the panel as they continue their efforts to get to the truth of what happened on that day.
"The Oversight Committee's groundbreaking investigation revealed alarming new evidence that former President Trump instructed top leaders of the Justice Department to help him illegally overturn the 2020 election by advancing false claims of voter fraud — just days before he incited a deadly insurrection at the Capitol. Despite knowing that DOJ had found no evidence of any widespread fraud, President Trump demanded that DOJ declare the election corrupt," she wrote. "As the Oversight Committee continues its crucial oversight work, we look forward to the Select Committee fully exposing the former president's unconstitutional attacks on our democracy and attempts to stay in power after the American people voted him out of office."
In a statement Thursday morning, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised Maloney and her committee's work, a sign that their efforts were completed.
"The Chairwoman's persistent pursuit of the truth will contribute greatly to the work of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol," Pelosi said.
CNN's Manu Raju and Evan Perez contributed to this report.

According to Bowlby, "Mother Love in Infancy Is Just as Important for a Child's Mental Health, as Vitamins and Minerals Are for Physical Health" Discuss This Quotation in Relation to Relevant Attachment Research and Theory.
According to Bowlby, "Mother love in infancy is just as important for a child's mental health, as vitamins and minerals are for physical health" Discuss this quotation in relation to relevant attachment research and theory. Contained within the above topic that our discussion will address, is a quote from psychologist Dr John Bowlby. It originally appeared in a World Health Organization (WBA) commissioned report that was written by Bowlby in 1951. Bowlby also had his findings published in paperback form, which was titled 'Maternal Care and Mental Health'. In which he offered his hypothesis on attachment and its importance between mother and child. In the following chapters we will explore what exactly he is stating, what is mother love? When he talks about its importance on a 'child's mental health', what assertions is he making and do others agree with him, do they accept his techniques and hypothesis? Bowlby's report was controversial but it influenced changes within health care, social work and in parenting. His report was influenced by Lorenz's (1935) ethological studies of imprinting and his subsequent theory that attachment was innate. He also considered the findings of R, A, Spitz (1945) who found that bereaved children who lost a parent suffered from deep depression and slow development. He added some studies of his own the most prominent being his study on juvenile delinquency. He studied two groups of disturbed teenagers. One group consisted of forty-four juveniles who were guilty of past theft and another group of forty-four who were not. Bowlby researched their family history and discovered that seventeen of the group guilty of theft experienced a period of separation from their mothers in their infancy. Only two of the remaining group experienced the same separation. Bowlby therefore deduced that mother and child separation in infancy could result

44 Thieves Study
N.b. controls: individuals referred to clinic because of emotional problems, but not yet committed any crimes. He interviewed the parents from both groups to state whether their children had experienced separation during the critical period and for how long. [pic]Findings: More than half of the juvenile thieves had been separated from their mothers for longer than six months during their first five years. In the control group only two had had such a separation.
Compare and Contrast the Work of Harry Harlow and Mary Ainsworth on Understanding Attachment.
His findings into attachment radically challenged the prevalent behaviourist theory of Watson of learned infant attachment in response to constant stimuli and the psychoanalytical theory of Freud that attachment was based on biological needs or 'cupboard love' theories as unreliable. (Custance, 2010). Within this essay I will attempt to describe both Harlow's and Ainsworth research methods and compare and contrast their findings and criticisms. Harry Harlow's work on attachment focused on the bond between infant and mother. Harlow wanted to investigate whether attachment was based on the 'cupboard love' theory of Freud and Watson or on Bowlby's suggestion that attachment was an innate tendency in response to warmth and tactility.
How Has Bowlby's Formulation of Attachment Theory Been Modified in the Light of Subsequent Research?
According to Bowlby (1973) a strong emotional bond between the mother figure and the infant called attachment has the biological origin. He hypothesised that for the baby to survive, it has to for an attachment, it needs to have a secure base, from which it can explore the environment and in times of danger or distress, a base it can return to for comfort and security. Bowlby argued that lack of such a secure base leads to infant developing an extreme distress called by developmental psychologists a 'separation anxiety'. The research by Robertson and Robertson (1989) into parent-child separations when either a primary caregiver or a child becomes hospitalized validates Bowlby's reasoning. This idea of attachment as innate adaptation mechanism is also supported by Harlow's (1958) research on primates into maternal deprivation.
Effect of Divorce on Children
Regardless of age, the emotional impact of children will differ between boys and girls. The manner in which Boys act their emotional pain is visible through external actions while girls tend to internalize their emotional distress. In a study involving 60 families several common emotional issues that children encountered were identified: fear, confusion, sadness, worry, feeling rejected, loneliness, divided loyalties, anger, and acute depression. The Journal of Marriage and Family published an article in 2010 that analyzed the connection between divorce and the performance of children in school while taking the impact of psychosocial wellbeing into consideration. Based on the results of the study a direct correlation between children from divorced homes and lower test scores can be seen, when compared to families without divorce.
Sensitive Parenting Essay
Sensitive parenting is the most important factor in a child's psychological development – discuss This essay will explore the concept of sensitive parenting and will look at how the dynamic interactions between parent and child inform Attachment Theory a model which measures child development. This model, pioneered by Bowlby is posited within the principles of a psychoanalytic and biological perspective (Bee, H.L., 2000). Child attachment can be classified into two main types, secure and insecure, by using a standard laboratory assessment known as the "Strange Situation" developed by Ainsworth, insecure attachment was divided further into sub groups, ambivalent and avoidant (Ding, S. & Littleton, K. 2005). Whilst discussing attachment theory which utilises the concept of an internal working model other approaches in terms of understanding how parenting affects child development will be explored. Theoretical positions such as social learning theory which lies heavily on behaviourist principles will be looked at, parenting styles where patterns of parenting will be discussed and inter-generational transmission which serves to perpetuate society's inequalities and disadvantages with negative connotations for a child's psychological development (Ding, S. & Littleton, K. 2005).
Essay On Runaway Youth
Hundred and forty youth completed the interview and it showed that they have mental health problems like; conduct disorder, depression, fulfillment of the DSM-III criteria for and emotional and behavioral disorder and attempt of suicide (Feitel, Margetson, Chamas, Lipman, 1992). A study was conducted between adolescent runaways and adolescents who never ran away. A self administered questionnaire which was confidential was used. The runaways who were administered in this study indicated that situational stresses affected them through which their functioning was impaired. These stresses included relation with family, schools, etc.
Effects Of Foster Care
Foster care is meant to be a temporary arrangement, though children stay in care for an average of two years, and there are currently over five hundred thousand children in care. "Roughly sixty percent of foster children return home; fifteen percent are adopted; and the remainder "age out" of foster care("Breaking")." Three-quarters of these children live with substitute families, one-third of which are headed by relatives of the children. Further, foster care policy directly targets children who appear to be at high risk of poor life outcomes. Abused children are three times more likely to die in childhood, with fourteen hundred child deaths each year directly attributed to child abuse. One doctor notes, "Those placed in foster care are far more likely than are other children to commit crimes, drop out of school, join welfare, experience substance abuse problems, or enter the homeless population("National")." In particular, nearly 20 percent of young prison inmates and 28 percent of homeless individuals spent some time in foster care as a youth.
Single Parents with Young Children
The Office of National Statistics, interviewed parents, teachers, and children themselves, and found that many suffer from emotional problems such as depression, anxiety and aggression. Statistics show that over a 3 year period, children whose parents were split up were 4.53 more likely to develop emotional problems than those whose parents were still in one household, and were 2.87 times more likely to demonstrate the start of behavioral disorders. Edmondson, Brad/Waldrop, Judith "Single Parents Statistics" American Demographics, Dec93, Vol. 15 Issue 12, p36, 2p, 2 Charts, 1 Graph. Per the US Census Bureau single parents consist of "other families" which are households of unmarried couples.
Sensitive Mothering Is Essential to the Social and Emotional Development of the Child. Discuss This Statement in Context of Relevant Developmental Theory.
Discuss this statement in context of relevant developmental theory. | The aim of this paper is to examine the importance of 'sensitive mothering'(Ainsworth in Smith, Cowie & Blades, 2003) in the social and emotional development of children. Developmental theories, such as Bowlby's attachment theory (Bowlby, 1988), Ainsworth's research, Erik Erikson's psychological stages of personality (and other relevant research will be discussed to create an understanding of how the bond between mother/primary caregiver and child is essential for a healthy mental and social development. Furthermore, research that considers how early attachment impacts on the social and emotional development of 3-5 year olds and adults will be determined. Mary Ainsworth and other intellects investigated the process of mothering and how it affects the child's attachment towards the mother/caregiver.

ROUGHGUIDES.COM / EUROPE / CROATIA / ISTRIA / ROVINJ
Delicately poised between medieval port and upmarket tourist resort, Rovinj (Rovigno) has managed to preserve its character better than anywhere else along the Istrian coast. Spacious Venetian-style houses and elegant piazzas lend an Italian air to the town, while the harbour is a likeable mix of fishing boats and swanky yachts. Rovinj is also the most Italian town on this coast: there's an Italian high school, the language is widely spoken, and street signs are bilingual.
Great places to visit in this region of Croatia
place Istria place Pula
Rovinj's urban core is situated on what was formerly an island. The strait separating it from the coast was filled in during the mid-eighteenth century, after which the town expanded onto the mainland, until then the site of a separate settlement of Croat farmers. Initially, the urban Italian culture of Rovigno assimilated that of the mainland Slavs, until industrial development in the late nineteenth century encouraged a wave of economic migrants, tipping the demographic scales in the Croats' favour. Playing a leading role in this was the Rovinj tobacco factory, founded in 1872 – the firm still produces the bulk of Croatia's cigarettes, although production was moved inland to Kanfanar in 2007.
Rovinj's other claim to fame is the artists who have gravitated here since the 1950s and whose studios fill the streets of the Old Town. On the second Sunday of August the main street, Grisia, is taken over by an open-air display in which anyone can take part, providing they register their works at the town museum on the morning of the show.
Rovinj festivals
Key annual events include the Avantgarde Jazz Festival, a season of international jazz concerts that takes place in spaces throughout the town from late May to late July; and Rovinj Photo Days, Croatia's biggest photography event featuring exhibitions and workshops in June.
