Gobierno de Jalisco

Precandidaturas

Partido Acción Nacional
En el Partido Acción Nacional la dirigencia nacional busca un perfil ciudadano, También se mencionan como posibles candidatos a Miguel Ángel Monraz, coordinador parlamentario del partido en el Congreso de Jalisco, y al senador José María Martínez Martínez.

Partido Revolucionario Institucional
En el Partido Revolucionario Institucional se menciona la posibilidad de postular al Senador y secretario nacional de la Confederación Nacional de Organizaciones Populares, Arturo Zamora Jiménez, como candidato para la gobernatura, quien repetiría nominación, pues fue el abanderado priísta en 2006. Héctor Pizano, actual presidente del PRI en Jalisco y exsecretario de trabajo del estado aceptó que busca la nominación. El fiscal general del Estado de Jalisco, Eduardo Almaguer, también se postuló como un interesado en competir por la candidatura. Se ha llegado a mencionar al secretario de Desarrollo Social del Estado, Miguel Castro Reynoso como posible contendiente, sin embargo, el político descartó la opción para contender por la Alcaldía de Guadalajara. Algunos medios también han mencionado con posibilidades a Francisco Ayón, secretario de Educación de Jalisco, el funcionario solicitó licencia al cargo en noviembre y abrió la posibilidad de contender por la candidatura. Además, se menciona Roberto López Lara, secretario de Gobierno. En octubre de 2017, se comenzó a especular con la candidatura del empresario Jorge Vergara luego de sostener una reunión con Enrique Peña Nieto.

Movimiento Ciudadano
El partido Movimiento Ciudadano es el que cuenta con un precandidato más claro, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, Presidente Municipal de Guadalajara, quien ya contendió por ese partido en las elecciones de 2012, donde fue derrotado por una diferencia de cuatro puntos porcentuales. El alcalde parte como favorito en algunas encuestas a la gobernatura. Por lo que ya es visto como el virtual candidato del partido. Incluso, el líder nacional del partido, Dante Delgado Rannauro, ya había confirmado las intenciones de postular a Alfaro como candidato a gobernador. Como una opción alternativa en caso de cualquier contingencia se mencionó a Pablo Lemus Navarro, alcalde de Zapopan.

Movimiento Regeneración Nacional
En un principio se habló sobre la posibilidad de entablar una alianza con el partido Movimiento Ciudadano aprovechando el arrastre popular que tiene la figura de Enrique Alfaro, sin embargo el posible acercamiento se frustró tras la salida de algunos miembros de MC rumbo a Morena. Tras la decisión de competir por separado, la primera opción del partido fue el diputado Carlos Lomelí Bolaños, quien abandonó la formación emecista para pasarse al proyecto encabezado por Andrés Manuel López Obrador. El 4 de octubre, fue nombrado como coordinador de organización territorial del partido en el estado, por lo que pasó a ser considerado como la opción más viable para encabezar la propuesta morenista de cara a la gobernatura estatal.

En junio de 2017 se informó que el empresario local, Enrique Michel Velasco, propietario de una fábrica de dulces, se incorporó al partido para apoyarlo en el proyecto del año 2018, tras esta decisión su nombre comenzó a sonar como posible candidato del partido, gracias a su reconocimiento entre la población, debido a que el partido comienza de cero en el estado. Sin embargo, el 22 de septiembre, el propio Michel anunció su declinación a representar al partido en las elecciones.

Para la formación morenista también se postuló Antonio Pérez Garibay, padre del piloto Sergio Pérez y candidato a la Alcaldía de Guadalajara en 2015 por Nueva Alianza. Salvador Cosío Gaona, líder de una asociación política llamada 'Confío en México' también mostró interés en contender por el puesto, sin embargo se retiró para tratar de contender de manera independiente.

Partido de la Revolución Democrática
El 8 de octubre, el PRD Jalisco anunció que preferentemente buscará contender por cuenta propia en las elecciones estales por lo que inició su proceso interno de selección de candidatos. Sin embargo, el llamado Sol Azteca, busca que el Frente Ciudadano por México se replique en el estado pese a la oposición de los otros integrantes a entablar una alianza local.

Otros partidos
El resto de partidos políticos no han hecho visible alguna opción para presentar alguna precandidatura. El único nombre que suena como posible es el de Enrique Ibarra Pedroza, quien fue candidato por la coalición PRD-PT en las elecciones estatales de 2006.

No se debe descartar la repetición parcial de las alianzas ya establecidas en las elecciones federales, en concreto una candidatura común entre el PAN y el PRD, debido a que la formación panista rechaza ir en coalición con Movimiento Ciudadano. En noviembre, Enrique Alfaro rechazó encabezar una candidatura de los tres partidos.

Existe la posibilidad de una extensión de la alianza ya concretada a nivel federal entre el Partido del Trabajo y Morena, para que sea replicada en las elecciones locales de Jalisco.

Por otro lado, los partidos Verde Ecologista y Nueva Alianza no irán con el PRI en esta elección.

Candidaturas Independientes
El 18 de noviembre, el cantante Vicente Fernández Jr., hijo del artista del mismo nombre, dio a conocer sus intenciones para contender por la gobernatura al presentar su registro como precandidato ante el IEPC. El día 19, Salvador Cosío Gaona hizo lo propio luego de haber intentado obtener la nominación en Morena y el PRD sin tener éxito. Otros dos ciudadanos presentaron su inscripción como aspirante a la candidatura independiente para el gobierno de Jalisco, dejando en cuatro la cifra de interesados.

Microsoft is making some big moves to corner the lucrative police camera cloud storage industry. Today, the company announced a partnership with their chief rival in the space, Taser, to create new cloud services for law enforcement The new cloud services are mainly designed for creating an integrated system for retrieving and viewing police body camera footage and other evidence online.
Up until now, Microsoft and Taser were rivals trying to attract police departments and other law enforcement agencies to each other's respective platforms. Microsoft already has partnerships with video camera manufacturers Vievu and Getac/IRSA. Taser, despite being best known for their electroshock weapons, is also a major player in the police body camera industry thanks to their purchase of a company called Evidence.com in 2010.
Earlier in 2015, the Justice Department announced they were investing $20 million in helping police departments acquire body cameras. Because each police department, no matter the size, requires storage and contracts with their vendors, the area promises to be a financial growth area for companies providing cameras and cloud storage.
The move is also a poke in the eye to Amazon Web Services, Taser's previous preferred vendor of choice.

InfoQ Homepage News Lack of Software Engineers Bears Risks
Lack of Software Engineers Bears Risks
Michael Stal
Although many products and solutions increasingly leverage software as an essential fundament, software engineers are becoming a rare species in Western countries. The problem with scarce availability of well-educated software engineers is that many companies require more engineers then they can get and if that gap widens, this could damage the leading edge of some companies.
In The Telegraph issue from the 12th of August one of the headlines has been "Lack of software engineering talent 'could derail London's Tech City'". In this news story, Joe Cohen an entrepreneur talks about the world-class technology cluster in East London that wants to compete with Silicon Valley, but suffers from a lack of software engineering talent. Especially, engineers who could be the founders of the next Google or Facebook kind of success stories.
Other countries in Europe are having a similar problem. In Switzerland, the number of students in computer science is the same than 20 years ago, which was recently mentioned in the Tages Anzeiger. Germany reveals a lack of experts in the so-called MINT disciplines (Mathematics, Information technology, Natural Sciences, Technology) where approximately 120000 experts are sought by companies as 3SAT, a TV broadcasting channel recently reported.
Even the highly attractive locations like Silicon Valley suffer from a shortage of qualified engineers as the New York Times explained in an article. In this case, there are software engineers available but not with the skill set the companies are looking for.
While countries in Europe or North America hardly create a few thousand software engineers per year, Asian countries like China or India are educating hundreds of thousands skilled experts every year.
In London, another challenge are the inherent problems of the existing education systems and governments
so it's the duty of technology firms to mobilise resources to provide training, structure and work experience.
Thus, Devcamp was initiated by different local companies which basically provides a series of training workshops to young students to help them develop apps for smart phones, the Web, or Facebook.
As a conclusion, companies and governments should spend more efforts in increasing the number of students in software engineering. Although engineers receive relatively high salaries, software engineering seems to have a bad reputation with respect to young people, especially by females. Mainly, because there is no clear profile of the software engineer's job other than the illusion of technology-addicted nerds that love to program day and night. It is not obvious, how interesting and diverse software engineering jobs are, requiring a lot of interaction with people.

One thing they could do is to soft regulations on hiring foreigners.
I'm a software engineer, I have fluent English, native Portuguese speaker and I understand Spanish.
So why the hell is so damn hard to get a working Visa for countries like these in EU, or in the USA?
Sometimes I wonder where is the so called Globalization. :-)
Fifteen or so years ago many companies made it very clear what they thought of software engineeers: wherever possible the role would be outsourced to the lowest-paying parts of the world.
Now they're surprised that there aren't enough such engineers.
Managers always like to say that there is a shortage of engineers, even when they are laying off engineers.
There is no systemic evidence of a shortage of software engineers. What you've provided here is anecdotal evidence of specific skills in two places (London and Silicon Valley). Software goes through boom and bust cycles, but managers complain about shortages even during the bust part of the cycle.
If there was a shortage of software engineers you would see companies creating retention programs to retain - and retrain - their software engineers. Can you show me even one company with a retention or retraining program for their software engineers?
+1... Additionally, what exactly are the metrics that define "the skill set the companies are looking for"? Regardless of how much you are "trained" or where for that matter, we will always encounter less than stellar or not so self-motivated individuals who will actually take the initiative to be true engineers. Engineering is not a field that welcomes stagnation and complacency. I think today's management just want to play the numbers game to their advantage. A shortage exists...but only in the facts.
I could live to be 300 and hear this mantra over and over.
One should not speak of a shortage of a good or service unless they specify a price level.
At 10$/hour, yeah - there is a shortage of software folk.
At $100/hr, you could fill the Grand Canyon with software engineers.
Of course, the 'real' meaning of the mantra is that there are no software engineers willing to work for 1970's wages.
As Mr. Robinson said above, this is no surprise
I applaud your English, but you are not fluent.
The average Software Engineering position pays a heck of a lot better than most jobs. So I wouldn't say our lack of engineers is due to wages. I would attribute the lack of western engineers to cultural issues (not interested in "coding", the required education is too difficult for the sedentary American, and emphasis on maintaining academically-agnostic [e.g.: not taking major into account] educational loans and grants).
> The average Software Engineering position pays a heck of a lot better than most jobs
Not true if you compare it with jobs requiring similar qualifications.
And it is a question of perspectives in your job. If as an engineer you want to make substantial money (same range like a lawyer or a doctor) you have to be "promoted" to some management position that has not much in common with thIe work an engineer does.
So if money is a major motivation for you working stay away from engineering, math or physics.
"The problem with scarce availability of well-educated software engineers is that many companies require more engineers then they can get and if that gap widens, this could damage the leading edge of some companies."
Software Engineering requires a level of natural capability as does being a competent mathematician. Sure most people can do math but are they competent enough for it to be a day job? No.
So, yes I think we need to spend more effort on education equally we need to focus on career/talent development within businesses and we should also accept that there's a finite pool of talent or accept that the quality of software produced will be reduced (which is fine for a number of lines of business but we can't complain about quality being reduced).
Urs,
But that's so not true! If you want to make a lot of money in computer science, start a company: Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Dell, HP, etc! All of these companies started out of someone's garage or dorm room. I only agree that the same is not true in mathematics and or physics.
This may be true if you start a company and thus take a risk. But the article was not complaining about a lack of entrepreneurs but of employees. And from my (european) perspective an employee is indeed the typical case.
I still think payment is not exceptional good compared to other positions that require a university degree.
Being a good software engineer takes real work, focus and deliberateness. These are three things that are unfortunately out-of-fashion in society today.
What we need to be doing is teaching the importance of doing real, hard work, and delivering real, high-quality value in everything that we do. We need to teach this to both the next generation, but also to the people we already have in our industry, and we need to teach it both by words and by example.
There's just no silver bullet.
Cameron Purdy | Oracle
www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/
This might be a disparity we are seeing between Europe and the US. Software Engineers in the US are being paid quite well compared to most other college degrees (I believe "Software Engineer" was recently declared the best occupation this year by a couple of business journals). Obviously Doctors and Lawyers get paid well, but in the case of Lawyers, the job market is saturated. Other professions that require a 4-year degree have considerably lower salaries. Teachers and social workers (even those with Master's degrees) are paid a fraction (40-50%) of what a Software Engineer makes.
Cameron,
I agree whole-heartedly with your position. Unfortunately, our culture (American) has some how shifted in the last few decades such that the majority of parents don't instill these values in their children. I really think it's going to take at least a decade of poor economic growth and hardship for the current generation to rediscover these values.
'Lack of Software Engineers Bears Risks' should be 'Lack of Software Engineers Bares Risks'.
Give us a chance to applaud your Spanish or Portuguese.
At least he speaks more than one language, Americans only speak (badly) her own language.
Why would I; I never claimed to be proficient in either. I also, by the way, am not seeking employment in Spain or Portugal.
Here's a generalization made on very little fact. Considering we are a country with an enormous population of emigrants (our own illegal immigrant population is larger than many European-country populations) and many of our "inhabitants" are multilingual. America is also a largely heterogeneous society. We don't benefit from the centuries of "cultural tempering" our European counterparts have. So, yes, our language gets "bastardized" by the simple fact that we have so many people with so many different background speaking it. But isn't this the point of language? It evolves with people.
What really makes me aggravated by your comment, however, is that if I were to come to any European country and proclaim that I was proficient in your language, your people would not only very flagrantly correct me, but would also be extremely rude about it.
If there is a shortage of experienced software engineers, why do companies (in the UK at least) keep firing experienced UK-based software engineers and developers, and replacing them with cheap, inexperienced offshore (or temporarily onshored) workers?
There is certainly a long-term problem with a shortage of people going into maths/science/engineering, but that's partly because the job and pay prospects are so poor. One in six UK IT graduates cannot find work after college, and even if they do, they know their prospects of still having a career - or even a job - into their 40s are pretty low. If these people are as smart as we would hope, it's hardly surprising they'd rather pass on all that hard work and hardship and go into the law, politics or finance instead.
Employers and politicians have complained about "skills shortages" in the UK for decades, but they don't want to invest in creating and retaining the skills they're looking for. They want somebody else to pick up the tab for providing skilled staff, just as they want somebody else to pick up the tab for the social and economic costs of firing those same skilled workers a few years down the line, to make a quick short-term profit by shipping work to the latest cheap offshore production centre. It's slash-and-burn agriculture applied to technology, and it's just as destructive in the long run.
Because generalizations are the epitome of intellectual honesty and accuracy.
Why should he? He's correct in his assertion. You do not say you are fluent in X language unless 1) you quantify fluency, and 2) you demonstrate it fluently. You don't want to hear that type of remark (which happens to be true), then don't open yourself to that type of remark (specially if it is true.)
All of that is besides the point anyways. There is a shortage of GOOD engineers worldwide. But there is no shortage of programmers worldwide. But in well-paid countries, there is a shortage of programmers (and by consequence, GOOD engineers) willing to get paid peanuts (specially if they have to accumulate tens of thousands of dollars in student loans to get their education, a flaw of our education system mind you.)
Adding to Urs' comment, I might mention that Richard has listed a handful of highly-successful companies, and has not mentioned the tens of thousands of start-ups that went nowhere. I think the example is not relevant to the topic.
+1 to Gordon. What goes around comes around. Perhaps there will now be an upswing in demand and pay rates for software developers.
With millions of people out of work in the US alone, and worse situations in some countries such as (for example) Spain, why would a cost-conscious manager create a retention program for any job role?
You and I might agree in principle that it's better to retain and retrain the good people we already have than to churn through an endless series of mass hirings and mass layoffs, but that doesn't mean the typical manager in the typical corporation thinks that way. History provides numerous examples of intelligent humans doing stupid things on purpose.
"If these people are as smart as we would hope, it's hardly surprising they'd rather pass on all that hard work and hardship and go into the law, politics or finance instead."
That reminds me of something Steve Balmer said several years ago. Paraphrasing: "The problem is that the average salary for a programmer is $75,000. If that were $50,000 you'd have less of a problem."
Balmer obviously never thought through the consequences of his "solution". If college students thought that pay in their field was going to drop by a third the best ones would change majors. Smart, capable people want to go where there is opportunity, not where opportunity is vanishing.
Balmer's approach would leave software engineering populated with people who weren't smart enough to do the job well.
Well stated Dan. While data is hard to come by it's safe to say that a great software engineer is measurably more productive than someone who lacks the sufficient talent or training. I've had the need to measure this very thing in the past so I say that with a high degree of confidence.
In Denver, Colorado I will say that finding these great software engineers, from a talent and company fit perspective, is a difficult task.
I just read another article in infoq about offices not being fit for people to program in that shows a lack of respect of software engineers. Maybe there is some relationship?
Bears -> Carries
Bares -> Exposes
I think the first word is what is meant.
Yes, but there are not too many starved software engineers. Engineers may fail to successfully start a company, but it does not mean that they have failed to succeed in their own careers. On the other hand, think about educators who have as much education as a software engineer, are paid half as much, and are frequently prone to layoffs.
These "journalists" will copy whatever press releases come from Oracle, Microsoft etc.
When outsourcing and H1b will happen as massively with the rest of professional categories (lawyers, accountants, doctors etc) as massively as they do it with us, then things will change, not before.
Problem is, we technical people are, on a non technical level, rather gullible. We start searching for "the solution to the problem of software engineers shortage" because this is what we do, solve problems.
The PR people that "ask the question to be solved" are very skilled in lying and mystifying, hence the fake question.
Totally agree and can say that the situation hasn't changed much. Technologies evolve so fast that it's almost impossible to satisfy the demand for IT-specialists. Of course, the number of graduates is bigger, but they are newbies when companies do not always have the time to give them the right experience. Thus, often companies are struggling to find the right expert and have to look abroad for one. There's a way this shortage can be resolved, here's an article that explains how:

Royal Challengers Bangalore Team Profile – Champions League T20 2010
By IPL Cricket
If anyone had said Royal Challengers Bangalore would figure in next year's Champions League T20 after their performance in the first IPL, derisive laughter would have been the result.
But not only did they turn their fortunes around well enough to qualify for what was the inaugural year of the cash-rich CLT20, but by doing so again this year, they have become only the second team to repeat the feat after Victorian Bushrangers.
Unlike the Bushrangers, who made the semifinals, RCB didn't quite set the field alight last year despite the advantage of playing their initial matches at home in the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
This time, they are back at what they consider their second home, South Africa. This is where they rose like the phoenix go from No. 7 to the second-best team in the IPL.
The abundance of South Africans in their side, starting with coach Ray Jennings, a former SA national team coach no less, undoubtedly helps.
For this tournament, the trio of Jacques Kallis, Dale Steyn and Dillon du Preez, make up the SA contingent in the 15-man squad, two of whom should definitely take the field along with Cameron White and Ross Taylor, two of the hardest-hitting batsman in the world presently.
Actually, the very fact that the team management has invested as much as $600,000 to ensure the presence of Kallis, White and Taylor, all of whom would otherwise have turned out for their home teams, shows that RCB are willing to go to any length to have a shot at the title, which in effect will make them the world's top cricket club, not forgetting the richest too, given that the total prize money we are talking about is $ 6 million.
RCB, though, are not entirely dependent on their foreign stars. If in Anil Kumble they have a shrewd leader who knows a thing or two about getting a side to play together as a team and not as a bunch of stars, in Rahul Dravid they have a steadying influence with the bat, a much-needed factor given that the other batsmen in the side, Kallis at the top apart, tend to go hell for leather.
With the likes of Virat Kohli and Robin Uthappa, two young men who love the big stage, to follow, RCB's batting depth is not to be scoffed at.
Nor so the bowling, making them a well-rounded side. Led by Dale Steyn, who can expect support from the Bangalore duo of Vinay Kumar and Abhimanyu Mithun. Praveen Kumar, too will relish the SA conditions, the bowling is in more than capable hands. That Kumble will be around to provide the spinning option makes this a dangerous attack.
All in all RCB should start the second edition of the CLT20 start as one of the favourites for the title.

Q: Where does the Liskov Substitution Principle generally lie in different constructor parameter lists? There are two other questions I've posted that dealt with specific cases of this:
Where does the Liskov Substitution Principle lie in a subclass passing extra arguments to similar, tightly-related callbacks?
Matching the superclass's constructor's parameter list, is treating a null default value as a non-null value within a constructor a violation of LSP?
but these have kind of left me a little lost on the general case.  A basic summary of what I've gotten out of the answers to these questions is as follows:

The Liskov Substitution Principle does not apply to constructors; it only applies post-construction.  You can change parameter lists all you want, and you can even make matching parameters exhibit very different behaviors.
An exception to this rule is that if a callback is passed in to the constructor of both the base class and the superclass, and if it cannot be set at a later time, then the subclass's version, in normal situations, must be backwards-compatible with superclass's version.  The reason for this is that, in normal situations, outside code cannot otherwise enter into a state in which it would behave in the same way.

Even though this statement doesn't necessarily contradict itself, it comes close, yet only on a halfway fine-grained point.  So at this point, it's probably a good idea for me to ask about the subprinciple of LSP that deals specifically with constructors, particularly with their parameter lists.
What is the general application of LSP here?

Example
Consider the following example, which only illustrates certain specific points (this question is still about the general case though, not this example):
BasicButton:
public class BasicButton extends Sprite
{
    private var m_fOnClick:Function;
    private var m_fOnPress:Function;
    private var m_fOnRelease:Function;

    private var m_iColorPressed:uint;
    private var m_iColorReleased:uint;

    public function BasicButton(pColorPressed:uint, pColorReleased:uint, pOnClick:Function
            = null, pOnPress:Function = null, pOnRelease:Function = null)
    {
        m_iColorPressed = pColorPressed;
        m_iColorReleased = pColorReleased;
        m_fOnClick = pOnClick;
        m_fOnPress = pOnPress;
        m_fOnRelease = pOnRelease;
        drawBackground(pColorReleased);
    }

    private function drawBackground(pColor:uint):void
    {
        // completely fill the entire rectangular area of the button with one solid color
    }

    .
    .
    .
        // when the button has been pressed:
        if (m_fOnPress)
        {
            m_fOnPress();
        }
    .
    .
    .
}

DirectionalButton:
// This class illustrates several different points.
public final class DirectionalButton extends BasicButton
{
    private var m_eDirection:int;

    private var m_fOnPress:Function;

    // Multiple parameters are omitted.  Two are just uint configurations to decide a color
    // with, and one is a callback that, if a non-null value had been included, would have
    // interacted directly with outside code.  Furthermore the pOnPress callback is treated
    // differently throughout this class.  Finally, pOnPress and pOnRelease are no longer
    // optional.
    public function DirectionalButton(pDirection:int, pOnPress:Function,
            pOnRelase:Function)
    {
        m_eDirection = pDirection;
        m_fOnClick = pOnClick;

        // pOnPress is nullified; the superclass won't even try to call it.
        // The colors are hard-coded.
        super(0x858585, 0xCCCCCC, null, onPress, pOnRelease);

        addArrowSprite(pDirection);
    }

    private function addArrowSprite(pDirection:int):void
    {
        // Add a new Sprite instance as a child, which will take the form of an arrow
        // pointing in the specified direction, using a different color than the
        // background.  Whereas the you could always assume that the superclass maintained
        // one color throughout at all times, this assumption will now be broken in the
        // subclass.  That means that, depending on how you interpret things, the
        // background color specified in the superclass's constructor uses either differing
        // or equivalent behavior.
    }

    private function onPress():void
    {
        m_fOnPress(m_eDirection); // pOnPress from before has had its parameter
                                  // list interfered with.  Also it is now assumed to be
                                  // non-null.
    }
}

Remember that this example is still only dealing with the constructors' parameters, not with regular public functions or anything.  Furthermore you have several different so-called "properties" that are suppliable to the constructors, but which have no way to be configured afterward.
Whether dealing with these sorts of cases, or with different types of cases, what is the LSP rule about constructors, especially with their parameter lists?

A: It depends on what language you're working with.
Let's look at the informal definition of the Liskov Substitution Principle (herafter LSP):

You should be able to use an instance of a subtype anywhere you could use the base type.

That only tangentially impacts constructors. LSP doesn't particularly care how instances are created, only that once created they play nice. Constructors obviously can impact if the instances play nice when used, but that's not really different from other object state impacting their behavior.
In a few more esoteric languages though, the types (and their constructors) can be treated like objects. Having the constructors behave differently in that sort of context would be a violation of LSP, but of the type objects, not the actual class instances.

At one point in her life, author and co-founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church Kathy Keller sought pastoral ordination. Yet she came to adopt the view that men and women have different roles in marriage and ministry, and that fulfilling such roles pleases God and leads to greater personal fulfillment.
In this unapologetic but nuanced piece, Keller presents a caring and careful case for biblical gender differences and the complementarian view of women in ministry. At the same time, she encourages women to teach and lead in the church in ways that may startle some complementarians. Readers on both sides of this hot-button topic will be challenged by her ministry-tested and thoroughly Scriptural perspective.

Q: 1950's SF story: Farm boy discovers door at the end of the world; discovers several other worlds in asteroid The story line: a young boy raised in a farming community finds a door in a wall that he thought was the physical limit of his world. His community puts food on a conveyor belt that goes thorough the wall, to where they do not know, and do not question. The door leads him to another world, where he meets a young girl who joins him on adventure. In brief, the two discover there are four or five worlds/communities all in a huge hollowed-out asteroid...which they discover was sent from earth thousands of years before to start the colonisation of a new world..but no one in any of the separate worlds on the asteroid remembered this. They figure it out, and make the scientist/navigator/pilot world aware of it and thus save the asteroid 'world" of people.
Does anyone know the title and/or author of this story? It was spectacular for me at a very young age.
Edited to add:
As my memory further serves, there were 4 or 5 worlds within this hollowed-out asteroid. The boy's farming community sent food on a conveyor belt through a wall, and they received manufactured goods similarly. One of the worlds was a manufacturing world, and another was responsible for the piloting of the asteroid...but the knowledge that that was their task was long ago forgotten. I believe that eventually everyone learns, thanks to the boy and girl, that the asteroid is going to crash into a star if they don't take control and complete the original mission of colonizing a planet that orbits that star.
There is no religious persecution story, and no sex story, as one of the respondents had suggested in the book/story they recall.
I most definitely read it in the late 1950's, so it isn't Orphans of the Sky which I'm advised was written in the 70's, though it's entirely possible Heinlein borrowed the themes from someone else's earlier story.
I hope this additional information helps, as I am eager to learn the title of this book/story and the author.

A: I believe the story is The Star Seekers, by Milton Lesser.  I read it approximately 60 years ago. Great story. I have forgotten some of the details, but whenever I see dinner trays with dirty dishes on a conveyor belt at a cafeteria, I think about the dinner trays on the conveyor in the story.
Having worked in a few mega-corporation environments, I have often thought of some of my co-workers who worked as drones, never really knowing what was in the huge corporate environment around them, and never really knowing who used their output or who provided their inputs -- oblivious to what was really happening in the greater environment.

A: This plot has some similarities to Robert A. Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky -- set in a generation ship that suffered a mutiny and, as a result, lost its collective memory of mission and destination.  The book originally appeared in two parts beginning in 1941, though it wasn't published in a single volume until 1963.
I don't recall a boy-girl love interest, but the unquestioning, ritualistic service of the "Ship", without any actual knowledge of what any of their service means, is there, along with the eventual (partial) rescue of mission and (part of) the population by launching a lifeboat into a system the ship is passing.

A: Are you sure about the date? Other than that, it sounds like Phoenix Without Ashes by Harlan Ellison and Edward Bryant, the basis for the ill-fated TV show The Starlost. But it was published in 1975.

They had banished Devon from the world of Cypress Corners because he
  dared to challenge the Elders. And when he defied them again, they
  hunted him like an animal. Then Devon stumbled on a secret passage in
  the hills. His whole life changed in that moment. For Devon had
  accidentally discovered the giant ark that was ferrying not only
  Cypress Corners but all other Earth cultures to another planet. What
  Devon did not know was that there had been a terrible accident aboard
  the spaceship. The gear hat been damaged, the crew dead. And the ark
  and all its worlds were now headed straight for destruction.

CJR Wind: 10 Wind Farms in Portuguese territory in 2015
In this article, ALER disseminates the work developed by its Member CJR Wind in the portuguese territory, whose experience they hope to apply in other Portuguese-speaking countries.
A total of 10 Wind Farms (WFs) and 202 MW of installed capacity describe what was the year of in Portugal 2015 for CJR Wind.
Either fully functioning or still under construction, in 2015, the final calculations show that CJR Wind participated in more than 200 MW of wind power in Portugal. The Wind Farms that CJR Wind embraced during the previous year were: Moimenta I & II, São Cristóvão, Bornes, Lousã II, Candeeiros, Todo-o-Mundo, Chão Falcão, Guardão, Picos Vale do Chão and Sernancelhe WF.
With a scope of work of BoP (Civil Construction and/or Electrical Installation) and/or Electrical and Mechanical Installation of Wind Turbine Generators, CJR Wind is proud of its share of participation in each of these projects that had complied with their predicted strategy. Much more than MW accumulated, these projects confirm the strong presence of CJR Wind in the market, as well as strenghten the company's position towards stakeholders. In every tasks were present methodologies, techniques and strategies of the organization that led to quality services, fulfillment of deadlines and the assurance of a competitive price.
Operating in the wind industry since 2002, CJR Wind (CJR Renewables' brand for the wind energy sector), part of the CJR Group, acts across all phases of the implementation process, including design and optimization, construction, electrical installation, transportation and wind turbine assembly. Currently present in over 15 countries, CJR Wind has offices in several countries in Europe and Latin America. In 2015, CJR Wind was involved in more than 40 wind Farms, and today counts with more than 3300 MW of experience.
CJR Wind is a Member of ALER since May 2015 and expect to use all this experience for the development of renewable energy projects in ALER's priority Lusophone countries.

your command looks fine and should work. Maybe you run into a specific problem that can only be seen in the log file. I would suggest you to get in contact with Support in order them to analyze your specific problem.
Look like I fixed it. I downloaded a new .MSI and replaced the "broken" one. Now it look like its working again.


Abstract: The total set of the 14 active galactic nuclei detected by MAGIC so far includes well-studied bright blazars like Mkn 501, the giant radio galaxy M 87, but also the distant flat-spectrum radio quasar 3C 279, and an intriguing gamma-ray source in the 3C 66A/B region, whose energy spectrum is not compatible with the expectations from 3C 66A. Besides scheduled observations, so far MAGIC succeeded in discovering TeV gamma rays from three blazars following triggers from high optical states. I report selected highlights from recent MAGIC observations of extragalactic TeV gamma-ray sources, emphasizing and discussing the new physics insights the MAGIC observations were able to contribute.

Roaming through Chinese supermarkets is certainly my idea of a good time. Holding a basket, I can go through all isles as if I have to study it all. I read the packaging for different brands, I hover above their frozen food section, I stare at their collection of vinegars (for example), and I check out their vegetable and fresh fruit section. It can be fun to try out things you haven't seen or eaten before. So, last time I was in the Chinese supermarket I stumbled upon this strange foodstuff: fresh lily bulbs (鲜百合). They were on a rather large display, selling 2 bulbs for 1 euro.
I couldn't resist trying, but in the back of my mind was the famous Dutch horror story of a whole classroom of primary school students, who were given flower bulbs to eat by their teacher as a school project. The idea of this was to have the students taste the bitter times of the 'winter of hunger' of 1944-45, when there was a famine in the west of the Netherlands, so the local population started eating tulip bulbs for nutrition. Unfortunately, this particular teacher didn't know which flower bulb was edible and which was not. He boiled the bulbs of narcissus instead of tulips and got the whole school sick. Would these fresh lily bulbs be edible? Or only after simmering for hours with certain herbs or flavours?
These white lily bulbs have the size of a garlic bulb or small onion, and I was quite at loss at what to do. So I read the package. It said they were from the highlands of Lanzhou in Western China, and highly valued for their sweet, crisp and refreshing flavour (plus their nutritional value of course). They were traditionally a tribute gift for the imperial court. If you want to eat them raw (package says), use them in cold platters or have them with Western style (!) salads. For stir-frying, fry no longer than 1 minute or they will lose their sweet flavour; if you decide to cook them, do not cook more than two minutes. The funny thing is the package says you could also use them in Western style cakes and sweets – has anyone ever heard of lilies used that way?
Anyway, I wiped them clean of their Chinese yellow earth, peeled off their petals, which looked beautiful, and had a bite. They were indeed very crispy, with a sweet tinge, they had a crunch like raw Belgian endives (witloof), but a much sweeter and crunchy taste. I used them in a (western-style) salad (picture here) and quite liked them. Now I still have to think of a nice way to use them in a sweet dessert, or have them as a receptacle for blue cheese, cream cheese, or some other spread as an amuse!
Anyone who hasn't tried Fresh Lily Bulb is missing out on a fabulous culinary treat. I've been using these bulbs for about 20 years, ever since I was introduced to them by a Chinese friend in Toronto. When I began using lily bulb, they were quite inexpensive. The price has been elevated to more than ten times what it was back in the day but, since they are still as nature intended, i.e., not genetically modified, they are seasonal and one expects to pay dearly for real food in these days of "soylent green-ness". One must be careful to wash them in a chlorine solution and cut away the mould that grows on them even inside the vacuum packaging. I use lily bulb exclusively as a salad or smoothy ingredient, never applying any heat to the delicate petals of the bulbs. Lily bulb has the effect of estrogen for me and so I am judicious in my use of it, never eating more than four petals in a day.


'New Holland' was the earlier European term for Australia. However, during his seminal voyage some 7 years earlier, British explorer James Cook named the Australian eastern coast 'New Wales', later revising it to 'New South Wales'. It was only after settlement by Phillip that it officially became known as New South Wales, but even then, only the east side of the continent – to the 135th Meridian, while the rest in the west remained known as New Holland.
Rom-pom-pom-pom-pom pom-pom! Is a well known refrain lifted from the song 'The Little Drummer boy' which was itself based on a traditional Czech Christmas carol. The idea that Phillip would have known this at the time is clearly tenuous. Nevertheless, conceptually the idea was based on the use of military drummers, and there were certainly military musicians and drummers on the first fleet. The idea of drums for marching soldiers and for motivation and communications on the battle field was said have Chinese origins, and is believed to have been brought to Europe via the attempted Ottoman invasions possibly as early as 1300's.
We brought our Union Jack! The ubiquitous flag of the British Empire. In fact the flag flown by Governor Phillip would have actually been different to what we are familiar with in the modern era. It would have been the similar looking 'Flag of Great Britain' which had one less red 'X' or saltire which later represented Ireland. This earlier version was the maritime flag used until 1801.
Bring on some modern British football crowd, or 'Barmy Army' style cricket chants, and blend with something that may have been sung in the 1780's.
Into this first proper verse, the song now shifts from the perspective of being at sea, to the first impressions of the people of this new land. Our protagonist, still based loosely on Phillip is perhaps diarising, or thinking to himself.
The 'Backward Savages' line is very important to note, this is definitely not Blackbreaks calling Australian Indigenous peoples 'backward savages' but is rather an imagined statement from the first Governor, using the historical terminology of the day. The unchristian 'backward savage' was a label first used on American Indians, who needed 'whites' to show them the true way. James Cook used similar terms on the Australian indigenous, stating they "appear to some to be the most wretched people upon Earth", however interestingly he added they may actually be happier than Europeans as they had everything they needed. Cook here was also clearly influenced by the French Enlightenment philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau and his concept of the 'Noble Savage', which dovetailed into another pervading idea at the time, of 'Noblesse Oblige' – that superior whites had a moral obligation to bring these backward people out of the darkness and into the civilised Christian light.
Here was the belief in the "utmost superiority" of Europeans, where science and inventions like guns (and gun powder, again ironically from China) were proof that they were smarter and lived a superior more complex existence than non-Europeans. This belief does not stand to reason, and illustrates the ignorance of the British of Australian Indigenous language, culture and advanced scientific knowledge of their own land and resources, including foods and medicines.
George the Third was King of England at the time of Phillip's declaration at what is modern day Sydney's Circular Quay.
This is perhaps the primary point of the song – that Terra Nullius, the declaration of 'land occupied by no-one', meant that the Indigenous Australians were considered not real people at the time of British arrival. This means the establishment of the Australian colony was from the outset based on a lie, a point legally confirmed more recently by the Australian High Court decision known as Mabo.
But lies are of course acceptable if spoken truly in the Kings perfect English. Anyone (such as the lower social classes in Britain) unable to keep up with the Kings accent of the day were considered the lesser, and more so anyone who could not speak English at all. The most absurd example of this is how Spanish people to this day still speak with a pretend lisp. This is because one particular Spanish King had a speech impediment in the form lisp and to keep up with the style everyone in the know copied him. But this happened after South American colonial settlement, so Spanish speakers their have retained the earlier lisp free version of the language.
Sweet Britannia rules the waves!
And there we have it – a proclamation by Governor Phillip, in the name of the King, makes all the lies a truth.
But there is a problem for the Europeans, that closing your eyes and pretending to sleep doesn't make people disappear. You cannot dream your troubles away, nor can you ever simply wish away a whole people.
Language is now known to be the basis of human thought and a cornerstone for the formation of culture. It is a particularly telling historical fact that even into the 1960's in some Australian locations (schools, orphanages, "protective" missions) speaking in a native Australian tongue was strictly banned and enforced with severe punishment.
Similarly Australian Indigenous culture and art is being recently 'rediscovered', to be incredibly rich and complex, despite years of colonial attempts at all manner of suppression. This lives on today where Australian archaeologists are still forced to keep location of rock art strictly secret as thousand-year-old locations are routinely vandalised or destroyed by the ignorant and the racist.
The whiteness of our hearts was inspired by the absurdity of modern alt-right and skinhead style philosophies, ironic as hearts, like brains, are all coloured the same, no matter what the so-called 'Race'.
With Ignorance and Arrogance, the song gives way to an admitted universal guilty plea of the colonial soldier.
Your fauna or your fire.
Again, its only in recent decades that mainstream Australian governments, scientists, fire fighters, chefs, and academics are turning their attention and giving belated respect to the incredible complexity of flora, fauna and fire management, and associated knowledge that is actively kept by Australian indigenous communities. This reinforces the absurd fundamental ignorance of the British in their approach to understanding new lands.
'Yet you fight off our desire' references the widely insinuated early sexual assaults particularly between convicts and soldiers and indigenous women.
We were born to rule this way!
We're gonna dream these blacks away-oh..
Such dreams will fade away, because one day all Australians will wake up.
We are on Aboriginal land.
Terra Nullius is probably the most politically passionate anthem blackbreaks has produced so far.
Prior to European settlers arriving some 230 years ago, Australia was home to colonies of indigenous people – the rightful inhabitants of the Australian land.
The impact of Europeans on indigenous Australians was nothing short of barbaric disgrace and criminalism.
I think Australia today is vastly changing and losing sight of its own value and worth.
Indigenous people are a minority and without the momentous support from all Australian's, the aboriginal people will never have the power or the means to reclaim back the Australian soil as rightfully theirs.
Blackbreaks passion and enthusiasm is to be commended. But I fear Australia has lost sight of the truly great country it once was and once again could be. The biggest downfall of this country is lack of respect.
This country is so afraid of 'offending' that our leaders have no courage in fighting for what is no longer right.
I agree Australia is aboriginal land.
I agree aboriginal people need more respect and acknowledgment.
But I don't see our leaders standing up for what has become a country consumed by greed.
Australia's education has raised many to have very set views that they have today, especially the older generations.
Focusing on today's youth to re-educate can bring a new insight and understanding into Australia's history.
Create an additional date…….to celebrate indigenous culture and their significant existence prior to the First Fleet, may be the answer to keep all happy.
Stay true to your beliefs Blackbreaks, your argument is warranted.
Unfortunately every country though has its dark history.
Thanks for posting your thoughts Mel, you have brought up lots of cool issues to think about – I agree education is key.. I personally would love to see all state schools across the country teach their local indigenous language..

Deel Castle () was built in the 16th century by the Bourkes and later renamed Castle Gore. It is located near the town of Crossmolina, County Mayo, in Ireland

History

Deel Castle is a 16th-century tower house of the Bourkes which is close to the northern end of Lough Conn. The castle was built alongside the River Deel and its Irish name, Caisleán na Daoile means 'the Castle of the River Deel'.

After Colonel Thomas Bourke had fought on the side of King James II & VII in the Williamite Wars, the property was forfeited and given to the Gore family, afterwards Earls of Arran, who renamed it Castle Gore. The tower house had a large 18th-century wing with a rusticated doorway added to it; possibly incorporating a 17th-century range.

The castle, along with other lands, was leased to James Cuff, Lord Tyrawley, towards the end of the 18th century. It was occupied by the Cuff's steward for part of the 19th century. James Cuff, Lord Tyrawley, built a house beside the old Bourke castle in 1791. This country house was also called Castle Gore. This 18th century house was burnt by the IRA in 1922 and not rebuilt.

The old castle, which was still largely intact as of the early 20th century, has since fallen now a ruin.

Describe the aims & objectives of the school.
Emily Robinson- STRAND A A1 Describe the aims & objectives of the school Aims and Objectives are goals that you intend to achieve by the end of the year. An aim is an important target that helps you achieve your own goal that you give yourself by the end of the lesson and to achieving your mission. An objective is a small scale goal that helps you achieve your aim it also helps you understand your aim for the lesson and to help you get a good grade for your work. This means you are setting yourself a really good challenge then you should have something to work for and something to achieve. The main aims for the school are: * Raise attainment at KS4 * Raise attainment in core subjects/ * Improve contextual value, by adding scores in line with the national average or better * Raise school profile in the community * Improve attendance The main objective for the school is to increase GCSE by 10% each year so students can learn to their best of their own ability at KS4 and the same with the core subjects. The school could provide after school booster lessons so that students can learn a bit more so they can work towards achieving their objective that they set themselves each year. School wants students to work how they want to work and to achieve what they want to achieve so they wont be disappointed when the get their results. Another objective is to try and persuade students to come to school at least 90% each year as the students would benefit from this, if students arrived on time then the school could reward them with prizes or improve the prizes so that the students would like to try and be rewarded with that prize. Raising school profile would help encourage students to be proud of which school they go to as they could help advertise the school. ...read more.
After the terminal is built the operations department would do all the running of the new resource. The three departments work together well because they correspond with each other in different and effective ways for example face to face like in meetings this is good because you can get your point across better and can influence people. Also the three departments must work together because if they didn't the business wouldn't work together effectively. If the three departments didn't work together the departments would suffer and the airport as a whole would suffer. There would be no communication amongst the departments, causing Manchester Airport to lose out to surrounding competitors. STRAND C C1 Describe the how oral communication is used in the school with examples There are many different types of oral communication within the school, such as a parent/ teacher interview known as Performance Review Day (PRD). It has a significant use of communication as it is quick and efficient. This is one of the main communications in school. Teaching can become a two way communication, meaning the students will give good feedback to the teacher, by asking questions or taking part in the lesson. The oral way is an informal communication. The advantages of PRD, parents evening and in lesson communication is that everyone knows what they are doing and parents know how well their child/ren are doing in school. A disadvantage would be that if it is long message it would be easier to write down instead of verbal. Another way of oral communication is in assemblies, this also has a significant use of communication as it has to inform and advise students. This kind of communication is used to inform people about incoming events that are going to happen. E.G. informing students those things may or may not take place, this can sometimes be formal or informal. The advantages of assemblies are that everyone is being informed on a horizontal flow communication. ...read more.
D2 Explain the impact of a change in environmental conditions in on the school The impact of a change in environmental conditions can be either bad or good. Climate change can affect Bruntcliffe School because at the minute climate change is a big worry because they change every so often. The local environment plays a big part on Bruntcliffe School as that's where they get their students from. Bruntcliffe School wants to be friends with the community for the ongoing noise coming from and around the school. They could get complaints from the public and from very local residents. Bruntcliffe School could also encourage the public to recycle as this could decrease the amount of things such as plastic thrown away each year Bruntcliffe school could help the public to recycle by providing bins. Businesses could help by recycling and by being environmentally aware. Live earth could help by increasing global awareness and having sponsors. The government could increase taxes to try and reduce pollution. The public could help by advertising and by using public transport and by recycling D3 Suggest & justify responses to changes in environmental conditions on the school To make the environmental conditions at the school better they could use full air conditioning in the classrooms, this would help the students concentrate better instead of working in a hot sweaty room. Another suggestion I could make is that the school could increase the amount of recycling and reduce the amount of waste they don't use. They could also encourage the students to walk to school, this would reduce the amount of noise pollution and are pollution and it will also increase the amount of exercise the students will get. They could also make parents understand that when they pick their child up from school that they cause congestion and also the amount of noise pollution and to improve this, the school could put cones or yellow lines around the school preventing the parents so they cannot access the ground to pick their child up. ?? ?? ?? ?? ...read more.
I.E green trays, degradable plastic bags. Tesco's have used objectives to cut down on energy, fuel and water spending on all there stores across Britain. They have a very refined way of recycling bins and trees, regenerating areas and lorry deliveries during of peak times.
Also for Tesco to reduce costs they will change their suppliers constantly this is because they will want to buy the lowest and best priced products from their suppliers and sell it from a more higher price to their customers to make a profit.
Admin are also in charge of collecting and distributing mail so if any other functional area would like to send mail the Administrative staff would have to do it for them. This is an important function to carry out because if urgent mail is not received then it could affect the overall outcome of Morrisons.
Organisation, structure and objectives of Tescos and Victim Support.
The accounts section is responsible for many things, they control all money paid in and out of Tesco. The finance department has all final accounts and is responsible for the sources and use of funds, these funds may be used for such things as designing a new product or store etc.
In addition, newspapers are only read once (if at all, in the case of free newspapers), so the adverts may not be noticed and ad space can be expensive. Magazines usually have a clear target audience such as teenagers, males, females, car enthusiasts, etc.
know the following things: * My target market = 11-20 year olds. * What product will be most in demand, therefore what products to have most stock of = biros. * Which products are least in demand= binders, colouring pencils and rulers.

Q: What is Btrfs RAID 1 disk failure tolerance? I have been googling for a while and have not found definitive answer.
I saw Btrfs mirroring chunks of data and not exactly a whole-drive mirror like a traditional RAID. Now assume I have 8 1TB drives in a single RAID1 pool of Btrfs. Does this mean I can theoretically lose even 4 drives without losing any data (losing 1 drive per mirrored pair)? And if it were 7 drives can I lose as many as three?

A: According to the btrfs wiki:

NOTE This does not do the 'usual thing' for 3 or more drives. Until "N-Way" (traditional) RAID-1 is implemented: Loss of more than one drive might crash the array. For now, RAID-1 means 'one copy of what's important exists on two of the drives in the array no matter how many drives there may be in it'.

If this is to be believed then losing 4 drives will definitely crash the array.


•	An international event to discuss food and how our eating habits have an impact on our planet. World-renowned guests and a debate on food systems between Guido Barilla and Carlin Petrini.
"Hunger, obesity, food loss, waste and limited resources are some of the greatest challenges to overcome in the next few years if we want to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Since we all share and consume the planet's resources, we urgently need to change the current development models and raise everyone's awareness about this issue. One of the BCFN Foundation's most important initiatives is to make a practical contribution to empowering people with informed lifestyle choices. So, this year, once again, we have decided to hold an event specifically for sharing useful findings, scientific data and best practices to build food models which are good for our health and for the planet", explained Guido Barilla, President of the Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition Foundation, behind the scenes of the 8th International Forum on Food and Nutrition.
The two-day event focused on all aspects of food, nutrition and sustainability, with important contributions from Jeffrey Sachs, the internationally-renowned economist, who spoke about the role of young people and what they represent for the future of the planet, Bob Geldof, a leading activist in the fight against hunger, Guido Barilla and Carlin Petrini, debating the role of food in the protection of biodiversity and sustainable development, while Melissa Fleming from the UNHCR explained why just helping refugees to survive is not enough. The Forum also dedicated time to rewarding young researchers from around the world who have designed outstanding research projects on food, nutrition and agri-food sustainability as part of BCFN YES!, as well as to getting children involved by encouraging them to try their hand at the activities in the interactive laboratories on the theme of food and sustainability. Creative engagement was provided by the new fairy-tales from Gunter Pauli – published by Edizioni Ambiente – which offer an-in-depth analysis on the theme of sustainability, specifically aimed at young people.
1 billion people: this is the number of migrants around the world. Migrants who move within their own country of birth and residence stand at around 760 million while those who move to a different country to where they were born number 245 million. The causes are many and varied, however, when talking about migration, one should consider that every 1% increase in food insecurity forces 1.9% of the population to move (in a population of 1,000), while a further 0.4% (in a population of 1,000) flee their homeland due to war. In this context, the Mediterranean basin and Europe still have a key role to play as destination countries, even though it appears that the routes, from South to North, in particular from Africa to Europe, are taken by less than 10% of African migrants. In this process, both in terms of economic development and the integration of cultural habits, food continues to play an essential role, because it remains one of the main causes of migration and because it represents an opportunity, also in economic terms, for destination countries. These are some of the main evidence of the study "Food & Migration. Understanding the geopolitical nexus in the Euro-Mediterranean", made by MacroGeo together with BCFN. (For further information, please refer to the separate press release).
France, followed by Japan and Germany: these are the three countries whose food is the "best" in the world. This is not simply due to how their food tastes, but because they came out on top, among the 34 countries analysed, in terms of the way they produce, distribute and consume food. These are the results of the new Food Sustainability Index, developed by the BCFN Foundation and The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), which analyses the planet's food choices, not merely based on taste, but also considering the overall value which the food represents. In this new ranking, Italy is the seventh best, but it is at the top for sustainable agriculture. Among the new features of the 2017 edition of the Food Sustainability Index is a focus on the Mediterranean basin, which shows that, overall, France (1st), Spain (4th), Portugal (6th) and Italy (7th) occupy the top positions, thanks to policies implemented to tackle both industrial and domestic food loss and waste. The countries of the Southern Mediterranean ranked lower: Israel (15th) and Turkey (16th) were followed by Jordan (25th), Egypt (27th), Morocco (29th), Tunisia (30th) and Lebanon (31st). (For further information, please refer to the FSI-dedicated press release).
This year, the BCFN Forum is delighted to be sponsored by the World Food Programme Italia – the organisation which works to support the World Food Programme (WFP), the largest humanitarian organisation in the world, with the mandate of eradicating global hunger. According to Tiziana dell'Orto, Executive Director of WFP Italia, "bringing food means bringing life". This edition of the Forum will give all the participants the opportunity to donate to the WFP, through a social media campaign promoted by the BCFN. The WFP, part of the UN system, is only funded on a voluntary basis. We need everyone to contribute: individuals, companies, institutions and governments".

Thank you so much."
"Last year, my husband was diagnosed with a degenerative bone disorder. His pain got worse and worse until the pain pills were no longer helping. He was given approval for medical we had a very difficult time getting an appointment locally. Today, Curaleaf opened their doors in Forest Hills and we couldn't be happier. I emailed them on Tuesday evening, July 3rd, to ask about making an appointment, anticipating an answer later in the week. I was shocked to receive a personal response moments later. Mike was so wonderful... and courteous, offering us an appointment their opening day. He reminded us what we needed to bring and worked with us on scheduling a time. When we arrived at the location tonight, everyone was so pleasant and welcoming. We were quickly checked in and got to see a consultant, Victoria, within minutes. She was so sweet and patient, answering all of our questions and giving my husband a lot of information regarding his options. My husband made his selection and we were checked out within minutes. It was such a great experience. We were pleased with their selection of options and their pricing. And I've never seen such excellent customer service. We will definitely return! A+++"
