As stealing gets difficult… By Mohammad Qaddam Sidq Isa
The recent revelation by President Muhammadu Buhari that more than two trillion naira were saved in just three months, thanks to his administration's commitment to the Treasury Single Account (TSA), is greatly encouraging, considering the sheer amount of the funds saved, which is equal to about one-third of Nigeria's total budget, and which would have otherwise ended up in the personal bank accounts of some corrupt civil servants and politicians.
Likewise, the recent detection of more than two hundred thousand ghost workers on the federal government payroll, which, by implication, means saving billions of naira that some unscrupulous civil servants have been systematically stealing over the years as purported salaries, allowances and other entitlements of such ghost workers, proves the efficiency of the Bank Verification Number (BVN) technology, which greatly facilitates President Buhari's anti-corruption drive.
In the same vein, billions more will certainly be saved once the 2016 budget is purged of the more than six thousand items fraudulently inserted in it by some crooked high- ranking civil servants, with a view to stealing the billions of naira allocated for the items. By the way, this particular scandal has confirmed that, budget padding has been perpetrated for long in the country, and that there are still many top government officials who are not prepared to comply with the change that President Buhari's presidency represents.
Anyway, these three instances, among many other instances, highlight how corrupt civil servants and politicians are nowadays finding it increasingly difficult to commit massive thefts with impunity. After all, even before the inauguration of the then President-elect Muhammadu Buhari following his election victory, many corrupt civil servants and politicians had begun to cut down on their extravagant spending particularly on landed properties and other tangible valuable assets, for fear of probe, knowing that he would definitely not condone, let alone partake in the theft of public funds.
Incidentally, contrary to the general assumption about Nigerians' particular tendency to indulge in profligate spending, the reality is that, it's the corrupt civil servants, politicians and their accomplices in the private sector who actually indulge in such recklessly spending, having taken stolen funds and indeed the continuation of the status quo of impunity, for granted.
They are, for instance, actually the owners of most of the luxury properties, exclusive neighbourhoods, mansions, and other landmark buildings in Abuja, Lagos and many other state capitals in the country.
Also, in addition to their acquisition of properties and huge investments in the United Kingdom, the United States or the United Arab Emirates etc, for instance, their extravagant spending on other things and services is particularly reckless, for obvious reason.
However, as the ongoing anti-corruption measures and economic reforms continue to gather momentum, such beneficiaries of the status quo are increasingly growing worried over their fate and indeed the fate of their illegally accumulated wealth. They are also worried that, without stolen public funds, and even if they manage to escape justice, they will no longer be able to maintain their habits of extravagant spending and lifestyle in the long run. This is despite the fact that most of them maintain various businesses also, which they have set up in the names of their respective fronts, and through which they seek to launder their illicit wealth, because, obviously, most of such businesses aren't viable enough to sustain themselves without the stolen public funds they are basically intended to launder.
The discontinuation of the supply of foreign exchange by the Central to Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to bureau de change (BDC) operators, for instance, has not only affected the Nigerian importers of foreign-made merchandize, but has also affected the spending attitude and purchasing power of many corrupt Nigerian civil servants and politicians travelling aboard. By the way, many, if not most, of such foreign exchange licenses are actually owned by civil servants, including the CBN officials, and politicians.
Interestingly enough, many wholesalers, retailers and different service providers in Dubai, for instance, are currently missing their Nigerian customers quite terribly. Some small and medium wholesalers of merchandise in particular, are particularly worried for fear that their businesses may not be able to survive in the absence of Nigerian customers who usually place orders for large quantities of goods to export to Nigeria. Many suppliers have therefore gone desperate contacting many Nigerian residents in Dubai and practically begging them to bring Nigerian customers to them in return for an attractive commission.
Anyway, now that the era of blatant plundering of the treasury with impunity is gradually coming to an end, the frustration of the unrepentantly corrupt and kleptomaniac civil servants and politicians is certainly getting worse, they are not likely to come to terms with the unfolding reality. They would certainly continue to undermine the ongoing anti-corruption drive with a view to frustrating the President.
In fact, being obviously hell-bent on maintaining the status-quo, they are prepared to go to any extent in this regard, considering their influence and sheer number, being unfortunately the majority in the civil service, the military and, of course, the political establishments.
This, therefore, underscores the need for President Buhari to remain particularly alert, identify and maintain trustworthy loyalists in the civil service, the military, other security agencies and among the political office holders also, on whom he can count to neutralize any attempt to undermine his anti-corruption drive and indeed his endeavour to turn things around in the country.

Matica slovenská (etwa "Slowakische(r) Stiftung/Verein", wörtlich "Slowakische Mutter") ist das nationale Kulturinstitut der Slowakei mit Sitz in Martin. Es wird zu einem großen Teil durch Spenden, staatliche Fördermittel, Sponsoren u. ä. finanziert.

Geschichte

Zeitraum 1863 bis 1918
Am 6. und 7. Juni 1861 trafen sich namhafte Vertreter der Slowaken in St. Martin an der Turz um ein von Štefan Marko Daxner ausgearbeitetes Dokument welches in die Geschichte als Memorandum der slowakischen Nation (slow. Memorandum národa slovenského) eingegangen ist, zu beschließen. Eine der Forderungen, die in diesem Dokument festgeschrieben wurde, war die Gründung eines slowakischen Kulturinstitutes, welches den Namen Matica slovenská  tragen sollte. Das Statut zu ihrer Gründung wurde bereits am 21. August 1862 durch Kaiser Franz Joseph I. genehmigt. Die Matica wurde am 4. August 1863 als Ausdruck des slowakischen nationalen Kulturbewusstseins als nationale Institution aller Slowaken gegründet. Mit der Gründungssitzung entstand einer der bedeutendsten Kulturvereine in der Geschichte der Slowaken. Erster Vorsitzender wurde der katholische Bischof Štefan Moyzes, sein Stellvertreter wurde der evangelische Bischof Karol Kuzmány.

Die Feierlichkeiten zur Eröffnung, an denen etwa 5000 Menschen teilnahmen, begannen mit einem Gottesdienst in der evangelischen Kirche und einer Hl. Messe in der römisch-katholischen Kirche von Martin. Danach kam es zu einer offiziellen Eröffnungssitzung die von Ján Francisci, als Eröffnungspräsident geleitet wurde. Francisci legte den Versammelten einen Bericht über die Sammelaktion vor, die einen Betrag von 94 000 Gulden – als Gründungskapital – einbrachte. Die neue Institution erhielt sogar von Kaiser Franz Joseph I. eine Spende von 1000 Gulden.

Bevor ein neues Vereinsgebäude gebaut werden konnte, hatte die Verwaltung des Institutes im sog. Beňuška-Haus ihre Verwaltungsbüros. Das neue Vereinsgebäude wurde vom Architekten Ján Nepomuk Bobula geplant, der Grundstein wurde dafür am 6. April 1864 gelegt. Die Bauarbeiten wurden Ende Juli 1865 beendet und die erste Sitzung im neuen Gebäude fand am 8. August 1865 statt. Das Gebäude wurde in klassizistischen Stil errichtet, hatte ursprünglich eine umbaute Fläche von 1189 m² und wurde nahezu ausschließlich aus Spenden der slowakischen Nation finanziert. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurde das Gebäude erweitert und umgebaut. In die Annalen der Matica slovenská ging es als "Erstes Gebäude" ein.
Im Deutschen Krieg wurde 1866 in der Schlacht bei Königgrätz Österreich von den Preußen vernichtend geschlagen. Nach dieser Niederlage sah sich das geschwächte Kaisertum Österreich genötigt innenpolitisch entsprechende Konsequenzen zu ziehen. Und so kam es zu den österreichisch-ungarischen Ausgleich, welcher zur Gründung Österreich-Ungarns führte und dadurch die Position der Ungarn innerhalb des Staates wesentlich stärkte. Aus dieser Position der Stärke heraus wurde die Matica durch den Erlass Nr. 125 vom 6. April 1875 des damaligen ungarischen Innenministers Kálmán Tisza wegen "zu starker slowakischer Gesinnung" geschlossen und ihr durch Spenden des Kaisers und der Slowaken gesammeltes Vermögen beschlagnahmt. Dem Institut wurden "panslawistische Umtriebe" vorgeworfen.

Zeitraum 1919 bis 1948
Nach der Entstehung der Tschechoslowakei wurde die Matica slovenská im Jahre 1919 neu aktiviert und arbeitete bis zur Entstehung der Slowakischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (1942) praktisch als Ersatz für diese Institution (die Matica hat u. a. die slowakische Sprache reguliert).

Zwischen 1924 und 1926 wurde das "Zweite Gebäude" der Matica nach Plänen des Architekten Ján Palkovič errichtet. Dieses Gebäude wurde 1964 zum 'Nationalen Kulturdenkmal' ernannt und ist heute der Hauptsitz des Instituts.

Die Tätigkeit der Matica slovenská wurde in der Zeit der Ersten Tschecho-Slowakischen Republik nicht besonders unterstützt, da die führenden tschechischen Politiker der damaligen Zeit T. G. Masaryk und Edvard Beneš Vertreter des sog. Tschechoslowakismus waren. Auch wurden die im Pittsburgher Vertrag getroffenen Vereinbarungen zum großen Teil von den Tschechen nicht eingehalten, berichten die Slovenské národné noviny das offizielle Presseorgan der Matica slovenská.

Zeitraum nach 1948

Nachdem die Kommunisten durch den Februarputsch 1948 in der Tschechoslowakei gewaltsam an die Macht gekommen waren, wurden die Aufgaben der Matica stark reduziert, so dass sie nur als eine Art Gesellschaft und Bibliothek zur Pflege der slowakischen Sprache arbeitete. Die traditionell "schlechten Beziehungen" zwischen der Matica und der Staatsführung setzten sich auch in der folgenden Zeit fort.

Ein Tiefpunkt wurde erreicht, als der damalige Staatspräsident der Tschechoslowakei Antonín Novotný eine Einladung nach Martin erhielt, um im August 1967 an den Feierlichkeiten der 100-jährigen Gründung des Slowakischen Gymnasiums in Martin teilzunehmen. Bei einem Empfang in der Matica slovenská beschimpfte er das Direktorium der Matica, als "bourgeoistische Nationalisten" (slow. buržoázni nacionalisti), und verbot seiner Ehefrau sogar die bei solchen Gelegenheiten üblichen Geschenke anzunehmen. Statt des ursprünglich vorgesehenen Besuches am Slowakischen Nationalfriedhof von Martin zog er einen Besuch bei einer Landwirtschaftlichen Produktionsgenossenschaft (slow. Jednotné roľnické družstvo, JRD) der Umgebung vor. Dadurch desavouierte er nicht nur die Führung der Matica, sondern auch große Teile der Slowaken fühlten sich durch dieses Verhalten beleidigt. Auch die Führung der damaligen slowakischen kommunistischen Partei unter Alexander Dubček wandte sich von ihm ab und sicherlich trug dieses Ereignis zu seinem Sturz im März 1968 bei und war einer der Gründe des Prager Frühlings.

Nachdem am 1. Januar 1969 eine föderale Ordnung innerhalb der Tschechoslowakei eingefügt wurde, erhielt auch das slowakische Traditionsinstitut Matica slovenská innerhalb der slowakischen Teilrepublik mehr Aufmerksamkeit.

Bereits zum 100-jährigen Gründungsjahr der Matica im Jahre 1963 gab es Überlegungen über einen Neubau. 1964 wurden Pläne von den Architekten Dušan Kuzma und Anton Cimmermann hierzu erstellt. Wegen politischer Querelen konnte der Bau des "Dritten Gebäudes" der Matica jedoch erst 1975 fertig gestellt werden. Als es im Jahre 2000 zur Trennung der Matica von der in diesem Gebäude residierenden Slowakischen Nationalbibliothek kam, wurde 2005 das Gebäude der Nationalbibliothek zugesprochen. Seither residiert die Matica slovenská im "Zweiten Gebäude" der 1920er Jahre.

Nach der Samtenen Revolution (1989) wurde der Aufgabenbereich des Kulturinstitutes nur teilweise erweitert.

Here Are Powerbeats Pro Vs. Galaxy Buds, Because Choosing Between Them Is Hard
By Amanda Fama
It looks like headphones with wires are becoming a thing of the past, y'all. I, personally, haven't purchased a pair of wireless earphones yet — but I'm currently scanning the market for a pair that's best for me. If you're doing the same thing, then you're probably curious about Powerbeats Pro versus Galaxy Buds. Both earphone options are brand spankin' new and completely wireless, but they're both different in their own unique ways. By learning more about those differences, you'll be able to figure out which ones suit your daily needs the most.
Before I get into detail about each pair, let's take it from the top. On Feb. 21, 2019, Samsung announced its Galaxy Buds in a press release. The wireless earphones — which are currently available on Samsung's website — boast a ton of features that are perfect for music lovers and on-the-go talkers alike (I'll get into those features soon, though).
Fast forward to April 3, 2019: Beats by Dr. Dre announced its new wireless earbuds, which are called Powerbeats Pro. Like Galaxy Buds, they're perfect for any busy bee who's constantly tuned into their devices, whether they're rocking out at the gym or tuning into a work call. However, like I said, both earphone options aren't identical. They do have similarities, but they're pretty different in the scheme of things.
Allow me to explain.
There's no question that Powerbeats Pro and Galaxy Buds have a lot in common. For instance, they each come in a variety of colors, you can use both of them to talk on the phone, and you can connect both of them to various devices via Bluetooth. In all, they do what wireless earphones should do: connect to your device, provide you with top-notch listening, and pick up your voice when you need 'em to. You know, the obvious necessities.
Still, the differences between each earphone option will help you decide which is best for your personal needs. With that being said, I'll start with the prices. Right now, Galaxy Buds are selling for $129.99 on Samsung's website. Powerbeats Pro, on the other hand, will be for sale on Beats' website for $249.95 starting in May. Yes, that's a big difference — but before you decide on the cheapest option, you should know more about each earphones' features and perks.
As you can see, Powerbeats Pro earphones look much different than Galaxy Buds. Sure, each option comes in different colors, but Powerbeats Pro earphones have an adjustable ear hook that you can use for secure listening. Galaxy Buds look like they'd fit into your ear securely, but there are no hooks involved. Still, both options are water resistant, so figure out which earphones are more comfortable for you.
Now that I've gotten price, color, and fit out of the way, I'll talk about charging. In my opinion, the major difference between these earphones is that Galaxy Buds have wireless charging capabilities, while Powerbeats Pro do not. However, keep in mind that the wireless charging case for Galaxy Buds will get you seven hours of fuel, while the Powerbeats Pro case will get you nine. With that being said, figure out how many hours of power you'll need daily and decide whether or not wireless charging is essential.
Samsung on YouTube
Another difference between Galaxy Buds and Powerbeats Pro is the "intelligent assistant" that each one is programmed for. Thanks to Apple's new H1 chip, you can activate Siri while using Powerbeats Pro. Galaxy Buds, on the other hand, can be used to communicate with Bixby, Samsung's virtual assistant. However, according to tech site iMore, Samsung's Galaxy Buds will pair with Siri for on-the-go listening — but users will likely miss out on a handful of Android features affiliated with the device.
With that being said, you have a lot to take into consideration before choosing between Powerbeats Pro and Galaxy Buds. Each option comes with desirable features — like wireless charging or stable ear hooks — so take those into consideration and decide which earphones are better for you.

Julia Roberts Daughter Is All Grown Up And Looks Like An Adorable Mini-Me Of The Oscar Winner
Sometimes we hear about children who look like their parents and we may see somewhat of a family resemblance. Every once in a while, however, the resemblance is so striking that it actually takes us by surprise. That is the case with Julia Roberts, who used to enjoy being one of the most popular movie stars on the planet. She won awards for her acting and she played in some of the biggest blockbusters that were out during the time.
Like many actors who were very famous at one time, she has now practically disappeared off the scene. We rarely ever hear anything about her or what she has been doing. She has played in a few movies recently but they don't rival what she did in the height of her career.
We do hear from her because of her social media profile. It is a rather unique opportunity to interact with celebrities and to follow them through their lives and their career. Roberts doesn't necessarily post on social media like many of the other celebrities.
For example, she may or may not own the Twitter page with her name and it does have over 500,000 followers. Up until this time, however, she has not posted anything to it.
You'll also not find a personal account on Instagram and it doesn't appear as if she is on Facebook publicly.
When Roberts did an interview with InStyle, she revealed that she didn't have much of an interest in social media. She feels that she has greater priorities than keeping her finger on the pulse of Hollywood.
"What's a good analogy? It's like people talking about a TV show: I can be perfectly aware of the TV show and the story, but it doesn't mean I watch it. I have other friends who watch it, and they tell me about it. I mean we were talking about Instagram. Everyone has Instagram on their phone. [if I had it], I would be looking at it all the time."
One thing that is known about Roberts is the fact that she has a good husband and three children who are a very big part of her life.
During the time when she was a big star in Hollywood, it always seemed as if she was in a relationship with actors that shared the screen with her. She was even married to Lyle Lovett for a brief amount of time.
Although that marriage didn't last, she did marry Daniel Moder, a cinematographer a number of years later.
They met when The Mexican was filming and were then married in 2002. They have been together for 16 years and seem very happy.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Robert said: "When I think about what makes my life my life, and make sense and just shine inside of me, it's him. Everything has come from that."
She gave birth to twins, Phinnaeus and Hazel in 2004. Their son Henry was born three years later.
Some celebrities post pictures of their children on social media frequently. Roberts doesn't tend to post any pictures.
Now that her children are older, we are beginning to learn a little more about them.
There's a reason why Roberts wanted to keep her children from the public eye. She explains:
"We try to protect our kids. We just want to have our family life and not have that intruded upon."
It was easy to identify Roberts when she was on the screen. That is why it doesn't come as a surprise that we can also recognize her daughter, Hazel. They share some of the same, distinct features.
Here are pictures of Hazel when she was young:
Now that she is 13, you can really see the resemblance:

Q: How to import CSS from node_modules in webpack angular2 app Let's say that we start with the following starter pack:
https://github.com/angularclass/angular2-webpack-starter
After npm install and npm run start everything works fine.
I want to add an external css module, for example bootstrap 4's css (and only the css). (I know that bootstrap has a bootstrap-loader, but now I'm asking for general solution, so please think about bootstrap 4 here as it could be any other css module that is available via npm).
I install bootstrap via npm: npm install bootstrap@4.0.0-alpha.4 --save
First I thought that it is enough to add import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'; to the vendor.browser.ts file.
But it isn't.
What should I do to have a proper solution?
Solutions I'm NOT asking for:

*

*"Copy the external css module to the assets folder, and use it from there"

*

*I'm looking for a solution that works together with npm package.

*"Use bootstrap-loader for webpack"

*

*As I described above, I'm looking for a general solution, bootstrap is only an example here.

*"Use another stack"

*I'm looking for a solution in the exact starter pack that I've mentioned above.

A: You won't be able to import any css to your vendors file using that stack, without making some changes.
Why? Well because this line:
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css';

It's only importing your css as string, when in reality what you want is your vendor css in a style tag. If you check config/webpack.commons.js you will find this rule:
 {
   test: /\.css$/,
   loaders: ['to-string-loader', 'css-loader']
 },

This rule allows your components to import the css files, basically this:
@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
  styleUrls: [
    './app.component.css' // this why you import css as string
  ],

In the AppComponent there's no encapsulation, because of this line encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None, which means any css rules will be applied globally to your app. So you can import the bootstrap styles in your app component:
@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
  styleUrls: [
    './app.component.css',
    '../../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
  ],

But if you insist in importing to your vendor.ts then you will need to install a new loader, npm i style-loader --save-dev this will allow webpack to inject css to your page. Then you need to create a specific rule, on your webpack.common.js and change the existing one:
 { //this rule will only be used for any vendors
   test: /\.css$/,
   loaders: ['style-loader', 'css-loader'],
   include: [/node_modules/]
 },
 {
   test: /\.css$/,
   loaders: ['to-string-loader', 'css-loader'],
   exclude: [/node_modules/] //add this line so we ignore css coming from node_modules
 },

The firs rule will be only applied when you try to import css, from any package inside node_modules the second rule will be applied to any css that you import from outside the node_modules

A: So here is a way to import various CSS files using the angular-cli which I find the most convenient.
Basically, you can refer to the CSS files (order is important if you will be overriding them) in the config and angular-cli will take care of the rest. For instance, you might want to include a couple of styles from node-modules, which can be done as follows:
"styles": [
    "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css",
    "../node_modules/primeng/resources/primeng.min.css",
    "styles.css"
  ]

A sample full-config might look like this:
.angular-cli.json
{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",
  "project": {
    "name": "my-angular-app"
  },
  "apps": [
    {
      "root": "src",
      "outDir": "dist",
      "assets": [
        "assets",
        "favicon.ico"
      ],
      "index": "index.html",
      "main": "main.ts",
      "polyfills": "polyfills.ts",
      "test": "test.ts",
      "tsconfig": "tsconfig.app.json",
      "testTsconfig": "tsconfig.spec.json",
      "prefix": "app",
      "styles": [
        "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css",
        "../node_modules/primeng/resources/primeng.min.css",
        "styles.css"
      ],
      "scripts": [],
      "environmentSource": "environments/environment.ts",
      "environments": {
        "dev": "environments/environment.ts",
        "prod": "environments/environment.prod.ts"
      }
    }
  ],
  "e2e": {
    "protractor": {
      "config": "./protractor.conf.js"
    }
  },
  "lint": [
    {
      "project": "src/tsconfig.app.json",
      "exclude": "**/node_modules/**"
    },
    {
      "project": "src/tsconfig.spec.json",
      "exclude": "**/node_modules/**"
    },
    {
      "project": "e2e/tsconfig.e2e.json",
      "exclude": "**/node_modules/**"
    }
  ],
  "test": {
    "karma": {
      "config": "./karma.conf.js"
    }
  },
  "defaults": {
    "styleExt": "scss",
    "component": {}
  }
}

A: It is possible by using @import '~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'; on the styles.css file. (Note the ~)
Edit: How it works - The '~' is an alias set on the webpack config pointing to the assets folder... simple as that..
Edit 2: Example on how to configure webpack with the '~' alias...
this should go on the webpack config file (usually webpack.config.js)...

// look for the "resolve" property and add the following...
// you might need to require the asset like '~/bootsrap/...'
resolve: {
  alias: {
    '~': path.resolve('./node_modules')
  }
}

This summer, Pennywise is tackling the financial questions involved going back to school. Today, we'll help you form the basis of your grad school budget, then in July and August, we'll take a look at your options for covering these expenses. Want us to cover something specific? Let us know in the comments section!
If you're planning to head back to grad school, you probably have a lot on your mind—not the least of which is how to afford tuition and living expenses on a reduced income. Unless you're going back to school part-time (or are extra fortunate in that your employer or school is footing the bill), it's going to be an adjustment to go back to a student budget.
That doesn't mean you have to make it through your program on ramen alone, though. By determining your anticipated expenses in advance, you can better prepare to afford them.
To help you get started, we've updated The Daily Muse Budget Template just for grad students. Read on to see what you need to take into account, both by month and by year, then build your budget by using the spreadsheet.
First, the big one. Your tuition costs will depend on your program and school. For instance, if you choose one of the top 10 business schools for your MBA studies, you can expect to pay over $50,000 per year, whereas if you're choosing a top 10 school for engineering, you have less costly options. Also remember that tuition tends to rise each year, so you may want to budget more for the later years in your program than you do for the first.
Your school may have additional financial resources for you as well, such as fellowships, scholarships, and stipends for research or teaching. Make a note of both cost and income involved in your specific program.
These will also vary depending on your program of study, but your department or program can likely share an estimate of what you should expect to spend. But also look beyond the bare necessities: Do you need a new computer? (Or would you be able to replace your current one if it goes down while you're working on your dissertation?) What about additional study guides or software?
Especially if you're moving to a new city, you'll need to do some research about what an accurate housing budget will be. What can you expect to pay—and what will that get you? Do you want to live in student housing or off-campus? Alone or with a roommate? Check out your school's website for housing resources in the area, and don't discount roommate search sites or Craigslist.
Check with your new landlord to find out which utilities are included and what you'll need to chip in extra for. Don't forget your cell phone and internet bills!
How will you get around? Your transportation budget might look different than it does now if you're moving: In the city, you can rely on public transportation, biking, or walking; in the suburbs, you probably want a car.
Do you have insurance already, or can you get it through your school? Estimate how much you can expect to spend on insurance, then also budget for doctor and dentist visits and prescriptions.
Do you have debt you need to tackle? While you may be able to defer some of your undergraduate loans, you'll still have to pay on any private loans or credit card bills.
Even if you don't currently keep a strict budget, you likely have a rough idea of how much you spend on groceries and eating out each week. Unless you're moving to a region with a higher or lower cost of living, this number should remain consistent. Keep in mind, though, that a busier schedule may make you rely on more fast food and to-go coffee, which will have effects on your wallet.
Don't forget the other miscellaneous expenses that are unique to you! Decide how much you can reasonably budget for expenses like clothes, household items, entertainment, and travel.
Now that you have your budget outlined, it's time to decide how you'll afford those expenses. Join us next month to look into ways to cover these costs, including student loans.


I don't want my Blog to be just about an exhibition of artists, especially only ones I'm interested in. I want to have variety of information including the unexpected. And sometimes I will make it a bit personal so that you better understand me and my background.
I admit that I'm always shocked when I meet someone who says, "I'm not interested in art." To me it's a bit like saying, "I'm not interested in food." So what is the impetus to someone wanting to paint (or not), but definitely being interested in art in its many forms?
The walls of our house were painted olive greens and mustard colours and plastered with images from the Dutch and Flemish masters' portfolios. It is little wonder I love these painters though I wasn't too keen on the Laughing Cavalier by Frans Hals hanging above my bed! My uncle (a fashion shoe designer) who lived in England after the WW11 introduced me to the English artist Lawrence Lowry and passed on his Lowry prints to me in my teens.
But was this interest fostered at school? Oh no! I remember one art teacher suggesting he burn my paintings! I wonder if he would get away with it in today's education culture? Another art teacher was a member of the Communist Party and her sister ran the Communist book shop in Bendigo (my home town). We thought it would help our marks if we painted everything red- red gum trees, people wearing red clothes, red houses, everything was red.
Outside home we were also surrounded by art. The Bendigo Art Gallery is now of international reputation but it has always been an outstanding gallery which we frequently visited growing up.
So those of you who belong to my young subscribers, plan next holidays to take your children to a gallery. Of course we have locally the brilliant Monash Gallery of Art which is fabulous and constantly exhibiting interesting artists, photographers, and scuptors. And the National Gallery of Victoria is of course superb. I'm about to visit to view the Triennial Exhibition which I believe is excellent featuring the work of over 100 artists and designers from 32 countries, covering art and design, across cultures, scales, geographies and perspectives.
So, you can see, a very eclectic taste.
favourite gallery. Anywhere in the world.

We all want Star Wars VR. These guys want to make it a reality.
When the Wii was announced, all of us wanted a lightsaber combat game. When the Oculus Rift was announced, all of us wanted an X-Wing and Tie Fighter revival in the style of EVE Valkyrie that made us feel like a pilot in the Galactic Civil War.
About what you'd expect: tons of iconic sequences from the original trilogy from a first person perspective. The big moments include confronting Vader in the carbon freezing chamber on Bespin, piloting an X-Wing at the Battle of Yavin, bringing down AT-ATs at the Battle of Hoth, and the speeder bike chase on Endor.
We also caught a glimpse of a Rancor in there, so it's probably safe to say the developers intend to put that scene in the full game in some capacity.
Do the developers have a full game in mind?
We're not entirely sure. It may just be a compilation game that lets you experience the greatest moments of the saga from a first person perspective, but we sincerely hope they have more in mind than that. Many complaints regarding several Star Wars games is that they only recreate many scenes from the films (seriously, how many times have we played the Battle of Hoth?), which is why titles such as Knights of the Old Republic and Tie Fighter are so beloved.
However, it's important to keep in mind that this is a tech demo meant to stir up interest in a potential project. If you want people to invest in your Star Wars game, recreating iconic scenes from the films is a pretty safe (albeit standard) way to go.
What game do you wish they'd make?
We're fairly certain everyone would cry rivers of nerd tears if a proper X-Wing or Tie Fighter sequel were announced that had Oculus Rift support. Imagine being a pilot after the events of the Battle of Endor on the side of the New Republic, fighting to liberate planets from the Empire culminating in the Battle of Jakku. Then we could have a sequel campaign about the birth of The First Order and their military campaigns to recapture the former glory of Palpatine's Empire.
Of course, this is all just wishful thinking.
What are the chances this will become a full game?
That really depends on the reaction to the trailer. If an online revolution forms with hundreds of thousands of supporters in favor of making this a real game, there's a good chance EA may consider it. If not, well, it was a very nice idea with a spiffy trailer behind it.

The Myth of an Irish Cinema
Approaching Irish-Themed Films
Michael Patrick Gillespie
Hardcover $39.95x | 9780815631682Add to cart
Subjects: Irish studies, film
For the past seventy years the discipline of film studies has widely invoked the term national cinema. Such a concept suggests a unified identity with distinct cultural narratives. As the current debate over the meaning of nation and nationalism has made thoughtful readers question the term, its application to the field of film studies has become the subject of recent interrogation. In The Myth of an Irish Cinema, Michael Patrick Gillespie presents a groundbreaking challenge to the traditional view of filmmaking, contesting the existence of an Irish national cinema. Given the social, economic, and cultural complexity of contemporary Irish identity, Gillespie argues, filmmakers can no longer present Irishness as a monolithic entity.
The book is arranged thematically, with chapters exploring cinematic representation of the middle class, urban life, rural life, religion, and politics. Offering close readings of Irish-themed films, Gillespie identifies a variety of interpretative approaches based on the diverse elements that define national character. Covering a wide range of films, from John Ford's The Quiet Man and Kirk Jones's Waking Ned Devine to Bob Quinn's controversial Budawanny and The Bishop's Story, The Myth of an Irish Cinema signals a paradigm shift in the field of film studies and promises to reinvigorate dialogue on the subject of national cinema.
Michael Patrick Gillespie is the Louise Edna Goeden Professor of English at Marquette University. He is the author of The Aesthetics of Chaos: Nonlinear Thinking and Contemporary Literary Criticism, "Ulysses" and the American Reader, and Reading William Kennedy, the latter published by Syracuse University Press.
Series: Irish Studies

There's Big Business In The 50+ Moviegoing Demo, Especially During Oscar Season: Study
By Anthony D'Alessandro

Hey exhibitors — are you listening?
A recent Movio/AARP study recently highlighted that the 50+ age group is one of the more devoted moviegoing demos, particularly during Oscar season. During the period of Jan. 1, 2016-Feb. 5, 2017, those 50 and over repped 56% of the crowd for Oscar-nominated movies versus a 20% turnout for blockbusters.
Distributors, particularly those with upscale arthouse fare, often gripe that theater owners just don't get it: The 50+ demo, though slow to show up during a film's first weekend, eventually do make it to the cinema, thus yielding high multiples for movies. Too often, exhibitors are quick to push an older-skewing title out of auditoriums –even if the film is earning good money– for a new wide release, even if that movie is only going to last two weeks in the theater.
Those Oscar nominees that clicked with the 50+ crowd include Weinstein Co.'s Lion (76%), Amazon/Roadside Attraction's Manchester by the Sea (71%), CBS' Hell or High Water (64%), Paramount's Fences (61% — which also led with African American moviegoers at 30%), and 20th Century Fox's Hidden Figures (58%). The Ted Melfi-directed movie also drew a similar amount of African Americans into the cinema as A24's Moonlight at 21%.
In addition, the study assessed the top best picture nominees among men and women. Even with its mother-daughter-centered story, Paramount's Arrival was tops with guys at 63%. That finding also correlates with the sci-fi pic's opening weekend polls which showed a 57% turnout among men on PostTrak and 52% on CinemaScore. Hell or High Water at 60% was the second choice among men followed by Lionsgate's Hacksaw Ridge at 58%. Women flocked to Lion (57%), Lionsgate/Summit's La La Land (56%), and Manchester by the Sea (54%).
Separately, focusing on one movie, Moonlight, the study reported that 60% 50+ folk bought tickets to the Barry Jenkins' title following its best picture drama win at the Golden Globes and its eight Oscar nominations versus 40% prior.
The rest of the chart is below:

Dispositivo semicondutor é um componente eletrônico que explora as propriedades eletrônicas de materiais semicondutores, principalmente silício, germânio, e arseneto de gálio, assim como semicondutores orgânicos. Dispositivos semicondutores têm substituído dispositivos termiônicos (tubos de vácuo) na maioria das aplicações. Eles usam condução no estado sólido em oposição ao estado gasoso ou emissão termiônica no alto vácuo.

Dispositivos semicondutores são manufaturados tanto em dispositivos únicos discretos como em circuitos integrados (CIs), os quais consistem de um número variando de uns poucos (tão baixo quanto dois) a bilhões de dispositivos fabricados e interconectados sobre um substrato semicondutor único.

A principal razão porque materiais semicondutores são tão úteis é que o comportamento de um semicondutor pode ser facilmente manipulado pela adição de impurezas, o que é conhecido como "dopagem (a adição de um "dopante"). A condutividade de semicondutores pode ser controlada pela introdução de um campo elétrico, pela exposição à luz, e também pressão e calor; então, semicondutores podem produzir excelentes sensores. A condução de corrente em um semicondutor ocorre via elétrons móveis ou "livres" e buracos electrónicos, coletivamente conhecidos como portadores de carga.

Concerned about your bank account after the holiday season? Very often, we feel that we are trapped by the past financial decisions we have made. This is problematic because our past behaviours do not have to dictate our financial future.
Our emotions and daily behaviours are important contributors to our financial situation. The easier we can make our regular spending and saving habits, the easier it will be to take control of our cash flow. Establishing an underlying 'why' for making this shift in spending can also help us remain committed to changing our everyday actions.
We outline several financial mindset shifts here which can be incorporated into your daily life.
The majority of our monthly spending goes towards housing, transportation, and food. Although it can be tempting to skimp on little purchases like a cup of coffee, this will not yield the biggest financial impact.
To reduce your grocery store bill, you might decide to meal plan your week in advance. This is a fantastic way to save money. If you know ahead of time what you are planning to eat each day, you can adhere to a weekly food budget. It makes it less likely that you will purchase food impulsively or buy meals out.
If you have fitness on your list of New Year's resolutions – bicycling to work may be a great option for you! Not only will this help to increase your fitness level, it will also reduce the expenses associated with gas and car maintenance. You might even be able to reduce the number of cars in your household.
Money has become increasingly less tangible for our society. We bank online and swipe our credit cards for purchases which we may later regret.
One mindset shift which can contribute to a reduction in spending is equating your spending patterns with units of time. For example, calculate how many hours of your work week would be devoted to purchasing a new 65″ TV screen for $800. Ask yourself whether or not this purchase still seems worth your time.
This forces you to pause before purchasing and gives your spending a tangible link back to your income.
Self-reflection and honesty with yourself is one way to help shift your spending mindset. What gives you the most enjoyment in life? This question might prompt you to cancel out memberships or subscriptions which are not giving you what you need.
Additionally, it might mean that you say 'no' to requests from friends more often. Saying 'yes' to every ask that comes your way can generate a lot of unwanted stress as well as increase your monthly expenditures.
When attempting to make these mindset shifts, knowing your underlying 'why' is important. For example, the money that you save through altering your behaviours might contribute to a healthy savings account which can be used to reach big life goals, such as a wedding or a long-desired trip.
Remember that your past spending behaviours do not have to dictate your financial future. There are plenty of small changes you can make each day to reduce your spending levels. Start your new year off with a fresh outlook to see your savings account grow!

L'Orgburo del Comitato centrale del Partito Comunista di tutta l'Unione (bolscevico), , lett. Ufficio organizzativo del CC del PCU(b), fu un organismo interno al Comitato centrale del Partito bolscevico, esistente fra il 1919 e il 1952.

Storia

L'Orgburo, che veniva eletto dal plenum del Comitato centrale, fu istituito nel 1919, inizialmente in una formazione di tre membri, Michail Vladimirskij, Nikolaj Krestinskij e Jakov Sverdlov, ma già due mesi più tardi il CC ridefinì l'organismo, che passò a cinque elementi, tra cui Stalin. L'Ufficio svolgeva un ruolo amministrativo, supervisionava il lavoro dei comitati locali del partito ed aveva il potere di selezionarne i quadri.

Fin dall'inizio si ebbe una sovrapposizione tra Orgburo e Politburo, con diversi importanti membri del PCUS che facevano parte contemporaneamente di entrambi gli organismi (ad esempio Stalin, Molotov, Kaganovič), e l'Ufficio politico aveva il potere di annullare le decisioni di quello organizzativo. Nonostante questo, soprattutto negli anni venti, l'Orgburo riuscì a conservare autonomia e potere.

Con il tempo le funzioni dell'Ufficio organizzativo andarono a coincidere con quelle della Segreteria. Con l'aumentare del potere di questa svuotò di significato il ruolo dell'Orgburo, che venne definitivamente abolito durante la riorganizzazione del PCUS attuata nel 1952.

REVEALED: Michael Gove and David Cameron end their three-year feud over whisky and wine at exclusive private members' club in Mayfair
Former Prime Minister David Cameron vowed never to speak again to Mr Gove
The pair buried the hatchet over drinks at an exclusive private members' club
Michael Gove narrowly missed reaching the final two in the Tory leadership race
By Glen Owen for The Mail on Sunday
The three-year feud between David Cameron and Michael Gove has been resolved after the two men buried the hatchet over whisky sodas and red wine at an exclusive private members' club, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The former Prime Minister had vowed never to speak again to Mr Gove after he helped lead the Brexit campaign against him.
He had even described his former friend as a 'lunatic' for betraying him by joining forces with Boris Johnson in the Vote Leave camp.
The lavish bar at 5 Hertford Street, where David Cameron and Michael Gove, pictured, had their 'summit'. Mr Gove served as Education Secretary, chief whip and Justice Secretary under Cameron before he shocked his friend by backing Brexit
But last Monday evening the two men met in the cigar room to smooth things over at 5 Hertford Street, a £2,500-a-year private members' club frequented by royalty and oligarchs in London's affluent Mayfair.
After they adjourned to the drawing room, officials at the club agreed to clear the room of all other members so they could hold their 'summit' in secret.
The meeting comes after Mr Gove narrowly missed reaching the final two in the Tory leadership race when his campaign was rocked by revelations of his cocaine use two decades ago.
Mr Cameron forgave Mr Johnson for his role in the Brexit campaign soon after the 2016 referendum.
The former Prime Minister had vowed never to speak again to Mr Gove after he helped lead the Brexit campaign against him. He had even described his former friend as a 'lunatic' for betraying him by joining forces with Boris Johnson in the Vote Leave camp
Allies of Mr Gove had claimed that the 'double standard' of Mr Cameron not bearing a grudge against Mr Johnson was because of the 'class issue'. Both men are Old Etonians.
As recently as last month, friends of both Mr Gove and Mr Cameron were insisting that there was 'no sign of a thaw' in their relations.
Leaving the EU is 'more vital than climate change' says poll... Boris says Britain will get its mojo back months after...
But a source said: 'They swept into the room just after 6pm, chatting like old friends.
'Cameron was on the whisky sodas and Gove was on the red. When they made it clear that they needed a private space to talk, the staff cleared the room immediately.'

The pair are pictured together in early 2010. Allies of Mr Gove had claimed that the 'double standard' of Mr Cameron not bearing a grudge against Mr Johnson was because of the 'class issue'. Both men are Old Etonians
He then performed an even more spectacular betrayal by knifing Mr Johnson two hours before the launch of their 'dream ticket' for the Tory leadership.
The schism with Mr Cameron was abrupt and painful: their families used to holiday together and Mr Gove's wife, the Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine, is godmother to Mr Cameron's youngest daughter.
Mr Gove had privately expressed sorrow at the breakdown in relations.
As Theresa May's Environment Secretary, Mr Gove has worked assiduously to try to repair his reputation by displaying conspicuous loyalty to the Prime Minister over her failed Brexit deal.
Mr Cameron is being paid a reported £800,000 to write about his time in No 10 with the book due out in the autumn.
Surprise backer for Osborne
A Boris Johnson Government would back ex-Chancellor George Osborne's bid to head the International Monetary Fund, even though he campaigned to stay in the EU, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The vacancy at the Washington-based global finance watchdog has emerged after present boss Christine Lagarde was nominated to lead the European Central Bank, prompting 'friends' of Mr Osborne to tell the Financial Times he was interested in the job.
Mr Osborne, currently editor of the London Evening Standard, would be the first Briton to head the body, which fosters economic co-operation between 189 member countries, since it began in 1945.
A Minister in Mr Johnson's team said: 'It is a massive coup for Brexit Britain to even have him as a credible candidate and he would be brilliant.'
The Evening Standard has endorsed Mr Johnson as the next Tory leader and Prime Minister, saying he was 'the candidate who might just get Britain feeling good about itself again'.
Both Mr Cameron and his ex-Chancellor, George Osborne, have denied persistent rumours they are considering a joint political comeback, either in the Commons or the Lords.
The 5 Hertford Street club was where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle enjoyed their first date, and – as The Mail on Sunday revealed a fortnight ago – is also where Nigel Farage held a summit with Boris-backing Tory MPs to discuss an electoral 'pact' over Brexit to try to prevent a Jeremy Corbyn government.
A spokesman for Mr Gove said: 'We do not comment on private meetings'. And Mr Cameron's spokesman declined to comment.

Press Release: 15 December 2016
A New Affordable Home in Time for Christmas: Deputy Mayor Hands Over Keys to Lucky Lewisham Resident
Today (15.12.16) the Deputy Mayor of Lewisham Cllr Alan Smith will present a local first time buyer with the keys to their new affordable flat at Pocket's first scheme in Lewisham on Marischal Road, near Lewisham Station.
Caseworker Sanketa Shetty, 27, purchased her Pocket flat for £230,000 – 20% below the Lewisham average – after renting for three years. She will be moving into her new home in time for Christmas.
Cllr Smith also gave Sanketa a Christmas tree to help her kick start the festive season and welcome her to her new home.
On average the buyers at Pocket's Marischal Road development earn £36,000 and are just 32 years old. They all previously lived in Lewisham, and about half of them are working in South London and in the public and charity sectors.
All 25 flats at the Marischal Road development are now reserved. In the Spring, Pocket is launching its second Lewisham development of 30 affordable flats on Arklow Road in Deptford. They will be completed by the end of 2017 and are reserved for first time buyers who live or work in the London Borough of Lewisham. Potential buyers must also have a household income under the Mayor of London's affordable housing threshold.
First time buyer Sanketa Shetty said:
"I'm absolutely thrilled be moving into my own home in time for Christmas. It's a dream come true. I'm in the borough that I want to live in and I'm a property owner.
I've been renting in South London for years but without Pocket I wouldn't stand a chance of buying somewhere around here. It's great knowing that I can now put down roots and stay in an area that I love.
The Pocket team have been very helpful throughout the entire process of buying my first home! I feel very fortunate."
Deputy Mayor of Lewisham Cllr Alan Smith said:
"Lewisham Council is dedicated to tackling the housing crisis and finding new and innovative ways of helping people into affordable home ownership.
I'm pleased that we've been able to work closely with Pocket to deliver these wonderful new homes for local people in Lewisham and that they will continue to be affordable for future generations.
I'm sure Sanketa and all her neighbours will be very happy in their new homes."
Pocket CEO Marc Vlessing said:
"What better gift for Christmas than to move into your new home? We're delighted for all the new Pocket homeowners at Marischal Road and hope they settle in well.
"We will continue to work closely with the Mayor and Lewisham Council to find innovative ways of helping even more local people to own their own home."


Electric car company Tesla announces launch of new solar-powered roof tiles as company ramps up for possible merger with SolarCity. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) STORY: Tesla Motors Chief Executive Elon Musk on Friday (October 28) unveiled new energy products aimed at illustrating the benefits of combining his electric car and battery maker with solar installer SolarCity Corp. The products include solar-powered roof tiles that eliminate the need for traditional panels and longer-lasting batteries aimed at helping to realize Musk's vision of selling a fossil fuel free lifestyle to consumers. "The goal is to make, to have electric, you know, solar roofs that look better than a normal roof, generate electricity, last longer, better insulation and actually have cost and installed cost that is less than a normal roof plus the cost for electricity," Musk said during an event to showcase the products at the Universal Studios theme park near Los Angeles. "This is sort of the integrated future. An electric car, a Powerwall and a solar roof. The key is it needs to be beautiful, affordable and seamlessly integrated," said Musk. During the presentation Musk said that local power generation does not pretend to eliminate the need for utility power generation. Tesla gave little detail on cost, except to say that the cost of the roof would be less than a conventional roof plus solar. The product will appeal to home builders and people looking to replace their roofs. "You can imagine over time as people replace their roofs with solar roofs that the whole neighborhoods, everyone would have solar, like, why wouldn't you?" said Musk. Musk is the biggest shareholder in both Tesla and SolarCity, which is run by two of his first cousins. Analysts have been dubious of the deal's proposed synergies, with some suggesting the merger is a way for Tesla to rescue money-losing SolarCity. A vote on the acquisition is scheduled for November 17.
