Osteopathy as a career
A brief history of osteopathy
Osteopathy was founded in the late 1800s by Andrew Taylor Still, an American physician and surgeon who viewed the body as having the natural ability to recover from ill health when functioning effectively.
He developed an approach that integrated manual techniques to affect body function so as to enable the body to 'restore health'.
This approach officially became known as 'osteopathy' in 1885, and in 1892 Still formed the American School of Osteopathy in Kirkville, USA, to teach others his methodologies.
Osteopathy came to Britain in 1913, when one of Still's early students, John Martin Littlejohn, returned to London to practice and with the aim of setting up 'a standard of osteopathic science, to show the public what the science is and to clinically demonstrate its efficiency'. He established the first osteopathic school in the country, the British School of Osteopathy, in 1917, and served as Dean of the School for 40 years.
Since those early days osteopathy has evolved significantly, informed by experience and research, to become an internationally practiced profession, recognised by the World Health Organisation and other international bodies. UCO graduates have helped to profoundly influence the development and future of osteopathy in the UK and worldwide, as practitioners, educators, researchers and representatives of the profession.

Work on yourself
By AlinaX
How to get rid of malice
There are people who have problems friends, acquaintances and even relatives are not a very good feeling – Schadenfreude. Yes, they feel ashamed to admit it to yourself, but that someone left the family, or sitting without a penny, they experience a real pleasure. How to stop to gloat at those moments when people fall into difficult circumstances?
How not to be angry and envious
How to get rid of feelings of pity
How to stop being jealous
Gloating is hardly the best source of worldly pleasures. From this sense better to get rid of. Immediately, of course, does not work, you will have to do the work for a while, but it will bring only benefits.
The first is to try to expand the circle of acquaintances, trying to communicate more with completely opposite people. The difference can cause hostility and rejection, but it is only in the beginning. Later replaced by understanding, maybe even sympathy. Such contacts help the person to develop the ability to see the world through different eyes, give conscious experience of empathy. Psychologists call this empathy.
To help change for the better can and classic literature. Just enough to get a list of the most outstanding works and to find time for "Dating" them. It should be understood that a mystical adventure of pop will not be useful.
We are talking about the true literary classics: Dostoevsky, Bulgakov, Chekhov, Shakespeare, Wilde, Dickens. Active communication, backed by proper books in a year and a half will give the desired result. With the advent of interest in other people gloating will gradually begin to recede.

MSP Consolidation: Gordon Flesch Expands MSP Business With ITP Acquisition
Gordon Flesch Company, or GFC, a 60-plus-year-old technology solution provider that entered the MSP business seven years ago, has more than doubled its headcount and greatly expanded its services capabilities with its ITP acquisition.
By Joseph F. Kovar February 18, 2020, 05:41 PM EST
Office technology solution provider and MSP Gordon Flesch Company on Tuesday made a significant expansion of its managed services practices with the acquisition of fellow Madison, Wisc.-based Information Technology Partners.
The acquisition more than doubles the headcount of Gordon Flesch Company, or GFC, from 30 people to 70 people, and brings it some unique services capabilities it can offer to its large midwestern client base.
GFC was founded in 1956, and has grown to be a major provider of office technology solutions from South Dakota to Ohio, and counts Canon, Ricoh, and Lexmark among its primary vendor partners, said Jeff Dotzler, vice president of the company's GFConsulting Group.
[Related: Selling An MSP Business? Here's Everything You Should Know]
Both GFC and ITP are family-owned businesses, and declined to discuss the acquisition price.
GFC started its own MSP practice from scratch about seven years ago with a focus on the Continuum MSP platform, Dotzler told CRN.
"ITP gives a big boost of momentum for us," he said. "We're now working with a company that has figured out where the potholes are and how to avoid them."
ITP Owner Paul Hager told CRN that his organization brings GFC a couple of important unique capabilities that will help it quickly expand its MSP business.
They include Tier-1 Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider status as well as a well-established hyper-converged infrastructure practice built around two key partners, San Jose, Calif.-based Nutanix and Indianapolis, Ind.-based Scale Computing, Hager said.
"As our reach into the Microsoft cloud stack grows, it will be better for all of us and our customers," he said.
ITP was founded in 2003. Hager joined the company about 10 years ago, and five years later purchased it. Going forward, he said, he will be GFC's director of solutions responsible for pre-sales to delivery of services across the Midwest.
ITP is GFC's third acquisition in the last year. The company in September acquired a Canon dealership in Iowa, and followed up in December with the acquisition of a Canon dealer in Indiana. ITP, its third acquisition, is the first of an MSP, Dotzler said.
The two companies have known each other and competed for many of the same customers in the Madison, Milwaukee, and Appleton areas, where both have offices.
"There were a few deals that went one way or the other over the years," Hager said.
Dotzler said that there are synergies in the deal that spring from having offices in those three cities as well as from working with many of the same vendors including Continuum and Autotask.
This could include some office consolidation, but will not include a big change in personnel, he said.
"Gordon Flesch's goal in any acquisition is to find the right spot for as many people as possible," he said. "We've looked at this and we don't see a lot of overlap. There's not enough redundancies to expect big changes. ... We'll be looking at best practices in both organizations and applying them across both systems. Our go-to-market strategies are similar."
GFC's growth as a managed service provider, which is now being accelerated with its ITP acquisition, comes at a time when its print business is still growing in a market that overall is not, Dotzler said.
"That market in total is not growing," he said. "But our share is continuing to grow organically, with acquisitions, and with our close relationships with two market leaders, Canon and Ricoh. The market is seeing a drop in printing pages and devices, but we are continuing to grow. It's no secret that at some point there will be a challenge when the overall pie stops growing."

Dubai: Indian and Pakistan armies worked together in a rare humanitarian case of boy who drowned in a river in Pakistan side of Kashmir and found from Indian side.
Following father's appeal, an Indian army came into action and started the procedure to hand over the boy's body to Pakistan army.
Body of an eight-year-old boy Abid Shaikh who drowned in a river in Pakistan administrated Kashmir, was fished out across the Line of Control (LOC) from the river in Indian Administered Kashmir on July 8.
According to report, the boy had drowned in Neelum River in Minimarg area of Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan administered Kashmir and his body was recovered in Kishenganga River (Name of Neelum River on India side) in Gurez valley.
Though at least three attempts by the Indian army to hand over the body to Pakistan army failed as the latter had refused to take the body, Indian army was determined to send the body to the parents who live across the LOC.
Finally, after three days of continuous efforts, Indian authorities succeeded in handing over the body to Pakistan army. An official said that lengthy process to identify the body took some time in receiving the body.
An official told local media that the body was handed over to Pakistan army by the officials of the district administration Bandipora, police and Indian Army at Dudgai Post Chorwan.
Deputy Commissioner Bandipora, Shahbaz Mirza said that army officials gave back the body at 2 pm on Thursday.
"Following appeals posted by the father of the boy on the social media, three attempts were made yesterday (Tuesday) to hand over the body to the Pakistan Army, but they initially refused to take it back," police sources told media.

This document describes a protocol for asking an IPv6 node to supply
certain network information, such as its hostname or fully-qualified
domain name.  IPv6 implementation experience has shown that direct
queries for a hostname are useful, and a direct query mechanism for
other information has been found useful in serverless environments
and for debugging.

This document specifies a mechanism for discovering information about
names and addresses.  The applicability of these mechanisms is
currently limited to diagnostic and debugging tools and network
management (e.g. node discovery).  In the global internet, the Domain
Name System[1][2] is the authoritative source of such information and
this specification is not intended to supplant or supersede it.  And
in fact, in a well-supported network, the names and addresses dealt
with by this mechanism will be the same ones, and with the same
relationships, as those listed in the DNS.
This new Node Information protocol does provide facilities which are
not found in the DNS - for example discovering relationships between
addresses without reference to names.  And the functions that do
overlap with the DNS may be useful in serverless environments, for
debugging, or in regard to link-local and unique-local addresses [3]
which often will not be listed in the DNS.
2.  Applicability Statement
IPv6 Node Information Queries include the capability to provide
forward and reverse name lookups independent of the DNS by sending
packets directly to IPv6 nodes or groups of nodes.
The applicability of these mechanisms is currently limited to
diagnostic and debugging tools and network management (e.g. node
discovery).  These mechanisms can be used to learn the addresses and
names for nodes on the other end of a point-to-point link or nodes on
a shared-medium link such as an Ethernet.  This is very useful when
debugging problems or when bringing up IPv6 service where there isn't
global routing or DNS name services available.  IPv6's large auto-
configured addresses make debugging network problems and bringing up
IPv6 service difficult without these mechanisms.  An example of an
IPv6 debugging tool using IPv6 Node Information Queries is the ping6
program in the KAME (<http://www.kame.net>), USAGI, and other IPv6
The mechanisms defined in this document may have wider applicability
in the future, but any use beyond debugging and diagnostic tools is
left for further study and is beyond the scope of this document.
3.  Terminology
A "Node Information (or NI) Query" message is sent by a "Querier"
node to a "Responder" node in an ICMPv6 packet addressed to the
"Queried Address."  The Query concerns a "Subject Address" (which may
differ from the Queried Address and may be an IPv6 or IPv4 address)
or a "Subject Name".  The Responder sends a "Node Information Reply"
to the Querier, containing information associated with the node at
the Queried Address.  A node receiving an NI Query will be termed a
Responder even if it does not send a reply.
The word "name" in this document refers to a hostname with or without
the domain.  Where necessary, the cases of fully-qualified and
single-label names will be distinguished.
document are to be interpreted as described in [4].
Packet fields marked "unused" must be zero on transmission and, aside
from inclusion in checksums or message integrity checks, ignored on
reception.
4.  Node Information Messages
Two types of Node Information messages, the NI Query and the NI
Reply, are carried in ICMPv6 [5] packets.  They have the same format.
|     Type      |     Code      |           Checksum            |
|             Qtype             |             Flags             |
+                             Nonce                             +
/                             Data                              /
Figure 1: Node Information Messages
o  Type
*  139 - NI Query
*  140 - NI Reply
o  Code
*  For NI Query
+  0 - Indicates that the Data field contains an IPv6 address
which is the Subject of this Query.
+  1 - Indicates that the Data field contains a name which is
the Subject of this Query, or is empty, as in the case of a
NOOP.
*  For NI Reply
+  0 - Indicates a successful reply.  The Reply Data field may
or may not be empty.
+  1 - Indicates that the Responder refuses to supply the
answer.  The Reply Data field will be empty.
+  2 - Indicates that the Qtype of the Query is unknown to the
Responder.  The Reply Data field will be empty.
o  Checksum - The ICMPv6 checksum.
o  Qtype - A 16-bit field which designates the type of information
requested in a Query or supplied in a Reply.  Its value in a Reply
is always copied from the corresponding Query by the Responder.
Five values of Qtype are specified in this document.
o  Flags - Qtype-specific flags which may be defined for certain
Query types and their Replies.  Flags not defined for a given
Qtype must be zero on transmission and ignored on reception, and
must not be copied from a Query to a Reply unless so specified in
the definition of the Qtype.
o  Nonce - An opaque 64-bit field to help avoid spoofing and/or to
aid in matching Replies with Queries.  Its value in a Query is
chosen by the Querier.  Its value in a Reply is always copied from
the corresponding Request by the Responder.
o  Data - In a Query, the Subject Address or Name.  In a Reply,
Qtype-specific data present only when the ICMPv6 Code field is
zero.  The length of the Data may be inferred from the IPv6
header's Payload Length field [2460], the length of the fixed
portion of the NI packet and the lengths of the ICMPv6 header and
intervening extension headers.
Note that the type of information present in the Data field of a
Query is declared by the ICMP Code, while the type of information, if
any, in the Data field of a Reply is determined by the Qtype.
When the Subject of a Query is a name, the name MUST be in DNS wire
format [2].  The name may be either a fully-qualified domain name,
including the terminating zero-length label, or a single DNS label
followed by two zero-length labels.  Since a Query contains at most
one name, DNS name compression MUST NOT be used.
5.  Message Processing
The Querier constructs an ICMP NI Query and sends it to the address
from which information is wanted.  When the Subject of the Query is
an IPv6 address, that address will normally be used as the IPv6
destination address of the Query, but need not be if the Querier has
useful a priori information about the addresses of the target node.
An NI Query may also be sent to a multicast address of link-local
scope [3].
When the Subject is a name, either fully-qualified or single-
component, and the Querier does not have a unicast address for the
target node, the query MUST be sent to a link-scope multicast address
formed in the following way.  The Subject Name is converted to the
canonical form defined by DNS Security [6], which is uncompressed
with all alphabetic characters in lower case.  (If additional DNS
label types or character sets for host names are defined, the rules
for canonicalizing those labels will be found in their defining
specification.)  Compute the MD5 hash [7] of the first label of the
Subject Name -- the portion beginning with the first one-octet length
field and up to, but excluding, any subsequent length field.  Append
the first 32 bits of that 128-bit hash to the prefix FF02:0:0:0:0:2:
FF::/104.  The resulting multicast address will be termed the "NI
Group Address" for the name.  A node will support an "NI Group
Address" for each associated Subject Name.
The Nonce MUST be a random or good pseudo-random value to foil
spoofed replies.  An implementation which allows multiple independent
processes to send NI queries MAY use the Nonce value to deliver
Replies to the correct process.  Nonetheless, such processes MUST
check the received Nonce and ignore extraneous Replies.
If true communication security is required, IPsec [13] should be
used.  Providing the infrastructure to authenticate NI Queries and
Replies may be quite difficult outside of a well-defined community.
Upon receiving an NI Query, the Responder must check the Query's IPv6
destination address and discard the Query without further processing
unless it is one of the Responder's unicast or anycast addresses, or
a link-local scope multicast address which the Responder has joined.
Typically the latter will be an NI Group Address for a name belonging
to the Responder.  A node MAY be configured to discard NI Queries to
multicast addresses other than its NI Group Address(es) but if so,
the default configuration SHOULD be not to discard them.  An
exception is made in the previous rule in the case of the All-Routers
(FF02::2) and All-Nodes (FF02::1) multicast addresses.  The default
configuration for responding to NI Queries to these multicast
addresses MUST be to discard them.
A Responder must also silently discard a Query whose Subject Address
or Name (in the Data field) does not belong to that node.  A single-
component Subject Name matches any fully-qualified name whose first
label matches the Subject.  All name matching is done in a case-
independent manner consistent with DNSSEC name canonicalization [6].
Next, if Qtype is unknown to the Responder, it must return an NI
Reply with ICMPv6 Code = 2 and no Reply Data.  The Responder should
rate-limit such replies as it would ICMPv6 error replies [5].
Next, the Responder should decide whether to refuse an answer, based
on local policy.  (See "Security Considerations" for recommended
default behavior.)  If an answer is refused, depending on local
policy the Responder can elect to silently discard the query or send
an NI Reply with ICMPv6 Code = 1 and no Reply Data.  Again, the
Responder should rate-limit such replies as it would ICMPv6 error
replies [5].
Finally, if the Qtype is known and the response is allowed by local
policy, the Responder MUST fill in the Flags and Reply Data of the NI
Reply in accordance with the definition of the Qtype and transmit the
NI Reply.  The source address of the NI Reply SHOULD be selected
using the rules defined in [8].
If the Query was sent to a multicast address, transmission of the
Reply MUST be delayed by a random interval between zero and
MAX_ANYCAST_DELAY_TIME, as defined by IPv6 Neighbor Discovery [9].
6.  Defined Qtypes
The following Qtypes are defined.  Qtypes 0, 2, and 3 MUST be
supported by any implementation of this protocol.  Qtype 4 SHOULD be
supported by any implementation of this protocol on an IPv4/IPv6
dual-stack node and MAY be supported on an IPv6-only node.
+-------------+----------------+
| Qtype Value |   Qtype Name   |
|      0      |      NOOP      |
|      1      |     unused     |
|      2      |    Node Name   |
|      3      | Node Addresses |
|      4      | IPv4 Addresses |
6.1.  NOOP
This NI type has no defined flags and never has a Data field.  A
Reply to an NI NOOP Query tells the Querier that a node with the
Queried Address is up and reachable and implements the Node
Information protocol.  On transmission, the ICMPv6 Code in a NOOP
Query must be set to 1 and the Code in a NOOP Reply must be 0.  On
reception of a NOOP Query or Reply, the Code must be ignored.
6.2.  Node Name
The NI Node Name Query requests the fully-qualified or single-
component name corresponding to the Subject Address or Name.  The
Reply Data has the following format.
|                              TTL                              |
|                          Node Names ...                       |
/                                                               /
Figure 2: Node Information Reply Message
o  TTL - MUST be zero.  Any non-zero value received MUST be treated
as zero.  This field is no longer used but is present to preserve
backwards compatibility with older implementations.
o  Node Names - The fully-qualified or single-component name or names
of the Responder which correspond(s) to the Subject Address or
Name, in DNS wire format, Section 3.1 of [2].  Each name MUST be
fully-qualified if the responder knows the domain suffix, and
otherwise be a single DNS label followed by two zero-length
labels.  When multiple node names are returned and more than one
of them is fully-qualified, DNS name compression, Section 4.1.4 of
[2], SHOULD be used, and the offsets are counted from the first
octet of the Data field.  An offset of 4, for example, will point
to the beginning of the first name.
The Responder must fill in the TTL field of the Reply with zero.
Only one TTL is included in the reply.
If the Responder does not know its name at all it MUST send a Reply
with TTL=0 and no Node Names (or a Reply with Code=1 indicating
refusal to answer).  The Querier will be able to determine from the
packet length that the Data field contains no names.
6.3.  Node Addresses
The NI Node Addresses Query requests some set of the Responder's IPv6
unicast addresses.  The Reply Data is a sequence of 128-bit IPv6
addresses, each address preceded by a separate 32-bit TTL value, with
Preferred addresses listed before Deprecated addresses [9], but
otherwise in no special order.  Five flag bits are defined in the
Query, and six in the Reply.
|            Qtype=3            |       unused      |G|S|L|C|A|T|
Figure 3: Node Information Address Query
o  G - If set to 1, Global-scope addresses [10] are requested.
o  S - If set to 1, Site-local addresses [10] are requested.
However, Site-local addresses are now deprecated [14] and this
flag is for backwards compatibility.
o  L - If set to 1, Link-local addresses [10] are requested.
o  C - If set to 1, IPv4-compatible and IPv4-mapped addresses [3] are
requested.  As the IPv4-compatible addresses are now deprecated,
this flag is for backwards compatibility with older
implementations,
o  A - If set to 1, all the Responder's unicast addresses (of the
specified scope(s)) are requested.  If 0, only those addresses are
requested which belong to the interface (or any one interface)
which has the Subject Address, or which are associated with the
Subject Name.
o  T Defined in a Reply only, indicates that the set of addresses is
incomplete for space reasons.
Flags G, S, L, C and A are copied from a Query to the corresponding

6.4.  IPv4 Addresses
The NI IPv4 Addresses Query requests some set of the Responder's IPv4
unicast addresses.  The Reply Data is a sequence of 32-bit IPv4
addresses, each address preceded by a 32-bit TTL value.  One flag bit
is defined in the Query, and two in the Reply.

Crawford & Haberman       Expires July 7, 2006                 [Page 10]
6.4.1.  Discussion
It is possible that a node may treat IPv4 interfaces and IPv6
interfaces as distinct, even though they are associated with the same
hardware.  When such a node is responding to an NI Query having a
Subject Address of one type requesting the other type, and the Query
has the A flag set to 0, it SHOULD consider IP interfaces, other than
tunnels, associated with the same hardware as being the same
ICMPv6 type values 139 and 140 were previously assigned by IANA for
this protocol.  This document defines three values of the ICMPv6 Code
field for each of these ICMPv6 Type values.  Additional Code values
may be defined using the "Specification Required" criteria from [15].
IANA is requested to establish and maintain a registry for the Code
fields associated with the Node Information Query ICMPv6 Types as a
part of its ICMPv6 Registry updated in [11].
This document defines five values of Qtype, numbers 0 through 4.
Following the policies outlined in [15], new values, and their
associated Flags and Reply Data, are to be defined by IETF Consensus.
The IANA is requested to assign the IPv6 multicast prefix FF02:0:0:0:
0:2:FF::/104 for use in Node Information Queries as defined in
Section 5.  It should be noted that this request does conform with
the requirements defined in [16].
This protocol shares the security issues of ICMPv6 that are
documented in the "Security Considerations" section of [5].
This protocol has the potential of revealing information useful to a
would-be attacker.  An implementation of this protocol MUST have a
default configuration which refuses to answer queries from global-
scope [3] addresses.
Implementations SHOULD apply rate-limiting to NI responses to avoid
being used in a denial of service attack.
The anti-spoofing Nonce does not give any protection from spoofers
who can eavesdrop the Query or the Reply.
The information learned via this protocol SHOULD not be trusted for
making security relevant decisions unless some other mechanisms
beyond the scope of this document is used to authenticate this
An implementation of this protocol SHOULD provide the ability to
control the dissemination of information related to IPv6 Privacy
Addresses [17].  The default action of this policy SHOULD NOT provide
a reponse to a Query that contains a node's Privacy Addresses.

Formula E racers to get lighter thanks to SiC inverters
December 1, 2017 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment
Full SiC power modules will form the basis of the inverter on the Venturi Formula E team in the FIA Formula E 2017–2018 (season four). The racing season will start on December 2nd and 3rd in Hong Kong.
The SiC power modules were devised by ROHM. The inverter SiC inverters feature embedded full SiC Power module, making it 43% smaller and 6-kg lighter than the inverter for season two. Compared to the previous inverter used in season three, it is 30% smaller and 4-kg lighter.
The SiC power module used in the Venturi inverter has new package with an improved internal module structure, as well as optimized thermal management. ROHM says compared to conventional IGBT modules with similar current ratings, this module reduces switching losses by 75% (at a chip temperature of 150°C). This contributes to the energy efficiency for the whole application. Also, having more compact peripheral components throughout the high-frequency drive, as well as the effect of reductions in switching losses, contributes to a more compact cooling system as well.
Says Kazuhide Ino, ROHM Group General Manager of Power Device Production Headquarters, "We provided SiC-SBDs in season three last year (2016–2017), but this
Where the electronics fit in a Formula E car. Top, the battery; middle, the inverter; bottom, the electric motor.
year we provide full SiC power modules that combine a SiC SBD and a SiC MOSFET. These modules will contribute to improve vehicle performance. I hope that we can continue to contribute to society through the efficient conversion of energy in a wide range of industries and fields, starting with electric vehicles."
An average Formula E racer has a power of at least 250 hp (190 kW). The race cars are typically able to accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in three seconds, with a maximum speed of 225 km/h (140 mph).
The first season of Formula E racing had all teams using cars designed by Spark Racing Technology around a chassis from Dallara. Since the second season, regulations permit teams to use other suppliers for the electric motor, inverter, gearbox and cooling system. The chassis and battery stay the same. Nine manufacturers are creating powertrains for the 2016–17 season. Besides Venturi, powertrain suppliers consist of ABT Schaeffler, Andretti Technologies, DS-Virgin, Jaguar, Mahindra, NextEV TCR, Penske, and Renault.

Sustainable bond sales highlight intensified Asia-Pacific focus on climate goals
South Korea's issuance of its first sovereign green bonds in June follow similar recent offerings from other Asia-Pacific governments such as Hong Kong and Indonesia
By Michael S. Higgins and Gene Fang
On 13 June, South Korea issued its maiden green and sustainability sovereign bond, following similar recent offerings by other governments in Asia-Pacific. The growing volume of sovereign green bond sales in the region highlights the increasing focus of authorities on raising capital for climate change mitigation and adaption efforts. Growing issuance by governments and public sector institutions will also contribute to establishing broader and more liquid markets, including through the development of green benchmarks for private sector borrowers.
Korea sold its inaugural US$500 million five-year green and sustainability bond at an interest rate of 2.177%, alongside a US$1 billion conventional 10-year bond with an interest rate of 2.677%. Both offerings were foreign exchange stabilization bonds, which the government issues periodically to secure additional foreign currency reserves to shield against global volatility, while also providing benchmark rates for private sector borrowing.
The inclusion of the green bond reflects Korea's focus on "innovation and inclusive growth" and will provide capital to eligible projects within its green and sustainability bond framework, which is aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Korea's issuance follows the recent entrance of other Asia-Pacific governments into the green bond market. In May, Hong Kong offered US$1 billion in its maiden green bond sale, while Indonesia – which issued its first sovereign green bond in March 2018 – also sold US$750 million in green sukuk earlier this year. Fiji was the first government in the Asia-Pacific to issue a green bond in November 2017.
Globally, the pickup in sovereign green bond sales through the first half of 2019 – which include an inaugural green bond from the Netherlands, Nigeria's second green bond issuance, and offerings from France and Poland – confirms our expectation that the pace of issuance will accelerate over the coming years.
Alongside growing investment demand for green and sustainable products, governments' commitments to their climate and environmental policy agendas, and a desire to facilitate greater private sector capital flows into green and sustainable investments by providing benchmarks and enhancing liquidity, will continue to drive sovereign green bond sales.
Sovereign green bond issuance in January to mid-June 2019 reached over US$15 billion, according to data from the Climate Bond Initiative, a level that is close to full-year issuance in 2018 (see Exhibit 1).
Since 2016, European governments have been responsible for over 90% of sovereign green bond sales. With a growing number of government issuances (four through mid-June 2019 versus two in the whole of 2018), we expect that Asia-Pacific will account for a growing share of sales as climate mitigation and adaption efforts intensify.
While we do not identify Korea among the sovereigns that are most susceptible to climate change, many of its cities are increasingly suffering from fine dust pollution. Approximately one-third of the 7 trillion Korean won (US$6 million) (0.4% of GDP) supplementary budget proposed in April 2019 focuses on reducing pollution, including through subsidies for replacement of diesel-powered cars and incentives for the purchase of air purification and renewable energy technologies.
Currently, approximately 8% of the country's power generation portfolio comes from renewable sources. With the government's new energy policy targeting renewable sources comprising 20% of total power generation by 2030, greater financing for renewable energy projects from green bonds, in addition to clean transportation and other energy efficiency projects, will help Korea to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels.
Hong Kong's inaugural US$1 billion green bond is the government's first under its framework developed in November 2018. At HK$100 billion (US$12.7 billion), the government's green bond program is one of the largest among sovereigns globally and will fund projects in clean transportation, air quality improvement and green buildings.
The issuance also promotes Hong Kong's strengths as a regional green finance hub. According to a survey by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, 60% of 47 major banks in the territory plan to promote green finance and sustainable banking. In June 2018, the government announced a scheme under which eligible green bond issuers can obtain grants for the full cost of obtaining certification under Hong Kong's green finance certification scheme.

GSS launches Statistics Improvement Project
By Mutala Yakubu
Logo of the Ghana Statistical Service
The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) on Wednesday launched the Harmonizing and Improving Statistics in West Africa Project (HISWAP) to strengthen the statistical systems across selected African countries.
It is also to harmonize, produce, disseminate and enhance the use of core economic and social statistics to facilitate development.
The project, to be carried out in three levels, is expected to run between 2020 and 2024.
It would be implemented in seven West African Countries including Ghana, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, Sierra Leone, and Liberia, and two Pan-African Organizations namely, Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and Africa Union Commission (AUC).

Launching the project at a symposium organized by the GSS to commemorate this year's African Statistics Day in Accra, Dr Grace Bediako, Chairperson of the Governing Board of GSS, said the project adopted a system-wide approach to statistics development.
It would focus on the strategies required to enhance the entire National Statistics System (NSS) to align the country's Statistical System with the monitoring and evaluation requirements of National Development Programmes and International Commitments.
The first level of the project will be a regional component to ensure harmonization of data collection to improve quality dissemination of core set of social, economic and administrative statistics in West Africa.
The second level will be a national project to improve and modernize physical and statistical infrastructure that will support 13 Municipal and District Assemblies (MDAs) with the financial and technical assistant (TA) from the Ghana Statistical Service.
The third level will be a programme to strengthen and develop the institutional capacity in project management, coordination, monitoring and evaluation of all project documentation.
Dr Bediako said the Project was developed through an interactive consultative process with representatives of the Ghana Statistical Service, the Ministry of Finance, the Attorney General's Department and Ministry of Justice and 19 Municipal and District Assembly, and Development partners.
She said the project would emphasize the need for reliable Statistics to be easily accessible to all categories of stakeholders, government institutions, academia, researchers businesses, communities, civil society groups, as well as individuals.
"One of the most challenging situations we are facing as a nation is the paucity of timely and relevant data for our planning, monitoring and valuation of policies and programmes, and to make a sound business decision," She said.
Dr Bediako said the major exercises to be undertaken by GSS under the project would be the Population and Housing Census to be conducted between April and May 2021.
Professor Samuel Kobina Annim, the Government Statistician, said the service was putting in place measures to ensure misuse of statistic data was prevented.
He commended government and development partners for their continued support towards ensuring the success of the service.

The day all Murray cod fishos have been counting down to is almost here. After a 3-month closed season to allow Murray cod to rest while they breed, 1 December 2018 marks the start of open season for the iconic native freshwater fish.
We have partnered with the Victorian Fisheries Authority and Native Fish Australia to develop a Care for Cod campaign. Adopting better handling practices can help cod to survive post-release.
Care for Cod follows a simple four point plan.
Be prepared | Have your cod gloves, knotless net and long-nose pliers ready for a catch.
Reduce air time | Minimise the time the cod spends out of the water to under 30 seconds. Where possible, leave the cod in the water.
Use the right gear | When baiting fishing use circle hooks and a tight line to avoid deep hooking the fish, also reduce fight time by using heavier gear.
Murray Cod have a bag limit of one in rivers and two in specific lakes and impoundments. They carry a minimum size limit of 55 cm and maximum size limit of 75cm. For more information visit the Victorian Fisheries Authority Murray Cod page.

What Can Cause Subjective Tinnitus?
Why Should I Call Tylers For My Subjective Tinnitus Compensation?
There are many reasons why subjective tinnitus can be caused and most believe it is related to the same causes that leads to hearing loss. This is why Subjective Tinnitus is often related to 'Noise Induced Hearing Loss'.
Both diseases are commonly found as side effects of loud noise, especially on a site where heavy and loud machinery is used, such as a construction yard or a manufacturing plant.
Subjective Tinnitus can also be a side effect of a simple aspirin tablet and other medicines such as Serotonin and Quinidine. In fact, it has been reported that over 260 medicines have led to a case of Tinnitus of some sort of level.
If you think that you are suffering from Subjective Tinnitus because of hazardous and loud working conditions then you are eligible for a claim. Call Tylers Solicitors today to start your tinnitus compensation claim today on 0800 699 0079.


At the end of the event the driver took her home and now picks her up to bring her to our fortnightly Saturday coffee mornings.
We want everyone to be able to look forward to Christmas Day and so our free website listing is there to help spread the word. We would like to hear from anyone who offers companionship to older people on Christmas Day whether it involves a full Christmas Lunch or a cup of tea, whether it is free or at a cost, whether there is transport provided or not. Cooking a turkey for one is impractical and booking a table for one is unappealing. By working together we can make a difference to our older people and our communities.
If you, or someone you know, already offer a meal or activity on Christmas Day that welcomes older people then we would love to be able to include the details on our website. Please complete our form so we can include the venue.
In order to support as many older people as possible Christmas Day events and activities are needed all around the UK. If you would be interested in becoming an lunch organiser, showing a film in a village hall or perhaps getting a group together to go to a local pub or restaurant take a look at our FAQs then please contact us for more information.
I am sure you will understand that to ensure the safety of all parties we are not able to put individuals directly in contact with each other. However, we are happy to encourage you to knock on your neighbours door and seeing if they would like to share a cup of tea and a piece of Christmas cake.
Local volunteers are key to ensuring that the needs of the older people in their community are met on Christmas Day. See what is happening in your area by doing a postcode search on our locations page so that you can register your interest and find out more. If there isn't anything listed in your area, or they don't need any more volunteers, please keep checking for updates.
Alternatively, getting neighbours together doesn't have to be complicated – why not start something new? Perhaps you can get a group together to go to a local pub or restaurant or knock on a neighbours door to see if they would like to share a cup of tea and a piece of Christmas Cake.
Many of our Friends and Partners welcome enquiries from volunteers interested in making a difference through the year and this can often lead to new friendships and the ability to provide a better Christmas in the future – please contact them direct.
Take a look at our FAQ and then please contact us to find out more about the options and how we can support you.

Surrealist rock troupe ☁ psych-rocker Amanda Jones, indie-folk guitarist Martin Lopez-lu & avant-jazz percussionist Lee Harcourt. Surrealist independent rock troupe The Anti-Job formed in 2009 at Vassar College (NY) initially as a project to fuse the musical ideas of psych-rocker Amanda Jones and indie-folk guitarist Martin Lopez-Iu. The Anti-Job's music has been classified as dreamy, surreal, and romantically emotive. With the release of their debut album Bloom the band found praise from the likes of Henry Rollins with rotation on his program (KCRW 89.9 FM Los Angeles) stating that they were a "must see emerging act!" Shortly after recording The Anti-Job enlisted avant-jazz percussionist Lee Harcourt as a permanent member to join them on tour as well as contribute to future recordings. With the subsequent release of their EP You're Not Real (produced & engineered by Brandon Eggeleston [Mountain Goats, Swans, Tune-yards]) LA Record likened the dream-like quality of their sound-scapes to the hanging gardens of Babylon by declaring them both "A lovely space to walk around in." Music Connection commented on their unique style of genre-bending saying their music "pushes the envelope with its experimental tunes that blur the lines between psychedelic, noise rock, alternative and punk." Pioneering a hybrid genre coined as "surrealist rock" The Anti-Job have shared the stage with a myriad of noise makers, touring with Deerhoof and Cy Dune (Seth Olinsky of Akron Family) as well as playing festivals and shows with Of Montreal, FIDLAR, Elizabeth and the Catapult, Diane Coffee and Kayo Dot. The Anti-Job's music elicits a cinematic quality thanks to Amanda Jones' background in film composition working alongside greats such as Michael A. Levine, Hans Zimmer, Henry Jackman and John Powell. Jones' surrealist inspiration is grounded in the catharsis of film and theatre; telling stories that provide emotional outlets. Their latest EP As a Place is a suite of scenes that continues in the reverence of the fanciful, abstract, and cinematic. The EP was recorded in Los Angeles at home next to a warm fire-place while sipping the finest of hot chocolates. Release date Spring 2016.

Sparkology: More Than Just a Dating Site; It's a Movement
TL;DR: With the motto "Our reputation is our greatest asset and honesty lies at our core," Sparkology.com is the dating site that's setting new industry standards and breaking away from the run-of-the-mill services out there.
Sparkology.com may only be three years old, but the site's dedication to its members already precedes itself thanks to three core values:
We spoke with Sparkology's President and Founder, Alex Furmansky, to learn more about these values, as well as the movement they're starting in the dating space.
Using an invite-only system, it's clear Sparkology takes its user base seriously.
Since new members have to be invited by existing members, or they can request a membership by proving their legitimacy through Facebook or LinkedIn, the dating process automatically starts off with a high-quality pool of candidates.
Sparkology.com President and Founder, Alex Furmansky
Not only that, but every member is a young professional with a college degree. The men even have to be verified graduates of established universities in order to join.
Furmansky said this unique approach combines the best aspects of a matchmaker with those of a traditional dating site, as well as builds a sense of community and responsibility.
"I saw Sparkology as this happy medium where we could bring the exclusivity of a matchmaker but also the ease of access and self-direction of an online dating site," he said.
Sparkology also prides itself on promoting "respect, benevolence, intellect, culture and creativity," unlike the harsh superficiality of so many hookup sites.
"We are the site someone goes to when they've hit that inflection point of being ready for a meaningful connection," he said. "It's a bunch of like-minded people who are educated, who are hard working, who want a real relationship all coming together and meeting each other, which I think is a beautiful thing."
Going from finding high-quality members to having high-quality conversations with those members is extremely easy at Sparkology.
Some dating sites might advise you to send out hundreds of generic emails filled with pickup lines every day in order to increase your odds of finding a match, but Sparkology discourages "dating spam" with a model that encourages authentic interactions.
While every female user starts off with a free membership and can send unlimited messages, the site has a different system in place for male users that Furmansky said has proven to be very effective.
Sparkology limits the amount of messages for men and charges a small fee for each one sent as a way to incentivize them to only choose the best dating prospects, which also increases their chances of receiving a response. This system also signals to women that these suitors have good intentions.
"The guys aren't wasting time sending messages every day. The girls aren't getting bombarded, and both sides have a better experience," he said.
So what does Sparkology have to offer besides a top-notch user base and guaranteed genuine conversations? Oh, so much more.
Take their customer service, for instance.
Sparkology's support team is like the Cadillac of online dating, providing a variety of features that help users date in a fast and simple way – no long-winded personality tests here!
Struggling to write a good profile? They can help you with that. Want professional photos to put on your page? They can set you up with a photo shoot. Need help transitioning offline? They can do that. Do you need help booking a reservation for your date? Yes, they can do that, too!
Sparkology's startup vibe encourages passion, commitment and originality.
"We bring in a more hands-on approach that you'd find more in the traditional matchmaking space and we blend it into the online dating arena," Furmansky said.
Sparkology's commitment to its members also is evident in its company culture. Thanks to a team of young and passionate people who do more than just punch a timeclock every day, Sparkology has the vibe of a startup rather than a 9-to-5 company.
"Everyone does their own thing, but everyone is unified in this one goal. That's what makes it work," he said. "The key for us is really why we do it, and I think that allows us to keep pushing forward and building this great service."
While a new hookup site pops up every day, Sparkology.com, which is available in New York City, Washington, D.C. and soon to be Boston, is determined to improve the dating industry one member at a time.
"We're in this to build a longstanding company that will grow slowly. This goal of helping nice guys meet nice girls… flows throughout every touch point on our site," Furmansky said. "We've found a great formula, and we've built a great service. Now it's just a matter of opening it up in more areas of the country."

Here We learn about what is a Computer and its Terminology.
The word 'computer' is derived from the word 'to compute', which means 'to calculate'. Therefore, many people think that a computer is just another calculating machine - a fast calculator. But, in fact, a computer is much more than a simple calculating machine.
Initially, Computers were used only to perform big and complex calculations quickly and accurately. But today, a computer is also used to read, write, draw and perform many other functions. A Computer is used to listen to music, watch movies and also play games.
The Internet is a worldwide network of computers that hold a large amount of information that you can obtain using your personal computer (PC). You can also communicate with other Internet users around the world. You can send and receive messages (e-mails) across the world in a few seconds.
A Computer is an Electronic Machine. It will do exactly as it told to do. It carries out the instructions given to it perfectly. It will make mistakes only if some wrong instructions are given to it.
A Computer takes in facts known as data. It works on (processes) the data (input) according to the instructions given to it and produces information (output).
Let us learn some Basic Computer Terminology.
Input: Data or raw facts entered into a computer are called input. Input could be numbers, letters, pictures or even sound.
Program: A set of logical (step-by-step) instructions given to a computer to perform a task or work on the data is called a program.
Processing: When the computer works on the data (input) according to the instructions (program), it is called processing.
Output: Information that is produced by the computer after processing the data is called output. Output is displayed by the monitor or printed by a printer.
Hardware: It is the computer's machinery. All the parts of the computer that you can see and touch are called hardware. The keyboard, monitor, printer, mouse, etc. are all hardware.
Software: All the different sets of programs together are called software.
High-Level Languages: They are very easy to learn because they use words that we use in our language. High-Level Languages are converted into binary code by using a special program called an interpreter or a compiler.
Low-Level Languages: They use abbreviations or short forms to give instructions to the Computer. Low-Level Languages are converted into binary code by using a special program called an assembler.

Building franchisee trust in their franchisor: insights from the franchise sector
Grace, A R | Frazer, Lorelle | Weaven, S | Dant, R P
Purpose – The purpose of this research is to identify the critical determinants of a franchisee's trust in their franchisor. Design/methodology/approach – A qualitative approach was used, and 30 interviews were conducted with franchising participants. The first phase of the research consisted of exploratory interviews with franchising experts (franchise lawyers, accountants, consultants, mediators and bankers), and the second phase consisted of semi-structured interviews with franchisees and franchisors across two franchise systems. Findings – The research revealed five critical determinants of a franchisee's trust in their franchisor: franchisee's engagement in the system, franchisee's confidence in the system, franchisee's perception of a strong team culture, franchisee's perception of franchisor competence and franchisee's perception of franchisor character. Practical implications – The research provides insight into how the aforementioned components can be developed within a franchise system to build franchisee trust. The paper also concludes with four practical recommendations that can be integrated within a franchise system to increase levels of franchisee trust. Originality/value – This research builds on prior research into franchisee trust, providing an original contribution to the literature through the development of a practical model, showcasing critical determinants of a franchisee's trust in their franchisor. © 2016, Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

Keen Entertainment Insights To Hollywood
DIFF 2018: Day 6
May 9, 2018 Keith Young
Eleven Hundred to Lubbock is a low-budget independent Texas narrative that follows a young woman who recently loses her brother and tries to figure out what to do with his remains. After meeting his free-spirited friends who all know each other at a local German bar in Los Angeles, she begrudgingly goes along with the friends' idea to run together across the United States to spread his remains at his favorite musician Buddy Holly's grave in Lubbock, Texas. A very reserved person who does not enjoy social situations, the sister is not particularly enthusiastic about hanging out with her brother's friends, but she develops close relationships with them over the course of the 1100 miles to Lubbock.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a terrific narrative drama that follows a teenager, played by the excellent Chloë Grace Moretz, who is sent to a gay conversion camp after she is discovered in a intimate relationship with another female teenager. It explores the heartbreaking emotional trauma that the young people go through in the name of spiritual help. The brother and sister staff instill in the fragile teenagers that what they are doing is evil and only God can save them by studying the words of the Bible and praying. The movie provides important insight into what happens at these so-called gay conversion camps and how they often cause more problems than help the young people that they are serving.
Blindspotting is a surprisingly powerful independent comedy/drama that explores what it is like to be an African American in a poor neighborhood undergoing gentrification. Written by the stars of the film, comedians and musicians Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal, it follows lifelong friends living in Oakland over the course of a few days as Diggs' character is about to get off probation. Filled with some very funny moments, the movie also delves deep into such timely issues as police brutality, cultural appropriation, gentrification, and other race issues in particular related to poverty. What makes the film so special is the on-screen chemistry between the two protagonists who are real-life friends and the clever writing in which the characters recite slam poetry and evocative ad-lib rap lyrics to discuss the issues. It is definitely a must-see and expect more great things from the extremely talented writing and acting duo.

Google one ups Twitter with Trends in Search Results
Today sees Google launch a new feature that will highlight the latest search trends along side your search results.
Google has, for some time, devoted a section of its site called Hot Trends to the fastest rising searches on the web in the last hour. Today however , Google will integrate the feature deeper into its core product, search, with an area called the Hot Trends OneBox.
When you search for an item that is featured on the list of top 100 searches in the last hour, Google will show you a graph at the bottom of page, with more information — like how popular the query is, how fast it's rising over time, and other useful data.
"The idea behind the [Hot Trends] OneBox is to not only provide you with search results as you'd want but also extra meta data on how popular the search is and whether it has peaked in interest, plus the number of sites that are creating chatter and buzz about this particular topic or person, to give a relative hotness rating as well" RJ Pittman, director of product management for consumer search properties at Google, told Search Engine Land.
Although not intended to replace Twitter Trends, a Twitter feature that shows you what the community is discussing at any given moment, OneBox will provide an alternative and should show what the wider web (people who aren't on Twitter) are searching for and chatting about.
Sadly, the feature is only currently available in the U.S. AND Japan.

With the recent roll out of yet another Penguin update, it's important now more than ever to understand what backlinks are and the importance of having good quality and natural looking links in your website's profile. So what are backlinks and what are the best practices to follow?
Backlinks are essentially links that come from other websites to your website. They are also referred to as 'inbound links', 'incoming links' and sometimes 'inward links'. Backlinks can come in many different ways, from adding your site to online directories to blog comments and article submissions. There is some information about this from Google themselves in this 'blogger' post.
Search engines will often take the amount and the quality of backlinks to determine the website's rankings, importance and popularity. In basic terms, backlinks are important because they act like 'votes' to your website from other sites. They are like endorsements to your website, your service or product and your content, which, in turn, adds to your credibility and can help your standing in search engine results pages.
Like any vote or commendation, endorsements from credible sources count more in the eyes of search engines. For example, if you have an endorsement from John Key, the public would see this as a reliable and trustworthy source.
What are the consequences of having 'bad' backlinks?
So, what are the consequences if your site has an undesirable backlink profile? Most websites will inconsequentially have a small portion of low quality links coming in. Some unrelated sites may still link to you naturally and search engines understand this. For example, a butcher may really love a bicycle store and link to them because he's part of a riding community. Bikes and meat aren't necessarily related, but search engines can't punish the bike shop for having this link.
It's important to ensure that the bad quality, unrelated links don't make up a large portion or majority of the profile.
All or some of the above can lead to algorithmic or manual penalties.
How do I find these links and what should I do if I think my website's offsite profile may be compromised?
There are tools online (such as ahrefs.com) and also Google Web Master Tools that allow you to see your website's backlink profile. Any tool that is not a Google, Bing or Yahoo tool is not a source from the search engine themselves but can give you an indication of what the search engines may be seeing.
Link building is a very important component of SEO and increasing a website's authority with search engines. Once a link is there it can be hard to remove, so building authority is best left to the experts.

Has my site been hit by an algorithm update, or have my rankings dropped due to something else?

Rahul Gandhi is joined by former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan at the Bharat Jodo Yatra.
Raghuram Rajan, a former governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), joined the Bharat Jodo Yatra, which is being led by Rahul Gandhi and is now travelling across Rajasthan, on Wednesday morning. The former RBI governor is seen in a news agency ANI video strolling alongside top Congressmen Sachin Pilot and Rahul Gandhi as part of the party's outreach initiative.
The former RBI chief, a strong opponent of demonetisation, had previously voiced worries about India's economic expansion and budget deficit. In his autobiography, "I Do What I Do," Rajan acknowledged that he opposed demonetization because he believed that any short-term economic losses connected with such a disruptive choice would outweigh any long-term advantages.
The foot march started again this morning in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan, from Bhadoti.
As of now, the yatra has travelled through Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh since it began in Kanyakumari on September 7. Early February 2023 will see Jammu and Kashmir host the conclusion.
The Bharat Jodo Yatra has so far drawn in the participation of a number of politicians, movie stars, activists, and former bureaucrats.
According to AICC general secretary Jairam Ramesh on Tuesday, the Congress will host a concert in Jaipur on Friday to commemorate the 100th day of the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Sunidhi Chauhan will play live at the event.
Rahul Gandhi, one of the top Congressmen, will attend the "Bharat Jodo Concert" and speak at a news conference that day at 1 p.m. in Dausa.
At a news conference held here, Ramesh stated, "The (Bharat Jodo) Yatra) will finish 100 days on December 16 and it would be a milestone."
