MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Exporters Confederation Inc. (Philexport) has expressed opposition against the classification of value added tax (VAT) exemption as a tax incentive under the second package of the tax reform program, saying this will make exports uncompetitive.
In a position paper submitted to the Department of Finance, Philexport aired the group's reservations over the incentives reform portion of the draft "Corporate Income Tax and Incentives Reform Act," noting that the zero VAT exemption and VAT refunds should not be categorized as tax incentives.
"VAT refunds are not fiscal incentives, but just a necessary operation of the Cross Border Doctrine internationally recognized which states that no VAT shall form part of the cost of goods and services destined for consumption outside of the terminal territory of the taxing authority," the group said.
Philexport said this doctrine is followed by economies in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Unburdened by input taxes, other ASEAN exporters will have lower export prices compared to Philippine exporters, which will have to pay additional VAT under the proposed corporate tax law, Philexport said.
"The additional VAT will make our products and services more expensive than they already are," it said.
According to Philexport, an enhanced VAT refund system must be established to grant refunds of creditable input tax within 90 days of VAT refund application under the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion or TRAIN.
"We therefore object to the proposal to classify exporters to whether they have a performance record of three years and having exported 90 percent over past three years," the group said.
"This is anti-development, anti-MSMEs, as it rewards those who already succeeded in competition to grow even bigger, exacerbating the growing gap between rich and poor sectors of the economy," it added.

Generally, AT&T technicians will program universal remotes for you. If you get a new device, or feel like programming your remote yourself, there are several ways to get the remote set up. Follow this guide to learn how.
Turn on your TV. This method will be using a built-in program in your cable box to help setup the remote. Press the Menu button, and then select Help. In the Help menu, select Remote Control Setup.
Select your remote. There will be several options available. Scroll through them until you find the remote that matches yours. Tips and pictures will be displayed to help you figure out which remote you are using.
Select Automatic Code Search. This will pull up a list of compatible devices. Browse for the device that you want to connect, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
Instructions will vary from device to device.
Turn on the device to want to program. This can be a TV, DVD player, or other auxiliary devices. Point the remote towards that device.
Press and hold the Mode button and Enter button. The Mode button is one of multiple buttons at the top of the remote. Hold the appropriate Mode button for the device you want to program.
For example, if you are programming a TV, press and hold the TV button and Enter for one second, and then release.
If you are programming a DVD player, press and hold the DVD button and Enter for one second, and then release.
If you are programming an auxiliary device, press and hold the AUX and Enter buttons for one second, and then release.
Make sure the remote flashes. All of the Mode buttons should flash twice when you release. This indicates that you are in Programming Mode.
Press the SCAN\FF button repeatedly. Pause briefly between each button press. Repeat until the device you are programming turns off. Press the Power button to turn the device back on.
Check your functions. Once you power the device back on, make sure that the Volume and Mute functions work properly. If the buttons are not working, resume pressing the SCAN\FF button until they function.
Press Enter to save the programming. The Mode that you are programming will display a single long flash to confirm that the programming was saved.
Turn on the device you want to program. Note that only certain devices will work with the remote––look in your user manual to be sure that yours is included.
Find the 4-digit setup code for the desired device. You can browse the list of all supported devices and there codes here.
Press and hold the appropriate key on the remote. It will either be TV, DVD, or AUX. Then, hold down the OK key at the same time. Hold both keys for one second, then release. The four Mode keys will flash to indicate that you have entered programming mode.
Enter the 4-digit code from Step 2. If you have entered the correct code, the Mode key will flash once for a sustained period. If the wrong code was entered, your Mode key will flash 8 times, and you will need to restart the process from Step 1. If this happens, try entering your code again. Keep in mind that you'll have to start over if the device times out.
Some manufacturers have multiple codes. If you enter a code and can't get the device to work, try entering the next code on the list.
Point the remote control at your device. Press the power key one time. The device should turn off. If it does not, try starting again at Step 1.
Turn on the device you want to program. Then, point the remote control at the device. If you cannot find your user manual, you can search your remote control's memory for the 4-digit code device code. This is also effective if the desired device isn't listed in the manual.
Press and hold the key (TV, AUX, DVD) that you wish to program. At the same time, hold the OK key. All keys should flash twice.
Enter "922". The selected mode key should flash two times.
Press and hold the PLAY button. Wait for the device to turn off before you release PLAY. Use the REW key to look through each code backwards one at a time, and the FF key to look through them forwards one at a time. PLAY will resume an auto-search of the codes.
Press ENTER once you have found the correct code. The mode key will flash three times.
If you cannot find the desired code, press EXIT to return to normal use of the control.
Note that the Mode keys will flash red and the remote control will return to normal function if it cannot find a valid code.
Turn the device on and try the remote. If it does not work, you may need to repeat the steps.
What do I do if there is no brand name on my universal remote?
Just use the "tool" -- it will find the correct code automatically. It's easy and fast and works every time.
What should the TV volume be set on?
Keep the volume at 20 to 30, so that your eardrums will be happy and you can still hear the TV.
Sometimes when I hit the channel up or down button, the screen gets enlarged or smaller (similar to a zoom function). How do I reset the screen to normal size? The zoom function does not reset it.
This can happen if you watch a Standard Definition (SD) program in a High Definition (HD) TV. Check if the channels with the small screen are non-HD. If that's the case, there's unfortunately nothing you can do about it.
How do I program my Uverse remote to change channels on my TV?
My volume control beeps for each increase and decrease. How do I stop the beeps?
What is the remote code for a Yamaha RX-V659 receiver?
How to I program a universal remote to operate an AT&T cable box?
How do I program a AT&T S10-S4 to my science Atlanta cable?

When Henry Oades tells his wife, Meg, that they will be moving from London to New Zealand, she isn't exactly thrilled about the prospect. In the late 19th century, a trip from London to New Zealand could be quite the harrowing experience, and New Zealand did not have many of the creature comforts of London. However, it was initially supposed to be only two years, so she agreed to take her son and daughter and go with him. Of course their trip was not only two years long, and their family grew while in New Zealand by twin girls. Then, one day, while Henry was at work, Meg, her children, their neighbor, and her son were set upon by Maori seeking revenge for the public punishment of one of their own.
When Henry returns to his house that night, he finds a woman's body no longer recognizable. The neighbor's carriage is at his house, so he has no idea whether the body belongs to her or to his dear Meg. Regardless, his wife and children are either dead or missing. After a long period of mourning, Henry finally gives his family up for dead and decides to move to Berkeley, California, where he will not be so haunted by the memories of his family. In Berkeley, Henry makes the acquaintance of a young girl left pregnant and widowed. After the birth of her child, he marries her for what is love on his part, and protection on her part. When Meg and her children show up one day on Henry and Nancy's front porch, everything in all of their lives becomes infinitely more complicated – and they are indicted for bigamy.
This was a beautifully written book, based on real events. All Moran had to work with was a scant document, she had to fill in the majority of the action herself, and she did a superb job. The thing that particularly struck me was how sympathetically the characters were written. I really, really, really wanted to hate Nancy multiple times; for one thing she was essentially the other woman, although that was not her fault. Much more obnoxious was her immaturity, she did not truly seem to want to be either wife or mother. Since regaining her status as wife and mother was what Meg truly desired, it pained me to see Nancy in her place. However, every time I got myself good and worked up to hate Nancy, Moran would show me her frailty and humanity and I would find it impossible to feel anything but sympathy for the predicament she found herself in. I also appreciated that Moran presented the story of the Oades without moralizing, I have no idea whether she considered Nancy or Meg Henry's true wife, or what she felt about their predicament.
Although there were perhaps a few elements of Nancy and Meg's stories that could have been explored further, this was overall a completely lovely debut novel, a fresh and new work of historical fiction. I will definitely be looking for more from Moran in the future.
This review was done with a book received from the publisher via the LibraryThing Early Reviewer program.
Thanks for the great review – will definitely add this one to the list – love historical fiction.
The premise sounds intriguing. I will have to check this one out.
I bought this book the other day at B&N after reading a review on another blog. The premise of this book interests me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I thought Nancy was pretty funny actually, but I have to admit I still feel like everyone got along just a little too fine. Maybe that shows how insecure I am!
Well, I think they partly got along because they didn't know what else to do. Nancy was intimidated by the fact that Margaret had been married to Henry first, and had his children – plus Nancy wasn't much of one for asserting herself. And Margaret got along because of her children, because she didn't want to deny them their father after talking so much about how it would be for them to be back with him. I think some affection grew out of the basically forced civility, which I think is at least plausible.
I felt just a tad the same way, Amy. The way I eventually worked that out was that living with Nancy was better than living as a slave. Just being alive trumped the pain and disappointment.
I find this story fascinating! I don't remember where I saw the review first, but is something I think I would like simply because it is so bizarre and a true story! It wouldn't be nearly as appealing if it were completely fictional.
I love books that are inspired by true stories so this one sounds right up my alley. Great review!
I just finished this book last night and was simply blown away with it. I could not imagine living after those events. Nor could I imagine looking at what happened to the Oades as bigamy in the same way as what Mormons practiced at or just before that time. Great review, Jen!
Wow … this sounds intriguing on a lot of different levels. And to think it was based on a true story!!! I'm going to have to keep an eye out for this one.
As you know, I loved this one as well. The characters still haunt me! I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more from this author!
Very nice review. It sounds like a good book. I like fresh and new books.
I have read a few reviews of this and it sounds like a great read. I didn't, however, realize that it was based on a true story. That just piqued y interest even more.
I was really skeptical about this book when I first heard about it, but now I'm hearing all this great stuff about it. I'm going to have to read it now!

Head of Transformation
Digital towers and securing a sustainable future for the Highlands and Islands
At the end of last month, I had the pleasure of taking a team from NATS to exhibit at an event in Inverness organised by Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL) all around their new air traffic management strategy.
HIAL's long-term approach aims to transform operations at seven of its 11 airports – Sumburgh, Dundee, Inverness, Wick John O'Groats, Kirkwall, Stornoway and Benbecula.
These airports, and the teams that run them, provide an absolutely vital service for their local communities. Having a strong, considered and sustainable plan that ensures they stay open and viable is at the heart of HIAL's strategy, which is why, among other changes to controlled airspace and radar technology, it includes the use of digital control towers.
Camera technology at each of the airports would now make it possible for the ATC service to be managed from a single control centre, making it more efficient, cost effective and operationally resilient, and it's this strategy that HIAL is currently publicising.
The aim of the event was to give the public, politicians and the wider team at HIAL – from the controllers and executive directors to the Trade Union representatives – a chance to get hands on with some of the digital tower technology, to demystify it and to understand what it might mean for the future.
On the day, we had people there with experience of digital towers and managing major project transitions, as well as the day-to-day NATS/HIAL working relationship and the Scottish ATM environment.
We weren't quite sure what to expect as we weren't showcasing any technology, but it was a great event and in general, visitors seemed accepting of and even excited by the concept. Ensuring high speed internet connectivity – a prerequisite for the technology to work effectively – was considered to be an issue by some, but the reaction to our stand, which included a Virtual Reality tour of our digital tower facility at Swanwick, was fantastic.
Even though we were at a technology event, the biggest challenge to overcome will be managing the 'people' aspects of a change of this scale. Working closely with those affected and offering open and clear communication will be as important as getting the technology right in a project like this.
NATS has lot of experiencing of managing the 'people' element of big operational transitions –which includes moving the current London City team to their new digital tower at Swanwick Centre over the next year or so – and we know the challenges and pitfalls. Events like this one are absolutely the right thing to do and seemed to go down well with everyone we had a chance to speak with.
We'll continue to support HIAL and work with them over the next few months, but whatever the outcome of the current tender process, I wish the entire HIAL team every success in something that is truly transformational. This is a hugely exciting project both technically and operationally, but also for the long term future of these communities and the unsung teams that serve them.

The British Music Society was founded in 1979 by a group of musical enthusiasts, both amateur and professional, who believed in the need for an organisation which by its specific promotional efforts might help combat the generally indifferent attitude then widely displayed by many music lovers in this country towards their home-grown British musical tradition. It was felt that, while a number of the most famous British composers such as Purcell, Sullivan, Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Delius and Britten perhaps did not need special support in this regard, often having individual societies and organisations of their own to help promote their music, many more composers of comparable worth such as Bax, Bridge, Ireland, Moeran and Warlock had written much fine music which was virtually never heard in concert halls and recording studios of the day and deserved fuller promotional attention. Moreover, this small list of names represented only the tip of a very large iceberg of British composers whose music was then little performed.
Over the thirty years which have passed since the BMS was founded, there has been significant change in the cultural situation just described, due in good part to the Society's pioneering efforts; and a wealth of British music not heard for decades has been rediscovered, particularly through the dissemination of recorded music. But the need for special promotional effort continues, and the aim of the British Music Society remains to encourage and renew international enthusiasm for much British music of the last 150 years or so which is still too often undeservedly neglected.
This aim is pursued through the dissemination of recordings and printed publications issued under the Society's own imprint, and the promotion of lecture-recital series and occasional concert performances for which the Society acts as sponsor. New recordings by the Society are released on the Naxos label, while archive and historic performances are available on the original BMS label.
BMS publications include an annual journal (British Music) and four quarterly newsletters (News), which are distributed to all members as part of their membership. Other publications include individual monographs and occasional books, also available to members at discounted rates and to the general public. The Society's principal live-music activity has been its biennial BMS Awards competition, open to young musicians studying at one of the eight major British music colleges and devoted to promoting performances of rarely heard British music.
The British Music Society currently has over 600 members worldwide. It was granted charitable status (Charity Number 1043838) in 1995.

If We Had No Moon
The Earth has a large moon, making it unique in the inner solar system. Mercury and Venus have no moons, and Mars has only two small asteroid-sized objects orbiting it.
If the time of Earth's existence was condensed into a 24-hour clock, the moon formation event occurred just 10 minutes after the Earth was born. The Earth formed 4.56 billion years ago, and the Moon formed about 30 million years later. At that time, the Earth was a magma ocean. An impactor about the size of Mars struck the Earth at an oblique angle, and removed some of the magmatic mantle. This mantle was put in orbit around the Earth, together with some of the debris from the impactor itself, and this material eventually formed the Moon.
When the Moon first formed, it was very close to the Earth. It was possibly only 20 to 30 thousand kilometers away, and it would have looked extremely large in the sky, at least 20 to 10 times bigger. But there were no living creatures on the Earth at that time to witness this beautiful scene.
The tidal effect of a body increases as a cube of the distance, so the effect of the Moon's tidal forcing on the Earth was extremely high at this time, to the point that the early magma ocean was affected. This provided some additional energy to the heating from radioactive elements present, but after the radiogenic heating decayed, the Moon still was a source of heating that may have had some geological effect, keeping the Earth's magma hot and perhaps forcing additional convection in the Earth's mantle.
After the Earth started to cool, the first crust started to float on top of the magma. During this period the Earth was subjected to increased meteor bombardment. The bombardment had been very intense at the beginning of the solar system and then had started to decline, but about 500 million years after the birth of the Earth, or about 2 hours and 40 minutes into our clock of 24 hours, there was a burst of impactors.
This lasted for about a hundred million years, and is called "the late heavy bombardment". Many of the large basins on the Moon are evidence of this late heavy bombardment period. In this way, the Moon is a history book for the inner solar system and the Earth. The Moon's heavily cratered surface is evidence of the many meteorite impacts that occurred in the inner solar system during the late heavy bombardment period.
The Earth was hit more often than the Moon, however, because Earth is larger and has more gravity. This increased gravity also caused the impactors to be accelerated to higher velocities towards the Earth. That must have been a catastrophic time to be here. So many bombardments would have sterilized the planet. If life had appeared before this period, it would have been extinguished unless it found a way to retreat into niches where it could be protected from these global catastrophes.
When some of these impactors hit the Earth, the explosion caused rocks and dirt from Earth to shoot up and away from our planet. Some of that projected material flew all over the solar system, and some of it landed on the Moon. There could be a few hundred kilograms of Earth material per square kilometer of the Moon's surface, buried under a few meters of lunar soil.
It would be interesting to retrieve those rocks and bring back samples of the early Earth. Almost nothing from this time period has survived on the Earth because of tectonic recycling of the crust plates or because of atmospheric weathering. We would try to detect some organics within those rocks, and that could tell us about the history of organic chemistry on Earth.
Some of these rocks could even have preserved fossils of life. Such rocks could help us look further back into the fossil record, which now stops at 3.5 billion years ago. This way, we could possibly learn about the emergence of life on Earth.
By exploring the Moon, we also can get clues on how the Earth has evolved. We can study processes on the Moon that have also shaped the Earth, like volcanism and tectonics. Because the Moon is smaller than the Earth, the Moon's radiogenic heating dissipated much faster. After about one billion years, the interior of the Moon didn't evolve much, and surface changes mostly were due to impacts.
There was a brief period of magmatic activity from the subsurface — a few plumes of magma made their way up to the surface and filled newly formed impact basins with basalt, creating what we call the Maria. This happened up to about 2 billion years ago. Because the Moon offers different conditions than the Earth, we can better understand how physical processes work generally by studying a larger range of parameters than just the Earth's.
The Moon affects the liquid envelope of the Earth, and the oceanic tides in particular. The Moon affects the ocean tides more in some areas than others. For instance, in the channel between the British Isles and the European continent, the tidal range can be 10 meters, compared to what you see in the Pacific, where it is below a meter.
The crust of the Earth is also affected. The Moon's tidal forcing causes significant heating and dissipation of energy to take place. Part of this energy is heating the Earth, and part of it is dissipated by forcing the Moon to recede from the Earth over time. There are people who propose that the tidal effect of the Moon may have helped trigger the convection on the Earth that led to the multi-plate tectonics.
The other planets don't have the same tectonic cycle. For most of them, the crust is like a lid that doesn't move much horizontally, and the magma and heat are blocked by this lid on the surface. The Earth instead has rolling convective motion that drags the crust, and then the crust plunges back down into the mantle and gets recycled.
If you would take away the Moon suddenly, it would change the global altitude of the ocean. Right now there is a distortion which is elongated around the equator, so if we didn't have this effect, suddenly a lot of water would be redistributed toward the polar regions.
The Moon has been a stabilizing factor for the axis of rotation of the Earth. If you look at Mars, for instance, that planet has wobbled quite dramatically on its axis over time due to the gravitational influence of all the other planets in the solar system. Because of this obliquity change, the ice that is now at the poles on Mars would sometimes drift to the equator.
But the Earth's moon has helped stabilize our planet so that its axis of rotation stays in the same direction. For this reason, we had much less climatic change than if the Earth had been alone. And this has changed the way life evolved on Earth, allowing for the emergence of more complex multi-cellular organisms compared to a planet where drastic climatic change would allow only small, robust organisms to survive.
The Moon has influenced biology in other ways as well. For species living near the coast, the tide is an important factor. When you look at the shorelines, you can recognize different layers of organisms that have adapted to the salt water conditions based on the ebb and flow of the tide.
The eyesight of many mammals is sensitive to moonlight. The level of adaptation of night vision would be very different without the Moon. Many of these species have evolved in such a way that their night vision could work in even partial lunar illumination, because that's when they are most active. But they can be more subjected to predators, too, so there is a balance between your ability to see and your ability not to be seen. The Moon has completely changed evolution in that aspect.
Human vision is so sensitive that we are almost able to work by the light of the Milky Way. The full Moon has more light than we need to see at night. For most of our history, we were hunting and fishing or doing agriculture, and we organized our lives by using the Moon. It determined the time for hunting, or the time when we could harvest. That's why most of our calendars are based on the Moon.
Psychologists have studied the relation between the lunar phases and several aspects of life. There was a very interesting correlation, not with the birth of children, but with the time of conception. Perhaps that is due to some social or sentimental value of the Moon. We tend to forget the impact the Moon has on our lives because we use electric lights, but for most of our history we had to adapt our behavior to the lunar phases.
Finally, the Moon had a key role in the emergence of science, and in our understanding of our place in the universe. We saw the repetition of the phenomena of lunar phases, and we observed solar and lunar eclipses. These were big challenges to our understanding of nature, and a few astronomers were put to death because they weren't able to predict the eclipses. This challenged us to develop accurate predictions for the motion of the sun and the motion of the Moon.
Studying the Moon helped us determine distances in the solar system and the size of celestial objects. By studying lunar phases, for example, people were able to determine how far the Moon is from the Earth, the size of the Earth, and our distance from the sun. More recently, the Moon was the terrain where the space race took place between two political systems, allowing for great technical and scientific achievements. The Moon has inspired humankind to learn how to travel to space, and to bring life beyond Earth's cradle.

One of the signs that a piece of software is reaching a mature state is its ability to serve use cases that nobody had anticipated when it was started. I've recently had this experience with Flatpak.
We have been discussing some possible new directions for the GTK+ file chooser. And it occurred to me that it might be convenient to use the file chooser portal as a way to experiment with different file choosers without having to change either GTK+ itself or the applications.
To verify this idea, I wrote a quick portal implementation that uses the venerable GTK+ 2 file chooser.
Here is Corebird (a GTK+ 3 application) using the GTK+ 2 file chooser to select an image.
Can you help in this issue?
Can flatpak app run as root or with root privilege.
no. flatpak apps run in the user session, under your user id.


If you're a foodie, then you may want to consider naming your new arrival after one of your favorite dishes… or maybe during your pregnancy you craved one particular food, and you think that name may be a delicious fit for your baby.
No matter what your reason, there are tons of wonderful, food-inspired baby names — or nicknames — with which to gift your child. Here's a tasty selection!
While there are many feminine names inspired by food, some of the most popular are fruit-related. Names such as Apple (in fact, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay's Chris Martin), Pear, Peach, Cherry, Plum, Blueberry and even simply Berry are great food names for your little girl. Melony (as in melon) is also an up-and-coming name for girls — though, historically, it's been more typically spelled Melanie.
Love citrus, but Orange and Tangerine just aren't doing it for you? Consider instead Clementine — the name of choice of celebs like Ethan Hawke, Claudia Schiffer and Rachel Griffiths.
If you have a sweet tooth, you can consider Sugar, Honey, Cookie, Candy or Taffy — all interesting names. (Don't forget Suzette, as in Crepes Suzette.) See more candy-inspired baby names here!
Are you a big fan of spices? If you're having a little girl, you might want to try Anise, Saffron, Cinnamon, Cilantro, Marjoram, Cassia or Rosemary out for size.
If it's a unisex name you seek, Senna, Basil, Curry and Sage are all wonderfully aromatic names for little girls or boys. And for boys, there's always Herb.
If you are a fan of meat dishes, then you may want this expressed through your choice of baby names. Chuck (as in steak), Frank (as in -furter) and Wellington (as in beef) are all interesting ideas. Maybe you love meat so much you want to get crazy and call your boy Bacon… but, honestly, for a first name, Kobe may be a better choice.
If salads are what you crave, then Cobb, Caesar, Waldorf or Kale are all potentially tasteful choices to consider.
Or perhaps you'd like an Olive or a little Pepper on your salad?
Cheese is one of the most loved foods in the world. If it is one of your favorites, you can express your love affair with cheese by naming your child Colby, Jack, Brie, Fontina or Asiago.
Another idea: Name him or her for the region of Italy for which Parmesan cheese is named: Parma.
Some wine with your cheese?
If you enjoyed an after-dinner drink pre-pregnancy, then you can look back to those days for your baby naming inspiration. For your little girl, consider Champagne (even more specifically Cristal), Merlot, Chianti or Chardonnay, Syrah (or Shiraz if you prefer the Aussie version).
Other beverage-inspired choices for girls include the classic names Sherry and Brandy.
Then, for your little boy, there is Dom (Champagne), Ale, Bud, Miller, Harvey (as in Wallbanger) or Rob and Roy. Maybe you can drink your name of choice in a toast after your little one arrives to seal the deal.
If you could not get enough pasta during your pregnancy, then you may want to go with Alfredo. Other interesting choices for a food-inspired boys' name include Graham (as in cracker), Jordan (as in almonds), Rueben (as in the sandwich) and Napoleon (as in the yummy dessert).
If you need more inspiration, then maybe you should keep a food diary. This can be a great way to see what you love the most and get great ideas of what name will fit your child the best. Alternatively, go to the grocery store with the express purpose of shopping for a name! In this case, you'll want to make a list as you go instead of checking things off.
Now, I think I will go have a Bartlett (a type of pear) with some Chai (spiced tea). Happy name hunting!


High-profile journalist Martin Bashir is returning to BBC News after 12 years away.
Bashir takes up the role of religious affairs correspondent, replacing Caroline Wyatt who stepped down this summer after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
The posting was advertised online as a grade 10 role, which according to an internal BBC report published by the Telegraph attracts an average salary of £60,000.
Bashir made his name conducting high-profile interviews, including with Princess Diana and Michael Jackson, as well as documentaries such as an investigation into abuse within the Church of Scientology and exposing the "BALCO" performance-enhancing drugs scandal.
Bashir worked as a BBC News correspondent from 1987 to 1992 before moving on to Panorama for five years.
He presented BBC Radio 4's Sunday programme until 2004 before switching to ITV's Tonight.
Later he moved to the USA to host ABC's Nightline programme. In 2010 he joined NBC News as an anchor for MSNBC and a correspondent on NBC's Dateline programme.
He resigned from MSNBC in 2013 after he accused Sarah Palin of making light of slavery and called her America's "resident dunce".
Jonathan Munro, head of BBC Newsgathering, said: "Martin's track record in enterprising journalism is well known and respected in the industry and amongst our audiences.
The Guardian describe Bashir in 2003 as a "devoutly Christian introvert".
Ha ha – its not April fools day is it. Martin Bashir – only claim to fame was that he was used as Dianas puppet and that won him a job in the US where he continued to excel at … nothing really. I really do dislike these front men/women who are pushed to the front and given lots of money only for them to fail to deliver.


Serving flavored milk is a good way for children to get enough calcium.
With syrup made from our concentrate, its never been easier to get kids to drink their milk. This goes for grownups, too. Serving chocolate and other flavored milk is a good way to make sure children get enough calcium in their diets. It is important for kids to drink milk because it contains calcium and eight other essential nutrients that contribute to strong bones and overall growth. Flavored milk makes everyone happy - children love the taste and adults can feel good about its nutrient content.
Encourage kids to add chocolate or other flavored syrups to white milk - kids are more likely to eat what they help prepare. Since the syrup is a liquid it mixes easily even in cold drinks. You don't have to worry about lumps of powder gagging you.
Fill the 'fridge with single-serve containers of white milk. Add their favorite flavored syrup right in the carton and you're all set for a convenient snack on the go.
Designate one ice cube tray for making flavored milk cubes. Pop a cube or two in a blender for quick and tasty shake. Mix different flavored cubes for a special taste treat - strawberry and chocolate, for instance.

Unexpected Goa Trip
All our trips are planned well in advance at least 3 months prior to the travel and all the necessary bookings are done. In the month of December 2014, I was not sure of vacation and could not do any arrangements.
Finally we decided on Goa but not sure of availability of accommodation as it is the month when tourists arrive in the state. After some frantic calls we could arrange stay at temple guest house.
On 23rd December we left Bangalore early morning by a car. As the roads were good we covered a distance of 550 Kms to reach Goa border within 7 hours. Our first stops in Goa for the day were Dudhsagar Falls and Tambi Surla Temple.
We proceed further and reached our temple accommodation in Ponda. Next day, we ventured on the tour of several temples in the area.
On the third day we we planned to tour the churches of Old Goa. But unfortunately at Basilica of Bom Jesus Church was too much crowded as people had gathered there to see the mortal remains of St. Francis Xavier which was taken out and on display for the three days. But for my surprise I could see only Indians in the queue and there were no foreigners.
Finally next day we visited caves, beaches, forts, prehistoric Usgalimal rock engravings before returning back to Bangalore.
Best part of the trip is that we enjoyed the entire trip even though it was decided only 2 days prior to the actual travel. We touched upon all: temples, churches, beach, fort, prehistoric engravings, caves, sanctuary and water falls in a short span.

This is twenty-sixth in the series on the rich cultural heritage of ancient temples in India. The ancient temples are exceptionally carved.
The external wall and the tower of the Lakshmi Narasimha Temple at Bhadravati is beautifully carved. On the external wall in the middle layer there are various sculptures of Hindu deities. On the layer above one can see carvings that resemble small towers.
Similar tower like carvings of bigger size can also be seen on the Rajarani Temple at Bhubaneshwar. The minute carvings in this tower are beautiful and details are amazing.
At Jain Temple in Ranakpur the carvings in the temple ceilings are very unique and differ from every other ceiling in the temple. One of the smaller ceiling has carving of Ohm. It is impossible to count number of ohms carved into it. It is a beautiful carving one should not miss.

Sri Krishna Temple, Udupi
Sri Krishna Math at Udupi is one of the prominent place and is surrounded by many other temples. It was founded in the 13th century by the Vaishnavite saint Shri Madhwacharya one of the greatest saints, philosophers, and religious reformers of India.
It is here that he installed the idol of Lord Krishna that he found in the sea that was covered in sandalwood. Present temple has seen many renovations and has become very colorful.
Adjacent to the temple is sacred tank, where it is believed that the idol was immersed to rid it of all the excess sandalwood.
An interesting legend associated with the temple is that Kanakadasa an ardent devotee of the Lord in the 16th century was denied entry into the temple. He got a glimpse of the Lord through the back window of the temple and sang his praises. Impressed with his devotee, He turned. As a result even today the idol is facing the window with its back to the main entrance. And this window is now called Kanakanakindi.
In front of the temple there are beautiful wooden chariot.

Q: Split cable broadband connection to lan cord and router I am trying to split my cable broadband connection between laptop and router to avoid disconnection during power cuts. Cable broadband is connected even if there is no power. So I am trying to use RJ45 splitter to split the connection from cable into two part. One cable from RJ45 splitter is connected to router and other to laptop. However with this setup the internet is not working at all.
I have limited knowledge of networks so please excuse me if this question is easy.

A: A simple "RJ45 splitter" doesn't work like you think it does.  Hubs, switches and routers are what you use for "splitting" your network connection -- you need one of those to pull off what you're requesting (based on the info given anyway).
To tackle your source problem:  If you want your router to survive a power outage, buy a battery backup (UPS) for it.

Springfield man was released on bond in child rape case. He allegedly abused another kid. The suspect is now facing charges of statutory rape and statutory sodomy.

Harrison Keegan, Springfield News-Leader Published 2:37 p.m. CT Feb. 4, 2019 | Updated 1:42 p.m. CT Feb. 5, 2019
Shawn Ducker (Photo: Greene County Jail)
As part of his bond conditions, Shawn Ducker was not supposed to be around children without supervision.
Ducker, 23, was charged in 2017 with statutory rape after an allegation that he sexually abused a 13-year-old girl in Greene County.
Ducker posted bond in that case, which was set at $10,000 at the request of the Greene County Prosecutor's Office.
Prosecutors now believe that not only did Ducker regularly have unsupervised contact with kids while he was out waiting for trial in that 2017 case, but he might have sexually abused another child.
Ducker was charged Thursday with statutory sodomy involving a 9-year-old victim. Now he's being held in the Greene County Jail with no chance of posting bond.
A probable cause statement for the new charge says the 9-year-old victim came forward last week to say Ducker had forced her to touch his genitals. The girl also allegedly reported that Ducker had slept in the same bed as a different child.
The statement says Ducker declined to speak with Springfield police regarding the new allegations.
Ducker's charges carry possible life sentences.
An attempt to reach Ducker's attorney for comment on Monday was not successful.

Vijayanagar Sugar achieves Bonsucro certification
M/S Vijayanagar Sugar Private Limited is the latest mill in India to achieve Bonsucro certification. The mill, which is in the south west Indian state of Karnataka, has worked with 100 farmers to enable them to achieve certification under the Bonsucro Smallholder Production Standard. The company's commitment to achieving Bonsucro certification has been driven by its desire to mainstream sustainable sugarcane production and good agricultural practices in its region. Vijayanagar Sugar also wanted to bring the farmers supplying the mill along on the sustainability journey.
India is the second largest producer of sugar in the world, and uses about 4,800 000 ha of land to cultivate sugarcane. This is especially remarkable considering India's sugarcane sector relies on more than six million smallholder farmers. Typically, an Indian farmer's sugarcane land is about a quarter of a hectare and yields an average of 70 tonnes of cane per hectare.
We spoke to Vijayanagar Sugar's Director of Operations, Mr B Sivarami Reddy, about the process the mill undertook to become certified and how the company ensured that smallholders were included in the process.
The certification journey
"We chose to become certified in the hope of continuing our contribution to the generation of best practice in sugarcane, and to the sustainable development of our region" Mr Reddy explained. As an added benefit to this decision, Vijayanagar Sugar found that using the Bonsucro Standards and Calculator gave the mill the opportunity to focus on improving efficiency in its factory and field operations.
Once the decision was made to pursue Bonsucro certification, the mill undertook a gap analysis against the Standard. "We identified some environmental and social impacts, fertiliser use efficiency, water use efficiency in the field and factory performance in the Mill which we needed to improve. We made an action plan with the help of Pragya Consultancy to reach the Standard's criteria" says Mr Reddy.
Due to the traditionally small size of sugarcane farms in India, growers rarely have environmental management plans or health and safety plans in place. Both of these plans are requirements under the Bonsucro Smallholder Production Standards. As a result, Vijayanagar Sugar worked closely with Bonsucro and Peterson Consulting to train the Mill's extension services and growers on developing and implementing these plans.
Mr Reddy shared that the support of these key partners was valuable in the mill's certification journey: "We would like to express our sincere thanks to Mrs Ritu Baruah, Bonsucro's Regional Coordinator for India and Peterson Consulting who gave training to staff and growers regarding environmental, and health and safety plans. Pragya Consulting who gave training to staff regarding the Bonsucro Standards. A special thanks to Control Union, which supported the Mill throughout the process of certification."
In addition to improving and maintaining and its sustainability initiatives and monitoring systems, Vijayanagar Sugar is planning to next expand their certification to include more smallholder farmers that supply the mill to improve the growers' competitiveness. The company hopes that certification will enable it to access new markets.
"Congratulations Vijayanagar! The commitment of the senior management and dedication of a small team at Vijayanagar Sugar is an outstanding example to learn from. They participated in all the Bonsucro training programs, put into practice the learnings, discussed the challenges, worked towards solutions and their efforts have yielded results."
– Ritu Barah, Bonsucro's Regional Coordinator in India

Beath, Mapanga,School Partner Outreach
by MaSP | Nov 12, 2020 | News
School bursary coordinator for Beath, Mapanga and Njale Mr Peter Mchenga had school visits on 4th -5th November in Zomba at 4 schools, with an aim of learning how learners are doing at the school and appreciate how the school is copping up with covid19 pandemic challenges.
St Patricks, Mountain View school for the deaf, Malosa, Zomba Catholic Secondary Schools where uniquely chosen as some of the learners from Mapanga and Njale primary schools are now enrolled with the schools. It is through Beath that the students are on bursary in the secondary schools mentioned. Beath is assisting the students with transport money and groceries and also money to support feeding.
Mchenga Said that in all the schools that were visited during this tour all schools are adhering to preventive measures that were put in place by the Government of Malawi as school were re-opening in September.
Some of the measures that were put in place include; Both teachers and students should be putting on face masks, the school has to have hands washing facilities in all entry points, Classes have to been splinted into small number to maintain social distance.
It was also discovered during the visits that some of the students that have enrolled in secondary school there have fees that been paid for, while some have not yet paid and that they hope that the fees will be paid as the school progresses.
Mchenga was quick to say that there should be monitoring mechanism for learners whenever they are on holidays and also that the school bursary has to have clear policies for implementation, lobby and advocate for solar system of electricity as ESCOM electricity is expensive and it takes time to be maintained when a fault develops.
Some of the challenges that were noted during the visits are that; Mountain View School for the deaf has no electricity which resulted into problems of operations and communication. They also had to sensitize parents of three awardees not to leave everything in the hands of Beath, Mchenga lamented.
