Mankind was created with a natural inclination to love the Divine. It is in His presence that we find true tranquility. Yet in an age in which we are deluded by the self and materialism is elevated above all else, the quest for true love is veiled and the search for meaning continues.
Join us for a 3 day knowledge intensive with Shaykh Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Ninowy as we explore the concept of love. The knowledge intensive will be based on his newly released collection of aphorisms entitled, "The Book of Love." The text comprises four chapters: Awakening to Self-Realization; Signs on the Path of Love; Illuminations and Live your Love.
Shaykh Ninowy will be joined by our own Ustadh Salim Moeladawilah, who will be presenting a summary on the text of the late Shaykh Ramadan al-Buti (RA). The text explores the concepts of: Love of Allah for His creation, love of creation for Allah, and the love between creation.
Entry to the intensive includes a daily lunch.
For more information, refer to the FAQs below.
Can I bring my child along with me?
Children are welcome to attend all events. However, child minding facilities are not available and parents will be responsible for ensuring their children are not disturbing other students. Children aged 7 - 12 who are not partaking in the class will be required to purchase a 'child' ticket to cover the cost of their meal. Children under 7 are free of charge and do not require a ticket.
Will "The Book Of Love" be available to purchase?
Yes, you will be able to purchase the book at the knowledge intensive and the public lecture on the day before.
I can only attend one day, do I still need to pay the full fee?
Unfortunately, yes. Due to the manner in which the course fees are structured, all attendees are required to pay the full fee.
Classes will commence at 10.00am sharp, so we strongly recommend you arrive 20 minutes early, caffeinated and ready to learn!
Along with lunch, tea, coffee, water and light refreshments will also be available for free throughout the day.
We strongly recommend preparing yourself with an intent to learn, including: ensuring you are rested the night before, and bringing your preferred note-taking device or method (whether your digital or analogue, all you need is a pen and a notepad).
Please email us about your circumstances info@wayfarerslantern.org and we'll do our best to help.

There's a really good feeling on Frenchmen Street. Something is right about the feng shui! It has a cozier feeling than the French Quarter, plus no hoards of tourists. This is where the locals go to hear live music.
Stroll down the short, colorful street in the early evening and you are bound to hear fabulous sounds coming from several venues. The best: The Spotted Cat Music Club. Man, do they have good bands! You must be 21 years and older to go to this bar. If you want to listen to live music with your kids, Bamboula's Bar and Grill is a good choice. Here, in the attractive brick interior, you can hear talented artists starting at around 5pm. The food is so so, as with all bar and grill restaurants.
After dark, it's not very safe in this area.
Stroll slowly down Frenchmen Street listening to the bands and you'll want to move to New Orleans!
Another place to hear live music with kids is Little Gem Saloon in the Central Business District. This restaurant has an expensive, more formal atmosphere.
The Spotted Cat Music Club with a band by the window rocking the street!
Red and yellow historic building on Frenchmen Street.
The Spotted Cat Music Club is in a beat-up historic building.
Three Muses, in a cream and red historic building.
Dat Dog. Look at the amazing wrought-iron balcony!

Q: Curve in $(\mathbb{R},<)$ going to infinity My question is the following: Given the structure $(\mathbb{R},<)$ and $t \in \mathbb{R}$, can I have a definable function $f$ over a finite set of parameters, with domain $(-\infty, t)$ and with $lim_{x \to t} f(x) = \infty$ ?
Thanks!

A: No. Suppose $f$ is a function $D \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ (here $D\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ is the domain of $f$) definable in the language $\{<\}$. Then $D$ can be expressed as a union of finitely many intervals, such that on each of these intervals, $f$ is either constant or the identity function.
This follows from quantifier elimination for the theory of dense linear orders. If you'd like more details, I can write them out later.

Edit: Based on your comment, I guess you'd like more details.
First, notice that $\text{Th}(\mathbb{R},<) = \text{DLO}$, the theory of dense linear orders without endpoints. I'll assume you're familiar with the fact that this theory has quantifier elimination.
What are the definable subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ in this language? You can easily check that the set defined by an atomic formula in one free variable looks like $\{a\}$, $(-\infty,a)$, $(a,\infty)$, $\mathbb{R}$, or $\emptyset$ (corresponding to $x = a$, $x < a$, $a < x$, $x = x$, and $x < x$). In the cases involving $a$, $a$ is a parameter in the atomic formula. This is what makes $(\mathbb{R},<)$ so much simpler than the general o-minimal case - if we have the structure of a field around, for example, we could form terms from $a$ and obtain intervals with different endpoints.
By quantifier elimination, every formula in one free variable is equivalent to a boolean combination of atomic formulas. Using disjunctive normal form, you can see that such a thing can always be expressed a finite union of points and open intervals. Moreover, the points and the endpoints of the intervals involved are all among the parameters in the formula!
What are the definable functions in this language? Suppose $\phi_f(x,y)$ is a formula, with hidden parameters $\overline{r}$, defining the function $f$ (so $\mathbb{R}\models \phi_f(a,b)$ iff $f(a) = b$). For any $a$ in the domain of $f$, $\phi_f(a,y)$ defines a subset of $\mathbb{R}$. This subset is just a singleton, $\{f(a)\}$, so $f(a)$ must be among the parameters of $\phi_f(a,y)$. That is, $f(a)$ must be $a$ or one of the parameters in $\overline{r}$.
We've seen that at each point $a$ in the domain of $f$, we have $f(x) = x$ or $f(x) = r_i$ one of finitely many constants $\overline{r}$. To finish, note that the formulas $\phi_f(x,x)$ and $\phi_f(x,r_i)$ pick out the subsets of $\mathbb{R}$ on which $f$ exhibits each of these behaviors. Each of these subsets is a finite union of intervals, so we can decompose the domain of $f$ into a finite union of intervals, on each of which $f$ is constant or the identity function.

It is mighty fine to spread love and cheer. Do not hold back just because others may feel uncomfortable with affection. Even though they may behave like they do not like it, at the end of the day they still need it, so continue giving your love freely.
Be careful with the salt intake and greasy foods. Focus on eating more steamed veggies and protein such as eggs.
It is fine to be straight up and speak what is on your mind. However, use your heart while doing it, and keep karma in mind. Karma does not discriminate and it will get you back when you least expect it… negative or positive.
#Love #Go for it #Happiness. That is right sweet Cancer, love is in the air. Not just romance love, however, love in general, which means you can expect loads of kindness and support from family, friends and co-workers.
Keep on keeping on. Do not lose your focus now. It does not matter if it is your job, your weight, your relationship or your new goal, stick to it.
Things may not be where you would prefer them to be, but always keep this in mind 'the darkest hour is before dawn.' So even if it is bleak for you right now, things will lift within the next 21 days to 50 days.
Keep up the good work. You may not feel like as if you are making gigantic steps, but that is okay. Sometimes it is the smallest of steps that makes the biggest difference.
Hold your tongue in tight. If you are not careful then you will most definitely say something you will not be able to take back so easily.
A person who will impact your life positively will come to you in the form of a friend or love. Be open to the way of doing things, because their way can ignite new ways in you.
Try not to get stressed out over things you cannot change. Deal with them as best you can. At the end of the day there is not much else you can do.
Stick to the facts. Going off track and talking about things that will not impact the situation positively will not help make matters better.
A change of life is in the wind and you will need to step out of your comfort zone if you want to be included.


Socialization of the educational system. Introduction of Soviet-style curricula.
Before the first 5-year plan, China's educational system is socialized. All private schools are closed. While the system still has many organizational structures from the Republican period, education is increasingly reformed according to the Soviet-style model - particularly at the University level. In primary school, there are usually 4-year lower grade classes and 2-year upper grade classes. At the secondary level, there is a dual system of vocational and general schools. The vocational schools should qualify the students for the labor market.
The general schools should prepare for the university. In (remote) rural areas there are also community-run schools (Miniban), which should provide basic education for the farmers. Usually they are poorly equipped and staffed. In 1952 the government establishes high-level key schools (usually in cities), where the best students should be prepared for university.


1.1 Misconduct is defined as improper interference in the broadest sense with the proper functioning or activities of the institution, or with those who work or study in the institution, or action which otherwise damages the institution whether on University premises or elsewhere.
1.2 Misconduct is classed as either minor or major depending on the seriousness of the alleged offence, and the specific procedures for each are set out below.
minor damage to property (including but not exclusive to as a result of fly posting to University property).
conduct which, by whatever means, interferes with the normal operation of the University's business or which is likely to bring the University into disrepute.
1.5 The most serious offences, such as assaulting University staff in the course of their duties, shall normally warrant the most severe of penalties, i.e. expulsion and permanent withdrawal from the University.
1.6 In all cases where in their opinion the gravity of the offence appears to warrant it or the appropriate penalty might be beyond the limit fixed for a minor offence, the University officer to whom the case has been reported is obliged to report the case to the Registrar. It shall be the responsibility of the Registrar to determine whether the case shall be considered under the major offences procedure.
2.1 All students of the University are subject to the jurisdiction of the Vice-Chancellor and the Senate, in respect both of their studies and their conduct.
2.3 Offences which take place on licensed University premises may also be subject to additional action, which may include a ban from the premises for a fixed period of time, by the licensee, who has a legal duty not to permit drunken, violent, quarrelsome or disorderly conduct to take place on the premises.
2.4 The Students' Union operates separate disciplinary regulations to which its members are also subject.
2.5 Where a disciplinary penalty is imposed on a student in accordance with these regulations for a major offence and that student is also an employee of the University or any of its subsidiaries or a member of the Residential Life Team, the Registrar should notify the Director of the People Group and, where relevant, a Senior Warden, for consideration as to whether any further action is required.
2.6 Where at any point in the disciplinary process there is concern about a student's health or capacity to study the Registrar may refer the matter either to be dealt with through the University's Fitness to Attend Protocol or by direct referral to a Continuation of Registration Committee in accordance with Regulation 36 (Regulations governing Student Registration, Attendance and Progress). In a case referred directly to a Continuation of Registration Committee the disciplinary process will normally be suspended until the Registrar determines that it should be reactivated.
2.7 Where a student is enrolled on a degree apprenticeship, the University will be required to notify the employer of the apprentice of any temporary or permanent limitations to the apprentice's ability to fully engage with their programme.
3.1 Any officer named in this Regulation may appoint a nominee to act on his/her behalf, and references to that officer shall be taken to include reference to such a nominee.
3.2 No-one involved in deciding an appeal under this Regulation shall have had a prior involvement with the disciplinary case.
3.3 A student who is charged with a disciplinary offence under this Regulation will always be specifically informed of the details of the alleged offence and given the opportunity to defend themselves. During any investigation of that disciplinary offence, the student will be notified that they are under investigation and that they should approach Wellbeing Support Services and/or the Students' Union Advice Centre for advice as to procedure and the action which they may take. The student will also be advised of other sources of support, including their Personal/Departmental Tutor, supervisor and University Dean of Students, for advice relating to academic progress and/or potential mitigation.
3.4 Where disciplinary allegations have been made against two or more students or a number of students are involved in a disciplinary incident that is investigated under this Regulation, the investigation may be undertaken by the same Investigating Officer. Should the Registrar convene a Discipline Committee to consider the case of two or more individuals, it may be that the same Discipline Committee will hear the cases, though differing determinations may be made depending on the evidence and any aggravating or mitigating features of the case which may not apply equally to all students against whom a charge is made.
3.5 A student charged with a minor offence may be accompanied at any meeting with the authorised officer or any disciplinary or appeal hearing by another student from the University or a member of staff from the University or Students' Union. A student charged with a major offence may be accompanied at any meeting with the Investigating Officer or any disciplinary or appeal hearing by any one other person. The student will normally be expected to speak on their own behalf in their own defence.
3.6 Where a student does not appear on the date appointed for a hearing under this Regulation, and the authorised officer or committee is satisfied that the student has received notice to appear and has not provided a satisfactory explanation for their absence, the authorised officer or committee may proceed to deal with the case and if appropriate, impose an appropriate penalty in the absence of the student.
3.7 The Discipline Committee or the Appeals Committee will also be subject to any further University guidelines approved by the Senate. Subject to the terms of this Regulation and any such guidelines, an authorised officer or committee has the power to determine their own procedure for hearing a case, always providing that they observe the rules of natural justice at each stage. The authorised officer or committee may postpone, continue or adjourn the case at their discretion. The hearings of the Discipline Committee or the Appeals Committee will normally be serviced by a Secretariat appointed by the Registrar.
3.8 Both the student and the University may call witnesses to give evidence at any disciplinary hearing, provided that details of witnesses (and copies of any written evidence or other documents) are provided typically at least five working days in advance of the date of the hearing. Witnesses may be questioned by both parties and the authorised officer or committee hearing the case.
3.9 In all cases a written record of the proceedings will be kept, and, where appropriate, a précis of the statements of witnesses given during the hearing.
3.10 The student will be notified in writing of the outcome of any formal disciplinary process under this Regulation.
3.11 In cases where guilt is admitted or the charge is proved, a record of the offence and of the penalty will be filed, by the authorised officer or Committee Secretariat concerned, in the office of the Registrar.
3.12 The outcome of any disciplinary or appeal hearing will include a determination as to the length of time for which the decision will be retained on the student's University record and which, for instance, might be highlighted in any reference requested during that period. Where the student has been either temporarily or permanently withdrawn on the grounds of disciplinary action, this will form part of the student's formal record and transcript.
3.13 The University may vary any part of this Regulation in order to comply with its duty to make reasonable adjustments for people with disabilities.
4.1 Where a student's conduct may pose a risk to other students or University staff or where a student's continued access to University facilities may interfere with the investigation of an offence, the student may be suspended from classes, any part of the University or the University as a whole, at the Vice-Chancellor's discretion, pending the conclusion of any action under these regulations and/or any criminal proceedings. This suspension is not a sanction, but is used to protect the University community or reputation or a particular member or members of the University.
4.2 The reasons for the suspension will be put in writing and will be subject to periodic review on at least a monthly basis and the student will be informed of the outcome of the review. The student may request a review of the suspension and/or is conditions if there is a relevant change in their circumstances. The request should be made in writing to the Vice-Chancellor (or their nominee), who will ensure a response is provided within ten University working days.
4.3 Where the student is also an employee of the University or any of its subsidiaries or a member of the Residential Life team, the Vice-Chancellor should notify the Director of the People Group and, where relevant, a Senior Warden, for consideration as to whether any further action is required.
5.1 The fact that criminal proceedings have been instituted or have concluded does not preclude the University from taking its own disciplinary action, if it is thought fitting or necessary to do so.
5.2 The fact that the Police are unable or unwilling to proceed does not preclude the University from taking its own disciplinary action.
A fine of £250 to be payable typically within two months of the incident, by the end of the academic year, or by the end of the student's period of study, whichever is the first to arise.
Where a student admits the charge of being in possession of and/or using a Class B or C illegal substance, they may appeal only the above penalty only on the ground set out in paragraph 7.1.3(c) below. Should a student wish to appeal the penalty applied, they should submit their appeal to the Registrar together with the additional evidence within 15 University working days of the penalty being communicated.
5.4 Should a student be alleged to have been knowingly in possession and/or using Class B or C illegal substances but not all of the criteria set out in 5.3 above are met or the Registrar determines that the features of the case warrant it, the Registrar will progress formal investigation of the case under section 8 Major Offences under this Regulation.
5.5 In cases where the student is known by the University to have committed an offence relating to illegal substances in line with the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, a subsequent allegation of possession and/or using Class B or C illegal substances will result in the Registrar progressing investigation of the case under section 8 Major Offences under this Regulation.
5.6 In cases involving possession and/or use of Class A illegal substances and/or suspected intent to supply illegal substances in line with the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 or other such serious and aggravating cases involving illegal substances, the case typically will be reported to the Police and the Registrar will progress investigation of the case under section 8 Major Offences, and exceptionally section 4 precautionary suspension, of this Regulation typically taking into account any related Police investigation and/or criminal proceedings.
6.1.2 When an alleged minor offence is reported to an authorised officer they will carry out any investigation they deem appropriate (or may appoint a member of the University staff to investigate on their behalf).
6.1.3 The authorised officer shall determine whether the student should be charged with a minor offence or whether the matter is more serious and should be referred to the Registrar for action under the major offences procedure.
Reclassification of the offence as a major offence and referral to the Registrar for action under the major offences procedure.
Any penalty imposed by an Authorised Officer under this Regulation must be reported to the Registrar.
6.2.2 The authorised officer may suspend the implementation of any penalty subject to conditions notified to the student.
6.2.3 The limits of these penalties may be reviewed periodically by authority of the Senate.
6.3.1 The student will be notified in writing of the alleged minor offence and invited to a hearing conducted by the authorised officer; the student will be asked to present their views and any mitigation either in writing prior to the hearing or orally at the hearing prior to any determination being made and any penalty being assigned.
6.3.2 If the student admits the alleged minor offence and there are no exceptional mitigating and/or aggravating features the authorised officer may dispense with the hearing and proceed to impose a disciplinary penalty in accordance with paragraph 6.2 above.
7.1.1 The student has a right of appeal to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (also known as the Provost) against the authorised officer's decision and/or any penalty imposed under this Regulation and any other Regulations, Codes or Policies that refer to it. The student must exhaust any appeal process set out in other Regulations, Codes or Policies before bringing an appeal under these provisions.
7.1.2 The Deputy Vice-Chancellor, or should there be no serving Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, may appoint a Pro-Vice-Chancellor to deal with the appeal (and all references to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor in this paragraph 7 shall include reference to that Pro-Vice-Chancellor).
d) that in light of new evidence which the appellant was unable to present to the authorised officer at the original hearing or appeal the penalty imposed by the authorised officer is excessive in relation to the offence committed.
7.2.1 The student must submit the appeal in writing to the Registrar on behalf of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, stating the grounds on which the appeal is brought, within 15 University working days of the authorised officer's decision, together with any new evidence should the appeal be made under 7.1.3(c) above.
7.2.2 Prior to consideration of the appeal by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar shall consider the appeal to establish that a prima facie case for appeal exists. Appeals should not be considered where, in the opinion of the Registrar, the appellant has failed to bring the appeal within any of the grounds listed in paragraph 7.1.3 above. Should a case have been initially brought by the Registrar as an authorised officer under 6.1.1, the Director of the People Group would normally undertake this consideration.
7.2.3 If there are prima facie grounds for appeal the Deputy Vice-Chancellor will assign an appropriate senior member of University staff to undertake a review of the case and they may request such further information as they deem appropriate. The individual assigned by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor to review the case will not normally hold a hearing but may choose to do so, in which case the authorised officer and the appellant will be invited to attend, and the hearing will be conducted in accordance with the principles set out at paragraph 3.6 above.
7.2.4 In determining appeals, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor may set aside, vary or confirm the decision of the authorised officer or may set aside or vary the penalty imposed.
7.2.5 The decision of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor on an appeal is final, and the student will be issued with a completion of procedures letter.
8.1.1 When an alleged major offence is reported to the Registrar they shall appoint an Investigating Officer to carry out an investigation of the case. The Investigating Officer shall have the power to carry out such investigations as they deem appropriate, including interviewing the student and any other witnesses.
8.1.2 Having received the report of findings from the Investigating Officer, the Registrar shall determine whether further investigation is necessary or whether a charge should be brought forward and if so, whether the student should be charged with a major offence or whether the matter is less serious and should be dealt with by the Registrar (or their nominee) as a minor offence.
8.1.3 Where an alleged offence is being dealt with under the provisions of section 2.2 above (referral from Ordinances and other Regulations, Codes and Policies), the Registrar shall first determine whether an Investigating Officer should be appointed to carry out an investigation or whether sufficient evidence already exists for a charge to be brought forward (and if so, whether the student should be charged with a major offence or whether the matter is less serious and should be dealt with as a minor offence).
8.2.1 The Discipline Committee deals with major offences including those escalated under 5.4-5.6 and 6.1.3 above or initially investigated and/or referred under other Regulations or protocols due to the severity of the offence. This ability to request the Registrar to investigate and/or convene a Discipline Committee to hear a case of an alleged major offence also applies to cases referred by the Students' Union or a license holder of a venue on the University's campuses.
Two student members (normally sabbatical officers of the Students' Union) whose names shall be communicated to the Registrar by the President of the Students' Union.
8.2.3 The quorum of the Discipline Committee is three members, one of whom shall be a student member unless the student charged with the offence objects (see paragraph 8.4.2).
8.3.2 Where the student is registered on a course which falls within Regulation 34 (Regulation for the Determination of Fitness to Practise) the Discipline Committee must in addition refer the matter to be dealt with in accordance with that Regulation. Cases considered under Regulation 34 may also be considered under this Regulation where appropriate and as determined by the Registrar in consultation with the relevant academic department.
8.3.3 Where a student is known to be engaging in regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults, any matter which may call into question their suitability must be reported to the Director of the People Group and the University's Designated Person for Safeguarding.
8.3.4 The Discipline Committee may suspend the implementation of any penalty subject to conditions notified to the student.
8.4.1 A student charged with a major offence will receive a written summons, giving a brief but clear specification of the charge and giving them at least ten University working days' notice to appear before the Discipline Committee.
c) they should seek advice as to procedure and the action which they may take as set out in section 3.3 above.
8.4.3 If the student wishes to admit the charge, they will be asked to do so in writing to the Registrar typically via the Secretary to the Discipline Committee within three University working days of receipt of the summons so that the appropriate arrangements can be made for the hearing, including setting the order of proceedings.
8.4.4 The student may also admit the charge or part of it at any stage of the proceedings.
8.4.5 The University's case will be presented by the Registrar or a member of the Registrar's staff appointed by the Registrar. The evidence on behalf of the student (should they wish to give evidence) will then be heard.
8.4.6 Both the student and the member of the University staff presenting the case shall be allowed to make a final address, the student normally having the last word.
8.4.7 The student and anyone accompanying them and the member of the University staff presenting the case will withdraw while the Discipline Committee considers its decision, and return to hear it delivered.
8.4.8 If the student admits the charge or the Discipline Committee finds the charge proved, the student shall be heard in mitigation before any penalty is determined. The Discipline Committee typically will be convened to assign penalty and will consider relevant mitigation and features of the case as put forward by the University and the student. Only exceptionally will witnesses be called at this stage, however, the Committee may request and consider appropriate professional advice and additionally contextual information prior to making its determination or within the hearing. The Discipline Committee may accept mitigation from the student solely in writing rather than in writing and in person at the hearing if the student consents to this. In determining the penalty, the Discipline Committee shall take into account any record of previous misconduct.
8.4.9 The outcome of any hearing held by a Discipline Committee will typically be communicated to the student in writing within six University working days of the date of the hearing and the student will be informed if, exceptionally, there is good cause for this time period to be extended.
9.1.1 The student has a right of appeal from any decision of the Discipline Committee to the Discipline Appeals Committee of the Senate.
d) that in light of new evidence the penalty imposed by the authorised officer is excessive in relation to the offence committed.
9.1.4 The appeal hearing will normally take the form of a review unless the Chair of the Discipline Appeals Committee decides that a new hearing is required.
9.2.1 The student has 42 days following the written notification of the decision of the Discipline Committee in which to make an appeal (in writing, to the Registrar, acting on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor) for a hearing by the Discipline Appeals Committee of the Senate. When submitting the appeal the appellant must state the grounds on which the appeal is made, and include any relevant evidence to support their case that the grounds for appeal are met.
9.2.2 Appeals shall be considered initially by the Chair of the Discipline Appeals Committee in consultation with one other member of the committee to establish that a prima facie case for appeal exists. Appeals shall not be considered where, in the opinion of the Chair and the consulted member of the Discipline Appeals Committee, the appellant has failed to bring the appeal within any of the grounds listed in paragraph 9.1.2 above.
9.2.3 The Discipline Appeals Committee (through the Registrar) will give the appellant at least ten University working days' notice of the date of the appeal hearing.
9.2.4 The appellant will be provided with a copy of the written record of the proceedings of the Discipline Committee. The Discipline Committee may prepare its own report to the Appeals Committee in addition to the written record of proceedings, with such comments as it may wish to make on the reliability of evidence. This report will also be made available to the appellant.
9.2.5 The Appeals Committee has power on cause shown to permit the appellant to call or present additional evidence, in which event the member of the Registrar's staff responsible for the presentation of the disciplinary case may be permitted to call or present further evidence to meet any new or additional issues raised by the appellant.
9.2.6 Should a hearing be determined necessary, the appellant will be the first party to address the Discipline Appeals Committee.
9.2.7 The member of the Discipline Committee responsible for responding to the appeal will then address the Appeals Committee.
9.2.8 The appellant and anyone accompanying them and the member of the Discipline Committee will withdraw while the Discipline Appeals Committee considers its decision, and return to hear it delivered.
9.2.9 In the case of an adverse decision (except in appeals solely against penalty) the appellant may make a plea in mitigation of penalty.
9.2.10 The Discipline Appeals Committee has power to confirm, set aside or vary a finding or decision of the Discipline Committee or to set aside or vary any penalty imposed by the Discipline Committee. This may include increasing the original penalty imposed by the Discipline Committee. The Discipline Appeals Committee may in addition refer the matter to be dealt with under Regulation 34 (Regulation for the Determination of Fitness to Practise).
9.2.11 The decision of the Appeals Committee is final, and the student will be issued with a completion of procedures letter.
9.2.12 Where a student is expelled or temporarily withdrawn from the University and is resident in University or University-managed accommodation, the University may take further action under Regulation 27 (On-Campus Residential Accommodation Regulations).
Where a student is expelled or temporarily withdrawn from the University, the University may be required to notify government or other regulatory agencies.

Women's Day Speech 2011
Address by Northern Cape Premier Hazel Jenkins on the occassion of the Women's Day Celebrations, 09 August 2011, Upington, Siyanda District, Progress Park
Programme Director
MEC for Sport, Arts and Culture, Pauline Williams
Other members of the Executive Council present
All Political Formations
Esteemed Guests
Today we are commemorating the 55th anniversary of the women's anti-pass march to the Union Buildings. It was on this day when over 20 000 courageous South African women marched to the Union Buildings in protest against apartheid in general and in particular the hated system of pass laws.
These pioneers left their footprints and an indelible mark in the history of our liberation struggle. In the face of the might of the apartheid junta these heroines did not flinch in their commitment to demand for women's emancipation, equal rights and an end to all apartheid discriminatory laws. They were led amongst other by gallant fighters that included Lillian Ngoyi, Helen Joseph, Sophie de Bruyn and Rahima Moosa.
When we celebrate this day, we therefore honour, remember and salute all women from all generations who have been part of our struggle and have made significant contributions. Among them we can count women such as Charlotte Maxeke, Albertina Sisulu, Florence Mophosho, Ellen Khuzwayo, Dulcie September, Adelaide Tambo, Ruth First, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Gertrude Shope, Ida Mtwana, Dorothy Nyembe, Evelyn Debruyn and many others who left their mark through their various contributions.
The commemoration of Women's Month provides a platform for visible communication on government programmes and interventions aimed at improving the status of women in the country. On this day, we salute all women for their achievements irrespective of who they are. We review past progress of women's development, and more importantly looking ahead at the opportunities that await future generations of women in South Africa.
The theme for the 2011 Women's Month is:
"WORKING TOGETHER TO ENHANCE WOMEN'S OPPORTUNITIES TO ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT"
As we celebrate the National Women's Day, we acknowledge that we still have a long way to go to achieve full emancipation of women from the hardships they have experienced because of their race, gender and social class.
Rural women still have the most difficulty in accessing education, health and other basic services. Where there are no basic services such as running water in the close proximity, these women are the ones who had to walk long distance to fetch water from the river for use by the whole household. They are the ones who have to go into the bushes and collect woods for families with no electricity.
They literary keep the fire burning and are keeping families together while many rural men went to work in the urban areas. Some women still face these challenges in their everyday life. Unfortunately, this major contribution made by women and rural women in particular has never been and is still not being valued nor appreciated.
Sexual violence against women and girls and rape are issues that remain a challenge in our society. Poverty and poor living conditions have added to women's vulnerability to violence and increased risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections. The physical trauma of violence and sexual assault has left scars and unimaginable emotional damage on many women.
As government our main focus is to facilitate the empowerment of women to become equal participants in the economic, social and political spheres:
Government acknowledges the historical inequities that have disadvantaged women, limiting development opportunities and representation in decision-making positions. However over the past 17 years of democracy, Government made deliberate efforts to improve the status of women. Today I can state with full confidence that women representation in Parliament increased drastically from 2, 7% during apartheid to 27% after the historic 1994 elections and reached 44% after 2009 general elections.
South Africa is number four amongst countries with a highest number of women in parliament. 43% of Cabinet Ministers are women. Although a number of women councillors has unfortunately declined from 40% to 38% after 2011 Local Government Elections, the ANC-led government remains committed on its endeavour of 50/50 representation in all spheres of government.
As the government we continue to promote the appointment of women into management positions in the public service and state-owned enterprises including career progression from lower ranks where women are already in majority.
However a need for the promotion and appointment of women to decision-making positions in the private and other sectors can no longer be over emphasised.
By September 2010, 10% of CEOs and chairpersons of boards of companies listed in the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) were women. Women held less than 16% of directorship and 21% of executive management positions.
To accelerate the empowerment of women and address issues of compliance towards the attainment of 50/50 gender parity, the Gender Equality Bill is being developed by the Department for Women, Children and People with Disabilities. Working together we can do more.
The scourge of poverty and underdevelopment does not only affect women in rural areas. It is against this reason that all efforts to create employment including the New Growth Path and the Job Fund must benefit women across all sectors of our society.
Government has labour intensive schemes and programmes such as the Expanded Public Works Programme and the Community Worker Programme which focus on helping women to create local jobs and develop skills. The generation of women of today must emulate the exemplary role of the brave women of 1956 by embracing the opportunities that our new democracy offers.
I can confidently report that government's priority of turning rural areas into thriving centres of development is having a positive impact on women. Rural women are the intended beneficiaries of the programmes and resources that eradicate poverty, such as the War on Poverty campaign. The National Rural Youth Service Corps emphasises 50/50 gender parity in the recruitment of youths to be skilled.
Qualifying beneficiaries get land and property through the Human settlements subsidy programme (assert and wealth creation).
With the assistance from government and other institutions, women's groups are establishing and running productive and profitable rural development projects. Gender parity has been reached on access to education for boys and girls. Working with partners, Government is implementing initiatives to encourage girls to study and pursue careers in the fields of science, technology and engineering. We would like to urge all children especially the girl children of the province, to take advantage of government's scholarships and research funding which are dedicated specifically for women. The initiative meant to help in increasing a number of women in the in the science, technology and engineering sectors.
Allow me to conclude by reassuring you that the Northern Cape provincial government remains committed towards addressing social challenges facing women, particularly the scourge of gender based violence.
Crimes against women and children are a national priority. These crimes have severe, long lasting impact on victims including serious mental health problems; gynaecological complications, unwanted pregnancies, HIV infection; serious physical injuries or disability and ultimately, death. The impact is not limited to a person who experiences it, but also those who witness violence, in particular children.
To coordinate the national response to this scourge, the Department for Women, Children and People with Disabilities is establishing an Advisory Council on Violence against Women and Children. The Council will comprise of key government departments, civil society organizations and other relevant partners and it will coordinate the implementation of the 365 Days National Plan of Action to End Violence against Women and Children.
Thuthuzela Care Centres have been established in areas with high incidents of violence. These are one stop centres where rape victims can lodge a case with the police and receive counselling and medical care including prevention of HIV infection and unwanted pregnancy.
Communities are mobilized to take part in curbing violence against women and children through campaigns such as the Child Protection Week and 16 Days of Activism on No Violence against Women and Children.
Only through women's full and equal participation in all areas of public and private life can we hope to achieve the sustainable, peaceful and just society promised in our government programme of action.
As we celebrate, may we not become complacent and continue to promote skills and decent work and strive to transform our societies and lay the foundations for equitable and sustainable human development
I thank you

Blind Dates Project invited artists from nations formally part of the Ottoman Empire to create a cross-cultural collaboration despite disparate and sometimes tense national relations. The concept behind the collaborations was based on the idea that artists have no pre-known knowledge of one another and begin a new collaborative project together. I developed a logo that reflected this "blind" meeting of artists.

Q: Unity config working backwards I have the following config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>

  </configSections>
  <unity1 configSource="unity1.config" />
  <unity2 configSource="unity2.config" />
</configuration>

and the following in the unity1 file (unity2 is the same but with 2 instead of 1 in the obvious places.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<unity1 xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/practices/2010/unity">
  <alias alias="IInjectMe1" type="CommonLib.IInjectMe1, CommonLib"/>
  <container name="unity1">
    <register type="IInjectMe1" name="Injected1" mapTo="CommonLib.InjectMe1, CommonLib" />
  </container>
</unity1>

I have this code in a single class file in an assembly called CommonLib:
        public void StartUp()
    {
        var config1 = (UnityConfigurationSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("unity1");
        IUnityContainer container = new UnityContainer();
        config1.Configure(container, "unity1");

        var config2 = (UnityConfigurationSection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("unity2");
        config2.Configure(container, "unity2");

        var test1 = container.Resolve<InjectMe1>(); // WHY NOT THE INTERFACE??

        var test2 = container.Resolve<InjectMe2>(); // WHY NOT THE INTERFACE??

        Console.WriteLine(test1 != null && test2 != null);
    }
}

public class InjectMe1 : IInjectMe1 {}

public interface IInjectMe1 {}

public class InjectMe2 : IInjectMe2 {}

public interface IInjectMe2 {}

My question is, above where I've put "WHY NOT THE INTERFACE" why am I having to specify the concrete class instead of the interface? I'm sure it's just late and I can't see the wood for the trees, but I have to specify the concrete type and it creates the correct concrete type. I want to specify the interface and have it resolve.
I want container.Resolve<IInjectMe1>() to work. Note the I for interface.
Edit: If I do the above I get the error:

Test method CommonLib.Tests.UnitTest1.TestMethod1 threw exception:
  Microsoft.Practices.Unity.ResolutionFailedException: Resolution of the dependency failed, type = "CommonLib.IInjectMe1", name = "(none)".
  Exception occurred while: while resolving.
  Exception is: InvalidOperationException - The current type, CommonLib.IInjectMe1, is an interface and cannot be constructed. Are you missing a type mapping?

A: Don't have the compiler at hand but I suspect you'd have to remove name="Injected1" from the XML.
By creating a named registration, you constrain yourself to named resolving. But apparently, you resolve a default registration.


In March 2016, Campus Compact challenged its member institutions to renew the promise of the public purposes of higher education by creating a Civic Action Plan. Along with the leaders of more than 400 higher education institutions, President Brodhead committed Duke to this worthy endeavor. To formulate the Civic Action Plan, the Duke Office of Civic Engagement (DOCE) convened more than 130 faculty, staff, students and community members to discuss how to strengthen civic engagement at Duke. This process was anchored by the Civic Action Plan Statements (page 14) offered by Campus Compact prompting participants in the process to uncover the strengths, weaknesses and possibilities in Duke's partnerships with local, national and international communities. The process has benefited from concurrent initiatives at Duke to formulate a new academic strategic plan and undergraduate curriculum, a parallel that aligns this work with broader institutional planning efforts.
The vision for this plan is captured in the university's academic strategic plan, Together Duke: Advancing Excellence Through Community, to be "a recognized leader in civic engagement, Duke aims to become a model for integrity, consistency and reciprocity of partnerships." To accomplish this, the Civic Action Plan identifies a variety of strategies to facilitate Duke's engagement in sustainable and equitable partnerships, including increased coordination, communication, and knowledge of practices and partnerships across the institution and within the community.

Concert Review of the Moment: Nantes, France, 6/3/09
Barcelona, Spain - Primavera Sound 2009 Festival

Concert Review of the Moment of Neil Young in Nantes, France - 6/3/09 anon said:
Neil Young rocked last night in Nantes. Starting off with Mansion On the Hill on his Gibson Gold Top, he immediately set the tone for a largely electrical concert. As always, the sound was big and clear, the voice sounding amazingly assured for such a start. The soloing was loose against a very tight rhythm (Cromwell/Rosas). The next song was "Hey Hey My My", which set the standing crowd (of which I was) on fire. A great version with much stomping on the big red pedal to reach supersonic sounds on the solos.
Everybody Knows this is nowhere came next, very tight, superb. Then an electric Pocahontas, complete with changes in the verses running order (he started off by the second verse then came back to the first. This was followed by a rocking version of "Spirit Road", with great vocals full of spite and fire. A the end, Larry Cragg came to him with a Gibson Blackburn, but Neil stopped him and said "Words", so Larry went back to stage left and came back with the Gretsch White Falcon, on which Neil played a great version of the song from "Harvest". It's remarkable to notice how his soloing changes when he plays the Gretsch, taking a more jazzy feel and sound. "Cinnamon Girl" came next, very tight again (it looks like those short songs from EKTIN don't need to be overplayed).
Neil then went at the back of the stage to play a magnificent "Mother Earth" on pump organ. The song, in this version is reminiscent of the traditionnal tune "My Lagan Love". Then "Don't Let it Bring You Down", with a guitar that seemed tuned way lower than on 4-Way Street, but that did not prevent him from NOT reaching the high notes ! Then came a real treat : two harmonic chord led into "Goin' Back" (one of my favourites in the acoustic canon) with the full band on acoustic, but the changes in tempo were hard to follow for Chad Cromwell and... Pegi who started the last verse way before Neil, menacing to ruin the song. But they managed to get to the end. Then came "Comes a Time", "Heart of Gold" adn "Old Man" with the full band, Ben Keith magnificent on pedal steel and Larry Cragg on banjo on the chorus of Old Man.
The 2nd electric set began with "Get Back to the counrty" (very country) followed (at last ?) by two extracts from the latest album : "Just Singing A Song" (which grows on me more and more and is definitely a classic on a somewhat poor album) and "Get Behind the Wheel" whose riff sounds great live, and had the crowd roaring ! Then "Down By the River", a very long and great version, loose, but again not so far from the original, except for the guitar sound (again supersonic) and Chad Cromwell's drumming that I find too tight for this kind of loose jamming (sorry Chad, I miss Ralph Molina's drumming on this one). "Keep on Rocking in a Free World" was fantastic, rockin on and on, with some 5 (or was it 6 or 7?) false endings and a hell of a feedback chord at the end (but shorter than the 1996 Broken Arrow tour with Crazy Horse).
We were not yet on our knees and asked for more. Neil came back for "A Day in the Life", a great version, close to the one he did last year on the 2008 tour (and that can be enjoyed on the DVD of "Fork in the Road". Then off they went after 2 hours of a very dense show.
Neil was smiling all along, very at ease, and saying the place was great and that he enjoyed playing here.
Hope there will be other surprises ("Mansion onthe hill", "Going Back", "Words" for all of you who will be attending the next European shows.
Thanks anon!

MS SQL Server is widely used in enterprise networks. Due to its use by third-party applications, support for legacy applications and its use as a database, SQL Server is a treasure trove for attackers. It integrates within an active directory environment very well, which makes it an attractive target for abuse of features and privileges.
In this training, we will see how to attack a SQL Server, not only as an individual service but as a part of the enterprise network. We will discuss the mutual trust which SQL Server has with the domain, its users, and how linked SQL Servers can be abused. We will perform enumeration and scanning, privilege escalation and post-exploitation tasks such as domain privilege escalation, identifying juicy information, command execution, retrieving system secrets, lateral movement, persistence and more.

With the additiona $300, you will get slightly better upper body workout (because of wide handle), Nike + iPod workout tracking, MAXtone pedal, heavier flywheel, and better warranty. If you think these are the things important for you, go with this trainer. If you are not interested in these additional feature, save that $300 and got for the 3.1AE.
This is a solid and smooth elliptical, exactly what you can expect for the price you paid. We love the wide handles and MAXtone pedal. Operation is very quiet and if you maintain your trainer once a while it will always remain quite. Wire connection from the handle to the main frame via pivot joint (which gets hidden by a plastic cover) may seem poor design, but it works.
If your trainer is making noise or resistance is not working as it should, please call AFG on 1-877-GOAFG-55.
Every individual pieces of this elliptical comes well packed, so there is absolutely no chance of being damaged. All the screws, bolts and washers are pre-sorted.
Please use the chart on page 10 of user manual to make sure you have all the required parts. If you can arrange grease or silicon based lubricant, apply them on all moving parts. Follow the 9 steps in the assembly manual, and you should be done within 2 hours.
This trainer comes with Contact Grips and Polar wireless receiver (Chest strap included). We would ask you to avoid contact grip HRS as reading are sometime accurate from contact HRS. always use wireless chest strap when you use the heart rate programs.
This trainer comes with 5 LED Feedback Windows, LED Progress Window. These windows shows: time, distance, calories, Heart rate, speed, date/clock, Watt, RPM, resistance, incline and Profile.
The overall console it self is easy to operate and user friendly. Apart from the LED display, it has: Profile button, change display button, Ipod control, incline (increase-decrease), resistance (increase-decrease), quick adjust keypad, set incline key and set level key. At top right, there is a USB port for future software updates. In the middle of this console there are 2 speakers (quality is average).
Muscle Toner: there are 10 levels to choose, and it basically work toward high resisrance level you help you tone muscles.
Reverse train: changes between forward and backward pedalling with changing resistance. It helps you build better lower body strength. There are 16 levels to choose.
Constant Watt: you will select desired watt range that will maintain you exercise intensity.
Weight Loss: there are 16 levels to choose from, program is designed to burn fat.
THR Zone: it is target heart rate zone training. Will help you gain better cardio vascular health.
HR Intervals: automatically adjust resistance levels within your target heart rate.
Mountain Climb: Gradually increase incline and resistance to simulate climb like experience.
Custom programs: there are 3 custom programs that you can easily make by varying resistance and incline.
It comes with lifetime warranty on frame, 5 years on parts and 2 years on labor. It's actually industry average for an elliptical with this price tag. Hopefully you will never have to claim any warranty, because their Support stuff can be slow depending upon your region.
If you are new to elliptical trainer, you might find the heavy flywheel a bit too much. Sometime this tier out the user and makes them de motivated. We suggest them to get the lighter 3.1 AE. If you already have good endurance and want to train for better cardio (and also have the budget), this is the trainer for you.
does the afg 4.1ae fold?
Is the distance in miles, km ? Weight is pounds, kg ?
You can set it up based on your preference.

Emhoff on combating antisemitism: 'I refuse to be afraid'
by: Alex Gangitano
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff condemned a recent uptick in hateful rhetoric against Jewish people and warned of an "epidemic of hate facing our country" during a roundtable focused on combating antisemitism.
"I will not remain silent. I am proud to be Jewish. I'm proud to live openly as a Jew. I am not afraid. I refuse to be afraid," Emhoff declared during the event with Jewish leaders at the White House on Wednesday.
Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Harris, vowed to continue speaking "out against hate, bigotry and lies" in his position representing the Biden administration.
He led the roundtable at the White House with leaders from the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, American Jewish Committee and the National Council of Jewish Women, among other groups.
"There is an epidemic of hate facing our country," the second gentleman said. "Let me be clear: Words matter. People are no longer saying the quiet parts out loud. They are screaming them."
"We cannot normalize this. We all have an obligation to condemn these vile acts. We must not stay silent. There is no 'either or.' There are no two sides. Everyone must be against this," he added.
Emhoff said he became a lawyer in part so he can stand up for others. He also touted the increased funding that President Biden and Harris have put toward fighting antisemitism during their administration.
Concerns over rising antisemitism were raised recently after former President Trump hosted the rapper Ye and Nick Fuentes, an avowed white nationalist and Holocaust denier, for dinner at his Florida home last month.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, also went on the right-wing radio show of Alex Jones and espoused antisemitic rhetoric attacking Jewish people and expressing appreciation for Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
Others at the roundtable Wednesday included the Anti-Defamation League, Integrity First for America, Agudath and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations.
Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, the administration's special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, and Susan Rice, the White House domestic policy adviser, joined from the White House. Keisha Lance Bottoms, a senior adviser to the president for public engagement, also attended.

Jim Coroneos was a remarkable teacher and a wonderful human being. I had the great privilege of studying from his text books in my senior high school years and, during my first years of teaching, working alongside him as a colleague for a while. Sadly, he passed away almost exactly 10 years ago, in 2005, but you may read something of his life here.
In one of his more advanced texts, he provided a list of 100 Integrals to challenge his students. This list is now used by mathematics teachers and students world wide. The complete list has been produced on a few websites. Click here to obtain a PDF copy of them.
Partly to honour Jim, and partly to fulfil an international need, I have decided to produce 100 videos, showing how to solve his 100 integration 'problems.' I hope you find the videos useful!
As you can see, I have presented the integrals in bundles of 20. Please choose the set that you require.

175 McDermot Avenue
Toronto Type Foundry Building
David Ede
The Toronto Type Foundry Building, a narrow three-storey brick warehouse erected in 1881, is part of a significant turn-of-the-twentieth-century streetscape in Winnipeg's Exchange District, a national historic site of Canada. The City of Winnipeg designation applies to the building on its footprint.
The Toronto Type Foundry Building, a modest structure of typical brick and heavy mill construction, occupies a key site within a rare, nearly intact row of smaller-scale historic warehouses in Winnipeg's Exchange District. The building, erected by monument-maker and architect David Ede as a speculative venture during the city's first major boom, is the oldest in the row of six McDermot Avenue structures that together convey a clear sense of time and place through their complementary designs and materials. Modified in the early 1900s from a more ornate three-bay design to a vernacular-style front and extended at the rear, the warehouse served for 70 years as the home of the Toronto Type Foundry. This firm employed state-of-the-art technologies for job printing and publishing small newspapers, and was one of several such companies clustered on McDermot, also known as Newspaper Row.
Source: City of Winnipeg Committee on Planning and Community Services Minute, August 29, 1988
Key elements that define the heritage character of the Toronto Type Foundry Building site include:
- its centre placement in a block of six period buildings, which, while varying in design and colour, form a compatible and largely intact streetscape on the north side of McDermot Avenue between Main and Rorie streets
Key exterior elements that define the warehouse's heritage character include:
- its three-storey rectangular shape that pushes to the sidewalk and flares in width toward the rear in response to the curve of the street
- its solid masonry construction
- its 1910 facade of brown tapestry brick, with the main-floor storefront window offset by an east entrance and two bays of flat-headed windows above, underscored by stone sills and with elongated stone keystones over the top-floor openings
- its wider five-bay rear (north) elevation incorporating a loading dock and window openings with segmental-arched brick heads and rough limestone sills
Key interior elements that define the building's heritage character include:
- its internal frame of heavy wood posts and beams arranged in three floors with high ceilings and a mezzanine in the back of the first floor
- its wood floors and pressed tin ceilings best seen together at the front entrance and up the front stairs
- its freight elevator

IDINA'S CHARITABLE DEED: "AN ENCHANTED WISH"
AN ENCHANTED WISH
by Madeline Robinson, December 13, 2007
from Kids Wish Network
We recently did a great 'Hollywood Premiere' wish thanks to Idina Menzel, the Tony Award winning actress who is one of the stars of the new Disney movie, 'Enchanted'. This wish was truly spectacular from start to finish!
Samantha, or Sammie to her friends, wished to meet Idina Menzel who is best known for her Tony Award winning portrayal as the star of the Broadway mega-hit, 'Wicked' and her role in 'Rent'. Idina went all out to make sure that Sammie's wish was the best ever. Not only did she meet her for dinner and spend a few hours talking to Sammie, she even listened to Sammie sing and offered her encouragement. Sammie would love to one day be a Broadway star herself! Idina wasn't finished though. She invited Sammie and her mom to be her guests at the Red Carpet Premiere and after party of the movie 'Enchanted'!!! We were all thrilled for her here at the office.

Government pressed to appoint minister for family-owned businesses
Michelle Hammond
A peak lobby group has called for the appointment of a dedicated federal minister to represent the interests of family-owned businesses, following the first National Family Business Day.
Family Business Australia, led by chief executive Philippa Taylor, is the peak body for family business, aiming to support them through "personal, professional and community development".
Yesterday was the inaugural National Family Business Day, with a special morning tea at Parliament House to mark the occasion.
According to Taylor, National Family Business Day has attracted an "overwhelming" level of support from Australian politicians.
"National Family Business Day is all about celebrating Australia's innovation and the families that took a risk around a business idea to create value for generations to come," Taylor says.
"Thirty-six federal members and senators will be showing their support for the family businesses in their electorates by attending the event."
"Forty-eight will be supporting the day through other activities."
According to Taylor, the family business sector accounts for 70% of all Australian businesses, employs 50% of the Australian workforce and is worth $4.3 trillion.
But despite being the "backbone of Australia", Taylor says it is largely ignored by government.
"It is usually lumped together with small business and not consulted about policies that affect it, especially in relation to industrial relations, trusts, taxation and harmonisation," she says.
Family Business Australia would like to see a minister appointed to government who recognises the role of family businesses in the Australian economy.
It has even drafted up a job advertisement, which seeks a "passionate, articulate" parliamentary representative, and outlines the issues they would need to address:
Raise awareness of the contribution the family business sector makes to the Australian economy, community and culture.
Support national universities to achieve funding to address the needs of the sector.
Push for reliable ABS data on family-owned enterprises.
Move goal posts with regard to trust legislation.
Address overregulation.
According to Taylor, it is important to provide education in all areas of family business governance to avoid perpetuating the "clogs to clogs in three generations" adage.
"Many of Australia's largest and most loved companies started off as a family business," she says.
"The defining characteristic of family business that sets it apart from any other business structure is the intention to 'endure'."
"This focus on creating value for future generations rather than turning a quick profit is what makes family business especially important to the Australian economy."


On Monday, a Los Angeles jury awarded damages of $417 million to Eva Echeverria in connection with her decades-long use of Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder for feminine hygiene purposes. Ms. Echeverria alleged her use of the talcum product caused her ovarian cancer.
California's first trial alleging that Johnson & Johnson's talcum powder products (Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower Powder) have caused ovarian cancer in women who use the products for feminine hygiene will begin today in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
On Thursday, a Missouri state court jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay a Virginia woman more than $110 million based on her claim that she developed ovarian cancer after decades of using the company's talcum powder products for feminine hygiene. The verdict is the largest yet in five trials raising similar claims.
Johnson & Johnson will face a fifth trial beginning April 10th alleging that its popular talcum powder products, baby powder and Shower-to-Shower, have caused ovarian or uterine cancer in women who used them for feminine hygiene. The first three trials resulted in jury verdicts for the women who brought them in the collective amount of $197 million. The fourth trial concluded with a jury verdict in favor of Johnson & Johnson and Imerys Talc America.
About 300 lawsuits against Johnson & Johnson in connection with its popular talcum powder products (J&J Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower Powder) were consolidated earlier in Los Angeles Superior Court. The first trial on these cases presently is scheduled to begin on July 3rd.
On Friday, the fourth jury to hear a talcum powder cancer case returned a verdict in favor of Johnson & Johnson and Imerys Talc America. The jury split 11–1 on the decision against Nora Daniels of Columbia, Tennessee, who claimed that her ovarian and uterine cancer was caused by 36 years of using Johnson & Johnson baby powder for feminine hygiene. Ms. Daniels' cancer was diagnosed in 2013.
A third St. Louis jury has awarded a California woman $70.1 million in connection with her use of Johnson & Johnson's baby powder to keep her genital area dry. Deborah Giannecchini, age 63 of Modesto, reportedly used the product for 45 years. She now suffers from ovarian cancer, and has an 80 percent chance of dying within two years.
David Steinberg is a consultant and expert with more than 40 years experience in the cosmetic and over-the-counter industries. Among other services, Mr. Steinberg provides advice to cosmetic manufacturers on compliance with government regulations. Steinberg testified last week in the fourth trial against Johnson & Johnson brought by ovarian cancer victims who claim that their cancer was caused by the Company's talcum powder products, Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower Powder.
The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered yesterday that eleven pending federal court cases against Johnson & Johnson involving claims that its talcum-based products (Baby Powder and Shower-to-Shower Body Powder) be consolidated in a single federal court. The Panel determined that the U.S. District Court of New Jersey was the most appropriate Court to preside over the pretrial proceedings in the Johnson & Johnson lawsuits.
A United Kingdom and Australia-based mining company, Rio Tinto Minerals, and its subsidiary, Luzenac America, have been sued along with Johnson & Johnson by four women and the husband of a fifth woman who died. All five women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer between 2011 and 2015. The women all used Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder or Shower-to-Shower Powder as feminine hygiene products.
On Monday, a Los Angeles jury awarded damages of $417 million to Eva Echeverria in connection with her decades-long use of Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder for feminine hygiene purposes.

If you don't know how to install Showbox on Apple TV then, this page will explain to you how to do it step-by-step. Also, this process requires a computer to sideload the Showbox.IPA file to Apple TV.
Remember that, it is impossible to setup Showbox without a computer. If you don't have a computer then I request you get it from your friends or family for a while.
1 Why we need a Computer?
Why we need a Computer?
Showbox isn't available on App Store to install directly on Apple TV. So, we need to install it manually by Cydia impactor.
It is a tool which helps iOS users to IPA files on any IOS-devices including iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. I'm going to use this tool here. Let's see how.
As we all know that without jailbreaking the Apple TV, we can't install any third-party apps. Showbox is one of the other than App store apps.
Note: We use the Showbox iOS version called as MovieBoxPRO.IPA file here. Both Showbox and MovieBox Pro are one and same but different names for different platforms. Don't worry about it.
Go to Cydia Impactor's official website or click here.
Download the latest version of Cydia Impactor for your computer.
Make sure to choose your device and download it to the respective device.
Visit file location where it was saved.
Click to open the file to get started with the install.
Complete the installation part as like any other EXE, DMG or DEB.
Download MovieBoxPRO/Showbox.IPA file from IPA store.
Switch on the Apple TV device.
The first step is to connect the Apple TV 4 to your Mac using the USB-C to USB-A cable mentioned above.
Open the Cydia Impactor on your computer. Now, you can see your Apple TV is connected to it.
Make a sure that your Apple TV should be on the list and connected to Cydia Impactor.
Then, drag a MovieBoxPRO.IPA file to Cydia Impactor.
Go back to your Apple TV and restart it.
You can find it from your home itself.
I tried this method for Apple TV yesterday and it works for me. I struggle to find a MovieBoxPro.IPA file on the web but finally one of my friends shared a link. If you don't find it in the Internet leave comment and I'll share it with you.
I hope all the Apple users loved the article. Please this peace of content with your fiends and family.


At an investors meeting in Berne, organised to approve a company stock sale, Thiam told investors that the move is "an important part of our new strategy", Bloomberg said.
The job of bankers in future will be to support Credit Suisse's expansion in private banking and wealth management, and this will involve a move away from "short term trading activities", Thiam said, according to a Financial Times report on the same meeting.
Investors at the meeting agreed two proposed capital increases totalling approximately 6 billion Swiss francs (£4 billion) to boost the bank's balance sheet and help fund restructuring plans.
Credit Suisse announced a "new strategic direction, structure and organisation" under Thiam in October. The plan involved a focus on Swiss business, an expansion of the bank's wealth management and Asian businesses and moves to "sight-size" its investment bank.
Financial regulation expert Michael Ruck of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind Out-Law.com, said: "The pressure from regulators to ensure the right culture is in place may lead others to move away from traditional profit targets and incentives. Deferral of bonuses and potential clawback are leading many to consider whether higher basic salaries are an appropriate system for remuneration, with smaller incentives or bonuses being available with the latter being based upon different metrics."
"While alternative methods of motivating bankers and other staff may be generated via cultural shifts, career advancement and internal recognition, the interesting question will be whether shareholders support this approach if there is either a dip in profitability or a repeat of previous inappropriate behaviours. Staff retention will also remain a question mark if others continue to offer large incentives based upon profit targets," he said.
"No doubt those at the FCA and PRA will be extremely supportive of a move away from profit targets, but would have one eye on what they are to be replaced with," Ruck said.

How to Draw Mammal Noses
Want to draw mammal noses? Learn to see the similarities of structure across species and then the nuance of the details of the particular species you are drawing. Practice drawing noses from the front, side and three-quarter view. Start with a light ghost drawing to block in the basic shape. Notice that the nostrils make a "dyslexic 66" with the second 6 reversed. Fill up a page with drawing of noses from photographs you find in close-up photographs online. In each example, click the first image to start a step-by-step slideshow.
Dog Family Noses
Block in the basic shape. Note that the top surface of the nose forms a roof over the end of the snout instead of just inserting into the front. The center line is a useful reference line.
Observe the change in the shape of the far nostril. Because it faces away from the viewer, it will appear more eliptical in a 3/4 view.
Cat Family Noses
Cat noses are a sharp T on the front plane of the snout. Look for "wings" on the sides of the nostrils.
The bottom of the nose makes a crisp arrow pointing down toward the mouth. The suture between the two sides of the nostril is right on the center line and may be less clear toward the top of the nose.
Horse Noses
Block in the swelling of the nose area with a ball.
The nostrils will change shape as they flare with each breath. Suggest the ridge of tissue around the nose with a small curved line below and lightly above the nostril. This suggests the edge of the raised area around the nose.
Shade the area around the raised ridge. This helps to show the contour of the nose. Note where a line is used at the edge of the nostril and where the ridge is only suggested with shadow and highlight.
