Agree with the views of rubs. For illustration workers, slight movements are difficult to observe and do not cause major problems. However, for UI designers, a small amount of error can have catastrophic consequences, such as incorrect size of the slices, alignment problems, and so on. As a UI designer who uses Affinity Designer heavily, I have been forced to develop the habit of constantly alerting the size and position of objects, and I am very careful about every mouse click, because the mouse is too sensitive. The problem of slight movements was raised a few years ago, and it did improve in later versions, but as rubs said, it has not been fully resolved. Long-running Affinity Designer will slow down, and the probability of a light-shift problem will increase dramatically.
It's useful when drawing an icon set.
bump. It's been a year and there's been no response. Why you've been ignoring this advice?
How do I relink attributes of symbols?
Randomly, symbol unlink attributes for me automately. To relink them, I have to delete them all and redo everything again. This is absolutely not cool. What I do is avoid using them from the beginning. I believe this is a major bug that can't be fixed in the near future. Since this bug exist since the symbol is born, I eventually believe it is incurable, because it is a part of the symbol. So I think poviding a method which can restore/relink the attributes of symbols will solve the problem without fixing the bug.
is the layout information saved in some folder that I can copy to another computer to reproduce my layout?
Hi Sean P, Thank you for the explanation! I took a moment to figure out how to align the text. The key is to adjust the indentation value. Thanks again.
is it a bug or by design? I use artboards so much that I really want it in artboards.
1.7.0.184 can't check "show grid"
AD has stabilizer for Pencil tool in draw personal. this is great. but in pixel Personal, no stroke smoother for paint brushes. In procreate there is streamline option for every brush which allows users to draw smooth strokes. I think it's a great feature and AD deserves it. following is a video showing the way how it works.
Compared with Affinity Designer's pen tool, what improvements did you find?
@fdelaneau The spec tool provides these information to developers. eg. Zeplin.
As the files in AD are increasing, there is no way to export and delete them in batches. Did I miss something?
I reported this bug in 2016, and tony said the solution: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/31290-ctrlclick-duplicating-objects/ I agreed with the solution. Now that one year has passed, Affinity Designer has updated many versions, and many bugs have been fixed. But unfortunately, this duplication keeps occuring. Here are my experiences about this problem: Normally ctrl+click is fine and does not produce duplication. Buy when The compute runs slowly, the AD file is complicated, the ctrl+click duplication is easy to occur. I noticed that sometimes just clicking on an object in AD caused a slight offset. So the real bug is that in some cases, the mouse will offset slightly when clicking. It's more likely to happen when the computer is slow.

Line notes are imperative to proper documentation. Refer back to the photos, repair procedures and the instructions from your other sources to make sure you have a complete and thorough file of the repairs.
One of the approaches I recommend is creating a charge-out guide for items that aren't in the estimating systems. That helps create consistency for an estimator — and across multiple estimators at a business — as to how things are charged on estimates and invoices.

Islamic Finance and Corporate Governance: A proposed Universal Mode
The purpose of this paper is to systematically synchronise the development of Shari'ah governance in the light of Islamic epistemology. The paper explores governance from the Islamic point of view by referring to various verses from the Holy Qur'an. Also, the paper enumerates the Ps of Islamic governance through shedding light on the teachings of the Holy Qur'an. An in-depth literature review is done to identify the enablers of Shari'ah corporate governance model. Furthermore, interpretative structure modelling (ISM) is applied to propose a Shari'ah governance model for all Islamic countries and countries that follow Islamic banking system. The key variables are identified with the help of MICMAC analysis. The results reveal that there are various conflicting issues that exist among business operations of the Islamic financial industry. One of the issues is lacking uniformity regarding considerations related to Halal/Haram transactions. The paper suggests a suitable model for implementing Shari'ah governance and making it globally acceptable.
The impact of corporate governance on financial performance of Indian and GCC listed firms: An empirical investigation
1.	Al ahdal W. Alsamhi M. Tabash and Farhan
Corporate governance plays a vital role in creating a corporate culture of consciousness, transparency, and openness. In this context, this paper provides a brief view about the background of corporate governance mechanisms in India and Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) countries, corporate legal system and monitoring policies laid down by Indian and GCC governments. Furthermore, it analyzes the impact of corporate governance mechanisms on the financial performance of Indian and GCC listed firms. The study uses a sample that consists of 53 non-financial listed companies from India and 53 non-financial listed companies from GCC countries for the period 2009–2016. Results revealed that board accountability (BA) and audit committee (AC) have an insignificant impact on firms' performance measured by ROE and Tobin's Q. Similarly, transparency and disclosure (TD) have an insignificant negative impact on firms' performance measured by Tobin's Q. Moreover, the country dummy results show that Indian firms are performing better than Gulf countries ones in terms of corporate governance practices and financial performance. The current study is considered as a battery for further research and studies particularly in India & GCC listed firms in the context of corporate governance and financial performance.
The determinants of liquidity of Indian listed commercial banks: A panel data approach
3.	Al-Homaidi E.A. Tabash M.I. Farhan N.H. Almaqtari
The aim objective of this study is to examine the liquidity determinants of Indian listed commercial banks. The study has applied both GMM and pooled, fixed and random effect models to a panel of 37 commercial banks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in India for the period from 2008 to 2017. The banks' liquidity (LQD) was taken as a dependent variable which functioned against both bank-specific and macroeconomic determinants. The results indicated that among the bank‐specific factors, bank size, capital adequacy ratio, deposits ratio, operation efficiency ratio, and return on assets ratio are found to have a significant positive impact on LQD, while assets quality ratio, assets management ratio, return on equity ratio, and net interest margin ratio are found to have a significant negative impact on LQD. With respect to macroeconomic factors, the results indicated that interest rate and exchange rate are found to have a significant effect on LQD. The Reserve Bank of India (SBI) should give benchmarks for the above mentioned ratios to achieve smooth liquidity of commercial banks in India. The study recommended that bankers should consider assets quality in such a way that improves banks' performance. Finally, the current study provides useful insights for bankers, analysts, regulators, investors, and other interested parties on the liquidity of listed commercial banks.
The impact of oil price volatility, gross domestic product, foreign direct investment on islamic banking investments: An empirical evidence of the United Arab Emirates
The current paper examines the impact of oil price (OP) fluctuations on Islamic banking investments growth in the UAE. Besides, OP, the study also uses other variables like Gross Domestic Product and Foreign Direct Investment to identify the determinants of the Islamic banking investments growth in the emerging economy, UAE. The study is based on econometric analysis with the help of annual time series data from 1990 to 2015 for the study variables. Stationary tests, cointegration methods, vector error correction model, and Granger causality tests are used in the analysis. The major findings of the study revealed that OPs have long-term and short-term relationships on the Islamic banking investments in the UAE. Our results explore the importance of OP stabilization in enhancing growth and progress in the UAE economy. The Government of UAE should reform policies and procedures to minimize the effect of such volatility in OPs which in turn leads to positive impacts on the UAE economy as well.
empirical investigation between liLiquidity and key financial ratios of Islamic banks of United Arab Emirates (UAE)
This paper empirically analyzes the impact of liquidity risk on key financial performance aspects of Islamic banks in the UAE. To document the association between liquidity risk and other performance ratios, time series data are taken for full-fledged Islamic banks working in the UAE from 2000 to 2014. Liquidity ratios and capital adequacy ratios, profitability ratios, and tangibility ratios are determined. Correlation and regression analyses are used to test the study hypotheses using SPSS. The findings indicate that capital adequacy and tangibility ratios are the main factors to determine liquidity risk of UAE Islamic banks. Furthermore, the results showed that the size of Islamic banks' assets and capital adequacy had a positive and significant association with liquidity risk. Policymakers and Islamic finance experts should devote more attention to enhancing the base of Islamic finance assets to manage liquidity issues.
The determinants of profitability of Indian commercial banks: A panel data approach
The current study examines the determinants of profitability of Indian commercial banks. The analysis is conducted over a period of 10 years in which the Indian banking sector has gone under different changes such as demonetization and issues related to banking sector sustainability and banking sector frauds. The analysis is based on balanced panel data over a period ranging from 2008 to 2017 for 69 commercial Indian banks. Profitability of Indian banks is measured by two proxies, namely, return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), whereas bank size, assets quality, capital adequacy, liquidity, operating efficiency, deposits, leverage, assets management, and the number of branches are used as bank‐specific factors. Further, a set of macroeconomic determinants such as gross domestic product, inflation rate, interest rate, exchange rate, financial crisis, and demonetization are used as independent variables. Stationary test along with pooled, fixed, random effect models and panel correction standard error are used in this study. The results revealed that bank size, the number of branches, assets management ratio, operational efficiency, and leverage ratio are the most important bank‐specific determinants that affect the profitability of Indian commercial banks as measured by ROA. Furthermore, among the bank‐specific determinants, the results revealed that bank size, assets management ratio, assets quality ratio, and liquidity ratio are found to have a significant positive impact on ROE. With regard to the macroeconomic determinants, the results revealed that the inflation rate, exchange rate, the interest rate, and demonization are found to have a significant impact on ROA. However, in the case of ROE, the results show that all ma
The impact of demonetization on Indian firms' performance: Does company's age make a difference?
The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of demonetization on Indian firm's quarterly financial performance before and after demonetization period (March-December, 2017), and to find out if companies' age helps to face financial disruption. Four variables, which are net sales, total income, net profit after tax, and earnings per share, were taken as proxies for analyzing the quarterly financial performance of 2,892 companies listed on Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), National Stock Exchange (NSE), and Calcutta Stock Exchange (CSE). Nonparametric test, particularly Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed Rank Test and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, were applied in analyzing the data. Results reveal that there is a statistically significant difference between the financial performance before and after demonetization at 5% level of significance. It was also found that the decrease/increase in the financial performance of all the firms was affected by the demonetization process, irrespective of their ages. The findings could be useful for financial managers and financial consultants, as they would be able to focus on the issues that matter most at the time of financial disruption.
Identifying critical success factors for sustainable growth of Indian banking sector using interpretive structural modeling (ISM
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the critical success factors for sustainable growth of the Indian banking sector and develop a model for Indian banks by using interpretive structural modelling (ISM). It suggests some of the critical measures of sustainability for Indian banks. Design/methodology/approach This paper aims to establish a relationship among the factors of sustainable banking through the opinion of experts from the banking sector. ISM approach is applied to bring down the complexity of relationship among factors. ISM ranked the factors as per their ability to facilitate and dependence on other factors and helps to develop a comprehensive, systematic model based on the relationship amongst those factors. After developing the model, second reviews by the experts are conducted for their comments and thus, the final model comes into existence. Findings Legal and environmental compliance is determined as the key factor which is driving the other factors of sustainable banking. It will surely going to pose a challenge for business concerns for initiating various sustainable steps that will be a motivational factor for generating business opportunities and sustainable collaboration. Practical implications The study provides a comprehensive framework of sustainable banking which can be applied to various Indian banks. It helps to develop coherence between conventional and sustainable dimensions of banking. Originality/value The ISM is applied for the first time in case of sustainability in the banking sector to bring about a model for sustainable banking in India.
The role of tribalism as mediator between employee empowerment and organizational commitment in Yemeni Islamic banking sector
5.	Emam A. Jais J. and Tabash M.
This study examined the influence of employee empowerment on organizational commitment, and the level to which Tribalism plays a role in the relationship between the former two variables in the context of Islamic banks in Yemen. Indeed, the rationale for introducing employee empowerment is to increase levels of employee's commitment to ensue positive outcomes. The interrelationships between the variables were analyzed to develop a strategy for increased organizational commitment in the Yemeni Islamic banking sector. This study used a social exchange theory to illustrate the study framework to link the relations between employee empowerment, organizational commitment, and Tribalism. This study relied on quantitative approaches. The study sample comprised of Yemeni Islamic banks' employees. 450 questionnaires were distributed to employees, out of which, 292 were retrieved and deemed usable for analysis, constituting a 65% rate of response. The partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed to analyze data and test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicated that there is a significant relationship between empowerment of the employees and their organizational commitment in Islamic banks in Yemen. More importantly, this study revealed that Tribalism is a significant mediator on the relationship between employee empowerment, and organizational commitment.
Islamic financial investments and economic growth evidence from emerging economy, United Arab Emirates
The paper examines the role of Islamic banking investments in enhancing the emerging economic growth of United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study uses annual time series data to examine the relationship between the variables. Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) framework is utilised for co-integration along with error correction models. The findings indicate that in the long-term Islamic banks' investments have contributed to the economic growth of UAE. It shows that when Islamic investments increase, the economic growth also increases in a positive way. Granger causality test results depict a positive and statistically significant relationship between economic growth and Islamic banks' investments in both the short-run and in the long-run as well. It reveals that the causal relationship between Islamic banks' investments and the economic growth of UAE is a supply-leading direction. The paper concludes that the United Arab Emirates Government should support the growth of Islamic banks since they approve their impacts on the UAE economy.
Financial Performance Comparison of Islamic and conventional banks in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
This paper examines the financial performance of Islamic and commercial banks in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The paper gives an empirical insights and comparisons between the performance of Islamic and conventional banking sectors. The sample of the study consists of 5 fully-fledged Islamic banks and 14 conventional banks working in the UAE under the period 2011-2014. The study uses descriptive analysis, correlation, independent sample t test and multiple regression analysis to assess the performance and to compare between both types of banks. The Return on Assets (ROA) is used as proxy for profitability for both types of banks while bank size (log A), liquidity, capital adequacy, financial risk and operating efficiency as proxies for financial performance for both types of banks. The results showed that there is no significant difference between Islamic banks and conventional banks in terms of profitability (ROA) while there is a significant difference between Islamic and conventional banks in terms of liquidity, operation efficiency, capital adequacy, and financial risk. Further, the results indicated that the Islamic banks have higher operating efficiency, bank size and more liquidity than their counterparts of UAE. However, conventional banks are found to have better capital adequacy ratio than Islamic banks. In terms of financial risk, Islamic banks are found to have higher five times than conventional banks which may reflect challenges in the area of risk management in Islamic banks. Keywords: Financial performance, Islamic banks, Conventional banks, ROA, UAE. JEL Classification: A10, E60, G21
The impact of political instability, macroeconomic and bank-specific factors on the profitability of Islamic banks: An empirical evidence
This study investigates the impact of political instability, macroeconomic and bank-specific factors on the profitability of Islamic banks in the context of Yemen. The study used two common measures of profitability, namely, Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) as dependent variables. Seven key independent (internal and external) variables are also used. There are five fully-fledged Islamic banks (IBs) working in Yemen. The study selected only three out of five IBs due to the availability of data for the period ranging from 2010 to 2014. The descriptive and multiple regression analyses were done. The results of the study indicate that operating efficiency and financial risk have negative and significant relationships with ROA and ROE. The findings also show that capital adequacy has a negative and insignificant relationship with ROA and ROE. Furthermore, the study reveals that assets size (LogA), assets management, liquidity and deposits have a significant and positive impact on banks' profitability. GDP, Inflation rate (IR) and Political instability have positive and significant impact on Yemeni banks' profitability. Based on the best knowledge of the authors, this study is considered one of the first and pioneering studies that determine the factors affecting the profitability of Islamic banks of Yemen. Therefore, the study gives good insights for the policy makers, regulators and interested parties for enhancing the profitability of Islamic banks in Yemen.

A critique of the role of Islamic banking in economic growth and financial stability of gulf cooperation council (GCC) economies
This paper presents insights into the relationships between Islamic banking, economic growth and financial stability in GCC economies. The paper gives a critique on the impact of Islamic banking in the growth and stability of the economies of Gulf region. The critique analysis is given based on some of the previous published work by the authors on the relationships between Islamic banking, financial stability and economic growth in selected countries of Gulf region. The paper primarily is based on the analysis of four countries of GCC where Islamic banking has footprints. The countries are United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The results of two empirical parts are presented through the paper. It explores that the contribution of Islamic banking in each country is according to the advancements of its financial systems and norms. In some countries, the relationship between Islamic banking and economic growth is supply-leading and in others is demand-following. It also shows that Islamic banking is a stable and less volatile during global financial crisis in 2008 in all countries under the study. The results of the critique viewpoints are encouraging the authorities and policy makers in the GCC countries to do further investments and projects using Islamic banking financing modes since they approved its stability under different financial crises and shocks.
Critical challenges affecting Islamic banking growth in India using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP
The banking sector plays a vital role in growth-supporting factor for economic growth in the world's fastest-growing economies like India. Recently, Islamic banking has become an increasingly popular method for alleviating poverty, financial inclusion and economic development around the world. Its importance is highly needed in developing and emerging countries such as India. The main purpose of the paper is to identify and prioritize the critical impeding factors for Islamic banking growth in India. The study is conducted in two stages: the first stage involves investigating the current literature works regarding the challenges facing Islamic banking industry in India, while the second stage is based on identifying and prioritizing these challenges according to its importance in hindering Islamic banking growth by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP is a multi-criterion decision making tool for organizing and analyzing decisions, based on qualitative and quantitative measures. The results show that the regulatory environmental challenge is the most significant factor among other factors in impeding the growth of Islamic banking in India followed by lack of Islamic banking experts and scholars. The third main challenge is lack of awareness for Islamic banking instruments followed by lack of standardization and the last is lack of cooperation and coordination between Islamic banking authorities. This study is considered the first one to address empirically the challenges facing Islamic banking industry in the world and particularly in India.
Do Islamic banks contribute to growth of the economy? Evidence from United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Islamic finance has grown rapidly in the recent years particularly in the Middle East and the world. It receives a great attention of bankers and financial scholars due to its stability during financial shocks and crises. The paper uses empirical analysis to test the role of Islamic banking in enhancing the economic growth of United Arab Emirates (UAE). Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross formation (GF), and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are used as representatives for economic growth, while Islamic banks' investments are used as a representative for Islamic financial sector in the UAE. The study uses time series techniques to test the link between the variables. In the current study, co-integration along with error correction models is utilized. All econometric work is done using Eviews. The findings reveal that the causal relationship between Islamic banks' investments and economic growth of UAE is supply-leading direction. Furthermore, the findings depict that Islamic investments have contributed in increasing investments and in bringing FDI into the country in the long-term. The study also shows that there is two-way association between Islamic banks' investments and FDI. It shows that FDI supports Islamic banking and Islamic banking brings FDI. The paper concludes that authorities of the UAE should devote more attention for this growing banking sector by facilitating regulations for establishing new Islamic banks and then creating a suitable environment for their growth and progress in the UAE.

"Bloggers should be seen as activists and strategic partners. Blogs are so effective because they band together as a community and are able to make news that way. George Allen's 'macaca' incident was picked up by the news because so many bloggers were writing about it. So when you are ready to pitch to blogs, think strategically. You need to target the right audiences. Who is your audience and what blogs target them? Secondly, don't treat bloggers like reporters. Your goals need to be aligned and you should give them a heads up about your issues or campaign – let them know what you are working towards and how they can help. Finally, legitimize blogs. You can do this by helping them build credibility – bring them the hot news and the breaking news first."

Pep Guardiola responds to petition calling for Haaland to be kicked out of Premier League
Ahead of the weekend domestic game, the Manchester City manager was asked by a journalist what he thought about the signatories against his star.

LINDSEY PARNABYAFP
Erling Haaland was a sensation before he moved to the Premier League, but there were still doubters out there. Those individuals have now all disappeared following an utterly stunning opening few weeks at Manchester City.
Yes, Pep Guardiola is at the helm. Yes, it is a highly talented squad that has dominated for much of the last few years. Yes, yes, we know how it was all put together so quickly. But there is no mistaking that the Norwegian is on a different level, already having scored the same number of hat-tricks in the English top flight as Cristiano Ronaldo (3) but in over 200 fewer games!
Pep fine with Haaland joke petition
So, with defenders struggling to contain the striker, and rival fans virtually giving up on winning anything this season (OK, so there's always a few deluded Arsenal fans out there!), a tongue-in-cheek petition was set-up to get Haaland kicked out of the Premier League. It received a couple of million signatures!
"There's even been a petition this week to get him banned from football ... saying it's not fair for everybody else," an accredited journalist put to Guardiola ahead of this weekend's game against Southampton.

"As a joke, it's good," Pep replied simply after getting clarification about the actual question being asked of a professional coach, with a polite smile on his face.
Fortunately there were also some questions to and answers from one of the greatest ever managers in the game that gave us an actual understanding of what to expect from City this weekend. Here's a flavour...
On Southamption game:
"I said so far you always worry about how we will react. There is no time to reflect on how we have done because there is a game every three days. Now we have Southampton. We struggle every season to try to control the game. We are ready tomorrow to do a good game. I expect a brave team so aggressive. So well organised they have a culture I like a lot but we have to maintain this momentum and create a good rhythm. It is an important match for us. We have no time for distractions. There is nothing much we can do, in three games we have to travel again."
On Haaland form:
"It is not about disbelief. It is the fact that he has an incredible instinct. He has an incredible sense as a striker he goes one second before the ball arrives. These types of player, how can a manager teach him it is impossible. He is a natural. He did it Norway, Austria, he smells it. Thank you for choosing us, we are fortunate to have this talent."
On team style:
"I tell the players offensively and defensively what is going to happen. Our attack has to play differently our defence has to play differently. The secret is that we have top players. I see us quite similar to last season. We have a guy up front who can unlock the game. Every few years we are a little bit better. In the Champions League we are in a dream position. We cannot forget that one team has been better than us. Arsenal have been better than us."

One single event can change your whole life. It can happen unexpectedly, and maybe even without causing concern at first. But you never know when your world could be changed completely, or even, end.
This piece (500 word flash fiction) is from a writing warm-up exercise I like to sometimes do. I completely clear my mind of all thought and distraction—then I just start typing: no topic in mind, no direction, no preconceived story ideas, nothing. I literally just start typing the first thing that pops into my head and take it from there.
For me, this is a really beneficial way to get my thought process working in a different manner. I often times have the problem of not being able to initially start, even if it's a story I'm already in the middle of writing. It's not a mental block or lack of ideas, I just can't make myself get into the right mood. This exercise really helps me get over that by switching me into a writing mood without actually having to craft anything of great substance.
I highly recommend you guys try this the next time you feel like you just can't get into your work. Anyway, I gave myself a ten minute deadline to come up with a 500 word flash fiction story. This is the unedited outcome of that. Now, I'm off to write an actual story. As always, keep writing!
Okay, I am going to have to read more of your work. Great!
I'm glad you enjoy. Thanks for reading!

Family Therapy | Atlanta Area Psychological Associates, P.C.
Atlanta Area Psychological Associates, P.C.
Virginia Satir, in her pioneering work Peoplemaking, tried to bring the concepts of family therapy to the masses so that people could understand how families shape (and unintentionally distort) their members' feelings and behavior. Before that, a number of well-known therapists spent many years working with entire families to develop their ideas of how the family system operates and how its functioning can be altered for the better, including Satir, Salvador Minuchin, Paul Watzlawick, Carl Whittaker, and many others.
The core concept of Family Therapy is that the family is more than a conglomerate of different individuals - it is a system composed of interdependent people who are constantly affecting and influencing each other in many ways, both subtle and obvious. When one member of a family is hurting, everyone ends up being hurt since whatever happens to one part of the system happens to the whole system. The challenge for the family, then, is to respond to the hidden pain of one member (expressed through symptoms) by recognizing it as pain and teaming up to alleviate it.
The Family Systems approach to therapy recognizes and utilizes this philosophy. According to this view, symptoms (the problems that bring people into the office) are the result of legitimate attempts to influence or affect others, which somehow go awry. Thus, if more direct and effective ways to influence each other can be taught to (and learned by) the family, the need for symptoms should diminish.
As an example, let's postulate a case in which an eight-year-old child is brought in for Attention-Deficit Disorder and acting-out behavior in school (despite good academic performance). This child, we find upon further investigation, had undergone in the last year a series of losses including the death of a grandparent, a move from one state to another (which includes the loss of neighborhood, house, room, friends, school and teachers), a parent who now has to travel on business most of the time, and the addition to the family of a baby sister (which causes a loss of Mom's time and attention).
Although the school suggested that this child be tested for Attention-Deficit Disorder, since his behavior looked similar to that of ADHD kids, when we saw the number of losses he had experienced it became clear what was really going on - he was angry and sad and had no way to express it. Dad was gone a lot, Mom was preoccupied with baby sister, his friends were far away and it was just too expensive to call them much, grandma was still sad about grandpa's death and he didn't want to make her cry any more than she already did. His symptoms were an expression of his unhappiness, and they certainly had an effect on the other family members.
When he got in trouble at school, Mom was called and she had to stop whatever she was doing with baby sister and come to school to pick him up. He got to go home early and stay close to Mom. While it was true that Mom was mad, at least she was paying attention to him and there was a certain satisfaction in knowing that now she felt as angry as he did. And boy, was Dad mad when the boy got suspended and he had to cut short one of his business trips and come home to give his son a long lecture!
The symptoms - negative behavior, not paying attention - had a purpose and they were serving that purpose quite well. They were keeping him in Mom's attention. They were indirectly expressing his anger at all the things that had happened to him. (You can tell when anger is being expressed to you indirectly: you get angry at someone's behavior which affects you negatively, but they have not started a direct confrontation with you.) And the symptoms were putting the child in control of things, at a time when he felt like he could not control anything. Although it was negative attention, the boy was in control of when and how much of it he got; the rest of the time, he had no control at all over who paid attention to him or spent time with him.
Of course, the solution is to first help the family identify how they are feeling, and then to help them find safe and constructive ways to express their feelings to each other. This is not as easy as it sounds, because most of us have been taught that directly expressing our feelings hurts others' feelings or makes them get angry at us. We often have to retrain the family through exercises in communication, or through moderating the discussion so that it stays safe for everyone to say what they really feel. We also have to teach parents how to talk to a child so that the child will understand and really hear what they are saying.
Another facet of treatment is to help the family respond to the boy's feelings, as well as the boy's behavior problems, in a constructive and supportive way rather than in a punitive manner. Once they understand that his symptoms are a "cry for help" rather than a purposeful or malicious disruption, they can respond with consequences instead of punishment (helping him take responsibility for his behavior without making him feel worse because of it). Mom and Dad will probably be happy to provide him with more of their time and attention on their timetables rather than on his. As he begins to feel heard and responded to, the symptoms should diminish rapidly and he should begin to make friends in his new location.
Family Therapy can help tremendously in creating safer, more satisfying family relationships. If you have questions concerning whether therapy which includes one or more members of your family might be beneficial, ask your therapist.

Report sheds light on NATO's high-tech problems in Kosovo
By Dan Verton
Although NATO nations contributed significantly to the success of the 78-day air war in Kosovo, the significant hi-tech "imbalance" between U.S. forces and its NATO allies could have long-term implications for the effectiveness of the alliance, a Pentagon report concluded.
The Defense Department's final report to Congress on the lessons learned from the war in Kosovo, released on Tuesday, concludes that deficiencies in NATO's command and control, information systems, secure communications and precision attack capabilities were among the "most important" problems and shifted a "disproportionate burden of responsibility for combat operations to the United States."
The report also concluded that "existing data networks were not adequate to support the flow of...data among key nodes of the NATO information grid" — a problem that the report also says was complicated by a lack of systems interoperability and different classification guidelines for information security. Likewise, "the inability to pass high-fidelity digital data was a shortfall in every phase" of the war, the report stated. In fact, "data sometimes could not be transmitted to the required location at all."
Although NATO established a joint data network to handle the flow of information, the report characterizes it as a group of "disparate tactical digital systems with multiple transmission systems and message formats."
To rectify these problems, the Pentagon is throwing its support behind the Defense Capabilities Initiative, a long-term program that seeks to enhance U.S./NATO systems interoperability and logistics planning.
And while several communications technologies saw their first significant use in Kosovo, including World Wide Web-based information sharing, video teleconferencing and large-scale e-mail coordination and tasking, the campaign was hampered by the lack of clear policies and international agreements on a number of key IT issues. According to the report, agreements with NATO nations must be reached in the following areas:
* Allocation of limited bandwidth, although Europe's modern information infrastructure enabled NATO to take advantage of double the amount of bandwidth used during Operation Desert Storm.
* Establishment of network integration training standards
* Management of the electromagnetic spectrum
* Enforcement of coalition agreements on network security
* Improvements on interoperability by focusing on standards, not hardware
* Acceleration of Host Nation Agreements governing the use of extensive networks

Paralysis is the complete loss of muscle function for one or more muscle groups. Paralysis often includes loss of feeling in the affected area.

3 Paralysis in the celebrity world
4 Paralysis in the animal world
Paralysis is most often caused by damage to the nervous system or brain, especially the spinal cord. Partial paralysis can also occur in the REM stage of sleep. Major causes are stroke, trauma, poliomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), botulism, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Poisons that interfere with nerve function, such as curare, can also cause paralysis.
Paralysis may be localized, or generalized, or it may follow a certain pattern. For example, localized paralysis occurs in Bell's palsy where one side of the face may be paralyzed due to inflammation of the facial nerve on that side. Patients with stroke may be weak throughout their body (global paralysis) or have hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body) or other patterns of paralysis depending on the area of damage in the brain. Other patterns of paralysis arise due to different lesions and their sequelae. For example, lower spinal cord damage from a severe back injury may result in paraplegia, while an injury higher up on the spinal cord, such as a neck injury, can cause quadriplegia. Patients with paraplegia or quadriplegia often use equipment such as a wheelchair or standing frame for mobility and to regain some independence.
Most paralyses caused by nervous system damage are constant in nature; however, there are forms of periodic paralysis, including sleep paralysis, which are caused by other factors.
Paralysis in the celebrity world
Famous people with paralysis include the late actor Christopher Reeve; actor Sylvester Stallone; film director Michelangelo Antonioni; singer/songwriter Curtis Mayfield; the architect Michael Graves; Sam Sullivan, mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; actor Jesse Billauer and professional wrestling star Hayabusa. American football player Mike Utley of the Detroit Lions was paralyzed during a 1991 NFL game. American football legend Nick Buoniconti, formerly of the Miami Dolphins, is a staunch supporter of research to cure paralysis. His son, Marc Buoniconti, was paralyzed in a football game at the age of 19. The Buoniconti family funds The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis [1] at the University of Miami. Singer Gloria Estefan was temporarily paralyzed after a traffic accident. After regaining mobility she became a supporter of The Miami Project. Mary Todd Lincoln, the first lady of President Lincoln, had "paralyzed" written on her death certificate.
Paralysis in the animal world
Many species of animals use paralyzing toxins in order to capture prey, evade predation, or both. One famous example is the tetrodotoxin of fish species such as Takifugu rubripes, the famously lethal pufferfish of Japanese fugu. This toxin works by binding to sodium channels in nerve cells, preventing the cells' proper function. A non-lethal dose of this toxin results in temporary paralysis. This toxin is also present in many other species ranging from toads to nemerteans. Another interesting use of paralysis in the natural world is the behavior of some species of wasp. In order to complete the reproductive cycle, the female wasp first paralyzes a prey item such as a grasshopper and then places it into her nest. Eggs are then laid on the paralyzed insect, which is devoured by the larvae after they hatch. Many snakes also exhibit powerful neurotoxins that can cause non-permanent paralysis or death.
Paralysis can be seen in breeds of dogs that are chondrodysplastic. These dogs have short legs, and may also have short muzzles. Their intervertebral disc material can calcify and become more brittle. In such cases, the disc may rupture, with disc material ending up in the spinal canal, or rupturing more laterally to press on spinal nerves. A minor rupture may only result in paresis, but a major rupture can cause enough damage to result in complete paralysis. If no signs of pain can be elicited, surgery should be performed within 24 hours of the incident, to remove the disc material and relieve pressure on the spinal cord. After 24 hours, the chance of recovery declines rapidly, since with continued pressure, the spinal cord tissue deteriorates and dies.
Another type of paralysis is caused by a fibrocartilaginous embolism. This is a microscopic piece of disc material that breaks off and becomes lodged in a spinal artery. Nerves served by the artery will die when deprived of blood. The German Shepherd is especially prone to developing degenerative myelopathy. This is a deterioration of nerves in the spinal cord, starting in the posterior part of the cord. Dogs so affected will become gradually weaker in the hind legs as nerves die off. Eventually their hind legs become useless. They often also exhibit fecal and urinary incontinence. As the disease progresses, the paresis and paralysis gradually move forward. This disease also affects other large breeds of dogs. It is suspected to be an autoimmune problem.
Cats with heart murmurs may develop blood clots which travel through arteries. If the clot is large enough to block one or both femoral arteries, there may be hind leg paralysis because the major source of blood flow to the hind leg is blocked.

Protests by asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru have continued for eight days, with reports authorities locked gates and erected fences to prevent others joining.
In an open letter the protesters have called for an end to their detention, which for some reached 1,000 days on Friday. The Nauruan justice minister has defended his country's system in an address to foreign leaders in Indonesia, suggesting it could be expanded.
The rolling protests began last Sunday, apparently sparked by restrictions on celebrations of the Iranian new year. They coincided with demonstrations across Australia.
The crowd of a few dozen men, women, and children, held signs and chanted "freedom" and "kids in detention, shame on you".
According to refugee advocates, employees of the processing centre erected fences across the road to a camp entrance and locked the gates each afternoon for the duration of each protest. It was believed the action was taken to stop refugees who live in the Nauruan community from joining the protests by those still living in the centre. The refugee advocates provided photos to support their claims.
Broadspectrum, which operates the centre, has been contacted for comment.
The treatment and living conditions of asylum seekers and refugees on Nauru have long been criticised, particularly in relation to children.
The Moss report into the treatment of asylum seekers on Nauru detailed extensive and unaddressed instances of abuse, and more recently several allegations of physical and sexual violence against refugees and asylum seekers, including children, have gone unpunished. After the high court decision in February that the detention of asylum seekers on Nauru was constitutional, advocates, doctors, churches, and state government leaders lobbied the federal government to stop the return of 267 people – including a large number of children – back to Nauru from Australia where they were receiving medical treatment.
Leaked documents continue to paint a bleak picture of the mental health and subsequent care of people in offshore detention.
The Nauruan government, which is approaching a contentious election, due to be held by the middle of the year, has responded by pointing to its improved medical services, including a new hospital and accusing media of being agenda-driven.
In October the Nauruan government announced the gates of the centre would be permanently opened, allowing all detainees – including those still awaiting refugee assessment – to move freely between the camp and the community on the island. The move was just days before the Australian high court heard a challenge to the legality of offshore processing and detention.
Adeang noted Nauru's creation of a refugee determination system – nonexistent prior to the arrangement made with Australia to take people who sought asylum by boat – and the review tribunal process which started hearings this month.
He said people found to be refugees were now living in the community, and many were employed.
"Settlement has changed the face of Nauru. It has been less than two years since the first refugee determination, but we now have a vibrant multicultural community," Adeang said.
The Nauruan government was now working to removal people whose refugee claims had been rejected and who were currently housed in the "open" processing centre, he added. He added that within the centre, there was an "extensive" range of health and welfare services and activities.
Adeang also suggested it could be expanded beyond the Australian arrangement, and used as a "regional solution" for asylum seeker processing and temporary resettlement of refugees.
"Nauru is well-placed to provide surge capacity for large-scale migration flows, as we saw last year in the Andaman Sea," he said, referring to the Rohingya refugee crisis which saw thousands of asylum seekers left adrift after multiple countries refused to allow their boats to dock.
