Film: Django Unchained
Quentin Tarantino misses the point.
Django Unchained is a beguiling film. 'Beguiling' may seem an odd adjective for a Tarantino blood-fest, but despite that director's well-known penchant for violence being well to the fore in this tale of the pre-civil-war southern states of America, the film does charm the viewer. This is chiefly because of the engaging story, which grips from the opening shots, the clever, witty and often laugh-out-loud funny script and, above all, the stand-out performance of the supporting lead, German actor Christoph Waltz.
Only lately come to US films and international stardom (and until now mainly playing villains), Waltz plays a German immigrant doctor travelling as an itinerant dentist (we are never sure of his true qualifications, if any) but in reality operating as a bounty hunter, duly authorised, we are given to understand, by the US courts to capture wanted criminals "dead or alive".
This being a Tarantino film, the Doctor (thus we will call him, as he is called this by all in the film) never bothers even to try to catch them alive. A corpse, duly produced and identified, is sufficient to claim the bounty, and no doubt less bother to transport to show the authorities than a living prisoner, and each 'capture' provides an opportunity for a display of crack shooting.
The Doctor character is handsome and erudite; a funny, charming and convincing con-man (as all con-men have to be, or they would never succeed). He fools everyone until the moment after the killing, when he produces the wanted poster/warrant from his inside coat pocket.
Slavery is the backdrop against which the story of the film plays out. The film is hyped by some critics as a serious exposé of the brutal reality of the slave system in the USA, which existed, and was the basis for much of the wealth of that country, from the late 17th century until the second half of the 19th century. Is that assessment of the film justified? We would have to say that no, it is not.
The film starts with a pair of travelling slave merchants, who are moving Django and a half-dozen other slaves along a remote woodland track in rural Texas. The Doctor, in his character of itinerant dentist in a horse-drawn closed wagon complete with a large model of a molar bouncing on a spring on the wagon's roof, hoves into view.
It appears he has been looking for these particular slavers with the object of buying Django from them. He parries the slavers' curious enquiries and concludes the deal after he has questioned Django to confirm that he knows and could identify three brothers who were the overseers at the last plantation he worked on before being sold away by the owner.
Once the purchase is completed and verified by a signed bill of sale, at the Doctor's insistence, an altercation arises which is resolved, Tarantino-style, by the Doctor shooting and wounding one slaver and killing the other, tossing the remaining slaves the keys to their shackles and a rifle and giving them the choice of taking the injured and helpless surviving slaver back to the nearest town (in the hope that they might get their freedom as a reward), or shooting him and escaping to "a more enlightened part of this country" where they might be free.
The opening scene sets the tone for the rest of the film: comedy, irony, wit, with the doctor usually getting the better of everyone he meets through his quicker wits and greater intelligence, but with every dispute being settled summarily with casual, lethal violence.
Django, played by Jamie Foxx, is needed by the Doctor because the three overseer brothers are wanted 'dead or alive' and are the objects of his latest bounty hunt; the Doctor does not know what they look like, but Django does. The pair find the overseer brothers working under different names at a new slave plantation.
Django turns out to be a naturally accurate marksman with pistol and rifle. Having been given his freedom as his reward for his contribution to the success of the hunt, he agrees to the Doctor's proposal that they work together as a team as bounty hunters in the mountains of the far West for the duration of the winter, with Django taking a third of the rewards earned. The Doctor trains him and Django practises until he is a perfect shot. They spend a 'profitable' winter together.
The story then changes gear and becomes almost a different film. Django has told the Doctor that he and his wife were sold separately (by express order of their owner) after they had tried to run away from the plantation together. He wants to find and free his wife so they can run away together again.
The Doctor has promised to help Django after the winter, although that means going back to Mississippi, where they were sold at slave auction, in order to discover his wife's buyer and present whereabouts. This is a mission and a place that will be very dangerous for Django as an African American ('Nigger' in contemporary parlance), even one now a free man and with papers to prove his new status.
There is a stand-out performance by Leonardo di Caprio as the new owner of Django's wife, 'Monsieur' Candie, owner of one of Mississippi's largest plantations, 'Candieland', and scion of an old, rich slave-owning family. 'Monsieur' Candie (his title of preference) owns a string of slaves kept specifically to fight, bare-knuckled, to the death if required, the slaves of other plantation owners in a 'sport' called 'Mandingo fighting'. It is through this pastime that our heroes make contact with him.
The Doctor is shown to view with distaste the violence of a bout he witnesses with 'Monsieur' Candie, and also the result of the latter's subsequent command to an overseer that the dogs be let loose to kill a Mandingo fighter slave of his caught while running away in order to avoid having to fight further bouts. Django reminds the Doctor that months before he had told Django to shoot a wanted criminal "in cold blood in front of his own son" from a safe and hidden vantage point, afterwards giving the poster to Django as a keepsake ("You never forget your first bounty").
The twists and turns of the plot thereafter we will not reveal. It is enough to say that there is an explosion of violence and killing before Django can ride off into the sunset together with his companion.
Why do we say that this film is not a serious exposé of slavery? Because essentially it just presents the same, dominant (if not sole) message of modern American cinema in another setting: which is that any wrong can be righted by individual, vigilante-type violence.
There is no reference, even in passing, to the economic basis of slavery as a system, or of the economic basis for its eventual abolition; it just seems to be the result of wicked, callous and 'unenlightened' men, with the way out therefore being through 'enlightened' men or individual gunfights.
The organised 'Freedom Railroad' is not mentioned even when the context invites it, as when the doctor suggests the slaves escape from Texas (an awful long way without help from the 'more enlightened' parts of the country he referred to as their possible destination), or when Django recounts the story of his and his wife's failed attempt to run away.
Django refers to his lost love as his 'wife' throughout, though slaves in fact had no right to marry; they might be made or allowed to breed, or used (often) by their owners for sex, but if they formed relationships of their own choice these could be and often were broken at will by their owners, as the slaves were regarded as livestock, like cattle, not fully human.
Django and his wife are shown as rare exceptions to the rule of cowed and obedient slaves. He gives no clue to the feelings of his fellow slaves, even though the brutality of the system is shown.
The 'solution' to slavery is totally misrepresented in Django Unchained, and not by accident. The truth, however, is that slavery became uneconomic partly because of the development of technology (which meant brute strength was no longer the prime requirement for cultivation on the plantation), and partly because of the increasing cost and difficulty of controlling the slaves and putting down their repeated uprisings.
Slavery was (and still is) a class question – in its modern manifestations, it is a feature of imperialist exploitation, which was and will be defeated only by collective action by the oppressed people themselves, who in the current conditions of imperialism can only succeed if led by the revolutionary proletariat.
Slavery in Tibet was only ended when the region was liberated following the success of the Chinese revolution and the founding of the People's Republic of China. Bonded labour in India (slavery by another name) and outright slavery in a number of African countries have not been affected by the 'independence' of those countries from direct colonial rule, since their local leaders still govern on behalf of the imperialists.
So long as surplus value can be extracted from another's labour, there will be every form of exploitation, including slavery, even in the heartlands of imperialism.
See and enjoy the film, but do not be beguiled into buying into its 'solution'.

Impact of changes in financial reporting for small and micro entities accounting standards
The FRC (Financial Reporting Council) promotes high-quality corporate governance and set the standards for accounting, auditing, and actuarial work in the UK. The quality of corporate reporting and auditing are regularly monitored by FRC. Recently, FRC published a number of changes to accounting standards for Small Entities in accordance with the recent changes to the Companies Act 2006.
One of the major changes to the UK legal requirements for accounts was small and micro companies can no longer follow the FRSSE (Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities). New UK GAAP (FRS102) was implemented, and those entities who currently apply the FRSSE have to either follow the requirements of FRS102 or FRS102 Section 1A or FRS105. These Financial Reporting Standards were applicable for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2016. FRS 102 brings well-integrated reporting regime which is based on IFRS but with considerable changes to suit for companies of all sizes in the UK. FRS102 (new UK GAAP) or UK IFRS will soon replace all of the current accounting standards.
Impact on Small and Micro entities
FRS102 will differ from previous UK GAAP depending on the each company's individual circumstances and on the adoption of accounting policies where there are options under the accounting standard. Major differences in accounting which impacted are:
Investment Property: Income statement should also include the movements in the value
Balance Sheet: In specific financial instruments such as investments, derivatives, receivables, , more items are required to be measured at market value. Changes in the market/fair value should also be accounted in the Income Statement.
Forward exchange contracts: Profit or losses on each forward exchange contract should be reflected in the Income statement and contracts need to be valued at year ends.
Business Acquisitions: Intangible assets like customer lists, know-how, brand names, , apart from goodwill should be recognized separately. All business acquisitions or tie-ups should be accounted under the "purchase" method. Merger accounting is only permitted for group reconstructions.
Intangible assets: Intangible assets should be liquefied over their economic life. Usefulness of economic lives of intangibles should be estimated by the directors if not they cannot exceed 5
Employee Holiday Pay: Employee holiday pay amount is now a specific requirement inclusive to the amounts owing at the period end.
Operating lease incentives: Previously operating lease incentives were spread over the period until the first rent review and but now they are spread over the full lease term.
Overall the key changes have impacted the income statement, balance sheet, banking disclosures, profit sharing agreements, etc., in the filing. However, once it comes to iXBRL tagging requirement, HMRC has not released any specific taxonomy for FRS102 Section 1A and FRS105. Eventually, all accounting standards fall under the category of full list tagging as against the minimum list tagging approach used by HMRC during initial days of iXBRL mandate.
About DataTracks: DTracks Limited is a subsidiary of DataTracks Services Limited. DataTracks is a global leader in the preparation of financial statements in XBRL and iXBRL formats for filing with various regulators. With a track record exceeding twelve years, DataTracks prepares more than 12,000 XBRL statements annually for filing with regulators such as HMRC in the United Kingdom, Revenue in Ireland, SEC in the United States, ACRA in Singapore and MCA in India.

Luci Connect (Retail $64.95) is the new smart solar lantern from MPOWERD. They've been making inflatable, solar charged, LED lanterns for a few years now, but this is the first one with a companion app. I've really liked their lights in the past, and this new version is no exception. It does everything I've come to expect from Luci lights, with some cool new added features. Inside the translucent, inflatable body, which gently diffuses and distributes the light, are 36 adjustable LEDs, 24 white, and 12 RGB, which put out up to 250 lumens of light. Luci Connect combines these with its mobile app, allowing you to control them from your phone, and giving you hours of colorful, customizable illumination.
Luci Connect is 5″ tall, and weighs only 9.2 ounces. The matte-finished, PVC body inflates with ease, and collapses down flat when you let the air out, for compact storage or travel. The hard base, which houses the monocrystalline solar panel, has a removeable silicone handle for hanging. It's waterproof and even immersible up to a meter. To start charging your Luci Connect, just set it in direct sunlight, solar panel side facing up. It takes 14 hours of sunlight to fully charge the 7.4 Wh lithium-ion battery. If you don't want to wait, or you're having a cloudy day, it comes with a USB cable so that you can charge it from a wall plug, in 2-3 hours. A full charge can give you up to 24 hours of light, when it's set on the low brightness setting, jumping down to 6 hours on medium, and 2.5 hours on high. The USB port can also output power, so if your phone battery is dying, you can charge it back up from your Luci Connect. This will decrease the number of hours of light it can provide, but sometimes having a charged phone is more important.
You can use the button on the base of the device to manually turn the light on and off, and cycle through the 5 preset colors. If you download the free app, which connects to the device via Bluetooth, you can have even more control from your phone. You can turn the light on and off from the main app screen, control the brightness level, see how many minutes of battery life you have left, choose a color for the lights, or choose a "mood." A mood is a looping sequence of colors for the LEDs to cycle through at a slow, medium, or fast pace. There are a couple preset moods, or you can program a few more of your own, each with up to 6 colors in your pattern. When you choose a color, you can pick from a palette of preset hues, or mix up some custom colors by simply moving your finger around an infinite color wheel. This allows you to truly make the Luci Connect experience your own. You can also set a timer for the light to turn itself off, or make a full schedule for turning on and off at specific times of the day, and on particular days of the week. If you have more than one Luci Connect, the app let's you control them all from the same interface.
Luci Connect is perfect for camping, evening tailgating, or any other time when you don't have ready access to the power grid. Personally, I've found this, and all of my previous Luci models, ideal for when my power goes out unexpectedly, or a bulb burns out in one room and I don't have a replacement on hand. For those of us who live in natural disaster-prone areas, this would be a great addition to our earthquake/hurricane/tornado emergency bags, ensuring we will have light and power when we might need it most. Check out the Luci Connect page on MPOWERD's site, then take a peak at the app, for iOS or Android.

One of the more frustrating things about the internet, is that sometimes there is too much information. But you can't find the answer to your question, being led in about a billion directions at once. What you were looking for could right under you nose… But you would have no idea. Even if you are able to find a fragment of some kind of information, you may not be able to decipher it.
Researching the music of Vietnam on the web is a good example of this. There is almost no information in the way of biographies or articles from that time period (1963 – 1975). But then you can find literally hundreds of videos on YouTube and DailyMotion. And it doesn't help that you almost have to already know Vietnamese to be able to use the online translation program.
But since the last posting on Hūng Cuōng, some information has turned up. Apparently, he is alive and well living in "Little Saigon" (not sure if that is the Orange County "Little Saigon" or the San Jose "Little Saigon"), California in the United States. His granddaughter and grandson have also started a MySpace page for him. He still performs live, occasionally with Mai Lệ Huyȇn̅ . They even have re-recorded this song, and made a video for it.
Other than that, all I have be able to find are some great songs by both Hūng Cuōng and Mai Lệ Huyȇn̅, played over footage of the South Vietnamese Military here and here.
Thanks to Greg McWhorter for the information.

Phương Tām was from Vietnam.
When I first started tracking down records for what eventually became this site, I was under the impression that Vietnamese vinyl from the 60s and 70s would be the hardest to find. But, I have since been proven wrong. That's not to say that they are easy to find… But considering the number of compilations of amazing of Thai and Cambodian rock and roll that are readily available… Why not Vietnam?

Elvis Phương was from Vietnam.
Elvis learned to sing by listening to the records or tapes of foreign singers. When he was 17 or 18 years old, against his father wishes, Elvis Phương chose to stay in Vietnam to pursue a career in singing instead of going to France for an education. Elvis Phương, whose real name is Pham Ngoc Phương selected his stage name after his idol, Elvis Presley.
His first appearance in front of an audience was in 1962 at Regina Pacis high school's open house where he sang Nua Dem Ngoai Pho and O' Cangaceiro. The first band that he worked with was the Rockin' Stars, a popular band during the early 60s. In subsequent years, he also collaborated with other famous bands such as Les Vampires and Phương Hoàng. In 1968, Mr. Ngoc Chanh of Shotguns Productions produced Elvis Phương's first album titled Shotguns 26: Tieng Hat Elvis Phương. In 1977, Elvis Phương's musical journey took him by storm with the first album produced overseas titled Hat Cho Nguoi Vuot Bien. Since then, Elvis Phương has recorded many tapes and / or CDs and appeared in many videos.
He currently lives in Cerritos, California, where he runs EP Productions. He also has a website (that is under construction). And, apparently he is an Aquarius (his birthday on February 1st), his favorite color is black & white and his lucky number is thirteen.
There is a separate catalog number for each song on this record… The catalog number for this song is GP • 1287 31 3 7 on Dưâm Records of Vietnam. No release date given.
Hūng Cuōng was from Vietnam.
Unfortunately, this record has seen better days. The cover needed a bit of Photoshop work, but the vinyl… Sound Soap can only do so much.
Catalog number M.3611.12 on Việt Nam Records. No other information is available.
These songs fall a bit more into the Easy Listening or Lounge category, but the use of reverb on both tracks is quite interesting. Also this record came out in 1966, which was one year after the U.S. troops arrived in Vietnam.
Catalog number S.N.1009 / 2177 on Sōng Hnac of Vietnam.

This one was an urban fantasy retelling of the story of Tiresias, the man who lived forever in the form of a cicada. It's a good story for hot summers and hedonism, so amethyst made a certain amount of sense.
Every time I sell a work of fiction, I buy a crystal skull. This is the one that started it.
I'd started sending out flash fiction and poetry, nervously. I'd promised myself that I'd buy something nice the first time I sold something.

Q: How to remove new line added by readarray when using a delimiter? VAR=a,b,c,d
# VAR=$(echo $VAR|tr -d '\n')
echo "[$VAR]"
readarray -td, ARR<<< "$VAR"
declare -p ARR

Result:
[a,b,c,d]
declare -a ARR=([0]="a" [1]="b" [2]="c" [3]=$'d\n')

How can I tell readarray not to add the final newline \n? What is the meaning of the latest $ symbol?

A: You could use split+glob (what happens when you leave an expansion unquoted in list contexts). It gets in our way most of the time, it would be a shame not to use it when we actually need it:
IFS=,
set -o noglob

ARR=($VAR) # split+glob with glob disabled, and split using , as delimiter

That's a bit less convoluted than writing a temp file and then call readarray on it like in the readarray <<< "$string" approach (also note that readarray -d needs a very recent version of bash).
Note that despite the S in IFS (which stands for separator), that works the same way as readarray in that a,,b, is split into "a", "" and "b" only.
For a real splitting operator, you could use zsh instead:
ARR=("${(@s:,:)VAR}")

(the @ and double quotes to preserve the empty elements).

A: A canned version of @StéphaneChazelas' answer:
# usage: setarray varname sep string
setarray(){ declare -n a=$1; local IFS=$2 -; set -f; a=($3); }

$ setarray arr , 1,2,3,
$ declare -p arr
declare -a arr=([0]="1" [1]="2" [2]="3")

$ setarray path : "$PATH"
$ setarray ld_preload ': ' "$LD_PRELOAD" # its elements can be separated by either ':' or spaces
...

The local - will make options like set -f (noglob) local to the function, just as variables.
The declare -n a=$1 will create a local variable a as an alias to the global variable named by $1 (the first argument to the function).

A: The implicit trailing new-line character is not added by the readarray builtin, but by the here-string (<<<) of bash, see Why does a bash here-string add a trailing newline char?. You can get rid of that by printing the string without the new-line using printf and read it over a process-substitution technique < <()
readarray -td, ARR < <(printf '%s' "$VAR")
declare -p ARR

would properly generate now
declare -a ARR=([0]="a" [1]="b" [2]="c" [3]="d")

First, get rid of debt. Make sure that you eliminate all the debt you possibly can, as this will improve your debt to income ratio. This is very important for credit repair, but make sure not to close your financing. For instance, if you have just paid off one of your credit cards, then make sure to keep it open, because you will have more financing available to you then if you were to close it. If you close it, you eliminate all that available credit, which will make it less likely you can pay off any new financing you take out. A credit expert can help you with all these matters.
Another important credit repair tip is to make your payments on time. One of the most damaging things to your credit is failing to be prompt with your payments. Also, get rid of unnecessary expenses. One of the things that prevents people from effective credit repair is spending money on things they do not need. Therefore, if you are serious about credit repair, make sure you look over your monthly balance sheet, and eliminate anything that is not adding value to your life.
Pay with cash, because credit cards are not conducive to credit repair. This is because it is so easy to fall back on them when you really do not have the money for something. Paying with cash forces you to only spend money when you have it available, which is very important for credit repair. Next, check your credit report, and if you find any mistakes on it, get them fixed. You might want to do this every four to twelve months, as this is very effective for credit repair.
Get credit counseling, because this will make your payments easier to manage-very important for credit repair. A credit counseling company will pay your creditors for you, and all you have to do is pay them a small fee. While it will probably not get you any better terms, it will make it easier to manage your money and eventually you will be able to get a cheap loan. This way, all you have to do is pay one company, as opposed to multiple, which will really speed up your credit repair efforts. Conclusion-credit repair in the UK is really not that hard, and if you just implement these tips alone, your score will go up shortly.


Zennor in Darkness was Dunmore's debut novel. It is set in the Cornish town of Zennor, north of Penzance.
It is an imagining of DH Lawrence and his wife's time in the town while in hiding during the First World War. With the unfolding drama of 1917 with U-boats sinking ships and the paper full of propaganda about spies, DH Lawrence and his wife Frieda's arrival is treated with suspicion. They befriend a local artist, who struggles to try and comfort her shell shocked cousin. With its depictions of Cornwall's brooding wartime wilderness and intimate view of the county's farming community what is shown is that Zennor proves that it is neither a place of restoration nor escape.

"My son with AS does not do well with guests (and rarely seen family members) showing up at our house on Thanksgiving. Any helpful suggestions regarding how to make things run more smoothly this year?"
Many parents of children with Aspergers and High-Functioning Autism experience difficulties, both with handling the sensory overload that comes with Thanksgiving events, and with understanding the deeper meanings of this special day.
The challenges of kids with Aspergers - and the behaviors that result - can be mysterious for those who have had little experience with them (e.g., other family members). Most of these behaviors arise from differences in the ways that these kids experience, understand and interact with the world.
Most Aspergers children find it hard to understand the social and emotional meanings of language and nonverbal behavior (e.g., words about emotions or facial expressions, tones of voice that convey emotions, etc.). They also have a harder time understanding their own feelings, and those of others.
Many kids with Aspergers are easily overwhelmed by sights, sounds and touch – and even by smells and tastes. As a method of protection, these kids may shut-out sensory information by withdrawing or absorbing themselves in repetitive behaviors or idiosyncratic interests, which can interfere with learning about their surroundings and connecting with the family members who care most about them. It can be painful for parents when their Aspergers child "disconnects," which motivates many of them to move mountains to help their child learn to engage in relationships with them and others.
Adjusting to changes in routine or to new events and experiences is often a much bigger challenge for kids with Aspergers. Lights and music and special decorations that may be magical for other kids may lead kids with Aspergers to panic, scream and run out of the room, or fall on the floor and thrash about. As with other transitions, limiting changes in routine and new sensations, and introducing them very gradually whenever possible, can help these kids begin to open up to them.
The "Aspie's" behavior is "predictably unpredictable" during transitions. Over time, moms and dads learn what to expect. They learn how to prevent or shorten the frequency of meltdowns by preparing their youngster in advance, even rehearsing small bits of the new activities. Providing protection against too much stimulation and being sure that their Aspergers son or daughter has access to favored toys and activities can also often help them to relax.
Still, moms and dads are bound to be on guard at times of heightened excitement. They know they may need to drop everything to try to help their youngster pull himself together again. Brothers and sisters of the child are often on guard, too – and may even be frightened. Often, siblings feel responsible and wish that they could make everything all better. Or they may feel guilty about their desire to have a "normal" family.
Moms and dads may feel all alone and without support as they raise a youngster with Aspergers. These feelings are bound to be intensified during Thanksgiving, when the challenges are often even greater and their youngster's differences seem to stand out more. Having relatives and friends who don't judge – and who really care and are eager to help – can make a big difference. Yet, it may be hard for those who have not had direct contact with the Aspie to imagine what it's like for parents and siblings when communication, social interaction and sensory processing are disrupted.
1. As much as possible, attempt to stick to your Aspergers youngster's normal home routine on Thanksgiving Day (even though you may be entertaining guests later that day). As you get closer to the hour when guests will be arriving, make sure to prepare your youngster in advance for what is to come.
2. Aspergers kids need structure and routine. When Thanksgiving disrupts the usual schedule, the youngster can become anxious, depressed, and agitated. Minor incidents can turn into violent and explosive displays of anger. Visiting family members can make Thanksgiving easier by understanding the youngster's disorder and by doing whatever is necessary to support the mother and father.
3. Be sure to allow your Aspergers child to have access to his special interests throughout the day (e.g., favorite toy, personal DVD player, iPod, etc.) to make him more comfortable. Also, if he displays "stimming" behaviors (i.e., repetitive behaviors like opening and closing a door, snapping his fingers, rocking back and forth, etc.), explain to your guests why it's important to allow the youngster to continue the activity. These activities may bring comfort to kids with Aspergers, and help them cope with the changes around them. If others are uncomfortable with your child's behavior, they can excuse themselves discreetly from the room if necessary, but don't try to force the child to stop the behavior (unless it is overly-disruptive or rude).
4. Be sure to watch your child's intake of sweets, sugar and caffeine during Thanksgiving Day, which can trigger anxious feelings and resultant meltdowns.
5. Changes to a daily routine, good or bad, can trigger a meltdown that is way out of proportion to the cause. Even a small and seemingly insignificant incident can result in a meltdown. The youngster may not respond well to decorating the home and having extended family over for Thanksgiving dinner. Thus, moms and dads should consider keeping Thanksgiving celebrations as low-key as possible.
6. Focus on a few things that you know are important to make sure you have prepared around this time. Of course, some things may need modification so that it is possible to enjoy them with your Aspergers youngster (e.g., if there is a danger of him hurting himself on fragile decorations, put them higher up and out of reach; some special foods may not be served; the child may need frequent time-outs from visiting family in order to de-stress).
7. Food can cause upsets and meltdowns from some Aspergers youngsters. If there is nothing served that your Aspie enjoys, it can be upsetting and frustrating. Make sure to consider his diet and appetite during Thanksgiving, and don't force him to indulge in typical Thanksgiving menus when he may not want to try new foods. This is not the time to force the youngster to eat new foods.
8. If you are stressed, your Aspie will sense it. So stay calm and relax as much as possible so that you can enjoy yourself – and decrease your youngster's anxiety.
9. In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, use role-play and rehearsal to let your youngster practice and learn how to deal with the upcoming social situations.
10. Lower your expectations of what you can really do. In this way, what you do will be less stressful and make Thanksgiving special.
11. Make the demands on yourself realistic, and don't try to do so much that you feel only frustration. Make realistic lists and work on things one at a time. Looking at Thanksgiving Day is less overwhelming if you take it in small pieces.
12. Many Aspergers kids are sensitive to certain smells. If this is the case with your child, and you are visiting in another family member's home, let them know ahead of time. Unscented products are usually preferable. Aspergers kids may react negatively to candles and other smells. Be aware of what triggers problems for your Aspie, and try to avoid them rather than handle them after an incident occurs.
13. Noise is a major problem for some Aspergers kids. Minimize noise and allow your child to wear earplugs or use his iPod during large family gatherings if necessary. Keep music low, and avoid over-crowded rooms of people talking. Find a peaceful place for your child to go when the crowd grows and noise is high (e.g., a quiet bedroom, sunroom, dad's office, etc.). A short rest with a snuggly blanket and quiet time can work wonders.
14. Take pictures of the family gathering and work with your youngster to make a book of pictures that can help him remember the things that you did. This can be used to prepare him for next year's Thanksgiving celebration.
15. Watch for signs of over-stimulation before they escalate.
Really spot on advice. Holidays, large groups & any new stress is really tough for my son (& then for his sister who gets upset when he has a meltdown). Easy enough for us to understand the suggestions but how do you help extended family to understand that you're only trying to do the best you can for your child & not trying to make dinners & get togethers difficult. I've tried in the past to bring it up but it hasn't gone over well & has caused more of an issue. It can feel so isolating at those times. Lack of understanding makes an already tough time of year for him into a really hard time.

The Iron will look to make it four games unbeaten when they host Notts County in Sky Bet League One on Saturday.
Shaun Derry's Magpies arrive in Lincolnshire - to play us the second time this month - in fifth place and unbeaten in their last eight league outings.
But Mark Robins' men have collected five points from the last possible nine and confidence is building under the new manager, after coming from behind to draw at Port Vale, with ten men, on Tuesday evening.
Robins will welcome Gary McSheffrey back into the fold, after the midfielder sat out the Vale match with suspension, as he had accumulated five bookings this term. Terry Hawkridge played in his absence and the former Sky Blues man faces a battle to regain his place.
Neal Bishop, who opened the scoring at Vale Park, will miss the Glanford Park clash for picking his fifth yellow card up on Tuesday, while Jennison Myrie-Williams is also an absentee after he was sent off for a second booking against his former employers.
Rory Fallon was set to undergo a knee scan this week after missing the Vale match with injury and he is a doubt. It was sustained in a challenge in the draw with Colchester last Saturday.
County return to North Lincolnshire less than three weeks after their last visit.
They last travelled up to compete for a place in the third round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, edging the clash 2-1 in what turned out to be Russ Wilcox's last game in charge of the Iron.
In midweek they beat Barnsley 3-2, with QPR loanee Michael Petrasso netting twice for Notts.
Shaun Derry is turning the club's fortunes around in his first managerial post, steering them clear of relegation last season by just three points. The former midfielder has over 600 professional career appearances under his belt, including nine for his current club.
In this season's squad, there are just two former Irons within their ranks.
Jimmy Spencer, who was on loan at Glanford Park from Huddersfield Town last season, signed for the club permanently in January but he is currently out for the campaign with a cruciate ligament injury sustained in pre-season.
Garry Thompson is another former United player. He made 130 appearances for the Claret and Blue during a four-year spell from 2008 to 2012.
They also have Champions League experience within their ranks - vice-captain Alan Smith (Leeds United and Manchester United) and goalkeeper Roy Carroll (Manchester United) are key players for County this season and their experience will be crucial and be a key asset.
It will be our 25th meeting with the Magpies, who have won 17 of those, with three draws and four Scunthorpe wins.
Before we met last month, the previous meeting was in the 2012/13 campaign.
Dean Leacock's late goal gave them a 1-0 win months after we held them to a 2-2 draw at Glanford Park, where Christian Ribeiro and Damien Mozika were scorers in a game where Paul Reid saw red.
We also met them in the JP Trophy in that season, for round one, and Mark Duffy's early goal was cancelled out as they won 2-1 at the Iron's ground.
Our last win against the club came in September 2008, when Paul Hayes was on target twice in stoppage time to give us a home win in another FL Trophy tie between the two clubs.

abstract	 Homogeneous, translucent and flexible films of chitosan (CH) and ellagic acid (EA) were prepared by solvent casting. Various concentrations of EA (0.5, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0% w/w relative to CH) were used in order to evaluate their UV-blocking properties. In addition, the photochemical stability of the films was also studied via artificial solar light irradiation. These set of films display high mechanical properties (Young's modulus = 3.21e3.57 GPa), thermal stability up to 215e220 degrees C, UVA-and UVB-barrier properties, moderate water vapor permeability (WVP = 2.82e3.70 g mm m(-2) day(-1) kPa(-1)) and maximum antioxidant activity around 28% (DPPH scavenging activity). Furthermore, all CH/EA films show antimicrobial activity against food-borne pathogens such as Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria due to the CH antimicrobial effectiveness. These bioactive UV-blocking CH/EA films open the way to materials with potential for eco-friendly active packaging. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

You don't need a dish because the have their own antenna designed to get their own signal but it depends on your location.
See the contacts details for Metro Digital Nigeria.
how can I get the decoder and how many mitter of dish will work on it ?
Have you had about the latest TV station providers called Metro Digital tv cable provider that now challenges DSTV by provide exclusive Entertainment, Sports and News channels for lesser price compared to MULTI CHOICE (DSTV).

Do Probiotics Affect My Gut?
Karl Heilbron wanted to learn about his gut microbiome, so he took a few tests using uBiome. After taking a series of tests, he changed his diet and introduced probiotics, that ended up having an opposite effect in his gut, contradicting their purpose. In this talk, he shares his story and interesting discoveries.
I work for 23andme, studying Parkinson's disease but today I'm going to talk to you about a side project of mine, which has been playing around with my gut microbiome. I have three data points to share with you today and I guess I should first start with the caveat that you know there's lots of sources of variation when you measure your gut microbiome. There's experimental error. There's variation from day-to-day, from week-to-week.
But the way I kind of want to paint this picture for you, so the three measurements I took were firstly, right at the end of my Ph.D. after living in England for four years and then about a year and a half later, having lived in California for a year, so the first kind of two bits of data I want to show you I like to think of that as England versus California.
And then the last data point that I have was two weeks after my California data point, I took a probiotics for two weeks and then measured my gut microbiome again to see if there is any noticeable change. So I'll walk you through what I found.
So perhaps I should mention I did my Ph.D. in bacteriology at the University of Oxford, but you know it was based on antibiotic resistance evolution. I wasn't particularly focused on microbial communities. So nevertheless, when I got chance to do my ubiome and see what was actually living inside me, I was pretty excited. And you know, being a pretty competitive person by nature I kind of wanted to have the best microbiome right.
This is what I found. So I threw these slides together just on the train, but you're probably not got going to read the text, but I'll read it out to you.
Basically, ubiome tells you that the average kind of like healthy sample has about a two to one ratio of fimicutes to bacteroidetes. This is two different phyla bacteria, and my ration is closer to ten to one instead of two to one. So you can see there's a preponderance of orange in this figure. And so that's quite off the charts, and this has been associated with things like obesity and weight gain and stuff like that. So needless to say I was off to a bad start, but I figured you know it couldn't get any worse.
So then I looked at the different levels of the probiotic bacteria that resides in my gut, and it turns out I have none. So now you might start to understand why my interest in was doing this probiotic challenge for the second and third data points.
Finally, perhaps the one that I kind of found most interesting was that when I looked at the overall diversity of my gut microbiome, it's in the bottom sixth percentile of all ubiome customers, so needless to say I had something to work towards now, despite having kind of I should say no overt symptoms or problems or anything like that. So, I just found something else to worry about basically.
Anyway, so a year and a half goes by and I moved to California. I spent a year here kind of instead of eating potatoes and Shepherd's pie, eating wholefoods kind of kale and broccoli and I was hoping to see great things here.
So low and behold, I get my samples back and I'll do a side by side comparison here, you can see my ration to firmicutes to bacteroidetes went from ten to one, down to about four to one. So you know I considered this a win.
Then, consider my probiotic bacteria, I still had no active bacillus, but my level of Bifidobacterium went up so you know, consider that a half win.
And then lastly, I looked at my overall microbiome diversity and went from the sixth percentile to to the twenty-second percentile. So still by no means what one might call good but you know perhaps much better than I was doing before, so this is quite exciting.
So like I said, immediately after I took that second sample, I took probiotics every day for two weeks thereafter. And I'll quickly run through the comparison between the Californian no probiotics and the California two weeks of probiotics results here.
So my ration of firmicutes to bacteroidetes went from about four to one to about three to one, so still getting better. Bizarrely, essentially the idea was to take probiotics, but I found that I still didn't have any active bacillus. And it appears that my level of Bifidobacterium actually decreased over the course that I was taking probiotics, so you can read into that what you will.
And lastly, I found that my overall diversity went from the twenty-second percentile to the thirtieth percentile. So I'm not entirely sure what I've learnt from this. I'm feeling somewhat skeptical about probiotics at the moment as you would might imagine as somebody in my shoes. And the kind of things that I'm interested at looking at in the future are I've lined up my next QS experiment. It's going to be doing kind of two kits, two days apart to kind of get a sense of the variation in my baseline and how much I fluctuate. I don't eat a lot of fiber, so I think that'll be my next goal is to focus on prebiotics and see whether or not that might lead to any interesting change in my overall gut microbiome.

In 2008, I accidentally started a business that spanned a decade.
I want to tell you the story of this business and how being a fan-girl of a pop-punk band enabled my first ever side project.
I was a design student in Wellington discovering the true joy of the internet: connecting with strangers over mutual interests that none of the people in your real life seem to share.
Fall Out Boy were releasing a new album, and they were dropping clues about the release date and the title all over the internet. I was keeping up with it all through a Tumblr blog someone had started to repost all of the clues. I spent hours every day trying to decipher the puzzles with my newly discovered internet friends and made a Tumblr blog myself to post my thoughts.
Eventually, the mystery was figured out. The album was released. But the community aspect of my little corner of Tumblr stuck around. I'd built a small following of people who loved music as much as me, and I found some confidence to share a lyric design I'd made and printed on a T-shirt.
I can't remember who said it first, but in 2009 I started getting comments like that. And it made me dare to dream. Could I print and sell t-shirts? Is that something I'd be able to do?
At that time in New Zealand, as a music fan it was incredibly difficult to get your hands on band merch. And even if you could afford the stupidly-high shipping rates from the US, merch designs were kind of crappy anyway. Thankfully now we have people like my friend Brent Galloway designing amazing merch for bands, but back then it felt like the bands I liked weren't offering the kind of designs I'd want to wear.
Of course, there are many reasons why. Using lyrics in designs is a legal grey-area for one... but I didn't really think about that. I wanted to wear shirts that professed my love for bands, and I knew other people did too. Let's make it happen.
I had a way to print shirts. I had designs. I had a (pretty crappy) brand logo and some hilariously emo promo imagery. And I had people who wanted to wear my designs.
I made sales through Tumblr. No ecommerce store. No email list. Just posts like these informing incredibly trusting strangers about how to send me money for products that didn't even exist yet.
I wish I'd kept better records to tell you exactly how many orders happened that way, but I remember printing over 40 shirts in that first run. In the deal Phil and I worked out, I would bring the designs to him on a USB stick and he'd cut them out on his vinyl plotter. I'd then take the sheets of vinyl home to weed out (a monotonous task that involves getting rid of all the pieces surrounding the design) and bring them back to him to heat press onto t-shirts.
The orders were completed and sent (along with a special extra of the logo on a pin badge) and I started getting pictures from people all over the world wearing my designs.
That's when it felt real to me. That's when I felt like I'd found my place in the world. I may not have had many friends at university but now I had people in the US, Australia, England and the Philippines wearing T-shirt's I'd designed. I loved it, and I wanted to do more.
Because, as I may have mentioned already, I liked Fall Out Boy a little bit, my main inspiration for my budding clothing brand was Clandestine, a line started by the bands' bassist Pete Wentz. They'd release collections with different themes and that's what I wanted to do too.
I tried extra hard with the designs for this collection. Unlike the "design lots of lyrics and surely there will be one people like" approach I took the first time, my designs for this collection involved much more effort. All the graphics had once been a stencil I'd cut and spraypainted, then autotraced to get the texture.
Copying what we'd seen from Clandestine, we did a launch with a countdown and a treasure hunt and then the designs were up for sale.
Like last time, that meant people could email me with their order and send the money via PayPal. Not being based on lyrics, I worried this collection wouldn't sell as well. But when it did, it was the biggest confidence boost I'd ever had. People were buying these designs because they liked Shazz's words and my designs. Not because it was a cheaper, easier way to get band merch. LEK was a real brand.
Wanting to step even further away from my start selling lyric designs, I decided I shouldn't use a song name for my brand name either... Eventually I settled on Liner Note Kids – LNK. A small shift, one letter change, but it was something more my own.
In the post announcing this name change to my followers I talked about how nobody knew what Lake Effect Kid meant and that's why Liner Note Kids was better. Little did I know I'd spend the next 8 years explaining that name to everybody too, and the majority would assume it was a kids clothing line (fair enough). So, just to explain it one last time... liner notes are the sleeves inside records where a band writes their thank yous. My brand was about the people who knew the band was talking about them when they said "thank you to our diehard fans".
I wanted to try push harder on the theme idea for my next collection in 2010 and designed a school themed line. School for the Desperate and Devoted tried to capture all my emo kid love for music. And even included 'school leavers hoodies' where I'd print peoples usernames on the back.
Once more it was pretty popular (by that I mean I probably sold about 50 items).
Once more I couldn't believe that these ideas I had connected with other people so well.
In 2010 after wearing my own designs for a few years now I realised that vinyl printing doesn't last very long. I wanted to offer better quality products so I set about researching what the pros do. I learned about screen printing and learned that it was scarily expensive. Local printers I contacted would do a minimum of 100 orders, but with my little brand I couldn't guarantee that number of sales, and Ididn't want to invest.
So, I learned how to do it myself.
I taught myself to screen print reading online tutorials. I ordered emulsion and inks from an Asian wholesale site (since Amazon wasn't a thing in New Zealand). My dad helped me nail together frames and staple curtain fabric onto them, and my mum let me clear out the hallway cupboard to set the frames in a dark place for the emulsion to dry. They encouraged me to try again when I burst into tears after first attempts didn't work out, and eventually I cracked it.
I printed a couple of designs based on pieces from Shazz's writing again and I was so excited about the quality. They felt professional, and I was proud.
Still no ecommerce store at this stage, I sold a few of these designs through Tumblr and Phil, bless him, ordered the blank T-shirt's for me through his wholesale account even though I was now doing the printing myself.
After figuring out screen-printing, the t-shirt business took a backseat for a while as I focussed on my design degree. But in 2011, in my last year of university (probably while procrastinating from my Honours project) I finally launched an ecommerce store.
Aside from screen-printing materials I hadn't invested any of my own money into the business yet and I wanted to keep it that way. The store platform I picked, Store Envy, was chosen because it let me list as many items and variants as I liked without paying for a Pro account.
I designed some new shirts (back to lyric designs again for some reason) and called the collection LNK 2.0. It was a new and improved version of my brand: proper webstore, proper printing, even proper product photos.
The next collection, titled Crowds & Connections, followed a year later. It had one lyric design (I couldn't resist) but the rest I pulled from music-adjacent things like quotes from singers, and the antlers were a reference to the main character in a Fall Out Boy music video.
For one design in this collection I wanted to use a quote from a LiveJournal post by Christopher Gutierrez; an author and friend of Fall Out Boy. I reached out to him to ask for permission and we struck a deal that he'd let me use his words on my t-shirt and I'd let him use the design to sell posters. He reached out to me again a couple months later to get me to design a layout for another quote to sell. This was the first time my side business had directly led to freelance work, and it made me wonder if it could be my path to designing real merch for bands one day.
Perhaps it was because my original Tumblr audience had moved on to other places on the internet (the website certainly had changed a lot by 2012), or perhaps it was because I was giving more focus to my YouTube audience, but my screen-printed collections just didn't have the same hype around them that the earlier releases did.
I spent 2013 trying to make more sales. I created a promotion where I gave kids a discount code to share, and if people bought using their code they'd get free shirts. I even designed and printed flyers for them to hand out. But it didn't help much.
I've often wondered, if I had bothered to learn more about business and email marketing and how to do it well would I have ended up in a different place? As it was, I was just copying tactics I'd seen other clothing brands use and going with my gut. It had served me well up until this point, but now it appeared I was a little out of my depth.
Instead of stopping to learn more about business, I went back to doing the part I was best at: designing t-shirts.
In 2014 I was planning on moving to London, and I knew that once I was there I'd find it really hard to create a new collection without my dad to make frames for me and the space that my Wellington flat allowed. So I set about designing one more line.
I didn't know at the time that it would be my last.
When I moved to London, I had my parents ship my screens over to me and I continued to print and ship orders when they came in. A year went by and I started thinking that perhaps I should be designing a new collection, but my heart wasn't in it. The last one never had the initial burst of sales like my previous launches did. Sales had slowly dripped in, but I didn't realise how much the excitement from my early customers was fuelling my own passion for the business. Without it, I didn't know what to do.
Liner Note Kids didn't end with a bang. It died slowly over four years of competing priorities and a waning interest from both me and the business' original fans. I'd found another side project to fall in love with: YouTube. And I could see a future with it.
It's hard to run a ecommerce brand as a side project. It's a lot of work to keep driving traffic to your store, to keep getting new people interested in your brand. And you need to keep releasing new stuff, which means a lot of time needs to be spent designing and developing new products. I knew that's what I would have to do to make it a success, but it was too much for me to commit to.
While in those early days I was ecstatic to receive an order, I started to see each new (admittedly sporadic) sale as a burden. My prices were so low that they just barely covered the cost of materials and shipping, let alone my time spent printing and doing all the admin. But I wasn't confident enough in my product to charge more. And I think some part of me felt like keeping prices low meant I could be forgiven for keeping my effort low too.
It took a long time for me to come to terms with the fact that Liner Note Kids and I were over.
Giving up on it felt like a betrayal to the 19 year old who saw a future that involved maybe one day having her own retail store and designing merch for all her favorite bands. At 29 I knew that wasn't my dream anymore, but I remembered clearly how much it meant to me once. How many tough times that thread of hope got me through. The years of loneliness and struggles at university where the business and its followers gave me the confidence to keep going. In my real life I was a nobody, but the brand made me somebody online.
Liner Note Kids ended because I didn't need it anymore.
I'd grown confident in my skills and in who I am as a person. My career was thriving, and I'd fallen in love with teaching designers to get better at what they do. The future I imagined no longer involved a retail store full of clothes I'd designed, but rather walking into a bookstore to see my name on the cover of a hardback.
And so, with a heavy heart, at the end of 2018 I closed my store.
In Marie Kondo fashion I said a silent thank you to the brand that had gotten me through the turmoil of my early 20s and helped me become the person I wanted to be. But it was time to move on. Time to clear brain space for bigger and better things that current-me feels passionate about.
I know that my past self would be proud.
I also know that she wouldn't believe where Liner Note Kids took me. That business was my training on how to hustle. It taught me that I can learn to do anything I want. It taught me time management and discipline, and most importantly it taught me how important passion is.
Passion is what kickstarted my first business. Passion is why strangers on the internet trusted me to deliver their products (it certainly wasn't the Tumblr text posts...). And a lack of passion is ultimately why it died.
For a long time I thought of my first business as a failure. But really it was just a chapter in my life that needed to end. My dreams changed, and so did I. So I'm making a promise to myself to always be working towards something that makes my heart sing as loudly as those lyric designs did ten years ago.
RIP LNK. Thank you for everything.

Sidewalk chalk advertisements supporting Hillary Clinton's campaign for the presidency were found defaced on Wednesday across campus.
With the Mock Presidential Election (MPE) happening, the number of advertisements across campus for various candidates has subsequently increased. Some campaigns however have found their advertisements tarnished by opponents.
In response to the vandalism towards the Hillary Clinton advertisement, Richard Hardy, dean of the Centennial Honors College and organizer of the MPE said that he does not condone the action.
Dovile Svirupskaite, campaign manager for the Hillary Clinton MPE campaign, said that she is also unsure about who has defaced their chalk advertisements.
A number of the chalk advertisements that were vandalized had Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's name written over them. Josh Webb, co-campaign manager for the Donald Trump MPE campaign, said that his team is not responsible.
In addition to the vandalism against the chalkings, a number of campaigns have expressed that their posters have been torn off of the walls in the academic building. Svirupskaite expressed that she is disappointed that vandalism is occurring across campus.
Webb said that he believes the people who defaced the Hillary Clinton chalk advertisements are most likely not doing it because they want to contribute to the MPE.
Hardy said that he wishes that the students use their best judgment in regards to making political advertisements on campus.


Giving fans a quick look at the outside of her dog house, which has been decked and has a white picket fence, she said: "You guys, my doghouse is nearly done!"
Kylie Jenner turned daughter Stormi Webster's birthday into a celebration lasting more than a week, coming to a spectacular climax with the elaborate "Stormiworld" carnival on Saturday.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is known to be an avid animal lover, and reportedly has seven dogs, a bunny and a chicken. "#StormiWorld (sic)" The Kylie Cosmetics guru admitted last week that bad weather had caused her to postpone plans for Stormi's party.
Kylie Jenner used to often share social media posts of her dog Norman as well as the other pooches like Bambi and Sophia she adopted years ago. While it may not come as a surprise that the Kardashian-Jenner clan hosted yet another epic event, you won't want to miss out on all the details of the impossible extravagance that was "Stormi World".
Just like her famous mother, Stormi can't get enough of butterflies, and the pair even rocked matching butterfly Halloween costumes previous year. DJ Khaled presented the birthday girl with her first Chanel purse. "She's not pregnant, I think she and Travis are just practicing", said Jenner.


Students sitting for the 2017 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination for the first time in many years, would have reasons to cheer as Computer –Based Test Centre Proprietors' Association of Nigeria (CPAN), an association of CBT owners in Nigeria announced its partnership with the One-Customer–Bank, Sterling Bank Plc, for the seamless registration of students ahead of 2017 UTME.
The appointment of the Bank is based on its laudable contributions towards the development of the education sector in Nigeria and the impact on the major stakeholders across the value chain.
The Association's Chairman, Engr. Sage Udebuami who disclosed the appointment of that Bank at a press conference in Abuja said the decision of the Association to partner with Sterling Bank was also based on its capacity, commitment and provision of infrastructure needed for the consistent growth of the sector especially in the last three years.
His words: "It is a known fact that we have our challenges. To help checkmate these challenges, we have decided to look in the direction of Sterling Bank. We are confident that with its robust IT platform that suits the new model recently introduced by JAMB for adoption by our members, seamless process for the registration of students sitting for JAMB next year is guaranteed".
He expressed confidence that the partnership with Sterling Bank would reduce the turn-around time for the registration of students, reduce cost of operation for CTB owners and increase savings for JAMB.
In his remarks, the Sterling Bank's Head of One Education Mr. Adolphus Abraham said the Bank is delighted to be associated with the CBT owners assuring that the Bank has already put in place the right technology, platforms and competent human resources to ensure the delivery of quality service.
The coming on board of Sterling Bank, according to him, would enhance the process of registration and sales of forms and further support the over 500 CBT owners to fully understand the process of registering over 1.5 million students with the use of the new model recently introduced by JAMB.
"JAMB recently introduced a new model for the registration of students siting for exams. With this partnership, Sterling Bank will provide the right technology and other infrastructure including logistics to ensure that the process is flawless.
It would also give us the opportunity to bring our expertise to bear on the success story of JAMB in deploying education services. It is the responsibility of JAMB to conduct examination but this starts with registration and sales of forms. With our robust Technology, we will put in place an efficient and seamless registration process". He said.
Mr. Abraham, who explained that the Bank is in the education sector to offer a combination of tactics and strategy on one hand with finance on the other hand said the Bank is set to make necessary impact by focusing on technology, content and personnel/ participants in the sector.


Maybe I've missed this before, but my friend Bill Vick was just featured in and called my attention to these LinkedIn case studies. The examples include several areas, including hiring employees, finding a job, making deals, and finding experts.
I teach classes in conjunction with LinkedIn (we're on hold at the moment and will start up after the first of the year). I also really use it. I used LinkedIn to find our literary agent, to connect with the person who's writing our foreword, to find success stories for our book, to connect with experts in related fields, and to identify and connect with a critical contact for my next book project. I don't use it a lot (rather, I don't initiate a lot of requests), but that's not the point — the point is that I have used it very successfully when I used it.
David Teten's two companies both use it very heavily — for recruiting and for finding experts. I'm particularly interested in the aspect of finding experts, because I've often heard the argument that these sites are a waste of time because it's just as easy to find people on Google. This is simply not true, either when you're looking for extremely niche expertise or on a topic that a lot of people talk about, but that there are very few experts on.
My wife, who works for David finding these experts, has had several cases where there was simply so much information out there that it was nearly impossible to sift through Google to find experts. But on LinkedIn, the searches produced results that were much closer to a match. Structured search is valuable because it allows you to distinguish, for example, people who have actually worked in a particular industry from people who are consumers of that industry and just blog about it. Simply talking about something a lot doesn't make you an expert.
