Traditions Regarding Intercession
Sayyid Tabataba'i has also selected several traditions which speak of intercession on the Day of Rising by the Prophet (S.A.W.) and Ahlul-Bayt (A.S.). In order to become more familiar with the subject from this viewpoint, some of these narrations are mentioned here:
1. Al-Hussain Ibn Khalid narrates from Al-Ridha (A.S.), who narrated through his forefathers from the Leader of the Faithful (A.S.)that he said:
"Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) said: `Whoever does not believe in my reservoir, may Allah not bring him to my reservoir, and whoever does not believe in my intercession, may Allah not extend to him my intercession.' Then he said: `Verily, my intercession is for those of my Ummah who shall have committed great sins; as for the good-doers, there shall be no difficulty for them. " Al-Hussain Ibn Khalid said: "I asked Al-Ridha (A.S.); `O son of the Messenger of Allah! What is then the meaning of the words of Allah, Mighty and Great is He: `and they do not intercede except for him whose religion Allah is pleased with, "' (Al Amali, As-Saduq).
2. "Suma'ah Ibn Mihran narrates from Abu Ibrahim (A.S.)that he said about the words of Allah:
May be your Lord will raise you to a praised position': The people, on the Day of Resurrection, will remain standing for forty years; and the sun will be ordered so that it will ride over their heads and they will be bridled with sweat, and the earth will be told not to accept any of their sweat. So, they shall approach Adam to intercede for them, and he will direct them to Nuh, and Nuh will direct them to Ibrahim, and Ibrahim will direct them to Musa, and Musa will direct them to Isa, and Isa will direct them saying: `You should seek help from Muhammad, the last Prophet.' Thereupon, Muhammad (S.A.W.) will say: `I'll do it'; and will proceed until arriving at the door of the Garden; he will knock on it. It will be asked, `Who is it?' (While Allah knows better), and he will say: `Muhammad,' then it will be said: `Open for him'. When the door will be opened, he will turn to his Lord, falling in sajdah. He will not raise his head until he is told: `Speak up and ask, you shall be given; and intercede, your intercession shall be granted.' He will raise his head and turning to his Lord, will fall (again) in sajdah. Then he will be promised as before; then he will raise his head.- Thereupon, he shall intercede until he will intercede even for him who would have been burnt in the fire. Therefore, on the Day of Resurrection, no one among all the nations will be more eminent than Muhammad (S.A.W.); and this is (the meaning of) the words of Allah: `May be your Lord will raise you to a praised position."(Al Ayyashi)
3. Ubayd Ibn Zurarah said:
'Abu Abdillah (A.S.)was asked whether a believer would have the right of intercession. He said: Yes.' Then someone said: `Will even a believer need the intercession of Muhammad (S.A.W.) on that day?' He said: Yes, the believers too will come with wrongs and sins; and there will be none but shall need the intercession of Muhammad on that day."' (Ubayd) said: 'And someone asked him about the words of the Messenger of Allah: `I am the Chief of the children of Adam, and I say this without boasting.' He said: Yes,'then he said: He will hold the chain-link of the door of the garden and open it; then he will fall in sajdah, and Allah will tell him: `Raise your head, to intercede, your intercession shall be granted; ask, you shall be given.' Thereupon, he will raise his head and intercede and his intercession will be accepted; and he will ask and be given.
4. Al-Qumi narrates a tradition in his Tafseer, under the verse: 'and intercession will not avail aught with Him save of him whom He permits," (34:23), that Abu Al-Abbas al-Mukabbar said:
'A servant of a wife of Ali Ibn Al-Hussain (A),named Abu Ayman, came (to the fifth Imam- (A.S.)) and said: `O Abu Ja'far! You mislead the people, saying intercession of Muhammad, intercession Muhammad.' (Hearing this) Abu Ja'far became so angry that his face took a glowering expression; then he said: `Woe unto you! O Abu Ayman! Are you deluded by chastity of your stomach and genitals? Why, when you will see the terror of resurrection, you shall certainly be in need of intercession of Muhammad. Fie on you! Would he intercede except for him who would have been sentenced to the fire?' (Then) he said: `There is not one from the early people to the later ones but he will need the intercession of Muhammad (S.A.W.) on the Day of Resurrection.' Then again Abu Ja'far said: `Certainly the Messenger of Allah has (authority of) intercession for his Ummah, and we have (authority of) intercession for our Shiites, and our Shiites have (authority of) intercession for their families.' Then he said: And surely a believer shall intercede for (very large numbers of) people like the tribes of Rabi'ah and Mudhar. And surely a believer shall intercede for his servant, saying: "O my Lord! I owe this to him, he protected me from heat and cold.""
5. The (fifth) Imam said about the verse, 'And intercession will not avail aught with Him save him whom He permits:
"No prophet or apostle may intercede until Allah permits him, except the Apostle of Allah; because Allah has already given him permission before the Day of Resurrection; and intercession is (allowed) to him and to the Imams from his progeny, and after that to the prophets." (Tafseer, Al-Qumi)
6. Ali (A.S.)said:
"The Apostle of Allah (S) said: `Three (groups) shall intercede with Allah and their intercession will be accepted: The prophets, then the (religious) scholars, then the martyrs. " (Al-Khisal)
7. Abu Abdillah narrates through his father and grandfather, from Ali (A.S.)that he said:
"The garden has eight gates: one for the entry of prophets and the truthful ones, the other for the martyrs and the good ones; and five gates are for the entry of our Shiites and lovers-I shall be standing on the As-Sirat (the path, the bridge over hell) praying and saying: `My Lord! Save my Shiites and my lovers and my helpers and those who followed me in the (life of the) world.' When all of a sudden there will come a voice from inside the throne: Your prayer is granted and your intercession for your Shiites accepted.' And every Shiite of mine and everyone who loves me, helps me and fights my enemies by (his) deed or word, shall intercede for seventy thousand of his neighbors and relatives; and (there is) a gate from which shall enter all the Muslims who witness that there is no god except Allah and in whose heart there is not an iota of enmity towards us, the people of the cause."
8. Al-Kadhim (A.S.)narrated from his father, through his forefathers, from the Prophet that he said:
"My intercession is for those of my Ummah who would have committed big sins; as for the doers of good, there shall be no difficulty for them." He was asked: "O son of the Messenger of Allah! How can the intercession be for those who have committed big sins; while Allah says, `and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves' (21:28); and a committer of big sins cannot be approved?" He (A.S.)said: "No believer commits a sin but he regrets it and feels ashamed. And the Prophet has said:
Enough is regret as repentance, 'and also he has said: `Whoever is pleased by a good deed and displeased by a bad deed, he is a believer.' Therefore, if there is someone who does not feel remorse for a sin he has committed, he is not a believer, and intercession will not avail him, and he will be an unjust one. And Allah says: `The unjust shall have no true friend nor any intercessor who should be obeyed' (40:18)." It was said to him: "O son of the Messenger of Allah! How is it that he who is not sorry for a sin he has committed, he does not remain a believer?" He said: 'Anyone who commits a big sin, knowing that he must be punished for it, will certainly feel remorse for what he has done. And as soon as he is sorry, he is repentant, eligible for intercession. But if he is not sorry, then he is persisting in it, and a persistent (sinner) is not forgiven; because he does not believe in the punishment of what he has done. Has he believed in that punishment he would have been sorry. And the Prophet has said: `No big sin abides with apologizing, and no small sin remains (small) with persistence.' And as for the words of Allah, "and they do not intercede except for him whom He approves, " it means that they do not intercede except for him whose religion He approves. Religion is an acknowledgement that good and bad deeds have to be recompensed. If one's religion were approved, one would feel remorse for the sins one would have committed, because he would know what their result would be on the (Day of) Resurrection." (At-Tawhid)
9. A similar theme is found in a tradition quoted in `Ilalu-Sh-Sharaye' from Abu Ishaq al-Laythi that he said:
`O son of the Messenger of Allah! Tell me about a believer, possessing religious understanding when he reaches (a high point in) knowledge and becomes perfect, does he commit fornication?' He said `By God! No.' I said: `Then does he indulge in sodomy? He said: `By God! No.' I said: `Then does he steal?' He said: 'No.' I said: `Then does he drink intoxicant?' He said: `No.' I said: `Then does he commit any of the big sins or indulge in any of these indecencies?' He said: `No.' I said: `Then does he commit a sin?' He said: `Yes, and he is a believer, sinner, submissive.' I said: `What does submissive mean?' He said: `The submissive (servant) does not persist in it, does not keep doing it..."
10. Al-Ridha (A.S.)narrated through his forefathers that the Messenger of Allah said:
"When the resurrection comes, Allah, Great and Mighty is He, will manifest himself to His believer servant, and will remind him of his sins one by one; then Allah will forgive him; Allah will not let (even) a near angel or an apostle prophet know of his (sin), and will cover it least anyone becomes aware of it. Then He will say to his bad deeds `Be good deeds." (Al-Khis?l)
11. Abu Dharr said:
"The Messenger of Allah (S) said: A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection; and it will be said: "Show him his small sins; and keep back from him his big sins." Then it will be said to him: "You did so and so on such and such a day." And he will go on confessing, while apprehensive of his big sins. Then it will be said: "Give him a good deed in place of every bad deed." Then he will say: "I had done some which I do not see- (mentioned) here. "Abu Dhar said: 'And I saw the Messenger of Allah laughing until his teeth were shown." (Muslim)
12. As-Sadiq (A.S.)said:
"When the Day of Resurrection comes, Allah Glorified and Sublime is He, shall spread His mercy until even Iblis will hope for His mercy." (Al-Amali, As-Saduq)

The Community Presbyterian Church plans to open a day care center on South Westerly Road.

Church will help fill childcare void

The Community Presbyterian Church plans to open a day care center to help fill the void left by the shutdown of Head Start last year.
The Payson school board last week approved the lease of the same district building on South Westerly Road in which Head Start had operated.
"I think it's great the building will be used for something that supports not only our district, but our community. I was sad when Head Start announced it wasn't continuing and they were previously in that building," said Board President Barbara Underwood. "It's a great cause."
The new program will help address a critical shortage of preschool options for working parents throughout Rim Country, turned into something of a crisis when Head Start shut down with its subsidies for low-income families. Roughly half of the families with kids in Payson schools qualify for free and reduced lunches under federal family income guidelines.
In one recent national survey, Arizona ranked 43rd among the states with access to day care. The Wallet Hub study considered measurements of quality and access. That included things like the percentage of 3- to 4-year-olds in pre-kindergarten programs, income requirements for subsidized programs like Head Start, per-student spending on preschool programs, and monthly payments and co-payments as a percentage of family income.
Arizona ranked 45th overall, with a total score of 35. That compares to a score of 72 for Nebraska and 18 for last-place Indiana. Arizona got a score of 48 for access, 32 for quality and 49 for resources and support.
One recent study by the National Institute for Early Education Research found students in full-day pre-K programs do better on math and literacy tasks than students in half-day programs. A host of studies shows that the social and academic boost offered by a good pre-K program affects not only success in school, but future social costs ranging from the risk of crime to the need for social services.
A RAND Corporation review of scientific studies on preschool programs found good programs yield benefits when it comes to future academic achievement, behavior, educational progression, delinquency, crime, employment and other measurements.
The benefits depended on better-trained providers and smaller child-to-staff ratios. Overall, good early childhood programs yielded $1.80 to $17 in benefits for every dollar spent. (https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB9145.html).
The RAND study looked at long-term outcomes connected to 19 programs and found significant benefits from19 of those programs. In some cases, the measured benefits faded out after several years. Sometimes, they appeared to persist for 35 years.
Payson families have one advantage in early education, which is the school district's decision to continue offering all-day kindergarten, even after the state legislature cut funding for the expanded hours during the recession.
Payson shifted other funds to support a program critical to many working parents, which research shows also increases critical reading scores on into third grade for many students.
Gov. Doug Ducey finally allocated some additional money to help districts return to all-day kindergarten, but it will help only a handful of districts in low-income areas.
Payson continues to offer all-day kindergarten with money shifted from other categories.
In 2014, Arizona families paid an average of $9,437 annually for day care, according to an Economic Policy Institute report, putting high-quality programs out of reach for most families — especially in rural areas like Payson.
Quality of early education in Arizona (1=Best; 25=Avg.):
· 44th– share of 3- and 4-year-olds Enrolled in pre-K, pre-K Special Education and Head Start
· 37th– total reported spending per child enrolled in preschool
· 20th– monthly child care co-payment fees as a percent of family income
· 24th– share of school districts that offer state pre-K program
· 39th– pre-K program growth

Fantastic. It is past time for the church community to restore it's responsibility to take care of the needs of those most vulnerable. When I was growing up the church was the primary for all those services and they abrogated their biblical responsibility to the government sixty years ago. Government has never solved the social ills. In fact, government has only dealt with the symptoms while not mitigating the cause of the maladies in our society.

China's space explorations offer the U.S. and other nations a chance to explore more international cooperation.
Outer space is alive with the work of scientists who monitor extraordinarily complex ships of exploration. These vehicles are probing ever farther within and beyond our solar system, the planets, including our Earth, which orbit the Sun – our special star.
Early in January, China landed a lunar vehicle on the dark side – the far side – of the Moon. The Chang'e-4 craft has sent pictures that reveal predictably barren and cratered landscape. China's first lunar mission, the orbiter Chang'e-1, launched in 2007.
The exotic name Chang'e derives from the goddess who according to Chinese legend inhabits the Moon. This space mission has generated extensive media coverage. This includes statements that space exploration represents the latest manifestation of China's threatening ambitions on Earth.
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to be active decades after the successful 1969 mission to land men on the Moon (and return them safely to Earth).
The U.S. landed the robot Spirit on Mars on Jan. 4, 2004, after a complex journey of 300 million miles through the solar system, ending with a perfect touchdown. The partner rover Opportunity came down equally successfully on the other side of the planet twenty-one days later.
Other lander and orbital missions have followed, but the durability of these two aptly named robots is distinctive. Scientists expected them to survive for approximately ninety days but instead they transmitted for years. Spirit eventually became stuck in sand and ceased transmissions to Earth in 2010.
Science helped fuel the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, but even then, there was positive nonmilitary cooperation. The International Geophysical Year (IGY) in 1958 had the ancillary benefit of agreement to keep Antarctica free of military activity.

Q: Difference in treatment of Infinity and Undefined I understand that
$$1)\; \lim_{x\to0}\frac1{x} = +\infty$$
$$2)\; \frac1{0} is\,undefined $$
If both infinity and undefined are just abstract concepts and not a type of number, why I see this kind of expressions used
$$ \lim_{x\to\infty}expression$$
but not these kind of expressions?
$$ \lim_{x\to undefined}expression$$

A: While $\infty$ in calculus is not a real number, it is still a well-defined notion. It just means "eventually larger than any other point".
In the first limit you present, $\frac1x$, as $x\to 0$, we say that the limit equals $\infty$, since given any number $M$, we can find $x$ such that $\frac1x>M$. Do note, by the way, that we need $x>0$ in order to conclude the limit is positive.
In the second term you use, $\frac10$, there is no limit. We don't evaluate it against some process which continues. It's just a term which may or may not be a real number. If it were, suppose some $r$ then $r\cdot 0=1$ but there is no such $r$ which is a real number and $r\cdot 0\neq 0$.
Now, when you write $\lim\limits_{x\to y}$, you mean that either $y$ is a real number and $x$ gets arbitrarily close to it; or that $y=\pm\infty$ and $x$ gets arbitrarily large (with the appropriate sign, of course).
So while $\infty$ is not a real number, it is a well-defined notion; whereas $\frac10$ is just meaningless.

A: Your understanding may be a little off, if you ask me.

*

*The limit of $\frac{1}{x^2}$ as $x$ approaches $0$ does, in the strict sense of the word, not exist. However, $\frac{1}{x^2}$ has the following property:
$$\forall M\in\mathbb R\exists\delta>0: |x-0|<\delta \implies \frac{1}{x^2} > M.$$
Instead of writink $\frac{1}{x^2}$ has this property, we shorten our notation to $$"\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{1}{x^2} = \infty"$$

*$\frac{1}{0}$, on the other hand, is completely different. By definition, $\frac ab$ is defined as "the unique solution of the equation $bx = a$", and by this definition, $\frac 10$ is not defined. Note, I am not saying $\frac10$ is undefined, I am saying it is not defined. It is not equal to some concept called undefined, it isn't equal to anything.

Peter walks into the staffroom carrying a signed sports tabard and a box of matches. He sits down heavily on the chair beside the fridge, closes his eyes briefly and sighs.
'What's the matter?' asks the person sitting next to him.
'Well… you know Billy Jones, big boy, cross-eyed, year Eight, Dad's in prison for arson…' but the bell goes before Peter can finish the story of his run in with an unpleasant pupil. Within a year, Peter will have left the teaching profession.
On January 31st, 2014, Sir Michael Wilshaw Chief Inspector of Schools, speaking at the North of England education conference in Nottingham, commented on the national scandal of four out of ten teachers leaving the profession within five years of completing their training. One suggestion is that these departing teachers simply lack resilience. A few years ago, The Teacher Development Agency was asked by the Dept. of Education and Skills (DfES) to identify psychometric tests which will weed out 'less resilient' personalities from groups of prospective students before they start their teacher training courses. After a bumpy ride, these tests came into existence in September 2012. The DfES hopes that money will not, therefore, be wasted on training people who will never have the personality to survive in a classroom. But what is resilience? How will these tests measure resilience and, most importantly, how have government agencies decided that 'resilience' (or perhaps only the appearance of being resilient) has become a necessary – perhaps the most necessary – part of the repertoire of some one who wishes to teach?
From Selye's GAS in 1955 to Meichenbaum's Stress Inoculation Training in 1975, and on to Marmot in 1991, 'workplace stress' has been a central topic in psychology research for decades – and then came Seligman and this new thing called 'happiness' or, as in his latest book 'the ability to flourish even under duress'. This attractively upbeat focus on resilience i.e. 'the ability to flourish under duress', rather than stress, has grown out of the Positive Psychology movement, which had its coming out ceremony in 1998. Martin Seligman, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, advocated at that year's annual meeting of the American Psychological Association that mental illness should not be the sole preoccupation of his discipline. In 1975, Seligman had published the results of research which showcased the development of the concept of 'learned helplessness'. Having gained evidence that he could replicate the inaction and hopelessness of human depression in animal participants, Seligman took his research in the opposite direction, and explored the possibility that interventions by psychologists using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) could promote optimism, wellbeing and resilience in human subjects.
Over the last 20 years, positive psychology has gained credence through further research by social scientists, neuroscientists and economists, and the importance given to its' emphasis on the measurement of 'happiness' has been willingly embraced by politicians on both sides of the Atlantic. David Cameron's two million pound plan to measure the nation's happiness got under way in April 2012. The Office of National Statistics had its first four happiness questions in that year's annual Integrated Household Survey which was sent out to 200,000 British homes. In the United States, the US army isn't just measuring the levels of 'happiness' amongst its troops; it is attempting to promote well being by investing 125 million dollars in a 5 year programme involving 800,000 soldiers, which involves teaching soldiers 'emotional resilience' at Seligman's department at the University of Pennsylvania. Fostering resilience in pupils has become a by word in education, too. For many student teachers in the United States and in Britain, 'creating the resilient pupil' is part of the course programme. In many schools, fostering resilience in pupils is part of the pastoral agenda. So perhaps it was inevitable that academic research would turn to the examination of resilience in teachers themselves. For example, in 2007 and 2008 Cardiff University's Work Environment Research Centre reported on a longitudinal study into work related stress which included teachers in its participant sample and in Cambridge the Well Being Institute studies the development of well being in schools.
But there is a need to define the sources and the mechanisms of resilient behaviour before we can incorporate resilience training into any pre-vocational assessment or CPD programme. This has been the focus of a series of seminars entitled 'The Resilient Teacher' which have recently been based in the Education Department of the University of Nottingham. The central questions of the debate have been 'what is resilience?' and 'can it be usefully fostered in teachers?' These ESRC funded series of seminars, led by Christopher Day, Anne Edwards, Amanda Griffiths and Qing Gu have been examining the wide ranging body of contemporary research into 'resilience' in teachers. The focus of the first tranche of seminars, stretching from May 2010 to January 2011, was to seek a definition of 'resilience'.
Rather than seek a theoretical definition, Dr. Nigel Hunt, who contributed to these seminars, showed us how his work focused on gathering empirical evidence by observing how individual people became 'able to cope' and able to 'function normally' after living through a traumatic event. He has led research which gathered the responses of participants in Iraq and China to the appalling experiences they had of, respectively, war and earthquake. The results of his research suggest that the development of resilience can be tracked and supported by narration. After a traumatic event an individual goes through a series of changes in how they narrate their experience. At first narrating their experience is harrowing. Some obvious and measurable indicators of this distress are that the participants' blood pressure rises, their heart rate increases, they tremble. They display all the reactions of high arousal – the 'fight or flight' stress response – they are re-experiencing the event. But as they repeat their explanations they gradually incorporate these experiences into a narrative which they can safely repeat without distress. Dr. Hunt's premise is that this alteration of the effect of the narrative on the narrator, which can only happen after a number of repetitions, may be at the root of the development of resilience. The question for those in dismay at the exodus of teachers from the workforce is – could Dr Hunt's finding be usefully applied to teaching?
Dr Hunt introduced his contribution to the seminar series by saying that at first he could not see how his work with the traumatised victims of war and natural disasters could be related to ordinary members of the teaching profession. As he explored the experiences of teachers he realised that there were similar patterns of incidents and response at play. If time to talk were given precedence – if teachers actually had 'time to talk' at school as part of the weekly timetable then would they, could they become a 'more resilient' workforce? What he had observed in trauma victims was the dynamic process of resilience being built. The current psychometric tests available for ITT to measure resilience are static. They can only offer a snapshot of a state of mind. The interrelational quality of the conversation which Peter was about to have in the staff room that day is harder to measure but could provide invaluable information on how to promote 'resilience' within the teaching profession on how to promote resilience in any profession. Far more useful information than the blurred snapshot of a prospective employee's mental state offered by psychometric testing and far more useful than waiting to patch up those who fall by the wayside by offering them ten sessions of CBT.

Massive Monero Cryptojacking Scheme Busted by French Police
boss September 1, 2019 Cryptocurrency Market, News 0
A gigantic Monero cryptojacking scheme, big enough to take down all the civilian websites on the planet, was recently taken down by the French police. The French police cybercrime unit, C3N, believes the scheme was designed by a French-speaking group, which has allegedly made millions of euros from several fraudulent activities.
The French cybercrime unit stated that it has received the alert from the popular antivirus company, Avast, about a private server that may be used to distribute a virus on the web.
Upon investigation, the French police was able to uncover the multi-million fraudulent scheme which was used as a channel to defraud people via cryptojacking, ransomware, and to steal patients' data from unsuspecting hospitals. Findings show that over 850,000 computers are already infected, including large firms and hospitals in over one hundred (100) countries across the globe.
The cyber fraudsters allegedly infected these computers through virus-filled emails for fast money, infected USB, and links for erotic photos. Unsuspecting victims ignorantly click on the emails and/or links, only to get their computer filled with the virus.
The virus, dubbed Retadup, was carefully designed to work underground without alerting the owners. Therefore, you could use your computer perfectly without any idea that their computer's CPU is being used to mine the cryptocurrency Monero (XMR).
Cryptojacking, Ransomware, Hacking Hospitals
The three part scheme is primarily focused on stealing the privacy-oriented digital currency Monero, collecting patients data from hospitals especially in Israel, and extorting money from ransomware victims. French police confirmed that millions of euros have already being made through this scheme, which has been supposedly up and running for about 3 years.
Thanks to the tip-off, and help from the United States FBI, the French police was able to dismantle the network, freeing thousands of infected computers around the world. Though they did not completely destroy the pirate server, they were able to redirect the virus-laden network to a part of the web rendered inactive. This way, the virus-filled network, although still in the system, will be rendered useless.
The French police explained that this measure is necessary so they can free every infected computer on the planet. With this measure, any infected computer that has been off will be reached immediately it comes online, making it the best way to rid every affected computer on the planet.

What is a mutual fund? Here's all you need to know about this investment scheme
August 8, 2022 by aandd24
Ad P
Mutual fund…Equity fund…SIP & Lumpsum scheme…'Imma bounce' is what you would feel if someone asks you about these and you don't know what these words actually mean.
Mutual funds often generate a lot of curiosity among professionals who are seeking to invest their hard-earned money for saving purposes. But what exactly is a mutual fund? How do they work?
In simple words, a mutual fund refers to pooling of money from a number of people who have a common investment gold. The amount collected from the investors is then invested in stock market instruments like shares, debentures and other securities.
The income earned through these instruments are shared by its unit holders (investors) as per the units held by them.
"Investments in securities are spread across a wide cross-section of industries and sectors and thus the risk is diversified because all stocks may not move in the same direction in the same proportion at the same time. Mutual funds issue units to the investors in accordance with quantum of money invested by them. Investors of mutual funds are known as unitholders," Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) says.
What is an asset management company (AMC)?
An asset management company is the firm which manages the money pooled in from the investors and then invests the amount in various instruments. The AMCs are also known as money managers or money management firms. The funds are either actively or passively managed by a fund manager. The fund manager takes all decisions pertaining to the sale and purchase of securities.
What is a net asset value (NAV)?
According to Securities Exchange Board of India (NAV), the performance of a particular mutual fund scheme is denoted by its net asset value.
In simple words, mutual funds invest money collected from the investors in securities markets. The NAV is actually the market value of these securities held by the scheme. The NAV changes on a day to day basis.
The NAV per unit is the market value of securities of a scheme divided by the total number of units of the scheme on any particular date.
What are different types of mutual fund schemes?
There are different types of mutual fund schemes based on maturity period and investment objectives. Here we discuss few of them.
Open-ended schemes: As the word suggests, open-ended mutual fund schemes are the ones which are available for subscription and repurchase on a continuous basis and don't have a fixed maturity period. The investors can conveniently buy and sell units at the NAV which is declared on a daily basis.
Close-ended schemes: These mutual fund schemes have a maturity period, i.e 3-5 years. They are open for subscription only during a specific period at the launch of the scheme. The investors can invest in the scheme at the time of the new fund offer and can buy or sell the units on the stock exchanges.
Growth/Equity oriented schemes: The growth fund schemes are meant to ensure capital appreciation over the medium to long-term. Such schemes invest a major part of their money in equities. They have higher risks and provide different options to the investors like dividend option, growth etc.
Debt schemes: These mutual fund schemes usually invest in fixed income securities like bonds, corporate debentures, government securities and other money instruments. They are considered less risky than equity schemes. The NAVs are affected due to change in interest rates in the country.
Hybrid schemes: They are a combination of debt and equity schemes which are meant to meet the investment requirements. They usually invest 40-60 per cent in equity and debt instruments.

Q: Outlook 2013 ost data file location change I am trying to change location of OST data file. To using ForceOSTPath. But don't know why its not working for me. I also try to ad new account.

A: Happened for me as well once, with the mistake being I entered the ForceOSTPath in the wrong branch.
Also be aware that in order to change the OST path, you need to set up the e-mail account again—OST paths of existing account configurations cannot be changed.

*

*Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook

*Create a dword [REG_EXPAND_SZ] value called ForceOSTPath

*DoubleClick the newly created ForceOSTPath entry and enter the location to where you want to store the .ost file(s)

*Reboot

*In Control Panel, go to Mail, then click E-mail Accounts.

*Choose your Exchange account and click Change.... Note down the server and user name, then cancel out of the dialog.

*Click Remove to remove that account.

*Click New... and set up a new Exchange account with the server and user name you just noted down. Set the check mark to modify settings and make sure the OST file is getting created in the correct location (if not, you can still change it at this point, but not afterwards).

A: Use the ForcePSTPath regedit to change the default location of data file. While in outlook 2013 IMAP account data file is OST. But ForceOSTPath does not work for IMAP account.

She Said, She Said: Indian Fantasy, Mythology, and the Future
In News by Dennis Abrams July 5, 2016
Is the 'perennial cachet' in fantasy fiction so strong for booksellers in India that 'writers are told by publishers to base their stories around the time of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata'? Two views here.
Fantasy made real: Jal Mahal at Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur. Image – iStockphoto: pilesasmiles
A refreshing debate here that might be held in many parts of the world. As the digital dynamic makes "other" cultures' traditions more available to all of us, those with especially powerful institutions like Indian mythology can find themselves pressured to expand. Or, as this set of commentaries in tandem illustrates, that may already be happening. — Porter Anderson
By Dennis Abrams | @DennisAbrams2
Science-Fiction Is 'Almost Absent Here'
Writing for Scroll.in, Vani Kaushal asks asks the question: Will Indian fantasy writers ever look beyond the religious epics?
"In India, an ever-growing group of writers is in perpetual search of the bestselling template. And yet, when it comes to fantasy, none of them appears to have latched on to A Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, or even the Harry Potter models.
"Instead, there is the METOO model. Mythological Epics Told Over and Over."
Is it simply an Indian love of mythology and retelling the same stories over and over again in different forms? Probably not.
Kaushal writes:
Vani Kaushal
"The inside story: Indian writers are told by publishers to base their stories around the time of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, or, at least, have some references to these epics by way of plot, characters and names. Why? One answer is that bookshops prefer to display titles that have a perennial cachet–and anything relating to the Indian epics fits into that category. Which in turn is because such novels often make readers out of non-readers.
"Of course, there have been innovations and experiments even within the limiting framework of retelling the epics. The feminist point of view has been captured through the eyes of Draupadi (Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's The Palace of Illusions) or Lakshman's wife Urmila (Kavita Kane's Sita's Sister), and the political, through narratives about Krishna (Krishna Udayasankar's The Aryavarta Chronicles)…
"But the fact is that it is the racy retelling in straightforward form and mostly pedestrian language that keeps hitting the shelves as publishers scramble to build their healthy religious epic portfolios.
"'Mythologies help people understand who they are and explore their past. What could be better than that?' says Amish Tripathi, author of the Shiva Trilogy."
Does this mean Indian fantasy writing will largely stick to mythology, Kaushal asks?
Writer Ravi Subramanian tells her that he thinks not. "Just like Amish [Tripathi] made waves with his Shiva trilogy, someone will come along and break new ground in this territory," he says.
And that's the view from some publishers as well. Sautam Padmanabhan, CEO of Westland, says "In the West there is a lot of crossover with science fiction, a genre almost absent here, resulting in a wide variety of themes and stories. As the genre evolves in India we will see the emergence of stories that don't seem totally inspired by myth or history."
'Helped by a Multi-Media Approach'
Also at Scroll.in, Achala Upendran responds to Kaushal by writing Indian fantasy writers are creating worlds beyond the epics, but readers must know where to look.
Upendran:
Achala Upendran
"Even a cursory search will show you that Indian fantasy has not been limited to the ethereal realm of METOOs. More than a decade ago, Samit Basu wrote the high-selling The Simoqin Prophecies, simultaneously "epic fantasy" in the tried and tested tradition of Tolkien and irreverent spoof of the genre a la Terry Pratchett. He followed it up with the equally successful The Manticore's Secret and The Unwaba Revelations, both of which received critical and commercial success.
"Nor is Basu alone in his genre. Recent entrants include Shweta Taneja, whose Anantya Tantrist mysteries blend detective fiction with horror and the supernatural. Granted, they do feature mythological beings, but hey, whatcha gonna do? It's the burden of our heritage.
"Indra Das's The Devourers, more "literary" than many of his fellow fantasy writer's offerings, tells the generation-spanning tale of werewolves and shapeshifters in Mughal India, following their path of destruction right to the dhabas of modern Calcutta. Sadly, this too features rakshasas, and even an allusion to the shapeshifters' place in the Hindu pantheon, but, like I said, burden of heritage."
She concludes:
"Granted, the marketing of the fantasy genre in India is considerably different from its counterpart in the West. It is true that channels abroad are tried and tested, including a multitude of geeky fan websites that exclusively review and discuss developments in the genre. There are imprints and even entire publishing houses dedicated to science fiction and fantasy (SFF), and agents and editors who specialize in [them], as well. On top of which, video and board games, films and TV shows have vastly enlarged the reach of the genre, encouraging more authors to take a stab at building new fictional realms.
"But maybe it's changing in India too, even if slowly.
"Juggernaut, publisher Chiki Sarkar's mobile app venture, recently appointed…Indra Das [as] consulting SFF editor, and has been putting out short fictions and serialized novels in the genre by Indian talents, writing that notably does not fall into the METOO category." (For more on Sarkar and Juggernaut, see our story.)"
Upendran writes that younger authors, trained on Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl, can begin to change the overall contours of the market, and she looks to the drive for diversity in literature to encourage the development of something "different from Ye Olde Englande under another name."
Her suggestion is that a wider receptivity to media beyond literature would help: "Rather than just pick at books, we need to push for more games, more web comics, for movies that will divest rakshasas and naagins of their religious overtones. If there's one thing that fantasy books teach, its that strength really does lie in pulling together."

Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita CME
PubMed Link:
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare, sporadic, congenital cutaneous vascular disorder of unknown etiology.[1][2] CMTC usually presents at birth with persistent cutis marmorata, vascular telangiectasia, and occasionally, ulcers.[1] There is typically the improvement of this reticular vascular skin pattern during the first year with gradual improvement in time.[1] Some infants with CMTC have been associated with musculoskeletal anomalies, vascular abnormalities, cardiac defects, neurological defects, and ocular anomalies.
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita is of unknown etiology; however, several studies have attributed the cause of the disease to be multifactorial.[1]
CMTC is usually present at birth however some cases of delayed onset have been reported with lesions developing three months to 2 years later.[2][3] The frequency of CMTC is unknown; presently, about 300 cases have been reported.[3] There has been no gender predilection seen in CMTC.[3] Many studies have suggested a female predominance, however, the difference was not statistically significant.[4]
The pathogenesis of this disorder is unclear and likely multifactorial.[3] Most cases of CMTC have occurred sporadically.[3] An autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with incomplete penetrance and teratogens have been considered in playing a role in the development of CMTC.[3] Some authors have suggested a lethal gene hypothesis due to the patchy distribution of the lesions and its' sporadic nature.[4] Elevated maternal serum human chorionic gonadotrophin level and fetal ascites have also been associated with this disease.[4]
The diagnosis of CMTC is clinical, as histology is nonspecific. Swollen endothelial cells, abnormal dilation of multiple capillaries in all layers of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, as well as dilated veins and venous lakes, can be seen.[1][2] Sparse perivascular lymphocytic infiltration within the dermis may also be seen.[2]
History and Physical
CMTC is characterized by dark purple to red, reticulated vascular pattern intermixed with telangiectasia and occasionally prominent veins.[5][6] The lesions can be localized or generalized and usually present at birth.[3][4] The localized variant is said to be more common, affecting about 60% of children with the disease, while the generalized form is said to occur in about 40% of children with CMTC.[4] When localized, it presents unilaterally, in a segmental fashion with a sharp demarcation that does not cross midline, usually affecting the lower limbs followed by trunk and face.[2] Generalized forms of CMTC tend to spare palms, soles, and mucous membranes while most commonly affecting the trunk, limbs, face, and scalp[4].
Areas of skin that are enclosed by the reticulated pattern may be normal, erythematous, atrophic, and or even ulcerated.[7] The purple mottling of the lesions may be enhanced in a cold environment; however, the persistent mottling of the skin after warming is a diagnostic pearl of CMTC.[3] Some lesions can be blanched readily on palpation, while other lesions may be partly obliterated even with firm pressure.[2] Hypotrophy of the affected limb is the most common associated finding. However, hypertrophy of the limb may also be seen.[1]
Other associated extracutaneous findings include (1) skeletal anomalies such as syndactyly, tendinitis stenosis, cleft palate; (2) Glaucoma; (3) other vascular anomalies like port-wine stains, angiokeratomas, and hemangiomas; (4) neurological anomalies such as macrocephaly presenting as Macrocephaly-cutis marmorata telangiectasia congenital, a syndrome that also includes neonatal hypotonia, developmental delay, overgrowth, and connective-tissue defects. [8]
Diagnosis of CMTC is clinical; with diagnostic criteria proposed by Kienast and Hoeger, that includes the presence of three major criteria: (1) Congenital reticular erythema, (2) absence of venectasia, and (3) Unresponsiveness to local warming; and the presence of two or more minor criteria: (1) fading of erythema within two years, (2) Telangiectasia within the affected area, (3) Port-wine stain, (4) Ulceration withing affected area, (5) Atrophy within affected area. These criteria, however, have not been validated.[8]
Imaging studies are indicated when an associated congenital anomaly is suspected. Consider evaluation by ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and/or vascular cosmetic surgery depending on the presenting associated abnormality. Limb girth and length measurements should be monitored on follow up.[4] Affected patients should be screened for associated anomalies for at least three years.[1]
Treatment / Management
CMTC usually does not require the treatment of skin lesions. Fading of erythema and marmoration during the first two years of life can be seen most probably due to the normal thickening and maturation of the skin, however, they rarely disappear completely.[1][7]
Avoidance of cold, vasodilators, aspirin, pentoxifylline, PUVA are the many reported treatments that have shown varying results.[6] Studies have shown CMTC generally respond poorly to laser therapy.[3] If ulceration is present, treat infected areas and use occlusive dressings if needed.
The differential diagnosis of CMTC includes physiological cutis marmorata, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, Sturge-Weber syndrome, Adams-Oliver syndrome, Bockenheimer disease, and reticular hemangioma syndrome, among other disorders with a similar cutaneous presentation.[2][4][5][6] Physiological cutis marmorata presents in a similar reticular symmetric pattern over the trunk and extremities, however, unlike CMTC. The vascular pattern disappears with local warming.[4][5] In Klippel-Trenanuany syndrome (KTS), port wine stains, venous varicosities, and soft-tissue hypertrophy, and sometimes internal hemangiomas can be seen.[4] The absence of venectasia until the age of one year should aid in the differentiation of CMTC from KTS. Sturge-Weber syndrome can be characterized by facial port-wine stains, seizures, mental retardation, glaucoma, as well as cerebral malformations and tumors.[1] Adams-Oliver syndrome should be ruled out as mottling consistent with CMTC can be seen along with cardiac malformations, limb defects, and aplasia cutis congenita.[1]
Bodenheimer disease (diffuse phlebectasia) presents with diffuse large and painful venous ectasias, usually affecting one limb in contrast to CMTC. This disorder usually has an onset at childhood with gradual progression.[1] Reticular hemangioma syndrome presents with vascular anomalies and is distinguished by the coexistence of anogenital-urinary-sacral anomalies, intractable ulceration, and sometimes cardiac failure.[2] Additionally, Divry Van Boageart syndrome, homocystinuria, Down syndrome, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, and neonatal lupus erythematosus are disorders that can be associated with a physiological cutis marmorata and must also be considered in the differential diagnosis.[2][4]
Prognosis is overall good with greater than half of the patients experiencing improvement of skin lesions.[1][7]
Although skin lesions fade over time, the associated limb asymmetry persists. Other complications are those related to treatment, specifically increased risk of scarring associated with laser therapy in patients with persistent CMTC [9]
Consider evaluation by ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and/or vascular cosmetic surgery depending on the presenting associated abnormality.
Enhancing Healthcare Team Outcomes
CMTC usually does not require the treatment of skin lesions. Prognosis is overall good with greater than half of the patients experiencing improvement of skin lesions.[1][7] However, when a diagnosis of CMTC is reached it is imperative to rule out and treat or manage any associated anomalies. Dermatology nurses and nurse practitioners can be involved in care, provided education, follow up, and arranging consultations when needed. [Level 5]

It's tempting to think leadership also follows a continuum, one anchored by bad and great, with good somewhere in between. This deeply rooted belief reassures us that leadership follows a predictable pattern, and that through hard work and experience one can progress along the drawn line.
At the top right, great and good — force and direction — are paired but not necessarily alloyed. That's as it should be. The tension between them galvanizes will and commitment, tacks recurring debate about what great and good mean, and gives rise to a critical and creative climate that fuels progress. This is where people want to be. It's an enviable place in which to reside, as it combines productive and constructive energy. The waters here are favorable to astute navigation. This is the realm of a vital leader, with all the healthy energy vitality denotes.
At the top left, not-great leadership combines with good leadership. Although all good intentions exist, the power to implement them is lacking, which creates a pleasant enough place to work, but one bereft of the vitality necessary to advance personal, social, or organizational goals. The values are spot-on, but there is no forward motion. Ethical rectitude is comforting, but if stalled, it means little. Inhabitants of this quadrant dwell in a kind of stagnation. Everyone's happy and honorable, but nothing gets done. A leader here could be described as amiable. Friendly and pleasant to be sure, but not necessarily animating.
If the top left quadrant is stagnant, the one below it is a cesspool. Both great and good are absent. The lack of force and direction withers the will and erodes the optimism of even the most stouthearted. There's no potency or point. There is none of the energy necessary to compel collective movement to an end goal. No value can be attached to a nonexistent objective. This quadrant has no direction whatsoever. Unfortunately, this describes all too many organizations — listless and fetid. There's just one moniker for this leader: vacant.
The confluence of great and not-good leadership in the bottom right quadrant is frighteningly explosive. It could combust at any minute. The sweeping force of great has no countervailing direction for good. It's an environment of excitable, concentrated participation coupled with dubiously defined purpose. The force is mighty, but the direction unprincipled. Treacherous shoals abound in these waters. Without good leadership to hold great leadership accountable, there's no telling what can happen. Maleficent, meaning capable of causing harm, describes this type of leader.
It's natural to think of leadership as running from one end to the other. To do so, though, is to mistake what great and good leadership are. They're fundamentally different. Separating them, thus upending the ever-convenient continuum, seems counterintuitive. But it's absolutely necessary for understanding the very elements that explain leadership's operation and impact. Great can be vital but destructive; good can be compassionate but impotent. The coexistence of the two is the best hope for leadership — without good we should fear. Organizations must circumnavigate the universally countervailing relationship between force and direction, lest they run aground, adrift, or worse.

IN an effort to reach out to different sectors of the economy for market expansion and penetration in the country, insurers have initiated various means to reach out to the grass roots through innovative products, micro-insurance, takaful, mobile phone to enlighten the public on the benefits of insurance.
For instance, the micro insurance committee of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) recently put together an enlightenment programme in Lagos for operators of the informal sector – market women, traders, artisans and NGOs who believe in insurance as a viable tool for mitigating losses.
According to Swiss Re, insurance penetration in Nigeria hovers around 0.5 per cent in 2008, dropped to 0.3 per cent in 2014 (post debasing); lower than the African average of 2.8 per cent (2014).
This point to the potential growth inherent in the industry with emphasis on the need for new penetration strategies to exploit these potentials. South Africa has the highest insurance density ($925) in Africa.
Stakeholders in the industry have expressed readiness to encourage partnership and alliances in the industry to deepen insurance penetration in all sectors of the economy, as the risk bearers insist, insurance is an important component of the financial system in any country which mitigates risks.
The Chairman of the NIA, GUS Wiggle, in his remarks said our aim is to bring together all stakeholders concerned with micro insurance in Nigeria with the overall objective of ensuring that both the demand side and supply side of micro insurance are brought together to create awareness for our member's micro insurance products for the informal sector of the economy.
He said "It is common knowledge that insurance culture is very low among the informal sector and it would take deliberate effort like this to win the confidence of this sector. The country diagnostic study says less than one per cent of the adult population in Nigeria have access to an insurance policy. Nigeria is among the least countries in terms of insurance contribution to GDP which is around 0,72 per cent. The Nigerian insurance sector is regarded as 'a grossly untapped opportunity' because we have not yet appealed to the informal sector which constitute over 80 per cent of our population.
According to him, the obvious way forward is through closer interaction with this sector, intensive capacity building and greater expertise in micro insurance, providing unique micro insurance services, development of people friendly products, and improved innovative distributive system.
Also, the Group Managing Director, Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, a strong advocate of grass root insurance penetration, in his view said the key to deepening insurance penetration in Nigeria is investment in grass root operation in alignment with the Market Development and Restructuring Initiative (MDRI) initiated by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) to drive grass root penetration.
He said that the company's bold investments in grass root operation, where the company has taken the lead in alignment with the commission who has taken the bold step in deepening penetration in the country.
Mutual Benefits Assurance won the best innovative insurance company in Africa award last year, Ogunbiyi said, from statistics published by the commission, we are told that less than one per cent of adult population has one form of insurance or the other. Nigeria has a population of 170 million people and adult population is about 45 per cent , we are saying that less than one per cent of adult population are actually insured. Nobody wants to invest and take insurance to the grass root, this is where we have taken the bold step to deepen insurance, close the gap and find a way of returning to the rural population where they truly need insurance.
He said commission introduced MDRI, the basic objective is to see how insurance practitioners come up with products and services that meet the needs and desire of the rural population. People in the rural areas want to buy insurance but when they cannot buy the original policy, they turn to take fake ones. The people in the rural areas know the value of insurance, that is where we have concentrated in grass root marketing. We have opened 80 new offices in the rural locations, we have taken insurance to the rural locations and keep preaching insurance saying insurance actually add values, provided for their needs and at a cost they can afford. That is why we have come up with 72 new products to meet the desire and demand of the rural population. Besides, we engage them in partnership and empowerment, work with the rural population to find out their needs, and add values to their businesses.


The SPIDER 300 enables you to pack flexible bags into cases both vertically and horizontally. The process used by this machine is as quick as it is innovative, and offers you a great deal of flexibility and versatility. Once bags exit the bag making machine, the vision guided spider robot orientates the products in the right position.
For horizontal packing, products are picked up by the spider robot and placed directly into the case. For vertical packing, the empty case is first tipped 90° in front of the cassette. The spider robot then places the bags into the cassette. Once a cassette is filled with products, an automated pusher pushes them into the case in a single movement. After returning the case into a horizontal position, the bags are positioned vertically into the case. Once the case is packed, a new empty case is automatically placed in the filling position.
This seemingly simple process is an excellent result of technical ingenuity. Every aspect of the SPIDER 300 is aimed at enabling you to maximize efficiency in your case loading process.

NEWBORN THEATRE
Playwright of the Day
Montreal Fringe Feature: The Quitter
Al Lafrance Enters the Montreal Fringe with the Pride of a Quitter Only A Comedian Could Acquire
Al Lafrance is a funny guy.
Here's what's funny to me: He might call himself a quitter but he never really seems to quit on his audience.
Aside from being a pretty visible comedian and storyteller in Montreal (we'll quasi-brag about his credits in a second), we've noticed that he's dedicated himself to writing a humorous Fringe blog for Bloody Underrated this month which is worth mentioning because it accentuates perhaps his funniest current contradiction: Though he designates himself a quitter, he's quite the hyper-actively eager beaver, and I say that admiringly.
First of all, Lafrance's stand-up repertoire includes his own show with Deanne Smith entitled Let's Do This! and some-show-amusing-evening-type-thing I would very much like to attend but I'm not sure when or how or why, an event which he calls Alcoholic Cinema wherein he just makes up drinking games to go along with movies (what? yes!). Above and beyond stand up, he's written several short stories, many of which have been read publicly including a feature on CBC's Definitely Not the Opera. To top it all off, he performs regularly with his sketch troupe Flapjack Cadillac (stay tuned for a feature on them coming up in a couple of weeks).
Ok, so, super, we have all of the above credits. I'm impressed and a little jealous, which is exactly where a writer should want another writer to stand at a distance from him. Of course, I haven't yet mentioned his current tour (a TOUR) of his first ever 60 minute self-written solo show, The Quitter. The irony of a "quitter" taking on the astonishingly daunting "I don't know if this is going to work but I have to do it because I have to do it because I just have to do it" task of writing and performing his own solo show, is sort of what makes me have to see the it at Fringe Montreal this month.
Only a great comedian could look at his losses, or whatever it is you call dropping out of college three times and quitting every job you've ever had, and say "hey man, if I did quit, it was for a good reason because listen to how remarkably strange the situation was and at least I didn't die even though I probably wanted to (laughter laughter laughter laughter)." Lafrance's actually brilliant justification of quitting (which doesn't really resemble what I just drafted but something much better, I promise) as an act of empowerment really does prove that his sense of humour is probably unbeatable.
Lafrance's exploration of playwriting both from a performer's perspective (Re: his extensive standup background) and from a writer's perspective (Lafrance has written two other shows that he hasn't starred in) gives him a unique handle on writing for the theatre, the kind where creative angles are covered both from on and off the stage.
Finally, and especially non-quitter-esque, Lafrance will absolutely refuse to quit after his FIVE CITY (that's insane, Al) tour with The Quitter. Let's not stop there, he's amalgamating a book of his short stories and working on two other solo shows which he hopes to one day bring back to the Fringe or perhaps an alternate venure: "'I'm the co-artistic director of SOLOS, Montreal's only solo theatre festival", he says, as if it's no big deal at all "- so maybe I'll end up workshopping something there later this year." We certainly hope so.
Now that we've reviewed his contribution to the performance arts in mild detail, I hope we haven't deterred you from accepting Lafrance's coveted accomplished "quitter" status. He is still willing to call himself a quitter and so we absolutely have to honour his title. Don't miss at this year's Montreal Fringe. He'll be there to make you laugh at all of his apparent life losses and probably make you laugh at whatever demise you've considered yourself to have endured in this life.
The Quitter opens on Friday June 13th in the Montreal Fringe at Montreal Improve Theatre.
Additional runs on June 15-16, 19-21.

ABC Saus Manis Sweet Sauce is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce. ABC Saus Manis Sweet Sauce is sweetened with palm sugar, this sauce is thick and dark in colour. It can be used to add great flavour to hot or cold dishes, as a condiment, or as a marinade.
ABC is the second largest-selling soy sauce brand in the world and is regarded as the leading brand in Indonesia, where it was created over 60 years ago.

Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday gave relief to small tax payers, nudged the affluent to shell out more while focusing on the rural economy with much higher fiscal outlays, as he presented India's national budget for 2016-17 in the Lok Sabha.
Jaitley reiterated a forecast that India would grow by 7.6 percent in the fiscal year that is drawing to a close.
Presenting his third budget, Jaitley described Asia's third-largest economy as a bright spot in a gloomy landscape and reiterated a forecast that it would grow by 7.6 percent in the fiscal year that is drawing to a close.
But he said the government wanted to ensure that the benefits of growth were more widely shared among India's 1.3 billion people.
He also said that people living in rented houses will be eligible for deductions of up to Rs 60,000 now – up from Rs 24,000. He also said the ceiling of tax rebate for people with income up to Rs 500,000 per annum was being raised to Rs 5,000 from the present Rs 2,000.
But for larger tax payers, he said, the income tax surcharge of 12 percent at present was being hiked to 15 percent for incomes exceeding Rs 1 crore per annum.
Suitable changes, Jaitley said, will also be made in customs and excise duty rates to push the "Make in India" programme.
Jaitley also said that the fiscal deficit target of 3.9 perecent of GDP for the current fiscal will be met, even as the target for next year has been fixed at 3.5. "Prudence lies in adhering to fiscal targets," he said.
Key areas of policy focus would be farming, social reforms, infrastructure and recapitalising India's banking system.
Here are the highlights of Jaitley's budget for the fiscal year that begins on April 1.


Take my warning for this company. Do NOT seek employment here -- esp if you are a woman. Not only does the company value men more than women (you'll see it in their pics of management/supervisory positions), even the women will try to tear you down. It's a horrible work environment. Terrible salaries, they'll low ball you with a ridiculous and insulting offer. They claim you can work from home, then never allow you to. Your manager will talk about you behind your back to your associates. Very awful, catty atmosphere.
No sabe entender a los empleados y con el salario es especimo y discriminación de género a los demas.
Friendly co-workers,simple job,easy access to each floor.
In UG2 the workers are very friendly, they pay good for the hours.There are also breaks. you can also choose to substitute people and they pay you extra. Also there is easy access for each floor (since it's tall buildings that they work for). They only pay for 6 sick days a year.
Sometimes forgets to pay for sick days.
Ask a question about working or interviewing at UG2. Our community is ready to answer.

By the end of the 1930s Aeroflot had become the world's largest airline, employing more than 4,000 pilots and 60,000 other service personnel and operating around 3,000 aircraft (of which 75% were considered obsolete by its own standards). During the Soviet era Aeroflot was synonymous with Russian civil aviation, as it was the only air carrier. It became the first airline in the world to operate sustained regular jet services on 15 September 1956 with the Tupolev Tu-104.
Every imaginable shade of blue manifests in the lagoon of Bora Bora, aka, the Jewel of the South Seas. Coral motus ring the main island like a sandy sash, and beneath the surface, dolphins, rays, sharks, turtles and colorful fish throng. Presiding over it all is the moss-green volcanic peak of Mount Otemanu, where god descended to the island on a rainbow, according to local lore. Timeless grass-skirted dancers and exotic overwater bungalows round out the sublime scene.
Wowzers! Tahiti is beautiful! The sunset just completes the picture along with tahiti's beautiful scenery! All of these destinations are extremely beautiful but my choice out of all of them would definitely be tahiti! I love tahiti because you get your own little hut to stay in! The huts are placed on top of the the bay of water and it would be so beautiful to wake up in the morning to an ocean right beside you! You'd look down and all you would see is ocean! Its so amazing how gorgeous things are! Tahiti will definitely be on my wish list of places to go in the future. Just need a little more money!
Only two airlines - Avianca and LATAM Airlines - have international subsidiaries and cover many destinations within the Americas as well as major hubs in other continents. LATAM with Chile as the central operation along with Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina and formerly with some operations in the Dominican Republic. The AviancaTACA group has control of Avianca Brazil, VIP Ecuador and a strategic alliance with AeroGal.
Another South Pacific island group (see a pattern here?), the Cook Islands are pretty far off the map. OK, not too far, but they are considerably less visited than some of their neighbors. These tiny islands are named after James Cook, the intrepid man who discovered them. With few amenities, this is the best place to find your inner castaway and escape modern life. The islands see similar weather to the rest of the area, with temperatures hot and humid all year round.
Korean Air was one of the first airlines to be launched among the other Asian countries in 1946 along with Asiana Airlines, which later joined in 1988. The license to operate as an airliner was granted by the federal government body after reviewing the necessity at the national assembly. The Hanjin occupies the largest ownership of Korean Air as well as few low-budget airlines as of now. The Korean Air is among the founders of Sky Team, which was established in 2000. Asiana Airlines joined Star Alliance in 2003. Korean Air and Asiana Airlines comprise one of the largest combined airline miles and number of passenger served at the regional market of Asian airline industry
The nearest beach is Livadi, a sort-of-resort surrounded by citrus orchards. The rest of the island is stark and wild. Treacherous tracks hurtle down to shingle bays such as Vatses, with a rocking beach bar, and Kaminakia, where Linda's farm-to-table taverna serves the best roast goat in the Dodecanese. If you really want to be alone, rent a motorboat from Maltezana, an old-time fishing village, and putter to Koutsomiti and Kounoupes, tiny islands connected by a double-sided beach. At Vathy, a lagoon where erotic graffiti was etched into the rocks 2,500 years ago, the only taverna is called Galini (Peace). Which sums up Astypalea perfectly.
Cooing American and Chinese honeymooners line up to take selfies as the sun sinks behind Santorini's caldera, the flooded volcanic crater. That view may be a romantic cliché, but it still takes your breath away. A volcanic explosion blew out Santorini's heart 3,500 years ago, leaving black-sand beaches, vertiginous cliffs in psychedelic hues, and swirling rumours about Atlantis in its wake. The eruption also preserved the ancient city of Akrotiri under layers of ash, and created fertile ground for exceptional Assyrtiko grapes and Vinsanto wines. (Sample them at Sigalas and Vassaltis wineries, paired with delicate dishes that let the grapes sing.)
In the 1990s, "open skies" agreements became more common. These agreements take many of these regulatory powers from state governments and open up international routes to further competition. Open skies agreements have met some criticism, particularly within the European Union, whose airlines would be at a comparative disadvantage with the United States' because of cabotage restrictions.
We would love your help, we are a party of four 50 plus adults from Australia and never have been too the Greek Island. We're not sure whether we should be going to naxos or paros , we are there for 4 days and not sure whether just to stay on one island and ferry to the other and if you think possible even a day trip to santorini. Our priorities are culture and history, swimming in beautiful beaches, beautiful views, nice towns, and food and drink. We're not interested in clubbing at all, but more laid-back late night bars definitely appeal. This will be our one big holiday this year as we will be celebrating my 50th birthday while there so want it too be special.
On Syros, capital of the Cyclades, you won't find sugar-cube villages and whitewashed lanes. The colourful 19th-century city of Ermoupoli is built on twin peaks – one Orthodox, the other Catholic, the heritage of a long Venetian occupation. There's still a strong Italian flavour in Ermoupoli's marble piazzas, princely mansions, and miniature replica of La Scala, the showpiece of a year-round cultural scene. Syros hosts festivals of animation, dance, digital art, film, classical music, jazz and rembetiko, the Greek blues popularised by local musician Markos Vamvakaris. A few rembetiko joints have survived in the upper town, Ano Syra.
Casting Penélope Cruz as a Greek peasant is improbable. Shooting a World War II film on an island flattened by an earthquake in 1953 sounds even crazier. And yet Captain Corelli's Mandolin put under-the-radar Kefalonia (Cephalonia) in the spotlight in 2001. The dramatic scenery still lives up to the hype: milky-white Myrtos beach, the island's pin-up; pine-fringed Horgota beach; and the giddying heights of Mount Ainos, a national park where deer and wild horses roam. Outdoor Kefalonia organises four-wheel-drive safaris, if you can't face the hairpin bends. Surprisingly, the two prettiest seaside villages - Assos and Fiskardo - didn't make the cut. But the yachting set has discovered their photogenic charm. Everyone from John Galliano to Jon Bon Jovi has jumped ashore to taste the seafood pasta at Tassia in Fiskardo, washed down with local Robola and Muscat wines. (We recommend the organic muscat from the 19th century Haritatos Estate in Lixouri, also an enchanting setting for wine tasting.) The rocky coastline around Fiskardo is deliciously pristine: go snorkelling at tiny Dafnoudi or Emblissi, flanked by slabs of limestone that turn the water electric blue.
–	Any advice on where to go after for around 5 nights? Back to Naxos (we didn't really move from the town last year unlike in Paros where we rented a car and saw the whole island)? What about Folegandros? Tinos? Milos? We would like somewhere with a nice town to walk around, upmarket, more couple less family, nice bars and things to see during the day bit also nice beaches etc?
Question: Is it worth taking the evening ferry on the 4th Sep to Crete (Heraklion) from Santorini, then the bus onto Chania so that we can do the Samaria Gorge on the 5th? Spending the full day in Chania on the 6th and taking the last flight out of Chania that night back to Athens? (or do you think this is trying to squeeze in too much in too little time)?
Aside from coral, there is a lot of history in Zlarin, dating back to the 13th century. If however, you're more about beaches and beauty, then Zlarin has it covered, and then some! The long sandy beach is ideal for families who want to run free and explore, and the green background gives you that 'castaway' feel. You won't find a lot of hotels on the island, though. Instead, there is wonderful private accommodation, which helps you get that home-away-from-home vibe to your break.
Although Germany lacked colonies, it also began expanding its services globally. In 1931, the airship Graf Zeppelin began offering regular scheduled passenger service between Germany and South America, usually every two weeks, which continued until 1937.[17] In 1936, the airship Hindenburg entered passenger service and successfully crossed the Atlantic 36 times before crashing at Lakehurst, New Jersey, on May 6, 1937.[18] In 1938, a weekly air service from Berlin to Kabul, Afghanistan, started operating.[19]
The almighty church has kept nightlife in check. If you must see and be seen, head to quietly glamorous Astivi or Stoa bar, on miniature Agia Lesvias square, in Hora. Beach life is generally languid and low-key; Psili Ammos and Livadi Geranou are our favourite hideouts. Dinner reservations are essential at Benetos, for Med-Asian fusion on an organic farm, and Lambi for grilled fish on a purple pebble beach.
