I have no real problem with Jeff and Steven's paper. It is an important survey of the dimensions of Australia's unemployment problem. When read in conjunction with Jeff's complementary 1997 survey (Borland 1997), a complete picture of the dimensions of unemployment in this country and the policy options for dealing with it emerges. I particularly like the fact that, at last, the social costs of unemployment, such as its effects on health, crime rates and so on, are being addressed in an economics survey. Isn't it amazing to see how long it has taken for an economist to address these important dimensions of unemployment; dimensions which have, for the most part, not been much addressed in the economics literature?
As the paper is a survey of the dimensions of unemployment, there is little to argue with. It essentially sets the scene for the rest of the discussion that is the business of this conference. So, I will use my time to talk about unemployment policy. I wish to discuss two questions: what determines a policy response and how does this change over time?
But before addressing these questions, I want to contrast two policy issues: unemployment and microeconomic reform. I want to look at the welfare costs and benefits of not getting unemployment down to something like full employment with the welfare benefits that may flow from microeconomic reform.
We have been saying that unemployment is a ‘serious problem’ for a long time. But it doesn't mean that a lot gets done about it. It is serious – more so than just about anything else I can think of as an economic policy imperative.
How big a problem is it? We can quickly approximate the loss of GDP due to total unemployment by a simple expression (we will deal with unemployment in excess of full-employment unemployment shortly):
Loss due to unemployment = (GDP/E) * U
where E = total employment and U = the total number of unemployed.
That is, the total dollar loss is the average product per worker multiplied by the number of unemployed workers (assuming for the moment that the average product of unemployed workers is the same as that of employed workers). Expressed as a proportion of GDP, this becomes simply:
Loss due to unemployment = U/E
Which, after some manipulation, becomes:
Loss due to unemployment = ur/
where ur is the unemployment rate.
However, we need to take into account two factors; first, the unemployment which would occur even at full employment and, second, we have to make allowances for differences in the average productivity of unemployed workers when compared with employed workers. Both of these adjustments require judgments to be made. Conceptually, however, the formula that captures these effects is easy to write. First, let ur′ be the unemployment rate in excess of the full-employment unemployment rate, so ur′ = ur−ur(fe) where ur(fe) is the unemployment rate at full employment.
From Borland and Kennedy's paper we know that the unemployed tend to be less-educated, younger workers. Their previous job (if they had one) was typically as a labourer or tradesperson in either the manufacturing, construction or the hospitality sectors. Recent immigrants are also more than proportionately represented among their number. Consequently, the average productivity of the typical unemployed worker is likely to be less than that of the average employed worker. So, let π (0<π = 1) be the adjustment factor by which the average productivity of the average employed worker needs to be adjusted to obtain the average productivity of the average unemployed worker. Therefore:
Loss due to unemployment in excess of full employment = π * ur′/
Readers may make their own judgments as to what π is in reality. I shall let π take values of 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0, so as to give a representative range of values.
What is the unemployment rate at full employment? This is virtually impossible to know. Borland and Kennedy discuss various attempts at measuring the so-called ‘natural rate’. The first point to make is that they observe that the confidence intervals around such estimates are typically very large. The second observation from their and other papers at this conference is that it would appear that the ‘natural rate’ has increased from 2 per cent in the 1970s to over 6 per cent by the early 1990s. Why has the ‘natural rate’ drifted upwards? Explanations include hysteresis, whereby the ‘natural rate’ follows the actual rate upwards (and presumably downwards) due to such factors as skill atrophy among the unemployed, state dependence and scarring, structural change brought about by globalisation and/or technological change, demographic changes and so on. The third observation is that none of this can be directly applied to the counterfactual of what would have been the unemployment rate had we had continuous full employment since the early 1970s. We simply do not know what the full-employment unemployment rate was during the years since 1970.
Nevertheless, an estimate needs to be made. I am going to follow the writers of the 1993 Green Paper Restoring Full Employment (Committee on Employment Opportunities 1993) and assume that the current full-employment unemployment rate is 5 per cent. For simplicity, I will assume that the full-employment unemployment rate has grown continuously since 1972, when it was 2 per cent. Table 1 shows the loss due to unemployment in excess of full employment under these assumptions since 1972. As a further check, I also include Mitchell and Watts' (1997) estimates expressed as a percentage of GDP. Their estimates are derived from calculating the number of potential workers available for work above a constant 2 per cent unemployment rate and calculating a ‘GDP bonus’ if each of these workers were employed. Their estimates are considerably greater than mine.

The numbers are striking in their magnitude. Even under the most pessimistic (and almost certainly unrealistically low) estimates of the productivity of unemployed workers, the welfare losses due to unemployment are enormous. Australia at a minimum has lost well over 1.5 per cent of GDP per year for the past twenty years because it has not implemented policies which would have resulted in full employment. Much more likely is a welfare loss which averaged over 3 per cent of GDP every year for over 20 years. Australia has essentially given away one whole year's worth of its real GDP over the past two decades or so because it has not been willing to implement policies which would have generated full employment.[1]
Now I would like to contrast these welfare losses with the welfare gains that are alleged to flow from ‘microeconomic reform’. It would not be an exaggeration to suggest the microeconomic reform agenda has come to dominate economic policy in this country.
The recent obvious heavy involvement of the Commonwealth Government in the dispute following the replacement of Maritime Union of Australia members with non-union labour on the Australian waterfront by the Patricks Stevedoring company is but one (of many) examples of the priority which is currently being placed on the microeconomic reform agenda. The examples are myriad – the (partial?) sale of Telstra, the almost daily reports of privatisation of virtually all of the Federal Government's Department of Administrative Services functions (the government car fleet, asset services, construction services, architecture and interior design functions and so on), the corporatisation, and in many cases, the privatisation of state electricity, gas and water authorities, the privatisation of many of the capital cities' public transport services, inquiries into just about every state statutory marketing authority, and so on, indicate that the major focus of government (federal and states) economic policy is the ‘microeconomic reform agenda’. It almost goes without saying that unemployment has virtually disappeared as a major focus of economic policy, let alone the primary focus.
Microeconomic reform can mean many things. However, following the Industry Commission's brief to analyse the effects of ‘Hilmer and related reforms’ on economic growth and the fiscal position of the federal and state governments (which resulted in the Industry Commission's 1995 Report), microeconomic reform has been interpreted very broadly as those reforms which focus on competition policy and which are derived from the Hilmer Report (Hilmer, Rayner and Taperell 1993). These ‘Hilmer and related reforms’ comprise reform of Telstra, Australia Post, the Federal Airports Corporation, the Civil Aviation Authority, rail, road and port authorities, state electricity, gas and water authorities, the competitive tendering for the provision of public services, deregulation of the building industry and the move to self-regulation of many other industries.
The estimates of the welfare gains that would allegedly flow from the implementation of this microeconomic reform agenda range from about 5.5 per cent of GDP (Industry Commission 1995) to, at most, about one per cent of GDP (Quiggin 1997). Quiggin subjects the assumptions and calculations of the IC estimates to close scrutiny. His much lower estimate of the gains from the reform agenda results from his finding that most of the IC estimates of productivity gains that would come from reform are over-optimistic due to the use of inappropriate benchmarks and inappropriate assumptions about productivity growth, and therefore represent upper bounds rather than most likely outcomes. Further, he observes that many of the workers displaced from employment by the reform agenda will not be entirely absorbed elsewhere in the economy in equivalent jobs, but at least some of them will be permanently displaced from employment and others will almost certainly move into jobs which require fewer skills, both of which imply a semi-permanent shift in the effective supply of labour (Quiggin 1997). We should not lose sight of the fact that much of the reform agenda is about reducing employment in the public sector.
In summary, it is apparent that the gains in terms of additional GDP from microeconomic reform are at most comparable with the losses in GDP that have resulted from 25 years of less than full employment and are probably considerably less in magnitude, yet microeconomic reform dominates the policy agenda.
So the question is, why is it that microeconomic reform has come to dominate the policy attention of governments and unemployment has slipped very much into the background? Indeed, not only is unemployment not at the forefront of policy concerns, expenditure on active labour market programs to shift the unemployed, particularly the long-term unemployed, into employment has been savagely slashed.[2]
This question gives rise to several further questions. Whose preferences does this shift in policy focus represent? Have these preferences changed over time? If so, why? How are community preferences about the role of government ascertained by government and its agencies and how are these translated into policy priorities?
We know very little about whose preferences affect unemployment policy (or any policy, for that matter). This is a blind spot for the economics profession as far as I can see. We have some notion that policy preferences are revealed through the political process. We also understand that political parties spend a lot of time and effort (and money) surveying public opinion in various ways – marginal seats, various demographic groups and so on. But, surely it is naive to believe that there is a one-to-one correspondence between public preferences about such matters as the quantity and type of public goods and services required, the direction of macroeconomic policy concerning unemployment (which is a form of public good) and the public policy which results.
Even a passing acquaintance with public-choice theory (even if as only revealed through re-runs of Yes Minister/Prime Minister) tell us that the general public's preferences are only very inadequately revealed through the ballot box.
A few years ago Michael Pusey addressed this issue (Pusey 1991). His answer? Economists with a predisposition for economic liberalism or economic rationalism, as it is known in this country.[3] Following a tradition in political sociology that dates at least from Weber and which received its most influential articulation in this country in the work of Sol Encel (Encel 1970), Pusey argues that the top echelons of the Commonwealth public service not only work closely with ministers in the implementation of policy, but are the brokers of interests and the articulators of national ideals and goals and, as such, contribute greatly to the formulation of policy. This process works in parallel with, but also transcends, the formal democratic process in a way which is captured so brilliantly in the BBC television model of Sir Humphrey and Jim Hacker.
In addition, Pusey argues that these influential public servants, particularly those concentrated in the key economic bureaucracies such as the Treasury, Prime Minister and Cabinet and Finance, are drawn from similar socioeconomic backgrounds (no prizes for guessing where!), are predominantly trained in economics and as a result, are deeply steeped in the ideology of liberal economic thought/economic rationalism. It is this latter attribute that results from the largely neoclassical economics education that they have received, which differentiates the current top echelons of the Commonwealth bureaucracy from their predecessors, such as H.C. Coombs who espoused a far more catholic set of economic principles, including very healthy doses of Keynesianism.[4]
Like Marx's caricature of Nassau Senior, this analysis was seen to be altogether too simplistic by the economics profession. (See, for example, Dick Blandy's trenchant review in the Australian Quarterly (Blandy 1992)). Nevertheless, Pusey's work did prick a nerve in the Australian economics profession.
In all honesty, I don't think we know precisely (or even imprecisely) how policy preferences are formed and behave over time, especially in the realms where preferences do matter – the demand for public goods, the degree of macroeconomic intervention required to better satisfy the need for economic certainty of the average person, the need for economic regulation to protect the average person from the exercise of monopoly economic power. But one thing is for sure, economists have not been very interested in finding out!.[5] I make several observations:
We don't ask people about policy preferences (and even if we did, we probably wouldn't believe the answers, would we?).
We don't pay much attention to political scientists/sociologists when they worry about policy preferences and whose preferences are paramount.
We rarely study policy formation except in a rudimentary way (usually using public-choice theory or game theory).
Do preferences for what we want governments to do change over time? This could be crucial. (We can get pathological policy responses where people become immune to monstrous acts by governments, as for example in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.) Have we become immune to unemployment?[6] Once Australian governments would either lose office or come very close to it for very small increases in unemployment (for example, Menzies in 1961, McMahon in 1972, Whitlam in 1975 and Fraser in 1983). Not any more.
It is my belief that we need to understand much more about people's attitudes towards the role of government in economic activity, how these attitudes do (and don't) influence policy and whether they change over time. In order to do this, as a first step, we need to know what are people's preferences about the role of government. To use what is now a hopelessly old-fashioned concept, just what is the desired mix between public and private activity in the ‘Mixed Economy?’.
However to answer these questions, I believe that we have to stray a long way from the economist's usual tool kit, so I end with an epistemological plea. Economists, I believe, have to broaden their tool kit. I am rapidly coming to the conviction that to understand the nature of community's preferences about the role of government, we need to explore qualitative research methods, using focus groups, semi-structured interviews and the like. It is only by using these methods that complex attitudes, opinions and the strength of opinion can be ascertained. A person's attitude towards the role of the state in his or her life, his or her attitudes towards fairness and equity, his or her attitudes towards private versus public expenditure, taxation and the like, cannot simply be inferred from the type of data sets which economists typically work with, using the methods usually directed at these data sets. Additionally, I believe that it is necessary to go beyond the use of sample surveys. These simply are not rich enough to explore the depth of beliefs, the subtleties lying behind them and so on, not to mention the practical difficulties of (usually) high non-response rates, non-response bias and the like.[7]
The use of qualitative research methods is a radical jump in economic methodology, but not a new one, nor one which I am alone in suggesting. Indeed, a far more impressive economist than myself has cogently argued for the use of this methodology in respect of understanding more about unemployment and labour markets (see Bewley 1996).
So, what are the issues which I believe ought to be addressed if we are to understand whose preferences are dominating economic policy formation? It is my hypothesis that the general public is much more sympathetic to a traditional Keynesian response to unemployment, that the shift in policy to ‘microeconomic reform’ does not reflect the attitudes of the general public towards the desired role of government, that the preference for the ‘Mixed Economy’ is not some artefact of the past.
I would like, therefore, to explore community attitudes towards the following issues:
the provision of traditional government infrastructures such as roads, ports, airports, energy and water utilities and the like;
the role of government in the provision of essential services, for example, in police, law and order and the like;
the role of government in the provision of health care and the mix between public and private provision;
the role of government in the provision of educational services at primary, secondary and tertiary levels and the mix between public and private schools and universities;
the role of government in the provision of the arts and cultural services;
the role of government in planning, zoning and regulating;
issues of the privatisation of public goods and services (electricity, gas, water, public transport etc.);
the mix between the public and private sector in banking and other business enterprises where government has often played a role; and
the taxation system and the tax mix and possible alternatives (such as a GST).
I would like to know about the match between different opinions and socioeconomic circumstances. I would like to know whose preferences affect policy-makers (both elected and non-elected). More ambitiously, perhaps, I would like to know whether preferences in these matters have changed over time, and if so, how.
This is an ambitious research program, but one which I think is essential. To repeat the obvious point that I commenced with: current policy priorities are directed at achieving welfare gains that are, in all probability, only a fraction of what could be achieved if the priorities of policy-makers were, once again, primarily directed at reducing unemployment. As a famous aphorism states, it takes a lot of Harberger triangles to fit an Okun gap.[8] Surely it is incumbent upon the economics profession to find out a little more why policy priorities have become so oblivious of relative costs and benefits. Whose interests are being served by this obliviousness?
Unlike most commentators, I believe that we do have a solution to unemployment (Kenyon 1997). It is not in any way an original solution. Keynes wrote extensively about it in the 1930s and Keynesian policies seemed to work for three decades in the post World War 2 era. One might speculate on the welfare loss due to the macroeconomic intellectual vacuum in economics that has resulted from the demise of Keynesian economics as an operational stabilisation policy package. The reason why the problem is difficult is that the solution is a political decision about fairness and equity as much as it is an economic decision about economic efficiency. [1]
In the 1996–97 Budget, expenditure on labour market programs was reduced by $575 million and by further cuts of $956 million in 1997–98, with still further cuts of $130 million and $175 million scheduled for 1998–99 and 1999–00 (see Budget Statements 1996–97, Budget Paper No. 1, Table 4). [2]
For a discussion of the revival of economic liberalism across the OECD, see Henderson (1995). [3]
For a very detailed analysis of the transition in the ‘Treasury Line’ from eclectic Keynesianism to a more neoclassical bent, see Whitwell (1986). Incidentally, it was Coombs who, I believe, engineered the purchase of the site for the building in which this conference is being held. Presumably this reflected, in part, his concept of public goods. [4]
Of course, in the sphere of private goods that are allocated by and large by competitive markets, there is a tradition in economics which essentially ignores preference formation. And for good reason – preferences are revealed by behavioural responses to changing relative prices and incomes. Of course, for the greater part of publicly produced goods and services, there is no adequate preference revelation mechanism. I submit that this is a fundamental weakness in economists' assessment of the demand for government-produced goods and services and in many areas of the setting of priorities for public economic policy. [5]
Adrian Pagan commented to me during the conference that one possibility is that we have become exhausted by the issue of unemployment. It is simply too hard to deal with, and so policy priorities have moved to areas where policy can be more effective. But whose preferences have dictated this shift? [6]
See the Appendix to Mackay (1997) for a clear argument in favour of qualitative research methods for social science research of the type suggested here. [7]
This wonderful piece of wisdom has been attributed to James Tobin. I thank Bill Mitchell for reminding me of it. But alas, I have been unable to track down the source! [8]

The general discussion was centred on two main issues:
the apparently greater attention paid by public policy-makers to microeconomic reform than to the reduction of unemployment; and
whether hysteresis exists in the unemployment rate.
It was argued that policy-makers have been more concerned about microeconomic reform than addressing unemployment. Why has micro reform had greater prominence in public policy debate? The welfare gains of microeconomic reform, expressed in terms of per cent per annum contributions to economic growth, are estimated to be between 1 per cent and 5 per cent. In contrast, GDP growth lost per year through unemployment is likely to be considerably higher. Some argued that this raises important questions about whose preferences influence the policy process and why. Others suggested that the public might have become immune to policy failure with respect to reducing unemployment, so that the persistence of high unemployment rates becomes tolerated. This, in turn, influences public choice (or acceptance) of microeconomic reform policies for which, at the level of an enterprise or industry, some unambiguous measure of success can usually be identified.
The efficacy of particular policies for the reduction of unemployment will, however, depend on whether there is hysteresis in unemployment. Here, there was much debate about whether the efficiency of labour markets had deteriorated in a structural sense. In their paper, Borland and Kennedy argued that there was no clear evidence of hysteresis in the period since the early 1980s, either in terms of a shift in the ratio of long-term unemployed to total unemployment or a tendency for regional unemployment rates to increase with the aggregate unemployment rate. However, this was questioned by a number of participants. Some appealed to estimates of the upward drift in the natural unemployment rate. Others appealed to estimates of the Beveridge curve; even simple Beveridge curves have shifted outward, as have sophisticated versions which map the increase in the unemployment rate for an equilibrium rate of vacancies. Some participants countered that while these shifts can be observed, it is not clear that they are statistically significant for any period since the 1970s.
Given the possibility of hysteresis in unemployment, some argued that the profession needs to offer a clearer exposition of the determinants of the NAIRU, rather than simply attributing it to a one-off increase in the level of real wages that occurred in the 1970s. Indeed, with this lack of exposition by the profession, it is unsurprising that politicians fail to commit to a target for unemployment. Such lack of commitment, in turn, conditions the public's preferences and their influence on the policy process.
Finally, it was noted that Borland and Kennedy's paper was arguably the first review article conducted by an economist that paid attention to the social costs of unemployment. This was generally applauded. However, some participants noted that solutions to unemployment, particularly those involving further increases in wage dispersion, also have social costs. Thus, in contemplating solutions to unemployment, one needs to consider both the social costs of unemployment and the social implications of any solution to it.

In general, Mexico has better access to contraceptives like IUDs for post-partum women. That’s because in the 1980s, the country started offering them at no cost as part of its family planning program, but when these women came to the U.S.., access became a problem. Mostly, IUDs all of a sudden became a lot more expensive.

Newborn Baby > BLOGPOST > How to help reduce the risk of stillbirth
Whilst many people are aware of the issue of stillbirth, a survey hasrisk.
1. Go to sleep on your side after 28 weeks of pregnancy
Research shows that sleeping on your side instead of on your back after 28 weeks can halve the risk of stillbirth. After 28 weeks, sleeping on your back compresses major blood vessels and reduces the supply of blood to your womb, and oxygen to your baby.
It doesn’t matter if you sleep on your left or your right side, whichever you find more comfortable. If you wake again. Read more on how h here.
2. Be aware of your baby’s movements
There is no set number or type of movements, so you should get to know your own baby’s unique pattern of movements. If you do notice any changes or differences Read how to get to know your baby’s movements here.

We extended our study of the genetic diversity of cassava landraces, using microsatellites,cassava landraces from five countries in South America, three in Central America, and four in Africa; and also to African cassava genotypes resistant to cassava mosaic disease (CMD). Analysis showed substantial genetic diversity in CMD resistance, with appropriate germplasm available for the genetic improvement of CMD resistance, as well as other traits, particularly yield. The study of genetic diversity in Tanzania, Nigeria, Uganda and Ghana revealed a broad and unique diversity of local land races that can serve as the basis for a breeding program.
The above results have been placed on the The Cassava Molecular Diversity Network (MOLCAS) Web Site and are available to the Cassava Community.

I have no preferences for what computer I use. Luckily, I'm not a gamer, so graphics performance is not a concern for me. Any computer with an internet connection that can compile a program and that won't freeze when opening a program is good enough.
I find the three-monitor setup to be very effective, since I can place my code on one screen, the code transpiler and test output (and maybe database access) on a second one, and documentation and other references on a third. A single laptop monitor is difficult to work with.
When I'm at home or at work, I use a Kinesis Freestyle 2 keyboard with the 20" joining cable and the VIP3 lifters. Since I fidget a lot, this lets me keep my hands and wrists in a comfortable position at all times. It still doesn't guarantee me pain-free typing, but it gives me flexibility as I learn more about ergonomics. Sometimes I put the mouse in between the two halves of my keyboard. Sometimes I put a drink or my food there.
I have no preference for mouse, as long as it works properly.
On some occasions, I listen to music or other things as I work, but this is more because it's too noisy or too quiet in my environment.
If I have access to an adjustable standing desk, I would stand for parts of my work day.
If I'm at home and need to video chat, I use my Blue Yeti microphone
On my work computer, I use Linux Mint. It has all the benefits of Ubuntu, without any bloat/spyware, and with a good interface and good features.
For my personal laptop, I'm using Ubuntu Gnome. This is a recent experiment, since I'm looking for a linux distro that has good touchscreen support and a good mouse-or-keyboard-or-touchscreen interface. Ubuntu Gnome seems to fit the bill. I used to use the Windows 8/10 that it came with (for the touchscreen reason), but I am firmly in the Linux camp when it comes to doing anything useful.
From time to time, I try out other distros (in a VirtualBox) for fun.
In the absence of a touchscreen (which is most of the time for me), I use xmonad as my window manager. It efficiently uses all the space on the screen, can be customized to taste, and allows for rapid navigation via the keyboard. It removes (most of) the frustrations from the GUI. And it looks cool.
Xmonad does not come with a toolbar by default, so I use dzen2 in combination with conky. I customized mine to show me the virtual workspaces, the cpu/memory usage, the volume, and the date/time. I also use trayer for applications and widgets that use the system tray.
For most of my web browsing, I use chromium. I will use any browser that has omnibar-style shortcuts and a "private" or "incognito" feature that can be activated by default (via settings or command-line option). I use a plugin that adds vim-style bindings to navigate through the tabs. Browsers that fit these criteria include chromium, luakit, and even elinks (the text-based browser).
For browsing at nighttime, I use a high contrast plugin so as not to destroy my eyes.
I open facebook and email in a separate browser from my "surfing" browser (such as Firefox, Opera, Chrome Canary, or any freshly opened browser), since I want to reduce/minimize Facebook or Google or any other company's ability to track my browsing. If there was an easy way to do so, I would open every website and every tab with an isolated browser session.
I use duckduckgo.com for internet searching. If I use Google, I never search while logged in to a Google account.
I'm trying to use tor more often, but the tor browser is based off of firefox, and firefox does not have omnibar-style shortcuts (though it is otherwise a great browser). Also, many websites (especially those that use Cloudflare) ask tor browser users to solve a CAPTCHA to access the site, which is a big bummer. I also sometimes use tor in combination with elinks.
I use TinyTinyRSS, a reader service, which pulls the newest articles from (now 100s of) blogs, podcasts, etc. and presents them for me when I have time to read (which is not often!).
I don't have a YouTube account, nor do I go on YouTube while logged in to a Google account. I wrote a simple website/chrome plugin to manage a list of all the YouTube channels I frequent. This service also periodically checks for new videos and highlights those channels for me.
I use vim. It has a slightly steep learning curve, but once you get used to the basics, there's no going back. I learned it in university, and have been using it ever since. After 25 years since its first release, vim is still a worthy competitor to every other text/code editor. It's highly extensible, and it satisfies my obsession with minimalism. It's also useful to know how to use it, since I maintain various servers remotely.
I use vim-plug to install a small number of plugins. I have several preferences and keyboard shortcuts in a configuration file.
With the exception of the web browser, I spend most of my time in the command line terminal. I use bash in gnome-terminal. This is what came bundled with the OS, and it's visually appealing enough. I like changing the font or the colour scheme now and again. One day, I'll try a different terminal.
Because I use the command line heavily, there really is only one option here: ssh. It is efficient, ubiquitous, and elegant. I used to use VNC and similar things when I was a kid, but now I find those solutions clunky and childish. I only use it when maintaining a virtual machine with a GUI at a distance, which is almost never. I use ssh keys and a config file to easily move from computer to computer. Were it not for subtle variations in command line prompts (which I set), I might often forget which computer I'm using!
I have a growing army of Raspberry Pis (ha ha, only 3 so far) which serve as my test platforms, server hosts, and file storage/backups. They are cheap and versatile. I am interested in and prefer distributed solutions to many computer/internet problems, so I favour many small computers over one big one. I have learned a lot about computer networks, automation, and other things by tinkering with them.
I don't trust the cloud very much. If I can migrate an online service to a self-hosted alternative without monumental effort, I will do it.
I still have and use the first web host I got when I was a kid, at 1and1.com. They offer very little that I need at my price point (such as ssh access or an automated DNS API), but I've never taken the time to switch over my domain name, email, and php hosting to something else.
When I have the time (and money ($5+ per month)), I will try out a virtual hosting service, such as digitalocean.com or vultr.com.
For code hosting, I use GitLab. I host it on one of my server computers, and it suits my needs. In many ways, I prefer GitLab (both the company and the product) over GitHub.
I have a GitHub account, which I use to collaborate with others on open-source projects (which doesn't happen as often as I'd like).
Right now, I'm using syncthing to synchronize my files between devices. It's a self-hosted option, it encrypts file in transit, and it's easy to configure. It's pretty seemless. Unlike Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive, etc. it doesn't require a single sync folder by default, it's limited in size only by the hard drives you attach to your server, and you don't have to trust your files to some company. Overall, I believe my self-hosted solution is cheaper, but requires more work, and lacks guarantees. I find the trade-off acceptable.
In the summer of 2016, after many years of using a dumb phone (a Samsung Stunt), I finally bought a smartphone - a Nokia Lumia 930. Honestly, I chose this model mainly because of its shape, the pretty interface, and the high-quality camera.
With the impending death of the Ubuntu Phone, there is currently little hope of having a smartphone that doesn't track you. I am searching for alternatives that will satisfy my mobile device needs, namely: surfing the web, taking pictures, making calls, and occasionally navigating with GPS. One idea that came to mind was to have a small linux tablet paired with a dumb phone; but I haven't seriously looked into it. It would also be nice if I could code while on the go (like in the metro), but that's more in the realm of laptops.


Ed’s first big trip to Asia was backpacking in Thailand in 2006: "I’d heard so much about it and it didn’t disappoint! Incredible food, great beaches, mad cities and wonderful people... I didn’t want to leave!"
Cambodia was another major highlight of his travels. "Everything just feels so genuine - this probably won’t last forever, so go as soon as you can. The temple complexes are truly staggering and each one is different. Make sure you have spare batteries for your camera!"
"Eric Cantona! We would have time to think, to work....to breathe. And I could ask him about those seagulls."

Francis Schaeffer is one of the most solid writers I have ever read. While his pieces are pithy and quick, they hammer home and convict the soul.

Christ answering the question what is the greatest commandment, takes a turn and repliChurch is to be a loving church to a dying culture. How then, is the dying culture to consider us? In the midst of the world, in the midst of a dying culture, Jesus is giving a right to the culture. again Christians on the basis of this observable love toward all Christians.Later there is a final apologetic on Christ's high priestly prayer, "that they may be one, just as you, fat

On Trump win.
The “unexpected US election outcome”, in which Trump triumphed over Hillary Clinton in November, cost the bookmaker £5m as it paid out to punters who backed him for the White House.
The impact was exacerbated by the group’s decision to pay out £800,000 to gamblers who backed Hillary Clinton even before the polls closed, on the assumption that the Democrat candidate would win.
5m is still probably small(ish) change for them, and there was a few plugs on the US news networks when the early payout was announced, St.Stephens/Boxing Day pl football probably made a bit of dent too.
Still, with politics (e.g. Brexit) it's often better to listen to your own reasonable logic and conclusions. Rather than pay any attention to the vast majority of pollsters, 'experts' and (often biased) media-backed number cruncher's.
When I added @9 to the bet-slip, the charts were still backing the 86% HC win dogma.
It also reported a £28m benefit from the translation of non-UK revenue due to the weakness of the British pound.
In today's results statement, Paddy Power Betfair said it by 25% to £404m.
The bookies never loses they always get it back in the end.
€5m is not small change to them. Had a look at paddy powers financial statements a couple of years ago. Profit for the year was about €40m.
Don't know what year you were looking at but in 2015 they made an operating profit of €180 million so €5 milion is small change in the grand scheme of things.
Simple example would be them advertising how much they lost paying out on Leicester last year. They of course fail to mention that they took in much more than that on the rest of the market. It was probably one of their most profitably years for that market.

ESMO, as a platform, is known for its quality of sessions and its facilitation of in-depth discussion on key emerging topics. This is probably the reason why one finds large number of Asians attending ESMO meetings, though ESMO is a primarily European organization. The sheer strength of ESMO’s Asian connection can be understood by the fact that about a quarter of ESMO members are from the Asian region (Ref 1). Prof Ralph Stahel, current president of ESMO, mentioned, in the opening ceremony, that about half of the ESMO-ASIA organizing committee was represented by the Asians (Ref 2).
Oncology practice has a number of commonalities across the world, but it must not be lost on us that there are several region-specific differences as well. For example – an East Asian adenocarcinoma lung cancer patient has higher likelihood of harbouring EGFR mutation when compared to his/her Caucasian counterpart.
To discuss these Asia-centric issues, there are country-specific oncology societies – like CSCO, ISMPO, JSMO, KACO, MOGA, SSO – as well as a pan-Asian oncology society by the name of ACOS. However, there exists a need for an international platform where ‘West’ would meet ‘East’ to discuss issues pertaining to ‘East’.
About 2,200 professionals attended ESMO-ASIA and, notably, though the demographic was predominantly Asian, there were several participants from Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe.
Dedicated sessions for cancers more prevalent in Asia: The cancers which have lower incidence in Western population compared to Asian population are often ‘neglected’ in international conferences organized in US and Europe. ESMO-ASIA, due to its Asia-centric theme, was successful in highlighting these indications. A case in point is the special symposium organized on Nasopharyngeal cancer (Ref 3). Similarly, there were multiple presentations and sessions to discuss oesophageal, gastric and cervical cancers which are mostly Asia-centric.
Special session on Geriatric Oncology: One element which often does not get highlighted in many international conferences is the fact that the Asian population age at a faster rate when compared to the Western population. Thus, there is a need to increase awareness among Asian oncologists on how to deal with this evolving situation.
ESMO, in collaboration with SIOG, conducted a dedicated session on geriatric oncology, which served as the stage for sharing best practices/ideas among Asian oncologists (Ref 4). The point which clearly emerged from the panel discussion (from Singapore, Korea and Australia) was the important role of a proper geriatric assessment tool as a treatment aid in determining therapeutic options for elderly patients. The presented data also glaringly pointed towards lack of geriatric oncologists and the pressing need of a multidisciplinary approach to treat elderly oncology patients.
Clinical benefit comparison via Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale (MCBS)5, 6: Similar to ASCO’s value framework and MSKCC’s DrugAbacus, ESMO has developed a clinical benefit comparison tool – MCBS – data from which was presented to explain its utility (Ref 5,6).
At a time when more and more premium targeted therapies are replacing existing treatment options, this session gave Asian oncologists a clear view of the utility of MCBS in their daily practice.
As there is a relative lack of strong public policy institutions in many Asian countries, one can imagine the huge benefit this tool can provide if ESMO evolves this framework to include cost and provides country-specific cost-effectiveness data to oncologists. However, we are aware of the inherent complexity (bordering on impracticality, sometimes) in such an initiative.
DrugCancer drug availability data presented by Dr Alexandru Eniu, the Chair of ESMO’s Emerging Nations Committee, pointed out the extent of non-availability of and limited access to novel lung cancer treatments, like crizotinib and afatinib, in Asia when compared to West (Ref 5,7).
Another interesting fact highlighted by Dr Eniu was that even in the developed EU region, there is lack of availability of cheaper, generic drugs listed in WHO, like tamoxifen, cisplatin, etc. A more shocking revelation was that this non-availability is not because of cost issues but due to drug shortages.
Overall, from the Asian perspective, ESMO-ASIA 2015 was a great platform for networking and exchanging ideas on issues of interest to the Asian community. ESMO should definitely be congratulated for this effort.

Il doppio del torneo di tennis OportoCristian Brandi e Stephen Noteboom 7-5, 6-4.
 Cristian Brandi /  Stephen Noteboom (finale)
 Joan Balcells /  Martín Rodríguez (primo turno)


Q: Checkbox on mousedown, uncheck on mouseup I am making jQuery application where there is a checkbox that is checked only when the mouse/key/touch is pressed. Check on mousedown, uncheck on mouseup.
  var cb = $("input");
    .on("mousedown keydown", function(event) {
      cb.prop("checked", true);
    .on("mouseup keyup", function(event) {
      cb.prop("checked", false);
<input type=checkbox autofocus>
A: The issue is because the click event fires when mouseup is released on the checkbox and this forces the checked property to true. To fix this hook an event handler to the click and simply call preventDefault() on it.
Also note that you can provide an object to on() which is keyed by the event names you want to hook to, instead of calling on() multiple times:
  var $cb = $("input");
  $cb.on({
    "mousedown keydown": function(e) {
      $cb.prop("checked", true);
    "mouseup keyup": function(e) {
      $cb.prop("checked", false);
Either will work, it just depends on the behaviour you want to have with regard to suppressing the click event


Each week, players will draw for a random team and position. This is a great league for curlers of any level to get to know new people and gain experience playing the different positions on a curling team. We usually head out to brunch afterwards. These leagues last 4 weeks.
Each team in this league will play against each other team at least once; if the schedule allows, top seeded teams may face off in playoffs and a championship game. There are typically three of these per season; Fall, Winter, and Spring. These leagues last 8-10 weeks.

I can live without football. Hush! I do not need a weekly fix of 22 men in shorts kicking hell out of a ball. I try to make a point, though, of watching televised footie on Saturday nights because my husband looks forward to it so much. I fire up the laptop and sit checking my e mails, while he snorts and gasps and exclaims, and Messrs Lineker, Hansen, Lawrenson, Shearer et al dissect the finer points of each game. He doesn’t have a favourite team as such, so this is not the agony it might be with a certain other family of my acquaintance, whose rabid allegiance it is not wise to question.
National: F A Cup competitions: We’d like to see any small lowly club beat any big one.
Thinking about all this has made me realise that I have other, smaller, fragmentations in my own support. Raised as an Everton fan, I really want to see the “Toffees” win a Merseyside Derby / Premiership / F A Cup, but I have to admit that one of the best things David Moyes did was to sell Rooney to Manchester United. My brother, who has a season ticket to Goodison Park, would never admit that any other club could offer any excitement, but Liverpool’s Gerrard sprinting through the midfield or taking a penalty does it for me just as much as EFC’s Johnson heading for goal or Man U’s Ronaldo dancing contemptuously with the ball round the opposing defence. Like I said, I’m impartial.
The number one niggle, though, is the quantity of foreign players in the top English teams. At least Liverpool and Everton are captained by self-controlled, gloveless, proper Northern lads.
It’s Everton, though, that has the motto to end all mottoes: Nil Satis Nisi Optimum. Nothing is good enough unless it is the best.
Darts as a sport?
I heard an interview with a high ranked darts player on the radio. I have to say the interviewer did a good job of finding questions to ask, but the replies were possibly the most boring I’ve heard this year – the player hardly able to expand any of his monosyllabic replies. The nearest he got to any kind of reasoning was to say that darts was a sport, and if anyone thought it wasn’t, they had to take into account “all that walking”.
From the oche to the board to collect the darts after each turn. Wow. That’s 7 feet 9¼ inches. AND BACK.
That must be what keeps darts players so lithe and fit, is it?

That’s all I mainly have going on for 2019 (all the CA ones and Reno).
I’ve been plotting the GSSF data of those that shoot faster than me and to measure my next performance goals. You all are in that data set.
You should also look at Tucson, AZ (around October) they had a decent turnout of Masters this year. Not quite the 10 needed for a Performance gun in each division, but better then past years.
Crunching the data can certainly tell you a lotversions of both 52G, and M and the different versions can change the performance times quite a bit. For example, in Azusa they run 52G V2, and the first couple of years it went out to 25yds, but the last couple of years they've brought it in to 20yds to help the stage flow a little better, but it also makes the courses that much easier.


In 1994, in what some would say was a state of madness, we shocked friends, neighbours and relations when we purchased the French Pass quarry which consisted of four acres of gorse, broom, blackberry and every other noxious weed available, plus a large gully.
Our environmentally friendly rammed earth home nestles securely in it’s surrounding gardens which grow like topsy making it appear that it has been here a lot longer than it actually has and we use a lot of recycled equipment which also helps to give the appearance of an older garden adding to the wonderful feeling of peace and tranquillity.

Colonoscopy: Pardon the Intrusion
Middle age is a pain. You can hardly turn around without being reminded of it. The only defense is humor. ...
Posted Saturday October 23, 2010
When I turned fifty, my doctor was obliged to threaten me with a colonoscopy. Such things are required after a certain age, presumably by insurance companies, to make us avoid doctors, and ultimately lower medical costs. I had no complaints; but the procedure was recommended anyway. I figured this was my doctor’s revenge for all of those times I ignored him when he told me to lose weight.
The real reason for this, I suspect, is to begin the acclimatization process, by which I will be made used rapidly approaching golden years.
Even so, I balked and evaded. This is apparently not uncommon. My doctor was prepared with a series of counter arguments. I told him I didn’t have the time, couldn’t get off work, and couldn’t get a ride to the hospital. A ride is required because of the drugs given during the procedure. I was advised that I could go in on a Saturday afternoon, and the hospital could send a van to pick me up. With my back protectively to the wall, there was nothing else I could say. The colonoscopy was unavoidable - It seemed I was to be stuck with it.
For preparation, I had been given a choice between a laxative or an enema – some choice. A few days before I was to show up, I was sent a package containing a couple of containers of what was purportedly laxative. This is an obvious misnomer, as there is no laxity related to their use. It was, in truth, one of the most un-relaxed nights of my life. Apparently the packages were mislabeled. They contained what could only have been explosives.
The liquid was to be mixed with water, and the entire contents swallowed. It was nasty noxious stuff, which made me gag. If you imagine a raw egg white, mixed with salt water, you have a pretty good idea of what this stuff was like. I wondered what could possibly be nastier than drinking this horrible stuff. I was soon to get my answer.
This ghastly substance is designed so that it will not remain in your body for long. However, for a while there was some doubt on my part, as to what the portal of egress might be. There was a really good chance that it was going to come out the same way it went in., and kept coming out.
I considered moving my television into the bathroom, and perhaps sleeping in the tub. You are warned not to eat the night before; but who could even consider eating under such circumstances? With so much to look forward to the next day, sleep was difficult.
I greeted the day, showering well, and making certain that I wore clean underwear – not that it would matter for long. Anyway, they would not be looking at my underwear. A van picked me up. The driver was far too cheerful. I wanted to tell him to keep quiet; but thought better of it. Prudence dictated that it would be better to remain on his good side, or he might take me to someplace even worse.
During the procedure, unaccustomed things are done to a part of your body which is rarely made the center of attention. Apparently this involves a garden hose with a camera attached. In the words of James T Kirk, they go where no man has gone before – though hopefully not for the same reasons or the same length of time.
I was wheeled into a room, which was perhaps the lobby. Had they brought me to the wrong place? It was brightly lit, and full of people. I had imagined a little private room with one guy; but no. This was it. I was the only guy in the room, with about eight women, including the doctor. Still, while undergoing a colonoscopy, it is best to go with the flow. At least I didn’t have to put my feet in stirrups. At any rate they were not interested in romance, or at least I hoped not. To them I was just another --- well let’s say subject.
The doctor asked me if I had any questions, before they started. I could only think of one: “Was this your first career choice, or were all of the cardiology classes full?” I am not certain which answer would have been more of a comfort. I never should have teased the doctor. She was probably tired of putting up with people’s crap all day.
I was advised that they would be filling the spaces with air; but I was confused. Wasn’t air supposed to go in the other end? Maybe they had me facing the wrong way. I was going to mention this to the doctor, when I discovered that my tongue was too big for my mouth. This didn’t matter anyway, because my mouth had moved to another part of my body, and I couldn’t find it. This was the effect of the drugs.
You should expect flowers, and perhaps candy, before considering permitting such liberties. I got neither. On the other hand, they did give me drugs, and what drugs they were. You are supposed to count back from 100; but I only got to about 96. They put me into a sort of a sleep; but this was a mixed blessing. Who is to say that they were not laughing, making jokes, and perhaps taking pictures while I was asleep? I didn’t care for the idea of being the butt of any tacky jokes.
I awakened in the recovery area. It was quite a bit louder than I had expected. It turned out that part of the recovery process was the venting of all of the air that had been introduced into the colon. There were apparently a number of people loudly recovering when I arrived. It was quite melodic in its own way – a sort of a symphony in A flat(ulance). It was incredible the highs that some could hit, and the lows that could be reached by others.
Was it the brass or the woodwinds? I eventually decided it was the (w)hole orchestra. Imagine the poor woman who works that area, having to listen to this all day. I assume that this is where you go if you are a nurse, and your supervisor is mad at you. So the ordeal ended not with a whimper, but with a bang.

The material nine line uses is amazing which easily applies to this shirt. It's very comfortable shirt with a great message. Being in a military town I get a lot of attention for this shirt from Sailors and I alway tell them "go to the Nine Apparel website".
Very well made shirt. I get compliments everywhere I go wearing it. I just love the way it fits, & being a vet myself, I feel great purchasing from a veteran owned company, that helps vets in the process.


An introduction to 'Paddy in the Big Apple'
I have the reputation among family and friends as a footloose wanderer. It was the economy (or lack of it) which persuaded me to leave my Irish homeland for foreign shores to earn my keep. This started with a job in Denmark during college Summer break to pay for tuition, or was it beer vouchers?
We figured we would just party the night away and hopefully something would be available in the morning (the follies of youth!
Traveling for me, is about taking yourself outside of your comfort zone (I have to admit this was a tad too far from comfort) but as you learn to adapt and gain insight into your new surroundings, it tends to open your mind. Sounds familiar?Congrats – you may have NOMAD potential!

In the emphBoundary Labeling problem, we are given a set of \($n$\) points, referred to as emphsites, inside an axis-parallel rectangle \($R$\), and a set of \($n$\) pair \($R$\) from the outside. The task is to connect the sites to the labels by non-intersecting rectilinear paths, so-called emphleaders, with at most one bend. In this paper, we study the problem emphTwo-Sided Boundary Labeling with Adjacent Sides, where labels lie on two adjacent sides of the enclosing rectangle. Wa crossing-free leader layout if one exists. So far, such an algorithm has only been known for the cases that labels lie on one side or on two opposite sides of \($R$\) (where a crossing-free solution always exists). For the more difficult case where labels lie on adjacent sides, we show how to compute crossing-free leader layouts that maximize the number of labeled points or minimize the total leader length.Fekete, S. (ed.) Proceedings of the 293). p. 233--236. , Braunschweig (2013).
Kindermann, P.: Vehicle Routing with Time Constraints and Different Vehicles, http://www1.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/pub/theses/2011-kindermann-diplom.pdf, (2011). </s> I live in Clearwater, Florida. I've been a DIEHARD fan of Joe since I first heard "Bloodline" when it came out in 1994...over the past 6 years I've become friends with several folks, including Jane Hall. Joe, unfortunately, has never played here (yet!!), and the ONLY thing "missing" to make my Overall Experience with/of Joe is hearing him live, in concert.
My friend, Jane, made that happen recently when she phoned me up, on her cell phone, right as Joe began a concert in Maryland, and let me hear the entire concert--on HER nickle/cell phone!!! Granted, the "sound" quality was "lacking," BUT the overall JOY and THRILL of the band and the audience came through loud and clear!!! It was one of the "coolest" experiences I've ever known!!!
Jane, you were SO COOL to do that!!!
Hey thanks guys and yeah I missed one of Tara's calls but its almost better because I have a saved voice mail of part of the River! listening to that can turn any bad day right around.
anyway glad you joined us here Mikel, we have another Mikel from overseas not sure if he's signed up on this new forum yet.
for the record I do not pay these people (ecaxtly) to say nice things about me and I actually tried to tell him not to make it about me anyway, my good buddy isn't as easily mobile as the rest of us but we'll get him a Joe show one of these days. He's been working on trying to get Joe at that fest you went to Carl and made some progress this year I think. also Florida Street team leader Jimmy Reed's working on it too.
To confirm- Jane is not on my payroll, but 2 other stories about Jane. Besides being the first to welcome me to the board, I wanted to give Anthony a copy of Bloodline for Valentine's Day and couldn't find a copy. I posted a request and Jane responded first since she had an extra copy in her inventory, along with Utah Bill. When I mailed her the check, I had her 5 digit address wrong, left out a zero and it was returned to me. She knew it would have been late and mailed me the CD without getting the money first, so trustworthy and just believing in the good of people...Jane also just surprised me with a pile of CD's which included Joe concerts and a live concert of Bonnie Raitt from 1972...very cool and such a nice surprise!!!! Thanks Jane!!! </s> As always, it's so wonderful to see Marty's shows. It's really special when you get to explore a new territory as well! I'd never been to Buck Owens' club before, so these shows were a treat! Deanna and I were at the same table for the first and second shows just in different seats. If you've never been there, the only way I can describe the club is like a big movie set! The outside of the club is like a huge city. There are what appear to be little "shops" there, like Sweet Rosie's Bakery, a law firm, etc. On the inside is this massive bronze statue of Buck that stands in the center of the lobby. Merchandise is to the right and you enter the actual showroom beyond that.
For the encore, Marty had been doing "The Pilgrim," but scratched that and did "Hey Baby"! That was a treat for sure! The show was over, but Marty didn't leave. He stood on that stage for about ten minutes and signed autographs for people that just walked up! He was real nice


LUTZ: Tonight! A principal leaves, a program survives the chopping block, and mock trial wins! These stories and more, tonight, on the Tam News Month in Review.
Welcome. I’m Sander Lutz, and this is the Tam News Month in Review.
Our top story tonight centers on our principal, well, that is, our former principal. Thomas Drescher has been at Tam for the past six years, but last November Then, on Monday, January 28th Drescher left campus in the middle of the day, after sending out an email announcing his immediate resignation.
Drescher stated that “A recent change in personal circumstance will likely result in me resigning and leaving Tam prior to June for a position in another district. I asked Laurie Kimbrel for a transfer to the district office for my remaining time in TUHSD in order to allow a smooth transition in leadership. Today is my last day at Tam, and an interim Principal will fill in my position until the new Tam Principal is selected this spring.”
That interim principal was announced the next day, and began working on Monday, February 4th. Dr. Robert Vieth was formerly at San Marin High School in Novato, and has, an M.A. in Special Education from St. Mary’s College, and a B.A. in Biology from UC Berkeley.
So Justin, there was a big controversy this month over the possibility that Team, the alternative program available to juniors in the district, might be cancelled next year.
SCHMIDT: Yeah, there were a lot of factors that made the school board consider cutting Team. They announced on January 25th that they were considering it, which instantly got the entire community into an uproar.
LUTZ: And just to be clear, the program is still happening next year, right?
SCHMIDT: Yes, technically the district was never planning to cut it, it was more that a plan was being suggested to the school board by Superintendent Laurie Kimbrel that would re-locate the money Team spends, and focus it more on low-income students, a group the district was concerned Team underserved.
The board held a meeting on February 6th, and over 200 people came in support of Team to voice their opinions. After that, a few days later Kimbrel and the board announced they will not be eliminating the Team program, at least for next year.
However, the one change we’ll probably see is an increase in diversity in the program. In their email Kimbrel and the board wrote that, quote, “The board also expressed interest inTeam staff so that recruitment efforts can be expanded to encourage a greater variety of students to apply and so that acceptance criteria are explicit, transparent, and available to all stakeholders.”
We’ll see next year what exactly that means.
LUTZ: Thanks Justin.
Now, for an update on the world of sports, we’ll go to Randy Shapiro for a recap of the month.
SHAPRIO: February was an exciting month for Tam sports teams. The baseball and softball teams have just returned from a week-long trip to Cuba over Ski Week, and officially began their season this week. Additionally, the wrestling team ended a very successful season with several athletes competing at NCS.
This month also brought the start of boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, boys’ tennis, golf and soccer, track and field, and swimming and diving.
While some of us may have been vacationing in Tahoe during ski week, or just relaxing at home, the baseball and softball teams were enjoying an experience few of us may ever have.
At NCS, the Tam wrestling team ended a great season, with seniors Steve Peters, Ryan O’Boyle, Oliver Duler, Dylan Krings leading the team, backed up by freshman Henry Duler and [others]. Congratulations to Dylan for making it further than any other wrestler, competing in four matches during the tournament.
Coming up over the next month, all spring sports teams will begin playing league matches, and we will have updates posted on our website, thetamnews.org.
LUTZ: Well, that’s all from us here at The Tam News. Until next month, you stay classy Tam High.

"Community boards are the voice for the people of the city of New York in between elections," City C community boards, told Gotham Gazette. "It is our grassroots democracy and the closest thing we have to a monthly town hall."
"In addition to reducing administrative costs, [Borough President Adams] believes that the move [online] will result in a larger pool of community board applicants, including from teenagers," Stefan Ringel, Adams' communication director, emailed Gotham Gazette. "Offering this opportunity in an easy-to-use way creates a bridge into community life for our neighbors to connect with one another for the local good."
To advertise the applications in Brooklyn, Ringel said Adams' office plugged them at local meetings and that they sent email blasts to "thousands of Brooklynites, as well as engaging with our thousands of followers on social media."
"There are ways to do succession planning, to have appropriate transitions of institutional knowledge," Werber said. "So, whether that's through training, certain trainings for new members or mentorship of existing members and new members, there are ways to sort of create a pipeline and make sure that institutional knowledge stays within the fabric of the community board, but also to make sure that no one gets too entrenched for that long."

But in this country, commentator Will Wilkinson says there’s another kind of disparity, and the government isn’t helping.

Following is a sampling of the numerous movie projects made in and around Cincinnati this year; (* indicates digital productions):
* Get Right or Get Left, a spiritual coming-of-age written and directed by Jerry White Jr., was shot this summer in Carthage, College Hill and Forest Park, where Mr. White grew up. Now being edited for potential fall release.
* Attempted Living, coming-of-age drama written and directed by Bright, Ind., native Drew Young and produced by his former classmate Amanda Lippert, finished shooting in July. Editing will begin in September. Meanwhile, Ms. Lippert is working as a casting director for a Dayton-based start-up production company on a short DV feature called Other People, and other projects.
* Grimm Reality, a short feature by University of Cincinnati graduate student Eric Chatterjee, revisits traditional fairy tales before they were sanitized for Victorian audiences. After a hiatus, shooting resumes shooting Aug. 25..
* Three Barbecues features a cameo by former Maisonette chef Jean-Robert de Cavel in a movie directed by veteran production designer Rob Gray, who co-wrote the script with Jay Metz. Instead of a single cinematographer, the filmmakers enlisted a team of professionals from the Tristate commercial scene to achieve a style producer Molly Donnellon described as Valley of the Dolls meets John Waters.
* Avenging Disco Vampires, a feature length horror satire from Vamps alumni Daniel Frazier, debuted Saturday at Northern Kentucky University, alma mater of Mr. Frazier and several of his collaborators. Tapes of the movie will be available to order online at.
* Blood Sisters; Vamps 2, is the bawdy, bloody sequel to the original B+ Productions movie about stripper vampires. Shooting wrapped up in February. The movie, now in post-production, will be sold online bplusproductions.com.
@ColText: * Homefree, a short story about homeless people from screenwriter and director Greg Newberry, who shot his previous short film Beemer Baby on 35mm. Production at the Monastery on Mount Adams with a cast and crew of local professionals took just one day. Now editing, Mr. Newberry aims to have the piece finished in time for fall festival deadlines.
Crocodile, a short film shot on 35mm by UC alumni Pedro Lange-Churion, now debuted at the Esquire theater in May.

The best sales assistants generate sales several times bigger than the company average. However, since the high performance comes from the individual competence and skills, it is extremely the success of these sales assistants. IMHDS had made numerous attempts to systematize the skills of the top sales assistants, but with limited success. "We tried to observe how long the top sellers spent on the sales floor or with customers, and we conducted surveys," says Mr. Katsunori Takizawa, Senior Manager in Business Planning & Operations, "but we were unable to establish a practical, systematic approach because gathering and analyzing all the data required needed so much work."

William I de Moyon (d. post 1090)[1] (alias de Moion, also de Mohun), 1st feudal baron of Dunster in Somerset,[2] was seigneur of Moyon in Normandy and became Sheriff of Somerset in 1086. He founded the English de Mohun family in the Westcountry. Recorded of William the Conqueror holding a number of manors in Somerset with caput at Dunster Castle.[3][4]
Deriving from Moyon, near Saint-Lô, Normandy, William was called "one of the greatest Barons of the Cotentin" by Francis Palgrave, though he adds that William had only "five knights who held of him". Dugdale attributed "forty-seven stout Knights of name and note" to him. Participating in the Norman conquest of England, he was granted fifty-five manors in Somerset, one each in Wiltshire and Dorset. He built Dunster Castle on the site of a former West Saxon fortress.[5] The Norman chronicler Wace called him le Viel, (modern French: le Vieux), "the elder", to distinguish him from his son William II de Mohun (d. circa 1155).[6]
Dunster PrioryEdit
William de Moion is credited with founding Dunster Priory. Between 1090 and 1100 he granted the Church of St. George, at Dunster,( where part of the Norman building survives), land and tithes and a tenth of his mares, to the Abbey of St. Peter at Bath and to Bishop John de Villula (died 1122), to "build and exalt" the church.[7] Bath Abbey established at Dunster a cell of their own abbey under the rule of a prior. One of William's charters is recorded in. In this charter William declared his wish to be buried in Bath Abbey, not at Dunster.[7]
The manors he held included Minehead, West Quantoxhead and Combe Sydenham.[9]
