The Religious’ studies of Religion	Recent Posts	Go Holyland
That I relate to a number of great events, and not the Enlightenment alone, probably also is the reason that I don’t see Herdian’s criteria (studying their religion seriously, scholarly, intensively, and critically) in order to maintain integrity. Basically, when I view some Jewish groups and movements who have taken upon themselves to study their religion according to these criteria, I am not so sure about their integrity, but that is just my personal opinion.
That doesn’t mean that I don’t agree with Herdian, indeed, the critical and scholarly study of Judaism, among learned Jews, has been an important element. I just need to mention people like Yehudah HaNasi, Sa’adya Gaon, Maimonides, Ibn ‘Ezra, and in more recent times, R. Soloveitchik and R. Yosef Qappah, to point to the important element of scholarly and critical study in Judaism.
And relating to the discussion on restaurants employing non-Jews, we see that as long as the fire is started by a Jew – in case of Ashkenazim – then the food is accepted, even if a non-Jew places the food (making the rationale be that the one starting the fire is the one cooking the food), whereas other – Sfardic – authorities rule that as long as the Jew does not place the food, then it is not kosher (relating the question of who cooks the food to who places the food, rather than who turns on the fire), though having R. Ovadyah Yosef, shelita, establishing the leniency that as long as the restaurant is owned by a Jew, and hence being under halachic authority and having to follow kashrut, then it is enough that a Jew lights the fire.
I hope that gave a more full picture of my thoughts on the issue.

Pope Francis's American Critics
Catholic conservatives come in many colors across the world—traditionalists who love the old Mass and its trappings, nostalgic restorationists who opine for greater deference to the hierarchy and moral norms, fierce anti-communists who cozy up to oligarchs—and even, on some fringes, the last gasp of the blood-and-soil nationalists.
In my view, this is the lens through which we should view American opposition to Francis, even if much of this opposition seems to center on Amoris Letitia, especially relating to What’s happening here echoes the tried-and-tested political strategy on abortion, which uses the unborn to mask positions that would otherwise be hard to defend—an upward redistribution of income combined with environmental barbarism. Thus, these people will insist that Catholics are obligated to support certain politicians or judges based solely on their stated position on abortion, even as these same politicians and judges do next to nothing for the unborn but do a lot for wealthy donors, large corporations, the financial industry, and fossil fuel billionaires.
This is not to say that these people are not genuine in their opposition to abortion. But they also know it’s a convenient ruse. It’s part of a game. This is the same reason that opponents of climate action and sustainable development keep raising the “population control” canard against the Sustainable Development Goals. The bottom line is that they simply don’t like sustainable development Anglo-American opponents of Amoris Letitia. For sure, some of this criticism is influenced by a prevailing cultural Calvinism inclined toward a dualism antithetical to mercy (American foreign policy, anyone?) combined with the bizarre fact that so many of the American “defenders of the faith” are converts from Protestantism (and their Christian worldview is restricted to the divisions of the Reformation, barely aware of how the Orthodox and non-Chalcedonian Churches have handled these particular issues).
I’m sure there are some Catholics who love Laudato Si’ and Pope Francis’s teaching on the global economy and yet don’t like what he says in Amoris Letitia. And I’m sure there are some Catholics who delight in Amoris Letitia and think the pope is off his rocker with economics and the environment. But I submit that these two groups are tiny in number. Especially in America, find a stark critic of Pope Francis on Amoris Letitia, and you are extremely likely to also find a libertarian and a climate science denier. And the stronger the opposition to Amoris, the stronger the attachment to these other positions.

2012 R2 and the new Work Folder feature
Installing the work folder feature can be done in two ways – Server Manager and you guessed it, PowerShell. To install via PowerShell fire up an administrative PS prompt and enter „Install-WindowsFeature FS-SyncShareService„. If you decide for the Server Manager path you will find it under server roles „File and Storage Services“ => „File and iSCSI Services“ => „Work Folders“.
I decided to stick with an unencrypted connection as I don’t won’t to fiddle around with SSL certificates for this quick demo. This of course is not recommended for productive environments. By default the Work Folder client requires an https connection. To allow unsecure connections the following registry key (REG_DWORD) needs to be created and set to one (‚1‘).
In the Add Site Binding dialog box, under Type, select https.

Best of ‘Lagunatics’ to Reprise its Showstoppers
Former Police Chief Jim Spreine’s last curtain call in 2005 before retiring.
Fill in in your own peeve and chances are that writers Bree Burgess Rosen and Chris Quilter, along with musical director Roxanna Ward and choreographer Paul Nygro, will have turned it into song and dance numbers that skewer the town’s flaws and transform them into side-splitting merriment.
That is if the last 20 years are any indication. “Lagunatics” celebrates its second decade with this year’s production, “Schlock and Awe,” at the Festival of Arts Forum Theater for two weekends beginning Saturday Oct. 13.
Patrick “Guitar Floyd” Casey and Patrick Quilter mourn the city’s refusal in 2010 to allow a pot dispensary in “Little Grass Shack.”
As it was initially in 1992, Joe Lauderdale directs this year’s production, again co-written by founder Rosen and Quilter. Choreographer Paul Nygro, as he has off and on for at least 14 years, will take audiences on a trip through the last 10 years. The first decade was summed up in 2002, explained Rosen.
The show includes cast members recently seen in the No Square Theatre production “Ruthless,” such as Nygro, who embodied the irrepressible Sylvia St. Croix, and four-year veteran Lisa Mansour. Other cast members include performer-about-town Pat Kollenda, and elected officials Toni Iseman, Jane Egly and Verna Rollinger. Over the years, cast members have gone and returned. Turnover is minimal. “Lagunatics” does not hold open auditions.
Paul Sigmund and Kelly Hancock in “The Last Night of the Foam,” about 2007’s citywide styrofoam ban.
“I won’t have a lot of time to rehearse but it will be a lot of fun for me,” said Spreine, who loved his job on the police force and felt honored to be its chief, but had misgivings about becoming a performer. “I told Bree that I am not an artist. I’d rather face five armed robbery suspects than go up on stage,” he recalled.
Evidently Rosen succeeded in coaxing the reluctant hoofer under the proscenium arch. She reminisced about Spreine bringing down the house in 2005 with his heartfelt vocals in “I’ve Grown Accustomed to this Place,” based on the signature song from “My Fair Lady.”
“When everyone bowed at the end with a rose and gave it to Jim, there was not a dry eye in the house. It still gives me goosebumps remembering it,” she said.

WHAT HAPPENED IN Y2K - YEAR 2000?
Let's fast forward to Parshat Bo - the Torah portion that tells the story of the Exodus from Egypt, from which the Book of Exodus gets it name. But before the big exodus, we see that the last three plagues that hit the Egyptians took place - locusts, darkness, and smiting dead the firstborn. Sounds a bit like 9/11. In fact, it has been said that the name of the Parsha in which this takes place - Bo - is the Gematria of 3, alluding to these final plagues, after which the Jews left Egypt. But the word Bo can be read another way to be another Gematria. As we mentioned in our last post, sometimes when putting a letter in front of other letters to spell a number as in a Jewish year, the number becomes a unit of thousand. So with this word - Bo - when the first letter is Beit - in front of the Alef, Beit can have a numerical value of 2000 instead of the usual number 2, and the Alef is 1 = 2001!
Now, who was responsible for this intifada on the United States?Well, in this Parshat Bo, when Hashem tells Moshe about the last plague that He planned to bring on Egypt, He tells him "Lo Yishma Aleichem Par'oh" - "Pharaoh will not listen to you" (Exodus 11:9 - the same numbers in 9/11!
With this being said, let's turn straight to this week's Torah reading where Yishmael himself, as Avraham's son, willingly goes through the circumcision that Hashem orders him to have. He was 13 years old at the time - not the 8 day old baby who has no say in the matter - "Ben Shlosh Esreh Shana B'Himolo" (Genesis 17:25) Take a close look at the lettering here - start with the Hei in the word Esreh - then Shana B'H. This can be read as The Year 2005!The Beit in front of the Hei can connote the numerical value of 2000 and then the Hei is 5. My friends, this is the ONLY time in the ENTIRE T'nach-Bible where it spells this out!
What's next?The president of the United States who is predicted to be Gog of the final war as predicted in the Bible?Unless anything changes, we will be having a special edition blog about who could be Hashem's ultimate rebel child & darkness- the Kenya-born & Indonesian citizen- who will G-d forbid be appointed to a post which is forbidden to hiAlso, what does he and Yishmael the son of Avraham have in common?And most importantly - what Jews outside of Israel - especially in the United States - need to start doing immediately!


Time and time again, passion has been cited as the key ingredient that drives venture performance. Like Paul Graham from Y Combinator states, “We thought when we started Y Combinator that the most important quality would be intelligence. That’s the myth in the Valley. And certainly, you don’t want founders to be stupid. But as long as you’re over a certain threshold of intelligence, what matters most is passion.” Passion is what motivates people, the “fire of desire” that makes entrepreneurs pursue their dreams and make the impossible possible. Also academic work repeatedly confirms that entrepreneurial passion boosts persistence and creativity. Thus, we know that passion is important in explaining entrepreneurial success. But is it more important than prior experience, skills and knowledge – so called human capital? And what happens if team members experience different levels of passion? Can passion also lead to negative outcomes? These were the key questions driving one of the studies that I’ll talk about today. Specifically, the main objective of this study was to examine whether and how rational (human capital) and affective (passion) team member characteristics interact in predicting venture performance.
The results of the study show that entrepreneurial teams with greater human capital do not necessarily perform better. Instead, the positive impact of their human capital is dependent upon the teams’ passion and the extent to which team members share a common vision for the strategy of the company.
These findings make a lot of sense. Let’s take the example of Mike, a friend of mine who is working for a venture capital firm. Mike recently told me about a potential investment, a software company, that he was very excited about. Let’s call it Clocker. When Mike read about Clocker and received the company materials, he was thrilled to meet the team. In addition to the interesting financials, the founding team’s track record was outstanding. The founder and CEO had in depth industry knowledge, worked in the software space for years and led the product division for Salesforce. The CFO graduated from Harvard, had worked for Bain & Company before joining Clocker and showed very strong financial and strategic skills. The VP of Sales was a typical sales tiger who’d worked as an account manager for Microsoft. Finally, the fourth team member was very hands-on, a serial entrepreneur with a successful exit on his resume and some experience with start-up failures. On paper, the team seemed to have all that it would take to successfully scale up Clocker and ensure a nice return on the potential investment. You’ll understand why Mike was very excited to meet the Clocker team.
Nevertheless, when the team members presented their pitch in the boardroom and elaborated on the Clocker growth strategy, Mike was disappointed. The story just didn’t hold. While the founder told Mike that he wanted to expand to the USA and become the next Salesforce, the CTO did not seem to share this passion and ambition. He dismissed the founders’ ideas immediately and argued that he would be too busy with other projects to realize global expansion this year. The problem? The Clocker team members had very different ambitions and goals in mind for Clocker and were not equally passionate about the company. Because of these differences in passion team members did not communicate efficiently and failed to share their knowledge, which ultimately led to a decrease in their performance. Not surprisingly, the Clocker team soon after broke up.

Coming Home. Offerings to the Living Land. Mindfulness and the Honoring of Place. | Pamela Ann McDowell Saylor
August 20, 2016 Pam Leave a comment
True compassion is not always soft, capitulating, and surrendering, but at times is fiery and fierce. But this fire and ferocity emerges from a heart that is wide open, and a longing to dissolve suffering in all its forms, for both self and other.

The healing elixir exists within the poison.
Your issues, your trauma, your pain can set you free.
You need to pay attention to the message it brings
Let its voice be spoken and seen by you
In this motion you love yourself unconditionally
Calling on the ancestors and the net of light.

Call forth the Ancestors
“What we are about to say is very important,” the Great Council of the Grandmothers dictated, “and only certain ones will be able to listen. Only certain ones will act on it and go on to do the work we are laying out. You know who you are,” they gestured, “and it is to you that we are speaking.
“Whenever you come together to meditate, pray, and amplify the presence of love on earth, first call on us or on any form of the Divine. Also call on the Net of Light. Then,” they paused for emphasis, “call forth the ancestors. Call the ancestors of your family line, the ancestors of the land where you were born and where you live. Call the ancestors everywhere on earth. You may think of them as ‘Ancestors of the light’. Simply think of their Higher Consciousness and invite this enlightened aspect of them to participate in the bond of love the Net of Light provides.
“As soon as anyone calls on the Net of Light, they feel its support, and this is as true for the ancestors as it is for you. They too will warm to the Net of Light’s embrace, and as they connect to this magnificent construct, they will be able to assist the Net in holding and lifting life on earth. It is because of you that the ancestors will have this chance to take part in blessing this planet.”
….The power of this blessing will wrap the earth in a blanket of forgiveness. Heaviness of every kind will lift. Ancient enmities will collapse, tribal hatreds will disperse. Racism, sexism and prejudice will no longer have a place to call home. And the term, ‘stranger,’” they smiled, “will become obsolete.” I sobbed as I listened and after I’d done that for a while, I began to laugh. “Grandmothers, I said, “how wonderful you are. How completely wonderful you are.”
“Yes, they said, seeming to agree with me, “and you too are wonderful. This that we are asking of you is wonderful work and all will be struck by the wonder of it.”
Ch. 12, p. 160-161, Casting the Net, Sharon McErlane
Re-creating a sense of belonging to the land.
July 15, 2016 Pam Leave a comment
Because most of us have been orphaned from our ancestral land and the ways of our people, we suffer with the restlessness and ache of not-belonging. Instead of trying to regain what has been lost, Martín Prechtel teaches that we must learn to live in the way our ancestors lived; in reverence and indebtedness to the Holy in Nature.
One powerful practice is to create a place in your home where you know the origins of everything. Not just where a thing came from, but who made it and with what skills, and at what cost to its roots. This Place of Origin may be small and sparse at first, but you add to it over time and, when the young ones come up around you, you tell the stories that you’ve collected in the hopes that one day, where you stayed put becomes a place of Belonging again.

You must put love behind your thoughts to make them work. There are many good courses of thought development and management which would work better and have more lasting results if the power behind thought were more fully understood. Compare your love and your thoughts to an archer. If your love is the archer, then your mind is the bow, and your thoughts are the arrows. Without careful direction of thoughts, you will not hit the target. Without love to pull the bow string, your motivation will be weak or misdirected. These things are all part of your totality, yet love is the simplicity of your power. It is important to guard and direct your thoughts. Even so, do not assign them a separate power from your love, and do not think the keys to heaven can be grasped by your mind. Your mind cannot open that door.

So much of this path involves coming to trust again in the wisdom of our direct experience, as we reorganize outdated relationships with the members of our inner families: the shamed one, the raging one, the terrified one, the lonely one, and the one who is unworthy of being seen.
While clear awareness of these narratives, perceptions, emotions, and sensations is important, in the end perhaps it is not clarity and insight that heal. Rather, it is the unfolding of the embodied heart. It is not just a detached, pulled back, safe witnessing that will open the door into the sacred world, but warmth, compassion, and a relentless sort of kindness toward our surging experience.
In the radical commitment to no longer abandon yourself – to not pathologize your vulnerability nor hold it as evidence that something is wrong with you – a new pathway appears. Out of the crystalline purity of awareness the qualities of that awareness flow: slowness, curiosity, attunement, tenderness, and warmth.
Surround your inner world with these qualities and over time the new circuitry of love will be encoded.

You are Life passing through your body, passing through your mind, passing through your soul. Once you find that out, not with the logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that Life — you find out what you are the force that makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower. You find out that you are in every tree, you are in every animal, vegetable, and rock. You are that force that moves the wind and breathes through your body. The whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. You are Life.
“Why We Have a Body”– John G. Bennett
April 2, 2016 Pam Leave a comment
from “Why We Have a Body” by J.G. Bennett
The answer is a very important and deep one. The body is an instrument which enables transformations to take place in us which are necessary for our freedom and for establishing ourselves with the possibility of existing in a different way. One of the reasons why a body can do this is because the physical body is related in a special way to time and therefore it is a very well-devised instrument for overcoming the problem of time in ourselves. Until we can overcome this problem of time, we are always undergoing a process of destruction. From the moment it is born, this body of ours is undergoing a process of destruction which is only partly compensated by its power of renewal, and we are inclined to think that the renewal mechanism that is placed in the body is just for the purpose of keeping it alive and active for the span of time allotted to each one of us. In other words, that we have this power of organic renewal simply so that the body can maintain itself.
It is really necessary for us to bring our bodies into the service of our aim. If we try to do this with our thoughts and our feelings only, it is almost an impossible task, but with the help of the body it is possible. Something in you will be listening for that bell and that something is your own body. If you ask of your body that it should remind you of your wish when it hears the bell, you will see that it will begin to do so. I say “ask” because there is an intelligence in the body which we can rely on. We are inclined to treat the body as if it were a donkey that cannot understand anything; but even donkeys understand a good deal of what is said to them and our own bodies can understand a good deal more. They can be spoken to and they will respond; they will help us. In fact they will help us better than our thoughts or our feelings, because they are more reliable-if only we will let them do the work for which they are intended.

Humility is an endearing smile offered in respect to your fiercest teachers, who often come disguised as frustration, loneliness, boredom, confusion, and despair. Humility is anonymous generosity. It is the transformer of embarrassment and the remover of intimidation that calls you out of hiding on life’s immaculate terms and conditions.
What if, the next time you’re waiting in line, you invited the person behind you to go first? Only humility can do that.

Education References: There Are Lots Of Nursing Jobs, But Will An Online School Give You What You Need For A Nursing Career?
In the last 20 years there have been so many more opportunities for women in the work place that the nursing profession has suffered. We are in a position now that it is crucial to promote it widely and do what can be done to entice more people to take an interest in the nursing profession.
Fortunately the pay scale for qualified nurses has increased by as much as 12% in the last few years. Certification and geography play a big role in what kind of salary you can get. If you live in the New England or Pacific area, then the salaries are much higher. Also large hospitals with a high bed count typically pay more. And of course certification also makes a huge difference in salary. The range is huge. The average RN earns $40,000 to $58,000 per year. Specialty nurses can earn $65,000 to $80,000 per year depending again on certification and geography.
With the busy lifestyle we lead today, online courses are a great option, especially if you have children and want to further your education in a nursing career. There are several accredited online courses to help you achieve your goal. Your research skills can pay off big time if you do your homework and find the best online solution for you. Online courses now can get you Associate, Bachelor, Master, PhDs and more. There are also online sites that help you with your resume to help place you when you are ready.
If you are thinking about entering the nursing profession chances are you are a caring individual and want to help people. This I think is a wonderful gift you give of yourself and the health profession needs you. The word needs to get out to encourage young people to consider a nursing career for now and future health care.

Proponents of UNCLOS ratification claim that the United States can’t counter China’s claims without ratifying UNCLOS itself. Yet the United States already act whereas China, which has ratified UNCLOS, uses UNCLOS to flaunt the law. By twisting the UNCLOS into pretzels, China is changing the rules of the game. The liberal order made rules to accommodate the rights and interests of those who decided to participate in it. It turns out China doesn’t much like those rules and is attempting to overturn them – especially those rules that protect freedom of navigation and those that make it difficult for China to pursue its territorial ambitions in Asia. Ratifying UNCLOS isn’t an effective way to combat that effort. These disputes are about power politics and neither China nor the United States will allow them to be settled in court – UNCLOS approved or otherwise. Rather, the United States must continue doing what it has always done. It should continue to operate naval vessels in international waters – including in other countries’ EEZs – where and when it wants to do so. Operations should run the gamut of peaceful activities – surveillance activities, exercises, and so on. And Washington must clearly state its intention to continue abiding by centuries-old customary international law pertaining to freedom of the seas including provisions of UNCLOS that are consistent with those practices. In interactions with Chinese counterparts, American diplomats should repeatedly and consistently restate the American position – there should be no question as to where the United States stands. As it does so, the U.S. should engage China in diplomacy, pointing out – among other matters – that China itself conducts military activity in other countries’ EEZs. We need rules of the road with China to manage competition, not wishful thinking about what U.N. bodies can resolve. It has always been practice that has determined international law of the oceans. China understands this, and is working to shift law and custom through its own practices. Only by continuing to act on the high seas as it always has can the United States hope to maintain a system of international rules that serves its own interests. Ratifying UNCLOS could very well have the opposite effect.


The Globber also has a low deck giving better stability and as well as handlebar grips made from more durable material, all in all making a ride of the Globber really comfortable. I gave it a try myself and I can definitely vouch for its comfort over the normal hard plastic scooters.
Finally I love the wheels on the Globber, not only do they look great but they are also high rebound polyurethane with nylon cores making them really high quality ensuring they last throughout lots of wear and tear they are bound to succumb to.
I set Holly the challenge of mastering the Globber after she had previously refused to give it a try. It really did not take her long to adjust to the new steering and I was surprised how much she loved it. Before long she was turning and scooting around the street happily. Quite often she was bending down rather than standing up so I adjusted the handlebar height and this seemed to help.
I have put together a fun video of her giving the Globber a try, which you can have a look at below. If you are interested in these unique scooters*We were sent this scooter FOC however all opinions are my own.


The Bangor Daily News filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the Maine State Police to force it to unredact discipline records detailing the misconduct of its officers.
Last spring, the BDN requested written disciplinary decisions against state troopers, which are public under Maine law. Seven months later, on Dec. 29, the BDN received 53 pages of records, but specific details about misconduct were obscured.
The BDN is asserting in Penobscot County’s superior court that the redactions defy Maine’s public disclosure law. The records offer one of the few windows into police misbehavior and accountability, and they have been key to recent BDN investigations into police oversight.
The newspaper had previously requested and received more than 1,000 pages of similar records from county sheriff’s offices, which did not hide specifics about officers’ misconduct as the state’s largest police force did.
On a separate page, the state police blacked out several lines appearing to describe in detail what the sergeant did. The context of the record suggests the redactions are obscuring specific misconduct.
In addition, state police staff attorney Christopher Parr acknowledged that the agency had redacted details of misconduct within the full file.
When the BDN contested the redactions, Parr, on Jan. 7, unredacted two paragraphs that had provided an employee assistance program phone number. He also later determined that two employee identification numbers had been redacted in error. But he declined to unredact more.
Although final written decisions about discipline agreements are public documents, “certain information contained in the documents may be designated confidential by law,” Parr wrote in an email.
Costs of the lawsuit are supported by a grant from the Pulitzer Center, a nonprofit in Washington, D.C., that sponsors independent reporting.

Perhaps the tenured faculty could have bucked them up by volunteering to take pay cuts too, perhaps half the percentage?
Part trolling, part not. A lot of us tenured faculty seem to resent the fat salaries of the administrators. Myself included sometimes. But I would say we have it relatively good, a lot of us very good. A lot of people think we are "overpaid and underworked" as the saying goes. Some of the classified types and the adjuncts have lost their jobs, right?

A look at RaceFail 2009	More on how to separate bullying from activism diversity, Harassment, philosophyience philosophy, sexism, social justice, Speculative fiction, Vox Day	activism, bullying, censorship, dogma, fantasy, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, harassment, Hillary Rettig, ideology, publishing, Saul Alinsky, science fiction, sectarian warfare, social movements, speculative fiction, writing	10 Comments
Last, Rettig notes that this kind of bullying based on dogma often leads to sectarian warfare that can “suck the very life out of a social movement.” In other words, it’s destructive of the very ideology that activists are trying to advance. Bullying tactics only alienate people and lead to failures in social movements.
Is the current conflict within the SFF community a sectarian battle? For people who just enjoy the fight, this won’t mean much, but for people who are really interested in advancing a cause, it’s reason to take note.
Feb 10, 2016 @ 04:10:44
I think this is the behavior the term “politically correct” was originally intended to condemn.
Do you mean bullying to enforce a dogma?
Bullying to take advantage of people who haven’t mastered all the fine details of a topic. To make the bully feel powerful, not to do any good even for the dogma.
Greg, I’m sure you’re right. According to the MacKenzie article, bullies think they are enforcers and will increase their social status by bullying, i.e. making them more powerful.
This is a point where I think the MacKenzie article is too optimistic. I don’t think these bullies want to increase their status. They just want to hurt people.
That is a good point. I do think that feeling activist has something to do with it, though. The examples I’ve given are about specific complaints. However, once the battle is engaged, people will attack others just on principle.
The way I think of it is that activists often attract unsavory people who care little or nothing for the main cause. They’re welcome when you want to swell your number. I’ll admit I’ve at least once seen the “new activist bully” who was clearly trying to prove his bona fides by being more PC than anyone else. But I still think the common case is the person of bad character who’s only involved for the opportunity to hurt people, and cares not which side his/her victims are from.
The MacKenzie article did classify this kind of person as a terrorist in search of an ideology.
Lela – thanks for all these posts. They’re nice summaries of various controversies in fandom and I really appreciate it.
You’re welcome. I am trying to ask some questions about what people might be doing that leads to conflict in the SFF community. Some of this is the collision of different viewpoints, of course, but the way people present their perspective has an effect on whether the community is a “safe space” where everyone can work without feeling bullied or otherwise shut down. There are already enough obstacles to success without people creating more.

The goal is unquestionably awesome, but over the course of the season how sustainable is it?  I don't think it's reasonable.
Chiasson should be a big part of things for the Stars going forward, but the impact he will have on the 2014 season is anyone's guess. He has the size and skill set to be a useful member of the 2014 roster, and he. The most realistic expectation for Chiasson is as a useful bottom six forward with the potential to be a third line scoring option as the season progresses.

Animals are drawn to the powerful healing energy of Reiki and the Akashic and respond well to these healing modalities. Reiki sessions for animals bring balance and harmony, as it does with humans, for anxiety, abuse, nervousness, aging and phobias, while healing in their Akashic ensures clearing and healing through all timelines. This is an excellent modality for rescue animals. Healing is applicable to dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, bunnies, rodents, horses, farm animals, fish etc.

Sisi praised the approach adopted by the Saudi leadership elcomed the mending of ties with Iraqal-Sheikh, the Egyptian president underlined his commitment to strategic relations with the Kingdom, stressing that Egypt’s stability “depends on the stability in Saudi Arabia and vice-versa.”
Asked about the parties behind terrorism in Egypt, Sisi warned that forces targeting his country were also threatening the whole region. He noted in this regard that those forces consisted of extremist organizations or regional states that seek to destabilize and change the equations.
“Our decision is conclusive in confronting these attacks and attempts, and our will is solid. We, as Arab countries, must unite in defense of our national security and stability against attempts to divide or plunge our countries in chaos and exhaust our economies,” he said.
On the crisis with Qatar, the Egyptian leader stressed that the demands of the Anti-Terrorism Quartet were clear in regards to the need for the Gulf country to stop its support for terrorism and to respect other states’ sovereignty.
“Palestinian reconciliation is a vital and important issue for the Palestinian people, and we have encouraged and embraced reconciliation… and we hope that the outcome will serve the peace process. The region needs peace, because its absence has cost the region much and depleted its energy,” he stated.


IACRC | August 25, 2018
In August 2018, IACRC conducted an advanced training workshop in Washington, DC for ten representatives of Egypt’s Administrative Control Agency (ACA – http://www.aca.gov.eg/). ACA’S responsibilities include the conduct of anti-corruption and money laundering investigations.
The five-day workshop was built around a realistic simulated case in which teams of participants had to plan and execute a complex investigation involving suspected bribery, money laundering and the recovery of assets from abroad. Each participant was provided a computer pre-loaded with documentary evidence and leads that could be accessed only when the teams demonstrated an understanding of how a particular document or other piece of evidence could be helpful to the solution of the case. On the final day of the training, each team made a presentation demonstrating how the evidence gathered during the week proved the violation of relevant Egyptian laws.
Thomas Lasich, the lead trainer for IACRC, link, who has extensive experience in corruption and money laundering investigations, developed the simulated case training method, which has proven very popular with anti-corruption organizations around the world. All of the simulated case programs are tailored to reflect the circumstances, laws and procedures of the home countries of the participants. Thus, Egyptian names and places were used and the elements of the offenses were those found in Egypt’s laws, although information about comparable international standards was also provided.
Sara Savitt, Michael Kramer and Howard Anderson also supported the training on behalf of IACRC.

I’m 22 Years Old, and I’m Still Afraid of the Dark
Things started to get eerie pretty quickly. Not all of the streetlights were working properly, and not as many houses I passed had that Thomas Kinkade glow I had been hoping for. Not to mention the fact an older man, while power walking with the same idea as I had, scuffed his tennis shoes a little too loudly, causing me to jump. In my head I had no reason to be frightened—I was only a half mile away from my warm home—but my heart told me otherwise. My pace quickened, along with my pulse.
Sometimes our spiritual pulse does the same thing’to’a).
In the midst of all this, I can’t help but be reminded of Psalm 139. While rehearsing the options of where he can run, where he can escape from the presence of God, David justifies(v. 11). Surely political powers and clashing religions and bigotry and physical hardship will be enough for the darkness to encompass us. But David reminds himself in the next verse”

of the combine wave exactly double.
Ask the youth if there’s something they notice as the frequency increases. It gets quieter. Why? Because generating a higher frequency takes more power. Unless you raise the power as you raise the frequency, it will get quieter and quieter.
As we age, we hear higher frequencies less and less.
The youth can hear the higher frequencies, and it doesn’t bother them too much, because that power thing keeps the volume dropping.
Now crank up the volume on those external speakers. Watch the cringe. And if you’re an old coot of a leader, it doesn’t bother you because you can’t hear it!

Prior to founding Cellect, he was CEO of Target-In, and CTO and VP R&D of Collgard Biopharmaceutical, a tissue therapeutics company. Dr. Yarkoni is a board certified Ob/Gyn and is the author of over 60 scientific papers. In this interview with BioTuesdays.com, he discusses Cellect’s unique approach to facilitating immune stem cell selection for bone marrow transplantation.
Cellect was founded in 2011 by myself, Dr. Nadir Askenasy, who is now our chief scientist, and Kasbian Chirich, our financial and business leader, in order to develop commercial medical applications on the basis of our functional stem cell selection technology. In July 2013, we completed a reverse merger into a TASE-listed company and to date, we have raised more than ILS 20 million. Our technology is the result of 15 years of academic research, largely by Dr. Askenasy, and is protected by several patent families in the U.S., Europe, Israel and elsewhere.
We have proved in extensive lab and animalOur platform technology enables functional selection of a wide variety of stem cells, with many potential applications. It ls should be used to develop superior identification, selection and utilization of stem cells. The technologyis agents, or programmed cell death. While these molecules induce apoptosis in mature cells, they spare stem cells. This differential sensitivity can be used to dramaticallmainly by eliminating severe adverse effects, and by facilitating engraftment, while providing significant reduction in the costs of treatment. Our first product under development is a medical device for the bone marrow transplant market to treat blood cancers, as well as other markets where there is a need for stem cell selection.
Can you give us a primer on stem cell transplantation?
This is a medical procedure where stem cells reconstruct and replace damaged tissues and organs – a potential cure for a wide range of diseases and disorders. Bone marrow cell transplantation is actuallychaperoned by mature cells that currently can hardly be separated from the stem cells. These cells are the main cause of adverse events frequently seen in bone marrow transplantationautoimmune disease, chemotherapy, orimproved substantially over the years. However, the procedure poses significant issues with morbidity and toxicity, and precludes its wide therapeutic u these transplants are currently performed as a last resort for intractable hematological malignancies and on a limited basis to correct inborn immune deficiencies.
As a first step, we are focused on achieving a relatively quick validation of the technology in a significant market. That’s why we selected an application that reduces the risks in bone marrow transplant for leukemia patients. The most common life-threatening condition following a transplant is Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), where immune system cells from a donor attack the body of the recipient patient. In parallel to validating the technology, we areiabetes and solid organ transplantation, for a broad spectrum of market segments, up to and including all production and research processes for stem cell-based products. We believe that in 10 years, our process will be integrated into the production procedure of stem cell-based products and be an essential part of regenerative medicine.
About 6 months ago we started collaborating with a U.S.-based company called Entegris. It is a market leader in the field of high-end, polymer-based products and is currently expending its life sciences portfolio. The synergy between their chemical and manufacturing capability in polymer-based products and our biological understanding, as well as patent coverage, highlights the potential for a strong collaboration and a win-win situation. We are jointly applying for a large bi-national grant and are considering other commercial considerations of the activity.
What is your lead product?
Our first product under development is a specialized off-the-shelf infusion bag coated with apoptotic ligands for use within the process of preparing the graft for bone marrow transplantation. These ligand proteins initiate an apoptosis process leading to elimination of mature somatic cells that give rise to GvHD, while sparing progenitor stem cells that facilitate engraftment. Therefore, we are creating the first functional selection system of stem cells for medical use. Based on the same concept we are also developing another line of products for the life science research market, which consists of test tubes with an apoptotic inner coating for stem-cells selection. I would like to emphasize that in using our products and procedure, there is a significantly shorter procedure time and lower procedure costs, compared with current procedures.
What’s the clinical status of your technology?
We have established proof-of-concept for the technology in animals and in human cells, and have built a comprehensive IP portfolio protecting its development. In our animal studies, using various sources of hematopoietic cells, mortality rates for GvHD were dramatically reduced. There was a significant reduction of cells that attack the immune system and an increase in the percentage of stem and progenitor cells in the sample. In addition, we saw preservation of successful engraftment and maintenance of an anti-tumor effect.
What is the next step in your clinical development?
We are currently preparing a first-in-human trial this year with our process of functional selection of stem cells. The first study is taking the donor’s graft and incubating it with FasL, washing and transplanting it. This is planned as a Phase 1/2 open label study with 12 leukemia patients, to be conducted in Israel. The primary endpoint is safety. This Phase 1/2 study covers both GvHD as an adverse effect of bone marrow transplant, so it is a safety issue, but also the target of our treatment. As a secondary endpoint, we will also evaluate time to engraftment, again aiming to show that unlike other cell selection processes, the reduction in GvHD does not lead to delayed engraftment, another safety issue. </s> This is cl


Heckingbottom only named the Spanish playmaker on the bench, but he was introduced in the second-half with great effect as he played in Ezgjan Alioski to score.
Saiz has arguably been Leeds’ best player this season and is without doubt the best signing that director of football Victor Orta has made in West Yorkshire.
He is most likely to play in the No 10 role behind Pierre-Michel Lasogga against Brentford as United aim to pick up their first win since 2018 and their first win under Heckingbottom’s leadership.

Candidate and employee onboarding experience surveys can be an incredibly powerful tool when layered upon the areas of potential bias uncovered through quantitative analysis to understand why people are dropping out and which parts of the process people drop out due to a bad experience in the recruitment or onboarding phase.
A common issue when analyzing recruitment data is that organizations don’t track the gender of the candidate and only the gender of the hired candidates, leading to a misleading analysis when the success of your recruitment team’s Diversity & Inclusion efforts is just based on hires.
We recommend that while many companies and countries don’t have an absolute requirement to capture diversity data in the recruitment phase, companies should still try to actively capture as much diversity data as possible while keeping certain diversity fields opt-in. There is a widespread expectation on the candidate side that there will be bias, so companies should be explicitly clear on why they need the data to eliminate bias and include processes that ensure the data is disclosed only for later analysis and won’t be disclosed to people involved in the screening and recruitment processes.
A suggestion from us is to ensure that diverse candidates are able to meet with a diverse pool of people during the recruitment process, This might not necessarily mean that someone should interview with someone from the same demographic, but just having a buddy to help prepare for the final interview can sometimes really make the difference in your candidates feeling included.

The approach has changed but the results remain the same for West Orange.
With an ace in the circle the Warriors are off to a hot start after trading power at the plate for small-ball tactics.
Junior Lauren Mathis, a University of Georgia commit, has yet to allow an earned run in 55 innings pitched. She has racked up 114 strikeouts against just 10 hits for a 10-1 record.
"She puts so much spin on the ball that it looks so good coming in, but by the time it does it's up in the batter's hands," West Orange coach Todd LaNeave said.
Five players are hitting .400 or better for the Warriors, led by sophomore Lexie Blair (20-for-40) who has 19 RBI, 18 runs and eight hits for extra bases.
"We're not the power hitting team that we were last year but we have more speed, and we're going to utilize that," LaNeave said. "We're going to find a hole and use our speed to put the pressure on."
West Orange's lone loss came in a 1-0 outing against the top-ranked team in Class 6A, Plantation American Heritage, on Feb. 20.
The home run spree continues for St. Cloud, which defeated defending Class 7A champion Cantonment Tate over the weekend in Panama City Beach.
Sara Crawford entered Tuesday's game against Poinciana one homer shy of tying the school record in a season. She's batting .528 (19-for-36) with nine home runs.
Cortney Wentzell is hitting .556 (25-for-45) with five homers while senior Paige Shantz has added four home runs for the Bulldogs.
Eustis (10-1) entered the week hitting .433 as a team with 128 runs scored thanks largely to the efforts of Leea Hanks (.585, 25 RBI, 22 runs), Tori Rodebaugh (.563, 25 runs) and Seriah Brokenborough (.541, 20 RBI).
Montverde (10-1) junior Natalia Rodriguez is batting .548 (17-for-31) with 16 runs scored while Oviedo (3-8) sophomore Katherine Budnovich is batting .632 (24-for-38).
Cornerstone Charter (10-2) junior McKella Maldonado is hitting .550 (24-for-44) with 11 RBI for the Ducks and sophomore Maya Amm, a Florida Atlantic commit, is batting .444 (16-for-39) with 13 RBI.
Mary Acosta is 26-for-39 (.667) with 17 RBI, eight doubles, three triples and two inside-the-park home runs for Gateway (2-9).
Hagerty has gotten quality starts from senior Erin Crawford, who entered the week 5-0 with an ERA of 2.26, and sophomore Ashley Worrell (4-1, 42 strikeouts).
Kenzie Longanecker (8-1, 0.82 ERA) has recorded four shutouts and struck out 90 batters in 68 innings for Winter Springs (9-2).
Karla Plogstedt (6-0, 1.28 ERA) has retired 58 and allowed only eight hits for Boone (10-1).
Kyra Gipson is 7-3 thus far for Mount Dora (8-6) with a 1.18 ERA and 97 strikeouts over 65 innings.
Junior Georgina Corrick, a USF commit, is expected back from injury next week for Seminole (7-8) after missing six games. The Seminoles have dropped three of their past four since her injury.


There are lots of reasons as an employer where you may need to move location, often this could be a need to reduce costs, move to larger premises due to expansion, a merger with another business or if a restructure takes place.
An employer can ask their employees to move location if you have what is known as a ‘mobility clause’ within your employment contract. This is a contractual provision that in broad terms allows the employers so long as it is deemed to be ‘reasonable’.
If the new location is just a few miles away and the employee can drive or easily take public transport, it will probably be deemed unreasonable for them to turn down such an offer.
It is important to point out that there is no definition of ‘reasonable distance’ as this can largely depend upon the individuals’ circumstances as to specifically why they choose not to move.
If, however, it involves a difficult journey, even if it's only a few miles away, or has a significant impact on their home life and/or personal matters like a family situation or children's education, it may be reasonable for them to say no to a move.
An employee can also refuse to move if the distance is too great and would have a significant impact on their home life i.e. distance from child’s school, other dependants such as elderly parents nearby, not wanting to leave their current home etc.
Larger moves
In some cases (usually at a more senior level), as an employer, you may choose to offer a relocation package to help support the move, but there is no legal obligation to do so.
Moves that require a significant change of geographical location need looking at more closely. Generally speaking the larger the move, the more likely someone is to refuse, and most large scale relocations are often conducted on a voluntary basis with the ‘carrot’ of relocation support being offered to try and encourage a large of proportion of existing staff to choose to make the move rather than trying to force it upon them.
If you are going to offer a relocation support package, firstly you will need to check whether you have an existing written policy that sets out terms of relocation and criteria whereby employees may be eligible for relocation assistance. Often this is determined by pay grade or in some cases, is on a discretionary basis, but it’s important to sense check the policy to ensure it is not discriminatory in any way.
Look at the limit on the distance of relocation in the policy (if you have one) and determine whether the individuals relocating are within the set number of miles to the new location and therefore would be eligible to receive assistance.
If you are offering a relocation package,include; often for those who need to sell their home and buy another you may pay towards legal and associated fees with the property processes. If your employee doesn’t own a property, you may look to include travel costs, time off to seek accommodation in the new location, temporary accommodation whilst finding a new property etc.
If the move is overseas, then think about the additional costs including flights, and the comparable cost of living. These circumstances require more detailed thinking so it’s important to take the time to do so.
If you are providing assistance, it is important to get a repayment plan in place for the relocation costs should they leave the business within a specific timeframe, usually over 2-3 years worked out on a sliding scale of a reduced amount over time.
Handling employees who refuse to relocate
In this instance there are two options open to you as an employer; if your employees role at it's current location no longer exists, or they are not willing to accept a reasonable alternative that is offered, in this situation their role would become redundant in its current form. This doesn’t mean they would automatically be due redundancy pay, you would need to first check some contractual details including their length of service with the company to establish whether they would be eligible for a statutory redundancy payment.
Or if you have a relocation clause you can try to rely upon that. However although these clauses may appear at face value to allow the employer to insist upon an employee changing location for work, in practice, these type of clauses are interpreted narrowly and often against the employer seeking to rely upon it.
As an employer, whichever avenue you choose to go down you must take care to ensure you are following a reasonable process when consulting with affected employees as there can be a risk of potential claims so you should always sense check whether the action you are taking would be viewed as ‘reasonable’ in light of the information that your employee is presenting when they tell you they aren’t willing to move.
Handling location change processes aren't always straightforward so if you need some guidance or support with managing yours, please get in touch with us on 0115 77 88 109 or at hello@peakhr.co.uk

At the big pool there was also an absence of carp. I found the lack of activity as strange, but figured the community was hiding on the far bank, thirty-five feet across, laying in their den, waiting for a call. So, with a roll cast I knocked on their door and they answerede short and sweet though, and in less than a minute the carp would bid farewell to this fisherman. The short, but frantic, fight aroused the rest of the community as they come to the middle of the pool to investigate.
I spotted a lone carp that looked of significant size and cast him the Carpola offering. He sucked it up right away and from thirty feet away I went for a hook-set. The hook-set was successful and the fight begin. These carp know their territory well, and with this fellow he kept going for the far bank, the root balls along that bank, and any structure he could find that would play to his advantage.
The fight came to an end ten minutes later as I immortalized the carp by picture that will go in my archives. He was a hearty fighter and very nice fish.

LeBonheur Pumpkin Run 5k Recap and Yard Work!
This race was AWESOME!! It always is, this is the 3rd year I have run in it. Before I started school, I worked at LeBonheur Children’s Hospital so I am a BIG supporter!! It was nice to see some of the old patients and co-workers at the race!! So, since I didn’t let ya’ll in on my goals for the race last night, I will now!! I really wanted to go out and run HARD! And my first goal was to run under 29:00. And my second, more harder to achieve goal, was to run 28:xx. Well, I blew both out of the water and ran a 27:23! Wohoo!! I really surprised myself! That is an average pace of 8:48 min/ mile!! I usually have trouble with this race because there are a ton of hills, but since I now live around a ton of hills and train on them, I was really able to tackle this course!
Mile 1: I was running with a friend at the beginning so we chatted the first mile or so. This race was really jam packed so we were swerving around people a lot. The first mile went by so fast I couldn’t believe it when Garmie chirped “one mile” at me! I was trying to run the first mile between a 9:30- 9:45 pace and I hit it right on with 9:43 for the first mile.
Sorry it’s a little blurry but it will do! Look how funny my hand looks! Haha. My time for my second mile was 8:41. I was really pushing it here, especially when I crossed the 2 mile marker and knew I had only 1 more mile to go!!
Mile 3-3.1: I was really pushing hard this last mile and was flying past a lot of people! It felt so good to still have a little energy left so I could really run fast!! Lots of hills on this mile too but I knew the course so I was prepared! Plus, I really do enjoy some hills!! I ran my last mile in 8:17! Here are some finishing photos!
The retarted hand again, I guess this is just how I run! You will notice it in some of the following pics also!
Here I look like I’m about to fall over sideways!! I was actually running super hard but I felt great at this point!!
Just finished!! The clock time said 28:10 but we had a super slow start!! Garmie said 27:23 for 3.1 miles and that’s my official time!!
I had a blast today!! The weather was really chilly, like 53 degrees, but felt good by then end of the race!! The t-shirt I wore is my good luck race shirt!! For some reason when the weather gets colder, I like wearing plain cotton t-shirts to run in vs. special dry-fit or cool max running shirts. Weird I know!!
On to my yard work that I did today…
The rest of the day was spent mulching my yard, building more flower beds, and planting some fall flowers!! So glad my parents were there to help me! Al lucked out and had to work today so we got it all finished without him! Haha :) Here are some pics of our hard work!!
This is one side of my front yard. Planted all those pansies today! Check out the pretty mums I have back there!! Here is a close up of the mums…
I just LOVE that color!!
She is such a sleepy head! Haha!!
Hope ya’ll had a GREAT Saturday too!! Please share any fun activities!! :)
Posted in: on Saturday, October 10, 2009 at at 6:23 PM
And your yard work looks so great. I give you a day off tomorrow, haha!!!! :)
Congrats on a great race - you demolished it!!!


Yesterday I became the surprised but proud owner of 19 broiler chicks. The details of how it came about are located here: Lacking nowhere else to put them and since my layer chicks had already introduced themselves to the broilers, we enlarged our brooder last night and joined the two groups of chicks together.had to laugh. My teeny tiny silkie has decided he's a broiler chick: And the broilers with the other chicks: I hate to break it to the silkie, but the broilers will be moving to the coop in the next few days. My original chicks will be staying on the porch a little longer.


How on earth this guys can do it? Find out here.


For your mercy upon our many "great wrestlings" and for teaching us as you did Rachel that You can "add" such great blessing to us by your own goodness and power without our great and sometimes painful wrestlings!
Paul said...    12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places . [Ephesians 6:12.]
¶ A close examination of this wonderful instruction of the spiritual warefare every believer is engaged in reveals that along with the armour  is the call of "Praying with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit" [Ephesians 6:18.] This is the real wrestle that counts and brings us into heavenly dealings with The Lord that carries us forward in his power as illustrated in the "wrestle" that Jacob had when he wrestled for The Blessing!
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. [Genesis 32:24-28.]
¶ The first mention of "supplication in The Spirit" (in Ephesians 6:18.) is concerning engaging The Lord for the personal blessing of spiritual resurrection and fullness in which we can alone advance in victory and the purpose of God as Jacob did. Putting on the "armour" is crucial but without the Power of Christ's Life the shield of faith can be dropped to the ground, or the helmet fall off!
¶ The second mention of the word "supplication" is self explanatory, it is Prayer and partition for all saints - "and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints".
¶ The root meaning of the word Supplication is to "beg (as binding oneself)" [Strong's Bible dictionery] The Lord help us greatly to "bind" ourselves to our wonderful saviour pleading in real Spirit supplication for us to become by the grace of God a "prisioner of Jesus Christ" and be mirrors of His grace and glory! The wrestle that counts is the prayer wrestle for Heavens plans and blessing. Our self interest wrestlings are a complete waste!

These concessions at King’s have had an immediate knock-on effect nationally, with the UUK agreeing to re-evaluate the cost and risk of the USS pension scheme with union oversight.
An assurance from the principal to personally “support alternative approaches to considering higher levels of risk in the valuation process in future, that aim to maintain the status quo” (i.e. no pension cuts).
A promise that pay will not be docked for workers taking action short of a strike.
King’s will “review the benefits” of bringing cleaning staff in-house, they will also “assess and consider [their] terms and conditions”.
A lot of these commitments remain vague ‘promises’ at the moment, on which King’s could easily renege. Therefore, it will be essential to keep up the pressure in coming months. However, given that just days ago King’s was blaming lecturers for ‘disrupting’ students’ degrees, threatening severe pay cuts, endorsing the rotten ACAS-negotiated deal UCU members already threw out, and refusing to even discuss bringing cleaners in-house, these are noteworthy concessions for which the strikers and students should be congratulated. It clearly shows the bosses are rattled.
This was proved after Byrne attempted to sour the broth with a follow-up email to King’s staff, in which he “regrettably” refused to endorse the UCU’s ‘no cuts’ position, and slyly contradicted the first message by saying “the pension dispute is at the heart of much of the discontent we have seen over the past four weeks” (so it is the lecturers’ fault, after all!) After an immediate pushback from unionists and student activists, he sheepishly affirmed his support for the status quo “if workable”. We obviously have him on the run!
Furthermore, based on the appalling deal the UCU’s bureaucrats cobbled together just weeks ago, UCU members can have no confidence in their leadership to fight for their interests. The recommendations of the ‘expert panel’ will be passed to the UCU’s Higher Education Committee: the same people who tried to sell us down the river with an insulting ‘compromise’ – consisting of a pension cut, rescheduling classes for free and defined contributions after three years.
