Rectors, VCs demand govt to notify Task Force on HEC
Islamabad, Feb 06: Rectors and vice chancellors representing 137 public and private sector universities on Tuesday demanded the government to notify Task Force established back in 2011 so that consultation process on Higher Education Commission Act can be initiated without any delay.
The demand came forward in the 11th Vice Chancellors' Committee meeting held at Higher Education Commission (HEC). One point agenda of the meeting was the recently proposed Private Members HEC Amendment Bill.
The vice chancellors felt that any change in the HEC Act should be according to the recommendations of the Task Force established by Prime Minister's High Powered Committee. They demanded that the Task Force may be notified so that consultation process can start without further delay. The vice chancellors also highlighted the financial problems being confronted by higher education sector.
The Task Force called 'Task Force on Higher Education and Research 2012' was a consultative forum formed in the year 2011 to review HEC Act 2002 in the post 18th Amendment constitutional scenario based on analysis of HEC performance and achievements since its establishment (2002-12), observance of global trends, requirements of national development and, wide-ranging consultations with the provinces and the stakeholders.
Chairman National Assembly Standing Committee on Education and Training Sheikh Rohale Asghar along with other committee members including Surraiya Jatoi (PPPP), Tasneem Siddiqui (PML-N), Qudsia Arshad (PML-N), Dr. Donya Aziz (PML-Q), Rukhsana Jameshed Buttar (PML-Q), Shaikh Salahuddin (MQM) and Sufyan Yousaf (MQM) attended the meeting and listened and exchanged views with the VCs relating to their reservations and concerns over the Bill.
The VCs noted that the universities have shown tremendous progress in the last decade and HEC reforms are being followed by the other countries as role model. They said that the proposed bill would have detrimental effect on the higher education sector and would revert back all the achievements gained during last decade.
The vice chancellors were of the view that the higher education sector has been a growth engine for socio-economic development of Pakistan and higher education institutions have started to play pivotal role for the well-being of Pakistani people and industrial growth through strong university-industry linkages. They said that it would be extremely unfortunate if at this point legislative step are taken without any consultation with the stakeholders.
The Chairman Sheikh Rohale Asghar and other committee members of the Standing Committee appreciated the role of HEC for socio-economic development and promotion of quality education in the country. They were of the view that any legislation that takes away the dynamism and autonomy of HEC will be damaging to the higher education sector in the country. They were of the unanimous view that HEC is one institution which has functioned extremely well and has delivered wonderful results during the last decade.
On the behalf of the committee, he categorically stated that the legislation should be based upon careful review of past progress and consultation with the relevant stakeholders so that this model organization may be further strengthened to continue its positive role.
Sheikh Rohale Asghar remarked that the committee would not undertake any step undermining the autonomy and future of higher education in Pakistan. "We will not table any bill which is damaging to the performance and will curtail the autonomy of HEC. We need to strengthen the institutions", he emphasised.
At the end of the conference, through a unanimous resolution, the vice chancellors appreciated the efforts of chairman and members of the Standing Committee on Education and Training for their deep, comprehensive understanding and their concerns about the future of higher education in the country.
They thanked the Committee for offering them the opportunity of being heard. The meeting expressed the hope that interaction of the people's representatives with the representatives of higher education would continue in future as well. The Vice Chancellors were appreciative of the assurances given by the Standing Committee that that the autonomy of HEC would not be compromised.
Speaking on this occasion, Chairperson HEC Dr Javaid Laghari extended thanks to Chairman and members of National Assembly Standing Committee on Education and Training for sparing their time to have input of the vice chancellors who are the most important stakeholder in the higher education sector.

LUMS, ministry admit lowering pass marks to adjust 'political appointees'
Islamabad: After abruptly calling back 42 commercial consulars from across the globe, the outgoing Pakistan People's Party's government is set to fill the highly important vacant posts with loyalists, especially ordering one of the country's top universities to lower the standard of their selection exams, senior officials of the university and ministry of commerce have confirmed.
Professor of Economics at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) Abid Aman Burki who supervised the test confirmed that the threshold was lowered on the orders of former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani. He also said the university would not conduct such tests in future, as it is fed up with controversies involving the process. When contacted, a senior official of the commerce ministry said the passing marks were lowered, as there were complaints that the written test was too tough. "We had no option but to lower the passing marks as the commerce ministry came up with written directions from the prime minister in this regard," Prof Burki said, explaining the reasons to relax the selection procedure. Burki, however, maintained that test was still competitive and the university did the job with integrity. He said LUMS conducted a similar test in 2005 based on 60 per cent threshold. "It is not a LUMS degree examination. We conducted this test on the request of the ministry and we had to entertain their request," Burki maintained.
The strange move has left dozens of Pakistani foreign missions in some key economies of the world without commercial consulars formonths, jeopardising the country's trade ties with key global players. Even the future trade prospects do not appear very bright with a big question mark on the competence of the replacing officers. According to sources, the Lahore University of Management Sciences had been directed by the government to lower the 60 per cent threshold to 40 per cent to allow the incompetent candidates to pass the written test. If this was not enough, the university also refrained from revealing the marks of successful candidates on the directions of the commerce ministry.
Only the interview committee headed by the commerce minister and PPP stalwart Makhdoom Amin Faheem knew the exact marks obtained by each candidate. The LUMS professor also admitted that the university was asked by the ministry not to reveal the marks obtained by the successful candidates. "We usually let the candidates see their marks but this time we were asked by the ministry not to do so." However Burki strongly refuted claims that the university shared the question paper with the ministry ahead of test. He said 278 candidates appeared in the written exam and 206 passed the test by obtaining 40 per cent marks. The successful candidates appear for interview before a committee headed by Makhdoom Amin Fahim. "It is difficult to get the required number of officers if we continue with 60 per cent passing marks," said Kabir Qazi, a joint secretary at the commerce ministry who is also working as the ministry's official spokesperson. He said the selection of commercial consulars was at the final stage and the process is expected to be completed within days. When asked about the political influence in the appointment process, Qazi said politics is not a bad thing. "The chairman of the selection committee is the minister of commerce who is a politician. Politics is not a bad thing," he repeated. He claimed the selection process was fair as officials from multiple ministries were involved in interview of the candidates.
However, another senior ministry official said that abrupt recall of the commercial consulars from foreign missions without their replacement does not bode well for the country's trade objectives. "The proper procedure was to first appoint the new officers before recalling the senior officers. There must be proper handing over to ensure the trade ties with other countries do not suffer," he said. The sources said the current stalemate in the appointment of commercial consulars has resulted from intense wrangling within the party's influential circles about the exact number of posts to be allotted to each party stalwart.

At Wednesday's inaugural post-election Legislative Assembly meeting, Cayman Islands Finance Minister Marco Archer not only declared the end of unemployment, but detailed an interim budget of nearly $194 million through 31 October.
The interim budget was approved unanimously by lawmakers late Wednesday afternoon.
Forecasting a "significant operating surplus" by the close of the 2013/14 fiscal year on 30 June, 2014, Mr. Archer listed broad expenditures, the largest of which was $153.5 million for "output groups", services supplied to government by various departments throughout the year.
Among the highlights were another $13.6 million for "transfer payments", such as scholarships, housing assistance and poor relief; almost $8 million to finance government debt; $6.6 million for "other executive expenses" such as salaries, medical care, pensions and expenses for the judiciary, the premier, the governor, legislators and the financial secretary; and nearly $9 million in "equity expenses", which includes payments to the various ministries, a $1.7 million subsidy to Cayman Airways, $2.7 million for the Turtle Farm, $600,000 for the National Housing Development Trust and various sums for CINICO, the Office of the Premier and various statutory authorities.
Mr. Archer also announced a $30 million overdraft facility for the 1 July to 31 October interim period. The overdraft is a short-term loan used to bridge the gap during government's lower-earning revenue months of July through November.
"We have a $15 million bank account," he said, boosted by the overdraft, "making a balance that adds up to $45 million." Coupled with non-cash outgo of $8.5 million in depreciation allowances for fixed and long-term assets, Mr. Archer said, government expected an overall deficit – pegged at $56 million – to be reduced to only $2.5 million at the end of the interim period on 31 October.
"That overdraft is adequate to deal with a possible $56 million deficit [during the four-month period]," he assured the chamber, saying any shortfalls during the four-month period "should not cause alarm. They are perfectly normal."
Government expenditures between July and October, he said, traditionally outpaced revenues. January through March, he said, "is when government revenues far outstrip expenditures – and the full-year budget shows a significant operating surplus", although he stopped short of naming a figure. Cautioning that the July through October budget did not comprise one-third of the 2013/14 accounts, Mr. Archer said the administration would "encourage savings", while the local economy "had rebounded to a full-employment level".
The government's current budget year ends on Sunday. Mr. Archer said he expected the 2012/13 budget cycle to end with an operating surplus, but again would not commit to naming a specific figure. Earlier estimates from April had put the surplus number at $51 million – down from the $82 million surplus former Premier McKeeva Bush's government had projected last year.
The Legislative Assembly will meet sometime in mid-September to review the full year budget for 2013/14, Premier Alden McLaughlin said.
However, there are a few matters to clear up prior to the regular budget meeting.
Mr. McLaughlin revealed Wednesday that some "exceptional expenditures" from the previous United Democratic Party administration, dating back as far as mid-2009, had not been approved in supplementary appropriations before the LA's Finance Committee. Although the money for most of those items has likely already been spent, Mr. McLaughlin said some "cleaning up" was required for those items.
He did not specify exactly what "exceptional expenditures" had not received approval. It was expected the special Finance Committee meeting would be called sometime in August.
Public-private partnership?
Mr. McLaughlin told the House that the previous UDP budget had set "overly ambitious" targets to reduce spending and investment, stifling the rebound in the Cayman economy.
"We believe a more gradual phased approach should be taken," he said.
Without detailing any financing arrangements, Mr. McLaughlin nonetheless named downtown cruise ship berthing and airport expansion as his top priorities and alluded cryptically to "another major infrastructure project that would be structured as a public-private partnership" serving as a "catalyst for economic development in the eastern districts".
Revenue raising, the premier said, should not burden the private sector, discouraging investment. Streamlining performance at statutory authorities and government-owned companies could offer savings.
Public debt would be refinanced, he said, moving away from "interest-only bullet bond-type borrowing instruments", and creating a "sinking fund" to pay off "non-amortised debt as it comes due". He also reiterated administration opposition to any form of taxation, saying "we stand behind the Cayman model and do not support the introduction of income tax, payroll tax, property tax or value-added tax".

Rings are the most numerous survival of all medieval jewellery. The Victoria and Albert Museum has an impressive collection, with signet rings, bejeweled rings, rings shaped like lions, rings as broaches, and rings as love letters. Rings represented a whole range of relationships. They were given at betrothals and marriages, but also as less formal declarations of love, friendship, or political allegiance. With so many rings surviving, at first glance there might not seem anything particularly remarkable about this specific object. Yet my research has shown this ring is far from typical – from the material used to the message engraved both literally and metaphorically on the object, this ring tells a unique and intriguing story.
The ring in question was made in France around the fifteenth century. It consists of a gold hoop and an onyx cameo held in a scalloped setting. The cameo is of a female bust in profile. She wears an elaborately wrapped headdress which ties under her chin, executed in great detail, and a frankly quite low-cut dress. The onyx itself is layered in black and white, the white layer providing the bust and the black the contrasting background. Inside the hoop is an inscription, written in French in Gothic blackletter script which reads, 'dung + seul + regart + vous + doibt + suffire', or 'You must be satisfied with just one glance'. Rings engraved with inscriptions such as this were known as posies, from the word for poetry, and were given as love tokens in the late medieval period.
Whilst the use of gold to make rings was typical among the wealthy in this period, the use of onyx was far less common. The difficulty in obtaining it, the extensive skill required to work it, and consequently the cost of acquiring such a finely worked stone are all possible reasons why onyx might have been coveted for a piece of jewellery, but indeed also why it was rarely used. Shell was far cheaper and far easier to carve than onyx, and was thus more common, but this cannot be the only reason why onyx was neglected.[1] We can gain further insight into contemporary thoughts about onyx by looking at medieval lapidaries – texts which describe the virtues and symbolic significance of precious stones, as well as their magical and medicinal qualities. From these texts we can see that some unusual ideas about onyx were circulating in this period. Marbode of Rennes in his eleventh-century text, De Lapidibus, claimed onyx was capable of forming spirits in sleep and causing nightmares – 'Called by the Onyx round the sleeper stand | Black dreams, and phantoms rise, a grisly band'. Marbode also cautioned that, suspended around the neck or, significantly, bound to the finger, the wearer will be 'plagued with strife and with evil frays'.[2] Similarly Albertus Magnus, writing in the thirteenth century, warned that onyx 'induces sorrow and fear',[3] whilst Ibn al-Baitar, an Islamic scientist, born in Malaga, Spain, at the end of the twelfth century, wrote that onyx brought sorrow, bad dreams, and discord.[4]
What was the function of such a ring? As well as being worn simply as a fashionable status piece, rings often marked special occasions or poignant moments in a person's life, and they therefore held great emotional and personal value alongside their financial worth. Rings were given to mark betrothals or marriage, but it seems unlikely that this ring was given in this capacity. Whilst precious gems were fashionable in wedding rings, onyx does not appear to have been used. Certain gems had associated beliefs that made them particularly suitable for marriage rings. Rubies were believed to promote health, combat lust, and reconcile discord, whilst sapphires were said to encourage marital chastity. Yet the beliefs that surrounded onyx hardly suited marriage. Moreover, the inscription would be an unusual choice for a marriage. Posies were common on love rings, and the most popular messages, such as 'amor vincit omnia' (love conquers all), 'mon cuer avez' (you have my heart') or 'sans departier' (without being parted), could all have been intended for marriage rings. Yet the inscription on this ring is much more unusual and somewhat flirtatious. 'Dung seul regart vous doibt suffire' (you must be satisfied with just one glance), would be wholly inappropriate when marriage was largely defined by consummation and the conception of children.
It is still possible this ring was a love token, but for a love that could not be acted upon. The flirtatious posy hidden within the hoop of the ring, the portrait of a scantily clad young woman, and the melancholic associations of onyx all suggest it could have marked such a relationship. Exchanges of love tokens without the formality of a betrothal were not unusual. A major theme in medieval ideal of courtly love, thought to have originated from the romantic poetry of the Troubadours of southern France from the late eleventh century, was the giving of gifts between knights and ladies as love tokens. Andreas Capellanus, who wrote the twelfth-century text De Amore, advised that, 'a lady can accept from her love whatever small gift may be useful in the care of her person, or may look charming, or may remind her of her lover'.[5] It was not just men who gave gifts. In the twelfth century Marie de France explained the gift giving process in her Lais Eliduc. 'If you love him […] send him a girdle, a ribbon or a ring, for this will please him. If he receives it gladly […] then you will be sure of his love.'[6]
The idea of 'looking' as a way of satisfying love with 'just one glance' is also interesting. In The Medieval Art of Love, Michael Camille emphasised the power of the eye in medieval conceptions of love and passion. Looking, Camille argued, was 'an act charged with danger as well as pleasure.'[7] There was a strong belief that 'looking' was responsible for stimulating desire – Andreas Capellanus went as far as arguing that blind people were incapable of feeling this kind of love.[8] The message of the ring could be interpreted as warning against these kinds of amorous looks. However, the erotic nature of the low-cut dress the woman wears makes it unlikely the ring was intended as a token of a pure or chaste love. Décolleté styles such as this, perhaps made popular by the Charles VII of France's mistress, Agnės Sorel, were an overt display of fecundity and beauty, not chastity.[9] Moreover, that there was a belief that an image could be used as a substitution for the woman, enabling love to continue despite a separation, is also possible – in Guillaume de Machaut's poem, Le Livre du Voir-Dit, the protagonist conducts a love affair with the image of his fifteen year old betrothed who sends him her portrait.[10] A gift or love token to a lover but not a betrothed, the ring was perhaps a means of both representing and enabling an amorous relationship.
Overall, this ring is a complex piece of jewellery, layered with meaning. Beliefs about precious stones, the fashion for posies, and the proliferation of an idealized and highly codified view of courtly love, in which the giving of love tokens was a prominent feature, all helped mould the shape this ring took, and the message it holds. Whilst we cannot know for certain if the ring ever fulfilled its intended function, it can help us understand the social, cultural, and ritualistic contexts surrounding love and gift giving in the late medieval period.

The Internet Hates The New York Times for Its Shameless Egg Stunt
As part of its effort to capitalize on how hot it was yesterday, The New York Times' City Room blog came up a fun-ish bit of stunt journalism: Blogger Andy Newman tries to fry an egg on the sidewalk!
The bit shouldn't surprise followers of City Room. After all, this is the same blog that asked readers for their photos of subway rats not too long ago. Nevertheless, the Internet quickly descended on Times reporter Andy Newman for his failings as an egg chef and as a comedy journalist. See, the egg didn't fry, in part because — some suppose — the egg was in a frying pan! According to lore, of course, the egg belongs on the sidewalk proper.
Some examples of the heat the Times is taking:
• A possibly double-sarcastic Gawker: "Oh New York Times, why even try anymore. Just roll over and die, because you are old and never fun anymore."
• A scientifically dubious but cliché-adept criticism from the NYTPicker: "The cliche clearly states that the egg must be fried on the sidewalk. Not on a pan. That's because the heat you need to fry an egg comes from under the egg, not from above it. At least, that's how it works in our kitchen!"
• The Awl: "At least they didn't use the word "eggsperiment in the headline"; "With NYC temperatures expected to be soul-suckingly high once again today, I'm wondering if it's time to find a car and convince its owner to let me bake cookies on its dashboard."
• An NYTimes.com commenter: "you're supposed to fry the egg ON the sidewalk. not in a PAN. wussies."
Perhaps predictably, few onlookers have voiced concerns about Benedicta Torres, the woman who bravely ate the semi-cooked egg out of the journalists' frying pan.

Part of a late-nineteenth-century campaign to eradicate Native cultures and communities, these institutions became arenas where whites debated the terms of Indian citizenship, but also where Native peoples resisted the power of white schooling and claimed new skills to protect and redefine tribal and Indian identities. In White Man's Club, schools for Native children are examined within the broad framework of race relations in the United States for the first time. Jacqueline Fear-Segal analyzes multiple schools and their differing agendas and engages with the conflicting white discourses of race that underlay their pedagogies. She argues that federal schools established to Americanize Native children did not achieve their purpose; instead they progressively racialized American Indians. A far-reaching and bold account of the larger issues at stake, White Man's Club challenges previous studies for overemphasizing the reformers' overtly optimistic assessment of the Indians' capacity for assimilation and contends that a covertly racial agenda characterized this educational venture from the start. Asking the reader to consider the legacy of nineteenth-century acculturation policies, White Man's Club incorporates the life stories and voices of Native students and traces the schools' powerful impact into the twenty-first century. Fear-Segal draws upon a rich array of source material. Traditional archival research is interwoven with analysis of maps, drawings, photographs, the built environment, and supplemented by oral and family histories. Creative use of new theoretical and interpretive perspectives brings fresh insights to the subject matter. Excerpt There was a feeling among our people that some of our young menshould be educated so that they could read and write and understandwhat was written in the treaties and old documents in our possession.… Or, as one chief put it, "it would enable us to use the club of whiteman's wisdom against him in defense of our customs and our Meesaw-mi as given us by the Great Spirit.—Thomas Wildcat Alford, CivilizationTHIS OLD SHAWNEE CHIEF, optimistic about the advantages to be gained from white schooling, uses "club" unambiguously. For him it is a weapon, a means to power he would like his people to acquire. Today, the reader of "white man's club" inevitably perceives it as a racial enclave, with implications of self-definition and self-assertion gained through restricted access and privilege. Nor is it inappropriate to read these implications back into the nineteenth century, where they serve as synecdochic representations of larger, national concerns; the 'club' extends to a society and a culture and access appears as acculturation with its own agendas and prohibitions while exclusion carries singular penalties.In the final quarter of the nineteenth century, the federal government enrolled thousands of Native American children in white-run schools in a campaign to eradicate native cultures and communities and incorporate all Indians, as individuals, into the United States. This book explores how these schools, supposedly established to educate native children for citizenship, became arenas where whites debated the terms of that citizenship and where native peoples, struggling in this convoluted context against the total erasure of their cultures, claimed, adapted, or . . .

To begin with, it was my first experience with a military mission for the EU. This was a great reminder about my first experience as a Portuguese army officer between 1985 and 1987.
Secondly, it was also a return to Africa, after living and working in Mozambique for four years in my previous career, which made it much easier for me to adapt to the realities and needs of this country. Even though Africa is a very diverse continent with a multitude of cultures, this previous experience from Mozambique had prepared me to be open to ways of thinking and acting that are different to my own.
Cooperating with the Central African authorities proved to be extremely easy. It was based on a mutual trust, and we all were aware of how much remains to be done and inspired by the will to promote change. Furthermore, it was evident that the constant involvement of these authorities and the society as a whole were essential to achieve structural reform.
Another great experience of this period was the close cooperation with the international partners present in CAR, notably with MINUSCA/UNPOL, the UNDP, EUDEL, as well as the Embassies of France and the USA. With these partners relationships were established beyond those of mere coordination work, which translated into a real added value in our joint work in the support for the development of the security sector.
Last but not least, I would like to highlight the close ties that developed with the colleagues of the EUTM RCA. I can say that I always obtained unconditional support from my colleagues, which made me feel privileged to belong to a such a dedicated team.
While advising the Central African authorities in the framework of EUTM RCA, the needs of the security sector became clear to me as well as the privileged partnership of the European Union in this sector. With this in mind, all the work carried out by the EUTM RCA's Interoperability Cell during the nine months I served in the country, left me with a strong conviction to continue supporting its development. I believe that we need to ensure more and better security for the population and further enhance the already excellent image of the European Union in the country.
I feel honoured that I have been selected as head of the latest civilian CSDP mission (the 11th) and I am aware of the enormous responsibility and the challenges ahead.
The Central African authorities have always expressed their wish for the deployment of a civilian mission from the European Union, with the characteristics and size that the EUAM RCA will have.
Secondly, local authorities expressed their regret to see some of their interlocutors from the Interoperability Cell of the EUTM RCA leaving which deprived them of valuable support for their reform efforts in the security sector. In a way, EUAM RCA is going to continue and widen the work that has been initiated by the EUTM Interoperability Cell. For my part, I have always assured local authorities that the EUAM RCA is already up and running despite the fact that it has not yet been deployed to the Central African Republic because of the COVID-19 pandemic. I have emphasised that the Mission was doing everything in its power to leave as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the Mission has already established working relations with Central African counterparts on the ground. I believe that these regular contacts with the Central African authorities have significantly increased the mission's credibility in the eyes of our counterparts. The unprecedented speed in which the SOMA was concluded proves both, the expectations, and the trust the Central Africans put in our mission.
To answer this question, I would like to highlight that the EUAM RCA is not completely unknown to our international partners in CAR. For instance, we exchange with the international partners every week through our strategic adviser on public security, a French Gendarmerie officer who was already working for the EUTM RCA Interoperability Cell. This level of cooperation has greatly facilitated the integration of the new Mission in the international support frame for the CAR, being seen from the very beginning as an equal partner. I am convinced that once on the ground we will further deepen and develop this already fruitful cooperation.
Personal and direct contacts with the Central African authorities are the key for a successful mission. Building relationships of mutual trust will lay the groundwork to the development and implementation of our mandate, requiring from all mission members but especially from our strategic advisers sensitivity, the capacity to listen but also persistence; without these qualities it might become difficult to achieve our objectives.
Another essential factor for the success of the Mission is the awareness that the reform and development of the security sector and the internal security forces (ISF) will depend on the level of local ownership and buy-in. Nothing can be imposed, and a sustainable reform process requires the full commitment of the local authorities.
During the first year it is essential to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the realities of the security sector in the CAR. In addition to the gendarmerie and police, the existing coordination patterns with the other key players in the country needs to be clarified, including the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Justice, the prison system, Customs, Water and Forestry as well as the Civil Protection.
After this initial phase, the next step is to assess, together with the Central African authorities, their planning needs. Then we can start to enhance our interlocutor's capacity to reform the security sector through tailormade strategic advice. It is therefore essential that during the first year of our mandate, the security sector of the CAR is fully on-board with the need to revise the ISF Programming Law.
First, the operational planning to launch the Mission was extensive. This planning was undertaken in Brussels and led by the CPCC, the operational headquarters of the 11 civilian CSDP Missions. My sincere thank goes to the entire Planning Team, led by Ms Birgit Loeser as Acting Civilian Operations Commander, that worked very hard for the Mission to reach now Initial Operational Capability.
Now to the situation in the Central African Republic: The country is perceived as a country far-away, with a fragile security situation and a struggling health sector. This work environment is even for a CSDP mission challenging. I am therefore grateful for the contributions made by Member States which put forward, even during the current pandemic, a number of highly qualified and motivated candidates. And I would like to highlight the professionalism, excellent team spirit and dedication of the staff that has joined the Mission so far. However, in order to implement its mandate, the EUAM RCA will require even more support from member states in the future.
The COVID-19 pandemic affects us all in our daily lives in Europe and the situation will be no different in the process of launching this new mission. The decision to send an advance team to the RCA will allow the quarantine requirements to be respected while simultaneously the team can continue its work. The objective is to fulfil as soon as possible all the necessary conditions for the Council to declare the initial operational capability (IOC) of the Mission and its consequent launch. To this end, the advance team includes staff to guarantee the necessary security conditions, as well as logistical and IT means. It was no less important to ensure that the strategic advisers who have been working on the drafting of the mission implementation plan (MIP) since the beginning are also part of this team. This allows us to place each of them with our key Central African interlocutors, namely the Ministry of the Interior, the National Gendarmerie and the Central African Police.
The team will be accompanied by medical staff to provide immediate medical support on the ground if needed. We have also made preliminary agreements for medical support with partner organisations, which will be formalised after our arrival to the CAR. In addition to these arrangements, the Embassy of France has also assured us of its medical support.,
We have also made arrangements for a MEDEVAC to evacuate mission members in case of an emergency.
Thank you very much.

Our second project with Haglöfs in as many years. And as special as our 2017 film in Oppland was, the visit to Terschelling and our 24-hour micro-adventure was just as amazing, in a very different way. Where the vast and empty wilderness of Norway's Oppland region is one every outdoor enthusiast just wants to head into, a little island off the coast of one of the most crowded, urbanized countries in the world (the Netherlands) is a destination that is less likely to get your heart beating overly fast.
But we discovered that emptiness, silence, fresh air, and beautiful nature can also be found in those unlikely places. And if you take time to slow down, and immerse yourself, albeit for 24 hours, you can step out of your daily life, recharge, reset and come back feeling as if you've been gone a week.
The trend towards micro adventures has been growing gradually. More and more people realizing it does not always have to be about far-away, inaccessible, mountain high or river deep, but that the adventure also lies in escaping from the hectic pace of our daily lives. Of finding the silence in yourself.
Haglöf is a brand that once again, trusted us to make content that is close to our heart, and close to the heart of everybody who loves outdoor. The branding in the video is quite subtle, but not hidden away. The attention to a special product integrated into the narrative in an organic natural way.
Jeffry's insights into what makes a micro-adventure seem as natural and uncomplicated as they are profound and inspired. The imagery of nature and the joy of one husky does the rest.

January: The Worst Month To Make Health Resolutions
We do it every year. The first rolls around and – even if we promised ourselves not to – we make resolutions. Resolutions to be healthier, too work out more, to eat better… Little do we know we're setting ourselves up for failure, because January is the worse possible month to makehealth resolutions.
I know what you're thinking: "but it felt so right!"
And it always does. We're just coming off the high of surviving another crazy family Christmas, we've probably got some new – even health related – gadgets to try out, and everyone else is doing it.
Which is exactly why you shouldn't.
According to the U.S. News & World Report, 80% of new year's resolutions fail by February. Don't feel bad, there's no judgement here. But how could something you feel so passionately about fail so quickly?
Part of the reason for this failure comes down to emotions.
Winter is the holiday marathon season. In just over a month the three biggest holidays are covered with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. There are a lot of emotions involved. Whether you love everything about the season or loath it entirely, emotional energy is spent. More than just a few days can recuperate.
Most of us look forward to the new year's festivities — they can be a total blast. But even if you're indifferent (parent to young child here – we were in bed by 9pm) there are a lot of highs and lows during the season. Which is never a good time to make a serious decision, even if intentions are noble.
Scientists are aware the emotional high following a big decision wanes after about four or five days. Coupled with seasonal stress and those holiday highs-and-lows we just mentioned, many of us are zapped for motivation a week into January.
And let's look at the month of January itself.
Typically, it's cold, dark and dreary. Not exactly the most supportive ambiance for making lifestyle changes.
Then there's Blue Monday, which has been coined the most depressing day of the year. It typically lands on the third Monday of the month and has to do primarily with the seasonal dreariness and incoming Christmas credit card bills.
All of that to say, there is still no shame in making resolutions on the first.
If it helps you get through the winter and meet your goals, more power to you! As for the rest of us…maybe we'll just hunker down with a good book and set our goals in the spring.

California Will Require All New Homes to Have Solar Panels
The new bill is critical to the state's broader environmental efforts.
Californians may soon have cheaper utility bills.
That's because the state passed a law on Wednesday that requires all new homes to have solar panels, according to the New York Times.
The bill, which takes effect in 2020, is the most ambitious of its kind in the US. Other states have considered similar proposals, and Hawaii has mandated comparable energy efficiency measures, but no other state has made solar energy a prerequisite for new construction, as the Times notes.
The measure will be central to the state's goal of getting 50% of its electricity from renewable sources and cutting its carbon emissions by 40% by 2030, according to Bloomberg.
Take Action: Ensure All Communities Can Withstand Climate Disaster
"Under these new standards, buildings will perform better than ever, at the same time they contribute to a reliable grid," Andrew McAllister, the California Energy Commission's lead on energy efficiency, said in a press release.
"The buildings that Californians buy and live in will operate very efficiently while generating their own clean energy," he added. "They will cost less to operate, have healthy indoor air and provide a platform for 'smart' technologies that will propel the state even further down the road to a low emissions future."

The bill requires new homes to generate two to three kilowatts of solar energy, while the standard residential solar set-up generally creates double or triple that amount, according to the Times.
Once implemented, the standards will add an estimated $8,000 to $12,000 to the cost of a home, at a time when affordable housing remains out of reach for many Californians.

However, state officials claim the electricity savings brought about by the solar panels will more than make up for the increased building costs. The energy commission projects that monthly mortgage payments will increase by $40, while heating, cooling, and lighting bills will decrease by $80.
The solar industry stands to benefit substantially from this announcement, according to the New York Times, as solar installations are projected to rise by 44%
"This is a very large market expansion for solar," Lynn Jurich, co-founder and CEO of Sunrun, a leading solar installation company, told the Times. "It's very cost effective to do it this way, and customers want it."
California already has the country's leading solar market, with 86,000 people employed in the industry, and 16% of its electricity coming from the renewable source, the Hill reports.

As more homes and buildings cultivate the sun's rays, the state's energy grid will be able to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
Ultimately, the new bill is a response to the growing urgency of climate change.
California's Environmental Protection Agency released a report earlier this week that details the devastating environmental impacts the state has endured over the past few decades.
"Climate change is not a conceptual or theoretical challenge. The evidence is overwhelming — universities and scientists worldwide agree — that climate change is all too real," Matthew Rodriquez, California secretary for environmental protection, said in a statement.
"There is no time for political posturing and partisan debate," he added. "We have to respond to this challenge now, while preparing for an uncertain future."
Read More: New Report Shows How Badly Climate Change Is Hurting California
By boldly betting on solar power, the state may encourage other states to follow its lead.
"This adoption of these standards represents a quantum leap," Bob Raymer, senior engineer for the California Building Industry Association, said during the public comments before the vote on the new law. "You can bet every state will be watching to see what happens."

Jessa's Natural Birth Story
Jessa is the first of her siblings to be born at home. Her mom, Lisa, is a strong woman with a military background who had always been induced and delivered at the hospital. This time she wanted something different. With the support of her husband Nick, Lisa sought out midwife (now retired) Marianne M. I was fortunate to serve as Marianne's assistant for Jessa's birth.
Written in her own words, this is Lisa's story.
On August 31 at 7:30am I started having contractions about 5 minutes apart. I was really excited because I was 9 days late and was really ready to meet my little baby! I called Marianne, Shannen and Christen and Deborah (my friend) and they came over. My contractions slowed and Marianne told me to lay down and rest and then they pretty much stopped. At that point Marianne and the other midwives left. Deborah stayed. I was feeling really disappointed and sad so Deborah suggested we walk around Home Goods to take my mind off of it and possibly start things up again. We left for Home Goods around 1pm.
As we walked around I started feeling a lot of pressure and my contractions started up again. They progressed pretty quickly in the 90 minutes we walked around. When we left the store we made a stop at Deborah's house so she could nurse her baby. I had downloaded an app to help track my contractions. They were steadily 3-4 minutes apart for the next hour. We went back to my house at around 5pm I called the midwives and asked them to come back. Shannen was first to arrive and that is about when my transition
contractions began.
Deborah and Shannen were coaching me through the contractions. Shannen called Marianne and Marianne said that I could get in the tub. I wanted to wait until Marianne got to the house and did the exam before I got in. She came, did the exam, and then I got in the tub. My contractions were very strong and about a minute apart. At about 7:25 Marianne decided to break my water. It burned really bad when she did and the burning feeling didn't go away until Jessa was delivered. I got back in the tub immediately after she broke my waters and that's when things got crazy! I wasn't fully dilated but my body was ready to push and there was no way I could stop it! Jessa was born in the tub at about 7:30pm. Holding her made all that pain totally worth it!
…my body was ready to push and there was no way I could stop it!
I got out of the tub to deliver the placenta. I remember being surprised that I was still feeling contractions. I even asked Shannen why I was still in pain. (You don't feel any contractions when you deliver the placenta when you have an epidural.). After the placenta was delivered Christen and Shannen helped me get cleaned up and showered. Marianne, Nick, Deborah and my mom were out in the living room. Nick was holding the baby. After Marianne stitched me up and checked me out we weighed Jessa and got all her measurements. She was 9 pounds 5 ounces, 21 inches long. My second biggest baby!
*Labor Notes
During Lisa's pregnancy, Jessa was well protected by the very strong bag of waters Lisa's body built. Jessa was fully engaged when Lisa's water was broken by the midwife. Doing so at a later stage in labor prevented the possibility of cord prolapse. It also allowed Jessa to move downward more forcefully which, being born 5 minutes later, she was clearly ready to do. This sudden pressure caused the "burning sensation" Lisa experienced.

(Updated Quali) Technical innovation is what makes Formula 1 so different from any other form of racing. The on track action is as much played out by the engineers and aerodynamicists as it is the drivers. We are here to admire, study, and discuss this beauty that exists on the ragged edge of what we think is possible, or at least what we thought was possible.
For more technical intrigue, be sure to check out this year's previous Gran Prix.
This post will be updated as the weekend progresses. Discussions and questions are welcomed and encouraged in the comments section below.

Rear view of the F14T's front wing.
F14T blown wheel nut detail. The ginormous (that's a technical term...) duct on the left funnels air to both the brake itself and straight out for "blowing." Note the split carbon section inside the duct.
F14T bulkhead detail. Note the step in the chassis.
F14T sans engine cover or floor. Note the expanding exhaust outlet.
Ferrari are running a new single pylon rear wing support on the centerline, contrasted to the old version as seen in the previous picture with two supports.
Less obstruction of the air = Less drag (at least in this case).
The new pylon is an inverted Y shape that splits just before the exhaust and connects to the rear crash structure.
Ferrari are also running a Y75 winglet this weekend, one of the last teams to implement one. The Y75 winglet (often called a monkey seat) creates a low pressure underneath the winglet; this low pressure then pulls the exhaust gasses upwards to help connect the upwash of the rear wing and the rear diffuser, effectively creating a single entity of upwash.

Wait... what's that on the Caterham? Let's move in closer...
A second winglet just below the exhaust?! Is that legal?
Also note the winglets preceding the bodywork that connects the rear crash structure to the diffuser; for most teams this is just a single sheet of carbon (the most rearwards on the Caterham).
Something innovative from the Caterham outfit; didn't see that coming...

I've changed the operating system of my PC into Windows 8. In this case I had to load my FINALE 2011. The program have asked now twice for registration and I have sent my registration information twice, too. In spite of that, the system hasn't accepted my registration even though it has been OK in the past. I have had several versions of Finale for a long time (first was Finale 4, after that Finale 2001 and Finale 2007) and I have every time used the original registration code which I got from CodaMusic (Germany). This is now not accepted and I dont know how to register my Finale 2011 for the computer I am using now. Can you help me?
It's generally wrong to paste registration codes on a public place where everyone has access to. There is a possibility your code can't be used on multiple machines. I recommend contacting the ones who sold you the application. Explain the situation and a new code will be issued to you.

January is, without a doubt, the worst of the twelve months. It is just slightly above "what day does it end this year" February and "ugh, I'm so over this heat" July, but the cold and post-holiday hangover make January the perfect month to get away from that old scenery and relax someplace new and exciting. It can be some Caribbean beach framed by sand, sun, cocktails (and crowds) or it can be someplace that is still in the chilly grasp of winter. After all, snow seems vastly more interesting when it is framing some historic landmark. The location could be anywhere that travellers have always wanted to go, but there are places around the world that are far more interesting during the month of January.
Get a Taste of Second Christmas in Malaga, Spain
Have you ever wanted to watch a crowd of men jump into freezing water after wooden crucifixes? No? Well, Spain is still great in January regardless. A large portion of Spain, as well as many Orthodox countries in Europe, gives Gregorian calendar followers from abroad a chance to travel and catch Christmas again. While some regions celebrate both, Orthodox areas celebrate Christmas twelve days after December 25th on the Epiphany. Visitors to Malaga on January 5th and 6th will see the Epiphany done with Andalusian flair. Visitors and locals alike flood City Centre on January 5th to watch the Kings (the Three Wise Men from biblical lore) arrive at port where the children queue up to read the them a letter asking them to bring them gifts, not unlike children do for Santa Claus in shopping malls back home.
Afterwards, the parade begins, travelling from Paseo del Parque to the Ayuntamiento (the town hall). Visitors can enjoy watching the three kings Gaspar, Melchior, and Baltasar as they ride through the streets, tossing gifts and candy into the crowd followed by a colorful prcession. After the parade and into January 6th the town is alive with festivities. Guests can enjoy the stylings of illusionists, singers, dancers, and other performers in the streets outside of packed shops and restaurants.
The city also hosts the tradition of young men jumping into the freezing port water to fetch a wood crucifix. The man that brings it back to the priest gets a blessing for him and his family.
Visitors can also head to other countries like Greece or Eastern Europe for Epiphany celebrations, but those are less spectacle and more for local families. Visitors certainly won't bump into the tourist crowds, but during the Epiphany, most businesses and attractions are closed.
Embrace Your Inner Viking at Up Helly Aa in Lerwick, Scotland
While Scotland may not have the Nordic culture of say, Norway, Shetland Island in Scotland celebrates their Norse heritage each year by throwing one of the more famous Scandinavian-themed festivals in the world. Up Helly Aa is a fire festival whose torches and traditional longship burning is assured to keep visitors warm during a chilly night on the island. The biggest attraction of Up Helly Aa is watching the gloriously-clad band of Viking warriors, called the Jarl Squad, marching through the streets and recreating history. These men drag a longship out, expertly made by craftsmen each year, for thousands of people to toss torches in and watch as it burns to cinders.
The holiday marks the end of the yule season, taking place each year 24 days after Christmas. Although Up Helly Aa wasn't always so Nordic, it morphed into longship burnings over the years to honor the island's history. It has always been a night for folk to get rowdy, though, and has always involved some form of fire. Visitors to the Lerwick on Shetland Island will find a brighter festival than any other with plenty of fire and spectacle to keep them entertained.
Hang with Camels at the Bikaner Camel Festival in Rajasthan, India
Those seeking a January festival enjoy while on vacation that is a little warmer than Spain or Scotland will want to make their way to Bikaner in Rajasthan, India's largest state. The annual festival on January 22nd is dedicated to the giant humped beast of burden that would make the desert incomplete - the camel.
The Bikaner Camel Festival opens with a parade of colorfully bedecked camels set against the equally colorful backdrop of the red Junagarh Fort. Throughout the festival, visitors will be treated to camel racing, camel milking demonstrations, and camel fur designs. Camel traders and craftsmen converge on the city to sell camel-themed and local souvenirs. Visitors with particularly adventurous tastes should give the camel cheeses and assortment of other food at the festival a try.
When night falls on the festival, the entertainment doesn't skip a beat. While the camels are shrouded in darkness, visitors can look forward to skirt-swirling dancers, fire spinners, and fireworks that light up the night.
Spend a Chilly Night in Sweden's ICEHOTEL
Love winter? Love every second of its blinding white, freezing cold glory? Well then that January vacation doesn't need to be a warm escape, but let's face it, if you want to winter vacation somewhere cold, it better be awesome. There are few cold places more awesome than the town of Jukkasjärvi, located 200km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish Lapland. If this were 1988, no one would even know where Jukkasjärvi was, but because of the worldwide sensation of ICEHOTEL, the town has become a hotspot for extra-cold, exciting vacations.
Every year in the frigid Swedish winter, workers and artisans alike cut mammoth-sized blocks of ice from the Torne River and build them into a hotel entirely made of ice. Visitors can look forward to sleeping on a bed made of ice, some of the most beautiful ice sculptures in the world sitting right in their room, and fascinating trips to the bathroom. While ICEHOTEL has a regular hotel with rooms not made from ice for those who can't take the cold, a night in ICEHOTEL is a night not easily forgotten.
Those who need a little more activity than just enjoying their hotel room can enjoy ice sculpting lessons, learn about native Sami culture (some of the last nomads in the world), enjoy excellent Nordic saunas, gaze at the Aurora Borealis, and indulge in dog-sledding tours as well as traditional winter spots like skiing and snowmobiling all located close to ICEHOTEL.

Whale Watch in Baja California, Mexico
Why fight the crowds for a swathe of beach in Cancun or Riviera Nayrit, there is something more interesting going on elsewhere in Mexico. January marks the beginning of the peak season for the whale migration to the Pacific side of Mexico. Thousands of pregnant females head into the warm, nutrient-rich waters on both the east and west side of the Baja California peninsula in order to birth and raise their young. While Grey Whales enjoy the lagoons on the west side of Baja California, the Sea of Cortez in the east hosts the largest and most varied population of whales in the world in January through March. The gentle waters in the Sea of Cortez are one of the last havens for the endangered Fin-Back Whale, but they also features Blue Whales, Minke Whales, Humpback Whales, and Sperm Whales among a handful of other whale species. Dolphins, sea lions and seals are also common along the coasts.
Not only can visitors enjoy a quieter side of Mexico, one just as rich with beaches on land, but the whale watching is among the best in the world. Rarely will visitors have to sit through a tour with no spottings.

Good morning my people!
So todays post is a throw back to when Jordan and I were in Costa Rica. I wasn't planning on sharing these just because I believe in quantity over quality. Typically I like to play vogue model when I do my outfit shoots, so everything from my hair, makeup to location is pretty extreme. Welll these pics are just average, I am awful at photo editing and just dont like how I edited them. But I love this white Summer dress and I have had to cancel my photoshoots twice now because its been snowing and I refuse to do another Winter outfit post. I have moved onto Spring and Summer as I am sure all of you have to! So thats that, the only good weather photos I have are from my trip. Jordan was so sweet to take these pics for me, he really doesnt like playing photographer so its a big deal when he does. Thanks babe!! If you missed my latest YouTube tutorial Ill link it below, its focused on how to contour your nose. It would make me one happy camper if you SUBSCRIBED to my channel thanks all! White dresses are always so trendy during the warmer months. I stocked up on quite a few, ranging in different styles & lengths Ill post a few of my faves below as well!

Chicago's Top Lenten Dishes SEE FULL STORY
Shrimp at Erie Cafe: This longstanding River North bastion is known for its steaks and chops, but soon you'll be regarding it for its stellar shrimp. Of the many great fish and seafood items here, like the crab cakes and baked clams, the shrimp stands supreme. Most notably because there are so many versions of it done so well. This is where the famous Shrimp de Jonghe can be tasted in all its glory; the classic Chicago dish is a casserole of whole peeled shrimp immersed in garlic-scented breadcrumbs. There's also French fried shrimp, or grilled shrimp a la George.
Chicago's Top Lenten Dishes SEE FULL STORY
Salmon at III Forks Prime Steakhouse: Another prime example of a steakhouse with serious seafood panache, III Forks Prime Steakhouse has particularly extraordinary salmon dishes you'd be wise to order. Along with those sterling steaks, the seafood and fish dishes hold their own, as evidenced by dishes like Atlantic salmon with tarragon chimichurri, or a salmon Caesar salad that takes a classic to a savorous new level.
Seafood cocktails at Mastro's Steakhouse: Steak may get top billing at this meaty Mecca in River North, but don't overlook the pristine seafood dishes scattered throughout the mammoth menus. Chief among them are the seafood cocktails featured on the appetizer menu. You've got a few options here, all of which are insanely fresh, light, bright, and bursting with oceanic flavor. There's the classic plump shrimp cocktail, along with a Dungeness crab cocktail and even lobster cocktail. And this is just the tip of the seafood iceberg at Mastro's.
Lobster "escargot" at Chicago Cut: One of the most lavish steakhouse seafood dishes in town is also one of the most unusual. Combining lobster with French technique, the clever chefs at this famous steakhouse serve tail pieces in garlic butter with melted Havarti and crostinis. It works surprisingly well, and it's a surefire hit for those squeamish about snails.
Lent (Latin: Quadragesima – English: Fortieth) is a solemn religious observance in the liturgical calendar of many Christian denominations that begins on Ash Wednesday and covers a period of approximately six weeks beforeEaster Sunday. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer through prayer, penance, repentance of sins, almsgiving, atonement and self-denial. This event, along with its pious customs, is observed by Christians in the Anglican, Calvinist, Lutheran, Methodist, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions.[1][2][3] Today, some Anabaptist and evangelical churches also observe the Lenten season.[4][5] Its institutional purpose is heightened in the annual commemoration of Holy Week, marking the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the tradition and events of the New Testament beginning on Friday of Sorrows, further climaxing on Jesus' crucifixion on Good Friday, which ultimately culminates in the joyful celebration on Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. During Lent, many Christians commit to fasting or giving up certain types of luxuriesas a form of penitence. Many Christians also add a Lenten spiritual discipline, such as reading a daily devotional, to draw themselves near to God.[6] The Stations of the Cross, a devotional commemoration of Christ's carrying the Cross and of his execution, are often observed. Many Roman Catholic and some Protestant churches remove flowers from their altars, while crucifixes, religious statues, and other elaborate religious symbols are often veiled in violet fabrics in solemn observance of the event. Throughout Christendom, some adherents mark the season with the traditional abstention from the consumption of meat, most notably among Roman Catholics.[7]
Lent is traditionally described as lasting for forty days, in commemoration of the forty days which, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus spent, before beginning his public ministry, fasting in the desert, after which he endured temptation by the Devil.[8][9] In most of the West, it begins on Ash Wednesday. Different Christian denominations calculate its length differently. On this see Duration, below.
There are controversial suggestions that Lent originated from various Pagan customs associated with different Non-Christian religions.[10] [11]

Fall is in full swing and winter is just around the corner. That means that layering is my first priority when getting ready every morning. When I'm in California, it's not as much of an issue, but New York City definitely has me thinking ahead about how I can be most comfortable and stylish with whatever weather the day may bring. One of my favorite ways to layer smart is to go for three pieces on top, and a long jean or skirt/tight combo on bottom. It's an easy outfit formula that any woman can emulate from garments she already has in her wardrobe as well.
Here, I've decided to spotlight my new satin blazer from Banana Republic. The perfect top layer for a daytime brunch or shopping appointment in CA, or just the right second layer underneath a shaggy jacket during a NYC winter. My base shell is actually a feline-inspired piece as well. The key to pulling off patterns that are so similar is to keep one macro (or large-scale) and one micro (or smaller-scale.) From a distance, the jacket itself can appear almost like a solid, so it doesn't confuse the eye. Upon a closer look, the details play nicely with each other. This doesn't always work by mixing two similar patterns together. It's definitely a trial and error system, but don't be afraid to play around with some of the things in your closet to see if there's a hidden surprise in there. Sometimes you don't know the gems you have until you actually try them on together.
Because the jacket and top are so busy, the rest of the outfit needed to stay minimal. My dark wash flared jeans from Alice + Olivia definitely nod back to my forever '70s-inspired style, and elongate the leg as well. This camel colored clutch is the perfect highlight to the hues in the blouse. This goes to show that no matter how small an accessory is, it can really pull an outfit together. If I don't rely on a bag or clutch to do this, I can always count on a pair of shoes to do so! That's why it's important to invest in neutral colored accessories, and to have a few options on hand to grab on your way out the door. I topped off this look with a pair of classic aviators and small jewelry to draw a bit of attention upwards as well.
Whether you're a leopard fan or not, it's easy to create a look that's pulled together and versatile that works for you by paying attention to a few simple things: proportion and fit. These shapes — a cinched waist, a medium or low neckline, and an elongated leg are going to flatter nearly every body type and look great for any occasion!
What I wore;
Jacket- Banana Republic
Top- Jcrew
Jeans- Alice + Olivia

I powered up the laptop at around 10pm in order to keep an eye on things while watching Dimbleby on the TV. I could see things weren't going well after the Newcastle and Sunderland results, which was also about the time I had to check a minor technical issue. I went to bed around 1.30am, feeling concerned that it looked like Leave was generally doing better than expected. Either it would be the same in the morning, or it would be better.
Of course in the morning, it was the same. The trains were curiously quiet this morning; I heard of Cameron's resignation on the way in to Paddington. The office was subdued, watching the pound (and bitcoin, gold, the FTSE and other markets) with a car-crash fascination. There's been a code-freeze since Wednesday, so there was little to do other than pick up a background task, keep an eye on alerts, and read various live blogs.
After a couple of attempts, I'm still too angry to write much coherently, so I have only a few points to which I may add in subsequent posts.
- Cameron will, after all, be remembered as the Prime Minister responsible for the break-up of the UK, all for the sake of holding the Conservative party together for a couple of years.
- There will be open warfare in the Labour party over Corbyn's leadership, with a widening split between the parliamentary party and grass roots.
- Scotland will leave the UK and rejoin the EU - for me this seems pretty much a foregone conclusion; Sturgeon would be mad not to seek it, unless EU/UK negotiations turn out much more cordially than I foresee. But it will have to join the Euro.
- I've signed the change.org petition for London independence. It seems far-fetched, but there's plainly a split between London and the rest of the England (with few exceptions), with each side having contempt for the other. I live in one and work in the other, but for all my working life I have actually been an economic migrant.
