FSA advise schools on horsemeat
As part of a "relentless" inquiry into horsemeat mislabelling, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) have issued advice to schools and other public institutions that may have stocked affected products.
The horsemeat scandal began last month when Irish authorities discovered horsemeat in some burgers stocked by a number of UK supermarket chains.
Horsemeat has also been found in branded and supermarket-own ready meals, including lasagne and spaghetti bolognese. Some Findus frozen beef lasagne, made by a French food processing company, were found to have up to 100% horsemeat in them.
The crisis has spread across Europe as details of the convoluted supply chain in the meat industry emerged.
The FSA in the UK has ordered food businesses to carry out tests on all processed beef products and the first results are expected on Friday. They are testing for the presence of horsemeat and pork.
Amid suspicions that horsemeat may have been served in public institutions such as schools and hospitals, the FSA have delivered the following interim advice:
"Public institutions (schools, prisons, hospitals, armed forces) are within the scope of the UK-wide authenticity sampling programme being organised by the Food Standards Agency. Therefore, suppliers (such as caterers) of meat products to schools and hospitals are included within that surveillance programme.
"In addition, suppliers – including caterers – to public institutions are part of the extensive testing regime the Food Standards Agency has established with the food industry, including food service businesses.
"This approach means we will now have an established industry testing plan, with the FSA undertaking additional verification and validation of authenticity while ensuring that industry takes responsibility for providing assurance to consumers, with the FSA providing appropriate oversight.
"We are reminding public bodies (schools, prisons, hospitals, armed forces) of their responsibility for their own food contracts. We expect them to have rigorous procurement procedures in place, with reputable suppliers.
"We are keeping the appropriate Government departments in close touch with developments, making sure that they are aware of the above and that if any public authorities have any concerns they should seek assurances on authenticity from their suppliers. It remains the case that the issues identified so far suggest gross negligence and possibility criminality, but no food safety risks.
"If public institutions are not satisfied with assurance from suppliers, then they should take appropriate action depending on the circumstances. Where evidence of authenticity is not produced, that action may include requiring the supplier to conduct tests, and reject or temporarily withhold stock, while waiting for results."
The agency expects to release more advice once further tests have been conducted. For more information visit http://food.gov.uk

On Monday, Fifth Third Bancorp and MB Financial announced they have entered into a definitive merger agreement.
Fifth Third is shelling out $4.7 billion in stocks and cash to buy out MB Financial's shareholders and complete the merger.
Based on Fifth Third's stock price as of May 18, MB Financial's shareholders will receive $54.20 of total consideration for each of their shares in the company. This will consist of 1.45 shares of Fifth Third common stock, and $5.54 in cash per share. This represents a roughly 24% premium on Fifth Third's stock price as of May 18.
MB Financial has been based in Chicago for more than 100 years, and while it announced in mid-April that its national mortgage origination arm is closing, its Chicago-area operation will continue to remain intact and operational.
"Teaming up with Fifth Third allows us to leverage our complementary capabilities for the benefit of our customers and the communities we serve," MB Financial President and CEO Mitchell Feiger said in a statement.
"I am very excited to lead the combined organization in Chicago. Our commercial expertise and strong credit culture complement the strengths of Fifth Third in large corporate lending, capital markets, wealth management and the payments business. Both organizations are committed to a successful integration, he added."
In conjunction with the closing of the transaction, two members of MB Financial's Board of Directors are expected to join the Fifth Third Bancorp Board.
Fifth Third has been investing in Chicago lately, pouring $1.9 billion into the Chicago-area over the last two years. According to the release, Fifth Third will double-down on Chicago, and invest even more in the near future.
"There were no other potential partners of the same caliber as MB Financial in the Chicago market, and we are very pleased to reach an agreement to merge our companies," Fifth Third Bancorp Chairman, President and CEO Greg Carmichael said in a statement.
"We view MB Financial as a unique partner in our efforts to build scale in this strategically important market. Customers of both banks will benefit from greater convenience and the complementary capabilities that our banks, together, can offer."

Licensed to Ill
|Licensed to Ill
|Studio album by
|November 15, 1986
|Beastie Boys chronology
|Singles from Licensed to Ill
Licensed to Ill is the debut studio album by American rap rock group Beastie Boys. It was released on November 15, 1986 by Def Jam and Columbia Records, and became the first rap LP to top the Billboard album chart. It is one of Columbia Records' fastest-selling debut records to date and was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2015 for shipping over ten million copies in the United States.
The group originally wanted to title the album Don't Be a Faggot, but Columbia Records refused to release the album under this title—arguing that it was homophobic—and pressured Russell Simmons, Beastie Boys' manager and head of Def Jam Recordings at the time, into forcing them to choose another name.[5][6] Adam Horovitz has since apologized for the album's earlier title.[7]
Kerry King of Slayer made an appearance on the album playing lead guitar on "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" and appeared in the music video which is a parody of glam metal.[8] The name of the song itself is a spoof on Motörhead's No Sleep 'til Hammersmith album.[8] King's appearance on the track came about because Rick Rubin was producing both bands simultaneously (Slayer's Reign in Blood was released one month prior on Def Jam).[8]
CBS/Fox Video released a video album of the five Licensed to Ill videos, plus "She's on It" in 1987 to capitalize on the album's success.[9] A laserdisc version was also released in Japan.[9] All versions of the CBS/Fox release are currently out of print because the rights to the album passed from Columbia and Sony Music to Universal Music Group, and also because of the acrimonious nature of the band's departure from Def Jam Records.[9] Until the 2005 release of the CD/DVD Solid Gold Hits, none of the Def Jam-era videos had been included on any subsequent Beastie Boys video compilations.[9] The Solid Gold Hits DVD includes the videos for "Fight for Your Right" and "No Sleep Till Brooklyn", as well as a live version of "Brass Monkey" from a 2004 concert.[9]
The full album cover, front to back, features a Boeing 727 private jet with a Beastie Boys logo on its tail, which has crashed head-on into the side of a mountain, appearing as an extinguished joint.[10] The idea for the album's cover came from the album's producer, Rick Rubin, after reading the Led Zeppelin biography, Hammer of the Gods. The artwork was created by Stephen Byram and World B. Omes. The album cover was featured in Storm Thorgerson's and Aubrey Powell's book, 100 Best Album Covers.[11] The cover design has since been appropriated by fellow rapper, Eminem, for the cover of his 2018 album, Kamikaze.
Critical reception[edit]
|Review scores
|Christgau's Record Guide
|Orlando Sentinel
|The Rolling Stone Album Guide
|The Source
|Spin Alternative Record Guide
In 1998, the album was selected as one of The Source's 100 Best Rap Albums.[19] It is the only album by a Jewish hip-hop act to receive 5 mics from The Source.[17] In 2003, the album was ranked number 217 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time[20] and 219 in a 2012 revised list.[21] In 2013 the magazine named it the best debut album of all time.[22] Vibe included it in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century.[23] Q gave the album four out of five stars, saying "Licensed to Ill remains the world's only punk rock rap album, arguably superior to Never Mind the Bollocks ... knowing that apathy and slovenliness were just around the corner."[24] Melody Maker gave the album a positive review, saying "There's lots of self-reverential bragging, more tenuous rhymes than are usually permitted by law and, most importantly of all, an unshakably glorious celebration of being alive ... A surprisingly enduring classic."[25] In 2002, Pitchfork ranked the album at #41 in its list of the "Top 100 Albums of the 1980s", despite their prior unflattering review of the album.[26] In the 2018 edition of the "Top 200 Albums of the 1980s", the album placed #103.[27]
In 2006, Q magazine placed the album at number 16 in its list of "40 Best Albums of the '80s".[28] In 2012, Slant Magazine listed the album at number 12 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s" saying "Rife with layer upon layer of sampling, start-stop transitions, and aggressive beats, it helped transform the genre from a direct dialogue between MC and DJ into a piercing, multi-threaded narrative" and "helped set an exciting template for the future".[29] Eminem said the album was one of his favorites of all time and said it changed hip hop.[30] The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[31]
Commercial performance[edit]
The album was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 2, 1987 and eventually was certified Diamond on March 4, 2015.[32] The single "Brass Monkey" was certified Gold for shipment of 500,000+ sales.[32] In 2012, in the week following Adam Yauch's death, which subsequently resulted in a surge in sales of Beastie Boys albums, Licensed to Ill reached number 1 on Billboard's Catalog Albums chart.[33] The album also re-entered the Billboard 200 chart at number 18.[34]

Monopoly admits problems, but claims privatisation is not a solution
A study on the services and service delivery performances of the state monopoly ethio telecom in Addis Abeba claimed that the company has serious deficits in its pricing and the delivery of quality services to the public.
The research was conducted by Forum for Social Studies (FSS), a non-governmental, non-profit policy think-tank registered as an 'Ethiopian Residents Charity' and that conducts independent research and provides a forum for informed public debate of development issues and policy initiatives.
The Second Urban Public Service Delivery in Addis Abeba Public Dialogue, held at Ghion Hotel on the first week of December 2014, engaged participants from Addis Abeba University (AAU), Telecommunications service and the media. Abdurahim Ahmed, the Communication Affairs Directorate director of ethio telecom reflected on some of the points raised by the researcher Dereje Teferi (PhD), Senior lecturer, Department of Information Science, Addis Abeba University.
The telecommunications that came into being in the country when Emperor Menilik II first advocated Ethiopia's membership of the International Telecom Union (ITU) in 1907, which became realized in 1932, has now reached at providing different services such as mobile telephone, landline telephone, and internet.
The study that dealt with the telephone services separately by dividing them as fixed telephone line, wireless Code division multiple access (CDMA), mobile telephone service (2G and3G), satellite telephone service and internet access, found holes in the systems in terms of pricing, penetration, and service quality.
The study that found that there are 813,410 fixed telephone lines in Ethiopia by June 2014 growing only in three percent from the preceding year's 790,168; the penetration rate still stands less than one per cent among the lowest in Africa.
"Since the introduction of mobile and wireless telephone access in Ethiopia, the expansion of fixed lines has declined significantly," comments Dereje.
The mobile service started in 1998, building a client base of 28,000 subscribers in a short time. Then the service was suspended until the introduction of pre-paid service in 2003.
The mobile sector has been growing by 100pc every year, according to the research.Currently, there are 6,000 cellular towers in Addis Abeba, only pushing the penetration to 33pc from 17pc in 2011 and eight percent in 2010.
By June there were 29,307,662 mobile subscribers in the country showing a 19pc growth from the 23,756,607 in 2013. Currently, there are 29.3 million subscribers of mobile service in the country which is planned to reach 40 million when the current expansion project, done with an investment of 1.6 billion dollars contracting with ZTE and Huawei, is finalized. Recently,Ericson has joined by taking four of the six lots that ZTE failed to deliver as per the contract.
The internet service, also one of the deals, was deemed to have low penetration compared to other countries in Africa.
"Ethiopia still has the third lowest internet penetration rate in sub Saharan Africa surpassing only Sierra Leon and Somalia," states the study.
Abdurahim, who explained the importance of the study and the benefit it will have as an input for the betterment of the future services the state monopoly provides, admitted the problem with the penetration of fixed-line telephone service and the Internet service.
"The Internet penetration is low because of the lack of content localization and when we look at the traffic, 90pc is for downloading; this shows that we have very small amount of uploaded contents," says Abdurahim,stating the reason for the underdevelopment.
The research also found out that ethio telecom has made price adjustment in April 2011, reducing subscription charge from 80 dollars to 13 dollars, and the monthly fee from over 200 dollars for unlimited usage to fees between 17 dollars and 41dollars between 1G and 4G of use.
"The price is still very high considering the very low per capita income of Ethiopian's is (about 471 dollars World Bank 2014) and is assumed to be one of the major reasons for the low internet penetration," comments Dereje, suggesting liberalization and revision of the pricing.
The privatization discussion took much time than any other points with Solomon Teferra (PhD), senior lecturer, and head at the Department of Information Science, Addis Abeba University, saying that the government is not willing to leave the sector as it is"a good milked cow."
Privatization is not the best option as it has got its own problems as experienced in other countries, according to Abdurahim.
"Other countries have no rural connectivity and different free government provided services for the society through the telecom service such as agrinet, revenuenet, and schoolnet," argues Abdurahim.
One of the attendants of the forum, BediluAssefa, the manager of the Anbessa City Bus Service, said that the government's strategy for privatization is in four rounds and conditions. The enterprises in the country are divided into four sections for saying non important and non strategic, important and non strategic, non important but strategic and both important and strategic. The telecom falls under the fourth one and it is not to be privatized until those in the three are completed.
The research also unraveled that the low quality telecom service is hindering different corporate and private customers from getting the best from the service.

#252 Abhiyanga
This is an ayurvedic self treatment that I find really nice, especially when I have muscle pain. Basically "abhiyanga" is a hot oil massage that you can apply yourself. It's good to do before having a shower or a bath, it increases circulation and aids relaxation, and at the same time you're blocking the pain signals by tricking your sensory system.
You can use a natural massage oil like sesame or apricot kernel oil. First heat the oil by placing the bottle or container in warm water for 5 minutes. When the oil is warm you start massaging it into your skin, starting with the face and head, moving down your body covering arms, torso, back and legs well. Gently rub your muscles using plenty of warm oil so you're absolutely soaked in it. When you are done, rest for a little while before you either shower the excess oil off or just pat yourself dry and leave a thin film on your skin.
A full abhiyanga also involves rubbing warm oil into the scalp, if you have long hair this might be bothersome, but give it a go once in a while, it is very soothing!

About me
Once upon a time, in a land of windmills, wooden shoes and tulips, there lived a little girl who loved movies.
That little girl, that's me! My name's Rafke and I'm twenty-years-old. I currently live in the Netherlands and I've always loved movies, but my real love for them began in 2014. I had lots of free time and filled it up with watching movies. A few of my favorites include The Lion King, Notting Hill
I'm currently in my third year of higher education. I'm studying Communication and Multimedia Design and I absolutely love it! Maybe I'll be working in the movie business in a few years, who knows…
Another interest of me – besides movies, is traveling. I'm hoping to see much more of the world than I have now.
What can you expect on this blog? My answer is anything that has got something to do with movies. New trailers, reviews, soundtracks, underrated movies: Roughly anything!
So as you'll probably notice about the name of this blog, I love chick flicks, but that's not all! Drama, romance, musicals, comedy, sometimes action – the only genre I'll never watch, is horror.
And remember to take a look at my Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube too! You can also follow me on LetterBoxd.

Auditing firm Deloitte has denied any involvement in state capture or corruption, particularly relating to its consultancy contracts with state power producer Eskom, as reported this week by investigative journalism group amaBhungane.
The company issued a statement on Friday morning disputing allegations of corruption made against it in two amaBhungane articles published this week (read Part 1 and Part 2 ). Both articles were also carried on Fin24.
Eskom is now litigating against Deloitte in a bid to get it pay back R207m for two tenders and other work the cash-strapped power producer says the auditing firm was "improperly" awarded in 2016.
Deloitte intends to oppose the court application. It said it would be responding to allegations made about it to Eskom in its answering affidavit, which has yet to be filed. According to Deloitte, the process has been delayed because Eskom has not yet produced the documents on which it relies for its own affidavit.
"This failure deprives us of the opportunity to respond effectively to the allegations and to conclude the matter with speed," it said.
Deloitte added it had requested that amaBhungane delay publishing the two articles until the answering affidavit had been filed, which responds to Eskom's allegations has been filed. "They unfortunately decided to proceed with publishing nonetheless," Deloitte said of amaBhungane. "We disagree with the allegations, inferences and speculation in both articles."
amaBhungane's first article reference's Eskom's founding affidavit, deposed by former board chairperson Jabu Mabuza. According to the affidavit, Deloitte was awarded two consulting contracts with Eskom in September 2016, despite its prices being dramatically higher than other bidders, as amaBhungane reported.
The article also notes that Deloitte partnered with black-owned auditing firm Nkonki Inc, which has later found to have links with Gupta business associate Salim Essa. Deloitte has noted, and amaBhungane acknowledged in its reporting, that Deloitte's partnership with Nkonki dates before Nkonki's association with Essa.
In its statement, Deloitte distanced itself from the Guptas and state capture.
"We refute the speculative attempt by amaBhungane to drag Deloitte into the 'state capture' narrative despite the lack of evidence to substantiate this claim.
"Our business relationship with Nkonki predates its affiliation with Gupta and was based on Nkonki's competence and skills. Nkonki delivered value on all their engagements with Deloitte. Our partnering arrangements were not limited to Nkonki; during the same period we proposed and worked with various other BEE entities on Eskom projects," Deloitte said.
The firm also took issue with the second amaBhungane article, which it said, "makes various speculations and inferences which are apparently based on anonymous sources and documents to which we have no access".

Free up time. Free up space. Free up the excess and fill it with some constraint.
The mind needs to wander. Ideas need time to bake. What blooms is an epiphany that's hard to fake.
Take one digital bite. Take another. Distraction is the new dopamine.
The more to do means less time to make. Keep the focus. Keep the faith.

|AxM 6.2: "Unable to configure Adaptive Authentication Adapter" reported in aserver.log on startup
When an upgrade is performed from from AxM 6.1 to AxM 6.2 , the aserver throws the following error:
"Unable to configure Adaptive Authentication Adapter"
|The adaptive auth configuration file name has changed between AxM 6.1.4 and AxM 6.2.
The AA conf file , they changed an underscore to a hyphen in both the conf directory itself and the aserver.conf file.
In AxM 6.1.4 release, the adaptive auth file name was adaptive_auth-onpremise.conf. This is called out in the AxM 6.1.4 aserver.conf file as cleartrust.adaptive_auth.source.configuration=adaptive_auth-onpremise.conf
After upgrading to AxM 6.2, the AA conf file name has changed to adaptive-auth-onpremise.conf (in other words, a hyphen was used where previously an underscore was used in the file name). In aserver.conf file: cleartrust.adaptive_auth.source.configuration=adaptive-auth-onpremise.conf
|The upgrade process by default does take this naming difference into consideration and does create a correctly named conf file for AA, and does set the aserver.conf parameter appropriately. If you manullly copy over existing 6.1.4 configuration files after the upgrade, you can experience this issue.

Franco D'Anna was excited by this parcel in barrel last year to create a new bottling run and now the new label joins the Syberia at the apex of the chardonnay marques for Hoddles Creek Estate. Mendoza clone chardonnay. Single block. No fining, additions or filtration.
Hoddles Creek Estate, Road Block, Chardonnay, Yarra Valley, 2016
Understated class on the nose. Stonefruit and light fig, cooled by earthy white stone and clean straw, punctuated with hints of kitchen herbs and comforting mature oak. So pure, so clean, so balanced; this simply glides along the palate in a tight procession of lightness and grace that trails long into the distance like a comet's tail. Pick your superlatives, this is all class.

You're just not in business these days unless you're suspected of cooking the books. Dell might be joining those alleged to use naughty accounting practices, having just issued a press release detailing "errors" and "evidence of misonduct."
The results of a still-incomplete internal audit, staffers tasked with uncovering slime found "deficiencies in the financial control environment," which is legal newspeak of special beauty. Shares slid in after-hours trading, after Dell also said it would miss an April 18 deadline to file its annual financial report to the Securities and Exchange Commission until the review is done.
It hasn't yet decided whether to restate earnings.

-I taught my first intensive in my clinic to a very sweet three years old girl with a genetic disorder which slows down learning,
causing a developmental delay. I also had the first lesson with an eight years old boy with Cerebral Palsy, and was forced to
delay the rest of the intensive until further notice because of the Corona Virus.

-This month I attended Segment 5 of the Neuromovement training to teach children with special needs. Because this was the
first time ever that Anat taught this segment, whose topic was 'Movement, Thinking and cognition', many of the participants
were very experienced practitioners and as a result, the level and depth of the teaching and learning experience was
outstanding and extremely inspirational.
-Before segment 5 I spent a whole day teaching (by invitation) architecture students at the Neuroscience Applied to
Architectural Design Master program in Venice, Italy. We spent the morning studying the neuroscientific explanation to the
effects of the environment on people's movements and through their movements on their emotions. In the afternoon we
discussed the application of this theory, and the students experienced it themselves through movement exercises. The
students were very cooperative, were not shy of moving in various creative ways, and we all had a lot of fun.
January 2020
-I finally completed all the preparation for opening my Anat Baniel method: Neuromovement clinic in the Carmel Center in
Haifa, Israel, and I am now welcoming new clients.
-In addition I have started to practice this method as a volunteer in an additional place: A nursery school for children with
special needs: "Eshcol Ganim Flora", where I have been working with two girls. Already after the first lesson, one of the girls
who is usually very sleepy 'woke up' and stayed awake and alert for the rest of the morning, and the spasticity in her arm
was reduced. The other girl "discovered" her leg and seemed to become aware of it. The satisfaction working with them is
-I finished my final project and all my requirements for my Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies (LBMS), and sent everything to
LIMS (Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies). I am now looking forward to get from them my CMA certificate.

-An evening of lectures at the Early Childhood community Clinic which is part of the Center for Developmental Social
Neuroscience at IDC Herzliya.
-Cogneuro2020 – A two days international neuroscience conference, organized by Tel Aviv University.

The Relationship between Caregiver Burden and Emotion Recognition Deficits in Persons with MCI and Early AD:
The Mediating Role of Caregivers' Subjective Evaluations. Alzheimer disease and associated disorders.
- I attended another amazing segment of the
Anat Baniel Method Neuromovement Continuing Education Mastery Workshop for Children with Special needs.
March 2019
- I had an incredibly moving experience during the first segment of the Anat Baniel Method Neuromovement
Continuing Education Mastery Workshop for Children with Special needs, when I saw how a 4 months old
baby who had a cardiac arrest, was not responsive to anything and was diagnosed by the physicians as deaf
and blind, "woke up to life" after only a few sessions, started to respond to sound tried to catch with his hand
the finger of a practitioner, and looked at his father's eyes instead of rolling his eyes to the ceiling.

This App Could Save Your Life in the Backcountry
SafeSide marries common sense and cutting-edge technology, giving adventurers and their families a little peace of mind.
The Norwegian Mountain Code, or "Fjellvettreglene," is frank and simple, with commandments that include everything from "Be prepared," and "Leave word of your route," to "Use a map and compass," and "Turn back in time." Children in Norway learn the code at a very young age, and many adults can still recite it.
And soon, a Norwegian app could make backcountry travel even safer, in Norway and beyond. Called SafeSide, it's designed to facilitate faster communication and decision-making in the event of a missing person or party.
SafeSide is brilliant in its simplicity, building off basic protocols most of us should be following anyway whenever we venture into the backcountry: Namely, to share our plans with friends and family.
Here's how it works. Before leaving home, users add three emergency contacts from their address books, then list their locations (via GPS), planned activities (think skiing, kayaking, or hiking), and, most importantly, their planned return time. Finally, they hit activate to send the complete backcountry agenda to their emergency contacts.
This is the part we really like: If a user's planned return time passes and he hasn't deactivated his trip, SafeSide flies into action. After 30 minutes, all three emergency contacts receive a text message suggesting they try to reach the user. After 90 minutes, they receive a second text message suggesting they contact each other to escalate the situation. Contact info is provided for all three so they can discuss next steps.
"The realization that someone is missing can take hours, but with SafeSide, the realization that something could be wrong only takes 30 minutes," says founder James Lyons. "By stopping the seed of complacency from taking root, it could prevent a minor situational delay from turning into a tragedy."
SafeSide is only in beta at the moment, but a Kickstarter page launched in May to fund the final stages of development. With some passionate backers and a little luck, SafeSide could become a must-have app for anyone who loves the outdoors—along with all the friends and loved ones who worry about us when we go off the grid.
