When Joseph was employed in Potiophar's household, his wife became enamored with Joseph. Joseph declined her amorous advances on moral grounds. This is a poem about the infatuation of Potiphar's Wife
Darling Joseph,
Your body is bronze…
Your eyes
Poisonously radiant…
Magnificent is
Your phallus….
My body
The wine
Of Egypt….
My lips are
Pearls of
Of morn ….
My breasts
Are dancing
My orifice
Is a burning
Lake of fire…
Come my Joseph
And bed
Me to
Sweet ecstasy.

A Pakistani court issued an arrest warrant for ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif after he failed to appear before the court over anti-corruption allegations.
Mr. Sharif missed the hearing as he is undertaking a religious pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia, Dawn and other English-language newspapers reported.
Mr. Sharif had spent previous weeks tending to his wife in London, where she is receiving cancer treatment.
He faces three separate corruption charges from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), an anti-corruption body which has its own courts.
Mr. Sharif's two sons and his daughter Maryam, who is viewed as Mr. Sharif's heir-apparent, are also facing NAB trials.
Mr. Sharif, 67, resigned in July after the Supreme Court disqualified him from holding office over an undeclared source of income, but the veteran leader maintains his grip on the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party.
The Sharifs have called the corruption proceedings against them a conspiracy, hinting at intervention by the powerful military, but opponents have hailed it as a rare example of the rich and powerful being held accountable.
The army denies playing a role.
"We are going through a time in Pakistan where speaking up against injustice is called contempt of court and speaking up for the nation is called treason, but I still believe that we will be victorious," Maryam said outside the court, according to Dawn newspaper.
Mr. Sharif had a representative in court.
Mr. Sharif's disqualification stemmed from the Panama Papers leaks in 2016 that appeared to show that his daughter and two sons owned offshore holding companies registered in the British Virgin Islands and used them to buy flats in London.
The NAB court charges against Sharif relate to the ownership of London apartments, as well as establishment of two large-scale factory businesses in Saudi Arabia. Sharifs deny any wrongdoing on all charges.

Me, at a vineyard in Sonoma, shopping for egg-white free wine for an upcoming event.
Eating has always been a nightmare. I was born in 1970, way before food allergy awareness became chic. Before anyone even knew the meaning of gluten. Before food dye was lethal. Growing up, before discovering my allergies, I was always sick, missing school, listening to friends play outside while I nursed a headache or my mother tended to my endless, itchy skin rashes.
Finally, when this cool Californian doctor did some tests that no one ever heard of, we found out I was allergic to gluten and food dye. For the first year, I ate fruits, vegetables and chicken drumsticks; three things my mother knew how to make and three things that were free from my kryptonite. What was worse than sitting in the school cafeteria, amongst all my peers, being called "Drumstick Girl" was my family never went out for dinner anymore. My brother and sister blamed me for ruining family fun night (pizza, ice cream and the arcade). I felt trapped, cornered in this cage of boring food, strange looks and resentment.
Over time, my mother did tons of research and became an expert gluten-free bread baker. People requested loaves in exchange for money…that's right, she was selling the gluten-free bread. Many had no idea what they were eating. She often made me venture into the kitchen with her, where I started doing some experimenting of my own. My world was opening and with the encouragement of my mother, I felt like I was the one responsible. When we were in that kitchen I wasn't sick or strange. I was making magic; making the impossible, possible.
After I graduated college as a Certified Nutritional Specialist (CNS), I landed what I thought was my dream job, in a special program working with teenage girls with eating disorders. As fulfilled as I felt, my mind couldn't get out of the kitchen, where I spent my weekends often with my mother still by my side, making food that I froze and enjoyed all week. Slowly, one-by-one, friends and family were diagnosed with some type of food allergy. They'd call and ask if I'd teach them to make a delicious dessert or bread or dinner they'd eaten at my house. "I'll pay you for an order of it," was a term I often heard. One thing led to another, the side money from the cooking became better than the money from my full-time gig and Happy & Healthy was born.
Thanks to WholeFunding, a pioneer in its realm (just as my mother and I had been), I raised the final money needed to rent kitchen space, invest in a marketing campaign and hire my mom.

I agree...a lovely post....The bath mat is my very favorite.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, that bath mat is circa 1995! And back then, many of the quilters in my ghuid judged me slightly "loony" as my love for upcycling was just getting started. But I have remained true to finding my own peace and contentment in stitching for me.Delete

Feed mill biosecurity plans: A systematic approach to prevent biological pathogens in swine feed

Development of a feed mill biosecurity plan can minimize risk of introduction of biologic hazards and limit potential economic losses from animal or human pathogens such as Salmonella and porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. A biosecurity plan should be detailed and contain hazard controls at each step of the manufacturing process. Biologic hazards can cause illness or injury in humans or animals. These hazards can be introduced through a number of means, including ingredients, manufacturing equipment, or people, so controls must aim to prevent or reduce their prevalence. The Food Safety Modernization Act requires most feed mills to identify and control hazards. A biosecurity plan can serve as an effective prerequisite program to reduce the likelihood of a biological hazard occurrence by identifying ingredient specifications, sampling methods, analytical procedures, receiving guidelines, equipment cleanout, production parameters, load-out, and sanitation procedures. The objective of this review is to describe biological hazards that may be present in swine feed, locations of their potential entry, and suggested practices for a successful biosecurity plan for feed mills manufacturing swine feed.

text: We are always struggling with moving our students along the learning continuum. We have a wide array of curriculum to teach. When it comes to Mathematics and the acquisition of this amazing subject, we must be able to decompose the facts and their strategies before we are able to teach it to our students. We are skilled and have great knowledge but sometimes it is difficult to revert back down to the basics. We must teach addition facts in their most simplest forms. Studies show that students will be more successful when these basic addition facts are acquired in the proper order. I have provided a quick description of each one with an example of how to demostrate and teach that fact. Print it out (link below) and keep it in your teacher binder. Even if you teach higher than grade 3, you never know when you will be teaching a student who has learning gaps that you will need to address. Addition Fact Strategies

Losing a parent is always difficult, but especially when a teenage girl loses her mother. Jessie and her father are close, but the relationship is definitely different than what she had with her mother. Jessie feels like she needs to be strong for her father, and Googles everything she would normally have asked her mother.
Two years later her father returns from a business trip and announces that he has remarried, to a woman he met online, and they are moving to Los Angeles. Her stepmother is nice enough, but Jessie feels totally displaced. The house is a mansion and her stepmother some type of movie mogul. She pays for Jessie to attend the private school her stepbrother attends, and he just ignores her.
Her first day at school she meets the mean girls, but an email pops up from "Someone/Nobody," SN for short. SN becomes her first friend and confidante, but Jessie doesn't know who he is and he wants to keep it that way.
She gradually makes a few friends, finds a job at a bookstore, and even has a bit of a social life. Meanwhile she is in constant touch with her best friend Scarlett from Chicago, and between Scarlett and SN, she muddles through.
The SN plotline is reminiscent of one of my favorite films, "You've Got Mail," where the Tom Hanks character sees the Meg Ryan character in real life, but also has this secret email relationship with her. SN works the same way, to a similar end.
I thoroughly enjoyed this Young Adult novel. Buxbaum has written two previous novels, both women's fiction so this was a new direction for her. This was a bit reminiscent of Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor and Park, which I loved, so that is high praise indeed.

Did you blink? It may seem as if you were just driving home from the hospital—joy, panic, and fear coursing through you. After only 48 hours, the staff had nudged you out. You needed a license to drive the car home, but only a signature to take this person home. Bye! Go raise a child!
As parents, we take classes, read books, research pediatricians, and find playgroups. We watch our children play outside and teach them "stranger danger." As Christian parents, we take God's charge seriously to "train a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6a). We baptize our children and teach them God's Word. We attend to their physical and emotional needs, all while also attempting to impart knowledge and wisdom. Parenting can be overwhelming!
We finally embark upon the huge milestone of entering kindergarten. We've invested all this time, and we hope we've done enough. But will my child cry when I leave? Should I have taught her how to skip count—can she even skip? Will he be afraid to ask for help or to go to the bathroom? Will the teacher think my child is a "troublemaker" and not see the potential in him? What if she doesn't eat her fruit, or worse, throws away her sandwich and is hungry all day? Maybe he's too immature yet. We worry. We despair. And we are brought to our knees.
We kneel before the master teacher
When the anxieties of life overwhelm us, we go back to the author of life, the master teacher. As we entrust our little ones into the care of a teacher, we entrust our anxieties to the hands of the Lord. It is he who gave us these children, his children. He is just as concerned about them and has a vested interest in their well-being.
So, when our worries cause us to lose sleep, when we stress over carrying out this awesome responsibility—we let the master teacher reassure us. He reminds us in Psalm 121: "My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. . . . Indeed, he who watches over [you] will neither slumber nor sleep" (verses 2a,4). God encourages us when our fears and apprehensions rise and hijack our thoughts: "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). We kneel before the master teacher, tossing our uncertainties on his shoulders.
Knowing Jesus is in control, hearing of his inspiring love and concern for us and our children, we can go forward into any circumstance, being certain and sure. How? God has equipped us: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16,17). As we raise our children, God teaches us. God unfailingly supplies his Word, knows and provides for our needs, and promises to hear our prayers.
Now, knowing that God is there for us and has promised to equip us, we boldly go and set a wonderful example for our children— we do our homework.
Do the homework
Hours. Days. Years. We've given our time, walking nocturnal babies, cajoling them to eat, holding them, wiping their tears, and keeping them safe in the yard. Abruptly, we lose that control. How do we prepare and cope as we send our children off to school?
Parenting will always include on-the-job training, but whenever possible we take proactive measures— we do our homework. A good first step is to make a running list of questions for the staff or teacher. Visiting school is a little like a trip to the doctor's office. We try to grasp a barrage of information and, in the process, forget our few questions until we are out the door. These written questions will be helpful when meeting the teacher or visiting the school campus.
A visit to a prospective school offers insights into how it's run. We can acquaint ourselves with the physical building and grounds. We can walk the building and become familiar with the setting that will become like a second home for our children. We can search out the important places— classrooms, bathrooms, and playground. If possible, we'll try to visit while classes are in session. We observe the routine and let our children see this, so they can imagine and look forward to themselves in a similar position the next school year. We meet the principal and secretary, pivotal communication links. We may obtain a handbook to read and grasp the school policies. In the weeks before school begins, we translate the policies into the language of real life for our student. This allows the guidelines and staff to become normal, internalized parts of our and our child's mental picture of "school."
Then, as permitted by the school, we meet the teacher. The setting for this visit might vary from school to school. For instance, teachers in some schools still make home visits. This is a personal way to meet and connect with your teacher. She will have the opportunity to discuss procedures and expectations, and you will have the chance to ask your questions. If your school doesn't offer this option, find out if there is a kindergarten roundup, an open house, or any other special opportunity to establish a rapport with your child's teacher. You want to build a positive, open relationship with her. Ask how you can communicate best with her. Some teachers prefer e-mails, some phone calls, and some allow time to chat before or after schooltime. Find out her preference and whether she has a specific time when she checks and returns messages. Pray for your teacher, and if the opportunity is appropriate, let her know that. Teachers are people too, and building up and encouraging them shows your thankfulness and support. She and other parents will be great resources.
In the weeks prior to the beginning of school, establish a routine. A consistent routine provides the scaffolding for a successful day. Determining an appropriate bedtime, laying out clothes, and packing lunches the night before help maintain order. A tantrum in the morning will only be exacerbated if a child is tired and Mom and Dad are wrestling with breakfast, finding clothes, and packing lunches. A routine forges a comforting boundary and helps keep everyone on time— which avoids disruption or embarrassment from tardiness. Set the tone by having family devotions at breakfast or by playing Christian music in the car. Model and practice what foods should be eaten at snack time versus those eaten for lunch. Take a dry-run drive to school, building in time for school traffic.
After school your child may be tired and worn out. Recover by having a snack, throwing a ball outside, or reading a book together. Create a habit of asking him or her to share a positive and negative aspect of the day. This practice establishes communication, allowing you to see school from your child's perspective. It also gives you, the parent, valuable teaching moments to help your child view life in the context of God's mercy in Christ.
The life of a parent is touched by joys and anxiety. Both are part of the first day of school. But if we kneel before our Lord in prayer and listen to his comforting promises, and if we have done our homework, the joys will far outweigh the anxiety.

The aim of this study was to validate ICV measurement applying the shape-based interpolation (SBI) method using open source software on computed tomography (CT) images. MethodsThe pre- and post-operative CT images of 55 patients undergoing DC surgery were analyzed. The ICV was measured by segmenting every slice of the CT images, and compared with estimated ICV calculated using the 1-in-10 sampling strategy and processed using the SBI method. An independent t test was conducted to compare the ICV measurements between the two different methods. The calculation using this method was repeated three times for reliability analysis using the intraclass correlations coefficient (ICC). The Bland–Altman plot was used to measure agreement between the methods for both pre- and post-operative ICV measurements. ResultsThe mean ICV (±SD) were 1341.1±122.1ml (manual) and 1344.11±122.6ml (SBI) for the preoperative CT data. The mean ICV (±SD) were 1396.4±132.4ml (manual) and 1400.53±132.1ml (SBI) for the post-operative CT data. No significant difference was found in ICV measurements using the manual and the SBI methods (p=.983 for pre-op, and p=.960 for post-op). The intrarater ICC showed a significant correlation; ICC=1.00. The Bland–Altman plot showed good agreement between the manual and the SBI method. ConclusionThe shape-based interpolation method with 1-in-10 sampling strategy gave comparable results in estimating ICV compared to manual segmentation. Thus, this method could be used in clinical settings for rapid, reliable and repeatable ICV estimations. ER

Peter Mathieson, the vice-chancellor of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), shocked the city after announcing his resignation in February. He decided to leave two years before his contract expires to join Scotland's prestigious Edinburgh University.
What's more shocking is Mathieson took a huge pay cut – from HK$5.8 million a year to about HK$3 million a year.
Speculation has suggested the political complexity of the job was too much for him, forcing him to want out as soon as possible. But it will be difficult to prove he left because he no longer enjoyed working at HKU.
Mathieson said a headhunter approached him for the less lucrative Edinburgh University job. The more interesting story here is how the headhunter convinced him to move to a job with less pay.
Human Resources magazine spoke to a number of headhunters about this quirky pay cut situation regarding Mathieson.
Adam Johnston, managing director at Robert Half Hong Kong, pointed out that although money generally remains the main motivating factor for professionals to change jobs, it is not always the case.
"Some professionals can be convinced to change jobs even if they're offered a lower salary," he said.
"Sometimes the non-financial incentives, job content or career progression opportunities can be more rewarding than higher remuneration.
"Factors such as lifestyle benefits, more/different responsibilities, an attractive relocation, flexible working arrangements, lower/higher workload or less stakeholders to manage can be enough to attract someone to a lower paying job."
Siddharth Suhas, regional director for Hudson Hong Kong and Guangzhou, explained that headhunters approaching an individual for a job opportunity that pays less arises typically over two things.
1. When a candidate has expressly indicated that other elements of a role/opportunity are of a higher priority to them besides salary. This is uncovered during the initial interactions with a candidate when a recruiter interviews the candidate and understands their background, skills and motivational drivers. This might be the case for Mathieson.
2. When a candidate indicates a keenness to move sectors/functions to change their career direction in its entirety. As a result of such a decision, very often the candidate doesn't possess some skills/experience necessary for a new sector at the same level they might currently be at and they consider this a personal investment of time and learning to build their career in a new industry. This is not the case for Mathieson; he is already a highly respected figure in his sector.
"Other than these reasons, headhunters do not typically approach candidates for roles where there is a big variance in the offered package and what they currently receive," Suhas said.
Nick Lambe, group managing director at Links International, said salary would obviously come into consideration when considering a job change. For most people, they would only consider positions that were significantly below their current compensation if other pull factors were there.
"For example, there might be long-term incentives with the new firm or a higher bonus potential. The position might be in a new industry that they are passionate about, or will give them exposure and experience they desire in their careers," he said.
"But it is not a common practice to call candidates with the intention of getting them to take a job at a lower salary, as we want to create a win-win for both the candidate and client."
Only Mathieson will know the exact reason why he decided to quit HKU, but all signs seem to point to it being unusual for a professional to take a new job with lower pay.

MLB odds have shown decent value for the Seattle Mariners as they have played better than expected although they are nowhere near being a true MLB betting post season contender.
The Seattle Mariners will host the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night with a starting time of 10:10 PM ET. Sports Gambling will have side and total odds on this American League matchup so be sure to have your account open and ready for action today.
The scheduled probable starting pitchers for this one are CJ Wilson for Texas and Michael Pineda for the Mariners.
Texas began the season with a record of 16-12 and was 5-7 on the road with just 4 of their 12 away games going over the baseball gambling total. The Rangers offensive lineup has remained one of the most productive in baseball as it ranked 6th for runs produced despite Josh Hamilton being out since April 13 with a shoulder injury.
Wilson has been in excellent form for the Rangers with a 3-1 record and a 4.12 earned run average. Andre Beltre has supplied plenty of power for Texas with 7 home runs and 18 runs batted in while Ian Kinsler had 8 doubles, 5 home runs and 13 runs batted in.
Michael Young was another dangerous Texas hitter with a .342 average and 12 doubles with 15 runs scored and 20 runs batted in.
Seattle was a better than expected 13-16 with the MLB lines and was 5-8 at home with 8 of their home games going over the total. The Mariners offense was one of the least productive in baseball as it ranked 24th for runs scored and 26th for home runs.
Pineda has been the Mariners best pitcher as he had a 4-1 record with a 2.01 earned run average. Brandon League has been an effective closer with7 save and Ichiro Suzuki was hitting .317 with 6 doubles and 12 runs batted in.
Heading into this series the Rangers got the money in 5 of their last 8 games at Seattle with 10 of the last 14 games between the teams in Seattle going under the MLB odds. Texas won 14 out of the last 20 games overall in this head to head series.

Myanmar's monks are back on front lines, this time to help cyclone victims
May 12, 2008 03:22
KYI BUI KHAW, Myanmar - The saffron-robed monks who spearheaded a bloody uprising last fall against Myanmar's military rulers are back on the front lines, this time providing food, shelter and spiritual solace to cyclone victims.The military regime has moved to curb the Buddhist clerics' efforts, even as it fails to deliver adequate aid itself. Authorities have given some monasteries deadlines to clear out refugees, many of whom have no homes to return to, monks and survivors say.
"There is no aid. We haven't seen anyone from the government," said U Pinyatale, the 45-year-old abbot of the Kyi Bui Kha monastery sharing almost depleted rice stocks and precious rainwater with some 100 homeless villagers huddled within its battered compound.
Similar scenes are being repeated in other areas of the Irrawaddy delta and Yangon, the country's largest city, where monasteries became safe havens after cyclone Nargis struck May 3 - and the regime did little.
"In the past I used to give donations to the monks. But now it's the other way around. It's the monks helping us," said Aung Khaw, a 38-year-old construction worker who took his wife and young daughter to a monastery in the Yangon suburb of Hlaingtharyar after the roof of his flimsy house was blown away and its bamboo walls collapsed.
One of the monastery's senior monks said he tried to argue with military officials who ordered the more than 100 refugees to leave.
"I don't know where they will go. But that was the order," he said, asking for anonymity for fear of reprisals.
The government has not announced such an order, which appeared to be applied selectively. Other monasteries in Yangon have been told to clear out cyclone victims in coming days, the monk said, but in the delta, refugees were being allowed to remain or told they could come to monasteries for supplies but not shelter.
"They don't want too many people gathering in small towns," said Hla Khay, a delta boat operator. The regime "is concerned about security. With lots of frustrated people together, there may be another uprising."
Larger monasteries were being closely watched by troops and plainclothes security men - "invisible spies" as one monk called them.
Such diversion of manpower at a time when some 1.5 million people are at risk from disease and starvation reflects the regime's fear of a replay of last September, when monks led pro-democracy demonstrations that were brutally suppressed.
Monks were shot, beaten and imprisoned, igniting anger among ordinary citizens in this devoutly Buddhist country. An unknown number remain behind bars, and others have yet to return to their monasteries after fleeing for fear of arrest.
"I think after the September protests, the government is afraid that if people live with the monks in the monasteries, the monks might persuade them to participate in demonstrations again," said a dentist in Yangon, who also asked that his name not be used for fear of reprisals.
Newspapers have been ordered not to publish stories about monks aiding the people, and at least one monastery and one nunnery in Yangon were prohibited from accepting any supplies from relief organizations.
"The government is very controlling," said U Pinyatale, the abbot at the Kyi Bui Kha monastery. "Those who want to give directly to the victims get into trouble. They have to give to the government or do it secretly. (The military) follows international aid trucks everywhere. They don't want others to take credit."
It appears unlikely that foreign aid organizations seeking to enter Myanmar will be allowed to use monks as conduits for relief supplies as many had hoped.
"One of the best networks already in place in the country are the monks," said Gary Walker of PLAN, a British-based international children's group, speaking from Bangkok. "So we'll be exploring ways in which we can see whether the monks can start distributing supplies throughout the country."
At the Kyi Bui Kha monastery, located on the banks of the Pyapon River deep in the delta, U Pinyatale glanced anxiously at the remaining 10 bags of rice.
"At most, we have enough for the week. We will have to find a way to get more food," he said as monks and villagers worked together to try to dry the sodden rice, even as rain clouds gathered above the largely roofless monastery.
In Yangon, monks have been able to go out on their traditional morning rounds to accept food donations from the faithful and then share these with refugees at their monasteries. But in devastated areas of the delta that is not an option.
About 90 of the 120 houses in Kyi Bui Kha have been destroyed. Gaps in the monastery's storm-riddled wooden walls revealed a 360-degree view of ravaged rice fields.
U Pinyatale said the sanctuary's two dozen monks and nuns were also trying to offer spiritual comfort to the traumatized villagers.
"We pray with them. We pray for the dead to go to the peaceful land of the dead and for the living to rebuild their lives," he said.
"When the cyclone came, all of us hid in the rice warehouse. I saw one person holding tightly onto a tree but he did not make it," the abbot added. "After the storm, there were dead bodies floating everywhere. Some people get nightmares. Some hear voices at night that their dead children are calling for help. Some haven't spoken since."

U.N. Leader Bluntly Tells Myanmar to Hurry on Aid
Sgt. Andres Alcaraz/U.S. Marine Corps, via European Pressphoto Agency
Members of the Burmese military unloaded supplies from a U.S. Air Force C-130 military cargo aircraft at the Yangon airport.
UNITED NATIONS — As the authorities in Myanmar raised the cyclone death toll to nearly 32,000 and admitted one American military aircraft with the first delivery of large-scale aid, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon pressed the junta to let international assistance and aid workers into the country without hindrance and expressed "deep concern and immense frustration" with what he called "the unacceptably slow response to this grave humanitarian crisis."
In unusually blunt language for a United Nations leader, he said, "This is not about politics, it is about saving people's lives. There is absolutely no more time to lose."
The sharp comments from Mr. Ban came on a day when the authorities in Myanmar allowed a United States military aircraft to land with relief supplies Monday, crossing a barrier that has prevented the delivery of large-scale aid to more than a million victims of the May 3 cyclone, even as state television has put the death toll at 31,938 with 29,770 people missing.
But the United Nations raised its estimate Monday to between 62,000 and 100,000 dead.
Mr. Ban said that he had been trying for four days without success to reach the country's senior general, Than Swe, and had sent a second letter to him Monday alerting him to the United Nations' efforts to provide help and its need for "greater access and freedom of movement."
He said too that the countries of the region have "a special responsibility and a special role in securing the full cooperation of Myanmar's government."
John Holmes, the undersecretary general in charge of emergency said that while there had been "slight progress" in granting visas to relief workers, only 34 of more than 100 applications had been approved.
United Nations officials said that the distribution of most deliveries of international relief supplies were still being blocked to the most badly affected parts of the country. They say help is reaching fewer than one-third of those in need.
A group of high-level officials greeted the unarmed C-130 transport plane carrying in the first American aid, in an extraordinary scene of cooperation between two nations whose only relations in recent years have been acrimonious.
The director of the United States office of foreign disaster assistance, Ky Luu, said that the United States would rely on aid groups to track the aid, but that there was "massive concern" about whether it would be diverted from those in need, The Associated Press reported.
Still, in a sign of the significance of the American aid delivery, the aircraft also carried Adm. Timothy J. Keating, the commander of the United States military in the Pacific.
In a telephone interview, Admiral Keating said that it had been years, if not decades, since an American military officer of his rank had visited Myanmar.
He said the United States had about a dozen medium- and heavy-lift military helicopters on standby in Thailand, ready to assist. In addition, he said a three-ship naval task force with another dozen transport helicopters was 24 hours away, and ready to help relief efforts.
"We told them we could come in during the day and leave at night, that they could put Burmese officials on our planes and ships, and that we would provide our own fuel," Admiral Keating said. "We told them we wouldn't stay a day longer than they wanted."
Meanwhile, reports out of the Irrawaddy Delta, the worst-hit area, continued to signal a growing and gruesome catastrophe, according to Western diplomats in Yangon.
People whose homes, farms and food stocks were destroyed have been making their way to more than half a dozen refugee camps north of the delta, although these were more like gathering places rather than organized camps, with food, water, shelter and medical assistance.
"It's grim, and getting grimmer," said one Western diplomat in Yangon. "The vast majority of people out there haven't been reached. It's a challenge to get stuff there anyway. Now it's a double challenge."
Another worry is the start of the rainy season, which usually begins in mid-May. Rice stocks need to dry, and new rice needs to be planted. Aid workers said there was one possible upside to more rain: people without fresh water might be able to collect rainwater for drinking.
A government spokesman said that the United States delivery of mosquito nets, blankets and water on Monday would be ferried by Myanmar military helicopters to the worst-hit areas. Two more shipments were scheduled to land Tuesday.By their stubbornness in refusing to allow the rapid distribution of relief supplies, the generals who rule Myanmar are turning the cyclone that struck more than a week ago from a devastating natural disaster into a man-made disaster of huge proportions.
As the disaster grows and pressure from the outside world intensifies, the junta faces a dilemma.
If it opens its doors to large numbers of foreigners, it may never be able to seal the country again against the outside influences and interference it dreads.
By keeping foreign assistance out, though, the generals must be ready to accept the deaths of hundreds of thousands more people, according to foreign relief officials. At the moment, this is the choice it appears to be making. But even if there are divisions within the leadership over policy, most analysts say the junta is likely to maintain its grip.
"I don't think anything is going to happen," said Terrence Lee, an expert on regional militaries from the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies at Nanyang Technological University. "They have too much invested in the regime to have any ideas of jumping ship." It is a truism that any change must come from within the power structure.
"I believe the junta is really walking on thin ice and has been since the attacks on the monks last September," said Josef Silverstein, an expert on Myanmar at Rutgers University, referring to a violent crackdown on peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations.
But, he said, "the mechanism for change will be from within the junta itself. I don't see how any civilian group or individual can influence the outcome given the extent of power and control the junta has."
The change could range from a coup at the top that might bring little change in policy, to a liberal opening that could even involve cooperation with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the pro-democracy leader who has spent 12 of the past 18 years under house arrest.
In any case, the military would remain in charge.
The military pervades almost all the workings of government and business and even Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi has said that the military would have to be involved in any future power structure.
The four pillars of the military's world view, said Mr. Lee, are nationalism, paranoia, self-reliance and ethnocentrism. All of these seem to be in play now.
The cyclone challenges the image the junta projects — and its self-perception — as an all-powerful protector of its people and their defender against a foreign presence. When relief shipments have arrived, the junta has in many cases insisted on distributing it, and newspapers carry photographs and reports of military officers handing out foreign aid.
The Burmese expatriate grapevine is filled with reports that the junta is divided, that younger or more liberal officers have had enough and that change will finally come.
There is no real evidence for this.
One exile found meaning in a recent photograph on the front page of the government mouthpiece, The New Light of Myanmar, which showed four top generals facing the camera.
"Than Shwe and Maung Aye were smiling," this hopeful analyst said, referring to the two top generals in the junta. "But the other two generals were not."
Aung Naing Oo, a Burmese political analyst and refugee who is based in Thailand, reads a pattern of indecisiveness and possible internal conflict into an initial confusion over whether to allow the American relief flight.
On Thursday, the United States Embassy in Bangkok was ready to announce an agreement, only to find that Myanmar seemed to have changed its mind.
Then on the following day, permission for the flight was given.
But for now, such differences have appeared to be only ripples on the surface. The solidity of the 400,000-strong military, known as the Tatmadaw, runs deep.
The military cements the loyalty of its officers with a combination of privileges and harsh punishment, as well as isolation from any understanding of the outside world. Officers live in a cocooned, privileged world where they can send their children to special schools and take part in the corruption that amounts to a major sector of the economy.
Without a military connection, it is difficult to rise in life. Myanmar is not just a military-run state; it is a military state.
Apart from a purge in 2004, there have never been serious rifts in the military, experts say. Even if there are divisions of opinion or revulsion over policy, they say, the structure is likely to remain intact.
Ban said he had tried repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, to telephone top military leader, General Than Swe
New York (dpa) - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Monday that Burma's "unacceptably slow response" to international relief aid has resulted in less than one-third of victims of Cyclone Nargis receiving assistance from the outside. UN officials said the military regime has shown some cooperation 11 days after Nargis hit the country's low-lying southern delta, killing more than 31,000 people, with 34,460 people still missing, according to government figures. But they said the cooperation has been far from adequate.
"I want to register my deep concern - and immense frustration - at the unacceptably slow response to this grave humanitarian crisis," Ban said.
Ban said he had tried repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, to telephone top military leader, General Than Swe, since last week. Instead Ban has had to send two letters, the second one on Monday, through diplomatic channels.
John Holmes, the chief coordinator for the UN's emergency humanitarian office, said there had been no official contact between New York and the top military government leaders since Nargis struck May 3. Holmes said most contact had been made by UN relief workers on the ground with local officials in Burma.
Ban issued an appeal to the military regime "to put its people's lives first. It must do all that it can to prevent the disaster from becoming even more serious."
The 270,000 people in Burma who have so far received aid, out of an estimated more than 1 million cyclone survivors, have received "only the most rudimentary assistance."
The international community has been unable to organise large- scale logistical support, which ordinarily would go to any country hit by natural disasters.

cyclone Aid hijacked by general's name in Burma
By BangkokPost.com, Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa
Privy Councillor Surayud Chulanont is to fly to Burma on Sunday, the ninth day of the cyclone disaster, to try to convince the Burmese dictatorship that the world wants to help devastated people. On Saturday, the junta reached a new level of cynicism, pasting huge labels on aid packages from Thailand to claim the help was from the top generals, rather than the Thai people.
The regime plastered names of the top generals on the aid boxes, as part of the propaganda and intimidation campaign it is running to back its referendum seeking to perpetuate the 46-year military control of the country.
The Associated Press reported that state-run television inside Burma continuously ran images of elaborate cemonies where top generals - including the junta leader, Senior Gen Than Shwe - handed out boxes of Thai aid disguised so as to appear it came from the junta, to survivors of the tragedy.
One box seen in the videos bore the name of Lt Gen Myint Swe, a rising star in the government hierarchy, in bold letters, overshadowing a smaller label which barely could be read:: "Aid from the Kingdom of Thailand."
"We have already seen regional commanders putting their names on the side of aid shipments from Asia, saying this was a gift from them and then distributing it in their region," said Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK, which campaigns for human rights and democracy in the country.
Gen Surayud, a former prime minister, is to fly to Naypyidaw, the Burmese "jungle capital," to do the unthinkable - convince the Burmese generals to allow the world to help the victims of a killer cyclon.
As an illustration, Gen Surayud will present aid packages provided by the King. On Saturday, His Majesty instructed the Raja Prachanukroh Foundation to send 2,000 bags of utensils and bedding.
The 10 tonnes of subsistence aid was to be flown to Rangoon on Sunday on a Royal Thai Air Force C-130 cargo plane, said foundation officials.
While aid agencies hashed out terms with the Burmese military regime, the country's rulers pushed through a "sham" referendum intended to cement their political power.
Marcus Prior, a spokesman for the WFP in Bangkok, said: "Given the humanitarian crisis, we felt the need to continue the supplies." The agency was allowed another three air shipments of supplies to Rangoon, scheduled to arrive Saturday and Sunday.
The UN refugee agency, UNHCR, said its first trucks had also arrived in Burma carrying 20 tons of emergency aid - enough to provide shelter for up to 10,000 people.
"This convoy marks a positive step in an aid effort so far marked by challenges and constraints," said Raymond Hall, UNHCR's Representative in Thailand. "We hope it opens up a possible corridor to allow more international aid to reach the cyclone victims."
While aid agencies hashed out terms with the military regime by which the emergency supplies may be released, Burmese rulers pushed through a "sham" referendum Saturday intended to cement their political power.
Meanwhile the military's referendum went ahead despite international appeals to postpone the vote in the wake of Cyclone Nargis that could have killed up to 100,000 people.
Although the junta postponed the vote to May 24 in 47 of the districts worst-hit, including much of the former capital Rangoon, it rejected international appeals for a general delay.
The referendum process, held under the strict control of the military masters, has been call a "sham" by human rights activists and western democracies for being neither free nor fair.
The country's 400,000-strong military was been given the double task of monitoring the referendum and taking the lead in the distribution of emergency aid.
Over the past week, state-controlled newspapers and TV have highlighted pictures of military men passing out emergency supplies to the people affected by the cyclone, including, oddly, some shots showing officers handing out VCD and DVD players to the needy.
The publicity stunt clashes with the reality. Recipients of government handouts have complained of the small quantities and poor quality.
But in Burma's media-controlled environment most people are unaware of the international furore over the junta's delaying tactics in granting visas to disaster relief experts from the UN and other aid organizations.
These have warned that diphtheria, cholera and malaria could spread in an epidemic of "apocalyptic proportions" if medical, food, water and other types of aid are not allowed in, along with trained personnel to administer the support.
In its latest announcements, the government has confirmed 23,335 deaths and some 37,019 missing. UN officials on Friday estimated the death toll will climb to 63,000 to 100,000 based on reports from 18 aid organizations working in 55 devastated townships.
While aid is trickling in to the Irrawaddy, many people have apparently survived on Buddhist charity this week.
In Labutta, for instance, the population has doubled as refugees seek shelter and food in the relatively large city.
"There is now some aid coming in but many people are relying on the charity of the Burmese families who are residents in Labutta," said Heinke Veit, a director for the European Commission Humanitarian aid Office (ECHO).
Veit and sources at UNICEF denied reports that cases of cholera had already been detected in the delta area.
"The chief of health operations for UNICEF in Rangoon said there is no evidence of cholera or typhoid yet, although it is a concern," said Shantha Bloemen, a spokesperson for UNICEF in Bangkok.
The International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) in Geneva said humanitarian aid had reached around 220,000 people, despite logistical difficulties.
France is to make its own aid action for the victims of cyclone Nargis, sending the warship Mistral loading with 1,500 tonnes of goods, it was reported Saturday.
"We have decided to act without waiting any further," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner was quoted by the French daily Le Figaro.
The aid is to be directly distributed to the effected..., either by the ship's crew or by French aid organizations," Kouchner said, adding that "delivering aid directly to (the military) junta doesn't come into the question."
A move by Indonesia to block a resolution in the United Nations' Security Council over the crisis was "unbelievable and unacceptable," Sunai Phasuk, a representative of rights group Human Rights Watch, said Saturday.
Indonesia has no excuse for its cynical tactics because it received massive lifesaving international help after the tsunami disaster in December 2004, said the New York-based agency's international representative.

Gothic Arches - Egg-straordinary egg-stravaganza!!
It's Gothic Arches time again. The theme this time is "Egg".
I have collaged some old book pages and washi tape, dabbed some Distress Inks over the top and used an image cut from from an ATC book. I used peg alphabet stamps for the sentiment and lace from Joanna Sheen, again coloured with Distress Inks.
I am away on holiday now for a week but look forward to seeing what you have come up with when I come home.
Wishing everyone a very happy Easter holidays.

Introduction: The Ultimate Coffee Table
The coffee table often resides in the center of our homes where we relax and read. These aspects influenced my design process of the table. The design incorporates a tray into the table top to display and store magazines. The tray was fabricated to allow the magazines or books to slightly rise above the plane of the table top. This allows a person to easily grab one for reading.
Here, I want to share a table I designed and built that is quite useful and attractive. I hope this will inspire you to make something similar.
This was the first piece of furniture I ever built and enjoyed the process. I completed this project while in design school when I had access to lots of machinery and a full wood shop. I don't have many of the tools you really needed to build this now, hence why it would be great to win!
I will explain how I built this table with the tools I had at the time but also give optional fabrication techniques / alternate materials that may be more readily available to you; for instance making the tray for the magazines out of wood instead of plastic.
Step 1: Design Process
I am a strong believer in exploring all options. I know this is on here for you to follow the steps as one defines them, but I assume you are like me if you read the instructables website. That is, you enjoy solving problems, blazing new trails and are a bit creative. So I am a believer in planning your design and pondering what you are going to do before you do it. I know you will end up in a far better position than if you just jump right in.
Below I have included some of my original sketches and ideas which lead up to this table. Feel free to use one of these ideas or let them inspire some new ones. Either way, you can follow the steps I have to build this table.
Step 2: Orthographic & Materials List
The picture below is a diagram of the table with measurements. I would like to briefly mention some information on purchasing your materials.
Purchasing Lumber
To make your fine furniture you want to use hardwood. When one refers to hardwood they are talking about wood that is harvested from deciduous trees (ex: maple, oak, walnut, etc.) When purchasing raw hardwood you we will be purchasing it by theboard foot.The example below is how to figure out board feet.
1 Board Foot: a measurement equal to 1 foot long, 1 foot wide and 1 inch thick or 144 cubic inches. For example, 1 board foot could also be equal to a piece of wood 10inches long, 8 inches wide and 1 3/4" thick which is also 144" cubic inches.
As you figure out how much board feet you need you will also be deciding how you will extract your pieces/parts from the lumber. For example, the legs of the table are 3x 3. The cherry boards I bought were only 2.5 inches thick. Since you must estimate for waste in the process of dressingthe lumber, be prepared to have extra material.
As I mentioned, the cherry boards where 2.5inches thick. So I estimated to have 2inches in usable thickness after preparing the lumber, therefore I will need another 1inch thick board in order to get my 3x 3leg. And this would be necessary for each leg. This would amount to 6 pieces from the rough lumber at 2.5inches thick.
The overall table is 20inches wide by 36inches long and stands 20inches tall. The table top is made of Quilted Maple and the under carriage is made of fine Vermont Cherry. I must say the wood I bought for this was as good as you can buy. And I definitely paid a high price for it. I over bought in both types of wood because I wanted to have enough wood and possibly build two matching side tables. I bought a 12 foot long board of the maple that was 22inches wide and paid $112. The cherry was very costly (but the finest you can get). I bought 2 boards that were 10 foot long, 10inches wide and 2.5inches thick and paid about $360 or so, but the natural beauty of the wood shows.
Material List:
Quilted Maple - Quarter sawn
Vermont Cherry - fine (very few to no knots) - Quarter sawn
Plastic - 1 sheet of Spectar- a copolymer plastic (more elastic and stronger than acrylic) for magazine tray
MDF - for mold
Bondo - for mold
Wood glue
4 wood table top anchors
4 small wood screws
1 can of natural oil polish & rags
Tools: - most steps were not done with power hand tools but machinery in a wood workshop.
Band saw
Radial arm saw
Table saw
Vacuum former
Mortise machine
Milling machine (could use router)
Clamps - large 4 foot clamps & smaller ones
Orbital sander
Heat gun
Safety glasses
Sandpaper (Lots of it!)
Step 3: Step 1: Cut Your Wood Up
After you decide how much wood you need and purchase the raw lumber you will prepare the wood by dressingthe lumber. You are taking your rough lumber and machining it into smooth lumber ready for working.
First, cut all of your large lumber into the general size you need for each piece of lumber, leaving extra for waste that will occur from cutting or planing and jointing your lumber.
For example, I cut the legs into 2.5" x 2.5"x 22"; remember, you will be adding another board later to get your 3 inch thickness (final size of legs: 3" x 3" x 20"). Do this for all your other pieces as well.
Step 4: Step 2: Dressing Your Rough Lumber
Then you will take all your pieces of rough lumber to the jointer. During the process of jointing the wood you must be very careful. Join each edge piece of lumber (the smallest side). You need the sides to be finished smooth to use the planar.
Once your sides are joined you can put your lumber lengthwise through a planar to dress the face of your boards. Once this is all done you have lumber which is dressed smooth on all sides and faces.
Step 5: Step 3: Glue Up the Legs & Table Top
Now take the pieces your have cut, slightly oversized for your legs, and prepare for a glue up. Make sure all the pieces are planed smooth on all sides. Apply wood glue to each side and clamp. When using clamps alternate their direction (the screw for the clamp for the first will be on the right side of the wood, the next will be on the left, etc.). Also place and tighten the clamps evenly. Slowly tighten all the clamps together to get an even bond. Wipe away any wood glue that may be squeezed out of the joint.
Step 6: Step 4: Cut the Undercarriage Pieces to Size
After everything is glued up and all your pieces have been planed as mentioned in step 2 you can cut your parts out. You are now basically cutting all the parts to their exact measurements, cutting any extra waste material. It is best to wait to do this after glue ups because pieces may shift ever so slightly. Now you can cut them to size and then plane your pieces once more, removing minimal material.
Cut your angles on your legs and the apron on the bandsaw. Mark all your cut lines on your pieces (measure twice and cut once). Then cut them out. On a bandsaw it helps to keep your eye about 1 inch in front of the blade on your cut line as you feed the piece through the blade. You will have a straighter cut this way; looking at the blade causes you to be reactionary and causes more errors, so keep your eye on the cut line.
Once your pieces are cut, sand them with rough sandpaper.
Step 7: Step 5: Mortise All the Undercarriage Pieces
On a mortise machine make all of your cuts for the tenons. Each piece that joins each other must be set up facing the same way in order for the cuts to line up.
Step 8: Step 6: Make Final Angle Cuts on the Undercarriage Pieces
Make all the last cuts on your pieces on the bandsaw. Mark all your lines on your parts and cut them out.
Now you have all your pieces for the undercarriage ready for a dry fit assembly. Take all your aprons, stringers and legs and assemble them to make sure everything lines up and is tight.
Step 9: Step 7: Plane the Table Top
Take your table top and sand it with an orbital sander or send it through a large planar taking off nominal amounts of wood.
Step 10: Step 8: Router the Table Top
I used an unconventional way to router the top for this table... a milling machine. At the time I had more access to this than a router, so i used a wood bit in the machine, (no I don't own a milling machine this was the school's).
I double stick taped the table top on a piece of MDF and mounted it to the bed of the milling machine. Then I routered out the top in small increments to get the right depth of 3/8" for the plastic tray.
Step 11: Step 9: Build Mold for Tray
To build the mold for the tray I took MDF and cut them in increments to build a pyramid shape for the mold. I cut them on the band saw and then stair stepped the pieces. I glued up the pieces to create two halves of the mold (top and bottom).
I made two halves so it would be easier to cut on the band saw. Making this angled cut would be hard and dangerous (making a jig would be another option). Then I drew the profile pattern of the tray on the pieces. I cut out each piece on the bandsaw using this line.
Finally, glue these two pieces together, after set up you want to smooth the piece. Any imperfections will be seen in the plastic tray. I smoothed it with an orbital sander. Apply bondo, and sand smooth following the bondo instructions. Use different colors of bondo to help you see any imperfections or uneven areas. It takes time but is worth it to have a smooth part.
The triangular mold sits on a flat sheet of MDF. Drill small holes every 2 inches or so to allow the vacuum to suck down on the part. A 1/8" drill bit is good, too large of a hole will cause the plastic to create divits as the vacuum will pull it into the hole. The smaller bits allow for suction without imperfections in the plastic.
Step 12: Step 10: Vacuum Form Tray
Prep your mold for forming. This mainly entails covering your mold with vasaline, yes vasaline. It creates a thin layer between the mold and plastic and allows the part to be removed from the mold easily.
Take the mold and place it in the vacuum former and lower the bed. Then you clamp the plastic sheet on the frame (spectar 1/4" thick sheet). Then you heat the plastic. It will take a a few minutes on high, but with this mold being so tall I needed to thoroughly heat it to allow it to properly stretch. Unclamp the plastic and flip it to expose the cooler bottom plastic. Then heat this side to get an even elasticity.
Once it heats, the plastic will drop about 10 to 12 inches, then it is ready to be vacuum formed for this mold. Remove the heaters and pull up the bed with the mold while turning on the vacuum at the same time.
Step 13: Step 11: Make Final Cuts for Plastic Tray
Take the part and wipe it down. Take heavy masking tape or substitute and tape it on the bottom and top of the plastic sheet where you will be making your cuts. Build up a few layers of tape. Using the bandsaw on plastic will sometimes tend to shatter or crack the plastic so you have to be careful and gentle when cutting your plastic. The tape seems to help prevent less chipping or cracking. Mark your lines for the cut using a grease pencil on the tape.
Cut your piece out and sand your edges.
Note: if you have any shallow scratches on your plastic use a small torch to remove them, just quickly move your flame over them and they will disappear.
Step 14: Step 12: Glue Up the Undercarriage
Sand all your pieces and prepare for your glue up. Using an orbital sander and a wide range of grits gets it as smooth as possible.
Step 15: Step 13: Attach the Table Top
I used floating table clips to attach the table top. This will allow the ability for the pieces to move due to the swelling of wood during warmer weather.
Step 16: Step 14: Apply Varnish
Use a tung oil gel varnish to coat your wood. I didn't use any stains because of the woods natural beauty. Hand rub with a rag then remove excess with a dry rag.
Step 17: Step 15: Insert Tray and Enjoy!
After the top is attached, simply place your tray in and a magazine. Enjoy.
This is an excellent design that really is usable. An alternative to using plastic would be making the piece out of wood with a slightly different design. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!

You must be an Industrial Design student! Looks just like furniture studio. Great work!!
At first glance I thought that was a coffee filter hanging under the table! Defiantly would have made the ultimate "coffee" table! Nice work and good luck in the next round. Scott
Me too, I totally agree with you, lol!;-)
Very cool sketching! I'm just looking quickly on my mobile so haven't looked at all steps as didn't bother signing in properly, but did you build it with the turned bowls in the end, I loved that feature, great for when having friends round and movie nights to put your crisps and snacks in, im assuming that was the original idea behind the sunken domes? I absolutely love the super new retro design, my wife would hate it! Everyone's different I guess! Well done!
whats the machanism of moveing the mold?
Great project! I love your species selection, I am a huge fan of domestics. I am wondering about the 'floating table clips,' what are they exactly, could you point to an example on the internet? Thank you for this great instructable, I also love the use of vacuum forming.
Reminds me of my days at RIT
Love your design - you are great!
that picture... wood-coloured, but what is it?
I can't see enough of the grain, but it's either curly maple or maple burl. Do a google image search for it. It's a gorgeous wood when it's finished right.
i love you. great great instructable. thank you!
Love the illustrations. Great sketch-ups!
Very well done. I miss my school's shop. Now all I have to work with is a miter saw and a drill, more or less. I really like the modular design you have sketched out, but it would definitely be more work.
nice table. nice sketches too! i.d. students i'm guessing? ;)
That is a great looking table. Very chic.

Wall Street, Main Street, and Pennsylvania Avenue : the effect of stock ownership on political behavior in the U.S.
Wakao, Shinya
MetadataShow full item record
This dissertation examines the effect of stock ownership on individuals' political behavior. I analyzed not only individual-level data to examine the effect of stock ownership on their economic knowledge and policy preferences but also macro-level data to analyze the change of ideology and relationship between presidential approval rate, macroeconomic indicators such as stock market indexes, unemployment rate, inflation rate, and consumer confidence. Additionally, I analyzed how the media treated stock market news politically over the past three decades. To understand how the traditional media treats Wall Street news over the decades, I analyzed the New York Times from 1981 to 2012 and USA Today from 1991 to 2012 by Wordfish and topic models and found that Wall Street news became political news, especially during the economic crisis and presidential election years. Despite conservative policy analysts predicting that owning stocks makes people's political behavior change and that stockowners will support the Republican Party, I find that the effect of stock ownership is different between direct and indirect stockowners. Because a lot of indirect stockowners own stocks just because their companies provided employees stock-related products such as a 401(k) as part of their benefits, indirect stockowners are less active than direct stockowners in terms of their financial managements. The policy attitudes are also different depending on the policies themselves. That is, the stockowners' effect is conditional. I also find that even though stockowners are familiar with the current stock market conditions, their knowledge about other macroeconomic indicators at is the same level as non-stockowners.

About Frogmore Garden and Open Day
Built in the 17th century, Frogmore House became a royal residence in 1792 when it was purchased by Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III. Since then, successive monarchs have enjoyed the tranquil surroundings and delightful interiors. Although it is no longer an occupied royal residence, Frogmore House is frequently used by the Royal Family for private entertaining.
The interior of Frogmore House bears testimony to the interests and talents of the generations of the royal family who have resided there. Queen Charlotte and her daughters' passions for art and botany are reflected throughout the house, and works by the Duchess of Kent, who lived at Frogmore for almost 20 years, and those by her daughter Queen Victoria can be seen on display.
May 2019 marks the 200th anniversary of the death of the renowned flower painter Mary Moser, who was commissioned by Queen Charlotte to decorate a room at Frogmore House with garlands of flowers simulating an arbour open to the skies. The room was said to have been Queen Charlotte's favourite, and she commanded that it should thereafter be named The Mary Moser Room.
The 35-acre gardens at Frogmore House are one of its most enduring attractions. First laid out for Queen Charlotte in the 1790s, they are based on a model 'picturesque' landscape. In 1867 Queen Victoria wrote, 'this dear lovely garden…all is peace and quiet and you only hear the hum of the bees, the singing of the birds.'
The design and planting scheme of the gardens today incorporates additions made under the direction of Queen Victoria and Queen Mary, as well as a number of trees and shrubs added to mark Her Majesty The Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977. Today, visitors can enjoy gentle garden walks and views of Queen Victoria's Tea House and the 18th-century lake.
Thursday, 30 May – National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society
The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) is the only patient-led organisation in the UK providing support and advocacy for the 400,000 adults living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the 12,000 children and young people living with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), serious, painful autoimmune conditions with no cure. The diseases impact quality of life massively for individuals and their families and can shorten life expectancy. NRAS's mission is to support everyone living with RA and JIA, to be their first choice for reliable information and to empower all to take control of their condition. NRAS also works with government and key stakeholders including the NHS, British Society for Rheumatology and NICE to improve standards and access to best care for all.

A combination of the Dynamic Arm and the Pitcher's Friend, this accessory has the convenience and economy of having handles and cuffs attached to the same tubing to allow for a maximum variety of exercises. Both cushioned handles and padded wrist bands (cuffs) are attached to five foot sections of resistance tubing. Looped ends provide for attachment to handles/wrist bands (cuffs) and anchor (sold as pairs).
The use of a connecting device, such as a snap hook, can extend the useful life of resistance tubing by protecting the tubing from nicks, cuts, abrasions, and/or scratches from its anchor.

Apple has said that it is aware of a vulnerability in its iPhone that will be fixed in a software update next month.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH), a flaw allows anyone to gain access to the phone function without the need to enter a passcode by pressing some touchscreen buttons and a physical button. Using this method, the SMH was able to make phone calls on a passcode-protected iPhone 4 with the latest software updates and also send emails of contact cards, all without entering the PIN.
However the bypass failed to work on an iPhone 3GS but it did work on the older 3G phone. Apple said that it is 'aware' of the flaw and will fix it in a software update next month.
It said in a statement: "We're aware of this issue and we will deliver a fix to customers as part of the iOS 4.2 software update in November."
Alan Bentley, SVP international at Lumension, said: "The reported flaw in the iOS4 operating system comes as absolutely no surprise. With the mass adoption of high profile devices like the iPhone, it was only a matter of time before cyber criminals turned their attention to this new data hotbed and began to find ways to crack the codes and unlock the valuable assets within them.
"In addition to the obvious impact this threat could have on consumers, businesses worldwide have issued iPhones to employees to support mobile working. With the vulnerability potentially exposing reams of personal and corporate data, this is a threat Apple must tackle quickly. Until now, security concerns over smartphones have been about protecting the data being sent from the device and unauthorised connectivity into corporate networks, but now users have to be equally mindful of what, or who, might get in.
"An initial step businesses can take is to ensure that all employees are fully aware of the risk at hand with this new threat, until Apple releases the necessary patching to tackle the flaw and close the gates and keep the bad guys at bay once again."
PC World reported that the passcode bypass bug can be reproduced by touching the Emergency Call button on the Enter Passcode screen, then on the Emergency Call screen, a user dials a non-emergency number (such as '#') and hits the call button immediately followed by the hold/lock button on the top of the phone. It is demonstrated in this YouTube video.
