You’re packed up and ready to go in a flash: that’s the benefit of owning a trailer tent, but is understanding and taking out the right Trailer Tent Insurance quite so easy?
Trailer tents really are the best of both worlds when it comes to camping and caravanning. They aren’t as big or bulky to store as a caravan, and come with many of the comforts of home, including proper beds, and kitchen facilities: all folded neatly away and ready to use when you need them. Storage, in fact, is one of the trailer tent’s biggest selling points: both in terms of a unit’s storage capacity, and its ability to be stored away easily.
As some types of trailer tents (folding campers, for instance) are part tent, and part caravan, many people find choosing the best insurance for the unit a little confusing. Yet, while it’s not a legal requirement to have Trailer Tent Insurance –you’ll be covered for third party liability under your motor insurance policy while you’re towing on the road – it does cover you for repair or replacement if your trailer tent is damaged either at home or while touring. It also covers your liability for any injuries to others or to their property, caused by your trailer tent while you’re on site too.
As it’s less secure than a caravan, having the right levels of cover in place is essential for your trailer tent and the things you keep within it. So here, we take a look at the main areas of cover, and some of the decisions you need to make when choosing your insurance policy.
Which trailer tent cover do you need to consider, and why?
When you’re choosing your Trailer Tent Insurance, there are a number of different options for you to consider, and which ones you choose will really depend on the type and age of your trailer tent, and, of course, how you intend to use it.
This insurance covers any physical loss or damage to your trailer tent, and much of the equipment and items that you use and store within and around it. Some exclusions will generally apply, such as cover for cash, computers or cycles.
When you agree, at the start of the policy, what you’ll receive should your trailer tent be lost or damaged. This is especially useful if you’ve invested in modifications to your trailer tent, and you believe it’s worth more than the current market value.
When you agree, at the start of the policy, that should your trailer tent be damaged beyond repair, you’ll receive a new trailer tent to the same specification as the one you’ve just lost. This is especially useful if your trailer tent is a little older, as it may be difficult to replace it like-for-like with the market value amount.
When you agree, at the start of the policy, that should your trailer tent be damaged beyond repair, you’ll receive an amount equal to the current market value of your trailer tent at that time.
This section of your insurance applies when your trailer tent becomes uninhabitable as a result of an insured incident, and will cover some of the costs of alternative accommodation while you’re away from home. It may also cover you for returning your personal effects and contents to your home address.
This section covers the compensation you may be liable to pay out should your trailer tent cause injury or death to a member of the public, or damage to their property.
Under your personal accident cover, you’ll be able to claim if you, or a member of your family, is injured while in your trailer tent. For instance, Club Care Insurance offers up to £50,000 personal accident cover, for both members and non-members.
Make sure you’re clear on exactly who is insured under this section, and the levels of benefits for each injury type before you set out.
It’s also worth checking that your insurance covers you while touring abroad, and if you’re planning to loan your trailer tent to family or friends to take away by themselves, it’s a good idea to check the cover for that, too. You may also be able to add on cover for sports equipment, such as fishing rods, wetsuits and surfboards.
Your insurer may also reward you with discounts for some security measures – for instance, Club Care offers a discount to Club members for using a TyrePal pressure monitoring system and a 20% discount for four or more years no claims.
The Camping and Caravanning Club’s Club Care Trailer Tent Insurance provides options to suit all budgets and levels of use.

To keep lessons from diminishing to “same old, same old,” savvy trainers diversify their plans. They learn from every breed and discipline to keep themselves and their students on track and engaged.
Some teach multiple disciplines to provide variety. “All of my students cross disciplines,” confirms Carrie Everhart of Shawnee Acres Sport Horses (www.shawneeacres.net) in Lucama, N.C. With 17 years of teaching, Everhart says her people enjoy mostly hunters, but also dressage shows, cross-country schooling and low-level horse trials, even Western shows.
“Showmanship in hand is an excellent discipline for kids,” she says. Most of her clients participate in 4-H, where showmanship, with its patterns and turns, is required. Everhart finds value in every discipline. “There are always things you can gain even if what you gain is what you don’t want to do. A technique from another discipline can often help with one particular horse or problem,” she says.
Everhart also believes that “instruction is important, but I don’t want my students to miss out on fun that can also lead to good horsemanship.” For that, her toolbox involves riders working patterns with cones, poles and completing specific movements in certain places. Plastic rings hang on jump standards: riders weave through cones, retrieving the rings. It’s “fun work” to encourage focus on something other than riding, and is especially good for timid kids, she says, to help encourage maturity and responsibility in the saddle.
A little freshening up never hurts horse, rider and trainer. Morgan professional Stacy Hennessy of Gerry Rushton Stables (www.rushtonstables.com) in Gavalin Hills, Calif., says, “When everyone feels like they’re in a rut or something’s not getting done with a horse, I collaborate with my two colleagues.” For a change of scene, trainers may swap out client horses for a week—and clients, too. “I may work on bending through the corners, while my training partner focuses on speed of the gait,” says Hennessy.
Sometimes a simple change of scene ratchets the horse—and the lesson—up a notch, albeit safely. Morgans appreciate the nuances of a different environment, explains Hennessy, who’s trained 16 years.
“People assume that the way they trot—with a high head set—means they’re spooky. Not so. Morgans are a very inquisitive sort. Changing locations encourages stimulation and excitement,” she says.
It’s best to keep things fresh when teaching lessons. After 40 years of teaching, Beth Thomas of Stone Hollow Sport Horses in Johnston, Pa., still gets excited by her program. She’s another creative trainer who mixes it up with hunt seat, “bits of” dressage, and eventing.
She reads constantly “to stay on top” of all the disciplines, including Western and saddle seat. “I like to have an intelligent conversation with any horse person I meet,” she says. And there’s no turning up her nose at others. “If it’s what you like, good for you!” she says.
Thomas knows the best-laid plans don’t work if the horse has a different agenda. Today…lead changes? No? “The horse will tell me. I adapt to his mood,” Thomas says.
With adult amateurs in her barn, she must adapt to their moods, too. They might not always be totally focused, so she’ll add spice—like hunters doing dressage or eventers moving long and low like a hunter. She welcomes trail obstacles when riding outside.
Clients definitely ride because of that enjoyment factor, reason enough to keep lessons perky and students constantly motivated. A leading breeder and trainer of American Quarter Horses since 1985, Stephen Stephens (no relation to the author), centers his program on youth, amateur and open riders at his and wife Cindy’s Riverside Ranch (www.riversideranch.com) in Weatherford, Texas. He’s all about “self-fueling” successful lesson agendas. With several kids achieving national showing levels, he’s proven the approach works. He fires students up with simple, effective objectives and goals.
Each child receives a notebook with her name and the ranch’s name printed on the cover. Stellar lessons earn a gold or silver sticker as a reward and as an “attagirl!” encouragement. “Parents look at this and just love it,” he says. The technique often yields a client for life.
It’s a cognitive technique he employs with all his students—keep thinking about your next ride, wherever you are. “Hold the core of your body. If you’re used to dropping that right shoulder, don’t, even when you’re standing while talking to someone,” he urges. Use the stairs in a new way. Walk up while remaining centered over your hips, retain your good posture, then drop and stretch that calf.
And he urges the adults to do this as well as the kids. And they heed the idea. Stephens says his mind-body-strengthening games “have adults acting like children,” and it’s all good.
He also suggests fellow trainers establish and nurture an equine internship program with local colleges and universities that offer equine science or related coursework. His interns help him, the beginner students help the interns, and it’s one, big happy and productive family. The positive, cumulative synergy and vibe translates into lessons that succeed, as evidenced by the four national high-point leaders in his barn.
She works hard to know how her students tick and how they learn—what inspires them. With a nod to Disney, Lee asks her students what they’ve always dreamed about doing on horseback. “Maybe they’ve seen it in a book or a movie. It may really motivate that person,” she says.
Each day’s teaching can be spontaneous, for as a self-confessed “voracious learner,” Lee incorporates a new exercise or image whenever possible. In winter, she takes students to horse expos to broaden their perceptions of the horse world, and she always sets clear, attainable goals in the ring, whether six months out or a week away.

Today is the Autumnal equinox, the official start of fall in the northern hemisphere. For the past few days in New Jersey, we've seen the indicators of the end of summer, with low humidity, falling leaves and crisp nights replacing the balmy, hot weather we've experienced the past few months. But with fall comes the inevitable onslaught of pumpkin-flavored, well, everything.
The rise of the emoji is an interesting phenomenon in our tech-savy world. Our earliest ancestors utilized pictographs and ideograms to represent physical items and ideas. However, as the alphabet system evolved and spread through the cultures of the world, our system of naming and signifying objects became enhanced and more complicated. Over the past 25 years, however, more and more people started to turn to the modern hieroglyphic, the emoji, to express their ideas.

Most people, regardless whether they work for themselves or for an employer, enjoy being busy. It helps time pass faster during the workday and it keeps your bottom line nice and black. Even when busy times are stressful, they are often productive, motivating, and sometimes, even fun.
Occasionally, though, busy turns to something more. Being too busy for too long or having too many things do in a period of time can lead to feeling overwhelmed. This is when that slightly frazzled on-your-game feeling spins out of control. Suddenly, you are frustrated and not sure where to turn.
Buried beneath a windfall of work?
Even if things are slow right now and you cannot imagine ever complaining about feeling busy, the time will come when you can barely see beyond your giant to-do list. These strategies help you get things under control and return to feeling productive and efficient.
One of the best ways to create a less intense schedule is to move some of the work off your plate. The work must still be completed, but not necessarily by you.
Break the project into smaller pieces and delegate certain parts of it to someone else.
This might be co-workers, but during the busiest times of the year, your co-workers are also feeling overwhelmed. Business owners might not even have co-workers.
Hiring freelance service providers to handle a portion of a project is your best option.
Hire someone to complete a specific task or find someone willing to take on work on an ongoing basis.
That’s the benefit of working with a freelancer – there is no need to create a part-time or full-time job for the person. You’ll have complete control over the delegation and the budget. If all you need is support for a few days worth of work, you can contract with someone for this short period of time. This arrangement works just as well for small business owners as it does for large corporations.
Do you find yourself in a feast or famine environment too often? Many small business owners experience busy seasons. Sometimes, these seasons are unpredictable. This results in a rush to find clients that becomes a windfall of clients dumping far too much work on your doorstep. This is a great problem to have, but it can get out of control.
Instead of riding the waves, institute a retainer system. Request clients issue a payment in advance of assigning work. This retainer system is used by attorneys and in a variety of other industries. The payment you receive is intended to keep your time free until work is needed.
There are a few different ways to set up a retainer system.
Ask clients to make a retainer payment in advance and complete work that equals the amount of that payment.
At a certain point the client must refresh the retainer in order to guarantee your time in the future.
Another option is to require a retainer payment each month regardless how much work is completed.
Clients pay a fee per month to have you at his or her disposal whether that amount of work is needed or not.
Retainer fees can be a tough sell, but some are willing to create this arrangement because it saves them time and frustration. They know they have a capable service provider available on a moment’s notice. Even if you are unable to structure your entire business in this manner, creating a few retainer relationships can help you manage your time and prevent that feast or famine phase you want to avoid.
Finally, if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed with the amount of work you have to do on a regular basis, it might be time to re-evaluate your work schedule. Are you self-employed and spending more time marketing than completing work?
There is a tendency for small business owners to never shift out of hustle mode. Though you should never be completely comfortable resting on your laurels, there does come a time your safety nets are enough to protect you.
Shift your hustle approach to making yourself more valuable to your best clients instead of seeking out new ones.
You can scale back on marketing without giving it up – which you should never do!
Employees struggling to balance work time can enhance time management skills. If 10 things need to be done by Friday, do two per day instead of nine on Thursday night. Evaluate your progress at the end of each day and determine by mid-week if you need to ask for assistance.
Your work schedule can be affected by those around you, especially when you work for a traditional employer and have little control over those working with you. This is where outsourcing can give you more control of your workload.
Give your freelancer a deadline a few days prior to your deadline.
Outsourcers are not directly involved with your company, so if you build a cushion into your due date, they must abide by your schedule. Your control of the schedule gives you time to review the work from freelancers before the bewitching hour.
Looking for other ways to fight the feeling of overwhelm you occasionally encounter? Are you a small business owner with too much already on your plate and you feel as if you are missing out on important business opportunities? Outsourcing is an effective solution to managing your time wisely and accomplishing all of your goals.

Splitting 5-4, the US Supreme Court held that automobile service advisors are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act, and thus are not entitled to overtime payments. Encino Motorcars v. Navarro (US Supreme Court 04/02/2018) [PDF].
Perhaps the most important takeaway from this decision is the point that the Court rejects the principle that that FLSA exemptions should be construed narrowly. Instead, the exemptions should be given their "fair meaning."
The FLSA exempts from the overtime pay requirement "any salesman, partsman, or mechanic primarily engaged in selling or servicing automobiles" at a covered dealership.
The case was at the US Supreme Court in 2016 - Encino Motorcars, LLC v. Navarro (US Supreme Court 06/20/2016) [PDF]. Then the big question was whether to defer to the Department of Labor's most recent flip-flop on the issue. The Court (all eight Justices) agreed that no deference was warranted as to the Department of Labor's most recent iteration of an interpretation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. But rather than giving us its interpretation of the statute, the Court (6-2) sent the case back to the 9th Circuit to do that work. The 9th Circuit again found the service advisors are non-exempt, and the case once again went to the Supreme Court.
"Under the best reading of the text, service advisors are 'salesm[e]n,' and they are 'primarily engaged in . . . servicing automobiles.'"
"A service advisor is obviously a 'salesman.' * * * The ordinary meaning of 'salesman' is someone who sells goods or services."
"Service advisors are also 'primarily engaged in . . . servicing automobiles.' * * * The word 'servicing' in this context can mean either 'the action of maintaining or repairing a motor vehicle' or '[t]he action of providing a service.' * * * Service advisors satisfy both definitions."
"Service advisors, such as respondents, neither sell automobiles nor service (i.e., repair or maintain) vehicles. Rather, they 'meet and greet [car] owners'; 'solicit and sugges[t]' repair services 'to remedy the [owner’s] complaints'; 'solicit and suggest . . . supplemental [vehicle] service[s]'; and provide owners with cost estimates."

Medicaid dental insurance in Virginia is available to qualifying applicants who meet income, age and covered group restrictions. However, comprehensive Virginia Medicaid dental insurance is not available to all qualifying beneficiaries. Instead, comprehensive Medicaid dental coverage is only available to low-income children who are 21 years of age and younger and qualifying pregnant women. While Medicaid dental benefits are available to older beneficiaries as well, these services are limited to medically necessary procedures. To enroll in VA Medicaid dental insurance, claimants must apply for benefits through Smiles for Children, a program under the Commonwealth of Virginia. Anyone who is eligible for dental insurance in Virginia obtains their benefits through the Smiles for Children program, even if claimants are 21 years of age or older. To learn more about Medicaid dental insurance eligibility requirements and the enrollment procedures, applicants can download our comprehensive guide here. To learn more about Medicaid dental coverage plans and get information who is eligible to receive services, potential enrollees review the information below.
What is Medicaid dental insurance in Virginia?
If Virginia Medicaid dental insurance cannot cover a specific type of service, the dentist will notify the family before treating the patient.
While full Medicaid dental benefits are only available to children, qualifying adults 21 years of age or older receive coverage for medically necessary oral procedures or associated diagnostic services. Limited Medicaid dental assistance may also include biopsies or the removal of tumors, tooth extractions or the repair of traumatic wounds. However, adult patients must first obtain prior authorization from a medical doctor. Additionally, eligible pregnant women receive dental Medicaid coverage throughout the length of their pregnancy. Applicants should learn more about medical and dental Medicaid eligibility requirements in VA before signing up for health programs to make sure the program will meet the needs of the household.
To be eligible for Medicaid dental insurance in Virginia, claimants must qualify for medical benefits under the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS). Residents may obtain Medicaid dental Coverage if they meet all age, income, resource and covered group requirements during the Medicaid application process. For instance, claimants may enroll in Medicaid dental insurance under the Families & Children (F&C) covered group if their income falls below the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and they meet age restrictions. For instance, Medicaid dental insurance in Virginia is available to qualifying pregnant women, children, medically needy claimants, former foster care children and parents or relative caretakers. Furthermore, Medicaid dental insurance is available to low-income claimants under the Aged, Blind & Disabled (ABD) covered group as well. To obtain Medicaid dental benefits under the ABD group, petitioners must be at least 65 years of age or older, be medically needy, blind or disabled, or receive hospice care. However, full dental coverage is only available to children 21 years of age or younger and eligible pregnant women.
To enroll in Medicaid dental insurance in Virginia, qualifying enrollees must apply for benefits through the state’s medical assistance program. Residents automatically receive Medicaid dental coverage if they complete the application process for Medicaid, FAMIS Plus or FAMIS and receive approval from the state deems for medical assistance eligibility. To obtain Medicaid dental insurance in Virginia, however, petitioners do not need to complete a separate application for benefits. Instead, residents who need Medicaid dental insurance may complete an Application for Health Coverage & Help Paying Costs and submit the completed form to their local Department of Social Services (DSS) office in person or by mail. Alternately, claimants may apply for Medicaid dental insurance benefits and medical coverage online or by telephone. After completing an Application for Health Coverage & Help Paying Costs, eligible claimants will receive medical and dental benefits. To receive coverage under Virginia Medicaid dental insurance, however, patients must visit a participating provider under the Smiles for Children network.
Additionally, residents who meet Virginia Medicaid dental insurance Eligibility Requirements do not receive a separate membership card. Instead, residents who receive Medicaid dental benefits may use a Commonwealth of Virginia plastic identification card or a Managed Care Organization (MCO) membership card.

The world’s first hydrogen wind turbine is to become a reality in the Wieringermeer area at the start of 2019. This is the objective of a partnership formed between initiator and sustainable hydrogen supplier HYGRO, wind turbine manufacturer Lagerwey and research institute ECN. The wind turbine will be producing hydrogen for the Duwaal project, the initiative of a wind-ranging consortium in the North Holland region led by HYGRO. The consortium’s aim is to implement the chain of sustainable hydrogen production, distribution to at least 5 hydrogen fuel stations and 100 hydrogen trucks simultaneously.
The 4.8 MW Lagerwey wind turbine will be converted to allow it to incorporate electrolysis technology. Integration of both proven technologies will enable many components to be omitted, making the hydrogen production cheaper, more efficient and more robust.
The hydrogen wind turbine, the first of its kind, is to be demonstrated on ECN’s wind turbine testing field at Wieringerwerf. In the future, wind turbines will ideally be connected up to a hydrogen gas network rather than an electricity grid. Transporting hydrogen by pipeline is significantly cheaper than transporting electricity by cable. Furthermore, pipelines serve as an inherent buffer, as a result of which significantly less harmonisation of supply and demand is required, one of the challenges that ‘regular’ wind and solar energy face. The sustainably produced hydrogen will be used within the compass of the Duwaal project in so-called fuel cell electric trucks. In addition to preventing CO2 emissions, this will also dispense with noise nuisance and emissions of NOx- and particulate matter. Hence the project will show how future energy infrastructure could take shape.

LPG system for direct injection engines. Advantages.
More and more drivers are using LPG as an alternative fuel for their cars, mainly because of the rise in fuel prices and the high levels of air pollution. The trend of shifting from port injection to LPG direct Injection engine cars is strongly upward in Western Europe, but also in Bulgaria. The propane-butane fuel enters the engine in a gaseous state and is easily mixed with the air. The injection evenly fills the engine cylinders with a homogeneous fuel-air mixture that burns almost completely.
In a direct injection (DI) engine, the fuel is highly pressurized and injected via a common rail fuel line directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder.
The direct injection of LPG allows for more precise control of the fuel quantity and the cycle time through which it is injected into the cylinder. Thus, for maximum power, the entire amount of fuel in the suction manifold can be injected, while for maximum economy, it is possible to inject less fuel during the compression stroke.
Shifting from port injection to direct injection engines is a growing trend in the automotive industry.
The main reasons why direct injection engines were developed are to reduce tailpipe CO2 emissions from cars to fight against global warming, and to increase vehicles’ fuel economy.
According to the statistics of the European LPG Association, over 8 million vehicles in the EU use LPG and the gas stations that offer it in the member states are approximately 31,000. f you have not taken the advantage of direct propane-butane injections now is the time to improve your car’s performance, to drive economically and environmentally.

After the cut scene you'll need to follow the Harpies into their nst. So jump back to the platform that the old man is on and use Angel lift to enter the door above the ground.
Keep following the Harpies, then pull out a section of the wall to create a path for Dante. Unfortunately the Harpies won't let you catch up so easily, they'll deform the land.
Climb up to a section of the wall with an opening on it and use Eryx to smash the red crystal and open a new path. There's another crystal at the end of the corridor, smash that too and grab the Vital Star inside.
Now use Demon pull on the stone that's floating just outside the last arc on the far left end of the area (near where you got the Vital star). A boost ring will appear.
Use the boost ring to get back on the Harpies trail and continue following them.
But before you can do that a train will get in your way. Be mindful of the train as it can damage and kill you if you get hit by it.
So make your way towards the Harpies, jump across the gaps when they appear.
Occasionally a train will pass, just stick to the wall that won't get hit by it and you'll be fine. It's pretty easy to predict whether it's going to be on the left or the right side depending on the stop lights.
Once you manage to follow the Harpies towards the platform area of the subway, demons will start attacking you. The first wave will be some Stygians and a Hell Knight. As usual eliminate the Stygians first before going after the Hell Knight.
After you kill off all the demons in the first wave a Frost Knight and 2 Death Knights will attack you. Don't worry about the train as it can't hit you unless you're up in the air. Kill the Frost Knight first but be careful of the Death Knights while you're doing it.
After you've killed all of the demons the path will open and you'll be able to proceed further inside the station. So climb up the opening and turn right. A demonic shard will appear at the landing. Shoot it with Ebony and Ivory to eliminate it and proceed further down the stairs.
Another demonic shard will spawn on the second landing. Kill it and destroy the red crystal with Eryx.
Jump down and use the Divinity Statue if you ned it. Then proceed further down the corridor and follow the Harpies.
A few demonic shards will appear so go trigger happy on them. Once they're dead follow the Harpies again.
Once you arrive at the nest you'll find the old man's eye and also get ambushed by Harpies. Another thing is you already know that the glass will shatter if you step on it too much.
As soon as the battle begins use Angel lift to get yourself airborne. I recommend using a mixtrure of Osiris and Rebellion attacks on the harpies to keep yourself in the air longer.
Whenever you start falling use the Angel lift again to gain more height. Keep on killing all of the harpies this way and also some occasional pathos.
The downside to this is that it's very hard to dodge the enemy's attacks since you're in the air. But it's safer than being on the ground and risking breaking the glass and falling. Eventually you'll be able to thin out the enemies.
Once all of the demons are gone look for the Angel lift mark on platform 1. Some demonic shards will spawn. Kill them as quickly as possible and kill the lost soul at the end of the corridor.
Now head back out through the door marked with "Way out" and back track to the beginning of the tunnels.
Once you get to the platform area a pair of rage will appear. Kill them off quickly it's gonna be easier to take care of them in this area cause it's a lot larger and you can dodge without worrying about falling.
Once you kill them head back up the train tracks into the previous room where you came through before.
You'll be attacked by a pair of Death Knights and a Tyrant. Take care of the Tyrant first before dealing with the Death knights. The linear area will make it hard for you to dodge the Tyrant if you don't take care of it first.
After you kill the demons make your way back to the old man and return his eye.

Sup ! I love Duik 16 !! and Structure ! And Connector and ALL !!!
but maybe there is a chance that the Lock property buttons will come back sometime or in the near future?
Or maybe he is and I do not see him ?!
Can I ask you if there are particular cases where you need it?
But i find it useful in animation too !
I had to go back to the previous version I had (v15.11) just for that button! It's extremely useful not only in rigging but also for other projects just as templating. I use Duik for everything haha.
I hope it gets added if it hasn't already!
It is in Duik Bassel (only in standard or expert mode I think).

Debottlenecking requirements are usually initiated by a desire to improve the output from an established manufacturing process. An increase in product demand and/or productivity improvements in certain areas will highlight constraints, pinch points or bottlenecks in the overall manufacturing process. This will naturally limit company profitability in terms of volumes produced, cost per unit or even product quality. Debottlenecking therefore maximises the profitability of an existing plant – often at much less cost than building new facilities – and can be an iterative process whereby the plant can see improvements such that it’s productivity becomes significantly higher than its original design capacity.
Consideration for future expansion, changes in manufacturing methods or alternative products should always be considered at the initial design stage and PM PROjEN always include alternative scenarios as part of the initial project execution plan – eg utilising equipment with a greater variety of use, oversizing certain critical pieces of equipment if economically viable or enabling future replacement to be done easily.
It is often the case that minor changes in equipment or operations can significantly improve the capacity of an existing facility and these can sometimes better be seen by others who have a fresh view on the operation. PM PROjEN have extensive experience at looking at a variety of manufacturing processes and can readily conduct an audit and propose a range of improvements which take on board the project cost vs increased capacity delivered.

Nairobi (Agenzia Fides) - In the urban area of Nairobi, there are about 60 thousand street children and about 22 thousand under-age refugees. Thanks to the development of a project that uses sport as a driving force, we want to offer life alternatives to street children and under-age refugees in Nairobi. We are talking about Boresha Maisha which was launched in spring 2017 by the Medical Collaboration Committee (CCM).
In the great slum of Mathare, the CCM is committed to defending and assisting girls and boys and street children through an individual psycho-social path aimed at school reintegration, vocational training and reintegration in the family.
"The project will last three years, during which 50 social workers, 15 members of the Community Health Committees and 120 community social-health workers will be trained to adequately address the problems of street children, such as the abuse of drugs and sexually transmitted diseases", according to the note sent to Fides by the project leaders.
"We will defend and assist girls and boys and street children. Our goal will be first of all to identify the situations of hardship, reach them and offer a real possibility of change. Through sport, 500 children will face life in a different way, feeling part of a team, in a positive environment", says CCM.
Last December, the first tournament for street families was held in partnership with other organizations in Nairobi that deal with street children.

Iconoclast stood with his back against the slimy, pea-green wall on the north side of the ravine. His most trusted fighters surrounded him in a semicircle, the growing number of demons stood in larger semicircles around them, spanning the ravine to the slimed walls on the south side. He grinned. Just like all good vultures, they could smell blood and had come from around this puny world to feast on those that had taken it upon themselves to live here.
was their top priority. These eight had been with him in defeat in Josiah Williams’ horrid small town and in near-victory over the village in China. One man of God stood between him and complete conquest at that battle.
If you are looking for a goosebump producing supernatural thriller, and/or enjoy the epic battle between good and evil, then the Iconoclast series is for you. Available where fine books are sold.

This article was originally posted at Goldsmiths Department of Computing’s Blog here.
PhD student Pierre-François Gerard reports on the International Conference on Spatial Cognition, which took place in Rome on 6-11 September 2015.
It felt good to leave the already cold London weather early this September and land in Roma’s Mediterranean climate for a whole week of International Conference on Spatial Cognition. What a city, what a history! My daytime was packed with talks and lectures, each giving a different take on situated cognition. My nights were dedicated to applying all those theories along hours of walking and navigating this old city filled with memories.
The conference venue was an interesting building to start with. Situated in an old neighbourhood east of Termini Station, part of Sapienza – Università di Roma, the faculty of psychology was barely recognisable from the street. However, once you got inside, the space was quite remarkable. There was this wide and long mildly inclined ramp punctuated by little steps distributing students and conference participants alike to the four levels of rooms and auditorium. At the back, there was a large court yard to share thoughts and eat lunch in the sunlight.
The main keynotes were given on the top floor. Arrived only on Tuesday afternoon, I missed Monday keynote lecture with Kevin O’Regan: Constructing space: A theoretical basis for how naive artificial or biological agents can construct spatial notions . A couple of early friends informed me that although O’Regan is a quite prolific author, this presentation wasn’t that great. There is plenty to catch up online anyway. On Tuesday was Vittorio Gallese important keynote on Embodied Simulation and the Space around us. He explained the main concept of inter- and extra-personal space used by a lot of authors that week.
The first keynote I attended was quite enlightening on the scientific methodology developed by psychologists. Yan Bao, associate professor from Peking University, explained step by step what is “attention” and how does it work through human’s eyes. To do so, she scientifically answered one very specific question by doing one very specific experiment. From there, a new question arise that lead to the next experiment that will bring a new answer and suggest the following question, and so forth. She presented a cascade of 12 studies based on a cueing task, mainly to demonstrate the effect of “Inhibition of Return”; the ecological significance of this mechanism being that it favours novelty and curiosity.
The next keynote, Inter-subjective relations in lived space and instituted space was given by Shaun Gallagher, an interesting fellow American philosopher. He is actually working with astronauts, trying to understand their feelings in space travel using Virtual Reality. Where it really pumped me up was when he started to talk about how architecture shapes our experience and how we can modulate the way we are experiencing things by modifying our environment. He also coined a powerful concept which is the “affordance landscape”. I will follow him closely.
My favourite lecture was given by Sergei Gepshtein on Solid field of sensitivity: Perceptual structure of immersive space. He works with two well known people, Alex Mc Dowel and Greg Lynn. Alex Mc Dowel was the art producer behind the Minority Report interface and many other film productions. Greg Lynn represent the avant garde of the digital turn in architecture in the nineties with the concept of folding and topological geometry. After a quick reminder of what is the “perspective” we’ve been living by since the 15th century (thanks to Alberti’s “The Pictura”), Gepshtein went on to explain how he is working to change this paradigm; to get past the restriction of this portable window. Their project uses different techniques to go from cinema to immersion by creating maps that can be transferred in solid space: sensory mapping, multi modal design, adaptive smart environment, mixed realities are just a few of the concept mentioned during this really exciting lecture.
Every day started with three simultaneous symposium. A lot to choose, from a large panel of research. A variety of fields were represented: psychology, neuroscience, computer science, architecture, social studies and philosophy, to name just the main ones.
Starting from a philosophical point of view to explain “space concept”, T. Holichka defined what is a virtual place at the confluence of possible worlds and fictional worlds. The importance of the concept of affordances (Warren 1984) and places were then discussed by Jonietz & Timpf from an GIS (Geographic Information System) perspective. After that, some phenomenology were involved by Nitsche to analyse impressionist paintings with the notion of distancing instead of understanding. The main question really was: “How do we perceive space?” which brought the notion of situated knowledge.
The next talk centred on a potential new field of research which I am relating to – Computing Embodied Architecture. Prof. E. Ackerman’s talk on developing more appropriate self-directed learning space for children definitely pulled some strings. Then came Paloma G. Rojas, student from MIT, with a methodical approach applying computational model to analyse our perception of space; best hint so far directly related to my own research.
Wednesday’s symposium on Body & Space, explored the concept of peripersonal space and relative perception through the lens of Virtual Reality (VR). You can find more about this research by searching for the CS-IVR Lab, the Immersive Virtual Reality Laboratory and for Mirage Lab, the Multi Sensory Illusions Laboratory.
Thursday’s theme was Navigation. Researchers presented studies exploring how blind people, children, men and women were using different mechanism to find their way around.
On Friday, we returned to the theme of Embodied Space in Architecture with a neuroscience twist. Peri and extra-personal space were still leading the dance backed up with neurophysiological correlations. One specially engaging presentation on central and peripheral vision by Rooney, brought a striking point on how vision drives two different type of embodiment: projected and extended. The last talk I followed, before having to catch the train, was given by Van der Ham, on human navigation in real and virtual environments, and the role of locomotion. The experiment she presented showed the closest settings to mine: participants have to remember their way inside a 3D virtual environment with landmark images hanging on the the wall.
To summarise, an eclectic field of research was represented at this conference. A variety of presentations were showing a large range of disciplines to study the relation between humans and their surroundings and how we are perceiving our body into space. Embodiment, inter and extra -personal space, affordances and places are the main concepts embedded in the body of those researches. VR is used throughout those studies. It is a fantastic tool of research that allows to approach real world situations yet offering a wide range of control, flexibility and scalability on the designed VEs.
My poster made a good impression. It gave me the opportunity to start a few conversations with different people from all over the world: Columbian, Swedish, Turkish, French and a couple of Italians. Each had their own take on my project, so being here really brought me a lot of value and new perspectives on what I am working on.
Overall, I had a really great experience. From a scientific point of view, it made me realised how narrow the field of research has to be to conduct valid case studies that answer one specific question at a time. Psychology research definitely set definitely the measure on that matter, by processing one variable in a very controlled environment. However, a new trend is to take research much closer to real life situations. It also brings a lot more data to manage. That is where computation power become really handy for two mains reasons: on one hand, computational models help to simulate systems and behaviours, on the other hand, visualisation engine and Virtual Reality help simulate close to real life environments to work with.
The interdisciplinarity of research also aroused my attention – psychologists trying to make sense of architects’ approach about space perception and embodiment, computer scientists questioning behavioural methodology, or even psychologists between themselves – these were all common discussions during the conference. Only a few presentations were really cross-disciplinary; this is a very interesting subject way easier to debate than to put into real practice.
Most of all, it is the excitement and the enthusiasm of those dozen of researchers from every corner of the earth, supported by the strong foundations of Romans walls and history, that I will carry along my own pursuit of adding a stone to existing knowledge.
“Using Spatial Cognition to improve Knowledge Construction” is the title of the chapter we have written with Karl Smith for this book: “Real Virtuality: About the Desctruction and Multiplication of World.” It was a great opportunity to discuss with Karl about our ideas on spatial cognition, technologies and “The Art of Memory”.
Since prehistoric era, humans have always, due to mainly a survival influx, developed a huge sense of memory link to location in their environment. They have learned to master their memory in different ways: by erecting landmarks and designing architecture, they modified their physical environment, and by walking through known and imaginary environments in their mind’s eye, they have trained and increased their virtual memory. After exploring the way humans perceives their environment, we looked at more recent technologies to understand how we could use those to re-master humans huge potential to organise information around them through the lens of the digital age.
The book content a lot more though. There are around twenty texts from different author giving a very faceted lens on the meaning of real virtulaity in the 21st century. It is worth the reading.
Ulrich Gehmann, Martin Reiche (eds.) Transcript Verlag Bielefeld, March 2014.
Increasingly, the virtual became reality by a hybridization of the world as we knew it: the process that went on in recent years is one of a technically assisted hybridization of both space and self, the »old« world is becoming virtualized and functionalized to a degree never experienced before. For the first time in human history, we have reached a threshold where we have not only to re-assert but to redefine ourselves, as regards our fundamental terms of understanding what world means for us, our base of existence and now an assemblage of mixed realities; and connected, what being human means.

Ritsos, Marc Conrad, Pierre-F. Gerard, Randolph Langenbach, Carl H. Smith, Martin Cremers, Chris Gerbing, Manfred Negele, Gerd Stern, Katerina Diamantaki, Kristoffer Getchell, Erhan ÖzeSabine Wilke.
My goal here is neither to build an architectural theory, as many authors have tried without successfully finding a unified one, nor to reduce architecture to mere spatial experimentation. I will instead attempt to unveil the codes that are specific to architectural space, as well as the methods used by architects to design meaningful spaces. From there we will have a better idea on how to use architecture to enhance knowledge construction via hybrid environments.
In Western culture, we had to wait until the emergence of Einstein’s theory of relativity, in order to scientifically reach the conclusion that “Time and space are inextricably connected through the speed of light within a quadri-dimensional space-time (Plank). Space is generally considered as infinite.” This definition lacks clarity from an architectural point of view because it refers to a dimension of reality beyond our tridimensional experience of reality to which Newtonian laws apply. Let’s grasp this from a more philosophical point of view. The encyclopedia reminds us that, “to Democritus, space is an empty receptacle; to Aristotle, it is the boundary surrounding total beings; to Leibniz, space is not something that exists of its own, but rather a representation of the order reigning amongst co-existing units.” [Encyclopedia Universalis] E. Kant leads us to the next important step, since to him space and time are a priori conditions of perception, given before we can even experiment with them. Thus, he defines space as a “system of laws governing the juxtaposition of things related to figures, sizes and distances, allowing us to perceive them“. By studying the above definitions, we understand that it is a person (Aristotle’s “total being,” Leibniz’s “units,” while Kant speaks of perceptions) who perceives space and represents it through different elements (“figures, sizes and distances”).
Different fields of study give us different definitions for space. Euclidian geometry describes a very different space than non-Euclidian geometry does. Indeed, a curved space is very much different than an n-dimensional space. Topology is another very interesting way of describing our environment. Therefore, this very much polysemic concept of space can be used to describe a variety of concepts. Each field of research, each art, each culture, each individual determines his own space. The perception of space is a function of the human body. Space is the result of the representation that an individual or a group of individuals have created. As the concept of space is tied to conventions and codes that allow a group of people – who possess the decoding key – to inhabit the same shared space, our goal is to unveil these codes.
Despite this quite vague concept of space we will now concentrate on the architectural space, its perceptual properties and its meaningful codes. In order to comprehend how architecture’s impact on people, we must first understand how we perceive architecture.
As a starting point we will use the comparison suggested by Jean Piaget , between the ontogenesis of logical structures in children and the genesis of mathematical concepts. Following those observations we will define the processes by which we create representations of our environment since our birth. Through this evolution appeared five fractal stages that help us to comprehend our surrounding. We will use a fractal approach – each stage of resolution includes the previous ones, the part is contained within the whole and the whole within the part – to briefly explore those five stages: from form to object, internal space and perceptions, organization of spaces, external space and urban space.
“By changing space, by leaving the space of ones visual sensibilities, one enters into communication with a space that is psychically innovating. … For we do not change place, we change our nature.” Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space, 1964.

Natural beauty (stem cells in cosmetology) | Институт семейной медицины "Плюс"
Attractive appearance in the dream of all women and many men. Modern cosmetology industry has developed plenty of methods and approaches to improve the appearance. Among these are different masks, youth injections, botox, hyaluronic acid and plastic surgery. Unfortunately, the majority of these methods have some disadvantages: short-term effect and side-effects. The point is that most of the approaches are conducted with the use “alien” affects on the skin and doesn’t consider the dependence of appearance on the healthy inner environment of the body, which are first of all metabolism and the quality of sleep.
Complex use of the stem cells in cosmetology given an opportunity to avoid these disadvantages. The basis of our beauty is the special protein – collagen. The disorder of its production can be seen in the mirror. Collagen is produced by the special cells – fibroblasts. The injections of special stem cells – fibroblasts into the skin provides the production of new young collagen that gives skin elasticity and freshness. Besides, after the special preparation, masks with placenta are applied. Except of the local treatment, the systematic one is conducted – intravenous injection of universal stem cells to correct metabolism and neuro stem cells into biologically active points to stabilize sleep. Except of cosmetologist, also neurologist and endocrinologist take part in treatment. This approach provides high efficiency and long-term effect (minimum 1 year).

Today i'm gonna show the template method design pattern in action. The template method design pattern is a very common when we are developing structures and base classes for a framework.
In our example we will develop a base class with some template methods for all derived concrete calculators. But what are template methods and why shall i use it? Well, think about some operations that must be implemented in a specific way. And you want to ensure it. That's a good reason for it. Another reason is to define the same contract for all instances. And finally because of the DRY principle. (Don't Repeat Yourself) The abstraction will put the code in a central place. This is good for maintance.
A further advantage of it is that the javadoc can be placed in the abstraction only once and must not be repeated also in the concrete implementations. Now let's say you want to implement a bunch of different looking calculators. With this abstraction you could it.
That's all! I hope you like it!

Initial trade discussions began on 4/13, but real discussions actually happened on 5/14, when ShishioMakoto and I agreed to a trade in which he would transfer $335 in eStarland (https://www.estarland.com/) credit to my account for $210 paypal gifted, if I was able to send that day. While I was skeptical if the transfer of credit could even be done, I was assured "All I have to do is go in and have them put it on your account. They're location is local for me. Just register an account there and I can have my credit transferred over." Also, given that this was shaping up to one of those too good to be true offers, he again assured me "I have to have them transfer so it will be in the same time frame, but I plan on going there tomorrow. We are both multi gold stars of course. I can guarantee you will have it within 24 hours. I really need to cash so my hope is my rep speaks for itself as we're both long time users." This lead to an offer being sent and accepted on 5/14/17, and within 5 minutes of the trade pending, I had already sent the agreed upon payment of $210 via paypal. I provided my email and eStarland user name, and ShishioMakoto marked the trade as received within 20 minutes.
The following day 5/15 he told me he was not able to make it to the store in order for them to transfer the credit, and that he would "make it happen tomorrow for sure".
The following day 5/16 I followed up but heard nothing.
The following day 5/17 I heard back, telling me that there were new reps and he was having trouble with his credit, and said that if things couldn't get cleared up quickly he would send my money back and then some. "If they do not let me transfer or get this sorted out in the next day I will send your money back with a little extra for the trouble. "
The following day 5/18 I follow up asking for updates, and heard nothing.
5/20 is the next update with simply "Will update you today, sorry for the wait." No additional update came that day.
I followed up on 5/21 and 5/23 with no response.
ShishioMakoto responded next on 5/24 "Sorry for the lack of communication. Was trying to get this taken care of with credit but having issues. I will have something to you shortly."
On 5/26 I propose the idea that I can just give him a list of games for him to buy and ship to me with no response.
I follow up on 5/27 after seeing that he has gotten hit with a BTR (maybe 2, for separate trades made in the same window that ours was), asking for some kind of response in the next 24 hours, and receive nothing.
5/31 he respond to the BTRs saying " you are the one here whom actually I wouldn't be bothered by a BTR. I'm going to get you back tomorrow or Friday when I get paid with some extra as I stated."
I follow up on 6/3 (the Saturday after the promised Friday), and finally get a response on 6/4. He tells me that he finally got his paycheck, but now his PayPal account is "all jacked up from another issue." He again promises to get me my money back with "something tacked on" and asks for another few days, says he will keep in touch, and states that "it wont run another week."
on 6/6 I re-suggest giving him a list of games to purchase, and he says he can accommodate, but that it would take 4 days or so to ship them out. I take a day to think about it, he follows up on 6/8 asking what I want to do, and says that the drop dead date for me to get my money back is next Thursday if that is the route I want to go. On 6/16 he follows up saying that he got his check the previous day, and that his account is screwed up and that he will need to have someone else send, saying that he would let me know the email and amount once he gets it settled. In all fairness, I will say admit that I was not able to respond in a reasonable time frame here, as I was traveling for work, and was giving up hope on this ever going through.
On 6/16 I respond that I was traveling for work and visiting family, and I say that just getting the money back to me is best.
6/19 ShishioMakoto responds with "Understood. I am working out having someone else send this for me. will let you know when we are good"
No word or communication for another 10 days. On 6/29 I follow up and point out that it has been 6 weeks since the trade was initiated after he guaranteed that it would be taken care of in 24 hours. I propose two games for him to purchase and ship directly to me (and even provide him a coupon to offset some of the overages to the original agreed upon amount). I also state that the other way to make good on this is to paypal me back $260.
I do not get a response, but do see that he has logged into the site on 7/1 after my last message, so I am now submitting the BTR.
This trade has gone on way too long, and I would like to either a) get my estarland credit or b) get my money back with the aforementioned additional funds. Once we can figure that out, I will remove the BTR. The sporadic communication, the suspect "jacked up" paypal account, and the ongoing "I'll pay you once I get my paycheck" excuses have just gone on for too long at this point.
One year later, and I still have not seen any reciprocation. In fact, he has gone completely radio silent (even after, again, promising to make things right), and has not even signed into the site in over two months.
Since the 1 year mark (5/2018), I have heard from this user three separate times via trade message, each reassuring me that some kind of payment was on the way, yet nothing has actually been sent through. I continue to wait, and reach out, but have not heard anything since mid-October.
The truth is crazy isn't it. So when you finally get paid from an account that isn't mine, youll understand. Sorry for the delay, not my intention and you're not the only one in line. You'll get paid just like I stated.
Update- I fudgeed up and I am terrible. My man will get his money soon.

The findings show that the UDC has made modest inroads in providing users with access to information, comparative advantages and bridging the digital divide. However, it is yet to have significant impacts on broader development goals through improvement of livelihood. The study has explored roles of stakeholders to current progress and found an imbalance in their contributions in terms of overdependence on government’s supports. Inadequate engagement of entrepreneurs is linked to weak involvement of other stakeholders.
One of the key objectives of the study was to assess the issues of sustainability. It has identified the strengths and opportunities emanating from the partnership ecosystem to predict sustainability. It finds that both financial and social outcomes of the project are dependent on partnership components such as infrastructure and service inputs from government and entrepreneur’s investment. In the light of this, the study recommends more effective engagement of relevant stakeholders with an increase of these factors.
Although the overall record of the UDC is not impressive, as a new initiative it holds a promise to redefine the nature of service delivery and broaden people’s access in the future. One of the contributions of the present study is that it has considered the UDC as an innovation showing how the attributes of innovation can help it for wider diffusion. Given the lack of previous studies, this work has developed a model of contribution from each stakeholder in a telecentre project of a developing country, where the private sector is weak. The models for financial and social sustainability demonstrate pathways with collaborative involvement of all stakeholders.

"Generalized paired-agent kinetic model for in vivo quantification of c" by N Sadeghipour, Scott Davis et al.
New precision medicine drugs oftentimes act through binding to specific cellsurface cancer receptors, and thus their efficacy is highly dependent on the availability of those receptors and the receptor concentration per cell. Pairedagent molecular imaging can provide quantitative information on receptor status in vivo, especially in tumor tissue; however, to date, published approaches to paired-agent quantitative imaging require that only ‘trace’ levels of imaging agent exist compared to receptor concentration. This strict requirement may limit applicability, particularly in drug binding studies, which seek to report on a biological effect in response to saturating receptors with a drug moiety. To extend the regime over which paired-agent imaging may be used, this work presents a generalized simplified reference tissue model (GSRTM) for pairedagent imaging developed to approximate receptor concentration in both nonreceptor-saturated and receptor-saturated conditions. Extensive simulation studies show that tumor receptor concentration estimates recovered using the GSRTM are more accurate in receptor-saturation conditions than the standard simple reference tissue model (SRTM) (% error (mean ± sd): GSRTM 0 ± 1 and SRTM 50 ± 1) and match the SRTM accuracy in non-saturated conditions (% error (mean ± sd): GSRTM 5 ± 5 and SRTM 0 ± 5). To further test the approach, GSRTM-estimated receptor concentration was compared to SRTMestimated values extracted from tumor xenograft in vivo mouse model data. The GSRTM estimates were observed to deviate from the SRTM in tumors with low receptor saturation (which are likely in a saturated regime). Finally, a general ‘rule-of-thumb’ algorithm is presented to estimate the expected level of receptor saturation that would be achieved in a given tissue provided dose N Sadeghipour et al Printed in the UK 394 PHMBA7 © 2016 Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine 62 Phys.

These studies suggest that the GSRTM is necessary when receptor saturation exceeds 20% and highlight the potential for GSRTM to accurately measure receptor concentrations under saturation conditions, such as might be required during high dose drug studies, or for imaging applications where high concentrations of imaging agent are required to optimize signal-to-noise conditions. This model can also be applied to PET and SPECT imaging studies that tend to suffer from noisier data, but require one less parameter to fit if images are converted to imaging agent concentration (quantitative PET/SPECT).

text: Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Amy Chua and Jed Rubenfeld, Professors at the Yale Law School, for a discussion of their new book, "The Triple Package." Chua and Rubenfeld explain the rise and fall of certain cultural groups, primarily, 2nd generation recent immigrants to the U.S. These groups which demonstrate high success rates manifest 3 characteristics -- a superiority complex (rooted in theology, history, or imported social hierarchies), a sense of insecurity (driven by scorn, fear and family) and impulse control(resulting in a drive to work harder). Chua and Rubenfeld analyze the interface of these characteristics with American institutions and incentives to create high rates of success as measured by material goals, academic achievement, and prestige. They also offer a critique of recent US cultural trends that contribute to American relative decline.

Tillerson’s pick made clear that Trump is determined to end the succession of secretaries of state who were determined to advance democracy and human rights around the world and to destabilize or topple outright recalcitrant regimes as their primary mission, like Madeleine Albright and Hillary Clinton.
The results of such policies under the last three US presidents have certainly been dire.
Trump has also made manifest his contempt for the current traditional culture of the State Department.
Since the collapse of communism and under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama in particular, the State Department internal culture has degenerated into a passion for nation building and judging the world according to American-only standards of human rights and behavior.
In this climate, the State Department and its diplomats have abandoned their traditional focus on bilateral relations with a focus on the promotion of US national security and economic interests that were the traditional concerns of American diplomacy.
Therefore in choosing Tillerson, Trump also deliberately reached out to pick a “vicar” or chief coordinator and guide, to US foreign policy who was not from within the State Department’s own internal culture, which has become increasingly dominated by neoconservative ideology in recent decades.
Indeed, it appears likely that Trump will want Tillerson to go far beyond restoring the basic protocols of amity and politeness between the U.S. and Russia –the world’s dominant thermonuclear superpowers– and seek to expand their cooperation across a wide spectrum of economic and national security interests.
Trump’s selection of Tillerson makes clear he is determined to restore the State Department to its traditional function as the champion of US national interests, economic, diplomatic and for national security – around the world.
This is a far cry, however, from the past 25 years when State’s priorities were on advancing global ideological agendas to extend democracy and women’s rights – at least in theory. However, this never translated into serious support for the war on so-called “white slavery” – the transnational trade in young women and girls enslaved into prostitution.
Under Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, State’s officials obsessed on advancing global agendas on combatting climate change, saving the environment and toppling governments that would not go along with Washington’s ideological and free trade agendas.
Trump and Tillerson can therefore expect generations of resistance, sabotage and plain hatred focused on subverting their old-fashioned patriotic America First agenda.
