The computer glitch could jeopardize thousands of holiday flights.
Are you traveling this holiday season? If you're taking an American Airlines flight on or around Christmas, you might not be—even despite your best efforts. A glitch in the airline's computer system mistakenly allowed all its pilots to take time off during the high season around Christmas, and thousands of flights could be disrupted as a result.
As ABC's Sam Sweeny reports, American Airlines is attempting to rectify the situation by offering time and a half for pilots who agree to fly.
BREAKING: American Airlines says computer glitch allowed all pilots to take vacation over Christmas week. Now union says thousands of flights are in jeopardy of cancellation. Americans says they’re offering 1.5x pay for pilots to fill in and expect to resolve the issue.
Potential flightpocalypse isn't the only potential wide-ranging disruption looming over the coming holiday season. UPS aircraft mechanics, who help ferry the bulk of the holiday Amazon deluge, are threatening a strike due to reductions in healthcare benefits.
It's not too late to just cancel Christmas this year. We'll probably all be better off without the travel and Amazon packages anyway.
A Better American Airlines Through Bankruptcy?

Rogue chemists have been accused of acting like ‘small-time drug-pushers’ after they were discovered selling anti-depressants, sleeping pills and Viagra on the black market.
Undercover reporters were able to buy potentially lethal substances such as Valium and temazepam from pharmacies over the counter without a prescription.
The BBC Inside Out investigation last night revealed a dangerous trade where chemists are risking lives by selling patients prescription drugs before they have seen a doctor.
The potentially lethal sleeping tablet temazepam was bought without advice on the correct dosage, while the anti-anxiety drug benzodiazepine – which doctors say can cause death if patients stop using it suddenly – and drugs that can be highly addictive, including Valium, were sold over the counter for as little as 85.
A bottle of the powerful painkiller morphine was bought for 200, with the chemist allegedly telling the reporter posing as a patient to drink as much as he wanted.
It is illegal for pharmacists to sell such drugs without a prescription unless it is a medical emergency.
The maximum sentence for those convicted is two years in prison.
But the health regulator has taken only one pharmacy in England to a hearing for selling drugs without a prescription this year.
Undercover BBC reporters visited the pharmacies and for some drugs paid more than 20 times the price it would have cost them using an NHS prescription, which costs 7.65 in England but is free in the rest of the UK.
Nine chemists in west London sold the reporters 288 Valium tablets, 21 temazepam tablets, 294 antibiotic tablets, 24 Viagra tablets and a bottle of Oramorph painkiller.
Chemists are allowed to sell Viagra over the counter – but only if the patient passes a series of health tests and fills out a questionnaire.
Temazepam, which is popular with heroin users wanting to wean themselves off the drug, must be kept locked away due to its potential for abuse.
Last year, 293 people died from misuse of anti-anxiety drugs – more than double the total killed by cocaine and ecstasy.
Labour health spokesman Andy Burnham said after watching last night’s programme: 'People will be shocked to see pharmacists acting like small-time drug-pushers.
Pharmacies are regulated by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
All nine chemists refused to comment when shown the undercover footage.

American rhetoric on North Korea is not getting any softer.
US Vice President Mike Pence is in South Korea where he has repeated the same bellicose rhetoric of National Security Adviser General H.R. McMaster, saying that ‘all options are on the table’ in respect of military action against North Korea.
“President Trump has made it clear that the patience of the United States and our allies in this region has run out and we want to see change.
We want to see North Korea abandon its reckless path of the development of nuclear weapons, and also its continual use and testing of ballistic missiles is unacceptable”.
“All options are on the table to achieve the objectives and ensure the stability of the people of this country”.
This combined with Donald Trump’s tweet that military expansionism is necessary, does not bode well for the deescalation in the Korean peninsula that China has advocated for.

3 reasons why clients choose Second Company.
As a client you don’t call because you necessarily want to speak to an account manager. You call because you want to talk with an expert who will solve your problem. This is why we also train our software developers as business analyst, account manager and project leader.
The priority for our developers is that they understand and master each aspect of the business process, so they can directly work with the client to find solutions. Our developers and clients also stay in contact through chat groups so they can make decisions together as quickly as possible.
As developer at Second Company you truly do everything. Of course with the assurance that there are more experienced business analysts and developers to support you. This is why working at Second Company is really challenging and this is also why we manage to maintain our international top talent.
This method is perfect for our clients. They are often amazed with our work. An example of what I mean: after one of our developers sent a motivational email to the project team of the client, this was the reaction of the CEO.
Clients choose increasingly often for international teams because they have been proven to deliver better work. Google and Amazon have already been recruiting highly skilled migrants for many years. Software development has become a global profession with lots of top talent outside of the Netherlands.
For the past two years we have also been doing this and our clients are benefiting from it. By bringing together international developers and refreshing perspectives we can deliver the quality that clients are looking for. Before we started bringing highly skilled migrants to the Netherlands we of course already delivered great quality work. But the international mix right here in our office is just creating amazing results.
In 2017 we again hired many great developers, after which we have focused on their development, the company culture and effective collaboration. This ensured that now in 2018 we have strong structures that guarantee the quality of our work, which has led to satisfied clients.
It’s not just more pleasant and fast to work directly with skilled employees, but it also means less money is spent on expensive managers. Furthermore, it also reduces the chance of miscommunication. If wishes and possibilities are not (yet) aligned with each other, this can cause an extra layer of communication difficulties or frustrations. I am so happy that we don’t have this problem.
As far as I know our approach is unique in the Netherlands. But even more important, it is successful. Our clients are all satisfied with the results and with the way we work.
The quote above from one of our clients demonstrates it: our philosophy of broadly trained, independent, business-minded developers is the future!
IT is a force for good, but that’s only possible if IT employees understand better what organizations need and are prepared to think and act while putting business first. With broadly developed, international top talents such as Amir Nogayev (read the blog How the Chinese secret service influenced my IT company in Haarlem) as our employees we turn this principle into reality on a daily basis.
Do you want to know more about how our international team of business-minded developers can make the difference for your company? Read our blog about digital transformation or call me directly. I look forward to hearing what your ambitions are!

How Big of a Risk Is Share-Based Compensation at Workday?
With a large portion of its compensation tied to equity awards, will Workday follow in the footsteps of LinkedIn?
Along with reporting GAAP profits, companies frequently report adjusted EBITDA or non-GAAP profits which adjust for share-based compensation. The difference between the two numbers can be extensive. For example, below is a look at GAAP and non-GAAP net income reported by some popular tech names in their most recent quarters.
If options aren't a form of compensation, what are they? If compensation isn't an expense, what is it? And, if expenses shouldn't go into the calculation of earnings, where in the world should they go?
Not only is share-based compensation often misrepresented by managers, it also triggers a risk that is overlooked by investors. If the price of the stock goes down, whether it is related to the company itself or the overall market, there is a higher chance of decreasing morale and higher attrition. Although any company with a large portion of its compensation tied to equity is susceptible to this risk, one that sticks out to me is Workday.
In its most recent fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2016, Workday's share-based compensation of nearly $250 million accounted for 22% of total revenue. To put that into perspective, share-based compensation at Salesforce and Oracle are 9% and 3%, respectively. Now, imagine how much of the workforce is not going to be happy if the stock price is cut in half.
In case the motivational speech wasn't enough, Weiner forfeited his $14 million annual bonus and gave it as a bonus to employees.
The importance of keeping employees happy is important at Workday and LinkedIn. Both companies stress the role of culture to the success of their respective businesses. In its 10-K, LinkedIn singles out its values and unique company culture as the foundation of its success. In Workday's annual report, the company mentions the failure of maintaining its company culture as a risk to its business.
Regardless of recent negativity surrounding LinkedIn and Workday, both companies still score well on Glassdoor. Of the LinkedIn employees who rated it on Glassdoor, 89% would recommend it to a friend and 98% rank its CEO favorably. In fact, Weiner was the 5th highest rated CEO of 2016. For Workday, 73% of employees would recommend the company to a friend while 94% approve of Bhusri.
What happens if the price drops?
Although it is pure speculation on my part, I believe one of the reasons LinkedIn sold itself to Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) was because it was in danger of losing its highly valued employees. A price drop over 40% likely left many employee options worthless, especially the newer ones.
The company granted over 280,000 stock options during fiscal year 2015. The average price of those options was $259 per share. According to company filings, LinkedIn had 683,788 or 47% of all options outstanding that had a weighted exercise price over $170 per share. On the day of the announcement of the sale, LinkedIn shares popped 47% from $131 per share to over $192, bringing many of those options in the money.
Over the last 4 years, the amount of share-based compensation as a percentage of revenue at LinkedIn climbed from 9% to 17%. Workday is seeing a similar trajectory.
According to its most recent annual filing, the company did not grant any new stock options in its latest fiscal year. However, it did grant over 5 million restricted stock units which are priced at over $85 per share, which is near where it trades today. A 40% haircut in its share price may not necessarily mean Workday will need to find a buyer, but it will put a dent in the pocketbooks of its employees.
It's common practice in the Silicon Valley for tech companies to compensate employees with a combination of stock and stock options. While the practice often dilutes the equity ownership of the company, it also aligns the interests of employees and management with shareholders'. Additionally, cash is often needed to help grow the company. Profits are not expected over the short term so compensation in equity is a good way for these companies to recruit talent without paying high salaries. While not all shareholders are fans of share-based compensation, it is commonplace in many young companies and it does serve a purpose.
However, investors should not only keep a close eye on management's accounting treatment of options, but they should also be keen to how a drop in stock price can affect employee morale and turnover.

A local newspaper in the Dominican Republic published ” fake news ” as Donald Trump calls them, but this time for real. The paper accidently run a picture actor Alec Baldwin as he imitate The Donald instead of a picture of the real Donald Trump. This is right in the middle of a huge ” fight ” between the president and the media where he claims the media usually publishes false news stories about him and his government. Obviously the Dominican paper had to publish an apology after they realised their unfortunate mistake.
The paper ran what is known as a retraction or correction, they explained the error by saying they pulled the photo from the Associated Press wire service and it went unnoticed by the entire staff.
Make sense right? We all made mistakes, life goes on, and in our world where parody and reality TV stars suddenly becoming presidents, it’s easy to confuse SNL characters with their real life intention.
What now? Well the picture quickly became viral on social media and many people had started wondering if now Trump will add the Dominican Republic to it’s banned countries from entering the USA as he did with seven Muslim countries. You can never know for sure.
Now here at The Awesome Daily we don’t want to be included in the fake news category Trump has on his sight, so we suggest to all other newspapers when running a story about the President, make sure you use a real photo like the one you see below. Just to be sure you know.

Roving Bandit: Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
Matt has a post up on the clear highlight of the first day of Young Lives 2013 - the final plenary by Lant "Dude is so famous he doesn’t even bother wearing a name tag" Pritchett.
Pritchett’s point was fairly simple: in many settings school can be a pretty awful place to be, especially if the curriculum is moving faster than you can keep up with it. Eventually, all but a select few are left behind, leading to a “flattening out” of the learning curve. At this point, you can’t really learn anything when you are this far behind, so why stick around? At one point – and without warning – Pritchett presented an entire slide in Spanish, to give the audience a sense of how this must feel.
The bottom line is really quite depressing - there are thousands and thousands of kids out there sitting in classrooms learning absolutely nothing.
The other highlight for me was Karthik Muralidharan's plenary - apparently one of the first papers to measure and illustrate the learning progress (or lack of) of individual children as they progress through school years - on a comparable ordinal scale. The approach is smart, borrowing from the "Item Response Theory" used in GRE tests, and allows you to estimate for example whether grade 5 students can answer grade 1 questions without having to ask them. The key policy take-away was that clearly we need more of this kind of testing being done with the same kids on an annual basis. At present, we have a few snapshot surveys of learning outcomes in random years in random countries, and almost nothing in most countries that can reliably tell you something meaningful about the progress that children are making. Part of this will hopefully be solved in a few years as countries sign up to a new post-2015 development goal on learning outcomes and then realise that they have committed to figuring out a way of actually measuring them. This stuff is important. As Karthik noted, all of the RCT randomista experimental literature looks at how much an intervention impoves treatment schools compared with control schools, but misses the larger point that nobody has a clue how much progress the control schools are making over time if any (as you might expect given general economic growth).
Naureen Karachiwalla and Abhijeet Singh both presented really interesting papers, documenting in detail the role of caste in determining learning outcomes in Pakistan, and differences between public and private schools in India, respectively (bottom line: they perform similarly, but private school teachers cost around a fifth of public school teachers so private schools are a lot cheaper to run).
The nonparametric bayesian econometrics (I think that's what it is...) was maybe a bit much for me first thing this morning, but the point to note for survey designers emphasised by Costas Meghir was that the cutting edge Heckman "latent factor" model tools for estimating human capital, cognitive and noncognitive skills, or whatever you want to call it, are data hungry. You need a few (at least 3) different measures of each concept that you are trying to proxy for.
That's all for now, time to sleep.

At the end of 2014, the average 401k balance was about $18,127. That figure, however, doesn’t begin to tell the full story.
According to the recent analysis by the Employee Benefit Research Institute of 24.9 million 401(k) plan participants, 40% of these have less than $10,000 and 20% have more than $100,000 in their balance.
The study also revealed the median account balance in various income brackets.
$20,000 to $40,000. It is difficult to save for retirement when you earn a modest salary. “Many people with small incomes think that it isn’t possible to save for retirement, but it really isn’t the case,” says Tim Baker, a certified financial planner for Script Financial in Baltimore. “When you’re young, one of the things that you have a lot of is time, which means lots of compounding periods for your money to go to work for you.” Many workers earning between $20,000 and $40,000 have managed to save something for retirement. The median 401(k) balance for people who have been on the job for five or more years ranges from $7,474 among workers in their 20s to $77,659 for people in their 50s.
$40,000 to $60,000. Employees earning between $40,000 and $60,000 are likely to have a little more room in their budget to save for retirement. The median 401(k) balance ranges from $16,502 among 20-somethings to $113,504 for workers in their 50s, according to the EBRI analysis.

As every day passes, the economic situation worsens here in the Commonwealth. Today, the Boston Globe is reporting employers cut more than 40,000 jobs in the last two months bringing the state’s unemployment rate up to 6.9%. That’s the highest it has been since 1993.
Now, more than ever, we need innovation, reform and efficiency on Beacon Hill. More importantly, the Legislature must avoid doing any additional harm. While the Majority sees raising taxes as a way to generate new revenue, we believe it will cause businesses to lay off more employees, close down shop and move out of town. All of these consequences would have a negative impact on our already struggling economy.
The legislative agenda of the GOP Caucus contains several pieces of legislation that could stimulate business here in Massachusetts during these tough economic times. In the coming days, we will be rolling out our legislative agenda and you will see tax credits and other incentives are tools we intend to use in order to create jobs and encourage entrepreneurship.

Denise Bates Group Publishing Director at Octopus Publishing Group acquired World Rights excluding Denmark directly from Meyer.
The Nordic Kitchen will be published in April 2016 at £25 and will comprise over 350 recipes. In the book, Claus Meyer will bring the ethos that built noma into the world's best restaurant into the home with easy-going, accessible dishes ideal for family life. The book will be divided into four seasonal chapters with the emphasis on getting the most from the food and flavours in season. There are also features on food from the wild, including chanterelles, dandelions and blackberries.
Claus Meyer has been a gastronomic entrepreneur for over thirty years and in addition to his numerous companies employing more than 800 staff, is an affiliated professor at Copenhagen Business School and Social Impact Fellow at University of California, Berkeley Haas School of Business. Claus Meyer co-founded the Melting Pot Foundation, with the aim of improving the quality of life and provide new opportunities to vulnerable individuals in Denmark as well as in selected projects abroad.

Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that occurs when plasma cells in the body start to overgrow in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell. Normally, as part of the immune system, plasma cells produce antibodies that help fight against disease and keep us healthy. In multiple myeloma, these plasma cells produce antibodies that are ineffective.
Multiple myeloma occurs when the overgrowth of plasma cells takes place in multiple areas of the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft spongy tissue in the middle part of the bone where blood cells are formed.
The average age of those receiving a diagnosis of multiple myeloma is 65 years. In Canada, about 2,700 people are diagnosed with multiple myeloma every year. There is a 1 in 130 lifetime chance of developing multiple myeloma.
It is not known what causes myeloma. Normally, only 5% or less of the bone marrow is made up of plasma cells. When a plasma cell becomes abnormal and begins multiplying, the cells are then called myeloma cells. Myeloma cells have special "adhesion molecules" that help them target bone marrow. In cases of myeloma, the plasma cells usually make up 10% or more of the bone marrow. Myeloma cells make a special type of protein to stimulate new blood vessels to form. These blood vessels provide oxygen and nutrients to the cancer cells.
There are other possible risk factors, such as obesity, exposure to high dose radiation and chemicals, but these have not been proven.
Overgrowth of myeloma cells disrupts the production of normal cells in the bone marrow. This causes an impaired immune system and a decrease in the number of red blood cells. Decrease in red blood cells can lead to anemia and fatigue, which is common in people with multiple myeloma. Bone fractures (broken bones) are another complication of multiple myeloma.
Diagnosis of multiple myeloma depends on a number of factors. Blood or urine test results following a routine doctor's visit may provide the first indication of multiple myeloma. The combination of these results along with other tests, as well as your symptoms, helps determine the presence or absence of the disease.
If your doctor suspects that you have myeloma, the next step is to take images of your bones. Your doctor may order an MRI, CT, PET/CT, or X-rays. Weakened areas of the bones are common with myeloma and may be visible in an X-ray.
Your doctor will also take some bone marrow tissue for microscopic examination. This test is called a bone marrow biopsy. During this procedure, the doctor inserts a needle into the bone and removes some of the marrow along with a small piece of the bone, which is then viewed under a microscope to detect the abnormal myeloma cells.
Because it is not known what causes multiple myeloma, it is not possible to prevent this disease. However, you have a number of options for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
Multiple myeloma often develops slowly and may not always have signs or symptoms. For people with multiple myeloma who are not experiencing symptoms, they may not need to start treatment right away. However, they will need regular visits to their doctor to monitor the progression of the disease.
Chemotherapy and newer therapies are common treatments for multiple myeloma. These medications directly damage and kill the abnormal myeloma cells. These medications are specifically designed to quickly attack multiplying cells, but they can also damage normal cells. To reduce the damaging effects and adverse events of these medications, your doctor will carefully determine the type and dose of the medication as well as the duration of treatment.
A person with multiple myeloma can take the medication by mouth or through intravenous injection. The medication must be taken over a period of time, often months. If the level of M proteins stabilizes, you may be able to stop chemotherapy treatment.
Stem cell transplantation involves a combination of chemotherapy to wipe out the diseased cells and the transfusion of a special type of cells called stem cells. Stem cells from you or a donor are transfused into your body to replace damaged bone marrow.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays that penetrate the body to destroy myeloma cells. The radiation targets a specific area, often where a tumour has developed. The treatment may be repeated for 4 or 5 days a week over several weeks. It may also be used to relieve bone pain.
Bisphosphonates are medications injected into the vein that reduce the likelihood of bones breaking from the myeloma. They may also lessen bone pain.
To treat the anemia that is often associated with multiple myeloma, a group of medications called erythropoietin stimulating agents may be prescribed. They cause the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells.

We try to be as transparent as possible by providing you with real guest experiences. Find out what other diners are saying about Gaucho - Sloane Square.
We all had a great night, Excellent steak (400g rib eye rare), very good service and lovely restaurant. Would recommend and will be going back again.
When we entered the restaurant we were greeted by friendly professional members of the team. I would throughly recommend you try one, great service. All the steaks were cooked to how we ordered them. Awesome !!
Good for red meatlovers. Just beef! Grill works for fish as well and mixture of smell is a bit problem if you want a fresh environment. If you like/eat fish, menu is limited. I would not anyway recommend eating fish and red meat at the same time, if you want a for a healthy digestion system. Red wines are nice. Ambience is too dark like a night club. Quite kitsch for a grill place. Attentive and quality staff.
it was my first time at Gaucho and it was worth the wait. I was part of a group of 6, but everyone LOVED their order apart from someone who went for a burger instead of a steak! I will definitely visit again! Some of the staff were not as friendly but not rude either.
Decent food, a little bit style over substance in some places (a fanfare over having my coat ready for me when I was just going to the loo, I was a bit early so instead of sending me to the lounge was asked to wait by a closed dirty bar with people hoovering. However food was good, and service to the table was good.
had a fabulous meal at Gaucho's in Sloane St. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and made sure that we had a terrific meal. Steaks were superb. Thanks for a great evening team !
The food and the service were fabulous. It’s unfortunate that my seat was so uncomfortable for the duration of the meal. My guests for the evening were extremely impressed. Thank you to all the staff.

CHICAGO, March 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A Northwestern Memorial Hospital cardiac surgeon helped pioneer the use of an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved aortic valve ring as part of a triple valve repair, the first of its kind in the United States.
S. Chris Malaisrie, MD, has performed two successful surgeries using the new ring, a device that potentially avails aortic valve repair options to a wider group of patients.
"Repairing a valve is always better than replacing a valve, and until now we have never had an aortic annuloplasty device for repair," said Dr. Malaisrie, who is also an associate professor of surgery – cardiac surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. "There's a bright future for aortic valve repair, and this device provides another opportunity for us to do so with better and longer-lasting repairs."
The HAART 300 is the first aortic annuloplasty device to receive approval from the FDA. Annuloplasty is a procedure to rebuild the frame of a heart valve, called an annulus. Designed to treat aortic regurgitation, the new valve stabilizes while reshaping the aortic annulus, allowing the valve leaflets to properly close, stopping the regurgitation.
The device is easily sized and implanted, making valve repair instead of replacement an option for a broader group of patients.
"At Northwestern Medicine Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, our priority is the safest, most effective and most advanced treatments for heart disease," said Patrick McCarthy, MD, chief of cardiac surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and executive director of the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute. "We are pleased to offer this option and look forward to continuing to being a leader in treating valvular heart disease."
The Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is part of the Northwestern Medicine health system, with multiple sites of care in Chicago and the region. Northwestern Memorial Hospital currently is ranked first in the United States for heart failure survival. Northwestern Memorial Hospital's heart and heart surgery program is ranked seventh nationally and first in Chicago, Illinois and the surrounding states by U.S. News & World Report.
For more information, or to make an appointment with a cardiovascular specialist, call (312) NM-HEART or visit heart.nm.org.

Shares of RetailMeNot (NASDAQ:SALE) were up 49% as of 11:00 a.m. EDT Tuesday after the coupon specialist agreed to be acquired.
More specifically, RetailMeNot will be acquired by privately held payment solutions and marketing services company Harland Clark Holdings for $11.60 per share in cash -- a roughly 50% premium over RetailMeNot's closing price on Friday and a 36% premium to its average closing price in the 60 days ended on Friday. The deal assigns an equity value to RetailMeNot of roughly $630 million.
According to RetailMeNot's press release, the combination "will create an omni-channel media network with tens of thousands of advertisers reaching hundreds of millions of consumers around the world."
"Not only are we delivering an immediate and significant cash premium to our stockholders," said RetailMeNot founder and CEO Cotter Cunningham, "but we are also meaningfully advancing our goal of becoming a leading savings destination for consumers."
The deal has also been approved by both companies' boards of directors, but is still subject to regulatory approval and Harland Clark's receipt of a majority of RetailMeNot's issued and outstanding shares of Series 1 common stock via a tender offer. As it stands, RetailMeNot expects the transaction to close before the end of this quarter, at which time it will become a privately held company. So with shares currently trading within pennies of the agreed acquisition price -- and unless waiting a little longer to sell will result in more favorable long-term capital gains tax treatment -- I think RetailMeNot investors would be wise to put their money to work elsewhere.

thank you so much for this ..
for example, I have to hover within an area of the icon that have "pixels" on.
when I hover on the "transparent" area... the "MouseOverAction" won't work.
so, this is from the left side icons. I am able to hover on the transparent area of the "image"/icon without it trying to go back to the "tray"
Yep, this is a known behavior (I don't name it issue) of all kind of meters: the meters don't react if you're hovering the mouse over their transparent area.
The simplest solution is to add a SolidColor=0,0,0,1 option to the incriminated meter. This way, although it's not visible, nor is transparent and reacts to mouse hovering.
Glad to help (if I did).

Many moons ago I spent a blissful year reading, thinking, and writing about David Malouf's work. In particular, his treatment of the margin and edge in An Imaginary Life and Remembering Babylon. It was way back in 1998, also the year Malouf delivered the Boyer Lectures, A Spirit of Play, where he examined the making of Australian consciousness. Well worth a listen for his deft examination of ideas of nation-making, identity, landscape and a sense of place.
Back then I was on my own mini ledge. I'd taken a year off law to do a thesis on Malouf in my arts degree, a decision the then law dean sternly advised me to reconsider. Instead, I needed to "decide if I was a law or arts student, only one of which would ever get me a job." Wow. I filed my thesis papers and spent the next year reading, writing, and thinking about margins and edges. In Malouf's work, in society, in ourselves.
I've kept thinking about those things in the years since. The increasingly nasty treatment of asylum seekers and refugees, of those struggling at the margins of society, of our former female Prime Minister. Nasty language by Sydney radio personalities, by our pollies, in social media forums. Have we lost our empathy?* Stopped imagining what it might feel like to be at the margin of things? Either as someone fleeing persecution, seeking better lives for their kids, struggling to make ends meet, or forging a path as Australia's first female Prime Minister.
Some of Malouf's work imagines the edge and margin as a transformative space, a place where re-imagining is possible. One of my favourite poems of his, Sheer Edge, touches upon this beautifully.
For Malouf, it is in this moment of creative endeavor - the poem - where a re-imagining of possibilities, and a connection, can occur.
Everyone either experiences their own edge in some way, or witnesses others struggle at the margins. The knife-edge grief of losing a loved one, poverty, violence, the death of a child, mental illness, job loss, relationship breakdowns. The list goes on, the places and times where the edge looms large. It's within us all.
So it turns out the edge is actually central to all of us. Losing the ability to empathise (in public and private lives) is as much about losing perspective and connection to ourselves, as it is about losing connection with each other.
Well, that got deep for a Friday afternoon. Still with me after that ramble?
If you are, the point was to say that sixteen years after stepping off the supposedly sensible-degree-to-get-a-job ledge, I'm excited about finally hearing David Malouf discuss his latest collection of personal essays, at the Sydney Writers' Festival. The man's a master of his craft. I'll let you know how it goes.
*For a cracking TED Talk by Roman Krznaric on empathy, have a listen to this.
I know, his writing is beautiful. Glad you're a fan too! I'm really looking forward to listening to him speak at SWF. I'll post here afterwards about how it goes.
Hi Pia, I've arrived here from BWP land. I'm trying to make my way around everyone's blog and leave a comment. Comments are a good way of encouraging fellow bloggers don't you think? While I'm not a big reader, I do appreciate a reader's passion for the written word. I'm more a visual person so I really enjoyed the link you shared to Roman Krznaric's TED Talk. I'm a big TED Talk fan.
Glad you enjoyed the TED talk it's one of my favorites lately!
Beautifully written Pia! I have to agree - so much of what you see in the media today lends itself to a lack of empathy, much less sympathy. It's heartbreaking to see that there are people in pain and many who cannot see it or understand it.
Hi Catherine, thank you, Great to see you here!

… a table set to provide those who have been excluded a voice, a seat and an opportunity to pursue their dreams. A table set to include all of the voices that have been silenced for too long. A table set to allow a safe place for a full and dynamic conversation that encourages the richness of diversity, creativity, respect and justice for everyone. A table of profound and deep love celebrating all that we have together when we allow for equal participation.
This season, we at Ganesh Himal Trading, invite you to bring people together over food and beautiful artwork created by hands that strive to build a system of economic justice. There will be frustrating conversations but enjoy these moments when we have the opportunity to educate people about the work that we do, about how a well thought out purchase can help improve lives and strengthen communities. Together, as a Fair Trade community, we can set our tables in the variety of beautiful colors that we are, celebrate the beauty of us all, and put people before profit while engaging in the richness of life.
By opening up your fair trade stores to others you provide them the door to step through to find their own place at the table. You help others see how they can support and nurture and hold out the chair for others. You help the table become more robust and dynamic. You help us all to see how we can participate in creating a just economy and envision the path ahead toward setting a bountiful table for all.
May your table be full this season and thank you for all that you do to support our work in Nepal.
PS: Don’t forget to vote and please encourage others to vote. Justice, economic opportunity and a large robust table of democracy depends on it. Those who have come before us to fight for this right, those who will come after and our beautiful planet will thank you for your participation.

The Federal Reserve is expected to spike interest rate today by about 0.25 percentage points to 1.75%. While this is good news for people who have invested heavily in savings accounts (largely, baby boomers), for an average borrower it means more work hours per week. Borrowing expenses, be it for a loan or a mortgage, will rise following this move — as will credit card debts.
Debts on credit cards are calculated via variable interest rate, meaning they increase or decrease based on Fed actions.
In simpler terms, once the rate is increased, banks will have to pay more to borrow from the Fed, and they just transfer that financial burden to their customers. But yeah, that’s how banks work!
Since December 2015, the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates five times to 1.5%. This has, in turn, cost credit card customers an extra $6.8 billion in interest, according to data from WalletHub.
The Federal Reserve has now hinted at three rate hikes this year, means borrowing is going to be a lot tougher. The average credit card charge, which currently stands at around 16.4%, could increase one percentage point by next year.
The Fed hikes are inevitable, given President Donald Trump recent policies to lift economic growth. The tax cuts and jobs act, as well as the proposed import tariffs on Chinese goods, have forced the Fed to increase interest rates faster.
Since experts believe credit card interest rates will increase within a couple of billing cycles since the Fed announcement.
The effect of the anticipated Fed move is expected to have varying impact in different cities. The most vulnerable cities include Beverly Hills, where over 61% of the residents have credit cards; and Miami Beach, where the credit card population is over 55%. Darlington and Detroit are among the least vulnerable cities with credit card population of 18.4% and 25% respectively.
Since experts believe credit card interest rates will increase within a couple of billing cycles since the Fed announcement, there are two things you could do to reduce your debt burden. One would be to pay off the entire credit card balance every month, or at least minimum payment due. You could also consider shifting to a card that offers a lower rate.

She played a large role in coaching the team that Won the World School Tennis Championships in 2014 and the 7 season Tildesley shield winning streak.

Triptych Journey’s mission is to tell compelling world stories that speak to all of us. Using multimedia arts and expression, Triptych Journey connects audiences to vulnerable people, cultures and ecology, instilling values of conservation and preservation in a rapidly changing world.
The first project of Triptych Journey explores the fantastical, profound, and continuously unfolding story of Guru Rinpoche: Padmasambhava.
Padmasambhava brought Buddhism to Tibet in the 9th Century, taming the malevolent local spirits and introducing the Dharma to a reluctant, aggressive populace. Although it’s been more than 1100 years since his original visit, Padmasambhava continues to have a primordial hold on Tibetan religious and cultural expressions.
In the fall of 2013, Triptych Journey artists traveled through the Himalayan Region following the story of the Guru. The artists, including a photographer, choreographer, writer, and filmmaker, documented their journey across Mongolia, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and India. Their creative expressions will be woven together through film, performance, and multimedia installations.
Triptych Journey’s Padmasambhava Project seeks to illuminate the fundamental importance and relevance of the Tibetan tradition. The goal is to instill similar empathy within the audience and build commitment to the conservation of the Tibetan culture.
For more information about Triptych Journey, contact Director Marc Wennberg- marc@triptychjourney.org.

The conversation between adult children and their aging parents about the possibility of moving into an assisted-living facility or nursing home can be tough and change family dynamics, but it needs to be happen.
The earlier you can react to warnings signs the easier the transition can be on parents, so it’s important to know what signs to look out for and address.
According to health experts, signs include forgetfulness when it comes to basic daily events like leaving the stove on, a lack of appetite or ability to eat, inability to food shop and constantly forgetting to take medication.
If warning signs are present, the next step is to figure the level of care options and approach your parents and family members about moving into a facility. According to Rosen, you’ll have to determine if it’s better to move the parent to a place or have a live-in nurse provide care in the current residence.
When it comes to starting the conversation with parents, Flynn advises being as direct as possible. The main reason people resist the idea of a nursing home or assisted living is over fear of losing their independence. Some parents are also in denial about needing care and help, which can also make the conversation tough. Flynn says when talking about care options, you should provide parents evidence of why they need help: Point out aimless wondering, forgetting to turn off the stove and the dangers that came with these actions.
It’s also important to make it clear to parents they are not a burden and that you are not trying pass off their care and simply want them to have the best options and lifestyle. Children should put forth a well-discussed and thorough plan to their parents that covers financials.
If possible, Rosen suggests asking parents what they want from a facility, including location and amenities, to get them involved in the decision. Same goes with at-home care. If they can, have them discuss who they would want to be the caregiver whether it’s a relative, friend or professional.
If possible, Flynn says it’s a good idea to take the parent to visit possible places to talk to the staff and residents.

The Principal Coordinator of Modella Afrik, Raymond Iroham, has urged Nigerian youths to be at the vanguard of promoting the virtues of peace, orderliness and moral rectitude, which are tools for national transformation.
He spoke at the launch of Modella Afrik at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG), Milk and Honey Chapel, Mende, Maryland, Lagos.
Iroham said young people are the leaders of tomorrow and they must exhibit good leadership qualities that will facilitate growth and development.
He said governments across the world are grappling with wars, inhuman treatments and terrorism, which are mostly orchestrated by immoral and ungodly youths who would have sought redress when aggrieved through peaceful mechanism.
He noted that God is in dire need of youths who will surrender themselves to Him and help in the campaign for a safe and better world fit for all to live in.

David Attenborough looks at how mammals dominate the planet through having warm blood and caring for their young, including Weddell seals, caribou and humpback whales.
Mammals dominate the planet. They do it through having warm blood and by the care they lavish on their young. Weeks of filming in the bitter Antarctic winter reveal how a mother Weddell seal wears her teeth down keeping open a hole in the ice so she can catch fish for her pup.
A powered hot air balloon produces stunning images of millions of migrating bats as they converge on fruiting trees in Zambia, and slow-motion cameras reveal how a mother rufous sengi exhausts a chasing lizard. A gyroscopically stabilised camera moves alongside migrating caribou, and a diving team swim among the planet's biggest fight as male humpback whales battle for a female.
The Weddell seal must teach its newborn to live in the Antarctic. Also, the sengi creates pathways to help catch and escape prey and the aye-aye can only use its hearing when hunting in the dark.
Barren land forces eight million reindeer to move north, finding food as they travel. The fruit bats, however, take to the sky, where they can fly up to a 1000km in a few nights.
A wounded hyena calls to her clan to help her challenge a pride of lions, and families of polar bears fight each other for food.
There's some sibling rivalry when the coatis go hunting for the first time, whilst the meerkats are more organised and disciplined.
An inexperienced elephant mother must learn quickly so she can protect her young and the female humpback whale makes her presence known when looking for a mate.
The team attempt to film the humpback whale's mating contest; this requires local knowledge, hours on the water and a big slice of luck.
