In honor of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees' 40th birthday here are 40 quotes about Brees from those closest to him.
"It was a magical season and Drew was kind of the glue that kept everything together for us. He was a quarterback, he was our leader, he was tremendous and as we've come to find out he was a little underrated. And he has used that throughout the consistency of his life to just prove the doubters wrong and he continues to do that to this day."
“Drew is the most competitive person you've ever met. And for somebody to tell him he couldn't do something and challenge him, that's about the worst thing you can do, is challenge Drew Brees because he will step up to the challenge and nine times out of 10, if not 10 times out of 10, he'll meet it."
“So the intensity that everybody sees from Drew all the time is constant. OK. He's very intense at everything that he does. OK. And by intense I mean very competitive."
“I just knew that was it, we were gone. And you know you just, he walked off the field with his arm just locked up, and it was the strangest position you know of anyone that I've ever seen with an arm like that. And at that point you know I just prayed. I prayed and I just knew that we were gone, in San Diego. And I just didn't know if he would ever play again. But I was just, it broke my heart for him because he's the most amazing man. And he worked so hard to get there. And if that was our time then it was up then that was OK. But it just broke my heart for him. You know he didn't deserve that."
“Well, I can remember specifically the injury happened and you know as a coach you're always kind of, 'I wonder how bad is it,' and I can remember being up in the press box and as he came off the sideline onto the sidelines, I can remember Cam Cameron saying through the headsets, 'Oh it's not good.' And you know the type of makeup, the character of Drew Brees, you thought if there was going to be a guy that was going to have some adversity in his life and would be able to overcome it, you knew it would be him."
“Every time we gave him a certain timetable, he said good, I want to know what it is and I'm going to beat it. And of course he did. And we had to almost put a rein, a check rein on him to try to keep him from going so fast and running out of things to do, but he wanted to know the timetable so he could challenge the timetables and get well quicker than what we anticipated."
“It's always there. It's just that his faith is who he is and it defines him in terms of the actions that he makes and what he does. That is what is his faith is. That's why I'm so proud of him. You know I tell him that I'm really proud of him not because of his accolades on the field. It's great. I mean but you know if Drew were not playing football he'd be doing something else. And I'm confident he's going to be just fine after he plays football because of the faith and because of keeping that at the the center of everything that he does."
“Not only was he gifted and talented to be one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game but he's one of the most positive influences on the city of New Orleans post Katrina, on the communities that he's been in and on so many lives. I can't even begin on a personal level. The times that I've seen him go out of his way to change somebody’s world, sick kids and just across the board. That's the legacy that I think he leaves that far exceeds what he's done with number nine on his chest and a helmet on his head."
"With Drew Brees' face on TV saying New Orleans is coming back, this is my city, this is my home; that coverage made all the difference in the world in New Orleans being the city it is today."
"I'll tell you my favorite thing about working with the Drew and Brittany. When they come here, I love for my kids to see the two of them together. I love the way he treats her. I love the way they are a team. I think that, you know a school leader always worries a little bit when so many kids of our kids walk around with T-shirts and with the jerseys that have No. 9 on the back. I can't tell you what it means, especially for the kids in New Orleans after Katrina, and especially for our kids coming back, to know that they're wearing the No. 9 for an incredibly good human being."
“He can make every throw and he can take a lick if he has to as far as standing in the pocket and being a big quarterback as normally that's why you see it. You know people talk about well you can't see over the offensive line. His passing percentage has been 72 percent. He has broken his own record numerous times as far as completion percentage is concerned in the NFL. So he's an active quarterback. He gets it out of his hand quick and he studies and prepares and he's competitive. That's a winning formula for any quarterback."
“He's a great athlete. You know he does such a great job in the pocket that you know a lot of times he's not getting outside the pocket to make plays. He does a lot in the pocket but he has such a great feel and he's got excellent feet that he finds those throwing lanes and again when he gets out of the pocket, you still see him making plays."
“First ballot Hall of Fame, first ballot Hall of Famer. … You know the one thing that I want to see him be able to do is win a league MVP. I think you know he's been kind of shafted a couple times on that. Unsure if that's going to happen now at this point but he's a first ballot Hall Famer and he is a great teammate."
“He’s a walk-in Hall of Famer in every sense of the word and with me already being in the Hall of Fame, I will go back every year and so when his time comes, I’ll be right there, on stage though. He had to sit in the crowd. I’ll be on stage behind him listening to his hall of fame speech."
“My hair has gotten a little grayer, and he has lost some of his, but that's about all that has changed."
"I mean he literally can do it all. He's up at 4:30 in the morning. He's up until probably like 11:30 at night. If he is not playing with the kids he is working. He's eating quickly and then going back to work or playing with the kids. I mean it's, he truly is the most amazing man I've ever met in my entire life. His work ethic is like nothing I've ever seen. I cannot find something to match it. You know and he loves it. I mean he is such a hard worker and he truly takes pride in being a good person and being a hard worker and a man of integrity and a man of his word. So I think whatever he does he's going to love and he's going to be super successful at it."
“I bet there's not a guy on the Saints team that wouldn't tell you that he doesn't want the attention. What he's doing, he's doing for others. He is a team builder and it's been that way since we put the pads on in 1993."

Rapid granular flow from a moving container and angle of repose formation were investigated by numerical simulations using the discrete element method (DEM) and experiments. Grain models of various geometrical complexity were studied and their ability to reproduce the experiments in those regimes was explored. The predictive power of the most realistic model for gravity driven cavity filling was assessed. Good agreement between computed and measured density distributions within the filled cavities provides a basis for numerical process variations aiming at homogenized density distributions. The effect of numerical coarse graining was found to be negligible for all properties of interest provided that force laws are scaled properly and corrections for boundary effects are taken into account. The proposed scaling was tested for a certain set of force laws but could be applied to different DEM forces as well. An analytic mass flow law for powder discharge from a moving container was derived and verified by our DEM simulations.

Every CV is unique to that individual person and nobody else is going to have exactly the same education, qualifications and experience. However many people make the mistake of designing a CV that does not allow them to stand out from the bundle of other CV’s they will be competing with. In order to have the best possible chance of interview the following five factors should always be taken into account.
Why should an employer choose you over the other two hundred applicants? What special ability do you have to bring to the position? Employers don’t just want to know how many computer packages you have used they also want to know how you can use this knowledge to make money for them by increasing efficiency in the office.
2. Keep it simple but informative.
An employer will only spend seconds glancing at your CV before he decides to either investigate it further or place it aside. That’s why it is imperative to make your CV visually attractive, easy to read and your attributes and experience should be clearly and concisely listed in a way that will make the potential employer want to interview you.
While it is a laborious process to rewrite each CV to specifically target the audience you have in mind this is the most effective method of getting an interview. A little bit more effort now really does pay dividends in the longer term.
The importance of proofreading your CV many times and making sure every word is spelt correctly cannot be overemphasized. As well as this make sure all your employment dates add up and that any contact email addresses, phone numbers or web addresses are still correct. Also never leave any period unaccounted for on your CV interviewers will ask what you were doing then.
If you have gone on any courses, or have acquired additional skills even if it is just from voluntary or casual work always remember to add new information to your CV and perhaps you might need to remove older information that might now be no longer relevant.

PwC’s Actuarial Services team use a vast array of both national and global resources that help us take an educated look over the business horizon.
No one knows what lies over the horizon. However, by using data, mathematics and other skilled insights, some people are able to get a better idea than others. Actuarial services are designed to determine what the future may hold and manage any associated financial risk, even when those risks are currently out of view. To do this, actuaries use sophisticated business forecasting and modelling to scientifically paint as accurate a picture of the future as possible.
Actuarial services are perhaps best known for their role in life insurance, general insurance, superannuation and government sectors, though they also help to mitigate business risk in New Zealand’s banking, fund management and various other integral industries.
Actuaries may assist with superannuation, employee benefits and Kiwisaver one day, and perform unit pricing and compensation calculations the next. Their ability to do these at the highest level requires skill, experience and resources that give organisations the best possible view. After all, the higher the platform, the further ahead you can see.
PwC has one of the largest actuarial consulting practices in New Zealand. Our qualified and experienced actuaries come from various backgrounds – including maths, statistics, computer science and economics. As a multi-disciplined team, we assist some of New Zealand’s leading organisations in both traditional and newer actuarial fields.
We use business modelling and forecasting to determine unit pricing, calculate client risk, find valuable interventions in the public sector and much more besides. Whether you’re an insurer, bank, government department or any other organisation in need of a better view, PwC actuaries are on hand to tailor a solution and help you take a peak over the horizon.
Flexibility is a key strength of ours, and we can provide actuarial services as and when you need them – whether that’s doing the work entirely or as an independent guide for your internal team. And because we’re part of the wider PwC network, we have an excellent vantage point of global affairs. With great resources, experience and a worldwide platform, PwC actuaries have everything on hand to give your organisation the best possible perspective.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team are experts in accounting valuations and can solve complex reporting problems that require forecasting, modelling and projections.
Unfortunately, we all know accounting is not as easy as it first sounds. The equation of income minus expenses only gets you so far, while new reporting standards often bring fresh challenges. For instance, the New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) have led to an increase in uncertain future transactions, which need to be captured as part of an entity’s financial statements.
But not to fret: PwC’s Actuarial Services team can help in numerous ways.
We can model loan repayments and debt accruals, taking into account the likelihood and probable amounts of future payments, and discounting appropriately to calculate a fair value for accounting purposes. Other organisations may be struggling to adjust the value of their assets as their carrying amount exceeds the likely recoverable amount (as per NZ IAS 36). We can help them estimate the likely recoverable amount by analysing past data and projecting future payments to extract the numbers organisations need for their financial statements.
These are just a few examples, though our actuaries are happy to confront any accounting valuations challenge you may have for them.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team works in the banking sector to provide sophisticated forecasting and modelling and lower the risk exposure of our clients.
The banking sector has been thrust heavily into the spotlight prior to the Global Financial Crisis. While New Zealand was largely unaffected compared to the rest of the world, that doesn’t mean our banks can afford to be any less vigilant when it comes to the damaging implications of poor lending – both financially and in terms of reputation.
That’s just one thing that PwC’s Actuarial Services team is trying to confront. We use financial mathematics and an analytical eye to help banks understand the risk drivers within their lending portfolio. With that comes better decision-making, easier regulatory reporting and a chance to avoid the mistakes of others.
We can also help by assessing your credit risk or capital requirements, and by assisting in the development of your own internal modelling resources. Our job is to use sophisticated forecasting and modelling to look for potential risks and opportunities ahead of time – whatever they may be – so our clients can act on them in the most appropriate way.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team perform a wide range of business forecasting and modelling using sophisticated resources from the PwC network.
The future is uncertain, which makes forecasting critical. So much can depend on a good business decision, so it’s important to be as informed as possible. We can help you quantify the risks and outline potential future scenarios so you’ll face the future with confidence.
Our models range from incredibly sophisticated forecasts, designed to eke out every detail from a possible scenario, to the relatively accessible, which can be used by a client’s internal teams.
We also offer flexibility, either as a team handling your entire actuarial project or as an outsourced addition to your existing business capabilities.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team can fix errors in unit pricing as well as calculate and improve compensation processes within fund management.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team can fix errors in unit pricing as well as calculate and improve compensation processes within fund management – either by ourselves or as an experienced, independent guide to your internal capabilities.
Unit pricing is a complicated process, especially when something goes wrong. We can help you fix errors, calculate compensation to investors and improve underlying operations to reduce the risk of future miscalculations.
At the same time, we can give you experienced advice on systems and methodologies, and help with other compensation processes, such as calculating the refunds of foreign exchange fees on credit cards.
We have a history of working with clients to help detect and fix errors through independent quality assurance, though we can be just as effective at proactively transferring our knowledge to strengthen the way you work.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team helps New Zealand’s general insurers in many ways, from pricing and reserving to strategy and regulation management.
Our actuaries for general insurance provide valuations for clients. Whether that’s for financial statements or to help guide business decisions, we have considerable experience in the valuation of claims liabilities for insurers of all sizes and lines of business.
For all the hard work it takes to get an offering ready for sale, if the pricing is wrong, it can all be for nothing. Price it too low and profits and solvency are endangered; too high and the market won’t respond in your favour. PwC’s actuarial services for insurers includes a review of your pricing to provide assurance, insights and resources when you need them.
New Zealand’s regulatory burden is getting heavier, and the brunt of it lies on the backs of insurance players themselves. We’re here to help you show the Reserve Bank how readily and accurately you can meet your regulation requirements, which may involve – for instance – preparing solvency returns, carrying out financial condition reports or completing your full license application.
PwC’s actuaries can analyse your strategic position, highlight current market trends, identify potential threats and spot opportunities that can keep your business in the ascendancy.
That being said, we aim to rise to any actuarial challenge. If you have a task for us, we’re confident that we can meet it using our people’s experience, skills and the global perspectives provided by being part of the PwC network.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team works with a wide range of government departments to help them consider uncertain future events and make better decisions.
We know better government decisions can be made with accurate long-term forecasting and modelling of the effects of policies and costs. In turn, smarter decisions can lead to more effective use of capital and – ultimately – more favourable public reaction. The business of government may be infamously complicated, and the future never completely certain, but actuaries are on hand to help.
As part of our Actuarial Services, PwC works with a wide range of government departments (both central and local) to consider uncertain future events. We forecast payments, such as the repayment of loans and debts as required for financial reporting, as well as model people and their flows between different circumstances. On the more niche side of our abilities, we can forecast other, more specific scenarios, like the impact of leaky buildings, for instance.
We also provide independent reviews of existing models and forecasts, or of the processes underlying them.
Some of our models are extremely sophisticated and used for scenario testing, but others are relatively simple and can be operated by your staff. Whether you need us to do the actuarial work for you or provide independent support and guidance to your internal teams, we have the flexibility to help how and when you need us.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team knows life insurance inside out, and our people use their analytical skills to keep such businesses on the front foot.
We work closely with PwC teams around New Zealand to offer life insurers strategic advice, life insurance tax assistance, accounting advice and risk management. For needs that extend beyond Aotearoa, we can also tap into the global perspectives and resources provided by the PwC network worldwide.
PwC’s Actuarial Services team helps to refine superannuation, employee benefits and Kiwisaver to make them as effective as possible.
We know how important your people are, and how important superannuation, Kiwisaver and employee benefits are to them. It’s a source of motivation and support to people, and often a differentiator for hiring companies.
independent advice during a takeover, merger or wind-up.
However, we’re happy to take on any challenge. Our team has considerable experience in reporting under NZ IAS 19 and has already helped a wealth of organisations by looking at superannuation, employee benefits and Kiwisaver with an acute actuarial eye.

Car accidents happen on a regular basis here in Oxnard. The Southern California car culture, in which almost everyone drives, results in many accidents. Oxnard roads are always full of automobiles, motorcycles and trucks. The likelihood of a crash is high. Yet, many people have no idea how to respond to an accident. This lack of knowledge can cost them money.
It is always best to contact an attorney about a road incident as soon as possible. An Oxnard lawyer can begin legal proceedings to retrieve any financial losses incurred by the accident. In fact, some drivers walk away from the whole affair with both compensatory and punitive damages awarded by a judge or jury.
Judges and juries allocate compensatory damages according to the amount of harm caused by the perpetrator. This decision depends on many factors. It is important that a personal injury lawyer meet with the client to create a detailed list of the costs of everything related to the accident. Compensatory damages seek to make the victim whole again after suffering losses, both financial and emotional.
Medical bills are a primary type of compensatory damage. The plaintiff, the person suing, usually has paid out of pocket expenses because of physical injuries. The one who caused the accident must often reimburse the plaintiff for these bills. Associated medical costs, including emotional suffering, are another source of compensatory damages. Many people become fearful of driving after an incident. This fact may mean they have to attend expensive psychological counseling. The court may award the costs of these sessions to the victim to ease the financial burden.
Finally, it is common for the authorities to award legal fees to the plaintiff. The rationale for this decision being that if not for the accident the person would not have had to retain a lawyer.
In general, this form of court award matches the amounts spent because of the accident.
Punitive damages are awards assessed to punish the defendant, the one accused of causing the crash. Oxnard car accident lawyers can request these damages for a variety of reasons. Usually, the objective is to demonstrate that the defendant drove recklessly and thus put the lives of others in danger, especially if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The lawyer can persuade the judge or jury that a severe punitive damage amount is the only way to send a message to this individual to drive more carefully on Southern California roads.
Because punitive damages have no direct link to any financial loss by the plaintiff, the amounts fluctuate. Sometimes the awards can be quite large. In other cases, the court may assess a nominal amount to demonstrate a disregard for the plaintiff’s claims.

The programme convinces through its small class size, excellent supervision and its very good structure.
What glues a society together? How can trust and cooperation be promoted and conflict be avoided? What is the role of social networks, social norms and formal institutions in these processes? What causes inequality in general and inequality between men and women in the job market in particular? Why do immigrants have higher unemployment rates and lower-paid jobs? How do environments and institutions shape people’s values, attitudes and behaviours? And how do these individuals’ values, attitudes and behaviours shape society at large?
In the Master’s programme Sociology and Social Research, you will learn how to answer these questions. We will teach you to develop explanations for relevant social phenomena using state-of-the-art theory from Sociology, but also other disciplines such as Economics and Psychology. You will test these explanations using quantitative empirical research methods.
This programme is closely related to the research programme of the Department of Sociology and is embedded in the Interuniversity Centre for Social Science Theory and Methodology (ICS). The programme is recognised as a high quality programme and has been awarded high ratings by different organisations in the Netherlands.
The programme’s international character offers you global perspectives on sociological topics as well as a broad range of research opportunities. About 40% of our students come from abroad and prominent international scholars teach masterclasses.

Thanks for cruising by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. I love answering questions about my favorite place in all the world - Disney Cruise Line's private island, Castaway Cay!
Castaway Cay is a beautiful port, with lots of fun things to see and do. Guests can visit the Boat Beach to rent a variety of boats and aqua rentals for splashtacular fun on the water.
Stand Up Paddle Boards are also available for rental - I think the rental cost for those is around $20.
Watercraft rentals are for thirty minutes of use, and are first-come, first-serve at Castaway Cay's Boat Beach.
You are more than welcome to bring your own snorkeling gear to the island. If you bring your own, please be aware that you'll be required to wear a life vest while snorkeling in the lagoon off Castaway Family Beach. Bright yellow life vests are available at Gil's Fins and Boats or at Flippers & Floats. The vests are thin, and you can inflate them to your comfort level. I've found the vests to be very comfortable when I've snorkeled there!
I hope this helps! It sounds like you're planning a day of fun in the sun when you visit Castaway Cay!

Glasnost, a new show opened at Haunch of Venison in April 2010 which looked at how artists challenged the social and political in the 1980s, and the legacies that remain today.
The 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall last year was marked by celebrations, festivities, and contemplation by people all over the world. The anniversary of such a seminal event served to re-focus attention back onto that period in history – especially that of the USSR and the cultural revolution that was occurring within the state at the time. This spring, curator Nina Miall, in conjunction and collaboration with the galleries Haunch of Venison, Volker Diehl, and Diehl + Gallery One, will stage an exhibition that takes as a starting point this cultural and social revolution as reflected and embodied in the work of Soviet non-conformist artists.
Government censorship of art and literature in the USSR ensured that it could not be used as form of political agitation or criticism; instead artists were encouraged to use their art as a visual ally of the state. State-sanctioned art thus presented an idealised view of the political and social situation of the state at the time. Obviously an inherently biased view, and one that Gorbachev, by implementing his reforms and encouraging an openness and freedom of expression, broke down. This is not to say that all Russian artists of the period had followed the ideological and artistic confines of the period, as many artists, such as Ilya Kabakov, left Russia to pursue their art and to expose the political and social fallacies of the Russian State to the rest of the world. Exposed to the “Western” ideologies of art these artists prospered – artistically and financially, and helped pave the way for other Russian contemporary artists to leave the USSR. Those artists who remained within the recently dissolved state struggled to find the freedom to express sympathies towards a libertarian world until Gorbachev’s two major reforms of the 1980s, Glasnost (“openness”) and Perestroika (“restructuring”), were implemented allowing artists this freedom that had been denied them.
The philosopher and critic, Theodor Adorno stated, “…it is to works of art that has fallen the burden of wordlessly asserting what is barred to politics.” This statement is particularly true with regards to the exhibition as the artists selected all produce work that is dissident and critical of the regime at the time, as well as of the current regime – though Miall would argue that the right of contemporary Russian artists to criticise through their work is now recognised by the authorities whereas historically this was not the case. The Communist state stripped artists of their right to independently create works of art; instead, they had to follow strict guidelines of production and behaviour. The piece of art existed no longer as an aesthetic entity but as a tool of propaganda cloaked under the guise of “art”. For many artists, the reaction to such restrictions was instantaneous and predictable. Walter Gropius’s (founder of the Bauhaus) reaction is perhaps the most succinct and clear as he states in a 1919 questionnaire: “Art and state are irreconcilable concepts. They are by their very nature opposed. The creative sprit, vital and dynamic, unique and unpredictable, refuses to be limited by the laws of the state or by the straightjacket of bourgeois values.” Perhaps a bit aggressive in his stance, Gropius is keenly aware of the danger of imposing state values onto art and of the cultural and social implications of doing so. However, reacting against aesthetic restrictions of production, especially Socialist Realism in the Soviet state, was dangerous and not without its own implications. Miall says that, “Soviet non-conformist art was violently radical: the aesthetic choices made by these artists were tantamount to revolutionary political statements,” as the act of rebelling against the imposed boundaries was necessarily a rebellion against the political state. Art was only allowed within the Soviet state as it was during Hitler’s reign in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s: as a vehicle to propagate the ruling government’s doctrines and beliefs.
The list of artists, which at first seems quite hefty, is still quite delimiting and Miall says it is by no way meant to be an exhaustive and all-inclusive list but rather an introduction. She has carefully chosen, through extensive research and discussions, a roster of works that provide as much of an exhaustive view as is possible of the period. The idea and impetus for the exhibition, which initially came from the gallerist and collector Volker Diehl, culminated in a smaller version of the exhibition (exhibited in 2008 in Moscow). The current version of Glasnost has grown significantly from its original, and has allowed Miall the freedom to include artists who had perhaps been left out due to time and space restraints. The lack of source material, catalogues, and documents with relation to this underground art movement has meant that Miall has had to focus on an extensive amount of first-person research, contacting and talking with artists, critics, gallerists, and curators active at the time. The resulting list of artists is thereby an interesting read of the art world at the time, as it has nothing to do with artistic economic success, but rather the success of the artist in creating works that continue to resonate – whether it be five or twenty years on.
Artists such as Bugaev (Afrika), drew attention to the absurdity of a state that dictated what could and could not be shown visually; Bugaev specifically by re-appropriating and altering early pieces of Communist propaganda. In this way, through the appropriation of existing pieces of art / propaganda, Afrika utilises the very cultural detritus that was meant to repress him. Other artists, like Kabakov, who focused their attention on the physical reality of living within the Soviet state: a reality at odds with the utopian existence portrayed by the Soviet media. Kabakov took space and altered it in such a way that his installations became a criticism of the stifling aspects of the room and a simultaneous criticism of the stifling aspects of the Soviet aesthetic conventions he grew up with. These two artists, Afrika, a relatively unknown artist in the “West” who utilises extant pieces of work and alters them to create a new piece, and Kabakov, internationally renowned in the “West”, who creates entirely new installations and spaces, are, in many ways, equally readable. Afrika takes recognisable propaganda and creates pieces of art that we, as a viewer, can interpret; Kabakov, whose works are inevitably slightly more difficult to grasp, has created installations we can read and understand through careful analysis and reflection. Kabakov stated, in a 1994 interview with the art critic Robert Storr, that “works of art, I think, consist of a series of traps, or concealments, through which the viewer has to pass.” Art, like literature or music, requires methods of understanding and it is through these methods that the true meaning often is revealed. This is the inherent political usefulness of art: that it can be used as a tool by revolutionaries and dictators alike as it is not autonomous from society (though some would argue it is).
The exhibition will serve to not only reveal many new artists to mainstream society, but will also expose the political, artistic, and social underpinnings of the society that had concealed them from view in the first place. Miall hopes to encourage a greater interest and research into the cultural revolution of the period – a revolution that, for the most part, has largely been ignored due to the politically sensitive nature of it. Contemporary Russian art has come to the forefront in recent years, showing up at auctions, with Sotheby’s staging their first auction in Moscow in 1988, and at museums and art galleries within and outside Russia. But it is the art produced during the 1980s and 1990s that has still to enjoy the same modicum of success or degree of popularity. Glasnost should hopefully change this reality.
Glasnost opened on 9 April 2010 and continued until 22 May 2010. www.hofv.com.

Communication is the process of conveyance of message from sender to the receiver upon which he or she is expected to encode and send back. This message must be decoded and then send to the recipient who is expected to encode it and then respond accordingly by sending a feedback. Communication is a truly critical element in an organization. The nature of communication taking place between the management and the workers is extremely important as far as success of the company is concerned.
Communication is the only means through which managers can relate with clients or the employees. Through communication, managers can obtain the views of the employees. The company can also learn what the public is saying. These provide management with valuable information necessary for initiating appropriate changes. This work would discuss the importance of communication in management.
Communication is a very valuable tool for marketing. The success of marketing managers typically depends on the manner in which they create and implement their communication strategies. Manager must be therefore be regularly updated and must have a lot of insight on how to lure customers through communication. He or she should also be aware of different means and modes of communication. This is very significant because some of the means may not reach the target population. It is therefore vital for a manager to be well informed of various factors to consider as far as communication-entailing marketing is concerned.
Such factors include the target population, the coverage of the means available, the cost, and the affordability of these means to both the target audience and the organization. Being the overall leader and owner of the organization, the manager must acknowledge the significance of communication especially in the field of advertisement. As far as the role of communication in the advertisement is concerned, the manager should be aware of the advertisement option available. This is important because a lot of technological development especially in the side of the information technology characterizes the current era.
Another importance of the communication especially to the manger is that it acts as a tool for promoting interpersonal relationship betwen the manager and the employees. Interpersonal relationship is crucial phenomenon as far as the productivity of the organization is concerned. When there is a close relationship between the management and the employees, it would be easier for the management to identify any issue that might arise.
Communication is also a tool for executing change in an organization. Change is normally executed through conveyance of information concerning the anticipated change to the people involved or affected. Therefore, a manger must have basic communication skills and tactics. This is important because the adoption and implementation of any change depends on the credibility of the information given concerning the change.
Another significance of communication as far as management is concern is that through communication, manager can easily delegates his or her duties. This means that communication is an inevitable component of an organization. Communication is also used to coordinate various departments in an organization. Coordination is an essential component in an organization. Coordinating different departments facilitate the achievement of set goals by the organization. This is because departments in organization rely on each other. It is therefore the role of the manager to ensure that all departments are well coordinated. Communication is therefore a handy tool for ensuring this.
Communication is also an indispensable tool for motivating the employees. Motivation is conducted through giving motivational speeches or talks. The success of the motivation processes depends on the eloquence and the composure of the motivator. Managers are motivators and role models in virtually all organizations. Therefore, they must have adequate communication skills. They should know how to give a motivational speech, the choice of words to use, the structure and the flow of the speech.
Communication also acts as a training tool. Training is an activity done to either orient, correct or promotes an employer. Training involves conveyance of information concerning a given field. The success of the training depends on how well the communication was done. It is therefore necessary for the manger to be always equipped with communication skills. This would prommote activities such as training that are fundamental as far as training and motivating the customers and or employees.
Several theories especially the motivational theories support the fact that communication is actually an essential component of management. According to Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, it is clear that motivation of the employees can be enhanced when the manager has good social skills. Furthermore, the McClelland's acquired needs theory support the fact that managers must have some exceptional communication skills with the employees because one way in which employees get motivated is when they are being encouraged, praised and motivated . The theory postulates that most of the employees need to be affiliated so that they can get motivated. They therefore seek companionship, social approval and seek satisfying interpersonal relationship. The manger is therefore, expected to be having many communication skills for handling, responding to such needs as well as building close interpersonal relationship with such employees.
Generally, according to these theories, achieving as a manger does not require someone who has higher expectation. Managers intending to achieve more are usually interested in how well they do personally and not in changing others to do well. They are mainly concern with their personal efforts. However, the theories claim that such managers do not succeed in the end. Conversely, the theories assert that the best managers should seek ways of influencing the employees and encouraging them to work harder.
Despite the fact that communication has a very significant role as far as management is concerned, it should be noted that the idea of management is a very tricky. There are no real prescriptions for successful management. Therefore, just as contingency approach states, the manager should be all rounded. He or she should have all elements of management because no single element is conclusive and comprehensive as far as the optimal management practices are concerned. Every manager must be ready to encounter different challenges and hence must arm himself or herself with more that one management tactics. Communication is just part of the many requirement s for a manager.

This program is a part of the very successful Michigan Agricultural Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) system, and is a certification for private forest landowners who are practicing good management and stewardship on their forested lands. After successfully working through the FHW-A-Syst workbook a property would become “MAEAP Verified,” illustrating that the landowner is managing their property at the highest standard.
The MAEAP - FWH system is modeled after the famous American Tree Farm (ATF) System. The ATF is one of America's highest standards for forest certification. By developing the FWH system after Tree Farm the State of Michigan is ensuring that the landowners of this state will be held to the highest standard of good stewardship.
Michigan's Conservation Districts and the Forestry Assistance Program are a key part of helping landowners through the verification process. Many of the Conservation Districts around the State employ FAP foresters who are familiar with MAEAP and will be able to identify and resolve management problems, if any, that would prevent a parcel from being verified.
One of the advantages of being MAEAP-Verified is that any cost-share project application through USDA/NRCS with have a higher priority rating in the competition for cost-share funds.

The American Human: Strange. The GOP Healthcare Bill Is Not Really about Healthcare. Hmm.
Strange. The GOP Healthcare Bill Is Not Really about Healthcare. Hmm.
It's maddening to hear all the GOP congresspeople lying through their teeth about both Obamacare and their own healthcare bill. It's more maddening to listen to the reporters and hosts of cable news being unable to counter them successfully -- even though they try their damnedest.
Tom Price will only win by lying -- and by being believed by the rubes.
I don't know what to think. No, I have no trouble knowing that the Republican healthcare plan is a sham and a scam and can only pass if enough people can be bamboozled, or enough people are bamboozled enough to make the GOP run the hazard of delivering a phony bill of goods.
Because that's what Ryancare/Trumpcare is. Where I'm lost is figuring out how the GOP/Trump base could fall for it.
The Congressional Budget Office’s assessment of Republicans’ plan to replace Obamacare is a description of one of the largest, most significant income redistribution programs the US government has ever considered — from the poor to the wealthy rather than the other way around.
The plan, the CBO concludes, would take more than $1 trillion away from programs targeting poor and middle-class families, to fund an $883 billion tax cut targeted at the wealthy. It is upward income redistribution of a truly massive scale.
That's basically it in a nutshell. Money that could or should go to the neediest Americans will be taken from them and given to the wealthy in tax cuts.
Pure and simple greed, spiced up with brutal cruelty.
Hey, Fredo, Wanna Go Fishing?

Louisiana has received eight unique works by Picasso, Miró, Kandinsky, Pollock, Dubuffet, Kiefer and Kelly. They form part of an extraordinary donation, valued at more than 100 million DKK, from the deceased Celia Ascher, New York.
Celia Ascher, the former director of The Riklis-McCrory Collection in New York, has been one of Louisiana's faithful friends and generous supporters since 1977. To mark the receipt of the final part of the donation from The Joseph and Celia Ascher Collection, which comprises a total of 200 works, a selection of 50 works are mounted in The Asger Jorn Gallery of the North Wing.
Naturally, this selection comprises the eight works which, until Celia Ascher’s passing last year, aged 93, she had kept in her private home in New York. They were her personal favorites.
Celia Ascher was born into a Jewish family in Berlin in 1920 and was thus the child of a European century marked by revolution, war and extermination camps – but at the same time by democratization and great technological advances. She succeeded in escaping to England, and after the war she moved with her husband Joseph to New York.
In New York, the new international centre of art, Celia Ascher began her work of collecting and disseminating modern art – Constructivist art in particular. This persistent focus ranged from the Russians in the first decades of the century over currents in central and western Europe before and after the war, all the way to the Minimalist movements of the 1960s.
As curator of The Riklis Collection of McCrory Corporation and as a private collector, she became very important to Louisiana. With a substantial donation from The Riklis Collection of McCrory Corporation in 1986 and donations from Celia Ascher’s private collection in subsequent years, Louisiana gained not only a significant historical representation of important currents in the art of the 20th century, but also strong links with the American art world.
Celia Ascher was not rich by American standards, but her collection – created with the rooms of her Upper East Side apartment rather than the scale of the museum in mind – is impressive and eye-opening. With the arrival of the last eight works - her personal favourites - after her death in 2014 The Joseph and Celia Ascher Collection’s donation of a total of 200 works to Louisiana has been completed.

If you have a loved one being detained in Belleville NJ Police Jail, then you need to follow the jail's instructions for inmate phone calls. Belleville NJ Police Jail's website, http://www.bellevillenj.org/departments/police_department/default.aspx can provide additional information about mailing packages to inmates.
If you have a friend or loved one who is a pre-trial detainee at Belleville NJ Police Jail you probably have many questions about the post-arrest legal process. The reality is that legal professionals are your best resource for answering these questions, because every individual faces different circumstances once arrested. Advice that is helpful for one person could actually be detrimental to another person. This is where bail bond services and criminal defense attorneys become invaluable resources. For example, many pre-trial detainees are eligible for pre-trial release, which an attorney can negotiate and a bail bond service can help you secure. Additionally, while criminal defendants are entitled to state appointed attorneys, this right may not apply if a defendant is only facing misdemeanor charges, even though the consequences of a misdemeanor conviction can still be significant. Consulting with a defense attorney about options is one way to try to ensure that your loved one's rights are protected during his or her interactions with the criminal justice system.

Margaret Bradley is the most senior associate at a prestigious law firm, and she is on track to make partner. It is the 1970s—her climb up the career ladder in this male-dominated profession has been difficult, but with hard work she has made herself one of the best in it. She is dedicated to her work and is happily married until one day her entire world is shattered by the sudden death of her son, Andrew, a military pilot. Now, Margaret lives with an all-encompassing sense of loss and regret that is pushing her further and further away from the person she once knew herself to be, and from her husband, Jack, a successful geologist and a loving and loyal partner.
Consumed by her sorrows, Margaret is drawn back to the family summer home in Sweetbarry, a small town on the North Atlantic coast, where she spent much of her childhood. Her lifelong best friend, Aileen, is close by, and when Aileen’s adult son, Danny, is questioned by local police in connection with a violent crime that shocks the community, Margaret provides legal and moral support. It is while doing so that an opportunity presents itself for her to confront her own sorrow. She sees a way forward and she reaches out with an act of courage and humility that has profound consequences.

Bitcoin fell as much as 20 per cent on Wednesday, piercing below $10,000, while other cryptocurrencies took similar spills due to investor fears that regulators could clamp down on them in an effort to curb speculation.
The world's biggest and best-known cryptocurrency at one point lost 30 per cent of its value since Tuesday. Bitcoin, despite some stabilization in late US trading, was half its record peak of almost $20,000 set on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp exchange a month ago.
Ethereum and Ripple, the No 2 and No 3 virtual currencies, tumbled after reports South Korea and China could ban cryptocurrency trading, sparking worries of a wider regulatory crackdown.
"There is a lot of panic in the market. People are selling to try and get the hell out of there," said Charles Hayter, founder of Cryptocompare, which owns cryptocurrencies.
"You have more regulatory uncertainty ... and because of these falls, you have these other fallouts," he said, referring to the collapse of some cryptocurrencies in the recent slump in prices.
Analysts at Citi said on Wednesday bitcoin could halve again in value amid the current rout, adding that a possible fall to a range between $5,605 and $5,673 "looks very likely to be very speedy".
"Cryptocurrencies could be capped in the current quarter ahead of the G20 meeting in March, where policymakers could discuss tighter regulations," said Shuhei Fujise, chief analyst at Alt Design.
The current rout in bitcoin and other digital currencies was a far cry from their dramatic run-up in 2017 when mainstream investors jumped on the bandwagon and as an explosion in so-called initial coin offerings (ICOs) - digital, token-based fundraising rounds - drove demand.
"Bitcoin is deciding whether this is the moment to crash and burn," said Steven Englander, head of strategy at New York-based Rafiki Capital.
There have been nine instances including the current selloff going back to 2011 where bitcoin`s price was halved on the Bitstamp exchange . The last time was from November 2014 to January 2015.
On Wednesday, bitcoin fell as low as $9,222 on Bitstamp, its lowest price since Dec. 1, as CBOE and CME bitcoin futures tumbled to contract lows.
The latest market losses stemmed from reports that South Korea`s finance minister said banning trading in cryptocurrencies is still an option and that Seoul plans a set of measures to clamp down on the "irrational" cryptocurrency investment craze.
Separately, a senior Chinese central banker said authorities should ban centralised trading of virtual currencies as well as individuals and businesses that provide related services.
"My conjecture is that cryptocurrency holders are trying to decide whether to abandon bitcoin because its limitations mean it will be superseded by better products or bet that it can thrive despite them," Englander said.
"The volatility of bitcoin - and other cryptocurrencies - is an expected, and important, part of the journey to becoming a mature asset class. We expect the volatility to continue throughout 2018 but fundamentally believe that bitcoin is still in a bull market," said Christopher Keshian, co-founder of $APEX Token Fund.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market value, was down 15 percent since Tuesday, according to website CoinMarketCap.
Ripple, the third-biggest, has lost 18 percent of its value over the past 24 hours and was quoted at $1.03, down from a high of $3.81 on Jan. 4.
"The run-up in bitcoin created a mystique of one-way trading which is being shaken, but the pricing requires faith that there will always be demand," Englander wrote in a research note. "This is far from guaranteed given the existence of alternatives with better characteristics."

Ionic Appflow Deploy (cordova-plugin-ionic) version 5 has been released! This major update introduces the following features to Ionic Appflow Live Deploy.
Differential Updates - Deploy will deliver only assets that have changed, increasing speed significantly.
CDN - Snapshots will now be hosted on a CDN improving accessibility, redundancy, and speed.
Improved API - Manage updates, cached snapshots, and redirects manually using the new API.
Improved Configuration Options - New option for checking snapshots when the app is running in the background.
Remember that plugin changes aren't binary compatible so you'll need to run new native builds if you change the version or configuration of your plugins.
You can restrict future snapshots to the appropriate native version by setting up native versioning.
iOS Note: In order to allow for new features, live deploys on iOS 10.2 and lower are no longer supported. Devices running iOS 10.2 will operate normally but will be restricted to the currently installed native version. The total distribution of iOS devices running iOS 10.2 or lower is approximately 7.3%.
Android Note: The latest version of cordova-plugin-ionic-webview (2.X) requires Android 5.0 or higher.
Review the updated setup docs.
Note: There have been some updates to the Deploy-related plugins since v5 launched. If you are going the upgrade route or starting with a new app, ensure that you're using the latest versions.
Review the legacy plugin docs. This version includes the new features with support for both the legacy and new APIs. This will allow you time to refactor your deploy setup to make use of the updated API.
Note: This version of Deploy (4.2.0) is only recommend if you require use of the legacy Deploy API. Otherwise, it is highly recommended to use Deploy v5 or stick with 4.1.7 (below).
The maximum supported versions for the full legacy implementation of deploy with support for iOS 10.2 and lower are shown below. If you'd like to stick with the earlier implementation we recommend these versions.
See our article on managing dependencies for more details on setting an explicit version.
Here's an example of the commands necessary to force the correct version.

Whatever the season, the headscarf is a must-have accessory for completing your look. Make sure your headscarf is in a metallic hue this season, similar to those spotted on the Atelier Gustavolins Spring-Summer 2015 at Paris Fashion Week.
A low-slung ponytail with long, straight, glossy locks. Thanks to this timeless updo, models appeared feminine and oh-so elegant. Yet the defining detail that changed everything was, without a doubt, their metallic head scarves! This accessory helped add some personality to the look whilst opening up the models' faces and complimenting their complexions. Head scarves were tied into a headband-style knot to help show off models' lengths whilst roots were backcombed at the crown to boost volume.
Make like the runway models and combine this unique hairstyle with a sophisticated make-up look and outfit. This glamourous style is ideal for special occasions...pair with your favourite LBD for your next evening out about town.
Start by creating super-glossy locks by washing with Nutrition and Shine shampoo from the Hydra Therapy range. Dry carefully, then backcomb the roots at the crown. Gather your lengths at the nape of the neck and create a low ponytail, securing with a hair tie. Next, fold your headscarf into the necessary shape, then place on top of your style at the front near your forehead. Complete the look with a veil of hairspray.
