The programme of this design competition, won in 2008 by Hamonic + Masson & Associés architects, was to reconstruct the Marne departmental archives annexe, situated in the French city of Reims. The new construction is located opposite the old building, and the project was completed and delivered by Hamonic + Masson & Associés in 2014. The aim was to turn the building in to a modern history research hub and a regional information centre, whilst expanding the linear archival storage space from 7km to 18km.
Considering the size and the impact on the site, we wanted this project for the Reims archives to be read in several ways, to tell different tales depending on distance or nearness to the building, and to allow the discovery of many different elements and feelings as one walks through.
Located on a gentle slope, the building stands in such a way that does not spoil or overload the setting. It’s a line that we see from the background. Visitors take a path that gradually gives way to the access ramp. The reception area is an intermediary space, before opening onto the inner garden. The entrance demonstrates the building’s functional organisation that we see through the transparent patio.
The effect of time will reveal the charm of the natural, raw materials (glass, metal and golden-brown varnished concrete.) With their richness, textures and vibrations, these industrial materials gain in poetry. It is an aesthetic refinement, which, if applied with care, gives the building consistency and identity.
Programme: Reconstruction of the Marne regional archives annexe located in Reims.

Today I decided to give Bob Ross`technique a try on ArtRage.
Very nice. I've been watching a few of videos recently as well.
Welcome. Certainly a "tidy and clean" painting. So a praise to Mr. Bob Ross who seem to have convinced and grown legions of US people to appreciate and start painting.
I think, considering Your beginning, that You may soon leave elementary school for higher and higher degrees and find plenty of other great masters along the centuries and from all over to enjoy and learn from, once Your basic skills are complete and mature. As a most modest advice, once You feel confident with the brush and mixes, don't get lost in details, techniques, tips and tricks, but look at any painting as a whole vision to tweak, enhance, balance and harmonize according to Your inspiration and purpose.
I personally suspect that Bob Ross was an inspiration when they wrote the ArtRage Program. Certainly in the early days of the forum, people were talking him up and comparing this tool and that to what he did on TV.
My recollection is that Bob Ross was not a colorist per say, and so this seems live a fairly good painting based on his demos. Certainly when you take it farther, one can always study color more, as can every artist.
My 2 cents on color temperature would be to consider that on the whole in outdoor daytime scenes the shadow colors tend to be cooler in temperature than the directly lit parts because the blue sky get's reflected into the shadows. So it's not just about getting darker. But that guideline doesn't need to be in every painting. We bend the rules all the time as we try stuff out to see how it plays. Famous artists have done it all different ways throughout the years. And in your context here, it doesn't bother me as you have it because your overall color is contained within a color range.
So you hit the nail on the head with this one. And it looks good! Very Bob Ross.

Thank you for your kind critique! I will try to improve alot in my future paintings, because this is my very first finished painting ever!
What is your opinion about custom brushes/sticker sprays that one can download? I used a lot of Loadus' sticker sprays for the foliage.
Wouldn't it be a bigger personal success to improve painting with ArtRage without using custom content?
I don't know if I used the right words for my own critique before. I do not think the colors of my foliage are "wrong" because they are too bright. They can look incredible in a forest painting I think.
foreground colors will look alot better in context!
Dear mate, custom brushes and sticker sprays may be useful, also depending on the style you use and some painting skills helping You to make them look less fictitious, dummy. Personally I don't use them too much, more on some abstract composition I'd say. Sometimes I use them just to help to get some ground textures in a fast way, generally overpainting or blending or whatever to merge them into a more traditional drawing/ painting layer. In the past there was an excellent artist mate in here who was very experimental in his various top quality excercises and studies that used them for some lower layers to set up textures and harmony, to then overpaint with traditional thinner brushstrokes thus keeping, also by blending, what was the added value of that base. A little bit like when You paint on real canvas a non uniform base layer using also splashes, sponge, hard brush or comb or any other tool giving You an underneath general or local texture.
Nature and hair brushes are among the most useful ones in my modest opinion, to speed up on some illustration, but, in general, if you want to vary also some of the stickers settings to make it look more real and casual, well You save less time than expected.

Stone, bronze, iron... glass? In his recent thought and writing, transdisciplinary artist and thinker Michael Garfield defines modernity as an age of glass, arguing that the entire ethos of our era inheres in the transformative enchantments of this amorphous solid. No one would deny that glass plays a central role in our lives, although glass does have a knack for disappearing into the background, at least until the beakers or screens crack and shatter. Glass is weird, and like a lot of weird things, it can serve as a lens (so to speak!) for observing our world from strange new angles. In this episode, Michael joins Phil and JF to talk through the origins, the significance, and the fate of the Glass Age.

But, this year I have found the perfect way keep it simple yet looking super Christmassy. After scouring through many pins on Pinterest it's kinda hard not to be inspired in every way possible.
These few ideas I'm going to share are super easy and kinda fun at the same time! All you need is plain brown cardboard boxes which are so cheap but they make such a lovely base and saves struggling with wrapping too. I then decorated with ribbon, string and lots of festive bits and pieces!!

"Latin America is waking up and no one can stop it" Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said in a brief statement to the media as he arrived in Chile for the 17th Latin American Summit, Friday. Chavez, who was received by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet and other Latin American leaders in Club Hipico, Santiago, added, that he was "very happy to be in the land of Allende."
The principal theme of the summit, which concludes on Saturday, is ‘Social Cohesion' and the search for a more inclusive society in Latin America.
Chavez said he supported the deliberations of the summit, which will approve two documents; the Declaration of Santiago and a Plan of Action, which will propose joint initiatives to deal with labour, health, education, taxes and corruption issues in Latin American states.
Although, he argued, "I don't much like the word ‘cohesion.' It is better to speak of social transformation; it is a more dynamic term in comparison with the word cohesion, which denotes statism."
Latin America is waking up, he declared, and nothing nor anyone can stop it. "There is an awakening of millions of people, indigenous, women, campesinos, and this is the most important thing because individually we do not make history, rather it is the people that make history."
However, he warned, "The Latin American rightwing is lining up to attack the Bolivarian revolution." They aim to undermine, "the series of changes that we are carrying out...a process of changes that has resonance in the region," he said, "using the power of the mass media to externally sell a surreal image of what is happening in Venezuela."
"They are preoccupied with what is happening in Venezuela," the Venezuelan president continued, "because what is happening is a revolution; a moral, political, democratic and peaceful revolution."
The oligarchy and rightwing elites of the continent, Chavez said, "Fear the Bolivarian revolution, this is why the attack us so much and satanize us."
These same elites that attack the Bolivarian revolution, Chavez explained, "are those that failed when they had the destiny of Venezuela and the region in their hands.
"The neoliberal rightwing failed in the 1990s to reduce poverty and misery," and now "the cause of this failure is being defeated by the revolution," he explained.
Venezuela, with the support of Cuba, has solicited the extradition of Posada Carilles, a Venezuelan national, from the United States in order to charge him over the Cuban airline bombing. However, so far the US has refused to hand him over.
"I hope for the fall of North American imperialism, because this imperialism obeys no one. It only obeys its own obscene interests. This century, maybe in the first few years of this 21st century, North American imperialism, which has done so much damage to the Latin American people, will fall."
Chavez also plans to attend the parallel Summit of the Peoples at the University of Science and Art (USA) in Santiago, which opened this morning with a series of debates on social, environmental, economic and cultural themes, with an emphasis on the inequalities that afflict the continent.
Rector of the USA, Carlos Margotta, who inaugurated the summit, said it "aims to consolidate a platform of popular demands and strategic objectives for all the peoples and their organizations throughout the continent."
Forums throughout the summit will address the social problems experienced by millions of Latin Americans, and ways to end political exclusion and discrimination in the region. It will also deliver a document elaborated over three days of debate to the government leaders at the Latin American Summit.
The Summit of the Peoples will close on Saturday with a massive event in the Velodrome National Stadium, at which Chavez is expected to speak, along with Bolivian President Evo Morales and Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, as well as Carlos Lage, the vice- President of Cuba.

OPPOSITION Leader Luke Foley has challenged the NSW Government to quickly repeal its greyhound racing ban so trainers have peace of mind over Christmas.
The clock is ticking, with just one more sitting week before Parliament shuts down for the year. It will not resume until February 14.
Mr Foley introduced a bill to reverse every measure in the Greyhound Racing Prohibition Act, which passed both houses of parliament after a mammoth session in August only to be abandoned two months later.
"It was such an urgent matter to ban greyhound racing that we were kept here until four in the morning,” Mr Foley said.
"Now the Premier says there is no urgency about repealing the ban it can wait until sometime next year.
Premier Mike Baird admitted he "got it wrong” on the ban amid growing concerns of a backlash against the National Party at the Orange by-election, following former member Andrew Gee's move to federal politics.
Voters are set to hit the polling booths this weekend.
The traditionally safe seat is likely to remain a National Party stronghold, if punters' betting habits are anything to go by.
Online bookmaker Sportsbet has Nationals candidate Scott Barrett paying $1.20 to win the by-election, with three quarters of money wagered backing him.
The Nationals have held the seat since 1947 and currently hold it by a 21.7% margin.
"I do not want the people of Orange to be conned this weekend that the government will repeal the greyhound racing ban only for Mr Baird to come back to parliament next week and say, 'Maybe it's still an option, you know',” Mr Foley said.
An RSPCA-commissioned survey of 834 NSW and ACT residents last month found 64% supported the greyhound ban, with 36% opposing it.
The figures transcended political lines, with 66% of Liberal voters, 63% of Nationals supporters and 61% of Labor voters saying they thought the ban should stick.
Racing Minister Troy Grant has been asked to comment.

5th January 2018, Chilanga, Lusaka: the Department of National Parks & Wildlife (DNPW) hosted a ceremony at their headquarters for the official handover from WCP - Wildlife Crime Prevention of motor vehicles and other equipment to help address the illegal wildlife trade in Zambia.
At the event DNPW director, Mr. Paul Zyambo was presented with ten vehicles, laptops, smart phones, cameras and other equipment by WCP, with funding from the United States Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). In attendance were the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism and Arts, Dr. Liya Mutale as well as representatives from the United States Embassy and the African Parks Network.
The U.S. Department of State: Bureau of Intl Narcotics & Law Enforcement (INL) leads the United States’ anti-crime and counter-narcotics efforts and assists its partner nations in increasing their law enforcement capacities. As part of a joint grant “ZAPIT – Zambian Prevention of International Trade in Wildlife” WCP in partnership with the Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) and African Parks have been awarded 2 years of funding to support DNPW in combatting wildlife trafficking in the North Luangwa/Bangweulu Wetlands region.
Since 1986, FZS has been working with DNPW in the North Luangwa region and has been involved in the management of North Luangwa National Park and its surrounding areas. The Bangweulu Wetlands are managed through the Bangweulu Wetlands Management Board, a public-private partnership between African Parks, DNPW and the six Bangweulu communities. This northern region of Zambia is home to important elephant, rhino and lion populations which are in need of protection from increasing wildlife crime.
This project will implement a cross border approach to strengthening law enforcement and criminal justice institutions tackling the wildlife trafficking hotspots across this northern region of Zambia. Operational funding will be provided for 12 Intelligence and Investigations Units in the area which borders both Tanzania and Malawi and is under increasing threat from organised transnational wildlife crime syndicates.
In 2017, WCP’s support to the DNPW Intelligence and Investigations Units throughout Zambia aided in the arrest of 1,263 suspects, the seizure of 3,062kgs of ivory, 34 heavy calibre rifles, 356 rifles (shotguns and muzzleloaders), 5,591kgs of bushmeat and 70 pangolins. This has been possible due to funding from our partners who include The Wildcat Foundation, Vulcan Inc. and The Elephant Crisis Fund.
Wildlife Crime Prevention continues to support the Department of National Parks and Wildlife under the Ministry of Tourism and Arts in working tirelessly to ensure wildlife criminals are brought to justice in Zambia.

I will not let you fall, for I am watching over you day and night.
God does not sleep and He does not slumber. He watches over us day and night so that we will not stumble and fall. The image that comes to mind as I write today's devotional is that of a doting father watching over his little toddler as the child is learning to take its first steps. Wherever the little one goes, the father is following very close behind to make sure that no accidents happen.
The NLT translation of Psalm 121:3 says it this way... He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. No matter where you go, no matter what time of the day or night, God is watching over you, caring for you to make sure that you don't stumble.
What a loving Father we have! Just as no earthly father would want to see his toddler bump his/her head on a coffee table or fall down a step, so our Heavenly Father is watching over us to make sure that we don't stumble and fall. May this simple picture of God's protecting love bring encouragement to our hearts today.

9.27pm EDT 21:27 Will Trump get a third pick?
Donald Trump on Monday nominated Brett Kavanaugh, 53, to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.
The nomination will set in motion an acrimonious and expensive confirmation process that is likely to turn on how he handles questions about Roe v Wade.
Conservative groups have already launched what will collectively be a multi-million dollar campaign in support of Trump’s nominee.
Democrats’ strategy for blocking Kavanaugh’s confirmation hinges on keeping their caucus unified in opposition and persuading two pro-choice Republican senators to join them.
All eyes will be on a handful of moderate Republicans and Democrats who are under immense pressure from activists of both parties.
In the coming weeks, Kavanaugh will meet with the senators in anticipation of his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
We’re going to wrap up our coverage of Trump’s Supreme Court nominee for the evening. Thanks for reading – goodnight!
In selecting Judge Brett Kavanaugh to fill the vacancy left by Justice Kennedy, President Trump has chosen a nominee with impeccable credentials and a strong record of upholding the Constitution. Over the course of Judge Kavanaugh’s impressive legal career, he has built a reputation as a fair, independent, and mainstream judge who has earned widespread respect from his peers. One of the Senate’s highest constitutional responsibilities is to provide advice and consent on nominations to the Supreme Court, and I look forward to the Senate fulfilling this critical duty through a fair and thorough confirmation process.
Trump is known to harbor suspicions about people he believes are loyal to his predecessor, George W. Bush. In the run-up to Kavanaugh nomination, some analysts predicted that the judge’s tenure working for the Bush administration could be a red flag for this president as he made his decision. But clearly Trump was able to look past that.
The Daily Beast has some reporting on why that might be in this case.
Interesting criticism from Michigan congressman, Justin Amash, a libertarian, who raises concerns about Kavanaugh’s views on the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure.
The nomination, if confirmed by the Senate, would represent one of the most consequential decisions of Trump’s presidency.
Kavanaugh’s record will come under particular scrutiny for clues as to how he might vote in any future review of Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 decision that guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion.
Trump’s pick comes less than two weeks after Justice Anthony Kennedy, often the “swing vote” in the court’s rulings, announced his retirement, and 18 months after he won plaudits from conservatives for appointing Neil Gorsuch to the court.
Tonight explains – at least in part – why so many conservatives have yet to abandon Trump.
President Trump has made an outstanding decision in nominating Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Brett is a brilliant jurist who has faithfully applied the Constitution and laws throughout his 12 years on the D.C. Circuit. He is a fine husband, father, and friend – and a man of the highest integrity. He will make a superb Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Judge Kavanaugh has impressive credentials and extensive experience, having served more than a decade on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Senator Cory Booker, Democrat of New Jersey, says he is “strongly opposed” Kavanaugh’s nomination.
Senator Kamala Harris, Democrat of California, also announces her opposition to Kavanaugh.
I know personally just how consequential this seat on the Supreme Court is. Almost two decades after the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, I was part of only the second class to integrate the Berkeley, California public schools. If that Court had not issued that unanimous opinion led by Chief Justice Earl Warren in that case argued by Thurgood Marshall, I likely would not have become a lawyer, or a prosecutor, or a been elected district attorney, or the Attorney General of California. And I certainly would not have become a United States Senator.
Bernie Sanders, independent of Vermont, responded to the announcement in a Facebook video in which he asked supporters to join the fight to block Kavanaugh from reaching the supreme court.
Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrat of New York, also plans to oppose Kavanaugh.
This new judge could be the deciding vote in whether insurance companies can charge people more, or don’t have to cover them at all anymore, if they have preexisting conditions — and nearly half of all New Yorkers have a preexisting condition. He could be the deciding vote to uphold the disastrous Citizens United decision, which allowed corporations to pour unlimited money into our politics. And he could be the deciding vote in overturning Roe v. Wade, which is what President Trump said he wanted his new Supreme Court Justice to do.

This petition made change with 132,058 supporters!
The Scottish Natural Heritage have authorised the culling of ravens in Perthshire as part of a five year experiment to see if the breeding of another species of birds, called wader birds, would improve if there were less ravens around.
The killing of hundreds of ravens is part of “research to better understand” what animals and environments affect wader birds.
To propose culling these beautiful and intelligent birds as an experiment without any shred of evidence whatsoever is just plain wrong!
Animals and birds are not a threat to nature - they ARE nature! The royal society for the protection of birds has shown the negative factors affecting these wader birds are well understood, and there are ways to conserve these birds that wouldn’t involve murdering ravens - or any other animals.
Nature is perfectly capable of balancing herself so lets leave her be, after all she was doing fine till we came along! SNH should be ashamed to even consider destroying such a vital part of our heritage.
Ravens are beautiful and intelligent birds. We cannot allow this to happen!
We don’t have much time to change SNH’s mind. So I urgently need your support now.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced it will take steps to prevent youth access to flavored tobacco products, including electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). The agency said it also plans to ban menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars.
Youth use of e-cigarettes is a serious and growing public health crisis. According to the 2018 National Youth Tobacco Survey, 3.6 million people under 18 report using e-cigarettes, up from 1.5 million the previous year. More than two-thirds (67.8 percent) are using flavored e-cigarettes. The survey found a 78 percent increase from 2017 to 2018 in current e-cigarette use among high school students and a 48 percent increase among middle school students.
While the FDA stopped short of an outright ban on flavored e-cigarettes—despite recent suggestions it would do just that—the agency said stores would only be allowed to sell such products from closed off-areas inaccessible to teenagers.
The policy would apply to all ENDS products, including e-liquids, cartridge-based systems and cigalikes, in all flavors except tobacco, mint and menthol. For instance, the proposed policy would apply to flavors such as cherry, vanilla, crème, tropical, melon and other flavors that specifically appeal to children.
The FDA said it would also take steps to ensure strong age-verification procedures for retail and online sellers.
The FDA also announced it will pursue a ban on menthol in combustible tobacco products, including cigarettes and cigars, informed by the comments on its Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. Menthol cigarettes account for about 35 percent of cigarette sales in the United States. Scientific data shows that menthol use is likely associated with increased smoking initiation by youth and young adults.
The California Medical Association (CMA) has long recognized that tobacco use is a costly habit that often leads to illness and poor health. In 2016, CMA produced a white paper that assessed evidence and research on the impact of flavored and mentholated tobacco products on public health, particularly among priority populations. The white paper found that flavored and menthol tobacco products are “starter” products that establish daily habits and promote addiction to tobacco products, make it harder to quit and increase use of multiple tobacco products concurrently. Flavorings used in tobacco products do not reduce the health impacts and risks associated with tobacco use, and are not safer than non-flavored tobacco products. Further, youth, certain racial/ethnic groups, and other targeted priority populations are particularly vulnerable to sweet flavors and menthol, and are largely driving the uptake and sustained use of flavored tobacco products.
CMA submitted comments urging the FDA to weigh these concerns as it moves forward with its regulatory action.

Pupil Premium funding was introduced by the Government in April 2011 to help disadvantaged children and young people do well at school and therefore, additional funding is given to schools so that they can support their Pupil Premium eligible students and close the gap between them and their peers. The funding is allocated to schools for students from Reception to Year 11, who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years ( known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’) and those who are in care. Schools also receive a smaller amount of funding (SPP) for students who have parents in the Armed Forces or who are in receipt of pensions under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pensions Scheme (WPS).
Each Pupil Premium student generates £935 in annual funding, whilst Looked After Children generate £1900. Children with parents in the armed forces generate £300. Due to the numbers of students eligible, ASPIRE received £39,789.00 this current year (2017-18) to date.
At ASPIRE we have a strong belief that excellent teaching and learning is paramount to the progress of all students and particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. There is a consistent and relentless focus by all staff at ASPIRE to ‘narrow the gap’. This means that there is a Constant focus on high quality teaching and learning, as well as targeted intervention and specific support strategies for all disadvantaged students. We aim to ensure that the provision for Pupil Premium students is seen throughout everything we do in terms of teaching and learning and not just an additional ‘add on’.
53% of our students are eligible for Pupil Premium funding and this includes those who are both full time and dual registered and this figure is significantly higher than the national average. ASPIRE recognises that each individual student has different needs, concerns and aspirations and we strive to ensure the best outcomes for everyone regardless of their background and disadvantages. In some cases the support may be in the form of supporting a student’s progress in reading, individual mentoring sessions, visits or literacy initiatives. Many of the students that we support at ASPIRE are disadvantaged in many ways yet they do not fall under the category of Pupil Premium. We recognise this and endeavour to provide every single student who comes through our doors with a warm, supportive and enriching experience whereby we will go above and beyond to enable them to achieve their potential.
At this school, the health, safety and well-being of every child are our paramount concern. We listen to our students and take seriously what they tell us. Our aim is that children will enjoy their time as students in this school. We want to work in partnership with you to help your child to achieve their full potential and make a positive contribution. Our Child Protection officer is James Sisk, Assistant Headteacher.
On rare occasions our concern about a child may mean that we have to consult other agencies even before we contact you. The procedures, which we follow, have been laid down by the Buckinghamshire Area Safeguarding Team and Aspire has adopted a Safeguarding Policy in line with this for the safety of all.
If you want to know more about our procedures or the policy, please speak to a member of SLT.
We are continually looking for new talent to join our inspiring team so contact us and let us know why you are interested in working with us?

Current and former chief financial officers (CFOs) are increasingly seen as valuable additions to corporation’s boards, according to new research from Ernst & Young.
The firm’s final report is based on a survey of 800 global CFOs and a more in-depth study of the career paths taken by 347 CFOs working at major companies with over $5 billion in annual revenues, as well as interviews with executives, governance experts and academics.
Among respondents to the CFO survey, 79 percent said they believe that their financial expertise has driven an increase in demand for them to serve on corporate boards.
Furthermore, information from the career path study showed that, among the major companies looked at, 14 percent of their board members were current or former CFOs. This represented a considerable increase over 2002, when the figure was only 8 percent.
Over the same period of time, the proportion of audit committee chairs who are former or current CFOs has more than doubled, rising from 19 percent in 2002 to 41 percent in 2012.
Corporate recruiters can help companies connect with leading talent through a financial professional search, whether they are looking to fill CFO jobs or find qualified financial experts to serve in other roles.

It's often hard to keep up with all the questions that come from children's inquisitive minds and active mouths, and the challenge is never bigger than when they ask the biggest questions of all--Who is God? Where did He come from? Why should I believe in Him?
As this picture book introduces two fun child characters who are full of questions about God, readers go along for the discovery, learning richly about the glory and wonder of their Father. Written by an apologetics professor with a love for both stories and children, Why God? takes apologetics and makes it accessible for young readers, not only answering their questions but also opening their hearts to the wonders of God.

With different people, or even just a different combination of people it can completely flip the story on its head. There is a similar effect with table top games like dungeons and dragons. The different party members each play different characters, so a group of charismatic adventurers would play a situation differently from a group of strong warriors, who would in turn play quite differently from a group of wizards.
All of these stories could be just as good as one another, it just depends on the situation. This is the beauty of people coming together to tell a story. A dungeon master can create a world that seems full of life and wonder, but nothing will ever come of it without the help of some incredible players. Critical Role is an excellent example of this, which is a group of dungeons and dragons players that consists of some big name voice actors that has been running for half a decade or so.
This has brought their characters a real personality as they all have their own voice, facial expressions, etc. Matthew Mercer, who you may know as the voice of Mcree from Overwatch, runs the campaign, and has an amazing world set up that could technically exist on its own, but it nothing without the players. All of this ties in to this idea of cooperative storytelling quite well as there is as much of a dependency on the players as there is on the world.

The Hindu’s article about the Prime Minister’s Office’s “parallel negotiations” for the Rafale deal has kicked up quite a storm, even by modern standards. Rahul Gandhi and Nirmala Sitharaman have traded blows, while N Ram stands solidly behind his expose. Letters from French prime ministers are being hurriedly pulled out to justify aspects of the deal, and we’ve learned that the article doesn’t include Manohar Parrikar’s response to the claims of undermining.
In the midst of all the confusion, we finally heard from someone who should have been able to clarify things and definitively end the debate: Air Marshal SBP Sinha, leader of the Indian Negotiating Team (INT). The INT was the team of seven officials tasked with negotiating the commercial aspects of the Rafale deal, including the benchmark price and the general terms and conditions.
Speaking to ANI, Air Marshal Sinha said the note had nothing to do with the Indian Negotiating Team, and questioned the motives of Deputy Secretary (Air II) SK Sharma, who had written the note.
Also Read : Should PM Modi be Worried About The Hindu’s New Rafale Expose?
The Quint reached out to Sinha to follow up on this statement, but unfortunately, we are left with more questions than answers after speaking to him.
Question 1: What About the INT Member Who Signed the Note?
However, the note does bear the signature of the Joint Secretary and Acquisition Manager (Air) – who we knew to be part of the negotiating team, thanks to the government’s affidavit to the Supreme Court last year.
It is strange that the leader of the INT would have no clue whatsoever about a note signed by one of his team members, and that one of them did sign the letter does make his initial, categorical statement, untrue. Moreover, even if Sinha had no idea that the JS & AM (Air) – Rajeev Verma – had signed the note, this doesn’t mean the note wasn’t true.
Question 2: Was Manohar Parrikar Wrong About Degree of PMO Involvement?
Sinha has also inadvertently contradicted the much-touted response of then-Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar to the protest note. Current Raksha Mantri Nirmala Sitharaman had attacked N Ram’s article for selectively quoting the note and cropping Parrikar’s response from its photo of the last page of the note.
“It appears that PMO and French presidents office are monitoring the progress of the issue which was an outcome of the summit meeting. Para 5 appears to be an over reaction.
As can be seen in bold, Parrikar seemed to believe that the involvement of the PMO and the French president’s office at this juncture was just to monitor issues in the negotiation. Monitoring would not imply active involvement, meaning there was no interference or undermining.
Sinha has openly admitted that the PMO and its equivalent in France made the decision about dropping a sovereign/bank guarantee requirement, and accepting a comfort letter instead.
Question 3: Why Did the PMO Not Consult With the MoD or Negotiating Team Before Agreeing to No Guarantee?
Let us assume that there was nothing untoward about the defence minister having no clue that the PMO and the French president’s office were sorting out negotiation points, without the INT being at the table.
The Defence Acquisition Council had mandated the INT to negotiate the terms and conditions, including “the responsibility and obligations of French Government, pricing, delivery schedule, maintenance terms, offsets, IGA terms, etc.” (see the government affidavit on the procedure followed for the Rafale acquisition). The question of guarantees versus letters of comfort clearly falls within this mandate, so one would imagine the INT needed to have a say in making this decision.
But according to Air Marshal Sinha, the PMO dealt directly with their French counterparts, and arrived at a decision which the INT had no clue about till they were informed of it by French lead negotiator General Reb in a letter.
This means the PMO did not consult the INT when it agreed to drop the requirement for a sovereign guarantee or a bank guarantee. It may well be that the INT would have not objected to settling for a letter of comfort, but it was imperative for the PMO to ask the question.
What makes this even more pertinent is that, as The Quint revealed in November 2018, three of the seven members of the INT had specifically objected to the lack of bank guarantees.
This directly contradicts what Sinha says – that the matter was taken up by the French with the PMO.
Question 4: How Could Air Marshal Sinha Have No Knowledge of the ‘Note of Concerns’ by Rajeev Verma, AR Sule, and MP Singh?
The Quint and the Economic Times have both done stories relating to a ‘Note of Concerns’ by three members of the INT, in which they had raised 10 objections to the deal. These ranged from the determination of the benchmark price to concerns over the financial health of Dassault, and the Defence Ministry produced a detailed note explaining how each of these issues was resolved.
This is interesting because the Defence Ministry note specifically states that several of these objections, including those on the benchmark price, were resolved by a 4:3 vote among members of the INT. The most prominent example of this was of course the increase in the benchmark price from EUR 5.2 billion to EUR 8.2 billion, which was necessary for the deal to be commercially viable.
If the INT voted on these issues, how is it possible that the leader of the INT had no knowledge about the objections raised? Is this merely a question of Air Marshal Sinha momentarily forgetting what happened back then, or is this a deliberate obfuscation? This clear contradiction is also why one could have reservations over whether or not the JS & AM (Air) actually failed to inform Sinha about the protest note (see Question 1).
Question 5: What About the Arbitration Issue?
A final point to note is that the sovereign guarantee issue is only cited in the MoD protest note as one of the examples of how the PMO was undermining their negotiating position.
And yet, when asked about the note, Air Marshal Sinha focused only on the sovereign guarantee issue, for which he had his explanation.
He had nothing to say about the other issue specifically flagged in the note – the decision to accept arbitration of disputes outside India – which was a key concern for the Defence and Law Ministries (see for example this article in the Caravan).
That Sinha seemed to think the note was only about sovereign guarantees is interesting. He was very articulate on how sovereign guarantees weren’t the norm, and that India had never had a government-to-government agreement with a sovereign guarantee in it. But a similar argument is tougher when it comes to the arbitration issue, especially since all India was getting was a letter of comfort. It will be important to ask these follow-up questions to the Air Marshal and others who have defended the PMO’s actions, and see what responses we get.

I'd go for the cliche one: Knowledge is power; for all great things and works are preceded by being more cognizant.
Knowledge, cause if you have the knowledge, you can get power as well.
knowledge because knowledge is important to all people without knowledge is nothing..
interesting answers. Knowledge isn't necessarily power though. Someone might have knowledge, having power depends on other things.
For myself though, I would choose knowledge. As for people with power, having knowledge would make twice an impact.
Power!!! The power of knowledge!
Knowledge doesnt mean that much if you cant back it up. Power please!
Haha, nice one Tala, although an extreme case but a good one. @gamerguy, But isn't knowledge the ultimate back up?
Knowledge can give you power!

Next up, the Synchronized Infant Swaying event! Watch the spectacle of babies (including some unfortunate ones joined at the head) swing to and fro. These babies are each outfitted with diapers and each pamper proudly holds poopy from the named state. Watch it, New Jersey's got twice the load!
Sometimes, an LMB ad comes along that gives you nightmares because it speaks the truth too well. This one is one of them.
Are monkeys good or evil? We may never know, but this LMB ad deigns to answer the question. The sedate banana-eating monkey transforms into a shrieking, red-bodied monster that tears its own hair with a simple mouseover.
Admit it. This is what you were looking for when you searched for LowerMyBills ads and ended up here. This is their finest and there is no way this ad can be bested.
Only the most twisted mind in ad-biz could have thought up the idea of a cookie man killing himself slowly by repeatedly dipping in a test-tube of milk. This is right up there in the hall of fame of horrors, next to shipwrecked people gnawing their arms off and spiders crawling out of your mouth.

A 3.2-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of San Francisco Tuesday morning, according to the USGS.
A 3.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of San Francisco Tuesday morning, according to the United States Geological Survey.
Officials originally reported that the shaking measured up to a magnitude 3.2 quake.
The quake hit at 6:36 a.m. nearly seven miles south-southwest of Tamalpais-Homestead Valley, according to the USGS.
Some people took to social media to report they felt shaking in places such as San Francisco and Pacifica. One person noted that the earthquake was "short and sweet" while someone else reported feeling a jolt before a couple seconds of rattling.
The San Francisco Fire Department said they did not receive any calls about the earthquake immediately after it struck.

Quattro-G3D OEM board is based on Javad's TRIUMPH Technology implemented in their TRIUMPH Chip. The Quattro-G3D board includes the true Galileo option.
Quattro-G3D is a 100x120 mm board that accepts inputs from up to four antennas. It is equivalent of four receivers which operate synchronously with a common oscillator and central processor to coordinate all communications and other activities. One of the receivers (the main) tracks 14 each of GPS L1/L2, GLONASS L1/L2 and Galileo E1. This receiver can perform long baseline RTK in conjunction with a base. The other three receivers each track 14 each of GPS L1/L2, and Quattro-G3D Galileo E1 and along with the main one can provide attitude (orientation) solutions.
Dual frequency GPS alone can provide very fast and reliable orientation solutions due to very short antenna separations (about one meter) and the fact that typical applications are in open fields. The main GPS+GLONASS L1/L2 unit can help in providing long baseline RTK solution.
The on-board power supply on Quattro-G3D OEM board accepts any voltage from +6 to +40 volts and delivers clean filtered voltage where needed. This eliminates the risk of power contamination (ripples) that can be created when clean power is generated elsewhere and delivered to the board via cables. Quattro-G3D board also includes drivers for four LEDs, ON/OFF and function button controllers. In addition, the board comes with large amount of flash for data storage.
The CAN interface in Quattro-G3D board is provided complete with all associated hardware and firmware, not just the CAN bus. The same is true with all the serial RS232/RS422 ports in our board. Simply stated, additional functions are not needed to incorporate any of our Quattro-G3D OEM board in most applications.
In addition to timing strobes and event markers, the Quattro-G3D OEM board includes the option of complete IRIG timing system.
Tracking Features: Total 216 channels: all-in-view, GPS L1/L2/L2C, Galileo E1, GLONASS L1/L2, SBAS, Advanced Multipath Reduction, Fast acquisition channels, High accuracy velocity measurement, Almost unlimited altitude (for authorized users).
Data Features: Up to 100 Hz update rate for real time position and raw data (code and carrier), 10 cm code phase and 1 mm carrier phase precision, Hardware Viterbi decoder, RTCM SC104 versions 2.x and 3.x Input/Output, NMEA 0183 versions 2.x and 3.0 Output, Code Differential Rover, Code Differential Base, Geoid and Magnetic Variation models, RAIM, Different DATUMs support, Output of grid coordinates.
Data Storage: Up to 2048MB of onboard non-removable memory for data storage.

All the fun of cookie dough without the worry of raw eggs!
This recipe was rated one of Taste of Home magazine's Top 100! It sounded like a fun little bite, so I had to try it gluten free. A quick taste of a chocolate chip cookies without the wait of baking!
In a large bowl, combine mix and butter until dough looks like coarse meal. Add vanilla and milk, and stir til well combined. Stir in walnuts. Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper on a cookie sheet and place in freezer for an hour. Melt chocolate coating, and using a bamboo skewer, dip frozen truffles into chocolate. Place back on waxed paper, and allow to cool and set. My batch made over 3 dozen.
They are indeed a fun little bite. Very rich, so your taste for chocolate chip cookies will be satisfied pretty quickly. If you prefer, you could also try using white chocolate or milk chocolate - they'd still be excellent. And remember, you can always use chocolate chips if that's what you have on hand.
Another joyful and delightful idea to take along to a party. Other guests will surely be surprised when they sink their teeth in - enjoy!

This updated Excel-to-web converter can hide entire worksheets when you create web surveys from Excel prototypes to disable irrelevant sections of the survey. Show rows in web calculators only when they are required for the calculation.
January 30, 2014 — SpreadsheetConverter is an add-on to Microsoft Excel that lets you convert spreadsheets to live web pages. The new version 7.4 recently became available at SpreadsheetConverter.com.
A unique feature of the new version is a user interface widget that can hide designated rows in the source spreadsheet, depending on conditions defined by the spreadsheet developer. This makes it possible to simplify a form or calculator by making sections of the calculator appear only if they are relevant to the current user. As an example, different address fields may be shown for domestic and international users.
“Excel is a marvelous tool to create electronic forms and web calculators, but it lacks some sophistication that we try to make up for with our unique set of widgets. Showing only relevant sections of a web form makes it much easier for end users”, says Anna Winter, sales manager for SpreadsheetConverter.
During the conversion to web format, the developer can choose to have different worksheets appear as separate tabs, as slide-in panels or in a step-by-step “wizard” fashion. In this situation, the new widget also has the ability to hide entire worksheets, for larger unwanted sections of a form or calculator. Winter describes this as the “in-depth trigger”.
“In a survey, you often have topic areas that only become relevant if someone has children, owns a certain product or has a particular interest. Hiding the irrelevant sections of a survey gives you a higher response rate and higher quality responses”, she says.
The ability to hide rows or worksheets can be nested infinitely. As the user enters data into previously hidden cells that just became visible, additional rows or worksheets may be unlocked.

You'll be £12.99 closer to your next £10.00 credit when you purchase Saladin. What's this?
The extraordinary character and career of Saladin are the keys to understanding the Battle of Hattin, the fall of Jerusalem and the failure of the Third Crusade. He united warring Muslim lands, reconquered the bulk of Crusader states and faced the Richard the Lion Heart, king of England, in one of the most famous confrontations in medieval warfare. Geoffrey Hindley's sympathetic and highly readable study of the life and times of this remarkable, many-sided man, who dominated the Middle East in his day, gives a fascinating insight into his achievements and into the Muslim world of his contemporaries.
Geoffrey Hindley is a distinguished medieval historian who has written widely on many aspects of the period. He has made a special study of medieval warfare and of sieges in particular. His previous books include Castles of Europe, Medieval Warfare, England in the Age of Caxton, Under Siege, Tourists, Travellers and Pilgrims, The Book of Magna Carta and The Crusades. His most recent publications are is A Brief History of the Anglo-Saxons and Medieval Siege and Siegecraft.
Although the book is clearly favourable to Saladin, Hindley has done an excellent job in explaining the politics of the Middle East in the late 12th Century. The author has gocused his study on the rise of Saladin as a great leader, and he has given less weight to those details and events on which more western minded authors tend to focus. Despite the fact that it has made his book too one-sided, his work is highly recommended to those interested in the Muslim side of the story, especially if they are familiar with more conventional western narratives about the Crusades, a knowledge of which is necessary to put Hindley's work into perspective.
If asked to name a Muslim military hero I suggest that the readers of this magazine would usually plump for Saladin. Even at the time when he was the Crusaders' feared and implacable enemy, he was celebrated in Western histories and literature as a man of high morality and great skill. Bizarrely, he even appeared in one popular Old French text - The Ordering of Chivalry as the noble individual best suited to instruct a Christian knight in a proper behaviour! He is best known for opposing the Third Crusade and Richard the Lionheart's attempt to recapture Jerusalem in 1191/92; but he actually spent more of his life fighting muslims.
It was his ability to create an empire stretching from Egypt to Iran (he was a Kurd), which enabled him to conquer the Kingdom of Jerusalem after his great victory at Hattin in 1187, and hold it against all comers. The author provides a lively and readable account, not bogged down with footnotes, but fully revised from its original 1976 text and of a high scholarly standard. This book will serve both the general reader and a student of Crusader Studies (which many universities now provide) equally well. My only disagreement is with his interpretation of the garrison of Acre after its fall, due to Saladin's procrastination in negotiation. He should have ransomed them, and lost the battle of Arsuf as a result, because his soldiers had lost faith in him; but then, he won the war.
Saladin is best know in the west for his conquest of Jerusalem and his clash with Richard the Lionheart, but his life and career was much more complex than that. Saladin was something of an outsider - a Kurd operating within the largely Turkish leadership of Syria, but he became the most powerful figure in the Islamic world and the ruler of a sizable empire held together almost entirely by his own abilities.
Hindley's biography begins with Saladin's moment of glory, the fall or liberation of Jerusalem in 1187, before moving back to look at the world that Saladin was born into, the rise of his family and his own early career. He then moves on to examining Saladin's rise to power, first as Vizir of Egypt and then as a major ruler in his own right. This was the section of the book that I found most valuable, presenting us with an inside view of a world that is so often seen from the other side, simply as the enemy of crusaders.
The climactic clash between Saladin and the Crusaders is dealt with in some detail. The campaign that saw Saladin win his most famous victory, at Hattin, effectively destroying the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the campaign against Richard the Lionheart, are both dealt with in some some detail, but so are the campaigns that filled the years between the fall of Jerusalem and the arrival of Richard.
This is a valuable biography of one of the most attractive figures in Medieval history, a rare example of a leader who was respected on both sides of the religious divide in the Holy Land, and one whose reputation has deservedly survived intact across the intervening centuries.

David Hess and his Horkology Foundation of Baltimore brought back the immense PLATYPUS (Personal Long-range All-Terrain Yacht Proven Un-Safe) sporting a new larger platypus sculpture. For 2009, Pokey is more cartoonish and well-fed, and bears a stylish boater hat. They were the hands-down winner of the People’s Choice award, as determined by an extensive survey of the crowd conducted by Kinetic chicken volunteers.
In the splashing water entry, note the position of the lead passenger’s feet.
With eight pilots pedaling, one barnacle driving, and room for a second redundant barnacle up through the rooftop hatch, PLATYPUS retains the largest crew of any entry in Baltimore Kinetic history.
The singing, dancing, marching pit crew sported furry hats, and tutus made from plastic trash bags.
