9 Indispensable Principles of Good Parenting (Part 2) – Léonce B. Crump Jr.
Here is part 2 of my 9 indispensable parenting principles. If you missed it, you can find part 1 here.
6. A healthy Fear is good – The scriptures say that “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” (Proverbs 9:10) What does this mean exactly, particularly if we believe that God, through His love, woo’s us into submission and through Jesus’ sacrifice, secures our salvation? It means that we should have a healthy fear or reverence for God, His place, and most assuredly His power. We should know that God could obliterate us with a thought, and therefore understand our place in created order with respect to His place as Creator, but that knowledge is filtered through an understanding of His nature and character, which reveal that He would never capriciously do so. It is a reverence that produces a healthy tremble at the thought of being on the wrong side of His eternal power. Likewise, our children should have an understanding of their place in our homes. They do not exert authority in them, they are under our authority. They will not lord over us, or make demands of our time or resources. They will joyfully submit to our authority, and have a healthy tremble at the thought of being on the wrong side of our ability to execute justice and discipline in their lives. It is good, necessary, and right that they have a healthy, reverent-fear, filtered through our character and commitment to love them, care for them, sacrifice for them, and extend grace to them.
7. Repentance must be modeled – The most wonderful moment I’ve experienced with my girls over the years is when, after I spanked Eva Grace, she said to me “I forgive you daddy,” through a sweet trembly voice and intermittent tears. I asked her, “what are you forgiving me for, sweetie?” And she responded, “fowah (for) spanking me…” What a moment! Of course I explained to her that daddy had not sinned against her by spanking her, because I was just in my discipline and she had endangered herself by her actions. I grabbed her, kissed her, and held her tight. I told her I loved her, and why she had to be disciplined, and then we went about our day. Here’s what’s cool though, the reason she said what she said is because a few years ago I realised that part of my struggle with my parents was that they’d never really repented to me as a child for the ways that they did in fact sin against me. It diminished the Christian practice of repentance and forgiveness for me, and it caused a relational rift as I got older (we good now!). In light of this I began actively repenting to my children, my youngest was two when I began doing this. I repented for harshness in my tone. I repented for displays of unwarranted anger. I repented for not keeping promises and or being consistent. I often get down on one knee, at their level, and beg their forgiveness. It is really humbling and really beautiful. They forgive me, kiss my face, and we heal from moments of sin together. Your children will only learn repentance if you create a culture of repentance in your home. It must start with you, the parent, repenting to them for the ways you sin against them.
8. Spanking has it’s place – Or as I was taught in my AA upbringing, a “whooping!” I am believer in giving a whooping, but in my opinion there are only two necessary categories for this: 1. Personal endangerment 2. Willful disobedience. As stated earlier, there are situations in which your child may endanger their lives. It may require you to raise your voice to prohibit it. It may require a good spanking to ensure they understand it can never happen again, for their sake and safety. Willful disobedience on the other hand is their outright defying and challenging your authority, and role in the home. They are looking for the boundary. You have to remind them where it is. Of course people from every field are split on the question of spanking, so you’ll have to decide for yourself, but I do believe it is a necessary tool. If you are going to spank, never use your hand, a wooden spoon will suffice. Never spank in anger, it is not an outlet to assuage your feeling of not having your children under control. And a spanking is always followed by affection. Teach them to run to you after discipline, instead of withdrawing into themselves. Show them that it was a loving act, not an angry or controlling one.
9. You must display unity – If your children begin to sense that they can, in any way, play you and your spouse against each other (in a two parent home or even a shared custody situation), then the fabric of good parenting unravels quickly. Your children must understand that mommy and daddy are a united front. Unless abuse is obvious or imminent (a different and desperate situation), then even if you all disagree about the discipline, decision, or outcome of a parenting moment(s) you mustn’t do it in front of the children. You disagree behind closed doors, you exit the room as one unit. We expect nothing less from our leadership teams, or coworker relationships, why would we expect less in the most important stewardship situation we have under our care.
If you are a single parent, you are my hero. Know that this principle can still apply to those in your trusted relational circle or community who have any measure of influence or oversight in your child’s life.
These are MY 9 indispensable principles of good parenting. What would you add? What would you challenge? Comments are open to discuss!
I’ve really enjoyed both of these posts and have them saved to return to later in life, should I become a parent. There’s a lot of tremendous wisdom here, and I thank you for sharing your insight and experience.
The only concern I have is with the 8th principle: Spanking has it’s place. I’m not going to voice my opinion one way or the other on spanking, partly because it’s not fully formed, partly because that’s a larger discussion in and of itself- one that not even researchers have come to agreement on, and partly because I believe it’s irrelevant to my point here. My concern is it being included in a list of “indispensable” principles. Indispensable principles are, by definition, completely necessary fundamental truths. I would say that the other 8 principles you list clearly fall under that definition, but I do not see how spanking would as well.
I know great parents who spank. I know great parents who don’t spank. I’ve read strong arguments that corporal punishment can be effective if used appropriately. I’ve read strong arguments that there’s never a place for corporal punishment. There’s a range of opinions here, and I love seeing honest and humble discussion about this topic. However, I don’t believe that spanking is, in and of itself, a “completely necessary fundamental truth” like the others are. To suggest it seems to imply that parents who choose to never spank are making a fundamentally incorrect decision. I’m OK implying that with regards to your other 8 principles; I’m not comfortable implying that with spanking.
Thank you again for your post, and I look forward to you continuing to share your wisdom here.
you will save his soul from Sheol.” – Proverbs 23:12-14.
It’s worth considering not only from a psychological or sociological vantage point, but from a scriptural one. What do you think?
You’re absolutely right, this must be considered with Scripture as well. I’m familiar with those passages, but I’ve never studied their content or context more in depth. I’m still hesitant to consider it indispensable, but it’s something I’ll continue to explore, particularly with those scriptures in mind. Thanks for your reply!

We are living in the Century of the Woman. To have a future worth living a fundamental cultural shift needs to take place globally. Simply said, it is time for we men to step aside, and very intentionally put women into positions of leadership. Why? Because women embody those virtues and attributes that God seeks to build us a future worth living. For the sake of our survival, it is time for the women to lead and the men to follow. With men in power, we will relive the past. With women in power, the future will be better for everyone.
Female Led Relationships are the tell-tale, first buds of spring. The precursor of things to come. The far distant sound of marching feet. Fascinating and strange it is to watch how God is orchestrating this subtle tectonic shift in social mores and organization. Not like we might think with trumpeting headlines, but rather obtuse and in the quiet shadows. Building first upon the primal urgings of raw sexual energy, and then upward into the emotional streams of established relationships, like She was coming in the backdoor as an unannounced family friend. Why invade, when over a hundred years, you can infiltrate?
What is needed are plants, saboteurs, locals who already know the terrain and speak the language, but are completely sold out to another loyalty, another Motherland, a higher calling. Converts right next door. In the world, but not of the world. Slowly eroding the old order, exhaling the fresh air of a new order. These, likewise, are not the ones you might expect. They are dominant women, who don’t seem dominant, and passive men, who are hardly passive in any outward way. But they are steel minded, un-relentless, dedicated pioneers. Unflinching, because they carry that unbeatable conviction that they cannot lose.
We share our foxholes, our food, and our fight. Above all, we watch one another’s backs.
This is an extremely uneducated opinion that stems from sexual fantasies and ignorance of history, sociology and other humans sciences.
This is why blue-balled men’s opinions are often irrelevant on this kind of topic.
Let the women talk if your brain can’t function properly anymore.
Being married for 12 years with my bossy indian Lady I can confirm: Yes, indeed, she has a tight reign over me but it was the best for both our life! She rules and I have to obey and serve her willingly. I know my daily duties, performing the menial tasks, and in the evening I take my usual place at her feet for giving a good foot rub or a fully pedicure. Naturally I also have to kiss her feet for respect when she commands – and by the way – every woman deserves this nice gesture I think. Happy wife – happy life!

After federal officials announced hackers working for Russia gained access to the control rooms of US electric utilities, ISO New England said the company has a myriad of ways to safeguard the region's power grid against security threats.
The company has redundant facilities and continues to change and upgrade security measures as cyber threats evolve, said Marcia Blomberg, senior media relations specialist for ISO New England.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Russian hackers working for a state-sponsored group broke into networks belonging to third-party vendors that had relationships with power companies. The infiltration had gone so far that hackers could have "thrown switches" to disrupt power, the Department of Homeland Security said in the Wall Street Journal.
Homeland Security did not identify the victims but said there were hundreds. Some may not know their security was compromised, the Wall Street Journal reported.
ISO New England has a policy against releasing information about any cyber threats or cyber attacks on the power grid to avoid compromising any existing security, Blomberg said.
ISO New England also does not release specifics of cyber security measures to protect those safeguards from hackers, she said.
The grid operator, in its Operational Fuel Security Analysis, modeled 23 scenarios, ranging from a worst-case scenario to the best.
But she said the non-profit, independent corporation that operates the region's six-state power grid uses state-of-the-art security measures and is continually updating them.
"Cyber security is a fundamental responsibility taken very seriously by ISO New England and the rest of the industry and the ISO is committed to keeping all our systems safer and secure," she said.
The system conditions are monitored continuously and information is shared as needed with regulatory and industry bodies, she said.
"We are continually working to improve our security as cyber security threats evolve," she said.

National Youth Choir of Australia sing Lyre Bird Motet, not more than 50 miles from the Aussie scene that inspired it!
The Lyre Bird Motet has been performed by the astonishing BBC Singers (friends of mine- all of them!), many times. Technically it’s one of the easiest pieces of mine written for professional chamber choir (in this case 24 voices satb). At least one European Choir has had trouble realising this piece and yet here we see and hear a group of young singers- all under the age of 21 singing at the gateway of a professional career. I wasn’t able to be in Melbourne for the rehearsals or the concert, but I’m told they took to it like a proverbial duck to water or should that be a Lyre Bird to a Victorian forest display-mound!!!?
I’ve always wondered if DH Lawrence’s words-of-warning in his poem ‘Snake’ (written in Australia by the way)- ‘and ah, those voices of our accursed education’ hold sway for our development from children to adults. Is it really possible that young and vibrant vocal stunners like these might become blighted or restricted by experience? It might possibly have been true in the 1920s when Lawrence was writing those words, but I’m pretty confident that a performance like this gives notice that things have changed. By the way, I heard the Lyre Birds that feature at the end of the motet (in the voices of 3 sopranos) less than 80 miles from this performance in Melbourne, namely the King Valley in Victoria Australia!

When using "tstats count", how to display zero results if there are no counts to display?
I need to use tstats vs stats for performance reasons. I would like tstats count to show 0 if there are no counts to display.
But if the count is zero, it doesn't return that row. How do I get this to display 0 count for that hour?
Did not work. Still getting empty rows for where count is zero.
That worked. If you have time I would greatly appreciate the explanation of your query. Thank you so much.
timechart by default (unless you specify fixedrange=f) creates a row for each time bucket from the beginning of the search period until the end of the search period. So, the timechart creates all the necessary rows, and then fillnull puts a 0 in all empty row.
Thanks for the response. Your solution works if there is at least one row that returned some count but if all the rows had zero count then I get "No results found.". Is there a solution to handle this case as well? Thanks a lot.
Yes, you can use append to include a dummy value that gets filtered out if there is real data.
How to search the count of both fail and total numbers from a data model?
How do I get a large count of events over a period of time?
Why do I get a different result from tstats when using the time range picker vs using where _time > value?
How to edit my search to show a row for each hour in my results, even if the count is zero or null?

Bioroids and Bombots: Unrest in the 60 States.
Unrest in the 60 States.
In Transhuman Space Fifth Wave (TS:FW p.61) we are told that since 2095 numerous radical factions have been active in America. Many are the more aggressive advocates of the “People’s Power” pro-cyberdemocratic reform movement. Others champion related or different causes. The American establishment has been forced to fight a low-level counterinsurgency campaign in several of the country’s urban zones. The Posse Comitatus Act greatly restricts the use of the Military for Internal Security operations within US borders. Whilst legally the President can deploy the US Army on American soil, politically such an action would be highly undesirable. Consequently counterinsurgency (COIN) operations on US soil are actually handled by a variety of state and federal organisations or private contractors.
Much of this burden has fallen on the shoulders of the FBI, combat operations being conducted by FBI SWAT and sometimes HRT. The manpower and combat power of FBI SWAT has consequently been increased considerably. FBI SWAT are also now known as FedSWAT and “ESWAT”, the latter originating from certain FBI SWAT units being designated “Enhanced FBI SWAT”. These are supplemented by the ERT, SRT or SWAT units of various state agencies or organizations such as the Department of Justice or Department of Homeland Security.
The National Guard is also used for domestic COIN operations, being either under state or federal control. The National Guard of 2100 has undergone a number of changes. Its responsibility as a reserve for overseas deployment has been rendered obsolete by US army stockpiles of cybershells and infomorph shadows. The National Guard does administer the ARTs – Army (or Airforce) Reserve Technicians – a pool of specialists that can be used to support regular forces. By 2100 a proportion of ART members are AIs. For several decades now the majority of the National Guard have been structured for domestic deployment, being equipped and trained for disaster response and civil disorder duties. The insurgency has resulted in a number of units being restructured for low intensity conflict (LIC) operations in the USA.
Whereas a significant proportion of the US Army is now cybershells the National Guard retains a much greater proportion of human or parahuman personnel and has consequently been nicknamed “the Meat Guard”. Most of humans and parahumans are attracted to the guard by the various medical and educational benefits service includes. Many guardsmen are from the lower strata of American society, attempting to improve their lot. Currently service in the National Guard is where one is most likely to see active combat and this is appealing to some recruits and career soldiers. The limited availability of staff and command positions in the regular army results in a number of army officers opting for service in the National Guard. Regrettably, some of the less capable or politically unpopular army officers are dealt with by transferring them into the Guard too. Infomorphs also serve in the National Guard and may find themselves operating a wide variety of cybershells from earthmovers to riot-breakers.
State Defence Forces (aka “State Guard”) are very similar in structure to the National Guard but are under state control. Only a third of US states have a State Defence Force and the strength and quality varies considerably. The intended role of the State Defence Forces means that many units are configured as medical, civil affairs or military police. The insurgency has resulted in a greater investment in the infantry and MP units and the retasking of some other units for an LIC role. The involvement of State Guard units varies with the state and the incumbent power. For example, in California the insurgency is active in many Hispanic neighbourhoods and the State Governor is reluctant to risk antagonising the majority voter block. The California State Guard has therefore not been committed.
Interestingly in some states National Guard and State Guard are employed to assist in the security of some corporations. When the economic welfare of the state is closely linked to the health of one or two corporations so it is often seen as prudent to commit some state assets to insure this. This arrangement also allows for a degree of oversight of corporation activity in the state.
A number of other state organisations are active combatants. The Texas Rangers have become increasingly militarized in both equipment and operations. The Arizona Rangers, New Mexico Rangers and New Mexico Mounted Patrol are following a similar direction.
Various private contractors are also employed against the insurgency, particularly where state forces are insufficient. Some of these contractors are undoubtedly “fronts” to allow Special Forces and other US Army assets to be used in the conflict. Other contractors are suspected of owing their true loyalty to certain corporations rather than the US Government.

Jonathan Sarfati, a particularly silly creationist, is quite thrilled — he's crowing about how he has caught Richard Dawkins in a fundamental error. The eye did not evolve, says Sarfati, because it is perfectly designed for its function, and Dawkins' suggestion that there might be something imperfect about it is wrong, wrong, wrong. He quotes Dawkins on the eye.
But I haven't mentioned the most glaring example of imperfection in the optics. The retina is back to front.
Imagine a latter-day Helmholtz presented by an engineer with a digital camera, with its screen of tiny photocells, set up to capture images projected directly on to the surface of the screen. That makes good sense, and obviously each photocell has a wire connecting it to a computing device of some kind where images are collated. Makes sense again. Helmholtz wouldn't send it back.
What Dawkins wrote is quite correct, and nowhere in his refutation does Sarfati show that he is wrong. Instead, Sarfati bumbles about to argue against an argument that no biologist makes, that the eye is a poor instrument for detecting patterns of light. The argument is never that eyes do their job poorly; it's that they do their job well, by a peculiar pattern of kludgy patches to increase functionality that bear all the hallmarks of a long accumulation of refinements. Sarfati is actually supporting the evolutionary story by summarizing a long collection of compromises and odd fixes to improve the functionality of the eye.
There's a fundamental question here: why does the vertebrate eye have its receptors facing backwards in the first place? It is not the best arrangement optically; Sarfati is stretching the facts to claim that God designed it that way because it was superior. It ain't. The reason lies in the way our eye is formed, as an outpocketing of the cortex of the brain. It retains the layered structure of the cortex, even; it's the way it is because of how it was assembled, not because its origins are rooted in optical optimality. You might argue that it's based on a developmental optimum, that this was the easiest, simplest way to turn a light-sensitive patch into a cup-shaped retina.
Evolution has subsequently shaped this patch of tissue for better acuity and sensitivity in certain lineages. That, as I said, is a product of compromises, not pre-planned design. Sarfati brings up a series of odd tweaks that make my case for me.
The vertebrate photoreceptors are nourished and protected by an opaque layer called the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). Obviously, you couldn't put the RPE in front of the visual receptors, so the retina had to be reversed to allow it to work. This is a beautiful example of compromise: physiology is improved at the expense of optical clarity. This is exactly what the biologists have been saying! Vertebrates have made a trade-off of better nutrient supplies to the retina for a slight loss of optical clarity.
Sarfati makes the completely nonsensical claim that the presence of blood vessels, cells, etc. in the light path do not compromise vision at all because resolution is limited by diffraction at the pupil, so "improvements of the retina would make no difference to the eye's performance". This is clearly not true. The fovea of the vertebrate eye represents an optimization of a small spot on the retina for better optical properties vs. poorer circulation: blood vessels are excluded from the fovea, which also has a greater density of photoreceptors. Obviously, improvements to the retina do make a difference.
It's also not a condition that is universal in all vertebrates. Most birds, for instance, do not have a vascularized retina — there is no snaky pattern of blood vessels wending their way across the photoreceptors. Birds do have greater acuity than we do, as well. What birds have instead is a strange structure inside their eye called the pecten oculi, which looks kind of like an old steam radiator dangling into the vitreous humor, which seems to be a metabolic specialization to secrete oxygen and nutrients into the vitreous to supply by diffusion the retina.
In fact, cephalopods don't see as well as humans, e.g. no colour vision, and the octopus eye structure is totally different and much simpler. It's more like 'a compound eye with a single lens'.
First, there's a stereotype he's playing to: he's trying to set up a hierarchy of superior vision, and he wants our god-designed eyes at the top, so he tells us that most cephalopods have poorer vision than we do. He doesn't bother to mention that humans don't have particularly good vision ourselves; birds have better eyes. So, is God avian?
That business about the cephalopod being like a compound eye is BS; if it's got a single lens, it isn't a compound eye, now is it? It's also again pandering to a bias that our eyes must be better than mere compound eyes, since bugs and other lowly vermin have those. Cephalopods have rhabdomeric eyes, meaning that their photoreceptors have a particular structure and use a particular set of biomolecules in signal transduction, but that does not in any way imply that they are inferior. In fact, they have some superior properties: the cephalopod retina is tightly organized and patterned, with individual rhabdomeres ganged together into units called rhabdomes that work together to process light. Their ordered structure means that cephalopods can detect the polarity of light, something we can't do at all. This is a different kind of complexity, not a lesser one. They can't see color, which is true, but we can't sense the plane of polarity of light in our environment.
I must also note that the functions of acting as a light guide (more below) and using pigment to shield photoreceptors are also present in the cephalopod eye…only by shifting pigments in supporting cells that surround the rhabdome, rather than in a solid RPE. Same functions, different solutions, the cephalopod has merely stumbled across a solution that does not simultaneously impede the passage of light.
Color vision, by the way, is a red herring here. Color is another compromise that has nothing to do with the optical properties of the arrangement of the retina, but is instead a consequence of biochemical properties of the photoreceptors and deeper processing in the brain. If anything, color vision reduces resolution (because individual photoreceptors are tuned to different wavelengths) and always reduces sensitivity (you don't use color receptors at night, you may have noticed, relying instead on rods that are far less specific about wavelength). But if he insists, many teleosts have a greater diversity of photopigments and can see colors we can't even imagine…so humans are once again also-rans in the color vision department.
Sarfati is much taken with the discovery that some of the glial cells of the eye, the Müller cells, act as light guides to help pipe light through the tangle of retinal processing cells direct to the photoreceptors. This is a wonderful innovation, and it is entirely true that in principle this could improve the sensitivity of the photoreceptors. But again, this would not perturb any biologist at all — this is what we expect from evolution, the addition of new features to overcome shortcomings of original organization. If we had a camera that clumsily had the non-optical parts interposed between the lens and the light sensor, we might be impressed with the blind, clumsy intricacy of a solution that involved using an array of fiber optics to shunt light around the opaque junk, but it wouldn't suggest that the original design was particularly good. It would indicate short-term, problem-by-problem debugging rather than clean long-term planning.
Sarfati cannot comprehend why the blind spot would be a sign of poor design, either. He repeats himself: why, it's because the eye needs a blood supply. Yes, it does, and the solution implemented in our eyes is one that compromises resolution. I will again point out that the cephalopod retina also needs a blood supply, and they have a much more elegant solution; the avian eye also needs a blood supply, but is not invested with blood vessels. He gets very circular here. The argument is not that the vertebrate eye lacks a solution to this problem, but that there are many different ways to solve the problem of organizing the retina with its multiple demands, and that the vertebrate eye was clearly not made by assembling the very best solutions.
Sarfati really needs to crawl out of his little sealed box of creationist dogma and discover what scientists actually say about these matters, and not impose his bizarre creationist interpretations on the words of people like Dawkins and Miller. What any comparative biologist can see by looking at eyes across multiple taxa is that they all work well enough for their particular functions, but they all also have clear signs of assembly by a historical process, like evolution and quite unlike creation, and that there is also evidence of shortcomings that have acquired workarounds, some of which are wonderfully and surprisingly useful. What we don't see are signs that the best solutions from each clade have been extracted and placed together in one creature at the pinnacle of creation. And in particular — and this has to be particularly grating to the Genesis-worshipping creationists of Sarfati's ilk, since he studiously avoids the issue — Homo sapiens is not standing alone at that pinnacle of visual excellence. We're kinda straggling partway down the peak, trying to compensate for some relics of our ancestry, like the fact that we're descended from nocturnal mammals that let the refinement of their vision slide for a hundred million years or thereabouts, while the birds kept on optimizing for daylight acuity and sensitivity.

Trump has openly expressed frustration with Sessions for his recusal from the Trump-Russia probe, a move that Rep. Gowdy, R-S.C., and others, said is appropriate.
Conservatives like Rush Limbaugh have also wondered about the open criticism of Sessions.
A. Who’s gonna take it?
B. How the hell are they gonna get confirmed, unless they nominate a Democrat?
It just doesn’t make sense. So because it doesn’t make sense in the way we are seeing it, it has to make sense in some other way, because none of these people are stupid. I hear all this talk, “You know, Trump is meeting with his staff. His staff is urging him to stop this.” Really? You really want us to believe that Trump’s having meetings with the staff and the staff’s saying, “Mr. President, we really think you ought to dial this down,” as though Trump is unaware of the trouble he’s causing?
Meanwhile, it appears that Sessions has no plans to step down at this point.
A source familiar with the conversation tells Fox News that Sessions’ chief of staff, Jody Hunt, recently told White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus that the attorney general had no intention of resigning.
Trump said Tuesday that Sessions has not been tougher on leaks from the intelligence community.

fuk.co.uk | Win £200 of high quality English handmade leather goods from Barnes and Moore Leatherworks.
Win £200 of high quality English handmade leather goods from Barnes and Moore Leatherworks.
Good quality leathergoods can be hard to find. Don't get us wrong, there are plenty of offerings out there, but few offer a combination of high quality leathers coupled with true craftsmanship.
Barnes and Moore Leatherworks aim is to fill that void, and they offer just that.
The founders of the company observed that there was an opening in the market for genuinely high quality leather goods that used top grade materials, rather than the cheaper alternatives that were offered by some, in favour of increased profits.
"We wanted to make customers aware of what leathers were being used to create their goods, and stand by our beliefs that if someone is paying a decent price for an item, they should expect it to be made with quality materials, and to a high standard.
We set out sourcing, what we consider to be, some of the best leathers available, from some of the finest heritage tanneries in the world, and then went through the same process for the rest of our materials. When we couldn't find what we wanted, we decided to have it made. Our Garrison belt buckle, along with other items of our hardware are manufactured by hand just for us. When we say we're 'Passionate about detail' we mean it.
We like to honour tradition, so each piece is made by hand, in England, to a standard that makes us proud. If we're not proud of it, we don't sell it!
Take a look at what we do at www.barnesandmoore.co.uk. If you like what you see, please give us a shout and let us know on social media: FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram."

Oldham is a good place to think about the future of Labour. But not for the reasons that you’d think. The important thing here is after all the punditry, there was no Corbyn effect in Oldham. Nothing particularly positive; nothing particularly negative.
So why is Oldham interesting? Because this town, that has long since ceased to matter to Britain economically, is important to our understanding of Labour because it is one of the sites of Britain’s last great jobs disaster. Oldham was once Britain’s Shenzhen: at its zenith the town spun more cotton than France and Germany combined—making it the most productive cotton town in the world.
The industrial disaster in Labour’s north is something that haunts the Corbynites: what could have been done to save the factories? Could the mines have been kept open? What could Labour have done to keep these communities going? It always informs their sense of the future. The new Labour leadership is acutely worried that technological change could once again put millions of low paid Britons out of work and status.
After Oldham, Corbyn looks here to stay. This is why, however silly it sounds, the recent speech by Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell promising “Socialism with an iPad” is a must listen if you want to understand—and not just argue—about the Corbynite agenda. So what did McDonnell say?
Bank of England research, he warned in this 20th November speech at a shiny new Imperial College incubator, says automation risks 15m British jobs and those in the front-line were the low-paid. Over the Atlantic, the Bank of America has warned that 45 per cent of all manufacturing tasks were facing automation by 2025. “For those who own the robots, it will of course be a different story,” said McDonnell, lamenting what he had seen on a recent trip to Teesside. This is where the speech trailed off as he wishes for “a new economy where technology liberates rather than traps.” Labour’s proposals of state-private investment partnerships, however worthy, seemed nowhere near enough to answer this historic shift in employment.
So what should McDonnell download onto his iPad to turn this fear into a proactive agenda? The answer, I think, is warn the professionals of Wimbledon that they are as much at risk of automation as the workers of Teesside.
Yet Labour is not thinking or engaging with the professional class. If Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are really interested in thinking through the automation revolution they must download The Future Of The Professions by Richard and Daniel Susskind, a brilliant father and son combo from Oxford University. The Susskinds—whose book is reviewed by Giles Wilkes in the new issue of Prospect—argue that what McDonnell sees happening to the low-paid is about to happen to the professions. They demonstrate that the dreaded “technological unemployment” is not only something that happens to the undereducated. Most of the tasks that lawyers, accountants, academics and doctors actually do could easily be taken over by increasingly sophisticated software. These jobs are not about to go extinct, the Susskinds argue, but in the decades ahead the routine of what they do will be automated and their numbers could shrink radically. If they are right, high street solicitors looks set to follow high-street travel agents into history. And thus, if John McDonnell gets his messaging right, they could start voting Labour.
My first reaction to this argument was shock. Impossible to imagine Britain without a fat caste of lawyers, doctors and accountants! But the Susskinds masterfully show the professions as we know them are not a permanent feature of society. Rather the current sociology of lawyers, doctors, accountants, and architects is a nineteenth century product, thrown up by the emergence of a print-based industrial society. The professions, argue the Susskinds, still operate on the basis of a largely outdated grand bargain. Individuals lack specialist knowledge, and because society needs it so desperately, it is willing to allow—and to a certain extent venerate—a caste of the self-regulating knowledgeable. In the old print-based industrial society, the grand bargain was summed up in these simple face-to-face encounters, where the expert, who has studied the textbooks, sells his time to those who have not.
Today, the grand bargain is falling apart. The Susskinds give several examples. Accountants are already in danger: “in 2014,” they write, “the US tax authorities received electronic tax returns from almost 48m people who had used online tax preparation software, rather than a tax professional to help them.” Lawyers are imperilled: “three times as many disagreements each year among eBay traders are resolved using ‘online dispute resolution’ than there are lawsuits filed in the entire US court system,” the Susskinds claim. Regular GPs, too, are in for a cull: “there are a greater number of unique visits each month to the WebMD network, a collection of health websites, than to all doctors working in the United States.” Each of these cases are related. In each instance, specialist knowledge that was once only found in difficult to access books, with trained professionals as its gatekeepers, has gone online—undermining the old role of the expert. Reading the Susskinds’ introduction I was skeptical. By the conclusion after extensive studies and examples, I found myself convinced. Mr. Robot Q.C. and Mr. Accountant App are already here. The only thing holding them back is the right user-friendly software. What, after all, in most legal notes or tax forms is truly immune?
This is why McDonnell must download the book now to his iPad: because the decline of our old professions will reshape society and undermine the middle class. The Future Of The Professions leaves the reader worried. A society where technology has hollowed out the professions could be a more unequal one—reverting to its pre-industrial norm without a strong, powerful middle class. The new landowners could be the firms and individuals who own the intellectual property of technology.
What does a future with a drastically reduced professional class mean for social mobility and immigrant integration? It was the social lifts of the flourishing professions of the 20th century not the expanding welfare state that were the essential driver of both in modern Britain. But the Susskinds also sketch out a liberating promise. A future without the old professional caste, but where all can access the finest expertise as easily as they can now search Wikipedia. A radical blow to the essence of privilege. The best lawyer as an app for everyone.
Right now the most fascinating debate for the next election I can imagine would be John McDonnell and George Osborne duelling over the Susskinds’ implications on national TV. Because what will our politics look like after the professions? For the Labour Party this opens up a whole new agenda to fight for: not only digital-rights, but pushing for government departments such as HMRC and the City’s professional guilds to make their knowledge and expertise radically accessible, publicly monitored and owned. For the Conservative Party this poses a new challenge: throwing Black Cab drivers under the bus (or rather the Uber…) when faced with technological change is one thing. Will they really be the party of the free market when lawyers and accountants are facing their Uber moment? Could the left come to embrace the results of the free market and technology if it meant a radical opening up of legal and financial expertise? Maybe it is time for “Socialism with an iPad” after all.

Of all the rooms in the house, the bathroom is the one that most rewards your attention. You can add value to your home with a thoughtful – and far from bank busting – restoration, you can decorate it to perfectly fit your personality, and with the right appliances, accessories and products, turn it into a haven of relaxation for you and your whole family.
Today we’re putting our focus on the bathroom, so you can start to build a room that’s the heart of your home, not merely a functional closet.
If you’re decorating your bathroom, you need to think: is this for you? Is this to put a few thousand pounds on the bottom line for your house if need to sell? Or is it to make it suitable for tenants, when you rent your house out.
If it’s for when you sell or rent your house, you have a relatively clear cut job: focus on making it function, tackling damp, and ensuring adequate ventilation. It’s more important to have a plain looking shower that works properly than something ornate that’s not reliable.
On the other hand, if you’re redecorating for yourself, you can really pull the stops out, and stamp your particular style on the room. Think hard about it: this is a room you’ll really need to relax in, whether you’re bathing, shaving or merely brushing your teeth.
Whatever your needs, whether you want Edwardian bath taps to immerse yourself in classic luxury as you immerse yourself in hot water or a more modern look, emphasising natural light.
Creating the full bathroom experience of your dreams is only helped along by getting hold of the perfect array of bathroom accessories. Once you’ve got your main decorations and fittings in place you can acquire the accessories to round out the look, from soap dishes and toothbrush holders to shaving mirrors.
One thing it’s really worth investing is a luxurious set of towels: a design that matches the décor means your bath isn’t going to be interrupted by a disharmonious clash, and there’s no experience like going from a hot bath to a warm, fluffy towel to relax you and help you unwind.
There are so many different bathing products it can be difficult to make a choice: from simple bubble baths, to bath bombs, and scented oils.
There’s no single right answer, just the one that’s right for you, so do a bit of experimentation and build a library of bath products for every occasion. Lavender scented oil is good for relaxation at the end of the day while peppermint and eucalyptus scents are better for an energising wash when you need a boost!

Hi Filip great story your very lucky when you got away from a MEGLDON great story keep it up Filip well done.
Wow! The description of your shark capture is really exciting and also a bit scary! You have explained the trip very well, i especially like the description of the type of shark it was that you caught.
What a brilliant story! This is a really good piece of adventure writing, especially at a time that lots of documentaries are being done about this sort of thing. I can relate to this as I have always wanted to swim with sharks and other sea creatures. Recent studies have shown that although we think sharks are really dangerous, they don’t target humans. I would still be careful though! I like the way you use the exclamation mark in the piece. It is really effective. I also really like how you end the piece with capital letters, really emphasizing the characters relief about the whole thing. Keep up the good work!

Fans went nuts over the ‘Captain America: Civil War’ trailer last week and already the teaser for the ‘Batman V Superman’ trailer, showing Superman unmasking a trussed up Batman has got tongues wagging for the full-length preview that is due later this week. Your move, ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’.
The third mega super hero epic due next year is said to have a trailer attached to ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ and expectations are high for what is said to be the final ‘X-Men’ movie in this particular cycle. But word has emerged that we may be in for a disappointment. Footage recently shown to the Italian press sounds exactly like that already shown this summer at SDCC.
The current 38th annual Giornate Professionali di Cinema di Sorrento has been running since November 30 and ends tomorrow and is a major event for the film industry, so 20th Century Fox took advantage to show off their upcoming feature, but even though several months of post-production have taken place, it sounds as if those in attendance were only shown the same footage. Granted, the footage wasn’t released to the public and the attendees of this festival were most likely not at SDCC, so it was likely new to them. But with the official trailer due in just over a week, fans are worried that the new trailer won’t be all that new.
Follow the images very fast which displays the young new mutants. Then, mounted in parallel, on the one hand Xavier speaking with Moira McTaggert, she says that there is a mutant, the first in history, which is like a God and he started it all.
At the same time we see a mighty hooded figure followed by Psylocke and Storm, are looking for mutants and as they walk, the mysterious figure lists the names by which it has been known over the centuries and concludes by saying that the world needs to be changed: “We will build a new world created by the mutants. ” The three run into Magneto asking “cazo Who are you?”, And the eprsonaggio takes off his cap, showing the face of Revelation, as we have seen in the promotional images.
A series of scenes very fast show the beginning of the destruction at the hands of Revelation.
We see the face of Xavier very scared, as she says: “It can control all of us.” Then they are shown two groups of mutants, the one against the other. On the one hand Revelation solleve with the power of thought Xavier on his wheelchair, on the side opposite. Jean Grey screams.
A scene in slow motion of Quicksilver that runs in the hallway of Cerebro.
A series of images with shares agitated, then Xavier enters Cerebro and his eyes become blacks and says: “I’ve never felt like this before,” perhaps is owned by Revelation.
The last shot shows Professor X bald.
Then it sounds like there’s a quick-cut of some of the new mutants in the movie, followed by Xavier talking about Apocalypse to Moira.
I believe where it reads “Revelation” it is meant to read “Apocalypse.” Perhaps Apocalypse is a word that doesn’t translate well to other languages and he is known as Revelation in Italy? Just a guess on my part.
But at any rate, the description is pretty much shot-by-shot the same footage already shown.
Then again, maybe Fox just didn’t feel like cutting a new preview for this gathering when they already had a perfectly serviceable montage already prepared, that had only been shown once and not released to the general public, including those in attendance here. Maybe director Bryan Singer is too busy prepping the trailer for its December 18 premier to cut a separate video. AND maybe Singer and Fox want to really delight fans with a trailer that is 100% new and not spoil that by releasing some of that footage early to industry insiders.
At any rate, the stakes are high as the ‘Civil War’ trailer really delighted fans and many of those same fans are already intrigued by the moody ‘Batman V Superman’ teaser. Can the mutants measure up? Something tells me, we won’t be disappointed!
What do you think? Are you pumped for the ‘X-Men’ trailer? Of the three, which trailer/movie are you most excited about?

I was lucky enough, once again, to be invited to cover the Lincolnshire Show for this little blog and, once again, I was delighted to do so. It's such an event in these parts, everyone makes the effort to go along and it allows me to indulge my passion for all things Lincolnshire. I am so proud to live here and occasions like this, where the county gets to celebrate and showcase its many talents, remind me again how lucky I am to be part of it.
That said, it was an entirely different experience this year. Last year Forrest was a mere seven months old, newly weaned and content to sit in his pushchair and take in the many sights and sounds of the Show. This year, as a rambunctious and confident toddler, he was less keen to sit still and far more interested in getting stuck in, taking part, touching, trying and making a bid for freedom whenever possible. Frankly, he was exhausting! It made it harder for us to get involved as he wanted to be off exploring all the time. I'm sure next year will be different again and it will be fun to look back at which bits he has enjoyed the most each year throughout his life.
This year it was tractors. Forrest is heavily into anything to do with farms and is completely, totally, utterly obsessed with tractors. So as you can imagine, he was on cloud nine when he found himself surrounded by them. And in one!
As you'd expect from a county famous for its produce, there is always an abundance of local food to sample and local producers to meet, from established household names to brand new start up companies.
I was pleased to see that one of my favourite cheese producers, Lymn Bank Farm, were also in attendance. If you like strong, creamy Cheddar then you must try their Just Jane - it's the best there is.
Nothing stirs the blood quite like the sight of a hunt, but a parade of hounds comes a close second.
Spectators at the Main Ring were treated to a parade of not one, not two but five packs of hounds. Our local pack, the Brocklesby Hunt, were joined by the Burton (Lincoln), the Blankney (Lincoln), the Belvoir (Rutland) and the East Lincs Bassets for a fantastic parade, followed by the opportunity for the crowd to invade the ring and meet the hounds. And more than one errant hound took his chance to invade the crowd!
We also had to see some of the horse showing classes, of course. I could watch these all day, truth be told.
Forrest was delighted to see the Red Arrows, he loves to point out planes in the sky!
And before we knew it, it was time to leave. Not before we popped back to pick up a new John Deere tractor for Forrest of course. The hardest thing about the day was all the gear we dragged around with us - my huge baby bag, picnic blanket, bottles of water and all the things we picked up throughout the day made us grateful to have the pushchair to help us along. Though by the end of the day it was a little overloaded!
Luckily, Forrest was more than happy to make his own way back to the car!
I'd like to thank the organisers once again for inviting us along, we are already looking forward to next year! So much work goes into making this such a fantastic event (if you don't believe me, have a look at the timelapse video on the Show's homepage) and it's so worth it. I read that this year the Show attracted record numbers of visitors, with over 60,000 people flocking to the show ground to celebrate this wonderful county. I expect that next year will be even bigger!
I've lived in Lincolnshire all my life and have never made it to the Lincs Show. Your pics look great, especially the ones of the food court! As I work in school I am always at work when the show is on - maybe one year I'll have to take my class!

GRAEME Dunstan hosted an "anti-militarisation speak out" this morning, where he talked about the consequences for "permanent war".
The notorious peace protestor held the event across from Rockhampton's pre-polling centre on Archer St.
Mr Dunstan made a brief speech before inviting others to have their say.
"Although we have escalating military spending in a time when they are saying there is no money in the kitty for health and education, they can commit $90 million to build a fleet of submarines we don't really want," he said.
"I went straight from high school to Royal Military College, so I got to know a lot of about the military and I got to know I didn't like it.
"It introduced me to military history, and I have been deep in the reading of the cause of the first World War. I live in the fear that we may again create another conflict like that."
Mr Dunstan said his grandchildren, and the idea of what their future could look like, was what motivated him to speak out.
"I have grandchildren, and when I look into their eyes they are the joy of my life. There aren't too many joys for old men," he said.
"I think… what future? And I know what the risks are of permanent war. I know what the risk of militarisation of our culture is, and I don't want this for them. I want something better.
"It is only a matter of time before they are clobbered… they will bring enemies to our shores. Think about the consequences of permanent war."
POLL: Was Doblo's sign vandalised? Or was it free speech?

I recently posted about Agave, and how it’s made my life as the wife of a diabetic so much easier. See, with Agave syrup you don’t get the nasty aftertaste that artificial sweeteners leave. And while I cook with Stevia, another natural sweetener, quite frequently, it has a bitterness that doesn’t do well with baked goods and desserts.
As I previously mentioned, though, Agave is a fructose sugar- so it will raise your blood sugar, but slowly. And slow is good.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, whip the butter until light. Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by agave syrup and vanilla extract. Stir in 1/3 of the flour mixture, followed by the sour cream. Add another 1/3 of the flour mixture, then the milk, before stirring in the remaining flour mixture. Mix only until just combined.
Bake for 22-28 minutes, until a toothpick comes out dry or with some moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake.
Frost with a Ganache made with sugar-free or low-sugar chocolate.
That looks luscious! If you’re interested in more agave recipes, I bake exclusively with it. Please come visit my site, Altered Plates and let me know what you think.
HilzZy I want to say – thank you for this!

Data leak prevention technology inspects outbound content to keep sensitive data from escaping the network.
An employee sends an unencrypted e-mail that contains sensitive information. Another downloads private data onto a USB storage device that he later loses. Yet another has a notebook stolen from his home. These are but three examples of a growing problem that data leak prevention technology seeks to address.
Although DLP technology is still emerging, large security manufacturers that recognize its promise have made a spate of acquisitions. WebSense and McAfee kicked off the buying spree in late 2006, acquiring PortAuthority and Onigma, respectively. More recently, RSA, the security division of EMC, landed Tablus; Trend Micro grabbed up Provilla; and Symantec acquired Vontu.
The manufacturers have integrated these DLP products to varying degrees with their larger security suites. Although the technical approach of DLP products varies, the technology is evolving into a network appliance that monitors all outbound communications, inspects it for sensitive data and enforces data policies.
Meanwhile, client-side technology applies policies to removable storage devices and media. The most advanced DLP suites from companies such as Symantec and WebSense can discover, analyze and classify such data, using techniques such as data fingerprinting, lexical analysis, partial document matching and statistical analysis.
Once set, policies can be applied to data as it flows through and out of the organization (data in motion) and also as it is stored (data at rest) and manipulated in-house (data in use).
At least that’s the premise of DLP technology. Today, the reality is more modest: Organizations across levels of government have specific risks they must address before fully engaging in discovery and the creation of multiple policies.
The city of Lake Forest, Ill., is a case in point. “We had unauthorized USB devices all over the place,” says Joe Gabanski, network administrator for the city. With 350 end users and approximately 500 end points to consider, Gabanski and his IT staff needed a way to keep track of devices coming into the network and what information was leaving on them each night.
Lake Forest compromised by deploying Lumension Security’s Sanctuary Device Control on PCs and notebooks. This software automates the oversight of USB databases by monitoring and controlling the peripheral devices that can connect to each end point, while enforcing data use policies managed by a central server. IT must now approve USB devices that connect to a system. In other words, removable storage is welcomed, while portable music players are not.
While Lake Forest intends to adopt additional DLP features in the future, such as e-mail encryption, IT started small and addressed its most immediate concern. Sanctuary Device Control is priced at $25 per user, with volume discounts available.
“The step-by-step approach makes sense,” says Jon Oltsik, senior analyst for information security for the Enterprise Strategy Group in Milford, Mass. DLP tools currently available are good at making sure that organizations aren’t releasing sensitive data openly. What they do less well is analyze volumes of data stored in disparate applications. “When it comes to determining exactly what data is floating around the enterprise, classifying it, and then figuring out who is using it and for what purposes, the technology has a long way to go,” he says.
Create information hierarchies and restrict access to critical data.
Educate your employees. Address data policies in the employee handbook and hold regular training sessions.
Create and enforce policies, and make data protection part of your overall security efforts.
Because data loss may actually be data theft, conduct background checks and screening, whether with potential new employees or vendor partners.
Create comprehensive backup plans. Those stealing data may erase or destroy it to cover their tracks. Backups also provide an audit trail.
Deploy appropriate security technologies, including DLP, intrusion prevention, and information monitoring and content filtering technology.

New population stats give a fascinating insight into the most popular suburbs with our newest arrivals from overseas.
They show that immigrants continue to favour areas where there is a strong established community of fellow countrymen, affordable accommodation and/or proximity to jobs and universities.
Along the East Coast states, it was the CBDs that were most popular, followed by suburban areas with big immigrant communities, according to recently released ABS Regional Population Growth figures for 2016-17.
It’s somewhat surprising to see that Brisbane CBD attracted the highest number of new international residents in 2016-17, with 12,847 net arrivals compared to 9,316 in Melbourne CBD and 8,505 in Sydney CBD.
Melbourne and Sydney are well known cities overseas and as such attract large numbers of new settlers. However, immigrants are increasingly discovering the other capitals, with Brisbane certainly offering more affordable housing, not to mention great weather all year round and reasonable job prospects.
While the data didn’t specify where immigrants came from, we can draw some conclusions based on where they settled, especially in NSW and Victoria. Take a look at the tables below.
We know it’s typical for those wanting to start new lives to do so in suburbs popular with fellow immigrants. We also know that immigration from Asia and India is rapidly rising – in fact, it’s more than doubled over the past 10 years alone. We also know that Sydney and Melbourne have received the lion’s share of Asian immigration in recent years.
It’s therefore not surprising to see suburbs with a high proportion of Asian and Indian-born residents being the most popular neighborhoods among new arrivals last year.
In NSW, Parramatta council area in Sydney’s west was the No 1 suburban hot spot for new arrivals, with 7,682 immigrants settling there. More than 20% of Parramatta’s residents were born in India and China, according to the 2016 Census.
Victoria’s No 1 suburban hotspot was Monash council area in Melbourne, with 6,734 new immigrant settlers. Monash has large Chinese and Indian communities representing a collective 18% of the residential population.
In Queensland, the Gold Coast council area attracted 5,374 new immigrants. The Gold Coast has traditionally been popular with New Zealanders (8% of the current residential population) and English immigrants (5.2%). However, we’re definitely seeing growing appeal among the Chinese too, partly due to more Chinese development on the coast in recent years.
More than 3,500 Chinese-born residents moved to the Gold Coast between 2011 and 2016, according to the Census. The opening of a dedicated Chinatown in Southport in 2014 and the first direct flights to China in 2015 reflects the Gold Coast’s rising Chinese resident profile.
Net overseas immigration plays a bigger role in our national population growth than natural increase (births minus deaths), so it has a significant impact on our property market.
Prior to the 1970s, Australia attracted mostly European immigrants. Today, we’re attracting mostly Asian immigrants.
Immigrant communities have given great character to their suburbs, with specialty retailers, grocers and restaurants providing traditional foods and goods. Some suburbs have earned special designations due to their large immigrant populations. Sydney examples include ‘Little India’ in Harris Park, ‘Little Vietnam’ in Cabramatta and ‘Little Portugal’ in Petersham.
The 2016 Census revealed that for the first time ever, the majority of Australian residents born overseas are now from Asia, not Europe.
We expect this to remain a growing trend that will influence demand for homes in our most densely populated Asian immigrant communities.
