Ranil Wickremesinghe (Photo: Sri Lanka. REUTERS/Dinuka Liyanawatte)

Sri Lanka’s ousted prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe initiated moves Monday to take control of state finances as a power struggle with the country’s president entered a second month.

Wickremesinghe’s United National Party (UNP) said it would call a parliamentary vote this week to block spending by the new administration installed by President Maithripala Sirisena.

The UNP says that as Sri Lanka does not have a recognised government all spending powers should revert to parliament, where the UNP and its allies have a majority.

Sirisena set off the constitutional crisis on October 26 by sacking Wickremesinghe, naming the country’s former strongman president Mahinda Rajapakse as prime minister, and seeking to dissolve parliament.

But the Supreme Court and legislators have blocked Sirisena and the parliament’s speaker has declared that neither Wickremesinghe nor Rajapakse are prime minister.

Wickremesinghe, who occupies the prime minister’s residence, and Rajapakse, who has the premier’s offices, have both refused to back down.

UNP spokesman Champika Ranawaka said a majority in the 225-member legislature would vote on Friday to freeze spending by Rajapakse’s disputed ministerial team. The UNP and its allies have 122 MPs.

“In the absence of a government, all financial control transfers to parliament,” Ranawaka told reporters. “We will directly have control over government spending through the legislature.”

Rajapakse has lost two no-confidence motions and two other votes in parliament but still insists he is in charge.

Ranawaka said the fifth motion against Rajapakse on Friday would seek to stop him from spending state funds.

“We are informing the Treasury that they cannot release any money for the purported government. It will be the parliament which will exercise its powers of finance directly from Friday,” Ranawaka said.

The political crisis worsened Sunday when Sirisena announced that he will never reinstate Wickremesinghe as prime minister even if he has a parliamentary majority.

“We warn the president to respect the majority of MPs and recognise Hon. Wickremesinghe,” Ranawaka said. “He must realise he can’t pick (and) choose a PM like shopping at a supermarket.”

Sri Lanka’s power vacuum is so acute that no budget for 2019 has been passed. Government finances will stall on January 1 unless a vote is taken.

Watch A Trailer For Netflix’s New Music Drama The Get Down

Last year, we found out that Netflix was hopping on the hip-hop drama trend with The Get Down. The series is executive produced by Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge!, The Great Gatsby) and Shawn Ryan (The Shield), and focuses on a group of South Bronx teenagers in the 1970s who rise up through the ranks of a broken down New York City to give birth to the hip-hop, punk, and disco scenes. Today, the first trailer for the series was debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show, and you can watch it below.

The show will debut sometime this year.

KEF Home THX Loudspeaker System

KEF's Home THX speaker system is somewhat unusual in that it includes an active subwoofer. (While most Home Theater subs are powered types; it's just that few THX models are.) Although powered speakers have never enjoyed much popularity with American audiophiles, they can yield better results than the mix'n'match approach because each amplifier/driver combination can be optimized.

Any combination of a THX amplifier and THX loudspeaker will have about the same sensitivity as any other such combination. The reason each channel of a THX-certified amplifier is required to have an output capability of 150W (into 6 ohms) is because one or another of them may be called on to drive a subwoofer of unpredictable impedance. (In fact, THX subsequently modified its amplifier power standard to accommodate receivers, whose loudspeaker outputs have clearly defined functions. Only the receiver's subwoofer outputs are required to deliver the full 150W.)

The front KEF AV3 speakers are typically THX in design, in that they have dual midrange/woofers and three tweeters, with all five units mounted vertically in-line. The AV2 surround speakers are also typically THX, in that they are dipoles. Cabinet finish and construction appeared to be very good, although my rubber-mallet test (less painful than the equivalent knuckle and fist tests) indicated a slight resonance around 500Hz from two spots on the AV3's back panel. (The subwoofer enclosure was resolutely inert.)

The KEF AV1 subwoofer's amplifier is mounted inside the subwoofer enclosure on standard rack mounts. It is removable, allowing it to be optionally installed in a separate 19" rack. I opted not to do this, which proved to be a bit of a mistake (see below).

The subwoofer amplifier can accept balanced or unbalanced inputs, be fed from the loudspeaker outputs of a Home Theater receiver or the line outputs of a stand-alone surround decoder. It can be operated both as a universal subwoofer ("stereo" mode) or as a THX subwoofer.

When the Stereo/THX switch is in Stereo mode, the Level control can be used for setting LF balance, and the (crossover) Frequency control on the back of the amplifier can be used to change the subwoofer's low-pass inflection point between 50Hz to 150Hz. In THX mode, the level and crossover controls are deactivated; both the sensitivity and the crossover frequency are fixed according to THX specs.

The subwoofer amp's two sets of inputs are marked Conventional Stereo and Home Theater THX/Pro-Logic. The Conventional Stereo inputs accept full-range left- and right-channel inputs from a stereo preamp or receiver, feed a low-passed blend of the L and R bass to the subwoofer amp, and return the signals to output receptacles for connection to an external power amplifier. The unbalanced outputs can be full-range, for a typical stereo pair of loudspeakers, or high-pass–filtered below 100Hz for use with satellites of limited bass-handling capability. Conventional Stereo also has XLR pass-throughs that draw off the bass signals and feed them (blended) to the subwoofer while outputting full-range L and R signals to the main stereo amplifier. No high-pass filtered outputs are available when using the XLR connectors.

Also among the Conventional Stereo group are two pairs of 5-way binding posts, to be used when you want to augment the low end of a system that has no line-level outputs. Each pair is internally strapped, providing the option of passing the stereo signals through the AV1 and on to the stereo speakers, or of simply drawing off signal from the receiver's outputs. If the pass-throughs are used, the cables to and from the AV1 should be of fairly heavy gauge; otherwise, 16-gauge zip cord will do jes' fine.

There's only one THX/Pro-Logic input, which is configured on the assumption that it will be fed from the low-pass–filtered Subwoofer output of a surround decoder; it has no internal filter. A single output, which is simply a hard-wired feedthrough from the input, can be used to drive another power amp and subwoofer. (If the decoder has stereo subwoofer outputs, these can be summed by connecting them to both THX receptacles, or can be used to drive a pair of AV1s.)

The "Blend" control is an interesting innovation, but I'm not sure what it does. The manual seems to imply that it's a phase control, to adjust the timing of the subwoofer relative to the other speakers. Indeed, the control is marked with a + range and a – range, which would support the idea that it varies woofer phase. But this is impossible! There's simply no way the subwoofer could deliver output before the signal reaches its amplifier input. Advancing the woofer's phase ahead of that of the other speakers could only be done by delaying the other speakers' signals and operating the sub in real time. Perhaps KEF can explain what's going on here.

The THX spec calls for very narrow vertical dispersion from the front speakers, which means they must either be raised to ear height or tilted upward by an appropriate amount. (Unless the center speaker is behind an acoustically transparent screen, it must either go over or under the screen.) Most "universal" speaker stands can get the speakers to ear height, but few of them allow you to adjust their vertical tilt. KEF makes optional stands for their LCR speakers, but their 36" height puts the speakers' tweeters about a foot above ear height, and there's no provision for tilting them. I used Neoprene doorstop wedges (available from any hardware store) under the rear of each speaker to aim them downward.

The stereo pair was placed flanking the on-wall screen and about 26" in front of it, and spaced so as to form an angle of about 50° with respect to the center of the listening area. The center speaker was located the same measured distance from the center listening seat as the left and right speakers, but on a 10" stand I had, and propped up with wedges under the front to aim them upward. The subwoofer was placed at the left of the left-channel speaker—about a third of the room width from the side wall. (In my listening room, one or two subs in that 1/3-width location gives the smoothest low end; 1/4 or 1/2 width causes a deep dip at around 40Hz—right in the middle of the bass drum, double bass, and exploding-Death-Star range.)

The surround speakers went atop a pair of industrial tripod-base public-address speaker stands, close to the wall on each side of the row of audience seats. (This is a disadvantage of dipole surrounds; only one row of seats can be in their null zone, which is where you're supposed to be; anyone who isn't will hear a higher surround level than they should.)

Since everything in the system (except the signal sources) was THX-specified, there wasn't much need for calibration. The front-channel levels were right on the nose, as was the subwoofer level. A few input levels had to be reset to accommodate different-level sources, and the surround channels had to be raised by about 2dB in order to meet spec, but that was it.

Wow, things were interesting in 1996.  You could still get a critical review, and manufacturer response, back then.  Should we take this posting to mean that Stereophile will actually be reinstating critque inplace of marketing?

I was lucky enough to audition the passive version of this combination back in the mid 90's with Proceed Amps and the sound was beyond amazing, the salesperson was displaying the movie Twister, it felt like you were in a tornado the only drawback was the price at the time.

Helping those who need it most

Pro Bono

Pro bono is a fundamental principle of our firm. We are proud to contribute to our local communities and society at large changing lives for the better.

Helping those who need it most

Each year we handle a number of pro bono cases which either have a profound social significance, or that address a fundamental legal principle. They also frequently involve complex issues of civil, administrative or human rights law.

These cases are handled free of charge or at significantly reduced rates and we are proud that our lawyers invest their time and energy to assist those who would otherwise be unable to receive such counsel. As part of this process our Pro Bono Committee selects cases that are based on a list of criteria. Firstly the case must hold demonstrable social significance or set a legal precedent. Next, the party concerned must have limited financial resources and is not entitled to receive legal aid. We must also believe that we can provide clear added value through our specialist knowledge and expertise. Finally, we are careful to ensure there is no conflict of interest with our existing clients.

Every year, our partners and associates continue to play an active role in various pro bono matters, taking on cases that make a real difference to individuals, and local and national organisations. We invite you to read through the small selection of pro bono cases we have undertaken below.

    SVS represents the interests of women who became ill due to breast implants

    SVS is an NGO that champions the cause of 4,000 women who say their breast implants have led to serious side effects. This claim was not necessarily accepted by the medical community as a whole. For years SVS has been trying to get the Ministry of Health to ban the use of implants until their side effects are clearly documented to enable women to make informed decisions about the procedure.

    Stibbe advises WWF-Netherlands regarding the Dutch procurement policy for sustainable wood

    The Dutch government has expressed its intention to recognize the Malaysian Timber Certification System (MTCS) as evidence of sustainable wood for a two-year period, even though MTCS does not meet all official criteria. This is done to encourage full compliance with those criteria and means government agencies can use the wood in their building projects. The World Wild Fund for Nature, worried about the negative impact on the Malaysian rainforest and indigenous tribes, objected.

    Also for NGOs compliance with the data protection regulation is important.

    Vétérinaires Sans Frontières Belgium helps livestock farmers in African countries. They vaccinate and care for herds and help families to improve their livestock farming. In Belgium, VSF provides information and increases awareness about sustainable food production and consumption.

    Thanks to the support from VSF, African livestock farmers can overcome their poverty themselves. Thanks to animals, training, materials and animal healthcare, they can provide enough food for themselves and for the market. The whole village gets better as a result.

    Stibbe is proud to be able to guide VSF in this project.

    Citing the right to freedom of expression, the Reformed Political Party (Dutch abbreviation: SGP) argued that while women can become a member of the SGP, they couldn’t vote within the party or stand for public office on behalf of it.

    We took on the case on behalf of the NGOs against the SGP and the State, arguing that SGP’s position was in violation of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. The ultimate Supreme Court decision paved the way for female SGP members to decide for themselves whether to stand for office or not.

    Since 2008, the Brussels office has supported the PAG-ASA vzw, a non-governmental organisation that provides shelter, as well as legal advice to victims of human trafficking and cooperates with the relevant authorities in the combat against trafficking networks.

    A pool of motivated trainees led by Belgian litigation partner Hans Van Bavel assists PAG-ASA and the victims with their representation before the criminal courts in order to defend their rights and claim damages.

  • Stibbe protects students

    Brands news 320x213pix

    In 2011 the Dutch government expressed its intention to fine students €3,000 if they take too long to graduate. Student unions opposed to this change and approached Stibbe with a request for pro bono legal counsel.

    Our lawyers spent several weeks on this complex case and concluded that the government’s proposal violated various legal principles and was unlawful. The student unions used our advice to lobby Parliament, but this was only partially successful. The case was then taken to court with the help of Stibbe.

  • Stibbe assists OXFAM/WWF

    In 2012, we provided advice for the Legal Resource Initiative (LRI) created by Oxfam and the WWF in the preparation for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC), Cancun Summit in Mexico. This included matters in relation to the Kyoto Protocol (KP), public international law, an assessment of the Copenhagen Accord, the Gigaton Gap and the possible consequences between the first KP and the next.

AFTER more than a decade, Singapore could finally have its fourth full-fledged telecommunications company.

The newest kid on the block, two-year-old local broadband services provider MyRepublic, says it has fibre connections set up islandwide, and is prepared to begin providing mobile services.

What it needs now is to buy airwaves and roll out base stations to send signals to mobile devices.

Analysts say a fourth telco could enhance competition and give users more options. Already, MyRepublic is saying that it will offer unlimited data bundles - which are not available now.

It could also break a long dry spell in the industry: No new company has even expressed interest in entering Singapore's mobile market for 13 years, because of the prohibitive costs of networks and airwaves.

MyRepublic's chief executive, Mr Malcolm Rodrigues, told The Straits Times that the firm is in "early-stage" talks with financial institutions and mobile operators overseas for funding. It has budgeted up to $250 million for the initial 12 to 18 months to build a new mobile network.

This excludes the cost of airwaves, which MyRepublic is now seeking from the Infocomm Development Authority, for nationwide coverage and capacity expansion.

Its network will be based on 4G technologies, which are four times faster than 3G and can pack up to five times more data. There will also be support for seamless switching to Wi-Fi when there is a disruption or when surfing is slow. And it will use cheaper open source software to lower operational costs.

To differentiate itself from dominant players - SingTel, StarHub and M1 - MyRepublic plans to revive unlimited mobile data bundles.

Customers have long bemoaned the lack of competition, which they say leads to similar-looking contracts. In July 2012, for instance, SingTel stopped offering generous 12GB mobile data bundles for new sign-ups and contract renewals. Two months later, M1 and StarHub followed suit.

"The market is in need of a shake-up," said Singapore telco analyst Clement Teo at United States-based market research firm Forrester.

But there are challenges in offering competitive alternatives.

MyRepublic's 1Gbps fibre broadband package - at $49.99 a month, the cheapest per MB plan to date - drew so many sign-ups that it led to months of delays in orders being delivered.

Said Mr Teo: "It remains to be seen if it can maintain service quality and stay profitable."

RIDESHARING platform Grab on Wednesday announced that it will be expanding its research and development (R&D) capabilities globally, adding over 800 jobs in the next two years.

It has opened two new R&D centres in Bangalore, India and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The centre in India will focus on developing new payment technologies for GrabPay, Grab's digital payments platform. Grab said that this will deepen financial inclusion and increase access to mobile payments across South-east Asia, its focus market.

The centre in Vietnam will create in-app user experiences tailored to Grab users in Vietnam, and enhance the experiences for users across the region.

Both new centres add to Grab's existing centres in Beijing, Jakarta, Seattle and Singapore, doubling its number of R&D centres from three to six in the last quarter.

In Singapore, Grab will be moving to a larger office space of almost 100,000 sq ft in the Central Business District. This will be Grab's largest R&D centre globally, where it will continue to drive the development of the app based on local market research, and introduce new services and features that improve the user experience.

Grab said that it will add more than 800 new R&D jobs in the next two years, across all its six R&D centres.

As a business coach, trainer and consultant, I am often asked by bosses if there really are time-tested ways to manage people.

What works for one company may not work for another. Similarly, what works for one person will not work for another. For example, monetary incentives often fail to motivate people who are sick and tired of work.

Within a company, there is no one-size-fits-all method of managing people. This is because human beings are complex creatures and the complexity intensifies in different situations.

At the end of the day, effective people management is about making the best use of what you have got and get the most out of your team. This basically involves inspiring your people to want to do better. Here are some ways to do it:

Coach, don’t tell

The easiest way to coach people is to ask questions. So instead of telling a habitually unpunctual employee not to be late, ask him if he prefers to be late or on time. He will, of course, say that he wants to be on time, and that his lateness is due to a reason like getting stuck in a traffic jam.

Next, ask him questions on how he can resolve the traffic jam situation, and offer suggestions like waking up earlier.

Finally, get his commitment to resolve the problem by asking him to articulate his solution. He is likely to say: “I will wake up earlier tomorrow morning so that I will be on time.”

Coaching people is about following this formula:

* Ask questions that assume people want to be good;

* Ask questions that seek reasons for the shortfall in behaviour;

* Ask questions on how the employee can resolve the shortfall in behaviour;

* Ask questions to prompt the employee to state his commitment to the resolution.

Give high fliers room to excel

Top performers in your organisation want to achieve more but they often need people to tell them so. So, as a leader, you can do the following:

* Praise them for their high performance;

* Ask them how they think they can move beyond the current boundaries;

* Ask them to share with you what specific behaviours are needed to move their teams to achieve success sooner than later; and

* Assure them that they will get the resources they need to meet the organisational goals discussed.

Help low fliers fly higher

In dealing with below-par performers, encouragement and guidance are key factors. Let them know that they can become high fliers if they follow these five steps:

* Identify the main reason for their low performance. If they put the blame on others, let them know that they must take ownership of their behaviour. For example, if a perpetually late employee blames the bus schedule, tell him that if he can see this as his own problem and adjust his behaviour, he need not be at the mercy of the transport system.

* Help them resolve the issue by stating the problem, finding a solution and making the necessary changes to their behaviour.

* Identify one trait or behaviour that they have in common with high flyers. For example, an employee may say that he has as good inter-personal skills;

* Help the employee to understand that an easy way to improve his performance is to emulate the high flier’s behaviour; and

* Give the low fliers a lot of encouragement. Praise them when they make small, tangible improvements. These little victories will motivate them to achieve greater things.

If you too want to get the most from your team, practise these steps and you will reap the rewards of having more engaged and productive employees.

Topic Weeks 2013–14

This page is an archived class page from the past.

Visit this years' Topic Weeks page for the latest information

World Cup and Tour De France Week

Phew, what a week! We packed in lots of activities this week - a KS1 and KS2 Sports Festival that included lots of activities that involved ball skills - boccia, tennis, rounders, football, hockey, and basketball. KS1 danced away to various footballing songs led by our in-house talented dance lead, Mrs Harvey! Some amazing moves. Year 4 organised and led a series of sporting activities for KS1.

Each class was allocated a group of countries from the World Cup. During the week they studied each country in depth - learning lots of geographical information. Some of the countries were quite tricky to locate. We all have a better knowledge of the where the countries are now! Year 3 designed their own World Cup T-shirts!

We studied the Tour de France - we learnt how popular the race is in France and that sometimes the cyclists have difficulties cycling because the spectators get in the way! The Tour de France started as publicity stunt to sell more newspapers. It takes 21 days to complete the race. We drew a racing bike and labelled the different parts of the bike. Also, we brought our bikes into school and tested our skills as we negotiated our way around a mini cycling course.

Plants and Animals Week

We had great fun during Plants and Animals Week. Each class did lots of exciting activites, had visits form a variety of different animals or went out and about in search of plants and animals in Otley.

The week began with a visit from Sam's Safari. Each class had a visit form Helen and her animal friends which included a millipede, armadillo, tortoise, a variety of stick insects, snake and a gecko.  Helen told us about each animal and then we had the opportunity to hold them. The hairy armadillo was the favourite!

Here is a selection of the work from this week from Reception to Year 6. You can see all the exciting work from dissecting plants, plant sculptures, clay models, aboriginal art, research projects, and a variety of art work.

What are the signs and symptoms of blood clots in children?

  • DVTs or blood clots in young people can happen in different parts of the body.
  • Signs and symptoms depend on the area of the body affected. It also depends on how much the blood clot blocks the blood flow through the vein.
  • DVTs in the leg or arm usually cause painful swelling in the area.
  • Children can experience blood clots in the deep veins in the brain. These veins bring blood flow back toward the heart. Children with these brain blood clots often have severe prolonged headaches. This headache is usually worse in the early morning and may include blurred vision.
  • PE or lung clot symptoms include shortness of breath and chest pain that worsens with deep breathing.

Viga Boland

The spirit of want is what drives most of the primary characters in this literary fiction novel by William H. Coles. The beautiful, but deeply conflicted lawyer, Lucy, isn’t sure what she wants. But after she marries Luke, a doctor who wants Lucy from the day he meets her, she knows Luke isn’t what she wants. Lucy’s gentle and loving half-sister, Elizabeth, wants a husband and children. The girls’ mother, Agnes, wants a grandchild; their father, a top surgeon, wants money and status. And then there’s the charismatic preacher, Hower, whom Lucy is hired to defend in a rape case, who ends up bedding her to get what he wants: to escape imprisonment and ultimately regain his power and hold over his devoted followers. When Lucy succumbs to Hower’s power, all hell breaks loose in both her professional and personal life. She abandons Luke, her child, and her family, believing Hower will satisfy the spirit of want that drives her, only to have her wants, like her, die unfulfilled.

As in most of William H. Coles’ novels and short stories, the focus is always on the flaws and fragilities that make the mighty fall. This was the case with surgeons McDowell and Otherson in two of Coles’ other novels, and such is the case with Lucy in The Spirit of Want. Coles enjoys exploring the psyches and personality traits of those driven to succeed who reach the top. But, as is often said, once you reach the top, there’s only one way to go. So Coles fires on, showing readers how pride can destroy, and reminding us there is much to learn from others on that downhill slide. One of the difficulties readers encounter in reading The Spirit of Want and other novels by Coles is his tendency to address many different social, religious and political issues while telling the story. He does this by introducing lots of characters and situations as the story develops. While each of these situations and the accompanying exchange of ideas between the characters is interesting, and prompts readers to think about more than just the plot of the book, some readers may find these digressions distracting. Thankfully, since Coles’ primary writing device is dialogue, rather than narration, we are not distracted for too long before the plot leaps forward again.

In The Spirit of Want, one of the transitions in situations for which the reader was quite unprepared was Lucy, the lawyer, becoming sexually and romantically involved with Hower. In one chapter, after visiting with him to probe deeper into the rape allegations, she comes away disliking him with such intensity she hopes she never has to meet with him again. The next time the reader hears about Lucy and Hower, she has been disbarred for conduct unbefitting her professional role as a defence lawyer…and the reader had no idea they had even met again under any circumstances. That is enough to make readers flip back through the pages, wondering if they’d missed a chapter! One other element that makes The Spirit of Want, in fact all of Coles’ novels, interesting is what he reveals about what goes on behind the scenes in the medical profession. Knowing that Coles is himself a retired doctor, there’s no reason to believe that what he presents is merely creative fiction. It’s eye-opening and often not very nice at all. As in all the works of William H. Coles, there is much to learn about many things in The Spirit of Want.

Definition: when all you focus on is the marketing side of your biz but put no effort into money generating activities.

Marketing, branding, promotion are all important in growing and sustaining your business. But sometimes entrepreneurs lose sight of this, go overboard, and spend all of their time with these activities, and forget to focus on selling their products and services. Selling your product or service is the goal of your business - otherwise, you can't continue to do what you do. If you've fallen into this trap, just take a step back, and create an action plan to focus your time on money generating activities.

10. Le-Dor va-Dor

1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 The Hebrew formula Le-Dor va-Dor (from generation to generation)1 encapsulates the central theme of generational continuity in Judaism. Adam’s descendant tree is the first genealogy of the Torah, and such trees are found throughout the Tanakh (Hebrew bible). In the essay “Seder Tanaim ve-Amoraim,” written in Arabic, Joseph ben Juda ibn Aknin (1150–1220) extended this preoccupation with generational continuity even to the teacher-disciple lineage of Talmudic scholars.2 This genealogical concept has even been applied to the field of mathematicians in this century; as of Dec. 27 2016, the Mathematics Genealogy Project lists 206’552 individuals in its academic genealogy.3

2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 The goal of this chapter, by far much more modest than the previous ones, is to trace the lineage of the Stühlingen Jews between 1600 and 1743. As in the biblical lineages, this chapter too will have a major deficiency: women are mentioned infrequently in municipal, county, and court records, our major sources. Named women are even rarer; more commonly they appear as “daughter of …,” “sister of …,” or “wife of …” However, we will make every effort to trace women whenever possible.

3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 The little information available indicates a high degree of intermarriage among the established Jewish families in Stühlingen and the families in surrounding communities. This would also help to explain the high prevalence of such given names as Marum and Lehemann in the families, a result of name diffusion from both paternal and maternal lines. In essence, the Jews in Stühlingen were all related to each other in one way or another. This practice of endogamy too has biblical roots.4

1Cf. Deut. 32:7.

2Judah and Reifmann, “Mavo Ha-Talmud.”

3“Mathematics Genealogy Project.”

4Cf. Num. 27:1–11.

[stunnel-users] How to get stunnel to listen on an IPv6 interface?

jshardlo stunnel at shardlow.org.uk
Sat Mar 10 04:03:12 CET 2012

Hi - my server was recently connected to IPv6 as well as the original IPv4

I have been using stunnel for some time on the IPv4 network but now that I
have IPv6 access I can't work out how to get stunnel to listen on that
interface as well.

I checked that my stunnel has IPv6 support:-

/usr/sbin/stunnel -version
stunnel 4.15 on i686-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul
Global options
debug           = 5
pid             = /var/run/stunnel.pid
RNDbytes        = 64
RNDfile         = /dev/urandom
RNDoverwrite    = yes
Service-level options
cert            = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
ciphers         = AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH
key             = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem
session         = 300 seconds
TIMEOUTbusy     = 300 seconds
TIMEOUTclose    = 60 seconds
TIMEOUTconnect  = 10 seconds
TIMEOUTidle     = 43200 seconds
verify          = none

I have a configuration like this:

accept  = 995
connect = 110

But when I do netstat I can see that it is only listening for port 995 on

netstat -an | grep 995
tcp        0      0       *

netstat -an -A inet6 | grep 995

And of course when I connect to port 995 over the IPv6 network I get
"connection refused".

Any ideas how to get stunnel to listen on the v6 address?

Thanks !

So, I was looking at the whois data for stupendous.net and I realised that I’ve owned this domain for nearly 20 years.

   Domain Name: STUPENDOUS.NET

I thought that was pretty cool, though it made me sad to realise Oracle has subsumed yet another company and owns dyndns.com who I’ve used for at least 10 years.

On another note. I’ve added facebook login for commenting on this site. I think pretty much everyone has a facebook login these days.

Obviously, it’s going to send me your email address. I promise I won’t spam you. I won’t do anything with the email address other than use it as your primary key in the database.

All of our products are available in our standard finishes; Satin Stainless Steel, Polished Stainless Steel, Satin Black Chrome, Satin Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Bronze and Antique Brass.

Satin Stainless Steel and Polished Stainless Steel are our standard timeless finishes. Satin Black Chrome offers you an extremely durable, high quality finish in a beautiful matt black and is our most sought after custom finish. Brass and Satin Brass are also extremely popular,, and we offer a flawless Brass electroplate in a combination of 24k Gold and Brass particles. The 24k Gold and Brass components stop the product from tarnishing, therefore we DO NOT clear lacquer this finish. Antique Bronze is electroplated in a copper base and Antique Brass is electroplated in a brass base. Both finishes are then oxidised, and hand rubbed to give a beautiful, luxurious, old world finish and are designed to continue to age and tarnish over time. Due to the intricate nature of plated finishes we recommend ordering as a complete batch to achieve a consistent finish. If you are matching an existing product e.g. tapware or door knocker, etc. please provide us with a sample so we can get as close as possible to the desired finish.

We also do Custom Electroplated, Baked Enamel, or any Powder Coated Finishes.

A Powder Coat finish offers you even more choice by allowing you to compliment your interior/exterior surroundings by choosing any Dulux or Interpon Powder Coat Finish such as Jasper, Monument, Sable CoreTen, Zuess White and so on.

General & Family Dentistry

Dental Implants & Restorative Dentistry

At Fort Mohave Dental in Fort Mohave, AZ,  Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins  provides the latest in dental implants and restorative dentistry technology.  Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that serve as anchors for replacement teeth.  When a patient is missing one or more teeth, dental implants are the most permanent (and often the most comfortable) solution.  Read on to learn more, but don't forget to visit our smile gallery to view some before-and-after photos of the dental implants results enjoyed by our Fort Mohave dental implant patients.

Steps for Dental Implants

The first step in the dental implants process for our Fort Mohave dental patients is a consultation with Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins, during which all possible tooth replacement options will be discussed. To be a good candidate for dental implants, the dental patient must have sufficient bone in his or her jaw to support the implants.  Once it is determined that the patient is a good candidate for dental implants, Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins will surgically implant the titanium screws that will serve as anchors into the patient's jaw. The next step in the dental implants process will occur two to six months later, after the titanium tooth roots have completely fused to the patient's jaw bone. Once this has occurred, the patient can return to our Fort Mohave restorative dentistry office where Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins will fit the custom-crafted replacement teeth onto the patient's artificial tooth roots.

Dental Implants Preferred Over Dentures

Many of Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins's Fort Mohave area dental implant patients prefer permanent dental implants over traditional removable dentures for several reasons. Dental implants are nearly indistinguishable from a patient's natural teeth, unlike dentures which look artificial. While traditional dentures need to be removed nightly for cleaning, dental implants are a permanent tooth loss solution that require no additional maintenance outside of a good oral hygiene routine. Dental implants also allow patients to feel more comfortable while speaking and eating because dental implants are permanently affixed to the patient's jaw and won't shift or slip as with traditional dentures.

Get Started Today

Only the most modern dentistry treatments are available at Fort Mohave Dental because we are committed to giving patients beautiful smiles they can be proud of for years to come. However, we strongly believe that the best foundation for a stunning smile is a healthy mouth, which is why we take general dentistry very seriously. Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins and our knowledgeable staff of dental professionals are dedicated to ensuring that all patients receive the most thorough care available during their twice-yearly dental examination and cleaning.

The Dental Examination

The first part of a general dentist visit is a full mouth X-ray which allows Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins to examine the health of your teeth and underlying jaw structure. During your examination, Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins or a Fort Mohave Dental hygienist will use a small pick and mirror to examine each tooth for cavities, plaque and damage. You will also undergo a gum examination where your gums will be gently probed to detect any signs of gum disease. The final step in your general dentistry visit at Fort Mohave Dental is a head and neck examination, which allows Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins to inspect for any potential issues with glands or joints, such as TMJ disorder. After your thorough examination, Dr. Mark Collins and Dr. Qun Collins will sit down with you to discuss the results of the exam and plan any necessary repairs or treatments.

Thorough Dental Cleaning

The second part of your bi-annual check-up at Fort Mohave Dental consists of a complete professional dental cleaning conducted by one of our gentle and caring dental hygienists. While it is recommended for adults to brush their teeth three times a day and floss once daily, the reality is that most people only brush twice daily and floss rarely.  Even the most hygiene-dedicated patients who brush and floss regularly will not ever achieve the same results as that of a deep cleaning from one of our trained dental hygienists. For the best dental health and cavity prevention, it is important to have your teeth professionally cleaned, polished, and treated with fluoride twice a year.

NLP and Hypnotherapy

nlp and hypnotherapy

You have clicked onto this NLP and Hypnotherapy article

So, I will mind read and say that you must be curious to know how those few, select individuals in the world can be so much more successful at what they do than the many? Success is of course a label, it means something different to each one of us, whether achieved by playing a game of chess, achieving a swimming medal, or being the CEO of a major corporation, success is measured by the individual on how well they have done. Success in one particular subject may be of high favor to one, while another might prefer something completely different. This is where the studies of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, NLP and Hypnotherapy come into play.

NLP, or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a study of how we structure our thinking, our language, our programming, respond  to the world around us, and experience every situation we encounter, as well as how we communicate what we know to others and indeed ourselves. NLP creates and uses models of success from many of the most successful minds and geniuses in the world.  It has allowed us to “map out” how the few think, act and communicate while comparing and contrasting it to the many. By doing so, methods and techniques have been developed to change the thinking process as well as the behaviors of those who practice.

For example,

let’s say that you have an underlying phobia of spiders and you have no idea where it came from. For as long as you can remember, the mere thought of a spider makes you cringe, or maybe even scream. Why, then, is it that there are those few individuals who have a pet tarantula that they take out of its tank and play with on a daily basis? This is how the models are created, by getting deep into the unconscious (or subconcious) minds of those select few and finding out how their mind works regarding spiders so that the many with the phobia can be helped.

NLP allows us to ‘try on’ a number of “presuppositions“. Much like affirmations, they are simple, positive reinforcements that focus on the basics of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, such as communication and the thinking process. “There is no such thing as failure-only feedback” is one such useful presupposition.  Believing in failure can be damaging, rather than learning from the feedback of projects that don’t work out.  If we take the feedback, we know what not to do next time round.

Another presupposition of NLP is that all humans have within them the power to heal and avoid, or combat sickness and disease. NLP allows us to tap into this portion of our unconscious minds – the part of our mind that takes care of us and looks after functions such as breathing, movement etc.  Imagine how difficult it would be to consciously breathe all day and all night whilst trying to do everything else that we do.

Hypnotherapy also allows us to access our unconscious minds and is exceptionally useful for helping us to stop smoking, get over a traumatic event, enable us to feel motivated or confident for example.  Modern day Hypnotherapy can be relayed through storytelling and/or symbolism to help you communicate with your unconscious mind, allowing different, powerful options to come and go freely. By tapping into your own imagination, you will be able to utilise your positive strengths to get past where you are, ending up where you want to be.

Both NLP and Hypnotherapy are yielding positive outcomes for many when they are used Separately, and even greater results when practiced concurrently

Surgery News & Resources

A Brand New Nose - A New Outlook on Life

Learn more about the unique cosmetic surgery procedure: rhinoplasty.

Our noses are the most prominent feature of our faces. Many feel that changing the appearance of their nose will enhance their self-confidence. Rhinoplasty is surgery to re-shape the nose and may be combined with procedures to enhance breathing through the nose.

What situations does rhinoplasty address?

Most modern rhinoplasty surgery is done for cosmetic reasons. But in some cases it’s performed to correct defects arising from heredity, injury, or previous rhinoplasty.

Structure of the nose

Our noses are thought of as including 4 main areas:

1.      The upper third (the bony part near the eyes);

2.      The middle third (called the middle vault);

3.      The lower third (the tip); and

4.      The septum (the bone and cartilage that divides the two nostrils).

Talking with your plastic surgeon

Since the nose performs the vital function of breathing, it has to retain certain anatomical features, regardless of its cosmetic appearance. So while you may approach your surgeon with cosmetic concerns, and of course he’ll listen to them and consider them, he’ll be approaching the conversation with anatomical requirements in mind as well as cosmetic considerations.

He’ll study your face from all angles and make suggestions as to how he could achieve the look you want. Your discussions should continue until the two of you arrive at a mutual understanding and realistic goal.

Over the years, many people (doctors, sociologists, psychologists, artists) have studied the human face from an aesthetic viewpoint and have come up with desirable angles, ideal dimensions, pleasing ratios etc.

Your rhinoplasty surgeon will want to achieve the following:

·         Symmetry

·         Harmony with the rest of your face

·         Adequate air passages

·         Satisfaction on your part with the outcome

Approaches to rhinoplasty

There are two approaches to rhinoplasty: the closed technique and the open technique, and a competent rhinoplasty surgeon can use either one. They have a lot in common. It’s a matter of where the incisions are made.

Closed technique (endonasal rhinoplasty)

The incisions are all made inside the nose. Supporters of this technique maintain that (among other things) it reduces post-op swelling, takes less time to perform, and leaves no visible scar.

Open rhinoplasty

Incisions are made both inside the nose, and outside it, usually across the columella (the fleshy area between the nasal openings on front view). Proponents of this technique cite the direct exposure it gives them to nasal tissue, and the ease with which they can see what they’re doing. And this in turn allows for greater accuracy in their modifications.

However, the downside includes factors such as the residual scar at the columella, increased surgical time, and increased post-op swelling, numbness and healing time at the tip of the nose.

Rhinoplasty procedure

Local anesthetic and IV sedation or general anesthesia may be used and the procedure takes from 1 to 3 hours, depending on what exactly is being done. After the modifications are completed, the incisions are sutured and a splint is applied to the outside of the nose to give support while it heals in its new shape.

Recovery period

The splint will remain in position for about a week or so. The sutures inside the nose will dissolve. Any external sutures will be removed. Your plastic surgeon will prescribe pain medication. You’ll need to keep your head elevated, even while you sleep and avoid blowing your nose for about a week. In fact, you’ll be away from your normal daily activities for about a week. There’ll be swelling and bruising for about 2 weeks and you might feel stuffed up for several weeks.

Possible complications

All surgery brings a certain amount of risk and your plastic surgeon will have discussed this with you beforehand. After a rhinoplasty there could be some nose bleeding, which is why it’s important to rest and keep the head elevated. There could be infection, which you might notice first as an elevated temperature, or as nasal redness and pain. Little red spots could appear on the skin; these are burst blood vessels and if they occur are usually temporary. But sometimes they become permanent.

Revision rhinoplasty

This refers to follow-up surgery for correcting the first one. Your rhinoplasty surgeon and his staff will monitor your post-op progress closely so if any further surgery is indicated, they’ll know what to do.

It will take close to a year before you will see the final results.

Finding a good cosmetic surgeon

Since cosmetic surgery has become so popular in the last 10 years or so, some doctors have taken short cut training to take advantage of this at a disservice to the general public. You want a properly trained and experienced surgeon, not one who might gain his basic experience on you! Choose a plastic surgeon who’s certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and one who’s a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).

While you should by all means listen to your friends and acquaintances who may have had cosmetic surgery and want to recommend their doctor to you should do your homework too, and check the doctor’s credentials.

Some questions to ask when interviewing plastic surgeons

·         Do you have hospital privileges, and if so, which hospitals?

·         Can you do the procedure in the hospital if I want to?

·         If you do surgery in other facilities, are they accredited?

·         How many breast reductions have you done?

·         Can I speak to some of your previous patients about their experience with it?

Daniel Carr, Connor Hoppe, Matthew Josa and Ryan Hoffer got the Bears on the board right away as their 200-yard medley relay time of 1:26.07 provided a win in the opening event.

Nick Norman touched the wall first with a time of 9:04.39 in the 1000 free.

Mike Thomas led a 1-2-3 Cal finish in the 200 fly, finishing in a time of 1:44.96 to edge teammates Josa and Jack Xie. The Bears followed by taking the top four spots in the 50 free as Hoffer (19.79), Pawel Sendyk, Justin Lynch and Michael Jensen scored maximum points in the event.

Hoffer swam a 44.20 in the 100 free to earn his second win and Lynch and Jensen rounding out the top three. Freshman Bryce Mefford picked up a win in the 200 back with a time of 1:42.96, Norman secured his own double with a winning time of 4:26.28 in the 500 free, Josa won the 100 fly in 46.64 and Seliskar found the winner’s circle with a time of 1:45.09 in the 200 IM.

USC’s Dylan Carter held off Seliskar to win the 200 free in 1:33.24 in a pool record, breaking former Bear Tom Shields‘ mark of 1:33.70.

Robert Glinta followed with a win in the 100y back in 47.28 while Carsten Vissering, rounding into form in his second meet of the season, won the 100 breast in USC season-best 52.66.

Films Made by Mobile Phones

Two College Classes at the Exhibition

The students of the PPP classes 1CO and 2CO visited an interactive exhibition about  films made by mobile phones, created by adolescents. The exhibition was organized by the University of Zürich.

Mobile phones are used for many purposes. Next to the obvious purposes mobile phones are used for filming events found worth to remember or to be shown. The exhibition showed various films adolescents had taken, looking at questions like: Why do adolescents film with their mobile phones? What do theses films look like? Since when do we take films with mobile phones? The films showed every day situations filmed with a mobile phone, including the film which 2015 was awarded for the best film done with a mobile phone.

Filming with mobile phones often appears to be more authentic than photos or professional films just because they are sometimes blurred and fuzzy. So the atmosphere appears to be more realistic. Also the sense of togetherness of the affected group is consolidated. And the person who gets himself filmed can show off with some trick or performance.

Obviously there are negative effects of everybody being able to film with a mobile phone everything and everywhere. By law one may not film anybody without approval.  Contrary to the impression that is often given by  the media,  most of the films taken with the private mobile phones  are just for private use. To remember an important moment and to share this moment  with friends.
