You would think that investors would learn from their mistakes. For example, a lot of Wall Street analysts – two dozen of them in fact – have egg on their faces after missing the disaster at Valeant Pharmaceuticals, a stock that I warned about last October when it was trading at $170 per share. Today, with VRX stock down under $30 per share, the financial media and Wall Street has finally figured out what Sure Money readers knew before the rest of the crowd – that the pharmaceutical company was a house of cards built on a foundation of debt and a toxic business model.
Right now, my readers are about to get in ahead of the curve once again.
There is another stock market darling that has many similarities to Valeant – phony financial statements, a CEO spending overtime pimping investors and hedge funds into the stock, a mesmerized financial media, and a grossly overvalued stock – Tesla Motors, Inc. (TSLA).
In its defense, it must be said that unlike Valeant, which takes advantage of the sick by overcharging them for drugs, Tesla is trying to do something noble by building electric vehicles. But these vehicles are primarily toys for rich people and subsidized by U.S. taxpayers, so the company’s nobility goes only so far.
And on a financial basis, TSLA is a ticking time bomb.
Here’s why you should get out of TSLA right now – and here’s how to profit.
Tesla Has All the Hallmarks of a Cult Stock
While the financial media and Wall Street analysts suck up to Tesla’s founder, Elon Musk, they ignore the fact that the company is running through billions of dollars of cash while running a massive Ponzi game on consumers. In the last quarter, the company lost $19,059 for every car it sold (despite a starting selling price of over $70,000). Its negative net margin was -24.6% compared to -16.4% a year ago. It promised to produce 200,000 cars in 2017, 500,000 cars in 2018 and 1,000,000 in 2010 but only expects to manufacture 17,000 in the second quarter of this year. The odds of the company meeting these projections are about as high as the odds of Hillary Clinton starting to tell the truth. In the first quarter of 2016, Tesla burned $249.6 million in cash in operations, almost twice as much as a year earlier ($131.8 million). It also spent $233.8 million in capex, which it considered a victory since it was less than the the $432.3 million it spenta year earlier. It raised $715.4 million to pay for this, up from $186.2 million a year earlier. But it’s going to have to spend a heck of a lot more to come close to reaching its absurd projection targets.
Not to mention the fact that the cars themselves are literally at the bottom of the reliability list:
At this rate, Elon Musk is going to give carnival barkers a bad name.
In order to plug the hole in its finances, the company just sold $1.4 billion in stock (and Musk sold another $600 million to pay taxes on egregious stock option grants). At the rate the company is running through cash, this new monty will last only for little more than a year. The company should have taken the opportunity to sell $5 billion of stock. Its cult members – excuse me, I mean its investors – would have happily paid more than $200 per share for that many shares. It is going to be much more difficult to raise capital when the company really needs it – after the bottom falls out.
Tesla has all of the hallmarks of a cult stock. Like Valeant Pharmaceuticals, which pimped every hedge fund and Wall Street analyst into buying it until the stock reached a ridiculous $263 per share while ignoring a rotting balance sheet filled with tens of billions of dollars of debt and goodwill on top of a corrupt business model that preyed on sick people and the American taxpayers that pay their bills, Tesla has enlisted Wall Street to suck in gullible investors and consumers.
Not that Wall Street needed much convincing.
On May 19, 2016, Goldman Sachs published a research report ludicrously comparing Elon Musk to Henry Ford and Steve Jobs while ignoring obvious flaws in how the company does business. Even worse, Goldman used these bogus comparisons to paste a $250 per share price target on the stock one day before the company disclosed that it had hired – surprise! – Goldman to lead the stock sale described above.
If you think that Goldman didn’t have the order to sell the stock in its pocket at the time it issued its giddily bullish report, you don’t know how Wall Street works. And if you believe that the so-called Chinese wall between the research department and investment banking kept its analyst in the dark about the upcoming stock offering, you are a fool. This is crony capitalism and Wall Street corruption at its worst. While regulators are nitpicking every wealth manager and banker in the world over trivial compliance nonsense, Goldman Sachs flouted obvious conflict-of-interest rules and made the SEC look like a bunch of fools.
Goldman’s report argued that Tesla’s already absurdly overvalued stock was too cheap: “Following a 23% decline in the share price post the Model 3 unveil, we do not believe Tesla shares are fully capturing the company’s disruptive potential.” “Disruptive potential” is one of those meaningless terms that analysts use that allow them to put any price on a stock that they want. Goldman downplays the fact that a dozen other companies already manufacture or are moving forward on plans for electric or hydrogen vehicles to compete with Tesla. The only company about to get disrupted is Tesla.
Not to be outdone, however, the analyst at Goldman’s co-manager on the deal, Morgan Stanley, has an even more ridiculous $465 per share price target based on claims that Tesla will not only revolutionize the auto business but the battery business as well. You can see how 24 analysts had “buy” recommendations on Valeant until the stock finally collapsed under $50 per share.
Behind The Glittering Façade, Tesla Is Bleeding – Badly
Speaking of Valeant, Tesla has concocted a scheme that puts Valeant’s worst abuses to shame. Naturally the financial press and Wall Street are cheering on Tesla in this masterful example of a Ponzi scheme and a better example of why financial journalism and analysis deserves the moniker “dumb and dumber.”
In the company’s recent earnings release, it announced that it collected $1,000 refundable deposits from 373,000 customers for its new Model 3 that won’t launch until late 2017 (assuming it launches at all). It noted, “We have obtained this level of reservations…with only a few social media posts” as though it didn’t have half the financial media broadcasting what it was doing. But even that omission doesn’t properly capture the sheer idiocy of the company’s comment. Elon Musk likes to drop tweets about the company like giant turds out of the sky promising new product launches and all kinds of surprises that investors slop up like fools, but behind the PT Barnum act the company is bleeding while making promises that it is not going to be able to keep.
Alarmingly (at least to anyone who actually thinks about things these days), Tesla didn’t stick this money in an escrow account; instead, these funds are sitting in its general account and will be rapidly consumed in operations. Does the SEC even read the papers anymore? And CNBC and the rest of the media sycophants cheered on the company’s reckless financial practices. Welcome to finance in the Age of Obama.
Leave aside for the moment the fact that Tesla produces very expensive cars for very wealthy people. Or that these wealthy people who buy is cars are subsidized to the tune of $7500 per vehicle by the U.S. government (the $7500 federal tax credit begins phasing out after the company sells 200,000 vehicles, a number the company isn’t close to reaching). A deeper look at Tesla’s financial statements – an exercise in which Wall Street analysts no longer engage (how do we know that? – look at what happened at Valeant Pharmaceuticals) – reveals a company running on fumes.
Tesla is a study in the use of non-GAAP earnings adjustments to create a false picture of financial health. Tesla uses a variety of non-GAAP adjustments from the common to the ridiculous. The common include phony stock option accounting adjustments that understate executive compensation expenses, something widely used by corporations and especially tech companies. But then there are more arcane adjustments. For example, Tesla pumps up its earnings for early extinguishment of loans it receives from the U.S. government – remember, Tesla’s business is heavily subsidized by the government due to its production of electric cars. The company has earned a lot of money from government subsidies in its early year of existence.
And then there is an adjustment that is little more than fiction – Tesla pumps up its earnings by an entry called “Model S gross profit deferred due to lease accounting” – and if that sounds confusing it is. First, while the company uses the term “lease accounting,” this line item relates to cars that the company sells, not to cars it leases. Tesla guarantees to buy back all Model S vehicles it sells after between 36 and 39 months old for 50 percent of their value. It expects to make money by reselling these cars and reports that expected profit (whether realized or not) as gross profit that it uses to adjust upward its earnings – hence the line item “Model gross profit deferred due to lease accounting.” But this is just a management estimate and not an actual number. Tesla defers the residual value it is obligated to pay to repurchase these vehicles until the 36-39 month period expires and carries that value on its balance sheet as an asset where it is depreciated. As of March 31, 2016, the company had $2.24 billion of “Operating lease vehicles” on its balance sheet, up from $1.8 billion three months earlier at December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, it had $192.4 million of guarantees that were exercisable by customers over the next 12 months, up from $136.8 million three months earlier at December 31, 2015. This is a huge and growing cash liability for a company that already has massive capital expenditure needs to meet in order to increase its ambitious – and likely unachievable – production schedule.
How to Play the Tesla Disaster
There are some simple rules of thumb in investing. One of the most important is “keep it simple.” Tesla, like Valeant, violates that principle at every turn. While I don’t hesitate to recommend that investors avoid the stock at all costs and even short it through long-dated puts, there is one risk to doing so that must be acknowledged – the possibility that the company could be acquired by a cash-rich company like Apple, Inc. (AAPL) or Alphabet, Inc. (GOOG). For that reason, I would limit any short sale to buying put options. But the one thing I would not do is touch this company with a ten-foot pole. Without being acquired, this stock should trade in the low double digits.
If you are interested in buying puts on TSLA, I recommend the TSLA January 2017 $100 puts (TSLA170120P00100000). At this writing, they’re trading at about $1.35; pay no more than $1.50.
Sincerely,

DES MOINES (The Borowitz Report)—New reports indicating that Ben Carson might not have actually stabbed anyone during his youth have sent the retired neurosurgeon plummeting in the latest Republican Presidential polls.
Carson supporters, reeling from the news that their candidate’s past might have been devoid of stabbing, have deserted his candidacy in droves, suggesting that Republican voters viewed Carson’s stabbing as a key part of his résumé.
Indeed, a recent University of Minnesota poll showed that a full third of Carson supporters singled out “his stabbing experience” as a top reason for supporting him for the nation's highest office.
In Iowa, where Carson was the front-runner before the non-stabbing bombshell hit, voters like Carol Foyler, of Des Moines, expressed dismay and disillusionment that the retired doctor might have fabricated his stabbing exploits to make himself more appealing to Republican voters.
“I was on the fence about Ben Carson, but the stabbing thing really won me over,” she said. “Now, I don’t know what to think.” | positive |
A GROUP of skateboarders have been spotted on the roof of Ocean Terminal shopping centre.
A worker returning home on Tuesday pictured the trio casually sitting on the roof with their legs dangling over the edge.
It is not known how the group accessed the roof or whether centre staff were alerted.
The man, who asked not to be named, said: “They were up on the roof above the Ocean Terminal - I don’t know how they managed to get up there.
“It just seemed like there was no security. I don’t know how they managed to get up which is quite worrying.
“I just took a few pictures because you wouldn’t believe it if you said it - you’d think Ocean Terminal would be locked down.
“One of them had a skateboard. They obviously don’t understand the trouble they’ll get into if they get caught.”
The Evening News has contacted Ocean Terminal for comment. | positive |
Pager communications in industrial environments often run over unencrypted channels, creating a hacker risk in the process.
Industries such as energy, manufacturing, and transportation still make extensive use of pager technologies that have been superseded in other sectors of the economy. Researchers at Trend Micro warn that criminals might easily monitor the unencrypted pager data being sent by companies using a only a $20 dongle and some software defined radio know-how, as a blog post by Trend Micro explains.
Our analysis of unencrypted pager messages in countries like the US and Canada revealed that critical infrastructure sectors like nuclear power plants, substations, power generation plants, chemical plants, defense contractors, and other industrial environments like semiconductor and commercial manufacturers, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) companies are still using pagers to this day. Unfortunately, we discovered that communication through pagers is not secure at all. Since pager messages are typically unencrypted, attackers can view pager messages even at a distance—the only thing attackers need is a combination of some know-how on software-defined radio (SDR) and US$20 for a dongle.
Data gathered can include email addresses, project codes, and employee names, excellent fodder for subsequent (highly targeted) social engineering attacks. Alarm/event notifications (on leaks, mechanical failures, deviations, etc.), diagnostic information and information on ICS or SCADA devices and network configurations are also leaked through the insecure channel.
Organisations that are still using pagers are advised to switch to an encrypted paging system with asymmetric keys, Trend Micro recommends. More details can be found in a white paper entitled Leaking Beeps: Unencrypted Pager Messages in the Healthcare Industry by Trend Micro here (pdf).
Previous research by Trend Micro addressed the related problems posed by unencrypted pager comms in healthcare. ® | positive |

A public college in Wisconsin is moving two historic paintings out of the public eye after the school’s Diversity Leadership Team warned they could be psychologically devastating for American Indian students.
Since 1936, two large murals by Cal Peters portraying early Wisconsin history have dominated the common area of Harvey Hall at the University of Wisconsin-Stout (UW-Stout). One mural shows French fur traders and American Indians traveling down the Red Cedar River by canoe, while another portrays a wooden fort constructed by the French. Neither painting shows any violence at all.
But now, after 80 years, the murals are abruptly being given the heave-ho after concerns were raised that the paintings are offensive.
School chancellor Bob Meyer says some American Indian students have objected to what the paintings show. (RELATED: 90 Percent Of Indians Aren’t Offended By The Redskins)
“When they look at the art, to them it symbolizes an era of their history where land and possessions were taken away from them, and they feel bad when they look at them,” Meyer told Wisconsin Public Radio.
In addition, UW-Stout’s Diversity Leadership Team complained about the murals to Meyer, arguing their presence helped to perpetuate racial stereotypes.
The diversity team’s arguments carried the day, and Meyer released a statement saying they were being taken down. Because of the risk the paintings could have a “harmful effect” on viewers, Meyer said they were only suitable for a “controlled gallery space” that could provide appropriate “context” for the viewer. But UW-Stout contains no such controlled galleries, so instead the paintings are being placed outside the public eye. One will go into a dean’s conference room, while another will be placed in Harvey Hall’s library.
Meyer claims his decision is strictly business and isn’t about trying to be politically correct.
“We want to make sure that, really, what we decorate our hallways with and what we put in our hallways is consistent with our values to try to attract more Native Americans to the university,” Meyer said.

THE TRUE COST OF CAR COMMUTING HOW MUCH IS YOUR COMMUTE COSTING YOU? THE TRUE COST OF CAR COMMUTING Apr 24, 2017 by Casey Coates Danson [Translate] It’s like the world doesn’t want you to own a car. Everywhere you turn, there is yet another compelling reason to ditch your vehicle or trade it in for a bicycle or a nice pair of running shoes. Cars in most cases, are a financial liability. If you’re not a taxi driver or using your car for a cab or hire service, it is probably costing you a staggering amount of money, not to mention contributing negatively to the environment. However, the justification is that a car saves you time, is more convenient, and makes life easier, thus saving you money… These might sound like valid points, but on further analysis they may not be as valid as we might think. The infographic below from InvestmentZen shows how your daily commute to work could not only cost you thousands of dollars per year on average, but could also cost you well over a million dollars over your life span in terms of the opportunities lost. The calculation factors in depreciation, gas, maintenance, lost wages and mileage. As much as saving money is important, InvestmentZen also considered how that money could have been channelled towards something more meaningful, like retirement planning. The next time you drive your car to work, this will not only give you a clear idea of what you are doing with your money, but also what you have to do to recuperate it. Consider all the various options: car pools, public transportation, relocation and cycling, based on what is realistic for you. The decision you make today will go a long way to improving your personal life, traffic gridlocks and of course, other city-wide sustainability efforts.

Indian Arrival Day is a holiday celebrated on various days in the nations of the Caribbean and the island nation of Mauritius, usually commemorating the arrival of people from the Indian subcontinent to that nation as indentured labour brought by European colonial authorities and their agents.
By country [ edit ]
Grenada [ edit ]
The 100th anniversary of the first arrival of Indians in Grenada was commemorated in 1957. This was the first ever commemoration of the day in Grenada. The next commemoration would occur more than five decades later in 2009.[1][2] On 29 April 2009, the Government of Grenada declared that the 1st of May would officially be designated as Indian Arrival Day and observed annually alongside the existing Labour Day. The date was already a public holiday in Grenada, on account of Labour Day. The Government also announced that Boucherie Road, the road leading to the site of the arrival of the Maidstone, would be officially renamed Maidstone Road to honour the arrival of Indians in Grenada.[3] The renaming was officially carried out in a ceremony at 10:30 AM at La Fortune Junction, St. Patrick on 2 May 2009. Governor General Sir Carlyle Glean unveiled a granite plaque commemorating the arrival of the first Indians in Grenada. The plaque bears the inscription, "On 1st May 1857, in this bay the sailing vessel “Maidstone” anchored and landed 287 passengers having left India three months earlier, with 304 passengers. Between the years 1857 and 1890 other ships anchored in this and other bays bringing a total of 3,200 persons from India to work as agricultural indenture labourers in Grenada. This monument is dedicated to those who became the genesis of the Indo-Grenadian population of our nation”.[4]
Guyana [ edit ]
In Guyana the holiday is celebrated on May 5 commemorating the first arrival of indentured labourers from India to the country, on May 5, 1838. On this day, the workers arrived in Guyana to work in sugar plantations. Their descendants today comprise 44 percent of Guyana's population of over 750,000.[5]
Jamaica [ edit ]
In 1995, the Government of Jamaica proclaimed May 10 Indian Heritage Day in recognition of the Indians’ contribution to the social and economic development of the country. The arrival of the Indians more than 170 years ago is commemorated in stamps.[6]
Mauritius [ edit ]
In Mauritius, the holiday is celebrated on November 2 to commemorate the arrival of Indian labourers.
Saint Lucia [ edit ]
The Indian Diaspora of St. Lucia, an association promoting Indo-Saint Lucian heritage, organized the first Indian Arrival Day celebrations in Saint Lucia on 6 May 2013. The association is campaigning for the Saint Lucian government to officially declare the 6th of May as Indian Arrival Day.[7][8] Many other Caribbean nations observe Indian Arrival Day annually to commemorate the date when the first Indians arrived in their respective countries.[9]
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines [ edit ]
The Parliament of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines enacted an Act of Parliament on 26 March 2007 officially declaring the 1st of June as Indian Arrival Day. The first official commemoration of the event was held on 1 June that year.[10] The day is marked annually by a re-enactment of the landing of Indians at Indian Bay, Kingstown, followed by a procession to Heritage Square. Several Indian cultural events are also held to mark the occasion.[11] The first International Indian Diaspora Conference was held for the first time on 1-3 June 2012. It was organized by the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Chapter of the Global Organization of People of Indian Origin International (GOPIO-SVG), in partnership with the SVG Indian Heritage Foundation, and under the patronage of the SVG Ministry of Tourism and Culture. This was the first international conference for the Indian diaspora held in the country. Similar conferences had been held in other Caribbean nations since 1975.[12][13]
The Government of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines officially designated the 7th of October as Indian Heritage Day.[14]
Suriname [ edit ]
In Suriname, Indian Arrival Day is celebrated on June 5.
Trinidad and Tobago [ edit ]
In Trinidad and Tobago Indian Arrival Day is celebrated on May 30th. Trinidad and Tobago was the first country to start this holiday.
History [ edit ]
Indian Arrival Day was first celebrated in Skinner Park, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago, as the East Indian Centenary on May 30, 1945[15] which marked the hundredth anniversary of the coming of Indians to Trinidad. The Acting Governor representing the Government of the United Kingdom attended indicating the significance of the observance. Other local dignitaries who addressed the large crowd included Timothy Roodal, George Fitzpatrick, Adrian Cola Rienzi, and Murli J. Kirpalani. Greetings were also read from Mahatma Gandhi, Lord Wavell, and Colonel Stanley, the Secretary of State for the Colonies.
After the 1945 Centenary extravaganza, however, the celebration of the anniversary of May 30 gradually declined. By the 1950s, the Indians who were on the Fatel Razack as immigrants to Trinidad and Tobago were brought as "coolie" indentured laborers. By the early seventies only the Indian group was the Hindu Divine Life Society of the Chaguanas was staging an annual procession and ceremony under the name Indian Emigration Day.
Indian Emigration Day, as it was called then, had been celebrated by various organizations after 1945 with limited success. By 1973 the latest was organized by the Divine Life Society, which had organized small annual processions in Chaguanas for Indian Emigration Day. By the late seventies even that small remembrance was dwindling.
In 1976 the Indian Revival and Reform Association (IRRA) was formed. They were concerned about racism against Indians and were interested in developing ideas, writing pamphlets to bring about an Indian revival and renewed pride in Indian heritage and Indian culture. The IRRA wanted to preserve the good things about Indian heritage and reform the ones that were no longer useful or relevant. The anniversary of the coming of Indians to Guyana was one of the good things that came to the IRRA notice.
In 1977 IRRA formed committee was established to revive the memory of the coming of Indians to Trinidad on May 30, 1845 – Indian Emigration Day. The initial historic Committee comprised Anand Rameshwar Singh, Khalique Khan, Ramdath Jagessar, Rajiv Sieunarine, Azamudeen "Danny" Jang, Michael Sankar and Rajesh Harricharan. The following year Rajnie Ramlakhan, Anand Maharaj and Ashok Gobin joined in the group's celebration.
The first active step was taken in early 1978, when they produced and distributed an onepage pamphlet with the title “Indian Emigration Day May 30, 1978”. It gave a brief account of the coming of Indians in 1845, and the importance of the event. The names of the first pioneers on the Fatel Razack were listed, and there was a short description of the achievements of Indians in Trinidad since 1845. The Trinidad Express carried a press release, and the Trinidad Guardian printed an article by Kusha Haracksingh on the voyage of the Fatel Razack. Mastana Bahar dedicated a show to Indian Emigration Day. San Fernando Secondary School organized a celebration.
A major turning point occurred in 1979 when the group expanded by approaching the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha. The SDMS Secretary General Satnarayan Maharaj receptive to the idea, agreed to organize a major celebration at Lakshmi Girls College on May 27, 1979. IRRA and the SDMS in discussions agreed that Indians were no longer emigrants to Trinidad and Tobago, but citizens who had arrived 134 years before. Coming out of this discussion the name was then changed to Indian Arrival Day.
The 1979 celebration was a great success and included the presence of some of the original immigrants born in British India. Government ministers Sham and Kamal Mohammed were there, as was the Indian High Commissioner and Presbyterian Church moderator Idris Hamid. The event was widely covered by the local media and immediately knew about the event. In fact it took just two years and an idea to revive the memory of the Arrival of Indians in Trinidad and Tobago to awaken the entire Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago.
Subsequent years the Hindu Seva Sangh and other smaller groups approached the IRRA for guidance in developing in various communities throughout Trinidad and Tobago. By 1980 Indian Arrival Day celebrations were held at the Spring Village, Cedros, Couva, Penal, San Juan, Chaguanas, and many other parts of the country. The National Joint Action Committee, the Catholic Church, other churches, libraries, masjids, mandirs, and schools at this point joined in the observances. In a remarkably short time, Indian Arrival Day was sweeping through the country. By 1985 there were more than 10 significant Indian Arrival Day celebrations taking place. The Hindu community took the lead in the development of the celebrations.
In 1991 Members of Parliament Trevor Sudama and Raymond Pallackdarrysingh first introduced to the House of Representatives the concept that Indian Arrival Day should be made a national public holiday. This call to make Indian Arrival Day a public holiday continued to be unheeded until 1995 Prime Minister Patrick Manning declared that the 150th Anniversary would be a public holiday called Indian Arrival Day, but thereafter the holiday will be called Arrival Day. The 1995 celebrations surpassed the 1945 celebrations with the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha having major celebrations in Trinidad and Tobago
In 1996 Prime Minister Basdeo Panday declared that 30 May would be known as Indian Arrival Day and not Arrival Day. However, in the birthplace of Indian Arrival Day – Trinidad and Tobago – there is a lobby to remove the word 'Indian' from the name. In the 1990s the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha expanded the Indian Arrival Day celebrations and dubbed May as "Indian Month" which ends on Indian Arrival Day.
Similar observances in other countries [ edit ]
Since its establishment in Trinidad and Tobago, Indian Arrival Day has given rise to similar celebrations in Grenada,[16] the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. However, there is no similar celebration in Fiji, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Tanzania, or Kenya, which are also home to large Indian-origin populations. | positive |
This article is about a tax levied on transactions in the financial sector. For APT Tax--a small tax levied on each transaction in an economy, see Automated Payment Transaction tax
A financial transaction tax is a levy on a specific type of financial transaction for a particular purpose. The concept has been most commonly associated with the financial sector; it is not usually considered to include consumption taxes paid by consumers.[1]
A transaction tax is not a levy on financial institutions per se; rather, it is charged only on the specific transactions that are designated as taxable. So if an institution never carries out the taxable transaction, then it will never be subject to the transaction tax.[2] Furthermore, if an institution carries out only one such transaction, then it will only be taxed for that one transaction. As such, this tax is neither a financial activities tax (FAT), nor a Financial stability contribution (FSC), or "bank tax",[3] for example. This clarification is important in discussions about using a financial transaction tax as a tool to selectively discourage excessive speculation without discouraging any other activity (as John Maynard Keynes originally envisioned it in 1936).[4]
There are several types of financial transaction taxes. Each has its own purpose. Some have been implemented, while some are only proposals. Concepts are found in various organizations and regions around the world. Some are domestic and meant to be used within one nation; whereas some are multinational.[5] In 2011 there were 40 countries that made use of FTT, together raising $38 billion (€29bn).[6][7]
History of the concept [ edit ]
The year 1694 saw an early implementation of a financial transaction tax in the form of a stamp duty at the London Stock Exchange. The tax was payable by the buyer of shares for the official stamp on the legal document needed to formalize the purchase. As of 2011 , it is the oldest tax still in existence in Great Britain.[8]
The United States instituted a transfer tax on all sales or transfers of stock in The Revenue Act of 1914 (Act of 22 October 1914 (ch. 331, 38 Stat. 745)). Instead of a fixed tax amount per transaction, the tax was in the amount of 0.2% of the transaction value (20 basis points, bips). This was doubled to 0.4% (40 bips) in 1932, in the context of the Great Depression, then eliminated in 1966.
In 1936, in the wake of the Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes advocated the wider use of financial transaction taxes.[4][9]:105 He proposed the levying of a small transaction tax on dealings on Wall Street, in the United States, where he argued excessive speculation by uninformed financial traders increased volatility (see Keynes financial transaction tax below).
In 1972 the Bretton Woods system for stabilizing currencies effectively came to an end. In that context, James Tobin, influenced by the work of Keynes, suggested his more specific currency transaction tax for stabilizing currencies on a larger global scale.[10]
In 1989, at the Buenos Aires meetings of the International Institute of Public Finance, University of Wisconsin-Madison Professor of Economics Edgar L. Feige proposed extending the tax reform ideas of John Maynard Keynes,[11] James Tobin[12] and Lawrence Summers,[13] to their logical conclusion, namely to tax all transactions.[14] Feige's Automated Payment Transaction tax (APT tax) proposed taxing the broadest possible tax base at the lowest possible tax rate.[15][16] Since financial transactions account for the greatest component of the APT tax base, and since all financial transactions are taxed, the proposal eliminates substitution possibilities for evasion and avoidance. The goal of the APT tax is to significantly improve economic efficiency, enhance stability in financial markets, and reduce to a minimum the costs of tax administration (assessment, collection, and compliance costs).[17][18] The Automated Payment Transaction tax proposal was presented to the President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform in 2005.[19]
As the EU, European free trade and Euro came together, various financial transaction taxes were considered openly. One non-tax regulatory equivalent of Tobin's narrow tax, to require "non-interest bearing deposit requirements on all open foreign exchange positions", was considered in particularly but rejected.[20] During the 1980s the Chicago School view became dominant, that speculation served a vital purpose in keeping currencies accurately reflecting the prospects of their economies, and that even very short term transactions in response to news could in fact reflect fundamental analysis.
Economic literature of the period 1990s-2000s emphasized that derivatives and other variations in the terms of payment in trade-related transactions (so-called "swaps" for instance) provided a ready means of evading any tax other than the Automated Payment Transaction tax since it uniformly taxed all transactions. Other measures and exemptions from such transaction taxes, to avoid punishing hedging (a form of insurance for cashflows) were also proposed. These tended to lead to generally more complex schemes that were not implemented, in part due to lack of standardization of risk reporting under the Basel I framework, which was itself a response to 1980s financial speculation crises.
However, disclosure had not kept pace with practices. Regulators and policy-makers and theorists by the 1990s had to deal with increasingly complex financial engineering and the "avoidance by change of product mix... market participants would have an incentive to substitute out of financial instruments subject to the tax and into instruments not subject to it. In this fashion, markets would innovate so as to avoid the tax" as they were doing with the creation of financial derivatives. "The real issue is how to design a tax that takes account of all the methods and margins of substitution that investors have for changing their patterns of activity to avoid the tax. [as] suggested by Pollin et al. (1999)." - Palley, 2000 [21] The global adoption of a small flat rate Automated Payment Transaction tax whose base included all transactions would eliminate evasion and avoidance possibilities since the tax would apply equally at all substitution margins. Advocates including Pollin, Palley and Baker (2000) [22] emphasized that transaction taxes "have clearly not prevented the efficient functioning of" financial markets in the 20th century.
Many theorists raised the issue that hedging and speculation were more of a spectrum than a distinct duality of goals. "Academic studies (e.g. Bodnar et al, 1998) show that companies usually incorporate predictions of future price levels (i.e. a ‘view’) when executing hedges (a fact which will come as no surprise to most risk management practitioners). If hedging is really just about reducing risk, then why should our expectations of future market direction have any bearing on our hedging decisions? If we hedge 50% of our exposure, instead of 80% or 100%, because we feel that the price / rate of the underlying exposure is more likely to move in our favour, does this meet the criteria for speculation?...On one level (at the extremes), there is no doubt that hedging and speculation are very different activities. However, once you move beyond the straightforward elimination of open positions, into more nuanced transactions involving complex hedging strategies or tenuous relationships between hedges and exposures, the distinction between a hedge and a bet becomes increasingly vague."[23]
To avoid this problem, most proposals emphasized taxing clearly speculative high-volume very-short-term (seconds to hours) transactions that could not in general reflect any change of fundamental exposure or cashflow expectation. Some of these emphasized the automated nature of the trade. FTT proposals often emerge in response to specific crisis. For example, the December 1994 Mexican peso crisis reduced confidence in its currency. In that context, Paul Bernd Spahn re-examined the Tobin tax, opposed its original form, and instead proposed his own version in 1995.[24]
In the context of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, many economists, governments, and organizations around the world re-examined, or were asked to re-examine, the concept of a financial transaction tax, or its various forms. As a result, various new forms of financial transaction taxes were proposed, such as the EU financial transaction tax. The outcry after this crisis had major political, legal and economic fallout. By the 2010s the Basel II and Basel III frameworks required reporting that would help to differentiate hedging from speculation.[25] Economic thought was tending to reject the belief that they could not be differentiated, or (as the "Chicago School" had held) should not be. However, even Basel III did not require detailed enough disclosure of risk to enable a clear differentiation of hedging vs. speculation.
As another example of an FTT proposal as a warning to speculators, or as response to crisis, in March 2016 China drafted rules to impose a genuine currency transaction tax and this was referred to in financial press as a Tobin tax [1]. This was widely viewed as a warning to curb shorting of its currency the yuan. It was however expected to keep this tax at 0% initially, calculating potential revenue from different rate schemes and exemptions, and not to impose the actual tax unless speculation increased.
Also in 2016 US Democratic Party POTUS nominee Hillary Clinton asserted that speculation had "placed stress on our markets, created instability, and enabled unfair and abusive trading strategies" and that as POTUS she would seek to "impose a tax on harmful high-frequency trading and reform rules to make our stock markets fairer, more open, and transparent.".[26] However, the term "high-frequency" implied that only a few large volume transaction players engaged in arbitrage would likely be affected. In this respect, Clinton was following the general 1990s trend to focus on automated transactions in particular, those which could not reflect any genuine human-reviewed fundamental risk or hedge analysis.
She also vowed to "Impose a risk fee on the largest financial institutions. Big banks and financial companies would be required to pay a fee based on their size and their risk of contributing to another crisis." How such fees would be assessed, and whether they amounted to a tax, were an active topic of speculation in the financial community, which expected them to follow Basel III definitions with further refinements.
Purpose [ edit ]
Although every financial transaction tax (FTT) proposal has its own specific intended purpose, there are some general intended purposes which are common to most of them. Below are some of those general commonalities. The intended purpose may or may not be achieved.
Curbing volatility of financial markets
In 1936, when Keynes first proposed a financial transaction tax, he wrote, "Speculators may do no harm as bubbles on a steady stream of enterprise. But the situation is serious when enterprise becomes the bubble on a whirlpool of speculation."[9]:104–105 Rescuing enterprise from becoming "the bubble on a whirlpool of speculation" was also an intended purpose of the 1972 Tobin tax[27][28][29][30][31] and is a common theme in several other types of financial transaction taxes. For the specific type of volatility in specific areas, see each specific type of financial transaction taxes below. An exception to the purpose of "curbing of volatility" is likely the "bank transaction tax".
Curbing speculation without discouraging hedging
The role of large numbers of individual speculators willing to take both short and long positions without prejudice, does play some role in preventing price bubbles and asset inflation. However, excess speculation is often deemed not only a source of volatility but a distraction of talent and dangerous shift of focus for a developed economy. By contrast, hedging is necessary for the stability of enterprises. Tax schemes in general seek to tax speculation - seen as akin to gambling - while trying not to interfere with hedging (a form of insurance). A brief summary of the differences is that:[25]
hedging protects an existing investment against unforeseen price changes, while speculation takes on additional risk the investor could have avoided
hedging is a means to manage or limit price risk, while speculation actually relies on taking a risk for profit (and is in this respect similar to gambling)
hedging protects against price changes and makes them less relevant to the overall price of outputs sold to the public, while speculation incurs risk to make a profit specifically from price volatility
hedging is a form of insurance for risk averse investors, speculation is for those seeking more rapid returns through higher risk
It can be difficult to draw a clear distinction between hedging activities and speculation "if the actual exposure cannot be clearly ascertained, then differentiating between a hedging transaction and a speculative trade can become very complicated; if the impact of the underlying exposure is opaque, then the risk-reducing impact of the hedge becomes obscured (if it ever existed)...once you move beyond the straightforward elimination of open positions, into more nuanced transactions involving complex hedging strategies or tenuous relationships between hedges and exposures, the distinction between a hedge and a bet becomes increasingly vague" - [2]. In general the advocates of financial transaction tax point to Basel III and other treaties and regulations that have increasingly required disclosure to make it easier to ascertain the degree of hedging or speculation in a given transaction or set of transactions.[21]
Sheer duration of a holding is the most cogent clue: Day traders all engage in speculation by definition. [3].
More fair and equitable tax collection
Another common theme is the proposed intention to create a system of more fair and equitable tax collection. The Automated Payment Transaction tax (APT tax) taxes the broadest possible tax base, namely all transactions including all real and financial asset transactions. Instead of introducing progressivity through the tax rate structure, the flat rate APT tax introduces progressiveness through the tax base since the highest income and wealth groups undertake a disproportionate share of financial transactions.[32] In the context of the financial crisis of 2007–2008, many economists, governments, and organizations around the world re-examined, or were asked to re-examine, the concept of a financial transaction tax, or its various forms. In response to a request from the G20 nations, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) delivered a report in 2010 titled "A Fair and Substantial Contribution by the Financial Sector" which made reference to a financial transaction tax as one of several options.[33][34]
According to several leading figures, the "fairness" aspect of a financial transaction tax has eclipsed, and/or replaced, "prevention of volatility" as the most important purpose for the tax. Fraser Reilly-King of Halifax Initiative is one such economist.[35] He proposes that an FTT would not have addressed the root causes of the United States housing bubble which, in part, triggered the financial crisis of 2007–2008. Nevertheless, he sees an FTT as important for bringing a more equitable balance to the taxation of all parts of the economy.[35]
Less susceptible to tax evasion than alternatives
According to some economists, a financial transaction tax is less susceptible to tax avoidance and tax evasion than other types of taxes proposed for the financial sector. The Automated Payment Transaction tax (APT tax)[36] employs 21st century technology for automatically assessing and collecting taxes when transactions are settled through the electronic technology of the banking payments system. Joseph Stiglitz, former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank affirmed the "technical feasibility" of the tax. Although Tobin said his tax idea was unfeasible in practice, Stiglitz noted that modern technology meant that was no longer the case and said that the tax is "much more feasible today" than a few decades ago, when Tobin disagreed.[37] Fraser Reilly-King of Halifax Initiative also points out that the key issue and advantage of an FTT is its relatively superior functional ability to prevent tax evasion in the financial sector.[38] Economist Rodney Schmidt, principal researcher of The North-South Institute, also concurred that a financial transaction tax is more technically feasible than the "bank tax" proposed by the IMF in 2010.[39]
Types of financial transaction taxes [ edit ]
Transaction taxes can be raised on the sale of specific financial assets, such as stock, bonds or futures; they can be applied to currency exchange transactions; or they can be general taxes levied against a mix of different transactions.[4]
Securities transaction tax [ edit ]
John Maynard Keynes was among the first proponents of a securities transaction tax.[4] In 1936 he proposed that a small tax should be levied on dealings on Wall Street, in the United States, where he argued that excessive speculation by uninformed financial traders increased volatility. For Keynes, the key issue was the proportion of 'speculators' in the market, and his concern that, if left unchecked, these types of players would become too dominant.[4] Keynes writes: "The introduction of a substantial Government transfer tax on all transactions might prove the most serviceable reform available, with a view to mitigating the predominance of speculation over enterprise in the United States. (1936:159–60)"[4]
Currency transaction tax [ edit ]
A currency transaction tax is a tax placed on a specific type of currency transaction for a specific purpose. This term has been most commonly associated with the financial sector, as opposed to consumption taxes paid by consumers. The most frequently discussed versions of a currency transaction tax are the Tobin tax, Edgar L. Feige's Automated Payment Transaction tax and Spahn tax. The Automated Payment Transaction tax requires that all transactions be taxed regardless of the means of payment. As such, it proposes a unique tax on currency transactions collected at the time currency leaves or enters the banking system. Since each transaction mediated by currency can not be directly taxed, the APT tax proposes a brokerage fee on currency deposits and withdrawals that is some multiple of the flat transaction tax rate applied to all payments made via electronic payments mechanisms.
Tobin tax
In 1972 the economist James Tobin proposed a tax on all spot conversions of one currency into another. The so-called Tobin tax is intended to put a penalty on short-term financial round-trip excursions into another currency. Tobin suggested his currency transaction tax in 1972 in his Janeway Lectures at Princeton, shortly after the Bretton Woods system effectively ended.[10] In 2001, James Tobin looked back at the 1994 Mexican peso crisis, the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the 1998 Russian financial crisis, and said: "[My proposed] tax [idea] on foreign exchange transactions... dissuades speculators as many investors invest their money in foreign exchange on a very short-term basis. If this money is suddenly withdrawn, countries have to drastically increase interest rates for their currency to still be attractive. But high interest is often disastrous for a national economy, as the nineties' crises in Mexico, South East Asia and Russia have proven...."[27][28][29][30]
It is intended to put a penalty on short-term financial round-trip excursions into another currency
Spahn tax
Paul Bernd Spahn opposed the original form of a Tobin Tax in a Working Paper International Financial Flows and Transactions Taxes: Survey and Options, concluding "...the original Tobin tax is not viable. First, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between normal liquidity trading and speculative noise trading. If the tax is generally applied at high rates, it will severely impair financial operations and create international liquidity problems, especially if derivatives are taxed as well."[24] However, on 16 June 1995 Spahn suggested that "Most of the difficulties of the Tobin tax could be resolved, possibly with a two-tier rate structure consisting of a low-rate financial transactions tax and an exchange surcharge at prohibitive rates."[24] This new form of tax, the Spahn tax, was later approved by the Belgian Federal Parliament in 2004.[40]
It has a two-tier rate structure consisting of a low rate financial transactions tax and an exchange surcharge at prohibitive rates.
Special Drawing Rights
On 19 September 2001, retired speculator George Soros put forward a proposal, issuing special drawing rights (SDR) that the rich countries would pledge for the purpose of providing international assistance and the alleviation of poverty and other approved objectives. According to Soros this could make a substantial amount of money available almost immediately. In 1997, IMF member governments agreed to a one-time special allocation of SDRs, totaling approximately $27.5 billion. This is slightly less than 0.1% of the global GDP. Members having 71% of the total vote needed for implementation have already ratified the decision. All it needs is the approval of the United States Congress. If the scheme is successfully tested, it could be followed by an annual issue of SDRs and the amounts could be scaled up "so that they could have a meaningful impact on many of our most pressing social issues".[41]
Bank transaction tax [ edit ]
Between 1982 and 2002 Australia charged a bank account debits tax on customer withdrawals from bank accounts with a cheque facility. Some Latin American countries also experimented with taxes levied on bank transactions. Argentina introduced a bank transaction tax in 1984 before it was abolished in 1992. Brazil implemented its temporary "CPMF" in 1993, which lasted until 2007. The broad based tax levied on all debit (and/or credit) entries on bank accounts proved to be evasion-proof, more efficient and less costly than orthodox tax models.[42]
It often applies to deposits and withdrawals from bank accounts, often including checking accounts.
Automated payment transaction tax [ edit ]
In 1989, Edgar L. Feige proposed a synthesis and extension of the ideas of Keynes and Tobin by proposing a flat rate tax on all transactions.[17] The total volume of all transactions undertaken in an economy represents the broadest possible tax base and therefore requires the lowest flat tax rate to raise any requisite amount of revenue. Since financial transactions in stocks, bonds, international currency transactions and derivatives comprise most of the automated payment transaction (APT) tax base, it is in essence the broadest of financial transaction taxes. Initially proposed as a revenue neutral replacement for the entire Federal tax system of the United States,[43] it could alternatively be considered as a global tax whose revenues could be used by national governments to reduce existing income, corporate and VAT tax rates as well as reducing existing sovereign debt burdens. If adopted by all of the developed nations, it would have the advantage of eliminating all incentives for substitution between financial assets and between financial centers since all transactions would universally be taxed at the identical flat tax rate.
The foundations of the APT tax proposal—a small, uniform tax on all economic transactions—involve simplification, base broadening, reductions in marginal tax rates, the elimination of tax and information returns and the automatic collection of tax revenues at the payment source.
Implemented financial transaction taxes [ edit ]
In 2011 there were 40 countries that had FTT in operation, raising $38 billion (€29bn).[6]
Belgium [ edit ]
The Belgium securities tax applies to certain transactions concluded or executed in Belgium through a professional intermediary, to the extent that they relate to public funds, irrespective of their (Belgian or foreign) origin. The "tax on stock exchange transactions" is not due upon subscription of new securities (primary market transactions). Both buyers and sellers are subject to the tax. The tax rate varies in accordance with the type of transactions. A 0.09% tax (subject to a maximum of €1.300 per transaction) is charged for distributing shares of investment companies, certificates of contractual investment funds, bonds of the Belgian public debt or the public debt of foreign states, nominative or bearer bonds, certificates of bonds, etc. A 1.32% tax (subject to a maximum of €4.000 per transaction) is charged for accumulating shares of investment companies and 0.27% (subject to a maximum of €1.600 per transaction) for any other securities (such as shares). Transactions made for its own account by non-resident taxpayers and by some financial institutions, such as banks, insurance companies, organizations for financing pensions (OFPs) or collective investment are exempted from the tax.[44]
Colombia [ edit ]
In 1998 Colombia introduced a financial transaction tax of 0.2%,[45] covering all financial transactions including banknotes, promissory notes, processing of payments by way of telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, internet banking or other means, bank drafts and bank cheques, money on term deposit, overdrafts, installment loans, documentary and standby letters of credit, guarantees, performance bonds, securities underwriting commitments and other forms of off balance sheet exposures, safekeeping of documents and other items in safe deposit boxes, currency exchange, sale, distribution or brokerage, with or without advice, unit trusts and similar financial products. Currently the rate is 0.4%
Finland [ edit ]
Finland imposes a tax of 1.6% on the transfer of certain Finnish securities, mainly equities such as bonds, debt securities and derivatives. The tax is charged if the transferee and/or transferor is a Finnish resident or a Finnish branch of certain financial institutions. However, there are several exceptions. E.g. no transfer tax is payable if the equities in question are subject to trading on a qualifying market.[44] Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen (National Coalition Party) decided that Finland will not join a group of eleven other European Union states that have signed up to be at the forefront of preparing a financial transaction tax in November 2012. Other government parties the Green League, the Social Democratic Party of Finland and the Left Alliance had supporters of the tax.[46] Supporters of the tax are Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain and likely Estonia. For example, British banks opposed the tax. Supporters said: "We are delighted that the European FTT is moving from rhetoric to reality and will ensure banks pay for the damage they have caused; This shows it is possible to put the needs of the public over the profits of a privileged few. It's unforgivable in this age of austerity that the UK government is turning down billions in additional revenue to protect the City's elite."[47]
France [ edit ]
On 1 August 2012, France introduced a financial transaction tax in French tax regulation pursuant to Article 5 of the French Amended Finance Bill of 14 March 2012. Two other taxes applicable to financial transactions were also introduced, including a tax on high-frequency trading, (Article 235 ter ZD bis of the FTC); and a tax on naked sovereign credit default swaps (Article 235 ter ZD ter of the FTC). The FTT levies a 0.2% tax on stock purchases of French publicly traded companies with a market value over €1 billion. The scheme does not include debt securities, except convertible and exchangeable bonds, which are included but benefit from a dedicated exemption to the FTT.[48] According to French president Francois Hollande the tax will generate €170 million in additional revenue for 2012 and another €500 million in 2013.[49] France is the first European country to impose a transaction tax on share purchases.[50] From 2 January 2017 settlement date the rate increased to 0.3%.[51]
Greece [ edit ]
Listed shares acquired as of 1 January 2013 will no longer be subject to the sales tax; rather, any capital gains received will be added to the taxpayer's total income.[44]
India [ edit ]
Since 1 October 2004, India levies financial transaction taxes of up to 0.135% payable on the value of taxable securities transaction made through a recognized national stock exchange. The securities transaction tax (STT) is not applicable on off-market transactions. The tax rate is set at 0.125% on a delivery-based buy and sell, 0.025% on non-delivery-based transactions, and 0.017% on Futures and Options transactions. The tax has been criticized by the Indian financial sector and is currently under review.[52]
Italy [ edit ]
Since 1 March 2013, Italy levies financial transaction tax on qualified equity transactions of up to 0.2% (0.22% in 2013) of the value of the trade.[53][54] Financial transaction tax on derivatives of qualified equity transactions went into effect on 1 September 2013. The regulation is to apply the tax on the net balance of purchase and sale transactions executed same day on the same financial instrument by the same person/entity.
It is applicable to:
Shares issued by Italian resident companies with a capitalization equal or higher than 500 million euros;
Cash equity contracts;
Equity Derivatives contracts;
Instruments incorporating or representing the shares (ADR, GDR) regardless the residency of the issuer;
High Frequency Trading on cash equities and equity derivatives transactions. The liable party is the investor (net buyer) for cash equities and both parties of the derivatives contract.
Japan [ edit ]
Until 1999, Japan imposed a transaction tax on a variety of financial instruments, including debt instruments and equity instruments, but at differential rates. The tax rates were higher on equities than on debentures and bonds. In the late 1980s, the Japanese government was generating significant revenues of about $12 billion per year. The tax was eventually withdrawn as part of "big bang" liberalization of the financial sector in 1999.[citation needed]
Peru [ edit ]
In 2003 the Peruvian government introduced a 0.1% general financial transaction tax on all foreign currency denominated incoming wire transfers regardless of their country of origin, with the aim of raising finance for the education sector. The tax is to be assessed automatically but collected manually.[4]
Poland [ edit ]
Poland charges a 1% Civil Law Activities Tax (CLAT) on the sale or exchange of property rights, which includes securities and derivatives. The tax applies to transactions, which are performed in Poland or which grant property rights that are to be exercised in Poland. It also applies to transactions executed outside Poland if the buyer is established in Poland. All transactions on a stock market, Polish treasury bonds and Polish treasury bills, bills issued by the National Bank and some other specified securities are exempted from the tax.[44]
Singapore [ edit ]
Singapore charges a 0.2% stamp duty on all instruments that give effect to transactions in stocks and shares.[55] However, this duty only applies to actual physical documents, and is not levied on computerized transactions performed through securities accounts. Stamp duty is not levied on derivative instruments.
Sweden [ edit ]
In January 1984, Sweden introduced a 0.5% tax on the purchase or sale of an equity security. Hence a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction resulted in a 1% tax. In July 1986, the rate was doubled, and in January 1989, a considerably lower tax of 0.002% on fixed-income securities was introduced for a security with a maturity of 90 days or less. On a bond with a maturity of five years or more, the tax was 0.003%. Analyst Marion G. Wrobel prepared a paper for the Canadian Government in June 1996, examining the international experience with financial transaction taxes, and paying particular attention to the Swedish experience.[56]
The revenues from taxes were disappointing; for example, revenues from the tax on fixed-income securities were initially expected to amount to 1,500 million Swedish kronor per year. They did not amount to more than 80 million Swedish kronor in any year and the average was closer to 50 million.[57] In addition, as taxable trading volumes fell, so did revenues from capital gains taxes, entirely offsetting revenues from the equity transactions tax that had grown to 4,000 million Swedish kronor by 1988.[58]
On the day that the tax was announced, share prices fell by 2.2%. But there was leakage of information prior to the announcement, which might explain the 5.35% price decline in the 30 days prior to the announcement. When the tax was doubled, prices again fell by another 1%. These declines were in line with the capitalized value of future tax payments resulting from expected trades. It was further felt that the taxes on fixed-income securities only served to increase the cost of government borrowing, providing another argument against the tax.
Even though the tax on fixed-income securities was much lower than that on equities, the impact on market trading was much more dramatic. During the first week of the tax, the volume of bond trading fell by 85%, even though the tax rate on five-year bonds was only 0.003%. The volume of futures trading fell by 98% and the options trading market disappeared. On 15 April 1990, the tax on fixed-income securities was abolished. In January 1991 the rates on the remaining taxes were cut in half and by the end of the year they were abolished completely. Once the taxes were eliminated, trading volumes returned and grew substantially in the 1990s.[56]
The Swedish FTT is widely considered a failure by design since traders could easily avoid the tax by using foreign broker services.[44]
Switzerland [ edit ]
In Switzerland a transfer tax (Umsatzabgabe) is levied on the transfer of domestic or foreign securities such as bonds and shares, where one of the parties or intermediaries is a Swiss security broker. Other securities such as options futures, etc. do not qualify as taxable securities. Swiss brokers include banks and bank-linked financial institutions. The duty is levied at a rate of 0.15% for domestic securities and 0.3% for foreign securities. However, there are numerous exemptions to the Swiss transfer tax. These are among others: Eurobonds, other bonds denominated in a foreign currency and the trading stock of professional security brokers. The revenue of the Swiss transfer tax was CHF 1.9 billion in 2007 or 0.37% of GDP.[44]
Taiwan [ edit ]
In Taiwan the securities transaction tax (STT) is imposed upon gross sales price of securities transferred and at a rate of 0.3% for share certificates issued by companies and 0.1% for corporate bonds or any securities offered to the public which have been duly approved by the government.[44] However, trading of corporate bonds and financial bonds issued by Taiwanese issuers or companies are temporarily exempt from STT beginning 1 January 2010. The Taiwanese government argued this "would enliven the bond market and enhance the international competitiveness of Taiwan's enterprises."[59]
Since 1998, Taiwan also levies a stock index futures transaction tax imposed on both parties. The current transaction tax is levied per transaction at a rate of not less than 0.01% and not more than 0.06%, based on the value of the futures contract. Revenue from the securities transaction tax and the futures transaction tax was about €2.4 billion in 2009. The major part of this revenue came from the taxation of bonds and stocks (96.5%). The taxation of stock index future shares was 3.5%. In total, this corresponds to 0.8% in terms of GDP.[44]
United Kingdom [ edit ]
Stamp Duty
A stamp duty was introduced in the United Kingdom as an ad valorem tax on share purchases in 1808.[60] Stamp duties are collected on documents used to effect the sale and transfer of certificated stock and other securities of UK based companies.[44] It can be avoided using CFDs.
Stamp Duty Reserve Tax
To address the development of trades in uncertificated stock, the UK Finance Act 1986 introduced the Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT) at a rate of 0.5% on share purchases,[61] raising around €3.8bn per year, of which 40% is paid by foreign residents.[6] The tax is charged whether the transaction takes place in the UK or overseas, and whether either party is resident of the UK or not. Securities issued by companies overseas are not taxed. This means that—just like the standard stamp duty—the tax is paid by foreign and UK-based investors who invest in UK incorporated companies. In other words, the tax applies to all companies which are headquartered in the UK,[44] albeit there is a relief for intermediaries (such as market makers and large banks that are members of a qualifying exchange) as a condition of their obligation to provide liquidity.[62]
Both stamp duty and SDRT remain in place today, albeit with continued relief for intermediaries, so that over 70% of transactions are exempt from tax.[4] SDRT accounts for the majority of revenue collected on share transactions effected through the UK's Exchanges. On average almost 90% of revenues stem from the SDRT. Only a minor part comes from Stamp Duty.[44] Revenue is pro-cyclical with economic activity. In terms of GDP and total tax revenue the highest values were reached during the dot.com boom years around the end of the 20th century, notably in 2000–01. In 2007–08, SDRT generated €5.37 billion in revenue (compared to 0.72 billion of the standard stamp duty). This accounts for 0.82% over total UK tax revenue or 0.30% of GDP. In 2008–09 the figure dropped to €3.67 billion (0.22% of GDP), due to reduced share prices and trading volumes as a result of the financial crisis.[44]
United States [ edit ]
The US imposed a financial transaction tax from 1914 to 1966 that was originally 0.2% and was doubled during the Great Depression.[63] Currently, the US imposes a $0.0042 round-trip transaction tax on security futures transactions and $21.80 per million dollars for securities transactions.[64] The tax, known as Section 31 fee, is used to support the operation costs of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Proposed financial transaction taxes [ edit ]
Global Tobin tax [ edit ]
In 2000 a "pro–Tobin tax" NGO proposed that a tax could be used to fund international development: "In the face of increasing income disparity and social inequity, the Tobin Tax represents a rare opportunity to capture the enormous wealth of an untaxed sector and redirect it towards the public good. Conservative estimates show the tax could yield from $150–300 billion annually."[65] According to Dr. Stephen Spratt, "the revenues raised could be used for ... international development objectives ... such as meeting the Millennium Development Goals."[4][66][67]

At the UN World Conference against Racism 2001, when the issue of compensation for colonialism and slavery arose in the agenda, President Fidel Castro of Cuba advocated the Tobin Tax to address that issue. According to Cliff Kincaid, Castro advocated it "specifically in order to generate U.S. financial reparations to the rest of the world", however a closer reading of Castro's speech shows that he never did mention "the rest of the world" as being recipients of revenue. Castro cited holocaust reparations as a previously established precedent for the concept of reparations.[69][70] Castro also suggested that the United Nations be the administrator of this tax, stating the following:
May the tax suggested by Nobel Prize Laureate James Tobin be imposed in a reasonable and effective way on the current speculative operations accounting for trillions of US dollars every 24 hours, then the United Nations, which cannot go on depending on meager, inadequate, and belated donations and charities, will have one trillion US dollars annually to save and develop the world. Given the seriousness and urgency of the existing problems, which have become a real hazard for the very survival of our species on the planet, that is what would actually be needed before it is too late.[69]
Member countries have not given the UN a mandate to seek a global financial tax.
Robin hood tax [ edit ]
On 15 February 2010 a coalition of 50 charities and civil society organisations launched a campaign for a Robin Hood tax on global financial transactions. The proposal would affect a wide range of asset classes including the purchase and sale of stocks, bonds, commodities, unit trusts, mutual funds, and derivatives such as futures and options.[71]

A G20 financial transaction tax (G20 FTT) was first proposed in 2008.[73] The next year the G20 FTT received the support of the US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.[74] The proposal, which was thought to raise new funding for poor countries, however, failed to win the backing of the G20 at 2011 Cannes summit.[75] Nevertheless, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he planned to still pursue the idea.[75] According to Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and a supporter of a G20 FTT, even a small tax of 10 basis points on equities and 2 basis points on bonds could generate about $48 billion from G20 member states or $9 billion if only adopted by larger European countries.[76]
United States financial transaction tax [ edit ]
Different US financial transaction tax (US FTT) bills have been proposed in Congress since 2009. The main differences between the proposals has been the size of the tax, which financial transactions are taxed and how the new tax revenue is spent. The bills have proposed a .025%–.5% tax on stocks, .025%–.1% tax on bonds and .005%–.02% on derivatives with the funds going to health, public services, debt reduction, infrastructure and job creation. The House of Representatives has introduced since 2009 ten different US FTT related bills and the Senate has introduced four. The bills in the Senate have been variously sponsored by Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) or Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont). The bills in the House have been variously sponsored by Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon), John Conyers (D-Michigan) or a number of other Representatives.[77]
The US FTT bills proposed by Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon) and Sen. Harkin (D-Iowa) have received a number of cosponsors in the Senate and House. The Let Wall Street Pay for the Restoration of Main Street Bill is an early version of their cosponsored US FTT bill which includes a tax on US financial market securities transactions.[5] The bill suggests to tax stock transactions at a rate of 0.25%. The tax on futures contracts to buy or sell a specified commodity of standardized quality at a certain date in the future, at a market determined price would be 0.02%. Swaps between two firms and credit default swaps would be taxed 0.02%.[78] The tax would only target speculators, since the tax would be refunded to average investors, pension funds and health savings accounts.[79] Projected annual revenue is $150 billion per year, half of which would go towards deficit reduction and half of which would go towards job promotion activities.[5][78] The day the bill was introduced, it had the support of 25 of DeFazio's House colleagues.[5]
European Union financial transaction tax [ edit ]
EU Financial transaction tax Supporting EU countries Opposing EU countries Undecided Euro countries Undecided Non-Euro countries
The EU financial transaction tax (EU FTT) is a proposal made by the European Commission in September 2011 to introduce a financial transaction tax within the 27 member states of the European Union by 2014. The tax would only impact financial transactions between financial institutions charging 0.1% against the exchange of shares and bonds and 0.01% across derivative contracts. According to the European Commission it could raise €57 billion every year,[80] of which around €10bn (£8.4bn) would go to Great Britain, which hosts Europe's biggest financial center.[81] It is unclear whether a financial transaction tax is compatible with European law.[82]
If implemented the tax must be paid in the European country where the financial operator is established. This "R plus I" (residence plus issuance) solution means the EU-FTT would cover all transactions that involve a single European firm, no matter if these transactions are carried out in the EU or elsewhere in the world.[83] The scheme makes it impossible for say French or German banks to avoid the tax by moving their transactions offshore,[84] unless they give up all their European customers.[85]
According to John Dizard of the Financial Times, the unilateral extension of extraterritorial power can only cause problems:- [86]
From a US perspective, this unilateral extension of extraterritorial power by the commission goes beyond anything attempted since the US and Great Britain concluded the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War in 1783. Most institutions that try to do something like that have their own navy, and usually a larger one than the sovereign territory where they are attempting to impose the tax.
Being faced with stiff resistance from some non-eurozone EU countries, particularly United Kingdom and Sweden, a group of eleven states began pursuing the idea of utilizing enhanced co-operation to implement the tax in states which wish to participate.[87][88] Opinion polls indicate that two-thirds of British people are in favour of some forms of FTT (see section: Public opinion).
The proposal supported by the eleven EU member states, was approved in the European Parliament in December 2012,[89] and by the Council of the European Union in January 2013.[90][91][92][93] The formal agreement on the details of the EU FTT still need to be decided upon and approved by the European Parliament.[94][95]
Evaluation [ edit ]
Effect on volatility [ edit ]
Proponents of the tax assert that it will reduce price volatility. In a 1984 paper, Lawrence Summers and Victoria Summers argued, "Such a tax would have the beneficial effects of curbing instability introduced by speculation, reducing the diversion of resources into the financial sector of the economy, and lengthening the horizons of corporate managers."[96] It is further believed that FTTs "should reduce volatility by reducing the number of noise traders".[97] However most empirical studies find that the relationship between FTT and short-term price volatility is ambiguous and that "higher transaction costs are associated with more, rather than less, volatility".[97]
A 2003 IMF Staff Paper by Karl Habermeier and Andrei Kirilenko found that FTTs are "positively related to increased volatility and lower volume".[98] A study of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges says the FTT created significant increases in volatility because it "would influence not only noise traders, but also those informed traders who play the role of decreasing volatility in the stock market."[99] A French study of 6,774 daily realized volatility measurements for 4.7 million trades in a four-year period of index stocks trading in the Paris Bourse from 1995 to 1999 reached the same conclusion "that higher transaction costs increase stock return volatility". The French study concluded that these volatility measures "are likely to underestimate the destabilizing role of security transactions since they – unlike large ticks – also reduce the stabilizing liquidity supply".[100]
A 1997 study of the UK Stamp Duty, which exempts market makers and large banks that are members of a qualifying exchange, found no significant effect on the volatility of UK equity prices.[97]
Effect on liquidity [ edit ]
In 2011 the IMF published a study paper, which argues that a securities transaction tax (STT) "reduces trading volume, it may decrease liquidity or, equivalently, may increase the price impact of trades, which will tend to heighten price volatility".[101] A study by the think tank Oxera found that the imposition of the UK's Stamp Duty would "likely have a negative effect on liquidity in secondary markets". Regarding proposals to abolish the UK's Stamp Duty, Oxera concluded that the abolition would "be likely to result in a non-negligible increase in liquidity, further reducing the cost of capital of UK listed companies".[102] A study of the FTT in Chinese stock markets found liquidity reductions due to decreased transactions.[99]:6
Effect on price discovery [ edit ]
An IMF Working Paper found a FTT impacts price discovery. The natural effect of the FTT's reduction of trading volume is to reduce liquidity, which "can in turn slow price discovery, the process by which financial markets incorporate the effect of new information into asset prices". The FTT would cause information to be incorporated more slowly into trades, creating "a greater autocorrelation of returns". This pattern could impede the ability of the market to prevent asset bubbles. The deterrence of transactions could "slow the upswing of the asset cycle", but it could also "slow a correction of prices toward their fundamental values".[101] :16,18,21
Habermeier and Kirilenko conclude that "The presence of even very small transaction costs makes continuous rebalancing infinitely expensive. Therefore, valuable information can be held back from being incorporated into prices. As a result, prices can deviate from their full information values."[98]:174 A Chinese study agrees, saying: "When it happens that an asset's price is currently misleading and is inconsistent with its intrinsic value, it would take longer to correct for the discrepancy because of the lack of enough transactions. In these cases, the capital market becomes less efficient."[99]:6
Revenues [ edit ]
Revenue Estimate for Global
Financial Transaction Tax[68] Tax base Tax rate Revenue
estimate
(US$ billion) Global stocks .01% 6.6–7 Global bonds .01% 1.4 Global derivatives
(exchange) .01% 110–147 Global derivatives
(OTC) .01% 83–111 Global total .01% 202–266
Revenues vary according to tax rate, transactions covered, and tax effects on transactions. The Swedish experience with transaction taxes in 1984–91 demonstrates that the net effect on tax revenues can be difficult to estimate and can even be negative due to reduced trading volumes. Revenues from the transaction tax on fixed-income securities were initially expected to amount to 1,500 million Swedish kronor per year but actually amounted to no more than 80 million Swedish kronor in any year. Reduced trading volumes also caused a reduction in capital gains tax revenue which entirely offset the transaction tax revenues.[58]
An examination of the scale and nature of the various payments and derivatives transactions and the likely elasticity of response led Honohan and Yoder (2010) to conclude that attempts to raise a significant percentage of gross domestic product in revenue from a broad-based financial transactions tax are likely to fail both by raising much less revenue than expected and by generating far-reaching changes in economic behavior. They point out that, although the side effects would include a sizable restructuring of financial sector activity, this would not occur in ways corrective of the particular forms of financial overtrading that were most conspicuous in contributing to the ongoing financial crisis. Accordingly, such taxes likely deliver both less revenue and less efficiency benefits than have sometimes been claimed by some. On the other hand, they observe that such taxes may be less damaging than feared by others.
On the other hand, the case of UK stamp duty reserve tax shows that provided exemptions are given to market makers and banks, that FTT can generate modest revenues, at the expense of pensioners and savers. Despite the low tax rate of 0.5% on the purchase of shares, the UK managed to generate between €3.7 and €7.4 billion in revenues from stamp duties per year throughout the last decade.[44] Also the cases of Japan, Taiwan and Switzerland suggest that countries may generate sizable amounts of income by introducing FTT on a national scale. If implemented on an international scale, revenues may be even considerably higher, since it would make it more difficult for traders to avoid the tax by moving to other locations.[103]
Projections of FTT proposals
Worldwide : According to the Robin Hood Tax campaign a FTT rate of about 0.05% on transactions like stocks, bonds, foreign currency and derivatives could raise £250 billion a year globally [104] or £20 billion in the UK alone. [105]
: According to the Robin Hood Tax campaign a FTT rate of about 0.05% on transactions like stocks, bonds, foreign currency and derivatives could raise £250 billion a year globally or £20 billion in the UK alone. United States : The Center for Economic and Policy Research estimates a US FTT to raise $177 billion per year. [106]
: The Center for Economic and Policy Research estimates a US FTT to raise $177 billion per year. European Union: The European Commission expects its proposed EU financial transaction tax of 0.1% on bond and equity transactions, and 0.01% on derivative transactions between financial firms to raise up to €55 billion per year.[107][108]
Effect on share prices [ edit ]
According to a European Commission working paper, empirical studies show that the UK stamp duty influences the share prices negatively. More frequently traded shares are stronger affected than low-turnover shares. Therefore, the tax revenue capitalizes at least to some extent in lower current share prices. For firms which rely on equity as marginal source of finance this may increase capital costs since the issue price of new shares would be lower than without the tax.[44]
Kenneth Rogoff, Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Harvard University, and formerly Chief Economist at the IMF, argues that "Higher transactions taxes increase the cost of capital, ultimately lowering investment. With a lower capital stock, output would trend downward, reducing government revenues and substantially offsetting the direct gain from the tax. In the long run, wages would fall, and ordinary workers would end up bearing a significant share of the cost. More broadly, FTTs violate the general public-finance principle that it is inefficient to tax intermediate factors of production, particularly ones that are highly mobile and fluid in their response."[109]
Progressive or regressive tax [ edit ]
An IMF Working Paper finds that the FTT "disproportionately burdens" the financial sector and will also impact pension funds, public corporations, international commerce firms, and the public sector, with "multiple layers of tax" creating a "cascading effect". "[E]ven an apparently low-rate [FTT] might result in a high tax burden on some activities." These costs could also be passed on to clients, including not only wealthy individuals and corporations, but charities and pension and mutual funds.[101]:25,37
Other studies have suggested that the financial transaction tax is regressive in application—particularly the Stamp Duty in the UK, which includes certain exemptions only available to institutional investors. One UK study, by the Institute for Development Studies, suggests, "In the long run, a significant proportion of the tax could end up being passed on to consumers."[97]:3 Another study of the UK Stamp Duty found that institutional investors avoid the tax due to intermediary relief, while short-term investors who are willing to take on additional risk can avoid the tax by trading noncovered derivatives. The study concluded, therefore, "The tax is thus likely to fall most heavily on long-term, risk-averse investors."[101]:36
Technical feasibility [ edit ]
Although James Tobin had said his own Tobin tax idea was unfeasible in practice, a study on its feasibility commissioned by the German government 2002 concluded that the tax was feasible even at a limited scale within the European time zone without significant tax evasion.[110] Joseph Stiglitz, former Senior Vice President and Chief Economist of the World Bank, said, on 5 October 2009, that modern technology meant that was no longer the case. Stiglitz said, the tax is "much more feasible today" than a few decades ago, when Tobin recanted.[37] However, on 7 November 2009, at the G20 finance ministers summit in Scotland, the head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Khan, said, "transactions are very difficult to measure and so it's very easy to avoid a transaction tax."[111] Nevertheless, in early December 2009, economist Stephany Griffith-Jones agreed that the "greater centralisation and automisation of the exchanges' and banks' clearing and settlements systems ... makes avoidance of payment more difficult and less desirable."[112]
In January 2010, feasibility of the tax was supported and clarified by researcher Rodney Schmidt, who noted "it is technically easy to collect a financial tax from exchanges ... transactions taxes can be collected by the central counterparty at the point of the trade, or automatically in the clearing or settlement process."[113] (All large-value financial transactions go through three steps. First dealers agree to a trade; then the dealers' banks match the two sides of the trade through an electronic central clearing system; and finally, the two individual financial instruments are transferred simultaneously to a central settlement system. Thus a tax can be collected at the few places where all trades are ultimately cleared or settled.)[113][114]
When presented with the problem of speculators shifting operations to offshore tax havens, a representative of a "pro–Tobin tax" NGO argued as follows:
Agreement between nations could help avoid the relocation threat, particularly if the tax were charged at the site where dealers or banks are physically located or at the sites where payments are settled or 'netted'. The relocation of Chase Manhattan Bank to an offshore site would be expensive, risky and highly unlikely – particularly to avoid a small tax. Globally, the move towards a centralized trading system means transactions are being tracked by fewer and fewer institutions. Hiding trades is becoming increasingly difficult. Transfers to tax havens like the Cayman Islands could be penalized at double the agreed rate or more. Citizens of participating countries would also be taxed regardless of where the transaction was carried out.[115]
Gradual implementation feasibility [ edit ]
There has been debate as to whether one single nation could unilaterally implement a financial transaction tax. In the year 2000, "eighty per cent of foreign-exchange trading [took] place in just seven cities. Agreement [to implement the tax] by [just three cities,] London, New York and Tokyo alone, would capture 58 per cent of speculative trading."[115] However, on 27 June 2010 at the 2010 G-20 Toronto summit, the G20 leaders declared that a "global tax" was no longer "on the table", but that individual countries will be able to decide whether to implement a levy against financial institutions to recoup billions of dollars in taxpayer-funded bailouts.[116]

Supporting countries [ edit ]
Other supporters
Over 1,000 economists (including Nobel laureate Paul Krugman,[136] Jeffrey Sachs[137] and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz[37]), more than 1,000 parliamentarians from over 30 countries,[138][139] the world's major labor leaders, the Association for the Taxation of Financial Transactions and for Citizens' Action, Occupy Wall Street protesters, Oxfam, War on Want[140] and other major development groups, the World Wildlife Fund, Greenpeace[141] and other major environmental organizations support a FTT. Other notable supporters include the Archbishop of Canterbury, Bill Gates and Michael Moore.[134] David Harding, founder and CEO of one of London's biggest hedge funds has given qualified support for a European tax on financial transactions, breaking ranks with many of his peers fiercely opposed to such a measure.[142] Speculator George Soros, put forward a different proposal, calling rich countries to donate their special drawing rights for the purpose of providing international assistance, without necessarily dismissing the Tobin tax idea.[41] It has been widely reported that the Pope backs such a tax. However, the reality is that a commission of the Vatican of which the Pope is not a member merely said that such a tax would be worth reflecting on.[143]
Another group of EU FTT supporters it is integrated by European federalists. In their opinion FTT would constitute, among other things, a fair political initiative in the current financial crisis and it would represent an EU added value.
The European Commission has proposed a regional FTT to be implemented within the European Union (or the Eurozone) by 2014.[144]
Opposing countries [ edit ]
Other opposers
Most hedge funds managers fiercely oppose FTT.[142] So does the economist and former member of Bank of England Charles Goodhart.[162] The Financial Times,[163] the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Business Advisory Council, the Confederation of British Industry, and the Adam Smith Institute have also spoken out against a global financial transaction tax.[164]
IMF's position [ edit ]
In 2001, the IMF conducted considerable research that opposes a transaction tax.[165] On 11 December 2009, the Financial Times reported "Since the Nov 7 [2009] summit of the G20 Finance Ministers, the head of the International Monetary Fund, Mr Strauss-Kahn, seems to have softened his doubts, telling the CBI employers' conference: 'We have been asked by the G20 to look into financial sector taxes. ... This is an interesting issue. ... We will look at it from various angles and consider all proposals.'"[166] When the IMF presented its interim report[33][34] for the G20 on 16 April 2010, it laid out three options: a bank tax, a Financial Activities Tax (FAT), and a third option (which was not promoted but not ruled out), a financial transaction tax.[114] On 16 April 2011, the IMF stated, it does not endorse a financial transaction tax, believing it "does not appear well suited to the specific purposes set out in the mandate from the G-20 leaders".[33] However, it concedes that "The FTT should not be dismissed on grounds of administrative practicality".[33]
Challenging the IMF's belittling of the financial transaction tax, Stephan Schulmeister of the Austrian Institute of Economic Research found that, "the assertion of the IMF paper, that a financial transaction tax 'is not focused on the core sources of financial instability', does not seem to have a solid foundation in the empirical evidence."[167] Additionally, the IMF's watchdog group, the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO), released a report in 2011 which questioned the quality and level of bias in the IMF's research between 1999 and 2008. The report indicated that "there is a widely held perception that IMF research is message driven. About half of the authorities held this view, and more than half of the staff indicated that they felt pressure to align their conclusions with IMF policies and positions."[168]
Public opinion [ edit ]
Europe [ edit ]
A 2011 survey published by YouGov suggests that more than four out of five people in the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy think the financial sector has a responsibility to help repair the damage caused by the economic crisis.[169] A 2011 Eurobarometer poll of more than 27,000 people found that Europeans are strongly in favour of a Financial Transactions Tax, by a margin of 61% to 26%. It found that Europeans "strongly support the various measures that the European Union could adopt to reform the global financial markets... about the introduction of a tax on financial transactions, this proposal is nevertheless supported by more than six out of ten respondents (61%). A quarter of Europeans are against it, possibly because of the fear that they themselves might be subject to this tax."[169][170]

ctree procedure in the R package party to build classification tree models. These models map each record in a dataset into one of M mutually exclusive groups, which are characterized by their average response. For responses coded as 0 or 1, this average may be regarded as an estimate of the probability that a record in the group exhibits a “positive response.” This interpretation leads to the idea discussed here, which is to replace this estimate with the size-corrected probability estimate I discussed in my previous post ( My last post focused on the use of theprocedure in the R packageto build classification tree models. These models map each record in a dataset into one of M mutually exclusive groups, which are characterized by their average response. For responses coded as 0 or 1, this average may be regarded as an estimate of the probability that a record in the group exhibits a “positive response.” This interpretation leads to the idea discussed here, which is to replace this estimate with the size-corrected probability estimate I discussed in my previous post ( Screening for predictive characteristics ). Also, as discussed in that post, these estimates provide the basis for confidence intervals that quantify their precision, particularly for small groups.
PropCIs, which includes several procedures for estimating binomial probabilities and their confidence intervals, including an implementation of the method discussed in my previous post. Specifically, the procedure used here is addz2ci, discussed in Chapter 9 of PropCIs package cites an earlier paper by Agresti and Coull (“Approximate is better than exact for interval estimation of binomial proportions,” in The American Statistician, vol. 52, 1998, pp. 119-126). The essential idea is to modify the classical estimator, augmenting the counts of 0’s and 1’s in the data by z2/2, where z is the normal z-score associated with the significance level. As a specific example, z is approximately 1.96 for 95% confidence limits, so this modification adds approximately 2 to each count. In cases where both of these counts are large, this correction has negligible effect, so the size-corrected estimates and their corresponding confidence intervals are essentially identical with the classical results. In cases where either the sample is small or one of the possible responses is rare, these size-corrected results are much more reasonable than the classical results, which motivated their use both here and in my earlier post. In this post, the basis for these estimates is the R package, which includes several procedures for estimating binomial probabilities and their confidence intervals, including an implementation of the method discussed in my previous post. Specifically, the procedure used here is, discussed in Chapter 9 of Exploring Data in Engineering, the Sciences, and Medicine . As noted in both that discussion and in my previous post, this estimator is described in a paper by Brown, Cai and DasGupta in 2002, but the documentation for thepackage cites an earlier paper by Agresti and Coull (“Approximate is better than exact for interval estimation of binomial proportions,” invol. 52, 1998, pp. 119-126).

The above plot provides a simple illustration of the results that can be obtained using the addz2ci procedure, in a case where some groups are small enough for these size-corrections to matter. More specifically, this plot is based on the Australian vehicle insurance dataset that I discussed in my last post, and it characterizes the probability that a policy files a claim (i.e., that the variable clm has the value 1), for each of the 13 vehicle types included in the dataset. The heavy horizontal line segments in this plot represent the size-corrected claim probability estimates for each vehicle type, while the open triangles connected by dotted lines represent the upper and lower 95% confidence limits around these probability estimates, computed as described above. The solid horizontal line represents the overall claim probability for the dataset, to serve as a reference value for the individual subset results.
An important observation here is that although this dataset is reasonably large (there are a total of 67,856 records), the subgroups are quite heterogeneous in size, spanning the range from 27 records listing “RDSTR” as the vehicle type to 22,233 listing “ SEDAN ”. As a consequence, although the classical and size-adjusted claim probability estimates and their confidence intervals are essentially identical for the dataset overall, the extent of this agreement varies substantially across the different vehicle types. Taking the extremes, the results for the largest group (“SEDAN”) are, as with the dataset overall, almost identical: the classical estimate is 0.0665, while the size-adjusted estimate is 0.0664; the lower 95% confidence limit also differs by one in the fourth decimal place (classical 0.0631 versus size-corrected 0.0632), and the upper limit is identical to four decimal places, at 0.0697. In marked contrast, the classical and size-corrected estimates for the “RDSTR” group are 0.0741 versus 0.1271, the upper 95% confidence limits are 0.1729 versus 0.2447, and the lower confidence limits are -0.0247 versus 0.0096. Note that in this case, the lower classical confidence limit violates the requirement that probabilities must be positive, something that is not possible for the addz2ci confidence limits (specifically, negative values are less likely to arise, as in this example, and if they ever do arise, they are replaced with zero, the smallest feasible value for the lower confidence limit; similarly for upper confidence limits that exceed 1). As is often the case, the primary advantage of plotting these results is that it gives us a much more immediate indication of the relative precision of the probability estimates, particularly in cases like “RDSTR” where these confidence intervals are quite wide.
The R code used to generate these results uses both the addz2ci procedure from the PropCIs package, and the summaryBy procedure from the doBy package. Specifically, the following function returns a dataframe with one row for each distinct value of the variable GroupingVar. The columns of this dataframe include this value, the total number of records listing this value, the number of these records for which the binary response variable BinVar is equal to 1, the lower confidence limit, the upper confidence limit, and the size-corrected estimate. The function is called with BinVar, GroupingVar, and the significance level, with a default of 95%. The first two lines of the function require the doBy and PropCIs packages. The third line constructs an internal dataframe, passed to the summaryByfunction in the doBy package, which applies the length and sum functions to the subset of BinVar values defined by each level of GroupingVar, giving the total number of records and the total number of records with BinVar = 1. The main loop in this program applies the addz2ci function to these two numbers, for each value of GroupingVar, which returns a two-element list. The element $estimate gives the size-corrected probability estimate, and the element $conf.int is a vector of length 2 with the lower and upper confidence limits for this estimate. The rest of the program appends these values to the internal dataframe created by the summaryByfunction, which is returned as the final result. The code listing follows:
BinomialCIbyGroupFunction #
require(doBy)
require(PropCIs)
#
IntFrame = data.frame(b = BinVar, g = as.factor(GroupingVar))
SumFrame = summaryBy(b ~ g, data = IntFrame, FUN=c(length,sum))
#
n = nrow(SumFrame)
EstVec = vector(“numeric”,n)
LowVec = vector(“numeric”,n)
UpVec = vector(“numeric”,n)
for (i in 1:n){
Rslt = addz2ci(x = SumFrame$b.sum[i],n = SumFrame$b.length[i],conf.level=SigLevel)
EstVec[i] = Rslt$estimate
CI = Rslt$conf.int
LowVec[i] = CI[1]
UpVec[i] = CI[2]
}
SumFrame$LowerCI = LowVec
SumFrame$UpperCI = UpVec
SumFrame$Estimate = EstVec
return(SumFrame)
}
The binary response characterization tools just described can be applied to the results obtained from a classification tree model. Specifically, since a classification tree assigns every record to a unique terminal node, we can characterize the response across these nodes, treating the node numbers as the data groups, analogous to the vehicle body types in the previous example. As a specific illustration, the figure above gives a graphical representation of the ctree model considered in my previous post, built using the ctree command from the party package with the following formula:
Fmla = clm ~ veh_value + veh_body + veh_age + gender + area + agecat
Recall that this formula specifies we want a classification tree that predicts the binary claim indicator clm from the six variables on the right-hand side of the tilde, separated by “+” signs. Each of the terminal nodes in the resulting ctree model is characterized with a rectangular box in the above figure, giving the number of records in each group (n) and the average positive response (y), corresponding to the classical claim probability estimate. Note that the product ny corresponds to the total number of claims in each group, so these products and the group sizes together provide all of the information we need to compute the size-corrected claim probability estimates and their confidence limits for each terminal node. Alternatively, we can use the where method associated with the binary tree object that ctree returns to extract the terminal nodes associated with each observation. Then, we simply use the terminal node in place of vehicle body type in exactly the same analysis as before.
The above figure shows these estimates, in the same format as the original plot of claim probability broken down by vehicle body type given earlier. Here, the range of confidence interval widths is much less extreme than before, but it is still clearly evident: the largest group (Node 10, with 23,315 records) exhibits the narrowest confidence interval, while the smallest groups (Node 9, with 1,361 records, and Node 13, with 1,932 records) exhibit the widest confidence intervals. Despite its small size, however, the smallest group does exhibit a significantly lower claim probability than any of the other groups defined by this classification tree model.
The primary point of this post has been to demonstrate that binomial confidence intervals can be used to help interpret and explain classification tree results, especially when displayed graphically as in the above figure. These displays provide a useful basis for comparing classification tree models obtained in different ways (e.g., by different algorithms like rpart and ctree, or by different tuning parameters for one specific algorithm). Comparisons of this sort will form the basis for my next post.

Check out all of the summit sessions in our on-demand library now! Watch here. Tumblr, a New York startup that offers easy-to-use publishing and social networking tools for bloggers, has raised a “very big and competitive” round of funding from famed venture capital firm Sequoia Capital, according to a report in Business Insider. The company’s network of blogs seems to have taken off in the past year, as you can see from the Quantcast chart below. Tumblr also appears to have solidified its lead against West Coast rival Posterous, and even though it hasn’t caught up with more-established blog platform WordPress, it’s growing more quickly. The company, founded by David Karp (pictured), and has already raised more than $10 million from New York-based Union Square Ventures and Boston-based Spark Capital, so a Sequoia investment would mark its first Silicon Valley backing.

Commentary -Five years ago, I joined a tiny startup that was promising to democratize integration (Talend). Coming from another data integration vendor – a proprietary one – I liked that I would be able to leverage my market expertise. But, like most people at the time, I knew nothing about open source. Of course, I had heard about Linux, I had a vague idea of what MySQL was, but that was the extent of my open source expertise. The two founders of Talend told me not to worry, that open source was only in its infancy, and that we would be part of building it.
Becoming mainstream
At that time, most open source vendors were trying to replicate what proprietary vendors were doing, or what they had failed to do. The value proposition was simple: vendors would say they were like X, but more open, more extensible, and less expensive. Take a few of the successes of the late 2000s and who they were compared to: MySQL (Oracle), JBoss (WebSphere), Jaspersoft (BusinessObjects), Talend (Informatica), SugarCRM (Siebel).
By and large, these vendors were successful. The first “billion dollar baby” of open source was MySQL, when Sun bought the company for $1 billion. At that time, Techcrunch headline was: “Sun Picks Up MySQL For $1 Billion; Open Source Is A Legitimate Business Model.” And indeed, 2008 marked a turning point for open source: more and more enterprise deployments; acquisitions, like in the “real” corporate world; more and more funding. The 451 Group tracks the history of VC funding in open source – the graph in this post shows that investment in 2008 was at an all-time high, which would only be matched again in 2011.
Fast forward to today. Red Hat just became the second billion dollar open source baby. Of course, they are the first billion-dollar-revenue open source vendor. But I believe the impact is as great as when MySQL was valued a billion dollar. Why? Because it settles the debate: you can build, and grow, a sustainable and scalable commercial open source business.
Driving innovation
As open source vendors were becoming mainstream, they also started to lose some of their differentiation. Today, you can’t continue to scale a business by merely being “the open source alternative to X.” People running X are not stupid. They have seen the threat, and reacted to it. And even though they will not admit it publicly, proprietary vendors are keeping close tabs on their open source competitors. We are well beyond the basic, primitive FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt) strategy that was used in the past. Proprietary vendors have learned to compete with open source.
In order to continue to strive, open source vendors must continue to be different. One way open source has been retaining this differentiation is through innovation.
Unlike their proprietary counterparts, open source vendors are younger, more agile companies. They use open, standard-based technology stacks. Innovation is part of the open source DNA. Let’s look at three of the major IT “r-evolutions” of the past few years (I don’t really like the term “revolution”, I think most IT changes are evolutionary in nature, and that this evolution is simply going faster or slower).
Cloud computing – open source powers the cloud. Most of the cloud infrastructure is based on the open source LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP) stack. It’s not only because open source technology works well in this context, but also because the open source licensing model makes it easier on cloud providers to scale their infrastructure. The main non-open-source cloud is Microsoft’s Azure, but I don’t think they run into licensing conflicts with themselves.
Big data – even though all vendors are trying to jump on the big data bandwagon, the core big data technology stack, Hadoop, is before all an open source project, managed by the Apache Software Foundation. It’s actually interesting to see how competing Hadoop distribution vendors work on the same project, and build features that also benefit the others. It’s of course not new in the open source world (look at all the ESBs built on the same Apache projects) but might be the first time it gets so strategic.
Mobile – there is probably less obvious of an open source play in mobile computing. Google’s Android is viewed as open source, despite some controversy in the way Google releases source code. And even though Apple’s iOS is clearly not open source, it shares most of its frameworks and underlying operating system components with OS X, Apple’s desktop software. OS X and iOS are built on top of over 200 open source projects, and their very kernel is based on top of an open source kernel called Darwin.
Today, building an open source company without a strong, clear innovation path, one that creates a real technology disruption, would be doomed to failure. The “old” generation of open source vendors must be innovation drivers if they want to continue to strive (for example, what Jaspersoft does with mobile BI, or Talend with big data integration). And a “new” generation is emerging, which include the cloud stack vendors such as Openstack or Eucalyptus, Hadoop vendors such as Hortonworks, Cloudera or MapR, and many more. | positive |

(Reuters) - Hawaii’s governor on Friday signed a bill raising the legal smoking age statewide to 21, the first U.S. state to do so.
The law takes effect on Jan. 1, 2016, and will also ban the sale, purchase or use of electronic cigarettes for those under the age of 21.
“Raising the minimum age as part of our comprehensive tobacco control efforts will help reduce tobacco use among our youth and increase the likelihood that our keiki (children) will grow up to be tobacco-free,” Governor David Ige said in a statement.
Also on Friday, Ige signed a bill banning smoking and e-cigarette use at state parks and beaches, acts already banned in all city and county parks other than of Kaua’i County, according to his office.
Most U.S. states set the legal smoking age at 18, while a handful have set it higher at 19. Some cities and counties, including New York City and Hawaii County, have already raised the smoking age to 21.
Lawmakers in Washington state and California have also pushed to raise the legal smoking age to 21 in recent months.
Opponents of the bill have argued that it limits choice for people considered adults in other situations, like joining the military.
In Hawaii, roughly nine out of 10 smokers start before the age of 21 and many report receiving cigarettes from friends or relatives of legal age, according to the governor’s office.
The Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids said that tobacco use kills 1,400 people and costs some $526 million in medical bills annually in Hawaii.
Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, accounting for more than 480,000 deaths annually, or one of every five deaths overall, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Researchers have found that raising the minimum age to buy tobacco products to 21 or 25 years old would significantly reduce smoking and tobacco-related illnesses in the country and that a majority of U.S. adults support raising the legal age to 21.
Adult smoking rates in the country have dropped sharply to 18 percent of the population today from 42 percent in 1964. | positive |

During the past few months regular movie-goers could hardly avoid James Cameron’s film-trailer announcing the recent release of a 3D version of his Titanic movie in response to the Centennial the shipwreck this month. However, few are aware that the relationship between the motion picture industry and the disaster stretches back nearly a full century. Even fewer realize the two films that “frame” the 100-year span are gross distortions.
Staring a notable and authentic personality, Saved from the Titanic was the first movie in May of 1912. Twenty-three-year-old Dorothy Gibson was among the era’s highest paid movie stars and was also a Titanic survivor. She sketched-out the movie plot herself.
Dressed in the same clothes worn the night of the wreck, Dorothy played a young woman returning from a European vacation to marry her lover, a Navy Ensign. The young man learns of the shipwreck from a buddy who is a wireless operator. He is compelled to call upon the girl’s parents to inform them of the disaster.
Later in a post-disaster scene when Dorothy’s character is telling her family of the events at the dinner table, she is overcome and faints. Her mom calls upon the Ensign to resign from a seafaring career if he wishes to marry the girl. After some dramatics, the Ensign declines by announcing it would be dishonorable to abandon his duties to the Navy. Admiring the officer’s patriotism, the young lady’s dad says, “My daughter, there’s your husband”, as the final scene closes.
As befit her movie star image, Dorothy is portrayed as a heroine. But her actual conduct was lacking. When she realized the danger was serious, Dorothy became hysterical and entered the first of twenty lifeboats. Once upon the water she began to shiver and accepted an overcoat from a thereafter-coatless gentleman.
After the ship foundered a lifeboat crewmember wanted to return to rescue people thrashing in the water. Everyone aboard, including Dorothy, shouted him down. After the victims’ cries faded away, Dorothy proclaimed that the loss of life was minimal since most of the passengers were saved in lifeboats. She was silenced when a crewmember interrupted to say, “If the boats were filled, not more than a third could have escaped.”
Although married, Dorothy vacationed in Europe without her mate and was greeted with a $1,000 engagement ring by her extramarital lover upon returning safely in New York. She would not divorce her pharmacist-husband for another four years. Meanwhile she continued to accept the largess of her benefactor-lover who was a rising movie industry mogul. By the early 1920s she was living in Europe where she remained until her death by heart attack 1946.
A hundred years later, James Cameron’s 3D Titanic foists another misrepresentation. The familiar plot characterizes the leading lady as a victim of gender discrimination whose miraculous survival convinces her to thereafter lead a lifestyle that boldly challenges the evils of patriarchy. She is portrayed as a pioneering feminist decades ahead of Gloria Steinem and Jane Fonda. In reality, far from being victims, the ladies of RMS Titanic were highly privileged.
As the preceding table documents, three-of-every four women were saved as compared to only one-in-every-five men. Moreover, five-to-ten percent of male survivors were pulled out of freezing water, many of whom stood for hours on an overturned lifeboat. Finally, of the four First Class ladies who perished, at least three bravely elected to stay on board despite being offered a chance to enter a lifeboat. (The most oft-cited example was Ida Straus who was the 63-year-old wife of a Macy’s Department Store co-owner.)
Female privilege even trumped the needs of children. The fifty percent survival ratio for children is scandalous compared to the seventy-five percent fraction for adult women.
Contrary to feminist dogma, Titanic males convincingly prioritized the safety of women and children ahead of their own. While the ladies routinely accepted male sacrifice as a gender entitlement, some could unfairly take advantage of men who might simply have been alleged to have of evaded it. For example, two wives famously divorced surviving husbands. Each woman dubiously charged the men with cowardice on Titanic. Given the assumed era-specific female virtues — and reciprocal male obligations – such accusations were enough to condemn the men within society at-large.
Despite the obvious male sacrifices documented by survival statistics, modern feminists are determined to characterize women as victims and men as selfish perpetrators of the disaster. For example, Professor Ann Larabee of Michigan State University states:
Although many men seemed to have behaved admirably…They may simply have had a cavalier trust in technology. Some did not behave like gentlemen at all, jumping on top of women…and when in the boats refusing to return to the disaster site to save those in the water.
Thus, Larabee implies the disproportionate male death ratio merely reflects a false hubris in male inventions, to wit, the ship itself. (Later she contradictorily asserts that men ascribed a feminine identity to the ship in order to designate blame for technological failure on a female as well.) She further implies that men alone failed to rescue those in the water, whereas women objected to returning even more often and forcefully than men. There are few reports of lifeboat ladies even suggesting a return.
Trivializing male disadvantages is popular sport among feminists. For example, women have outnumbered men on college campuses for so long that, The New York Times feels justified in publishing articles portraying men as advantaged because of their superior dating environment. Although men have long outnumbered women in the military I’d wager $100 against a good Cuban cigar that The Times has never published an article lamenting the dating disadvantages of male soldiers. More importantly, however, dating status is a trifling matter compared to the growing hostility toward males on campus where they are often forced into indoctrinations accusing them of being latent, if not active, rapists.
As former Senator Moynihan was put it, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.” Simple honesty requires that feminists and Hollywood admit that the overwhelming gender privilege aboard Titanic favored ladies. Even among the crew, over ninety percent of the women were saved.

Many vital crops capture the sun’s energy in a surprisingly inefficient way. A borrowed trick or two could make them far more productive
Take a look around you. All the organic things you see, from your hands to the leather of your shoes to the wood in your table, are built of strings of carbon atoms. So too is the petrol in your car and the coal in your local power station. All this carbon came from thin air, from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
From termites to blue whales, virtually all life on Earth depends on plants’ ability to turn sunlight and carbon dioxide into food – and without the waste product, oxygen, you would be dead in minutes. You would think, then, that evolution would have honed the process to perfection over the past 2 billion years or so. Yet photosynthesis remains astonishingly inefficient in some ways.
In one respect, this is very good news. With the world’s population set to soar to 9 billion or so by 2050, we need to grow a lot more food. That’s a huge challenge, and as the climate changes, higher temperatures and more severe droughts and floods will make it even harder. We got a glimpse of what the future might be like this year, with drought in Russia and floods in Pakistan devastating crops.

Improving photosynthesis itself could dramatically boost yields. The idea might sound like hubris, but there is no doubt it can be done – because some plants have already achieved it. Many have evolved the … | positive |
Sikh Youth UK has been accused of associating with EDL founder Tommy Robinson.
An influential Sikh youth group has been accused of associating with far-right English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson and allegedly acting to “propagate hatred towards Muslims”.
Sikh Youth UK has arranged for a film allegedly portraying Muslim men as predatory sex groomers to be shown at university campuses and Sikh community centres throughout the UK.
It has welcomed Tommy Robinson to one screening, prompting another Sikh group to say it is causing more concern than the Sikh branch of the EDL, because it is accepted within the community and therefore better able to influence it.
“We are very alarmed,” Balwinder Rana, founder of Sikhs Against The EDL, told The Independent. “By associating with the ex-leader of the EDL who is also a former member of the BNP, Sikh Youth UK is going in totally the wrong direction.”
Mr Rana added that in his opinion, “people like Tommy Robinson only want to use the divide and rule tactic to turn Sikhs against Muslims”.
The apparent warmth of the relationship between Mr Robinson and Sikh Youth UK was revealed when the group welcomed him to a screening in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, of its film Misused Trust.
After Mr Robinson told his 377,000 Twitter followers “Had an [sic] brilliant night in Huddersfield … Islam is targeting our children”, Sikh Youth UK replied: “It was great to have you … Thank you for your support.”
Mr Robinson has repeatedly publicised the work of Sikh Youth UK, writing on social media about “Sikhs raising awareness among their community about Muslim grooming gangs”, and telling his Twitter followers where they could buy a copy of Misused Trust.
For its part, Sikh Youth UK has sometimes publicised the activities of Mr Robinson, on one occasion announcing on its Facebook feed that the EDL founder would be appearing on a Sikh TV channel to “raise awareness of sexual grooming”.
Mr Robinson, 34, who founded the EDL in 2009 before leaving the street-protest group in 2013, has served time in jail for assault and has repeatedly been accused of stoking Islamophobia.
Immediately after the Manchester Arena attack he said the Muslim population of one area of the city contained “enemy combatants”.
Sikh Youth UK, which began as Sikh Youth Birmingham, has described itself as a “movement that seeks to empower and support Sikh Youth [and] to help prevent the use of alcohol and drugs”.
The group first came to national attention with protests against interfaith wedding ceremonies in Sikh temples.
It has now started to devote some of its energies to promoting what it has allegedly portrayed as the significant danger of Muslim men grooming young Sikh women so they can sexually abuse them.
Earlier this year it made the film Misused Trust, which it said would “help show the signs and tactics that are used to groom Sikh girls.”
The film tells the fictional story of a Sikh student preyed upon by a Muslim man who pretends to be Sikh in order to seduce her, then blackmails her into having sex with him and his friends.
After she is rescued with the help of a Sikh Youth UK member, the film also appears to show a group of Sikh men taking violent vigilante action against the Muslim groomers.
They beat up one man and bundle him into the boot of a car, before going to the groomers’ shared house armed with knives, a baseball bat and an axe to attack the Muslim men inside.
The film was condemned by Dr Katy Sian, an academic who has spent 10 years studying what she has called the “forced conversions narrative” – the idea that Muslim “predators” are lurking on university campuses ready to lure vulnerable Sikh females into Islam.
Dr Sian, a lecturer in sociology at York University, told The Independent: “This is a story that continues to circulate within the Sikh community.
“The film therefore acts as another vehicle to further propagate hatred towards Muslims. It is deeply problematic, and reinforces both Islamophobia and patriarchy within the community.
“If they [Sikh Youth UK] are aligning themselves with Tommy Robinson, this could be seen to demonstrate their extremist tendencies.”
The film is also currently being investigated by Ofcom, which received a complaint that it “advocated retaliatory violence as acceptable” and contained “potentially offensive” references to Muslims.
But Sikh Youth UK has succeeded in having Misused Trust shown all over the UK, especially at university Sikh societies.

Carol Kaye plays bass guitar in a Los Angeles recording studio in the mid 1960’s.
Early in 2015’s Love & Mercy, a film based on the life of Brian Wilson, a foxy blonde in cat’s-eye sunglasses addresses the Beach Boys leader. “Hey, Brian? I think you might have screwed up here,” she says, gesturing to the sheet music with her pencil. “You’ve got Lyle playing in D, and the rest of us are in A major. How does that work? Two bass lines in two different keys?”
As she often was in real life, that blonde bassist Carol Kaye is the lone woman in the studio, and the only female member of an informal, unheralded lineup of talent — drummers, guitarists, percussionists, piano, and horn players — that you hear on the Beach Boys’ legendary Pet Sounds. She’s also on a jukebox’s worth of hit songs from the ’60s: Ritchie Valens’s “La Bamba,” Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,” Simon & Garfunkel’s “Scarborough Fair,” to name a few.
Mostly, these musicians were jazz players brought in from Los Angeles’s teeming nightclub scene to lend their chops to the recordings of rock bands, some of whom (like the Monkees) rarely touched an instrument inside a studio. So, dramatic liberties aside, it’s unlikely that “How does that work?” was a phrase uttered by the now 81-year-old Kaye, whom Wilson and Quincy Jones have called the greatest bassist in the world.
And yet, because so few people know her name, it’s all too easy to fictionalize a woman who made such a big and influential noise while working in the shadows, and in a nearly all-male world.
Kaye never exactly expected to be remembered. Most session musicians thought they were creating ephemeral pop hits, not lasting touchstones. “Music up to that time had a life span of about ten years,” says the chatty, gray-haired Kaye, speaking from the sofa in the living room of her home on a warm day in early April, her white poodle mix Rusty beside her. “We’re shocked those songs lived on.”
Legacies are complicated affairs. As anyone who shares success with other people knows, collaboration and dispute tend to go together. For instance, session drummer Hal Blaine claims he, Kaye, and their colleagues were known as the Wrecking Crew, a sobriquet he came up with after older studio hacks expressed a concern that these firebrands would “wreck” the music industry with their faddish rock. As nicknames go, the group’s is pretty badass — except, according to Kaye, it’s an ex post facto bit of mythmaking from Blaine. “We were never called that,” she says bluntly, and it bugs her that the term has stuck.
Not in dispute, though, are Kaye’s bona fides. “Carol’s genius was to look at extremely basic songs and figure out a way to make them interesting,” says Michael Molenda, editorial director of Bass Player magazine. “She’d listen to the musicians and just find that hooky, memorable bass line to drive the song forward.” She could show up at a session for Sonny & Cher’s “The Beat Goes On” and rescue the tune with a bouncy lick in F, or improvise, on a lark, a zippy bass solo on Mel Tormé’s classic “Games People Play” that makes the song.
Kaye doesn’t record much anymore, but she gives lessons via Skype, and if you order any of her 40 or so educational books and DVDs, you might receive some cool memorabilia, like a photocopy of her check for playing on the Mission: Impossible theme song ($70). Two years after moving into her one-story house here on the edge of the Mojave in Antelope Valley, California, and she still hasn’t finished unpacking decades’ worth of stuff, but her instruments are resting prominently in the living room.
“We liked [rock] because it was so easy, see,” she says of sessions that typically lasted a few hours and yielded five or six songs. “That meant we could do a whole album in six hours.” Assuming that album wasn’t for fellow bassist Wilson, that is. Pet Sounds, which turns 50 next month, took more than a year to finish, with upwards of 30 takes on tracks like “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” and Kaye’s favorite, “Sloop John B.” Wilson was heavily influenced by Phil Spector’s symphonic productions for the Ronettes and the Crystals, and Kaye worked for that notoriously difficult producer, too. Once, when a very pregnant Kaye needed to use the bathroom, Spector told her to maneuver through a studio packed tight with musicians without touching any of the mikes placed precariously around the room.
Wilson was less dictatorial, more experimental. “He’d say, ‘Okay, can you do a dooba dooba dooba?’ ” recalls Kaye, “and we’d go, ‘What’s a dooba dooba dooba?’ ” Kaye was unaware she was helping to create a masterpiece with Pet Sounds and on an instrument associated with Wilson. “[Pet Sounds] was just some more work for Brian,” she says. “By that time, he was having hit after hit after hit, so we thought, Okay, this is just another one.” Not quite. When Paul McCartney rhapsodizes about how the bass lines on that album partially inspired Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, he’s talking about Kaye’s performance.
More classic Kaye performances: “Then He Kissed Me,” the Crystals, 1963; “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling,” the Righteous Brothers, 1965; and “I’m a Believer,” the Monkees, 1966.
Carol Kaye (born Smith) grew up too fast like a lot of Depression-era children. Her parents were musicians, but her father sold her mom’s piano to finance a move from Washington to Wilmington, California, at the start of World War II. He was abusive, which is partially why Kaye takes a complicated view of Beach Boy patriarch Murry Wilson, who allegedly smacked Brian so hard he went deaf in one ear. “I’m not trying to stick up for him,” she says. “But most of us got hit back then. [In our house] the only thing that stopped the fights was music. I got the picture: If you do music, it makes things all right.”
At 9, Kaye encouraged her mom to divorce her father and took odd jobs cleaning apartments to earn some extra income. Perhaps noticing young Carol singing around the house, Kaye’s mom saved up $10 and bought her 13-year-old daughter a steel guitar from a traveling salesman. “Probably to get me out of her hair,” Kaye says. She took lessons from a teacher in Long Beach, who eventually set her up with gigs playing bebop in L.A. nightclubs.
But jazz didn’t pay much, and Kaye worked day jobs, including as a comptroller at Hughes Airport, to support her mother and children. She’d had a baby at 16 and pretended to be a widow until she married musician Al Kaye two years later. They had a second child but divorced soon after. “He drank a lot, and I couldn’t stop it,” she says.
One night in 1957, producer Robert “Bumps” Blackwell, an early associate of Ray Charles, walked into Hollywood’s Beverly Cavern looking for a guitarist to play on Sam Cooke’s “Summertime.” Kaye hesitated, because studio work often spelled the end of a jazz career, but it paid more than she made in a week.
The work became regular. One day a bassist was a no-show, Kaye switched instruments, and after that she was first call — the highest compliment you can bestow upon a session musician. Kaye estimates she was making the equivalent in today’s dollars of almost $10,000 per week by 1965. She booked so many dates that she would lay down on her case to catch a few minutes’ sleep. Fellow musicians’ “wives would come down to the studio, and I’d joke, ‘I slept with your husband today!’ ” she says.
Kaye’s second husband didn’t approve of her job’s late hours, and he especially didn’t like it when she was playing with black musicians, which was often — the late virtuoso drummer Earl Palmer was a close friend. So one night, Kaye came home late from a session for Ike Turner, who had paid the crew in cash, and woke her husband up by dumping the money on the bed. “That’s what the ladies of the evening got back then,” she says with a grin. Kaye divorced him not long after, got a live-in nanny, and said, “Screw it, I’m working.”
Even in retrospect, Kaye doesn’t necessarily see that kind of career-oriented attitude as feminist. Honing her craft in jazz clubs, where women weren’t an anomaly, she didn’t consider gender an issue, so whenever she was treated to an insult, Kaye would hurl it right back with a “Well, you play good for a guy.”
It got to be so that if she couldn’t make a date, producers asked other bassists for “the Carol Kaye sound,” which she says boils down to clean lines, perfect timing, and hard picking that let her “dance on top of the beat,” which she does most gloriously on “Good Vibrations.” You can hear other prime examples on the opening to Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman,” on which her playing somehow translated the song’s feeling of mystical whimsy, and in the verve of her lines on Joe Cocker’s “Feeling Alright.”
As she talks, Kaye is momentarily distracted by an ice-cream truck cruising down the cul-de-sac, blasting a ragtime tune. “He stopped in front of my yard one time,” she says, eyeing the screen door. “I said, ‘Move that fucking truck!’ Excuse my language. I was shy for a while, but working with men all the time, it’s like, ‘Ugh, screw off.’ ”
She also appears on “Homeward Bound,” Simon & Garfunkel, 1966 and “River Deep – Mountain High,” Ike & Tina Turner, 1966.
A roundtable in 2015’s The Wrecking Crew documentary gives a sense of what it was like not to be a white guy in a studio in the ’60s. “I don’t think anyone ever really felt that [Carol] was a woman-woman,” says Hal Blaine, which probably passed for respect at the time. Meanwhile, guitarist Tommy Tedesco teases Kaye about the sexual-harassment lawsuits she could have filed. (Kaye did sue Tedesco in the early ’80s for allegedly calling her a “dumb cunt.”)
By 1969, Kaye was exhausted. She was sick of drinking multiple cups of bad coffee every day, and the music started to sound “like cardboard.” Things were even worse at home. Within the span of two weeks that year, Kaye’s first husband and fiancé both died, and her house was robbed. She got into a car accident on the way to one of the funerals, and then Charles Manson, whom she had met with Brian Wilson, masterminded a killing spree. “Everybody got scared,” says Kaye. “We pulled our names and phone numbers out of the union books so fast.” Some of her colleagues began carrying guns to work.
By then, Kaye had started a publishing company to release her book, How to Play the Electric Bass. She still went to the studio, but it was mostly for soundtrack work — that’s Kaye on the theme songs to M.A.S.H. and Shaft. More and more, rock bands felt that having other musicians on their albums was inauthentic.
“We knew that someday [the rock sessions] would stop,” says Kaye, who ended up on food stamps for a while after signing a crooked publishing deal (which she prefers not to discuss). Circumstances eventually improved, and she was content to return to playing jazz and transition into teaching. She estimates she makes a few thousand dollars a year in residuals from her studio days, though she has to be vigilant about tracking down contracts in order to prove that, yes, it’s her on Ray Charles’s “America the Beautiful.” It’s just another aspect of what’s become a minor battle for control over the Wrecking Crew narrative — getting credit, something Kaye doesn’t have an appetite for.
“I don’t need somebody to say ‘You’re great,’ because they could easily say ‘You’re terrible.’ But you can’t take away a person’s musicianship,” she says. “Everybody wants to be somebody. What is that? When you’re born, you are somebody. Why do you have to keep proving yourself all the time?”

When we launched HuffPost Impact, our new section devoted to service, causes, and giving back, I wrote about my longstanding (and, now, finally realized) desire to put the spotlight -- 24/7 -- on the work of nonprofit groups in a way that enables people to be inspired and immediately take action to address the urgent needs in our society.
To this end, we have decided to regularly feature nonprofit groups that are working in the trenches every day to help turn people's lives around.
To kick things off, I've decided to pick an organization very close to my heart, A Place Called Home.
A Place Called Home is a remarkable place, with a remarkable backstory.
Back in the early 90s, Debrah Constance was a successful real estate agent, earning over $100,000 a year. She also had a serious drinking problem, for which she was eventually hospitalized. Her recovery inspired her to find a new focus for her life: service.
Determined to make her life about something larger than herself, she met with a consultant for nonprofits who stopped her in her tracks by asking: "What do you really want to do with your life?"
The answer came to her in an instant: "All I want to do is open a safe house for children who live around Jefferson High School, in South Central Los Angeles, where they can get off the street, get a healthy snack, watch TV and do their homework."
The next day, she told her boss she was quitting. He gave her six months severance pay and an office. Six months later, she opened A Place Called Home (APCH).
It started with twelve inner city kids in the basement of a church. Within three years, A Place Called Home was serving 400 kids and moved to a new 10,000 square foot facility. It now has a LAUSD school on site and boasts a recording studio, a computer center, and programs in music, art, dance, yoga, tutoring and mentoring.
I met Debrah in 1994, and was immediately swept up by her energy, passion, and commitment to helping "her kids." I eventually joined the organization's advisory board. Volunteering at A Place Called Home has had a profound effect on my life, and on the lives of my daughters.
Spend any time there and you can see that, even over 17 years later, Debrah and a great team -- executive director Jonathan Zeichner, chief operating officer Angela Maldonado and associate director Scott Culbertson -- are people on a mission: providing at-risk kids with a secure place where they can break free from the gangs, drugs, and poverty that surround them.
One of the most inspiring -- and most in need of help -- programs at A Place Called Home is their scholarship program, in association with the David & Linda Shaheen Foundation, which helps kids go to college or a trade school -- kids who often couldn't even dream such a thing was possible.
The kids at A Place Called Home live in some of the poorest and most crime-riddled neighborhoods in the country. Many go to Jefferson High, which has the fifth lowest graduation rate in the entire country. They often have siblings in gangs, parents who are sometimes in jail and sometimes less than supportive, and they are usually the first in their family to have even considered applying to college -- let alone actually go.
To make this dream a reality, A Place Called Home started a SAT prep program. So far, 100 percent of the students who have entered the SAT program have completed it. The students then apply for an A Place Called Home scholarship -- the money goes towards tuition, guidance counseling, and basic needs like clothes to wear to class.
Talk to the folks at A Place Called Home, and the success stories roll out: Gerica, who became interested in filmmaking at APCH and who is now majoring in film at San Jose State; Martha, who got a scholarship and went on to earn her nursing degree; Elijah, who scored so high on the SATs he had his pick of schools -- he ended up choosing a small school in Colorado, the first in his family to go to college.
Last year, A Place Called Home gave out 58 scholarships totaling $250,000. But, given the number of worthy applicants, if they had the money, they could easily quadruple that number.
"There's this misconception," says executive director Jonathan Zeichner, "that kids who grow up in this neighborhood -- which is rife with violence and gangs and poverty and a liquor store on every corner -- don't want to excel. But, as soon as you give them the opportunity and let them know that it's a possibility for them, they're clamoring for it."
To help one of the kids at A Place Called Home excel -- to take the leap from the mean streets of L.A. to a college campus -- we've created a special HuffPost Impact Fund. With $5,000 we can give a worthy student a leg up on a much brighter future.
To donate, click on the widget below. You can also give to A Place Called Home directly from your cellphone -- text HOME to 85944 and $5 will be added to the Fund and charged to your phone bill (all of the money will go to the scholarship fund). Don't forget to confirm your donation by replying YES.
(UPDATE: thanks to your generosity, we have reached our goal of raising $5,000. Since there are so many worthy applicants, we're going to keep the Fund active -- let's see if we can raise enough to send another at-risk kid to college.)
Once the HuffPost Impact Fund goal has been reached, and the A Place Called Home scholarship recipient chosen, we will keep you updated on who is picked and what school the student will be going to, so you can see how your contribution is changing a life.
So please give what you can to A Place Called Home's scholarship program. And please send me your suggestions for other great groups we should be turning the Impact spotlight on. | positive |

The leg moved like a tube sock pinned to the hip and half filled with sticks. I did not like to see it suffer, either. She was upset —my mother —that no one helped the doe. Was it a mother, too? As if we were the first to observe the scene. We weren’t. All had been told to let her be. My mother had suffered a destruction of the self, a divorce, and no one cared. That wasn’t true. We were grown, on our own. I agree it was hard. Yet in those moments of a cold November day, we watched a doe, disabled and enduring, walk across a yard and eat a hedge.

American actress Carrie Fisher attends the winner's room at the EE British Academy Film Awards in London on February 14. File Photo by Rune Hellestad/UPI | License Photo
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher was listed in stable condition late Friday after she suffered a massive heart attack on a transatlantic flight to Los Angeles, a relative said.
According to a report by TMZ, the 60-year-old actress went into cardiac arrest in the first-class cabin of the plane while en route from London to California.
An EMT who was a passenger in the back of the aircraft administered CPR to Fisher 15 minutes before the plane landed and she was transported to a nearby hospital.
The Los Angeles Times reported she was listed in critical condition upon arrival at the hospital. Fisher's brother reportedly said she was eventually stabilized.
United Airlines said in a statement that medical personnel met Flight 935 on arrival at Los Angeles International Airport after a passenger was found unresponsive.
"Our thoughts are with our customer at this time," the statement read.
The daughter of entertainers Debbie Reynolds and the late Eddie Fisher is also an author, who candidly writes about her battles with bipolar disorder and drug addiction, and frequently mines her memoirs for stage shows.The star has lately been on the promotion trail for her latest book The Princess Diarist.
In addition to appearing in five Star Wars blockbusters as Princess Leia, Fisher has also co-starred in the films Shampoo, The Blues Brothers, Hannah and Her Sisters, The 'Burbs, When Harry Met Sally... and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. She reportedly had been in London filming scenes for the sitcom Catastophe this week. | positive |

6 Weird Music Videos
There are basically two kinds of music videos: either the band just stands around playing in a series of generic shots for a few minutes, or you get a brief period of complete and utter madness. The latter is common enough that it may seem pointless to draw attention to them, but there are some that take it to the next, absolutely insane level, and we feel they must be recognized. And then avoided, for the sake of your mental health.
1. Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Closer is a song about Trent Reznor, the man behind Nine Inch Nails, having angry, angry sex. And what demonstrates this theme better than mad scientists, detailed diagrams of female genitalia, a spinning pig head, animal carcasses and, um, a crucified monkey? Look, we’re not experts, but we know enough about sex to understand that none of that is either necessary or recommended. OK, we guess the diagrams could come in handy if it’s your first time, but really, you should just try to operate on instinct.
Anyway, this video proved to be fairly controversial, although the song’s pretty explicit lyrics and the odd shot of a naked woman probably fuelled most of that. Despite that, it still became a hit, proving to be both an immensely popular song and video. We’d like to think that had something to do with the totally bitching aviator glasses Reznor wore for parts of the video.
2. Aphex Twin – Come to Daddy
Aphex Twin are famous for their weird music videos (they’re not famous for making enjoyable music, so we guess they had to get their name out somehow), and while we could have easily just populated this entire list with their filmography and called it a day, Come to Daddy represents the cream of the messed up crop.
We start off with an old lady walking her dog, and, as is the point of this activity, it pauses to urinate. In particular, it does so on a broken television, which sets off a series of completely insane events. First, a creepy face shows up on the TV and scares the hell out of the woman. We then see a bunch of weird looking kids (or possibly midgets, it’s hard to tell) take the television and run around town, causing trouble and rioting and just generally doing things that troublesome kids/midgets tend to do.
Then the old lady gets screamed at by a sort of alien thing, and we close with a bunch of rapid-fire shots that are pure nightmare fuel. Man, we’d love to meet the elderly woman who agreed to take part in this video. Assuming they actually hired one and didn’t just harass one on the streets, which, frankly, wouldn’t surprise us at all.
3. Tool – Parabola
OK, so how do you top that in terms of creepiness? Simple, just do basically the same thing except make it just over ten minutes long. Tool is also known for their strange videos, but this one takes the crown because of its sheer length. Hell, they even combined two different songs into one in order to get the video this long. So, what concept did they have that was so amazing it needed ten minutes of your time?
Well, the first few minutes involve a bunch of orc-like figures in nice suits very slowly cutting fruit. Great, that was worth all the extra time. Oh, and then they vomit a bunch of black sludge. Is this some sort of anti-fruit statement by Tool?
Oh, but we’re just getting started. The next seven minutes involve a slightly more human looking dude and a stop-motion alien having all sorts of wacky adventures. And by wacky we mean the guy yells at some spheres, and then he dissects the alien, and then you get bored and turn off the video.
Depending on how generous you’re feeling you could describe this as anything between “imaginative, abstract imagery” or “a bunch of random, pretentious crap.” Given its sheer length we tend to lean towards the latter, but at least it’s not going to give you nightmares like the previous video. | positive |

They can be used in the comfort of your own backyard or even indoors on rainy days! Whether you’re just starting out as a player or you’ve been playing for years, rebound nets offer many benefits. In this article, we will explore some of the top four reasons why rebound nets are important for tennis solo practice. 1. They’re Perfect for Solo Practice One of the most obvious reasons rebound nets are important for tennis solo practice is that they’re perfect when you want to play independently. Instead of having to find a court or slot in at one, all you need to do is set up and start hitting! It makes them very convenient if you don’t have much time between other commitments. 2. Great for Youth and Beginner Players Another reason why rebound nets are important for tennis solo practice is that they’re great for beginning players. If you have to wait long between lessons or don’t live near an established club, the net provides an extra opportunity to hit and improve your skills. For younger kids (or those who aren’t very coordinated), being able to get immediate feedback on their shots is a huge bonus. They can see where the ball goes and correct their mistakes much more quickly than if they were just hitting into an open space. This type of practice is also great for developing hand-eye coordination – an essential skill in tennis. 3. Can Create Game Realism Rebound nets are a great way to create game realism for the tennis court resurfacing in Atlanta. If you use the same types of balls and similar playing conditions, it will feel very much like you’re in the competition! It can help improve your performance when it comes time to hit an actual match or tournament. 4. Can be Used Across Multiple Surfaces You can use your rebound net on a wide range of surfaces.

You see Sophia completely smashes the myth that advice based business has to be done face to face – and in particular that financial advice has to be face to face – and cannot be done online. You see I have been arguing that for quite some time – and many people I know, and respect, have told me that it was impossible. But, then along comes Sophia Bera, and she is living proof that it is possible. Sophia is the Founder of Gen Y Planning. Not only that, Sophia goes another step forward and demonstrates how she has built a recurring revenue business – and with clients that do NOT have assets under management. How clever is that! You see, Sophia works virtually with her clients, the majority of whom are in their 20s and 30s – a target market frequently ignored because, generally, they don’t have assets under management. Sophia has built her business on that target market. In the interview I did with Sophia, which you can listen to here, you can hear how Sophia manages her business fully online, how she breaks the other myth of not being able to build strong relationships virtually, and how her clients find her online! If you want to listen to someone who has taken the traditional approach to advice based business and turned it on its head, then listen to this interview with Sophia. Sophia is someone I admire and respect, and I am thrilled to share her story with you today. Check it out here.

Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption The BBC's Martin Patience says there is a carnival atmosphere on the streets
Thousands have joined pro-democracy protests which have spread in Hong Kong on China's 65th National Day.
The protesters want China to withdraw plans to vet candidates for the next Hong Kong leadership election in 2017.
Hong Kong leader CY Leung was heckled as he addressed a flag-raising ceremony, where he urged them to back electoral reforms set out by Beijing.
A student protest leader has said they will occupy government buildings if Mr Leung does not resign by Thursday.
Lester Shum, of the Hong Kong Federation of Students, told reporters there was "no room for dialogue" with Hong Kong's chief executive after he ordered police to fire tear gas at demonstrators at the weekend.
Mr Shum said student leaders would welcome an opportunity to speak with a Chinese central government official, but not with Mr Leung.
Image copyright AFP Image caption With schools and offices closed on the public holiday, families were seen in the streets on Wednesday
Former Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten told the BBC there should be "a new period of genuine consultation" over democratic reform.
Lord Patten said dialogue "must replace tear gas and pepper spray" and that the current situation represented "a breach of what the Chinese government have promised Hong Kong".
"They said these matters were within the autonomy of the Hong Kong government and they are now reneging on that."
Family atmosphere
Protesters have gathered at the main protest sites in the Central business district, Causeway Bay and Mong Kok.
A fourth protest site has also spread to Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, a major shopping district several roads south of Mong Kok.
Carrie Gracie, BBC News China editor, Hong Kong
The 65th anniversary of China's communist revolution began in Hong Kong with a flag-raising ceremony made for TV audiences across China. Nothing was allowed to disrupt the choreography.
The only members of the public allowed to attend were dressed in red baseball caps and T-shirts, waving Chinese flags. One told me the democracy protesters "had ulterior motives and were marginal anyway".
Police were in attendance to protect both the flag and embattled Chief Executive CY Leung. He reminded his fellow citizens that Hong Kong's special status in China, known as "one country, two systems", means just that. It was an implied rebuke to protesters demanding Beijing overturn its restrictions on nominations for the 2017 leadership election.
The protesters are determined to be seen and heard. Some were outside the ceremony, turning their backs on the national flag.
And less than a mile away, crowds were voting with their feet, streaming into what they're now calling Democracy Square, an encampment filled with umbrellas and a sea of freedom flags. The national flag of China nowhere to be seen.
China media: HK 'social order'
Carrie Gracie: 12 hours of protests
World press follows Hong Kong protests
The BBC's Juliana Liu, in Hong Kong, says that many families and parents with young children were in the streets on Wednesday, changing the atmosphere dramatically compared to Sunday, when police fired tear gas and pepper spray at the crowds.
Mr Leung attended a ceremony marking China's 65th National Day, which celebrates the founding of communist China in 1949.

The flag-raising ceremony went ahead peacefully but a fireworks display was cancelled.
Mr Leung said that while people had different ideas about what constituted a "desirable reform package", it was better to have the right to vote than not.
Beijing ruled last month that it would allow Hong Kong people to elect their next leader in 2017. But the choice of candidates will be restricted to those approved by a pro-Beijing committee.

China challenge
The demonstrators - who include student groups, supporters of the Occupy Central movement and others angered by the police response - were hoping for greater numbers on Wednesday.
Occupy Central co-founder Chan Kin-man said the protests would spread like "blossoming flowers" unless the government started to listen to their demands.
There are no signs of concessions from Beijing. On Tuesday Chinese President Xi Jinping told Communist Party leaders that his government would "steadfastly safeguard the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macau".
Image copyright Reuters Image caption Chief Executive CY Leung, third right, did not specifically refer to the protests in his address
The protests are seen as a direct challenge to Beijing's grip on the territory's politics. Analysts say leaders are worried that calls for democracy could spread to mainland cities.
News of the protests is being heavily censored in mainland China. Media have blamed "radical opposition forces" for stirring up trouble.
The White House said the legitimacy of Hong Kong's chief executive would be greatly enhanced "if the Basic Law's ultimate aim of selection of the chief executive by universal suffrage is fulfilled and if the election provides the people of Hong Kong a genuine choice of candidates representative of the voters' will".

Ken glanced at the calendar on his wall.
Ken: “Oh no, I forgot!”
Ken: “I’m sorry I’m so late, Chizu. I-
“Hey I don’t want to hear your excuses, okay? You’re thirty minutes late!”
Ken: “Yes, I know. But you need to understand that I have a lot on my mind. I’m visiting my uncle tomorrow and also-
“You’re so self-absorbed, Ken.”
…
“Oh I see, well good bye then Mr. Yakamoto. Hmph!”
Jack’s voice: “Are you nuts man?”
“Wow, you screwed up big time. Holy shit man.”
Ken: “Uh, Jack? What the hell are you doing here?”
Jack: “Pfft. None of your damn business!”
Ken: …
Jack: “Well alright. If you insist.”
“The reason I’m here is because I happened to be walking by this restaurant when I saw you run in here.”
“And so then I was like, ‘hey why’s the karate guy running into that restaurant?’ So then I followed you in here-
-and then I, uh, saw this little scene unfold.”
Ken: …
Jack: “Anyway, I’ll see ya tomorrow man.”
Ken: “Oh, about that Jack.”
Jack turns around: “Rise and shine!"
"Oh and by the way, I don’t have a car so I guess you’ll have to drive me to your uncle’s or whatever.”
The next day…
Yoshi guided his robot with a controller. He made it walk towards the passenger seat of his car and then had it sit down inside.
Yoshi: “Hey, so there’s a sneak peak huh? But just wait till you really see this puppy in action!” (Nasally laugh)
As Yoshi closed the door, they heard footsteps coming closer to them.
Jack looked back and forth: “… Well alright then.”
…
Ken: “Jack Green, meet Yoshi Jukodo. He’ll be driving you.”
Jack: “Uh… Yoshi?”
“There appears to be someone in my seat.”
Yoshi: “Oh, that’s the super fighting robot. My-
Jack interrupts: “Yeah, well anyway. Let’s move him into the back.”
Yoshi: “No!”
Jack: “Ehh???”
Yoshi: “I have to make sure that my invention is in perfect condition. There’s not enough room in the backseat.”
Jack: “Are you kidding me?!”
“There is plenty of room back here for your little metal man.”
“Whereas I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m really tall and I need lots of leg room!”
Yoshi: “I, I’m sorry. But I need to make sure the robot is in top condition. The back seat will ruin its posture.”
“I, I’m very sorry that this is such an inconvenience for you Mr. Green. But I-
Jack interrupts: “Oh my God, this is ridiculous. I mean no offense, but your car is a piece of shit anyway. Whereas look at Ken’s car.”
“Now that is what I call a sexy car.”
Yoshi: “Uh, I don’t think Ken wants… um…”
Jack: “Hey Ken!”
Jack: “Whoa! Fine, I get it. You don’t want a filthy scumbag like me riding in your car, eh?!”
Jack opened the back door to Yoshi’s car.
Yoshi: “Um?”
Jack: “It’s alright man. I’ll just lay back here.”
Yoshi: “Oh, but shouldn’t you wear a seatbelt?”
Ken beeped his car’s horn.
Yoshi: “Oh, sounds like Ken is getting impatient. Time to go!”
And so Ken, Yoshi and Jack left Aomori city to visit Hideaki. | positive |

The Mets were ravaged by injuries in 2017 and won just 70 games, the fewest since 2009. Matt Harvey, Noah Syndergaard and Yoenis Céspedes all missed much of the season. With the Mets out of contention early, attendance at Citi Field dropped 12% compared with 2016, to an average of 30,757 per game. SNY’s average rating for Mets games in 2017 was 2.31% of New York-area homes, down 15% from last year when the Mets made the postseason for the second year in a row. The Mets turned to Cleveland Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway as their new manager for 2018 after the Indians led baseball in ERA last season. The club signed a long-term deal during the offseason with New Balance for the Boston-based brand to be the official footwear and apparel partner of the team and Citi Field. More » | positive |
Texas to feral pigs: It's time for the 'hog apocalypse' to begin
Texas has a new plan for its 2.5 million feral hogs: total annihilation.
Sid Miller, the state's agriculture commissioner, just approved a pesticide — called "Kaput Feral Hog Lure" — for statewide use.
"The 'hog apocalypse' may finally be on the horizon," Miller said in a statement on Tuesday.
SEE ALSO: First human-pig chimeras created, sparking hopes for transplantable organs — and debate
"This solution is long overdue," he added. "Wild hogs have caused extensive damage to Texas lands and loss of income for many, many years."
Texas's agriculture commission estimates that feral hogs cause $52 million in damage each year to agricultural businesses by tearing up crops and pastures, knocking down fences and ruining equipment.
The so-called hog lure is derived from warfarin, a blood-thinning agent that's also used to kill rats and mice in homes and buildings. Animals don't die immediately from eating the odorless, tasteless chemical. That would be too kind. Instead, they keep eating it until the anti-clotting properties cause them to bleed to death internally.
This week, Miller approved a rule change in the Texas Administrative Code that allows landowners and agricultural producers to use Kaput — essentially warfarin-laced pellets — to keep feral hogs off their property.
Not on my watch, hogs. More

Proponents of the hog toxicant, including the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service, say it's an effective tool because it's only strong enough to kill the swine, and not other wildlife populations or livestock.
In January, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registered Kaput's hog bait under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, a move that made the product available for general use.
Still, environmentalists and hog hunters alike staunchly oppose using warfarin to stamp out Texas's feral pig problem.
Pigs poop, after all, and other animals could ingest the warfarin along the way. Some Texans hunt the pigs for sport and food, and they're worried about eating poisoned swine.
"For Texas to introduce a poison into the equation is a bad decision in our opinion and could likely contaminate humans who unknowingly process and eat feral hogs," the Texas Hog Hunters Association said in a Change.org petition to block the rule change. | positive |
China calls for the world to 'de-Americanize' as IMF chief warns of the global disruption that a failure to end debt stand-off would cause
The Chinese government issued the criticisms through the state-run Xinhua News Agency
China called the U.S. 'hypocritical' and wondered aloud why the world has given it such a concentration of power
China holds more U.S. debt ($1.28trillion) than any other nation
China is warning the world to divest itself of American interests as the risk of a default rises with each passing day while the Thursday debt ceiling deadline draws ever closer.
Through official government news agency Xinhua, the Chinese government Sunday denounced the current state of the U.S. government and it’s finances, advising it would be a good time to start considering a ‘de-Americanised’ world.
‘It is perhaps a good time for the befuddled world to start considering building a de-Americanised world,’ the Guardian first reported the Chinese news agency said.
Fix it: International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde warns if the U.S. doesn't raise the debt ceiling that the world economy will be plunged into another deep recession
Officials in both the American government and abroad are also voicing concerns that the failure to come to an agreement on raising the debt ceiling before Thursday’s deadline would have a grave impact on the world’s economy.
Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has repeatedly voiced concern that the U.S. government will go broke, having no money to pay bills this Thursday, should an agreement not be reached.
Despite several senior Democratic and Republican Party leaders meeting Sunday in Washington, it does not appear any progress has been made in negotiations.
The Senate needs to hold tough,' Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) told House GOP lawmakers. 'The president now isn't negotiating with us.’
Those words came as news of talks breaking down even further infuriate Americans, sparking a march Sunday through Washington, D.C. of veterans protesting the closure of several monuments.
Working on it: Democratic Senate Majority Leader from Nevada Harry Reid speaks Saturday on negotiations over the Debt Limit Bill
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) also lamented the lack of progress.
'I was happy to see the Republicans engaged in talks with the president, the House Republicans.
That’s over with. It’s done. They’re not talking anymore,' Reid said.
'I say to my friends on the Republican side of this Senate, time is running out.'
President Barack Obama voiced his exasperation with the situation on his weekly radio address.
Democratic braintrust: U.S. President Barack Obama (2nd L) meets with Senate Democratic leadership, including (L-R) Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), Senate Majority Whip Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL), and Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)
‘It doesn't have to be this way. It's not supposed to be this way,’ the president said, adding ‘Manufacturing crises to extract massive concessions isn't how our democracy works, and we have to stop it.’
Referring to Republicans’ unwillingness to discuss anything unless Obamacare is defunded, Mr Obama said that ‘politics is a battle of ideas, but you advance those ideas through elections and legislation - not extortion.’
Christine Lagarde, International Monetary Fund chief, shared her concerns with NBC’s ‘Meet the press.’
‘If there is that degree of disruption, that lack of certainty, that lack of trust in the US signature, it would mean massive disruption the world over,’ she told the program .
Also working on it: Republican Speaker of the House from Ohio, John Boehner (center) leaves a Republican conference Saturday in the US Capitol
‘We would be at risk of tipping, yet again, into recession,’ she added.
Xinhua took further shots and the U.S., despite China being the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt.
‘Such alarming days when the destinies of others are in the hands of a hypocritical nation have to be terminated,’ the news agency ranted.
‘The cyclical stagnation in Washington for a viable bipartisan solution over a federal budget and an approval for raising debt ceiling has again left many nations’ tremendous dollar assets in jeopardy and the international community highly agonised,’ the commentary furthered.
China holds $1.28trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds – an American government default is four days away, unless politicians can make a deal. | positive |
Erta Ale, the most active volcano in Ethiopia, is located in the Afar Region
Earth scientist Dr Dougal Jerram, from Durham University, joined a BBC team to investigate the geology of the Danakil desert in northern Ethiopia - officially the hottest place on Earth. Here is his account of mapping an active volcano from inside the crater. Like a true journey to the centre of the Earth, volcanoes provide a unique window into our planet's interior. They provide a direct means by which our Earth cools itself, form a vital link with the developing atmosphere and can be an awesome yet terrible hazard to the people and animals that live around them. But just how do we get into the guts of a volcano? This is exactly what I set out to do as part of a scientific expedition into the Danakil desert. As part of a team headed by Kate Humble, with vet Steve Leonard, medic Mukal Agarwal and biologist Richard Wiese, and a full expedition crew, we explored the region's legendary Afar tribes people, saw how the animals and man live in the extreme environment and came face to face with one of the Earth's most geologically active areas. Feeling the heat To get "up close and personal" with the active volcanic environment in the Danakil, I used 3D technology from the University of Durham's structural and visualisation facility, to provide a high resolution 3D map of the inside of a volcano.
This 3D technology uses millions of laser points reflected off surfaces to map out features of interest, providing a virtual 3D reconstruction of the environment surrounding the scan site, with a resolution down to millimetres. The team was able to test the equipment at the Dabbahu fissure The only problem was how to get the laser scanner into the volcano to capture this real life snapshot of such an active and dangerous phenomena. On the way to the volcano we encountered the harsh living conditions in the Afar at first hand as we followed the old routes into the Danakil desert, where the active volcanoes are located. The geology team had two main objectives: to test the equipment's portability through a camel train to image a giant volcanic crack - the Dabbahu fissure. The other goal was to get down into Erte Ale, one of the oldest lava lakes on the planet. The Dabbahu fissure opened overnight in 2005, where the ground literally tore itself apart as part of a much larger process which is happening as the Horn of Africa rips away from the main African continent, forming the Great African Rift system. It is very rare to witness such a fissure forming event, pretty much as it happens and the team was keen to get the scanning equipment to the fissure to record this geological wonder before it erodes and becomes just another scar on the landscape. This part of the expedition was almost thwarted by the difficulty of getting the equipment to the fissure and the fact that dangerous gases are still emanating from it. 'Gateway to hell' With only 12 hours at the fissure, geologist Steve Smith and I managed to get three scans of the fissure completed and provide a vital test of the equipment before embarking on the main part of the expedition - to scale Erte Ale and provide the first laser scan of one of the oldest lava lakes on the planet. Please turn on JavaScript. Media requires JavaScript to play. The scanning equipment weighed some 80kg and, for the most part, was being transported to the experiment sites by camel - a fitting mode of transport for such state-of-the-art kit. Now the team needed to get the kit and the scanning team down into the heart of Erte Ale and get a scan from within the crater itself. Standing at the lip of the lava lake you can see why the locals see this as "the gateway to hell", as the incandescent bubbling lava lake hisses like some badly burned porridge cauldron, overturning and occasionally belching molten lava. This was to be a major technological feat, as well as a science first. The kit, myself and Steve, plus camera man and climbing expert all needed to get down into the volcano, set up the final laser scan and get out in one piece. It was a precision job, like landing on the Moon, as the team lowered into Erte Ale and recorded the first ever 3D laser scan of this remarkable volcano. The laser scanning technology enabled us to investigate the natural environment in a completely new light by bringing the outcrop with its inaccessible cliffs, volcanic fissures and lava lakes into the computer where it could be analysed. Such data provides the high resolution details from which we can see how the Earth's structures have formed, measures the exact size and shape of the volcano and provides a vital snapshot of the Earth's active and sometimes violent volcanic system in action.

Because we had business associates throughout America and Africa, this was relatively easy. In addition, all our investors were bringing to the company many years of experience and through that, had already established many contacts. We are also in touch with US embassies abroad as well as African embassies outside of the region which assist us in learning about a company’s reputation. We look at the Chambers of Commerce of all the cities we’re interested in, but through all of this we make sure to not run before we can walk. And then of course there is the Internet. Next we think about what goods we want to import and thereafter how these are imported and distributed and if it is realistic vis-à-vis price and handling. Then there is the marketing side of things – set up an email campaign and/or questionnaire; find out the demand for the product; figure out what language it all needs to be in. When it comes to exporting, make sure you are informed at all times. Talk to people; read up on world trade; ask who is selling what to whom and how? Figure out what is not being done so well and work out a way to do it better. This all spells success. Continue reading...

In my opinion toast is the ultimate snack, or breakfast, or lunch, or dinner. And I’m not talking about plain old toast. I’m talking about the type of toast that has fancy cheeses, exotic fruits, or fresh herbs. On social media land there’s been a recent influx in toast related topics. One of my favourite hashtags to follow is #thingsontoast. It’s a great source of inspiration — or should I say toastspiration.
Recently I shared our Grandma’s bread recipe, and suddenly had more bread than I really needed. So I thought I’d put that bread to good use and share my favourite #thingsontoast.
The above for pieces of toast are some of my at-the-moment favourite ways to eat toast. No PB&J for me!
avocado, vegannaise (or mayonnaise), crushed red pepper vanilla greek yogurt, blackberries (or blueberries, or strawberries) butter, bocconcini cheese, tomatoes, fresh basil, salt & pepper ricotta cheese, radishes, chives, salt

The RMU online team mission statement says that they are, “committed to providing an innovative, student-centered online learning environment that fosters and supports personal and professional goals to enable individuals to lead with integrity in a diverse and rapidly changing world.” Adam Sullivan, curriculum and instructional designer for the online team, explained that he is currently designing 22 online classes for the following spring semester, with the help of input and feedback from faculty members. Sullivan further explained that these classes span across all of the university’s major programs. “I work with faculty members to design activities and lessons for online classes,” Sullivan said. Blackboard is the online computer program that RMU uses for their online classes. Blackboard allows students to submit assignments, take exams, access lectures and communicate with other students in the class. Sullivan talked about the challenges that arise when turning a traditional classroom curriculum into an online curriculum. One of the challenges he elaborated on was designing the class so that the students are aware that they are working with real people and not just a computer. “When a lot of people think online, they think of a robot doing what’s behind the scenes,” Sullivan said. To combat this issue, Sullivan works on finding ways to make connections between the professor and the student. He explained that discussion boards and comment sections are two methods that open the communication channel and make the learning experience more personable. Despite his efforts, Sullivan said that he still gets feedback from students who ask “are you really real?” Ryan Cobb, a nursing student, has taken a few online classes at RMU. Cobb explained that, for him, it is difficult to become invested in an online class. “I just go on to Blackboard, submit my assignments, and move on to the next assignment.” Cobb explained the main reason that he does not become invested in an online class is because he feels they are impersonal compared to a regular classroom setting. In an effort to resolve this issue of being impersonal while learning online, Tina Gitelman, manager of online student services, explained that the RMU online team has three student service representatives. Charlene Sundgaard, Lisa Hladon and Nicole Williams work with students who are in the online program each day. “We are the line of communication for the online students,” Gitelman said referring to her department. She explained that “every day is different” because of the diversity of the students and their needs. Some of the main issues that the team handles for online students include helping them order books, answering financial aid questions, showing them how to log on to and use Blackboard, and resolving any issues with student emails. Gitelman explained that, since the online students are usually off campus, her department is the spokesperson for the them. Sullivan agrees and said that, “we are here for the students; that is truly why we are here.” blackboard online classes RMU Robert Morris University 1 Vice President for Public Relations and Marketing Jonathan Potts to leave Robert Morris 2 “Spy Ninjas Live” need your help at the UPMC Events Center 3 Police Blotter: 8/30/22-9/05/22 4 Donnie Iris and the Cruisers to perform at the UPMC Events Center 5 BobbyMania 2022 (Photo Gallery) 6 BREAKING: Robert Morris RB Jonathan Wynn facing criminal charges for performing sex acts in public 7 How Harajuku is the Powerhouse of Japanese Fashion 8 Spider-Man: No Way Home Swings Back into Theaters 9 Police Blotter (Aug 16, 2022-Aug 22, 2022) RMU Sentry Media Facebook Twitter Instagram YouTube About Us Our Staff Join Our Staff Advertisement Rates Colonial Sports Network RMU Sentry Media • © 2022 • Advertise • FLEX Pro WordPress Theme by SNO • Log in 0 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Print Close Close Modal Window Comments (0) All RMU Sentry Media Picks Reader Picks Sort: Newest Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.

BOURNEMOUTH held the rare title of the wettest place in the UK on Sunday.
Measurements analysed yesterday showed the resort had the most rainfall with 33.9mm found to have fallen over the 24 hours from 12am.
Bournemouth and the Dorset coast are more commonly credited with being the sunniest and warmest places and weather expert Dr Richard Wild cannot remember the last time it was the wettest area.
Richard, of Bournemouth based WeatherNet Ltd, said: “It was a noticeable amount of rain.
“And it appears Bournemouth was the wettest place in the UK.”
Some of the heaviest rain fell on Sunday morning, with 7.8mm falling between 6am and 7am.
It was a cool day too with the maximum temperature at 8.1 degrees.
Gale force winds were also recorded at the weather station at Hurn, reaching 43mph.
Richard added: “Bournemouth and the Dorset coast area is generally regarded as the sunniest place in the UK.
“Bournemouth often appears at the top of the sunshine league and as one of the warmest “We don’t often have the wettest day and it’s the least common for Bournemouth.
“I could not tell you the last time we had the wettest.”
But Richard said the town saw double that amount of rain during the heavy downpours that hit the resort last summer.
Parts of North and West Dorset saw snow fall at the weekend but Richard said that does not warn of a particularly cold winter ahead and does not indicate whether there is a chance of a white Christmas this year.
Met Office spokesman Dan Williams said the rain on Sunday represented a third of the average amount of total rainfall for the month of November.
The Bournemouth and Poole area was expected to remain mostly dry today at around 12C and getting milder as the week goes on, although rain is likely on Friday. | positive |
× Hillary Clinton Announces Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia as Vice-Presidential Running Mate
Hillary Clinton has chosen Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine to be her running mate, turning to a steady and seasoned hand in government to fill out the Democratic ticket, she announced Friday.
“I’m thrilled to announce my running mate, @TimKaine, a man who’s devoted his life to fighting for others. -H,” she tweeted.
She is set to introduce her new partner at a campaign rally Saturday in Miami, a recognition of Florida’s pivotal importance in the fall. It’s also a chance for Kaine, a fluent Spanish speaker, to introduce Clinton to Latino voters, a critical slice of the electorate in her quest to defeat Donald Trump.
Clinton is hoping to seize the spotlight from Republicans after their convention in Cleveland. The site of Kaine’s first expected joint appearance with Clinton is Florida International University, where the student body is more than half Hispanic.
The announcement came on the heels of an attack in Munich, Germany, that dominated the afternoon news cycle. The Clinton campaign deliberated over how to avoid a split-screen scenario that could be perceived as insensitive, but in the end, proceeded with its plan to make the unveil on Friday.
It may be an anti-establishment year, but Clinton’s running mate is an insider: A senator and former governor from the critical battleground of Virginia and a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
Kaine, 58, has long been seen as a seasoned and safe choice for Clinton, who could help shore up support among white working-class voters.
Her selection ended a long search that was conducted almost entirely in secret, a stark contrast to Trump’s vice presidential search. It reflected a strategic choice by Clinton: To go with a running mate who amplifies her argument that experience in government — not sizzle — is the best path to keeping the White House in Democratic hands.
Kaine’s midwestern roots also run strong: Born in Minnesota, Kaine is the son of a welder who was raised in Kansas and graduated from the University of Missouri. He went to Harvard law school, but before graduating served a year as a missionary in Honduras.
It was an experience that cemented his Catholic faith and strengthened his fluency in Spanish. Kaine was the first member to give an entire speech on the Senate floor in Spanish. It was during a debate in support of the bipartisan “Gang of 8” immigration reform package.
The audition
At a joint campaign appearance last week in Virginia, which served as a final audition, Clinton stood side-by-side Kaine and beamed as he spoke of her virtues in Spanish.
“Estamos listos para Hillary,” he declared.
The Clinton campaign selected Kaine over a roster of at least three other senators and two Cabinet secretaries to President Barack Obama. Advisers to Clinton see Kaine as a stable force on the bottom of the ticket, foregoing the allure of a pick that could provide more star power in favor of one they are hoping will be void of drama.
“We all know we need a bridge builder, not a trash talker,” Kaine said last week as he introduced Clinton at the Virginia rally.
His resume is far more fulsome than when he was vetted as a potential running mate for Obama in 2008.
With nearly three years of experience in the Senate under his belt, Kaine has beefed up his foreign policy credentials. He serves on both the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees, emerging as a leading proponent of pushing the administration to consult with Congress before engaging in military action.
Kaine is well known inside the Democratic Party, serving as its national chairman during the first years of the Obama administration. He jumped onto the Clinton campaign early — the second time around — announcing his support in 2014, a year before her announcement.
Centrist roots
His bipartisan roots, the Clinton campaign believes, could resonate with voters seeking an alternative to Trump.
At Harvard, he met Anne Holton, the daughter of former Virginia Gov. Linwood Holton, a Republican. Kaine and Holton married and settled in Richmond where both practiced law and sewed the seeds of Kaine’s political future.
After 10 years working as a civil rights lawyer and lecturer at the University of Richmond’s law school, Kaine mounted a successful campaign for city council from Richmond’s Northside. His political rise continued to the mayor’s office and a successful bid for lieutenant governor before being elected governor in 2005.
His governorship was a study in practical decision-making and political maneuvering — qualities valued by the Clinton organization. He pushed through measures like an indoor smoking ban — popular with voters, but controversial in a state with a once robust tobacco industry. Virginia was the first state in the south to enact a ban of this nature.
Kaine also earned high marks for his stewardship of the state after the Virginia Tech Massacre, at the time the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. In the wake of the Tech massacre, Kaine became a leading voice on reforming gun control laws, an issue Clinton has highlighted throughout her campaign.
Early during his time as governor, Kaine took one his biggest political risks: offering a hearty endorsement to then-Sen. Barack Obama in his 2008 presidential bid.
At the time Obama was the underdog to Hillary Clinton and Kaine was the first sitting governor to endorse his campaign. Obama returned the favor by naming Kaine one of his national co-chairs and after securing the Democratic nomination, he put Kaine on a short list as a potential running mate.
Kaine was vetted by the Obama team, but in the end Obama chose Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware — someone with a deeper foreign policy resume, an issue at the time that was considered a weak spot for Obama.
While Kaine is perceived as far more of political moderate, particularly with today’s liberal strain coursing through the party, he is often a reliable liberal vote in the Senate.
Despite his Catholic faith, he is a staunch supporter of abortion rights. He is a defender of the Affordable Care Act and announced his support for same sex marriage in 2013. On guns he has an “F” rating from the National Rifle Association (NRA). By comparison, until the Sandy Hook Massacre of 2012, his counterpart Warner had an “A” rating from the NRA.
While geography of a running mate seldom matters in recent presidential elections, the Clinton campaign believes he can certainly help secure Virginia’s 13 electoral votes. The state twice voted for Obama after a generation of solidly voting for Republicans in presidential elections. | positive |
Most people visiting steemit.com view this as a platform where you can get paid to post, but this is just the tip of the preverbal iceberg.
The real money isn’t in blogging, content generation, or voting. The real money is found in bootstrapping a digital currency. A currency owned and operated in a decentralized way by ordinary people.
The key to bootstrapping a currency is having a community which is able and willing to use it. A blogging platform that makes it possible for everyone to earn their way in is just a trojan horse. It is a means of hiding the vegetables (honest money) in the food (fun content).
Phase 1 - Bootstrap a Stable Currency
The first phase of Steemit’s manancial plan involves establishing a price stable currency. This is a currency denominated in values that everyone knows and trusts. This is the Steem Dollar.
A Steem Dollar is different from other digital currencies because you are not trusting anyone else to hold real dollars in the bank. It is backed 20 to 1 by Steem, a growing community of bloggers. It also pays people interest far beyond what the banks pay!
To bootstrap this currency we need people to have a way to earn it. This is what posting rewards are for. We also need a highly liquid market in which people could trade their Steem Dollar for Steem. Market liquidity is the key to building trader confidence and minimize conversion costs.
Phase 2 - Bootstrap a Marketplace
As you can see from this chart there is a (relatively) massive amount of liquidity with just 0.002% spread. At any moment someone could trade in and out of STEEM / STEEM Dollars in quantities of over $1000. This is in a market that is just two days old.
The next phase of Steemit’s profoundly wicked plan is to bootstrap a marketplace. A market place is where people can buy and sell goods and services. You may have heard of systems like OpenBazaar, Craigslist, Angie's List, or eBay.
A successful marketplace needs two things:
People Money
Steemit is attracting hundreds of new users every day and filling their pockets with fresh steem dollars. This is an environment that is ripe for a rich market place where people can exchange real goods and services along with their ideas.
If ever there were a website / marketplace that would bring cryptocurrency to the masses, steemit.com is it.
Phase 3 - Sidechains, Smart Contracts and SmartCoins, Oh My!
Once you have a highly functional currency, a robust community and market place, and lots of content to bring in new users, you are ready to start building robust smart contracts and side chains around these assets.
Think of a side-chain as a Facebook app. It will allow developers to build new games. It will allow people to issue their own currencies. All kinds of robust financial instruments can be built on the back of the Steem Dollar and the Steem network.
Unlike other smart contract platforms, Steem will have no fees! This means app developers can build things that just aren’t viable elsewhere.
Long Road
The road is long, but the Steem community will eventually follow the yellow-brick-blockchain to the Emerald City and in the process overcome the wicked witch of the west . The Steemit community just needs to over come its fears, stop being cowardly, and find it in their heart to love one another.
Maybe the plan isn’t so evil after all. | positive |
Updated 6.15pm
THE DÁIL IS to sit late tonight to pass emergency legislation in order to reclassify certain drugs, including ecstasy and magic mushrooms, as illegal following a court ruling this morning which has temporarily made them legal.
A ruling in the Court of Appeal on the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977 this morning effectively means that the possession of certain drugs, which had been illegal, is currently legal.
The court ruling found that the 1977 Act was being added to via ministerial order without recourse to the Oireachtas, in violation of article 15 of the Constitution.
Ministerial orders had been used nine times since the Act’s inception to outlaw the possession of drugs like ecstasy, ketamine, magic mushrooms, benzos and other drugs.
Speaking to reporters today, Health Minister Leo Varadkar explained: “It is still the case that the sale, supply, export or import of such substances remains illegal, even now today.”
The ruling could impact on a small number of current court cases that are being prosecuted under the 1977 Act. It will not impact on existing convictions under the Act.
The ruling means that TDs must pass emergency legislation tonight in order to make these drugs illegal again. The bill will then go to the Seanad tomorrow.
The new bill includes a provision that says it can only take effect on the day after it’s signed into law, meaning that the law will not come into force until 12am on Thursday.
It’s understood that party whips were informed of the potential need for emergency legislation last week but were told it was “highly confidential” until the court ruling was handed down.
The need for emergency legislation means that Sinn Fein’s private members’ bill, which calls for emigrants to be allowed vote in presidential elections, has been postponed to tomorrow evening between 6.30pm and 9.30pm.
It’s now understood that the Misuse of Drugs Amendment Bill will be taken in the Dáil by Health Minister between 8pm and 11pm tonight.

SCP-1592
Deceased victim of SCP-1592's effects in temporary storage during transport to Site ██.
Item #: SCP-1592
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All possible broadcasts of SCP-1592 are to be intercepted and blocked from public viewing. Intercepted broadcasts are to be stored in Site ██'s video archive. Any civilians physically altered by SCP-1592's effects are to be brought into containment immediately and any witnesses to these alterations dosed with Class-A amnestics.
Viewing of SCP-1592 must be authorized by at least three (3) personnel with Level 3 access clearance. SCP-1592 may only be shown to D-Class personnel.
Description: SCP-1592 is a television program entitled 'Paradise Television' which has demonstrated the capability to cause mental and physical abnormalities. It has the general format of a televangelist program, but discusses values and concepts unusual for such a program. The host of SCP-1592 is a middle-aged Caucasian male who refers to himself as 'Pastor Harris'. SCP-1592 consists of an as-of-yet unknown number of fifteen (15) minute broadcasts, all of which show 'Pastor Harris' sitting on an armchair, looking directly at the camera while delivering a sermon.
When an individual watches a broadcast of SCP-1592, they will become interested in the values and concepts it discusses, regardless of previous religious or moral orientations. Further viewing of SCP-1592 will result in the individual gradually becoming obsessed with SCP-1592, and neglecting other social obligations in order to continue viewing it. Affected individuals will often record broadcasts of SCP-1592 and watch them multiple times.
After the affected individual has viewed a number of broadcasts ranging from twenty (20) to thirty (30), physical alteration will begin. This takes place over a period of one (1) to two (2) weeks. If the victim is stopped from watching SCP-1592 during this period, these alterations will cease but any alterations already caused by SCP-1592 will remain. Initial physical alterations include:
The growth of additional sensory organs (eyes, noses, etc.) on various parts of the body.
Pigment of the skin radically changing in color.
Alteration of the vocal cords, preventing normal human speech.
Elongation or shortening of the limbs.
Fusion of body parts. (fingers, toes, etc.)
Growth of non-human extremities. (mandibles, pincers, etc.)
Later physical alterations often involve morphing of the body into non-humanoid forms, usually resulting in immobility. It is unknown if the victim is aware at this point, as none have responded to attempts at communication.
Interview Log 1592-1 Hide Interviewer: Dr. █████
Interviewed: D-20122 Forenote: D-20122 had watched twenty-two (22) videos of SCP-1592 broadcasts at the time of the interview. Severe elongation of the left arm and left leg were present. Alterations to the structure of D-20122's mouth resulted in some difficulty speaking. <Begin Interview> Dr. █████: Hello, D-20122. D-20122: Hello, doctor. What t…(unintelligible)…what time is it? Dr. █████: It's five minutes past six. Why? D-20122: Nothing. It's just th…that, uh, that's u…usually when we have the tests. You know, where I watch the videos and write them (unintelligible). Write down what they say. Dr. █████: I'm sure that can wait a while longer, D-20122. The tapes aren't going anywhere. D-20122: No, no, (unintelligible)! I need to see them now so I know what he has to say! Dr. █████: If you just calm down, we can finish this interview and proceed with the tests. How do you feel about your physical alterations? D-20122: Well, I was…I was worried at first, but it's like what Pastor Harris says on the video, it's so we share His pain, isn't it? It still hurts though, when my bones change. Dr. █████: And why are you so interested in what Pastor Harris is saying? D-20122: (unintelligible) I don't really know what it is about it. It's just right, you know? Like, it all feels right. Dr. █████: So you are happy with SCP-1592's effects upon you? D-20122: Very. <End Interview> Closing Statement: D-20122 began final physical alterations one (1) week after this interview.
Sermon Excerpts:
The following are transcribed records of SCP-1592 broadcasts by D-Class personnel who were assigned to view them.
What is wrong with the generation of today? They don't understand sacrifice, haven't felt His gaze on their skin. I hope that my viewers understand sacrifice, I pray to Him for that every night. For you, for your souls. If you have a pet, it will play its part. You will share His hunger in the coming days, and the pet will sacrifice for you. If you don't have one to sacrifice and suffer for you, worry not, my children. Worry not, for He will provide!
I have a message from a faithful child here, from Jenny in Colorado. She watches His word every night, and the carapace is growing. Jenny writes, 'Pastor Harris, sometimes I scream from the pain He gives me. I cannot feel my legs.' Jenny, if I may address you for a moment, what you are feeling is the pain that He too has suffered for us in the black. You are one of the faithful, Jenny, and so you are worthy to take his image. This pain is simply sacrifice, as He has sacrificed for you. Stay strong, Jenny! | positive |

Table of Contents Sketching a business logo Daycare Logo Design Symbols are an effective way to get across the idea of your business Color schemes are important Getting a branding questionnaire from a logo designer Sketching a business logo The initial stages of designing a business logo are the most important. You will need a simple shape that captures your company’s identity. It is important to keep away from generic symbols or clip art as these are easily recognizable from other sources. You will also need to consider how easily your logo can be reproduced at different sizes. When sketching a business logo, it is important to be as creative as possible, as this is what your consumers will remember about your company. Deep Logo Design Date Logo Design When you’re done sketching, you’ll need to convert it into a digital file. This is best done in JPEG or another high resolution format. A vector EPS format allows for easy resizing, so you can also use it for printing. It is also easier for you to scale and crop. Once you’ve finished your sketches, you can share them with your design team for feedback. The process of sketching a logo will take a little time, but it’s worth it in the end. A complete logo sketch will embody your brand’s essence. It may depict a cozy cafe or a thrilling journey abroad. Although it may depict a scene, the object or object must be memorable. You can choose a highly detailed version or a rough outline. Regardless of which method you choose, make sure it’s easy to remember and will help you avoid making any mistakes along the way. There is no one way to create a logo that works for your business. Once you have a few ideas, start out with sketches. These sketches aren’t final products, but they’re a great way to assess ideas and choose the best one for your business. As your background for sketching, you can use graph paper or plain white. Don’t discard the pages with rejected designs – they may offer valuable insights later on. This will allow you to quickly narrow down your ideas. And don’t forget, sketching a business logo will be more effective than you think! Daycare Logo Design Consider using the vector format when creating a logo for your business. This format can be printed on a variety of materials. It can also be scaled to any size, allowing you to create a business logo in any size, including large formats like billboards and posters. A vector file is also easier to edit and can be scalable to any size. Because it follows the W3C Vector graphic standard, your logo will be able to be scaled to fit any size screen. Vector format is the most popular format for designing business logos. Vector files can be opened using Adobe Acrobat Reader or a web browser. A finder window can be used to open PDF files. This is a great way for logo previews. A vector file can be scaled and converted into other image formats. You don’t need to resize your logo after it’s been created. Another benefit of using the vector format when designing a business logo is that it’s easier to edit than raster images. Vectors can be scaled to any size without losing quality because they are exact representations of the original format. It is therefore possible to use it in a variety of applications without losing any quality. You can also use Illustrator to trace and tweak existing images. The vector format is also more flexible when it comes to printing, so you can use the logo in any size you need, even for large-scale applications. If you plan to use the logo online, you will likely need a raster version. To use a raster logo, you’ll need to save the file in an optimized size. Daycare Logo Design. Symbols are an effective way to get across the idea of your business Consider who your target audience is when choosing a symbol to represent your business. Different groups and cultures will react differently to certain symbols, so make sure you have a clear idea of what your target audience is looking for. Symbols can help you communicate your brand’s voice, goals, and values. Here are a few tips to choose the right symbol for your business: Symbols have many uses. They can serve as navigational tools, distinguishing characteristics, or even a status symbol. Coca-Cola’s iconic logo is an example. It’s not just a pretty design, but it also communicates the message of the company. If the logo contains an image of a football or a shoe, people will recognize it. This will increase brand loyalty. While some people may feel uncomfortable using symbols, they can also help your brand’s message stand out.A simple flame icon, such as, can evoke the user’s experience. Similarly, abstract logos capture specific ideas about the brand while leaving room for interpretation. Symbols are effective when combined with text is a crucial part of the overall design. Popular symbols include flowers and plants. They can be used to symbolize hope, compassion, and life. You can create a deeper connection with your brand by using plants that have specific meanings. For example, logos based on olive branches are very popular. A simple olive branch may convey a sense of friendliness, goodness, and harmony. You can also use the symbol to create a wreath-like border or include other imagery. Color schemes are important There are many colors to choose from when designing a business logo, but it’s important to consider the environment it will be used in when choosing a color scheme. Digital design software uses a different color scheme to offline printing. You will end up with an inaccurate representation if you don’t have a basic understanding of color theory. There are four types of colors in a logo: analogous, complementary and diametric. Certain industries are more successful with non-traditional colors. A clothing company might choose a soft peach background with a bright burnt orange. This type of color scheme maintains a balance between two colors, which prevents either of them from competing with each other. The same applies for a business that deals with finance. For example, a red-colored t-shirt would convey feelings of warmth, while a blue shirt could connote aggression. One major concern when choosing colors for a business logo is legibility. Some colors are almost impossible to read when they are combined. It is easier to read a white-based element with black outline. Transparent logos are also easy to read even for those with visual impairments. Orange and blue are archetypes of complementary colors, and they should be considered when choosing colors for your business logo. They will complement each other and help your brand get the recognition that it deserves. Color reproduction is another important consideration. You should also consider how your audience will react. Are they more likely to buy your products than someone who uses a competitor’s brand? Next, match the colors to their preferences. For instance, a coffee company may use a vibrant orange while another may choose a neutral color. Digital media can also affect color reproduction. You don’t want a logo with a yellow-blue tint, since you don’t want your customers to associate it with the coffee they drank. Getting a branding questionnaire from a logo designer It can be difficult to get a business logo. A questionnaire from your business logo designer may help you make a decision. You can give your designer a basic idea of your brand and personality by filling out a questionnaire. This will help you to get a better idea about what you want. Your business logo designer can also help you with suggestions. These questions should relate directly to your brand’s goals and deadlines. Although some questions are more productive than others, a list of your preferences can help your designer understand what you want. A branding questionnaire will include questions about your target audience, brand vocabulary, and more. Your designer will also be able to understand what your audience is looking for in a logo. Once you have a good idea of what your audience is looking for, you can start designing your logo. One of the benefits of a branding questionnaire is that it can save you time. The questionnaire can be divided into sections, which make it easy for your clients to fill out and provide valuable information. If you are looking for a business name for example, it is helpful to break down the questions into categories. This will make it easier for your clients to understand what you are asking. The questionnaire should also be designed well for its intended purpose, such as incorporating clear, large typeface. The input fields should be placed in a way that is easy to read. Daycare Logo Design. A brand questionnaire will help you create a stronger brand identity and can also help your employees understand the vision for your business. They won’t have the same mistakes if they are given the vision of your brand. In addition, it will help them avoid doing the same old thing over again, which can be a waste of time. The questions can also help your business to know the audience it’s targeting.

It has taken nine months for David Moyes to assert his authority on Manchester United ’s under-performing squad, but the Scot finally displayed an iron fist with a public slap down of Robin van Persie at The Hawthorns .
On the ground where Sir Alex Ferguson waved farewell to management last May, Moyes took a huge stride towards settling into his predecessor’s shoes with an unmistakeable display of authority to his sulking Dutchman.
Van Persie, skating on thin ice having been booked and then warned by referee Jon Moss for reckless challenges, was clearly unhappy to be replaced by Danny Welbeck on the hour mark, shaking his head as he trudged off the pitch, but Moyes had no other option even if he later said he had planned before the match not to give Van Persie the full 90 minutes.
The fact that the 30-year-old had offered little during his time on the pitch to persuade Moyes to risk Van Persie’s temperament producing a red card was another indictment of the former Arsenal forward’s performance.
It was a big moment, one layered with significance, and how it plays out from here could define Moyes’s reign as United manager.
If Moyes is bold enough in the summer, he could do worse than consider making Van Persie the first sacrificial lamb of his turbulent reign as manager by selling the forward and delivering a clear statement of intent that the past has gone and the future will not centre around those who do not buy into the new reality.
Forget Van Persie’s disinterested performance here for a moment and consider the bigger picture and how the landscape appears for Moyes and United.
Statistically, Van Persie’s strike-rate for United since his £24m arrival from Arsenal in August 2012 – 44 goals in 71 appearances – is hugely impressive and the strongest possible evidence for those who would suggest that selling him would be madness.
He also injected charisma and belief into a team and club whose morale had been crushed by Manchester City’s 2011-12 title success.
But as Ferguson proved repeatedly by dispensing with the likes of Paul Ince, Mark Hughes, David Beckham, Roy Keane and Ruud van Nistelrooy, there comes a time when a change has to be made and, just 18 months into his United career, that moment may have arrived for Van Persie.
The similarities between Van Persie and Van Nistelrooy are striking and do not stop merely with their shared Dutch roots.
Van Persie’s arm-waving dissatisfaction with his team-mates was straight out of the Van Nistelrooy text book for a start.
Van Nistelrooy was even more prolific than Van Persie, scoring 150 goals in 219 appearances, but United became over-reliant on the striker and predictable in their approach.
With Van Persie, United suffer the same problem and his lack of pace and mobility make Moyes’s team pedestrian and lacking the variety required to break down even the most limited opponents.
His complaint in Athens last week following United’s defeat against Olympiakos, that team-mates were occupying his space and pretty much suffocating him, were telling in that they highlighted the frustrations that were evident on the pitch here in the Midlands.
But United’s performance against West Brom once Van Persie was sat on the substitutes’ bench was like a new awakening – with Welbeck offering the movement, pace and work-rate that his out-of-sorts team-mate had failed to produce.
With Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Adnan Januzaj lacking the blistering pace to make a difference from a deeper position, United really need a flying machine up-front to stretch opponents and open up greater options.
In this respect, Van Persie is more of a hindrance than a help and the glory days of last season appear like another lifetime.
But just like Van Nistelrooy, maybe Van Persie will ultimately prove to be a star than shines brightly, but briefly, at Old Trafford.
He delivered the title last season, significantly when Rooney’s mind was elsewhere and focused on a power struggle with Ferguson, but now that the England forward is back in form and favour, Van Persie’s star has waned.
So maybe it is time for Moyes to consider a new approach.
When Ferguson sold Van Nistelrooy in the summer of 2006, he had two young wannabes by the names of Rooney and Ronaldo straining at the leash, desperate to take centre stage.
Welbeck and Januzaj are not in the same class as those two, but if Moyes can find the right striker this summer, losing Van Persie may not be quite so unthinkable.
For now, however, Moyes must decide whether Van Persie should start against Liverpool next Sunday or if the new dawn is already beginning to eclipse him. | positive |

It’s the middle of the working day, and you’re at your desk. Someone is paying you to be there. But instead of the important business you’ve been tasked with, you’re reading the Guardian.
Working longer hours increases stroke risk, major study finds Read more
Screw the boss, you might say: I need a break. Unfortunately, though, it seems that even slacking at work may not be doing you any good. A comprehensive new study has shown that those who work very long hours face a 33% increased risk of stroke. Nor is this the first evidence of the health risks associated with overwork. No wonder you need to switch off for a bit.
Here’s the striking thing, though: the problem diagnosed here is not working harder: it is working longer. Much of the risk is associated with physical inactivity, and the study does not differentiate between the worker completing a spreadsheet and the one liking Facebook pictures of babies. The danger doesn’t lie in what you’re sitting there doing. It lies in the fact that you’re sitting there at all.
It is better to look busy and have a stroke, we feel, than to get things done then switch off.
Oh dear, you fret, we’re all going to keel over. Then you turn to another story about the UK’s huge productivity problem and wonder how on earth we’re going to fix that. And then you think about maybe doing a spot of work before lunch.
It surely doesn’t take a presentation from Heather in HR to point out the absurdity of this. It is intuitively obvious that the longer you are expected to drudge, the less productive your drudgery is likely to be. And this isn’t just a hunch: there is a strong correlation between countries working longer hours and being less productive.
And yet we remain instinctive presenteeists. Anecdotes in the NYT investigation into Amazon’s working culture this week may have been extreme – no time for slacking off there – but certain elements sounded familiar for many of us, particularly the late night emailing. It is better to look busy and have a stroke, we feel, than to get things done then switch off.
How to fix this? Well, for an enlightened employer, it wouldn’t be so hard. Have an automated hometime reminder from the CEO pop up on every screen when 6 o’clock rolls around; ban email after 8pm except in genuine emergencies. When someone finishes a project early, reward them with the afternoon off.
At the moment, this utopian scenario seems unlikely. We remain in the grip of a political narrative that heralds the strivers and scorns the shirkers; David Cameron was reported to have made an opt-out from the working hours directive one of his goals in renegotiating our membership of the EU. And if our leaders aren’t willing to declare that the 1am email should go unanswered, it is hard to see anyone else doing so. They might start by reforming their own culture – for there are few workplaces more addicted to this macho nonsense than Westminster. But I don’t suppose any of them will be reading this. They’re all too bloody busy. | positive |

During her weekly press conference Thursday, Nancy Pelosi jabbed Republican lawmakers for taking a two-week recess for the Easter-Passover holidays.
“Today, here we are, 77 days,” the House minority Leader stated. “The Republican House departs for a two-week break now for the Easter-Passover holidays.”
WATCH:
“I’ll begin by asking the same questions that Republicans will face from their constituents,” the California Democrat continued. “What have the Republicans done with their control of the House, Senate and the White House to produce jobs?”
“Where are the jobs? Show us the jobs. Democrats believe we should focus on every day on job creation and growing paychecks for everyone, everywhere in our country.”
It should be noted that a staffer in the Leader’s press office told The Daily Caller she “isn’t super sure of [Pelosi’s] schedule” when asked if she will be returning to California or staying in Washington during the two week recess.

CM (are the summary data for the extrasynaptic responses before (black) and 30 min after (red) treatments (Treat). activation was followed by downregulation of cAMP response element-binding protein, and LTP impairment was prevented by inhibitors of p38 MAPK or calpain. Thus, soluble A oligomers at low nanomolar amounts in Advertisement mind boost activation of extrasynaptic NR2B-containing receptors present, impairing synaptic plasticity thereby. Introduction Proof from many laboratories shows that the build up of amyloid- proteins (A) takes on a central part in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (Advertisement). A peptides are usually produced from -amyloid precursor proteins (APP) via proteolytic cleavages from the – and -secretases (Selkoe, 1998; Berg and Marks, 2008). The soluble monomers can assemble into soluble oligomers sequentially, protofibrils, and fibrils that accumulate in the brains of Advertisement subjects, developing insoluble amyloid plaques. Among these A set up forms, the degrees of soluble A (which include monomers and soluble oligomers) correlate most highly with the severe nature of dementia in Advertisement individuals (Lue et al., 1999; McLean et al., 1999). Experimentally, soluble A oligomers (however, not monomers) have already been discovered to stop hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), a synaptic correlate of memory space and learning (Lambert et al., 1998; P300/CBP-IN-3 Rabbit polyclonal to ACD Walsh et al., 2002; Wang et al., 2002; Klyubin et al., 2005; Townsend et al., 2006; Shankar et al., 2007, 2008). Significantly, A immunotherapy can drive back the neuropathology and cognitive deficits seen in APP transgenic mice (Janus et al., 2000; Morgan et al., 2000) and in addition avoid the LTP inhibition induced with a oligomers (Klyubin et al., 2005). Artificial A assemblies can inhibit long-term melancholy (LTD) under particular circumstances (Lu et al., 2001; Massey et al., 2004). Synaptic and extrasynaptic receptors may possess specific tasks in signaling pathways also, gene rules, and cell loss of life (Hardingham et al., 2002). For instance, excitement of synaptic NMDAR is in charge of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation and activation (Ivanov et al., 2006), cAMP response component binding proteins (CREB) activation and neuroprotective results (Hardingham et al., 2002), whereas activation of extrasynaptic NMDAR plays a part in ERK inactivation and dephosphorylation, shuts from the CREB pathway, and induces neuronal loss of life (Hardingham et al., 2002). Improved extrasynaptic NMDA activity offers been shown to become deleterious in mouse types of Huntington’s disease (Okamoto et al., 2009; Milnerwood et al., 2010). We lately reported that soluble A oligomers in the pathophysiological amounts present in Advertisement mind facilitate hippocampal LTD by raising the activation of NR2B-containing extrasynaptic NMDARs (Li et al., 2009). We acquired evidence how the enhanced NMDAR reactions can be described, at least partly, by an oligomer-mediated reduction in neuronal glutamate reuptake, inducing P300/CBP-IN-3 glutamate spillover to extrasynaptic sites thereby. To explore the system where soluble A oligomers inhibit LTP further, we’ve mixed electrophysiological right now, biochemical, and immunohistological solutions to show how the oligomers inhibit LTP by activating extrasynaptic NR2B-containing NMDA receptors. Strategies and Components Hippocampal cut arrangements. Mice (C57BL/6 129, had been P300/CBP-IN-3 wiped out by isoflurane anesthesia at age group 34 wk for patch clamping or at 68 wk for field recordings. Brains had been eliminated and submerged in ice-cold quickly, oxygenated, sucrose-replaced, artificial CSF (ACSF) slicing solution including (in mm): 206 sucrose, 2 KCl, 2 MgSO4, 1.25 NaH2PO4, 1 CaCl2, 1 MgCl2, 26 NaHCO3, 10 d-glucose, pH 7.4, 315 mOsm). Transverse pieces (350 m heavy) had been cut having a vibroslicer from the center part of each hippocampus. After dissection, pieces had been incubated in ACSF including the next (in mm): 124 NaCl, 2 KCl, 2 MgSO4, 1.25 NaH2PO4, 2.5 CaCl2, 26 NaHCO3, 10 d-glucose, pH 7.4, 310 mOsm, where they were permitted to recover for in least 90 min before saving. An individual slice was after that used in the documenting chamber and submerged beneath consistently perfused ACSF saturated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2. Pieces had been incubated with this chamber for 20 min before excitement at room temp (RT) (24C). Electrophysiology. Regular field EPSPs (fEPSPs) had been documented in the CA1 area of hippocampus. A unipolar stimulating electrode (Globe Precision Tools) was put into the Schaffer collaterals to provide test and fitness stimuli. A borosilicate cup recording electrode filled up with ACSF was situated in stratum radiatum of CA1, 200300 m through the stimulating electrode. fEPSPs in CA1 had been induced by check stimuli at 0.05 Hz with an P300/CBP-IN-3 intensity that elicited a fEPSP amplitude of 4050% of maximum. Check responses had been documented for 30C60 min before you begin the experiment to make sure stability from the response.

An off-duty MTA worker and mother of six was shot and killed on her own Brooklyn street as she headed home from a shift late Monday, officials say. Checkey Beckford reports.
An off-duty MTA worker and mother of six was shot and killed on her own Brooklyn street as she headed home from a shift late Monday, officials say.
Jacqueline Dicks, 41, was shot in the head on Elton Street just after 11:30 p.m. and pronounced dead a short time later, authorities said.
Investigators said Dicks was dead by the time they got to the scene and was wearing her MTA uniform when she was shot.
Dicks, a conductor with New York City Transit since June, had just finished her shift on the N line and her boyfriend had picked her up from the Astoria-Ditmars Boulevard station in Queens to drive her to the East New York neighborhood where she lived, law enforcement sources say.
Cops Believe MTA Conductor Targeted in Deadly Shooting
Police are searching for the killers who gunned down an off-duty MTA conductor just steps from her front door in Brooklyn this week. Marc Santia reports. (Published Tuesday, May 2, 2017)
Her boyfriend dropped her off near her home and was going to the store when he heard a single gunshot, according to the sources. He told police he was blinded by headlights and couldn't see clearly but believes there may have been three people involved.
Witnesses also said they saw three men walk up to Dicks; they say one fired a single shot and all three ran away, leaving her on Elton Street.
Police are still looking for the three men. Sources said a bullet was found in the grass, and tests will be run on that as investigators search for surveillance video.
Tyrone Dicks, Jacqueline's brother, said he has no idea why anybody would want to hurt her.
"It's beyond my comprehension right now. I don’t see why anybody would do that to her," he said. "Especially three men on a woman."
Her grieving family held a vigil Tuesday evening.
Mom of 6 Gunned Down After Work: NYPD
Police say an off duty MTA working was shot and killed in East New York while she was still wearing her uniform. Tracie Strahan reports. (Published Tuesday, May 2, 2017)
"Give her her life back," Tyrone said. "Let her finish her life."
Jacqueline Dicks was a mother of six who co-workers say was jovial on the job. Her boyfriend is a "good guy" who helped with the family, said Tyrone.
Her niece, Michelle Dicks, called her an "awesome" person.
"I don't even know why this had to happen to her," said Michelle. "I wish whoever did this -- whoever saw, would come and just say something. My family is taking it real hard."
Community members and coworkers rallied around her family while investigators continued their search for clues. Police did not elaborate on a possible motive.
"Last night we lost one of our own to gun violence," MTA Interim Executive Director Ronnie Hakim said in a statement Tuesday. "Jacqueline Dicks was a 41-year-old mother of six and valued member of New York City Transit. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and will assist NYPD in any way possible." | positive |
The British passion for surveying and cartography has led to the Indian countryside being dotted with zero stones. The indefatigable administrators of the Raj placed them in the general post offices of large cities and towns. Recently, one such zero stone was unearthed from Pune, half-buried under a pavement, functioning as a platform for a fruit vendor to display his wares. It is the boast of many a swish Mumbaiwala that the city revolves around them, but in reality, the people of Mumbai are divided about where its exact centre really lies. The zero milestone, that marks the centre of the city, has no fixed address in our address-obsessed city, with three different locations laying claim to being Mumbai’s Zero Mile. Shweta Karnik reports
The golden milestone
The stone that marks zero miles is also called the Golden Milestone. It was those master-road-builders, the Romans, who first defined the centre of Imperial Rome with the 'Millarium Aureum’ or the ‘Golden Milestone' in 20 BC. This 2.5m tall and 1.2m diameter marble cylinder marked the point from which the major Imperial highways radiated — the Via Aurelia, Via Appia and Via Flaminia. This stone and even its exact location has been lost, as road construction in Rome in 1835 has erased the foundations. The principle of a single datum for a city was rediscovered with the great expansion of road building in the 20th century. That for England, became a statue at Trafalgar Square, and for America, outside the White House.
The Asiatic Society Library
One of Mumbai’s oldest and most elegant landmarks, the sweeping staircase and Doric columns of the Asiatic Society Library provide a scenic possibility for city centre. Its position as one of the oldest public structures in the city lends weight to its claims of being zero mile. In addition, says historian Sharada Dwivedi, “There is a stone beside the steps which has '0' carved on it. It indicates the datum level [a level surface, such as mean sea level, which is used as a reference from which elevations are reckoned].”
St Thomas Cathedral Church at Horniman Circle
This location would place zero mile in the spiritual centre of the British settlement in Bombay. Built in 1718, the church’s claims to marking the point where city limits begin is rooted in the fact that it was the first place of worship built by the British in the city. “Since it is one of the oldest structures in the city, it could be the starting point,” says Abha Lambah, conservation architect.
The Anglican church itself has an interestingly chequered history. Work on constructing a garrison-church began in 1674. During 1681-90, its walls were raised to 15 feet before work started to peter off. The bare walls of the half-built church were left in neglect for a generation, until the foundation stone of a new edifice was laid by deputy governor Stephen Strutt on November 18, 1715. On Christmas Day, 1718 the church was formally opened by order of Governor Charles Boone.
General Post Office
All across the country, the GPO is the standard location from where distances are measured. There’s no X that marks the spot, but in Mumbai too, it’s the GPO (near Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus) which is widely considered to be the zero mile. It was established in 1794 by the then postmaster general of Mumbai Presidency, Charles Elphinstone. Before the present building, Mumbai had only an agency post office. In those days, this GPO was housed in a coterie of small buildings near Apollo Pier. k_shweta@dnaindia.net | positive |

If you’re attending an early morning real estate panel all the way Downtown, a good way to wake up might not just be a cup of coffee, but to listen to Michael Horodniceanu.
The career urban planner lights up members of the crowd with updates and breakdowns of the train system in New York City—bringing out one’s inner train nerd.
As the president of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Capital Construction, Mr. Horodniceanu (pronounced: horad-nitchy-anu) has spent the last seven years responsible for projects that will eventually make the trains run on time. He oversaw construction of the 7 train station that will open at West 34th Street on Sept. 13 (see story on page 38), and is currently working on the Second Avenue Subway line as well as the long-awaited East Side Access project intended to bring the Long Island Rail Road into a new terminal that will be incorporated into Grand Central.
So it’s safe to say that Mr. Horodniceanu, 70, is constantly busy. He’s balancing future projects, like bringing the Metro North to Penn Station some day, while managing current ones such as the cavernous tunnels being bored under the East River, while facing a capital budget that’s still roughly $3 billion short, according to the MTA.
When Mr. Horodniceanu sat down with Commercial Observer two weeks ago, sporting his trademark bow tie (although he insists he’s more comfortable in a hard hat), a few weeks after speaking on two panels—one at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan on the topic of the Far West Side and another hosted by the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce about East Side rezoning—he discussed how a steady investment from the private sector could help fund transit improvements and literally speed the plows under the streets. After all, tunnels the MTA is building will eventually bring workers to developers’ buildings, he said, and the relationship between transit and real estate has to stay symbiotic.
And striking a good balance is something he’s also done with the residents and merchants affected by the drilling and scaffolding on Second Avenue, with the first leg of the project still a year away from completion.
Mr. Horodniceanu, who earned his doctorate in Transportation, Planning and Engineering from what’s now NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, has spent 40-plus years working in urban planning. He founded a consulting firm, The Urbitran Group, sold it once to become traffic commissioner during former Mayor Ed Koch’s last four years, and then sold it again when the MTA tapped him to head capital construction. He’s shifting how and where trains drop people off in the city and is conscious of how millennials are becoming more urbanized.
CO: What’s going to be the impact of the East Side Access project?
Mr. Horodniceanu: The bottom line is that this will be a game changer for many people that are actually traveling.
The expectation is that on a daily basis, one will be able to save 40 minutes a day. If you multiply it by five, that will give you an excess of three hours a week more time. Figure out what you want to do with that [extra time].
The other part that will be very interesting is that now you’re going to be able to, as an example, come from Westchester, into Grand Central, board the Long Island Rail Road, go to Jamaica and take the Air Train to JFK. It’s something that, if you ever tried to go to JFK from Manhattan in the middle of the day, you would not be a happy person.
In addition, once you free up platform space at Penn Station, you can bring Metro North trains that now only come into Grand Central into Penn Station.
There are people that want to go there, and now today, the same way you have to go to Penn Station and track your way back to Grand Central, people go to Grand Central and have to go to the West Side.
Do you have a number for how many people East Side Access is going to impact, too?
The projection right now is 160,000 passengers. That represents about half of all the passengers carried by, or projected to be carried by, Long Island Rail Road.
How far along is the MTA in that process to connect Metro North to Penn Station?
The only way that that would happen is we first have to finish the East Side Access.
[Gov. Andrew Cuomo] committed money for four stations in the Bronx. When the Metro North trains are coming through the Bronx, they will be able to stop and pick up passengers in the Bronx, and then travel all the way to Penn Station.
Between East Side Access and the Second Avenue Subway, what are these things going to do for the East Side?
I’m going to dissect it separately because these are independent in many ways. East Side Access with the rezoning that is taking place now around Grand Central, obviously bringing the Long Island Rail Road there it is going to give you the boost, because now not only is that centrally located but you also can connect it to Long Island and whatever happens now in Midtown is going to be supported by additional mass transit.
The point I’m making is that that’s very important and that will support the additional real estate that is coming online there.
Second Avenue is a totally different thing. Second Avenue [subway] is a project that has been around for a long, long time. In fact, not long ago, there was an article that in effect—I don’t know if it accused me but pointed out—that I’m 86 yearas late. I don’t think I was even planned 86 years ago.
But Second Avenue will also be an incredible push for the East Side of Manhattan real estate. There will be, I believe, a move to increase the density along Second Avenue. We are right now close to about 80 percent done. We have another 17 months to go. I think that it’s going to be tough to complete it because we need to do a lot of testing and commissioning in the process.
Remember our subway system is just about 100 years old. We actually have to take brand-new technology and make it work with lots of old stuff. If you were at our board meeting about a week ago, you would have seen that in some areas our signal system when trains go by, we still do it by hand. It’s not even electronically done.
Has the community pushed back on the scaffolding and construction around the Second Avenue Subway project?
When we started it [in 2008], the community was not happy with us. I needed to do something [about] that, because this was a first anyway for us—we never built in such a densely populated area—I made a decision [to make] myself the face of the project. That means the message to the residents was that the buck stops with me. I believe that the program that we put in place was extremely effective to accomplish what we wanted. We wanted was something very important. It’s called trust. Government in general is not really looked upon as the most trustworthy player.
We had a gentleman who still owns a restaurant at 92nd Street. It’s called Delizia. He was my biggest nemesis. Every Sunday, he got the politicians around and they basically screamed and yelled. So I went to see him when I decided that I have to do much more. I was able to work with him and make changes to the way we’re doing the work.
And then eventually he became my ambassador. That means from the biggest detractor he now would go and say, “Trust him. He is telling you the truth and will do the right thing.” And I did that.
Could either the Hudson Yards model of leveraging development rights or tying transportation upgrades to upzoning like in Midtown East be a model for filling future capital budget gaps?
At one point our transit system gets choked and you need to expand it. So it makes a lot of sense that the real estate people ought to be much more supportive of New York City Transit and MTA in general. We’re bringing their people back and forth.
People talk about lots of stuff, but basically, I believe that the real estate community ought to in effect come up with funding. When I say come up with funding, someone is always good at giving us a one-shot deal. It’s not good. We need a dedicated source of money so you can rely on it.
You have to maintain a level source of dollars that comes in to maintain and expand our system.
That needs to be done through a kind of taxation. I was at a conference when someone was talking about there being a rent tax that the city collects south of 96th Street. Someone was proposing that should be eliminated. I’m saying don’t eliminate it; just use that to fund transit. Not just fund transit operations, that’s different. Fund capital improvements; fund the maintenance.
Are you an MTA commuter?
No. I drive a truck. In the back of my truck I have boots and hard hats and all kinds of things. I should have had a telephone booth so I can go in and be like Superman and change. But I’m not, so I close the door and normally I will go in the morning to a site and I will be dressed in jeans and a T-shirt and a hard hat. I come here and I change and sometimes I change again.
You always have such good bow ties. Where do you get those?
I get them at Paul Stuart. And I actually buy when I travel overseas.
What project do you feel proudest of?
I would say [as a consultant] that one of them was doing the modeling for Manhattan for the West Way. But, I would say to you that I must be biased to what I do today. The projects that I’m doing today are projects that are changing the way New York is going to be for the next generation.
These are thing you do not get to do normally. You have to be lucky enough to be in the right place in the right time for someone to offer you a job like this. Because I did not apply for the job I have today.
I can be relevant in a way that I would have never been relevant otherwise. I remember talking to my kids, with my son that I just talked to, he’s a civil engineer, too, and I said, “I started a firm from scratch, I had all of these things, I have a legacy [with my firm].” He said, “Forget about it.

Closing the Guantanamo Bay detention facility “is a national security imperative,” an Obama administration official told the Senate this week. However, the White House faces tremendous opposition with the newly GOP-controlled Congress.
Brian McKeon, a Pentagon official responsible for advising the secretary of defense on policy and strategy said that continuing to operate the infamous military prison is detrimental to the security of the United States during a Senate Armed Service Committee hearing on Thursday.
Evoking the gruesome murder of a Jordanian military pilot carried out by the group calling itself the Islamic State earlier this week, McKeon warned Congress that US President Barack Obama and senior administration officials are serious about shutting down Guantanamo Bay, saying its existence only encourages further extremist activity.
“The president and his national security team all believe that the continued operation of the detention facility at Guantanamo weakens our national security by draining resources, damaging our relationships with key allies, and is used by violent extremists to incite local populations” McKeon, a senior defense official, said in prepared remarks.
“It is no coincidence that the recent ISIS videos showing the barbaric burning of a Jordanian pilot and the savage execution of a Japanese hostage each showed the victim clothed in an orange jumpsuit, believed by many to be the symbol of the Guantanamo detention facility.” Protesters clad in similar wear and opposed to the prison’s facility interrupted the hearing several times and were repeatedly removed by Capital police.
But while the White House has advocated for closing Gitmo since before the start of the Obama presidency – and has come its closest yet by releasing nearly 30 detainees during the last calendar year – the administration is far from being on the verge of accomplishing as much, if Thursday’s hearing is any indication of what will come next.
Four Republican lawmakers in the Senate Armed Service Committee – Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, John McCain of Arizona, Richard Burr of North Carolina and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina – have tossed their weight behind a bill that would prevent the administration from shuttering Gitmo, much to the chagrin of the White House.
“Because this legislation, if enacted, would effectively block progress toward the goal of closing the Guantanamo Bay detention center, the administration opposes it,” McKeon told the committee on Thursday.
With an end to Gitmo by any means leaving the administration with 122 detainees to deal with, though, committee leaders raised concerns during the hearing that doing as much might send suspected terrorists back on the battlefield where they can again launch strikes against America.
“There has never been a plan” from the White House for dealing with potentially dozens of detainees if the center is shut, Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) told witnesses at Thursday’s hearing.
Another committee member, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), said the White House needs to send solid legislation to Congress explaining how it would sufficiently deal with the threat of potential recidivism if the prison is closed, adding, “I finally want to get ahead of the war and terror and not only play catch-up.”
Yet while both McCain and Graham’s remarks appeared to suggest the Republicans are open to someday shutting Gitmo if the administration and Congress can reach an agreement, other attendees at Thursday’s hearing appear to have anything but the same inclination.
“In my opinion the only problem with Guantanamo Bay is there are too many empty beds there right now,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) said during the hearing. “As far as I’m concerned every one of them can rot in hell and if they can’t do that they can rot in Guantanamo Bay.”
Former Gitmo detainees released by the White House in 2014 have been sent to neutral, third-party nations, but the Obama administration has also considered transferring prisoners to facilities in mainland America.
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) suggested that the administration consider relocating Gitmo detainees to high-security supermax facilities managed by the US Bureau of Prisons and not the military. There have been 556 terrorism convictions reached in federal court since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Kaine said, yet the Guantanamo Bay military commission has only conducted eight trials in that same span.
No person convicted of terrorism has ever escaped a supermax prison, Kaine said, and the same should be expected of any Gitmo detainee transferred to such a facility.
“The benefits to national security of closing Guantanamo in many ways outweigh the risk posed by releasing prisoners,” responded Nicholas Rasmussen, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center and co-witness at Thursday’s hearing.
Out of the 242 detainees at Gitmo at the start of the Obama presidency, McKeon said, 122 still remain. | positive |

Custom Molded Rubber Products Made in the USA. Share Us On: Home Custom Rubber Molding Rubber Compounds About Us Facilities Sales Representatives Contact Us Search for: Rubber Products Manufacturers in the USA Associated Rubber – How We Got Started We have been making industrial rubber products since World War II. When the big rubber manufacturers were tasked with developing US based synthetic rubber manufacturing, our founders stepped up to plate to start a small rubber molding facility to help fill the demand for custom made rubber products to be used in the war effort. Curtiss Wright was one of our first clients and needed parts for the P-40 War Hawk and a number of other aircraft engines they were producing at that time. The P-40 is no longer in production so we can tell that story now. Client confidentiality agreements prevent us from sharing other stories without permission. Know that we will respect your need for privacy as well. Word grew about Associated Rubbers’ ability to solve engine vibration issues with rubber dampening solutions and soon we were asked to make custom molded rubber parts in increasing volumes for many of the DOD contractors, auto manufacturers in Detroit and industrial equipment manufacturers that were having engine vibration problems. Today the clients we serve come from many different industries and this list below just highlights a few applications we produce rubber parts for. Electrical Manufacturers Valves and Plumbing Manufacturers Material Handling Equipment Building Mechanical Controls Fabrication Equipment Pumps and Processing Equipment Air, Liquid & Gas Flow Sealants Medical Equipment Manufacturers Transfer Molding and Rubber Compression Molding Equipment The silicone molding work we do uses millable high consistency rubber (HCR), not Liquid Injection Molding. Most of the work we do uses our transfer molding equipment and compression molding equipment with these types of rubber compounds that we can mill in house. We do still fire up our rubber injection molding machines when we get some big custom rubber part jobs but most of that large volume automotive rubbers, standardized gaskets and O-Rings work is being done overseas these days. Our run size sweet spot varies by product design. You will most often find us making custom rubber parts from 250 – 3500 pieces per run size. We also do short run prototypes and are know best for finding the most economical solution for our client’s production needs. Our facility in Quakertown Pennsylvania now operates from a 46,000 square foot production facility. Quality Molded Rubber Parts Many of our customers have seen the benefits of moving or keeping the fabrication of their custom molded rubber products here in the United States rather than overseas. The quality of Associated Rubber’s molded rubber products and inspection team is superior to most rubber manufacturers and we stand behind everything we manufacturer for you. We operate a full physical testing lab for the products we make for our clients and are very thorough in our efforts to maintain our high quality standards. There is no communication barrier if a problem arises, and our raw rubber materials are of high quality. Best of all, your custom molded rubber parts will be MADE IN AMERICA. Rubber Molder & Mechanical Engineer John Oldt has been the force behind Associated Rubber since 2000. After graduating with his Mechanical Engineering degree from Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, John joined the family business as a mechanical engineer/journeyman in 1995. During those early years he rotated through every position on the shop floor from mixology, chemist, compression molder, die maker and the QC department. He continued to develop his knowledge about “all things rubber” through the correspondence work he did with The American Chemical Society’s Rubber Division. Today he remains active with the Mid Atlantic Rubber Group. On the weekends you will probably find John zipping around a motorsports track such as the 2.5 mile track at Road Atlanta, the famous 3.4 mile track at Watkins Glen International or locally you can find John at the NJMP’s Thunderbolt Raceway the in his Honda S2000 Race Car. This is him riding around turn 3 at Road Atlanta on two wheels. Ready to get your rubber part made in the USA? Contact Us Who We Are Rubber Molding Company focused on fast turn arounds and great pricing. Our clients demand a high quality product and we deliver every time.

Chez Charnizay: Tempus Fugit Chez Charnizay Life in Sud Touraine Tuesday, 31 July 2012 Tempus Fugit Two years ago today we were sat outside enjoying the morning sun with a groggy cat and no furniture barring two camping chairs and a bed kindly left by the sellers in an empty house. The evening before, we'd arrived at here in Charnizay to start our adventures living in Sud Touraine. 31 July 2010: weeds to tame and one of our 2 camping chairs As we were travelling with our cat Shadow we'd taken the tunnel and given him a sedative we'd obtained from the vet. Despite giving him only a very light dose, the poor lamb was still zonked the next day. While he wobbled around his new domain slightly dazed at what master and mistress had "done to him" we surveyed the place over a cup of coffee. We had 12 days until our furniture arrived to paint, and generally make presentable our house now that the works we'd had done were finished. Over the next few days and weeks we wore a rut in the road to the area of large stores in Joué- and Chambray-les-Tours. We bought paint--loads of white paint!! We invested in a plethora of cleaning materials of all types and colours. When we arrived the house was filmed in a lovely layer of builders dust and dirt. A garden table and chairs were acquired so we had something to sit at. By the end of the furniture-less days we'd whitewashed the entire house and weren't keen on seeing a roller or bucket of paint for a long, long time -- if ever! We bought things we'd never owned before, but were needed living in the country: a saw horse, a chain saw, hack and hand saws, a ride-on mower, a much heavier strimmer, a wheelbarrow and another ladder to name but a few! Meanwhile Shadow had discovered the ensuite bathroom and the joyful fact that he could just squeeze himself behind a panel and vanish totally from view only sneaking out occasionally to snatch some food. It caused us some serious worries as to where he'd got to before we caught him eeling out of his hidey hole!! Once we'd been here a couple of days we let him go outside to explore and he promptly went onto the roof! Little did he know though, that his days as an 'only cat' were numbered. Katinka took up residence in October 2010. Shadow on the roof, August 2010 One morning early, soon after we arrived Antoinette saw a martre [pine marten] outside the kitchen door. It was as astonished as she was! In those first months we saw it again. Sadly we don't see it any more -- we assume it is now too noisy here with us as permanent inhabitants. The fouine [beech marten], more used to sharing space with humans, was around for quite some time. However, last summer we think it was dispatched by our neighbours. It was living in their attic and probably creating an unholy mess. The red squirrels, fox and other animals are always a joy. Earlier this morning looking out over the terrace we saw regular visitors: three chevreuil [roe deer]. They ambled along the field boundary. We never tire of seeing whatever wildlife there is on offer, be it large or small; with the exception of the pine processionary catepillars!! Those we do not like! We've had a lot done to the house: moved the kitchen, reconfigured a room to create a downstairs shower room, installed an en-suite upstairs, had floors laid and a fosse septique system installed in November 2010. A drive was put in before we moved in and the terrace --last of the big works for now-- was finished a couple of weeks ago. October 2010: two cats on the roof We've learned how many stare of wood to order to heat the house in winter and how to stack woodpiles. We've watched the seasons change and discovered what plants & flowers we have. We've ripped out bushes, cut back leggy trees, learnt to slalom between the trees on the ride-on mower. In November 2010 we floundered round in the heavy clay soil to plant some young fruit trees while doing good impersonations of 'Margo' in 'The Good Life'; though happily not in yellow sou'westers! So here we are two years later. In some ways it seems only months ago that we moved here, in other ways we feel we've been here quite a while--both in the nicest possible way! Above all we've met many friendly and helpful people:- both French and expat, and we have made some good friends. Looking back on two years life is good and we feel we are beginning to properly settle in here.

Hello Niall and Antoinette: We have been most intrigued to read this post in which you describe some of the early days spent in your French home. What you do not say, perhaps happily they did not occur too often, are those moments of wondering what you had done and actually let yourselves in for. Your house looks to be so very pretty and we are sure that, gallons of white paint later, you have made the inside equally charming. It is so good that you feel really settled in France - a wonderful country - and we do so hope that Shadow is still with you and does not mind too much sharing. 31 July 2012 at 17:52 The Broad said... I just loved reading about all you've accomplished and seeing how charming your house is -- so very French, isn't it? 31 July 2012 at 18:17 Pollygarter said... Congratulations on your second anniversary in your lovely home! Many haooy returns of the day. 31 July 2012 at 20:48 Niall & Antoinette said... @Jane & Lance - of course we had moments--happily few and far between but they happen anywhere you go and we've lived in a fair few places :-) It seemed churlish to mention them on a beautiful summer's day. Shadow is still very much part of the collective; he's just far more camera shy than our tabby show off :-). 31 July 2012 at 21:04 Niall & Antoinette said... @Broad - yes it is a classic longere--couldn't be more French or more typical of the region. Hope you're enjoying the Lot. 31 July 2012 at 21:05 Niall & Antoinette said... @Pauline - thanks :-) 31 July 2012 at 21:06 Diane said... Great post and it is good to learn more about you both. We are lucky enough to have met you, but I hope next time we will have more chance to to talk. Last time there was so much to catch up with and so many people to do just that with. You sound as if you have made a really nice home for yourselves and I envy you seeing the wild life. Keep well, Diane 31 July 2012 at 21:54 GaynorB said... Congratulations! You've achieved a great deal and made a beautiful home for yourselves. We've enjoyed sharing it with you, both in person and via your blog. Keep enjoying the wonder of it all. 31 July 2012 at 23:15 the fly in the web said... Odd how time seems to expand and contract...two years can seem like a lifetime...as if you've been nowhere else....or like a snapshot. It looks lovely and I'm so glad you and the all important felines are happy there. 1 August 2012 at 00:09 wcs said... Happy Franciversary! It's a nice feeling, eh? 1 August 2012 at 08:27 Unknown said... Congratulations, we have had our house in Charnizay and still like it after 9 years! Not full time though. I read your blog regularly and it keeps me in touch with Charnizay when I am in the UK so thanks - and have many more happy years - the Macdonalds 1 August 2012 at 08:31 Niall & Antoinette said... @Diane - the wildlife is a real bonus :-). 1 August 2012 at 10:26 Niall & Antoinette said... @Gaynor - thanks :-) Sometimes it feels as if we haven't done much; other times we're quite surprised at how much! 1 August 2012 at 10:27 Niall & Antoinette said... @Fly - it is a moggie's paradise. 1 August 2012 at 10:28 Niall & Antoinette said... @Walt - eh bien oui! 1 August 2012 at 10:29 Niall & Antoinette said... @MacDonalds - thanks for commenting & glad to hear you enjoy the blog. 1 August 2012 at 10:32 ladybird said... Congratulations on your two years in France and the excellent job you have done on the house. Hope to see it in 'real life' one day! And the cats too, of course ;) Martine 1 August 2012 at 12:40 Carolyn said... Congratulations. You've done a lot with your house and land. And you say the patio is your last big project? Wish I could say the same! 1 August 2012 at 14:13 Niall & Antoinette said... @Martine - standing invitation next time you're in the Loire :-) 1 August 2012 at 15:11 Niall & Antoinette said... @Carolyn - patio isn't the last big project---just for now :-) Need to save up a bit before we take on the renovation of our barn which, we suspect, will be fairly expensive. 1 August 2012 at 15:14 Perpetua said... Doesn't time fly when you're enjoying yourself?:-) Congratulations on the first two years and here's to many more of them in your lovely house and beautiful surroundings. PS Painting BEFORE the furniture arrived sounds like a really good plan to me..... 1 August 2012 at 19:26 Niall & Antoinette said... @Perpetua - LOL we know our weaknesses. If we hadn't done it then we would probably still be saying 'we should really paint the walls' to each other now! 1 August 2012 at 19:58 Vera said... I can't believe that you have been here for two years! But then I can't believe that we have been here for over four! Just like you, sometimes it feels like we have been here forever, and other times that we have just arrived. But now we have our smallholding running the local wildlife has taken a step back, apart from the marauding fox last spring and the deer who got stuck in our field, so we are still reminded that there are wild creatures about. 4 August 2012 at 09:32 Vagabonde said... Congratulation on your two years and all the hard work. My father used to love to deal in real estate and bought several older French homes, then with his buddies they would fix them – it was a lot of work, so I know how much you had to do, and then all of this in a land that is a bit foreign, so it was even harder I believe. But now you have this lovely home and can enjoy it. “Bonne continuation” as they say back home- Google translates it as good luck, but it is not that, it is more like “continue to have a good time.” 5 August 2012 at 22:26 Niall & Antoinette said... @Vera - it is surprizing how time 'works' isn't it :-) Hope the scything is going from strength to strength. 6 August 2012 at 09:54 Niall & Antoinette said... @Vagabonde - merci! Vous etes tres gentille. We knew the area quite well which is one of the reasons we searched for a house in this region of France. Google translations are dodgy more often than not! 6 August 2012 at 09:59 LindyLouMac said... Congratulations on your achievement and anniversary, we know from personal experience what it has taken you to create your lovely home. 7 August 2012 at 13:41 Niall & Antoinette said... @LindyLou - thanks and there are projects yet to come. 7 August 2012 at 21:17 Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) Niall A Duthie Niall & Antoinette Blog Archive ► 2015 (5) ► March (1) ► February (1) ► January (3) ► 2014 (34) ► December (4) ► October (1) ► September (3) ► August (4) ► July (4) ► June (3) ► May (3) ► April (2) ► March (3) ► February (3) ► January (4) ► 2013 (68) ► December (5) ► November (5) ► October (4) ► September (5) ► August (6) ► July (7) ► June (5) ► May (7) ► April (5) ► March (6) ► February (6) ► January (7) ▼ 2012 (84) ► December (6) ► November (6) ► October (6) ► September (5) ► August (6) ▼ July (6) Tempus Fugit Lieu dit Péchoire Terrace finale Sun, sun, sun!

Numerous innovations make the Uprise Portable Power Center the most advanced wind turbine in the world. Innovations that dramatically improve energy capture in low, steady, and gusty wind conditions. Through intelligent programming, the machine is constantly monitoring weather patterns and adjusting itself to best capture energy from the wind. The machine rotates 360º to face the wind and adjust blade pitch and speed for optimum capture. When the wind is too strong, the computer automatically parks the rotor and lays the mast down to avoid damage.
The Uprise Portable Power Center is the most advanced wind turbine in the world.
The machine can deliver its power into the grid or directly to the consumer (off-grid, stand-alone mode). Excess power is stored and power delivery is stabilized. When wind power exceeds demand, energy is stored. When wind energy is low, the Uprise machine draws on the stored power. | positive |

Indonesia will become the first country in the world to export wood products to the EU that meet new environmental standards to curb illegal logging
Indonesia will in November become the first country in the world to export wood products to the European Union meeting new environmental standards in a move aimed at bolstering transparency and curbing illicit logging.
Officials from both parties unveiled measures on Thursday to ensure timber exports to the trade bloc, valued at roughly $1bn a year, are sustainable and harvested within the law.
Indonesia is one of the world’s largest timber exporters but the sector is plagued by criminality and corruption, and vast swaths of tropical rainforests have been felled for sale on the black market.
From mid-November special licences issued by Jakarta will certify the legality of timber products destined for the EU such as pulp, plywood and furniture.
“Indonesia has achieved great progress in bringing its forest sector under control and improving transparency,” Putera Parthama, a senior official from Indonesia’s forestry ministry, said in a statement.
“We have met the high certification standards of the EU.”
This assurance system, developed over years of negotiations, will be independently audited to ensure the timber is legally sourced and meets environmental standards.
Once the agreement takes effect from 15 November, timber exports from Indonesia that do not carry this certification will be prohibited from trade within the EU.
Consumers in Europe can soon purchase wood products knowing they come from audited factories and forests, EU ambassador to Indonesia, Vincent Guérend, said in a statement.
Indonesia supplies the EU with one-third of its tropical wood products, with Germany and the Netherlands the largest importers in the bloc.
Jakarta hopes the pact will help it double timber exports to the EU to the tune of $2bn a year.
It is the first country to meet these standards but the EU is negotiating similar agreements with 14 other countries, which together provide the continent with 80% of its timber imports. | positive |

It’s £10/month in the UK, which is a strong cost:value ratio for the time and various means by which I use it, such as: At home, blasting out tracks on my Sonos S5 At work, where social features & discovery apps help me find new stuff On my mobile, where offline playlists provide the backdrop to my travel And since I no longer play physical CDs, nor use iTunes or other media player (barring web apps such as SoundCloud, Hype Machine, Mixcloud etc.) Spotify has become the main hub and jumping-off point for whatever type of music I’m after. Spotify leaves it to its users to build, subscribe to and share playlists, their primary organisational schema, however they see fit. But with millions of tracks and carte blanche to curate a personal library of preferences comes a unique challenge: how should one filter, organise and archive their preferences with access to the worlds biggest music collection? There is no self-populating iTunes-esque ‘smart playlist’ feature, no editorialised ‘recommended playlists’ feature, and until recently there was no way to search playlists without third-party involvement. Users have to come up with their own organisational approach, and I use my patented Star System™. Here’s how it works: Play whatever music you want Star the tracks you particularly love These self-populate a ‘Starred Tracks’ playlist Set this playlist to ‘Available Offline’ and they’ll download automatically Carry on jamming, removing stars from any tracks if they get boring After a period of time, move all starred tracks into playlist of their own Release this playlist to the public to critical acclaim! Repeat steps 1-7 with a blank slate So without further ado, here are my Star Mix Playlists for your listening pleasure, along with some tasting notes. Star Mix ☆ Q3-10 (dub, chill & cosmic) Star Mix ☆ Q1-11 (brass, beats & jazz) Star Mix ☆ Q2-11 (electro, downbeat & guitar) Star Mix ☆ Q3-11 (pop, latin & electro) Star Mix ☆ Q4-11 (funk, disco & house) Star Mix ☆ Q1-12 (moody bleeps & breaks) Star Mix ☆ Q2-12 (international sonic mish-mash) And finally, my current star mix. Subscribe to this one if you only want my new stuff in your earholes. Happy listening!

This is my second Android device, my first being an HTC Hero, whom I loved like a little brother. But I love my Galaxy like she’s a sexy robot from the future, trained to be awesome. Given I’ll be spending the next couple of years with her, it’s important that I maximise all that awesomeness. For me, that boils down to the following areas: She needs to look attractive She needs to let me do my thing She needs to last ’til at least midnight She needs to be constantly surprising She needs to feel like she’s all mine It’s quite possible to achieve these things from your Android device: it just requires a bit of time to work out your priorities, and sometimes the advice of a few well respected sources. Ultimately, it’s experience that leads to a happy relationship. By the way, yes, I’m still talking about mobile phones. With all of this in mind, I think I’ve found my ultimate Android setup, the perfect relationship, if you will. So without further ado, I present to you my Ultimate Android Homescreen, a perfectly-tuned combination of sexiness, usefulness, battery life and entertainment. At just three screens, she’s the most efficient I could conceive of – the product of several hours hard thinking! The ‘Immediacy’ Screen – stuff you need right now The ‘Entertainment’ Screen – stuff to feed your head The ‘Productivity’ Screen – stuff to get shit done A couple of things glue this all together: Tasker, and LauncherPro. I also advise JuiceDefender, but like all of the apps listed below, it’s not an essential. After all, this is more a ‘what worked for me could work for you’ article (like this one). (click the graphic to view in fullscreen) Whether you follow this exact recipe, or you choose to develop your own ultimate Android homescreen, I hope you’ll be very happy together, and I’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

But that’s a redundant idea. Of course they’ve developed a clever app ecosystem: a perfect storm of mutual reward for all stakeholders. Everyone knows that. But the app I’m about to showcase has highlighted, at least to me, that there’s another killer feature of the App Store that I’d not yet considered – it’s cool. And you know what? Coolness attracts coolness. For what other reason would Everyday for iPhone exist in the world? I mean, just look at this fucking hip promo video: Nice, huh? A simple idea, executed well. And I believe it could only exist because Apple has cornered the market in providing a place for cool apps like this to flourish. You don’t see this sort of shit on an Android (Androidify is probably their coolest though) or on BlackBerry, do you? And what’s really cool is that Noah Kalina, the guy behind this famous video felt he could enter the market with no prior experience, purely on the perceived strength of his one cool idea. Where one or two interesting product features or a single USP would struggle to attract a buying audience in the real world, on the App Store it’s all that really counts. Apple have democratised the adoption of these cool little tweaks, and have created a playing field for all sorts of single-serving software and one-trick ponies. Basically I’m saying that because of the App Store, the world has more cool stuff – which is just one more reason to love hate Apple.

A wire story sent out by the Associated Press claimed that GE, shamed by criticism of the company’s tax break, would be donating $3.2 billion to the Treasury Department.
Thirty minutes after the story went out on the wires, the AP sent out a second statement retracting the story. It had all been a hoax A grassroots organization called U.S. Uncut and the Yes Lab, a group of pranksters best known for pretending to be members of the Chambers of Commerce, took credit for sending out a fake press release.
GE has been criticized heavily ever since the New York Times reported that GE paid no taxes in 2010 — a statement GE denies.
The fake press release said, “Over the coming weeks, GE will conduct a nationwide survey to determine how the company's $3.2 billion returned refund is to be allocated. The survey will be conducted both online and offline, and will permit the public to weigh in on which of the recently-enacted budget cuts they would like to see reversed.”
It also included falsified quotes from GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt that said GE would shut down their overseas tax havens and start to create one American job for each new job created abroad.
After the AP news story ran, GE shares slipped and the company had to issue a statement denying the news.
The Yes Men have operated for more than a decade using fake press releases, impersonating reporters and, once, publishing thousands of false “New York Times” that only reported good news. They group has also set up a Web site called the Yes Lab, which states it trains activists seeking to use similar “media-getting creative actions.” The Yes Men’s spokesman told CBS News that U.S. Uncut had been trained through the program. | positive |
He attacked like a ninja from the shadows, wielding a 9-inch Rambo knife. The small brown-skinned Ecuadorian wasn’t built like Sly Stallone, but he was as quick as he was silent. Appearing as though from nowhere, and taking Jeff Smith, a Dallas music publicist, completely by surprise as he prepared to go to his hotel room in Lima, Peru.
Smith, a former Dallas game developer who now works as a music publicist, had just landed and his clients — all legendary rockers — headed toward their rooms to unload their bags. They’d come to Peru, the third of their 10-stop 2012 South American tour, as part of a super group called the Rock 'N' Roll Allstars.
The super group included Guns N’ Roses veterans Matt Sorum, Duff McKagan and Gilby Clarke; Joe Elliott of Def Leppard; Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple; Steve Stevens of Billy Idol; Sebastian Bach of Skid Row; Ed Roland of Collective Soul; Mike Inez of Alice in Chains; Billy Duffy of the Cult; and the God of Thunder himself — Gene Simmons from KISS (without the black-and-white demon makeup).
Continue Reading
Simmons and the rest of his companions were treated like gods in South America. Fans arrived en masse, climbing the security fence just to be close to the rock ‘n’ roll legends as if they were the Beatles visiting the U.S. in the 1960s. All Smith and his friend Paul Salfen, the band’s social media handler, could do was stand back, take pictures and watch the chaos unfold as their security team, some of whom were former Navy Seals, rushed them toward white vans awaiting to take them to their hotel.
They’d been excited and hopeful flying from Los Angeles. Salfen, who’s the Laurel to Smith’s Hardy, says he could feel the buzz and the good vibes — until they started finding out shows were getting canceled in places like Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. He’d heard a rumor that tickets weren’t selling, which didn’t make much sense, he says, since the shows on the tour so far seemed well attended.
Fans stood outside holding guitars and albums for Simmons and the rest of the rock legends to sign. There were so many fans, some crying, that a police motorcade had to escort the Rock 'N' Roll Allstars like foreign dignitaries. But it didn’t deter fans in Paraguay from figuring out that the police motorcade stopped at every red light. Fans, Salfen says, were soon waiting at the stoplights. When the light turned red, and the motorcade stopped, fans got out of their cars and danced in front of the vans, singing a soccer chant for Simmons who encouraged them by waving his hands as if he were directing a choir.
"That’s a real culture thing that comes from their love of soccer," Smith says. "That became the hit of the tour, and Gene was soon leading the chant at the shows."
Despite fans chanting for Simmons, concerts were being canceled, leading concert promoters like the knife wielding Ecuadorian to seek out the U.S. promoter, whom neither Salfen nor Smith wish to name, who canceled the shows and, the knife-wielding assassin alleged, stole money that belonged to people whom no one in their right mind would want to piss off. “There are people over there not to be messed with,” Salfen says.
Only six inches before the Ecuadorian’s 9-inch Sly Stallone-style Rambo knife stabbed through Smith’s chest and into his heart, security swarmed Smith’s small knife-wielding assailant like a bunch of angry samurai, breaking his arm as they grappled him. “I heard it break,” says Smith, who did not book any of the shows but simply worked as a publicist for the rock legends.
The desperate concert promoter, though, wasn’t the first or the last to pick up a blade to make the U.S. promoter pay with his life. Another knife wielding concert promoter from Venezuela had also attacked. Security foiled his attempts, too. There was clearly something going on.
Smith says he ended up in a mini-conference room with the U.S. promoter and the Ecuadorian concert promoter while Simmons acted as a mediator. They learned that the U.S. promoter, Smith says, had “fucked all of us” by booking a bunch of shows only to cancel them and pocket $1.37 million.
But that wasn’t the worst news. The Ecuadorian concert promoter, who was crying and begging that they still play the show in Ecuador, pulled out his cellphone and showed them a picture of military guys pointing machine guns at his mother’s and wife’s heads. They were taking them to jail, Smith says, until the concert promoter paid back the stolen money, which he didn’t have. Simmons, he points out, tried to work something out with the Ecuadorian concert promoter but to no avail.
Security took Smith to his room and locked the door, telling him that he wasn’t safe for the rest of the day or night until they could sort everything out. So he decided to make the most of it and ordered expensive entrees like duck and lobster, then called his mother to tell her that he loved her.
Later the next evening, the all-star band blew fans completely out of the water, Smith says, with classic hits from the rock legends’ music portfolios. The set list included hits like “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns 'N Roses, “Man in the Box” by Alice in Chains and “Rock ‘n’ Roll All Night” by KISS, all songs that should not be heard in one concert sitting. It was an amazing show, he says, and the perfect way to end the night: with thousands of fans pleased.
At 4 a.m. the chaos resumed. Smith claims he began receiving text messages from the security team. Trouble was brewing. “I’m like, ‘Oh shit, they killed Gene Simmons,’” he says.
Simmons, though, was fine. (The KISS frontman couldn’t be reached for comment for this story.)
The U.S. promoter, on the other hand, had paid off one of the local guys, Smith says, to smuggle him out of the hotel, using blankets, and take him to the airport where he caught a flight back to Los Angeles.
“We confirmed that the rest of our shows had been canceled because he had stolen the money and took off,” Smith says. “All the partners got weird, so they just canceled the rest of the tour. We played three shows out of 10, then put our tails between our legs [and returned to the States].”
The band issued a press release after they received confirmation that the rest of the tour had been canceled:
“Rock ‘N’ Roll Allstars regret to inform our fans that the shows we had scheduled in Ecuador, Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama, Guatemala and Venezuela have been cancelled. An incredible effort was made to work with local promoters to bring our show to the fans but they made it impossible for us to do so. We are saddened that we will not be coming to Central America and will do everything possible to ensure that our fans receive refunds for all tickets purchased. We are in South America and just had amazing shows in Paraguay and Argentina where thousands of fans came to hear the hits of Guns N’ Roses, Kiss, Def Leppard and more. The show in Lima, Peru is still on sale and the band is still playing this show. Thank you for your support and we hope to see each and every one of you soon.”
Since 2012, Smith says they’ve tried to find the U.S. promoter, but it’s been like tracking a ghost because he’s been using 20 different aliases with different mailing addresses. No one can find him, he says, even though he has federal lawsuits filed against him.
“A lot of people really got screwed down in South America,” Smith says. “Gene Simmons tired to make it all right. He was our star.”
Smith later learned that the Ecuadorian concert promoter was released from jail. The U.S. promoter eventually pulled some similar tricks in Russia, but still hasn’t been captured. Rock 'N' Roll Allstars eventually formed under another moniker called Kings of Chaos. They’ve played shows in Mexico but have yet to return to South America. | positive |

Technically Competent Management Website Copywriting Skip to content Call Graeme today on 07429 128 849|write@dropcapcopy.com FacebookInstagramLinkedInTwitterEmail HOME ABOUT SERVICES WORK COPYWRITING FAQ BLOGS PODCASTS CONTACT ME JESSICA BALL ASSOCIATES Project Description Client: Jessica Ball Associates // Connexion Software Project: Web copywriting When: Spring 2021 Website: www.jessicaballassociates.co.uk Jessica Ball Associates is a Somerset-based company specialising in Technically Competent Management cover and training for permitted and exempt waste facilities. Run by Jessica Ball, her industry experience, knowledge, and management expertise helps these waste facilities achieve environmental compliance. As part of a brand new website launch, Jessica needed purpose-led web copywriting to go with it. Project Background As a successful Technically Competent Management (TCM) cover and training provider in waste management, the time was right to have an online presence to boost her business credentials. Agency, Connexion Software, was building and developing the new site. I came into the project to provide web copywriting for a new Jessica Ball Associates site, centred around Technically Competent Management. Technically Competent Management TCM is quite a niche sector and not an easy subject to get your head around, especially for the uninitiated (like me!). But in a nutshell, Jessica Ball Associates supplies TCM cover to permitted waste facilities for full environmental compliance. Other services include technical and regulatory advice and support, guidance on compliance issues, and site visits. On a Zoom call with Jessica, she answered my (many) questions and followed up with more detailed background info on herself and her business. Few people outside this sector would have even a basic knowledge of Technically Competent Management. Having this detailed info at my fingertips was a real bonus. The purpose of the website is to be more of a business and service overview rather than a detailed, multipage site. That allowed us to limit the content to just three pages: > Home page covering the ‘what we do’, ‘who we are’, and ‘areas we cover’ information > About page covering the background on the business and the owner > Contact page with contact form and associated contact details As a copywriter, my role is to understand the detail and convert technical information into copy that’s easy to read and understand. That appeals to everyone – including those waste facilities that already know what they need (Technically Competent Management) and what’s involved. Stripping away the unnecessary technical detail leaves a clean and simple site with just the essential information. Technically Competent Copywriting With DropCapCopy Are you a design agency with clients in a technical B2B or B2C sector? or a business owner with a technical offering? When you need copywriting to simplify the technical, contact me or email me at write@dropcapcopy.com today.

A Rice University study has found a link between emotional stress and diabetes, with roots in the brain's ability to control anxiety.
That control lies with the brain's executive functions, processes that handle attention, inhibition, working memory and cognitive flexibility and are also involved in reasoning, problem-solving and planning.
The study published in Psychoneuroendocrinology establishes a metabolic chain reaction that starts with low inhibition, aka attention control, which leaves a person vulnerable to tempting or distracting information, objects, thoughts or activities. Previous studies have shown that such vulnerability can lead to more frequent anxiety, and anxiety is known to activate a metabolic pathway responsible for the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, signaling proteins that include interleukin-6 (IL-6).
Along with cognitive tests that measured attention control, the Rice study measured levels of both blood glucose and IL-6 in more than 800 adults. IL-6 is a protein the body produces to stimulate immune response and healing. It is a biomarker of acute and chronic stress that also has been associated with a greater likelihood of diabetes and high blood glucose.
The research showed individuals with low inhibition were more likely to have diabetes than those with high inhibition due to the pathway from high anxiety to IL-6. The results were the same no matter how subjects performed on other cognitive tests, like those for memory and problem-solving.
Researchers have suspected a link between anxiety and poor health, including diabetes, for many years but none have detailed the biological pathway responsible, said lead author Kyle Murdock, a postdoctoral research fellow in psychology. He said the Rice study takes a deeper look at how inflammation bridges the two.
"The literature shows individuals with poor inhibition are more likely to experience stressful thoughts and have a harder time breaking their attention away from them," Murdock said. "That made me wonder if there's a stress-induced pathway that could link inhibition with inflammation and the diseases we're interested in, such as diabetes.
"Plenty of research shows that when individuals are stressed or anxious or depressed, inflammation goes up," he said. "The novel part of our study was establishing the pathway from inhibition to anxiety to inflammation to diabetes."
Murdock works in the Rice lab of Christopher Fagundes, assistant professor of psychology. The Fagundes lab investigates processes that happen along the border of psychology and physiology, and how those processes affect overall health and potential treatments.
The data came from a Midlife Development in the United States study of 1,255 middle-aged adults whose cognitive abilities were tested two years apart. More than 800 of those also underwent blood tests to check IL-6 and glucose levels. The Rice researchers found not only the positive link between inhibition and diabetes, but the absence of a link between other cognitive functions and the disease. They also determined that the pathway only went in one direction: Inflammation never appeared to affect inhibition. Murdock said a year as a clinical psychology intern at the Oregon Health and Science University, where he studied with co-author and psychologist Danny Duke, led the researchers to think there could also be a feedback loop at play in those with diabetes. "Individuals who are anxious are more likely to avoid treatment and use maladaptive strategies (like smoking or unhealthy diets) that enhance their blood glucose, which is problematic. It's a snowball effect: The further they go, the worse it gets," he said.
"We also know that extremely high blood glucose can impact cognition as well. We talked about how, if we're going to treat these individuals appropriately, it won't be by sitting them down in a room and saying, 'Hey, you need to eat better,' or 'You need to use your insulin on time.'"
The researchers listed several possible interventions, including mindfulness therapy, stimulant or anti-inflammatory medications and cognitive behavioral therapy. "Research shows that people who practice mindfulness do better on the inhibition tests over time," Murdock said, suggesting that shifting one's attention away from stressful thoughts may affect physiological responses.
"I'm a firm believer that mindfulness-based approaches to treatment are a great idea, for a lot of reasons," Fagundes said. "That doesn't mean medicines that promote inhibition, such as stimulants, shouldn't be considered, but a combination of the two could be really helpful." | positive |
THE problem - as Mayan apocalypse expert Robert Bast puts it - is that if you build it, they will come.
And that's why the man who wrote the book on the impending end of the world - due at 22:12:43 AEDST tonight - won't show you his doomsday bunker.
Asked to take us to the safe house, he and his wife and three children will be fleeing to today, he was adamant that its location had to remain secret.
''I've turned down every request for a visit,'' he said.
''One of the fundamentals of prepping is you don't let anyone know what you've got or why you've got it.''
The reason for the secrecy has less to do with paranoia and more to do avoiding awkward situations, he said.
Usually preppers only stock enough for them and their family.
''It would be horrible having people come up to the place begging,'' he said.
''It's an intolerable situation so you just don't let anyone know.''
Mr Bast said he's been stocking up for years on supplies like water, canned goods, equipment and medical supplies even though he can't say for sure what is going to happen.
A giant solar storm that could blow up transformers, knock out power grids and leave humanity in darkness and in financial ruin is the most likely scenario, Mr Bast said.
''It would be a real end of the world as we know it for Western society as we rely on electricity for everything, our banking systems, hospitals, pumping water to our homes, sewage away from our homes, filling cars with fuel, for communications,'' he said.
''Two days after the power blackout, you'll start to see anarchy.''
Mr Bast rates the chances of a solar storm happening at 10 per cent but says he's still scared enough to prepare for the worst.
But not everyone agrees on what might happen today.
South Australian survivalist Leo Boersma told News Ltd that today will mark a ''period of transition'' and the beginning of dramatic changes to the global financial system.
''Everything will come crashing down,'' Leo said.
''Extreme cold, extreme heat, tsunamis and tornadoes will be on the increase, but it won't all happen on the 21st.''
The small business owner, who sells health supplies, said he would be taking a backpack full of essentials like a torch, batteries and water filtration with him to the Blue Mountains where he will be spending time with his 32-year-old son and some other family members.
Despite the dramatic climate patterns that Leo expects will begin today, he is adamant they are not the result of global warming.
''Our solar system is going through a period of change which happens every 2500 years or something,'' he said.
''Imagine you're a cave man living in a cave and someone said they were imposing a carbon tax on it.''
Owner of survival supply company Survival Storehouse, Mark Barrett, told News Ltd that he sold out almost all his supplies over the last three months and has made ten times as much profit compared to December last year.
The Storehouse had delays in their stock orders due to Hurricane Sandy in the US, where the supplies were coming from.
''Our next shipment comes in today and nobody's going to buy it,'' he said.
The Mayan apocalypse: What it is (or probably isn't)
What it actually means: The Mayan Calander will end on the 21st of December 2012. No Mayan prophecy has ever actually predicted the end of the world, but this hasn't stopped people from forming their own conspiracies. Just time for a new calender, is all.
How it will happen: The top three suggestions are death by solar storm followed by starvation, the collapse of financial systems and disease, death by comet unseen, death by planetary alignment.
Should I be worried: Absolutely not. That said, given the increase in natural disasters over the years, it doesn't hurt to keep a small, sensible amount of supplies so that if your town floods you don't have to fight off panicked masses in the supermarket.

Beauty and the Beast by Illustration forby Walter Crane
Beauty and the Beast (French: La Belle et la Bête) is a fairy tale written by French novelist Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and published in 1740 in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins (The Young American and Marine Tales).[1] Her lengthy version was abridged, rewritten, and published first by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1756 in Magasin des enfants[2] (Children's Collection) and by Andrew Lang in the Blue Fairy Book of his Fairy Book series in 1889, to produce the version(s) most commonly retold.[1] It was influenced by some earlier stories, such as "Cupid and Psyche", The Golden Ass written by Lucius Apuleius Madaurensis in the 2nd century AD, and "The Pig King", an Italian fairytale published by Giovanni Francesco Straparola in The Facetious Nights of Straparola.[3]
Variants of the tale are known across Europe.[4] In France, for example, Zémire and Azor is an operatic version of the story, written by Marmontel and composed by Grétry in 1771, which had enormous success well into the 19th century;[5] it is based on the second version of the tale. Amour pour amour (Love for love), by Nivelle de la Chaussée, is a 1742 play based on de Villeneuve's version. According to researchers at universities in Durham and Lisbon, the story originated around 4,000 years ago.[6]
Plot [ edit ]
Villeneuve's Version [ edit ]
A widower merchant lives in a mansion with his twelve children (six sons and six daughters). All his daughters are very beautiful, but the youngest, Beauty, is the most lovely, as well as kind, well-read, and pure of heart; while the two elder sisters, in contrast, are cruel, selfish, vain, and spoiled. The merchant eventually loses all of his wealth in a tempest at sea, which sinks most of his merchant fleet. He and his children are consequently forced to live in a small cottage in a forest and work for a living. While Beauty makes a firm resolution to adjust to rural life with a cheerful disposition, her sisters do not and mistake her firmness for insensibility.
Some years later, the merchant hears that one of the trade ships he had sent has arrived back in port, having escaped the destruction of its companions. Before leaving, he asks his children if they wish for him to bring any gifts back for them. His oldest daughters ask for clothing, jewels, and the finest dresses possible as they think his wealth has returned. Beauty asks for nothing but her father to be safe, but when he insists on buying her a present, she is satisfied with the promise of a rose as none grow in their part of the country. The merchant, to his dismay, finds that his ship's cargo has been seized to pay his debts, leaving him penniless and unable to buy his children's presents.
During his return, the merchant becomes lost during a storm. Seeking shelter, he comes upon a palace. Seeing that no one is home, the merchant sneaks in and finds tables inside laden with food and drink, which seem to have been left for him by the palace's invisible owner. The merchant accepts this gift and spends the night there. The next morning, the merchant has come to view the palace as his own possession and is about to leave to fetch his children when he sees a rose garden and recalls that Beauty had desired a rose. he merchant quickly plucked the loveliest rose he can find, and was about to puck more to create a bouquet, only to end up being confronted by a hideous "Beast" who tries to kill him for stealing of his most precious possession (after accepting his hospitality). The merchant begs to be set free, revealing that he had only picked the rose as a gift for his youngest daughter. The Beast agrees to let him give the rose to Beauty, but only if the merchant brings one of his daughters to take his place without deception; he makes it clear she must agree to take his place while under no illusions about her predicament .

The merchant is upset but accepts this condition. The Beast sends him on his way, with wealth, jewels and fine clothes for his sons and daughters, and stresses that his daughters must not be lied to. The merchant, upon arriving home, hands Beauty the rose she requested and informs her it had a terrible price, before relaying what had happened during his absence. Her brothers say they will go to the castle and fight the Beast, while his older daughters refuse to leave and place blame on Beauty, urging her to right her own wrong. The merchant dissuades them, forbidding his children from ever going near the Beast. Beauty decides to go to the Beast's castle and the following morning she and her father set out atop a magical horse which the Beast has provided them with. The Beast receives her with great ceremony and her arrival is greeted with fireworks entwining their initials.He gives her lavish clothing and food and carries on lengthy conversations with her and she notes that he is inclined to stupidity rather than savagery. Every night, the Beast asks Beauty to sleep with him, only to be refused each time. After each refusal, Beauty dreams of a handsome unknown who she begins to fall in love with. Despite the apparition of a fairy urging her not to be deceived by appearances she does not make the connection between the unknown and the Beast and becomes convinced that the Beast is holding him captive somewhere in the castle. She searches and discovers many enchanted rooms containing sources of entertainment ranging from libraries to aviaries to enchanted windows allowing her to attend the theater. She also comes across many animals including parrots and monkeys which act as servants, but never the unknown from her dreams.
For several months, Beauty lives a life of luxury at the Beast's palace, having every whim catered to, with no end of riches to amuse her and an endless supply of exquisite finery to wear. Eventually, she becomes homesick and begs the Beast to allow her to go see her family again. He allows it on the condition that she returns exactly two months later. Beauty agrees to this and is presented with an enchanted ring which allows her to wake up in her family's new home in an instant when turned three times around her finger. Her older sisters are surprised to find her well fed and dressed in finery and their old jealousy quickly flares when their suitors gazes turn to Beauty despite her providing her sisters lavish gifts to bestow on them and eventually informing the men that she was only there to witness the weddings of her sisters. However, Beauty's heart is moved by her father's overprotection, and she reluctantly agrees to stay longer.
When the two months have passed she envisions the Beast dying alone on the castle grounds and hastens to return despite her brothers resolve to prevent her doing so.. Once she is back in the castle, Beauty's fears are confirmed and she finds the Beast near death in a cave on the grounds. Seeing this, Beauty is distraught, realizing that she loves him. Despite this she remains calm and fetches water from a nearby spring which she uses to resuscitate him. That night, she agrees to marry him and when she wakes up next to him she finds the Beast transformed into the unknown from her dreams. This is followed by the arrival of the fairy who had previously advised her in her dreams, along with a woman she does not recognize, in a golden carriage pulled by white stags. The woman turns out to be the Prince's mother whose joy quickly falters when she finds out that Beauty is not of noble birth. The fairy chastises her and eventually reveals that Beauty is her niece with her actual father being the Queen's brother from Happy Island and her being the fairy's sister.
When the matter of Beauty's background is resolved she requests the Prince tell his tale and so he does. The Prince informs her that his father died when he was young and his mother had to wage war to defend his kingdom. The queen left him in the care of an evil fairy, who tried to seduce him when he became an adult; when he refused, she transformed him into a beast. Only by finding true love, despite his ugliness, could the curse be broken. He and Beauty are married and they live happily ever after together.
Beaumont's version [ edit ]
Beaumont greatly pared down the cast of characters and simplified the tale to an almost archetypal simplicity.[7] The story begins in much the same way, although now the merchant has only six children: three sons and three daughters of which Beauty is one. The circumstances leading to her arrival at the Beast's castle unfolds in a similar manner and on this arrival she is informed that she is mistress there and he will obey her. Beaumont strips most of the detail and lavish descriptions present on Beauty's exploration of the palace in Villeneuve's versions and quickly jumps to her return home. She is given leave to remain there for a week and when she arrives her sisters plot to feign fondness for her to entice her to remain another week in hopes that the Beast will devour her in his anger. Again, she returns to him dying and restores him to life. They then marry and live happily ever after and this ends Beaumont's tale as she omits the background information given on both the Prince and his family and Beauty and hers.
Production and Purpose [ edit ]
Harris identifies the two most popular strands of fairy tale in the eighteenth century as the fantastical romance for adults and the didactic tale for children[8] Beauty and the Beast is interesting as it bridges this gap, with Villeneuve's version being written as a salon tale for adults and Beaumont's being written as a didactic tale for children. Their biographies impact are significant as despite their differences in class and use of literary style they both used subtext to incorporate proto-feminist messages with Villenueve promoting greater equality within marriage and Beaumont encouraging and seeing to the education of young girls.
Tatar (2017) compares the tale to the theme of "animal brides and grooms" found in folklore throughout the world,[9] pointing out that the French tale was specifically intended for the preparation of young girls in 18th century France for arranged marriages.[10] The urban opening is unusual in fairy tales, as is the social class of the characters, neither royal nor peasants; it may reflect the social changes occurring at the time of its first writing.[11]
Hamburger (2015) points out that the design of the Beast in the 1946 film adaptation by Jean Cocteau was inspired by the portrait of Petrus Gonsalvus, a native of Tenerife who suffered from hypertrichosis, causing an abnormal growth of hair on his face and other parts, and who came under the protection of the French king and married a beautiful Parisian woman named Catherine.[12]

Ubisoft designer Michel Ancel has made two famous babies in his career so far: Rayman and Beyond Good & Evil. After literally years of rumours it was finally confirmed last year that he’s working on a sequel to the latter game, but it’s been a while since we’ve heard anything from the former. That’s a wrong that Ancel would someday like to right.
For dreams that are almost certainly coming true, check out these exciting upcoming PC games.
It was the sight of a Rayman statue languishing in a second-hand store that prompted the sentiment from Ancel, who says in an Instagram post “we’ll need to bring him back again… for his fourth adventure! Don’t let heroes die.”
There have only been three Rayman games with a number in the title, the last of which was Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc way back in 2003. Yet 2011’s Rayman Origins still falls within the main sequence of the series, as does its 2013 sequel, Legends, which was Rayman’s last outing. Mention of Rayman’s “fourth adventure” suggests Ancel is hoping to make a fully-fledged Rayman 4.
The only hitch is that he’s a busy man. As his post states, another Rayman would only come “after Wild, after BGE2.” Wild is Ancel’s otherproject: a PlayStation 4 exclusive announced in 2014.
So it’ll be a while before Rayman 4 becomes a reality, but it’s nice to know it is at the very least a dream. | positive |
The sub-adult male whale was believed to have died about three or four days ago and washed into the pool overnight, near a popular surf break, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Marine Fauna Program Co-ordinator Geoff Ross said. Washed up ... the dead whale at Newport Beach. Credit:Nick Moir The phones rang hot early this morning to alert authorities to the latest casualty of the annual whale migration. Several dozen residents, some with young children, gathered to watch police clear a small area of beach in front of the whale - which they curiously deemed to be dangerous - and move spectators and media back to the comparative safety around the public toilets. Steve Messenger, on holidays from Newport Beach in California, was visiting the area to compare the Sydney beach to the one in his hometown. "It was a little bit gross," he said. "It was like a big pile of jelly, like a big blob. You can't see the head or the tail." The ocean pool that the whale washed into, crushing the bollards and chains around it, has been closed off as rangers decide how to remove the body. A sign erected by the council also says the beach has been closed, warning of a possible increase in shark activity.
"Whenever you get a dead whale, there's a chance of pieces of dead whale, blubber or oil washed out there, and that will attract sharks," NPWS northern beaches manager Chris Grudnoff said. "A whale like this would be a very good feed for a pack of sharks." A big problem ... the carcass of the whale in the ocean pool at Newport Beach. Credit:Bob Fowler 'Not unusual at this time of the year' Mr Ross said: "It's not unusual at this time of the year to see dead humpbacks. Off Sydney, we're looking at the tail end of the humpback migration and it's at this time of the year that we start to see the sick and infirm animals coming through - the animals that just won't make it in the population. "And having to fight against these big seas is really taking its toll and some of those animals will die offshore. Generally, they are dealt with by offshore predators such as sharks but, of course, when the seas are very rough and [there are] strong winds, it blows the carcass in shore very quickly.
"This is our second humpback in NSW on the beach already and I would expect a few more this season. Last year, we had seven." Having to fight against these big seas is really taking its toll and some of those animals will die offshore. Generally, they are dealt with by offshore predators such as sharks Wendy McFarlane of ORRCA (Organisation for the Rescue and Research of Cetaceans in Australia) said the whale carcass had considerably damaged the seaward wall of the pool. "What's unusual about this one is a combination of a spring tide and some very big seas [which] actually washed this up into a man-made rock pool," she said. First a seal in dog walking park, now a dead whale ORRCA rescuer Shona Lorigan faced another long day today after spending 12 hours yesterday standing guard over a New Zealand fur seal that decided to come ashore in a nearby dog walking park at Rowland Reserve in Bayview.
Ms Lorigan, who has two dogs of her own, spent the entire day yesterday stopping dogs from getting too close to the seal, which had clambered up on to a deck by the water to sunbathe. "Yesterday was a long but happy day because no harm came to any animal. All the dog walkers were delightful. I spent the whole day down there waiting for the seal to leave," she said. "Today was obviously not such a happy day. It was very sad to see this moment. There are plenty of humpback whales out at sea today but they don't tend to hang around for male deaths, just for the pups," she said. How to remove the 30-tonne carcass? Mr Ross said rangers would be trying to determine the safest way to remove the carcass after today's low tide, which is expected to occur about 2pm.
"We'll go out and assess the situation and we'll plan the best and safest method for getting the carcass away from the bars, maybe up on a beach and then removal at a time later tomorrow morning ... but certainly it will involve a lot of people and a lot of resources. Large bulldozers and equipment will need to be in place," he said. Ms McFarlane said there were three removal options - leaving the carcass at the beach to decompose, burying it at the beach or towing it out to sea. "Quite often if the carcass is in an isolated place, they just leave it to decompose but in an area as public as this, that can't happen. The [other choice is] usually to bury it on site but there's a real problem with vehicle access," she said. "In this case, there is some talk of demolishing the sea wall and hoping that the carcass will wash out to sea with the high tide. And even if it washes just slightly offshore, it can be towed further out to sea and sunk. The at-sea burial will be the technique favoured with this animal. f it has to be removed piecemeal, that would be an absolutely ghastly job and it would be carried out between National Parks and the council." Ms McFarlane said the carcass had some injuries. Although it was not clear whether the whale sustained the injuries before or after it died, she said: "It would leave a blood trail into the sea and that will attract the sharks.
"It's not a good place to surf if you've got a whale carcass nearby." Peter Hay, the acting manager of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, told ABC Radio another plan would be to "cut the whale into pieces on the beach and then remove it by machine up to trucks that would be standing nearby".
Mr Hay said sharks were always a concern. "We are dealing with the ocean. It's a wild place and sharks are really part of the picture," he said.
He said Newport Beach would remain closed, adding: "We are liaising closely with the council ... to maintain the closure if we indeed end up cutting the whale up. That would be basically to keep people out of the water for that potential danger of sharks." Last week, a southern right whale calf believed to have been born in Sydney Harbour was spotted swimming by its mother's side up the Hawkesbury River. The pair were among 15,000 humpback whales making their way north towards warmer waters. Previous attempts
Newport Beach was closed for at least one week in April last year after fears the carcass of a dead sperm whale would attract sharks. Rangers wearing protective gear and armed with chain saws and knives had to hack the carcass into one-metre chunks before taking the parts to a waste management centre. In 2005, marine biologists used explosives to kill an 11-tonne southern right whale beached on Cape Town's False Bay coast after attempts to move it failed. Loading In 1970, the Oregon Highway Division in the United States used dynamite to blow up a 13.7-metre sperm whale carcass that washed up on a Florence beach.
