It's time for politics to fast-forward to the present and have online voting introduced.
In the UK, 38 million people are on Facebook, 15 million are on Twitter, and 4.5 million use online dating sites.
According to the Office for National Statistics, 74% of adults in the UK shop online, 55% read the news online, and 53% are banking online.
Meanwhile, compared with 1945-1997, the voter turnout in this country has dropped by 14.3 percentage points. Turnout amongst 18-24 year olds has been the lowest of all age groups in the last four elections. (2001 – 39%; 2005 – 37%; 2010 – 44%; 2015 – 43%).
It's time that we had a 21st century voting system fit for the digital age we all live in.
The potential benefits of online voting are many and include:
- Greater levels of voter participation
- A method of independently voting for those with vision-impairments
- An accessible method of voting for those with other disabilities
- Long-term savings in the cost of elections
- Accurate vote counts
- The elimination of accidentally spoilt ballots
- Greater security of the ballot
- A method of better informing the electorate about each election
- A future-proofed method of voting for an increasingly digital age

Sue Fewster commented 2016-07-30 20:45:53 +0100Turnout has very little to do with the voting method. It is trust in our politicians that has eroded, not the system of voting. Much better to spend time and resources helping people make more informed decisions.

Dave Levy commented 2016-06-02 00:04:06 +0100The arguments in favour of this proposal are bogus. More seriously in a 2004 essay, Bruce Schneier states that electronic voting systems need to be accurate, fast, scalable and anonymous. He doubts that such a system can be built and I question if a system that allows secrecy of the ballot and transparency of result will ever be possible. There is no evidence that e-voting increases participation, that it's cheaper, that it's more accurate, that it's easier to use, or that it's more secure. The evidence on security is the opposite. We still live in a country where 25% of the population don't have email accounts and therefore cannot assert their online identity or use the internet.

Paul middleton commented 2016-04-02 00:12:02 +0100One point to add. To avoid voting fraud/forced voting you need to make ONLY the last online vote count. For example, everyone will be able to vote as many times between the start and end point in the election period (so they can change their minds as the parties debate) but their final vote before the deadline will be their vote.

Poll on food advertising to children flawed
20 July 2015
A poll that found 73 per cent of adult participants favoured stronger restrictions to reduce the amount of unhealthy food and drink advertising and promotion to children used questions that created the false impression there is a lot of advertising directed at children, says FGC Chief Executive Katherine Rich.
The Horizon Research poll of 1620 New Zealanders' attitudes to junk food marketing restrictions was commissioned by the University of Auckland's School of Population Health and questioned adult New Zealanders (18 years plus) on whether Government actions were needed to restrict the marketing of unhealthy food to children.
Mrs Rich questioned the methodology of the poll.
"If it's like other Horizon surveys, it's not a random sample but an opt-in poll for people who have a particular interest in a given topic.
"The questions are extremely leading, creating the impression there is a lot of advertising directed at children, when this is simply not the case. It's a classic push-poll designed to get a certain answer."
She said many people who answered the survey may not be aware of the codes and policies that already exist.
"Food companies already adhere to these strict rules. These include food advertising rules that are overseen by the Advertising Standards Authority. They are stringent and clear codes and I'm not sure where they could be strengthened.
"The Children's Code for Advertising Food says food advertising should not undermine the wellbeing of children or government nutrition policy, and they shouldn't encourage over-consumption of any food, particularly treat food, snacks, or fast food.
"In addition to that, most of our member companies have clearly-stated public policies that they will not place advertising where children are the main audience. Our members view the codes as important and the right thing to do.
"The amount of advertising to children on TV has decreased dramatically since 1999 when one of the key studies looking at food advertising during children's programming was done. There is now no advertising during pre-school and limited advertising during other children's programming times.
"So, while there while there may be a perception for some that there is regular advertising targeted at children, this is not the case at all.
"New Zealand's self-regulatory model for advertising works well, and I cannot think of any food campaigns in recent times that have been aimed at children."

Update: It is a fake.
Original Story: A fresh new Assassin's Creed: Origins trailer leak has been dropped onto the internet, not only showing us the first 30 seconds of the game's E3 trailer but also the game's setting. With that, it seems many of our suspicions are finally being confirmed about the game's setting and characters.
From what the trailer shows, the game will be taking us back into the hands of the Assassins, rather than the thinly-veiled Ubisoft studio where the last few games have had their "present day" area set. Now, the Assassins will apparently be investigating a recent spate of cyberattacks that aren't being perpetrated by Abstergo.
Ever since Assassin's Creed 3, the real-world segments of Assassin's Creed have had the rather sinister backdrop of Juno, a member of the precursor race called Those Who Came Before, working to try and take over the world. Now, according to the Assassin's Creed: Origins trailer leak, we'll be going back to Egypt in 1354 BC.
This finally lends credence to a number of leaks and hints that the game would be set in Egypt, and that the main character would be an escaped slave. With all of the ancient architecture that Egypt is known for, Egypt has a lot of different opportunities for parkour and other exploration.
We'll likely be seeing the full version of the Assassin's Creed: Origins trailer leak when E3 rolls around, and specifically at the Ubisoft conference. After several years of somewhat lackluster Assassin's Creed games, hopefully Assassin's Creed: Origins and its new past setting will help the series get back into the good graces of gamers.
So, with E3 only around two weeks away, Assassin's Creed fans should cross their fingers and hope that Origins looks good enough that it will surpass Assassin's Creed: Unity and Assassin's Creed: Syndicate when it finally comes out.

Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and the rest of the Golden State Warriors completely embarrassed LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in their marquee match-up last Tuesday and the loss appears to be affecting some of the members of the Cavaliers particularly star forward Kevin Love.
"It's going to take a lot of guys looking at themselves in the mirror and it all starts with our leader over there and trickles down," Kevin Love stated to scout.com's Hayden Grove, who tweeted the quote from one of the Cavaliers' key players.
Love is of course referring to James, who is the Cavaliers' on and off the court leader. In the Cavs' recent loss—a surprising 132-98 blowout in Cleveland—James had only 16 points and struggled from the field missing 9-of-16 field goals plus 3 turnovers.
Meanwhile Love also struggled in the recent meeting against the Warriors, which has won five straight games against the Cavaliers including the games in the 2015 NBA Finals last year. The star power forward settled for just 3 points in 21 minutes on the floor and missed 4-of-5 shots from the field.
In an attempt to clear up Love's quote on James, Groves stated in a succeeding tweet that Love "wasn't calling out LeBron" and that the statement needs to be read with "context" saying Love's message was just about James being "the leader" and that "the team has to follow [James]."
The Warriors are 2-0 this season against LeBron's squad—Golden State won on Christmas Day, 89-83 at home– against the Cavaliers and if they meet again in the NBA Finals, Curry and the rest of the Warriors will bring the huge momentum of their recent dominance of the Cavs and their winning streak against James-led squad.
In February last year, James sounded off on Twitter about Love saying that his teammate should "stop trying to find a way to fit-out and just fit-in".
James has yet to respond about Love's recent statements about his role on being a leader of the Cavaliers.

Monster trucks are all the rage in the US. In fact, the live Monster Jam Show packs out enormodome-style venues across the States. But it's south of the Mason-Dixon Line that monster truck shows are particularly, well, monster. These butt-kickin' spectaculars are thrillfests of donuts, skids and humungous spare tyres –and that's just the audience! What's more, the trucks themselves are superstars in their own right with outrageous names such as Grave Digger, Bulldozer, Wild Thang and Bigfoot. Yes siree Bob, monster trucking is one of the rootin-ist, tootin-ist motorsports around.
What a beast!
And now, thanks to your good buddies at Firebox, y'all can enjoy the excitement of driving one of these gigantic pick-ups without travelling to the land of grits and gravy. Because let's face it, unless your name is Chris Eubank, driving a vehicle this big in the li'l ole Rest of the World is dumber than rasslin' gators.
Beefy suspension
Thankfully, the awesome 4x4 Dodge Raminator can be driven almost anywhere, as it is a gorgeous 1:6 scale RC version of the real thang. This mucho macho beast is perfect for use in the park, garden or nearest outdoor space. Indoor use is possible but you'd need to be dumber than a can of rocks to try it, as this ve-hicle is crazier than a steer in a china shop.
Engine details
The Raminator is seriously realistic and features monstrous oversized tyres, glaring hood lights and a highly detailed exposed engine. What's more it drives like a dawg-gone dream, and boasts a handy gear switch for high-speed cruising/steep inclines. You control all the action with a chunky handheld transmitter that also operates the Raminator's raucous array of realistic sound FX.
Power comes via a 9.6V NiMH rechargeable battery and 6 x AA batteries (included). A 3-4 hour charge gives approximately 25-35 mins running time – more than enough for a 4X4 hot-diggity-doo around the park. So listen up; the Dodge Raminator is one of the most impressive RC vehicles we've seen in ages. In fact, we'll be plum horn-swoggled if it don't race off the shelves faster than a greased thunderbolt! So c'mon good buddy, reach for your greenbacks and git ordering. Ain't that a deal!

Leadership Sangha (Board):
Katherine Janes, Treasurer
Katherine has been practicing various types of mediation since 2006, and has been a part of the Mission Dharma community since 2011. She also volunteers with environmental nonprofits in the Bay Area. Katherine enjoys spending time in nature while hiking and camping and likes to practice meditating while running marathons.
Ken Barnes
Ken was introduced to meditation 8 years ago, and since that time has had a daily practice, deepening his understanding of the path leading to liberation. His chosen tradition is Theravada, with the addition of some studies in Dzogchen. Ken has been a member of Mission Dharma for 7 years, with Howie as his several-year guiding teacher. He has attended numerous residential retreats, and is now a member of the current two-year cohort of Spirit Rock's Dedicated Practitioner Program. He is teaching in the Introduction to Meditation classes of Mission Dharma. For many years a social justice advocate, he is currently active in a coalition of community organizations around the issue of equitable health care. He is honored to be a new member of the Mission Dharma Board and looks forward to serving the sangha and the wider Buddhist community.
Tara Mulay
Tara has been practicing insight meditation and lovingkindness since 2003, and Mission Dharma became her home sangha in 2010. The support of the Mission Dharma sangha and guiding teacher Howie Cohn were invaluable as Tara committed to a 24/7 daily practice and a number of long retreat practice periods in the United States and Myanmar. Tara is passionate about the capacity of dharma practice to free the mind from difficult patterns and to awaken practitioners to their own capacity for deep happiness and peace. She is committed to empowering people of all backgrounds to see this potential for awakening in dharma practice. She has taught a number of class series for Mission Dharma and in May 2016 co-founded the San Francisco People of Color Insight Meditation Group. In April 2017, she will graduate from Spirit Rock Meditation Center's Community Dharma Leaders Program and begin a four-year retreat teacher training program with Insight Mediation Society. She takes great joy in providing volunteer service to Mission Dharma and knowing the benefits it provides to practitioners in San Francisco, as it has benefitted her. Tara's daily practice also informs her work as an appellate attorney in San Francisco.
Punit was born and raised in India, and he moved to San Francisco in 2012. Dissatisfied by the rat race, he started meditating in 2013, and went to his first Vipassana retreat in 2015. He's been influenced by multiple schools of thought - Buddhist, Advaita Vedanta, and Self-Inquiry. Punit enjoys giving back to the community, and started volunteering at Mission Dharma in 2016. In his free time, you can catch him reading a book or planning his next camping trip.
Noemi Sohn
Noemi has been part of the Mission Dharma sangha for almost nine years and Howard Cohn is her primary dharma teacher. She has studied Zen and Tibetan Buddhism. However she is most nurtured in the Theravada/Vipassana tradition. Noemi has been to several residential retreats and practices in the dharma everyday. She has devoted her life to working for social justice, working in racial equality, ending violence against women and disability rights. Sometimes she's a poet.

My friend Lindsey recently made these cute sweaters. Darling, eh? I'm secretly hoping she'll make one for my little girl. Well, I was secretly hoping, now I'm very publicly hoping.
Just in case Lindsey finds my hoping too presumptuous, I had to try out the FREE pattern too. After all, a girl can never have too many darling sweaters.
I know, I know. Couldn't even pick a different color or button than the original...It was just so cute.
The best part...this pattern works up SUPER quickly. I'm talking a couple of evenings quick. Love it!

"I definitely want to get you a piano," Sante said.
I want one too. Although I hated the 12 years of lessons I took, I sure do love how well I can rock a piano. And there is something about running my fingers across keys that aren't on a computer that sings to my soul.
But the thing is, even for a girl who knows how to slow down time, I've just got so many things I want to do. And I don't know about you, but there are times where I'll be sorting laundry and 45 minutes later I'll still not be finished because I got distracted by the floor that needed to be swept or some physical therapy exercises I needed to do or a Twitter post I so desperately needed to type before I forgot it.
Now that I've started working on my own business and writing another book, I've really added to the amount of things I want to do every day. Things like getting a piano, joining up with Team in Training or singing in a band might be fun and right up my alley, I'm not sure if I have the energy to devote to them right now. So what's a (distracted) girl to do?
A few months ago I finished up my business plan, and one of things I had to write was my company's mission statement. This was a guiding statement you could use to make decisions about clients, accounting practices, everything really. Recently it dawned on me that I can use that same principle in my life. If I have a mission statement for my life, then I could use that to guide my decision-making every day.
This has been a revelation and a godsend for me. Oftentimes I have been pulled between options, wondering what to do. Depending on what my state of mind or mood is, I can end up choosing something that ultimately doesn't serve me. I'm not saying I didn't have fun going out to happy hour, but I am saying that the choice to close the blinds and watch four episodes of Heroes probably didn't get me closer to my dreams. (Although I still don't regret it. That show rules.)
Knowing what you want is so important to success. It provides the road map. If you don't know what you want, how are you supposed to get there? It's like taking a trip and not choosing your destination until you get to the airport. How are you supposed to know what to pack? What kind of money you will need? Or if you need a visa? Or what local treats you can't miss?
Don't get me wrong, sometimes traveling like that can be fun, but if you're only allowed one trip in all of your life, wouldn't you want to make the absolute most of it? If you know where you're going, you can afford to enjoy the ride and to have a good time. That's why I'm stoked to have my mission statement guiding my life:
I want to be a successful and influential author and business woman who is physically, spiritually and mentally healthy and who has healthy and loving relationships.
If that means skipping a happy hour to go to the gym and waiting on the piano until my first book is published, then so be it. But I also know it doesn't mean I can't watch a little TV because Heroes is part of my sound mental health 😉 Balance is key, after all.
So what do you think? Is a mission statement the way to go? Or is it too structured? Too formulaic? Do you have a mission statement? I'd love to know!

Reclaiming Jonathan Edwards for Political Progressivism
October 1988By Michael Nelson
Michael Nelson is Associate Professor of Political Science at Vanderbilt University. A former editor of The Washington Monthly, his articles have appeared in the Journal of Politics and Harvard Business Review, among others. His books include Presidents, Politics, and Policy (with Erwin C. Hargrove) and Presidential Selection (with Alexander Heard). He is a political analyst for WSMV-TV in Nashville.
Am I alone in having grown up with this image of Jonathan Edwards? a wrathful Puritan, preaching a narrow, intellectually primitive Calvinism, smugly assuming his own place in the ranks of Gods predestined elect, with eternal damnation awaiting most of his parishioners, even as he insisted that they toe the rigid moral line in the here and now; still worse, a man of privilege and status who, to justify the social order of his day, blithely equated New England Puritans with Gods new Chosen People, thus advancing a doctrine that led, in the short run, to vile treatment of the Indians and, permanently, to a morally arrogant messianic strain in American foreign policy.
Certainly that is the image of Edwards the scholarly community has sustained through most of this century. Literary critics and progressive historians such as Carl Van Doren and Vernon L. Parrington have tended to dismiss him as irrelevant to our day or even to his own. The epilogue to Henry B. Parkess 1930 book, The Fiery Puritan, charges, for example, that if Edwards had never lived, there would be today no blue laws, no societies for the suppression of vice, no Volstead Act.
In truth, Edwardss life and thought were vastly different from the caricature. He was a man of the establishment, yes, but one who defied and was brought down by the establishment, both ecclesiastical and financial. He was a man of religion, but he probed the frontiers of avant-garde physics and psychology. He was an orthodox Calvinist even though he doubted his own salvation and feared the flames of Hell. He was an intellectual who, in the hierarchy of values, placed the impulses of the heart above the reasoned judgments of the mind. He was from birth a comfortable and prosperous man who, late in life, moved to the barren outer reaches of the frontier to work among the Indians.
Above all, Jonathan Edwards was an early 18th-century conservative who by his thought and by his personal courage has much to teach those of us who profess to be late 20th-century political liberals. For Edwardss lifelong labors resulted not only in brilliant books and essays but in the leading event of American colonial history, the First Great Awakening. The Awakening was marked by widespread and often frenzied religious conversions, which alone makes it something from which many modern liberals recoil. Such a response is utterly foolish. Written in the record of 18th-century revivalism is the nexus that, in American culture, has undergirded every important period of lasting reform, the nexus between religious transformation, personal kindness, and social progress.

Fog's connections mull options
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - While it is more likely that Lost in the Fog will simply train up to the Breeders' Cup Sprint, trainer Greg Gilchrist opened the door a crack to run his undefeated 3-year-old sprinter against older horses in the Grade 1 Vosburgh at Belmont Park on Oct. 1.
Gilchrist said Monday that he would sit down this week with owner Harry Aleo and formulate a plan for the remainder of the year. Gilchrist said everything would be discussed, including stopping on the colt, stretching him out in distance, or pointing to the Breeders' Cup. Gilchrist said running in the Sprint is his preferred option. Aleo would have to supplement Lost in the Fog to the Breeders' Cup for a fee of $90,000.
Gilchrist said if the decision were made to run in the Breeders' Cup then he would have to decide how best to get there. Gilchrist said he would likely to ship Lost in the Fog to Belmont Park 2 1/2 to 3 weeks before the Breeders' Cup, so adding another week to that schedule and running in the Vosburgh is an option.
"The only way I might come is if he came home and showed no ill effects from the race,'' Gilchrist said Monday from his Golden Gate Fields barn. "I could possibly go to the Vosburgh and stay. That's something that's very remote, but it certainly is a possibility.''
Lost in the Fog, whose victory in the King's Bishop ran his record to 9 for 9, was due to fly back to northern California on Tuesday. Gilchrist said that Lost in the Fog was tired after the race and that jockey Russell Baze told him "inside the sixteenth pole I was out of gas, there was no horse left.''
Gilchrist said that everything was fine with Lost in the Fog's left hind foot, which had developed a quarter crack after the last race. Gilchrist said that Lost in the Fog would resume training in a bar shoe that protects the quarter crack. He did not race in a bar shoe.
Gilchrist said he would have no problem training Lost in the Fog up to the Breeders' Cup Sprint. It would be 63 days between races. Lost in the Fog had 48 days between the Carry Back at Calder and King's Bishop.
"We went from six to seven furlongs this time,'' Gilchrist said. "We're going from seven back to six. My license says 'Trainer' - I ought to be able to do that.''
One or two turns next for First Samurai
First Samurai, the emphatic Hopeful winner, was flown back to Kentucky on Monday and will train at Churchill Downs while his connections decide when and where to run him next.
Trainer Frank Brothers mentioned the Champagne at Belmont Park or the Lane's End Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland as possible next spots. Both are Grade 1 races worth $500,000 on Oct. 8. The Champagne is run at one mile around one turn, the Futurity at 1 1/16 miles around two turns.
Brothers admitted that the Champagne is more attractive from the standpoint that Belmont hosts the Breeders' Cup this year on Oct. 29. Brothers said he doesn't believe that First Samurai would be hindered by running a two-turn race prior to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile, which this year is a one-turn, 1 1/16-mile race.
"There would be nothing wrong with going two turns at Keeneland and come back to Belmont and go a one-turn mile and a sixteenth,'' Brothers said.
Meanwhile, trainer Patrick Biancone said Henny Hughes, who had won his first three races and finished second in the Hopeful, will be pointed to the Champagne.
"Henny will live to fight another day,'' Biancone said. "Sometimes you run into a better horse. The other horse was better [Saturday].''
Leroidesanimaux may wait for Breeders' Cup
Trainer Bobby Frankel must decide whether to run Fourstardave Handicap winner Leroidesanimaux again before the Breeders' Cup Mile. Frankel noted that Leroidesanimaux is not Breeders' Cup eligible, but is likely to be supplemented to that race for a fee of $90,000.
However, Frankel said he would not run Leroidesanimaux in the Kelso Breeders' Cup Handicap at Belmont on Oct. 2 because he would be running for only half of the $350,000 purse. If Leroidesanimaux runs again before the Breeders' Cup, it could come in the $600,000 Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland on Oct. 8.
"I told the owner I might just train him into the Breeders' Cup,'' Frankel said.
Leroidesanimaux earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 108 for his win in the Fourstardave.
Funny Cide returns to work tab
Funny Cide worked four furlongs in 51.16 seconds on the main track Monday morning, his first breeze in more than three weeks. Robin Smullen was aboard for the move, which was conducted over a wet track shortly after the track opened at 5:30 a.m.
Funny Cide missed about a week of training because of an injury to his back. Trainer Barclay Tagg said while the injury "scared me to death'' it has been taken care of with chiropractic work. Tagg said he would like to get a few more works into Funny Cide in order to have him ready to run at Belmont by the middle of September.
"I would like to get a race in him, and if I can do that and he runs well and I'm pleased with him then we will run in the Jockey Club,'' Tagg said. "If I can't get him ready then we will run him in the New York-bred races. My goal would be the Jockey Club Gold Cup and Breeders' Cup [Classic] if I can.''
Funny Cide won the Jockey Club Gold Cup last year. He has not run since finishing fourth in the Suburban on July 2.
Discreet Cat impresses in debut
Discreet Cat stated his case for being the most impressive debut juvenile winner here with a monstrous 3 1/2-length victory here on Saturday. He ran six furlongs in 1:09.76 and earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 106.
Trainer Stanley Hough said Discreet Cat trained the best of all his 2-year-olds, but that he had a little bit of a shin issue a few works prior to Saturday's start. While Hough said Discreet Cat is Breeders' Cup caliber, he said, "It would pretty much be a rush job to get there, so it's very, very doubtful.''
Hough said that Discreet Cat would have to really show he "needed to run'' to make his next start in the Grade 1 Futurity on Sept. 17.
Discreet Cat has the pedigree to run well at Saratoga. He is by Forestry, a King's Bishop winner, out of the dam Pretty Discreet, an Alabama winner.
* Jockey Gary Stevens has a bruised tailbone and took off his mounts on Sunday and Monday. Stevens is likely to return by the weekend, his agent, Craig O'Bryan, said.

Chelsea are reported to be close to signing FC Porto winger Yacine Brahimi, although his club have admitted to being in talks with other clubs, as the Blues try to add more players to the club this summer. The deal for Brahimi is a tough bidding war, but the club are confident of convincing the player to join them at Stamford Bridge, according to reports by Portuguese website O Jogo.
Wolfsburg, AC Milan, Premier league rival Liverpool and others are keen on landing the highly-rated Algerian winger this summer, but Chelsea hope to complete the deal within a few days. According to the reports, the deal is in advanced stages and Porto want £30million for the player. However, the club has a poor financial position and has issues with the Financial Fair Play rules, hence a fee of £15m looks more likely.
Guus Hiddink believes that Monday's opposition Tottenham could be affected by nerves as they are involved in the title race for the first time.
Spurs are the visitors to Stamford Bridge and they will be looking to keep in touch with Leicester City at the top of the table. After a 1-1 draw with Manchester United, Leicester have moved one step closer towards the title. Tottenham could have been in a much better position had it not been for the draw with West Brom at White Hart Lane. This was a deeply disappointing result that allowed Leicester to go within three points of the title.
This season has been a questionable one for Chelsea, and one that they would undoubtedly prefer to wipe clean from footballing history. Having started off with a terrible 2-2 draw against Swansea, the club appeared to set the tone for what would be their form for the rest of the season. Not only was morale already low, but with the combined toxicity of the atmosphere surrounding Jose Mourinho's management status a negative vibe hounded the team.
As if 'the season to forget' wasn't enough for Chelsea fans to bare, there are rumours presently doing the rounds that hint at Diego Costa missing out on Euro 2016.
Thierry Henry has warned Chelsea's underperforming stars that they have a tough future ahead – if they do not improve – under Antonio Conte next summer.
The Italian has been announced as the next manager of Chelsea on a three-year contract. He replaces Guus Hiddink, who has been at the club on an interim basis. There has already been a lot of talk about Conte's style of management and the latest to comment is former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry. After having played with Conte in a short spell at Juventus, Henry recalls that the Italian is a straightforward guy who will do anything for the betterment of the team.
Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink believes that the English FA has been unfairly punishing striker Diego Costa.
The Spaniard has already received a number of suspensions since his move to Chelsea in 2014. However, he continues to be one of the best forwards that the club has seen since the days of Didier Drogba. Costa has been involved in a number of clashes with opposition players. This has often seen both parties at the receiving end of yellow and red cards. This was the case in the FA Cup quarter-final against Everton when Costa clashed with defensive midfielder Gareth Barry throughout the game.

A world of glittery mice and ring tosses.
When the directions in life say you are lost, you may just be on the right path. One afternoon while my husband and I were out running errands without realizing it our GPS stopped working properly. I was lost, which for a directionally challenged person like myself I was thankful that I was still in the same state. Since my husbands return from Iraq and his medical retirement our lives together have changed drastically. My husband is now in a wheelchair due to the affects that serving his country has taken on his body. As a former worker in the healthcare field (most of my life) I have always encouraged those I work with that being in a wheelchair is not a death sentence,yet the opportunity to look at the world and enjoy the little things. As we grow older we realize those are what truly matter the most.
In a drill I am very use to in my life. I found myself once again fighting with time and making a mad dash to finish our errands,find my husband a restroom all while looking for the right directions home. I drove into a parking lot and took the 1st space available. I then helped my husband into his chair as I rush into the building with him. Upon entering the building a little ball of fur jumped out of a cage and landed in my arms. This was not your typical little bundle of fur I quickly realized. As I looked around I realized we were in the local SPCA. As soon as this little bundle of fur landed in my arms,she gently place her paw on my chin to open my mouth and calm me down. She then continued her greeting as she smelled my breathe to asses my body chemistry. Once she decided I was ok she jumped into my husbands lap while in his wheel chair and greeted him the same way. As I asked for the restroom so I could take care of priorities 1st, the workers and volunteers attempted to remove this tiny bundle of fur off my husbands chest. The more they tried the more she fought needless to say she made it very clear we were going no where without her.
Helping my husband use the restroom with a 2.5 month old kitten attached to his lap was more fun than I was looking for that day. I quickly learned a new skill of transferring my husband to the toilet while making sure the poor little kitten did not drown in the process. I braced myself as I have worked with many people with disabilities and helped train animals to assist them but I had never attempted to train a kitten. As the three of us left the restroom this little kitten started screaming at me and pawing at me and still would not be removed from my husband. I knew from my personal experience something was about to happen and I had better pay attention. As we went up to the counter to adopt this little kitten my husband experienced a flash back from his time in Iraq. Lilly and I worked on helping my husband while I attempted to explain to a unbelieving group of people what was happening. Lilly had the instincts and taught me how to teach her, I just had to listen to her. At not quite even a year old Lilly is my husbands service animal. She has jumped through any and every hoop the drs needed for her to be signed off as my husbands fully trained and licensed service animal.
Lilly reminds us of my husbands medication schedule daily, she alerts me when something is not right with my husband. She will wake me when my husband needs me or when my blood sugar levels have bottomed out. She has our hearts and souls and is growing daily in her abilities. She is very in-tune with her humans and while out in public if her humans are doing well she picks up on others emotions and guides me to them to be of help while she loves on them and puts a smile on their face also. Her favorite play time activities include playing fetch with the rings from the milk jugs and her glittery mice. We wake up surrounded by her gifts, glittery mice and rings. When directions in life say you are lost, you may just be on the right path sometimes you just have to stop and listen.

Reducing Chargebacks through Effective Billing Descriptors
By CardNotpresent.com Staff
When consumers open their credit card statement at the end of a billing month, the conscientious ones generally scan the descriptions of the charges to make sure everything they are paying for is something they truly bought. For Card Not Present merchants, the descriptor they use to identify the charge is vital because a consumer can't always connect in his mind a product he received in the mail (from a merchant he may not remember having surfed into) with the words on the page in front of him. Often, this confusion leads to the initiation of a chargeback dispute. In most of those cases, the consumer actually did make the purchase but sincerely does not recognize the charge on the bill. The confusion is genuine and, according to Paul Larsen, a New York-based consultant specializing in advising companies collecting recurring CNP payments, completely unnecessary.
Controlling What You Can
Limiting the chargebacks within a merchant's control can be the difference between surpassing the threshold that could trigger fines or not. It could also mean the difference between having the room to be a bit more adventurous in its marketing activities or having to leave money on the table because the retailer must turn away potential customers who present an elevated fraud risk, Larsen says. And chargebacks initiated because a consumer does not recognize the charge, he continues, are well within a merchant's control.
"Cardinal rule number one, always make your descriptor as clear as possible so the customer understands the purchase," Larsen explains.
He also advises merchant clients to make sure the descriptor includes its customer service number. If customers call the store before they call the bank the merchant has a chance to solve the issue before it becomes a chargeback situation.
To Roll Up or Not to Roll Up
But, aside from ensuring purchases are described on statements as clearly as possible, Larsen says there is another way for merchants to leverage the descriptor system to control their chargebacks.
Years ago Visa began measuring chargebacks at a corporate level (called the dba rollup method) in addition to the traditional individual business unit level. On a billing statement this manifests itself as a three-letter company code followed by an asterisk.
"Understanding there might be individual units within a corporation that have greater challenges with chargebacks than others—as long as real abuse isn't at play—Visa wanted to give merchants the opportunity to get those absorbed into the corporate look," Larsen says.
The way Visa's chargeback monitoring program works, 100 chargebacks a month triggers the first level of response. If 1 percent of a company's transactions result in a chargeback, a higher level of response (perhaps a fine) is triggered. Allowing a company to roll up the transactions of all its various business units for Visa measurement makes it more likely the merchant will hit the initial 100 chargebacks, but less likely, with many more total transactions, that it will reach the more serious 1 percent mark. Conversely, measuring at the business unit level might be advantageous because several divisions might be under the 100-mark, but grouped together they would trigger a review.
"Visa strongly urges their processors to make their CNP merchants use the dba rollup method," Larsen explains. "But, at the end of the day, they don't enforce it. So, merchants can either use it or not use it, whatever is best for them."
Soft Serve
Depending on its processor's capabilities, a merchant can also use soft descriptors (also called dynamic or flexible descriptors) to describe a purchase more clearly. Larsen says while some processors may force a merchant to set up an account for each division, each with its own descriptor, the better processors enable merchants to set up divisions within a single merchant account. They also allow their clients to override the default descriptor with a soft descriptor that describes the transaction at a purchase—rather than company or division—level.
This enables retailers to subdivide into multiple departments or stores with unique descriptions and customer support lines. These can be posted on cardholders' statements for clarification and resolution purposes.
Larsen points to a company he used to work for that sold magazines as an example of how a merchant might use soft descriptors
"We sold 1,000 different magazine titles," he explains. "So, even though our processor would let us set up one merchant account with 1,000 divisions—each representing a magazine title and each having a descriptor—it seemed ludicrous to do that. Thankfully, the soft descriptor allowed us at the purchase level to send the title of the magazine and override the default descriptor of the company. That way the individual magazine was described on the customer's statement."
In the end, Larsen says, it is incumbent on Card Not Present merchants to make the descriptors that appear on consumers' credit card statements as clear as possible. Retailers need room to maneuver, he says, which means eliminating every unnecessary chargeback.
"We advocate screening out all the chargebacks you can control thereby allowing you to absorb a few more that are a result of pure marketing practices."

Being 'green' is starting to creep into every aspect of life. I long ago switched to compact flourescent bulbs, and added insulation to my attic. Recently at my office, the Green Team proposed we stop using paper coffee filters and start using a reusable filter. If not for environment reasons, economics are also driving people to conserve and make more sustainable choices.
But fountain pens had honestly not occurred to me to be a green choice. Maybe it's because the nicer ones come in really nice packaging – several dollar's worth to be sure. Or maybe it's because the price of a single really nice pen might just equal a lifetime of cheap ballpoints. Perhaps it's just that a fountain pen seems fancy, and fancy usually means excessive.
However, I think it might just be a green choice if the pen is reasonably priced. Suppose, say, a Lamy Safari. A nice, usable pen for $30. Add a bottle of ink (nice ink) for $12, and you have a total investment of $42, say $45 with taxes.
The Pilot G2 is a nice disposable gel rollerball, with performance similar to a fountain pen. A dozen goes for about $16, so for the same money as a fountain pen we're looking at about 3 dozen G2's. Well, and the fact that you won't be chucking 36 empty plastic pen bodies into a landfill. They say the G2 is refillable, but strangely enough the refills only seem to be sold in packs of 2, and cost more than whole pens sold by the dozen.
So is using a fountain pen green? I would say that it probably is, assuming you don't lose it. I'm not sure how many G2's worth of ink the average 2oz ink bottle holds, but given how long it took me to drain a bottle of Skrip once (the only bottle of ink I've ever emptied) I'd say it's more like 100 pen's worth.

Blake Shelton splurged $10,000 on dinner for fellow country star Luke Bryan following a bet over an award.
Both singers were up for Country Song of the Year at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in May (14), and the close friends made a pact that whoever won the prize would have to buy dinner for the loser.
Shelton was the victor for his track Boys 'Round Here, but he tells Access Hollywood that the bet ultimately backfired on him, saying, "Luke comes walking in with his wife, then with his entire band and crew, his management team, some label people - they had to find a room to put us all in! It was like a damn $10,000 dinner I bought him that night. So it was like, 'Hey, I hope you win next time!'"
When asked if he would make the bet again, Shelton added, "I'm not real sure those awards are worth 10 grand! I need to find out exactly how much they're worth before I do that again."
If they had decided to make the bet again for Wednesday night's (05Nov14) 2014 CMA Awards, it would have been a win-win - Shelton beat out Bryan for the Male Vocalist of the Year award, while Bryan took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy over his friend.
