Choosing the right CPU, GPU, or even SSD could be considered difficult – but so could simple peripherals, such as an HDD enclosure. These seem to be a dime a dozen, and while many consumer purchases may boil down to aesthetic value, we've discovered with Zalman's ZM-HE350 U3 that not all external enclosures perform alike.
"The golden age of home computing" is a phrase that I use quite frequently to describe the current state of the computer hardware market. Those keeping tabs on the hardware scene over even the last five years have watched as the price of systems and components have dropped to record lows, while technology has streaked forward at break-neck speed.
Powerful systems can be built for under $1,000, while solid-state drives are finally becoming affordable. Hard drives now have densities that were unimaginable and new interfaces, such as USB 3.0, can transfer large files faster than ever before.
To help prove this last point, I am taking a look at Zalman's ZM-HE350 U3 external hard drive enclosure. Until USB 3.0 enclosures came to the market, I had no interest in owning an external drive. To me, they were slow and the benefit of a larger capacity over flash drives was offset by the speed limitations of the interface. But after finally breaking down and picking up a USB 3.0 model a few months ago, I am a believer! Will Zalman's offering help keep the faith, or break it? Let's check it out.
The enclosure will accept any standard 3.5″ SATA 1.5Gbps, 3Gbps or 6Gbps drive with the latter being scaled back to SATA II speeds. Being USB 3.0 capable, it is also backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0 interfaces. This means those who do not have the latest and greatest USB technology are still covered. With USB 3.0 providing a theoretical maximum throughput of 5Gbps, there should be no restrictions on transfer speed.
The main body, which makes up the top, bottoms and sides, is painted aluminum while the ends are capped in with plastic. Each side features the Zalman name and slogan. Down the left side of the front cover are three, blue LEDs that indicate power, hard drive activity and USB connectivity.
Around the back, from top to bottom, are the USB connection, rocker power switch and the AC power adapter connection. Between the USB port and power switch there looks to be an area for an additional connection, evident by a rectangular outline. This is for the e-SATA connector available on Zalman's other model, the ZM-HE350 U3E. Rounding out the back are the screws, one in each corner, which need to be removed before the internals can be accessed.
The bottom is very simple with two rubber strips to protect the surface where the enclosure sits, at the same time stopping any slipping or sliding should the unit be bumped or the cables pulled.
As the saying goes, it is what is on the inside that counts. Removing the four screws from the back and pulling out on the plastic reveals the PCB, which the hard drive is mounted on. The main item to focus on is the JMicron JMS539 bridge controller on the left side of the PCB. This chip acts as the go between for SATA and SuperSpeed USB commands. I won't go into specifics but if any readers would like to satisfy their inner geek, all of the data can be found on JMicron's website.
The included hardware is sparse, but nothing else is really needed. A welcome inclusion is a small screwdriver for those who may not have the necessary tools on hand, four mounting screws used to secure the hard drive, a USB 3.0 data cable and the AC power adapter. Instructions are also included for a brief but thorough walkthrough on how to install a drive and use the enclosure.
There's no use buying a product if it isn't easy to use and doesn't perform well so it's time to get our hands dirty, so to speak.

Never in a million years did I think I would ever be doing this… but three years ago, there I was… holding my very first chicken!
I didn't know who was more scared… me, or my new hen.
Visions of the Hitchcock movie, The Birds, ran through my head as I cautiously held this strange little creature… I was holding a live chicken… just one short month after moving into our new home… in the country.
We knew we were going to have chickens… however, I was planning on waiting till spring. Thus allowing me some time to study up on the subject of caring for our feathered friends.
But, when my neighbor unexpectedly asked us if we wanted their chickens, I quickly found myself thrust into the role of 'chicken farmer!'
I had no clue what I was doing!
Thankfully, chickens are very forgiving!
As long as you make sure they have clean drinking water and food, they will lovingly supply you with breakfast.
But, you will have to cook it of course! They do expect you to do some of the work!
Having been 'thrown into the deep end' with this chicken farming thing, I found myself wishing there were things I would have known ahead of time…
…things like caring for a sick or injured bird… or just what makes a good broody hen… and what exactly do you feed these little darlings!
I remember spending all kinds of money on the expensive organic foods… but then, I didn't realize we had a feed mill right near by, OR, that you could actually grow their food!
So, my question to you is this? Do you want to raise chickens?
If the answer is yes, then I would say, 'Go for it!'
But… my best advice that I could give you would be… before you jump in, do some research first!
You don't want to find yourself running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to figure out what to do for a sick or injured bird!' By doing the research first, you are ahead of the game!
Yes, it has been a learning experience working with these little dinosaurs of mine. However, this 'city chick' turned country wouldn't have it any other way!
Until next time,

Human beings are collaborators with each other. Socialism is one kind of cooperation of people. One thing determines the socialist organization. It is the lack of freedom and the complete obedience to a Fuehrer (leader). Not surprisingly, everyone considers themselves to be part of the ruling group, forcing others to submit.
But, the system of exchange of products and services has been helped by the technical creation of a medium of exchange. We now have a system of civilization that works better than any other– a free market capitalist system.

Whether you're looking for yourself or for your child, it's important that the musical tuition you find is not just affordable, but good quality and, perhaps most important, comfortable. Choosing a teacher who is less expensive may end up being more expensive if they don't teach very well, and will almost certainly be a waste of money if you or your child aren't comfortable learning with them. It's important to enjoy playing your instrument and that also means being happy with your tuition.
So how do you make sure that your music teacher will provide the quality tuition you are looking for?
Get in Touch
Once you have found your prospective teachers, either through reference, adverts, or a database such as musicteachers.co.uk, your first step should be to get in touch. There will be a number of questions you want to ask them, and asking in person is always better than asking via email. You can either arrange a meeting or, if you feel it's safer, simply discuss over the phone. Here are a few of the things you will want to ask them about:
How long a person has been in any profession is important, but teaching is a profession where experience cannot be replaced by skill or willing. The longer a person has been teaching, the more experience they will have had of different types of students and the mistakes that learners can make. In turn, this creates better teachers, and create better musicians of their students.
Don't rely on experience alone as a measure of quality, but it is a very important consideration, and worth noting that a more experienced teacher is more likely to help you learn, flourish and grow.
Also important are references. It's unfortunate to have to say it, but you need to be able to trust that the person you are speaking to is who they say they are, especially when you are seeking a teacher for your child. Most music teachers will be able to provide good quality references when you ask for them, and will even expect you to ask, so don't be hesitant.
If you get in direct touch with the teacher's referees, it will probably be worth asking them the same or similar questions that you asked the teacher, just to double check that they are right. As well as fact checking, references will also provide an indication of quality and teaching style.
If they aren't offered as referees, it may also be worth asking if you can speak to some of the current students to find out their experiences and how well the teacher works for them. Everyone learns differently, but at least you will be able to gauge how the teacher teaches.
Free Consultation
Before making your final decision, it's probably worth scheduling a free consultation with your potential teacher. This will give you the chance to meet them in person prior to beginning lessons so that you can get a feel for their personality and whether it suits you or your child. This also allows you to ask further questions and get some direction, while also discussing your own preferences. This is often easiest to do in person, when communication is at its easiest.
Common Questions
If you're not sure what you should be discussing with your music teacher, you can find a few example questions which you might want to ask on the Music Teachers site:
Guidelines for Choosing a Teacher in Safety and Confidence.
If you're struggling to find a potential music teacher in the first place, then musicteachers.co.uk is also an invaluable resource for finding a music teacher in your area. You can search within an area, by instrument and using a number of other keywords which will help narrow your search to a teacher that suits you.

The squat is undoubtedly one of the best exercises you can perform for total body strength and muscle mass. It is the basis for all leg training and has been shown to develop size in all areas due to huge hormone response from big squatting.
Not only this but in the gym a man is judged on his squat. Most people will ask what do you bench, but proper lifters will want to know what you squat.
It is an exercise that many people neglect and many people are even frightened of doing. It should NOT under any circumstances be avoided. It should be the basis of most peoples weights routines.
One of the main reasons for people not doing it is that they do not know proper technique. It is a very tough lift to get the technique right so I don't blame them. I would always recommend doing squats with a spotter to help you but here are some fantastic instructional videos to help you develop your squat technique:
So you think you can squat:
Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ME8gEN54Ao
Part 2 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV8ZxGICsL0
Part 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQIAzzMDhSI
Part 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvv4uk9XbsY
Part 5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwKRhwjRZnM
Box squat tutorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbCaLZ8a0cw
Number 1 squat mistake - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDaQo3eODrY
So after studying these videos you should have a bit more confidence in the technique for the squat. Now you just need the motivation to get to the gym and get squatting.
Here are some great videos to get you fired up to squat:

Please feel free to peruse the pages of my online chain maille catalogue!
Maille (or chain maille) is a profoundly beautiful, time honored (and time consuming!) art. Originally
used as armor in medieval ages, it is now used mostly as very unique, yet primal decoration.
Armor is still used in the SCA and most renaissance faire and fantasy live action role playing (LARP) environments, but my, and other's work is becoming
much more accepted in the mainstream. My maille jewelry has a very medieval feel to it, without looking "out of place"
with most of your everyday clothing choices! You can take a bit of the Renaissance faire with you everyday in your travels
that is uniquely handcrafted, perhaps chain maille made ONLY for you. Many handmade custom maille pieces have left my workbench to
be enjoyed and cherished by my satisfied customers!
Here, you'll surely find something that will soothe your appetite for banishing the mundane in your life.
All the pieces within are handmade, from beautiful necklaces, to nearly indestructable chain maille juggling balls!
Enjoy your journey into the medieval, and please, let me know what you think! Questions, comments, or just gab!
Start your own renaissance, beginning with your jewelry. I sincerely hope you enjoy my maille creations as much as I love creating them!
Good day!

Please Email first to confirm shipping costs if paying by money order!!
Here's what customers are saying about my work:
"I am sitting here staring down with smiles at my GORGEOUS new jewelry!! (I was wearing them, and was loathe
to remove them, but I wanted to look at them, so I reluctantly removed them long enough to revel in their beauty!)
THANK YOU! Not only will these go perfectly with my on-order burgundy gown, but the reds are subtle enough
that I will be able to wear with other outfits. I could totally see wearing these around the holidays.
My necklace-loving coworker is going to be so jealous!
What you really captured for me was my wish for fancy-without-overdoing-it.
I really wanted elegant and refined, and you hit it right on the head! I'm amazed by the intricacy of chainmaille just thinking of that hard work, I'm so honored to receive these!
The final effect is glamorous yet understated, JUST what I asked for!!"
Eva in IL
Just email me and we'll work something out! If you can dream it up, I can probably do it. Costs depend on materials and time involved.

Question: Do you believe that human activity is significantly or primarily contributing to the earth's warming climate and, if so, what policies would you like to see put in place to deal with it?
Jon Huntsman: I don't know. I'm not scientist, nor am I a physicist, but I would defer to science on that discussion.
And I would say that the scientific community owes us more in terms of a better description or explanation about what might lie beneath all of this.
But there is not enough information right now to be able to formulate policies in terms of addressing it overall, primarily because it's a global issue.
We can enact policies hear, but I wouldn't want to unilaterally disarm as a country.
I wouldn't want to hinder job creators during a time when our economy is flat.
When you've got other nations that are major emitters and they're not willing to play by the same playbook, then you've got a real problem.
So as for me, I'm not one who is going to unilaterally disarm our economy or our job creators in this country.
Complete video of Jon Huntsman at the Heritage Foundation, with his remarks on global warming starting at 34:51:
Watch live streaming video from heritagefoundation at livestream.comUpdate:
Jon Huntsman reiterated his belief in climate science on December 7, 2011 while responding to questions from reporters:
When you have 99 out of 100 climate scientists, there's enough there for us to say we have an established body of science.
Now it would be a very good thing to coordinate that science with the other major emitters on the globe, recognizing that it is an international problem.
I don't want to disadvantage this country during a time when we are weak economically and want to get back on our feet.

President Donald Trump traveled to Ohio Monday to tout the economy and the recently-enacted tax law – in a preview of his message against Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
Interested in Donald Trump?
Add Donald Trump as an interest to stay up to date on the latest Donald Trump news, video, and analysis from ABC News.
While the White House insisted the trip was not political – Trump at one point took aim at Democratic lawmakers who sat stone-faced during his State of the Union address last week – likening their response to treason.
"It got to a point where I really didn't even want to look too much during the speech over to that side because honestly it was bad energy. It was bad energy," he said at a manufacturing plant a Cincinnati suburb.
"You're up there, you've got half the room going totally crazy wild, they loved everything, they want to do something great for our country. And you have the other side even on positive news, really positive news like that, they were like death and un-American. Un-American."
Appearing to play off the crowd, he added: "Somebody said 'treasonous.' I mean, yeah, I guess, why not? Can we call that treason? Why not? I mean they certainly didn't seem to love our country very much."
Speaking at Sheffer Corporation in Blue Ash, Ohio, Trump also said Democratic gains in Congress would be bad for economy.
"If they ever got in and took over, your taxes would go way up. You'd see bad things happening. Wouldn't be good. That, I can tell you. Would not be good," he said.
Trump derided a frequent target of Republicans — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, saying "She's our secret weapon" for the midterms.
"Nancy Pelosi, what she's doing to this country. And she's gone so far left and Schumer has gone so far left," he said. "Oh, I look forward to running against them. We've got to do well in '18 and I know we're going to do well in '20, but I think we're going to do well in '18."
Democrats fired back at the president on Twitter:
Hey Donnie: you still haven't released your taxes (wondering what Russia has on you). Paul Ryan got destroyed for deleting his embarrassing tweet bragging about meager $1.50 while corporations get billions in windfalls. Oh and the Dow is down +1000 points. https://t.co/JMqifhcOe9
— Nancy Pelosi (@TeamPelosi) February 5, 2018
The president delivered his remarks as the Dow Jones Industrial Average nose-dived down more than 1,500 points before rebounding before the closing bell. The Dow closed at 24,345.75 – down 1,175 points.
The president made no mention of the tumbling stock market despite taking credit for its performance in the past.
"The stock market has smashed one record after another, gaining $8 trillion and more in value in just this short period of time," he said in last week's State of the Union address. "The great news for Americans, 401k, retirement, pension, and college savings accounts have gone through the roof."
In November, the president told reporters aboard Air Force One en route to Tokyo, "The reason our stock market is so successful is because of me. I've always been great with money, I've always been great with jobs, that's what I do. And I've done it well, I've done it really well, much better than people understand and they understand I've done well."
Hours before the closing bell, the White House downplayed the stock market drop, attributing to the ebb and flow of the market.
"Look, markets do fluctuate in the short term. We all know that. And they do that for number of reasons," Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah told reporters aboard Air Force One. "But the fundamentals of this economy are very strong and they're headed in the right direction — for the middle class, in particular."
Ahead of his remarks, the president toured the Sheffer plant, which manufactures cylinders and gave its 126 employees $1,000 bonuses after the Republican tax law was enacted last year.
"I love equipment, and I love workers. You have them both," he said. "We love manufacturing. Those are real jobs, not the other kind where they talk but there's nothing there."
ABC's Jordyn Phelps contributed to this report.

Ltd. in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. The165 MWe plant is among the world's largest, and is scheduled to be completed in 2019. Once online, it will combust up to 5,600 tons of municipal waste per day, approximately one-third of the waste generated by Shenzhen's 20 million inhabitants every year. Sustainable energy With continuous economic growth in China and throughout Asia, there is a growing demand for reliable, sustainable and clean renewable energy. To help meet this demand, B&W Vølund will supply equipment for a new WtE plant in Shenzhen that includes a DynaGrate® combustion grate system, hydraulics, burners and other boiler components. The Shenzhen plant's circular building is designed by Danish architects Schmidt Hammer Lassen and Gottlieb Paludan. The plant is expected to be an important showcase of the most advanced technology for environmentally friendly energy production in China. Built with sustainability in mind, it will incorporate rooftop solar panels, a visitor education center and an observation platform into its architectural design. The project is developedand implemented in partnership with our licensee Beijing China Science Runyu Environmental Technology Group Co. Ltd. Plant highlights - One of the world's largest waste treatment facilities to date - Combustion of up to 5,600 tons of municipal waste per day - Handling approximately one-third of the waste generated by Shenzhen's 20 million inhabitants every year - First plant in China to use B&W Vølund's DynaGrate technology B&W Vølund's scope of supply • 6 DynaGrate combustion grates • Boiler design • Feeding pusher • Hydraulic system • Burners and other boiler components • Construction and commissioning advisory assistance DynaGrate technology The DynaGrate systems for the plant will be produced at B&W Vølund's manufacturing facility in Esbjerg, Denmark. Once completed, each grate will be shipped to China in 16 sections and assembled onsite. Unlike other types of grates, there is no physical contact between moving grate components. This unique design limits wear and minimizes the mechanical forces internally in the grate. The mechanical design of the DynaGrate system is developed to increase plant availability and lower operation and maintenance costs. With this grate, plant operation is not interrupted by melting metals. The mechanical break-up of the waste layer on the grate results in thorough agitation and thereby superior combustion conditions resulting in some very low total organic carbon (TOC) values in the bottom ash. Shenzhen East Process Data Optimized combustion The DynaGrate modular system is delivered as one or two combustion lanes depending on the size of the plant. For this project, each combustion lane is divided into four sections, with a total capacity of 44 t/h. The inclusion of our computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-designed VoluMix™ overfire air system helps to reduce CO and TOC to a minimum in the gas phase. Minimized maintenance cost The DynaGrate is designed to reduce maintenance costs compared to classic forward- and backward- reciprocating grates, and to increase availability due to low exchange rates of grate elements. For instance, the driving mechanism is situated on the side of the grate, which prevents it from being exposed to an aggressive environment and offers easy access for maintenance. To accommodate increases in heat values from the local waste, the six Shenzhen DynaGrate combustion grates are engineered for water-cooling.

One of my favorite things to listen to while running lately is Jillian Michaels's podcasts. In it, she covers health and fitness — both physical and mental. In one of the programs I listened to recently, she discussed the topic of raising self-confident children. One of the things parents can do, according to Michaels, is to let your kids try a lot of different activities.
My parents did this for me, and I am very grateful. I tried gymnastics, ballet, acting, baton-twirling, tap dance, water polo, volleyball, painting, basketball, track and field, soccer, softball, swimming, snow and water skiing, piano, lifeguarding, horseback riding, choir, photography, school band, drill team, golf, and I even did an IronKids triathlon in 8th grade.
How to get your child to try a new hobby or sport?
With school starting, now might be a good time to see if your child is interested in trying a new sport or hobby. "Hobbies often mature into lifelong interests, even careers," according to the article Why Kids Need Hobbies on BHG.com. But how do you get them interested? Here are a few tips to help encourage your child to try something new:
Share your interests.
Be vocal about sports and hobbies you like. I like to run, and I often share my love for it with my 4-year-old son. Just this weekend, he wanted to go running at the local school's track. I put my Garmin on him and he raced me twice around the quarter-mile oval. (He won, of course.) Remember, though, don't force your interests on him or her. It's good to encourage kids to try new things (and foster those things you can tell they enjoy), but sometimes a certain hobby or sport just isn't for them right then.
Take them to a game.
An article by the Mayo Clinic suggests taking kids to a sporting event. It's hard not to get excited among fans rooting for the home team. You don't have to shell out a fortune for major league sports either. Go to the local high school game or even your friend's kid's soccer game.
Limit TV time.
Nothing sucks hours out of a day like the television. "Let's face it, it's impossible to work on a hobby and watch TV (or play video games) at the same time," states the article from BHG.com.
Let your child choose the activity.
"Kids gain confidence and a sense of self-esteem from the activities they choose themselves," says the author in the article Your Child's Talents and Hobbies published in Canadian Living. Let them pick, but be careful they don't over-book themselves. Too busy of a schedule can have a negative effect on your child's interests. And, be sure to agree on a reasonable trial period, suggests the Canadian Living article. If your child likes it, then he or she can continue; but if she doesn't, then it's okay at the end of the trial period to quit.
Encourage your child!
Trying something new is hard — even for adults. A little encouragement and support goes a long way.
What activities did you try as a child? Which ones are you still doing?

Hotels Under Pressure, Great Deals for Travelers
You can stay at the Four Seasons in San Francisco this weekend at prices starting at $325 a night. That's cheap for San Francisco, to say nothing of a famous five-star hotel at short notice.
In New York City, the weekend's best deal on a five-star Manhattan hotel room starts at $644 a night at the Benjamin, according to the website Orbitz -- believe it or not, that's a steal for luxury in the Big Apple. Further downtown, one USA Today reporter found a room for $125 a night at the Marriot Financial Center on the travel website Priceline - that's half off the 3-and-a-half-star hotel's usual rock bottom rate.
What's going on? The latest downturn has hit hotels especially hard, according to a recent story by the Associated Press. The percentage of occupied rooms has fallen 10 percent in the last year. And nearly one-in-ten hotel properties have fallen behind in their mortgage payments -- 8.7 percent of the hotel loans tracked by data firm Trepp LLC are behind in their payments, compared to just 1.5 percent a year ago.
Lenders don't wait long to seize homes from homeowners who miss payments, even when the value of the home at auction would be much less than the value of the loan. But hotels are a different story, commercial real estate experts say. That's because hotels need specialized owners to maintain the properties, so banks treat them more gently.
As a result, troubled hotels can struggle for a long time, cutting their rates to fill as many rooms as they can. Stronger hotels often have to cut their rates, too, just to stay competitive. That's tough for hotel owners - but great news for travelers.

Has Scotland done so badly out of the Union in modern times? Personally, I think dissolving the United Kingdom as a multi-national, unitary state would be a mistake. Having said that, matters such as the West Lothian Question ought to be resolved in the interests of a better Union. An English parliament might well be a step in the right direction.
But Scots have denuded themselves of their power in the popular imagination and sneaked into the lineup of the aggrieved. The Lowland political class's stroke of genius was to associate southern Scots along ethnic lines with the Highlanders and, consequently, with the Irish. Not only does it exculpate them from unfavourably received episodes of British history in which they played a pivotal role (namely empire building and the slave trade -- and of course the Clearances), it enables them actively to assume the victim status of the Celts and from that standpoint to join in the sanctimonious punishing of the English. This subversive strain in the Scottish intellectual character (that being distinct from the manipulable masses who lap up the victim brew and vote accordingly) quite justifies an analogy with a certain other group which goes beyond the economic prowess they share.
Although the romantic imagination paints the Clearances as the 'English' monarchy's reaction to Jacobitism, they were more accurately an outgrowth of the economic march of progress which brought an agricultural revolution to all Britain, and which affected the Scottish lowlands and England as well. In the Highlands, traditional croft farmers were pushed out in favour of Lowland investments in the land. Many of the brutal evictions were actually carried out by London-based Highland lairds bewitched by southern money. But I suppose people would prefer it if the persecutor in every instance looked like the Duke of Wellington and had the crofters' houses burnt down with a patrician nod of the head as he rode blithely away.
"The Lowlander has inherited the hills and the tartan is a shroud"
John Prebble, The Highland Clearances
In England, many rural English peasants were similarly persecuted by Th'inglish when their subsistence farming was squeezed out by farmers' buying up of large tracts of communal land in which to grow cash crops. Over four thousand private Acts of Parliament were passed between 1755 and 1815 enabling the enclosure of more than five million acres of English land. (This is to illustrate the scale of agricultural change throughout Britain.)
To the Rebellions. The Act of Proscription implemented after the '45 was designed to quell further insurrection and aid cultural assimilation of the Highlanders, not to decimate their communities. Indeed, claims about the banning of Gaelic and other emotive hogwash are simply not backed up anywhere in the text of the Act. Primarily, the Highlanders were disarmed and their dress forbidden. Once the Jacobite threat was well and truly put to rest, the Act was repealed; that was a mere thirty six years after it had been passed. Don't forget that there were several Stuartist uprisings financed in turns by the Spanish and the French -- which brings me to the next point. The major line of demarcation between Us and Them was exactly what it had been for centuries, indeed what had riven Stuart Britain throughout the preceding and eventually led to 1688 when James II and VII was booted out: religion.
The Highlanders were by and large Roman Catholic; most of the Lowlanders and the English were staunch Protestants. Papists, especially wild, mountain ones, were a subversive entity that had to be suppressed. This sentiment was most fervent in the Calvinistic south of Scotland, from where the moneyed class hailed. These people had no love for their northern countrymen and set about snatching up their land and all the Highlanders could do, in the end, with the compounded circumstances of unaffordable rent prices, famine, and the general poverty that comes with an overpopulated region, was take the opportunities offered them and leave for the towns and for the colonies.
There was no concerted English effort to get rid of the Highlanders, many factors went into what happened. To hold it against ordinary English people is not only incredibly stupid, but squalid too, as we are equally at the mercy of the same uncaring elite and always have been.
I voted undecided because I don't know if Scotland will end up importing more non-whites or less non-whites as a result of independence
'you're all just visiting' -the good shepherd
I personally think that Scotland should remain in the United Kingdom because i feel that Scotland benefits from being a part of of the United Kingdom.I don't think Scotland will have much to go on if they were to become independent apart from a very good educational system(from what i've heard)and maybe some oil to sell.
The SNP are also pro EU so i think it could be an ''out of the frying pan and into the fire'' situation for Scotland.
Yes, they should be independent. The Celtic Nations are a drag on the English economy and the UK to some extent holds them back.
The Celts bitch and moan about us when the most the English do is tell a few jokes or respond to Scottish propaganda.
More than what England has got. England is an entity without any government of its own, it is basically ruled as UK-lite.They are indepependant,they are a country in their own right with their own parliment.
Both nations would see gains, Scotland would be able to pursue its own economic policies.If you mean should the English be free of the tax money we pour into Scotland every year to keep them on their feet,then my answer as a taxpayer on an economic level would be yes.....go to it bonny Scotland....Ireland went bankrupt in about five years so you should do it in about six.
If the UK breaks up I think the British and Irish council should be strengthened into a co-operation organisation and we should remain close allies.Regarding them as part of the United Kingdom and ethnic brothers so to speak with close common ties i woud say that Scotland should remain with England.
I think England and Wales will probably stay together no matter what, the Welsh don't seem to want independence so long as the UK lets them govern themselves.
England should seek better relations with Northern Europe and our brothers across the North Sea in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.
Rubbish, England's economy is 90% of the UK economy. I did a post on another forum about it.Tommy, the only reason why Scotland are still under English rule is because Scotland has oil in the North Sea. The North Sea is Scottish Territory and if Scotland went independant, England wouldn't be able to touch it.
Face it. England needs Scotland to keep on it's feet, not the other way around.
I want this as a minimum. But Westminster is against it because England with a parliament would be able to challenge the authority of the UK parliament.then it is only right that England gets her own as well.
Scotland was poor as were parts of Northern England and the Darien Scheme had failed. Accept it, you needed the English Empire at the time or faced decades of a miserable economy.We did quite fine without your "help" for ages. Today's world would be no different.
Together we had an industrial revolution, charted and settled much of the world and prospered. Now the union has outlived its purpose and is holding us back in the modern world.
Why do so many people say this with so little knowledge of how the UK actually works? I think 90% of the economy Vs 8% speaks for itself.It is England that needs Scottland today, not the opposite. And they should let them go.
Scotland benefited from the English Empire (which became the British Empire) and markets, England benefited from stability and hegemony in the islands; finally rid of any French back door into England.Pre 1707 England was an economic and military powerhouse whilst Scotland was completely bankrupt after the failed attempt to colonize Panama through the Darien Scheme. If it wasn't for the union and Mel Gibson Scotland would be about as famous as Kasakhstan (well before Borat)
... I wonder who has benefited more from the union?!
Agreed.The whole entity of the UK and its predecessors were an anti-germanic and anti-european entity that served mainly plutocratic interests. Furthermore do I think that a german and an english state wouldn't have had the conflicts that the British Empire and the German Empire actually had. This is also important for the future.
No it isn't, it's because the Scottish Lowlanders who spoke Scots (a dialect of English) took political power in the country and introduced Lowland ways into Highland and Island Scotland.Also, quit with the anti-Scottish crap. Don't forget that it's because of England that Scots don't speak Gaelic anymore.
Scots made it bad for other Scots, get it right.
Bavaria is German, Scotland is Scottish, England is English. If Scotland were English you'd have a point.Would Germans want Bavaria to be independent? NO!
No, Britain is a fake entity which attempted to merge the different British identities together.Scotland is Britain's Bavaria.
'Scotland' is not an old entity and any feelings of 'anti-Englishness' have been artificially stirred up.
Don't you think the English have a right to independence too?The English people in this thread have only ever been talking about what's best for England.
It's England's business because this is a union and most of us want you to leave. We shouldn't need to ask you, there should be a referendum in England as to whether we want independence as well.The English people in this thread need to keep their noses out of Scotlands business....
No matter what the Scots say, if we want out we should leave the union.
What are you on about? Have you ever seen a map? England has always been much bigger.The historical borders, mate, were different to what they are now. Scotland used to be much larger than England, until Longshanks decided to shorten it a bit and make England bigger.
Scotland once controlled Cumberland and England Lothian, they agreed the border at the Treaty of York - England got Cumberland and Scotland got Lothian (which included the "Scottish Borders"). All of these areas were settled by Anglo-Saxons.
The only significant change was the English annexation of Berwick which some Scottish Nationalists claim was placed under English authority but never English territory.
Scotland raided much of Northern England as did England in Southern Scotland, yet we never hear the English talking about the Scottish raids here.
People built fortified houses the raiding got so bad.
Most of the oil is in Scottish waters, although a lot of it is in Shetland and Orkney waters which were nicked from Denmark (they offered to pay the dowry, Scotland refused it and kept the islands).I want scotland to be independent, because I think England should be independent (+hopefully a republic ). But I dont buy this s**t about 'scotland's oil'. Sorry but it's not scotland's oil, it belongs to the united kingdom. if oil was found off the coast of yorkshire, it wouldn't be yorkshire's oil, it would belong to the whole of the UK.
Most of the gas in the UK is in English waters - around 80% of the gas and 10% of the oil lie in English territory.
Good. We can have them at Barrow, the place is full of Nuclear power stations and people needing the work anyway.Start taking back your Nuclear weapons, citizens of England, because once Scotland go independant, we won't be wanting them.
Yeah, people always love to support the perceived underdog.I love how foreigners keep butting in with their absolute zero knowledge of the issue. It's also interesting that they always take the Scots' side too.
Scotland is hurt that England doesn't notice it, but admitting that truth would be too bitter a pill to swallow.
Well, roll on the "Scotland will end up bankrupt" crap spouted by the English Government. These next few years should be really interesting.
We'll be fine Independant. We're having talks with forming an Alliance with Norway and Sweden. If we can get it, we'll be golden.

The sad truth is any amount of tanning, indoors or out, will damage the skin and cause premature aging and possible health problems. But, we can take steps to minimize sun damage by following these Five Simple Sunscreen Rules.
1.) Look for "Full-Spectrum" or "Broad Spectrum" Sunscreen Protection. This is extremely important as you need to protect yourself from the sun's two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays known as UVA and UVB wavelengths. UVA is the long-wavelength that penetrates to the deepest layers of the skin and causes skin damage such as wrinkles and dark spots, over time. It also causes melanoma. UVB is shorter wavelengths of light that penetrate to the surface of the skin and is the cause of sunburn. Sunburn doesn't just feel awful but it can cause permanent skin damage overtime. These two forms of light are not dependent on air temperature or if the sun is shining. You can get sunburn in the snow or on a cloudy day, if you're not properly protected.
2.) Look for an SPF of 15 to 50. The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) will tell you how well the sunscreen blocks UVB rays and for approximately how long. Experts agree that you need a minimum of SPF 15 but no more than 50 for protection. An SPF higher than 50 only provides a minimum more of protection and may not be worth the added cost. The ideal seems to be an SPF of 30. But, as always, it depends on your skin type.
3.) Apply Sunscreen Liberally and Frequently.
20 minutes before before going outside into the sun, disrobe and apply your sunscreen all over your body. Don't forget your ears, the back of your neck, underarms and top of your feet. Use lots of sunscreen. Don't skimp! Apply using a circular motion so you won't miss any spots. Contrary to what you may have heard, about 2 ounces or a shot glass full, is only enough for your face, neck and the back of your hands. So, slather it on! Finally, apply a lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher.
4.) Reapply! Reapply! Reapply! When you're out in the sun anytime of the year, you need to reapply your sunscreen at least every 90 minutes or less. If you go in the water or are perspiring, reapply sooner. Use a water-resistant sunscreen in these cases but remember you still have to reapply often. They are not waterproof, only resistant. Reapply your lip balm often, too.
5.) Limit Sun Exposure. Seek shade. Wear a hat, sunglasses, long sleeves and long pants. Avoid sun exposure between 10 am and 4 pm. And, remember, to protect yourself while driving. UVA rays penetrate glass and will burn.
If you follow these Five Simple Sunscreen Rules, you'll really help your skin stay healthy and younger looking longer.

That blue haze in the Valley,
Does not mean the forest is on fire.
It's just harvest time in the old pot patch,
and the smoke is rising higher.
Than the crowd at a lawyer's picnic,
Or a Federal Judge's Bar-B-Que.
The Wheels of justice are oiled with cash,
to keep things flowing through.
Some blame all them nasty bikers,
and draft dodgers from the sixties,
For creating a criminal conglomerate,
with them old dope-smoking hippies.
Jail terms are rare, and what's little fine,
against a million bucks or more?
The scales of justice, have been relaced,
with a big revolving door!

The role of finance in economic growth in SADC has been downplayed in most literature and policy initiatives given that financial sectors of SADC countries are regarded as less developed with the exception of South Africa. This notwithstanding, the role of finance in development of the region is gradually regaining importance amid a gradual shift from wholesale to retail finance in support of development of SMEs. Furthermore, there has been substantial progress over the past two decades in terms of financial inclusion, financial innovation, and cross-border banking in Africa's banking systems. In SADC, innovation in financial services has driven efficient financial transfers and increases the volume of trade. Most SADC countries introduced financial reforms in the 80s and 90s to facilitate development of the financial sectors, and studies acknowledge the role of financial reforms in enhancing financial development and growth in SADC countries. Southern Africa region has been registering significant growth rates in the last decade with growth being more widespread across countries, including non-resource-rich countries. The increasing role of finance in economic activity in the region justifies the need to look on the finance –growth nexus in SADC.
Policy Briefs
The study bridges a knowledge gap regarding the relationship between financial innovation and economic growth in SADC. The study also carries out panel Granger causality tests to evaluate empirically the direction of causality between financial innovation and economic growth in SADC. Financial innovation has, generated increased economic activity in the SADC region over the years, mainly faster and more efficient financial transfers, increasing the volume of trade and remittances, and increases access to finance for the unbanked populace. SADC countries such as Lesotho, Swaziland and Tanzania have higher mobile phone usage for payments and transactions than the financially developed countries in the region, despite the underdeveloped financial sectors.
The construction industry is one of the major drivers of economic development globally; it is a key barometer of the health of an economy because of its strong linkage to output fluctuations. A well-functioning construction sector results in good infrastructure, upon which many business activities in an economy hinges. It is obvious that the sector has been at the epicenter of growth in most modern nation states over the last few decades. Evidence from most advanced economies suggest that the industry's contribution to growth becomes trivial, particularly at the point where the infrastructure space becomes saturated. Evidence also suggests that the industry's success and its eventual contribution to economic growth could be occluded by several critical factors, such as the presence of good institutions. While this may hold for both advanced and emerging market economies, the industry's role, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, has been more anecdotal rather than based on empirical evidence; the extant literature is almost entirely bereft of evidence from the sub-region. Among the known factors that stymy the effectiveness of the industry's contribution to the growth spurt of developing nations is poor cost and sub-standard work quality, lack of access to credit facilities, availability of required skills, and bureaucratic as well as institutional deficit. This background naturally leads to the following questions: to what extent does the industry contribute to economic growth in the sub-region? what fundamental roles do the existing institutional frameworks play in enhancing the industry's impact on economic growth? is the industry's impact on growth homogenous across the sub region and has it become trivial? This study sets out to find answers to these fundamental questions. It provides a comparative analysis of the relationship between the construction sector and aggregate output for a panel of 26 sub-Saharan African countries.
The debate about the influence of financial market development on economic growth has been ongoing for more than a century. Since Schumpeter (1912) wrote about the happenings on Lombard Street, right up to the economists of today, there is growing interest into how financial market development affects economic activity and hence economic growth. Financial market development is always expected after financial sector reforms. In their study, King and Levine (1993a; 1993b) demonstrated that financial-sector reforms in five developing countries that had experienced financial-sector reforms were widely associated with increases in their measures of financial development. Lynch (1996) noted that "As initial liberalisation leads to positive real interest rates, only projects with positive real returns are undertaken. Positive real interest rates stimulate greater financial saving, significantly increasing monetisation of the economy, and financial intermediation." Financial sector reforms will result in positive movements in the measures of financial development.
In terms of global warming, coal is the worst offender, as it is a dirty energy source. There are various damaging environmental impacts associated with coal during its mining, transportation, combustion and disposal. Our focus is on the impact that is associated with combustion. Air pollution from coal-fired power stations includes carbon dioxide emissions, which are cited as the primary cause of global warming.
Education (both school enrolment and achievement) is low in much of the developing world. Hence, over the past two decades, increasing education levels in these countries, particularly sub-Saharan Africa countries, has been of paramount importance. In order to achieve this goal, effective policy will depend on a better understanding of the nature of schooling decisions in these countries.
In this paper, we investigate the theoretical linkage between various socioeconomic indicators and fertility declines in 48 sub-Saharan African countries between 1970 and 2012. We test the various theories put forward in literature as contributing to fertility declines in industrialised economies in order to identify the determinants which have contributed to the fertility transition in sub-Saharan Africa. We complement this empirical exercise by also investigating the effective channel through which technology has contributed to declining fertility rates. For example, literature cites that one of the main catalysts for raising demand in education or sustaining rising incomes per capita is industrialisation which comes with technological progress, and this increased development in education and income induces declines in fertility rates (Galor 2005, Galor & Weil 2000). By conducting this empirical analysis we are able to place sub-Saharan Africa within a particular theoretical framework and developmental stage.
Industrialization is expected to maximize the efficiency of human capital by putting the 'right man' in the 'right place'. We test this assertion by measuring white social mobility during South Africa's industrial take-off. For much of the nineteenth century, the territories that made up South Africa were largely agricultural. Cape Town and to a lesser extent Port Elizabeth were the only manufacturing centers. This changed with the discovery of diamonds in 1867 and twenty years later with the discovery of gold in the South African interior, shifting the locale of economic power from the south-eastern coast to the northern interior. We want to know more about who benefited from the shift in economic prosperity. We know that the mineral revolution resulted in ethnic inequalities – we can see this for example in the improvement and then spectacular decline of the Basotho economy. Whites, who held the political power in the four states that would in 1910 become the Union of South Africa, clearly benefited most from the diamond and gold boom. We know about the opulence of the Randlords and we have rich social histories of individuals and cultural groups, but we do not really know who the main economic beneficiaries of South Africa's mineral revolution and consequent industrial take-off were.
The role of finance in economic growth in SADC has been downplayed in most literature and policy initiatives given that financial sectors of SADC countries are regarded as less developed with the exception of South Africa.

This study examines the relationship between foreign aid and foreign direct investment (FDI) in 31 sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries between 1995 and 2012. Significant resource constraints have meant increased reliance on external sources of funding such as foreign direct investment and foreign aid (ODA) for many sub-Saharan African countries. FDI is considered to be a more stable financial flow compared to foreign aid, and the means of attracting increased FDI flows to the region remain a topical issue in development studies.
Sometimes countries adopt new currencies which are not their own as a medium of exchange. The reasons for this vary but often this is as a response to a macroeconomic crisis. In January 2009, Zimbabwe adopted a new currency after experiencing a decade of hyperinflation and economic crisis. The change in currency had positive effects for inflation – Zimbabwean inflation dropped to -3.4 percent two months after the change, but came with other challenges. The most obvious is a loss of monetary policy control. A less obvious one has to do with the stickiness of prices. In most cases the adopted currency is 'strong' in value but less fine in terms of denominations (the face value of the currency). The 'coarseness' of the new currency denominations means that prices are likely to be more sticky as retailers have limited scope to change prices as a response to smallish economic shocks, especially for lower priced products. This matters because it introduces another source of rigidity into the economy and may have distributional effects if it impacts certain groups of consumers more than others (for example the poor who may disproportionally buy goods with low face-values). This type of challenge has been overlooked in the literature.
The rapid and sustained loss in value of the Zimbabwean dollar, which began in the last quarter of 1997, led to its rejection as a medium of exchange during the second half of 2008, as inflation soared. Zimbabwe slid into hyperinflation in March 2007, with the annual inflation rate reaching a record 200 million per cent in July 2008.
In the face of South Africa's growing water scarcity, water conservation and the effective management of water use should be priority focus areas of water policy in the country. There exists an urgent need to introduce market based incentives to optimise the allocation of scarce water resources between competing uses. These economic incentives should target water- stressed areas with the objective of encouraging a shift of water use from economic activities with low water efficiency values to activities with high water efficiency values.
The financial and real sectors of the economy are inextricably linked; with strong evidence to suggest that there are spillover effects from the stock market to the real economy, with the stock market usually leading the real sector. As such, substantial stock market downturns can negatively impact output. This is of particular concern in an emerging country such as South Africa where maintaining and supporting growth in gross domestic product is critical for the continued development of the country and the allied lowering of poverty levels. Accordingly, for policy makers the ability to forecast market downturns accurately enables them to implement appropriate policies to limit the effects of these stock market downturns on the real economy. Current measures used to forecast share returns such as the Treasury bill yield and dividend-price ratio have limited success in this regard.
Tobacco consumption is hazardous at all levels. In South Africa, cigarette smoking is a major health problem accounting for thousands of premature deaths each year, including those that are exposed to second hand smoke. In recognition of these consequences, tobacco consumption, particularly cigarette smoking has received a significant amount of attention since the democratic transition in 1994. With the policy change, there has been a significant decline in tobacco consumption in the last two decades. A policy that targets increases the minimum age below which individuals cannot purchase cigarettes, since majority of smokers initiates smoking at a very young age (below 24 years), an age group characterised by high degree of peer influence. Empirically motivated research on tobacco consumption in South Africa have shown a close adherence to determining the effect of tobacco excise taxes on individual smoking behaviour, ignoring the effects of peer network (indirect effects of the policies).

This course provided me with a lot of direction for some data I'm trying to understand at work. It also made me aware of some important considerations I need to make and structure I should follow when looking at the data, so that my results will be more meaningful. I honestly thought the last section about presentation wouldn't be useful at all, but even that section provided some important insight that I hadn't previously considered, and made me feel excited about eventually presenting the results of my data analysis to my organization.
