The men's razor business has been a battle among giants for the last century. Since the 70s in particular, brands like BIC, Gillette, and Schick have cleverly competed for market share using elaborate marketing campaigns.
When the first completely disposable razor was introduced by BIC, competition flared and forced competing brands to get real creative. Over the last few decades new razors with new gimmicks were introduced every few years. New aloe strips, more razor blades, and shaving cream with moisturizer have given consumers more options of the same thing. Call it trickery, call it clever marketing, call it whatever you like – safety razors cost between 5 and 12 cents to make – approximately 5000% less than what they are sold for.
So why should consumers root for Dollar Shave Club? Because they are a David standing before Goliath – and if there's a lesson to be learned from them, it is this: no giant is too big to fall, provided you are armed with the right tools.
A Little Fish In A Big Pond
Gillette, now owned by Proctor and Gamble (P&G), leads the razor pack with the most market penetration, highest price per pack, and the most spent on marketing and endorsements. Since the 90s, Gillette has introduced an intriguing line of safety razors, each emphasising an innovative and in some cases blatantly useless feature.
The continuous addition of these new features have even become somewhat of a pop culture running joke. It started in the early 90s when Gillette launched its double-bladed Gillette Sensor with spring loaded blades. Gillette claimed the blades receded in and out, allowing the razors to smoothly glide along the contours of a man's face. By the late 90s, a third blade, microfins, and a pivoting head were introduced under Gillette's new line, Mach3.
Although Schick and BIC also make razor blades, over the last three decades, they've succumbed to being followers and simply counter Gillette's new releases with similar products and features. Following the Mach3 was Gillette's latest razor craze, titled "Fusion Power." This motorized razor blade uses micropulses and a fifth blade to allow for a smoother shave.
The claims of the benefits of these product features have been criticized by competitors like Schick, but that has not stopped Gillette from making more outrageous statements, introducing new features, and pricing their product approximately 20% higher than the competition.
Despite the high price, Gillette's market share still represents 80% and annual sales in blade replacement averages approximately $1 billion.
The Dollar Shave Club, a tiny company in this game of razors, is taking aim at giants like Gillette by offering what Gillette cannot – convenience, affordability, and a start-up flare that people can't help but root for.
Dollar Shave Club offers customers a mail-order blade replacement subscription for as little as a couple of bucks per month, including shipping. The website is easy and likeable. In less than a minute, customers can sign up and start receiving their new blades, along with other cool men's products, on a monthly basis.
The convenience of placing orders online and a steady flow of affordable blades right to a customer's door make Dollar Shave Club a very competitive choice against the Goliaths of the razor world. The company, with the help of venture funding, has been using social media and marketing so effectively that it is gaining significant traction. With no high priced mega star endorsements or big time ads, Dollar Shave Club is doing it the grassroots way – hysterical online videos and quirky product names.
How Anyone Can Start The Next Dollar Shave Club
Dollar Shave Club might not want to be an underdog in this tale, but regardless of its wants, it cannot deny the truth – it's still a small fry in the razor industry. Still, the way it conducts business has a lot to teach business owners.
Market penetration like Gillette's is outright scary for new entrepreneurs under most circumstances. When young entrepreneurs look to make a name for themselves out in the market, the first mistake they make is to try and develop an entirely new product. This desire for product exclusivity is misleading. When you build something completely new, you need to convince people they need it. When you build something that's better than the guy next door, you just need to convince his customers that yours is better.
There are many variables at play when trying to be successful, and most of the time, developing a completely new innovative product, like a new app, isn't necessarily one of them. Sometimes, being successful is about taking a chance at taking down the Goliath, even if the Goliath is 80% bigger than you. This is what makes Dollar Shave Club's tale inspiring. It is innovative in its method and delivery, but its product is simpler, plainer, and might even be inferior (not likely, but possible).
In business, the risk involved in going after a giant is far lower than the risk of avoiding that same risk. Giants will keep trolling along, dragging their knuckles on the ground, leaving traces of themselves and opportunities that keen young opportunistic upstarts can seize. When something already exists, the tendency for new entrepreneurs is to move on, but it can be that very thinking that causes them to miss opportunities. Let the giants like Gillette lead the way, and then when the sling and aim are ready, take a shot - it's the only way to ever really know if an idea will make it.

New and overwhelmed in VA
Hello from Virginia. I'm brand new to the idea of homeschooling. My 12 year old daughter is in 7th grade and is really miserable at her middle school. She is a good student, but is suffering with anxiety due to the environment at her school. I'm here for insight and help. I think I want to go with an all inclusive curriculum to start. Any help and encouragement is greatly appreciated.
Welcome and hugs!
Im sorry to hear your DD is miserable. Getting her out of the toxic environment shes finding herself in is important! (And a good life lesson that she is never trapped in a situation, even if it means going against the current.)
I know the first reflex may be to immerse her in a full academic homeschooling school-at-home type of thing, but you will all be happier (and more successful) if you take it a little bit slower. You can rationalize to yourself that you can always make up time you waste now, next summer. She will forget neither her multiplication tables nor that George Washington was our first president if you take some time to let her anxiety settle.
(As a note, all-in-one curriculums are notoriously expensive AND bad, they prey on refugee homeschoolers like you.)
Visit museums, let her work on a hobby if she has one. Teach her how to tend the house. The first period of refugee-ing is generally called deschooling, but I think should be framed more productively. Its not letting your kid veg out on youtube and video games all day. Its engaging with her to rebuild her confidence, and give you both opportunities to bond and figure out how youre going to interact as a homeschooling unit. (At her age, its closer to mentor than teacher.)
I suggest you start brainstorming with her how she would like to approach her favorite subject. Does she love using textbooks? Prefer reading novels? Is she a hands-on kind of person? Does she learn best by watching documentaries and youtube videos?
When you have a plan for the one subject, try it out for a couple weeks, and reassess. Is it miserable for either one of you? Adjust as needed. You both have a lot to learn! If its going well, add another subject in.
Finding and pacing curriculum isnt that difficult. Most of it is broken into sections, you can do one (or more) sections per session.
Farrar Williams wrote a book for homeschooling this age - I havent read it but shes always given sensible, practical advice. Ooooh, and I think she lives nearby you!
Investing in a book about homeschooling is probably a better idea than rushing out to buy curriculum at this point.
Ask specific questions you have. If youre looking for curriculum advice, tell us more about your daughter and her preferences.Homeschooling DS13, DS6.
My spelling was fine, then my brain left me.

June was a torrential month. We had people running for the escape shutes just on the likelihood of QE being tapered down in the near future. In reality, its just the usual holiday season for most finance industry people ... as usual when there are not much going on, it takes little to move things down. Then the whole world searched high and low for reasons to explain that phenomenon. Many times, its just profit taking. Because seriously, look how easy it was for markets to return to some normalcy? You tell me that what started the rout in inescapable fear and loathing, suddenly reversed course.
Emerging markets stocks and bonds took the brunt of the hit. Remember this trend, when the markets crash due to the finality of the debasement of major currencies, this is what will happen, magnified 5-10 times at least. Just look down the asset classes, every single one except cash is down. Remember this ....
The funny thing was that gold even went down. Of course in a real major correction based on the debasement of major currencies, the developed marlets bonds will TANK in a big way, followed by their stock markets as people pull funds away. They will also pull funds away from emerging markets stocks and bonds. Emerging markets bonds will be the most vulnerable - because they attracted the most inflow over the past 5 years as funds seek out better yields with "better currencies". The debasement of major currencies (USD, Euro and yen) is nothing new, there are a lot of believers, just that we do not know exactly when it will happen.
But why, what is the justification that the debasement crisis will end in tears? There is debasement just by looking at the amount of money printed by most central banks over the last 5 years alone. Technically, in the US alone, they might need only 1/10th of the amount of money running in the system. OK, that might seem scary already. Even if you try to take back half of that, you know there will be dislocation, no matter how well planned. Pumping in is fun, just like alcohol consumption in a party. The way out never is.
Two, the QE funds are largely not flowing through the real economy. Big and small banks, but mainly big banks, are benefiting enormously by taking these funds at zero and getting their 0.2%-0.4% margins leaving that in the interbank. Is it any wonder that even behemoths like Bank of America and Citigroup are making billions again - its not from lending, its not from trading, its not really from investment banking.
Already the real economy is not getting the credit they need to jump start. They can see the low rates but they cannot borrow realistically. Those who do borrow are using it for unproductive ways again, e.g. flipping houses, or carry trades. These inflate certain asset classes (stocks and REITs mainly) but doe not provide the multiplier effect down the entire economy.
When central banks sells bonds again (to soak up liquidity), the big guys holding the cash will demand for much higher interest rates = you go from zero to 3% and then 6% quite fast. Sharply higher rates will pummel all stocks and the chain reaction goes around. Only this time, the severity is pronounced because its not a one off event, investors can see the amount of liquidity to be called back. Even if central banks stopped the soaking up process midway, the confidence is gone. Confidence is one of the greatest asset in valuing assets.
If QE did what it was supposed to do ... lend to businesses and people who need them, you would have seen a great multiplier effect of more money moving around, improved business velocity ... which would then enable the economy to better weather the turning off of QE or soaking up of liquidity later on.
The strange thing is that you cannot just sell one currency and thats the end of it, it has to be converted into another currency. But as you can see from the last two paras, everything will collapse in a debasement correction as currencies of all sorts will collapse.
HKD will be under some strange pressure when USD falls by 20% in a week. It might finally prompt a reweighting of the HKD to a basket of currencies. The emerging markets will be very busy defending their currency, not because they are not stronger than the developed currencies but because their bonds have attracted so much foreign money that the moment they all decide to exit the bonds, it literally means that yields may double from 4%-6% to 10%-18% overnight as the ringgit, rupiah, baht will be sold down tremendously as funds repatriate. This will cause an even bigger collapse in emerging markets stocks even though they may be fundamentally superior to developed markets' stocks.
The strange part which i mentioned was that last month sell down did not see gold prices rise as that should be seen as the best alternative if you do not want to hold currencies.
This piece of advice will be worth millions to the right person. In a debasement of major currencies correction, almost nothing is worth buying. Except hard assets, but not just any hard assets, if USD is tanking then holding a USD property does not help. Pick the right country that can ride out the storm and come out stronger and your net wealth intact.
Buy UK properties, buy Singapore properties, buy large tracts of farmland or idle land in Malaysia, Australia, NZ, buy gold certificates. Looks like many Malaysians already have a great read on the upcoming disaster, many have been ploughing headstrong into UK and SG properties. However, me thing the total exposure to all the hard assets above should be between 30%-60% of your total assets. Get closer to 60% when the storm is near. Currently it is not.
So, when will this happen? I think come next May-September, plenty of time still. There is still the possibility that this event can be further delayed: if QE stops and the markets rumbled but steadies ... however, the central banks DO NOT sell bonds i.e. no soaking up of liquidity .... then its like postponing the inevitable. It will come, if you do not soak up the liquidity the markets will correct the realignment for you. They will just lose confidence in developed markets bonds, then developed markets stocks, then assets of most things, just like you saw from the figures in the month of June 2013 only multiplied.
Once that train starts, you can see a few months of high anxiety. Bernanke should be so glad to get out of his position so that he does not need to go through that.

I tend to attend a bit more than 4 conferences per year, because there are a number of conferences that I don't like skipping - but my conference travel schedule tends to be packed and exhausting. And as a new mom, it's time to reconsider and evaluate where my priorities lie.
Over the past years, I've attended these conferences:
- ACI Conventions: twice per year, always in North America - and I don't like to skip these because I serve on committees that meet at these conventions.
- TRB Annual meeting: every January, in DC - which I don't like to skip because of the committee meetings
- IABSE - holds symposium once per year and a conference once per year. I attend every now and then.
- IABMAS - holds a conference every other year, which I try to attend every time.
- IALCCE - holds a conference every other year, which I try to attend.
- fib - holds a symposium every year, which I try to attend.
- ESREL - Safety and reliability are not my main research topics, so I've been sending in papers only a few times.
- ICCRRR - these conferences are only every 3 years.
- Euro-C - only once every 4 years, and usually my co-author/colleague goes there
- ASCE Structures Congress - once a year in the USA, but I've only gone once
- Stuctural Faults and Repair - every other year. I've gone once; the other years their dates coincided with IABMAS.

Olwen Turns is Cloverleaf's Certified Behaviourist and Trainer with INTODogs and ICAN.
While growing up we always had a family dog and they had always been a rescue of sorts, finding their way into our family. Shandy, our terrier x-breed died on Christmas Day 1994.
The following August I visited National Canine Defence League (now Dog's Trust) looking for the first dog I would own as an adult. It was there I started on what has become a long journey leading to my current career.
Cam came with problems, at around 6 months old he'd been found wandering the streets and had a leg problem. He'd had no training, didn't know sit, how to walk on the lead or any of the things a dog needs to know to live in a family. He was scared of everything.
Most of all he had a big problem with men; aggressive behaviour was his way of keeping those he didn't know at bay. But underneath he was terrified. I'd gown up in the Woodhouse era, choke chains and rolled up paper were the only ways I knew. But when you have a dog that screams in fear then runs and hides when you pick either of these up you need to look at alternatives. Force Free training was in its infancy and the local dog warden was offering training using reward based training; she was studying and working with Robin Walker, John Fisher and Peter Neville. This is how I discovered science based training.
I was able to book on straight away and joined in the new wave of training using ground breaking teaching for both dogs and their owners. By the end of the 7 week course the training bug had bitten.
I have been running my own dog training club for around 10 years now and every course I still get at least one person who says their dog doesn't know who's the boss.
As a business and personally I want to reach out and let people know that there are better ways to train dogs than the traditional "master/dominance" training which will make it easier for people to live with dogs and for dogs to live with people in our ever changing world where our expectations of dogs has risen to an impossible level. For instance, when I was young if you were bitten by a dog you were told off for upsetting the dog to the point it bit you; now the dog is expected to put up with all kinds of mistreatment without so much as a lip curl.
As a trainer I think that my strongest attribute lies in being able to look at things from the dog's point of view and enabling the owners to understand why their dog may be behaving in a certain way that is not compatible with what they require from the dog and how to change the dog's, and their own, behaviour to make life harmonious for the family.
I am expanding my "empowering" services with dogs that find the grooming environment to be challenging and to building the behaviour and training side of the business.
Grooming Problems
Has your dog been banned from every groomer in the area? Do you have to have your dog sedated and groomed at a vets?
Is your dog just terrified at the thought of going in the bath?
Ask about a specialist, personalised grooming plan
Behaviour Issues
Do you need help with a specific behaviour problem? Does your dog think that the sofa is a chew toy? Is he messing in the house? Are you scared to go out in case you come home to a catastrophic mess or the neighbours complaining about the barking?
These behaviour issues and more can be changed with positive reinforcement
Agressive Behaviour
Is your dog biting and fighting? Do people cross the road when they see you coming? Do you have to walk in the middle of the night to avoid other dogs?
Is your dog growling and biting people? Are you scared of your own pet?
Together we can help your troubled dog.
General Training
Can't make training classes? Need a hand with loose lead walking? Is your dog not coming back when called?
Do you have a new dog that needs a bit of help?
You need the help and support of a personal trainer for some practical one to one training.

About Frederick's Ice Cream Limited
Manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing Italian style ice cream in Chorley, Heath Charnock and Wigan.
We have an incredible family history. A story which has been the subject of many a school show-and-tell projects over the years! We'll spare you the long story but the highlights start in 1896 when our Great-Grandfather left his small home town of Setterone (high in the Appennini Mountains in North West Italy) with his two brothers, who all walked to England to find work and a better life.
They originally settled in St Helens and started manufacturing real Italian ice cream. People loved it and the business grew. They enjoyed their success and the brothers started their own families.
In 1936, our Grandfather married his sweetheart, an Italian ice cream girl herself. Originally from the beautiful town of Vigiolo in Liguria, Italy, our Grandmother's family, the Massas, had been making ice cream in Chorley, Lancashire since 1892.
As a generous wedding gift, our Grandparents were given their very own ice cream shop and factory – and from here we still make all our delicious ice cream today!
Now our parents are in charge, assisted by us, their children, making us the fourth generation of this very successful family!
Quality and luxury are our guiding principles. This drives our every decision. We continually look for new and innovative products and production methods, keeping us ahead of the game.
We manufacture the best quality luxury ice cream on the market. Our wholesale customers love our quick responses to requests for new flavours. And now with four high-spec Italian ice cream parlours, we retail our delicious products direct to customers.
We are Yell.com's NW Family Business of the Year and have won so many product quality awards at the National Ice Cream Alliance's annual competitions that we've run out of space in the offices to display them all! We have been National Champions and have countless industry diplomas for our ice cream.
Frederick's Ice Cream supports local, community-based sporting activities. Each year we share our Community Charity Fund amongst local groups needing investment for sporting-related activities and equipment. So from skipping ropes to football pitches, we may be able to help!

Maybe some of us want drilling in ANWR
I have no problem with drilling in ANWR. As an American citizen, I want the government to sell oil leases to expand our domestic oil production and make money for the treasury and provide employment. I want to find a petition to support the drilling!!
why I'm for it and against it both
a) I'm against it because:
There is a high potential to cause environmental damage there that is irreversible.
There is the likelihood the government and people will benefit very little, and private interest will benefit to a limited set of individuals at the top.
b) I'm for it because:
If the World Wildlife Federation supports it, they can kiss my huge white butt...cause they sued the World Wrestling Federation over a damn abbreviation...the tree-hugging hippie bastards. Save the world...kill a human...preferably the stupid or annoying ones.
Having a rough day?
Get up on the wrong side of the bed?
See too many stupid, annoying people today?
As for a). don't forget this creates jobs for working class people. Save the world, by not making new jobs?
hmmm...new jobs
well...production of alternative fuel units would make jobs too, but you don't see the execs at BP and Texaco chasing that down to keep people employed.
The number of jobs it would create would be insignificant and pose a real and imminent threat to the environment in the area.
Just look at what happened in the 70s with all the wildcatting in Oklahoma and Texas. There was practically a spill every year on the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, it made jobs for a couple thousand oil workers. But, how many shop owners, waitresses, barbers, bartenders and stuff did it put out of work for months due to lack of tourist trade in Padre, Galveston and all along the Texas coast while there was 1-4 inches of crude on the beaches???
Ya gotta look past the immediate fiscal benefit to what happens if a probable scenario (like an oil spill) occurs. Guaranteed once they approved it, the Bush administration would let oil companies move in there without a fully comprehensive analysis and plan. Those are, after all, his old running buddies.
b) WWF
I was thinking the same thing when I read that the petition was at a WWF site. I'm really pissed at them over taking the World Wrestling Federation's right to use WWF as a trademark. It's not like anyone would mistake wrestling for wildlife. Duh.
But I don't agree with the part about "..the tree-hugging hippie bastards". The tree hugging is a separate issue. Frankly I don't understand why people think that "tree hugging" is a bad thing. A thinking person would have to understand that if we develop every square inch of land then we will run out of oxygen and water. The wildlife is part of the big machine that we need to stay alive. If you don't care about whether caribou habitat is destroyed then you should at least care about whether human habitat is destroyed; and the caribou are part of that human habitat.
I was being facetious. "That's a bunch tree-hugging hippie crap!" is an Eric Cartman line...I was just doing my best Cartman.
I agree on the WWF thing...plus, more people knew WWF as the wrestling than the wildlife organization. But, I think they won the trademark because they had been using it in ads and stuff longer and based their case on that.
Personally, I think a bunch of those wrestlers should go let a bunch of raccoons loose on those wildlife guy's houses and take pictures of them killing those poor creatures.
Ya know they would...just like PETA people will put animals down in shelters although killing the animal and then using part of it is a crime to them.
oh well...another bit of humour I attempted that failed...life goes on
But isn't that how copyright is derived?
If one company has been using a logo, company name, motto etc. in a specific area and someone else tries to use it, they are infringing on another persons trade.
I had a band I was marketing in Sweden about 8 years ago, they had been sellni gCD's all over Europe for several years and then another SWEDISH based band started using a similar logo. The case was INSTANTLY thrown out because the band I represented had been marketing with that logo for several years.
First come first serve.
So if WWF is a WORLD organization, they have a right to fight any other globally marketed company that uses the same name, logo etc.
There are some loppholes though. If my band had been marketed in Germany, UK and NOT being sold in Sweden, then the Swedish band could have legally used that logo BUT would have been unable to do so in Germany and teh UK. THat's why global distribution is VERY important in music, it's a fight to be first on the shelf, even if with a half a**ed, two song demo, once the name is marketed it is theirs.
Aye laddie
jck: "oh well...another bit of humour I attempted that failed...life goes on"
me: I've had the same thing happen on a regular basis. We're not going to make our fortunes in comedy. As you say, life goes on. :-)
I have to agree
I would rather see North American citizens getting the jobs to make the sites and run the drills than someone in the Middle East.
Bring jobs and revenue here.
the problem is
they will just move a crew and rig from where it's no longer needed, not hire anyone.
so it's not a possible new jobs thing.
it's a probable no new jobs.
about the only guarantee is environmental damage.
( did you know that most rig workers in the middle east are either american or canadian? and they don't pay taxes anywhere for that work )

I've discovered recently that I am quite an unsatisfied customer. With a lot of things.
So many stores promise to solve all your problems with a new washing machine or refrigerator. Well, maybe not that far, but you get the idea. I've found that my student loans are rather unsatisfying. My education, though well rounded, left some things to be desired. My job leaves a lot to be desired. My car leaves some things to be desired. My dogs, my defective cat, my laptop, my DVD collection, don't even get me started on my library.
So what the heck is the deal?
I had a great year last year; I graduated from college, I got married, I have a full time job, I moved to a big city, I rent a house in a semi-sketchy neighborhood (it's not that bad, but there's a reason we don't walk the dogs after 8pm)
So what the heck is the deal?
I think I'm in the same boat as a lot of 20-somethings. We went to college, we graduated. So, um, now what? We live in a world where our lives are no longer dictated by our passions, but rather by what pays the bills. Your passions? Oh, be a good girl and put those on the back burner, oh, and file this paperwork will you? We were encouraged by our teachers and professors to go after what we wanted. Because we are the generation to do it. But what happens when you kick those kids out the front door of college and on to the busy street of this so called life? What do we do then? Well for one, we have 2 months to get our act together and get a job before student loan payments kick in. A job that if you were a liberal arts student like myself, is a bit far from what you saw yourself doing in college.
I'm not ashamed to say that I have a bachelors in English. Even when I tell people and they look at me like I was dropped on my head as a child. I would have NEVER picked another degree (except theater).
Why didn't I pick a more "marketable" degree? Because that's not how my brain works. I don't know what about that is so hard for people to understand. My brain doesn't do numbers, it does words. It doesn't like stocks, stats, or anything like that. It likes words that fit together. Strange words like conundrum, and archipelago. I love books. I love characters. If I've met you, I've probably written you into a story somewhere. If you've spent more than three seconds with me you know that I'm in love with Science Fiction, that I believe Joss Whedon can do no wrong. I'm a nerd. I'm a dork. I'm a thespian. I'm a writer.
So what does a 20-something with no real direction do? At this point, we cant not work, we have bills. not all of us can pack up and move to New York or California to try and "make it big". Do I start a non-profit and save the planet? Do I write a book that changes the way we look at literature? Write a screenplay that challenges film-making? Have a baby? Mow my lawn? The world is so loud.
There's a conflict in Syria that I don't understand, there are homeless dogs roaming Detroit with no place to go, there are homeless people roaming Detroit with no place to go. What's a 20-something to do?
Gertrude Stein once told Ernest Hemingway "You are all a lost generation". Is there a point when we 'find' ourselves? Hemingway and Fitzgerald wrote books that changed the way we saw the Flapper generation. Are the 20-somethings the hipster generation? The potheads? The Apple generation? The twerking generation? (Dear God I hope not.) But are we so different from the "Lost Generation"? We party, we drink, we smoke, we're promiscuous. Are we just a repetition of a past generation? An echo of an ideal smothered on by our elders?
I guess I would more or less call us a generation of narcissists. We're obsessed with our image. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, has made us connected, in a disconnected way. We have social interactions without leaving our living rooms. I could spend the whole day on the couch in my pajamas and talk to most of the people I know via facebook. I can take classes, I can earn a degree without ever leaving my house. I can instagram my imperfect life and parade it around like it means something to the internet.
Its not all bad. Our ways have also made us privy to different parts of the world. To see different cultures through the eyes of our friends. To see what politicians, celebrities, and other minds of the world are thinking through the power of twitter.
Our connectivity has made us obsessive. Going to the movies? Make sure you check in at the movie theater. Going for a run? Make sure you log that baby on MapMyRun so everyone knows how awesome you are (Guilty). Out for a bite? You better instagram your food before you eat it. We are the 20-somethings of America and we want you to know what we're doing.
I don't have any answers, only frustration.
I must have missed the day in college when everyone decided what to do with the rest of their lives.
Brown dog couldn't give a crap what I'm doing. Just take him for a friggin walk already.

In his last set piece occasion of the campaign, at Canberra's National Press Club, Tony Abbott returned to the issue that, more than any other, started him on the road to the victory the Coalition expects to clinch on Saturday.
It was the carbon tax that landed Abbott, to the surprise of colleagues and even himself, in the leadership, after Joe Hockey, a supporter of Malcolm Turnbull's emissions trading scheme, would not do the U-turn his party wanted.
Then Abbott seized the carbon issue to get traction against Kevin Rudd and later Julia Gillard. He was helped by circumstances: the Copenhagen conference's failure; Rudd's backtracking from what he had promoted as a great moral challenge; most notably, Gillard's breach of her "no carbon tax" promise.
Despite criticism of his own "Direct Action", including at times the little disguised scepticism of Turnbull, the carbon issue has been costly for Labor and politically good to Abbott, especially because he could marry it to "trust".
"The carbon tax is where Labor's economic deficit and Labor's trust deficit coincide," he said in today's speech.
"More than anything, this election is a referendum on the carbon tax. A Coalition victory, should it happen, will be a warning from alienated Labor voters to their leaders: never again sell Labor's soul to another party."
He added, in what is a throw-forward to an Abbott government, "that's why it's unimaginable that a defeated Labor party would persist with a carbon tax. It would just confirm that Labor is incapable of learning from its mistakes."
If Abbott becomes prime minister, this needs to be true or the early period of his government would become very messy.
The Greens may well lose their sole balance of power in the Senate at the election but the new Senate does not come into until mid-next year.
But Abbott declares scrapping the carbon tax a central and instant priority. "Building a strong economy will start from day one of a Coalition government's first term as soon as the instructions are issued to start preparing the carbon tax repeal legislation. Elect the Coalition and, within a year, the carbon tax will be gone so power prices will be down in the order of 10% and gas prices will be down in the order of 9%."
If Abbott in government could not obtain his repeal legislation, it would not just be a political blow. He has promised - and reaffirmed this today in interview with The Conversation – that he would go to a double dissolution on the issue. An early election is the last thing that a Coalition government, or the public, would want.
A defeated ALP might not want it either, so his calculation could well be correct. Or, if the election produces a Senate with right-leaning crossbenchers having the balance of power after June, a Coalition government could eventually negotiate the repeal through, even if Labor held firm against it.
That's all for the future. Right now Abbott hammers the cost of the carbon price ("the cumulative loss in GDP between now and 2050 is $1 trillion"), and the claimed benefits of being without it. "An economy that's 3% bigger or $40 billion a year wealthier could much more readily afford the Gonski school changes and the National Disability Insurance Scheme."
As for Direct Action, he professes confidence a Coalition government could achieve its commitment to a 5% reduction in emissions target by 2020 with the about $3 billion over four years that it is allocating. But if it can't, it appears it will be the target, not the money, that will have to give.
"We are very confident that we can achieve the domestic emissions reductions within the funding envelope that we've provided," he said, arguing it was in the economic interests of business to try to reduce costly inputs "and often its most costly inputs, apart from labour, are fuel and power.
"So please, never underestimate the ordinary economic imperative to emit less … I also think it's easy to underestimate the emissions reduction potential in the agricultural sector.
"But the bottom line is that we will spend as much as we have budgeted, no more and no less. We will get as much environmental improvement, as much emissions reduction as we can for the spending that we've budgeted. We are very confident that we will achieve the 5% target that we've set ourselves. We're very confident that we can achieve that, but in the end we've told you the money we'll spend and we won't spend any more."
So there you have it. Fighting the carbon price has so far been mostly upside for Abbott but if he becomes PM things get more complicated because the onus is on him.
First, he would have to get rid of the carbon tax, without losing too much political skin.
Second, its abolition would have to produce the benefits he has claimed or he would be held to account for creating false expectations.
And third, his direct action plan would need to deliver what he asserts it can – which may involve some heroic assumptions – or he'd be seen as letting Australia down at home and abroad.
At one level today's National Press Club speech was all about a cautious candidate with an election lead determined to avoid final week mistakes. Viewed from a longer term perspective, Abbott has set himself some tough hurdles for the future.

(Trinidad Guardian) After four days of being in police custody, the ruling PNM's deputy leader Marlene McDonald and her common-law husband Michael Carew were charged last night.
And Government issued a statement at 12.40 am, saying Prime Minister Keith Rowley will be advising President Paula- Mae Weekes to revoke McDonald's appointment as Public Administration Minister. A new minister will be announced, the Communication Ministry stated.
Government said the State had been reliably informed that based on the advice of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Police Service was charging McDonald and others with several offences.
Police sources said McDonald faces as many as seven charges including alleged misbehaviour in public office, conspiracy to defraud and money laundering.
Carew and three other people also face several charges arising out of the alleged disbursement of state funds from the Community Development Ministry to "help" at-risk youths.
The three others charged include Victor McEachrane— who was listed as a director of the Calabar Foundation, along with Carew— former Self-Help Commission chairman Edgar Zephyrine and a contractor Wayne Anthony.
Police sources said they tracked public money which allegedly ended up in persons' private bank accounts. Charges were being formulated up to midnight.
All five are expected to appear in Port-of-Spain Magistrates' Court this morning.
The initial Calabar Foundation matter had been under investigation by the police's Fraud Squad since March 2016 after Fixin' T&T's head Kirk Waithe requested an investigation into the establishment and running of the Foundation, monies paid to the entity and its operations.
At that time, then-acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams wrote Prime Minister Keith Rowley indicating a criminal investigation had been launched into the Calabar Foundation.
Ultimately, investigations were expanded to probe the alleged distribution of monies to organisations, to "help the needy."
The three- year probe peaked last Thursday when police executed a search warrant at McDonald's Maracas, St Joseph home in the wee hours of the morning.
She and Carew were held for questioning, arrested and taken into police custody. Information was taken from the house. McDonald's cell phone and computer were confiscated
Over the next three days, both were questioned for several hours at a time, separately. They were taken to the Professional Standards' Bureau Port-of-Spain building for questioning last Friday by Assistant Commissioner of Police Totaram Dookhie (former Fraud Squad head) who'd spearheaded the probe. They were later taken back to St Joseph Police station.
Police had also detained other people— including contractors—for questioning. Interrogations were completed last Saturday and McDonald and Carew remained in separate areas at St Joseph Police Station most of yesterday while decisions were made by the Director of Public Prosecutions. (DPP).
Sources said police had informed the trio of the charges while they were at St Joseph Station. They added, McDonald lost her composure when the news was delivered.
Last night, Carew was the first to be brought to the PSB office. He arrived at 9 .10 pm in an unmarked police vehicle. Dressed in casual clothing, Carew was escorted into the building. He wasn't handcuffed.
McDonald arrived shortly after at 9.27 pm, in a silver SUV driven by a male officer. Dressed in a pink top and black pants, with a black shawl over her shoulder, she was escorted by a female officer who shielded her from cameras.
McDonald who looked exhausted struggled to climb the building's steps and was assisted by the female officer.
Other accused people arrived after her, up to 11 pm. ACP Dookhie arrived at 10.46 pm.
Elder told media the arrangement had been that McDonald would have left the St Joseph Police Station at 7 pm to get to PSB's office. But McDonald didn't arrive there until 9.27 pm. Elder herself didn't emerge from the PSB building after she went in.
Government officials hinted a statement on the future of McDonald's Public Administration post is expected today. The revocation will be her third dismissal in this term.
While McDonald had been visited by several ministerial colleagues in recent days – up to yesterday- the lone Government presence near the PSB building was Public Utilities Minister Robert Le, Hunte.
He was there for about an hour before McDonald arrived. Le Hunte said he'd also visited her at St Joseph Police station earlier in the day.
Speaking in a sad tone, he told Guardian Media, "I'm here solely to lend (McDonald) moral support, I've known Marlene as long as I've been in the PNM- for over 20 years – so I'm providing support to my colleague. Nothing else.
"This is a very emotionally traumatic situation, I feel very much for my colleague. I can just imagine the trauma she's going through. The fact it's taking so long is a bit disturbing," he said, speaking before McDonald arrived.
Dismissing perception that he was there to take McDonald's bail, he added, "I visited her at St Joseph Police Station at 10 am (yesterday) and spent two hours with her. I brought her some snacks and tried to provide moral support. She was in good spirits and I was happy to help."
"We chatted, just regular conversation – nothing about the matter – I just wanted to keep her spirits up. Marlene has been a good friend and colleague of mine. We're a team and if one member of a team is hurting, the right thing is to offer moral support,"
Le Hunte remained outside the PSB building after midnight. McDonald was also visited earlier in the day by Communication Minister Donna Cox. Cox said after her visit, she left McDonald with the words to trust in God and "talk to him.
Other colleagues, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh and D'Abadie/ O'Meara MP Ancil Antoine, who also came to see McDonald, were also at St Joseph Police Station.
Opposition MP Barry Padarath also said last night, "The Prime Minister must now act to remove Ms McDonald from the Cabinet and she must resign her Port-of-Spain South seat. We've seen precedent on this from the tenure of former prime ministers (Kamla) Persad-Bissessar and (Basdeo) Panday and it's in keeping with the Westminster system."
"On a human level I feel a great degree of concern for her, but as public officials, we owe a greater duty to T&T and the people who elect us all."

First, it should be noted that at anytime the commissioner (or person running the FanDraft software) can over-ride waiting for a remote selection at any time. Simply right-click the green "AWAITING REMOTE SELECTION" box and it will disappear. At which time, you can select "Draft > Auto-Pick"
Alternatively, you can do the following:
- Exit the draft and go to SETUP > TEAM SETUP.
- Select the owner from the drop-down, and uncheck the "Use WEB" box for the owner who will no longer be participating remotely.
- Check the "Turn on Auto-Draft for this team" box
- Select "Draft > Continue Draft" and you will continue right where you left off.

Before leaping to Panasonic's latest makeup mirror news, here's an earlier iteration of their product at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES),
That was posted on Jan. 10, 2016 by Makeup University.
Panasonic has come back in 2017 to hype its "Snow Beauty Mirror," a product which builds on its predecessor's abilities by allowing the mirror to create a makeup look which it then produces for the user. At least, they hope it will—in 2020. From a Jan. 8, 2017 article by Shusuke Murai about the mirror and Japan's evolving appliances market for The Japan Times,
Panasonic Corp. is developing a "magic" mirror for 2020 that will use nanotechnology for high-definition TVs to offer advice on how to become more beautiful.
The aim of the Snow Beauty Mirror is "to let people become what they want to be," said Panasonic's Sachiko Kawaguchi, who is in charge of the product's development.
"Since 2012 or 2013, many female high school students have taken advantage of blogs and other platforms to spread their own messages," Kawaguchi said. "Now the trend is that, in this digital era, they change their faces (on a photo) as they like to make them appear as they want to be."
When one sits in front of the computerized mirror, a camera and sensors start scanning the face to check the skin. It then shines a light to analyze reflection and absorption rates, find flaws like dark spots, wrinkles and large pores, and offer tips on how to improve appearances.
But this is when the real "magic" begins.
Tap print on the results screen and a special printer for the mirror churns out an ultrathin, 100-nanometer makeup-coated patch that is tailor-made for the person examined.
The patch is made of a safe material often used for surgery so it can be directly applied to the face. Once the patch settles, it is barely noticeable and resists falling off unless sprayed with water.
The technologies behind the patch involve Panasonic's know-how in organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), Kawaguchi said. By using the company's technology to spray OLED material precisely onto display substrates, the printer connected to the computerized mirror prints a makeup ink that is made of material similar to that used in foundation, she added.
Though the product is still in the early stages of development, Panasonic envisions the mirror allowing users to download their favorite makeups from a database and apply them. It also believes the makeup sheet can be used to cover blemishes and birthmarks.
Before coming up with the smart mirror, Panasonic conducted a survey involving more than 50 middle- to upper-class women from six major Asian cities whose ages ranged from their 20s to 40s about makeup habits and demands.
Some respondents said they were not sure how to care for their skin to make it look its best, while others said they were hesitant to visit makeup counters in department stores.
"As consumer needs are becoming increasingly diverse, the first thing to do is to offer a tailor-made solution to answer each individual's needs," Kawaguchi said.
Panasonic aims to introduce the smart mirror and cosmetics sheets at department stores and beauty salons by 2020.
But Kawaguchi said there are many technological and marketing hurdles that must first be overcome — including how to mass-produce the ultrathin sheets.
"We are still at about 30 percent of overall progress," she said, adding that the company hopes to market the makeup sheet at a price as low as foundation and concealer combined.
"I hope that, by 2020, applying facial sheets will become a major way to do makeup," she said.

The evolutionary dynamics of the credit relationship between Henry III and Flemish merchants, 1247-1270
Carol Alexander, Adrian R. Bell, Chris Brooks and Tony K. MooreICMA Centre (University of Reading)
ICMA Centre Discussion Papers in Finance, November 27, (2011)
The towns of Flanders were the great centres of the medieval cloth industry. During the thirteenth century, the bulk of Flemish exports were probably traded at the great international fairs of Champagne, where the Flemish cloth was exchanged with Italian merchants for silk, spices and other luxury goods. However, Flemish merchants were major exporters of finished cloth and other goods to England, selling their wares at the cycle of fairs held in Eastern England: Stamford at Lent, St Ives at Easter, Boston at Midsummer, Winchester in September and Northampton in November.

Referrers Updated
Just an FYI really: I've upgraded to Refer 2.01 for this site's Referrers section.
I have not figured out (yet) how to transfer my old referrers to the new SQL table (any hints?), so for the time being the old referrers can still be viewed here.
Please forgive any glitches in the display of the new Referrers section, since Dean Allen has added some new functions to Refer 2.01, and I haven't yet updated all my CSS (nor have I actually found everything which needs to be tweaked).
