If flashing the flesh fills you with dread, fear not: with clever cuts and technical fabrics you can nip, tuck, suck and pull in all your problem areas in seconds.
A simple (but secretly not so simple) black swimsuit can work wonders for your figure. If you don't believe us, just take it from the pros.
Kim Kardashian is a petite 5.3, so she looks to lengthens her legs when choosing swimwear. Her trick? A high-leg cut will make way for extra inches and immediately create the illusion of longer limbs.
Ashley Graham, the world's most famous plus size model, wowed in a recent photo shoot for her own swimwear range. She opted for a high-leg brief and plunging neckline to draw attention to her waist and enhance her natural hourglass figure. Here's where you can buy her exact swimsuit - and it's in the sale!
And just before she had baby Alexis, Serena Williams posted this picture of her holidaying on Instagram. The tennis star sported a black swimsuit traced with tiers of ruffles to complement her blooming baby bump.

Best for leg-lengthening
Take it from Kim K and opt for a high leg cut to lengthen your limbs.

Seeking to save Ali Act case, Trout files Motion for Reconsideration
November 22, 2018
Attorneys for Austin Trout have filed a Motion for Reconsideration in light of the District Court ruling which dismissed Trout's lawsuit against the WBO and sent his case to arbitration.
In its motion, Trout argues that hat the WBO waived any right to arbitration, pointed to the promotion's own guidelines with respect to jurisdiction and claims that the Ali Act cannot be subject to arbitration.
As you might recall if you have been following this lawsuit, Trout filed a lawsuit against the promotion as he believed he was passed over a chance to fight for the title. The case was moved to Puerto Rico where the WBO is located and the promotion filed a motion to dismiss the case and compelling it to arbitration per the terms of the contract. The Court determined that Trout's promotional agreement with the WBO with its arbitration agreement ruled the day and dismissed the case to go to arbitration.
Trout is now moving for the court to reconsider the ruling. The Court will have to be persuaded that its original ruling was in error.
Trout argues that by the WBO having moved the case to Puerto Rico it requested the case to be litigated and waived its right to arbitration. Trout also claims that the parties have engaged in discovery which would be considered litigating the case. Moreover, they state that Trout's claims under the Ali Act cannot be determined by arbitration.
In opposing the motion to reconsideration, the WBO notes that there is no error of law which Trout points to that was decided in error. This may be the strongest argument for denial by the WBO here. The WBO claims that the motion is merely an attempt to relitigate the points the Court has already decided. In its opposing brief, the WBO claims it did not waive its right to arbitration. WBO states that despite discovery taking place, it did not substantially involve itself in litigation. It also suggests that even though the contract indicates a jurisdiction and venue for possible litigation it does not "override" the arbitration clause.
The WBO noted that the Ali Act was subject to arbitration. Although this issue has not been decided, it argues that the "scope of issues subject to arbitration is determined by the agreement itself."

Payout Perspective:
As we've discussed when the Court ruled that this case go to Arbitration, this decision has big implications for those seeking to litigate under the Ali Act. The WBO claims, citing case law, that any issue in the contract is subject to arbitration. However, there has not been a legal challenge where a boxer has sued under the Ali Act and it has gone to arbitration. The WBO makes a compelling case that there has not been an error of law for the Court to overturn its original decision. An appeal may be necessary if Trout wants to overturn this decision. MMA Payout will keep you updated.

Visiting the Library
Early Childhood
St. Mark's Elementary students visit the library once every 6 days. Elementary students are encouraged to come check out books any time during the week, not just during library class. Library catalog and database searching is introduced in 1st grade. Students spend more time learning how to locate resources in 1st and 2nd grade, although they still participate in story times. Differences in fiction, nonfiction, biographies, and other genres are explored.
Students gain a love of literature as they read and listen to stories and poetry. They learn how to use the online catalog and online databases to find materials needed for assignments or books to read. They explore fiction genres, use a variety of reference sources, and learn about authors. By the end of the year, students are independent, confident library users as they delve deeper into becoming skilled searchers. Many students come to the library on their own several times each week to replenish their reading supply.

(Adds detail, quotes)
BRUSSELS, June 7 (Reuters) - Any new British prime minister will still face the problem of what to do about the Irish border when Britain leaves the European Union, the EU's Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said on Friday.
Managing the sensitive Irish border and designing an emergency "backstop" solution to prevent the return of extensive controls after Brexit has proven the most contentious element of divorce negotiations between London and the EU.
British Prime Minister Theresa May stepped down as leader of her ruling Conservatives on Friday, officially triggering a contest to replace her that could see her party embrace a tougher stance on Brexit.
"The problem is there (with the Irish border), created by Brexit. We have to protect peace. Stability is not a question of goods or customs. It's a question about people in Ireland, on both sides," Barnier told a conference in Slovakia.
"In any case, a new prime minister will not change the problem. The problem is there and the new prime minister will have the responsibility with us to solve this problem."
While Barnier declined to comment directly on May's possible successor or comments by some of the candidates who have vowed to renegotiate the Brexit deal May had sealed with the EU but then failed to ratify at home, he did reiterate the bloc's long-standing position on the stalled divorce.
"The point is to know whether the UK still wants to leave in an orderly manner," Barnier said. "If this answer is 'yes'... the Withdrawal Agreement is the only one possible."
He said any 'no-deal Brexit', involving the UK's departure without a negotiated divorce settlement, would never be the choice of the EU, which is determined to defend its cherished single market.
"What is at stake in Ireland is the peace and people and stability in the first place. Second - the single market, which is our main asset and nobody can ask us to weaken it... We are not ready to compromise, to... bargain on the single market." (Reporting by Gabriela Baczynska, editing by Philip Blenkinsop and Gareth Jones)

This note draws on previously published work which has reflected on the (dis)continuities between two different types of feminist engagement with the state and the wage society (Alessandrini, 2011, 2013). The aim is to raise questions the network, with its focus on gendering labour law, might consider worth pursuing as part of its future research agenda. Even though I am not a labour lawyer, I have an interest in labour theory and this comes from a particular tradition, that of feminist autonomists who have critically interrogated Marx's labour theory of value, that is, the theory according to which labour is the source of value in capitalist economies, by paying specific attention to the role of social reproduction.(1) I draw on this tradition for two interconnected reasons: first because I think it offers important resources for thinking about the links between gender, labour and value in today's post-Fordist economies, exactly at a time when these links appear to have become more tenuous; secondly because it provides the opportunity to think about the sort of arrangements that might be able to affect these links, thereby shifting current value-making processes.
What I would like to do is to reflect on the potential of one particular (and seemingly anachronistic) arrangement to do just this. Recently, some feminist economists have started to engage with a proposal put forward by post-Keynesian scholars which demands that the government acts at once as the Employer of Last Resort (ELR) and a social provider, particularly of care. I will briefly illustrate how such a proposal appeals to feminist economists who have long argued for the inclusion of social reproduction within the general analytical framework of political economy. My focus however will be on exploring what I think is a crucial concern, that is, that by participating in programs such as this one we might end up sustaining, rather than undoing, the very relations we seek to challenge. It is in this respect that I will draw on the work of Italian feminist autonomists who since the 1970s have argued not only against the wage society but also against the welfare state; and ask how we can make sense of a project such as the ELR in light of this tradition of feminist work. Rather than setting these two very different moments in opposition to one another, my intention is to explore what is at stake for both, which has to do with the promotion of arrangements able to 'provoke' alternative valorisation processes.
ELR and the social provisioning approach of feminist economists
I will start with a snapshot of the ELR program. Although the idea goes back to the seventeenth century, its revival within the framework advocated by Keynes for the socialisation of investment occurred in the 1960s (Kaboub, 2007). The central tenet is that the government becomes a permanent guarantor of jobs for anyone able and willing to work for a socially established wage and benefits. The program is permanent in time but is meant to change in size so that it expands in periods of recession such as the current one to absorb workers who have been made redundant and contracts as the economy recovers and the private sector is able to re-employ workers. Economists have pointed to four essential features of the program: firstly it operates as a buffer stock employment mechanism (Minsky, 1986; Wray, 1998). They point to the fact that when jobs are guaranteed, uncertainty and precariousness are reduced for people and at the same time firms' expectations of consumers' demand become more stable (so they can plan production and so on). Secondly, it sets the 'floor' price of labour and thus ensures price stability since private sector jobs are provided at a mark-up over the ELR fixed wage (Kaboub, 2007: 11). Thirdly, by providing continuous training to displaced workers, it contributes to the appreciation of skills that unemployment drastically interrupts, thereby also furnishing the private sector with a constant pool of skilled workers. This leads to the fourth feature, the relationship with the private sector is one of cooperation rather than competition: the program is supposed to focus on activities that are either undersupplied or not supplied at all by the private sector. Usually this happens when they are not profitable because pecuniary considerations are the major determining factor.
It is important to emphasise that unlike post-war Keynesian policies which aimed to guarantee full employment at times of crisis by promoting government spending in some activities, and which often resulted in the strengthening of the military establishment, this is a permanent program according to which the state invests in sectors where private companies do not because they find it unprofitable. We know there are currently many sectors left out because pecuniary considerations are the determining factor in investment decisions; one needs only to think about low-income households.(2) Post-Keynesian economists have also responded to arguments about the rise of inflation the program might cause as well as its costs. However, rather than focusing on its sustainability, my interest lies in exploring the question of why and how this program appeals to feminist economists. One of the reasons is that it moves the debate about how to organise provisioning in our society away from both attempts to allocate unemployed workers among scarcely available jobs and also welfare programs based on the punitive mean-tested approach to securing income (Todorova, 2009: 13). In this respect the program comes close to the so-called social provisioning approach to the study of economics which has been the methodological standing point of feminist economists.
Although there are a variety of traditions that inform feminist economics (Tong, 1998), a point of agreement is the understanding of economic activities as interdependent social processes. As Power puts it: 'to define economics as the study of social provisioning is to emphasize that at its root, economic activity involves the ways people organize themselves collectively to get a living' and manifestations of such an approach have included unpaid and caring labour. However, social provisioning does not only concern 'unpaid' and 'caring labour'; nor is it a distinctive 'woman's issue'. At a methodological level, Power continues, 'starting economic analysis from this standpoint illuminates the ways a society organizes itself to produce and reproduce material life...and the outcome of such a process is social production and reproduction' (Power, 2004: 7). Thus the specificity of the social provisioning approach is that it is not an adjunct to economic analysis but its very starting point. It is an approach that emphasises the interconnectedness and mutual constitution of the productive and reproductive spheres contra current economic understandings that foster an ever growing disconnect between the two. From this standpoint, then, we can understand the fascination of feminist economists with the ELR program because it has the potential of putting at the centre of economic activity the 'planning and implementation of life-supporting and life-enhancing projects' (Todorova, 2009: 9).
But how is this potential to be realised? The answer given by feminist economists is by intervening in the job 'design' of the program. The assumption is that applying such an approach to the job design will contribute to making a whole range of valuable non-performed, underperformed or unremunerated activities emerge as remunerated 'jobs'. And this process would not only mean incorporating caring labour within the creation of new jobs, however important this aspect is for challenging the distinction between productive (paid) and unproductive (unpaid) care labour. It would also mean including the whole spectrum of activities encompassing the broad terrain on which the re-production of life is made possible and on which we need to invest, from child care to health care, from care for the elderly to environmental care, from restoration to engineering, from transport to housing, from manufacture to finance.
In other words, applying a social provisioning approach would allow the myriad of activities that sustain our life process to come to light and be 'valued'; and this is clearly the potential that engaging with such a project offers. But here also lies the problem: making a whole range of 'hidden vacancies' become visible seems akin to preparing them for marketisation. Indeed, the fact that the whole program remains an institution of wage labour requires us to consider the consequences of supporting such a comprehensive macroeconomic policy (Antonopoulos, 2007). This is a crucial point and one which resonates with the argument feminist autonomists made in the 1970s not only against the wage society, which has made people dependent on wages for their survival while simultaneously denying access to work, but also against the welfare state, which they saw as the protector and guarantor of a social division of labour that promotes cooperation at the point of production and atomisation and separation at the point of reproduction (see Dalla Costa, 1972, 2002; Dalla Costa and James, 1972; Fortunati, 1981; Federici, 2004, 2008). For these reasons, rather than engaging with the state and taking up wage labour, they thought it important to think of arrangements able to promote (non-capitalist) processes of valorisation. For instance, whilst they strategically supported the wages for housework initiative, they insisted on the collectivisation of social reproduction through the creation of self-managed and alternative social services, for instance in the areas of health, birth control, abortion and the prevention of domestic violence.
Labour, value and alternative valorisations
What I want to emphasise is the fact that this praxis derived from a profound reconceptualisation of political economy which feminist autonomists saw as the nexus between economy and society, two realms which had been kept separate by a belief in an economic order governed by natural laws that exist 'out there' and that society had to discover and implement, for instance, the law of demand and offer, the law of equilibrium, and even certain interpretations of the Marxist law of value.(3) In particular, through their work on reproductive labour they showed how value is actively made and measured, rather than being objectively determined, under capitalism. Recognising that the way in which capitalist value (i.e. exchange value) is produced and determined is a process rather than an imperative meant confronting its contingency and contestability, thereby beginning to explore the possibility of alternative processes of valorisation. These insights led them to re-work the category of self valorisation: whereas for Marx it denoted all that which is involved in the expanded reproduction of capital, they used it to indicate those labour activities which do not simply react to capital but are able to exceed it through creativity and invention (Dalla Costa, 1972). They for instance engaged with Gabriel Tarde (1902) whose work on value had argued that classical political economy 'was at fault for the omission of affections, and especially of desire, in analyses of valorization' (Fortunati, 2007: 142).
Picchio's work in this respect has been crucial. She has shown how after Smith and Ricardo, the vast spectrum of desires, passions and interests that animate social interaction, and which were the subject of classical political economy, has been reduced to only one, that is the maximisation of material wealth through exchange and competition. Once these had been posited as the principal means and objective of our economic system, a specific division of labour between production and reproduction was established that serves this purpose (1992, 2009). It is worth reflecting a little bit more on how such division of labour takes places, excluding from social analysis other modes of existence and introducing the wage as a central mechanism for regulating social interaction. Picchio's interest in classical political economy derives from the latter's meticulous study of the transformations which by the eighteenth century had radically reshaped the economy-society nexus in England. Classical political economists pointed to the fact that whereas previously the household produced for the reproduction of its members, the new system used 'the reproduction of the labouring population for the accumulation of capital'. Smith and Ricardo, however, understood capital not only 'physically, as tools or goods, but as a specific historical relationship between the labouring population and its means of reproduction' (1992: 8).(4) They took for granted that this relationship was regulated by certain constraints, such as the imperative for capital to make savings and expand, and acknowledged this process happened chiefly by reducing the costs of reproduction. However, they saw these constraints, as well as the consequences deriving from them, as historic rather than natural. Thus, the tendency to reduce the costs of reproduction made this relationship a conflictual one and that is why the wage was so central to Smith and Ricardo's analyses. For both it was 'the outcome of a complex series of social and political forces, embodied in a variety of institutions and expressed through a variety of social norms'; thus, although wages had to be kept 'within the bounds necessary for a viable relationship between social production and accumulation', it was clear to them they were contingent and the product of struggle (1992: 29).
Crucially, Picchio argues, this notion of the wage as the cost of social reproduction is what gets displaced through the work of subsequent thinkers such as Mill, Torrens and McCulloch, who introduce the concept of the 'Wage Fund', the idea that wages are determined in the market by the supply and demand of labour. This conception creates an inversion of analytical focus: wages are no longer 'taken as a reflection of the exogenous modes of reproduction, but reproduction – in quantity and standards – [is] seen as depending on wages determined by the allocation of quantities of capital and population' (1992: 56). This inversion provides the foundation of the modern approach to economics and we see it at work when notions of scarcity and economic imperatives or laws are used to justify unemployment and the need to freeze or cut wages. This loss of analytical focus has also had political consequences as the conflict is no longer between wage and profit within the total value produced but between sections of the labouring population within a given fund. In this context, competition emerges as the chief mechanism regulating social interaction, the latter reconceptualised as exchange, whilst other actually existing desires, passions and interests are removed from the terrain of legitimate economic enquiry. As Picchio points out:
while the concept of social reproduction and subsistence could easily embody an idea of equality, solidarity and collective cooperation for survival...competition of large numbers of workers for access to a limited wage fund implies destructive struggles within the labouring population... This new analytical method expressed a new view of the world. A broad historical and social analysis was replaced by a simplistic mechanical framework in which specific historical processes were homogenised by universal laws, and social conflicts were mystified by theories of technical and natural constraints (1992: 53).By making the historical relationship between production and reproduction explicit, Picchio's work has aimed to show how the functional link between waged work and housework becomes a general concern rather than being a woman's issue. She acknowledges that women 'are deeply divided by differences of class, nationality, and race as well as by their own individual histories' (1992: 114). This is a point that feminists who consider race as a constitutive aspect of their gender analysis have made and continue to make, pointing for instance to the radically different experiences of Black women with both paid and unpaid labour (see Hill Collins, 2000; Bhandar, 2013).(5) Picchio's work is cognisant of the fact that the socio-economic system classical political economists took for granted was based and is still based on racial, gender and class divisions. However, and this has been her project for quite some time, she believes that 'a focus on the specific question of reproduction might well facilitate new alliances...' (1992: 114). This is still, I think, a question worth asking: can a focus on reproduction, the wage and alternative valorisation processes be of any analytical import today as well as facilitate new political alliances that do not end up universalising the category of 'woman'?
Back to the wage?
I think the potential for transformation has to be considered in relation to the changes in the system of (capitalist) valuation the program might instil over time. This is because whereas the profit motive is behind most economic activities, and it is certainly the force behind private investment, the design of ELR jobs allows in principle for considerations other than the pursuit of profit. This process therefore introduces a system of remuneration other than pecuniary evaluation, which is particularly important in, but not limited to, the context of care activities, many of which (certainly not all) are not subject to the profit motive and often remain performed in individual households as firms do not find investing in such activities profitable. The most evident instance is the provision of childcare services affordable to all income groups but this is by no means the only case. The point is that, as a result of including them under the ELR program, these investment decisions are lifted from the exclusive realm of pecuniary valuation that currently limits employment and output. Now, it is true that this relocation concerns jobs which would have not been otherwise offered by the private sector. The reason for this requirement is that the nature of the program is one of cooperation rather than competition with the private sector, and, therefore, ELR jobs are not supposed to displace private sector employment. However, as feminist economists have pointed out, jobs could be designed in a way that applies to a vast and crucial array of activities that are now performed in an individualised manner or to new activities worth investing in, where worth is assessed in terms of their contribution to the sustenance and enhancement of life. And if private firms wished to provide them, they would need to offer more affordable services and/or better pay conditions, introducing values other than profit maximisation.
Thus, despite the fact that the program is based on a very contested premise, it opens up the possibility for other forms of valuation of economic activity, and thus for other meanings of work, to emerge. This possibility is I think the program's radical potential: without the threat of exclusion from subsistence on which the wage society has relied for so long and with meaningful and effective participation in the job design of the program, which is one of its crucial challenges, the way in which we conceive of 'work', which includes caring labour, can be radically affected. In place of the old 'work as worth' ideology which has permeated both the welfare state and neo-liberal welfare-to-work initiatives, we can start a discussion on how to organise the activities we value in life, which is the most valuable contribution that the social provisioning approach to economics has made so far. In this discussion the meaning of care and caring labour can be re-articulated, delinked from the house, the family, the mother and possibly the woman.
This I believe is one of the crucial differences with the citizenship income movement, for which income needs to be de-coupled from wage labour. Gorz, one of its major proponents, argued that efforts should concentrate on 'distributing all the socially necessary work and [also] socially produced wealth' so that 'people will be able to divide their lives between a wide range of activities which will have neither payment nor profitability as their necessary condition or goal' (1999: 46). A similar argument has been made more recently by Kathi Weeks (2011) who also draws on the Wages for Housework campaign and presents citizenship income as its successor. The latter has for her the advantage of doing away with the productivist logic Wages for Housework unintentionally produced by focusing too much on 'work'. However, although they both point to the need for a political break, it is not really clear how this is to come about besides demanding that the state grants a citizenship income for the productive labour we are all engaged with. Although I sympathise with their attempt to move beyond the work ideology, I think their position leaves a whole set of important questions about this process unanswered, for instance about the nature of our interaction with the state on which we place the demand for a citizenship income; the parameters informing the (re)valuation of the different forms of labour we engage with and/or wish to foster; and the means through which the massive indigent population can effectively participate in redefining 'work'. The ELR, on the other hand, does not introduce a political break overnight. However, its potential lies in providing the opportunity to get a socially desirable wage immediately that enables participation in exactly such a complex process.
To conclude, rather than seeing these two modes of feminist engagement in opposition to one another, I want to suggest it makes more sense to focus on what is at stake for both, that is on the attempt to think of alternative processes of (non-capitalist) valorisation as well as the arrangements, institutional and otherwise, which might be able to sustain them. Now one obvious objection to the ELR program in particular is that insisting on the wage at a time when the role wage labour plays in productive processes is declining is anachronistic. I take this argument seriously. The first point I would like to make is that wage labour has only ever been a crucial form of labour in some parts of the world and even in Fordist economies it has not been the only one. However the powerful role the wage played in disciplining Fordist societies by making people's own sense of worth and subsistence conditions dependant on whether they had access to work cannot be underestimated. Has this role ceased to exist? This is my second point and one which I think is worth including in our future research agenda. The role of the wage in providing access to the means of subsistence has certainly declined in post-Fordist economies (and even here we need to do serious empirical and conceptual work on how im/material production is being re-organised around the world). But what about its disciplinary role? Can we dismiss it at a time when ever more individual and societal 'worth' is produced through the narrative/ideology of work? Can we dismiss its political charge? I would like to suggest that at a time when the work ideology is so powerful, forms of engagement with the wage such as the ELR program can have power as a provocation.
To be sure, I do not consider such a program as a solution, permanent or otherwise, by any means. Rather, borrowing from Weeks' work on the Wages for Housework campaign, I consider it as both a perspective and a provocation. As a perspective, she points out, 'Wages for Housework served to create critical distance from the dominant discourse of work and family; it was an attempt to demystify domestic labour, while simultaneously insisting on its necessity; and its potential lay [exactly] in the ability to open up the wage relation to a new kind of scrutiny by politicising estimations of skills and determination of value' (2011: 129) and such scrutiny I think is what programs like the ELR might enable. Unlike a description (à la Smith and Ricardo), a perspective focuses on the wage to demystify its role, that is, to show how it operates by making people dependent on it for their survival whilst simultaneously denying access to it; and to re-open the conflict between the labouring population and its means of reproduction which the wage is supposed to mediate. As a provocation, Weeks continues, Wages for Housework:
served to elicit the subversive commitments, collective formations and political hopes that it appeared only to reflect...[As such, a provocation] should be understood as an attempted claim and incitement of antagonism, collective power and desire. Indeed, neither the policy proposal, with its aura of neutrality, nor the plea, with its solicitousness, manages to capture the...belligerence with which the demand is presented' (2011: 131-132).In its performative dimension, therefore, the ELR might enable us to demand of the current system what the system promises and very likely cannot deliver. In the process it might even allow us to re-open the conflict which we have kept hidden through notions of scarcity and economic imperatives as well as to call into question the way we collectively organise our social provisioning, this time beyond mediation and calculation. Here is how Cox and Federici talked about the power of provocations in the 1970s:
As for the financial aspects of Wages for Housework, they are 'highly problematical'... only if we take the viewpoint of capital – the view point of the Treasury Department – which always claims poverty when it is replying to the working class. Since we are not the Treasury Department and have no aspiration to be, we cannot see with their eyes, and we did not even conceive of planning for them systems of payment, wage differentials, productivity deals. It is not for us to put limits on our power, it is not for us to measure our value. It is only for us to organise a struggle to get all we want, for us all, and on our terms. For our aim is to be priceless, to price ourselves out of the market... (Cox and Federici, 1976: 14 in Weeks, 2011: 132)Can we think of the state and the wage provocatively again?

(1) Although there are different understandings of the concept of 'social reproduction', for a comprehensive definition encompassing biological reproduction, including sexual, affective and emotional services; unpaid production of goods and services in the home and within the community; and the reproduction of culture and ideology which can both stabilise and challenge dominant social relations, see Rai, Hoskyns and Thomas (2010). In this paper I use it to refer more broadly to the way we collectively organise our living, including but not limited to the unpaid domestic labour and caring that goes into producing and reproducing life's conditions and which is currently organised through households, the market and the state, with the crucial role played by immigration policies (see Fudge, 2011). This comes very close to the social provisioning approach adopted by feminist economists, see section 1 below.
(2) This is not to say that social reproductive activities are not profitable. Indeed, services such as advanced health care and higher education have been, and are being, privatised for profit. Access to these services remains, however, dependent on income. At the same time, sectors which do not require high capital investment, mainly because labour cannot be easily replaced with capital and its productivity improved through technological development, will experience a different degree of privatisation. I thank Judy Fudge for raising this issue and pointing me in the direction of Himmelweit's work which has shown how, in relation to these sectors, an increase in wages will comport an increase in the cost of care, with the likely result of 'inequality in access to affordable care becoming a major issue in many high income countries' (2013: 12).
(3) This is the theory according to which labour is the source of all value and socially necessary labour time its measure. Now, while Marx saw the domestic sphere as unproductive (that is, from the point of view of commodity production), autonomists like Fortunati showed how the production of goods and services, including prostitution, was a crucial stage in the production of surplus value. Thus, the separation of the process of production of commodities from that of reproduction, even though the two are indissolubly connected in producing value, is what allows capital to make huge money savings (Fortunati, 1981: 82). The work of feminist autonomists therefore aimed to demonstrate the inadequacy of socially necessary labour time to provide the measure of value of a commodity. Their point however was never to get at a more precise calculation of such value but to focus the attention on how labour was divided/organised and expose the political consequences deriving from such an organisation (see also Elson, 1979: 23).
(4) 'The share of output distributed to the labouring population as a whole cannot exceed the limits consistent with capitalist accumulation. The lower limit of that share is defined by the need to reproduce the labouring population, and the upper limit is defined by the needs of accumulation. In this double constraint lies the problem of the classical political economists' (Picchio, 1992: 17-18).
(5) As Bhandar has recently put it, 'The word "woman" is used as though it applies to all women when it actually represents and signifies the experiences and histories of white women. This means that the experiences of Black women, Asian women (and, in other contexts, indigenous women) are erased or suppressed by the theories and politics of left feminisms. It means that the analyses of political problems that are being presented are partial and incorrect – because (as we know), capitalism has been forged through colonial dispossession, the Atlantic slave-trade, and now, a globalised form of capitalism that depends on third world labour whose value remains fixed – to some degree – by racism and a persistent belief in white superiority' (2013: 4).

Know someone who rents out property to others? Perhaps they could use a hand managing their property. If so, you can make a decent amount of money on this side business idea with relatively little work on your part (most of the time). It'll take some hustling and the willingness to be flexible with your schedule, as you'll be responsible for collecting rent checks, managing repairs and improvements, and simply being on call for emergencies. But, a property manager is essential for most real estate investors that have a large enough portfolio, so there's definitely merit to this business idea.

Everyone knows legal proceedings take forever, can be very expensive, and the outcomes can be uncertain. I became involved in litigation with a service vendor and it looked like we had no alternative but to go to court. However, our opposing attorneys agreed to hire an arbitrator and we ended up with a much better result, with much less time and agony. A great business—and a great service for individuals and businesses.
Health and fitness services are being rebranded to become trendier and more sociable. Opening a health club or gym targeted specifically to millennials could be a great way to capitalize on the fitness trend, especially if you focus on creating a strong, fun and engaging social media presence to really connect with young members and potential customers.

Home health care services typically provide seniors with a wide range of assistance, including help with managing illnesses or injuries, administering medicine and treatment, and helping with basic daily tasks. A background in medicine, physical therapy, nursing or social work is a major plus, and it helps to have a high number of seniors living in your area.
If you've got the attitude (and look), there should be a product or service out there on the hunt for the right model to promote their brand as a side business idea. You can sign up with a large agency, find a freelance agent, or look for your own modeling gigs as an independent talent. Since modeling is a complex field, get all the advice you need before jumping right in and find a mentor who can guide you through some of the early challenges it'll take to establish your brand. Depending on your preference, you can specialize in a single media format such as video or still images, to build a compelling portfolio and grow this into a business idea that has the potential to scale.
Companies that provide employees with uniforms often also arrange for them to be cleaned and pressed every single day. You can specialize in certain types of uniforms and/or certain types of services. For example, you could rent uniforms to companies and handle all of their cleaning and pressing needs. You could lease or sell uniforms to companies and then either provide cleaning and pressing services or not.
Are you the one all your friends call when their sink is clogged or their roof is leaking? Are you looking to start your own business but not thrilled about having a brick-and-mortar location? A home improvement business might be just the small town business idea you're looking for. When small towns lack a basic handyman, residents must book appointments days, if not weeks in advance to have a larger service visit their home. That's not so convenient if your toilet has been clogged for three days. As long as you are qualified, have the experience, and know your way around a tool shed, starting a handyman business is fairly straightforward and requires little overhead.

Cuteness overload: Kids Photography by Maja Argakijeva
My name is Maja Argakijeva. I'm a wife, a mom of 2 beautiful twin girls and a photographer.
My fascination with photography lasts for quite some time now. It dates back to my youth, when my father gave me an old Zenit to play with. Somehow I discovered photography on my own before I knew anything about it. When I bought my first dSLR and became a member of a Photo Club "Elema" in 2003, I got an opportunity to deep into the secrets of photography and extend my techniques. By the time, I took part in numerous national and international art exhibitions where I've won several awards. I used to photograph everything that was interesting for me at the moment.. portraits, street photography, landscapes..
Love and passion for photography transformed into a true profession after the birth of my twin daughters in 2011. That most precious gift finally steered my focus towards baby & child photography. Capturing those perfect little beings with my camera became the most beautiful thing in the world. There's nothing like being a witness of the most intimate moments between parents and their baby. And I'm thankful for the opportunity to be a part of that.
You can find more of Maja's photos on her website.

Since The Jamie Drake Equation was published last month, I've been thrilled by the reception it's received. It was chosen by Alex O'Connell as the Children's Book of the Week in The Times, selected by Booktrust as one of their March picks and was also picked by Imogen Russell Williams as one of the best new children's books in The Guardian's March review round-up. I've also been delighted by the reviews it's been receiving from brilliant book bloggers such as LH Johnson, Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books, Read It Daddy and the Big Book Project.
It's been wonderful too to have the chance to talk about The Jamie Drake Equation, and in addition to chatting to the ace Chris Hawkins on BBC 6 Music to launch World Book Day week, I also had the pleasure of being interviewed by top children's author Philip Womack for Books for Keeps magazine. I also blogged about the top 3 influences behind the book for Mr Ripley's Enchanted Books, absent parents in children's fiction for Minerva Reads, and the inspiration I've found in science for the Federation of Children's Book Groups.
The Many Worlds of Albie Bright is also making it's way round the world, with Delacorte Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House, publishing the North American edition at the end of May, with translations also appearing or on their way in Poland, Italy, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Turkey, China, Japan and South Korea. Huge thanks to all the team at Nosy Crow for their work helping Albie to see the world!
Finally, I also received the brilliant news last month that The Many Worlds of Albie Bright was the winner of the 2017 Brilliant Book Award! This award is managed by the Nottinghamshire Education Library Service, with the winner voted for by KS3 students from schools in Nottinghamshire, Nottingham City and Derbyshire. A huge thank you to Rachel and all the team at Inspire behind the award for the work they do inspiring readers and to all the students themselves, especially those who voted for Albie!

When it is done correctly a good web experience is user friendly. You should be able to select things easily without the curse of fat finger syndrome. As more of us browse for information on mobiles and tablets it is the responsibility of site designers to make sure that users are not frustrated.
A very good example of this is the AutoTrader app which gives you clear areas to select, makes swiping through a series of images clear and easy while providing other menu structures in tucked away places until you need them.
The contrast is their competition. Where else do you look for second hand car listings? Printed media is out of date too quickly so really it has to be online and this is where so many sites slip up. They don't put enough thought into their layout. Items for selection should be large enough so that users don't have a fat finger syndrome imposed on them. What's fat finger syndrome I hear you ask. Well it's simply when links or menus are made too small for a user to easily select so that you inadvertently end up selecting something near by, as if you were jabbing the screen with hands like sausages.
We want our user experiences to be quick, simple and free of frustration. It's bad enough if the information we want is hard to find or not there at all. It's even worse if you can see what you want but selecting it requires pinpoint accuracy thanks to lazy design, corners cut due to poor planning and a lack of consideration for the visitor.
The best sites will prosper in the mobile and tablet era, it can only be hoped that poorly designed sites disappear.
Design more carefully and we can stamp out Fat Finger Syndrome in our lifetime!

Completed couple of long painting sessions over last two weeks. Got almost all parts of BT46 and BT52 models primed. Then started applying metallic colors. Mostly Alclad shades sprayed onto engine and accessories and SG black for suspension parts. Body parts require some more prep work before paint could be applied. There will also be quite a bit of hand brushing needed to highlight details. Couple of quick in progress shots.

When I saw this morning via Twitter that President Barack Obama had recorded a video message wishing all Americans a happy holiday weekend (Easter, Passover, or whatever you choose to celebrate), I was excited about posting it. When I started watching it however, I was concerned about the lack of separation of church and state in the President's speech.
While I support his right to acknowledge his personal affiliation with Christianity, I was hoping for a more universal message from this very diverse nation's leader. Fortunately that finally came about 1:30 into the video, so I am quoting that as the message we here at GBN want to promote and amplify this Easter as it is inclusive of everyone:
Easter is a day of hope. A season of hope. It's a re-affirmaton of our beliefs… as Americans that better days are always ahead of us. Whether we're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu or Buddhist, whether faith and God shapes our daily lives completely or not at all, we believe with common effort and shared sacrifice, a brighter future is just around the bend. And we embrace our obligation to do something meaningful, something lasting, with the precious time we've been alloted on this Earth.
To see Obama's message in its entirety, play it below.
Happy Easter!
Lori Lakin Hutcherson, GBN Founder and Editor-in-Chief

Year after year, the United Kingdom is ranked among the top-10 countries on Earth in terms of roadway safety and lowest frequency of accidents.
This desirable standing on the global stage can be partially attributed to our strict MOT testing rules, which help ensure that all of our vehicles are driveable, well-equipped, and fully functional with regard to their safety features.
Changes to MOT Testing
Our government recently made some revisions to the regulations involving MOT tests. The one that has received the most news coverage is that cars older than 40 years no longer need this annual service, but odds are that your vehicle doesn't fall into this antique categorisation, so let's take a look at the amendments that will actually affect you:
- Firmer emission guidelines for diesel-operated vehicles
- New cars will now have to feature headlights that run during the daytime
- Oil leaks must be evaluated to prevent adverse environmental effects
- Testers will scrutinise the air pressure in your tyres more so than in years past
- Brake fluid contamination is also going to receive a lot more attention
However, the new MOT certificate and associated paperwork will be much simpler and more straightforward, so you shouldn't avoid visiting your local provider of the best MOT services in Exeter.
How Much Can I Expect to Pay For a MOT Test?
If you bring your vehicle to your community MOT centre, ideally one that is officially sanctioned by VOSA, you can obtain a comprehensive, meticulous MOT test for less than €30.00.
The check-up is expedited and very convenient, irrespective of your day-to-day schedule, so drive over to your neighbourhood facility today.

Johannesburg - It was something old and something new on Coke Studio this week when the legendary traditional group, Mahotella Queens worked with Ray Phiri's daughter Nonku Phiri. Fans were also introduced to Indie band, Match.
Here's what went down:
Mahotella Queens x Nonku Phiri
"Our experience on Coke Studio was amazing! We worked with a young child, Nonku Phiri, and we were surprised when we learnt that she is Ray Phiri's daughter," The Mahotella Queens' Hilda Tloubatla tells us. "She is brilliant and we weren't surprised - she's as talented as her father. So gifted."
What we loved most about the fusion:
The fusion brought back some of our favourite Mbaqanga sounds in legendary group, The Mahotella Queens, while adding a modern twist, thanks to Nonku's powerful voice.
Where to get the track:
The track is called Ziphatheni Kahle and you can get it here.
Indie outfit, Match, impressed the show's executive producers to earn themselves a spot on Coke Studio and it's not hard to see why. They bring a fresh sound to the studio that more than matched our expectations.
What we loved most about the session:
It's an amazing feeling when you hear a sound that simply takes your breath away. It's the kind of feeling we get when we hear Match and we can't wait to hear more from them.
The track is called Bravery and you can get it here.

Original Issue U.S. Civil War Blanket
Original Issue U.S. Civil War Blanket – This rare blanket is constructed of brown, or gray//brown, rough textured wool. It exhibits the regulation, U.S. Issue dark brown stripes woven (not printed) at each end, as well as the original chain-stitched "US" in the center of the blanket. These issue blankets had no edge binding as they were originally cut from large rolls or bolts of wool. Printed in 1861, The Revised Regulations for the Army of the United States, (United States War Department, Washington DC. Government Printing Office p. 488). stated that – "Army blankets are to be of domestic manufacture wool, grey, (with letters U. S. in brown or black yarn, four inches long, in the center of the blanket) to be seven feet long and five feet 6 inches wide to weigh five pounds each." This blanket conforms to these specifications (although somewhat shorter in length – apparently from one of many manufactured as the war started, by a manufacturer who did not adhere to the precise specifics of the regulations) and remains in overall, very good condition, exhibiting only a few minor stress pulls and holes and a crudely sewn field repair at one end. The blanket measures: Length – 66.5"; width – 64".

The most significant landscape change is the increase in water flow to the Winooski due to to the melting of the ice sheets. The melting of the snow in the woodland area surrounding the salmon hole has resulted in a thick silty mud collecting on the rocks. The warmer temperatures of the recent weeks correlate with more bud growth and a larger evidence of animals in the landscape.
Phenological Changes: Progression of Winter•March 5, 2018 • Leave a Comment
Classification of Site•March 5, 2018 • Leave a Comment
The Salmon hole is a unique ecosystem containing both elements of woodland and wetland. The salmon hole is a small body of water located at the end of the Winooski river surrounded by stratified rocks and lined with many forms of vegetation: such as maples, beeches, birches, and all types of mosses and lichen. The salmon hole harbors beavers and cranes along with foxes, skunks, and other terrestrial mammals. This ecosystem's large biodiversity and distinctive land formation makes it of great ecological importance.
Water & Ice•March 5, 2018 • Leave a Comment
The above picture is a profile view of a thick sheet of ice that washed ashore the salmon hole. These ice sheets, weeks prior, lined the waters edge but a rapid increase in temperature resulted in higher water levels relocating them to the rocks above.

Salmon Hole Tracks•March 5, 2018 • Leave a Comment

Bud growth observed on red maples and sugar maples; a tell tale sign of an approaching spring.
Human Impact•December 9, 2017 • Leave a Comment
The salmon hole ecosystem is influenced heavily by pollution from the surrounding the areas. The water quality of the Winooski is clearly impacted by the factory adjacent to the salmon hole. The woods and shoreline are littered with trash and debris. There are sewage lines draining directly into the Winooski that discolor the water and produce a vile smell. There need to be more efforts made to help improve the quality of the Salmon Hole and the Winooski River.

From 101greatgoals.com:
Chievo pulled off a fantastic result on Sunday – beating Lazio 4-0 at home.
The Flying Donkeys smashed Lazio in one of the most surprising early season results of Serie A so far.
Alberto Paloschi claimed the second goal for Chievo on 30 minutes, but it was all down to an incredible flying back heel from Riccardo Meggiorini on the touchline.
Have you ever seen an assist as awesome as this? I don't think I have. It's so perfect and instinctive it almost looks like he didn't mean to do it. Personally, I think he did but you're entitled to your own opinion. Either way I don't know what to call this. I'm so used to having the term "golazo" to describe spectacular goals that I'm at a loss for what to call a spectacular assist. An assitazo? That sounds kind of lame. I think we need to find a term for it.

I create unique, conceptually-focused experiences for you!
James Jay is a fellow juggler living and working in Berlin, Germany.
As you can read on my normal home page, my juggling acts range from robotic to poetic. The Juggling Jukebox act includes a high-tech version in which juggling motions create interactive electronic music.
For Circus Contraption I worked as a trio with jugglers Colin Ernst and Gary Luke in Seattle. My circus alter-ego Pavel Merzo now has his own website.
The artistic end of my work combines poetry with juggling, and features my trademark book manipulation.
At juggling festivals, I sometimes teach a multiplex juggling workshop. I wrote an Introduction to Multiplexing for the JIS, which is now on my site.
Until I pull together my complete Jugglers' Resources page, you can poke around my sitemap.
