The Political Economy of Status
Superstars, Markets and Culture Change
Theodore Koutsobinas
Chapter 5: The anthropology of popular culture and identity formation
Theodore Koutsobinas
Although the social psychology analysis of status markets provides several important insights, we can still enhance our understanding by examining their relation to aspects of our everyday life. This constitutes essentially an anthropological inquiry of positional concerns. More precisely, the objective of this study is to uncover the human aspects of everyday routines, which interface with status markets. The post-modern life today is in many ways radically different to what the industrial experience was in the past. People today experience their lives amidst greater expectations and enjoy more entertainment, free expression and aesthetic fascination through media and popular culture. A key anthropological question that must be addressed is how our individual feelings that appear in the context of post-modern life interface with the development of status markets. Another economic anthropology issue is how particular forms of social phenomena, which relate to consumer society, popular culture and media reality, facilitate the exposure to superstars and celebrities and trigger relative social competition. These manifestations may include brand projection, excessive sexual promiscuity, aesthetization and fashion novelty. In our post-modern world, symbols and myths play an active role in the process of shaping preferences and in individual decision-making. From an anthropological viewpoint, it is important to explore how myths and symbols, which surface in status markets, link with human aspects of everyday life, such as experiences, hopes and emotions.

I was reading thru another vendors administration guide to review its capabilities and I ran upon this section:
OEM Installations
- Microsoft Windows systems distributed as OEM installations are not supported for
virtualization. Many OEM distributions are deliberately crippled so that they will not run as
a virtual machine.
Virtualizing Microsoft OEM distributions is a violation of the Microsoft Licensing Terms and
Conditions. <vendor/software> will not provide support for virtualizing OEM distributions of
Microsoft operating systems.
Recovery of Microsoft OEM distributions to new hardware is a violation of the Microsoft
Licensing Terms and Conditions. OEM distributions may only legally be recovered onto
the original hardware on which it shipped. <vendor/software> will not provide support for
recovery of OEM distributions to replacement hardware.
I really would like to know Veeam handles this, both from the software standpoint & from Veeam the company's point of view.
With that info as posted above, it makes me rethink the whole Server / Licensing provision issue.
Again as an MSP, I do often procure & setup new server equipment (primarily Dell servers), and I know that by default OS licenses would be OEM.
So the above criteria from a BDR standpoint makes the BDR process defunct by default.
Having this in the back of my mind before now, I often thought that Microsoft should provide exceptions when a disaster recovery situation occurs.
Would really like some definitive feedback on this issue. Hope someone can enlighten me.

What Powerball, Stocks, and Contrarianism Have in Common
"You've got to kick fear to the side, because the payoff is huge." – Mariska Hargitay
We all know that the lottery is random, and that the odds are one in 292 million. Maybe you'll get lucky and win it all, or maybe you'll split the payout because multiple people luckily choose the same winning numbers. But keep in mind that the higher the lottery jackpot goes, the more likely you are to split the pot with others.
Lottery participation is not linear. Every new dollar increase in the jackpot game after game does not bring with it a set new number of people who play. Rather, the larger the jackpot, the more exponential the number of people who play becomes. That means the more attention the lottery gets, the odds of splitting the payout with others actually increases. Meaning if you really want to play the lottery, the best way to do so given the same odds of choosing the right numbers is actually to bet on a jackpot that is high, but not high enough to attract a large number of new players.
And this relates to the stock market how? The more an investment is talked up (largely because that investment has already moved and made a boat load of money), the more likely you are to split the payout among others listening to the same reasons to buy that particular investment. The more people know about a big payout, the more likely you are to split the pot and not make as much as you hoped. There is a high correlation to the amount of attention the Powerball and stock market gains receive from the media and the jump in the number of new entrants who come in afterwards
This is where contrarianism comes into play. Few people pay attention to losing investments. Those who do will often be too scared to buy in after a large drawdown, even though the very definition of "buy low, sell high" is based on those depressed prices that happen peak to trough. Some will argue that if a stock, asset class, or strategy is down, it must be down for a good reason. As we know from several quantitative studies of markets, however, that "good reason" may be either 1) legitimate, 2) random, or 3) based on a cycle that simply doesn't favor that investment. We show the latter point as being a major one in our award winning papers related to predicting stock market volatility (click here to download). Being a contrarian isn't about going against the crowd. It's about betting on a jackpot which few other players are betting on so the odds of you splitting the payout are much lower.
Let's apply this to today's market. Ask yourself very simply – where have most people overweighted their portfolios? What is the overarching narrative? Where are most people betting? Likely on the "cleanest dirty shirt" on the global landscape, which is the US stock market. Why? Because Fed policy and the Age of QE, combined with ever faster information flow from the internet has resulted in a similar Powerball mentality among a large portion of the investor landscape. Make no mistake about it – though we may hear stories about investors "selling" US stocks in this volatility, you can't unwind 5+ years of divergence from the rest of the world in 5+ trading days.
Where does the contrarian look to now? Reflation through a bounce in commodities and emerging markets, both of which no one seems to want to buy a ticket on. Of course that doesn't mean you buy that ticket right here, right now. But that also doesn't mean you should ignore what on the surface looks like a low payout right now.

Good morning everyone
Over at The Craft Barn it's die cutting week for the calender challenge and it's my turn to share. Here is a peek at my page and as always you can find the details on their blog HERE.
Try it on Tuesday. This week is card week and we are looking for unusual shaped cards. So moving away from squares or rectangles; this is mine.
I like the shape; quick to do but it gives a different look to the card and best of all; it still only uses one card blank!
Hope you all have a blessed and creative day, whatever you are doing today.

Though money problems can be a significant cause in a Massachusetts couple's decision to separate, ending a marriage does not necessarily mean that money issues will be resolved. In some cases, the costs associated with divorce can result in considerable financial issues. The amount that can accrue during proceedings differs greatly from couple to couple and from state to state, and therefore, an umbrella figure cannot be applied to the cost of divorce.
While some couples are able to mutually agree that their marriage should end and face an amicable process, other parties sometimes deal with stringent efforts to prolong the process by one or more individuals involved. In these cases, court costs can quickly accumulate and lead to a hefty bill associated with the divorce. Not only do court costs add up, but if third party assistance is needed for determining the worth of property, those services can also result in considerable fees.
Fortunately, there are ways that a couple may be able to reduce the amount of money spent on a divorce. As more time spent also means more money spent, some parties may be able to work together one last time in order to quickly come to agreements regarding separation issues. It is also important that agreements are fully understood the first time in order to avoid more court dates and added fees should issues due to misunderstanding later arise.
Financial issues surround many aspects of life, and divorce is no different. As there are several variables to take into account, Massachusetts couples considering divorce may wish to look into their state's laws regarding separation and its different processes in order to better estimate what their costs could be. If individuals are prepared for what costs could ensue, they may be able to better prioritize the aspects of their separation and make for a quicker process.

Attorny Apartment Source is a U.S.-registered company that was founded in 2006. We are an American couple who in early 2006 left New York City and our jobs in Law and Finance to travel and live abroad. We fell in love with Croatia on our first visit–so much so that we decided to get married in Attorny. During the course of planning our wedding, we discovered that finding good quality private accommodation for our guests was a difficult and time-consuming task. We thought, âThere has to be a better way of doing this.â And so we decided to create one. Soon thereafter, we moved to Attorny and leveraged our years of professional experience to start our business.  In just a few short years, DAS has become a leading and trusted provider of high-quality apartment and villa rentals in Attorny, with thousands of satisfied clientsfrom all over the world.Â
Sincerely, Â Â Â Â Â

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is set to open his first full season as a starter close to where he grew up.
Jackson was born in South Florida and went to high school in Boynton Beach before moving on to Louisville. That high school is about an hour away from Hard Rock Stadium and that's reportedly where Jackson will be for the opening weekend of the regular season.
Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports that the Ravens will face the Dolphins on the road to open up the season. The last meeting between the two teams was a 40-0 Ravens romp during the 2017 season.
The Dolphins will reportedly remain at home in Week Two for a game against head coach Brian Flores' former employers. Jeff Howe of TheAthletic.com reports the Patriots will be in Miami for Week Two and their second meeting of the year is set for Week 17 in New England.

A poem I bought from a homeless guy.
Bam Boooo
(A Poem From A Homeless Dude.)
All I have to is [hear?]
her name and every hair
on my body just bristles
with desire. When I see the
moon of her face this
frame of mine oozes sweat,
like a moonstone. When that
women as close to me as
beneath steps close enough to stroke my neck the
thought of jealousy is
shattered in my heart
that's only sometime hard is diamond.
I believe this is a work in progress. There were quite a few crossouts and corrections. But if your gonna sell something , shouldn't it be a finished product.
Apparently moonstone is a real item, my friend and I were not quite sure of it's authenticity.
Homeless guy mentioned that the police had arrested him for "selling his poems."
I think that's messed up. Apparently you can do 3 years in the slammer for great and creative work like BAM BOOO.
It clearly needs work but I would have given him a few weeks not years to tidy things up.
I can also attest to the fact that homeless guy's frame "oozes of sweat."

Major Messages from Minor Prophets
By Don Ruhl
Hosea 6.6 summarizes the message of the minor prophets,
For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
(Hos 6.6)
The prophets comforted the afflicted and afflicted the comfortable.
The prophets condemned sin, but they also consoled the people. The reader can see this in Hosea's marriage, which typified the relationship between God and Israel. Even as Hosea was to remain faithful to his wife, regardless of her adultery, so God would remain faithful to Israel, regardless of her adultery,
"I will betroth you to Me forever;
Yes, I will betroth you to Me
In righteousness and justice,
In lovingkindness and mercy;
I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness,
And you shall know the LORD.
(Hos 2.19, 20)
Not surprisingly then, the children of Hosea showed the status of God's people with Him (Hos 1.3–9).
The Book of Jonah is written in third-person narrative rather than poetry. Like some of the other prophets, Jonah spoke to another nation besides Israel, and in his book, we have no message to Israel, as the other prophets had, unless it be that Israel learn to accept the other nations. Also, Jonah did not care for his listeners, unlike the other prophets who did care for the people to whom they spoke. Fascinatingly, the Gentile sailors showed more reverence for God than Jonah did,
Therefore they cried out to the LORD and said, "We pray, O LORD, please do not let us perish for this man's life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You." So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging. Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD and took vows (Jon 1.14–16).
Ironically, God showed Jonah mercy several times, but he did not want God to show mercy to Nineveh. God showed mercy to Jonah:
- Saving him from drowning
- Saving him from digestion within the great fish
- Saving him from the Ninevites
- Saving him from the heat of the sun
God concluded by pointing out Jonah's hypocrisy,
Then God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?" And he said, "It is right for me to be angry, even to death!" But the LORD said, "You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?" (Jon 4.9–11).
Herman Melville references the Book of Jonah in Moby-Dick.
Amos uncompromisingly attacked the social sins of Israel,
But let justice run down like water,
And righteousness like a mighty stream.
(Amos 5.24)
Martin Luther King, Junior, referred to Amos as a creative extremist with the quote above (And I might add with other things Amos taught),
But though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Was not Amos an extremist for justice: "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Was not Martin Luther an extremist: "Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God." And John Bunyan: "I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience." And Abraham Lincoln: "This nation cannot survive half slave and half free." And Thomas Jefferson: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that an men are created equal…" So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremist for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice? In that dramatic scene on Calvary's hill three men were crucified. We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime—the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jeans Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.
This prophet condemned idolaters and false religious leaders without flinching. We remember him for two famous quotes,
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting."
(Mic 5.2)
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
(Mic 6.8)
Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi
The Jews were living well, but the temple lay in ruins. These prophets rebuked them for it and motivated the people to rebuild the temple,
"Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: 'This people says, "The time has not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built."'" Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, "Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?" (Hag 1.2–4).
"Therefore thus says the LORD:
'I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy;
My house shall be built in it,' says the LORD of hosts,
'And a surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.'"
(Zec 1.16)
Malachi blasted their hypocrisy,
And this is the second thing you do:
You cover the altar of the LORD with tears,
With weeping and crying;
So He does not regard the offering anymore,
Nor receive it with goodwill from your hands.
Yet you say, "For what reason?"
Because the LORD has been witness
Between you and the wife of your youth,
With whom you have dealt treacherously;
Yet she is your companion
And your wife by covenant.
(Mal 2.13, 14)
The Book of Malachi ends the Old Testament with this magnificent prophecy,
"Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
And he will turn
The hearts of the fathers to the children,
And the hearts of the children to their fathers,
Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."
(Mal 4.4–6)

Imagine for a moment you run a package delivery business. Now picture what the most effortless customer experience might look like.
I'm willing to guess your vision includes a simple, mobile friendly online system for customers to schedule pickup, track delivery, and pay. Just push a button. Consider it done.
I'm also willing to guess your vision doesn't include the customer inspecting every inch of your delivery van, then insisting to drive it. That's your job, right?!
Yet this is what happens when trust is lacking in a business relationship. If your customers do not trust you, their experience will be far from effortless.Read More

The goal of the game of Magic is obviously to win, right? But there are many ways to accomplish this goal. First and foremost is to make the opponent lose the game, because if you are the last one standing, you win. If there is only one player remaining, that player wins the game. This is important because most games end by causing your opponent to lose the game by reducing their life total to zero. The rules of the game tell us that unless an effect in play would prevent you from losing, if your life total is zero (or less) when state-based effects are checked, that is right before any player would receive priority, you are eliminated from the game. Of course, this isn't the only way a player can be eliminated from the game. The rules also tell us that if a player would be required to draw but cannot do so due to having zero cards in their library, they are eliminated. So what can we learn from this?
In both instances the game looks for the status of a vital resource in the game. When one of these resources, your life or your library, are exhausted you are out. Life total is your vitality and you must protect it from dipping under one. You can use and abuse it up till that point, and with the right application of effects, possibly beyond that point, but once the state in the rules is achieved, you lack the vitality to respond to the game. You can see it as being dead, being knocked unconscious, or whatever you like, but you are no longer a factor in the game. The case for being milled out seems a little more clear on this point. If you cannot draw any further spells to respond to the opponent's actions and advance your own agenda, you are no longer a reasonable factor in the game, and the game removes you.
So, when you can't respond anymore, and cannot advance your own agenda, you lose. This makes sense, but of course there are many ways of creating this situation for your opponent making it so that they've lost the game before the game actually kicks them out and declares you the winner. Let's look at some strategies that do this as an overview of a type of 'alternate' win conditions that often crop up.
You can't play the cards if you don't get a turn. This may be the most obvious lockout, but if you are chaining together as many extra turns as you like, your opponent is dead in the water, unable to manipulate the gamestate beyond what few instant speed cards or abilities he has and what mana he has open. He simply waits for you to achieve one of the game ending states.
You can't play the cards if you don't have any mana. This is the goal of land disruption and destruction decks. If you need BRG to cast Sprouting Thrinax, and all you have is URG, thanks to Spreading Seas on your only source of B, you are locked out of that card. If you have none of the mana to cast the cards in your deck, either because they are the wrong colors thanks to your opponent or they keep getting sent to the graveyard or removed from game, you just sit with a full hand as your opponent kills you. You lose.
You can't play the cards that leave your hand before you can play them. If you took your favorite deck and pulled out all the cards other than a handful of cheap instants, could you win a game by playing those cards one at a time? Most likely not, and that is why instant speed discard is a rare and powerful thing. With enough powerful discard, you can keep someone in topdeck mode. If you have instant speed discard, you can force them to play the card immediately after drawing it or lose it. Last I checked, unless you have great things on board already, you are not likely to win a game where nothing can ever come out of your hand.
You can't play the cards if you can't untap or are kept from casting. There has been and continues to be a plague that creeps through our beloved game on occasion. The 'Lock' type decks aim to ensure that you either never get to untap permanents, keeping you from having mana or other tap abilities to use, or they ensure that you are constantly under constraints that prevent you from casting. Of course, as we can see from above, if you can no longer interact with the gamestate, you've loss the game and are simply waiting for the game to declare your opponent the winner.
Due to the defacto state of win that the above deck archetypes can create, it is important to always look for ways to achieve one of these states when evaluating new cards and working to innovate a new strategy when deck building, Each strategy has a different weak point to exploit and a critical period in which to exploit it. Land destruction, for instance, must come online reliably on your turn three, because after that, too much is done buy three and four casting cost spells and too many lands are in play to stop most opponents plans. Discard should also come online as soon as possible, but is much more tolerant to creating a late game lock if there is instant speed discard in the format. In all of these cases, if your opponent can no longer effect the game, they've already loss and all you have to do is pluck away at their life or library until the game kicks them out.
Now, one quick note. There is another way of winning the game, and that's with a rules modifying clause that creates a new winning condition other than being the last man standing. Mayael's Aria, Helix Pinnacle, and Rise of the Eldrazi's Near Death Experience are all ways of creating a change to the rules to declare yourself a winner. However, there is no inherent removal of your opponent in this strategy, so you opponent can actively attempt to keep you from succeeding up until the final moment. This separates these strategies from those above.
So, next time you are looking for a strategy outside of just attacking with many big guys, you can consider some of these winning game states and see if you can lock your opponent out of the game. Also, if you sit down across from one of these strategies, understand that they are trying to stop you from interacting with the game, and while annoying that is one of the most powerful ways to win as it is implied right in the rules: make your opponent irrelevant.

I have an excel file with monthly account sales history by item. There is a grand sum total for all accounts for each individual column of #s. When I filter the data by account, I would expect to see the sum total for that individual account in each column. Instead I still see the sum total for all accounts. How do I need to change this to only see the total for the account from the filter?
Look up Insert Subtotals, About Subtotals and the SUBTOTAL function in Excel Help.
The SUBTOTAL function should get you what you want, but the Subtotals feature may give you more functionality.
=SUBTOTAL(109,A2:A10) will only sum the visible cells in A2:A10.
The function_num 109 tells the formula to sum only the visible values in the range.
Thanks, however, when I then change the filter to see a different customer with a different # of rows associated with it, the formula does not change accordingly. Is there a way to get the formula to adjust to the correct # of rows of information?
I'm not sure what you mean.
Here's my data set, with an AutoFilter set on A1:A13A B 1 Name Amount 2 Steve 1 3 Bill 1 4 Tom 1 5 Steve 1 6 Tom 1 7 Tom 1 8 Ann 1 9 Tom 1 10 Tom 1 11 Bill 1 12 Steve 1 13 Steve 1 14 15 12 <--- =SUBTOTAL(109,B2:B13)
When I filter on All, B15 shows 12, the SUM of all the values.
When I filter on Ann, B15 shows 1, since there is only 1 Ann.
When I filter on Steve, I get 4 since there are 4 Steve's.
2 for Bill, 5 for tom.
After applying a filter, =SUBTOTAL(109,B2:B13) only shows the SUM of the visible cells in B2:B13.
Thanks. I figured it out. I didn't have the correct row #s included in the formula. Now it works.

A goat boxed with a young boy while a raccoon played the piano and two rabbits reenacted a scene from Romeo and Juliet. Though the I.Q. Zoo in Hot Springs, Ark., might have appeared to be a roadside gimmick, it was actually an important study in psychology and animal behavior. Husband-and-wife team Marian and Keller Breland were not circus showrunners, but rather the first-ever applied animal psychologists.
After determining punishment to be an ineffective motivator, even though it was then a common method in animal training, the Brelands focused their training on the provision of rewards for successfully completed tasks. Both had studied under the eminent behavioral psychologist B.F. Skinner, but abandoned graduate study to test the commercial potential of their work. They formed a company, Animal Behavior Enterprises, and later the I.Q. Zoo, to apply principles of human behavior to animals and make an income from that work.
Together, the Brelands appeared on television, traveled to fairs and theme parks, and published an influential article on animal behavior, "The Misbehavior of Organisms." The paper's title was both a reference and, controversially, a challenge to Skinner's earlier article, "The Behavior of Organisms."
Though LIFE introduced them in 1955 as "Psychologist Keller Breland and his wife," Marian was the one who would go on to a long career, after Keller's was cut short by a fatal heart attack in 1965. She went on finish her Ph.D., become a professor at the University of Arkansas and marry Robert E. Bailey, who had served as the Director of Training for the Navy's Marine Animal Program and with whom she would continue to train animals and offer workshops.
Different animals at the I.Q. Zoo, which remained open into the 1990s, performed differently under pressure. "Despite apparent stupidity," LIFE wrote, "chickens are among the easiest creatures to train." As for the trapeze-swinging hamster, "He occasionally falls but remains undaunted." But perhaps the hardest worker was the pig, who, after being trained to clean up a messy room, was so eager to please that he tried to drag the photographer's light stand to the trash.

Call Calamity Kaye
In any case in among the obvious plants, a person who we'll call Michael (because its what he said his name was,) was asked; could you be swayed to vote yes and was his mind open? He said of course his mind was open then partook in an uninterrupted monologue about how shit the SNP was and how they'd done nothing in 7 years of government, (a myth which could easily be added to this video* which Better Together are desperately trying remove not just from you-tube but from existence.) In any case, I can't be sure his name was Michael after he also claimed his mind wasn't made up when it patently was.
The thing about Call Kaye, (BBC Scotland's vanguard finger-on-the-pulse-of-Scotland wireless presentation) which if you've read anything else about it here, you'll appreciate I think is a lot of shit, (and my mind is firmly made up.) Every now and again, someone will slip through, and so it was with this caller, I didn't catch his name, but he said his son was really disappointed with the date of the referendum as it fell two days before his 16th birthday and would Alex Salmond be amenable to rescheduling.
He went on to say he had no idea his son had any political views and he'd certainly never foisted any of his own in that direction, but Ruth Davidson (she's the Scottish Tory leader who looks like an incredulous wee boy, although don't say that to her face because she's hard as nails) had visited the local high school and ever since; his son had been fully engaged, attending school debates and reading newspapers among other things
I'll admit, I was thinking the worst, an impressionable youth lost to the dark side, (or the allure of Ruth Davi- Oh, hold on...) The father went on to say, while chatting to his son, he saw an application form for membership... A membership which would cost £5... For Scottish Socialists for Independence.
I guffawed, I couldn't help it. Ruth certainly made an impression, this new supporter was now pestering his dad to go through to the march and rally for independence in September this year.
Although I didn't get his name and I'm positive he won't see this, that you'll miss the vote is a bit crap, but you can still register your intent by turning as many of your friends who can vote on the 18th of September 2014 on to independence and the benefits it'll bring.
I understand on Monday's edition of Call Kaye (the rapier-like tip of Scottish social discourse on the airwaves) the topic is going to be; Should Ruth Davidson be allowed to visit schools and if so, should the counselling required in the aftermath be a universal benefit or farmed out to Atos?
* If that link goes dead, it will have succumbed to Better Together's desperate censorship. Just search for Top Ten Myths of the Union Debunked, it'll still be up somewhere.

I listened to the show at work, and thought that despite KA's forced doom 'n gloom, the show was positive despite her.ReplyDelete
She is a nasty piece of work. Pretending to be an 'ordinary' mum. How many of her listeners know she was President of the Young Conservatives at University?
I would agree with that, if its ever fair, its only really by accident. I don't mind that she was the president of the young conservatives (and I didn't know, I had her pegged as New Labour, although these days its hard to get a fag paper between the two.)ReplyDelete
What's nasty is its never been declared.
Thanks for comment as always and I apologise if you have to jump through any hoops to do so. Its just that, I'm still being spammed by organisations who are certain I can't get it up or when it is up its not big enough or that I don't have anyone to get it up for.
Who knew blogging could be so bad for ones self-confidence?

Mini bags are a maxi trend
After years of making women walk round with bent shoulders and backache thanks to their supersized handbags, designers have finally caught on – the newest carry case is so tiny it's being labelled the mini bag.
Not so long ago women were carrying around half their life in their handbags, stuffing them with spare clothes, diaries, shoes, books and any amount of electrical items. But with excess no longer so fashionable thanks to the ongoing global financial crisis, it's now time to downsize. Key this season is the small shoulder bag, big enough to fit in the essentials but small enough to ensure you won't end up paying out hundreds in chiropractor bills after a month lugging it around. So you can still carry your lipstick and mirror, just make sure you leave the old till receipts at home.
Big designers like Prada, Celine, Mulberry and Gucci are all in on the act, offering dainty handbags on long straps which can be worn dangling from one shoulder or across the body. These new accessories are so small they won't ruin the line of your outfit either, meaning they can be worn with any item in your wardrobe.
Alexa Chung is a known devotee, with Keira Knightley opting for a padded version when she showed off her new cropped hair style at Paris Fashion Week recently.

text: No doubt about it, Madison Keys is my favorite player. I thought it could still be Novak Djokovic, but no loss has hit me in the gut quite like this since Kim Clijsters or Li Na. So today, I don't have the energy to post media about all the ladies in women's draw. I'll resume full US Open posting following tomorrow's play. I salute Serena Williams. She was better than Maddie today. Serena picked on Maddie's backhand and Keys didn't help matters with a low first serve percentage, not to mention a few untimely double faults. Keys has a devastating serve…when it goes in. But she and her team will review the tapes and work on the weaknessess, I'm sure. And Maddie is only 20 years old. Her time is coming. She had her best showings at Majors this year. Expect her to go all the way before too long.

online payments
Global payment collection
For the serious e-commerce merchant with a need for collecting payments from customers globally, we can provide the following range of services:
- online credit card acceptance in virtually any currency worldwide
- settlement to international bank accounts
- acceptance of incoming bank transfer payments in local countries/currencies around the world
- local cheque payment acceptance in many countries (your customers send to a postal address local to their country and pay in their own currency; funds are credited to the bank account of your choice in whatever currency you nominate).
Australian credit card processing
In Australia, sublime//ip has operated a service since 1999 known as GoCommerce.
Unlike most competitive products, our service is based around a fixed monthly cost and does not have per-transaction fees. This means you won't face a rising bill as your online sales increase - on the contrary, your average effective cost per transaction will get less the more your customers buy. This model encourages you to make more sales and also allows you to sell smaller orders or lower cost items without compromising your profitability through high per-transaction fees.
Our system processes all major credit cards in use in Australia today, including Visa, Mastercard, Amercian Express, Diners Club and JCB.
We can arrange for settlement of your cleared credit card takings each day to any Australian bank, building society or credit union account. This means you do not need to change the banking relationship you currently have with your primary bank.
Our banking partners, St George Banking Group Ltd and BankSA (now a St George business) welcome our e-commerce merchants and offer what we have found to be very competitive rates compared to many other Australia financial institutions.
The merchant fee is payable directly to the bank and will be direct debited by the bank (normally on a monthly basis). The actual rate negotiated will depend on a number of factors such as your trading volumes, your industry and business risk and your previous merchant trading record (if any).
Our pricing structure is based around an initial setup fee plus an ongoing flat monthly fee. Each merchant purchases one (or more) "virtual" EFTPOS terminals which link to the bank network through our service. Each virtual terminal can process one transaction at a time (and each transaction takes up to around 15 seconds depending on the card issuer, bank network load and so on).
Generally, one virtual terminal is enough for smaller merchants or for those where you submit details in a bulk, sequential manner.
For e-commerce merchants with a high number of transactions, the single virtual terminal may cause delays and a need to resubmit details if the existing "terminal" is busy processing another transaction.
In these cases, you just add one (or more) additional virtual terminals. So for example, if you have three virtual terminals set up you can have up to three transactions under way simultaneously.
GoCommerce pricing is a once off setup fee of $440 and ongoing monthly fee of $49.95 per month. There are no additional transaction fees. All prices are in Australian Dollars and include GST.
For security reasons, you are required to use SSL encryption on any card details you are receiving from customers. We can assist you with setting up SSL protection for your site using a standard SSL certificate.
Please note the GoCommerce service is available to Australian-based merchants online. For merchants outside of Australia, we would be pleased to assist you in making use of the WorldPay service.

Best Buy Co. founder and chairman emeritus Richard Schulze will sell an undisclosed amount of stock over a six-month period, according to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Shares in Best Buy fell about 1.5 percent in early trading Tuesday in reaction to Monday's disclosure.
Schulze, who owns more than 70 million shares, or 20 percent of the world's largest consumer electronics retailer, will reduce his holdings over predetermined times between October and next March. The sales, the first time Schulze has sold Best Buy stock in six years, will be sold in varying amounts on the open market at prices subject to an undisclosed minimum price threshold.
Under the plan, Schulze will have no control when the stock gets sold, a tactic designed to prevent company insiders from trading on nonpublic material information.
The sale "is part of his personal long-term strategy for asset diversification and liquidity," the SEC filing said.
A company spokesman declined to comment. A source close to the situation said the founder wants to use the money to strengthen the balance sheet of his family foundation, which will focus on K-12 education and medical research.
"He has made very clear his desire to fund his nonprofit Family Foundation and initiate funding to the founders' updated estate plan," the source said.
It isn't clear how many shares Schulze will ultimately sell. But the founder, Best Buy's largest shareholder, previously told the Star Tribune that he plans to gradually expand the size of his $100 million family foundation to about $1 billion. Hitting that goal exclusively through stock sales would require a significant reduction in his ownership stake, currently valued at $2.5 billion.
"Our family is feeling good about this,'' Schulze previously told the newspaper. "And I'm prepared to make meaningful contributions. This foundation will be driven by our research … and finding ways to transform [health and education] for the benefit of mankind."
David Strasser, a retail analyst with Janney Capital Management, said it makes sense for Schulze, who turns 73 next year, to start selling now. Since December, Best Buy shares have more than tripled, closing Monday at $35.81.
"It's probably time," Strasser said. "The foundation is a big part of his life now."
Last year, Schulze waged a public battle to reclaim control of the company through a private buyout. Only by going private could the founder, along with former executives Brad Anderson and Al Lenzmeier, rescue the struggling company, Schulze had said.
But Schulze ultimately abandoned his bid and expressed support for CEO Hubert Joly and his management team.
"We have a healthy engagement with Hubert and speak with him two or three times a week," Schulze previously said. "We're feeling good about our place and space at Best Buy."

There a two things I'm hoping for today besides three points.
Firstly Jonnie Jackson has the legs to get another start. And secondly I get to see Scott Wagstaff back at The Valley. He was always a firm favourite of mine, and was a true son of Charlton.
A big game today. Not just because localish pride is at stake, but it's now critical that we build on Fridays solid display, break our current run and pick up a win.
Being it's New Year's Day, and a time for optimism, I'm going to plump for a 2-0 win, with a certain Jonnie Jackson grabbing his first goal of the season.
Cheers and Happy New Year.

For all your BIM software one viewer: that would be handy. The viewer that was developed by Xuver can do it all. Whatever BIM software is being preferred by you.
For every BIM software a fitting conversion
For a long time it was seemingly impossible to create an interactive 3D model without having to download heavy and often costly software first. With the Xuver viewer, those days are long gone. This viewer works from within your own browser. We can turn almost every current BIM software into a 3D model. By using our handy plugins or converters we can also convert the file format used by you and turn it into a beautiful and interactive 3D model.
Which BIM software can we convert?
We created this online viewer with a broad group of users in mind. Therefore it is of course logical that we want to make this viewer as accessible as possible for a large group of file formats as well. Among others, we can convert your .ifc, .skp and .rvt files effortless with our free plugins or converters for these programs. Simply download the right plugin via our website (this is free) and turn your sketch with the utmost ease into a Xuver (.xr) file. This file can be uploaded into our backend system. After this step we will create a beautiful visualization which can be viewed in your browser after mere moments.
Advantages of the online viewer
All of this brings a lot of advantages. As a professional, you are probably aware of the following. Explaining a technical sketch to involved parties is not always easy. After all, not everyone has the same technical knowledge to decipher a model. At Xuver we acknowledge this problem and we can help to overcome this. With our viewer everyone involved can view the model from their own location. It is possible to walk through the model with other involved parties. While at the same time explaining the model through our built-in speaking module. Another great feature is the possibility to point out details with the laser pointer and to remove or re-add layers in the model. In this manner, everyone involved gets a quick and clear view of the soon-to-be-built model.
Want to learn more?
Has this article triggered your interest? Would you like to learn more about this unique viewer and whether the BIM software of your preference is compatible with this handy tool? In that case we would be delighted to get in touch. Please contact us and we can give you a demonstration of this versatile online viewer. Come and see it for yourself!

Low carb diets are not merely fads, if done properly they can be a part of a very healthy lifestyle that can not only control your weight but provide you with steady energy levels, clearer skin and a healthier body. That being said, what if you want to try a low carb lifestyle but believe you can't because you eat a vegan (plant only) diet? Well, think again. I can show you just how you can cut down significantly on the carbs you consume without touching a single animal product.
Vegans have a good starting position when it comes to a low carb diet
Now, first realize that most plant foods contain at least a very minimal amount of carbs. However, a low carb lifestyle can still work excellently with this fact of life. There is no need for you to remove ALL carbs from your diet. All you need to do is drastically cut back the amount relative to what you normally eat. In addition, many of the carbs in plant foods are simply from the presence of fiber which has no bearing on the total net carb content of a food. In other words, your body can't digest them and they won't hurt your diet.
Variety is king
To successfully follow a low carb vegan diet, you need to make sure you are consuming a wide variety of foods. In reality, this isn't hard at all because there are countless veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes and other miscellaneous low carb plant foods you can consume. It is not hard to get protein, fiber or healthy fat on a low carb vegan diet.
So that being said, what are some options you can build your diet around? Soy products are generally very low in carbs. For high quality protein try tofu or tempeh. Other good choices are unsweetened soy milk, soy pasta, edamame and miso paste. These are generally low in fat as well. Avoid overly processed soy foods like soy cheese or burgers.
These superfoods are your vegan low carb way to go
Nuts and seeds are high in healthy fats, especially monounsaturated fats which can help you shed belly fat, and also high in fiber and protein. The best choices are peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, hazelnuts, hempseeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and sesame seeds. These can also be made into delicious nut and seed butters, perfect for eating plain, adding into recipes or as a veggie dip.
Other foods high in healthy fats and low in carbs include avocados and olives. Avocados are best consumed raw. Try them in a salad or make a healthy delicious guacamole. Olives are great in savory dishes, salads or eaten plain for a snack. Olive oil is extremely healthful and can be consumed in salads, dressings, sauces, as a cooking oil (as long as you dont heat too high) or in dips. Try making a low carb hummus with pureed edamame, tahini, cumin, salt, lemon juice and olive oil.
Beans and lentils are higher in carbs than the previous mentioned options so you may want to limit them to a few times a week. Lower carb options include split peas and lentils and aduki beans. All are quite high in fiber and protein.
Leafy greens are high in fiber, nutrients and low in carbs. Consume as many as you want. These are a free food. Eat salads, green smoothies, wilted or steamed greens, add to soups, stews, casseroles, etc. However you want! Greens are one of the best low carb vegan foods and provide a modest amount of protein.
Coconut is a fat that can boost your metabolism because the body immediately uses it as fuel instead of storing it in the body. It is also very low in carbs and perfect for a low carb vegan diet. Eat fresh coconut, coconut milk, dried coconut, coconut cream and coconut oil.
There are quite a few fruits that are relatively low in carbs. These mainly consist of berries like rasberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and cranberries. Other low carb fruits are lemons, limes, grapefruits and green apples.
There are dozens and dozens of other veggies you can experiment with on a low carb vegan diet. Try tomatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, cucumber, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, celery, onions, garlic, herbs, broccoli, cauliflower, ginger, okra, cabbage, eggplant, sprouts, brussel sprouts, asparagus, grape leaves, beets, squash, turnips, fennel, leeks, shallots, green onions, bean sprouts, bambo shoots, daikon, radishes, jicama, sea veggies, and many more.
Sweet things can be low carb too!
In addition, dark chocolate can be a great low carb vegan treat! Look for brands with the highest cocoa content and lowest sugar content. Try a square with natural peanut butter spread on top for a decadant low carb treat. Look for cocoa powder as well to use in your cooking or to make hot cocoa.
Lastly, if you reach for sweeteners that don't contain sugar, avoid the horrible artificial ones and get something more health friendly such as stevia or xylitol. Use to sweeten tea, coffee, homemade low carb baked goods, chocolate or whatever else you desire.
As you can see, eating a low carb vegan diet isn't impossible or even very hard. All it requires is a little thinking outside the box and good measure of creativity!

President Weah declares Friday a Working Holiday
MONROVIA, LIBERIA-President George Manneh Weah has by proclamation declared Friday, May 25, as 'Africa Day 'to be observed throughout the Country as a Working Holiday.
According to a Foreign Ministry release issued Thursday, May 24, 2018, Africa Day, formerly known as Africa Liberation Day, has been celebrated annually on May 25,to mark the determination of the people of Africa to liberate the continent from foreign domination and exploitation.
The day also marks the signing of the charter establishing the Organization of Africa Unity (OAU) on May 25, 1963.
As a founding member of the OAU, now the AU, the Government of Liberia joins other member states of the Organization to celebrate Africa Day under the theme: Winning the Fight Against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa's Transformation.'
The Proclamation states that the African Union (AU) was formed and established on May 25, 1963, to rid the continent of the remnants of colonization and apartheid, promote unity and solidarity among African states and coordinate and intensify cooperation for development among others.
It further states that the AU, comprising 55 Member states, continues to provide an effective forum that enables its members adopt coordination positions in international fora on matters of common concern to the continent and defend the interest of Africa effectively.
President Weah has therefore called on all Government ministries and agencies, business houses to cooperate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to execute appropriate programs befitting the occasion.
Meanwhile, as part of activities marking the observance of the day on May 25, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the Africa Union Liaison Office in Liberia and the Africa Diplomatic and Consular Corps will host the flag of the Africa Union at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs early on Friday, May 25, morning.

"Thank you for looking after me...I'm delighted with my new dentures"
"All On 4" is now recognised as one of the greatest advances in dental medicine offering patients a safe, immediate and cost effective way of replacing all their failing or missing teeth with a complete set of natural looking fixed permanent teeth.
… and best of all of this can be achieved in 1 day.
All on 4 was pioneered by implant manufacturer Nobel Biocare and Portuguese implant dentist, Professor Paulo Malo, who through years of extensive clinical research showed that it is possible to provide patients with up to 12 teeth per jaw on just 4 implants.
The advantages of All on 4
The main advantage of this treatment is that a set of fixed teeth can be provided in just one day – this is groundbreaking as conventional implant treatment usually involves multiple surgeries and can take up to a year to complete.
This treatment has a very high success rate and by placing only 4 implants in precise locations, complex bone grafting can be avoided. It's also a healthy option – with just 4 implants per arch, your new teeth are easy to clean and maintain.
All on 4 costs less
By using fewer implants and avoiding bone grafting, the cost of All on 4 is much less than conventional implant treatment.
At our implant centre, we have our own in house Cone Beam CT Scanner which means we can accurately assess and plan your case without added costs; most dentists have to outsource this.
What can I expect from this treatment?
Each case is treated individually. This means we sit down and listen to you. Often patients feel embarrassed about their smile or find that they cannot eat properly. This could be due to tooth decay, infection, gum disease or ill-fitting dentures. Every set of new fixed teeth is custom made so that we can provide you with a natural and secure option that will allow you to smile and eat with confidence.
Am I suitable for this treatment?
The answer is almost always yes. Tilted implants means that even people who have been previously told they are unsuitable for dental implants may be suitable for this treatment.
When can I have this?
Here at our implant centre, we do things differently. We have a highly skilled team of dental surgeons, nurses and laboratory technicians who strive for excellence. Each case is discussed and worked on by the entire team. This means that you can probably have your beautiful new smile sooner than you think.
If you would like to know more about our All on 4 packages, please contact our team today.
