Swiss investor and frequent Barron's Roundtable participant Felix Zulauf was featured in the lastest Barron's interview, a piece entitled, "The Pain of Deleveraging Will Be Deep and Wide".
Here's an excerpt in case you missed it:
"Barron's: It's been an unprecedented time in the financial markets, with Lehman filing for bankruptcy protection, Merrill Lynch being bought by Bank of America and AIG getting rescued by the U.S. government. What's the fallout going to be?
Zulauf: The leveraging-up in this cycle is reversing, and we are now deleveraging. When a huge system -- that is, the global credit system dominated by the investment-bank giants that have been the major creators of credit in the last cycle -- turns down, the fallout is going to be terrible.
Deleveraging is a very painful process, and will run longer and deeper than anybody can imagine. I've been fearful of this.
So far, what we're seeing is the pain in the financial system. Later on, we'll see the echo effect of the pain in the real economy. I can't understand economists talking about no recession or mild recession. This is the worst financial crisis since the 1930s. It's different than the '30s, but is the worst since then, and the consequences will be very, very painful for virtually everybody in our economies."
What I found surprising about this piece is that Zulauf (who always seems very on the mark in his usual Barron's appearances) spoke in favor of the recent US government bailouts and the latest plans by the Treasury to purchase mortgage-backed assets from the banks.
In fact, Zulauf added that in order for the plan to work, the Treasury purchase plan should be "at least $1 trillion in size" and accompanied by Fed rate cuts.
He seems to be taking the so-called pragmatist's view of a need for government intervention in the market, in order to avoid the much-feared and widely-trumpeted global financial meltdown that may result in its absence (as the backers claim).
Anyway, have a look for yourself and see what Zulauf has to say about the bailouts, the financial deleveraging process, the global economy, government debt and long-term interest rates, and more.

An animated film for a premium cable channel, an exhibition at the Bibliotheque Nationale, posters torn down during the World Cup by fans who thought they would jinx their teams . . . Little by little, Le Dernier Cri emerges from the fanzine ghetto
...Exceptional both in the quality and the diversity of its production, this association of French, Swiss, Finnish, American and Japanese graphic artists is led by the dynamic Pakito Bolino who, for the last six years, with the help of his mischievous accomplice Caroline Sury, has been printing and editing their images. Along with their radically edgy music, their work remains stubbornly independent and politically incorrect.
A contemporary point of view favoring a single technique, serigraphy, is adapted to their objective: to contribute a vision of the future made up of combustible fragments of the present.
Their principal merit? The willful combination of ingredients generally perceived as heterogeneous: mangas and Art Brut, virtual reality and Expressionism, free-form drawing and the dance of death, pornography, noise, violence and spoken language, jubilation and lyric effusion. Not because of some neo-punk dandyism, not for the simple pleasure of disorder, although some of their provocations are as joyous as they are inevitable, but because Le Dernier Cri, from its very beginning has chosen to make the raw material of our everyday reality the measure of all things.

How to prevent catastrophic data loss on handheld devices
This article first appeared in Labour Research magazine.
In the course of the last decade, two colleagues of mine -- both senior trade unionists -- have suffered catastrophic losses of data. One lost his address book and calendar when his hand-held device died. The other lost all his handheld's calendar entries when he synced the device to his desktop PC, which had contracted a virus, thereby wiping out what was on the handheld.
There are two important lessons I draw from these experiences.
First of all, backups are essential -- but not in the way we used to do them.
And second, use of open source operating systems is no longer a luxury for the geeks.
In the first case, which took place nearly a decade ago, my friend understood the importance of backing up his handheld device. Which is why he left it with his PA to do it regularly. He did not know how to backup the device himself. When it did crash, it turned out that the PA hadn't done a backup for some time.
Backups cannot be dependent on others; each of us needs to take personal responsibility for backing up vital data on what is, after all, a personal device.
But backups also cannot be voluntary. They cannot be something on our to-do list that never gets done, that we need to be reminded about or find time for.
Backing up should be an integral part of the process of using handheld devices.
A good example is the integration of web-based tools on an iPhone or iPod Touch. I maintain my task list on a website called Toodledo. Every time I access the list using my iPod Touch, the tasks listed on the device and those on the web are synchronized. I am not asked if I want to synchronize, and I do not have to remember to do so. The software on the iPod knows to do this.
If I lose my iPod, I've got the latest version of my task list on the web. If the website crashes, I have a version on the iPod.
The same is true with my calendar. The iPod's built-in calendar can automatically sync to my Google calendar. If I lose one, I will have access to the other.
It's not a question of making the traditional backups of data, where there's a clear distinction between the primary location of the data and its backup, which is somewhere else (such as on an external disk). The two task lists, on the device and on the web, are equally useful and accessible.
The other lesson relates to viruses and other forms of malware that cause endless headaches to many of our colleagues. Of course you can keep some of this under control by using the very latest anti-virus software, keeping it updated on a daily basis, but there is a far better solution.
If my colleague who lost all his diary entries due to a virus had been using the open source Linux operating system on his laptop, it is highly unlikely that the problem would have arisen in the first place.
While it is theoretically possible to have viruses on a Linux machine, it is highly unlikely. The system is inherently more secure than Windows, and because its user base is so much smaller than that of Microsoft's, virus writers don't target it.
The use of web-based backups to data on handhelds, and of Linux on laptops and desktops, is not common among the trade unionists I know. And as a result, a number of them have suffered the kind of catastrophic data loss that can now easily be avoided.

Miley Cyrus was M.I.A. Wednesday.
The "Wrecking Ball" singer's boyfriend, actor and University of Southern California student Patrick Schwarzenegger, had dinner with another former Disney Channel actress: Shake It Up's Bella Thorne. Schwarzenegger, 21, and Thorne, 17, dined with director Scott Speer, 32, at L.A.'s Mud Hen Tavern. (There's another Disney Channel connection, as Speer once dated High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale.)
Cyrus needn't worry about Thorne moving in on her man, however. The Duff star posed for a picture with Schwarzenegger during Wednesday's outing. "With my homie @patrickschwarzenegger if you aren't already following him you should," Thorne Instagrammed. "Disclaimer *** we are just friends."
Similarly, part-time model Schwarzenegger also dished on his night out via social media, telling his Twitter followers, "Good little dinner meet with @MrScottSpeer and @bellathorne cooooool stuff coming."

10 Agen Domino Trends to Wait in 2018
What were the greatest Agen Domino of 2017, and what visual communication patterns will be huge in 2018? As the year attracts to a nearby, we asked driving fashioners and studio heads to ponder the most recent a year, recognize the greatest developments existing apart from everything else and estimate what will be enormous in the new year.
Similarly as when we presented to you the greatest delineation patterns of 2017, this isn't tied in with following the inventive crowd: it's tied in with assessing where the outline business is at the present time.
Regardless of whether you utilize these patterns to be propelled or move relentlessly the other way, the data here can help educate your outline decisions in 2018. Read on for our expectations of the greatest visual computerization patterns of 2018
10 Agen Domino Trends to Wait in 2018
#1. The 'Little Big Idea'
The plan topic of 2017 was huge effect, however incomprehensibly the best work accomplished it by truly sweating the little stuff," says Chris Moody, inventive chief at Wolff Olins. "The things I have discovered the most striking are the consommés – those occupations that attention on something particular and utilize it to make something with clearness, peculiarity and excellence: the 'Little Big Idea'.
"This year was about straightforward thoughts, executed with knowledge and understanding to make genuine, radical effect. W+K's work on the Dutch ladies' football group was a little logo change that figured out how to address legacy, man centric society and even what a logo remains for. The Moonpig rebrand accomplished more with the kerning of an 'o' than a thousand vivified toon characters ever could.
"On the off chance that 2018 will be as clamorous, channel-jumping and insane as this year might have been, exquisite rationale will be the best way to slice through."
#2. More daring hues
"2017 has been an uproar of shading, with visual originators making huge, intense decisions," says Shaun Bowen, imaginative accomplice at B&B studio. "Maybe with an end goal to motivate inspiration following a troublesome year in 2016, we've seen a convergence of brilliant hues, regularly with level designs and just a single or two hues utilized at any one time," he includes.
"An ever increasing number of brands are additionally utilizing their center bundling tone as the sponsorship shading in blurbs and supporting illustrations.
Max Ottignon, fellow benefactor at London marking organization Ragged Edge, recounts a comparable story. "We've seen our customers getting more daring," he says. "Fluoro hues and conflicting tones have moved far from tense new companies into the standard. eBay's new character has shading comfortable heart, utilizing it as an approach to convey the two its expansiveness and comprehensive identity."
Mireia Lopez, innovative chief at DARE, agrees. "We're seeing the utilization of energetic hues in juxtaposition with intense symbolism," she says. "This can be viewed as a reaction to moderation and material outline, from utilizing blank areas and clean formats to surprising shading mixes and unmistakable shifted typographical styles – and is over all zones of marking and additionally advanced.
"The new Dropbox mark course, for instance, is doing this with its imaginative utilization of pictures, and corporate personalities, for example, NatWest are moving to a crisp and current feel, utilizing the capability of brighter hues to increment higher change rates. In my field, advanced, this improvement is most likely due the way that destinations can stack speedier and screens on telephones are greater, so it's less demanding to play with pictures."
"Utilizing splendid hues enables content remain to out from image filled web-based social networking," notes Nathan Sandhu, author and inventive executive of Jazzbones Creative.
#3. Brutalism is back
"Despite the fact that it's been around for some time, Brutalism is one of the visual communication patterns I've seen truly commence this year," says Lopez. "The Southbank Center's rebrand by North is a conspicuous illustration. The straightforward marking and typeface utilized have been enlivened by and run extremely well with Southbank Center's brutalist design.
"We've additionally certainly observed website architecture being affected by the standards of the development," she includes. "Balenciaga's over-useful, hostile to tasteful site is the most great appearance of this in my view.'
Our article Are brutalist destinations the web's punk shake minute? investigates this pattern in website architecture terms inside and out.
#4. Hyper mark refining
"All through 2017, plan has been getting easier, yet wealthier," says Ottignon. "In reality as we know it where client encounter is above all else, complex brand frameworks impede the substance. Capacity abrogates unnecessary outline points of interest, and each brand resource needs to win its place."
So marks are endeavoring to streamline their center resources, yet hoping to pack all the more importance and peculiarity into every component, he contends. Frequently this begins with the name.
"Naming briefs are progressively winding up 'How might we distil however much significance into as few letters as could reasonably be expected? Globule remains an incredible case of this, imparting item, reason and tone in a simple four letters. Or on the other hand Nested, a proptech startup whose name conveys on both an utilitarian and passionate level."
Normally, it likewise implies adaptable, computerized first images pressed with importance – think YouTube or F1, where a whole brand can be refined into an application tile or a profile picture.
"There's additionally a detectable pattern towards bespoke typefaces, for example, IBM's Plex and BBC's Reith – also Camden Market and Giraffe," includes Ottignon. "This enables a brand to show up particularly wherever it shows up, without presenting anything that isn't entirely utilitarian."
#5. Present day still life
The utilization of top of the line, styled and present day looking still life has been wherever this year. Giacomo Cesana, innovative executive at CBA Italy, depicts the look as: "Contemporary, geometrical and somewhat theoretical.
"Works that utilization level hues with straightforward protests and shapes have been in vogue this year, particularly in mold and the extravagance advertise. Tiffany's Christmas crusade, made in a joint effort with workmanship picture taker Roe Ethridge, is a decent case of this pattern in real life."
#6. Generative characters hit the standard
"We are seeing more brand characters making utilization of generative programming illustrations," says Cesana. "What used to be viewed as a cutting edge create is presently most unquestionably in the standard, as Nutella's calculation jugs and the Hello Robot list at the Vitra Design Museum illustrate."
#7. Level designs in bundling
Bundling configuration has made a move towards effortlessness in 2017, says Rowena Curlewis, CEO of Denomination, a beverages plan office in Sydney and London. "Effortlessness using level illustrations can be seen over all bundling classes, including wine," she clarifies.
"This does not really mean moderation but rather a stripping back of layers, enumerating, content and tone to focus on the center data and designs. These are then treated in a straightforward, deconstructed way.
"For instance, the wine mark Elephant in the Room, Fourth Wave's most recent example of overcoming adversity, has overwhelmed the Australian wine advertise with its single shading name outline. Including only the center data and fascinating outlines, the balance of its straightforwardness with the multifaceted nature of its rivals' plans has guaranteed both peculiarity and solid rack champion."
#8. 3D displaying in typography
"3D displaying is the new outskirts of visual depiction," says Cesana. "This has particularly been found in type outline, yet in addition in design age."
Sandhu additionally indicates a potential future pattern: "One-shading 3D configuration is developing in prominence. There has been increasingly item showcasing that uses a similar striking foundation shading as the included item itself: the item jumps off the screen because of the volume made by the 3D procedures."
For cases of the 3D slant, look at crafted by Locus and David McLeod, whose work for Dolby is appeared previously.
#9. Geometric write breaks the Helvetica cycle
"The utilization of geometry in both visual depiction and sort configuration has developed for the current year," says Lee Fasciani, originator and executive of Territory Projects, a sister organization to Territory Studio gaining practical experience in mark and computerized.
[ Further Reading: 5 Photographable Destinations During Winter ]
"The utilization of Helvetica used to occur in cycles – to a great extent driven by the absence of options (despite Akzidenz Grotesk) – however now it appears the abundance of all around made geometric sans serifs accessible influence creators to contemplate picking the confided in typographic statesman."
"Google Fonts and the capacity it offers fashioners to effectively join computerized textual styles into site pages is one reason for this, bringing typographic consistency to marked insurance over all channels. Geometric sans serif textual styles likewise can be generally ever-enduring, as most geometric outline."
"There is a striking lucidity and trustworthiness to such text styles that have now been utilized by numerous extensive organizations to convey the straightforwardness and receptiveness that their image group requires," he closed. "Cases of the pattern can be found in the utilization of LL Brown via Airbnb, Natwest and Thameslink, and LL Circular by Spotify and Eurosport."
#10. Hand-drawn components proceed
"Hand-drawn pictures have been especially enormous in 2017," includes Sandhu. Also, that is not shocking. "The individual touch that they give to marking and promoting is verifiable," he focuses. "In a world perpetually overwhelmed by screens, there is simply something engaging about the hand-drawn that resounds with numerous."
Additionally, Dan Bramham, senior creator at Greenwich Design, focuses to the current ascent of highly contrasting hand lettering in the course of the most recent a year. "I especially like crafted by Oli Frape and Vic Lee," he says. "It's phenomenal to see something somewhat less cleaned, and that truly emerged for me this year." And he considers it to be a piece of a more extensive pattern.
"It runs as one with the development far from the exceptionally specialized and an arrival to a craftsman approach, which we're seeing crosswise over everything from nourishment to the resurgence of painstaking work, and the look for a more adjusted lifestyle.
"Correspondingly, there's been a move far from cleaned photography to more lumpy, true photos. I think this all stems from the Millennial age searching for plan that has more trustworthiness, and the appearance of physical craftsmanship in visual computerization has extremely inspired an emotional response."
Simon Wright, overseeing chief at Greenwich Design, makes a comparative point" "Something we've seen in 2017 is the want to be more individual through plan – a gesture to a past time," he says. "Customers sending a wonderfully composed postcard or a written by hand letter for instance; an arrival to out-dated techniques for correspondence as a way to emerge."

Before this month's release of the highly anticipated X-Men: Apocalypse, writer-producer Simon Kinberg has confirmed that the next film in the franchise will take place in the 1990s. Gnarly, dude! Totally tubular! Whatever!
"The next one is set in the '90s," Kinberg told ComingSoon. The move makes sense, since X-Men: First Class took place in the 1960s, Days of Future Past was in the '70s and Apocalypse is set in...you guessed it...the 1980s.
However, what does Kinberg mean by "the next one," exactly? As ComingSoon points out, he could be referring to director Josh Boone's New Mutants project, which is in development and will feature teen heroes like Cannonball, Wolfsbane, Warlock and Sunspot. Or Kinberg could be speaking about the official follow-up to Apocalypse in the X-Men franchise.
We'll know soon enough! Until then, X-Men: Apocalypse is out on May 27. Check out some of the coolest cosplay outfits at this year's PAX East below:

A tough finishing hole where the final tee shot of the day needs to carry the ever-present Grims Dyke to find the hidden fairway. The second shot needs to carry the cross-rough to a two-tiered green that is well protected to the left and right by grass bunkers and mounds.
Having completed the eighteenth hole you will take away many happy memories and no doubt look forward to a return visit to the Berkhamsted experience.

TM vs. Jewish Meditation
David asks:
I sometimes do meditation repeating a non-word sound as a mantra as taught in TM (transcendental meditation). Can you suggest an alternative mantra? Since I do not know Hebrew something in Hebrew could be used for the sound value.
Shalom David
Mantra meditation is a form of Eastern meditation and as such it will not accomplish the goal of Jewish meditation. Mantra meditation takes a word or a sound and repeats it endlessly trying to wipe out, or cover over the normal thought pattern that a person experiences. When thoughts are fast and furious, one repeats his mantra just as fast. Then, when the mind is quieter, one repeats the mantra more quietly with the hope of stilling, or at least calming the mind.
The goal of Jewish mediation is much higher than merely calming the mind. Yes we want to calm our minds, but this is not enough. Instead of trying to merely blot out, or cover over our thoughts, we try to turn our thoughts onto holy subjects. Our goal is to use our meditation techniques to try to gain a spiritual sensitivity, an awareness that will help us attain a proper spiritual perspective.
For more detailed information see my recent video on this subject.
Direct Your Heart to Heaven - Jewish Meditation
If you still wish to continue using a mantra then I would recommend you using the Hebrew word "Hashem." Hashem literally means, "The Name." It refers to the most holy name of G-d, a name that is too holy for us to pronounce lest we come to use it for mundane purposes. Say (or think) the word slowly and repeat it and once in a while remember that you are that you are mentally calling out to G-d. So do not just keep calling out without stopping from time to time to say something to the Holy One you are calling.
Be well

It's been a funny old week. I've just moved house. I am surrounded by boxes and chaos. I can't find anything. I've had so many heated discussions with call centres organising gas/electricity you name it, my head is fit to burst. The dog has barely been walked and is pinging around like a loon. And in the midst of all this….my book is out tomorrow. I just want to tell you about it. Not the plot. Not the themes. Just about how I wrote it. It took me two years. It was my escape from domesticity, my secret focus to daydream about while I washed dishes, cleaned, in between my little boy's nap times and doing the school run. I wrote it because I had just been rejected for the gazzilionth time; I had failed to be shortlisted for everything. I sobbed in my bedroom and told my husband I was utterly disappointed with myself. But I kept writing. And researching. And writing. It's out tomorrow. I hope you like it. M xx
Month: August 2016
Do you remember back in the day when you went to the library, you could explore back issues of newspapers with one of those microfiche readers? And it made you feel as though you were an investigative journalist in a film….? Or was that just me? Well anyway, recreate that moment by following this link. Go on. Indulge me.
Find anything interesting?
The article about Nazi gold in a Norwegian cave is rather exciting isn't it? I thought so too…. A good spy story needs some gold or treasure doesn't it? And perhaps, Tirpitz herself would have been a good hiding place for Nazi loot. Until such time as she became a very real target. Then, the gold might have to be moved. To a cave perhaps? And what if someone saw it being hidden. And knew, after all these years, that it existed…and was out there still, buried in a Norwegian fjord cave. Now that could be very exciting…..
The Art of Simple Sabotage!
My husband knows me very well. On a trip to London some time ago, when I was in the midst of research, he visited the Imperial War Museum.
Not only did he take photographs for me of a Norwegian Resistance radio (above) and various other secret agent gadgets, he bought me one of the best presents I could have hoped for: a book called, 'The Secret Agent's Pocket Manual'. What could be better when you're trying to write about clandestine activities during WW2?
I got a lot of practical advice from this corking wee book, particularly from the chapter entitled: 'Simple Sabotage Field Manual, 1944'. Sabotage, it would seem is on a spectrum. From the art of everyday sabotage – opportunisitc, subtle, 'the human element' causing delays, accidents and 'general obstruction' right up to highly planned physical acts of mass destruction.
'Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen – who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organised group; and it is carried out in such a way as to incolve a minimum danger or injury, detection, and reprisal.'
Sabotage, it emerged, was to become a major theme in 'The Revenge of Tirpitz'.

How to change post title background color with template designer
"And how can I give my post title a colour background?"
The first thing I thought of trying is to go to LAYOUT > FONTS AND COLORS as described in my previous post Changing fonts and colors for New Blogger (xml).
However, Blogger for better or for worse is constantly evolving and the LAYOUT tab is no more, replaced by a DESIGN tab and apparently have moved the template designer from Blogger in Draft to standard Blogger.
I believe that it is still possible to edit the template direct to add CSS (Cascading Style Sheet to control the post title background but found that Blogger Template Designer has provided a "Advanced" option to do that via the template designer with INSTANT PREVIEW. And apparently some of the functions of the new Blogger Template Designer can be used even if the template you are using for your blog has not been designed with Blogger Template Designer

New Delhi, Dec 22 : Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company today said the US health regulator has not approved its new drug application for Xelpros, a preservative-free eye drop.
"The company has received a Complete Response Letter (CRL) from USFDA for the new drug application (NDA) for Xelpros," Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company (SPARC) said in a BSE filing.
A CRL is a communication from USFDA that informs companies that an application cannot be approved in its present form.
It further said, "The CRL references the recent inspection of the Sun Pharmaceutical Industries' Halol manufacturing site by USFDA and indicates that satisfactory resolution of deficiencies identified during the inspection is required before final approval of Xelpros".
Last year, SPARC had licensed the product to a subsidiary of Sun Pharma, it added.
Earlier this month, Sun Pharma said the US health regulator had made nine observations after the completion of inspection of its Halol facility in Gujarat.
The company is preparing responses to the observations, which will be submitted to USFDA within 15 business days.
Sun Pharma had been earlier issued a warning letter by USFDA for its Halol facility in December 2015. The letter followed inspection in September 2014 by FDA inspectors.
The company has been making efforts to make the Halol plant CGMP (current good manufacturing practices)-compliant again.The stock of Sun Pharma Advanced Research Company was trading 3.50 per cent higher at Rs 318.15 on BSE. SVK SBT ARD

Hello! Welcome back to our 2nd instalment of our holiday to Melbourne. The last edition was all about the journey over and surviving 23 hours with a wriggly toddler (we survived!). But now's for the good stuff – what is Melbourne really like as a city? I've often heard people describe it as the city with four seasons in a day, and I suppose the lack of glorious sunshine makes Sydney seem a much more desirable place to go on holiday. But I love Melbourne: it's down to earth, the people are always so friendly and there is so much variety from the beaches by St Kilda & Port Melbourne, to the amazing scenery in the Yarra Valley, to the many places to visit in the city centre.
The Wedding
Of course the whole reason we came to Melbourne was for the wedding of the year…my little brother got married. The day was perfect – the sun was shining so brightly all day and so many people came to be together. I absolutely love weddings but there is something so special about attending a family one, perhaps because you know how much it means to the bride and groom and it's also a chance to catch up with close friends and family. It was brilliant and although the day seemed to whizz by in a flash, we really enjoyed it.
The City A Stones Throw Away
After the wedding, we had about 5 days all to ourselves and it was the perfect time to get to know the city. My other half had never been to Melbourne and it was so nice exploring new areas together. One of my favourite moments was riding the tram with Emma and seeing the delight on her face at something so new. It's much different to trains, and I could see it was so exciting for her. It's also the quickest way to get around the city; the house we were staying in had 3 tram stops within a 5 minute walk so it couldn't be easier.
Top tip for getting around Melbourne: you need to buy a Myki card from a Milk Bar (newsagent) or convenience store, and pre-pay credit to be able to travel on the trams. It's much like London's Oyster card, a re-usable card for travelling all around the city and vital you have one, as you can't buy paper tickets for the trams. I have had the same one for the past 5 years and miraculously it still worked!
Driving Around the City
When we arrived in Melbourne, we made the executive decision to get a hire car after the wedding as we really didn't need one until this point. But we soon realised that it is always far easier to just bite the bullet and get one when you arrive at the airport, as it is a huge faff getting to the airport to collect afterwards. But we managed to get there in the end, and it was so nice to have a car of our own so we could take some day trips around Melbourne.
Until this point, we had been using the Uber taxi service. In Melbourne, like other cities, this is a much cheaper way of taking a taxi and so easy by using the app. However, what we didn't realise was that Uber works like a private car hire company and you won't always be allowed to travel with your baby/toddler on your lap. I know people have their own views on this, but in Brighton and other cities, it is fine to travel holding them for short journeys, as long as they are belted up too. We did get slightly stranded in Melbourne once, as one driver had said it was fine to not bring the car seat, only for the return driver to not feel comfortable travelling without it. Lesson learnt: always bring the car seat along for the ride!
Driving around Melbourne was really easy – it reminds me of American cities and is a grid-based road system, so couldn't be simpler if you miss a turning, even for me with no sense of direction. We also got to know the roads a bit and spent some time on the beach road, visiting more and more beautiful beaches, as well as driving north of the city to see the Yarra Valley.
Port Melbourne: Our Favourite Spot
I think I mentioned in my previous post how we love staying in Port Melbourne. It has so many shops, restaurants and bars, all perfect for the kind of things we like to eat (a mixture between naughty and a little bit healthy). Most of the restaurants also had outside spaces to eat, so it was ideal when you have the buggy with you too. My favourite part though is that it is really close to the beach – the apartment we rented via Air BnB was a 5 minute walk to the beach. This was the perfect spot for us to enjoy a different part of Melbourne.
Soon enough it was time to head home, and it always goes way quicker than I could ever imagine. We had a fantastic trip, which felt like the trip of a lifetime! It has been quite an anti-climax arriving home to a whole world of jetlag and realising how behind we are with organising Christmas. But one thing's for sure, Melbourne is a city to remember and hope we'll be back very soon.

What a WasteOverall, this toy is a huge waste of money. For the money you will spend, it is not even close to worth it. You can get the same satisfaction with some lotion and your hand, and frankly that is what I preferred in comparison. While this toy may be great for some people, I am not one of them.
Great Material
Easy to clean
Easy to clean
Strange noises
Minimum satisfaction
Minimum satisfaction
The desired use of this toy for me was to use, while on deployment, as a means to get off while thinking about my wife's vagina wrapped around my cock. Sadly, that was not the end result. The toy is placed around the cock, almost like a thicker condom, and then you masturbate like you normally would while enjoying the added sensation of the pocket pussy around your cock. It gave very little sensation, and was more of a nuisance than anything else. I got very little feeling from it, and it was quite noisy for such a simple toy. It also began to tear almost immediately, and was then just utterly useless.
Material / Texture
The Pocket Pussy is made from TPR material, which is actually a fantastic material that is very lifelike and feels fantastic. Unfortunately, it wasn't great for this applicaation. I think TPR is better suited for dildos, in my experience. It felt great and I had no issues with the smell, it just wasn't great for the purposes of male masturbation. Because it is very lifelike it was a bit too flexible, which allowed air pockets and slack within the toy that made for some very entertaining, albeit distracting, noises that took away from the actual masturbation.
Shape / Design / Size / Fit
This toy definitely looked lifelike. Upon opening the toy, I instantly knew what it was and where my cock was supposed to go. It looked very much like a pussy and it did work the way it was supposed to, in regards to the "penis going in the vagina" concept. The size will work for any penis size, however it does have pockets inside the pussy that will trap air during use no matter how well endowed the user is.
Care and Maintenance
From my experience, this was a fairly easy toy to clean and only takes a few minutes. It washes very easily with soap and water, and goes right back into storage for the next use. The TPR material is also great to use with lube, and works with either silicone or water based lubes. The TPR material is fairly sturdy and doesn't typically break down easily, however it does have a tendency to tear. Make sure when cleaning it and manipulating the material that you aren't too aggressive, or it will tear.

Geoff, I didn't follow. Is y a lock-null resource in your example below? It seems according to your definition below that the URL lock scheme would have the same behavior as 2518. If y is a lock-null resource: LOCK /x; Depth:0 LOCK /x/y LOCK /x/y LOCK /x; Depth:0 In the first sequence, the LOCK /x/y request fails (assuming the lock token is not specified or the user is not the owner of the lock) because x is locked and y can't be created in x either as a name or resource with /x/y bound to it. The second sequence, both methods succeed because x isn't locked, so y can be created, lock-null or not. Now x can be locked with depth:0 because there are no conflicting locks. What am I missing? Or are you just saying that LOCK doesn't require a lock token? Why the special case? What happened to your proposal to remove lock-null resources? Now consider the case where y isn't a lock-null resource, but an existing resource. The first sequence could succeed without a lock-token on /x because locking /x/y doesn't change the state of /x in any way. The second sequence would also succeed. Is this what you meant? If we don't have lock-null resources, how will names be reserved? Don't worry about the issue? Now some locking questions. If LOCK applies to the name, not the resource, /x/y.htm is locked, and /b/c.htm is bound to the same resource as /x/y.htm, is /b/c.htm locked too? Probably not. A user not owning the lock on /x/y.htm could DELETE /b/c.htm since that URL isn't locked. What about LOCK /b/c.htm? Say some other user would like this URL to remain fixed, but doesn't want to change the contents of the resource. Would that fail due to a conflict with the lock on /x/y.htm? Probably should. Now what if a user not owning the lock does a PUT on /b/c.htm. According to the definition below, this would fail even though the URL isn't locked. So the user can do a delete, but not a put on /b/c.htm. Sounds a little confusing. Looks like the lock is on both the name and the resource in some way. "Geoffrey M. Clemm" <email@example.com>@w3.org on 12/30/99 10:26:21 PM Sent by: firstname.lastname@example.com To: email@example.com cc: Subject: Re: Locking URIs rather than Resources I agree with all aspects of Yaron's interpretation of the "URL locking" proposal. It illustrates the fact that in this proposal, a LOCK (and UNLOCK) request never fails due to the absence of a Lock-Token header. A benefit of this approach can be seen if you invert the order in which the locks are issued, namely, instead of: LOCK /x; Depth:0 LOCK /x/y you request: LOCK /x/y LOCK /x; Depth:0 In the current 2518 model, the first sequence would fail (for the reason cited by Yaron) while the second would succeed (I believe ... with 2518, you probably could make good arguments for both failure and success of the second sequence). In contrast, the proposed URI locking model treats these sequences simply and identically: they both succeed, and they both end up in the same state - with a Depth:0 lock on /x and a Depth:infinity lock on /x/y. In this state, if you want to do a PUT to /x/y and /x/y does not identify a resource, you need both lock tokens (reasonably enough, since you are modifying the state of both /x and /x/y). Cheers, Geoff From: "Yaron Goland (Exchange)" <firstname.lastname@example.com> Before I jump into the fray I want to make sure that I actually understand the proposal. One sentence in particular gave me pause for thought. Geoff stated that "...a LOCK request *never* requires a lock token". I though hard about this, trying to understand exactly what it meant. Below I lay out my thinking process so that if I have misunderstood the proposal my error can be found and corrected. Imagine user U takes out a depth 0 lock on collection C. Collection C has no children. The ramification is that no one but U may add a new child to C. User A then shows up and wants to create a new resource with the URL C/R. Before creating the resource, however, A would like to first reserve the name C/R. To this end A takes out a lock on C/R. In the old system A's request would be rejected. The reason is that in the old system locks are on resources. Therefore for A to lock the name C/R it has to create some resource which 'owns' C/R and then lock that resource. This is where lock-null resources came from. They are the 'stand-in' resource who holds the name C/R until A is ready to transfer ownership of the name to its final destination. However creating the lock-null resource to hold C/R means that the lock-null resource would automatically become a child of C. U, through its lock on C, has reserved the exclusive right to create children of C. Therefore A's request to lock C/R is rejected because the creation of the lock-null resource to hold the name C/R would violate U's lock on C. (Is it just me or does the previous sound like an Abbott and Castello routine? Castello: Who has the lock? Abbott: Who has the lock. Castello: No, who has the lock?!? Abott: Exactly.) But in the new proposal locks aren't on resources, they are on URIs. Therefore when A locks C/R it is not locking a resource, it is locking a name. Names aren't members of collections, resources are. Therefore A can lock C/R without running afoul of U's lock on C because C/R, even though it is locked, is still not a member of the collection. When A will run into trouble is when it attempts, through a COPY, MOVE, PROPPATCH, PUT, MKCOL, etc. to associate the URL C/R with a resource. By associating a resource with C/R A will cause that resource to become a member of C. Of course U has reserved the right to create new members of C, therefore A's request will be rejected. The result is that A can lock C/R without submitting a lock token. However there isn't much A can do with the lock on C/R because doing anything to it would require associating it with a resource, which U's lock prevents. Geoff, did I get it right? Yaron > From: Geoffrey M. Clemm [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] > > A lock can be placed on a URL with a LOCK request. This URL is called > the "lock base". If the lock is Depth:N, then a lock is induced on > any URL that consists of the lock base extended by N or fewer > segments.

Lotononis pulchella is a shrublet with trifoliolate leaves made up of oval leaflets covered in silvery hairs. The blue flowers grow in flat clusters, having the pea-flower shape found in the Fabaceae family. Each flower has a small yellow spot in the centre at the base of the petals. The standard and wing petals are longer than the keel. The wings and keel are hairy.
L. pulchella grows in the Eastern Cape, the south-west of KwaZulu-Natal and in Lesotho. It is normally seen in grassy spots among rocks on mountain slopes.
The species was previously called Buchenroedera tenuifolia (Manning, 2009).

Mr. Speaker, I am most proud to rise in this House today to acknowledge the excellent work of a community in my riding. A number of my colleagues have probably had the opportunity to visit Wakefield in the municipality of La Pêche, and may have noticed, as I have, that Wakefield is a dynamic community and a major cultural and tourist hub.
Recently, an important project came to fruition in this community. Fifteen years ago Wakefield had a dream to have its own multi-functional community centre, and through hard work it was officially opened last Saturday.
This beautiful state of the art building would not have been possible if it were not for the involvement of countless volunteers. In particular, I would like to mention the amazing collaborative work of the volunteers and board members of the Wakefield La Pêche Community Centre Cooperative and of its president Stephen Sabean. Mention must also be made of MNA Stéphanie Vallée, the mayor of La Pêche, Robert Bussière, municipal councillor Louis Rompré, and Caisse populaire Desjardins de Masham-Luskville.
I extend my congratulations to all.

How Midnight Cinema is Bypassing the Record Industry
The Oakland pop rockers are taking a more direct and affordable new recording tack to distribute their music to potential fans.
(page 1 of 2)
Photos courtesy of Midnight Cinema
It's around 6 p.m. on a Sunday night in December, and darkness has descended with just a sliver of orange on the Pacific horizon. The members of the Oakland-based band Midnight Cinema are alone in an 800-square-foot condo in West Oakland, preparing to give an hourlong performance on what might be called a cosmic stage.
Guitarist Drew Cribley, lead singer Clayton Stoope, and drummer Paul Niedermier are there. The camera is set up, the sound system is checked, and the lights are turned on. By pre-arrangement at precisely 6:30, the trio begins to stream a live performance of its latest songs online through Concert Window, one of several websites streaming live performances for a new generation of music fans. Midnight Cinema's performance can be seen and heard locally and in real time at 9:30 p.m. in New York, 2:30 a.m. in London, and anywhere in the world.
"It's a great way to get your music out there," Cribley said. "We made about $600 in donations on that gig. No windfall to be sure, but this kind of exposure on a worldwide stage makes for an exciting venue." He also noted the interactive component between the band and viewers.
For decades, the East Bay has been a hot spot for emerging recording artists. But in spite of the region's deep indie ethos, most performers aspire to the traditional route to recognition and success: recording a demo with a signature sound, getting a manager to secure a label, recording at a sophisticated Hollywood or New York studio and seeking radio play, and then landing a booking agent to take the show on the road.
Today, however it's a brave new DIY world, as garage bands operating on a shoestring rely more heavily on social media for exposure, recognition, and buzz. "On the positive side, it has given bands more freedom and control on how they produce and distribute their music and reach their fans," said Jock Rockenbach, a journeyman guitarist and longtime Bay Area music coach. "But so far, the DIY money is slim, but promising. … It's like the Wild West out there on the local music scene, everyone panning for nuggets. The social media exposure does help to build a fan base and set the stage for performing at local clubs and touring."
Consider Joel Robinow, formerly of Howlin' Rain and now a member of the Once and Future Band. His band is doing its own recording instead of renting time in a big studio and put out a four-track EP vinyl record this past year. "Online and DIY is the wave of the now for most startup bands and even those that have been around for awhile," Robinow said. He also noted that his girlfriend, Jessi Phillips, with her group Eight Bells, raised $15,000 through Kickstarter to record and market their own CD.
Midnight Cinema exemplifies this current template, with the pop rock group striving to make it totally on its own as it find its niche.
Cribley, Stoope, and Niedermier founded the group in 2012, the name inspired by a local theater showing cult films at midnight.
The band's first EP, Midnight Cinema, was recorded in a major studio in New York City's Times Square over a year, requiring multiple cross-country flights to complete. It was released in 2013 under its former label Windup Records.
"We were told by the powers at Windup Records that the five-song EP cost $100,000 to produce, or $20,000 a song," Cribley said. "We never saw a cent return."
Cribley, Stoope, and Niedermier are survivors of the band Thriving Ivory, which had a hit album featuring the song "Angels on the Moon." In 2009 the album was No. 1 on the Heatseekers Albums charts and eventually hit No. 28 on the U.S. Pop 100 chart. By 2010 "Angels on the Moon" went gold, reportedly selling more than 500,000 copies, largely because of Stoope's voice. The band spent the better half of four years on tour and left a trail of fans scattered across the country. At the pinnacle of its success, long-simmering internal personality conflicts came to a head, and two members left the band. The three remaining members regrouped as Midnight Cinema, severing ties with Windup Records.

'Good Of IT' Misleading
I found the article "The Power of IT" (Aug. 25, p. 18) misleading. It was obviously written by someone outside the utilities industry. The ISO and transmission operators are separate entities and each requires specialized engineering/IT skills not normally housed in the IT department. To imply that these resources are interchangeable is naive.
Second, to imply that laying off 20% of FirstEnergy's IT staff is unacceptable is naive. They're merging multiple companies, and they put in SAP to run their major financial and billing systems. I imagine the IT staff they have is redundant. This article is weak attempt to capitalize on the news. I expect better from InformationWeek. It's a significant stretch to relate "the good of IT" to what happened in the transmission system.

If you have yet to see the work of famed graffiti artist/filmmaker Blu, you're in for a real treat. Blu creates films with painted still images (graffiti style), installed in various public spaces. He photographs the paintings, and then assembles them into a stop motion animation.
The following project, titled "BIG BANG BOOM", is described by the artist as "months of work and hundreds of buckets of paint". It shows. Truly impressive work.

Starlink: Battle for Atlas takes place in a massive sci-fi universe which spans between seven explorable planets that players can seamlessly travel to and from at their will. Each world carries its own ecosystem and wildlife with multiple factions who are in constant battle for planetary control. The creative minds spearheading development for Starlink are some of the same artists and designers whose previous works include the Far Cry and Assassin's Creed franchises, yet it's designed entirely in mind for kids.
Unlike many games designed for younger audiences, Starlink doesn't water down the fun or the difficulty. In fact, after getting some hands-on time with Starlink at Ubisoft's behind closed doors event during E3 2018, I can safely say that it feels a lot less like "my first space shooter" and a lot more like No Man's Sky.
Included with each physical Starlink copy are tiny spaceship toys that players can use to modify their playstyle. The ships slot into a custom mount that connects to your controller, allowing for the feeling of an actual spaceship floating right above your hands while you play. Each ship is modular; you can swap out parts on the fly such as weapons, wings, and even the pilots. The changes you apply to your toy ship instantly appear in the game.
The Switch version will also feature story missions exclusive to Star Fox
During its E3 2018 press conference, Ubisoft revealed a Switch exclusive version of Fox McCloud's Arwing fighter from Star Fox, affirming that Fox will indeed be a playable character in the Switch version of the game. Not to mention, the Switch version will also feature story missions exclusive to Star Fox, which Ubisoft claims will fit nicely within the lore of Starlink. Just like each of the ships available at launch, players will be able to customize their Arwings to their liking, swapping out those classic green laser beams for a railgun or flamethrower.
The amount of space available for exploration is quite small compared to a game like No Mans Sky. However, being meticulously hand-crafted, it offers actual points of interest for players to explore. Through my time with Starlinks E3 demo, I never came across an area that felt empty or uninteresting. There was always something to shoot, scan, or collect. As I flew around, I was free to take on a range of missions; one in particular involved exterminating a gigantic, spider-like alien that could shoot lasers out of its head.
Dynamic weather and in-game events are always happening around you, meaning that no two players are likely to ever have the same experience while completing missions. For instance, you could at any moment stumble upon a battle between two factions and have to decide whether to intervene or go about your own way cataloging local wildlife.
The toy ships add an entirely new layer of strategy to your typical space exploration game.
Starlink shares a familiar structure with many AAA games within the same genre, but it's clearly one which is exceptionally rare in games that are aimed towards children. Even rarer, however, is a game that's built with such high level of care and polish. The moment-to-moment action in Starlink feels terrific and the intuitive controls make taking down bosses feel extremely gratifying. But, it's the toy ships that make Starlink really shine and add an entirely new layer of strategy to your typical space exploration game.
In Starlink, you're constantly interacting with your spaceship figure. Fighting different enemies can require a different combination of weapons and abilities, and it's a lot more fun to physically attach new guns as opposed to selecting them from a menu (which players are also able to do). Some enemies have elemental weaknesses in which you'll be able to take full advantage of while in combat. For example, the planet I explored consisted mainly of ice-based creatures, and naturally I found myself switching frequently between my missile launcher and flamethrower attachment. It's a great way to keep you on your toes during combat and it provides numerous loadout options for players who really like to delve deep into ship customization.
While there's no denying that Starlink shares a lot in common with previous toys-to-life games, Ubisoft strongly believes that offering a more traditional style open-world experience will broaden it's appeal to a much wider audience. And with Fox McCloud at the helm of the Switch version, there's no doubt that they've got our attention.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas will launch on October 16 for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Mob Attraction Las Vegas To Open At Tropicana By JVLV New Holdings
JVLV New Holdings today announced it is officially the new owner of the Las Vegas Mob Experience. Under the new ownership, the attraction will fully reopen under the name Mob Attraction Las Vegas.
While the date of opening has yet to be set, JVLV has extensive plans for the future of Mob Attraction Las Vegas.
"Now that we have brought the attraction out of bankruptcy we are going to be swift with changes as we prepare to open our doors once again," said Andrew DeMaio, president of JVLV New Holdings. "Along with the name change, upgrades are being made to the audio visual equipment, special effects will be enhanced, and we've added industry veteran Tom Zaller to help guide us."
According to JVLV Holdings, the addition of Tom Zaller is expected to raise the performance of the attraction. An entertainment/exhibition operations and marketing veteran with more than two decades of experience, Zaller has been instrumental in creating, producing and marketing some of the world's most popular museum-quality exhibitions and attractions, which have been seen by nearly 40 million people around the world.
He has overseen all aspects of blockbuster exhibitions including Las Vegas attractions Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and BODIES…The Exhibition.
"The Mob Attraction is the perfect mix between entertainment and museum, using authentic artifacts, new technology and storytelling we bring to life this incredible and timeless story," said Zaller. "We're in the process of fine tuning the experience and look forward to the opening in March with the exciting announcements coming soon regarding changes."
Additional details regarding reopening and enhancements will be announced shortly. The museum inside the attraction remains open daily 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Visitors can view the attraction's world-class collection of mob artifacts and memorabilia. On display are personal items, photos and videos belonging to Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Sam Giancana, Tony Spilotro, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, Mickey Cohen and many others.
"We would like to offer a big thank you to Mr.Yemenidjian and Tropicana Las Vegas," added DeMaio. "Without their support and commitment to our plan moving forward none of this would've been possible."
"We have always been confident in the vision of this unique attraction," said Fred Harmon, vice president of talent and image relations at Tropicana Las Vegas. "Under its new ownership, the Mob Attraction is sure to provide an interactive experience unlike any other that exists in Las Vegas."
