Camera was on, working fine. When powering off, telescoping lens did not retract so lens remained extended just a bit with lens cover open. Waited a few minutes, turned it back on and I get the "access" display message then the beeps and (turn power off and back on) message. While off, I have removed the battery, replacing it with a fully charged spare and it still does this.

Looking for tips to clean a very dusty Canon EOS 350D I've just boughtoff eBay. The view through the viewfinder is very dirty with a couple of black spots and some dust and small hairs etc. The pictures themselves are clear so the sensor is fine, it is the opaque plastic bit through which the mirror reflects which needs a clean. This is the part with the seven little squares where the focus LEDs light. Also one of those LEDs (the leftmost) is not working and the next nearest ones are dimmer

The financial markets were embroiled today due to the Greek debt crisis looking like it is finally reaching its denouement. But this is only the beginning for what the final disposition of the Euro and Eurozone will look like after Greece defaults on its IMF payment tomorrow and then decides how it wants to move forward, within the EU or outside of it. You can bet that Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland have been closely watching and are now examining each step in this tug of war between the EU and Greece from now to its final breaths. The Eurozone and Euro economic and geopolitical structures were ill-conceived, badly designed, badly implemented, and unresponsive to the people's concerns of various constituent countries. That anybody in their right mind, after observing and studying the constructs of this amalgamation of disparate countries now joined at the hip, can suddenly solve their devastating economic problems after seven years of flailing in the dark while protecting their big governments and precious big banks from further damage as well as from exacting more damage on the populations of these countries is only in the minds of a naïve and incurable optimist (brainwashed/indoctrinated/bought off public could be substituted here as well) or someone who has something valuable to gain for themselves, such as power and/or profit, from this mess created by a big government/big bank (along with their central banks)/big corporation cabal. I think all of these major fiat paper currencies, that are backed by nothing but the hot air of their governments and their enforcement arms are doomed to a large degree and we are now approaching the beginning of the final takedown of these paper tiger regimes. I think you will see the Euro, Yen, Pound, and U.S. dollar be seriously harmed if not destroyed from its present form. I have more hope for the Yuan, Ruble, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, and other currencies that are either hard asset (such as precious metals) backed or of countries with large mineral/resource wealth.
All that said, the thing I noticed most today about how the various financial markets reacted to the latest from the EU/Greek imbroglio is that the U.S. dollar did not rise strongly in the face of these troubles in Europe. It gapped up on the open and not only fell and filled the gap from the open but ended up declining further and closing lower than the close of the previous three days. This is not the action of a safe haven currency in times of extreme stress being exhibited and felt around the world. On top of the EU/Greek problem, you have a Chinese stock market that has now corrected into bear market territory over the last few weeks, the continuing Ukraine/Russian (really U.S./Russian) war, Syrian (really U.S./Syrian) war, U.S./China South Sea tensions, and ISIS (really U.S. created and backed) (do you see a pattern here?). So watching the action of the U.S. dollar over the next few weeks may be the tell we are looking for in an attempt to determine when all these paper money fueled bubbles in the U.S. bond, stock, and currency market start to blow up. If the U.S. dollar continues to go up as it should in world crisis times like these, then that will likely support the U.S. stock market and maybe keep a lid on the bond blow up for awhile longer. If not, I think you will still see the U.S. stock market make one last laboring ride to glory as it methodically grinds its way to another high rather than some type of spectacular blow off run off a cliff. I think the spectacular blow off gallop of the final stage of a stock market bull run might be seen in Chinese stocks, which I think we have already seen to a large degree. I think somewhere along the way you will see more and more U.S. market participants shift into hard asset stocks such as precious metals, commodities, and resources and continue to move out of former high flying stocks that themselves are laboring to maintain their current altitudes. I think, over the next couple of weeks, that the U.S. stock market could make a short term bottom and start back up along with the Chinese stock market. Stock selection will be critical to benefit in this move. Some of the non-resource/non-commodity stocks I have already recommended should benefit from the next move up. But as I have said, I also think you will see a continual shift into the commodity/resource sectors as well, especially if the U.S. dollar starts to fall. If the U.S. dollar continues to rise then I think you will see more bottoming action in the commodity/resource sectors but initial signs of interest have already been observed in many of these areas but better entry levels may appear in the not too distant future. I believe you should have a portion of your assets in the stock market, but now is the time to seriously consider ways to preserve much of your wealth as we enter even more uncertain times ahead. The best way to do that, I believe for most people, is to own gold/silver coins or bullion in a few diversified vaulted locations directly owned or allocated to you as well as some precious metals mining shares. As far as the precious metals mining shares(as well as gold/silver), I still believe you will have an opportunity to buy these at lower prices over the next few months but for the investor to dollar cost average in high quality names over the next few months is a good strategy also. High quality names include NEM (Newmont Mining), ABX (Barrick Gold), RGLD (Royal Gold), AEM (Agnico Eagle Mines), FNV (Franco Nevada), GG (Goldcorp), and AU (Anglogold Ashanti). Lower priced and more speculative names that include some silver miners are KGC (Kinross Gold), GFI (Gold Fields), CDE (Coeur D'Alene Mines), SA (Seabridge Gold), AG (First Majestic Silver), and FSM (Fortuna Silver Mines). To bypass the trouble of doing due diligence on individual precious metals miners, one can invest in ETFs such as GDX (Market Vectors Gold Miners), GDXJ (Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners), NUGT (Direxion Gold Miners 3X leverage), and JNUG (Direxion Junior Gold Miners, 3x leverage). When using leveraged ETFs, timing is more critical as leveraged ETFs often lose value in choppy or non-trending markets due to the way they are constructed and implemented. So the next couple of weeks will be interesting as financial markets usually are and it pays to keep your eyes wide open and a tight grasp on your wallet until you see a good risk to reward opportunity.

While "The Girl Who Was Born That Way" is by no means a memoir, author and St. Louis native Gail Benick says it reflects some of her own experiences and those of her extended family, combined with her own imagination.
The book features the Berk family, whose life is steeped in Jewish culture along with the memory of the Holocaust — yet encompasses universal themes of all cultures — love, loss and family ties.
The Berks' immigration to North America from Poland is not easy. Each of the four daughters has her own difficulties. The two oldest girls grew up in the Lodz Ghetto and the two youngest grow up in an American suburb. The story is told from the perspective of the youngest child in the family, who is full of sisterly love and compassion. Adjustment is especially hard for the third daughter who was born with Turner Syndrome, which renders her visibly different from her peers — in the 1950s. Benick brings the reader into the girl's lives where each day has its ups and downs — some extreme. And Benick explores the social and medical issues associated with Turner Syndrome.
"In the 1950s, the emphasis was on conformity," Benick said. "Anything or anybody atypical was not accepted easily."
The book brings home the message that a lot of harm is done when people are judged by their looks.
Girls with Turner Syndrome are often short in stature, have a thicker neck and may have swollen hands and/or feet. At puberty they often don't develop the same as other girls their own age.
"In the 1950s, there was a lot of stigma attached to this and basically, anything that made someone look 'different,'" she said. "But now, thankfully, there are organizations that help, and much more acceptance of differences."
The book also imparts the importance of cultural memory, according to Benick.
"This is a family that survived the Holocaust," she said. "That highlights the questions — Can you start over? Can you wipe the slate clean? Do you really want all the details of your past out there for everyone to hear?"
Benick said for her, writing is a way to think about such concepts — among many others — and research and reading is a tool to help understand social reality.
"I've been told that the book is heavy duty, yet parts are humorous," Benick said. "It's gripping, and people say it's a real page turner."
A voracious reader, Benick can't remember when she didn't write. For many years, her writing focused on textbooks, scholarly articles, and non-fiction.
"About 10 years ago, I began to think about incorporating real issues into a fictional base," she said.
In November, Benick appeared as one of three Missouri authors on the Missouri's Own Panel at the 37th annual Jewish Book Festival in St. Louis.
After living in Ontario for decades, she said participation in the festival felt like a real homecoming.
"It was very gratifying to be able to share my book in my hometown," Benick said.
Born and raised in St. Louis, Benick has lived in Ontario, Canada for many years. She is a professor in the humanities and social sciences at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. Her writings often explore the plight of immigrants, their transition from one world to another, and asks the unavoidable, hard questions facing anyone departing from home: What shall I carry with me? What shall I leave behind? She has a master's in education degree from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto and a master's in philosophy from the City University of New York.

What Does Climate Change Mean for the Arctic? How is Alaska Being Affected?

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) held a Congressional briefing on March 15, 2005 on the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) 1 and climate change impacts already observed in Alaska. The assessment, released in November 2004, is an intergovernmental report based on a four-year scientific study of the Arctic conducted by an international team of 300 scientists and sponsored by the eight arctic nations (Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United States) and six indigenous people's organizations. It concludes that the average winter temperatures in Alaska and other arctic regions have increased by 4 to 7 degrees Fahrenheit (3-4 degrees Celsius) in the past 50 years, twice the rate of the rest of the globe, and are projected to continue rising for the next century. Alaska is being affected by climate change and experienced its warmest summer on record in 2004, characterized by its worst fire season, unprecedented insect outbreaks, and significant coastal erosion. The warming has caused a decline in summer sea ice extent and thickness, allowing seasonal storms to increasingly erode portions of the Alaskan coastline. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimates costs of $100-400 million to move a single endangered Alaskan village, with some 184 villages seen as susceptible to flooding and erosion.

Martial Planet
Home / Worldwide martial arts / South America / Chile / Kollellaullin
The Kollellaullin is a martial art Mapuche (pre-Columbian indigenous people of southern Chile also called Araucanos). Kollellaullin means in Mapudungun (Mapuche language) 'ant waist' or 'ant power' referring to the physical power of this insect capable of carrying far greater than its own weight loads. Another explanation was the state that was the warrior after undergoing this training, muscular torso with broad shoulders and small waist like an ant.
he Kollellaullin consisted of a rigorous training that took place throughout the life of the Mapuche warrior (Cona), shaping it in physical skills, hardening of its musculature and adapt to their environment in order to transform it into Weichafe, sacred warrior elite within the ancient Mapuche society. You could consider the Kollellaullin as Japanese budo, as it consisted only in a closed container in a set of physical and intellectual practices system.

This book investigates into the effect of implementing environmentally healthy and community- driven solar electricity in rural Afghanistan, on women's social and political role. The case study explores the Norwegian Church Aid's project 'Barefoot Approach'. The project targets women as beneficiaries, but also as community members with responsibility for maintaining the solar energy in their village through training as Barefoot Solar Engineers. By investigating women's everyday life and relation to family, networks and community governance structures, this thesis maps out how solar energy implemented in rural Afghan homes can lead to empowerment and local political participation.

THE girls came in long, white communion dresses and fancy party frocks; the boys wore cloaks left over from Halloween and baggy pants cinched at the knees. The costumes may have been makeshift but for the sixth graders from Columbus School in New Rochelle, they were replicas of the high-waisted gowns and pantaloons and doublets worn by Renaissance lords and ladies.
The occasion was a visit to Caramoor here, to learn, via hands-on activity, about the 200 years from 1400 to 1600. The Renaissance was chosen because Caramoor's former owners, the late Walter and Lucy Rosen, were patrons of the arts with a penchant for that era, when art and science underwent a rebirth in Europe.
The rooms of the stucco villa are filled with rare antiques from the period, tapestries and furniture and ornaments that connote the past as powerfully as the house's ornate rooms and shadowy, narrow hallways. In the music room, for example, there's a 16th-century coffered ceiling, dark carved chairs and stained-glass windows that seem still to exist in some century other than the 20th. Furthermore, Caramoor's music festival has often included music from the Renaissance. The concerts, held in the Spanish Courtyard and the Venetian Theater, bring to life church music, which "became ever more more complex, multi-voiced," said Howard Herring, Caramoor's executive director.
Folk dances, he added, gained syncopation and intricacy of rhythm. Indeed, in all of the arts, the Renaissance is characterized by increased attention to the individual and to detail (folds on fabric begin to show up in paintings) and a consciousness of self not present in the work of the Middle Ages.Continue reading the main story
And so it seemed fitting that, 10 years ago, an educational program designed to increase awareness should focus on the Renaissance. The house-museum, the sweeping grounds, the garden opened to the public in 1945; since then the summer music festival has featured hundreds of internationally renowned artists. In 1986, the staff and board of Caramoor decided to expand its education program after receiving a $75,000 grant from the Louis Calder Foundation.
Groups of children from underprivileged neighborhoods in New York City were bused to Caramoor for a day of learning through experience, Mr. Herring said, a day with performances by jugglers and mimes and theater troupes, even a demonstration of falconry. The program was so popular that in 1991 it expanded, with a $100,000 grant from Nynex, to include Westchester schools. So far, 2,000 youngsters have participated.
"There is a theory of multiple intelligences that postulates that there we are all possessed of certain intelligences which correspond to certain artistic disciplines," Mr. Herring said. "There is also the fact that, if you work with these intelligences by overlapping educational work -- by using an interdisciplinary approach -- the child learns more effectively. A 5-year-old learns by doing something concrete. As we get older, we are able to conceptualize, to deal in abstract thought, but youngsters should still keep doing concrete things, to truly absorb and retain an experience."
In other words, have fun while learning. The 11- and 12-year-olds who visited Caramoor on a recent day did not seem to go in for elaborate theories, but they did have a good time. Girls whirled about in long skirts in a fairly good approximation of the tarantella, a dance inspired by the bite of the tarantula. Boys engaged in mock swordplay. And everyone oohed and aahed at the sight of live falcons, laughed loudly when the Commedia dell'Arte troupe performed its version of "The Adventures of Don Giovanni" and stood in awed silence at the riches in the house.
"It would be fun to live in the Renaissance," said La'Re Canteen, resplendent in a brown velvet gown she had bought for the occasion. "I'd have all these gardens and musical instruments, and I would do that exciting dance."
"Ladies were treated like ladies," added Kenyatta Smith-Jackson, as she daintily lifted her long pink skirt over a puddle in the courtyard. "But I guess back then they couldn't go out and get good jobs."
A favorite activity was learning about falconry. Ray Penna, a raptor expert from New Paltz, brought with him a peregrine falcon, a gyrfalcon, a Harris hawk, a red-tail hawk, a kestrel, a screech owl and a great horned owl. He explained the similarities and differences between birds of prey: Hawks generally shred their prey with their claws, while falcons kill in a cleaner, swifter fashion, using a little protuberance in their beaks to make what Renaissance-era people called "a noble kill."
"Peasants had hawks, they called them pot hawks, because what they caught and killed was generally only usable in a stew pot," Mr. Penna said. "But falcons, which hunt ducks, grouse and pheasants, could kill without making a mark on their prey. They were the birds of nobility; a falcon was often called a 'falcon noble.' " Training, he added, is a process requiring patience and gentleness, which eventually results in the falcon and the human forming a sort of hunting partnership. "Falcons and their owners become very, very close."
The children also enjoyed the performance of I Giullari di Piazza, which translates as the Players of the Square, a professional troupe, which performs in the old traditions of Italian music, theater and dance, re-creating the atmosphere of a town square performing operas and concerts based on folk legends, myths and rituals and on scenarios from Commedia dell'Arte. The performers wear costumes and masks -- one, with a five-inch-long golden nose, actually scared a couple of the children -- and play such authentic Renaissance instruments.
On the music room stage, they performed "The Adventures of Don Giovanni and His Servant Pulcinella." This comedy is based on the 16th-century Neapolitan Commedia dell'Arte manuscript, and features the shenanigans of Pulcinella, his fiancee Ricciulina, and the notorious womanizer Don Giovanni. After much merriment and several cases of mistaken identity, Ricciulina, who has been seduced and then abandoned by Don Giovanni, marries her intended after all. At the conclusion of the skit, Don Giovanni is punished for his wicked ways, when he meets a ghost -- actually a giant puppet -- and is taken to Hell by the Devil.
"That was really fun," Mecca Jackson said when the play was finished. "I liked it because the ending was happy. I liked the wedding." But what about the scary scene with all those devils, she was asked. "I was happy because the bad guy got what he deserved."
For Leah Rukeyser, the principal of Columbus School, the day at Caramoor represented more than simple fun. "Our school is going through its own Renaissance. We are what they call a magnet school -- we specialize in something, in this case science, math and technology. But we believe it's very important to keep a balance between the sciences and the arts and humanities. What better way to show this than to come to Renaissance Day."Continue reading the main story

The telecommunications firm formed by the merger of Orange and T-Mobile, Everything Everywhere, is to expand its UK store portfolio to 750 it was announced today.
By the end of 2011 the business plans to have opened a further 30 new outlets in the UK, all branded as Everything Everywhere and offering all products & services from Orange and T-Mobile.
Trial stores were first launched by the company in February which allow customers to have more interaction with products, download apps, charge their phones and go online in-store.
Tom Alexander, CEO of Everything Everywhere, said: "The new stores will be branded Everything Everywhere and will sell Orange and T-Mobile products.
"It means that by the end of this year we'll have created more opportunities for our people, more choice for our customers and more potential for our business."
It was also confirmed today that concession and 50/50 joint Orange/T-Mobile stores will still be trialled by the firm alongside the Everything Everywhere branded outlets.
Results for the firm's first nine months, published in February, showed that revenues had grown 1.5 per cent for the operation since the merger and an internal survey has shown that footfall increased 25 per cent compared to other communication retail stores in recent months.
Alexander added: "The trial results have already shown us that we've tapped into an incredibly successful and highly engaging customer experience formula within the Everything Everywhere format, and that our two brands Orange and T-Mobile, as well as our customers, are benefiting."

Black have always been a recurrent theme with me (all black or its other variation in black and white). While I don't complain about it during the heat, everyone tells me how much hotter I make them feel. With the play on words, I would say that it is my pleasure my friend. ㅋㅋㅋ
Would you guys still wear black during summer or opt straight for lighter colors ? I do, since I have this (un)fair advantage of not sweating a lot.
On a totally unrelated note… Saw a quote in the subway after coming back to Paris. I'll share it here as I quite like it :

The South Korean consumer electronics giant estimates that second-quarter 2013 profit came in at a record-high $8.3 billion on $50 billion in revenue, but analysts were looking for a quarterly profit of more than $8.9 billion.

Why would Sacred Heart run up a football score to 70 points?
Does that teach good sportsmanship?
Where are values being taught?

Sacred Heart passed the ball one time the whole game, and ran the ball down the middle as much as possible. They did not intend to run up the score. The teams just had such drastic differences in talent.

Women as Microfinance Leaders, Not Just Clients
Harvard Business Review
We're a network of microfinance organizations; we exist to share practices and develop the leadership skills required by a sector that has grown up fast. And as you might be aware, microfinance is a phenomenon that, while it did not set out to be "for women," has mainly turned out to be. It's vital to reverse the trend and help microfinance institutions attract, train, and retain talented women. Diversity Gender microfinance WWB
Entrepreneurship Needs to Be a Bigger Part of U.S. Foreign Aid

There are human resources and procurement challenges to overcome as well. These colossal "beltway bandits" work everywhere from Afghanistan to Zambia and purport to offer expertise in everything from microfinance to micro-irrigation. Here are two surprising facts.

I am looking for a way to mount sway bars and keep the shock/arm protectors. It seems I have to get rid of the protectors to be able to mount the sway bars. Anyone with experience with mounting them both?
Nobody is born with experience
I just that mod on a LHS, they replace the screw on the sway for a longer one that attach both parts to the arm with the same screw.
I took the hollow balls out of rods I had laying around and put those in place for the pillow balls. They have the same length as the plastic busses. Problem solved
Nobody is born with experience
Or you could just move the protector towards the wheels and move the screw with the plastic boss next to it, that's what I just did.
I have the sway bar link in the closest hole on the arm, the shock in the stock position mine came with, and the other screw with the plastic spacer one hole away from the shock towards the wheel, this means you have to move the guard in that direction. I do like your idea better though since I do have some old shocks laying around with the ball inserts...
Got it. I just wanted the guards in the same position.
Nobody is born with experience
Thanks for this. Was just putting sway bars on my Stampede and was confounded.
Agreed. There is tons of information. I remember doing quite some searching before I started this thread.
Nice to leave a message that the info was useful in this case
Nobody is born with experience
How about a picture of how to do this. I am having a hard time understanding this without a diagram or something.
Please help, as I am little bit unclear on the solution to this problem.
Hi Peterj60,
This is how I did mine on a slash 4X4 using the pede 4X4 shock guards
I had maade my own spacer before the sway bar from tip ends of a ball end turn buckle ends; Since the sway bar it self is large enough, the spacer was no longer neede;
On the RPM arms the sway bars on mine were all installed closet hole onto the arm with a slightly longer screw, not sure if it was 3x10 mm or 3x8

This is the one you'll need to run sway bars with the shock guards:
Thanks! That is perfect I see now. Appreciate the help. Too bad this does not come with the sway bar set. Seems like traxxas could easily add part to the kit. Then again I guess this way they get another 3.99 out of ya.
Yeah i did replace mine with the holow ball ends

Instead of passing blame, the NCAA should be instituting athletic health care standards across all collegiate sports.
I am so disappointed in Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. How dare he spend last weekend throwing five touchdown passes, rushing for 98 yards and nearly rallying his team from a 21-point deficit against Southeastern Conference foe Alabama.
I think you and I are exactly alike in practically every way. We both live in New York City. We both like Auburn. We both enjoy biking. We both wear cargo shorts even though every single other person in the world thinks they're stupid. You were in Blood Diamond and I want one.
Local organizers in Charleston, South Carolina are pushing the NCAA to allow them to bring a Bowl Game to the Lowcountry. Bowl Games bring money and exposure to the cities that host them, and unlike larger, multi-day events, no real problems.
The NCAA has delegated the concussion issue to schools as a strategy to avoid any legal liability and potential financial losses. Meanwhile, the NCAA continues to rake in billions of dollars from television and other sources through its revenue-at-all-costs policies.
Why does an organization formed when the idea of paying money to attend a sporting event was in its infancy still operate under the same (now completely out-of-context) model?
While many journalists are understandably questioning the ethics of recruiting athletes so young, we must also keep our eye on the ball with regard to the physical impact such a practice may produce.
The NCAA and President Mark Emmert seem incapable of reorienting college athletics within higher education as a positive component of the campus experience, instead embarking on a Darwinian chase for revenue. Student welfare and development is no longer the priority but an afterthought.
College football is arguably the most popular sport at the nation's colleges and universities. Like every area of higher education, finding the right blend of diversity on the football field is a challenge.

Notre Dame is undefeated, and that counts for something. However, this year's Irish are the least impressive undefeated team in recent memory.
In the midst of college conference realignments and billion dollar media deals the plight of student athletes sometimes does not receive the focus that it should.

Unless the media decides to take note of their lack of high quality non-conference schedules, the SEC will still be claiming "good losses" to teams like this year's Arkansas or Auburn.

While the stakes for European consumers are not great - they have always had a full range of chocolates to choose from - some chocolate lovers say an official move away from the more expensive pure-cocoa product puts some of Europe's oldest and most highly regarded companies at risk.
And the implications of a change for the Ivory Coast and other developing nations are huge: a potential drop of 20 per cent in the price of one of their biggest foreign exchange earners.
Europeans spend $42bn (pounds 26.2bn) a year on chocolate, with the British and Irish eating 11 kilograms on average each a year. The quality of chocolate is a matter of national pride and consumption is the highest in the world, so a common recipe is no small matter.
At a Godiva chocolate shop in Brussels, purists scorn the threat of an invasion of "impure" chocolate. "I don't mind if the British want to put other stuff in their chocolate, but I don't think we should be forced to eat it," said Eric Vandenberghe, a regular customer. "Real chocolate [is] made of pure cocoa."
African growers warn that the EU proposal could cut cocoa demand and send prices down, threatening the economies of developing countries such as Ivory Coast, which produces more than 40 per cent of the world's cocoa.
If allow-ed, substitute fats will reduce West European cocoa dem-and by bet- ween 130,000 and 200,000 tonnes - or as much as 7.5 per cent of annual production, leading to a slump in world cocoa prices, warned Ivory Coast's raw materials minister, Guy Alain Gauze. "European consumers and European decision makers must be made aware of the danger," he said.
The International Cocoa Organisation, which represents the world's largest growers, said the proposal would lead to a $1.5bn loss of export revenue. West Africa, which meets 90 per cent of EU cocoa demand, would be worst hit.
The dispute over chocolate ingredients goes back to 1973, when the UK, Ireland and Denmark joined the European Union. They were supposed to adopt EU chocolate standards. They refused. Since then, they have been joined by new members Portugal, Austria, Finland and Sweden.
To this day, those seven countries allow their chocolatiers to include up to 5 per cent non-cocoa fats such as palm oil or other fats in their products, which produces chocolate that is cheaper and easier to make into bars or shapes such as bunnies.
The other eight EU countries insist that only cocoa butter - a chocolate- flavoured fat refined from cocoa beans - be used.
The EU proposes all 15 countries adopt the UK standard. Purist countries such as Belgium, which wants to protect its chocolate makers and preserve high prices, say that will force everyone to use cheap fats now used in just a third of all European chocolate. It also would reduce quality and hurt small, high-cost chocolate makers.
At stake is the right of chocolate makers such as Cadbury-Schweppes, Mars and Nestle to sell their chocolate in other EU countries without having to alter formulas. Until the matter is resolved, some EU countries will continue to block chocolate imports from nations with different standards - yet another sign that Europe's history of national self interest has not died with monetary union.
"This is blatant protectionism," said Caroline Jackson, the Conservative MEP for Wiltshire North and Bath. "Clearly some countries want to continue preventing British chocolate exports."
Now an end to the dispute may be in sight. Dutch cocoa processors dropped their objection to the proposals that would create a common standard for making chocolate, though the Dutch government is still to follow suit.
The Spanish government appeared to do an about-turn this week when it said it might back the proposal, leaving just three hold-outs - France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Cocoa prices responded by dropping 1.7 per cent. If Spain and the Netherlands really do come into line with the plan, that would be enough to overrule the objections of the last three purists.
Yet even that would not be the end of the story, because the EU governments would then have to persuade the European Parliament, which takes a much harder line against non-cocoa fats, to adopt the new standard.Reuse content

The Unwritten Rules Of Girl Code
In life, there are certain rules we have to abide by. Stop at a red light. Get to work on time. Don't have the same crush as your bestie. You know, the important stuff.
When it comes to girl code, it's no different. And just in case you've forgotten, here are the unwritten rules every friendship follows...
Lift each other up
Like the selfie, compliment the shoes, congratulate the promotion. Get it girl.
Snacks are for sharing
It's called share bag for a reason - hand 'em over.
Never mute the group chat
A meme. A Snapchat screenshot. Them telling you they've just seen their ex with lipstick on their teeth. You never know what you could be missing.
Have opposite 'good sides'
For perfect selfies every time.
Always say yes to happy hour
But also to leaving early to get cheesy chips
Fries over guys, people.
Be the best wing woman you can be
Bring your flirting A-game. Even if it does mean entertaining Neil from I.T. while she's grinding on his 10/10 mate.
And also the best get out clause for bar creeps
"She's pregnant/ got four kids at home/ we're actually married" - delete where appropriate.
Don't let them text their ex
Or at least laugh with them the morning after when you're reading through the messages.
Like everything on Instagram
Double tapping erry'where.
Always split an Uber
Even if you live on opposite sides of town.

This clip from the forthcoming Hot Sauce Committee is hilarious! When I heard there was a new Beastie's video, I thought "it would be cool if they had actors playing them, like that Jon Spencer video way back in the day," and guess what? That's exactly what they did, starring Will Farrell, Jack Black, Elijah Wood (doing a spot on Ad-Rock!), John C. Reilly (Come to think of it, John C. Reilly was in that Blues Explosion video too! ), Danny McBride and Seth Rogan to name a few. PS. This album is great!

The Nomura Securities Company, Japan's largest brokerage firm, said today that it lost money in the last three months of 1998, as Japan's economy and stock market sagged.
The Daiwa Securities Company, the second-largest brokerage firm, and the Nikko Securities Company, the third biggest, said one-time gains from two of Japan's biggest-ever stock sales helped them avoid a similar fate.
Daiwa managed the sale of a block of shares for the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and Nikko co-managed the listing of NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc., the mobile phone company.
Nomura had a loss of 7.656 billion yen ($67 million) for its fiscal third quarter, after a 7.1 billion yen profit the previous quarter.Continue reading the main story
Daiwa earned 11.9 billion yen, and Nikko had profit of 8.98 billion yen for the period. Both companies lost money during the previous quarter.
All three brokers reported a fall in stock trading commissions for the nine months through December. Nomura said stock commissions dropped e 27 percent from last year. Daiwa reported a 72.6 percent fall and Nikko a 41 percent decline.
''One-time factors helped tide the brokers over, but I'm not sure they're on track,'' said Sadateru Nishimura, an analyst at Fitch IBCA in Japan. Stock commissions, which had been a major source of profits, ''aren't even covering costs.''
Daiwa said it would take a 115 billion yen ($1 billion) charge for the year through March to cover losses at three nonbank affiliates.
Overseas, Daiwa said it posted a total pretax loss of 50.3 billion yen in the nine months. In the United States, Daiwa lost 24.4 billion yen on bond trading and 1.7 billion on severance pay and other restructuring costs. In Europe, Daiwa lost 19.1 billion yen on emerging market bonds and 2.4 billion yen on restructuring.
Nomura said current profit fell 33.7 percent, to 14.23 billion yen, in the nine months to December.
Nomura said it lost 21.4 billion yen overseas in the third quarter. The figure includes 15.4 billion yen in the United States.Continue reading the main story

Round about the the time last year when I was beginning to wonder if Sean had dropped off the face of the earth he uploaded this and proved that not only was he still on the Earth but that he's developed a really lovely tenor voice. It's difficult to do a song that's been covered as much as this one has and do it well. Enjoy :-).
Hello, peoples! My name is Sean Holshouser, as always, and this is my cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". I know very well that this is one of the most covered songs of all time, and I understand that I could never fill the shoes of the likes of K.D. Lang and Jeff Buckley. However, I feel that this recording was pretty well made, and I hope you guys think so too!
