We will return to secular stagnation. But we need to clear some ground first. What is an interest rate?
Imagine you are in a position to acquire a claim on a series of payments in the future. Since an asset is just anything that promises a stream of payments in the future, we will say you are thinking of buying of an asset. What will you look at to make your decision?
First is the size of the payments you will receive, as a fraction of what you pay today. We will call that the yield of the asset, or y. Against that we have to set the risk that the payments may be different from expected or not occur at all; we will call the amount you reduce your expected yield to account for this risk r. If you have to make regular payments beyond the purchase of the asset to receive income from it (perhaps taxes, or the costs of operating the asset if it is a capital good) then we also must subtract these carrying costs c. In addition, the asset may lose value over time, in which case we have to subtract the depreciation rate d. (In the case of an asset that only lasts one period — a loan to be paid back in full the next period, say — d will be equal to one.) On the other hand, owning an asset can have benefits beyond the yield. In particular, an asset can be sold or used as collateral. If this is easy to do, ownership of the asset allows you to make payments now, without having to waiting for its yield in the future. We call the value of the asset for making unexpected payments its liquidity premium, l. The market value of long-lasting assets may also change over time; assuming resale is possible, these market value changes will produce a capital gain g (positive or negative), which must be added to the return. Finally, you may place a lower value on the payments from the asset simply because they take place in the future; this might be because your needs now are more urgent than you expect them to be then, or simply because you prefer income in the present to income in the future. Either way, we have to subtract this pure time-substitution rate i.
So the value of an asset costing one unit (of whatever numeraire) will be 1 + y – r – c – d + l + g – i.
(EDIT: On rereading, this could use some clarification:
Of course all the terms can take on different (expected) values in different time periods, so they are vectors, not scalars. But if we assume they are constant, and that the asset lasts forever (i.e. a perpetuity), then we should write its equilibrium value as: V = Y/i, where Y is the total return in units of the numeraire, i.e. Y = V(y – r – c + l + g) and i is the discount rate. Divide through both sides by V/i and we have i = y – r – c + l + g. We can now proceed as below.)
In equilibrium, you should be just indifferent between purchasing and not purchasing this asset, so we can write:
y – r – c – d + l + g – i = 0, or
(1) y = r + c + d – l – g + i
So far, there is nothing controversial.
In formal economics, from Bohm-Bawerk through Cassel, Fisher and Samuelson to today's standard models, the practice is to simplify this relationship by assuming that we can safely ignore most of these terms. Risk, carrying costs and depreciation can be netted out of yields, capital gains must be zero on average, and liquidity is assumed not to matter or just ignored. So then we have:
(2) y = i
In these models, it doesn't matter if we use the term "interest rate" to mean y or to mean i, since they are always the same.
This assumption is appropriate for a world where there is only one kind of asset — a risk-free contract that exchanges one good in the present for 1 + i goods in the future. There's nothing wrong with exploring what the value of i would be in such a world under various assumptions.
The problem arises when we carry equation (2) over to the real world and apply it to the yield of some particular asset. On the one hand, the yield of every existing asset reflects some or all of the other terms. And on the other hand, every contract that involves payments in more than one period — which is to say, every asset — equally incorporates i. If we are looking for the "interest rate" of economic theory in the economic world we observe around us, we could just as well pick the rent-price ratio for houses, or the profit rate, or the deflation rate, or the ratio of the college wage premium to tuition costs. These are just the yields of a house, of a share of the capital stock, of cash and of a college degree respectively. All of these are a ratio of expected future payments to present cost, and should reflect i to exactly the same extent as the yield of a bond does. Yet in everyday language, it is the yield of the bond that we call "interest", even though it has no closer connection to the interest rate of theory than any of these other yields do.
This point was first made, as far as I know, by Sraffa in his review of Hayek's Prices and Production. It was developed by Keynes, and stated clearly in chapters 13 and 17 of the General Theory.
For Keynes, there is an additional problem. The price we observe as an "interest rate" in credit markets is not even the y of the bond, which would be i modified by risk, expected capital gains and liquidity. That is because bonds do not trade against baskets of goods. They trade against money. When we see a bond being sold with a particular yield, we are not observing the exchange rate between a basket of goods equivalent to the bond's value today and baskets of goods equivalent to its yield in the future. We are observing the exchange rate between the bond today and a quantity of money today. That's what actually gets exchanged. So in equilibrium the price of the bond is what equates the expected returns on the two assets:
(3) y_B – r_B + l_B + g_B – i = l_M – i
(Neither bonds nor money depreciate or have carrying costs, and money has no risk. If our numeraire is money then money also cannot experience capital gains. If our numeraire was a basket of goods instead, then -g would be expected inflation, which would appear on both sides and cancel out.)
What we see is that i appears on both sides, so it cancels out. The yield of the bond is given by:
(4) y_B = r_B – g_B + (l_M – l_B)
The yield of the bond — the thing that in conventional usage we call the "interest rate" — depends on the risk of the bond, the expected price change of the bond, and the liquidity premium of money compared with the bond. Holding money today, and holding a bond today, are both means to enable you to make purchases in the future. So the intertemporal substitution rate i does not affect the bond yield.
(We might ask whether the arbitrage exists that would allow us to speak of a general rate of time-substitution i in real economies at all. But for present purposes we can ignore that question and focus on the fact that even if there is such a rate, it does not show up in the yields we normally call "interest rates".)
This is the argument as Keynes makes it. It might seem decisive. But monetarists would reject it on the grounds that nobody in fact holds money as a store of value, so equation (3) does not apply. The bond-money market is not in equilibrium, because there is zero demand for money beyond that needed for current transactions at any price. (The corollary of this is the familiar monetarist claim that any change in the stock of money must result in a proportionate change in the value of transactions, which at full employment means a proportionate rise in the price level.) From the other side, endogenous money theorists might assert that the money supply is infinitely elastic for any credit-market interest rate, so l_M is endogenous and equation (4) is underdetermined.
As criticisms of the specific form of Keynes' argument, these are valid objections. But if we take a more realistic view of credit markets, we come to the same conclusion: the yield on a credit instrument (call this the "credit interest rate") has no relationship to the intertemporal substitution rate of theory (call this the "intertemporal interest rate.")
Suppose you are buying a house, which you will pay for by taking out a mortgage equal to the value of the house. For simplicity we will assume an amortizing mortgage, so you make the same payment each period. We can also assume the value of housing services you receive from the house will also be the same each period. (In reality it might rise or fall, but an expectation that the house will get better over time is obviously not required for the transaction to take place.) So if the purchase is worth making at all, then it will result in a positive income to you in every period. There is no intertemporal substitution on your side. From the bank's point of view, extending the mortgage means simultaneously creating an asset — their loan to you — and a liability — the newly created deposit you use to pay for the house. If the loan is worth making at all, then the expected payments from the mortgage exceed the expected default losses and other costs in every period. And the deposits are newly created, so no one associated with the bank has to forego any other expenditure in the present. There is no intertemporal substitution on the bank's side either.
(It is worth noting that there are no net lenders or net borrowers in this scenario. Both sides have added an asset and a liability of equal value. The language of net lenders and net borrowers is carried over from models with consumption loans at the intertemporal interest rate. It is not relevant to the credit interest rate.)
If these transactions are income-positive for all periods for both sides, why aren't they carried to infinity? One reason is that the yields for the home purchaser fall as more homes are purchased. In general, you will not value the housing services from a second home, or the additional housing services of a home that costs twice as much, as much as you value the housing services of the home you are buying now. But this only tells us that for any given interest rate there is a volume of mortgages at which the market will clear. It doesn't tell us which of those mortgage volume-interest rate pairs we will actually see.
The answer is on the liquidity side. Buying a house makes you less liquid — it means you have less flexibility if you decide you'd like to move elsewhere, or if you need to reduce your housing costs because of unexpected fall in income or rise in other expenses. You also have a higher debt-income ratio, which may make it harder for you to borrow in the future. The loan also makes the bank less liquid — since its asset-capital ratio is now higher, there are more states of the world in which a fall in income would require it to sell assets or issue new liabilities to meet its scheduled commitments, which might be costly or, in a crisis, impossible. So the volume of mortgages rises until the excess of housing service value over debt service costs make taking out a mortgage just worth the incremental illiquidity for the marginal household, and where the excess of mortgage yield over funding costs makes issuing a new mortgage just worth the incremental illiquidity for the marginal bank. (Incremental illiquidity in the interbank market may — or may not — mean that funding costs rise with the volume of loans, but this is not necessary to the argument.)
Monetary policy affects the volume of these kinds of transactions by operating on the l terms. Normally, it does so by changing the quantity of liquid assets available to the financial system (and perhaps directly to the nonfinancial private sector as well). In this way the central bank makes banks (and perhaps households and businesses) more or less willing to accept the incremental illiquidity of a new loan contract. Monetary policy has nothing to do with substitution between expenditure in the present period and expenditure in some future period. Rather, it affects the terms of substitution between more and less liquid claims on income in the same future period.
Note that changing the quantity of liquid assets is not the only way the central bank can affect the liquidity premium. Banking regulation, lender of last resort operations and bailouts also change the liquidity premium, by chaining the subjective costs of bank balance sheet expansion. An expansion of the reserves available to the banking system makes it cheaper for banks to acquire a cushion to protect themselves against the possibility of an unexpected fall in income. This will make them more willing to hold relatively illiquid assets like mortgages. But a belief that the Fed will take emergency action prevent a bank from failing in the event of an unexpected fall in income also increases its willingness to hold assets like mortgages. And it does so by the same channel — reducing the liquidity premium. In this sense, there is no difference in principle between monetary policy and the central bank's role as bank supervisor and lender of last resort. This is easy to understand once you think of "the interest rate" as the price of liquidity, but impossible to see when you think of "the interest rate" as the price of time substitution.
It is not only the central bank that changes the liquidity premium. If mortgages become more liquid — for instance through the development of a regular market in securitized mortgages — that reduces the liquidity cost of mortgage lending, exactly as looser monetary policy would.
The irrelevance of the time-substitution rate i to the credit-market interest rate y_B becomes clear when you compare observed interest rates with other prices that also should incorporate i. Courtesy of commenter rsj at Worthwhile Canadian Initiative, here's one example: the Baa bond rate vs. the land price-rent ratio for residential property.
Both of these series are the ratio of one year's payment from an asset, to the present value of all future payments. So they have an equal claim to be the "interest rate" of theory. But as we can see, none of the variation in credit-market interest rates (y_B, in my terms) show up in the price-rent ratio. Since variation in the time-substituion rate i should affect both ratios equally, this implies that none of the variation in credit-market interest rates is driven by changes in the time-substitution interest rate. The two "interest rates" have nothing to do with each other.
(Continued here.)
EDIT: Doesn't it seem strange that I first assert that mortgages do not incorporate the intertemporal interest rate, then use the house price-rent ratio as an example of a price that should incorporate that rate? One reason to do this is to test the counterfactual claim that interest rates do, after all, incorporate Samuelson's interest rate i. If i were important in both series, they should move together; if they don't, it might be important in one, or in neither.
But beyond that, I think housing purchases do have an important intertemporal component, in a way that loan contracts do not. That's because (with certain important exceptions we are all aware of) houses are not normally purchased entirely on credit. A substantial fraction of the price is paid is upfront. In effect, most house purchases are two separate transactions bundled together: A credit transaction (for, say, 80 percent of the house value) in which both parties expect positive income in all periods, at the cost of less liquid balance sheets; and a conceptually separate cash transaction (for, say, 20 percent) in which the buyer foregoes present expenditure in return for a stream of housing services in the future. Because house purchases must clear both of these markets, they incorporate i in way that loans do not. But note, i enters into house prices only to the extent that the credit-market interest rate does not. The more important the credit-market interest rate is in a given housing purchase, the less important the intertemporal interest rate is.
This is true in general, I think. Credit markets are not a means of trading off the present against the future. They are a means of avoiding tradeoffs between the present and the future.

The sweet contender
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – It was the first day Amp green replaced Bud red as the color of choice in NASCAR grandstands, and it takes some getting used to, not just because the new look of Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans is so decidedly garish.
For NASCAR, though, it was a site to behold – cash registers spinning, word of a near mob scene at the opening of his adidas line the other day and this entire shift of Junior from his dad's old company to the sport's best one.
But mostly it meant one thing – Earnhardt in contention to the very end here at the Daytona 500. He wound up ninth – no threat in the final lap to winner Ryan Newman – when stuck on old tires that kept him bottled up in late traffic.
"I couldn't do much," he said after Sunday's race. "I was kind of in a box. I was on the bottom, and I couldn't do anything."
But he was in it; he was a contender. Driving for his new Hendrick Motorsports team, the change proved to be more than colors and numbers and jokes about what fans were going to do with their red No. 8 tattoos.
This time, he wasn't back at his trailer halfway though the day looking over another blown engine.
"I am real proud of Hendrick and the effort they gave me," he said. "I think the year is going to be like that, and I am really going to enjoy it."
If so, NASCAR will, too. The circuit's television ratings aren't in the same boat as the PGA Tour – where it practically is Tiger or famine – but as the sport has stalled out in popularity in recent years and ratings have sunk, a revival of Earnhardt's career would be more than welcomed.
Everyone knows he can sell stuff; everyone knows he can draw media attention. The question is whether he can win.
Sunday didn't answer that, but it looked like a step in the right direction.
This was the 63rd consecutive start for Earnhardt that didn't end under a flurry of checkers. And if you think competing was enough for this guy, you didn't see the disappointment and regret on his face after.
"I made the wrong choices," he said. "Just made poor choices."
He brushed off the decision to stay out and not taking new tires late in the race.
"It wasn't the tires; we had good grip at the end," he said, defending his crew chief's decision not to pit for new tires when the rest of the leaders did.
He was more upset with not making runs at the right time and getting stuck behind cars at the worst possible moment.
"(He) just kind of got out of time with the lines running," said crew chief Tony Eury Jr. "He made a shot to go with Kyle (Busch) at the end, and it didn't work. I feel really good, though. (The car) was running good all night. The car was good; that's a big plus."
So that's the challenge now; that's the pressure on Earnhardt. He made the emotional and contentious move from the struggling Dale Earnhardt Inc. to Hendrick, a dominant team the last couple of years, because he wanted to win. He wanted to be a champion.
It was four years ago that Earnhardt won this race, an emotional victory at the track where his father died in 2001. That win also seemed to be the start of something special – the first race of a season that shot Earnhardt into the stratosphere. He won six races that year, proving worthy of his rock star status among the fans.
NASCAR was a world about to become his. Junior on the way, it seemed, to becoming every bit the driver of his seven-time Cup champion father.
But then he won once in 2005, once in 2006 and threw a complete oh-fer for 2007.
And while NASCAR's sagging fortunes aren't exclusively tied to Junior's, you can't expect not to feel some damaging effects if your most popular player isn't putting up the numbers.
So here were those final, furious laps at the 50th Daytona 500, a series of restarts dictating bumper-to-bumper, door-to-door-to-door racing. And there Earnhardt was right in the middle of it, that unfamiliar white and green car giving as good as it was getting. It wasn't the fastest on the track, but it was contending for the win, which is the most important thing.
"We had great motors all week and another one today," he said.
Afterward, Earnhardt weaved through the garage area surrounded by a horde of media. He took time to wave occasionally to his screaming fans, but mostly he never stopped moving.
He was polite but clearly ready to get back to his motor home and contemplate what went wrong, what can be done better next week.
"Going (to try) to build on this," he said.
Soon, he took a seat in a golf cart and took off, the end of the first day of the rest of Dale Earnhardt's racing career.
A good start. But not good enough, he knows.

My life's changing so fast I've got whiplash! Two weeks ago, the only reporting I did was for the website… Cute little league stuff – yeah, I was that junior.
Now I'm in Barcelona, Spain, reporting on the biggest signing in US soccer history – the tanned, ripped, and outrageously cocky superstar striker Alex Rodriquez. Suddenly my career's not just going places, it's flying there business class.
Fast cars, late nights and loose women? Alex is any journalist's wet dream. He's my one chance to show that I'm more than just a pretty face. And I'm going to snatch it with both hands, even if that means sacrificing his career to send mine to the stratosphere.
I'm supposed to be the new face of WBC Sports. But I don't even recognize the girl staring back at me in the mirror.

Posted by Asako Tsumagari on 16 Sep 2007,
A Fortune 500 multinational corporation just signed on to buy 100,000 widgets from your small business. Shall we toast to champagne? Hold on to that cork, my dear friend! Actually, this may become your nightmare of all nightmares if you're not careful.
In the blogshere, you'll find plenty of articles teaching you how to catch that big name customer. You'll find tips on how to do cold calls, customize your product, prepare your sales presentation, etc. What's harder to come buy are caveats about why entrepreneurs need to take great care when serving a big name customer.
Caveat Venditor
Some of the more obvious reasons for caution include the following:
- A big customer can quickly withdraw from your business mid stream if your competitor catches on and provides a better offer. If you had already made an investment to beef up production for your big customer, you may run into trouble as your blunted revenues cannot cover your fixed costs.
- A big customer may request a tight contractual arrangement requiring, for example, their option to return excess inventory. This would transfer their business risk to you.
- A big customer may request special product customization. For example, a large retailer like Wal-Mart or Costco may ask for a unique jumbo-sized package that you are restricted from selling through other channels. Given the potential sales volume, this customization sounds worth it. However, for your single-minded small business, this could create complexity in operations that can wreak havoc on your base business.
When Getting Paid Could Still Spell Bankruptcy
There's one other key risk, which I believe is worth mentioning in and of itself. Expect a slow payment process.
Many big companies have a payment cycle of 60 to 90 days. Moreover, many provide payment at the end of the month. So, assuming a "90-day" cycle, if you were to produce and ship 100,000 widgets to the customer on March 1st, you would not receive payment until June 30th. That's actually 120 days. Forget the fact that your terms are NET 30. It won't likely happen.
What is wrong with 120 days? Well, many things can happen to your small business during this period. Your suppliers and staff may demand payment from you, for one. But your cash will be stuck in the account receivables. I've seen some small business run on the verge of bankruptcy due to this phenomenon.
What's worse is that big companies may fail to deliver the payment on time even after 120 days. With automated payment processes, their accounting system may not always jive with the exact language of your invoice. If your invoice is missing their purchase order number, for example, payment may not go through. So your invoice bounces back through the system to the purchase order originator, delaying your payment another month. Then, possibly, as your invoice goes through the process again, the customer they do not have your tax ID number logged in their system because you are a new supplier. Again, count on bouncing another month away.
Big companies will pay you, eventually, so don't worry about that. They'll even pay interest or penalty fees for delays, if you agreed upon them in your contract. But that's not the point. Your account receivables is stuck for 5-6 months. Meanwhile, your base customers (your "bread and butter", don't forget them) cannot place good-sized orders because you may not have the cash to buy inventory. If you decide to borrow money to build inventory and then find out that your big customer is returning significant excess inventory, you may find yourself on the way toward bankruptcy.
The Bottom Line
So if you are a small business owner who receives a large order from a big name customer, make sure you take a close look at your cash situation. Run scenario analyses to see what risks you may encounter. Do due diligence on the customer to know their complete reputation. They may a great reputation and brand as a company, but what is their reputation as buyer? Check to see you have a contingency fund to survive the worst case scenario.
In short, realize that taking on a big customer is a calculated risk, with its opportunity and uncertainty. With that said, slowly sip your champagne.

COAST GUARD AND MARITIME TRANSPORTATION TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS ACT OF 2004 -- (House of Representatives - December 07, 2004)
Mr. LoBIONDO. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure be discharged from further consideration of the bill (H.R. 5426) to make technical corrections relating to the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2004, and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
The Clerk read the title of the bill.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from New Jersey?
Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, while I do not intend to object, I do believe the gentleman should explain the relatively minor technical, truly technical changes, and I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey, the chairman of the subcommittee.
Mr. LoBIONDO. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 5426 makes technical corrections to Public Law 108-293, the Coast Guard Maritime Transportation Act of 2004. The bill does not make any substantive changes to the existing law, and I urge my colleagues to support this measure.
Mr. OBERSTAR. Mr. Speaker, further reserving the right to object, our side has reviewed the bill. We are in full accord with the explanation that the gentleman just made. They are truly technical in nature to correct typographical errors and to eliminate section number duplications.
Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.

At the end of last year a task force of veterinary experts published new 2016 AAHA End-of-Life Care Guidelines. These guidelines recommend dramatic changes to the way terminally ill pets should receive care as they approach their final days. Is your veterinarian following them?
Cody's Story
On May 28, 2016 I made the heartbreaking decision to euthanize my beautiful dog Cody. That decision wasn't made in one day, but slowly over a six-month period. Cody's two-year battle with Inflammatory Bowel Disease was getting worse and affecting his quality of life. Still, if that was Cody's only health problem I would not have made the choice to euthanize. We were dealing with it. But, Cody had also begun to have neurological problems. His hind legs crisscrossed when he walked and he could not hold his head straight. On his final day, Cody couldn't figure out how to hold his head in a position that would allow him to take a treat from my hand.
The week leading up to Cody's death was difficult for my veterinarian as well as me. I took Cody to see him three times. Even as an experienced pet parent who has raised 9 dogs and 6 cats, I had a hard time comprehending that we were coming to the end. I was in denial and I think my veterinarian was too.
At each office visit that terrible week, he did the same procedures he had performed during the previous visit. He gave Cody a quick exam and made a few recommendations. He never mentioned euthanasia or that he suspected Cody was dying. Finally, while I was on the phone with him during a nighttime call, he admitted that everything we were doing for Cody at this point, was like putting on a Band-Aid on a gun shot wound. His comment gave me the courage I needed to end Cody's suffering.
Why we need the AAHA End-of-Life Care Guidelines
End-of-Life care seems as confusing for veterinarians as it is for pet owners. That's why the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and the Association for Animal Hospice and Palliative Care (IAAHPC) established a task force to create clear-cut End-of-Life Care Guidelines.
Leading veterinarians along with pet hospice and palliative care professionals, plus animal pain management specialists were tasked with the job. They came from the top schools of veterinary medicine in the country.
Heather Loenser, DVM, AAHA's veterinary advisor worked on the task force. In an AAHA publication she said, "These guidelines have shown me how I can bridge the gap between the time of diagnosis of a terminal illness and when the animal passes away. Since this time can extend to be days, weeks, or even months, this gives the veterinary team multiple opportunities to provide invaluable care to the pet and pet owner, allowing the pet's final time beside the owner to be as comfortable as possible."
The Guidelines focus on patient comfort, minimizing suffering and establishing a supportive partnership between veterinary staff and the pet owner. They recommend that care be a team effort between the veterinarian, palliative care/ hospice care professionals, and the pet's family.
Palliative/hospice caregivers are a critical part of the guidelines. These professionals are responsible for keeping a pet comfortable in their own home, managing pain, and providing veterinarians with medical updates. In addition, their knowledge can educate owners about the stages of a disease, how to recognize symptoms of pain, and support owners emotionally.
The End-of-Life Pyramid
The task force created a three-tier pyramid of guidelines. These include physical care at the base, social care in the middle and emotional care at the top. All three play an important role.
- Physical care: Pain management, managing symptoms, hygiene, nutrition, mobility, safety and environment.
- Social care: Engagement with the family, engagement with other pets, and mental stimulation.
- Emotional care: Dignity of the pet, the will to live, and assessing suffering and stress.
The 2016 AAHA End-of-Life Guidelines are available to download.
I wish my veterinarian had offered some of these resources during Cody's final days. Having a team to turn to would have eased the panic I felt, not knowing if I was doing the wrong or right things for my dog. It is my hope that the End-of-Life Guidelines become common practice in the veterinary world. Pets and people will both benefit.

Lord Carlisle of Bucklow: My Lords, I realise that the hour is getting late. But, like the noble Earl, Lord Russell, there is a fundamental principle behind the amendments proposed by my noble friend Lady Blatch, and I am delighted to see that the Attorney-General has been good enough to attend to reply to this debate.
I did not take part in the Committee stage and therefore I want to set out, I hope briefly, what I understand it is the Government are proposing and the effect of this amendment. As I understand it, if one looks at the clauses referred to, the Bill provides four new orders for a court to make: first, an exclusion order which, in certain circumstances, would prevent an individual going to certain places at certain times; secondly, a drug abstinence order which would require an individual to undergo drug tests; thirdly, a curfew requirement which imposes requirements on persons subject to curfew; and, fourthly, an exclusion requirement, which would impose requirements on those who were the subject of an exclusion order.
The Bill lays down the maximum period for which any of those orders can be made. I understand it to be proposed that the Secretary of State or the Home Office should have power by secondary legislation to extend the maximum period of the order which this House is now approving in the Bill and therefore the maximum order, which by the decision of this House, the courts can now impose. It is proposed that that should apply at any stage to this Bill and the powers which we are providing in it. They may be small matters but every one of them in some way curtails a right of the individual. It may be his right as against an exclusion order; his right to refuse to be tested for drugs; or his right to go where he wishes during the period of a curfew order.
We should consider carefully what is the situation of this House when increasing the powers of the order which a court can make. I believe that the separation of powers between the judiciary and the legislature is extremely important. I believe that there is a delicate balance often to be struck. I believe it vital that we should always realise that the power of the judiciary is to impose sentences--and I accept in this case pass fairly nominal orders--within the power granted to them by the legislature.
The question is whether it is right that the legislature should allow those powers to be varied by means of secondary rather than primary legislation. I put it to the noble and learned Lord the Attorney-General that the parameters--where we draw the line of that which the court is entitled to do--are extremely important. Those who draw the parameters must be accountable to society for the parameters they draw.
I am not saying that Parliament is not responsible for a statutory order. It is, but it is not in the same way responsible as it is for primary legislation. I believe that when we are changing those parameters so as to prevent the citizens of this country doing acts which otherwise they lawfully can do it is important that that matter should have the opportunity of full parliamentary debate. I suspect that pretty well all I have said, if it made sense at all, would not be disagreed with by the noble and learned Lord the Attorney-General.
The argument put by the Minister who replied in Committee went no further than to say, "You have to have flexibility and there is not enough time". Of course, I accept that the whole object of an Opposition is to take up time. The Government's legislative programme is always under pressure but it is no excuse to say, "We wish to affect individual rights by order merely because we do not have time to get the primary legislation through the House". I hope that the Attorney-General will reflect on what is said in this debate. My noble and learned friend Lord Mayhew, who is a member of the Select Committee, may also say a few words. The Select Committee made it absolutely clear that it was concerned about the powers being taken in the Bill.
The Minister who replied to the debate said that there were precedents for what was sought to be done. That is probably so. However, what are those precedents, and is it right to move in this way? It is difficult to go against the advice of the Select Committee comprising people of such eminence as my noble friend Lord Alexander. I hope that the Attorney-General will confirm my understanding of the effect of these amendments and reflect on whether it is right to act by secondary rather than primary legislation.
Lord Mayhew of Twysden: My Lords, I do not speak as someone who considers himself an eminent member of the Select Committee or of an Opposition whose only object is to take up time. My noble friend Lord Carlisle and I share the additional objective of helping Parliament as a whole to get the legislation right.
It is helpful to turn to the mantra which heads every report, including the 22nd report, of the Delegated Powers and Deregulation Committee:
The committee is called upon to express an opinion as to whether the delegation of power in a Bill is appropriate. One has only to read the annual report of my noble friend Lord Alexander of Weedon, who chairs the Select Committee, to see that it is an all-party committee which since its establishment has never expressed an opinion as a result of a vote. That is certainly so in the case of the report now under discussion. I pause, or perhaps I am flannelling, to allow the Attorney to be informed, because Attorneys do not take instructions. On this occasion, as on all others, the committee arrived at the conclusion, without any division, that it would be inappropriate to permit the extension by order of a sentence of each of the kinds dealt with in the amendments.
I hope that when he comes to reply the Attorney will tell the House why he considers it appropriate, contrary to the views of the committee--which are not binding--to increase the powers. If noble Lords were debating a provision to diminish a sentencing power it would be a different matter. That would not impinge on the liberty of the subject, whereas here it does.
In conclusion, I should like to put two questions. First, what are the precedents, if any? In paragraph 16 of the 22nd report we find that the Home Office identified two precedents: Sections 45 and 50 of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000. A footnote reminds us that there is a third precedent in Section 50. However, paragraph 16 states that the Home Office,
Secondly, what are the circumstances in which the Government would view it as expedient to have an order-making power to enlarge this sentencing power? We are not in the habit of suffering a drought in legislation from the Home Office in the criminal justice field. What is the urgency? Why not wait for the next criminal justice Bill or similar measure? I would be greatly assisted by replies to those two questions.
Lord Williams of Mostyn: My Lords, I am most grateful for the contributions that have been so moderately made. There is no question of ignoring the advice of the committee. It is a committee of great eminence. It is always enormously respected by the House. What the committee said was that it recommended that the powers should be omitted. If those powers are to remain--contrary to its recommendation--the committee suggests that they should be subject to affirmative procedure. So it is only fair that I should read out the whole of the caveat and point out that we have gone to the compromise position of the affirmative procedure.
The noble and learned Lord, Lord Mayhew of Twysden, put to me one or two questions about precedents and what would be the requirement for the order-making power. The requirement comes because the orders are experimental in nature and are due to be
The noble Lord, Lord Carlisle of Bucklow, asked me to confirm that he was correct in his description--I do--where speaking of exclusion orders, drug abstinence orders and exclusion and curfew requirements of community service orders. So the noble Lord is quite right.
I return to precedents. The maximum period of a community order can be increased by secondary legislation. The maximum term of a probation order and a curfew order can be amended using delegated powers. Section 49 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 allows the proportion of a prison sentence spent in custody to be changed, including its increase by secondary legislation. I am happy to deal with the points--the two barrels of that very fine shotgun, respectively the noble Lord, Lord Carlisle, and the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mayhew.
It seems to me--I put this only for consideration--that that power is a very significant power going directly to the liberty of the individual who is incarcerated. If one wants to look qualitatively at the differences between imprisonment and the kind of orders which the noble Lord, Lord Carlisle, correctly identified, I would suggest, with great respect, that Section 49 of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 is a more significant potential interference with the true liberty of an individual and that it can be increased by secondary legislation.

Swimmers continue to develop their skills at the Tyne and Wear Hub
On Saturday 25th March, swimmers from clubs within Tyne and Wear attend another successful Tyne and Wear hub session, this time hosted by the City of Sunderland Swimming Club at the Sunderland Aquatics Centre.
City of Sunderland's coach Paul Robinson led the session which focused on starts and turns. Swimmers split into four groups and worked on different 'stations' around the pool where they practiced a range of skills and techniques. City of Sunderland's elite swimmers, Adam Taylor, Jonathan Carlisle, Freya Reyna and Alex Clements were also on hand to provide expert demonstrations.
The feedback from the swimmers and the coaches about the session was really positive with many of them wishing the session had been longer! A lot of swimmers commented on how they didn't realise how important starts and turns were and how they now know that their body position is vital in getting a good finish.
It's great to see clubs, coaches and swimmers working together to share knowledge and develop their skills though the hub sessions and the Northumberland and Durham Beacon programme which was also running a session at the Sunderland Aquatics Centre.
The next Tyne and Wear hub session will be hosted by Tynemouth Swimming Club on the 7th May 2016.

I used to have friends. Now, I guess I still do. But I rarely see them. I have mostly isolated myself.
I am entirely responsible for this situation. I didn't call my friends and rarely emailed them. It started when I was living abroad and over time, we ended up being in contact less and less.
I could have acted differently and the outcome would have been different. But I made choices. I wasn't that conscious about them at the time, but nevertheless I made those choices. I spent more time with my family and also on my own, reading, playing games, watching films.
Now I could say that others are responsible for this situation. I could say that my friends didn't keep in touch with me. Or that my wife and family were asking for too much of my time. Or that it was because I was living in a foreign country: it was all inevitable.
In the past, I might have called out others or external events as the cause for this situation. Not anymore. I decided to take full responsibility for my life and what happens to me. I accept that my actions influence the likelihood of specific events taking place. And my reactions to those events are under my control.
We are where we are today because of our past decisions and actions.
If you were not aware of it, take your time and let it sink in. Think about all the small and big decisions that you have made in the past and how they have shaped your path. Realize you are in control of your life.
Even though external events also influence our path, we can still control that path. As Jimmy Dean said: "I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination".
Now, you might disagree and claim that it is external events that mostly shape your fate. If that's the case, I don't think you'll get much out of reading the rest of the article.
But if you're ready to take full responsibility and if you're not 100% happy of where you are today, now is the time to change.
You're The Boss
Taking full responsibility for your life means not making others responsible for your fate.
Stop saying that you didn't have enough time in your life to accomplish what you wanted to. And stop saying that you're not where you want to be now because of your environment, your life circumstances or your skills.
Now you can blame others for something that happened to you. But you have to take responsibility for your life. Like Hal Elrod explains in his book The Miracle Morning: he wasn't at fault for the terrible car accident he was involved into and he can blame the drunk driver that crashed into him, but he took responsibility for improving his life after the crash.
There is a tendency in our society to play victims and to blame everyone else and everything for our circumstances. This is encouraged by social networks and even the media. It goes like this: the economy is bad, the world is in a political turmoil, unscrupulous individuals are responsible for the mess, successful people are lucky, and so on.
I strongly encourage you to take a step back now and think about your life. If it's all about external events, then how come people with similar (or worse) circumstances to yours have had very different outcomes in their lives (for better or worse)?
Don't be like everyone else, take the bull by the horns and be the boss of your life!
Practically, that means letting go of the past and focus on building your future:
- Look at where you are now. What's working well and what needs fixing in your life?
- Decide where you want to go, what person you want to become.
- Then make a plan on how to get there and take action.
Take small steps first, focus on one thing at a time. Get results and build up your confidence. Then, raise your standards!
Think of your journey like a fantasy novel. You are the hero and you are about to embark on an epic quest. There will be grave dangers ahead (procrastination), monsters lurking (your fears), but through your bravery you can defeat them all and save the princess (your life).
So wear your armor if you need, take your horse with you, but fulfill your destiny and never turn back! Embark on this adventure, don't stay hiding in your room like a coward.
To inspire you, here's the story of Anthony Burgess and how he reacted to his life circumstances.
When Anthony Burgess was 40, he learned that he had a brain tumor that would kill him within a year. At that time he was broke and had nothing to leave behind for his wife. As he knew he had writing potential within him, he decided to write novels in hope that his wife would get royalties. He started typing, not knowing whether he would be able to finish his novel to publish it.
He wrote frantically for the whole year and finished five and a half novels by the end of the year.
In the end, Burgess didn't die. His cancer went into remission and disappeared. He ended up writing more than 70 books during his whole life, including A Clockwork Orange. Without the death sentence he might have not written at all, who knows. But he decided to react to his life events in a committed and achievement focused way.
If you had only one year to live, what would you do? How would you react?
Like Anthony, we all have greatness inside. What are you waiting for to bring it out? Are you going to keep blaming the environment for not getting the life you want?
Your life is a journey, a story of challenges you have to overcome to grow and realize your potential. So, take control of it.

This book is a story about three young girls – Jazmine, Tia, and Leena who rent a house together in Pune. The book deals with their loves, life, and their friendship with each other.
This is a light (very light) chick-lit novel that will appeal to younger readers who are looking for more contemporary/modern romances apart from the stereotypical Mills n Boon type of stories.
I remember loving these type of books during my younger years – the formula hasn't changed much since then. Three girls with very different personality types share a house, and go through their ups and downs while they look for love and sometimes professional satisfaction.
So, when I read this book, I didn't feel anything really new coming from it. It's quite possible that I have outgrown this genre. But, I think younger readers will really love this book.
The title is very descriptive of the three characters dress-up style.
Polka dots is Tia who is very sweet and nice, fashion forward, but also a very good cook…all in all, the perfect dream girl.
Pony tails is Leena who is shy and who always hides behind her fringe and pony tail. Some bad experiences in her past makes her lean towards older (and sometimes married) men because she sees them as more stable and less frivolous than younger men.
Purple pouts is Jazmine – the wild child of the bunch. She is the one who loves to party, sleeps around without any qualms, and who generally lives life to the fullest. Until of course, the day she needs to face the consequences of her actions…
The story as such is fairly predictable, even for a non-romcom reader. All the girls go through their share of heartbreak and tough times before they find their respective Mr.Perfects. In terms of story, I liked it, but I wish certain parts were fleshed out more. The story and the characters rush forward in places where it would have done better to think back and contemplate their actions.
Events like Jazmine's abrupt forgiveness of an ex, Leena's abrupt love affair with her colleague (without showing any wish to look back and understand her past mistakes and resolve open issues) make the story flow at a very superficial level. Only Tia's love affair shows some depth and even then it is rushed towards the end.
Basically, I like this book. It was nice, but it could have been even better if the book was a little longer and a little more time invested in giving the girls a little more depth. As such, it makes for a light airplane/travel read when it had the potential to be a lot more than that.
Thanks to the author for sending me a copy of this book to read and review. I also read this book as part of the Indian Quills Reading Challenge.

Winnie's Queen of Drumbo in crowning glory of final
Olwinn Queen went into the Martin Lavery Pet Foods & DTC final, a warm favourite to take the £400 prize for Castledawson owner Winnie O'Neill at Drumbo Park and duly delivered .
The Queen clocked a brilliant 29.07 in her semi-final and that saw her go into the decider odds-on but early on, backers were of a nervous disposition. She did not come away with any sharpness and was only third going round the first two bends as Uppa Murph kicked on and opened up a comfortable lead down the far side.
Nut Hill Vixen was in the mix and turning for home, Olwinn still had plenty to do but on the home stretch, her stamina came into play and she prevailed by a cosy two and a half lengths from Murph with Vixen half-a-length back in third (29.62) on a surface rated 20 spots slow.
Two semi-finals of a sprint competition under the same sponsorship, saw Derry dog Lissane Impact put his mark on the event with a solid display despite a slow start.
Owned by Daniel Ward, Lissane had the gears to reach the first bend in front of Shawdeco Hunter and Camlin Eagle and went on to hold Mucho Macho Mick by half-a-length with Hunter qualifying in third.
The first 'semi' was reduced to four runners and it was Big Baby who came off best, coming through on the inner to beat Mucho Macho Emma a length with Nut Hill Martin back in third (18.30).
Beaming Bully came back to winning form for Banbridge trainer Michael Taggart and owner Paul Ryan in the penultimate heat of a £400 A4 Dual Distance (525/550) with Astra Promise second.
Coalisland-based Melvin Charm followed up his success at this level the previous week coming through with a decisive challenge, proving three lengths better than Meenagh (29.16).
Strong stayer Whistling Brandy is also in the final, the black dog owned by Tyrone pair Colin Admason and Gerard Hamill, removing his maiden tag at the fifth attempt. He hit the front at the third bend and defeated Drumna Sun by four and a half lengths (29.10).

"We and the cosmos are one. The cosmos is a vast body, of which we are still parts. The sun is a great heart whose tremors run through our smallest veins. The moon is a great gleaming nerve-centre from which we quiver forever. Who knows the power that"
"The good parts of a book may be only something a writer is lucky enough to overhear or it may be the wreck of his whole damn life -and one is as good as the other."
"If you procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem... break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time."
"One who shows signs of mental aberration is, inevitably, perhaps, but cruelly, shut off from familiar, thoughtless intercourse, partly excommunicated; his isolation is unwittingly proclaimed to him on every countenance by curiosity, indifference, aversion, or pity, and in so far as he is human enough to need free and equal communication and feel the lack of it, he suffers pain and loss of a kind and degree which others can only faintly imagine, and for the most part ignore."
"I always chose sophisticated parts because you can't really be interesting as a young girl or outstanding as an ingenue."
"There's a little vanity chair that Charlie gave me the first Christmas we knew each other. I'll not be parting with that, nor our bed-the four-poster-I'll be needing that to die in."

Every month ChristianAudio.com offers a free audiobook. This month (May 2014) they are offering the Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God by J. I. Packer. Click the image to the right for details.
About the Book:
If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all?
J. I. Packer shows in this classic study how both of these attitudes are false. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he shows how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.
About the Author:
J. I. Packer is author of the best selling Christian classic Knowing God. He is Board of Governors Professor of Theology at Regent College in Vancouver.

AS SSD is a benchmark that uses non-compressible and completely random data. What this means is that the drives using the SF-2281 controller cannot compress the data first, which takes away one of the strong advantages of this controller. Therefore this is a useful benchmark because drives that use the SF-2281 don't gain an upper hand.
Marvell-driven SSDs have traditionally performed well on this benchmark and the Plextor M5M didn't disappoint. On the copy benchmark, it was easily quicker than Intel SSD 520 Series mSATA drive and was comparable to the rest of 2.5-inch form factor SandForce drives. Performance was also pretty comparable to the Plextor M5 Pro.
Performance on the rest of the benchmarks, particular sequential read/write and and 4k, 64 threads read/write was impressive, and the Plextor M5M was comfortably ahead of all the drives except the Plextor M5 Pro and Vertex 4.

We are quickly closing in on my favorite time of year. Call me crazy, but I absolutely love fall! I love the colors, the weather, the leaves fall, the smells, I just love everything about it….it's the reason we were married in October. I wanted wild flowers, fall colors, and leaves on the ground.
Since we moved, I have done much seasonal decorating around the house. We've done a few things outside for the holidays and put out a couple of things around the house the last two years but I have yet to go all out crazy with decor.
Until now.
I plan to go crazy this year and decorate until my heart is content and nobody is going to stop me. I've been pinning crafts, creating in my head and tonight, after a trip to Dollar Tree, I created my first two pieces of fall decor.
Dollar Tree is filled with sooooo much fall decor right now, I'm already planning a return trip to grab a few more things. Shhhhh…..don't tell Alex.
On this trip, I grabbed some items that I just loved without really having a plan. I figured I would just figure it out when I got home and I'm happy to say, it was a success!
Here is everything I grabbed for $17.94.
One thing I knew I had to get and use somehow were some of my favorite fall flowers. I grabbed a variety of sunflower bushes and fall leaves as well as some mini ornamental pumpkins and gourds in assorted colors. From there I stumbled upon some beautiful ribbons, a premade branch wreath form and along with a few other items and then made my way home and began crafting.
Once I laid everything out in front of me, it didn't take long for me to decide what I wanted to do. This is when my first fall craft project turned into two!
For less than $20, I made these two crafts for our home.
A wreath decorated with burgandy, orange and gold now hangs on the wall in our living room.
With the remaining items I purchased, I created this fall centerpiece for our kitchen table and I absolutely love the way it turned out!
I am looking forward to doing a few more fall crafts as well as purchasing some fall decor from Dollar Tree as well when I return to the store next week.
What is your favorite thing about fall?

Is our recruitment not up to scratch or is our club lacking appeal to potential signings? Weren't we in the running for Sezer? What happened there? He picked Canberra and Ricky Stuart over us for crying out loud!! And wtf happened to this Tom Burgess talk? Who are we making a play for? Don't tell me a young kid like Elgey is supposed to be our marquee signing. Times running out, as each day goes by there is less options available to us. Are we going to sign anyone of relevance or are we just digging ourselves into a bigger hole? Very frustrated to see other teams sign players.

Bear Stuffed Toys
By: Angeline Hope |

Bear stuffed toys were inspired by the teddy bear just as bears were the models for the original teddy bear created in 1902. Grizzly bears, in fact, were what was used as a the model for the teddy. Later on, other species of bear, such as the panda and the polar bear, became inspiration for bear stuffed toys.

Large Plush Toys and the Most Famous of all Teddy Bear's
By: Shelley Vassall |
Very few of us can say that at one time or another, we didn't have a favorite soft toy; whether it was a teddy bear or a frog, it was a treasured companion. Large plush toys (and even the smaller versions) really are staples of childhood – without them, growing up just wouldn't be quite the same. Besides the Steiff company, which was responsible for the creation of the first teddy bear, there were others that followed in their footsteps that also produced top quality soft toys.

I don't brew collaboratively as much as I used to. I've been blogging about beer for five years this week and originally I was only doing it to get into brewing school. The focus on brewing was a great deal heavier at that point because I was trying to build a resume. The focus is less on brewing at this point, but the background is immensely helpful. You'd be amazed how many people write about beer without knowing how it works.
Truly, I love the creative part of brewing. I like the recipe development part a lot. The part I don't like is the endless squeegeeing and line flushing and scrubbing and raking out mash tuns. 90% of brewing is custodial work. Don't confuse "custodial" with "janitorial." It requires caretaking and watchfulness. It requires meticulous planning. Believe it or not, one of my favorite parts is the bottle filling and washing. I like the repetitive rhythmic element. That beta wave mental twilight that comes with constant occupation. It's not entirely like sifting through historical archives.
This year for the Session Beer Festival's Collaboration Nation I'm working with Innocente Brewing in Waterloo, Ontario to combine those two elements. Depending on what we choose to name it, we may be brewing the most recursive beer in the history of the world.
See if you can follow this:
For the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, we're brewing a Belgian-Style farmhouse ale inspired by the farmhouse (La Haye Sainte) on the battlefield at Waterloo, the namesake of the town of Waterloo, Ontario where the Innocente Brewery is located.
Waterloo is one of those decisive historical moments that could have gone either way. Napoleon, having escaped from Elba, had managed to rally a significant number of the French population to his cause. The amazing thing is that it might have been the only time in history that war was declared on a man rather than a country. Napoleon's Army of the North faced the Duke of Wellington and the Prussian forces led by Blucher.
The feeling is that had Napoleon won at Waterloo, he would probably have been stopped by the Russians (who sent a quarter of a million men) or the Austrians or maybe the Spanish. He had something like 46,000 troops compared to the half a million the nations allied against him would have sent. It's hard to say. Napoleon was a compelling presence. Maybe if he had beaten Wellington and Blucher, a significant number of French citizens would have joined up. Maybe we'd all be pausing between bites of croissant to take a drag off a Gauloises.
The point of the alliance against Napoleon really was about the wholesale destruction of his army and the removal of his capability ever to return. It was more or less a killing field with 65,000 killed, wounded or missing. The ground at Waterloo was churned to mud by a torrential downpour and cannon shot and blood. La Haye Sainte featured prominently early in the battle, housing sharpshooters in the form of the Light Battalion of the King's German Legion. Thousands of men died trying to occupy it.
The previous week, it was just a Belgian farm with a rye crop that was nearly ready for harvest.
I started thinking about what I would make with the ingredients lying around. Clearly, it'd be some manner of Belgian Farmhouse Ale. It would need to have some rye in it because they had rye on hand. It'd be relatively low in alcohol. When I talked to Steve and Dave from Innocente, we thought it would be a good idea to bring in ingredients representing the allied forces. The hops are therefore English (Goldings and Fuggles) and Prussian (Marynka). We've used some wheat, some dark wheat and some Melanoidin. My feeling was that it was probably important that the beer be blood red. If the liquid we tested for gravity was any indication, we should be spot on. The yeast we're using is Lallemand Belle Saison and it should go banana-y since we're fermenting hot. I don't know that the citrus-y Marynka would work with clove character. We used about 5 kg of organic Marynka for the hopback and it should come through bright and shiny.
Steve Innocente surprised me a little bit by opting for a water profile that he's used for Northern German Pilsner. As you may know if you've followed Innocente since their inception, they wanted to make big hoppy beers to the exclusion of other styles. What I found yesterday on visiting the brewery was that their best beers are the ones displaying restraint. The Glance Rye Pale Ale is subtle and delicate and really very good indeed. The winner, however, was the Pilsner. Sinner uses an identical water profile to the one we're using for the collaboration beer. It uses Cluster and Waimea in place of traditional German landrace hops and it manages to duplicate the effect and mouthfeel of something like Jever, but with a different flavour profile. It's absolutely worth trying if you see it on tap. It's a combination I've never seen and it works beautifully.
Essentially, what we think we're looking at is a 5.0% blood red Belgian Farmhouse ale that will start with a citrus and pepper note from the hops and a mildly phenolic fruitiness from the yeast, backed up with earthy tones from the goldings and fuggles (possibly going herbal towards thyme in the middle) with enough pepper and spice from the rye to be noticeable without throwing it out of balance. The mouthfeel will be soft because of the water profile, but the bitterness will cut through on the finish. It'll be a low final gravity, so the finish will be dry and quenching. On a hot summer day, it should be just the thing.
There is, I think, a pleasant contrast between the normal reality of La Haye Sainte and the bloody day two hundred years ago this June 18th. In extremis, mankind can bring the combined wealth and force of nations down on one man and his followers in an attempt to finally wipe them off the face of the earth. In regular circumstances, we would mostly like to tend to our fields and drink a refreshing pint of ale in the sun.

Undoubtedly, you've heard about Google's AdSense and you are thinking about giving it a go. But is it really worth placing an AdSense banner on your site?
The answer is a definite yes. You could always have some other banner on your site, or even use some search of affiliate ad program and that would probably make you some money, given of course that your site enjoys a healthy amount of visitors. However with affiliate marketing, it is expected that the visitor from your website completes a sale before you are remunerated.
But that's nowhere near what you get for using AdSense.
Why use Google Adsense
? There are people who earn in excess of 100.000 dollars per year by using AdSense. And it doesn't just stop with making more money. Firstly, the ads are text only. That means they're by far less obtrusive on your visitors then your average, flashy banner that's designed to catch the eye of the visitor.
Sure, you'll have to ensure they get better placement, so as to be noticed but despite that they don't bother viewer's as much as traditional ads. Think about the many sites you've seen using pop-ups, floating banners and many other schemes that will have visitors screaming in anger every time they visit the said website. You can actually do better then that, annoying people less and still making an amount of money.
Secondly, the ads are generated based on the contents of your site automatically. When you use an affiliate ad program, you have to specify certain categories that your sites belong to.
However, if any page on your site falls outside of these categories, the banners aren't targeted anymore. And what that means is that you're potentially showing ads to people who don't have any interest in them and that can lead to inefficiencies.
With Google AdSense that just about never happens: the ads present on your site will always be in sync with whatever your visitors are interested in and that adds to your site's value and to the revenue it produces.
What's more, the look of these banners and their size is customizable, which means they will feel more integrated with the rest of your site's content, which brings an increase in your site's overall visual quality as opposed to a traditional approach.
Another reason
why use Google Adsense
? For many people, there's also a great problem with finding people to advertise on their site as well. AdSense is clearly the easiest solution available to this problem today.
It's free to join the AdSense program and it almost takes no time at all. The potential database of websites from AdWords is larger then anything you might encounter from any competitor, numbering over 150.000 users. This means as more people compete the CPC or cost per click for search terms will inevitably rise.
Also, setting up AdSense on your site is a breeze, and you can complete the whole process in less then an hour. It takes a lot less to do then any form of affiliate advertising which is yet another reason to choose the easy AdSense approach.
All you need to do is add an AdSense banner on your website (other then registering with the program of course) is to copy & paste a few lines and you're all done, you get to choose where the banners go, how large they are and how they integrate with the rest of your site.
For any webmaster out there, that's a killer scheme because it lets you draw the line between your site's usability level and the amount of advertising you wish to have. Some people need the money badly while others just keep AdSense running to pay for the hosting of their website.
The final reason
Why use Google Adsense
? AdSense is a great advertising program because a lot of thought has went into making it "just work for everyone". It works great for the people who use AdWords, for the webmasters using AdSense, and most importantly for the visitors of the websites.

Our Story
CannaCauses Foundation was founded by 9/11 first responder and stage IV throat and neck cancer survivor, Aryn Sieber. As Aryn endured rigorous chemotherapy treatments, he turned to medical cannabis. Determined to do anything to assist in his survival and after trying other extract brands Aryn taught himself how to organically extract THC and CBD in his own kitchen. He came up with mixing CBD extract and honey to soothe and coat his throat. Realizing how well it worked, Aryn then made THC/CBD infused topicals using coconut oil to help manage the side effects of his chemo and radiation treatments. A short time later, Aryn was told that his cancer was in complete remission. As a cannabis connoisseur he founded CannaCauses Foundation on September 11, 2015, using the same formulas that he developed in his kitchen. Receiving his second lease on life, Aryn has made it his mission to educate others about responsible use of cannabis and it's medical benefits.
CannaCauses Foundation is a pending nonprofit. Our goal is to establish a nationwide network of like-minded Compassionate Cannabis Communities who emphasize and promote the responsible use and benefits of medicinal cannabis products.
