Stockholm in the News – Courtesy of Travis
And to start the news: Traveler's Digest. This must be a rough job. Because someone got to write about the cities with the most beautiful women in the world. Seeing as how I am willfully unemployed right now, if anyone has a job opening along these lines, I can start. This evening.
Anyway, to be perfectly honest, the article is kind of lame. But still. Stockholm topped the list. Followed by Copenhagen in second place. Clearly, Scandinavia is the place to be for beautiful women.
Moving on to some other news with a bit more meat on the bone. Because Travis did send the aforementioned beautiful women link as Stockholm making its way into the "news."
Stockholm found its way onto the rankings for most livable cities in 2007 in the world ranking by Mercer. I fact they came in at a respectable 20th place. Not quite as good as the Reader's Digest ranking of number one that I wrote about a while ago. But not too shabby. And in all fairness, the Mercer survey probably carries a bit more weight. Reader's Digest focused on environmental aspects. Mercer focused on 39 different criteria ranging from, as the intro on their survey says: "political stability, currency-exchange regulations, political and media censorship, school quality, housing, the environment and public safety."
Of course, that being said, this survey is meant to rank the quality of life for expats. Not your average everyday 24 year old. And a quick side note. My understanding is that an expat in Sweden is actually referring to a specific term which does not include just anyone who leaves their country to move to a different country. Although, it is generally used interchangeably. Let's use a quick example of a large multinational American company. General Electric for example. GE decides to send Fred to Stockholm to work in their finance division. Fred agrees and comes over for a few years (usually it seems to be between two and five years) with his family. He is being paid a salary by GE. He gets to live in a fancy house in Danderyd or Stocksund, paid for by GE. He probably has been given access to at least one car. And Fred even manages to pay only American taxes. Because he is an expat. GE will pay the difference in taxes, which in Stockholm could be substantial. Basically, being an expat is being able to live the good life. Anyway, I'm sure that this varies from country to country and even company to company, but there's a little bit of what I've gathered from expats.
Back to the rankings. Germany and Switzerland managed to do good work both coming in with three cities in the top 10. The US doesn't show up until numbers 27 and 29 with Honolulu and San Francisco respectively. Between numbers 44 and 68 though, the US really starts popping up.
I'll be honest; having taken a look at the rankings I was a bit surprised that the Scandinavian countries didn't make their way higher. Copenhagen was the highest at 11th place. Oslo at 26th. Norway is one of the richest countries in the world and is generally considered to be at the forefront of these livability studies, that being said being in the top half of a study like this is probably no small feat considering the number of beautiful cities around the world. So well done Scandinavia. And well done Stockholm. And well done Travis for sending this stuff to me.
4 comments:
Even better is that the first $80K of Fred's income is also tax free in the US--still has to file, just doesn't have to pay on that portion.ReplyDelete
Ironically I'm an expat that moved from Minneapolis to Stockholm in March, and I also work for Mercer. In case you're wondering, I had nothing to do with the quality-of-living survey.ReplyDelete
Many expats don't end up quite as well off as Fred. It's probably because I'm not that important to the company, but my specific situation has me paying the full Swedish income taxes, plus paying OASDI taxes back home, meaning I pay about 7.65% more in income taxes than the average Swede. I also pay for my own apartment and have not enjoyed any sort of car allowance.
As for the article about the most beautiful women in the world, I agree that it was pretty lame. As a publisher, I would want that headline, but I think I would have fired the guy who actually wrote that article.
Although I've never commented, I've been a faithful reader of your blog since I accepted the job here in Stockholm. It's been a fun read. Keep up the good blogging.
Det där måste nog vara den mest tragiska listan jag har sett på länge. Den ser ut som något en 17 årig oskuld skrivit, nyligen hemkommen från sin semester. Men trots det håller jag kanske med någorlunda i rangordningen. Skandinaviska tjejer, visst är vi snygga ;)ReplyDelete
@john - that's glorious. I need to be a high ranking ex-pat. Obviously.ReplyDelete
@scott - you actually bring up a good point that I had meant to ask about. these ex-pats that get all the benefits. are they the high ranking executives that get sent over. because those are probably few and far between. what's the deal with the regular guy who decides to go on an adventure and says sure to working in Stockholm. are they all paying extra tax like you? someone has to have answers here.
and agreed on the good looking women article. not all that well written. but an entertaining idea, and who are we kidding, kind of cool to see Stockholm at the top of the list.
@freja - måste hålla med. och visst år det kul att se köpenhamn och stockholm i topp.
a few highlights from what Freja had to say: "looks like the list was written by a 17 year old virgin recently home from vacation." I love it.

We've told you before that Paris is "freezing" in her cell, and it doesn't look like things have heated up at all. Mom Kathy complained to assembled photogs that she thought Paris' arm might be broken, as Paris apparently kept rubbing her arm, shivering in the cold, reports the New York Daily News. That's cold!
The Hiltons turned up yesterday evening around 7:15 PM, and stayed for an hour. When collected photogs yelled out "Happy Father's Day" to Rick Hilton, he deadpanned, "It's not ideally my best." Meanwhile, Nicky's ex, Kevin Connolly, says jailbird Paris is like a "cat," says People, because "she always lands on her feet."
Rosie Right for "Price," Says Bob B.
Bob Barker's choice to replace him as host of "The Price is Right?" Rosie O'Donnell.
The outgoing Barker, who's last show aired Friday, told reporters that CBS is going to "have a meeting with Rosie," but that the network might not want, as he so decorously put it, "a lady host. As far as I know, they've only auditioned men."
Apparently, Rosie told Barker (when he was on her show back when) that she "loved" "Price" and wanted to host it some day. Todd Newton of E!, Mark Steines of "Entertainment Tonight," and tan man George Hamilton are among the other purported possibilities.
Cruise -- High Priest to Perform Wedding?
We all know that Tom Cruise is at the highest level of "clear" in the ranks of the Church of Scientology, but is that enough to allow him to perform a wedding? Women's Wear Daily (via Page Six) reports that Cruise might be the officiant (or whatever they call it in Scientology-speak) when James Packer, Aussie heir to a $6.5-billion fortune says his "I Dos" on France's Cote d'Azur this weekend.
Party Favors: Olsen Twins Get 300K for Bday Snaps? ... Vanessa Slashes Reality Plans with Knifing ... "Fantastic" Opening for "Silver Surfer"
The Olsen Twins celebrated their actual birthday last week with a low-key champagne toast, but the real party -- which they threw over the weekend -- may net them $300,000, which is how much they asked for photos, reports Gatecrasher. ... Also in Gatecrasher, Vanessa Minnillo wants a reality show all to herself but those knife shenanigans she got into with Lindsay Lohan may have slashed any plans for that. ... The "Fantastic Four" sequel made a ton of money over weekend, $57.1 million to be exact. Which means that they'll probably do yet another one. Oh, wait, they already are -- a spin-off of "The Silver Surfer."

David Alexander, the former CEO of Citi Trends, is the new president of TruGreen lawn care company, leaders of The ServiceMaster Co. announced Tuesday, Dec. 11.
ServiceMaster CEO Hank Mullany announced the appointment of Alexander two months after TruGreen president Tom Brackett announced his resignation and one month after ServiceMaster posted a third quarter operating loss of $724 million, much of the loss attributed to TruGreen's performance.
TruGreen is one of seven businesses and franchises providing home and commercial services as part of ServiceMaster, which is based in Memphis.
Alexander's resume shows that before he was with Citi Trends, an urban retailer based in Savannah, Ga., he served as president and chief operating officer at Family Dollar Stores.
More recently he was a retail consultant for Apax Partners of London. And for two years, he was chairman, president and CEO of Portrait Corp. of America.
Changes at TruGreen were the first order of business for Mullany when he became ServiceMaster CEO in April 2011. Brackett was an interim choice to be head of TruGreen because of his experience at the Terminix division of ServiceMaster. He became the permanent head of the lawn care business as it changed its sales methods and offering of services.
Mullany has been interim president of TruGreen since Brackett's departure.

Webb started Varsity out of his apartment in Memphis in 1974. Today, the company produces more than 1 million uniforms annually, and educates more than 320,000 athletes annually at camps nationwide.

A year after he donated $1 million to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Eric Trump has donated $20 million to the Memphis medical and research institution.
The son of Donald Trump pledged the $20 million through his Eric Trump Foundation for a new surgical and intensive care center wing to the hospital.
The foundation has as its mission raising money for terminally ill children at St. Jude. It already funds a research lab working on Acute Megakaryocytic Leukemia. It was childhood leukemia that was the initial focus of St. Jude when it opened in 1962.
The Eric Trump Foundation's chief fundraiser is a September golf tournament and auction at Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, N.Y.
Memphis Goodwill Inc. opened a new Attended Donation Center in Oakland Monday, Dec. 10.
The 1,850-square-foot space was previously a Starbucks Coffee Co. in an outparcel of a Kroger-anchored shopping center at 7275 U.S. 64. It is Goodwill's first donation center in Fayette County.
Goodwill is also in the process of opening a 7,200-square-foot store in Covington that used to be occupied by a Dollar General. The grand opening and ribbon cutting for the Tipton County location is slated for Dec. 20.
Jess Ossorio of Crump Commercial LLC is the exclusive tenant representative for Memphis Goodwill.
Memphis Goodwill Inc. was founded in 1927 as a territory of the nationwide Goodwill Industries movement. Today, the organization employs more than 600 people in Tennessee and Mississippi who face significant barriers to employment.

The Federal Reserve projects the unemployment rate will stay elevated until late 2015, suggesting it will keep short-term interest rates low for the next three years.
The latest economic forecasts released Wednesday after the Fed's final meeting of the year were little changed from September. But they coincided with a new communication strategy announced by the Fed that links future interest rate hikes with unemployment below 6.5 percent.
The unemployment rate was 7.7 percent in November.
The central bank said that it expects economic growth to improve next year but that it will be no stronger than 3 percent. Growth could increase to 3.5 percent in 2014 and 3.7 percent in 2015.
Unemployment will fall no lower than 7.4 percent next year and 6.8 percent by the end of 2014, the Fed projects. The earliest the Fed sees unemployment dropping below 6.5 percent is the end of 2015.
The Fed said it plans to keep its key short-term interest rate near zero as long as unemployment remains above 6.5 percent and inflation is expected to stay below 2.5 percent.
The latest forecast projects inflation will stay at or below 2 percent for the next three years. That gives the Fed more leeway to pursue aggressive measures.
In an effort to drive the unemployment rate lower, the Fed said after its meeting that it will spend a total of $85 billion a month to sustain an aggressive drive to keep long-term interest rates low. The goal is to encourage more borrowing and spending, which drives economic growth.
The Fed said it will continue buying bonds until the job market shows substantial improvement.

A survey of U.S. chief executives shows the number of large companies that plan to add jobs or hire more workers is essentially unchanged versus three months ago, although fewer expect hiring to decrease.
The Business Roundtable said Wednesday that 29 percent of its member CEOs plan to increase hiring over the next six months, the same as in September when the group released its previous quarterly survey.
But only 29 percent expect hiring to decrease versus 34 percent in the previous report.
CEOs are slightly more pessimistic about their future sales, capital spending and the overall U.S. economy, amid uncertainty over the impact of budget cuts and tax increases that are set to take effect at the start of next year.
CEOs are worried about the pending U.S. budget changes, known as the "fiscal cliff."
Earlier this month, all the Roundtable members delivered letters to the White House and to congressional leaders urging a compromise that includes more revenue, even if it means raising tax rates, and structural and benefit changes to social programs.
The Roundtable combines CEOs' survey responses on sales, capital spending and hiring into an index gauging the executives' overall economic outlook. The latest index was 65.6, a slight dip from 66.0 in the third quarter, but down sharply from 89.1 in the second quarter.

A mystifying or vague buzzword to many, Web 2.0 was made fashionable in late 2004 by O'Reilly Media, the foremost publisher of computer technology books and a leader in cutting edge online technology conferences. Simply put, Web 2.0 is shorthand for a new generation of services—and older, remixed ones—on the Web that let all of us better communicate, interact, share, create, and publish information. Some call it the "participatory Web," while others describe it as the "read/write Web." Whatever you want to call it, blogs/RSS, wikis, and other social interactive software are igniting tremendous interest in libraries and schools everywhere, as this excitement is not limited to just techies or the millennials/GenY crowd.
This article will provide an introduction to Web 2.0 for libraries and will also attempt to bring to light a few notable, free Web-based interactive communication tools that can help librarians and other educators seamlessly access, create, organize, and disseminate information for their library, themselves, colleagues, and friends. Within the directed scope and length given for this article, the resources mentioned and the references and recommended readings provided should bring librarians up-to-speed on little-known and newer techniques, tools, and thinking on this crucial topic.

Social collaboration on the Web has definitely been around for quite a while, but the big push toward Web 2.0 integration seems to be rapidly picking up speed. Many librarians are reading about this new attitude and the new tools and techniques that are emerging. I believe that Web 2.0 is opening up even more opportunities for us to better engage our library users, essentially making communication and online work easier and more productive. Isn't that what we all want? So, without arguing about the vague definitions of Web 2.0 out there, let's, instead, start small and discuss just four intriguing resource tools of particular interest to librarians now.
Blogging with Blogger
You have been reading about blogs, or Weblogs (frequent, chronological publishing of thought and comments on the Web). And now, you are thinking about possibly starting a blog yourself. Well, Blogger may be the tool for you. Blogger [http://www.blogger.com] was launched in San Francisco by Pyra Labs in 1999, and it was doing well enough in 2002 that Google bought them in 2003. Google still owns this user-friendly site for "creat[ing] a blog in 3 easy steps" for free, which can quickly get you started blogging and interacting with your colleagues and patrons. Certainly not the only free blog publishing tool/software, it is definitely one of the most visited, as it was ranked the world's 19th most-popular site this past September (Alexa Internet, Inc.).
Not sure that you want to start up a blog by yourself? Then try getting a few of your interested library colleagues together and team up. What could be better than collaborating on a social tool to share information of interest? Library Garden [http://librarygarden.blogspot.com] is an example of a Blogger-born site where I am proud to be an original contributing member. Started by Peter Bromberg at South Jersey Regional Library Cooperative, with considerable prodding by Janie Herman at Princeton Public Library, Library Garden hit the scene shortly after the three of us introduced some Web 2.0 tools to the Central Jersey Regional Library Cooperative's executive board. Interestingly, it has become a just-right mixture of a librarian group-generated blog, "creating an ongoing conversation among librarians with differing perspectives (public, academic, school, consortial, youth), but [with] one shared goal: ensuring the health and relevance of libraries." Or maybe you want to start small by initiating a blog for staff communication—this is "a great first step" and "starting internally also gives a safe environment to plan, play, and learn ..." (Gordon & Stephens, Computers in Libraries, 2006). Blogger can easily help you do that.
By the way, if you are still unsure what the difference between a blog and a listserv is, one of my favorite descriptions comes from Bromberg's SJRLC Blog: "The blog will be more informal than the listserv, which is not to say it will be unprofessional. The listserv is business wear, the blog is casual Fridays." And if you are interested in reading more about blogs in libraries, the following are articles on this topic. I recommend Laura Cohen's article in Choice this summer. It is well-written and provides excellent references for using, finding, and starting blogs. And authors Jeffrey Pomerantz and Frederic Stutzman published an enlightening article on collaborative reference work using blogs earlier this year in Reference Services Quarterly.
Reading RSS Feeds with Bloglines
After reading the above subtitle, the first thing you might be asking is, "What are RSS feeds?" In a very recent presentation, blogger extraordinaire Sophie Brookover at Camden County Library in New Jersey described RSS as "one-stop shopping for information people want and need, the way they want it," and "the glue holding Web 2.0 together." Basically, RSS, which now stands for Really Simple Syndication, provides a way for all of us to have news of interest constantly fed to us, instead of us searching databases or Web sites for it. To read these items of interest (the RSS feeds), we must have a reader in place (an aggregator) to view the messages, and one of the more celebrated, straightforward aggregators is Bloglines.
Owned by Ask.com since early 2005, Bloglines [http://www.bloglines.com] began in 2003. It is marketed as "a FREE online service for searching, subscribing, creating, and sharing news feeds, blogs, and rich Web content ... [where] you can make your own personalized news page tailored to your unique interests..." I have found Bloglines to be an easy place to start subscribing to feeds from favorite blogs and general news sites—so much so, that I also started my own personal blog with it, just to see how easy that would be. Whenever I want to add or subscribe to another feed, I find Bloglines' single-click subscription bookmarklets to be extremely useful. They also provide daily lists of very popular blogs and hot topics. My favorite article on Bloglines and RSS is by DocuTicker's editor, Shirley Kennedy, in 2006 in Information Today. I used her article and Joy Moll's site—"Bloglines for Librarians in Three (and a half) Easy Steps" [http://joy.mollprojects.com/myprojects/rss/quickrss.html]—which was mentioned in Kennedy's article—to easily set up my own account.
Finally, I want to mention that Bloglines allows you to create your own clip blog. Essentially, a clip blog is a collection of your favorite bookmarks that can be easily categorized, searched, shared, and viewed from any browser or computer—and people can comment on your clip if you make these public. If you choose to privatize your clip blog, you can still use it to store your favorites, accessible from any computer. This leads me to the topic of social bookmarking.
Social Bookmarking with del.icio.us
As librarians, our jobs require us to discover new information on topics of interest to our students/patrons. Fortunately, with many information-finding tools now freely available on or via the Web, we can uncover a lot of useful material. Unfortunately, keeping track of what we find useful—and being able to search for and find that useful saved material when we need it—has become more difficult, especially since most of us have saved enormous numbers of links to our "favorites" or "bookmarked" sections of our browsers, right? Well, enter social bookmarking tools. An interesting article on the topic was published this summer by Laura Gordon-Murnane in Searcher. In her article, she mentions that these tools "allow users to tag Web sites and links and to share their finds with other communities of users." The article also defines social bookmarking, tagging, and other related items, while offering a brief description of some of these tools and their features. I recommend reading this for more detailed information than can easily be included in this section of my article.
Bloglines' clip blogs, briefly discussed earlier, help you store, search, and share your favorite bookmarks. However, Yahoo!-owned del.icio.us [http://del.icio.us] does that and more, and it has become extremely popular since its introduction in 2003 (although Yahoo! did not acquire it until 2005). Again, the reason for del.icio.us's popularity is the fact that it is so easy to set up and use, not to mention that you are no longer tied to a particular computer. In addition to assisting you in organizing and updating your bookmarks, it lets you make annotations, which can be shared with others or made private for your use only.
Melissa Rethlefsen, in her recent Library Journal article, states that for librarians, del.icio.us "is also fabulous for keeping up-to-date on topics of interest, trend-spotting, and connecting and sharing with others. Some libraries already use it to store Web bibliographies and push them to library patrons via the library Web site or blog." The first real social bookmarking site, del.icio.us is probably the most widely used social bookmarking tool by librarians, and it was ranked by Alexa as the 154th most popular site in the world in September 2006.
Building Wikis with PBwiki.com
Currently ranked as the 16th most-popular site in the world by Alexa, Wikipedia, the free collaborative encyclopedia on the Web, is known to just about everyone. A great article about Wikipedia was published this September by Marshall Poe in The Atlantic Monthly. However, Wikipedia is not the only wiki site on the Web. Librarians have actually been building their own wikis, or Web sites that "allow visitors to easily add, remove, or otherwise edit and change some available content," for some time now. Because of its "ease of interaction and operation, ... a wiki is an effective tool for collaborative authoring" (Wiki 2006).
A celebrated library wiki is Meredith Farkas' Library Success: A Best Practices Wiki, "created to be a one-stop-shop for great ideas and information for all types of librarians." By the way, Wikipedia and Library Success both use the MediaWiki software, so the pages on both sites look similar. I have also constructed and edited many wikis in the past using Wikispaces.com, but a fun wiki-generating site that has definitely caught my attention lately is PBwiki.
PBwiki [http://pbwiki.com], aka PeanutButterWiki, markets itself as "the easiest wiki," touting that "it's as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich. Just sign up and start using your wiki in about 10 seconds." It hosts the sites, and the basic version is free to use, although the premium version is inexpensive. PBwiki was introduced last summer, and it is definitely gaining a following as more people begin to appreciate the ability to create a free, password-protected collaborative, user-friendly, easily editable Web site—public or private. I am definitely a fan of PBwiki, but unlike Wikipedia, it is still a relatively unknown tool, as it just began last year. My guess, though, is that, soon, you will be very comfortable with wiki software, and I hope you then decide to contribute to a section of the Library Success wiki or build one of your own with PBwiki, sharing items of interest or Web 2.0 success stories from within your library or organization with us all—because that's what it's all about!
I know—"Web 2.0," "social, participatory Web," "user-initiated Web," "live Web"—they can be interpreted in so many diverse ways and mean different things to different people. The definitions are many, and this can be distracting. But if, instead, you look at all of this as a new opportunity, a possible way to better communicate, interact, share, create, and publish information online—to connect with those we are already serving and to those we wish to serve in the near future—then it gets exciting! Librarians and other educators everywhere are now using these Web 2.0 technologies in practical and worthwhile applications. Don't you want to as well?
Remember, nobody is saying that you have to change everything you do, or jump into every technology or public relations idea that comes your way. However, we all know that we need to continue to reach out to our students and patrons and get them interested in what amazing things we can do for them. So, do yourself a favor and browse the listed references and recommended readings. Try setting up a library blog with Blogger, or start receiving library- or special topic-related RSS feeds via Bloglines. Build a subject-guide wiki with PBwiki, or start bookmarking, tagging, and sharing with del.icio.us. I think that if librarians everywhere would just get up-to-speed on some of these little-known and newer techniques, tools, and thinking on the crucial topic of Web 2.0 within libraries, they (and this includes you) will find that many other libraries and librarians are already using social software tools and offering best practices suggestions for all of us—then, you will get excited as well and become a denizen of Web 2.0 sites!
Again, due to the size and scope of this article, some other popular tools were not covered, such as Flickr (photo management/sharing), Odeo (audio management/publishing/editing), and YouTube (video management/sharing), instant-messaging tools, and more—all of interest to the library community and beyond. But don't let that limit you! Believe me: You, too, can enter (and survive) this move toward social collaboration online, and you will be glad you did. The opportunities to truly engage in and impact our own and others' learning and research really are limited only by our imaginations. The "live Web" ball is now in your court. Start playing with it!

It takes about 15 minutes to get to Famoso Raceway from the city of Bakersfield, but when you get there you'd swear you you just traveled 40 or 50 years in the opposite direction. The annual California Hot Rod Reunion is our once-in-a-while chance to experience drag racing the way it was every weekend way back when gassers, altereds, early Funnies, Factory Experimental cars, and backyard-built hot rods showed up to show off.
Of course, not all the action is on the drag strip. When not photographing the racing from our sweet vantage point at the starting line, we were hiking through the vendors' midway, hanging out in the pits and staging lanes, enjoying the show 'n' shine area right behind the grandstands, and hunting for treasure in the enormous swap meet area. As it's name implies, the Reunion is a chance to get together with old friends and even to shake hands with some of the heroes of this sport, who seem to enjoy being here as much as we do. And after the sun goes down, the stands stay packed for one of the highlights of the weekend-the Cacklefest, a cacophonous jam session of nitromethane-burning motors and fire-snorting pipes. There's nothing like it!

Mr Smug, Sally Tuppence, Max Headroom
Britain's Got Talent is the top-rated TV show in the UK. Everybody's talking about it. But is it any good ? Of course not - it's absolute crap, proving yet again that you can dig forever and still be no closer to finding the lowest common denominator. Even the name of the show is offensive. If Britain truly has "got talent", then there should be no need to state the fact. If there is any talent out there, it sure as hell won't be found by a panel featuring Max Headroom come to life; Sally Tuppence, the tart with a heart; and Mr Smug, a chancer who simply cannot believe his luck (or pay cheque).
Why not re-name the shabby affair Britain's Got Talons to recognise the pathetic losers and wannabes desperately clawing their way up the greasy showbiz pole in a fruitless attempt to escape from the well-deserved anonymity from whence they once came - and will certainly return after their 15 minutes are up.
Disclaimer - I have never actually watched a single minute of this monstrosity, but I could not avoid the subliminal message from all forms of media, so feel I have a pretty good idea of how it works. Let me take a wild guess. Many of the acts featured will cover both ends of the age spectrum: from incredibly cute youngsters to very embarrassing grannies. At least once every show an act will reveal a heart-rending history: top marks for a death in the family; a handicap is good; an illness will do. If you don't have such a tortured past, then for god's sake think harder ("Well, Simon, I suppose someone did once look at me funny in the street"). The audience will be stuffed full (quite literally) of hefty imbeciles whooping and a hollering as if this is the best thing they have ever, ever seen, innit.
During the series, there will be many staged ups and downs to keep the show on the front page, e.g. arguments, threatened walk-outs, break-downs. Sally Tuppence has dress malfunction ! Mr Smug caught groping one of the contestants ! Headroom not sure whether Tuppence is up to scratch ! Headroom and Smug punch each others' lights out ! Read. All. About. It.
Of course, the biggest story this year is Susan Boyle, a woman who is not the most handsome, but, and here's the thing, can actually sing ! Who would believe that ? You mean that you can hit a note, even if you don't look like Angelina Jolie ? Strike me down with a feather. Now, in this PC world, you obviously cannot call the tuneful Ms Boyle ugly, but the tabloids have found a neat way around that by labelling her "the hairy angel". They have clearly forgotten one of showbiz's basic rules, namely that if you are famous, then, by definition, you must be gorgeous. This is known in the trade as The Mariah Carey Principle, though some also refer to it as the Celine Dion Paradox.
In fact, Boyle has now become so famous that she has been awarded the ultimate tabloid accolade, not only being refererred to by one word, but the slick joining of her first name and surname, hence SuBo. For crying out loud, have we really become so lazy that we cannot be bother to say both names. This abomination has also been applied to others: LiLo (quite amusing, really); TomKat (the distinctly creepy Tom Cruise and his chattel); Brangelina (strange, why not the pithier BrAn ?).
Other acts on the shows that I have heard of include Stavros Flatley and Diversity. Please tell me that the first is not some Bubble doing the River Dance - there surely has to be more to it than that. I know absolutely nothing about Diversity, except that the name appears to have been dreamt up by Nigel from Brand Consultants Inc and I hate to imagine what they offer.
The real irony is that this is presented as reality television, when it is clearly nothing of the sort. Stage-managed to within an inch of the contestants' miserable lives, it is obvious to a blind man who has lost his dog and had his stick snapped in half that none of these losers has any talent whatsoever beyond further enriching Cowell and his cronies.
As an aside, during this week's The Apprentice, the final five candidates endure a rigorous grilling during the interview process. How rigorous ? Well, one of the contestants (sorry, candidates), Yasmina the "Finance Director", could not explain the difference between gross and net profit, did not know what turnover meant and was outraged that the interview had obtained her accounts, even though these are public documents. Result ? Yasmina is one of the final two. Another example of far-from-reality TV.
Returning to BGT, the joke is that I am old enough to remember shows from the early 70s like Opportunity Knocks and New Faces, which were ridiculed at the time, even when we only had 2-3 TV channels. Now that there is a veritable feast of entertainment offered, the great British public still opts for this end of the pier travesty. Now, it they were voting for end of the Piers, that would be altogether different.

Solskjaer will not quit if Cardiff go down
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he will not walk away from Cardiff City if the club are relegated from the Premier League.
The Norwegian was appointed Cardiff manager in January, but his arrival has failed to produce an upturn in fortunes and the Welsh outfit have won just twice in the Premier League during his tenure.
Solskjaer was left particularly disappointed following a 2-1 defeat at Everton on Saturday, with Seamus Coleman grabbing a last-gasp winner.
The result leaves Cardiff second-bottom of the table and three points away from safety with just eight games remaining.
Solskjaer is confident his side can avoid the drop, but the former Manchester United striker will not turn his back on the club if they make an immediate return to the Championship.
"We each want to keep our place in the Premier League, but no matter what happens I will be here for the future. I can promise to be 100 per cent loyal," he said.
"Everybody knows that continuity is the key factor to success. I sensed a great buzz for Wales from the start. The people are fantastic.
"The passion in this part of Wales for Cardiff City to keep their place in the Premier League seems to be confirmed day after day.
"Commitment, loyalty and hard work are values I believe are important. I have never worked as hard in my whole career, but I knew that when I took the job.
"I want to earn respect through the football my team plays and commitment to the club. This is a major project and I am committed to it.
"Right at the moment, though, my whole focus is on doing everything possible to ensure Cardiff City are still in the Premier League next season.
"We have big challenges ahead, but we are ready for those. Nobody at Cardiff City doubts we can keep our place in the Premier League. We have eight cup finals in which to achieve that."

Saying he feels rejuvenated, Pedro Martinez said he wants to pitch another season. He emphasized it would be a full season, not like this summer when he joined the moving Phillies bandwagon in midseason.
Martinez's agent, Fern Cuza, said his client is healthy: "He was feeling no pain whatsoever. It was the first time in three years that he felt that way on the mound. Based on how he played, and how he responded, he's looking forward to playing next year."
Martinez played for the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic in spring 2009 and hoped that would convince teams of his health. It did not, and he had to audition before he signed a $1 million, one-year contract with the Phillies. In nine games he was 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA.
Martinez pitched will in Game 2 of the World Series, but working with the flu, was hit in Game 6.

Was blind, but now I see. No this not the "Through The Bible Hour", and we will not be visiting the remainder of the song "Amazing Grace" although the epiphany that has evoked the title of this article is possibly as profound as some spiritual experiences. The awaking, as it were, for me was the advent of permission marketing. Having been a product of the '60's where the momentum of interruption marketing, particularly on TV, hit its peak, we were chained to our Chesterfield's (that's a couch for you millennials) and fed a steady diet of Coca-cola, Downey fabric softener, and Winston cigarettes. There was no escape. Marlon Perkins was extolling the virtues of Mutual of Omaha while wrestling Orangutans in Sumatra, Ronald Regan was spewing forth 20 Mule Team Borax, and Lloyd Bridges was ironically hawking Standard Oil on his aquatic action/adventure show Sea Hunt.
There was no TiVo. There were no means to zap commercials. The television volume was elevated to the point that even if you ran to the refuge of the kitchen for a Dr. Browns Cream Soda, the message followed you. This was the golden age of push marketing, and it was one of the most amazing phenomena to ever smack the unsuspecting public square in the jaw. Second only to junk mail and Jehovah's witnesses for obnoxious tenacity, the caissons of Madison Avenue rolled through our collective living rooms like Rommel marching to the sea. Since much of the advertising was institutional by nature (see the USA in a Chevrolet) it was damned near impossible to track, so with the absence of solid metrics the under girding philosophy became "more is better."
My brother-in-law ( one of those young Gen X'ers) asked me the other day to explain the difference between push and pull marketing. What was described in the above paragraphs was definitely PUSH marketing. Eventually what it made us all do was push back. It's gotten to the point that every program I watch is pre-recorded so I can fast forward through the fray, every pop-up they try to send my computer is disabled, and my wife and kids are the only ones that have my correct iPhone number.
So how, you say, does one reach a potential customer now days? As they say in some of the twelve step programs, attraction rather than promotion. That means content, lots and lots of great content. They have to want to come to you, so the only way to make that happen is to have something to come to. Ironically, and synonymously, there has to be a "where" for prospects to go before they can go "there." It might be your website, your blog, or a social media site, but there needs to be some central place on the internet where your brand resides. Since many of us rarely darken the halls of a brick and mortar "store" if avoidable, the cyber locations make far more sense. The only problem is that there are so darn many of them, the search algorithms that take folks to different sites are getting so complicated that I'm not sure even Google understands half of what it does. How does your average Joe that owns a "mom and pop" family business establish a presence worth the effort? More to follow.

Twitter Squeezes Banks on IPO

Henry P. needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 367 designs submitted by 105 freelance designers.
Unity Trust
We are an Amsterdam, the Netherlands, based trust and management company. We provide foreign clients (mostly larger multinational companies) with Dutch limited liability companies (BV's). We act as directors of these companies on behalf of the clients. We also provide corporate, administrative and accounting services for the companies we have under management.
Our clients are mostly sourced in emerging markets such as Central and Eastern Europe and the CIS states (former USSR), India and Africa. Our clients are serious (business) people that are looking for reliable service. The clients expect a high level of integrity and commitment from us. Our business is dependent on a high level trust between us and our clients (in most cases we control the bank accounts of their companies), high ethical standards are expected.
We need a logo that communicates our (corporate) identity to the clients. We would like our clients to regard us as serious and successful people, who are committed to the clients' interests and will act with the utmost integrity in everything we do. We like to identify with our clients interests and needs. This is also reflected in the name of our company, Unity Trust. We are acting on the top end of the market, so the logo may reflect a sense of "exclusivity". We have plans to expand to other jurisdictions, so the logo should not look "too Dutch". Preferably no extremely bright or chemical looking colors. The logo should leave enough space for the word "Group" to be added below or next to it, in smaller print, as in Unity Trust Group.

Documents: Ilitch company owes Detroit nearly $1 million in back taxes
DETROIT (AP) -- The operator of Joe Louis and Cobo arenas in downtown Detroit owes the cash-strapped city more than $971,000 in unpaid property taxes on the venues.
The Detroit Free Press reports Thursday that tax documents show Olympia Entertainment has been in arrears on the taxes since 2009.
Olympia Entertainment is part of Mike Ilitch's stable of companies. Ilitch also owns Major League Baseball's Detroit Tigers and the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.
Ilitch is seeking a $650 million multiuse development, which would include an events center.
The Michigan Senate on Wednesday approved legislation to help finance a project that would include a new hockey arena. The bill has been returned to the House and would allow use of tax dollars collected by the city's Downtown Development Authority for the project.

Hop in, we're taking a trip
This trip feels incredibly different than the last the Bisons took. There's a sense of confidence and character starting to show with this team that had it tucked away after a rough first month.
After finishing a Pawtucket/Scranton swing 2-5 the Bisons went home, won six of eight and picked up two of the three against Syracuse. I feel the Herd is on the brink of something big.
We've been sensing this team has that ability since the spring training reports. What a difference flipping the calendar can make. Back-to-back starting pitching performances from Sowers and Slocum set the table for wins against the Chiefs after they won the first five head-to-head match ups. Now the Bisons enter a series with Rochester, a team that has dropped their last six.
Make an impromptu decision, get in the car and watch the Herd on the road. Very few fans ever get to see their favorite team play wearing road grays. You do! It's a short drive and you'll get the opportunity to sit close to the Herd's dugout. The players notice and appreciate the support when they glance in the stands and see Buffalo caps, jerseys and jackets.
Bring your radio – Duke is back on the air to open the series that wraps around the weekend. Hope to see you in the Flower City.

English Teacher
I am starting an MA in september and am trying to gather some general information for my dissertation subject before I go.
I was wondering if any of you would be willing to answer a few questions about E-Learning in EFL?
This is primarily for EFL teachers/administrators/IT administrators? thanks
* Does your present/former school use E-Learning?
* Which software package have you ever used? what have you liked/disliked about it?
* Do you see any advantages/disadvantages for e-learning in EFL?
I have detailed research but am looking for general views on the topic,
