World PMI Update: Weakness in Europe?
Manufacturing growth throughout the world increased at a solid, if unspectacular pace in July, the preliminary releases of the Markit PMIs show. The chart shows manufacturing PMIs across many of the more important countries in the world, the rightmost column, July 2014, is the preliminary data released July 24. The highlights of the July data:…
Yellen testimony confirms view of labor market slack
Fed Chair Janet Yellen gave her semi-annual report on monetary policy to the Senate today. Its content is consistent with our interpretations of both monetary policy and the labor market. The key phrase from our standpoint is: "we currently anticipate that even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some…
Secondary labor market indicators show improvement, slack
From time to time we also like to highlight some secondary labor market indicators to gain a deeper insight into the economy. The chart below shows both labor market improvement as well as continuing slack. The red line shows the quit rate, the percentage of the labor force quitting each month. It is at its…

Tech stocks weigh on S&P 500: MarketWatch Live Blog ft. Rob Stein
Rob Stein, CEO of Astor Investment Management said that Tuesday's pullback is mostly due to technicals rather than fundamentals. "When markets reach new peaks, investors tend to take opportunity and lighten up and rebalance. We think the economy is in its mid cycle and has more room to grow.

Welcome and allow me to introduce myself. I am Brian Naennals. I am a computer programmer. I've been programming a script designed to delve into the sometimes murky realm of Clickbank products (What's Clickbank?). Currently, it is the turn of The Asian Diet Secret.
My task is to assemble as much data on the product as possible, provide you with that data, and then analyse it myself. My eventual goal is to help you decide whether or not you should purchase it. Let's get started…
Product Info
Here is the product info part of the review. I've obtained this data from the product's homepage and from a publicly available Cb RSS feed.
|Product Name:
|The Asian Diet Secret
|Product Release Date
|9th February, 2016
|Anna Sofia
| The Asian Diet Secret + 4 Bonuses – 60 Day Money Back Guarantee! – USD32.67
Product Stats
Here are some facts on the product. Again, I've gathered this information from the freely available Clickbank feed.
|Total EPS
|Weighted Sales Rank (100 max)
|Estimated refund rate for The Asian Diet Secret + 4 Bonuses – 60 Day Money Back Guarantee! at USD32.67
Other data
More assorted data on The Asian Diet Secret collected from Google and also the product's homepage.

Exactly what do the statistics tell me? Well, the main stat for me personally is definitely the estimated refund rate. I obtain this from looking at the EPS figure, which would be 75% of the price, minus the Clickbank fee, if there were no refunds. If those don't tally then either
(a) there have been refunds (b) the merchant changed the price (c) the vendor is selling numerous products via the same CB account (d) I've estimated the price wrongly aboveThus, as you can see, it isn't really, unfortunately, the most accurate of statistics. Here though, if it's accurate it is about averge, suggesting that the product is of a reasonably high quality.
Another stat we can look at is called the Gravity. This offers us an idea of the quantity of affiliates that have been selling the product (don't know what an affiliate is? See this link). Products with a lot of gravity are very well-known ones, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're any good. Similarly, low gravity products, might be excellent but simply don't have the popularity yet. For this particular product the gravity of 0.332142 is standard.
The Asian Diet Secret Bonus
As I outlined on our about us page, payment for every single product analysed on this website is processed by Clickbank. This means that if click through to the vendor via a link here and then wind up purchasing, we get paid. In exchange, we'd like to provide you with a The Asian Diet Secret extra
Your reviews
I'm just a computer programmer and my reviewing skills are a little limited. What I really need is your help! If you have any thoughts or experience related to this product, please tell me below.

BELLEAIR — An incident involving hazardous materials sent a Belleair sanitation worker to the hospital and closed a road and a section of the Pinellas Trail in Belleair for almost three hours Tuesday.
Largo division fire chief David Mixson said sanitation workers discovered a fuming substance in a dump truck shortly before noon.
The workers called emergency responders, who blocked off Ponce de Leon Boulevard between Clearwater-Largo Road and Varona Street and the Pinellas Trail from Rosery Road to Ponce de Leon Boulevard.
Firefighters eventually found a bottle of muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, in the truck. The chemical is sometimes used for household cleaning, including pool cleaning.
A sanitation worker who inhaled some fumes from the substance was hospitalized and was in stable condition Tuesday afternoon, Mixson said.
Ponce de Leon Boulevard and the Pinellas Trail were reopened just before 3 p.m.

It's 8.30am in the Scottish Borders. The children are fast asleep, after staying up hours later than usual, and the grown ups are sleeping off the booze.
I'm feeling fabulous.
I threw a wonderful party last night, but this morning both the sky and my head are clear and even the kitchen is clean as a whistle as I washed everything up before going to bed.
How different from the decades of New-Year's-Days-of-Despair during the era of over-enthusiastic imbibing.

Daily Summary
Feast and famine on the abyssal plain
Animals living on abyssal plains (plains on the deep ocean floor) don't usually get much food. Their primary source is called marine snow, which consists of mucus, fecal pellets and decomposing body parts that slowly drift down from animals near the surface. Researchers have long though that the steady fall of marine snow cannot account for all the food consumed by organisms living in the sediment. A new paper published after 20 years of research reveals that population blooms of algae or animals at the sea surface can result in huge feasts for abyssal plain organisms. The excess food that arrives on the seafloor during after the surface blooms does not go to waste. Researchers observed animals and seafloor microbes rapidly consuming all of it.
Navy Takes Aim at California Sea Otters
The southern sea otter, Enhydra lutris nereis, is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Their population rebounded from only 11 individuals in the early 20th century and now otters are extending their range along the Southern California coast. However, a Defense Authorization bill currently on the floor of the U.S. Senate would exempt the Navy from provisions of the ESA and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, reducing the level of protection for sea otters.
'Saving our Fish' needs more than a ban on discarding
New research from the University fo East Anglia reveals that a ban on fish discards will only benefit future fish stocks if it is combined with other measures. Discards — unwanted or over-quota fish — account for approximately half the fish caught in marine fisheries. Very few of them survive after being caught and thrown back into the water. Discard bans are gaining widespread public support but this research states that a ban alone will not create a strong incentive for selective fishing and will not help protect future fish stocks.

Relationships are important to the human experience. They are enriching, challenging and completely needed for an individual to learn and grow positively. There are many different types of relationships that we build over the years. As students who are looking out for a career opportunity, you must have built some very strong relationships in school and college. Now, as you get ready to step into your professional life, you must be wondering how do successful relationships work in professional environments.
Clearly, they are a whole different ball game but the fundamentals remain the same, just like any other relationship – "do good for others without expecting anything in return". In order to give you an idea about how you can build successful relationships, we have some crucial points for you to consider.
1. Transparency
Transparency is important in any kind of relationship. Transparency is even more essential in a workplace environment where you and your colleagues have shared responsibilities which can affect other people such as your colleagues, your customers and clients. You should strive to be as transparent as possible with your colleagues and your customers. Hiding things from people and trying to get things done via the back door might make sense but in the long run, these practices are not healthy. They create an environment of distrust.
2. Trust
A completely transparent relationship leads to the building of trust. When it comes to business, trust is an important currency. Large amounts of money, responsibilities and services are involved in transactions. These can be easier if people can trust you. You don't really have any shortcuts towards achieving that kind of trust with another person. The only way trust is built is over the positive things that you do and how consistently you do it. Good professional relationships have a healthy amount of trust riding between them. The more trustworthy you become, the better your prospects get over time. Just make sure you always strive to keep building that trust among your peers.
3. Mutual Respect
As you become more trustworthy and keep doing the right things in your organization, you will get respect from your peers. You can bask in this all you want but do not let it become a one way street. Respect needs to be accrued on both sides. Make sure that you respect your colleagues for the work they are doing and the way they help you out when you are in a jam. Awesome colleagues become even more awesome over shared positive and negative experiences. You bond with them and they become your friends. Value this friendship. Your colleagues are human too! All the standard human decency rules apply here even though this might be your office.
4. Embracing diversity
There might be a chance that your upbringing has only made you interact with a select slice of humanity. With college, this generally gets resolved but work gives you the full exposure to the many, many different kinds of people who exist. It might not be easy to adjust initially because students tend to cement some sort of a fixed outlook based on limited sampling in college and school.
The key here is to be as open minded as possible and try to understand each person and not judge them based on some superficial qualities that you see. Accept that there are many kinds of people and they might not necessarily have the same values as you. This acceptance is important because as colleagues, you need to work with everyone involved to take your organization forward. Spend some time with everyone and get to know them better. It is possible that your rigid perspective (if it exists) might change over time.
5. Empathetic outlook
Work tends to be seen as a place where only logic and processes reign supreme. This is not really true. We should not forget that emotions are also important to the working life, as are logic and efficiency. Ultimately, as humans we are prone to various emotions and blocking them out just because of the work environment may not be healthy for the person as well as the organization on the whole.
Empathy is crucial in the workplace. Like the saying goes, "Everyone is fighting a hard battle, so be kind". As we take up responsibilities, life doesn't get any easier for anyone. Being understanding of your colleagues and their situations can go a long way. Do not be emotionally unavailable to a person that needs your help and support. Go out of your way to help them out and understand their problems.
6. Make time
Relationships only grow if you invest in them. Similarly, in professional relationships you need to invest time and effort to help them grow. Spend some time catching up with your colleagues about their work and life. If you have a lot of things in common with many of your colleagues, then hang out with them regularly. This does not just apply to your colleagues at office. You can also work on your relationships with your clients in the same way. Drop in a mail once in a while enquiring about how they are doing. Take an interest in the career progression and happenings of people you like.
7. Positivity
The office environment is never really going to be a chilled out one all the time. There will be many moments of stress, negativity, personal problems, blunders, confrontations and so on.. This is not unusual. This happens all the time when you are trying to build value together and working towards something great. Whenever these moments come by, understand that negativity is temporary and it will pass. Be positive about everything. Pessimism never really gets you anything, especially in a productive environment. Work towards creating a positive frame of mind and see things as they are. It is very easy to go down the negativity slope but limiting beliefs are a bigger problem when you want to achieve something great. Try being positive instead.
8. Respecting boundaries
Professional relationships have boundaries. You cannot expect your colleagues to be like your college friends. They have their own lives and their own priorities. Make sure that you respect that. Not everyone will be willing to join in on your weekend movie plans and other outings. Learn to be okay with that. Secondly, do not partake in any kind of office gossip. Gossip is detrimental to the organization as well as your professional relationships. Words spreads fast and if you are known as a gossiper then all the trust that you have built will be in vain. Be polite to your colleagues and do not try to glance into their personal lives unless you share a personal rapport with them.
9. Learn to have fun together
Work hard but have tonnes of fun. Organize activities, go out for drinks and have movie screenings in office (if it is allowed). It is not uncommon to find people who have bonded so well with each other over these activities that they have become close friends.
I have been fortunate to know many awesome people at my previous organizations. These positive relationships you make at your workplace have a potential to last a lifetime and you never know where they might take you 🙂

My first journal page is complete for "The Goddess and the Poet" class with Suzi Blu. I love this journal page so much and I really love working in a journal. I could never really understand what the purpose of an art journal was until now. I always thought it was a waste to work so hard on something that was just going to be closed most of the time, but I was so wrong. I feel so free when I work in it; like I'm more willing to take risks and have fun.I can't wait until it is all full and thick with embellishments. I'm going to sew in it and experiment with things that I wouldn't dare do on canvas or wood. Why did I wait so long to do this?? I think what finally sold me was that I feel like this would be something I could pass down to my son when he is an adult. I'm not so sure he would like to have paintings of girlies all over his bachelor pad, from his mommy. A journal would be something he could always have and put it wherever he wanted to.
If you don't have an art journal, I would HIGHLY recommend starting one.

Six out of 10 Americans are satisfied with retirement. Money is a big part of the equation, and you don't have to be an upper-level exec to end up a millionaire. There are 6.7 million U.S. households with a net worth of $1 million or more, according to Spectrum Group. But how did they reach that point? What, other than money, is making them happy? The key to post-career contentment, experts say, is starting early.

Should enterprise CTO's implement MLS systems?
Multi-Level Security Information Systems, better known as MLS systems, have proven merit in the DoD arena in terms of providing a security net and thwarting threats to data and infrastructure within a unified system. Certainly this type of implementation would make sense commercially, but in the fast moving, ever-changing enterprise space, CTOs have historically been hesitant to adopt some of the advancements in these trusted operating systems on top of optimized hardware.

One of the most effective and most overlooked ways to grow your network marketing business is to place classified ads in your local newspaper. For some strange reason, many distributors have ignored this venue in an attempt to build their business online. And I think that is a huge mistake.
Personally, I think it's wise to begin building your MLM business locally. That way you are in close proximity to the people you sponsor and you can provide better support. It makes no sense to try and build a national and international business if you haven't even started out in your own back yard yet. And as I see it, the best way to find local distributors is to advertise in the newspaper.
Listed below, I want to share a few helpful tips on how to grow your MLM business with newspaper classifieds. Let's get started.
1. Place a Catchy Ad: You want to place an ad in the classified section under business opportunities. Don't mislead people by placing your ad in the employment section. Try to keep your line to four lines or less. You want a catchy title, a featured benefit and a call to action. An example ad might be "Fire Your Boss. Start Your Own Home Business. Call 800-000-0000 to learn more." You might want to use a bold border around your ad or even consider a color ad so it stands out.
2. Provide a Toll Free Phone Number: If possible, get a toll-free 800 phone number and have calls sent straight to voice mail. You don't want to answer the calls yourself. Some people think it's best to use a sizzle call. This is simply a 5-20 minute pre-recorded message explaining your opportunity. Personally, I think it's just as effective to leave a simple message such as "Thanks for calling. Please leave your name, number and email and one of our associates will call you back in the next 24-hours." Remember, people will be less likely to call you if they think you will answer the phone. So put in the ad that it is a pre-recorded message.
3. Don't Answer the Calls Yourself: As mentioned above, don't answer the calls yourself. If you are forced to answer calls, several bad things might happen. First of all, you won't have a life. If your phone is ringing off the hook, the calls will be a huge distraction in your life. Also, you want to be in the right frame of mind when you talk to prospects. If you are arguing with your spouse and you answer the phone, you won't be in a good mood. And your prospect will know it. Just let the calls go to voicemail and check the messages at your convenience.
4. Follow Up: You must follow up with your leads. You should follow up in 24-48 hours. The sooner the better. Make sure you call your leads. Your primary goal is to qualify them and set an appointment to meet with them face-to-face, via a three way call, or a webinar. DO NOT try to explain everything in detail right there and then when you call them back. Leverage technology and work smart. Furthermore, you should also keep a database of every lead you generate, so you can follow up again in 6-12 months.
5. Track Your Results: You should track your results for each ad. How many calls did you get? How many appointments did you set? How many presentations did you give? How many distributors did you sponsor? How many customers did you get? If you don't track your advertising, you won't know what is working and what isn't working. You can use a software program or piece of paper to do this. Try out a few different ads in a few different papers until you find something that converts well for you. At this point you can really expand your efforts.
6. Be Consistent: You can't advertise once and expect great results. You must be consistent. At a minimum, run your ad for three months straight. You don't have to run the ad every day. You can have the ad appear 1-2 times per week, on the same days each week. Remember that most people need to see your message many times before they will respond. If you only run your ad once, you will be greatly disappointed with the results you get.
Final Thoughts
In summary, these are my best six tips on how to grow your MLM business with newspaper classified advertisements. Many distributors have built enormous downlines, just by using classified ads in newspapers. If it worked for them, it will work for you.
What are your thoughts? What are your best tips for advertising in newspapers to grow your network marketing business? Leave a comment and let us know.

Don't think having a solid content marketing strategy is important to your business? Think again! The phrase "Content is King" is just as valid today as it was when it was first written by Bill Gates in 1996 at the dawn of the Internet age. Businesses that ignore the benefits of strong, high-quality content do so at their own peril. Though content affects your business in many ways, here are the three areas in which having a great content marketing strategy matters most.
Cracking the first page of Google's search results is tough, and if your business isn't using content to boost your Google rankings, it is practically impossible to get to the top spot. Thanks to new search algorithms, creating meaningful content that is relevant to your business and to your customers will help your site's SEO value and help push your business up Google's page rank system.
Lead Generation
A solid content marketing strategy is vital to lead generation. In fact, Social Media Today goes so far as to say, "The success of your digital marketing and the future of your business depend on your ability to deliver content that generates leads." Having a strategy in place that delivers high-quality content that can attract consumers to your business is a key component of any comprehensive content marketing strategy. It will increase your online traffic as users find and share content online. Though businesses should avoid giving users too much of a hard sell, content that builds a brand gently and offers real value to readers will go a long way toward generating leads.
Social Media Is Key
Think Facebook and Twitter are just for casual conversations? Think again. Having a social media presence allows businesses to connect with their audience in new and dynamic ways. Posting links to content will certainly drive traffic, but users who "Like" or "Follow" businesses through social media can also ask questions or give business owners instant feedback. This type of interaction is absolutely necessary in today's business climate, and if you aren't taking advantage of it, then you are losing out on both new consumers and a free source of market research.
Establishing an Online Reputation
Even if you don't directly "talk" to your customers online, great content brings a human voice to your business and builds confidence and trust with potential customers. If your business receives any kind of negative attention through a poor review or unsatisfied social media user, a reputation backed by content will help reinforce a positive image in the face of some bad press. Regular content published through a blog can also provide an established platform that consumers can look to for an official response to any negative publicity.
Content marketing is a huge part of any business's online strategy and is a must for businesses looking to increase SEO value, generate leads and manage an online reputation. If you don't have a comprehensive content marketing strategy in place, be sure to make it a top priority moving forward.

My edition of this novel is the Virago Modern Classics reprint of 2001, which contains an introduction by Paul Bailey. In there he refers to a letter he received from Elizabeth Taylor after a "New Statesman" article he wrote in 1973. She wrote:
I feel , after a time, that my books have dropped into a pit, and must lie there for ever and ever. And there they were, brought to the light of day once more, and by someone who had truly read them.
Well I can't guarantee that I have "truly read" Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont, but I can let you know that I am grateful that this novel made a Booker Prize Shortlist so I was fortunate enough to come across it as part of this reading journey. I am grateful they haven't fallen into a pit.
As the title suggests our main character is Mrs Palfrey, widowed and embarking upon a new stage in her life where she arrives at the Claremont Hotel, to see out her retirement. The Hotel is also the residence of a number of other elderly residents whose daily highlight is the posting of the evening menu (even though it never changes), gossip, the weather report on the radio and the events in the other resident's lives.
Mrs Palfrey has a disinterested grandson Desmond, who everyone is dying to meet. A chance encounter with a young writer Ludo, allows Mrs Palfrey to create the impression, to her fellow residents, that this is her grandson.
What Philip Hensher did for the monotony of suburbia in his 2008 shorlisted novel "The Northern Clemency", Elizabeth Taylor did 37 years earlier for the aged care facilities of England, or the hotels that had permanent residents, as the aged couldn't afford full time care. Primarily a novel about aging, but including characters that suffer writers block (or procrastination) and subjects such as boredom and jealousy this is written with such precise and luminous prose that you cannot help to feel for the main characters.
It was hard work being old. It was like being a baby, in reverse. Every day for an infant means some new little thing learned; every day for the old means some little thing lost. Names slip away, dates mean nothing, sequences become muddled, and faces blurred. Both infancy and age are tiring times.
The ordinary people of Britain, the ones novels are rarely written about, the ones with the "stiff upper lip", the ones who give themselves a "good talking-to", are the ones whose lives I entered through my time with this novel, and I am grateful of that time. A whole "middle class" too rarely seen in the pages of award writers novels.
This was one of my favourites from the 1971 list and in summary one that I personally believe deserved the main gong, slightly in front of Lessing's "Briefing for a Decent into Hell", Kilroy's "The Big Chapel", then Naipaul's winner and Derek Robinson's "Goshawk Squadron". I am still on the hunt for the missing "St Urbain's Horseman" and once I find myself a copy will post a review here.

Yesterday my friend, Marsha, came over to learn to spin on her new Ashford Kiwi. She bought the wheel before she knew how to spin – an awesomely brave woman (must be a Gryffindor) – a year ago! Now she felt she was ready to forge ahead and forge she did. She spun four yarns from four different preparations and did fabulously. When she left, she was trying to decide if she wanted to save her first yarn as her "First Yarn" or crochet it into a coaster.
It was a wonderful day for me getting to discuss with Marsha such things as muscle memory, knowing "on the inside" when the time is right to try something new; the thrill of simply "plunging in" and learning what you want to learn without all the pre-lectures on history, means, and methods; learning something new when everyone else says you are "too old"; creativity (and noting that awesome quality in our friend Kathy who is never afraid to boldly go where no one has gone before); and other great discussion topics. We had such fun with Marsha learning to spin and seeing proof before her very eyes that even those of us who have been spinning for years make mistakes (I accidently plied in the same direction as I spun my teaching sample and, well, you spinners will know what happened. Not a pretty sight, but an excellent teaching tool!).
On the knitting side, I am working on a Knitting Pure and Simple pullover with stash yarn toward my goal of using up as much of my stash as possible this year. As usual, I can't leave even such a great pattern as this alone and am toying with the idea of using ribbing instead of the rolled edgings on the sweater. Not a big change, but one that works better for me and my lifestyle. Also, yesterday's spinning class got me excited about getting back to spinning more of the top for my multi-colored vest, so I may be sitting at the wheel more in the upcoming month. So much fiber excitement! What is the fiber excitement in your life?

A major study released by Columbia University's Tow Center for Digital Journalism concluded that computer generated articles, crowdsourcing and bloggers are not expected to replace professional journalists. The report, titled "Post-Industrial Journalism," said that the technological information boom coupled with economic shifts created both a negative and positive impact on journalism. The study was written by C.W. Anderson of CUNY and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, Emily Bell of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia and Clay Shirky of NYU.
According to AFP, the study said that in certain types of reporting, professional journalists cannot be replaced by algorithms or crowdsourcing. It indicated that since the traditional advertising-supported model of newspaper and broadcast journalism has changed, news divisions have had to cut costs, which led to a reduction in the quality of reporting. The authors added, "We are convinced that journalism in this country will get worse before it gets better, and, in some places (principally midsize and small cities with no daily paper) it will get markedly worse."

Flip over to Google right quick and search "plane crashes into residential area." Go ahead. I'll wait.
One of the top results you'll find is the August 2013 story of a fiery crash involving a general aviation aircraft that slammed into a house in a suburban Connecticut neighborhood. The pilot of that craft, Bill Henningsgaard, and his son, Maxwell, were flying around to visit colleges that Maxwell might attend after graduating high school.
The crash killed Bill and Maxwell Henningsgaard. It also killed two children, ages 1 and 13, who were in the house into which Henningsgaard's plane crashed.
You'll also find that, on July 16 of this year, a 73-year-old pilot survived when his single-engine plane crashed in the back yard of a home in a residential area of Hillsborough, N.J. His plane was an amateur-built model.
"It's pretty freaky being a homeowner living where I live, knowing that could have ended up being my house," Anthony Quintano, who lives near the crash site, told The Star Ledger. Quintano used to live near Teterboro Airport, also in New Jersey, and said he'd seen crashes there as well. "It's always nerve wracking living near some kind of airport, especially with small planes, which seem to crash a lot more."
Quintano's observation isn't far off the mark. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), 94 percent of the fatal aviation accidents that occurred in 2011 involved a category of aircraft called "general aviation."
General aviation includes high-powered, professionally piloted corporate jets like the Gulfstream IV (one of which crashed at a general aviation airport near Boston in June of this year, killing seven). It also includes small, privately-owned planes flown by amateur pilots. Some of these planes are built by amateurs from kits or pieced together from scrap and spare parts salvaged from junkyards and hobby shops.
By comparison, commercial aviation — those massive jumbo jets most people think about when they consider air travel — accounted for exactly zero deaths in 2011. According to the NTSB, general aviation aircraft average about seven accidents per 100,000 flight hours, while commercial airlines average 0.16 accidents per 100,000 flight hours.
In fact, from 2008 to 2012, there were more than 7,500 general aviation crashes in the United States. A great many of them are fatal, not only for the pilots who willingly took their lives in their own hands or the passengers who willingly sought the thrill of going up in a small plane, but also for unsuspecting people on the ground. Just this week, a pilot crash-landed his plane on a Florida beach, killing a 36-year-old U.S. Army sergeant and his 9-year-old daughter. That pilot, flying a small plane built in 1972, radioed to the airport that he was having trouble. Rather than ditching in the ocean and losing his precious plane, he elected to land on the beach — where there were people — which claimed two lives even as he and his passenger walked away without injury.
(There is absolutely an economic angle to these circumstances, too. Most general aviation plane crashes occur in close proximity to airports. Those who have money to invest in their housing often don't live near airports, landfills, wastewater plants, jails, etc. So the people in greatest risk of losing their home to a plane crash also are those least likely to participate in the hobby of general aviation themselves.)
These pilots, who have the money to spend on aircraft and fuel for pleasure flights (when's the last time you casually priced buying your own airplane?) are subject to far looser regulations than commercial aviation. So loose, in fact, that they're not even required to carry liability insurance on their aircraft.
Hence the case of a Palm Coast, Fla. woman who lost her home when a small plane crashed into it. The woman escaped the burning home through a window. The crash killed the pilot, Michael Anders, and his two passengers. But because Anders was not required to carry — and elected not to spend the money to carry — liability insurance on his pleasure plane, the woman who was unfortunate enough to own a home in Anders' flight path now has no way to rebuild her home or recover from the physical and psychological injuries she suffered in the crash. In fact, even though Anders could evidently afford a plane, his estate itself was insolvent so the woman has absolutely no recourse.
Requiring liability insurance could radically reshape general aviation. Insurers can set and more rigorously enforce requirements that pilots have more flight training before taking off on their own — including a set number of hours in the particular aircraft he or she is piloting. They can also require inspection of personal aircraft to ensure they are fit to fly. This creates a safer environment not only for the pilots and passengers, but for terrestrial dwellers like you and me.
Liability insurance also provides some help for people who are the real victims of general aviation crashes (I don't spend a lot of time weeping for the wealthy pilots who knowingly engage in a hobby that is risky not only for themselves, but have no qualms putting the rest of us in danger as well): the passengers and the people on the ground. Not only is the lady in Palm Coast without a home, but two families lost loved ones who were aboard that aircraft when it crashed, and they, too, will receive no benefits from the crash.
If the Federal Aviation Administration is unwilling to effectively police general aviation — and they're not, evidenced by a goal they set 15 years ago to reduce the annual number of general aviation crashes and the fact that, over those 15 years, the average number of annual general aviation crashes has remained static — then maybe the insurance industry will do it.
And with any luck, they'll ground some of these flying cowboys before they can crash and kill even more of us.
After all, if Bill and Maxwell Henningsgaard just drove to colleges like normal people, two children would still be alive and a mother would've been spared watching her babies burn alive in the house where they should've been safest of all.

Ephesians 6:10-17
In Methodist tradition, when a person is baptized, the pastor asks three historic questions of our faith. These three questions represent three promises to God that we're expected to keep. They're referred to as our baptismal vows, the vows that we make to God as we begin our Christian journey. For most of us, these are the first vows that we ever make. For all of us, these are the vows that should form us, the commitments that should shape the way we live our lives.Today is week two of our three-week sermon series called Our Vows, where we're exploring each of these baptismal promises. Last week, we talked about the first vow: Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness, reject the evil powers of this world, and repent of your sin? That sermon is on our website if you missed it and would like to get caught up.This week, we're exploring the second vow that we make at our baptism: "Do you accept the freedom and power God gives you to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves?" Do you
accept the freedom and power God gives you to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves?It's good to let the enormity of this vow sink in before answering yes, whether at our own baptism, our child's baptism, or when reaffirming our baptismal covent. Because resisting evil, injustice, and oppression in
whatever forms they present themselves is no small thing. To say yes to this question is to promise that we'll side with God to fight evil in this world. That we'll work to correct the injustices of this world. That we'll stand up against oppression in this world. Which means that to say yes to this question is to promise that our convictions will take priority over our comfort and our convenience.
We must honestly face the fact that this is not the easy path. This is almost always the risky path. Because evil, injustice and oppression do not appreciate being resisted. But it is the path to which we are called.
This morning, I want to talk about evil, injustice, and oppression in reverse order. I want to explore the subtle distinctions between these three enemies of God's desire for creation. And I want to illustrate the point with a specific example. We'll begin with oppression.
Oppression is when those with power exploit or abuse those with less power or with no power. When those with power — physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, economic, political, military — exploit or abuse those with less power or with no power.
Examples of oppression are rampant throughout the Bible. And in every case, God both sides with the oppressed and expects God's faithful to do so as well. So in the Old Testament, for example, it's the Egyptians enslaving the Hebrews. During the era of the kingdom of Israel, it's those who have financial resources exploiting those who do not. In the New Testament era, it's the brutal tyranny of the Romans over God's faithful throughout the empire.
Oppression, of course, is still rampant in our world today. There are all-too-many examples of those with power exploiting or abusing those those with less power or with no power. Since October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, domestic violence is the specific example I want to talk through today.
To put it bluntly, domestic violence is a form of oppression. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence defines domestic violence as "the willful intimidation, physical assault…sexual assault, and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. The statistics about this form of oppression are shocking and horrifying.
It's estimated that 1 in 3 women, and 1 in 4 men in the United States have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. On average, 20 people every minute of every day are physically abused by an intimate parter, That's 10 million people each year. For a host of reasons, only 34% of these victims receive medical care for their injuries.
72% of murder-suicides are the result of domestic violence. 94% of the victims of these crimes are female. In the state of Texas, it's estimated that 75% of 16-24 year olds have either experienced dating violence or know of another young person who has.
As God's faithful, we're called to resist such oppression. First, and most obviously, by not participating in it. Which means that we are called to get help if, God forbid, we find ourselves to be either perpetrators or victims of domestic violence. We resist such oppression by getting help for family or friends who are victims of domestic violence. And by teaching our children — particularly our sons — that God expects them to treat all people, and especially the intimate partners they date and marry, with dignity and respect. And by teaching our children — particularly our daughters — that God expects their intimate partners to treat them with dignity and respect. And by educating ourselves about the problem and helping raise awareness of this issue.
Oppression becomes injustice when society does not take adequate steps to prevent and solve the problem. When we respond to such oppression with indifference or complacency or ignorance. For example, in 2013 in the state of Texas, it's estimated that 31% of domestic violence victims requesting shelter were turned away due to lack of resources.
As God's faithful, we're called to resist such injustice by supporting local shelters, to make sure the needs of those being oppressed can be met. And by vocally affirming law enforcement officials who are trying to combat the problem through prosecution of the perpetrators and finding safe haven for the victims. And through bipartisan action with our elected officials, to ensure that resources are available to help victims and their children.
That's what it looks like to resist injustice and oppression. Let's turn to our Scripture text to help us with the idea of evil…
[Read Ephesians 6:10-12]
Paul's Letter to the Ephesians is written to a community comprised almost entirely of Gentile converts to the Christian faith. Coming from a pagan, polytheistic background, these were folks who were just getting to know the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They were newcomers to the faith who had no grounding in the Law of Moses. No understanding of Judeo-Christian standards of moral and ethical behavior. And their new faith had begun to radically transform their personal and social identities, as they were learning the basics of what it means to follow Christ.
So it's striking that a discussion of evil features prominently near the end of this letter. It's also striking that the problem of evil features prominently in our first two baptismal vows. It's striking, and something that we should take seriously. "For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against…the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil…"(Side note — as a child of the '80's, when I read the word evil, I hear it in the voice of Vincent Price, with that cackling laugh that comes at the end of Michael Jackson's Thriller. But I digress.)
In the New Testament, as is evident in the verses we just read, evil is personified by the devil, by Satan. In this understanding, the devil is a fallen angel, whose pride and desire to be an equal with God has gotten him expelled from the heavenly court. There are demons who worship and serve the devil, just as there are angels who worship and serve God.
And there's a cosmic battle between good and evil. A battle for the hearts and souls of human beings. Because human beings are God's favored creation, the object of God's devotion and love, with whom God desires a relationship. So Satan and his demons seek to get back at God by attacking God's children. This is a cosmic battle whose casualties are evident in the pain, suffering, and death that we see all around us in this world. A cosmic battle that will indeed be won by God and the forces of good. But that final victory will not come until Christ returns at the final judgment.
This is the traditional understanding of evil and the way it shows up in the world. It's the understanding held by the vast majority of Christians — Orthodox, Roman Catholics, many conservative expressions of Protestantism, and a fair number of folks in the Methodist tradition. It's the understanding that I was taught growing up, and it's still the understanding that makes the most sense to me.
But it's not the only understanding of evil. For some folks, and for many Methodists, this traditional understanding of evil represents an ancient worldview that can be reinterpreted. There are plenty of faithful Christians for whom the personified concept of evil — Satan and his demons — is not helpful. For some, the manifestation of evil in the world is the result of immoral choices, an unfortunate consequence of God's gift of free will. A terrible misuse of free will that results in the pain, suffering, and death that we see all around us in this world.I want to make clear that both the traditional and the reinterpreted understandings of the doctrine are evil are faithful. They also agree on an important point.My favorite professor of all time was my Systematic Theology professor in seminary, a guy named Rev. Dr. Billy Abraham. Billy is a brilliant theologian. His doctorate is from Oxford. He's written I-don't-know-how-many books, any number of which I would highly recommend. His class pushed me intellectually more than I've ever been pushed, before or since. He's also Irish, from Northern Ireland. He speaks with this wonderful Irish accent. He's constantly got a smile on his face, and a twinkle in his eye. When I think of the Irish, I think of Notre Dame Football, my favorite band, U2, and Billy Abraham.
Well one day in class, Billy was lecturing about the problem of evil. And he said, "I know some of you Americans don't believe in Satan and his demons. That's your business. But I'll tell you now that we Irish believe in the little people."
Then he told us something that I never would have expected a professor at SMU to talk about. He said that he had participated in an exorcism back home in Ireland with a Catholic priest friend of his. He said that he had seen evil embodied close up, and that he never wanted to see it again.
And he told us that, as we think through the doctrine of evil, whether we have a traditional or reinterpreted understanding, the witness of the Christian faith is clear and consistent and uncompromising. It's biblical, and it's a central part of our baptismal vows.
The main point to be made about evil is that evil is real. It's a reality in the world at cross-purposes with God. Whether it's an external force that's engaged in a cosmic battle for the hearts and souls of God's children, or the immoral choices made in a misuse of human free will, evil is the cause of the pain, suffering, and death that we see all around us in this world. The oppression of children of God is a manifestation of evil. To allow the perpetuation of an injustice is to fail in our resistance to evil.
And it's real enough and a big enough deal, that at the very beginning of our Christian journeys we make a vow to God to resist it, in whatever forms it presents itself. And the author of Ephesians tells us about how we are to resist…
[Read Ephesians 6:13-17]
Take up the whole armor of God, Ephesians tells us. Truth. Righteousness. The gospel of peace. Faith. Salvation. The word of God. In these things, God offers us freedom and power. And if good is to make headway against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, then God's people must take up the whole armor of God.
For the purpose of resisting evil, injustice, and oppression, in whatever forms they present themselves.
I want to say that again, because it's a vital point. The freedom and power that God gives us is not to be used simply for our own personal salvation and wellbeing. It's to be used in the service of God. On the side of God against what our first baptismal vow calls the evil powers of this world. Because if we as God's faithful don't resist, this present darkness will grow darker still.
Here's how Albert Einstein put it. He said, "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." That's how evil, injustice, and oppression survive and thrive.
As followers of Christ, we're called to take up the whole armor of God. Because in the 20 minutes that I've been talking, 400 people in this country have been victims of domestic violence. God needs us to resist that.And of course, that's just one of the seemingly countless forms in which evil, injustice, and oppression present themselves. None of us can resist all of the ways that they present themselves in this world. But all of us can resist at least one of the ways they do. And allof us are called to be engaged in the battle.The author, professor, and activist Elie Wiesel died in July. After surviving the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald, he devoted his life to resisting evil, injustice, and oppression in the world. His brilliant and haunting book,
Night , should be required reading for us all.
When he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, his acceptance speech was a powerful testimony to the ideas we're talking about this morning. Although his theological perspective was from Judaism, we of course love and serve the God. And he could just as well have been talking about our second baptismal vow as Methodist Christians.
He said, "We know that every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering; not to share them would mean to betray them. Our lives no longer belong to us alone; they belong to all those who need us desperately.
…And that is why I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."
Friends, may we the accept the freedom and power God gives us. And may we have the courage and willingness to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

February can be an awkward, even bewildering, time for sports fans. Winter begins with college football hype and the end of the NFL regular season. January brings an endless string of bowl games, then the NFL playoffs. Then the two-week hype building up to the Super Bowl. The day after The Big Game can feel like a letdown. My sons are into hockey, and my youngest likes the NBA (we aren't sure where he gets this), so those are the sports that grace the TV in my house now.
As for me, this is the time I turn my attention to men's college basketball, as the conference tournaments approach, and then NCAA March Madness. I didn't know anything about March Madness until my first job in DC. (The basketball team at my college was not a contender.) The employees where I worked had a pool, and I filled out my first bracket, using the USA Today team analysis as a guide, then clutched it, highlighter in hand, while watching all the games on the first and second days of the tournament. Well, the late games, after work. This was long ago, in the Mesozoic era before the internet, when we had to call George Michael's Sports Machine hotline to get the latest scores.
As I write this, I have learned that pitchers and catchers reported for Spring training yesterday. Which means springtime, and baseball, are just around the corner. The mornings are getting lighter and daylight lingers a little longer in the evening. Longer, better days are ahead. They have to be. (Don't they?)

So this video, about two young boys refusing to budge from a Nursing Room in a public library, has been making it's rounds around little Singapore.
Dealing with your little ones is tough enough without having others adding to the trials and tribulations of parenthood. Especially early parenthood – before the 'off the table eating' phase and 'Mommy I need to go poo poo' phase. Before that everything is basically on manual mode and you need to keep to feed times – harder if you're breastfeeding – and the only warning that they've taken a crap is the awful stench that only baby poo can generate.

Whether you want to write a business plan for managing your company better, for the bank or for potential investors you have come to the right place! Follow these 6 essential tips!
Putting together a strong business plan is really important. The business plan helps you set achievable goals and plan how you are going to reach them. While writing a business plan can be a time-consuming and daunting task, you don't need any special knowledge or a fancy business degree to craft a good one – although there are several tools you can use to write your business plan, for example an encyclopedia of terms is very useful in these cases-.
However, you do need to have a passion, vision, organization, be dedicated and willing to put in a lot of work in this project.
So, whether you want to write a business plan for managing your company better, for the bank or for the potential investors, you have come to the right place. We are going to present you 6 essential tips you should follow. These tips are going to help you write a great business plan:
Great Business Plan
- Star with a basic and simple outline that will make sense to everyone - Start with an executive summary which should be written on 2-3 pages. Remember, you need to convince your employees, the bank, and the potential investors and to encourage them to read the whole plan. You need to showcase your understanding of the market, the current and most popular trends, present your unique selling proposition, why should people purchase your products and services, and provide a proof of concept. You need to prove that your business is much more than an idea, but a solution to a specific problem. m.
- The business plan should be well-structured and sharp - If you want to write a great business plan you need to set out clearly what your company does. Don't get confused with the business model which explains how your business works.
- Be transparent - When it comes to due diligence, transparency plays a crucial role. It is an element that will help you establish trust and confidence between you and your investor, which is essential for any business relationship. Remember not to stick to a certain script or sound boring. It is important to listen to what the potential investors are asking and saying and be able to meet their needs and interests. There is nothing worse than not being able to understand what they are saying and appear out of sync with them or unable to follow their thoughts and actions. You need to be transparent from the start.
4. Get to the market as fast as possible – You need to understand something – this is not a race where you need to beat your rivals. It is an opportunity to validate your business model. Your plan is based on beliefs, theories, and assumptions that might not be true. There is a motto that says fail fast, meaning if you think your project is going to fail, you need to get there before losing everything.
5. Use a format that works best for you – This could be anything that suits you – crayons, bullet points, video or a voice recording, a spider diagram, and etc. After you are done, refine it. The end version of the plan should be in a format that you completely understand and that it is easily accessible.
6. Hide weaknesses – Your plan should include a SWOT analysis – analysis of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. SWOT is what makes you special and different from the competition. Every entrepreneur should capitalize on the strengths and use them to grow their company, while working to reduce the weaknesses.
Once you are done, review your business plan, and ensure you are ready to conquer the business world!

Trail and dog days of summer
Mozzie is a one year old Bulldog mix we adopted from Verona St. Animal Shelter. He's the sweetest, super chill dog and I loved him right away. He ended up in the shelter because someone had tied him to the bleachers in Genesee Valley Park and abandoned him. Seriously, what kind of asshat does that?
Mozzie, my pup, you live here now and I promise your life is going to be all happy times and lots of love from here on out.
Lyric of the moment: "I could lift you up. I could show you what you wanna see and take you where you wanna be. You could be my luck. Even in a hurricane of frowns, I know that we'll be safe and sound..."

KINCARDINE, ONT.—Accidents of the type that led to the closure of an underground nuclear waste facility in New Mexico won't happen in this province, Ontario Power Generation insists.
But chiefs of the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) told a federal panel as hearings re-opened Tuesday that they remain to be persuaded that OPG's plans will protect their territory.
OPG wants to bury low- and intermediate-level nuclear waste in a limestone formation 680 metres deep on the site of the Bruce nuclear plant near Kincardine.
"We have come today with tough but open minds — and deep concerns over our future," Chief Vernon Roote told the panel.
Chief Arlene Cheghano said the SON doesn't want to accept new risks, and noted that the waste site, which contains material that will remain dangerously radioactive for hundreds of millennia, is a "forever" project.
"Our concerns have not yet calmed," she said. "We will keep and open mind, but we will test what we hear."
Tuesday's hearings focused on whether OPG's project is affected by two incidents at the WIPP waste site in New Mexico, which stores waste material from the U.S. nuclear weapons program in underground salt caverns.
A fire in an underground vehicle in February forced evacuation of the operation. Ten days later, in another part of the storage area, radiation leaked from a waste container, and a small amount escaped to the surface. The cause isn't certain.
But a robotic camera has shown a container with a lid that appears to have been damaged by heat — possibly caused by a chemical reaction of materials packed inside.
One theory is that cat litter, used to mop up a liquid spill, reacted with chemicals in the bin.
OPG officials ran through a list of factors that make the WIPP operation — which remains closed — different from OPG's planned waste site.
In industry jargon, OPG's site is a deep geologic repository, or DGR.
Waste at the Kincardine site will all come from OPG's nuclear reactors, the utility's Lise Morton told the hearing. The company knows and understands its properties, she said.
The WIPP site receives material from a variety of government labs, and contains a broader spectrum of chemicals, she said.
"There has been no evidence of strong chemical reactions of the type seen at WIPP," she said.
That point has been disputed in a submission filed by Gordon Edwards of the Canadian Coalition of Nuclear Responsibility, which notes that OPG ultimately intends to bury waste from de-commissioned reactors at the site.
"The variety of waste forms intended for OPG's DGR staggers the imagination," he wrote.
Morton also argued that OPG has a much stronger safety culture inculcated in its workforce. WIPP suffered from a "degraded" safety culture, according to a post-accident investigation.
Panel member Gunter Muecke asked whether inadvertently mixing volatile chemicals — which may have led to some of the problems at WIPP — could happen in OPG's operation.
Morton said that OPG's waste — currently stored on the surface at the Bruce plant — has never shown evidence of violent chemical reactions, as may have happened at WIPP.
OPG has rules about what materials are mixed, she said.
A number of containers were opened and examined several years ago when they had to be moved. All were found to contain what they were supposed to, she said.
Kathleen Klassen of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission said they doesn't expect to encounter some problems that occurred at WIPP, where most air monitors that warn of airborne radiation were not working.
Only one monitor was working at the time of the radiation release, and it broke down less than half an hour after sounding an alarm.
The Bruce site will have good equipment, and it will be kept in good order, Klassen said.
Don Hancock, a New Mexico-based researcher who has closely watched the WIPP events, was skeptical about OPG's assurances, noting that WIPP had always been confident about its operations.
"This event was never supposed to happen," he told the hearing by telephone link.
Both workers and the public were misinformed about the accidents in the days after they occurred, he said.
The result of the accidents is that no one knows when the site will be able to re-start operations, what changes will have to be made, or how much it will cost, he said.

I can only lay claim to an understanding of French & Spanish when it comes to usages in languages other than English. I find it odd that while all 3 languages have separate words for "happy" and "content" (heureux/content; feliz/contento), in English we seem to use the word "happy" far more often than "content". The usage of these two words in British and American English would seem to indicate that "happy" is a desired state of affairs, whereas "content" is a poor second, even suggesting settling for less. However, judging from French & Spanish usages, "content/ contento" is a common and expected state in daily occurrence, whereas "heureux/feliz" is relatively unusual and confined primarily to holidays and rare transcendental states.
I would hate to draw prejudicial ethnic conclusions from word usage, but this one really seems to call the question. Hey, the American constitution says nothing about "pursuit of contentment", does it?
Research is made difficult because of the other meaning of 'content': 'that which is contained'. A Google Ngram of content v happy shows much more frequent use of content.
In an attempt to refine the data, I tried content with v happy with and the result is here. I'll leave it to others to get results from the French and Spanish equivalents. There is of course the difficulty of genders in those languages.
Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
I'm increasing my happiness by becoming more contentious.
Give a man a fish and he can eat for one day; give a man a fishing pole and he will find an excuse to never work again.
Nollidj is power.
I know little French and less Spanish, but from what I do know it seems to me that feliz/heureux shades more towards "joy" or even "rapture" than happiness. It's the foreplay of happiness and the orgasm of joy, one might say. Now, where does Mick Jagger's "I don't get no satisfaction" fit into this?
As for the preamble to the US Constitution, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T..._World_Became_Modern You'll therein discover how that line came to be.
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -J. Krishnamurti
Another French term that trips me up is demander. It looks like the infinitive French, "to demand," and it is, but unlike in English, there's no lawyer behind it - it's much more polite! It's the word you use when you ask or request.
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -J. Krishnamurti
That's better than becoming more incontinent!
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. -J. Krishnamurti
I agree with you, Bethree, about the difference between happiness and content. Yet I am thinking these languages must have both.
Gosh, Arnie, reading over your post, I see that I hadn't challenged my observation of usage at all. I agree, it's difficult to research in this case, & w/o any research I guess it's just opinion.This message has been edited. Last edited by: bethree5,
They do have both, it's just that in Spanish or French, the typical translation for a smiley-face would be 'contento', or 'content', rather than 'feliz' or 'heureux'. As Geoff says, the latter words (which we would also translate as 'happy') shade in meaning more toward joy.
Oh well not to beat a dead horse

Heavens, the comments ratcheted up fast and early this week! 50+ by Monday; 70 on Tuesday evening and finishing, this Friday morning at 85 with my comment on Rosie's literally last-minute piece.
What a buzz of a week too, not least for comments. I was especially grateful to AR Martin for his definition of 'lived in' - a quality I aspire to - but also to Patricia for using 'gargoyle', Wondra for her imaginative FB attack and Antonia's new-vamped crew for 'Infinity'..
Not for the first time, however, first place goes to a newcomer: Perry McDaid's 'Siege Under' was a beautifully-crafted, epic-sized subtly horrific entry, and I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping he will stay around.
