Are "hook up" apps leading to a new kind of dating culture on college campuses? Dating apps like Tinder and Bumble are have a different impact on the lives of college students versus older daters. Many students are using these apps to circumvent the romantic gatekeeping that campus party culture has long dominated.
We provide an overview of associations between income inequality and intergenerational mobility in the United States, Canada, and eight European countries. We analyze whether this correlation is observed across and within countries over time. We investigate Great Gatsby curves and perform metaregression analyses based on several papers on this topic. Results suggest that countries with high levels of inequality tend to have lower levels of mobility.
Some have questioned the financial wisdom of homeownership and, especially, Black homeownership. This is understandable because the mortgage crisis dealt heavy blows to Black homeowners. One concern is that home values may not appreciate as much where Blacks purchase homes. We examine how Black homebuyers fared compared to White and Latino buyers in terms of home appreciation during the 2012 to 2017 recovery. We examine appreciation rates by race and ethnicity across 15 metros.
Urban sociologists and gentrification scholars have long been interested in examining the combination of structural and micro‐level forces that result in the displacement and exclusion of low‐income residents from changing neighborhoods. However, the types of everyday activities and the social and spatial practices that exclude residents who remain in these neighborhoods are an understudied part of the gentrification story. How are exclusive spaces created? What are the specific social processes that lead to exclusive space?
Most historically and predominantly white institutions (HPWIs) now desire some number of black students on their campuses. However, recent theoretical scholarship suggests that HPWIs' desire for and willingness to embrace black students is predicated on their racial palatability. The theory of intraracial discrimination stipulates that white gatekeepers are increasingly inclined to screen blacks to "weed out" those they perceive as too concerned with race and racism.

Justin Cheung-Food Feeder Plus Food Feeder
At Design Interviews
Interview with Justin Cheung : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Justin Cheung : Food Feeder Plus is a feeding essential that developed to let little ones safely and independently explore new tastes and textures at early age 6 months without the risk of choking. Its innovative yet simple design gives babies a head start toward a lifetime of healthy eating. It also helps developing babies' fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Justin Cheung : We would like to encourage self-feeding, reduce the risk of choking and introduce a safe and easy way to use the product. As the appearance of Food Feeder Plus looks like a teether, babies will find it easy and familiar when using it. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Justin Cheung : We hope to introduce Food Feeder Plus to all the babies and parents all around the world as self-feeding could be easy and convenience with numerous advantages. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Justin Cheung : We spent around a few weeks to come up with the solid concept of Food Feeder Plus. It took us several months for design development to come up with the final design. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Justin Cheung : The inspiration comes from another team member, Herman Lo. He wants to give his son a taste of the world, as he very much appreciates different cultures and cuisine. He imagines how wonderful it will be if Edwin can also experience a diverse palette of tastes and textures during mealtimes. However, as Herman was helping his son make the important transition from liquid to solid food, he experienced some early frustrations. And we came up the best solution - Food Feeder Plus. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?.

Mr. Speaker, 70% of the claims brought by former IRS students were brought directly against the church organizations involved and the federal government. We have never left the negotiation table. We are happy to continue negotiations but we felt we had to reach out directly to the victims so their legitimate concerns could be dealt with much more quickly than if the matter was left to the courts to grind along over 25 years.
I am surprised the hon. member does not support that objective. He used to support it. It is time he got back to it. The priority is the victims.

Basketball helped shape Greenes life
As Brannen Greene prepared to sign a National Letter-of-Intent with the University of Kansas on Thursday, Jeffrey Greene, Brannen's father, couldn't help but smile with thinking about the path his son has chosen.
"When I watched Brannen sign with Kansas today, I was like,' Wow'," said Jeffrey Greene, who played college basketball at Pittsburg State. "I mean, that would really say it all. That's how I felt this morning when I woke up, it was kind of like this is the day that he inks that contract and it's a dream fulfilled.
"His goal was to play high-major basketball," he added. "My goal or my dream for him is to provide every tool and every avenue I could to help him reach that, so today was that dream for him realized. It was just a really, really nice moment for me."
Greene, the 6-foot-7, 200-pound small forward from Tift County High School in Tifton, Ga., is the highest ranked signee in KU's 2013 recruiting class. Currently, he's the No. 25 ranked player in the class, and the 5th best small forward.
Looking back at his recruitment, Greene had an almost unlimited number of options to consider. He took unofficial visits to Kansas, Duke, Connecticut, Louisville, Florida, Harvard, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Florida State and UCLA. Greene, a four-star prospect, was also scheduled to visit Kentucky and Memphis before committing to Bill Self and the Jayhawks on December 20, 2011.
The love father and son have for the game of basketball has only strengthened their bond.
"I accomplished a lot at Pittsburgh State and my name is still in the record books for points, rebounds and all of that stuff," said Greene. "I learned a lot through the game, and through that Midwestern area, I've been able to pass some things off to Brannen, which has helped him play at an even higher level.
"Now, the test was, if schools like Kansas and Duke and those types of schools would come along," he added. "And they did, from Kentucky to Kansas, he was recruited by those schools. When I think about all of that, yes, it's a special moment for me."
While Thursday was certainly a memorable day for Jeffrey and the entire Greene family, for Brannen, Thursday, at least the first few hours, were treated just like any other day.
However, as the time came for Greene to make his verbal commitment to Kansas official by signing a National Letter-of-Intent, Jeffrey sensed something different about his son.
After a brief exchange between father and son, it didn't take long for the elder Greene to reach a conclusion.
"The morning started off like any typical morning," he said. "We ate breakfast and we discussed the day and what time I would get to the school. Brannen kept asking me if I had the paperwork, and I told him that I had everything. There was nothing unusual about the morning. But once I got over to the school, I could tell.
You know, he looked like a strutting peacock," he added. "He told me at one moment,' 'Dad, I didn't think that I would be nervous. I'm just nervous for some reason and I've got butterflies.' "I told Brannen I think that is excitement. He said he was really, really happy. I think as it got closer, he realized it. I just left him, and we spent the past four hours together, and he's beaming. He's beaming like a peacock. He is so excited and so happy."
For some of the nation's elite high school basketball prospects, signing day signifies the end of a process that can, at times, be overwhelming, time consuming and physically and emotionally draining. Between the contact phone calls, e-mails, text messages, visits, etc, the opportunity to live a normal life doesn't exist.
However, that wasn't the case for Brannen Greene. Before reaching a final decision, the native of Tifton, Ga., along with his father, put a plan in place. After taking a number of unofficial visits, Greene on October 13, 2011, narriwed his list of schools to Kansas, Connecticut, Florida, Florida State, Harvard, Louisville, Memphis, and Ohio State.
After taking everything in, considering all of his options, and evaluating each program, Greene, on December 20, 2011, committed to Kansas.
"Kansas came around early," he said. "They weren't about telling him things that they thought might convince him to pick them as a school. They were real open with him, and honest. He felt that honesty and that openness, and he shared that with me. Kansas wasn't the only school that Brannen felt that way about, but I'll say it was one of three schools that he felt were being truthful.
"Out of that, some other little intrinsic things started to evolve," he added. "He's a small-town kid and Kansas appealed to his sensibility of that, and I think that was more or less the deciding factor. Brannen took two unofficial visits to Kansas, and experiencing that culture, I think that just filled it for him."

Malocclusion is a poor fit (alignment) of the teeth and jaws. A
common cause of malocclusion is teeth that have too much or too little room in
the jaw. As a result, teeth may grow or drift out of place. Some people refer
to it as having crooked teeth or a "poor bite."

|Relative rest will give overused muscles and tendons a chance to heal. What's next is to pay attention to your posture and do exercises designed to strengthen your shoulder
girdle, forearm, and wrist.
To restore good posture, let your shoulder girdles rest on your rib cage. Your shoulders tend to ride upward during the course of a workday. Gently remind yourself to let go
of these tight neck and upper back muscles, allowing the shoulders to assume a neutral position and rest on the upper rib cage.
Shoulder shrugs are a useful isometric exercise that will help relieve painful trigger points. Sitting comfortably, lift both shoulders as high as they can go. Not forcing
anything, just lifting. Hold at the highest position for a moment, then relax, gently returning the shoulders to a neutral position. Repeat three times.

Selecting Bathroom Fixtures
Selecting bathroom fixtures and their fittings requires a bit of know-how, along with a sense of style. Some fixtures and fittings have changed in style over the years since indoor plumbing first transformed human existence, but their functions have undergone only minor changes.
You may opt to replace a damaged or worn fixture and keep the rest, or you may replace the entire suite. In fact, replacing fixtures without relocating them is one of the most popular, cost-effective ways to redo a bath.
Pedestal and Wall-Hung Sinks
For a diminutive powder room or an elegant, lightly scaled look in any bath, pedestal and wall-hung sinks are just the ticket. Enameled cast iron (not steel, which chips easily), vitreous china, stainless steel, solid surfacing, and even colorful art glass (specially tempered, of course) are all used for freestanding sinks.
Versatile styles range from nostalgically traditional to space-age modern; at the very high end, pedestal sinks are made of semiprecious stones, such as agate or rose quartz, or with opulent hand-painted basins featuring lavish illustrations.
A bonus: Pedestal and wall-hung sinks are easily accessible to wheelchair users, and the wall-hung models can be set at just the right height. Sinks may be skirted to provide for hidden storage; glass or wood shelves can be installed above for open storage.
Lavatory (In-Counter) Sinks
If you need the countertop and extra storage space a vanity can provide, a sink, usually of vitreous china, can be dropped in.
Undermount models attach to the underside of the counter; self-rimming sinks with rolled, finished edges rest on top of the counter. (A 1950s-era sink with a stainless-steel rim is less prevalent and harder to keep clean.) Undermount and self-rimming models may be mounted onto virtually any type of counter: ceramic tile, marble, or even marine-finished wood.
The latest look in self-rimming sinks is a simple bowl in hammered metal, art glass, water-resistant wood, or other attractive material that rests entirely above the countertop.
A popular, often economical choice is an integral bowl seamlessly fused to the countertop. This type of sink is usually made of marble composite (cultured marble), solid surfacing, or other synthetic material. Vanity sinks may be any geometric shape, including round and hexagonal; corner sinks are also available. Porcelain fixtures are offered with hand-painted traditional or modern motifs that make them literal works of art.
With all of today's fabulous fashion colors and designs, making a choice is a challenge. Dark colored lavs are dramatic and don't show grime as much as pastel or white lavatories do, but they are easily marked with soap scum and hard-water mineral deposits.
Exotic colors may be enchanting or off-putting to a prospective buyer, especially in the hard-to-remove tub. If you're planning to stay in your home for a long time, you can indulge your personal preferences, but if there's a chance you'll be moving in a few years, think twice. Remember: Classic white, bone, and gray fixtures can be set off by virtually any color in towels, rugs, window treatments, wallcoverings, and accessories.
Fixtures are available in a variety of materials. Vitreous china is a classically beautiful choice for all fixtures. Porcelainized cast iron is an option for sinks, shower stalls, and tubs, but it's very heavy, difficult to maneuver into an upstairs bathroom, and just about impossible to remove except with a sledgehammer.
Enameled or porcelainized steel chips and dents more easily than cast iron and doesn't hold heat as well, but it's less expensive and relatively lightweight. For integral sinks and counters, cultured marble made of marble dust in a cast polymer is popular and economical.
Solid-surfacing material made of polyester or acrylic solids is costlier than cultured marble but more long-lasting. Acrylic and fiberglass may be used separately or together; formulations of either may appear as a backing or a surface material.
New synthetics and combinations appear regularly on the marketplace, but china remains the timeless choice at all price points and makes it possible to completely coordinate all of your fixtures.
However, if you are having a special tub or shower constructed rather than using a prefabricated unit, you may have other fixtures made from different materials. While toilets are almost always vitreous china, a sink can be made of wood (finished in tough plastic), stainless steel (look for 18-gauge not 20), or even ceramic tile.
These choices let you coordinate the fixtures' overall color and decorating style for a cohesive look. You can even visit an architectural salvage outlet and scout out pieces, modern as well as vintage, that make your decorating statement. One caution: Buy your fixtures and fittings at the same time to be sure they'll fit each other. You don't want to fall in love with a sink that needs a centerspread faucet after you've bought a widespread model!
Most conventional bathtubs are recessed -- designed to fit into a recess in the bath with three sides hidden by walls and the fourth side an open, finished front.
Recessed tubs are 30 to 33 inches wide and can be anywhere from 42 to 72 inches long, but most are 60 inches. Most recessed bathtubs have the space-saving combination tub/shower, but this style is not the safest.
The smooth, sloping sides of tubs are kind to backsides but treacherous under wet feet, and experts much prefer a separate tub and shower. A short, soaking tub and an angled, corner shower may make this possible even in a skimpy bath.
Other bathtub models include the corner tub, a space-efficient way to provide for a whirlpool; a freestanding tub such as the vintage claw-foot style used to create a nostalgic look; and the platform tub with the exposed side covered in tile or other floor-matching material to give a "sunken-tub" effect.
This last style is at home both in a very modern bath and in a classical bath inspired by ancient Rome.
Whirlpool Tubs
More than any other fixture, the whirlpool tub symbolizes the luxurious new style of baths since the late 1980s. Many whirlpool tubs are 435 feet, and some are much larger, but if you need to keep your existing bath footprint, scout out one that's 5 feet long but as narrow as a standard-size bathtub.
If you can change the footprint but not the overall square footage of your bath, look for a whirlpool tub/shower combo or, better yet, a corner whirlpool and an angled shower.
Whirlpool tubs are usually either top-of-the-line cast iron or somewhat less costly acrylic and composites. They are most often recessed or, especially if they're large, built into platforms.
Many of the early designs featured steps up to the tub without a handrail. Nowadays, this extremely dangerous design is avoided in favor of steps with a decorative, secure handrail or a higher, wide platform that allows bathers to sit on the edge of the whirlpool and swing their legs in. Also for safety's sake, make sure your design lets you reach the controls from outside the tub.
Another safety issue your installer will need to address is the weight problem (not yours -- the whirlpool's!). Many homes' structures can't take the huge added weight of a whirlpool tub, the large volume of water, and the people using it, especially on the second floor, so additional shoring up will be necessary. Don't skip this step: You don't want to end up in the living room in your birthday suit!
For hydrotherapy value, give a tub a "dry run" before buying it to be sure water jets are positioned comfortably for you. Look for jets that let you adjust the proportion of air and water (more air means a more vigorous massage) and the stream's direction.
Think twice about a giant tub for two: You may prefer to spend the money and floor space on other amenities unless you're among those rare couples who actually have the time to enjoy the tub together.
Whirlpool amenities include an in-line heater to maintain warmth without "topping off" the water, two-speed motors, touch-pad controls, and more. A handheld shower extension in the whirlpool tub is an option but requires awkward, one-handed hair washing, so most people add a separate shower.
At the very least, you'll need a 36,336-inch space for a stall shower. It may be built in with only the slightest slope of the floor toward the drain, eliminating the need for a shower door, or you may opt for swing-out doors.
With controls set into the wall, even a conventional tub/shower can offer the latest showering amenities. Modular shower systems are available that let you customize them with a choice of different shower floors, walls, and fittings. For example, multiple showerheads are great, and if you can install them into opposite walls, even an ordinary 60-inch tub can be a shower for two.
A handheld showerhead with a wall-mounted pole that offers various height stations is great for kids or the disabled.
Typically made of vitreous china, toilets are available in several basic styles. The old-fashioned two-piece style with a round bowl mounted to the floor and a tank very high on the wall is available from a few manufacturers for nostalgic settings. The more familiar, traditional "close-coupled" model has a separate water tank mounted on a round bowl.
The contemporary one-piece model, or "low boy," features a tank and bowl in one piece. If you've got the room, a sophisticated alternative is an elongated bowl, about two inches longer than the standard model in front. It's available in either two-piece or one-piece designs. For tall or older people, models with bowls 18 inches from the floor are more comfortable than the standard 14 1/2 to 15 inches. These usually come in two-piece units.
You may also choose between "gravity-assist" and "pressure-assist" models in any style. Toilets produced since January 1, 1994, are mandated by U.S. law to use no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. (Older models use 3.5 to 10 gallons per flush.)
Opinions on this mandate vary. Reducing the amount of water used conserves water and eases the burden on sewage-treatment plants, but consumers find that some models, including many of the low-priced and midpriced models that rely solely on gravity assistance, don't do the job with one flush.
To aid flushing, the new gravity-assist models of the two-piece variety are taller and slimmer than in the past and have steeper bowls.
Some homeowners have gone to the length of buying "bootleg" 3.5-gallon toilets in Canada, and some plumbing professionals have even expressed concern about potential public health dangers caused by inadequate flushing.
While the jury is still out, other consumers have elected to purchase pressure-assist toilets with water velocity boosted by compressed air. They're noisier and costlier than gravity-assist models but are considered by many to be more effective at disposing of waste.
Whatever kind of unit you choose, keep dental floss, feminine hygiene products, paper towels, baby wipes, and facial tissue out of the toilet; unlike bathroom tissue, they really aren't made to be flushed, no matter what the labels say.
To save the most money on a toilet, choose a basic gravity-assist two-piece model in white (sometimes available at the same cost in almond or gray), and keep a good toilet brush nearby.
More effective pressure-assist flushing mechanisms, more color options, one-piece styling, elongated bowls, and 18-inch-tall bowls all add to the cost, so prioritize what matters most to you. At the high end, you'll find more designer color choices (including deep tones), pressure-assist flushing, and elongated bowls as standard; specially decorated motifs as part of a fixture suite; choices of handles in different materials and finishes; and unobtrusive push buttons on top of the tank.
Toilets can be had very economically, but if you're just redecorating and the toilet is in good shape, an attractive new wood or plastic toilet seat can make the whole fixture look almost new for just a few dollars. In a chilly house, some people swear by padded toilet seats, but skip those with embroidered butterflies or anything fussy. They're as un-chic as fluffy toilet tank covers.
Europeans consider the bidet ("bee-DAY"), a sit-down washbasin, a basic necessity for personal hygiene; for Americans, its function is often filled by frequent full-body baths and handheld showers. In the '80s, a bidet became a status element of the new, large American luxury bathroom, and today, most high-end bath fixture suites include a bidet, as do many midpriced suites.
Looking somewhat like a toilet without a lid, a bidet requires its own water supply and drain and is usually installed along the same wall as the toilet, 30 to 44 inches away.
Steam Showers and Saunas
Whether you like the high humidity of steam or the dry heat of a sauna, you can create a health club at home with one or both of these fixtures. A steam shower is easier: Install a self-contained unit, or convert your existing shower into a steam room.
New shower modules with steam units often come with a lighted dome top, a timer, and a seat. If you convert an existing shower, make sure the door seals entirely before installing a steam generator, and if you have solid-surfacing or acrylic shower walls, make sure they won't be marred by the steam.
You can tuck the machinery out of sight in a vanity.
To experience the dry heat of a sauna at home, you'll need a space at least 434 feet to create an enclosure that houses an electric heater topped with rocks (preferably igneous periodite).
Water is ladled onto the hot rocks to produce humidity (but not steam), and soft, aromatic woods such as cedar or redwood are used for the walls and benches. Saunas are available in precut and prefab kits. Steam showers and saunas are not recommended for kids, pregnant women, or anyone with high blood pressure or heart trouble.
Now that you know all about the available fixtures, you can begin to think about which ones are appropriate in your bathroom. On the next page, find the right fittings.

Welcome to Avon Car Leasing. We are a family owned and run business with over 30 years experience. We strive to find the markets Avon Car and van leasing offers and bring them to you.
We advertise "honest rates" which means no unreasonable low mileages or huge first payment, and whilst we can nearly always match the rates in the market that are based on those terms, most customers do a lot more than 5,000 miles a year and do not really want to put down 12 months rentals as the first payment.
Therefore, we believe our website gives you proper prices, and no "from" prices, and most definitely no fees that will not be returned if you choose to cancel.
We believe in treating all our customers just the way we would like to be treated ourselves and with a wealth of experience in the industry we are able to offer the best prices, along with the best service, just car leasing made simple.
Leasing a car is an arrangement where you can hire a vehicle for a specified period and pre-decided mileage by paying a monthly instalment (rental) to the leasing company who owns the car.
It provides you with hassle-free motoring for a fixed monthly fee, on a brand-new vehicle that's delivered to your door. The road tax is renewed on each anniversary of the car lease, free of charge, and at the end of the lease you hand the car back with no balloon payment or need to onward sell, which is why it's a very cost-effective way to have a new vehicle.
If you're on the hunt for a new car, it can be hard to know which of the various options is best for you. Leasing or buying—which is better?
Isn't it always better to be an owner? The answer, according to oil baron Paul Getty, is:
All cars depreciate (new cars more than used), so if you are doing a cost comparison you really need to take into account the cost of finance, depreciation, maintenance, tax, costs to onward-sell the vehicle, etc, against a fixed monthly fee in leasing. When leasing you are just paying for the use of the vehicle through the first phase of the car's life.
If you've got the cash, you could always buy a new car outright, and if you intend to keep the vehicle for 5 years or longer, then leasing may not be the best option for you. But don't forget; if you are doing a like-for-like cost comparison on a new car, once the car is 3 years old, the maintenance costs rise steeply.
The main reason leasing is cheaper than buying is that the manufacturer gives very large discounts to car-leasing providers and brokers like Leaseline. In many cases, the cars returned to the manufacturer dealer become good used car stock for their forecourts. The value stays in the car throughout the lease, which makes a good profit centre for the next part of the car's journey.
Buying cars on finance means you can own the model you want by making a series of monthly repayments, but since car leasing has cheaper monthly payments, you can opt for the same car for a lot less, or even the next model up for your budget.
There are two main types of car leasing referred to as Business Contract Hire (BCH) and Personal Contract Hire (PCH) Personal Contract Hire is always displayed including VAT, as opposed to Business Contract Hire which is always displayed without VAT. Business users still have to pay VAT, but some can reclaim part or all of the VAT. This kind of long-term rental plan gives you an opportunity to drive the model you want without ever actually owning it.
• Lower monthly payments compared with buying.
• Minimal hassle, with the opportunity to drive away without thinking about reselling or warranties.
• You are always driving around in the latest model vehicle.
• You won't be able to buy the car once your plan ends.
• Comprehensive car insurance isn't covered by your contract, so you'll need to arrange this separately.
• A rough mileage estimate will need to be agreed at the start, and you may have to pay extra if you surpass this limit.
• If you want to own the car at the end, car finance deals are the more affordable path to take. As with private car leasing, you'll be required to make a number of monthly payments over a pre-agreed period, but with a finance deal you'll have the chance to buy the car outright once your full term is complete.
A hire purchase agreement involves an initial deposit, followed by a series of monthly payments, through which you pay off the total value of the car in question. After your repayment period comes to an end, you officially own the vehicle.
There are some cons of going down the Hire Purchase route. Since you're paying off the total value of the vehicle, monthly repayments will likely be higher than the alternatives. In addition, unless your car finance agreement has been settled, you won't be in a position to sell the car on Personal Contract Purchase (PCP). PCP car finance is similar in ways to a Hire Purchase agreement; it consists of an initial up-front payment, followed by a period of fixed monthly instalments. In this way, you're paying off the car's depreciation rather than its total value. With PCP car deals, your car's Guaranteed Future Value (GFV) is roughly calculated, meaning that you're paying off the difference between its current and future value. These car finance deals generally mean lower monthly repayments – but there's a trade-off, in that you'll need to make one final balloon payment at the end in order to own the car outright. Alternatively, you can choose not to pay this and simply return the vehicle.
Whether you're on the hunt for the Avon Car leasing deals or prefer the sound of PCP car finance, the key is to find an agreement that suits your circumstances. From monthly repayments to opportunities for car ownership, there are a number of factors to consider before making your decision. It all depends on what you're looking for in the long term. For access to the Avon Car finance deals, contact Leaseline The Vehicle Leasing Specialists team. Our experts are fully versed in the finer details of each option and can help you make an informed decision today, with applications usually approved in 60 minutes or less.
Leasing a car is nothing more than a method of paying for the use of a car or van over a specified period of time. It may sound like daily rental, but don't get the two confused because they are very different. While you can hire a car for as little as a day, or even a few hours, leasing typically starts at 24 months and doesn't provide for easy termination or vehicle swapping. Leasing a car is a form of vehicle financing, but hiring is not.
The broker works out the terms of the leasing agreement with you on behalf of the car lease company. For this service, the leasing company usually pays him a commission. Once the contract is approved and signed, your relationship is with the leasing company, not the broker, but we enter into an agent agreement with the leasing company and will assist you in many issues you may have throughout the contract term.
Leasing companies used by brokers can be subsidiaries of the car manufacturer (called "captive" leasing companies), such as Business Partner for Ford or VW Financial Services for Volkswagen. However, brokers can also offer leases from large banks and other lending institutions with whom they've worked out business relationships.
Many years ago it was possible for consumers to bypass brokers and independently arrange car leases with banks and leasing companies. Since the financial "crash" of 2008–2009, it has become almost impossible to do so. Nearly all leases are arranged through car leasing brokers.
First, you decide on the car you want and contact the broker. The broker will calculate your monthly payment based on the negotiated price and other non-negotiable factors (such as finance rate) that are provided by the lease company. You may lower your monthly payment by making a larger first payment if you choose. Your payment will also be subject to VAT.
At the time you sign your car lease contract, you will be required to pay your first month's payment, as well as any VAT. Some leases may require an up-front security deposit that goes towards your first payment if the vehicle has to be ordered.
Signing a car lease contract means that you agree to make regular monthly payments, maintain your vehicle, keep appropriate car insurance, and pay any speeding or parking fines. Further, you agree that you'll keep the car for a specified number of months — typically 24, 36, or 48 months — and you're expected to keep the car to the end of the contract term.
When you lease a car, you are responsible for all maintenance, service and insurance, just as you would be if you owned the car, unless you take a car lease including these optional items.
At the end of a lease you're expected to return your vehicle to the car leasing company with no more than normal wear and tear. You'll have to pay for any damage or extra mileage over and above your contract-specified limits. This is regulated by our industries BVRLA
You have the option to replace the vehicle with a brand new one, in some cases you can purchase your vehicle usually at a price between trade and retail, Otherwise, you can simply return the vehicle to the leasing company and walk away.
Making the best decision about what to do with your vehicle at lease-end — returning it to the leasing company, buying it, or extending your lease — requires that you look at each option carefully and evaluate.
For anyone thinking about leasing a car, it's very important to understand what leasing is (and what it is not) and how it works. If you have any questions, no matter how small, just give us a call at Leaseline.

ORGANIZER: Venterra Realty - 2012
EVENT DATE: Oct 06, 2012
Venterra Realty wrote -
Venterra is proud to be a supporter of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation!
The Susan G. Komen was founded on a promise made between two sisters – Susan Goodman Komen and Nancy Goodman Brinker. Susan was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1978, a time when little was known about the disease and it was rarely discussed in public. Before she died at the age of thirty-six, Susan asked her sister to do everything possible to bring an end to breast cancer. Nancy kept her promise by establishing the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in 1982 in Susan's memory. Today, Komen for the Cure is the world's largest network of breast cancer survivors and activists fighting to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.
Venterra recognizes the challenges that each person must face when being affected by breast cancer. It is our hope that your support and participation will not only raise awareness about the importance of early detection and early treatment, but also end breast cancer forever. The Venterra team is proud to support a cause that affects not just those diagnosed with breast cancer but those who love them as well.
We hope that you too, will join Venterra in our fight to find a cure.

Canadian animation director Caleb Hystad made this short animated He-Man clip, and said "You may ask why I have done this thing, but I ask why no one else has."
Pretty much.
While the clip simply recreates the classic series' opening credits, I can't help but think a game that looked like this, and not the recent phone game's efforts, would have been a little cooler.

Business Challenge
BMC was preparing to launch its new employee portal, BMC Digital Workplace built on the SharePoint platform, which promised a more intuitive and organized user experience. BMC IT was up against a hard deadline, the annual Sales Kickoff event, where the new portal would be prominently showcased. Initial performance testing resulted in an average homepage response time of an agonizing 61.6 seconds. These poor results magnified issues that needed to be addressed immediately.
BMC Solution
BMC IT used TrueSight App Visibility to learn the latency of the different web page components to get a clearer picture of the projected user experience. The latency data allowed them to diagnose problems within the code. Monitoring was installed on web servers and data collection began almost immediately. Within 24 hours, IT had the breadth of data required for intelligent analysis and triage.
Business Impact
With the data from BMC IT and TrueSight App Visibility, the developers were able to troubleshoot the problems with the following results:
- Reduced homepage loading time from 61 seconds to 5 seconds
- Deployed in 3 weeks, just in time for the Sales Kickoff
- Automated fixes to ensure speed in testing for future changes
TrueSight provided the critical bridges between the quality assurance, central IT, app development, and network teams. It made possible a new troubleshooting process that provides the QA team a self-service mechanism to optimize applications. TrueSight is now used for monitoring and debugging activities on the app server side for all performance testing projects in BMC IT.
"We needed a solution to provide rapid feedback to the development team with sufficient specificity to allow quick root cause triage and resolution. By using TrueSight App Visibility, we were able to build an end-to-end picture and quickly understand where to prioritize our efforts."— David Riggan, Sr. Director of Solutions Delivery, BMC

While payers and providers have traditionally worked in separate worlds, integrating operations can lead to more profitable operations and better patient outcomes.
New reimbursement models, along with the rise of accountable care, bundled payments, and vertical integration are driving the need for increased collaboration between payers and providers. The integration of payer and provider systems is one of the most dynamic and interesting segments of the health care market today.
Some payers are acquiring their own hospitals, while providers are adopting their own insurance models.and increase focus on therapies that deliver better health outcomes.

Fines issued by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority increased significantly in 2011, jumping 51% to $68 million from fines levied by the regulator in 2010, which amounted to $48 million, according to Sutherland Asbill & Brennan's annual FINRA Sanctions Survey, released Monday.
FINRA also filed 1,488 disciplinary actions in 2011, a considerable increase from the 1,310 cases it initiated in 2010.
"While the $68 million reported in 2011 is still a far cry from the $184 million and $111 million that FINRA fined firms and representatives in 2005 and 2006, respectively, it may signal continued enforcement efforts for the near future," said Brian Rubin, Deborah Heilizer, and Andrew McCormick, the Sutherland attorneys who conducted the survey.
More reps were also barred by FINRA last year than in 2010: 329 last year versus 288 in 2010, an increase of more than 14%.
Sutherland's survey also includes a list of "trends" that the law firm believes FINRA will be focusing on in 2012, which AdvisorOne will review later this week.
In the Sutherland survey, here are the top five enforcement issues for FINRA in 2011 ranked by total amount of fines:
5) Improper Form U4, U5, and Rule 307 ($6.6 million)
These incorrect filings resulted in 91 FINRA disciplinary actions and more than $6.6 million in reported fines in 2011 (compared to 67 cases and fines of $1.45 million in 2010). Although allegations concerning isolated problems with these regulatory filings often led to fines of $5,000 to $10,000, there were four 2011 cases where each firm was fined more than $600,000 for failing to report material information on Forms U4 and U5, including Securities and Exchange Commission investigations and customer settlements.
4) Suitability ($7.7 million)
Suitibility cases resulted in $7.7 million in reported fines in 2011. The 106 cases that involved suitability allegations in 2011 doubled the 53 cases reported in both 2009 and 2010. Similarly, the fines reported in suitability cases jumped from $3.75 million in 2010 to $7.7 million in 2011, a 105% increase.
3) Auction Rate Securities ($10 million)
ARS' continued to be an important focus for FINRA in 2011, as seven such cases resulted in nearly $10 million in fines. This was a substantial increase from 2010 when two ARS cases were reported that resulted in $1.75 million in total fines. Most of the 2011 cases concerned the alleged failure to disclose material facts to investors, often in advertising materials.
2) Short Selling ($16.8 million)
Cases of short selling were the second biggest enforcement issue reported by FINRA in 2011, generating $16.8 million in fines. The 2011 fines for short selling represent a more than fourfold increase compared with the fines reported in 2010. This substantial increase was largely driven by a single $12 million fine imposed on a firm that was accused of violating Regulation SHO by failing to properly supervise millions of short sale orders that were mismarked and placed to the market without reasonable grounds to believe that the securities could be borrowed.
1) Advertising ($21.1 million)
Sanctions for advertising jumped from $4.75 million in 2010 to $21.1 million in 2011. The number of cases involving alleged advertising violations doubled in number to 45 in 2011. In 2010, advertising cases ranked first, although fines dropped to $4.75 million. In last year's analysis, Sutherland predicted that FINRA would continue placing greater emphasis on advertising materials. This prediction proved to be correct in 2011, as advertising cases resulted in fines totaling $21.1 million, an increase of 344% compared with 2010.
As in 2009 and 2010, a significant amount of the 2011 advertising fines ($9.5 million) related to the sale of auction rate securities. In addition, nearly $8 million in fines stemmed from nine cases involving the use of allegedly misleading advertising materials on firm websites available to investors. This included advertisements for complex products, such as Auction Rate Securities, and for more traditional investments like annuities.

Today was another one of those busy days where I spent more time at the doctor's office than I have at home. lol But...strangely....the appointments went fairly well. My doctor kind of got onto me, because I haven't had my pre-op with the anesthesiologist yet, and pretty much ordered me to get it done by my next appointment (yippee *sarcasm*), but other than that it was ok.
And, of course we got another ultrasound! They did some of the routine measuring again, but NOTHING like last time where I was on the table for an hour. lol He's now in the breech position, but that's totally normal. Babies flip constantly, but they said as long as he's head down by 34-36 weeks, then he'll be ok. He's measuring pretty normal too, which means the single umbilical artery isn't slowing his growth down. :-) Also, he weighs about 3 1/2 lbs about now, but considering Dean weighed almost 10 lbs at birth, he's going to start gaining a LOT of weight pretty quickly! lol I'm just hoping he doesn't turn out as big as his daddy was! lol
We also got a pretty cute picture of his face in profile. He was playing with his hands, but it's kind of hard to see that on there, but you can also see his knee folded towards his face and a piece of the umbilical cord as well. :-) My scanner is still busted, but as soon as I can make my way over to my mom's, I'll post it. :-)

*Disclaimer* Content herewithin may be hazardous to your sanity
Yeah, so you read the disclaimer, right?? Just to prepare you a little...this is just one of these days where I need to Vent...with a capital V. Probably just hormones, but if I don't get some of this off my chest, I may never again retain the ability to breathe.
Let's just start off with a positive first. Easter was great! :-) My little man is SUCH a natural egg-hunter! This is the first year we started that with him, and I was kind of worried that he wouldn't have a clue what he was supposed to do, but all I had to do is tell him to go find some eggs. The first one was right in his face, so of course he found that one right away! After that, he GOT IT. I think he found all the eggs within 1 minute FLAT. So not kidding. lol
Now...on to the Venting! Now that I'm actually putting it into words, I'm not quite sure where to start. If it sounds a bit rambling at times, sorry. lol It's kind of been a back-up of things for a while. I'm already hormonal and emotional. Constantly being worried about a high-risk pregnancy and what's going to happen next has stressed me out beyond belief. Some days I really think that my nerves have finally frayed to the breaking point. But somehow, I keep going. After all, I'm a mom. I'm needed, therefore not allowed to break down. Add all the normal hormones on top of that, and I constantly feel like I'm about to break into tears. And I have...several times. Usually at the office, lol. Only once or twice in front of Dalton. lol But it's hard to have to hold back emotion...you know, it makes it hard to breathe, your chest burns, your eyes water up...yeah..not a pretty sight I'm sure.
Secondly, I know Dean tries his best...but let's face it: He's male. He fucks things up. And of course, he looks at me like a bug on the bottom of my shoe when I get all emotional and tell him he fucked up. lol Is it SOOOOOOOOO hard to ask that he be able to understand that I just need him to BE THERE sometimes??? I just don't feel like he understands, even slightly, what I am going through. Now that he's working nights, I barely see him, and I feel like I'm going through everything alone. Ack...now look at me. I'm crying again.
Of course, everybody knows the crap I'm going through with my doctors. It's not AS bad now that they've split me into seeing like 8 different doctors, and I think my OB finally started taking me seriously once I had to make that midnight-ish visit to labor and delivery. But it's a scary feeling to feel like the people responsible for your baby's health and potential safe delivery are royal-ass retards! I feel like I know more than they do. That's kind of sad. I'm sure I don't; I'm not a doctor after all, but it's still hard to trust in someone you think is incredibly stupid and who does not LISTEN to you.
Yes, I've tried to find a new doctor. Unfortunately, I am currently on Medicaid since pre-existing spinal conditions make finding and affording private insurance almost impossible. Not all doctors accept that to start with....especially private doctors. They treat you like the lowest life-form if you even dare to ask. Not to mention, I don't really want to lost my referrals to see the pain management and spine doctors they sent me to. I actually do LOVE them. But, unfortunately, they're not in the baby-birthing business. lol
There's always the feeling that something's ELSE is going to happen. And it usually does. I try not to be fatalist, but I know my body, I know what the hazards were before I got pregnant. Of course, we were thrown a few curveballs we didn't expect at all, but my major concerns to start with were all related to my spine. I was quite shocked that up until now, I hadn't had any MAJOR problems with it. My orthopedic doc told me I had some unexplained numbness in my left hand the last time I saw him, so I was kind of preparing to have some issues with it now that I'm in the last trimester.
So, it really didn't surprise me when last Friday I started having some really ri-DONK-ulous pain across my lower back and hips and down my legs. When it didn't let up by Monday, I called the spine clinic and my pain management doc. Of course, neither called me back until today...but that's to be expected... They think pretty much what I did. Either I pinched a nerve, in which case it should get better with rest. Or (the worst of the 2) that my spine is swollen..again...and my herniated disk is putting pressure (or cutting off) the nerves to my legs. They said that with my spinal history, the 2nd option is most likely. And...of COURSE, since I'm prego...there's absolutely nothing they can do. Basically, they told me I'm doing too much, and if it gets worse they'll put me back on bedrest...I'm assuming to prevent my swollen spine from doing more damage...who knows.
So, even after all that, I get a call a little bit ago from my OB, who (apparently, conferring with the other 2 docs) seems to think that I'm asking for some kind of treatment...I'm not quite sure...the first words out of her mouth were, "You know we can't give you anything." I pretty much told her that I didn't ask. And considering every time I call HER office, I get the runaround about how they don't specialize in spines, or pain, or whatever the hell it is at the time. So, I stop calling her, and I call the doctor who DOES deal with it. Sheesh. All I wanted to know was if I needed to make an appointment to see the pain management doc or the spine doc...to CHECK and make sure nothing was a danger to my baby. Sheesh.
And NOW, I find out that higher-ups are whining because I'm not able to work full-time (because of the pain and medical crap...not because I choose to) and they had to hire another girl as well as pay me part-time. So, as of next week, I'm pretty much out of a job...Oh sure, Dot insists that when I come back after having the baby, I'll still have a job, but I'm not stupid. I'm SELF-employed..as in "contract" worker. The girl she hired is on payroll. There is no way she's going to risk getting sued by getting rid of the other girl when she has no legal obligations to me. Ughh. It doesn't matter that I'm the better person (no, I'm not trying to be snobby), but I HAVE been with the company for 8 years. I AM a top recruiter, and I know it. It just sucks, because I can't do anything about it.
And of course, Dot WAS the one throwing my baby shower. Looks like that's not happening now. :-( :-(
So, to sum it up....I'm hormonal and emotional, Dean doesn't seem to care or appreciate what I'm going through, my doctors are retards, I'm in ridiculous, constant pain, my doctors tell me I'm doing too much, and my work says I'm not doing enough, and now I'm basically on forced bed rest. Probably good for the baby and my body. Sucky for finances and job security. So, I'm feeling REALLY REALLY overwhelmed. It's like the world really IS out to get me. lol

Hormonal Overload
Yep. Just as the title says, I am in hormonal overload. lol The smallest thing goes wrong, I freak out...i.e.: We're out of milk. My reaction, "Oh my God, Dean's out of town, I can't carry it, my child is going to go thirsty and die of malnutrition." Seriously. lol Any time I get mad you would think that World War III is starting. I think Dean is learning my moods and disappears anytime I show an inclination of anger. lol
And of course, I can't watch a commercial without crying. It doesn't even matter what kind of commercial it is. It could be a dog food commercial, and my brain would decide that the actors didn't put enough food in the bowl, and seeing as how the dog is swallowing it whole, then it's quite obvious that they don't feed it enough...That's my brain process...seriously. Sad, I know.
And FORGET watching the news. Any kind of story about children getting hurt (which happens WAY too often nowadays), and I bawl my eyes out for hours. I just can't believe how cruel parents can be to their own children. I don't understand it anyways, but to add hormones on top just makes it unbearable.
Movies are off limits too. I either laugh hysterically LONG after the funny part is over, or I bawl like a baby, because it was just soooooooooooooooo sweet how Male Actor wooed Female Actor. I don't even attempt to watch movies that I know are going to be sad. There's no use putting myself through that! lol I think I would have a meltdown and you'd have to come visit me in the nearest nuthouse. lol
And, lately, I can't look at anyone else's baby! I know! Crazy, right?? It's just that I get jealous that they have their little one to hold already, and I'm still waiting on mine. And I start crying for no reason too, which tends to freak out new moms...I mean, come on! Who is this weird chick crying over my baby!?? lol
So, with all this emotional crap, I've decided that I want to live in a bubble. lol Nothing going out, no outside influence coming in. lol *Sigh* If only I actually HAD that option!
On an up note though, Dalton's 4th birthday is Monday, so I'm totally excited about going to get his cake and birthday present this weekend! But I already know I'm going to cry half a dozen times anyways....can't find a parking space, too many people, the grocery cart has a squeaky wheel, the cake only comes in one flavor....you know, something is gonna trigger the hormones!! Not to mention, just THINKING about him turning 4 makes me emotional!
Ughh...see...now I'm crying again, and Dalton is looking at me like I've gone nuts!

IT'S A GIRL! and we are so thrilled and excited! I can't hide my joy!
You might have noticed that I've already started pinning stuff for the little baby girl...
There's a lot of planning yet ahead and I can hardly wait to start decorating her room ♥.
I am now 23 weeks pregnant and I can't believe how fast time has passed. It's great to be able to feel her moving in there now and I just pray she'll be ok and healthy.

Little baby girl, we love you so much already

Trans fat is a type of dietary fat that raises low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol. Saturated fat and dietary cholesterol also raise LDL. Because of this, all three types of fat can boost your risk for heart disease.
All fats are not equal
Fat, as essential fatty acids, is needed in the body as a source of energy and to help absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K, the FDA says. Fat is important for proper growth and development, as well as to maintain good health. Fat makes food taste good, gives it consistency, and makes you feel full. All this is true when fat is eaten in moderation.
The kind of fat you eat is important. Fat can come from plant or animal sources. Unsaturated fats—monounsaturated and polyunsaturated—come from plant sources and are beneficial when eaten in moderation. Saturated fat and trans fat are not beneficial and should be limited in the diet. You should also limit the amount of dietary cholesterol that you eat.
Trans fat is found in red meat and milk products, but most trans fat comes from processed food products. Trans fats are created when vegetable oil such as soybean or cottonseed has hydrogen atoms added to transform the oil from a liquid into a solid. This process, called hydrogenation, is used most commonly in the manufacture of margarine or shortening. Trans fats provide no known health benefit. Their main function is to give food products a creamy consistency or crispy texture and to increase a product's shelf life.
The biggest problem with trans fats is that they increase the risk for heart disease in two ways. They (1) boost levels of LDL cholesterol while, (2) lowering high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or "good" cholesterol. Overall, a report by the National Academy of Sciences concluded that there is no safe level of either trans fatty acids or saturated fat, and that people should limit their intake of them while consuming a nutritionally adequate diet.
Taking out trans
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping your consumption of trans fats as low as possible. The American Heart Association's dietary guidelines recommend that less than 1 percent of your total daily caloric intake come from trans fats. You should also continue to limit saturated fat and dietary cholesterol.
Read the labels
Look for shortening or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil on the ingredient list. Either of these ingredients is a signal that trans fats are present. The closer to the top these ingredients appear, and the more total fat listed, the more trans fat the product contains.
Be aware that products can still make claims such as "low in saturated fat" and "extra lean" and still contain trans fat. The words trans fat free (listed under "saturated fat" on the Nutrition Facts label) mean the product contains less than 0.5 gram of trans fat per serving.
Products in which you're apt to spot partially hydrogenated oil on the Nutrition Facts label and ingredients panel include frozen french fries, ready-made cookies, crackers, doughnuts, frostings, muffins, pastries, and cakes, as well as all deep-fried foods.
But they also can be found in foods where you might not expect them, such as waffles and energy and nutrition bars.
Make it homemade
Bake your own cookies, cakes, and breads instead of buying them. Prepare them with olive or canola oil or butter instead of margarine, which contains trans fat.
Be careful when you eat out
Trans fat is found in many foods offered at fast-food restaurants, where many of the foods are deep-fried. To reduce your intake, avoid deep-fried foods, such as french fries and fried chicken and fish, and deep-fried Mexican dishes, such as chimichangas and flautas.
Cook healthier at home
Use nonstick frying pans and add a little olive oil instead of lard, butter, or margarine when sautéing. Or, use a nonstick vegetable oil spray, which has few calories. Bake, roast, and steam foods instead of deep-frying or pan-frying.
Choose healthier fats
You can improve your health by lowering your intake of trans fat and saturated fat; replace them with polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats are found in vegetable and fish oil, and monounsaturated fats are in olive, canola, and peanut oils.
If you use margarine, choose brands that contain no trans fat.
Remember that not all trans fat comes from hydrogenated vegetable oil. It also is found in meat. To lower your intake, eat three or fewer servings of lean red meat per week.
How much trans fat?
Here are some examples of trans fat and saturated fat found in common foods.
Fast-food french fries (medium order)
Saturated fat: 3 grams
Trans fat: 0 grams
Butter (1 tablespoon)
Saturated fat: 7 grams
Trans fat: 0 grams
Stick margarine (1 tablespoon)
Saturated fat: 2 grams
Trans fat: 3 grams
Tub margarine (1 tablespoon)
Saturated fat: 1 gram
Trans fat: 0.5 gram
Potato chips (small bag)
Saturated fat: 2 grams
Trans fat: 0 grams
Doughnut (1)
Saturated fat: 5 grams
Trans fat: 0 grams
Candy bar (1)
Saturated fat: 5 grams
Trans fat: 0 grams

Dennis Kucinich isn't a socialist and doesn't claim to be one, but his position on Libya is more sensible and also more in keeping with socialist activism than the kind of argument we have heard, and are still hearing sometimes, from all too many US and other socialists about the Libyan debacle ("revolution" in their lingo). The way the US government went to war against Libya was undemocratic and is now illegal too, and that's the point that Kucinich is focusing on, unlike those socialists who think that democracy begins with uncritical support for other people's rebellions far from home, regardless of the political character of their leadership.
Kucinich's resolution got voted down 148-265. It's noteworthy, though, that more Republicans (87) than Democrats (61) voted for his resolution, too, not just John Boehner's counter-resolution (presented to weaken support for Kucinich's) which only criticized the POTUS without committing the USG to withdrawing troops from the Libya war.
It all says a lot about the state of the left-of-center side of US politics, from Trotskyists to Democrats.

My cousin is in town so we went out last night and I had a pretty good time. But as of right now 8:48am I'm feeling pretty good to play today. I may have some girlfriend (soon to be ex) drama later today, hopefully it doesn't throw me completely off my game.
Anyway I'm feeling pretty optimistic so i figure i will play up to 5% of my Stars Bankroll in tournaments today;
$22 20K Guaranteed @ 12n
$11 Daily 15 Grand @ 2:05pm
$11 Sunday Hundred @ 3:30pm??
$27.50 25K Guaranteed @ 8:00pm
$55 50K Guaranteed @ 9:30pm
Well thats close to 5%. Obviously if i go deep in any of the earlier tournys then i may not play the later set. I'm not sure if i really want to play the large field Sunday Hundred today... but its pretty soft, so we'll see what happens.
wish me luck!

The History of Arnold Toynbee
The following essay was given as an address accepting The Toynbee Prize for 1988–1989 at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, on November 13, 1988.
I knew Arnold Toynbee only slightly, many years ago, when he was a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Studies; but I then knew very little about his work. I had just come from twenty-six years in the American Foreign Service, where one read a great many other things but very little, I am afraid, about the history of ancient civilizations. I am sure that of all my colleagues at this institution I am still the one who is least erudite in many of the things that Toynbee was erudite in.
When one today talks about this man, one has first to make it clear which of two things one is talking about. One is the popular image that was at one time formed of him in this country. The other is what he really was and did. Living now in an age when, and in a country where, the image is valued so much more highly than the reality, we are all, I am sure, well aware of the distinction between the two.
As a curious illustration of what the image was, as distinct from the reality, I might begin by quoting the first introductory sentences of an elaborate eleven-page article about Toynbee that appeared in one issue of Life magazine just forty years ago, in 1948. "A spare, blue-eyed Englishman named Arnold J. Toynbee was scheduled to arrive in the U.S. this week. He was headed for the Institute for Advanced Study…at Princeton, where he will resume work on one of the most ambitious chores the human brain has ever undertaken, his monumental A Study of History."
Actually the work of the Time-Life concern in vulgarizing Toynbee's image in this country had been undertaken more than a year earlier, in March 1947, when Toynbee's picture appeared on the cover of Time magazine, followed by the usual explanatory article in the pages of the same issue. And to explain Time-Life's interest, one has to note the coming together of several apparently quite disparate factors.
Nearly a decade earlier than that date, just before the Second World War, Toynbee had completed the first six volumes of what was to become, many years later, his twelve-volume work A Study of History. In these volumes Toynbee had analyzed the dynamics of growth and decay in some twenty-one civilizations, ancient and modern; and he believed himself to have discovered in these phenomena certain patterns of development common to all civilizations, including, albeit with certain reservations, our own.
Some ten years later, in 1947, when the Time article appeared, there could have been very few people in this country who had read anything of Toynbee's six volumes. These were not exactly light summer reading. The war had intervened.…
