Holmes Report 05 May 2012 // 11:00PM GMT
Investor relations in companies across Europe report that the rate of growth in sell-side analyst coverage has fallen. While 48 percent of respondents to the fourth annual IR survey conducted by Citigate Dewe Rogerson say analyst coverage had increased over the past year, that represents a sizeable fall from 65 percent in 2011.
The impact is most keenly felt by smaller companies. Only 57 percent of companies with a market value below £500m are happy with the level of coverage they receive, compared to 67 percent last year. This contrasts with 80 percent of companies, with a market value over £5bn, that are happy with the level of coverage.
Interestingly, while smaller companies are concerned about the levels of sell-side coverage fall, around a third of those companies polled with a market value of less than £500 million said that the quality of coverage had improved. This compares to only 15 percent overall.
The firm says the threat from consolidation may have forced small cap analysts to offer better research, although a number of factors make this difficult. According to Sean Bride, author of the report and a consultant in Citigate's IR practice: "Frequency of reporting and pressures on analysts to cover more stocks, gives them less time for more detailed, insightful analysis. It's also possible that some stocks were simply over covered, which is certainly the case for the largest companies".
But just 4 percent of larger companies (more than £10 billion market cap), which can have 30 or more analysts covering them, agreed that there had been an increase in the past year in the quality of research.
In addition, 23 percent of respondents have become more concerned about rumors concerning their company on social media, up from 14 percent last year
The firm sees a growing body of evidence that shows analysts and investors are interrogating new media for new insights. In the pursuit of alpha, investors are starting to scan social media for information from employees, customers and suppliers. Conflicting information from unofficial sources can make life difficult for a company's official sources.
The percentage of respondents that said they are aware of an increase in communication between investors through non-traditional channels of communication, such as LinkedIn and Twitter, was 39 percent, which was broadly in line with last year. Worryingly, the percentage of respondents that do not know increased from 11 percent to 23 percent. This suggests an increase in uncertainty. As non-traditional channels of communication multiply, there is a risk that IROs are being left behind.
More than half (55 percent) of companies cite lack of engagement from shareholders as a barrier to effective corporate governance, up from 41 percent last year.
The finding challenges a preconception held by many that companies prefer to be left alone by investors to manage the business. European companies are focusing on investor engagement and stewardship as the leading factor to improve corporate governance. Stewardship involves a greater expectation for investors to engage in constructive criticism and the strategic direction of the business and generally become more committed to the company. Lack of engagement from shareholders was the biggest barrier to effective corporate governance for the second year running.
Other major barriers highlighted by the survey were:
• Shareholders outsourcing key decisions cited by 35 percent of respondents(28 percent, 2011)
• Lack of feedback from investors cited by 30 percent of respondents (33 percent, 2011)
• Decline of the long term investor cited by 29 percent of respondents (26 percent, 2011)
• Unnecessary regulation cited by 28 percent of respondents(30 percent, 2011)
Says Bride: "The subject of investor engagement and corporate governance tends to be framed by the views of investors and regulators. This survey asked companies what they thought. While policymakers have been pushing for greater engagement from shareholders, it is interesting to see that more companies share this goal. This is the first time that over half of companies have cited lack of engagement as a barrier to effective corporate governance".

PLUB: Don't plug in, PLUB in!
PLUB is the minimalist Bluetooth receiver that makes any wired headphones wireless. The most compact, easy-to-use and affordable Bluetooth receiver invites you to simply PLUB IN!
PLUB is compatible with all headphones that receive audio through a 3.5 mm cable allowing the user to make any currently owned headphone wireless. PLUB distinguishes itself as the most affordable, lightest, and easy-to-use Bluetooth receiver available. PLUB was created using a minimalist approach, stripping the Bluetooth receiver down to only essential functions and essential design.
Despite PLUB's streamlined design, it still delivers incredibly high-end audio quality. Imbedded with a CSR audio system-on-chip (SoC) solution with aptX audio codec, PLUB offers high quality stereo audio over Bluetooth. Less technically stated, PLUB can offer CD quality audio over a Bluetooth connection that is nearly indistinguishable from a wired connection.
PLUB offers no-button control. By simply plugging in, PLUB will turn ON and auto-pair through Bluetooth 4.1 to the nearest smart device. Offering auxiliary device support, necessary adjustments can be made through the existing button control on the connected headphone. Controls supported include volume, play/pause, take call(IOS can be subject to some restrictions) and more. Charging status is indicated through a single white LED. PLUB also will emit sound alerts to indicate pairing, connection, and battery status.
PLUB's unique specifications allow it to be integrated into companion accessories. Currently, boud has announced a neckband accessory that PLUB can be inserted into. Additional companion accessories are currently in development and will be announced in more detail as stretch goals during the Kickstarter campaign.
PLUB's dimensions come in at 12 mm (H) x 12 mm (W) x 48 mm (L) and weighs under 10 grams making it the smallest and lightest Bluetooth receiver available. Even at these specifications, PLUB houses a 120mAh battery, which allows for 5 hours of continuous use.
This project is promoted by Jellop, a direct response online advertising agency specializing in Kickstarter campaigns on Facebook Ads and Google AdWords.

boud is a design company re-envisioned to combine both technology and design elements into customer-centric products with a wow-factor. A little over a year ago, we successfully completed our crowdfunding campaign for Flex cam PIC, the world's first flexible camera, raising over $165,000. Through that experience, we learned so much about the crowdfunding and mass production process, and feel much more prepared now that we embark on our second crowdfunding campaign.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could join us on our second crowdfunding journey with PLUB!

In its current state, I think of Twitter as a fantastic platform to spread goodwill. But as a medium for customer service? Paint me skeptical. Until now.
You see, this last week I decided to install a video service that would allow me to chat across the web with other people using cameras. This service is called Tokbox and it's actually pretty fun. The company wrote a nice little application that I can embed into my Firefox toolbar that apparently is connected with Facebook. Well, for some reason I couldn't get it to work and decided to complain about it via Twitter, hoping someone would respond to my Tokbox-related questions.
Lo and behold, I received a response via Twitter from a service called Get Satisfaction informing me that my question was answered via their website. Get Satisfaction is a community-based customer-service aggregator for large and small brands alike, where they use the social web to uncover, respond to and alleviate concerns through conversations around their represented brands. Members of the community interact with employees of the companies to resolve issues with products and services. Think of it as a more specialized Yahoo Answers.
This novel approach to mitigate my issues was definitely appreciated, since the dialog between Tokbox and myself occurred within media I was comfortable with. Check it out when you have an opportunity.

I'd heard so many good things about Bakery Nouveau, and would have visited it sooner if I'd been able to spell it correctly in a Google search. I have to admit, I was a little intimidated by it's reputation as one of Seattle's best bakeries (not to mention the plethora of vowels in the name), and when I got there I was quickly overwhelmed by the choices and the crowds of people.
It's not easy to choose carefully when there are so many delicious-looking items and a long line waiting behind you! I wanted lunch, so I got a piece of pesto pizza, plus a slice of German Chocolate Cake (pictured below). As an afterthought I got a chocolate croissant for the next morning. The pizza was super-salty but also super-good. The crust is a lot less doughy than traditional pizza crust, and the pesto was top-notch. The cake, on the other hand, did not excite me:
Everything about it was fine, but not spectacular. Later (after reading some reviews) I realized I should have tried the classic chocolate cake instead, since the ganache is apparently to-die-for. However, I did luck out with the chocolate croissant:
In the rush of getting ready for work the next morning, I almost forgot about it, but remember in time to heat it up and chow down. After one bite, I knew I'd found my new favorite croissant place (remind me to do a taste-test someday against Besalu). It was perfect and I'd drive over to West Seattle any day just for the pleasure of eating one of these.
Quick tip: If you visit on the weekend, plan on getting your food to-go… it's pretty hard to get a table.

Review of The Book of Skulls by Robert Silverberg
2 comments:
Great review! When I read this novel about 16 years ago, I wondered where the SF was in this "SF Masterwork". I don't consider it SF at all - it's more Pysch-Fiction (if that' a genre). A classic travelogue about four teens getting to know themselves, with a premise of doom (or immortality) over their heads.ReplyDelete
I gotta agree with you. The only thing that might be considered remotely "sf" is the monk commune the guys encounter toward the end, but even that feels more fantasy than sf. I guess the editors of the SF Masterworks really wanted to include the book in the series and gave Silverberg, predominantly an sf writer, the benefit of the doubt. As to the sexual content, it's Silverberg, so there are going to be references to ripe, heaving breasts and more...Delete

Hi Vladyslav,
>The attached file is the code for your calculation in FORM. You can run
>it via
>form trace.frm
Thank you for that code!
I've tried to run it and here what I can see. Again considering terms with u^3 I've got the following set of expressions:
- 256*e_[k1,p,p1,s]*p2.k2*u^3 + 256*e_[k1,p,p1,k2]*p2.s*u^3 - 256*e_[k1,p,s,k2]*p1.p2*u^3+
+ 256*e_[k1,p1,p2,s]*p.k2*u^3 - 256*e_[k1,p1,p2,k2]*p.s*u^3 + 512*e_[k1,p1,s,k2]*p.p2*u^3-
- 256*e_[k1,p2,s,k2]*p.p1*u^3 - 256*e_[p,p1,s,k2]*k1.p2*u^3 + 256*e_[p1,p2,s,k2]*k1.p*u^3
It is very easy to see that by applying the Schouten identity twice we get that this sum is exactly zero as it should be!
Do you have any ideas why FeynCalc have a different output?
Best Regards,
Nikita Belyaev

The Winter Storm arrives
A winter storm has arrived in the northwest...not always expected in the sometimes moderate climate of Washington state, but we are preparing for a long and cold one this time.
Current wind chill is only 6 degrees F. and wind gusts are up in the forty to fifty mph range.
A light frosting of snow on the ground with a bit more to arrive today.
Went out this morning to fill the bird feeders...to the delight of the chickadees, towhees, sparrows and even a sap sucker or two.

Take toys to miniature wagon

Adrenaline-Fueled Panic is NOT a Strategy
A comic strip I found in 2010 reminded me of a lesson hard-learned: A skill over-used, or a strategy wrongly applied, can be a fast path to disaster.
In this blog David Taylor-Klaus offers up some of his thoughts & theories, musings & mumblings, and contents & concepts. Read, enjoy, and comment ...
A comic strip I found in 2010 reminded me of a lesson hard-learned: A skill over-used, or a strategy wrongly applied, can be a fast path to disaster.
My father passed away a month ago. In his eulogy, I wrote, "it's ironic that the man with a beautiful, limitless heart battled a failing heart for three decades. The magical part is that he never let the failing tissue define him. What defined him was his love and his playful, teen-age exuberance." I wonder how he would have answered had I thought to ask him the question: "What defines you?" (There are so many questions I wish I had asked him.)
Is it the end of the year already? Really?! It's hard for us to believe how fast the year went. It's been full of stretching and growth, set-backs and leaps forwards, upheaval and joy. With 2013 mere days away, we find the words of Stephen R. Covey coming to mind: "How different our lives are when we really know ..."
When was the last time a comic strip kicked you in the gut? In 2005 a "Rhymes With Orange" strip hit a nerve, turning my attention to my inner critic - that hyper-critical, judgmental voice that catalogs our failures and dismisses our successes.
Since there is no "Inner-Critic-ectomy," I had to learn how to be with him when he shows up ...
stagnant water loses its purity,
and in cold weather becomes frozen;
even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
I got curious ... Where am I frozen? Where am I choosing inaction? Where am I losing my edge? What is available to me that I'm not using?
I spent Sunday watching my riding buddies disappear up the hill ahead of me. At first, I was pissed that they were ahead of me. And then I started this mantra: "I've got nothing to prove, and no one to prove it to." I realized that it's not about measuring myself against anyone else, it's about competing with myself to get to where I want to be.
I have recommitted to making the time for myself in the midst of everything else ... in service of being more present for my family and my work. Yes, I've lost my edge, for now. BUT ... I am back on the bike, moving, pushing, clearing out the cobwebs.
That's what's available to me. What about you?
David Taylor-Klaus is a Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Life Coach and a Partner in Touchstone Coaching. His passion is working with busy "40-somethings" to build profitable businesses, raise thriving families and create fulfilling lives.
My untouched to-do list was with me, in my laptop bag, in the trunk, following me home ... mocking me. I could wallow in the stress or choose a different path. How often do you notice yourself tolerating the stress?
Vision Statement? Check! Most entrepreneurs stop there. While valuable, a Vision Statement alone is insufficient to inspire, to drive, to lead your company. You need to take it a step further. Your company needs a Vision Story. More importantly, YOU need a Vision Story ... first.
You have a complete, prioritized To-Do List. The hard part's done, right? Not so fast. Without structure for the execution part, your list becomes a trap in 2 different ways. Here's how scribbling and playing with blocks can help you reduce the stress and still be effective.
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
-- Albert Einstein
A 7th grade teacher once said to my ADHD child, "If you would just focus more, you'd understand this better." The teacher may as well have asked my daughter to be taller. Bex is, and always has been a beautifully dynamic and creative soul. She lives in the moment and from her heart so effortlessly.
Judging her by her ability to focus rather than her ability to learn dismissed her strengths, her individuality and her genius. And it demeaned her.
How much longer will you judge yourself? How much longer will you demand things of yourself that are beyond your capacity?
You are a genius. (If Einstein said it, it must be true!)
Leadership is about setting people up for success. That's why the language we use is essential. I believe that taking a leadership position in your own life is a prerequisite for leading others. It's time to start with your own language. I came across a very illuminating story last week ...

A Healthy Baby Girl
A film by Judith Helfand
In 1963 filmmaker Judith Helfand's mother was prescribed the ineffective, carcinogenic synthetic hormone diethylstilbestrol (DES), meant to prevent miscarriage and ensure a healthy baby. At twenty-five, Judith was diagnosed with DES-related cervical cancer. After a radical hysterectomy she went to her family's home to heal and picked up her camera. The resulting video-diary is a fascinating exploration of how science, marketing and corporate power can affect our deepest relationships. Shot over five years, A HEALTHY BABY GIRL tells a story of survival, mother-daughter love, family renewal, and community activism. Intimate, humorous, and searing, it is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the relationship between women's health, public policy, medical ethics and corporate responsibility.
I Had an Abortion
A film by Gillian Aldrich and Jennifer Baumgardner
Underneath the din of politicians posturing about "life" and "choice" and beyond the shouted slogans about murder and rights, there are real stories of real women who have had abortions. Each year in the US, 1.3 million abortions occur, but the topic is still so stigmatized it�s never discussed in polite company. Powerful, poignant, and fiercely honest, I HAD�AN ABORTION tackles this taboo, featuring 10 women � including famed feminist Gloria Steinem � who candidly describe experiences spanning seven decades, from the years before Roe v. Wade to the present day. Filmmakers Jennifer Baumgardner (author of Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future) and Gillian Aldrich insightfully document how changing societal pressures have affected women�s choices and experiences.
In Sickness and In Health
A film by Pilar Prassas, Edited by Peter Heacock

Jane: An Abortion Service
A film by Kate Kirtz and Nell Lundy
This fascinating political look at a little-known chapter in women's history tells the story of "Jane", the Chicago-based women's health group who performed nearly 12,000 safe illegal abortions between 1969 and 1973 with no formal medical training. As Jane members describe finding feminism and clients describe finding Jane, archival footage and recreations mingle to depict how the repression of the early sixties and social movements of the late sixties influenced this unique group. Both vital knowledge and meditation on the process of empowerment, Jane: An Abortion Service showcases the importance of preserving women's knowledge in the face of revisionist history.
Latching OnThe Politics of Breastfeeding in America
A film by Katja Esson
After filmmaker Katja Esson�s sister gave birth in Germany, she was able to breastfeed her baby anywhere and at any time. Returning home to New York, Esson found that breastfeeding was rarely practiced and largely unseen. Academy Award� Nominee Esson (Ferry Tales) turned her quirky eye on the subject and set out to learn why this was so. Her wide-ranging, frequently funny documentary highlights the intersecting economic, social, and cultural forces that have helped replace mother�s milk with formula produced by a billion dollar industry, and reveals the challenges and rewards for women who buck the trend.
The LuLu Sessions
A film by S. Casper Wong
Unlike anyone you've ever met, LuLu is a hard-living, chain-smoking rebel with a tender heart; poet with a potty mouth; farm girl; former cheerleader; world-class biochemistry pioneer; and beloved professor. Aka Dr. Louise Nutter, she has just discovered a new anti-cancer drug when, at 42, she learns she has terminal breast cancer. Reminiscent of Peter Friedman and Tom Joslin�s SILVERLAKE LIFE, THE LULU SESSIONS, via video diary, records the journey S. Casper Wong shared with her mentor, best friend, and on-again-off-again lover over the last 15 months before LuLu died. More

Halfway around the world in Mumbai, 27-year-old Aasia Khan, mother of three, contracts with a fertility clinic to be implanted with the Texas couple�s embryos. MADE IN INDIA, about real people involved in international surrogacy, follows the Switzers and Aasia through every stage of the process.
Middle of EverywhereThe Abortion Debate from America's Heartland
A film by Rebecca Lee & Jesper Malmberg
South Dakota is America�s heartland�waving cornfields, hard-working farmers, family values and a population of 750,000, the majority of whom identify as conservative and anti-abortion. Native daughter Rebecca Lee returns home in 2006 on the brink of a historic state vote: House Bill 1215 could make South Dakota the first state to outlaw most abortions since Roe vs. Wade passed almost 30 years earlier. In The Middle of Everywhere, Lee discovers the debate to be complex, with both sides claiming compassion for women and the same desire to stop the need for abortion.
The Motherhood Archives
A film by Irene Lusztig
Archival montage, science fiction and an homage to 1970s feminist filmmaking are woven together to form this haunting and lyrical essay film excavating hidden histories of childbirth in the twentieth century. After several years of buying films online and working in historical archives, award-winning filmmaker Irene Lusztig amassed an unusual and fascinating collection of found footage aimed at teaching women how to be pregnant, give birth, and look after babies, along with training films for obstetricians and health care professionals, and a handful of home movies.
My Toxic Baby
A film by Min Sook Lee
This eye-opening, often amusing documentary by the director of Tiger Spirit, winner of Canada�s prestigious Donald Brittain Gemini Award, records the filmmaker�s quest for safe, sane and affordable ways to raise her child in a world embedded with toxic threats and still lead a normal life. Although new mother Min Sook Lee breast fed her daughter from birth, she used baby bottles too, only to discover that they leached a chemical byproduct linked to impaired health and serious diseases. This set in motion a journey that exposes hidden dangers in infant bath soaps, diaper rash creams, teething toys and many everyday products from an industry largely unregulated by law. For Lee, it also uncovers risks posed by our own homes and chemical contaminants we carry within our own bodies.
Orchids: My Intersex Adventure
A film by Phoebe Hart
Gen X filmmaker Phoebe Hart always knew she was different growing up � but she didn�t know why. This award-winning documentary traces Phoebe�s voyage of self-discovery as an intersex person, a group of conditions formerly termed hermaphroditism. Learning only in her teens that she was born with 46XY (male) chromosomes, Hart now seeks to understand her own story and the stories of others affected by this complex and often shameful syndrome.
Scarlet Road
A film by Catherine Scott, Produced by Pat Fiske
Impassioned about freedom of sexual expression, Australian sex worker Rachel Wotton specializes in a long overlooked clientele� people with disabilities. Working in New South Wales�where prostitution is legal� Rachel�s philosophy is that human touch and sexual intimacy can be the most therapeutic aspects to our existence. Indeed, she is making a dramatic impact on the lives of her customers, many of whom are confined to wheelchairs or cannot speak or move unaided. Through her graduate studies and her nonprofit group Touching Base, Rachel both fights for the rights of sex workers and promotes awareness and access to sexual expression for the disabled through sex work�and brings together these two often marginalized groups. More
Water Children
A film by Aliona van der Horst
In this acclaimed, hauntingly beautiful film, director Aliona van der Horst follows the unconventional Japanese-Dutch pianist Tomoko Mukaiyama as she explores the miracle of fertility and the cycle of life�sometimes joyful, sometimes tragic. When Mukaiyama recognized that her childbearing years were ending, she created a multimedia art project on the subject in a village in Japan, constructing what she calls a cathedral, out of 12,000 white silk dresses. While Mukaiyama�s own mesmerizing music provides a haunting backdrop to the film, her installation elicits confessions from its normally reticent Japanese visitors, many of whom have never seen art before�and in moving scenes they open up about previously taboo subjects.

Atomos is offering customers the chance to save big on the Sumo19 and Sumo 19M HDR production monitors. For a limited time only, Atomos will reduce the price of the Sumo 19 by $500 / €500 and the Sumo19M by $400 / €400. This offer is available until 13 April 2018.
London's most famous landmarks, two helicopters and Atomos recorders were the keys to a new film to raise awareness for London Air Ambulance, a charity organisation which swoops in to rescue around ten critically injured people each day.
The latest Atomos Sumo 19 combined monitor and recorder got its first trial in a broadcast environment at the European Youth Olympic Festival in Hungary last month. Young athletes from 50 countries competed in 130 events, which were broadcast live across Europe both on TV and online. A televised highlight show also ran every day - and Atomos ensured that the production team could quickly and easily edit all the material.
Hollywood Director of Photography Rodney Charters ASC has been one of the first to use the new Atomos Sumo 19 production monitor and recorder. Charters, best known for his work on landmark series 24, teamed up Youtube star Kaiman Wong, to shoot a comedy episode for his hugely popular channel.
Vimond Media Solutions today announced that one of its flagship customers, Norway's TV 2, unveiled its newly redesigned Sumo online TV service at the Microsoft(R) Nordic launch of Windows(R) 8 in Stockholm on Oct. 26. TV 2 Sumo, which is powered by the Vimond Media Platform, has been optimized for the Windows 8 operating system.
The jury statement reads: "This year's site has created a pay service on the Internet that has aroused international attention. TV 2 has developed a service that allows users access to exclusive and strong content in an exemplary manner. The winner has taken the development seriously to ensure that content is easily available on several different platforms."

Well, I've been busy --- just not with finishing things. This little biscornu/tuffet is my first in awhile. I learned how to do this a couple weeks ago. Sewing is not my strong suit but this was pretty easy to do. And now that I know what I'm doing, I should be able to finish a couple other things. That is, after things settle down at work.
Thanks for looking!

Galleries and their close relatives, crystal palaces, were built throughout Europe in the 19th Century. They were the early fruits of industrialization, which made cheap iron and glass widely available and brought the cost of these nearly unthinkable projects within reach.
Aside from being lovely things, especially when illuminated from within at night, galleries provide excellent protection from the weather and make it possible to extend the season for outdoor activities, such as cafés.
In Canada, the "underground gallery" became popular starting about 1965. It serves the same function as the galleries shown here. However, the underground malls, while providing perfect shelter from wind and snow, are a dead form - the environment is the same night and day, whether sunny or rainy. They were adopted because it is not possible to allow internal combustion engines inside closed spaces, so the streets cannot be covered over. Think how much better Montreal would be if, instead of putting the shopping malls underground, the streets had galleries built over them. In fact, Canadian architect Moshe Safdie has proposed something even better - galleries that can be opened during good weather, the best of all worlds. Whether this proposal is really technically feasible is open to question, but it is a fine notion. It would, of course, require that the affected streets were first made carfree.

Making a Proper Martini
02 Aug 2013 08:29
I'm sick of going into places that claim to be bars and having the people who call themselves bartenders not know how to make a Martini. I'm not talking about some goddamn craft cocktail with nine ingredients including a garnish from an Abyssinian coconut. Just a Martini. Everyone—whether you are a bartender or not—should know how not to ruin this simple, delicious drink.
When I say a Martini, I am, of course, talking about a gin Martini. Vodka is a drink for people who don't like alcohol, a neutral spirit purposefully designed to have no flavor aside from the alcoholic burn. If you want vodka, I can't stop you from drinking it, but I can recommend against it. Consider yourself warned.
The classic gin Martini has only two primary ingredients: dry (white) vermouth and gin. What the hell is dry vermouth, you ask? A fortified (meaning extra alcohol) wine aromatized with herbs and spices. There are many brands but get Dolin. It's delicious and quite reasonably priced. After you open it, keep it in the refrigerator and throw it out after six weeks if you don't drink it all; it will go bad.
As an aside, there is also sweet (red) vermouth, a magical ingredient that's critical to many spectacular cocktails. Sweet vermouth lasts longer in the refrigerator, and I find it fine for up to six months (although a bottle never lasts that long in my house).
For this drink—as with every other drink—the quality of your ingredients matter, so get good gin. What is "good" gin? I like Bombay Sapphire best, but there are dozens of choices here. Experiment; it will be fun.
I'm not going to be dogmatic about the gin/vermouth proportions because what matters most is how it tastes to you. Not sure? Experiment; it will be fun. The classic proportions are two parts gin to one part vermouth, and a "part" is normally an ounce. Not sure how to measure an ounce? Get a few of these nifty little measuring cups and never guess again. I like mine with a significantly higher proportion of gin, but your taste will vary. It's said that Winston Churchill felt he got enough vermouth in his Martini by glancing toward France, but a Martini with no vermouth is just a glass of cold gin. Nothing wrong with a glass of cold gin, but it's not a Martini.
Now you're almost ready to make your Martini, but you must consider two other ingredients: your garnish and whether or not you are going add a dash of orange bitters.
I garnish with a lemon twist. A twist is a piece of the lemon rind that DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY LEMON PITH OR PULP. Slice off the piece of rind (you can use a special tool if you want, but a sharp knife will work just fine) and then twist it over the finished Martini to release the essential oils before dropping it into the drink. If your twist includes any of the lemon pulp—as they do in many crap bars—your drink will be ruined. Like olives instead? Fine. But make sure they are chilled so you are not dropping a little warm bomb into an icy glass of gin/vermouth perfection.
I don't use any orange bitters, but try one with a few drops sometime; you may love it that way, and it's not sacrilege to add it. In fact, there are many purists who will claim a drink without bitters of some kind is not a cocktail at all.
One more decision: to shake or to stir? There are entire web pages devoted to this question, and you can peruse them if you want. But here are few considerations: shaking will make it colder but will also add more water to the mix and has the potential to cloud the drink. Despite the fact that it is not the traditionally accepted way to make a Martini, I like mine shaken because the cold jolt is part of the joy of this cocktail to me. You may prefer yours stirred. Experiment; it will be fun.
So now to making the drink. Measure your gin and vermouth into a glass or a shaker. Add ice. Make it cold by stirring vigorously or shaking. Pour into a chilled Martini glass. Add the orange bitters if you want. Add your garnish of choice. Enjoy.

As autumn approaches, the Tired Donkey is really looking forward to the new Brooks Brothers catalog. Why? Because last year's catalog was so unintentionally, uproariously funny.
The Tired Donkey must admit that the original did not contain dialogue and captions and storyboard panels, but the whole story was in there, just waiting to get out. And now it's been released from its cold, WASPy prison.

Rethinking Our Tax System
03 Aug 2011 19:12 Filed in: Tax Stat Analysis | Linguistic Shenanigans
Despite his great wisdom on the matter, the Tired Donkey swore off writing about taxes long ago because (1) of the thousands of visitors his blog gets every month, about two of them look at his tax-related posts, and (2) writing about our tax system became so depressing that the Tired Donkey nearly expired. Unfortunately, the recent brouhaha over the debt ceiling and a run of staggering stupidity at the New York Times is forcing the Tired Donkey to come out of tax retirement. So here we go. The Tired Donkey will try to make it brief.
On the day after the announcement of the debt ceiling deal, the New York Times' editorial page, under the headline "To Escape Chaos, a Terrible Deal," opined that the Democrats "held out for a few basic principles." Among these, the paper observed, was the principle that there "must be new tax revenues in the mix so that the wealthy bear a share of the burden . . ." Hmmm. A share of the burden? Let's check that out.

Why the Big ISPs Are Lying to You About Net Neutrality
22 Apr 2011 06:51 Filed in: Linguistic Shenanigans | Net Neutrality
I wrote about the Net Neutrality debate back in August, and it's time for an update because you are being lied to on a daily basis by the people who control your access to the Internet. It's time to get educated.
First, the basics. Last year a federal court of appeals in Washington, D.C., declared that the FCC lacked the authority to prevent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from restricting the websites their customers could visit. That's a big deal if you care about an open internet.
An analogy here should be useful. As hackneyed as it is, imagine the internet as a highway over which information flows. The only way you can access any of that information is via an an off-ramp, and the ISPs own all of them. Get your internet from Comcast? You're at the end of a Comcast off-ramp. The traffic on the highway below you, like the traffic on the internet, flows unimpeded regardless of rules governing the on-ramps and off-ramps. But you can't access any of it without your off-ramp controller (your ISP), and they are fighting as hard as they can to be allowed to make decisions about what you are and are not allowed to see.

Speeding Up a Sluggish Mac
13 Dec 2010 07:47 Filed in: Mac Hardware | Mac Software
Is your Mac feeling slow? Does iTunes take forever to start up? Do programs that used to feel snappy suddenly feel like they are running on a virus-clogged Windows machine? Then this is the post for you, with one caveat: if you came here looking for hardware-based fixes for a slow Mac like additional RAM, faster hard drives or new video cards, this is not the post for you. But you might learn something useful anyway.
Slow Mac issues are generally caused by one of three things: RAM over-utilization, too little free space on your hard drive or various, esoteric issues with system permissions and the like. It is undeniable that two of these three could almost certainly be helped by hardware upgrades, but it is also undeniable that there are likely things you can do to optimize the performance of the Mac you have rather than the Mac you might have someday in the future. That's what this post will help with. So read on because even if you are planning on adding RAM or a bigger hard drive, there is no sense in using what you already have inefficiently.

ARM, Lagos government partner to equip youths on coding technology
Code Lagos is aimed at educating Lagos State residents for the future of work – by teaching them how to write code and creatively solve problems. The scheme will run in public and private schools in the state, from primary to tertiary institutions and public libraries.
The Chief Executive Officer, ARM, Jumoke Ogundare, at the unveiling of the new scheme yesterday, said the Code Lagos project would make more youths employable, stay afloat with innovations across the globe as well as contributing meaningfully to the growth of the nation's economy.
Ogundare, who stated that her company would be providing 15 of the 750 centres planned by the state government in three years, enjoined students to take advantage of the scheme to grow their talents.
She said: "We believe that an economy can only grow if people are literate and aware of things happening in the society and globally. For us, we see education as the foundation for any good society. When you bring business and education together, it is then that the economy can really grow to an enviable level.
"As we get more educated people, it would be easy for companies to employ people, because they are now well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to the growth of businesses," she said.
Ogundare said the company is partnering with Lagos State Ministry of Education because it believed they have the zeal to make the economy work, as they pursue their goals vigorously.
The Special Adviser to Lagos State Governor on Education, Obafela Enitan, said the scheme is targeting one million people by 2019, who are expected to be trained by professional facilitators contracted by the government.
According to him, the government will launch the first phase of 350 centres in April this year. He said: "Coding is the future, because there is level of coding on everything we do on daily basis, this will expand your mind and you will never be the same person again. This is something that is being done in other countries. United Kingdom, United States and India and a host of others countries that have taken codes to a great level and it has contributed majorly to their economy.
So what we are doing is to make them learn the skills and make them more employable for corporate Nigerians to get workers that will add value to their company. To us in government, we need a workforce that can drive our economy, and it is focused at ensuring that we have quality minds that can drive this economy,"

A warning to those who want the government to reveal its Brexit blueprint
Justin Protts, 12 October 2016
Today the Labour Party set out a list of questions asking publically for details of the government's negotiation plans. If answered by government, such questions could seriously undermine the UK's chances of a good outcome.
Despite constant complaints about the lack of clarity over Brexit and the UK government's demands, it seems to me perfectly clear what is wanted. Theresa May's speech at the Conservative Party conference, and the subsequent appearance of David Davis in the House of Commons, made it perfectly clear. What is not clear is what the European Union and its 27 members are willing to offer the UK, and there is value in that.
In her speech, the Prime Minister set out quite clearly what the vote to leave means for the UK: 'We are going to be a fully-independent, sovereign country, a country that is no longer part of a political union with supranational institutions that can override national parliaments and courts. And that means we are going, once more, to have the freedom to make our own decisions on a whole host of different matters, from how we label our food to the way in which we choose to control immigration.'
This passage, with the mention of courts, food labelling (market regulation), and immigration, makes it clear that the Prime Minister sees parliamentary control over these issues as paramount to leaving the EU. This, combined with the statement that the UK will 'win trade agreements with old friends and new partners', makes it clear that she intends to deliver on the primary reason for which the UK voted to leave the EU – to allow decisions about the UK to be taken in the UK.
Though this will mean leaving the customs union, and probably the single market, reducing access to EU markets is clearly not a goal unto itself. Later in the speech the PM reiterated this: 'I want it to give British companies the maximum freedom to trade with and operate in the Single Market – and let European businesses do the same here. But let me be clear. We are not leaving the European Union only to give up control of immigration again. And we are not leaving only to return to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.'
The government has still not explicitly ruled out staying in the single market and has not announced what deal it expects, or is even trying to negotiate. This approach makes sense. The UK government is clearly aware it is unlikely to get a deal that gives the same level of access to the single market while withdrawing from the jurisdiction of the EU courts and taking full control of migration and trade policy. However, maintaining current levels of access while delivering on Brexit as described by the PM is what would be best for the UK economy, best for business, and would cause the least economic damage to both the UK and the EU.
If possible, this position would be ideal and fully respected the vote to leave on the mantra of 'take control', but negotiations do not work like that. Remainers, avid supporters of the single market and those parliamentarians determined to hear or vote on the UK government's Brexit plans, are in reality asking the UK government to publicly announce the areas where they are willing to compromise.
It is notable that the European Union's negotiators have also not gone around shouting about their plans and what they are willing to negotiate with the UK. The phrase is not 'No Notification, No Negotiation… but you'll probably get a free trade deal and transitionary measures for services until a new agreement is reached.' Instead EU leaders have been out in force – making threats.
The EU has to balance the job of protecting its own economic interests and making it look like the UK has not gained from leaving. A strong hand for the UK is to allow the EU to claim credit for pushing the UK out of the single market. If the UK government openly admits it does not intend to remain a member of the single market (as supposed to heavily implying it) then the EU cannot claim to have forced us out, so the EU will have to push the UK even further in negotiations.
In fact, the more the UK government reveals, the more the EU will have to push back and make it look like an EU win. This has the potential to damage not only the UK's economy but the entire EU's. The current posturing on both sides is necessary to allow the EU and UK to portray the outcome as a win while still maintaining positive trade relations. The last thing anyone in the UK or EU should want is to force the EU to come down harder than necessary.
That is not to say the UK should be complacent. If the UK really wants to strengthen its hand then every UK politician, rather than making damaging demands of our government, should be united pointing out to the EU the importance of UK trade and making it clear that it will be the EU, not the UK, that is responsible for the economic harm awaiting Europe if trade barriers rise.

1) Your Kickstarter Campaign for Alykat Creative was a total success! What was going through your mind as you reached your funding goal?
Alyson: Considering I didn't think I would even reach the goal within the month and ended up exceeding it within the first 24 hours, I was in shock with excitement! The adrenaline was pumping those first few days, in fact it was the whole month the campaign was live! I wrote a blog post about the campaign in more detail here, fittingly titled ''Kicking A***''.
2) How did your move from Melbourne to London affect you creatively?
Alyson: It actually stopped me in my tracks. I was going through quite a big life change in moving here all by myself at 29 and I didn't have a job, a flat or a clue, let alone creative ideas or material to produce anything! It took close to a year until I had to really force myself to break the dry streak.
3) What does your creative process involve?
Alyson: I usually have an idea of what I want to draw. Then I source inspiration and reference images, print them out and use my light box to draw lots of separate bits and pieces with pen, then watercolour. Scan everything in and start layering it all and creating scenes with textures, photos and in Photoshop.
4) At what time of day are you the most productive?
Alyson: Hmm. Lately I've been pretty hangover-free on the weekends and have been really appreciating the early-ish starts on a Saturday or Sunday. You can just cram so much in when you start earlier! Though don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the 6am starts I have to do during the week!
5) Do you have a favourite out of your three series: Animal, Escape from the Circus and Stardust?
Alyson: They all represent different times in my life and creative journey, so that's a tough one. I think my transition from the first Animal series to Escape from the Circus shows a turning point when I started telling more of a story, rather than just trying to make something look aesthetically pleasing.
Alyson: It's a bit of a tie between my experience of Melbourne's Supergraph Print Fair where I held my first ever stall and sold out of prints and did surprisingly well, and the Kickstarter campaign. Both highlights of my life in general really.
7) Finally, do you have an 'end goal' in mind for your career?
Alyson: Well where I am now, teaching at a design college, had been my goal for quite a while, so I'm still letting that one sink in, but down the track in an ideal world, I'd love to be teaching design part-time to aboriginal artists in Australia and focussing on creating new Alykat work. Yeah, that'd be pretty awesome.

MONTREAL, Canada -- Sebastian Vettel says Ferrari's engine upgrade was key to the Italian team returning to the top of the podium at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Vettel scored his first victory since April's Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday, retaking the lead of the championship as his main rival Lewis Hamilton struggled home to fifth. Ferrari brought an engine upgrade to this weekend's grand prix while Mercedes postponed its planned update by one race due to reliability concerns.
After taking pole position by less than a tenth of the second from Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas, Vettel believes the boost in engine performance was crucial for Sunday's result.
"The car's been beautiful today," he said. "At the end I was just praying the car stays fine, nothing would break, but it's been a really good weekend.
"Yesterday was perfect, Friday was difficult, but we bounced back. With the improvements we made for this weekend, mostly on the power unit, introducing a new engine helped us around this track probably a bit more than other tracks, but it was a team effort. It goes hand in hand.
"We had new oil, new fuel -- our partnership with Shell is important. Getting everything together is the key. I'm just happy. It was a great grand prix to win."
But Vettel revealed it wasn't all plain sailing as he had to manage an issue with his car midway through the race.
"I think after the stop, we had a sequence of... I don't know, I had to change a lot of things on the steering wheel. At some point I was saying 'OK when am I allowed to drive again?' I was looking down, changing something, then looking back. Obviously we were managing some things in the background."

I know Pookie is our go to on things like supplements but she's away. While we wait for her to return I will be interested in any other opinions or links anyone has that might help Mazy cat and me.
I think cats eat grass to make themselves throw up in order to resolve tummy upset. At least, that's been my experience.
Liquid Chlorophyll is an ideal tonic for your pet with bad breath. Suitable for cats and dogs and helps to deodorise the body improve the immune response, reduces acidic levels, and cleans the blood of impurities. It also helps towards improving proper bowel movements. A bad breath can be the result of decaying teeth as a result of eating meats, poor digestion or parasites. Equally, Chlorophyll will deodorise internally and oxygenate the blood. Parasites hate oxygen. Liquid Chlorophyll is like having a very mild detox helping to clean the animal from within.
Veterinarians aren't so sure about the benefits. "Do cats need chlorophyll? No," said Dr. Arnold Plotnick, the owner of Manhattan Cat Specialists on the Upper West Side. "Cats are true carnivores, so they are not really designed to eat plants and vegetation. As far as I know, there's no science to back up the claim that cats need nutrients that they can only get from eating grass."
Just seeing this. When Mazy took Pepcid before, did it help stop the puking?
It's just....adding anything new to Mazy's regimen can back fire and I hate to rock the boat. But what if this is something that might really help her?
f you believe what you see in cartoons, you would think that mice eat cheese. Actually, they like to eat fruits, seeds and grains. They are omnivorous, which means they eat both plants and meat, and the common house mice will eat just about anything it can find. In fact, if food is scarce, mice will even eat each other.
Photosynthesis occurs primarily in plant leaves, so chlorophyll is most abundant in dark green, leafy vegetables. The top source on Linus Pauling's list is spinach, with 23.7 milligrams of chlorophyll in 1 cup of raw spinach. Spinach is also a good source of the orange pigment beta carotene, but its leaves contain so much chlorophyll that the green pigment hides the orange. Two other good sources are fresh parsley and garden cress. One-half cup of parsley has 19 milligrams of chlorophyll, while 1 cup of garden cress provides 15.6 milligrams. Choose leafy vegetables with the darkest shade of green to obtain the maximum amount of chlorophyll.Other Green Vegetables to ChooseFresh green beans, arugula and leeks are also good sources of chlorophyll. Each one has about 8 milligrams of chlorophyll in a 1-cup serving. The same portion of endive and sugar peas supplies about 5 milligrams, while you'll get 4 milligrams of chlorophyll from 1 cup of Chinese cabbage. North Dakota State University's list of chlorophyll sources includes green peppers, Brussels sprouts, peas, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini and cucumbers. Chlorophyll-containing fruits include green apples, honeydew melon and kiwi.Wheatgrass Contains ChlorophyllWheatgrass comes from immature, green wheat, so it contains chlorophyll. It also provides amino acids, vitamins and minerals. You may see wheatgrass touted for its ability to boost red blood cells or to help heal common colds, bronchitis, fevers, infections and inflammation, but these claims are not supported by current evidence, according to the American Cancer Society. A few studies have explored the potential for wheatgrass to relieve symptoms related to ulcerative colitis and to treat plantar fasciitis. New York University's Langone Medical Center reports that the studies were too flawed to prove it provides any benefit for these conditions.

Statistics paint a troubling picture of the prospects for a pregnant teenager, particularly where education is concerned.
Only 40 percent of girls who have a child before age 18 will graduate from high school, according to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.
That's why it's so important for Denver Public Schools to develop clear rules about post-partum absences for these vulnerable young women.
The goal should be to give the new mothers time to recover and bond with their babies, but get them back to class in a reasonable time frame.
A Denver Post story by reporter Jeremy P. Meyer said students at East High School presumably are expected at school the day after being released from the hospital. If they stay home, they're given unexcused absences. That's a pretty harsh penalty for young women who are already in a difficult situation.
Last month, two counselors who are University of Colorado students interning at East, and a pregnant teen appeared before the school board to ask for a maternity leave policy for students. They talked about four to six weeks of excused absences, a reasonable time frame.
We would hope to see school administrators do everything possible to bring these girls back to classes so they have a fighting chance of graduating, not painting them as truants.
The further these women go in pursuing an education, the better off their children — and taxpayers — will be. A 2004 study showed teen pregnancy cost taxpayers $167 million in Colorado. Most of the cost is associated with caring for the children of these young mothers. That includes public health care, child welfare and the criminal justice system. As you might expect, young dropout mothers have lower earning potential in the workforce.
Denver has a distressingly high rate of teen pregnancy. Statistics show that about 55 girls of every 1,000 ages 15 to 17 will become pregnant. Statewide, that number is 24.
Denver's alternative school for seventh to 12th grade girls who are pregnant or are new mothers, Florence Crittenton School, is full and has a waiting list. Given the amount of empty classroom space in DPS, we wonder whether it's possible to use some of the district's surplus space to meet this need.
Superintendent Michael Bennet has asked administrators to look at DPS policies and practices regarding student absences for new mothers. His spokesman said the goal is to devise a policy that spells out how each school should handle such absences.
We look forward to seeing guidelines that are sensitive to the difficulties that come with motherhood, but clearly encourage these young women to return to school. It's good for them, their children and society.

MOSCOW — New Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev drew praise Thursday from a number of Western leaders for his take-charge manner during a series of whirlwind mini-summit talks, in which he made clear that he will stick to the Kremlin's line of opposition to U.S. anti-missile defense plans.
The meetings, in which the 54-year-old Gorbachev reportedly displayed a strong and open style, produced a new sense of optimism about East-West relations and the possibility of reaching an agreement during Geneva negotiations on nuclear arms control.
On substance, however, the new Kremlin leader hewed to existing Soviet positions, including his reaffirmation of opposition to President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative--"Star Wars," as it is popularly called. He urged Western Europeans not to support the proposal.
Warning to Pakistan
In another meeting, Gorbachev warned Pakistan's President Zia ul-Haq about "aggressive action" against Afghanistan originating from Pakistani territory.
But he extended an olive branch to China, declaring that Moscow stands ready for serious efforts to improve relations despite 20 years of strained dealings.

Alex, a scientist who hates field-work, finds himself in a truck surrounded by sand flies and blowing dirt, bouncing across the desert. What is probably the worst day in his life is about to get worse. As he clings to his seat, a radio call comes through – four prospectors who disappeared in the desert have been found stripped of flesh with their bones scattered around a strange rock dome. With no clues to the massacre, things become terrifying when Alex discovers that he and his colleagues are being hunted by millions of creatures united into one horrifying and unstoppable killing machine. As darkness descends, the ground they stand on becomes a living carpet capable of devouring their flesh with every step.
