Introducing the Order of the Golden Fez fez.
Featuring one of the mystic symbols of our organization, the infamous Snarling Baboon, a distant cousin of out great mascot, the Smoking Baboon.
Designed by House of Tabu and expertly produced by fez maker to kings and the hoi polloi alike - Fez-o-rama –, the Order of the Golden Fez fez is resplendent in a style reminiscent of the desert sands and embroidered in six colors, the Snarling Baboon icon is featured upon a black fez with a golden tassel, staring out into the abyss.
Wait, did we say black fez?
Yes. As masters of confusion and hilarity wearing a golden fez would be too obvious a statement. Our swirled black velvet OOTGF fez speaks to the initiated with the simple letters "G" and "F." Only a wink and the the uttering of the secret phrase "corvus oculum corvi non eruit!" and a raised tipple give away our secret. Baffle the masses, and baffle we will.
Finding Your Fez Size
Our hat sizes are slightly different than what you may have come across in the past. We don't use the traditional hat size: (head circumference divided by Pi) that many traditional milliners use for two reasons.
- Firstly, our fezzes and chapeaus are cut and sewn from soft materials, not made from felt stretched over a shape block and then hardened. So our sizes come from our patterns not from a 3d form or industrial press.
- Secondly, could they have come up with a more needlessly complex way to designate sizes than dividing by Pi? ...in fractions!?!
Anyway we simply use your head circumference rounded up to the nearest half inch.
Tall vs Low Fezzes
We offer two main styles of fezzes, the more formal Tall Fez and the more casual Low Fez. In the beginning we made just the original 5.25" tall fez but I quickly discovered that it would clip the door frame as I got into and out of my car and would often drag against the headliner while driving. So to remedy this I created the "low fez" basically shortening the fez until it touched the top of my head. Low Fezzes are a good place to start your fez wearing if you don't have any experience wearing tall hats. The Tall Fez makes more of a statement and is the sort of thing I prefer to dress up to. It has that formal look seen in classic movies from a time when people dressed up for dinner and didn't wear short pants to the theater. There is a mysterious third style "Venti Fez" but it is rarely seen in polite company.
The Fez-o-Chapeau is a unisex hat loosely inspired by the Scottish glengarry cap, which is why it tends to be popular with the kilt-sporting crowd. We don't offer as many sizes of chapeaux as we do fezzes, and the size range is different so be sure to double-check your measurement before ordering. Guys tend to want to wear them lower on the head so if you are on the cusp between sizes you may want to go with the bigger size. Ladies might want to go smaller as many choose to wear them "pin-up" style and use a hair clip or bobby pin higher up on top of their head. The actual shape of one's head also plays into the fit of the Chapeau, while narrow heads will find the chapeau fits easily, wide heads may be uncomfortable with the amount of side-scalp exposed. This really comes down to personal preference.

We can also go 'outside' the norm when it comes to making either end of the fez scale – from 20.5" to 26.5". However, these can only be done for designs that are currently in production or private custom orders, and we do need a tad bit of lead time. Send us an email and we'll see what we can do.
Tassels and Vents
Tassels and Vents
Each fez or chapeau comes with one 6 inch tassel included, the option to purchase a second tassel if desired, and extra tassels can be purchased separately on their own. Tassels are easily removed and replaced. We recommend removing tassels before cleaning your fez. Tassels are susceptible to high humidity and have very poor defenses when attacked by cats.
Tassel Colors
Optional Fez Vents
Need to let off a little steam? Optional mesh vents can be added to the top of your fez at the time of purchase. Vents are sold in pairs, so buying 2 sets will get you 4 vents on the fez (chapeaus can only fit one pair of vents). Vents come in 3 finishes and we will install the one that matches the tassel grommet already installed on the fez. Vents cannot be removed and any hat customized with vents will not be eligible for a full refund if returned.
Our fezzes can be shipped either :
- Domestic USPS Priority flat-pack - Single Fez orders can be folded and packed into a small box. The fez will need some time to relax and perhaps a light steaming before wearing.
- UPS - one or more fezzes can be stacked and shipped in a single box, arriving ready to wear.
All shipments from Fez-o-rama are sent with a signature required for delivery. There are porch pirates in the world that have on occasion absconded with our shipping llamas (and their shipments of fezzes) in transit - the signature on delivery helps prevent that from occurring.
International Shipping
Current shipping times (business days) based on recent orders:
- Australia – 5-21 days
- Most of Europe & UK – 5-14 days
- Brazil – 14 – 23 days
- Ireland – 7-10 days
- Austria * 14-25 days *
- Sweden – 7-10 days
- APO – 8-18 days
- South America – 21-30 days
- Middle East – 21-30 days
- Japan – 7-16 days
- Thailand – 8-11 days
- New Zealand – 5-21 days
- Tasmania – 6-11 days
Please note:
VAT/Customs/Duty/Import fees may apply – those we know of include: UK, Austria, Thailand, and Germany. Your Customs House/Post will either send out a note, or hold the fez shipment until you're contacted.
Read this if you are NOT in the USA – it's really important! *seriously*
Here's what's going on for those of you in certain countries with Import duties and VAT.
When we ship internationally there's a form that gets filled out that shows what the items are in the order and how much an 'average' price for that item is. I can tell you that one fez is over that amount for packages going to the UK.
When the package gets to your country, your customs house will look at that form and if the amount is above 'some' amount they've decided on – it varies by country - you'll be sent a notice for a VAT/Import tax due. This may delay your order from being delivered.
What does this mean if you've ordered Expedited shipping – this means that your package will get into the country very quickly, and straight into the arms of your Customs house. We have no control of what happens at this point. If the package gets delayed for a long period of time we can open an inquiry through our Post, but we suggest the first step for you would be to contact your local post delivery person.
A little bit more on VAT/Import duties:
The recipient (buyer) is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of their local government. Orders shipped may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the local Country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's Country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be fulfilled by the recipient. Fez-o-rama has no control over these charges.
We also encourage shipping multiple fezzes in one package – that way you and your friends can split the VAT charge.
If you have any questions on International shipping, please write us!
Care and Feeding
Care and Feeding
We recommend hand washing with Woolite or similar (first remove the tassel) and then air drying the fez.
Ideally you want to shape it back into its fez form and prop it up so the bottom edge isn't being crushed and air can flow. A tall can or jar can often do the trick.
We have had friends run a fez through the delicate cycle in a machine but you will ultimately shorten the lifespan of the fez. You definitely want to avoid the dryer. That is where the real damage can happen with the heat and abrasion.
Our fezzes can be folded for travel with little fuss. Just give them a little time to breath after removing from your luggage and they should pop back into shape. If any wrinkles persist, a light steaming will take care of the problem.
Simply hold the fez above a kettle and lightly brush the velvet with your hand or a soft bristle brush. Once steamed let the fez rest and make yourself a nice cup of tea.

New Study Reveals Americans Don't Realize How Fat They Are [POLL]
Many of us could stand to lose a few pounds, but surely we're not that overweight, right? Well, a new study from the University of Washington says that Americans — men especially — are in denial when it comes to their waistlines.
The study, based on surveys of Americans taken in 2008 and 2009, found that many claimed to be losing weight when they actually weren't. In fact, the study says, the group's obesity rate increased by half a percentage point during that period to 26.5 percent.
Men in particular were twice as likely to convince themselves that they were shedding pounds. Lead study author Catherine Wetmore isn't quite sure why this is the case, but she thinks it may be related to pressure among women to stay slim.
"There could be a lot of reasons driving it," said Wetmore. "I know it's a stereotype, but I think women are more attuned to their appearance. And maybe it's society's pressure for women to be thin. Whatever the reason, you do see women doing a better job of keeping track of changes in their weight over time."
Either way, Wetmore said, it's important that Americans stop deluding themselves about their weight.
"The message we're trying to drive home is that if Americans don't accept the reality of their weight changes over time, they're not going to be motivated to lose weight," she said. "It's important to be attuned to even small changes in body weight because over time they can really add up."

A narrow patriotism — the psychological equivalent of a knee jerk — is an under-recognized force in modern journalism ethics.
It distorts our thinking about the role of journalism as soon as journalists offend national pride and whistleblowers dare to reveal secrets. Narrow patriotism turns practitioners of a free press into scolding censors. Suddenly, independent journalists become dastardly law breakers.
Narrow patriotism is the view that "love of country" means not embarrassing one's government, hiding all secrets and muting one's criticism of foreign and military policy in times of tension. Narrow patriotism is an absolute value, trumping the freedom of the press.
The Wikileaks saga proves, once again, that this form of patriotism is a powerful commitment of many journalists; often, more powerful than objectivity or independence.
For instance, as WikiLeaks rolled out the American diplomatic cables, Jeffrey T. Kuhner of the conservative Washington Times called for the assassination of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assangein a December 2 opinion piece. "We should treat Mr. Assange the same way as other high-value terrorist targets: Kill him"
One day later, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer said the WikiLeaks document dump was "sabotage" during a time of war. US Attorney General Eric Holder should "Throw the WikiBook" at the website, using every legal tool at his disposal.
These vociferous comments are not nasty comments made by anonymous online "patriots." They come from practitioners of a free press in the land of the free.
Critical journalism as patriotism
The Wikileaks controversy reveals tensions in our view of the role of journalism in democracy.
We believe in the idea of a free press; but we oppose it in practice when the press offends our patriotism, or works against some vaguely defined "national interest."
The same narrow patriotism was at work among major American media when President Bush decided to go to war with Iraq on flimsy claims. TV anchors put flags on their lapels and reporters accepted too easily the existence of weapons of mass destruction.
In times of conflict, the strong emotions of patriotism override journalists' in-principle commitment to critical informing the public and to impartiality. The word "patriotism" rarely occurs in journalism codes of ethics but its influence on practice is substantial.
So what's the right view of the role of journalism?
The role of a free press is not to serve the government or its diplomats. It is to serve the public who hold government accountable through information provided by the media.
Throughout history, journalists have caused their governments trouble and embarrassment. Journalists are properly patriotic when they write critically of government, when they reveal their hidden strategies, when they embarrass their government in front of the world.
Criticism and the publishing of important confidential data is the way journalists often serve the public, despite howls of outrage from some citizens.
Of course, Kuhner and Krauthammer don't represent all American journalists. Many journalists support WikiLeaks. For example, Anthony Shadid, foreign reporter for The New York Times in Bagdad, expressed enthusiastic support during a recent lecture at my university's Centre for Journalism Ethics.
The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner said: "I should probably be a little more ambiguous and grey about this, but I think it's wonderful. It's a wonderful disclosure, this transparency and this openness of public office. I find it incredibly refreshing and incredibly insightful, as well."
Two things at once
Like Shadid, I think the importance of the cables justifies their publication. But I am more concerned than Shadid about the new power of 'stateless' websites like Wikileaks.
In my view, if we care about the freedom to publish we need to do two things at the same time: First, protest attempts to shut down WikiLeaks, which include denying it access to the internet and calls to arrest Assange.
Second, we need to urge Assange to explain the principles that guide his decision to publish. Is he committed to simply publishing any and all secrets regardless of the consequences? Or is he willing to adopt the responsible approach of The New York Times and The Guardian which seeks to minimize the harm of their stories by carefully vetting the data. Is Assange willing to balance the freedom to publish with the principle of minimizing harm?
Minimizing harm does not mean not damaging the public profile of government. It means not naming informants, human activists, or innocent third parties if that would prompt reprisals. It means not providing detailed information that would help terrorists attack a public institution.
Organizations like The New York Times are serious about vetting their stories. I am not so sure Assange or WikiLeaks has the same concern.
Public support for this form of whistleblower journalism will turn swiftly against it should future releases lead to the death of a third party, or lead to a terrorist attack. The best way to retain support for a free press is to act responsibly, and to be seen to be acting so.
Is 'responsibility' a declining idea?
From an ethical perspective, what is significant about the emergence of WikiLeaks is not only that new technology allows citizens to gather and publish secret material globally, and these online publishers are difficult to control.
What is significant is that enthusiasm for revealing secrets undermines the idea of responsibility — the responsible use of the freedom to publish.
In a WikiLeaks world, the principle of minimizing harm, first articulated by professional journalism in the previous century for another media era, may be dwindling in importance.
Up to this point, the release of WikiLeaks documents has followed a pattern: WikiLeaks supplies the secret data to major papers and professional journalists vet and write the stories. In the future, however, the role of responsible news outlets may decline.
As new websites spring up, each pursuing their ends with the passion of activists, the idea of a free and responsible press may come to seem irrelevant. The idea of ethically restraining the freedom to publish may recede into the rear view mirror of history.
I hope not.

We have been refining our FSR suspension linkage for over 20 years. Much of the fine-tuning comes from pivot location and construction. Additional "magic" occurs from the linkage's highly valuable interaction with the shock, which connects the rear-end to the rest of the bike. Several years ago, our MTB Team and engineers designed the ManFu Link—a unique way to connect the shock to the suspension linkage by wrapping around the seat tube. The ManFu Link features a couple of important attributes:
Allows our frames designers and engineers to place pivot points, as well as the shock, in optimal locations.
We achieve greater flexibility in frame design and layout.
The ManFu is specifically the "shock extension." The alloy link at the end of the shock that looks similar to a glorious moustache, the "Fu Manchu."
Ultimately, this makes for beneficial and functional features, like uninterrupted seat tubes, shorter and stiffer seat stays, and better shock sensitivity—all of which boost the already awesome ride!The ManFu design has found its way onto nearly all of our FSR bikes, allowing riders to experience the benefits of optimized suspension performance, and the structural stiffness riders demand with full use of an uninterrupted seat tube.
Other brands have seen the advantage of the ManFu Link, and have begun utilizing on their suspension mountain bikes. We have licensed our ManFu technology to those manufacturers to bring the benefits to those whom matter most: the riders.

Anybody who has experienced back pain knows that they will do just about anything to relieve their discomfort and fortunately, there are many options available for patients suffering from back ailments.
If you have been experiencing lower back pain, you should schedule an appointment with a chiropractor. Your chiropractor will want to interview you and do an examination first to ensure that they fully understand your condition as well as any limitations that you may be having. After this assessment is complete, one treatment that they may suggest is a therapeutic adjustment.
Therapeutic adjustments are also called spinal or chiropractic manipulation and is a conventional technique that chiropractors use to treat lower back pain. An adjustment involves moving vertebrae that are not moving properly or have abnormal movement. These changes to your spine can move the vertebrae back into place or help to correct the movement that is causing you discomfort.
Adjustments typically involve short and fast arm thrusts along the vertebrae. These thrusts may cause an audible cracking sound when gas is released from the joint. These gases can include oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide. The release of these gases can also be accompanied by the reduction of pressure within the spine.
Patients often feel an immediate improvement in their pain levels and ability to move. Some minor discomfort has been reported, but it is typically associated with back muscles that are tense and is usually short-lived.
While you may expect your joints to "crack," it doesn't always happen, which can be due to a tense patient. Your chiropractor may suggest using ice, having you rest, or using electrical stimulation and massage in order to reduce the tension in your back.
Most patients feel reduced pain or tension levels in their back and spinal column immediately following treatment. When patients feel pain, it is usually associated with muscle pain and when appropriately treated, the effects of muscle pain can be reduced in a matter of hours.
Several studies have shown that chiropractic patients experience mild to moderate pain relief following an adjustment. In fact, chiropractors have been shown to be as effective as many other methods of pain relief for the back, such as sleeping on a firm mattress, taking pain medication, or applying heat therapies.
If you are considering a chiropractic visit to help alleviate your back pain, it is a good idea to check with your chiropractic office as well as your insurance to make sure that it is a covered expense. Chiropractic care is considered a complementary and alternative medicine and while most health insurances (Medicare, workers' compensation, some Medicaid plans, Blue Cross and Blue Shield, much active duty and veteran military facilities) cover chiropractic adjustments, the qualifications or limitations of your treatment can vary greatly. So, before you get stuck with an unexpected bill, be sure to get clarification.
Chiropractic adjustments can be a significant and effective form of treatment for lower back pain. While there may be many causes of a sore back, chiropractic care can help to diagnose these issues and offer some possible remedies. If your chiropractor can fix your pain, the adjustments are usually quick office visits that can be completed during a lunch break.
Additionally, the side effects of a chiropractic adjustment are much smaller than alternative medications. Therapeutic adjustments also cost less than some of the other alternative treatment options, especially if your insurance considers it a covered option. If you are experiencing back pain, it is a good idea to schedule an appointment with your chiropractor as soon as possible since receiving rapid care can help reduce the amount of time it takes to return to a pain-free lifestyle.

Herbal Teas
- Avoid teas with too many volatile oils (ex. sage, peppermint, chamomile, and St.-John's-Wort), which can alter the microorganism balance in the Kombucha culture over time (1, p. 25)
- Used for their medicinal properties and for individuals who want to avoid caffeine (1, p. 25)

- Bing (1928) "describes the Kombucha culture as a community of living things which are particularly adapted to a nutrient milieu rich in purine, and which need this rich supply of purine to maintain their metabolism." (1, p. 28). Black tea contains this necessary purine (1, p. 29).
- According to Bing, the tannin content of the tea also affects the formation of the zoogloea (the new baby mushroom that form at the surface) (1, p. 28)
- Herbal teas contain higher amounts of volatile oils and phenol than black tea. And because the volatile oils float to the surface where the new baby mushrooms grow, they can destroy/inhibit bacteria in the Kombucha culture and change the culture's composition (1, p. 29)
- Herbal teas contain more germinal spores than black teas, which can "germinate in the warm nutrient solution" (1, p. 30)
- I typically enjoy using a combination of green and black teas in ratios of around 3:1 or 3:2. I also do brews using only black tea, such as only Ceylon, Darjeeling, or Assam tea.

Rights and Accountability 11 June 2014
In an attempt to justify its work servicing Israeli prisons and checkpoints, G4S has released what it calls an "independent review," absolving the company of complicity in war crimes committed by Israel.
G4S's desperation to shore up its failing reputation in the wake of boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign (BDS) successes against the company across Europe, South Africa and the US is evident, not just from the content of the report, but also in the choice of authors.
The report, "Human Rights Review of G4S Israel: Human Rights Report and Legal Opinion," is co-authored by two academics who both have a strong and visible pro-Israel stance.
Guglielmo Verdirame, who wrote the legal section of the report, is professor of international law at King's College, London.
In November 2012, as Israel was coming to the end of its eight day assault on Gaza, Verdirame wrote an article for BBC Online in which he defends Israel's vicious, sustained attack on a refugee population in legal terms.
Three weeks earlier, he had presented the same arguments, justifying Israel's right to "self-defense" against the stateless Palestinians, to a Zionist Federation event titled "Knowledge Seminar for Israel Advocates," which took place in London.
The seminar was publicized as being "aimed at grass-roots activists … to help fill in any gaps about core knowledge surrounding Israel, in order to help them to be able to advocate for Israel more effectively."
The core knowledge being provided by Verdirame to pro-Israel activists was on the subject of "the use of force by Israel under international law." His talk attempted to give legal sanction to Israel's attacks, not just on Gaza, but against Lebanon, Syria and in the Sinai.
Verdirame was no doubt invited to speak by the Zionist Federation because of his impeccable pro-Israel credentials. In September 2011, he had chaired a UK Lawyers for Israel roundtable discussion on the implications of the Palestinian bid for recognition as a state. On its website, UK Lawyers for Israel states that its aim is to "invoke laws and regulations to support Israel and oppose its enemies."
Blame and outrage
The report's other author, no doubt as carefully selected by G4S for the job as Verdirame, is Hugo Slim, a senior research fellow at the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict.
Slim, at the end of Israel's three week massacre in Gaza which took place during December 2008 and January 2009 and resulted in more than 1,400 Palestinian dead, wrote an opinion piece for the website Open Democracy. In this, the Oxford academic chosen by G4S to write the human rights section of its report, questions the "disproportionate degree of outrage" the suffering of the Palestinians "seems to provoke."
In September 2013, Slim was writing in outrage himself to his local newspaper, The Oxford Times, and to The Lancashire Telegraph, over advertisements both papers had carried for the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
The letters, both identical, condemn the MAP adverts for using a graphic which transposes Israel's apartheid wall in the occupied West Bank onto a street in Oxford.
Slim writes: "It is facile and misleading to pretend that checkpoints are as outrageous in Jerusalem as they would be in Oxford. The need for security for Israeli civilians is clear and Israel has the right to protect its citizens from indiscriminate Palestinian attacks."
He goes on to blame the Palestinians for what he claims is their role in not providing adequate medical care within the West Bank, leading to the need for Palestinians to cross checkpoints and seek medical help elsewhere. Blaming the Palestinians for their own occupation and the desperate consequences of it is a theme Slim takes up in his human rights review for G4S.
Zionist pedigree
The choice of Slim and Verdirame by G4S to author a report on its activities in the West Bank and Israel makes a mockery not only of the report's conclusions, but also of a company which thinks it can get away with hiring blatantly prejudiced academics to make those conclusions.
The full report has not even been released to the public. However, a selective 16-page summary of it was released online just one day before G4S's annual general meeting last week.
In concluding that "there is no case against G4S on the grounds of complicity with alleged war crimes committed by Israel," the G4S-commissioned report ignores the UN Global Compact, to which G4S is a signatory.
The compact requires that business enterprises should "comply with all applicable laws and respect internationally recognized human rights wherever they operate." It adds that businesses should seek to honor internationally recognized human rights and treat the risk of causing or contributing to gross human rights abuses as a legal compliance issue.
Unsurprisingly, given the Zionist pedigree of its authors, the report claims that G4S's work — in providing security systems to Israeli prisons where Palestinians, including children, are held without charge or trial, and in providing body scanners at the checkpoints which restrict Palestinian freedom of movement — is actually beneficial to the Palestinians.
For example, Slim writes about the "potentially positive impact of scanning equipment" at the checkpoints. "Scanners," he says, "reduce the risks to people's dignity and privacy from invasive personal search."
Similarly, the provision of closed circuit television and remote locking systems in the Israeli prisons where organizations such as Amnesty International and Unicef have documented torture, lead, according to Slim, to a "de-confliction of prison space" which is "understood to create a safer environment for prisoners."
Defending settlers
The report does not mention, of course, the death from torture in February 2013 of 33-year-old Palestinian Arafat Jaradat, who was killed in Israel's Megiddo prison. G4S-installed systems in that prison notably failed to create a "safer environment" for the father of two.
Nevertheless, the G4S report seems to be saying that Palestinians should be grateful for the company's role in their imprisonment and for their daily humiliation at checkpoints.
The report becomes even more farcical when it gives the "good reasons why engagement and association with the government of Israel is ethical for G4S."
These reasons are contained in a section headed "Palestinian Responsibility for Human Rights Risks."
In this section, Slim, true to previous form, demands that the world recognizes that the Palestinians — dispossessed, occupied and oppressed — are to blame, perhaps more than Israel, for their situation.
He writes: "Many of G4S's critics overlook the high level of Palestinian responsibility for the conflict and its security dynamics … Israeli systems of detention and movement restrictions … may be imperfect but they are not inherently wrong and they arise partly in response to Palestinian actions."
The report then goes on to defend G4S's work in the illegal Israeli settlements, where the company provides security for supermarkets, post offices, kindergartens and police stations.
Having dismissed the human rights of Palestinians, Slim writes: "A good case can be made that G4S equipment is being responsibly used to protect Israeli settlers who also have human rights as individuals, and rights to protection as civilians in an armed conflict."
Far from credible
For a human rights review, Slim's report is overtly political. He even brings in the Zionist's favorite cry of "delegitimization," writing that the campaign against G4S and other companies is a "key part of a wider strategy by the Palestinian solidarity movement to delegitimize the State of Israel."
And yet, despite the known pro-Israel biases of the authors and the ridiculous prejudices contained in the report, this review was presented to G4S shareholders as a credible and independent review of the firm's work in Israel and the occupied West Bank.
Throughout the annual general meeting, G4S chief executive, Ashley Almanza, and chairperson, John Connolly, referred to the report and its two authors as "respectable," "independent" and "credible."
By doing so, they undermined still further the credibility of their own company.
In one extraordinary exchange with a campaigner who, like other campaigners at the meeting, had bought a share in G4S in order to attend, Connolly appeared to claim that the legal opinion contained in the G4S report carried more validity than rulings by the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
The board was told by the campaigner: "According to the ICJ, the wall is illegal and therefore the provision of services to it is a breach of international law."
To which Connolly replied: "We have taken professional legal advice which is contained in our report, and that contradicts your analysis. The report hasn't found G4S's involvement in any breaches of human rights."
G4S on the ropes
The scale of G4S's denial, and its contempt for international law and Palestinian human rights, is breathtaking. But its presentation of this report, and its naïve expectation that the report will be taken seriously, is indicative of the extent to which the company is on the ropes over its Israeli contracts.
Just three days before the annual general meeting, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development announced that it would be investigating G4S for possible breaches of Palestinian human rights as a result of its Israeli prison contracts.
This was followed by a declaration from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that it was liquidating its entire stake in G4S.
The G4S board faced a grilling at its annual general meeting from campaigners, including representatives of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Stop G4S coalition and War on Want.
And while G4S continues to work with and for the Israeli occupation, these campaigners will continue to pile on the pressure. No amount of phony reports will stop that.

As President Donald Trump talked this week about banning "bump stocks" and curbing young people's access to guns, the gun owners and advocates who helped propel his political rise talked about desertion and betrayal.
Trump's flirtation with a set of modest gun control measures drew swift condemnation from gun groups, hunters and sportsmen who banked on the president to be a stalwart opponent to any new gun restrictions. In his pledge to make schools safer and curb gun violence after the massacre at a Florida high school, gun advocates see a weakening resolve from the man they voted for in droves and spent millions to elect.
"Out in the firearms community there is a great feeling of betrayal and abandonment, because of the support he was given in his campaign for president," Tony Fabian, president of the Colorado Sports Shooting Association, said Friday.
The comments highlight how little room the president and his party have to maneuver without angering and activating the politically powerful gun rights community. Trump has not yet formally proposed any legislative plan and he spent much of the week endorsing the notion of arming teachers and school officials — a plan the gun lobby supports. Still, just floating proposals that defy the National Rifle Association and other groups drew threats of political retribution and legal action.
The confrontation is set to test whether Trump, a figure deeply popular with his party's base, is willing to risk his political capital to take on a constituency few Republicans have challenged.
"The president has a unique ability right now to maybe really do something about these school shootings," said Rep. Tom Rooney, a Republican from Florida. "Nobody is more popular in my district — and I know in a lot of other people's districts — than Donald Trump. He's more popular than the NRA. ... So it's up to him whether or not anything happens with guns."
After 17 people were killed by a teenager, Trump declared that assault rifles should be kept out of the hands of anyone under 21. He endorsed more stringent background checks for gun buyers, and ordered his Justice Department to work toward banning rapid-fire "bump stock" devices.
U.S. & World
Gun Owners of America issued an alert earlier this week urging its 1.5 million members to call the White House and "Tell Trump to OPPOSE All Gun Control!" The organization said anti-gun activists aided by congressional Democrats are trying to convince the president he should "support their disastrous gun control efforts," the message said. "And sadly, it may be working."
Michael Hammond, legislative counsel for the Virginia-based group, said the organization doesn't hesitate to oppose Republican incumbents and candidates whom it deems not sufficiently "pro-gun." Motivating gun owners to go to the polls — not campaign funding — is the source of the gun lobby's strength, according to Hammond.
"When they feel gun ownership is threatened, then they're going to respond as if that's the pre-eminent issue," he said.
Paul Paradis, who owns a gun store in Colorado Springs, was enthusiastic about letting teachers carry firearms on campus. But he was incredulous about the notion of outlawing bump stocks and increasing the age requirement for buying a long gun.
"Trump can propose anything he wants but it's got to get through two houses of Congress and the Supreme Court," Paradis said.
Colorado has been a test case for the politics of gun control and the ability of gun groups to retaliate against those who vote for it. In 2013, after the Aurora theater shooting was followed by the elementary school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, Colorado's Democrat-controlled state legislature passed a package of gun restrictions, including universal background checks and a ban on magazines that hold more than 15 bullets.
Gun control advocates hoped to roll the program out to other states after showing a libertarian, Western state could pass the bills. But then the NRA backed successful recalls of two Democratic state lawmakers who backed the legislation. The momentum ended.
Democrats won back those seats in the 2016 election. Still, the message has lingered: Democrats have not proposed any major gun legislation since the recalls.
There are an estimated 55 million gun owners in the United States, according to a 2016 national survey conducted by Northeastern and Harvard universities.
The influential National Rifle Association, which spent about $30 million in support of Trump's presidential campaign, is firmly opposed to raising the legal age for the purchase of long guns from 18 to 21. After floating the idea earlier in the week, Trump declined to reiterate his proposal to increase age restrictions during wide-ranging remarks Friday before the Conservative Political Action Conference.
Trump's call to restrict bump stocks like the ones used in last year's Las Vegas massacre triggered outrage among gun owners. The devices allow a shooter's semi-automatic rifle to mimic a machine gun. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is conducting a review to determine if it can regulate bump stocks without action from Congress.
But several gun rights advocates said the answer is an unequivocal no. Only Congress has the power to make such a move. ATF has received thousands of comments as part of the review and many are from gun owners who see potential regulation as a slippery slope that will lead to administrative bans on triggers, magazines and even firearms themselves.
"If there was an art of the deal, then this would be a deal breaker," said Brandon Combs, president of the California-based Firearms Policy Coalition, making a reference to the title of Trump's 1987 book on business. The coalition said in a statement Tuesday that it would take legal action if necessary to resist Trump's "outrageous lawlessness."
"Gun owners have been burned too many times over the years," Combs said. "Politicians do whatever they want when they get into office."

We don't like taxes any more than anyone else. Unfortunately for many, last year's South Dakota v. Wayfair decision by the United States Supreme Court meant that more companies are going to have to charge state and local sales taxes in more jurisdictions. A number of factors have made us come to what we consider an unfortunate but necessary decision to begin collecting CA sales tax. Here's why we're doing it:
- We already had a number of suppliers that charged us sales tax to ship to various jurisdictions, and we simply ate the cost. The number doing so in California are increasing rapidly.
- Many institutional customers' require that they can show they are paying sales tax in order to avoid having to pay it themselves. If we don't collect it, and therefore don't bill it, tax is being double-paid. The customer is still liable to pay it, and additionally we're being charged it by our suppliers.
- We're right on the cusp of being legally liable to do so anyway, just based on our own sales volume. While here in New Hampshire we do have a bit of that "live free" mentality, for business purposes it's best to remain above board.
Here in New Hampshire we have no sales tax, so we're still figuring all this stuff out ourselves. We apologize to any of our customers in California who will be disappointed by the new laws. We liked it better when "tax nexus" was determined based on physical presence but hey - we don't make the rules.
As always, if you have any questions about past, present, or future business with us, just drop us a line.

This is a major Tjukurpa for Irrunytju (Wingellina) and across the central Australian deserts. The seven sisters travelled from Kaliwarra to Wannan in Western Australia, stopping at significant sites and rockholes including Kuru Ala, a sacred place for women. They encountered a lusƞul man named Wati Nyiru, who chased them around the desert. Some of the details of this Tjukurpa (Dreaming story) are sacred and can't be repeated.
Details currently unavailable
Ninuku Arts is a wholly-Indigenous owned and governed Art Centre which supports artists from two communities - Pipalyatjara and Kalka. Each have populations of around 100-150 Anangu and the majority are Pitjantjatjara speakers – Anangu simply means 'people' in Pitjantjatjara. Both communities are located in the far north-western corner of South Australia, near the tri-state border of South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory. The two communities, fourteen kilometres apart, are surrounded by the rolling, rocky hills of the Tomkinson Ranges and are part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Both Kalka and Pipalyatjara are peaceful places. This is a result of strong governance, cultural engagement and pride among local Anangu.
The Art Centre itself is located in Kalka and is housed in a mud-brick building (the only one in the Lands), which was built as an office in the early 1980's by Anangu and white staff, and has since been extended to accommodate the growing number of artists keen to paint. A silver bullet caravan (formerly a mobile health unit) is also located on site, and has become a place for some artists to paint, mostly during the winter months while the morning sun warms the deck. Despite being the most remote art centre on the APY Lands, having limited working space and access to services, Ninuku Arts has continued to grow in success with each year. The artist's commitment to both the art centre and painting is unflappable. The art centre prides itself on its inclusivity (providing opportunities for all generations) and embracing individuality in artists.

These are what we call the "ouch" mistakes… the ones that make anyone with an editing background cringe or close the window or put down the book. These are the one that will lose you business, writing or blogging credibility. These are the ones that will sabotage even your best efforts to brand yourself or your business.
Table of Contents
Mary's Top 10 List of Common Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation Mistakes
10. "Fewer" vs. "Less"
If you can count the items, use 'fewer': If I eat fewer calories, I will lose weight. With fewer employees, we will not be able to provide good customer service.
If you can't count the items, use 'less': We need to concentrate on less expired inventory.
9. "Their own"; "My own"
If it's already yours, then adding the word 'own' is redundant (i.e. you're using two words to say the same thing), for example:
Incorrect: It was my own idea.
Correct: It was my idea.
8. "Irregardless"
No such word! Adding "ir" in front of "regardless" is completely redundant. "Regardless" is the correct word and the only correct word.
7. "I.e." vs. "E.g."
This applies primarily to academic, business or formal writing; rarely to fiction. But, it's important to know the difference if you really want your writing to shine.
I.E. means "that is". If you use 'i.e.' it means you are referring to something specific and unique: There were only two possibilities (i.e. house arrest or imprisonment). If there are any other possibilities, you cannot use 'i.e.' and should use 'e.g.'.
E.G. means "for example". This is for giving examples to support your statement: There were a number of possibilities (e.g. house arrest, suspended sentence, probation or imprisonment). If you use 'e.g.' NEVER put 'etc.' at the end of the list. Putting 'etc.' at the end is redundant when you've already used e.g.
6. "Which" vs. "That"
Without getting into the details of grammatical constructions, the simplest rule is this: If you have a phrase that uses 'which', it must be preceded by a comma. For example:
Correct: The Himalayas, which feature the tallest mountain peaks in the world, have killed many an ill-prepared climber.
Incorrect: This was a time which he barely remembered.
Correct: This was a time that he barely remembered.
(Note: Many writers no longer include 'that', as a way of smoothing the flow of the sentence (i.e. the way we talk). But, American English still clings to 'that', so it pays to know the difference, depending on which market you are writing for.)
Comment: Are we having fun with English yet??
5. "Your" vs. "You're"
Now we're getting to the teeth-grinding errors; the ones that just drive me away from a website or blog and on to better reading pastures!
"Your" is a possessive. Period. It is your book, your blog, your web site.
"You're" is a contraction of "You are": You're right; You're certain it's true?
4. "Lead" vs. "Led"
Thanks to automated spellcheckers, many people believe that 'lead' is the past tense of the verb 'to lead'. The correct past tense is 'led'. I know, the past tense of 'to read' is 'read'. Welcome to English rules/counter-rules!
3. "Their" and "They're"
"Their" is a possessive: Rick and Chantal love their new car.
"They're" is a contraction of 'they are': They're both worried about their son's grades.
2. "Too" and "To"
"Too" means 'as well'. I want to come, too. I'd like a cookie, too.
"To" is a verb. I want to do this. I'd like to read this, too.
Not all writers add a comma before 'too' but in novel writing, it is often the case, depending on your copy editor.
1. "Its" vs. "It's"
And this is the game changer… if you don't get this, I don't read your blog or your book, let alone buy it:
"It's" a no-brainer! "It's" is short for "it is". If you read a sentence out loud and 'it is' is the way it should be spoken… guess what? It's an it's!
"Its" is a possessive: The company president is concerned that its annual report won't be popular with the shareholders.
These days, there has been an exponential increase in the number of web sites and blogs trying to attract traffic and volume. People with great ideas and products can quickly fall by the wayside if they're not paying attention to their spelling, grammar, punctuation and what I would call 'flow'.
Big hint? When you're writing that one-hour 500-word article, take three extra minutes and read it out loud. You will catch awkward wording, incorrect spelling, etc. very quickly and it could make a world of difference to building your image and reputation online. JMHO.
Note from Chris: Mary made a comment below one of my posts, and thanks to her help, my article "How to Write an Article in Less Than One Hour – 10 Useful Tips" is corrected and written in proper English. What's more, she agreed to write this helpful article for us.

Belotero® products almost do not differ from similar ones regarding the basis of an agent: the active component is purified non-animal hyaluronic acid and phosphate buffer to maintain the normal acid-base balance of the dermis.

Belotero® monophasic bio correctors are manufactured using a specially developed CPM technology, a Cohesive Polyamide Matrix. This method makes it possible to obtain a substance with areas of high and low density, due to which gels provide a long-term result and at the same time are easily injected, having a well-predicted effect.

Radishes are rich in Vitamins C and A. They are also contain cancer-protective properties and help to maintain a healthy gallbladder and liver, and improve in digestion.
Radishes can be used in many ways. They can be used in the soups, curry etc. Even the leaves possess lot of health benefits and can be used to make yummy dal, like I did "Radish Leaves Dal". I wanted to try a different way to cook the radish roots or bulbs. As we like the pickles so much, I thought of making Radish Chutney. So I did it.
Red Radishes |
- 10 radishes
- 2 tsp Coriander Seeds
- 3 tsp Black Gram (Minappappu, Urad Dal)
- 1 tsp Tamarind Pulp
- ½ tsp Asafetida
- 5 dry Red Chilies
- ¼ tsp Fenugreek Seeds (Menthulu)
- ½ tsp Turmeric Powder
- 3 tsp Oil
- Salt to taste
- ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
- ¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
- ½ tsp Bengal Gram
- ½ tsp Black Gram
- Some Curry Leaves
- 1 tsp Oil
- Wash the radishes well and cut them into medium pieces.
- In a pan heat the oil and add the coriander seeds along with the fenugreek seeds and black gram. Fry well for some time till they become golden brown in color and finally add the red chilies and fry. Transfer them into a plate and let cool.
- Add the chopped radishes to the pan along with the turmeric and asafetida and fry till they turn little brown. Turn off the flame and let the radishes cool.
- When the contents become cool, grind them into a fine paste by adding little water, tamarind pulp and the salt. Don't add too much water, as the chutney should have a thick consistency.
Goes well with rice, chapathis, idlis and dosas too.

I took my new-to-me 1960s Hawaiian maxi out for a whirl last Saturday evening.
Show-stopping colours, aren't they?
I went round to Tracey's for dinner with three other friends - Thai green curry, delicious!
And I made a start on the Task of the Summer, a house tidy up/clear out, by donating a lot of clothes which I never wear to Trace for her work wardrobe - she's got a new job!
1960s maxi dress (vintage fair), bangles and hair flower (charity shopped), Fly wedge sandals (retail, several years ago)
So that was sunny Saturday; this is today.
Yep, back in tights and boots...
... and umbrella.
Inspirational colours.
1970s dress (Ebay), tights, cardigan, beads, bracelets (charity shopped), boots (Second to None)
Jess found an alternative use for an umbrella - keeping one's fluffy bum off the wet grass.
Where did the sun go? I want summer back now please!

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick is attempting an NFL comeback, but whether he would sit or stand for the national anthem is still not confirmed.
Earlier on Sunday, CBS' Jason La Canfora said on CBS' NFL pregame show that Kaepernick would stand for the national anthem. But later on Sunday, La Canfora clarified his statement saying that the two did not discuss the issue when the two talked late on Saturday.
"Colin would have to address any future demonstrations," La Canfora tweeted Sunday afternoon. "I didn't ask him if he would sit or stand. Our chat primarily about his will to play"
It appears that La Canfora was referring to a previous report from ESPN in March claiming that Kaepernick would stand for the national anthem. Kaepernick has not directly confirmed those reports.
Kaepernick sparked a series of protests by NFL players upset by police brutality and racial inequality.
Sunday's news comes on the same day Vice President Mike Pence walked out of an NFL game in Indianapolis because members of Kaepernick's former team took a knee during the national anthem.
La Canfora said Kaepernick is working out everyday in New Jersey, throwing passes and going to the gym, La Canfora reported.
But finding work in the NFL has been challenging for Kaepernick as many have claimed that his protests have caused NFL front officers to shy away from the quarterback. This week, the Tennessee Titans tried out several veteran quarterbacks to fill an empty roster spot. Kaepernick was not considered for the spot.
