In this post, we explain our concept of SORAnomic Fair Taxation derived entirely from Book 5, Chapter 2 of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. The taxation of modern Economics suffers from the fact that (1) taxes are imposed not on where they are meant to be and (2) that taxes must only be paid in money. The first one creates an obvious economic injustice while the second one creates an indirect injustice by forcing the taxpayer into the role of a merchant as he has to sell his product or service for money (which may not be his primary skill). We correct this by levying taxes directly on the people's revenue and by allowing tax payment in kind, through a system called Shared Direct Taxation or simply 'SORAnomic Fair Taxation'.
Smith's system is based on the idea that wealth is not measured in money, but instead in the quality and quantity of goods and services available to a person. This is different from current Economics which measures everything in units of money. Nowadays, GDP, Taxes, and Prices are measured in money. Smith says 'no, prices must be valued in terms of real objects.' For example, instead of dollars which is a fiat thing, everything can be measured in terms of Big Macs, which is a real thing. In this way, everyone can know the real value of their stuff because everyone knows the value of a Big Mac.
A commodity that always varies in value can never be an accurate measure of the value of other commodities. Book 1, Chapter 5
In our system, the value of a thing produced in Switzerland would be relative to the same thing produced in South Korea, and so the real values between any country (and thus their real wealth or poverty) can be measured accurately.
The natural limitations of human cognition created a problem in every country's taxation system because the government could not know the real value produced or traded by each person:
The impossibility of taxing people according to their revenue by any capitation led to the invention of taxes on consumable commodities. The state, not knowing how to directly and proportionally tax the revenue of its subjects, taxes it indirectly by taxing their expence. Their expence is supposed to be proportional to their revenue. Book 5, Chapter 2
The problem with taxing consumables is that a single merchant can have a lot of customers and it would still be impossible to log the purchases of everyone. So instead of taxing the buyer directly, natural limitations led to governments to tax the merchant. However, this created the possibility of fraud since tax collection was 'outsourced' to few individuals (merchants):
The goods may be taxed while they remain with the dealer before they are delivered to the consumer. Goods which are consumed immediately are taxed this way.
The bounties sometimes given on the exportation of home produce and manufactures, and the drawbacks paid on the re-exportation of most foreign goods, have created many frauds, and smuggling. To obtain the bounty or drawback, the goods are sometimes sent to sea then clandestinely re-landed in another part of the country.
Nowadays, this commercial system of taxation produces frauds easily when the merchants or companies misrepresent their revenues and more commonly by 'smuggling' the money into tax havens, which in essence are the same problems Smith described.
Since the problem of tax injustice is caused by natural limitations, we use technology to get around it, in the same way that airplanes lift up humans who are naturally not meant to fly. We do this by placing the entire economic system online so that each buyer and seller will have a user account of which all its actions can be recorded in a database and known by the server. This will allow real-time personal traceability of any economic action, allowing any tax to be imposed on the person directly.
For example, each tax can be split between two parties to spread the risk of non-payment and so that the tax burden will be lighter.
The real advantage of this system of taxation is that barter trades can be taxed fairly, which is useful for people without money or those not engaged in the mercantile trade or buying and selling. In contrast, taxation by the IRS mandates that even barter be taxed in the fair market value measured in currency.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative illness affecting movement. The symptoms begin progressively, oftentimes beginning with a hardly visible tremor in one of the joints. Parkinsonian tremors are frequent, but this illness also usually causes stiffness and slowness of movement. Patients in earlier stages may experience soft or slurred speech, lack of mobility while walking, along with many other symptoms.
Whilst the symptoms and early warning signs may vary from case to case, but most common of them include:
- Speech changes;
- Issues with posture and balancing;
- Tremor;
- Stiff muscles;
- Loss of unconscious movements.
There is now no known cause of Parkinson's but there are several things that play a pivotal role in its development:
- Genes;
- Environmental triggers;
Risk factors for this illness include:
- It usually develops from the age of 60.
- Having a family member with PD raises the chances of developing this illness.
- Males are far more likely to suffer from PD.
- Toxic exposure. Continuous exposure to the likes of weedkillers and pesticides can increase your chances of developing PD.
Additional problems (i.e. complications) include:
- Cognitive issues;
- Mood swings;
- Sleep issues;
- Bladder control issues;
- Pain in shoulders, neck, and various other parts of the body.
- Constipation.
Even though Parkinson's disease cannot be cured completely, there are drugs that relieve the symptoms. The most popular drug for patients with this illness is Dostinex, its main aim is replacing dopamine which is severely lacking in patients with the illness. Low levels of dopamine make patients experience tremors, have imperfect control of their bodies. Dostinex is among dopamine receptor agonist medication, which means it stimulates receptors/nerves in the brain, which helps relieve your symptoms.
Prevention methods are unclear because the cause is undetermined, but there are several things that possibly decrease the risk of developing this disease, including:
- Caffeine;
- Regular exercise.

Previously, I mentioned about this $50K or $100K survey. Even though the statistical sample is confined to Harvard, the results represents quite accurately the mentality in our society. Aren't we always comparing who has the flashier car or bigger house?
My wife and I will rather have the $100,000 because we have never been interested in keeping up with the Joneses. If you can make more money than me and enjoy fine dining, shopping, staying in 5-star hotels every day, so be it.
Coming home from a hard day's work and then spending time with my wife is more important, rather than chasing for more money by taking on another sideline job. I am satisfied when my current job allows me to afford simple indulgences without going into debts.
Fortunately, we did not adopt an extravagant lifestyle, even during the rolling good times when our household income inflated. Hence, there are less drastic adjustments for us to make in this recession.
Nevertheless, the survey caused me to think deeper about money, especially in this bloody period of deleveraging and wealth destruction. Why do we crave for money? Where we do draw the line and say we have enough money for a lifetime?
For a lot of us, the more money the better. I guess this boils down to our insatiable desire for status. After all, we like to judge ourselves by what others have and not what we need.
How do you feel about money? Do you think money and status are related? Does it stoke your ego to be able to spend more money than your neighbor?

Happy Thanksgiving! I've been thinking a lot lately about how when we stop to think about what we're grateful for, our thoughts tend to automatically turn to those who don't have those things. When I am grateful for a warm house as the weather gets colder, I think of those who don't have heat or even a home. When I am grateful for my health, family or employment, I can't help but feel for those who are struggling in those areas. I think that's why Thanksgiving and Christmas are so intertwined for many of us – there's almost a seamless transition from giving thanks to giving gifts.
At the beginning of October, I heard the following sermon on helping the poor by Jeffrey R. Holland during the LDS General Conference and was moved to loud, ugly-cry-sobbing tears as he reminded us that, "the great Redeemer has issued no more persistent call than for us to join Him in lifting this burden from the people."
"In our day, the restored Church of Jesus Christ had not yet seen its first anniversary when the Lord commanded the members to 'look to the poor and … needy, and administer to their relief that they shall not suffer.' (Doctrine and Covenants 38:35) Note the imperative tone of that passage—'they shall not suffer.' That is language God uses when He means business."
Without specifying exactly how we should go about helping the poor, he urged us to "do what we can." I thought about what I could do and we discussed as a family ways we could do more. But for the rest of the month I kept remembering this talk and I became very aware of how often I indulge myself just because I think I deserve it.
You know that conversation you have in your mind as you pull up to the drive-thru? "It's been a long day and I've worked so hard. I totally deserve this Oreo Blizzard, Lime Rickey or Costa Vida mango chicken salad." I know it's not terrible to treat myself once in a while, but lately I've noticed a pattern of overindulgence.
Same goes for weeknights when making dinner for the family seems impossible, especially with a drive thru Little Caesar's Pizza a few blocks away. Or weekends when going out to eat is the date night activity of choice almost every week. After a combined nine years of grad school-induced frugality, we feel entitled to treat ourselves once in a while, but we haven't really been trying to think of less expensive alternatives.
Mormons observe Fast Sunday once a month by fasting for 24 hours and then donating what they would have spent on food to the church specifically to distribute to the less fortunate. As I thought about what I could do this month to express my gratitude, practice some restraint, and find my own way to give to those who don't have the luxury to indulge, I decided to have my own "fast" for the month of November. I would avoid eating out at restaurants and donate the money I saved to the food bank.
As I thought about how I would pull it off, I realized it all came down to planning.The first Saturday of the month, I prepared by making nine freezer meals to have on hand for those crazy (or lazy) nights I would usually be tempted to get pizza. I planned dates for us that wouldn't require eating out. I thought ahead and packed a lunch if I knew I wouldn't be home in time. And I stopped telling myself I deserved a treat for every little thing I accomplished.
Full disclosure: I did eat out twice this month – once with some friends since the get-together had been planned for several weeks, and once for a family party to celebrate my brother-in-law's Iron Man finish. Both worthy exceptions to my otherwise restaurant-free month, I thought.
I was amazed that it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. And I was even more amazed to discover just how much money I saved. Plus, as an unintended but not surprising bonus, I lost five pounds this month, although judging from the number of pies I just made, I might gain them all back today.

With 384 000 inhabitants, Nice is the 5th
biggest city in France. In France Nice is definitely the city of
artists, writers and musicians.
But it is also a perfect city for young people (Nice welcomes every
year more than 25 000 students). Because of its proximity with Italy,
Nice has a unique culture and a old and strong history. Thanks to
its position (south of France), Nice has a very enjoyable sunny
weather. This allows people to have many outdoor activities and
especially water sports because beaches are a few minutes from the
town centre. But Nice is not only a city people enjoys to live in,
it is as well a dynamic city in the services industry. Tourism industry
is Nice's first activity, but the city invested a lot in the research.
Nice is very well connected in terms of logistics with the second
international airport in France and 5 railway stations. And thanks
to its growing market, Nice can offer plenty of part-time jobs to

The center of an urban area of more than 100,000
inhabitants, Chamb¨¦ry is situated between the Bauges
massif and the Chartreuse mountain range, in the cluse that bears
its name. To the south the town stretches out to the vineyards on
the hillsides of the Combe of Savoie ; to the north it almost reaches
the shores of Lake Bourget ¡ª France's largest natural
In former centuries the growth of Chamb¨¦ry
was closely related to the fortune of the House of Savoie ¡ª
one of Europe's oldest ruling families dating from the 11th century.
From 1295 to 1563 the Savoies elected the town as their capital
mainly because of its situation at he crossroads of the Alpine traffic
between France, Italy and Switzerland. Nowadays with the setting
up of the French-Italian company "Lyon-Turin Ferroviaire"
in charge of the international part of the route Chamb¨¦ry
is the hub of the new Lyon-Turin rail link project.
Communication facilities are at the root of
Chamb¨¦ry's sound economic resources. Traditionally an
administrative and commercial center, the town has taken advantage
of the surge connected with the 1992 Winter Olympics of Albertville
and of Savoie to strengthen its position and assert its role as
Alpine heartland of Europe.

When the famous French novelist Victor Hugo
wrote "Ce que Paris conseille, l'Europe le m¨¦dite
; ce que Paris commence, l'Europe le continue" (What Paris
advises, Europe carefully considers about it,what Paris begins,
Europe continues it), he probably sums up how the city of Paris
has an important place in the world history.
Paris and the tourism. First european spot, Paris hosts millions
of tourist from all over the world every year. The history of this
Roma-era founded city charms the visitor, and the inheritance for
centuries of art, culture and history left famous monuments, a cosmopolitan
atmosphear, a unique art of living. From the Tour Eiffel to Montmartre
district, people will enjoy this life which perfectly sums up the
French Touch.
Art and Fashion are another reason why people are attracted by Paris.
As a capital of Art, Paris has hosted thousand of artists from all
over the world and has always showed open minded to all the different
trend and it is the origin of lot of new art school in painting,
music, cinema. From the Jazz in Saint-Germain to the oil painting
in montmartre, every district of Paris is a village with a warm
and unique atmosphear.
Christian Dior? Louis Vuitton? Place Vandome? do those names ring
a bell? Capital of Elegance, Paris offers to the world the best
of the Fashion and Luxury. The spirit which live in Paris is the
one which is looking for the perfect beauty. This way of living
is not only in the fashion show or the Champ Elysee but all around
Paris from the little grocery store in Barbes to the Gallerie LaFayette.
With a total population of more than 10 millions inhabitants and
a GDP per habitant of 39000 euros (to compare, the GDP of London
is only 33000 euros), Paris remains one of the most attractive european
city. 60000 eutrepreneurs set up a company every year and 100 000
euros of added value per job, Paris is the most dynamic euro-region.
If Paris is crowded touristic spot, it is also a influencial business
center. La Defense with its shinnies skycrapers is the biggest european
decision center in Europe, Paris Charles de Gaulle is the first
european Hub, Bourse de Paris and its index CAC 40 is the hugest
stock exchange of the Euro Zone, all those examples prove the determinant
role in the european economy.

The Bachelors of Business Administration
INSEEC was founded in 1975 in Bordeaux and
extended to Paris in 1983. From its date of creation, the school
has pointed out that the international dimension of business is
unavoidable, that the strength of the diploma depends on being able
to prove professional abilities, that firms need cultivated, autonomous
executives, who are able to work in a team, and manage people efficiently.
In Paris, INSEEC and its students benefit of the vitality of the
Beyond the acquisition of the subjects preparing to professional
firm management, INSEEC, since its creation in 1975, supports its
teaching by two main ideas: A constant development of general knowledge
and international openness and A regular work on the project and
professional skills.
The school welcomes each year more than 3000 students and about
100 foreign students.
Teaching method and additional
Despite the casual teaching, INSEEC has developed its
own philosophy of teaching method. That's the reason
why INSEEC's students have a course called "culture
and method" where they meet some philosophers,
writers, politicians, historians... During those courses,
the students have the oportunity to argue, develop their
own thinking and learn how to express it.
INSEEC also organises some workshops where the students
are coached in order to get the best professional behaviour.
Added to real experiences such as internships, students
learn how to behave and how to think as profesionnals.
The teaching also makes full use of the latest technological
ressources. The business market is always evolving and
its tools as well. Knowing the tools and their evolution
is part of the course at INSEEC.

international business
Sine its foundation in 1982, IFAM business
school have tried to develop an education scheme based on the meeting
of two strong academic standards : USA and France. IFAM is at the
middle point of this exciting challenge : Promoting American management
education in the leading European country.
Ideally located in the heart of paris, IFAM Business Shool benefits
of the exceptional business as well as cultural melting pot offered
by one of the most dynamic European main cities.
The programs, whether undergraduate (BBA) or graduate (MBA), attract
students from all over the world. All our students take advantage

IFAM Business School has always intended to develop the future managers
of international leading companies. Today, more than 2400 alumni
are working in many different fields (banking, advertising, luxury
marketing, consulting,...) in many different countries (USA, India,
China, Argentina, France...)
Since its beginning, in early
80¡¯s, IFAM is using Case Study approach
to encourage discussions about best practices and problem-solving
Unlike more statistically-based studies which search
for quantifiable data, the goal of a case study is to
offer new variables and questions for further research.
In addition to the practical application and testing
of scholarly knowledge, case discussions can also help
students to be prepared for real-world problems, situations
and crises by providing an approximation of professional
An obvious advantage to this mode of instruction is
that it allows students the exposure to settings and
contexts that they might not otherwise experience.

Welcome to The Arsenal Ticket Exchange service, where season ticket holders that are unable to attend a game can sell their tickets to fellow Arsenal members or transfer them to family or friends.
Click here to use this service
Selling a Ticket on Ticket Exchange
Season ticket holders unable to attend a game can make their ticket available once the match is sold out via the Ticket Exchange Service (subject to restrictions*).
Upon a buyer being found and a sale being made, your membership card will be disabled for the game while the buyer's membership card will be activated. The credit for the ticket sale (less a 10% administrative charge) will be deducted from the cost of your season ticket renewal or the funds can be withdrawn throughout the season using the Cashback service during the allotted timeslots advertised below.
Benefits of Selling a Ticket on Ticket Exchange:
• Better ticket availability for Red and Silver level members. Last season over 87,000 tickets were made available via this service.
• Using this service enables season ticket holders the opportunity to seek financial return on their season ticket.
• Tickets for European competitions can be sold on Ticket Exchange. This excludes ticket holders who are currently relocated due to UEFA requirements.
• An interactive seat map will display all available tickets in one location, and simplifies the booking process for Silver and Red level members as we have created an environment which makes it easy to view available seats.
• Platinum and Gold Members who cannot attend a game now have the ability to sell their ticket electronically to a Member of their choice once a fixture has officially sold out.
• The Exchange provides members a secure and convenient service to resell tickets to fellow members.
• We hope that this service will assist us in our objectives of eradicating the unauthorised and illegal sale of tickets through touts.
Transfer a Ticket with Ticket Exchange
Ticket Transfer gives Gold and Platinum Members the ability to electronically transfer their ticket to a game they cannot attend to a family member or friend – once the fixture has sold out.*
Once the Member has transferred their ticket to a fan via their online account and the recipient has accepted the transfer the recipient will print a coupon at home which will provide them access to the Stadium. The membership card of the Member will then be deactivated for the fixture.
Benefits of Transferring a Ticket on Ticket Exchange:
• Transfer your ticket directly to a family member or friend of your choice and save yourself the trouble of having to hand over your membership card
• Always feel comfortable in knowing who is sitting in your seat on a Matchday
• Always make sure your seat is filled so the crowd stay loud and proud
• Assist us in our objectives of eradicating the unauthorised and illegal sale of tickets through touts.
The Cashback Service (Enhancements to The Ticket Exchange)
The Cashback service will be available throughout each season during designated time slots. Cashback can be used by Platinum and Gold members and provides an additional way of reimbursing Members who have accrued monies via Ticket Exchange by withdrawing the proceeds of successful seats sold via Ticket Exchange and transferred in to your chosen bank account.
The Cashback service will be available each month from September during the season and the withdrawal periods will be advertised below throughout the season.

The L'Oréal designed anti-wrinkle line that defies the effects of the laser
Many women after pregnancy notice that their skin is no longer the same.Hesitation, fatigue and lack of time, among other things, result in more than obvious signs. In my case: dehydrated skin, aged and mostly extinguished. Ready to put an end to my problem, I tried the new treatment L'Oréal Paris: Revitalift Laser X3 , the first anti-wrinkle injections that challenges the effectiveness of the laser. More hydration, less lines of expression and more light, just what I needed!
Although we have a fast life train, we try to take time from where we can to do sport, we are aware of its importance and we care for food to be healthier, but why does it cost us so much to pamper our skin? Clearly my face tells my experience, my day to day, my history. How much I have neglected these months without the right products and good habits of beauty.
After this month, I am sure that I have found a treatment that meets my demands, I know because within a few days of trying it I noticed, my skin changed. I tell you my beauty ritual step by step:
• First: Revitalift X3 Laser Serum
In the morning after the shower and with a clean face I apply the serum. A product of light texture, white with a pearl pink touch and pleasant smell that melts to perfection and is absorbed in seconds. Within a few days of using it the pores had been refined and the skin was smoother, soft and beautiful. A new skin effect.
• I continue with … the day cream Revitalift Laser X3
Serum prepares my skin for the treatment cream. A product of soft and creamy texture that leaves the skin velvety and very comfortable. I started to notice improvement in the expression wrinkles a week, especially in the forehead and eyes. This is thanks to the high concentration of their assets that are key in the recovery of the skin.
• Finally, the Revitalift X3 Laser Eye Corrector
When I spend bad night with my baby it shows. The "crow's feet", the bags, the sadness in the eyes … the eyes betray me! In addition, the long days in front of the computer and the mobile make it worse. After the serum and day cream, I wait a few minutes before applying the eye cream. The Revitalift X3 Corrector is a smooth, smooth, non-greasy texture that is absorbed quickly. With the applicator massage the area and just extend the necessary product, the metal gives a very nice cold effect. As the days passed, I noticed the wrinkles, less bags and the skin of the eye contour more tense.
• At night?? The Revitalift Laser X3 Mask Effect Mask
To complete my facial care routine I apply the Revitalift Laser X3 face mask at night and face. What I like the most, its ultra-fine texture that releases all its assets during the night without realizing it. When I wake up I notice my skin is smooth and fresh. Perfect for a new day.
After a month using Revitalift Laser X3 I am very happy with the results, my skin is much firmer and moisturized . I have delicate skin, some products behind left me granites and redness and from what I see, this treatment is not invasive. I admit that I have ever tried laser and light pulsed by the theme of the spots, but honestly, I prefer to use a cream that does not hurt my skin and get the same results. It is an equally effective and more economical alternative.
Do you want to know which beauty product is best for you?
Knowing it is not easy, but once you find it, it becomes your best ally. That is why L'Oréal has created for all of us the meetings ? Because my skin is worth it ?? Directed by skin expert L'Oréal Paris, Monica Ceño . She has a great experience in beauty and image and now she wants to share it with all the women advising them to find their proper treatment. If you want to solve all your doubts, do not miss it, join the next meeting ! Do not miss out on the chance to find the cream that will get the best of you.

here) after church yesterday. Unfortunately, we had one of those nights, and she only had 4 1/2 hours of sleep on Saturday night. When I got her dressed for church, we were running late and there was no time for a photo session. On the way home, my sleep-deprived little girl fell asleep hard and stayed asleep for a much-needed 1 1/2 hours. When she woke up - cranky, mind you - she couldn't understand why Mommy wanted to take pictures of her instead of feeding her lunch. Bribing her with goldfish was the only way I could even get her to stand up! Sometimes you take what you can get.
When I tried the dress on her on Saturday, I realized the sleeve length was the tiniest bit too short. So I improvised and added a ruffle (about 1") to the sleeve ends. Now there's a bit of growing room, and I think it makes the dress even cuter.
Here's the finished hair clip. I made the yo-yo about 2" wide, threaded ribbon through the button holes, and fired up the glue gun. I glued the button to the yo-yo, glued a bit of felt to the bottom, glued ribbon around an alligator clip, then glued that to the felt.
I went to Hobby Lobby today (favorite store ever!) and bought more fabric, of course. Hopefully I'll have another super cute something to show you soon.
Until next time,

JEFFERSON CITY (AP) � His spot on the ballot now guaranteed, Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin began rebuilding support yesterday among fellow Republicans who shunned him after a remark about "legitimate rape" while Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill honed an election strategy that will use Akin's own words to portray him as an extremist.
Akin won a pair of high-profile Republican endorsements yesterday from former presidential candidate Rick Santorum and tea party favorite Sen. Jim DeMint. Perhaps just as important, the National Republican Senatorial Committee � which had pulled millions of dollars of planned advertising after Akin's remark � said yesterday that it hopes Akin wins and cracked open the possibility of again getting involved in the Missouri campaign.
While Akin attempts to shore up support among the Republican base, McCaskill is incorporating Akin's rape comments into a strategy courting politically independent voters and more moderate Republicans. In the coming days, for example, she plans to roll out a "Republicans for Claire" initiative featuring individuals such as Kansas City businessman Warren Erdman, who once served as chief of staff to former Republican Sen. Kit Bond.
McCaskill's goal is "to help folks realize that this election is about more than just party identification," said McCaskill spokeswoman Caitlin Legacki.
"It's about a clear choice between Claire � who is a moderate, independent senator for Missouri � and Todd Akin, who is not just too extreme for Missouri, but in a lot of ways too extreme for his own party," she said.
Akin is attempting to shift the focus away from his own remarks to McCaskill's ties to President Barack Obama.
"For Akin, the strategy is to try to bring all the Republicans back home � to try to remind Republican voters that he's their candidate and the alternative is electing Claire McCaskill, a Democrat, that many of them don't like," said Peverill Squire, a political science professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Akin has apologized repeatedly since a TV interview aired Aug. 19 in which he said women's bodies have a natural defense against pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape." He rejected calls from top Republicans � including presidential candidate Mitt Romney � to quit.

The feeling of walking through the lonely roads and alleys of the city, while it rains is surreal, to say the least.
You know how the saying goes – singing in the rain may be optional, but dancing and kind of grooving into a happy mood is surely a must !
Now the thing about music is quite peculiar, there isn't any feeling or emotion which music doesn't cover. Doesn't matter if you're super happy or super low – if you have the right kind of music being played at that moment, you'll
more certain than not feel an eerie sense of peacefulness fall upon yourself. If you ask me, music is the best motivational tool one can utilize.
The same can be said for what people often refer to as the 'most romantic' season of all time – monsoons.
Well, this in no way implies that the other types of people can't have fun when it rains and pours, but yeah the beauty of the moment when you're with your significant other, in the open and it rains down on you is something to be probably cherished for a really long time.
Apart from that? You can always plug in your earphones and beat the drizzle, right?
It's even better because the downpour builds up a very contemplative environment and ambience, when you can just sit around with your cup of coffee and contemplate about your life.
Keeping that in mind – here's a list of the top songs I personally feel one should typically have saved up as their rainy day playlist.
PS – Not taking anything away from these tracks, if not only during the rains – they sound just as well during any other time too!
The song originally from the movie Ajnabee released in 1974, got it's apprised version by Leslie Lewis, which topped the charts and recreated the romance of the monsoons.
This Grammy award winning song by what can easily be referred to as one of the best bands of the modern era, is a legit track for anyone who's looking for a warm hug, when the cold wind blows. With an upbeat tempo and lines like – "look at the stars, look how they shine for you" the track will get your heart beating again, when everything seems to be down and out.
This song particularly fits best in arguably two situations – one, when you need to get pumped up for something that you're about to do or the second, when you're driving or being driven really fast. The rain factor just adds on to it, and for me personally – this is one of the best work A7x has done. "left the childhood, left the memories, left the good times in the past" Woah.
Have you ever wondered what a dubstep influenced violin, instrumental track would sound like? Well, look no further than Lindsey Stirling. Elements was the track which kind of got her on the map and gave her mainstream attention, and rightfully so. The song can literally teleport you into a parallel universe!
The band which gave meaning to rock and roll. Period. Hey Jude is a sing-along song and is something extraordinary…one which really can't be described. You have to hear it out for yourself ! "Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better" these lines just have an unusual ring to it.
Looking for a track to get your feet moving? Here you go! Imagine Dragon's Radioactive has an amazing beat and a mild dubstep feel to it. Jumping up and down, lip -synching to singing out loud…this track will almost certainly make you do all that !
Turning the clock, we head to a band which personified the bygone ages of glam rock – Aerosmith.Dream on, in spite of being their first ever single released in the early 70's has arguably remained the band's USP of sorts. The song is about the hunger to be somebody: "Dream until your dreams come true."
Typically known for giving numerous video games their epic soundtracks, Alan Walker has come a long way from being just that.
Sing me to sleep is the perfect track to end a cold, rainy day all tucked under your blankie !

Now borrowers can apply for a West Brom mortgage with a deposit of just five per cent.
The West Brom has added two new mortgage products to its range which are suited to first time buyers with smaller deposits.
Borrowers can now apply to the building society for a mortgage at a loan to value (LTV) ratio of 95%, choosing from either a fixed or discounted variable rate over a two year term.
Products are for new purchasers or home movers, come with a free first standard valuation and there are no booking or completion fees to pay. The Society will lend up to a maximum loan size of £250,000 within this particular LTV bracket.
Its two year fixed rate is 3.59% (up to 95% LTV) and the two year discounted variable rate is 3.19% (up to 95% LTV), based on a 1.05% discount from the West Brom's standard variable rate (SVR).
David Taylor, Head of Products for the West Brom, said: "We have a proud history of supporting first time buyers in realising their ambition of securing a home of their own. Our maximum LTV has now increased from 90% to 95%, opening up the opportunity of becoming a home owner to those borrowers with a smaller deposit.
"Our products are competitively priced, plus we have kept things easy to understand and plan for by removing additional costs such as booking and completion fees.
"Our products are competitively priced, plus we have kept things easy to understand and plan for by removing additional costs such as booking and completion fees.
"The recent decision by the government to abolish stamp duty for the majority of first time buyers is also a welcome boost in terms of making home ownership potentially more attainable."
As part of the range review, the West Brom has also reduced rates on its existing two year discounted variable mortgages for new purchasers or home movers by 0.15% across all LTVs. Rates now start at 1.59% (up to 65% LTV), based on a 2.65% discount from SVR.
Reductions of up to 0.15% have also been made on discounted variable products for customers who are remortgaging.
The West Brom is the UK's seventh largest building society based in West Bromwich in the West Midlands. Mortgages are available directly from the Society or via selected intermediary partners.
Mortgage products revert to the West Brom's SVR at the end of the fixed rate or discounted term, which is currently 4.24%.

I was so happy for the day after Thanksgiving this year, not only because I was off work but also because we started getting ready for Grace's FIRST Christmas! I must admit, it was a bit different than what I am use to…since it was 80 degrees and we got our tree from a Home Depot parking lot where they trimmed the tree, put on the tree stand and tied it to your car for you. However, we stepped up our decorations to make up for it 🙂
This year I added a "Merry Christmas" banner. I told you I love these things now!
I followed this tutorial for the most part. The two differences…I used a different shape and I added letters to the banner.
I used this template for the flags on the banner. Then to add the letters I created a word document, using word art…I picked a font I liked and a size that would fit on my flag and printed each letter. I cut out the letters and traced them backwards on the back side of my fabric (make sure the letter is backwards so the letter is not backwards when you flip the fabric to right side). After I cut out all the letters I used Fabric Glue to attache the letters to the flags.

We use the highest grade lumber to ensure sturdiness and strength. A resilient and durable finish is applied to the inside and outside of all of our trunks. We offer many stain colors and can match most any tack room color scheme. We can also customize any type of farm logo or lettering.
We use solid brass hasps and heavy-duty spring loaded handles. The hinge/safety chain is solid brass and attached securely to the lid.
We have added a stainless-steel trim piece fastened to the bottom of all trunks to protect them from damp or rough ground.
With all of these features we can safely say these tack trunks will last you many, many years. And if, for some reason they do get damaged we will service and repair them as well.
We can count among our customers some of the most successful competitors and trainers on the show circuit today. And although our trunks were designed mainly to go "on the road" they are also a great addition for any barn at home or away.
We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have at any time, just give us a call.

We had "The Yellow Thing" which was a rolling yellow cart where Mom placed her items related to her church calling (job). We had "The China Cabinet" (OK, maybe not so clever), where she kept her nice serving dishes and goblets for Thanksgiving dinners.
Then, there was "The Pink Chest". This was a plain nondescript cabinet, just off the kitchen, probably built by my grandfather Christensen. This cabinet was used as an office supply desk. For some reason, it was painted a cheerful light pink. I always loved "The Pink Chest". I loved that the door opened up and became a desk surface. I loved that there was always a roll of adding machine tape hung on one of the drawer knobs for notes and grocery lists. The same drawer which held the famous "Pink Scissors". (Yes, I still have "The Pink Scissors")
After Mom passed away and Dad remarried, my stepmother stripped off the pink paint, sanded it down and stained it to an ugly orangy wood color. The worst part was that she took some ugly plastic contact paper with giant orange flowers and glued that to the front of the chest. After Dad died, we were going through some of the things that were left, I took the chest home with me. I ripped off the plastic contact paper almost immediately but the chest has sat mostly unused in the guest room for the past several years.
Until two weeks ago...
I primed the chest with Zinsser by RustOleum. Then I painted the whole thing with a chalky white latex paint. After that I bought some antiquing rub from Robert's crafts and also picked up some sheets of scrap book paper, with the idea of decoupaging them to the front of the chest.
I rubbed on some of the antiquing paint and then finished off by attaching the scrap book pages with several layers ModgePodge.
I am so happy with the finished product. I will need to come up with a clever new name for it now. What do you think? Oh, and there is still a roll of adding machine tape hanging from the drawer inside.

Dark Side of Saturn's Rings.
Cassini took this image of Saturn's rings on October 27 as it swung past the dark side of the planet during its first close pass after it arrived. The image also contains three of Saturn's moons: Mimas, Janus, and Prometheus. Although it's normally quite bright, the B ring looks dark from this side, when it's not being illuminated directly by the Sun.
As Cassini swung around to the dark side of the planet during its first close passage after orbit insertion, the intrepid spacecraft spied three ring moons whizzing around the planet.
Visible in this image are: Mimas (398 kilometers, or 247 miles across) brightest and above center; Janus (181 kilometers, or 112 miles across) second brightest at upper left; and Prometheus (102 kilometers, or 63 miles across) just above the main rings at upper left.
The normally bright B ring appears very dark from this vantage point. Regions with smaller concentrations of particles, such as the Cassini division (bright near center) transmit more sunlight and thus are brighter.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide angle camera on Oct. 27, 2004, at a distance of 757,000 kilometers (470,000miles) from Saturn. The image scale is about 42 kilometers (26 miles) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team is based at the Space Science Institute, Boulder, Colo.

Usher is finally ready to kick his ex-wife Tameka Foster out of his Georgia mansion and sell it for $3 million. He put it up for sale last week. Foster has been living in the home since their divorce in 2009 as part of a divorce agreement. Sources say Foster has not problem moving out!
Usher is finally making good on his threats to evict ex-wife Tameka Raymond from the house she still calls home … officially listing his Georgia mansion for a cool $3.2 million.
Usher bought the 12,544 square-foot pad in 2007 — while still married to Tameka — for $3 million. He officially listed the digs last week.
TMZ broke the story … Usher's ex has continued to live in the house as part of their 2009 divorce agreement — but in September, Usher made it clear he was planning to sell … and Tameka would be kicked to the curb.
As for the house, it's pretty huge … 6 bedrooms, 7 baths, 10-foot ceilings, massive pool, in-home gym, 4 fireplaces, a library, and a NASA launch pad. Kidding … NASA doesn't have funding for this place.
Sources close to Tameka tell TMZ … she is completely unfazed — adding, she runs her own small business and doesn't need any handouts.

The Internet Is Moving Faster Than Hiring
Although the past few weeks have been up and down for the economy, both performance and outlooks have been generally positive for years. Companies are hiring again, which is resulting in a shift of power into the hands of job seekers. Throw in the fact that skilled labor is in short supply, and it's arguable that lots of candidates have more power than ever before. But there's another factor in play.
The internet, of course, does many, many amazing things. One that stands out is how it decentralizes information — and as a consequence, power.
Not all that long ago, it was the company doing the hiring that had most of the information — and power. But consider sites like Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and Google. They've completely transformed the way candidates discover new opportunities, in addition to how they base their decisions upon where to apply.
Most people today could make a pretty good assumption about whether or not to pursue a particular opportunity with just a few minutes of surfing the internet. Give them an hour and they may know the entire company history, how difficult the interview process is, what it's like to work there, typical salaries, and the degrees of social media separation between them and the hiring manager.
As opposed to in the past, this could now all happen without ever talking to a recruiter. The Talent Board, an organization that researches the experiences candidates have, put this into perspective by reporting that in 2014 78.6% of job seekers became aware of a career opportunity from their own job search.
What's interesting is the impact of decentralized information on the job search process closely parallels that of the buying process.
Think, for example, about how purchasing a car has changed. At the turn of the millennium, after showing up at a car lot, the everyday buyer was virtually powerless, left mostly to the mercy of the salesperson. Information was available but less accessible in the early 2000s — nothing compared to what's at our fingertips and in our pockets today.
Since then, just like in the employment arena, entire business models — often driven by user-generated content — have emerged around the distribution of niche categories of information (power), providing visibility into, for instance, the value and quality of cars. The same can be said for just about any process that involves both a transaction and some form of intermediary to complete that transaction.
Recruiters, like salespeople, are being cut out of the early phases of these processes — a variance from tradition initiated by the internet and accelerated by mobile. Access to information, however, has not made these roles obsolete. Companies still have recruiters, just as they still have salespeople. Their roles as well as what's expected from them are just evolving, albeit much slower in the hiring space.
A rapidly growing area of business strategy is in trying to influence the early phases of transactions. The fact that people prefer to go to review sites, search engines, and social media before making a decision, and then base their decisions upon what's learned there, means there's a major opportunity to meet them on that turf, hence the enormous amounts of money being poured into online and mobile marketing — the digital battlefield.
The sales and marketing side of business have been much quicker than talent acquisition departments to adapt to the impacts of the internet. For sales and marketing purposes, some of your favorite companies probably have amazing social media accounts, blogging content, and websites, but it's not out of the ordinary for those same companies' career sites and online application experiences to look and operate like they're from 1999.
Sales and marketing are capitalizing on buyers' needs for information in the early phases of a transaction, sometimes building their competitive advantage with their ability to meet those needs, while — for the most part — those responsible for hiring haven't felt the same impetus to perform beyond the internet status quo.
Taking a step back, this makes sense on many levels, because as they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Ignorance to changing buyer expectations and preferences can directly impact the bottom line, whereas not meeting the needs of candidates, and therefore, hiring goals, has much more of an indirect impact.
While indirect, though, the impact hasn't gone unnoticed. In 2014, PwC showed that 63% of CEOs said finding skilled workers was a threat to their business. And then in 2015, we saw the highest number of job openings in fifteen years, and record-level times required to fill positions. Perhaps the CEOs were right.
Although difficulty with hiring skilled individuals may not be directly attributable to the P&L, it's much more than a trend worth watching. Digital citizens are taking over the workforce, and not before long everyone in the office will have lived most of their life expecting all the information in the world is just a few swipes of the finger away. Companies can't continue to operate with hiring strategies devoid of internet-centricity.
Given that job seekers have proven to prefer the self-service model for identifying opportunities, it's time that more employers start considering what that means exactly, as well as what's within and out of their control. It may not be possible to change your employer rating on Glassdoor, but the leading indicators of that rating like employee satisfaction could definitely be addressed internally. Steps can be taken to provide the best possible web experience when candidates find your career site. Recruiters can be equipped with social media skills. The list goes on.
In 2016, talent acquisition needs to be thinking more like digital marketers, because candidates are thinking more like consumers.

|Media Award
|On Thursday, March 19, 2015, an editorial column written by Paula Otto, Executive Director of the Virginia Lottery, appeared in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, one of the largest-circulation newspapers in Virginia. The column, titled, "Don't chance problem gambling; have the conversation," was written to inform people with little understanding of problem/pathological gambling about its existence and warning signs. It also showed that there is hope for people with gambling addiction and how to seek it.In Virginia, there are few resources to help problem gamblers, and it's safe to assume, a lower level of understanding of the problem than might be found in states in other states. To our knowledge, no article of its kind had ever appeared in this influential newspaper. Therefore, the goal of the column was to educate readers at a basic lever about the problem and what it means. In addition, the column leveraged the name recognition of the Lottery and its executive director to make the greatest possible impact during National Problem Gambling Awareness Month.

|Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling and MedSchool Maryland Productions (MMP)
|Public Awareness Award
|From July 1, 2014 – August, 2014, in advance of the Horseshoe Casino opening in downtown Baltimore, The Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling contracted with MedSchool Maryland Productions (MMP) to develop a multimedia public awareness campaign that included TV and radio ads (see attached listing and links to access ads) as well as billboards, bus signs, and online tools. The campaign focused on the African American community which is predominant in Baltimore City. MMP developed all components in collaboration with problem gambling content experts; cultural and African American community leaders within Baltimore; and individuals representing diverse age, gender, economic and recovery perspectives. The Baltimore Campaign developed messages to address the prevention continuum from primary responsible gambling messages and those more targeted on recognizing and seeking help for a gambling disorder. MMP utilized their unique expertise to engage community members utilizing an innovative documentary style to craft messages including: rap and hip-hop artists who produced a music video along with radio and TV ads; swing dancers; a taxi driver; a person in recovery; college professors; and problem gambling experts. This approach, utilizing "real" people and their experiences, had a significant impact as shown by a 240% increase in helpline calls from Baltimore City and a 150% overall increase in calls during the quarter this campaign was running. Also, the number of African American callers nearly doubled. Web clicks for the quarter in which ads were running leapt to 30,000 which was an increase of over 15,000 from the previous quarter.

PETA urges Rajinikanth fans to not slaughter goats in celebration of his political party
Animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on Friday urged fans of megastar Rajinikanth to avoid sacrificing goats at the Alagarkoil temple here to celebrate the actors entry into politics.
Rajinikanth's fans will reportedly do a puja at the temple on Sunday.
"The power you already hold can help make a positive difference to the lives of all living beings and we are therefore writing to respectfully request that you use it now to stop the planned slaughter of goats in your name," PETA's Lead - Public Policy Nikunj Sharma said in a statement.
"The plan of your fans to kill goats in a temple is cruel and an apparent violation of Indian laws. Goats who are killed are usually transported and handled roughly and hacked at with dull knives in full view of their terrified companions," Sharma added.
In response to PETA India's statement, Madurai Rajini fans' association said, "We are not planning to slaughter the goats or sacrifice them. We are going to purchase meat from meat shops to cook and serve food to the people. We won't be performing any ritual."
On December 31, 2017, Rajinikanth had announced his plans to float a political party, and has launched his website, called the Rajinikanth Rasigar Mandram, where people can register themselves as members of the party.

Everyday, it is more frequent and common to adequately know the dynamical behavior of stress and strain sensitive formations and to improve their geomechanical characterization, as well. For this purpose, a coupled simulator of fluid flow and rock deformation was used in this study to investigate the impact of the elastic constants of the rocks during a well pressure test. The results were compared with those obtained for a reservoir with average properties in which the geomechanical effects were neglected.
The numerical experiments were focused on simulating drawdown tests for four different scenarios as follows: a standard case without geomechanical effects, two cases with isotropic initial state of stress and two cases with anisotropic stress. For interpretation and comparison purposes, we utilized the TDS technique to determine the reservoir parameters of the simulated pressure data. The results allow us to visualize that Young's modulus causes a pronounced effect on the pressure test during pseudosteady-state flow which leads to a wrong estimation of reservoir drainage area; a range of values were established above which its variation does not cause important effects. On the other hand, it was found that variations of Poisson's ratio are not significant since they fit in a small range of the values customary reported in the literature.
1. Introduction
Since conventional reservoir engineering has overlooked geomechanics effects, research on reservoir geomechanics has lately increased. Recent investigations2-5 have concluded that an adequate characterization of stress-dependent reservoirs can help to achieve a more realistic reservoir forecast and, then, appropriate decisions regarding production optimization can be made. For these goals, coupled models to simulate both fluid flow and rock deformation behavior have been developed.
In this paper, a study for evaluation the effect of the rock's elastic constant on pressure transient tests using a coupled simulator is presented. The results permitted to establish a range of high influence of the elastic constant values during well pressure tests. The study also allowed us to discard critical values for the elastic constants which generate high numerical instability and possess low practical application.
2. Simulation Background
In this study a numerical coupled simulator developed by Alcalde and Wills1 was used. The numerical model consists of a fully implicit 3D finite difference solution in cylindrical coordinates with irregular grid using lattice grid points. The model considers the following assumptions: (i) the rock is deformable under an elastic, nonlinear behavior, (ii) monophasic and isothermal flow, (iii) Because of the stress dependence, the fluid and geomechanical properties are subject to temporal and spatial variations. The numerical solution is achieved by a Picard-Gauss-Seidel iteration type2.
The governing equations for the fluid flow in porous media coupled with geomechanical deformation are determined by four expressions which are developed detailly in Ref. 1.
