Whose Rights Are We Protecting?
International Investment Agreements (IIAs) are agreements negotiated between states to govern the promotion and the protection of foreign investments. While these agreements provide very strong protection to foreign investors and their investments, they do nothing to protect the human rights of those affected by these investments. This report reviews the main substantive issues related to IIAs, highlights their most problematic aspects, and presents various paths of action to address the problems related to investment agreements. It presents three recommendations on how to address the issues raised by this mechanism.

I do not like maps with rectangular fields. But driving a combine harvester plus the tractor with trailer is a bit tedious in SP mode.
So I came across the mod autopilot gotchTOM.
Now I did not want to change every harvesters myself and therefore I have written AutoCombine. And I have taken over parts of autopilot in my mod. The Mod is installed easily in the mod folder. It is automatically added in all combines and forage harvesters with normal helper. Thus the combine threshes automatically in circles around the field.
The AutoCombine Hud is opened with the key K. The helper starts normally using the H key.
Warning: You must turn on the alternative helper only in Hud. The button is in the 2nd Row far left. Is there a quadrilateral, then only the normal helper is on.

'Real' bros and 'Rakhi' bros!!
This year on the thirteenth of August, people in some states of India will be celebrating Raksha Bandhan. This festival celebrates the sister-brother relationship. The significance of the coloured and often embellished thread, which a sister ties around her brother's wrist, is symbolic of his vows to protect her and help her if she needs his help, as long as he lives. In return the brother gives the sister gifts ; these could be gifts in cash or kind or both! The sister can demand for anything. This is an ancient custom and has its origins in Hindu mythology as well as in historical legends. Many stories have filtered down the ages but I find these two quite imaginative and interesting.
A legendary narrative about Alexander's invasion of India in 326 BC, suggests that Roxana (or Roshanak) Alexander's wife, sent a sacred thread to King Porus asking him not to harm her husband in combat. Porus, the Hindu ruler, who battled Alexander at the Hydaspes(Jhelum) river, honoured the request and tied the thread on his wrist as a reminder. When Porus met Alexander in battle, and overpowered him at one point, it is said that the sight of the rakhi (sacred thread) on his wrist prevented him from delivering the final blow. Of course, there is no historical record of this, but the battle ended in defeat for Porus. The legend might have been born out of the fact that Alexander did not kill Porus, instead he made him a Macedonian Satrap or viceroy.
Another well known story built around the rakhi thread is about Rani Karnavati, the Rajput queen of Chittor, a city in Rajasthan and Mughal Emperor Humayun. The Sultan of Gujarat, Bahadur Shah invaded Chittor. In order to save the kingdom, Rani Karnavati sent a rakhi to Humayun, with the request for help. Touched, the Emperor set off with his troops to defend Chittor. However, he arrived too late and Chittor had fallen. The queen along with 13,000 other women in the fortress, had committed Jauhar, preferring to kill themselves to avoid dishonour at the hands of the invading army. Humayun met Bahadur Shah sixty miles from Chittor and laid siege to his camp, blocking his return to Gujarat. Historical records and memoirs do not mention the Rakhi episode and some historians are sceptical about it, but it is mentioned in a mid-seventeenth century Rajasthani account.
My experience of Raksha Bandhan, which is not celebrated in our family, resulted from group extortion plans in college...yes it was emotional blackmail. We were a group of four girls and I was the only one who didn't observe this ritual, so my two brothers didn't count in our scheme of things. Raani was the other one who had 'real' brothers. "Your bros are our bros," we declared and that got us two rakhi brothers. Rita was the one who had a boy friend. He was an Iranian called Rada. The majority felt, by virtue of being our friend's boy friend, Rada became our brother too! He didn't have a chance against this bizarre argument! All three boys took it with good humour and as we loaded our pockets, theirs got lighter. They remained our 'rakhi' bros until we were in college. What had started as fun and games to collect some extra pocket money ended into a sister-brother bonding! It was amazing how a little bit of coloured thread could alter attitudes and bond strangers into a sacred relationship. However, that was then...years ago in a small, conservative city. Today would be a different story.
Rada and Rita broke up, Raani died and our group lost contact as each one moved away to different parts of the country. Every year I'm reminded of my rakhi virjis and the sweetness of a relationship that was beyond mere friendship and blood ties...
Raksha Bandhan.......raksha means to protect/protection. Bandhan means bond or ties
Rakhi..........sacred or holy threads, made of coloured fibre and embellished with beads, sequins etc. Some are quite big and cumbersome. Most people prefer the simple threads.
Rani.......Hindi word for Queen
Jauhar......... Mass suicide...ancient Indian tradition of honorary self immolation of women and subsequent march of men to the battle field (against any odds) to end their life with respect. It was followed by the Rajput clans in order to avoid capture and dishonour at the hands of their enemies. Such painful method (burning) was preferred over other ways like poisoning or hanging, because Muslim invaders buried the dead women instead of cremating them.(Wikipedia)
Virji...........'Vir' is one of the Punjabi words for brother. 'Ji' is suffixed as a sign of respect. I have added an 's' to make it plural and this is an anglicised way of speaking and not the Punjabi way of making plurals.

Very sweet post sprinkled with memories....the bonds created by these simple ceremonies are pure joy...Cheers!ReplyDelete
That was informative and touching. Friendship is a curious thing, isn't it? It can be formed instantly and last forever...and invariably does.ReplyDelete
Sprigblossoms, Yes, I realised the 'ties that bind' a bit more...Thanks.ReplyDelete
Curious indeed...at times one makes friends in strange circumstances...it's sad they all don't come with lifetime guarantees.
Such an informative post. It reminded me of an episode of Father Knows Best when the exchange student from India gave the son in the family one of these. So cool to have a memory resurface and to learn something new at the same time.ReplyDelete
That's amazing! You had some information about 'rakhi'...I'm glad I could add to that.
Thanks Khushi - it's fulfilling to see "how a little bit of coloured thread could alter attitudes and bond strangers into a sacred relationship". On some fronts life comes with strings attached !ReplyDelete
Yes Raj...isn't it called 'kachche dhaage'....ReplyDelete
I love the story of your brothers. I have spiritual brothers who have made my life rich; and they will be there for me always--even without the thread. (((((hugs)))))ReplyDelete

Author(s): Louis de Bernieres
This limited edition of Labels, Louis de Bernieres' quirkily affectionate short story debut, is being re-released as a facsimile edition to celebrate Hardie Grant's 20th anniversary. The debut publication for Hardie Grant Books 20 years ago, it is a tale of obsession, with tender moments and gristly bits, that will delight cooks, collectors and cat-lovers anew, and teach public inspectors a thing or two.
Louis de Bernieres was already a noted British novelist when his fourth novel, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, catapulted him to world acclaim. It was a departure from his earlier novels, which drew on South American magic realism, and it won de Bernieres the 1995 Commonwealth Writers Prize. The worldwide bestseller has been translated into more than 30 languages. Labels, de Bernieres' short story debut, was published in 1997. The novelist has won or been shortlisted for numerous awards for his fiction, which extends to both short story and poetry collections. Two of his books have been adapted for film: Captain Corelli's Mandolin in 2001 and Red Dog in 2011. Recognised early in his career by Granta magazine as one of Britain's best young novelists, de Bernieres is also an accomplished classical guitarist and mandolin player.

Exercise Eliminates the Harmful Effects of Sitting
Get up and move! That's the advice of research that found people who watch TV for 5 or more hours a day were much more likely to die from a blood clot than those who watched TV for less than 2.5 hours a day. Exercise also helps lower your blood sugar and can decrease your risk of diabetes.
But what if you work and have to sit all day? Can exercise decrease or eliminate the harmful effects of sitting? That's the focus of a recent study published in the British Journal, Lancet. These researchers investigated the effects of both sitting and exercise on mortality and found that increased sitting is associated with an increased likelihood of dying. People who sat for more than 8 hours a day and exercised for 5 minutes each day were 27% more likely to die than people who exercised more or sat less. As you can see from the table below, the risk of mortality decreases the more you exercise. Moderate exercise abolished the detrimental effect of sitting for 8 or more hours a day.
Effect of Exercise Time and Sitting on Percent Increased Chance of Death*
|Time Spent Exercising Each Day
|Less than 4 hours (Sitting Time Per Day)
|4 to 6 hours (Sitting Time Per Day)
|6 to 8 hours (Sitting Time Per Day)
|More than 8 hours (Sitting Time Per Day)
|5 Minutes
|No effect
|25 to 35 minutes
|No effect
|50 to 65 minutes
|No effect
|60 to 75 minutes
|No effect
|No effect
*Adapted from Table 2 in Lancet published online July 27, 2016;
Examples of moderate exercise in this study were walking at a fast pace (3.5 miles/hour) or bicycling at a rate of 10 miles/hour. If you haven't been exercising regularly, start exercising gradually by including walking, biking, jogging, swimming or any additional movement in your daily routine.
Here are some tips to increase your level of activity during the day:
- At work, get up and walk every hour, if possible
- When shopping, park at the far end of the parking lot and walk to the store
- Meet with colleagues to walk and talk, if possible
Sitting less and incorporating exercise into your schedule may increase your lifespan!

BMO launches debut $529m auto-loan ABS in U.S.
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Bank of Montreal's debut US$529.1 million auto loan securization adds to a growing list of cross-border asset-backed transactions involving Canadian vehicle loans, leases and dealer-floorplan financing.
The Canadian Pacer Auto Receivables Trust 2017-1 deal involves the first-ever pooling of new and used auto-loan originations by BMO — for either Canadian or U.S. investors — and is the fifth auto-related asset class emanating from the Great White North this year.
Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) has already issued two deals totaling $1.5 million through its one-year-old Securitized Term Auto Securitization Trust platform, the latest of which occurred in late September.
Ford Credit Canada has also sponsored a pair of transactions. Ford Floorplan Auto Securitization Trust Series 2017-F1 was a US$522.9 million transaction in July pooling Canadian dealer inventory financing, following April's issuance of $540.7 million in U.S.-dollar denominated notes in a private placement backed by retail auto loans (Ford Auto Securitization Trust 2017-R2).
On Monday, General Motors Financial of Canada filed for a lease-backed transaction through its GMF Canada Leasing Trust. It would be the second offering from the trust since it launched last year with a Canadian-dollar denominated deal valued at CAN$426 million (approximately US$327 million in October 2016).
BMO already issues asset-backed deals in the U.S. market for its credit card receivables.
BMO's Pacer transaction involves a senior-note capital structure of a US$110 million money-market tranche (with a provisional P-1 Moody's Investors Service rating) and three Aaa-rated term tranches.
The Class A-2a and A-2b series of notes will be split between fixed- and floating-rate tranches totaling $202 million; the Class A-3 notes due 2021 totaling $136 million, and the five-year Class A-4 bonds are $52 million, according to a presale report from Moody's.
An additional offering of subordinate Class B and C notes adding up to $29.1 million are unrated.
The portfolio consists of 42,258 receivables accounts from loans with a total amount due equaling US$654.4 million, according to a presale report from Moody's. The loans were indirect originations through 3,500 dealer partners for BMO across Canada.
More than 66% of the loans were for used vehicles, a higher-than-average share against other recent Canadian ABS auto-loan transactions in which an average of 70% of the pools involved new vehicles. The average term length for the BMO loans is 64 months, below that of peer issuers.
The loans are to prime customers with average FICOs of 752 and average APRs of 4.73%, according to Moody's.

NTT DOCOMO outlined a medium-term vision to widen the scope of its business and collaborate with new partners for valued-added networking services.
Under the +d (pronounced "plus d") initiative, DOCOMO will share its extensive business assets with partner companies for streamlined collaboration. Services co-created through such efforts will be branded with unified names that begin with the letter "d." DOCOMO will strive, together with its partners, to empower customers in ways that enable them "to realize more affordable, enjoyable and convenient lives."
The alignment of service brands under the "d" banner will include a unified docomo Point system (dPOINT), a docomo Premier Club membership program, a Docomo credit card service (dCARD), and a common docomo customer ID (dACCOUNT). Docomo is hoping this approach can be adopted in a variety of fields, including medicine, agriculture, education, local governments, etc.
In view of its 2020 planning, Docomo expects its forthcoming 5G deployments will pave the way for partners to develop innovative services around its platform.

Reclamation Drought Plan Would Nix Environmental Reviews
As the Trump administration moves toward a drought contingency plan for the Colorado River, the Bureau of Reclamation is pushing legislation that would exempt its work from environmental reviews. That includes potential impacts on what has emerged as a major sticking point in the drought negotiations: Southern California's Salton Sea, a public health and ecological disaster. Draft legislation obtained by E&E News would authorize the Interior secretary to implement the drought plan "notwithstanding any other provision of law" and "without delay."

Jim Duffy Memorial on Tap for MCR this Saturday Night!
East Smethport, PA (April 24, 2014) The NDRL McKean Co Raceway in E. Smethport will come to life again this Saturday night after a very successful opening night last Saturday. The annual Jim Duffy Memorial will be on tap for the super late model division. Mike Knight of Ripley, NY took home the opening night win over Jamestown's, Chris Hackett. A complete program for the weekly RUSH Crate Late Models, Close Racing Supply Modifieds, Highway Auto Sales Stock Cars, Mini Stocks and Pure Stocks will also be in action.
The super late models will be gunning for the annual Jim Duffy Memorial event in honor and memory of the late Jim Duffy he passed away on opening night in 1989. Duffy recreated the current 3/8 mile oval out of the old half mile horse track oval and returned to racing his own dirt late model in 1986. Current point leader, Knight is expected back this week along with Hackett, Greg Oakes, David Scott and Dick Barton. Also expected on hand is 2013 track champion, Rob Blair making his 2014 debut and his son, Max who dominated the crate division last year and has been on traveling with the National Dirt Racing League "Kings of Dirt" national touring series for John Kennedy this year. The Blair family should provide added excitement to the late model division.
Chad Ruhlman of Bemis Point, NY will be looking to make it two for two on Saturday night. He can not let off the loud pedal as crate new comer, Jeremy Wonderling of Wellsville, Damien Bidwell, Dustin Waters, Matt Harvey, Bob Kish, Zack Carley and so many others will be looking to find victory lane this week. This no doubt is the most competitive weekly division at MCR!
The Close Racing Supply Modified division has a new name for 2014, but veteran driver, Randy Hall is no stranger to victory lane and that is right where he was at on opening night. Hall a former multi track champion and former three time UEMS Modified Series champion led all 20 laps last Saturday night defeating Brent Rhebergen, Vic Vena, Kirk Bradley, John Woodward Jr and Patrick McGee.
Dennis Asel of Kane, won the season opening Highway Auto Sales Stock car event. Rick Wojowitcz, Kurt Stebbins, Ted Mascho, Josh Wilcox will no doubt be looking to find victory lane this weekend as Asel had a dominating car on opening night.
Mitch Boylan finished second in the championship points in 2013, but found victory lane on opening night. He chased after Kurt Babcock for most of the race till a late race pass. Babcock had a great car and no doubt will be looking to defeat Boylan this week. Travis Babcock rolled his car in a qualifying heat last Saturday night, but got it repaired and returned for the feature. Determination by this young man will no doubt be a reason why he will be in victory lane this year, it may be this Saturday night!
The 2013 Pure Stock champion, Joe Layfield found victory lane by default last week as the winner was disqualified due to a engine infraction. Ironically the defending champion picked up his first win and only win in the last two years by the default. Mr. Consistency, Layfield will no doubt be looking to find victory lane again but Cliff Easton, Roger Schweikert, Dennis Cummings an Art Peterson will all be looking to be in victory lane.
All the action starts at 7PM with grandstands opening at 5PM.. pit gates officially opening at 430PM. Adult admission is $12, Sr. Citizen tickets are $10, children 11-17 are $6 and the Family pack (2 adults and 2 children 11-17) is $35, plus pit passes are $25! Come out to the "Dirt Track" in E.

Wills are legal documents which only say where your property goes upon death. They do not affect your assets during your lifetime.
A will does not avoid probate.
Wills are documents authorized by state law. They ordinarily operate only on probate assets (assets held in your name alone) and do not take effect until your death. Wills may be used to dispose of small or large estates. They may be "simple" providing outright distributions or they may be "complex" containing an involved scheme of distribution or containing one or more "testamentary trusts," to control terms and conditions of future distributions of assets. Since wills are authorized by the State, the legislature controls who may write a will, what may or may not be included in a will, and the terms and conditions which may be included, such as the qualifications of an individual or company to act as "Executor or Personal Representative." To be given effect, wills must be submitted to a special court which has the duty of overseeing wills, trusts, matters of personal incapacity and certain other functions. This court is called the Probate Court and judicial proceedings are always involved. It determines which wills are to be admitted to probate and which will not, as well as the meaning of poorly drafted wills, such as those that individuals may attempt to write on their own. A person writing a will is called a Testator and upon death is called a Decedent. All wills are testamentary (they have no effect until death) in nature. Dispositions of assets are referred to as testamentary dispositions, which derive from, or into the traditional "Last Will and Testament" language we are all familiar with. An individual that passes away leaving a will is said to die Testate and one without a will dies Intestate. Wills are public in nature and anyone may go to the Probate Court to see the contents of your will and the assets you leave following submission to the Probate Court.
Wills do not allow for management of your assets if you become mentally incapacitated and cannot manage your own financial affairs. Refer to the discussion regarding Trusts.

MP Highlights Geneva N. Deal's Long Term Benefits for Iran
- December, 03, 2013 - 14:58
- Nuclear news
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The interim nuclear deal between Iran and the G5+1, which has largely been received positively inside the country, will have numerous long-term benefits for Iran and people will gradually come to realize the tangible results of the historic accord.
"The positive effects of these negotiations would be less noticeable in the short term, but in the long term they will boost production and give an impetus to the economic activities inside the country," Abbas Ali Mansouri said of the recent Geneva in an interview with the Tasnim News Agency.
The deal is intended to allow time to negotiate a comprehensive agreement on the nuclear program.
On November 24, Iran and the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council - Russia, China, France, Britain and the US - plus Germany sealed an interim deal that both sides hope could open the way for the permanent resolution of Iran's nuclear standoff.
In exchange for Iran's confidence-building bid to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities, the six world powers agreed to lift some of the existing sanctions against the Islamic Republic and not to impose any new ones during the six-month period that can be extended by mutual agreement.
"Beyond doubt, the fruits of this accord in resolving the economic problems and its cultural, social and economic acheivements will be better felt in the coming years and our people can reap the benefits of the deal," he said.
Mansouri said that in addition to its positive effects for Iran and its interlocutors, the agreement is also a favorable development for the regional states.
Regional countries including Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia have welcomed the accord. Riyadh said the agreement could be a step towards a comprehensive solution for the dispute over the Iranian nuclear issue.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Sunday his country's nuclear deal with the G5+1 is in the interest of regional nations.
"The solution to this issue serves the interests of all countries in the region. It is not at the expense of any state in the region," Zarif said at a joint news conference after meeting Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah.

Okay, I know this is a blog about a Korean in the Midwest, not a Korean in the South. But I just had to share this recipe for creamed spinach. I had to. It's that good.
Chop the spinach thoroughly.
Okay, it's not so secret. It's an ingredient in probably every creamed spinach recipe ever.
But that just means it's a very, very important ingredient.
Nutmeg is a great flavor enhancer for green, leafy vegetables. It complements the rich, earthy flavor of the vegetables. And it tastes its best when freshly grated!
Serve with your next homestyle meal. It's the perfect side dish to pork chops, meatloaf, or fried chicken! And it's nearly healthy--look at all that green! Just pretend the step about adding cream was imaginary ;) If you do that, it's almost like you're eating a salad! ... almost.
Recipe: Creamed Spinach
1 lb. spinach (thoroughly rinsed if not using bagged salad spinach)
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minched
1/2 c. heavy cream
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
Bring a pot filled with two inches of heavily salted water to a boil. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Drain spinach in colander and squeeze as much water out of the leaves as possible.
Saute the onion and garlic in butter in the now-empty pot.
Thoroughly chop spinach and add to onion and garlic.
Turn heat down and add cream. Stir everything to combine.
Salt and pepper to taste, and grate in nutmeg. Serve while hot!

ADAMS TOWNSHIP – Despite shooting a season-best score, the Clinton-Massie golf team was defeated by East Clinton 179 to 199 Tuesday at Majestic Springs Golf Course.
"199 was our best score of the year but not nearly good enough to compete with a much better and more experienced East Clinton team," CM coach Phil Larrick said.
Gage McConahay of East Clinton was match medalist with a 1-over par 36. Brendan Walters carded a 40 and Shane Streber had a 46. Lane Baker came in with a 47 and Quenton Tolle posted a score of 56.

The reward for information leading to the arrest of the person on account of a pup found burned and tossed into a dumpster in Coachella has bounced to $20,000 according to KTLA 5 News.
A man and his little girl found the animal close to a strip mall on 49849 Harrison St. the evening of May 5, as per a Sherman Oaks animal rescue
The two heard the little dog crying and scavenged through the rubbish, inevitably finding the 2-week-old doggie in a plastic sack. About 30% of the doggie's body was covered with burns, Dr. Andreana Lim at the Mcgrath Veterinary Center said.
Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation recently declared a $10,000 compensation for any kind of information on the individual responsible for this heinous act of animal cruelty whom rescuers have named Hope.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the association said actor celebrity Shannen Doherty and model Joanna Krupa each has donated an addition $5,000 for anyone who can help bring the puppy justice.

Uber launched their schedule-ahead service today
Today Uber rolled out their new Scheduled Rides option, allowing you to schedule a ride 30 minutes to 30 days in advance. This could be especially handy for people needing an early morning lift to the airport. One hitch is that for now, it's only in Seattle, although it'll be "followed by other top business travel cities."
Here's how it works, according to Uber:
Select uberX and tap "Schedule a Ride."
Set your pickup date, time, location, and destination.
Confirm the details of your upcoming trip and tap "Schedule uberX." You can cancel at anytime before your ride is on the way.
We'll send you reminders both 24 hours and 30 minutes in advance of your pickup.
You'll be notified after your ride is on the way, as well as whether surge pricing applies.
Just make sure you're on time for your scheduled ride – otherwise you'll be fined. And if you're not in Seattle, you can still sign up to be the first in your city to try it. For more details on Uber's Scheduled Rides click here.

Prospective jurors refuse to serve under rapist-friendly judge Aaron Persky
The East Bay Times reports that "at least 10 prospective jurors" refused to participate in Judge Aaron Persky's next trial in protest at the cozy 6-month sentence (out in 12 weeks) he gave Stanford rapist Brock Turner.
"I can't be here, I'm so upset," one juror told the judge while the lawyers were picking the jury in the misdemeanor receiving stolen property case, according to multiple sources.
Another prospective juror stood up and said, "I can't believe what you did," referring to the six-month county jail sentence Persky handed to Turner, who was convicted for sexually assaulting an unconscious intoxicated woman last year outside a Stanford University frat party.
In each case, the judge said, "I understand," thanked the prospective juror and excused her or him from duty.
Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden wrote an open letter to Turner's victim today, praising her willingness to speak out about her treatment by her attacker and by the legal system.
And I am filled with furious anger — both that this happened to you and that our culture is still so broken that you were ever put in the position of defending your own worth.
It must have been wrenching — to relive what he did to you all over again. But you did it anyway, in the hope that your strength might prevent this crime from happening to someone else. Your bravery is breathtaking.
You are a warrior — with a solid steel spine.

Suspect arrested after Target bathroom explosion
A "small" bomb exploded in a women's bathroom at the Target store in Evanston, Illinois Wednesday, and police said they thought the attack was related to the company's pro-transgender policies. They changed their mind, however, after taking a 44-year-old woman into custody, reports the Chicago Tribune.
"The detectives are not currently looking for any known additional suspects, and (at) this point there is no indication that the incident is related to any policies that the Target store has in place," the release reads.
Evanston police requested the help of the Cook County bomb squad late Wednesday afternoon after an explosion in a Target store restroom
WGNtv's Patrick Elwood reported that no-one was in the bathroom when the device exploded and that it caused minor damage. The bomb
was housed in a plastic bottle and contained no shrapnel.
Target upset conservatives recently by announcing that transgender customers would be permitted to use the bathrooms that they are most comfortable using, and police at first suspected a connection.

"Let's look at a picture of the planet for no reason. It's nice isn't it. That's where we live. What happens if I put some words over it? How about a number? What if I pose a question? By doing this, I've now made you think that I know what I'm talking about."

Ingenious idea for a Thor toolbox
If you were a Norse god/superhero who moonlighted as a carpenter, this Thor Hammer Tool Kit would hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately right now it's just a concept design from Dave's Geeky Ideas!
When not being carried around for Asgardian cosplay, this hammer opens up to reveal all the tools stored inside. The handle is shared with an actual hammer, which is fastened into a removable tray. Beneath the tray is a reservoir for loose tools and nuts/bolts.
10,000 hours to become an expert? Sorry, that number is off.
In the 2008 book Outliers: The Story of Success, Malcolm Gladwell popularized the theory that it took 10,000 hours to become an expert in anything. If you wanted to be the best violinist, painter, tennis player, or anything else that took talent, 10,000 was the magic number. But now the authors of the original 1993 study say that Gladwell's simple assertion just isn't accurate.
One of the authors of the study, Anders Ericsson, just co-authored a new book, Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise (with co-author Robert Pool) to clarify what the study actually meant. According to Inc.com:
Problem 1: The number 10,000 was chosen arbitrarily
First, there is nothing special or magical about ten thousand hours. Gladwell could just as easily have mentioned the average amount of time the best violin students had practiced by the time they were eighteen (approximately seventy-four hundred hours) but he chose to refer to the total practice time they had accumulated by the time they were twenty, because it was a nice round number.
And, either way, at eighteen or twenty, these students were nowhere near masters of the violin. They were very good, promising students who were likely headed to the top of their field, but they still had a long way to go when at the time of the study. Pianists who win international piano competitions tend to do so when they're around thirty years old, and thus they've probably put in about 20,000 to 25,000 hours of practice by then; ten thousand hours is only halfway down that path.
The other two problems were: 1) 10,000 hours was only the average, and 2) Practice itself isn't enough.
The bottom line is, practice as much as you love doing something. If you love it enough, you just might become an expert. If you practice for hours' sake, you still might end up being average – and frustrated to boot. For the full details, read it on Inc.com.
The Book of Gossage – If you want to work in advertising, you need to read this book
The Book of Gossage
by Howard Luck Gossage and Jeff Goodby
Copy Workshop
2006, 308 pages, 8 x 10 x 1 inches (softcover)
$42-$50 Buy a copy on Amazon
Just down the street from San Francisco's North Beach strip clubs and Beat Museum, I had the privilege of interning for an ad agency located in one of the city's original firehouses. When I started, I had no idea that the building once belonged to Howard Luck Gossage, an advertising legend. After taking a spin down the firepole I was given a copy of The Book of Gossage and told that if I wanted to work in advertising I needed to read this book. It opened my eyes to how amazing advertising can be, and introduced me to an icon that too few people know about.
The book is dense, as it's part textbook, part history lesson, and is filled with some incredibly witty and thought-provoking ads. The book collects a bulk of Gossage's writings where he tackles the big issue: Is Advertising Worth Saving? He also covers topics like: How To Be Creative, The Shape of an Idea, and Our Fictitious Freedom Of The Press.
His ads filled tires with pink air, started the international paper airplane competition, and prevented the Grand Canyon from being flooded. While his creative insights alone would be worth the price of this book, there is also a lot of historic context that's provided by colleagues, and people who were influenced by his work. Hearing about his charm and love of parties makes you understand why people like Tom Wolfe, John Steinbeck, and Stan Freberg would just hang out at his agency.
As Gossage said himself, "Nobody reads ads. People read what interests them, and sometimes it's an ad." If you're curious about advertising, pursuing a creative career, or just want to learn about a very interesting man, then this book will interest you.
– JP LeRoux
Note: The first edition contains some colored photos of Gossage's work, while the second edition (linked above) includes a CD-rom with a collection of his work – either is worth picking up.
Cabybaras break out of Toronto zoo, on the lam for 3 weeks
Capybaras are not only the world's greatest rodents, they are also the world's greatest animals bar none. And now two of them, appropriately named Bonnie and Clyde, are on the lam after busting out of Toronto's High Park Zoo on May 24. The search for the brobdingnagian guinea pigs has been going on for 3 weeks.
From NatGeo:
Canadian city's residents have taken to the streets (and social media) in an attempt to help officials find the giant rodents and lure them back into captivity.
Easier said than done. It's been more than three weeks since the pair, now nicknamed Bonnie and Clyde, made a break for it while being transferred to a new enclosure. And so far, attempts to recapture the rodents of interest have come up empty handed.
By the way, capybaras aren't guinea pigs, but they are related. Here's a video of a baby capybara getting to know a guinea pig:
Motion activated mailbox light
Last week I found a black widow in my mailbox. Luckily, it was during the day so I spotted it right away. But we often pick up the mail at night. I told Carla about the spider and now she is nervous about getting the mail. I just ordered this motion-activated mailbox light on Amazon for $12. I hope it does the trick.
Singer terrorized on prank TV show by fake terrorists
Singer and actress Heba Magdi doesn't seem to be enjoying herself on this good-natured prank TV show, in which she was "kidnapped" by fake ISIS terrorists and forced to put on a suicide vest. C'mon Heba, lighten up!
From YouTube:
Is this the world's cruellest TV prank ever? Actress is tricked into thinking she has been kidnapped by ISIS in Egypt and is made to beg for her life on video.
The video shows Heba Magdi surrounded by men dressed as ISIS fanatics.
She is then ordered 'at gun point' to pose for pictures infront of an ISIS flag.
Repeatedly begs for her life as TV crew set off fake gunfire and explosions.

Banks confront negative interest rates with plans to store titanic bundles of money on-site
The world's central banks, freaked out about huge leverage by financial institutions and borrowers and unwilling to engage in economic stimulus themselves, have been moving interest rates lower and lower, until now, many banks are offering negative interest rates, meaning that buying $100 worth of treasury bills today will return $99 in cash tomorrow — hoping that this will incentivize banks to issue enough loans to make up for politically impossible governmental fiscal stimulus.
Restaurant that killed customer with nut allergy sends apology email advertising new desserts
Mohammed Zaman, founder of Easingwold Jaipur Spice restaurant in the UK, was sentenced to six years in prison for serving a nut-powder curry to a man with a nut allergy. The victim, who asked Zaman not to give him food with nuts, died from anaphylactic shock immediately after eating it.
After the sentencing, the restaurant issued a fauxpology that concluded with an advertisement for new desserts:
[We] sincerely apologise to all our loyal customers for the recent heavy press surrounding the Easingwold branch and the somewhat disappointing decision for our founding father Mr Zaman. Mistakes have been made and this is no excuse but now is a time to move on as Mr Zaman so wishes.
We are now in the process of launching a new dessert menu and have hired an exclusive pastry chef from London to design this. Our philosophy, started by our founder, [Mohammed] Khalique Zaman, was and still is to create real quality Indian cuisine of the highest standard.
With exhilarating flavours and subtle aromas…Jaipur Spice will transform your perception of Indian food…You'll spot the difference the moment the food arrives!!"

As GWB was a gift to late-night comedy shows, so Trump brings out the best in Congressional firebrands
I remember John Stewart's first nights on The Daily Show, when the radioactive, manifest awfulness of GW Bush and his nakedly opportunistic response to 9/11 seemed to reach deep into the comedian's psyche and conjure forth an heroic, blazing best self whose invective and wit skewered, enraged, and succored all of us who were living through those years.

Why psychiatrists aren't supposed to say Trump is a narcissist
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for U.S. President in November's general election, is not only comically narcissistic, but his tongue ticks off diagnostic criteria for pathological arseholedom with every demented sentence. But pyschiatrists can't say so, because we've been here once before.
Both psychiatrists and psychologists operate under ethical rules that prevent them from offering professional diagnostic opinions about the mental health of public figures they have not personally examined. The American Psychiatric Association's version of this is known as the Goldwater Rule — named for another polarizing Republican presidential candidate.
The rule has its roots in the September/October 1964 issue of a magazine called Fact, which was entirely devoted to parsing the results of a survey the editors had sent to more than 12,000 psychiatrists. The survey only had one question: "Do you believe Barry Goldwater is psychologically fit to serve as president of the United States?"
There were lawsuits, and Goldwater won them. Hence:
On occasion psychiatrists are asked for an opinion about an individual who is in the light of public attention or who has disclosed information about himself/herself through public media. In such circumstances, a psychiatrist may share with the public his or her expertise about psychiatric issues in general. However, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a professional opinion unless he or she has conducted an examination and has been granted proper authorization for such a statement.
Shrinks will dance up to the rules and tip-toe on the thorns, though. Check out The Atlantic's not-a-diagnosis of Trump's narcissistic personality disorder.
Internet greybeards and upstarts gather to redecentralize the Internet
This week, the Internet Archive is hosting a three-day event (which finishes today) called The Decentralized Web Summit, whose goal is to figure out how to build a new Internet that is "locked open," an idea that emerged from Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle's 2015 series of talks and articles about how technologists can build networks and protocols that are resistant to attempt to capture, monopolize and control them.
Parfumiers are trying to capture the smell of old books

Minecraft schools edition in beta testing
An educational edition of hit game/toy/epic/religion Minecraft is in beta testing, reports The Verge, and teachers are invited to get their hands on it early.
Minecraft: Education Edition is almost identical to standard Minecraft, but it includes a handful of features designed for the classroom. A couple smaller features were announced in January — like an in-game camera for taking screenshots — and some more substantial ones are being announced today. That includes adding in-game chalkboards that can display large blocks of text and letting teachers place characters that'll say things when a student walks up to them.
The biggest new feature won't come until September, when the game launches. It's called Classroom Mode, and it's essentially a control panel for teachers. Teachers will be able to use the interface to grant resources to students, view where everyone is on a map, send chat messages, and teleport people to specific places, which will be useful should students run off or get lost.
Classroom mode alone looks great for improving multiplayer in general:
Iranian soccer star suspended for wearing SpongeBob pants
Sosha Makani, 29, was goalkeeper of Tehran's Persepolis soccer club. But not any more, after Iranian morality police saw him photographed in a pair of SpongeBob Squarepants pants.
"Sosha suspended for six months because of yellow trousers," read the headline of Varzesh3, an Iranian sports news agency. "SpongeBob [trousers] cause six-month suspension for Sosha," said the online news agency Asriran. … Last month, Iranian news agencies reported that Makani, who played for Iran's national football team at the 2014 World Cup, was being scrutinised by the authorities over his trousers.
China plans undersea lab, 3km down
Bloomberg News reports that the Chinese Science Ministry plans to build a laboratory on the sea floor at a depth of 3 kilometers. It's the latest salvo in its expansionist effort to take control of the South China Sea.
So far there are few public details, including a specific time line, any blueprints or a cost estimate — or where in the waterway it might be located. Still, China under President Xi Jinping has asserted itself more strenuously in the South China Sea, one of the world's busiest shipping routes. Its claims to more than 80 percent of the waters and the creation of artificial islands covering 3,200 acres have inflamed tensions with nations including Vietnam and the Philippines…
"The deep sea contains treasures that remain undiscovered and undeveloped, and in order to obtain these treasures we have to control key technologies in getting into the deep sea, discovering the deep sea, and developing the deep sea," Xi said last month at a national science conference.
How to tell a victim of demonic possession apart from someone with a mental disorder
It used to be said that photos never lie, back in those simpler, innocent days before Photoshop and Facetune made liars of us all. But as this week's tabloids show, photos can lie even when they are the unvarnished genuine article.
Richard Simmons, the fitness 'guru' whose celebrity seems to continue only in the minds of tabloid editors, is pictured on the National Enquirer's cover clad in fur-trimmed lingerie and black leggings, while wearing a long black wig, above a headline screaming: "He's now a woman!"
"Yes, this photo shoot is real!" adds an accompanying caption – a notation that is necessary because veteran Enquirer readers will know how many of its photos are doctored fakes.
Quoting an unnamed "pal," the Enquirer claims that Simmons has been out of the public eye for the past two years while he transitioned into a woman, having a "secret boob job" and researching "castration surgery."
Leaving aside for a moment the appalling intrusion into the private life of anyone going through the emotional rollercoaster of gender realignment, just as the Enquirer had previously brutally forced the outing of a transitioning Caitlyn Jenner, Simmons' photo was clearly taken in jest, just as the flamboyant self-publicist Simmons has dressed in women's attire many, many times before for the camera and on TV.
The fact that Simmons was photographed a week ago wearing a beard should be the first clue that there may be less to this story than appears. Add the fact that in March the New York Daily News reported that Simmons had been kidnapped by his maid, prompting Simmons to emerge from seclusion to assure the world he was fine, and you realize that the 'Sweatin' to the Oldies' star is the subject of frequently wild speculation.
If he wants to transition to a woman, that's great – but this unsubstantiated story and misleading photo don't suggest that's the case.
There's also less than appears in the Globe's "world exclusive' cover story "Patrick Swayze died a battered husband," accompanied by a photo of the 'Dirty Dancing' star with shocking black eye and bruised lip, allegedly beaten in his final months by his wife, Lisa. The supposed "tragic truth," exposed by an unnamed "friend," is brought to harrowing life by the image of a gaunt and beaten Swayze – if only it were real. Harder to find than Waldo, hidden away at the foot of the page in the smallest of print are the tell-tale words: "Photo dramatization."
There's no such caption on the Enquirer's photo of Hillary Clinton, however, showing the Democrat's presidential hopeful wearing an orange prison tunic and pants, her wrists shackled by a chain around her waist. "She should be jailed for compromising top U.S. secrets," says the fair and balanced Enquirer, which notes the result of its readers' general election poll, showing that 60 per cent support Donald Trump. You'd expect the other 40 per cent to support aliens or tabloid favorite Bat Boy, but no – they opt …read more

Stanford rapist Brock Turner: "I've been shattered by the party culture"
Convicted rapist and former Stanford University student Brock Allan Turner blames the sexual assault he committed on Jan. 17, 2015, on a campus culture of excessive alcohol consumption, peer pressure, and "sexual promiscuity."
Because, like, there's no way that Brock Allan Turner–oh by the way, did you see his swimming times?–could have raped a woman because he's a rapist.
