Video description: Ty Thomas is all set to open his gym tomorrow, and it's not a day too soon, as he has membership pledges already chomping at the bit to get started. But there's a snag: turns out Ty's gym isn't ready to pass fire inspection, and inspector Jake Davis won't be able to come back for a week at least. Ty is absolutely beside himself at the news, and immediately kicks into damage control to try and fix the situation. He promises Jake and his staff free memberships, but Jake is unmoved by Ty's bribery. Desperate, Ty offers the only thing he can think of, grabbing at Jake's snake as the inspector jumps back. Jake tells Ty he doesn't swing that way, but Ty persists, telling Jake he can tell he needs the release.

The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux wins 'Best Leading Boutique Hotel in Malta'
Once again The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux was announced winner of The Best Leading Boutique Hotel in Malta Award by World Travel Awards which are hailed to be "The Oscars of the Travel Industry"
During the Ceremony held in Greece, World Travel Awards President Graham Cooke explained that Europe is presently in the middle of a fast paced recovery after a couple of tough years, and the brands that have taken the awards are at the forefront of this. The voters have recognised these winners are the key industry players who will be leading the pack over the coming years and this is a springboard to their continued success.
David Spiteri, General Manager of The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux said "Building a unique brand which elevates all of our hospitality offerings is reliant largely on our collective ability to communicate our promise with consistency. This means that every impression our customers have of us – from the first to the hundredth – must be of the highest quality enhanced by our commitment we demonstrate towards excellence.

This weekend, New York Comic Con has been on fire, the go-to place for new movie and TV trailers. That's why it was the perfect venue for The CW to premiere a sizzle reel for their new hit, Arrow. It features the vigilante archer as he battles some notable foes. Not in New York? No problem. You can watch the video right here.
The trailer opens with Oliver stating a plan of action. The crime "does need to stop, and if it's not gonna be the courts and it's not gonna be the cops, then it's going to be me." Warner Bros. just released the NYCC Arrow footage for all of us to see. And after tuning in for its premiere, which earned an astounding 4 million viewers, it's the least they could do.
The video is full of familiar faces and teases the appearance of John Barrowman, Kelly Hu's China White, Jessica de Gouw's Helena Bertinelli, Deadshot, The Royal Flush Gang and Deathstroke. Beware, it's not a pretty picture. They're at each other's throats!
Check out the action-packed footage below:
Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
What villain are you the most excited to see?

We are so lucky that Daniel has shared his top tips on how to get this fabulous look, there is even a list of products needed to achieve it, just click on the products below and you can have them on their way to you in time to practise for this weekend.
Products used
Retexturising Face Primer
Invisible Radiance foundation and concealer
Invisible Veil loose powder
Scandal at Midnight
Sculpt and Slim
Instant Tan
Jumbo Jet mascara
Black Velvet eye liner
Luxury Matte Lipstick Nouveau
Step by step guide to create the look:
- Apply the Retexturising Face Primer all over the face to help the makeup stay flawless for longer.
- Next using the Invisible Radiance foundation and concealer, apply the pretty, dewy base all over the skin and using the Concealer Brush, apply the Concealer where needed.
- Gently sweep the Instant Tan all over the face to add a natural looking warmth to your skin, don't forget to take it in to the hairline, over the ears and under the chin and down the neck.
To sculpt those cheeks
1. Sweep your contour colour under your cheekbone using a soft, angled brush. You can find your cheekbone easily using your fingers – the colour should go in the hollow just beneath it. At this point the colour will look quite strong, but don't panic! This is where we blend; using your fingers, blend the line upwards. If you blend down, you will lose the height of your cheekbone and your face will just look muddy.
2. To make your nose look straighter, use your fingers to rub a little contour powder along the sides of your nose. Blend well. Don't go right to the tip of your nose or it will end up looking too thin. If you want your nose to appear shorter, run a little contour along the nostrils.
4. If your chin is starting to droop a little, just sweep a touch of contour powder under the jaw line to instantly hide any saggy bits and look years younger.
My top tip when contouring: to get that celebrity look, brush a little bit of the contour powder above the inner corner of your eye up to the brow – you'll instantly see your eyes look more defined and really pop!
1: Apply Desire (Lilac Grey) onto eyelid and blend into socket. Then sweep some under lower lash line. Add more to the outside corner of eyes winging it out and upwards.
2: Apply Wicked (Black) close to the upper and lower lash line and in the socket.
3: Sweep Pure (White) under the brow to highlight and in the inside corner of eyes.
4: For a special effect apply Dream (Glitter) over any of the shadows for a sparkling finish.
5: Take the Black Velvet eye liner and apply to the waterline and under the lower lash line, smudge gently with a Smudger brush for a softer line.
6: Using the Jumbo Jet mascara build up the layers slowly to get volume and a real blackness to the lashes, don't forget the lashes at the edges.
- Apply the Retexturising Face Primer to the lips to help lock the lipstick in place make it last longer and helps stop feathering.
- Using a lip brush apply the lipstick carefully to the top lip taking it right to the edges of the mouth and then the lower lip.
- Blot the lips carefully with a tissue and repeat step 2.
And finally to give your makeup that professional finish sprinkle a tiny amount of Invisible Veil loose powder in to the palms of your very dry hands, rub them together till the powder is dispersed evenly over your hands then very gently press your finger tips on your face where you want to set your makeup to help it last longer. See my video for this technique http://www.danielsandler.com/invisible-veil-powder-video.html

More often than I should, I mutter to myself "why can't I live in London?" And this new discovery is just fanning the fire. Pimm's is one of my favorite beverages. Hard to find, but holding a little more ground than it did a few years ago, Pimm's is a delicious alternative to the standard selections of vodka, gin, and rum. It has an interesting history, but mostly it's versatile with the most delicious and creative of ingredients (mix with any combination of cucumbers, strawberries, mint, ginger ale, etc.)
And now I just feel as if I'm being taunted that it is in cans, although if it's anything like Blue Moon in a can… then maybe it's just better that I ruin it for myself and others.

Twitter has launched a beta version of promoted video content using their player (video) card. This is an exciting addition to their advertising deck to help push video content out on the platform. The video format has made a huge impact in digital advertising, driving higher engagement through creating a deeper experience, and has now become one of the most popular formats for brands to embrace.
Twitter has been rigorously testing the player (video) card format in the last few months, particularly noticeable during the World Cup, through sharing promoted videos where brands have been able to share videos through #hashtags for one tap play back. The platform had great success with visual content, with verified accounts seeing a 35% boost in retweets of content with photos embedded, and 28% increase when a video URL was included.
Twitter already offers a wide array of display advertising tools, and this year has seen the launched of several new advertising formats to create more appealing promoted tweets. An example of a new format is their app card where users can install apps from twitter on their mobile devices.
The launch of promoted video tweets is an extension of the current Twitter Amplify programme which enables brands to distribute content they broadcast in real-time (including photos, videos and other sponsored content) charged for based on engagement/actions achieved. Some of the partners who have joined the programme are BBC, NFL and The Weather Channel. A good example of the programme in action was at the Brit Awards where VO5 used the video tweets to display an ad in pre-roll before the tweet content started.
There are also new video tools within the platform for creating video content and measuring the reach and effectiveness of each promoted tweet. The new format within the timeline looks seamless and the promoted video will be identifiable by the yellow promoted symbol, as other promoted tweets are displayed.
Brands are now starting to invest more in video ads for broadcast online as they recognise the importance of the channel for reaching their audiences. The format gives greater flexibility than standard TV ads ever did with the opportunity to tell a story which customers can react to; an exquisite and expensive example of this is Johnnie Walker and Mr Porter joining forces to create the mini movie 'The Gentleman's Wager' starring Jude Law: which has currently enjoyed over 8 million views and is one of a series of video content pieces designed to engage the 2 brands audiences.
The popularity of user generated content was capitalised on by Go Pro who used You Tube to share content and found their customers sharing their own video experiences too. Within the IAB's guide to video marketing they state "video is fast becoming the medium that underpins the power of social networks", highlighting the importance and relevance of the video promoted tweet launch to broadcast awareness of such high value content and maximise its impact.
Twitter's overall goal for the video format "… is to bring more video into our users' timelines to create a richer and more engaging Twitter". To be able to support the new format twitter has launched a new buying model for video of Cost Per View (CPV) this is similar to the buying model which already exists for YouTube true view. Whilst video is not completely new to Twitter, as the ability to embed videos in tweets for advertisers has been around for a while, the new CPV buying structure allows advertisers to pay when a user manually starts the ad displayed. Even if a tweet generated several new followers, favourites or retweets, the commercial model only comes into play if the video is played.
Testing this new opportunity need not be expensive as brands could choose to capitalise on the impact of Vine videos on Twitter, using a similar video length as a good engagement length. As the format has just been released we are still awaiting more information on spend requirements for the format along with initial stats from successful campaigns.
(this is a GIF attached in the email which I have sent shows the video tweet in action)

Tweet Source
Facebook earlier this year announced its Premium Video ads which auto start as the user scrolls through their news feed – but Twitter does seem to more accessible from a commercial perspective at the moment. It will be interesting to compare the engagements achieved by both platforms to see if user initiated or auto playing drives a better ROI. Facebook may also be forced into lowering the barrier of entry to their video ads which currently makes them only viable for advertisers with stratospheric marketing budgets.
With Christmas fast approaching Twitter will be a platform to watch as this new format gets taken up. With whispers about a native shopping service it will be interesting to watch the trends and see how new capabilities change user experience and campaign effectiveness.

Compulsory outsourcing of internal audit functions December 9, 2011Posted by Khurana Khurana & Associates LLP Chartered Accountants in Internal Audit.
add a comment
Let me begin this by saying the views expressed are purely personal in nature and no interpretation/view should be used in any manner.
It is important for the organisations/management to understand the role of Internal Audit function, who is a system reviewer with an ideology of continuous improvement in line with the business processes and latest in the compliance environment.
The Internal Audit function is best when managed internally in the sense they will be dedicated to one organisation and are exposed to the complete working however they may be additionally supported by an outside agency which brings in a different mind-set. If the scale of operations is small the same may be outsourced completely.
It is the prerogative of the management how they feel this function can be used in the best interest of the organisation. Making it compulsory, may not be serve the core purpose since the results of this function are dependent on the skill set and approach of the Internal Auditors.
The team of Internal Auditors should be a composition of Finance and Legal Professionals and may constitute of Chartered Accountants, Cost Accountants, Lawyers.
The statutory auditors will always be held accountable for the figures presented in the annual financial statements. The scope of reliance on the Internal Auditor is for the Statutory Auditor to decide and same should not be a defence available to them.

What can one expect from The Internal Auditors December 8, 2011Posted by Khurana Khurana & Associates LLP Chartered Accountants in Internal Audit.
add a comment
Internal Auditors is a close group of seasoned professionals having an overall sense of the business process. They work closely with the management (across) with a clear mind-set of identifying the areas of risk, potential areas of risk, revenue leakages and recommending corrective measures to manage the risk, identifying the areas of revenue realisation and effective cost management.
In addition to the wholly owned companies, the Foreign Companies having/proposing to have joint ventures/subsidiaries/liaison office or venture capitalist should look at this Audit and Assurance function seriously. They can make a good use, not only to safeguard their financial interest but also grow it, by deploying Internal Auditors as Third Party Assurance Providers (TPA's).
Internal Auditors with a forensic approach can be effective fraud risk managers. The benefits derived will far out way the cost to have good Internal Auditors.

My #Welcome Wednesday slot has no guest today but I'm writing about someone I'd dearly love to interview properly - the man being Marcus Vettius Bolanus.
I'd like even better to have an image of him - but, sadly, I can't find one. Since the times I'm writing about were turbulent and complicated, it helps me to understand them better when I write about them - so please bear with me...
As an author, I wish I could launch in immediately and give details about the life of Marcus Vettius Bolanus, the Roman governor of Britannia from AD 69-71, but as I've found with other historical figures I feel the need to explain first a bit of his background, and the situation he inherited as Governor of Britannia.
|Nero - Wikimedia Commons
Around June of AD 67, the Emperor Nero believed the
to be sufficiently stable to
remove one of the four legions stationed there. He removed the Legio XIV Gemina
Martia Victrix, it's thought, with the
intention of using it to strengthen his forces in the province of Britannia Caucasus
regions. That doesn't appear to have happened since events were not going in
Nero's favour. By AD 68, Nero was overthrown; he committed suicide; and thus
followed a period of extreme unrest amongst the legions and governors of the
provinces who were fighting for supremacy as Emperor.
The death of Nero meant the end of the Julio/ Claudian dynasty but the events following Nero's death are notable in that from this period on it wasn't actually necessary for a candidate to be present in
when declared the next emperor.
The Year of the Four Emperors (AD 68/69) was a turbulent time for the
Empire. Governors of high rank, who had been in charge of
different provinces, vied for the supreme title of emperor but gaining that,
and retaining it, depended largely on the support of the legions and also on
the Senate in Rome.
Sulpicius Galba had the support of the Senate along with the Spanish legions and was declared next emperor after Nero but, after about 7 months, he was assassinated by the Praetorian Guard.

|Otho denarius Wikimedia Commons
Marcus Salvio Otho's coup, supported by the Praetorian Guard, was also a short lived 3 months because Aulus Vitellius was the victor when the legions of Otho and Vitellius clashed at the Battle of Bedriacum.
Otho committed suicide leaving the throne to be claimed by Vitellius- commander of the legions in Germania Inferior.
However, Vitellius only lasted 8 months before being murdered by the troops of Titus Flavius Vespasianus, the man who commanded the eastern legions. It was something of a 'dog eat dog' time.
|Vespasian as

What did the Year of the Four Emperors mean for Britannia and in particular with regard to my Celtic Fervour Series of novels which start in AD 71?
In AD 68, the Governor of Britannia was Marcus Trebellius Maximus who had assumed the role in AD 63. During the five years of his governorship (according to Tacitus) he didn't claim any new territory but consolidated the areas towards the south of Britannia which had already been settled upon by the Roman armies.
continued to grow as a Romanised settlement and he rebuilt Camulodonum, after
the ravages of Bouddica's rebellion. However, not being a military man he had
little control of the legions who grew restive with no new campaigning and—it
appears—they also hated his meanness.
When the Civil War began in AD 69 for the position of emperor, Britannia sent no successor as the other Roman regions had done. Though it appears that the
itself remained
calm, mostly regarding the natives in the south, Trebellius Maximus and Roscius
Coelius, commander of the Legio XX, were constantly quarrelling. The situation
became so troublesome between them that eventually Trebellius Maximus, no
longer in control of the troops, fled from Britannia and went to join Vitellius.
of Britannia
From my point of view as an author, such a situation had to have been a lucrative one for the Celtic Brigante tribes of the north. Any hint of the Roman governorship being weakened had to have been a situation the tribes would have exploited whenever possible.
After Vitellius took control of the Empire, Trebellius Maximus was replaced by Vettius Bolanus and the Legio XIV was sent back to Britannia since that legion had been supporting the cause of Otho. Back on Britannia's shores they would have been regarded as less troublesome to Vitellius.
The situation Bolanus inherited in Britannia in AD 69 wasn't actually so peaceable. The south of Britannia (southern
might have been amiable and accepting of the strictures of Rome
but the north wasn't (northern England),
and neither was the west ( Wales).
Bolanus was immediately to find the supporters of King Venutius of the
Brigantes a sore trial to him. The Queen of the Brigantes, Cartimandua, had
been a loyal client- kingdom ruler for 20 years but her ex-husband King
Venutius wasn't as happy about their suppressed status.
King Venutius launched a successful second rebellion against the armies of Cartimandua and Vettius Bolanus had to send in his troops to evacuate Cartimandua from the territory. It seems that Bolanus only sent auxiliaries to do this and the best he could manage was to rescue Cartimandua. At this point King Venutius was not defeated by
Rome and remained in charge of Brigante
This seems to have been a turning point for Roman expansion of the north. Till AD 69 conquering the north wasn't given much priority but events appear to have changed at this point.
Dendrochronolgy, and other more recent dating techniques, of sites of Roman encampment, guard towers, fortlets and forts in what was Brigante territory are pointing towards an occupation more like AD 69/70, rather than AD 79 during the campaigns of Agricola. Being able to use more than coin finds for dating purposes of these historical sites is very exciting. It makes much more sense to me, as an amateur historian, that Roman troops were being deployed to search and inhabit northern Britannic territory long before Agricola sent his troops north.
Having been involved in extricating Cartimandua from the north, it seems reasonable to believe that Bolanus would have deployed troops in the north as soon as he was able in order to stabilise the region and to conquer more territory for
Rome- even if it was a piecemeal and slow
The poet Publius Papinius Statius (Silvae) claims that Bolanus claimed territory from a British king and established forts. If that can be corroborated from other sources, then parts of northern Britannia were conquered during the time of Bolanus rather than almost a decade later by Agricola.
I await the day when more archaeological finds declare that the troops of Bolanus were in southern
If any new findings can prove his troops definitely settled in central Scotland I'll
be delighted because I hint in my Celtic Fervour Series of novels that Bolanus and his successors as Governors of Britannia (Cerialis and Frontinus) were there long before Agricola. Scotland,

This Morning's bumble-bee-bam story reminded me of a girl I went to college with. She had one of those "You've got to be kidding me" names. It's bad enough when your parents saddle you with a horrendous last name... but when they give you a wack-ass first name too? That's cruel.
...and that's what her parents did to her...
She of wack-ass-name was driving to class one fine spring day, be-bopping along to the tunes she had cranked at top volume. The windows were rolled down.
A bee flew in.
She tried shooing the bee out the window. No luck. She tried swatting the bee. No luck. She tried shouting at the bee. No luck.
And then, she remembered that a local woman had been raped recently, and that she'd picked up a little something to defend herself with - should the need arise.
Well, there was a bee flying around inside her car! An agitated bee no less. What more of a need could there be for self-defense than this? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrright?
With that in mind, she picked up her self-defense weapon: a can of mace... and... well... you can see where this is going, can't you?
Inside a moving car with the windows rolled down, she tried to mace the bee - which means she ended up macing herself on an open highway at sixty five miles per hour. She totaled her car in the process.
I'm sure the police gave her a breathalyzer test when they arrived, and that makes me wonder: Why is there no stupalyzer test?
"I'm sorry miss, but, according to the test results, you're too stupid to be allowed to drive. I'm going to need you to hand over the keys."
"Don't blame me for the bam" says the bee...
"Just blame sheer stupidity!"

Water, water and more water!
1st December 2012
At the Isle some 270 acres disappear under The River Severn when it is in full flood, with the water level will coming up in the region of 14 foot in the space of about twenty four hours.
On average this will happen about twice a year and especially now as the water table is nearly at record heights. Practically for us we need to be ready to move sheep from the flood meadows to the safety of the dry holding pens at the drop of a hat.

CDC warns dentists on dangers of IPF – agency doesn't know what's causing the diseasesDentists
The Washington Post.
Here are five things to know:
1. The CDC reported dental professionals were 23 times more likely to develop IPF than the general population. However, the CDC is unaware of what in their work environments is causing the disease.
2. In 2016, a Virginia dentist contacted the CDC to report he was diagnosed with IPF and several other dental professionals were being treated at the same clinic. The investigation lead to the discovery of 900 patients being treated at the clinic during a 21-year period, nine of the patients worked in dentistry.
3. Dentists and staff are exposed to silica, polyvinyl siloxane, alginate and other toxic substances that can be inhaled when polishing dental appliances or preparing amalgams. The report also indicates older dentists fare worse due to the increased opportunities for exposure.
4. The patient who first reported his case to the CDC never smoked but did not wear a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health-certified respirator when practicing. Although he may have began wearing the mask halfway during his career, it may not have been enough to stop the disease.
5. There is no cure for IPF, but there are preventive measures, such as ventilation and wearing a respirator during specific dental procedures. This is the first time the CDC has warned dentists and staff may be vulnerable to IPF.

Let's be clear here: Some taxes are only going to hit the wealthiest among us. Things like estate taxes and investment taxes pretty much only do hit the rich, because only the rich have these things. We're not talking the "1%" here either. We're talking middle-class up, who all, to the lower-class, would seem pretty rich, with their home ownership and disposable income to invest. Other taxes, whatever form they may take, can actually hit the poorest majority of our population much harder. California just approved a few new taxes that unfairly target poor working-class Californians, and I'd like to go over those, as well as point out how insane these taxes are, since they're ostensibly created as behavioral adjustments, rather than accounting for externalities.
So, first off, we have the "bag tax". This is also known as the "bag ban" as it does both. Regular old flimsy plastic bags are now illegal to use as a retailer in California. Paper bags now require a $0.10 tax. The idea of this is to encourage consumers to use more reusable, cloth bags. Unfortunately, many of those reusable cloth bags are made from non-biodegradable polyester fibers, and if they break, guess where they go? You guessed it, right into the landfill along with the deteriorating, quickly disintegrating old plastic bags. That's not the issue I'm talking about right now though. The issue is that these neat cloth bags can cost anywhere from $0.50 a piece to easily over $5. Guess who doesn't usually have $20 to spare in the grocery store? No, not Mr. Pennybags. It's the poor. The people who already have a hard time affording groceries are the ones who suffer most from this tax, since it's a truly flat tax.
Let's compare a family of four earning a gross income of ~$19,200 a year with a single wage-earner to a family of four earning $57,600 a year, the equivalent of $30 an hour. Never mind that the higher-earning family will take home a smaller percentage of their total gross than the lower-earning one, we're looking at gross, which is what everyone who wants higher taxes looks at too. Say the family with a $19,200 income wants to buy bags but always forgets them, as we all do. Every damned time, I swear. Let's say they spend around a hundred bucks in a trip to the grocery store, every week. They get a specific volume of foodstuff, let's say enough to fill 4 bags, one for each family member. Fair enough, a week of food in 4 bags is pretty reasonable for an "average" family. If they want to use paper bags, that's $0.40 a week, or $1.60 a month. That comes out to only $19.20 a year. Not too bad, right? Well, that's $19.20 they could have used for a little more food over the year. Maybe some higher-quality, healthier food, but because they had to add the forty cents, maybe they skimped on the romaine and got iceberg instead. Not such a big health impact, but an impact nonetheless. But what if they actually bought into the reusable bag lie, buying bags at, the best price I could find for useful ones, $0.88 a piece? Now we're talking some real money. That's a good $168.96 a year if they keep forgetting bags. Again, this isn't implausible at all. At $0.88 a piece, it doesn't seem that bad, but multiplying it, that's a damn good amount of money. Specifically, that's 16 hours of gross pay right there, or two full days' worth of pay, pre-tax, just for bags.
What about our $30 an hour equivalent family? Well, that's a little over half a day for them. The primary wage-earner gets that just after lunch. Basically, it takes more effort when you're poor to afford a flat monetary tax than it does a simple percentage tax. And don't kid yourself, being forced to buy a product is a tax one way or another. It is very much equivalent to being charged $700 in taxes or pay $1200+ in insurance premiums. Sure, you get more out of paying more, but only if you actually use it. This is a flat tax that only hurts the poor, while the rich get to feel smug about "saving the planet". Disposable diapers take up a LOT more landfill space than plastic bags, but nobody's trying to ban those.
Next up, we have the new gas tax in California, pushed in by our wonderful governor, head of the California Uber Alles movement, Jerry Brown. It's $0.19 a gallon. That's, again, a true flat tax. Not a flat percentage, but a flat monetary amount. Thus, the more you earn, the less it harms you. Let's say you can afford a Prius, which starts with an MSRP of over $23,000. Not too bad. Lower-middle class can pull that off. You know who can't? FUCKING POOR PEOPLE. Let's say you have a job, again, minimum wage, that you have to drive 20 miles for. You get minimum wage for this job. Again, I'm going with gross even though it's completely inadequate as comparison since so much of this will disappear through state and federal income taxes. So, you've got a really neat car. It gets, let's say 28 miles to the gallon. With a 20 mile commute, you're going 800 miles in a month. Unfortunately, because you're poor, you can't really afford to move to the suburbs near work, so you have to stick with one of the more rural areas outside of work. Moving isn't an option. This is reality for a LOT of poorer Californians. So your pretty-decent used car gets about 28mpg, and I'm being incredibly fair here. Oddly enough, this works out pretty evenly, requiring about 28 gallons. 28 x 0.19=$5.32 a month. That's $63.84 a year, just in new taxes for the poor. Meanwhile, the guy in the Prius, cheating the goddamn system by getting better mileage in the city, still manages to average out around 55mpg if they, for some reason, have to commute. 14.6 gallons a month. 14.6 x 0.19=2.77 extra a month, or $33.29 a year. Roughly half. And you're earning a crapload more per paycheck at this point. Higher taxes = the richer people winning again. We're not even going to talk about people who earn six figures, because that amount is barely worth picking up off the ground to them.
Finally, we have the cigarette tax. I saved this for last because it's easily the most controversial. Some say it's great because it encourages people to quit smoking and funds anti-smoking campaigns and stop-smoking programs. Let me bring you into the secret world of healthcare: No, it doesn't. The taxes gathered through this bill, at $2.00 a pack or $20.00 a carton, mostly go to healthcare companies like hospitals and, yes, even insurance companies. You heard me. The people denying your CPAP machine are getting money because you smoke. And no, the bottom-rung folks aren't getting a dime of this. I check with myself; nope, no raise.
This is the most inane tax of them all, simply due to demographics. The few wealthier people who still smoke are only marginally hit by this tax hike. They're actually the most likely to quit due to it, though. This is because, statistically, wealthier people stay wealthier people because they don't spend money they don't have to. Poorer people are less likely to enroll in stop-smoking programs, simply due to the costs involved, and typically don't have the means to shop around for the cigarettes they're addicted to. Poorer people also tend to work high-stress, physical labor jobs, and have further stresses due to financial difficulties. Rich people don't smoke. Middle-class people don't smoke. Poor people smoke. Statistically, of course. I'm not quite middle-class, but I'm not on the poverty line either. I smoke. I found a way around this system, though. Indian reservations do not have to abide by state laws, and as such, can sell tobacco products with zero taxation. It's not the top-end tobacco, mind you, but $29 a carton is a hell of a lot better than $80 a carton or more. How do I do this? I travel about 20 miles every month or so and pick up several cartons of cigarettes because I have that kind of budgeting. Dropping $300 on two and half months' worth of cigarettes isn't so bad, and the gas to get there doesn't hurt me so much because I get about 35mpg highway, so it more than pays for itself for an addict like me. You're saving $20 per carton driving that distance, so at the least I have to spend less than $20 a week in gas to get there and back. And I do, by a long shot.
See, this is the unfortunate resolution of these taxes: People who aren't rich will take extra time out of their lives to escape the taxes, while people who are rich don't generally give a crap. There's something more nefarious about this law that wasn't heavily-discussed during the debates over it, too: It amends the California constitution. While people were busy rallying against cigarettes, e-cigs, smokeless tobacco, and various other nicotine products, they failed to notice that California now no longer has to supply a percentage of new taxes to education. That's correct, this new law allows funds to allocate to whatever the new laws want to, and in the case of this tax, that's to corporations that do not have your interests in mind.
But, ultimately, who is to blame for these taxes? Is it all Governor Brown? No. He was only really responsible for the ridiculous gas tax. The rest are on the California citizens, and only the left-leaning ones, which are, unfortunately, the majority. These are the same people who voted in a bullet train between Sacramento and San Diego that will be completed sometime between now and the heat-death of the universe. These are the same people who voted to make sure chickens had enough dancing room while being transported for slaughter, while at the same time largely ignoring the fact that gay people might not be able to get married. Not that I think they should, because marriage is idiotic in the first place, but if they want to ruin their lives, I think that's a more important freedom than your nuggets being comfortable while they're shipped off to be ground into paste.
California isn't alone by any means in this "tax and don't even bother spending" economy. It's just that my state is the most ludicrous about it. Taxes may not seem too much at first glance, but to reiterate my previous calculations, let's figure out what a carton-a-day smoker will spend extra in taxes in the next year. $20 a carton, which is a weekly buy for many smokers, is going to come out to $80 a month. This equates to $960 a year. This isn't the cost of the product. This is the taxes on that product. That's enough for a shitty HSA-eligible insurance plan, and that money is going to the very people you would normally pay to tell you that you're smoking too much.
These taxes are, once again, simply there to control people. They're not even redistribution of wealth. They're simply punishing the poor. What's my solution? Drop the ridiculous taxes. People who care about the environment will buy cloth bags, while the rest of us will sigh and silently scream while we pay ten cents a paper bag. Either that or just stuff everything into the trunk without bags, because that's a lot easier. People aren't going to drive less for work because they have to pay nearly an additional pair of dimes per gallon. Rich people won't care, and poor people will just take fewer vacations because, why bother?
Stop these taxes before the poor die. This isn't the "flat tax" that many economists talk about. That's a percentage, and I am completely on board with that. I like the idea of a high consumption tax taking the place of our already-ridiculous income tax brackets. Exclude staple food and necessary durable goods, and you've got a tax that proportionally hits rich people harder and poor people much less. A family that buys bread, milk, eggs, flour, butter, and salt will pay zero taxes, while the family that buys imported lobster gets nailed. The people who buy a $10,000 car get a $2,000 hit, while the people who buy a $60,000 car get nailed with a $12,000 tax bill. Neither one is put out more by this tax than the other. $2,000 stings, but that's about $200 a month with a 5-year lease, while the now $72,000 car costs $1,200 a month. This equally hurts for both groups, and encourages less spending on needless upgrades.
Let's stop with the bullshit taxes and point out that they aren't hurting the rich at all, nor are they helping the poor. They merely serve to increase the power of the government. Bigger governments aren't known for their subtlety. They take away freedoms, punish you for being poor, and some of them even kill tens to hundreds of millions of people. Do you want to be like Stalin? Okay, maybe you do if you're left-leaning, but here comes the Godwin: Do you want to be like Hitler? That's where these increased taxes and greater central government power lead.

Phew, landscape photography certainly can leave you feeling rubbish at times. Yesterday was certainly one of those days.
I decided to head down to Portballintrae as I had spotted some nice rock formations as I headed for home after a dawn shoot the previous morning. After some research the previous evening I noted that the sun would be rising above the visible horizon just as the tide was starting to go out.
With plenty of interesting looking rocks it was time to bring my filters from Formatt-Hitech out to play. A 10 stop to begin with and then perhaps even the 16 stop.
Working as a landscape photographer means you are constantly thinking. The changing light. Your composition. The camera settings. The elements. Which filters to use. The tide. The mood. I know I've had a challenging time in the field when I arrive back at the house feeling quite exhausted. This was to be one of those mornings.
Despite the 3 hour radar forecast suggesting that the rain had passed I knew as soon as I had arrived that there was plenty of threat of the advancing squalls coming ashore.
Time to get out that one piece of equipment that every outdoor photographer should own - the umbrella. Sadly though the only one to hand was one belonging to my wife, polka dots and all, and it clearly had not been used in a while. Upon opening a gust of wind caught it, turned it inside out then upside down, rendering it pretty useless.
I was now left holding what resembled a rather colourful stick with various bits of wire sticking out like a poor mans Edward Scissorhands.
Typically the session went a bit like this;
- Consider a composition and get setup. Dial in the camera settings.
- Rain on the front of the filters. Wipe away the rain drops. Notice that some fluff from my gloves has gotten onto the filters.
- Remove gloves.
- Use blower to remove fluff
- Recompose image as camera was slightly moved as filter was being removed
- Light has changed and now is very flat.
- Put cover over camera and wait for change in light
- Hail starts
- Hands are cold so back to wearing gloves.
- Light starts to change so remove cover and check camera settings
- Take test image and notice some light leaks coming in for long exposure.
- Grumble
- Adjust cover over filters to protect from light leaks
- Take another test shot
- Notice still one or two drops on filter so clean again
- Tide now has moved out and no longer gives a strong foreground interest
- Take a deep breath, pickup camera and move forward to look for another image
- Repeat
As the morning progressed I moved a little on around the coast and noticed again that the squalls continued to toy with me. This time however it would seem they would be moving across in front of me, rather than over me. This could make for some interesting conditions on the far end of the image. The sun, from time to time, would poke out from behind the clouds lighting the foreground and more importantly a few cottages around half way into the image. This could work I thought, and certainly on the back of the camera I was reasonably pleased. I was shooting RAW but with the Film Simulation B+W(+R) applied to give me a feeling of how the final image would look.
I really liked how the sun highlighted the cottages, and then how the squalls of weather were moving over the land in the distance. Sadly however upon my return and viewing the image full screen I just don't think it's as strong as I had hoped.
While I was disappointed not to come away with a shot I realised that the morning had actually be a very valuable lesson. I talk about that more here on my YouTube channel.
And what about those Sausage Rolls I hear you say? After coming home I decided to make some and they were pretty tasty indeed :)
There was more to come from the shoot, later that evening. Plenty of ups along with one major down .... but I'll leave that for another post.
Right, time to have another one of those Sausage Rolls .. just the one of course :)

Actually, DBusMenu is an upstream KDE feature. You may recall it was originally a joint Ubuntu/KDE development.
Hmm, I don't recall. But history is best argued over beer rather than e-mail :-)
We're at KDE SC 4.11 RC1 right now, so it's too late to do anything upstream KDE in 4.11 and the Plasma Workspace is feature frozen after 4.11 so that upstream can focus on Plasma 2 (that will use Qt5 and KDE Frameworks). So we're several release cycles away from being able to do anything upstream.
That's unfortunate. I don't know if I can get someone assigned to it, but if so, would you guys be willing to distro patch it? I'm not sure if QMenuModel works on Qt 4, I think so, but hopefully Lars can verify that when it gets to his timezone.

We are using > QMenuModel for all of the indicators in the Unity 8 interface, so you > can expect it to be well supported. How does this impact support in applications? For Qt/KDE apps (due to the integration in Qt4) it just works. There's no need to patch individual applications. Is this true for QMenuMode? Is it for Qt4 and Qt5? What's the upstream plan for it?
QMenuModel is just a helper library, similar to libdbusmenu. It's not doing the integration aspects there. We haven't discussed (AFAIK) porting libdbusmenu-qt users to QMenuModel with any seriousness. I think that we should, but I'll need to gather more data on the impact, etc. I imagine that most of the people I'd ping on it are maxed out for 13.10 already though.

That would have to be fixed since many users have both Kubuntu and Ubuntu installed and I think we want to support that. Also, the gtk/gtk3 patches that supported appmenu-gtk have been dropped, so even if we brought the package back, it wouldn't build. Can those be added back? Also keeping it now, just to drop it for the LTS doesn't really help much since the Plasma Desktop will still be using DBusMenu and we'd just have to drop it then.
Yes, I forgot about the GTK patches, those are a bit trickier. What do you think would be a good solution? Do you think it'd be reasonable to have GTK applications not work in the plasma menubar for 13.10? That's clearly the easiest solution, but perhaps too broken.
