EX80-Series insertion electromagnetic flowmeters are designed for use with conductive liquids in 1 to 12" pipe. A choice of materials (stainless steel, brass, and PVC) allows the meter to adapt to a range of temperature, pressure, and corrosive environments.
This product is seized as 12" and is a stainless steel model.
The EX80 is highly suitable for difficult applications with changing viscosities and pulsating flows, such as air-driven diaphragm pumps. With no moving parts, these meters can be used in "dirty" applications where debris would foul a mechanical meter. Like all magmeters, when used in chemical injection applications, these meters should be installed upstream of the chemical line (or far enough downstream to allow complete mixing of fluids before the meter).
Designed for modularity and versatility, the EX80-Series has a current-sinking pulse output that can be combined with the appropriate transmitter or indicator for the application. For analog output and display of rate and total, an FT420 can be used. Blind analog output is provided by the AO55. The PD10 can be used to divide the pulse for pacing chemical metering pumps and the DL76 (data logger) is also compatible. Modules can be wall- or meter- mounted. If the EX80 meter is used with a programmable controller, the output signal can be fed direct, with no other conditioning required.
EX80-Series fixed depth insertion meters require special fittings. Factory installation in the fitting ensures correct depth placement in the pipe. The EX80-Series meter can be ordered in a full power model when a source of electricity is available, or in a low power model that can run on an external battery with solar panel.
Reverse flow output and immersibility are optional.
For additional information, and choosing the correct meter for your application, please review the Product Specifications Sheet.
If you have any questions or need assistance in selecting the correct meter for your application, please don't hesitate to contact EnviroAqua at (818) 890-3200.

The Friday Roundup – 20/04/2018
Every Friday, we round up our top 5 most popular reads from the week, along with sharing some of our favourite finds from around the web.
This week's roundup includes a confidence surge in British-made products, investment for Vimto maker Nichols, plus have robots now mastered the art of flat-pack furniture assembly…?
Our top 5 most read this week
1. Employers driving the skills agenda help to inspire future engineers
Get up to Speed has made a welcome return to its now well-established home at Magna Science Adventure Centre in Rotherham. This high profile, interactive event, now in its eighth year, grows year on year and already has more pre-event bookings than ever before, currently standing at over 2,350, with over 50 schools and education establishments from across the region and beyond expected to attend. The event, driven by employers and delivered through The work-wise Foundation is believed to be the largest of its kind in the North. It has an impressive list of businesses exhibiting, including the likes of Rolls-Royce, McLaren Automotive, Tinsley Bridge, Polypipe and Yamazaki Mazak UK. Many local companies, and increasingly national companies, attend the event with their apprentices and graduates to talk to young people and those who educate and influence them about the opportunities and careers open to them in a fun and interactive way.

2. Survey shows consumers want to buy British-made products
Finding British-made products is the biggest challenge facing consumers who want to buy British, according to a survey of over 1,000 people recently carried out by Make it British. The survey reveals that 50% of shoppers are trying to buy more British-made products since the UK's decision to leave the EU. Over 77% of those questioned said that if they knew a product was made in Britain, they would believe it to be of good quality. This compares to 60% in a similar survey carried out by Make it British in 2013. Around 93% of those surveyed said they would be willing to pay more for a product made in Britain compared to buying a similar product made outside the UK. This is more than double that of the survey findings five years ago when 43% said they would pay more for a British-made product. The Make it British Live! event on 23 and 24 May at The Old Truman Brewery, London will shine the light on some great British brands and British success stories. The two-day event includes a trade show with over 200 exhibitors, a symposium and workshops and is the only 100% British sourcing event.

4. Marine diesel engine manufacturer evolves from R&D business to global trader following ERP investment
After ten years of intensive product development on its marine diesel engine, Cox Powertrain is evolving from pure research and development (R&D) to become a vendor with the ability to handle global transactions. In order to do this, Epicor ERP will be deployed in the cloud to support the manufacturer's first international product launch and accelerate its largescale global growth ambitions. Set for commercial launch of the highest power density diesel outboard engine ever developed, the CXO300, the business anticipates a substantial product demand. The outboard is garnering significant interest from military organisations around the world, who are legally required to phase out the use of petrol-driven equipment in favour of diesel engines.

5. Subcontract market bounces back to record high
The UK contract manufacturing market hit a record high in Q1 of 2018, up a massive 72% on Q4 of 2017. The latest Contract Manufacturing Index (CMI) figures reveal that the market for subcontract manufacturing was extremely healthy in the first three months of 2018, in comparison to a disappointing final quarter in 2017. The latest figures suggest that the market has returned to its previous upward trend. The main drivers for this growth were large companies in industrial machinery, construction equipment and automotive coming back into the market after holding off placing orders before Christmas. The electronics industry, which had previously been the main customer for machining and fabrication services, was still strong but did not grow as much in this quarter.

Recommendation roundup
Our picks of the best manufacturing and business related content that caught our attention this week.
1. With smart cities, your every step will be recorded / via @ConversationUK
Modern cities are brimming with objects that receive, collect and transmit data. This includes mobile phones but also objects actually embedded into our cities, such as traffic lights and air pollution stations – even something as simple as a garbage bin can now be connected to the internet. A smart city collects the data from these digital objects, and uses it to create new products and services that make cities more liveable. Although they have huge potential to make life better, the possibility of increasingly smarter cities also raises serious privacy concerns. Following revelations that 87m people's Facebook data was allegedly breached and used to influence electoral voting behaviour, concerns over how companies use accumulated data has grown exponentially and it is ever more important to properly scrutinise where our data goes and how it is used. Similarly, as more and more critical infrastructure falls victim to cyber-attacks, we need to consider that our cities are not only becoming smarter, they are also becoming more vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

2. Elon Musk: Just walk out of bad meetings / via @BBCNews
Elon Musk wants staff to cut short unproductive phone calls and meetings as he aims to boost production of the Tesla Model 3 over the next few months. Increasing production of the Model 3 is considered key to shifting Tesla from loss-making to profitability, but the firm has repeatedly missed previous production targets. In a leaked email, published by website Elektrek, chief executive Mr Musk calls for a crackdown on the performance of Tesla's contractors, which he says in some cases has been "worse than a drunken sloth". And he says the firm will keep a sharper tally on expenditure in future. Mr Musk's other thoughts on improving productivity include avoiding large meetings – which he says are the "blight of big companies" and avoiding acronyms or nonsense words – "we don't want people to have to memorise a glossary just to function at Tesla".

3. Entire GKN board resigns following £8.1 billion Melrose takeover / via @ShropshireStar @FT
The entire board of GKN have resigned following Melrose Industries' £8.1 billion takeover being made unconditional. It comes as Gavin Williamson, the defence secretary, has signalled to his colleague Greg Clark, the business secretary, that he does not think the takeover deal should be referred to the Competition and Markets Authority. Instead, Mr Clark and Mr Williamson are expected to seek additional guarantees from Melrose on the company's future defence work, before a formal decision to approve the deal is given, probably next week.

And finally, some bonus picks to add to your reading list this weekend:
1. Includes video: Flat-pack heaven? Robots master task of assembling IKEA chair / via @guardian
Those who fear the rise of the machines, look away now. In a laboratory in Singapore, two robots have mastered a task that roundly defeats humans every weekend: they have successfully assembled an IKEA chair. Engineers at Nanyang Technological University used a 3D camera and two industrial robot arms fitted with grippers and force sensors to take on the challenge of building an £18 "Stefan" chair from the furniture company. Working together, the robots completed the job in 20 minutes and 19 seconds after having the parts placed in front of them. More than half of the time was spent planning moves, with the execution taking nine minutes in total. Typically, the job takes a person 10 to 15 minutes, an IKEA spokesperson said. The robots didn't work out what to do from scratch. They were programmed to know what the parts of the chair looked like, how they should go together, and in what order. "What it works out on the fly is how to do it," said Pham. So far the robots can only assemble the chair frame, which is held together with wooden pins. To put each one in place, the robot finds roughly the right spot and then moves the pin around in a spiral until it locates the hole.

2. 'The most significant development since the safety belt' / via @BBCNews
Here is an extraordinary statistic: since the Volvo XC90 went on sale in the UK in 2002, it has sold over 50,000 vehicles, yet not a single person has been killed while driving it, or as a passenger. It is, according to the independent laboratory Thatcham Research, the safest car it has ever tested. One reason for the Volvo's success is that it was an early leader in the use of camera and radar systems to warn drivers about hazards on the road. These systems now automatically bring the car to a stop if it gets too close to another vehicle. Apart from saving your life, Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) – as it is known – could also bring cheaper insurance premiums. Using lasers, cameras or radar, the car will detect an impending collision, and give the driver a warning. If he or she doesn't take action, the car will brake automatically. Thatcham Research calls AEB the most significant development since the safety belt.

It seems that Ben Carson's run for president is all but over. On Wednesday the retired neurosurgeon announced to his supporters that he does not see a "path forward" and will not be attending Thursday's debate in Detroit, the Washington Post reports.
According to two Republican sources familiar with Carson's plans, however, he will not formally suspend his campaign. He will instead make a speech about his political future on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.
For all intents and purposes, however, the Post notes, his candidacy is all but over, following his disappointing showing on Super Tuesday.
"I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening's Super Tuesday primary results," Carson's statement reads. "However, this grassroots movement on behalf of 'We the People' will continue. Along with millions of patriots who have supported my campaign for President, I remain committed to Saving America for Future Generations."
As the Post notes, the decision comes after months of trouble in the Carson campaign, with infighting among staff and strategy shifts that sent the once hopeful candidate who was a conservative superstar into a downward spiral.

Which JetBlue Credit Card is Right for You?
This article contains references to products from our partners. We receive compensation if you apply or shop through links in our content. You help support CreditDonkey by reading our website and using our links.
Fly JetBlue? You may want to consider a JetBlue credit card from Barclaycard. But which one is right for you? We break it down.
|JetBlue Terminal 5 JFK © Ted Murphy (CC BY 2.0) via Flickr
JetBlue is one of America's favorite budget airlines, taking travelers across America and the surrounding areas at low cost.
If you find yourself flying on JetBlue at least once a year, you may want to consider one of the the co-branded credit cards offered by Barclaycard:
Did you know: There is a travel credit card that earns 2x miles on all purchases? And you can redeem the miles for a statement credit toward airfare purchases, including at JetBlue.
Read the Capital One Venture review to learn more.
The JetBlue Plus has a $99 annual fee, but its
We think that despite the annual fee, the

How to Use TrueBlue Points
JetBlue credit cards earn TrueBlue Points, which you can redeem towards any JetBlue flight, with no blackout dates and no seat restrictions. Your points never expire, as long as your TrueBlue account remains open.
Using your points is very easy. Simply sign on to your TrueBlue account (create it for free) to book travel, and select the option "TrueBlue Points." You will then see the flight options listed in points. You can also toggle back and forth between dollars and points to compare the value of the points.
So what are TrueBlue points worth?
Our estimate is that each TrueBlue point on average is worth about 1.4 -1.5 cents. This means that 10,000 points could be redeemed for a flight that costs around $140.
Here's an example of a sample flight from Los Angeles to Orlando in April 2017:
The dollar value of the highlighted flights is $131 (for Blue) and $149 (for Blue Plus). This means that the point value comes out to be 1.52 cents and 1.49 cents, respectively. This seems to be reasonable across most flights.
You don't pay any surcharges for domestic flights, except for the $5.60 Security Fee in each direction.
Why We Think JetBlue Plus Card Is Superior
In our opinion, for an annual fee of $99, you get a lot more perks and rewards. First, the sign-up bonus is a LOT bigger. With the Plus, you get 30,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 in purchases in the first 90 days. This equals roughly $300 to ~$420 worth when you redeem, depending on how you value points. And you also get 6x points for every JetBlue purchase.
Here are some other perks that come with the JetBlue Plus:
- Free first checked bag. With the Plus, you get the first checked bag free for you and 3 other companions on your reservation. Currently, if you book a Blue flight, the check-in price is $25 (at the airport). So if you are traveling in a group of 4 and everyone checks a bag, that alone will help justify the $99 annual fee.
- Get 10% of your points back with every redemption. You also get 10% of your points back each time you redeem them. And the better part? This is unlimited. There's no cap on how many points you can get back. Points are usually posted to your account within 4-6 weeks after your redemption is processed.
- 5,000 points anniversary bonus: You get a bonus of 5,000 points every year on your account anniversary. This is a pretty nice little perk to keep you using the card (again, with the 5,000 points equaling around $50 to $75, depending on how you value points). This and any point rebates you get will justify the annual fee. Keep in mind that it takes 4-6 weeks for bonus points to be posted to your account after your anniversary date.
- $100 statement credit when you book Getaways Vacation Package. When you book a JetBlue Getaways Vacation package of $100 or more, you get a $100 statement credit each year.
- High APR. There is no introductory APR offer for purchases or balance transfers. And the APR is 13.24%, 21.24% or 26.24% Variable, depending on your creditworthiness. So make sure you are able to pay off the balance each month.
- You only get bonus points for dining and groceries. This is good if most of your everyday spending falls within these categories. But if your spending is very varied, then consider whether another travel rewards card like the Capital One Venture Rewards may be a better fit.
- You can redeem on JetBlue flights. This isn't much of a problem if you know you will be taking JetBlue flights. But if you want more flexibility or will be visiting places JetBlue doesn't fly to, then think about whether a co-branded JetBlue card is right for you. Or if it's better to get a general travel rewards card that lets you use any airline. As of January 2017, you can only redeem your TrueBlue points on JetBlue and their partner, Hawaiian Airlines.
Do You Fly Other Airlines?
Not a frequent JetBlue flyer? If there's another airline you prefer instead, consider these cards:
If you fly Southwest:
The Chase Sapphire Preferred card is one of our favorite travel rewards cards. It has the ability to transfer to several airline and hotel travel partners, including Southwest and JetBlue. The value is quite good for the Southwest Wanna Get Away flights (with many routes just 4,500 points one-way).
If you fly Delta:
Gold Delta SkyMiles from American Express, a CreditDonkey partner: Gold Delta SkyMiles offers 60,000 bonus miles if you spend $2,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of opening your new account. In addition, you can earn a $50 statement credit after you make a Delta purchase within your first 3 months. This card earns airline miles: 2 miles for every dollar spent on eligible purchases made directly with Delta. Earn 1 mile for every eligible dollar you spend on purchases. There is a $95 annual fee ($0 introductory annual fee for the first year) (See Rates & Fees).
If you fly Delta, here's what you should know: you can check your first bag free on Delta flights with this card - that is a savings of up to $240 per round trip for a family of 4. Plus, you can enjoy Main Cabin 1 Priority Boarding. Terms apply.
Bottom Line
So, which JetBlue card is right for you? In our opinion, the
But if you don't fly JetBlue too often, consider if another card may be more convenient for you, such as a straight-up cashback card.

For today, we just have a little work horse for a change. The Isuzu Elf - and Tomica's latest model of one. Isuzu have made the Elf since 1959 - and in most countries, including Australia, it is known as the "N-Series". In the US, you will know them as Chevy and GMC "W-Series" trucks.
Tomica have always had an Isuzu Elf model in the line-up since 1972. And they came with a variety of bodies. There were dump trucks, garbage trucks, Coca Cola trucks, crane trucks, fruit trucks, you name it, they made it.
This time, it's a car carrier. And in the regular blue version, it comes with a tiny plastic model of an Isuzu 117 Coupe. Not much detail on the little plastic car obviously, and it even manages to look a little bit too small compared to the truck. The Elf isn't exactly a huge machine.
The white First Day edition comes with an orange Isuzu Bellet Coupe:
I've always enjoyed the Tomica models of these ordinary workday trucks, and this one is no exception. It will not set many hearts on fire, but they make a nice change from all the Supercars that are sold as diecast models.
And that's all for today - enjoy the rest of your weekend!

This was a sweet victory for McIlroy coming so soon after his melt down in the final round of the US Masters where he gave up a four shot lead.
At 22, McIlroy has became the youngest US Open winner since Bobby Jones in 1923. McIlroy is also the fifth-straight non-American major-championship winner and he will move to fourth in the World Ranking.
"I think he has probably the most talent I've ever seen from a golfer," said world No. 1 Luke Donald, who was never in contention and fired a 69 to finish five over par.
"Nothing this kid does ever surprises me," said 2010 U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell (69, two under total). "He's the best player I've ever seen."
Kevin Chappell shot a final-round 66 to join Robert Garrigus (70), Lee Westwood (70) and Y.E. Yang (71) in four-way tie for third place.
"He's going to be the first Rory, not the next Tiger," Miguel Angel Jimenez said as he left the club shortly before McIlroy teed off. "Tiger was Tiger. Nicklaus was Nicklaus. Palmer was Palmer. Rory is spontaneous, he's happy with his life, and he's going to rule the game of golf."
US golfing fans (and players) must be getting a little nervous about the rest of the world's domination of the game in recent times. There are a lot of very good steady players coming out of the US, but they are badly in need of 'stars' with personality and X-Factor talent.

Date of writing: 14/10/2015
To no great surprise, it would appear once again that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is. No sooner had I gone to press with my previous post, I discovered that the smoking ban will now be delayed until probably the second half of next year. Reasons cited include the need to 'ensure adequate provision of cessation services'; a 'phased roll-out' is now being considered. Cowards, if you ask me, but then people don't tend to ask me as they often know the answers I'd likely give. Although having said that, I have been invited to participate in research about research. That is to say, kind of meta-research on how research is carried out in the prison and the way it's perceived by prisoners. Often, when I'm asked to look over something and pass comment, I get complaints of excessive attention to fine detail; it's something I'm working on moderating, dependent on context. This might be good practice.
It would seem that I've started this post as a meandering miscellany, so I shall continue In that vein by passing on the pleasing and slightly surprising news that I got an A* in my iGCSE English Literature. I wasn't too hopeful after all the disruption of moving prisons and the very short notice I was given for the exam itself, but apparently I managed to pull some plausible responses out of the hat in spite of circumstances. My study of Kafka continues to provide useful insights into the occasionally troubling psychologocracy of this place. On that note, I recently received a memo from the psychology department to the effect that they don't think there's any point in them attempting to rehabilitate me, because my risk of re-offending is predicted to be very low. I have been assessed in various ways, and the several measures of my likelihood of re-offending in the two years after my release average out at around 6%. When compared to an overall recidivism rate among prison populations as a whole that's near 50%, I can see they clearly have bigger problems than me. This does of course once again raise the question of why I must continue to sit on the naughty step for the next few years if they don't think they can teach me any lessons.
Moving on, I've finally started training to be a prison Listener, having tried to get involved with this since I first arrived in HMP Anonymous. Most prisons have a Listener scheme, and the Listeners are essentially Samaritans volunteers with more prison-specific training. They play a key role in supporting prisoners in distress and helping to reduce rates of suicide (which are thankfully already low in this particularly institution). Every cell has a call button, and much of the time if it's pressed during the night it will be to call for a Listener. People know that if they tell something to a Listener then it won't go any further, even if they talk about suicide. (This is in contrast to conversations with any member of staff, which could lead to someone being put on a watch and woken up every ten minutes to prove they're still alive. Personally, I'd imagine such sleep deprivation would make things much worse.) I spent several years doing telephone-based listening for 'Nightline' while at university, but it's quite different to be face-to-face with someone in a small space. The training – provided by local Samaritans volunteers – is so far proving to be informative and at times entertaining.
Part of the reason that new volunteers are being trained now is down to a dearth of Listeners in particular areas of the prison, as people have been released or moved on. It turns out that my wing was not one of the problem areas, and as a result I've been abruptly re-situated in one of the A blocks. I now find myself removed from the dilapidated environs of B wing and pleasantly placed in the far north-western corner of the campus, in a building that's probably only around ten years old.
Each of the eight A blocks (including the induction block) is paired with a mirror-sibling, and arranged to form a pleasant shared courtyard with grass and miscellaneous planting. I'm now on the ground floor, facing onto our courtyard, looking roughly east. There are perhaps two-dozen species of flowers, plants and shrubs I can see from my window. This morning I ate my breakfast while watching a flock of goldfinches just a few feet from my window, as they expertly picked the seeds from something I know only as a 'hedgehog plant'.
My room – and this is the first I've had that feels worthy of being called a room – is probably the largest I've had so far. Its footprint is 2½ x 4 metres (or 8'4" x 13'2" if you're metrically challenged), but quite a bit of this is taken up by my very own bathroom. Now, I realise that this is the kind of detail that could invoke the ire of the "it's a bleedin' 'oliday camp!" brigade, but believe me, this is no standard feature of the UK prison accommodation. I feel daily grateful to be one of a small minority in such a position. In any case, it's not technically a bathroom, as it only has a shower: I've not had a bath in over two years. It's difficult to explain what a difference it makes to be able to shut a door between my bed and my toilet. There's also something subtly humanising about having standard Armitage Shanks porcelain fittings rather than ugly stainless steel. The (aerated!) taps also actually stay on for a while after you press them down, which is nice.
I've never understood why all prison mirrors seem to be installed at a height that would be perfect for oompa loompas but only allows me a view of my nipples. Perhaps there is an assumption that criminals all come from some kind of physically stunted underclass. Or maybe the government constructs prisons using a slave race of genetically engineered homunculi to save on labour costs (low overheads, to steal a joke from Being John Malkovitch). Thankfully, on my travels I've managed to obtain a spare Perspex mirror, which moves cells with me and can be removably fixed at an appropriate height using matchsticks and PVA glue.
Anyway, to summarise, I'm now living in something approximating to a basic three-star B & B, so I've little to complain about on that front … aside from the fact that I can't leave my room for 14 hours of the day. Comfortable as I am, the day-to-day limitation of my life choices continues; a gilded cage is still a cage. In any case, I could at any moment be moved with little warning or reason to a much worse position in this or indeed any prison in the country. So for now, I'm making the most of it, and I hope I get to enjoy it for a while.
A fringe benefit of my new location is that I now have a reasonable commute to work, which takes me past some small trees and various flowerbeds, including at the moment two spectacularly flowering yuccas. My previous commute was barely a minute along a short corridor to the chapel. Now I can enjoy taking the October air of a morning, and watch the progress of the seasons. I can see many trees in the fields beyond the fences, and watch the kestrels hover and dive on their unsuspecting prey.
Speaking of the chapel, I've been tasked with writing and directing the Christmas play. This is generally a ten-minute skit that's supposed to be humorous but have some kind of message. I'm mostly managing to walk the line of respectful irreverence, but apparently I still need to convince the Catholic deacon that my Pythonesque portrayal of Mary doesn't go too far. I understand this is largely because the Bishop might be coming to see it. I'm planning to end on a barbershop quartet song to the tune of 'Mister Sandman', which summarises the story. So far this seems to be going down well.
By coincidence, three quarters of our quartet (including me) is now living in the same block, which is nice. Our voices seem to work well together (I'm mostly bass), and in conjunction with the Multimedia department we've had some good times recording a number of Taizé songs for use in future services. I wish I could share these with you, but alas it's quite difficult to get approval for recordings to leave the prison. I am however grateful that I continue to have access to entertaining musical outlets.
I'm not sure how to round off such a wandering post, so I shall simply finish with a lame joke … How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb must really want to change …

By Favour Nnabugwu
INSURANCE and reinsurance losses due to the estimated claims totals reported for tropical cyclone Debbie have risen across Queensland and New South Wales, Australia, hitting US$1.3billion from 68,000 claims.
Tropical Cyclone Debbie made landfall on March 28, 2017 as a category four hurricane; making it the strongest cyclone to hit the Australian region since 2015. The eye of the storm came ashore near Airlie Beach on the north Queensland coast, with estimated 10-minute sustained winds of close to 200km/h.
"This destructive cyclone caused structural damage by flooding, storm surge and wind in regions close to the Queensland coast," according to Swiss Re's Group Chief Underwriting Officer, Mr Matthias Weber.
"We are a lead reinsurer in this market and estimate that Cyclone Debbie has caused higher commercial and corporate losses compared to similar events in the past. We express our sympathies to those affected and will continue to work closely with our partners and clients to ensure that people receive the financial support they need to clean up and rebuild after this tragic event."
The high losses were a result of the densely populated, commercially active area the storm hit, a spokeswoman said, with hundreds of residential and commercial buildings floodedand thousands of residents and businesses evacuated from the region. Reinsurers act as financial backstops for insurance companies and help them pay for large claims from hurricanes or earthquakes in exchange for part of the premiums.
The disaster zone stretched 1,000 km (600 miles) from Queensland state's tropical resort islands and Gold Coast tourist strip to the farmlands of New South Wales state.
Five miners in the cyclone-hit region, including BHP Billiton and Glencore, have declared force majeure a clause typically invoked after natural disasters since multiple landslides and flooding knocked out major coal rail networks.
Despite hindering profits, higher catastrophe costs can ease pressure on pricing in the reinsurance markets.
The expensive cyclone may lead to a rise in Australian property & casualty reinsurance pricing in the next July or January contract renewals rounds, a spokeswoman said. However, the event did not impact business written in April, which is largely concentrated in Asia.
Shares in Swiss Re fell 0.9 percent by mid-morning, lagging Europe's overall insurance index, which was down 0.5 percent.
The post Australian insurers to pay $1.3bn cyclone Debbie claim – Swiss Re appeared first on Vanguard News.

OMC!!!! Are you serious ???
So one thing we are supposed to do is to tell you 7 things about us. So to be fair, we decided to do 2 for each of us and 1 for the Momma because she helps us do all the typing and stuffs. So here we go.
1. I have the ability to detect the scent of Vanilla at as little as 1 part per squillion. Especially if it is mixed into the frozen form of cream.
2. I may seem the most aloof of the boys, but I was a special snuggler with a little feral kitten that showed up in our barn one day named Sophie. She was only 2 when she went to the bridge very suddenly. I still miss her tons.
1. I don't meow. Ever. On very rare occasions, I give a little squeak. But I speak volumes with my eyes.
2. I used to be a feral kitty, but now I am indoors all the time. But I still like to hunt and catch the long snakey rainbow toy and the feather toy and I bring them to the door of the Daddy's office because I love him, and sometimes I think he might be hungry.
1. I love boxes, and bags, and boxes. My mom says my whole name is Dexter Maru.
2. the Momma has trouble sleeping a lot of the time, so I tuck her into bed at night and after the Daddy kisses her goodnight, I stay for a few minutes by her pillow and leave some sweet dreams behind for her for the night.
the Momma:
1. The kitties that have lived with us over the years are very special to us. We miss our Jenny, who felt it was her time to move on in the spiritual scheme of things, GirlieQ who loved Fig Newtons so much she would practically crawl into the Daddy's mouth to get them. Arthur, who was the Daddy's favorite old boy. Abby who was so tiny and sweet when we got her that she melted the landlords heart into saying yes we could have a kitten and Sophie our little feral girl who showed up in our barn one February night that was about -20 wind chill. If we had a bigger home, I would be fostering kittens and have a couple more permanent residents to be sure, but for now we are a happy family and grateful to be making so many new friends in the cat blogosphere.
So that's seven, and now we wish to nominate some of our new found friends who we have met in our short time here. We think you all deserve it, so if we don't mention you specifically, please, let us know and the honor will be ours.
So here's to:
Gracie at the Tabby Cat Club for all the help you have been giving us. You are the best. AND you're a Tabby!
Caren and Cody at Cat Chat - because by the sounds of it Caren could have grown up with my husband in Ohio and I with her husband in Michigan and well, it's a small world after all!
The Island Cats because we used to hang out in the suburbs not to far from their island, a cool part of the "metro" area.
Colehaus Cats because we think Dexter has a little mancat crush on Newton... you know those Gingers....
I Have Cat (s) - because we find the city kitties lives fascinating and Tamar's writing inspiring.
Please visit our friends, heck all of you visit each other because ALL of the kitties we have met in the last few weeks are awesome and we luvz you all!
Harry, Dexter and Tipp

Seth, on Dexter, says: Ever since Mom first saw Dexter, she's been going on and on about Dexter this and Dex that. Newton had to check it out. So did my little ginger sister, Pia. Now every morning, it's three gingers in front of the computer. "C'mon Mom, click here -> cherrycitykitties.com." Okay, she says, trying to grab the camera at the same time, and we get our fill of Dexter one way or another.
Thank you for nominating us and visiting your CB friends!

This past weekend I visited SusieCakes in Brentwood – I got a recommendation from our babysitter plus I heard about them in one of the "Best of" articles. I should tell you from the start that I'm not a huge fan of red velvet but my husband is so I got him 2 of those. I always end up trying them because I'm always curious. The frosting was pretty good – had a great cream cheese flavor. But the cake part was not to my liking or my husband's for that matter. It was bright red, like Ronald McDonald red, so right off the bat it wasn't very appetizing. The cake didn't have that much flavor and it was too light and fluffy. I like a nice dense cake. We ended up throwing the 2nd red velvet out… I felt bad about it, but neither of us wanted it – not worth the calories!
I also got a mint chocolate and a coconut. The mint was okay. But the coconut was fabulous! It seriously made the trip worth it… tasted just like a coconut cupcake should in my opinion. While eying the cupcakes, I noticed their other treats so I got a sugar cookie and a whoopie pie. The cookie was delicious, but the whoopie pie was too sweet. Most of the whoopie pies I've had and made myself have a nice cake-like cookie, but this was more like a regular cookie and kind of crunchy on the outside. I finished it but only with a cup of coffee to level out the sweetness. I wouldn't buy it again.
Overall, the place was okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there again, but if I was in the area or craving a coconut cupcake, I would definitely make the trip. There are too many cupcakes places to keep going to the same one all the time. Part of the fun is the adventure getting there!

The Wonderbag!
I have made a 'wonderful' discovery and it is a wonderful bag called a 'Wonderbag.' Seriously. Much to my chagrin this is not a sponsored post so I can't actually give you a demonstration as to how wonderful a 'Wonderbag' is, but I'm reliably informed that it is indeed wonderful. My friend has one and loves it. Here's a picture of it:
What is this you may ask? As I've said, it is a bag that is full of wonder. Well, not quite. I don't quite know how you'd contain wonder in a bag, I guess it would be rather difficult.
Speaking half sensibly though, this is a low tech version of a slow cooker as far as I can see. I own a slow cooker and I love it, it's great for cooking warming soups and broths and making cheap cuts of meat taste like food fit for royalty. This is one step on from this method of cooking, only cleverereereerer.
The images below describe very succinctly how to use one of these:
All you do is heat your food up on the hob and then you bob it in the Wonderbag, pull the drawstring so the bag is closed, leave it for hours (exactly the same principle as a slow cooker) and then when you decide your food is thoroughly cooked and ready to serve……you dish it out and eat it! Simple really.
The bag itself is made up of two layers of fabric (inside and outside) and the filling is recycled polystyrene which is the insulator that allows your food to cook whilst in the bag. Basically this a heat retention device that cooks your dinner. I'm impressed.
As you know, if you cook a casserole the initial part of the process is on the hob and then you have to leave it in the oven for hours using gas or electricity. The Wonderbag allows you to miss out the last stage and all the associated energy costs. You kickstart the cooking process on the hob and leave the bag to do the rest. This week British Gas announced profits that were frankly too ridiculous for me to remember exactly, something like 60 million, put it this way, it was a lot. More than I have in my piggy bank for sure. I would love to stop putting money in their pockets and keep a bit more for me and my family, as far as I can see the Wonderbag would be a great way of doing that.
What I really love is that this product was designed with the developing world in mind. For every Wonderbag that is bought, another Wonderbag is donated to a family in Africa. Share and share alike. *round of applause from me*
In Africa the Wonderbag is ideal as they have limited fuel resources and facilities for cooking in some areas. It's a brilliantly practical invention and it's made with recycled materials too, so the environmental impact is limited.
I am surprised that the material used is either hand wash or machine wash in cool water, surely food is going to end up dripped on the bag quite regularly and it would be so much more helpful if you could just chuck it in the washing machine? Then again, I'm no expert, maybe there's some reason for this I don't know about.
The Wonderbag have a very informative, interesting WEBSITE that I've spent ages browsing, their ethos is admirable, their product seems perfectly practical and I just think they're worth investing in. I know I'm saving up for one. They do seem rather pricey at £30 for a small one and £70 for a large one, but if you consider that you're actually buying two and giving one to charity, it suddenly doesn't seem quite so bad. Mind you you can get a decent slow cooker for about £15 squid these days, but they do still use energy. The Wonderbag will no doubt save you money over time after the initial blow to your bank account.
I can see the Wonderbag being an absolute gem if you go camping a lot. Bring your food to the boil, bung it in the bag whilst you're out climbing mountains and then come back to a hot dinner. If you go on a long journey in the car, just take your casserole or rice dish with you (you can actually cook a whole range of things in this) and have a proper meal en route. Forget soggy tuna butties, you can eat something far nicer with one of these. 'Don't eat sandwiches that sag, eat wonderful food with a Wonderbag!' Honestly, I should do more slogan competitions. Or maybe I should just ban myself from exclamation marks and bad poetry.
If I ever manage to save up for one of these I promise, hand on heart to post recipes that'll make your mouth water and you'll maybe think about getting one yourself? It seems like such a great product and such a good cause. Donating money to charity is one thing, but I think I feel better donating a gift that will keep on giving. You buy yourself something that eventually saves you money and you help a family in Africa too. Plus they look fantastic and I'd love to have one to display in our kitchen (once I've cleared all the mounds of washing up away that is).
This is not a sponsored post, I just think Wonderbag, and everything about it, looks wonderful. End of. I only have my friend's recommendation to go off, but I trust her implicitly and can't wait to get one myself so I can start cooking wonderful recipes and saving a bit of cash too.

We know that we have the widest gap between the rich and poor in our history.
This has transformed a robust middle-class driven economy into a fragile, weak, wealth-driven one.
Still Republicans, who helped create this income gap through government policies dating back to the Reagan administration, continue to claim that this 1% is the economic engine that drives our economy. According to them, the 1% are the best, brightest members of our society who have earned their reward through hard work. If we tax these folks, we are told, we are not only punishing them for their success, but also creating a disincentive for others who might aspire to their wealth. Speaker of the House John Boehner says, ""The top 1 percent pay 38 percent of the income taxes in America. How much more do you want them to pay?" In other words, a progressive tax system (where the rich pay more than the poor) is like socialist graffiti on the capitalist Mona Lisa.
The reality, however, is far removed from this fantasy.
Successful people are lucky
Malcom Gladwell studied the phenomena of success in his book Outliers. In quick summary, what he discovered is that success is the combination of good fortune and preparation. For example, the billionaires created by the PC revolution (Gates, Ballmer, Jobs, McNeally, etc.) were all born within approximately five years of each other. Those who were older were already working for Mini and Mainframe computer companies when the window of opportunity opened for a disruptive change to the computing industry. Those who were younger ended up working for these seminal start-ups rather than founding them. So it didn't matter how talented, resourceful, and hard working you were. If you weren't born at the right time and in the right place, this particular opportunity passed you by.
The other component that these successful individuals had was early access to resources which allowed them to become experts in software and hardware technology at a young age. Expertise met opportunity and a small number became some of the wealthiest people in the world. The tax rate that they or their parents paid did not make it easier or more difficult for them to be successful. In other words, the window opened for a fortunate few and the first ones through that window with the appropriate skill set took advantage of the opportunity that was available.
Bill Gates' fortune was built on the Windows "tax" that virtually every PC manufacturer from 1995 on has had to pay. Though Microsoft made many millionaires, their flaws have also been well documented. The original DOS operating system that IBM purchased from Microsoft, was virtually stolen from a local Seattle developer who was unaware of the IBM deal that Gates had on the table. The only reason IBM was talking with Gates was that they couldn't come to terms with Gary Kildall for an x86 version of CP/M. Windows was developed on the side by a skunk works group while IBM and Microsoft supposedly were working together to develop OS/2. Microsoft was able to establish their Windows 95 monopoly in part by sabotaging their OS/2 partnership with IBM. Did Microsoft do anything illegal? No. Did they lie, cheat, and steal? Yes. Were they in the right place at the right time? Yes.
Successful people don't create opportunities, they take advantage of them
The same thing applied to those who became wealthy through the growth in the financial industry over the last decade. While they may claim that skill was involved, Nobel Prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman has proven that their only skill was capturing a certain job. That capture was not the result of talent or intelligence, but rather the combination of the accident of birth and ruthless exploitation of others. When you actually look at their performance, someone far less educated could have been just as successful making the same bets using a random roll of the dice. Those who got the biggest bonuses were simply lucky.
In his book The Haves and the Have Nots, Branko Milanovic tried to discover the richest person who has ever lived. Beginning with the loaded Roman triumvir Marcus Crassus, he measured wealth according to the quantity of his compatriots' labor a rich man could buy. It appears that the richest man in the past 2,000 years is alive today. It's Mexican telecommunications robber baron Carlos Slim. Carlos could buy the labor of 440,000 average Mexicans. This makes him 14 times as rich as Crassus, nine times as rich as Carnegie and four times as rich as Rockefeller.
This begs the real question of economic value Carlos Slim brings to the vast empire he built. His critics claim that his wealth depends in part on his focus on developing countries with weak government oversight and a culture of political corruption. His Telemex Company, for example, has 90% of the landline business in Mexico and charges some of the highest usage fees in the world. Do greed, bribery, and worker exploitation count as valuable contributions to society? If not, how can you justify the fact that an hour of Carlos Slim's time is 440,000 times more valuable than an hour of work from the guy stringing the telephone lines that supports Telemex?
I'm not advocating class warfare or socialism
What I am advocating is the free market in its most idealized form. In that form every worker (rich or poor) would be paid EXACTLY based on what they contribute to the economy by choosing to work – no more and no less. That means that the contributions of those making $30M a year deserve no more special treatment than the worker making $30K.
In this system, there is still the opportunity to become super rich. Just produce an innovation that the world needs. When you look at who really make up the 1% these days, most are wildly overpaid for their contributions because they are not innovators. For every Steve Jobs, you have limousines full of corporate bigwigs, financial wheeler-dealers, lawyers, and real estate speculators. In a study published by the journal Psychology, Crime and Law, Belinda Board and Katarina Fritzon tested 39 top paid British execs and found that they shared many traits with psychopaths. Those who have these traits often possess great skill in flattering and manipulating powerful people. Psychopathic traits like egocentricity, a strong sense of entitlement, a readiness to exploit others, and a lack of empathy and conscience are also characteristics that companies look for. The only difference is that poor children with these traits likely end up in jail. Rich children with the same traits end up in the board room.
In current team-based corporate structures, paradoxically it's the psychopathic competitive risk takers who are more likely to get promoted and rewarded. These people make their money by getting lucky with big bets. Companies let them take highly leveraged positions because they have also positioned the taxpayer to cover big loses. The self-centered risk taker isn't deterred by the potential impact that their actions have on others, so it is a perfect marriage for boards who are looking for a fall guy if the big bet fails. As the Bank of England's director for financial stability put it, "If risk-making were a value-adding activity, Russian roulette players would contribute disproportionately to global welfare."
Wealth has weakened democracy
The challenge is that our democracy is warping under the influence of super-wealthy liars, cheats, and thieves. The wealthy have created an extensive infrastructure of junk economics and pseudo academic studies. They pay for a tide of media and legislation supporting the unprecedented concentration of capital occurring today as well as the wide safety net we've been convinced to fund to catch big companies when they fail.
The media, think tanks, academia, and even government are all telling us that we shouldn't reign in the wealthy because it will limit our opportunity to become wealthy. The truth is that the only people who will become wealthy in this economy are the ones who are ALREADY wealthy. That's why we have an income gap. The door has firmly closed on upward mobility for children of middle class and poor families.
The scope of this wealth exceeds any that we have seen in human history. They have been able to accumulate this wealth because we have allowed them to take it. They were able to steal it from us because they convinced us that there was wisdom in their luck. We trusted their delusional claims of superiority and believed them more trustworthy stewards of our wealth than we are. This is what is behind the "wisdom of the free market" claims, when actually the market has been transformed into little more than a game of three card monte the wealthy play with the rest of us. The truth is that these con artists have just bullied and bribed their way to the front of the line. Their only success is that they have convinced everyone else that they deserve to be there.
It is past time to start rebalancing the economic scale

Yep, still riding high from the big SuperBowl victory for the Packers in case anyone's wondering. Kudos to the Pack, their fantastic management, the coaches and Aaron Rodgers for persevering through all the QB tumult the past 5-6 years. I would hope that this forever puts to rest the big controversy/debate over letting a certain someone "retire" a few years back. Looks like it turned out for the best, eh?
Okay, now that that's done I have some rather exciting news regarding BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS. We (meaning the book and me and JD, the creators) have just found out that we've been nominated for four GLYPH Awards! We're up for the following categories..."Story Of The Year" "Best Writer" "Best Artist" and "Best Male Character." Very, very cool. And for those of you unfamiliar with the Glyph Awards, the Glyphs recognize achievement for creators and books that significantly represent African American culture in some way.
So JD and I and Top Shelf are very honored by these nominations. The awards will be handed out May 20th in Philadelphia, PA.
We're also asking anyone out there to please consider BB Wolf, JD and myself when you're filling out/voting for this year's HARVEY AWARDS and the EAGLE AWARDS. And, fingers crossed, we're hoping for some EISNER and IGNATZ nods as well. More often than not these books we do are labors of love...there usually isn't great monetary reward in the book business so when we are recognized with award nominations from our peers like this it really does feel nice.
As our publisher Chris Staros said some time back, we do it "FOR THE GLORY!!!"
In other pretty cool news...My graphic novel, THREE FINGERS, just inked a deal with a publisher in Poland! Very cool. Always a nice little "feather in the cap" when a foreign edition comes out.
In other VERY cool news...Daughter Stella has finally conquered the two-wheel bicycle! Three 20 minute sessions over three days and she's riding around like Lance Armstrong! Another proud Papa moment.

The people of Britain are just like people everywhere else. They are proud, hard-working people, who long for a brighter future. It is also a country with a large working class. Working class people are the people who tend to actually do things, like screw screws and plumb plumbing. Like everyone, they often feel their circumstances should be better. However, their situation is especially poignant, because in countries with high inequality, like the UK and the USA, a working class person can simply drive down the street to see how much the bankers get paid for doing things like screwing the working class.
People who are unhappy and angry often don't attend to the long-term consequences of their actions. Crimes of passion by definition lack the premeditated thinking-it-through that tends to keep people out of trouble. Still, crimes and emotionally-driven actions are often the outcome of a history of emotional dissatisfaction. People don't just get angry one day and stab their partner. They get angry, and then they get angry again, and then they stomp their feet for a while, and then one day they get really angry and they happen to be cutting onions.
Working class people in places with high inequality have been angry for a long time, perhaps since the dawn of work. The referendum on Brexit in the UK just handed the working class a knife and placed a blow-up-doll of the EU nearby.
A lot of people may be inclined to see the Leave vote as irrational. It's quite a bit more complicated than that. Cameron sat at the EU negotiating table and he aimed to make a certain kind of deal. That deal was unsatisfying for the UK, despite Cameron's claims that it should have been otherwise. So he asked the people for a vote. This gave the voting population the chance to negotiate with the EU on Cameron's behalf. Voting either way would send a very important signal that everyone in Europe would hear.
A strong vote to Remain says to the EU decision makers, plainly, "You shouldn't take the British government's whining about the growing EU government seriously, because the British seem happy enough with the way things are." A vote to Leave sends an equally plain message: "We Brits are walking away from this negotiation, consequences be damned." It is a shame that the best political minds of Europe couldn't have turned this either-or checkbox in the voting booth into a slider.
Emotions were high on both sides, in part because the experts (people who are trained to understand the factors involved in good decision making) were still on life-support from the last time their predictions blew up in their face. The economists haven't recovered from the last financial crisis. The recent publicity of the crisis of confidence in science hasn't helped much either. Science has always been the highest forum for skepticism. The whole industry is riddled like blue cheese with the mold of skepticism, and perhaps it should remain so. A crisis of confidence is practically the definition of a good scientist. If Einstein didn't question Newton, you don't get e equals mc squared. If Charles Lyell didn't question the catastrophic theories of geology, you don't get plate tectonics or probably Darwinian evolution. But still. A lot of people in the world have had their fill of people knowing stuff. It is much easier to say something as intelligent as, in the words of Michael Gove, "People in this country have had enough of experts." Then you can believe whatever you want.
Emotionally charged claims were being served up by both sides.
Many have characterized the emotional divide as a split between the Angry and the Scared. The Angry wanted to throw the negotiating table at the EU, and they made claims that often ended with an implicit WTF. The Scared were worried about the consequences of leaving and provided evidence of a similar but different style. These often showed lines going up and down and through the top or bottom of charts. Everyone knows that lines should never rapidly approach the edge of a chart. You can make jabs at people here if you want--like "If people can't read a chart, they shouldn't be allowed to vote," and "Your chart is telling me what happens to the average person, but if the guy down the street gets richer, then the average income goes up while I get to go @*£!$ myself. So you can take your chart and shove it up your *@$£!" I don't recommend these lines of argument. Frankly, they are not persuasive. Very few people are stupid in any meaningful sense and the British aren't either.
Hindsight has the benefit of allowing us to tell stories that predict the outcome of Brexit in advance. But frankly, no one knew the outcome. Especially not David Cameron who gave the people the vote. Nor the bookies who bet on Remain. Nor does anyone know the future, except to say that it is uncertain. In the present case, the people have chosen more uncertain over less uncertainty. They have chosen to abandon the known to explore beyond the edge of the map. There be dragons, some say. But such exploration is often required for growth.
Of course, sometimes you just get eaten.
In a future post I hope to jot down what I think are some of the historical mythologies driving the current emotional landscape.

Some Cubans fear the United States opening an embassy and re-establishing diplomatic relations with Havana for the first time since 1961 will make it harder for them to emigrate to the U.S.
Analysts say the concern is that the U.S. will end the Cuban Adjustment Act. The law provides Cuban citizens with a virtual guaranteed path to legal residency and eventual U.S citizenship.
On Monday, a long line of people formed outside the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, with dozens waiting to apply for U.S. visas.
According to the Associated Press and AFP, U.S. officials have no immediate plans to revise the law.

Get the quick bullet points by scrolling to the bottom of the story.
Of all of the herbs out there, cilantro is probably the most polarizing; this seemingly inoffensive green has given rise to an "I Hate Cilantro" Facebook page, a , and the term "cilantrophobe." Even the legendary chef openly hated it.
So why does cilantro incite more disgust and debate than any other herb? As it turns out, you can actually . According to a of over 30,000 people, those who have the OR6A2 gene actually taste cilantro as being soapy because it codes for the receptor that picks up the scent of aldehyde chemicals. As , these chemicals are also found in soaps, lotions, and the bug family of insects.
Believe it or not, the encyclopedia Oxford Companion to Food notes that the word "coriander," which is another word for cilantro, is actually derived from the Greek word for "bedbug," and that the herb has "been compared with the smell of bug-infested bedclothes."
According to Jay Gottfried, MD, a neuroscientist and former cilantrophone himself, the great cilantro split "probably reflects the primal importance of smell and taste to survival," he explains. "If the flavor doesn't fit a familiar food experience, and instead fits into a pattern that involves chemical cleaning agents and dirt, or crawly insects, then the brain highlights the mismatch and the potential threat to our safety. We react strongly and throw the offending ingredient on the floor where it belongs."
- A hatred of cilantro is genetic; those with the OR6A2 gene actually think it tastes like soap or bugs.
- This is because OR6A2 codes for the receptor that picks up the scent of aldehyde chemicals, which are also in soaps, lotions, and the bug family of insects.
Which side do you fall on in the great cilantro split? Share your thoughts below!

Hello Crafters. Sorry I've been MIA lately. It's been a really busy Summer with our family. Hope you're enjoying a happy and lovely Summer too! I was able to sneak in some crafty time to create this French Window Card. It's an idea that's been floating around in my head, so I wanted to try it using Sue Wilson's fabulously detailed dies for an ornate, French look....
The red color you see inside the window is only a red CS panel that is also embossed, though you cant see it in the photograph here. For the Top and Bottom ornate parts of the window, I've used the lovely Lattice Arched Adornments from the Configurations Collection. The shutters were made by cutting the Finishing Touches Classic Foldover Flower die-cuts in half and adhering those cuts to the window sides. The background Brick embossed look was made by layering two embossed panels side by side. The darker lines within the brick were made by brayering the Embossing Folder with gray ink prior to running it through the Grand Calibur to Emboss. It could still use a sentiment, but I will hold that part off until I need it. :)
Window CARD RECIPE
Stamps; NONE
Ink; Marvy Matchables Gray Ink
Paper; The Paper Studio Off-White and dark Gray Shimmery CS
Accessories; Paper Studio Brick Embossing Folder, Adhesive Pearls, Creative Expressions dies by Sue Wilson; Finishing Touches Classic Foldover Flowers, Configurations Collection Lattice Arched Adornment die, Canadian Collection Background die, Sue Wilson Embossing Folder.

Yesterday I pointed to an interesting post about the power that women breasts have over men. Today I point to the findings of a scientific study that shows that a simple touch by a female can lead to more risk-taking attitude. Apparently, a comforting pat on the shoulder by a female, but not by a male, results in a greater sense of security and hence to a more risk seeking behaviour by the subjects whether they were male or female.
We show that minimal physical contact can increase people's sense of security and consequently lead them to increased risk-taking behavior. In three experiments, with both hypothetical and real payoffs, a female experimenter's light, comforting pat on the shoulder led participants to greater financial risk taking. Further, this effect was both mediated and moderated by feelings of security in both male and female participants.
Reading these two articles I can't avoid but think about casinos and waiters dressed in provocative fashion and how a simple touch on the shoulders of gamblers, while serving their drink, can influence their gaming behaviour. Studies have shown that a simple touch by a waiter can lead to higher tipping by restaurant patrons, so it's not hard to see why establishing a norm between casinos and their waiters about subtle touches on clients as win-win situation – unless you're the client.
You can read the abstract here (full article under pay wall) and a summary here.

Review Thursday – An appeal to my readers
I did not find any product worthy of a review this week. I admit, there are many worthwhile products in the market, and I do have a few of them. The reason why I am not reviewing them is lack of experiments. I want to try and experiment a product before I can review it. I know this isn't possible always, but I will try to follow this principle for as long as I can.
So, all said and done, we are without a review this week. Let me use this excuse to get a break. By the way, before I close, 1. I believe Google Reader is down and not syndicating the feeds. So, if you have subscribed to my blog using Google, you may have received this late. Look for a backup! 2. Please try and leave a comment after you read my posts. This has a greater purpose than just a few lines.
Comments are nothing but opinions. Your opinions matter a lot to me as a writer. It can help me grow. Apart from that, your comments are a fuel for my vehicle called thought. They keep it fired up all the time and help me fall a prey to de-motivation. I am a human being too. I put in a lot of effort to create good and useful posts. When I do not hear from my readers, my initial impression is, "nobody is reading what I write, so should I continue?"
Do you hear me?

Wow….we've really let our committment to answering your questions slide. Here are some good ones:
I'm looking for some first date suggestions besides the typical Fan bar scene. What do you recommend?
We gave it some thought, and decided that a perfect first-date during the fall would have to involve dinner, drinks and drama. Skip out on your dinner bill, or try to avoid your cab fare by bolting from a moving vehicle. You may not get a second date, but you will never be forgotten.
Why are there so many cats on Cafe Darkness? Your male readers are ovah it.
Really? Me thinks any man who uses the word "ovah" has a few cats of his own. Semi-feral cats make excellent company!
I heard that TLW is in fact, an UMOT.
No comment. Next please.
I had a dinner party and several guests arrived after cocktail hour, and I had already begun serving dinner. Who owes whom an apology? Was I a bad hostess?
Who are these rich gypsies who cannot be so bothered to be prompt? Please invite us to your next party. We will be on time to take full advantage of your cocktail hour and free home-cooked meal. Trust. You can be our new bestie, you fabulous host.
How do I tell a new acquaintance that she's more like a stalker than a friend to me?
You have many options. We suggest a Facebook status update.
I really like this boy in my English class, but I don't know how to tell if he's into me too. He sits with me at lunch sometimes and texts me pictures of himself skateboarding, but I don't know if he thinks of me that way. What do I do?
First, stop reading Cafe Darkness. We'll rot your brain. Try the new 90210 show. It's supposed to be age appropriate. Watch and learn from them how to catch the object of your obsession. Your parents can address their nastygrams to the CW instead of the CD.

Miley Cyrus went to the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night and dun did ferget her britches.
The Internet was abuzz Monday about the 19-year-old strutting down the red carpet wearing nothing but a short white blazer designed by Jean Paul Gaultier and zebra-striped Christian Louboutin heels: no pants, no shirt, no bra.
No way.
Way. Twitter was all over it, according to MSN. "Don't u hate it when you forget your jacket when u go out?" wrote one tweep, adding, "Miley remembered her jacket … she just forgot her outfit." Another commentator took a more direct approach: "Hi, Miley Cyrus. Put on some pants."

From Keene, New Hampshire, USA:
I have been using an insulin pump for the last six years with the bent needle, and for the last last month, I have been experiencing bleeding around the needle. I have tried new sites and still have the same problem after about 12 hours. Can you advise as to what might be the cause?
We have heard from several of our bent-needle users that they have also had some problems with them as of late. We have switched them off the bent needles, and they seem to do fine. I think the manufacturing process might have been changed somewhat. Actually, they are all much happier with the sets where the needle is removed and a tiny plastic catheter is all that remains.
[Editor's comment: By chance, have you started use of aspirin recently? That would aggrevate bleeding and bruising tendencies. WWQ]
