Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/13/2012 -- ReportsnReports.com adds new market research reports on Banking Industry and Mobile Banking to its store.
1. The Business Case for Mobile Banking
The number of mobile phones in use around the world in 2011 reached six billion while the number of mobile banking users worldwide reached 300 million with adoption of the service in developed countries growing significantly. Mobile networks now cover between 85-90% of the world's population. Modern data and telecommunication services appeal to younger generations, meaning that they have a good perception of institutions that offer mobile financial services. Banks and mobile carriers are moving towards more sophisticated techniques of marketing as a result of security and user-friendly concerns. In order to enhance their marketing, banks and mobile carriers are using IT technology for ensuring security and user friendliness. Mobile banking is not only used for basic transactions of online banking, such as checking balances, viewing recent transactions, paying bills and transferring funds but also for marketing of the various products and services offered by banks.
This report will allow you:
- To understand the future potential of mobile banking
- To understand its usage both in well developed countries and developing countries
- Gain insight into the key technology developments for electronic payments via mobile
- To analyze the mobile advertising market
Key highlights
- Mobile banking is replacing branch approach banking.
- Mobile payments are replacing paper-based payments.
- Advertising on mobiles is replacing traditional electronic marketing.
- Use of mobiles has grown faster than broadband connections.

2. Mobile Banking and Payments
At the beginning of 2011, 30% of mobile phone users in developed markets used a mobile banking service on their mobile phones at least once. By 2015 however, a number of forecasts expect at least 50% of US mobile users to be conducting transactions from their mobile devices, doubling the 25% utilization rate in 2011. Despite the success of mobile banking apps, the future of mobile banking is likely to be dominated by browser-based solutions, due to the convergence of PC-based and mobile internet. The mobile financial service adoption by consumers will grow significantly during the next few years, exceeding the use of online banking by 2015. By offering mobile financial services, banks can reasonably expect to increase their sales by as much as 60%, while research has shown that implementation of such technology can reduce the cost of acquiring a new customer by 20% due to the increased effectiveness of mobile-related customer acquisition marketing.
This report will allow you to:
- Analyze the growth of the overall mobile industry
- Understand the role of technological development in the growth of mobile banking
- Gain insight into the technology and infrastructure supporting electronic payments
- Understand how banks are using mobile banking to beat the competition
- Examine the key features of mobile financial services
Key highlights
- Banks in developed markets should sharpen their marketing so that customers have a better understanding of the added value of mobile banking services.
- Mobile banking needs to be part of a multi-channel strategy able to increase customer acquisition and loyalty rates.
- There are potential channel savings to be made, but above all there is an opportunity for banks to increase sales through new value-added services.
- Younger generations seem to be fascinated by modern data and telecommunication services and have a good perception of institutions that offer mobile financial services.

Santa Fe Institute Community Lecture
The Minds of Children
Human children are dependant longer than the young of any other species. Scientists used to believe babies were irrational and their thinking limited. New research suggests that even the youngest infants have powerful learning abilities; that toddlers analyze statistics and do experiments; that preschoolers use discoveries to imagine alternative futures; and that young children have a sophisticated grasp of morality. Babies, in fact, might be smarter, more thoughtful, and more conscious than adults. Psychologist, philosopher, author, and mother Alison Gopnik surveys insights from psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy that suggest our prolonged period of childhood helplessness is responsible for our uniquely human consciousness, and asks whether babies hold the answers to our most profound questions about love, morality, exploration, imagination…and what it means to be human.
Alison Gopnik is a professor of psychology and affiliate professor of philosophy at UC Berkeley and author of several books on child learning, including The Scientist in the Crib and The Philosophical Baby.
Lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.

I've removed the beginning of a list of treaties. It is information that belongs in an encyclopedia rather than a dictionary. Eclecticology
Hello. I have put the list of treaty because I thing it is useful for translators. I am currently studying translation (well, when I am not on wiki) and I have to look for the exact translations in Spanish or Fench of some proper names. The translation is not always obvious : where to put capital letters, names of places which changes, names of persons who changes ... Regards. -- youssef
- There is already a small list of treaties at w:List of treaties. Perhaps these might be compared to whatever similar lists may exist on the Spanish or French Wikipedias. If they don't exist, you may find it a useful exercise to create them. Eclecticology 09:56 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)

Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIPP)
Access and Privacy Services Office
- Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act [643 KB]
General Regulations [417 KB]
Common Questions and Answers
1. What is the purpose of the Act?
The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act has five purposes:
1. To allow people to request access to government records.
2. To control how government collects and uses personal information.
3. To allow people to request their personal information from government.
4. To allow people to request corrections to the personal information.
5. To allow people to seek independent review of decisions by
government about access and privacy.
2. What does it cover?
The Act covers the records of all departments, agencies, boards, including school boards, commissions and crown corporations of the provincial government, referred to as public bodies. You can see a list of the public bodies under the Act.
3. What is a record?
A record is "a record of information in any form and includes: books, documents, maps, drawings, photographs, letters, vouchers, notes, images, audiovisual recordings, x-rays and papers and any other information that is written, photographed, recorded or stored in any manner."
The Act applies to records of government but does not include software or any mechanisms that produce records.
The Act exclues specific types of records because they are already available to the public.
4. What is meant by "Freedom of Information?"
Freedom of Information gives people the right to request access to the records of government.
A request does not guarantee access. Some information is protected and under the Act cannot be released. Each case is reviewed to determine what information can be released.
Freedom of Information also give people the right to view information the government holds about them and to request corrections of that information.
Public Bodies have Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy co-ordinators who analyze records and apply mandatory and discretionary exemptions. The final decision about what information will be released rests with the head of the public body as defined under the Act.
5. What about Protection of Privacy?
The Act provides guidelines for the use of personal information by government. There are several important provisions:
- Public bodies can collect and use personal information only for purposes authorized under an Act; for law enforcement purposes or for operating programs or activities.
- The Act requires that people be informed about the authorization for collection of information and how that information will be used at the time the information is collected.
- Generally, the Act states that information must be collected directly from the individual to whom it relates.
- The Act allows the use of information for a consistent purpose - that is, consistent with the purpose for which it was originally collected.
- An individual may be asked to give consent for their information to be used for other purposes.
6. How does it all work?
To make a request for information under FOIPP, a person fills out an application [157KB PDF file] (en français [162KB PDF file]) and sends it to the public body responsible for the records. This department will review the application and determine, guided by the Act, whether the record can be released in whole, in part or not at all. Generally, public bodies will have 30 days to respond to the request. Applicants will be charged a five dollar fee to apply. Other fees may apply. There is no fee to request your own personal information.
7. What is the role of the Information and Privacy Commissioner?
The Commissioner is appointed by the Legislative Assembly. People who want an independent review of a decision regarding the release of government records or use of their personal information may ask the Commissioner to investigate. The Request for Review form is used to apply for a review of a decision. There is no fee to file a Request for Review with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner.

Good article. Otoh one spec will always be the min/maxed damage spec, and the best you can hope for is really a bit of almost-parity here and there, since for the good of us all you really have to agree that balancing between classes has to come first, between class-specs second - i.e., between warrior tanks/DK tanks/pally tanks/druid tanks & between rogues/cat druids - and between the individual specs within a specific class a far distant third.
Doing the first two and keeping this at least borderline sane in both raiding, solo play and arena/BG pvp is a pretty tall order, I'm sure you'd agree.
That said - damn, I hope they succeed. I'd love to see a huge difference in specs and playstyles among the rogues I raid and PVP with. Been a long time since I've seen a bunch of Shadow Step'ing in raids...

We thought we were booking a room at a quiet country inn. Wow, were we wrong. This is a dive. From the writeup on this site: "...a truly unique and relaxing time travel experience. Our Inn provides comfortable private rooms with modern amenities and common living rooms which are both antiquated and inviting." From their website: "Fitzwilliam Village has changed little over the last 150 years, allowing our inn to accommodate visitors from around the world for an authentic antiquated experience." So you can imagine our surprise when there was an all night rock concert directly under our room. No, it was not on their calendar. We had no idea, and were not told when we reserved the room. When I asked the management about the rock concert under our feet we were offered ... ear plugs. "There's nothing I can do", said the owner. No attempt at accommodation, no sympathy, just Sorry, too bad, tough. We ate in their restaurant too, it was mediocre at best. Needless to say we will never go back.

As long as Howard Stern is a judge of Ameirca's Got Talent; I no longer have interest in seeing the show anymore. I like it alot better when Howie, Sharon and Pearse were the judges. They were the show along with the acts. With Howard on, I just can't stomach it anymore. I just have no desire to see it and it used to be one of my favorite shows, but when I heard that Howard Stern was a judge; NBC killed it for me and it was no longer any fun.

Why Yingli Green Energy Holding (YGE) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Yingli Green Energy Holding (YGE) stock is climbing on Tuesday after the company nearly halved its quarterly net loss in its first quarter, increased its gross margins by tamping costs, and guided for an increase in orders in coming quarters.
The energy company recorded a net loss of 35 cents a share in its March-ending quarter compared to losses of 63 cents a share in the year-ago quarter. Gross margins climbed to 15.68% from 4.14% a year earlier as the company better managed its costs and overheads. Revenue was 0.2% higher to $432.2 million.
Yingli Green said it forecasts PV module shipment targets in the range of 4GW to 4.2GW for the full year ending December, representing an increase of 23.7% to 29.9% year over year.

TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate YINGLI GREEN ENERGY HLDGS CO (YGE) a SELL. This is driven by a number of negative factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally high debt management risk, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins."

Kid-Made DIY Dot Art
Mer Mag
Merrillee of Mer Mag has always inspired us with her family's beautiful projects, and once again Mer and the boys have come through with this dot art.
We've seen great DIY dot art before, but Merrillee's tutorial is particularly helpful because it is so detailed and she does an excellent job of getting the kids involved. The boys at Mer Mag had a blast and took great pride in making this artwork for their room.
So whether you're Team Hirst or Team Kusama, round up the family and grab the craft punch, and check out the details at Mer Mag.

I included this in a roundup of DIY art last week, I love the idea!!!
who makes those great boy pjs in the pic?
Notice how the dots are so even and if you go to the site the boys don't place the dots evenly. Clearly the parent will have to come and readjust every dot, which is fine. Little kids are NOT going to make them that even, even with remeasuring and spacing. Although a project worth doing. Just make sure your kids leave the room before you readjust every one of their dots! So cute..I want to do this.

|Post a Msg
|What's New
I am trying to find a pediatrician for my daughter and the two main pediatric offices in the East Bay don't accept my insurance plan - Blue Cross PPO. I find it unacceptable that the plan I am paying monthly to have, won't provide care at either of the two major pediatric offices in my neighborhood. Who do I complain to -- the insurance, the doctors? I've tried asking my husbands employer if we can switch to an HMO plan, but that is not an option. Any ideas out there?? - I miss Berkeley Pediatrics
If this insurance is through the workplace, you should be contacting your human resources department about the inadequacy of the medical coverage they are purchasing for you. Complain also to Blue Cross. Ask them what they reimburse the physicians who are contracted with them. They will probably tell you that that is proprietary information. Rememember, you and your workplace are the consumers, should you be purchasing a product without knowing what you are buying? Lastly, fight for the opportunity to switch plans. Good Luck Elizabeth
We are considering changing our health insurance from Kaiser to a Blue Cross PPO plan with a high deductible. Kaiser has raised our premiums quite a bit, and we would save a significant amount of money on premiums if we do. I wondering about people's experiences with Blue Cross, if they are able to find providers and if they have had trouble with getting medical services approved. I have looked on the website and have not found info about Blue Cross. Thank you
What's right for you probably depends on your situation. If you're young & healthy & don't have any prescription medications, don't visit the doctor very often, don't have kids AND/OR you have specific doctors outside of Kaiser whom you know & trust & really want to work with, then Blue Cross PPO could be a good choice, since most doctors in the area seem to accept the plan. Back when my husband & I were young & self- employed & didn't have kids & couldn't afford anything else, Blue Cross PPO worked out great for us.
But overall, I recommend sticking with Kaiser. The monthly savings on your premium may not be worth the higher deductibles, copayments, & costs for prescription medications if something changes in your life like a pregnancy or the onset of some other condition that requires more doctor visits than you were counting on.
Also, if you're used to the way Kaiser coordinates your medical care, keeps track of your medical records & prescriptions, & generally has basic stuff like flu shots in stock so you can just walk in & get one, etc. you might find other Healthcare providers to be a major hassle. Unless you know a doctor around here, picking a primary care physician is like closing your eyes & randomly pointing to a name in the yellow pages. In my experience with other healthcare providers, including Blue Cross, Aetna & Healthnet HMOs & PPOs, the right hand never seems to know what the other hand is doing or what's covered & what's not, etc.
Good luck! Elisabeth
A few caveats, however. Double check to see if the doctor(s) you want to see accept Blue Cross. For example, the doctors office I've been going to for years (Alta Bates Medical Associates in Berkeley/Orinda) does not accept the Blue Cross PPO (at least as of my last visit a few months ago). This means I must pay for services up front, then get reimbursed from Blue Cross at their rate, which means more out-of-pocket expense to me than just the co-pay.
Also, take a close look at the fine print. Look at the exclusions to make sure you're covered for everything you want to be covered for. Also, you will have a co-pay each visit, and a deductable up to a point, and a portion of the bill after that. Look at your typical demand for medical services in a year and figure out your total out of pocket expenses. Frankly, I'd be surprised if it was less than Kaiser's total cost (at work, Kaiser's monthly premium is a few hundred dollars less than the Blue Cross PPO with a 2000 deductable). For us, the choice and flexibility of the PPO is worth the cost of the PPO. Bob
My husband's company closed down 6 weeks ago and at that time we applied for private health insurance online through eHealthInsurance and chose BlueCross (which we had already had through his former employer). Six weeks later, ie now - today, we have received an email saying we are rejected for unspecified reasons and will get a letter about it sometime. We have no pre existing conditions in the family and virtually no health issues whatsoever! We are furious and dumbfounded, and don't really understand what do do now. We are already no longer covered and don't want to risk waiting another six weeks to find out the result of another blind application, but also can't afford to pay the Cobra ''back 2 months'' of $700.00 per month. Please any advice about this would be so helpful. What should we do? How can we get honest answers and decent service? Judith
What we did was keep calling blue cross. They even told us if we got regected once to re-apply and let them requisition all our doctors for our medical records. They ended up accepting us the first time, but not until they called every one of our docs for the past 5 years (including my 3 yr old son's) and pouring over our records.
It sounds to me like maybe the online process didn't get the close attention you needed. I would advise calling a representative and asking them to look at your case and pinpoint the problems, and find out exactly who was regected, you or your husband.
We all had to apply separately (not as a family), on our own individual plans for them to take us. You should ask them if they would encourage you to re-apply. If they don't sound encouraging, call back another time and get a different representative. We almost didn't apply b/c one person discouraged us. Then when we called back the next day we got someone better who helped us follow our case all the way through. If this happens, call Blue Cross back every week or so, through each step of the process until the end to make sure your case is getting the proper attention. We found if we call back and politely enquire (e.g. have they requested records from our docs yet, did they get the forms we sent, is there anything we can do to help the process etc), emphasizing how worried we were and how important this was to us, that it went a long way to get them to pay attention to our case.
You might also try other health insurances.It is a bit more difficult once you have been rejected by one, but I've heard if you are honest and keep trying, you can get accepted, it just may take a long time. Fortis takes almost anyone, but they don't have maternity coverage in California. so I guess they take mostly men ;-)
I'm sorry this happened to you, I know how frustrating it is. We were dumbfounded by how hard the process was!
Now we are pregnant and happily insured! I hope it works out for you, too.
Been there for five months of awful waiting! anon

Ice Age: Continental Drift Reviews
The Atlantic
Yes, this is the part where I outsource my critical role to my children. If you are the kind of person who (quite understandably) abhors this particular gimmick, you may wish to stop reading now.
Village Voice
The best bits are basic and all but voiceless: those Scrat-intensive set pieces, still inspiredly squirrelly if much too far apart.
These films are generally good at being good enough, and the fourth installment, Ice Age: Continental Drift, doesn't deviate from that modest tradition.
Newark Star-Ledger
In the end, this latest "Ice Age" movie is about as surprising and unpredictable as a glacier. And not much more fun.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Whenever I watch an "Ice Age" movie, I understand how my mother felt whenever I zoned out in front of the television after school.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
New York Post
Popping from one silly set piece to another is all that really concerns the screenwriters.

Washington Post
Logic may be extinct, but, boy, do these movies whiz by like ice cubes zipping across a linoleum floor.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
Los Angeles Times
The dialogue is sometimes too sluggish and definitely too preachy, the ending is a little too sappy, yet somehow this strange collection of prehistoric critters and their completely illogical life are consistently likable, if not quite lovable.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
USA Today
This fourth installment featuring the computer-animated, prehistoric critters is aimless and derivative. While the first Ice Age movie in 2002 was inventive and cute, there's far too little here that's fresh.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
San Francisco Chronicle
The plot ... just barrels forward with very few surprises.

Dinklage works hard, and his gold-toothed monkey mariner is amusingly designed, but it's not nearly enough to shake the sense that we're watching elaborate filler.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
In a world where family flicks are split between the inspired and the insipid, it's time to let Manny and his mates drift out to sea.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4
Arizona Republic
They keep pumping out more "Ice Age" movies, as if it were some sort of "Rocky" for kids or something, and if they never reach the heights of the best animated fare, they chug along efficiently.

Toronto Star
How many times do they need to reassert the message that family comes first and friends are forever?

It all would have been more enjoyable without all the treacle and pandering.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
Associated Press
The filmmakers stuff the film to a manic degree, albeit with increasingly textured animation.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
TIME Magazine
The frenetic pace masks an emptiness; this Ice Age is just a collection of slapstick moments and fisticuffs, with pauses for Sid to regurgitate food into his paw and show it to everyone.
New York Times
"Continental Drift," like its predecessors, is much too friendly to dislike, and its vision of interspecies multiculturalism is generous and appealing.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Chicago Tribune
It's not very funny, but your kids might like it. For the record.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Seattle Times
The picture's a scream, courtesy of Scrat.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
AV Club
Continental Drift feels less like an extension of a theatrical franchise than an episode of a middling TV cartoon, lolling around on territory that's already been settled.
Full Review | Original Score: C+
Chicago Sun-Times
The characters are manic and idiotic, the dialogue is rat-a-tat chatter, the action is entirely at the service of the 3-D, and the movie depends on bright colors, lots of noise and a few songs in between the whiplash moments.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
Entertainment Weekly
A mild bounce back from the dinosaur doldrums of the last Ice Age movie.
Full Review | Original Score: B
The nothing-special Ice Age: Continental Drift is the library paste of movies -- smooth and flavorless, kids eagerly consume it despite its total lack of nutritional value.
Kids will enjoy themselves and adults won't feel the urge to spend the duration hiding out in the restrooms. Some of the jokes are funny.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Time Out
Frivolous fun.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
Hollywood Reporter
It's familiar, drawn-out shtick, and the humor lacks the subtlety of the first and best Ice Age, but there are some visually inventive high points.

Read!!! =P
I'm starting off with a recap where we last left Jane… But Frank's point of view will be where we left off with them that night. Thanks everyone and enjoy! --Christiexox
**Recap: "We're not going to have you doing anything bad now, are we not?" he asked calmly, kneeling down beside me.
" Yes," I mumbled crying. He chuckled a bit before getting back up.
" Just to make sure of that you're staying in my sight from now on because I don't feel like I can trust you right now. And that's what a marriage is based upon, is it not?" He lifted me up and threw me over his shoulder.
" I think we're going to get along just great when we're married don't you?" he asked sarcastically.
" Fuck you," I told him as I could feel the fresh wounds start to bleed. He just laughed as he walked along. I started to get light headed and before I knew it I was unconscious.
* End Recap*
Jane's P.O.V:
I woke up leaving my eyes shut as I gasped at the terrible pain I felt. 'If I'm in pain then I must still love him. That's just fuckin dandy,' I thought to myself as I tried to move my arms. I found was in shackles once again on the side of a stone wall. But this place was different. It was a spacious room with a long table in the center and a fireplace on one wall with candles everywhere throughout the room.
' I was here before. I don't really know how or why I just know that I have been here once before. Strange.' I heard Anthony chuckle from the other side of the room.
" Seems the precious princess has finally awakened from her slumber. I didn't hurt you that bad, did I?" he said laughing at his own sick joke. I closed my eyes and prayed that it would all end. I knew it was too good to be true though.
" Don't worry, in less than 24 hours you'll be my wife." I looked up at him wide eyed. ' I was out for a little more than a day… fuck! Well there still no sign of Gerard thank god. Gerard…' I sighed at the thought of him. He's coming and I can't do anything to stop him…
Frank's P.O.V:
I started to walk down the hallway towards Natalie's room thinking to myself.
' Okay Frank, you can do this. Just say hello and say that… you've gotten bored or… something. Shit I don't know what to say.'
" Maybe something along the lines of why you're contemplating on how you're going to talk to me." I spun around and found Natalie standing there with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face.
" Ummm I was… just…" I stuttered out. She giggled a bit.
" That's what I thought," she said before walking onwards to her room.
" Wouldyouliketogohavedinnersometimewithme?" I asked her all in one breath.
" What?" When I felt her gaze upon me I looked at my feet and tried to reply to her what I had just said.
" Would you like to go have dinner sometime with me?"
" Get some rest because we have a ways ahead of us that we need to cover tomorrow."
" You can't ignore me forever you know!" I said to her with a small grin on my face as I walked backwards towards my room. I turned around and started to open my door.
" Oh yes I can," was all I heard before she left the hallway.
Natalie's P.O.V:
I closed the door behind me.
" Oh no I can't… Damn that sexy man! Oops… did I just say that?" Frank opened the door to the room laughing.
" Oh yes… you did," he replied in between giggles before closing the door.
Gerard's P.O.V:
'In your dreams…'
I sat up as realization hit me. When I was a boy I had reoccurring nightmares of these two people. Both of them oddly resembled Jane and I. ' But that could never happen to her. No, I won't let it happen,' I thought angrily to myself. I fell back onto my bed as the dreams I had and the thoughts I have now fought in my head for the rest of the night.
The next morning we awoke, got packed, said goodbye to Persuaisia and thanked her before leaving.
" Don't even thank me. It was the least I could do. Be safe, young ones," she said. We started to venture further again. I could sense something from Frank but I couldn't really make it out.
" What's up with you Frank? You seem really weird."
" That's because…" was all he got out before Natalie took over.
" Say another word and it will be your last," she told him sternly. We continued on in silence before arriving at the woods. We all got this gut feeling that something was in these woods. But we all kept to ourselves and started to wander further. For Jane.
We were walking for about five minutes in the forest when Frank said something.
" Does anyone else feel as if something is here with us?" I looked at my surroundings.
" This was in a dream I once had," I whispered more to myself.
" Stay close," Natalie told us taking out her bow and an arrow. I decided to take out my sword as did Frank. We got about an hours in when all of a sudden a tall, thick and dark creature that looked like an Ogre sprung from the dark and knocked Frank out cold from behind.
"FRANK!" I turned around as Natalie was hit. Then, in a swift movement it punched me, making me topple to the ground. As I tried to stand up I fell back down. I felt scared and useless. I saw Jane's face as I breathed out deeply, closing my eyes.
*A/N: Hahah you all are probably angry at me XD Don't worry within the next week a new one will be posted. It's almost over.

Holga – A Romance
It started with a documentary on the series "Bali, Island of the Spirits" by photographer John Stanmeyer. The space where I was disappeared and suddenly I was in Bali, completely absorbed in that world. Immersed in those pictures, I fell in love with Holga, through this excellent work.
And since then, whenever I see pictures of this camera instinctively feel to be transported to another world.

Topic - Belaying from the rope loop
Jonny2vests - on 17 Sep 2012
Since I arrived in Canada (8 months ago), I've had a steady stream of mates, randoms and guides come up to me and telling me 'I'm gonna die' if I belay from the rope loop; it is completely taboo in N America.
I have read all the threads, the UKC article, BMC booklets, yadda yadda yadda, all good stuff, in search of a good argument against the crux of theirs:
If the rope loop were to be loaded in such a way that the two strands out of the fig 8 were opposing, what's to stop it inverting? You might say (as Dan Middleton - BMC Tech Officer did) that this configuration is almost impossible to obtain when belaying, but if it did happen (surely it must have), why is nobody dead yet? Maybe a Jim Titt or an Rgold (yes, I've read those threads too) out there could provide a bombproof rebuttal.

Putting the triple unit together was not as easy as it was described. Did not realize there are not any drawers available that can be added so will need to use under the counter drawer unit instead. Missing one screw.. Over all the unit is beautiful for cost and we are buying another one for our next location.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, professional talk radio nag, went off on a racist rant during yesterday's (Aug. 12) Tuesday's (Aug. 10) episode of her nationally syndicated program. A black caller had phoned in to the show seeking advice; her white husband's friends and family members had a nasty habit of making racist remarks around her, and she felt hurt not only by the comments themselves but also by her husband's reluctance to speak up against the comments or acknowledge that they were hurtful to her. Dr. Laura, rather than giving the woman any useful advice, went up and down the list of racist tropes in a tirade that included several instances of the incantation "nigger nigger nigger." Of course, Dr. Laura's use of that word has caused an uproar, but rather than focus on that part of her comments, I'd like to take a moment to unpack why so much of the rest of what she had to say was so problematic.
For what it's worth, Dr. Laura insisted during the call that those who took issue with her repeatedly chanting "nigger nigger nigger" over the airwaves of hundreds of radio stations nationwide were simply taking her words out of context. Media Matters for America, in the interest of recording such incidents for us and our posterity, has the full call, unedited, with a transcript here. (Dr. Laura herself, apparently, has actually excised this portion of the program from the archives on her own Web site.) The Media Matters clip/transcript, though, will be quite helpful in demonstrating that pretty much everything Dr. Laura has to say is wrong and rooted in racism. Here are eight reasons why:
1. "Racism isn't really a problem; blacks are just being hypersensitive." To start off the call, as Jade (the caller) is explaining the problem with her husband and his family and friends' racist comments, Dr. Laura cuts her off with this classic racist trope: She says to Jade:
Well, can you give me an example of a racist comment? 'Cause sometimes people are hypersensitive. So tell me what's — give me two good examples of racist comments.
Translation: "I, a white person, reserve the right to appoint myself to be the adjudicator of whether or not something that you, a black person, experienced was really racist. I reserve the right to tell you whether or not you have the right to feel hurt by the things you experience. None of your experiences or feelings as a black person are legitimate unless approved by me, a white person." This is textbook racism, folks, way before the word "nigger" ever comes out of her mouth. And even one example of racism from Jade isn't enough for her; she has the nerve to raise the bar even higher and insist on two!
2. "Stereotypes are based in truth and therefore cannot be racist." In the La-La Land world that exists only inside the head of morality queen Laura Schlessinger, racial stereotyping isn't racist. Now, not only has Dr. Laura exercised her right to adjudicate whether black people really experience racism; she's gone one step beyond casting doubt to insisting that, no, the comments Jade endures from her neighbor are definitely not racist. She even gives an example of (what she thinks is) a stereotype that's based in truth and therefore not racist: Blacks voted for Barack Obama only because he's black. Never mind the fact that black voters have been voting Democratic (by about 90%) in national elections for many, many years now, and Obama's numbers were not that far out of line with the level of black support that the previous several Democratic candidates had gotten; it must just be because he's black. Or, as Dr. Laura is so careful to point out, half-black. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that the Republican Party has, in the words of their own chairman Michael Steele, absolutely nothing to offer to black people. No, according to Dr. Laura, the only explanation for Obama's popularity in the black communities of the United States is that blacks are an unthinking herd who voted for him because, as she so eloquently put it, "it was a black thing." And there's your example of a stereotype based in truth that proves that stereotyping isn't racist. Glad we got that cleared up, Dr. Laura.
3. "I don't understand why, or think it's fair that, white people can't say 'nigger.'" Chris Rock said it best on this one: For all the white people out there who get so upset about not being able to say "nigger," it just raises the obvious question, why do you want to? I, like Chris Rock, am deeply suspicious of any white people who want to say "nigger" that badly. For what? Aside from that question, though, Dr. Laura is being either intentionally obtuse or incredibly naive in wondering what the difference is between blacks saying it and whites saying it. Now, there's a debate even among blacks about whether blacks should use the word "nigger," and my point here isn't to get into the question of whether that's appropriate. My point is that it takes a special kind of ignorance, even notwithstanding that question, to miss the fact that there are real and relevant differences between black and white uses of the word. Even if it were wrong for blacks to use the word "nigger," that doesn't change the fact that it's even more wrong on a deeper and far more fundamental level for whites to do so. History matters, Dr. Laura, especially regarding the historical use of a term like "nigger." White uses of the term make reference to a centuries-old history of oppression, discrimination, hatred and injustice. Part of the reason that blacks started using it was that many believed that reappropriating it would empty it of (at least some of) its power when used by whites. In other words, there's an entirely different power dynamic in play when blacks say it, compared to when whites do. Specifically, black uses of the term are not attempts to assert power over the person being addressed; white uses of it are. Anybody even a little bit reflective and thoughtful, who legitimately wanted to understand the differences in the uses of the term, could figure that out fairly easily. And yet, clearly, Dr. Laura could not.
4. Right-wing racism? What right-wing racism? This trope, as relatively recent as its rise to prominence has been, is already getting old. Since she's breaking out all the racist tropes at once, Dr. Laura didn't want to miss out:
We've got a black man as president, and we have more complaining about racism than ever. I mean, I think that's hilarious.
Yes, it's so hilarious that members of Congress had to endure racial epithets on their way to cast their votes on the health care bill. It's hilarious that racist signs and slogans have become commonplace at Tea Party rallies across the country. It's hilarious that the right has drummed up opposition to Pres. Obama largely on the basis of his allegedly being "foreign" and "not like us." ("Birther" controversy, anyone? Can anyone explain why no white President has ever faced the same sort of insinuations that he just didn't belong?) It's hilarious that Dr. Laura's fellow talk radio blowhard Laura Ingraham has published a book in which she describes First Lady Michelle Obama eating ribs at every meal. And it's hilarious that Mexican immigrants have been so thoroughly vilified on the right as the true source of so many of the United States' problems. Yes, that's some uproariously funny stuff. If by "hilarious" you mean "alarming, disturbing and downright terrifying," then yes, Dr. Laura, all of this racism stuff since Obama took office last January has been "hilarious."
5. "Chip on your shoulder. I can't do much about that." Dr. Laura insists that racism can't possibly be a real problem under the Obama administration because whites voted him into office. Jade attempts to make a salient point regarding the huge gap between the amounts of support that Obama got from younger whites and older whites. But Dr. Laura doesn't need to listen to reasonable points that conflict with her worldview. Instead, she can just change the subject completely by insisting, when she finds herself getting the worse of the argument, that her black opponent just has a chip on her shoulder. Does Jade actually have a point about the race gap between older and younger generations of whites? Of course not! She just has "too much sensitivity and not enough sense of humor." (Oh, that would be a semi-clever play on words, Dr. Laura, if only the content of those words weren't so profoundly ignorant and utterly asinine.) She's just looking for an excuse to get offended, so there's no need for Dr. Laura to engage her actual point. Funny how privilege works that way, isn't it?
6. "Don't NAACP me, bro." (OK, Dr. Laura left out the "bro," but her comment here is still completely stupid.) First, there's the typical insistence that those (like the NAACP) who are attempting to tackle racial issues head-on and discuss them openly are "the real racists." Dr. Laura insists that the NAACP is synonymous with taking comments out of context to make whites seem racist even though they're not. Moreover, she claims that black "hypersensitivity" is "being bred by black activists" who are only interested in power rather than in "righteousness to do good." (Side note: Seriously, Dr. Laura, you'd have us believe, after that unsolicited commentary, that Jade is the one with the chip on her shoulder? Really, how long have you been sitting on that rant, waiting for an excuse to get it off your chest in the most self-righteous way possible?) Second, there's the complete lack of any situational irony on Dr. Laura's part in describing the NAACP as an organization that takes others' comments out of context. Has she been spending so much time in her imaginary Dr. Laura Land that she hasn't heard about the video of Shirley Sherrod speaking at an NAACP event? Tell me, Dr. Laura, was it the NAACP that was playing fast and loose (and intentionally deceptively) with "context," or was that hatchet job actually the work of right-wing hack Andrew Breitbart? Give me a break.
7. "I'll tell you whom you can marry." After Jade points out the obvious, that whites using the word "nigger" is an attempt to hurt blacks, Dr. Laura does what Dr. Laura does: she gets matriarchal and decides to tell people how to run their lives. This time, she has some unsolicited advice about who should and shouldn't be in an interracial relationship and which blacks should and shouldn't associate with whites. Nor surprisingly, again it's the allegedly humorless, oversensitive blacks (funny how that characterization just keeps coming up, isn't it?) who need to stay away from Dr. Laura and her fellow whites (who are, of course, just doing their level best at all times not to say or do anything racist and are never really the problem when it comes to racial issues). After all, if you marry outside your race, you should expect to be grilled by your spouse's friends and family about stereotypes of your racial group. And, remember, those stereotypes are totally legitimate, so you'll have no basis on which to complain about constantly being put upon in that way! The sad thing is, there is a lot that can be learned from the sort of open, frank conversations about race that can happen when people of different racial backgrounds get together, talk and form real relationships. They're not the nonsensical "why do blacks conform to stereotype x" conversations that Dr. Laura envisions, of course, and there's definitely no good that can come from someone like her deciding who ought and ought not to enter into those relationships and have those conversations.
8. "This conversation is over when I say it's over." Finally, Dr. Laura exercises the ultimate display of power in a conversation by exercising the privilege of unilaterally deciding when it's over. After being dismissive of Jade's feelings, doubtful about the legitimacy of her experiences and presumptuous about her true motivations, Dr. Laura decides she's heard (and said) enough. And, since she's heard and said enough, that means the conversation has reached an endpoint, right? There's no need to acknowledge the needs of the black person in the conversation about race, no need to ensure that Jade has been heard or that her points have been addressed. Dr. Laura said what she had to say and avoided really listening to anything that might contradict it. Another successful conversation about race, as far as she's concerned!
So, there you have it: eight reasons why "nigger nigger nigger" isn't all that's wrong with Dr. Laura's rant. She can dodge responsibility for saying "nigger" and retreat into her "you're taking it out of context" explanation, and people will buy her hedged "I wasn't really wrong, but I'm sorry anyway" apology. And while repeatedly saying "nigger nigger nigger" is definitely the most sensational aspect of this incident, the rest of her racially problematic rhetoric is, to me, the more problematic part of her comments, because all the other rhetoric only serves to reinforce racism and white privilege while maintaining a cover or plausible deniability that that's really what's going on. So, Dr. Laura, you tried to have a conversation about race on a nationally syndicated talk show and utterly failed in the presence of millions. To borrow a phrase from the racist nag herself, "nice try, Dr. Laura. Actually, sucky try."
Update: From Dr. Laura's apology, here's yet more reason (actually a few more reasons that I'll articulate here briefly) that her comments are problematic:
I was attempting to make a philosophical point, and I articulated the "n" word all the way out – more than one time. And that was wrong. I'll say it again – that was wrong. I ended up, I'm sure, with many of you losing the point I was trying to make, because you were shocked by the fact that I said the word. I, myself, realized I had made a horrible mistake, and was so upset I could not finish the show.
First, can Dr. Laura even explain why her use of the word "nigger" was wrong? Based on her comments from the show, she clearly doesn't seem to know, and this statement doesn't give us any indication that she's really had any epiphanies in that regard since Tuesday. Even in her apology, she still falls back on the "I was attempting to make a philosophical [sic] point" excuse that seems to attempt to justify her use of the word more than apologize for it. It seems all she's really sorry about is that, as she writes, many of her listeners lost the point she was trying to make. In other words, she seems not really sorry so much for her words and actions themselves as for the fact that they offended people. Even the letter from a black listener (racist trope: "But I know a black person who also disagrees with you!") that she posts along with her apology, she gets a chance once again to hammer home her so-called "philosophical" point that there's no real difference between blacks and whites saying "nigger." And, bonus, she gets validation from the author of this letter that she's not really a racist! Aside from the not-really-sure what-I-should-actually-be-sorry-for apology, she manages to work in yet another racist trope: making it all about her and her feelings. She goes off for around six full minutes of spewing racist nonsense, and we're supposed to care that she "was so upset [she] could not finish the show?" Sorry, but no. Dr. Laura, I don't care that you were upset. You had a black caller on the line and repeatedly chanted "nigger nigger nigger" at her in front of a radio audience of millions, and we're supposed to focus on the effect that this behavior (your behavior) had on your fragile feelings? Hell no.
And what about Jade, the caller who had to sit on the other end and listen to Dr. Laura's garbage for those six minutes? Dr. Laura hopes she'll call back and get the help she was looking for! No, Dr. Laura, you gave her your opinion on her situation. Her problem was that her husband didn't have her back when people made racist comments. Your "solution" was for her to stop being oversensitive and realize that the comments weren't really racist! Your complete dismissal of Jade and her problem came way before the "nigger nigger nigger" chants started. Have your views on black hypsensitivity changed since Tuesday? Have you decided that racial stereotypes really are racist (and not simply true), after all? Are you now, as you weren't then, ready to acknowledge that racism is still a real problem in American society and not just a political ploy by "black activists" (like the NAACP) to gain more power? Are you prepared to relinquish your insistence on saying which blacks should and shouldn't form relationships with whites? If not, then what additional "help" do you think you can give Jade? For Jade's sake, I hope she never even thinks about calling Dr. Laura for advice on this anything else ever again. So, for the apology that was more about herself and her own feelings than it was about the hurt that she caused to Jade (who, let's remember, called Dr. Laura in the first place because she considered her in some sense, misguided as her estimation clearly turned out to be, a trusted and respected authority on … something), I still conclude: "Nice try, Dr. Laura. Actually, sucky try."

Agent Orange: Veterans' Complaints Concerning Exposure to Herbicides in South Vietnam
Date: June 25, 1982
Creator: Smith, Pamela W.
Description: From 1962 to 1971, the United States Air Force (USAF) sprayed various herbicide mixtures (chemicals that kill plants) in South Vietnam. The purpose of the spraying was to defoliate jungle growth to deprive the Communist forces of ground cover, and to destroy enemy crops to restrict food supplies. The most extensively used of these herbicide mixtures was known as Agent Orange, a 50:50 mix of two common herbicides called 1,4,5-T and 2,4-D (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). The third chemical present in the mixture in small amounts was TCDD, an inevitable by-product of the manufacture of 2,4,5-T. This chemical, called tetrachlorodibenzo-para-dioxin or simply "dioxin," is highly toxic to laboratory animals when administered in its pure form. CRS has been unable to locate any report of a human death from exposure to pure TCDD. This report discusses the human health effects that have occurred from exposure to TCDD, as well as related Congressional concerns.

From a commenter on the video:
"its just been zoomed in with editing so you cant see the his/her UI"
That's what it looks like to me.
That video is from a wow insider, since it's wow insider's youtube channel, I'm betting it was Allie Robert that made it but that would be just a guess, but as far as I know it's impossible to have your UI, and have a video without the UI.
Now, you can easy stream and upload a cropped version of the game with something like xsplit, but you're going to lose the edges of the gameplay just like in the video you linked.
This is the addon I was referring to btw, that will take screenshots without your UI all in one button press:

Modcast #179: Courtney Barnett
Transforming her witty journal ramblings into surreal lyrics and soaring song, Courtney Barnett has gone from Melbourne pub scene darling to frequent flyer. Her self-released poetic strokes 'Avant-Gardner', 'Lance Jnr' and 'History Eraser' echo the greats Patti Smith, Jeff Tweedy and Grant McLennan, and have had festivals, labels and media lining around the block. With over 40 gigs booked over the next four months, we can only assume this unrelenting worker is enjoying herself. Over a virtual coffee, Courtney slipped us this playlist as we discussed her next album, the Milk! Records roster and her vast wardrobe of band t-shirts.
You were recording an album this week after what seemed to be back to back touring. Is your style of songwriting compatible with this on-the-go lifestyle?
It's mostly just observational note-taking and conversation-quoting. The more on-the-go the better in fact cos if I am too focused then nothing happens. A watched pot. I like people watching. I wrote the first 2 EPs at like 4am every night after work. Even though I stress out so easily, I think I work better under pressure. Sometimes.
How has the new material evolved from what's already seen the light of day?
Recording new and un-perfected songs is a good process for me, it normally takes me about a year to figure out what each song is exactly about. Songs are always evolving, I suppose as I evolve the songwriting does too.
Your lyrics are littered with local references. Are you ever concerned that some of this is lost on an international audience or are you noticing that they're clueing up and filling in the blanks?
I try not to think about what concerns other people and when I do I try not to under-estimate them. If we only listened to what we know then we wouldn't learn anything, I'm one of those people that underlines words in books and then looks them up, and if someone is singing about a bar on some street in some town in some country I've never been to then I look it up and try get a grip on what they're singing about, it's kinda interesting that way.
What's your most prized band t-shirt from the ever growing collection and why is this particular garment significant?
Darren Hanlon gave me a shirt once, he's one of my favourite songwriters so that's pretty prized. I like my Paul Kelly/Neil Finn shirt especially because it's designed by Reg Mombassa. I once swapped the shirt I was wearing on stage with a guy in the audience who had a shirt with polar bears on it. That's probably my most prized shirt.
Can you please introduce your Milk! Records roster to the unenlightened?
I started Milk! Records to release my first EP, then a couple of friends had records they wanted to release so we put them out too. Jen Cloher's third album 'In Blood Memory' is one I'm real proud of. A few EPs and books of poetry by shoe-gazey The Finks. Psychedelic hippies Royston Vasie. Tropical folk songwriter Fraser A. Gorman.
You're well read. Maybe recommend a book or three while you're at it?
I just finished 'Slaughterhouse 5' and I'm currently reading 'A Confederacy of Dunces'.
What was touring with Billy Bragg like? Is he an inspiration of yours?
He is now!He was great to tour and hang out with, very supportive and inspirational plus his set was awesome and flawless every night.
