Mole Solutions is a private development company focussed on the introduction of Freight Pipelines to help solve the major global problem of Transport Congestion.
"A 5% reduction in travel time for all business travel on the road could generate around £2.5bn of cost savings – some 0.2% of GDP" – The Eddington Study Dec 2006
Scroll down to Play Freight Pipeline concept video and learn more about Freight Pipelines.
In the UK alone Transport Congestion costs the economy £31.9bn per year
Most HGVs are carrying containers, pallets, totes and roll cages across a restricted network of motorways and major trunk roads between entry ports, originating centres and distribution centres. Outside of metropolitan areas it is on this network that most transport congestion occurs.
Typically the causes of congestion are: road capacity not being able to cope with an increase of traffic at key times; accidents; road works; and bad weather.
The consequences of this congestion are: an increase in driver cost; an increase in fuel cost; road damage from HGVs; demand for more road capacity; late deliveries; pollution and social disruption.
Analysis work by Mole Solutions on how best to reduce transport congestion and reduce the impact on the environment has concluded that two categories of freight pipeline are required.
Mole Solutions and its industrial team has now developed these concepts to the point where a prototype freight pipeline system has been computer modelled, developed, built and is being demonstrated at the Mole Solutions test facility at Alconbury Weald Enterprise Park, Cambridgeshire, UK.

C. S. Lewis: A Life: Eccentric Genius, Reluctant Prophet (Hardback)Alistair McGrath
Hardback Published: 11/04/2012
- Not available
For more than half a century, C. S. Lewis's Narnia series has captured the imagination of millions. In C. S. LEWIS: A LIFE, Dr Alister McGrath recounts the unlikely legacy of this Oxford don, who spent his days teaching medieval English Literature and his nights writing a bestselling fantasy series for children. To write this biography McGrath studied all of Lewis's correspondence and archival materials in chronological order, so as to illuminate afresh this much-loved author's life. Alister challenges some of the previously held beliefs about the timing of Lewis's shift from atheism to theism and Christianity. This definitive biography paints a portrait of a deeply original thinker who became an inspiring, though reluctant, prophet for our times. Accessible and engaging, this is a fascinating portrayal of a creative genius who continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.

- 3 tablespoons vinegar

Most Helpful
This is so yummy.I substitute dried cranberries for the raisins.It is crunchy and delicious.
This is one of my most favorite recipes. But because the sunflower nuts are so small and tend to stick to the sides of the bowl, I usually substitute sliced almonds or pine nuts instead. The combination of flavors in this salad and dressing are delicious.
Excellent Salad!!!!!! Easy and a party pleaser. I took this to a family gathering, and everyone said that from now on this is the dish I always have to bring. I used regular mayonaise. Love the crunch and taste of the sunflowers with the boccoli and bacon. Flavors blended perfectly.

Espresso Beans - From Choosing To Roasting
Coffee Cherry Harvesting
What we refer to as coffee beans are in truth seeds from cherry-like fruits. Coffee trees produce cherries that commence yellow in colour they then turn orange and finally to bright red after they are ripe and prepared for selecting.
Coffee cherries grow along the branches of trees in clusters. The exocarp would be the skin on the cherry and is bitter and thick. The mesocarp may be the fruit beneath and is intensely sweet having a texture significantly like that of a grape. Then there's the Parenchyma, this is a sticky layer just about honey-like which protects the beans inside the coffee cherry. The beans are covered inside the endocarp, a protective parchment-like envelope for the green coffee beans which also have a last membrane called the spermoderm or silver skin.
On average there is 1 coffee harvest per year, the time of which depends on the geographic zone in the cultivation. Nations South from the Equator have a tendency to harvest their coffee in April and Could whereas the nations North on the Equator have a tendency to harvest later in the year from September onwards.
Coffee is usually picked by hand that is completed in certainly one of two strategies. Cherries can all be stripped off the branch at when or a single by 1 utilizing the technique of selective selecting which ensures only the ripest cherries are picked.
Coffee Cherry Processing
As soon as they have been picked they have to be processed instantly. Coffee pickers can pick among 45 and 90kg of cherries every day nonetheless a mere 20% of this weight could be the actual coffee bean. The cherries could be processed by one of two methods.
Dry Course of action
That is the easiest and most cheap alternative where the harvested coffee cherries are laid out to dry in the sunlight. They're left within the sunlight for anywhere in between 7-10 days and are periodically turned and raked. The aim getting to decrease the moisture content of the coffee cherries to 11%, the shells will turn brown plus the beans will rattle around inside the cherry.
Wet Method
The wet procedure differs to the dry system in the way that the pulp in the coffee cherry is removed in the beans inside 24 hours of harvesting the coffee. A pulping machine is utilised to wash away the outer skin and pulp; beans are then transferred to fermentation tanks where they're able to keep for anywhere as much as two days. Naturally occurring enzymes loosen the sticky parenchyma from the beans, that are then dried either by sunlight or by mechanical dryers.
The dried coffee beans then go through a further approach known as hulling which removes all the layers. Coffee beans are then transferred to a conveyor belt and graded when it comes to size and density. This can either be completed by hand or mechanically working with an air jet to separate lighter weighing beans that are deemed inferior. Coffee harvesting nations ship coffee un-roasted; this really is referred to as green coffee. Roughly 7 million tons of green coffee is shipped planet wide annually.
Coffee Roasting
The coffee roasting process transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans and is where the flavour from the coffee is fulfilled.
Green coffee beans are heated making use of substantial rotating drums with temperatures of about 288°C. The rotating movement of the drums prevents beans from burning. The green coffee beans turn yellow initially and are described as having the aroma an aroma equivalent to popcorn.
The beans 'pop' and double in size just after around eight minutes that indicates they've reached a temperature of 204°C, they then start to turn brown because of coffee essence (inner oils) emerging. Pyrolysis is definitely the name for the chemical reaction that produces the flavour and aroma of coffee as a result of the heat and coffee essence combining. Anyplace amongst three and 5 minutes later a second 'pop' happens indicative in the coffee getting totally roasted.
Coffee roasting is an art form inside itself, coffee roasters use their senses of smell, sight and sound to ascertain when coffee beans are roasted perfectly. Timing is basic in the coffee roasting procedure as this affects the flavour and colour in the resulting roast. Darker roasted coffee beans may have been roasted for longer than lighter coffee roasts.
As soon as roasted, coffee is packaged within a protective atmosphere and exported globally.

Brian Sands, one of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputy chiefs, testified yesterday that the sheriff was sometimes "misinformed" about his crime-suppression patrols.
"Arpaio sometimes is misinformed, through no fault of his own," Sands said.
Sands claimed some of Arpaio's press releases about the saturation patrols -- specifically one press release claiming an operation was targeting day laborers -- were bogus.

So, the judge asked Sands, is the goal to just round up illegal immigrants during those patrols?
"That's not the goal or objective...but it's the results that occur," Sands said. "If people are arrested and, subsequently, they're in the country illegally, that's the end result of stopping a certain amount of people."
As our colleague Ray Stern pointed out later yesterday, Sands was singing a different tune a couple years back:
Sands, to put the statements in context, had been responding to questions by investigators about the times he had "points of conflict" with [former chief deputy Dave] Hendershott, who was fired by Arpaio (then allowed to retire) after the investigation concluded he had committed unethical and possibly illegal acts for years as Arpaio's right-hand man. Arpaio later claimed he was "duped" by Hendershott and knew nothing about his chief deputy's activities -- even though evidence showed he had near-daily briefings by Hendershott, and that Hendershott was probably just following Arpaio's orders.
Sands described one point of conflict as taking place on the 2008 saturation patrol. He claimed he "cautioned" Hendershott that "we can't do massive arrests when it comes to illegal aliens" because of the "complexity of our relationship" with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau and the 287(g) cross-training status of sheriff's deputies.
"I think (Hendershott's) issue was that he wanted to see something that would, you know, be very newsworthy out there," Sands told investigators.
That said, how "misinformed" was Arpaio?

Hogs Surge Most in 16 Months as U.S. Pork Demand Climbs
Hog futures surged the most in 16 months on signs of increasing demand for U.S. pork. Cattle prices also rose.
In the wholesale market, the price of pork headed for the biggest monthly gain since July, while loins yesterday rose the most in more than a week, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. That rally indicates high meat sales for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, which ended May 28, said Doug Houghton, an analyst at Brock Associates.
"The loin-price increase would seem to indicate good grilling demand," Houghton said in a telephone interview from Milwaukee.
Hog futures for July settlement rose by the exchange limit of 3 cents, or 3.4 percent, to settle at 91 cents a pound at 1 p.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the highest for a most-active contract since April 13. The gain was the largest since Jan. 26, 2011.
This month, the commodity increased 5.9 percent, matching the monthly gain in September. Today's rally was the biggest among the 24 raw materials in the Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index.
Cattle futures for August delivery advanced 0.8 percent to $1.189 a pound in Chicago. In May, the commodity climbed 4.2 percent, the most since January.
At midday, wholesale beef advanced 0.4 percent to $1.9777 a pound, the highest since March 6, government data show. The price has climbed 11 percent in the past 12 months.
Feeder-cattle futures for August settlement increased 0.5 percent to $1.568 a pound.

October 19, 1999
Rating: g - Excellent For Children
In this computer-animated update of the classic Christmas tale The Nutcracker, a girl in her early teens gets the bad news that she won't be able to see her parents for the holidays. Depressed by the news, she goes to sleep with her favorite toy, a nutcracker that resembles a toy soldier. When she wakes up, she discovers that the toy has come alive and she has shrunk to its size. She and the nutcracker are spirited off to Christmas Land, where our heroes are joined by fruits, vegetables, and even a pack of nuts, which all come to life as they do battle against Reginald the Rat King, who wants to stop Christmas from coming. The Nuttiest Nutcracker features James Belushi, Cheech Marin, and Phyllis Diller; R&B star Peabo Bryson performed two original songs on the soundtrack. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Confronting Hate :Building Communities is the culmination of a larger national community engagement initiative called Not in Our Town: Class Actions.- Nationally, Not In Our Town: Class Actions profiles students and community members who are creating change in the wake of racism, anti-Semitism, and the traumatic consequences of bullying. The local production is intended to create opportunities for individuals to have conversations around issues that communities may experience that stem from discrimination and intolerance such as bullying and anti-immigrant violence. Students from both rural and urban communities throughout Nebraska will take part in the televise discussion.

Global Leprosy Strategy 2016-2020: Accelerating towards a leprosy-free world
The Global Leprosy Strategy 2016-2020 "Accelerating towards a leprosy-free world" was developed through a series of consultations with various stakeholders during 2014 and 2015. Inputs were provided by national leprosy programmes, technical agencies, independent leprosy experts, public health experts, funding agencies and representatives of affected patients and communities. The strategy is built around three major pillars: (i) strengthen government ownership and partnerships; (ii) stop leprosy and its complications; and (iii) stop discrimination and promote inclusion. Its goal is to further reduce the global and local leprosy burden, thereby aiming for zero children with leprosy-affected disabilities, a reduction of new patients diagnosed with leprosy-related deformities to less than one per million population and a repeal of all laws that allow discrimination of leprosy patients. The strategy was endorsed by the WHO Technical Advisory Group on leprosy.
Strategic plan for measles elimination and rubella and congenital rubella syndrome control in the South-East Asia Region, 2014-2020
The Sixty-sixth WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia in September 2013 resolved to adopt the goal of measles elimination and rubella/CRS control in the South-East Asia Region by 2020. In response, the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia developed this Strategic Plan for Measles Elimination and Rubella and Congenital Rubella Syndrome Control in the South-East Asia Region. This strategic document provides technical support to Member States in their efforts to develop elimination policy and strategies, while strengthening their immunization and surveillance systems and improving their programme performance. In this way, these ambitious 2020 goals can be met.

I'm a big fan of the Samizdata Commentariat. It's one of the best things about Samizdata. Part of the reason for its excellence is that when things get heated, a comment like this appears:
I'm not a huge fan, on the other hand, of the Guido Commentariat. Too big, too abusive, too given to tangenting off on only very marginally relevant subjects, just like most other big Commentariats, in other words. Still other Commentariats, like mine, are too small to be worth reading regularly. My commenters are very good, but there just aren't enough of them (it being absolutely not the fault of those who do comment here (it's the fault of all those who might comment but don't (and is it really even reasonable to call that a "fault"?))). Samizdata manages to strike a happy balance. At Samizdata, you don't get Comments (0), posting after posting, like you (I) do here, but nor do you get Comments (1538), or some such ridiculous number of mostly unreadable twaddle-comments. That, for me, is the Guido Commentariat.
But I keep going to the Guido commenters from time to time, because they do have their moments:
That was this morning.
I don't know if I would call the immediate economic outlook for Britain "absolutely fine", but compared to continental Europe, and especially continental EUrope, it remains quite good, both immediate outlooks having got rather worse because of Brexit.
The British policy for the last few years seems to have been: be the least worst governed country, but only by a bit. That way, capital and people flow in but don't absolutely torrent in, even though our bosses are making most of the same mistakes as are being made everywhere else. Just not quite so much as rivals of comparable stature, like France.
If Brexit had only destabilised Britain, then British markets really would have crashed. As it is, it's a toss up whether Brexit has destabilised Britain more than it has destabilised EUrope. (That guy means the EUrope won't survive. Europe obviously will.) My belief is that money is both running away from Britain, and coming into Britain. (But what do I know?)
Usually, I do quota postings in the small hours of the morning. Today, I am doing my quota posting in the big hours of the morning, to get it out of the way before a rather busy day, at the end of which I do not want to be fretting about doing a quota posting. Although, actually, this posting has now turned into something a bit more substantial than that, and I changed the title to something more meaningful. So anyway, yes, cranes:
Ah, cranes! Those structurally perfect votes of confidence in the sky. Those cranes were snapped from the south bank of the river, looking across at The City, on the same day earlier this month that I snapped yesterday's quota photo. What that new Moderately Big Thing is, that some of the cranes there are ministering to, I do not know, but I like how it looks, in its incomplete state.
With Brexit, will the cranes vanish for a few years, until London sorts itself out and finds itself some new business to be doing? Crexit? (You can always tell when a word has well and truly caught on, because people immediately start trying to apply the same verbal formula to other things. Brexit, verbally speaking, is the new Watergate. Frexit, Swexit, Thisgate, Thatgate, etc. etc.) I thought that the cranes were going to depart after 2008 and all that, but the money people managed to keep the plates spinning on their sticks, and London's cranes carried on. How will it be this time?
Here is a very pessimistic piece about Britain's prospects, for the immediately foreseeable future. Does this mean that my crane photo-archive will, in hindsight, be the capturing of a moment of the economic history of London that will now pass? If the cranes do go, how will they look when they return? When the new cranes move in, in ten years time or whenever, will cranes like those above look strangely retro, like digital cameras circa 2005?
Or, will the cranes never return, but instead be replaced by magic electric guns which fill the air with muck and sculpt a building out of the muck, 3D printing style, all in the space of an afternoon?
Now that it's been decided that we shall Brexit, Dezeen reports on what creatives have been creating to mark the event. Here are the two images they reproduce which I think are the most striking:
Both of these images are intended as expressions of regret that Britain has voted for Brexit, but neither quite say that, or not to me. What, after all, is so great for a balloon about being stuck in a whole bunch of other balloons? It's creator says: "sad day", but it doesn't look that sad to me. It just looks like a change. If he was merely describing, relatively objectively, what had happened, then I guess: fair enough.
As for the disintegrating, weeping Union Jack, that would work far better as an expression of regret, in the event that Britain had voted Remain rather than Leave. It is national flags like this one one that the EU has been working tirelessly to replace with its own flag. Very odd. But, a striking image nevertheless.
First, this, which was the graphic on the front page of today's pro-Remain Daily Mirror, and reproduced at Samizdata, which Natalie Solent reckons sends a somewhat ambiguous message. I agree. Because REMAIN is in the biggest letters, it looks like it could be saying that if you vote REMAIN, you'll be sucked into a black hole. As you will, by the way, if enough people do this. This is indeed the fate that awaits us all, in the event of a REMAIN victory. One of the reasons why this graphic only works when misunderstood, is that when misunderstood, it becomes true!
The thing is, the EU is a lot nearer to being like a black hole than us leaving the EU is. For that message, they needed something more like an endless desert, or a huge tundra, or maybe some grim maritime scene, doom-laden as far as they eye can see.
The enormity of this decision is, I feel, appropriately reflected in the deranged graphics which occurred when this picture got loaded up. Samizdata usually centres pictures automatically, and also makes them smaller automatically, if they need to be smaller. That doesn't seem to be happening at the moment.
In the comment thread on that posting, I mentioned that it was raining. Which it was, torrentially. But alas, it soon cleared up, thereby not dampening down the London (= Remain) vote as much it might have if it had rained with less violence but greater steadiness. I mean, they even managed to have a shortened game of cricket at Lord's, after the rain had stopped.
And on the right there, Elizabeth Hurley, who will have voted Leave by now, that being the picture she Twittered yesterday along with her support for Leave. There she stands, wearing only high-healed sandals and a Union Jack cushion, or that's how it looks. Thankyou Guido. She was probably right that this would get noticed, and would aid the cause she favours. But I bet the Leavers have been circulating their own interpretations of this rather odd picture. Is the picture recent, I wonder, or does it date from way back?
At least it is upbeat and optimistic in atmosphere, unlike that black hole.
One of the more intriguing consequences of the not-now-so-very-recent (what with another one coming along) Scottish independence referendum (which happened in September 2014) was that, rather suddenly, the world (by which I really mean: I) suddenly found itself (myself) contemplating the idea of the Union Jack flag disappearing into the history books. Had Scotland gone separate, the Union Jack would surely have had to be redesigned. I would not have regretted Scotland detatching itself from England, in fact I would have voted for this if I could have. But, I would have regretted the passing of the Union Jack, if only because it is such a great design, so recognisable that it is capable of being endlessly mucked about with, while still remaining the Union Jack.
The new, non Scottish version of the Union Jack might have looked a bit like the bag on the left here, as we look:
That snap was snapped in 2015, after the Scottish referendum, but I don't think those designs have anything to do with politics. They're just simplified and rather dull variations on the Union Jack theme. The one on the left just happens to look a lot like the Union Jack minus the Saltire. (Saltire is the Scottish flag, right? Yes.) But what does the one on the right signify? In terms of the flags that go towards the Union Jack, it takes the blue stripes from the Saltire and turns them into a background for the red bits of the Welsh and English flags. So actually, it's just a blue bag, with bits of red Union Jack-ish stuff on it. Maybe there was also a red one with white Union Jack-ish stuck on, to complete the red white and blue set. I might never have bothered showing the above photo here, if it hadn't been for the Saltire subtraction angle.
I had already been snapping Union Jack snaps, since quite a while before that moment of the Union Jack's possible moment of disappearance. I long ago added "funny things being done with the Union Jack" to my mental photo-category list, alongside such things as bald blokes taking photos, utilitarian and commonplace footbridges, taxis covered in adverts, Big Things seen from a long way away in among foreground clutter, and so forth and so on. But, since that earlier referendum, I have been taking photos of Union Jacks with particular zeal.
Here are a couple of very recent Union Jack snaps I did. The first is of some flip-flops, on sale at the Parliament end of Westminster Bridge:
I reckon it's the cellophane that gives that its artistic effect.
And here is a London taxi wing mirror:
That taxi décor isn't part of an advert. It is just a taxi decorated with the Union Jack.
And then, while I was ruminating on a posting along these lines, came this piece of graphic Union Jackery, from the Spectator, to decorate their decision to back the Leave campaign in the forthcoming EU referundum:
This reminded me of a picture I took in East London five years ago, of some Art:
I could continue, with yet more Union Jack snaps, but I will end with some more Brexit propaganda. Still on the flying theme, just before I took the above snap of how fabulous Britain will be and will feel if we Leave, here, taken just moments earlier, is another Artistic-type picture of how ghastly things will be and will feel if we Remain. That's the EU there, trying and failing to take wing, because its bureaucracy is far too big and heavy and its wings far too feeble and misshapen, crushing us as it plummets to earth:
Are you thinking that there really needs to be a Union Jack on that car, to make this point even clearer? But that's exactly point! The EU scrubs out the Union Jack. Look! The Union Jack is nowhere to be seen! The EU has totally obliterated it! What could be clearer?
Slightly more seriously, the EU's rulers will not be happy until they have driven the Union Jack into the history books, not by breaking up Britain, but by swallowing it and turning it into either fuel for itself, or shit. The only Union they want, and want celebrated with a flag, is their own.

For years I have wondered how to put videos done by others at this blog. My problem has always been that they were too big. 560 pixels wide instead of 500 pixels, which is the width here. This evening, I thought I observed that "Brexit: The Movie", as shown at Bishop Hill, was the exact same width as stuff at my blog. So, I rootled around in the source code for the Bishop's posting of Brexit, and dug up what seemed to be the relevant bit. It turned out I was wrong about the width. It was 560, same as it always seems to be, But having got this far I tried just changing the bit in the code where it said "560" to "500", and that seemed to work. The video seemed to get a bit smaller. (I changed 500 to 300 just to be sure I wasn't imagining it.) I did some more sums, which told me to change 315 to 280, and here it is, 500 pixels wide, fingers crossed:
There is some kind of EUro-metaphor or EUro-moral buried in this story, concerning believing that a straight-jacket was actually tighter and more rigid than it really was, but I'm too tired to be bothering about that.
Tomorrow, I will watch it.

As nudged by Simon Gibbs yesterday, I did indeed make my way to Trafalgar Square to check out Kenny and his Brexit chalk-proclamation.
The photos I sent to Libertarian Home yesterday evening were strictly utilitarian, to tell LH exactly what Kenny had written. Read the entire thing there.
Here, on the other hand, are some pictures which give more of an idea of how it looked, what the atmosphere was, and what Kenny himself looks like:
The atmosphere was low-key, actually. There were no scenes or arguments, although I did hear the occasional "not going to read it all because it says Out", as people walked away. Others, however, did stop and read. Most significant, I would guess, were those with mobile phones who were, unlike me, maybe passing it on with twenty-first century immediacy. (I had to wait until I got home before I could send off my photos.)
I had to wait a while for Kenny to finish his efforts. I got there before 3pm, and it wasn't until just after 5pm that he was done. And he started at 10am.
But it was worth the wait, and there was plenty else in Trafalgar Square to divert me, and to take photos of. But photos like that can wait. First things first, and that means Kenny.
Nothing much here today, but I just did three Samizdata postings today and yesterday:
Brexit – the argument from confusion.
Dominic Frisby takes on the Edinburgh Fringe
I have always felt that the fascination with cat photos that has engulfed the internet was somehow more important than just being a matter of cat photos, engulfing the internet. Now it seems that cat photos are a threat to Islam, and must be forbidden. For me, cats means pure fun. No purpose is served. Other than the purpose (purr-puss) of having fun. And it seems that there is this crazy Sheikh who also thinks that photoing cats is pure fun also, and that this is why photoing cats should be forbidden. For him, I guess, fun is never pure. Quite the opposite.
One of my regular automatic google-searches is "face recognition", and just now this has been alerting me to all the various tricks that are coming on stream for making face recognition not work, by putting on make-up, or spectacles, and such like.
Here is my contribution to this discussion:
I know what you're thinking. Who might that be?
Exactly. Although, if you're are supercomputer, you have probably worked it out. You have a special programme which tells you to take particular interest in any faces that are trying to not be recognised.
Most of my libertarian friends think that such tech solutions are the front line of this battle. I have long assumed that the world is moving rapidly towards a state where the question of what is X doing at the moment is technologically answerable, and impossible to prevent being answered. For me, among other desirable things, libertarianism is the claim that although we can see X saying or doing something we don't approve of, we shouldn't legally prevent him or her from doing that, unless it is really, really bad.
In a world of Total Surveillance by the Big Machine, the proliferation of stupid rules and regulations with no huge moral content becomes a problem like it never used to be. I means rules about things like what you should eat or smoke or, now, say in conversation. Rules like that mean that we can all now be seen and heard breaking such rules. (Okay, maybe not now, maybe not yet, but that's where things are headed.) And that means that anyone who wants to fuck up your life or my life (for an actual real reason that has bugger all to do with the stupid rule actually being broken) can then do it. Worse, some legislative maniac might demand that anyone that the Big Machine sees breaking this or that rule that he personally is obsessed about, should be automatically fucked over, by the Big Machine, with no human intervention involved. With a big long list of exceptions, like legislators. The Big Machine can't touch them. Libertarianism has arisen, partly, because it has become ever more necessary to insist on certain principles, principles which were imposed upon the world in former times by sheer ignorance of what other people were getting up to.
The other thing people have to do is develop thicker skins, psychologically speaking I mean, because although legislative pressure is not now a problem for most people, social pressure can become a big problem, for example if you find yourself being mobbed on the internet for some innocuous thing you said or ate. Just because a million idiots on the internet are screeching that you are an idiot, that doesn't mean you are, or that if you are, it matters. When it does matter, bosses should chill, and not fire people just because the mob is screeching. I applaud, tentatively, the recent tendency to give social media mobsters a going-over, using the same methods on them that they have been using. Who is this mad bitch? What has she (it does often seem to be she) been up to lately? What is her job? Who is her boss? Etc. (In the age of cyber-bullying, I feel that I now understand witchcraft crazes better.)
Another problem is that as something easily mistaken for a state of everyone knowing everything increasingly pertains, that old illusion that everything will accordingly be centrally plannable is likely to keep rearing its very ugly head, and keep on having to be experienced as a disastrous illusion. (More libertarianism.) The point is, everyone doesn't know everything. Nothing like. We can't. Our heads aren't big enough, and even if they were, knowledge is not like that. Everyone can known anything in particular that is easy to know (like where X is just now) that they want to know and ask the Big Machine about. That's entirely different from actual omniscience.
I learned a lot (big thank you to the invaluable Guido Seen Elsewhere section) from Leslie Loftis about why the sort of person who likes him likes Ted Cruz:
The stubbornness against Cruz is personal. We are fellow Houstonians. I know many people who have worked with him and many more who know someone who has. I've followed his career since late 2010 when my husband asked me to look into a lawyer named Ted Cruz, former solicitor general. Word in the Texas lawyer circles was that he wanted to challenge Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst for retiring Kay Bailey Hutchinson's Senate seat. It was an impossible task according to the conventional wisdom. But many of the grassroots conservatives were tired of the party's conventional wisdom.
Cruz covered every county in Texas, and he won votes with every hand he shook. People liked his ideas, and they liked him. He went from two per cent name recognition to an early call and huge victory in the Republican primary. (In Texas, that is the election.) I was there, and I liked what I saw.
But that is the people. And his staff. They are loyal. Intellectuals and party players, and the friends of those intellectuals and party players, however, sound like George W. Bush, "I just don't like that guy."
I've asked for substantive objections. They don't come. Even the personality objections lack details. "Not nice." Stories like mine about the kiss or videos of a dad taking a moment to airplane with his daughter, those don't get air.
I've come to the same conclusion as this citizen journalist, "I believe what these elitists hate the most is that they feel that Ted Cruz looks down on them. Ted Cruz doesn't respect them because they have money, or because they went to Harvard, or because they are men of power. Ted Cruz is motivated by principle, not class. Ted Cruz has a political agenda and a love of constitution that overrules loyalty to his Ivy League brethren."
For the egos of his Ivy League brethren and their friends, we are jeopardising our Republic. Because they "just don't like that guy", we risk nominating the fickle and hardly likeable Donald Trump for president and actually electing the conniving Hillary Clinton. The American experiment is at stake, and our elites are pouting that the man rising to lead is not their kind of guy.
True, he is not. And that is why the people like him.
All of which only serves to flesh out some of things said by Tom Grey in a comment he recently attached to my earlier Cruz piece.
In my opinion, an amazing proportion of the trouble in the world is caused by men - mostly it is men - disagreeing about their relative importance in the world. The GOP's top dogs think they are topper dogs than young whippersnapper Cruz, but Cruz does not acknowledge this, because he's a whippersnapper. Which is why the voters like Ted Cruz and why the GOP elite hate Ted Cruz.
It's now looking like Cruz may be the Sun Tzuist, rather than Trump. And it looks as though the long-term significance of the Trump phenomenon may be that he is clearing the path for Cruz, by making a sufficient number of Republicans like Cruz, simply because he is not Trump. More probably, there is no Sun Tzu happening here. This is just how it happens to be turning out.
More anti-Trumpery here. Summary: Trump won't stand up to detailed scrutiny. For starters, he ain't nearly as rich as he pretends.
All of which is great for people like me and Tom Grey, who like Cruz because he is Cruz.
On the other hand … Trumpophrenia strikes again.
I like to photo the covers of newspapers and magazines. Such snaps can be very evocative, when looking back at them.
One of the more memorable of such snaps recently was this:
The whole Brexit argument seems to be turning into a clash of pessimisms. Which would be more ghastly? Britain staying in or Britain getting out?
Here is a piece that argues that Brexit would be ghastly, for the EU. As well as all the hoo-hah about refugees, there's also the little matter of the EU economy collapsing. If Brexit happens, so might that.
So, will the Remainiacs argue, come the Referendum, that we must stay in, to save EUrope? Could be. The argument will be: if we leave, that will wreck EUrope, and that will wreck Britain.
And the Leavers will say: well, if EUrope is a wreck waiting to happen, we'd do better to get out. Whatever happens, the immediate future looks terrible. If we get out, at least we could then look toward our own longer term future with a bit of optimism. We will save ourselves by our exertions, and then EUrope by our example, bascially by turning EUrope back into Europe. Brexit will be like Dunkirk.
There has for some time now, I think, been a breed of "national" politician – Cameron and Osborne are such – whose first loyalty is to the global elite and to such enterprises as the EU, rather than to their own mere countries. They are not really our leaders anymore. They are more like District Commissioners for The Empire.
Personally, I do not oppose The Empire just because it is an Empire. I oppose The Empire, now, because I don't think the Imperialists are running it very well. And I favour Brexit now both because I think that, on balance, Brexit will be better for Britain, and because the Imperialists need a good kick up the bum. More politely, I think these people should stop being so "anti-patriotic". They need to stop regarding patriotism as their enemy.
More exactly and less windily, the Imperialists also need to follow better financial policies. I think they are more likely to do this if Britain competes with EUrope than if Britain is a province of EUrope. And what might these policies be? Well, the world needs competing currencies, both because the best of these will be quite good, and because they will stir the world's fiat currencies into being better. That's more likely to happen if the world consists of a looser affiliation of semi-sovereign states than a tight Empire of provinces, ruled unchallengeably by Cameron, Osborne, and their gaggle of rich, powerful, and actually somewhat stupid, friends.
I recently said here that I was finding it to be a pleasure to be contemplating the rise and rise of Donald Trump, but I also said that it was a guilty pleasure, and I really meant that. Mostly, the phrase "guilty pleasure" is used to describe a pleasure that is merely rather uncool, like liking Abba even before the gays did, which is exactly what I did because I liked them as soon as I first heard them win the Eurovision Song Contest, and this despite their absurd trousers. But that's not a "guilty pleasure". A guilty pleasure is when you enjoy something immoral, like Donald Trump and Donald Trump doing well. There was never anything morally wrong about Abba, and I never felt in the slightest bit guilty about liking them.
The immorality of Donald Trump is that he is the living embodiment of crony capitalism, and crony capitalism is the problem, not the solution. He might become a good President, but only if he turns over an entirely new leaf and starts believing in non-crony capitalism. This is not impossible. Having been one of these creatures himself, Trump may at least be able to spot other creatures of this genus, and he may decide that whereas being a crony-capitalist was good for him, a super-abundance of crony-capitalists is bad for America.
But why take the chance? Just as likely is that Trump will carry right on being a crony-capitalist, this time by obliging all the other crony-capitalists with little slices of his Presidential power, and charging them each a fee.
Based on what little I know of him, Cruz seems like the least worst Presidential candidate with a serious chance of winning, and now it is starting to look as if he just might win. I said in that earlier piece that Trump was going to walk it, but now it seems he might not even stagger it. Cruz might win. I have liked Cruz ever since I heard an interview someone did with him, during which Cruz revealed that he was enthusiastically pro the Constitution of the United States. Wow, that's subversive talk, of the kind that I personally like a lot.
Here is how a commenter ("Prince of Whitebread"), on the piece linked to above, puts it:
I would ask the Trump supporters why Trump continues to get press and airtime far in excess of the others. Answer: Trump is the Candidate the MSM wants to face Hillary. The PajamaBoy Press soils their onesies every time they contemplate Ted Cruz debating Abuela Hillary. They know he'd destroy her with logic, facts, the Constitution, and her own gymnast principles.
"Abuela" is, I believe, the Spanish for Granny.
So, are the hoards of Trump enthusiasts now starting to agree with such anti-Trumpery, and to switch to the man that the establishment truly hates and truly fears? Would Cruz winning the Republican nomination, and in due course the Presidency, be a non-guilty pleasure? Or is he just another version of the establishment? Is he terrible too?
LATER: Roger L. Simon:
Which leads me to the real topic: Trumpophrenia. I suffer from it and it's only getting worse. I change my opinion about Donald almost every five minutes - and I can't be the only one. There may be millions of us.
I am not alone.
In other more immediate and sub-sonic aviation news:
Passenger jet forced to make evasive manoeuvre to avoid smashing into drone that came within five metres of the plane as it comes in to land in Paris
Which about tells the whole story.
It seems that I am not the only one reminiscing about photos taken nearly a decade ago. The Atlantic is now doing this, with the help of NASA and its Cassini orbiter, and the Cassini orbiter's oresumably now rather obsolete camera:
Saturn's sixth-largest moon, Enceladus (504 kilometers or 313 miles across), is the subject of much scrutiny, in large part due to its spectacular active geysers and the likelihood of a subsurface ocean of liquid water. NASA's Cassini orbiter has studied Enceladus, along with the rest of the Saturnian system, since entering orbit in 2004. Studying the composition of the ocean within is made easier by the constant eruptions of plumes from the surface, and on October 28, Cassini will be making its deepest-ever dive through the ocean spray from Enceladus - passing within a mere 30 miles of the icy surface. Collected here are some of the most powerful and revealing images of Enceladus made by Cassini over the past decade, with more to follow from this final close flyby as they arrive.
Here is a picture of Enceladus taken on June 10th 2006:
That is picture number 25, or rather, a horizontal slice of it.
Beyond Enceladus and Saturn's rings, Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is ringed by sunlight passing through its atmosphere. Enceladus passes between Titan and Cassini ...
That's right. Those two horizontal, ever so slightly converging white lines and the edge of the Rings of Saturn.
Picture number 10 is even more horizontalisable:
A pair of Saturn's moons appear insignificant compared to the immensity of the planet in this Cassini spacecraft view. Enceladus, the larger moon is visible as a small sphere, while tiny Epimetheus (70 miles, or 113 kilometers across) appears as a tiny black speck on the far left of the image, just below the thin line of the rings.
That one was taken on November 4th 2011.
My thanks, for the second time in as many days, to 6k for pointing me to these amazing images.
Today I did a Samizdata posting about Corbyn and his atrocious supporters, and I celebrate that fact with this photo, taken on the last day of last month, of Labour Leader Corbyn, made to look like he has reached his level of incompetence:
Moments later I took another photo, of a bus. I am now officially photoing any London double decker bus of the new Boris variety, provided that it is entirely covered with an advert:
The point being that just as Black Cabs are not by any means always black, so too, London's famed double decker buses are by no means always red.
This particular advert certainly worked, because I am drinking cider right now. But, not of the variety advertised on this bus.

Russian Orthodox Church marks 300 years in China
ucanews.com reporter, Hong Kong
December 7, 2012
The Russian Orthodox Church has held several events in Hong Kong to mark 300 years since Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722) issued a decree approving the founding of the Russian Spiritual Mission in Beijing.
As well as liturgy services there was a roundtable conference yesterday to discuss various issues the Orthodox Church encounters in China today.
The Orthodox Church is not among the five government-recognized religions in China. There are four churches in the country which are officially allowed to hold services but there are no full-time priests.
There are roughly 15,000 to 20,000 Chinese believers across China.
Books featuring a Russian-Chinese translation on catechism, missiology, liturgy and history were also on display while commemorative stamps depicting former bishops and churches in China were issued in Hong Kong earlier this year.

About this Business
From Our Editors
Each day at Benton's Cafe, staffers unveil a different fresh deli wrap, as diners peruse the permanent menu of classic American sandwiches, salads, and breakfast dishes. The kitchen staff assembles tried-and-true deli cuisine with classic cold cuts, Waldorf chicken salad, and tuna salad. They adapt their sandwich-smithing finesse at breakfast as well, piling eggs, bacon, and sausage atop biscuits and english muffins. A line-up of elegant pastries inhabits a display case that glistens under dangling light fixtures, floor-to-ceiling windows, and the perma-white grin of unemployed game show hosts angling for a complimentary snack.
