NewsMediaWorks chief executive Mark Hollands has resigned from the organisation and will leave next Thursday.
Australia's Fairfax Media has taken the first steps to freeing up the value in it businesses with preparations for the "potential separation" of the Domain real estate listings operation
The 'D'-word has made a welcome return to top-level comments about Fairfax Media's print publishing future: That's right daily newspapers.
Perceptions that social media is more trustworthy than newspapers are a topic the upcoming Publish Asia conference in Kuala Lumpur plans to address... and a reminder to get Media Awards entries in!
With just five weeks until New Zealand's Commerce Commission decides whether publishers NZME and Fairfax NZ can merge, the battle for hearts clearly isn't being won on the video front.

6 Easy Eco Escapes From New York City
Buttermilk Spa
There are plenty of spas you could visit in the city, but walking out into the muggy, crowded city streets after your massage is a bit of a relaxation buzz-kill. At the Buttermilk Falls Inn and Spa, you can indulge yourself in a serene Hudson Valley atmosphere. Owned by Robert Pollock, founder of SoHo's Great Jones Spa, Buttermilk is dedicated to a green philosophy. They use only naturally crafted, organic products for all of their treatments, and the sauna and steam room are powered with solar and geothermal energy. A day pass to the spa is only $35 plus the cost of services, which include massages, facials, herbal therapy, yoga classes, and more. To make it a weekend trip, book one of the ten rooms at the spa's quaint Buttermilk Falls Inn. An old trading post overlooking the Hudson River, the inn offers just as much relaxation as the spa itself. (Buttermilk Falls Inn and Spa; 220 North Road, Milton, NY; two hour drive from NYC)
Handsome Brook Organic Farm
If you really want to get back to nature and get your hands dirty, book a weekend at the Handsome Brook Organic Farm. Handsome Brook is a sustainable farm nestled between the Catskill and the Adirondack Mountains, where you can actually become a part of the farm's day-to-day operations. On your stay, you can help pick the vegetables and weed the berry patches or you can groom and feed the animals. Handsome Brook wants to give you a fun, educational experience that deepens your relationship with the land and your food. You can be as busy as you desire, or you can just kick back and relax on the farm house's wide front porch. (Handsome Brook Organic Farm; 4132 East Handsome Brook Road, Franklin, NY; three hour drive from NYC)
Storm King Art Center
To immerse yourself in great art without being trapped in a museum all day, visit the Storm King Art Center. Located just an hour north of the city in the Hudson Valley, the 500 acre outdoor museum is filled with more than 100 pieces of sculpture and land art from some of the most acclaimed post-war modern and contemporary artists. The peaceful sanctuary is a calming escape from the chaos of New York. Set in Mountainville, NY, Storm King extends the idea of a sculpture garden to an entire landscape, beautifully celebrating the relationship between nature and art. Unencumbered by walls, the artworks are set within a magnificent exhibition space created by the distant mountains, the waving fields, and native woodlands of Storm King. The striking view of a sculpture from across the field, half a mile away with the mountains rising behind it is considered just as carefully as the native plants that surround its immediate location. If you don't have a car or don't want to rent one, Coach USA offers bus day trips for just $45. (Storm King Art Center; 1 Museum Road, New Windsor, NY; one hour by car)

Black Eyed Peas
Lights, colors and flames at the Californian band's gig in Milan
Famous for much more than a dozen excellent singles and the creators of the flash mob that made Oprah Winfrey hail at a miracle, the Black Eyed Peas get to Milan with their world tour "The E.N.D." (not at all a threat, but just the acronym of The Energy Never Dies).
Former model and Lopez-inspired singer Cheryl Cole is the opening act: she probably owes her success more to Fergie's declarations - who claims she wouldn't have any problems in entertaining a sexual relation with her - than to her song repertoire.
The gig is a celebration of laser rays and futuristic settings: a modern Wizard of Oz interpreted by robot-dancers or S&M mummies. Every now and then you could see someone flying off, popping out from trap doors or playing red pianos surrounded by stars you could only see at the planetarium.
The scenery is a total virtuoso display of lunar surfaces, ice-ages, eruptions. The director of photography may be easily seen as the fifth key element of the band's show.
The four show up all together or alone, introduced as video game characters. Taboo flies on a motorbike over the audience in awe, while Will.I.Am. "improvises" DJ sets without showing the slightest embarrassment when playing songs we have been listening for decades in discos. Yet, it works.
Fergie, with her flamboyant wardrobe created by Michael Schmidt - already a stylist to Madonna, Rihanna, Cher and Janet Jackson - fills up the theater with her stage presence and a renewed body shape.
The four artists praise Italy and Milan like even politicians wouldn't do in a rally, and are keen on enhancing that they almost never attend after parties, but will make an exception for Milan: it's their manager Paul's birthday. And the whole place is ready to chant "Happy birthday to you". In the end, we all know, the Black Eyed Peas can act a little tacky.
And so Milan moves, under the rain, to the Alcatraz to attend the party hosted by the sponsors, where more or less known VIPs sip on their "V.I.Pea" cocktails (created by Bacardi expressly for the band) whilst the B.E.P. have fun with their last DJ set. If you have a look around you'll see a bit of everything. But we can't really say the party is a huge success. The club is big and half-empty: nobody told the Black Eyed Peas that to celebrate Paul with Milan's fans they probably picked the wrong night: that of the closing party of Italian "Celebrity Survivor!".

San Franciso to Fort Bragg
... went up hill to overlook the harbour quite a treat with Alcatraz in back ground.
We decided to take the coast rd, but would suggest if u want to do this to go about 40miles north on101 instead of Coast Rd 1 straight off at salsalito,this first part was extremely winding and not very notable.
After this the coastal rd was beautiful very rugged in places and full beaches in ...
Playing in the woods
... there were things to see, but not as important to us as other things. Like everything in life, time management sometimes comes into play. We made a speed run down the 101 to our next stop, another Laurie "must see"......The Avenue of the Giants.
The Avenue of the Giants is actually the old route 101. The new 101 runs parallel to it, but bypasses the forests. Even I was impressed with the trees we saw. Trees 20 plus ...
Fried noodle
... and more forecast, we (Angela) came up with the cunning plan of stopping in a motel in Fort Bragg before catching a 7.30am bus to Santa Rosa the next day. This would mean avoiding some very steep lumpy sections of the route - lumpy is not good. This turned out to be an even better plan when Steve's bike had a little fall outside the laundromat, mangling his front brake noodle - the curved bit near the end of the cable. With no spare noodles, a bike shop would be required and with ...
Whales, lighthouse and other adventures
... sliced tomatoes and spinach. Very nice and while we were there, more whales appeared. What a treat this day was.
Back to the Big River and walked a ways with the dogs and then decided to turn around because it was sunnier than we had expected. Back to the campsite where we had a shared meal of black beans, rice, guacamole, pico de gallo and wine. Had a nice visit and then off to bed.
Exploring Northern California
... a orange grapefruit ginger soda going. We have been taking care of odds and ends to make sure we are ready for three months out of the country--gathering together travel essentials like mask and snorkels ; ). My Mom and I have been getting lots of visiting time and cooking time together which has been really nice. And We have been on a puzzle spree.

FS/T: Pro Choice hot pink rears. Size large!
These just came in the mail today from Big Dee's and they are going to be way too big. They ran out of mediums so I said I would take a chance on large, but I can tell they are going to be too big.
Brand new!! Professional Choice elites in hot pink. Size large and these are the rears. Will trade for Classic Equine pink mediums, or will sell for $30+shipping.
When these sell I will be on the look out for the classic equine brand of pink rear boots in medium.

text: The US national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $3.25 Monday down 3 cents from the same time last week, the AAA reported. The price is the lowest since Dec. 28, 2012, the automobile association said. It said approximately 13 percent of the gasoline stations in the United States are charging less than $3 per gallon. Missouri is the only state with an average price below the $3 per gallon mark, the AAA said. Avery Ash, an AAA spokesman, said in Friday's report for October gasoline prices the national average price should continue its decline. "There are fewer frowns on drivers' faces as they leave gas stations given recent price declines," he said. "Abundant supplies, declining demand, falling oil costs and the switch to winter-blend gasoline have helped push gas prices down in every single state." The AAA said demand declines after the Labor Day holiday and refiners in September can start making a winter-blend of gasoline, which is cheaper to make than the summer blend because of fewer environmental restrictions. The association said it expects the national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded to reach $3.10 before the end of the year.

I'm after a Double breast pump. At the moment I'm exclusively pumping up to 8 times a day using the Medela Symphony. This is a rented unit & it looks like I'm going to need to pump longer than I thought, so wanting to purchase my own.
I'm considering a Medela Freestyle @ $510. I like that its portable, so I can take it with me when I'm out rather than having to use the manual pump.
I have also heard if Unimom but I don't know anything about it.
Does anyone have any feedback on the Freestyle, good or bad?
Does it stand up to long term frequent use?

Child Safety: Problem and Prevention from Pre-School to Adolescence: A Handbook for Professionals
Child safety is everybody's concern, but much professional activity is misinformed or based on a misrepresentation of the facts, and preventative action is rarely adequately evaluated. Written and edited by leading researchers with an active role in social policy, this new book challenges both our understanding of the problem of child safety and points to the impotence of "educational" approaches based on "knowledge enhancement". The strong message is that improving children's knowledge has little or no effect on their behaviour. From the physical abuse of young children to drug abuse in adolescence, this book presents a radical new perspective on a key social issue.

The Newton MV3 is a zero-drop road racing shoe ideal for 5K to 10K distances.
The Newton MV3 is all about running fast. Springy lugs in the forefoot offer a responsive underfoot feel, and a low heel sets you up for an efficient and nimble stride. A flexible, open mesh upper won't weigh you down and provides plenty of airflow for cool comfort. The MV3 is ideal for 5k and 10k racing and speedwork.
Model Number:
Weight: 5.4 oz (size 9)
Stack Height: Heel (17mm), Forefoot (18mm); measurement includes forefoot lugs. Two 3mm heel lifts are included with the shoes.
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
Comments: Terrible shoe! Because these shoes force you onto your forefeet, it places a tremendous amount of stress on your achilles. I got achilles tendonitis because of these shoes after a couple sessions with them. Now I have to take time off from training while I recover. I regret buying them and sent them back. Unless you have very strong calves and ankles, do not buy these shoes. Even Newton stopped carrying it on its own website despite that this is a relatively new model.
From: Anonymous. July 2nd 2015
Comments: These shoes are fast, truly. I run faster in these than comparable weight shoes. I feel the lugs give a performance benefit. In terms of performance, I use them as a daily trainer, did a 20 miler in them, and plan to run my May marathon in them. My only complaint is durability. I have 317 miles on them now, and they may make to 400. I supinate which leads to a very unequal wear on the outside lugs on each shoe, I deem the shoe retired when the lug disappears : ).
From: Dave, Milwaukee, WI, USA. April 17th 2014
Comments: I have gone trough 2 MV2s and now have the MV3. They are OK for the experienced runner up to and including the half marathon, but would really put a beating on my body (M62) if I tried to run a full marathon in them.
From: Tim, Philadelphia, Pa. USA. 2/25/14
Comments: I race(d) in the MV2, but had to order it half a size large due to the narrow width of the MV2. In conversations with Newton (fantastic customer service!) they said the MV3 was wider in the toe box vs. the MV2, but still with the slipper like fit of a racing flat. I took a chance and ordered the MV3 the day it came out (this week), and was NOT disappointed. I am able to wear my typical size, and yes, it issnug, but exactly how a racing flat SHOULD fit. The MV2 had too much space for length, as I ordered 1/2 size up. The MV3 is perfect. In comparing the two shoes, the MV3 is lighter, looks better, and fits better. One other note...the MV3's lugs are less pronounced than other Newton shoes I own (MV2, Gravity, and Distance), but you still definitely notice the 0 (negative 1 !!!) drop!

Rated 1 out of 5 by denisemartinez from Expensive mistake We've had this popper for just over a year and noticed the diminished quality over time (we had to hover over it as it popped and use a long wooden spoon to nudge the popped popcorn or else it would get stuck in the chute and burn). Now the lever that releases more popcorn broke and the machine quit.

Very short life for a expensive machine.Date published: 2016-12-13Rated 1 out of 5 by Beefy19 from Worked well once I purchased this as a gift for my wife as a way to have a single serving popcorn snack. It worked well the first time we used it and now it burns kernels and the air doesn't push out the popped kernels. We have tried different types and sizes of kernels with the same result. This is a waste of $$$.Date published: 2016-12-12Rated 1 out of 5 by Johnny719 from Worst popper ever We bought this machine because we liked the styling and thought it would look stylish left out on the counter rather than putting it away each time as we did with our previous machine. What a mistake,terrible popper,the popped kernels would get stuck in the chamber constantly unless you made a tiny amount it just couldn't handle it. It just felt cheap and shoddy. Don't bother purchasing,buy the Kitchen Aid version,simpler and much more effective.Date published: 2016-10-22Rated 1 out of 5 by nope from Disappointed I had to return this because it didn't pop the popcorn. I tried several times and it would only pop a few kernels at a time. Then the on button stuck in the off position, so I had to hold the button on for it to work. I used this item for about 20 minutes and boxed it up to return it. It was a big disappointment!Date published: 2016-08-19Rated 1 out of 5 by sweetben from didn't last two years Bought this for a friend. She was very happy with it and used it frequently. It burned out before she had it for two years.Date published: 2016-08-07Rated 1 out of 5 by Bigloaf from Nice Try but a lousy corn popper The concept intrigued me but they didn't do enough testing. Air popped popcorn is not the most tender so you look for small kernel popcorn which is more tender than the large kernel varieties. Due to the short popping chamber of this popper, it blows a lot (up to 40%) of the smaller kernel popcorn out before they are popped. Using larger kernel popcorn, most of the popcorn stays in the chamber before being popped but is tough and chewey. However it is also very quiet for an air popper. If you are looking to make gourmet popcorn, do not get this machine. Go with a conventional popper that uses oil and mechanical agitation.Date published: 2016-07-29

Balenciaga, comic books, Elle, fantasy, fashion, fashion magazine, Givenchy, science fiction, Vogue
From my blog post for Singularity&Co., the futurist digital publisher and vintage pulp bookshop:
The fashion industry is the kookiest contender in the futurist camp, but it belongs there. From the thousand-yard stare of runway models to the lament of "that's so last season," the discourse is always intent upon the horizon. It's no cosmic coincidence that a serious sci fi, fantasy and comic slant dominates designer narratives and editorial imaginings this year: In this time of vivid geopolitical and economic anxieties, escaping to the future is so very now.
Annually fashioning the Western psyche, the definitive September issues look forward to the heroic attitude and quixotic allure of femininity that's lived on the pages of pulp. Photographer Steven Klein's unsettling "Space Odyssey" story for Vogue strands a cyborg beauty in a stark landscape of interstellar transport and faceless drones:
Elsewhere in the issue, David Sims shoots model Karlie Kloss styled as a cyberpunk corporate climber in angular office ensembles resonant with a modern metropolis:
Casting the cartoonish coiffure in a softer light is fabulist photographer Tim Walker in this Vogue beauty spread:
Critics see protectionism in harder edges and androgynous shapes, a form of fashionable firewall. The heroine chic in ELLE magazine gives this a potent pop twist with a comic book primary palette:
The printed sweatshirt-style top from Balenciaga seen above was shown at the top of a customized floor in a Parisian office tower, part of a collection inspired by corporate spies and IT workers (see the runway video here). From the looks of the iconic Givenchy tees released earlier this year, an unholy organic/inorganic hybrid of Voltron robotics, bird-of-paradise biology and Bettie Page pinups, science fiction sportswear has indeed become the new style overlord:
The worlds of sci fi, fantasy and comics have put women in powerful roles for decades–it's about time fashion looked for inspiration not from street style but space opera. We'll update this post with the most futuristic looks as Fashion Week continues worldwide this month.

Category: Transport Chairs
When I received the chair it was exactly as it looked on the picture. Was very pleased with it!!
Pros:We like that it's smaller and not as heavy to lift as a regular wheelchair. We especially like the swing away foot rests!!! That is an awesome feature. So much easier to get them out of the chair when you don't have to go around fixed foot rests!!! It also maneuvers really well in and out of smaller doorways. That's the main reason I ordered this particular chair. It is also very easy to push and turn. Would totally recommend this narrow fit transport chair!!!
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
Now I do not have to depend on getting one of those handicap carts at the stores if there is not one. I keep this in the trunk of my car.
Pros:Serves the purpose for why I purchased it.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
2nd Drive Transport / this one for upstairs area
Pros:easy to use, fits through all doors
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
very good product for price - would buy from you again.
Cons:none, except the smaller wheels in back would not allow me to push the wheels with my hands.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
This chair is excellent for home use where the narrow width helps get into smaller rooms such as bathrooms
Pros:See above
Cons:Nothing - works great.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
I am sending it back
Cons:too small for me
Overall: No, I would not recommend this product.

3 X 2 = 6 days travelling
... After a photo it was on to Durham. Our hotel was on the outskirts of town but ended up being one of those hotels that you would always stay at again if you were in the area. Modern rooms, parking just outside your window and a lovely bar and restaurant. We had a quick drive through the town in the morning and thought that this might be a town we would like to explore more next time. We rode out of Durham, catching only a glimpse ...
... to experience the rotation between the canals. From Falkirk we drove 4 hours to York to visit the National Railway Museum where there are trains on display from Stevenson's Rocket to the modern day Euro Star and the Japanese Bullet Train. After booking in to a B&B in York we walked to a local pub for dinner and then wandered to the York Cathedral. What an amazing church and so large. The bells rang around 8pm and I think my ears are still ringing from that ...
Schools out for summer
The months of anticipation and planning are over, here we are, lives packed in a campervan waiting to sail for Rotterdam and the Rhine lands beyond. The drive down to Hull was fairly uneventful. After a morning of rain showers we collected Evan from school and were underway by 2pm. Evan slept half of the way.

Chicago Schools Take A Stand On Immigration Enforcement
As educators around the United States wonder whether a crackdown on immigrants will reach their schoolhouse doors, principals in Chicago have been given a simple order: Do not let federal immigration agents in without a criminal warrant. The stand taken by Chicago Public Schools, the country's third-largest school system, is among the boldest of the districts that have announced measures to protect those who may be living in the country illegally. In districts like Chicago, where nearly half of the 381,000 students are Hispanic, there is concern that immigration authorities could grab parents outside the schools and their children inside.

I am the winner of The Skormdar's Event. The Skormdar's Event is a sick, twisted event made by the Skormdar Rebellion, where thirty people are kidnapped from anywhere around the world to participate. In the Event, you have to collect Emblems, which are located inside a person's left lung. So yes, you have to kill to get them. You have to collect twenty nine Emblems, since one is located in your own lung. I really didn't like the fact I had to kill to get them. But I did what had to do.
There are two stages of the Event. First stage is the Gladiator Arena Fight. As the name goes, you pretty much fight to the death, and only one can get out. Fifteen people are put into that stage. The second stage is the Challenge Maze. In there, the rest of the participants are placed in areas around the maze, which come with a challenge. No matter if you complete or fail the challenge, someone always dies. If you win the challenge, the other dies, if you lose, well I guess you know what happens then.
After you collect all 29 Emblems, you have to find the door which will lead to the exit. Sometimes this could take hours, or even days. 50% of the time people find the exit, while the other half die of malnutrition or hunger. In my case, I found the door, but only just. I was nearly done for it, but on the other side of the door, there was food and water. That's only part of the reward of the Skormdar Rebellion, the rest of the prize in only $5,000. It's not much, but I guess the rest of the prize is life, so I reckon that's enough.
After ten minutes of being in the food and water room, you're transported to a docking station like place, and then transported back to an alleyway in the nearest town you live in. Well that's what happened to me anyway. Anyway, I'm writing a first person book about my experience of The Skormdar Event, which was absolutely terrifying.
Ok. Here it goes. I woke up in this disgusting rotting room in complete darkness. The wallpaper was torn and moist, the carpet was destroyed, the bed had broken springs and metal rods pointing out of the mattress, and there were no windows. I was in complete darkness. It was quite scary, sitting in the darkness. I felt around the place to see if there was anything I could have used for light, but no luck. My hands were getting quite wet from the moist walls. I could tell they were mouldy from the stench, but there was another stench in there as well, the smell of something rotten, decay.
At the time of me smelling something horrible, lights pulsed through the room. The wallpapers used to be a brilliant blue and white with light lime carpeting. I looked up at the roof and saw blood spots all over. I looked on the ground, and saw a half skeleton half fleshy body rotting. Rats and maggots surrounded the body, consuming all the wet flesh. I couldn't bare the look of it. It was horrifying, seeing as it looked like a mid teen girl. She must of committed suicide on the bed I thought at the time. It would have been possible since of the metal rods and springs poking out of the bed.
I went to sit on the bed as I was getting tired of standing, and also I was getting quite nauseous from the corpse, but it wasn't a good idea, because metal rods stuck straight into my arse. I screamed in pain extremely loudly, and nearly deafened myself as the noised bounced off the walls. After screaming, an over-head announcement was made on a PA system. "Attention victims. Welcome to The Skormdar's Event. You have been proudly selected to perform in our event, produced by Skormdar himself. The rules of the games are as follows. Rule 1: collect Emblems, which are located in everyone's left lung. Rule 2: No suicide. Rule 3: Kill in order to get the Emblems. And rule 4: try and win. There are thirty of you in this event. In thirty seconds a wall will spin and reveal weapons for your battle in the first round. Good luck to every one of you."
I was quite scared after she said "kill". I didn't want to kill anyone. But obviously the rules were that I have to. I can remember a thought I was thinking at the time "I think this event is like one of those 'Survival of the Fittest' things." I had to gather my thoughts, as I was panicking and I had a burst of adrenaline flood my body, so I was pretty much pacing and panicking. "Forty five seconds until event starts. Commence Weapon rack wall in fifteen seconds." The female over-head voice announced. I thought to myself "Ok. Now, what type of weapons do I get? Sword for close combat might come in handy, a gun for if I am stuck in a serious situation, and maybe some throwing knifes." It was a random selection, but I was guessing it does work.
"Thirty seconds until Event starts. Commencing weapon rack wall now." The over-head voice announced again. One of the walls turned and I could see so many shiny things. Swords, Guns, Bows and arrows, maces, throwing knifes and a bag. I grabbed what I was planning on getting, and shoved them in my bag. As soon as I finished grabbing weapons, the wall turned around and shut with force. I swung the sword around to see how light it was. It was fairly light, and sharp. I accidently swung the sword into the girl's corpse and sliced her head off. I didn't notice I did that until it rolled onto my feet.
"Ten seconds until event starts. Get ready, good luck." The over-head voice announced for the last time. I quickly got the sword out for ready. All my fear completely washed away in those final seconds I thought would be my last. The only emotion that surged through my body was surprisingly excitement. I thought it was the adrenaline running through my body, but I was genuinely excited. "Let the Event begin!" a male over-head voice announced. A wall swung open and I could see a huge Roman looking arena. It sort of resembled the Coliseum. I ran out and I could see fourteen other people, running towards each other. And then the excitement washed away, and fear struck me again, as I saw my cousin in the middle of the battle.

Zachodni Jumps as Deutsche Bank Upgrades Polish LenderPiotr Bujnicki
Bank Zachodni WBK SA, Poland's third-largest lender and a unit of Banco Santander SA, rose to a two-week high after Deutsche Bank AG recommended buying its shares, citing improved earnings prospects after a merger with Kredyt Bank SA.
The stock climbed 3.1 percent to 270 zloty at the 5:30 p.m. close in Warsaw, extending this year's gain to 12 percent and valuing the bank at 25.3 billion zloty ($8.2 billion). Shares traded were 36 percent of the three-month daily average, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Santander merged Zachodni with its Warsaw-based unit Kredyt Bank last month as Spain's biggest bank expands in central Europe's biggest economy to help diversify its business. Santander bought Kredyt Bank from KBC Group NV in 2012, a year after completing a purchase of a majority stake in Zachodni from Allied Irish Banks Plc.
"With the legal merger done and more details on Kredyt Bank incorporation, we upgrade the stock as a result of convincing earnings growth due to synergy execution and macro improvement," Marcin Jablczynski, a Warsaw-based analyst at Deutsche Bank said in a research note today.
Deutsche Bank raised its recommendation for Zachodni from hold and increased its share-price estimate to 320 zloty from 270 zloty.

Good product 09/20/2013
This review is from: Acer F80-S01 Tripod Projection Screen
Seems solid, good size
None that I can think of
Other Thoughts:
Its about 30 pounds but has a carry handle which is nice. Its construction is a roll up screen supported by bars in a scissor setup in the back and collapses into a metal case that closes with latches.

Pragmatics and Grammar by Mira Ariel
Book DescriptionWhen using language, many aspects of our messages are left implicit in what we say. While grammar is responsible for what we express explicitly, pragmatics explains how we infer additional meanings. The problem is that it is not always a trivial matter to decide which of the meanings conveyed is explicit (grammatical) and which implicit (pragmatic). Pragmatics and Grammar lays out a methodology for students and scholars to distinguish between the two. It explains how and why grammar and pragmatics combine together in natural discourse, and how pragmatic uses become grammatical in time.

I came across The Devil Notebooks by Laurence A. Rickels and was intrigued with the idea of examining the place of the devil in our culture, especially contemporary pop culture. I knew with Rickels' background as professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of California, the book would draw heavily on critical theory, but also hoped the sheer charisma of the title character would make the narrative a lively read.
Unfortunately, for the most part, that doesn't happen, not due to a lacklustre history of the Prince of Darkness, but rather to Rickels' tendency to emphasize his semiotic approach by making his writing unnecessarily convoluted and opaque. The average reader will find this book rather tough going, despite the author's obvious knowledge of his subject.
Rickels' title is a riff on Church of Satan founder Anton Lavey's 1992 observations on the place of the devil, called The Devil's Notebook. Rickels' take on the subject draws on Freud, Nietzsche, Foucault , pop culture, and Rickels' own class on Satan to argue that the devil is "something literal, something projected: that's what Devil fictions are made of." The devil stands for the primal father, and a pact made with him grants "a certain deadline and, in exchange, a finite quantity of time, time unhaunted by missing persons." In other words (and Rickels does love alternate uses of language), the devil's left hand rule is a threat to and a way to rise above the right hand rule of the oppression of self based on guilt.
Rickels argues his point by drawing on actual news stories and depictions of the devil (primarily in film but also drawing on folklore, music, theatre and literature) and interpreting them through various lines of philosophical thought (Freud plays a large role, as does semiotics, particularly in terms of interpretation of "the other"). The exploration is thorough and can be an interesting read — Aleister Crowley is a fascinating case to dissect — but the references to films and news stories are so numerous and the language used to analyze them so self-consciously convoluted, the book read too much like a text book to hold my interest, and I have a background in literary criticism. Even so, I felt I needed to bone up considerably in that area to really get to grips with Rickels, and I wasn't inspired to do so.
It's a shame, because clearly Rickels knows his stuff. I did come away from The Devil Notebooks thinking that Rickels' class on Satan would be well worth taking.Powered by Sidelines

On April 10, 2014, the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued one revised and two new compliance and disclosure interpretations ("C&DIs") regarding crowdfunding and Rule 147 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), which are summarized below. Section 3(a)(11) of the Securities Act ("Section 3(a)(11)") provides an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for any security which is a part of an issue offered and sold only to persons who reside in a single state or territory, where the issuer of such security is a person resident and doing business within or, if a corporation, incorporated by and doing business within, such state or territory. Rule 147 under the Securities Act ("Rule 147") provides a safe harbor for offerings conducted pursuant to Section 3(a)(11), which requires that the issuer must be a resident of, and doing business in, the same state in which all offers and sales are made, and the offering may not be offered or sold to non-residents.
Rule 147 does not prohibit general advertising or general solicitation (Question 141.03)
While this revised CD&I did not change substantively, the SEC Staff reiterated that Rule 147 does not prohibit general advertising or general solicitation. However, any general advertising or general solicitation must be conducted in a manner consistent with the requirement that offers made in reliance on the intrastate exemption under Section 3(a)(11) and Rule 147 be made only to persons resident in the state or territory of which the issuer is a resident.
Use of a third-party internet portal to promote an intrastate offering does not preclude reliance on Rule 147 (Question 141.04)
This CD&I notes that an issuer claiming an exemption under Rule 147 may use a third-party internet portal to promote an offering to residents of a single state in accordance with a state statute or regulation intended to enable crowdfunding within that state if the portal implements measures to ensure that offers of securities are made only to persons resident in the relevant state or territory. These measures must include, at a minimum:
An issuer's use of its own website or social media presence to offer securities would likely involve offers to residents outside the state, making the offering inconsistent with Rule 147 (Question 141.05)
This C&DI notes that issuers generally use their websites and social media presence to communicate in a broad and indiscriminate manner. Therefore, although the specific facts and circumstances would determine whether a particular communication is an offer of securities, using an established internet presence to issue information about specific investment opportunities would likely involve offers to residents outside the state in which the issuer does business.

- The Secret Of An Outside Director's Success
- Window-dressing. Skeptics argue that managers might appoint allies who, while technically independent, won't improve the board's performance at all.
- Entrenchment. Proponents of this view assume that managers who cannot get around regulations will appoint outside directors, and improve board performance as its independence grows.
- Optimization. Those who take this position argue that managers play off the inherent weaknesses and strengths of inside and outside directors—and that an artificial push for outside directors weakens the board's general effectiveness.
Corporate reformers love the idea of an outsider-dominated board of directors—and have legislation like the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to back them up. "Because outside directors are independent from management, they are believed to be willing to stand up to the CEO to protect shareholder interests," explain researchers including USC's John G. Matsusaka and Oguzhan Ozbas.
But does the value of outside impartiality outweigh a lack of insider knowledge? Working in partnership with former Marshall PhD student Ran Duchin (now an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan), Matsusaka and Ozbas set out to determine if independence matters for boards, and—beyond that—when it is likely to matter.
Three views of board regulations informed the team's research:
But Duchin, Matsusaka and Ozbas discovered the success or failure of an outsider-dominated board actually hinged on a single variable. "Our main finding is that outside directors do appear to have a material effect on performance," they say, "but the direction of the effect depends on how costly it is for those directors to become informed about the firm. Consistent with recent theoretical research, we find that outside directors are associated with significantly better performance when their cost of acquiring information is low, and are associated with significantly worse performance when their cost of acquiring information is high."
The Bottom Line: An outside director might actually hurt a board's performance if the acquisition of corporate knowledge comes at a high price.
John G. Matsusaka and Oguzhan Ozbas are professors of Finance and Business Economics in the USC Marshall School of Business.

Though Turkish cuisine is a fusion of Turk, Arabic, Persian, Central Asian and Greek cuisines, there are also many regional differences in Turkey's cooking, from the Black Sea's corn and fish to the eastern region's mezes and kebabs.
The Turkish people are descendants of nomadic tribes, who began moving westward from the semi-deserts of Mongolia and central Asia in the 6th century. Primarily herdsmen, they lived off their flocks and available vegetation. Throughout the slow advance across the continent, they acquired new food practices as they entered the cultural sphere of other kingdoms. Their developing cuisine was influenced by those of China and Persia and, when they arrived in Anatolia, by the Greeks.
Of the many Turkish states known to history, two made major advancements in developing the cuisine. From the 11th to 13th centuries, the Selcuk Turks dominated much of Anatolia, the vast steppe of Turkey between the Black & Mediterranean Seas. Two centuries later, the Ottomans ruled from Istanbul a vast territory of conquered lands in addition to Anatolia. Both had an enormous influence on the cuisine. Their reigns & food habits were richly entwined with the practices of Islam, the religion they had encountered in Persia and ultimately embraced.
Turks eat a light breakfast, typically some white sheep's cheese, olives and bread with butter and jelly, and tea. Served 7-10 am, it often is fancier at tourist hotels—fruits in season, fruit juices, cheeses, several varieties of olives, homemade yogurt, breads and rolls, cereals, cakes, eggs and cold cuts.
Lunch is served from about 12-2 pm. Dinner, the main meal, is served about 7-9 pm, even later in metropolitan areas.
