Tag Archives: Earth
I run this Walt Kelly Pogo cartoon every year. Despite the passage of time, it is as true now as it ever was. It shouldn't be. Garry and I remember the first Earth Day. How sure we were that everything would get better. We believed we could fix the world.
Forty-six years later, the earth should be cleaner. We should be saving the planet, not destroying more of it. But, reality bites. The earth is more endangered than ever.
Save the planet. Save something. Live greener. Use less stuff. Don't litter. Do what you can. Don't let the despoilers buy all our beautiful places and pave them. Say no to fracking. Say yes to fossil fuel alternatives.
Vote for smart people. Caring people. Vote for people who understand that climate change is real. That if we are not good shepherds for our earth, there will be no earth to shepherd.
Let's leave a green planet for the next generation and the ones thereafter.
For a history of this day, see "The History of Earth Day."
An interesting challenge because I've never done "dirt" as a subject and certainly not in black and white. Luckily, deep in the files of my 100,000 plus photographs, I found a few that seem to fit the parameters … and I've never even processed any of them before, so they are new. Well, new to being posted, at least!
When I looked out my window this afternoon, I saw something I haven't seen in many long weeks. Ground! I saw — clearly for the first time since January — the green steel cap of our septic system, plus a tiny bit of the earth which surrounds it. Not much on the face of it but I found it encouraging.
You have to take it in context. In conjunction with other omens and portents — a general lowering of snow levels compared to the height of fences and switching the clocks back to Daylight Savings Time (from which they should never have been moved) — I take it to mean spring is just around the corner.
Which corner? I'm looking, seeking. I know it's hiding somewhere nearby.
I believe the snow will melt (faith matters). The ground and mud will appear. I will come to know that mud well. All 16 paws of Our Gang will run in and out of the doggy door a thousand time every day. Each time they come back into the house, they will bring clumps of mud with them. My mop, my patience, and my back will be strained to its limits.
This too shall pass. Soon, there will be flowers. Weeds. Bugs. Ants. No matter. As long as the sun shines and it doesn't snow until next winter.
But — call this an existential question — why did the first appearance of the good earth have to be the lid of the septic tank?
If I Ruled the World
You've been given the superpower to change one law of nature. How do you use it?
Let me start by saying I do not want to rule the world. Not even a tiny corner of it. I get exhausted trying to manage our dogs, convince them to go out to do their business and not steal my socks.
So if you give me a superpower, I might use it to eliminate the human race. We were given custodianship of the earth and have failed horribly. We have poisoned the water and air, brutalized the earth itself. Slaughtered the wildlife, cut down forests, dammed rivers, polluted everything with our garbage.
We haven't been any better to each other than we've been to the animals we've driven to extinction or near-extinction. We've murdered each other with as little conscience as we've shown to the rest of earth's inhabitants. We've stolen the darkness, eliminated privacy, lost respect for each other and for life itself. As a species, I see little to recommend us.
If indeed God chose us to care for this world, we have utterly failed. We don't deserve another chance. We have shown ourselves unqualified to care for anything or anyone. Humans cannot be trusted.
See? I told you. Don't put me in charge. You won't like it at all.
It's really a simple solution, you know.
We may already have one somewhere. It probably needs a little refinement, but I think it would solve the Earth's problems. A bomb. A huge one.
Not neutron because that kills animals as well as people. Too much other destruction, too. We need a special people-eliminating bomb. After all the people are gone, Earth can recover and eventually, a new species will reign supreme. Hopefully the new masters of earth will show respect for Mother Earth and other creatures who share her bounty. A species which would allow the trees to grow, water to flow without damming or poisoning every stream. A species without the compulsion to dig up every mineral, pave every inch of ground, replace forests with cities belching soot, smoke and chemical fumes.
Earth needs a caretaker species. Not humans. We don't care. We think God gave us permission to ravage and destroy our home as well as every living thing on it. I don't remember any God — ours or anyone else's — saying anything of the sort. How did I miss such an important passage in someone's mythology? Why do I think that isn't what any God would want?
Short of wiping out the human race, how about our species display a little self-restraint? How about not pouring sewage and industrial poison into the rivers, filling the air with dirt? Tearing open the earth to get to fossil fuels on which we should not be depending? How about behaving like proper guests of Mother Earth? You know, not eating our own Mother? How about that?
Are we even capable of not destroying our own nest?

What with the NSA XBox and spying thing — and now the shut down and who know what else coming to get us, Year Zero gets more and more relevant … and hilarious. And right now, you can grab a Kindle copy for 99 cents from Del Rey via Amazon! If you have not read this gem — grab it now!
Truly one of the funniest, smartest pieces of science fiction in many years. I don't merely like this book. I really LOVE it!
When in 2012, Rob Reid wrote Year Zero, a science fiction novel about the music business and its impact on the universe, many people sat up and took notice. Who better to write about the Byzantine complexities of the music business than Rob Reid?
The author of Year Zero, Rob Reid does not have the kind of bio one would expect of a science fiction author. In fact, he was and is an entrepreneur and multi-millionaire, the kind of self-made multi millionaire who makes many of us realize what failures we are.
Born in New York City, raised in Darien, Connecticut, got his undergraduate degree at Stanford University in Arabic and International Relations. Earned an MBA from Harvard. In 1994 he moved to Silicon Valley where he managed Silicon Graphic's relations with Netscape. In 1999 he became a founding member of IGN Entertainment which went public in 2000. IGN was acquired by News Corp in 2005 for $650 million.
Reid was the sole founder of Listen.com for which he served as CEO and Executive Chairman. Listen.com launched Rhapsody, a music streaming service, the first legal service of its kind. Rhapsody was bought by RealNetworks in 2003 and Reid continued to serve as one of its vice president until MTV purchased it for $230 million.
Year Zero is one of the funniest, scariest, weirdest science fiction novels I've ever read — up there with Jasper Fforde and the great Douglas Adams and certainly the only book of its kind that includes footnotes. They are hilarious too.
The scary part of the novel is not the story but how it mirrors the realities of the music business. The music business is scary.
It turns out that Earth is the only planet in the universe that can create music worth listening to. It is not merely the best music in the universe. For all practical purpose, it is the only music. Other worlds have made something that had been called music … until the discovery of Earth's music. From the moment our music was heard by the highly advanced sentient cosmos, there was no turning back. The year of the discovery of Earth's music was Year Zero, the dawn of a new era for every planet in every galaxy everywhere. It also signaled the likely end of life on Earth unless some legal loophole could be found in our insanely punitive copyright laws.
If not, the combined amount of money owed to Earth's music corporations would be so monumental it would bankrupt the entire universe. Unable to pay the bill yet obligated by inter-galactic law to pay it, the easier choice would be to destroy Earth, eliminating the problem and de facto, canceling the debt.
Whether or not you will find the book as fascinating and funny as I did is probably a matter of what you find funny. No one knows the intricacies of law as it pertains to the music industry better than Rob Reid.
The humans are funny and oddly heroic, each in his or her own way. People rise to the occasion. The aliens are deliciously bizarre and some of them also rise … or fall … to the occasion. The combination of law and the ridiculousness of the situation is hilarious.
Although Year Zero is every bit as weird as any of Douglas Adams' books to which it has been compared, the strangeness of the story is based on facts of law. Douglas Adams created the Improbability Drive from his own imagination. Rob Reid only has to quote the actual laws — every bit as bizarre as anything you could imagine. That's scary.
I loved this book. I read it, read it again. Then I bought the audio book and listened to it twice more. I'll probably read it several more times.
There is no sequel. It's the only novel Rob Reid has written. Otherwise, he is the author of two non-fiction books: Architects of the Web about Silicon Valley, and Year One about life as a student at Harvard Business School.
This is a great book and I bet you'll love it too. Give it a read. If nothing else, you'll learn everything you never wanted to know about the music business!

Car Trouble? Here Is The Auto Repair Advice You Need
Having the potency of knowledge in your hands concerning auto repairs is nothing to consider lightly. They can arise at any given time, and so they can actually irritate and side track each of the events in your own life. However, together with the knowledge you're planning to read, you are going to now have the capacity to handle those situations significantly better.
Purchase motor oil on sale and then in discount stores and maintain 2 or 3 bottles inside the trunk of your own car. Look at the oil each and every time you fill your gas tank. In the event that your oil level is low, you can expect to save plenty of cash by having your own oil available as an alternative to purchasing it at the gas station for inflated prices.
Ask your friends and relations for guidance on a trust worthy auto body shop. It can be hard to find a shop that may not rip you off or produce low quality work. Seeking advice could help you save from lots of wasted money and time trying to accomplish it all by yourself.
Whenever you could require an auto repair, check around to ensure that you get the very best deal. Go to a minimum of three different repair shops to acquire a quote. If anyone charges a thing that is unrealistically low or high, you must seek another person for the job.
In case your car door and hatch locks usually become stiff, avoid breaking your key off from the lock by lubricating them periodically using a penetrating oil spray. You can utilize the plastic extender that accompany the spray can to offer oil for the interior of your locking mechanism. When you have misplaced this extender, just spray your key liberally and turn it from the stiff lock many times.
Ask a technician when they are A.S.E. certified before you accept to keep these things work on your vehicle. If they have this certification, this means they already have passed a written test and have worked in the marketplace for around two years. You will be aware that you are getting someone skilled by choosing someone using this type of.
Before you actually take your car or truck to a mechanic, try and assess what the problem is first. Being able to diagnose the trouble, although you may can't correct it, will help you from being fleeced by an unscrupulous mechanic. Should you bring your automobile to your shop, you are sure to spend a hefty fee.
Make sure your auto technician is capable of work towards your particular car. Motor vehicles are complex machines and each and every brand has unique characteristics. Some brands require special tools, parts, and procedures. Many standard auto technicians either lack these products or dont ask them to easily available. Without these materials, they can't fix your car.
Make sure you take this advice to heart when you continue along. Smile knowing you have what is required next time your car or truck decides to have a break. You can confidently say "no more" and work on the ideal solution. Remember to help keep learning more about vehicle repairs so that you stay current.

Remember my post about Old Navy's outerwear?
...and the yellow coat?
It's still so hot here, but I knew that I should snag this coat before it's no longer available!
I was worried because it's sold out online in my size.
I was near an Old Navy today and figured I'd stop in to see if one in my size was in stock.
There was one left!
This baby is now hanging sweetly in my closet.
Right where it belongs.
...along with this unique poncho!
I'm loving ponchos this Fall, but South Carolina hasn't had cool enough weather for me to wear one yet!
Maybe a nice cool front will come through Charleston...& decide to stay.
I haven't tried any of the store's other clothing, but if it's anything like the quality of the outerwear, then Old Navy really stepped up its game this Fall.
...my two cents,

Advertisement This vintage-1953 clip clearly explains what goes on within the shell of a torque converter and how physical forces combine to transfer motion, going from tinted liquids being sloshed around in transparent casings through serious lessons in fluid dynamics and vector addition. The production values are a bit dated — the government must have spent several hundred of your grandparents' tax dollars to prepare the exhibits, and we wonder how many readers under twenty-five have ever seen a pipe cleaner in real life — but the film's ability to get its educational points across as well as it does remains remarkable in this clutter-over-content age of PowerPoint and Quicktime.Reply65 repliesLeave a reply

If there was ever a question that distributors were covered under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), in 2012, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) made it emphatically clear that this class of entities in a company's sales chain would be treated that same as any other sales agent, reseller or any other entity which sells a US company's products outside the United States. While the terms agent, reseller and distributor have distinct definitions in the legal world, they no longer do for FCPA purposes.
The three enforcement actions which made clear that there were no distinctions between agents and distributors in 2012 were the Smith & Nephew, Inc., (S&N) Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) for criminal FCPA violations, the Oracle SEC Complaint for books and records violations and the Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) SEC Compliant for books and records violations. Each of these enforcement actions had different FCPA violations and they each revealed separate steps which a company should take to both prevent and detect FCPA violations in their company.
Smith & Nephew
On February 1, 2012, the DOJ announced that it entered into a DPA with Smith & Nephew, Inc., a medical equipment manufacturer, for violations of the FCPA. The violations revolved around Greek distributors of S&N who paid bribes to Greek doctors so that they would purchase and use S&N products. According to the Criminal Information, "S&N, certain of its executives, employees, and affiliates agreed to sell to [the] Greek Distributor at full list price, then pay the amount of the distributor discount – between 25 and 40 percent of the sales made by [the] Greek Distributor – to an off-shore shell company controlled by [the] Greek Distributor, in order to provide off-the-books funds for [the] Greek Distributor to pay cash incentives and other things of value to publicly-employed Greek HCPs to induce the purchase of S&N products, while concealing the payments." Additionally, S&N "falsely recorded or otherwise accounted for the payments to the shell companies on its books and records as 'marketing services' in order to conceal the true nature of the payments in the consolidated books and records of S&N and GmbH."
Oracle got into FCPA hot water because its Indian subsidiary directed its distributor to set up a separate slush fund of monies which could be, and were, used to pay monies to persons unknown. As specified in the SEC Compliant, "certain Oracle India employees created extra margins between the end user and distributor price and directed the distributors to hold the extra margin in side funds. Oracle India's employees made these margins large enough to ensure a side fund existed to pay third parties. "At the direction of the Oracle India employees, the distributor then made payments out of the side funds to third parties, purportedly for marketing and development expenses." The SEC Compliant noted that "about $2.2 million in funds were improperly "parked" with the Company's distributors." To compound this problem, employees of Oracle India concealed the existence of this side fund from Oracle in the US and hence there was an incorrect accounting in Oracle's books and records.
In Brazil, Lilly used the distributor model to market its drugs through third-party distributors who then resold these products to public and private entities. As noted by Matt Ellis, in his post entitled "Eli Lilly's Distributor in Brazil: The Non-Obvious FCPA Risk", the discounts that distributors typically receive from manufacturers such as Lilly can be problematic under the FCPA because "enforcement officials can see these discounts as potential "loose money" that can be used for bribe payments. This is especially the case when the distributor is engaging in other activities on behalf of the producer, like marketing, licensing, and customs clearance."
This was the situation that Lilly found itself in in Brazil, where Lilly sold drugs to distributors who then resold the products to both public and private entities. It was the classic distributor model where Lilly sold the drugs to the distributors at a discount and then the distributors would resell the products "at a higher price and then took their discount as compensation." There was a fairly standard discount given to the distributors which generally ranged "between 6.5% and 15%, with the majority of distributors in Brazil receiving a 10% discount."
However, in early 2007, at the request of a Lilly sales manager, the company awarded an unusually high discount of between 17% and 19% to a distributor for the sale of a Lilly drug to the government of one of the states of Brazil. The distributor used approximately 6% of this additional discount to create a fund to pay Brazilian government representatives to purchase the Lilly drugs from him. Further, the Lilly sales manager who requested this unusual discount was aware of the bribery scheme. Moreover, this increase in the discount was approved by the company with no further inquiry as to the reason for the request or to substantiate the basis for such an unusually high discount. If there were any internal controls they were not followed.
Prevention and Detection
These three separate bribery schemes call for three different but overlapping responses. In the case with Lilly, the SEC Complaint noted the following "Lilly-Brazil's pricing committee approved the discounts without further inquiry. The policies and procedures in place to flag unusual distributor discounts were deficient." Lastly, as stated by Ellis, "It noted that the company relied on representations of the sales and marketing manager without adequate verification and analysis of the surrounding circumstances of the transactions."
The Lilly enforcement action also makes clear the need for internal audit to follow up with ongoing monitoring and auditing. Internal audit can be used to help determine the reasonableness of a commission rate outside the accepted corporate norm. As noted by Jon Rydberg, of Orchid Advisors, in an article entitled "Eli Lilly's Remedial Efforts for FCPA Compliance – After the Fact", the company should be "implementing compliance monitoring and corporate auditing specifically tailored to anti-corruption" for the distributor sales model.
The Oracle enforcement action demonstrates that Oracle needed to institute the proper controls to prevent its employees at Oracle India from creating and misusing the parked funds in the distributor's account. The Company needed to audit and compare the distributor's margin against the end user price to ensure excess margins were not being built into the pricing structure. Oracle should have sought to either (1) seek transparency in its dealing with the distributor or (2) audit third party payments made by the distributors on Oracle's behalf, both of which would have enabled the Company to check that payments were made to appropriate recipients.
What are some of the factors that demonstrate the distributors used by S&N were fraudulent and did not have a legitimate business purpose? It was clear that S&N did not perform sufficient due diligence on these distributors nor did they document any. I would note that the distributor was domiciled in a location separate and apart, the UK, from the sole location it was designed to deliver products or services into, Greece. This clearly demonstrated that the entities were used for a purpose that the company wished to hide from Greek authorities. While it is true that a distributor might sell products into a country different than its domicile, if the products are going into a single country, this should have raised several Red Flags.
However, the biggest indicium of corruption was the amount of the commission paid. The traditional sales model for a distributor has been to purchase a product, take the title, and therefore the risk, and then sell it to an end user. Based upon this sales model, there has been a commission structure more generous than those usually accorded a reseller or sales agent, who is usually only a negotiator between the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the end user. This difference in taking title, and risk of loss, have led to a cost structure which has provided a deeper discount of pricing for distributors than commission rates paid to resellers or sales agents. The sales structure used by S&N had pricing discounts of between 26-40% off the list price. Further, this money was used precisely to pay bribes to Greek Doctors to use S&N products.
These three enforcement actions make clear that distributors will be treated like any other representative in the sales chain. This means that distributors need to go through the same rigorous due diligence and review, contracts and management going forward as agents or resellers.

Okay, so Carlito Olivero didn't win a million bucks. But for the Chicago singer, finishing third on "The X Factor" is just fine by him. He didn't have any expectations for his performance on the show (aside from getting past the audition rounds) so second runner-up is a-ok.
"All I ever wanted was to just get past that first round and get four yeses from the judges. When I did that I already felt accomplished," Olivero tells Zap2it backstage after the "X Factor" Season 3 finale. "As each and every round went by my mentality was 'Yo, at least I didn't get in the bottom two so I can perform again!' And then [when I was in the bottom I thought] ]I can make it through and I have a fighting chance.'"
Besides, some of the show's most successful acts finished third. "One Direction got Top 3. Fifth Harmony got Top 3. So many other great artists," Olivero says. "Chris Daughtry was fourth on 'American Idol.' There are so many people who have been on these types of shows that have blown up. To me, I'm walking away a winner, Yeah, I'm not walking away with a million dollars, which kind of sucks, but it's okay! It's all good. At the end of the day I'm walking away with so many supporters."
Olivero is excited for his future in the industry — and for the future of his fellow finalists. "I'm excited for the fan base that has been growing constantly. I'm excited for Alex and Sierra. I know that they are going to be getting married very soon," he jokes.
Seriously, though, he can't wait for their album. "I'm also excited for Jeff [Gutt]," he says. "That's my big bro. I'm proud of Restless Road. I'm proud of everybody that made it to the Top 16. Everybody keep supporting them and god willing each and every one of us will be on the charts very soon."

Ameed Taha
Fml - Poem by Ameed Taha
I hate everything
I hate my life, and everything about it
I hate everyone, that ever existed in it
I'm always invisible to them
Their hate to me grows by the minute
I hate my friends, that pretend to acknowledge me
As all they do is judge my outside, without looking at me
I hate the way they use me as a tool, as I fall for it like a fool
To them, a homeless stray dog, I'll always be
I hate how my family, rejects who I am.
As I stand there refusing to change for them
Always alone as they desert my personality
But, my personality, will always be my rhyme.
I just want to fade away, along with my soul
So I wouldn't hurt any of you, anymore
Death will make peace to you, and me
As I release you from the pain I give you, and you give me.

New Construction
Building New Plumbing From Scratch
Whether you are building a new home or commercial property, you will need to hire a plumber to assist you in making some decisions about your building's plumbing system as well as construct the systems. When building a home or office from scratch there are many factors to consider, and a professional plumbing contractor from Lasiter Plumbing is more than happy to discuss your needs with you.
With more options than ever, trusting a licensed plumber is now critically important. Finding the perfect plumbing fixtures isn't just about picking out the most aesthetically appealing faucets, shower heads and other equipment. You will need to put together a budget, consider the functional needs of your space and think about what design elements will complement your space.
For instance, if you are building a commercial property such as a restaurant, the strain placed on your plumbing will be much greater than building a home for a family of four. Generally, commercial properties will require much larger, more powerful and more durable plumbing appliances to meet the increased demand placed on them by the amount of people using them. You may even want to think about installing low-flow toilets in your commercial property to help save money on your utility bills every month.
Any plumber will tell you that the two most important aspects to ensuring that your plumbing maximizes its potentially efficiency and lifespan are a proper installation and regular maintenance. This makes it crucial for you to hire an experienced plumbing professional who can build your plumbing systems correctly. It's simple – plumbing fixtures that are installed incorrectly will be inefficient, likely drip water and be more vulnerable to failing prematurely. If you are constructing a new building, call Lasiter Plumbing to talk to a plumber in Fort Worth about your project. (817) 589-1678
