"If they are any discrepancies, we want to make sure that if there are individuals in need that we supply as much support as possible,"
Related quotes
"When we see a possible discrepancy, we need to investigate to make sure the taxpayers are not paying for something that simply doesn't exist. It's our responsibility to investigate that discrepancy. It's our responsibility to the people, really."
"If we divine a discrepancy between a man's words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted."
"There have been so many discrepancies so far that it's hard to know what to believe. There are too many murky details."
"When you looked at the deduction versus the cars being donated, there was a discrepancy. There were some real concerns and compliance issues. There were situations where people were being told they could deduct the Blue Book value, period."
"Although boomers are clearly and profoundly involved in every aspect of their parents' care, these discrepancies in perceptions between boomers and elders point to the complexities of the caregiver role."

To buy a ticket for a hotly tipped play, within seconds of booking opening, requires perseverance and nerve as websites falter, payments vanish and a confirmation finally limps through. The goal is to see a top cast, whose fluency and fluidity is testament to years of determination – getting to drama school, being noticed at the end-of-year shows, getting an audition, getting a part and nailing it.
Curious, then, that having made it into the best show in town, on the stage or in the auditorium, what we all really, really want to do is go home again. But there is an increasing trend for plays to run without an interval and it is heaven on earth for players and patrons alike.
Directors and playwrights like straight-through plays for artistic reasons. Audiences like them because they are spared the unappetising choice between 20 minutes' silent contemplation of the stucco, or shuffling to the bar for a drink they do not want at a price that cannot be justified, except as a theatre-restoration levy. What's more, those with trains to catch can get moving earlier.
And the actors? It's a rare night when the front-runners are not through the stage door before the first theatregoer has ventured into the night. (Hearing the cast discuss the performance's disasters as you trot behind adds an extra dimension to the evening's entertainment.)
Of the most memorable productions recently, several gained forcibly by going from first to last page without respite: the Almeida's Ghosts, now transferred to the Trafalgar Studios, Lesley Manville's incomparable Mrs Alving (right) spinning relentlessly towards a mother's worst fear; The Scottsboro Boys, at the Young Vic, transforming seamlessly from feelgood vaudeville to tragedy; and Blurred Lines in the Shed at the National Theatre, in which the sheer accumulation of injustices against women constitutes a shocking and maddening whole.
Some plays need a break, as the two-hour first half of the National's new King Lear vividly demonstrates. But it's a rare work that improves for stopping and starting.
My only regret, if this excellent trend continues, will be the loss of surreal exchanges such as this one at the interval of a West End performance of Michael Frayn's Copenhagen, his 1998 play about nuclear arms: "Tomato juice, please." "We're out of tomato juice." "Really?" "Yes. We get through a lot of tomato juice on this show."

I've seen all of the Munster episodes you starred in.
You were a talented actor an so was Fred Gwynne.
I even saw you star in the 1995 Munster movie in a cameo.
You did a great job as Grandpa forty years ago.
Now you're in Heaven and you deserve that reward.
You're in peace and you'll make a great companion for the Lord.
I first saw you in the Munsters in the late seventies.
It's a darn shame that you had to leave.
You were a great actor and you had many fans.
We will miss you because you were a great man.

So Fig. 8 is out in the wild and we're pretty pleased with the response so far. I went ahead and confirmed with our sponsor, YoArcade that we could be transparent with the deal. This is a true story but names have been changed [except YoArcade] to protect the innocent.
- July 10th – Wrapped up most of the production and put up 90% version on FGL
- July 12th – Made an update to 98% completion on FGL and sent out form email to sponsors announcing Fig. 8 on FGL
- July 15th – $1000 bid by "Jeff Interactive"
- July 15th – $1000 bid by YoArcade [with $500 bonus for 4.0+ rating on Kong and NG after one month]
- July 19th – Game goes to 100% "finalized" on FGL
- July 19th – Massive form email to sponsors mentioning updates to the game
- July 22nd – Directly emailed three different sponsors with creative sponsorship opportunities
- July 23rd – Emailed/bugged FGL admins to put Fig. 8 on their Editor's Spotlight
- July 27th – Fig. 8 Trailer released and put up on FGL trailers page
- July 28th – Trailer picked up by IndieGames Blog, Offworld, GameSetWatch and other press
- July 29th – $1250 bid by "Oscar Games"
- July 30th – $1400 bid by YoArcade [with $200 bonus for 3.8+ and $300 for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $2000 bid by "Sarah Entertainment" [with $250 bonus for 3.8+ and $500 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $2100 bid by YoArcade [with $350 bonus for 3.8+ and $550 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $2500 bid by "Sarah Entertainment" [with $500 bonus for 3.8+ and $1000 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $2600 bid by YoArcade [with $650 bonus for 3.8+ and $1050 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $3000 bid by "Sarah Entertainment" [with $500 bonus for 3.8+ and $1000 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $3200 bid by YoArcade [with $700 bonus for 3.8+ and $1100 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $3600 bid by "Sarah Entertainment" [with $500 bonus for 3.8+ and $1000 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 1st – $3700 bid by YoArcade [with $850 bonus for 3.8+ and $1250 bonus for 4.0+]
- August 3rd – Minor tweaks to music and other bug fixes. Game now "really" 100%
- August 4th – $2750 bid by "Sarah Entertainment" [with bonuses for so many million plays*]
- August 10th – Emailed a few more sponsors directly requesting they consider Fig. 8.
- August 16th – YoArcade's bid of $3700 accepted.
As you can see from the bidding breakdown, the trailer and press for the trailer might have made all the difference. While we continued to tweak the game throughout this process nothing seemed to turn sponsors attention as seeing the game in action and on a few well-known gaming websites. It's hard to say what exactly tipped them off about it since it could have been the comments from readers/viewers, the trailer itself or even just getting a blog post out there into the ether. Nonetheless this strategy worked really well for Fig. 8 as I think it was a kick-in-the-pants to sponsors working them into a bit of a frenzy with the buzz.
I hoped to instill this feeling:
Sponsor X
"Oh no, now everyone knows about Fig. 8 and they're going to go after it."
It's the kind of feeling you get when you're sitting on a secret and you're just hoping that eBay auction goes through and doesn't get noticed. You want the auction item to get as buried as possible. So the trailer effectively brought it to the surface so everyone would see it. If sponsors never see your game, how can they bid on it? It's one thing to send an email and let everyone know about it, but it's quite another when each individual sponsor knows that every other sponsor is aware of it as well.
*Bonus included $1000 for 2.5 million plays after 5 months, $2000 for 4 million plays, $3000 for 5m, $4000 for 6m and $5000 for 7m.

Now this will be interesting.... (clicking links now!!!)
The distortion graphs do not look very good (>1%), and are apparently the same for both. But HeadRoom graphs are often unreliable.
Indeed, the THD definitely seems a bit overly energized for some tastes around here at HeadRoom, but our in-house testers who typically lean towards preferring an "analytical" presentation found these to be very well-detailed and engaging. Via some of our hot-rodded tube amp rigs, the SRH1840 sounded particularly galvanizing to a good portion of our team.
HeadRoom headphone specs come directly from Tyll Hertsens/InnerFidelity (our original HeadRoom Founder/CEO) who contracts with us to provide independent testing. His measurements are always rock solid.
HeadRoom VP
Hello John In Cali,
Many thanks! .... Well, i know both Tyll and ourselves are intent on re-working our respective platforms in order to be able to offer waterfall mapping and the like but frankly i'm not sure how close either of us are to that goal. Purrin does indeed do some mighty fine work himself!

A San Francisco judge has given 68-year-old Ricardo Asturias 16 years and 8 months in state prison for sexually abusing a 4-year-old female relative, as well as possessing child pornography.
In addition, the judge ordered Asturias to pay $625,000 in restitution for "non-economic damages," marking the first time in San Francisco where non-economic damages were awarded since the 1996 when the penal code was altered to allow restitution awards in felony child-molestation cases. Non-economic damages are defined as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and injury to reputation and humiliation.
"While this unprecedented sentence does not take away the years of abuse the victim endured, we hope it sends a powerful message that San Francisco will punish those who abuse vulnerable children." said District Attorney George Gascón.
From Jan. 1, 2008, through Oct. 8, 2010, Asturias, who was a relative of the family, sexually abused the victim repeatedly. At the time the sexual abuse began, the victim was 4 years old. On October 2, 2010, the victim informed her mother of the repeated sexual abuse, according to court testimony.
The girl's mother reported the incidents to the cops, and on Oct. 19, 2010, through a search warrant, the SFPD obtained Asturias' computers. On the computers, police found 934 images of child pornography on the Internet cache. During the trial, the victim testified against Asturias. In addition, two of Asturias' children testified, detailing sexual abuse they endured from Asturias more than 30 years ago, according to prosecutors.
On Oct. 23, a San Francisco jury found Asturias guilty of one felony count of continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and one felony count of possessing child pornography. He was sentenced on Dec. 17. Upon release, he will be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Analyzing the Position
The objective of introspective investigation is to discover what skills and competencies are necessary for successful performance of the job. When you've identified these skills and competencies, organize them into the following categories: technical competencies, functional skills, self-management skills, interpersonal skills, and requirements of the corporate culture.
Technical Competencies
Technical competencies include any certifications, degrees, licenses, experience, and so on required to do the job. For example, an accountant position may require a degree in business as well as certification by a recognized board of accountancy. The job of personnel manager may require a human resources degree and experience in union/ management affairs. Technical competencies are sometimes prescribed by law (as in the case of physicians, nurses, psychologists, teachers, lawyers, and so on).
What technical competencies, if any, are required to perform the job?
Functional Skills
Functional skills are skills that help people function effectively on the job. To help identify functional skills, complete this sentence: "The primary responsibilities of the job include _____, _____, _____, and _____." List each functional skill that is required to do the job.
Here are some examples of common functional skills:
The functional skills required for success in a typical organization vary widely depending on the job. For example, to be successful, a sales associate position may require someone with above average communication skills (both written and verbal) as well as highly developed time-management skills.
Functional skills are skills that can be learned. In fact, the acquisition of functional skills is usually an important goal of ongoing corporate training programs and postgraduate continuing education. Functional skills are also transferable. Transferable means that an individual who has demonstrated specific functional skills in other employment or life situations can apply the same skills to the challenges of a new situation.
What functional skills distinguish top performers in the position under consideration? Remember to list them all, regardless of the degree of importance.

Year 2000 Computing Crisis:
Readiness of State Automated Systems to Support Federal Welfare Programs
AIMD-99-28: Published: Nov 6, 1998. Publicly Released: Nov 6, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6253
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the year 2000 status of the state and local automated systems used in federal welfare programs, focusing on: (1) the reported status of systems used in Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children, food stamps, child support enforcement, child care, and child welfare programs, and the potential consequences of not modifying these systems in time for the year 2000 change; (2) year 2000 guidance provided by federal agencies to the states; and (3) any year 2000 oversight and monitoring activities that the federal agencies have performed.
GAO noted that: (1) the states reported that they were using 421 automated systems to manage the seven federal welfare programs in GAO's survey; (2) several states reported that they use more than one system to support a program; (3) while many states do not require year 2000 costs to be accounted for separately, states provided estimates totalling about $545 million during fiscal years (FY) 1997 through 2001 for completing year 2000 conversion of their welfare information systems; (4) failure to complete year 2000 conversion could result in billions of dollars in benefits payments not being delivered; (5) potential problems states cited were that: (a) new recipients could not be added to the recipient file; (b) eligibility for new applicants could not be determined; (c) recipients could be denied benefits; (d) payments could be underpaid or overpaid; and (e) payments could be delayed; (6) about one-third of the state welfare systems are reported to be compliant; (7) the compliance rate ranged from only 16 percent of the Medicaid systems to about half of the child care and child welfare systems; (8) states reported that they had completed the assessment phase for about 80 percent of the welfare systems supporting the seven programs; (9) according to the Office of Management and Budget guidelines, systems renovation work should have been completed by September 1998, however, as of the July/August 1998 response dates, states reported having completed renovation on only about one-third of the systems; (10) of those states that had not completed this phase, many systems were no more than one quarter complete; (11) 18 states reported that they had completed renovating one quarter or fewer of their Medicaid claims processing systems; (12) these 18 states had Medicaid expenditures of about $40 billion, one quarter of total Medicaid expenditures, for about 9.5 million recipients in FY 1997; (13) about one quarter of the systems were reported as having completed the validation and implementation phases; (14) states said that they had not developed test plans for about 27 percent of the systems; (15) 80 percent of states noted that routine systems development and maintenance activities and other changes have been delayed because of the year 2000 compliance efforts; (16) states cited the Department of Agriculture and the Health Care Financing Administration as providing the most guidance and oversight; and (17) the top category of desired additional support mentioned by the states was funding.

Hasn't everyone? I hear you cry. Yes, but this one should hit the jackpot, as it is set in a place that everyone knows and where every section of society meets, and yet which has never ever been the setting for drama.
Where else but - the motorway service area!
Here is an extract from the opening episode of what I hope will be my long-awaited smash hit TV comedy: Welcome to Pork Scratchings...
The scene is in the offices on the Northbound side of the Pork Scratchings Service Area on the M99. The manager, Mr Stainley, has sent for Judy, the manageress of Lucy's Larder, the health food part of the service area, to introduce her to her new recruit, Toby.
Mr Stainley: Ah, Judy. How's everything in Lucy's Larder?
Judy: Fresh. Organic. Tasty. Fabulous.
Stainley: Is it really?
Judy: No. But that's what we tell people.
Stainley: Good, good! Now, Judy, this is our new recruit, Toby. He's replacing Willy. Can you show him the ropes?
Toby: Sir? Mr Stainley?
Stainley: Yes, Toby?
Toby: Can I ask you a question?
Stainley: Of course, lad! Intelligence is what we look for in employees at the Pork Scratchings Service Area! We never find it, but that's what we look for!
Toby: Well, Mr Stainley, what happened to Willy my predecessor? Why did he leave?
Stainley: He got food poisoning.
Toby: Food poisoning? Here?
Stainley: Yes, I'm afraid so. He bought a burger from the southbound side burger bar. I had warned him never to venture over the other side, but he wouldn't listen. Now Judy ...
Judy: Yes, sir ?
Stainley (in an urgent whisper): Oh, Judy, when can I take you out for a date again?
Judy: Never, after what happened last time. I still can't believe that your idea of a night out was to drive me 200 miles up the M, give me an all-day breakfast at Charnock Richard and drive me all the way back again!
Cue for cackling audience laughter. Cut to the shop on the northbound side, where the till is being manned by bossy, camp comic character Herbert. A customer enters the shop.
Customer: Excuse me, I don't know if you can help me ...
Herbert: Well, I can in principle, but it depends on the small print of your request.
Customer: Pardon?
Herbert: I mean, what do you want?
Customer: Oh. Well, I'm trying to use the phone out there to phone home and tell my wife I'm late, but it's so close to the video games arcade that I can't hear a word my wife is saying. Herbert: I think you'll find she's saying: "What's that horrible noise in the background ? I can't hear a word you're saying!" Customer: So there are no other phones in a quieter place?
Herbert: No. Telephones are only ever put in two places at service areas. One is outside where it's so cold or so wet that people don't make long calls and form queues. The other is inside by the video game section, where it's so noisy that people don't make long calls and form queues.
Customer: So what's the answer?
Just then, an RAC recruiting man wanders past holding a placard saying, "The End Of The World Is Nigh, So Join The RAC now!" He is talking on a mobile phone.
Herbert: There's your answer!
Customer: What - join the RAC ?
Herbert: No, you silly cow - get a mobile phone. You don't want to go joining the RAC.
Customer: Why not ?
Herbert: It would give him a heart attack.
Cut to self-service section of cafeteria, where Tracey, the cheeky serving girl, is at the breakfast counter. A lorry driver approaches with his tray.
Tracey: What do you want, sir?
Lorry driver: Full breakfast, please.
Tracey: How do you like your eggs ?
Lorry driver: I like them lightly fried two hours ago, left standing around to acquire a soft patina of dust and grease, then reheated to go slightly hard and varnished on the outside.
Tracey: You're in luck. That's the only sort we've got.
And so on, for another half-hour of relentless back-chat. Coming soon, the episode where the Gents Toilet breaks down for an hour and causes chaos, where Tracey becomes convinced that the newly arrived customer is Egon Ronay, and where someone actually joins the RAC and the RAC man does have a heart attack.

Artificial Intelligence
"maddog" ponders the rise of intelligent machines.
Recently, I read that Stephen Hawking, the world-famous physicist, had warned people that artificial intelligence (AI) could be very useful or could be the worst thing that ever happened to mankind. The article, which included Hawking's comments, went on to discuss the many things AI could do for us – from analyzing and extracting information from the Internet, to making quick judgments in deploying and firing military weapons, to taking over the world.
In the comments section of the article were people who either agreed with Stephen Hawking or (much more often) brushed off his comments by saying "who would create such a thing" or "only a supreme being could create something which is truly intelligent."
Those of you who have been reading my work for a while know that I am a great fan of Dr. Alan Turing, and those who know of Dr. Turing's work also know that his interest in computers stemmed largely from the desire to know how the human mind worked and the desire to create a machine that could think like a human. Dr. Turing's "test" for what constitutes artificial intelligence is still used today, 60 years after his death.
Dr. Turing also believed that if a complex problem could be solved by a digital computer, then the simplest digital computer meeting certain criteria could solve the problems that the most complex digital computer could solve, given enough time and memory. This concept was embodied in his Turing Machine.
The human mind is made up of 33-86 billion neurons and trillions of synaptic connections, with each synapse being only 20-40 nanometers wide. Each neuron may have hundreds to thousands of synapses allowing communication (both chemical and electrical) between the neurons.
Exactly how the human mind stores and fetches data, makes decisions, and controls the rest of the body still eludes us, but each day brings new discoveries that bring us closer to understanding how humans think.
For those who believe that a machine capable of AI will never be created, I would remind them that people once believed that man would never fly, that the world was flat, and that we would never be able to talk to machines in anything other than the ones and zeros of machine language.
I am also a great fan of science fiction, which blossomed during my early youth when authors like Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick (among many others) wrote about robots and "giant brains" that could (at first) only mimic human thought. The machines were sometimes purposefully limited by their makers who created "laws" for them to follow. Isaac Asimov's book I, Robot detailed four laws intended to control the robots and created stories that showed what happened when the laws were relaxed.
Often, these AI devices were connected to some type of unlimited power supply that could "never" be turned off (to keep enemies from turning off the power on the device), or the AI device itself built a power supply that could not be turned off. When that power supply was finished was typically the time that the AI device "went crazy" and tried to take over the world. This is why I often told my students that the person who created a computer that could not be unplugged was truly stupid.
Nevertheless, society marches forward with ideas like artificial intelligence and the "Internet of Things" without having the safeguards in place in case these things "go wrong." We need to have the policies in place as the technology moves forward, but often policy lags dramatically.
Even if AI creations do not want to take over the world, what does it mean when we turn off the power of an artificially created intelligence? Is it murder? Do the same rules of "computer ownership" apply when hundreds of thousands of computers are literally dropped in our backyard as part of the sensor network of "Internet of Things"? Should we be able to demand to see the source code for those things, to make sure they are not transmitting data other than what we have been told?
I am often told by users of GNU/Linux that they are not "technical" and therefore cannot contribute to the Free and Open Source Software cause. But, here is an area where philosophy and the humanities can contribute – to help technical people through the knothole of whether an organism that is not human flesh is "human," whether a being that is made of silicon flip-flops and wires can have the same rights as one made up of neurons and synapses, and where those rights end if they start to infringe on the rights of "real" humans.
Carpe Diem.

RESEARCH SUPPORT SUMMARY The sharing of strengths encouraged by the NIDA Program Project funding mechanism provides for greater opportunities and capabilities through the unification of a shared commitment to a central hypothetical question than would exist for any of the scientists involved individually. The main goal of the Administrative Core of this Proposal is to facilitate and support the unification and interaction of the scientists and administrative personnel working on the three Projects and two Cores of the Program Project Grant at The Rockefeller University and Yale University on this Proposal. The Administrative Core (AC) team have successfully supported the work of the researchers on this Program Project Grant for the last 14 years. Their combined expertise along with the flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of the researchers has led to the development of a proven set of methods for carrying out Specific Aims to aid the studies proposed. Through Aim I. the AC staff will facilitate coordination and communication between the Cores and Projects in the Proposal and data sharing. The AC staff will also oversee maintenance of the physical working space, supplies and equipment for the Cores and Projects 1 and 2 (Aim 11). The staff will also maintain the data and reports of the progress generated under this proposal and provide clerical support (Aim III). The AC staff will continue to utilize their expertise to integrate the various components and individuals of this Program Project Grant to ensure achievement of the goals of this application.
Administrative Core staff will utilize their combined organizational and administrative expertise to support the integration of the researchers and institutions involved in this Program Project Grant Proposal. They will facilitate the communication, maintenance and reporting requirements of the Proposal allowing the investigators to focus on the research.

Afghanistan could descend into civil war and corruption and drugs trading could continue to cause problems once coalition forces withdraw from the country in less than two years' time, a report from the Defence Select Committee warned today.
In its report the committee also said the Ministry of Defence and Foreign Office "painted a very positive picture of the transition" to the Afghan National Security Forces, but pointed out there were concerns over the capability of Afghan forces to fill the gap left once coalition forces withdraw at the end of 2014, particularly in terms of helicopters, close air support and logistics.
Given there are less than two years before the end of 2014, the committee called on the Government to set out how it sees its future role in Afghanistan.
There needs to be a contingency plan to deal with a breakdown in security as UK troops pull-out, including the possibility of an armed resistance to withdrawal, the group of MPs said.
And they conceded that some ground may have to be given in negotiations with the Taliban.
Conservative MP James Arbuthnot, the committee chair, said: "The UK and its international partners must show the Afghan people that they will abide by their obligations to continue to support them in their efforts."
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said that vision was of an Afghanistan that could "maintain its own security and never again be a safe haven for international terrorism.
"The fact that Afghan security forces are now leading on more than 80 per cent of all security operations across the country shows we are well on the way to achieving that aim," he said, adding that Britain had committed £70million to an international fund to sustain the Afghan security forces after 2014.

Neighborhood Traffic
[DRAFT] Permit Parking
Permit Parking
The City's Residential Parking Management Policy is intended to address the impacts of overflow parking generated from a multi-family development. Permit parking manages and regulates residential on-street parking
problems associated with high volume overflow parking. Although the City recognizes it is desirable to allow residents to park legally on any public street, it also acknowledges the inconvenience that long-term and repetitive parking has on the affected residents. The objective is to create equitable and fair usage of residential on-street parking areas.
A residential permit parking program must meet certain criteria before it becomes eligible to be considered for approval by City Council.
For example, overflow vehicles from a multi-family development must occupy 75% of the frontage on a single family residential street during any consecutive 6-hour period, and field reviews must demonstrate that 30 or more single family detached homes, or 1,000 feet of residential street frontage could be affected. The City evaluates an area for a Residential Permit Parking Program only once in a 24-month period. Review the
Permit Parking Policy (PDF)
for more information.
Temporary Permit Parking
To obtain a temporary parking permit for an eligible permit parking area, please complete an online application through
Permanent Permit Parking
To obtain a permanent parking permit for an eligible permit parking area, vehicles must be registered to a Lake Forest address within the parking restricted area. Permanent parking permits can be obtained through
or by visiting the Public Works Counter at City Hall. A copy of current DMV vehicle registration for each vehicle is required prior to the issuance of a permanent parking permit.

Dear Bill, Thanks for the quick attention to the edits I sent for Lillie (Snow) Glass. Don't know if you are related but here is what I am working on. She was first married to a man named Wright. Married 1905, marriage was over by 1909. When I find out more info. I will send it. She had a very tough life. Lost her first baby, then her son Myron Hortense Wright died when he was only 12. She worked as a waitress in a restaurant owned by William E. Glass. He married her and died 4 years later. She lived to be 87 or 88--what a trooper.
Thanks for your service also and for all you do on Find-A-Grave. Lily

For me, vegetarianism is easy. Not only do I like vegetables, I like meat-free food. Even before my journey into vegetable love, I regularly skipped meat, eating out and at home. Vegetable love doesn't come as easily to my husband, but he sticks to his principles all the same. Yet Joe and I had the luxury of deciding to go veg ourselves--Mir does not.
It's not that I intend to force my beliefs on Baby--I'm a strong believer in informed choice. But with vegetarian parents, it's unlikely he'll run into meat-centric meals anytime soon. Most babies are vegetarians for the first six months of life--those with lactose and other milk intolerance could be considered vegan. Solid foods enter the scene at between four and six months, starting with grains, fruits and vegetables. Pumpkin, sweet potato, avocado, and apple become the order of the day. Lentils and beans follow. Then, around eight months, stewed pureed meats become an option. As appetizing as pureed beef flank sounds, Baby will be giving it a miss.
Of course, it's common knowledge that growing up without meat stunts growth--according to some of our family, anyway. Phone calls are filled with tales of iron deficiency and lectures on the perils of a meat-free diet. "Give him some steak," suggests one uncle. "That'll build him up good." Build him up? At 7 months, my child is heavier than some 1 year olds, and at least as tall besides. If he gets any more built up, I won't be able to carry him down the stairs.
Much as I hate to admit it, our families are right--to some extent. Baby may not have the chompers for steak, but he will need protein. And much as I love a good tempeh stir fry or a tofu hotpot, they're not exactly baby-friendly. When I asked our pediatrician about protein and vegetarian baby foods, she looked at me askance. "You're Indian aren't you? There are millions of vegetarian Indian children and they're doing just fine." Colour me embarrassed. I mumbled something about having an omnivorous Scottish mother then hustled us out of there.
Once home, I pulled out my trusty Charmaine Solomon book. The doctor was right--page after page detailed baby-friendly recipes overflowing with protein. Baingan bharta (my personal favorite), mushroom saag, curried chickpeas, good old yellow dal were bursting with nutrition. But would they be too spicy? And would Baby really care for eggplant and chickpeas?
A few days later, I settled Mir in his booster seat and fired up the grill. We sang songs (Panch Chota Bandariya, my pigeon Hindi version of Five Little Monkeys, is a favourite); I cooked. Half an hour later, I gave Baby his first real taste of Indian food--a lightly spiced version of baigan bharta, sans yoghurt. Ever-hungry, he grabbed at the spoon, jamming it first into his chin, then into his mouth. Seconds passed; faces were pulled; the spoon was banged; food was swallowed. Trembling, I scooped up some more, waiting for a tantrum, expecting a torrent of spit up. Bang, bang, bang. Baby thumped his hands on the table, universal infant speak for "more".

Called GFG, the new company folds into one entity several e-commerce businesses that sell in emerging markets including Latin America and Russia.
Five is better as one. At least that's the idea behind Rocket Internet AG's announcement today that it will use its international footprint to create what it hopes will be a fashion e-commerce powerhouse.
Investment AB Kinnevik, an investment firm based in Stockholm, and Rocket Internet are combining five fashion e-commerce businesses to create a new global fashion e-commerce group that it will call GFG. The five companies are: Dafiti (Latin America), Jabong (India), Lamoda (Russia and former Soviet states such as Kazakhstan and Ukraine), Namshi (Middle East) and Zalora (South East Asia and Australia). Dafiti is No. 19 in the Latin America 500.
GFG will operate across the five continents with a focus on growth markets, covering 23 countries that together represent a $427-billion fashion market and a population of more than 2.5 billion, the companies say. GFG will sell international brands and local, ethnic-focused apparel and accessories in India, Indonesia and the Middle East. Together the five fashion sites are worth $3.5 billion Rocket and Kinnevik say.
"GFG will be focused on capturing the massive growth opportunity of fashion e-commerce in emerging markets," says Oliver Samwer, co-founder and CEO of Rocket. "Each of the business units will be able to build on the original Rocket platform and continue to leverage knowledge and expertise gained across 23 countries."
The five GFG companies have each been selling in their respective regions for two or three years and begun addressing the hurdles they have encountered to selling online. For example, in Russia, Lamoda created Lamoda Express to overcome poor infrastructure for delivery in the country. Combining all the online fashion merchants under one umbrella will help the companies source goods at more competitive prices, more quickly improve technology and attract and retain talent, Rocket and Kinnevik say.
As of June 30, GFG companies together had 4.6 million active customers and over 7,000 employees. For the first six months of 2014, GFG web sites attracted 353 million unique visitors, received 8.4 million orders and generated $564 in gross merchandise volume, the companies say. In 2013, GFG's revenues totaled $525.8 million.
GFG will operate in a variety of ways depending on the region, including owning and selling inventory and operating e-commerce marketplaces, the companies say. GFG in the future also will explore new categories including personal care items and will also focus on mobile commerce.
Rocket Internet AG, based in Berlin, has provided the funding and strategic direction for e-commerce projects spanning much of the globe since its launch seven years ago. Last year it raised $500 million to build e-commerce brands in emerging market where web penetration and online shopping is growing at a fast clip and where Rocket says there is prime potential for players to snap up major market share.
For example, web sales in Russia, where Lamoda is based, will grow from $12 billion in 2012 to $36 billion by 2015, says investment bank Morgan Stanley. E-commerce in Russia is also highly fragmented, with the top 10 players accounting for only about 20% of online sales, according to analysts. And, Russia has the largest online audience in Europe with 61.3 million web users, or 15% of Europe's total of 408.3 million, according to web measurement firm comScore Inc.
In Brazil, Latin America's largest economy, and where Dafiti is based, there remains plenty of room for growth. E-commerce in Brazil grew 21% to $15 billion in 2013 from $12.4 billion in 2012, according to Forrester Research Inc. Forrester Research projects that over the next five years Brazilian e-commerce will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 20.09% and reach annual online retail sales of $31.2 billion by 2017. In 2013, online retailing accounted for about 3.8%, or $12.82 billion, of total retail sales in Brazil of $335.07 billion. (The online sales figures are from Brazilian e-commerce and information technology research firm eBit; the total Brazilian retail sales are from research firm Euromonitor.)
Dafiti co-founder Malet Huffmann told Internet Retailer earlier this year that the retailer grew sales by around 100%, in 2013. Dafiti has raised more than $275 million from investors and now sells online in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. It also now markets more than 125,000 apparel, accessories and footwear items from more than 2,000 brands. In Brazil alone it sells more than 100,000 products across 900 brands and has 1,500 employees. Its e-commerce sites now attract 25 million unique visitors per month on average. The merchant operates its own logistics and fulfillment network and can deliver many packages the same day to major cities like São Paulo if ordered by noon, and the next day in most cases to more remote locations. It also accepts cash on delivery for online orders, which is a popular payment method in Colombia and Mexico, Huffmann says.
The five e-commerce companies in GFG have attracted more than $1.29 billion in funding from investors including Kinnevik, Access Industries, Summit Partners, Verlinvest, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Tengelmann and a number of other investors. With the new entity direct and indirect shareholders in the five companies will contribute their shares into a new Luxembourg-based entity. The three largest shareholders in GFG will be Kinnevik, Rocket and Access Industries, with 25.1%, 23.5% and 7.4% ownership, respectively.
GFG will keep all current founders and management teams intact for each company, with the exception of a few additional leadership roles designed to help GFG expand globally and grow under the GFG umbrella.

The Impact of Corporate Sustainability on Organizational Processes and Performance

Management Science, Volume 60, Issue 11, pp. 2835-2857, February 2014
We investigate the effect of a corporate culture of sustainability on multiple facets of corporate behavior and performance outcomes. Using a matched sample of 180 companies, we find that corporations that voluntarily adopted environmental and social policies many years ago – termed as High Sustainability companies – exhibit fundamentally different characteristics from a matched sample of firms that adopted almost none of these policies – termed as Low Sustainability companies. In particular, we find that the boards of directors of these companies are more likely to be responsible for sustainability and top executive incentives are more likely to be a function of sustainability metrics. Moreover, they are more likely to have organized procedures for stakeholder engagement, to be more long-term oriented, and to exhibit more measurement and disclosure of nonfinancial information. Finally, we provide evidence that High Sustainability companies significantly outperform their counterparts over the long-term, both in terms of stock market and accounting performance. The outperformance is stronger in sectors where the customers are individual consumers instead of companies, companies compete on the basis of brands and reputations, and products significantly depend upon extracting large amounts of natural resources.

Marine life on the move as oceans warm
A small tropical fish has been shown to use mirror-eyes on the side of its head to help see its prey in its dark deep-sea habitat - and is the subject of a paper published in the prestigious journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
It is only the second vertebrate known to have mirror vision and to be able to see a focused image by reflection rather than using a lens as most vertebrates (including humans) do. The fish is closely related to the first animal found to have such 'side-mirrors' although the mirrors in each fish are very different. Both fish also have conventional eyes, although they are on the top of their head and look upwards into the minimal sunlight filtering down, rather than forwards as in most animals. The fish use their mirror-eyes to see underneath and to either side.
The discovery of the mirror eyes of both fish was made by a team that included Adjunct Professor Julian Partridge of The University of Western Australia's School of Animal Biology. Professor Partridge, who is also in the University of Bristol's Vision Ecology Research Lab, is the lead author of today's paper.
The first, the brownsnout spookfish (Dolichopteryx longpipes) was described four years ago and the second, the glasshead barreleye fish (Rhynchohyalus natalensis), was collected last year. Their habitats can be as much as half a kilometre under the sea surface where many animals are bioluminescent and much of vision is to do with seeing dim flashes of blue light in an otherwise dark world.
Scientists are excited about the discovery because not only is it unexpected to find a vertebrate with mirror vision, it is even more remarkable to find two, with mirrors that are so different despite the fish belonging to the same family.
The barreleye fish's mirrors are made of layers of two transparent substances stacked in such a way that they become reflective. The substances are guanine and cytoplasm and together create a smooth silvery surface from which light bounces onto the retina. Focus depends on the shape of this surface.
The brownsnout spookfish's mirrors are made of the same substances but instead of being smooth, the surface is composed of angled reflective crystals that shine light onto the retina, and the arrangement of the plates allows the light to be focused.
In both fish, the mirrors extend the restricted visual field of their tubular eyes - and have ensured the animals' survival for more than 35 million years. Remarkably, the mirrors have evolved from different layers of retinal tissue in the two species; providing a similar solution by different mechanisms.
"This is a finding that not only shows the marvellous diversity of eye design, but also what an amazing and little-known place the deep-sea ocean is," Professor Partridge said.
