Employment continues to grow in the EU's information and communications technology (ICT) sector, with a 2% increase in the number of employees between 2011 and 2012 in 26 EU Member States (Ireland and Croatia are excluded for methodological reasons). The latest issue of the European Vacancy Monitor published by the European Commission highlights the importance of this sector as a source of jobs, including for younger workers. At the same time the report warns that the declining number of university and college students in the ICT field is likely to lead to future staff shortages in the sector.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Here's a quick look at No. 3 seed Marquette's 62-53 victory over No. 6 seed Murray State at the KFC Yum! Center.
Overview: The storyline going into this game was that these teams were mirror images of each other. That proved true and led to a highly entertaining game played at an express-lane pace, if a little ragged at times.
It was possible to cramp up just watching Marquette and Murray State trade possessions in transition over and over. Ultimately, Marquette pulled away late with excellent defense and a lack of marksmanship from the Racers, who made just 31.3 percent of their shots and went only 4-of-21 on 3-point tries.
But this was a street fight for 40 minutes, and Murray State vindicated its 31-2 season with two top-flight tournament performances, even if the Racers failed to make their first Sweet 16. Marquette, meanwhile, now has an advantageous path to the West Region final and is looking like a serious Final Four threat.
Turning point: Neither team could get much distance from the other most of the way, but Murray State looked like it had all the momentum when it used a 7-0 run to take a 46-41 lead, its biggest of the game, with less than eight minutes to play in the second half. The pro-Murray crowd, bolstered by Kentucky fans who were rooting for their fellow state school, was going nuts. After a pair of timeouts, though, Marquette regrouped and charged back with a 14-2 run of its own, which included a couple of big baskets inside by reserve big man Davante Gardner and lots of defensive stops. The run was aided by missed shots from Murray State star Isaiah Canaan, who suffered through a brutal 4-for-17 night.
Key player: Marquette's Jae Crowder had another huge night after putting up 25 points and 16 rebounds Thursday against BYU. Crowder struggled with his shot early but played great defense in the second half, and finished with 17 points and 13 rebounds.
Key stat: Canaan and Donte Poole, Murray State's top two scorers, were a combined 7-for-30 from the field.
Miscellany: Marquette advanced to the Sweet 16 for the second consecutive year. ... The Golden Eagles made a big play just before the half, as Darius Johnson-Odom picked up a loose ball in a crowd and laid it in just before the horn after a Murray State turnover. That cut the halftime deficit to 28-25. ... The Racers' Ed Daniel was all over the place and finished with 14 rebounds, but he was quiet late. ... Murray State players said they did extra work on free throws Friday in practice after bricking 13 of 26 attempts from the foul line in their victory over Colorado State. The practice paid off, as the Racers went 9-for-10 on free throws.
What's next: Marquette advances to play the winner of Sunday's game between Norfolk State and Florida. The Golden Eagles should be a heavy favorite over either one of those teams in that game, scheduled for Thursday in Phoenix.

King Supplements Presents: "The Best Ingredients to Induce Sleep"
King Supplements presents the article "The Best Ingredients to Induce Sleep" as a short guide to finding the right sleep supplement.
Sleep is perhaps the most critical aspect of a persons health, mood, energy, etc. We spend an incredible chunk of our lives asleep, and if you have problems with sleep; your life will slowly unravel. There are many reasons why sleeping problems occur such as stress, bad habits, working nights, drinking too much coffee, not getting enough exercise, and so on. The good news is that there are sleep inducing ingredients that may work for you. These are as follows:
Melatonin - Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone in our body. It regulates the circadian cycles (sleep and wake cycles). It can be ingested to induce sleep very effectively.
Chamomile - Throughout history, chamomile tea has been used to induce sleep. There are a few studies that indicate its effectiveness.
Valerian Root - This is another historical source of sleep treatment. It works over time, so it is generally taken every day for a short period to begin its effect.
Kava - The Kava plant is closely related to pepper and is known for relieving anxiety. Some studies have shown that it can be used as a sleep supplement as well.

On Quaternions(198 views)
Description: FIRST APPEARANCE of the first presentation of Hamilton's Quaternions, "a turning point in the development of mathematics" that "made possible the creation of the general theory of relativity" (Pickering; PMM). "The achievement in pure mathematics for which [Hamilton] is best remembered now is the invention of quaternions, a linear algebra of rotations in space of three dimensions. Quaternions were the first non-commutative number system system to be investigated in detail, and Hamilton's discovery that a consistent and useful system of algebra could be constructed without obeisanse to the commutative law of multiplication was comparable in importance to the invention of non-Euclidian geometry. Quaternions led to vector analysis, and were eventually superceded by the later, which has become of the greatest importance in mathematical physics and was developed by Ritman and Christoffel into tensor analysis. This made possible the creation of the general theory of relativity" (PMM 334). Hamilton's invention "was the first example of a coherent, significant mathematical system that preserved all of the laws of ordinary arithmetic, with the exception of commutativity... [His] ideas had an enormous influence on the gradual introduction and use of vectors in physics. Hamilton used the name scalar for the real part a of the quaternion, and the term vector for the imaginary part bi + cj + dk, and defined what are now known as the scalar (or dot) and vector (or cross) products. It was through successive work in the 19th century of the Britons Peter Guthrie Tait, James Clerk Maxwell, and Oliver Heaviside and the American Josiah Willard Gibbs that an autonomous theory of vectors was first established while developing on Hamilton's initial ideas" (Britannica). Recently, quaternions have found new life in the modeling of the three-dimensional rotations involved in modern computer graphics. "Hamilton's achievement in constructing quaternions is of considerable historical interest. It marked a turning point in the development of mathematics, involving as it did the introduction of noncommuting quantities into the subject matter of the field as well as an exemplary set of new entities and operations, the quaternion systerial agency, harnessing and directing that agency--domesticating it" (Andrew Pickering, "Concepts and the Mangle of Practice: Constructing Quaternions"). Hamilton first presented his remarkable invention of Quaternions in a lecture given at the Royal Irish Academy on November 13, 1843. Though Hamilton?s lecture is recorded in the Proceedings of the Academy for that date, his work on Quaternions did not appear in print until July of 1844 in the present volume. He later expanded and developed his invention in his more famous 1853 book Lectures on Quaternions (listed in PMM). In: The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine, vol.XXV, 3rd Series, no.163, 166 & 169. London: Richard and John E. Taylor, 1844. Octavo, early contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Some rubbing to spine and extremities. Internally fine.

Rating: R for strong sexuality, language, violence and some drug
In Baby Boy, writer/director John Singleton returns
after 10 years to the same Los Angeles setting of Boyz N the Hood,
with sometimes messy but always invigorating results. In fact, South Central
has started to do for Singleton what Baltimore has done for Diner's Barry
This is an easy movie to pick apart, but it lives, breathes
and switches moods from humor to despair better than any American release this
year. Singleton's casting also is exceptional (just as it was in Hood),
starting with model/R&B crooner/MTV VJ Tyrese Gibson as a 20-year-old who can't
motivate himself to cut the cord and leave home. And this is despite his having
fathered children by two different women. Singleton immediately sends a signal
that he's going to be tough on the central figure, who veers from being a sometimes
sympathetic character to a continuous source of exasperation.
Gibson's Jody character takes a stab at working, but the
women's clothing business he briefly entertains is half-baked, both in its choice
of apparel and marketing techniques. This leaves him sponging off not just his
mother (A.J. Johnson) but his preferred girlfriend (equally splendid Taraji
P. Henson), using her car when he's not reduced to commuting on a bicycle, one
of the movie's many unexpectedly hilarious takes.
At 36, Mom's a buff looker, even if the number of cigarettes
she consumes is alarming. In search of stability, she has a new live-in (Ving
Rhames) who has a yard-care business and a lunchbox to tote. But he's also a
reformed something-or-other whose previous line of work was obviously not too
savory. Rhames' intimidating stare battles it out with his equally notable biceps
to dominate the screen as his character dominates the digs.
Unamused, the new king of the household doesn't regard
this "boy" as any baby, though "petulant child" wouldn't be too far off the
mark. The characters are drawn with such warts-and-all depth that it's likely
many viewers will be switching emotional allegiances. This hasn't happened in
many films so far this year, and it's a virtue that compensates a lot for Baby's
overlength and tendency to reiterate points.
Singleton is an unflashy, even old-fashioned director in
the way he allows story and actors to carry the action. Everything you take
from this movie is in plain sight and usually straight down the middle; only
occasionally does there seem to be anything studied about it.
With Baby Boy, the filmmaker seems reinvigorated
with his material, his closest look at urban L.A. since his directorial debut.
Last year's Shaft was fun, but for the first time since Hood,
Singleton is really sailing.

Great constituent services, leadership on issues of national importance, honesty, ability to get things done.
Those are the things Newsmax says makes Illinois RINO congressman Adam Kinzinger the 6th most hardest working member of Congress.
This is an Onion joke right.
Like that time when someone wrote that he was one of the most popular members of Congress because he never faces any serious opposition since he primaried a great conservative Don Manzullo in 2012.
Newsmax says it talked to people who live in the 16th congressional district about Adam, apparently they only called former LaSalle county GOP party chairwoman Susan Thornton.
Any actual constituent that has ever had to deal with Kinzinger's staff on any issue will tell you hitting your head against a brick wall would be more productive.
Trying to sway the three term establishment, Boehner/Ryan yes man, is impossible. Flood his social media with messages of no amnesty and he still backs it just as hard as Luis Gutierrez does.
His issue leadership has revolved around aggressive military interventionism, amnesty, attacking Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, Rand Paul, and the House Freedom Caucus, not to mention conservative groups and organizations.
The things Adam Kinzinger has gotten done, or wants to get done, include mandating the size of airplane seats, defeating efforts to defund Obamacare, he has been really good at pissing off Trump supporters during his endless appearances on Fox and CNN, he got the blessing and support GOP leadership and became a favorite of Eric Cantor's the moment he got to DC.
Honesty, is the best policy, and lets all be honest, anyone who reads this blog, is a member of the Illinois Tea Party, or is a conservative in his district knows that he is a lying, back stabbing fraud.
This weasel con Sarah Palin, the Tea Party, and conservatives into backing him in 2010 because he promised endlessly that he was one of us and he was going to DC to repeal Obamacare and everything else that caused that Tea Party tsunami. The moment he got to DC he gave every last one of us the finger and has been a reliable attack dog for the GOPe ever since.
Kinzinger has attacked the Heritage Foundation(including just recently), He constantly bashed Ted Cruz and Rand Paul before Trump came along. He hates conservative talk radio. He hates the conservative groups who all give him extremely low marks, Conservative Review 36%.
The only thing Adam Kinzinger works hard at is getting his TV pretty mug on cable news and on the radio with friendly hosts.
And if you don't think that's enough to prove that this Newsmax list is a pile of garbage two of the people ahead of Kinzinger are Speaker Paul Ryan, and New York establishment blowhard Peter King.
Congratulations Newsmax you have beclowned yourself beautifully.

Of true evil, I'd had barely a peek
But this day would be an education
A full immersion in the fetid reek
The foul depths of his soul's violation.
Indescribable draining sensation,
It leveled its shoulder, knocked out my wind
Stop spinning room, dig deep, began again.
Although miles away we were from the crime
We felt the direct impact on our hearts
His trigger pulls pierced many souls each time,
Bodies punctured, shrouded, lives torn in parts.
Shock waves broke spirits, families apart.
It was his ghoulish realm made manifest,
Backwards kingdom of delusion, unrest.
United by our common urgency
The fair-skinned devil in our own backyard
Morphed into citywide emergency
A distress call radiated outward
The nation slowly turned its eyes southward
Our easiest, natural reaction
Find the inner sword, and gird for action
A loving deed, rare and touching to all
Warm, kindly neighbor from across the street
Taking her friend, the senator to call
Sweetness like yours, I would cherish to meet
Just not with your blood pouring on my feet.
Half whisper, half gasp, you told me your name
"Ma'am, we'll take good care of you." Heart aflame.
A still form on the gurney, lying there
Soul dangling on the thinnest thread of life
Crusted crimson stain in her ruffled hair
The same height, same build, same age as my wife
Eviscerate me, invisible knife
CAT scan on the screen revealed the damage
Twisted anatomy, bullet ravaged
Between heroism and everyday strides
A simple matter that we were prepared
The gulf, in reality, not so wide
The tools and skills we wielded, not so rare,
A thousand heroes happened to be there.
Yet together we formed a solid wall
Resolute warriors answered the call
But of heroism, one thing we did learn
Between appearance and reality
The public laurels that a few did earn
Oft unaligned with actuality
How image misconstrues causality
Media promulgated story lines
Have so many false agendas behind
The convenient plot lines of journalists
Tales of what has supposedly been
So little to do with real turns and twists
Tangential resemblance to the blue screen
The actual truth of all I have seen
Yet all the falsehood cannot steal the pride
The fated day's true heroes hold inside

*habebty: arabic for my love
*context: this year (2014) is the third anniversary since the egyptian revolution
Friday, he told me,
"Tomorrow will be a sad day."
"Why?" I asked.
"The anniversary of the revolution."
Of course.
When I had google searched "january news egpyt"
the day before to see if any new protests had occured to
block the streets and make him come home late,
the results still showed the carnage of three years ago.
There would be protests tomorrow.
I asked him if he was going to work.
I worried.
I wouldn't tell him
Not to go to the protest-
I knew I would have gone too-
Shouldn't I support what he believes?
But then I think
Bloodstains on streets
Littered with banners
Left abandoned
Tear gas
Like the departing souls
Of the martyrs of the revolution
Riot gear uniforms
Beat down protesters;
They've sworn to arrest
Anyone protesting today-
I pray.
I ask him where he is.
"I'm home, habebty."
He's decided not to go
Since he thinks it's wrong
To celebrate on a day
So many have died.
I breathe again.
Nearly 50 died that weekend.
I got to hear,
I'm home, habebty.

Supermarkets under the Spotlight
The holy grail for social and environmental campaigners is markets where companies try to compete against each other on ethics as well as price. In theory, in such circumstances, competition can operate to drive up standards.
With UK supermarkets being targeted by social and environmental groups for nearly 30 years now, we were beginning to glimpse evidence of such competition in the UK supermarket sector. Most often this was amongst the high performers, Co-op and M&S for example, with their announcements of wholly Fairtrade or animal welfare-friendly ranges.
Occasionally it has also surfaced amongst the bigger players with, for example, Sainsbury's famously advertising the higher ethics of its bananas during a dispute with Tesco over value. [1] Either way, successive reviews of UK supermarkets have revealed increasingly sophisticated management and reporting systems operating around social and environmental impacts.
Although Aldi and Lidl have been trading in the UK for more than ten years, over the last 18 months or so they have seen significant growth in market share, which has excited commentators into speculation about long term trends. Neither Aldi nor Lidl make much fuss over ethical claims and it is clear from other sectors – like clothing – how price competition can exert a downward pressure on ethics.
Does the rise of no-frills discounters signal a new recession-driven focus on price for British consumers, which leaves no room for distractions like ethics? Or will the need to compete with Aldi and Lidl force UK supermarkets to abandon what little ethical progress they have already made?
There are two main reasons why this analysis does not really stack up.
Although the big four supermarkets may have developed some eye-catching ethical initiatives, such as Sainsbury's all-Fairtrade bananas and Tesco's carbon labelling (now abandoned), they remain businesses with only a weak commitment to address their ethical impacts.
The 'horsemeat-sold-as-beef' scandal, which shone a light on the low cost supply chains of Aldi and Lidl, also engulfed Tesco and Asda. In the same way, the issue of slavery on prawn-industry supply ships, revealed in the Guardian this year, drew in not only Aldi but also Tesco, Morrisons and, to its shame, the Co-operative. [2]
What we see here is a global food system of such size, dynamism and complexity that attempts to maintain ethical standards are, at best, running to keep up. In the ranking of supermarkets above, Aldi and Lidl rank mid-table in a poor-scoring bunch, rather than noticeably behind.
It is widely accepted that Aldi and Lidl are growing because of their deep discounts and largely equivalent quality. Indeed, so low are their prices (in some instances 50% of mainstream competition) that it does not look possible to achieve this through stripping out ethics alone. Much is down to a simpler business model.
A smaller range of goods – often popular with consumers baffled by too much choice – makes supply chains simpler. Very few 'special offers', simple interiors and displays, little advertising, and few megastores all serve to reduce costs and to shake up a system which had become complacent and not that cheap. Indeed, although a visit to Aldi or Lidl in search of ethical products is a bit like how hunting out niche ethical products used to be in UK supermarkets in the 1990s, they are arguably not much worse than Asda or Morrisons in terms of their range.
They reportedly stock significantly more organic fruit and vegetables in Germany where demand is higher.
With some notable exceptions, the UK's food retail sector articulates its (imperfect) ethical policies probably better than anywhere else in the world. [3] This is largely down to a thriving civil society sector creating pressure on everything from HFCs in fridges to animal welfare.
Until recently, it was common for Aldi and Lidl not to feature in 'name and shame' rankings on ethical issues, simply because they were not significant players. This will change. Aldi and Lidl, with their penchant for private labels and little transparency about producers are likely to feel the heat soon.
Economists have been predicting the demise of what they see as a fad for ethics for the last 20 years. They have been consistently proved wrong. In this case, they need to get the recent growth of discounters in perspective. Aldi and Lidl's combined market share (8.3%) is still well below that of the top ethical performers (the Co-op and Waitrose total 11.5%).
It is far more likely that, to take a serious market share in the UK, Aldi and Lidl will need to learn that certain standards around ethics are a prerequisite for attracting large numbers of particularly critical consumers. In addition, if the more ethical supermarkets decide to join in this public discourse about the ethics of discounters, then competition as well as campaigning can add to the aggregate pressure for change.
Ethical Consumer asks the views of leading ethical certification bodies
Louise Valducci, Fairtrade Foundation
"Aldi and Lidl have both been operating in the UK for more than two decades, but over the last five years their rise has been rapid. Low prices are undoubtedly a key factor.
Yet research suggests UK shoppers care about more than price. A recent Department for Business, Innovation and Skills survey found that retailers' ethical standards matter 'a great deal' or 'a fair amount' to half of all UK shoppers. [5] The Fairtrade Foundation have found that 84% of shoppers would pay more for bananas if the farmers and workers who grew them benefited.6 UK sales of Fairtrade products have also increased year-on-year, growing 12% last year to £1.73 billion.
Although low prices may have enticed customers through their doors, Aldi and Lidl are increasingly promoting quality and ethics as they seek to keep customers they gained during the recession. In October Aldi launched an organic range and Lidl's current ad campaign, filmed at a farmers' market, highlights produce quality.
Both offer a small but growing range of Fairtrade products, including some lines of chocolate, tea, coffee, bananas and wine. When Aldi launched Fairtrade roses this year, it boosted volumes of Fairtrade stems sold in the UK by 18%. Producers in Ethiopia and Kenya will benefit by earning a Fairtrade Premium to invest in their businesses and communities. Farmers in Belize, Fiji, Guyana and Jamaica have benefited thanks to the sale of Tate & Lyle Fairtrade sugar in Lidl.
With growing influence comes growing responsibility. The 'big four' are slashing prices in a bid to compete with the discounters. As the price wars intensify, there is a risk that ethical commitments might be reconsidered, or suppliers might be squeezed, in a race to sell at the cheapest possible price. But if they champion Fairtrade and other ethical produce, Aldi and Lidl have the opportunity to show that good value for consumers and a fair deal for producers can go hand-in-hand."
Finn Cottle, Soil Association
"Organic food and drink continues to be an essential part of the range in UK supermarkets: 83% of consumers choose it and they are willing to spend approximately £1.3bn per year on it. [7]
During the last five years, the organic market has gone from being in a post-recessionary dip to enjoying positive and steady growth, overtaking the performance of non-organic products in many sectors. 13% of consumers actively look for organic [1] and many more have remained loyal to organic and the benefits it brings. Those retailers who have stayed committed and maintained wide ranges have also experienced good growth throughout.
Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Tesco have approximately 70% of total organic supermarket sales with an increasing percentage of these purchases made online – now accounting for 14% of all organic sales.
Online retailer Ocado has a 6% share of the organic market, a huge proportion given its size within the grocery market. Ocado's approach is quite simple: by providing a comprehensive range of choice and guaranteed availability of organic products, it takes more market share each year.
Aldi and Lidl's share of the organic market is still relatively low in the UK. However, their presence in the organic sector across their stores in other European countries is well established and supported by shoppers. It is only a matter of time before the ranges expand in the UK and the prices decrease.
Organic works well for large retailers as many of their customers who buy organic also buy other premium ranges. Organic shoppers are often better informed about food choices and search out the products with the most trusted supply chains and guaranteed traceability. Post 'Horsegate', organic had a major boost in sales which has continued as consumers appear to have re-evaluated their choices since then.
With recovering consumer confidence in the UK and the fact that 29% of UK shoppers are willing to pay extra for products that are ethically produced and kinder to the environment, it would seem that the future looks bright for organic food."
A lot has happened to shake the market up since we last looked at supermarkets in March 2013. As we went to print then, several supermarkets – Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Asda and the Co-op – had been found to be selling beef which contained horsemeat. Consumer confidence was knocked and a survey by Which? found that six in ten customers changed their shopping habitats as a result of the horsemeat fiasco. [8]
Questions have once again been raised about supermarkets cutting corners in supply chains. A report by the Food Standards Agency, released in November 2014, found that eight out of ten fresh chickens (including organic and free-range) sampled from UK supermarkets were contaminated with the potentially lethal food-poisoning bug, campylobacter. Asda was the worst-performing retailer, with 78% of the chickens taken to labs testing positive for campylobacter. It was followed by the Co-op (73%), and then Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Waitrose, all on 69%. Marks & Spencer showed an incidence of 67% and Tesco fared the 'best' at 64%. [9]
Along with an incidence of bird flu on a duck farm in East Yorkshire and the continuing issue of TB in cattle, these cases indicate that intensive farming practices assist the spread of disease and suffering of animals.
Dented consumer confidence has also left the supermarkets with a new battle of falling sales and market share – a problem all four big retailers (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda) have experienced over the past year.
Some commentators have pointed towards the supermarkets' increasingly complex offerings and vast ranges of products as reasons why they have experienced a fall in sales. Others have highlighted changing consumer habits, with more people choosing to do their big shops online or visiting convenience stores for smaller, everyday items.
Convenience stores
In the UK there are over 50,000 convenience stores, accounting for a fifth of total grocery sales. The vast majority of these sales come from 'symbol group' retailers. These are groups usually organised by a wholesaler that are made up of independent businesses that collaborate in joint buying and marketing initiatives. In the UK market these stores include Premier, Best One, Costcutter, Spar UK, Nisa and Musgrave (Londis and Budgens). We have not covered these companies in this report; the fact that they are made up of separate companies would make this problematic.
As well as independently-owned convenience stores there are multiple chains. These include Tesco Express, One Stop (owned by Tesco), Sainsbury's Local, Little Waitrose, Morrisons M Local, M&S Simple Food, McColls Retail Group and Co-operatives. With the exception of McColls, the parent company of each of these is covered in this report.
The top five items people buy from convenience stores are the staple products, newspapers, snacks, alcohol and tobacco. However, reports suggest that fresh product lines in these stores are growing and improving. [11]
In this guide, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Asda, Tesco, Waitrose, Ocado and Iceland all offer online shopping and delivery.
In July 2014, an investigation by the Guardian revealed that the world's largest prawn farmer, Thailand-based Charoen Pokphand (CP) Foods, was buying the fishmeal for its farmed prawns from suppliers that used slave labour on fishing boats. Aldi, The Co-operative, Tesco, Asda, and Morrisons were all found to be selling products from the company, which admitted to slavery in its supply chain. There was also one line sold by Iceland which contained a prawn ingredient supplied by a subsidiary of CP Foods.
The Guardian reported that men who had managed to escape from boats had "experienced horrific conditions, including 20-hour shifts, regular beatings, torture, and execution-style killings". [14]
Ethical Consumer was shocked to learn that The Co-operative was using CP Foods, especially as it was a Best Buy in our last report on supermarkets. The revelation followed a bad year for the company. It announced that it had debts of £1.5 billion forcing it to sell its farming business, a key part of its identity and ideology.
The extent to which the financial trouble at The Co-op has affected its ethics perhaps remains to be seen. Ethical shoppers remain hopeful that the company will once again show leadership in promoting sustainable practices within the sector.
In October 2014, the Serious Fraud Office announced that it was to investigate Tesco's accounts after it found that the company's first-half profits had been overstated by £263 million. Following the disclosure of the error, Tesco suspended eight senior executives. Reports have suggested that the error is related to its miscalculation of payments made by suppliers to the retailer. Aggressive methods are alleged to have been used too and the company is accused of "deducting money from food producers' trading accounts without notice or extending its own credit terms unilaterally". [15]
The Groceries Code Adjudicator, Christine Tacon, said that it had asked Tesco to examine its behaviour towards suppliers during the company's internal review. Whether the company will be punished for such activity, however, remains to be seen.
Issues which the Groceries Code was set up to tackle include addressing price wars and ensuring that farmers receive a fair price. Banana farmers have long suffered by the price wars between supermarkets wanting to attract customers.
Sainsbury's, The Co-op and Waitrose all stock only Fairtrade bananas.
ASDA and Aldi pledged to source 93% of its bananas from Rainforest Alliance-accredited farms by the end of 2016, with the remainder sourced from Fairtrade Foundation farms. Lidl also announced in February 2016 it would make a similar commitment by the end of the year.
It leaves Morrisons and Tesco as the only major UK supermarkets yet to commit to sustainable banana sourcing through either the Rainforest Foundation or Fairtrade Foundation. A spokeswoman for Tesco said it was working closely with its suppliers to ensure employment standards improved across its banana supply chain.
Campaign group Banana Link said that "big question marks" remain over Rainforest Alliance labour standards verification and the lack of a minimum price for growers. Spokesperson for Banana Link, Alistair Smith said:
"Rainforest Alliance certification is better than nothing but not by that much," he added. "The big attraction for retailers is of course the easy consumer message on frogs and trees - but this should be no cover for the more difficult task of making serious environmental social and economic improvements to a very damaging and genetically vulnerable monoculture."
Fairtrade Foundation are running a campaign against ASDA and Tesco to get them to stock more Fairtrade bananas. Michael Gidney, Fairtrade Foundation CEO said of the ASDA pledge:
"Only Fairtrade includes the payment of Fairtrade prices and additional premiums for small farmers and workers to invest in their own development. In 2014, over 181,000 emails were sent to Asda and Tesco asking them to increase availability of Fairtrade bananas in their stores. In Asda's case, they were asking for it to be increased beyond the current 7%. We're disappointed that public demand is still unheeded."
Aldi UK is owned by Aldi Süd – a separate company from Aldi Nord – which has stores in Ireland, Hungary, Switzerland, Australia, Austria, and Slovenia. The company name derives from Albrecht Discounts, which comes from the surname of two brothers who took over the business from their mother in 1948.
Aldi receives a middle rating forits animal testing policy having banned animal testing for its own-brand cosmetic products in 1992 and for detergents and cleaning products in 2005. But it still stocks other brands that have been animal-tested.
Asda is owned by Walmart and received a best rating for supply chain management. However, a recent report by Eat Drink Politics, 'Walmart's Hunger Games', linked its business practices to the hunger of its workers. The report found that most workers earned less than $25,000 per year which meant they were likely to be food insecure. The movement said it aimed to get higher wages for Walmart workers and highlight their poverty and food insecurity.
The Co-operative was found to be one of CP Foods' customers, which admitted to slavery in its prawn supply chain. The Co-op stated that it was already working to understand "working conditions beyond the processing level". However, the company had supposedly already been "working with" CP Foods since February 2013,1 after environmentally unsustainable fish food was exposed by the television programme Hugh's Fish Fight. [2]
On slavery in the same supply chain nearly a year and a half later, the company stated: "The serious issue of human trafficking on fishing boats is challenging to address and requires a partnership" in which it claimed to be engaged. Ethical Consumer decided against withdrawing the Co-op's Best Buy status as a result of this slavery story; rather, we will be keeping a close eye on how the company addresses the issue going forward.
Frozen food specialist Iceland received a worst rating for environmental reporting and for its supply chain management system. During the horsemeat scandal the FSIA found trace amounts of horse DNA in Iceland beef burgers. This is well below the threshold level of 1% which the UK FSA applies as indicative of contamination or adulteration. Following the original publication of this report however, Iceland have contacted us and asked that we make the following correction: "However Iceland subsequently tested samples of burgers from the same production batch to the same tolerances used by the FSAI and no evidence of any horse DNA was found whatsoever. Since then, according to the company, over 2,000 tests of Iceland beef products have been carried out and no trace of horse meat or DNA has ever been found. We accept that no actual horsemeat was found in any Iceland beefburgers and apologise for any misunderstanding."
Sainsbury's is one of the world's largest retailers of Fairtrade products, with conversions of their own label bananas, ground and roast coffee, tea and sugar to Fairtrade. Despite this, it only receives a middle rating for supply chain management.
The company has been targeted by Palestinian solidarity activists for selling produce from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. In a joint venture with Dansk Supermarked, it opened its first Netto in Leeds in November 2014.
Based in Neckarsulm in southern Germany, Lidl is owned by Germany's third-richest man, Dieter Schwarz, son of the company's founder Josef Schwarz. It is a member of EuroCommerce, a free trade lobby group which is in favour of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment partnership (TTIP). In a position paper in June 2014 called 'TTIP: A good deal for Europe', it stated: "EuroCommerce encourages the EU to seek the closest possible economic integration and regulatory cooperation with the US."
Ocado is the world's largest dedicated online grocery supermarket. The company was founded in 2000 by three former Goldman Sachs bankers, with John Lewis as one of its original backers. John Lewis no longer holds any shares in the company but has an agreement with it to allow it to sell Waitrose-branded products. In 2013 Ocado entered into a deal with Morrisons to provide logistics support to help the supermarket launch its online shopping.
M&S receives a best rating for environmental reporting and supply chain management. The company has recently been praised by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) for its renewed pledge not to use cotton from Uzbekistan. However it lost its Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) leader status for stalling on plans to make all fridges HFC-free. It has also been criticised recently for selling products from other brands which contain GM soya or corn.
John Lewis, the owner of Waitrose, is the largest employee-owned business in the UK. However it only receives a middle rating for its supply chain management policy and therefore misses out on being a Best Buy. In its latest Corporate Social Responsibility report it stated that it would increase sales of UK-made products by 15% by 2015-2016.
Morrisons, the UK's fourth biggest supermarket, has been struggling recently. It was one of the companies found to be a customer of CP Foods (see under The Cooperative), and stated: "We are concerned by the findings of the investigation. Our ethical trading policy forbids the use of forced labour by suppliers and their suppliers."

So I been doing a bit of grinding in the early-ish part of the game and I was curious how the marriage works as far as this:
Whenever you get a S rank between two people do they automatically marry?
Or can you choose whether or not they tie the knot?
And if I do have Sully marry can she still max out her friendship with another male party member but not marry again (not that I want her too)?

The GOP presidential hopefuls will face off tonight in their latest debate. This week's forum in Las Vegas is billed as the first to focus on Western issues.
The debate will start at 8 p.m. ET on CNN and is co-hosted by the Western Leadership Conference.
Seven candidates -- Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum -- will participate. Jon Huntsman is skipping the debate, out of deference to New Hampshire's spat with the Silver State over the scheduling of GOP caucuses and primaries.
Although the seven nationally televised debates to date have not attracted big audiences, the events have been instructive.
"Debates are important because they raise the understanding of the attentive public," said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's the audience most likely to vote and it's always beneficial to increase the understanding of voters."
Here are five things we've learned from the GOP presidential debates:
1. The candidate with momentum gets the slings and arrows.
At Perry's first debate on Sept. 8, the Texas governor said he felt like the "pinata at the party" with all the shots he took from his rivals. The debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library was the first time he faced off against his opponents, and he was riding at the top of Gallup and other national polls. Cain got the same treatment last week in New Hampshire and was forced to defend his 9-9-9 tax plan as he's surging. Cain, essentially tied with Romney, can expect more tonight. Could the target change again?
"Herman Cain will lose luster because he will have difficulties explaining the implications of his 9-9-9 tax plan and his costly proposal to build a full southern border fence," says political scientist Jamie Chandler of Hunter College.
2. Performance matters.
Kelly McDonald, an assistant professor at Arizona State University and a former debate coach, says debates are "like the Olympic trials" that test a candidate's "character, judgment and poise" especially when it comes to handling criticism on the spot. In that regard, he says, Perry has flubbed his recent tryouts before the voters.
Perry argues the GOP presidential primary is not about electing the "slickest candidate or smoothest debater." Nick Miller, president of the speech and debate team at Perry's alma mater, Texas A&M University, offers a tip to Perry on how he can avoid becoming "muddled in a jumble of words and pauses."
"I would certainly suggest that he shortens the length of his sentences and gets to the point faster," Miller says in an e-mail. "He comes off as much more confident when he limits his sentences to about 10 to 12 words."
3. Romney is prepared.
This is an outgrowth of No. 2 on this list. In debate after debate, the former Massachusetts governor making his second run for the GOP nomination comes off prepared.
Some of his post-debate headlines: "Romney wins debate cross-examination," says Southern Illinois University debate coach Todd Graham for CNN. "Experts: Mitt Romney wins debate ... again," says the Deseret News, a Salt Lake City newspaper.
"In overall delivery and performance, he presents himself as the most presidential-acting and -sounding candidate," ASU's McDonald says about Romney. "He's had a chance to rehearse and refine his positions."
4. Policy differences get hammered -- and get covered.
At one debate, Romney's call to get tough on China and label the country a "currency manipulator" drew a rebuff from Huntsman, a former U.S. ambassador to China. The Wall Street Journal wrote an editorial against such a move. The subject came up again in last week's New Hampshire debate on the economy.
Perry got the same treatment for his defense of a Texas law that gives in-state tuition to children of illegal immigrants and his executive order mandating girls get the vaccine against HPV, which causes cervical cancer. Romney for days relentlessly hit Perry on immigration, making it the subject of numerous interviews, speeches and news releases. Bachmann did the same to Perry on the HPV vaccine.
"The effect that the debates have on subsequent press coverage of the issues is important," Annenberg's Jamieson says. "You increase the impact of the debate. Ultimately, you do get an elite consensus about issues."
At the same time, pointing out policy differences has given candidates who are lagging in the polls -- such as Paul and Santorum -- a chance to make key distinctions with their rivals.
5. Republicans make their contrast with President Obama.
If the White House is President Obama's bully pulpit, the debates in a way serve the same purpose for the GOP candidates. In 90-minute or two-hour bursts, they cast themselves as the un-Obama.
At an Iowa debate in August, the GOP presidential candidates were asked whether they'd reject a deficit-reduction plan that would have $10 in spending cuts for every $1 in new revenue. All eight candidates onstage raised their hands. The Obama White House pounced, saying the GOP field was out of touch with Americans.
"That's telegraphic of the consensus Republican position," Jamieson says. "The Republicans are clarifying ... and the public never would have learned it" if not for a debate.
Gingrich, for one, is usually quick to point out at the debates that anyone on the stage would be better than Obama. That mantra will no doubt come again tonight when the candidates face off in Las Vegas.
The next debate is scheduled for Nov. 9 at Oakland University in Michigan, hosted by CNBC.

Bassist and electronic artist Adam Linson brought this group together to explore new contexts at the intersection of jazz and computer music using real-time processing and interactive electronics.
Linson, Adam Systems Quartet (Dorner / Mahall / Linson / Lytton)
Figures And Grounds
Label: psi
Released in: Great Britain
"My role in bringing together this group was to provide a new context for the diverse talents of these musicians. From the outset, the aim of the group was to explore the range of possibilities at the intersection of jazz and computer music.
To extend the musical environment of the improvisational jazz quartet, I took live acoustic audio feeds from the four of us and subjected them to an array of manipulations including real-time signal processing - to provide an added point of interaction for the instruments being processed - and time-delayed sampling and layering (also subjected to signal processing) to multiply the instrumental voices and provide additional lines and textures with which to interact. In some cases I would set up and interactive electronic environment and return to the bass. In other cases, I would set aside the bass temporarily to actively "conduct" the array input and output feeds. [...]"-Adam Linson, from the liner notes

I have a HdHomeRun Connect and would like to get it working with PseudoTv. I have tried both options in the config and was hoping someone else has it set up and maybe I am missing a step. I first tried the HDHomeRun Prime/Extend option after I set my favorite channels up on the HDHR Connect but it didn't work. All I got was a message saying "Unable to populate channels. Please verify that you have scraped media in your library and that you have properly configured channels". So I tried the other option of strm but that didn't work either. The path I chose was Upnp->HDHOMERUNCONNECT. I could go a bit farther and click that folder and there were 2 subfolders called Favorites and Channels. After coming up with the same message as before I went back and looked in those folders and they were both empty. I even tried highlighting each of them and rerunning the autotune. This is a fresh install of Kodi and the addons needed for PseudoTv to work are all that's installed. I tried other various options in the Config such as changing from the default xml under the DVR tab to one I had that has all the channels for the HDHM. I also went to Utilities each time and cleared the config and the channel favorites. I ONLY have the HDHomeRun selected under the autotune. I don't even have USTVnow selected. Any Thoughts?
