I like this mod but today when I logged on and tried to use the outfit feature it just kept adding more when I click on the shirt icon. I am up to 24 now and I cannot go back to 1 it just keeps increasing. What should I do?
Edit: A complete relog seems to have solved the problem... but only for a short time. After an hour or so of gameplay it happens again for me. I would also like to add that I would like it if it had the ability to delete outfits due to this issue and in general.

Rock guitarist Eric Clapton has cancelled an upcoming concert in Bangkok because of the ongoing turmoil. The move is the latest blow to a city that is reeling from a downturn in tourism, trade and conference events.
The 68-year-old Clapton was due to play next Sunday at the Impact Arena in the north of Bangkok. But a statement posted on the website of promoter BEC-Tero said a decision had been taken not to proceed with the event due to the "current situation".
"I hope to return Bangkok in the future," Clapton is quoted as saying, according to the Nation newspaper. It provided details of how people could apply for a refund.
The cancellation is just the latest blow to Bangkok's tourism and entertainment industry which has felt the impact of the ongoing political turmoil as anti-government protesters seek the ousting of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. At least 20 people have been killed and dozens injured in violence.
Reports suggest the violence and uncertainty has damaged Bangkok's image as a safe and easy place to visit. The Reuters news agency said this week that the Thai Hotel Association had revealed that occupancy rates in the capital were hovering at around 50 per cent, well below the usual 80 per cent at this time of year.
At the same time, Thai Airways International reported a big net loss of £211m for 2013. Another loss is already expected for 2014. Meanwhile, Thailand also announced the biggest drop in imports in more than four years in January.
Imports fell 15.5 per cent in January from a year earlier, the biggest tumble since October 2009. Imports of computers and parts were down 19 per cent from a year earlier, car parts off 31.8 per cent and consumer goods 5.3 per cent. Exports dropped two per cent.
Thailand is a regional hub for global car makers and a major producer of hard disk drives. "Everybody is definitely delaying their imports of consumer products as most shopping malls are quiet," said Nopporn Thepsitthar, chairman of the National Shippers' Council. "Nobody dares to place big orders."Reuse content

Despite a law banning texting and driving in Missouri, many continue to turn their eyes from the road, to their phones.
Now, a group of St. Joseph filmmakers has teamed up with Highway Patrol in hopes of "ending the send."
In Focus Productions has launched a new public service announcement hoping the message will trigger a message with teenage drivers.
The PSA warns young people of the dangers of texting and driving.
"We want people to be proactive," said Central High School student, Derek Rice, who worked on the project with Bryson Wooden, a CHS Senior, and Josh Smith, a Missouri Western student.
"You want people to do something before they get themselves in a situation they can't take back," Rice said.
Check out "End the Send" for yourself - log onto face book and like In Focus Productions.
There, you can also view the groups suicide awareness video, "Save Me."

LSU students to have input on Blevins building
Just when the parish is in the midst of redesigning the upper floors of the Blevins building in Franklin for courthouse expansion use, a group of LSU students will add their input.
Judith Allain of the Franklin Historic District invited members of the St. Mary Parish Council to come see ideas created by interior design students in the CCELL program at Louisiana State.
She said CCELL — the Center for Community Engagement, Learning & Leadership — is a service-learning program in which students partner with communities to address real world concerns.
They will present their design concepts Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Lamppost on adaptive uses of the upper floors of the parish owned Blevins building.
The parish has earmarked almost $900,000 in capital improvement funds for the upper floors of the building on Main Street at Willow. It currently houses the state unemployment office and St. Mary Chamber of Commerce on the first floor. The improvement project is currently in the design phase, according to earlier reports by parish President Paul Naquin.
Allain reminded the council that a previous CCELL project in 2009 focused on the former U.S. Post Office and the Center Theater.
"Their projects range from highly creative out of the world to the well organized and plausible," she said. "Because of LSU's CCELL program, we're able to get a lot of ides and it costs us nothing, except the (students) time and effort."
She concluded by inviting the council members to attend the presentations on Thursday.
In other business during the regular session Wednesday the council:
—Approved resolutions on an amendment to the cooperative endeavor agreement with the state Department of Economic Development; a grant application to the Federal Highway Administration's Recreational Trails Program; change orders on the taxiway lights and signage rehab project at Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport, and on Phase 1, Stage 2 of the expansion project at the Harold J. "Babe" Landry Landfill.
—Approved funding transfer requests by Councilman David Hangriff, District 3, from the Wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 10 three-tenths sales tax collections in the amounts of $1,500 to the Town of Baldwin for Baldwin Little League and $1,000 to St. Mary Landmarks; and Ken Singleton, District 5, in the amount of $10,000 to the Patterson Volunteer Fire Department for purchase of communication equipment.
—Referred to the budget finance committee a request to reinstate funding assistance to the St. Mary Soil and Water Conservation District; and an issue dealing with funding of the state mandated 16th Judicial District Children and Youth Planning Board. The board has notified the parish that it no longer has funds to retain its administrative director and therefore has suspended operation. State funding for the board ended in 2009 "and the board requested contributions from the various stakeholders throughout the judicial district including parish governments, the district attorney, the district judges, parish school boards as well as city and town governments," the notification reads. "Some of these entities have pledged support and others have not done so formally. The board also sought grants and funding from other sources." The notification further reads that $70,000 in reimbursements is owed to the St. Martin Parish government which over the director's employment in behalf of the district attorney's office as fiscal agent of the board.
—Reappointed Ovay Rogers to the Hospital Service District 3 board of commissioners.
At-large Councilman Kevin Voisin, District 11, was absent.

Fog Computing Aims to Reduce Processing Burden of Cloud Systems
Fog computing is bringing data processing, networking, storage and analytics closer to the devices and applications that are working at the network's edge.Cisco Systems officials have spent much of the year talking about extending the cloud with "the fog." In January, the networking giant introduced its fog computing vision, the idea of bringing cloud computing capabilities—from applications and data analytics to processing, networking and storage—to the edge of the network, closer to the rapidly growing number of user devices that are consuming cloud services and generating the increasingly massive amount of data. Cisco officials also unveiled the company's IOx platform, designed to bring distributed computing to the network edge. Earlier this month, the vendor rolled out the next phase of IOx, which included adding to the list of Cisco products that support the platform and the list of partners involved.
The billions of mobile devices—such as smartphones and tablets—already being used to generate, receive and send data make a case for putting the computing capabilities closer to where these devices are located, rather than having all information flowing back over networks to central data centers. The expected growth of the Internet of things (IoT) only strengthens the argument.

FDA Offers Consumer Tips about Shopping at the Store on FoodSafety.gov
This week's FoodSafety.gov blog provides consumers with seven tips for avoiding foodborne illnesses when buying food.
"Protecting your family against foodborne illnesses begins not at home but at the supermarket, grocery store or any other place where you buy food that you plan to store and serve," Doriliz De Leon, a consumer safety officer in the Division of Enforcement in the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition's Office of Compliance, tells consumers.
Consumers should:
1. Check for store cleanliness.
2. Separate raw meat, poultry, and seafood from other foods.
3. Inspect cans and jars for irregularities.
4. Inspect frozen food packaging for signs of damage or defrosting.
5. Add frozen foods and perishables last.
6. Choose fresh eggs carefully, eyeballing for cracks and cleanliness.
7. Be mindful of transport time and changing food temperatures.
The blog can be accessed by clicking here and going to FoodSafety.gov -- the federal government's gateway to food safety information.

Not only did "The Master" (limited) and "Arbitrage" (wider and also available outside of theater viewing) do great business this weekend, they did so at what is usually a slow time of the year. The same weekend in 2011 saw "My Weekend With Margueritte" and "Restless" open to modest at best results. After an unusually strong specialized summer, not only does the fall start off with a bang, but earlier than usual.
These two films stand apart from uneven performances for many others, but several — "Sleepwalk With Me," "Samsara," "Robot and Frank" and "Searching for Sugar Man"–continue to show strength.
"The Master" (Weinstein) – Metacritic score: 90; Festivals include: Venice 2012, Toronto 2012
$729,745 in 5 theaters; PSA (per screen average): $145,949
A great opening with the best reviews for an Oscar contender since "The Social Network," this sets a new record (non-inflation adjusted) for a specialized platform release ever. What makes these numbers even more impressive is that this PSA comes from five, rather than the more usual four (as was the case for "The Moonrise Kingdom"), two of which were within a mile of each other in Greenwich Village, which is rare and could have dissipated the audience.
After premiering within the last two weeks in Venice and Toronto, and following the recent successful trend of opening major fest films right after ("The Tree of Life," "Midnight in Paris," Moonrise Kingdom" were after Cannes) rather than waiting until year's end, this presents a risk/reward situation for the Weinstein Co. The positive side is justified by these grosses, and with a fairly clear field with few other potential awards contenders/review-driven films opening right away, this has a chance to soar with less competition than it would have later. And Weinstein will have no trouble getting any screen (and capacity) it wants in theaters over the near-term, always a factor in grosses.
The risk side is that even with the great reviews, "The Master" will not have at this point the benefit of critics awards, ten best lists and early nominations that parallel a late-year Oscar release, a game-plan that Weinstein plays with virtuousity and uses to build both momentum and gross. TWC also has other fish to fry over the next few months. This is not their only Oscar contender this year (by a long shot), but it seems likely to score big overall and especially in top categories. But winning often is connected with timing, including where a film is in its theatrical release. Also there's no guarantee how this brainy critics' fave will play in wider release.
Weinstein plans to quickly expand this to multiple new markets with a wider than usual second week to capitalize on the huge opening reaction. But they will need to keep this visible theatrically into next year (including planned ad support three months from now during the holidays). So this early date should not be seen as an indication that they have anything less than major expectations for it come awards time.
Paul Thomas Anderson's "There Will Be Blood" opened on two screens post-Christmas weekend in 2007 for a great PSA of $95,000 (likely limited by intense competition in theaters), then with strong Oscar support and major ad costs proving costly, ended up grossing $40 million, which in turn was a factor in Paramount deciding to back away from its stand-alone specialized unit. Whether this outgrosses "Blood" remains to be seen. "Moonrise Kingdom," which also scored with a younger specialized audience (which seems to have been the case this weekend for "The Master") as well as the usual older sector, has grossed $45 million so far, without any benefit from awards. "The Master" is a complex and thought-provoking film which potentially will have some polarized reaction. But based on this start, an ultimate gross at above this level is a possibility.
What it means: This has been the year of record grosses in months outside the usual late-year arthouse timeframe, which will likelyincrease the number of major films in the future that open year-round.
"Arbitrage" (Roadside Attractions) – Metacritic score: 73; Festivals include: Sundance 2012, Phoenix 2012, San Sebastian 2012; also available on Video on Demand, ITunes
$2,069,770 in 197 theaters; PSA: $10,505
The great numbers for "The Master" overshadow the equally important news from the grosses of "Arbitrage." This Sundance-premiered crime story revolving around a Wall Street mogul (Richard Gere) did very solid numbers in an elevated limited release (going nationwide in major cities, most with multiple runs, but still under 200 total). What is significant about these grosses is that the film simultaneously debuted on home viewing platforms, with no obvious damage to the theatrical returns.
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions last year advanced the Video on Demand platform when it released "Margin Call" in October day and date in theaters and at home, with an ultimate theatrical gross of over $5 million (and a writing Oscar nod to boot). This is off to a much bigger start. The PSA from 197 theaters is better than "Margin Call" had in 56, and double what the earlier film had in its second with with 140 theaters – truly impressive and encouraging for further business.
But what makes this even more remarkable is the realities of getting VOD releases into theaters. Most independent theaters have dropped their resistance, but the major chains mostly refuse to play anything simultaneously available at home. (AMC, the second-largest chain, is playing "Arbitrage," as they did "Margin Call," under reported different-from-normal rental deals). Particularly at a time of the year when grosses are softer, and more so when theaters are underperforming as they have been for the last few weeks, not participating in what could be a $10 million-plus film only hurts these major chains.
What it means: Although the VOD play has been mainly limited to independent companies (as Weinstein now enters the field), the people watching this most carefully are likely the studios, who crave access to alternative venues either the same date as theatrical release or closer to their openings. That is what makes "Arbitrage" such a big deal — it advances the case that films, at least at this level, can still gross in theaters while they are also available at home.
"Liberal Arts" (IFC) – Metacritic score: 50; Festivals include: Sundance 2012, Dallas 2012, Seattle 2012, Provincetown 2012
$30,000 in 4 theaters; PSA: $7,500
Opening in NY/LA to mixed reviews, this Sundance competition film directed by and starring Josh Radnor ("How I Met Your Mother") sold out for some shows at its LA theaters. Compared to several other recent weeks' Sundance film openings, these aren't great numbers, but do justify IFC's planned rollout to at least 15 new markets starting next week.
What it means: In a week with two strong competitors opening, this still managed to get at least some initial interest even without anything like the review support the others commanded.
"Ten Years" (Anchor Bay) – Metacritic score: 62; Festivals include: Toronto 2011; also available on Video on Demand
$23,300 in 3 theaters; PSA: $7,767
Channing Tatum has been on a roll this year with "21 Jump Street" and "Magic Mike" as an actor and more. This high school reunion film was actually made before either, premiering at Toronto a year ago, and is just now opening while also available on VOD. It had three strong NY/LA theaters, but this is likely its highwater mark.
What it means: Most of the remaining viewing will be at home.
"Keep the Lights On" (Music Box) – Week 2
$32,000 in 5 theaters (unchanged); PSA: $6,400
Opening in the Bay area while keeping the same theater count, this fell 42% this weekend off its OK start. Once again, another NY or LA relationship story is finding resistance in specialized theaters, in this case despite excellent reviews. Although its gay storyline still limits its appeal, its core audience is not turning out in large numbers either.
What it means: Music Box did its work in getting this film attention and placed in appropriate theaters, but so far hasn't found the audience this deserves. It however is set to open in most major cities in key theaters in upcoming weeks.
"Hello, I Must Be Going" (Oscilloscope) – Week 2
$9,480 in 2 theaters (unchanged); PSA: $4,740; Cumulative: $41,000
Despite acclaim for Melanie Lynskey's performance, this Sundance-premiered somewhat older woman/younger man drama dropped an unhealthy 60% this weekend.
What it means: This will not go much beyond exclusive art house runs, and then likely not for any length of time.
"Detropia" (Loki) – Week 2
$42,390 in 5 theaters (+4); PSA: $8,478; Cumulative: $68,000
This detailed studied of the decline of Detroit scored a decent expansion in its second week adding new cities.
What it means: In a time when most successful docs are personality-driven, this more serious film goes against the grain. These early numbers suggest there is at least a small audience interested in more socially-relevant subjects at the moment.
"For a Good Time Call" (Focus) – Week 3
$271,319 in 107 theaters (+45); PSA: $2,535; Cumulative: $818,000
It's hardly great news, but the PSA dropped a modest 1/3rd this weekend despite the theater count doubling. That said, this remains a disappointing result, with specialized audiences showing more resistance to female-centric raunchy comedies than mass audiences did with "Bridesmaids."
What it means: This looks likely to fall short of the total gross of the already disappointing "Ruby Sparks" and other similar post-"(500) Days of Summer" films.
"Sleepwalk With Me" (IFC) – Week 4; also available on Video on Demand
$416,500 in 119 theaters (+45); PSA: $3,500; Cumulative: $1,334,000
While "Arbitrage" breaks new ground for concurrent VOD releases, "Sleepwalk With Me" continues to grow as well. With a more than a third increase in theaters, the PSA actually increased this weekend, a very strong showing for any film, even more for one than can be seen elsewhere.
What it means: IFC's decision to make this quickly available to VOD will of course limit the theatrical take, but the synergy of their decision seems to be working out quite well.
"Samsara" (Oscilloscope) – Week 4
$241,205 in 62 theaters (+37); PSA: $3,891; Cumulative: $827,000
More than doubling theaters, the PSA fell a normal amount, but this is still showing some strength as it hits more cities.
What it means: The key to this film's future will be playing steadily and possibly developing cult-film interest like "Baraka" and similar photo-essay/spiritual films.
"Robot and Frank" (IDP) – Week 5
$428,450 in 209 theaters (+7); PSA: $2,050; Cumulative: $2,623,000
A small drop in the PSA after a large one the previous week, meaning this Frank Langella-starring drama has stabilized at this level of run and is positioned to add a substantial amount more to its gross.
What it means: At this point, this doesn't seem to warrant a much wider release and the expense that goes with that. But it should end up ahead of most other late summer specialized releases, and then go on to much more attention when it leaves theaters.
"Chicken With Plums" (Sony Pictures Classics) – Week 5
$24,100 in 17 theaters (+12); PSA: $1,418; Cumulative: $144,100
Receiving the normal thorough expansion SPC always provides its film, this French animated film still is struggling to find any sort of audience.
What it means: Despite this, expect it to keep showing up for several more weeks.
"Celeste and Jesse Forever" (Sony Pictures Classics) – Week 7
$155,666 in 152 theaters (-289); PSA: $1,024; Cumulative: $2,913,000
Losing 2/3s of its theaters led to the PSA going up somewhat, but this remains an underperforming film considering how wide it has played.
What it means: Just more evidence of the struggles rom/coms are having in the specialized market.
"Searching for Sugar Man" (Sony Pictures Classics) – Week 8
$113,000 in 34 theaters (+1); PSA: $3,324; Cumulative: $2,913,000
Still very limited, still with nearly the same PSA as this quitely is turning into one of the most successful documentaries of the year.
What it means: This might play all fall and could easily surpass $5 million.
"The Imposter" (Indomina) – Week 10
$58,237 in 30 theaters (+3); PSA: $1,941; Cumulative: $676,000
Though without ever having any one standout week as it has expanded, this doc keeps performing slowly but steadily with effective but low-key marketing.
What it means: This could see $1 million in gross yet.
"The Beasts of the Southern Wild" (Fox Searchlight) – Week 12
$256,000 in 212 theaters (-57); PSA: $1,208; Cumulative: $10,673,000
The length of this run, and the number of theaters still playing, is as impressive as its total gross so far.
What it means: While "The Master" scores as the new kid on the Oscar block, "Beasts" continued presence and longevity is key to making sure it is remember a few months from now.
"To Rome With Love" (Sony Pictures Classics) – Week 13
$78,250 in 85 theaters (-12); PSA: $921; Cumulative: $16,440,000
At the end of its run, but it managed to play all summer.
What it means: Though not anything close to "Midnight in Paris," this has done well enough to consider Allen still a major draw, particularly worldwide (it has done $54 million total so far).
"Moonrise Kingdom" (Focus) – Week 17
$196,000 in 157 theaters (-43); PSA: $1,248; Cumulative: $44,925,000
Speaking of Oscar contenders helping themselves by sticking around….
What it means: Painfully close to equalling "Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," but still looking like it will fall just short.
"Intouchables" (Weinstein) – Week 17
$263,000 in 180 theaters (-14); PSA: $1,461; Cumulative: $11,950,000
What is left to say? The Weinstein Company (and Miramax before) has rarely been the tortoise in any race, but that has been their role here, to great success.
What it means: This was never going to repeat its international success in the US – the subtitles and familiar storyline restricted its appeal. But being the biggest subtitled film of the year and longer, even more so when not being review-driven, is a significant achievement on its own.

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin deconstructs the anti-marriage equality arguments of Jim DeMint, head of the Heritage Foundation, a leading conservative think tank. DeMint said this weekend that marriage equality offends the dignity of those who oppose it for religious or moral reasons. "[H]e better come up with more persuasive reasons if he wants those states to stop expanding the definition of marriage," Rubin writes.

Everything in the U.S. is now Samsung and Hyundai,not Sony and Toyota.Kinda makes you wonder......
Japan flirts with recession after output, exports drop
This is the result of just two arrows of "Abenomics" scared to think that 3rd one is still there in reserve.
No surprises here.
Anyone with a basic knowledge of economics knew this Abenomics nonsense would just make things worse.
Stagflation? Yum!
abe's nomics really are doing well aren't they! What a hopeless PM he has been. Only good thing is, is that he is forever out of the country.
This is impossible - the supreme leader Shinzo says all is just dandy and going according to plan. Its the damn Reuters reporters fault - those gaijin just don`t understand Japanese culture and economy and are causing "misunderstandings " again. Time for NHK to put out "correct , shiny interpretation "of these statistics for the masses.
Economists are considering cutting their forecasts, with some pencilling in a 7-9 percent plunge. That could be so deep that Japan barely grows in the fiscal year to March.
Wow, that's a prtty serious plunge. Just shows what many of us here said from the very beginning -- "Abenomics" was just a slick PR term for another LDP-led pork-barrel spending program that temporarily pumped up economic activity but had no long-term impact, and will just add to Japan's staggering debt. And if the economy does go into recession, it will get even worse, since tax revenues will drop, despite the tax increase. Called a lose-lose.
This was already predicted last year here, by this economist. It predicted that unless Japan is successful devaluing their currency for at least five straight years, and cut the value by at least half, the initial success by Abe's policies wasn't going to have the staying power. It says Japan's policies is uncharted territory, which is doomed for failure.
I find this article hillarious I guess it depends on which newspaper you are reading or getting your information from.
Curiously, the price of everything has gone up, yet salaries have remained the same or shrunken... That's not how this was meant to work!
So what, Abenomics ISN'T working???? What???? Gee, who ever would have thought that??
Running out of air to sigh.
Can we for once have one capable PM that can pull this countries economy out of the shitter. Cut down on government spending and do what is right for the country.
Japan had its chance to transition from a mass manufacturing economy to a high end manufacturer like Germany or becoming a fiscal services hub like Singapore and Hong Kong, but they missed it by not taking English language education seriously and stubbornly sticking to developing economy business models and policies. Now that the South Koreans have figured out how to implement Japan inc. for themselves, they are kicking our arse with their cheaper wages.
How is Japan going to feed the 1st wave of babyboomers who are going to retire from the workforce en masse within the next 5 years? This is so horrible.
Just 21% of Japanese people had a positive view of the Abe cabinet in the last poll I saw. His personal approval ratings are now below 50% and on a downward trajectory. His nationalistic chest-thumping isn't deflecting enough attention away from the fact that his grand economic plan ( warmed-up and repackaged LDP past failures ) isn't cutting it. I can't see him being in power this time next year.
My central argument has always been that: A: "Abenomics" was nothing more than a massive ramping up of the same tired governmental policies of near zero interest rates, deficit spending, and funneling yet more public money into the very same construction companies that have always been beneficiaries of such pork in the past.
The difference this time (besides the scope of the money printing and Abe's bogus promises for "deregulation and reform at some as-yet undecided time in the future...") was the unrelated but simultaneously enacted sales tax shock. But again, I've argued that B: Japan in 2014 is not the same Japan it was 10 years ago, and certainly different than it was back in 1993 (the last time the tax was hiked) or 1989 (when it was introduced-ironically enough, just before Japan's economic "bubble" burst.)
Japan is a different country now than it's ever been before due to three things: first, the population has aged considerably, all at once and in massive numbers. They're getting ready to retire or have already started the economic process from earner to government pension moocher/private savings penny-pincher.
Second, there is increased competition in the Japanese market from without (i.e. from foreign imports and "Japanese" brands importing from abroad; products Japanese are now increasingly craving...partly because they are foreign, but mainly because of the price!) and competition from within (e.g. Uniqlo, 100 yen shops and Seiyu/Walmart/Costco-style generic "brands" cutting into traditional "brands" and their overpriced equivalents.)
Third and finally: changes in the labor market, including more temp-staff, "full-time" part-timers and Freeters, the inflow of previously non-working women, housewives and seniors, and the ever-greater concentration of workers into fewer "mega-city" destinations. More and more citizens are working not for annual salaries and bonuses, but for stagnantly-low hourly wages (often with less rights, less job security and severely-limiting pay ceilings guaranteed by recent "employment reform" bills enacted in order to...ahem...jump-start the economy.)
All these changes spell disaster for a country blindly seeking to "tax and spend" its way out of systemically-ingrained economic troubles by hiking the prices of everything its people are offered. The country's fundamentally changed, even if the "solutions" of its ruling class remain stubbornly similar to the failed policies of yesteryear. When greying boomers and equally hard-pressed single youths find that their monthly funds buy less each time they go to market, more often than not-they will simply buy less at the market!
Behold the asinine contradictions of Abenomics...and tremble for Japan's future.
Evedntually printing money doesn't work. We need the BoJ to aggressively sell yen etc etc. world economy is a giant experiment waiting to blow up.
I've been saying all along that Abe's economic strategies would fail because the markets he is relying on do not exist for Japan anymore and this is the proof! He has just recycled the same old bat-crap from 30 years ago with no innovation or imagination what-so-ever! All he has achieved is, increased the public debt and made people poorer. And, there are still more tax increases to come! Japan's economy is doomed under this government and my advice to foreigners is, make as much as money as you can and get the heck out of here as quickly as you can.
Curiously, the price of everything has gone up, yet salaries have remained the same or shrunken... That's not how this was meant to work!
Abe is only concerned about the rich, the elite and the companies. He doesn't give a toss about the little people. So, from his point of view, it's all working very well I guess.
Look, we all know that this facade of "getting Japan out of stagnation" is..
A. Not working
B. Doomed to fail.
Now, everyone giving examples of WHY it isn't working is cool. I think we all get that and it is informative but, the thing that worries me is that Abe and the elites are doing this for another reason. They aren't stupid. They have some of the best minds and experts PURPOSELY coming up with a policy that is doomed to fail. To me, it is more interesting to think about why they are doing something that by all rights, they should fully well know is bound to end in ruin....
unless that is the goal for some reason....
The sputtering recovery is a far cry from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's early success in lifting growth and halting deflation through aggressive monetary stimulus and government spending.
In doing so, Abe picked the easy fruit, but seems unwilling to put in the hard work to nurture a bigger tree for the future.
His third arrow should have been the centerpiece of Abenomics, but he hasn't produced anything of significance, just a load of fanciful happy talk.
In the meantime, the government has continued to spend far more money than it hauls in in tax revenues, loading the economy down with even more debt.
It's not too late, but Abe needs to spend every waking hour of the day for the next 3-6 months actually producing a 3rd arrow if he intends to be a long-term PM.
Abenomics. Pssh. Garbage.
Japan needs to give people more money for discretionary spending. They should deregulate the telephone/ cell phone industry, get rid of JA and remove sales tax on food and medicines.
"So what, Abenomics ISN'T working???? "
Hello? The tax hike isn't part of Abenomics. The hike was negotiated long before Abe entered the scene, with the DPJ, LDP as well as the other parties.
In fact, raising taxes - an anti-stimulus measure - amid Abe's stimulus is irrational, and I predict it would put an unnecessary drag on the economy.
Japan is now paying the price for it's previous business and political practices. By keeping the domestic market closed to competition, and keeping domestic prices artificially high, they have driven up the cost of living to the point that it has become too expensive to have children. So now fewer children are being born, the population decreases, and the economy shrinks.
And of course, the very things which Japan needs to do to lower the cost of living, like removing the tariffs on foodstuffs and staples, getting rid of price-fixing, and lightening the tax burden, are not all all being addressed by abenomics.
Don't believe everything you read, the economy is doing just fine. As a couple of enlightened posters has mentioned previously, it just depends on which paper/article you look at.
I am kind of happy. Why?
Because I want Abe out on principle. But that would never oust him. Unlike myself, most people think with their wallets it seems, and if this keeps up, it will drive Abe out.
I can handle being poor. I cannot handle having a war apologist paving the way for more war in the government of the country I live in.
@sangetsu03 and @5petals,
Good comments. The question I have ... Is Abe trying to launch the "3rd arrow" and being blocked by the bureaucrats, or is he just not really trying?
serendipitous Aug. 01, 2014 - 12:29AM JST Why, then, is Japan seen as a loser? On the official gross domestic product numbers, the United States has ostensibly outperformed Japan for many years.
If you can choose between Tokyo and Shanghai, and you pay no taxes one place and 25 to 35 percent at home, you're encouraged to move jobs overseas. For majority of the Japanese 20,000 companies operating inside China, the untaxed cash keeps building up and few are choosing to bring it home, instead preferring to borrow for any domestic cash needs. Until they change the tax law, there's not much other than extreme distress in Japan that would precipitate a repatriation. Japan goverment should impose rules to make it tougher for companies to shift earnings out of the Japan.
Abenomics. Worked only for Toyota and Honda. But the rest of the population to include Sony, did not work.
Hi! It's me again, the "Abe-geddon" (sic: The Sky is Falling) man (chicken)... Bring back Noda-pragmatism! At least we could afford imports back then and we had discounted highway tolls and affordable gasoline (bacause the yen was strong).
Of course, it would be good to have a Bank Governor who understands global economics. I kinda like Sakakibara (MOF) and hearken back to his prediction in March 2013 that "CPI will never reach 2%" (Due to "the integration of the Japanese economy with the rest of east Asia").
Can we get back to a real economy now and not some contrived political economy that only serves the whim of pork-barrel and cozy relationships?

The research network "Shop, Consumer, City" was started as an attempt to create a dialogue between the two disciplines 'research in urban history' and the 'history of occupation and industry'. "The production of consumption" is a key term in different work made by the network: Production creates identity and consumption shapes cities and shops as well as cities and shops shapes the patterns of consumption. The Danish "consumer society" was already taking shape in the 19th century. Changes in consumption and culture met economic growth and thus making new groups of society active consumers and creators of new types of cities. It is one of the main tasks of the network to create a dialogue between the mentioned disciplines, but also between museums and university researchers. The network is run, among others, by Danish Centre for Urban History and Odense City Museums. Furthermore it is financially supported by the Danish Council for Independent Research, Culture and Communication. The work of the individual persons in the network is put into practice at our seminars, of which two already has been held. The third and final is planned for fall 2016.
A grant from the Danish Council for Independent Research made it possible in the summer of 2014 to realize the project "Urban Diaspora. Diaspora Communities and Materiality in Early Modern Urban Centres" on which Danish Centre for Urban History is a partner. It is an interdisciplinary project covering archaeology, history, archaeobotany and zoology at both Danish and Swedish research institutions. One of the mains tasks of the project is to shed a new light on the immigration societies in Aalborg, Helsingør and Nya Lödöse. The research made is basic research and the aim is to provide new knowledge on the immigration societies in the market towns and the establishment of a modern Denmark centuries before the nation state.
The book Danmarks Byer i Middelalderen ("Danish towns during the medieval period") completes a project that has set the standard for medieval town research in Denmark since 1977. This book gathers all of the knowledge and information collected in this period and combines it with the latest research. Professor in medieval history Bjørn Poulsen and professor in medieval archaeology Hans Krongaard Kristensen are authors of the book, and are assisted by different helping hands including the employees at Danish Centre for Urban History. In collaboration with the authors and Aarhus Universitetsforlag, Danish Centre for Urban History is publishing the book. The entire project is financially supported by Velux Fonden, who also made the online publishing of much of the source material possible at byhistorie.dk.
Mikkel Høghøj was granted a PhD-sholarship at Aarhus University from the 1st of February 2015 with the working title "When Aarhus became modern - the question of welfare and its impact on the design and transformation of the modern Aarhus 1900-1970"
By using Aarhus (1900-1980) as the primary case, the project investigates how welfare and urban space mutually have defined each other as well as promoting a specific 'welfare citizen' and patterns of social behavior. More concretely the project focuses on the production of certain forms of urban spaces or "welfare geographies" such as slum areas, social housing and single family-house areas. Here questions on welfare were interpreted through everything from governmental processes to everyday practices. Emphasis is put on the 1930's and onwards where the urban space went through massive changes as a result of urban planning, sanitation and prefabricated constructions through which new norms of welfare materialized. By examining how welfare was practiced from an urban perspective (between macro and micro), the project seeks to provide a more nuanced picture of the history of the welfare society as more than the history of the welfare state.
The project is an emotional geography of the first Turkish, Pakistani and Yugoslavian guest workers and their everyday lives in Danish urban spaces between 1963 and 1983. Combining personal accounts from former guest workers with source material from the Danish National Archives and local city archives the project maps out contested emotional landscapes of their daily whereabouts. Through this approach the project underlines the reciprocity between people and places by emphasizing in what ways the migrant workers' expectations of a temporary stay in Denmark transformed the materiality of the city and simultaneously reshaped their senses of temporary and permanent belongings.
Initially the Danish society and the migrant workers shared the anticipations of a short term stay in Denmark coursing impermanent solutions in terms of housing, meeting places and social security all the way up to the immigrant reform of 1983. In other words the cities were not ready to permanently house the guests. Consequently the group found alternative urban meeting places and created homes that challenged the conventional housing practices of the period.
Through the years some workers found enduring homes in Denmark with their families. However we have very limited insight into the migrants own distinctive experiences in their early years in Denmark; in what ways where feelings of homeliness practiced and performed? And how did homelessness materializes in the alternative use of the city? By answering these questions the PhD project provides a needed perspective 'from below' and informs our understanding of material and emotional affiliations.

I recently upgraded a Domino server to 8.5.2 (Linux/32-Bit). If I try to activate an OS5 device, it always stops at the stage "Status: Service will be initialized (Desktop)". No Contacts or calendar entries flow to the fresh device. No error message occurs, the enterprise activation screen just hangs at "desktp synchronisation". The Domino console shows a lot of messages like:

BES 5.0.2 is running on top of Domino 8.5.1FP1 (Windows/32-Bit).
Any ideas?

Create a Competition Area on a Joomla Website
- Status Completed
- Budget €100 - €200 EUR
- Total Bids 10
Project Description
We have a Joomla website that we want to run several competitions on.
The Easy Bit:
I need a webpage at the front end to collect the customers information and add it to a sql database (hosted online ie mysqladmin).
The Messy Bit:
The database needs to know when an individual attempts to add themselves to the draw a second time and block it.
Although due to the law in our country, we need the customer to tick a box so we can send them promotional information so if they don't tick the box the first time and do the second, we want the system to correct that.
We will have several draws throughout the year and we have several store locations. Sometimes the draws will be nationwide and sometimes they will be store specific. We need an option to add customers to several locations should they wish to receive information from more than one store but we do not want to duplicate the customer listing. We don't want a login type system so the email addresses will be the primary key.
Customers can join as many draws as they like but they can only enter each on once.
In the CRM area of Joomla we need a tool that can be used by non IT Marketing Staff to choose a store and either send them all a bcc email with a promotion or compile a list of phone numbers in excel and/or CSV format so the promotion can be bulk SMSed to the customers. The SMS bulk provider we are looking at is [url removed, login to view] and if it can be added to the CRM it would be a bonus but, is likely to be the deciding factor as to which freelancer we go with.Get free quotes for a project like this

An Opinion in The National, www.thenational.com.pg
Drought is an unpredictable event and Papua New Guinea has had its own share of experiencing this in the past.
The most severe drought recorded in its history was the El Nino-related "mega" in 1997.
Following the drought of that year, NARI began devising strategies aimed at preparing local communities to cope with the likely effects of recurring drought situations.
NARI is concerned by the impacts such events will have on food security and overall livelihoods of communities.
In this regard, there is a lot to learn from very dry regions in the world, particularly Africa. Africa has its own rice, that has adapted to dry and harsh conditions.
The African rice, Oryza glaberrima, is a different species from the common species of rice cultivated elsewhere in the world. Oryza sativa is also referred to as the Asian rice.
Sticky Japanese sushi rice, and fluffy and fragrant Indian basmati rice, although very different in appearance, texture, and taste, are mere variations of Asian rice.
African rice is highly adapted to dry climate and tolerant to pests and diseases, unlike its Asian cousin. However, Asian rice has its own advantages, including high yield.
There is a technology in science to combine the two traits. It is called breeding. Breeding can be done by pollinating a female flower of one variety with pollens from another variety. The seeds produced by this procedure have characters from both the parents.
Seeds that have desirable traits can be selected for multiplication. But it was thought to be impossible to cross the African rice and the Asian rice, because they are not different varieties, but different species.
Scientists therefore had to resort to an advanced tissue culture technique called embryo rescue.
Conceptually, it is not very different from the process typically performed at a fertility clinic for humans.
NERICA (which stands for New Rice for Africa) was developed this way to solve the food security problem in African drylands. It has been successfully adopted by many West African farmers and is now grown in other parts of Africa as well.
In 2011, NARI imported 78 NERICA varieties from the Africa Rice Centre to test their suitability for agroclimatic conditions in PNG.
The preliminary trials were conducted at the NARI Mamose regional centre, Bubia, Morobe Province.
Unfortunately, the conditions in Bubia were not optimal for NERICA.
Bubia is a very wet place and NERICA did not do well there. NERICA was developed for dry soils.
A decision was made, therefore, to move the trials to dryer locations. Three sites were selected, Gembazung Trukai Farm near Lae's Nadzab Airport, Aiyura in Eastern Highlands Province, and Laloki in Central Province.
In Gembanzung and Laloki, some of the NERICA varieties are growing very well. These promising lines will be further tested for adaptability in various locations.
It has been noted that most NERICA varieties are maturing earlier than conventional rice varieties, an important trait in times of drought.
NARI's ultimate goal for this project is to develop locally -adapted rice varieties using the genetic materials from NERICA.
NERICA lines can be crossed with conventional rice lines by trained scientists.
The training opportunity and funding were obtained from the United Nations University for this purpose in 2012.
A number of NARI personnel were trained in traditional breeding and screening for desirable characters, as well as more advanced technologies such as mutation breeding and anther culture.
Crossing between selected NERICA varieties and locally-favoured rice varieties is currently being conducted in the two stations.
NERICA can be considered a success story of rice breeding, transferring the drought tolerance of African rice to popular Asian rice.
Another success story appeared this year on the development of a super salt-tolerant rice line at International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines.
It took advantage of the salt tolerance of a wild rice species, Oryza coarctata found in Bangladesh and an IRRI scientist transferred the property to Oryza sativa.
When their breeding programme is finished, the new rice variety can be planted in saline-affected lands all over the world.
We should take note that PNG is a centre of origin of rice and a number of wild rice species have yet to be characterised and discovered.
Innovative thinking would easily make PNG a centre of research and development for novel rice varieties.... PACNEWS
