News of the Weird: The Continuing Crisis
By Chuck Shepherd
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | • Germany's Green Party temporarily transcended mainstream environmental goals in June and specially demanded that the government begin regulating sex toys such as dildos and vibrators. Those devices, it said, contain "dangerously high levels of phthalates" and other plastics that can cause infertility and hormone imbalances. The party called for sex-toy regulation that is at least as strong as the regulation of children's toys. [Spiegel Online, 7-1-2011]
• "This is a clear case where making something environmentally friendly works for us," said Lt. Col. Jeff Woods, the U.S. Army's product manager for small-caliber ammunition. He told Military.com in May that new steel-core 5.56mm cartridges not only "penetrate" (kill) more effectively, but are less environmentally toxic than current lead-core ammo. [Military.com, 5-5-2011]
• Judge Giuseppe Gargarella has scheduled trial for later this month in L'Aquila, Italy, for seven members of Italy's national commission on disaster risks who (though supposedly experts) failed to warn of the severity of the April 2009 central-Italy earthquake that killed 300 people. Judge Gargarella said the seven had given "contradictory information" and must stand trial for manslaughter. (One commission member had even recommended a high-end red wine that citizens should sip as they ignore small tremors -- which turned into a 6.3 magnitude quake.) [The Guardian (London), 5-26- 2011]
• The veterans' support organization Home for Our Troops had recently started to build a 2,700-square-foot house in Augusta, Ga., to ease life for Army Sgt. 1st Class Sean Gittens, who had suffered concussive head injuries in Afghanistan and is partially paralyzed. However, in June, the Knob Hill Property Owners Association, which had provisionally approved the design, changed its mind. "The problem is," one association member told the Augusta Chronicle, there are "5,000-square-foot homes all the way up and down the street" and that such a "small" house would bring down property values. "It just doesn't fit." [Augusta Chronicle, 6-22-2011]

A.M.'s review

Jan 16, 2012
bookshelves: 2012-challenge-list, fiction
Read from January 16 to 20, 2012
Room is a well-written but haunting book. The author does a masterful job of writing through the eyes of a young child, although there are times near the end of the novel where the language and perspective seemed too mature. The situation is disturbing, and the book's images will definitely heighten any fear and paranoia lurking in the subconscious of the reader - an effect that will last well after the last page has been turned.

Exhibition preview: The People's Business - 150 Years of The Co-operative Group, People's History Museum, Manchester, until May 11 2014
© The Co-operative Group
The People's Business – 150 Years of The Co-operative at the People's History Museum explores how The Co-operative grew from the Co-operative Wholesale Society (CWS) in Greater Manchester in 1863 to becoming the UK's largest mutual business, owned by more than seven million of its customers.
Objects include print advertisements for CWS-branded items, ranging from jam to tea and photographs showing Co-operative retail outlets, including a mobile unit run from a van. Interactives are dotted around the space allowing visitors to get involved and share their individual experiences and feedback.
© The Co-operative Group
The group's USP has been the way it does business and uses its profits. Often considered to be an ethical high street choice from banking to shopping, they have been pioneers in areas such as Fairtrade and combating climate change.
One of The Co-operative's most innovative ideas was the dividend, the principle of which reflected how co-operative societies are run for benefit rather than profit. Customers collected stamps on qualifying transactions, which could then be used as payment for goods or services. A pre-cursor to the now ubiquitous loyalty card schemes, Co-operative Membership now entitles members to a share in the profits.
The People's History Museum is a fitting venue for this exhibition exploring the evolution from a wholesaler in Manchester to a business group owning 85% of the co-operative retail businesses in the UK.
The museum originated from the Trade Union, Labour and Co-operative History Society, who began forming its collections in the 1960s. It displays the largest number of trade union and other banners in the world as well as housing a unique archive including collections of the Labour Party, the Communist Party of Great Britain and more.
Despite the turbulent times the group currently finds itself in, The People's Business reveals the fascinating story of not just The Co-operative, but also how its values and business practice has changed the way we shop and live.
- Open 10am-5pm (closed December 24-26 and January 1). Admission free. Follow the museum on Twitter @PHMMcr.

Monsanto, the TPP, and global food dominance
if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) passes, control over not just our food but our health, our environment and our financial system will be in the hands of transnational corporations. - See more at: http://www.intrepidreport.com/archives/11532#sthash.KyQnlwek.dpuf
"Control oil and you control nations," said US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in the 1970s. "Control food and you control the people."
Global food control has nearly been achieved, by reducing seed diversity with GMO (genetically modified) seeds that are distributed by only a few transnational corporations. But this agenda has been implemented at grave cost to our health; and if the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) passes, control over not just our food but our health, our environment and our financial system will be in the hands of transnational corporations. Profits before populations According to an Acres USA interview of plant pathologist Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, two modified traits account for practically all of the genetically modified crops grown in the world today. One involves insect resistance. The other, more disturbing modification involves insensitivity to glyphosate-based herbicides (plant-killing chemicals). Often known as Roundup after the best-selling Monsanto product of that name, glyphosate poisons everything in its path except plants genetically modified to resist it. Glyphosate-based herbicides are now the most commonly used herbicides in the world. Glyphosate is an essential partner to the GMOs that are the principal business of the burgeoning biotech industry. Glyphosate is a "broad-spectrum" herbicide that destroys indiscriminately, not by killing unwanted plants directly but by tying up access to critical nutrients. Because of the insidious way in which it works, it has been sold as a relatively benign replacement for the devastating earlier dioxin-based herbicides. But a barrage of experimental data has now shown glyphosate and the GMO foods incorporating it to pose serious dangers to health. Compounding the risk is the toxicity of "inert" ingredients used to make glyphosate more potent. Researchers have found, for example, that the surfactant POEA can kill human cells, particularly embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells. But these risks have been conveniently ignored. The widespread use of GMO foods and glyphosate herbicides helps explain the anomaly that the US spends over twice as much per capita on healthcare as the average developed country, yet it is rated far down the scale of the world's healthiest populations. The World Health Organization has ranked the US LAST out of 17 developed nations for overall health. Sixty to seventy percent of the foods in US supermarkets are now genetically modified. By contrast, in at least 26 other countries—including Switzerland, Australia, Austria, China, India, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Mexico and Russia—GMOs are totally or partially banned; and significant restrictions on GMOs exist in about sixty other countries. A ban on GMO and glyphosate use might go far toward improving the health of Americans. But the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a global trade agreement for which the Obama administration has sought Fast Track status, would block that sort of cause-focused approach to the healthcare crisis. - See more at: http://www.intrepidreport.com/archives/11532 |

Pittsburgh - It was a very good sign for the Brewers tonight that shortstop J.J. Hardy appeared ready to break loose at the plate.
Hardy, who entered the game with a .167 batting average and was 2-for-25 (.080) with runners in scoring position, went 3-for-3 -- all with RISP -- walked twice and drove in four runs to spark the Brewers to an 8-5 victory over Pittsburgh.
It was the Brewers' 17th consecutive victory over the Pirates, the longest such streak in the major leagues in 39 years. The Baltimore Orioles topped the expansion Kansas City Royals 23 times in a row from May 10, 1969 to Aug. 2, 1970.
"A lot of things have to go right for us and there's got to be some luck involved," said Hardy. "That's a pretty big accomplishment. I can remember when we couldn't win here."
None of the Pittsburgh pitchers was able to keep Hardy under control. He stroked an RBI single to left in the second inning, doubled in a run in the fourth and stroked a two-run hit to center in the sixth to help the Brewers build a 6-2 lead.
Hardy finished off his night with walks in his final two at-bats to reach base five times. Not bad for a slump-ridden hitter who was given two games off last weekend as a mental break.
"I don't know what it was but tonight I was able to relax a little bit and see the ball better," said Hardy, who boosted his batting average to .195.
"I've been trying to relax for awhile now and haven't been able to do it. When hits are hard to come by, it's nice to get them when people are on base. Hopefully, I can feel like this tomorrow and the next day."
The Brewers wouldn't mind that one bit.

Huella Verde Rainforest Lodge
Hotel Description
The Huella Verde Rainforest Lodge is an option for travelers looking for an opportunity to be at one with nature in a secluded, tranquil location in the Amazon rain forest. Two eco-friendly bungalows with space for four people each are hidden between the trees on the grounds of the property, each with a spacious private terrace and hammocks in which guests can relax and enjoy nature.
The Swiss couple who owns and manages the lodge has made sure that comfort and peace are foremost in their approach to running the accommodations, which have mosquito nets, orthopedic mattresses, and top-quality bedding. The lodge offers free Wi-Fi in the on-site restaurant.
Trips can be organized to local indigenous communities, and nature walks at night are also popular with guests. The Bobonaza River is a short walk from the lodge and makes a great place to take a dip in the water. Guests can be picked up from and returned to the town of Canelos.
Canelos is small town in the Amazonian region of Ecuador, and is a little over half a mile from away from the lodge. The area around the lodge exudes natural beauty, so the property's 120 acres present many opportunities for exploring the jungle and coming into direct contact with a variety of birds, animals, and other wildlife.
Food & Beverage
The on-site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Meals can be packed for guests going out on excursions. The cuisine centers on local produce and flavors, and the lodge's five-acre cocoa field provides chocolate for crepes, desserts, hot chocolate, and more.
There is also a barbecue and picnic area for cooking and eating in the outdoors. Fresh fruit-based cocktails along with other drinks are provided at the bar until late in the evening.

Actress Looks Radiant At Charity Luncheon In New York Cancel http://www.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/is-kajol-ageing-in-reverse-actress-looks-radiant-at-charity-luncheon-in-new-york-227664.html Prev Next 155909 Prev Next In a marriage-obsessed country like India, where dynasty politics has gripped every party , it is infact strange to see two bachelors being pitted against each other for the PM's post. So we looked around and found out the other unmarried politicians in the fray for the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections. BJP's PM in waiting is famously single. And the shrewd politician has used his single status to his advantage by pointing out Congress's dynastic rule. Modi, a strict vegetarian who says he "actually enjoys loneliness", has made a virtue of his de facto single status, saying it will help him clean up India's rampant corruption. "I've no familial ties. Who would I ever try to benefit through corruption?" he told a rally, claiming only those free of filial ties can end what opponents charge are years of corrupt rule by the Congress party. But the Gujarat CM is not without skeletons in his closet. There is a mysterious past-marriage, wife and renunciation of which nothing is known. Modi reportedly walked away from a marriage arranged when he was a child. He has never commented on the relationship, but the woman, 62-year-old retired school teacher Jashodaben, said recently that she didn't "feel bad" that she has never been acknowledged. She confirmed there was a marriage, which couldn't be successful as Modi joined the RSS- the Hindu group which frowns on marriage for its senior cadres. He also had plans of travelling across the country and higher ambitions, plans in which Jashodaben couldn't fit in. "I know he is doing so due to destiny," she told the Indian Express in February. Once one of India's most eligible bachelors and still the face of the youth brigade at age 43, Rahul Gandhi's marriage been a topic of speculation for quite some time now. Last year, he declared he did not want to wed, saying he feared he would "become status-quoist and want my children to take my place" and perpetuate his family's dominant political role. But last month, he said he would wed "when I find the right girl". "This is a question that comes all the time, all the time. Right now I am engaged in fighting the elections. Unfortunately I have not been focused on private life," he had said. In the past, he has been linked to foreign girlfriends, the most prominent one being Veronique Cartelli, an architect whom he met during his university time in England. The firebrand politician from West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee or Didi to her followers is also unmarried and has claimed in her public meetings that she has dedicated her entire life to the people of West Bengal. Tamil Nadu's beloved Amma, this actor-turned politician is still a spinster and has been the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for four times. She has often used her single status to underline the dynastic politics of DMK dominated by Karunanidhi's family members. But that didn't stop her from spending an obscene amount of money –Rs 6 crore, on her foster son T V Sudhakaran's marriage in 1996. BJP's firebrand sanyasan , Uma Bharti relationship status has been controversial to say the least. The ex-Union Minister was linked to party member K N Govindacharya whom she revealed had proposed to her prior to her Sanyas.In a magazine interview in 2000, Uma Bharti confessed that she was in love with him. "Yes, I was in love with him. I wanted to marry him. I used to chase him everywhere and I feel that he also loved me though he never told me so," Bharti was quoted as having said so in an interview to The Week magazine. "RSS chief Bhaurao Devras advised me that I should not marry for the sake of the masses and the country. So I gave up the idea," she added. Cut to the present, Bharti has declared that she is happily unmarried and would continue to do so. Behenji, as Mayawati is fondly called by her supporters is better known by her title Kumari. Kumari Maywati became the youngest politician to be elected chief minister in crazy political landscape that is Uttar Pradesh . Also hailed as the dalit queen, she is also famously single, having declared her dedication to her party Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and state. Having been ousted from power in the last state elections by the father son dup of Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav, her political clout in the harsh lands of the vote rich UP can make her an important player in the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections. Not unlike Rahul Gandhi, Naveen Patnaik was a reluctant politician He was (is) a writer and had for most part of his youth been away from both politics as well as Odisha but after his father Biju Patnaik's death he entered politics.And he has proven to be hugely popular with the masses which explains his win in three consecutive state elections. Naveen is also a bachelor and is known for telling his electorate that unlike the Congress family, there is no danger of his government indulging in family rule as he himself is unmarried and has no family.

Thread: Names that have been ruined...

Names that have been ruined...
There are some really lovely names out there that have been ruined for me by not so lovely people!
Rachel - I had a hard time at school and was really badly bullied by two girls named Rachel.
Ottilie- I joined beginning of December and have just caught up on the whole Ottilie saga. I loved this name (actually discovered it on here) but there's now a definite blot against it.
Liam- Horrid mean boy at school called Liam.
Jamie- a horrid ex and the reason I can't use James in the first name spot even though it's my grandfathers name (and DH's father and grandfathers name).
I'm hoping to meet some nice people who will redeem these names for me!!
Does anyone else have reasons for disliking nice names ?

Oh yeah. Arthur was going to be a second son's name but I had a horrid professor in graduate school that destroyed it for me. Now we're stuck for a boy name (if this one is a boy)
Mother of Gabriel Christian and Emrys Atticus.
The ones that got away:
Felicity, Anne, Iantha, Penelope, Elowen
Walter, Sebastian, Edmund, Arthur, Fredrick

Definitely have names I hate for no reason other than people I know.
Raymond -- Terribly abusive ex of mine
Tabitha -- I have not met one that wasn't a drug using, slutty bitch
Ramona -- Cody's step mother was Ramona and she was so very cruel to him.
Susanne -- His grandmother. Hates me for no reason and has called me all sorts of awful names, and she was cruel to him.
Crystal -- He lived with his mother for a few years and she was so abusive to him that I can't even touch his ears without him flinching from things she'd do
Anthony -- Cody's neglectful father (you can see the trend here)
Michael -- my abusive step father
Hunter -- very obnoxious boy from high school
And there are other names like Ambrose and that I can't love because of terrible book characters in books I love.
I have the opposite too. For example, I love Artemis/Artemus for a boy so much because of the Drizzt books and Artemis Entreri by RA Salvatore.http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Blackwood/e/B00SARZLFY -- My Amazon Author Page

Conceptual Framework for General Purpose Financial Reporting by Public Sector Entities: Measurement of Assets and Liabilities in Financial Statements
Exposure Draft
Conceptual Framework Exposure Draft (ED) 3, Measurement of Assets and Liabilities in Financial Statements, identifies the measurement concepts that should guide the IPSASB in the selection of measurement bases for International Public Sector Accounting Standards. The ED stresses the importance of selecting measurement bases that meet the objectives of financial reporting-decision making and accountability.
Many assets in the public sector are held for their operational capacity and, therefore, entry values that reflect the cost of purchase are likely to be adopted in many situations.
An At a Glance Publication provides an overview of Conceptual Framework Exposure Draft (ED) 3.

You go to a fancy restaurant and order the steak. You shell out $30USD, $50USD or more just for the meat alone; potatoes and drinks extra. It's an amazing, transcendent steak. You go home and try to reproduce it with less than stellar results. What went wrong? How do restaurants get their steaks so tender, so flavorful, so perfect?
The Grade: The best steakhouses and restaurants serve up the best, most expensive grades of beef.
In the United States, it is known as USDA Prime. Prime grade beef accounts for nearly 2% of all beef production in the United States. There are similar equivalents in all other countries. The demand for this high-quality beef makes it hard for you and I to purchase it at a regular grocery store. Since you probably can't find this, look for Choice grade beef for your steaks. It is very, very good, if not the best.
The Aging: Most fine restaurants age their beef to intensify the flavor and improve the tenderness of the cut. Aging is done by letting the meat sit (in very controlled conditions) for several days or weeks. This is a difficult process for the average person to perform because the risk of spoilage and food poisoning can be very high. You can, however, check with your local meat markets to try and find a source for aged beef. If you can't find it, don't worry. You can still get a great steak.
The Seasoning: Great steaks need little seasoning. However, every great steakhouse seasons the steaks they cook. Typically, a steak is seasoned with coarse ground black pepper, sea or kosher salt, parsley and butter. Yes, Butter. We'll get to the butter later, but it finds its way on to a number of steaks, but you have to add it at just the right time.
The Equipment: Most big steakhouses broil their steaks. Yes, there are few "grills" out there, though some restaurants may still grill their steaks in a way that you and I would recognize. However, many restaurants use overhead, infrared broilers that produce incredible temperatures to cook steaks. While you can buy similar equipment, it isn't necessary for a great steak. What you do need is incredibly high heat in direct contact with the meat. This is why you need:
The Pan: A basic, inexpensive cast iron pan is the steaks best friend. Heavy on the metal, able to hold a lot of heat, cast iron pans make the perfect steak. Infrared burners can radiate a lot of heat into a steak, but only by having contact with that intense heat can you cook the steak hot and fast enough to make it perfect. The basic process is to preheat the pan as hot as you can get it. Drop in the steak for two minutes. Flip, add butter and put the pan into a very hot preheated oven for about five more minutes depending on how you want your steak done.
This is a smoke filled process that can be done on your side burner and gas grill without flooding the house with smoke.
The Process: This process requires you to use pieces of metal that are heated to incredible temperatures. There will be splattering, smoke and possible fire. Be very careful. What happens here is that the pan sears the surface of the meat and immediately begins melting the fat. This fat fries the meat's surface causing caramelization. This makes the sweet of the meat even sweeter. The butter is going to add extra fat to the process and a rich, buttery flavor to the meat. What you get is a sweet, flavorful, mouth-watering steak.
The Experience: Nothing beats an experienced steak cook. If you are not experienced then you need practice. Pay close attention to every steak you cook. Prepare everything you can ahead of time. Learn from your mistakes. Record your thoughts and processes. Soon you too can be a great steak cook and amaze all of your guests.

Buy high quality Concealer online in the Philippines
"People will stare. Make it worth their while." – Harry Winston
Makeup is truly the most effective confidence booster for every lady. And a makeup kit is never complete without a concealer. Having the right concealer does not only cover your imperfections but also helps to beautify your makeup look.
- Concealer 101 – The beginner tips for applying concealer
- Choose the ideal concealer that does magic to your face
Concealer 101 – The beginner tips for applying concealer
- You have to master the use of both Foundation and Concealer when putting on makeup. While foundation acts as a base to your makeup, it is certainly not complete without a touch of concealer in an effort to build a flawless skin tone. The order of the steps depends on which type of foundation that you choose.
- Liquid foundation first then concealer.
- Concealer first then powder foundation.
- The basic step to create corrective makeup base is using concealer to cover your dark circles. Start by drawing a triangle right below your eye with the end point reaches your cheek then blend evenly. It will brighten up your face more naturally instead of filling it up in a circular blending motion.
- Use the remaining concealer (on your brush or finger) to dab on the eyelids to keep your eye shadow last longer without spending on an eye shadow primer.
- When covering your pimples, make sure to apply the green concealer using a clean brush in a single dap on the pimple spot first. After that, you can blend the concealer that matches your skin tone with a cotton swab without spreading the bacteria that could lead to even more pimples. On a side note, besides green concealer that is used for red spots like pimples and blemishes, there are two more concealer colours as follows:
- Peach shaded concealer is applied for the blue shadow under your eyes.
- Orange shaded concealer is applied for evening makeup to highlight your face.
- Concealer can also be used to define your eyeliner. Dip your angled brush in the same concealer that has been applied before and draw along the liner where you want to cover the mistakes.
Choose the ideal concealer that does magic to your face
Just like any other cosmetics, there are plenty of different concealers that serve different makeup needs. Knowing what works best for you is just as important as learning how to apply it on your face. Here is a brief guide to the most commonly used concealers.
- High coverage concealer
- Cream concealer: best for matte look as well as covering pimples
- Body Stick: a simple and easier way to cover tattoos, birthmarks and scars.
- Stick concealer: similar effect to cream concealer and more versatile to carry in your bag.
- Medium coverage concealer
- Pencil concealer: you can use it to create contours and highlights. The trick is: 2 shades darker for contouring and 2 shades brighter for highlighting.
- Liquid concealer: easy to use and blend to ensure even skin tone, especially suitable for beginners.
- Light coverage concealer
- Pen concealer with metal tip: best used for dark circles and the metal tip helps to avoid puffiness.
- Pen concealer with brush tip: it is versatile for fast concealing with a built in brush.
If you are looking for a new concealer bestie, here are some brands that have always been the talk of the town for you to consider:
Don't hesitate when it comes to investing in the right makeup kit. It has the power to uplift your confidence in a magical way. Up your makeup game with more dazzling colours, start with concealer on iprice Philippines!

Lebron played 46 minutes, it is understable if he does not want to bang too hard in the post. Cavs have no bench and for some reason did not play as hard on defence as in game 3. No team can win against Warriors if they allow 17 3pointers to go in. I am sure with Blatt at the helm they could have countered Warriors offense better, still Warriors this year are just too damn powerful.

Those are my two beautiful little boys, now two and eight years old, known as trouble, and more trouble :)
I made these with material I already had on hand. Have you ever bought button earrings from Walmart for a $1.00 or in my case after Christmas holiday earrings for only 25 cents a piece. The little plastic cases those earrings come in is what I used for this craft.
To make the pill boxes all you need to do is cut out a circle from a photo, or as I did as well, a plastic place mat. The idea is to make it tight enough that it will stay in the top of cap with out any glue.
I had this place mat left over from another craft so I decided to make a flower pill box with it. It is an inexpensive Better Homes and Garden mat from Walmart.
To make the necklace you will need either fused pearls found from the fabric department at Walmart or you could use jewelry chain or even ribbon. You will also need a small piece of felt.
Once you have your photo cut and picked out, hot glue the packaging sponge material that came with the earrings to the back of your photo.
Then hot glue your two ends of chain to the back and cover with your small circle of felt. This would be a fun project for a little kids party.
Now for the Give Away!!!!
One lucky winner will get both of these pretty headbands I made. One stretchy lace one for a baby girl and the pearl one should fit most girls up to about age 8. It actually fits my big melon but is a little tight. Surprisingly my shop is filled with ladies and girls accessories when I have only boys at home. So I do understand some folks like me don't have little girls, but you could always gift these. If you win and would like to have them gift wrapped and mailed to someone else, I would be happy to do that for you.
To win this headband set, simply leave a comment for each entry:
-Become a follower of The Hungry Hungry Hypo
-Visit Mindie's shop, then come back and let us know which item is your favorite.

An interactive installation which aims to create a sonification of stars and constellations data through a dedicated interface. Since there's no sound in space, I wanted to to conceptualize a link between electromagnetic and sound waves allowing visitors to learn about specific stars through sound information. Two players can use the system at the same time, by moving their right hands over the two black, circular sensors. The data rendered for each star are: temperature (color index: red star = old and cold, blue star = hot and young), brightness (as seen from Earth), distance (from Earth) respectively mapped into: frequency (Hz), amplitude (dB), duration (ms). The project has been developed using Arduino, Leap Motion and Max7.

I am SOOOO excited about this, not only will it solve my terminal indecisiveness (I can never decide what to do with my nails) but it will also challenge me to do designs that I haven't yet tried, and get better at techniques I can already (sort of) manage.
What do you think of the challenge? Will be joining in?
p.s. Did I mention how ridiculously EXCITED I am about this? YAY!!! :)

Oh my gosh this is so exciting!
I'm not keeping the same schedule as yours because I only recently developed my passion for nail art from "oh look, pretty nails" to "I must teach myself all this jargon and go all-out, all the time"
Haha the point of this is, I want to do this challenge. It is how I keep myself interested/motivated, and I do it for other things too. Ambitious writing/design projects...so I figured why not a nail art extension.
If you want to keep track, I'm setting everything up on http://nailspark.wordpress.com/This is genius! I don't have the time to commit to any of the daily challenges out there but weekly I can do! I will probably almost definitely be trying this out. If I do I'll probably change the week numbers so week 1 is the week I start but I won't change the date/theme order and I'll post a link to your blog giving you credit (if that's ok with you).
ReplyDeleteI really want to participate in this, have since I found the RedditLaquerista subreddit but it's soo late in the year! Do you think it'll be looping around in October? I don't want to miss out on all the great themes I've been looking through.

Examining two methods of Full Costing
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The concept of full costing is not to look into individual costs, for example variable costs, but to look at the whole picture and all the costs that are associated with achieving some objective, i.e. making a product, or providing a service. The logic of full costing is that all of the costs of running a particular facility, for example a building, are part of the cost of the output of that building. For example, the rent is a fixed cost that will not alter if we only produce one unit, but if the building were not rented then there would be nowhere for production to take place, therefore rent is an important element in the cost of each unit of output.
'Full costing: Deducing the total direct and indirect (overhead) cost of pursuing some activity or objective'
Now we have a reasonable understanding of what full costing entails, we can look at some of the many methods of it. The two most renowned methods of full costing are Activity Based Costing, otherwise known as ABC, and Absorption Costing. Both of these methods are practiced in business today, as ways of allocating overheads to associated units of production. Absorption Costing is looked upon as being the more traditional approach, which has been updated with ABC. Both of these methods of full costing have their benefits and drawbacks, which I will look into over the course of this essay. But in order to fully understand each method, we need to first define what each one means. Absorption Costing can be defined as,
'The allocation of specific pools or groups of fixed costs to associated units of production by a predetermined percentage or pound amount, based on unit cost, machine or labour hours, or other factors'. (http://www.bridgefieldgroup.com/glos1.htm)
Like any other factor, Absorption Costing has its advantages and disadvantages, for example, as mentioned above, it
uses predetermined overhead rates to allocate fixed overheads to production. In the long-run, for a business to make any profits, sales must cover all the product's costs. By including fixed overheads in the product's costs, the long-run sales price can be set to cover all costs, including fixed overheads. As we can see this is one of the major advantages in Absorption Costing, as it really stresses the importance of fixed costs. Also by allocating costs to the production units, Absorption Costing works out the entire production cost for a product. Absorption Costing is thought to be more appropriate for seasonal business, as it prevents the reporting of false or inaccurate losses.
Although Absorption Costing is a recognised way for allocating costs to production, and is used by many industries today it does have its drawbacks. The predetermined rates imply to some managers that a fixed overhead is a variable cost. For example, if the predetermined rate for a fixed overhead is £5 per direct labour hour, it is possible to conclude (wrongly) that fixed overheads vary with changes in direct labour hour usage. Product lines may be dropped based on this assumption even though the products contribute to the overall positive cash flow of the firm. For this reason it is much harder for management to understand and interpret, and therefore can lead to flawed decision making.
Activity Based Costing, the other method of full costing, can be defined as,
'A technique for more accurately relating overheads to specific production or provision of a service. It is based on acceptance of the fact that overheads do not just occur but are caused by activities, such as holding the products in store which 'drive' the costs.' (Accounting: An Introduction, McLaney &Atrill (2002) Page 559)
Activity Based Costing is considered to be a more updated and improved version of Absorption Costing, but like Absorption Costing it also has its drawbacks. Some of the benefits of Activity Based Costing are that it spots those customers, products and departments that are contributing the most and least profit to the organisation. From this information managers can see areas of strength and weakness within the business and thus make decisions regarding how the business is handled and organised. From this information managers can also predict costs, profits and requirements associated with changes in production, structure and costs. ABC additionally tracks the costs of activities and the development of work through the business, highlighting areas of high expenditure. Managers are able to analyse results from ABC and discover the areas that need improvement.
The drawbacks of ABC are also apparent, the whole process involved in ABC, i.e. analysis of overheads and identifying cost drivers is time-consuming and costly. It is argued that the cost and effort put into this process does not outweigh the benefits and so does not justify carrying it out. ABC is also criticised about its ability to provide relevant information for managers to carry out decision-making, as the results show past costs and not opportunity costs.
'Past costs are irrelevant in decision making and opportunity costs can be very significant, full costing information is an expensive irrelevance' (Accounting: An Introduction, McLaney &Atrill (2002) Page 329)
Despite the drawbacks and criticisms of ABC and Absorption Costing, they are widely used in business today as a means of allocating direct and indirect costs to an activity or objective.

Need a Mic for basic measuring.
Hi all,
Need some suggestions for a decent accurate mic for some basic Frq x SPL measuring. I'm not designing or taking harmonic distortion plots. I looked at a basic mic from LinearX for $175, but that might be double my price range for my basic needs. I have eyed off this Samson mic on ebay. Samson MM01 RTA Measuring Condenser Microphone - eBay Wired Microphones, Microphones, Pro Audio Equipment, Musical Instruments. (end time 04-Oct-10 15:33:46 AEDST) Any thoughts on this mic or anyother suggestions are welcomed. Richard |

geez :/, can i use another amp to boost the signal?, actually, i had previously built a very simple in/out pre-amp for my guitars to use on through my hi-fi system. I am currently using this pre-amp with a musical/vocal microphone for my garage band, it boost the output of the mic, sounds balanced and OK, BUT it gives a electrical discharge to the mic's protective gauze(earth), so we are careful not to touch it with our lips. Maybe this could be used?? or not, i'll measure the voltage delievered to the earth. see what the story is there.
And the phantom power if so, is there another way i can power it? i know the LinearX mics can be used with a transformer power pack. Can i use a power pack with this particular mic? Richard |
