Tuttle Publishing, originally the Charles E. Tuttle Company, is a book publishing company that includes Tuttle, Periplus Editions, and Journey Editions.[3][4] A company profile describes it as an "International publisher of innovative books on design, cooking, martial arts, language, travel and spirituality with a focus on China, Japan and South East Asia."[5] Many of its books on Asian martial arts, particularly those on Japanese martial arts, were the first widely read publications on these subjects in the English language.[6]
Publisher and book dealer Charles E. Tuttle (1915–1993) founded the company in 1948 in Tokyo, Japan, with the aim of publishing "books to span the East and West."[3][6][7] It was the 31st corporation approved by the occupying Allied administration.[6] In its first year of operation, the company imported and distributed U.S. paperback publications to the occupying forces, and the next year, it released its first publication.[6] From 1951, it published many books on the Japanese language, arts, and culture, as well as translations of Japanese works into the English language.[6]
In 1953, part of the company was separated to form a new, partially owned company, Yohan, which took on responsibility for distributing U.S. paperback books and magazines.[6] The Charles E. Tuttle Company retained responsibility for distributing UK publications.[6] In 1991, under chief executive Peter Ackroyd,[a] a planned acquisition of the Atlantic Monthly Press failed to eventuate.[8][9] According to executives, "Tuttle, which specializes in Japanese and other Asian books, came to feel that it was putting its existing business at risk by acquiring Atlantic."[9] In 1996, the company changed its name to Tuttle Publishing.[10]
Since its founding, Tuttle has published more than 6,000 books and today maintains an active backlist of around 2,000 titles.[citation needed] The company now produces 150 new titles each year, most of which still focus on the areas of Asian interest that Tuttle has long been known for—everything from Asian literature and language learning to cooking, art, crafts, and design.[11]
The company's founder, Charles Egbert Tuttle, Jr., was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard University.[6] He enlisted in the U.S. military and was stationed in Japan immediately after World War II, working on General Douglas MacArthur's staff. His job, among other things, was to help revive the Japanese publishing industry after the war.[6] After his military service was completed, he decided to stay on in Japan and set up his own business importing English-language books and magazines and exporting rare Japanese antiquarian books to U.S. libraries.
Tuttle came from a distinguished New England publishing family.[6][12] His father ran Tuttle Antiquarian Books[citation needed]—one of several Tuttle companies in Rutland, Vermont, that had been involved with printing and publishing since the 1830s. At university, he studied American history and literature.[6] After graduating in 1937, he worked in the library of Columbia University for a year, then joined the family business.[6][7] His interest in publishing 'quality' books about Japan and Asia, and his keen eye for design and editorial matters as a publisher, grew out of an appreciation for the valuable antiquarian books that he dealt with as a youth.[11]
Current status[edit]
Tuttle's current publisher and CEO is Singapore resident Eric Oey.[13] Oey is a nephew of Charles E. Tuttle.[14]
According to UNESCO (2002, 2007), Tuttle Publishing is the most active publisher of books teaching Japanese to the English-speaking world, and English to the Japanese-speaking world.[15][16] The company has also published books on Tagalog.[17] The company publishes more than 40 products that teach Chinese, 20 that teach Korean, 20 for Indonesian, and numerous products on other Asian languages such as Burmese, Cambodian, Lao, Malay, Thai, and Vietnamese. Tuttle published its first Arabic phrasebook in 2004[18] and, in 2009, its first introduction to Modern Standard Hindi.[19]
In 2010, out of the company's top 20 best-selling books, 11 were martial arts titles.[20] Tuttle Publishing had estimated annual sales of $2.5–$5 million U.S., and a staff of around 40 people.[10] It had offices in North Clarendon (in Vermont, USA), Singapore, Tokyo, and Jakarta.[3] Leading officers are in the U.S. are Michael Sargent (General Manager), David Loseby (Finance Executive), and Christopher Johns (Sales & Marketing Director).[10]
In September, 2012, Tuttle announced that it would move its fulfillment operation to Simon & Schuster, resulting in the layoff of 16 employees in its Vermont operation.[21] By late 2013, subsequent departures left a staff of 18.

The summer season us upon us, and with that comes high UV index ratings! We have heard it preached to us over, and over, and over again that we need to be protecting ourselves from the sun and the damage it can do to our skin. Skin cancer is the biggest and scariest concern when it comes to sun damage, but I'm not going to talk to you today about that. (if you want some info on it though you can go here) Today I am going to discuss the role the sun plays in aging our skin. We constantly hear how SPF is our best anti-aging defence, but I wanted to know how much truth there was to it. So I did something horrifying… I went and had my skin analyzed by VISIA, which is a imaging system that takes pictures of your skin using cross-polarized lighting to allow you to view and analyze 8 different skin conditions on 3 different layers of the skin. As I said… HORRIFYING.
Now before I show you the results, let me give you a little back info on myself, and my history with the sun. I am 28 years old. I am fair skinned. I live in Canada, so we have a high UV index for a couple months of the year. As a child my mother slathered me with so much sunscreen (or "scunscreen" as I used to call it) that it couldn't even be rubbed in. In my mid teens I did the tanning bed thing for a few years. And from 19-20 I lived in Australia, but I did use sunscreen on my face when I was there. Then from about 20-24 NO sunscreen, I was back in Canada and hardly spent any time outside. After 24 we had a cottage, I had Parker and I was taking better care of myself so I started wearing sunscreen regularly, but only from May-September.
So I went into the room, full anxiety, and stuck my head into this machine…
The first result to pop up was analyzing my wrinkles…
(Yes I know I need my brows waxed bad) So basically all those little green lines show actual damaged areas where wrinkles are beginning to form in the dermal layer of the skin, beyond surface dehydration lines. The darker the link the deeper the wrinkle. As it turns out I have 91% FEWER wrinkles then woman in my age group!!!! I attribute this to religiously following an advanced skincare routine. So far so good right!
Next up was the actual UV damage assessment…
The black and white picture shows the UV damage just under the surface of the skin, whereas the sepia toned image shows the damage that has reached the dermal layer. They masked the side of my face to highlight the damage in that specific area, but you can still see the damage on the rest of my face. The darker the spot, the more damage there is.. and LOOK at my forehead, I am CRINGING. It turns out that even though I have 91% fewer wrinkles then woman in my age group, I actually only have less UV damage then 46% and that my friends is a big fat fail!!! This is not good. It looks like my tanning bed days erased the fact that I lived the first half of my life in a sunscreen bodysuit.
But we weren't done yet, they still had to show me what my skin would look like in 7 years if I carried on not properly protecting myself from the sun. And I am only sharing this with you so that you will realize how important sun protection is to prevent aging of the skin. In fact, as it turns out 90% of skin aging is caused by the sun…
YOU GUYS I LOOK 100 YEARS OLD!!! (I'll only be 35) Look at the unevenness! Look at the wrinkles! Look at the brown spots! Look at the dull uneven texture! NOT COOL. I cried in the Uber on the way home. But once I got home I came up with a plan to prevent this from happening so quickly. If you are not using proper sun protection because you aren't all that worried about skin cancer because it "probably won't happen to you" (newsflash, it CAN) then I am telling you right now this aging thing WILL happen to you, and using proper sun protection will slow it down dramatically.
I have come up with a list of 10 of the best sun protection tips, and things I have immediately put into effect for myself AND my children. Please remember that the majority of sun exposure does happen in your childhood, and sun damage is cumulative. Meaning any damage that happens to your children skin now stays with them for the rest of their lives.
10 Sun Protection Tips
- Always, Always, ALWAYS wear SPF and remember to REAPPLY – During summer and winter, in any and all weather conditions. Clouds only block 10% of UV rays. A minimum of SPF30 is recommended, this is your best defence against UV damage. If you are saying to yourself "but I never burn" then you need to change your mindset; stop thinking of SPF as anti-burning, and start thinking of it as ANTI-AGING! Dermatologist are recommending 1 full once of sunscreen on your body and 1 full teaspoon for your face. *If you are NOT applying this much then you are not getting the full SPF protection rating listed on the bottle!!!!!
- Don't Forget your neck/chest/hands – In cooler months don't forget to use protection on your hands, neck, and chest. These parts of your body are just as frequently exposed to the sun as your face. Besides the face they are typically the first parts of the body to show the signs of aging AND the hardest to get rid of!
- Put your SPF on before your clothes – If you are going to be spending time in the sun, try putting lathering up before you get dressed. You are more likely to miss spots when trying to maneuver around clothes. (I ALWAYS do this for my kids)
- Don't Wait – SPF takes about 20-30 minutes to sink into the skin and take affect. By applying right before you head outside, you are basically in the sun for 20-30 minutes with NO protection. Using Tip #3 should give your SPF sufficient time to be absorbed!
- Layer your SPF – No matter what rating of SPF you are using, a certain percentage of UV rays are still going to enter your skin. While layering you SPF wont increase the rating (wearing SPF30 onto of SPF50 wont add up to SPF 80) it will filter the more UV rays out as it goes through the layers so overall a lower percentage of rays make their way into your skin. So just because your moisturizer says SPF-whatever, it is STILL beneficial for you to add another SPF on top!
- Use a powder SPF – So you know you need to reapply your sunscreen, but how are you expected to reapply on your face when you are wearing make-up? Enter the powder SPF! A lot of suncare brands have identified this issue and are now making powder SPF's. Some come in translucent and others have some tint to them. You can simply just dust it over your face when it is time to reapply. Not only with this help keep you protected, but it will help cut down your shine as well!
- Use SPF Lip balm – Our poor lips are usually often forgotten until there is a problem with them. But remember your lips are skin and need to be protected from the sun just like the rest of your body. Put on an SPF lip balm under your lipstick or gloss to keep them protected! And don't forget to reapply it before touching yourself up!
- Always wear a hat – The bigger the brim the better! It will help block some UV rays from reaching your face (this was the biggest thing the dermatologist that did my skin assessment stressed to me for when I would be spending time in the sun) An added bonus is that it will protect the skin on your scalp!
- Avoid the sun during peak hours – The stronger the UV rays, the more damage they can do! Peak hours are usually between 10:00am-3:00pm. So it is best to plan all your outdoor activities, especially for children, in the early morning, or late afternoon. But if you need to be outside during these hours, take all necessary precautions to protect yourself from the sun. OR you could always check your local weather network for UV index predictions, and then try to plan your activity for a day that will have a lower overall rating
- Keep your SPF fresh – Sunscreen has a shelf life, the longer it sits around, the less effective it will become. Make sure you are checking the expiry dates on your bottles! I highly recommend just tossing your old SPF's and starting fresh at the beginning of each sunny season when the UV index reaches peak highs.
Hopefully you are now convinced that it is time to step up your sun protection game. It is one thing to hear it preached, but it is another thing to see what kind of damage is happening first hand. It really helps you to realize the importance. If you want to know what kind of products I am using to protect myself and my family this summer, follow me on instagram. Each Sunday, from now until Labour Day, I will be sharing a different one of my favourite sun protection products in my stories!

Carniola (kärnēō´lə), Croatian Kranj, historic region, in Slovenia. The history of this largely mountainous area is closely linked with that of Slovenia. The first known inhabitants, a Celtic tribe called the Carni, were displaced by the Romans, who made Carniola part of their province of Pannonia. Slovenes settled Carniola in the 6th cent. Charlemagne later incorporated it into his empire. The region became a march, or margraviate, under Bavarian suzerainty in the 10th cent. and in 1269 was acquired by Bohemia. It passed to the Austrian Hapsburgs in 1282 and was made (1364) a titular duchy. In 1849 its status was raised to a crown land. Ljubljana was its chief city. After World War I, Carniola was divided between Italy and Yugoslavia, but the Italian part passed to what was then Yugoslavia's constituent republic of Slovenia in 1947.

As I mentioned out in my March post about mercury in CFLs, many CFLs made by leading manufacturers in China are produced in fully automated factories where no worker is exposed to mercury. But there are also many smaller manual factories, in which the phosphors and mercury are administered by hand. The Times Online article 'Green' lightbulbs poison workers confirms this information:
"In southern China, compact fluorescent lightbulbs destined for western consumers are being made in factories that range from high-tech multinational operations to sweat-shops, with widely varying standards of health and safety." [1]As I pointed out, hand-dripping risks more mercury being injected into each CFL than the specified limit. VITO, the consultant firm hired by the European Commission to do the preparatory study before the ban, found this procedure to be the likely explanation for the widely varying mercury content in sampled CFLs:
"VITO performed a control on the mercury content of a limited sample CFLi's, currently available on the market. The control was made by atomic fluorescence spectrometry, conform CMA 2/I/B.3." (Sampe 1: 1.8mg; sample 2: 1.1mg; sample 3: 6.4mg; sample 4: 3.5mg, sample 5: 0.28mg.) "It must be stated that sample #3 significantly exceeded the maximum allowed mercury content. This is probably caused by the cheap but inaccurate method of mercury filling (drip filling) that seems to be very common in most small far eastern production plants." [2]I also warned that this manual dripping will poison workers, as mercury vapourises at room temperature (+20 degrees Celsius). Now this is exactly what has happened!
"Large numbers of Chinese workers have been poisoned by mercury, which forms part of the compact fluorescent lightbulbs." [1]Also, mercury mines in China are being reopened to meet the increased Western demand for CFLs!
"A surge in foreign demand, set off by a European Union directive making these bulbs compulsory within three years, has also led to the reopening of mercury mines that have ruined the environment." [1]1. 'Green' lightbulbs poison workers

Mercury contamination of your home
As if this is not bad enough, it appears that a broken CFL at home is actually more cause for worry than previously thought.
After the now infamous (and cited ad nauseam) accident in Maine, the Maine DEP had its own science team test how much mercury is actually left in a room after breaking a CFL on floors with and without carpets, which resulted in revised cleanup recommendations:
Revised Cleanup Guidance
Maine Compact Fluorescent Lamp Breakage Study (the original report)
Mercury in CFLs - special investigation (long and scary reading, including summary of the Maine Report + interviews & addintional info collected by Invesitate Magazine TV, New Zeeland)
New Electric Politics: The mercury issue (shorter summary of the summary)
Some quotes from the Investigate Magazine summary [with my emphases]:
"First off, the often-cited claim that bulbs contain only 5mg of mercury was clarified: it's an average. (..) The average amount of mercury in a CFL is 5 mg with a range of 0.9 to 18 mg. Obviously, the smaller (in watts) the bulb, the less mercury. Higher power (brighter) bulbs generally have more, although there can be fluctuations between brands as well."
"'Mercury concentration in the study room air often exceeds the Maine Ambient Air Guideline (MAAG) of 300 nanograms per cubic meter (ng/m3) for some period of time, with short excursions over 25,000 ng/m3, sometimes over 50,000 ng/m3, and possibly over 100,000 ng/m3 from the breakage of a single compact fluorescent lamp,' the report confirms.
"That's up to 300 times higher than the recommended safe level of inhalable mercury vapour. From just one light bulb. According to the DEP scientific study, while the 300 ng/m3 limit is the maximum allowable daily dose of mercury for the sake of legislation, there is in fact no known safe level for mercury exposure."
"To put the exposure in perspective, a study of workers who had been exposed on a regular basis to 33,000 nanograms/m3 of mercury (roughly a third of the 100,000 ng/m3 peak caused by a broken bulb), and compared in a neurological test to a control group of 70 unexposed people, found they scored worse on 'mental arithmetic, 2-digit search, switching attention, visual choice reaction time and finger tapping'."
"'Sensitive populations are of particular concern with mercury exposures for a number of reasons.' 'Elderly and unhealthy individuals may already be at comprised health and be more susceptible to mercury effects than a healthy individual. For example, mercury does kidney damage which could exacerbate an already existing kidney disease'."
"'Infants and toddlers have much more vulnerable brains.' 'Mercury exposures have serious impacts on fetal and infant brain development. Elemental mercury can cross the placenta from a mother to fetus.' 'It is well established that the developing organism may be much more sensitive than the adult to neurotoxic agents,' reports Maine's DEP study. 'For example, methylmercury exposure can produce devastating effects in the fetus, including cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, and even death, while producing no or minimal effects in the mother'."
"The report also noted that following official clean-up guidelines was still not good enough to eliminate the pollution. 'Although following the pre-study cleanup guidance produces visibly clean flooring surfaces for both wood and carpets (shag and short nap), all types of flooring surfaces tested can retain mercury sources even when visibly clean. Flooring surfaces, once visibly clean, can emit mercury immediately at the source that can be greater than 50,000 ng/m3. Flooring surfaces that still contain mercury sources emit more mercury when agitated than when not agitated. This mercury source in the carpeting has particular significance for children rolling around on a floor, babies crawling, or non mobile infants placed on the floor'."
"[T]he scientists note that the mercury contamination was considerably worse – nearly double in fact – at summertime temperatures (32C) than winter (23C)."
"Additionally (and this is why carpets have to be destroyed), the scientific team repeatedly vacuumed carpets where bulbs had broken, to see if vacuuming did eliminate the residue. They found that even after several attempts, the mercury was still trapped in the carpet fibres. To make matters worse, some of the vacuum cleaners were so contaminated that cleaning them was impossible, meaning not only was the carpet over and out, so was the vacuum cleaner."
"'If clothing or bedding materials come in direct contact with broken glass or mercury-containing powder from inside the bulb that may stick to the fabric, the clothing or bedding should be thrown away,' warns the US EPA."
"Maine state government is now officially recommends (...) that 'homeowners consider not utilizing fluorescent lamps in situations where they could easily be broken, in bedrooms used by infants, small children or pregnant women, or over carpets in rooms frequented by infants, small children or pregnant women.'
"Then there's the problem of what to do with the toxic waste. Surprisingly, plastic jars, like large peanut butter containers with screw top lids were little better than plastic bags, also failing to prevent mercury vapour from leaking into the house. The best method of containing bulb waste is inside a glass jar with a hermetically sealed lid."
"Brandy Bridges: 'They're not as eco-friendly as we'd like to think. Just the fact that they're being shipped in trucks and who knows how many cases get dropped? You're in your local hardware store, and they're broken on the floor, and you're walking by unknowing that there's mercury there, that people are just walking by and breathing in, and a lot of people don't have a clue'."
"Perhaps the most dangerous aspect to the CFL mercury issue, however, is not the instant 'spike' exposure caused by a breakage, but the effect of a string of breakages over the years on the toxicity of suburban homes. Picture a low income family (...) forced to use CFLs because of the light bulb ban and because they cannot afford even more expensive halogens. Picture a breakage, then try and estimate the odds of a stressed out (or drugged up) householder following proper clean-up and disposal procedures.
"Then picture a few more breakages over the years, none of them dealt with properly. Then try and figure out how much mercury might accumulate in the carpets, floorboards and walls of such a house over a 20 year span. Then try and figure out the impact such poisoning might have on every family that moves through that house, and how many taxpayer dollars might be wasted dealing with the health or crime problems that erupt downstream because of mercury exposure.I couldn't agree more. And I don't see how any responsible politician or environmental organisation could either, after getting this new information.
"When you buy a house or move into a rental, you won't know whether the home you're moving into is contaminated by mercury, unless you go to the extreme expense of getting it tested. Your safety, and your family's safety, will rely on the ability and willingness of other ordinary [citizens] to properly dispose of mercury laden light bulbs, and you'll never really know. The real cost is not one light bulb breakage, but how badly affected homes will be after 20 years of amateur attempts to clean up one of the deadliest neurotoxins on the planet. A generation of children crawling on mercury-infested carpets would give new meaning to the phrase, "dumbed-down".
"On the strength of these scenarios alone, there's a good case for actually banning the use of CFLs in homes, outright and immediately."

For those who still believe that incandescent bulbs "cause more mercury emissions via coal plants", please understand that it is nothing but a cheap PR trick which seems to originate from the pro-CFL/anti-lightbulb lobby organisation IAEEL 1993, and based alternately on:
1. U.S. conditions in which, at that time, 59% of electricity production came from coal. [1] June 2008 it was 48,5% and decreasing. [2]
2. A Danish 'study' (= calculation excercise) from 1991 [3] in which a 60W (730 lm) 1000h incandescent (GLS) was compared with a 15W (900 lm) 8000h CFL, the latter assumed to contain 0.69 mg mercury, while electricity production from coal was assumed at 95%, as was the case in Denmark at that time - the highest in Europe! [4]. Based on these assumptions, CFLs were estimated to emit 1.69 mg mercury per million lumen-hour during production, operation and crapping phase, and incandescents 4.86 mg. However, these figures were seriously flawed then, and are even more so today:
a. "0.69 mg mercury" in CFLs is seems like a random fantasy figure, especially back in 1991! In 1993, IAEEL estimated CFLs to contain an average of 5 mg. [1] Eu consultants VITO consider 4 mg to be a realistic average now. [5] (Both are extremely pro-CFL and are not likely to exaggerate.)
b. According to EuroStat, the EU share of coal used in electricity production was 39% in 1991 and has since decreased to 29% in 2006 (though varying widely between different countries). [6]
Correcting for a and b (while still assuming the 15W CFL to give as much light as a 60W GLS and lasting 8 times longer) we get:
- GLS operation phase: 4.86 mg - 66% = 1.65 mg (as long as EU permits unfiltered coal emissions) = total 1.65 mg Hg on average. (In countries that don't use fossil fuels for electricity production, like Luxembourg, Iceland, Norway, Sweden & Switzerland, the sum total is 0.)
- CFL operation phase: 1 mg - 66% = 0.34 mg + scrapping phase (assuming no recycling): 4 mg = total 4.34 mg Hg.
In other words, when feeding correct numbers into the calculation, we get the opposite result!

Excerpt from "The Butterfly Waltz"
Sinful Pleasures
The phone rang and Michael's muscles tensed. He stared into her pleading eyes for a moment, his hand hovering over the piece of plastic. "I'm really sorry, honey. I need to take this." He pushed her off his lap and scooped the phone from the table, placing it to his ear. "Rob, talk to me."
Amy stood, unmoving apart from the clenching and unclenching of her fists. Getting out of bed to work on the day he'd promised to her was bad enough, but to push her away as if she meant nothing…. What to do? Her mind spiralled. Earlier she'd been capable of walking away, but now she'd had a taste of what was missing and it tore into her heart like a dagger. She took a step back, reaching for the door handle, her eyes never leaving the back of his head.
You're not seriously giving up are you?
Her hand faltered on the cold metal.
Who is more important, you or them?
I am, she told herself. He's not going to do this. Come on, girl, you love a challenge. Amy moved around the chair into Michael's line of sight. He placed a hand in the air, fingers splayed. No, five minutes wouldn't do anymore. From now on, if Amy wanted attention, Amy would damn well get it.
Ignoring the hand gesture, she knelt in front of him, her hands deftly undoing his jeans. He stared down at her, eyes wide, his lips mouthing the word 'no' as she moved from button to button. He was hard already. His erection pushed against the faded denim and she rubbed her hand against him, letting her nails grate over the top of the taut fabric. A hissing sound escaped from his mouth and he scrunched his eyes closed at her touch. Placing a hand over the receiver, Michael whispered, "Please, don't."
"Stop? I wasn't going to," she replied, a smile playing across her face as she slid her fingers through the opening in the jeans and wrapped them around his shaft.

In end of March 2017, we're launching Mind Lab Kids – an online portal that lets kids take their Mind Lab experience home with them. Seven to 12 year-olds across New Zealand (and beyond) will soon have access to a wide range of home-friendly challenges and experiments that're just as exciting and educational as those they conquer in our labs.
Reason being…?
- First off, kids are absolutely gutted when they leave our labs, they want more. Here it is!
- We often have parents asking us for Mind Lab-style experiments they can do at home
- Parents also tell us how their kid goes straight home and gets busy testing out what they learnt that day
- We want to see parents become more involved in their kid's learning journey, using low-cost materials and standard home technologies. We want to break down the barriers of technology so you can truly see what your little one is capable of!
- We want to show how our 3 pillars – Science, Technology & Discovery – can become pillars of the home too
- We're constantly amazed by the passion, engagement, excitement, enthusiasm and confidence that kids demonstrate at The Mind Lab, and we want you to see your little one experience that same thrill at home
In simple terms, we want to give kids more. More opportunities to master Mind Lab challenges. Greater freedom to explore, in their own time and with you by their side. More ways in which they can extend their limits, unlock their potential, and grow into the inventors, innovators, makers, doers and entrepreneurs of the future (or whatever they want to be)!
Skills they will put to good use:
A bit about what the kids will be able to do on the website
First things first, create a profile
- Profile name, pic, email + address
- Profile information will only be seen by the profile owner
- A summary profile – ie: profile name + pic & videos uploaded will be seen by people who wish to follow the profile owner (and that you accept)
Next, dive straight in! Choose a challenge.

Bees have been voting for 20-50 million years and seem to have found a much better way of making decisions than our so-called "democratic" process of first-past-the-post voting.
In fact, the bees' voting system appears to find the best answer (or candidate) about 90% of the time, whereas our current democratic system only achieves the right answer about 32% of the time.
So if we are going to create a new political system around things local AND make better decisions, then the bees' voting system would be a good place to start! Range Voting seems to get quite a long way to this goal and produces the best candidate about 79% of the time.
In the UK at the last election, the winning party only managed to secure 17% of the overall votes that could have been cast. On that Election day, only 34% of the population actually cast a vote. So, not only is the voting itself ineffective at getting the best candidate, but the majority of the population don't even turn out to vote anyway.
Ah yes, you might well say, there are lies, damned lies and statistics. But the bees don't care. They simply get on and dance their way to finding the location for a new hive! They also dance their way to finding new sources of nectar and pollen in a similar fashion.
Perhaps if we combined a Range Voting system with a village or community dance on polling day, we could get nearer to the bees' very efficient voting system – as well as a better turn-out!

Is buying and selling a home in Massachusetts really that different from other states?
According to Boston.com, a Massachusetts real estate lawyer has a unique role when it comes to buying and selling real property in the state.
Sam Schneiderman, owner of Greater Boston Home Team, explained the differences to Boston.com writer, Rona Fischman.
One big difference, according to Schneiderman, is the fact that escrow companies do not hold the funds while the home sale is closing.
To back up a bit-- when buying a home, the initial deposit for the home is held in a "trust" account, called an escrow account. The escrow account is a type of third party account, holding the money pending the sale. In Massachusetts, however, a Massachusetts real estate lawyer might hold the money, on the seller's behalf.
One reason for this, cites Sam Schneiderman, is the fact that the title recording system is different in Massachusetts. While many states have adopted an indexing system based on address or parcel at the county recorder's office, Massachusetts still indexes properties using the names of the title holders.
As a result, the process of establishing legitimacy to the chain of title can sometimes be a more complicated task. The MA real estate lawyer would then have to go through the chain of title to check for liens on the property, as well as other encumbrances.
In Massachusetts, the MA real estate lawyer conducts the closing. And as Schneiderman mentions, the lender's attorney is also present at the closing.
This certainly is a huge contrast to real estate closings in other states. It does, however, drive home the importance of Massachusetts real estate attorneys.

Well, isn't this a real treat with less than a week before Mobile World Congress starts. Two of the most anticipated flagship smartphones of 2016 have been sighted up for sale in Dubai. LG Electronics' upcoming G5 flagship and Samsung's Galaxy S7 edge, both yet to be announced (on February 21), were for a little while for sale online costing a pretty penny.
Aside from being on sale even though none of these two up and coming bad boys have been released yet, the seller published several live images in which both; the LG G5 and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge are shown off from the front and the back. We even get to take a look inside the S7 edge's retail box, where among the usual by now accessories that ship with a Samsung Galaxy flagship phone, there's also a dongle or is that an OTG cable of sorts?
Getting back to LG's 2016 flagship handset, this is probably one of the closest look at the G5's behind, which apart from the dual cameras the layout looks awfuly familiar – hint – Nexus 5X, do you agree? The LG G5 will likely sport Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor, 4GB of RAM, it will be equipped with a 5.3″ Quad HD display, expected to run Android 6.0.1 version, there is also a USB Type-C in the rumours, 8 and 16MP cameras too.
The Galaxy S7 edge on the other hand wil feature a 5.5″ Super AMOLED Quad HD display, but the same Snapdragon 820 chipset or Samsung's Exynos 8890 processors (according to the market), expect 4GB of RAM, 32/64/128 GB variants all equipped with 5 and 12MP cameras, fingerprint reader and will run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box.
LG G5 and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge will both be unveiled this Sunday, in Barcelona, in dedicated events held by the number #1 and #2 South Korean OEMs.
How do you like these designs? Which one do you fancy more?

An Everyday Example: Jack and Jill
Let's now look at, and then analyze, a disagreement that might arise in everyday life - in this case, between lovers who come to different conclusions about a situation they both experienced.
Suppose Jack and Jill, who are in a romantic relationship, go to a party, during which Jack spends most of the evening talking with Susan. On their way back, Jack, sensing that Jill is upset, asks, "What's wrong?"
After some hesitation, Jill says, "I didn't appreciate your spending the whole night flirting with Susan!"

QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. — In short bursts of rhythm and rote during an afternoon class shift, boys in red shirts perform about-face pirouettes and march past boys in yellow shirts.
All commands are obeyed.
All eyes are fixed.
All haircuts are military.
It is a brilliant November day, the desert awash in long shadows, as the minivan crunches along a gravel road during inspection of the 188-acre Arizona Boys Ranch.
The driver's side window is half-open as the vehicle passes two students on their way to class.
"Hello, Sir!" one says respectfully to the driver.
"Hey, Frank!' says the other.
The van rolls on until, suddenly, the driver gets that look in his eye, stomps his foot on the brake and glares into his rear-view mirror.

The three-member probe committee continues investigation into the Friday's clash incident that took place in village Thakurtari here leaving one person dead and some others injured, officials said.
Meanwhile, police detained another 47 persons last night raising the number of arrested persons to 100 since Friday in two separate cases filed with Kotwali and Gangachara police stations in connection with the clash, reports BSS.
"We are hopeful about completing the investigation and submitting the report within seven working days as assigned by the district administration," head of the probe committee and Additional District Magistrate Abu Rafa Md Arif said on Sunday.
He said members of the probe committee have collected primary evidences of the incident, visiting the affected areas and talking to the victims, eyewitnesses and common people as part of the investigation.
We are putting importance on proper verification of the derogatory posting on Facebook," Arif said adding that the real culprit involved with the Facebook posting would be identified after completion of investigation by the probe committee as well as police.
Additional Superintendent of Police (Special Branch) ABM Zakir Hossain said 100 persons, mostly leaders and activists of Jamaat-Shibir, were arrested till today in connection with the two separate cases filed with the clash.
"Police has identified each person who were directly involved with the clash from video footages captured by police from the spot during the Friday incident and not a single person can escape arrest," he said.
"The derogatory posting on Facebook is also being verified by the agencies concerned to identify and bring the real culprit under the rule of law of the country," Zakir Added. Member of the probe committee and Additional Superintendent of Police (Circle- A) Saifur Rahman said police has indentified those involved with instigating people in a planned manner, their names and addresses and raids are continuing to nab them.
"A DB police team was quickly sent to Dhaka from Rangpur and the team is working now to arrest Titu, with assistance of Dhaka Metropolitan Police, CID, Cyber Crime Department and other agencies, from anywhere in the country," he added.
