What are the attitudes and inclinations of today's young generation of wage-earners toward collective organization, in the context of developed capitalism? I explore this question on the basis of surveys carried out in France and focusing on the stance of young wage-earners (jeunes salariés) toward work, the enterprise, protest movements, and, most recently, politics.1
The category of young workers has fluid boundaries; there is no homogeneous generational cohort. On the contrary, there are many lines of division, based on education, social origin, and place of residence. One might say that the generational dimension does not exist as such but is crisscrossed by such basic social markers as those of class, ethnic origin, and gender whose impact often takes the form of discrimination. The present discussion, however, will be limited to young wage-earners with at least a high school education (jeunes salariés diplômés), who were the principal subjects of our surveys.2
Another consideration we must take into account is the fact that young people embody in accentuated form the values and behaviors that one finds in the rest of the society. In particular, they manifest heightened levels of basically negative tendencies such as individualism, depoliticization, and conformity.3 And yet, although the young are in certain ways culturally distinct (as in their use of social networking and the new information technologies), in other respects they do not differ much from the rest of the population. As Guy Michelat and Michel Simon point out in their book on workers and politics,4 the young are no more favorable than their elders toward free market policies. On the other hand, they are much more sympathetic to cultural liberalism.
In the particular case of the young high school graduates that concern us here, the negative dispositions are sharply etched. They are often accused of being "individualistic," "apolitical," hostile to any collective action. Worse, they are reproached with tending to advance the narrow interests arising from their intermediate class position, by touting on the labor market what Pierre Bourdieu calls the "cultural capital" represented by their diplomas.
What is the truth of the matter? Are these young educated workers malleable, capable of adapting smoothly to the "flexible enterprise"? Are they ready to accept downward mobility, the likely disjunction between their career ambitions and their real professional prospects? Or might they instead be disposed to engage in struggles for dignity and for the recognition of their work, and therefore to challenge, here and now, the dominant systemic assumptions?
Our discussion is in three parts. First, we examine these workers' perception of the current crisis and of the consequent uncertainties that it provokes in them even before they enter the labor market. Second, we ask how they view the enterprise, the meaning of work, and the goals of professional recognition. This aspect is often misunderstood or hidden, but it is precisely in the domain of vocation ("love of a job well done") that much of the young workers' commitment comes into play.
In the third part of the discussion, we offer some critical observations on the activist participation (militantisme) and the collective actions (mobilisations contestataires) of young activists who often burst suddenly – or with a playful upending of dominant practices – into pubic space. This leads us to inquire into the young generation's image of institutional politics and its aspirations to civic participation.
1. The economy of uncertainty
Young adults inhabit a competitive universe which generates continuous and massive uncertainty. They are aware of the intense self-affirmation that is necessary for professional advancement. They know that in order to "succeed" in a certain way, they must become their own public relations agents. Finding a job is not like exercising a basic right; it is more a matter of a "performance" aimed at placing oneself favorably in the labor market. This situation structurally reproduces individualist traits, except that here it is not a matter of withdrawal or isolation but rather one of networking and interaction.
The young workers thus find themselves uncomfortably in the middle of the upheavals that affect the world of the enterprise. They must constantly confront the increasing complexity of economic organization and the uncertainties of their own future. The continuous technological upgrading of enterprises makes it impossible to envision one's long-term prospects. The worker, producer of wealth, bearer of skills and talents, is used like a dependent variable. Hence the non-identification with "enterprise culture."
Then comes the shockwave of the post-2008 crisis. Young workers are puzzled by the mechanisms that provoked the crisis. They don't really understand how the financial markets function. Still, what is striking in their observations is the breadth of their awareness that the world is in bad shape. They recognize the destructive impact of a system of economic organization that has established the "free and competitive market" as its guiding principle. They realize that successive deregulations have led to the biggest international economic crisis since that of 1929. In sum, most of them believe that the advent of crisis has brought back into view the underlying reality of the system. It is a brusque and violent reawakening. The economic system has become unbalanced, irrational, uncontrollable.
At the same time, they emphasize that enterprises take advantage of the crisis to accelerate restructuring, reduce their workforces, and cut back wages. The crisis thus serves as an alibi to justify pre-established choices. It also reveals the fragility of the workers' condition. It reinforces casualization, counteracts demands related to wages, work-time, and job-security, and normalizes the status of "throwaway worker."
2. The enterprise and struggles for recognition
Young workers have a questioning attitude toward the world of the enterprise. They realize that the enterprise functions first of all in an unstable economic space. It does not have a long-term plan for its "human capital." In general, the enterprise expects its workers to be immediately prepared for their tasks. But at the same time, it guarantees neither their jobs nor any recognition of their contribution; it will not hesitate to let them go in hard times. Hence the disillusioned, critical, and sometimes scornful attitude of workers toward the enterprise. They stay with it, but in a spirit of caution. They commit themselves to it, but without signing a blank check, without fully identifying with it.
More fundamentally, the young workers realize that the enterprise itself is "perishable," not only as a legal entity, but above all as a work-community. In these conditions, the new generation of wage-workers experience increasing precariousness in any sense of affective belonging to the enterprise. They have internalized culturally the fact that they will not make their whole career in a single enterprise. From now on, control of their future requires them to continuously reassess their "employability." The enterprise is not the goal of one's career but only its vector. It is a relationship of convenience rather than one of mutual identification.
The meaning of work
The great majority of young educated workers say that they are convinced of the usefulness of their occupation. It is the idea of feeling useful that undergirds their professionalism. They do not see work as a mere instrumental activity necessary to support themselves and their families. They see it as being also a substantial contribution to society. This conviction that work not only pays (the worker) but also serves (the collectivity) is a constant source of motivation.
The sense of social usefulness persists even in the absence of personal fulfillment on the job. It can certainly be frustrated or diverted in the absence of professional recognition, but it nonetheless constitutes a distinguishing trait of one's relationship to one's job. Our young respondents want to do something useful in their work: they want to be able to value what they have done, to experiment with new skills, to make new efforts. They want to be qualitatively and not just quantitatively efficient. This encourages them to be more mobile than earlier generations, especially early in their careers, in order to develop professional opportunities and to satisfy their quest for meaning in work.
There is of course a sudden mobility, linked to the casualization of employment. Even apart from this, however, educated young workers become culturally attuned to the logic of the short term. But this does not stop them from seeking professional stability and the advantages associated with it. Thus most of them hope for a career of professional self-fulfillment and an expanded sphere of competences.
Work and commitment
A large proportion of young educated wage-earners experience work as a trial by fire, a challenge, an incitement to success and to the affirmation of their creative capacities – perhaps even as a way of demonstrating their own value and the value of their activity. This characteristic attitude presupposes a certain commitment to the stakes of one's profession.
The question of commitment to work opens a new set of issues. It can be argued that the relationship to work, the acquisition of skills, and the quality of one's professional investment can be experienced, especially by young people, as a kind of generational investment in which individual success may reflect social values. This adds a nuance to the celebrated individualism of the younger generations.
From a sociological standpoint, this individualism – supposedly postmodern5 – is a complex phenomenon arising from the interaction of a number of social forces. It reflects a demand for professional achievement – an extension of the striving for self-realization – beyond the individualism of the market. One can even suggest that it represents a desire to appropriate positively the various facets of professional life. This politics of individuality is not reducible to a narcissistic defense against threats coming from the outside world. It is based on a legitimate concern for self-realization in work, as an authentic and indispensable value. In this sense, this politics of individuality clashes with the tendency of neo-capitalism to respond to the desires for individuality that it stimulates only in a truncated and frustrating way, namely, by imposing a commodified and competitive notion of the human person.
Hence, if young educated workers say that they lack motivation in their work, they are explicitly posing the question of recognition. Their expectations of return on their professional investment are strong. Lacking recognition and future prospects, their faith in the enterprise is called into question. They can thus be led to leave a company that has been reluctant to trust them. This desire for a change of professional scenery does not necessarily mean that they will look for the highest-paying employer; they are more interested in finding a job that will bring them recognition.
Recognition can be understood in several senses. It may refer to relationships with colleagues, with clientele, or with the hierarchy; it may have to do with professional standing or with pay-levels. Conviviality with one's team, solidarity and respect among peers, are comforting to those newly arrived in the enterprise. Also, a good appreciation of one's work by a client is a source of satisfaction and motivation. Conversely, client dissatisfaction has a disruptive effect on the organization of tasks, and thereby induces distancing and suffering at work.
In a similar sense, the desire for recognition in the enterprise is also made difficult – or in any case uncertain – by the introduction of new technologies. Because work activity is assessed on the basis of financial considerations or bureaucratic guidelines, it is often felt to be hindered, ignored, or unappreciated. It loses its distinctive character; its meaning disappears. Hence lack of motivation, if not defection. It is precisely this failure – relative yet recurrent, discontinuous yet omnipresent – that has caused the distancing of young workers with regard to the organization of the work process.
3. The new activism and public action
While young workers want long-term development, they are apprehensive about long-term commitment. They do not identify with traditional forms of committed activism grounded in membership organizations (militantisme). They prefer solidarity actions, local experiments, sharply focused interventions in support of a particular project or a just cause. The common basis of their impulses is an attitude of responsibility, centered in the values of the human person. The model of activism in which one invests a good part of one's life is very far removed from their vision of the world. The conception of an activism that entails discipline is viewed by them as dated: how can one claim to emancipate individuals while demanding their absolute obedience to an ideology and a practice?
And yet, many of the behaviors of the young reflect a real sensitivity in matters of ecology, cultural diversity, and human dignity. However, once they are out of school and in the labor market, their availability for engagement in the public sphere is greatly reduced. In effect, while the young are available objectively, they are much less so subjectively. They are first of all drawn to the necessity of shaping their lives. They must address questions related to life-choices, experimenting with different kinds of work and focusing on their personal goals. They are thus only minimally available for engagement in the collective, in the streets, in public action with others. Young people of working age are less available than they were in their earlier years and are also less available than their elders.
Finally, we must consider the context of activism. The difficulties faced by young people today are not the same as those faced by their parents and are even further removed from those of the immediate post-1945 period. The structural factor that has changed the social landscape is mass unemployment and the development of casualization. This factor weighs heavily on collective actions. Young wage-earners, as well as those seeking work, are compelled from every direction to anticipate retrenchment of their ambitions and their demands.
Nonetheless, a certain proportion of young people cross the threshold of activism or say that they are inclined to do so. There is a plurality of forms of engagement: in professional activity, in trade unions, in voluntary associations, and in public space. According to our hypothesis, attachment to defending professional values sensitizes and predisposes people to other forms of engagement. Still, the readjustments and the transitions from one form of engagement to another are neither automatic nor necessarily desirable for those concerned.
What role for trade unions?
The young workers we interviewed have a basically positive view of trade unions. Their verdict is unanimous: "trade unions are necessary" to the welfare and prosperity of the enterprise. Trade union work is a way of defending the enterprise. In so doing, it performs three roles: 1. An informational role. The trade union can provide supplementary insight enabling workers to better situate themselves in the current context, to understand the operations of the enterprise, and to give them an awareness of their rights. It encourages wage-earners to "open their eyes." 2. Representation. The union enables wage-earners to make themselves heard. It is at once an organizer, a mediator, and the transmitter of workplace concerns to management. 3. A counter-power in the enterprise, whose task is to oppose the visions and projects of management that go in the "wrong direction."
But while the young workers' view of trade unionism is on the whole favorable, it is at the same time demanding. They acknowledge the usefulness of trade unions, but they do not feel any compelling reason to join them. They want the unions to be open, strong, and efficient. But they hope that they will not need them. Three factors reinforce this distancing: the possession of a diploma, which predisposes them to relate to the employer as equals; the deeply ingrained idea that one can always vote with one's feet by leaving an unappreciative enterprise; and the stereotypical image of unions as indifferent to the concerns of a younger generation entrapped by insecurity and the search for meaning.
The young workers' principal complaint is that union activists are not much in evidence at the workplace. This "absenteeism" is in their eyes both a cause and a symptom of the weakening of unionism. It is therefore remarkable that one of the reasons cited by our respondents for not joining the union is that they are not invited to do so. Other factors further obstruct the young workers' receptivity to unions. Some suggest that unionists have trouble shaking the image of "tired old malcontents," "dissatisfied with everything," "insincere" (de mauvaise foi), who show up when things are "going badly" to announce more "bad news." Paradoxically, what many young workers deplore is not any overly radical positioning of the unions, but rather the lack of ambition and conviction in the promotion of their campaigns.
At the same time, the young workers often express a kind of moral admiration for trade union activism, which they appreciate both for its solidarity and for its perseverance. But this perception does not signify acceptance of the type of activism that the unions are currently practicing. Nor does it necessarily reflect a desire to join the union. In fact, there are two major obstacles surrounding the question of membership in a union.
On the one hand, the young workers hesitate to take on what they see as the "package deal" entailed by membership. They don't want to be labeled or pigeonholed in their relations with the enterprise hierarchy and with their colleagues. Activism should be an expression of free choice on their part, reflecting their independence of trade union positions. For some, one can be active without joining (s'engager sans adhérer), just as one can act without taking on the persona of the committed unionist (militant).
On the other hand, fear that union-membership will jeopardize their careers is another factor inhibiting their joining the union. This fear is a recurrent theme in the observations made by young workers, including those in the public sector. Some express the view – sometimes the certainty – that joining a union, participation in a demonstration, and above all, being active in the union (action militante) are looked on unfavorably by management.
The reasons for this skeptical stance are not necessarily "ideological" but are above all practical. To identify with the union is to take a position and, potentially, to oppose the hierarchy which alone bestows the advances and the setbacks of one's career. Many young workers thus tend to view unionization as a breach of the trust that binds them to enterprise-management. This attitude hurts union members. It is what I call the paradox of protection/exposure: One of the essential reasons for joining the union is to defend one's interests as a wage-earner, but the very fact of joining puts at risk the individual who does so.
More globally, we should keep in mind that the weak propensity to join, in France, is neither peculiar to young people nor a recent phenomenon. In fact, political parties as well as trade unions have trouble proving the day-to-day practical benefits of joining. It is above all during hopeful periods of mobilization that their skills and their resources are appreciated. But most of the time, individuals do not recognize the usefulness of organization unless they find themselves in an impasse. The challenge for organizations is to create a system of incentives to thwart free-rider behavior. And yet there is no magic formula for creating members.
In any case, the weakness of unionism does not signify an absence of questioning. Non-membership in a union does not signify unconditional acceptance of the ideology of the enterprise. On the contrary, many young workers claim that they carry out labor struggles "in their own manner," without being "enrolled" (encartés). They commit themselves to defending a qualitative conception of work, a critical approach to their jobs and responsibilities, and certain human and professional values.
Being active without joining
There are some collectivities among the younger generation that are active around issues related to the system of job-training and the link between job-training and the labor market. The existence of structural mass unemployment, along with various dysfunctionalities of the educational system, accentuates the sense of insecurity that one feels upon entering adult life and work life.
To analyze the social meanings of an activist commitment, we take the example of two French groupings: Génération Précaire [Precarious Generation], which fights against the abusive exploitation of interns by enterprises, and Jeudi Noir [Black Thursday], which exposes the housing problems faced by students and young workers. Their common trait is to struggle against the casualization of work and the growing insecurity in the lives of young people. We can distinguish analytically six characteristic traits of these assemblages:
1. Organization. The social activists link themselves together informally, refusing the constraints of a hierarchical organization. The collectivity functions in horizontal networks. Decisions are taken by consensus rather than by the logic of majority rule.
2. Resources and means of action. The actions of the young activists are notable for their strongly symbolic character. The common trait is the will to unveil problems, to take account of opinion, and to sketch proposals and solutions. "One must be serious rather than furious." The young activists thus build veritable strategies of communication to plead the legitimacy of their cause in public space.
They make heavy use, in spectacular ways, of both old and new tactics of collective action, such as requisition of space, occupation of institutional buildings, or marches, to attract media attention. The struggle to advance their demands is inseparable from the struggle for visibility. From this standpoint, the Internet is at once a tactic of the "new militancy" and an arena of social confrontation.
3. Logics of action. The social activists conceive their militant projects in accordance with a logic of direct action. They are not professional militants (labor leaders, politicians, intellectuals) defending "good causes" outside themselves. On the contrary, they are actors and authors of their own struggles, challenging on an ongoing basis the conditions of their own lives. Their new forms of collective action are engaged around multiple "causes": the ordeal of unpaid interns; the need for housing; a guarantee of rights to employment, to healthcare, to an income, and to equality of education for all.
4. Alliances. Relations between the young activists and the organized labor movement are characterized by a desire for collaboration. But there are real obstacles to the maintenance of contacts. There remains considerable ignorance, distrust, and distance from both directions. Nonetheless, the labor movement remains a sounding board for publicizing collective action, even if the activists are harshly critical of the way it operates.
5. Impact. The political task of the social activists is to make visible a series of hidden or suppressed problems that are not addressed in conventional socio-political debate. Exposure of what "makes a problem" is the first stage of the struggle for recognition of rights. The challenge is not just to create public awareness, but to propose a change of the legal framework in favor of precarious workers. For example, thanks to the mobilization (since 2006) of Génération Précaire, which had previously approached the traditional social partners and political groups to awaken them and solicit their support, interns in France are now required by law to be paid a minimum of 400 euros per month after the first two months. This obligation was extended to the public sector in 2009. We may call this practice "activism of victories" (activisme des conquêtes).
6. Type of movement. These young activists engage in collective action without signing an agreement, without necessarily becoming formal members of an organization. Some scholars describe this as "self-service" or "à la carte" activism, representing a sharp break with the traditional model. But the reluctance to join is easily explained. The centralist image of the large organizations repels many activists. The bureaucratic functioning of the "apparatuses," the mysterious power-plays inside them, and the fear of becoming part of a crushing vertical network all serve as disincentives to joining.
From these considerations, one can understand the young workers' distancing themselves from large "ready-made" unions and political organizations. Nonetheless, the motivations for activist engagement partake of the same values of solidarity upheld historically by the labor movement and trade unionism: combatting injustices, attacking the deadly grip on society of mercantile individualism, and defending equality, public service, and social democracy.
In search of a politics
The current economic and financial crisis compels us to revisit the political ideas and positions of young people. With the eruption into public space of different new constituencies in France – and, more recently, with the movement of the Indignados in Spain and their counterparts in Greece – many young people are rediscovering the desire to exert their muscle in order to combat the growing casualization of work. They seek to defend their own dignity against the widespread scorn linked to the multiple forms of oppression, and to remove the barriers between what is desirable and what is possible. But this posture appears more as a mere wish for change than as a coherent alternative conception to the dominant forces.
The charge is often made that the Indignados have failed to put forward concrete proposals. But no social movement in history has offered complicated answers to resolve complicated problems. Movements are vectors of political innovation because they create events and set in motion the course of history, not because of any capacity to formulate complex strategies. For the moment, the message sent to society is that the prevailing politics have broken down. This is the force behind these democratic experiments, but it is also their limitation.
Moreover, young people believe that politics is too important to be entrusted to professional politicians. If there is one trait of institutional politics that repels them absolutely, it is precisely the political entrepreneuriat. It is the suffocation of political participation by bureaucratic structures, political "marketing," and party-careerism. The phenomenon of governing elites who become star personalities is a disaster for the engagement of the young, because it confirms the idea that "politics is politicians." The discouraging effect of the media only reinforces this terrible drift.
What disturbs young people is the feeling of not being listened to; of being manipulated as an electoral alibi in prefabricated speeches that are neither truthful nor authentic; and finally, of being stripped of their opinion and their message as these are hijacked on behalf of a politics lacking legitimacy.
Finally, why can't young people find a place for themselves in official politics? Because the political sphere probably does not allow them to take control of their collective destiny. Because the parties do not seriously pose the problems that concern young people; they can neither listen to the young nor inspire them to become engaged.
What future do young people dream of? What are their preoccupations, their critiques, their projections? What opportunities do they have to participate politically in defense of human dignity, democracy, and the common good? How can the political process be redefined so as to allow for the new forms of politicization that cut across the younger generation? What useful political role can be played by progressive formations that look in this direction? Such fundamental questions demand concrete and credible responses. Only then will it be possible to restore hope and to overturn the currently dominant political regime.

Our survey consisted of fifty semi-structured interviews of at least an hour and a half, conducted face to face, away from the workplace. They were recorded and transcribed. Respondents were between 24 and 32 years of age; over half were women. Two-thirds were employed in the private sector (in metallurgy, banks, research firms, leisure and hospitality, property development, and professional occupations). The rest worked in civil service or in large public enterprises. Finally, half the respondents worked in the Paris region; the others, in provincial cities.

Colin Gold's Mac, iOS, and Watch setup
Every week we post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
New setup interviews are posted every Monday; follow us on RSS or Twitter to stay up to date.
Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Colin Gold, and I am a Hospitality Consultant. I've spent my entire career working in hotels. My specialty is not only hotel and hospitality operations, but focusing the customer experience and using hospitality basics to help traditionally non-hospitality industries improve their customer's experience. I am just starting out in my own business and growing my client base.
What is your current setup?
I am using a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM. I have an iPhone 6 with my family as the lock screen wallpaper and my daughter as the app screen wallpaper, and I also have an iPad that I use primarily for travel and on the go. Everything syncs on all three devices, so all my information is always up to date.
For peripherals, I use an Apple Magic Mouse and Trackpad. I find that both have their uses. And lastly, I have a Captain America mousepad to remind me I am a Super Hero and can accomplish anything.
Where can we find your macOS wallpaper?
My wallpaper is nothing special. I like the nature images that come with my Mac. They rotate every 30 minutes to keep it inspirational and fresh.
What software do you use and for what do you use it?
Since I started reading The Sweet Setup, I have expanded my programs with great success.
I am using Airmail, primarily to keep my inbox at 0. I use the To Do functionality to keep the items that need follow up in one place.
I use Fantastical on all three devices as well. I was a big 2-page per day "paper planner" user in the day, and Fantastical is the first program I found to truly mimic my practices in the planner. I also love how Airmail and Fantastical work well together.
I use Evernote for everything note related. I never carry paper away from meetings. After I take notes in a meeting, pictures are taken directly into Evernote, and then I file them appropriately. I also like how Evernote integrates with Fantastical and Airmail.
I use Pocket to keep all of my reading in check. Any articles, emails, or other items that I need to read get saved in Pocket. When I have time to read, usually on an airplane or in my hotel room, I have a personalized queue waiting for me.
All my work files are saved on various cloud systems to keep everything mobile.
How would your ideal setup look and function?
The only improvement I would like would be for Fantastical to keep track of Evernote reminders like Sunrise did.
What iPhone do you have?
I have an iPhone 6 in Gold, like my last name.
Where can we find your wallpaper online?
These are all personal pictures. If you really want them you can contact me…just kidding.
What apps do you use the most, and why?
I mostly use the same apps as I do on my Mac, but I have some social networking apps on my phone as well.
Which app could you not live without?
The new Apple News app. I feel it keeps me in the know, much more than I had been before. Additionally, I use Waze almost exclusively for directions because I travel so much. I also have Car Play in my car so it all integrates well.
Which iPad do you have?
I currently use a space gray WiFi-only iPad Air with 32GB of space.
Where can we find your wallpaper online?
This is a stock wallpaper.
How are you using your iPad on a daily basis?
My iPad is a backup for everything on my Mac and iPhone. Additionally, I use it to watch, read, and listen while on airplanes.
What apps do you use the most, and why?
The interconnectivity of all my apps listed above. Additionally, I use Netflix (in hotels) and XFINITY TV because I can download content for my time on airplanes. I used to be a big Tivo stream user, but the cost began to outweigh the benefits.
Which app could you not live without?
On my iPad it has become the XFINITY TV app. By the way, this app has much room for improvement.
What Apple Watch do you have?
I have the first version Apple Watch Sport in aluminum. I received it as a Father's Day gift, and I never thought I would love it. But now I have become addicted to it.
What apps and complications do you the use?
I use three apps and faces most of the time:
- Lose It! to control my eating
- Health.app to control my activity
- Golfshot to know how far I am from the green.
- Also, I love the alerts to keep me on track with my activity.

It is all over the blogs (Gigaom, Lightreading) and probably the newspapers... Cablelabs is researching 5 Gigabit over cable. This is something that was mentioned in an OECD Study I did 4 years ago. The problem isn't getting the bits on the cable. The problem is everything else, like getting rid of tv-channels. http://www.oecd.
org/dataoecd/49/8/40390735.pdf (page 18) has this to say about it.
With current technology it might be possible to send up to 5 Gigabit/s (upstream and downstream combined) over an HFC network if no analogue or digital TV-channels were broadcast and all bandwidth was used for data networks.
It becomes harder with the fact that the upstream channel is limited by the current filtering on the line to 120mbit up, shared over all users. So it would require a major rework of the entire plant to make good use of it. Add to this the 100-1000 users per cable headend and the real amount of bandwidth per household becomes more limited. So either you do very funky multicasting over IP (do remember that IP is encrypted per user, so that you can't see what your neighbour saw) or the network crashes if too many people watch tv at the same time. The cable network is very good at what it does now: Broadcast with a bit of IP. Going all IP with no broadcast however is a totally different ball game.
All in all I am still a happy user of UPC Docsis 3, I am still a happy supporter of FTTH for all, I am still waiting for a good FTTH offer to my home and I still await any great new technological developments on any network.... This just wasn't it, but unfortunately journo's will parrot eachother for days and consultants will parrot it for months and lobbyist will say it for years... (but now you know better)

Twitter Inc. co-founder Jack Dorsey, 35, has joined the ranks of the world's billionaires.
Dorsey's mobile payment company, Square Inc., is in the process of closing a $200 million investment by Rizvi Traverse Management LLC, valuing the company at $3.2 billion, according to a report Wednesday by PrivCo, a New York-based research firm that specializes in private companies' financial data.
The report, citing unnamed sources, said Dorsey will own 26 percent of Square after this round of financing closes. The stake would be worth $845 million. Coupled with his ownership in Twitter, the social media company, Dorsey is a billionaire, the report said.
"While a valuation of $3.2 billion is rich, and virtually unheard of for a three-year old company, Square has grown dramatically since its prior round of funding, now processing over $500 million of merchant transactions a month," PrivCo said in its report.
Closely held Rizvi, a Birmingham, Michigan-based private equity fund, will take a 6.25 percent equity stake in Square, which was co-founded by Dorsey in 2009. Square said in June two million people used its smart phone and mobile device payments processing software, double what the company said it had at the start of 2012.
Rizvi spokesman Beau Allen said in a phone call the company had no comment on the report. Rizvi Traverse owns a stake in Twitter, which Dorsey co-founded in 2006, and counts Facebook Inc., Playboy Enterprises Inc. and Summit Entertainment Group among its investments, according to its website.

"When work is done and drink is beer..."
With Lover Boy loud all afternoon and the sun was even out all day.
Beer in hand and accomplished, these Hemingway sips.
Fucking hell if we didn't meet challenges today
And overcome without overwhelming
And sail without sails, or a fucking rudder, for what and all that I know.
Whew. I love it when the tide does that.

I have Mr. Rogers shoes.
I mean I have the whole fucking thing down solid and it just happened.
I come home and switch my postal uniform for my home uniform. I even swap shoes. Shirt and Jacket for a Montreal Canadiens sweater.
Slacks for plaid cotton pyjamas;
head for heart.
Man I am changing it out like that.
And fucking shoes, Mr. Rogers shoes.
I am a neighbourhood father.
And drunk.

I am a Quebecois in Alberta; you are a German in Canada. We are all Diasporai.
The Dalai Lama knows nothing for you to hide behind, my man. He has never known drunken poverty or hated heart-break for a lover.
How can you be a man and never know the Herculean gut-punch of love?
The sick of a Sunday, 5 p.m. still drunk and fuck tomorrow's going to suck.
All these things happen in spite of stillness.
These things are learned on the balls of the feet.
Do you think Cheetahs are made to be still to find their own beauty?
Let's move, my man, let's go.

Sometimes it would be better to work in the mines.
Sometimes it would have been better to have been Elvis Presley, fat and stoned and finally dead.
Sometimes it would be better to be a lawnmower and at least useful twice a month; in the summer.
After a few I am always ready to try the things that would sometimes be better sometimes.
But I get up and go to it again.

Thank you, lovers, for sifting the shit and spitting me into the right pile.

Thanks for being the cereal I could never have as a child but as a man and out of rebellion and misguided freedom bought a box and ate it all in one night.
There was a reason I never had it when I was young.

Priests wear blue collars.
I work on the set of Taxi.
There is the short fat balding one,
there is the funny crazy one; the wacky guy. So zany.
There is that mouthy cunt, what's-her-name.
And the accent-guy, fucking foreigners.
There is that one guy we can all relate to because he is us, detached and cool.
There is that vehicle in which we always envision ourselves. Like a soul.
It never says a thing because it is the last thing and sometimes the never thing that we ever think about eventhough the show brags it's name: the taxi.
That quiet little cab just sits there and waits to carry these fools. It never says a thing.
It never moves a man to cry; but I do.
I weep for that little yellow taxi in that Taxi shop.
Surrounded by idiots and failures.
I work on the set of Taxi.
There is that mouthy cunt and there is the joker and there is the boss and there is the cool-jerk.
And here is the cab.

Discovering other paths ought to make us wander further into the woods, yes?
What if our souls, after so many, many flights, never return to our bodies?
What if I never really got off that plane in 2008 from Tokyo?
What if I never left that ferry to Gibraltar?
What if I never stepped drunk from that train into the Serbian night in 1994 and never got turned back?
What would I know? Who would I be?
What if you never met me in Vancouver in September?
So much of everything would be different.
But you did; and I did all of those things, too.
I love vapour trails and looking up and thinking about the origin and destination of those planes and the passengers; all headed somewhere they were needed or even loved.
I wonder if they have had dinner yet or are wondering outside their view? Who is watching them fly past?
I am, on those clear Alberta skies.
And blowing kisses, too.
Because landing is the best thing ever.

"The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree to wait: and both without impatience — they give no thought to the little people beneath them, devoured."
What is it about a pine that makes me feel better all the time with those soft arms out and reaching for a sap-filled hug?
What is it about a pine tree that makes me wander like that and hold you tight forever with a hug, my soft arms; boughs tight and sap-filled.
What is it about this existence that makes us all weep at the thought of it all and again the next night for the same reasons.
What is it all?
What is it about a woman? What is it that fucking drives me like a Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine; 108,920 hp.
Fuel drives it all, be it love or sunshine or oil.
Hello, fuel.

Craig Hensburger Has Daughter's Mother Thrown in Jail Because Daughter Refuses to Be With Abuser

Thanks to Wisconsin's Judge David Miron, the biggest idiot in the state.
Lorraine Tipton was confined in the Oconto County, Wisconsin jail yesterday, November 12th. She presented some excellent evidence in Judge David Miron's court of daughter's dad drinking alcohol to excess (including pics) and under examination, daughter's dad revealed that he drank to excess one evening and then drove away from the bar. This admission, coupled with the dad's chronic alcohol related arrest record, was not enough to sway the judge to do any more than admonish the father. Judge Miron did not want therapy for daughter's father, he simply wanted daughter reunited with her father, sentencing Lorraine to thirty days in jail to make this happen.
Craig Hensburger has driven drunk with the daughter in the car before, and forced her to wait in the car as he and his mother were getting drunk in the bar. The daughter observed Grandma being so drunk when leaving, she got into the wrong car. Craig Hansburger then drove them all home in this state. This was not the only time. Once at their home, the daughter is forced to sleep on the floor. Even though they are at Grandma's house, she is afraid to sleep in the basement. There has been substantiated sexual abuse charges against Craig Hensburger against his daughter, but nobody will do anything about them.
So this young lady waits while the courts jail her mother. The daughter refuses, and mommy gets jailed. If the daughter does not go to visit drunken abuser Craig Hensberger, Lorraine sits in jail, having concurrent sentences placed on her head.
What can we do? For starters:
1. Please sign the online petition here for her here.
2. Email Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and let him know moms don't belong in jail when child victims refuse to be with abusers. Email site is here.
3. Please say a prayer for Lorraine and her daughter. This is a lot to put on an 11 year old's head.
Craig Hensberger has a history of being a corrupt bastard:
Same fish, different derby
Updated: Saturday, 14 Mar 2009, 12:27 PM CDT
Published : Friday, 13 Mar 2009, 9:34 PM CDT
OCONTO COUNTY – In Northeast Wisconsin, you generally don't have to look too far to find a fishing derby.
And about a month ago, 10-year-old Michaela Hensberger went to three derbies in one weekend.
"For me it's really hard to believe, my eyes can see it, it actually happened," said Michaela.
Michaela says her dad registered her in three fishing derbies. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources says they went to one derby in Townsend, where they won $25 with a prized walleye, another in Shawano that same day, where they won $100, and the following day, they went back to Townsend, and won another $25.
The problem is the DNR says Michaela did not catch the winning fish in those tournaments, but her dad, Craig Hensberger, caught the 8 1/4-pound fish on Anderson Lake and entered it in three different fishing tournaments, taking home a total of $150.
"We're very concerned about the transport of live fish and water from our area waterways," said DNR warden Mark Schraufnagel.
The DNR investigated, and gave Craig Hensberger a ticket for $329 for transporting a live fish away from a waterway or surrounding shores. The DNR says transporting a live fish can spread invasive species or VHS, an infectious fish disease.
Though local sheriff's departments are not investigating the incident, Michaela Hensberger says she learned a valuable lesson.
"It felt wrong to lie to those people that I caught that fish," said Michaeala.
Lorraine Tipton, Michaela's mother, tells FOX 11, "That's the lesson I guess in the story is to tell the truth and she knows right from wrong, a 46-year-old man doesn't."
FOX 11 tried to reach Craig Hensberger, but we were unable to.
As for the $150 won in the fishing derbies, the clubs and the DNR say that money has not been returned. As for the walleye that won those derbies, Hensberger has taken it to the taxidermist to have it mounted.
This is Lorraine's contact information while in Jail for those wanting to support her via mailings…

Click this link for the latest ABC renewal / cancellation information: [rssinpage rssfeed='http://feeds.feedburner.com/TvbythenumbersCancel/renewABCShows' rssitems='1′ rssformat='Y']
Our Renew / Cancel Index predicts the network's decision on renewal or cancellation for scripted broadcast primetime shows by the end of the 2012-13 season in May, 2013. (includes results from September 17-November 11, 2012):
|Renew/ Cancel Index
|Don't Trust the B in Apt 23
|😥 😥
|666 Park Avenue
|😳 canceled 11/16
|Happy Endings
|😐 😐 😐
|Private Practice

|The Neighbors

|The Middle
|Once Upon A Time
|Grey's Anatomy
|Modern Family
11/16 Update: Last Resort & 666 Park Avenue were canceled.
Rookies Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue are both certain to be canceled by the end of the season, why are they still on the air (along with Partners, The Mob Doctor and Emily Owens)?
Robert noted that the difference in the number of shows that have been yanked off the air isn't much different than last season. Why leave the losers on the air? The best guess is that economically it no longer makes sense for the networks to stock so many "extra" replacement shows, and any replacement options work out negatively for them even vs. airing a dead show. Sticking with the losers through 13 episodes is the economically less painful decision. That fans continue with hope for those failed shows isn't surprising, but if they followed the cancellation bear, they might save themselves some surprises.
In ABC's case, they have one veteran drama (Private Practice), and two failed rookies (Last Resort, 666 Park Avenue) that they didn't have the bench to replace early (nor could any early replacements have been marketed effectively). Instead of taking the rookies off the schedule early, as they did with Charlie's Angels, My Generation & The Whole Truth in recent years, they're leaving them on the schedule until they burn through their 13 episode orders (and may even get an extra episode or two like Pan Am did)
Sophomore sitcom Don't Trust The B—- In Apt. 23 didn't start well this season, and its ratings completely tanked in its second episode. If it weren't for hurricane Sandy, the 1.2 rating last week would have made it "certain to be canceled". As it is, I'll wait for one more week's ratings before dropping it there.
Since Sony (and ABC) are likely to move heaven and earth to get a fourth season for Happy Endings somewhere, even with it's terrible ratings it's going no lower than a "toss up". May the syndication gods have mercy on the cancellation bear's soul.
Last Man Standing and Malibu Country both had nice premiere ratings for a Friday, but were down sharply to a 1.6 and 1.7 rating in their second episodes. That's still "likely renewed" for a Friday show, but further declines threaten those predictions.
Even with full season orders for this season, ABC's mediocre rated 10pm dramas Nashville and Scandal could be either canceled or renewed by the end of the season. Similarly rated Castle, already syndicated, is more likely to be renewed than canceled. Read more about that here.
Better to Follow The Bear, Than Be Chased By Him. This season you can follow the Cancellation Bear on Twitter via @TheCancelBear. The Cancellation Bear will retweet all the Renew/Cancel Index post titles and links as well as engage in a little more back and forth banter than we do on our standard @TVbytheNumbers Twitter feed.
*shows no longer on the air have their Renew/Cancel Index "frozen" at the point they left the schedule.

The Renew/Cancel Index is the ratio of a scripted show's new episode adults 18-49 ratings relative to the new episode ratings of the other scripted shows on its own network. It's calculated by dividing a show's new episode Live+Same Day adults 18-49 average rating by the Live+Same Day new episode average of all the new scripted show episodes on the show's own network. The network's average ratings in the calculation are not time weighted (ex. hour long shows are not weighted twice what 30 minute shows are).
(F) -Fridays: Shows airing on Fridays were renewed with significantly lower than average Indexes.

When Kate heard that her grandfather had died, she hurried to her grandmother to find out what had happened. But her grandmother's answer was a bit more direct than she had expected…
Upon hearing that her elderly grandfather had just passed away, Katie went straight to her grandparent's house to visit her 95 year-old grandmother and comfort her.
When she asked how her grandfather had died, her grandmother replied, "He had a heart attack while we were making love on Sunday morning."
Horrified, Katie told her grandmother that 2 people nearly 100 years old having sex would surely be asking for trouble.
"Oh no, my dear," replied granny. "Many years ago, realizing our advanced age, we figured out that the best time to do it was when the church bells would start to ring. It was just the right rhythm. Nice and slow and even. Nothing too strenuous, simply in on the Ding and out on the Dong."
Grandma paused to wipe away a tear, and continued, "He'd still be alive if that ice cream truck hadn't come along."
Katie fainted.

3 comments:
We recently stayed at Ikhaya and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It is set in beautifully landscaped gardens, in a very quiet upmarket suburb. Our room had gorgeous views of Johannesburg and it was very spacious and comfortable. We walked to the nearby shops and even at night we felt safe walking in the suburb. There is a security vehicle patrolling the suburb at all times. Guests come and go as they please, each room has its own private entrance and guests do not have to interact with the owners if they choose not to. In our case we only saw Rui or Coralee, the owners, in the morning, at breakfast, as they came to greet us and chatted to us for a while and ensured we were being looked after by the friendly staff they employ. Thank you Rui and Coralee for the great time we had at your guest house, keep up the good work, your guest house is a gem. We shall be back! (We were asked by Ikhaya's owners to post a comment on their blog so here it is) Rosy & Mike DavyReplyDelete
Hi Rosy and Mike, thanks for the great review, we would certainly consider employing you in our marketing department. If you ever need a job please talk to us first! I included your review in our blog, hope you manage to see it. We look forward to seeing you again, shortly. Rui and CoraleeReplyDelete
Rui, here are some comments that I would be pleased for you to use on your website.Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Ikhaya!ReplyDelete
Ikhaya is wonderful! The room was beautiful and immaculately kept. Rui is a gracious host. Precious made a great breakfast. I stayed several days and will definitely stay again whenever I return to Johannesburg! I would highly recommend Ikhaya to anyone! --- Teresa, St. Louis, Missouri, USA, 21 October 2010
Thanks Rui and I hope to visit again,

Collaborative Practice provides a way to resolve family law disputes without going to court. In this approach, a team of professionals works with clients to reach a mutually acceptable agreement while considering the interests and needs of both clients. When the clients have minor children their needs can also be closely protected as clients come together as co-parents to develop a plan for the family to move forward. Collaborative Practice offers clients a way to resolve all aspects of their family law dispute respectfully, with confidentiality and dignity, while keeping decision-making between the clients. The team of professionals consists of two lawyers, one mental health professional and one financial professional.
While Collaborative Practice is an efficient way to proceed through divorce and other family law disputes, some families are unable to afford the professional fees involved. The One Case Collaborative Project offers clients a collaborative process at a substantially reduced fee. The program is offered by professionals in the community who want to promote access to Collaborative Practice. The program provides a semi-structured 21 hour process in which attorneys charge $100 per hour while the mental health professional and financial professional charge $50.00 per hour. The total cost to the clients is approximately $7500.00 after the addition of administrative, court, and family specific costs. This program is designed for family law clients with $100,000.00 or less combined gross family income. An asset cap will also apply.

First, I saw the Kanagawa wave. Then it was the Jersey Surf Drum and Bugle Corps and Blue Wave NJ in the Fourth of July parade. Plus Leah spent her vacation in Hawaii (and got engaged!). A theme was emerging.
After a day at the Shore, I had a brain wave: the bike needs a new handlebar bag. Something like a cross between the Rivendell Bicycle Works classic Baggins Candy Bar Bag and the felted Noni Tube Baguette, except more Jersey Shore, less Northern California or South Beach. And wavy. Must be wavy!
So I've been swatching stripe patterns using Lily Chin's New Shale variation on Old Shale; the yarn is Cascade 220. Pictured is the purl side of the third attempt, which I think is a keeper. I also felted a swatch, to make certain the natural white would behave itself (it did). The stitch pattern is easily memorized (good for surfing the Internet), but all this swatching feels like making endless mini-afghans!
The biggest technical challenge looming is the straps that attach the bag to the bicycle handlebars. I'd like to use two grosgrain watchbands (maybe in Stripe 18?), but Velcro webbing is probably more practical. *Le sigh*.
For notions and lining, I was thinking of these über-cute goldfish bowl buttons from Modern Yarn and these Heather Ross fabrics from Purl Patchwork. I love how all the goldfish have names.
But I'm beginning to think they're too wistful and something a little more gutsy is needed, something with a mid-century vibe as strong as a ripple afghan. Stay tuned.

Too cool on the swatching.
Maybe a denim liner - you want something that can stand up to being hung from the handlebars and the weight of the contents.

Love the yarn you are knitting with!
I an unrelated knitting question--how do you insert the oomhlat over a letter--?????????

I think the swatch looks great, and agree that a denim liner sounds like a good idea. The fishbowl buttons? Well, they are adorable, it's true, but I don't know . . . it seems almost cruel to put a fishbowl on top of all those waves, like it's teasing the poor little fish that can't go for a REAL swim.... (ahem) But maybe that's just me!

This vase is going to Tracy in California. She bought it from me on etsy. Through our emails she sounds like a lovely person. As I was packing it for shipping I was a bit hesitant to give this one up. I guess because it's been with me for over a year. Also,it has it's own personality that I can't really reproduce. So, back to Tracy sounding like a nice person...that seems to be my reward.
Another thought about keeping my pots . If it is truly a favorite piece I do give it to myself.

Included in the 150 day licenses we are receiving is SimulationXpress, while not the full simulation package it is still rather capable... Take a look at the website to get an idea of the capabilities... http://www.solidworks.com/default.htm and perhaps the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolidWorks Professionally as well as personally, I've used it as a complete CNC toolchain with the addition of the SolidCAM plugin... In terms of simulation, I used the Finite Element Analysis Simulation to determine resonant frequency modes, plot displacement over strain and determine failure modes, etc. There is a convergent iterative design solver, that will generate a series of design iterations and simulate, converging on a maximum or minimum factor like weight or strength ... It includes part libraries and part generation wizards such that modeling items like gears and bolts takes but a few seconds... I'm sure they will be some interest in the CNC aspect, how about the simulation tools? So far I have received about 10 confirmed attendees, what time slot is better, weekend or evening?

Last Saturday, I was privileged to hear and meet a Filipina whose "never say die" spirit is one that can spur and motivate many of us who think that whatever handicaps we may have are good enough excuses to back down from our dreams.
Not Joy Rojas!
Joy dreams of crossing the United States in 120 days — RUNNING!
Yes, she plans to run 5,000 kilometers from West to East at approximately 50 kms A DAY, for 100 days!
This dream appears daunting, especially when you find out she survived tuberculosis (TB) in 2001. But the spirit of this 43-year old freelance journalist flies high. Just a month short of finishing her treatment for TB, Joy completed a 42-km run in 4 hours and 11 minutes. Then in 2005, she became the first Filipina to run from Davao City to Pagudpod, Ilocos Norte in 46 days — a good 2,000-km course!
When Joy completed her Trans-Phiippines run in 2005, she did not just sit on her laurels. To her, the end of that dream was just the start of others. She asked herself where she would run if given the chance to equal or exceed that run and her thoughts brought her to the USA.
More than 200 people have already run across the United States. In fact, Cesar Guarin, a Filipino, did this in 1987. However, no Filipina has accomplished the same feat. In fact, NO SOUTHEAST ASIAN WOMAN has.
Joy will begin her run on May 11, her 44th birthday. The kick-off event will be at Eagle Rock, California, where there is a fairly large Filipino community. She will then continue through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey towards New York City where she expects to cross the finish line at the Philippine Consulate on Fifth Avenue on September 8. Of her 120 days, 100 of them will be spent running while the 20 days are designated rest days in between.
At the Meet and Greet at Powerbooks Megamall, I met the other members of Joy's team.
The first one I talked to was Mat Macabe, Joy's trainer and running partner. Mat was supposed to do this run with Joy until he had to undergo an open heart surgery in 2008 for a congenital heart condition. Instead, he will bike alongside Joy during some parts of the run. Mat had many funny stories about his running experiences, including outrunning a desert fox and wrestling to the ground a Doberman which was trained to kill. He regaled us with stories about people they had met along their runs. When I asked him about his surgery, he gamely pulled up his shirt to reveal a scar that ran from throat to waist! Gosh!!!!
Next I got to chat with Chuck Crisanto, team manager of Takbong Pangarap. He's a jolly fellow from Ateneo who is a long distance event record holder for the school. Chuck gave me some additional insights about their planned route, including getting Fil-Ams in the places they go through, to run with Joy part of the way as support for a countrywoman.
Joy is training fervently for this run. She runs for 2 hours, 3-4 times a week, with at least 1 out-of-town run each month. Her diet consists of fish and vegetables. Adidas, one of the sponsors of this run, is providing her different types of attire for different weather conditions. When asked how many pairs of rubber shoes she was bringing, she said she would use 12 pairs which she plans to use in rotation. Wow!
Technology is playing a large part in this attempt too. The Philippine Online Chronicles has put up a channel specifically for Takbong Pangarap. Her every step will be chronicled through this special site and more plans are underway to maximize the access that technology will give to Joy's supporters.
Joy has an online presence as well:
Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/takbongpangarap
Plurk: http://www.plurk.com/takbongpangarap
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Takbong-Pangarap/67564894131
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The beneficiaries of this run are the Social Services Division of the Philippine Heart Center and the Anti-TB Program of the Inner Wheel Club of Quezon City, District 378.
Sponsors to date include Adidas, Smart Communications, HSBC, Rustan's/Shopwise, Sen. Pia Cayetano, Sony Ericsson Phils, Asiana Airlines, Asian Journal Publications, and the Manila Peninsula. SportsAde will provide Joy's hydration needs.
Despite these sponsorships, the team said that they still need help to ensure that all logistics (including money for food, gasoline & lodgings) for Joy's run can be provided for. There are several ways to help in your own way:
1. The POC website states that supporters can donate funds via Paypal/Western Union, being a 5k sponsor, and soon via SMS.
2. If you live in the United States and are along the route that Joy will pass, you can help Joy, Mat and Chuck achieve their goal by offering to host them as they pass through your area. Keep checking the POC.net site for details of the route.
3. Embed the Takbong Pangarap widget on your blogs to create awareness of her dream run.
4. For other forms of assistance, contact Chuck Crisanto at firstname.lastname@example.com or 0917-8983621.
Thanks also to friends Noemi and Dine of filipinaimages.com for hosting the event.

Common freshwater bacteria vary in their responses to short‐term exposure to nano‐TiO2
Nanostructured titania (nano‐TiO2) is an engineered nanomaterial that can be cytotoxic primarily due to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species when illuminated. Production of nano‐TiO2 has increased rapidly over the last decade, leading to concerns about its release into aquatic environments. To address the possible ecological impacts of nano‐TiO2, we used high‐throughput screening to assess the responses of four bacteria representative of genera common in freshwater to short‐term exposure (1‐2 h) in two natural aqueous media (stream water and lake water) to two widely‐used titania products, Pigment White 6 (PW6) and P25. Under simulated solar illumination PW6 and P25 reduced the abundance of viable Bacillus subtilis and Aeromonas hydrophila, confirming the cytotoxicity of nano‐TiO2. In contrast PW6 and P25 stimulated growth of Arthrobacter sp. and Klebsiella sp., which we hypothesize was driven by oxidation of organic material in these natural waters into more labile compounds. This hypothesis is supported by data demonstrating PW6 photo‐oxidation of organic matter in stream water, which subsequently supported enhanced bacterial growth. The results of this study indicate that bacterial responses to nano‐TiO2 can be species‐specific, suggesting that nano‐TiO2 may alter bacterial community composition and function. Finally, our results indicate that bacterial responses to nano‐TiO2 are influenced by the water matrix, emphasizing the importance of assessing bacterial responses to nanomaterials in natural environmental media.

Flea Market Find
I got these nifty vintage travel guides at the Long Beach Flea Market. They date from the early 1960's and I just love the graphics on the cover. (The insides are really just travel guides with only one or two images.)

With over 1200 hits, my most read thread on this site was THIS ONE which gave a definition for the Scots word "blooter". Other definitions arose in the comments section. I had originally posted the definition after I had spotted it was Google's top search word in America for that day. It turned out that this was because U.S. broadcaster Bill O'Reilly had used it in his show. Here he is referring to the word and another two – "bloviate" (to speak pompously and excessively) and that word much beloved of George Galloway, "popinjay" (a vain and talkative person)
