Following his wife's booty-ful cover in November, Kanye West graces the cover of PAPER magazine's "American Dream" issue. And rather than a normal Q&A interview, Yeezy shares his thoughts across 12 pages in the publication to give us a sneak peek at who he is and his most inner thoughts in a candid essay.
In his PAPER essay, the "Only One" rapper opens up about his thoughts on what he believes the American Dream is where he reveals he yearns for a world filled with peace. He also talks about the importance of mentoring younger artists. He writes,
I know people want to talk about the American Dream, but my dream is a world dream. It's a world in which everyone's main goal would be to help each other. The first thing I told my team on New Year's Day was, "You know, people say bad news travels fast, but this year let's make good news travel faster." You get back what you put out, and the more positive energy you put out, the more positive energy you'll get back. We had to do a lot of fighting in the past couple of years to get people to understand what we want to do, what we will do and what we're capable of doing.I think it's so important for me, as an artist, to give Drake as much information as I can, A$AP, Kendrick [Lamar], Taylor Swift, any of these younger artists as much information as I can to make better music in the future. We should all be trying to make something that's better. It's funny that I worked at the Gap in high school, because in my past 15 years it seems like that's the place I stood in my creative path -- to be the gap, the bridge.
Yeezy then goes on to also touches on being considered an official professional in the fashion industry & those who doubt his abilities:
I was speaking at a fashion award ceremony -- I gave the head of Milk Studios, Mazdack Rassi, the first award of the night -- and I talked about the concept of "the fashion insider." I believe that everyone is a fashion insider, because it's illegal to be naked. But in all seriousness, the fashion world can say, "Yo, you know what I mean: the inside insiders." I saw this article that asked, "Should Kanye leave fashion to the professionals?" That question is really ignorant, in a way, because the second I sell my first T-shirt or my first shoe, doesn't that make me a professional? And when you sit down with Riccardo Tisci at the Louvre and he pitches the idea of you wearing a leather kilt, which could be considered by all of your gangbanging friends as some sort of a dress or skirt, at that point you are now a part of the fashion world. You have paid your dues to be an insider. I paid my dues when I had to wear a kilt in Chicago, and friends would say, "What's your boy got on?" But there are warriors that have killed people in kilts in the past. Who gets to decide what's hard and what's not hard? When I saw this kilt, I liked it. I was into it. It looked fresh to me. I felt creative; I didn't feel limited by some perception.
He also shared childhood experiences that sparked his interest in the fashion industry and how he has transformed into an innovator:
When I was working at the Gap at 15, I don't think I had any desire to actually make clothes, but I always felt like that's what I wanted to be around. I loved the fabrics, I loved the colors, I loved the proportions. Abercrombie was too expensive for me and the Gap was too expensive for me. Even though I worked at the Gap, I didn't get enough hours to get a discount because I was a part-time employee, because I went to high school. At that time I focused mostly on painting and basketball, but then I took two steps away from my potential career as an artist. I had scholarships to Saint Xavier, the Art Institute of Chicago -- I went to the American Academy of Art on an arts scholarship, but I stepped back from that to paint in a different way. I chose to paint sonically. To chop samples in a Warhol-type way. I just looked at civilization: I'd have an assignment to do an ink drawing that took me two weeks, three weeks, and I'd show it to my friends and they'd say, "Cool. My friend can draw. Now let's go play ball. Let's go downtown and talk to some girls." But when I'd work on a track, I'd work on it for just that afternoon -- chop up a sample, put some drums to it. And if my friends liked it, we'd make a tape of it and play it all the way downtown. We'd listen to it all night, keep rewinding it. I made a decision at that point to focus on painting with sound instead of painting visually. I loved music. I loved it more than I love it now. But I think that can happen with anything. You can live in New York for 10 years and say, "I now want to move to San Francisco." It's just harder for me to do music now, period. It's easier for people who focus on it all day and who are younger in their concept of what they want to do with it. I am not what I would consider truly a musician. I am an inventor. I am an innovator.
Later, he addressed TIDAL being apart of the Illuminati in which he says celebrities don't "run anything" and that those type of rumors are ridiculous! He said:
I heard a comment -- a joke -- about the Tidal press conference being an Illuminati moment. If there was actually an Illuminati, it would be more like the energy companies. Not celebrities that gave their life to music and who are pinpointed as decoys for people who really run the world. I'm tired of people pinpointing musicians as the Illuminati. That's ridiculous. We don't run anything; we're celebrities. We're the face of brands. We have to compromise what we say in lyrics so we don't lose money on a contract. Madonna is in her 50s and gave everything she had to go up on an award show and get choked by her cape. She's judged for who she adopts. Fuck all of this sensationalism. We gave you our lives. We gave you our hearts. We gave you our opinions!

Review: Dairy Milk Honey Roasted Cashews and Hazelnuts
My wonderful cousin sent me a text about a new series of chocolate bars from Dairy Milk that I had to check out. They had fanciful names like Honey Roasted Cashews and Hazelnuts, Pretzel and Peanut Butter, and Toasted Coconut and Cashews. Neat, right? The strangest part of this concept is that, in my mind, […]Read more

January 30, 2017 -
Congressman Bill Posey (R-Rockledge) issued the following statement regarding recent travel restrictions issued by the President:
"Allowing unvetted immigration into the United States when we have been told there will be terrorists among them is risky and dangerous. I have supported pausing our refugee and immigration programs from nations that we know pose a serious national security threat and implementing 9/11 Commission recommendations, such as putting in place a reliable entry/exit system. In the past, presidents have rightly initiated similar travel restrictions. Our first responsibility is to protect the homeland, and we must do all we can to guard against terrorist threats to our nation."

NO THANK YOU! First ever toilet-themed cafe opens in US
Here is a restaurant that might make for a very weird date night. With a soft opening on October 11th, Magic Restroom Cafe is the first ever bathroom-themed cafe to hit the United States. The cafe is covered in toilets and urinals and if that makes you a little nauseous don't try their signature dish, "golden poop." Even though it's only chicken wings, tofu and rice, golden covered poop is not exactly something that you like to think about when eating.
The menu is Taiwanese-inspired and also features, "black poop," a chocolate sundae, and "bloody number two," a vanilla and strawberry sundae. Try not to throw up while ordering that! Restroom-themed restaurants have seen a rise in popularity in Taiwan and other Asian countries, but this City of Industry cafe is the first to make its way to America.
Grab a "seat!"
Yes, that is food in a toilet bowl. "Who wants to eat?!!!" No one.
Urinals in the lobby= very good chance someone will one day pee in these for real.
Row of toilet seating.
We're picturing a very awkward double date here.
Would you ever try it? Comment below!

One of Vogue's all-time most iconic covers in January 1990, CINDY CRAWFORD starred on along with Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington. But her previous covers for the magazine didn't trait one of her most famous trademarks - her mole.
"The first time they put me on the cover, they airbrushed off my mole," Cindy said in New York Fashion Week newspaper, The Daily. "Whenever they mess with the mole, I cringe!" she added.
In January this year, Kaia Gerber, 10 years old daughter of Crawford is set to follow her mother's modeling footsteps - having landed Versace's inaugural children swear campaign.
"At this point, she's too young to pursue a career; also there aren't even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl. But if she's 17 and wants to try it, of course, what can I say? She kind of jokingly said - I'm not even sure if it was jokingly - 'I might model first because you don't have to know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse.'" Crawford added.

Dunk your hands in a bowl of ice-cold water. "The cold water freeze-dries polish, sealing and hardening it quickly," says Belinda Rivera, a nail specialist in Austin, Texas. Allow nails to air-dry for two minutes, then submerge in ice-cold water for three minutes, which is enough time for the polish to harden completely.Another option: Blast nails with cool air from a hair dryer in between coats. This helps each layer of color dry as you go.Quick tip: Old nail polish can take forever to dry, since time can turn polish gooey and thick. Toss bottles when the polish begins to change color or separate. At that point, the lacquer has probably thickened and become unusable.
Place a cool, wet towel on the back of your neck. "When your face flushes during exercise, it's a normal physiological response to your body overheating," says Lydia Evans, a dermatologist in Chappaqua, New York. "Your blood vessels dilate and increase blood flow to the surface of the skin to cool it, which gives it that red appearance."A cold towel on the back of the neck constricts those blood vessels, numbs the nerve endings there, and helps lower your body temperature quickly, says Debra Luftman, a cosmetic dermatologist in Beverly Hills. Splashing cold water on your face will have the same effect.Quick tip: Carry a spray bottle filled with cold water to the gym. When you feel your face getting warm, spritz it with water. This will help keep the redness to a minimum.
"Wrap a bag of frozen vegetables in a thin towel and place it over your eyes for 10 minutes," says Debra Luftman, a cosmetic dermatologist. A night of sipping Champagne or eating salty foods can lead to fluid retention around the eyes. The cold of the bag stimulates circulation under the eyes, which helps bring down that fluid. (Why a bag of vegetables? Because it conforms to the contours of the face. Peas or corn works best.)A soft washcloth soaked in cool chamomile tea will also do the trick, since chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties.Quick tip 1: If you know you'll be drinking alcohol or eating salty foods, be sure to drink lots of water. You'll be less likely to puff out the next morning.Quick tip 2: To help prevent puffy eyes, prop up your head on two pillows when you go to sleep. Gravity is your friend when it comes to fluid retention.
Apply a 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, which calms inflammation, quells itchiness, and reduces redness. The force it takes to pull hairs out from the roots can inflame skin. Lydia Evans, a dermatologist, says, "Since coarse and thick hairs are more stubborn to remove, you'll probably experience more redness in areas where they grow," such as the bikini line and the underarms.Delicate spots, like the brows, are also prone to irritation. Apply a pea-size dab of hydrocortisone cream to red zones right after waxing.Quick tip: Don't schedule a waxing within three days of the start of your period, when skin tends to be extra sensitive.
Patch it with a tea bag. Nails can tear for many reasons: They're weak; they're soft; they've been soaking in water for too long, which softens them further.Whatever the cause, cut a tiny piece of paper from a tea bag (it should be big enough to cover the entire tear), apply a bead of nail glue to the paper (Krazy Glue works in a pinch), then press it on top of the tear, says Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Cosmetics. Allow the glue to dry, then gently file the top of the paper so that it is smooth and flush with the nail. Finish with a layer of base coat, two coats of nail polish, and a topcoat.Quick tip: Wear rubber gloves when washing dishes or using cleaning products. Water and chemicals can weaken nails and make them more likely to tear.Want to see this technique in action? Watch the video.
Sweep a cotton ball soaked in 100 percent lemon juice over stripy areas. "Citric acid from the lemon is a natural skin lightener and exfoliator," says Drita Ramadanovic, a spa manager at the Wynn resort, in Las Vegas. "It smooths away unevenly applied tanner by sloughing off overly tanned skin cells."Another option: Massage plain baking soda onto damp skin with small, gentle circular motions. Like lemon juice, baking soda will slough off freshly dyed cells and reveal untanned skin underneath.Quick tip: Cut your self-tanner with moisturizer. Mix equal parts of each in your palm and blend them together before applying. The diluted tanner will give you a more natural color.
Sadly, there's no fast way to grow out a bad haircut. That said, there are things you can do to minimize the nightmare until your hair grows back (which it does at a rate of about half an inch a month).First try washing and restyling your hair yourself, since the way a stylist does your hair can make it look worse than it really is, says Eric Fisher, owner of the Eric Fisher Salon, in Wichita, Kansas. Then rely on accessories to help you through the growing-out phase. A headband or a barrette can hold back too-short bangs, and a ponytail or a loose bun can camouflage too-flippy layers.Quick tip: If you're really unhappy with a cut, voice your dissatisfaction to the salon manager that day. Ask for a different stylist, who can help reshape the cut. Most managers will be happy to oblige.
Blow-dry from underneath, starting with the underlayers. "If you start drying your hair with the top layer, you end up scooping up wet hair from underneath and pulling it through the brush, rewetting the layers that are already dry," says Inez Gray, owner of the Habitude Salon and Spa, in Seattle.First apply mousse, which will coat the hair shafts and prevent them from absorbing more water. Then flip your head over, or clip the top up, and aim the dryer at the bottom layers first. Once the bottom layers are dry, use a brush to help dry and smooth the top layers. This technique will cut drying time by about a third.Quick tip 1: Don't blow-dry sopping-wet hair―you'll need to use high heat, which will lead to damage. Blot with a microfiber or terry towel first.Quick tip 2: To make your blow-dry even speedier, choose a dryer with at least 1,800 watts. A high-powered dryer gets the job done in less time than a lower-wattage one.
Cover them with mascara. As women age, hair follicles lose the ability to produce pigment; the result is gray hair. To cover up a single gray, swipe mascara that matches the rest of your hair onto it. (Or use a touch-up product, which is temporary color that comes in a mascara-like tube and washes out with your next shampoo.)If you begin to see a larger smattering of grays throughout your hair, try adding volume when you style. Spritz some volumizing spray onto the roots of the gray sections before you blow-dry, or back-comb sections to get them to stand away from your scalp. "Flat hair makes grays even more noticeable," says Eric Fisher, owner of the Eric Fisher Salon, in Wichita, Kansas.Quick tip: Get a cut with lots of layers. Fisher says, "It eliminates definitive parts and gives movement to the hair," both of which hide grays.
Splash warm water on your skin, then massage in a moisturizer. Skin cells contain fluid that acts as a cushion to keep the skin plump. When you're lying with your face smushed into a pillow for eight hours, that fluid seeps out of cells and is absorbed by your body. "This leads to creases," says Lydia Evans, a dermatologist in Chappaqua, New York.Once you get out of bed, skin cells will gradually plump up with fluid. The warm water speeds this along by enhancing blood flow to the area, and moisturizer rehydrates it. Massaging the moisturizer in helps to smooth creases away manually.Quick tip: Sleep on a smooth-fitting satin pillowcase instead of a cotton one. Satin won't bunch up under your skin, so you may be spared morning creases. (It will not, however, eliminate long-term wrinkles.)

Posts Tagged 'Web Security'
A typical practice for companies hoping to secure your networks as a result of Internet provocations is publishing their firewalls. What many of them probably don't get is the authentic threats may be within the online applications themselves which always come predominantly flawed when considering security. This only will mean that regardless of what type for protective software you've gotten, you could remain prone that will attacks simply because your web browser is inherently weaker and covers it's have exploitation.
With regards to this, lots of web practical application testing tools are accessible and being utilized just leading to a tools are usually released. The various tools basically accomplish automatic deciphering and constantly, the flaws that might be spotted comprise SQL treatment, cross-site scripting, as well as improper malfunction resolutions.
To ensure a world-wide-web application is certainly, indeed, secure, web transmission testing has become being conducted and allows become an intrinsic pat connected with efforts to assure security because of hackers. There's also a good forecast for everyone looking throughout the possibility of developing profit out from producing these kinds of applications.
Prior to anything, although, it is important to realize these applications are and the way they work. There happen to be many situations involved with regards to using and even assessing the way these methods work. First you will need to answer is definitely the question, who'll be while using computer? It isn't easy that will pinpoint who's liable for Web job application weaknesses. Apart from, it's something which just arises. Security users usually scan the applying and dispatch it that wills developers.
What almost all people would probably stress about these days certainly is the growing need within the for supplemental web safety measures components so you usually are safe and you should not become swayed within doing an item is consequently against basics. Common feel usually plays a very good role in anti-software or simply anti key loggers. Whenever chosen the right way, they shall do their project of ridding your laptop of the situations it must not be dealing through. Then using the support to a web request testing program, you will further strengthen your on the internet security thus you're very nearly safe any time you sit face-to-face with your pc.
With millions of worms and Trojan viruses just primed to infect your laptop when given the suitable opportunity, you may not have all reason not to ever have a version of a Windows Online Security? Online is your technological marvel that permits unprecedented degrees of communication, but countless unscrupulous individuals use a technology that will wreak mayhem among Web users by generating viruses along with malware. Protecting your body against all these threats really should be your important priority; especially should you use your laptop to conduct online businesses.
Many people don't realize the different types of adware and spyware and how you can negatively impact your personal machine performance, or even just expose secret data that has no business from the hands from others. Better focusing on how these or adware programs work gives you insight into your protection you must have for your laptop.
Two of the most extremely common different types of malware this affect laptops today are actually viruses and also Trojans. Viruses could be the most poisonous to all computer simply because can connect themselves for you to any executable file on your hard disk, replicate, and mainly destroy your components before guess what happens has developed. Preventing such type of replication plus destruction really should be your important priority; it's no wonder that an anti-virus is required.
Trojans happen to be aptly named simply because provide the back entrance into your current computer's network so that the hacker this spread the particular Trojan enable you to access any sensitive information on your hard disk. While Trojans will not operate like a virus during that they can't destroy your laptop or computer, they are found as bad simply because provide some back front door to important data. This is devastating have you ever used your MasterCard or checking account online, since all the hacker can obtain those details.
With the quality of information available using the web today, how may we guarantee that our internet site is maintained safe because of danger? Just like you might learn, there usually are dangers which exist over the internet and any time we you should never look into the security in our website, our information aren't safe. For the e-commerce internet site that achieves numerous transactions everyday with purchase of goods, website stability is key aspect to guarantee the safety on the business. Simply because there usually are many hackers available that are about to steal consumer credit information and put it to use to his or her advantage. They can be hackers hired from your competitors to make sure you steal material from people. So, whichever sort of web based business you happen to be running, you have to observe the security of your respective website.
Certain steps which you could take to make certain the security of the website is usually well held. The key would be to change a passwords ever so often so of the fact that hackers cannot really hack into one's body. They really are constantly uncovering new practices to destroy into sites but they'll not succeed if perhaps we adjust our passwords ever so often. However, we don't need to change some of our password excessively because that may complicate matters and it is worse any time we get confused and forget about our code. There are usually certain situations that people should modification our security password and allow us to see when it must be.
The 1st situation is usually to change some of our password in some initial time. It usually is every 30 days, or every ninety days time. Simply, this is to make certain that the hacker isn't going to be able to help bypass a lot of our security. Together with the improvement with technology, newer software having to do with hackers can certainly break into our bodies easily in the event that we continue using the equivalent password for long periods. So, we must set some sort of reminder for you to remind us to alter our pass word every couple of weeks and that should ensure your safety in our website.
There are actually many manages lying on line that may affect your website and many commonly, this occurs to websites which were constantly employing details with customers moving in and out day-to-day. Online security is usually an issue that Marilyn and I mustn't ignore because a particular small fault can demolish years in effort. For anyone who is running a particular e-commerce web site, you will realize that security is significant because your prospects purchase products and solutions through your web blog revealing one's own credit facts. They implement it because many trust your own website's security measure. If in a moment, ones security breaks, you will mislay your credibleness. Therefore, maintaining a security is necessary for your web success.
To guarantee the safety with the website, you can go up your password on occasion. Hackers are developing new methods to hack to other ancestors systems and that of which why it is not necessarily safe to stay using 1 password for very long. Nowadays, hackers utilize software towards hack into the body which is becoming a lot more capable around doing that since they are getting more receptive to the safeguards taken by internet marketers. By varying your username and password every several month, you might have the cyber-terrorist chasing a trail preserving then from exploding.
In a second case, it's also sensible to change your own password any time you fire most people employee which happen to have the use of your procedure. You never understand what someone would can under tempers and they could be especially hostile or maybe dangerous understand what take a needed safeguard measurements. Employees which lost his or heir's job regularly have a grudge not to mention might discuss your account details to the competition and which might be very dangerous. So, you are able to prevent this any time you change a password after a worker resigns or after getting sack them all.
On usual mistake more and more people make is with one password for those their website's needs. in the event one profile is hacked, all your own accounts are actually under financial risk because hackers is able to get into all you could accounts sign in forums lose everything. So, it is important that you select different security passwords for completely different account to become safe as compared with sorry.
Not simply does it try to keep information discreet, web reliability testing is usually useful with authentication in addition to authorization challenges. With progress in website technology, better assessing tools are actually developed to help expose an important web application's vulnerabilities. These tools assist you to determine these vulnerable areas with your websites and also make the changes to be able to strengthen any application's level of resistance to outlawed access.
Web use security examining tools must enable the creation regarding logs in order to track accomplishing this right kind URL submitting to bundle level points. Via that HTTP protocol you can actually identify headers directed and gained, and discover the blunder invoking rule. Web basic safety testing equipment must enable users to govern the online application just as one authenticated user so as to determine sensitive elements of the application which might be vulnerable. Moreover, the user is able to test the required forms and try different agreement roles.
The correct web safety measures testing tool are able to offer many ways of control what is scanned, allowing for easy testing in addition to saves time on top of that. A World Wide Web security software with code cracking capabilities may make the program secure and also tests the effectiveness of the account mechanism. It could be prudent to decide on an evaluate version in advance of actually acquiring one.
All this areas should be equally sorted out in safety testing given that every consumer connected online generally is a potential threat to your system. It is very important gather as often information as is feasible in world-wide-web application basic safety testing. It is vital to figure out how people get your net application and any type of information they deal with. These in most cases include responses & very sensitive information embedded inside html reference code, error email generated with the server, along with application oversight messages. These aspects should be considered through web app development.

J&J consolidates, rebrands Ethicon units
J&J's motley, intersecting corporate family tree and decentralized structure are legendary in an industry whose mantra is "focus." It seems to work for them. But in one small corner of its sprawling empire – its Ethicon surgical products business – the company is consolidating brands to present a single face to physicians and health systems.The rebrand reunites Ethicon Inc., which makes surgical sutures and wound closure devices, with Ethicon Endo-Surgery, a manufacturer of medical devices and surgical implements specializing in minimally-invasive surgery, which was spun off in 1992.
"We believe that by unifying these two iconic brands, we can fulfill this promise of delivering innovation and create a better experience for our customers by enabling a simpler and more productive way of working with us," said VP, global strategic marketing Laura Angelini.A unified sales force will field around 600 reps in the US.
Consolidation in the healthcare industry is a large part of why J&J is bringing the two Ethicon units back together."The US market is going through a lot of changes, with consolidation, vertical-ization and integration," said Angelini. "The purchasing models are changing, becoming more and more concentrated in the hands of a few purchasing groups, and these people really demand a different interaction with suppliers and partners. This gives them access to our portfolio in a way that is simplified, easier for them to deal with, and really enables the partnership with the key accounts and institutions that we want to establish."
The company and its branding agency decided to hold on to the Ethicon name, which has accrued 80 years' worth of brand equity. Customers associate Ethicon with partnership, trust and equity, said Angelini. They identified a "brand promise:" "Better surgery for a better world." Fulfilling that, she said, rests on three pillars: continued innovation and delivery of market-appropriate products, improved access to care globally, and good works by employees and the company.Ethicon also adopted a new logo and visual template featuring a colorful spectrum representing "the optimism of better surgery and also the variety of the markets and conditions we deal with," said Angelini. A red arrow represents "the ability of the company, which is by far the biggest medical device company in the world, to provide focus and attention and serve the needs of the customers and the patients."
The company launched the new brand identity internally at the beginning of the year.
"Our people are the expression of our brand with our customers," said Angelini. "The medical device business is such that our sales reps and commercial people around the world have a very direct connection with our customers, both surgeons and other stakeholders."In the US, the brand debuted at the April Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons annual meeting in Baltimore, where the company fielded a booth touting its work with cleft palate charity Operation Smile. It will roll out globally over the next few months.

Rapper J.cole has paid tribute to a black teenager killed by a police officer in Missouri by releasing a new song dedicated to him.
Darren Wilson shot unarmed Michael Brown, who was suspected of stealing a box of cigars from a suburban St. Louis store, on 9 August (14), and the incident has sparked a series of tense protests between African-Americans and civil rights leaders and officials in the state.
As Governor Jay Nixon, President Barack Obama and Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson join forces in a bid to end days of violence, hip-hop star Cole has released Be Free to voice his frustrations with the deaths of African-American men in the U.S.
In a post on his website, Dreamvillain.com, he writes, "That coulda (sic) been me, easily. It could have been my best friend. I'm tired of being desensitized to the murder of black men. I don't give a f**k if it's by police or peers. This s**t is not normal. I made a song. This is how we feel."
Cole is not the only celebrity to speak out about the incident in Missouri - John Legend, Kerry Washington and Mark Ruffalo have voiced concerns over the treatment of protesters by police following the shooting.
Legend took to Twitter.com to voice his opinion, writing, "I believe these cops are intentionally trying to inflame the situation. They want an excuse. Recall the local cop telling those 'animals' to 'bring it' on (news channel) CNN... He wants a fight.
"Calling us 'animals' has been the language to justify slavery... Dehumanization and racism go together."
Meanwhile, R&B star Frank Ocean took to Tumblr.com to comment on an image of Governor Nixon standing in front of a black woman as he addressed the slaying of Brown and wrote, "You see that black woman standing up there? I wonder if she was called to stand behind the governor because she's black. I wonder if i'm supposed to think Missouri's gov't is pro-black because of her being stood up there with those other black men being all black and everything. I wonder if she was off the clock while she stood up there... then i wonder if she was getting paid for her time off like the guy who shot Michael 8 times."

Aldous Huxley Quotes About JusticeQuotes about: Justice
The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.
The soul of wit may become the very body of untruth. However elegant and memorable, brevity can never, in the nature of things, do justice to all the facts of a complex situations. On such a theme one can be brief only by omission and simplification. Omission and simplification help us to understand - but help is, in many cases, to understand the wrong thing; for our comprehension may be only of the abbreviator's neatly formulated notions, not of the vast, ramifying reality from which these notions have been so arbitrarily abstracted.

Personal Development
Cognitive Dissonance
When actions don't correspond with beliefs
Stock Adobe Royalty Free Images
Identifying which attitudes and behaviors boost flourishing is easy, integrating them is the challenge. We happen upon an insight and feel good. But recognition doesn't create change. Many things interrupt the work before change takes hold—ego protections, lack of self-discipline, lack of required knowledge and skill. Our brain—thoughts and emotions—also stand in the way, creating unhealthy interference, preventing implementation of desired behaviors. The chasm between who we are and who we think we are can run wide and deep. Until we grasp reality of self, we may never bridge the gap between who we are and who we desire to be.
Many nemeses interfere with a non-distorted self-view. Social learning, ego defenses, and contrived explanations alter self-perceptions. These little creepers infest and distort thinking. An undistorted view of self may not be pleasant, opening painful and unwelcomed realizations. Traveling into the vortex of personal imperfections seems to be a forgotten journey. We want to be wonderful, kind and funny. Most of my generation was raised on a staple diet of "you are special"—we never took note that if everyone was special, the specialness isn't truly that special.
When we—in all our specialness—act contradictory to beliefs about ourselves, the contradiction creates discomfort. We may temporarily mitigate the discomfort by changing focus to relieve the contradiction. We ignore evidence revealing shortcomings, weaknesses or faults. The imperfections scare us. Perhaps a fear of ineptness; unless we are perfect life will overwhelm and run us over. Flat. So we neglect deeper personal examination, remain special, and appropriate for lives challenges. While this course may boost confidence, it fails to detect faulty habits that disrupt intentions, and destroy hopes.
We avoid conscious self-examination. Instead of a consciously directed life, we live an impulse directed life, which we then smooth over with justifications, avoidance and external projections. Our impulses are not ethically charged, nor are they always future directed; instead impulses play out biological and social programming. We are driven to act in self-interest and for self-protection. These drives are essential, allows genes to promulgate more effectively.
Without careful self-reflection, we slip into deceptions, believing our behaviors are justified in line with characteristics we desire; but in reality they lack compassion, fairness, or honesty. Change requires we acknowledge these automatic protections leading us off course. Only then can we realign our current trajectory to push us towards our cherished intentions. As we act in accordance with the person we wish to be, we relieve inner conflicts between stated values and external behaviors, freeing mental energy for more creative and responses to the world.

Plastic Surgery Registries Network (PSRN)
The Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF) and American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) are facilitating evidence-based medicine by bringing together plastic surgeons, other specialists, and government leaders who seek to answer important questions that can best be addressed through broad registry participation. The Plastic Surgery Registries Network (PSRN), the registry suite of ASPS/PSF, has been actively collecting plastic surgery data since 2002. The program has evolved over the past 15 years from one registry to five registries, now collecting data on plastic surgery procedures, outcomes, devices, and rare diseases. The goal of the PSRN is to help plastic surgeons identify safe, effective treatments for their patients. PSRN registries also provide a means for quality reporting and practice improvement activities.
For more information on the PSRN Registries, please click on the links below:
General Registry for Autologous Fat Transfer (GRAFT) is a US based, nationwide registry that prospectively collects data on procedures and outcomes of fat grafting performed for all aesthetic and reconstructive surgical procedures. Data collected in GRAFT will provide insight into safety and efficacy of these procedures and help establish best practice guidelines, that will have a broad impact on the plastic surgery community. All board certified plastic surgeons can enter and track fat grafting procedures performed to any area of the body by participating in GRAFT.
Tracking Operations & Outcomes for Plastic Surgeons (TOPS) is a HIPAA compliant, secure and confidential national database of plastic surgery procedures and outcomes. Launched in 2002, this evidence-based tool provides the ability to efficiently follow patients over time and was designed to assist plastic surgeons with clinical decision making and practice improvement by identifying clinical strengths and areas needing improvement on an individual level with national benchmarking. TOPS contains over 1.5 million plastic surgery procedures with more than 14 years in clinical use. All ASPS members and candidates for membership who practice in the US are encouraged to participate in the TOPS program.
ASPS Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR) is a CMS approved repository of physician performance measures for federal quality reporting. Members are benchmarked against national CMS results and their peers to inform their quality improvement efforts and improve patient outcomes. The ASPS QCDR contains a mix of CMS approved Quality Payment Program (QPP) and non-QPP measures. These include two breast reconstruction measures specifically developed for plastic surgeons.
The Patient Registry and Outcomes For breast Implants and anaplastic large cell Lymphoma etiology and Epidemiology (PROFILE) Registry is a collaboration between ASPS, The PSF, and the FDA to better understand the role of breast implants in the etiology of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) in order to determine whether an association exists between the device and the disease. Physicians practicing in the United States are encouraged to report their cases to firstname.lastname@example.com.
NBIR Coming Soon
The Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF) is working with the FDA and breast implant device manufacturers to develop a National Breast Implant Registry (NBIR) for the purpose of strengthening the post-marketing surveillance infrastructure for current and future breast implant devices. The NBIR is currently in a Pilot Phase, with plans to launch broadly in 2018. For additional information or if you are interested in being a pilot site, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

Low-Hanging Fruit: Zach Snyder's Meh-pic Battle
All week, bloodthirsty critics have devoured "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," spat it back out and described what an awful taste it left in their mouths. At first, it seemed like they were opportunistically going after low-hanging fruit. But after seeing "Batman v Superman" myself, I realized that I am not above these other critics.

RAQC consolidates information on 8-Hr Ozone SIP work
The RAQC has been working with State agencies, local governments, industry, environmental groups, citizens and other interested parties to develop a State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone Standard for the Denver/North Front Range Ozone Nonattainment area. All the work is posted by date under Subcommittee Information and/or Board Meetings, when discussed. In an effort to make access easier, the RAQC has created a page under its "Our Programs" tab for State Implementation Plans which includes hyperlinks to the process components and the documentation provided throughout the process. This page can also be accessed through the Current SIP Efforts link located on the front page within the Next Board Meeting box.
The RAQC anticipates Board approval and endorsement of a plan at its late June meeting (date TBD). The SIP will then be submitted to the Air Quality Control Commission with a Request for Hearing on July 21, 2016.
Please direct technical questions to Amanda Brimmer.

Rihanna's Heart Beats Only For Drake Because He's Chris Brown's Opposite
Rihanna just loves her some Drake. Sources say she is completely head over heals for the Canadian rapper because he is the complete opposite of Chris Brown.
Rihanna, 26, has found love finally in Canadian rapper, Drake, 27. Apparently, she's a moth to his flame because his doesn't burning out of control like ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. The mild-tempered Drake is a welcome change to the hot-tempered and currently incarcerated Chris, a source revealed.
Rihanna Drake: Singer is Happy With New Boo Because He Is Not Chris Brown
Ever since the two were spotted cuddling up around Europe together rumors have been circulating that Rihanna can't get enough of how Drake makes her feel. It was recently revealed in Star Magazine that Rihanna also loves how Drake is nothing like Chris.
"She soon realized that Drake is the perfect gentleman — the opposite of Chris. He [Drake] treats her like a queen," a source close to Rihanna revealed in the article.
And boy does Drake know how to treat his lady like royalty. Some of the rapper's latest gifts to his island queen have included a $38,000 diamond Cartier watch and a $7,500 love bracelet from the same jeweler's collection.
Rihanna Loves Drake Because He's The Opposite Of Chis Brown
Drake and Rihanna certainly only have eyes for each other at this point and previously HollywoodLife.com learned exactly what that entails.
"Nothing is official in terms of their relationship but they're still dating and sleeping with each other exclusively," an insider told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"You'll see them out and about, holding hands and being all lovey dovey these days. It's no secret that he belongs to her and she to him," the insider added.
What do you think HollywoodLifers, are these two destined to be a couple forever? Let us know what you think.

The things that happen when you start a little blog about the city you live in are quite amazing. I now regularly receive little gifts in the mail like city, restaurant and biergärten guides as well as invitations and free passes to events.
I even got a request from HGTV a month or so again asking for help finding local expats who have recently purchased a house.
I have no idea how these people find me.
Other times, I do though, like this write up in the München Merkur. It's fun to get emails from friends telling me they were sitting in the Ubahn reading the paper and then - bam! There's my face.
Look out, world!

Mind Control
By Ken Adachi
The topic of mind control is elaborate, multifaceted, and multi layered. For the casual reader, it can quickly become numbing, overwhelming the senses and creating a desire to exit the topic, but avoiding this subject is the most foolish thing you could possibly do since your only chance of surviving this hideous and insidious enslavement agenda, which today threatens virtually all of humanity, is to understand how it functions and take steps to reduce your vulnerability.
Complete Article:
Re: Mind Control
Excellent point. As you may know, the old adage to "Follow the money" will usually turn up others who arer involved, such as the University of Pennsylvania (grants, etc.), The NIMH, NASA, ad nauseam!
One aspect of mind control not yet widely known is the experimentation on adults who have pre-existing conditions. In other words, adults who already have a trauma base in their lives are all in danger of nonconsensual experimentation.
Why is this important? Because if you go to the "Wrong" psychiatrist or psychologist, you might get reported to the "Wrong" organisations.
It means that they try to access your unresolved trauma; the earlier in life, the better. How do I know this? Well, I have first-hand knowledge of how some of it feels, but DON'T TELL ANYBODY! :-o (hint!)
One example of how a cult can access childhood trauma for the purposes of control is the isolation room. You see, we all have certain traumatic experiences as humans: the trauma of birth being one of them. The first time you are out of your mama, you begin to experience a cacophony of sights, sounds, and other sensations, all assaulting your little mind which cannot sort them out. It is extremely disorienting and frightening for the infant, thus the need to be held by the mother as soon as possible.
But, back to the isolation room. When a new initiate is "ready" she is doused with water and put into a cell which is cold and has bright lights on, day and night. The cult will play prerecorded messages, or perhaps speak to her directly through a microphone, such things as "You are all alone, nobody wants you . . ."
The desired effect is to access the trauma of birth so that when she is reunited with the other cult members, it will fell like "Being held by mama" for the first time. See how easy that is? And this is just a stupid little cult! Imagine what highly trained psychiatrists could do without your awareness! :-o

Tulowitzki's homer rallies Rockies over Reds 5-4
Tulowitzki's homer rallies Rockies over Reds 5-4
Troy Tulowitzki hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning - a call changed after the umpires initially ruled fan interference - and the Colorado Rockies held on for a 5-4 victory Tuesday night that ended their streak of six consecutive losses to the Cincinnati Reds.
A fan with a glove in left field reached and grabbed Tulowitzki's fly ball off Sam LeCure (1-1). The umpires initially ruled interference, but changed the call and awarded Tulowitzki his 13th homer after reviewing video that showed the ball had cleared the wall.
The Reds took a 4-3 lead in the seventh on Edgmer Escalona's balk. Josh Outman (2-0) fanned Joey Votto and Jay Bruce to end that rally.
The Rockies are 2-6 against the Reds over the last two seasons.

Last week at Veterans Memorial Park in Ocala, on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, there was a ceremony to honor those who have served our country.
It was a proud moment for Marion County. The park was packed with a crowd estimated at about 3,000 people, much larger than most any event ever at the park, and except for the Christmas parade, big football games and Silver Springs concerts, possibly the largest gathering anywhere in the county.
Of course, part of the crowd was a captive audience with a multitude of school children in attendance.
Marion County Schools were in session that day.
When some schools across the country started having classes on Veterans Day, some people objected. But school spokesman Kevin Christian pointed out at the ceremony that the schools had gone to veterans' groups and asked, and all the groups said school should be in session, but the students should be spending the day learning about the sacrifices that veterans make.
It seemed to work as bleachers were packed with well-behaved young people.
Students from various schools in Marion took part. There were several military groups, such as JROTC units, there were elementary school singers, there were drill teams, and there were individual students taking part.
Our area of the county could be proud of its young people. The West Port Jazz Band played music beforehand, and a drum solo during the presentation of colors was a moving moment. Hammett Bowen contributed a Color Guard and some singers, and the West Port a capella group was as good as you would hear anywhere, when the flyover of jets wasn't drowning them out. A couple of Hammett Bowen students read tributes to an injured vet who has become a project for the students.
It was a strong reminder that education doesn't always need to take part in a structured classroom setting. Sometimes "field trips" such as this enhance the learning process, and we're reasonably sure that some teachers took advantage by having students answer some quiz questions when they got back to the schools.
We're sure that the veterans who attended were impressed by the attention being paid by the students. We hope this becomes an annual event, with the schools that perform being rotated so that all can get a chance to show off their skills.
We join with all these students in saying "thank you" to our veterans for a job well done.

We're pretty sure there are plenty of free-thinking readers out there who've yet to be convinced by the TV world's current fascination with 3D. Or at any rate, there are plenty of you not convinced enough to cough up the currently very hefty sums of cold, hard cash demanded by every 3D TV we've seen to date.
Which is precisely why Samsung's LE46C750 could potentially be so important. For while every other 3D TV we've seen has struggled to get below the £2k price level, we've found this Samsung 3D set going for only slightly over a grand. A fact which becomes even more remarkable when you consider that the LE46C750 has a whopping 46in screen rather than being some 'paltry' 37-40in effort.
What this price effectively means is that you could easily just buy the LE46C750 as a good value 2D telly, and treat its 3D abilities as an optional extra that you can take or leave as you wish. Excellent. Or at least it will be excellent if the TV is actually any cop.
Accustomed as we are now to seeing Samsung's name attached to TVs of almost supernatural slenderness, the rather hefty butt on the LE46C750 comes as a bit of a shock. But in true Jennifer Lopez style, the fact that the LE46C750's 'got back' doesn't preclude it from being something of a looker. For its bezel is appealingly glossy and minimalistic, futuristically angular (for yes, in our vision of the future, everything is angular!!), and wrapped up rather cutely by a see-through outer trim.
There's also a good solid technical reason for the LE46C750's relatively chunky profile, namely that rather than the edge LED technology Samsung has embraced so successfully, the LE46C750 uses good old traditional CCFL backlighting. This goes a long way in itself to explain just how the LE46C750 is so much cheaper than the rest of the 3D TV fraternity.
Don't get to thinking that the use of ordinary CCFL lighting in the LE46C750 is a sign that Samsung has skimped on features generally, though. For starters, the set features what Samsung calls 400 CMR processing. Clearly meant to evoke the 400Hz processing claims being bandied about – inaccurately – by some other brands without being quite so technically misleading, the 400CMR system actually comprises a true 200Hz engine in conjunction with a scanning backlight.
This system is great to find on such an affordable 3D TV, since it should help counter the sort of LCD motion blurring problems that tend to be emphasised when you're watching 3D material.
The LE46C750's connections are also more plentiful than you might expect of a TV that's trying to keep its price down. There are four HDMIs for a start, built to the v1.4 3D-capable spec. It's good to see, too, that the RF input feeds a Freeview HD tuner rather than just a standard definition one, and that Samsung has gone to the trouble of making the set a true multimedia centrepiece via an Ethernet port and two USBs.

The Art Market Shows Signs of Life
Sales were strong at fall auctions, though some key works fell short
The U.S. art market appears to be on the mend. The major fall art auctions may not have sold everything on offer, but collectors showed a renewed willingness to bid up top examples of artists' work. Dealers also said inflation fears and expectations of higher bonuses in the financial markets stoked strong bidding.
New York's two chief auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's International, brought in about $596 million combined from their semi annual sales of Impressionist, modern and contemporary art in the past two weeks....

Independent Jewish Voices slams Conservative Party's attack on BDS campaign in House of Commons
Ottawa, ON—In what is clearly designed to be an attention-grabbing opposition-day move, the Conservatives are demanding that the House of Commons back a motion to reject the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, urging the government to condemn attempts by Canadian organizations, groups, or individuals to promote it both in Canada and abroad.
"This is so disappointing," said Tyler Levitan, campaigns coordinator for Independent Jewish Voices Canada. "At a time when we need real leadership, we're getting old ideas that have passed their moment. Around the world, support is growing for the BDS campaign to exert pressure on Israel to change its ways. The red herring that BDS is anti-Semitic is now clearly nothing more than a way to shut down legitimate discussion regarding Israel/Palestine."
Debate on the Conservatives' motion began in the House of Commons on Thursday, but the vote will take place today.
"We're well aware that the major political parties feel a need to protect themselves from criticism in the mainstream Jewish community in Canada, which continues to give unquestioning support to Israel. Unfortunately, it appears that the Trudeau government will echo the position of the Conservatives on this issue," Levitan continued.
"This is really shameful. Israel has long been in violation of international law but apparently no one is allowed to say this or oppose it. BDS is a completely non-violent exercise of free speech, a global campaign that has been attempting to increase economic, political and moral pressure on Israel for positive change," concluded Levitan.
While both the NDP and Green Parties are opposed to BDS, both intend to vote against the Conservatives' resolution on the grounds that advocating BDS constitutes a legitimate form of free speech. The Bloc Québécois also intends to oppose the motion.

Indiana and 'right to work' This isn't directly related to the controversial shutdown of the London, Ont., locomotive plant, but the decision by Caterpillar Inc. and subsequent focus on Indiana got me wondering about "right to work" legislation.
Whether you call it "right to work" or "anti-union" depends on which side of the bargaining table you're on, and the research is all over the map.
Caterpillar's Progress Rail Services announced Friday that it's shutting down its Electro-Motive Canada plant in London, a 62-year-old operation where 700 jobs will be lost, including those in management. The work will be moved to other plants in North and South America because, the company said, costs at the London operation must be competitive.
It locked out its union, which had said no to deep wage cuts.
Caterpillar didn't specify where the jobs would go, but Indiana is the logical candidate, given that there's an operation there, and the company held a packed job fair on the weekend, offering work at far less pay than in Canada.
This came at the same time that Indiana became the 23rd state in the country, and the first in about a decade, to adopt such "right to work" legislation. Though unconnected, it got me poking around, particularly in two studies cited by The Wall Street Journal.
Such legislation means that a worker can't be forced automatically to pay union dues, a long-running practice that meant you paid because you were represented. (In Canada, it has been known as the Rand formula, based on a ruling by Justice Ivan Rand in a strike by what was then the United Auto Workers against Ford in the mid-1940s.)
Unions, of course, don't like what Indiana and others have done, complaining the removal of automatic dues weakens their ability. Business and government hold another view.
"Indiana will improve still further its recently earned reputation as one of America's best places to do business, and we will see more jobs and opportunity for our young people and for all those looking for a better life," Governor Mitch Daniels declared as he signed the bill last week.
The governor also said those who objected to the new law were unnecessarily troubled: "No one's wages will go down, no one's benefits will be reduced, and the right to organize and bargain collectively is untouched and intact."
Is he right?
In a study published by the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, researchers Elise Gould and Heidi Shierholz found that wages in right-to-work states are 3.2 per cent below those of states without such legislation. The rate of health insurance that is sponsored by employers is 2.6 percentage points lower, and for employer pension plans 4.8 percentage points lower.
The EPI is described on the liberal side of the spectrum. Contrast that with the National Institute for Labor Relations Research in Springfield, Va., which is clearly on the other side of the table, describing itself as a non-profit body "analyzing and exposing the inequities of compulsory unionism."
Its study found that employment growth in right-to-work states outpaced the others from 2000 to 2010 (in fact, employment fell in the others). At the same 10-year span, manufacturing growth climbed, as did compensation in the private sector.
David Doorey, an Associate Professor of Labour and Employment law at York University's School of Human Resource Management, seems to have the best answer: There's no substantial proof either way.
"There are dozens of studies 'showing' that these laws decrease wages and benefits and have no positive effect on employment levels ... and dozens showing the exact opposite," he says on his workplace law blog.
He does note, however, that the voluntary nature of dues payment makes it harder for unions to raise the money they need.
"The entire point of this type of legislation is to cut off resources from unions so that they become weak and ineffective," Dr. Doorey says.
"Proponents argue that it creates jobs, on the theory that there are a bunch of anti-union employers who will flock to whatever state passes the law ... Opponents dispute that claim, and argue that all it does it allow employers in those states to pay workers less and give them fewer health and pension benefits. They claim it is part of the race to the bottom that corporations encourage and that Republican politicians are more than happy to implement in exchange for the huge political contributions to their campaigns."

Patience wears thin I chuckled today when I read on the wires that patience is wearing thin where Greece is concerned. That's true, of course, but patience was wearing thin about 18 months ago.
Here's what you need to know: The crisis drags on with no agreement among political leaders to meet the terms of the Troika, the international lending group that includes the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank, that will pave the way for fresh bailout funds. Indeed, a key politicial meeting has now been pushed into tomorrow. Nor is there a deal with private creditors on the terms of the hit they'll take as part of Greece's overall plan.
At the same time, major unions are striking again today, which, as Greece goes, also isn't really news.
As one government official put it to Reuters, "we must find a solution today." I thought that was the issue 18 months ago, too. Or at least yesterday, when Germany's Angela Merkel and France's Nicolas Sarkozy again pushed the Greeks to come to terms lest the euro zone fall apart.
"The political climate in Greece suggests otherwise and as such continues to make any deal to implement further austerity difficult, especially with a 24-hour strike starting today, as workers protest at new austerity measures, while politicians have one eye on a general election due in April," said CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson, pointing out why the talks are so difficult.
"No one in Greece wants to be seen to be tightening the austerity noose even tighter for fear of being punished at the polls," he added.
"Some measures have been agreed including a 20-per-cent cut in the minimum wage and 15,000 public sector job cuts," he said in a research note today.
"Disagreement remains over around €1.2-billion of around €4.2-billion worth of government spending reductions. Even if agreement is reached, given past experience it would be naïve in the extreme to believe that any of the new measures could actually be delivered in the face of such public opposition."
For now, many still see a Greek bankruptcy as inevitable, and the stakes are high as the clock ticks down.
"It's a classic case of gamesmanship as each party weigh up who has the most to lose," said Lauren Rosborough of Société Générale. "As with all 'public' items any benefit or loss is shared – the obvious loser if an agreement isn't satisfactorily reached will be the global economy."

Glencore, Xstrata agree to terms Glencore International and Xstrata, which owns Canada's Falconbridge, unveiled their blockbuster merger today, a marriage that would create a global mining giant valued at $90-billion (U.S.), The Globe and Mail's Eric Reguly reports.
The deal joins Glencore, the world's biggest commodities trader, with one of the biggest producers of thermal coal, copper, zinc and nickel.
The merger has been expected for some time. Glencore already owns 34 per cent of Xstrata and has wanted to buy the rest since Glencore's initial public offering in London last spring.
As Reuters reports, the deal isn't necessarily in for smooth sailing given that two major Xstrata shareholders don't like it.
- Xstrata, Glencore agree to terms on merger
- Xstrata-Glencore deal a possible game changer
- Glencore-Xstrata deal meets shareholder opposition
Wal-Mart gets ready Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is sprucing itself up for the arrival in Canada of rival Target Corp. .
The Canadian arm of the world's largest retailer announced today that it plans to spend more than $750-million on more than 70 projects this year. That includes building new stores as well as expanding and overhauling others. Most of the Zellers stores it got the rights to will be included, and will reopen as Wal-Mart outlets. There are 39 of those.
Target promises to shake up Canada's retailing scene, which Wal-Mart did almost two decades ago, when it begins opening its outlets next year.
Building permits surge Permits for construction starts in Canada surged more than 11 per cent in December, reaching the highest level since June 2007 and suggesting that low interest rates continue to feed the industry.
However, much of the surge was due to condo development in Ontario, where the Toronto market is a concern. In Alberta, though, commercial construction added nicely to the numbers, Statistics Canada said today.
"Construction intentions for multi-family dwellings rose 28.9 per cent to $1.9-billion," the federal agency said. :It was the second consecutive monthly increase and the highest level recorded since December 2005. The growth was due to major condominium and apartment building projects initiated in Ontario."
Australia holds firm Australia's central bank surprised many market players today by holding firm on interest rates.
Most had expected the Reserve Bank of Australia to trim its benchmark cash rate by one-quarter of a percentage point, but policy makers held it steady at 4.25 per cent, citing Europe's troubles and new forecasts for slowing economic growth, but a "continuing moderate expansion" in the United States.
Governor Glenn Stevens did leave the door open.
"With growth expected to be close to trend and inflation close to target, the board judged that the setting of monetary policy was appropriate for the moment," he said. "Should demand conditions weaken materially, the inflation outlook would provide scope for easier monetary policy."
Charles St-Arnaud of Nomura in New York said he expects the central bank will now hold steady through to 2013.
