EuropeNews 01 February 2012
It would seem appropriate to praise the leaders of the European Union to finally have found a solution to the financial crisis by means of the new EU fiscal pact, or Treaty. As EU President Herman van Rompuy puts it:
A treaty at 25 is quite an achievement, given that the eurozone itself comprises of only 17 members.
That's a nice display of Strength, Unity and Determination. Well, sort of. The United Kingdom and the Czech Republic have chosen not to join, but may be joining later. The Czech President Vaclac Klaus explained (ibid) that he would refuse to sign it, for the Treaty does not pay enough attention to debt, and it would be dubious if the Czech parliament could be persuaded to ratify it.
One of the main purposes of the Treaty is to 'Restore confidence' in the euro, so that inverstors will once more lend money to the member states of the European Union and fund their deficits. That has been somewhat dubious over the last two years, with in particular Greece hovering on the bank of outright bankruptcy. That issue is still unresolved, but should not be ground for particular concern, nor should the notion to appoint a 'Czar' to be ruling Greece until the crisis is over. We have Angela Merkel and Nikolas Sarkozy in charge, that should suffice.
What does the Fiscal Treaty do?
More interesting is the question: What does the new Treaty contain, what is the practical content?
If one turns to EUobserver.com, the following explanation of the Treaty can be found:
An EU official at a summit in Brussels Monday likened the fiscal compact to a "gothic" structure: he said the EU Treaty is a cathedral with side chapels for "fervent" believers (Schengen or eurozone members), but needs a buttress (the compact) after one member (the UK) stopped repairs on foundations.
While this is a neat metaphor (Frankish architecture is grand, for sure), it doesn't explain much about the Treaty, apart from it being something to look up to and to believe in.
One component is a so-called European Stability Mechanism, to be loaded up with money:
EU leaders have rubber stamped an agreement by finance ministers establishing the European Stability Mechanism from 1 July, a €500bn bail-out fund to replace the temporary European Financial Stability Facility which runs out at the end of 2012. The ceiling of the two funds is set to be increased in March.
The term 'rubber stamped' might be seen as a derogative, as approving something without the required understanding or without any freedom to reject it, but that surely cannot be the case. EU Leaders are not that incompetent or powerless, are they?
Anyway, there is a distinct difference between the ESM and normal investors in the financial markets, like pension funds, investment companies and hedge funds: The ESM is to lend its money to governments, not to private companies, and it is not meant to pursue profits. That might seem laudable in a world where profits are frowned upon, but it is hard to see how that is to achieve anything except delaying governments from defaulting on the debt they have already.
What about the deficits?
Apart from making more money available to bail out states (or rather their creditors) from excessive debt taken on, the Treaty also addresses the question of deficits directly, by demanding that signatories may not have budgets with structural deficits in excess of 0.5 % of their Gross Domestic Products.
- Two keywords here: 'Budget' and 'Structural':
- Budget: If a government fails to foresee the economic development through a year, budgets break. Actual deficits may become much larger than the budgets.
- Structural: 'Temporary' deficits due to recession and other adverse circumstances are not to be considered constrained by the Treaty.
The definition of 'Structural', unfortunately is left open and thus up to our politicians and civil servants to interpret. These 'experts' probably will argue that the deficits in these years of crisis are entirely temporary and will cease once the crisis is over.Deficits and more debt are seen as a necessary evil to 'kickstart' the economy and quickly restore wealth. This expansive strategy was first employed after the 1929 stock market crash in the USA. This led to a radically different economic development than after the similar 1920 stock market crash, where no stimulus was done, and public spending was cut to the bone. See America's Great Depression for historical details.
Someone, somewhere, seems to believe that problems of excessive debt can be solved by more debt. Wolfgang Münchau noticed that and elaborates on the risks in Financial Times:
Fiscal treaty could trigger a debt explosionI recently had a conversation in which everybody seemed to agree that the new European fiscal pactwas quite mad. The conversation was overheard by a former policymaker, who turned to us and said that he agreed in principle – but he then added that if the treaty encouraged the European Central Bank to become more flexible, it might still be worthwhile.Later I spoke to a central banker, who also agreed that the treaty was irrelevant, but he was nevertheless in favour of it because it served as a signal to the financial markets. When I spoke to my contacts in the financial markets, I was told that the treaty was quite mad.
It is, unfortunately, difficult to obtain a precise overview of the technical details of the Treaty, as journalists scramble to decipher the details. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the unelected civil servants of the European Union and the European Central Bank will have a much larger say over national finances in the future.
The perplexing problem of referendums
Here in Denmark, any surrender of sovereignty to a foreign institution has to be approved by referendum according to Article 20 of our Constitution. While one should think that giving EU and/or ECB a say over our national budgets would obviously constitute a 'surrender of sovereignty', that is left to the legal experts of the government to decide upon.
And given that they decided that the Constitutional Treaty – later the Lisbon Treaty – constituted no problem towards our Constitution, it can safely be predicted that neither does the Fiscal Treaty, when the experts on law pass their evaluation. Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt has already strongly hinted at the decision she expects her experts to come to, and it would be rather surprising if the experts reach a significantly different conclusion. Thus, no referendum expected.
It's all about 'confidence'
One of the chief architects of the fiscal treaty is German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She makes no secret of the fact that confidence-building is the goal:
I think we will still have to fight for a while with the fact that investors haven't regained full confidence in the euro.
This is logical, for without investor confidence there can be no more cheap loans, and European government would need to end deficit spending – now. That, in turn, would lead to the end of the welfare state as we know it, and probably the ousting of several politicians. Further, a steep fall in government spending would probably lead to deflation (diminishing money supply) falling wages and prices.
Deflation is supposed to be a significant financial disaster, to be avoided at all costs. One of the core missions of central banks is to avoid deflation, and keep prices rising. That discourages saving and encourages spending, stimulates economic activity and increases the Gross Domestic Product, albeit in depreciated currency. Without central banks we would need to rely on honest money, redeemable into gold or another commodity.
Abandoning 'managed money' in favour honest money would also lead to politicians, central bankers and the financial sector losing most of their power to manage society. That is entirely out of the question, given the intricate power structures of our governments, the European Union, ECB, the International Monetary Fund etcetera. No alternative system exists, and thus our current leaders need to fix our current system with the current tools.
Yet, what do Merkel, Sarkozy, Olli Rehn and Herman van Rompuy really have to make investors build their confidence on? Treaties are nice, but you really cannot sell them in the marketplace, competing with cars, grain, beer or electronics for consumer desire and real world profits. And at the end of the day, real world profits is a hard requirement to pay back the mountain of debt burdening European countries. 'Confidence' alone doesn't cut it.
The need for production
For while our politicians are busy "fighting the fact that confidence isn't entirely regained", one has to ask: "Confidence in what?". It cannot be confidence in yet more treaties and yet more regulation, for neither of those can be sold on the market for a profit. The answer is simple, really:
Confidence that sovereign debt will be honestly repaid in full, eventually.
All the intermediate steps don't matter much. What matters is that the debt will be repaid, eventually. Honestly, not in depreciated currency, as Paul Krugman proposes, and not through disguised defaults like the one being negotiated for Greece (hey – didn't we save these guys two years ago, once and for all?). Honest repayment of all debt, or nobody will touch sovereign debt ever again.
The way to repay debt is to manufacture products that have value in the marketplace. It doesn't matter if it's soap, cars, iPhones, watches or fine foods. What matters is that real value is created, that income exceeds spending. Switching from deficit to surplus budgets would restore confidence overnight, without hard-to-understand fiscal treaties or other manipulations.
Confidence grows naturally when deserved
Unfortunately, our current leaders in the European Union, IMF, ECB etcetera still seem hell-bent on squandering what little confidence they have left, due to an utter lack of understanding the basics of what they are dealing with. As usual, the common citizen is left with the bill – a bill that so far just keeps growing.

Solar Panels on Every RoofNovember 6, 2007
I am not for government regulation beyond the authority granted by the Constitution, however, if the government can mandate things like catalytic converters for automobiles and the like, couldn't they also mandate that all homes have solar panels on their rooftops? I'm sure there would be millions of square acres of panels generating trillions of kilowatts of energy, wouldn't there?
So, why not?

The weather is perfect for a quick camping trip.
food, fun and travel
The weather is perfect for a quick camping trip.
I slow roasted pork ribs in leftover spaghetti sauce for about an hour at very low heat. The ribs rested while I roasted red peppers, zucchinis and green onions then I cranked the oven heat full blast, basted the ribs with plum jam and let them sizzle until caramelized.
They look all cute and calm for a few minutes but as soon as the lights go out it's all jumps, scratches and toe nibbles. Matt and I have to hide under the covers.
I've been so incredibly busy since the day we bought the condo that I haven't had time to write a good post.
In summary, life is 100% great.
Ok, sleepy time with the kitties, I promise to write something great soon.
Rosemary, salt, pepper rub.
Chicken stuffed with onions and lovage (parsley works too).
Secret ingredient: a blob of goose fat stuffed between the skin and the breasts!
Matt stopped eating dairy so it's ALL MINE!!!!
Waiting for it to warm up.
Asian style noodles with peas, spicy stir fried zucchini and grilled horse.
Square sushi.
Roasted zucchini with sundried tomato, red onion, capers, jalapeno, lemon and feta.
Homemade granola.
Recently I've been learning how to design websites, teaching kittens how to climb stairs, cleaning, making scarves out of T-shirts, gardening, exploring new cities, experimenting in hairdressing, playing wife, etc.
In my spare time I dabble in cooking.
We only had 4 nori sheets and lots of "filling" ingredients so I layered rice, avocado, lox, rice and caviar in a small circle mold and created a contemporary looking sushi.
I got this idea from Pinterest, it's super easy and no sewing involved. Next time I will thread a few beads here and there.
I love them!
Horse meat has been causing a stir in news lately, unknowing people eating horse meat mixed in their restaurant "beef" burgers. No wonder they were able to get away with it for so long, horse meat looks, cooks and tastes the same as beef.
I marinated the tenderloin overnight in:
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves of garlic
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (optional)
Sear the tenderloin on all sides then place in a 375 degree oven for about 8 minutes depending how large the cut is, let rest before 5 minutes before serving. Horse meat is usually served medium rare.
Roasting vegetables is extremely easy to do and tastes so darn great. Drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika on the potatoes.
1/3 cup olive oil
a handful of fresh parsley, chopped
a handful of fresh basil, chopped
a handful of fresh mint, chopped
a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 small hot pepper, chopped
juice of 1/2 lime
salt and pepper
Crush everything together in a mortar and pestle or a food processor, keeping it fairly chunky.

Today I took the day off from the "should do's" and did something I wanted to do.
I spent quite a bit of time on the couch watching The West Wing and indulging in some handsewing.
Isn't handsewing the best?
I mean, really. Just the best.
My Extraordinarily Talented Mother makes quilts, and when I graduated uni in 2004 we decided to make a quilt together.
We had a lot of fun picking out the fabrics. And a few arguments, cos someone kept changing her mind on the colour scheme she wanted.
It was supposed to be something we would make together, but it's not easy to machine quilt something together when you live far apart. So while this was a "joint effort", the reality is that 99.9% of the work (and talent) is Groovie Mommies.
Take a look at Groovie Mommie's handstitching.
Not a stitch out of place (and plenty of planets in Virgo).
I had a tidy up yesterday and found the quilt folded in a bag and realised it was time to get the embroidery floss out, and finish the quilt.
And late last night, that's exactly what I did. And then I curled up underneath.
About 30 seconds after I'd snuggled up, guess what happened?
His Fluffly Highness is being told Groovie Mommie has threatened to make a floor rug out of him if he gets on the quilt.
Look how good it looks on my bed.
I love that this looks so good on my bed. I love that I can now go and make pillows from the fabric remnants. I love that it makes my bed look like the snuggliest place in the world (it is!) But most of all I love that Mum and I made this together. I love that I have the memory of her getting cranky with me cos I changed my mind about a 1930s colour scheme when I found that purple and green backing. I love that I spent a couple of days at her place arranging the borders. Who knew borders were such a big job? I love that we chose the embroidery floss together, I love that we hand tacked the fabrics to the quilt wadding, then had to unpick it and redo it. Although I didn't love it so much at the time. I love that we spent hours cacking ourselves making this. I'm really lucky – my Mum and I are friends, genuine friends and I just love spending time with her. So what I love most of all about this quilt are all the memories stiched into it's warp and weft.
Sorry Mum.

SwiftIRC's staff is divided into several categories. Each category has a different set of privileges and responsibilities.
Network administrators
Network Administrators form the core of the administration at SwiftIRC. The Network Administrators (NAs) adhere strictly to a democratic system, which relies on majority votes to make all major changes to SwiftIRC. The NAs also ensure that the network runs smoothly.
The current Network Administrators are:
* Carl * Dragon * Sephiroth * Strider3282 * zomg
Generally, the NAs maintain a 'hands-off' policy regarding users and channels. It is not an NA's job to mediate channel issues, but rather moderate the network as a whole.
If you wish to contact the Network Administrators, send an e-mail to .
Server Administrators
Server Administrators primarily focus on the maintenance of their servers, along with the IRC Operator responsibilities that their position entails.
The current Server Administrators are:
* Steve * Marius
Global IRC Operators
Global IRC Operators have moderation access on all servers connected to the network, and are are the second level of support for SwiftIRC's users. If a user has an issue that cannot be resolved by a member of the Support Staff, then an IRC Operator may intervene. IRC Operators also actively ensure that users and channels abide by the network guidelines. IRC Operators are generally nominated and voted on by the Network Administrators, Server Administrators and Global IRC Operators. Global IRC Operators have the same privileges as Server Administrators, and are therefore considered equal in the staff hierarchy.
The current IRC operators are:
* Concept * Jake * Mark * Ryan * Taylor * Zanith
Local IRC Operators
When a new server is linked, the server administrator starts out as a Local IRC Operator. Local IRC Operators have restricted access to their server only.

You will need: 2 pony-rings or elastic, 2 buttons, ribbon or other embellishments, fabric, flannel, silver heat-safe fabric, terry or other backing, needle and thread, sewing machine, scissors. (I think that's all!) *I'm sure there might be better insulating layers to use. This is just what I had on hand, and I'm all about being thrifty!
Begin by measuring your French press. Mine is a standard 8-cup Bodum brand press. I cut my fabric to 6 in. x 14.5 in. I might extend the length a bit in the future...maybe to 15 in. Cut pieces from the cover fabric, flannel, heat-proof and terry.
Next, layer the front fabric (right-side up) on top of flannel and heat-proof fabric.
Now pin your ribbon to all three layers. Make sure to leave allowances for seams. (I use 1/4 in. seams)
I like the looks of 2 strips of ribbon. You could leave the ribbon off altogether, or use rick-rack, ruffles, or anything you'd like!
Now you will sew down the edges of your ribbon on both sides of the ribbon. This will also secure the first 3 layers of the cozy together.
Now attach the elastic bands. Keep in mind, the loop facing to the right in this picture is the part you will see. Be sure your loops are positioned so that they will button through the handle of your press. (See picture of the 'dressed-up' press!) I sew over the elastic several times by back-stitching. You want the elastic to be good and secure.
Now, snip the outer loops a bit and trim the string. Don't cut too closely, just enough to get rid of most of the excess.
Now it looks like this:
Now, pin the terry to the other layers, right-sides together.
It's good to see those little 'tails' from your elastic. You will want to back-stitch over those several times again, and this will help you know how to 'find' them when you are sewing. Sew 1/4 in. around, leaving an opening for turning.
Turn your cozy back to right-side-out. Be sure to carefully poke out the corners. You could pin the opening together, but I usually just iron it.
Now, carefully sew around the edges, being sure to sew the opening closed.
This is what the back of the almost-finished cozy will look like:
And, the front:
All we have to do is sew on the buttons, and it's ready to use! Mark where the buttons need to be attached.
Using your handy-dandy needle and thread, attach the buttons.
Just waiting for some coffee to warm:
Ahhh...nice and cozy! This one is a gift for my sweet cousin.
One for my mom!
And, I get to keep this lovely. :)
This is my very first tutorial, so please let me know if you have questions or thoughts on how it could be better! Happy sewing!

Things bump and bounce around in my brain quite often, and this is one of those things: "Not your grandma's Jesus." So I figured I'd try to get it out through a comic strip.
Maybe it's a sign that I want to know Jesus more personally? That sounds good. Maybe it's a sign that I need to root out any outdated imaginary ideas about Jesus that I've been holding? That could be good too.
So what do you think? What does "not your grandma's Jesus" mean to you? A lot is going to depend on what your grandma's relationship with Jesus was like and maybe even what your relationship with your grandma was like. (Hmm…Maybe grandma's not the best source of knowing Jesus, just a really good home cooked meal!)
Recently I've done some reading about Post-Modernism and how it has effected the way we think about things. (This came up in a post last week too.) With Post-Modernism, everything is personal and individual. In other words, you get to define what is true and right in your life. I get to say what is true and right in my life. What is true and right for you, may not be so for me. I get to decide that.
To take this one step further, each of us gets to define who Jesus is. You get to say who He is and who He isn't in your life.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Matthew 16:15-16 (KJV)
Is that right? Was Jesus a Post-Modernist thinker way back then when He asked "Who do you say that I am?" Well, maybe "Yes" and "No." So "Yes," Jesus actually invites us to say who He is, but "No," that doesn't mean He's going to change to match what we imagine.
But what if I had never experienced a relationship with Jesus for myself? What if I only had what other people told me about Jesus to go by? What if the only knowledge I ever had about Jesus came from someone else in a second-hand way? What about that whole "Not your grandma's Jesus" deal?
One of the things that I like about John's Gospel is how "come and see" is used right in the very first chapter. It's like an open invitation! "Come and see" is what Jesus said when people wanted to know where He was dwelling. (John 1:39) "Come and see" is what a follower said when someone else doubted that Jesus was someone special. (John 1:46)
In later chapters, it's used to bring others to Jesus and also to bring Jesus to others. "Come, see" is what an outsider Samaritan woman said to her neighbors after she had spent time with Jesus. (John 4:29) "Come and see" is what the people said to Jesus when He asked where His dead friend Lazarus was laid. (John 11:34)
Isn't it interesting that two very simple easy-to-read words "come" and "see" both begins and sustains the Christian life journey? Would it be stretching this too far to say that for all eternity we will still be saying to each other "Come and see" something about Jesus that's more wonderful and more filled with glory than what we had seen before?
There is one more thought I'd like to share about the question Jesus asked to Simon Peter, and to each of us really, "Who do you say that I am?" To me, that is so different from what we hear in some other religious texts and faith traditions. For some, I get the feeling it's more like, "I'm going to tell you what's what and who's who." That's never my intention here. If Jesus is the Christ and the Son of the living God, then anyone who does "come and see" can find out for themselves.
As an extension of this, tomorrow's comic strip, I believe, will be a look at "Not your grandma's Jesus" through the eyes of some of the characters here at Nickel Boy Graphics.

Soligenix, Inc., has described the systematic identification of neutralizing and non-neutralizing B-cell epitopes on ricin toxin's enzymatic A subunit in a new article published in the online journal Vaccine.
The major findings in the study include the identification of six immunodominant linear B cell epitopes on ricin's enzymatic A subunit, or RTA, and the production of monoclonal antibodies against five of the six immunodominant regions. The study also identified several neutralizing "hot spots" on RTA in specific folding domains and demonstrated that non-neutralizing monoclonal antibodies are directed at a specific folding domain.
"We are providing further detail of the immunological structure of RTA in order to define additional correlates of protective immunity," Robert N. Brey, chief scientific officer of Soligenix and a co-author of the study, said. "Such correlates are important in understanding immune responses from human studies and how they relate to protective immunity in animals when vaccines cannot be directly tested for efficacy."
The study also found a convergence of immunodominant epitopes recognized by several animal species. This recognition was found to be similar between mice and rabbits, which suggests that different species, including humans, may develop a similar immune response to RTA.
The RTA "hot spots," the study says, are responsible for eliciting neutralizing antibodies associated with protective immunity to ricin toxin. There are different, distinct regions of RTA responsible for eliciting protective immunity, the study found.
"Efforts to develop an effective vaccine against ricin toxin are focused on the engineering of attenuated and stable recombinant forms of the toxin's RTA," Dr. Nicholas Mantis, a research scientist at the Division of Infectious Disease, Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health, and senior author of the study, said. "These data offer insights into the immunodominant and structural determinants on RTA that give rise to protective immunity, and for the first time provide an immunological rationale for ricin vaccine design."

Canus Nature Pure Vegetable Bar Soap Lavender Oil contains fresh goat's milk, a natural and highly effective moisturizer. Lavender oil is well recognized for its therapeutic properties, with a light floral scent that helps to relax both mind and body. Lavender oil also provides natural antibacterial benefits and is known to be helpful in treating acne, psoriasis, eczema and other skin inflammations.
When you use Nature's pure vegetable soaps made with fresh goat's milk, your skin not only feels clean but smooth and rejuvenated.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes fresh goat's milk an exceptional moisturizer?
The protein strands in fresh goat's milk are shorter and therefore more easily absorbed by the skin. Fresh goat's milk also contains capric and caprylic acids that help balance the alkalinity of human skin. Goat's milk is rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Where do Canus get their goat milk from?
Canus work with a cooperative of family farms throughout Canada in order to source their fresh goat's milk. The farm families are committed to raising their goats using the most humane methods possible - paying particular care to the diet and nutritional needs of their goats.
Are Canus products dermatology tested?
Yes, Canus products are dermatologist tested and recommended for dry-skin irritations such as Eczema, Psoriasis and Acne.
Are Canus products all natural?
Yes, all Canus products are all-natural. They also source organic ingredients from sustainable sources whenever possible.
Do Canus products contain parabens?
No, Canus products do not contain parabens. (Parabens are chemical preservatives that lengthen shelf-life. There is evidence that they may interfere with natural hormone function.)
Do your products and bottles have phthalates in them?
No - not in the product nor in the packaging. Recent studies in laboratory rodents indicate phthalates may cause changes in hormone levels, birth defects and compromise organ function.
Why is fresh goat's milk better than powdered?
Fresh goat's milk retains its skin-nourishing nutrients and vitamins. Products based on powdered or dehydrated milk are heated so high that during the dehydration process the structure of the reconstituted milk is changed, decreasing its effectiveness. That's why Canus only use fresh milk in all of their products.
What kinds of goats supply milk for Canus products?
There are six different breeds of dairy goats: Nubian, Alpine, LaMancha, Oberhasli, Saanen and Toggenburg
Sodium Palmate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Aqua / Eau /Water /Agua, Caprae Lac / Lait de Chèvre/Goat Milk / Leche de Cabra, Glycerin, Palm Kernel Acid, Parfum/ Fragrance, Lavandula Hybrida Oil, Sodium Chloride, Potassium Sorbate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tetrasodium Etidronate, Titanium Dioxide, Linalool.

well, i went in for surgery today on my feet {something minor} but came out without that procedure and a more prospectively scary one done.
my arms, neck and chest are covered in freckles. i've always had "beauty marks" on my neck. as i've gotten older, i've noticed more and more freckles appear. which i don't mind :)
anyways, the doctor took a look at a few i had questions about and sure enough one needed to be sent for a biopsy.
the pinch was nothing but the pain after was not so fun.
so now we wait for two weeks to get the results and we will go from there! i have positive thoughts about this. we caught it early even if it is something.
if anything from this post, don't worry or hesitate about asking questions!

Cash-strapped B.C. Startups Begin Tapping Equity Crowdfunding
Peter-Paul Van Hoeken uses words like "diverse" and "colourful" when describing Canada's system of securities regulations. Instead of one agency overseeing the rules managing the buying and selling of shares, the country has a patchwork of regulators operating in different provinces. So when the Dutch expatriate began working on a platform that would allow startups to raise money through crowdfunding, he spent two years figuring out how to fall in line with all of Canada's different rules. "Everybody at that time was in the dark about the whole crowdfunding thing, including the regulators," said Van Hoeken, the founder and CEO of fundraising portal FrontFundr. But in mid-September the Vancouver-based company facilitated B.C.'s first round of equity fundraising for a startup after regulators introduced new rules earlier this year.

By 2016 the crowdfunding industry is on track to account for more funding than venture capital, according to a recent report by Massolution. Just five years ago there was a relatively small market of early adopters crowdfunding online to the tune of a reported $880 million in 2010. Fast forward to today and we saw $16 billion crowdfunded in 2014, with 2015 estimated to grow to over $34 billion.

13 Oct How to Deal with Your Daddy Issues During Drug/Alcohol Rehab
When you enter into a 30 day inpatient drug/alcohol treatment facility, you may find your daddy issues arising out of your spirit during counseling. You may feel like the pain inside of your heart relates to an absentee father in your life. Many men and women today grew up without a father. Some had a father in the home, but felt mistreated and neglected as well. Many people in rehab refer to this as having "daddy issues". There is nothing wrong about having daddy issues. A parent is supposed to make you feel loved, protected and cared for growing up. If you missed out on this, you may indeed be suffering. Believe it or not, it can be the root cause of why you are taking drugs or drinking alcohol to begin with.
Often, human beings fail to forget about a parent that abandoned them or hurt them in some way. As children, we are taught to obey our parents and not talk back to them. Often, children do not know how to express their emotions. If they feel like their father was not there for them, they usually fail to tell their father how they feel. If someone feels like they are not cared for by a parent, they often turn to drugs and alcohol to absorb this pain.
When you are in a 30 day inpatient program, you are assigned a therapist. Your therapist will often make you talk about what is troubling you. At first, you may feel ashamed and embarrassed to talk about your emotions. Perhaps you think that you should not even have these "daddy issues" anymore because you are now in your 20's, 30's and even 40's. However, your feelings are unique and you have the right to feel what comes out of your heart naturally.
In some cases, clients tell their therapists that they were abused by their father in some way, shape or form. Often, bringing this shame to the surface allows the hurt to come out. Once you realize that it was not your fault, you begin to realize that you are worthy to be loved.
It takes time to dig into the roots of your relationship with your father. You need to express your thoughts, feelings and emotions with your therapist. Let your therapist know what is really troubling you. Often, people feel embarrassed to talk about their real feelings in therapy. However, once you express your emotions, you begin to understand that it is okay to express yourself.
After rehab, you may find that confronting your father about how you really feel will help you to heal as well. It is usually uncomfortable for a parent to hear about your painful memories. Some parents will not even acknowledge what you are saying is true. If you can find any healing by talking to your father, it is a good thing. You may not get the response that you are looking for, but you can find some healing there.

Last fall when I interviewed women across the nation, they surprised me. I presupposed that when asked what one thing they would change immediately in the U.S., ending poverty or war would be the most prevalent answer. Instead, women in thirty-five states and the District of Columbia together said: increase tolerance. Tolerance is defined as "sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own." Women urged, can't we just talk? Why all this vitriol and divisiveness? What happened to sitting around the local diner and having rousing debates about issues, remaining friends at the end of the night? According to these wise women, one driver behind this crippling national intolerance is the array of informational or 'news' sources. With so many choices today, have we fallen into a rut that fuels intolerance? What happens when we get our information by listening, watching or reading only certain sources? Tolerance Challenge The 8 Weeks to Optimum Tolerance (aka the 'New' News Challenge) launched. I vowed to access a 'new' news source every week, grounding the challenge upon Aristotle's teaching: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be … [Read more...]
Tolerance Reflections: Five Signs of Strength
Halfway Through the 'New News' Challenge, Tolerance Grows & Patience Wans
On February 4th I issued the 8 Weeks to Optimum Tolerance 'New News' challenge. Half way through, I confess that it is harder than I expected, listening to more diverse perspectives than I usually do. Thus far, I've watched Bill O'Reilly lament the "Epidemic of Disrespect" in America while calling people I care deeply about, our nation's public school teachers, "Pinheads." I tried to find something to love about O'Reilly. I paid close attention to the Republican's response to the State of the Union address, ripping off my blinders instead of shutting down (with envy) when I heard Marco Rubio had paid off his $100,000 in student loans debts in the short time he'd been in Congress. Instead of trying to get my head around why 22 male Senators voted against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, I reminded myself that these leaders (one of whom I worked for in the past), had been charged with carrying their party's message. They may indeed be decent human beings. And, I celebrated when the House passed the Senate's version of VAWA that expanded services to immigrant, Native, and LGBTQ women, also requiring that universities report on campus rapes. I even … [Read more...]
Four Intolerance Taming Practices: 8 Weeks to Optimum Tolerance New-News Challenge
My Grandpa used to tell me, "Point the finger at someone else and you have three pointed right back at you." The response to each New Year's State of the Union (SOTU) address typically serves as an exercise in finger pointing. This year, we were treated to the 'official' Republican response, by party "Savior" Senator Marco Rubio, and the additional rebuttal by Tea Party Republican Senator Rand Paul. En masse, Main Street Women's pre-election Manifesto for Tolerance was a call to end the vitriolic state of the union. So far, their magic wands have produced little impact – the SOTU exemplified that. After listening to everyday women across the U.S., I realized I'd gone darned far down the intolerance path myself. (You know. I confessed to having flashes of ramming my car into others because of the viewpoints their bumper stickers express, e.g. "Women for Aiken.") My own intolerance growth stems in part from how, like most of Americans, my narrow, personalized news sources present one perspective – the one most like mine. The 'new-news' challenge is beginning to tame my internal intolerance monster. Vowing for eight weeks to watch, listen to or read one news source each … [Read more...]
Hippos & Pinheads: 8 Weeks to Optimum Tolerance Challenge
Last week, I issued an eight week tolerance challenge, the 'new' news challenge. Like most Americans, I've created some deep grooves in my life road by watching, reading and listening to certain news sources without variation. In essence, my news-accessing practices mirror what concerns the wise women of Main Street most about our nation and its leaders: intolerance is holding us back. One respected poll illustrates the divide. "Television news has become just as polarizing as the politicians themselves. Democrats trust everything except Fox News, while Republicans trust nothing except Fox News," the President of Public Policy Polling shared following last year's survey on Americans trust in news sources. (http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2012/01/3rd-annual-tv-news-trust-poll.html) Vowing to increase my tolerance by getting my news from a source I don't usually access, I watched Fox's The O'Reilly Factor. Challenge Week One: The O'Reilly Factor Many Americans consider Bill O'Reilly a trusted source of information. O'Reilly's show, from my limited viewing experience, is a hybrid talk/issues show, the kind of pseudo-news rift in America. (The PBS Newshour, … [Read more...]

Despite the hammering it gets going through FCP7 and Vimeo the depth of the detail in RAW vs h.264 is astounding. I thought I had "alien eyes" when I shot the eucalyptus trees. I didn't realize how much h.264 throws away – in detail, color depth and resolution.

A $15 Minimum Wage Would Lead 30% of Businesses to Eliminate Positions
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 29, 2016) - Express Employment Professionals released new results today from a survey of businesses revealing some of the effects an increase in the minimum wage would have on their company.
Respondents were asked, "What actions would you take if the minimum wage increased to $15 an hour?"
More than a third (37 per cent) said they would increase the price of goods or services, and 30 per cent said they would eliminate positions. On the other hand, 20 per cent reported that they would increase other wages in their companies.
Of those surveyed, 18 per cent pay the current minimum wage for some positions, while 82 per cent do not.
"A $15 minimum wage has certainly become a political hot topic. There's no doubt it makes for a good talking point, but the real question is whether it makes good economic sense," said Bob Funk, CEO of Express. "While some workers will see a raise, which is good news, this survey shows that there are clear negative consequences for raising the wage to $15.
"Policymakers should always keep in mind the unintended consequences of their actions. Our goal should always be getting people back to work-and creating a healthy, thriving economy that creates rising wages across the board."
To view the graphic associated with this release, please visit the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/629exp_chart.jpg
The survey of 390 businesses in the United States and Canada that are current and former clients of Express Employment Professionals was conducted in the first quarter of 2016.
If you would like to arrange for an interview with Bob Funk to discuss this topic, please contact Kellie Major at (613) 222-7488.

Inspired by this post, I decided to give it a try. Even though I have a pasta machine (which I got for $8 at a thrift store!), I found it very tricky to roll, fill and fold the little raviolis. I blame the dough, at first it was too dry and then too wet :-( Anyway, I made the raviolis , but not the sauce. They're in the freezer, along with 1/4 of the roasted butternut squash, I think it still be good, right?
I started my FIL socks last night. This are my 3rd pair, toe-up, on 2 circs. They're a little thick, but that's OK, they're winter socks. I'm using Moda Dea washable wool on US5 needles.
I really want to knit my family Christmas gifts, I know, I've been down that road before, but this time I really have an excuse, having a baby is expensive! and I was sorting my stash and realized that I have way too much yarn. I'll check Ravelry to see if I can find something quick & easy that looks like it took a lot of time to make ;-)

Thanks to Hakuba Alpine Guides for this info.
For those traveling to Hakuba there is now a detailed and valuable Avalanche Bulletin.The summary information can be found here. The detailed report can be found by clicking on the summary heading and text, or the link that says "more here" (in Japanese). We believe that the bulletin will be available a minimum of three days a week – the weekends, midweek, and also public holidays. Starting soon, the bulletins will also be available in English. Anyone heading into the side country or backcountry should check this report. With future support, hopefully the bulletin will be available on every day of the week. The report currently shows considerable risk of avalanche above the tree line so be careful up there!
Now to the snow. Reasonably warm in Hakuba with not much new snow to talk of since this morning. Hopefully more on the way Wednesday.
Hakuba 47 196cm
Cortina 240cm
Happo-one 150cm
Tsugaike 200cm
Goryu 215cm
Iwatake 120cm

Catch up on the news from April
(Sunday 10 May 2009) by Brennan-adventures
Well over a month since we last touched base, and for us it has gone so quickly… Have you missed us??
Well our journey home to England nearly didn't happen!! The afternoon before we were due to leave I found the radiator fluid in the header tank of the car would not hold its high level…. Problem.... this was 4pm and we were due to leave to drive to Sao Paulo at 8am the next morning.
Off to Spartacus ( yes that is really his name and he sold us the car) to see what could be done… He was wonderful and managed to convince a mechanic to work on it until it was fixed, so at 11pm we were delivered a car that was fixed…. Brilliant…… so England here we go.
Our flight was with Iberia….Rubbish. The seats were so hard and the films were black and white, I suspect cost cutting!!
We had a stop in Madrid, if I do not see that airport again for 10 years it would be too soon, I have been there too often lately due to the flight decisions made by my dear husband.
The toilets there are very stressful, all very sleek and modern BUT with etched glass doors, the people outside waiting in line know exactly what you are doing…. I am very private when it comes to my loo situation so here it is a nightmare for me. After our 9 hour flight to Madrid the next Iberia flight to London we had to pay for the privilege to eat… I get so mad at this, they do not lower the prices enough to compensate for a sandwich which costs £9.00!! Still we got back to U.K. on time and as well as could be expected for the hours travelled .It was the first time Mike knew what it feels like to be me…. He didn't get a sleep on either plane so was as spaced out as I was; I think I will get a little more sympathy now!!
We got back to the U.K. at the beginning of April. Mike straight to work; me I spent days trying to find some new clothes. The clothes in Brasil do not fit me and if I am honest is not really my style… to tight and clingy.
I was also trying to get my head around a Party in Scotland for my Mum, she was going to be 80. We had invited the family and friends to celebrate…. I had made the decision to have it at Mum and Dad's house; I think possibly they dreaded it!! Still my sister and her children did a great job cleaning and clearing the rooms before I got there.
In fact when I got there 4 days before the party there was so little to do I managed night out with two school friends and a couple of trips to the garden centre for coffee.
The day of the party things went well, the weather although overcast and breezy stayed dry. The family (on both sides) had got together 5 years previously, so conversation flowed well.
I had a ball, not sure about the birthday girl….. I think by the time it ended she had enjoyed herself. The next 3 days saw me getting the house and contents back to normal.
I was then on way back down to Southampton. I had 1 week left before we flew out again to Brasil. That week was a frenzy of shopping, cleaning…. Well you have to have a clean and tidy house for the burglars !!!
It was such a strange situation to get your head around, in my pea brain I had been and returned to Brazil, so to be packing up again was odd.
This time we were flying with British airways… narrow seats but more padding, movies on selection which was brilliant for me…managed 4 films in the 11 hour straight through flight.
Mike slept nearly the whole way so was bright eyed and bushy tailed for our drive to the beach. We had left the car at a long term car park near Sao Paulo airport for the month, keeping fingers crossed it would start we packed our suitcases in the boot and turned the key…. Eureka we had a go!!
The road to the beach nearest Sao Paulo is hilly and winds down and around mountains; the road travels through some of the worst polluted areas in Brasil, huge petrochemical works and factories belching smoke into the valleys surrounded by hills is not the idea of paradise most people have of Brasil. Still at least the beach is away from this pollution and the tides keep the beach and waters clean.
The beach area is called Guaruja. You would not believe the HUGE houses for the rich people weekend retreats from Sao Paulo. The prices here are expensive as well…. Some really rich folk around Brasil !!
Now the beach in Brasil is a really civilised place, every few metres a beach shack sells drinks, sandwiches and small eats. They also have beach chairs and umbrellas which are set up for you at NO charge.
There are also the usual beach sellers that pass selling dental floss bikinis… toyed with the idea of one but sanity prevailed!! They also sold beach toys, cover ups and sarongs.
There are men who carry around small lit BBQ's on long handles which they cook skewers of cheese on. To do this they hurl the BBQ around their head to add air to the coals and make them glow red ….. blinking dangerous if you ask me!!
They also have peanut sellers, ice crem sellers and Tapioca sellers who make the tapioca into flat wibbly pancakes covered with coconut and condensed milk. Quite a feast and not leaving your beach seat!!
The temp was great for us whitey Brits, around 23c daytime and 19c at night. Our 4 days passed far too quickly, and we were now little pink Brits!!
Mike had a meeting in another city for 2 days before we headed for home in Ilha.
The morning of Thursday we left the beach..BOO HOO, heading for Sao Jose Dos Campos.
Well the roads in Brasil are not so great with signs, infact they are like the USA put just at the turning rather than giving a good warning the turn is approaching.
We missed the road and ended up on the coast road, the views were stunning if you had time to look. I was the driver so my eyes were on the road and working out how I was going to pass the slow moving truck without us getting killed!!
The road has double yellow lines along the centre… no passing BUT try climbing a huge hill behind a truck travelling 15 mph!! The road was like the Almalfi coast in Italy but the winding hilly hairpin bends lasted 3 hours… It was one of the worst drives of my life!! Mike was getting more and more tense as he was supposed to be giving 2 talks starting at 1-30pm, by this time it was 2pm and we were just getting to the outskirts of the city.
This Sao Jose dos Campos is a small city of around 800,000 people…. and joy the roads were mostly one way…. A flipping nightmare if you need to get to a particular spot. Our hotel was just the wrong side of a roundabout… 40 mins later we found our way there; by this time Mike was so tense he was shouting at me…. I was not taking the roads he wanted me to… well you try crossing 4 lanes of fast moving traffic with 50yrds to the road… impossible. If I'd had an ejector seat button believe me it would have been used!!
I was not talking to him by the time we reached the hotel. Once he got on his was to the company I chilled in the room…
Later all was well you will be glad to hear.
Sat morning up bright and early, driving this time to Ilha Solteira. Sunday is mother's day in Brasil… huge fuss made about it. In supermarkets all the ladies get a real red rose when shopping… how much this must cost the supermarkets I hate to think…
Mike is concerned as last time we lived here he bought me nothing… well it's mothers day and I am not his mother…. He got into sooo much trouble from our friends here, so today he is wanting to visit the market set up especially for mothers day to buy something… God knows what I will end up with !!
Well folks now arrived In Ilha and here for a few a week, trying to settle back into life here for a while. It is winter now here and the temperature is around 26c so much more comfortable now, less sweaty Betty!!!
Well I think that's all the news and that we have caught up again.
Keep safe

Autonomous Research, Communication, & Action
Students love Fishbowls and they have so much fun they don't ever realize how much they are learning. Teachers love fishbowls because students are forced to learn and think before they speak. Fishbowls are also a great way for students to develop research, communications skills, and autonomy. In a fishbowl, students research, disseminate knowledge, discuss, and write editorials expressing their point of view. Despite all the hard work fishbowls require, at the end of the year my students' only complaint is that they didn't get enough of them. Scroll down to read all about how the fishbowl works, and to find our regular fishbowl topic updates.
Here's How It Works
Day One - in class - 30-60 minutes
Pick the topic
You can pick your own topic: capital punishment, immigration, same-sex marriage, legalization of marijuana, stem cell research or some other topic that is currently being debated by our fellow citizens that your students and you will find interesting, engaging, and important.
You guide students, letting them choose between good topics. To let the students have a controlled choice, I like to put a list of four good topics on board. Then as a class, we discuss the pros and cons of each topic and I guide them towards the topic I want. Then we vote as a class (I get 4 votes). Majority rules.
Critical Issues
We have addressed the following critical issues this year. After you have learned about each topic, lead your students in a fishbowl discussion.
Confederate Monuments
Presidential Pardon of Joe Arpaio
DACA and Dreamers
Foreign Aid
Freedom from/of Religion
Follow the links below to a few fishbowl topics that have worked particularly well in past years.
Death Penalty
Freedom of Speech
Equality of Opportunity
US Foreign Policy
Or you can let the students pick their own topic. This maximizes student autonomy, but also the risk of a topic that's a dud. If you do let the students pick, you should still have a hand in the decision, guiding them towards more fruitful topics - where there will be some disagreement and also some agreement. Let the students individually list three topics they'd like to fishbowl, about then move them into small groups to discuss which of their topics will create more productive learning and discussion. Finally list the small group choices on the board and then discuss the merits of the topics with the whole class and then vote.
Day One - begun in class and then completed for homework
Students work by themselves to research our topic, then make a substantive, illuminating, data-rich, fact-filled post to our class website, (if you don't have a class website where students can edit, you could let them post their research on a classroom bulletin board, or on twitter followed by the hashtag #fishbowl. Posts should be factual, informative, and illuminating, and could come in the form of a chart, graph, map, infographic, cartoon, video, editorial, or report. Students know that they will be evaluated on their post.
*If your class does not have access to the internet, students may cut out graphs, charts, or articles to physically post on a class bulletin board.
You can follow the links below to the research my students have done about the following topics.
Death Penalty
Freedom of Speech
Equality of Opportunity
US Foreign Policy
Day Two – in class - 20 minutes
Students should read through their colleagues' posts. Each student should respond with a thoughtful and respectful question to at least three of your classmates' posts. This can be done online or on a classroom bulletin board, where students write their comments on post-it-notes which they leave below their colleagues' posts on the bulletin board.
Day Three – in class - 60 minutes
Students will come to class with a list of points to make and questions to ask.
During the fishbowl, class will be arranged in two circles; a small circle of four (inside) and a large circle of the rest of the class (outside). Students inside the fishbowl may read from notes, talk, ask, discuss. Students outside the fishbowl may NOT talk at all. Outsiders may, however, tweet any questions or comments followed by the hashtag #fishbowl. These tweets may be projected on classroom overhead screen.
*Classrooms without internet may employ a student runner who picks up questions and comments from students (they raise their hands silently) and writes the comments on the chalk/whiteboard.
The goal of each student is to make a thoughtful comment or raise an insightful question in our classroom fishbowl. Teachers should take notes on our class discussion to evaluate each students' level/quality of participation. The goal of the teacher is to be quiet and to only ask questions if a student makes inappropriate comments or if the class falls into a prolonged silence. Students are forewarned that they will only be allowed to stay in class if they are quiet when appropriate (outside the fishbowl) and vocal when appropriate (inside the fishbowl). If you are ejected from class, you will receive a zero for your participation grade. Everyone must speak at least once in the fishbowl. (Optionally, you may prod silent students into fishbowling by saying you will penalize the entire class five points per mute student. I've threatened that before, but I've never actually had to deduct points.) A student may only return to the middle and speak again after each student has participated in the fishbowl. Students must tag-out a student to switch places with them on the inside of the fishbowl. Students may only tag-out a student who has already spoken.
Here's the observation sheet I give to each student to complete during the fishbowl.
Day Three – homework
Students write a post-debate Editorial about the topic. Their goal is to persuade the reader of their position. They must use at least one source from student research in their editorial.
Here's the grading rubric I give to each student to guide their writing.
Day Four – in class - 30 minutes
First we debrief by going over the fishbowl observation sheet and discussing the best fishbowlers, best comments, who has had their opinion changed by the fishbowl. Then we share student editorials. Before students turn in their editorial, we spend some class time to share our writing. Students may share their editorial aloud in small groups, which then select the top editorial to have shared with the whole class. Discuss. We end class by repeating the day one activity of picking the next topic.
Engagement Extension
Day Five – in class - 60 minutes
Students take action regarding the topic. They can create, join, persuade, write a letter to editor, start a petition on change.org, create a campus teach-in, start a facebook page, write a poem, submit a letter to the editor, make posters to put up around campus, pen a short story, post a video, start a tumblr, make visual art, write a manifesto, chalk the campus, write your congressperson or the president, write an article for your school newspaper, join or start an interest group, spread the word, hold a rally or protest, lobby the legislature. Students should work alone or in small groups, write their goals, conceive an action plan, and then share their proposal with class. Students will be evaluated based on their creativity, persuasion, and efficacy. Students will work together or alone in class to begin their project. They will document and share their project results with class at a later date.
Here's the grading rubric I give to each student to guide their action.

Fishbowl #4 - Equality of Opportunity
Do we have equality of opportunity in the US?
In other words, does everyone have the same opportunity, the same chance to make it, the same starting position regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, or what region you are from in America today?
Think about different how demographics impact various areas of our life such as employment, wealth, education, life expectancy, health care, and housing. Here is a great resource on equality of opportunity in the US.
Here's some resources to help you get started
Once you've done your research, post any charts, questions, answers, facts, links, embedded cartoons, video, pictures, charts, graphs, posts, data, information, ideas on our classroom bulletin board or classroom wiki prior to our fishbowl. The more illuminating, thorough, empathetic, thoughtful, informative your post, the better our fishbowl and the better your grade.
Here's a chart full of the research on inequality that my students posted on our class wiki.

Readers: Regulations Top of Mind, Online Sources Most Valuable
Posted On: November 17th, 2015
Manager of Sales Operations, McKesson
Earlier this fall, we asked subscribers of this blog[i] to complete a survey regarding their professional reading habits and interests. We got a great response, and we're grateful to those who took the time to answer. The information we receive from our readers is invaluable, and we take your ideas and input to heart.
We learned quite a few interesting things from the survey, and we'll outline several of them here. First, a whopping 85% of our subscribers are regular users of Facebook. That's more than those who use LinkedIn (55%) and Twitter (17%) put together!
Indeed, most of the information our readers get about home health and hospice is from online publications (92%), although speaking with others (56%) and reading print publications (50%) are also frequent sources. A large number read online publications, including blogs, daily (35%) or a few days a week (33%).
The No. 1 home health and hospice topic respondents enjoy reading about is changing healthcare regulations (43%). Another 35% said they seek information about home health and hospice software and technology, and 18% said they like to read about the future of home health and hospice.
Given the busy schedules of home health executives, it's no surprise that blog posts and articles are the most appealing form of content (80%), followed by white papers/e-books (47%) and case studies/use cases (45%). Just over 30% said videos appeal to them, and just over 22% said they enjoy research papers.
Again, we're exceptionally glad to hear that the McKesson Homecare Talk blog is a valuable resource for you, especially when it comes to keeping you informed about regulations, technology in general and home health software in particular. Some said you also look to us for tips on managing your agency, improving profitability, and the future of home health and hospice, and we certainly plan to continue providing that information as well.
Subscribe to the McKesson Homecare Talk blog to get the latest blog posts delivered to your inbox once a week!
[i] Online survey conducted with current blog subscribers September 29 – October 7, 2015.
