Some Useful Summer Travel Tips
The summer heat is making its comeback. Summer vacations are now a must. This is the ideal time for you to enjoy the warmth and heat of the sun by going out. You get too excited that you cannot wait any longer to have the adventure of your life. You do not want to be the last to pack all of your bags to take the travel destination of your dreams. Before you get too excited planning on your long-awaited summer escapade, you should be mindful of a few travel tips first before taking any trip.
You will find in the following useful travel tips worthy of attention.
Destination: In choosing a place where you can spend your summer vacation, it is crucial that you consider not only your budget but also the people going with you and the number of days that you will travel.
Accommodation: This is one factor that you must never fail to book beforehand once you have decided on a travel destination. If this is ensured, then not only are you able to save your money but also you get to choose from a wide variety of lodging options to be sure that you will be staying in a place that you really think you deserve.
Money and documentation: Never forget bringing your travel documents such as your passport and visa if you travel abroad and your identification papers. Remember to not leave behind your debit cards, foreign currency, and credit cards as well.
Clothing: In selecting travel clothes, make sure that you consider the weather of the place where you will be staying. Make use of the internet to do some searches as regards what kind of clothes fit well with the kind of weather of your destination.
Mode of travel: Traveling by air is expected if you plan to go aboard or overseas. If you are into embarking on adventures, then it would be a good thing to travel by road. The vehicle that you will use will have to depend on the kind of terrain you are taking. To avoid unwanted situations when traveling by air, it is highly recommended to book your plane tickets ahead of time to get discounts as well.
Insurance: Any insurance company or travel agency is guaranteed to offer you travel insurance for purchase. Ensure that you have adequate insurance coverage in cases where any accidents can happen in your vacation.
Medicines: Never leave behind any medications of yours, especially if they have been prescribed by your doctor. It is also a must that you are able to carry along with you documents that relate to your health and prescriptions. Always have the emergency contact numbers of your health care professionals as well.
Travel accessories: Your summer vacation is going to be very memorable especially if you have captured some special moments while on trip. This is one reason why you should get a good video recorder as well as an excellent camera to capture the best moments.

WTO Information Technology Agreement (ITA), concluded in 1996, is a plurilateral tariff cutting framework which requires complete elimination of tariffs and non-tariff barriers on IT products covered in the agreement. In 2001, Government of Pakistan seriously considered joining this agreement and taxes/tariffs were rationalised on almost all ITA products. However, this decision was kept on hold and then reversed and duties and other taxes were imposed on IT products.
Since 2015, PRIME has been running a campaign to encourage the Government of Pakistan to sign Information Technology Agreement.
On 22nd April 2015, PRIME gave a presentation to Minister for Information Technology on the implications of Pakistan's accession to this Agreement. Following the positive response from the Ministry, we then published a paper titled, "Information Technology Agreement: Why Pakistan should accede" authored by Dr. Manzoor Ahmad and Syed Talha Hasan, and supported by Atlas Network. This paper is available at: http://primeinstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Information-Technology-Agreement-Why-Pakistan-Should-Accede-Position-Paper-Talha-Kazmi-Manzoor-Ahmad.pdf
On October 7, 2015 PRIME Institute organised a public seminar, "Boundaries in a Cyber World: Personal Freedom and State Imperatives" to develop a consensus on Pakistan's accession to ITA with support from Friedrich Naumann Foundation. There were 53 participants in the event including government officials, representatives from private sector, social activists, media persons, representatives from diplomatic community and academia. While speaking at the conference senior officials from Ministry of Information Technology, Ministry of Commerce, Pakistan Software House Association, Pakistan Computer Association and Ministry of Industries and Production endorsed that Pakistan should sign this agreement.
PRIME's efforts received a major boost when Pakistan's Mission to WTO joined this campaign. They not only fully endorsed the proposal but also provided convincing arguments about the role of ITA in promoting e-commerce in the country and closing the digital gap with the rest of the world.
Later on, Ministry of IT officially accepted our recommendation and forwarded a summary to the Ministry of Commerce to accede to ITA. It enclosed the paper prepared by PRIME and also mentioned the work done by PRIME in its letter. The Ministry of Commerce after reviewing it, not only accepted the recommendation but also recommended to include ITA-II, that includes high end medical equipment. Ministry of Commerce then moved a summary to the Economic Coordination Committee for deliberations.
In April 2016, Executive Director of PRIME wrote a letter to the Prime Minister Office requesting to accord the policy deliberation on ITA. This request was positively received, and the Prime Minister established a high powered committee to examine Pakistan's accession to the Information Technology Agreement. Secretaries from Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of IT, Ministry of Industries and Revenue Division including Dr. Manzoor Ahmad, President (Hon.) PRIME Institute are members of this committee.
On 2nd November 2016, the committee held its first meeting in which all the members, except FBR, supported Pakistan's accession to ITA. Dr. Manzoor Ahmad has also presented a paper in that meeting explaining why Pakistan should accede to ITA.
PRIME Institute supports the federal government (Ministry of Information Technology and Ministry of Commerce in particular) in its efforts to harmonise Pakistan with international benchmarks on access to ICT and it is quite encouraging that government is now considering to sign ITA.
We have published and encouraged several op-eds for public education on this topic e.g. http://tribune.com.pk/story/1103861/step-in-right-direction-pakistan-needs-the-it-agreement/. PRIME Institute is quite hopeful that Pakistan will sign this much needed agreement in the greater benefit of its own people and economy. You can also support this endeavour by endorsing, writing and speaking about it. For more details, please write to email@example.com.

Chapter 13 – Chronic Wasting Disease Voluntary Herd Certification Program
13.6 Appendix 2: Sanitary Precautions and Disinfectants – July 2017
This page is part of the Guidance Document Repository (GDR).
Looking for related documents?
Search for related documents in the Guidance Document Repository
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is not considered a human pathogen; however, normal sanitary precautions against a possible range of pathogens should be taken. Wear protective clothing, gloves, and face protection when collecting brain specimens. Always avoid direct contact with brain tissues. Personnel at tissue harvesting sites should take precautions to avoid ingesting the agent.
It is recommended that you place the animal's head on a disposable plastic drop sheet. This sheet should be large enough to cover the work area.
Chemical decontamination of equipment and work surfaces with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) at a concentration of 2% available chlorine, or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at a concentration of 2 Molars, is recommended. Surfaces and equipment should be left wet (or soaking) with NaOCl or NaOH for at least 1 hour at 20°C.
NaOH can be purchased from Fisher Scientific in crystal form. To make a 2 Molar concentration of NaOH, dilute 80 grams NaOH crystals in one litre of water and stir well.
- NaOCl can be prepared from industrial grade or commercially available bleach (such as Javex/Clorox). Dilute the bleach to provide a final concentration of 2% (20,000 ppm) available chlorine. For example, most commercially available bleaches have 6% available chlorine listed on the label. In this case, mix one part bleach and two parts water (ratio 1:2) to attain the 2% concentration of available chlorine.
Bury or incinerate used disposable protective clothing, gloves, and animal remains.
It is recommended that neurosurgical tools be soaked in NaOH for one hour, removed from the solution, and then wiped with the NaOCl solution for 10 seconds. Dry the tools, as the NaOCl is corrosive.
Note: Other traditional disinfectants, such as Virkon, are not effective against prion agents. Instruments must be disinfected with either sodium hypochlorite or sodium hydroxide.

Well, first of all, if you have been following my posts on a regular basis, I have been on a blog sabbatical for 6 or 7 weeks. But now I am back; although for the most part I shall be doing more video blogs in future.
Anyway, on with today's blog.
There are probably millions of people on the planet going to numerous 'How t0' seminars during the course of the year, spending millions of dollars. Why? They are on a quest to become a billionaire, millionaire, bigshot entrepreneur, find a loving relationship or improve their existing one.
Others are looking to self-improve, achieve greater success or boost some other aspect of their life. I am not going to mention any names of the seminars out there as this is not a post dissing the guru's that conduct them.
If you add to this the money spent on coaching, mentoring and online learning the amount spent to get more, be more and do more in life, in business and at work now stretches into hundreds of billions of dollars.
And I am not including the amount spent in self-improvement at bookstores and as you know, these sections are massive and billions are spent in there too.
Important Tip: A strong conscious desire such as, I want to earn a six figure income, does not necessarily mean you will achieve it. Your success will be based on what you believe at an unconscious level
So it stands to reason then, that if it all worked for everybody, there would be millions more people making a success of their life, right? So where are they all?
The fact is, that all these mediums for boosting their life in whatever area they seek is simply not working for millions of people around the world. Maybe that figure includes you?
Why the Seminars, Online learning, Positive Thinking, Mentoring and even Coaching is not Working
So why doesn't any of this work? I mean they obviously have a desire to improve otherwise they wouldn't spend the money they do right?
I know of many people personally who have attended umpteen seminars, sometimes 4 or a 5 a year (And some who have attended a lot more); others who have taken year-long mentoring programs, personal coaching and who possess a personal development library bigger than most major bookstores, and they still do not get what they want!
One reason for this is they don't give any one system enough time and they soon jump on to the next shining, alluring promise of millionaire status by a clever marketer. Promising to do it all faster and easier.
But that is not the main reason millions of folk are failing to get what they want
It's all about Beliefs
Now I know that you can switch off right now and skip the rest of this post now that you have read the big reveal. Why? because your conscious, logical mind is answering. Your conscious self is saying, "I do believe".
I would ask you not to skip this post because that's exactly what the millions of people are thinking who are attending these how to seminars but not getting the outcomes they earnestly seek.
Your mind is full of beliefs. You are just one big mixed bag of them. Your outer life reflects these beliefs.
Important Tip: Some beliefs empower you, some stop you from even getting started and others sabotage any progress you may make
Your current and past successes, the quality of your relationships, the money you earn and the money don't earn; the way your business performs, how you get on in work and even your health, is down to your beliefs.
But it is your unconscious beliefs that are driving your results in life, at work, in business or your relationships or earnings. And it is these unconscious beliefs that determine whether or not you make it.
You see, some of your beliefs are positive and empowering; some of them are destroying you and are downright nasty and negative.
Important Tip: Your unconscious beliefs are the drivers of your behaviour; how you behave (Your actions) determines your results
They simply override all of your conscious desires to get more, be more and do more. And that is why you don't get what you want.
You may know them as Limiting Beliefs. I refer to them as 'Stoppers' or 'Saboteurs' because that is exactly what they are. They either stop you from ever getting started, or you get some success and then sooner rather than later, they sabotage your success and return you back to your former position in life or former state (Depending on what you are trying to achieve)
Do you get that?
So it's not that the guru's on the seminars are misleading you in any way; on the contrary, the majority of them are giving great advice, mentoring or coaching. But unless they address these limiting beliefs properly their message will not get through long term.
How to get Whatever You Want in Business or in Life
Before you spend another cent on any seminar, mentoring, online learning or even a book I suggest you do the following 3 strategies. You will need a coach who deals with these stoppers or saboteurs. If you do, it will be the best money you ever spend on yourself.
You Must Identify these Unconscious Stoppers or Saboteurs
Everyone says that it is the foundations of whatever you are going to build that is the most important factor. But I say it is the ground where you place the foundation that matters most when it comes to what you achieve. Your beliefs are that ground.
Because these Stoppers or Saboteurs are rooted in your unconscious mind you first have to discover what they actually are. For example, you might think consciously you can earn a great income but your Stopper might believe (Who manages all your finances) that money is the root of all evil.
Some of these "Stoppers' are so powerful that they instantly reject any thought of progress. This can be more dominant where the desire is to earn more money.
I know people who have attended 'Millionaire Thinking' seminars several times over a number of years, yet their income has not increased at all. This is because their unconscious mind cannot comprehend the thought of becoming so rich.
For others it can't accept that they will ever go from a low 5 figure to a high SEVEN figure income. The jump is just too big. This is why it will automatically reject such new thoughts.
Most people don't know what is holding them back and this causes deep frustration with a lot of people. Some people come to see me almost tearing their hair out.
Important Tip: Stoppers or Saboteurs live in your unconscious mind silently, steadfastly and obediently driving your behaviour which determines what you get in life.
A superb coach will know what type of questions to ask you whereby your unconscious mind will reveal your unconscious 'Stoppers'. Your language can reveal these too.
You Must Eliminate these Limiting Beliefs (Stoppers and Saboteurs) Forever
Once these have been identified they need to be banished from your mind otherwise any success you achieve will be short lived.
Again, a great coach will know exactly how to challenge these Stoppers or Saboteurs. I go through each one with my clients and ask them power questions that simply unravel them in minutes. The responses from clients vary from short term anger, tears of happiness to extreme laughter wondering why they ever believed such nonsense for such a long time!
Most clients express utter relief like they have just found their winning lottery ticket.
I really can't stress enough that as long as these 'Stoppers' remain in your unconscious mind the longer all attempts to get what you want will simply fail.
Important Tip: All limiting beliefs have a positive intention. There is no inner enemy.
You Must Install Beliefs of Excellence
If you think of a tree and you were to dig up the roots, the tree would not survive for very long. It is the same with your beliefs. Even negative ones that you have held have been supporting you. So it stands to reason that these need replacing.
There is a small void left if you like that needs replacing.
I install what I call Beliefs of Excellence into my clients' minds, the number depending on how many they need. I do this consciously (and unconsciously through metaphors, storytelling and suggestive language). This is so they can fully internalise them as beliefs of excellence.
The reason I feel a coach must be present when this is done is because the mind resists change even when that change is for the better. So any doubts or questions about these beliefs of excellence, can be discussed and doubts can be easily overcome.
PLUS – some of these unwanted beliefs have been living inside of you for years. Some can be very stubborn and it can take an exercise to dislodge or dig them up. They can be the main roots if you like.
Important Tip: As soon as your Stoppers or Saboteurs (Limiting Beliefs) have been eliminated you will see a sudden surge forward towards what you want to achieve.
The great news is once these beliefs have been identified, weeded out and obliterated progress is phenomenal. Even prior learning gained from attending seminars or any other form of positive learning, suddenly falls in to place or seems to make perfect sense to the person.
And I know this: Success does become easier; it does last. Whatever the Stopper was holding you back, once banished from the unconscious mind will catapult you forwards.
Look at it like a road to where you want to go. Imagine if the road was cleared of debris, potholes, walls and other obstacles that needn't be there? How much faster would your journey be? Of course you still have to travel the road but it is far easier for sure.
And yes, there will still be obstacles but now they don't stop you from achieving. You are better equipped to deal with anything that falls in your way. You are armed with an arsenal of beliefs that will thrust you forward at light speed towards whatever it is you want to achieve.
Your wildest dreams do become a reality.
Anything really does become possible. And you will fully – consciously and unconsciously – believe it!
What do think the benefits could be by erasing these 'Stoppers'? How do think your life would greatly improve if you had 11 beliefs of excellence driving your behaviour?
If you want personal coaching to banish these invisible 'Stoppers' from your life and propel your journey to being more successful, richer, happier or experience healthier relationships then head over to my site now.
It could be the best money you ever spend to self-improve.

Deregulated Capitalism is Superior to Alternatives
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|7 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|3,216 times
|Debate No:
=== Framework ===
Deregulated Capitalism - The bare bones laws stemming from the Non-Aggression Principle. http://en.wikipedia.org...
Superior - I'll chose my weighing standard later if necessary. I plan to demonstrate uncontroversial advantage. Just remember this is a comparative exercise, so if you don't employ ceteris parabis you fail. http://en.wikipedia.org...
Alternatives - Pick whatever you want. I basically plan to cross-apply all your arguments back on you.
=== Prestandards ===
In order to promote fair debate, the following prestandards are copypasted from my previous debates. Always use protection!
1) Dropping arguments and bringing them up later allows an unfair advantage. For example, if I run utilitarianism in round 1, egalitariansim in round 2, and justice in round 3, I can just pick up whichever my opponent fails to address in round 4. Because we have limited space, dropped arguments ought to count as concessions.
2) Supporting citations must be clearly articulated in the debate. Writing: "Abortion is wrong [1]" is problematic on two counts. First, it does not justify a ballot because this is not an substantiated argument - it's an appeal to authority. Second, it is abusive because the debater is trying to glean offense outside of their round.
1. You have already distinguished your form of libertarianism as stemming from the non-aggression principle which is defined in your article as (I'm paraphrasing here) the government will serve as a regulator if and only if harm is initiated upon a person or persons or their property. Does this extend to laborers working under dangerous conditions due to the negligence of a proprietor? I realize this strays quite a bit from the definition but I would like to be sure before I argue my points.
2. In your definition of libertarianism can the means of production be owned by the laborers or a collective of people instead of one sole proprietor?
I won't construct any arguments because you haven't given me an alternative, so I'll just answer your questions.
The criterion for aggression is whether something is voluntary. So if someone voluntarily agrees to work in a factory with unsafe working conditions, this is not a violation of the NAP.
Yes. Any kind of property is in principle ownable by many people. Specifically I think that the use-theory of ownership is the most logically compatible with the NAP. It states that you have a right to do something as long as it does not aggressively interfere with what someone else is already doing. So you can farm a plot of unowned land, and no one has a right to interfere with your farming. But they can still use the land in ways that don't interfere with your activity, such as flying planes over or broadcasting radio waves through it. So I reject lockean/mixing/cardinal theories of ownership.
If you have any further questions, go to the comments or PM me. We have a limited number of rounds.
My opponent believes that deregulated capitalism that is based on the non-aggression principle is the best of any alternative to any economic theory out there. I will prove that this economic system when compared to a more regulated free market, such as in the social democracies in western Europe, would be less favorable for society as a whole. This argument is based on three contentions:
1. Deregulation Inadvertently Makes the Free Market Less Free
In the case of deregulated capitalism there can be fierce competition among a plethora of consumer choices and this is good for the consumer. After all if a consumer does not like whatever one provider of a service or commodity is selling they can always go to another one. However, if these choices dwindle because one provider is out competing another or they decide to merge because they would make more of a profit by doing so this would create less freedom in the market. Since the goal of a provider in capitalism is to get the maximum output of profit with the minimum input of funds we see how it is rational to think that some of these cases in which a provider is bought out by another happen often. Consequently, this may bring down the quality of goods and may leave them at a fixed price that may be costly. Since the provider has no competition and and he could be dealing with a commodity which is in high demand (such as oil), it is completely rational for him to charge a very high price for a low quality product. Again, I refer to the goal of capitalism. We can see how these specific conditions would detrimental for consumers since A. they are not getting the best possible product out of a provider and B. They have no other choice so they have to buy an expensive product. Based on the non-aggression principle which is defined as: an ethical stance which asserts that aggression is inherently illegitimate (this also includes fraud upon a person or his property), there is nothing a government can do because price fixing is A. not aggressive B. it is not fraud since that is the price of the commodity if the provider so chooses it and no one can tell him otherwise (so technically he isn't lying.) Furthermore not only can I provide rationality behind why monopolies form but I can provide examples of companies that have become monopolies during the 1800's and early 1900's, the most deregulated period of business in our history:
Standard oil
International Harvester and American Tobacco
US Steel
Finally a government that is not bound by the non-aggression principle can put anti-monopoly laws into place. This would make for more consumer freedom and an overall better climate since this makes the market more competitive which brings about lower prices and better products.
2. A System of Economics Based on the Non-aggression Principle Would be Less Safe and Discourage Economic Growth
Since non-aggression principle covers consumers only in the cases of initiated aggression or fraud, it cannot possibly cover everything that can be detrimental to a consumers health. These things include lead in baby toys, toxic ingredients in products for consumption such as tobacco, food, water, alcohol, and finally safety regulations for automobiles which our society (reality) deems safe. Again, the goal of a provider in capitalism is to provide the smallest input possible with the maximum output possible, so the less you spend on safety without actually killing someone the better off you are. I have to objections to this, 1. Again deregulated capitalism fails the consumer since they again are not getting the best possible product because of a lack of safety 2. If the products that the consumer buys are hurting him it is irrational for him to buy these products. My opponent can come back and say you do not need, a car, tobacco, alcohol, or baby toys to live so you have a choice. Yes, I would grant him that however he says deregulated capitalism is the BEST of all possible alternatives, clearly, we see that a society in which consumers do not buy commodities for fear of dying is not the best of all possible alternatives (not to mention he still has to hurdle through the fact that we need water and food for survival.) Again, my opponent can come back and say, the market would take care of safety regulations on its own by the choice of the consumer. However, there are direct examples from our history in which the market did not take care of safety regulations until government stepped in such as, the meat packing industry and pharmaceutical industry. Granted that safety regulations on the free market do not insure the safety of the consumer, however, this is better than the alternative. Finally in a system in which the free market is more trustworthy through a system of sanctions and rewards for being safe would encourage consumer input and thus make a society prosper.
3. Decreased Regulation Encourages Oppression of Workers
The non-aggression principle fails the worker in the sense that so as long as the owner of a workplace does not initiate aggression or commits fraud against him it is within in his power to choose whatever he wants with the worker if the worker chooses to work at his establishment. This means things like wage, hours, benefits, breaks, and safety regulations are completely up to the owner of the establishment. Again, the owner wants to output the most as possible with inputting the least possible. If we hold this to be true (which anyone who has the slightest idea of what capitalism is would agree with me) it would be completely rational for him to pay his workers little to no pay (according to any standards in any society), give him no breaks, make him work as long as humanly possible, give him no benefits, and throw safety regulations out the window so long as productivity is up. One argument could be that the worker has a choice in where he wants to work and that is a rational argument. However, if most of the providers of a service are trying to act as rationally as possible they will all treat workers the same because that it is what will maximize their output. So the worker is left to choose between tweedle dee and tweedle dumb and they will choose either way because they need to survive. In a society in which a government lays out certain parameters for how a workplace should treat its workers would be more A. more prosperous because the standard of living would go up for everyone B. workers would have an incentive other than survival and thus live a more of a happy life.
=== Pro Case ===
2) Violation of Ceteris Parabis Assumptions
=== Con Case ===
Con thinks firms can collude and become uncompetitive. But this would create excess profit opportunities, allowing old firms to expand and new firms to enter the market. So as long as are no legal barriers to entry, we don't have to worry about collusion.
Even if Con thinks capitalism allows people to screw each other over, states can do it with guns. Malicious intent without guns (capitalism) is superior to malicious intent with guns (states).
Con doesn't realize that monopoly prices can also be a good thing. High expected monopoly profits incentivize innovation. For example, a cure for cancer might never be invented if firms can't get monopoly prices out of it.
B) Firm Self Interest
My opponent's attempt at reducing my argument to an exercise in grammar is a red herring. He is trying to distract the voter from the real issue. Obviously if you read the rest of my argument you cannot replace the nouns in my thesis. A mailbox for example, does not provide people with goods and services and a house cannot establish boundaries for the way the mailbox should do business. This is also wrong because my opponent provided a definition of the free market and I am just arguing based on it.
2. A.) Again, this is another red herring. I never used an appeal to emotion to force anyone to apologize, I simply stated what would be rational to a provider in a free market system according to Anthony Down's "An Economic theory of democracy". My opponent is also giving me a false alternative by creating a false analogy. Let's define a socialist democracy as it is defined in the oxford online dictionary:
A socialist system of government achieved by democratic means
now let us define a free market:
an economic system in which prices are determined by unrestricted competition between privately owned businesses.
Now let us define communism:
a theory or system of social organization based on the holding of all property in common, actual ownership being ascribed to the community as a whole or to the state.
So even if my opponents arguments were true he would have to apologize because this definition of free markets is consistent with my arguments as well as my opponents definition of a free market (naturally since I am basing my arguments on his definition of the free market.) On the other hand the oxford dictionary's definition of communism is not consistent with what I am proposing because the definition of communism does not contain anything about democratic means. Thus my opponent's analogy breaks down and my system of a socialist democracy is not liable for any states that commit acts under the banner of communism.
B.) Yes, people are "jerks" hence the reason why their should be laws against it. Society should and it does sanction you for being a jerk even based on your definition (depending on the degree of course a bully on the playground should not get the same sanctions as hitler should.) Yes the state has guns and so do the people if the people so decide hence the the definition of a social democracy. This is also a straw man since I never said people couldn't have guns to defend themselves against a coercive government. Yes the state can become a law monopolist hence the reason why these laws come to be through democratic means so the people can be a check on the federal government (through republican means or direct democracy, I didn't really specify and I suppose it doesn't really much matter so long as the people have a say.)
C.) My opponent again is creating another straw man. I never said that they WILL because my argument went more like this "IF business does X given a certain set of circumstances government should do Y." Yes, I completely agree with you, businesses should restrain themselves. However, based on rational and historical arguments they don't hence the reason we are having this debate. Yes, I don't get to control a states behavior but a given people that make up a given government can and based on the net aggregate of pleasure over pain I am saying people would think it would be rational to regulate business. I think the incentives of a democracy are pretty self evident... you don't do your job you get voted out.
D.) Again, I agree with my opponent but again a system of checks in balances in which the people are involved takes care of the state becoming an aggressive monopoly.
A.) this doesn't even make sense given the definition of a monopoly, exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market, or a control that makes possible the manipulation of prices. If a firm has full control of a market and can manipulate the prices however they want, why would they allow the entry of new firms that could possibly lower prices? My opponent's effort to explain my argument away makes even less sense when we look at a real life example of a firm that is the closest to a monopoly in the US, Wal-mart.
According to an Article written by Jeff Hwang says wal-mart is having a negative impact on competition. He writes:
"According to Business Week, "for every Wal-Mart supercenter that opens in the next five years, two other supermarkets will close." And this is done without creating new jobs."
According to this analysis, I would ask my opponent, if wal-mart (an old firm) is entering new markets why is it that so many super markets are closing and there are no new ones to replace them? I mean according to you're argument if X expands their should be more opportunities for little x to join the market? Why is this not the case for wal-mart?
B.) Capitalism and the Profit motive: This argument is fallacious. My opponent's argument goes like this I use x to get y because it's of importance to me however since I have y, x is no longer important. However, what if y is sustained by x wouldn't I want to get the most of x as possible so that I could ultimately get more y? Again we see a straw man, I never said social democracies are immune to human greed (this would be illogical since greed is almost a necessary condition of being a human) , what I am arguing is that their could be regulations to ease suffering as a consequence of greed.
- Yes states can become coercive if they have "guns" but citizens can arm themselves if they so choose that is why they are part of a democracy. If the democratic process no longer works society can turn against it's coercive government and start over again.
C.) My opponent is leaving his argument incomplete to support his case. He forgets the part where a monopoly can create an artificial shortage of a given product to bring up their prices. So yes, they can expand their output and they could bring down the prices of their product or they could choose to create an artificial shortage to bring prices up. This would actually be more rational since the cost of manufacturing would be less and you would be getting more money. Don't bring the tired argument that socialist want to create a utopia. Yes, I do grant you that opec is made up of governments but this is a false analogy since most of these countries are either A. Dictatorships B. absolute monarchies. Obviously this is not what I mean by a social democracy. However, I do take responsibility for a bad example.
The examples that I stated of monopolies in the 1800's were not an example of what my opponent has framed but merely an example of monopolies that can and will form in deregulated free market. However I do have examples of the abuse of standard oil's power as a monopoly, they include:
(1) Temporarily undercutting the prices of competitors until they either went out of business or sold out to Standard Oil.
(2) Buying up the components needed to make oil barrels in order to prevent competitors from getting their oil to customers.
(3) Using its large and growing volume of oil shipments to negotiate an alliance with the railroads that gave it secret rebates and thereby reduced its effective shipping costs to a level far below the rates charged to its competitors.
(4) Secretly buying up competitors and then having officials from those companies spy on and give advance warning of deals being planned by other competitors.
(5) Secretly buying up or creating new oil-related companies, such as pipeline and engineering firms, that appeared be independent operators but which gave Standard Oil hidden rebates.
(6) Dispatching thugs who used threats and physical violence to break up the operations of competitors who could not otherwise be persuaded.
The tags have been completely destroyed. I'll do my best to keep this organized.
B) Turn Against States
He also mentions interpersonal comparisons of utility which are impossible because we lack an objective touchstone.
=== Con Case ===
Firms serve consumers diligently because they are trying to maintain/capture market share from other firms
2. How is this cherry picking? The system of government does not fall under the same definition of the system of government that my opponent proposed. If anything, my opponent is guilty of a faulty generalization. Just because States have one thing in common (that they are both governments) does not mean they are the same. I didn't use symbolic logic since my opponent is confused by this. You have different types of states you have democracies, monarchies, oligarchies, theocracies, etc.
Objection #1. I don't really know what this objection really has to do with... well anything since we are arguing which system of government is better and I am arguing for democratic socialism. Again just because democratic socialism has something in common (state intervention) with another form government it doesn't make them equal.
Objections #2. My starting point is a consequence of the short comings of the non-aggression principle. Since this principle does not benefit most people it is rational for them to make laws that limit abuses of the free market hence we create institutions that effectively stop this. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, France, those are socialist democracies that are effective and who have a better standard of living than the United States. How many countries can anyone name with a government who's economic policy is purely based on the non-aggression principle (they don't even have to have a better standard of living than the US)? NONE. So if my opponent wants to use this argument he destroys the premise of his argument since it has never been tested.
B.) My opponent is trying to belittle my argument by saying that things that are commonly seen as bad should not be outlawed. His argument comes down to "we can't stop people from doing bad things, so lets only do something in the most extreme of cases." My opponent is being ambiguous, how does the state allow people to attack each other when the law would prevent it? For his second rebuttal I like to remind my opponent that he used the examples of the state having guns. I just used his logic to show him that people can revolt if they see their government is becoming dictatorial or too coercive.
3.) This is a straw man I never conceded since I never disagreed in the first place. Furthermore if my opponent's logic that people's votes don't count is true than a state can become aggressively coercive in any form of government including my opponent's. Thus his objection from round 3 breaks down.
4.) Actually, we can point to our own government to see that the majority is not the final say. We have a two bi-cameral congress. One represents the majority (the house) and the other represents the minority (the senate). These two houses balance each out thus you have a check. My opponent should read up on history so he doesn't make absolute statements.
1.) This is not a random outcome, my opponent is creating a red herring by simply calling it one. You said new firms are allowed to enter if a firm has a monopoly over the market. I gave you a real life situation where this isn't the case.
You're not allowed to physically attack people under capitalism but a monopoly is allowed to lower prices so that weaker firms are not competitive. Again, for the third time, I go to the definition of a monopoly. My opponent's objection of buildings being freed up is analogous to if a farmer works a plot of land the whole season and his crops burn down before he can yield anything it is not all bad since he has more room to work with. Again, I never said this but my opponent likes use straw men to further his case. It's actually sort of funny that my opponent is using a term from 1984 as an ad hominem since the writer Eric Blair (George Orwell) actually identifies himself as a democratic socialist. Fail.
B. Ok I won't use symbolic logic as it confuses you. Using money to by things you like does not make money lose its value. You could like things that involve lots and lots of money so therefore you want to make as much of it as possible. Again, I did not concede to you because i never said greed wasn't a part of the human condition, you're putting words in my mouth again. Again not only did I say it "could use regulations to mitigate the effects of greed," I gave you real life examples where it was effective. Again, I ask you how does regulation of the free market give people the right to attack each other? Again, you have an unsubstantiated claim. Why is there any reason to believe that artificial shortages are temporary? Again, this a faulty generalization socialist democracies do not operate the same way as the nations in opec. My opponent wants to say that because they have one thing in common they are all equally tyrannical. According to my opponents definition of cherry picking we can include his form of government since telling people not to murder or commit fraud is a form of coercion. My opponent's economic system on the other hand has a lot of things in common with the United States in the pre-progressive era both were virtually unregulated and they were under a democratic system. My standard oil objection points out the shortcomings of an economic system that strictly employed a non-aggression principle stance.
A. It made the market smaller
B. it did illegal (non-capitalist) things and continued to until government intervened
My opponents objections actually supports my case.
One example of a commodity that governments are better at providing is healthcare. The United States which has a private healthcare system pays more per capita than any country in the world. In the best case European countries spend 3 times less on healthcare than The US does. Let's see here... I think paying 3 times less is better than paying 2 times less. Oh yeah and the consumer pays nothing. Not only do they offer it for free but France, Canada and many others allow private companies to compete. Britain has sustained this for over 45 years.
E) International Harvester and American Tobacco intentionally deceived consumers by saying their product would cure anything from menstrual cramps to asthma. Again this deception went on till government intervened.
G) My opponent is guilty of ambiguity. How exactly is breaking monopolies up not letting an economy get to a full scale? If anything it's harmful to a consumer because there are less choices.
2) A. My opponent is basically saying... we'll trust the market so long as they promise they won't hurt us, this doesn't sound to reassuring.
B. ) Yes, this is true so long as there is competition
C.) This sounds good ideally but this is not the case since companies have used Coercive means to dismantle unions so the worker would not have a voice. Even in my opponents stance this could be perfectly legal since it is not aggressive to fire an employee if they so choose to join a union.
I hope those are trustworthy enough for my opponent even though he uses a cite that freshmen english classes don't let you use as a source.
How do I prove to you that you're a moron?
"My opponent's attempt at reducing my argument to an exercise in grammar is a red herring. He is trying to distract the voter from the real issue."
"My opponent again is creating another straw man."
"My opponent is trying to belittle my argument by saying that…"
Welcome to the world of debating Sieben.
Tbh I don't think examples are good. Here is why - http://www.debate.org... I consider it a form of trolling and I can outtroll my opponents if I really want to.
Con argues that in absence of regulation, big business can be jerk. Pro counters effectively that government can be (actually usually is) a bigger jerk. Examples provided by Con re not very effective, specially since the sources are not that good.
I would have voted 3:2 for Pro. I am making it 4:2, since Pro has provides good presentation which is easier to follow. Con's argument is tough to read - though that is partially a result of the challenging topic.
I am bit dismayed that Pro did not use example of India. Indian industry bloomed when the regulations were eased in 1992, ending what is known as 'license/permit raj'. 'Raj' is rule. You needed license or permit to start any business. Corner a particular number of permits through corruption and then your 'raj' starts.
You: "I only support states that already have good institutions in place. The institutions also have to be well behaved with established and functional checks and balances."
But you wouldn't let me say: "I only support markets that already have good institutions in place. The institutions also have to be well behaved with established and functional checks and balances".
So you apply incentives and game theory to me, but for some reason they don't apply to you. Just because you DEFINE socialist democracy doesn't mean you get to claim it, and it certainly doesn't mean its a valid political position... After all, self-controlled happyfun freemarkets is definable too, but no one takes it seriously because it simply defines away a whole host of fundamental social problems. You're doing the same thing.
Use your own judgement... generally new arguments in the last round is considered abusive. As far as I can see I just flowed everything. Con kind of keeps changing his mind about arguments/sources he wants to use.

Title: Enticing Interlude ~ Series: Tempest Series # 2
Cover Designer: Cover created by Michelle Preast of Indie Book Covers
Genre ~ New Adult
Two years ago everything changed for the remaining members of the Seattle rock band Tempest. Two years is a long time. Too long to keep on remembering. Not nearly long enough to forget. In trouble with nowhere else to go songstress Lace Lowell seeks refuge with the band during their stop in New York City. It's a risky move for her because they are both there, two impossibly good looking men whose lives are inseparably entwined with hers. One who bruised her heart and one who smashed it into pieces. Warren "War" Jinkins, the mercurial lead singer of Tempest, has always had a thing for Lace. But then again so does his best friend and band mate. Bryan "Bullet" Jackson, the sinfully handsome tat-sleeved lead guitarist, has a bad boy reputation befitting his nickname. For the past two years Bullet's had a rule with the groupies: one time, never twice, leave 'em satisfied, but always leave 'em. Two guys, one woman, and a host of dark secrets all together within the tight confines of a tour bus as the group travels cross country. Can the past be forgotten and buried? Will friendships prevail? Or will the three of them succumb to seductive impulses too addictive to resist? ** Irresistible Refrain is a gritty rock and roll tale intended for mature readers seventeen and up. Contains sexual situations, strong language, and drug use. **a Rafflecopter giveaway

It is a good thing that the new 2018 Buick Encore will be coming with a lot of improvements and updates. The company has confirmed the news that they have been working super hard to develop their lines, putting major roles on their crossovers. They have been making updates for the Enclave and also the Encore. Some changes are going to be drastic and radical, but that's what expected from the company. With new construction, significant weight reduction, and the possibility of new powertrain…… the Encore will be ready!
Redesign Plan
The major updates will be visible on the exterior look where the front area will look different. With new headlights and grille, with the addition of chrome effect, lights, and also new bumper, the overall look will be unique, stylish, and catchy. A if it weren't enough, the changes won't stop there because Buick has prepared new wheel set, rear area, and different rear shape. If you are looking at the spyshot pictures, you know what I'm talking about.
The changes are also happening on the interior cabin where new technologies and comfort of ambiance are improved. With refreshed upholstery, including the leather, the interior isn't only different, but certainly looking classy, comfortable, and functional. Expect heated steering wheel, improved cluster control, and new display on the dashboard to deliver a more stylish look for the new 2018 Buick Encore.
The four cylinder unit will be the major focus of Encore powertrain. With four cylinder EcoTect 1.4 liter engine that is delivering 140 hp of power and the four cylinder turbocharged EcoTect 1.4 liter engine that is producing 155 hp of power, you have the freedom to choose which one right up your alley. Both of them will be paired with automatic six speed transmission and front wheel driving system. There will be optional all wheel driving system for the 2018 Buick Encore.
There hasn't been much update and information that Buick has provided for the world to know but they are sure that the new Encore won't disappoint at all. Let's hope that they don't only give empty words and promises, shall we?
Price and Release Date
It seems that Encore is on its way to the launch – the company still needs to do a small touchup to make it ready. Although it is unknown when the new Encore will be released, it seems that it is going to happen soon – maybe in the mid of 2017. The predicted price is around $25,000 for the base trim of 2018 Buick Encore.

The Transfer Project is a multi-country research initiative to provide rigorous evidence on the impact of large-scale national cash transfer programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. It is made up by a community of research, donor and implementing partners who focus on coordination in efforts and uptake of results. The project provides technical assistance in the design, implementation and analysis of government programmes in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Programmes are nationally owned and implemented by each government, and there is focus on dissemination of results to national stakeholders, as well as regional workshops to allow for cross-country learning and capacity building.
Since its establishment in 2008, the Transfer Project has been collecting a substantial amount of evidence on the multitude of impacts of cash transfers in sub-Saharan Africa. Many governments are scaling-up their programmes, and thus policy and implementation questions are changing. Through this project, policymakers, researchers and programme implementers have the opportunity to share their experiences, address similar challenges and share the latest research and lessons learned.
The Transfer Project has recognized from its inception the centrality of facilitating learning with a wide range of actors in order to achieve its goal of informing better design and implementation of social transfer programmes. All project partners are committed to the importance of this project as a public good and to the promotion of broad learning in the region, and beyond. In order meet this objective, the project engages with policymakers and processes at national, regional and international level on an ongoing basis – not only to share findings of the research, but also to ensure that stakeholders' priority questions inform the formulation of research questions and that the research results flow back to inform design and implementation of social transfer programmes.
- A stronger evidence base to inform better design and implementation of social transfer programmes implemented by national governments in sub-Saharan Africa to reduce childhood poverty.
- To provide evidence on the effectiveness of social transfer programmes in achieving impacts for children and households
- To inform the development, design and implementation of national social transfer policy and programmes based on evidence, through engagement with governments, donors and civil society
- To promote learning across the continent on social transfers programme implementation, and research and evaluation
Participation in the networking and learning component of the Transfer Project is open to all countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Get Your Power Back After An Injury!
Are you having trouble regaining your quick first step following an injury? Do you consistently struggle to produce force with one shoulder? Is there a reason why a recent study shows that only 55-70% of athlete's recovering from ACL Reconstruction do not return to competitive sport (Ardern et al 2014.) I believe that a common reason is that much of today's current rehabilitation model doesn't ask an athlete to challenge his or her nervous system in the way necessary to...Continue Reading »

Ken Field
Trent University
Abstract: This presentation will begin with a review of what has brought libraries to this point in serials acquisition history and how the current state of things affects serials collection management decisions. This will be followed by an overview of the current state of affairs in serials management at Trent University and a description of the use of citation analysis, along with other tools, in the aid of making better informed decisions about serials management.
Biography: Ken has worked at Trent University for the past 28 years occupying roles as a serials cataloguer, serials librarian, access services librarian, and is currently the head of Trent's first branch library on its Durham Campus in Oshawa, Ontario, and the University's Copyright Officer. He obtained a BMusEd from Dalhousie in 1980, a Master of Library and Information Science from UBC in 1984, and a Graduate Professional Certificate in Library Sector Leadership from the University of Victoria in 2011.In addition to his work in the Library, he was Principal of Lady Eaton College, one of Trent's five residential colleges, from 1996 to 2000, and was Acting Head of the Durham Campus in 2012/13.
During his sabbatical year, he will be undertaking a citation analysis of publications of Trent Humanities and Social Sciences faculty for a 2 or 3 year period in order to gain a better understanding of the types and sources of the resources that faculty have been using in their research. The goal is to provide the Library with a better sense of whether the resources it collects and makes accessible are meeting the research needs of the faculty. He will also continue to actively monitor developments in copyright, both nationally and internationally, and provide advice and guidance to the Trent University community on how any changes may effect the application of copyright law to community practices.

Historically, membership in the United Methodist Church has always been open to anyone who "has a heart for God". We are, of course, a Christian church and accept the Apostle's Creed and the Nicene Creed as the historic definitions of the Christian faith. Discernment of God's will for each of us comes through study of the scripture, interpretation through the tradition preserved and transmitted by the Holy Spirit, our own experience of the Holy Spirit within each of our lives, and the guidance of reason, both within our own mind and in the guidance of the great cloud of Christian witnesses that surround us in the community of faith.
The specific obligations of membership in any United Methodist Church are support of the church, its mission, it members, and its ministry through our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service, and our witness.
If you have any questions on membership at La Vernia UMC, please contact the pastor.
Pastor Steve Curry
As our name informs you, we are part of the United Methodist Church, a world-wide denomination founded in 1784, growing out of the Church of England after the American Revolution. To learn more about the mission and ministry of the United Methodist Church as a whole, visit our denominational web site at www.UMC.org
The United Methodist Church is subdivided into conferences. These are the main administrative units that enable the churches to effectively carry out our ministry to all the world. We are located in the Rio Texas Annual Conference serving from Brownsville to San Angelo, and Columbus to Sheffield. For information on the Rio Texas Conference, visit www.RioTexas.org
To serve local needs in greater numbers than one church can manage, we are part of the Los Misiones District, one of eight districts in the Rio Texas Conference. For more information on our district and the other United Methodist Churches in our area, visit www.UnitedMethodistSADistrict.com

Bad shit happens in Las Vegas just about every day. Much of it is done by bad people who don't give a flying f*ck if they leave you dead or crippled for life.
The video below provides just another good reason why we should all be carrying concealed firearms at all times. This hit-and-run happened a couple of weeks ago at a gas station on Flamingo:
The scumbag with California license plates is still at large as far as I know. Contact Vegas PD if you know anything about the incident.
I would've loved to have seen the old guy pull out a .45 ACP from a concealed IWB holster and pop a few rounds through the windshield...

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the bacon with the brown sugar in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Arrange the bacon on a baking sheet and bake until light golden around the edges but still very soft, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Wipe the baking sheet clean, then spray with cooking spray.
Stir together the spinach, cream cheese, Parmesan, mayonnaise, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the spinach mixture onto each slice of bread and wrap it with a piece of bacon so that the ends are tucked under the bread (it should look a bit like a belt). Arrange the crostini on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the bacon is dark golden, about 15 minutes. These are best served warm.

Scuba diving
Tenerife offers some of the best diving in Europe with its average sea temp of 20 degrees and average visibility of 25 meters. Although we have no coral to speak of the volcanic rock formations are quite a strange sight. With a variety of different marine life stingrays ,moray eels, turtles, to name a few, and dive sites including wreck, deep and drift there is plenty for the novice but challenging enough for the more advanced diver.
Equipment and setupThe centre has all new equipment (tecnomar BCD`s and 5mm wetsuits, apex regulators) and rib (BWA with a Yamaha 200 engine) plus we always have a E.F.R qualified boat cover on the rib during every dive and depending on the group 1 or 2 guides , a maximum 10 divers per dive. . For our qualified divers we have over 20 different dive sites suitable for all levels of training. Dives sites such as: El Condesito – wreck Playa Paraiso - sting rays La Caleta - drift El Faro – naturalist El Meridian – wreck/deep La Morena – moray eels.
The Breathing Observation Bubble, which was invented by a British car designer, might look like the diving bell of old, but cast aside any worries you might have about the apparatus being heavy, unwieldy or hard to operate.
After a few minutes instruction you need only dip briefly underwater to resurface with your head inside the bubble and seated comfortably on the scooter. Before you know it you are off on an adventure, looking at the fabulous underwater world through your own personal window.
One thing that makes BOB diving so special is that there is no breathing apparatus to consider or that obscures the face of the divers. The looks of delight and surprise as a variety of marine life stop by to investigate the divers is always a highlight of the trip.
You don´t need any diving experience at all, though you should be in good health, at least 1.55 metres tall and under 74 years of age.
- includes the boat trip to and from your BOB diving spot.
We only go out twice per day and we only take small groups to ensure that everyone gets top class service. For this reason we´d suggest you reserve your BOB trip in advance.
Submarine safari
Experience a once in a lifetime opportunity and take a dive onboard a real submarine, reaching depths of 20 metres. Enjoy the magical mysteries of the undersea world, within the clear waters on this unspoilt coastline, which holds an abundance of marine life.

The most common side effect of topical corticosteroid use is skin atrophy. All topical steroids can induce atrophy, but higher potency steroids, occlusion, thinner skin, and older patient age increase the risk. The face, the backs of the hands, and intertriginous areas are particularly susceptible. Resolution often occurs after discontinuing use of these agents, but it may take months. Concurrent use of topical tretinoin (Retin-A) % may reduce the incidence of atrophy from chronic steroid applications. 30 Other side effects from topical steroids include permanent dermal atrophy, telangiectasia, and striae.
Last year I developed a rash under my eyes and I was promptly prescribed hydrocortisone cream. It didn't help much and the doctor referred me to see a dermatologist. I was told to keep using the hydrocortisone and I was discharged. As the steroid cream didn't help I searched the internet for another remedy and that's how I came across a product called Magicream. It claims it only contains natural ingredients and it promised to clear up my rash. I was so excited! I have recently found out that the cream in fact contains Clobetasol Propionate and Ketoconazole. I was devastated to find this out especially since side effects include red spots and a burning sensation! When I stopped using the cream the side effects were terrible - I don't need to tell you as you know how the withdrawal of steroid can affect ones face. I then did a search on line and found your website which made so much sense and helped me to understand what was happening with my skin. I ordered the Face & Body Wash and the Face & Neck TheraCream and I have been symptom FREE ever since. Thank you from a once frustrated person!! Trish Managold, UK

Watch Dr Sylvia on YouTube explain what to do if your first name is holding you back in life - click here.
A recent study in the Journal of Social Psychological and Personality Science found that your first name could have unintended ill effects on your future life! The effects were felt in everything from job searches to the dating scene!
With findings like that, many people are wondering how to change or downplay their names. I have seen three trends that work:
Abbreviate: Abbreviate your name and make it more common and traditional in social settings. For example, you can use your initials or part of the name as a handle.
Adopt Your Last Name: Use your last name as your nickname or use a similar name such as substituting Jack for John. People who have pleasant last names can shorten it and add a "y" to the end – names like "Sully" and "Scotty."
Give Up on Your Name Entirely: The final option is to change your name completely -- sometimes people despise their name so much that they lose the name. They legally change the name to one that reflects who they are now. If a dramatic name change is done in adulthood, it can be unsettling for the parents. However, putting up with a name you can't stand is unfair in the long run.

Hugh Corrie, who has died at the age of 82, was one of Fleet Street's great legal managers. He had that rare gift shared only by the very best. He knew how to get dynamite into the paper instead of producing endless opaque reasons for keeping it out. That is why journalists loved him.
Corrie's achievements are all the more remarkable because when he took over leadership of the legal team at the Mirror Group in the mid-1970s, legally fraught stories were not wanted. This was largely because Hugh Cudlipp had such a torrid time during the Cassandra v Liberace libel action, he vowed nobody should have to face the ordeal of a High Court witness box. Very humane and thoughtful, but it didn't make for the most exciting journalism.

Associated Newspapers agrees to pay substantial libel damages to lawyer over 'devastating attack' on her reputation

BBC wins libel battle against Imam after Sunday Politics show 'extremism' comments
- November 4, 2013
Government proposal to protect poor from libel costs could lead to increase in claims, lawyers warn
The arrival of Mike Molloy as editor of the Daily Mirror in 1975 changed all that. Molloy was all for exciting stories and Corrie, newly appointed legal chief, rose to the challenge. The exposure of Ernie Marples and his tax evasion, Joe Haines's groundbreaking revelations from inside Harold Wilson's Number 10, Chris Hutchins on the seamy truth of Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck, which became a legal landmark, and the exposure of Don Revie's match-fixing activities were as much a triumph for the Mirror legal department under Corrie as they were for the Mirror editorial.
The Paul Foot column could not have run in any other paper. Not just because Foot's unique investigative talent fitted the Mirror so well, but because few lawyers could have managed the weekly pressure of dealing with such a high-powered and relentless operator. The climax of their partnership – both were public schoolboys and both shared a history of high placed colonial service fathers, Hugh's a judge in Palestine, Paul's a governor general – was when Foot accused a man of murder, much to the horror of chairman Tony Miles. Corrie remained unfazed. He was right, and a conviction followed.
Corrie adored journalists. He loved and shared their mischief and penchant for trouble-making. The booming laugh, the mock disgust at our allegations against the great and the good, both overlaid with a profound sense of what was right and just and a deep understanding of the law and how we could live with it and use it aggressively to our advantage.
He hated Maxwell instinctively and couldn't help showing his contempt. The dislike was reciprocated and once, after a legal conference when Corrie's advice to the publisher had been confirmed as correct by counsel – something to do with a competition Hugh said was illegal – he couldn't resist pointing this out. Maxwell threw him out of the car and made him walk back to the office. Hugh's early retirement suited them both. His farewell dinner produced the greatest compliment Paul Foot could pay. He wore black tie.
Corrie's rapport with journalists earned him their trust, respect and deep affection. He also changed the safety first, belt and braces way in which lawyers tended to operate until the Mirror's string of high-wire exposures. He nurtured a new generation of fine, high-quality newspaper lawyers who bear witness today to his judgement and ability. Tom Crone at News International, Charles Collier-Wright at Trinity Mirror, Arthur Wynn Davies at the Telegraph, all learnt their trade under Hugh Corrie.
I still hear Corrie's bellow echoing down the years and across the ghost of the Mirror's Holborn newsroom: "For God's sake, Stott, you can't say THAT," followed by his braying laugh. It was Corrie's supreme talent that he somehow found a way in which I could.

Cracked Cardamom Slices
How to Make It
Combine the sugars, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger in a large bowl. Add the butter and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until light and well blended, about 2 minutes. Mix in the flour until just combined and use your hands to pull the dough into a large ball. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Unwrap the dough and divide it into 4 equal sections, then roll each section into a cylinder about 12-inches long. Arrange two of the cylinders on each baking sheet and and, using your fingertips, flatten each one to about ¼-inch thickness. Pressing down gently with the tines of a fork, press a striped pattern along the length of the dough. (Note: take care to leave 1 ½ to 2-inches between each log of dough to allow for spreading during baking.)
Bake the sections for about 15 minutes or until their edges turn a deep golden brown. Let cool for 2 minutes and then, using a serrated knife or a pizza cutter, cut each section into 1- to 1 ½-inch diagonal slices. Transfer slices to a wire rack to cool completely.

Written by a practicing trial lawyer and packed with hundreds of full-color images from designers with four prominent graphic design firms, Images with Impact: Design and Use of Winning Trial Visuals is a "must have" for trial lawyers and other professional presenters to help turn key themes into visual images the viewer will understand, believe and remember.

Many studies have been conducted over the years on the importance of visual perception and visual communication. The consistent takeaway is that using visuals makes a difference in how humans communicate. And then there's the jury setting itself—it is like no other. And that matters, too. Appreciating how jury trials are fundamentally different from other communication settings is critical to the effective design of our trial visuals.
At its core, Images with Impact: Design and Use of Winning Trial Visuals is about helping to win trials with effective visual images. Each chapter builds to give substantive ideas, design guidance, and practical and legal tips for improving jury visuals.

Praise for Images with Impact: Design and Use of Winning Trial Visuals
"When preparing for trial, whether in practice or on the bench, I have always consulted the annotated Federal Rules of Evidence and Thomas Mauet's Fundamentals of Trial Techniques. I now have a trilogy of resources. Images With Impact: Design and Use of Winning Trial Visuals is a masterful exposition of why, how and when to use visual evidence. This book is a must for the trial lawyer's library."
--The Hon. Walter D. Kelley, Jr., former United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Virginia; Partner, Hausfeld
"One of the best trial lawyers I know, Kerri designs trial graphics that dramatically enhance the jury's comprehension, recollection and acceptance of her case themes. This groundbreaking book will help you win your trials; it belongs in the library of any serious trial lawyer who wants to up his or her game."
--Henry W. Asbill, Partner, Jones Day
"Essential reading for every trial lawyer. Practical and information-packed, Images with Impact translates visual communication principles into step-by-step strategies any lawyer can master. This book is a resource attorneys should consult every time they go to trial."
--Marjorie Fargo, Principal and Senior Trial Consultant, Jury Services, Inc.
"An outstanding guide for visually connecting with juries, and even for bench trials and arbitrations. Kerri's advice is insightful, straightforward and easy to implement."
--Leslie Ellis, Ph.D., Director, DecisionQuest
Kerri frames her advice for trial lawyers, but anyone who gives spoken presentations should buy this book and use it. Trial practice and clinical professors will also find this book fascinating (I couldn't put it down!) and valuable for their students.
--Joan Meier, Professor of Clinical Law, George Washington University Law School
"A clear, informed, and enormously useful resource, 'Images with Impact' is written for the working courtroom attorney. Covering both the how's and the why's of effective courtroom graphics, Ruttenberg's text pays off in showing the practicalities of what jurors need to see as well as the design principles that keep that visual message impactful, persuasive, and memorable."
--Ken Broda-Bahm, Ph.D., Senior Litigation Consultant, Persuasion Strategies
"Today's jurors learn visually from TV, phone, and computer screens. If lawyers just use words and no visuals, they are already losing. This must-have book teaches how to let the jury "see" your case, and touch their hearts and minds."
--Randi McGinn, McGinn, Carpenter, Montoya and Love, PA – Albuquerque, NM
"A terrific and helpful book for attorneys creating persuasive exhibits and effective visuals for trial."
--Philip N. Meyer, author of "Storytelling for Lawyers"
