AEG L98699FL review
|Review: February 2014
In a nutshell: The 9 Series is AEG's ultimate washing machine! With an energy efficiency that outperforms the EU's maximum rating by 20% and a very fast A-rated 1600rpm spin speed, this far exceeds the efficiency of most washers. It's incredibly quiet too, both in wash and spin mode. Control is simple thanks to the over-sized LogiControl LCD display, and there's a huge choice of programmes and features, including steam wash to care for your clothes. A machine of this calibre is far more expensive than most, but it's built to last and should be considered a wise long-term investment.
AEG L98699FL features include:
- Capacity: 9 kg
- Maximum spin speed: 1600 rpm
- Energy efficiency class: 20% more energy-efficient than A+++
- Spin class: A
- Silent System Plus
- Steam programmes
- LogiControl LCD display
- Ultra quick wash
- Pre-wash option
- Anti-allergy programme
- Delay start option
- ProTex Plus washing machine with Woolmark Silver certification
- Aqua-Control system protects against leaks
- Child safety lock
- Noise level (washing): 47dB
- Noise level (spinning): 73dB
- Dimensions (H X W X D): 85 x 60 x 60.5 cm
- Can be built-under
- Colour: White

Yes, Roses & Snowflakes is on Etsy. Yes, there's just the one item listed so far. And yes, I'm very excited!
Yes, Roses & Snowflakes is on Etsy. Yes, there's just the one item listed so far. And yes, I'm very excited!
Back in March I decided that it was really time to stop buying cookbooks and start using the ones I already had. And I am so glad that I did, as it has been a real success thus far. (The "using the books I already had" bit, not the moratorium on buying new books. I'm about to crack and buy "Simply Nigella", as the library will probably want their copy back at some point.)
So, in March I aimed to cook a recipe a week from "Save with Jamie", and it was actually very easy to cook almost twice that.
As the cover promises, the aim of the book is to help people shop smart, cook clever and waste less. The Shop Smart section is written with a lightness of touch, and neither pontificates nor alienates readers with different budgets or experience of being savvy. Two nuggets (of information, not chicken) that I took away were that mushrooms can be frozen and that fresh herbs keep longer if you trim the stalks and then wrap them in damp kitchen paper. Useful to know.
The real gold, though, is in the recipes themselves.
Each section apart from Veg starts with a "mothership" recipe for a roast, and is followed by 7 or so recipes using the leftovers and then others to be cooked from scratch. I did some of each – verdicts below:
From scratch
And there are many, many other recipes just waiting to be tried. This book celebrates nourishing food, full of flavour and variety that can be cooked midweek. And it is a joy.
I have loved cross stitch for – eek – twenty-five years, and so was really excited to put together a little starter kit for our gorgeous niece's sixth birthday.
I put in the following:
For the bag, I used the 6 inch pattern and tutorial at Peggy Sew, and the fabric was from Hobbycraft (£8/metre, but only a little is needed).
I'll definitely make more of the bags, and next time will try using interfacing or looking for a thinner fleece for the lining than the one I used, as it came out a little bulky.
It was a straightforward project, thanks to the very clear and well illustrated tutorial, and the only difficulty was of my own making. I was feeling particularly smug about the zip seeming to go in well, only to realise that I'd sewed right down the middle of it. There followed an anxious few minutes of unpicking and seeing if I'd broken any teeth, but I was lucky. I still need a lot of practice with zips, but at least I'm no longer terrified of them. Or at least, not so terrified.
I've just this moment finished making this reversible tote bag, using some of the Ikea Rosali fabric I bought recently. It's a birthday present for a friend's lovely daughter, who is about to turn eleven. Will an eleven year old like it? I really hope so, but have no idea. I worked on the principle that I liked pretty things when I was eleven and that bags are always useful, particularly since the 5p plastic carrier bag charge was introduced in England last autumn. Although that may not be something that teenagers are particularly worried about. Oh dear, now I'm doubting myself. Ah well, fortunately she's much too polite to tell me if she never uses it.
Anyway, I used a tote bag that I have as a guide for the measurements, and cut out an 86 x 38 cm rectangle of each fabric. I folded the flowered fabric in half horizontally, stitched right sides together down the edges*, then mitred the corners. (As the fold makes the bottom of the bag, I pressed it well, to make it easier to match it up with the seam.) I wanted a decent sized base to the bag, so made the line of stitching at each corner 8 cm. Then I folded over the top of the bag by about 2 cm and pressed it, and did the whole thing all over again with the spotted fabric.
*at this point, I think I should have pressed the seams flat. I did later, but think earlier on might have worked better.
For the handles (4 strips of 76 x 4 cm) I used the top-stitched method from the tutorial I followed when making the children's reversible bags last week. This way of making straps/handles was a revelation. Previously I'd have sewn them wrong sides together and then turned them out, which I loathe as it always takes me a ridiculously long time.
I kept it really simple by using a very small seam allowance when sewing the two pieces of each handle together, then folding each long edge into the middle and pressing, then folding over again and top stitching each long edge. This resulted in handles that were just less than 2 cm wide. Having learnt my lesson from last time, I also made them from just one of the fabrics, rather than both, as slightly wobbly cutting out/matching of edges shows much less this way.
Then all there remained to do was turn one of the bags the right way out (in this case the flowered one), put the other one inside it so that they were now wrong sides together, position the ends of the handles inside the two layers (again using my own tote bag as a guide), pin and top stitch round the whole edge.
Towards the end, I realised that this was quite possibly the first time I had made something on the spot for someone else. I've sewn presents before, but they have been labours of love, requiring much planning and often a fair amount of blood, sweat and tears. This, on the other hand, had been a straightforward and enjoyable alternative to buying a present in a shop. Finally, my hobby was useful! And – because it was late and hopped up on tea I was beginning to wax lyrical – I felt that I was becoming the person I had always wanted to be.
And then the light bulb on my sewing machine went. C'est la vie.

Oscar winner Jared Leto has signed up to star in a new ad campaign for Italian eyewear brand Carrera.
The Dallas Buyers Club star will front ads for the company's Maverick collection, which will debut internationally next month (Feb16).
Announcing the news in a statement on Friday (15Jan16), the actor said, "I've known of Carrera since I was a kid and when I came across the Maverick project I was immediately connected to it as it talks about people that are brave, bold, that take risks - the wild horses, the people that are not afraid to fail, the type of people who have inspired my whole life."

Are You an Insider Threat?
As a security expert I spend a lot of time talking to businesses about how they can create more safe and secure environments. Lately, I've been talking a lot about insider threats and what companies large and small need to do to keep themselves protected. But, this month, I am changing gears a bit. Instead of talking to businesses, I'm talking to you-yes, you as an individual.
Unintentional insider threats have cost U.S. companies millions of dollars and even the best of employees can become an insider threat. According to an article from Lancope.com, here are 5 things you can do to make sure YOU are not the cause of your own insider threat.
What is an Insider Threat:
An insider threat arises when a person with authorized access to U.S. Government resources, to include personnel, facilities, information, equipment, networks, and systems, uses that access to harm the security of the United States. Malicious insiders can inflict incalculable damage
Be mindful of devices with company data on them
Whether it's work-related emails on your phone or a company laptop out of the office, you need to be careful not to let this information get into the wrong hands. Don't store unnecessary data on your devices, avoid connecting to external networks, and always immediately report a lost or stolen device.
Encrypt data at Risk
"Most people only think about encryption when they are transferring data to a third party, but data that is sitting unused in storage is also at risk," writes Andrew Wild. Make sure sensitive data stored on mobile devices, personal computers or even external hard drives is encrypted.
Use good password practices
As Andrew writes, "sensitive data is only as safe as the password you use to protect it." Use passwords that are at least ten characters longer with some measure of complexity such as a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and symbols. It is a best practice to change your password often and do not use the same password for everything.
Beware of social engineering
The most common example of social engineering is phishing. This is where you receive a cleverly crafted email that looks legitimate but is actually trying to get you to divulge valuable information such as passwords or install malware on your devices. Currently, this same type of practice is happening via phone too. If you feel something is suspicious, check with your company's security team before proceeding with sending information.
Ensure you don't have unnecessary access privileges
You may not need access to all the data on your company's network. Limiting access has been shown to dramatically reduce the reach of a potential data breach, so if you discover you have access to data or systems that you don't need in order to do your job, notify your tech team.

Moody Analytics began using a complicated model that looks at the overall economic health and political affiliation of America on a state by state basis to predict the Presidential election winner. As forecasting goes, the model has a fairly short but perfect record. The model has correctly predicted the outcome of each of the last nine presidential elections.
In 2012, the model really flexed its muscle by correctly predicting not only the outcome, but the exact Electoral College vote. If the model maintains its 100% accuracy rating, the Democrats will be raising a glass to the next President in November 2016. Regardless of the outcome, the model predicts an extremely close race, with the usual suspects of Florida, Ohio, Iowa, and North Carolina capturing most of the election night drama.
Another forecasting phenomenon has repeated itself with remarkable regularity over the past 75 years. In every pre-election year (which we are in now) since 1939, the stock market (DJIA) has ended the year with a gain. The average annual stock market gain during those last 18 pre-election years is over 10%. No other year in the election cycle comes close to matching that performance.
The prevailing theory behind this phenomenon is that markets prosper during periods of relatively low taxes and stable government policies. Ahead of an election, politicians from both parties tend to focus on a more pro-business agenda. Members of both parties along with the more fickle independent voters become energized and enfranchised during pre-election years with the hope of their candidate either continuing on or becoming the next President.
Another component of the possible outperformance is the market's preference for stability. Post-Election years are fraught with potential course corrections as the newly elected President works on their first 100 day agenda.
Mid-Term years tend to reflect a type of voter referendum on the policies of the day and typically end up with the sitting President dealing with increased opposition in Congress. By the third year of the term, political change within the current structure is easier to predict. That along with the pre-election promises of better days ahead if you vote for me, seem to have a hypnotic effect on investors.
Exception to the Rule – 2015
Every great rule has an exception and 2015 failed to follow election or stock market history. A huge field of Republican candidates has everyone scratching their heads as to who will eventually win out. The Democratic field has a clear front-runner with little incentive to rock the boat and a clear advantage in delegates (via super delegates already pledged) before a single vote has been cast. Couple that with the recently avoided government shutdown, China slow down, and oil price collapse and 2015 had more than its share of political uncertainty to deal with.
Outside of the political landscape the world is still grappling with the repercussions of the financial crisis, global terrorism, and a host of other issues stemming from advances in science and healthcare. So maybe, just maybe, this time it really is different and the trends of the past 75 years are obsolete.
While this may indeed be the case, it is worth remembering that markets are moved by people and people have patterns. As individuals we would like to think of ourselves as unique as a snowflake and entirely unpredictable. The Moody Analytics model and the last 75 years of stock market data paint a decidedly different picture.Read More »

What a Difference a World without Women Makes:
Brokeback Mountain and the Quest for Good Ol' Frontier Masculinity
Mattilda, a.k.a. Matt Bernstein Sycamore
Not since Tom Hanks died of AIDS in Philadelphia has a "gay" movie received as much attention as Brokeback Mountain. With a straight director (Ang Lee), straight screenwriters (Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana), straight actors (Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal), and inspired by a short story written by a straight author (Annie Proulx), the movie could more accurately be described as gay-for-pay. And pay it certainly has -- with a production budget of $14 million, Brokeback Mountain grossed $66.5 million in its first 10 weeks, winning four Golden Globes (including Best Picture) and receiving eight Oscar nominations. Brokeback Mountain has also garnered fawning press, from the New York Times ("anguished love story"), to Entertainment Weekly ("a quietly revolutionary love story") to the Wall Street Journal ("a deeply felt, emotional love story that deals with the uncharted, mysterious ways of the human heart").
To probe the depths of this so-called love, it helps to examine its initiation. In the mountains of Wyoming, two ranch hands on a sheepherding expedition (Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar) get smashed together. They joke about rodeo, family and religion. Ennis says to Jack, "You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity." The camera lingers over the full moon. Later, asleep in the tent, Jack pulls Ennis's arm around him. Ennis awakens, the two grab each others' faces, ready to fight until Jack pulls his own pants down to expose his rump and Ennis spits on his hand and then pump, pump, pump as Jack groans and then they sleep like babies.
In the morning, Ennis discovers the bloody carcass of a sheep, its entire ass ripped off and devoured by coyotes (omen?). Later, Ennis and Jack get deep. Ennis: It's a one-shot thing we got goin' here. Jack: Nobody's business but ours. Ennis: You know I ain't queer. Jack: Me neither. (Anyone confident that the original story must certainly contain dialogue slightly more nuanced will be sorely disappointed -- this brilliant repartée comes right from the original). With everything resolved, the romantic music enters the scene and the two are now ready to hug and kiss, continuing to fight each other like real men yet hungering for ass, I mean affection. When Jack lassoes Ennis, it's a scene right out of Falcon Video, the reigning gay porn mega-company, until -- gasp -- they start fighting instead of fucking. Well, that's just foreplay, but then there's blood! -- it's Ennis's nose, poor thing.
This is where we need to ask a quick question about the title of this almost-made-for-porn classic. Every faggot in the world coyly refers to it as Bareback Mountain, and sure, when Annie Proulx wrote the story in the mid-'90s, she might have been unaware of the bareback media craze, headlines screaming that gay men, unable to control their basest urges, are once again spreading AIDS to the rest of us! But could it be possible that an entire production staff in 2005 was also ignorant of the media debate that has been raging for years? More likely, they were interested in cashing in (just like the porn companies, who have unleashed hundreds and hundreds of bareback sensations). For if Brokeback Mountain is also about barebacking (what other kind of sex would real men have?), it's primarily about sexual obsession, repackaged as Love: a Fragrance for Men. Where porn usually contains a great deal of mechanical sex without emotional depth, Brokeback Mountain revels in overwrought emotionality without the comeshot. Perhaps this is pornography turned inside-out -- more "respectable," and just as honest.
The ridiculous sex scene where Jack bares his own ass so that a mainstream film audience will not be forced to confront the image of a straight man raping another (straight) man, also illuminates a central agenda of the movie. True "love" between men occurs only when masculinity remains unquestioned, when men can escape the confines of the world around them and explore their primal "nature." Or, as Entertainment Weekly states, "They wrap their bodies in a rough embrace and, without a hint of seduction, they have sex, an act that's as shocking to them as it is to us."
If only those women didn't get in the way! Ennis gets married, quickly fathers two daughters, and fucks his wife up the ass while the camera cuts to Jack riding the rodeo, where he meets his wife, moves to Texas. The two reunite for occasional "fishing" trips in the mountains alone, but their love is as rough and tough and raw as ever. Jack wants Ennis to leave his wife and come with him only, but even when Ennis's wife discovers the two making out, and leaves Ennis, he remains paralyzed. Eventually Jack gets beaten to death with a tire iron for his lack of discretion with some fucking woman's man, and the tears start pouring for Ennis and the audience (Jack's wife, cold as all wives are, shows no emotion except for a new Farrah Fawcett hairdo -- welcome to the '80s!)
In the movie, homophobia is something big and awful and there's absolutely no way to challenge it, even as gay liberation rises and falls in the real world. While it is quite possible for closeted straight guys in Wyoming in 1963, when the movie begins, to exist unaware of the shifting political climate for faggots, it is nonetheless striking that, almost two decades later, they still remain entirely in the dark. Surely some homophobic remark would clue them into something about the gays. Instead, the "first Hollywood movie to unmask the homoerotic strain in American culture" (New York Times) posits a distinctively retrograde vision of the possibilities for queer love. Sure, we're all sick of boring, one-dimensional, consumer-friendly coming out movies, but Brokeback Mountain warns against any step in the coming-out direction: it'll get you killed. Living a secret life is the only possibility for "a love story that starts in 1963 and never ends" (The New Yorker). This is, as screenwriter Diana Ossana reminds us in her essay accompanying the published screenplay, "a dramatic love story involving two men who [are] not hairdressers or drag queens."

You might be the person who remembers God all the time. But once you are attached to someone who you hope to be your another half, you might be partially on that person instead of fully towards God already. This happens most of the time especially for teenagers and adults that are looking for their partner. It's kind of hard to find someone who makes you love God more than you love them.

Exhibitions presented at The Frick Collection during 2010.
Dulwich Picture Gallery holds one of the world's major collections of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century paintings. The exhibition, which heralds the Gallery's bicentenary in 2011, reintroduces American audiences to this institution's collection through an exceptional group of works, to be shown exclusively at the Frick through May 30, 2010.
Although it was not until 2008 that the first piece of maiolica entered The Frick Collection, it was an extraordinary debut: a large dish painted with a narrative scene, oristoriato, inspired by Marcantonio Raimondi's print after The Judgment of Paris by Raphael. This scene is surrounded by colorful grotesques delicately painted on a white ground, a specialty of the renowned workshop of Orazio Fontana in Urbino, to which the best pieces are usually attributed.
Painted at the height of Velázquez's career, the Frick's King Philip IV of Spain (1644) is one of the artist's consummate achievements. Contemporary chronicles as well as bills and invoices in Spanish archives indicate that it was painted in a makeshift studio only a few miles from the frontlines of a battle, and that it was completed in just three sittings. The work, which shows its subject dressed in military costume, an atypical depiction, was sent to Madrid where it was used during a victory celebration.
The greatest Spanish draftsmen from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century — Ribera, Murillo, and Goya, among them — created works of dazzling idiosyncrasy. These diverse drawings, which may be broadly characterized as possessing a specifically "Spanish manner," will be the subject of an exclusive exhibition at The Frick Collection in the fall of 2010.
Frederik Johannes Lugt (1884–1970) was a Dutch art historian, connoisseur, and collector.
It was the desire of Henry Clay Frick (1849–1919) that his extraordinary art collection and magnificent home at 1 East 70 Street be opened as a museum following his family's period of residence. After the death of his wife, Adelaide, in 1931, the mansion, built in 1913–14 by Thomas Hastings (1860–1929) of Carrère and Hastings, underwent further construction in order to transform it into a space suitable as a public institution.

Traditionally, a wedding photographer is known to organise large parts of your wedding day. Organising lengthy group photos, taking the bride and groom away from guests and family for a dedicated photoshoot, setting up the clichéed signing the register shot, making you pose in awkward and un-natural positions and force a smile, you know the rest....
I don't do any of that.
My approach is as if I was a guest at your wedding that you know well, and feel comfortable around. Blending in with your guests, and seamlessly capturing photos of it all, without asking you to do anything.
I want you to enjoy your wedding day as if I wasn't even there.
What I do:
I like my photos to tell a story. I like you to see them and remember that moment.

Pictures tell a story…and every great story is filled with conflict!
Isn't that true of every great story you have ever heard? My story is a great one, too. Full of troubles and celebrations, pain and love, failures and successes, tears and laughter, and gratefully, lots of friends and coffee!
I am a mom of the three most beautiful and perfectly flawed children. Jesus Christ is the center of our family. Photography is my passion, music feeds my soul, and a wonderfully made lavendar white mocha is my guilty pleasure!
I love a good story. I believe that each of us is just that…a walking talking story, and I am so blessed to get to share in your story as we capture memories for you and your loved ones to cherish. Want to remember something from this chapter in your story? I am happy to help!
Tacoma, Washington…and wherever else my camera takes me! 🙂

de beers urged to halt sale until they "fix our area"

This video speaks for itself, De Beers gets to mine the hell out of the West Coast and the local community is left with the mess.
"Halt the sale of De Beers operations until they fix our area", says the Cape West Coast community of Hondeklipbaai.
The imminent sale of De Beers' diamond mining operations on the Cape West Coast must be halted until full disclosure and proper consultation with all affected parties has taken place, says the community.
The Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) is expected to make a decision on the approval of the amended environmental management programme, and the transfer of mining rights to Trans Hex, within weeks. The community launched an awareness campaign this week, to urge DMR to postpone their decision.
Speaking at a media briefing in Cape Town, Hondeklipbaai community leader Dawid Markus said the sale

relief for south africa's pigs in sight

Sow stalls are to give way to group housing on deep litter.
Sow stalls for breeding pigs are likely to be phased-out in South Africa by 2020. Confirmation of the date of phase-out is anticipated by the end of November this year, Mr James Jenkinson, board member of the South African Pork Producers' Organisation (SAPPO) told Compassion in World Farming (South Africa) last week.
Sow stalls are narrow metal cages in which breeding sows are confined. They are so narrow that she cannot turn around and can only stand up or lie down with difficulty. Sow stalls are already illegal in Sweden and in the UK. From 2013, they will be illegal across the European Union and are also being phased out in some states in the US and in New Zealand and Australia.

beginners guide to home birth
Submitted by ConsciousBabe on Thu, 2011-10-06 10:49
'I can have my baby at home?'
In North American and ancient San Bushmen tradition, women would give birth squatting, sometimes held up by a lover or a friend.
'I think there is something in the human body that wants to give birth naturally,' Marianne Littlejohn, a local practising midwife with 25-years experience behind her, explains.
'Most people are just surprised to hear it's an option,' Ruth Ehrhardt, co-ordinator of Cape Town's Home Birth Gathering groups, explains. 'They ask questions like 'I can have my baby at home? Am I allowed to?' The answer is yes and yes.'
Ruth is also a practising Doula- a birth supporter - and currently studying to be a Midwife, who is a person trained in assisting prospective mothers with pregnancy and birth. She believes it to be important mothers have their baby where they feel most comfortable and safest.
Expecting and planning for home birth
Tatum Roche, 30 years old and 6 months pregnant with her first baby, hopes to be able to give birth at home in a birth pool, and in as natural way as possible.
'The reaction I get from most people when I tell them I plan to have this baby naturally and at home is 'What would you want to do that for? Are you crazy?'' she says. 'It would be nice if
shyann - my service dog, my life
Submitted by turbosprout on Tue, 2011-10-04 09:02
I received this moving email from a friend, Dawn Pilatowicz, who administers the Cape Town Community Exchange and relies on her "service dog", Shyann, to help her through her day. Read on to find out about Dawn's braveness and willingness to overcome, the amazing difference these animals make and how you can support the SA Guide Dogs Association.
Dear friends, family, colleagues and acquaintances,
Last year we raised a record R53,000 for S A Guide Dogs! Thank you thank you thank you.
What can we achieve this year? Why should you help Guide Dogs? Who are Dawn and Shyann?
Shyann is a service dog, from the 'S' litter of 2008. S A Guide Dogs breed their own puppies and each litter is given a letter of the alphabet. They then get 'puppy raisers' to name them, by submitting three name choices using the letter of the litter. Each name is unique and never repeated. The puppy raisers raise the dogs for a year and a half. The dogs then go to the training centre to be matched with a recipient and trained for that recipient's requirements, be it Guide dog for the blind, or Service dog for the disabled. At around 2 years old, the dogs are shipped off, to be trained with their new owners. These new owners then have to commit to their dogs for the rest of the dog's life. Guide Dogs keep a watchful eye on their dogs: via monthly reports from the owners, regular vet visits, and frequent visits from the trainers. If there are any issues with a dog, Guide Dogs are there to help.
My life changed completely in January 2010 when Shyann came into my life. I applied for her a year before I got her, never knowing quite what I was getting myself into. Because of Shyann, I am out and about in my neighbourhood every day. I have met

It was a cold and cloudy Sunday on which environmental activists got their groove on in Hatfield, Pretoria to shake up the people and move for the planet. What follows is an account by Kyla v de Westhuizen, who is part of the Project 90x2030 youth forum, Generation Earth member and Grade 12 learner at Holy Rosary School.
We started our rally outside the Hatfield Spur, where some bystanders and passers-by were unimpressed by our presence. We were called "hippies", and asked if we really thought we could make a difference. Many bystanders were curious, however, as to what was going on and we attracted many people off the side of the street.

The 350.org Moving Planet Parade in Cape Town on Saturday was fantastic. Noah and I helped out at the Project 90x2030 offices the weekend prior to the march so knew we weren't going to be the only ones showing up. But you're still nervous. What if only twenty of you pitch and you look a right banana? So it was cool to arrive at the Cape Town station forecourt and see a massive bunch of people there. Actually it was more like a throng than a bunch! Getting there was an interesting affair as we were travelling by wheelbarrow...

International Communications
- LAST REVIEWED: 09 January 2017
- LAST MODIFIED: 24 May 2017
- DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780199756841-0066
- LAST REVIEWED: 09 January 2017
- LAST MODIFIED: 24 May 2017
- DOI: 10.1093/obo/9780199756841-0066
International communications is an extremely broad, interdisciplinary topic. To master communications, experts must have at least some knowledge of engineering, computer science, politics, economics, sociology, anthropology, business, law, and public policy plus in-depth expertise on two or three of these topics. To master international communications, experts need the same wide-ranging knowledge for several countries or regions. Tackling this topic requires choices on what to include and what to exclude. Most of the citations annotated in this article come from a political economy perspective, with a strong historical, theoretical, policy, and governance flavor. These articles focus on information and communication technologies in terms of content that flows across borders, infrastructure and networks that span continents, and software that ties everything together plus their consequences, regulation, and governance. Also included are issue-based sections, each of which contains seven or eight important items to introduce readers to key issues. These are (1) Big Data, broadband, mobility, and networking (but not net neutrality); (2) the Cloud; (3) cybersecurity and privacy, but not cyberwar; (4) freedom, democracy, and human rights; (5) development and the digital divide; (6) innovation and disruption, (7) intellectual property and the Commons; (8) the Internet and the web; (9) global media; (10) policy and regulation; and (11) governance and institutions. Academic centers, conferences, international organizations, journals and blogs, nongovernmental organizations, regulators, and data sources that deal with important aspects of international communications are also noted. Web links are provided when available to allow readers to find and often download the books and articles cited here. This article does not attempt to cover intercultural, interpersonal, or mass communications and intentionally has little information about dealing with media and comparative media systems. International public relations and corporate communications are also excluded. Further, this article does not focus on commercial or technical issues related to international communications, such as standard setting, spectrum allocation, and satellite communications. Finally, national and comparative communications studies are not included here, with rare exceptions.
General Overviews
General overviews relevant to international communications include the following sources. The classic works Schiller 1992 and Innis 2007 explore the role of communications media in the formation of empire. McPhail 2010 provides an overview of international communications. The Castells 2000–2004 trilogy covers the transformation of the information age that accompanied the rise of networks and the changing relationship between communication and power. Global media is not stressed in this compendium, but a basic overview of key issues can be found in the following references. Chapman 2005 covers comparative media history. Starr 2004 masterfully shows the evolution of American media and journalism up to 1945. Taylor 1997 traces the increasing involvement of the media in international affairs.
Castells, Manuel. 2000–2004. The information age: Economy, society, culture. 2d ed. 3 vols. Malden, MA: Blackwell.
Few seminal works on communication are available and fewer still on international communication. Of these, Castells's three-volume masterwork soars above the rest. Even a decade after the second editions, his insights about the economic, social, and cultural transformations that unfolded and continue to unfold in the new age of information provide insights on every page. Read The Information Age. Revel in it. Ponder it.
Chapman, Jane. 2005. Comparative media history: An introduction; 1789 to the present. Cambridge, UK: Polity.
In the tradition of Briggs and Burke's Social History of the Media (3d ed., Cambridge, UK: Polity, 2010), Chapman compares media developments across the centuries and continents to show how today's international media institutions evolved from past historical traditions. This is a clearly written, excellent textbook for media students.
Innis, Harold A. 2007. Empire and communication. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield.
Innis surveys how communications media influenced the rise and fall of empires from ancient times to the mid-20th century, arguing that each media was biased in space or time. Media that emphasize time were durable (parchment, clay, and stone) and often led to decentralization. Less durable media that emphasize space (papyrus and paper) usually favor large, centralized administrations. To endure, empires needed to strike a balance.
McPhail, Thomas. 2010. Global communication: Theories, stakeholders, and trends. 3d ed. Malden, MA: Wiley-Blackwell.
McPhail provides an overview that serves as a handy textbook focusing on issues, stakeholders, and institutions in international communication. Each addition is updated with new articles. The third edition also contains chapters by Nancy Snow ("Public Diplomacy"), Alex Robertson ("Euromedia"), Lawrence Pintak ("Arab Media and the Al-Jazeera Effect"), and Junhao Hong ("Media Globalization in Asia").
Schiller, Herbert I. 1992. Mass communications and American empire. 2d ed. Boulder, CO: Westview.
Originally published in 1969 (New York: A. M. Kelley), Schiller critically examines the structure and policy of US mass communications in relation to their most important economic and political functions. He stresses the private takeover of public space and public institutions at home and US corporate domination of cultural life abroad, especially in the developing nations.
Starr, Paul. 2004. The creation of the media: Political origins of modern communication. New York: Basic Books.
Starr provides a sweeping history of the evolution of American media from America's founding to World War II. The narrative begins with the postal services and then moves to newspapers, telegraph, telephone, radio, movies, and television. Starr explores how political, economic, and cultural forces shaped modern communications and society. He saves space to examine press censorship and freedom, intellectual property rights, and issues related to the concentration of media ownership.
Taylor, Philip M. 1997. Global communications, international affairs and the media since 1945. London: Routledge.
Taylor shows the increased involvement of the media in issues of peace and especially war since the 19th century. He investigates how communications work within the international arena and how communications interact with foreign policy in practice. Building on evidence from the Gulf War and Vietnam, Taylor discusses current problems of reporting within a comprehensive historical context.

Major Automotive Installations in Kenvil NJ and Peterbilt is pleased to present a brand-new, ergonomic column-mounted shifter on the Models 579 and also 567. The column-mounted shifter will be standard on trucks outfitted with the automated PACCAR Transmission as well as those outfitted with Eaton Advantage as well as Ultra Change AMTs.
The brand-new shifter, located on the right-hand side of the guiding column, includes a multi-mode design and enables control of all transmission and engine brake features, including gear choice, engine brake mode and also guidebook changing. The column-mounted shifter places regulates at the chauffeur's finger pointers, minimizing interruptions and allowing a raised focus on road problems and bordering web traffic.
" The column-mounted shifter takes the ergonomics of the Versions 579 and 567 to a brand-new degree," stated Scott Newhouse, Peterbilt Principal Engineer. "The column-mounted shifter was made based upon in-depth research studies of driver behavior and comfort designs. This new design also permitted us to improve on the functionality of our dash by getting rid of engine brake control changes."
The column-mounted shifter will be available on Versions 579 as well as 567 bought with automated transmissions starting in October 2017.
With the implementation of the column-mounted bar, a new-design pinch valve situated on the dashboard changed the typical lever for trailer brake activation, considerably boosting control during coupling and uncoupling maneuvers.

Link and node analysis charts language survival
Model examines the interplay between the use of a language and the preference or attitude of the speakers towards it
Bilingual speakers play an important role in language survival, according to the results of a new study published in the New Journal of Physics. The work – performed by researchers from the Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex Systems, IFISC (UIB-CSIC), in Spain – considers the competition between two socially equivalent languages, and their probability of survival depending on the number of speakers.
The model, which is based on a network of 'node' and 'link' states, accounts for both language preference and language use, as well as their coupled evolution. It represents language not just as a means of communication, but also as a property of the speakers themselves – shining a light on attributes such as cultural identity.
"One of the main advantages of this approach is that bilingualism appears as the natural consequence of individuals using different languages in different interactions," said team member Adrián Carro, now based at the University of Oxford, UK.
The asymptotic configurations from the model can be divided into three categories: frozen extinction of one of the languages; frozen coexistence of both languages; and dynamically trapped coexistence of both languages. Moreover, for a sufficiently large population, coexistence can survive in the form of non-trivial dynamical states.
Where both languages are shown to co-exist, the researchers find a high proportion of bilingual speakers – often arranged in triangular networks, which are considered to represent small groups of friends or strongly interacting individuals.
"These groups exhibit a strong preference for the minority language, and use it for their intra-group interactions, while they switch to the predominant language for communications with the rest of the population," said Carro.
As the population rises – in terms of the parameters of the model – the probability of language extinction is reduced. "For a population of 8,000 speakers, the probability of extinction has already dropped to around 3 per cent," Carro said.
Language competition is not the only 'complex system' that can be investigated using this approach. The methodology applied by the team – a coevolution of node and link states – could also benefit the study of trust, or ally versus enemy relationships, as well as the coupled dynamics of trade and economic growth.
Full details of the work can be found in the latest issue of the New Journal of Physics.

Syria War
Following the Korean War, administrations of the developing American Empire with its military industrial complex and Federal Reserve financing with taxpayer money stopped bothering to get Constitutional declarations of war.
After bypassing Congress, recent administrations have felt they at least needed some sort of United Nations or NATO consensus for an attack.
That's old history. Now the Empire believes it needs neither Congress (conveniently on recess) nor the United Nations (in a new interview Colin Powell says it was Cheney who decided the U.N. was not necessary for the Iraq War).
And now the Empire believes it no longer needs any kind of public support. Yesterday's poll shows only 9% of Americans would support a U.S. strike in Syria.
Only the NY Federal Reserve Bank is the necessary ingredient for war.
The core of America's crisis – domestically and internationally - is a private bank printing and controlling her medium of exchange for the sole benefit of its owners and their friends. If the Federal Reserve survives, America as we know her dies.
Here are two stories, back to back, that explain what is happening in America:
Pentagon Prepping for 'Large Scale Economic Breakdown' | Storyleak August 26th, 2013
High level government documents reveal that the Pentagon is preparing in full force for 'large scale economic meltdown' and massive revolt via the US public — exactly what we are criticized for doing.
You see the Pentagon and agencies like the Department of Defense (DoD) are in full scale emergency readiness in their own words for 'cataclysmic' events that are believed to ultimately ignite riots in the face of chaos and economic collapse, and it's all out in the open. And it's one of the reasons that we're seeing such a massive amount of spying on activists of all kinds, alternative news writers and personalities, and basically anyone preparing for themselves. …
Collapse predictions have turned into 'war games' by the Pentagon, which in 2010 were orchestrated to prepare for what the Pentagon dubbed 'large scale economic breakdown' and the disappearance of essential services like food… in order to prepare for 'domestic order amid civil unrest'. …
AND…this story, about how "financial services companies have become global merchants that seek to extract rent from any commercial or financial business activity …"
The Leveraged Buyout of America
Giant bank holding companies now own airports, toll roads, and ports; control power plants; and store and hoard vast quantities of commodities of all sorts. They are systematically buying up or gaining control of the essential lifelines of the economy. How have they pulled this off, and where have they gotten the money?
by Ellen Brown August 26, 2013
...According to legal scholar Saule Omarova, over the past five years, there has been a "quiet transformation of U.S. financial holding companies." These financial services companies have become global merchants that seek to extract rent from any commercial or financial business activity within their reach. They have used legal authority in Graham-Leach-Bliley to subvert the "foundational principle of separation of banking from commerce". . . .
It seems like there is a significant macro-economic risk in having a massive entity like, say JP Morgan, both issuing credit cards and mortgages, managing municipal bond offerings, selling gasoline and electric power, running large oil tankers, trading derivatives, and owning and operating airports, in multiple countries.
A "macro" risk indeed – not just to our economy but to our democracy and our individual and national sovereignty. Giant banks are buying up our country's infrastructure – the power and supply chains that are vital to the economy. Aren't there rules against that? And where are the banks getting the money?
How Banks Launder Money Through the Repo Market
In an illuminating series of articles on Seeking Alpha titled "Repoed!", Colin Lokey argues that the investment arms of large Wall Street banks are using their "excess" deposits – the excess of deposits over loans – as collateral for borrowing in the repo market. Repos, or "repurchase agreements," are used to raise short-term capital. Securities are sold to investors overnight and repurchased the next day, usually day after day.
The deposit-to-loan gap for all US banks is now about $2 trillion, and nearly half of this gap is in Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo alone. It seems that the largest banks are using the majority of their deposits (along with the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing dollars) not to back loans to individuals and businesses but to borrow for their own trading. Buying assets with borrowed money is called a "leveraged buyout." The banks are leveraging our money to buy up ports, airports, toll roads, power, and massive stores of commodities. ���

Teaching adults with autism is a complex subject. Because every individual with autism is different, you must tailor your instruction to the needs of each person. Some adults might have had straight As in school, but can't remember to brush their teeth. Other adults might not be able to speak, but can learn daily routines and schedules. By focusing on goals, breaking down tasks into individual steps, and providing verbal, visual and tactile instruction, you can teach the functional skills that adults with autism need for more independent living.
Providing a Learning Environment
If you are providing classroom instruction or private sessions, or if you're a caregiver or parent of an adult with autism, there are some general guidelines to follow when teaching adults with autism. One major point to address is the adult's learning style and what you can do to minimize distractions and improve conditions for learning. For example, Temple Grandin, a professor at Colorado State University -- who also has autism – states that loud noises and fluorescent lights can be distracting for individuals with autism. She suggests using light from windows to avoid fluorescent light, and putting down a carpet or rug to avoid noise from chairs being pushed across the floor. Grandin also mentions different learning styles. For example, some students can sing better than they speak, so singing instructions might improve a response from an adult with autism. Other people with autism are visual learners, so demonstrating actions or using pictures will improve learning words and their meanings.
Teaching Functional Skills
As a child with autism transitions to adulthood, instruction becomes less about academic, conceptual learning and more about teaching daily life skills that are immediately helpful and practical, according to Autism Beacon. These skills are meant to increase independence for an adult with autism, and they include basic self-help skills, such as getting dressed, hygiene, toileting and grooming. To teach these skills, pick one or two tasks to focus on at a time. To teach bathing, for example, first give direct instructions for removing clothing and turning on the water in the shower. Once the adult masters those skills, add more steps of the bathing process. Continue to raise expectations until the adult can carry out the task on his own. Move on to focus on another functional skill.
Teaching High-Functioning Adults
Adults who might have average or above average IQs might not remember how to set an alarm clock or organize a workspace. While these adults might be able to speak and write, they might also have difficulty understanding abstract concepts or complex verbal directions. To teach these adults, you need to focus on skills or academic ideas you want them to learn, but you should break each item down into concrete steps and directions. If an adult with autism doesn't seem to understand a direction, try rephrasing the question or comment. Use short sentences and avoid idioms and sarcasm. Be as concrete as possible. For example, if you observe an inappropriate behavior, don't remark, "Why did you do that?" Instead, say, "I do not like how you yelled out the answer without raising your hand. Please raise your hand before speaking."
Assisting Non-Verbal Adults
Other adults on the autism spectrum might not have higher-functioning skills, and they might even be non-verbal. In these cases, you must find ways the adult can learn. Grandin mentions many non-verbal adults cannot handle visual and auditory input at the same time. To address this issue, focus on either a visual or auditory task. Grandin also mentions non-verbal adults learn better through a sense of touch. For example, teach letters by encouraging students to touch plastic letters. Get adults ready for a transition in their schedule by letting them feel an object, such as a spoon to indicate it is nearly time for lunch.

By Castoffs Youth Theatre
(Photographs by Nicola Harding)
A group of 12 young people from Rotherham Integrated Youth Support Service have developed and produced a series of lion masks for a performance, depicting the Black African farmers and the nomadic Arabs of Darfur, Sudan where conflict has raged for many years – resulting in genocide and destruction of territory. At the centre of this is the story of Abdulsalam Abdullah- a man who carried the flame of hope in his heart.
The young people will perform the story on the 28th January 2016, at the Rotherham Town Hall HMD event.
You can read Abdulsalam's life story here.
This artwork was commissioned by Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.
Rotherham Integrated Youth Support Service (part of RMBC) works with young people aged 11-25 on a variety of levels:1-1 support, group work, detached youth work and project work.
The Partnership and Development Team has a borough-wide remit to work with vulnerable young people who are disabled, identify as LGBT, are looked after or have additional needs.
Much of the focus of our work is equalities, project and creative arts-based.
Vicky Hilton (freelance visual artist) – Vicky developed the idea, after speaking to the young people and convened the weekly art sessions for the young people who worked on the art project.
Carly Clarke has developed the drama which will use the mask to tell the story of Abdulsalam Abdullah and the plight of the people of Darfur.

Black Girls: A Comparative Analysis of Self-Perception and Achievement by Race, Sex and Socioeconomic Background. Report No. 271.
Hare, Bruce R.
This report focuses on the self-perception and academic achievement of fifth grade black girls as compared to black boys and white girls. Comparisons are made along different dimensions of self-esteem (general, school, peer, and home), and on self-concept of ability, achievement orientation, general anxiety, locus of control, importance of social abilities, and performance on standardized reading and math achievement tests. Findings indicate that black girls occupy a psychological and academic middle ground compared to the other groups. For example, white girls had higher reading and math test scores than black girls, but black girls had higher test scores than black boys. Black girls also had higher achievement orientation scores and a trend toward higher school self-esteem than black boys. Black boys scored higher on the non-academic dimensions of importance of social abilities and peer self-esteem. In addition, black girls were shown to share some sex-related characteristics with white girls, such as higher anxiety and greater independence than their male counterparts. It is concluded that the presence of sex differences among black children is in need of further study. (Author/EB)

GoPro HERO2 to get CineStyle color profile
At the NAB show, GoPro and CineStyle have announced the forthcoming release of a CineStyle color profile for the GoPro HERO2. This will be available via a free firmware update called the Protune and will include the following features: 24fps frame rate, 35Mbps data rate, neutral color profile, log curve encoding and reduced sharpening and noise reduction. This new firmware is intended to allow the HERO2 to integrate into professional workflows which will typically use material from a variety of sources.
The Protune update will be available "in the summer" and will be free for HERO2 owners.
GoPro Partners with Technicolor to Incorporate CineStyle™ into GoPro's new Protune™ Firmware for HD HERO2 at NAB 2012
Technicolor-Certified ProTune Mode Adds 24p, 35Mbps Data Rate; Non-Destructive 3D LUT and Color Presets to Greatly Enable Professional Production Workflow
HALF MOON BAY, CA & HOLLYWOOD, CA, – (April 17, 2012) – GoPro, the world's most versatile camera, and Technicolor, a worldwide leader in technology and color-science, announced today at the NAB 2012 Show in Las Vegas they have worked to embed Technicolor's CineStyle™ color profile for the debut of the new GoPro Protune™ (a free firmware upgrade available for the HD HERO2 camera, available this summer).
Certified by Technicolor, and developed by GoPro, the Protune mode firmware upgrade is a significant development for the professional production and post-production market, which incorporates Technicolor color science into GoPro's latest product launch. These new features combine to allow professional filmmakers a vastly improved and flexible workflow for seamless integration with other source material and post-production platforms.
Key features of the GoPro Protune mode include:
24fps frame rate, enabling GoPro HERO2 content to be easily intercut with other sources without a frame rate conversion;
35Mbps data rate for the industry's highest quality compressed image with virtually zero artifacts;
Neutral color profile, allowing for greater flexibility in a color correction workflow;
Log curve encoding, offering more detail in shadows and highlights;
Reduced sharpening and noise reduction for improved flexibility in professional post- production and color design workflows.
"GoPro Protune mode is an extraordinary development for the entire professional production market – from filmmakers, cinematographers and DITs, to editors and colorists who are increasingly relying on the HERO2 for cinematic productions," said David Newman, senior director of software engineering for GoPro. "Developing this with Technicolor has provided us with a level of technological expertise that optimizes Protune for the professional market. Filmmakers are making critical decisions every day on the tools they'll invest in for their cinematic productions, and we are confident our collaboration with Technicolor makes their decision that much easier. We're looking forward to our customers' reaction when we unveil Protune at NAB 2012."
"Technicolor is thrilled to make its color science available to GoPro throughout its Protune upgraded firmware," stated Technicolor's Alejandro Guerrero, senior vice president, Technicolor Digital Productions. "With more than 130,000 (and counting) cinematographers already using our CineStyle color profile, we are committed to expanding the CineStyle toolkit and are thrilled to support GoPro as it expands its market base."
Seamless Integration with GoPro CineForm Studio
GoPro Protune mode makes integration with GoPro CineForm Studio simple, automatically detecting Protune settings and applying the default adjustments to create stunning images. The workflow is further enhanced by a variety of color tuning presets, or 'looks' that further enhance the filmmakers' story.
Using Protune with GoPro CineForm Studio Premium and GoPro CineForm Studio Professional provides additional benefits, offering extensive color correction controls and customizable presets to create professional, cinematic looks from the GoPro HERO2 captured content. Non-destructive 3D LUTs provide even more flexibility, enabling users to further tweak their images, manipulate saturation and contrast and color correction controls to create highly stylized content.
GoPro Protune mode is available as a free firmware upgrade through the GoPro CineForm Studio software, which is also available as a free download here.

Inscriptions from the tomb of PetOsiris (from: Christian Jacq, "The living wisdom of ancient Egypt")
Oh my twice-great master Thoth,
The Only One,
Who has no equal,
Who sees and hears whoever passes,
Who knows whoever comes,
With the knowledge of everything that happens!
You have made my heart walk upon your waters,
He who walks on your road will never stumble.
Oh people living on this Earth,
And those yet to be born,
You who come to this mountain,
You who see this tomb and pass by it.
Come, I will guide you on the Road of Life,
You will sail with a favorable wind, without accidents,
And you will arrive at the abode of the City of Generations.
The road of the man who obeys God is straight,
Happy is he whose heart urges him to follow it!
(p. 42)
To walk on the road of God is to be filled with light,
Great are the advantages gained by those who
Discipline themselves to follow it.
It's a monument raised by them on this Earth,
Those who follow the Paths of God,
Those who cling to the Ways of God,
Spend all their lives in joy,
Gathering riches without equal.
Thoth, the God of Knowledge, rewards every act according to its own merit.
As you act so shall you be treated.
To speak a good word is to build a monument.
Happiness is to be found in observing righteousness (Maat).
The West is the dwelling place for he who has not transgressed the Rule.
Happy is who reaches there!
Nobody can reach there unless
Their hearts have conformed exactly to the Rule.
Down there there is no distinction between rich and poor,
Unless it is in the favour of he who is found to be righteous
When weighted in the scales of justice before the master of Eternity.
— Quoted from: Christian Jacq, "The living wisdom of ancient Egypt"
