Sir John Vickers, the former Bank of England interest rate setter who chaired the commission, said the proposals in the report: "Will partly affect the profitability of banks, it will partly affect the remuneration of those who work for banks, and it will partly affect the costs to final customers and consumers."
British banks will have to separate their retail deposit and investment banking arms to ensure that ordinary savers' money is not at risk in the event of a new crisis, the interim report published today recommended.
The commission, set up to investigate the role of banking in the global financial crisis, also wants to introduce measures to force future losses on bank bondholders
The country's largest banks were warned that their arguments for moving abroad do not add up and were told to "pay very very careful attention" to the implications of relocating to another country.
Speaking after the publication of the Independent Commission on Banking's interim report, Sir John scoffed at the idea that many large banks would simply leave the UK.
He cautioned that banks looking at "hopping jurisdictions" would have to think about how their actions would look to their customers.
"Any board contemplating moving would need to pay very careful attention," said Sir John, adding that banks would face "several issues" if they chose to leave the UK.
Clare Spottiswoode, the former gas regulator and a member of the Commission, said she thought many depositors would be worried about the implications for their savings if a bank left the UK potentially leaving them uncovered by the Government's insurance scheme.
Sir John said the report would make sure taxpayers were "off the hook" if a bank got into trouble in future and would create a system for "safe failure".
As part of the proposals put forward by the Commission, large banks will be required to maintain a minimum equity capital base of 10pc - or £10 of shareholder equity for every £100 lent out. Well above the 7pc level required by the Basel III rules introduced last year.
The report also addresses the need for more competition in the UK retail banking market. Lloyds Banking Group, Britain's largest retail bank, would be required to dispose of more of its branches if the Commission's recommendations were enacted.
Measures to make it easier to switch banks are supported by the Commission, which said these could be implemented at "reasonable cost".
The Commission also called on the Government to ensure that the new Financial Conduct Authority acts as a "spur" to greater competition in the banking industry.
Lloyds Banking Group criticised the proposals. Win Bischoff, the chairman of Lloyds, said: "The board and I ... share the management team's surprise at the prescriptive nature of the interim report's recommendation to expand the divestment beyond what had been agreed, which is not in the best interest of our customers."
Antonio Horta-Osorio, the chief executive, said the recommendation "may paradoxically potentially delay a new competitor coming into the UK market".
George Osborne, the Chancellor, said in an interview with BBC News: "I think it's a very good piece of work. I think the decision that we took to set up the commision has been vindicated."
He welcomed "the excellent analysis in this interim report" and said he looked forward to receiving the final report later this year. Their fears of not being able to transfer capital and liquidity between retail arms and investment banking business have not been realised under current proposals, he said.
Bank analyst Bruce Packard, at Seymour Pierce, said he expects banks to be "secretly pleased" at the proposals. Banks shares rose strong at the start of trading in London. By lunchtime Barclays was 3.2pc and Royal Bank of Scotland 2.4pc, but Lloyds was down 0.1pc was being up 1.5pc at one stage.
The British Bankers' Association said the report contained "a number of very significant options" and it would "take time to carefully consider the costs involved and the economic impact on the wider economy".
"The banking community remains committed to supporting the twin aims of ensuring financial stability and supporting economic recovery, and is committed to ensuring the taxpayer is repaid for support of the banking system," said the BBA.
The ICB said in the report: "Separation between retail banking and wholesale and investment banking could take various forms, depending on where and how sharply the line is drawn.
"The Commission is ... considering forms of retail ring-fencing under which retail banking operations would be carried out by a separate subsidiary within a wider group."
Credit Suisse has estimated Britain's biggest banks will need to raise £15bn over the next two years to meet the requirements, likely to be adopted by regulators as part of the Basel III banking rules.
The money could be raised by limiting payments to shareholders and staff through lower dividends and bonuses.
Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, said he "warmly welcomed" the interim report, saying it confirmed that the "status quo is untenable".
"It is based on the insight that many people share, which is that it is not right to have very high risk and very low risk banking activities so intertwined so that when something goes wrong it is the taxpayer that picks up the bill," the Liberal Democrat leader told Today.
"All that is absolutely crucial is that the banking system must be made not only competitive but also safe."
The final report will be published in the autumn.
Speaking during a Scottish election campaign visit to East Kilbride, near Glasgow, Ed Balls, the shadow Chancellor, said: "We can't have a repeat of the global finance crisis that has caused so much suffering for families and for businesses. We can't have the taxpayer bailing out the global operations of investment banks."
He said protecting retail banks is the "right proposal", and added: "If we're really going to make progress on this, we've also got to make sure that there's an international agreement on investment banking.

Why the IIA is not the best forum for Government Feedback
Minister of State Sean Sherlock has recently published "A Copyright and Innovation White Paper" its a big read at 182 pages and I have only skimmed it. At the same time he then tweeted:
The IIA in turn posted a statement on their website which outlined my key concerns with using an "Industry body" to collate feedback for an issue that will have widespread societal impact. Specifically:
This will allow the IIA to collate the views of its members and enable us to comprehensively represent their concerns and ideas to Government and input into this important legislation.
So its first priority is to collate the views of its members, which is right and proper. The IIA is a society of its members that as far as I know does not purport to represent the views of those segments of the industry who are not members.
The IIA then goes on to say:
Non-members are welcome to submit their comments using this survey tool. However, comments by non-members will be passed un-collated and un-filtered to the department as it would not be in the best interests of our members to use IIA resources in working for non-members. I believe this methodology strikes the right balance of being inclusive and facilitative whilst prioritising our member's needs as we are charged to do. Allowing the widest stakeholder feedback is quite simply in the spirit of the community. Stakeholders are not limited to using this tool but it is open to everyone.
They are upfront about this, the IIA is about its members.
So where is the forum for feedback for non-members of the IIA? I don't want my feedback refracted through a third party organisation. Nor do I want to be treated as a second class citizen because I have no business being a member of the IIA. Stakeholders are not limited to this tool, but where are the other tools?
What priority is the minister likely to place on IIA feedback vs feedback from other sources? No one can tell at this point. But we can infer from his behaviour on the SOPA Ireland issue that feedback and decisions how to proceed are likely to be made behind closed doors.
Can I suggest that a more open forum for Feedback would be for the minister to set up a Facebook page to which anyone can post public commentary, an email address to which private commentary can be posted and his own survey (again trivial to setup on a site like PollDaddy).
All this feedback should be published "in the raw" including back-channel input from various industry bodies who use "other channels" to reach the minister. Lets shed a little sunlight on the process.
I would be happy to do this work for no charge in order to facilitate an open feedback process.
15 Responses
Fair point Joe … the IIA has about 300 members. If say 10% of them fill out the survey (and that might be a generous response rate as it sounds like it will be a whooper of a questionnaire) then that's a lot of emphasis being given to the opinions of 30 people.
I'm trying to keep an open mind about it but I'm skeptical about how much the government actually cares about what people think, and how much this 'consultation' is sugarcoating and optics.
Given that they dismissed the opinions of 80,000+ people as 'keyboard warriors' who should 'call off the dogs' it seems like a pretty devious tactic to ask for the opinions of IIA members and then say 'well, we did ask the industry'
The IIA, like you said, doesn't represent the web industry, just that small part of it that pays to be a member. (Same way the golden spiders represent the best of the industry that pays to win an award. err I mean pays to enter.)
Yes, yes, yes. It seems that Mr. Sherlock is more bothered with posturing than real engagement. I hope the IIA told him that it was silly of them to moderate a public discussion.
Agree with what you're saying Joe; I think the IIA is inappropriate here but fear that the horse is bolted, and the government is doing a bit of window dressing. Like Stu mentioned, they've just ignored the voice of people on this already.
Good post Joe! +1 from me.
This issue greatly impacts the "non-industry", end-user, citizens of this country, and they need a voice. The IIA, being an industry body, is not appropriate.
If you read the consultation document all the details on making a submission are there, along with details of the public meetings. I for one would be delighted to see multiple submissions from as many separate sources as possible.
From the IIA's statements its clear that they intend to represt their members, but are happy to forward any submissions that non members want to make; I wouldnt expect any more of them that that. I honestly believe that the IIA have no desire to be the "piggy in the middle here". Yes they are obliged to represent the interests of their members and make a submission on their behalf but I think Mr Sherlock is using the IIA as an easy target here to minimise the amount of crap he has to deal with personally by suggesting people go through them. Its easy for him to single them out since recently they did organise industry representation on the #sopaireland issue and I guess since they organised meetings and interactions that didnt involve rabid individuals foaming at the mouth he's trying to fob it all off on them again.
In the end when you read the consultative document its clear that the IIA have been given no official role in this, all submissions still have to be directed to the consultative body itself so Sean Sherlock pointing people their way is clearly a deflection. If the IIA had had any secret backroom dealing or struck any sort of arrangement regarding being an official "moderator" then the consultative document would outline that. I've read and engaged with many such documents over the years and in any cases where IBEC or any industry body have an "official" role, its clearly outlined.
In the end, Minister Sherlock is hoping that by using the IIA as a body shield, he wont have to be front and centre with the debate and discussion. Our anger and frustration should be directed at him.
I would suggest that a Facebook page is not actually a vendor-neutral place… but I guess that ship has sailed 🙂
i know it was seansherlock who caused confusion by announcing something the IIA was going doing to but are people still confused by 'a' consultation vs 'the' consultation? there is consulation process in place and unlike sopaireland they published the submission to the first round of consultations.
it was terrible idea for iia to alllow sherlock to announce its own consultation, undermined it from the start
So basically Sean Sherlock wants the IIA to do his job for him ? Also introducing this tiered responses, i.e. IIA member versus non-IIA member doesn't seem like classifying comments equally.
I deal with internet policy matters on a regular basis.
The IIA are in a better position to hand over feedback than any other organisation out there – be that for member or non-members.
If you aren't a member and work in the digital industry in Ireland you should join. (It's not exactly expensive!)
As for Facebook etc – that's a really bad idea. A lot of people have taken to verbally abusing Sean Sherlock on Twitter, Facebook and other media. Verbal abuse does not help anyone and is not the kind of response that will lead to a meaningful and full review of the legislation
[…] "Minister of State Sean Sherlock has recently published 'A Copyright and Innovation White Paper' – it's a big read at 182 pages and I have only skimmed it …" (more) […]
And here is the Departments survey
off you go 🙂
Does that form break Data Protection Legislation by transferring my personal data (name and address) outside of EU jurisdiction and by giving no clear indication on what the data is to be used for. Oh for the love of, we can't even collate data about one aspect of legislation without falling foul of another.

Tip: Don't allow your budget to run your advertising campaign.
By AllBusiness.com
If you budget $5,000 per month for advertising, you've made it very easy from a bookkeeping perspective. However, if like most businesses you have seasonal highs and lows, you are spending too much money advertising during down times and not enough when you want to attract customers. Too many entrepreneurs do not budget according to their seasonal advertising needs.
When the economy is faltering, advertising is often the first thing in the marketing budget that gets cut. This is true whether it's the budget of Coca-Cola or the local car wash. But before you make the decision to scale back or cancel your advertising campaign altogether, consider the following tips.
Now Is the Time to Bargain
If you are hurting, rest assured -- so are the local newspaper, TV station, and radio station. Now is a perfect time to bargain for ad space, both in price and position. In most cases the more advertising space you buy, the more it is discounted. So if you're a landscaper and you're looking to place seasonal ads twice a week in your local newspaper for six months, ask for the 12-month price. The economy will go back up again and advertising prices will rise, so see what you can do to lock in the prices for the long term.
Ask for Premium Placement
If you're placing an ad in a magazine, ask which "premium" pages are open and see if you can get those at a discount. Premium pages include the inside front cover, the centerfold, the back cover, and the "front of book," which means the first third of the publication. On radio, the premium placement is rush hour. On television, it's the 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. "prime time" slot. But more important is to advertise when and where it makes sense for your business. If you offer tax services to small businesses, check into the costs of a "sponsorship" during a public radio station's "marketplace" show. If you own a sports store, make sure your ad is in the sports section of the newspaper or runs during the sports segment of your local news. Haggle. Haggle. Haggle.
Build Your Brand
In a recession you can count on your competitors cutting back their own marketing and advertising. This gives you the perfect opportunity to build your brand by ramping up your own. Are you the leading spa in town? If not, now is your chance. Does your bakery make the best cinnamon buns in the state? Now is the time to let people know. Who knows, you may be the only spa or bakery advertising. What's more, with advertising being down overall, there is less clutter and more opportunity to get your message across.
Bargain for Sponsorships
Sponsorship is a creative and often cost-effective way of marketing your product or service, particularly locally. Often sponsorship sales decline even more rapidly than ad space sales during a downturn in the market. Is there a trade show, golf tournament, or concert series you've been locked out of because your competitor always sponsors? If so, take the time to check if the sponsorship is available now. If it is, bargain for it, whether you ask for a reduction in price or an increase in benefits. And make sure you have a clause in your contract that allows you first right of refusal on future events. But if sponsoring the city's premier golf tournament is too costly, don't underestimate the value of sponsoring a team for Little League or soccer for $500 or so. That's a lot of adorable kids walking around town with your business's name on their backs.
Checklist: Strategies for Effective Advertising
By AllBusiness.com
1. Go after your target audience. It is a common mistake to create generic ads that do not speak the language or grab the attention of your potential customers.
2. Highlight your competitive advantage. Too many ads are clever but fail to sell the benefits of the product or service.
3. Establish an image. Too many advertisers do not work to build a consistent image.
4. You have to spend money to make money. There are ways to save money, but typically advertising is not the place to cut corners.
5. Advertise in the right places. Your favorite magazine, radio station, or even television program might not be a favorite of your audience.

In an unprecedented move, The French Ticklers have taken 6 defensive backs in the 2039 FOFL draft. In the last pick of the first round, the Ticklers selected S Melvin Alston from Louisiana-Monroe. Two picks later at 2-2 the Ticklers tapped Western Kentucky's S Matt Elliott. At the end of the third round French selected Mississippi's S Jorge Dingle. Pausing a round to take an offensive player the Ticklers returned to action taking CBs Nick Schroeder (Buffalo), Leslie Carlisle (Weber), and Shaun Perry (Michigan) In the 5th and 6th rounds.
New Head Coach Daniel Beaton made it known in the locker room that he would not tolerate mediocrity in the defensive backfield. "We have an explosive offense and a great pass rush. There is no reason for the secondary to struggle so much. "
Going into the draft the Ticklers were carrying 9 defensive backs, and expect to keep 9 into the season. "You do the math," quipped GM Fritz. "There will be some disappointed players after training camp, but we have to constantly improve."

Although the Kiwi kit is an exclusive to Joanns in the US, Scrapbookers Inner Circle was able to get the rights to distribute it internationally. When Becky Higgins announced the kit on Tuesday, Tammy announced it shortly afterwards, and she already had it in stock! I ordered it right away and it was at my door Friday afternoon.
Kiwi is also super fun and bright. I can't decide whether I like it or Strawberry better. They're definitely both some of my favourite kits. I forgot pictures of the bifolds – sorry!

The African National Congress has received with sadness the passing on of a passionate development activist and selfless servant of our people, Comrade Libby Loyd. Comrade Libby passed on yesterday, 18 January 2018, after a courageous battle against illness. Comrade Libby's passing is deep loss to the ANC and South Africa's Information Communication and Technology (ICT) Sector she was a transformative participant in.
Comrade Libby Loyd served, with commitment, selflessness and dignity, as a member of ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) Subcommittee on Communications. She was a journalist and professional in ICT sector who contributed enormously to the work of the movement from the days of Radio Freedom, training broadcasters in preparation for the new democratic dispensation to the Institute of the Advancement of Journalism (IAJ), the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) , the Media Development and Diversity Agency (MDDA), amongst others in a democratic South Africa. Her legacy is felt in ICT Policy and Regulatory framework guiding our country through her inputs.
The African National Congress sends its deepest condolences to the family of Comrade Libby Loyd. The South Africa ICT landscape and our revolutionary movement is, without a doubt, that much poorer for her passing.

today I found out, from Gloria, that coconut oil is 92% saturated fat and it increases cholesterol. Apparently all the benefits claimed for it, apart from tasting nice, are bunkum!
OK.. let me try to put this into perspective. If you dig a little deeper than Gloria you will find that all cause mortality from higher cholesterol drops dramatically for older people and you will realise that having higher chol is good rather than bad. Cholesterol is a wonderful substance that protects from cancer and all sorts. Rather than repeat stuff I refer you to http://diabetes-support.org.uk/diabetes_forum/index.php/topic,6060.0.html and http://diabetes-support.org.uk/diabetes_forum/index.php/topic,4349.0.htmlHowever, please open a further discussion on this subject because there are new studies that shed better light.

In Kim Kardashian's Hollywood, it's difficult to be embarrassingly overexposed.
Be that as it may, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have pulled it off.
The hubby and spouse — who are shilling their film "CHiPs" — have industry sorts choking over unending oversharing in meetings, spilling a reiteration of sound nibbles about their conjugal treatment, her breastfeeding issues, battles about furniture, Google looks for "killing my significant other," his bravery about coordinating exposed, stopping sugar, and more to "any media outlet that will tune in."

To the Editor:
Margaret O'Brien Steinfels's review of my book "A Place at the Table: The Gay Individual in American Society" (Dec. 12) seems so clearly to be informed by an intention to deal humanely and sensitively with the subject at hand, and is so generous in its praise of the book itself, that I am especially pained by her rejection of the metaphor of my title and her willingness, in the end, simply to reprise the familiar song about how treating gay people inequitably is good for "the family" -- a notion that I examine carefully, and ultimately reject, in my book.
Ms. Steinfels suggests that the main difference between gay and straight couples, and the one that legitimizes their unequal treatment, is the ability to procreate. But many straight couples are infertile or choose not to reproduce; many gay couples raise children. The law doesn't distinguish between fertile and infertile couples, or between couples with and without children; it draws a line between straight and gay.
Drawing that line doesn't help anyone -- it only causes harm. I can't help wondering how Ms. Steinfels, if confronted with the homosexuality of a child of her own, would explain to him exactly why the interests of the family, as an institution, require her to draw inequitable distinctions between his committed relationship and the marriages of his straight siblings or friends. I raise this question because many heterosexuals who recognize that those distinctions do nothing but harm to families came to this recognition only after learning that people very close to them were gay.
Of course, Ms. Steinfels is right: we don't all sit down as a nation at a common dinner table. But in millions of American families there are homosexuals, many of them closeted young people who, painfully alert to the distinctions their parents draw between straight and gay, spend years in unspoken (and needless) agony over their sexual orientation. No American mother can be entirely sure that such a young person is not dining each evening at her own table. A keen awareness of this reality, I believe, should inform every responsible-minded heterosexual's thinking about homosexuality and the interests of "the family."

Maryland will reform its largely unregulated process for appointing guardians of abused and neglected children even though the legislature is not forcing changes. The Baltimore Sun says that legislation requiring a thorough screening of any home where an abused child might be sent to live with a guardian died in a House committee. It was proposed after the case of Ciara Jobes, a 15-year-old Baltimore girl who was tortured to death in 2002, allegedly by a guardian who is accused of starving and whipping her.
Still, the state Department of Human Resources is rewriting its regulations so all prospective guardians would be screened, something that has not been done in the past. The screening would include a determination of the physical and mental fitness of the guardian, and certification that the home has passed a fire and safety inspection.
Police say Jobes' guardian, Satrina Roberts, savagely beat her, denied her food and locked her in an unfurnished and unheated room for months, forcing her to use a hole in the wall as a toilet. Roberts is charged with killing Ciara; she is seeking to be declared criminally not responsible because of mental illness.
The guardianship legislation died in the House because of the opposition of a group of state judges.

I can feel it. It's coming.
We sat on our deck last night. There was no wind, and the sky was clear and blue. The birds were singing in the pine trees above us, and in the ngaio trees below. Gershwin was lying in the sun, stretched out, basking in it. Cleo came along, jumped onto the bench beside me, in another quick movement onto the covered barbecue, and surveyed her empire. D and I had glasses of cool sauvignon blanc, enjoying that Friday night feeling.
Early summer. December is almost here. Christmas is coming. Our summer break is not far away. It's in the air. I can feel it.
The year is almost over. So we're going to start relaxing now.

There are some artists you simply cannot ignore. Straight from his smash seventh #1 hit single 'Blame', Worldwide chart champion and producer to the stars Calvin Harris has announced plans for his brand new album 'Motion'. As expected, the release will feature a myriad of remarkable, chart topping artists including Ellie Goulding, Gwen Stefani, Haim, Tinashe, Big Sean, Hurts, John Newman, Firebeatz and R3hab.
Calvin's world beating approach has been truly all-conquering on latest single 'Blame' with a number of Spotify world records smashed in one foul swoop. Most impressive? Well, the first UK artist to reach a billion streams is pretty impressive, and fastest artist to reach #1 in the Spotify chart and the first to reach 10 million plays on a track in a week is impressive also.
We all know what to expect from the record, and yet, we are still excited to hear how Mr Harris can twist and bend his winning formula to keep his music fresh and current.
The tracklist for 'Motion' is as follows:
01 - Faith
02 - Under Control (w/ Alesso Feat. Hurts)
03 - Blame (feat. John Newman)
04 - Love Now (feat. All About She)
05 - Slow Acid
06 - Outside (feat. Ellie Goulding)
07 - It Was You (w/ Firebeatz)
08 - Summer
09 - Overdrive (w/ Ummet Ozcan)
10 - Ecstacy (feat. Hurts)
11 - Pray To God (feat. Haim)
12 - Open Wide (feat. Big Sean)
13 - Together (feat. Gwen Stefani)
14 - Burnin (w/ R3hab)
15 - Dollar Signs (feat. Tinashe)

TransformWork is a visionary organization that promotes work based on (Self-)Love and (Self-)Care first and works as an umbrella for transformational workshops and retreats which are primarily oriented in providing the best experiential life changing and paradigm shifting experiences.
At the moment I work with several projects and I produce a bunch of transformational workshops, conscious events and retreats which are all scattered over different names and countries.
This is an organization Page to put them all in one place so you can get updates about every event I'm manifesting with amazing international teachers in the upcoming months.
I also share work of other powerful and transformative people all over the globe. These events are 100% approved by my experience and I guarantee their wickedness and transformative nature.
I'm nomadic, which means at the moment I don't have a constant living place, I move from city to city, country to country. This way aligns to my purpose at this point in life. This also gives me opportunity to share my work in different parts of the world. Very inspiring for myself! I'm grateful. You can invite me to your city, I'm pleased to share my work in places needed. Please contact me via email for that jura(at)juraglo.com
- If you want to co-create a paradigm shifting event, workshop and/or retreat, contact me. I'm open for new experiences and I love teaming-up.
- If you'd like to get my feedback of your practice, you can invite me to your event, workshop or retreat so I can see how we can work together and/or I can support you in your expansion in some ways that feels good for both of us.
- If you want to share your practice through this community page, please write me first. I'm a huge hypocrite-hippopotamus and am very selective over mindfulness work of others. Yes, my approach to work is radical and my integrity is to provide experiences that are truly transformational.
- If you'd like to get a private session with me, please make sure you know what you want and you can ask for it, and you are open and ready to take action that might change your life – your perception and life/workstyle.
I obtained my knowledge through direct experience and this is the kind of education and professionalism I'd like to support you in. DIY living.
I'm a social entrepreneur and a huge fan of gift economy. Which means that I value my time and energy and I evaluate it with money, which is often arbitrary and don't make sense. If you struggle to afford my workshops or retreats, contact me and we'll find a solution that feels good for both of us.
So far so much. I'm so excited to serve you from all my heart, except the times when I'm heartbroken or hurt in other ways. In those days I'm not available and your support to me is very appreciated :)
Much Love and fluffy Cuddles,
Jura Luna Glow

We pull up to the party. I can't believe these idiots are throwing water balloons in to the street, right next to the police officer directing traffic. Fourth of July is the busiest day of the year in our little town and these fools are drawing attention to a house full of drinking teenagers.
Kathy and I laugh about it – until sirens and lights surround the house.
That's exactly what we do. We run!
Kathy takes off across the school soccer field. I hear her shouting for me to follow her, but I don't. I head down a little alley, in between the school and the next house over.
I beg my feet to please run faster, praying I can make it to my house a few blocks away.
I said stop,right now!"
I know I'm busted. I stop in my tracks. My 15 year old self, is petrified.
The police officer walks me back to the…

God Bless the Broken Road by Jennifer Dornbush
A novelization of the upcoming film from the director of God's Not Dead, God Bless the Broken Road is a heartwarming story about a grieving army widow who finds her way back to her daughter, her faith, and a new love.
Amber Hill never imagined she would find herself a war widow and single mom. She feels robbed and is angry at God, and she doesn't know how to help her nine-year-old daughter Bree through her grief. Where, Amber wonders, are the Sunday dinners, the picnics, the bike rides, the time together they should be enjoying as a family? Instead, Amber is left with a folded flag and an empty heart.
Cody Jackson has a death wish. Or at least that is what his manager thinks, as Cody pushes his race car and his luck in every race. Is he hiding something, or just daring God and other racers to end the path of destruction he finds himself on as he rounds the last turn? When Cody encourages Bree to join in a Derby car race for local youth, she finds a way to channel her grief into something good—and she likes that her mom and Cody are starting to become friends—or maybe something more.
Cody invites Amber and Bree to see him race, but as they watch Cody narrowly escape a devastating crash, she realizes she can't lose another person in her life. It's better to be alone than feel that type of grief again. But when Amber hits rock-bottom, she cries out to God and asks for help. With her faith, her life, her family, and her heart hanging in the balance, Amber is forced to decide between the broken road she knows so well and trusting that God will provide a new path.
Based on the Rascal Flatts song, God Bless the Broken Road is a moving, heart-stirring story about the power of faith to change a life.
My Thoughts:
Amber had a broken heart, and she reacted by retreating into a world of loneliness and fear. She drove away all the people who desperately cared for her and her daughter Bree.
On the brink of losing everything, even her daughter, Amber must finally face some very difficult issues and make some hard decisions. She had to make a choice to trust again, and rebuild some very wounded relationships.
I love this story, and much of it resonated with my own heart. Loss of a loved one is so difficult to deal with, and it is even harder when we isolate ourselves from the ones who care the most.
This is a fantastic story that I highly recommend, and I can't wait to see the movie based on this book.

The control of materials elaboration is a strength of the SPMCE group. The extensive study of chemical composition variations in most materials (substitution, non-stoichiometry etc.) requires the optimization of synthesis, which is indeed a key step for accessing new properties. Both powder and crystal synthesis are actively developed in our group. The different techniques curently used are listed here :
These standard procedures are widely used, with the help of ball-mills and a wide range of tube and muffle furnaces operating up to 1800°C. Sample environement can be air, flowing oxygen or argon, as well as silica ampoules sealed under vacuum.
High pressure (up to 7 GPa) and high temperature (HP-HT) syntheses are used to stabilize specific phases that are inaccessible at ambient pressure. The systematic exploration of P,T phase diagrams allows to stabilize compounds with unusual valence states or coordination, leading to interesting physical properties. Our activity focuses on perovskite-type oxides with potential multiferroic or magnetoelectric properties, new superconductors (iron-based pnictides and chalcogenides) and hydrides of intermetallic compounds. These syntheses take advantage of the development of large-volume HP-HT cells at Institut Néel ("Instrumentation" group).
Sol-gel and chimie douce (ion exchange, intercalation) syntheses are currently used for various material synteses. Intercalation can be controlled electrochemically for lithium intercalation properties (battery materials) or chemically in alkali element-containing pnictides and chalcogenides investigated for superconductivity. Hydrothermal synthesis has been extensively used to produce materials with magnetic frustration properties (atacamite family), including as small single crystals.
Intermetallic compounds of particular interest for applications such as permanent magnets, magnetostrictive materials and magnetocaloric materials are synthesized by induction melting of the high-purity elements in inert atmosphere. Phases that are difficult to obtain by induction melting such as p-element compounds (carbides, borides etc) can now be prepared using a two-arc melting set-up. In order to stabilize specific crystal structures, post-melting annealing treatments and/or quenching can be carried out in evacuated silica ampoules.
Solid-gas reactions are used in order to introduce interstitial elements (hydrogen or eventually nitrogen) in the crystal structure of intermetallic compounds. Thermal activation of the reaction of hydrogen gaz with intermetallic ingots or powders is achieved under high pressure (up to 7 GPa). These studies aim to (1) search for new hydride compounds by exploring phase diagrams, (2) modify the structural and magnetic properties of the host intermetallic compounds leading to interesting physical properties.
Crystals of complex oxides are currently grown using several techniques, such as floating zone, high-temperature flux or chemical vapour transport. These allowed us to obtain crystals of numerous compounds with magnetic frustration properties, such as langasites, rare-earth pyrochlores, spinels and lamellar oxides. A self-flux technique in sealed silica tubes is used for the growth of superconducting iron chalcogenides and arsenides crystals. The flux technique is also extended to HP-HT conditions to grow single crystals of high pressure oxides (distorted perovskites, Cu-Ge spinel) or compounds for which pressure increases the component solubility in the liquid phase (iron-based arsenides). Single crystals of intermetallic compounds are also grown under argon by the Bridgman and Czochralski techniques.

All these studies strongly benefit from the technical expertise and scientific support of the "Instrumentation", "cristaux massifs" and "Epitaxie et couches minces" technological groups of Institut Néel.

چکیده انگلیسی
Online advertising has short- and long-term effects. Little is known, however, about which online advertising channel works best to address particular customer groups when short- and long-term effects, are taken into account. We look at the sales effect of search engine marketing (SEM), banner advertising, price comparison advertising (PCA) and coupon/loyalty advertising (CLA) on new and existing customers. Our analysis, which uses a sample of 2.8 million purchases, shows that SEM has the longest effect, followed by banners, CLA, and PCA. We find that CLA works better for existing customers than for new customers, whereas PCA works better to attract new customers.
مقدمه انگلیسی
To marketing researchers and practitioners, advertising effectiveness and accountability are topics of continuous interest (e.g., Clark, 1999, McDonald, 2010 and Rust et al., 2004). Many studies have analyzed the parameters of advertising effectiveness by showing which advertisements work when, for which consumer, and under what circumstances (e.g., Shamdasani et al., 2001 and Tellis et al., 2005). Researchers have shown that traditional advertising media, such as TV, radio and print, have both short-term and long-term effects (Naik and Raman, 2003 and Vakratsas and Ma, 2005) and that long-term effects vary by type of advertising medium and can continue, as in the case of newspapers, for more than a week (Berkowitz, Allaway, and D'Souza 2001a). Moreover, advertising should be target group specific (e.g., in terms of the chosen advertising medium) in order to achieve the highest impact (Iyer et al., 2005 and Reutterer et al., 2006). With the advent of the Internet and its growing importance as a place to do business, online advertising has become a topic of increasing interest to academic research (e.g., Ha, 2008 and Kim and McMillan, 2008). In the past decade, Internet advertising has grown beyond simple banner advertising to include new advertising models and online channels (e.g., on-demand advertising such as advertising through search engines and price comparison Web site advertising) that make better use of the Internet's unique potential for interaction between consumer and advertiser (Rappaport 2007).
نتیجه گیری انگلیسی
Overall, our analysis indicates that online ad channels have long-term effects that can differ by target group: SEM has the longest effect (8 days), followed by banners, CLA and PCA (~ 1 day). The sales impact of CLA is significantly better for ECs than for NCs, whereas PCA works better to attract NCs. To avoid biased results, long-term effects specific to particular target groups should be part of every analysis of advertising effectiveness.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
1) Your proposal is changing a long-standing aspect of the game, one that is linked to Enchanting so in that context yes, Enchanting is on-topic.To continue addressing points being made
1) This isn't the Enchanting topic, so can we please not focus on that specifically? I will touch on it but that is not the topic. The fact that there are two Spellcrafts (Elemental and Cosmic) should answer your questions. What sense does it make to have a guardian be able to enchant cleanse or a mage to enchant nimbus? We can bicker about how things are unfair and such, but nothing in Spellcraft is actually REQUIRED for anything. And if there is actual requirements, move it to base Enchantment or give a clone to Tinkering.
2) Absinthe is still used to let dreamweavers remain asleep and if I remember correctly its how you even got to the dream realm. It's been a while since I've touched that skillset so yes I can be wrong. However, if anything it still gets you massively drunk if I also remember correctly. If it doesn't, make it so!
Again, it's something that's been a factor of the game since launch. One that was maintained through Lorecraft and Spellcraft rather than just being removed altogether when Alchemy and Enchanting were made base skills. It's quite literally the reason for why they're in their current state and whether or not there is a need for a separate thread to discuss Enchantment is only really relevant if the clear decision of this thread is that the division of available trades should no longer be the case.Enya said:This is a pretty big and unnecessary derail. If you are interested in revamping enchantments, go on ahead. If you need help figuring out how to post a new thread, I'd be happy to walk you through it.
Making alchemy both forests and cities is not a big deal, the forests do not only get enchantments because they are holding alchemical goods hostage. It's not really a mess in any real sense of the word because (and this is really important) cities ALREADY GET everything still useful in lorecraft and have since the curing overhaul and it's been manifestly fine. The 1/5 defenses and perfumes becoming marginally more available to cities will not break anything. All that's left in alchemy are frills and minor defenses. If you are concerned about city mages being able to freeze out commune access to cleanse enchants now that they can make the perfumes on their own, move cleanse into base enchanting.
To reiterate: With no changes cities already have access to all important alchemy goods. All of the curatives are now in the base alchemy skill anyways. Lorecraft (and by extensions forests) doesn't have things that cities need.
I think the answer to whether or not it would be a big deal depends on the last two paragraphs.In terms of pure stuff to make, sell and use. Not looking at self defs and such.
Forest got frost and fire which is needed for all. Plus oils for influence.
Cities got waterwalk/nimbus/gust/levitate/waterbreathe/geyser/web/icewall/ignite/acquisitio
Would it be really a big deal if we just combined the stuff to let forest do all these fancy enchantments and cities do fire/frost and oils and such?
I'm sort of in two minds about tradeskills overall right now. One of the issues with the economy as I see it is that one person can nearly get everything they need themselves all the important tradeskills have very little in the way of restrictions so you can basically be almost totally self sufficent which isnt great if you want a living working economy with people trading back and forth. So more restrictions could be a good thing.
On the other hand we're short on a lot of folks with the right tradeskills who are about and avaliable. Its a real pain having to dig around to get some random newbie such and such an enchantment. Theres basically two people I know who'll do certain enchantments for me right now and if they are away or busy then its like your out of luck. Then you look at tattoos and finding a tattoo artist is tricky enough.
I'm starting to think that "derailing" to you is any kind of criticism. You're not the arbiter of what is and is not relevant, which I'm thankful for when your arguments appear to boil down to "because I said so." If you want to discuss Tattoos, Monks are going to come up. If you want to discuss Toadcurse, you should be prepared to talk about both Wiccan classes. If you want to talk Alchemy, I'm not sure why you're surprised that people are bringing up Enchantment, and I'm not sure why you expect "stop talking about it!" to work.Enya said:It's a thing that has been a factor since launch... and died as the curing overhaul went into effect, as mentioned at the start of the thread. The existing status quo is that cities do not need lorecrafters for anything but convenience (and fire defense, which is nice but by no means necessary). Because of this fact, the question "is this a big deal" has been answered by the state of the game thus far: it's not a big deal.
Requiring that any changes to alchemy also rework the entire enchantment cluster derails the conversation to preserve something that already is dead. Simplify down alchemy to remove the crusty old skills and fill back in an otherwise empty trade tree, start a thread about enchantment to simplify it if necessary, then look towards restricting each to cities or forests as a third issue. No need to entangle all three. No benefit to entangling all three. Stop entangling all three.
I feel like you kinda need to start looking at the justifications for making Lorecraft available to cities. Cause, aside from shifting two recipes from Brewmeister to Lorecraft, that's effectively your suggestion for Alchemy. And if adding two skills to Lorecraft is sufficient to resolve the issue, why not just create two new ones and leave Alchemy otherwise as it?Sylphas, do you have any particular proposals you'd like to make regarding a revamp of Enchantments?
I don't think Enchantment needs a "revamp." I just think it's part of the conversation when you start discussing Alchemy. My main issue so far with this has simply been the perceived attitude that literally anything outside of Alchemy, Lorecraft, and Herbs is off-topic in this thread. If someone asks what you mean to do with the non-trade part of Brewmeister, it's dismissed. If someone mentions the forest/city split between alchemy and enchantment, it's dismissed. It boggles my mind how much tunnel vision is on display here.Sylphas, do you have any particular proposals you'd like to make regarding a revamp of Enchantments?
It wasn't as simple as just adding two new skills to Lorecraft, and the snark being pointed that way is less helpful and more of just not wanting to actually help.
The number two is literally coming from the OP because that is what was suggested there.@Sylphas: As Lerad points out, it isn't as simple as just adding two abilities to Lorecraft.
Assuming you wanted to fix Alchemy and Herbs without merging or moving any skills, you'd want, at a minimum, two new Lorecraft recipes
Yeah, they're linked and what you're demanding here is that one discussion (should the division of available trades continue) be split over two separate topics.This thread was made to take suggestions for these specific trades. That is the topic. Not a single person here is trying to say its not linked. This is why we keep asking, usually politely, to remain on topic and have already stated, which I'm sure was glossed over, that a thread can and will be made for Enchantment.
Yes... and that original Alchemy was effectively what you're suggesting now, just keeping the oils to replace the lost curatives.As its also been overly stated, the vast majority of useful items in Alchemy are already in the base skillset, and as a side note - Lorecraft and Spellcraft were NOT HERE ON LAUNCH. Those were introduced when later, thank you. It was originally Wiccan and Druids for Alchemy only, Mages and Guardians for Enchantment. There were no specializations on launch, the skills in Enchantment differed based on your current class, kind of like how the OrgPotions show up in base Alchemy now. When Bards were given Alchemy and Brewmeister, Lorecraft became a specialization, in which the perfumes and such were made.
As someone has multiple trades (including both Lorecraft and Brewmeister), I've noticed that Alchemy also has more sellable items that are required for combat than pretty much any other trade skill, particularly stuff that everyone in the game needs(unless you're not moving leaving your city). Which is a point others have brought up and seems to have been glossed over.Good points were brought up on both sides but clarification is in order. Lorecraft, in this proposal, lost more skills than they gained ... as anybody who actually HAS Lorecraft would notice.
You may not think it's a factor, but if there was an actual discussion about it maybe people might determine that it should be enhanced rather than elimited.Making statements that trade skills should be at ransom to force interaction just means you don't believe in the political aspect of the game. Nobody stated they should be held at ransom, but just pointing that out. What needs to be agreed upon is that locking things behind a requirement that is a whole organizational choice is silly. It is bad enough you can barely find someone of the trade you're looking for, MUCH LESS IN YOUR OWN ORGANIZATION. It is honestly bad enough as is feeling obligated to take a trade skill because I qualify for it, and people need it.
Read the topic, stay on topic, and offer ideas or support.

Hawaii volcanic water is taking the world by storm due to its many profound benefits. Not only is volcanic water naturally pH-balanced, but it is chock full of nutrients, electrolytes and minerals that are good for your body and health. One of the most well-known volcanic water companies in the world is Waiakea. Waiakea has been around since early 2012 and provides a delicious water alternative to those who want more out of the bottle they're drinking from daily. Since the company has been in business, Waiakea has manufactured and sold over a million bottles. The water itself originates in gorgeous Hawaii at the base of the Mauna Loa volcano. The water first comes from the snow-peaked volcanic mountains and passes through volcanic rock to naturally filter the liquid. Once the water reaches the bottom of the volcano, Waiakea will collect it and bottle it to be sold. Further filtration is required to meet Health Department standards.
The founder and current CEO of the company is Mr. Emmons. He is the face and name behind the brand and has been a devout member of the Water Filtration Organization for many years. The Waiakea company is currently worth $10 million as of last year, making it one of the largest and fastest growing companies in the world. Waiakea has its headquarters in California, where the water is bottled and sold to the public. Each Waiakea bottle that you purchase has pure, natural volcanic water inside, which has a plethora of benefits you would not get from regular bottled water. Not only is volcanic water full of minerals and vitamins, but it's a natural source of electrolytes as well since the water has to pass through volcanic rock to reach its source. Waiakea offers a number of different bottle varieties, from single bottles to 24-packs available for purchase either through their site or locally.
Waiakea uses only the most sustainable sources to bottle their water, which makes them the first Carbon Neutral certified water bottle company. For every purchase that is made, Waiakea will send part of the proceeds to aid social programs in Hawaii. Along with this, Waiakea will provide one week of clean water to a needy area for every purchase when you buy their water.
Many world-renowned entrepreneurs begin their careers in either finance or banking. Mike Baur is no different. His career began in 1991 when he got a job at Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS), one of the biggest banks in the country. Since his first day, everyone expected him to propel up the corporate ladder.
For a time, he did. He had a natural gift for banking, earning him an entry into the business like no one before him. Many people charted his potential career path, leading all the way up to the top. Yet, Baur had career ideas of his own.
Not many people could do what Baur would eventually do. For over a decade, he worked with UBS, becoming one of the most talented banks to ever work there. He even advised many of the bank's wealthiest clients. But in 2008, Baur decided it was time to leave.
He left UBS for a job at Clariden Leu, another popular bank in Zurich. Again, his bosses expected him to climb the corporate and become the man they wanted. Despite six years of splendid success at Clariden, Baur still wanted something more. In 2014, he became completely disenchanted with banking and left the company.
He became fed up with dealing with all the red tape that bankers dealt with on a daily basis. He wanted to start helping tech entrepreneurs, which is something that he'd wanted for a long time. After leaving Clariden, he connected with a like-minded man named Max Meister.
Together, they co-founded Swiss Startup Factory. SSUF is an incubator program company that offers all sorts of services to young tech entrepreneurs with potentially great ideas. The more Meister and Baur believe in the project, the more free services they're willing to offer.
While start-ups require much of his focus, he worked in banking for over 20 years; it's a hard business to quit. While leading SSUF, he also founded Think Reloaded. Think Reloaded is his way of staying in the banking business without dealing with all the stress and red tape he came to hate.
Eventually, his companies began working together, earning him the title of CTI Invest's Deputy Managing Director. Together, the two companies added to the already numerous services offered by SSUF. Currently, both Max Meister and Mike Baur work closely with BV4 leadership.

Aloha's Work Quality
The Aloha Construction group is focused on making the life of the residents within its territory easier. Being that they are a construction firm the only way to achieve this is through delivering quality work. They have resultantly shown evidence of their work quality through their growth. One of the evidences of this growth involves their completion of seven thousand construction projects in 2013 which has increased to up to twenty thousand by 2015. Another evidence of their growth is their increased coverage in their area of operation. Aloha offers a ten year craftsmanship warranty to ensure total customer satisfaction of the services they offer.

Everyone wants to have the chance to express themselves. Some people do so through a chosen career or extracurricular activities, such as volunteer work. Others express themselves by the clothes they wear and the way that their hair looks. A lot of women express themselves by choosing a certain style and complementing it with certain hair and makeup choices. In fact, every individual expresses themselves with clothing and hair in one way or another. For Doe Deere, the founder of the popular Cosmetics company Lime Crime, that idea of expressing yourself through things like style, makeup and hair color is a natural extension of personality. It is also an avenue to show the rest of the world what that personality is really like, often giving people an idea about it long before they ever personally get to know someone.
Without a doubt, Doe Deere has taken her desire to express herself and turned it into a very profitable business, indeed. Growing up in Russia, she admits that she always had an entrepreneurial side to her, even designing and selling temporary tattoos to her own classmates when she was just 13 years old. She moved to the United States at the tender age of 17, spending time in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Deere has commented in the past on her desire to become a musician and she accomplished those goals when she moved to New York. Eventually, she started writing songs and playing in a band, even meeting her husband through this particular avenue. While this was always her goal and it was definitely within her grasp, she started to realize that she wasn't expressing herself with her fashion choices as well as she would have liked. This was largely because the desired options simply weren't there for her at the time. She liked bright colors and she wasn't able to find those colors through any avenue, forcing her to make her own cosmetics so that she could express herself in the way that she chose.
It is almost ironic that the simple desire for Doe Deere to express herself turned into such a money making business. This is especially true given the fact that when she originally moved to the United States, creating and operating her own cosmetics company was not really something she had given a lot of thought about. Her goals were on becoming a musician and she was achieving those goals in superior fashion. She readily admits that she basically stumbled into the career of makeup as a direct result of her own desire to create products that she could use. Before she knew it, other women were approaching her and asking her where she got those bright colors and she had to admit to them that she made them herself. The demand for these colors forced her to start selling them and before she knew it, her company was born.
Today, she readily admits that this unintentional turn of events was a positive one. She is happy and she knows that she is exactly where she is supposed to be. Better yet, she is making it possible for anyone else that wants to enjoy these bright colors to do exactly that.

JustFab is an online subscription fashion store that contains a range of jewelry, handbags, shoes and denim. JustFab was founded in 2010 by two entrepreneurs, Adam Goldenberg and Don Ressler. Adam Goldenberg was an entrepreneur at an early age. At the age of 15 he founded his own company Gamers Alliance which he sold to Intermix Media in 1999. Goldenberg then dropped out of high school and joined Intermix Media as the Vice president of Strategic Planning. Adam Goldenberg became the youngest Chief Operating Officer of the company at the age of 20.
It was while at Intermix Media that Adam Goldenberg met Don Ressler. Don was a specialist in brand building and in 2001 sold his own company FitnessHeaven.com to Intermix Media. The two became friends and teamed up to start their own company Intelligent Beauty when News Corporation acquired Intermix Media in 2005. Mr. Adam Goldenberg served as its Chief Executive officer. He has been the president of Brentwood Cosmetics and Alena LLC since 2004. He was also the head of Performance Marketing Group at Intermix. His experience of more than five years in product development and internet marketing has made him one of the leaders in the field.
Half a decade after its founding, JustFab is the leading e-commerce subscription company and boasts of approximately 35 million members all over the world. The company has spread to various countries such as France, Spain, Germany, UK and Canada. Three years after it was founded JustFab's total funding was $300 million, making it a 'unicorn' the name given to companies which have valuations of over a billion dollars.
The subscription fee is $39.95(VIP membership) monthly and when members register they are required to complete a survey where they state their fashion tastes. At the start of each month the member can choose items based on their tastes, seek new options or skip the month at no cost. Goldenberg is convinced that in the next 20 years half of the world's population will be shopping online so JustFab is focusing on building a great brand. The success of the company so far lies in the seriousness they give on customer feedback. Employees analyze the feedback and adjust accordingly to make the customers happy.

I have worked in the field of finance for many years. During my years as an accountant, I've interacted with many people from numerous fields. As a result, I've often had cause to deal with people who are truly committed to excellence. One such person is the late Stephen P. Murray. Murray is someone who I remember fondly.
Before his untimely and unexpected death, I remember him as someone who was always happy and full of life. In our time together, I was always impressed with his unyielding integrity and his thoughtful devotion to our chosen field. As a result of his efforts, the field of finance and economics was a brighter, happier place for all of us who work here.
Our First Meeting
From the very first, I remember being attracted to numbers. Numbers were always a subject I have truly loved and adored. This was very much for Stephen Murray CCMP Capital as well. He shared my passion for the subject. This was instantly He also shared my love of being able to help our customer base get access to the kind of service we all know is important and necessary for any person of honor.
Just as I pride myself on my love of helping people, so too did the late Stephen Murray. He was also someone who cared about being there for people at all times.
Two Decades Together
When I began the long climb up the banking fiscal ladder, I realized that it would be ideal to have a teammate on my side.
This is why I reached out to someone who clearly shared my personal goals. Stephen Murray was that person. When we began our careers together at Chemical Bank over two decades ago, I knew that he had what it takes to get somewhere. His leadership skills were evident from the very first and obvious to all of those who worked with him.
We knew that he was the person we could count on to help us all figure out how best to serve the needs of our customers at Chemical. At all times, he was there for us, helping us get the knowledge we needed to stay on top.
Doe Deere is a young entrepreneur that has never let anything hold her back from her dreams. Deere was born in Russia, and she and her family immigrated to the United States when she was very little. Deere is a woman that wanted to work in fashion and be independent from a very young age. Deere dabbled in fashion after college, and she was able to start her own fashion line in 2004. She named her fashion line limcrime. She was her own model in that fashion line. Even though she really enjoyed what she was doing, she wanted to be able to do more. Deere enjoyed modeling makeup, and she wanted to be able to use a makeup that was bold and colorful.
The makeup industry was really at a loss for makeup that was bold and colorful. Deere decided that she was going to try to make her own brand of makeup. The only problem that Deere had was that she did not really have that much funding. Deere only had a few hundred dollars to make her dream come to life, and that is exactly what she did with the money that she had. Deere was able to form Lime Crime makeup, and now Lime Crime is an international success.
The Bustle did an interview with Doe Deere about all of the fashion laws that she does not obey. Deere is a person that likes to dress however she feels. Fashion stipulates that a person should dress for certain occasions, or that they should always dress their age. Deere dresses in a way that makes her feel good, and the occasion is not important to her. Deere colors her hair colors that are unnatural, and she does not let that stop her from wearing different colors, patterns, and bright makeup.
Deere's favorite clothing are socks. She had hundreds of pairs of socks, and she likes to wear them on different occasions. Fashion says that a woman should never wear open-toed shoes with sox, but Deere chooses colorful socks with her opened-toed shoes on a regular basis.

It is comprised of more than 23,000 square metres and may become operational by 2015.
Environment Minister Alex Attwood said the granting of planning permission was "timely".
"The granting of full planning permission is an important step in the development of this significant project," he said.
The Department of Finance and Personnel approved the business case in October.
Work is expected to start later this year.
The project was first announced in 2004 and was originally due to be finished in 2008. The cost envisaged at the time was £80m.
