Who gets the surplus?
In virtually every known society, the surplus is appropriated -- taken -- by some relatively small subset of the population, with the result that the members of that subset live better than the rest of the members of the society. We know these appropriators as kings, princes, oligarchs, pharaohs, priests, generals, landed aristocrats, tyrants -- and as entrepreneurs, merchants, advertising executives, lawyers, professors, and elected politicians. Almost always, the appropriators trick out their appropriations with justifications, rationales [or rationalizations] designed to persuade those from whom the surplus is taken of the rightness of the appropriation. The surplus getters suggest that they are bigger, stronger, more handsome, more charismatic, smarter, more productive, blessed by the Gods, sanctified by immemorial tradition, chosen by a vote of the people, riding the wave of history. And for the most part, those from whom the surplus has been taken -- the expropriated -- accept these rationales, sometimes grudgingly, quite often willingly or even enthusiastically.
The surplus comes in many forms. It is extra grain harvested from the fields, over and above what is needed to keep alive those who grow and harvest the grain. It is cloaks and mantles over and above what is needed to shelter from the weather those who shear the sheep, card and spin the wool, and weave the cloth for the cloaks and mantles. Sometimes it takes the form of swords made from iron that would otherwise provide additional plowshares or in the form of spears that could better serve as pruning hooks. [A little biblical reference there, for those of a religious turn of mind.]
In some societies, the conditions of life of those who get the surplus are only slightly more comfortable than those from whom the surplus is taken, but in many societies, the differences are so great that after a while the two groups of people seem not even to be of the same species or from the same world. The producers of the surplus are short, thin, careworn, illiterate, and short lived. The surplus getters are tall, handsome, healthy, cheerful, well-educated, and long-lived. The surplus producers struggle to keep their children from starving to death. The surplus getters send their children to Ivy League schools and on to the Grand Tour of Europe. Life is good for the surplus getters; not so good for those who produce the surplus.
How do the surplus getters get the surplus?
In many ways. Sometimes, like the Vikings of early medieval Europe, they simply sail up the rivers of Western Europe from the coast each Fall and steal the harvest as the peasants reap it. Or they ride into town as the bandits of the Southwest did and take the harvest at the point of a gun. At first, this is, and is understood to be, simple theft. But as the bandits return, year after year, the peasants become accustomed to the raids, and in an effort to avoid bloodshed, prepare the harvest for the stealing. This is then called taxes. Eventually, one lone bandit rides into town, not even wearing a gun, to collect the money the peasants have managed to acquire by selling their crops. The state has arrived.
Sometimes the surplus getters hold the producers in bondage, forcing them to labor on the lands owned by the surplus getters. Instead of seizing the surplus after it has been produced, they forcibly command the labor of the producers, allowing to the producers only so much of the annual product as is needed to keep them alive and allow them to raise up their replacements when they wear out -- their children. This is known as slavery. The condition of the slaves is often very little different from that of the nominally free producers whose surplus is taken from them, or appropriated.
How do the surplus getters get the surplus in a capitalist society. in which all men are free [we pass over in silence for the moment the condition of women], and all exchanges in the marketplace voluntary and based on mutual self-interest? That there are surplus getters even in this "very Eden of the innate rights of man" [CAPITAL, last page of Chapter VI] is manifest, for cheek by jowl with the slums of Manchester, Liverpool, and London are great mansions in which live the getters of the capitalist surplus. But HOW they get it is a mystery that eludes even the greatest minds of the Classical tradition in Political Economy. It is to the solution of this great puzzle that Marx devotes much of Volumes One, Two, and Three of CAPITAL, and we shall return to this question shortly, for at its heart lies the secret of capitalism.
What do the surplus getters do with the surplus when they get it?
This is actually the question that exercised Smith and Ricardo the most. In their view, entrepreneurs used the surplus [in the form of profits] to expand the scope of production, reinvesting it in an expanded labor force, new machinery, more fields under cultivation, and so on. The landed aristocrats, by contrast, used their share of the surplus [which came to them in the form of rents] to employ crowds of liveried servants, give lavish balls, maintain gilded carriages, consuming the surplus unproductively. Smith in particular was worried that as the demand for grain pressed on the available land and rents rose, so much of the annual surplus would be transferred to these unproductive expenditures that growth would come to a halt and the dreaded "stationary state" would result. It is worth noting that the notion of class conflict was central to classical political economy, and was not in any way original with Marx.
A share of the social surplus in most societies is consumed buttressing, protecting, and rationalizing the privileged position of the surplus getters. Some of that share is used to support a substantial military and police force which is available to put down any dangerous protests from those who are being denied the fruits of their productive labors. Some supports priests and churches, in which the virtues of submission and the promise of plenty in the next life serve to dull the resentment of the expropriated producers. Some must be devoted to maintaining lawyers and judges who can be counted on to resolve all disputes in a manner favorable to the surplus getters' interests. And there is even a bit of this share left over to keep in comfortable unproductivity artists to provide amusements for the surplus getters and philosophers to explain why all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.
The secret of the explosive power of capitalism, as Smith, Ricardo, and Marx well understood, is that it alone, among all the forms of economy and society that history reveals to us, relentlessly allocates as much as possible of the social surplus to reinvestment for the purpose of expanding yet further the magnitude of the surplus. "Accumulate! Accumulate! That is Moses and the Prophets to the capitalists," as Marx writes in one of many brilliant passages in volume I of CAPITAL.
There are of course books to be written on every one of the observations in the preceding paragraphs, and Marx wrote a good many of them himself. But in the interest of brevity, I shall concentrate here on one question among all those that have been raised or intimated, namely, How in a capitalist economy does it come about that entrepreneurs exit from the market ever richer? Exactly how is it that in a capitalist economy the annual surplus is appropriated by one class, the entrepreneurs, or capitalists?
To answer this question, Marx must wrestle with and finally solve a technical puzzle concerning the determinants of the prices of commodities in the marketplace that had baffled Smith and in the end stumped Ricardo.
In the next post, we shall begin our discussion of this famous puzzle, leading finally to Marx's version of that centerpiece of Classical Political Economy, the Labor Theory of Value.

This is the time of year when people will be doing "Thankful Challenges"…
and other people will remind us that we should be thankful all year 'round, not just in November.
And we should be thankful all year long.
Paul instructed us to be thankful in all circumstances.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. – 1 Thessalonians 5:18
This doesn't sound very hard, until you're faced with a huge financial setback, a child who is very ill and in the hospital, marriage trouble, or a health crisis.
Suddenly, our mind is gripped with worry and anxiety. Frustration overtakes us and plants seeds of doubt in our mind and we begin questioning God.
Why me?
We start to second-guess ourselves, wondering if we somehow stepped out of God's will. We begin to think that if we were truly in the will of God that these bad things wouldn't happen to us.
There are two things we need to remember in being thankful when life goes sideways:
1. We need to ask the right questions. In this post: Are You Asking the Right Question? I point out that the right question isn't why, but what.
2. Being in God's will doesn't protect us from bad things happening to us, it enables us to walk through difficult circumstances with peace and joy.
3. Being thankful always is God's will, so if you want to know what God's will for your life is, now you know.
By now I'm sure you're wondering how you could possibly be thankful for a child who is very ill or a marriage that is on the rocks.
Paul didn't say, "For everything give thanks…", but "In everything give thanks…"
In other words, just because you're facing a trial or, as my dad terms "waves of adversity" doesn't mean you stop finding reasons to live thankful.
Learning to live life through a prism of thankfulness and gratefulness is a discipline that helps keep our heart free from trap of entitlement and ungratefulness that leads to bitterness, selfishness, and pride.
For this reason I think November is a great time of year to remind ourselves of this important lesson. What's more, I think it is the best start to our holiday season.
Begin to create a pattern of living thankful so that as we approach Christmas we aren't consumed with what we want more than we are with celebrating Christ's birth.
You can also get this 30 Day Prayer Challenge for Thanksgiving. I have found 30 verses that talk about thanksgiving or praise (which is often just another word for thankful), to remind ourselves to be thankful always.
As with all of our prayer challenges, you can use the 30 Day Prayer Challenge for Thanksgiving all year long!
Let's start off this holiday season with training our hearts and minds to default to thankfulness…
in every situation
in every circumstance
in every trial
in every setback
until we can face each one with peace, joy, and a secure faith in knowing that God is always in control and will somehow turn each circumstance around for His glory!

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game set in the world of Hyboria, the world of Conan that is. Through fighting monsters, and interaction with Non Player Characters, you the player, forge a path of adventure and one of destiny.
With character creation you pick your gender and then pick your race from 3 varieties of human. You can pick your class from a total of twelve, based on the four archetypes of Warrior, Rogue, Priest, and Wizard. Be warned each race only has access to 6 classes or so and not all of the archetypes. Then it's on to customizing your appearance. There is the basic mode were you have a pyramid slider for body shape, a height slider and a drop down list for faces; then there is the advanced mode which is full of sliders, and I don't mean White Castle Burgers, for different sections of the body and face.
After creating your character you enter the world as a ship wrecked slave on an island, home to a pirate city. The island is broken up into instant areas for multiple players or ones meant for single players. After making it through the jungle full of bandits and the vile Pict's you make it to the city gates, where you learn that before you enter you must be free of the slavers cuffs still attached to your wrists. Help a near by NPC and he'll free you from your bindings, save for the one that marks your body. Once in the city the game will open up. Vendors, quest givers and the like are all abound. Yet there is more, there is a single player story mode that you can go into and out as you wish, when you find the right NPC. When talking to NPC's many times you will get options on what to reply, be you good and noble, or evil and cut throat.
Unlike the standard point and click/auto attack combat of other MMORPG's, combat is more involved. You'll need to keep hitting the keys to fight with basic attacks and as you level up you'll learn combo moves that give you even more power. Each class has a variety of weapon and armor types available and different combos work with different weapon types. Also with the right attack combos you can do devastating attacks that can leave your foe in pieces. Movement and camera work is the same as most PC games, by mouse or by keyboard, and a game pad can also be set up to work with it.
Leveling on the other hand is standard fair. As you level you gain skills and points to place in areas such healing rate, running speed, climbing, hiding, etc. Also as you gain experience between levels you gain more skill points, so look at your status screen often. At level 10 you begin to learn feats which are extra abilities. For the higher levels, players have to look forward to player generated cities and mounts to ride forth across the lands.
There are lots of lighting, shadows, and water reflections and these can be controlled as well. The game is beautiful even at low settings, and when they get it working it will make use of Direct X10 for Vista users. Be sure to have at least the recommended specs for the game to make it really worth your while. I do have some issues with frame rate, but since I'm using a downloaded client for the review, it's part to blame. Also make sure your drivers are all up to date. For XP users the downloaded client was installing Direct X10 DLL's so check the Age of Conan forums on how to deal with them.
Sound is well done, save for the Intro, it has issues with a lot of sound cards and drivers. Again this is from the downloaded client. For the actual game it's great, music is right, sound effects are great, and all the NPC's have voice work.
Now on to the grit. There are the graphics issues with the low frame rate, which seems to hit both sides of the ATI and Nivida war, though some ATI cards are hit really badly. The sound to the Intro does not work as it should for many. The installing of DX10 DLL's in a XP system can cause issues with DX9. Now it may be caused by the fact that it's a downloaded client I'm using or out right bugs, though it is a new MMORPG, built with a lot of new technology, i.e. DX10. So give it a month or so to shine.
The good things are it is pretty, the combat isn't the same old MMORPG cookie cutter auto attack, single and multiplayer options, great character creation options, plenty of different classes, and more. The use of instant areas helps with server strain and they do manage to keep loading times down. If dealing with PC gaming isn't your thing there will be an X-Box 360 version this Fall.
Final Verdict
In the end, Funcom did well, but only time will tell if it will stand up to World of Warcraft and those MMORPG's on the horizon, from Warhammer, to the mysterious Bioware MMORPG and the host of Asian MMORPG's. The time I spent playing the game was enjoyable and as this being an ever changing MMORPG there's never enough time to see everything or typing space to describe everything. Be warned it does make full use of the mature rating, from the combat, social interacting, to topless females. As with most MMORPG's they are hard to give a grade, since they are ever changing and dependent on the player's computer hardware. That being said Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures is a decent game.

- Is there anything missing from the novel?
- Would I buy this book from the finished manuscript? If not, why not?
What don't you get?
I will note any typos and errors in punctuation and grammar that I spot, but please don't rely on me to do so! Proofreading is a very different beast to beta reading and I for one cannot do both at once. I focus on the story only.
I'll give you my thoughts on your story as it reads, but if it features historical events, cultural influences etc, I won't do research to see if these are correct. I recently beta read a YA fantasy novel that used a lot of Cornish mythology and language, so my feedback focused on how this worked within the story and helped with world building etc. I didn't get a Cornish to English dictionary to see if the words were used correctly (I am actually Cornish, but most of us don't speak the language!) or research if the particular castle being referenced existed.
What I like to read
Romance (I don't mind reading erotica, just let me know what I'm in for!)
What I won't read
What does it cost?
Up to 50,000 words: $30
50,000 - 100,000 words: $50
100,000 - 150,000 words: $100
Over 150,000 words: I've never been asked to beta read anything over 150k before, but there's a first time for everything. Get in touch and we can work something out.
I'll provide you with feedback the first chapter (plus prologue if there is one) for free so you can see if my beta reading service would be suitable for you.
Drop me an e-mail at email@example.com with a synopsis of your novel, the word count and any deadlines you're working towards and I'll get back to your ASAP.
I can say without hesitation that Mikayla was my most valuable beta reader on both of the books she has beta read for me. She provided thorough, detailed feedback from the big picture down to the scene by scene level. Her in depth understanding of story structure, pacing, character arc, theme, and dialogue were evident in her suggestions and made her feedback even more useful. Plus, she manages to objectively tell you all the things wrong with your story while still being sweet and supportive! If you are lucky enough to snag her as a beta reader, you won't be disappointed!
- Claire Luana
I gave my MS to Mikayla to beta read in mid 2016. At the time I sent it, I was rather happy with where the story was, but needed another set of eyes on it. Mikayla was able to point out several weak spots in my narrative, as well as which characters were in need of more personality. She had praise for the story's strong points, but also did not shy away from constructive critique of places in the story where improvement was needed. I found her feedback invaluable to bring the MS up to a polished and finished state. I'm writing the sequel to my first novel now, and plan to send it off to Mikayla once it's ready.
- Cory Farris
I had hired three beta readers for my manuscript and was pretty discouraged when I received little-to-no constructive criticism. (To this day, I'm not sure that one of the betas actually read the manuscript.) Mikayla, on the other hand, provided in-depth feedback on each chapter along with comments, questions and thoughts throughout the manuscript. She highlighted lines she loved, questioned things that she didn't understand and called out things that she didn't like – both as a reader and about inner monologues and dialogue that were out of character. Mikayla's feedback was timely, incredibly constructive, and exactly what I needed. She comes highly recommended!

(Photo KXNT SamStone) Transport Workers Union members support Allegiant Air flight attendants
Las Vegas CBS KXNT – Hundreds of Transport Workers Union members staged a rush-hour protest outside Allegiant Air's Las Vegas office on Thursday, protesting stalled contract negotiations with the company's flight attendants.
The flight attendants say they voted to join TWU in late 2010, and two years after sitting down at the table, are still waiting for their contract to be completed.
Allegiant's pilots and dispatchers have voted separately to join other unions. Negotiators say the three work units together comprise more than 50 percent of the company's employees.
Union members in town for a national TWU convention at the MGM were bussed from the Strip to join the picket.

14 Ways to Cope with Challenging School Transitions
For the final post in my back to school refresher series, I wanted to share this archive post on coping with challenging school transitions. We suffered with transition woes big time over repeated years with Laurel and relied on a number of tactics to help us through. Here are 14 ways to cope with challenging school transitions, which I deliver with hugs and high fives and good wishes for back to school season!
1. Remain calm. Everything goes better when you can remain calm. Sometimes it's hard not to get frustrated, but deep breathing -– and keeping in mind how huge a transition school is -– helps put things in perspective.
2. Listen. Sometimes kids just need to air their feelings. You don't need to solve the problem, just listen and affirm you hear him/her.
3. Pick up the phone. Phone calls to relatives and friends helped Laurel a lot when she was struggling with her new classrooms. It was interesting to hear her recount favorite things about the day, and was affirming to me that there were, in fact, some high points!
4. Plan a get together. Over the weekends or after school, play a playdate or two with familiar faces. A few weeks in, perhaps invite a new friend from class over for a playdate.
5. Play high/low. I absolutely love the high/low tip in Sheri's post on schedules and routines. This tactic helps you get to conversations about how to focus on the positive and find ways to cope with the less fun parts of the day. Knowing these extremes also makes it easier for me to communicate with teachers about needs and issues.
6. Send them with a reminder. Whether it's a concept (such as kisses per The Kissing Hand) or a physical object (such as the locket Laurel wore for her first years of school), little reminders of home and family can help.
7. Build in celebrations or milestones. Whether it's a small treat or something as simple as a dance party in your living room (recommended by my friend Cara), celebrate the end of each school day during the first challenging week or two.
8. Offer choices. Choice is empowering for kids, whether it's picking out the outfit for the day, choosing breakfast, or deciding on a backpack color. Choice can also help at transition time at school (e.g., goodbyes).
9. Affirm trust. When Laurel started kindergarten, we realized that she wasn't just sad about missing us, she was scared. She said something along the lines of, "Kindergarten is scary because I don't know if I can trust the grownups." We found that it helped to affirm our trust in her teachers and the fact that we would never put her in a situation where we didn't trust the grownups. It also was helpful to engage her in little games, such as estimating how many kindergartners Laurel's teacher has taught in her career, to illustrate that her teacher has been doing this a long time (to rave reviews, as it turns out) and is trustworthy.
10. Get in a routine. I posted earlier this week about the importance of schedule and routine. Routine helps kids feel secure and have a sense of what's happening, and will definitely help ease transition.
11. Share and relate. As I mentioned in my post about how to talk to your kids about puberty, it can be so helpful to share your own stories, especially when you're sharing about how you struggled with something and made it through.
12. Get creative. In the past, we've used music and art to help Laurel through things (e.g., making up a song with silly lyrics or drawing a picture about a tough situation). It can also be helpful to give your child a creative challenge to focus on; for example, report back how many people were wearing jeans or counting the number of yellow objects in the classroom.
13. Don't dwell. Though it's good to listen (#2) and help your kids process, you also don't want to feed the anxiety and dwell too long. Remember that kids will ultimately need to find their way through the transitions; given them a listening ear, encouragement, and some ways to cope, and then move on.
14. Thank the teachers. I have made a point to express my gratitude to Laurel's teachers for their patience and kindness. I know teachers should be used to this sort of thing, but after having a really terrible experience in first grade (I cried daily at the beginning and my teacher turned on me and was cruel, which made things even worse) I used to worry that Laurel's teachers would get frustrated and cast her aside as problematic or high maintenance. Communicating her typical adjustment patterns with them has been helpful for all parties.

Mindarie is a beautiful suburb north of Perth, there are lovely parks , tennis courts, beaches and the georgeous Mindarie Marina with its pubs and cafe strip, have a beer at the Indian Ocean Brewery or try fish and chips at The Boat Pub, have a meal at the Indian Restaurant or a coffee at the Dome coffee Shop. All overlooking our breathtaking harbour.
Hillarys Boat Harbour is about approx 35-40 minutes drive.
While Mindarie is a largely residential suburb, it does have a fairly large amount of infrastructure and amenities distributed at various points around the suburb. There are two minor shopping precincts in the northern and southern extremes of Mindarie, which include two service stations, various restaurants and take-away franchises such as McDonald's, Red Rooster, Hungry Jacks,Subway, Wok in Box, Kentucky and Mindarie SoFresh, an independent grocery store. There are plenty of paces to eat including Hogs breath,thai, Indian, chinese and plenty more. Mindarie Keys Medical Centre, located in the south, provides medical care for the suburb, as well as dental care and physiotherapy facilities. The large Ocean Keys Shopping Centre in Clarkson is situated adjacent to Mindarie on the other side of Marmion Avenue, catering to the suburb's residents for major commercial shopping needs and other public services.
Mindarie's coastline is mostly taken up by the Mindarie Marina and its large harbour and breakwater. The marina itself has been a popular destination for tourism since its inception in the late 1980s. Along the boardwalk, the marina contains a three-storey hotel overlooking the harbour, two restaurants, a microbrewery and The Boat, a pub and restaurant. The Boat provides the majority of Mindarie's entertainment and nightlife.
Immediately south of the marina's breakwater is Claytons Beach, a small, unpatrolled beach that is a popular spot for surfers. The unoccupied bushland part of the beach, further south, runs through Tamala Park and into Burns Beach in the City of Joondalup. A vast number of parks and reserves are situated all around the suburb. Bellport Park contains tennis courts, while Lighthouse Park and Bellport Park both contain large, functional lighthouses.

Bob, I am ready to order a pickup from you, but have a few final questions. On a 3 string,
Is the sound any different between A. art deco rail walnut and the art deco flathead
bakelite rail. B.Why is the Sultan of the delta pole $55.00 vrs. $75.00.
Thanks, Don Jensen
Thanks Bob. Most of the sides and backs I've built recently are out of .050 aluminum so it's real easy to form by hand. The tops of these are 1/8" birch ply. Amazing what will resonate.
Your pick ups are great, I guess I'll have to learn how to make them one day.

DRAMAFEVER MOVIE NIGHT: Finding Mr. Destiny, starring Im Soo Jung and Gong Yoo
Every once in a while I have a sudden aching longing for Gong Yoo, who has a shocking lack of new dramas! I miss him so much! While I can't promise a new drama, at least I can give you a Gong Yoo fix in the form of his sweet romantic comedy Finding Mr. Destiny, costarring Im Soo Jung, which is this week's DramaFever movie night. Take a look!
Despite having a steady suitor, whose proposal she rejects, Seo Ji Woo (Im Soo Jung) continues to be haunted by a whirlwind romance she had years ago in India. Concerned his daughter will end up a spinster, Colonel Seo forces Ji Woo to seek the services of an agency specialized in locating lost loves, which is run by Han Gi Joon (Gong Yoo), a goofy and idealistic romantic. But faced with Ji Woo's crassness and cynicism, Gi Joon quickly discovers dealing with his client is far more difficult than tracking down her mysterious lost love.
Aww, didn't that trailer look good? It looks like Im Soo Jung's character is feisty and Gong Yoo's character is like an adorable puppy. I can't wit to see their chemistry develop!
If nothing else, Finding Mr. Destiny should win an award for cutest movie posters ever, right?
Tune in this weekend for this sweet and touching romantic comedy right HERE on DramaFever!

Han Zi Reinvented: The Rhythm of Chinese Script
features seven Chinese artists (all living in the United States) who have taken traditional Chinese calligraphy and in thought-provoking and inventive ways transformed it using techniques and conventions they have learned from the relatively young traditions of contemporary Western art and culture: Chih-Cheng Chang, Wenda Gu, Betty Lee, Bovey Lee, Lampo Leong, Morris Wang and Xu Bing
Xu Bing uses a computer to create a new language resembling Chinese characters, Wenda Gu translates English words phonetically into Chinese and forms the resulting characters in neon, Chih-Cheng Chang's characters are made by photographing the human body, Bovey Lee creates calligraphy-like lines with digital images of her own body, in Betty Lee's DVD, characters are fragmented and reconstructed; Lamp Leong deconstructs calligraphies to the point that the resulting paintings have been compared to Abstract Expressionism; and Morris Wang moves calligraphic gestures into sculpture.
"We find here an insightful and elegant exhibition that examines and celebrates the melding of East and West." (From an essay by Mike McGee, in the exhibition catalogue)

Choi Jin-hyuk, Lee Ji-hoon in upcoming drama
This summer's tvN drama I Need Romance was the first time I found myself wanting to slap the lead actress for picking the wrong guy. I know the whole story about the second male syndrome, but couldn't Choi Jin-hyuk beat the curse and get the girl? He was clearly the better choice! He was charismatic, adorable, successful with a hot bod to boot! But, alas, you can't get around that darn curse.
To appease my anguish, Choi will be back on SBS's upcoming daily drama My Daughter the Flower with Lee Ji-hoon, Jin Sae-yeon and Sohn Eun-suh. The drama is about the relationship between a mother and daughter, who share no blood relation. Jin Sae-yeon plays the daughter, whose name Kkot-nim (Flower) is a play on the drama title; she works at a rehab hospital.

* Annual profits exceed market expectations
* Company to launch NZ$40 million share buyback
* Shares hit all-time high (Adds share buyback and analyst comment)
By Colin Packham
SYDNEY, Aug 23 (Reuters) - New Zealand's a2 Milk Co Ltd said annual profit tripled to record levels on soaring demand for its infant formula products in China and also unveiled a share buyback that propelled its stock, already an investor favourite, higher.
A2 is widely viewed as having made the right bets with its China strategy, placing informal "daigou" shopping agents at the centre of its distribution efforts, while some rivals have been caught out by new China's registration laws that caused many in the sector to dump their product.
Record earnings for a2 come amid a stronger dairy market, underpinned by a tightening of global supplies that pushed prices up 50 percent last year.
Its net profit after tax rose to NZ$90.6 million ($65.9 million) for the year ended June on a 56 percent jump in revenue, and beat an average estimate of NZ$81.5 million from three analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"Demand growth for dairy in developed markets will remain strong, reducing export surpluses and countering more sporadic demand growth in developing markets," said Michael Harvey, dairy analyst at Rabobank.
The better-than-expected results and a planned NZ$40 million share buyback lifted a2 shares as much as 5.9 percent to a record high of NZ$5.2.
Gains were later paired to NZ$5.1, giving the company a market value of some NZ$3.6 billion. The stock has rise roughly 140 percent this year alone.
Managing director Geoffrey Babidge said in a statement the company's profits had been aided by a close relationship with daigou who post its products to the mainland.
In contrast, Bellamy's Australia sought to sell directly to Asian consumers via e-commerce channels. But with products often more expensive than buying via a diagou, Chinese consumers largely shunned the Australian dairy brand.
A2 said China remained a key focus next year as it forecast "continued growth", but it said it was conscious of the potential harm to the sector caused by counterfeit infant formula.
The quality of milk and infant formula in China has been a sensitive topic after a series of scandals from 2008 when milk contaminated by the industrial chemical melamine killed at least six children and caused thousands to fall ill.

From West Virginia, USA:
During a fasting three hour glucose test, my daughter obtained the following results: fasting - 95 mg/dl [5.4 mmol/L]; two hours - 208 mg/dl [11.6 mmol/L]; and three hours - 48 mg/dl [2.7 mmol/L]. What does this mean?
She could be in the early stages of diabetes, especially if she is overweight and has beginning insulin resistance. She should have had simultaneous insulin levels drawn with the glucose levels to determine this. If she has acanthosis nigricans, high lipids, hypertension or polycystic ovary syndrome, this would also be associated with such early insulin resistance. The last value is actually hypoglycemic and this could represent excessive insulin production later in the test. You should consult with a pediatric endocrinologist for more detailed information and follow-up testing.

Submitting Data¶
To submit your test data to Treeherder, you have two options:
This is the new process Task Cluster is using to submit data to Treeherder. There is a Pulse Job Schema to validate your payload against to ensure it will be accepted. In this case, you create your own Pulse exchange and publish to it. To get Treeherder to receive your data, you would create a bug to have your Exchange added to Treeherder's config. All Treeherder instances can subscribe to get your data, as can local dev instances for testing.
While it is beyond the scope of this document to explain how Pulse and RabbitMQ work, we encourage you to read more about this technology on its Wiki page.
This is historically how projects and users have submitted data to Treeherder. This requires getting Hawk credentials approved by a Treeherder Admin. There is a client library to help make this easier. However, there is no schema to validate the payload against. But using the client to build your payload will help you get it in the accepted form. Your data only goes to the host you send it to. Dev instances can not subscribe to this data.
If you are establishing a new repository with Treeherder, then you will need to do one of the following:
- For GitHub repos: Adding a GitHub Repository
- For Mercurial repos: Add a new Mercurial repository
Using Pulse¶
To submit via a Pulse exchange, these are the steps you will need to follow:
1. Format your data¶
You should format your job data according to the Pulse Job Schema, which describes the various properties of a job: whether it passed or failed, job group/type symbol, description, log information, etc. You are responsible for validating your data prior to publishing it onto your exchange, or Treeherder may reject it.
2. Create your Exchange¶
With Pulse Guardian, you need to create your Pulse User in order to create your own Queues and Exchanges. There is no mechanism to create an Exchange in the Pulse Guardian UI itself, however. You will need to create your exchange in your submitting code. There are a few options available for that:
- MozillaPulse
- Kombu
- Or any RabbitMQ package of your choice
To test publishing your data to your Exchange, you can use the Treeherder management command publish_to_pulse. This is also a very simple example of a Pulse publisher using Kombu that you can use to learn to write your own publisher.
3. Register with Treeherder¶
Once you have successfully tested a round-trip through your Pulse exchange to your development instance, you are ready to have Treeherder receive your data.
Treeherder has to know about your exchange and which routing keys to use in order to load your jobs.
Submit a Treeherder bug with the following information:
"exchange": "exchange/my-pulse-user/v1/jobs",
"destinations": [
"projects": [
Treeherder will bind to the exchange looking for all combinations of routing
keys from
destinations and
projects listed above. For example with
the above config, we will only load jobs with routing keys of
If you want all jobs from your exchange to be loaded, you could simplify the config by having values:
"destinations": [
"projects": [
If you want one config to go to Treeherder Staging and a different one to go to Production, please specify that in the bug. You could use the same exchange with different routing key settings, or two separate exchanges. The choice is yours.
4. Publish jobs to your Exchange¶
Once the above config is set on Treeherder, you can begin publishing jobs to your Exchange and they will start showing in Treeherder.
You will no longer need any special credentials. You publish messages to the Exchange YOU own. Treeherder is now just listening to it.
Using the Python Client¶
There are two types of data structures you can submit with the Python client: job and push collections. The client provides methods for building a data structure that treeherder will accept. Data structures can be extended with new properties as needed, there is a minimal validation protocol applied that confirms the bare minimum parts of the structures are defined.
See the Python client section for how to control which Treeherder instance will be accessed by the client.
Authentication is covered here.
Job Collections¶
Job collections can contain test results from any kind of test. The
revision provided should match the associated
revision in the
push structure. The
revision is the top-most revision in the push.
job_guid provided can be any unique string of 50
characters at most. A job collection has the following data structure.
'project': 'mozilla-inbound',
'revision': '4317d9e5759d58852485a7a808095a44bc806e19',

If you want to use
TreeherderJobCollection to build up the job data
structures to send, do something like this:
from thclient import (TreeherderClient, TreeherderClientError,
tjc = TreeherderJobCollection()
for data in dataset:
tj = tjc.get_job()
tj.add_revision( data['revision'] )
tj.add_project( data['project'] )
tj.add_coalesced_guid( data['superseded'] )
tj.add_job_guid( data['job_guid'] )
tj.add_job_name( data['name'] )

tj.add_reason( data['reason'] )
tj.add_who( data['who'] )
tj.add_tier( 1 )
tj.add_submit_timestamp( data['submit_timestamp'] )
tj.add_start_timestamp( data['start_timestamp'] )
tj.add_end_timestamp( data['end_timestamp'] )
tj.add_machine( data['machine'] )
data['build']['os_name'], data['build']['platform'], data['build']['architecture']
data['machine']['os_name'], data['machine']['platform'], data['machine']['architecture']
tj.add_option_collection( data['option_collection'] )
tj.add_log_reference( 'buildbot_text', data['log_reference'] )
# data['artifact'] is a list of artifacts
for artifact_data in data['artifact']:
artifact_data['name'], artifact_data['type'], artifact_data['blob']
client = TreeherderClient(client_id='hawk_id', secret='hawk_secret')
client.post_collection('mozilla-central', tjc)
If you don't want to use
TreeherderJobCollection to build up the data structure
to send, build the data structures directly and add them to the collection.
from thclient import TreeherderClient, TreeherderJobCollection
tjc = TreeherderJobCollection()
for job in job_data:
tj = tjc.get_job(job)
# Add any additional data to tj.data here
# add job to collection
client = TreeherderClient(client_id='hawk_id', secret='hawk_secret')
client.post_collection('mozilla-central', tjc)
Job artifacts format¶
Artifacts can have name, type and blob. The blob property can contain any valid data structure accordingly to type attribute. For example if you use the json type, your blob must be json-serializable to be valid. The name attribute can be any arbitrary string identifying the artifact. Here is an example of what a job artifact looks like in the context of a job object:
'project': 'mozilla-inbound',
'revision': '4317d9e5759d58852485a7a808095a44bc806e19',
'job': {
'job_guid': 'd22c74d4aa6d2a1dcba96d95dccbd5fdca70cf33',
# ...
# other job properties here
# ...
'artifacts': [
"type": "json",
"name": "my first artifact",
'blob': {
k1: v1,
k2: v2,
'type': 'json',
'name': 'my second artifact',
'blob': {
k1: v1,
k2: v2,
A special case of job artifact is a "Job Info" artifact. This kind of artifact will be retrieved by the UI and rendered in the job detail panel. This is what a Job Info artifact looks like:
"blob": {
"job_details": [
"url": "https://www.mozilla.org",
"value": "website",
"content_type": "link",
"title": "Mozilla home page"
"value": "bar",
"content_type": "text",
"title": "Foo"
"value": "This is cool",
"content_type": "raw_html",
"title": "Cool title"
"type": "json",
"name": "Job Info"
All the elements in the job_details attribute of this artifact have a
mandatory title attribute and a set of optional attributes depending on
content_type. The
content_type drives the way this kind of artifact
will be rendered. Here are the possible values:
Text - This is the simplest content type you can render and is the one used by default if the content type specified is not recognised or is missing.
This content type renders as:
Link - This content type renders as an anchor html tag with the following format:
{{title}}: {{value}}
Raw Html - The last resource for when you need to show some formatted content.
Some Specific Collection POSTing Rules¶
Treeherder will detect what data is submitted in the
and generate the necessary artifacts accordingly. The outline below describes
what artifacts Treeherder will generate depending on what has been submitted.
See Schema Validation for more info on validating some specialized JSON data.
Via the
/jobs endpoint:
- Submit a Log URL with no
parse_statusset to "pending"
- This will generate
Bug suggestionsartifacts
- Current Buildbot workflow
- This will generate

Specifying Custom Log Names¶
By default, the Log Viewer expects logs to have the name of
at this time. However, if you are supplying the
text_log_summary artifact
yourself (rather than having it generated for you) you can specify a custom
log name. You must specify the name in two places for this to work.
- When you add the log reference to the job:
tj.add_log_reference( 'my_custom_log', data['log_reference'] )
- In the
text_log_summaryartifact blob, specify the
lognameparam. This artifact is what the Log Viewer uses to find the associated log lines for viewing.

Adding a GitHub Repository¶
The pushes from GitHub repos come to Treeherder via Pulse. The webhook to enable
this exists in the GitHub group
mozilla. (For example,
The following steps are required:
- Create a PR with the new repository information added to the fixtures file:
- Open a bug request to enable the webhook that will trigger pulse messages for
every push from your repo. Use the following information:
- Component: GitHub: Administration
- Ask to install the https://github.com/apps/taskcluster integration on your repositories
- List the repositories you want to have access to the integration
- Answer: Are any of those repositories private?
- State that this is only to get Pulse messages for integration into Treeherder

The California Supreme Court upheld a law on Thursday that would allow the dissolution of the state's redevelopment agencies, but struck down a bill that would have allowed the agencies to remain in business if they were willing to pay a percentage of their income into a fund to help pay the state's education costs.
The two bills — AB 1X26 and AB 1X27 — were approved as part of the budget process earlier this year.
"It is not a surprise to me that the court ruled as it did," said Lewis Feldman, chair of the Los Angeles office of national law firm Goodwin Procter. "Redevelopment agencies are a creature of the state Legislature and they were created by an act of legislation. And the court held they could be eliminated in the same manner."
The California Redevelopment Association and the League of California Cities, along with San Jose and Union City, filed a lawsuit in July to block the laws, saying they violate the state constitution. The defendants named in the suit included California finance director Ana Matosantos and Controller John Chiang.
Over the past several years, the Legislature has taken funds from the redevelopment agencies to bolster funding of the state's schools. In 2010, voters passed Proposition 22 to prevent the state from taking money from the agencies to make up state funding gaps.
The justices referred to Proposition 22 in their ruling, saying that it expressly forbids the Legislature from requiring such payments, which makes the second bill unconstitutional, because payments to the state can't be deemed "voluntary" if they are a requirement for continued operations of the agencies.
According to the state's reading of the law, when the agencies are shut down, the money to pay debts would be put in a special fund and bondholders would get paid, said H.D. Palmer, a spokesman for the Department of Finance. In this year's state budget, the state directed that $5 billion should go toward payments on the bond debt, Palmer said. The state expects to have $1.7 billion left after the bond payments are made to fund other state budget items. The state's 400 RDAs have $20 billion of bonds outstanding.
"Today's ruling by the Supreme Court upholds and confirms key elements of the state budget," Palmer said. "It marks a victory for the state's schools. It will redirect more than $1 billion to the state's schools this year and be an ongoing source of funding."
San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders said, "This money grab by the governor will have severe negative impacts on our neighborhoods and our economy for decades to come. We will begin working immediately with our state legislators to pass new laws giving us tools enabling reinvestment in our lower-income communities."
The California Redevelopment Association, a lobbying organization for redevelopment agencies, has been sending e-mails to its members saying it would not wait until the Supreme Court ruling to begin lobbying legislators, Feldman said.
Feldman thinks trading of redevelopment agency bonds will pick up in view of the Supreme Court's ruling.
"I don't think today's action affects the existing redevelopment obligations," Feldman said. "It is the new obligations that need to be analyzed carefully. The administrative procedures and aspects of local government need to be evaluated prior to the issuance of bonds, because basically the court said that redevelopment agencies can't issue bonds."

The Chief Herman W. Brice Fire Rescue Complex continues to support The Walk of Honor at the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Park. You can support it by sponsoring bricks on The Walk of supporting individuals, departments and organizations including the names of fallen firefighters. Bricks may also contain short messages chosen by their sponsors.
The bricks have three lines to provide ample opportunity to identify the name of the sponsor or firefighter, the years served and a line with rank, station, or nickname. For an added cost, specialized logos may be displayed.
Money raised by the Walk of Honor will be used towards the maintenance, repair and replacement cost associated with the Training Tower Banner and the Fire Lobby Museum. The Museum is situated on the second floor of Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Headquarters which overlooks the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Park.
Join the fire service tradition and support your local firefighters by purchasing a memorial brick in The Walk of Honor at the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Park
