What are age spots?
Age spots, also known as liver spots and solar lentigines, are flat tan, brown or black spots. They vary widely in size and usually appear in areas most exposed to the sun, like the face, hands, shoulders and arms. Age spots are very common in adults ages 50 and older; however, younger people can get them too, especially if they spend a lot of time in the sun without sunscreen.
Age spots occur when the top surface layer of the skin expands with more pigment and develops what can look like a large freckle. An age spot may appear by itself, or a few may be clustered together.
Are age spots harmful?
True age spots are harmless and can be left untreated. The best way to prevent age spots and maintain more youthful-looking skin is to avoid the sun and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.
However, brown spots and age spots can resemble precancers which are scaly, red elevations called actinic keratoses (AK). Dark spots, which may be skin cancer, may also appear to be lentigines. For these reasons, having any spot on your skin that has newly appeared evaluated by a dermatology provider is important.
How can you avoid getting age spots?
Below are tips for minimizing the risk of getting age or brown spots.
What are my treatment options?
While age spots are not harmful, depending on the location, they can be undesirable. For cosmetic purposes, age spots can be lightened with skin-bleaching products or removed. If you have age spots you want to have lightened or removed or are concerned about, schedule an appointment with a Valley of the Sun Dermatology provider today.

The puffs are poofed, ribbon trim is on, and the skirt is looking finished!
Tag: cosplay
Chobits cosplay – skirt progress
Just to prove that I have actually accomplished something since last blogging about this project! In fact, I've gotten more done than I thought, because the skirt is just about finished.
Chobits cosplay – part one
Well, I'm going to be quite busy with work stuff over the next few weeks, and most likely won't be doing much sewing. I should pick it up again sometime after February. In the meantime, though, I did get a bit of a start on my cosplays!
Katherine Pierce – Photos
I'm so excited to be making this post – here are the first photos of my wearing the Katherine Pierce gown this weekend, finally finished!
Vash the Stampede cosplay for ACen 2015
Okay, I haven't mentioned this cosplay since I really wasn't sure how it was going to turn out – but since ACen is, uh, this week, I better get blogging about it! Me and two of my sisters are going to ACen on Saturday in Trigun cosplay – and I get to be Vash the Stampede! (⊙ꇴ⊙)
Melody's pink ball gown from The Little Mermaid 2
My sister's pick for Anime Central this year was Melody in her pink ballgown from The Little Mermaid 2… and since there's nothing I love more than a big fluffy ballgown, I was excited to tackle this project, which I thought would be fairly easy. Rather, it should have been quite easy, but due to a combination of stress, extreme busyness, and tiredness and a lack of motivation on my part, this gown turned into a frustrating project that I had to slog through.
Katherine Pierce's green gown from The Vampire Diaries
Have you ever just seen a costume – in a picture, a movie, or read in a book – and knew at that first look that you were someday going to have that costume? Of course, there are tons of fabulous movie and TV show costumes that I would love to be able to make, but I definitely don't have the time or resources to ever get to everything on my dream costume list. But this costume would not let itself not be made.

During our executive coaching and transition programmes, we often find that senior leaders, though very successful, don't feel that they have accomplished everything they have wanted to. This can cause internal stress which manifests itself in many ways such as rash decision making, or poor relationship skills.
Often the first point of call is raising the Executive's awareness to this barrier to performance. Although it won't make the feeling go away, awareness of it can often lead to better choice of behaviour moving forward, ultimately creating higher performance at an individual, team and organisational level.
Increasing awareness of our thoughts is the gateway to overcoming our limiting beliefs. By first noticing our thought patterns and then deeply investigating them, we can understand where they come from and what beliefs underlie them. We can begin to see what stories we might be telling ourselves about what we can and cannot do. We can also begin to uncover where these stories might have originated. It is this investigative process of introspection that allows us to see through the deception of our limiting beliefs. Awareness is both the beginning and the end here. It is the beginning because awareness shines the light on what lies beneath our surface thoughts. It is the end because the very act of shining the light, by allowing us to know ourselves better, is what serves as the catalyst for personal change.

Today is Anton Chekhov's birthday. It is also the anniversary of the publication of George Calderon's translations of The Seagull and The Cherry Orchard on 29 January 1912.
Was this a coincidence? Probably not. The publisher, Grant Richards, was making a risky investment in this Russian dramatist and wanted to get everything right. George's approach to the publication was also fastidious. The text of Two Plays by Tchekhof had first been rejected by George's usual publisher, Smith, Elder. Top Edwardian 'art' publisher Richards had probably been persuaded to take it on thanks to his acquaintance with Kittie going back nearly twenty years. George completely revised the translation for Richards, making it more 'exact', as he told him, than the acting versions he had evolved before. He also supplied many footnotes, which are often a delight in themselves, and an introduction. Richards was meticulous about the pre-publication advertising of his books and in the Times Literary Supplement of 25 January 1915 enthused: 'Many readers will like the introduction as much as the plays. Mr Calderon is combative, lively — and he knows his Russia and his theatre. In fact he's written the deuce of a preface!'
The loser from all this, for the next eleven years at least, was Constance Garnett. In the spring of 1906 she had started translating The Cherry Orchard 'on spec', as she wrote her husband, because she had heard that the Moscow Arts were coming to London that summer. The Russian company did not come, so she submitted the translation to the Stage Society, in which by then George was active. This probably gave him the idea of translating The Seagull, which he directed with success at Glasgow in 1909. Eventually the Stage Society put on Garnett's translation of The Cherry Orchard on 28 and 29 May 1911. It was a famous disaster. Unfortunately, in a display of the tactlessness to which he was prone, George then told the Chairman of the Stage Society's Council of Management that he thought the translation was 'wretched' and 'now no-one would be willing to take up a Tchehov play anywhere as this poor translation would set the public against it'. These words are taken from a letter of 6 June 1911 written by Constance Garnett, to whom the conversation had been reported. Her laudable response was to try to publish her Cherry Orchard 'at once' and 'not for a moment consider Calderon's feelings'. But she was too late: George had already submitted his book to Smith, Elder.
All this is the background of events to pieces about George's Chekhov translations and Introduction that I shall post during a 'lacuna' in the first fortnight of February.

How To Exit At A Billion: Don't Think About Exiting
"It's what a lot of founders dream about—whether or not they say it out loud—and it's the easy way to validate that a city's startup ecosystem is growing and thriving. But according to Cultivation Capital general partner John True, it shouldn't be the main focus of an entrepreneur.
Yep, the exit. Specifically, the billion-dollar exit. The moment when an investor rids their stake in a company because the company has successfully been acquired or has gone public. In his impressive career, True has been on the management teams of a few companies that have exited at a billion, so his advice is worth noting."

Nonfiction: Memoir; Nonfiction: History/Current Events; Nonfiction: Active Life; Nonfiction: Travel/Adventure
Sharon Grant Wildwind is a Story Circle member who lives in Calgary, Alberta. She is a nurse-educator who does a great deal of technical writing, but has also found time to write a romance, a mystery, short stories, and (of course) her journal. Dreams is her first published work.
Sharon Wildwind's memoir begins on May 14, 1970 and ends exactly a year later—no ordinary year, in no ordinary place. It is a life-changing year that Sharon spends on assignment in hospitals in Pleiku and Qui Nhon Vietnam, where she sleeps in one of the eight nurses' hooches, a tin-and-wood building with screens and sandbags, and spends her waking hours in Intensive Care, the Emergency Room, or on the wards. It's a tough life, but as Sharon's daily journal shows, it's a life that demands courage, and more than that, the honesty to reveal fear, at least in her journal:
May 30. I've discovered I can fly half-way around the world, lie on the floor of a bus waiting for an ambush, go to sleep during a mortar attack. The worst thing that has happened to me so far is losing my duffel bag because I might have had to borrow clothes that would make me look silly and fatter. People scare me. Jim scared me. Ruth scares me. Captain B. scares me. The doctors scare me. Even the corpsmen scare me. I'm most afraid of not living up to my own expectations. And I will never let anyone see how scared I am. This is a place of courage and that's all I intend to show to the world.
And that's what Sharon shows us, on every page of her journal—the courage to face death and dying, the horrible chaos of war, the loss of a man she almost loves. But her journal also reveals the courage it takes to face the grinding routine of everyday life: living with the rain and mud, cleaning the hospital, working fourteen nights in a row, waiting for the mail, waiting for a day off. Sharon never writes in generalities; everything is specific, concrete, detailed:
Dec. 17. Like faint background music I am learning the rhythms of the ward, the changing shifts, the coming and going of the patients, the rattle of the medicine cart's stubborn wheel, the endless card games, the sounds of football and Captain Kirk, the Viet Namese children, the lewd remarks, the rounds, the "Good Morning, Viet Nam" that start each day. It's like a waltz, slow and flowing in three-quarter time. I've been dancing to this music a long time now. I want to keep dancing as long as the men do...
It's a cliché to say that war is brutal, but there are no cliches in this journal of real experiences in a terrible place and time that nobody wants to remember. But we must remember and acknowledge it, or we will be doomed to repeat it. Sharon Wildwind's journal is a window into an experience that is too horrible to remember, too powerful to forget.

Hot Topic / Question Right Now.
Breast Implant Safety
QUESTION: What happened to the breast implant controversy?
ANSWER: As you may remember, the plastic surgery world was turned upside down in 1992 when numerous media reports of breast implant problems appeared. These news bullitens essentially described implants as time bombs in a woman's chest. Three years later this story was old news for the media and basically disappeared. Well...what happened?
First, numerous studies done by non-plastic surgeons were published in reputable journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine. These studies showed no evidence that implants would increase the risk of developing any illness. The media did not report those studies, but went on to the next hot story.
So don't believe everything that you read or hear. The good news is that the truth does come out eventually. Today we continue to use saline and silicone breast implants and breast augmentation remains one of the most successful plastic surgery procedures done!

Little Saigon is a long-favourite restaurant and bar located at Clarke Quay, Singapore's famed nightlife hub. Serving all the Vietnamese classics (think pho, lemon beef, spring rolls, roasted duck…), the relaxed dining vibe here during the day turns more lively as the evening goes on, with a house band belting out Top 40 hits well into the night.
Décor at Little Saigon lives up to its name, with obvious references to Vietnam's second city such as hanging lanterns, colonial-esque wooden surfaces and generous helping of colour to brighten the whole place up. They are located right in the middle of Clarke Quay's action (at Block E, underneath the bubble-like roof). Their tempting happy hour also gets you 50% off all beers, cocktails and house pours every day when you arrive before 20:00.
- Singapore Zoo Admission with Roundtrip Transfer
- Singapore Zoo & River Safari with Transfer
- Singapore F1 Street Circuit Driving Experience
- Adventure Cove Waterpark™ 1-Day Pass with Hotel Pickup
- Jungle Breakfast with Orangutans at Singapore Zoo
- Skip-the-Line: Night Safari Admission with Transfer
- Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands & River Cruise Tour
- Chinatown at Night with Dinner & Cruise
- Singapore Zoo Admission
- Gardens by the Bay Admission
Food wise, you'd be hard-pushed to find a more comprehensive menu of all the Vietnamese staples in Singapore, as well as a few more fusion-y dishes thrown in too. Classic pho (noodle soup) dishes are around $18-20, which is not cheap, but they do use premium ingredients and the portions are big. More finger-friendly food for sharing includes their grilled prawn skewers ($14), chicken wings ($8) or just go for their popular 'Saigon Sharing Platter' (fried spring rolls, sugarcane prawns, pork meatballs, fried seasoned calamari, prawn crackers - $45).
Following in line with the name and décor, drinks, particularly the cocktails, take on more of that Vietnamese edge. Signatures include the 'Saigon Kick' (vodka, pineapple juice, mint, sugar, bitters) and the 'Hanoi Martini' which adds orange curacao, lemongrass and lime to the usual gin base. Cocktails are priced at around $15-17, so are beers by the pint, shooters and house mixes.
To sum, reasons to visit Little Saigon are threefold; firstly, their Vietnamese menu holds up well against any other Clarke Quay restaurants and is priced sensibly; secondly, if you arrive before 20:00 you're going to be paying less than $10 for a pint or cocktail (bargain!); and finally, the quality live band in the evening really does transform this place into fun party place good for a mixed crowd, young and old – even if the Top 40 covers are a bit cheesy.
Little Saigon Singapore
- Opening Hours: Mon - Thu 15:00 - 01:00, Fri 15:00 - 03:00, Sat 12:00 - 03:00 and Sun 12:00 - 01:00

The process is called embedding. WordPress can embed a wide variety of files from other providers, including:
You can see the full list of providers on this webpage:
Images seem so simple in Word and PowerPoint.
You import or paste an image, drag to resize it, and you're good to go.
Not so much. Word and PowerPoint hide a lot of complexity from you. That can bite you if you try to work the same way in WordPress with images that you did in Word.
Read our article on resizing images to learn how resolution works, and an easy way to resize images so they'll fit well inside your WordPress page.

Supanova Comic Con and Gaming has announced their first guest for 2018. And what a huge guest it is to be, especially for us Doctor Who fans! None other than the 12th Doctor himself, Peter Capaldi will be coming to the Melbourne and Gold Coast shows in 2018.
The announcement was made via a live Facebook video after the final Supanova show for the year in Adelaide over the weekend. Supanova made the announcement surrounded by Daleks from the Australian Dalek Builders Union (who are based in Adelaide).
Of course, providing Peter doesn't have any filming commitments pop-up at that time, this will certainly be an exciting time for the Doctor Who Club of Victoria.
Watch this space and our Social Media pages for more information on what the club will be bringing to Supanova. And follow up on all of the Supanova news at www.supanova.com.au.
Supanova will take place in Melbourne on the weekend of April 20-22 in 2018.

Pet Connection: Here are 6 ways kids without pets can be involved with animals
When I met with my accountant recently, he mentioned that his 14-year-old son really wanted a golden retriever. Problem is, my accountant and his wife don't especially want a dog, especially one that would be their responsibility when their son goes to college in four years.
"I wish there was some way we could have a dog just for the short term," he said.
Usually, when parents who don't want a pet ask me about getting one for the kids, I tell them to hold firm: If parents, who have ultimate responsibility for the animal, aren't interested, I think it's best for them not to give in to the pleading. In this case, though, I had a suggestion.
"Why don't you look into raising a guide dog puppy? You get the pup when he's 8 weeks old, and he goes for formal training when he's 13 to 15 months old. That would give your son a taste of dog ownership, but you wouldn't be left holding the leash when he leaves home." (Visit guidedogs.com for more information.)
The following options are some other compromises that may meet the needs of kids and parents alike.
Read to shelter pets: When kids read to animals, the activity provides socialization and human interaction for dogs and cats and improves children's reading skills. Shelters that offer such programs include Animal Rescue League of Berks County, Pa/; Bitter Root Humane Association in Hamilton, Mont.; and Panhandle Animal Shelter in Ponderay, Idaho. Contact your local shelter, library or public school to see if a program is available in your area, or if they'd like to start one.
Volunteer at a shelter or sanctuary: Depending on a child's age, he or she may be able to volunteer to help feed, groom or walk shelter pets. Parents may be required to participate as well to provide supervision. Even if they can't volunteer hands-on with animals at a shelter, kids can raise money with lemonade stands or bake sales or help with set-up and take-down at adoption events.
Go to camp: At Animal Friends Canine Good Manners Camp in Pittsburgh, kids spend five days working with camp counselors to teach shelter dogs the basics of good behavior so they'll be more adoptable. Critter Camp at Helen Woodward Animal Center in San Diego offers daylong and weeklong programs that teach animal handling and socialization and let kids explore animal-related careers. Another program to check out is Friends for Life Camp through SPCA LA in Los Angeles. Kids who are interested in becoming veterinarians may want to attend "vet camp."
Among the veterinary schools that offer camps of up to a week are Auburn, Colorado State, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Purdue, Tufts, University of Georgia, University of Pennsylvania and University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Camps are geared to children of different ages. Search "camps for animal lovers" or "vet camp" to find other options.
Foster kittens: Shelters always need foster homes for kittens, especially during late spring and summer, which is known as "kitten season."
The buzz
A kitten found inside a mailbox in Edwardsburg, Mich., has a poetic ending to her story: She was adopted by a retired mail carrier. Dan and Millie Shaw were looking for a kitten after the death of their 17-year-old cat, T.J. Now named Mimi, the black and white kitten was taken in by Elkhart County, Ind., organization Here Kitty, Kitty, which treated her for fleas, ear mites, an eye infection and a broken tail. The Shaws heard her story, and Dan knew he wanted to deliver her to a new life.
Pet Connection is produced by a team of pet-care experts headed by veterinarian Dr. Marty Becker and Kim Campbell Thornton, author of many pet-care books.

If you're a homeowner looking to downsize, you'll need to explore your mortgage options from old house to new home. But what are your choices if you're already locked into your current mortgage? Porting might be the perfect option for you.
What is Mortgage Portability?
In short, mortgage portability means you take your existing mortgage and carry it with you to your new home. This is good news if you have a great interest rate on your current home because you can take it with you. In the case of downsizing, in particular, there are a couple of points discuss with your broker.
How Does it Work?
Firstly, you'll need to check if you are able to port. This option varies by lender, and your broker will be able to tell you which lenders allow it and which don't.
Secondly, you'll want to discuss if it is, in fact, the best idea to port your mortgage. The broker can give you an idea of current mortgage rates versus your old one, and help you determine if porting is the financially sensible option.
If your mortgage is portable, you can discuss bringing the exact same mortgage rate to your new home. You have signed a contract with your bank saying you will pay back said amount and they agree to port it over. This has its benefits as we mentioned because you get to keep your old mortgage rate, which may be better than what is currently being offered.
In the event your mortgage isn't portable, you will have to pay the penalty that comes with breaking your mortgage early. In this case, your lender can advise you as to the best interest rates when seeking a mortgage for your new home.
Porting Pros and Cons
- There is a possibility you can keep an interest rate that is now unavailable.
- Little to no penalties for those downsizing
- Option to change your mortgage rate by blending the two rates together
- Your mortgage may not be portable in which case you will have to pay the full amount to break it.
- If you are downsizing you may have to make a prepayment on your old mortgage before porting over.
- Porting only makes sense if your old rate is better than the new one offered.

Do you consider God's promises to be sweet? Usually when we think of sweetness, we think of something edible like the creamy goodness of a chocolate fudge brownie topped with vanilla ice cream or a handful of sugar-dusted gummy bears or even… I'm getting carried away. But to make my point, sweet things leave you satisfied and in many ways God's promises do too.
Psalm 19:10 (NIV): "They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb."
God's promises are sweet because He keeps them. People will make promises to you day in and day out. Some are kept, many are broken, yet you can rest in knowing that God does exactly what He says He will do. (1 Thessalonians 5:24)
God's sweet promises cannot be blocked by anything! No situation or person (including you) can stop them from being fulfilled. Granted, it may not happen in the way or timing you expect, but God is still faithful. He accomplishes His promises in a unique manner. You will learn to trust Him and He will get the glory! (Habakkuk 2:3)
The enemy will try to convince you that conforming to certain societal standards is the only way to enjoy the sweetness of God's promises. But God created you to be different! You do not need to change who you are in order to fulfill His work whether it be your physical features, personality, or values. Since when do we need permission from another person to walk into God's calling on our lives? God is in control. (James 4:12)
Also, here are a few reminders:
- Being 35 and single is not an indication that you will never get married and have a family of your own.
- You can run a profitable and successful company and still foster community over competition.
- You do not need to relax your natural hair to become a doctor, lawyer, or corporate professional.
- You are never too old to go back to school and pursue a degree.
- You do not need to compromise your identity in Christ to pursue a "once in a lifetime opportunity"!
Do not rush, worry, or fear. Taste the sweetness of God's promises. He will allow you to do all that He has purposed you to do!

Douglas students show off spelling chops
February 1, 2018
From "concierge" to "cauliflower," students from grades six to eight navigated difficult word spellings in the Douglas County School District Spelling Bee at Carson Valley Middle School on Wednesday.
The sixth-grade winner was Izaak Cervantes from Zephyr Cove Elementary School and the alternate was Rolf Larson from Carson Valley Middle School. The 7th grade winner was Sarah Thomas from Carson Valley Middle School and the alternate was Alex Wood from Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School. The 8th grade winner was Ruby Jacobsen from Carson Valley Middle School and the alternate was Mia Bertolone from Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School.
A total of 31 students competed on Wednesday from Carson Valley Middle School, Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School, George Whittell High School, Zephyr Cove Elementary School, Grace Christian Academy and a home-school student.
Pau-Wa-Lu Librarian Susan Bullard said the words at the spelling bee were challenging and the students were pushed hard to try to spell them correctly.
"This is a very important event. It stresses the importance of language and knowing what words mean."-Susan Bullard,Pau-Wa-Lu librarian

Bullard said she sent her students home with study packets. Kristy Reck, librarian from Carson Valley Middle School, said some of her students had been studying for weeks.
"It was a really great contest and great fun for the parents, teachers and the students," Bullard said.
The competitors at Wednesday's spelling bee had already advanced through their school level competitions.
"This is a very important event," said Romelle Cronin, Douglas County School District education services executive director. "It stresses the importance of language and knowing what words mean."
Bullard added that she heard her students saying they didn't know the meanings of the words they spelled incorrectly.
Winners of the district wide spelling bee advance to the Nevada State Spelling Bee in Las Vegas in March.

We need sleep each and every night. You must get a minimum of 7 hours of good sleep every 24 hours. If you don't get that amount or more, your health will suffer. Read these tips for better sleep.
If you have already done all you know how to do to fight insomnia and it's not working, then you might want to consider getting your doctor to prescribe something. Talk to your physician to get some advice on which product may be right for you.
To better sleep and prevent insomnia, be sure you have a very comfy bedroom. Adjust the levels of noise and light to allow your body to relax, so you can go to sleep on your own. Bright alarm clock displays should be dimmed or turned away from your face. Get yourself a great mattress that offers firm support.
While milk that is warm can help with insomnia, some people aren't able to drink dairy products. You might even want to drink a cup of tea. That tea is all natural, and it really does relax the entire body. Drive to a health store and ask which teas are best for sleeping.
As frustrating as insomnia may be, attempting to force sleep is not the answer. Instead of attempting to sleep at certain times, only sleep when you feel sleepy. If you force it, you will be even more stressed.
Smoking is not only bad for your health, but bad for sleep, too. The stimulating effects of smoking cause an increased heart rate. Quitting is a must. Improving the quality of your sleep is just one of many benefits.
There is a direct link between exercise and better sleep. But, you should avoid exercising before bed time. If you plan to exercise, make sure you do so at least three hours prior to bedtime so it won't affect your sleep.
Consider how your bed is working for or against you. Do you have sheets that are comfortable? Are your pillows giving you proper support? Is your mattress old, saggy or uncomfortable? You may need a new mattress. It can assist you in falling asleep because you will be more comfortable and relaxed.
It is essential that you have as little stress as possible bothering you before you sleep. Attempt relaxation methods that might help you sleep. Your body and mind must be relaxed in order for you to get quality sleep. Techniques like deep breathing, meditation, and imagery can help you out.
Warm Milk
Drinking some warm milk right before bed might just be what the doctor ordered. Warm milk makes you sleepy because it releases melanin. It helps to promote relaxation naturally, and can relax you mentally as you remember this approach from your childhood.
If you experience insomnia, relegate your workouts to earlier in the day. Vigorous exercise energizes your body and disturbs your sleep. Be sure to reserve the last 2 hours before bed to wind down. You will sleep better if you are calm before going to bed.
Have you felt that you get a runny or stopped up nose when lying down? Identify the source. It's possible that allergies are to blame, in which case an antihistamine may help. These medications also have the effect of causing drowsiness. You may want to explore getting rid of allergens via air filters or by laundering pillows.
The most important thing you can do when you face any sort of impediment is to do your research to find out how to get over it. Begin with the information presented here and continue in your search for answers. These tips are useful, but you have more to learn.

Ostensibly this documentary film is just about the ongoing financial crisis that started in 2007. It charts the immediate causes through a lending bubble, although it does not address the causes of that bubble in international trade imbalances and the choices made by governments. That, as they say, is another story. But the real strengths of this particular story is its success in getting interviews with some of the big names in government, regulation and business as well as using public archive sequences to demonstrate the corruption of politics, regulation and academia that allowed this particular crisis to happen.
Of course the film-maker has selected material to present a case but, nonetheless, you hear from the protagonists own mouths their sense of entitlement, their vested interests and their lack of contrition or self-awareness. This is very much a governance issue. The lessons do not just apply to financial services in the USA but hold up a mirror to corporate dysfunction worldwide. We see alpha males (and they are virtually all males), at the top of the tree, who obtain influence over their supposed regulators (in the USA, even becoming the regulators) and, of course, don't see the need for regulation. Their world view of how things work is guided by their own vested interests so, of course, they believe in efficient markets and light regulation and, having captured top roles in academia they shut down debate and marginalise ideas that contradict their own.
One of the best sequences in the film is the interview with Glenn Hubbard, economist and Dean of Columbia University Business School. He was an adviser to George W Bush on deregulation and is member or adviser on many committees, including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It asks him about his substantial business consultancies and the conflicts of interests this raises with his academic and government advisory roles. Instead of addressing this legitimate issue of public interest he becomes aggressive and defensive. Asked why an important advisory paper he penned, supporting the strength of Icelandic banks and written just before the implosion of the economy of that country, failed to mention that he had been paid for it, he failed to show any embarrassment. When it was pointed out to him that his on-line cv on the Columbia website wrongly stated the title of this paper as addressing the "Instability" of Icelandic banks instead of the "Stability" he lamely blames a typo and, again, shows neither concern nor embarrassment at the impression this gives of dishonesty.
All this is relevant to corporate governance. The unconstrained alpha male will not always seek self-interest at the expense of the multitude, but it only takes a few to wreak untold damage. We need balances, transparency and accountability to protect the common good.
See the film. Read "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism" by Ha-Joon Chang. Keep an open and critical mind on both but realise how important good governance is and how easily corruption takes hold of a poorly protected system.
PS This is a blog about governance not about cinema...however...with the Oscars just announced I feel driven to observe that while Inside Job is a very good film it is nowhere near as original as its rival Exit Through The Giftshop. I guess it won the award because the voters wanted to comment on the message rather than on the film-making.

Lately I received a lot of wedding invitation..Bestfriends,labmates...Alhamdulillah I'm happy for them..But am I ready?I'm 24 this year and maybe another 2 or 3 years I will finally reach that step too.
Everytime I think about that, I feel nervous.I want to settle down with the man I love,and most importantly the man that will love me too.More than I do.For me, in marriage what important is 1:Barakah and 2:Love.I'm not saying that money is not important.But you have to get things in perspective.In proportion.Love is the thing.Not status.Not money.Because as long as you love each other, you will try your best to please your partner.To make sure they live a comfortable life. But how confident I am to believe if that person is the one??
Marriage is a lifetime decision. For the past 6 years, I've been together with him, whom Insyaallah will be my future husband. I never betrayed him and will never as long as i'm with him. We both face ups and downs, we try sort out things in our life yet quarrels seems to be part of it.And thats make me afraid of commitment namely marriage. Still I love him and want to marry him( blushing) EHEM.Cough cough, straightened my shirt collar n lets get serious back.It's not that I don't want to get married but its the life after it I'm afraid of. I've seen so many couple that hardly talk to each other. I understand that. I'm not saying all, but sometimes guys tend to ignore when their wife get hurt or sulking.They just thought its not their problem and it will fade by time.But hurt, anger and resentment builds when you ignore the signs of problems in your relationship.Sounds like Doctor love right?
I just hope when the time comes, I will be ready so do my partner. I just hope marriage will lead us to a happy life in this world and in afterlife.May our marriage end up in Jannah and full of barakah.Seems like I'm getting married soon right?Nah..No money no talk.hihi^.^
