Why social entrepreneurship has become a distraction: it's mainstream capitalism that needs to change
Pamela Hartigan, Director of the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship at Oxford's Saïd Business School, is having second thoughts about the impact of social entrepreneurs.
The first time I heard the term "social entrepreneur" I thought it referred to business people who liked to party. That was about twenty years ago, when the term was just beginning to surface, said to have been coined by Bill Drayton, founder of Ashoka. Ashoka was the first entity that identified and supported such individuals – innovators with a "bold idea" aimed at changing a system that was at the root of a major social or environmental problem.
Twenty years ago I fell in love with "social entrepreneurship", its promise, and most of all, the stories of the champions that practiced this approach. They didn't take "it can't be done" as a deterrent – in fact, as one of them described to me, "'it's impossible' is our clarion call to action". As the first Managing Director of the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, an entity supported by World Economic Forum's founder Klaus Schwab and his wife, Hilde, I spent eight years identifying, celebrating and supporting such individuals, providing them with opportunities to enter the coveted corporate enclave that is the annual meeting of the WEF at Davos – which in turn gave them access to networks of power they had never been able to tap. Many of these social entrepreneurs formed strong and lasting relationships with members of the corporate C suite, heads of philanthropic foundations and the media leaders that attend Davos. It was difficult not to become infected with the bug of "social entrepreneurship".
The Schwab Foundation certainly was not the only social entrepreneurship organization on the scene. A host of other organizations were created at around the same time, including Echoing Green, the Skoll Foundation, the Omidyar Network, Acumen, Mulago, to name just a few. These were primarily based in the USA, but the UK quickly followed suit along with countries on the European continent, Asia, Latin America, Africa and Australia. Governments, led by the UK, embraced "social enterprise" as the "third way" – income-generating charities that did not depend wholly on public coffers but dealt with the increasing number of social problems that defied government solutions.
My main concern about this viewpoint is that it stripped the notion of innovation and systems change – the essence of social entrepreneurial endeavour – right out of the approach. In the UK and those countries that have followed, social enterprises have become part of the "social enterprise industrial complex", sub-contractors to government and feeding into a dysfunctional system. But that is for another blog.
The point is, all of a sudden, social entrepreneurship was everywhere and everyone wanted to be one. But there was one question that was raised at every national and international gathering of social entrepreneurs. As former President Bill Clinton noted in a speech about the challenge of school reform "Nearly every problem has been solved by someone somewhere. The frustration is that we can't seem to replicate [those solutions] anywhere else." Why is it that the only system-changing approach that has managed to go to scale is microfinance? Yet we forget that it took 30 years and an estimated US$20 billion in subsidies from major foundations and individual philanthropists to transform microfinance from an undefined effort sitting between philanthropy, aid and the market, to something much closer to mainstream investing.
This begs the question as to whether the only way social entrepreneurship will scale is by becoming part of the mainstream market system. As someone who is now working in a business school environment, this idea carries significant weight.
I do believe that transformational systems change will never be achieved on a massive scale by non-profit organizations or even by well-meaning "hybrids". I very much
believe that the way forward is through business. And so I have come to feel increasingly uncomfortable with the term "social entrepreneurship" and its main actor, the "social entrepreneur".
But the reason is not because I have bought into the notion that capitalism as we now practice it is the solution – but because I firmly believe that every entrepreneur has to be a "social entrepreneur". The way business has operated in the last 50 years must be disrupted because we will not survive as a society or a planet if we do not tear down the walls that compartmentalise economic, social and environmental activity. That is why I am now working in business schools. The way we approach business education has to change.
There is no doubt that the term "social entrepreneurship" served its purpose at one point in time, mainly because we needed to highlight what type of entrepreneurial practice we were referring to – but today it only serves to further dichotomise entrepreneurial practice into the "social" and the "commercial" ("non-social"?). It creates a false separation between "this is where we make money, and this is where we do good". And that is EXACTLY what is wrong with capitalism today.
It is hard for us who have been born and raised under capitalism and the large corporation to reflect on the fact that it was only relatively recently – not many centuries ago – that humankind finally began to achieve a surplus, something more than the necessities for survival.
The central precept of all early corporations that began to take shape around the 16th century was that even though they were chartered as private entities and possessed special privileges and monopoly rights, they were still expected to carry out activities with a public purpose. That has changed and needs to be revisited if the world is to advance.
There is no doubt that the modern corporation as we know it today has empowered individual genius and bestowed great social benefits. Yet it has also done social harm. Many of the ills of modern life – non-sustainable levels of personal and institutional debt, toxic air and water, workplace injury, loss of livelihoods for communities, political bribery – can be traced to corporate lack of responsibility to one or more constituencies. This is not intentional. No one wants to cause poverty, pollution, disease, unemployment and corruption. Rather, they want to make profits. But in that pursuit, they may find anti-social behaviour pays. To achieve profits in the short term, corporations exact a "social and environmental price" and that price is high and rising.
The key to sustainable capitalism is reasonable profits as opposed to maximizing profits. In the current system, a segment of society is trying to maximize profits without concern for the impact on the well being of the society as a whole, while another segment of social organizations have to deal with the fall out. The system is not working.
Fortunately, there are a growing number of people, particularly among the young, who embrace the notion of "entrepreneurship for society" rather than commercial or social entrepreneurship. They are not waiting until they are 50 years old when they have "made their money" and can "give back". I am optimistic that through the new breed young professionals, we can go back to the future and base our economies on activities that uphold social and environmental goals without eschewing financial sustainability.

No question that we need to move away from the notion in capitalism that the "business of business is business".
The other takeaway is that more and more for-profit businesses are focused on societal issues as core. This differs from "conscious capitalism" where social responsibility is important. It's somewhat difficult to measure the rise of these organizations because of the noise generated by large company CSR PR, and the impact of very large charities. I don't think socents are distractions – more of an exploration of business models towards maturing of social responsibility. (More at http://www.freebalance.com/blog/?p=1125).
Miguel Pantoja says:
Inspiring and clarifying post. Even more valuable when considering Ms Hartigan's background. Changing "the way we approach business education" is paramount but we should reform capitalism itself. Otherwise we will find the social-versus-commercial entrepreneurship discordance again, but this time between society-aware business education and the-winner-takes-it-all real business.
E.F. Schumacher's "Small is Beautiful" was published in 1973. Its subtitle was "A Study of Economics as if People Mattered". More than 40 years later it seems that people matters to an increasing but still too small number of economists.
Daniel says:
Very glad someone is bringing this up, someone who's opinion can influence others. Whenever I mention anything along these lines in social enterprise circles I get looked at as if I was speaking in tongues.
Dave says:
While I agree with the general thrust of the post, I think it leaves out one important point. Capitalism always exists within the more general framework of the governmental, legal, and regulatory framework. Capitalist will always try to "maximize" on the playing field they are given. There is nothing wrong with that. It's that ambition that drives innovation and progress.
But I think it's fanciful to believe that capitalists (or budding capitalists) can, or even should be taught that their goal should be "reasonable" profits. Yes, maybe that should be the goal, but defining the problem that way is a recipe for failure. Why? because capitalism is essentially about competition. So long as their are any actors in the market that drive to maximize profits, the others will follow suit.
The issue really is instilling values within the business community so that it is willing to accept or even advocate for a somewhat altered playing field. This means an increased focus on incorporating social costs and benefits in business calculations — showing how altering the playing field actually makes (or keeps) the pie bigger. A example of this is the recent study that came out on all of the economic costs associated with climate change. The hope is that the business community will join the consensus that "something" must be done. But what does that mean? It means that the business community will accept and participate in the crafting of a cap and trade system or some other change in the playing field that will address the problem (I'm just using cap and trade as an possible example. Don't get hung up on the specifics of that policy).
Businesses will always attempt to maximize profits (it's the DNA of capitalism). But teaching business leaders to view the playing field differently (and, therefore, accept modifications to it) can be an effective tools in mitigating capitalism's potential downsides.
I certainly applaud Ms. Hartigan's efforts in that regard.
Duncan Green says:
Yep, I found myself wondering what else would be needed beyond re-education. Regulation for starters. Pamela says she agrees, but did not go into it in the post
Lizzie Spring says:
A year in to running a tiny soc ent designed to be an enjoyable way to bring a handful of middle-aged unwaged women out of poverty, I am swamped by would be participants. The levels of rage, despair, grief and imposed helplessness many live with, astonish and scare me. This is in my own Inner London community, five minutes from my home.
I think I have become aware as at no other time in my 35 years in community work,of how cruel our society has become. The idea started in the 1980's that any mischance or difficulty is the result of a failure of will or of enough positive thinking, means anyone stumbling or lost can be happily despised and ignored.
The women I meet through sew Portobello are mainstream people, knocked off course by redundancy, illness, bereavement, the need to care unpaid over decades for spouses or relatives, or just kept down by never having had much education.
There are no mainstream non-stigmatising preventions services left because of "austerity" cuts. Yet running as a business however social, is just not enough to offer the support that is wanted. Don't know the answer, but maybe we can at least share thinking about the question – how to go forward?
Jill Poet says:
Thanks Pamela. Great article that very much echoes my own thoughts.
And Daniel, I know exactly how you feel! But interestingly, an increasing number of people are beginning to see the light. I've given a couple of presentations to this effect lately and the audiences were predominently socent, so I expected a lot of backlash. Surprisingly, a lot of people agreed with me.
I work predominently with SMEs, and my goal is to break down this huge void between social enterprise and "normal" business. Quite frankly, I think how a business is constituted is irrelevant. I know social enterprises that are really not very good at providing the service they are meant to, don't look after their staff and don't give any thought to their environmental impact. Conversly, I know many "normal" businesses that genuinely embrace the principles of CSR (even if they don't call it that.) We would like to see socent and SMEs work to a common "responsible business" framework and yes – this is something we have in place via our auditable certification.
Brett Cowell says:
Good article. I think there is always a tendency to try to anticipate a grand economic revolution in reaction to clear examples of where elements of capitalism have run off the rails, but what about how social enterprise can influence within the current parameters of capitalism that is is a part of, and thereby tweak those parameters? Is what is required a revolution or evolution? Do we need to endlessly debate this, or work on testing some practical actions that can be implemented by business?
If businesses require the flow of talent, attention, capital and innovation to survive, then social entrepreneurship can be an effective mechanism to influence wider business over time. Big companies compete for talent and if new employees have broader criteria than money for selecting a job then companies whose values don't align with employees will suffer over time. I think the ongoing debate around social enterprise is a valuable voice to help shape values – and establish a continuum of what good looks like. Getting engaged in what is good for society is not dropping out, dropping out is inertia in the current way, when that way needs to evolve and maybe doesn't even align any more with your personal values. Social enterprise is more than an organizational construct, but a mindset that can exist in big business as well as small.
I wish I'd had the opportunity to have a more rounded debate in my MBA course, though I think most of us got the message that persistent short-termism doesn't pay off in the long term. Acting on that when in "business reality" is something that needs more practcal coaching. Not all big business is bad or even most of it, there are some leaders who've worked to articulate the long term value of sustainability in business. The rest need to have the courage to lead with a longer term perspective.
Likewise from a consumer standpoint – do you go to your local chain coffee store or an independent (that may also be a social enterprise, or at least the funds staying in local community / city / state?). Social enterprises direct attention toward other ways to measure success and allow us to make distinctions and form decision criteria. Attention is resulting in funding in some countries to kickstart this. Attention is giving big business an option of whether to direct their community/CSR investment in money, or in skills based volunteering of employees to social enterprises. We need to engage our CSR department and invest time to make this a possibility.
Although social capital is still small, if there is consumer demand it will grow. We need the constant supply of new entrepreneurs coming into the wider business community to make this happen – and big business will slowly react. Like the coffee shop example I can say personally that I'd welcome the ability to direct some of my pension funds away from historic investments (many of which have actually performed poorly) and towards social business. I am likely not alone. We need to challenge our pension fund administrators to add this as an option. Social business needs to do its part in aggregate by not ignoring good business practice – to steward the capital invested in it wisely and sustainably. Incubators and collaboration with big business and its legions of specialised professionals can help. Learning goes both ways.
By the nature of a large number of small social enterprises striving to survive innovation is generated, particularly if new talent goes into the sector to supplement ex-charity workers and social activists, and the creative abrasion over time results in new business models that can scale. Big business notoriously struggles to find disruptive innovation, or even create the environment where incremental innovation can take root – particularly in the face of cost cutting and restructuring. There is an opportunity to cross-pollinate talent and collaboration between big and evolving social business models.
So yes social enterprise is a distraction – it prevents us from giving our full attention to traditional ways of doing things where those ways need to evolve. By doing so we get progress – as a result of thousands of small actions by individuals…including actions by those reading this. Yes – you!

Well spotted Pamela. Indy Johar and I have made the same point calling for societal entrepreneurship see http://esharp.eu/big-debates/societal-entrepreneurship/171-societal-entrepreneurship-an-agenda-to-reinvent-europe-in-a-small-world/ We are testing the concept in Portugal. The country is in such stormy waters that they can not afford piecemeal solutions
Alan Doran says:
Great article Pamela – a couple of parallels: Herman Mulder of Equator Principles and GRI said recently of Impact Investing: we need to move this from an oxymoron to a tautology, and the trade journal Socially Responsible Investment dropped the Socially. The new generation of entrepreneurs will hopefully blur the commercial socent divide.
But I also take issue with reasonable as opposed to maximum profits, because of competition. Better to concentrate on the time horizon. Long term profits, assuming not generated by monopoly power, and in a regulatory and risk climate where environmental and social costs are better (not perfectly – that is in my view unattainable) attributed to enterprises responsible for them should be associated with better social outcomes. Issue is how to reward long term profits – the social and financial discount rate is currently too high, and that in turn is partly a function of our credit based economy. We need to rethink finance to get away from the tyranny of too many interest based financing contracts and go back to a system based more on real risky assets that can lose value as well as gain it. This argument is harder to make perhaps when global interest rates are low, as now, but it holds in principle.
Una Key says:
The generalisation within this leaves an awful lot to be desired. It is " business" with its fixation on profit that has led to the demise of Jobs for life, family financial growth and stability, the need for two parents to work instead of one wage being able to pay bills. Suddenly this now has the ability to regenerate society? I'll wait with baited breath
Dan says:
Great article. We have been working in this domain for many years. It is nearly impossible to get the system to change for our best interest. All of the goals stated above can be accomplished much easier of we reorganize ourselves. The key is to measure into existence "intangibles" as factors of production; social capital, creative capital, intellectual capital instead of land labor and capital. After all, the proverbial "basket of Goods" is a product of the social, creative, and intellectual assets of people. Then the integration is extremely simple – almost trivial. Here is a broader explanation. Reorganizing Society For The Era of Social Capitalism http://www.ingenesist.com/general-info/reorganizing-in-the-era-of-social-capitalism.html
Jeff Mowatt says:
It's an area we've also been working in for many years. Introducing our social business model to the UK in 2004, saying:
"Capitalism is the most powerful economic engine ever devised, yet it came up short with its classical, inherent profit-motive as being presumed to be the driving force. Under that presumption, all is good in the name of profit became the prevailing winds of international economies — thereby giving carte blanche to the notion that greed is good because it is what has driven capitalism. The 1996 paper merely took exception with the assumption that personal profit, greed, and the desire to amass as much money and property on a personal level as possible are inherent and therefore necessary aspects of any capitalist endeavour. While it is in fact very normal for that to be the case, it simply does not follow that it must be the case."
Sahila says:
Been thinking about these issues a lot over the past decade or two…
and… becoming more and more frustrated that, as our environment – the habitat necessary for our survival as a species – is degraded more and more daily, people STILL don't get that capitalism is a system we can't afford to continue to practise…
in the first place, capitalism is built on the idea of unlimited growth (unlimited profits), which is built on the premise of having unlimited resources (natural and human) to manipulate and exploit to maximise profits…..
and the plain, undeniable, scientific fact is that we cannot have infinite growth in a finite system (the biosphere is a closed, finite system), and so capitalism – especially as a global system – leads us, literally, to a dead end, as it uses up resources and makes our environment inhospitable to human life…
secondly, capitalism is a system that is built on the model of a pyramid, with all of the profit/power sucked up to the top, to the capstone…. just how many people do you think we can fit on that capstone? Comparatively few…. and just how many people at the base and in the middle of the pyramid have to be used, exploited and then cast aside, for those few people to get to and stay at the top? And there is no way to change this because the pyramid structure doesn't allow for any other process and outcome…
so why we are messing around with ideas that capitalism is good and merely needs 'tweaking' to 'benefit' more people is beyond me…
Alissa says:
I applaud your efforts to change norms in the business education world. I attended a public health conference, where business and public health officials consider partnerships or recognize that where the money lies (business) is where the greatest change can happen. A really good example of a business that is improving community health is VanCity Credit Union – they pay their employees a living wage, etc. As a student, what I notice is that the walls are LITERALLY built between students studying different topics. Language is crafted for each sector; however, many terms are analogous to jargon used by another sector, but connections may not be made. At UBC in Vancouver, business students are crafting ideas for social entrepreneurship and public health students don't even know to be able to collaborate. It could be said about much more too – forestry, engineering, etc. – if you want individuals to collaborate, create a common language, and remove the barriers between students, whether it be sharing classrooms in different buildings or allowing students from studying other topics greater opportunity to explore classes in other areas easily. My experience at UNBC in Prince George was amazing – one shared university (classrooms for a variety of topics, shared indoor and outdoor space, not much separation), everyone mingled in classrooms, social settings and beyond – that made for establishing connections in many areas a lot easier to do, and to be more aware of what issues arise in areas you may not consider yourself an expert in. (Canadian context). I'd also support the notion that those businesses today that give back to the community or environment, that use recycled products, that promote reusable mugs for coffee, that pay their staff a living wage – those are businesses my generation (Millennial's) want to support. It's in their best interest to take an eco-friendly or healthy communities approach. Look at Enbridge – oil & gas, as well as wind power. Thanks for the article and for giving me something to think about!
Patrick Weirich says:
Thank you Pamela,
I'm also glad to read an article about the role of Social Entrepreneurship in a context to the global capitalism. In a really meta point of view, I think the practice of economics – in the last decades and right know – is also the origin of Social entrepreneurship. The French Author Alain Badiou describes the expandation and extremes of the global capitalism with three developments: 1. We voted the global capitalism as our only economic System with all the advantages and disadvantages. 2. The growing weakness of states in favor of multinational Corporates 3. New Imperial practices by "western Countries"
Every Social Entrepreneurship approach and every Social Entrepreneurs do agree with these points. SE wants to solve social Problems with a business model which is working in the current capitalistic Framework. Why? They believe that states are not able to solve these social (-and ecological btw) Problems, which are based on other participants in the market in the same Framework. In my opinion we must shift the whole Framework like a disruptiv Innovation for the system, instead of incrementally changes for the participants.
roberto pantoja says:
The capitalism doesn't need to change, the people need. When you study design thinking and Austrian economics you can understand the market adapt to the demand. That's means the capitalism didn't change for social entrepreneurship, but people NOW want sustainable goods.
Jim says:
Results to all areas mentioned (profit, social, enviro) comes from the organization's leadership decisions on how they allocate resources that they generate. They have generated these resources from a market that has freely decided to transact with them and the market is now demanding not just a cheap price and high quality, but how the company is making good in the world. The more transparent things become (tech is helping this as the cost is low) the more the market becomes educated on where their dollars/votes are going.
Social entrepreneurship has had a huge surge in popularity as the 1st world is at a point where it is educated enough to make decisions that will not only keep the company in business but also ask the question of "Now that I have helped you help me, what are we doing for the world?"
My question is – how do we convince the 3rd world to ask the social/environmental questions now and shortcut the profit only mentality when those people are just trying to survive let alone care about the planet. If the 3rd world runs the same course as the US and other 1st world nations have the planet won't be in for a nice ride.
Chandler m says:
People have this locke vs Hobbs dichotomy of human nature.
We arent inherently selfish or inherently giving.
We are complex. Making decisions for different reasons.
You can solve this problem literally by going back to stakeholder capitalism instead of the predominant shareholder.
It's become not even about building a business , it's become like stated in the article maximizing profits. The stakeholder model has natural slower growth. And by stakeholders I mean employees as the stakeholders. And not a chain of command style either. Maybe on certain businesses.
Were caught up in value capture rather than value creation.
Why sell a product to someone , when you can challenge the customer to make it better?
Lemme guess because intellectual property, right?
The opposite of oppression is competition, but competition as a inherent property not as an assumption about capitalism.
And I hate to break it you but no one can "fix" poverty. In a world of building a business rather than making a quick buck, your innovation is your compassion that you give the world to make it a better place.
One communal centric type of thing has to be lightly taken. Definitely taken In accordance with voluntary understandings thruout the community but lightly.
Because of the tragedy of the commons.
When the government helps with social welfare, it helps for the short term.
when you are on certain programs, you can only make so much money or you lose the benefits and chances are people need those a little longer than what the government assumes.
We raise the minimum wage to help out those in poverty, but companies want to move away because they see labor as a cost and not an investment. And the employee is in worse shape because you are pricing their labor out of the market and inflation….
Back to challenging the customer to make a product better than the person… the stakeholder business model whatever it may sell could allow the customer their input, in exchange for a stake in the company, thus on their own as an individual and with support from a company who challenges them
True capitalism isnt privatize the profit and incentivize the losses. It's to privatise the profit and the losses.
By challenging the customer you have eyes everywhere looking to minimize waste, balance efficient yet cost efficient methods, they learn skills, they grow with the company.

A simple way is to spawn the reactor in a separate thread (IIRC not all reactors are safe to run on a thread other than the main one, check with someone more knowledgeable) and use the threadsafe built-in queue to push requests across (you just do a blocking pop on the "output" queue and you have the blocking semantics you wish, but this part is optional). This isn't a common use case for me, so there may be better or built-in ways of doing this. To summarize, Glyph and Dialtone are right, if you can rewrite you definitely should, but if you can't there are ways around it.

Daily Digit: 2.8 mln Toyota recall
Nov. 14 - Toyota to recall 2.8 million cars in the second multimillion vehicle recall in less than two months. Conway G. Gittens reports.
Today's daily did you it is two point eight million. Two point eight million toyotas mostly second generation Prius and certain corolla models will be taken off roads around the world. -- top auto maker has to fix glitches in the steering mechanism as well as the hybrid system water -- -- -- census -- still an issue can be fixed and fifty minutes in the water pump in an hour and a half but. The problem is this is so you go to his second multi million vehicle recall in a little over a month. Clarence debt -- executive director of the center of auto safety says the recall list part of Toyota's continued growing pains. Fundamental issues yes. In this too early two thousands Toyota concentrate. On becoming number one in world sales across. In what they did use the short changed quality engineering in that process. So there they were successful in getting to number one but now we have a backlog of vehicles with poor quality. And so while they focused on restoring quality the new vehicles. They have all these older vehicles with defects that keep getting the call and recall. In October Toyota pulled back more than seven point four million vehicles worldwide to fix faulty power window switch is. It was the industry's biggest single recall since Ford Motor to eight million vehicles off the road in 1996. A series of Toyota recalls involving more than ten million vehicles. Between 2009 in 2011. Damaged the firm's image but it recovered and earlier this month. Raised its full year net profit forecast to nine point seven billion dollars citing solid sales. The defects that cause the most recent two point eight million recall cost no accident. Could cost hundreds of millions of dollars to repair. According to an analyst estimate.

I got two E-mails from two of the petitions that I was involved in to get this to happen and here they are:
"Craig Johnston just posted an update on the petition you signed
Dec 06, 2014 — Yakuza 5 is coming to the west!"
"Patrick Carroll just posted an update on the petition you signed
7 Dec 2014 — Today during its keynote address at the PlayStation Experience community event in Las Vegas, Sony Computer Entertainment America announced a partnership with SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. to release Yakuza 5™, the much awaited fifth installment in the critically acclaimed main Yakuza™ series, on PlayStation®Network for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system in 2015. Yakuza 5 will make its Western debut as one of the most requested titles from the #Buildingthelist campaign, Gio Corsi, Director of Third Party Production at SCEA, announced at the event. Both companies also revealed that Yakuza™ 4 and Yakuza™: Dead Souls are available on PlayStation®Network today.
A direct sequel to Yakuza 4™, the game continues the epic story of Kazuma Kiryu, alongside four other protagonists, following their struggles and conflicts in the seedy underbelly of Japan's Yakuza underworld. Featuring a new graphics engine versus its predecessor, Yakuza 5 takes players to five major Japanese cities to venture through a life of crime and power.
Yakuza 5 features more mini-games than previous titles, a modified battle system as well as enhanced customizations and interactions in the signature hostess bars of the franchise. In addition to these features, Yakuza 5 also introduces "Another Drama" which is a series of side stories that focus on each protagonist in-depth and are separate from the main story of the game.
"The world of the Yakuza series has fascinated gamers in Japan and the West for many years," said John Cheng, COO and President of SEGA of America. "We know fans have been eagerly awaiting a release of Yakuza 5 here and we are thrilled to finally launch this spectacular entry in the series in North America and Europe."
A BIG thank you to the petition creators and all who signed and promoted their cause!

Medical questions & health advice by board certified doctors
"Do I have synovitis?"
My elbow is really swollen and it is the arm that I use when I throw playing softball and baseball. Is this synovitis? The swelling goes up and down but always seems like it is there.
There are several possibilities here, however if this is the arm that you mostly use when you are playing sports and you have noticed an association between your physical activity and the development of the swelling and pain, then the most likely diagnosis is tendonitis. Tendonitis in the elbow is very common and it is usually an over use injury, typically from vigorous physical activity. If the pain and swelling is most on the outside edge of the elbow, this is called tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis. If the pain and swelling is mostly on the inside edge of the elbow, this is called golf elbow, or medial epicondylitis. Regardless, both types are treated the same, with rest, ice, and anti inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen. Another common condition in the elbow is olecranon bursitis, which is an inflammation in the bursa, or fluid filled sac, that surrounds and cushions the elbow joint. I suggest that you go to see your primary care doctor who will be able to help you determine which of these conditions you have. Based on this, they will also be able to give you some recommendations for appropriate treatment.

You simply MUST share your scarf collection. Can't wait. I double dare YOU!!!ReplyDelete
Bah, scarves are a wardrobe investment (particularly for a buck!), so hoard away!ReplyDelete
Love the scarf KJ! And the announcement for the lovely giveaway!ReplyDelete
P.S. I would love to see your collection of scarves.
aw, that's so sweet of you :)ReplyDelete
yes, you must share your scarf collection (there are a couple of flickr groups you must add them to)... how many scarves do you have?
i cannot believe you got a Vera scarf for less than a dollar! $3-9 is already a really good deal on a Vera scarf
so I buy scarfs and never wear them. But, i love them! What is wrong with me?ReplyDelete
Since we are admitting to our love of scarves...Yes, I too am a scarf-a-holic!!! I was just going through my collection not too long ago. I will share mine, if you share yours!!! Can't wait to see more...
By the way, I love the skirt make-over. You are a fabulous seamstress and a beautiful model!
Many hugs,
I would love to see your scarf collection. This one is stunning.ReplyDelete
Cool scarf design! Good Canadian colours. :)ReplyDelete

Note: this review ended up a lot longer than I intended it to be, so in an unforgivably cheesy move, I've split it into two parts.
We're determined not to conform with the programmer stereotype, and as such are a much sportier bunch than you would probably account for. There are a huge range of sports clubs and events at Web Apps, from regular five-a-side and badminton to rock climbing. There's even a game of mixed netball on the periphery, and our Oldham Community Leisure memberships go a long way towards burning off all the cake and free cans of pop.
So it was with great enthusiasm that we threw ourselves into the 2017 edition of the prestigious Webbie Cup, now in its third iteration. Having learnt a lesson about our lack of fitness in previous years, we came up with the solution of having 3 teams instead of 4. Each team would play each other twice, with extra players allowing roll-on/roll-off substitutes to account for when people became tired, in theory.
In practice, Webbies are a fragile species, and injuries of varying severity wrote off an average of one player per team in the first round of games. Nevertheless, we powered through, and some fantastic football was played.
Meet the teams
Picture courtesy of Oldham Chronicle
Slide into Your PMs
Matt Chambers (c), Ste Lees, Matt Rowan, Jeffrey Ng, Nick Stafford
In the black shirts came Slide into Your PMs, captained by developer Matt Chambers. On paper it looked like they might struggle, unable to get a 6th man to sit on the bench to provide the boost of having fresh legs. With two veterans of previous tournaments on their team in Ste and Jeff, the team did have experience on their side, and Matt Rowan put in a great shift for the men in black despite being written off by injury early on.
Sporting Humphreys
David Humphreys (c) +1, Craig Kennedy, Shaun Austin, Luke OKeefe, Joel Richards,
The eponymous Sporting Humphreys, captained by PM David and wearing white jerseys, looked a strong side with two capable Webbie Cup veterans in Shaun and Craig. Not much had been seen of Joel or Luke beforehand, both reasonably new additions to the company. Joel turned out to be a dark horse, coming late and outscoring everybody else to win the golden boot for the day.
FC Red Shirts
Jack Simpson (c), Kris Cartwright, Jack Maders, Chris Sweeney, Jonathan Howe, Gareth Nixon
Named after the perennially endangered crewmen from Star Trek, FC Red Shirts, naturally wearing red, were a strong team on paper made up of Webbie Cup veterans including two previous championship-winning players in myself and Kris Cartwright, whose memorably agile performances in goal last time inspired me to convince him to get between the sticks again. We were joined by Gareth Nixon of Mahdlo after a last minute struggle for a substitute.
The tournament took place on Mahdlo's outdoor 3G 5aside pitch, which we'd seen before at charity tournaments hosted by Streetleague (one in which we came second!). Mahdlo were great hosts, providing much needed encouragement from the side-lines, and bottled water free of charge to our players!

Round One:
The tournament opener pitched an up-for-it Slide into Your PMs against Sporting Humphreys, in an initially closely contested encounter. PMs scored twice, both times with quick replies from a resilient Sporting (missing Joel, who was running late) until Matt Rowan sealed an excellent hat-trick and Ste bagged a second to kill off their morale, and the game, 5-2.
With only 3 teams, there was a requirement for teams to take turns playing staggered fixtures, so a dejected Sporting, albeit buoyed by the arrival of their sixth man, had to take to the field once again to face Red Shirts, who started slowly despite having the upper hand. Beaten convincingly 4-1 thanks to goals from Directors Shaun and Jeff, and a double from late arrival Joel, Red Shirts would go on to be repeatedly frustrated by Sporting, who just seemed to have them worked out – Dave Humphreys dominated, controlling the game from the back and racking up a number of assists.
The final game of round one pitched Red Shirts against a fresh PMs, with their comfortable victory still firmly in their minds. Early on the game was closely contested, with key players Ste and Matt R. both netting, but the tables turned drastically after a not-very-accurate challenge on Matt from yours truly. I maintain that I was fully aiming for the ball, but a mixture of poor technique and lack of balance certainly aided Matt rolling his ankle, ending his tournament early.
Borrowing a substitute from Sporting, the demoralised men in black attempted to increase their narrow lead, to no avail. Kris showed great reflexes in net, stopping a number of shots in an impressive display of goalkeeping.
Counter-attacking ruthlessly, the Reds rained shots down on poor Jeff from all angles, with Johnny, Sweeney and Jack S. all getting in on the goal-scoring, and a hat-trick for Mahdlo's Gareth, who was clearly enjoying playing on home soil. 7-2 to Red Shirts!
It was remarkably close, each team having won and lost one by a similar margin. PMs were looking worried, having lost a key player to injury, and there was a sense that this was too close to call.
What happened in round 2? Keep an eye out for part two, where the thrilling conclusion will be revealed.

JetBlue to Roll Out In-Flight Wi-Fi Next Year
Good news, frequent flyers. JetBlue, the airline that boasts lots of legroom and TVs at every seat, is finally getting one amenity it lagged behind onin-flight Wi-Fi.
But don't get too excited for it just yet. If you have a flight booked in the next few months you won't be able to enjoy itJetBlue won't roll out its new in-flight Wi-Fi service until the first quarter of 2013.
The new service was first reported yesterday by the folks over at The Verge, who got their hands on an internal company email detailing the plans. JetBlue confirmed the news on its website Tuesday, noting it will launch in-flight Wi-Fi in partnership with ViaSat, which JetBlue calls the airline industry's "best broadband connectivity solution."
ViaSat's satellite technology "will bring JetBlue customers exponentially more bandwidth than any other product in commercial aviation today," the airline said. A number of other airlines rely on Gogo for in-flight internet service, including American Airlines, Delta, United, U.S. Airways, and Virgin America.
There's no word yet on JetBlue's exact data speeds with ViaSat, but according to the company, its Exede Internet service for commercial airlines promises 12 Mbps or more to each passenger. The Verge reported that JetBlue claims to have loaded ten Web pages in an average of one minute and 18 seconds, while an unnamed competitor's service took more than eight minutes to complete the same task.
Even better—JetBlue will initially offer in-flight Wi-Fi for free until at least 30 planes have been outfitted with the satellites, according to The Verge. A source told the media outlet that after the trial period, JetBlue's Wi-Fi service will remain free for "basic email and browsing," but streaming movies or music during a flight will cost you.

I don't know how I knew, but I have always known there was God. Maybe at five I didn't percieve God as God. I did have a sense that looking up there was something to help me coming from above. Praying, yes it works. I have prayed all my life. The first prayers were not get on my knees, prayers. Hopes and Prayers to me were the same thing. Hoping that Daddy would come home. Mama acted better when he was there. Wishing were more like hope that the house didn't burn when my daddy was trying to light heater. He didn't burn the house, only caught his sock on fire. At pre-school age I consider now that my hopes were really prayers. The house maybe did catch on fire a little because I ran in the snow to our, neighbors from Kentucky's house. They called the fire department. The white foam they used was there until they put all our furniture out in the yard. Once, I must have forgot to pray/hope, because the bankers still wanted Daddy to pay for the house. Thinking as a five year old would, or the way I did as a five year old that Mama and Daddy weren't doing such a great job I was ever so happy to go to Grandma and Grandpa's to stay. It was warmer there. My bed was dry there. So, now my prayer/hope was to stay there. I prayed all the way from Detroit to Pulaski, because Daddy bought the Greyhound bus ticket to the wrong state. We were going to Alabama not Tennesee.
I knew that Grandmother Garner lived in Alabama. Why would he take me to the wrong state. My prayers were answered Grandmother, Aunt Faye, Amy and Jennifer were there waiting. I got to Alabama from Pulaski thanks to my standing up, praying for 700 miles. The prayers never stopped. I had to pray that I didn't have to leave Grandmother's. I did once for 4 months when the house burnt. They sent us to Uncle Keith's. Daddy was supposed to find us a home and not go back to Grandmother's. This made me sad everytime I heard the grown-ups say it; so I just pray/hope again that we get to go back to Grandmothers. It worked. That is why I love to say,"I know that was you God, thank you."

This sounds like a really neat program. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Also, I'm experiencing the same "no school" type thing you are. We've had 8 snow days since winter break....and it's currently snowing with predictions of blowing and drifting tonight...and a high of -5 predicted for Tuesday, so the pattern of closings may continue...
This looks awesome! I am definitely going to have to check this out and I think I'll send it to my daughter who is off at college. She is experimenting with different recipes so this will be great for her too!ReplyDelete
I feel your pain with the snow/cold day business. We lost time last week and it is looking like we will be losing tomorrow too thanks to another polar vortex bringing in -40 windchills along with blowing and drifting snow. :-( I am so ready for Spring!

Happy Fall Y'all!
Fall is one of my favorite units to teach and I always start my unit off with painting fall leaves! I love to hang them from the ceiling in my classroom...it looks like leaves are falling all around us! I have tons of fall books but this year we read "The Leaves on the Trees" before painting.
We also practiced putting fall sentences together today! They had so much fun being bossy and telling the kids holding the words to move around. This activity will be included in my Fall Unit (coming soon). I originally made it as a pocket chart activity but I don't have any free pocket charts to use so I used my kids instead!
"Tasty Fire Trucks"
We celebrated the end of our Community Unit last Friday by making "Tasty Fire Trucks". This is not one of my original ideas...I found it in a book. It was so long ago that I honestly couldn't even tell you which one it was. (If you know, please leave a comment so I can give the publishers credit.)
Step 1: Spread the icing onto the graham cracker. If you get icing on your fingers you must LICK IT OFF. My kids always look at me like I'm crazy because they expect me to say wipe your fingers on your napkin.
Step 2: Add the wheels.
Step 3: Add Chex cereal window to truck.
Step 4: Build a ladder using pretzels.
Step 5: Add gum drop for serene.
Step 6: Let Mrs. Lanier take your picture
Step 7: EAT and ENJOY!
Class yelling "Tasty Fire Trucks"! Did I mention that I did this activity at the end of the day? Sugar them up and send them home is my motto! We had so much fun doing this activity!
Last Note: I used a font color other than purple! GO ME! I was also listening to the new Dave Matthews Band album while creating this post so if it makes absolutely no sense it's because I was distracted.

This week hasn't exactly been running smoothly. It was Megan's first week back in school after our holiday and Autumn half term and we are still trying to get back into routine. I had planned last week to start a new weekly recipe post as friends are often asking for ideas on what to cook. I also planned to post about our Bonfire Night celebrations and What I Wore Wednesday but it's just not happened. This has been a week where I am running on empty and there have not been enough hours in the day. It is now a week since my last blog post and I may not make it by midnight as today was nearly a twelve hour day out of the house with training, meetings etc in work. An unexpected long day though did make an excellent excuse for a Costa pick me up and the first black forest hot chocolate of the 2012 holiday season! Yes, mine was the largest one!
Although it's been a tough week I am counting myself lucky for many reasons. I am extremely thankful for the special people in my life who are there for me no matter what. This weeks highlights include:
* Bonfire celebrations with family and friends and Megan coping relatively well with the evening.
* Making Hershey's hot fudge ice cream sundaes and enjoying a glass or two of North Carolina spiced rum with my good friend Tyler and Megan (obviously M didn't partake in any rum drinking!).
* M's school recognising her ability and implementing high school English work for her, so she is not bored continuing at primary school level. She is loving analysing poetry and received A* in English Literature and B at Maths in her assessments.
* Recognising the support I do have not what I am not receiving. Thank you to my good friends Tyler and Crissie for listening to me, my mother for helping reduce the stress on the mornings I work by taking Megan to school and my aunt for her support in dealing with doctors and authorities with getting help for Megan.
* My friend Deb aka Shoeless-Deb of Walking by Myself, calling me and getting me through an awkward situation that I couldn't get out of with someone from my past. Laughter is the best medicine!
I'm now looking forward to a catch up with my friend Gemma who had a beautiful baby girl whilst I was in Florida and taking Megan to my oldest friend Helen's house for the weekend once she's finished school tomorrow.
