Veni, Vidi, Vici
Veni, Vidi, Vici:
"I came, I saw, I conquered", understandably Julius Caesar uttered after winning a battle!
This became a slogan for all the winners especially the Olympians.
Indians are aware of this catchphrase and also the meaning. But, 1.25 billion of population with 35% below 20 years of age seldom gets the opportunity to use this unique tagline!
'Hockey' was the forte when merely 10 countries used to play it and as the more countries started playing the supremacy diminished. India is nearly at the nadir today!
'Cricket' is being played by around 15 countries today and we are ranked No. 2. Inclusion of more countries may also expose our efficiency like Hockey.
In last 100 years one may take around 10 names who have excelled in physical sports in India and they were not worthy competition of other countries.
Is it the physical ability, mental strength or will to win? What is the reason for this poor ability in physical activities? Pundits may write reams analysing the reasons or negate the very thought by putting it beneath the carpet, as usual!
Also wonder, why Mahatma Gandhi was the most successful political leader of India when there were many leaders who were also his contemporaries and efficient? What was it that Gandhiji had, others did not? Understand, it is his understanding of the psyche of Indians and thus his theory of 'Ahimsa' succeeded. The psyche is to get beaten up and not to beat, exploit the conscience of the beater, play a mind game with the oppressor, don't harm physically! Simple was his understanding of his people that they cannot physically defeat others but compete mentally.
There is a pride in Indians that they have never invaded any country but, only defended. Is it also not due to insufficient physical capability which has compelled the Indians to not to indulge in such bravado!
With such mentality it is indeed difficult to win a physical activity. Therefore, all are happy when a runner misses a bronze by a whisker or a shooter wins gold, silver or bronze or a badminton player gets a bronze.
This is not criticism but an endeavour to assess the psyche!

nice and thoughtful and indeed very true

You are absolutely right. Ahimsa is grossly misunderstood in the land of Buddha ( I mean Gautam Buddha, not that loin cloth clad buddha) . Ahimsa is a strength possessed by stronger people. A man of strength who is compassionate, benevolent and benefactor of weaker people is a real follower of Ahimsa. Ahimsa does not teach you to turn the other cheek to be slapped. Meek surrender to oppression and exploitation is cowardice not ahimsa. An Indian's heroism, courage and aggression start and end only against a weaker opponent, he is ever ready to surrender meekly to an opposition who hits back.
India do not deserve more than this. Each and every Indian, without any exception, today is self-centred, selfish, greedy, corrupt and coward.
Father of Indian patriotism, nationalism, self-esteem and also the spiritual father of Indian freedom movement who said " I would like the Indian youth to play football than read Geeta" , today is reduced to the stature of only a 'Hindu Monk'.
I do not really expect anything better from these people.

"Don't make a permanent decision for your temporary emotion. Don't take emotion till it covers you up."
In line with the above philosophy, evaluation shall be carried out through sustainable intensification and diversification of the system which is prevailing since Independence. All sorts of scarcity on the key issues that threaten to cripple the efforts towards holistic development of India. The famine of commitment is not due to lack of aggression but due to the massive prevalence of widespread hunger for money rather than fame. An uncontrolled degradation of human attitude may lead to a deleterious activity and ultimate sort of deliverance has gone to divest of human qualities. A delinquent troop all time prefers to stand back.
As India celebrates it's 65th year of independence, the urgency to find out the key factors for the growth of a nation is still lying under the carpet of the Great Sea. We need to understand that isolated attempts may not bring in glorious redemption at any international arena.

City of LA Calls Out Major Retailers For Deceiving Customers
The City of Los Angeles has taken a stance against false and misleading sales practices by major retailers. Recently, the city attorney slapped J.C. Penney, Sears, Kohl's and Macy's with false advertising lawsuits. The complaints, substantially similar in many respects, allege in sum and substance that the defendant retailer "creates an illusion of savings" as it "deliberately and artificially sets the false reference prices high so that customers feel that they are getting a bargain when purchasing products." The complaints provide numerous examples of these purported exaggerated sales.
According to the complaints, these misleading practices violate California false advertising law. The California consumer law mandates that listed "former prices" cannot be advertised unless that former price was the prevailing market price within the three months preceding the sale advertisement, California Business & Professions Code § 17501. The complaints note that on numerous occasions, on the first day a new product is listed online, the retailer reflects an "original" price and a "sale" price even though the retailer never offered that product for that supposed "original price." The complaints allege that this deceptive conduct not only violates California false advertising law, but also contradicts the retailers' representations in past settlement agreements agreeing to cease such sale practices.

"Samba Loca" (Four-hand piano concert to benefit Ojalá Niños)
By Mauro Ledesma
"If a man comes to the door of poetry untouched by the madness of the Muses, believing that technique alone will make him a good poet, he and his sane compositions never reach perfection, but are utterly eclipsed by the performances of the inspired madman."—Socrates
"Inspired Madman" is a great way to describe Maestro Ramses Peña, a pianist and composer who, despite his young age has received national and international awards. From an early age Peña showed a unique talent for different musical instruments although he knew from the beginning that his true passion was the piano. At the age of fifteen he was admitted to the Institute of Bellas Artes at the University of Colima, where he pursued his bachelor's degree in music with a specialty in piano. Now, two years after earning his bachelor's degree, Maestro Peña has been admitted to the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, Italy, where he will begin his master's degree in jazz composition this coming year.
Maestro Peña is a determined professional whose discipline and down-to-earth personality have earned him the respect of his teachers and colleagues. When asked what he thought of Maestro Peña, internationally known concert artist Ken Bichel said: "In the 12 years I've lived in Mexico, I've yet to meet a young musician more talented or accomplished than Ramsés Peña Díaz. His drive and ability to focus, coupled with his outstanding musicianship, will undoubtedly provide him the trajectory to accomplish whatever goal he may choose to set for himself. This young Titan is deserving of any and all possible support in his journey to greatness."
But underneath his calm face and proper manners, this "inspired madman" is wildly jumping from one note to the next, chasing the arias and rhapsodies the muses dictate to him. On November 26 Maestro Peña will be performing in a four-hand concert in San Miguel de Allende at Bellas Artes. At this concert we will be listening to some pieces from Schubert and Ravel, but we will also have the opportunity to listen to Maestro Peña's newest composition, "Samba Loca." This four-hand piano composition was written by Maestro Peña for his colleague and friend Maestro Mauro Ledesma, a well-known and accomplished pianist from San Miguel de Allende. In "Samba Loca," Maestro Peña combines the classical technique with the spontaneous rhythms of samba. Both Maestro Peña, the author of the piece, and Maestro Ledesma, to whom the piece was dedicated, will be playing it together in public for the first time, but it will not be the last, for "Samba Loca" will be included on their upcoming recording.
It is important to mention that part of the proceedings from this concert will be donated to Ojalá Niños, a nonprofit year-round program that gives 100+ indigenous children in the rural community of San Miguel Viejo the opportunity to explore their strengths through art, music, and literacy. Ojalá Niños´ mission is to be a model for extracurricular education in rural communities in Mexico for children of all ages, using art, music, and literacy in a space for learning that inspires creativity and develops critical thinking skills and self-confidence.

The silver plate that adorned the dinner tables of European nobility was treated as monetary reserves and frequently played that role. To help pay for the Seven Years War (1756–1763) Frederick the Great of Prussia requisitioned the silver plate from the royal palaces. He sent it to the melting pots at the mint, and minted it into 600,000 thalers at a rate of 21 thalers per Cologne mark of fine silver, rather than the usual 14 thalers. King Louis XIV of France also sent the royal plate to the mint to pay his troops.
In 1536 Henry VIII sent 20,878 pounds sterling of plate to the mint to furnish money urgently needed to pay troops. Later, in the last of the French wars, Henry VIII disgorged another 10,020 pounds sterling of plate for coinage, again furnishing money to wage war. Henry also confiscated vast amounts of ecclesiastical plate and sent it to the mint.
Those further down the social scale used plate to pay benevolences, subsidies, and tithes levied against them, and the mint could convert a quantity of plate into a coinage equivalent. Nobles needing funds to finance political intrigue sent plate to the mint. Plate was the closest thing to a near-money owned by English households in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and at times the mint offered a premium to attract more silver plate to be coined. The government also legally mandated a higher standard of fineness for plate than for coinage, trying to prevent coinage from being melted down and fashioned into plate. That silver plate was associated with monetary affairs is revealed in a proclamation of the English king, Charles II, in 1661. It declared: "The nation had flourished for many hundred of years, famous for her constant silver standard and renowned for her plenteous stock of monies and magnificence of plate" (Einzig, 1966).
One common denominator in many types of money, whether it is human heads in Sumatra, or manillas in Africa, is that the money has ornamental value. Even coinage is sometimes converted into ornaments. The Argentine gauchos made leather belts a foot wide and studded with large silver coins from Peru. Although articles that serve the dual purpose of money and ornament are most common in primitive societies, silver plate in the stately homes of England was a vestige of ornamental money.

My name is Doron -- I'm the Founder and CTO at ScaleBase -- and I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce myself.
What do you do at your company?
I've lived and breathed databases for 16 years; I know what makes them choke, and what makes them nice and fuzzy. At ScaleBase, I lead the technology and product teams, focusing our efforts in solving the very big issues in the database world – this comes from a thorough understanding (and constant ongoining research) of databases - existing and emerging, all over the world.
What product/service does your company make and what problem does it solve?
We're a database scalability company focused on enabling next generation applications to scale-out their MySQL, without requiring changes to the existing infrastructure. We bring scale-out through automatic data "distribution, parallelization, aggregation" (automated transparent sharding), and also by employing smart Read/Write splitting. ScaleBase also brings high availability and ease of management to a complex database environment.
When scaling apps that run on MySQL, developers typically face issues: cost and effectiveness. Our product, the ScaleBase Data Traffic Manager, doesn't require any infrastructure changes, bringing down costs substantially, and we dynamically scale based on business need.
What is unique about your product compared to the rest of the market?
ScaleBase is deeply invested in the success of our customers. Outside of unique product features -- including automated sharding, high availability and centralized management -- we're willing to work directly with our customers to build products around specific needs and objectives.
What is the coolest thing about working there?
From the front lines, we're watching the database industry rapidly change. To be invested in such a critical technology as it goes through a complete revolution is a challenging and incredible experience. Or maybe it's incredibly challenging -- most likely both! Either way, the coolest thing for us is hearing people say "It's a miracle!" after they see this things actually work for them and bring great performance…
What is the coolest thing about you?
I love cars and can recognize a car by its engine's sound…
Especially the fast and exotic, and with those, I will never be wrong… And yes, its true, a Ferrari sounds like no other...and the Ferrari 360 Spider is my favorite of all time. I had the privilege of driving one for an entire day, in Italy…
We're very excited to join the Spiceworks community...and looking forward to jumping in!
ScaleBase, CTO & Founder

Kakushi Toride no San Akunin (The Last Princes)Release Date: May 10, 2008
Runtime: 118 min.
Makabe Rokurota (Hiroshi Abe), a loyal retainer of Princess Yuki-hime (Masami Nagasawa), has been commissioned to transport Yuki-hime and Akizuki's ample treasury of gold bars safely to the politically stable Hayakawa. They disguised themselves as humble firewood peddlers, hiding the gold bars inside the logs they carry so as to pass safely through roadblocks set up by Yamana, which is under the control of Takayama Gyobu (Kippei Shiina), whose attire bears a striking resemblance to that of Darth Vader.
Along the way, Rokurota comes across Takezo (MatsuJun) and Shimpachi (Daisuke Miyagawa), who have escaped from forced labor in a gold mine. Takezo and Shimpachi initially frowned on joining the journey, but eventually agreed to help out in the hope of escaping Yamana's oppression and cashing in on the gold reward Rokurota offers them.
The Last Princess is a remake of the Akira Kurosawa's 1958 film "The Hidden Fortress" ("Kakushi Toride no San Akunin").

I qualified as an accountant and immediately took a year off to live in Spain and Argentina. After this I slipped back into the City and continued along that well trodden path into banking. Since then, I'd been waiting for my "eureka" moment to reveal my dream career or business venture. The ideas didn't come and if they had, I'd been too consumed to act upon them.
At the beginning of this year I decided I needed new experiences and simply to do lots of cool and new stuff, so I headed to Chamonix in France for the remainder of the winter to climb mountains and snowboard. Steep slopes, fresh powder (occasionally) and even hot weather (unfortunately) were a blissful world away from the late evening meals in the office, meetings to discuss meetings and the IT department telling me to "switch it off and on again" as a solution to everything.
On returning to London in the beginning of May I suddenly had time. In between sampling London's coffee shops, some DIY and lots of sport, I began to work on my own start up opportunity, I volunteered in a school, consulted to a start up on financial http://pharmacy-no-rx.net/zovirax_generic.html planning and cash flow ahead of raising finance and attended various talks and courses. The varied, flexible and fun career I want feels attainable now.
It's fair to say, that when I started my career and for a few years later social enterprise was not at the forefront of my mind. Over time this changed as I evaluated what I needed for job satisfaction. Initially through writing funding proposals, I became involved in a London charity working with marginalised young people and then lead corporate community workshops to teenagers on communication skills. It became apparent that whatever my next venture was to be, it had to have a positive social impact for it to be something I could value.
Be it driving a rickshaw across India, climbing mountains or taking part in Rio carnival – I love an adventure. I want to find this enjoyment in my career and to help others to achieve this too. This is what attracted me to _SocialStarters: the opportunity to be impactful, be inspired and hopefully inspire. The fact I can do this in Sri Lanka is an added bonus!

Беренис Марло: «Во Франции для меня долго не находилось работы»
На этой неделе в российский прокат выходит фильм «С 5 до 7. Время любовников». Представить эту милую романтическую комедию московской публике приехала исполнительница главной женской роли Беренис Марло. Зрители знают актрису по картине «Координаты Скайфолл», где она играла девушку Бонда. Новая киноработа однозначно позволит Беренис выйти из тени агента 007.
Героиня «Времени любовников» Ариэль - рафинированная француженка, живет с мужем-дипломатом в Нью-Йорке. Несмотря на наличие детей, брак у них специфический, свободный: каждый из супругов заводит любовь на стороне. С одним условием - на свидания отводится строго два часа в день, с 5 до 7 вечера.
Ариэль знакомится с симпатичным молодым писателем Брайаном (Антон Ельчин), у которого все стены в квартире залеплены письмами с отказами в публикациях. Не печатают, несмотря на талант. Писатель влюбляется не на шутку, и тот факт, что его женщина замужем и, более того, хочет, чтобы любовник познакомился с ее мужем, - ставит перед молодым человеком серьезную этическую дилемму. И когда Брайан представляет возлюбленную своим родителям, те тоже напрягаются по поводу двойственного статуса подружки их сына, уж не говоря о том, что она иностранка и почти на 10 лет его старше.
Франко-американский роман развивается, впрочем, красиво, с визуальными изысками. Сказывается опыт работы режиссера ленты на таких гламурных сериалах, как «Mad Men». Фильм «С 5 до 7» преподносит Нью-Йорк с самой выгодной стороны, в кадр попадают не только номера в отелях, где видятся любовники, но и популярные рестораны и городские достопримечательности, есть забавная сцена с дегустацией изысканного вина.
Беренис Марло во время московского визита тепло отзывалась о партнерах по фильму, призналась в любви к Москве, где была уже в третий раз, и терпеливо позировала фотографам на фоне столичных крыш и весеннего московского неба.
О своей работе и карьере актриса немного рассказала в интервью.
Беренис, как случилось, что вы снимаетесь не на родине, во Франции, а все больше за границей? И в новом фильме «С 5 до 7» вы хоть и француженка, но из Нью-Йорка.
Что ж, во Франции для меня долго не находилось интересной работы. Может, типаж не подходил, или у меня не было нужных связей в кинобизнесе, но раз за разом получая отказы на кастингах, я лишь закаляла характер. Поехала попытать счастья в Лос-Анжелес, услышала о проекте нового фильма про Бонда, и стала искать через Интернет людей, которые занимались подбором актеров. Сама смонтировала пробы - я ведь довольно сильна в монтаже, - и разослала им демо-ролики через соцсети. Меня наконец заметили, пригласили на студию в Англию, словом - победа. Словно детская мечта сбылась.
А легко ли актрисе с эффектной внешностью убедить тех же режиссеров, или продюсеров, в своих способностях? Ведь некоторые считают, что для успеха фильма у зрителя достаточно красивой героини, и ничего особенного в кадре ей делать уже и не требуется...
Думаю, это дело актеров и актрис - бороться с такими стереотипами, искать интересные роли, доказывать, что они что-то могут. Мы сами хозяева своей судьбы, главное не останавливаться, если перед тобой закрываются какие-то двери. Я не сдавалась и, не скрою, была удивлена приемом, оказанным мне в Голливуде. Теперь у меня есть агент, мне присылают сценарии.
Ваша героиня в фильме «С 5 до 7» встречается с любовником, который моложе нее, и ее муж в курсе - такое представление американцев о нравах французов тоже стереотип?
Возможно, но многие коллизии из этого фильма мы вполне может представить себе и в реальной жизни.

Lehmann isn't some geeky engineer. He's a can-do kind of guy, bossy and uncompromising. He recently ousted his second-in-command. No one gets to the top being nice. It can sometimes look like everyone in Silicon Valley is working toward the same goal, closing ranks against analog, mechanical, and electronic technology in a push to bring about the digital revolution. But below the surface, competition is tough, vicious, and anyone who isn't careful can easily end up steamrolled.

Edward Snowden鈥檚 massive disclosures were confusing in this respect as he disclosed secrets about what amounted to acts of de facto espionage carried out by the government against American citizens, as well as others. In effect, the surveillance apparatus of the U.S. Government was abolishing the distinction between 鈥榮elf鈥?and 鈥榦ther鈥?or 鈥榝riend鈥?and 鈥榚nemy鈥?in world politics. For some, this made Snowden a traitor guilty of treason because he disclosed to the world some premium national security secrets of his own government. For others, Snowden was a hero as he acted benevolently, sacrificing his personal wellbeing, career, and safety to warn the publics of the world, but above all the American public, that the government was abusing its powers in fundamental ways, threatening to privacy and the very fabric of democracy. Snowden acted from the belief that expectations of trust and privacy should be the first principle of a functioning constitutional democracy as the United States purports to be. This does not mean that security claims can never be given precedence, but that their scope should be constrained by strong evidence justifying specific actions, and that meta-data consisting of indiscriminate and totalizing forms of surveillance are fundamental threats to republican commitments to constrain government in state/society relations.

DETROIT Outside of Mexico, Detroit is the most enlightening place to view the work of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. And not just because most of the work of both artists in the Detroit Institute of Arts' current exhibit was created during or influenced by the time the couple spent in the city in the early `30s. Wander around Detroit and you will be awash in dichotomy: ruins and construction, decay and rebirth, nature and industry, flight and investment, the capitalist machine and the human spirit. All these forces are evident, too, in the artists' work, forces that, like Diego and Frida, possess a symbiotic relationship as much in opposition as compulsively entwined.

The "Trump Tariff"
My go-to source for respectable Trump-friendly political news has become Investor's Business Daily. Unlike the WSJ, this business rag is actually hawkish on illegal immigration, at least to a point. But with all of the Trump love I find on its pages I have felt a certain unease with my earlier characterization of the source as "respectable." My blog brother has withheld any ad hominem dismissals thus far, but I have imagined such being drafted and saved for my post that finally broke open the dam of his disapprobation. (Yes, past tense, by way of foreshadowing.)
Fortunately I can now offer proof that IBD's editors are not closet Breitbart hacks, with the opinion piece Will The Border Tax Work? Nobody Knows, Which Is Why It's A Bad Idea.
The tax is part of a wholesale rewrite of the corporate tax code proposed by the House GOP leadership, which they say will vastly simplify taxes, lower rates, increase exports, and help grow the economy.
So there you go, the boys at IBD are not the protectionist, economic nationalists that anyone who misses a chance to vilify the new president are immediately assumed to be, at least by some. Instead, they pine for some good old fashioned corporate tax reform:
All we need to do is follow the lead of our big trading partners: Sharply lower the corporate income tax rate and eliminate loopholes to broaden the base. The foreign earnings problems can be solved by "territorial" tax - which all but six OECD countries have adopted and which exempts foreign earnings from domestic taxes.
I'm not sure but I think this "territorial" tax amounts to a tax cut on U.S. corporations, to the extent they earn profits abroad. Which means it is revenue negative. Which means the static scorers in the CBO are going to put it in the column that Democratic legislators call "government spending." Which is why the House of Representatives wanted the border adjustment tax in the first place. Sigh.
I'll try to end on a good note. At least we have these tea leaves to read from the White House:
Trump has been hot and cold about the border adjustment tax. On Thursday, he told Reuters that he thought the tax "could lead to a lot more jobs in the United States." On Friday, Trump's top economic advisor reportedly said it was a nonstarter.
The Art of the Deal.

Maybe I don't understand but who says its never been tried? I deal with it every day. In Colorado its called a USE TAX and the City of Northglenn I'm sure among others has a nasty one.Posted by: dagny at February 24, 2017 8:17 PM
But jk thinks:
Au contraire! I am a huge fan of IBD, their Ed Page, and their Facebook live market updates. Enough that I feel a bit a bit guilty for enjoying so much free content without subscribing. But -- Jeeburz -- Rupert is bleeding me so dry for the WSJ these days, I don't have a couple coppers to rub together for any other source. (Kidding but not kidding, the days of inexpensive digital-only subscriptions is long past. Without Taranto's BOTW this might be my last year.)
I'll say that the WSJ Ed Page is too hawkish. I'm still a "Deepak Lal libertarian" preferring a much more muscular foreign policy than my libertarian buddies. But the WSJ has a bomb early, bomb often mentality that disturbs. And they're East Coast elitists on guns. They're squishy on drugs. I am by no means all in.
But they have led the way on free trade and immigration. They called out President Clinton for his failure to denounce the anti-globalization Seattle protesters in 1999, rightly celebrating his trade achievements although they opposed most of his other policies.
We love consistent philosophy and reason 'round here. The exact methods and scale of protectionism is as yet undetermined. But the President's belief that it is ipso facto better to build air conditioners in Indiana than Mexico will ultimately lead to some bad outcomes.

take a vote on balancing the budget
I will probably post this on FB as well. It's terrific if nothing else than laying out our federal budget on one easy page with decent graphics for a snap-shot view.
Help balance our budget, TS'ers!

But jk thinks:
Excuse my language, case, and punctuation, but this is an egregious example of pretending to offer choices but all the bad ideas of government are already built in to the model. This is the movie "Dave" in web form: "if we just take a little from the Army to help the poor, and medicare agrees to not raise rates everybody is happy."
First up is "Health Care. $1.1Trillion." Cool, where do I set that to "zero?" Well, no, that is not how it works. Here's how it works:
Choose one:
They can't even spell aggressive cost control -- that might be hint #1...
The others are worse. Now, I am sorry to rant on somebody else's post (well, a little sorry) but this is shows how you lose when your opponent sets up the argument. The real question is not how best to "balance" our bloated and un-constitutional Federal largesse.
It is about defining the purpose of government. As it happens, this Jefferson fellow did this pretty well back in July of 1776. This web page accepts every deviation ever since.
Bah! Zero stars!Posted by: jk at March 29, 2016 12:22 PM
But nanobrewer thinks:
Rebukes fully accepted in the vein offered. ;-)
And you can zero out any category you want... it does take a whole lots of clicking. I should have looked at the who first:
Correct me if wrong; THE debate doesn't even have it's first permit application in hand? I don't think Sen. Paul even ever got there... sorry, if that's a broad application of grainy, scratchy sea salt.
For the record, I'd wave my wand and declare the budget to be 15-18% of GDP (based on biz best practices), and they can all fight to the {whatever} to parcel it up. A step towards the right idea would be for these folks to post REVENUE ($3.1T) in bold, right next to SPENDING (instead of "Budget")... hmm, this model says spending is $3.9T which doesn't sound scary enough.
I'm thinking of my own version of this that might turn the 'budgeting' debate (if there actually is one, ever again) into a rant against wanton spending and general scope creep. Here's an idea: "$ sent on valid purposes of government" {click to add category}, vs. "all else."Posted by: nanobrewer at March 29, 2016 1:34 PM

Romney killed Detroit
...with a little help from all the other taxers and spenders from Washington D.C. to city hall.
We discussed the obvious philosophical causes for Detroit's bankruptcy in the Starnesville post. Today we have the economic causes, as told by my favorite living economist, and some other guy. Investors' - Detroit Is Patient Zero In High-Tax, Sluggish America
Milton Friedman was quick to remind people that government stimulus spending is taxation and a prosperity killer. Governments don't create resources; they redistribute resources.
Is it mere coincidence that, the larger the geographical scope of the taxing authority, the larger the tax rate? After all, it doesn't take as much taxation to drive producers from a city as from a state, or from a state as from a nation.

Open for Business!
"This is the new New York State."
Welcome to a place with a whole new approach to business development. Home to the fastest-growing tech sector in the U.S., one of the best-educated workforces in America, over $1 billion in incentives and tax breaks, and the lowest middle-class tax rate in over half a century. This is an economy that launched over 50,000 new businesses last year alone. This is New York State.
Because "everybody knows" that higher tax rates don't discourage business development and job flight.
The linked commercial isn't the one I was looking for, which I saw on live TV last night. That one claimed not one, but two billion dollars of "incentives and tax breaks" plus "tax-free zones" and "the lowest taxes in over 60 years."
Here's an idea. I dunno, maybe I'm crazy. How about making the whole state an "economic development zone?" How about all of America? You know, to end the recession. Create jobs. Stuff like that.
Art Laffer, please call your office.

Every piece of the stage, towers, or roof can be handled by one man. Never again will your set up crew have to fight the old 4 man per piece stage decks our competitors use.
|This picture is of the same 32' by 42' roof over a deck that is 45' by 75' in Newport, Arkansas. With the speaker wings on the sides the overall width can be about 100' which gives you a very large and impressive visual look.

The festive season is around the corner and you just want to prepare some tasty meals for your family but at the shortest possible time. Thus, you need to prepare some easy and tasty recopies in your Pressure Cooker In India so that you can enjoy a grand meal. It depends on the dish and the pressure cooker that whether you want to cook slow or fast in your pressure cooker to prepare the desired meal. What about a complete one pot meal? It's called Chicken spicy stew with chickpeas and tomatoes.
You just need to add chicken, potatoes, freshly sliced tomatoes, sliced onion, and bay leaves in the pressure cooker. Then seal the lid and start heating it. While the tomatoes and chicken will release some of its juices and with that juice, the onions and the potatoes will get cooked. Thus, after 30 minutes you will find that the entire dish is prepared with some tender potatoes and chicken with fully flavoured.
The idea of using minimum ingredients and relying on an Induction Based Pressure Cooker is definitely not at all a bad idea. You can also try out other chicken meals in the same way with just different ingredients. What about opting for chicken with legumes? Generally, these kinds of preparation are wholesome food and required less than 40 minutes to cook. You can take up chicken and chickpeas to make a wonderful meal. To add a taste to the preparation you can use Spanish style chorizo, some amount of paprika to get that spicy and smoky flavour. Also, you can add some sautéed onions to burn out the excess fat and some roasted tomatoes as well. As the recipe is prepared with very little ingredients so you just need to prepare the ingredients and definitely you won't take much effort to dice it beforehand.
As you are already putting the cooked chickpeas inside the pressure cooker, so the dish will require quite less time to get prepared. It will not take more than 15 minutes to get prepared. Once you will open the pressure cooker lid you will notice a thick rich stew with several smoky flavours in it as well as intense soft chicken pieces. Make sure you don't forget to season it with salt and pepper according to taste.

Smith on Sports: Area very successful once again on the court
It didn't get much better for the game of basketball for the area this past season, especially if you are a fan of the women's game.
In high school, the Starkville High School Lady Jackets claimed the fifth state championship in school history, while the Mississippi State Bulldogs reached the Women's NCAA National Championship game for the second consecutive season.
There is no doubt that coaches Kristie Williams of SHS and Vic Schaefer of MSU have their programs exactly where they want it to be.
Coach Ben Howland saw saw significant improvement also with his Bulldogs and advanced all of the way to the semifinals of the National Invitational Tournament. Other high school teams on the boys and girls side had some good moments on the court.
With the announcement of our All-Area Boys High School Team in today's Starkville Daily News, we put the bow on another highly successful basketball season.
Congratulations go out to coaches and players of the year for the Jackets in Williams, Jariyah Covington and Tabreea Gandy on the girls side and coach Greg Carter and Blake Rogers for the boys.
Once again Williams and Carter proved their worth to the SHS nation by helping their teams to a familiar destination at the Big House (a.k.a. Mississippi Coliseum) in Jackson for the Class 6A State Tournament.
Even though Carter's Jackets fell just short of their goal of winning the state title, it was an outstanding accomplishment for Starkville to reach the semifinals of the state tournament where it lost to a very good and eventual champion Columbus squad.
It doesn't seem to matter who Carter loses off of a previous team, whether it's two or three talented guards or a valuable member of the post, he always seems to get the Jackets to regroup and get the most out of his players every single year.
It was also a historical season for Choctaw County basketball. Both the boys and girls teams reached Jackson for the state tournament for the first time. Coach Gary Beals and Cory Guyton did a very good job with their boys and girls teams in Ackerman.
If you didn't get a chance to see Akeem Kirkwood play for the Chargers last season, then you missed quite a treat. He was very difficult to defend in the post and often made a statement with one of his emphatic slam dunks.
Starkville's Rogers was very deserving of the SDN Player of the Year, but Kirkwood was considered a very close second. Rogers and Kirkwood were two different kind of players, but both were very good at what they did.
When it came to picking player of the year, Rogers had a little bit better season in scoring and took the Jackets a step further in the playoffs than Kirkwood did with the Chargers. Rogers averaged 18 points per game, while Kirkwood had 17.1.
There is no denying that Kirkwood was special at Choctaw County and the sharp-shooting Rogers was something to see when he got hot from 3-point territory. They would definitely have been a nice one-two punch if they had played together on the same team. They should be very good additions to their junior college teams later this year.
The careers of Rogers and Kirkwood should continue to blossom and it won't be long before another season on the hardwood comes around for them with all of the dunks and long-range shots that come with it.

What's in a name? A lot, if yours is the same as that of a radical Islamist group.
So American mobile payment service Isis has changed its name to Softcard to distinguish itself from Islamic State (IS), formerly known as the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and commonly shortened to Isis, according to BBC News.
"However coincidental, we have no desire to share a name with this group," Softcard chief executive Michael Abbott said.
It's understandable, given that the other Isis is responsible for mass killings and abductions of members of religious and ethnic minorities, as well as beheading soldiers and journalists.
Isis was also the name of the defunct Boston "post-metal" group. Its Facebook page is now changed to "Isis the band" after it received abusive messages from posters who confused them with the Islamist organisation.
Ann Summers, a British retailer specialising in lingerie, apologised for the "unfortunate timing" of its launch in August of a range of "erotic lingerie" called The Isis Collection.
In 2013 there were 46 babies born in the UK called Isis, making it the 825th most popular girls' name.
All, presumably, take inspiration from the Egyptian goddess, the Oxford river or the 1976 Bob Dylan song, rather than the Sunni militants.

"You've quiet…." Sarina offers as she glances over at him.
After going out for dinner that night, they had retreated back to her house to take in some Christmas movies. Once going through the possibilities, they had settled on going through the Home Alone collection, each movie at a time.
"I'm enjoying the movie," he states with simplicity laced in his voice. She shakes her head, though, knowing that wasn't the case. He was even more quiet than normal when it came to their movie-watching quietness.
"Chase, I've gotten to know you over the past couple of months," she starts. "Tell me the truth." He lets out a sigh as it was the truth.
Since the conversation with Ricky, he had thought about plans for Christmas. He wanted to spend Christmas with his parents, but he also wanted to spend it with Sarina. The simple answer meant having her fly up to Georgia with him to do that very thing together. However, that'd involve his parents finding out about them being together and asking her.
He didn't see a problem with that, though. Given how much time he was around his parents, it was only going to be a matter of time till they figured it out. He was actually surprised that his mom hadn't picked up on the signs yet. She was quite close that day in Chicago. Why not do the right thing and tell themselves to save the guessing?
Of course, that brought a whole new trade of thought. Why go forth with hiding the relationship? Why create the possibility for discussion behind their back and rumors? Why not just come out with it and see where things went? He wanted to be openly able to spend every minute with her, and selfishly wanted her there by his side for the Daytona 500 in February. Why not just come out now?
"What do you think about us coming out about the relationship?" He finally asks her, causing a shocked expression on her face. She was thinking that his multitude of thoughts surrounded either their new racing deal or Christmas, not that level of the relationship.
"Chase, we've talked about this…." She says quietly and he shakes his head, agreeing, remembering their countless discussions. However, in his mind, her arguments no longer sounded valid.
"I know that we talked about it, but hear me out, please." He then takes a deep breath, remembering what he said earlier. "You're worried about whether someone will recognize you. You have a new name – third name that you've ever had – and have completely changed. Plus, it's been six years since anything happened. They've probably forgotten abo-"
"And what if they haven't, Chase?" Chase lets out a sigh.
"They may not have, but you're different and an identity that they don't know of. You're also a racing superstar now in the late model circuit, talked about on a variety of websites. Wouldn't that have tipped them off?" She knew that was probably the case and solved her question, but wasn't convinced yet…or wouldn't let herself become convinced.
"I guess…."
"You're also worried about how others in the industry will talk about you. Your talent speaks for itself. Those that need to know understand that our deal was put together for the right reasons, and those alone. As a result, why does it matter? If people can't see past it, then they're not watching what you're doing on track or deserve your respect." A small smile formed on her face as she thought about the praise that he had given her. It felt good to hear that, especially from someone as respected as Chase.
"I'll think about it, okay? I'll give it a couple days on the mind and then let you know." It gave him a good feeling inside, but it didn't totally solve the problem as Christmas was also in a couple days. He needed to do something about it now. "Can we at least com-"
"I'm fine with that, as long as you agree to come home with me to Georgia for Christmas and spend it with my family." Her jaw drops immediately in hearing the question – more like an ultimatum from Chase. Was he serious about welcoming her home for Christmas? Though taking a deep breath, it wasn't a bad idea. It'd be nice to have someone to spend Christmas with, especially Chase. She already knew that his parents liked her, virtue of Bill accepting the offer to hire her and Cindy's understanding in Chicago.
"I have no problem with that, actually. I think it'll be fun to be with you on Christmas with your family." Chase couldn't help but be happy in response. That was all he needed for now as he could worry about the rest later.
He just hoped that everything went smoothly with his parents.

An extract from 'Through the Mists' book group – chapter eight.
'….if I just experience my desire; if I'm just humble to my desire; and I let that emotional experience even purify my desire ….if you think about it, if you really allow the experience emotionally of what you want, any fear you have around it immediately gets triggered, but also you can kind of feel if it's a bit icky as well, can't you? A lot of times you can. Often we shut it down and act it out because we don't want to feel the ickiness of when it's out of harmony with love; or when it's in harmony with love, we don't want to feel those terrible feelings that Fred felt : Please tell me I can do it; I can't bear it if I can't do it. You know, so, this experience of allowing desire really opens us up emotionally to everything, I feel. All of the error; all of the fear; and all of the beauty inside of us. And what I really felt with what Cushna was showing to Fred there is, if we are just humble to desire; and we're humble to God's way of the universe acting, then God will present the opportunity for our desire to be fulfilled. And in the way he deems us to be ready.
'And my experience of that is : Yeah, I think I'm going to do a book group with twelve people in our living room. And then sixty-five of you turn up; and I go : Okay, God obviously thinks I'm ready for 65 people. (laughs) I don't. I followed my desire and this is what came, I have to trust God on this one because I feel pretty insignificant. And you know, that was the beautiful thing, I wrote in my journal : There's an interplay between desire and God; and patience requires humility, or it's enabled by humility; and God sees the best time, and we only need to be ready to respond when He presents the opportunity. So this idea of having to force through the fear and make the desire happen, it's a lack of humility, isn't it? We will act when the opportunity is brought to us, we don't have to push it to happen, we don't have to be passive, we just have to be ready to respond and be humble to the feelings that are going on.'

Hartwall Limonadi
The three soft drinks of the Hartwall Limonadi product family – Hartwall Limonadi Omena, Päärynä and Vadelma – are all top quality and traditional soft drinks for sweet moments of enjoyment.
Hartwall Limonadi Omena is one of the market's most unique and most traditional soft drinks. A closely guarded recipe, originating in Vyborg and dating back to the Interim Peace in the Second World War, gives the product a soft, round and well-balanced flavour, which is almost impossible to imitate. The apple lemonade has a fruity and sweet taste, and a low carbonic acid content. The sister products Hartwall Limonadi Päärynä and Vadelma complement the traditional lemonade family, which transports you back to summers spent at grandma's.

Finally, the fourth and last installment: what I believe, in a very large nutshell. Or: say it loud, I'm lefty and I'm proud.
40. Gay equality is a sign of progress. Agree strongly: Absolutely. As much as anything else out there, really.
41. The state should be able to put a criminal to death if the crime was serious enough. Disagree strongly: Nope. No exceptions. Capital punishment is never acceptable.
42. The military budget should be scaled back. Agree strongly: Both in the out-of-control USA, for whom I imagine this quiz was designed, and up here too, where military spending has been on the rise as other things are being slashed.
43. Economic competition results in inumerable innovations that improve all of our lives. Agree: It also results in many horrid things that hurt us all. But I won't deny that competition has enabled progress in certain ways that might not have occurred without it.
44. It is not our place to condemn other cultures as backwards or barbaric. Agree: Phenomenally loaded question. I am up for criticising other cultures - or perhaps to put it better criticising other societies. I think you can establish benchmarks and then according to them 'rate' the countries of the world. But obviously 'barbaric' is not a useful word. And neither is 'condemn'.
45. When one group is slaughtering another group somewhere in the world, we have a responsibility to intervene. Agree: I do agree. Death matters, whoever it's happening to, wherever in the world. I haven't looked up 'intervene' in the dictionary to see if it refers solely to military measures. But I tend to think that the word can apply to things other than guns a-blazin'.
47. Unrestrained capitalism cannot last, as wealth and power will concentrate to a small elite. Agree strongly: I think this is currently happening, to a rather shocking degree. The fact that some of the world's richest have a philantropical bent doesn't really change all that much - at the moment, worldwide the gap is increasing at a shocking rate, and sooner or later it has to give.
48. It is a problem when young people display a lack of respect for authority. Disagree: Not really. Perhaps I'm not yet old enough to get upset about that.
49. When corporate interests become too powerful, the state should take action to ensure the public interest is served. Agree strongly: What else is the state for?
50. A person's morality is of the most personal nature; therefore government should have no involvement in moral questions or promote moral behaviors. Neutral: I'm not neutral about this at all, but I'm undecided. I think that a government has a very real role in promoting tolerance, for example. They should be doing whatever they can to change bigots' minds - shy, of course, of active coersion. I suspect that this question is designed to make people think of the opposite - of 'legislating morality' by, for example, criminalising homosexuality. While that's reprehensible, I don't think I can quite make the blanket statement that the questions wants me to, though.
52. A nation's retirement safety net cannot be trusted to the fluctuations of the stock market. Agree: Well, it's tough to argue with this, one would think. 'Sorry grandpa, but it's Ramen noodles for you this month; RIM underperformed.' But the world never fails to surprise me.
